Full text of "Notes and queries"

See other formats 


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

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

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

Usage  guidelines 

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

We  also  ask  that  you: 

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

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

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

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

About  Google  Book  Search 

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

poTtant  place  which  he  Accepted  ;  the  bnumfrable 
details  of  the  work  confused  him,  be  lost  his  he^id, 
oominitted  blunder  after  blunder,  and,  after  a  few 
moDthfl,  wua  siiperaeded  by  M.  de  CaloDDe^  leaving 
a  greater  deficit  than  bad  ever  beea  knowu  befure. 
About  this  time,  bariused  by  his  credltoTs  on  one 
side,  secretly  employed  by  the  miniater  on  the 
other  in  assisting;  the  Americans  in  their  struggle 
for  independence,  his  debts  and  hin  vnat  specu- 
lations continually  agitating  his  mind  with  viaions 
of  immense  wealth  or  abject  poveity,  while  hi» 
fleet  with  ita  conroy  were  uble  to  help  a  French 
ailmiral  to  iotiict  a  heavy  blow  on  an  English 
squadron,  at  the  cost  of  many  ships  and  much 
merchandise  to  the  speculator  himadf, — Beau- 
marchais  was  yet  never  able  to  extort  frnm  the 
Gorernment  more  than  a  tithe  of  what  wns  due  to 
him.  He  received  the  em  ilea  of  the  kin^,  but  not 
hia  coin«  even  after  the  great  service  mentioned 
nbove.  Not  until  he  had  been  thirty-six  yeara  in  his 
grave  did  his  family  receive  anything  from  the 
wreck  of  his  claims  upon  the  Americim  Govern- 
ment—claima  that  only  needed  the  siDcere  sup- 
port of  his  own  to  establish  them,  clear  and  in- 
contestable. 

M.  E.  Fouraier,  in  his  admirable  edition  of  the 
works  ofBeiiiimarchnis  (IS7(>),  prints  a  letter,  till 
then  unpubliaheilt  which  be  justly  calls  very 
importaut.  It  is  dated  (be  IS  Mam,  1763i  and  is 
also  addressed  to  the  Comte  de  Vergennes.  To 
that  letter  Beaumarchaia  says  that  be  had  seen 
M.  de  Fleury,  who  bad  promised  to  occupy  him- 
self with  his  "  indispensAble  liquidation."  The 
writer  represent ed  t hat  i t  was  alread y  three 
months  since  hia  acconnts  had  been  htid  before 
the  kin^.  '*Je  suia  serr^  be  says,  "dans  un 
^tau."  Hia  engagements  would  suffer  no  post- 
poDement,  The  seizure  of  his  two  vessels  hstd  cost 
him  more  thun  60IJ,IKI0  fr. ,  and  the  publicity  of 
hie  losses  h;id  brought  hia  creditors  down  upon 
him.  Remittances  from  America  bad  been  sus- 
pended. The  Aigle,  on  board  of  which  he  h:id 
4,(.KX)  bales,  was  taken.  Floods  at  Morlaix  had 
spoiled  KXl.OCiO  fr.  worth  of  his  goods  in  ware- 
houses. On  the  eve  of  his  payment,  the  day 
before^  a  broker,  by  fraudulent  bankruptcy,  had 
deprived  him  of  30,0i>0fr.  "This  is  the  hardest 
time  of  my  life,"  he  continues;  "nnd  you  know, 
M.  le  Oomte*  that  I  have  now  had  for  three  years 
more  thao  2i.K),00Ofr.  locked  up  in  tbe  enormous 
massof  parchment  title-deedswhicb  M-deManrepas 
ordered  me  to  buy  up  secretly  in  every  direction. 
I  shall  perish  unless  M.  de  Fieury  quickly  decides 
with  you  to  throw  to  mo  the  sutu  which  I  request 
on  account,  oa  one  throws  a  rope  to  a  drowning 
man." 

A  monLh  after  this  strong  appeal,  nothing 
appears  to  have  been  yet  done  to  relieve  poor 
Beaumarchsis.  He  then  writes  the  following 
touching  letter,  which  lies  now  before  me  : —

THE  EPIPHANY  AGAPE  OF  THE  CHURCH 

I  OF  03IM0. 

I  I  have  before  now,  on  the  question  of  the  Bene- 
diction of  the  Paschal  Candle  {5*"  3.  xi.  321)  cited 
in  the  pa^ea  of  '*  N.  &  Q /'  some  features  of  local 
Italian  rituul  which  possess  an  interest  for  the 
uitii(uary  as  well  as  for  the  litiiri^iolo^st. 

Il  appears  to  me  that  the  Epiphany  ceremonies 
formerly  practised  in  the  Church  of  Osimo.  in  the 
.'Bmilia,  fall  distinctly  within  lh«  above  category ; 
and  I  therefore  offer  them  for  what  wiJI  practicilly 
be  the  Epiphany  number  of  "  N.  &  Q. "  as  well  as 
the  first  of  the  new  year. 

Beeidea  the  purely  liturgical  peculiarities  of  the 

Church  of  Osimo,  which,  in  atrictneas.  seem  rather 

^o  have  been  common  to  the  ffroup  of  dioceses  on 

Wp9  Adriatic   slope  of   the  Apenoiuea  embraced 

^ntbin  what  used  to  be  known  as  the  LeKatiooD, 

^■ere  was  a  celebration  of  the  festival  which   the 

■irerend  authority  whom  I  follow,  the  Canonico 

Fanciulli,  in  hia  elaborate  and  int«re8ting  treatise 

Ifi  Alcuni  JiUi  ddla  CatUdrale  di  H#imo(Roma, 

Stainperia  Salomoni,  s.  a,,  but  Imprimatur  dated 

Z605)  calls  an  *'  Ayape."     From  Canon  FanciuUi's 

statements  it  would  appear  to  be  in  their  Procea- 

■ionalB  that  we  should  look  for  these  survivals  uf 

old  Italian  church  customs,  which  lasted  in  many 

<liooesea  for  a  considerable  time  after  the  Roman 

Missal  and  Breviary  bad  authoritatively  superseded 

all  other  foraiulariee. 

Accordingly,  we  find  that  the  nssgo  of  the 
Church  of  Oiimo,  in  holdini^  a  solemn  procession 
for  the  benediction  of  the  holy  water  at  the 
featiral  of  the  Kpiphany,  was  one  of  the  ritual 
praoticea  which  survived  the  general  adoption  of 
ibe  Roman  rite  in  Italy.  This  procession,  in  which 
the  laity  of  the  city  were  represented  by  a  richly- 
dreaaed  patrician  who  headed  it  as  cross-bearer, 
Parted  from  the  cathedral  after  Compline  on  the 
•re  of  the  Epiphany.  It  seems  worth  noting  here 
that  women  were  excluded  from  the  cathedral  at 
the  formation  of  the  procession.  And  it  seems 
no  leas  worthy  of  note  that  the  procession,  though 
Mtualiy  part  of  the  festival,  beinj;  held  "nella 
H^ilia  d«U'  Kpifania,"  would  appear  to  hare  been 


treated  in  the  diocese  of  Osimo  as  penitential ;  for 
the  clergy,  we  are  told,  were  vested  in  violet.  Il 
is  possible,  of  coarse,  if  not  probable,  that  bere» 
too,  we  have  a  survival  of  an  ancient  custom, 
tJie  reason  for  which  may  not  now  be  easy  to  trace. 
The  holy  water,  I  should  add,  was  carried  home  bj 
the  pftople  after  the  benediction. 

After  the  procession  and  benediction  came  the 
"  AKapey"  which  took  place  in  a  room  within  the 
catbeural  adjoining  the  sacristy. 

The  banquet — a  very  light  one,  it  mast  be  ooa> 
fessed — consisted  of  various  kinds  of  sweets, 
described  by  Canon  Fanciulli  aa  *'  vane  confetture 
e  cticcherioi."  Its  ecclesiastical  character  is 
shown  by  the  fact  that  the  only  pe^ons  admitted 
to  participate  were  the  clergy  and  what  may  be 
callud  representative  laity ;  only,  in  this  instance, 
as  in  othera  ontaide  the  limits  \>i  the  /Ecnilia,  it 
was  the  laity  of  high  dej^ree  who  alone  were  con- 
sidered to  be  representative. 

Canon  Fanciulli  considers  the  appUcslion  to  this 
banquet  of  the  term  '"Agape"  to  be  warranted  by 
its  analogy  with  the  apostolic  and  sub-apHtolic 
''Agape"  on  the  following  three  grounds:— (1) 
Because,  like  its  prototype,  it  set  forth  the  brother- 
hood of  Christians  ;  (2)  becanae  it  was  celebrated 
at  eventide  ;  (3)  because  it  formed  part  of  the 
Sunday  offices,  in  token  of  the  joy  which  it  ex- 
pressed. Lastly,  I  would  call  the  attention  alike  of 
the  antiquary  and  liturgiologist  to  the  circumstance 
noted  by  Canon  Fanciulli,  that  the  Epiphany 
Agnpeof  the  Church  of  Osimo  bore  tokens  of  aa 
Kustern  derivation,  as,  indeed,  might  well  be  the 
case  with  a  diocese  lying  between  Harenna  and 
Bart. 

I&  was  celebrated,  remarks  the  Canon,  as  St. 
Gregory  tells  us  in  hia  Sacramentary  that  it  was  the 
custom  of  the  Oreeka  to  celebrate  the  festival  of 
the  Epiphany,  "omntbua  ad  fontes  couveniootibua 
cum  lampadibua  et  tbure  ibi  moltis  precibua  aqua 
benedicatur."  And,  aa  has  been  shown  above,  at 
Osimo  in  the  ^Emilia,  as  in  the  Greek  Church,  there 
was  A  great  benediction  of  water  at  the  feast  of 
the  Epiphany,  and  therewith  the  faithful  were 
sprtnkltid,  they  and  their  housea  and  their  fields. 

Thus  were  celebrated  the  solemnities  of  the 
Kpipbany  in  the  diocese  of  Osimo  down  to  the 
begianing  of  the  eighteenth  century.  It  may  be 
ihat  the  "  Agape  "  of  Osimo  was  the  last  survivor 
in  the  Latin  Cburch  of  the  Love  Feast  of  the  early 
Cfariatinn  centuries.  C.  H.E.  Cabuicuaeu

A  PRAGMEXT  OP  ENGLISH  HI8T0RV. 
It  is  tolerably  well  known  among  antiquaries 
that  that  ancient  body  the  Honourable  Artillery 
Company  of  London  poMeases  a  very  interesting 
literary  relic  called  the  "Vellum  Book."  ThlaVswJt

have  been  admitted  to  the  Ajtillery  Gurdoo/'  com- 
meocing  ia  Ifill  and  runnlD^  coDtinuousty  for 
about  three-quarters  of  n  century.  The  chitf  in- 
terest lies  in  tbe  openiiig  pageH  of  the  book,  which 
are  devoted  to  the  aiitogniphs  of  the  uforcsaid 
gentleinert,  and  which  are  especially  rich  in  the 
hiter  Stuarfc  period,  exhibitinj;  an  arruy  of  the 
8i(;nnLure3  of  almost  all  the  nio^t  eminent  cbaractera 
of  the  reigns  of  Charles  II.  and  James  IT.  The 
firai  two  autographs  are  those  of  Oh^vrles  and  Janiea 
when  respectively  Prioce  of  Walts  and  Duke  of 
York.  Upon  following  page*  are  the  autographs 
of  the  monarchs  who  succeeded  thfin  upon  the 
throne,  and  of  the  i<isue  of  such  monarchs  (the 
latest  being  that  of  H.R.H.  Albert  Kdward,  Prince 
of  Wales),  each  nume  having  either  a  separate 
page,  or  u  coosideruble  portion  of  a  page>  gor- 
geously illuiuinated,  to  itself.  After  the  royal 
pages  coD5e  those  bearing  the  signatures  of  subjects 
in  close  order.  It  is  important  to  note  that  so  ex- 
clusive wa"*  the  Ppproprirttion  of  the  royal  pages, 
that  even  Prince  Rupert,  first  cousin  of  Charles  II., 
has  signed  among  the  multitude. 

The  antogrnphs  of  Charles  and  James  appear  to 
have  been  written  on  June  1,  1641;  and  very  im- 
posing they  look  within  their  gilded  illuminated 
circle,  where  for  tbirty-efgbt  years  they  remained 
unprofaned  by  tbe  hand  of  Inwlier  mortals ;  for, 
although  during  that  period  Rupert,  Monmouth, 
Grafton,  Albemarle,  Buckingham,  Shaftesbury^ 
Sunderlam^,  Danby,  and  other  gre:it  ones  were 
"admitted  to  the  garden,"  none  dared  to  sign 
iipoD  bia  sovereign's  page.  Tbe  cbarm  was,  how- 
ever, broken  ut  last.  At  aome  distance  below  the 
royalties,  in  rather  tremulous  characters,  is  the 
following  anlogniph  :  '*  Plymouth  "  followed  hy  the 
date,  "21  October,  I67D."  How  it  ciime  there  ia 
the  object  of  this  not©  to  suggest. 

Charlea  Fitz-ChArlea  was  the  ille^iitimale  son 
of  Charles  IT.  by  Catberine,  daughter  of  Thomas 
P^&gi  °^  Yeldersley,  in  the  County  of  Derby, 
Ksq.  Born  in  16S8,  he  was  raised  to  the 
peerage  in  1675  by  the  titles  of  P-umn  Iiart- 
mouth,  Viscount  Totne«H,  and  K:irl  of  Plymouih. 
His  autograph  (for  bis  it  is)  in  the  position 
noted  alTords  an  illustration  of  the  hislnry  of  the 
period.  The  Dukpa  of  Monmomh  and  Omfton, 
two  other  of  Charles's  illegitimate  wons,  had  been 
content  to  sign  their  names  in  the  body  of  the  book, 
Monmouth  signing  in  1664 — a  lime  when  Charles 
might  bo  expected  to  have  legitimate  issue— and 
Grafton  signing  towards  the  end  of  1677,  when 
the  recent  marriage  of  the  Princess  Mary  to 
Wilttam  of  Orange  iippenred  to  secure  the  ultimate 
devolution  of  the  crown  in  a  Protestant  line.  But 
thp  date  of  Plymouth's  signature  is  October  21, 
1679,  a  time  when  the  country  vnis  vebemcnily 
anti- papistical,  when  SliarJ^esbury,  in  the  zenith  of 
l^^is  power  and  fresh  from  his  Habeas  Corpus  Act 
^H^Uitory,  hod  trinmphantly  secured  tbe  second  read- 


ing, by  a  large  majority,  in  the  Hnn^e  of  Commons 
of  a  Bill  to  exclude  tbo  Duke  of  York  from  the 
succe«sion,  and  when  Jumes  was  vainly  bidding 
io  nil  quarters  for  support  and  popularity.  He 
had  that  very  day  gone  into  the  city  to  dine  with 
the  Honourable  Artillery  Company,  had  been  hooted 
and  met  with  erica  of  "  No  Popery  "  in  tbe  streets, 
and  his  presence  at  table  had  caused  many  persona 
of  consequence  to  at>scnt  themselves  from  the 
banquet,  some  of  whom,  rather  maliciously,  gave 
away  their  dinner  tickets  to  a  lot  of  riff-nitf,  whwe 
company  certainly  did  not  tend  to  mitigate  the 
general  ill  sncccsa  of  the  day.  Plymouth  wa» 
among  those  present ;  he  saw  ull  that  passed  ;  he 
was  doubtless  aware  that  Churleii  had  ere  this 
been  inQuenced  to  avoid  tbe  presumptive  heirship 
of  James  by  declaring  Moniyouth  his  legitimate 
heir  (Buckingham  was  ready  to  forge  evidence 
of  the  mother's  marriage  to  the  king) ;  he  was 
ObarWs  next  eldest  son  after  I^Ionmouth  ;  it  w;ia 
quite  possible  that  a  tucky  stroke,  say  an  Act  to 
iegitinmtize  tbe  Protestant  bastards,  might  bring 
him  within  the  line  of  succession;  and  thus,  with 
admirable  presence  of  mind,  be  disdains  the  leaves 
upon  which  many  other  noble  and  distinguished 
persons  that  day  admitted  have  signed  theirnames, 
and  asserts  his  royal  station  by  placing  his  auto- 
graph upon  that  august  page  below  that  of  th^ 
kiEg,  his  father.

The  Star  ok  thb  Magi.—Ii  is  well  known 
that  the  idea  was  started  by  the  famous  (but  fnnci* 
ful)  Kepler  that  the  star  which  brought  the  magi 
to  Jerusalem  at  the  time  of  our  Lard's  birth  was, 
in  fact,  a  cnnjunction  or  near  approach  of  tbo 
planets  Jupiter  and  Saturn,  which,  in  fact,  did 
occur  in  the  year  of  Rome  747,  or  nc.  7,  (wo  years 
before  the  most  probable  date  of  the  Nativity. 
Dr.  Ideler>  of  Berlin,  worked  out  ibia  idea  in 
considerable  detail  in  bis  Handbuch  der  Mathe- 
inoiuchtn  vnd  Technischtn  Chronologie^  published 
in  18:e!5,  and  concluded  from  his  calculations  that 
the  two  planets  at  one  time  approached  each  other 
so  closely  th.it  for  a  weak  sight  ("fiir  ein  schwaches 
Auge"}  they  would  present  the  appearance  of  ft 
single  star.  Prof.  Pritchard  (now  of  Oxford)  wn» 
induced  by  ihia  expression  to  re-examino  tbe 
question  and  go  tbnnigh  the  labour  of  performing 
the  calcul'^tion  again,  the  result  of  which  is  giveu 
in  vol,  XXV.  of  the  Memoirx  of  the  Royal  Astro- 
nomical Society,  and  the  substance  of  his  paper  is 
incor|>orated  in  an  article  (by  himself)  in  Smith's 
wtdl-KOown  Dictionary  of  the  Bible.'  It  amounts 
to  ihiE),  that  the  planets  never  approached  nearer 
than  a  distance  of  about  one  degree,  equal  to  very 
nearly  twice  the  apparent  diameter  of  the  moon.

woMER. — In  1692  Edmund  Halley,  the  celebrnted 
astronomer,  was  consulted  by  a  friend  as  to  the 
acreage  of  England  and  Wales.  Uia  process  was 
very  originid.  lie  took  the  best  map  of  England 
which  be  could  get,  cot  out  the  part  which  repre- 
sented the  land,  weighed  it,  and  compared  tho 
weight  with  that  of  an  inch  taken  from  the  middle 
of  the  map,  the  centre  of  which  was  a  point  equi- 
distant from  King's  Lynn  and  the  mouth  of  the 
Severn,  tie  found  that  the  land,  with  the  islands 
of  Wight,  Anglesey,  and  Man,  wivs  four  times  the 
weight  of  bis  circle.  His  calculation  gave  him 
38,660,000  acres.  He  then  in  the  same  manner 
cut  out  and  weighed  the  several  counties.  He 
found,  after  carefully  drying  the  pieces  —  the 
humidity  of  the  air  was  the  great  difhculty  in  his 
calculation  —  that  40,000  acres  weighed  a  grain. 
The  aliovo  note  is  a  singular  illustration  of  the 
manner  in  which,  before  a  proper  survey,  an  able 
mathematician  tried  to  solve  a  dithcult  problem. 
The  actual  acreage  is,  excluding  the  Isle  of  Man^ 
37,319,221;  and  Hallcy  pleads  that  he  should  bo 
licensed  to  the  extent  of  a  million  acres  or  bo, 
especially  as  he  had  to  include  rivers  and  roads.

Bullock  Carts.— Mr.  Edward  B.  Tylor,  in  his 
Anthropolotry,  p.  200,  tells  us  that  in  Portugal  tho 
old  claaaic  bullock  cart  may  still  be  seen.  In  these 
cjirts  the  wheels  do  not  revolve  on  the  axle,  but  the 
axle  turns  round  with  the  wheels.  It  may  be  well 
to  note  that  such  carts  have  been  used  in  this  part 
of  Lincolnshire  within  the  memory  of  onr  grand- 
fathers, My  father,  who  waa  born  in  1793,  could 
not  remember  ever  to  have  seen  one,  but  his  fathori 
who  was  born  in  1763,  was  familiar  with  them. 
They  were  thought  to  be  better  for  use  on  very 
heavy  rouds  than  those  with  fixed  axles.

If  "great  lyrists"  do  so,  with  this  or  any  other

BCEF-EATER, 

(G***  S.  vi.  361.  432,  491.) 

Punw.  Skkat  now  writes  as  if  I  had  advocated  the 

•  u  uf  heff  enter  from  hoffcticr;  but  this  is 

»?e.   I  wiw}  simply  nnxiouB  tosi'CHreforthe 

iri'to    frniii  hi'(fcti(r  titner  treatment  than  it 

?f  red  at  the  h:*mift  of  Prok.  Sksat,  and,  as 

in   my    Dflte,  to  shnw  that  Prop.  Skkat 

I<a<"e   to   inoilify  somewhat  his   article  on 

'If^'  ^ud   it  is  clear  that,  whatever  repug- 

oe   tuny  feel  to  do  so,  be  must  modify  it, 


inasmuch  as,  now  that  I  have  &hown  the  word 
bufftiitr  to  Imve  had  tv  very  distinct  existence,  he 

cim   no  longer  say,  "I  do  not  6nd hvffetia-y 

As  for  my  word^i,  "  the  opinion  sow  so  commonly 
entertained,"  to  which  Prop.  Skkat  sMms  to  take 
exception,  they  were  intended  not  to  express  ray 
own  view,  bui  to  give  that  of  Prof.  Seeat  him- 
self, when  he  says,  "  I  suppose  it  is  hopeless  to 
protest  against  what  all  believe." 

1  cannot  see  either  that  I  have  strained  the 
meaning  of  baJfctUr  in  any  way.  The  word  buffet 
in  its  early  days  meant,  omon^  other  things,  the 
counter,  dresser,  or,  as  we  shotdd  now  say,  bar  of 
a  tavern,  upon  which  stood  the  mixed  wine  (hence 
called  vin  He  bufftt^  or  bar-wine)  which  the  owner 
of  the  tavern  sold  across  the  counter.  From  the 
word  hufftt  in  this  sense  came  buffttUr,  which, 
therefore,  properly  speaking,  meant  /jur-man,  bub 
came  lo  mean  tavemer,  tavern-keeper,  becaase  in 
such  small  establishments  the  man  who  served  at 
the  bar  was  commonly  the  proprietor  of  the  estab- 
lishment also.  At  u  later  period  the  word  bfffel 
rose  in  the  world,  and  came  to  mean  a  $ideh<>ird 
in  the  houws  of  the  more  wealthy,  and  even  in 
royal  residences,  and  this  is  still  the  ordinary 
meaning  of  the  word.*  All  that  I  attempted  lo 
show,  therefore,  was  that,  as  when  bvffet  meant 
bar  the  derived  noun  buffdUr  mei^t  one  who 
waited  or  served  at  a  bar,  oo  when  buff'ct  came  to 
signify  tidehoard^  bytffeiier  might  well  have  meant 
one  who  waited  at  a  sideboard.  And  that  it  did 
so,  or  was  about  to  do  so,  surely  the  definition  given 
by  Godefroy  (who  does  not  mention,  and  probably 
does  not  know,  the  word  beff-eaUr,  and  is  there- 
fore quite  unprejudiced),  viz.,  sommelicTf  which  is 
more  or  less  the  equivalent  of  our  buiUrf  goes  some 
way  to  show.  I  say  "or  was  about  to  do  so,"  because 
there  is  one  point  which  Prof.  Skkat  either  forgets 
or  ignores,  and  which  yet  must  be  Mken  into  con* 
sideration  when  the  words  bvffetur  and  beef-taUr 
are  considered,  and  that  is,  that  between  the  bo- 
ginning  of  the  sixteenth  century  and  1755  (when, 
I  believe,  Johnson's  hUtionary  appeared),  that  ii 
to  say,  dwring  Uco  hundred  andji/ty  yeart,  there  is 
no  full  or  trustworthy  dictionary  of  the  English  or 
French  spoken  and  written  during  that  period.!  It 
is  impoBsihle  to  say,  therefore,  for  certain  what 
mttmlng^  bvffdier  hid  during  all  thiB  time,  and

•vee  do  not  even  Vnow  wheo  it  ultiniAt«Iy  fell 
into  diBQse.  And  so  SK&in  with  regard  to  beef- 
eaUr,  it  mny  well  hnve  been  spelled  in  olber  wuys 
without  there  being  any  record  of  it.  Prof. 
Skr&t  allowfl  thnb  it  waa  in  use  as  early  rni  1610, 
and  yet  it  is  nob  found  either  ioMinnheu  (1617).  or 
in  Sherwood  0632),  or  even  in  Bailey  (1733). 
This  shows  what  the  dictionnriea  of  those  diiy^ 
were  really  worth.  I  therefore  suspend  my  judg- 
niCDt  until  there  is  a  good  French  tind  a  t^ood 
English  dictionary  for  the  period  Darned — until,  in 
fuct.  I  know  more  about  boLh  words. 

The  only  thing  else  that  I  attempted  to  do 
was  to  »how  that  bvffitier^  if  introduced  into  Eng- 
lish, might  become  btef-eaUr,  and  with  tbU  p;irt 
of  my  note  Prop.  Skeat  has  not  attempted  to 
deal  Beriously.  If  there  had  been  any  refd  diffi- 
calty  in  this  part  of  the  matter,  a^  eminent  a  com- 
pamtivo  philoloi^ist  as  Fror  Max  Miilter  would 
not  have  adopted  the  derivation  from  hvfftiitr. 

With  reipird  to  PnoF.  Skkat's  sUilement  that 
he  knows  of  no  proof  that  httf-iater  ever  meant  a 
waiter  at  a  sideboard,  may  I  oak  him  if  he  really 
know.1  exactly  cither  what  their  duties  were  or 
what  they  now  are  ? — for  I  confess  that  I  do  not. 
We  all  know  that  specimens  of  the  race  are  to 
be  seen  at  the  Tower,  but  there  are,  no  doubt. 
many  nthe^  In  the  Popular  BncyclojHTiiia 
(RIiickicA  Son,  1874)  I  find  Iteff-eaUrs  describeil  as 
'•  Yeomen  nf  the  guard  of  the  sovereign  of  Great 
Britain.  They  are  stationed  by  the  sidehmrd  at 
great  royal  dinners.  There  are  now  one  hundred  in 
service,  and  seventy  Bupernumerajic^.  They  are 
dresseil  after  the  fashion  of  the  time  of  Henry  VII.*'* 
I  should  like  to  know  whether  they  are  really  still 
(or  if  they  ever  were)  tidtiorifd  by  tht  royal  side- 
board  on  grand  occasions.  This  is  no  important 
point,  and  might,  one  wmild  think,  be  settled,  as 
far.  at  least,  as  the  present  time  is  concerned. 

In  his  BD^fgestion,  that  *'  if  we  hod  borrowed  the 
word,  it  would  have  been  more  sensible  to  have 
given  it  the  sense  of  *  wine-toater,' "  pRoy. 
Skeat  makes  a  serious  blunder,  from  which  he 
would  have  been  saved  if  he  had  more  carefully 
studied  the  nilM  of  French  word-formation, 
.fiii^ffifr  never  did  and  could  not  me-in  "wine- 
taster."  French  substantives  in  ier  (like  the  corre- 
sponding Lit.  termination  arius,  which  is  properly 
adjectival)  are  never,  that  I  know  of,  derived  from 
verb^.  They  are,  as  a  role,  formed  from  other 
substantives.  Bvffeiier^  therefore,  cannot  come 
from  the  verb  hnjfettr,  which  alone  contains  the 
idea  of  tasting,  but  comes  from  buffet^  and  means

^Mr— the  or  of  the  Lut.  rt/or,  and  our  tr  (when  it>ii

those  substantives  which  are  derived  frnm  active

is  the  substantive  which  corrosponds  to  hvfftUr^  to-

In  conclusion,  I  will  just  «fty  one  word  with 
regard  to  the  banter  which  1  have  freqnentl^n 
noticed  that  Prop.  Sce.\t  thinks  lit  to  indulge  m 
at  the  expense  of  those  who  venture  to  differ  from 
him  in  opinion.  If  it  pleases  him,  and  if  he  thioki 
it  worthy  of  him,  pray  let  him  continue  it ;  but  for 
myself  I  fail  to  see  either  wit,  point,  or  logic  la 
the  assumption  that,  because  some  people  suppose 
that  in  one  case  the  final  letters,  ttier,  of  a  Fren^ 
word  have  been  corrupted  into  taUr  in  KnglishiX 
therefore  these  people  must  also  be  of  opinion  th»&

P.S.— Since  this  note  was  written  two  notes 
the  subject  have  appeared  in  "  N.  &  Q  ,'*  from  Si»- 
SiuiiALU  D.  Scott  and  Mb.  A.  !Smytur  pAi.MKRt 
but  it  is,  of  course,  impossible  for  me  to  sny  much 
about  them  in  a  postscript.  From  ftia  i>iBnAl.l> 
Scott's  note,  however,  it  appears  that  the  beef- 
eaters ate  nearly  half  an  much  again  of  veal  aaJ 
mutton  aa  they  did  of  beef,  and  that  they  were  nofr 
more  renowned  for  their  eatiug  than  were  the 
scullions.  And  Mr.  Pai.mkr's  quotuliuns  seem  to 
me  to  prove  nothing  mure  than  that  the  writ«t* 
named  took  the  word,  as  it  was  very  natural  they 
should,  to  be  compounded  of  be*/  and  Ki'rr,  aOft 
made  their  jokes  accordingly.  J  should  like  tb> 
unbiasxed  testimony  of  writers  who  hare  stfttcd 
facts  about  beef-eaters  without  mentioning  or  en 
alluding  to  the  etymology  of  the  word.

The  Death  of  Hampden  (6""  S.  vi.  3Cfl).~ 
When  Lord  Nugent  was  colIecLing  materiaU  for 
his  Memorials  of  John  Uiunpdcn,  published  id 
1832,  one  of  the  doubtful  poiots  tvhicb  it  was 
desirable  to  clear  up  was  the  true  cause  of  Hamp- 
^ien's  death,  which  tfwk  place  on  Jane  24,  1643, 
in  consequence  of  injuries  received  at  the  battle 
of  Chalgrave  Field,  between  the  Parliamentary 
and  Kojttlist  force?,  on  June  18,  1643.  The 
uccouats  of  bis  death  given  by  historians  nre 
vague  and  contradictory.  Olareudou  says  (ed., 
1703,  ii.  2**4),  '*Mr.  Humbden  ;  who,  being  phot 
into  the  shoulder  with  a  brace  of  bullets,  which 
brake  the  bone,  within  three  weeks  after  died." 
Clouyh  (Hampden'ri  chaplain?)  Bays  "he  received 
two  carrabine  ahotC  iu  hh  arme,  which  brake  the 
bone,"  and  died,  havint:  "  indured  moat  cruel 
onRuish  for  the  space  of  IS  dayea."  According  to 
Echard,  ti.  4L4,  'Mie  was  shot  into  the  shoulder 
Tffilh  a  brace  of  bullets  which  broke  the  bone,  and 
^rithin  six  days  after  dy'd  with  great  torment." 
Whilst  Warwicke  (Mimoires,  p.  2;i9)  sayji,  "Mr. 
Hamhden  received  au  hurt  in  the  shoulder,  where- 
of  in  three  or  four  dayes  after  he  dyed."  Lastly, 
it  was  Raid,  on  the  authority  of  a  MS.  in  Lord 
Oxford's  handwriting,  that  he  died  in  consequence 
of  the  shattering  of  his  hand  by  the  bursting  of 
his  own  overloaded  pistol. 

The  grave  of  John  Hampden  was  opened,  the 
•^ffin  raised,  and  the  body  a  contained  was  care- 


fully examined  by  Lord  Nn;;ent,  Counsellor  Den* 
man,  and  others,  on  July  21,  1828,  when  it  was 
found  that  the  right  hand  had  been  amputated 
previous  to  death,  and  that  the  shattered  finger 
bones  were  laid  beside  the  corpse  wrapped  in  cere 
cloth.  The  left  shoulder  was  found  to  bo  dis- 
located, probably  from  a  fall ;  but  the  bones  of 
neither  shoulder  ttbowcd  any  evidence  of  in- 
juries  by  bullets.  This  seamed  fully  to  bear  out 
the  truth  of  Sir  Robert  Pye's  statement  in  Lord 
Oxford's  MS.  A  full  account  of  the  matter  is 
given  in  the  GrmUmah't  Magazine  for  182S, 
pt.  ii.  p.  125-7,  and  is  also  to  be  found  in  most  of 
the  public  newspipers.  In  the  Times,  on  the 
following  day,  a  statement  wi^s  inserted  to  the 
effect  that  there  was  reason  to  doubt  whether  the 
body  so  examined  was  really  the  corpse  of  Hamp- 
den. The  John  Bull  was  bitter  on  thiSj  and  said, 
"  Wo  believe  it  im«,  hut  the  wnhieky  discovery 
that  he  had  blown  his  own  hand  ofl",  so  entirely 
deprived  his  death  of  the  glory  of  martyrdom, 
that  the  Whig^aniites  resolved  upnn  falsifying 
their  own  ntntemcnts,  to  save  the  reputation  ot 
the  Patriot."  Edward  Sollt. 

Mr.  Stmonds  will  find  an  account  of  Hamp- 
den's exhumation,  or  nupposed  exhumation,  and 
the  shattered  state  of  his  band  in  Lord  Nugent's 
M'-moriats  of  John  Hampden,  I  say  suppoud 
exhumation,  because  it  wus  asserted  that  the  body 
which  Lord  Nugent  and  companions  examined  in 
1828  was  not  the  body  of  Hampden,  and  not  even 
the  body  of  a  man,  but  of  a  woman  who  had  died 
in  child-birth  ;  and  that  the  loose  bones  found  in 
"  a  funeral  gluve  like  a  pocket,"  aud  maintained 
by  them  to  bo  the  shattered  boues  of  Uami>deD*a 
blind,  were  really  the  bones  of  the  deceased's  newly- 
born  infant. 

In  1&03  Mr.  Wilt.tam  Jamrs  Sicrrn  gave  an 
account  in  "N.  &  Q."  (Z'<^  S.  iii.  ll)of  the  ex- 
humation, at  which  he  bad  been  present.  [See also 
p.  72  of  the  suuie  vol.  of  "  N.  &  Q."]  This  was 
reproduced  in  tho  Times,  and  yiive  rise  to  a  corre-

journal  in  January  of  that  year.        Bonaccord,

has  wiataken  the  meaning  of  hedge  in  the  quotit- 
tioDB  he  makes.  Tn  JudgB  is  a  cant  phrase  de- 
rived from  the  tnrf,  and  nieADa  "  to  secure  a 
doubtful  bet  by  making  othen."  In  that  sense 
it  is  eHsy  to  undemtund  "  bedf^ing  the  battle  at 
the  price  of  his  liberty."  So  hedijing  the  Deceased 
Wife's  .Si!>ter  Bill  must  mean  bavin];;;  nome  other 
object  iu  view  which  would  be  gained  by  parsing 
the  Ad.  The  application  of  the  word  is  nt  once 
seen.  77f(/j^*,  however  used,  iuvnives  the  idea  of 
protection,  shelter,  and  may  be  tipplted  in  a  variety 
of  ways.  The  word  is  used  in  tUiit  sense  by  Shake- 
Biieare  :—

**  Hedgiwj  away  from  soroetbing"  is  a  mistake. 
It  should  be  tdging.  If  a  man  sneaks  off,  he 
naturally  takes  the  line  of  least  observatioD,  which 
i«  URually  the  outer  line  or  edge  of  the  locality. 
Of  course,  thi-!  nniy  happen  also  to  be  a  htdge^  but 
not  necessarily  so.  The  two  words  have  nothinfc 
in  coiuoion.  The  radical  idea  of  the  one  is  pro- 
tectiun  ;  that  of  the  other  the  boundary  line  of  a 
surface,  which  becomes  iu  muoy  coses  the  sharp

Surely  this  is  not  a  new  word,  but  one  which 
has  long  bud  a  special  meAninjLr  among  a  certain

ed.  1850,  p.  500).  With  this  njeanin^  the  word 
was  applied  to  the  game  here,  but  only  when 
played  with  rackets.  Mr.  Wedgwood  ia  there- 
fore correct  in  his  definition  :  '*  Tennu^  n  carne  in 
which  a  ball  ia  driren  to  and  fro  with  mcketa."  In 
an  English  version  of  the  Janua  Linguarum  of 
Comeniug,  by  Hoole  (1658),  there  is  a  representa- 
tion of  a  tennis  court  divided  by  a  line  or  cord  in 
the  middle,  and  the  players  stand  on  each  side  of 
it  with  rackets  in  their  hands  ready  for  the  game. 
A  bull  Kiime  played  with  the  hand  was  called  haod- 
bnll  or  hand-tennis.  We  are  told  that  when  Queen 
Elizabeth  waa  a  guest  of  the  Karl  of  Hertford,  at 
Elvclham  (1591),  "after  dinner,  ten  of  his  lord- 
ebip's  servants  did  hang  up  Lines,  squaring  out  the 
forme  of  a  tennis  court,  and  making  a  cross  line 
in  the  middle;  in  this  square  they  played  five  to 
five  with  hand-ball  at  bord  and  cord  as  they  tearrae 
it,  to  the  great  liking  of  ber  highness  "  (Nichols, 
Frog.  ii.  19,  Strutt,  p.  95).  Strutt  calU  the  game 
of  fives  "  hand-teunm  "  {Sports,  od.  1833,  p.  05). 
In  France,  however,  the  game  was  always  at  first 
played  by  hand,  and  hence  lUjitimefjeudipaulme. 
St,  Foix  says  that  "it  consisted  originally  in  re- 
ceiving the  ball  and  driving  it  back  again  with  the 
palm  of  the  hand.  In  former  times  they  played 
with  the  naked  hand,  then  with  a  glove,  which  in 
BOmo  instances  was  lined."  He  mentions  a  young 
woman  named  Margot  who  excelled  in  the  game, 
and  pliiyed  either  with  the  piilm  or  the  back  of  her 
hand  {JSssait  HUtoriipus  «ur  Parig^  i.  160,  Strutt, 
p.  9^).  Though  the  word  rackti  hris  come  to  us 
throufjh  France,  yet  the  custom  of  playing  with 
some  kind  of  instrument,  bat  or  racket,  seems  to 
bare  sprung  up  in  this  country,  for  Chaucer,  ia  bis

PnoF.  Skeat's  derivation  of  the  word  Unnia  (or 
teniSfM  it  was  formerly  written)  cannot  be  accepted, 
but  Mr,  Julian  Maksuall  is  not  correct  in  sny- 
ing  that  only  a  atout  cord  was  used  to  divide  the 
player*.  It  is  generally  spoken  of  as  a  line,  with- 
out reference  to  thickoean,  and  no  doubt  often 
Yaried  in  size.  The  common  proverbial  sajing, 
•'Thou  ba*t  stricken  the  bull  under  the  lino"  is 
found  iu  Ueywood,  meaniag  that  a  wrong  stroke

in  some  obKerrations  on  this  subject,  among  other 
examples,  that  of  a  tooth  dmwn  out  and  trans- 
pIoDted.  In  the  rhiioaophical  CoUeeiions  of  Mr. 
Hooke  it  i«,  1  believe,  stuted,  on  the  nutbority  of 
a  gentleman  named  Arnold,  that  a  man  handed  at 
Tyburn  for  theft  was  found,  shortly  after  bis

In  a  letter  addreaaed  by  a  Dr.  Bartholine  to

ToRTRAiT  or  Dante  ($^  S.  vi.  167,  297,  458). 
— There  is  not  only  the  terra-cotta  copy  of  the 
aft<>r-death  cost  at  Florence,  but  there  is  the  cast 
itself,  now  removed  thither,  though  when  Floreoc* 
nought  to  possess  herself  of  it  in  U>76  Ravenna 
refused  to  part  with  it,  and  a  monk  hid  it  away  (& 
copy  of  tbe  cast  and  the  empty  box  in  which  it 
was  concealed  are  all  that  now  remain  to  Kaveaua). 
Like  oU  casts  taken  from  a  corpse,  it  lacks  sharp- 
ness and  expression.  There  is  tbe  fine,  though  Mefis- 
tofelian — only  too  sharp— bronze  bust  in  the  Museo 
Borbnnico  at  Naples.  In  the  Palazzo  Pubblico, 
cither  at  Siena  or  Son  Gemigoano,  is  an  early 
but  not  contemporary  painting  of  Dante  being 
sent  to  San  Oomignano  as  ambassador  May  8th, 
1299,  into  which  he  is  introduced  as  one  of  th© 
characterB.  ^  And  then  there  is  the  jwrtniit  ascribetl 
to  R-'ifTaele  in  possession  of  Mr.  Morris  Moore,  ia 
Rome,  which  that  veteran  collector  considers  the 
only  one  worth  the  name  of  a  portrait.  But  these 
do  not  touch  tbe  original  very  puzzling  question, 
how  Carlyle  came  to  speak  of  Giotto's  portrait  a» 
*'  weil  known  "in  1841,  when  it  wasouly  uncovered 
that  year, and  could  not  have  been  '*  well  known" 
to  those  be  was  addressing.  Of  course,  i(  wtL^ 
well  known  and  prized  in  Italy  before  the  white- 
wash age  covered  it  up.  Is  it  not  possible  that  ho 
used  "  well  known"  in  this  sense  1    R.  E.Busic. 

P.S. — Since  I  sent  you  the  above,  Mr.  Hartwell 
Grissell  has  given  me  the  following  additional 
items.  The  painting  in  the  chapel  was  unwhite- 
washed  up  to  the  time  of  Vasari,  nnd  he  an  well 
as  Villani,  nnd  also  Manetti  in  his  Spi-cimen  Ilii' 
tonttf  alludes  to  it.  Carlyle  may  have  gained 
information  on  the  subject  through  bis  brother, 
who  was  a  commentator  on  Dante.  There  waa 
another  portmit  of  Dante  by  Giotto  in  llie  church 


at  Asaifii,     There   is  a   portrait  of  him   in  Stn. 
Maria  del  Fiore  by  Doni.  Michelmo,  I4ti5,  niip-

get  lists  of  solicitors  or  attorneys  of  the  date  of

in  1624,  or  earlier,  and  was  admitted  into  tho 
Middle  Temple  in  1035— eo  it  is  evident  that  he 
proved  his  descent ;  and  I  wished  to  see  if  the  list 
t^avc  the  name  of  bis  father,  pince  of  aborle,  ^c, 
tu  the  other  entries  of  the  Inns  of  Court  do.     The 

Cftbove  rules  are  not  generally  known,  and  are  in-

iotered  at  those  dates  and  after  were  of  proved

humour,  sentiment,  nnd  m  forth.  And  yei  in  neither 
L-aie  can  tbe  conditions  of  the  series  be  said  to  have 
greatly  affectel  the  literary  value  af  tbe  work.  So  much 
has  ben  said  about  Swift  that  wc  are  less  curious  for 
fscts  than  toa*rertiiin  how  be  presents  himself  toawriter 
who  knows  so  much  of  his  time  and  contemporaries  af 
Mr.  Stephen;  nur  have  we  been  so  surfeited  with 
Sterne  as  to  resent  a  frc*h  study  of  him  by  a  fresh  pen. 
Both  books  are,  in  truth.  admirut>ly  done.  Mr  Stephen'a 
e*%»y  is  full  of  all  those  tine  and  rupid  (uucbes  whicli 
distinguish  htm  among  critics.  No  one  can  bit  off  a 
judgment  in  a  passing  epigram  with  so  much  felicity,  as, 
fi^r  example,  when  be  speitks  of  Swift's  fricndrbip  (we 
regret  tltat  we  ctinnot  rptrac<?  tbe  psssn^e  an  as  to  quottf 
precisely),  as  "  an  anni'xntion  mtlier  ilum  an  alliance." 
With  regard  toStellB'smanisge  to  Swift  jtlr.Htephtn  wilt 
not  speak  decisivoly,  but  we  gather  that  be  inclines  to  be< 
lieTe  that  it  took  place.  His  conjecture  that  the  cryptic 
"  FiiiK't'^^'ck  Boliah  "  of  the  "little  language"  meane 
"  Pilparlirk  »irrali  "  is  ingenious,  and  may  iTte  to  exer- 
cise those  who  delight  in  innnitcsiroal  probUms.  Mr. 
Traill's  volume  is  in  a  difTcrent.  though  in  its  way  equally 
sugiieitire  nlyle.  Gnu  detects  here  and  there  tho 
hunionriit  of  tbe  lifcapturtU  Rhtpiief  s  but  we  are  not 
sure  ibat  tbe  desire  to  be  ultra-Sbaitdian  in  writing  of 
Sterne  has  not  son>etimesbetrsyed  bim  into  what  is  a  little 
like  bad  ts ate.  Mrs.  Sterne's  *' fatal  fecundity  "  seems 
scarcrly  to  de*erve  or  to  require  tbe  atteation  which 
Mr.  TrNill  devolet  to  it.  IJis  view  nf  Sterne,  bowerer^ 
ts  a  sane  and  reasonable  one,  and  nicely  hung  between 
partiranihip  and  diflike,or  (ibalt  wo  lay  t)  tetw««.%  IS'w-ec

BISUOP  BURXET'S   CIVIL  WAR  COLLECTIONS. 

A  few  years  ago  I  purchased  from  a  friend  a 
MS.  volume,  a  notice  of  which  will  probubly  in- 
terest  some  of  your  readers.  It  is  a  »mall  quarto 
volume,  in  the  orif;inaI  parchment  corers,  contuin- 
in^  one  hundred  and  eighty-three  leaves,  closely 
yet  very  plainly  written  on  one  side  only..  The 
handwriting  ib  that  of  tbe  end  of  tbe  aeventecuth 
century  or  het^tnning  of  the  ei^'bteenlb,  and  the 
contents  consist  of  lett«ra,  reports,  and  other 
documents  copied  from  the  State  Papers  and 
telating  to  the  Civil  War.  These  documents 
extend  from  Oct.  3,  1C45,  to  Jan.  5,  1645;6,  a 
period  of  three  months.  On  the  inside  of  the 
cover  is  the  well-known  book-plate  of  **  Gilbert 
Burnet,  Lord  lii»(hop  of  Salisbury,  Chanoellor  of 
the  mo5l  Noble  Order  of  tbe  Garter,"  and  above 
the  book-plate  ia  written  in  ink  "V.  20,*'  which  I 
take  to  mean  vol.  xx.  If  each  volume  contained 
transcripts  of  the  State  Papers  for  three  months 
only,  the  series  would  commence  about.  1G40,  und 
no  doubt  it  would  be  continued  to  1C48,  or  per- 
haps later.  If  these  surmises  are  correct,  tbe 
whole  series  of  MSS.  must  have  extended  to  quite 
thirty-two  volumes,  if  not  more,  and  from  tbi>  set 
this  odd  volume,  vol.  xx.,  has  become  detached. 
It  would  be  very  interesting  to  know  if  any  other 
volumes  of  the  series  are  known  to  be  preserved 
anywhere,  and  it  is  partly  with  that  objvcc  that  I 
send  you  this  note.  Judging  from  this  oue  volume, 
the  whole  aeries,  if  it  could  be  found,  would  be  of 
singular  value  and  interest,  and  to  the  future 
historian  of  the  Civil  War  it  would  be  almost 
priceless.  This  volume  alone  contains  about  one 
hundred  and  fifty  documents,  transcripts  of  Stato 
Papers,  &c.,  of  the  most  varied  interest,  as 
will  appear  from  the  following  list  of  the  first 
twenty  ; —

To  meiny  of  the  above  is  added  wh:it  I  take  i/i 
be  the  reference  to  the  volume  of  State  Papera 
from  which  they  were  transcribed,  such  na  vol.  iv, 
No,  liU,  vol.  \Y.  No.  163,  voL  iv.  No.  106,  nnd  bo 
on.  In  tt  later  hand  is  added  to  many  of  the 
documents,  "  Printed  Pari.  Uui.f  vol.  xiv.  p.  78," 
&c.  In  the  above  list  un  uousual  proporUoD  of 
the  documents  have  been  bo  printed,  but  on  the 
whole  not  about  u  quarter  or  a  third  have  ao 
appeared.  This  reference  relates  to  the  well- 
known  Parliamentai'y  or  Constitutional  ITutory 
of  England  from  tlu  Earliest  Times  to  the  Restora- 
tion of  Kiixg  Charles  II.,  of  which  the  aecnnd 
edition,  in  twenty-four  volumea,  appeared  in  17G'2. 
I  have  compared  many  of  the  printed  papers  with 
the  transcripts  in  this  volutue.and  aaarulc  they  are 
the  same,  a  word  or  two  or  a  name  sometimes 
varying  a  little. 

With  regard  to  the  history  of  this  odd  volarae, 
I  can  only  supply  the  following  particulare,  I 
parchiised  it  in  L87{>  from  a  friend,  and  it  came  to 
bim  from  u  dealer  in  curiosities  in  Liverpool,  who 
had  written  in  it  in  pencil,  "This  MS.  formerly 
belonged  to  the  Kev.  Archdeacon  Strong,  after- 
wards it  came  into  the  possession  of  Archdeacon 
Kin^,  and  was  sold  by  his  widow  to  a  Dublin 
bookseller/'  I  Ascertained  from  him  that  (be 
Dime  of  the  Dublin  bookseller  was  Mr.  Palrick 
Tniyner,  Essex  Quay,  Dublin ;  but  althou|;h  1 
wrote  twice  to  Mr.  Trayner  on  the  Hubject,  in 
neither  case  did  I  get  any  reply.  The  letters 
were  not  returned  to  me,  nnd  so  must,  I  presume, 
have  reaL'hcd  their  destination.  The  Archdeacon 
Strong  above  referred  to  was  probably  the  Wn. 
Charles  Strong,  Archdeacon  of  Glendalougb,  who 
was  living  in  1851.  If  any  of  your  readers  can 
eucceed  in  discovering  where  the  remaining 
volunjcs  of  this  most  interesting  colttictton  of 
Civil  War  documents  are  now  preserved,  1  would 
either  be  willing  to  purchase  them  at  a  reatonnhle 
price,  if  they  were  for  eale,  or  I  would  le&  thia 


vol.  XX.,  now  in  my  possession,  be  n-^ded  to  them, 
so  as  to  complete  the  set  if  it  shmihl  hnppen  to 
be  the  only  one  misainf:,  especially  if  the  whole 
series  could  be  secured,  as  it  certainly  ought  to  be^ 
for  some  public  institution  or  library. 

The  following  letters,  which  occur  one  after  the 
other,  and  have  never,  eo  far  :is  I  know,  been 
printed  before,  wiU  f^how  the  inierestiii;^  character 
of  the  documrnts  contained  in  this  volume.  If  it 
should  be  thought  that  a  full  Kst  of  its  conCentif 
sbouM  be  printed,  I  shall  be  ghid  to  send  it  yo\i: —

even  so  imall  h  matter  !i$  thi«,  that  in  iho  Dei;;h- 
boarhood  of  Harrogate  the  following  customs 
were  observed  at  Chrifttma?,  1B82.  Three  pitrlies

fourth  and  tifth  series.  At  least  a  dozen  partiei? 
of  "waits,"  mole  nnd  feniate,  sang  hymns  outside 
the  house  on  sevend  nights.  In  the  house  itself 
we  bad  a  yale-Iog,  duly  placed  on  the  fire  by  the 
head  of  the  family  ;  we  had  yule-cakes  ;  we  had 
yule-candles,  a  gigantic  pair,  one  red,  one  blue, 
presented  by  our  ututched  grocer — for  yule-candles 
must  be  yu'«n,  and  not  bought ;  we  had  holly,  of 
course  ;  and  we  had  frumUtf.  But  the  attached 
grocer,  I  believe,  renmrlted  sadly  that  frunicly  is 
going  out,  nnd  that  few  now  ti*k  for  cree'U  wheat 
to  make  it  with.  And,  nhis  !  the  women  of  the

remarks  that  the  original  is  probably  lost,  if  it  u

by  Mr.  S.  L.  Lee  in  the  following  nnuiber  of

The  Johnson  Lines  in  Golubuith's  Poems. 
—  In  a  forthcoming  new  edition  of  the  worka  nf 
Goldcmith  I  have  the  following  note  concerning 
the  lines  said  to  hare  been  contributed  to  the 
Tnir'ilUr  and  DucrUd  ViVaqc  by  Dr.  Johnoon  ;— 
These  statements  (of  Johnsou'd  authorship  of 
the  lincH  in  quefltion)  rest  solely  npon  th& 
authority  of  Eoswell's  Johmon^  where,  vol.  ii. 
p.  309  (BnhD*8  ten-voIuDte  edition),  Boswell  Bays 
that  "he  [Johnson]  marked"  the  nine  lines  of  tho 
Travelitr^  aud  "added,  *  These  arc  all  of  which  I 
can  bo  sure"*;  and  again,  "  Dr.  Johnson  at  the 
same  time  favoured  me  by  marking  the  lines 
which  he  furnished  to  fioldsmith's  DaerUd  Vil- 
lage which  are  only  the  U8t  four,"  All  the  edi- 
tions of  both  poems  up  to  the  time  that  Boswell 
wrote,  which,  of  course,  was  subsequent  to  the 
death  of  both  Goldsmith  and  Johnson,  are  with- 
out any  indication  of  this  alleged  contribntion  of 
lines  by  Johnson  ;  and,  what  i«j,  perhnp?,  more 
remarkable,  even  iifter  Boswell  hjid  by  the  above 
statements  claimed  Ihe^e  lines  for  Johnson,  Bishop 
Percy,  the  friend,  literary  executor,  and  bio- 
t'rapber  of  Goldsmith,  in  hia  edition  of  the  poet^a 
works  first  published  in  ISOl,  niiikes  no  mention 
of  any  such  contribution  by  Johnnon.  To  this  £ 
may  add  that  it  need  not  be  aisumed  that  Bos- 
well has  stilted  auythin^  more  than  wbut  he  be- 
lieved to  be  true  ;  still  less  need  it  be  assumed 
that  Johnson  stated  anythinc;  which  was  not  true  ; 
but  I  think  oa  the  caae  stands  it  may  he  at  least 
admitted  that  Boswell  may  have  mode  aowa 
miatake.    The  asoripliilMyfcfcKCM^  x\^^ik  qV

MtM  Reynold^j  for  iii&tAnc«,  states  in  reference  to 
thia  naaio  poem,  the  TtawlUr  (**  Recollections," 
published  in  the  JohnBoniana  tit  the  end  of  Eohn's 
edition  of  Boswell's  Lif(),  that  *'  Dr.  Johnson  told 
tier  that  ht>  had  written  "  the  ten  lines  descriptive 
of  the  KDglisbmnii,  commenciDjf,  "Stern  o'er  each 
bosom."  Nobodv,  I  suppose,  believes  this  ;  and 
^et  DO  doubt  the  ludy  wuf),  generally  speaking,  as 
rorthy  of  belief  as  Boswell.  The  explanation,  of 
irse,  is  thnt  she  was  iiiisUiken.  Again,  John- 
son himself  relates  that  Chiiinier  went  away  with 
the  belief  that  he  (Johnson)  bud  written  the  first 
iine  of  the  Traveller,  because  he  in  converaation 
interpreted  GoIdsuiiLh's  nieaniii^  as  to  the  word 
9I0W  eeeuiinfjly  better  than  Gold»milb  did  himself 
{vitU  Conwell's  J'lhnson,  vol.  ii.  p.  85).  I  should 
be  Klad  if  any  further  light  could  be  thrown  upon 
this  matter  ;  hut,  so  fur,  it  seems  to  me  th()  ubtive- 
stated  fuctx  point  to  at  least  a  doubt  as  to  whether 
the  nine  line«  in  the  Tuivdhr  and  four  lines  in 
the  IhitrUd  ViUatje  usually  marked  as  Johnnon's 
were  really  written  by  biml  J.  W.  M.  G.

The  subjoined  particulars  may  serve,  in  some

in  the  collection  of  coins,  paintinji",  and  other

Sir  Thomas,  tho  whole  passed  by  purchase  to 
Aldcrmann  Thore^by,  of  Leeds,  father  of  the  bis- 
loriun  of  thiit  town.  The  lettering  of  Vertue 
Kttacbed  to  the  cross  states  that  the  painting  was 
then  iu  the  hands  of  Dr.  Kichard  Kawlinson, 
K.S.A.,  who  also  possessed  "a  frsgmcnt  in  MS. 
which  had  al.-'o  l>eli>nged  to  the  aldemiau,"  an-1 
which  describes  the  crout  and  the  damage  iidlictrd 
on  it  by  the  ICjirl  of  Manchester's  army  in  l(i44  ; 
but  it  would  fieem  that  the  painting  was  made 
anteriorly  to  ihifrdefucement,  caused  by  reniovjd  of 
the  four  corner  croaf-es  at  the  top,  and  which  were, 
in  1678,  repinced  by  "  four  dials,  ball  ftD<l  frtoe," 
The  figures  at  thebaic  of  the  cross  iu  the  engraving 
have  no  exi-stencc  in  the  painting.  Dr.  Hawlin-

taken  down  by  a  local  nrchilect,  who  was  to  "re- 
build the  same  nl  Hob  CroRi  Hill,"  a  slight

was  too  little  antiquarian  tasle  to  check  the  pro-

THE  HEIRSHIP  OF  THE  PERCIK8:   EARLS 

OF  NORTHUMBERLAND. 

(6"»  S.  T.  343,  431.) 

At  the  second  of  these  references  Mr.  RotJNi 

claims  on  behalf  of  the  present  Duke  of  Athole  tha 

he  is  Che  "  toU  heir  general "  of  the  "  great  house  o

Joficeline  d*?  Louviiine  and  Agces,  the  sieter 
and  heiress  of  Williauj^  third  and  last  baron 
of  the  original  stock  of  the  Percies.  It  is  clear, 
therefore,  that  Ma.  RorND  is  unaware  of  the 
circumatance  that  Tbomivs,  seventh  Et\rl  of 
Northumberland,  left  four  dauchtera  and  co- 
heiressen,  from  two  of  whom  there  are  several 
descendanta  and  repreeeotativea  now  liviDg.  The 
position  of  Thomas,  Karl  of  Northamberlund,  was 
rather  sii)p;ular.  He  was  the  nephew  and  heir  of 
Heniy,  sixth  earl  (who  was  attainted  in  1037),  and 
wa»,  ID  the  words  of  Sir  N.  Harris  Nicolas, "  created 
Baron  Percy  with  remiiioder,  failing  his  issue  male, 
to  his  brother  Henry  and  bis  issue  male  April  30, 
1557,"  nod  "  in  cousidenitioD  that  his  nncestors 
*&b  antiquo  de  tempore  in  tempus,'  bad  been 
cfirls  of  Northumberland  he  was  created,  May  1, 
1557,  Earl  of  Northumberland  to  him  and  the 
heira  male  of  his  body,  in  default  of  which  to  his 
brother  Henry  Percy  and  the  heirs  male  of  his 
body,  with  nn  especial  clause  ^rranting  the  ancient 
jtlace  of  the  earldom  as  it  bad  been  held  by  bis 
ancestors "  (Courthope-Nicolaa,  Hutoric  Peeroye, 
p.  360).  He  was  attainted  in  1571  and  beheaded 
in  157'2,  when,  according  to  the  limitation  above 
nomod,  bis  peerages  devolved  on  his  brother  Henry 
Feroy,  who  succeeded  as  eighth  carl,  and  was  the 
sreat-gmadfatherofJoficeUne,  eleventh  and lastearl. 
**The  seventh  earl  of  Northumberland,"  says  Dr. 
Burtces,  "  had  by  his  wife,  the  Lady  Anne  Komer- 
•et,  daughter  of  the  second  earl  of  Worcester,  a  son 
who  died  in  early  life,  ami  four  daughters,  the

Dr.  Surtees  further  explains  that  some  writers 
following  Urooke  have  stated  that  there  w;is 
tu>olber  ditu^bter  ALiry,  older  ilian  the  one  here

pBrcy  family,  and  found  that  there  were  not  two 
MuTiift.  It  U  »«n^.';iefltc.i  by  Dr.  Surtees  that  the 
ni«Ht»k«  limy  liavtt  ani^eii  frtirii  lite  fuct  that  Str 
Tfaouuu  Grey  of  Werk  actually  married  a  daughter 


of  the  Earl  of  Westmoreland,  who  was  involved  ia 
the  same  rebellion,  and  was  attainted  at  the  same 
time,  as  the  Earl  of  Northumberlund.  Be  this  as 
it  may,  however,  it  is  &t  all  events  certain  that 
among  the  desceadanta  of  the  daugbtera  of  Thomas, 
Earl  of  Northamberland  the  heirship  of  thePerciei 
is  distributed,  and  that,  save  for  the  attainders  of 
the  sixth  and  seventh  earls,  among  them  would  be 
in  abeyance,  as  Dr.  Surtees  observes, 
"tb'Q  anoiont  barony  by  writ  of  Percy  with  the  other 
baroaica  in  fee  of  the  fumily,  and  probably  the  older 
earldom  of  Nortbumberliuid  also,  as  it  ti  ttbtrd  by  Bonks

side bos  been  ruthlessly  rebuilt,  without  rhyme  or 
reason^  as  welt  us  the  iotereaiing  part  of  the  west

de<ttroyed.  I  remember  tho  old  porch  nnd  its 
chamber  with  the  truceried  roof  underneath  from 
my  boyhood.  1  cun  scarcely  believe  that  my  old

(ionntiy) ;  no  the  Britonn  ^\erd  a  clothed  peoiilc* 
nppMrcnlly  from  the  enrlieM  times.  This  eutnu- 
mtuttc  Celt  defines  ihrep  ritcfH:  — 

1.  Neobthic,  non  Celtir,  called  iTominn*,  and 
subHtiintiully  primitive  LuBqiies  ;  uucIolb«d,  nve

At  p.  2C>8  it  isclenrly  deHned  that  lbe«e  Brytbons 
represent  the  third  liiyer  of  pnpnhilion,  hetn^  cloth

but  at  p.  213  we  find  ihut  these  Neotiths  have 
been  already  Bupersedcd  by  GoidcU  at  the  date  of 
the  later  inviiJiiou,  so  on  this  Gijidelic  population 
is  superimposed  the  third  hiyer  of  Bryiboas;  hut 
if  the  GoideU  were  ulrewly  cloth  clad  ibey  would 
nUo  be  Brytbons,  so  how  could  the  distinction  of 
name  arise  ]  If  the  distinction  of  name  ia  sound 
it  follows  .that  tbe  Goidelio  Celts  were  still  UD-

the  author's  conclusion  ia  that  the  Picts  were  largely 
non-Cekic,  i.e.,  Iherinns,  and  that  tbe  language 
is  irrecoverahle;  but  he  jjathera  from  Bedii  and 
others  that  the  words  quoted  were  only  adopted 
by  Picta,  and  not  of  Picti^h  origin.  Pict,  be 
further  states,  means  painted.  i.  £,,  tjutnoed,  nnd  he 
thinks  that  nil  three  races  did  tnltoo  at  one  time, 
eren  the  cloth-clad  Brytbons;  eu  the  true  Picta 
are  of  nil  three  nationalities.  Picti»h.  then,  should 
becidled  Iherian,  fnr,  wheie  non-lberjitn,  it  would 
be  Goidelic  or  Brythonic.  It  »e«ntH  to  m«  thai 
the  whole  theory  collapses  at  p.  270,  where  it  is 
assumed  that  the  pre-Koman  Brythnnic  wns  p\ icily 
the  same  na  the  Koinnni/<^d  (J'yHirio  of  Wales.

on  reference  to  Jamie^on  under  "Coomb,"  and 
there  i«,  I  lliink,  other  evidence  of  a  double  sense, 
the  reiuon  being,  or  it  seeniv,  that  ihc  ideas  are 
roirelfttive.  Bui  whether  the  primftry  meaning  be 
that  of  hitth  or  low,  the  antilbeais  which  I  pointed 
out  still  reruuius.  The  frequent  recurrence  of  the 
word  ID  nniues  of  phicea  in  what  niny  be  called  the 
raoat  Celtic  parts  of  Kn^land  may  be  due  to  the 
fact  that  there  the  occasion  for  its  use  ia  mostly  to 
be  found.  I  imi,  however,  ulud  of  the  opportunity 
of  modifvinv:  what  I  staled  so  far  as  to  say  that 
rhe  word  may  huve  Wen  common  to  the  Celtic  and 
Teutonic  lan^unges.  It  is  certainly  found  in  all 
the  latter  as  lueaniiif;  a  hei^fht.  and  were  it  foreign 
to  the  former  it  nmy  be  observed  that  it  is  not 
unnitDal  that  peoples  and  places  should  be  called  by 
n&mes  given  them  from  withont,  as  witness  the 
Crreeks  and,  it  ia  said.  /Ktna  (fire),  so  called  by 
Pbwnicinn  niwicators,  The  full  word  Ctfrnryoccun 
ia  aubnluiice  iu  the  iMauds  of  Cumbrae.a  fact  which, 
in  my  opinion,  telU  against  its  being  composite. 
If  it  meitni  f^llow>i.  hnw,  it  may  be  asked,  was  its 
iif^e  restricted  to  hi^hlamls  and  absent  from  other 
Welsh  territory  /  1  may  add  that  tho  question 
whether  it  be  connected  with  the  Cimbri  und  the 
OimbricChenioDPite  h:u  often  been  asked,  and  I  urn 
inclined  to  think  that  there  may  be  such  a  con- 
nexion, in  ibe  sense  of  a  land  stretching;  out  into 
the  sea.  In  any  coab  I  am  fi^Ud  that  Lloegr  is 
re{^rded  as  Aryan,  and  the  illuatratii-e  instances 
given  cf  the  use  of  covib  are  a  valuable  contribu- 
tioo  towards  the  study  of  the  word.    J.  Parkt. 

With  reference  to  the  derivation  of  Cymrp,  it 
may  be  nsefui  lo  have  a  confirmation  of  the  fact 
that  c*rmbf  means  n  v(il!cy,  nnd  not  a  hill.  Combe  ia 
the  u»ual  word  for  u  Inlcrul  valley  in  the  high 
mounUuos  of  Dauphim^  iu  $ou(h-Eut  France,  and 
abo  occurs  in  certain  parts  of  Switzerland  (e.17,, 
Combe  d'AroJln],  and,  ]  am  informed,  in  the 
EnKlr«h  Lake  district  and  the  I>Ie  of  Wight.  In 
Daiiphiiie  I  have  always  faken  it  to  be  a  Celtic 
word  of  which  cmn  is  the  Welsh  form.

not  need  to  go  so  far  as  tiindostan  to  see  the 
picturesque  distatf  in  use.  It  still  survives  over 
the  whole  of  Southern  Europe.  Within  the  last 
fifteen  years  thrifty  women  miyht  be  seen  twirling 
thread  from  it,  as  they  n^iked  their  children  or 
merely  walked  along  the  way,  in  every  street  in 
Knmc.  When  I  was  eollecting  The  Folklore  of 
Jiofiic,  one  of  my  contributors  twirled  na  she 
narrated.  Even  within  a  year  I  have  seen  it  ia 
use  on  the  Aventine  and  in  Trastevere,  and  ia 
country  pjirU  they  twirl  as  they  mind  the  sheep 
and  cattle.  It  is,  however,  adopted  always  for 
linen  thread  in  It^ily,  and  not  for  cotton,  except 
maybe  somewhere  south  of  Kaples,  where  cotton 
grows. 

There  is  one  important  incident  of  the  process 
omitted  from  the  minute  account  quoted  from 
Hone's  Year  Book.  To  stick  the  hairy  (ihres  together 
in  their  place  and  keep  a  continuous  strand  the 
operator  iu  ohlijied  to  be  constantly  moistening 
her  tinters  at  her  lips  as  t-he  twirls, "leading  to  a

Hair  Tunxiifo  simDENLT  White  (6*''  .S.  vi. 
86,  134,  321)).— I  do  not  think  that  the  instance 
cited  uL  the  first  referenco  of  Marie  Antoinette's 
hair  having  turued  white  in  a  single  nighi  can  be 
adduced  us  a  ca:ie  in  point.  It  is  a  well-known 
fact  that  her  hair  was  origtDolly  light  coloured, 
and  her  complexion  fair,  but  as  for  a  number  of 
years  before  ber  death  it  bod  been  saturated  with 
powder  and  pomatum,  it  most  have  changed  its 
original  colour  considerably.  There  is  a  fine  folio 
eograving  of  ber  in  existeooe  representing  a  hand- 
some womnn  in  the  prime  of  life,  full  lengthy 
wearing  a  '*hoop  of  monstroua  size,"  having  her 
hair  riused  to  a  great  height  by  meuna  of  a  cushion 
iinderneiith.  In  Tbiers's  Hiiionj  of  the  French 
Revolution,  translated  by  Frederic  Shobcrl,  rul.  i, 
facing  p.  84,  is  a  portrait  of  ber,  giving  the  bust 
of  a  beautiful  woman  apparently  thirty*fivc  years 
of  age.  In  this  the  hair  is  merely  turned  back 
from  tbe  forehead,  is  decked  with  penrls,  and 
powdered.  Madame  Le  Bran,  who  painted  tbo 
picturo  of  Mario  Antoinette  in  1779,  says  that 
"the  moat  remarkable  thing  about  ber  face  was 
the  brUliancy  of  her  complexion."  This  was  at  Iba 
age  of  twenty-four.  John  Pickkord,  M.A. 
Newboume  Rectory,  Woodbridge, 

As  Mr.  Morlej  has  mentioned  tbe  circum- 
stance in  his  Lif4  of  Cobdtn,  there  will  be  no 
JiDpropriety  in  recording  a  remarkable  instance  of 
this  phenomenon.  When  Mr.  Cobden's  much- 
loved  boy  died  in  1S56,  it  ia  well  known  bow 
deeply  bis  mother  felt  her  loss  ;  and  Mr.  Motley 
says  (vol.  li.  p.  IBl),  *'  Her  hair  blanched  with  tbe 
hours."  EiiWARD  U.  Marshall,  M.A. 

Salvin  and  Erodrick  (Falconry  in  Ou  BtiiUk 
lilts)  say,  in  speaking  of  young  pereprine-i,  "  The 
colour  of  tbe  cere  and  eyelids  is  at  fimt  blue, 
which  generally  changes  bv  degrees  to  a  yellow 
tint,  and  by  the  end  of  the  first  year  bccoraea 
bright  yellow."  Then  they  add  n  foot-note,  "  We-; 
knew  uu  instance  of  it  changing  to  yellow  in  on 
night."  ALrtiotTSX  KaTocLST. 

St.  Jony  the  Evavohlist,  Watlino  Strei 
(e"*  S.  vi.  iri8,  333).— This  church  was  tbe  only 
one  in  the  City  of  London  dedicated  to  St.  John 
the  Evangelist.  St.  John's  in  Walbrook  and  St. 
John's  in  Maiden  liane,  AlderFgate,  were  ded:f?ated 
to  St.  John  the  Bnptist  ;  the  latter  being  known 
at  the  church  of  St.  John  Zachary  (v  ?,,  the  «on  of 
Zacharias).  All  three  churches  were  burnt  in 
1666,  and  were  not  rebuilt.  W,  R.  Tate.

any  detailed  account  of  hia  laVours  in  these  cotuinnts 
would  be  imposaibtc ;  !ind  mo  can  only  touch  upon  the 
treatment  of  two  of  tho  riddltrs  of  Swift's  career,  bis 
vertigo  and  liis  alleged  marringe.  With  regard  to  the 
former,  Mr.  Craik,  like  Mr.  Leslie  Stephen,  adopts  the 
entirely  AtiBfactory  theory  enunciated  by  Pr.  Itiicknill 
in  /lituii  for  January,  lh82,  vis.,  that  tiwift's  lifclfnig 
afHiccibii  n&a  due  not  to  growing  insunity,  but  to  n  par- 
ticular diMia^e  in  (ho  r^'gi^n  of  the  ear,  to  wbich  moilern 
medical  science  Kives  the  name  of  Latj/rintkint  vtTh'tfo, 
With  the  npproacb  of  uld  at:e  this  produced  parulysis, 
and  to  parwlyiii  Huccofd^d  the  dementia  which  chmiic- 
teriied  Switt's  lutter  days.  As  to  tbe  alleu;ed  marringe 
«Uh  Stella,  3[r.  Craik  Igldi  that  it  took  place— indeed, 


assumes  it  to  have  done  pn.  and  argues  thcrofron.  Tut 
WB  doubt  whether  even  bis  careful  array  of  argunientH 
will  carry  conticlion  to  thoeo  whose  eympatbiea  inclino 
to  the  other  side  of  tbe  dUputed  i)nestion.  With  theat 
what  the  two  persons  m^.-st  concerned  said  will  always 
have  more  weight  tban  ADytliing  said  by  others  on  bcrr- 
B»y  or  otherwise.  8»vift  writt-e  to  tftella  in  1720,  for 
instance,  four  years  after  tbe  supposed  marriage  :— 
*MVilh  friendihip  and  esteem  pnuest 
I  ne'er  admitted  Lofe  n  {"ueBt," — 
a  most  wanton  and  needless  ciiupli>t  to  address  to  one 
who  was  secretly  his  wife  ;  «t)d  of  whom,  moreover,  in  a 
sketch  of  her  character  written  immediately  after  her 
death,  for  no  eye  but  bis  own,  he  uses  uo  word  to  suggest 
that  roltttiunsbip.  Then  8ielU  auain.  in  her  will,  dated 
I7".l7,beiiueatliing**  her  soul  to  the  infinite  mercy  of  Ood," 
does  nut  scruple  (according  ta  the  marriage  theorif>is) 
to  lylngly  declare  hereelf  •*  a  apiiiRtor."  If  to  this  it  be 
Hdded  tliat  Kebecca  Dingley,  who  knew  both  Swift  anil 
Esther  JuUufon  and  did  not  spcnk  on  hearsay,  lauj^hed 
lit  the  idea  of  any  concealed  nniim,  it  would  seem  iliac 
nothing  short  of  a  mountain  of  proof  could  establish  the 
reverae.

Tiiird  Edition.  (Oxford,  Clarendon  Press.) 
TiiK  fiist  edition  of  this  important  work  was  issued  in 
1S4I;  it  was  quickly  followed  by  a  second  in  ]S4€. 
beautifully  printed  by  Fickvring.  The  third  edition, 
lHt4^1y  iwued,  like  its  predece^ion,  leaves  nothing  to  bo 
desired  in  the  ^^ay  of  paper  or  of  press  work  ;  is.  peH  aps, 
even  superior  in  some  retjHcts,  ax  tbe  notes  are  printed 
in  a  much  larger  type.  l).iring  the  intervHl  which  baa 
<-lapseJ  between  the  second  and  the  third  oditiuns  the 
author  bns  become  a  Roman  Catholio,  and  the  eifrcts 
of  his  change  of  religion  are  observable  throughout  ihe 
work.  Comparing  the  later  editions,  it  will  he  seen  that 
chapters  v.,  ri.,  and  vii.,  ari>l  jirent  part  of  chtiptcr  viii. 
of  ihe  Introduction  to  the  second  edition  find  no  place 
in  the  third;  whilst  erery  passage  which  could  be  taken 
as  censurini:  modern  Honian  usage  has  been  carefully 
removed.  Tbis  will  t>e  considered  an  advantage  or  a 
difadvautage  us  the  render  may  be  a  member  of  the 
Anglican  or  of  the  Roman  communion.  Dut  there  can 
bo  no  doubt  that  the  ^alue  of  the  work  has  been  very 
greatly  augmented  by  the  minute  and  careful  revision  to 
which  the  noice  have  been  subjected  throughout  A 
large  mass  of  new  und  important  mutter  has  bc-en  added.

niQfft  interesting  addition*.  At  p.  23  ii  a  reference  to  it

during  tho  Introit  nf  th«*  Moss;  at  p.  £0  the  custom 
of  sitting  to  hear  the  Epislle  read  is  shown  tn  be  very- 
ancient  by  an  extract  from  a  writing  of  Abbot  Rupert  in

This  is  tbe  third  volume  of  a  mort  u«eful  seriea.  York-

■ome  p>irt"  thereof  have  been  itlustrat»^d  in  a  manner 
Ijeyond  our  praise,  iiome  time  we  may  hope  that  the 
wKoleoftfae  f-hire  will  be  described  and  bare  its  early 
history  unrMlleJ.  fo  that  any  intelligent  person  who  is  not 
an  antiqitary  mav  be  p'it  in  such  a  p  siti*>n  that  lie  mxy 
h*:  able  with'  bu:  Iiitte  trouble  tn  find  out  what  he  requires 
concerriing  the  more  remarkable  erents  that  hare  aOected 
his  own  particular  ncigbbourbood.  Olf  Vw  hhirt  is  doing 
Tery  cood  work  in  this  direction.  The  papers  therein 
are  of  various  degrees  of  Talu^.  ti^me  might  be  picked 
r>ut  which  do  r.ot  seem  worthy  of  their  surroundingy. 
These  are  but  few.  The  greater  part  of  tbe  volume 
ehAws  serious  work*  and  a  knowIedt:e  of  the  lines  on 
which  Ii.cal  history  ought  to  be  constructed.  We  would 
draw  sf*ecial  attention  to  tbe  li»t  (continued  from  a 
former  T-')!u;iiej  of  the  papers  relating  t<^  Yorkshire  in  the 
Arc^i^'tU'-j-.n.  That  work  is  a  mine  of  local  informati>m, 
but  comp*!ete  Kts  are  to  be  foimd  in  very  few  privnte 
libr.irie-.  and  the  informntiin  c  mtainei  therein  is  oi'ccn 
unknown  to  those  to  whom  it  would  be  of  tlio  mo$t 
value.  Tbe  biogniphies  of  Y'orkshire  worthier  whifh 
arc  scatterel  through  the  volume  will  be  f^mnd  most 
u*eful.  We  meet  with  some  old  frienils  there  whi>ee 
nhmea  have  not  g>t  into  bio^nphical  dicti>marie«,  but 
whrj  did  more  for  their  fellow  crciitures  than  some  of 
those  who  hare  been  honoured  by  much  posthumous 
laudatiim.  The  illustrations  are  cf  various  deiirccs  of 
merit,  but.  taken  aa  a  whole,  they  are  tbe  nenkr.-st  part 
of  the  bor-k.  Do  the  editors  think  that  the  portrait  of 
John  Harrison  or  tbe  view  of  Waltnii  Hall  can  Rive 
pleasure  to  any  or.e  ?  Scott's  Marmi'm  is  misquoted  on 
p.  14.  It  Mems  to  be  a  lefson  very  imperfectly  Icarut  by 
the  great  nmjority  cf  the  writiii'g  public  that  extracts 
sliould  always  be  verified.

tbe  peerage  and  the  baronetage  of  England,  Oraat 
Britain,  and  tbe  United  Kingdom,  Moreover,  the 
post  history  and  the  present  state  of  families  and 
titles  were  the  subjects  of  dilTerent  orders  of  books, 
and  were  treated  of  by  diflferent  orders  of  writers, 
ft  ifl  true  that  the  former  always  brought  their 
information  down  to  the  time  of  publication,  and 
that  the  latter  frequently  gave  soma  leading  parti- 
culars  of  the  pedigrees  of  tbe  persons  whose  exist- 
ing names  and  distinctions,  with  their  recent  births 
and  marriages,  it  was  their  business  to  record.  But 
while  tbe  main  purpose  of  the  first  was  to  supply 
works  of  permanent  utility  and  value,  the  main 
purpose  of  the  seoond  was  to  furnish  the  public 
with  books  for  every-day  and  immediate  ooDsnlta- 
tioD.  The  one  embodied  the  resalts  of  the  patient 
labours  of  professed  genealogists  and  antiquaries^ 
when  not  in  ponderous,  then  in  numerous,  and 
invariably  in  costly,  tomes.  The  others,  compiled 
for  the  most  part  under  the  patronage  of  some 
enterprising  bookseller,  were  issued  in  a  convenient 
shape  and  sold  at  a  moderate  pricCi  but  aspired  to 
little  more  literary  dignity  than  a  court  ^uide 
or  a  Blue-book  in  the  present  day.  Dugdale's 
BarotmgAj  published  in  three  volumes  folio— the 
second  and  third  in  one— in  1675  and  lOTH,  has 
never  reached  a  second  edition,  while  the  sixth  and 
final  edition  of  CoUins's  Pierage  of  England  was 
published  by  Sir  Egerton  Brydges  in  nine  octavo 
volumes  in  1812.  The  second  and  lust  edition  of 
Sir  Robert  Douglases  Petingc  of  Scotlaiid  was  pub- 
lished in  two  folio  volumes  by  Wood  in  1813;  and 
the  second  and  last  edition  of  John  Lodge's  Pttragi 
cf  Ireland  was  published  by  Archdale  in  seven 
octavo  volumes  in  17S9.  The  publication  was 
concluded  of  Collina's  Baronetage  in  five  octavo 
volumes  in  1741  and  of  Belham'a  Barontiagc  in 
five  quarto  Tolumes  in  1606.  Of  the  more 
ephemeral  class  of  compilations  which  began  to 
be  issued  about  the  commencement  of  the  eigh- 
teenth century  a  vorr  complete  collection  was 
made  by  the  late  Sir  Charles  Yoang,  Garter  King 
of  Arms,  and  of  them  with  other  books  of  an  allied 
character  he  prepared  a  catalogao  when  he  was 
York  Herald  in  l.s20.  In  that  year  Mr.  John 
Barkers  Gmculogical  and  Heraldic  Z^ictionnry  of 
the  Petnuje  and  Baronetage  of  the  United  Kingdom

wen  Id  MTerftl  respects,  there  were  good  reMona 
why  they-  could  not  come  into  Buccenful  opposi- 
tion to  Mr.  John  Barke's  Pierage  and  Baroiieta^e^ 
which  npid]y  gained  ite  way  in  pabUo  efttiauktioa 
and  coinm&Dded  aaparalleled  and  uninterrupted 
popaUrity  until  the  adreot  of  Mr.  Joaeph  Fostet's 
J'Mraytf  and  Baronetage  three  or  four  yean  ago. 
Between  these  two  pnblications  it  la  cot  our 
preMBt  intention  to  ioatitnte  a  comparison.  But 
we  tnay  say  that  neither,  in  onr  opinion,  is  likely 
to  sapersede  the  other,  and  that  the  improvementa 
which  have  annually  appeared  in  each  since  they 
hare  been  issued  tof^etber  afford  only  another 
example  of  the  advantages  of  competition  in  so  £ar 
as  the  world  at  Urge  is  concerned. 

It  is,  of  course,  oat  of  the  question  for  us  to  enter 
upon  anything  like  minute  or  detailed  criticiera  of 
e  work  of  such  dimensions  as  the  one  before  us. 
Bat  there  are  a  few  points  which  hnve  sugtcest^d 
themselres  to  ua  for  comment  in  turning;  over  the 
pages  of  the  volume,  to  which  we  think  the  atteu- 
tion  of  Sir  Bernard  Burke  ought  to  be  directed. 
The  Ulster  King  of  Arms,  for  example,  notices  in 
his  preface  the  accession  of  Sir  Beanchamp  Sey- 
moor  and  Sit  Oamet  WoUeley  to  the  peerage  as 
Lord  Alceiter  and  Lord  Wolseley,  and  takes  the 
opportunity  of  quoting  from  another  work  of  his 
own  the  remark  that  "  the  principal  existing 
titles  originating  in  military  serricea  are  Shrews- 
bury, Lindsey,  Murlborougb,  Wellington,  Boyne, 
Amherst,  Clive,  Abercroniby,  Dorchester,  Str:if< 
ford,  Anglesey,  Hill,  Combermere,  Gough,  Harris, 
Qrej,  Keane,  Seaton,  Vivian,  Raglao,  Napier  of 
MagnaU,  Strnthnaim,  and  Sandhorst";  while 
*'  the  principal  naval  peerages  now  remaining  are 
Howard  of  Effingham,  Sandwich,  Dartmouth, 
Aylmer,  Torrington,  Rodney,  Hawke,  Howe, 
Graves,  Bridport,  Camperdowu,  Hood,  Nelson, 
Hotham,  Exmontb,  St.  Vincent,  Gardner,  De 
8aamarez,*and  Lyons."  With  the  second  of  these 
oatalognes  we  do  not  see  any  ground  to  quarrel  on 
the  loore  of  incompleteness.  But  in  the  first  of 
them  it  appears  to  us  that  there  are  several 
omiasiona  which    are    scarcely  justified   by   the 

S'inoiples  of  selection  by  which  Sir  Bernard 
arke  has  evidently  been  guided.  If  Shrews- 
bar^  and  Liodaey  are  to  bo  included  among  our 
ancient  military  peerages,  why  not  Arundell  of 
Wardoar,  Leven,  and  Byron  ?  Again,  why  are 
Csdogan,  Rossmoie,  Stanhope,  Tovnsbend, 
Clahna,  Lortoo,  and  Hardinge  excluded  from 
among  the  military  peerages  of  the  last  and  the 
current  century  7  Something,  too,  might  be  said, 
we  should  imagine,  ia  favoar  of  the  inclosion  of 
Bantry  and  Craven  in  a  list  of  military  peerages, 
although  the  first  Lord  Bantry  was  not  a  aoldier 
by  profession,  and  the  present  Lord  Craven  is 
only  the  collateral  representative  (as  in  the  cases 
of  Amherst,  Hill,  NeUon,  Sl  Vincent,  and  others) 
of  the  eoldier  of  the  Thirty  Years'  War.     We  see 


that  Sir  Bernard  Burke  persists  in  describing  Lady 
Elizabeth  Percy,  the  heiress  of  Josceline,  eleventh 
Ksrl  of  Northumberland,  and  wife  of  Ch&rlei,  sixth 
Duke  of  Someraet— the  lad  v  nicknamed  *'  Carrota," 
by  Swift — as  "  Bsroness  Percy  in  her  own  right," 
notwithstanding  th«t  the  only  existing  barony 
of  Percy  in  fee  is  that  which  was  created  by  the 
writ  of  summons  of  her  son  Algernon,  seventh 
Duke  of  Somerset,  to  the  House  of  Lords  as  Baron 
Percy  after  her  death  in  17:23,  and  which  has  passed 
by  female  descent  to  thn  present  Duke  of  Athole. 
We  see,  too,  that  the  Ulster  King  of  Arms  also 
persists  in  printing  thn  wholly  irrelevant  genealogy 
of  the  old  Lyttons  of  Knebworth  in  bis  memoir  of 
I/>rd  Lytton,  and  says  nothing  of  the  Wiggetts 
and  Robinsons,  from  whom  his  lordship  is  really 
derived-  Why,  again,  does  Sir  Bemtird  Barke 
designate  Lord  Shrewsbury  the  ''Preuiier  Earl  of 
England"?  He  is  aware  that  the  Dake  of  Nor- 
folk, the  Earl  Marshal  and  chief  of  all  the  heralds, 
ia  not  only  the  premier  duke,  but,  as  Earl  of 
Arundel,  the  "premier  earl,''  for  he  so  descrtbea 
him,  and  we  presume  he  cannot  mean  to  sfHrm 
that  both  of  them  are  premier  earls  of  England. 
Lord  Carrington  ia  described  as  "  Joint  Hereditary 
Lord  Great  Chamberlain  in  right  of  his  mother, 
Augusta  Annabella,  Lftdy  Carrington,  younger  of 
the  two  sisters  and  coheirs  of  Alberic,  twentieth 
Lord  Willoughby  de  Eresby."  But  in  the  memoir 
of  Clementina  Elizabeth  Baroness  Willoughby  de 
Eresby,  the  elder  sister  and  coheir,  nothing  ia 
said  to  show  that  she  has  anything  to  do  with  the 
Hereditary  Lord  Great  Chamberlainship,  althongb 
in  the  memoir  of  her  son,  Lord  Aveland,  it  is  statBd 
that  he  is  Deputy  Lord  Great  Cbamberlaio.  One 
moiety  of  tlus  ancient  office  belongs  to  Lord 
Oholmondeley,  and  the  Willoughbys  and  CboN 
mondeleys  have  hitherto  divided  it  by  diach.irging 
its  duties  in  alternate  r«ign8.  How  is  it  to  be- 
distributed  now  that  Lord  Carrington  makes  a 
third  participator  in  its  honours  ?  We  desired  to  say 
something  about  one  or  two  other  malten  which 
arrested  oar  notice  in  looking  through  the  U, 
King  of  Arms's  elaborate  work.  But  we  have, 
hape,  said  enough  to  show  that  it  would  be  none' 
worae  for  a  little  revision,  although  it  is  only  right 
to  add  that,  all  things  considered,  Sir  Bernard 
Burke  may  be  fairly  congratulated  on  the  general 
accuracy,  as  well  as  on  the  completenan,  of 
the  vast  mass  of  facta  which  he  has  brought  to- 
gether, and  which  are  neoeisarily  accamu!

ttaiTHled  on  p.  273)  that  "  the  Barrys  of  Ireland 
are  tracemble  from  a.v.  1206,  when  Robert  Filz 

Stephen enfeoffed  hU  nephew,  Philip  de  Bariy 

of  Olealhan,  with  cerUin  lands  in  Cork"  ;  but  the 
writer  is  clearly  in  error  in  aacribing  to  the  family 
an  exclusirely  En^rliBh  origin,  and  diBclaiminf;  their 
•connexion  with  Scotland.  Nor  should  be  abandon 
to  oblivion  their  still  earlier  history.  In  point  of 
fiict — aa  the  sequel  proposes  to  abow — they  were 
immediately  of  Wtiles,  mediately  both  of  Eogtaad 
and  Scotland,  but  originally  of  Normandy,  where 
they  ar«  traceable  for  ceoturies  before  the  Coequest. 
These  Irifth  earia  were  descendants  of  Count 
Robert  of  Paris  (Scott's  hero),  a  Norman  com- 
panioQ  of  the  Conqueror,  settled  in  the  North 
Biding  of  Yorkshire,   who,    as    a   Cruaader,  was

It  is  Doticeable  that,  pursuant  to  the  unlettered 
wont  of  the  time,  the  patronymic  of  this  family 
has  already  been  tninamated  into  Parre,  Barry, 
and  Bar.  la  French  proDUDciatloa  the  i  of  the 
word  Paris  is  silent,  and  it  becomes  virtually 
P&rrL  Then  or  later  the  name  underwent  trans- 
itioQ    into    De    La    Bere,   Diparry,   Pers,   Pirie, 


killed  in  Palestine  a.d.  1005.  la  the  same  year  pyrrhuB,  Ferrers,  Pirou,  Purerius,  Farerius, 
hia  kinsman,  Gentooius  de  Pari?,  ia  mentioned 
by  Roger  of  Weodover  (ii.  p.  62)  among  the  noted 
leaders  in  the  Crusades.  They  were  a  rac«  of  war- 
riors. Nearly  a  century  later  Peter  de  Harris  was 
admiral  of  the  fleet  of  Occur  da  Lion  at  the  con- 
<iue8t  of  Cyprus  (C'AroM.  Rich.  /.,Lond.,8TO.,  it<61, 
i.  p.  205) ;  and  Willism  de  Paris  saved  the  army 
after  a  rout  in  the  Holy  Land  during  the  same 
crnaade,  thereby  reconciling  a  discord  which  bad 
arisen  between  Cceur  de  Lion  and  himself  (i6.,  i. 
p.  251). 

Unhappily  for  the  convenient  elucidation  of 
Uieir  genealogy,  not  only  were  the  four  northern 
counties  of  Kugland  excluded  from  the  Domesday 

Book,  but  the  local  ret  guta  of  that  region  were  almost 

wholly  lost  to  contemporsry  record.     Nor  without 

abundant  reason,  inaemuch  as  for  a  long  period 

after  the  Conquest  the  Scottish  frontier  was  trxily 

debatable  ground.     Vtipo$tuiitU  seemed  to  con- 

tiitnte  the  sole  basis  for  the  armed  and  fluctuating 

juriBdiction    mutually    asserted    there     by    both 

nations,      Dtike   {Ucr.  l>ic.,   Lond.,   870.,    1663, 

p.    llVa),  speaking  of  one  of  this  family,  says: 

"  They,  at  one  time  or  other,  posseesed  a  greater 

portion  of  the  North  Kiding  than  perhaps  any  other 

boasB  of  jientry  ever  located  in  the  district,"    This 

ia  itrong  language  when  we  find  Thierry  asserting 

<LoDd.,  12mo.,  l»47,  i.   p.  230)  ''that  Robert  de 

Bftis  [a  ueighbr<uriDg  contemporary]  acquired  by 

conquest   two   hundred   manors."     He  also  adds 

<ii.  p.  iOa,  and  iii.  p.  3):  "  Many  Normans  entered 

iJcollatid,wercwcllreceived,andputinplaceaofhiKh 

trust."     The  De  Pariees,  Wallaces,  and  Bruces  were 

cases  in  point*     One  of  the  hrst-meutioned  family 

<De  Barry,  or  De  Bar,  as  the  name  was  frequently 

written),  for  services  to  the  Scottish  king,  was  re- 

<}ait«d   with  the  title  of  earl  and  lands  on   the 

veatero  frontier  or  marches.     Uere  his  castle  was 

<rcot«d,  which  from  its  position  on  a  dune,  or  aeu 


«ide  hill,  was  termed  Dunebarry,  which  survives 
(o  this  day  under  the  name  of  Dunbar.  This  is 
authenticated  by  De  Boece,  who,  after  extolling 
It  aomfl  length  (p.  410)  the  glorious  exploits  of 


pArisiftcensis,  Pdrria,  Parriab,  and  Parr.  Nor 
shjuld  this  be  thought  uuubual  or  incredible, 
inasmuch  aa  Dunn,  the  old  Welsh  historian^ 
manages  to  spell  the  name  of  Stedmau  in  six 
differenC  ways  on  the  same  half  page  (Nicholas, 
IVaUs,  i.  p.  169).  Indeed,  the  Latinising,  Gallic- 
izing, Anglicizing  struggles  of  British  mediicral 
clerks  to  construct  legible  records  are  at  onoe  the 
amusement  and  the  despair  of  archieologista. 
Scarcely  a  name  in  England  extant  at  the  Con- 
quest has  survived  unscathed  this  protean  wear 
and  tear.  Well  may  Thierry  declare  (iii.  p.  3)  that 
the  bleudiDt;  of  tooguea  in  Scollsmd  became 
*' un  compOBL' bizarre  de  tudeaque  et  de  franv*i»» 
preequ'c-galemeat  mt^langua/'  But  in  this  coa- 
Dcxion  the  Silurian  cacographers  cap  the  whole. 

Hemingburgh  tells  us  (ed.  Kng.  Hist.  Soc,  ii.  p. 
35J  that "  Patrick  de  Dunbar,  Cuutede  la  Marche," 
was  chosen  (June  5, 1291)  one  of  the  arbitrators  to 
whom  Edward  L,  after  the  death  of  the  3Iaid  of 
Norway,  referred  the  contest  of  Baliol  and  Brut 
for  the  Scottish  crown.  On  p.  305  the  same 
author  makes  allusion  to  Patrick,  Karl  of  Danbar, 
A.D.  1332,  Ump.  Kdw.  III. 

The  immediate  Anglo-Normau  ancestor  of  the 
Irish  Earls  Barry  was  William  de  Paris  of  South 
Wales.ownerand  builder  of  Mteuorpyr[Manorbeer] 
Caaile,  and  father  of  the  noted  WeUh  historian 
Giraidua  Cambrensis,  who  was  born  there.  The 
original  name  of  that  castle  was  Manor  Patis—or 
Pyrrbus,  as  the  Welsh  termed  it.  A  little  isUnd  on 
the  same  estate,  sometimes  called  Caldy  Island,  was 
in  like  manner  by  the  Welsh  denominated  Ynys 
Pyrrbus  (Nicholaa,  op.  61.^  859).  A  larger  island, 
three  miles  from  the  coast  (also  appurtenant  to  the 
manor),  was  named  Parris'  or  Barrys'  Island,  which 
cognomen  it  still  retains.  This  William  de  Paris 
was  a  descendant  or  kinsman  of  the  Hobert  da 
Paris  who  was  active  in  the  conquest  of  North 
Wales,  AD.  1110,  and  who,  amongst  other  extea 
sire  possessions,  owned  the  famous  raris's  Mountain

Bobert,  Philip,  and  Sjlrester  the  historian. 
Bobert  and  Philip,  together  with  their  conaina, 
Walter,  Gerald,  and  William  de  Paris  (the  first 
two  nephews  of  Fitz  Stephen),  according  to  Harris's 
A  niiquitia  of  Dublin^  pp.  S30, 250,  were  all  leading 
spirits  in  the  conquest  of  Ireland. 

In  A.D.  1170  Bichard  de  Clare,  Barl  of  Strigul 
and  Pembroke,  initiated  the  conquest  pnnnant  to 
a  compact  with  Dermod  McMurroagh,  the  exiled 
King  of  Leinster,  who  had  been  driven  a  fugitive 
from  his  country,  a.d.  1167.  As  the  price  of  his 
reinstatement,  he  promised  De  Clare  his  daughter 
Kva  in  marriaige  and  the  inheritance  of  his  crown. 
With  the  consent  of  Henry  IL,  to  whom  Dermod 
had  done  homage,  the  attempt  waa  made  and 
acoomplished  (Knight,  i.  p.  297).  From  this  time 
theDeParris(orDe  Barzys,  as  they  were  thenceforth 
denominated)  appear  to  have  altogether  renounced 
their  home  in  Wales,  if  not  indeed  their  inheritance 
there,  for  although  Manorpyr  Castle  continued  b 
the  family  for  two  handred  and  fifty  years  later,  it 
passed  into  the  hands  of  their  maternal  relativca 
the  De  Windsores,  as  will  presently  be  shown. 
This  umy  have  been  partly  the  effect  of  Henry's 
proolnnmtion  {riVtM  1171)  ordering  the  immediate 
return  of  all  the  invaders,  on  pain  of  forfeiture  of 
their  efllates  and  perpetual  banishment  (Gir.  Cam.,

remains  (Dngdale,  Monait,  iii.  p.  723).  In  1691,

of  Teddington  Cburch,  lies  a  greater  than  ahe — 
the  Lord  Keeper,  Sir  Orlando  Bridgeman,  oooes- 
tor  of  the  modern  Earls  of  Bradford.  In  the  year 
1832  certiviu  repairs  (not "  restorations")  were  being 
made  in  the  cbancel ;  the  workmen  accident- 
ally struck  into  tbe  Bridgeman  vault,  and  a  brick 
fell  on  Sir  Orlando's  coilio-lid,  and  broke  it  partly 
open.  Dr.  Jatiies  Borland,  a  distinguished  In- 
spector  General  of  Army  Hospitals,  was  then  the 
owner  of  liridgeman  House,  and  was  church* 
warden  of  Teddingcon  parish.  He  at  once  came 
to  tbe  church,  and  seeing,  through  the  fracture, 
that  the  corpRe  h.nd  been  embalmed,  he  bad  the 
coffin-lid  reverently  taken  off,  and  sent  a  mea- 
snge  to  the  then  Lord  Bradford  (the  father  of  the 
present  carl),  whom  he  knew.  Lord  Bradford 
drove  straight  down  from  London  to  Teddtngton, 
and  looked  upon  the  face  of  his  aucestor,  who  had 
been  dead  a  hundred  and  fifty-eight  years,  and 
who  lay  there  in  his  habit  at  he  lived,  with 
painted  beard  and  Hawing  hair,  and  complexion 
us  fresh,  almost,  as  in  life.  Beside  him  lay  hia 
wife.  Dame  Dorothy  ;  but  she,  poor  thing,  was  a 
skeleton — for  she  was  only  a  second  wife,  and  she 
had  not  been  embalmed.  Then  the  coffin-lid 
was  duly  put  on'  again  and  repaired,  the  wult 
was  bricked  up,  and  I  think  it  has  not  been 
since  disturbed.

Pope's  Momujirht  to  ht3  Parents.— Tbe 
colutDDS  of  "  N.  k  Q."  are,  I  think,  a  proper  place 
for  bringing  to  public  notice  a  fact  which  will 
shock  those  who  take  interest  in  the  memorials  of 
Ibedead.  The  moDument  which  Pope  placed  on 
the  walls  of  Twickenham  Church  to  the  oicmory 
of  hii  parents  is  now  almost  entirely  concenled  by 
the  recent  attenilioaa  iu  the  organ.  A  very  simple 
remedy  would  be  to  remove  the  monument  to 
some  other  part  of  the  church.  As  there  is  do- 
thinff  in  tbe  iniocription  which  indicates  either  the 
position  of  tbe  monument  or  of  the  remains  of 
those  to  whom  it  is  erected,  this  mi^iht  certainly 
be  carried  out.  The  present  churchwArden,  Mr. 
Powell,  whose  fath«>r  held  tbe  same  office  when 
the  vaults  under  the  church  were  tinally  fastened 
Qp,  about  tweniy  years  ago,  informs  me  that  tbe

H   The  Fbstital  of  thr  Pope's  CnAJB  (Jan.  16). 
^^_ Various  miracles  are  recorded  of  St.  Peter  at 
I    Borne,  and  the  ;ictual  chair  on  which  his  successors 
F     nt  was   formerly   exhibited.      Of  course   it  was 
I     boly«  and  on  Jan.   16  a  festival  was  held  in  its 
honour,  when  it  was  etpoaed  to  the  adoration  of 
the  people.      This  continued    to   the  year   16G3, 
when    upon    cleaning  it    the   twelve    labours  of 
Horculea    unluckily    appeared    engraved    on    it. 
Giacooio  Bartolini,  who  was  present,  and  relates 
it,  says,  "  Our  worahtp  was  not  misplaced,  since  it 
was  not  to  the  wood  we  paid  it,  but  to  St.  Peter." 
Another  author  observes,  *'  The  labours  of  Hercules 
were  mystical,  as  emblems  rcpreiientinf;  the  future 
exploits  of  the  Popes."     When  the  French  took 
possesstoo  of  Homo  (Lady  Morgan's  lUily),  they 
did  not  fuil  to  examine  the  celebrated  chair,  and, 
io  addition  to  the  hibours  of  Hercules,  they  dis- 
covered  en^aved   on   it,   in    Arabic   letters,    the 
Mohammedan  confession  of  fiiith.

Who  TVA9  THE  Wife  ot  Judoe  LTTTELXoifl 
— Who  was  the  wife  of  the  great  Judge  Lytteltoo 
and  the  ancestress  of  so  many  distinguished 
families  ?  Mr  Sydney  Gmzebrook,  on  pp.  93  and 
240  of  his  Hiraldry  of  Woreattrshire,  puts  forth 
contmdic'.ory  slalements. 

1.  Under  *'Burley"  she  is  called  "Joan,  daughter 
aod  coheiress  of  Wm.  Uurley,  of  Bromscroft,  H.S. 
of  Salop  1420,  granddaughter  of  John  Barley, 
II.S.  1409." 

2.  Under  *' Grey"  she  appears  oa  the  daughter 
of  Sir  John  Burley,and  granddaughter  of  Sir  JohQ 
and  Alice  Pembridi;e  his  wife. 

3.  In  the  Ileraid  and  OewalogtBt^  rol.  I  p.  437, 
to  which  Mr.  Sydney  Grazebrook  refers,  she  is 
railed  "Joan,  widow  of  Sir  Philip  Chetwynd,  of 
logeatre.  daughter  and  coheir  of  William  nurley, 
&c.,  by  Ellen,  daughter  and  heir  of  John  Grondon, 
of  GrendoD^in  Staffordshire";  and  her  grandfather 
ifl  called  John  Burley,  Her  mother,  Miss  OreodoD, 
is  similarly  described  by  Mr.  Grazebrook. 

4.  In  We-itcote's  Tieio  of  Deromhire^  p.  621, 
she  becomes  "Jonn,  daughter  and  coheir  of  Sir 
John  Hurley,  of  Bromscroft,  in  Salop,  Knt.,  and  of 
bis  wife,  daughter  of  Richard,  Lord  Giey  of  Wil-

Mr  experience  of  them  is  doc  enoonraging  to  those

instasoe!  In  Andenon's  SccUuh  KaHon  I>r. 
John  Blair.  Prebendary  of  Westminster,  author  of 
the  ChrotUflo^,  is  described  aa  a  relatiTe  of  the 
Ber.  Boben  Blair,  aothor  of  7%<  Grave.  This  is 
incorrect,  as  the  Ut:er  was  d  the  Ajnhite  Blain, 
and  the  forr:er  of  the  great  Perthshire  ito^ ; 
both  families  bting  of  equally  great  antiquity,  bat 
not  allied  by  ties  of  kindred.  Farther,  a  pzotty 
little  story  is  told  by  Anderson  to  the  effect  that 
the  aboTe  Dr.  John  was  so  affected  1^  the  news  of 
the  death  of  /.u  IrvOur  Capt.  William  Blair, 
killed  in  Hodoei*s  action,  that  his  death  wm 
accelerated  thereby,  &c  This  story  is  apparently 
borrowed  from  Chalmers ;  Chambers  baa  the 
same ;  but  in  reality  Cspt.  William  Blair  was  not 
a  brother,  but  a  cousin  ;  moreoTer,  his  death  took  - 
place  three  or  four  months  before  Dr.  John  fell  iU.

Mount  EdccDmbe,  during  a  foreign  tout  in  1781,  ' 
I  find  the  following  entry  relating  to  Paris  : —

I  should  be  glad  to  hear  from  any  correspondent

dUoourtery  if  I  nbataiD   from  answeriog  all  be 

advanced  itriafim  ;  I  now  wish  to  content  mj- 

hlf  with  giving  a  luiber  mora  extended  detail  of 

le  TievTM  nnd  circurnvtanceR  contained  in  my  book 

a  coDtribiition  towurda  the  investigation  of  thU 

itereating  Bubject, 

In  AsbwAter  Church  »re  eii  shields,  three  on  a 

kb  and  three  in  u  window.    On  the  touib  recline 

ro  e£B>!ies,  n  knit^ht  nnd  t\  liidy.     Orer  the  figures 

a  canopy,  and  the  front  of  llie  canopy  is  formed  by 

arch,  from  wbich  extend  two  curved  projections 

led  **  cuspft."    At  the  points  or  cndii  of  the  cusps 

bosses,  each  formed  of  un  angel  holding  a  shield. 

le  poaition  of  these  ehietds  is  peculiar.     Instead 

of  beinu  dispiiiyed  perpendicularly,  as  is  usual,  the 

angeU  huid  tbem  so  that  they  incline  horizontally 

~  iward,  or  iduio^t  upward,  towards  the  cavity  of  the 

mopy.     From  being  ibus  conipnratively  sheltered 

le  bearings  on  them  have  been  better  preserved. 

Asfuming  the    spectator  to  be  standing  facing 

le  tomb,  the  feet  of  the  d^fures  would  l^e  opposite 

lis  left  hitnd  and  their  be.ids  oppoaite  bis  ri^ht.    I. 

►n  tbe  boss  of  the  cusp  of  the  arch  over  the  feet  of 

le  fijfurcs  is  a  fhicld  thus  clurued: — Buron,  Car- 

linow    uith    label  of    three,    impaling    Femrae, 

"blaDk.    2.  On  the  boss  of  tbe  cusp  of  tbe  arch  over 

the  hetids  of  the  figures  is  a  shield  charged  thus: — 

I'lr- [),  Cariuinow   with  a  label  of  three,  impaling 

t't'iniiie,  Courteuuy   with    a    label   of    three.       3, 

:    IfeBiiitot.  from  the  helmet  supporting  the  bead  of 

L  the  knight  is  a  shield  charged  wholly  (all  the  field) 

httith  Curminow  with  a  label  of  three.   The  relative 

Hosilion  of  this  shield  would  be  immediately  below 

ribield  No.  2. 

The  shields  on  the  cusps  ore  somewhat  muti- 
lated, and  have  been  covered  with  repeated  layers 
of  wbitewfisb,  and  although  this  was  carefully  re- 
moved and  examined  no  distinct  truces  of  colour 
were  distinguiahahle  beneath,  except  u  ruddy 
foundation  as  a  prepiiration  apparently  for  gilding. 
But  a  sure  testimony  is  left  by  other  means.  Tbe 
^anngs  are  incised  perfectly  in  outline  on  both 
lields,  but  no  truce  of  lines  is  found  on  the  bUnk 
ipalement  to  indicate  thut  any  cbnrge  ever  ex- 
ited thereon.  The  shield  insuant  from  the  helmet 
ita  charge  Bcolptured  in  relief,  and  traces  of 
proper  tinctures  are  still  perfectly  discernible. 
Tbe  tomb  occupies  a  position  nearly  hulfway 
>wo  in  the  wall  of  tbe  south  aisle.  In  the  east 
rindovr  of  this  aisle  are  three  other  shields,  one 
rer  two.  in  piiinted  glass.  1.  That  in  the  apex  of 
Lthe  window  cnutuins  niniply  a  brge  capital  Li>m* 
IWdic  letter  M.  2.  Below  on  tbe  dextvrside  is; — 
fewon,  C.irew,  imptding  Femme,  Cnrminow.  3. 
^0  the  fciointer  siJc: — Buron,  bhink,  impaling 
f»tnnie,  Counenny  and  De  Redvers,  qunrlerly. 
thft  bUak  is  n  pUtn  piece  of  glass,  and  has  tbe 


appearance  of  a  modem  insertion  for  the  ancient 
impalement  that  had  been  destroyed,  probably  by 
accident.  I  hope  the  foregoing  will  make  thestato 
of  things  at  Asbwater  tolerably  cle^r. 

I  will  now  proceed  to  Wolborongh  Church, 
where  there  uro  three  shields  in  painte  1  ghisB  in  a 
window: — 1.  Quarterly  of  four,  1  and  4,  De  Vere; 
2  snd  3,  Arcedekne.  2.  Parted  per  pule,  Baron, 
Carminow  with  Ubel  of  three;  Fcinme,  C^urteniiy 
with  label  of  three  differenced.  3.  Purled  per  pale, 
Baron,  Beaumont  of  .Sherwill ;  Femme,  Courtenay, 
labelled  iind  diU'erenced  as  before. 

I  am  gliid  to  have  the  opportunity  of  correcting 
the  error  in  my  book  as  to  quarters  I  and  4  in 
shield  Mo.  I,  having  mislakcn  De  Vere  for  Fitz- 
warrcn,  a  similarly  emblazoned  coat,  as  Elizabeth 
Cogan,  Sir  Hugh  Courlenay's  first  wife,  was  widow 
nf  Fulk  FitKwarren.  At  tbe  time  of  my  notes  tbe 
glass  was  dim  nnd  discoloured,  and  had  not  been 
cleaned  and  restored  as  it  now  appears.  The  du- 
cuvery  came  too  late  for  correction. 

Thomas  Carminow,  who  died  21  Henry  Vf.,  1J43 
(Pole),  left  two  diingfaters  coheirepseii,  Margnret  and 
Joan.  Sir  Hugh  Cuurtenay,  of  Uaccombe  (by  right 
of  his  second  wife),  woa  younger  brother  of  Edward, 
Enrl  of  Devon.  He  murried  thrice:  1.  Eliziibeth 
Cogan,  widow  of  Fulk  Fitzwarren;  2.  Philippn, 
daughter  nnd  coheirefia  of  Warin  Arcedekne  ;  3. 
Miiud,  daughterof  Sir  John  Beaumont,  of  Sherwill. 
She  died  July  3,  7  Edward  IV.,  1407  (Cleveland). 
By  bis  second  wife  Philippa  he  had  one  daughter, 
Joan,  who  married  first  Nicholas  (Baron)  Carew,  of 
Otteij-Mohun,  and  bead  of  that  house,  and  her 
eldest  son  Kicholas  married  Joan  Carminow,  of 
Asbwater,  tbe  younger  of  the  two  coheiresses  ; 
secondly  she  married  Sir  Robert  Vere.  By  his  third 
wife,  Maud  Beaumont,  Sir  Hugh  had  a  son  Hugh, 
who  married  Margaret  Carminow,  the  elder  of  the 
coheiresses.  This  was  a  curious  relationship,  as 
Nicholas  Carew,  who  married  Joan  Cantiinow,waa 
the  son  of  the  hidf-siater  of  Hugh  Courtenay,  who 
married  Margaret  Carminow.  It  is  therefore  seen 
that  in  one  case  only  a  Carew  married  a  Courtenay 
as  a  wife;  io  the  other  three,  Courtenays  married 
Arcedekne,  Beaumont,  and  Curminow  as  their 
wives. 

On  the  Asbwater  tomb  we  find:  1.  Carrainovr, 
impaling  bUnk;  2.  Carminow  impaling  Courtenay. 
If  these  be  the  effigies  of  Thomas  CarmiDOW  and 
his  wife  Joan  Hill,  the  blank  impalement  would 
have  been  occupied  presumably  with  the  chevron 
and  water- bougets  of  her  family;  if  the  shields 
were  designed  to  represent  the  matches  of  his 
daughters,  then  the  vacancy  should  have  shown  the 
lions  of  Carew.  Margaret  Carminow  was  the  elder 
of  the  coheiresses,  head  of  her  family;  her  husband 
Hugh  was  the  representative  of  a  younger  branch 
of  the  Courtenays  only,  although  the  coronet  woi 
restored  to  his  son.  At  Wolborough  the  mar- 
sbulIiDg  of  tbe  arms  follows  that  of  the  shield  on  the

whom  the  present  (Smithaon)  line  of  dukes  are,  as

It  would  then  be  derived  from  the  A.-S.  hyrgel. 
We  have  auiple  analogy  of  the  metathesis  of  the  r, 
for  the  same  bos  happened  with  the  words  grass, 
bright^  Wright^  Ac,  in  their  transition  from  Saxon, 
and  an  opposite  change  is  observable  in  the  words 
tirrf,fe»rn,(A(>r/i,&c,as  compared  with  earlier  forms 
of  the  same.  Byrgd  is  itself  a  diminutive  of  byrig, 
and  is  therefore  akin  to  hiorgan,  to  defend.  Hence 
byrgel  meant  a  place  of  safety  and  then  a  tomb. 
Uorne  Tooke  assigns  to  the  Latin  apdiri  the  same 
origLQ  of  defence,  connecting  it  with  the  root  of

looking  out  the  passage  which  narrates  Tilloteon'a

thrown  on  the  matter  (aa  the  form  of  his  note 
rather  scema  to  imply),  because  1  had  already

On  looking  again  at  the  note  written  on  a  blank

K.  L.  Q/b  suggestion  that  "  East  ffarnura  "  should 
be  East  Harnham  (or  rather  Eiut  Hamum),  is 
correct.  The  writing  of  the  note  is  as  bad  as  the 
spelling,  and  renders  it  presumptuous  to  say  for 
certain  what  the  word  given  as  **  doors  "  really  is  ; 
but  it  is  evidently  not  '*  bowea,"  and  is  more  like 
"doors,"  or  rather  "dooros,"  than  anythinif  else, 
Themistake  of  supposing  the  nnmberof  weeks  in  a

The  supposed  anachronism  discovered  by  Mb.

the  d»ys  before  ['rof.  Willie  wrote  his  do4cripti'-ii  uf  tbo 
monastic  buildings  of  Canterbury.  The  third  Vflume 
begins  with  an  account  of  the  Tcfltmonts  in  uic  in  the 
Church  of  Kngland  before  the  time  of  Edward  VI.  It 
b  not,  and  does  not  pretend  to  be,  an  rxhauitive  treatise 
on  the  vestments,  but  it  gives  a  Roi>d  deal  uf  informntion, 
Ulu8tnitf.-d  by  an  excellflot  series  of  woodcDtf,  ohieflr  of 
•epulchral  effigies.  Wo  cannot,  however,  admit  that 
there  is  any  but  the  most  accidental  resemblance  between 
tl)e  toga  of  the  Komiin  citizrn  ffiren  on  the  first  page 
and  the  euoharitttc  veitinents  of  the  Church.  A  mo- 
ment's thought  of  the  way  tic  toga  was  put  on.  which  is 
sufficiently  well  indicated  in  tijis  figure,  is  enough  to 
show  that  if  there  is  any  connexion  at  all  between  the 
tiro  it  mast  be  very  remote  indeed.  The  next  chapter 
oarrl^s  on  the  history  of  the  furniture  of  churchei  after 
the  Reformation,  and  the  next  ngain  does  the  like  for 
the  Testments.  It  cannot  be  expected  that  in  these 
days  of  hot  controversy  sll  will  agree  with  everything 
Ur.  Bloxara  lays  on  these  subjects,  but  all  most  acknow- 
ledge that  he  has  treated  them  with  fairness  and  modera- 
tion. The  lost  chapter  is  on  sepulchral  monuments,  and 
in  it  are  described  some  of  earlier  than  Christinn  times 
in  this  country.  Prefixed  to  the  tir«t  volume  ts  a  capital

Oratory.  With  an  Hist'>rical  Introduction  by  Thomas 
Francis  Knox,  ll.D.  (Nult.} 
Taitf  work,  the  second  volume  of  tlio  series  of  **  llecords 
of  English  Catholics,'*  gives  us  for  the  first  time  an 
aatheniic  and  detailed  account  of  the  busy  life  of  William 
Allen,  who.  as  a  student  of  Oriel  College,  proctor  of  bis 
university,  Principal  of  St.  Mary  Uall,  Canon  of  \'ork 
(according  to  Wood),  founder  and  first  prexident  of  the 
College  Mt  Dowar,  and  afterwards  Cardinal  of  the  Roman 
Church  and  Archbishop  of  Mechlin,  was  in  the  fri.int 
rank  of  those  who,  in  the  early  years  of  the  re>{^n  of 
Blizabeth,  elected  to  retire  from  Oxford  to  the  Contment 
rather  than  conform  to  the  new  ordtr  of  things.  The 
fact  that  we  have  hero  now  printed  fi»r  the  first  time  no 
fewer  thnn  225  docmnenis  which  deal  with  sooae  of  the 
most  intricate  <^uestiuns  of  tlio  day,  alone  gives  to  tltis 
book  historical  importance.  3Iany  of  these  letters  snd 
nporlB  are  communications  between  Allen  and  Popes 
Gregory  XIII.  ai>d  Sixtus  V.,  Mary  <.juecn  of  Scots, 
Pkdap  II.  cf  Spain,  the  Cardinal  of  Como^  the  General  of 


the  Jesuits.  Father  Persons.  Sir  Francis  Cnglefield,  the 
Count  deOlivnres.  &c. ;  and  they  possess  aditttinual  value 
froQ)  the  fact  that  they  are,  to  a  great  extant,  confi- 
dential in  character,  and  are  certainly  ncit  written  with 
refert^nce  to  the  postible  rrfiuirements  of  future  his- 
tririanp.  We  cannot  too  biglily  commend  either  the 
patience  and  industry  displayed  by  the  editors  in  tbo 
laborious  ta»k  v(  collection,  or  the  impartiality  with 
which  they  have  placed  the  result  of  their  labour  at  the 
service  of  the  public.  It  is  im|Ktasible,  out  of  such  a 
maan  of  material,  to  dn  more  than  give  an  instance  nf  the 
u»e  (hat  may  t<e  made  of  the^^u  papers.  We  may  take  for 
that  (lurpooe  the  always  interesting  subject  of  the  death 
of  Mary  Queen  of  Scots.  In  two  of  the  despatches 
c<)picd  from  the  Vatican  transcripts  in  the  Keoord 
Office  we  htkVf  the  firnt  account  that  has  ever  been  given 
of  n  plot  on  the  part  of  the  Dukes  of  Qutt<*  and  .^layonne 
to  kill  Kliznbeth  in  the  y^ar  lf>S3.  The  Nuncio  of 
France,  writing  to  the  Cardinal  of  Como,  says :  "  The 
Duke  of  Guise  and  the  Dnkcr  of  Mayenne  have  told  mo 
itiat  they  have  a  plan  Tor  klLhng  the  Queen  of  Hngland 

noi  I'Tio  outnardly, 
who  is  ncnr  her  perron,  nnd  is  ill  affected  towards  her 
for  having  put  to  death  Fomo  of  her  Catholic  relation?. 
This  man,  it  arpms,  sent  word  of  this  to  the  Queen  of 
Scotland,  but  she  refused  to  attend  to  it  (Ilavera  costot 
mnndato  a  la  Kegina  dt  Scotia,  ma  lei  nun  ha  voluto 
attendorvi)."  'J'his  tbrons  a  strong  side  IiKht  upon  the 
nature  of  the  evidence  produced  at  Mary's  trial.  It  is 
not  credible  thtit,  if  she  would  not  listen  to  an  agent  of 
her  own  relations  in  l/th3,  nhe  should  have  committed 
herself  in  writing  to  an  attempt  to  kill  Klizabeth  only 
three  years  later,  in  Ifiiid.  At  any  rate,  tl»is  newly  dia* 
covered  fact  confirms  the  view  now  eenorully  entertained 
that  tho  pBB»iL'OB  in  her  Icitcra  U]w>n  'nbirh  ehe  waa 
condemnt^d  arr^  furgoriea  interpolated  hy  Phe[i]ipea  or  by 
aonio  other  agent  uf  Klizabeth 's  council.  In  addition  t» 
the  historical  documents,  we  have  interesting  d(.>nieatHi 
papers  relating  to  Allen's  household  in  Rome,  his  debts, 
nnd  Lancashire  relations.  Ibe  historical  introduction 
by  the  late  Dr.  Knox,  which  is  hy  no  means  the  Icaat; 
intcrenting  pnrticm  nf  tho  book,  gives  a  very  clear  and, 
notwitbatandtng  its  leoKtb.  succinct  account  of  the  cir- 
cumitancea  under  which  these  letters  were  written  and 
of  the  events  with  which  they  deal ;  and,  considering 
the  fubject,  it  appears  to  be  singulariy  free  from  pole- 
mical matter.  We  hare  both  sides  of  Allen's  character 
fwiriy  fiut  before  us.  Ue  appears  as  a  zealous  missionary 
and  ss  an  irrepressible  politician.  The  author  expressly 
difclaiiiis  any  intention  of  defending  aa  an  adrockte  all 
his  political  acts,  but  Ihe  rightly  claims  that  they  should 
be  Tiewed  through  Eliiabethan  and  not  tbrnugh  Vic- 
torian spectacles,  and  with  regard  both  to  the  conditiona 
under  which  he  lived  and  the  modes  of  thought  of 
his  contemrorariea.  The  volume  before  us  oan- 
uut  fail  to  l>e  of  use  to  those  who  are  specially  in- 
terested in  Elizabeihan  history,  and  to  every  reader  of

and  Froiiiart.  and  hare  painted  the  character  of  Jame» 
Tan  Anereide  in  the  blackest  of  coloura.  Mr.  Longman. 
in  hij History  of  the  L-jeaud  Timis  ofEditard  III.,  alone 
of  oar  historical  writers  hai  attempted  to  show  that 
James  ran  Arterelde  was  rery  far  from  being  the  on- 
scmpnloos,  self-seeking  demagogue  he  hju  been  .gener- 
ally portrayed  to  us.  As  to  the  vexed  qaestion  whether 
James  Tan  Art^reldc  was  a  brewer  or  not,  Mr.  Hutton 
declines  to  make  any  poeitire  assertion  either  way.  In 
those  days  the  work  of  baking  and  brewing  was  chiefly 
done  by  women ;  and  we  are  inclined  to  believe  that  the 
idea  of  his  being  a  brewer  by  trade  arose  from  his 
marrrtng  a  "  brewster."  It  was  probably  on  this  account 
that  James  van  Arterelde,  who  by  descent  belonged  to 
the  weavert'  guild,  became  a  member  of  the  brewen* 
gaild.  fVhaterer  the  true  character  of  the  eo-called 
**  Brewer  of  Ghent "  may  hare  been,  whether  Mr.  Uatton 
is  right  or  wrong  in  his  estimation  of  his  hero,  there  can 
be  no  doubt  of  the  fact  that  during  the  period  of  Arte> 
Telde*s  rule,  which  larted  more  than  sevtrn  years,  the 
people  uf  Flunders  enjoyed  uneximpled  prosperity. 
with  the  name  of  Philip  van  Arterelde  English  readers 
are  more  familiar,  in  consequence  of  Sir  Henrr  ^ylor'i 
well-knovn  dramatic  poem,  of  which  Philip  is  the  centra] 
figure.  By  a  itmnge  fatality  both  father  and  ton  met 
with  violent  deaths.  James  was  slain  in  a  riot  at  Ghent 
on  July  24, 1345,  though  at  whose  hands  he  received  the 
fatal  blow  it  is  not  quite  clear.  Philip,  the  son,  was 
found  dead  under  a  heap  of  the  slain  on  the  fatal  field  of 
Roosebekr,  on  >'oTeuiber27i  13S2.  From  his  concluding 
remsrks  it  would  appear  that  Mr.  Uutton  takes  a  most 
desponding  view  of  the  present  as  well  as  a  most  dismal 
fon-cast  of  the  future.  We  are  quite  sure,  however,  that 
our  rebder?,  after  a  peni»I  of  >[r.  Button's  volume,  will 
be  heartily  tli&nkfiil  that  their  lot  was  not  cnst  in  those 
times  i^hich  the  author  has  so  graphically  described. 

Dr.  Grimahaxrif  Sfcret :  a  Homanc-:  By  Xathaniel 
Hawthorne.  Edited  by  Julian  Hawthorne.  (Long> 
mans  A:  C<>. ) 
Wf.  have  received  this  hook,  concerning  which,  as  our 
readcri  may  rt-inciutier,  considerable  diKussion  arose 
prior  to  its  puMliatii  n.  The  present  fashion  of  printine 
every  scrap  of  uriting  which  an  author  leaves  behind 
him  is  not  one,  in  our  opitiion,  to  be  commended.  In 
many  cases  the  only  effect  of  it  is  to  damage  the  reputa- 
tion  of  the  dcct-a9(>d,  and  in  nine  cases  out  of  ten  the 
authi)r  himself,  had  he  been  able,  would  have  strongly 
diMpi;roTe*l  ot  their  publication.  From  the  author's 
own  notes  nrpt-n-'ed  to  the  volume  it  is  perfectly  clear 
that  the  manuscript  of  the  romance  was  left  in  a  most 
ui.finishcd  ttatc.  If  farther  proof  of  this  is  required,  it 
will  be  founil  in  Mr.  Juliin  Hawthorne's  significant 
stateuicnc  at  the  end  of  the  book  that  "this  and  various 
other  dusky  points  are  partly  elucidated  in  the  notes 
hcrL&ftt:r  tu  be  appended  to  the  volume.^' 

W'y.  have  received  from  Messrs.  F.  8.  MchoU  and  Co^ 
Boroii^'h  Hifrh  Street,  Southwark,  a  re-mark  impression 
of  a  cajjtfti  f'tchinK  by  Mr.  Percy  Thomas,  representing 
the  "  old  White  Hart  Inn,"  Southwark,  a  building  of  the 
utmost  pictare;quenesB,  and,  from  an  archself^cal  point 
of  view,  ex  traoi  dinarily  precious ;  bat  most  of  all  attrac- 
tive to  Englishmen  and  Cocknen  becauw  it  is  the  sub- 
ject of  more  than  one  reference  by  Shakepcare,  if  alleged 


'  to  have  been  Jack  Cade's  headonarters  in  1450,  and,  in 
happwr  days,  to  have  behehl  tne  eloDeneat  of  Alfred 
Jingle,  Esq..  and  Miss  Rachel  YTardle.  Its  erowninj; 
merit  is  in  having  been  the  place  where  Mr.  Kckwick 
met  Sam  W(-ller.  In  this  print  the  ionlight  dqMa  from 
wall  to  vrall,  and  illuminates  a  smoky  Tista,  giving  a 
glimpse  under  the  gateway  to  the  busier  outer  street. 
Alfred,  Bachel,  Pickwick,  and  8am  have  joined  Jack 
Cade  uid  the  greater  number,  but  the  galleries  and  their 
quaint  railings  and  sloping  roofs  and  ranks  of  <^rs, 
whence  boots  descended  in  showers  to  Sam  whistling  at 
his  labour,  are  still  there.  Mr.  Thomas's  etching  is  wA 
only  correct,  hut  very  pretty.  Uniform  with  this  plate 
the  same  publishers  will  ehortly  isaae,  we  are  told, 
etchings  of  the  "George  Inn,**  and  the  church  of  St 
Saviour,  Southwark.

:CERPTSFKOM  THE  DIAUY  OF  ANDREW  HAY. 

I  am  ID  ptusessioD  of  a  MS.  diary,  coaimenoing 

ky  I,  1G60,  Hud  ending  Junnary  31,  IC60.  From 

itriniiio  evidence  it  appears  to  have  been  written 

ft  brother  of  Hay  of  Haystoun,  mont  probably 

idrew   Ray  of  <'raignetblin.      Mr.  Hay  waa  & 

Uroled  adherent  of  the  CoTeniint,  and  on  terms 

intimR<7  with  the  leaders  of  the  Presbyterian 

irty  ill  Scotland.     Oq  th«  death  of  Thomas  Hi'j>- 

ira  of  Uambie  he  acted  aa  factor  for  his  widow, 

lizabetb  Johnston,  a  daughter  of  the  celebrated 

Kr  Arohibald  Johnston  of  Warriston,  and  as  one 

the  guardians  of  his   only   child,   an   infant 

lughter,  Helen  Hepburn,  who  became  the  nn- 

)T  of  the  Lords   Polwartb.    Lady  Hambie, 

>gh   the  daughter   of  the   great  CovenaDter, 

kiue  the  wife  of  General  Drummond,  the  first 

int  of  Strathallan,  who  took  a  leading  part, 

lile  oommaDding  the  king's  forces,  in  repreiatng 

riociples  for  which  her   father  had  suffered 

■"-T  gives  a  good  idea  of  the  daily  life  of  a 

lemAn  of  the  period.     It  is  minute  in 

;^...  .i  a  fault.     I  bcIieTe  ii  not  only  worthy 

ication,  but  also  of  historical  value. 

followlu^r  ia  a  speoimen  of  the  coiit«Qt3. 


It  relates  to  a  journey  of  Lady  Warriaton  to 
London,  when  her  husband  bad  been  made  Presi- 
dent of  the  Council  of  State  ;  alas  !  a  ahort-Hved 
and  dangerous  honour,  pregnant  with  fearful  retn- 
bution.  Her  daughter,  Uid^  Humbie^  who  was 
ill,  apparently  with  rheumatura,  was  adrised  (o 
accompany  her  mother  on  her  war  to  try  th« 
benefit  of  the  waters  at  Bath.  There  appears 
to  have  been  considerable  diflicnlty  in  6nanoinK 
the  expedition  and  arranging  for  the  charge  of  tha 
estate  and  the  care  of  the  Touthfnl  heiress  of 
Hambie  during  her  mother^s  absence.  The  diarj ' 
shows  that  the  confidence  reposed  in  Mr.  Hay  vac 
not  mi&placed. 

1659.  10  June,  Fryilny,  6  acloak.— This  monilnp  after 
I  ntw  roadie  Mr.  Kirktoun  cam  iloun  lo  tnc  fr>uj  Hlfcifer

horse,  he  to  Laneriok  and  I  to  £d'  communion,  wc  roJo 
together  to  Camwath  Mrlne:  he  told  me  Andrew  I)unki- 
wne  Kfti  dead  ;  that  be  had  SOOO  mks.  to  leml  to  the  lady 
Iliimliie,  and  knew  not  if  her  lecurity  wai  gooJ.  I  tolrl 
liini  I  tbf>ught  it  ^ood  eneugh.  Thcrafcor  I  parted  w* 
him  k  went  to  Kerf^all.  After  I  had  irpokcn  a  UtJe 
w»  Sir  Jo"  >!r.  Ro*  Lokert  ic  Mr.  IV"-  Brouii  cam  thor, 
and  wo  dyncd  t'getber. 

After  deuDor  Sir  Jo"  and  J  cam  away  to  Redball ;  fay

Wo  chot  tho  comee  wer  to  high  rated  iu  the  iiivenurie  to 
be  eonfimicd  in  her  husbamlii  will.  Wc  tbot  aUo  it  was 
beit  to  pertew  Mr.  Gideon  renman,  not  by  n  renmvinff, 
but  to  inlood  a  reduottoun  against  him  for  tha  Kersai- 
kors  ti  the  lamp  Uw>,  etc. 

We  cam  to  Redhall  about  8  aeloak  at  night  k.  did 
read  letter*  from  Itondon,  BliewiiiK  tbnt  mv  lord  Wuria- 
tnun  waa  made  Pregidcut  of  tha  Couuccll  of  Stato.  that 
Swiutouo  and  some  utfaers  moch  lUTyed  him  upon  this 
accompt,  that  the  lord  Fleetwood  his'  cotitmisaion  to  bo

eased  both  of  my  fear  k  paine  yeeternight^  I  found  my*

This  was  a  good  day  to  my  soule.

that  matter,  but  1  thought  ahe  waa  called  of  god  to  use 
means  for  recoverie  of  her  health,  k  I  left  so  with  her 
being  very  loath  to  1st  me  go,  that  upon  her  advertise-

About  U  acloak  we  dyned  together,  &  did  therafter

a  shop  in  Norfolk  Street."  When  I  lived  at 
leworth,  some  ycurs  since.  I  always  understood 
it  Gamlej  House  was  built  by  John  Gumley, 
iq.,  who  made  a  Urge  fortune  by  army  contracts 
South  Sea  apeculation  ;  bub  I  nerer  beard 
lytbing  about  a  china  factory.  Nor  ia  there 
^y  mention  of  one  in  Aungier's  History  of  ItU- 

tooTik. 

It  is  said  that  John  Gumlcy  hod  two  sons  nod  a 
daaghter,  the  latter,  Miss  Anna  Maria  Guiuley, 
the  "charming  Gumley "  of  Pope's  line,  first 
printed,  I  believe,  in  the  Court  Povrtis  in  1717. 
She  is  described  by  Oooke  {Life  of  Bolinghroke, 
1836,  vol.  i.  p.  11)  us  ••  the  most  beautiful  courte- 
san of  her  day,"  who  presided  at  St.  John's  revels ; 
^t  he  does  not  render  it  nt  all  clear  at  what 
sriod  this  was  the  case.  The  next  statement  is 
kt  of  her  marriage  with  W.  Pulteney,  jun. 
114  is  given  in  the  JIi*toricn.l  R(gi$t^,  Appen- 
IX,  December,  1714,  p.  30,  under  date  Decem- 
sr  18,   "  About  this  time  William  Pulteney,  Esq., 

jcrettiry  at  War,  was  marry'd  to  Mr» Guui- 

»y,  daughter  of  John  Gumley  of  Isleworth,  in  the 
Dunty  of  Middlesex,  Esq."    At   this   time  Mr. 
'ulteney  sat  for  Heydon,  in  Yorkshire,  and  pro- 
ibly  suggested  to  his   wealthy  father-in-law  to 
iter  Parliament,  for  John  Gumley  was  returned 
>r  Bteyning,  in  Sussex,  in  1722.     Two  years  later 
was  oppointed,  on  the  death  of  Mr.  Huxley,  Com- 
lifisaryand  Muster  Master  General  of  the  Army. 
Wa  caused  a  new  election,  and  though  opposed  by 
[r.  Harrison,  he  was  re-elected  for  Steyning.     At 
the  geuuml  election,  in  1727,  his  name  does  not 
appear  as  a  candidate  j  but  John  Gumley,  jun. — 
presume  bia  eldest  son— was  returned  for  Bram- 
in  Su!!sex.     He  seems  to  hare  been  shortly 
>r  unseated  on  petition,  the  Houae,  March  4, 
ordering  his  name  to  be  replaced  by  that  of 
Fames  Hoste.     In  1740  Col.  Samuel  Gumley  was 
;t<d    for   his   brother-in-law's   old   borough    of 
Ion,  but  was  unseated   on  petition,  and  his 
i  replaced  by  that  of  Luko  Kobinson,  to  the 
kt  dit<;^U3t  of  Lord  Bath  and  to  the  great  delight 
Honico    Wolpolo    (Cunningham's    Letttrs    of 
'afj/oU,  vol.   ii.  p.  74).     Of  these  two  younger 
rumJeys  the  records  seem  to  be  very  scanty.     Pro- 
Oy  iho  frtther  died  about  1730,  and  they,  or  at 
cveuiH   the   colonel,  came  into    large  estates.

;   Walpole  aUo  luentions  that  he  fought  a 
luel  vith  Generul  Braddock  (ii.  461). 

John  Gumley  subscribed  to  Pope's  Odyuey  in 

1725  ;    he    died,    I    presume,    about  I73tt,    and 

believe  hia  sons  died  «.p.    Kvcntoally  hisduugh- 

»r  >>tfc;iitie  hia  sole  heir,  and  it  is  around  her  that 

se    chief  iulereit  centres  in  relation  to  Bollog- 

^rvjke,  Pulteney,  and  Pope.     There  is  the  »can- 

uory  about    her,  generally  known  us  the 

•d*ak  legeDd(«€  *'  N.  &  Q.,"  ^^  S,  ii.  401), 

statement  that   she  was  a 


notorious  courtesan  ;  but  if  all  that  is  said  against 
her  is  true.  Pope's  line, — 

"  Far  other  curUge  grao'J  her  rirjin  lifa  * 
seems  hardly  applicable  to  her  ;  the  words  are  not 
appropriate  to  one  who  at  that  very  time  had  for- 
feited all  claim  to  bo  considered  virtuous.  Pope's 
lines  do  not  seem  fair  if  applied  to  a  young  woman 
of  DO  character,  who,  having  married  a  respectable 
man,  tried  to  recover  her  80ci:J  rank.  I  there- 
fore venture  to  think  that  the  "far  other  carriage 
refers  to  an  earlier  period  in  Miss  Giiraley's  life 
than  the  time  when  she  *'  aided  St.  John,"  and 
when  she  still  really  was  a  beautiful  virgin.  One 
would  prefer  to  think  that  Pope  was  contrasting 
the  imperious  pride  of  the  married  woman  with  the 
gudeless  innocence  of  n  merry  young  virgin.  Be 
this  as  it  may,  it  does  not  appear  that  Pope  acknow- 
ledged these  lines  as  his  own  during  bis  life-time, 
or  even  that  they  were  published  as  his  by  War- 
burton. 

It  would  be  of  interest  to  know  a  little  more 
obout  the  Gumley  family.  What  was  the  early 
history  of  John  Gumley ;  what  was  his  buainesi ; 
if  he  had  a  factory  where  was  it  situated  ;  and 
when  did  he  die?  Ssrift  mentions  him,  I  think, 
only  once,  as  investing  in  South  Sea  stock  with 
Alderman  Barber  (H^orti,  by  Scott,  1824,  xviiL 
&3i),  but  whilst  he  states  that  the  alderman 
gained  largely,  he  says  nothing  about  Mr.  Guraley. 
The  widow,  Mrs.  Gumley,  died  Jan.  20,  1761, 
aged  seventy-seven  {Gent.  Mag.i  p.  42),  and  left 
considerable  property  to  her  only  son,  Col.  Gumley. 
The  daughter,  "  charming  Gumley,"  died  Countess 
of  Bath,  Sept,  14, 176B,  Edward  Sollt. 


MRS.  ABISOTOS-8  BURIAL  PLACE. 

It  has  hitherto,  I  believe,  been  unknown  where 
Mrs.  Ahingtou  woe  buried.  She  died  on  March  4, 
1815,  and  the  contemporary  msgnzines  record 
her  death  but  say  nothing  of  her  funeral.  Mr. 
Percy  Fitzgerald,  Dr.  Dornn,  and  other  writers  oa 
theatrical  subjects  are  equally  silent  on  this  point. 
It  was  lately  suggested  that  as  Mrs.  Abington  woe 
supposed  to  have  died  in  Pall  Alull,  it  was  pro- 
bable that  she  was  buried  in  St.  James's  Church, 
Piccadilly.  The  clerk  of  the  church  vestry,  St. 
James's,  wrote  lo  me  a  few  days  ago,  in  answer  to 
my  inquiries  on  the  subject,  that  "  Mrs.  Fmncea 
Abington  was  buried  on  March  10,  1815,  at  SU 
James's,  aged  eighty-five  years," 

I  think  that  it  would  not  bo  difficult  to  raise 
sufficient  sum  to  place  a  simple  tablet  to  her' 
memory  in  St.  James's  Church.  No  nclresa 
ever  a  greater  favourite  with  the  public  thon  Mauf] 
Abington,  and  in  private  life  her  grtod  nature  and 
vivacity  gained  her  numerous  friends.  Dr.  John- 
son was  proud  of  her  acquaintance,  and  was  much 
fl.tttered  by  invitations  to  her  supper  iiarties. 
When,  OS  be  himself  confessed,  he  was  loo  old

MarUj  fiiijiisA,  part  i.  (1882),  I  have  noticed  the 
following  errors,  which  it  may  be,  perhaps,  as  well 
to  note: — 

Chartrt,  Genesis  and  Exodus,  2043.  This  word 
is  said  to  b«  an  error  for  cAi/vtrfrr,  A.S.  cvxaHeni. 
Tt  is  really  a  genuine  Komnnce  word  of  Litin 
origin,  and  occurs  as  the  term  for  Joseph's 
prison  in  the  BibU  de  Sixpimu^  n  French  twelfth 
century  poem.  See  Bartaoh,  Chrtttomaihit,  p.  99

seeuis  to  be  restricted  to  the  sense  of  garden

Rachel,  Ladt  KmosroH.  —  While  reoeo 
consulting  Peter  le  NeveV  Afemorandti  iu 
lUraUiry,  as  edited  by  Mr.  J.  G.  Nichols  {Tvpoy, 
and  Gcti,y  iii.  381),  I  noted  tbe  following  posioge 
under  tbe  year  171 1 : — 

"  ETelyn,  Lord  Marquis  of  Doroliester,  his  son  M'iU' 
Picrpoiiit,  c$t\'.,  comiuurily  calkd  i«oid  King»ton,  to 
marry  f  J  dr.  ami  heir  of  Juhn  Hall,e«<i.,a  private 

act  of  nsriiament  pisst  this  Scst^toriA  to  settle  the  Alarquii* 
catute  and  John  Hall's  on  William." 

To   this   tlie  editor  appends  a  note,  qnotio, 
auaiust    this    statement,   the    umrriape    of 
Kingston  (d.  July  1,  1713)  with  Ituchel  Buyni 
as  given  in  CoUins's  Fuarttgt,  and  gravely  mlds 
"Tbtsmarriaga  mast  consequently  have  taken  pi 
rcrj  soon  after  ttie  arrangement  meutloned  in  tbe 
had  been  set  aside." 

The  "arrangement,"  however,  never  was 
aside,"  and  tbe  true  explunution  of  the  seeming 
discrepancy  will  be  found  in  my  note  on  this  sub- 
ject (Foster's  ColUci.  Gm.,  pt.  i )  where  it  ia  shown 
that  this  "heiress"  of  John  HttU,  through  whom 
the  Picrrepoints  and  their  descendants  inherited 
his  extensive  estates,  was  in  truth  his  daughter, 
but  by  the  wife  of  ITjoinas  Bayntun,  his  nep 
by  marriage.  Tbe  two  stateuienU  are  thusreoo

the  city  of  Genoa  completed  a  monument  uv 
Columbus,  a  portion  of  which  was  a  statae  of  that 
great  discoverer.  That  city,  aa  early  as  1846, 
invited  communicatioas  from  all  quarters  regard- 
ing the  most  authentic  portnutK  of  Columbas,  for 
the  guidance  of  the  itctilptor  Roncnlini.  It  was 
ndvised  by  the  Historical  Academy  at  Madrid  that 
hia  modcU  should  be  the  Uffizi  portrait,  No.  397, 
the  Basle  woodcut  of  1578,  and  the  Roman  en- 
graving of  Cjpriolo,  published  in  159G,  all  thre«  of

Nationality  taken  into  confiiderali(tn,  there  is  not 
much  difference  between  the  Parisian  and  thft

the  term  gamifi  is  primarily  npplied  to  the  young

bable that  the  word  giimin  is  akin  to  our  game ;

I  must  confess  that  when  I  tint  read  this  1  thought 
there  must  be  a  little  exaggeration  in  the  state-

I  wish  to  identify  his  family,  and  to  ascertain,  if

Etymolikit  ok  Skevj.— Hearing  some  farmers 
or  planters  discussing  the  difference  between 
damsons  and  skegs  in  a  railway  carriage  the  other 
day,  1  was  led  to  inquire  into  the  origin  of  the 
latter  name  (the  former  i^  of  course,  well  known 
to  l>e  simply  an  abbreviation  of''  damascene  ").  The 
only  hint  I  can  find  is  in  Richardson's  Dtdionary, 
who  suggests  '*shag,  shagged,"  as  the  meaninfE- 
This  does  not  seem  very  probable,  and  I  should 
W  i;lad  to  know  whether  any  of  the  readers  of 
"  X.  v^  Q."  can  furnish  one  better  or  for  which 
there  is  more  authority.  Bichardson  quotes  the 
woril  as  used  by  Philemon  Holland  in  his  trans- 
lation of  Pliry  Jib.  xvii.  c.  10),  where  he  says, 
**  That  kind  of  peaches  or  abricots  which  bee 
callotl  luK'ri';",  love  better  to  be  graffed  either  upon 
a  Mi;/  or  wild  plumb  stocke,  or  quince."  My 
interlocutors  in  the  train,  who  said  that  the  skeg 
i;rew  abundantly  in  the  hedgerows  about  Knock- 
,  holt  ^Xivkhol:\  in  Kent,  remarked  that  it  grew 
;  moK>  like  a  shrub  th.in  the  damson,  which  may 
have  sugges'.ed  Richardson*s  derivation.

In  the  Tery  Interesting  Mas^  Plantin  Moretus 
at  Antwerp  the  account  is  duly  entered  by  Bal- 
tbaaar  Moretus  of  tho  moneys  piiid  by  bim  to 
Kabens  from  1629  to  I63G  for  frontispieces, 
vignettes,  and  devices.  The  ledger  c«n  be  shown 
to  any  one  who  applie§  for  permission  to  consult  it. 
Rubens  received  1,103  ftoribs,  of  which  387  was 
for  frontispieces — thirteen  at  twenty  florins  each, 
eight  ut  twelve*  two  at  eight,  and  three  at  five. 
Joannes  Meuraius  (Jeim  van  Meviro)  was  the 
Associate  of  Bulthasar  Plantin  from  1618  till  1620  ; 
bat  previous  to  1629  Jean  Morelus  II.,  brother 
of  Balthaiar,  had  pidd  in  Rubens  for  the  frontis- 
piece of  his  great  breviary  and  illustrations  to  the 
same  132  florios,  besides  payments  for  vij^nettes 
and  designs  for  different  bouks  Lo  the  value  of 
about  200  Horins.  The  catalogue  of  the  maseum 
contains  the  complete  Hat  of  the  illustrated 
works.  In  glass  cases  round  one  of  the  rooms 
and  in  the  centre  may  be  seen  Rubens's 
receipts  for  money  received  and  copies  of  all  his 
designs.  I  recommend  any  one  who  is  inter- 
ested in  the  history  of  engraving  and  printing;  io 
visit  this  museum.  Plantin  and  his  descen'iants^

fine  portraits  by  Rubens jof  the  family.      Thus. 


The  Hkirship  op  thr  Percies  :  Earls  or 
NoRTHtTMBEaLAND  (O**  S.  V.  3-J3,  431;  viL  28, 
54). — My  "scruples,"  as  Mr.  Rocsd  terms  them, 
are  not  in  the  least  saliafiecl  by  what  be  calls  bis 
** proviso"  in  your  last  number.  At  the  first  of 
the  above  references  be  affirmed  that  "  tho  Duke 
of  Athole  is  undoubtedly  the  (Kole)  heir  general  of 
the  great  house  of  Percy,  and  as  such  the  possessor 
of  those  Percy  titles  which  xvere  descendible  to 
bein  ueneral."  On  this  you  showed,  first, 
tliat  the  Duke  of  Alhole'ci  descent  from  the 
Percies,  in  so  far  as  the  qnestion  nt  issue  is  in- 
volved, at  all  events,  is  through  the  Smithsons; 
&Dd.  seooodly,  that  there  are  no  Percy  titles,  pro- 
perly speaking,  descendible  to  heirs  general  now 
in  existence.  The  barony  of  Percy  which  tho 
Duke  of  Athole  inherits  is  a  barony  created  by 
writ  under  a  well-known  misappreheusioa  on  the 
summons  to  the  Hnuie  of  Lords  of  Alfremoo,  subse- 
quently seventh  Duke  of  Somerset,  in  1722,  after 
the  death  of  hia  mother,  the  dan^'hier  and  heiress 
of  Jo^cvline,  eleventh  Edrl  of  Northumberland. 
The  Duke  of  Somerset!  daughter  and  heiress  was 


the  wife  of  Sir  Hugh  Smithnon,  who,  under  n 
fresh  creation  with  a  special  limitation,  succeeded 
as  Eurl  of  Nurtbumbcrlnnd,  and  was  af\erwiirfl)r 
created  Duke  of  Northumberland,  and  he  is  the 
common  ancestor  of  the  present  Duke  of  Northum- 
berland and  the  present  Duke  of  Athole.  At  the 
next  of  the  above  references  Mn.  Round  repeated 
the  assertion  that  **  the  Duke  of  Athole  is  now  tbn 
sole  heir  peneral "  of  "  the  p^at  house  of  Percy,** 
and  stated  that^  "  as  such  **  he  is  at  any  rate  co- 
heir to  certain  other  baronies  (not  Percy  title>> 
which  it  is  needless  to  enumerate.  At  the  last  of 
(he  aboTc  references  Mr.  Round  suys  that  what 
he  meant  is  that  "the  Duke  of  Athole  was 
sole  heir  of  the  Percies,  Dukes  of  yorthumber- 
hni,  of  whom  the  preiient  (Smlthson)  line  of 
dukes  are,  as  I  explained,  'neither  heirs  male 
nor  heirs  f(eoera1.' "  As  n  matter  of  fact,  there 
never  have  been  any  Percies  Dukfs  of  Xorlhum- 
htrlandf  except  the  present  (Smitheon)  lino  of 
dukes,  who  are  Percies  by  female  descent  through 
Seymour.  The  dukedom  of  Northumberland  ba^ 
been  thrice,  and  only  thrice,  created.  John 
Dudley,  Earl  of  Warwick,  was  msde  Duke  of 
Northumberland  in  1B61;  George  Fitz-Roy,  Eart 
of  Northumberland,  was  made  Duke  of  Northum- 
berUnd  in  1683;  and  Hugh  Smithson,  Earl  of 
Northumberland,  was  made  Duke  of  Northumber- 
land in  1766.  The  Duke  of  Atbnle  is  the  heir- 
geoeral  of  Huizb,  second  Dukeof  Nortbumberhind 
of  the  last  creatiou,  through  hia  daughter  ;  the 
Duke  of  Northumberland  is  the  heir  male  of  Hugh 
the  6rat  duke,  and  of  Hugh  the  second  duke, 
through  the  second  son  of  the  former,  who  was 
younger  brother  of  tho  latter.  If,  therefore,  the 
Duke  of  Northumberland  is  not  the  heir  male  of 
the  daughter  and  heiress  of  the  seventh  Duke  of 
Somerset,  who  was  the  son  and  heir  of  the  daughter 
and  heiress  of  the  eleventh  Earl  of  Northumber- 
land, the  Duko  of  Atbolo  cannot  be  her  heir 
general.  U^  indeed,  the  Duke  of  Athole  is  to  be 
described  as  the  heir  genend  of  a  family,  instead  of 
more  correctly  of  a  pereon,  be  should  be  described 
m  the  heir  general  uf  the  Smithsons  rather  than  of 
the  Percies. 

I  am  obliged  to  Mr.  Bovle  for  his  reference  to 
tho  Herald  and  Otncalogist,  vol  iii.  pp.  270-1,

is,  indeed,  a  duplicate  or  transcript  of  Hopkinson's

Will  you  kindly  allow  me  to  supply  some  words 
which  I  see  I  must  have  omitted  in  my  reply  as 
sent  to  you,  namely,  "  said  to  be  represented  by 
the  "  before  "  Dukes  of  Northumberland  "  7  ThU 
alludes  to  the  original  assertion  which  I  ques- 
tioned, viz.,  that  the  Duke  of  Northumberland 
was  "  undoubtedly  the  heir  general  of  the  great 
house  of  Percy "  (G"»  S.  v.  210).  It  might  seem 
from  my  reply,  as  printed,  that  I  supposed  the 
Percics  to  have  been  Dukes  of  Northumberland 
— which,  of  course,  they  never  were.

"As  CLEAM  AS  A  PISK  "  (6"»  S.  Tl.  409). — Ab 
a  native  of  the  Pytchley  country  and  well  ac- 
quainted with  the  appearance  of  foxhunters' 
pink,  I  may  perhaps  venture  to  differ  from  Coth- 
nsiiT  Bbde  as  to  the  origin  of  the  expres- 
sion "  as  clean  as  a  pink."  As  a  matter  of  fact, 
the  generality  of  bunting  men  did  not  wear  pink, 
but  green,  less  than  a  hundred  years  ago;  indeed  1 
have  henrd  old-fashioned  sportsmen  declare  that 
pink  covered  more  cowards  in  the  hunting  field 
than  any  other  colour.  The  expression  surely  has 
a  much  earlier  origin;  for  we  have  "as  red  as  a 
rose,"  coming  at  least  from  mediajval  times,  "as 
pure  us  a  lily,"  and  other  similes  taken  from 
flowers.  Moreover,  save  in  the  very  limited  period 
of  its  newness  and  freshness,  a  pink  coat,  with  its 
successive  stains  of  nmd  and  rain,  is  anything  but 
an  emblem  of  cleanliness.  Besides,  a  man  who 
hunts  in  pink  would  probably  be  somewhat  startled 
to  hear  himself  spoken  of  as  **  a  pink."  Now  the 
pink  is  certainly  as  clean  and  fresh  a  looking  flower 
as  can  well  be  met  with.  That  Oriental  nations, 
notably  the  Persians,  tfaonght  highly  of  its  purity 
is  sufficiently  evidenced  by  its  constant  employ- 
m«nt  in  their  decomttoos.  Let  foxhunters,  then, 
ham  the  transient  freshnen  of  their  mad-stained 


and  rain-bedraggled  coats  and  any  aphorism  which 
so  fleeting  a  brightness  may  properly  suggest,  but 
let  not  the  world  be  deprived  of  the  agreeable 
sentiment  which  a  sweet  and  humble  flower  has 
hitherto  conveyed  to  oar  minds. 

Albert  HARTSHonK& 
This  question  is  put  as  If  the  writer  were  not 
familiar  with  the  very  common  expression  "  the 

Sink  of  perfection,"  which,  however,  I  only  set 
own  as  a  variant,  not  as  an  attempt  at  &  deriva- 
tion. But  the  mention  of  the  word  leads  me  to 
speak  of  a  curious  error  (?)  in  Webster's  Dictionary. 
He  has,  "  To  pink,  to  work  in  eyelet-boles,  to 
pierce  with  small  boles."  Now,  in  daily  use  "to 
pink  "  simply  means  to  stamp  the  edge  of  a  stuff 
with  a  zigzag  pattern,  like  the  flower  pink,  and 
Brockhaus  gives  the  German  and  French  equiva- 
lents as  ausKacken  and  dicouper  respectively,  with- 
out a  word  about  making  holes.  On  the  other 
hand,  I  have  always  understood  traditionally  that 
the  word  "  eyelet-holo  **  was  derived  from  teiUet, 
which  is  certainly  its  equivalent  in  French,  and  is 
also  the  French  word  for  the  flower  pink.  Where 
is  the  connexion  ?  I  have  also  hei^  it  asserted 
that  the  word  wateTf  denoting  the  lustre  of  a  jewel, 
was  originally  the  **  eye  of  a  jewel,"  and  that  we 
adopted  icater  by  retran  slat  ion,  the  French  having 
appropriated  our  word  «i/«,  and  turned  it  into  eau. 
This  would  seem  fanciful,  but  that  I  actually  have 
an  old  German  dictionary  in  which  vxtuer,  in  this 
sense,  is  translated  by  "  the  eye  of  a  jewel.*' 

R.  H.  BiTSE. 

May  I  venture  to  suggest  a  possible  explanation 
of  this  saying?  Topink=to  pierce  in  little,  or  eyelet 
holes.  Each  of  them,  wlwn  pierced  with  a  sharp 
instrument,  as  a  stiletto  or  a  pin,  is  perfectly  round 
and  not  at  all  jairgod.  Hence  "  as  clean  as  a  pink  " 
^as  clean  as  a  hole  is  pierced.  Alpha. 

I  suggest  that  pink  is  the  old  fencing  term.  To 
pink  a  man,  the  readers  of  Scott  will  remember,  is 
to  run  him  through  the  body;  and  such  a  clean 
thrust  might,  I  think,  give  ritie  to  the  proverbial 
phrase.  0.  F.  S.  Warhen,  MA.

The  Festival  of  the  Pope's  Chair  (Jax.  16) 
(6*  S.  vii.  47).— There  is  no  festival  of  this  name 
on  January  16,  or  on  any  other  day  in  tbe  Koman 
Calendar.  "  St.  Peter's  Chair  in  Rome  "  is  com- 
memorated on  January  18.  The  cbair  was  not 
made  away  with,  as  Ms.  Platt  seems  to  imply, 
on  occasion  of  the  alleged  "  unlucky  discovery " 
of  the  subject  of  the  sculpture  decorating  it, 
but  is  preserved  with  the  greatest  vencmtioa 
within  the  massive  bronze  shrine  erected  by  Ber- 
nini, under  Alexander  VII.,  at  a  cost  of  50,000iL 

The  *'  Cattedra  di  S.  Pietro  "  is  not  supposed  to 
be  a  piece  of  ecclesiastical  work.  The  tradition  oon- 
oecning  it  is  that  it  was  a  chair  in  the  lioow  of 


<Jrt«aVIL  JlK.Sr. '83.1 


the  Senator  Pudena,  given  for  St.  Peter's  use  xrhen 
he  was  liric^'  an  honoured  ^uest  there.  There 
could,  be  no  reason,  therefore,  why  it  might  nob  bo 
decorated  with  the  labours  of  Hercules  or  any 
other  subjert  in  TOfifiie  fit  the  time.  It  is  well 
known  to  students  of  the  CutAcomba  that  the  enrly 
Christians  frequently  adapted  actual  pagan  de- 
cnrations  to  Cbristitin  subjects.  Bnt  in  thia  cnse 
there  waa  no  question  eren  of  uduptatioa.  The 
Senator  in  supposed  simply  to  hi»ve  put  ft  hnnd- 
iionie  piece  of  furniture  at  his  guest's  disposal 
The  very  ornament  supported  the  tradition.  Had 
the  decoration  been  of  on  ecclesiastical  chamcter, 
the  chair  could  not  have  been  what  it  professed  lo 
be.  Clearly,  therefore,  there  waa  nothing  "  un- 
lacky,"  and  nothini;  to  conceal. 

On  occasion  of  the  celebration  of  the  centenary 
of  St.  Peter  in  1867,  this  remarkable  relic  vnis 
taken  down  from  its  Bhrine  and  exponed  to  public 
Tiew  and  veneration  on  the  altar  of  the  Madonna 
del  Socoorso  for  a  fortnight — the  Zouaves  keeping 
np  n  guard  of  honour  before  it  day  and  night. 

During  that   time,    by  order   of  Mgr.   Giraud 

icegerent  of  Rome,  I  think,  at  the  time),  it 
:wfta  photographed,  and  I  have  a  very  distinct  copy, 
which  I  should  be  willing  to  show  to  any  one  in- 
terested in  the  matter.  There  are  eighteen  square 
ledallions,  the  subjects  of  which  may  mostly  be 
'tnade  out  with  a  strong  magnifier.  There  are 
also  Fome  rich  scroll  borders  on  the  mouldingv,  but 
no  Arabic  characters  on  any  part  of  it. 

While  on  this  subject  it  is  worlh  while  to  quote 
!.«n  opinion  ptissed  upon  the  handsome  but  terribly 

tro«o  shrine — the  design  of  which  bos  been  de- 
Ltcribed  in  every  guide-book,  and  need  not  be 
repeated  here — in  a  cnriona  little  old  record  I  have 
of  a  visit  to  Rome,  called  Roma  lUustrata,  pub- 
li>ihed  in  1709,  xs  the  writer  probably  saw  it 
within  forty  yeara  of  its  completion,  while  its 
lustre  would  have  been  still  fresh  : —

vL  373.  410,  430,  470,  619,  543  ;  vii.  l!i).— I  am 
obliged  to  J.  D.  for  his  correction  of  my  Ktatement 
"that  only  a  stout  cord  was  used  to  divide  the 
players  at  tennis,"  but  I  cannot  accept  it  without 
some  sort  of  proof.  What  I  really  wrote  was,, 
"  Tennis  has  never  been  played  over  a  string  or  a^ 
i(rc«t,  but  over  a  stout  rope";  and,  as  far  na  ^ 
know,  tbut  statement  is  accurate,  and  is  borot 
out  by  all  repiesentationti  of  uld  tennis-courts, 
and  all  descriptions  of  the  game  with  which  I 
have  ever  met.  To  this  rope  was  afterwards 
added  a  fringe,  which  developed  later  on  into  the 
net  which  we  now  have,  to  stop  those  balls  which 
otherwise  would  posti  under  the  ro[>e.  That 
tennis-players  leuhnicdly  called,  and  do  still  call, 
that  rope  the  line,  does  not  affect  the  question  of 
the  rope'fl  thickness.  T  cannot,  however,  enter  here 
upon  a  discussion  of  the  Rame,  which  would  very 
soon,  if  pennittcd,  CU  these  columns,  to  no  gooa 
purpose.  The  only  point  of  interest  lo  readers  of 
**  N.  &  Q"  seems  to  me  to  lie  in  the  derivation  of 
the  name  of  the  game.  J.  D.  has  not,  I  think, 
shown  that  "  the  word,  in  one  form  or  other,  was 
used  here  before  the  game  waa  invented."  Per- 
haps he  will  tell  me  when  the  game  waa  invented. 
The  derivation  of  tenis  from  Una  or  ienfon  is  not 
satisfactory  ;  nor  was  the  game  at  first  culled 
"  teonia  "  in  England,  but  '*tbe  pamo"  {jhiunu). 
I  do  not  think  it  w  proved  that  "the  word  was 
understoi^  in  iis  old  sense  of  beating  to  and  fro." 
That  is  just  what  I  fthould  like  to  see  not  merely 
ctated,  but  also  proved.  I  was  aware  of  Spenser's 
tiunrative  nse  of  the  term,  and  have  quoted  it 
elsewhere ;  but  T  believe  it  to  be  unique  in  the 
works  of  classical  authors  ;  nt  least,  I  have  never 
yet  found  a  parallel  passage,  and  should  be  much 
obliged  for  a  reference  to  any  other  author  who 
has  so  used  it,  Itut  Spenser  is  a  comparatively 
late  writer  to  quote  in  euch  a  case. 

If  J.  D.  wishes  to  know  something  more  about 
the  history  of  this  game,  and  (I  hope  I  way  say, 
without  being  suspected  of  egotism)  somethiog 
more  accurate  than  the  information  which  ha 
seems  to  have  obtained  from  one  of  the  most 
inaccurate  books  in  the  language,  i^fnUt*t  Sportif 
&c,  I  venture  to  ask  him  to  look  into  my  Annals 
of  Tennia,  1878,  where  ho  will  see  that  I  prove,  or 
attempt  to  prove,  such  statements  as  I  have  made.

ThkStar  of  thk  Magi  (G"*  S.  vii.  4).— It  is 
impassible  to  harmonize  St.  MalLhew  and  St. 
Luke  on  the  subject  of  the  events  of  our  Lord's 
infant  life  if  we  suppose  that  the  visit  of  the 
magi  took  plane  in  the  same  year  iw  the  presenta- 
tion in  the  Temple.  But  if  we  suppose  th.'vt  the 
Huly  Family  returned  after  the  presentation  to 
Bethlehem,  and  Intended  to  live  there  per- 
manently, and  that  the  visit  of  the  magi   took 


place  in  the  folIowiDg  year,  oil  difficulty 
TfiDitjbes  ;  nod  this  is  9troii(>ly  supported  by 
the  narrative  of  St.  Miitlhew  when  cirefiiUy 
eonsifiered.  1.  That  Joseph  intended  to  live  at 
Bethlehem  is  probAble  from  Nfntt.  ii.  21,  22.  He 
raennt  to  ^o  aad  live  nt  Bethlehem,  but,  fenring 
Archelnn>4.  chiiovied  bis  plans,  and  went  to  Nuzv 
reth.  2.  Thnt  it  is  probable  that  the  visit  of  the 
innf;i  took  pince  a  ye.ir  after  is  coDfirmed  by 
exAmiDiDfr  St.  Mtttt.  ii.  7.  Herod  'Meiirned  of 
them  carefully"  (Rev.  Ver),  i)K/j/^wtrf,  what  time 
the  star  appeared.  The  star,  then,  bad  been  seen 
for  some  time  by  the  mftpi.  Then,  when  Herod 
determined  to  kill  the  children  at  Bethlehem,  he 
''slew  all  the  male  children  that  were  in  Belble- 
heai,  and  in  »1I  the  borders  thereof,  from  two  years 
old  and  under,  according  to  the  time  which  he 
had  carefully  learned  of  the  wise  men  "  (Rev.  Ver.). 
If  by  careful  inquiry  he  ajicertnined  that  the  star 
had  appeared  the  year  before,  i.e.,  at  the  lime  of 
onr  Lord's  birth,  he  would  naturally  put  to  death 
those  "  from  two  years  old  and  under,"  in  order  to 
eniure  our  Lord'«  death.  Had  it  been  the  same 
year,  he  would  most  probably  have  ordered  those 
of  one  year  and  under,  which  would  have  fully 
answered  his  purpose.  Besides  thi.<t,  Buppoaing 
that  the  magi  came  from  Babylon,  which  was  not 
only  the  home  of  the  magi  but  is  directly  east  of 
Palestine,  they  could  scarcely  accomplish  the 
journey,  with  all  its  previous  preparations,  in 
twelve  days.  Travetlin);  is  slow  in  the  £;ist.  The 
case,  then,  stands  thus  :  the  st^r  appeared  at  the 
time  of  the  birth  of  our  Lord  ;  its  continual  pre- 
sence in  the  heavens  induced  inquiry  among  the 
magi  of  Babylon.  They  would  probably  possess 
some  of  the  books  of  the  Hebrew  prophets,  espe- 
cially the  writio^^s  of  Daniel,  for  Daniel  was  made 
the  chief  of  the  maciciaus  and  astrologers  ;  there 
was  also,  as  we  learn  from  heathen  writers,  a 
"  vetna  et  con^tans  opinio"  that  Judea  would 
about  that  time  obtain  the  dominion  of  the  world. 
Xaturally  they  would  turn  their  steps  to  Jeru- 
salem ;  and  then,  as  soon  aa  they  set  out,  the  star, 
which  had  before  been  stationary,  began  to  move, 
and  they  followed  its  guidance.  A  whole  year  is 
not  loo  long  for  these  events  to  have  taken  place.

venture  on  the  suggestion  that  a  ROod  deal  of  si

one  that  must  be  continuous;  and  should  he  aim  at

That  the  joke  was  a  known  one  is  shown  by  three 
references  to  it  in  Dekker's  SaiirofKoatiz,  of  which 
tbia  is  the  first  : — 

"  Dicachd.  NaT,  nnthtos  but  wishes  you  were  marrieJ

But  while  well  aware,  from  my  own  reading,  that 
3ucb  allusions  were  then  "  freqaent,**  or  at  least 
not  unfrequent,  I  have  not  noted  tbemj  and  my 
memory  is  of  the  slipperiest.     Br.  Nichoi-sox. 

"  Little  legs  "  were  considered  a  mark  of  gen- 
tility; witness,  among  others,  the  fnllowing,  from 
Ben  JonsoD,  Evtry  ManoMtof  his  llunwur,  III.  L. 
"  A  young,  straight,  and  upright  gentleman,  of 
the  age  of  five  or  six  and  twenty  at  the  most ; 
who  can  serve  in  the  nature  of  a  gentleman  usher, 
and  hath  little  legs  of  purpose,  and  a  black  satin 
suit  of  his  own  to  go  before  her  in."  The  old  joke 
is  on  the  opposition  of  legs  and  body ;  such  a 
fushtonabie  figure,  if  it  bad  liitle  Ugt^  had  at  least 
some  body.  The  woodcuts  in  tbe  old  play  are 
mere  caricatures.  James  Morisos.

1  cauDOL  help  F.  W.  C  to  an  answer  to  his  query, 
but  I  Tenture  to  send  the  following  notes  of  trans- 
lations of  JuTenal  in  uiy  own  collection  : — 

1.  Apparently  the  tlrst  appearance  of  the  great 
Rouian  sntirisU  Juvtnal  and  Perfins^  by  Barten 
Holyday,  in  h^e  folio,  with  curious  engravings 
and  very  excellent  and  learned  noteft.  1616. — A 
Udb  for  line  version,  good  and  correct  in  sense, 
but  wretched  tw  poetry. 

2.  Mom  Hoviinum:  ih^  Manners  of  Men y  th- 
ieribed  in  Si.rUr.n  Satyrs  hy  Juvenal,  translated, 
with  larifO  Ooujuients  out  of  the  Law»  and  Ousloms 
of  the  Romans,  by  Sir  Rob.  Stnpylton,  Knt.,  folio, 
portrait  by  Lombard^  and  seventeen  plates  by 
Hollar.     1G60. 

3.  A  transUtion  printed  at  Oxford,  very  curious. 
1673.     Dedicated  to  the  Canons  of  Christ  Church, 

4.  The  version  by  many  hands,  under  the  super- 
vision  of  Drydcn.  Of  varying  meritj  folio.  1693, 
and  ofCeu  after. 

6.  The  translation  by  W.  Gifford.     18()2. 

6.  A  version  expurgated  for  the  use  of  schools, 
Owen.     1805. 

7.  Francis  Hodgson,  of  Eton  fame,  made  a  good 
tmnslation,  largo  paper  copies  of  which,  with  list 
of  subscribers,  are  beautiful  books.  Printed  by 
Bcnsley,  1807,  •kbo, 

8.  A  poetical  version  by  Badbam,  18mo.,  Valpy. 
1831. 

There  are  many  literal  prose  ventions,  aa  Evans, 
Smart,  Giles,  and  commentary  and  notes,  besides 
adaptations  of  single  satires  without  number.  The 
peculiar  character  of  much  of  Juvenal's  Satires 
deters  modern  translators ;  but  Messrs.  Kegan 
Paid  &  Co,  havft  ju*t  published  a  poetical  version 
by  Mr,  W.  P.  Shaw,  M.A.,  barrister-at-law.

Dennis,  in  his  Mwfllany  PoemSj  made  transla- 
tions of  Juvenal,  1607.  Then  the  Rev.  William 
Heath  Harsh,  1804,  translated  Juvenal  in  verae. 
There  was  a  complete  verse  translation  of  an  ex- 

5urgated  text  issued  in  1786  by  E.  Owen  ;  also  a 
uvenal  in  verse  by  W.  Rhodes  in  1801;  also  by 
Francis  Hodcson  in  1807.  Of  course  F.  W.  C. 
means  Badham  when  he  says  Bodham.  There 
was  a  new  translation  attempted  in  li^lS,  sec 
vol.  viii.  of  the  Qnaritrty  Review,  Whether  any 
of  the^e  contain  the  lines  cited  I  am  onable  to  say.

Sasineon  charter  byWilliam,  Marqtiis  of  Douglas 
to  Sir  James  Carmichael  of  that  illc,  Kot.,  Bt.,  of

ticuUr  RegiBt«r  of  SasiDea,  Lunurkshire,  vol.  3, 
&lio  S19,  aaaine  given  March  b,  1634). 

John  Carmichael,  son  of  Sir  James  Carmichael 
of  that  ilk,  U.M.  Treasurer  Depute^  ^inted  a  dis- 
charge to  Jumes  Livingstone,  gentleman  of  H.M.

between  them  for  the  time  during  which  the  said 
John  Carmichael  collected  James  Livingstotie'i! 
rents  durio;?  the  (roubles  of  the  conotry,  dated 
Edinburgh,  Not.  22,  1641  (Gen.  Regis,  of  Deeds,

anignatioo  of  all  the  rents  due  to  hiui  (Livingstone) 
out  of  the  Barony  of  Bcil  prior  to  1G4I  (/£i.. 
ToL  636). 

John  the  brother  was  given  a  thousand  pound;} 
off  the  litiid«  of  Ponfeigh  on  his  brother  Lord 
(Tormieliaeln  marriage,  as  nppcan  from  a  deed 
discovered  among  ihc  family  papers  b;  the  late 
Surgeon  Carmichael  in  1843.  (Memorandum  in

It  seetUH  hardly  puisible,  »9  a(ig);eit«d,  to  consider 
tbe  mtxlern  form  and  the  common  historical  expln- 
mttioD  OS  due  simply  to  popular  (t.c.^  I  ihtppose 
Mr.  Matukw  means  ignorant)  etymoIo;;y ;  at 
leant,  wbeo  those  who  have  a«»erti?d  ii  are  found 
with  such  names  as  Bale,  Camden,  L^nubarde^ 
A^bmole,  Johnson,  and  3o4worth.  Still,  tho 
difficulty  suggested  by  the  forms  in  Bede,  the 
Sfxxon  Chrovielft  and  Kemhle's  Coda,  aeems 
to  deserve  atletitioa;  but  I  know  not  whether 
it  has  not  been  auticipated  by  l*koi'.  Skkat's 
reference  to  the  cognate  word  /ic£»ti,  fur  tbe  plno 
Uiuy  have  been  a  cemetery  originally,  but  disused 
in  periods  previous  even  to  the  Teutonic  invaders, 
and  then  appropriated  by  those  and  characterized 
by  an  added  expression  denoting  that  the  spot 
that  hod  received  the  dead  had  been  made  to  fur- 
nish food  for  the  living.  The  analysis  of  such 
place-names  shows  often  instances  of  successive 
appropriations,  and  not  seldom  by  abbreviation 
tlie  first  disappears  entirely  or  is  left  represented 
by  a  sinyle  letter.  For  does  not  the  whole  of  tbe 
suggested  ditticulty  here  arise  out  of  the  survival 
in  ibc  church  designation  of  tbe  letter  t  or  d.^  I 
say  in  tbe  church  designation;  for  whatever  doubt 
may  exist  as  to  tbe  authorship  of  the  tSiixon 
Chronicif,  it  could  have  only  emanated  from  an 
eccleftiaaCic,  and  be  would  follow,  beyond  a  doubt, 
tho  diction  used  at  Rome,  and  how  much  that 
differed  »>inetime«from  the  language  of  the  people 
in  tbia  isliiiid  there  ure  many  Papal  oontirmatlous 
of  ecclesiitBtical  beuefuctions  to  show. 

The  Domesday  Commissioners,  in  noting  down 
place-names,  lieard  tliem  aUo  from  tbe  mouths  of 
Suxon  headmen  and  port-reves,  to  whone  ulteranccs 
at  the  present  day  we  should  prefer  in  such 
matters  to  trust.  And  what  bos  the  great  cenaua 
preserved  as  the  then  current  name  of  the  place  i — 
a  nauie  quite  innocent  of  the  obnoxious  letter,  for 
it  gives  us  simply  Lecefelle  or  Licefelle. 

Upon  the  whole,  the  place  really  would  seem  to 
have  been  a  place  of  the  dead  ;  and  consequently 
Aahmole's  device,  engraved  upon  the  silver  tankard 
presented  by  him  to' the  Municipality  of  Lichfield, 
is  justified  by  more  than  popular  etymology.  Not 
tfatu  it  Deed  be  contended  that  it  had  anything  lo 
do  with  Diocletian's  martyrs.  This  place  of  corpses 
stood  near  important  junctions  ot  military  roads, 
where  hostile  encounters  would  be  very  likely  ii> 
occur.  And,  indeed,  it  was  long  ago  remarked 
that  this  Stafr<^rd8hire  Lichfield  was  not  without 
a  parallel  elsewhere  ;  and  in  the  northwestern 
part  of  Uantb*  survives  the  name  Licher&cld,  at  a

Oirthol  is,  I  think,  n  variation  ot  grith  utal  ol, 
^rxth  raeaning  peace  or  security  for  a  given  time. 
ifl  distinction  from  fi-ith,  a  general  pFMce.  Of  u 
the  O.N.  word  for  ale,  and  (.is  our  Eoglish  <tlt) 
meant  a  feast.  This  interpretation  is  aiipjwrled 
by  the  teriiii  of  the  prouUnmtmii  :  "  We  contmand 
ihat  the  peace  of  nur  Lord  the  King  be  well  keeped 
and  m-vjntayhed  l»y  night  and  by  day.  Alio  that 
all  matiner  of  thieves,  &c he  wdt^orue  lu  the 


town,  whether  they  come  late  or  early,  at  the  re- 
verence of  the  high  feast  of  Yoole  till  the  twelve 
days  be  passed."  These  bad  chanictere  were  to 
have  the  benefit  of  a  Christmas  gi-it't,  or  security, 
for  twelve  days,  i.e.,  from  Christmas  Day  to  the 
eve  of  the  Epiphany.  The  violation  of  this  truce 
was  severely  punished  by  the  lord  of  the  domain 
or  his  representatives,  and  the  right  of  inflicting 
ft  penalty  for  this  offence  was  oft«n  conveyed  by 
deed.  In  a  deed  of  gift  from  King  Edward  to 
the  church  of  St.  Poier  at  Westminster  (West- 
minster Abbey),  after  conveying  certain  lands,  be 
adds  :  "  And  I  give  moreover  sac  and  socn,  toll 

and  team grilhbryce  and  mundbryce,  and  &U 

the  rights  which  to  me  belong"  (Thorpe,  TJip.  Ang, 
ACvi  Sax.,  :W>9).  GrithhryM  denoted  both  the 
otfence  and  the  right  of  enforcing  &  penalty  for  it. 

YooU  Githe.  The  latter  word  is  the  A.-S.  gihthu, 
mind,  care,  according  to  Boswortb,  but  also  ob- 
servaocG.  It  is  connected  with  the  O.N.  g<rfa,

Studiei  of  Artaniim.    By  H.  M.  Qwatkin.    (Deighton, 

Bell  Sc  Go.) 
Mr.  Owatkin  has  not  attempted  to  write  a  history  of 
Arianism;  his  object  has  rather  been  to  trace  out  arid 
iltuitrate  the  forces,  whether  social,  political,  or  intellec- 
tual, which  contributed  to  shape  the  course  of  the  con* 
troversy.  He  has  thus  been  compelled  to  presuppose  a 
degree  of  familiarity  with  the  subject  which  not  many 
readers  possess,  and  bis  book  thus  becomes  extremely 
hard  reading.  At  the  same  time  he  lias  done  mo*t  ralu* 
able  service  to  any  one  who  is  studying  the  history  of 
tiie  period.  While  the  hisU^rian  must  often  be  cnntented, 
especially  when  dealing  with  wide  periods,  to  record 
the  Tfl.rious  shapes  a  questinn  aseumes,  Mr.  Gwatkin 
has  gone  behind  the  external  facts  and  endeavoured  to 
trace  out  their  cause.  He  has  read  widely  and  thought 
independently,  and  shows  throughout  a  complete  mastery 
of  the  minutest  details  of  the  subject.  His  studies  are 
an  original  and  most  suRgestiTe  contribution  to  ecclesi- 
astical history,  though  the  circle  of  his  readers  is  neces- 
sarily limited  by  tlie  manner  in  which  Arianism  is  dis- 
cussed. 

Wb  hftTe  receired  Part  II.,  Vol.  II.  of  the  Transaclt'ons 
of  the  Gfasgow  Archaoloffical  Societ}/ iO\%9gow,  M^ohe- 
hose).  ]t  contains  ten  papers,  and  we  can  conscien- 
tiously affirm  that  every  one  of  them  is  worth  careful 
study.  Some  of  the  writers  take  a  wide  view  of  archaeo- 
logical science  which  is  much  to  be  commended.  One 
of  them  traces  the  history  of  a  plot  of  ground  now  within 
the  limits  of  the  city  from  the  beginning  of  tlie  last 
century  until  the  present  day.  The  value  of  land  has 
increased  as  rapidly  in  Glasgow  as  in  any  part  of  the 
ifiland.  In  1754  a  small  piece  of  land  was  sold  for 
i)50/.  It.  Gd.  In  1874  the  Caledonian  Railway  Company 
raid  for  about  two-thirds  of  this  the  sura  of  390,000/. 
Mr.  Dalrymple  Duncan  has  contributed  an  interesting 
paper  on  the  discovery  of  a  large  canoe  in  the  Clyde.  It 
had  been  hollowed  out  of  a  single  log  of  timber  by  the 
fagency  of  fire.  Every  caro  seems  to  have  been  taken  for 
the  preservation  of  this  precious  relic,  but  the  timber 
was  so  decayed  that  it  fell  to  pieces.  Several  such  dis- 
coveries have  been  made  in  recent  times,  but  it  is  to  be 
regretted  that  in  many  cases  the  boats  have  perished. 
I>r.  John  Macgown  furnishes  us  with  an  hccount  of  the 
discovery  of  some  Celtic  graves  in  Cambrae.  The  ezceU 
lence  of  the  illustrations  of  this  paper  is  very  noteworthy. 
Trof.  John  Ferguson  has  a  very  useful  though  some- 
what discursive  article  on  technical  receipts,  in  which 
he  gives  a  careful  account  of  many  uncommon  books. 
We  wonder  whether  he  has  ever  examined  the  writings 
of  the  Jesuit  compiler,  Caspar  Scbott.  We  imagine  that 
more  than  one  of  his  many  books  contains  matter  which 
would  be  of  iotercst  to  Mr.  Ferguson. 

Mn.  Jons  Battt's  paper  on  The  Scope  and  Charm,  of 
Antiiitwvian  Siudy  (Lcedri.  Office  of  Yorktkire  Post)\% 
H  privately  printed  paper  from  the  Antiquarian  Muga' 
zine  and  lUUiogmpfur.  It  f'lnns  a  ust-ful  and  enter- 
taining guide  to  a  beginner  in  histtmcal  res^rches.  Such 
n  work  was,  of  course,  not  needed  by  those  who  have 
nlready  devoted  themselves  to  a  study  of  the  past,  but 
there  an  many  young  persons  who  are  anxious  to  know 
how  to  set  to  work,  but  who  have  no  living  voice  at  hand 
to  instnict  them.  To  taoh  Mr.  Batiy'i  counieli  will  be 
of  lutiog  ferrice. 


Wx  have  received  John  Bunyem,  and  Ou  Oiptia,  and 
Wa*  John  B%nyan  a  Oipty  1  two  pamphlets  by  Jamet 
Simson  (New  York,  Miller).  Mr.  Simson's  contention 
is  that  the  immortal  author  of  the  PUgrinCt  Progrt$» 
WHS  a  gipsy.  We  have  carefully  read  his  argument,  but 
remain  unconvinced.  There  were  persons  of  the  name 
of  Bonyan  at  £]6tow,or  in  the  immediate  neighbourhood, 
before,  so  far  as  we  know,  a  single  gipsy  had  entered 
England.  It  is,  of  courae,  possible  Uiat  John  Bunyan  may 
have  been  a  gip"y  in  the  female  line.  One  of  his  fore- 
fathers may  have  married  awomanofthat  despised  race; 
but  there  is  not  a  scrap  of  evidence  which  goes  to  prove 
this.  Materials  for  a  history  of  the  EngUsn  ^pslea  are 
not  forthcoming  in  sufficient  volume  to  permit  as  to  do 
more  than  •'peculate  regarding  their  marriages  with  the 
native  stock. 

A  UTTIK  publication  which,  while  addressed  to  a  small 
circle  of  rondern,  contains  matter  of  universal  interest,  is 
Ihltif  Leavu.  the  Christmas  number  of  the  Si.  John's 
Paddington  Parish  Magazine.  It  opens  with  a  sermon, 
hitherto  unpublished,  by  Eeble,  preached  at  Coin,  Nov.  5, 
182C.  It  is  worth  notice  that  this  discourse  makes  no 
mention  of  the  historical  event  commemorated  on  that 
day.  And  in  addition  to  this  there  are  two  unpublished 
letters  from  Pope,  written  to  Samuel  Buckley  in  June 
and  August,  1735.  This  magazine  is  of  a  far  higher 
order  than  most  publications  of  its  class,  and  deserves  a 
wide  circulation. 

The  February  number  of  the  Law  Magazine  and  Re*

SNAKES: 

CURIOSITIES  AND  WONDERS  OF  SERPENT  LIFE. 

By   Miss   CATHBBINK   C,   HOPLEV,  Aathor  of  "Aunt  Jenny's  American   l*ets"  &c. 
Profusely  Uliutrated  by  A.  T.  Elwes. 

The  author  presents  the  results  of  widely  culleuted  and  carefully  sifted  evidence  concerning  the  many  still  disputed 

aoeatlons  connected  with  snakes.  Popular  crrora  and  prejudices  are  traced  to  their  sources,  and  the  serpent  is  presented  to 
tie  reader  in  a  soolosical  point  of  view,  divested  of  prejudice  and  superstition.  Original  matter  from  personal  observation 
enters  hu-gely  Into  the  work,  and  the  great  utility  of  zoologioal  gardens  uid  museums  will  be  se^n.  Many  of  the  illustra- 
tions are  original  and  from  nature,  and  the  numerous  quotations  from  Owen,  Huxley,  Ounter,  Dumeril,  Payrer,  Ac,  wIU 
inrite  the  coufldence  of  the  reader  as  to  the  mSre  scientific  character  of  the  work.

0TE3    OX    BIEDWINS   "COXVERSATIOSS    OF 

LORD    BYRON,"  BY    SIR   C.  J.   XAPIER    AXD 

TRELAWSY. 

I  have  in  my  posseflsioD  &  copy  of  Medvrm's 
'onttrta^iont  of  Lord  Byron,  which  belonged  to 

y  father  in  Cephklonia  in  1825,  and  which, 
Jadgin^  from  the  marf^nnl  not«a  in  pencil,  mast 
lure  been  peraacd  by  lieneral  Sir  C.  J.  Napier 
aod  by  TreUwny.  Some  of  these  notes  are 
cbarscteriatio  and  interesting.  I  venture  to  Bub- 
mit  them  &«  worthy  of  publication  in  "  N,  &  Q." 
Ai  regards  General  Napier's  writing  there  is  little 
donbt,  as  his  sifrnature  is  there ;  bnt  I  was  not 
quite  sare  of  Trelawny's  antil  I  consulted  Mr 
Edgcambe,  who  kindly  looked  oTer  the  book  and 
gvre  it  as  his  opinion  that  I  was  right  in  my 
tarmise. 

Tbe  edition  of  the  book  is  that  pabUshed  by  H. 
Colbum,  1-S24,  "a  new  edition."  I  hare  copied 
th«  text  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  may  be 
nnable  to  refer  to  the  work  itself.  On  pp.  96,  97, 
Byron  lo^ : — 

A  circumitance  took  place  in  Greece  that  impreiied 

If  lutingly  oa  my  memory.     I  bad  once  thought  of 

'oundin^  a  ula  on  it;  bat  the  subject  la  p>o  bnrron-ing

a  Xenpolitan  of  some  rant,  whose  long  auy  in  tbe  city 
could  be  attributed  Vi  no  other  can-e  than  thii  attach- 
ment. Her  crime  (if  crime  it  be  to  love  ai  they  lorcd)

Tbc  followiog  ia  General  Napier's  note  to  the 
above,  written  in  pencil  on  l&e  fly-leaf  of  tbe 
Tolumo  : — 

"  The  real  story  ia  this.  AIL  Pasbn  wanted  to  leeure 
the  r«aidence  of  Josepli  Caretto  (a  relation  of  the  famod 
Lok  Cbiretti,  tbe  Vondeenn  chief)  in  bia  cnpital  as  an

to  Caretto.  The  Jew  (old  Caretto  tbnt  there  was  a 
bfautiful  woman  in  love  vrith  bim,  and  would  come  to

at  lu^t  to'd  bim  who  rho  WJt.  C'urelto  raw  bia  danser, 
but  it  wai  too  late.  After  tome  time  tbe  Jew  told  her

She  wai  desperately  in  love  with  Caretto;  ibe  thought 
he  had  been  killed  at  once  by  Turkiih  fury  and  the  law 
twhich  is  merciless  to  a  Chriatian)— ebe  thorsforv  re-

bhtckgaard  who  called  himself  Captain  of  Ali'i  Cartlry, 
bit  name  began  with  a  Q,  but  I  cannot  remember  it — 
this  fellow  conntanded  tht  party  who  exteuted  the  woman. 
I  heard  the  lame  also  from  Co1ot6  and  others  at  Joan- 
nina.  Oiretto  is  a  clever  man.  He  afterwards  defended 
Joannina  for  All  and  lost  his  eye— findins  his  master 
treated  him  ill,  he  dropped  one  night  from  the  walls  and 
escaped  wounded  to  the  Turics,  and  at  this  moment  ii, 
I  believe,  at  Preresa,  from  which  place  I  had  a  letter 
from  him  nearly  two  years  ago. 

•'  Signed,  C.  J.  Napier, 

"  1825,  Ctphalonia." 

la  Medwin'd  appendix  he  gires  a  paper  on 
"  Lord  Byion's  reeidence  in  Greece,"  which  had 
appeared  in  the  Wttimiiitier  BevieWf  in  which  the 
writer  gare  extracts  from  Byron*B  letters,  making 
comments  thereon.  Speaking  of  the  Greek  Com- 
mittee, he  mentioos  that  his  lordship  receiTed 
anpplies  as  its  agent,  "  an  office  which  he  had 
taken  upon  hinuuSf  with  great  readiness,  and  eze- 
cated  with  contidtrahle  judgment  and  ditcrimina- 
iion,"  General  Napier  has  anderlioed  the  words 
in  italics,  and  has  written  in  the  margin,  "  Was 
ht  an  idiot,  Mr.  Bowring,  ikeU  thii  turprizet  youf" 
p.  xliii. 

Again,  the  writer  says,  "  He  seems  to  haye  been 
aotoated,  in  the  main,  for  we  mnst  not  expect 
perfection  either  in  Lord  Byron  or  the  Greeks,  by 
a  steady  deeire  to  benefit  a  people,"  &c.  Napier 
nnderlines  perfection,  and  writes,  p.  xlr,  "Yes, 
yon  may,  if  compared  to  the  Greek  Committee, 
and  all  things  are  bnt  oomparative  in  this  world." 

And  again,  the  writer  says  : — 

"The  Castle  of  Laiuuito,  wbich  commands  the  gulf  of 
that  name,  was  the  only  fortress  occupied  by  the  Turks 
in  Western  Greece.  Its  position  at  the  mouth  of  the 
gulf  is  one  of  great  importance,  and  enables  it  to  keep 
up  a  constant  cummuui^tion  with  Patras ;  and  while 
this  was  the  case,  it  was  impossible  to  reduce  it  in 
the  ordinary  mode  of  starration.*'— P.  Irii. 

Napier's  marginal  notes  is  : — 

"  False. — Preresa,  Joannina,  Cavtle  of  Bumelia,  Arta, 
all  then  and  stiU  in  possession  of  Turkey,  1825.  Nor  is 
^e  ignorant  and  vulgar  author  of  this  account  a  bit 
nearer  the  mark  in  his  reatont  than  in  his  auertions. 
The  Cwstle  of  Iiepanto  does  not  '  command  the  gulf  of 
that  name';  its  poution  is  of  grc«t  importance,  but 
does  not  enisle  it  to  keep  up  a  constant  communication 
with  Patras,  and  thereKire  there  is  no  reason  why*  it 
should  not  be  starved  in  the '  ordinary  mode  of  ttarvation  * 
(what  the  urtraordinary  mode  of  stnrTation  iii,  I  don't 
pretend  to  know)  if  by  'ordinary  mode  '  he  means  not 
tadng,  Lepanto  may  or  may  not  be  starred,  according 
to  the  pro|K)rtion  existing  t>etween  the  force  attaclinrf 
and  the  force  d^ending." 

Trelawny's  cotes  are  shorter,  and  several  con- 
sist of  a  simple  denial  of  Medwin's  statements. 
One  or  two  may  be  cited.  Oo  p.  18  Med  win  ttives 
a  description  of  the  Countess  Guicoioli,  and  the 
following  is  Trelawny^s  remark : — 

"  I  deny  this  picture— 'tis  no  likenew— Ittose  ikinoed 
0)  her  face  without  ezpreision,  iuull  hazel  e>es -large 
moath— long  bodyed  [iic]  and  short  limbed— ouane 
balred— in  short  a  dompy  woman— tpoke  a  iroTindal 


language  like  her  brother,  and  said  Faliero  the  Doge  of 
Venice  was  by  far  the  best  of  Lord  fijron's  writings." 

On  p.  S06,  talking  of  transactions  with  Murray, 
Byron  is  supposed  to  have  said  (the  context  ia  im- 
material), "Bat  I  haye  altered  my  mind  con- 
siderably upon  that  subject,"  &a  Trelawsy 
writes : — 

"  And  on  every  subject  too  containe-1  in  thii  book  and 
all  others  written  sbout  him — he  prattled  on  accnrding- 
to  the  Tain  [tie]  he  was  in,  or,  as  he  said,  according  to 
the  state  of  nis  digestion — or,  when  he  law  inquisitire- 
people— in  sporting  lancuaRc,  drauging  cover  to  get 
scent  of  his  opinion  and  draw  him  nut— he  then  broke 
oat,  and  it  would  bare  puzzled  the  devil  to  follow  him 
in  all  Ills  shifts  and  turns — or  draw  anpr  honest  conclo- 
sions— he  did  not  prjfoss  '  invariable  pnnciplcs.' " 

On  p.  221,  referring  to  Madame  de  StacI,  Tre- 
lawny  says,  *'  She  asked  Byron  why  he  sat  with 
his  eyes  half  closed — it  looked  affected.  He  said, 
'  Because  yon  are  pUiced  opposite  to  me."* 

"  Polidori,  once  asked  me  [Byron]  what  there  was  he 
could  not  do  as  well  as  1 1  I  think  I  named  four  things : 
that  I  could  swim  four  miles— write  a  book,  of  which 
4,000  copies  should  be  sold  in  a  day— drink  four  bottles 
of  wine— and  I  forget  what  the  other  was,  but  it  is  not 
worth  mentioning."— P.  201. 

Trelawny  supplies  it,  "  kiss  four  women.'*

COPY  OF  "THE  NEW  DUXCIAD"  IN  THE 
SOUTH  KENSINGTON  MUSEUM. 
In  the  Dyce  Library,  at  the  South  KensingtoD 
Museum,  ia  n  copy  of  the  second  edition  of  The 
New  JDuneiad  (press  mark  7747),  with  marginal 
notes  by  a  contemporary  hand.  This  vofume 
seems  to  have  escaped  general  attention,  and,  in 
fact,  for  some  time  past  it  bos  been  in  the  binder's 
hands.  These  notes  generally  confirm  the  expk- 
nations  given  by  Mr.  Courtbope  in  his  recent 
volume  on  Pope,  but  in  one  or  two  instances  light 
is  thrown  on  personal  allusions  in  the  poem  which 
have  not  hitherto  been  understood.  The  following 
is  a  literal  transcript  of  the  annotations  which  con- 
tain any  new  or  interesting  information  : —

as  twenty  chalice%  and  small  vtllag«  chorcha  in- 
ru-iubly  two  or  three,  it  is  extremely  donbtfal 
whether  a  total  of  fifty  pre- Reformation  chalic« 
exists  at  the  present  time  throughout  the  whole 
ot  Eoghind  and  Wale^.  Having  myself  personally 
inspected  more  than  three  lhons:ind  churches,  and 
always  made  inquiries  for  ancient  pUte,  I  have 
found  but  little.  Eren  tbe  ''oommuoion-cups" 
of  the  Kliz.sbethnn  er.i,  hideous  enough  in  them- 
•etre?,  are  fast  diaftppearing.  I  therefore  send 
you  a  list  of  old  pre-R«formatioo  examples,  in 
the  hope  that  olberv  may  add  to  it.

boats  arrired  or  departed,  and  at  all  kinds  of  times 
and  places.  I  have  mode  many  inquiries  as  to  the 
meaniBg  of  the  ejaculation,  but  have  not  succeeded 
in  eliciting  any  satisfactory  replies.  Will  the 
readers  of  *' N.  &  Q."  take  pity  upon  mel 

Wilfred  Harqrave. 
14,  Holford  Square.  W.C. 

Olahis  Castle. — There  has  lately  been  written 
by  Mrs.  Oliphant  in  one  of  the  serials  an  article 
which  professes  to  explain  the  true  history  of  the 
secret  room  in  Olaraia  Castle.  Will  any  one 
favonr  me  by  a  reference  /         £d.  Marshall. 

TwiFLSS  :  Nappt.— What  are  the  derivations 
of  these  two  words  ?  The  former  is  used  to  mean 
a  small  plate,  and  the  latter  a  baking-dish.  They 
are  both  used  in  the  china-ware  trade. 

(Jr.  Fisher. 

"An  EtEWITKKSS'S  AoVENTtTRES  ON  THE  ICE." 

— Where  is  this  reading  by  Charles  Austin  Collins 
to  bo  found  1  I  believe  that  the  piece  is  frequently 
tecited  by  Mr.  Brandram.  E.  W.  H. 

Henrt  Hollier.— Can  any  reader  of  *'  N.  &  Q." 
give  me  information  about  Henry  Hollier,  Vicar 

■of  Aston,  near  Birminf^ham,  from  1696  to  1716  ? 
Dogdale,    in    his    A  ntiquititt  of    Warwickshire 

'(Thomas's  edition >,  says  tiis  successor  was  "  Josios 
Foster,  CL,  A.  M.,  V.,  Oct^  1716,  v.  p.  cess:  H. 
Hollier."  I  presume  "▼.  p.  cess:"  means  "va- 
cante  per  ceasionem,"  for  I  have  private  autho- 
rity that  Hollier  was  a  nonjuror,  and  resigned  bis 
livinff.    What  I  want  is  his   place  of  death  or 

burial,  or  any  other  information  that  can  he  got. 

Nemo. 

Sir  Hugh  Eolintouk.— Is  there  any  trace  of 
this  well-known  Scottish  poet  having  had  a  daugh- 
ter Margaret  who  died  young  ?  It. 

Deak  TacKER  AVD  Bishop  Bctler. — In  what 
part  of  the  voluminous  works  of  Dean  Josiah 
Tucker  is  to  be  found  the  account  of  Bishop 
Butler's  conversation  with  him  at  night  in  the 
palace  garden  at  Bristol  on  the  possible  insanity 
of  whole  oommunibiefl  and  public  bodies  as  well  as 
of  individuals  1  Dean  Hook  quotes  it  in  his  Eccle- 
$ia$tical  Biography^  vol.  iii.  p.  353,  as  an  "anec- 
dote related  by  Dean  Tucker,"  but  gives  no  exact 
reference.  R.  M— m. 

A  Ewer,  1653— I  have  a  ewer,  silver  gilt,  on  the 
front  of  which  are  the  arms  of  tlie  kingdom  of 
Bohemia  with  the  date  July  28,  1658.  At  the 
back  are  the  arms  of  a  member  of  the  Trantman- 
dorf  family  with  date  simply  of  1684.  It  was 
probably  given  by  a  king  of  Bohemia  to  a  member 
of  that  family,  or  vice  vergd.  Can  you  tell  me  of 
any  event  connected  with  those  persons  at  those 
iatei  which  might  afford  a  clue  to  its  history  ? 

M.  W. 


Buried  in  a  "  ooole  bktk."— The  followinfc 
account  (in  part)  of  the  embalming  of  the  body  of 
King  Henry  I.,  I  have  copied  from  Higden's 
Polychronicont  printed  by  Caxton  in  1482  : — 

"  Also  the  kinge's  baweU  were  drawe  onto  of  his  bodye, 
and  his  bruyne  taken  oute  of  hia  hede,  and  the  body 
salted  with  moch  talt,  and  for  to  aroide  the  Btencue 
that  hn'i  mfectc  many  men  it  waiat  last  cIosedinaAoo^ 
$lyn,  and  yet  niyghle  not  the  noyful  odoor  be  lette." 

Will  any  reader  of  "  N.  &  Q."  inform  me  in  what 
shyn  the  body  was  probably  enclosed  i 

C.   h.   PRiyCB. 

Caterwats.— Whilst  lately  walking  with  a 
friend  in  Kent  we  lost  our  way,  and  were  told  to 
cross  a  field  caUrwatji  in  order  to  gain  the  main 
road.  What  is  the  derivation  and  meaning  of  this 
word  ?  H.  Lambert. 

The  Soc[ett  of  Consiss. — What  were  the 
nature  and  object  of  this  society?  I  have  an 
engraving,  dated  1776,  inscribed:  "To  the  Im- 
perial Sir,  Officers,  &c.,  of  the  Friendly  Society  of 
Cousins,  These  Arms  are  most  humbly  Dedicated 
by  their  Obedt.  and  very  humble  Servant,  Cousin 
Oliphant."  Grorqe  Ellis. 

St.  Johu'fl  Wood. 

Was  James  VI.  really  Qoben  Mary's  Sok? 
— This  startling  question  has  been  raised  by  one 
or  two  students  of  Scottish  history,  especially  by 
the  late  Bishop  Kyle,  who  was  well  known  for  his 
historical  knowledge  and  collections  of  documents 
of  that  period.  It  is  said  that  Cecil  was  sent  to 
Scothind  and  there  contrived  the  murder  of  Mary's 
son  and  the  substitution  of  a  child  of  the  same  age, 
and  that  a  small  coffin  was  discovered,  with  the 
letters  "J.  R."  on  it,  near  Queen  Mary's  room. 
I  shall  be  glad  of  any  further  information.

Abbotts.— Can  you  exploin  wliy  ahboitt  is 
sometimes  used  for  ahhot  in  coses  of  churches  or 
parishes  t  Kensington  was  attached  to  the  abbey 
of  Abingdon,  hence  the  "  Manor  of  Abbots  "  and

the  vestry  and  other  parochial  boards  use  ahbatU 
to  this  day.  When  did  this  spelling  commencOi

Heraldic. — Can  any  of  your  readers  tell  mo 
to  what  families  the  following  coats  of  arms 
belong  1  On  a  stono  in  co.  Donegal :  A  wall  with 
an  arch  in  the  centre,  and  three  towers,  each

Families  or  NicnoL  and  Rousk. — When  the 
estates  of  John  Power,  Baron  of  Kilraeadon,  in  the 
CO.  Wuterford,  representative  of  one  of  the  then 
great  branches  of  the  house  of  Le  Poer,  in  the  said 
county,  were  confiscaled  by  the  Parliament,  they 
were  allotted  to  one  Henry  Nichol  (or  at  least 
be  took  out  grants  for  them  under  the  Act  of 
Settlement  and  Eipbnntion).  His  mnral  tablet 
still  exists  in  llic  church  of  Kilmeadon.  Tbla 
states  that  be  wns  son  of  Humphry  NichoU,  of 
Penvoke,  in  the  county  of  Cornwall,  and 
Phillip.%  bis  wile,  dau^jhter  of  Sir  Anthony  Rouse, 
of  "  Rouse  of  Hallow,"  in  the  county  of  Cornwall. 
I  wish  to  know  if  any  of  your  correspondents  can 
jjire  tne  any  nccount  of  the  said  families  of 
Nichol  and  Rouse.  Nichol's  son  died  early  in 
the  eighteenth  eentury,  and  the  estates  pussed 
into  the  hands  of  John  OLterington,  alderman  of 
the  city  of  Dublin,  from  whom  lliey  passed  through 
a  family  named  Hayes  into  the  hands  of  the  St. 
Legers,  Lords  Doneraile.  Could  any  one  point  out

out  the  sash,  be  remarked  that  the  cord  had 
r^tchid  two  inches.  I  have  looked  out  for  the 
word  in  all  the  dictionaries  I  bare,  and  several

THE  FESTIVAL  OF  THE  POPES  CHAIR. 
(6*»>  S.  TIL  47,  72.) 
The  chair  referred  to  is  not  the  Pope*s  chair 
"       '    is  ever  id  any  way  used 


in  tbe  Mooe  that  it 


by  him.     Those  who  have  visited  the  Votieu 
basilica  mast  be  aware  that  the  chair  in  qoeitioiit 
raised  up  high  as  it  is,  could  only  be  lendend 
accessible  by  means  of  a  ladder.    It  is  one  of  the 
most  conspicuous  objects  in  St.  Peter's.    Eockned 
in  a  handsome  gilt  bronze  case,  having  the  form  oC 
a  throne,  it  is  placed  at  the  extreme  end  of  tbe 
tribune,  and  faces  all  who  enter  tbe  basilica.   Sap- 
porting  it  are  four  colossal  bronze  figures,  repre- 
senting four  great  doctors  of  the  church,  two  of 
the  Greek  and  two  of  the  Latin  rite.    These  an 
St.  Athanasius  and  St.  Chrysostom,  St.  AmbroN 
and  St.  Augustine  of  Hippo.    I  must  deny  that 
the  chair  is  adored.    It  is  venerated  or  respected; 
and  the  correct  theological  term  for  such  venera- 
tion, respect,  or  cultut  as  is  given  to  inanimate 
objects    of   this    class    is   relative    duUa.     The 
assertion  that  it  was  examined  by  the  French  ia 
a  fable;  and  Lady  Morgan  is  completely  in  error 
when  she  states  that  it  bears  a  Mohammedan  in- 
scription.   There  is  nothing  whatever  of  the  lund 
about  it.     The  chair  is  just  such  a  one  as  tba 
apostle  may  have  found  and  used  in  the  bouse  o£ 
the  senator  Pudens.  It  is  entirely  of  Roman  work- 
manship, and,  though  constructed  of  wood,  ia  faced 
almost  throughout  with    ivory,   beautifully    and 
delicately  wrought.     The  front  has  eighteen  small 
compartments,  surrounded  by  ornaments  of  pure 
gold,  and  in  these  are  contained  the  bas-reiieCi* 
which  represent,  as  stated,  the  exploits  of  Hercules. 
The  sides  and  back  are  ornamented  with  pilasters 
and  arcades,  and  the  back  has  n  pediment,  the 
tympanum  of  which,  together  with  the  mouldinjp* 
beneath,  are,  like  the  b:^-reliefs,  of  finely  wrought 
ivory.     On  each  side  are  rings  through  which  the 
poles  were  passed  when  the  seat  was  used  as  a  $tUa. 
galatorxa.     It  is,  in  fact,  a  curule  chair.     That  the 
early  Christians,  knowing  well  that  "on  idol  it 
nothing,"  had  no  scruple  in  employing  forreligioua 
purposes  various  objects  having  pagan  representa- 
tions on  them,  those  wlio  have  any  knowledge  of 
early    Christian    antiquities    will  readily    admit. 
Thus,  sarcophagi,  sculptured  with  pngan  subjects, 
were  not  only  used  for  Christian  sepulture,  but  for 
baptismal  fonts  and  altars;  and  the  vine  paintings 
still  to  be  seen  in  the  church  of  S.  Costanza  are 
considered  by  some  to  be  of  Bacchic  origin.     The 
|)agan  sculptures  of  this  chair  at  St.  Peter's  do  not» 
therefore,  afford  any  argument  against  its  authen- 
ticity. Noristhefttctof  its  preservotion  tobe^reatly 
wondered  at.      In  the  apostolic  churches  it  was 
the  custom  during  the  early  ages  of  Christianity 
to  presterve  with  care  and  veneration  the  chain  of 
the  fint  bishops.    Those  of  St.  James  and  St 
Mark  were  to  bo  seen  respectively  at  Jeraiaten 
and  Alexandria  in  the  fourth  century  (Eusebioi, 
Hut  Eecle$.,  lib.  7.  c   m,  edit.  Turin,  torn,  i

bear  a  Mohaiomedan  inscription,  eoi^raved  in  Cnfic 
characters,  on  ilsback.  The  chair,  however,  is  nob 
ated  with  any  upeciul  respect.  Though  popu- 
rly  called  "  the  chair  of  St.  Peter,"  it  does  not 
:uny  a  place  of  honour,  but  is  merely  set  against 
rail,  between  the  second  and  third  altarv,  on  the

These  early  marriages  were  not  at  all  unconi- 
raon  at  the  period  H.  mentions,  and  for  a  century 
later,  if  not  more.  They  were  chieily  in  the  upper 
classes,  and  were  (generally  a-raof^ed  by  the  families 
80  as  to  join  oslates  lyinz  neat  t)  each  other.  For 
instance  (Ump.  Hen.  VI  ir.)^  Margiret,  daughter 
of  Richard  Smith,  E  q  ,  heiress  of  Sbirfurd  (near 
NuuealooT  in  Warwickshire),  was  married  to 
William,  third  son  of  Sir  Jubn  Lyttleton;  the 
children  were  both  nine  years  old.  Generally  tho 
custom  followed  with  these  marriages  was  that 
after  the  ceremony  the  bride  lived  with  her  parents 
fur  some  year?,  and  the  bridegroom  continued  his 
educitiiiu  or  whs  sent  abroad  with  a  tutor  for  the 
same  time.     Butb  Evelyn  and  Pepya  married  very

yonthfal  wires;  I  think  that  Er«Iyn'«  wife  was 
fourteen  years  oM  when  he  married  her,  and  tbat 
Pepfs's  was  fifteen  or  six  been.  I  hare  not  the  hooka 
to  refer  to,  but  I  think  that  Mrs.  Erelyn  stayed  a 
year  or  two  at  Paris  with  her  family  before  coming 
to  England  to  her  huaband.  I  cannot  think  of 
instances  to  which  I  could  refer  now,  but  on  look* 
ing  at  visitations  of  the  sixteenth  and  seventeenth 
centuries,  and  other  historical  and  genea1of;icat 
papers,  numerous  cases  occur.  Stkix. 

Not  only  In  the  days  of  good  Queen  Bees  and 
earlier,  but  very  much  later  in  our  history  were 
such  marriages  allowed.  To  take  an  inetance  in 
the  Georgian  period,  this  entry  is  in  "  The  Chrono- 
logical Diary  appended  to  TTu  Historical  Rtgu- 
UTf  vol.  vi,,  for  the  year  1721,  June  8  :  "  Charles 
Powel,  of  Cirmarthen,  Eaq.,  of  about  eJeven  Years 
of  Age,  marry  VI  to  a  Daughter  of  Sir  Thomas 
Fowei,  of  Broadway,  E^rt,  deceas'd,  aged  about 
14."  The  young  ludy'a  only  brother  bad  died  on 
March  21  preceding.  Often  did  a  guardian  hariog 
control  of  a  weultby  ward  Bnd  it  convenient  not 
to  delay  tbe  promotion  of  a  marriage  of  the  ward 
with  one  of  hia  own  kith  and  kin,  though  not 
always  by  any  meaus  was  it  considered  neceaeary 
that  there  should  exi^t  between  the  couple  the 
eentimeota  which  induced  Dickena's  "  young  gen- 
tleman not  eight  years  old  to  run  nway  with  a 
fine  young  woman  of  aeren."  W.  E.  B. 

I  may  mention  a  similar  instance  which  ocoutred 
nearly  one  hundred  and  thirty  years  later  than 
the  marriage  to  which  fl.  refers,  in  a  family  which 
my  mother  now  repTe^ents,  viz.,  the  Shaws  of 
Bally  tweedy,  co.  Antrim.  Ilenry  Shaw  (son  of 
John  Shaw,  of  Billytweedy, andgrandeon  of  Oapt. 
Shaw,  High  Sheriff  for  county  Antrim,  lG03j  who 
was  attainted  by  King  Jamea'n  Parliament)  was 
married  in  the  year  1721  to  bis  couein  Mnry  (only 
child  of  Patrick  Shaw,  of  Brittas,  co,  Antrim), 
when  '''neither  of  them  was  yet  fifteen  years  old"; 
and  the  old  document  from  which  I  am  quoting 
goes  on  to  say  tbat  the  father  of  this  equally  pre- 
codous  bridegroom  "  continued  to  manage  for  the 
young  couple^  and  had  not  long  sarvived  their 
comiDg  uf  iige."  Their  eldest  child  was  born  io 
1723.  Ilenry  Shaw  died  in  1775,  a  year  after  the 
birth  of  hia  great-ftrandson,  Thomas  Potter,  of 
Mount  Potter,  co.  Down.

An  iDStaDce  of  early  marriage  even  more  curious 
than  that  mentioned  by  H.  is  the  marnsge  of 
Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Thomas,  Lord  Clifford,  of 
Skipton  L^aatle,  in  the  fifteenth  century,  to  Sir 
Robert  PlumptoD,  of  Plumptou  Castle.  The  bride 
was  six  years  of  age,  and  the  bridegroom  not  mnoh 
more.  The  husband  died  three  years  after  mar- 
riage, and  the  **  widow  "  was  united  to  hia  brother

Skipton, 

Id  recently  making  a  search  through  several  of 
the  old  county  hiatoriea  I  found  tbat  excessively 
early  marriages  were  of  very  frequent  occurrence, 
the  parties  in  many  casea  being  considerably 
younger  than  the  pair  H.  menliooa.  Was  there  a 
syatem  of  betrothal  which,  badly  recorded,  we 
perforce  confuse  with  actual  marriage  ?

Lionel,  Duke  of  Clarence,  third  surviving  son 
of  King  Edward  UI.,  was  married  very  young  to 
the  heiress  of  Ulster ;  the  wedding  took  place  in 
IS^j^,  and  as  the  prince  waa  born  in  1338  he  was 
a  juvenile  bridegroom  of  fourteen.  I  have  not 
been  able  to  secure  the  real  age  of  Lstdy  Elizabeth 
de  Burgh,  but  I  conclude  that  she  was  younger.

Schiller's  "  Peoasos  m  JocH«"  (6*  S.  vL 
9,  fi42  :  vii.  10).— According  to  my  opinion, 
Schiller  did  not  intend  to  convey  any  particular 
notion  in  chooaing  the  name  of  Hnymurket  as  the 
{Alice  where  Pegusus  was  sold.  Ho  probably  choae 
It  Asoji  '^oullaadiah"  name  merely,  wiahiugto  place 
the  scene  of  the  imaginary  horse-market  in  some 
foreign  country.  For  ihia  purpose  the  name  of  Hay- 
miuket  must  have  appeared  lo  him  the  more  suit- 
^»ble  on  uccount  of  the  similarity  between  the 
^■oglish  '•  market  "  and  the  German  "  Markt."  As 
Hgnrds  the  faulty  rhythm  of  the  first  line  of  the 
ftboTe  poem,  it  should  be  remembered  that  Schiller 
Tery  frequently  took  a  poetical  licence  with 
foreign  namw,  Ihae  using  in  his  U'alltJistein  the 
Oftmea  of  "Maradaa"  and  *'Slawata''  as  ainphi- 
brnchs  instead  of  as  dactyls.  The  termination  et 
in  German  nouna  ie,  besides,  usually  long;  we  nmst 
therefore  scan  the  lust  words  of  line  one  thus,  xn 
Bnymdrkifj  pronouncing  the  final  syllable  et  long 
rhyme  with  poet,  however  much  this  may  jar  on 
igljsh  ears,  fn  conclusion,  I  cannot  help  adding 
Lt  all  the  commentaries  on  Schiller's  poems 
lich  I  have  seen  explain  the  name  of  Haymurket 
tngly,  some  confounding  it  with  Smithfield, 
rhere  also  women  were  pold,"  and  others  putting 
down  as  a  town  in  EngLind  where  the  same 
[wife-traffic'*  was  carried  on.

It  has  often  surprised  me  that  no  really  popular 
life  of  Chatterton  ia  accessible.  I  wrote  a  paper 
on  the  "Marvellous  Boy"  for  the  GentUman't

upon  except  tho  Lif*  of  Chattertoiv  by  Dix,  and 
the  introductory  preface  to  the  collected  edition  of 
his  Works  to  which  I  have  already  alluded.  I  re- 
member tliat  Mr.  Sala  then  gave  me  some  valuabia 
suggestions,  and  was  most  kind  iu  putting  me  on 
the  track  of  inforiuntion.  But  we  want  a  popular 
monograph  of  Chatterton  ;  let  us  hope  that  this 
may  soon  be  supplied  to  us,  I  cannot  forbear,  ia 
conclusion,  to  quote  the  last  paragraph  in  one  of 
his  letters  to  the  editor  of  the  Toxcn  and  Country 
Mugnzine.  It  will  serve  to  raise  the  veil  on  the 
misery  of  that  young  life,  and  make  us  at  once 
deplore  Chattertoa'a  wiafurtunes  and  heartily  coa- 
gratulule  ourselves  on  the  fact  that  we  live  in  more 
halcyon  djiys:— "  Penuit  this^  then,  to  appear  in 
your  universally  admired  nugaztne  ;  it  may  gire 
somo  entertainment  to  your  readers  and  a  dinner 
to  your  bumble  servant,"  &c.

Tdksdat  U.sldckt  (G»*'S.  vi.  286).— Dr.  Htdb 
Ci«ABKE  and  -also  R.  H.  B.  (6"»  S.  vi.  317)  both 
write  rej^arding  this  superstition,  and  the  latter 
inquires  if  any  one  has  met  with  it  further  west  or 
north  than  Rome.  Ou  Wednesday,  June  25, 1879, 
I  happened  to  be  passinc;  a  building  in  this  fortress 
laTisDly  decorated  with  fiigs, and  on  inquiring  the 
xeoson  of  the  display  wa)  informed  that  a  *'St. 
John's  Day  ball"  was  to  be  given  there  in  the 
evening.  I  remarked,  *'  Yesterday  was  St.  John's 
Day."  "  Si,  Seiior,"  was  the  reply ; "  but  yesterday 
was  also  Tuesday,  and  that  day  is  considered  in- 
anspicious  as  well  as  Friday  by  Gibraltarians." 
The  superstition  is  not  confiaed  to  Gibraltar,  but  is 
prevalent  throughout  Andalusia,  and'I  imagine 
throughout  the  whole  Peninsula.  The  Gastillian 
Broverb  says,  "En  martes  ni  te  cases  ni  te  em- 
Miques*'  (on  Tuesday  neither  marry  nor  embark 
in  any  enterprise).  I  may  add  that  there  is  a 
Berillian  Opera  Company  at  present  in  this  city. 
The  first  performance  was  announced  for  Satur- 
'  day  18th  ult.,  but  on  account  of  the  indisposition  of 
'.  CM  of  the  principal  artists  the  opening  night  had 
I'to  be  postponed.  The  Impresario,  Don  Ventura 
;  Saiichez,  was  about  to  announce  that  the  firet  night 
voold  be  on  November  21,  but  his  company  would 
!  lot  hear  of  such  a  thing,  as  that  date  fell  on  a 
fincaday.  R.  Stewart  Patterson.

R.  H.  Busk. 

"FoiR  ":  "  Foinster"  (e**"  S.  iii.  328).— Under 
the  above  heading  I  inquired  as  to  the  origin  of 
the  word  foin,  used  by  Pitt,  Wilberforce,  and 
•Iher  friends  in  1784,  in  the  sense  d  to  idle,  trifle, 
nereate.  The  word  frequently  occurs  in  old 
vriten  in  the  sense  to  thrust  with  a  weapon. 
Btchardson  has  many  quotations,  from  Chaucer 
dovnwards,  and  Shakespeare  uses  the  word  in 
that  sense  in  Mvch  Ado  about  Nothing,  King 
Ltmr,  and  Merry  Wiwt  of  Windiw.  But  in  the 
tkeimd  Part  of  Henry  IV.  (II.  ly.)  it  occurs  with 
^teadifferent  meaning,  as  if  in  the  convivial  sense 
ifflpUed  in  the  quotation  from  Wilberforoe  (Life) 
a  my  first  qaery.  Doll  Tearsheet  says,  **  When 
■flfc  thou  leave  fighting  o'  days  and  foining  o' 
•4|^1'    I  naked  (6tt*S.iiL  328)  whether /oin,  as 

id  h^  Pitt  and  the  others,  were  merely  a  fimci- 


ful  word  used  playfully  by  them,  and  perhnps  of 
their  invention.  From  the  above  speech  of  Doll's, 
foin  seems  to  have  had  a  second  meaning,  very 
much  the  same  as  rollicking,  roystering ;  for  she 
puts  foiniog  in  direct  contrast  to  fighting  and 
thrusting.  Mistress  Tearsheet  is  not  a  desirable 
or  a  safe  person  to  quote  from,  and  perhaps  her 
language  was  olfensively  figurative.  Where  did 
Pitt  and  his  friends  get  their  foin  and  foitisUr 
from?  J.  Dixon. 

ALKBORouan  Cjiurch,  LrscaLKsniRB  {&^  S. 
vi.  446,  407). — I  must  apologize  very  heartily  to 
Mr.  Exton  for  my  mistakes  about  this  matter. 
Indeed,  when  I  read  his  rojoinder  to  my  dis- 
coveries, I  felt  much  like  Jonathan  Oldbuck  on 
the  Kaim  of  Kinprunes,  when  the  bedesman  in- 
terrupted his  speculations  with  the  celebrated 
words,  "Prietorian  here,  Praitorian  there,  I  mind 
the  bigging  o't."  I  should  explain  that  uiy  visit 
to  AIkb«rongh  Church  took  place  in  the  twilight 
of  a  gloomy  November  afternoon,  that  I  could  not 
Bod  the  parish  clerk,  and  that  1  had  to  leave  after  a 
very  short  examination  of  the  font  cover.  The  figure 
of  Noah  and  his  dove  I  could  only  make  out  at  all 
by  holding  the  cover  obliquely  between  mo  and 
what  light  fell  upon  it  from  the  windows.  It  is, 
perhaps,  not  to  be  wondered  at  that  I  was  *'  at 
sea  "  in  most  of  my  remarks.  My  main  contention, 
however,  was  that  it  is  a  pity  to  see  the  old  Norman 
font  thrust  into  a  corner.  When  I  hear  of  any 
steps  being  taken  to  restore  either  church  or  font 
I  will  certainly  make  the  best  amends  I  can  for 
my  hasty  paragraph  by  sending  a  mite  towards 
the  good  work.  Pelagids. 

Transplanted  Teeth  (C***  S.  vii.  17).— Mr. 
Edgcumbe  refers  to  an  example  given  by  Petrus 
Borellus,  of  "a  tooth  drawn  out  and  transplanted." 
Some  years  ago  my  dentist,  the  late  Mr.  Maclean, 
of  Wimpole  Street,  told  me  of  a  case  of  the  kind 
which  happened  within  bis  own  knowledge.  A 
young  English  lady,  riding  in  the  Bois  de  Boulogne, 
was  thrown  from  her  horse,  and  one  of  her  front 
teeth  was  knocked  out.  She  was  taken,  as  soon 
OS  possible,  to  a  dentist  in  Paris.  He  at  once  pro- 
duced or  discovered  some  poor  girl  of  the  same 
age,  drew  the  corresponding  tooth  from  this  girl's 
mouth,  and  transferred  it  tur-le-champ  to  the  young 
lady's  vacant  gum,  in  which  it  look  root  and  re- 
mained. So  said  my  grave  and  experienced  practi- 
tioner ;  and  we  have  not  forgotten  that  Fiftne,  in 
Lei  Misirabletf  sold  one  of  her  frait  teeth  in  like 
manner  to  benefit  her  child.  A.  J.  M. 

The  Name  Gambbtta  (6**  S.  vii.  25).— Per- 
haps a  happier  derivation  of  this  name  than  that 
given  by  Mr.  Sawtbr  is  to  regard  it  as  a  corrup- 
tion of  the  Italian  Giambattista  (for  Giovanni  Bat- 
tista),  one  bom  on  St.  John's  Eve.

history  of  London  and  its  suburbs  is  so  very  vast  a

erritrs.     Ic  ih,  haw«ver,  a  mistake  to  speak  of  tbe  Look 

I'ailiumetit  passing  an  Act  in  1657.     When  this  volume 

roaches  a  second  edition  it  would  b«  well  to  put  a  note 

[p   07)  pointing  out  that  the  "  Colonel  Rainsborough.  a 

dan,;er')U8   fanatic,"  is   not    the  officer  so    named  who 

sorred  the  Parliament  by  sen  and  land,  and  who  was  at 

last   murdered   at   Doncaster  in    the  autumn   of   IMS. 

Though  commonly  Called  Raintborough,  the  proper  war 

of  spoiling  tbe  name   is  Rainborowe.     They  were  a 

Wapping  family.     The   elder  brother,  Thomas,  was  thfr 

(Jistingui.^hcd  Parliamentarian  commander;  tlie  younger. 

William,  tbe  "  fanatic."     Concerning  this  latter  person

tangled  c^mfuston  of  names  and  figures  which  exists  in 
the  modem  Domesday  Itook  will  easily  understand  and 
fully  appreciate  the  amount  of  hard  work  which  such  a 
compilation  has  entailed  on  the  author.  In  many  oases 
the  parliamentary  return  has  been  corrected  by  the 
owner,  *o  that  by  this  means,  and  by  tbe  corrections 
which  have  been  made,  Mr.  Bateman's  book  is  a  much 
more  trustworthy  authority  than  the  original  record. 
It  is  now  poisiblc,  thanks  to  Mr  Bateman.  to  tee  at  a

of  the  English  and  Welsh  countiea,  which  waa  origin- 
ally compiled  for  Mr.  Brodnck's  EHylltk  f,ajul  and

we  must  h«re  enter  a  protect  against  the  new  and  in- 
creasing practice  of  interleaving  the  pagee  of  a  book 
with  advertisements.  It  is  true  that  there  are  orly  two 
such  advertitcments  in  this  book,  but  we  are  sure  that 
all  readers  will  agree  with  us  that  these  are  just  two  toe* 
many.

recent  annual  report  of  th^r  Council  includes  an  account 
of  tlie  npread  of  the  free  lihrary  moTcment  during  the 
iMt  twelve  monthi.  Wliile  London  is  still  worn  off  as 
regardi  popular  lihraricn  than  any  other  cifilized  city  in 
the  world,  and  although  Edinburgh,  Glasgow,  Dublin, 
Hull,  and  Tortemouth  are  also  without  the  boon  of  a 
public  library  supported  by  all  and  open  to  all,  satis- 
faotory  progress  has  been  made  in  other  parts  of  the 
country.  The  mont  im^K^rtant  erent  of  IbS'i  was  the 
nd  ptlon  of  the  Public  Libraries  Acffl  at  Belfast  on 
>'i'r<*rnhi'r  8;  the  munici|«I  ctuncil  of  Shrewsbury  also 
atloptf-d  them,  and  a  meeting  of  Fleetwood  ratepayers 
drclared  in  their  farour.  Efforts  are  being  made  to 
obtain  public  libraries  for  Hastings  and  Gateshead  ;  and 
at  OUsgow  a  meetinf;  wns  held  on  November  22  to  secure 
a  life  in  preparation  for  a  hoped-for  librarr.  Bereral 
new  public  libraries  were  inaugurated  in  1882.  the  moit 
notable  being  those  of  Birmingham  and  Newcastle. 
Others  were  also  opened  at  Ht.  AU>ans  on  January  24,  at 
Ifevonport  nn  FehnMir  fi,  at  Cardiff  on  May  'M,  at  Run* 
corn  on  July  0,  and  at  Peansgate,  Manchester,  on  April  6. 
The  foundation  stone  of  the  new  building  at  Preston  was 
laid  on  Hoptember  Ct,  and  on  the  23rd  Sir  P.  Coats  handed 
over  thn  now  buildings  erected  br  htm  In  extension  of 
the  PnUley  Library.  Turning  from  rate-supported  to 
Toluntarv  lil-rnrio*,  the  Council  mention  the  maugfura- 
tion  of  tlip  free  litirary  at  Aahton  on  March  25,  and  of 
the  Maefarlane  Free  Library  at  Btirling  on  June  10.  The 
fonndatinn  stone  of  a  new  library  at  I«eek,  the  gift  of

TYNDALF8  TRANSLATION  OF  THE  BOOK 
OP  GENESIS. 

W.  Tyndftle  lraii«lftt«d  the  fife  books  of  Moses, 
vhioh  were  printed  in  different  types  and  pab- 
lUhed  iPparately.  When  bound  together  they  are 
cftlled  Tyndale's  Pcatateucb.  tbouijb  there  u  no 
general  title  to  these  books.  Of  the  Book  of  Genesis 
there  wu  publiabed  one  in  1230,  in  1534  a  second 
rdition  Having  examined  the  different  readings 
in  these  editions,  it  may  interest  some  of  your 
readers  that  they  shonid  be  recorded,  with  a 
bibliographical  description  of  each  edition.  It 
does  not  appear  that  a  i!eoond  edition  was  pub- 
lished of  any  one  of  the  other  four  books  of  Moses. 
The  Erst  edition,  "  1630  the  xvij  dayes  of 
January."  maj  be  thos  described  from  a  copy  in 
oy  library. 

C.jllation.— The  size  of  the  volume  is  Sto.  The 
r«am  wires  are  down  the  leaf.  The  title-page  is, 
"  The  fynt  |  boke  of  |  Moses  called  ]  Genesia," 
vilhia  an  ornamental  woodcut  border.  The  sig- 
nVtues  are  in  eights ;  the  last  is  L,  baviog  onTy 
7  iMfW,  making  11  sheeta.  ^7  lenves. 

Ortnt«DU.— The  title,  On  the  rererse,  "  W.  T. 
t**  lb*  Reader/'  7  psges,  which  is  mostly  a  defence 
of  bis   tmnsUtion  of  the   New-  Testament ;   **  A 


prologne  ahewinge  the  use  of  the  scriptare,"  8  piges. 
These  fill  the  first  sheet,  16  p^ges.  The  text 
bexias  folio  1,  signature  6  1,  ending  on  the  recto 
of  folio  70,  Oo  the  reverse,  "A  table  expounding 
certeyne  wordes,"  5  pages,  ending  on  the  reverse 
of  L  7  with  this  imprint^  **  Emprented  at  Malborow 
in  the  Ian  |  de  of  Hesse  |  by  me  Hans  Luft;  |  the 
yere  of  onre  Lorde  bc.  |  axcc.  xxx.  the  .  irij  | 
dsyes  of  Jana  |  ary."  In  the  margins  there  are  no 
contents,  and  there  are  very  few  notes.  Only  this 
one  is  repeated  in  the  second  edition,  at  ch.  xxxU. 
ver.  9,  '*  Prayer  is  to  cleve  uuto  the  promises  of 
God  with  a  strong  fuith  and  to  beseech  God  with 
a  fervent  desire  that  he  will  fulfill  thera  for  his 
meroy  and  trnth  only.  As  Jacob  here  doth." 
There  are  no  contents  before  the  chaptera.  Ther» 
are  31  lines  on  D  i,  a  full  page,  and  the  page  of 
print  measures  4}  in.  by  2}  in.,  not  including 
the  betdline  in  either  case.  The  headline  la 
generally  thas,  **  Chspter,"  and  the  number  of  the 
chapter. 

Thi  Stcond  Edition,  1534,— This  votnme  is 
descnbed  from  a  copy  in  the  D.iptist  College 
Library,  Bristol. 

Collation.— The  8iz9  of  the  volume  is  8to.  The 
seam  wires  are  down  the  leaf.  The  title  is, 
"The  arste  |  Boke  of  Moses  called  |  Genesis 
Newly  I  correctyd  |  and  |  amendyd  by  |  \V.  T.  | 
MD.xxxnn."  There  are  four  woodcuts — on  one 
side  the  Tablea  of  Stnne,  on  the  other  the  Brazen 
Serpent,  at  the  top  the  aacrifice  of  Isaac,  at  the 
bottom  Moses  and  the  Kod  Sea,  The  eignatares 
are  in  eiebts,  A  to  L,  11  sheets,  occupying  88 
leaves.  The  last  of  A  is  folio  1;  the  last  leaf 
folioed  is  61,  L  8,  These,  with  the  first  7  leaves 
not  folioed,  are  Bd  leavea. 

Oontente.— The  title,  the  reverse  blank.  On 
A  ij  begins  "  Vnto  Ibe  reader  |  W.  T,"  11  pages, 
ending  on  A  7  recto.  The  address  to  the  reader 
difl;ers  from  that  in  the  first  edition.  It  is  chiefiy 
a  recommendation  to  the  reading  of  the  Scriptures 
"to  open  our  eyes,  &  to  make  ua  underetand 
and  feel  wherefore  the  Scriptnre  was  given  that 
we  may  apply  the  medicine  of  the  Scripture  every 
man  to  his  own  sores."  The  text  begins  on  A  7 
reverse,  ending  on  the  reverse  of  folio  81  with 
"  The  ende  of  the  first  boke  ofl'  |  Moses  called 
Genesis."  In  the  margin  there  are  throughout  the 
book  notes  and  contents.  This  note  is  placed  si 
ch.  iii.  ver.  14,  "  A  covenant  that  Christ  which 
came  of  Eve  and  was  her  seed,  should  overcome 
the  power  of  the  devil,  and  deliver  all  true  believers 
In  Christ  and  haters  of  the  devils  works,  from  all 
danger  of  satan,  of  ein  and  of  hell."  There  are  no 
contents  before  the  chapters.  There  are  30  lines 
on  D  1,  a  full  page,  the  psge  of  print  measuring 
4!  in,  by  Sj  in.,  not  including  the  headline  in  eilher 
case.  The' headline  is  generallj  thus,  "Genesis" 
on  the  reverse,  and  "  Chapter  "  and  the  number  on 
the  recto.

THE  RBPKE3ENTATI0X  OF  THE  HAIGS 
OF  BEMERSYDB. 
Mr.  Raasell,  in  his  hiatory  of  this  family,  pub- 
lished in  1881,  at  p.  396,  calU  Oal.  Haijt,  to 
whom  the  late  Misses  Haig  left  the  property,  **  tbe 
present  npresentative  of  the  Bemersyde  family.'' 
Id  a  tabular  pedigree,  p.  432,  and  in  a  fuller 
account  of  the  Haigs  of  Clackmannanshire,  p.  448^ 
he  is  shown  as  sixth  son  of  Robert  Haig^ 
who  wss  third  son  of  John,  the  second  son 
of  another  John,  who  was  second  son  of  James, 
the  third  son  of  George,  whose  grandfatiier, 
Robert,  was  resident  at  St.  Ninians  about  1630. 
Of  this  Robert  we  shall  have  more  to  say;  bat 
surely  the  claim  to  representation  is  rather  a 
singular  one,  ss  Mr.  Russell's  own  statement  shows 
some  dozens  of  persons  belooging  to  Col.  Haig^ 
family  who  are  senior  to  him.  The  main  line  of 
the  Haigs  floarished  at  Bemersyde  in  an  unbroken 
line  till  the  time  of  James  Haij?,  who  succeeded 
in  1602,  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  M'Dongall 
of  Stodrig,  and  in  1616  was  father  of  eight  sons 
and  two  daaghters,  and  had  afterwards  two  more 
sons  bom  to  him.  He  eeems  to  have  been  con- 
stantly in  financial  difBculties,  and  among  hia 
creditors  was  his  youoeer  brother  William,  a  snc- 
cessful  lawyer,  who  held  the  office  of  solicitor  to 
KiDga  James  L  and  Charles  I.,  but  died,  an  exile 
from  his  native  land  and  without  issue,  in  1639. 
In  1610  a  transaction  took  place  which  Mr. 
RusEcU  seems  to  have  misunderstood.  The  laiid 
disponed  Bemersyde  to  his  brother,  but  under  re- 
eerration  that  it  was  to  be  "  bolden  by  the  said 
James."  That  this  was  merely  as  a  security  for 
an  advance  of  money  is  shown  by  William  on  the 
foUowinp:  day  taking  out  letters  of  inhiUtion 
against  James  to  prevent  his  alienating  the  estate. 
A  violent  quarrel  between  the  brothers  after- 
wards took  place,  of  which  Mr.  Russell  gives  an 
interesting  account ;  James  brought  many  chatges 
against  his  brother,  they  were  both  committed  to 
prison,  and  in  1616  the  laird  actually  challenged 
the  lawyer  to  trial  by  combat,  but  this  monatioos 
dael  was  not  permitted.    James  went  abroad  in 

1618,  and  died  in  Germany  apparently  in  1623. 
His  son  and  snccessor  Andrew  is  dearly  showD 

to  have  succeeded  to  the  estate,  which  waa  not 
really  in  possession  of  Mr.  AVilUam  Hafff,  aa  Mr. 
Russell  supposes;  in  fact,  Andrew,  on  De&  14^ 

1619,  being  then  evidently  fiar  of  Bemersyde,  in- 
terdicted himself  from  selling,  wadsettingi  or 
offensive  intromitting  with  his  lands  without  the 
advice  and  consent  of  his  nnclev,  Alexandflr 
M'Dougall  of  Stodrig,  and  the  said  Mr.  WHliAiS 
Haig. 

Andrew  was  dead  in  May,  1627,  when  hb 
"  brother  and  heir,  or  at  the  least  appearand  haEr»* 
Robert  oonsented  to  a  transfer  of  oertaia  bondi  t»

with  the  younger  eons  of  the  centry  in  iho»e  dayv,  de- 
voted hiiiiMlf  to  agricultural  purtuiM." 

All  this  is  TSgue  and  theoretical,  and  the  state- 
ment  iu  the  ^enealo^y  preserved  at  Bemersyde, 
oomplled  in  1600  by  Obadiab  Uati;,  then  resident 
there  with  his  uncle  Anthony,  Iho  lainl,  ooupletely 
demolishes  the  theory  of  the  Ideatily  of  the  two 
Ilobert«. 

Anthony  of  Bemersyde  in  1690  was  a  roan  in 
Idle  prime  of  life,  son  and  heir  of  Darid  of  Bemer- 
•yde,  the  brother  of  Robert  He,  as  bead  of  the 
bmily  and  resident  on  the  estate,  must  surely  hare 
had  means  of  knowing  with  certainty  whut  be- 
name  of  his  uacltfs,  and  whether  any  of  them  left 
deaoendants.  Yet  he  allowed  and  helped  his 
aephev  to  compile  a  family  history,  in  which  it 
is  stated  that  Robert  and  seTeral  of  his  younger 
brothers  after  their  motber'a  seoond  marriage  went 
"  to  the  B  jhemian  wars  in  1C30,  and  there  sap- 
posed  to  be  lost." 

Thus  DAvid,  the  seventh  son,  cim3  into  posses- 
non  of  Benierayde,  and  in  his  marriage  contract, 
1JJ3<J,  is  deei^inated  David  Hai(;  of  Bem^rsyde. 
Anthony,  in  a  letter  written  in  1601  to  his  eldest 
son,  BATB,  *'  All  the  earthly  honour  yo  and  I  can 
pretend  to  is  that  we  are  corned  of  the  house  of 
Bemprsyde,  and  are  the  rfjuisenUtt  Ives  ot  out  noble 
predecessors."  The  account  above  given  of  the 
Heath  of  U'>bert  and  his  brothers  was  printed  in 
DotigWs  JJitTonage,  1708,  and  it  is  oniy  very  re- 
cently that  a  claim  has  been  set  up  by  the  Haiga 
of  rincktnannanshire  to  descend  from  that  Robert 
who  they  say  was  disinherited  by  Mr.  William 
Haiff,  who  wade  over  Bemersyde  to  Dtfcvld.  the 
•eventh  son.  What  William  really  seems  to  have 
()ooe  was  to  make  over  to  the  right  heir  certain 
bonds  or  wadsets. 

If  any  proof  exist  that  Robert,  resident  at  St. 
NioianB,  was  the  heir  in  lfi36  it  is  certainly  not 
IflreQ  in  The  Haigi  of  Bimertydt.       Inquirbr.

Krom  a  ref>ort  fj'ttuhjrovgh  Afhirtuir,  Jan.  £0, 
IbHZj  of  a  very  inCereaiiog  lecture  on  "Peter- 
borough Fifty  Yeara  A{;o,"  delirered  on  behalf  of 
the  St.  John's  Church  Institute  by  Mr.  Alderman 
Percivsil,  I  extrtct  the  following  03  worthy  of  pre- 
ucivulion  in  "N.  &</":— 

"When  I  came  t^t  the  ton  In  1533  th<  principal

Ilia  bill,  and  i:  ran  something  in  tbi^  manner  :  '  To  see-

pleased  with  that  epithet  "  ban-bepgar."  It  was 
jun  at  ih.tt  date,  1833-4,  that  he  was  beginning 
to  publish  those  t^kttcha  by  lJ>z  where  we  fiud

BRAorjAT  oi:  TJbackkt.— Mn.  Tiior.oLD  IiOgers 
flircs,  anf«,  p.  :jrj,  a  receipt  for  ninin.  Tliis  re- 
mindn  me  that  the  writer  of  an  able  article  on  the 
death  of  King  John  in  the  Joumalo(  the  Archn.v 
logical  Institute  for  1881  corroborates  the  old 
Haying  that  "  John  died  of  eating  peaches  and 
■irinking  new  ale,"  and  quotes  an  old  author  who 
attributes  his  illness  to  his  drinking  bracket ;  but 
as  he  (the  writer)  is  wholly  unable  to  find  out 
what  brackat  or  bracket  w:ut,  be  passes  that  by. 
This  is  unfortunate,  for  if  he  bad  asked  "  N.  &  Q'." 
he  would  have  found  the  liquor  was  very  much  to 
the  point.  I  suppose  brnggat  (or  however  it  should 
bo  B|K'lIcd)  is  as  obsolete  in  Lancashire  now  as  in 
other  places,  so  I  may  as  well  record  that  it  was 
new  ale  brcwcil  without  hops,  sweetened  with  sugar, 
and  spiced  with  clovofl,  and  gave  its  name  to  one 
of  the  Sundays  in  Lent,  as  "Carlin,"  "Simnel," 
&c ,  did,  those  Lenten  Sundays  being  devoted 
to  eating  and  drinking  to  make  amends  for  week- 
day fasts.  Ileal  snicc-brewed  braggat  I  never 
t.'wli'd,  but  the  ready  substitute,  new  ale  highly 
cloved,  sweetened,  and  drunk  hot,  I  can  say  was 
not  to  l)c  dcupiscd  bv  those  who  like  such  fkingi, 
1  fancy  it  has  dropped  nearly  out  of  memory  now, 
and  few  can  say  they  have  tasted  it.  P.  P. 

BiSHor  Sprat.— The  following  fact  may  inters 
•It  loue  of  your  hemldic  readers,    Thomas  Spmt, 


the  famous  BUbop  of  Rxhener.  appears  to  have

Ahhty^  account  of  EUhop  Sprat's  tomb  in  St.

'  Lord  Wolseley's  fan::Iy  Luve  not  always  used  the 
'  same  coat  of  arms  as  they  do  now.     The  coat, 

however,  on  Bishop  Spra:'s  tomb  is  not  menliuued 

either  by  Burke  or  Papworth.

AxoTHER  Wrinele  FOR  Bad  Siiots  (sec  6*^S. 
Ti.  220).— 

"  The  plains  of  Eiiran  in  Persia  swarm  with  quails,  of 
which  we  killed  great  numbers  around  our  camp.  The 
Persians  hunt  this  bird  in  a  very  curious  and  indeed 
successful  manner.  Tbey  slick  two  poles  in  thtir  girdle, 
upon  which  thcyplaceeiiher  their  outer  coat  or  a  pair  of 
trowsers,  and  tliese,  at  a  distance,  aie  intended  to  look 
like  the  horns  of  an  ar.iraal.  They  then  with  a  hand- 
not  prowl  about  the  lleliltf,  and  the  ijuail  Feeing  a  foim, 
more  like  a  beoEt  than  a  man,  permits  it  to  approach  fo 
ncarsM  to  allow  tho  hunter  to  throw  his  net  over  it 
The  rapidity  with  Mhich  the  Persians  caught  quails  in 
this  manner  was  astonishing,  and  we  had  daily  brought 
to  us  cages  full  of  them,  whicli  we  bought  for  a  trifle. 
In  onn  of  my  rambles  with  a  gun  I  met  a  shepherd  boy. 
who,  laughing  at  a  few  hirls  I  hhd  killed,  immediately 
erected  hia  homp,  and  soon  caufjht  more  alive  than  I  had 
killed. "—Moricr's  Stcohd  Jvuniey  thnvyh  Penia,  lSi2,

left  of  the  line  of  sl^ht  over  the  churches  of  those 
places,  is  m:irked  "  Zouche's  Pillar."  I  should 
imu^'ine  there  is  no  doubt  thit  the  beacon  tover 
near  Wokiotr,  which  is  represented  in  Brayley's 
HuUrry  of  Stinei/,  vol.  ii.  p.  26,  is  intende<1.  It 
WAS  sapposcd  to  biive  been  erected  by  Sii-  Edward

poie  of  fthoffiog  A  light  at  the  top  to  guide  mes* 
seDgers  over  the  be^bs  to  and  from  the  king  at 
Ciilandii.  Bniyley  t.ivs,  in  his  ZJu/orv  (published 
la  1611),  **  Strictly  f)|>eaking,  this  ia  not  a  turret. 
but  a  small  octagonil  tower,  surmounted 'by  a 
Untern  ;  but  it  cannot  now  be  ascenfled  on  account 
of  its  ruinous  condition."  Since  this  was  written 
tbe  tower  hiu,  I  believe,  been  takcu  down.  Cm 
any  of  the  readers  of  "N.  &  Q."  inform  me  when 
lbi«  was  tlone,  and  aUo  what  was  the  height  of  the 
tower  ?  The  mansion  of  tloe  Bridge,  in  tbe  grounds 
of  which  the  tower  wiu  (on  a  bill  at  a  small  dis* 
lance  to  the  north  of  the  hou?e),  wiia  taken  down 
by  Mr.  Walter,  who  bought  the  manor  of  Woking 
of  the  Iru'ttecsof  the  fumoua  (or  infamous)  Duchess 
of  CtevL>l;inJ,  and  another  wiva  erected  about  a  mile 
dint  lut  from  tbe  site,  and  partly  with  the  removed 
maleriul",  by  Jumet  K'luch,  the  last  heir  male  of 
bis  family,  who  died  in  170S. 

Bruyley  gives  the  ipelUng  Hou};h  Bridge  as  well 
ai  Hoe  Brid^'e.  I  preaijme  the  original  form  was 
Ha(ig)i  Bridi^e,  the  word  Hautjh  meaning  a  watery 
meadow.  The  place  is  near  a  tributary  stream  of 
the  Wcy,  where  it  pajMes  a  little  to  the  north  of 
the  riil.ijre  of  Woking.  W.  T.  Ltmm.

*'TiiE  BKfinAR  or  A>fwKRp.'* — Can  any  oda 
give  further  information  about  this  famoui  pictura 
by  &ayerii  It  represenla  a  deformed  man  in  thp 
costume  of  early  in  the  lost  ceatury,  a  greasy 
skull-capon  his  head,  and  a  ditto  oocked-hat  in 
his  hand,  a  pilgrim's  sluiT  io  tbe  other,  bandy  leg«, 
and  a  dog.  It  ia  said  to  be  of  immense  value ;  and 
a  copy  was  burnt  at  Cowdray,  in  Sussex.  The 
present  patntiog  is  in  a  venerable  Sussex  bouse, 
where  Cardinal  Langton  died,  a  few  miles  from 
Cowdray.  The  picture  is  life  the,  on  a  square 
canvas,  but  the  costume  is  too  modern  for  Snyers, 
I  think.  There  is  no  mistake  about  a  three-cornered 
greasy  old  cocked-bat  and  the  rest  of  the  dress. 
The  absence  of  9oap  and  water  is  beautifully  done  ; 
that  is  the  chnrm  of  it,  I  suppose.  There  is  aUo  ik 
wonderfully  painted  dirty  little  girl,  with  an  apple 
ill  her  paw,  looking  scared  at  the  beggar.  Per- 
mission to  examine  the  painting  would  be  given  to 
a  competent  authority.  Historicus. 

Dehham  Family,— In  174C  four  brothers  of 
the  name  of  Denhrtin  gathered  around  Charles 
Edward  Stuart  (culled  the  Young  Pretender) 
upon  tbe  Tield  of  Cullodon.  After  the  defeat  of 
Charles,  on  April  IG,  in  that  memorable  battle, 
the  four  brothers  tied  to  the  Iile  uf  Wight.  There 
one  of  them  remained,  while  the  other  three  sought 
sufety  elsewhere.  The  Dcnham  family  were  alwtiys 
faithful  followers  of  the  Stuarts,  and  even  to  the 
present  day  tbe  name  of  Henrietta  (after  the  namo 
of  the  queen  of  Charles  I.)  is  still  in  the  family. 
A  previous  Denbam  was  also  secretary  to 
Ch.arles  ![.,  I  believe.  I  want  to  know  the 
Christian  names  of  the  four  brothers,  together 
with  their  age^,  and  where  tbe  remaining  three 
settled,  and  whether  their  descendants  still  exist, 
and,  if  so,  where  ;  hlso,  what  the  history  and 
peiligree  of  the  Denbam  family  was  previous  to 
IT-l'*);  and,  finally,  their  crest  and  motto,  together 
with  anything  else  of  interest  conoeoted  with  the 
family.  Offik.

A    Book    or    CorritTi  -  tlatks    bt    David 
DELTctiAEt.. — A    few  monthly   sLoce   I  purchased  a 
book  of  copper  *  plates  by  David  Deuchar»  done 
from   the  original  designs  by  Holbein,  known  as 
**The  Dances  of  Death."    According  to  the  title- 
pa^e  of  my  book  it  was  printed  by  3.  GoaneU  ffft 
John  Scott  and  Thomas  Odtell,  both  of  London, 
m    the    year  3803.      It    contains   fifty  copper* 
plates ;    the    title-pnge,    howerer,   describes   the 
work   as  consisting  of  only  forty-eix  plates,  to 
which    number,    and    no    more,   tetterpr«u  de- 
scriptions  id   English  and  French  are  prefixed. 
The    book     is     interleaved     throughout     with 
blank    pages.      Each   picture    is    enclosed   in  » 
double   LltuBtrated    border^   of    which    thore   are, 
however,  only  three  or  four  varieties.    The  atve  *f 
the  book  is  quarto.     Now,  since  puiking  this  pnr- 
chase  I  bare  seen  another  book  which,  with  cer- 
tain exceptioDft,  is  an  exact  counterpart  of  mine. 
The  exceptiong    I   have  noticed  are  aa  follows : 
L  The  type  and  arrangement  of  the  lit]e-p«^ ; 
2,  The  name  of  the  printers,  who  are  W.  Smith 
&  Co.;  3.  Omission  of  one  plate/' Death's  Arms"; 
4.  A  slight  variation  in  the  order  of  the  pUtei; 
&.  The  omission  of  the  double  border  enclosiog 
each  plEite,  which,  I  may  observe  I  hare  seen  men- 
tioned as  one  of  the  Bpecial  characteristics  of  tbo 
original  design!).     Kow,  as  this  difTerenc^  between 
two  works  which  are  in  other  respects  entirely 
alike  has  perpleiced  myself  nnd  my  frlenda,  IshaU 
feel  obliged  if  you  or  some  of  your  learned  con-

of  these  works  is,  or  whether  both  may  be  con*

TUE  Ul'TIIVEM  PEEaAOE. 
(6*S.  vii.  b7.) 
Mr.  Foster,  in  his  Parage  for  1893,  has  made 
t)>iue  eturniients  of  a  remarkable  nature  as  to  the 
•«trs«ttoa  of,   and   succession   to.   the   above  title. 
Ilad    ho    possessed  a  slight    acquaintaDce   with 


Scottish  peemge  law,  or  mnde  a  little  investiga- 
tion in  the  local  records,  he  would  hardly  have 
blundered  so  plaringly. 

The  Ruthven  succession  is  curious,  and  fans 
been  so  misunderstood  by  peerage  writers  in 
general— although  not  one  of  them  hoa  gone  bo 
very  far  astray  as  Mr.  Foster — that  I  venlure  to 
otTer  a  bketch  of  the  real  slate  of  the  citse^  in  reply 
to  the  fjuery  of  Igxoramcs. 

But,  in  the  find  place,  it  may  be  aa  well  to 
expUin  that  Mr.  Foater'a  wild  theory  of  a  peerage 
of  Scotland,  whether  for  life,  or  *'  by  courtesy,"  or 
a  **  coronation  barony, **  created  by  mammons  to  a 
coronation  by  George  I.  or  George  11.,  teste  on  no  ■ 
bobis  whatever. 

In  England  a  barony  could  be  created  by 
summons  to  Parliament,  but  it  would  be  an 
hereditrtiy  peerage.  In  Scotland  peerages  were 
Brat  creitted  by  charter,  afterwards  by  patent, 
never  by  Eiummons.  Bub  this  is  immaterial  in 
the  present  instance,  as,  after  the  Vuion  in  1707, 
it  w;w  ultra  vire*  of  the  Crown  to  cre.ite  a  Scotcli 
|)eeMc:e  at  all.  Sir  Thomas  Ruthven  ot  Frceland 
was  knighted  at  Dalkeith,  July  12,  1633,  and 
created  Lord  Ruthven  by  Charles  II,  in  1G51. 
January  3  Lb  the  date  in  a  MS.  list  of  patents  of 
peerage,  but  as  Sir  Thomas  sat  in  ParliAment 
March  31  as  representative  of  the  county  of 
Perth,  and  not  as  a  peer  till  May  34,  it  is  pro- 
bable that  this  refers  to  the  warrant,  and  that 
the  date  of  the  patent  is  a  little  later. 

Owing,  perhaps,  to  the  disturbed  state  ofoff.iirs, 
the  patent  wns  not  recorded  in  Ihe  Great  Seal  Re- 
gister at  the  time.  That  omission  was  not  after- 
wards remeilied,  and  unfortunately  the  original 
patent  perished  when  Freeland  House  was  burnt 
in  1750.  That  the  limitation  was  wider  than  to 
heirs  male  of  the  body,  and  included  heirs  general, 
or  gave  a  po^er  of  nomination,  there  c^o  be  no 
doubt,  because  the  male  line  had  f:iiled,  and  a 
femnle,  who  was  not  the  heir  of  line,  was  in 
possession  to  1707,  when  the  title  was  placed  on 
the  Union  roll  The  Baroness  Kulhven  was 
summoned  to  the  coronations  in  171-1  and  1727, 
and  in  1740  the  title  was  recognized  without  the 
expression  of  any  doubt  in  the  report  of  the  Lords 
of  Session  on  the  peerage  of  Scotlaud,  being  at  the 
time  held  by  successiou  through  two  females. 

James,  then  Lord  Rathven,  voted  at  nearly  all 
the  elections  of  representative  peers  after  his  auo- 
cesaion  in  1732  till  his  death  in  17S3. 

The  first  lord  died  in  May,  1673.  Erodie,  in 
hia  Diary,  calls  him  "  the  good  lord,"  and  adds 
that  he  was  "in  some  distemper  of  roehincholy 
and  his  ttffaira  not  iu  good  order."  He  had  four 
children  : — 

1.  David,  second  lord,  died  unmarried  in  April, 
1701.

Ayr,  Bart.,  who  died  in  April,  1671 ;  Bcco&dly, 
"William  Cunningluini,  of  Graigends,  co.  B«nfrew, 
by  whom  she  hod  no  iasae ;  and  was  dead  in 
March,  1689.  Her  only  child,  Sir  William  Cud- 
ninKliitm,  fiart.,  assumed  the  additional  surname 
of  Riithven  as  senior  coheir  to  the  representation 
of  Ihut  family,  but  was  excluded  from  succession 
to  the  peerage  by  the  second  lord.  He  died  with- 
out inBue  before  his  aunt  Jean,  Lady  Buthyen. 

3,  Elizabeth,  married  her  kinsman  Sir  Francis 
Kuthven,  of  Redcastle,  co.  Forfar,  and,  dying 
before  1674,  left  an  only  child  Isabel,  who  in  1729 
succeeded  to  the  barony  and  estites  on  the  death 
of  her  aunt  Jean,  Lady  Ruthven.  She  married 
Cul.  James  Johnston,  of  Graitney,  co.  Dumfries, 
who,  as  early  as  1723,  at  any  rate,  hod  assumed 
the  additional  surname  of  Ruthrcn.  Her  ladyship 
(Mr.  Foster  in  one  place  names  her  Elizabeth, 
apparently  confusing  the  mother  and  daughter) 
died  in  June,  1732,  and  was  succeeded  by  her 
eldest  SOD  James,  Lord  Ruthven,  from  whom  the 
Dresent  lord  is  directly  descended. 

4.  Jean,  Baroness  Ruthven,  succeeded  her 
orother  under  the  deed  of  entail  and  nomination 
executed  by  him.  This  is  the  lady  who  was 
recognized  as  a  peeress  by  Kings  George  J.  and  II., 
not  created  a  peeress.  Mr.  Foster,  while  professing 
to  throw  new  light  on  the  history  of  the  family, 
totally  omits  all  mention  of  her  ladyship,  who 
ranked  as  a  peeress  for  twenty-eight  years,  puts 
her  niece  Isabel  in  her  place,  and  says  that  Thomas, 
Lord  Ruthren,  bad  only  two  daughters,  although 
Orawfard,  Douglas,  and  Wood  all  state  correctly 
that  there  were  three. 

To  account  for  this  abnormal  successioD  we  must 
return  to  the  second  lord.  It  is  well  known  that 
for  a  considerable  time  before  the  Union  peers  of 
Scotland  sometimes  had  power  given  them  in  their 
patents  to  nominate  heirs  to  succeed  to  their  titles 
along  with  their  estates  ;*  also  that  they  occasion- 
ally resigned  their  honours  into  the  hands  of  the 
sovereign  and  obtained  a  regrant  with  a  special 
remainder.  We  do  not  now  know  the  exact  tenor 
of  the  Ruthven  patent,  but  it  evidently  contained 
Hoiiie  huch  chiufic.  In  1674  David,  Lord  Ruthven, 
executed  an  entail  of  his  entire  estates,  mentioning 
that  they  had  "come  to  my  hands  be  derivation 
from  my  carefull  predecessors,  and  that  be  my 
infeirnu'nlii  thereof  standiog  Id  my  person  I  have 
full  privilege  and  power  at  any  time  during  my 
lifetime  to  nominate  and  design  by  my  declaration 
iubscrived  with  my  hand  in  presence  of  famous 
witnpwie.i  the  person  or  persons  nne  or  mae  whom 
I  would  have  to  succeed  to  me  therein  iuccmive 
(fttil^ing  heirs  lawfully  to  be  begotten  of  my  own 
bodie),'*  &0.  "  Therefore,  and  for  the  special  love 
aad  favour  which  I  bear  to  Mn.  Jean  Ruthven,

my  yoangest  sister,"  as  he  tells  as.  Lord  Ruth- 
ven entaued  the  estates  on  Jean  and  the  heirs 
male  of  her  body,  who  were  to  assume  "  the  sur- 
name and  arms  of  Ratfaveo,  using  the  same  with- 
out any  change  thereof;  whom  failing  on  her 
heirs  female,  the  eldest  to  succeed  without  division; 
Dame  Anna  Rnthven,  Lady  Craigends,  and  tho 
heirs  male  of  her  body  ;  Isabella,  daughter  of  Sir 
Francis  Ruthven,  of  Redcastle,  Knight,  and  the 
deceased  Dame  Elizabeth  Rnthven,  his  second 
sister.  There  are  other  relatives  of  the  entailer 
named  as  substitutes,  and  all  are  taken  bound  to 
bear  and  use  his  surname  and  arms.  Lady  Ruthr 
Ten  is  to  pay  her  sister  Lady  Graigends  4,(XK> 
marks  and  her  niece  Uabella  Ruthven  6,000;  if 
Lady  Cratsends  succeed  she  is  to  pay  Isabella 
15,000.  The  title  was  evidently  destined  to  pas» 
along  with  the  estates,  and  did  so ;  Jean,  as  Lady 
Ruthven,  was  served  heir  of  entail  and  provision 
of  her  brother. 

Crawfurd,  in  hts  Peerage,  made  the  mistake  of 
calling  it  extinct,  but  this  is  corrected  in  a  MS. 
genealogy  of  the  Ruthvens  by  him  thus  :  "  David, 
Lord  Ruthven,  died  unmarried ;  his  estates  and 
honours  came  to  his  sister,  now  Lady  Ruthven. 
Sir  William  Cunningham,  of  Cunninghamhead,  i» 
heir  presumptive.'' 

Supposing  that  the  right  of  Jean,  Lady  Ruthven^ 
was  questionable,  no  such  doubt  rests  on  the 
succession  after  her  death,  as  ail  the  subsequent 
holders  of  the  honour  were  heirs  of  line  of  the 
original  grantee.  T.  T. 

The  Festival  op  the  Pope's  Chair  (G**  S- 
vii.  47,  72,  90). — Two  festivals  are,  or  have  beeov 
celebrated  at  Rome  in  honour  of  the  "  Cathednb 
Petri  "^one  on  January  18,  the  other  on  February 
22;  the  latter,  according  to  De  Rossi,  as  the  feast 
of  "  Cathedra  Petri  in  Antiochia."  The  existing 
chair  was  exhibited  in  1866,  and  was  then  photo- 
graphed. It  was  carefully  examined  by  Padre 
Garrucci  and  Cav.  De  Rossi,  both  antiquaries  of 
the  highest  eminence,  especially  as  regards  all  that 
concerns  Rome.  I  wrote  a  memoir  upon  it,  which 
was  read  before  the  Society  of  Antiquaries  in  1868y 
and  published  in  1870  as  part  of  the  "  Yetuata. 
Monnmenta"to  accompany  plates  engraved  from- 
drawings  one  in  Windsor  Castle  the  other  in  tho 
sacristy  of  the  Vatican.  In  this  memoir  is  also* 
aD  engraving  from  the  photograph.  Unfortunatelyr 
this  laist  was  very  indistinct  as  regards  details,  the- 
light  in  the  chapel  where  it  was  photographed 
having  been  very  bad.  The  chair  in  question  ia 
clearly  neither  a  curule  chair  (as  has  been  asserted^ 
nor  a  bishop's  cathedra,  but  a  throne;  and  Ridre 
Qarruoci  expreasea  a  very  strong  opinion  that  it

Ktuck  on  to  the  chair  by  wuy  of  ornamcDt.  That 
it  bears  an  Arabic  inscription  ia  a  fable  which  ha^ 
been  Already  often  exploded.  It  originated  from  the 
f4Ct  that  in  the  church  of  S.  Pietro  in  Castello,  in 
Venice,  is  a  marble  cathedra,  the  back  of  which  has 
been  formpd  from  a  Mohammedan  gravestone.  I 
fehonld,  perhaps,  say  that  the  legendary  account  of 
the  chair  is  that  it  was  the  curuie  chair  of  Pudeoii, 
given  by  him  to  St.  Peter,  and  used  by  the  hitler 
;is  u  cathedra.  This  was  the  orthodox  account  of 
the  chair,  and  Cardinrd  Wiseman  wrote  a  pnper  in 
defence  of  its  prob.ibility.  A  small  book  was  pub- 
lUhcd  nt  Rome  in  1666,  written  by  Afonaignor

Miss  BnsK's  reply  {anU^  p.  72)  is,  so  far  as  it 
goes,  a  very  satisfactory  answer  to  the  note  of  Mn. 
Platt.  and  I  have  rend  it  with  much  pleasure. 
A  little  more  infonualion  about  this  venerable 
relic,  however,  may  not  be  unacceptable  to  the 
readers  of  "  N.  &  Q."  A  full  account  of  it  may  be 
found  in  a  note  of  the  appendix  to  Messrs.  Brown- 
low  and  Northcote'a  Jioma  Sottervania.  In  the

(tan'a  "amuainj*  blunder,"  then  toDe  Kosai'a  actual

of  the  chair,  which  ia  too  long  to  quote  in 
detail.  The  ivory  omameDts,  with  the  labours 
*)f  Hercules  and  other  Bubjects  engraved  upon 
tfaeui,  are  next  described,  and  it  a  told  bow  some 
of  them  are  put  upside  down,  and  their  present 
nte  »  evidently  not  that  for  which  they  were 
originally  intended.  The  style  of  the  carving  and 
of  the  arabesques  on  certain  of  the  plates  correspond 
with  the  age  of  Charlemagne^  while  the  labours  of 
Qervulet  are  of  much  more  ancient  date,  not,  how- 
«Ter,  De  Rossi  thinks,  as  old  as  the  first  century.

I  not  a   marshiil  of 


adopting  his  hypothesis  that  this  was  the  ivory 
curuie  chair  of  the  senator  Pudens,  yefc  the  most 
rigid  criticism  has  nothing  to  object  against  tbe 
traditional  antiquity  of  the  oak  framework  of  this 
chair.  When  the  inner  part  of  aoacia  was  added 
and  adorned  with  bands  of  irory,  the  ancient  iTorie« 
which  cover  the  front  would  appear  to  have  been 
put  on;  and  they  remark  that  it  is  not  at  all  un- 
common to  meet  with  copies  of  the  Gospels,  reliqua- 
ries, and  other  valuable  works  of  the  early  mediaeval 
period  which  are  ornamented  with  ivories  repre- 
senting subjects  of  pagan  mythology.  The  second 
piut  of  the  note  gives  the  historical  notices  of  St. 
Peter's  chair,  but  for  this  the  Roma  SotUrtnntti 
itaelf  must  be  consulted.  I  have  quoted  from  the 
first  edition  of  1869  ;  a  second  has  since  been 
published.  In  conclusion,  tbe  learned  authors  say 
that  from  an  historical  and  archaeological  point  of 
view  they  consider  themselves  justi6ed  in  regard- 
ing ns  true  the  venerable  title  which  a  living  Iradi' 
tion  lias  never  failed  to  give  to  the  "chair  of  Sk

vi.  166,  334).— Nearly  forty  years  ago  I  was  re- 
aidinjr  iu  the  Dukenca  in  Nottinghamshire,  and 
I  recollect  hearing  a  poor  woman  speak  of  Shrove 
Tuesday  as  Fasten  Tuesday,  as  if  it  were  com- 
monly designated  by  that  title  in  the  neighbour- 
hood. The  reason  of  its  being  so  called  could  not 
have  been  that  it  was  the  day  for  hiring  or 
*'  fastening "  servants  for  a  year,  aa  your  corre- 
spondent T.  P.  B.  supposes,  for  it  was  not  so  to 
the  best  of  my  recollection ;  but  it  was  much 
observed  as  a  popular  holiday,  the  boys  playing 
at  football,  and  in  the  evening  the  public-houses 
being  resorted  to  for  dancing. 

The  old  carnival  maintains  a  lingering  existence 
among  our  country  folk  more  widely,  I  suspect, 
than  is  commonly  supposed,  though  the  fasting  of 
which  it  was  once  the  prelude  is  now  generally  a 
thing  of  the  past.  In  Somersetshire,  also,  Shrove 
Tuesday  is  atill  to  some  degree  a  holiday,  and 
doubtless  a  few  generations  back  wai  much  more 
kept  than  it  is  now.  In  a  parish  in  the  latter 
county,  vith  which  I  have  been  more  recently 
fionnectedy  ten  shiUingv  n«ed  always  to  be  paid  to 


the  clergyman  for  preaching  a  sermon  on  ShTove 
Tuesday,  in  fulfilment  of  a  bequest  made  some  time 
in  the  last  century.  I  was  told  by  the  oldest  in- 
habitant of  the  parish  that  the  original  object  of 
this  institution  was  to  counteract  the  attractions 
of  cock-fighting,  which  used  to  be  the  favourite 
pastime  of  the  parishioners  on  that  day.  Bat  I 
have  never  heard  of  *'  Fasten  Tuesday  "  in  Somer- 
setshire. Perhaps  other  instances  of  the  use  of 
the' term  may  be  known  to  some  of  your  corre- 
spondents. G.  B.  W.  O.

The  Antiquitt  of  "Krikgbspirl"(6**' S.  vi. 
387). — The  idea  of  the  modem  kneg$8pi€l  is  pro- 
bably borrowed  from  the  ancient "  Indus  latmn- 
culomm"  or  "xii  scripta"  of  the  Bomansr 
described  by  Ovid  as  the  game  that  '*  imitates  the 
tactics  of  war "  (Art.  Am.  ii.  S51).  The  learned 
Salmasius  adduces  an  epigram  of  an  early  date 
(Ad  Uiit  AiiguU.,  p.  464)  which  attributes  its  in- 
vention to  Palamedes  {v.  Eurip.,  7^^.  tn  Aid.,  198)y 
who  first  ranged  an  army  in  line  of  battle  and 
placed  sentinels  around  a  camp  to  give  the  watch- 
word (B.C.  1164).  The  mention  in  the  epigram  of 
Mucins  Scoevola's  superior  skill  in  this  mimic  war- 
fare (b.c.  506)  is  confirmed  hj  Cicero  (2><  Orai.,  L 
c.  50)  and  Quintilian  (UK  xi.  c.  ii.).  The  precise 
nature  of  the  game  is  not  known  ;  decidedly  it  was 
not  chess,  but  intended  to  represent  the  move- 
ments on  a  battle-field  or  the  furtive  stratagems 
of  a  siege.  The  squares  were  termed  polis,  a  city, 
or  c^ora,  a  region,  or  mandra^  an  enclosure  ;  and 
the  men,  /a/rr>nes  or  latnmcitU  (mercenary  troops), 
milites,  or  beUaiorei,  and  were  thirty  in  number, 
fifteen  of  which  were  white  and  fifteen  red.  The 
skill  of  the  game  consisted  either  in  taking  the 
pieces  of  the  adversary  or  rendering  them  unable 
to  move  (**ad  incitas  redacti").  A  player  by 
bringing  his  adversary's  man  between  two  of  bis 
own  ("Medius  gemino  caloulns  hoste  perit,"  Or.t 
ZWfl,  il  477)  was  so  far  eueoeeiftil,  ami  Um  move,

—  I  'Jo  not  think  that  Barnstaple  old  church  has 
anyti.in;;  to  fear  at  its  restoring  archiz^c'.'s  bac-is. 
1  riiii'ji/iW  that  when  the  late  Sir  Gilbert  Sci:: ' 
WU1  cilled  in  ^about   l%Cb  or  before;   the  good  j 
|j4%ple  of  Barnstaple  were  anxious  to  get  rid  of ! 
»h*;ir  'juaint  lead-corered,  crooked  epire,  hat  S:r ' 
^*ilh*:rt,   with    true    coniferratire    spirit,   stoutly ; 
fii\\'^\i\,  iuT  its  retention.    When  the  chancel  was 
refttor«:d  all  the  charming  old  mnral  monameots 
w*T()  very  carefully  repaired  by  Mr.  Henry  Cane, 
this  clerk  of  the  works.      The   present  work  is 
hein;(  carried  out  by  Mr.  John  Oldrid  Scott,  and  all 
old  work  in  being  well  cared  for.    The  pulpit  only 
daic»  from  1821,  and  A.  J.  Bl.  most  be  mistaken 
in  fiiippoaing  that  there  is  anything   interesting 
u\,r,\\K  it.     It  ia  to  be  regretted  that  the  old  date 
Wi'.iit  seems  to  have  been  removed,  but  A,  J,  M. 
r.An  hardly  understand  how  much  architects  and 
others,  who,  like  myself,  are  connected  with  church 
rfHtonitions,  have  to  fight  against.     The  apathy  of 
Kouie  of  the  clergy  ia  most  lamentable.     Here  is 
an  instance,  and  one  which  I  think  deserves  to  be 
ri'porded. 

In  lH8r>  it  happened  that,  from  instructions 
ri-cfivftd  from  Mr.  w.  K.  Ashworth,  the  architect, 
I  rffiov.-ilfd  tho  clmncel  of  St.  Michael's,  Honiton.

iii(;i,  Ifiit  it  had  n  nmrkiid  individual  character

I  declared  itaxdily  that  it  was  imposible,  that  it

"Double"  Mosasteries  (6**  S.  t.  407  ;  vi. 
18,  165,  216,  350}.— I  find  that  to  the  Gilbertinc» 
there  should  be  added  the  order  of  St.  Brigitte, 
founded  br  a  priacess  of  Sweden  in  honour  of  the 
Virgin  inthethirtcenLhceutury.  Her  convents  were 
intended  to  shelter  sixty  nans  and  thirteen  monks ; 
uome  of  the  latter  were  priests  for  the  service  of 
I  he  church,  and  others,  perhaps,  menial  serranbi. 
But  the  most  remarkable  monastery  of  this  charac- 
ter waa  unquestionably  that  of  Foul^vrault,  which 
W.1S  not  only  "  double,"  but  governed  by  un  abheu, 
generally  of  hiKh  birth.  It  was  founded  by  Ilobert 
d'Arbriastl,  a  Breton  monk,  in  1099,  and  lasted  till 
the  French  Revolution.  It  followed  the  rule  of 
St.  Benedict,  and  consisted  of  four  separate  estab- 
ILshments,— a  house  for  seventy  monks  ;  another, 
called  the  "Grand  Moutier,"  for  widows  and 
virgins  ;  a  third,  called  "  St.  Loz&rus,"  for  leprous 
women,  and  &  fourth,  dedicated  to  the  M:ig- 
dalen,  for  penitents.  It  became  a  great  place  of 
education  for  the  daughters  of  the  French  noblesse. 
and  in  its  principal  church  our  Henry  II ,  Richard 
Ccfiur  de  Lion,  and  others  of  princely  race  fouud 
sepulture. 

It  still  exists  as  "  a  house  of  detention  for  both 
sexes  "  and  state  prison.  The  monastery  of  St. 
Sulpice,  in  Britanny,  resembled  that  of  Fonl*!vrauIt 
in  some  of  its  arrangements.

H.  iv.  98,  217).  —  Giiribay  was  a  celebrated 
chronicler  of  the  uiiddle  of  the  sixteenth  century. 
He  got  into  disfavour  with  the  Inquisition,  being 
charged  with  witchcrafts  and  had  to  fly.  His  trial 
was  thus  never  concluded,  and  as  he  was  neither 
condemned  nor  acquitted  it  was  said  that  his  soul 
could  be  neither  iu  heaven  nor  in  hell.  Garibay's 
house  remained  a  long  time  uninhabited  after  his 
death  on  account  of  noises  which  were  heard  there, 
said  to  be  caused  by  his  wandering  soul.  It  was 
this  circumstance  which  gave  rise  to  the  proverb 
quoted  at  the  former  reference  ;  an  equfilly  com- 
mon variant  sayn,  "Estarcomo  el  almadeGaribay 
que  ni  pena  ui  gloria"  (which  neither  suffers  nor

One  of  your  corre.opondents  has  already  pointed

Hekrt  Marten,  the  Regicide  (6**  S.  iv. 
449;  V.  50,  196,  291,  474).— The  biographer  of 
Henry  Marten  will  obtain  a  wonderful  insight  into 
his  character  by  a  perusal  of  the  Royalist  news* 
papers  of  the  period,  1648-50.  He  appears  to 
have  been  the  especial  aversion  of  the  news-letter 
writers  on  the  king's  side,  the  climax  of  scurrility 
being  reached  whenever  they  had  him  for  a  topia 
A  very  bitter  reference  to  Harry  Marten,  "the 
city  bull,"  appears  in  Mefcurius  Aulicnt  of 
Thursday,  February  17,  1648  (No.  3),  a  propo$  of 
the  declaration  of  Lords  and  Commons  touching 
the  resolution  to  make  no  farther  address  or  appli- 
cation to  the  king. 

Marten's  Christian  name  was  Harry,  not  Henry. 
He  especially  alluded  to  this  during  his  trial  with 
the  regicides.  Finding  that  he  was  described  as 
"  Henry  Marten,"  he  objected  to  the  trial,  on  the 
ground  that  he  was  not  even  mentioned  in  the  in- 
dictment ;  but  the  judges  over-ruled  the  point

THE  FAMILY  OP  LOWE  OF  DERBYSHIRE. 

In  tbe  sixth  fdition  of  tho  Landed  Gmtry,  Sir 
Bernard  Burke  i^  somewhat  UDfortunate  us  regards 
fats  account  of  this  fatuily ;  but  no  doubt,  whea 
biB  Rttention  is  called  to  (be  iuaccaracies,  he  viU 
faare  them  corrected  at  the  earliest  opportanity. 

The  copy  made  by  Wolley  of  a  certain  docn- 
meat  in  do  way  indicates,  as  Sir  Bernard,  when 
citing;  it  (ii.  991),  Bsaumes,  that  the  three  persons 
of  flimilar  names  meutioned  were  brothers,  or, 
indeed,  related  at  all.  Moreover,  they  are  not  all 
alike  styled  in  it  "del  Lowe,"  as  we  are  further, 
bnt  erroneously,  informed  oti  the  same  page. 

The  Lowes  of  Derbyshire  descended  &om  two 
of  three  brothers,  who  were  Li^nrence  Low  (ser- 
jeant-at-law), Thomas  Low,  and  George  Low.  No 
documentary  evidence  yet  produced  makes  men- 
Uon  of  any  other  brothers.  On  the  contrary, 
what  does  exist  implies  that  there  were  no  more, 
^though,  beside  them,  there  may  have  been  a 
aister.     This  evidence  stands  thus  on  the  record  :

of  the  "auoient  Cheebire  stock  of  the  family  of

of  the  Mioeatry  of  this  family  by  others  bearing  a 
similar  name  ia  fnmiabed  by  the  popular  belief 
that  these  bumi  fide.  Sbropahiro  Lowes  were  kins- 
m«a  to  John  Lowe,  the  renowned  Bishop  of

Further,  it  is  not  shown  that  the  stuRle  branch 
of  this  family  which  contiouod  until  modem  times, 
namely,  that  seated  at  Locko  in  Derbyshire,  died

These  last  worda  may  well  be  emphasized  in  thee» 
days,  when  considerations  of  taste  in  monumental 
art  threaten  the  remoral  of  memorials  which,  how- 
ever they  may  fall  short  of  ipathetie  ideAl.«,  are 
none  the  less  precious  to  the  kinsmen  of  the 
departed  heroes.  CapU  William  Blair's  mortal' 
remains  were,  by  hia  own  request,  committed  to 
the  deep;  and  it  ia  interesting  to  note  that  tfae> 
sculptor  who  executed  tbe  monument  obtaineil 
sittings  for  the  medallion  of  the  deceased  from 
his  brother,  Capt,  Thomas  Blair,  H.E,rC.S.,  of 
Walton  Grove,  Surrey. 

William  Blair  was  unmnrried,  bnt  his  brothers^ 
Thomas  Blair,  of  Walton  Grove,  and  LieaL- 
Gonenil  Sir  Robert  Blair,  K.C.B.,  both  left  a 
nnmerona  progeny,  who,  to  ase  the  words  applied 
by  Charles  II.  to  Home  of  tbe  same  family,  "  have 
been  emulary  of  tbe  virtues  of  their  nncestora. 
It  ifl  not  a  little  remarkable  that  of  the  twelve 
mole  descendants  of  tbe  above  two  officen  who 
reached  the  nge  of  manhood,  all,  without  excep- 
tion, served  their  country  in  tbo  Indian  empire, 
while  three  Miea  of  the  family  fell  victims  to  tha 
mnrderous  treachery  of  the  natives  at  Cawnpore:. 
The  family  is  a  branch  of  the  ancient  family  of 
Blair  of  Baltbayock  and  Balgillo,  and  is  probably 
the  only  branch  with  unbrokpn  mnle  descent. 
William  Thomas  Blair,  H.E.I.C.S.,  eldest  son  of 
Capt.  T.  Blair  of  Walton  Grove,  died  at  Twicken 
ham  in  1881  at  tbe  ripe  age  of  eigbty-eight, 
having  been  for  many  years  tbe  chief  of  the  whole 
race  of  Blair,  according  to  the  dictum  of  one  of 
the  kings  of  Scotland,  who,  on  a  question  of  pre- 
cedence was  unable  to  decide  whether  the  Blaii* 
of  Perth  or  Ayr  were  tbo  oldest  family,  and  «o 
pronounced  that  the  age  of  the  chiefs  for  the  tinii

We  bear  oo  more  of  Qervase  Marshall  till  after 

the  AeetoratioD.     What  became  of    him  in    tbe 

time:  and  wa«  John  Stanbank  a  relative  of 


his  ?  John  Gregory  probably  was,  as,  if  X  am  not 
mistaken,  he  was  tbe  father  of  Anne,  wife  of  Ger- 
vase Sbipman,  brother  of  Thomas  Shipman,  of 
Scarrington,  who  presented  Gervase  Marshall  to 
the  living  of  Whatton,  September  II,  16C2.  it 
being  then  vacant  by  the  death  of  the  last  iocum- 
bent  (iDBtitation  Book  at  York).  When  Marshall 
was  first  presented  to  Whatton  the  putron  was 
Thomas  Shipmao,  grandfather  of  the  above  Thomw. 
Ilis  daughter  Elizabeth  married  Richard  Marshall, 
of  Brandon,  co.  Lincoln,  of  tbe  same  family  as 
Qervase,  but  what  the  exact  reUtionahip  of  the 
one  to  tbe  other  was  I  am  unable  to  state  ;  it  is  a 
point  I  ahoold  much  like  information  upon. 

Both  Richard  Marshall  and  Thomas  Shipman 
were  on  the  Royalist  side,  and  though  Gervase*a 
name  does  not  occur  in  Walker's  Sufferingt 
(if  tlu  Clergy^  and  his  restoration  to  the  bene- 
fice took  pldoe  on  the  death  of  the  last  incum- 
bent, it  la  difficult  to  assign  any  other  reason  for 
bis  not  being  incumbent  from  IG^O  to  1662  than 
th«  supposition  that  he  was  a  Royalist  It  is  worth 
noting  that  the  registers  of  Whatton  were  not  kept 
during  his  absence  from  the  living. 

I  have  already  noticed  the  baptism  of  his  eldest 
son  before  the  Commonwealth  ;  bis  youngrst  chtld 
was  baptized  at  Whatton  after  his  re^tonition  to 
the  living :  "  Mary  y  daughi'  of  Mr.  Gervas  and 
Elizabeth  Marsbaltwas  BaptizI  12day  of  January, 
1662"  (i.e.  1GG2  3).  Ilis  wife  died  soon  after: 
"  Elizabeth  y*  wife  of  Gervas  Marshall,  vicar  of 
this  church,  was  buried  y«  30**^  day  of  novemb. 
being  S'  Andrewea  day,  in  j*  Year  of  o'  Lord 
1063."  Gervase  Marshall  was  buried  at  Wbatton, 
March  21,  167!ty6.  Uis  will  was  proved  by  hii 
son  Thomas  in  the  Consistory  Court  at  York.  The 
following  is  a  verbatim  copy  of  the  original : —

French   Rhtmm  ly  English  Pobms.— It  is 

Gurioas  to  aeo  bow  commoaly  our  older  poets, 
vhen  nsing  a  French  won!  at  the  end  of  a  line, 
utterly  ignored  its  true  souLd,  and  chose  aa  a 
thymo  to  it  an  English  word,  perhaps  resembling 
the  foreign  one  merely  in  spelling,  but  more 
freqaently  not  even  haviDg  that  eicnae.  Our 
be^t  poeU  offer  instances  of  these  atrango  attempts 
ftt  rhyme,  showing  how  little  French  they  knew, 
or  expected  their  readers  to  know.  "  Pope,"  says 
Warburton,  "removed  to  liondon  to  learn  French 
nod  ItaliaOj  and  mastered  these  two  hinguagea 
with  gurpriaing  despatch."  If  he  mastered  French 
grammar,  ho  certainly  did  not  master  the  pro- 
nnncialion.  In  the  Eape  of  the  Lock  ho  makes 
"shining  rows"  rhyme  to  " billet  doux."  In  the 
Stcond  BpUUi  of  Ou  Stcond  Book  of  Horacs^  "  his 
boy"="of  Blois";  Dunciad,  bk.  i.,  "and  hero" 
="Moliire,"  "Lays  down  the  law "--^" Ah: 
goulez  9*";  PAryne,  "came  to  her "=" Mon- 
sieur"  (mon-aue-er).  Swift,  Pamphratc  of  Huntctj 
bk.  il  ode  i.,  hoa  "coup  d'cclnt"=»"  much  chat." 
Prior  knew  French,  and  probably  merely  regulated 
his  rhyme  by  what  in  hia  day  was  the  Acoepte<l 

Srononciation  of  Lit'ge,  when,  in  the  Fall  of 
lamur,  he  made  the  word  rhyme  to  "siege." 
But  even  he  has  "  your  fame  "="  Notre  Dome." 
Ooy,  in  Trivia,  writes  "content  on  foot  "=" good 
surtout,"  Goldnmith  had  travelled  in  France, 
and  ought  to  have  known  that  "  sportive  choir  " 
did  not  rhyme  to  "murmuring  Loire."  Cowper 
{Table-Talk,  1.  243)  has  "alacrity  and  joy"= 
"vivo  le  Eoy.'*  Byron,  who  hod  lived  so  much 
abroad,  luad  knew  It^liaa,  makes  ludicrous  French 
ibymea.  Don  Juan,  canto  iv.  H>3,  "young  De 
Foix'*="to  destroy";  c.  viii.  121,  "sang  froid  " 
^'•Trov'*;  c.  niv.  72,  "je  no  sgais  quoi''= 
"Troy";  c  xv.  G8,  "petita  putts "=" no  leas  true 
U";  c.  xiv.  33,  " appbuae "  =«" faux  pas";  c.  xiv, 
CO, "  C'clat  "="  she  saw."  Of  all  would-be  French 
rhymes,  however,  those  of  Scott  aro  the  moat 
•bsurd.  He  was  quite  able  to  read  French,  but 
seems  never  to  have  mastered  the  pronunciation. 
His  Trouhiidour  consists  of  four  stanzas,  in  each  of 

which    "Troubadour"    is    made  to  rhyme    with 

''bower."    But    the    drollest    instance  is  in  the

A  PoBTRAiT  or  SHAKsriARE.— A  recent  odver- 

tisemeotin  "N.&Q."  invited  attention  to  a  portrait 

Ot  Shftkflpeare.   Will  you  afford  me,  who  have  seen 

led  it,  the  opportunity  of  reoommending 


all  others  to  whom  it  may  b«  a  subject  of  interest  to 
go  and  do  likewise,  as  well  as  of  recording  my  im- 
pressions regarding  it  7  In  the  first  plaoe,  the  portmit 
IS,  to  my  mind,  undoubtedly  tbat  of  Sbakspeare  in  iv 
state  of  suffering,  but  whether  taken  from  the  life 
is  the  Question.     There  are  some  lines  underneath, 
ostensibly  written  by  Shukspeare  hiraaeU  in  re- 
ference to  the  picture,  with  the  subjoined  note, 
"Sio  cecinit  Cygnus  Avoniffl  et  obiit  23  Aprilia 
1616,  let"  52."     I   doubt,  however,  the    authen- 
ticity of  these  lines,  and  think  they  were  more 
probably  written  by  the  *'  much  valued  friend " 
ulludcd  to  in  an   inscription  at  the  back  to  this 
effect:   "There  is   a    tradition    that  ShakspeftrOi 
shortly  before  his  Departure,  and  in  an  anticipa- 
tion of  that  event,  did  at  length,  for  the  Gratifica- 
tion of  a  much  valued  friend,  submit  to  ait  for  his 
Picture,"  and  a  great  deal  more  follows  with  the 
view  of  proving  that  this  must  be  the  identical 
portrait,  and  it  is  signed  •'J.  H.,   1750."    This 
person  was  evidently  the  posseasor  of  the  picture 
in  1750.  and  though  no  such  tradition  as  that  to 
which  he  refers  has  reached  our  day,  it  is  by  no 
means  improbable  that  it  existed  at  that  period, 
nor  is  it  in  the  least  improbable  that  the  tradition 
woa  founded  in  fact.     As  to  its  more  recent  his- 
tory, I  leam  that  it  belonged  to  a  Mr.  Kinton, 
who  died  in  1805,  aged  ninety-one,  and  that  some 
years  previously  he  informed   its    present  owner 
that  it  was  beijueathed  to  him  by  a  friend  some 
fifty  years  before,  and  that    it    had  been  in  the

TnK  Aurora  Bodealis.— In  Grimm's  IHmUcM 
yjyihologu,\o[.\\\.  (1878),  is  the  following  note 
on  popular  names  given  to  the  Northern  Ll^;ht8.  I 
give  it  with  some  hesitation  in  the  originid  German, 
because  I  am  not  inclined  to  favour  the  recent 
tendency  of  writers  in  theao  pages  to  give  quota- 
tions freely  from  foreign  languages  when  a  trana- 
lation  (possible  to  the  sender;  impossible,  perhaps, 
to  most  of  bis  readers)  would  have  served  the  pur- 
pose of  tho  communication  quite  as  well :  "  Das

and  these  are  called  the  arssartut,  or  ball-players,

BivBR-KAViNG.— If  examples  should  be  watched 
for,  1  believe  that  it  would  be  found  to  have  been 
«  prevalent  motive,  in  the  earliest  nnming  of 
rirers,  that  one  mouth  or  estuary  constituted  one 
river.  Like  a  tree,  a  river,  with  all  its  branches,  wiu 
one  object,  with  one  name  common  tn  its  trunk 
and  nil  itji  ramidcalions  up  to  their  various  sources. 
The  differeat  tributaries,  or  even  different  aeclionn 
of  the  main  stem,  have  often  aftenrnrds  been  re- 
naatd,  or  perhaps  only    orthograpbioolly  differ- 


enced, t  formerly  hrooght  a  striking  example  of 
this  process  bo  your  notice  (6*^  S.  v.  131),  that 
C'aer  Kurauc^  York,  although  seated  upon  tbe 
Ou»e,  preserves  the  echo  of  a  niote  ancient  name 
of  that  river,  the  Eure,  which  nuuie  still  exists, 
but  has  now  retreated  into  one  of  the  two  higher 
limbs  of  tbe  strenm.  In  this  inat^ince  the  two 
nnroes  are  probably  the  same  or  cognate,  compare 
Kore=:Nose^-Ne»i>,  &c. 

The  namesake  in  Normandy  of  the  Yorkshire 
river  presents  another  example  of  this  action. 
The  city  of  Eureui=^Ebroic:e  is  not  situated  upon 
tbe  Eure,  but  upon  its  ntHuent  tbe  Iton,  anciently 
Jtton,  some  fifteen  or  twenty  miles  before  il 
joins  the  Eure.  Tdouas  Kebslack. 

Long  OnAPTRTtP-— Every  one  is  fnmilior  with 
the  shortest  chapter  in  any  book,  "  There  are  do 
snakes  in  Icelond,"  so  it  may  be  well  to  note  an 
fibnomiivl  instance  or  two  of  the  opposite  kind. 
The  review  of  the  second  volume  of  Dr.  Langford'a 
Afodem  IHrviingham  ond  \fs  Jnslitutiom  in 
"  N.  &  (^.,"  6**  S.  viiL  240,  commences  with  these 
words: —

first  volume,  i>f  more  than  &l)0  |>ages,  conLsined  the  re- 
cords of  t«'n  years.  Tlie  two  t**gcthcr  (about  1.000  psffes) 
furnish  the  annals  nf  one  eenerntion.  It  is  not  often  that 
sny  town  or  city  gets  m  minutely  described  as  Btnaing- 
ham,  in  the  prc*ent  case.  In  this  hist  instalment,  com- 
pleting the  work,  there  are  bat  two  chnnters.  Tbe  tlrat 
volume  was  similarly  partitioned,  and  tneee  are  perl 
the  longest  chapters  to  be  fuuud  in  any  book  on  ai 
(perhaps  on  any)  suhject." 

The  parenthetical  surmise  may  have  been  coi 
at  the  time,  but  it  is  not  90  now,  for  Dr.  Langfd

aoder  my  care,  and  beBides  these  I  hare  taadry 
luaotiscripU,  parchment  deeds  and  docameoU, 
court  rolls,  &c  Three  tbiDj^q  trouble  me,  three 
dKficulties  weigh  upon  me,  and  on  these  points  I 
bfig  for  aid  and  adrice.  At  the  Ubnirj  table  aits 
an  autocrat  ;  ho  re^tirds  me  as  bis  slave,  and  his 
wiUioi;  clave  I  glory  in  confessing  myself.  He 
constantly  expecu  me  to  band  him  down  volames 
from  shelves  eleven  feet  high  ;  to  get  at  tbem  ho 
provides  me  wiih  a  carabrous  piece  of  machinery 
which  he  calls  "  the  steps.''  It  is  something;  like 
a  huge  st«p  Udder,  or  ruther  it  is  a  movable  stair- 
case, for  it  has  a  baluster,  and  it  has  a  landing 
floor.  It,  that  is  the  binding  tbor.  has  two  castors  on 
which  it  should  ran  easily.  The  end  of  the  floor 
which  has  no  castors — ^o  providing  against  any 
undue  rapidity  of  motion— draKsalonf;  heavily,  and 
my  strength  is  creatly  taxed  when  I  try  to  push 
and  guide  it.  This  is  my  first  difHculty.  Again, 
when  my  autocrat  wishes  to  Btudy  his  parchments 
he  thinks  I  ought  to  lay  them  before  him  perfectly 
smooth  and  clean.  He  procures  tbem  shrivelled, 
and  dusty,  and  faded;  he  expecu  me  to  hand  them 
to  him,  the  vellum  fair  and  smooth,  the  dusty  dis- 
colorelioD  gone,  the  inlc  clear  and  bright,  and 
(his  not  because  it  is  necessary  for  his  ready 
deciphering,  but  only  for  bis  artistic  delight  in 
tbeir  antique  perfection;  and  here  is  my  second 
dtRicnlty.  My  third  I  hardly  like  to  mention  ;  but 
it  presses  sore  on  me,  and  I  must.  My  perfect 
Autocrat  hiis  one  fault:  he  will  splutter  his  ink 
nboQt.  His  table  is  covered  with  most  costly 
morocco,  its  tint  mng  di  hft-ufj  the  whole  thing  a 
niinicle  of  beauty;  hut  the  beauty  is  defaced,  and 
this  librarian  is  grieved.  Now,  will  some  one 
uiore  experienced  than  I  am  hel^  me,  and  (1)  re- 
coninieDd  me  a  convenient  and  safe,  not  cumbrous, 
Ltdder  by  which  to  get  at  my  lop  shelves  ;  (2)  give

Statements  regudiog  births,  deaths,  and  marrtagiM

venture  to  suf^^rest  that  the  three  words  referred  to 
mij^ht  without  any  loss  be  suffered  to  pass  into 
oblivion,  and  that  the  substitution  of  the  name  of 
tbe  month  intended  to  be  spoken  of  would  in  all 
coses,  without  any  exception,  be  a  very  great  im- 
provement on  the  present  practice.

An  Old  English  BLACK-LSTTEa  Bible.  —  I 
have  an  old  folio  blackletter  family  Bible  (Eng- 
lish) in  uiy  possession,  of  which  I  cannot  deter- 
mine the  date,  aa  its  title>page  is  missing;  it  was 
found  in  a  loft  of  an  old  country  house.  It  is 
bound  in  cardboard,  covered  with  thin  oak  Teneer 
much  worm  -  eaten,  with  double  brass  clasps 
slightly  engraved.  The  book  contains  Old  Testa- 
ment, New  Testament,  and  Apocrypha  ;  many 
chapters  bear  an  initial  letter,  some  of  which  are 
very  quaint,  The  Bible  is  divided  into  porta,  the 
commeocoment  of  each  part  being  embellished 
with  elaborate  woodcuts,  which  appear  to  be  of 
very  early  state  of  the  art.  The  introduction  tO< 
the  Psalms  gives  a  prologue  by  St.  Basil  the  Oreat« 
Following  on  the  story  of  Bel  and  the  Dragon 
"A  Necessary  Table  for  the  Knowledge  of  tbe  Stale 
of  India  from  the  Beginning  of  the  Greek  Mon- 
archy."  Most  of  tbe  books  hare  initial  letters  a6 
tbe  end  of  them,  viz,.  E.  W.,  A.  P,  C,  &c  Th«' 
tK>ok  throughout  i^  interspersed  with  marginal 
QOtei,  and  is  printed  in  double  columns;  the  t; 
is  of  several  sizes.  Can  any  one  fix  the  date 
publication,  or  give  me  an  idea  how  to  do  aoT

HOOKES'S  "AMAN'DA,"  1053. 
(e^"*  S.  TU.  7,  36,  U7.) 
Cot-  P^iDEAUx's  Amanda  formerly  belonged  to 
me.  I  hud  two  of  it.    Mr.  Ouvry  having  kindly  pre- 
sented met  with  several  of  his  private  reprints,  ODe 


of  which  was  Crawley's  Amcnday  I  sent  Hookes^a 
Amaifda  for  his  inspection,  supposing  he  had  never 
seen  it.  Ho  replied  that  Le  hod  it,  but  the  one  I 
hod  sent  him  was  so  exceptionally  hue  that  be 
would  like  to  keep  it.  Like  your  correspondent, 
he  pointed  out  what  Mr.  Hazlitt  says  in  bis  Uaud- 
ItooK  about  the  collation,  but  observed  that  it  agreed 
exactly  with  hisother  copy ;  which  I  examined  the 
next  time  I  went  to  London,  and  found  that  it  did. 
It  was  also  precisely  the  same  as  the  copy  which 
I  atill  have.  According  to  Bedford,  Mr.  Ouvry's 
book  is  in  the  original  binding,  which  is  as  sound 
as  when  first  done.  This  being  so,  one  would 
ihink  it  must  be  perfect,  for  it  has  had  no  leaf 
taken  out  since  it  was  bound  ;  and  surely  it  would 
have  everything  put  in  which  was  considered  to 
he  necessary  to  make  it  perfect  when  first  bound. 
I  bought  it  eight  or  nine  years  ago  of  the  late 
B.  M.  Pickering,  who  laughed  a  sardonic  laugh 
when  I  alluded  to  the  collation  In  the  Eandbooh, 
Hu  looked  at  me  rather  pityingly,  and,  after  a 
pause,  simply  said,  "  Yon  take  the  book ;  it  *b 
right  enough."  It  is  needless  to  say  few  men  were 
better  judges.  If  Fama  has  seen  a  copy  contain- 
ing the  half-title  and  leaf  of  errata,  we  may  then 
conclude  that  the  errata  is  an  extra  leaf,  printed 
after  the  book  was  published  and  not  included 
in  all  copies.  Had  the  errata  been  originally 
iasned  with  it,  it  is  reasonable  to  suppose  it 
would  hare  been  printed  on  the  blank  of  the  last 
leaf,  and  not  on  a  single 'leaf  which  would  require 
to  be  pasted  on  ;  and  also  that  the  leaf  containing 
the  first  errata  (pp.  25- G)  would  bare  been  caa- 
celtcd.  I  now  think  tbe  book  originally  had  a  half- 
title,  for  the  following  reasons,  notwithstandiDg 
all  the  copies  I  have  seen  are  without  it.  On 
opening  it  wide  I  find,  of  course,  that  the  frontis- 
piece is  a  loose  leaf  pasted  in.  I  find  alio  that  the 
stitches  showing  the  middle  of  the  first  section  are 
at  the  back  of  A  4,  thus  proving  that  A  4  was 
actually  the  fourth  leaf  of  the  book— the  printed 
sheet,  that  is— without  counting  the  copper-plate 
frontispiece,  which  was  necessarily  printed  sepa- 
rately. If  there  had  been  no  half-title,  the  pre- 
sent A  4  would  have  been  the  third  leaf,  and  so 
the  middle  of  the  section  (of  an  octavo  sheet)  could 
not  be  at  the  reverse  of  it.  I  also  find  in  the  back 
three  "  stab  holes,"  showing  that  it  was  originally 
published  unbound,  stitched,  in  a  pamphlet  form. 
The  book  being  corerlcss  would  be  a  good  reason 
why  there  should  be  a  half-title.  This  half-title 
would  generally  become  soiled,  and  be  cut  off  by 
the  binder  when  the  work  was  bound.  Conclusion: 
it  certainly  had  the  half-title,  but  the  leaf  of  errata 
was  probably  an  addition— an  afterthonght.

is,  for  the  most  part,  n  K^o^s^  vulffAr  performance, 
with  laboured  attempts  at  wit,  which  priDcipallj' 
depend  for  their  poiDt  on  vulgaritjr  and  ribaldry. 
It  is  full  of  the  most  Krote^que  nnd  bnrbnrous 
coDceita,  not  nltoffethcr  withonl  evideDce  of  poetic 
faculty,  but  chiefly  owing trhat  interest  it  possesses 
to  pIiiKiiirisnis  and  imitrttions  of  better  writers. 

"Then  why  do  tou  have  it?"  "Biblionuinin, 
most  decidedly.  One  naturally  wants  not  only 
what  one's  neighbour  has,  but  especially  what  he 
can't  get."  What  can  it  be  but  bibliouiania  when 
inch  a  farnigo  of  rubbish  fetches  more  money  than 
the  Hrst  editions  of  Herrick  or  Milton,  four  tinier 
OS  much  AS  Suckling  or  Donne,  and  as  much  as 
the  folio  of  Taylor  the  Water  Poet  ? 

It  givei  evidence  of  the  author's  acqnaintance 
with  the  works  of  Shnkcspero  and  others,  and,  in 
his  attempts  to  be  witty,  it  contAins  many  f>lang 
terms  and  colloquialisms.  The  following  are  Shake* 
aperean  allusions,  at  least  he  seems  to  hare  had 
passages  of  Shukespere  in  his  mind  when  he  wrote 
them.

The  above  is  one  of  the  best  bits  in  the  book, 
notwithstanding  the  grotesque  touch  in  it.  Of 
course,  the  idea  of  cherubs  (all  heads  and  wings) 
liotening  with  ear-trumpets  (how  did  they  hold 
tbem  ?}  is  entirely  his  own  ;  be  did  not  Dnd  that 
in  Shakeepere.  I  have  heard  a  tnle  about  a 
"cherrybum."  A  little  boy  was  oat  with  his  big 
brother  shooting.  They  ttinie  to  a  churchyard. 
There,  in  a  tree,  an  owl  was  sitting.  The  hoy  with 
a  gun  shot  it,  to  the  horror  of  his  little  brother, 
who  exclaimed.  "Ob,  Tommy!  what  hare  you 
been  and  done  )  You  've  been  and  shot  a  cherry- 
bum  !'  Which  was  natural  for  the  little  fellow  to 
think.

Like  a  "  daisy  on  tbe  gnus  "  is  all  very  well  for  a 
common  country  fellow,  but  it  won't  do  at  all  for 
this  gentleman  of  Trinity  College,  Cambridge-  Ue 
h:»s  been  used  to  large  towna  with  their  superior 
civiliuition.  He  has  been  struck  with  the  beautiful 
sight  of  wax  candles  and  their  umaments  in  the

this  manner : — 

"  Here  lieas  A  »ui  at/a  dead  asleep :

Amanda  and  her  lover  go  for  a  walk  and  are

Amanda  has  dimples,  and  the  use  the  Graces

He  imagines  Amanda  changed  into  n  cow,  and 
faimself  the   milkmaid  (niviahing  thought !).      He 
rewls  in  the  description  of  the  pleasures  and  oppor-

Examples  or  Ancikht  Chorch  Platb  (6*  S. 
vii.  86). — Earing  for  some  years  been  engaged  in 
making  inquiries  as  to  old  church  plate,  I  can  cor- 
roborate, if  necessary,  Dr.  Lee's  statement  aa  to 
the  Tery  few  pre-Ileformation  examples  now  re* 
maining.  Mr.  Cripps  {Old  Engluh  PlaU,  second 
edition,  p.  149)  cites  the  few  examples  of  old 
chalicei  ha  had  been  able  to  find  after  an  ex- 
tentire  Mazoh.

minster, (3)  Trinity  CoUegcv  Oxoil,  and  (4)  Gorpua 
Chriati  Ci>llege,  Oxon^  are  figured  in  ^mcmmiu  of 
A%e%mi  Ckwtk  FUtU,  &c^  J.  H.  Bsrka,  1846. 
There  ia  also  a  beautiful  drawii^  of  the  Leorainiter 
dudice,  with  a  description  of  it,  in  the  Ardunlofia, 
xxxT.  p.  489,  by  Bfr.  OcUrius  Morgan.  Tbera  ia

Mr.  O.  Morgan  in  Ardugoloffia,  xlii.

Churth  Plate  in  Ou  IHoeue  of  Carli$U,  p.  114. 

(8)  Little  Faringdon.— Alluded  to  in  AnUguary, 
December,  1882,  p.  269. 

(9)  Wylye.— Vide  Old  Englith  PlaU,  second 
edition,  p.  149.  Mr.  Cripps  also  iUoatrates  and 
describes  tbe  Nettlecombe  and  the  two  Oxford 
chalices,  besides  telling  all  that  ia  to  be  told  on 
the  subject  And  here,  pezbaps,  I  may  renture 
to  take  exception  to  Dr.  Lee's  sweeping  con- 
demnation of  the  Elizabethan  cups,  many  of  which 
(howerer  inferior  to  the  chalices  which  preceded 
them)  are  none  the  less  good  specimens  of  art, 
and  well  worthy  of  careful  preserration.  I 
would  refer  your  readers  to  what  Mr.  Crippa  says 
(pp.  150-158)  on  this  subject 

In  addition  to  the  nine  old  chalices  above  men- 
tioned, I  bare  been  fortunate  enough  to  find  two 
more,  viz. : — 

(10)  Hinderwell,  near  Whitby.— This  chalice 
has  no  hall  marks,  but  Mr.  Cripps  kindly  gives 
me  the  early  part  of  the  fifteenth  century  as,  in 
his  judgment,  its  probable  date.  It  bears  some 
resemblance  to  the  Nettlecombe  chalice,  though 
not  80  elaborate  in  detail  of  workmanship.  I  hope 
to  publish  a  full  description  and  drawing  of  it  and 
the  following  before  long. 

(11)  Jurby,  in  the  Isle  of  Man.— This  has 
London  hall  marks,  but  at  present  it  is  premature 
to  say  what  year  the  date  letter  indicates.  This 
chalice  has  only  lately  come  to  light 

Besides  these  eleven,  Mr.  Cripps  notes  another 
(12)  sold  away  from  its  parish  in  Wiltshire,  and 
now  in  the  British  Museum.  Mr.  Bloxam  gives 
a  drawing  of  another  (13),  "said  to  have  oeeU 
discorered  some  seventy  years  ago  in  ploughing  a 
field  adjoining  the  churchyard  of  Hamstall  Bid- 
ware,  in  Staffordshire"  (Companion  to  Qothie 
ArchiUcturey  p.  184).  There  are  also  two  veiy 
handsome  chalices,  one  at  Booonnoo,  and  the  other 
at  St  Kea,  Cornwall,  bat  tbey  are  almost  cer- 
tainly of  foreign  (presamaUy  French)  workmaa-

Dr.  Lee  which  have  come  tinder  my  immediate

Wren  having  been  recently  demoliabed. 

A  few  remarks  about  chalices  m:iy  not  be  con- 
sidered irrelevant.  Omitting  notices  of  those  of 
primitive  time.1  made  of  wood,  earthenware,  glasa, 
or  horn — objected  to  on  account  of  their  absorbing 
nature,  fragility,  or  Impurity — of  the  inferior  metals, 
as  lead  or  copper,  "  quia  provocat  vomitum,"  the 
preference  was  eventually  given  to  vessels  of  gold, 
silver,  or  silver  gilt,  until  at  length  luxury  and 
prosperity  suggested  the  addition  of  precious 
stones  or  enamel.  The  bowl  of  the  silver  chalice 
was  usually  plain,  but  occasionally  a  sentence  was 
engraved  round  the  middle,  the  stem,  knop,  and 
foot  being  highly  ornamented.  The  foot  was  large 
in  proportion,  und  the  edges  eacaloped  to  prevent 
the  chalice  rolling  off  the  credence  table  or  altar 
when  placed  to  drain.  In  an  inventory  of  12 
Edward  IV.  (Kal.  Exch.,  iiu  169),  "Une  coupe 
d'argent  dorrtS  p''(OH(  pUin^  od  covercle,  od 
rond  poirul  convenable  por  Eukarist,  poia  et  pris 
iiij  marcs."  Plate  waa  frequently  bequeathed  to 
be  converted  into  cbalicea.  Richard,  Lord  Serope, 
in  1420  leaves  to  hia  kinsman  Marnmduke  Lumley 
a  cup  of  silver  cjilled  "  the  Constable  Bolle,"  upon 
condition  that  when  a  certain  chapel  he  had  directed 
to  be  built  was  finished  it  was  to  be  converted  into 
a  chalice  for  that  bouse  {Tut  Vit.).  Sir  John 
Neville  bequeaths  to  the  church  of  Hautenprioe 
a  stand ing  cup  of  silver  gilt  called  **the  Kataryne," 
and  thereof  to  make  a  chalice  (ih.).  Chalices 
being  BO  frequently  left  to  churches  for  massea  to 
be  sung  for  the  welfare  of  the  donors'  souls  after 
their  decease,  there  must  have  been  a  superabun- 
dance of  them  in  many  large  churches,  and  it 
was  not  unusual  to  let  them  out  on  hire.  In  the 
churchwardens'  accounts  of  St.  Margaret's,  West- 
minetcr,  is  the  following:  "Item.  Beceived  of  my 
Lord  Daubeneia'  chaplaynea  for  the  hire  of  4.

of  note  that  the  word-wus  at  first  ceoemlly  written

I  infer  that  this  O.Fr.  t^HM  or  Unit,  meaning 
strife,  fight,  combat,  was  applied,  and  then  ex- 
clusively devoted,  to  the  contest  of  parties  in  this 
particular  form  of  ball-playing.  There  is  nothinj^ 
forced  or  annatural  in  such  an  application  of  it.  The 
argument  may  not  seem  satisfactory  to  Mb.  Jouaii 
Marshall — he  has,  I  believe,  a  theory  of  bis  own 
to  support ;  but,  in  withdrawing  from  a  discus- 
sion which  has  now  stretched  to  a  great  length, 
I  submit  it  to  the  jndgment  of  those  among  your 
readers  who  feel  an  interest  in  the  controYeny.

The  Law  of  Gravitation  (6*  S.  vi.  163,  »48). 
-^Therc  is  this  notioe  of  the  relation  of  Cicero's 
remark  to  Sir  L  Newton's  discovery  in  Chambers'^ 
Book  of  Dai/i,  ii.  758  : — 

''  It  maybe  mentioned  as  a  curiooa  olrcunutaaoo  that 
a  controversy  arose,  a  few  years  k20,  on  the  ijuestion 
whether  or  not  Cicero  nntioipatvd  Newton  in  the  dJB' 
covery  or  an tu>un cement  of  tho  jrreat  law  tff  gravitation. 
The  mKtter  ii  worthy  of  note,  because  it  ilhietrutes  the  im- 
perfect way  in  which  that  theory  is  often  understood.  In 
the  Tusculan  Disputations  of  Cicero  this  piusBfie  oocurs; 
'  Qua  omnia  delata  irritate  medium  mundi  locum 
semper  expetant.'  The  meaning  of  the  passage  iiaa  been 
regarded  its  somewhat  obecure,  and  in  some  editions  'in 
qu& '  occurs  insUad  of  ^itd  y  nevertheless  the  Idea  is  that 

of  a  c<:n'ru^;7oiA(, towards  which  all  thinf^  (p^vitate 

But  >'owton'B  great  achievement  was  to  dismise  this  idea 
of  a  fixed  point  altogether,  and  to  substitute  the  tiieory 
of  univfTtai  fur  that  of  c<ntral  invitation,  that  is  that 
OTcry  particle  gravitates  towards  every  other As- 
suredly Cicero  never  conceived  the  Newtonian  idea,  thai

^         Black  RADianEs  itsed  by  Jews  (6^  S.  vi.  388). 

^^^Tlie  black  radish^  often  colled  the  black  Spanish 

^KMlisb,  is  a  well-known  vegetable  :  but  it  i^  seldom 

^^Tultivoted  in  ordinary  gardens,  as  it  is,  to  most 

tastes,  not  very  piiLitible.     I  have  often  seen  it  in 

London,  and  I  think  Mr.  Brittcn  will  tiad  it,  in 

the  proper  season  (whenever  that  may  be),  in  many 

^rreeoi^ocora'  Bbops,  and  perhaps  even  in  Covent 

Girdeo.     It  would, at  anv  rate,  he  found,  I  should 

ny,  in  the  Borough  Market.     I  can  find  nothing 

bout  it  in  any  botanical  work,  unless  a  variety  of 

a  deep  brown  cnlour,"  incidentally  meutiooed  in 

e  Trtatury  of  Botany  under  "Itiphnnus,"  refers 

this  esculent.  I  have  always  taken  it  to  be  merely 

garden'variety  of  Raphanun  taiivm.     There  is, 

owever,  a  notice  of  it  in  Cobbett's  English  (iat- 

nrr.  where  the  following  not  very  complimen- 

ry  but  characteristic  remarks  occur  :— 

•Wilh  regard  to  the  turnip-rooted  lort*.  they  ire  all 
^rtatly  Inferior,  hi  point  of  flavour,  to  the  tap-rooted  ; 
himI  as  to  tliQ  IU\':1:  Sfmnt$k  raHuk,  it  it  a  coarne  thin^, 
Uiat  u  ill  ttaad  the  wintt- r  about  ns  well  as  a  tdmlp,  and 
i«  very  little  sunerior  to  »  tumin  id  point  of  fltroar.  It 
14  called  a  radiih,  and  may  l>«  had  with  hardly  any 
trouhle  crea  in  the  winter  time,  but  it  is,  in  fact,  not 
tit  to  oat," 

I  ^rew  black  radiMhes  in  my  garden  some  four- 
en  or  fifteen  ye;iri  a^jo,  but  I  have  never  repeated 

t*  f*xi3eriincul.  I  mu  afraid  I  share  old  William 
'tbbott's  opinion.  It  is  p'Mutbte.  howevpr,  that  1 
id  not  know  how  to  eat  them.  I  used  them  raW| 
[  should  use  anv  otli^r  radish  ;  and  tterhtips  I 
u^ht  to  h»ve  Doo\(n\  them^  or  sliced  teem  with 


oil  and  vinegftr.  It  would  be  interesting  to  know 
how  the  Jews  prepare  them,  and  why  they  are  In 
such  esppcial  favour  with  that  race. 

Mr.  Britten's  informant  compares  black 
radishes  to  red  beet  ;  but  what  I  have  seen  have 
been  the  shape  of  n  coarsely  grown  turnip  mdisb, 
and  about  three  inches  in  diameter,  and  Oobbeti 
includes  them  amongst  the  "turnip-rooted  sorte." 
Bobert  Holland. 

Frodeliam,  Cheshire. 

The  hiack  or  Spanish  radish  is  an  old  inhabitant 
of  the  English  garden,  and  is  described  by  all  the 
writers  to  whom  we  usually  resort  for  infurwutioo, 
fromDodoens(l/)78)down  toThompson'sOardcntrtf 
Aisifitant  (1878).  Gerarde  describes  its  flavour 
correctly  as  bitiog  and  sharp ;  and  Parkinson 
reverses  the  order,  calling  it  sbarp  and  biting.  It 
{{rows  to  n  large  size,  and  varies  in  form  from  tha( 
of  It  turnip  to  that  of  a  beet ;  the  colour  of  the 
nkin  is  brownish  black,  but  the  Hesh  ia  white, 
hard,  and  has  a  very  pungent  flitvour.  I  know  of 
oue  place  where  this  root  can  be  purchased,  and  it 
is  the  open-air  market  of  the  Whitechapel  Koad, 
London.  Shirlkt  Uiqbe&d. 

I  nm  much  surprised  at  the  statement  that  the 
black  radish  is  only  eaten  by  Jews,  baving  fre- 
quently  seen  it  served  as  a  kora  d'otucre  both  in 
England  and  on  the  ContlncnL  It  ia  a  particular 
favourite  with  the  family  of  some  relatives  of  mine 
who  are  anything  hut  Jews.  It  is  very  strong* 
and  only  the  outside  fmrt  is  euten.  There  is  00 
difficulty  in  getting  the  iced  at  anv  seedsman's.

Dormant  or  uhtch  have  Uen  Forfeittd.     By  WilliMin 

Oienhnm  Hewlett,  F.S.A.  (Wildy  k  Sons.) 
This  book  hos  ccroe  out  very  opportunely,  and  eontaiut 
moeh  that  cannot  fail  to  be  of  interest  to  students  of 
biitory  and  genealogy^  a  class  largely  represented  in  the 
psges  of  "  N  -  4  li- "  Tbero  are  few  subjects  more  capable 
of  gfTinir  rise  to  long-sostained  controrersy  than  that  of 
which  Mr.  Hewlett  lUtutrates  a  portion.  By  the  limita- 
tions of  his  title  psgc  he  has  escaped  some  difficulties,  the 
solution  of  whicli  seems  to  be  in  a  rery  far  distant  future ; 
but  in  so  dotuf;  wo  fear  we  mutt  say,  "Jncidit  to 
8c>Uam."  Tlicre  are  rocks  enough  in  his  chosen  course 
to  wroclc  many  a  goodly  Tcssel,  and  it  cannot  he  denied 
that  Mr.  Hewlett's  ship  Uaj  suffered  in  her  poaiage 
through  these  dangerous  waters. 

In  many  cases  Mr.  Hewlett  has  evidently  trusted  too 
absolutely  to  Dougliks  for  hii  gonralogical  accoants  of  the 
peerages  inchidcd  in  his  book.  While  wo  are  fully  sensible 
of  the  debt  that  l^'cottish  gcn^  alogists  owe  tn  Sir  Robert 
I>ODglas  and  to  the  continuator  of  his  Vtcragt,  as  well  as 
to  Crawfur<i,  we  must  assert  Uiat  it  is  impossible  to  erect 
either  of  them  int<t  an  infalliblo  guide  without  the  cer- 
tainty of  being  led  into  erron  either  of  omiBsloo  or  com- 
mieaion. 

Some  of  Mr.  UewIett'M  mimtr  erron  appear  tn  he  due 
solely  to  his  unfamlUarity  with  Scottish  family  history. 
Thus,  in  his  occoant  of  the  Rutherfurd  peerage,  he 
accepts  the  alien  form  "Drury"  as  the  equivalent  t-f  the 
Scottish  "  Durie,"  simply,  no  doubt,  through  want  of 
Mqaaintanco  with  ttie  perfectly  well-known  house  of 
i>urie  of  that  ilk.  The  English  name  Drury  is  a  jure 
blonder  of  Knelish  writers,  Liiid  only  add«  confujiion  to 
an  alreaJy  sufficiently  compUcated  story, 


It  is  unfortunate  that  Mr.  Hewlett  should  belie  to  in 
"belting"  IS  a  mode  of  creation  of  Scottish  peerages, 
and  not,  as  it  really  was,  of  suleum  public  recognition 
thereof  after  creation  by  cliartor.  Tbii  miMonceptmn 
runs  through  a  large  portion  of  Mr.  Hewlett's  book. 
We  hope  he  will  roconiider  lii^  position  in  a  future 
edition.  Tbe  list  of  claiuii  to  Scutt'nh  peerugcj)  referre<l 
to  the  House  of  Lords,  upon  which  evidence  has  been 
taken,  but  which  hare  not  been  reported  upon,  and  the 
li't  of  claims  referred,  but  upoti  wiiich  tbe  House  does 
not  appear  t<i  hare  taken  any  proceedings  at  all,  hatU 
desenra  caneful  ituJy.  They  are  strong  aniuments  on 
the  itde  of  (hose  who  urge  that  the  present  mode  r.r 
adjudicating  upon  Scottish  pcera;;e  claims  i«  eminently 
unsatisfactory.  We  hrtpe  that  in  his  next  edition  Mr. 
Hewlett  will  rhake  himself  more  free  from  the  trammali 
of  the  Committes  for  Privileges. 

IL'ttory  of  SKptoH,    By  W.  Uarbutt  Dawson.   (Stmpkin, 

Motvhall  k  Co.) 
Sktpton  is  an  interesting  town,  but  little  has  been 
hitherto  done  in  the  way  of  itlunratin^  its  hiatory.  Mr. 
Dawson's  book  can  in  no  sort  be  considered  final,  but  it 
is  a  useful  book  notwithstanding,  and  as  a  storehouic 
of  foots  will  be  most  valuable  t>  the  future  hiitorian 
whcnerer  lie  shall  come  forward.  It  ti  ipecially  useful 
for  tbe  more  moileru  time.  What  we  arc  told  concerning 
the  Saxon  and  >'orman  times  does  not  amount  to  much, 
and  may  almost  all  of  it  be  found  in  other  places.  We 
have  not  learnt  anything  we  did  not  know  before  of 
Kanulpb  do  Meschines,  the  house  of  Do  Bomille,  or  Iha 
earlier  CliiforJs ;  but  when  we  get  down  later  Ihege  ia 
much  that  seems  to  us  new.  Mr.  Duwson  has  had  aocesi 
to  the  records  preserved  in  the  castle,  and  many  extracts 
are  given  which  make  us  long  for  more.  Some  of  the 
manorial  services  are  curious,  ^'ut  onljr  bad  the  tenants 
to  carry  wood  and  food  to  the  castle,  and  plough  and 
harrow  the  lord's  demtsne  lands  and  to  cut  biscom,  hub 
they  hod  also  to  thatch  his  bakehouse  and  brewbouse, 
and  t^  gather  nutx  for  him  in  a  wood  called  the  Hawo. 
Ueriots  were  paid  hero  as  elsewhere  on  the  death  of  a 
tenant,  and  there  waa  another  custom  which  wc  do  not 
remember  having  hitherto  met  with.  The  tenants  {laid 
every  tenth  year  one  year's  additional  rent  by  way  of 
"gresBome."  The  parish  church  is  well  described.  Mr. 
Dawsc>n  thinks  there  was  no  church  here  in  Saxon  timet. 
because  in  the  Domesday  survey  there  Is  no  mention  of 
one.  We  have  seen  no  evidence  on  tbe  point,  hut  tbe 
omission  of  msntion  of  a  church  in  Domesday  Book  i* 
by  no  means  a  proof  that  one  was  not  in  existence  when 
the  eurvey  was  compiled.  Somewhere  between*  twenty- 
five  and  thirty  years  ago  this  church  underwent  what  is 
called  restoration.  Slany  interesting  and  iraportanfe 
objects  were  sxcrificed  at  that  time.  Of  this  Mr.  Dawson 
tells  us  eoucwhat,  but  he  ntiglit  have  given  us  fuller 
details.  He  does  inform  us  of  tbe  removal  of  a  most 
interebting  screen,  which  it  seems  was  for  a  long  time 
preserved  by  a  townsman  :  whrre  it  is  now  he  does  not 
say.  In  one  particular  Mr.  Dawson'v  book  is  of  great 
interett.  He  gives  very  careful  accounts  of  the  various 
Nonconformist  bodies  existing  in  Skipton.  with  lists  of 
the  miniBters.  We  have  met  with  very  few  mistake*; 
but  there  arc  two  which  deserve  notice.  The  insurrec- 
tion of  174ij  was  not,  as  Mr.  Dawson  tells  us,  "an  attempt 
to  place  a  Stuart,  Charles  Edward,  known  for  dUtinction 
as  the  Young  Pretender,  upon  the  throne."  His  father 
was  then  alive,  and  bad  the  .Taciibitea  been  successful 
Charles  Edward  would  not  barv  tuccoedod  until  the  death 
of  the  person  whom  they  called  Jainvs  III.  On  paffe  *i5& 
there  ismentionofa  person  wlio  wa»  "  Sanscrit '  Herald. 
This  iB,  of  course,  a  misprint.  Wo  never  reiOL«n.VftX

«(]u&lizinf;  tbe  great  find  umaTI  with  a  vengeance ;  and 
loveri  of  the  form  will  probably  b«  inoiiaed  to  with 
tbat  an  <td  e'iptanff%im  title  bad  not  Mdnoed  Mr  Niooll 
into  dispenHing  Wordawortb  and  Whitehead  in  equul

think  bo  hna  alwaya  been  hiippy  in  ootectinK  tbe  bi^t 
efforts  of  flomo  of  the  crroater  n>?n,  m  this  is  more  de- 
batable matter;  but  "Giotto's  Tower"  is  certainly  not 
the  flnoat  of  L'tnpfcttow  s  sonncta,  nor  la  "  Mary's  Girl- 
hood "  the  finest  of  Konetti's.  And  it  is  to  be  reicrotted 
that  tbe  mystic  number  to  wlucb  tbe  editor  hiui  restricted

Mr.  Maedonald,  Mr.  Lanp,  Mr.  Aubrry  de  Vcre,  Lord 
Hanmer,  and  Alenrs.  P.  and  K.  Myert.'  Which  of  the 
favoured  band  whom  Mr.  Nicoll  bat  honoured  with  his 
critical  approval  should  make  way  for  these  Utter  we 
are  not  called  upon  to  say  ;  but  if  ho  is  ri^bt  in  euppoiinc 
that  the  limit  of  number  is  reached  in  one  hundred, 
intending  sonneteers  liad  better  for  the  future  turn  th«ir 
attention  to  the  pantouro  of  tbe  Malays  or  study  new

A  mhian  Son'tijf  in  tht  Middlr.  A^<t.  By  Kdward  William 
Lane,  Edited  by  Stanley  Lane-Poole.  (Chatto  tt 
Windui.) 
Isi  this  volume  Mr.  Stanley  Lane-Foole  has  collected 
those  of  the  notes  to  L&ae't  Arahian  ^'ightt  which  best 
bcf  r  «!pnnittDn  from  the  text,  and  which,  be  justly  says, 
"often  reached  tbe  proportions  of  elaborate  esuys  on 
the  main  cbaracteriitics  of  Mohammedan  life."  Few 
readers  have  any  idea  of  the  immonee  amount  of  autho- 
ritative inforniution  and  actual  personal  experience 
which  lies  hidden  in  the  small  type  of  the  edition  of 
38M':  and  to  have  this  arranjiod  consequently,  and  con- 
fined in  the  moderate  dimonsioni  of  one  neatly  printed 
nnd  fully  indexed  volume  is  a  boon  for  which  Mr.  liane- 
Poole  deMrves  our  gratitude.  Tbe  book,  wo  note,  is 
dedicated  to  the  memory  of  another  ^ro&t  Orientalist, 
tKe  late  Prof.  £.  H.  Palmer.

Wb  mait  confeu  that  we  have  no  special  kindness  for 
this  ipecift4  of  literature,  which  seems  to  be  the  modem 
manifestation  of  the  "  Annual "  of  our  erandmothera. 
Mr.  Lanf;brid^  moat  therefore  accept  it  as&compUment 
tbat  we  cannot  deny  to  his  volume  the  praise  of  being 
extremely  pretty.  Meesrsi  Tuck'e  Chriitmae  and  Valen- 
tine cards,  many  of  which  bear  the  honoured  namee  of 
Leslie,  Yeamaa,  Haroiu  Stone,  and  lo  forth,  form  very 
appropriate  nsbellishmeots,  and  the  tolection  has  the 
merit  of  conAiderable  range  and  variety.  Mr.  Lanj;- 
brid^fo  hM  also  been  able  to  secure,  among  otlier;>.  original 
poems  from  Miss  Christina  Rosoetd,  Mr.  Theodore

EARLY  RECOLLECTIONS  OP  WESTMINSTER 
H*ALL  AND  THE  LAW  COURTS. 

At  the  RU(rge8tton  of  a  friend  I  hare  been 
induced  to  jot  down  roughly  tbe  followintj  re- 
collections of  the  interior  of  Westminster  Hull  as 
it  pre.ieoted  itself  to  my  eyes  in  tbe  early  part  of 
the  present  century ;  al40  of  the  old  Law  CuiirtR 
lit  A^estniioater,  now  so  rapidly  disappear! Bfj;  from 
«igbt,  aud  so  soon  to  be  forj^otten. 

Inl818  the  Courts  of  King's  Benchatid  Chancery 
were  held  in  n  "cancellated"  wooden  erection 
nt  the  south  end  of  the  interior  of  tbe  Hull  of 
Kichard  IL,  which  occupied  tbe  whole  width  and 
about  one-half  tbe  depth  of  tbe  sixth  bay  from 
liultreitfl  to  buttress,  and  then  the  last  bay.  Thin 
fact  is  noted  because  Sir  Charles  Barry  lengthened 
the  bull  another  bay  sonthwarda  to  make  a  grand 
entrance  hall  to  St.  Stephen's  Chapel.*  Thede 
■truotiires  rose  to, about  the  springing  line  of  the 
ffreiit  window,  and  consisted  of  two  large  coarta, 
baviog  raised  floors,  with  a  central  and  wide 
accent  of  steps  to  these  floors  right  and  left,  and 

*  I  picked  up  Bome  yean  aga  an  excellent  early  aqtia- 
tinta  engrarioft  of  the  interinr  of  WeHniinster  iintl.  and

Palaca  Yard  in  my  copy  of  Smith's  WtHmxntttr,  p.  30. 


a  higher  itsceot  southward  through  a  doorway 
under  the  great  window,  to  connect  the  Hull  with 
the  rooms  of  the  Houaes  of  Lords  and  Commons. 
For  addiciontil  access  to  these  two  courts  there 
were  two  passages  next  the  walla,  one  of  which — 
that  nn  the  north  side — was  aUo  a  way  out  into 
Old  Palace  Yard. 

The  building  presented  a  pseudo-Gothic  front, 
answering  to  what  is  now  called  "the  Batty 
Liingley  style,"  17<X),  and  had  two  semi-octagon 
fruotx,  etiuh  with  three  windows  and  two  stnriea, 
and  in  tbe  middle  between  them  an  arcbed  door- 
way. Taken  altogether,  it  was  by  no  means  bad 
of  its  kind.  I  well  remember  its  demolition, 
and  myself  helped  to  remove  the  massive  flight 
of  steps  which  remained  in  stfu  till  the  prepara- 
tions began  for  iiiting  the  Hall  for  the  banquet 
aud  ceremonies  of  King  George  IV.'s  coronation. 

The  Lord  Chancellor's  Equity  Court  and  the 
Courts  of  Exchequer  and  Common  Pleas  and 
Rolls  were  on  tbe  western  side  of  the  Hall,  and 
were  opproached  from  the  iDsido  of  the  Hall  by 
two  or  three  ancient  openings.  Tbe  Hall  was 
surrounded  on  three  sides  by  buildings  attached 
thereto.*  Against  the  east  wall  were  the  Speaker'a 
residence  and  a  long  range  of  rooms — offices  of 
the  tellers  aud  auditors  of  the  Excheqiier — and 
the  whole  south  side  of  New  Paluce  Yard  coq^ 
sinted  of  low  Elizabethan  and  later  buildings^ 
which  were  taverns  and  official  dwellings.  AC 
tbe  western  end  of  these  latter  remained  a  Urge 
ronni,  called  Queen  Elizabeth's  Chamber,  which, 
if  I  rightly  remember,  had  become  the  Exchequer 
Coffee  House  ;  it  was  removed  in  about  1822  to 
rbe  western  end  of  the  terrace  of  New  Pakce 
Yard,  and  there  became  (Mrs.  Fendall's)  New 
Exchequer  Coffee  House. 

Beyond  Queen  EliztihetVs  Chamber  southward, 
and  on  the  east  side  of  St.  Margaret  Street,  there 
had  probably  been  erected  about  1780t  by  Sir 
WilliuTu  Chambers,  tbe  architect  of  the  Board 
of  Works,  who  also  designed  Somenet  Houae,  % 
handsome  front  of  official  buildings,  the  King's 
Bench  Record  Office,  which  presented  a  western 
fumade  of  three  bays  of  five  windows  each  ;  and 
at  the  extreme  southern  end  waa  a  square  corner 
tower  with  western  and  southern  windows,  from 
which  there  was  a  fliok  building  of  the  same 
Italian  architecture,  having  five  windows  and 
reaching  to  tbo  ancient  front  of  tho  Houses  of 
Parliament,  thus  forming  tbe  eastern  side  of  Old 
PiJace  Yard.t     The  great  fire  of  1834  led  to  the

immediate  demolition  of  this  square  tower  and 
the  flank  building.  I  lieUeve  ihnt  there  had 
been  a  reserved  intention  to  make  a  similar 
square  tower  at  the  northern  end  of  this  fa^^ide, 
with  a  flank  building  between  it  and  the  northern 
front  of  the  Hall,  so  modernizing  the  Boutb  iiide 
of  Kew  Palace  Yard  after  the  remOYftl  of  the 
Elizabethan  biiildinjrs. 

In  1819  and  1820  the  north  front  of  West- 
minster Hall  was  cleared  of  aome  of  its  menn 
and  incongruous  attacbmentjif  and  it  undexwent 
a  good  restorntion  by  Gayfere,  who  wrb  then 
approacbinK  the  end  of  hia  restoration  of  King 
Henry  VII.'s  ChapeL*  Afterwards,  under  Sir 
Robert  Smirke,  large  repairs  of  the  roof  of  the 
fiall,  the  refocing  of  the  internal  walla,  the  forma- 
tion of  a  new  floor^  the  removal  of  the  old  Courts 
of  King's  Bench  and  Chancery,  and  the  reparation 
of  the  then  south  window,  together  with  other 
works,  inclusive  of  new  windows  in  the  roof,  were 
undertaken.  For  these  purposes  the  Hall  waa 
closed  during  the  suspense  of  the  coronation  of 
George  IV.f  At  the  same  time  the  old  buildings 
about  Queen  Elizabeth's  Chamber  were  removed, 
and  the  stone  building  at  the  south-west  corner  of 
New  Palace  Yard  waa  erected,  under  the  influence, 
it  is  thought,  of  Mr.  Hnnbury  Tracy  (Lord  Sude- 
ley),  M.P-,  which  ignored  the  first  intention  of 
imitating  the  Iralian  style  southwardi  and  made 
it  to  agree  pretty  nearly  with  the  Gothic  style  of 
the  Hall  front. 

There  now  appeared  on  the  scene  Mr.  (afterwards 
Sir  John)  Soane.X  He  was  required  to  design 
new  law  conrta,  the  area  assigned  for  the  purpose 
being  from  the  hack  of  the  Italian  buildings  of  the 
King^a  Bench  Record  Ofliee,  on  the  cast  side  of  St. 
Margaret  Street,  to  the  west  wall  of  the  Hall,  and 
the  whole  length  of  that  wall,  comprising  a  Eipuce 
whoUy  internal,  about  240  ft.  long,  and  60  ft.  wide. 
iVIr.  Soane  commenced  operations  by  making  a 
corridor  about  9  ft.  wide  next  the  wall  of  the  Hall, 
with  seven  doorways  in  that  wait 

To  this  corridor  he  attached,  most  ingeniously, 
eight  courts  on  the  ground -floor,  and  over 
them  others,  with  vaiious  rooms.  The  hirge  but- 
trenca  on  that  stde  of  the  Hull^  of  which  there 
were  six,  perhaps  seven,  sadly  obstructed  the 
architect.  Some  of  them  he  seems  to  hare  re- 
tained in  bulk,  and  to  have  built  in  as  walls,  and 
others  to  have  greatly  reduced  ;  but  it  is  hoped 
that  the  foundations  of  all  are  in  si£u,  and  that 
Rome  of  the  tower  parts  of  them  are  still  capable 
of  being  developed— that,  in  fact,  there  may  be 
sufficient  of  them  left  and  on  record  to  warrant  an 
entire  restoration.     The  buttresses  on  the  east  side

of  the  Hall  were  more  irregularly  placed,  bat  there 
were  yet  remains  of  three,  one  in  the  Speaker's 
Courtf  and  two  in  the  Cloister,  all  which  have 
since  disappeared.'"'  The  destruction  of  others 
was  occaaioned  by  the  palatini  and  ecclesiastical 
buildings  which  followed  William  Rufusi's  build- 
ing ;  for  Sir  Robert  and  Sir  Sydney  Smirke 
have  most  convincingly  proved  that  the  wuUa 
belong  ta  that  king,  having  traced  the  positions 
of  all  bis  great  windows  and  of  several  smalt 
intermediate  ones  heBides.  The  remains  of  these 
windows  have  been  left  undisturbed,  though 
necessarily  covered  with  modern  casing. t^Theae 
works  occupied  from  1822  to  1825, 

The  difficulty  which  Sir  John  Soane  had  to  over- 
comet  til  reMpect  of  lifiht,  ventilation,  and  access  to 
the  courls  and  their  belongings,  was  a  theme  of 
remark  and  of  admiration  at  the  conclusion  of  the 
works.  Comparing  the  small  area  at  his  disposal, 
and  the  ^rent  amount  of  legtil  business  carried  on 
there,  with  the  immense  area  and  bulk  of  the  Royal 
Courts  of  Justice  just  completed,  every  one  will 
accord  to  the  architect  of  the  Law  Courts  of 
Georpe  IV, 'a  reign  the  meed  of  praise  so  justly 
deserved. 

As  already  stated,  Sir  Robert  and  Sir  Sydney 
Smirke  have  clearly  proved  that  the  wftHs  of 
William  Rnfvia's  Hall  Blill  remain  in  hoik  on 
each  side.  Like  a  corresponding  building  of  ths 
same  date,  erected  at  Rouen  by  h'm  elder  brother, 
Robert,  Duke  of  Normandy,  it  had  pillars  to 
uphold  the  roof ;  therefore,  masBive  buttresses 
with  arched  flyers  were  not  necessary  in  either. 
This  Palace  Hall  of  Dtike  Robert  waa  in  the  next 
century  replaced  by  the  covered  market  "  Halles,'' 
which  yet  remain  there,  in  almost  the  original 
state,  with  a  double  row  of  pillars,  Eupportin^ 
a  floor,  and  therefrom  the  pillars  of  timber  to 
carry  the  roof ;  flying  buttresses  are,  therefore, 
absent. 

When  Richard  If.  became  possessor  of  the  Hall 
of  Rufus  he  desired  to  secure  amplitude  as  welf 
as  freedom  from  pillars  ;  and  therefore  he  got 
rid  of  the  ancient  pillars  and  roof  of  William 
Kufus  and  whatever  else  the  pillars  may  have  sap- 
ported.  He  then  spanned  the  wall  with  the 
beautiful  hUmmer-heum  truss  principals  which  yet 
remain  ;  and,  foreseeing  the  thrust  thnt  would  be 
made  on  the  wallsj  he  devised,  in  order  to  realsk 
that  thrust,  ten  massive  flying  buttresses,  seven  of 
which  still  exist,  to  a  great  extent,  on  the  southern 
side  of  the  HalL 

If  we  refer  to  the  beautiful  engraving  in  Bray- 
ley  and  Britton's  work,  plate  viii.  No.  41,  the 
existence  of  both  designs  becomes  manifest.  The

In  coDoexioa  with  the  view  of  King  Richard  H/s 
bnttress,  in  Braytey  sod  Britton'd  Ancient  Palact 
of  Watminaitir,  plute  ir.,  we  may  observe  the 
unaltered  back  of  the  two  honses,  which,  about 
1T45,  were  occupied  bv  ''the  Receipt  of  Ex- 
chequer," and  in  1835  by  Mr.  Rickman  and  Mr. 
Godwin,  Clerks  of  the  Parliament. 

These   houses    were    probably    connected  with 

"  the  Star  Chamber,"  the  exact  position  of  which 

can  DOW  be  conjectured  only.     The  varioua  views, 

of  different  dates,  show  how  their  north  front  had 

■been  gradually  modernized,  but  that  the  back  on 

Biu  tioulb  hud,  up  to  a  late  dale,  retained  not  only 

^pe  iron  ffriHeii  to  the  seven  windows  {rendered 

^^ce^sary  for  state  purposes  when  the  Star  Cbnmber 

^raa  in  full  force),  but  also  traces  of  small  openings, 

arches,  a  buttress,  and  a  fine  arched  gateway;  of 

L»ll  these  interesting  features  the  history  is  probably 

Iftost  beyond  recovery. 

m  In  one  of  the  last  volumes  of  Archteologia,  Mr. 
O.  R..  Corner  has  contributed  four  beautiful  illumi-

Bad  vividly  the  aiaemblies  in  the  four  courts  of 
Kw,  Chancery,  King's  Bench,  Common  Pleas,  and

A  NEW  HISTORY  OF  CHAELES  VII., 

KI-MJ  OP  FUANCB.* 

Few  hooks  on  French  history  have  recently  been

»tined  to  supersede  all  the  works  on  the  same 

ibject  which  have  appeared  since  Alain  and  Jean 

Ibarlier  flni  attempted  to  describe  the  vicissitudes 

of  a  busy  and  exciting  reign.     M.  de  Beaucourt's 

monograph  is  to  comprise  Jive  volumes  ;  the  first 

WAS  issued  in  I88t,  and  the  second  appeared  only 

few  months  ago.     It  takes  us  as  far  as  the  year 

135,  covering,  therefore,  the  spare  of  time  during 

lioh  "Le  Roi  de  Bourges,"  as  Charles  VII.  had 

!0  derisively  called,  was  laboriously  conquering

back  from  the  English  the  kingdom  of  France 
amongst  difficulties  which  it  would  be  linpoaaibla 
to  exaggerate. 

I  do  not  purpose  reviewing  here  in  detail  the 
Uistoirt  de  Ckarlti  VII.,  but  only  to  draw  the 
reader's  attention  to  one  or  two  points  with  re- 
ference to  which  M.  de  Beaucourt  has,  I  think, 
completely  succeeded  in  vindicating  the  character 
of  bis  hero.  Most  historians,  it  is  well  known, 
have  accused  Charles  VI  t.  of  ingratitude,  and 
worse  than  ingratitude,  towards  Joan  of  Arc.  A 
recent  article  in  the  new  edition  of  the  Enq/clo- 
jHtdia  Britannica,  expressing  the  almost  universal 
opinion,  says  that  "Charles — partly,  perhopa,  on 
account  of  his  natural  indolence,  partly  on  account 
of  the  intrigues  at  the  court — made  no  effort  to 
effect  her  ransom,  and  never  showed  any  interest 
in  her  fate."  Mi.ns  JuneC  Tuckey,  in  her  biography 
of  the  Maid  of  Orleans  composed  for  the  "New 
Plutarch,"  thus  upbraids  the  king:  "  And  Charles? 
Gratitude,  that  rare  virtue  in  pnoces,  wus  utterly 
unknown  to  him,  the  king  of  false  courtiers  and 
of  greedy  sycophants.  Uis  thanklessnesa  almost 
passes  belief.  He  made  no  effort,  wrote  no  line, 
expressed  no  desire  for  Joan's  deliverance.  He 
did  absolutely  nothing.  We  have  no  record  of 
even  a  regretful  word,  a  sorrowful  look  from  him 
when  be  heard  of  her  captivity." 

In  answer  to  these  sweeping  accusations  M.  de 
Beaucourt  proves  that  even  if  Charles  VIL  hod 
vriahed  to  rescue  the  Maid  of  Orleans  &om  the 
Englibh  it  would  have  been  impossible  for  him 
to  do  60  ',  the  unworthy  coansellora  by  whom  he 
was  surrounded  crippled  his  energy,  thwarted  his 
best  intentions,  and  prevented  him  from  exercising 
his  authority  as  a  king.  A  contemporary  writer, 
Pierre  Sala  {Nardiate*  da  Qrands  Hoy$  et  Em- 
pereuTs)j  says:  *' Dcpuis,  ainsi  comme  il  plaist  -^ 
Dien  de  ordooner  des  choses,  ceste  saincte  Pucclle 
futprinae  ct  martiriseedes  AngloU:  dont  UHuyJut 
mwkH  doUntf  viais  remedier  n'y  pent."  And  this,  in 
the  second  place,  is  one  of  the  most  curious  parts  of 
the  whole  matter;  from  certain  documents  quoted 
by  M.  de  Beaucourt  it  would  seem  that  the  Bastard 
of  Orleans,  who  was  so  gloriously  mixed  up  with 
Joan  of  Arc's  career,  was  dispatched  by  the  king 
on  two  secret  expeditions,  the  purpose  of  which 
was  to  rescue  the  unhappy  victim  from  the  hands 
of  the  English.  As  our  author  very  aptly  remarks, 
no  other  means  were  available,  and  acotipd^  main 
alone,  boldly  conceived  and  promptly  carried  out, 
could  have  resulted  in  La  Pucelle's  deliverance. 

Another  point  upon  which  it  mny  not  be  useless 
to  dwell  for  a  few  minutes  is  the  feud  which  broke 
out  between  the  Duke  of  Bedford  and  Philip, 
Duke  of  Burgundy.  It  is  pretty  clear  now  that 
the  former  of  these  princes  had  joined  in  a  plot 
with  Gloucester,  Suffolk,  Sulisburv,  and  others  to 
murder  the  latter,  and  that,  further,  the  Duke  of 
Brittany,  who  was  aware  o£  tba  ^awt^VTwr^^NM^^

late  M.  Michelet  is  the  Brat  historian  who  has

When  M.  Michelet  wrote  tbe  above  pamgraph 
he  was  commenting  on  a  set  of  docmueots  then 
(1835)  lost,  and  of  which  the  aummnry  only 
eiiisted.  These  pieces,  boweTer,  were  discovered

ance. From  the  learned  investigation  of  M.  de 
Beaucourt  and  a  minute  exnmtnntion  of  the  docu- 
ments under  notice,  it  is  quite  clear  (1)  thtit  the 
;iDuke8  of  Bedford  and  of  Gloucester  conspired

stable de  Richemoot,  whose  politictit  maxim^  as

justifies  the  mefi-ns,  caused  a  larfie  notnber  of

is  the  one  which  treats  of  the  diplomacy  of 
Charles  VII. ;  it  forma  six  chapters,  and  embraces 
a  subject  which  has  never  as  jet  been  discussed 
with  the  care  and  the  fulness  it  deserves.  The 
whole  of  the  intrigoe  jnst  alluded  to  between 
Richemont  and  the  Duko  of  Burgundy  is  there 
thoroughly  unravelled,  and  should  be  read  in 
connexion  with  tbe  piicc  juttijicative  printed  at 
the  end  of  the  volume.  Finnlly,  I  must  mention 
tbe  i^pirite*!  apology  made  by  ftL  de  Beaucourt  en 
bebrtff  of  Charles  VI  r.  If  we  may  believe  Nicole 
GilleSj  Cfirrozet,  Dn  Haillun,  Etienne  Pasqiijer, 
and  most  French  historians,  the  king  was  imnnora), 
•fond  of  pleasure,  and  indolent.  This  threefoM 
accusation  seems  to  me  completely  refuted  by  our 
author,  tiod  the  reason  which  has  led  so  many 
writers  to  endorse  it  is  doubtlessly  because,  on 
the  faith  of  two  or  three  apocryphal  anecdotes,  they 
have  ascribed  to  Charles  VII.  in  hi*  youth  the 
Ticps  which  unfortunately  degraded  his  okt  age, 
and  because  the  political  quiiai-DuUitT,  to  which 
I  have  previously  alluded,  and  which  circum- 
stuncea  bod  forced  upon  him,  woi  looked  upon  as 
ihe  conclusive  proof  of  sinful  and  determined 
indolence.  Gcatave  Masson.

Thb  Desk  Holes  in  Kkmt.  —  ConpiJerabI© 
attention  has  been  recently  paid  to  these  rf^ni.Lrkuble 
pits,  shrifts,  and  excarationSj  about  which  there 
baa  been  much  pp^cuhition,  as  shown  by  corre- 
apondence  in  the  Times  and  eluewhere. 

In  a  recent  work  hy  Dr.  Woisaae  on  The  In- 
diiitrial  A  rts  of  LhTiraaTh^  issued  by  the  CommiUea 
of  Council  on  Education,  there  occurs  a  posMM 
indicating  the  Une  of  inquiry  to  be  pursued  ui 
oscertAining  the  origin  and  purpose  of  these  phe- 
nomena. On  p.  16  wc  read,  relative  to  the  flint 
impletneDts  of  the  later  Stone  Ag«  : — 

*'  To  be  able  to  chip  the  hard  flint  (often  as  fraiite  as 
glass)  in  a  masterly  manner,  a  very  close  knowledge  of 
tbe  nature  of  the  material,  aa  well  as  of  wh^re  it  was  to 
be  found,  was  necessary.  As  long  a«  they  used  only  the 
loose  Mocks  lyine  scattered  about  on  the  surface  of  the 
ground  (aa  was  the  case  in  the  first  fltone  Age)  they  were 
only  ablo  to  mak^  coinp»ratively  small  and  rough  flint 
implementH.  a«,  from  the  influence  of  the  sun  and  air, 
the  flint  bnd  become  harder  and  m<~>re  brittle.  They  did 
not  kam  until  lnti.-rtbat  flint  is  much  easier  to  work  and 
faahinn  immediately  aftrr  itis  takon  from  its  natural  bed 
in  the  earth,  when  it  is  capable  of  boint;  divided  into 
much  larger  and  thinner  flakes,  while  retaining  a  certain 
amount  of  Us  inherent  moisture.  On  that  account,  fn 
the  later  period  of  the  Stone  Age,  deep  pits  with  long 
subterranean  passages  were  excaratcd  vi\  ?t^-c^«a,^%/&- 
gium,  and  £asland,  «\k«ut%  V3afctMi\'^(%fc*si:irt^'*'^*^*^***^ 


imnudiftt«lj,  and  ■ftennu-ili  cirried  from  tb«'M  plicei 
all  orer  the  eountry.  In  Denmark  no  sucb  deep  pits 
luTB  been  difcovered,  probkblj  because  the  llinc  coold 
nftdilr  be  obtained  from  the  exteneiTe  and  eaeilj  ec- 
cenlble  chalk  layen." 

Thia  seems  a  Tcry  sa-ttsfactoirway  of  tccoaofiDg 
for  these  excavations,  but  it  depends  on  one  cir- 
enmitance— Are  these  pits  and  sbafu  sunk  exalu- 
nrely  in  tbe  chalk  slratn  l 

The  Dortheni  half  of  Kent  consists  of  chalk  nnd 
marl  in  the  aoutbern  portion,  boaaded  on  the  north 
bj  the  lower  eocene  strata.  The  southern  half  of 
the  county  brings  to  the  surface  the  strata  belov 
the  chalk— tho  greonsands  and  the  Weald  clay.  It 
would  tend  much  to  the  elacidation  of  the  problem 
if  some  of  your  correspondents  in  the  county  would 
inform  ua  whether  the  shafts  are  sunk  exclusively 
in  tha  chalk,  and  possibly  in  the  London  clay 
immediately  overlying  the  chalk,  or  whether  they 
are  also  sunk  in  tbe  southern  strata,  where  no 
<:balk  exists.  J.  A,  PicTO!f.

OTiLi.  A  Dbsidcratum.— You  very  properly,  as  a 
rule,  decline  correcting  the  occasional  errors  of  your 
(M)Dtemporarie8.  All  are  liable  to  slipn.  In  the 
interest  of  Church  literature,  however,  and  to  pre- 
sent a  po«i«ible  mistake  in  tbe  mind  of  a  novice 
reading  ''The  Sarum  Ritual"  in  the  Stiturday 
Rtvitir  of  the  17th  inst.,  moy  I  venture  to  say 
that  the  expression  of  the  reviewer,  thnugh  not  his 
thought  itself,  seems  in  one  or  two  pluces  defec- 
tivot— thufl,"It[iheSuru[D]diirorsfrom  theKomao

Go«peli."  To  this  should  be  added  *'  uod  in  the 
substance  of  the  original  collects  nlRo — for  infitance, 
in  the  two  Prime  ColleL'ts — nnd  totnlly  in  that  for 
Compline,"  perhaps  the  three  most  used  of  any  by 
the  peoplo  at  lar^'e.  The  writer  goes  on  tn  say 
"  Mr.  Maskell  has  edited  the  Missal  and  Occa- 
sional Offices  of  tbe  Church.**  He  has  edited  the 
Ordinary  nnd  Canon  of  the  Mass,  but  not  the 
Missal.  The  Occasional  Offices  are  beside  the 
mark.  Tbe  reviewer  proceeds,  "They  have  between 
them  [Mr.  Mnakell  and  the  present  editors  of  the 
Breviary]  supplied  us  with  u  complete  reissue  of 
the  Offices  of  the  Church  as  imed  in  this  country 
before  the  Reformation."  Where,  then,  in  Mr. 
Maskell  and  in  the  Sarum  Breviary  of  Messrs. 
"Wordsworth  nnd  Proctrr  do  we  find  the  Introits, 
the  Kpinlles.  the  Coapels,  and  the  Qr^iduaU  and

The  Folk-lore  or  Flowers. — The  following 
quaint  fragment  of  folk-lore  is  hidden  between  the

DoBMOlFSB. — There  is  a  curious  little  mieprint 
under  this  head  in  John.son'9  Dictionary^  whii 
illustrates  at  the  8.-tme  time  how  a  trifling  error 
punctuation  may  destroy  the  sense  of  a  quoCal 
and  the  persistence  with  which  an  error  once  made 
in  print  is  again  and  again  reproduced.  In  the 
first  edition,  1755,  Johnson  had: —

Thia    illustration    from    Ben    Jonson's    pla]

A.  CT7RIOU9  ScHooLrBooc — I  possess  a  very 
carious  old  school-book,  entitled:  — 

"  Xolens  Volcns ;  or,  Yon  shall  msko  Latin -whether 
you  wit)  or  CO ;  cunt&ining  the  Plainest  Ptrectiona  that

those  tbHt  begin  to  make  Latin," 

The  sise  in  a  small  12Liia  Ko  nulhor'a  name 
appears  on  the  Litle-pnge,  but  the  educational 
preface  "To  the  Keiuler"  is  siRoed  "  Elishji 
Colea."  My  copy  is  of  "The  Second  Edition, 
Corrected."  The  imprint  is,  "London,  1677, 
Printed  by  T.  D.  for  T.  Basset  and  H.  Brome." 
It  has  a  curious  frontispiece,  representinf^a  teacher 
staadingj  dressed  in  a  sort  of  Koman  toga,  and 
lecturing  a  little  boy  who  is  seated  and  taking 
notes.  Above  is  the  Horutian  motto  "Utile 
Dulci,"  and  from  the  teAcher^a  mouth  issues  a 
acroU,  on  which  is  tbe  text,  "  From  a  child 
thou  hast  known  the  Scripturea."  The  "  hiero- 
Klyphicks"  are  most  carious  and  droll,  especially 
those  of  "Parent,"  "  Pallace,"  "  Naked,"  " Slug- 
Bard,"  "yuarrell,"  "  Quailes,"  "Scorner,"  &c. 
My  copy  is  very  clean,  and  handsomely  bound  by 
J.  Leslie,  and  pasted  inside  tbe  cover  is  a  cutting 
from  a  bookHelJer's  catalogue,  apparently  forty  or 
fifty  ^ean  old,  giving  the  above  title,  with  the 
addition,  "Curious  and  scarce;  6ne  cnpy,  9<."

Prater  Rufis.— Every  prayer  rug,  I  believe, 
has  upon  it  a  certain  symbol,  which  you  arrange — 
or,  rather,  you  aminge  the  rug— so  that  the  symbol 
shall  point  towards  Mecca  whilo  you  are  saying 
your  prayers.  In  two  prayer  rugs  thiit  I  have 
this  sign  in  alike  in  genenil  form  but  different  in 
detaiL  It  resembles  the  section  of  a  gabled  house 
—the  gable  or  chevron  at  top,  with  kingpost  and 
cross  beam  within  it,  and  under  thene  what  looks 
in  one  case  like  a  pair  of  pincers  with  three  handles 
instead  of  two,  and  in  the  other  case  tike  a  llower 
with  a  stalk  and  two  branching  leaves.  Also,  itc 
one  of  my  mgs  the  chevron  Is  double  and  inter- 
laced, and  the  house  appears  to  stand  on  three 
vertical  posta.  In  each  oaae  tbe  whole  sign  is 
worked  near  one  end  of  the  rug.  within  the  border, 
and  points  towards  that  end.  What  is  the  mean-

Thk  Hood,  a  Gams.— At  Haxey,  in  the  Isle 
of  Axholme,  a  game  called  "  the  hood  "  is  played 
annually  on  January  G,  in  commemoration,  it  ia 
said,  of  the  loss  and  recovery  of  her  hood  by  a 
certain  lady  of  the  Mowbray  family  many  centuries 
ago.  The  game,  which  waa  not  only  "  established  " 
but  also  "  endowed  "  by  the  lady  in  question,  ia 
played  somewhat  in  this  manner:— The  hood,  which 
consists  of  a  stiff  roll  of  leather,  is  thrown  up  ia 
the  middle  of  the  open  field,  on  tbe  borders  of 
which  are  posted  four  cHicial  players,  called  "  bog- 
gans,"  who  are  dressed  in  a  peculiar  uniform,  and 
whose  office  it  is  to  prevent  the  carrying  away  of 
the  hood  from  the  field.  To  carry  it  away  is  the 
object  of  the  players  in  general,  who  assemble 
from  the  several  hamlets  of  which  the  parish  is 
composed,  each  anxious  to  secure  the  victory  for 
bis  own  particular  hamlet.  The  game,  as  may  be 
supposed,  is  u  very  rough  one,  and  limbs  are  Dot 
unfrequently  broken  over  it.  Once  off  the  field 
the  hood  is  borne  to  one  of  the  public-houses  in 
the  victorious  hamlet,  and  there  liberally  "basted" 
with  ale,  of  which  "seductive  flooid'*ihe  victors 
are  also  supposed  to  be  entitled  to  as  much  aA.^\n.

Id  the  coDtiguous  p&rish  of  Kpwortb  a  BimiUr

Arms  of  Qovxrmor  Walkkr.  —  Arms  are 
aaid  to  afford  a  means  of  tracing  descents;  let  me, 
therefore,  mention — ns  a  warning,  and  in  hope  of 
deriving  information — those  of  Governor  Walker, 
of  Deny.  I  am  informed  that  thofle  in  a  niemoriHl 
window  in  Derry  Oathedral  are  wrong.  I  wished 
to  know  the  right  ones,  and  obtained  a  sketch  of 
those  over  his  monument  in  Gistle  Cuulfield 
Church,  where  he  and  his  wife  are  buried.  Those 
last  arms  agree  with  those  on  a  stone  in  Mully- 
gruen  Qouse,  said  to  hare  been  built  by  him 
(see  Lewis's  Tapog.  BMonary,  1838) ;  but  they 
do  not  agree  with  any  arms  of  any  Walker  in 
Burke's  Qsntral  Armory,  1847.  And  those  on  the 
wife's  half  of  the  shield  are  certainly  not  those  of 
Walker's  wife,  who  was  a  Maxwell  of  Finnibrogue. 
I  cannot  learn  whom  Walker's  father  married,  but 
he  was  A  Yorkshireman.  Now  comes  a  third 
puzzle.  In  one  of  the  archivological  journals  there 
la  a  portrait  of  Walker,  taken  from  a  print,  giving 
a  di^erent  shield  from  either  of  the  above,  viz.,  a 
hUck  shield  with  a  lion  rampant. 

Tho  arms  in  the  cathedral  window  are  :  In  chief 
pnrp.  three  etogs'  heads;  ia  bnae  arg.  a  chevron 
purp.  beLweea  three  crosses  crosslet.  Tbe  armsou 
Walker's  tomb  are  :  Dexter,  or  husbaud'a,  side, 
in  chief  gu.  a  lion  passant  or,  fretty  io  base. 
Sinister  Ride,  tn  chief  org.  two  Maltese  crosses  or 
above  a  chevron  arg.,  charged  with  three  cinqne- 
foiis  ;  in  base  gu.  a  Maltese  crotB  or.  Creat,  a 
demi-lion. 

Is  nnythio?  known  of  Walker's  Yorkshire  an- 
ceitoral  In  Knight's  lUugtraUd  Hisfory  of  Eng- 
land it  is  stated  that  Wulker  was  a  Presbyterian 
niniRtcr.  Thia  ia  wrong  ;  Walker  belonged  to  tbe 
Church  of  EngUnd,  as  did  his  father  before  him.

It  is  a  great  pity  that  people  who  wish  to  reply 
to  a  note  in  "  N.  &  Q.'*  do  not  first  r* al  OTer  the 
not*  two  or  three  times  if  they  do  not  clearly 
apprehend  its  drift  the  first  time ;  and  they 
would  do  well  also  to  have  the  note  before  them 
whilst  thsy  nre  writing  their  answer,  and  cot  to 
trust  to  the  imprcstion  which  they  gathered  from 
reading  the  note  perhsps  days  before.  If  M.  Esto- 
CLKT  had  done  these  things,  1  feel  sure  bis  reply 
•would  hsTO  oosumed  a  rery  different  form.  He 
seems  to  think  that  my  ohjeot  in  writiof;  my  note 
(vi.  29)  was  to  show  that  the  Ital.  f}itUamaglio 
was— pttlla  (ii  nistjlio,  and  notpullaa  moglio.  Dut 
nothing  WHS  further  from  my  thoughts.  K,  when 
I  vos  writing  my  note,  I  bod  noticed  >L  EeTo- 
CLwf6  ooramunicatioD  {C**»  S.  iii.  45fii.  in  which 
b«  shows  that  the  form  p'tiht  a  mn/jlio  was  once 
in  use,  I  thould  nerer  baTe  suggested  the  form 


jNtUd  da  viai^lio  ;  hut  it  did  not  come  under  my 
notice  until  ajdr  the  proof  came  from  the  printer's, 
when  it  was  scarcely  possible  to  alter  the  text,  and  so 
I  added  the  last  nine  lines  of  note  §  (vi.  29),  and  was 
Qorefal  to  say  that  I   had  done  so.     All  that  I 
wanted  to  show  was  that  pallamaglio  must  be 
understood  as  if  some  preposition  intervened  b^ 
tween  palla  and  mafjUo,  and  it  did  not  matter  to 
me  in   the  least  whether  that  preposition  wa?  </'t 
or  a,  as  either  would  prove  my  coae  against  Pr.or. 
Skkat.     For,  if  paUcmaglio  is— either  palla  da 
maglio  or  pnlla  a  niagliot  and  M.  Estoclkt  allows 
that  11=710/^  fi  magliOfthtn  it  cannot  possibly 
mean  hall-malUt,  aa  Peof.  Sebat  says  ;  and   ' 
is  all  that  I  was  contending  for.     But,  if  M.  Es' 
CLET  maintains  that  palla  a  vi'iglio  can  mean  h 
malUt,  OS  he  apparently  does  *  then  I  cun  only  u^ 
that  he  must  be  ill  acquainted  either  with  Italian 
or  with  Eoglisb  ;   and  as  in  this  case  the  a  in 
Italian  is  used  in  much  the  same  way  as  it  oftSB 
is  in  Fcench,  and  I  take  M.  Estoclrt  to  be  a 
Frenchman,  it  is  probably  his  knowledge  of  Eo^- 
lish  which  is  at  fault.     When  iu  Italian  or  French 
one  substantive  is  joined  to  another  by  the  prep.  cS| 
tbefirstword  is  the  principal  word,  and  the  substan- 
tive irhich  foUoivs  the  a  qualifies  the  other  and  her 
comes  a  sort  of  adjective  to  it,  and  as  such  must 
in  the  English  equivslent  compound  word  stand 
Jirtt.     Thus,  montin  <^  vint  is  in  £ng.  winduiill  ; 
macchina   a  rapore,  steam-machine  (or  engine)^ 
In  the  same  way,  therefore,  palla  a  maglio  most 
be  in   Eng.  maUet-ball,  and   not  ball-mallet,  a» 
Pnor.  Skeat  and  M.  Estoclkt  m&intain.t 

But  M.  Estoclkt  not  only  aocusee  me  of  wish- 
ing to  substitute  da  for  a  in  jwii/a  u  matjUo,  ho 
also  maintains  that  palla  da  vtajfiio  is  not  Italian. 
Now,  I  am  of  opinion  that  one  ought  not  to  be 
too  positive  with  regard  to  points  of  grammar  evcB 
in  one's  own  native  langusge,  and  that  one  cannot 
be  too  careful  in  the  case  of  a  foreign  language, 
and  I  believe  Itatisn  to  bo  a  foreign  language  tfr 
M.  Estoclkt.  ralta  da  maglio  is  no  doubt  not 
the  usual  form,  but  the  wnrd  is  on  old  one,  and 
the  tendency  of  modem  Italian  is  to  snbstitni

positions  ia  shown  by  the  fact  that  in  the  Venetian 
dialect  (see  Boerio's  i>tr/.}  tnolxn  d^  vento  (wind- 
mill) ia  used,  whilst  in  p:iro  Italian  it  is  mulino  a 
vento,  as  stated  abore.  And  so,  again,  coffee-mill 
is  mnUTullo  da  caffi  in  pare  Italian,  but  mn/m  a 
eafi:  in  the  Piedmontase  dialect  (see  Sant'  Albino'a 
DiH.). 

It  eeems  to  me,  however,  that  a,  rfd,  and  di  hare 
not  precisely  tbe  same  meaning  iu  the  examples 
gireu  abore.  Let  as  suppose  that  a  baa  the  mean< 
ing  assigned  to  it  by  M.  KaTOCLiT,  though  I  am 
by  no  means  snre  nbout  it  ,*  then  da  has  not  this 
meaning,  but  signifies  nih^t  fitted  for,  tuiiabU  for, 
adapUd  to.  Thus  in  palla  a  naglio  we  should 
have  the  idea  of  the  mallet  being  used  to  set  tbe 
ball  in  motion,  whilst  in  palla  da  mayUo  it  would 
be  simply  that  the  ball  is  fit  to  be  used  with  a 
mallet,  without  any  idea  of  motion.  And  so  in 
mulino  a  V€nto  and  moUn  da  wnto;  in  the  former 
oose  the  wind  ia  regarded  a^  tbe  propelling  iustru- 
ment,  whilst  in  tbe  latter  the  mill  is  regarded  aa 
suitably  constructed  for  its  use  with  wind.  With 
regard  to  di,  the  notion  of  possession,  or  belonging 
to,  is  of  course  inherent  m  it.  Thus  pnlla  di 
rannone  is  simply  a  ball  which  belongs  to  a  cannon 
and  is  used  with  it,  whilst  jtalla  da  cannonf  (see 
note  X)  would  moan  a  ball  suitable  for  a  caanon,  and 
palla  a  cannone  {it  used)  would,  according  to  M. 
KsiuCLKT  at  leas&i  mean  a  ball  to  be  propelled  by 
a  cannon.  The  preposition  is  selected,  therefore, 
in  accordance  with  tbe  idea  which  it  is  intended 
to  convey,  but  it  cannot  be  said  ibnt  the  preposi- 
tion choeon  is  more  or  less  correct  (grammatltMlly 
{•peaking}  than  the  other  two. 

We  have  a  similar  uncertainty  of  expresaion  in 
other  languages ;  for  compare  the  Gerui.  Miitagt'

another  on  which  the  labours  of  Hercules  are 
SDulplurcd  was,  until  two  years  ago,  at  Volterra; 
nnd  uiany  otheni  could  be  mentioned.  Few 
arcbteologLBts  now  doubt  that  such  are  of  Byz:in- 
tine  work,  nod  not  earlier  in  genenil  than  the 
«leTeuth  or  twelfth  centuries;  but  it  is  not  ton;; 
since  antiquaries,  deceived  by  their  pseudo- 
classical  style,  supposed  them  to  date  from  the 
earlier  centuries  of  our  eriL  2.  The  **  arabesques 
of  the  ago  of  Charlemagne"  are  not  on  (ubletH,  but 
on  long  strips  let  iuLo  and  furmiog  putt  of  the 
chair.  3.  The  "oak  frauiework  "  is  made  of  very 
rough  pieces  alLuched  to  the  outside  of  the  cbiiir, 
the  upright  pieces  are  of  the  enme  height  as  the 
uprights  of  the  chair  itself,  and  the  anterior  up- 
rights are  cut  so  aa  to  albw  them  to  be  fitted  on 
to  the  uprights  of  the  chnir  in  such  a  manner  that 
they  envelope  a.  part  of  the  front  nnd  the  whole  of 
the  sides  of  these  Inst,  and  probably  hide  strips  of 
carving  in  ivory  let  into  the  sides  of  the  uprights 
of  the  chair.  There  fire  in  ull  live  uprights  in  the 
framework,  four  at  the  angles  and  one  in  the 
centre  of  the  back  ;  these  in  each  case  are  of  the 
eame  height  aa  the  part  of  the  choir  to  which  they 
ore  affixed.  It  is,  therefore,  clear  either  that  the 
chair  was  made  to  fit  the  framework,  or  the  frame- 
work to  fit  the  chair.  Kvidently  the  latter  is  the 
more  probable  supposition.  It  certainly  does  not 
seem  probable  that  venenitcd  relics  would  be  cut 
and  trimmed  and  then  affixed  to  the  outride  of  a 
new  chair;  mnch  readier  and  more  seemly  methods 
of  presorving  and  exhibiting  them  could  e^isily  have 
been  devised.  The  upright  pieces  have  iron  rings 
attached  to  them  through  which  poles  could  bo 
passed,  and  to  me  it  seera^  probable  tbnt  thei^e 
voagb  and  clumsy  additions  were  mode  at  some 
early  date,  say  the  eleventh  century,  when  it  was 
determined  to  use  the  chair  as  a  **  sella  gestatoria." 
It  was  so  used  in  the  thirteenth  and  some  follow- 
ing centuries.  4.  There  does  not  appfar  to  be 
any  uncieut  tradition  attaching  to  this  framework. 
Carlo  Fontona*  who  made  a  report  on,  and  a  rough 
drawing  of,  the  chair  ia  1V06,  speaks  of  the  up- 
rights as  "quattro  riporti,"  ».«.,  four  additions, 
vbioh  he  says  were  of  pine  wood.  SoordoveUi,

May  I  say  one  word  on  the  question  of  the 
of  the  small  tablets  inserted  in  the  famous 
(so  called)  o(  St.  Peter  7  There  is  no  doubt  that 
it  is  difficult  to  decide  with  absolute  certainty  at 
what  period  they  were  executed  ;  but  I  quits 
agree  with  Mr.  Nksbitt,  whose  opinion  with  re- 
gard to  ivories  is  entitled  to  the  highest  respect, 
that  they  were  executed  in  the  eleventh  or  early 
in  the  twelfth  century.  The  well-known  Veroli 
casket  in  the  South  Kensington  Museum  is  pro- 
bably the  finest  example  existing  of  the  kind  of 
work  and  peculiar  style;  and  the  panels  are 
described  in  my  book  on  Aledurval  Ivoria,  p.  48, 
with  some  remarks  on  the  probable  date  in  the 
preface,  p.  51.  They  are,  as  I  believe,  oertainly 
not  so  early  as  the  first  century,  according  to  De 
Hossi,  nor  even  of  the  time  of  Charlemagne,  ai 
your  correspondent,  Mr.  E.  KASDOLrn,  supposes: 
The  date  of  Charlemagne  is  impossible:  it  is  not 
credible  that  they  could  have  been  carved  at  that 
time.  On  the  other  hand,  the«e  little  plaques 
which  ornament  the  chair,  the  Bides  of  the  Veroli 
casket,  und  some  two  or  three  other  known  pieoes, 
are  undeniably  subject  to  various  difHoaltiea  and 
doubts,  even  when  we  have  (as  it  were)  made  up 
our  minds  to  attribute  them  to  the  eleventh  or 
twelfth  century.  W.  MASKKt^U

heir,  to  uoiqubill  A.Ddrev  Haig,"  in  bis  peiiDiIc»9 
Moadition,  to  bold  &d  eaCate  so  deeply  emairnvsed 
Briibout  coniiderable  help  froii)  his  uncle  Wdliatn  ; 
^nd  Mr.  KutMell'ii  theory  (p.  172),  that  Robert  and 
^wUliam   Htiia  were  not  on  f;ood  terms,  is  sup- 
ported  by  the  fact  that  WilHara's  assifrnntiou  of 
the  estate  to  Andrev  is  witoeased  by  James,  the 
larth  son,  and  not,  as  might  bare  been  expected, 
either  of  the  intermediate  brotfaers,  BoWt  or 
rge  (p,   174).      Now  William   Haig  was  un- 
mbtedly  in  a  position  to  compel  Robert  to  con> 
»nt  to  this  transfer  of  mortgage  of  May  15,  16S7, 
whioh  (though  iNQUtRKR  does  not  mention  it) 
le  right  of  redemption  was  expressly  reserved  to 
^Uliam  Hui;;  and  hia  heirs  or  assignees  (p.  ISl), 
lus  completely  barring  Robert  from  ever  obtaining 
le  enlttte   I'xcept    by    favour  of  his  uncle,  who 
Ireinly  held  the  life  rent. 
Shortly  after  William  H.iig's  flfghfc  the  eatate 
into  the  possession  of  Lord  Hay  of  Yester ; 
rr  when  David  Haig  got  bis  charter  the  estate  is 
ruentioned  as  having  "  belonged  before  to  John, 

Cird  Hay  of  Tester  "(p.  227). 
S.  Ikqctirkr  says,  "  Tbo  statement  in  the  genea- 
ly  preserved  at  Bcmcrsyde,  compiled  in  1699 
ly  Obudiah  Haig,  then  resident  there  with  his 
uocle  Anthony,  the  laini,  completely  demolishes 
"'le  theory  of  the  identity  of  the  two  Roberta." 
looting  from  this  authority,  he  says,  further, 
tat  "  Robert  nnd  several  of  his  younger  (sic) 
roihers  after  their  mother's  second  marriage  wont 
the  Boliemian  wars  in  1630,  and  there  sup- 
sd  to  be  lost.' " 
Perhaps  I  m»y  be  permitted  to  qitote  Obndiali 
big's  statement  in  full;  "Andrew,  the  eldest 
m,  discontentedly  left  Bemersyde,  with  six  of 
\U  brothers,  about  the  year  1630,  on  his  mother 
larrying  again  (after  his  father's  death)  contrary 
their  liking,  and  travelled  to  the  Bohemian 
ra,  where  we  suppose  him  lost."  Of  the  six 
tthers,  with  the  exception  of  David,  the  same 
liug  in  recorded  ;  "  Wont  to  the  Bobemiun  wars 
1630,  and  there  sapposed  to  be  lost"  (p.  182, 
tU). 

jNQriKBR   would    havo   stated    the  case   more 

^rly    if  he   had    not    suppressed   tbo   fact  that 

liiih  Haijf,  on  whose  pcdij^TDe  ho  relies,  made 

remarkable  blunder  regarding  Ajidrew  (who, 

irding  to  Inqvirsr,  was  the  immediate  pre- 

i8or  in  the  estates  of  Aathooy's  father  David), 

id  that  this  glaring  error  reoudned  uncorrected 

Anthony  Huig. 

Now,  Obadiub    Haig  had  been  brought  up  in 

■rica.  and  was  only  in  this  country  for  a  short 

Collecting  the  materiaU  for  bis  genealo;^y 

oa  a  visit  at  Bemersyde,  he  drew  it  up  in 


London  (p.  33d),  and  it  would  indeed  be  wonderful 
if,  under  the  circomstancea,  it  did  not  oontoiu 
some  intLocuraciea. 

Inquirkr  aeetna  to  think  that  the  value  of 
Obadiah  Haifa's  genealogy  ia  enhanced  by  being 
printed  in  Sir  Robert  Douglas's  Baronage,  pab- 
lifihed  in  179S;  hub  a  comparison  of  the  accoant 
given  by  Sir  Robert  of  the  career  of  Anthony 
Haig,  who  died  in  1712,  with  the  actual  life  and 
hnbita  of  that  individual  as  pictured  by  Mr. 
Russell,  may  throw  an  interesting  light  upon  the 
value  of  the  family  historv  of  that  period  (Huiyi 
of  Btmertydt,  p.  S8d,  note). 

3.  Had  Antoony  Haig  been  the  "representa- 
tive** of  the  Bemersyde  fiimily,  in  the  sense  of 
eldest  male  heir,  at  the  time  of  hia  law  suit  in 
1671  (p.  295,  '•  Hague  v.  Moscrop."  Stair's  Dici- 
iiorUf  ii.  15),  he  would  not  have  been  compelled 
to  resign  hia  estate  on  the  ground  that  his  grand- 
uncle  William  Haig,  through  whom  he  claimed, 
had  been  forfeited  in  1633.  For  Andrew  Haig, 
undoubtedly  the  lost  person  seised  of  the  estota 
before  David  Haig,  hod  died  in  1627,  and,  as 
Robert  is  mentioned  as  his  heir,  the  estate  could 
not  have  been  affected  by  William  Haig*.i  forfeiture 
in  1633.  It  will  be  seen,  then,  that  the  result  of 
the  proceedings  reported  in  <S'.'air,  ii.  15,  is  that 
David  Huig,  the  ^tber  of  Anthony,  was  held  to 
have  taken  Bemersyde  not  by  descent,  but  by  deed 
of  gift  from  his  ancle  William  Haig,  which  the 
forfeiture  of  the  latter  rendered  void.  In  con- 
sequence of  this  decision  Anthony  resigned  the 
estates  to  the  Crown,  and  received  a  fresh  charter 
(p.  295). 

4.  With  regard  to  iHQOniBR'a  lost  statement^ 
the  Clackmannanshire  Haigs  have  for  generations 
claimed  descent  from  the  Bemersyde  family,  and 
there  is  in  the  possession  of  one  of  them  an  old 
pedigree,  formerly  tho  property  of  the  tate  Gene- 
ral Sir  William  Moriaon,  M.P.  (who  died  1850), 
from  which  the  following  Is  an  extract : — 

"l')13  J&mes  Hntg,  Laird  of  ikmorsydc,  had  8  sooi, 
one  of  whom, 

"  tti»bert.  rairriflJ  J»no  Greis.  H«  loft  Bemorsydo, 
and  resided  at  St.  Ntntans.  Stirling. 

"  John,  hia  son,  murried  Isobcl  Ramsay,  and  resided 
in  ClackmaonaDflhire.'' 

It  is  also  a  well-known  fact  that  in  1745  the 
Laird  of  Bemersyde  came  to  Alloa  to  endeavour  to 
persuade  his  Clackmannanshire  relations  to  join 
Prince  Charles  Edward's  standard.

death,  without  issue,  some  six  or  seven  months 
afterwards,  his  less  scrupulous  cousin  Isabel  be- 
came such  heir,  and  styled  herself  Bftroneas  BiUh- 
ven,  her  husband.  CoL  Johnston,  tnkinf;  the  nnnie 
of  Ruthven.  T.  T.  is  aware  of  this  lost  fact,  but 
not  of  the  reason  why  he  did  so,  "  as  early  as 
17S3  at  any  rate/'  when,  according  to  him,  Jean, 
Lady  Ruthven,  his  wife's  aunt,  was  yet  alive  and 
in  poseeastOD  of  the  est&tes.  and  about  to  be  "  re- 
cognized 08  a  peeress"  by  George  IT.  Isabel  died 
June,  1732,  and  was  succeeded  by  her  son  James. 
The  peemge  of  Ruthven,  then,  aince  the  death  of 
the  second  lord  in  1701,  has  been  acknowledged  (1) 
by  the  Scotch  Union  Roll  in  1707;  (2)  by  summons* 
to  coronations  ;  (3)  by  the  report  of  the  Lords  of 
Session  on  the  peersf^e  of  Scotland  in  1740;  and 
(4)  by  (valeai  quantum  !)  the  voting  at  the  election 
of  Scotch  peers,  1733  to  1774,  and  possibly  loter. 
On  the  other  hand,  there  is  no  patent  nor  enroll- 
ment thereof,  nor  is  there  even  a  copy  of  sucb 
patent  nor  any  docquet  or  sign  manual  thereof  to 
prove  any  Fpecial  limitation  of  the  honour  to  have 
been  intended;  and  there  is  the  fact  (inexplicable 
if  snch  limitation  existed)  that  the  f^mndson  of 
the  grantee,  being  both  heir  of  line  and  of  entail, 
was  in  possession  of  the  family  estate,  but  did  not 
nssnme  the  title.  Wonderful,  indeed,  are  the 
devolutions  of  Scotch  peerages,  but  I  should  be 
glad  to  know  if  any  peerage  passed  (aa  this  is 
conjectured  to  have  done)  under  a  general  entail 
of  lands  by  the  owner  in  possession  icithont  such 
grant  of  peerage  having  been  e&preAnly  named

I  do  not^hiok  heraldic  vanes  are  sn  uncommon 
AS  Mr.  TATr.oR  suppotes.  A  good  example  may 
he  seen  at  Lambeth  Fulace,  where  the  archiepis- 
oopal  arms  figure  on  the  vane  of  the  hall,  which 
was  built  by  Archbishop  Juxon,  and  ia  now  used 
as  the  library.  The  grasshopper  on  the  vane  of 
the  Koyal  Exchange  is  the  crest  of  Sir  Thomas 
Oresham,  tbe  founder  of  the  building  ;  and  the 
dragon  on  the  steeple  of  Bow  Church  is,  I  sup- 
pose, one  of  the  supporters  of  tbe  City  arms.

There  is  a  very  large  vnne  at  St.  John's  Church,

There  is  over  Marlston  House,  Berks,  now  the

meet  with  tbe  word  rapid  for  violent,  as  applied 
to  pain;  thus,  speaking  of  a  poor  fellow  su^eriog 
from  inflammation,  I  was  told,  "  The  pains  doan'b

tbe  belief  that  "  the  hatred  of  this  is  a«cribed  by 
many  to  reminiscences  of  Danish  times,"  I  would 
bring  the  French  proverb  quoted,  the  goneril  be- 
lief among  European  nations  evidenced  in  what  I 
believe  is  tbe  fact  that  Judas  was  universally  re- 
presented as  red-haired,  and  in  the  belief  given 
by  Batman  uppon  Bariholomty  v.  66,  when  speak-

haired  men  is  unsparingly  denounced;  but  for  my 
present  purpose  I  prefer  citing  the  authority  of  M. 
Cyrano  de  Bergerac,  a  man  of  fashion  of  the  seven-

Although  Gibson  does  make  the  remarks  quoted 
in  his  **  addition  **  to  Camden,  which  remarks  nre 
repeated  verbatim  in  Gougb's  translation,  Camden 
himself  repeatedly  talks  of  tbe  Isis  in  his  descrip- 
tions of  Gloucestershire  and  Oxfordshire,  and 
quotes  extmcti  from  a  Latin  poem  called  the 
Marriage  of  Thainu  and  Imu  : — 
"  Pixerat ;  unito  consnrgit  et  unm  amore 

LsDtior  exultant  duqc  nomine  Taniiria  uno, 

Oceanamquo  patrem,  qnercus  jactautior  undas 

Promorwt." 
The  following  are  other  examples  of  the  use  of  this 
name  by  aocieut  scholars  :  Itanulphus  Hi^denus, 
monk  of  Chester,  temp.  Kichurd  II.,  in  his  Poly- 
e^onvcort,  &c,  says,  **  Tamisia  ridetar  componi 
h  norainibua  dnorum  £uminum,  qme  sunt  Thama 
et  Ysa  aut  L'sx  Thama  curreos  juxta  Dorces- 
triam  Cadit  in  Ysam,  inde  totua  daviua  ik  sno 
exortu  usque  ad  mare  orientale  dit^itur  Tbamisin,'* 
&C.  And  in  relating  tbe  history  of  Dorchester,  he 
■ays,  "Villam  humilem,  ad  austrum  Oxoniie  juxta 
Waliingford.  inter  coUapsus  duomm  flnminum 
Thams  et  Ysdb  sitam."  Tbe  antiquary  Leiand 
thns  mentiona  the  rivei's  source  :  "  lata  nseth  at 
three  miles  from  Cirenceatre,  not  far  from  a  village 
cawtled  Kemble^  within  half  a  mile  of  the  fosse- 
wav,  wher  the  very  bed  of  Isis  ys." 

I'he  learned  Welshman,  Lhwyd,  in  his  Bnviary 
cf  Hritayns^  on  mentioning  Dorchester,  states, 
'^Neero  where  the  Tbame  diachargeth  himftelfe 
into  Isis,  from  whence  the  name  Taroesis,  the 
Thames,  proceedeth."  Stowe,  in  hia  AnnaU  of 
England,  referring  to  the  Thames,  writes  "that 
most  excellent  and  goodly  river  hath  first  tbe 
name  of  Ise,  &g.,  and  it  takcth  first  the  name 
of  Tumise,  neere  to  Dorchester-bridjje,  where  the 
river  Thame  and  the  foresaid  Tse  meete."  Speed, 
In  his  Thtittrc  of  Grtai  Britayne^  says,  •'The 
Ttiiniie  and  Isla  making  their  bed  of  Diarrlage 
near  unto  Dorchcater,  iqd  tbeooc  together  in  one 


d 


channel  and  name,  Thamisis";  and  in  speakint: 
of  the  name  Oose,  he  says,  "  By  the  Latinea  ciilied 
Isis." 

Finally,  Holllnshed,  in  his  ChronitUt  of  Eng- 
land, gives  his  opinion  as  follows  :  "  The  Thamos 
at  its  source  is  sometimes  named  the  Isitt,  or  Oitse, 
althoagh  dtjvert  doe  xgnoraHHtiyt  call  it  Th.tntcJ, 
rather  of  a  foolithe  custome  than  of  any  skill,  be-

EoRT  (6"*  S.  vi.  429).— The  etymology  of  this 
word  is  not  difBcult  to  fiod.  It  is  doubtlens  de- 
rived from  the  Dutch  Rubatantive  boor,  signifying 
piercer,  borer,  &c.  Holland  bos  ]oog  enjoyed 
almost  a  monopoly  of  the  art  of  cutting  und 
poliKbing  diamonds  and  other  very  bard  precious 
stones, and  Amsterdam  is  still  an  importantcentre  of 
that  industry.  No  substance  will  cat  a  diamond  but 


the  diamond  itnelf,  and  for  that  purpose  diamond 
dust  is  employed  by  lapidaries.  In  cutting  a 
diamond  every  particle  of  the  dust  is  carvfnily 
collected,  to  bo  afterwards  again  used  ;  but  the 
chief  ftupply  of  this  dust  is  obtained  by  crushing  to 
powder  inferior  diamonds,  splinters  and  fragments 
of  diumonds,  and  black  or  anthracitio  diamonds 
(sometimes  called  carbonado)^  all  of  which  are 
collectively  known  in  the  trade  as  bort  Scarce 
any  English  dictionary  or  encyclopsdia  contains 
the  word,  which  has  long  been  in  common  u^e 
among  diamond  deolemnnd  lapidaries  to  designate 
the  inferior  stones  nod  fragments  I  have  niinied. 
bort  is  also  much  employed  in  rock-borine  drills, 
and  for  piercing  boles  in  rubies  and  diamonds  used 
in  watch-making.  The  price  of  bort  varies,  accord- 
ing to  quality,  from  thirty  to  fifty  shillings  a  carat. 
It  is  a  very  Bigatfieant  word.

weelily.  I  bhw  the  process  of  manufacture  a  few 
weeks  since,  and  I  believe  they  told  me  they  made 
«ight  hundred  or  nine  hundred  per  week.  The 
implement  itself  ia  called  a  "dolly/  the  tub  in 
which  the  clolhos  are  washed  is  the  " dolly-tub/ 
and  the  verb  "  to  dolly "  ia  derived  from  the 
nperatioa  ;  thuawespeak  of  "dollying  tbeclothes/ 
The  verb  is  a  regular  transitive  verb,  usnble  in  all 
moods  and  tenses.  In  some  parts  of  Cheshire  this 
primitire,  but  most  efl'ective  wiinhing-macbine  is 
called  a  **  peggy."  T  do  not  think  ibis  is  intended 
aa  a  female  name,  like  Dolly,  but  refers  to  the  pegij 
or,  as  Ma.  Jackson  culls  them,  legs,  which  nre 
fixed  in  the  broad,  circular  portion  ;  but  it  is  pos- 
sible both  ideas  may  have  been  present  when  the 
jiame  was  first  invented. 

But  we  have  in  use  In  my  own  house  a  dolly 
which  merits  the  name  of  washing-rnoc/ttne  much 
more  than  does  the  ordinary  implement,  inasmuch 
as  it  ia  worked  by  mechanical  action.  It  is  a  very 
old  machine,  which  belonged  to  my  father's  aunt, 
und  we  inherited  it,  with  her  other  goods  and 
cbutlels,  forty-five  years  ago.  It  bos  been  in  cod- 
fitant  use  ever  ^ince,  but  has,  Datumlly,  required 
slight  repairs  at  iutervnis.  I  never  saw  but  this 
one  until  a  few  weeks  ago,  when  one  of  the  same 
^construction,  and  about  as  old,  was  sold  by  auction 
at  Newton  Hall,  near  Frodsbam. 

This  dolly  consists  of  a  tub,  about  eighteen  or 
twenty  inches  deep,  with  straight  sideft,  the  base 
being  considerably  broader  than  the  top.  Two  of 
the  ataves,  or  as  Cheshire  people  call  them  **  log;*,'' 
of  the  barrel  are  extended  into  handles,  which  are 
not  only  for  the  purpose  of  lifting  the  tub,  but  of 
holding  the  lid  in  its  pLice.  In  this  tub  works  a 
dolly,  or  peggy,  of  the  usual  construction  below, 
"but  at  the  top,  instead  of  having  a  cross  handle  to 
be  worked  with  txco  hands  it  has  a  small  square 
framework  projecting  from  one  side,  to  be  held  in 
<mi  Land  in  order  to  work  the  machine.  The 
peggy  works  tbrou[;b  a  hole  in  the  lid,  but  cannot 
be  taken  away  from  it  ;  the  two  being  only  re- 
movable together.  On  the  upper  side  of  the  lid 
is  a  circle  of  iron,  and  on  the  sh;ift  of  the  peggy 
Are  two  small  iron  friction  wheels,  which  run  round 
upon  the  circular  iron,  taking  olf  a  great  deal  of 
toe  strain  of  the  work.  The  clothes  being  put  into 
the  tub  and  the  top  6xed  on,  ibe  operator  takes 
hold  of  the  framework  above  and  turu.t  the  peggy 
backwards  and  forward?,  so  that  it  bball  make  half 
A  revolution  at  each  turn.  The  work  is  tolerably

ard  work,  nod  there  nre  somethings  which  would  nerer 
get  done  at  all  without  bis  aid.  Amunijit  them  may 
e  reckoned  tbe  compilation  of  a  big  book  of  over  five 
hundred  p4g«s,  all  full  of  chronograms,  which  was  worth 
doing  once,  If  only  to  prevent  these  quaint  tnflvs  from 
beinR  quite  fori{ott<n.  Tbe  chronogram  is  not  a  work 
of  high  art  Used  now  and  then  in  an  inscription  or  an 
epigram  it  ii  pleasant  enough,  but  U  mighleosily  become

■uggested  by  an  alphabet  each  tetter  of  which  has  a 
nnnierical  T«luo.  No  worse  guess  wms  ever  made  thati 
Addison's,  thot  it  was  Invented  by  "monkish  ignorance." 
It  was  in  the  sfTC  of  pedsnttc  dulness  which  fc^UoweJ  on 
the  Renaissance  that  this  "trick  of  writing  requiririic 
much  time  and  little  capacity  "chiefly  flourished,  and, 
although  the  Belgian  Jesuits  appear  to  have  been  tbe 
greatest  abusers  of  it,  some  Oennan  Protestants  were 
nearly  u  bad.  A  true  chronogram  should  record  an 
event  in  it<  words,  and  the  date  of  it  in  ita  numericsl 
letter*.  Srjme  of  th'rfie  which  Mr.  Hilton  has  found  du 
not  fulfil  this  CBDun.  Sometimes  part  uf  the  composition 
only  is  chronogrammtc*  and  often  the  words  have  little 
connexion  with  the  event.  Besides  what  msy  be  con- 
sidered thrir  legitimate  u^e,  chronoxrams  have  been 
preMed  into  the  service  of  adulation,  invective,  oontro* 
verny,  siid  even  superstition.  Soma  accidental  chrono* 
grams  are  curious  —  as,  for  initinee,  oKOHolVe  DVX

out  that  the  name  LVDoVICV'k  gives  the  number  of  the 
Beast  must  have  thought  he  hsd  made  a  great  diicovery. 
Mr.  Bitton 'shook  shows  that  there  is  humour  even  In 
chronMrmms,  and  we  advise  our  rcadrri  to  look  for  it 
there.  The  compiler  takes  his  leave  with  achronogrammic

Thb  little  work,  though  In  folio  fixe,  will  be  found  verj 
bxndy  as  a  manual  for  all  points  connected  with  the 
calendar.  In  the  compass  of  twenty  three  pages  it  gives 
niUs  and  tablet  for  finding  out  any  date  from  A^V.  1200» 
extending  even  to  the  year  2O0o.  Prof.  De  Morgan's 
famous  little  Hook  of  Aimanact  must,  we  think,  alwaya 
remain  the  standard  sctentiAe  work  on  the  subject* 
whilst  Mr.  Bond's  Uaudif  Book  of  DoUm  will  supplement 
(r(.pet.ially  for  the  reirna^  year*  of  British  tovereiiarns)  alt 
that  is  iiecewary  fnr  F.ngtiRh  history.  But  this  new  book 
i-f  Mr.  WhitwrrLh's  can  lind  room  for  itself,  and  will 
make  its  own  way.  Its  preface  gives  a  brief  but  very 
admirable  account  of  the  two  calendars  of  tbe  Western 
world,  though  we  regret  that  the  name  of  Lord  Chester- 
field should  hare  been  omitted  in  the  history  of  onr 
change  to  tho  Gregurittn  calendar  in  175'J.  Mr.  Whit- 
worth  follows  the  old  arrangement  of  the  Breviuries  and 
tbe  Pica,  grouping  all  possible  combinations  of  movable 
fcasta,  which  require  dovelaJlingwiib  fixed  fesstff,  under 
the  seven  Dominical  Letters— a  system  which,  tbougli 
somewhat  put  aside  by  I>e  Morgan,  still  commi^oda  itself 
fur  ready  use,  and  will  be  at  once  familiar  to  Ibe  in- 
creasing  number  (f  liturgical  students.  One  fenture  in 
the  book  dcMrves  especial  praise— provision  is  made  for 
every  leap-year  by  il*elf,Bo  that  we  are  spared  having  (n 
consult  two  tables  for  one  year,  as  hitherto  wo  have  had 
to  do.  The  book  receives  further  value  from  its  being 
connected  with  the  name  of  the  Rev.  W.  Lunn.a  well- 
known  liturgical  scholar  and  JoirDcd  writer  in  8mi(b'»

TS~OP  THE  LIVIXG  TO  THE  DEAD. 

icconnt  giTcn  by  A.  J.  M.  (antty  p.  45)  of 

rttdford'a  visit  to  Teddingtoa  in  18»2  to 

loa   the   face   of    his   ancebtor,    the   Lord 

UridgeznaD,  who  had  beea  in  hU  coUia 

>  than  ■  century  aud  ahalf,  is  very  striking. 

I  tomy  mind  Bome  incidents  of  n  similar 

,  where  the  living  hare  been  brought  fiice 

irith   the   illustrious   dead,  whose  mortal 

lad  long  been  ended,  but  whose  featurea, 

the  embiUmcr'tt  skill,   retained  the  out- 

irncteriatica  by  which  they  were  known  to 

temporaries. 

of  these  nurratiTeA  may  interest  your 
and  I  hope  they  will  be  the  means  of 
other  contributions  on  the  subject, 
16&4  the  coffins  containing  the  bodies  of 
V.  and  his  descendants  were  removed 
vault  in  front  of  the  hij^h  altar  in  tbo 
>f  the  Escorial  to  their  tinal  reiting-phice 
*antheon.  *'  As  the  body  of  Churles  V. 
ed  in  his  marble  sarcophagus,"  writes  Sir 
inst-Mnxwell  {CloisUr  Life  of  CharJei  F., 
270),  "the  coverings  were  removed  to 
liilip  rV.  to  come  face  to  face  with  his 
sestor.  The  corpse  was  found  to  be  quite 
ffld  even  some  sprigs  of  sweet  thyme, 


folded  in  the  winding  sheet,  retained,  siUd  the 
friary  all  their  vernal  fmgrunce  after  the  lapse  of 
four  score  winters." 

But  once  more  the  resolute  countenance  of 
the  victor  of  Muhlberfr  wns  to  l>«  seen  by  a 
degenerate  successor.  Towiirds  the  end  of  the 
eighteenth  century,  Charles  HI.  of  Spain,  at  the 
request  of  the  author  of  Vathek.  ordered  the 
marble  sarcophagus  which  cuulained  the  body  of 
the  famous  Emperor  of  the  West  to  be  removed 
from  its  niche  and  the  lid  to  be  mised.  Tho 
features,  so  well  known  from  the  portraits 
by  Titian,  were  still  unchanged,  and  the  wild 
thyme,  gathered  in  the  Vera  of  Plusencia  by  the 
Jeromito  friars  more  than  two  oeDturios  before^ 
was  fresh  and  sweet. 

S.  In  1813,  while  a  passage  was  beinj;  con- 
structed under  the  choir  of  St.  George's  Chapel, 
Windsor,  an  aperture  was  accidentally  made  in 
one  of  the  walls  of  Henry  VIII. 's  vault.  Three 
coffins  were  seen,  and  it  was  supposed  that  one  of 
them  might  hold  the  remains  of  Charles  I.  Th« 
vault  was  examined  in  the  presence  of  George  IV. 
and  other  distinguished  persons,  among  whom  was 
Sir  Henry  Halford,  and  to  the  work  pubtiabcd  by 
him  (An  Account  of  tin  Oywntii^  of  iht  Ct^jfia  of 
Charltt  /.,  4to.  1S13)  I  am  indebted  for  the 
details  of  the  intercstiDg  incident. 

On  opening  the  coflia  supposed  to  contain  the 
remains  of  the  unfortunate  monarch,  tho  body 
wiis  found  wrapped  in  cere-cloth,  and  the  dump 
folds  about  the  face  adhered  so  closely  that  oa 
being  detached  it  was  found  to  retain  nn  impress 
of  the  royal  countenance— a  circnmstance  which 
to  ardent ,  loyalists  would  doubtless  recall  the 
legend  of  Santa  Veronica.  The  head  woa  found 
to  be  separate  from  the  body,  und  the  black 
hair  of  the  head  was  cot  short  at  the  neck,  lo 
facilitate  the  headsman's  task.  But  no  cir- 
cumstantial evidence  was  required  to  prove 
that  the  remains  of  Charles  I.  bad  at  lost  beea 
found.  The  long  oval  face,  and  the  brown  pointed 
beard,  which  the  pencil  of  Vandyck  has  rendered 
io  familiar  to  us,  were  at  once  recognized.  When 
the  face  was  Bret  seen  the  left  eye  was  full  and 
open,  but  it  vanished  almost  immediately  on  ex- 
posure to  the  air.  After  a  short  time,  when  the 
identity  of  the  remains  was  pinced  beyond  a 
doubt,  the  colHa  was  closed  and  the  vault  was 
fastened  up. 

3.  One  more  interview  wkh  the  dead  must  bo 
told,  though  in  this  case  the  boHy  hud  not  been 
embalmed.  Some  years  ago  the  family  vault  of 
the  Stanhope  family  was,  for  some  necessary  reason, 
opened,  and  the  lid  of  the  coiHn  which  oontained 
the  body  of  the  famous  earl,  the  author  of  the 
Letters,  was  by  accident  removed.  The  skeleton 
was  reclining  on  a  white  satin  coverlet,  and  tfaitt 
cranium  propped  up  on  a  cviaViVOTi  <>l  \X\fe  •ww^fc

tiaii  ot  the*  he  speaki  of,  and  enumeration  of  thoir  faults 
k  a  reproofe  to  tbem.  Obi,  that  tho*  all  sines  are  not  of 
one  degree,  yet  all  Bios  are  equally  abhominable  in  Oods 
sight.  Obs  %  that  pernicious  errnneout  per<(ons  are  but 
filthy  dreamers  pleating  tbepiielvet  in  sinfull  pleasures. 
Error  Is  a  dream  3  wayei,  6  rules  how  to  be  free  of  thoa 
dreanies  and  mistakeii  about  uur  oondltion.  Obs  laet,

Old  CnooKR. — Ma.  W.  F.  MAiisn  Jacksox,  in 
"  N.  &  Q."  (6'h  S.  Ti.  483),  gives  tbe  maker  r,f  an 
oM  clock,  but  neither  date  nor  the  outure  of  the 
clock.  This  ia  a  subject  upoo  whiab  much  in- 
fottDatioD  is  wanted,  it  is  greatly  to  be  rej^rctted 
that  tbe  nnthcrities  of  the  South  KenKiogtoa 
Museum  bare  made  no  serinl  collection  of  clocks. 
A  few  itroDge  and  remarkable  timepieces  arc  to 
be  found  scattered  about  in  tbe  museum  ;  hut 
nothing  more.  What  ia  wanted  is  a  series  of 
clocks,  showrog  tbe  prugreasive  development  of 
their  mechanism  and  tlieir  adaptation  ils  urttclea 
of  household  furniture — both  indicated  chrono- 
logically. Such  a  collection  would  bfi  moat  in- 
tereatinf^.  I  would  odd  &  few  words  about  old 
clocks, 

"  Fifteenth  Century  "  clocks. — Under  this  name 
the  dealers  in  old  art  furniture  and  curiosities  eell 
clocks  of  oonMiderable  beauty  and  some  antiquity. 
They  were  made  soon  after  150()  and  up  to  I7tt0. 
But  I  doubt  if  any  were  really  made  in  the  fif- 
teenth century,  and  tbe  dealers  seem  to  mean  that 
they  were  made  before  1600.  They  are  of  bra^s, 
nearly  cubical  in  figure,  about  8  to  11  inches  high, 
and  surmounted  by  a  large  cupola-shaped  exposed 
bell.  The  dial,  braas  or  of  white  metal,  is  well 
engraved  ;  minutes  are  not  indicated,  but  the 
hours  are  divided  into  quarters ;  they  hrid  but 
one — the  honr — hand.  The  original  works  went 
bat  a  little  over  twenty-four  hours,  and  a  single 
weighty  regulated  by  a  long  pendulum,  supplied 
the  power.  They  stood  on  brackets,  with  a  slit  for 
the  pendulum  and  two  holes  for  the  weighi-choin. 
On  the  dial  the  name  and  locality  of  the  maker 
were  nearly  idways  engraved,  and  often  the  date. 
I  have  one  made  by  Rich.  Riiyment,  Bury  St. 
EdmDnd.%  date  not  given.  Tbe  tone  of  the  bells 
is  extremely  beautiful,  especially  when  softened 
by  a  pad  of  buff-teatber  on  the  hammer.  The 
earlieet  of  these  clocks  that  I  have  Keeu  was  dated 
IS39,  the  latest  1686.  I  should  be  glad  of  in- 
formation respecting  others — namej  locality,  and 
date. 

"  Grandfather's  "  clock. — This  ia  the  name  now 
popularly  given  to  the  toll,  woodcn-cuacd  eight- 
day  clocks,  with  largo  dials  and  sonorous  belts. 
which  for  four  or  five  pa^^t  generations  have  been 
eeen  in  every  tolerably  furnished  house.  Were 
these  clocks  made  before  1700  I  I  should  be  glad 
of  dates  and  particulars.  I  have  one  of  them, 
wbioh  wiifl  made  by  Henry  Chater,  of  Ringwood, 
Hsntji,  for  my  great-grenl-grandfather,  between 
1720  .ind  1730.  It  is  not  dated,  but  I  am  certain  of 
the  period.  Though  there  is  no  date  on  the  clock 
lt»eif,  a  new  wheel,  which  was  added  to  replace 
ona  worn  out,  baa  on  it  the  figures  ISOl.    It  is 


the  best  clock  in  my  house,  and  has  been  going 
one  hundred  and  fifty  years.

curious  and  iutereuting  tablets  which  have  been 
brought  to  view  iu  tbe  English  College  at  Rome, 
during  the  exten.'^ive  work  now  being  carried  on 
there,  are  two  the  inscriptions  on  which  are  re- 
niMtkable  enough  to  merit  a  record  in  "  N.  &  Q." 
The  first  is  as  follows: — 

"  Sooietu  Anfflica

ProtestantiBui.  In  Mary's  reign  he  fied  to  Vienna^ 
where  he  died  by  tbe  hand  of  ruz  assassin. 

The  other  relates  to  n  humbler  worthy — a 
steward  of  the  College — and  is  noteworthy  fur 
its  obscurity:—

"  Yes,  sir,"  said  tbe  man  ;  "  T  should  say  he  'a

1  trust,  differ  on  the  point  whether  1869  be  a 
recent  year  or  not.  I  toko  it  to  be  so.  Now, 
I  believe  the  complete  Hat  of  such  works  pub- 
lished in  the  coarse  of  this  century  will  be  con- 
siderable.

— ed.  London,  17fiO,  pp.  326.  Atr.  Young's  name 
dues  not  appear  on  the  tiile-pngc,  or  in  any  other 
part  of  the  book  so  far  as  I  can  see.  The  book 
contains  a  few  full-page  engravingc,  of  poor  execu- 
tion, by  Hulnbergb,  Parr,  Ryhind,  and  M.  Van  der 
Gucht  ;  but  the  curious  thing  in  a  number  (about 
twenty}of  circular  engravings,  of  admirable  quality 
both  as  regards  design  and  execution,  which  are 
lightly  pasted  in,  on  the  inner  margins  of  pages  of 
tbe  text.  Thefte  engravings  are  somewhat  in  the 
style  of  "  emblems,"  and  appear  to  illuatrute  certain 
lines  in  tbe  poeiu  :  a  little  x  in  faded  ink  stands 
in  front  of  the  line  to  which  the  emblem  is  in- 
tended to  apply.  They  are  certainly  not  all 
engraved  by  the  same  band ;  but  I  can  detert  no 
engmver'a  name  or  mark  on  any  of  them.  A 
motto  in  Latin  or  Greek  surrounds  each  design, 
like  the  legend  on  a  medal.  Possibly  some  former 
possessor  has  inserted  thei-e  circular  engravings  to 
beautify  tbe  volume.  I  wi»b  to  ask,  Are  these 
engmviogs  a  purtof  this  edition  or  not ;  and  if  so. 
is  it  known  who  were  the  artists  and  engravers  ? 
The  engravingn,  including  circniar  molto,  are  about 
3f  inches  in  diameter  ;  tome  of  them  arc  strongly 
suggestive  uf  Albert  Duier's  style.

of  Bfrkhamp^tead,  Eiq.,aud  daughter  of —  Damme, 
of  W&jt  Darby,  co,  Lincoster.  I  should  be  very 
grateful  to  any  oue  who  could  give  me  the  parent- 
age and  ancestry  of  this  Margaret  Damme.  The 
name  is  peculiiir  and  nncommon,  and  the  only 
reference  to  it  that  I  have  met  with  is  in  the 
}n  LtUert,  where  the  family  of   Damme  is 


mentioned  aa  one  of  respectability  in  Norfolk  ia

Margaret  Damme  is  said  to  have  been  born  at 
West  Derby  in  June,  1720,  but  her  baptism  is 
not  registered  in  that  parish  or  any  neighbouring

A  FoRERUiCiCER  OP  "  Punch." — In  a  motro- 
politun  curioaity-ifhop  I  lately  chanced  upon  some* 
relics  of  an  old  weekly  periodical  of  wbich  I  can 
find  no  mention.  It  is  entitled  Punch  in  Lm- 
doH,  being  a  sm  ill  quarto  of  eight  paj3;es,  printed 
by  J.  Duncomhe,  of  10,  Little  Queen  Street, 
"  Price  One  Penny."  The  only  numbers  I  havu 
secured  are  the  lirst  and  the  sixtwutb ;  but  they 
prubiibly  furnish  a  fair  criterion  of  the  whol& 
issue  of  this  curious  seriiil,  which  is  illustrated 
by  oumeroua  rude  hut  comic  woodcuts  from  de- 
signs by  Geurge  Cniikshank  and  other  artifltn. 
The  opening  number,  which  boars  date  Jon.  14, 
1831 — thus  anticipatin};  i'li/io/*  by  nearly  a  deoade 
— commences  with  a  long  but  very  humorous 
address  of  **  Punch  to  his  Renders."  Who  were 
tho  leading  spirits  of  this  periodical,  and  how  long 
wa.1  it  p.ibliahed  ?  H.  Ecaovn  Smith.

THE  RUTHVKN  PEERAGE. 
(6*  a  vii.  87,  109,  153.)

of  that  «aine  worlc." 

Now  iGNORAiTua  ought  to  be  perfectly  aware  th 
Mr.  Foster  eete  forth  nothing  of  the  kind.  Ni 
such  statements  are  to  bo  found  either  in  t 
prefoce  or  in  the  body  of  the  work.  Indeed,  Mr. 
Foster's  contention  is  based  on  the  very  premises 
which  FriNORAMUS  charges  him  with  denying.  H« 
holds  that  Isabellft,  "  Baroness  Ruthveu/'  can  be 
proved  to  have  poescssed  no  hereditary  right  to 
the  title,  and  to  have  established  her  assumption 
by  nothing  more  than  a  mere  coronation  summons 
issued  subsequent  to  the  Union.  ''That  Mr. 
Foster  means,"  says  Io:?oraiiC8,  *'  that  the  there- 
by became  a  peeress  of  Scotland  is  pat  beyond 
doubt,"  Mr.  Foster,  on  the  contrary,  holds,  and  is 
alone  la  holding,  that,  as  such  summons  could  not 
create  a  Soottish  peerage  dignity,  she  never  really 
became  a  peereca  of  Scotland  at  all.  "We  sub- 
mit,''  be  says  of  this  title,  "  that  it  ought  to  Aura 
no  place  tn  a  peerafjc."  Ignoramos,  however,  con- 
tends that  Mr.  Foster's  recognition  of  this  writ  as 
a  valid  creation 

"  U  put   beyond  doubt  by   his  adding  that.  In  conse- 
quence of  the  Engluh  doctrine  of  the  indeft-nsibilUy 
peerage  not  obtaining  ii>  Scotland,  the  title  tiid  not  ;>

Here,  again,  Mr.  Foster  Baya  nothing  of  the  kind 
It  will  be  seen  from  bis  foot-note  (^or  which  I  am 
responsible)  that  the  conclusion  which  h**  draws  is 
quite  diirerent.  He  inserts  it  in  justification  of 
bis  suggestion  that  tbia  peerage  may  eveu  now  be 
challenged: — 

"  The  GnKllsh  doctrine  of  the  fndefeasibility  of  p

There  ia  nothing  here^  it  will  bo  seen,  about  the 
title  "not  properly  transmittiog."  lasoRAUDs, 
by  dexterously  substituting  this  conclusiou,  tries 
tu  insinuate  that  Mr.  Foster  takea  exception 
to  the  traiumi$$\on  from  the  first  holder 
deseendants,  and  that  he  couseqnpntly

Foster's  I'ttrage,  p.  dll. 

We  are  all  liable  to  err  at  times,  especially  on  so 
iottioate  a  subject  as  the  peerage  law  of  Scotland, 
bat  the  chaocen  are  that  Mr.  Foster  is  ri^ht,  if,  in 
order  to  prove  him  wrong,  it  is  necessary  to  per- 
vert bis  oiatemeots. 

I  was  loth  to  believe  that  the  Rathrea  honours 
vere,  and  are  still,  wroogfully  assumed  till  I  read 
T.  T.'s  defence  of  their  aasuniption.  That  defence, 
as  it  stands,  effectually  destroys  any  lingering  be- 
lief in  their  validity  : — 

*'  Non  tkli  Kuxilio  nee  defenioribiu  istif 
Tempui  eg«t." 

The  pedigree  need  not  detain  as  loog.  Isabella 
Butbven  \a  truly  described  by  Ionorahus  as  "  the 
lady  who  is  generally  supposed  to  have  succeeded 
Dsvid,  second  Lord  Ruthven,  in  bis  title."  Wood's 
Xhttglat  speaks  of  her  as, — 

"  I»b«1,  Bsroness  Ruthven,  who  Rucceaded  her  uncle 
Ihtvld,  the  second  lord,  and  bad  lummona  as  a  baroneea 
Co  lbs  coruDsUonsof  Georgo  I.  and  alio  of  George  IL" 

Burke's  Puragi  (1683)  asserts  that,— 

**  David,  second  baron,  died  witlioat  iwaue  in  1701 ,  when 
ihebaruny  deTolvfd  upon  hisnioco.  the  lion,  {sic)  laabelta 
Bathrcri,  an  first  baroneu," 

and  we  must  remember  that  "in  matters  concern- 
ing Scotland,"  Lyon  King  of  Arms  "  never  fails  " 
Sir  BemArd.  Yet  T.  T.  now  comes  forward  with 
the  BUrtling  revelation  that  the  **  Baroness  Ruth- 
ven," who  assumed  the  honours  in  1701  and  for 
iwcnly-cigbt  years  thereafter,  was  not  Isabella  at 
all,  but  tui  uuDt  of  hers,  whuse  very  existence  is 
omitted  in  the  accepted  version  of  the  descent.  It 
is  to  be  hoped  that  so  severe  a  critic  as  T.  T.  is 
himself  strictly  accurate ;  but  is  he  certain  that 
Jean  Ruthven  outlired  Sir  W.  C'unninchamo  and 
wan  the  "Baroness"  aummoncd  in  1727  ]  It  is 
ditfioalt  to  eee  why  J^ir  William  should  have  taken 
the  name  of  Ruthven  if  he  never  lived  to  profit  by 
the  tail,  for  T.  T.'s  notion  that  be  took  it  *'si  aenior 
coheir  to  the  representation  "  is  not  only  iuept, 
but  betrays  ignorance  of  the  fact  thiit  in  So^llund 
the  whole  and  sole  represent itioo  was  vested  in  the 
heir  of  line.  It  would,  at  any  rate,  have  been 
more  fair  if  T.  T.  h)id  lidujitted  that  Mr.  Foster 
here  has  but  retained  one  of  the  errors  iu  Wood's 
VougluM  (which  T.  T.  repreveuts  as  "correct"),  of 
wbt  '  V-  '^  '  '-  confessps  in  his  preface,  "some 
10,"  But  surely  it  is  a  striking 
sOf  this  title  that  this 


wholly  (or,  it  may  be,  partly)  tikbuloas  eucoeasion, 
at  the  very  crisis  of  the  descent,  should  have  been 
so  geoeraliy  and  so  long  accepted. 

And  now,  as  to  the  limitation.  As  the  patvnt 
is  alleged  to  hav«»  been  "  unfortunately  "  burnt,  the 
terms  of  the  limitation  are  unknown.  Tt  is  some- 
what curious  that  if,  as  T.  T.  assumes,  **  the  limita- 
tion was  wider  than  to  heirs  male  of  the  body/'  oo 
steps  were  taken  to  set  them  on  record  during  the 
century  that  the  instrument  of  creation  woj  in 
existence.  The  result  of  this  suppression,  I  need 
hardly  add  (though  the  fact  seems  unknown  to 
T.  T.),  is  that  the  law  presumes  a  limitation  to 
heirs  male  of  the  body.  That  presumption,  as 
L#ord  Mansfield  expresses  it,  is  **  always  open  to 
be  contradicted  by  the  heir  female  upon  evidence 
shown  to  the  contrary."  Bat  the  evidence  in  this 
case,  instead  of  supporting,  actually  rebuts  the 
assumption  made  in  Wood's  Doufjlai^  and  (appa- 
rently) in  Burke's  Pitra^jt,  and  (alternatively)  by 
T.  T.,  that  the  honours  were  limited  to  heira  of 
line.     For,  as  Mr.  Foster  justly  oWrvea,— 

"  The  fact  thiit  Sir  >V.  Cunniogbame.  who  died  1:22. 
did  not  take  the  honours  is  entirely  destructive  of  this 
unwarrantable  assumption." 

As,  however,  the  limitation  to  heirs  of  line  was  (as 
may  be  seen  from  T.  T.'h  paper)  the  most  com- 
fortable hypothesis  on  which  Isabella  uid  her  heirs 
could  found,  we  need  not  wonder  that  significant 
efforts  have  been  made  to  keep  this  clenching 
evidence  out  of  sight.  In  an  old  Burke's  Ptemga 
(1829)  which  I  have  by  mc,  Lady  Ounninghame  is 
said  to  have  "died  without  issue,"  while  even  in 
the  current  edition  all  mention  of  her  issue  is 
suppressed. 

As  against  this  definite  evidence  we  have  only 
the  suggestions  in  Wood's  Dougla$  that,— 

*'it  is  understood  thai  the  honours  were  to  th«  heirs 
{icneml  of  tlie  patenCoe's  body,  u  tba  titti>  was  krpt  on 

ibi:  lliiiou   Itoll  "  (it.  404] "supposid  to  he  V,  lioirn 

geueralj  as  uii  heir  general*  succeeded  iu  ITOI  "  (U.  OSCJ. 

T,  T.,  similarly,  founds  on  the  Union  roU, — 
"  Thai  the  iimiuUoii  was  nidor  than  to  hcirji  male  of 
the  hod;,  and  ihcludad  liciri  RencnU,  or  gave  a  power  of

wa.4  in  posaearion  in  1707,  when  the  title  was  plaued  on 
the  Union  roll." 

Of  the  two  alternative  limitations  here  suggested 
(of  which  more  hereafter),  it  is  obvious  that  the 
one  to  "heirs  general"  could  not  include  "a 
female  who  was  not  the  heir  of  line,"  and  that 
either  the  hypothesis  irritates  her  possession,  or 
bor  possession  irritates  tb'j  hypothesis.  But,  that 
the  t'videoce  here  founded  npoo  is  inept,  nor  may 
relevantly  be  adduced,  can  duly  be  ioskruoted.

on  th«  Uoion  roll,  tboufih  it  bad  in  truth  become 
extinct  io  1C04,  on  the  failare  of  the  male  line,  aa 
waa  nt  onoe  decided,  when  the  question  was  miacd 
in  1793. 

Let  me  repeat  that  there  are  two  separate  and 
ineoonoUable  hypotheBef,  each  of  which  is  in  torn 
upheld  by  T.  T.,  acoordinf^  aa  he  ib  treatinf;  of  the 
(alleged)  institute  (Jean),  or  of  Isabel  and  her 
heiia  of  line.  Either  the  bonoars  were  limited  to 
heirs  general,  which  we  see  they  cannot  hare  been, 
or  there  was  a  clause  in  the  instrument  of  crention 
constituting  a  faculty  of  nomination,  in  which  casA 
(even  reserving  a  point)  the  successive  "  lords  " 
most  have  taken  exclnsivd^  as  "ares  of  tailzie" 
Qoder  a  nomination  per  exprusum  to  the  honours. 
Oo  this  latter  hypothesis  their  case  is  on  all  fours 
with  that  of  the  Earls  of  £rrol.  Now  we  know 
that  on  Tjord  Errol's  title  being  challenged  (on 
petition)  in  170G,  the  Lords  refused  to  confirm  it 
to  him  till  he  h&d  produced  the  orif^inal  nomina- 
tion (for  a  while  missing),  under  which  alone  he 
took.  Here,  then,  we  have  an  ominous  precedent  for 
the  Ruthven  peerage,  if,  as  would  now  seem,  there 
ia  not  an  adminicle  or  phantom  of  evidence  for  the 
existODce  of  any  sui^h  nomination,  or  even  of  a 
claose  in  the  patent  (or  of  any  regrant  npon  re- 
signation) warranting  the  same  ! 

The  truth  is  that  this  alleged  nomination  is  a 
mere  desperate  deus  ex,  introduced  to  account  for 
what  T.  T.  terms  "this  abnormal  succession." 
Thus,  in  Rurke's  Puragt  for  1883  ("Ruthven") 
wfl  still  find  under  "  Creation "  the  old  heirs  of 
line  hypothesis : — 

"  £7'«a(i'oA  1051.  The  patent  conUinini;  the  prectse

Jean,  the  •*  baroness,"  and  her  successors  !  But 
what  does  Ulster  mean  by  "  the  reversion  "  f  The 
**  limitation,"  the  *'  destination,"  nay,  even  the 
**  remHinder,"  would  he  intelligible.  But  surely 
such  a  term  as  "  the  reversion  "  is  unknown  to  the 
peerage  student.  Again,  a  limitation  "to  the  heirs 
male  and  female  of  the  patentee's  body"  is  so 
looselv  worded  aa  to  be  quite  unintelligible.  It 
must  bo  supposed  that  heirs  general  (or  "of  line") 
is  meant,  and  not  heirs  male  of  the  body.  If  so, 
it  should,  at  least,  have  been  clearly  stat«d.  Yet 
in  the  Uxi  wo  find  the  othtr  hypothesis.  The  first 
lord  is  there  said  to  have  bad—

from  a  competent  cipress  resignation  of  the

they  could  not  be  diverted  from  the  origioa) 
channel  ?  We  are  left  entirely  in  doubt  as  Xa 
whether  this  suggested  "  disposition  "  implies  all 
tbie,  or  whether  ii  assumes  an  uniustructed  power 
of  nomination,  or  a  mere  "  designation  "  (as  in  the 
Sinclair  case),  or  a  resignation  and  regrant  of  the 
estates  alone,  not  affecting  the  honours.  This 
ignorance  of  Scottish  practice  and  the  use  of  these 
unfortunate  terms  is  rendered  incomprehensible 
when  we  are  told  by  Ulster  that —

I  cannot  believe  tb&t  either  of  these  genttemeny 
whose  reputation  in  these  matters  stands  de- 
servedly so  high,  can  be  responsible  for  the  above 
UDBcholarly  statements.  And  yet  the  contents  of 
Sir  Bernard's  work  would  seem  to  have  the  sanc- 
tion of  Lyon  King-of-Armi,  for  he  has  recently 
committed  himself  to  the  statement  that  it  is  *'  tlis 
best  work  of  its  kind  "  (G«ueu?oyw/,  October,  1882). 
But  perhaps  "some  of  your  readers  more  learned 
in  this  especial  department  than  myself  may  be 
able  to  solve  the  problem.  Meanwhile,  we  must 
believe  that  if  these  gentlemen  had  revised  "ths 
matters  concerning  Scotland"  contained  in  this 
Purafjt,  "  that  book  "  (if  I  may  venture  to  quote 
the  words  applied  by  Lyon  to  Mr.  Foster's  /'wr-

And  if  this  be  trae  of  auch  a  case  as  Kutherford, 
where  there  ia  at  least  au  ezpreaa  (if  inexact)  oomi* 
nation  to  the  hanoun>,  what  shall  we  say  of  such  a 
document  as  this  pretended  Ruthren  nomination, 
where  there  is  the  moat  actuputoua  abstention 
from  any  terms  which  could  possibly  comprise  the 
honours  /    Yet  T,  T.  innocently  observes : — 

"  We  di>  not  Icnofr  the  exact  tenor  of  tbe  Rathren 
patent,  but  it  arldcDtly  (!)  contained  lomB  auch  cUuie." 

And  in  proof  of  this  aaiertion  he  puts  in  evidence 
a  aettlenienl  of  the  atatts  in  1074,  which,  as  the 
veriest  tyro  will  at  once  perceive,  could  not,  and 
did  not  even  purport  to,  convey  the  honoun .' 
When  T.  T.  haa  read  a  little  peerage  law,  be  will 
perceive  that  be  could  not  have  adduced  a  more 
fatally  blaatiuj;  document.  I/,  as  be  contends,  it 
was  in  virtue  of  this  entail  that  Jean  assumed  tbe 
bODOura  at  her  brother's  death,  then, /iumi  hie  owyi 
evidince^  it  U  clear  that  abe  asaumed  them  wrong- 
faUr. 

We  know  that,  even  in  each  cases  aa  the  Koes 
charter  of  IGSG  and  the  BHri^eny  settlement  of 
IGUiif  tbe  insertion  of  the  "  title  aud  honour"  in  a 
cclbteral  clause  were  inept  aa  regarded  the  dignity 
(thouKh  the  Bargeny,  like  the  Ruthven,  limitation 
was  not  on  record).  Bat  even  they  are  not  found 
in  the  Ruthven  entail,  where  the  aaanmption  of  the 
"  arvu  and  9u rname"  19  the  only  condition  to  be 
implemented  under  tbe  Eubatitutions.  And  yet, 
ftocording  to  T.  T., 

"The  title  «as  evidently  (!)  destined  to  pa<«  alonR 
with  the  Fitates,  and  did  so;  Jetm,  aa  lisdy  Ituthvoii, 
was  servod  tii;ir  of  entail  and  provtaiou  of  her  brother." 

Alas !  T.  T.  is  evidently  unaware  of  the  charter  to 
tbe  spurious  "Viscountess  of  Oxenford^on  her 
similar  assumption  a  few  years  later,  or,  to  take 
but  one  instance,  of  Geor^je  Dnrie  of  Granite,  a 
wrongful  clHiniant  of  the  Rutherford  honours,  hav- 
ing been  served  (1733)  (u  **  George^  tmd  Ruther- 
ford," halt  *' of  line^  entail,  and  of  provision"  to 
the  Karl  of  Teviot  (Lord  Rutherford). 

It  may  be  urged,  however,  that  "Lady  Ruth- 
ven "  cuuld  not  have  openly  aaaumed  Ibe  title  in 
the  teeth  of  a  patent  precluding  her  aucceaaion. 
Alaa!  anoh  caaea  were  by  no  means  uncommon  in 
Scotland— witness  again  Newark.  Though  that 
barony  (of  about  tbe  same  date  aa  Ruthven)  was 
limited  by  the  patent  to  heira  male  of  the  body,  it 


was  asBumed  by  a  daughter  of  the  second  lord  on 
his  death,  and  borne  by  her  and  her  heirs  for  a 
century  on  tbe  strength  of  a  purely  fictitious  re- 
signation and  regrant  of  the  hooonn  !  Nor  would 
there  seem  to  be  any  reason  why  it  might  not 
have  survived  like  Rathven,  had  not  the  right  to 
vote  been  challenged  at  a  pinch,  and  thereafter 
disallowed.  ' 

But  at  least,  it  will  be  said,  no  pieudo-"  baio- 
Qeaa  "  could  have  been  summoned  aa  a  peeress  to 
a  coronation.  Even  in  this,  however,  I  can  adduce 
a  case  which  quadrates  precisely  trith  that  of 
Ruthven.  Lord  Oxenford— a  title  created  about 
the  same  time  aa  Newark  and  Ruthven — wtu 
anxious,  having  no  male  issue,  to  divert  the  sue- 
cession  in  favour  of  bis  daughter.  He  did  not. 
however,  obtain  tbe  necessary  regrant  upon  resig- 
nation, notwithstanding  which  his  diiugbter  aa- 
Bumed  the  title  at  his  death  (170.*^),  and  was 
succeeded,  like  "  Lady  KnthvcD."  in  her  titobr 
dignity  by  her  son  and  heir.  In  this  case  the 
existence  of  a  rival  claimant  in  the  pemon  of  an 
heir  male  brought  matters  sooner  lo  an  issue 
(1733),  and  the  titalar  •'Viscount,*'  thoogh,  ol 
course,  oast,  fought  bard  nn  the  plea  of "  poaaea- 
aion,"  specialiy,  but  in  vain,  founding  on  a  corona- 
tion icn(, — 

"  Biimmons  to  be  present  at  the  coronation  of  liii  present 
MRJesCj,  wbict)  u  auperscribed  by  kui  Mai^aiy,  uiil 
signed  by  the  1^1  of  BiUMX.dapuio  Earl  Msrshal  of 
£u^tand." 

Thia,  I  eubmit,  ia  conclusive. 

Laaily,  aa  to  my  contention  that  the  alleged 
right  to  this  barony  ia  even  now  traveraible.  It  ia 
notoriotiB,  as  in  the  case  of  VVillougbbyof  Parhau>, 
that  the  contrary  doctrine  rules  with  us,  but  that 
in  Scotland  no  right  could  be  derived  h'om  a 
wrongful  sitting  in  Parliament  that  could  enure 
in  fdVDur  of  the  "  peer's  "  heirs  or  ennoble  their 
blood.  And  even  more  forcibly  would  this  rule 
apply  when  there  had  not  been  an  actual  silting 
in  Parliament,  but  only  an  assumption  of  peerages 
Thus,  in  the  striking  case  of  Liodures,  tbe  right  of 
tbe  heirs  male  collateral  was  disallowed  tn  1793^ 
though  they  had  borne  the  title  and  even  voted  at 
the  elections  since  173G.  Thus  tbene  assnmcra  of 
tbe  Lindores  honoara  were  recording  their  votes 
"  without  protest  or  question  **  during  the  very 
period  when,  as  T.  T.  triumphantly  reminds  ua, — 

"James,  tben  Lord  Rutbren,  Toted  at  neirly  sU  tbe 
oleotioTiH  of  representative  peers  after  his  succession  in 
17;}2tiU  bis  death  in  1783.'' 

This  would  obviously  bear  directly  upon  Ruthven^ 
whenever  that  title  may  be  challenged. 

I  trust  I  have  now  set  this  case  in  a  very  dif- 
ferent light  to  that  deduotble  frnoi  tbe  impetuotu 
crudities  of  Ionoramus  and  T.  T.  Mr.  Foater'a 
Pyrrhonism  in  this  matter  ia  deserving  not  of 
abuse  but  of  all  priiine,  for  he  has  brought  to  light 
a  state  of  things  which  has  hitherto  been  unaoE^

TnoMAs  Grrt,  MARQUisa  or  Dorskt  (6**  S.

the  Marquess  of  Dorset  went  as  Commander-in- 
Chief  to  Spain,  "accompanied  by  bis  brothers, 
Lord  Thomas  Howard,  and  the  Lords  Brooke, 
Willoughby,  and  Ferrer?,"  does  not  mean  that 
any  one  of  the  four  noblemen  mentioned  was  re- 
lated to  the  maniuess,  but  onlj  that  his  three 
brothers  went  with  him,  and  also  Lord  T.  Howard 
and  the  lords  above  mentioned,  W.  L.  will  tiud 
in  Stow's  AnnaU  a  list  of  the  chief  nobles  who 
accompanied  the  marquess,  including  "the  Lord 
Howard,  son  and  heire  to  the  earie  of  Surrey,  the 
L.  Brooke,  the  L.  Willoughby,  the  L.  Ferrers,  the 
L.  John,  the  L.  Anthony,  the  L.  Leonnrd  Grej,

I  have  not  the  edition  of  1831  of  Burke's  Et- 
Unct  and  Dormant  Purage  before  me,  bat  the 
paragraph  in  the  edition  of  1866  nine  as  follows : 
■*  In  the  expedition  were  also  bis  lordship's 
brothers,  Lord  Thoma.«j  Howard,  son  and  heir  of 
the  Earl  of  Surrey,  and  iho  Ivorda  Brooke,  Wil- 
loughby, and  Ferrers.'*  If  the  text  of  the  edition 
of  IH3L  is  the  same  as  that  which  I  have  just 
quoted,  the  mifituke  is  one  of  W.  L.'s  own  making, 
and  not  Sir  Bernard  Burke's.  Of  course,  none  of 
these  noble  lords,  who  are  here  mentioned  by  their 
names,  was  brother  of  Thomas  Crey,  Marquess 
of  Dorset.  Sir  B.  Burke  only  states  that  they 
accompanied  the  marquess  and  his  hrothen  in  the 
expedition  to  Spain.  O.  F.  K.  B.

Earlt  Parish  Keoistebs  ow  Papbr  (6**  S.

parishes  was  first  issued  in  1538.  and  again  in  1558, 
1507,  and  1603.  It  was  only  in  tbo  mandates  of 
1597  and  1603  that  parchment  was  particularly 
ordered  to  be  used;  before  then  they  were  "mostly 
of  paper."  A  notice  of  this  is  in  Barn's  Pari$k 
lUguttrt^  in  a  note  by  Thomas  Packstone,  Vicar 
of  Weston,  near  Bath,  in  16(\1,  as  follows: — 

"  In  the  first  rearo  of  K  itii;  Jumett  [1 003)  it  wu  ordered 
by  R  Canon  of  the  Oliarch  that  all  lUgisttrsof  Cliopches

Probably  most  register  books  once  copied  were 
dwtroyed,  few  boiog  as  careful  of  them  ai  Mr, 


Packstone.  This  would  account  for  their  scarcity  at 
present.  Very  likely  economical  motives,  as  Mr. 
WuiTB  suggests,  may  have  had  some  weight  in 
the  choice  o?  material.  In  tho  parish  accounts  of 
St.  Margaret's,  Westminster,  in  153B,  the  eum  of 
twopence  was  paid  for  a  new  register  book.

POKT  DESCRVDED   FROM   A    KiMO    (6"*    S.    TI. 

;  3S2  ;  viL  138}.— Ir,  is  interesting  to  learn,  on 
the  high  authority  of  Sir  Hernurd  Burke,  that  Mr. 
Teonyaon's  "  ilescent  from  the  PlantaKenets "  is 
establLabed.  Thiw.  a»  Jumes  Haouay  nsed  to  say, 
is  ^^  the  right  tap."  And,  indeed,  a  certain  poet, 
almost  as  ditftingui^hed  in  his  way  as  the  Laureate, 
once  informed  mo  that  all  poets  ore  pcnons  of  j^od 
family,  and  that  he  himself  was  a  striking  example 
of  this  truth.  "  And  so,"  he  was  f^ood  enough  to 
add,  **  is  Tennyson/*  Under  which  oircumatunces 
it  is  ctirioos  that  the  late  Mr.  D'Eyncourt  was  not, 
I  believe,  in  early  life,  very  desirous  to  air  his 
other  name.  As  time  went  on  he  saw  the  error 
of  this  reticcoce,  and  gradually,  aa  the  Laureate 
became  fumuu!>,  the  rif;ht  honourable  gentleman 
(for  so  he  loved  to  be  called)  appeared  as  the  Kii^lit 
Hon.  Charles  Tenuysoo  D'£yncourt — with  a  cerllun 
emphasis  on  the  Tennyson.  Last  autumn  I  hud 
occtifiion  to  search  yarious  parish  rejjiaiers  in 
Holdornesa,  I  was  struck  by  the  number  of 
Tenoysons  whom  I  casually  found  there,  and 
also  by  the  fact  that  all  of  them  were  persona  of 
humble  rank.  ''John  TeDnysoo^  husbandman  "; 
•*  William  Tennyson,  labourer";  and  so  on.  The 
Iianreate  is  probably  "  loo  proud  to  care  from 
whence  he  came,"  and,  of  course,  I  do  not  affirm 
that  these  rural  Tennysons  were  of  his  kin.  It 
may  bo  an  accidental  coincidence  of  name  and 
place  :  and  as  to  that  question  there  is  at  least 
one  correspondent  of  *'  N.  &  Q.*'  whose  opinion 
would  be  worth  having?.  A.  J.  M.

my  endeavour  to  ascertaia  some  particulars  con- 
cerning'this  lawyer,  who  filled  the  office  of  Recorder 
of  the  City  of  London,  and  was  the  last  male  heir 
of  the  ancient  family  of  Moreton.of  Little  Moreton, 
in  Cheshire,  dyinj*  in  1763  ;  but  the  only  mention 
found  is  the  following  incidenUl  allu.*^ion,  in  the 
memoir  of  Lurd  Chief  JuBlice  Eyre,  in  Live*  of 
Emintnt  EngUshiMUt  by  G.  G.  Cunningham,  Glas- 
gow, MDCCCX.XXVII.: — 

"At  this  period  [•'.*.,  17611  Sir  William  Morton  [mV] 
wna  Recorder  of  London.  He  hnJ  quitted  the  pracltco 
of  tlie  bar,  and  confined  hiamlf  to  the  duties  of  that 
respectable  officQ.  He  bad  been  brDUK>)t  into  Piirlla-

m>pectable  from  private  fortune  as  vrell  aa  public 
siluutiun.  Ho  was  now  getCtn};  oIJ  (Kixty-four),  and 
applied  to  the  Court  of  Aldomiuu  to  appoint  a  deputy 
to  asdist  liira  in  bis  oflictal  duties.  The  Common  Ser- 
jeant, the  lecond  law  officer  in  the  Corporation  of  Lon- 
don, bad  an  eTi<lent  claim  to  such  an  app'iintment.  Mr. 
Nu^nt,  a  most  amiable  and  excellent  man,  though  of 
no  Kreat  pmrcMiunal  name,  not?  lillcd  ihst  itiluation. 
These  gentlemen,  liowever,  haviDg  diff^-^red  on  lome 
points  of  lef^l  diseossion  that  had  boon  officially  pro- 
potied  to  their  coniidention,  sitch  acoolncsn  b;«d  taken

favour  of  Sir  William  Morton  ['ic]i  was  now  proposed 
by  him  to  be  deputy  recorder,  and  his  Infloence  OTer- 
Learing  that  of  Mr.  nugent,  obtained  the  appointment 
for  him." — Vol.  t.  p.  475. 

Sir  William  Moreton  died  in  17G3,  aged  sixty- 
seven  yean,  most  probably  in  London,  and  was 
moit  likely  boroe  past  the  old  home  of  his  race  to 
his  gruTe  at  Astbury  Church,  in  Cheshire,  where 
hi»  mother  and  wife  had  already  been  buried. 
Allusion  htiH  been  before  made  in  tho  pages  of 
"  N.  &  Q."  (O***  S.  xi.  221,  412,  473)  to  the  hatch- 
ment, once  above  his  tomb — Moreton  quartering 
Macclesfield — which  has  now  been  destroyed,  on 
which,  in  addition,  on  anescntcheon  of  pretence, wora 
blazoned  the  arms  of  hia  wife.  Dame  Jane  More- 
ton,  who  predeceased  him  in  1757,  aged  sixty-ooo 
years.  She  was  presumably  from  this  escutcheon 
an  heireaa  in  the  strict  heraldic  sense  of  the  term, 
not  having  brothers  ;  aed  though  investigations 
show  that  she  married  twice  before  she  becarao 
the  wife  of  Sir  William  Moreton  in  1741  (in  1732 
Mr.  Cooper,  and  afterwards,  in  1733,  Mr  LawtOD» 
of  Lawton),  these  circumatanccs  do  not  oifeot  her 
arms. 

Prior  to  the  destruction  of  the  hatchmest  a 
friend  of  mine  made  a  sketch  of  the  arms  upon  it 
in  trick.  Those  on  the  escutcheon  were,  1  and  4, 
Sable,  three  triple  bars  argent,  a  chief  ermine  ; 
2  and  3,  Azure,  a  Greek  cro^s  or,  chorged  with 
five  cockle-shells  of  the  field,  between  four  fleurs- 
de-lis  argent.  It  must,  however,  be  observed 
that  tho  heraldry  of  undertakers  is  not  always 
correct,  and  that  time  and  damp  might  have 
alteivd  the  original  tinctures;    axui  wi  vwaww^

from  the  O.N.  Aoyi.  a  pasture,  a  6eM— properly 
an  enclosed  or  fenced  pint  of  ground — cunn^cted 
with  Du.  haagt,  a  hedge  ;  Low  Sax.  hagtn ;  Oemi. 
htdce,  n  hcd(:e,  an  enclosure.  ShintU,  "to  shift 
^'ricks  e.lijcwi-ie.''     This  word  is  couoecled  with

slanting  position ;  Low  Sax.  rchUtu,  sck^n*, 
oblique  (itremuch-yUdcruij:^  Wort).  Schitnt 
represents  an  older  tkUns,  which  may  be  repre- 
sented by  Sw.  dial.  ikinnUi,  to  dry,  to  form  wrin- 
kles or  curves,  as  something  exposed  to  the  fire. 
The  Lancashire  sken,  to  squiot,  and  »q\tint  itself 
are  related  words.  Sktuttc  ia  a  frequentutiTe  form 
of  skinntoL,  J.  D. 

The  terms  mentioned  are  not  peculiar  to  Sussex. 
With  the  exception,  perhaps,  of  Icio  and  lac  roHt, 
which  I  have  not  heard  before,  they  are  all  used 
by  the  brickmakers  nf  this  neighbourhood.  The 
dellnitioDS  of  erowt,  fklntte,  and  soil  given  by  Mb. 
Sawtkr  are  not  quite  correct.  Crowd  is  to  take 
the  bricks  off  the  hack  and  place  them  on  the 
croicding-hai roto,  upon  which  they  nre  wheeled  to 
the  climp.  SkintU,  or,  an  I  h:ive  heard  it  pro- 
nounced here,  ikinkU,  is  to  shift  the  bricks  edge- 
wise when  on  the  lutrk  to  complete  the  drying. 
When  the  bricks  are  put  into  the  damp  they  are 
presumed  to  be  sufficiently  dry  for  buruiDg,  and  do 
not  require  shifting  again.  Soil:  this  term  is  used 
for  the  tine  oehes  screened  out  from  the  breeze,  and 
not  for  the  mixture  of  ashes  and  clny.

accoanta  of  the  orii^inal  auihoritirt  and  recent  work*  on 
each  branch  of  his  nihjeot.  Not  ouly  are  these  very 
full  and  complete  arciiunit  exlremely  valuable  in  them- 
Strifes,  hut  thej  also  show  the  wide  rcaflinj;  by  which  the 
writer  has  for  Tears  been  preparing  liini>elf  for  a  work 
on  10  tarije  a  eoale  as  to  carry  one  back  to  the  sixteenth 
or  acTenteenth  century.  The  German  and  Italian 
relations  of  the  PajMicy  are  worked  out  with  special 
lavuhnees  cf  detail ;  and  if  this  makes  thr  penjnl  of  the 
work  Mmcwhat  wearisotur.  it  is  only  riicht  to  remember 
that  Mr.  Creighton  is  anxious  not  only  to  Rtre  his  im* 
pressions  and  ooncluiiions,  but  to  place  before  us  the 
evidence  on  which  they  an  based.  Here  and  there  in 
the  earlirr  chapters,  but  more  especially  in  the  lym- 

?athetic  and  brilliant  narratirc  of  the  pontificate  uf 
iua  II,  {with  which  the  second  rolnme  concludes),  thnse 
who  hail  the  pleasure  of  attending  the  autlior'i  K-cturct 
at  Oxford  years  ago  will  recognlxe  many  paKsaifes  which 
have  not  yet  faded  from  their  m-mory.  In  many  places, 
i/ we  may  say  so,  the  author  fcems  to  be  m  bont  un  doing 
jostioe  to  all  parlies  thut  the  dry  light  of  his  impartiality 
has  an  irritating  cfTect  ou  readers  who  prefer  a  little 
mora  prejudice  and  a  little  more  lifo.  But,  all  thiiigi 
oonsidcred,  this  is  a  fault  on  the  right  side,  and  is  pro- 
bably duo  to  the  cxCriordinary  acquaintance  of  the 
author  witli  all  the  ronteni[>orAry  and  modem  literature 
of  every  part  of  his  subj*'ct.  When  Mr.  Creighton  com- 
pletes his  history  we  shall  have  for  the  flr»t  time  in 
Engliih  an  accurate  and  complete  account  of  the  moat 
important  factor  in  European  pfditica  during  a  period  of 
absorbing  interest,  based  throughout  un  the  Latest  re- 
searches nnd  discoveries,  and  worthy  of  being  placed 
among  the  clasiics  of  Enslieh  historical  literature.  We 
may  add  that  a  full  index  enables  one  to  treat  the«e

Ar- I  it.after  a  comparatiTcly  uiM-ventiul  life, 

died  at  i'utiA  Ukusc,  neitr  Glasgow,  on  May  23.  1867. 

Fortunately    for    liii   own    reputation.    Sir    Archibald 


opinions  of  his  contemporaries.  Belni?,  howeTer,  of 
opinion  that  "an  author,  who  ha«  mot  with  any 
decree  of  luccess,  owes  a  brief  account  of  hts  life  and 
writings  to  both  his  family  and  his  country,"  he  lat 
duwn,  and  with  full  ani  calm  deliberation  wrote 
his  autnbiugnphy.  Sonte  fiftoon  years  after  his  death, 
this  account  of  his  life  and    writings   has   now   b«cu 

ftublished  under  the  editorship  of  his  daughter-in- 
aw,  Lady  Alison.  Such  a  book  could  not  fail  to  con- 
tain much  interesting  matter,  smce  the  position  in 
society  of  the  author  brought  bim  in  contact  with  many 
of  the  most  celebrated  men  of  his  time.  Lord  Palmer- 
Slon,  Miss  EJgeworth,  Telford,  Carlyle,  Mucaulay,.1reh- 
bishop  Longley,  Lord  John  Rus«ell,  Lord  Clyde,  Mr. 
Qladstono,  and  many  other  dlstinguiihed  persons,  all 
figure  in  these  yolurocs.  The  disquisitions,  howerer,  in 
which  Sir  Archibald  occasionally  indulges  on  Tarioua 
Bulijt:cta  are  both  tedious  and  commonplace,  though  the 
evi'icnt  stlf-complaccncy  with  which  he  writes  his  own 
life  makes  much  aniemls  for  hi«  occasional  pronnesr, 
and  is  at  times  irresistibly  amurlng.  At  one  period  in 
his  career,  after  he  had  been  called  to  the  Scotch  bar, 
the  groat  object  of  his  ambition  was  to  attain  a  pro- 
minent position  in  poUtical  life.  Later  on  he  changad 
his  mind,  and  in  tlie  year  1S34  accepted  the  post  of 
Sheriff  of  Lsnarkshire,  hitTiug  previously  refused  (be 
offer  of  the  office  of  Solicitor  General  for  Scotland  in 
Sir  Robert  Peel's  first  ministry.  In  nddiiion  to  hie 
voluminous  J/intoru  of  Suiopf,  he  wrote  the  liTes  of 
John,  first  Duke  of  Marlborough,  Lord  Castlcreagh,  and 
Sir  Charles  Stewart,  and  bo  was  alio  a  frequent  con- 
tributor of  articles  to  /iiacJkteood'ti  Mttf;an>-(.  We  muBt 
contiratulatc  Lady  Alison  on  the  careful  manner  In

Pm.M  the  evil  DeeTs,  Firdosi  tesohes  us,  earns  the  art  of 
writing  :  so  thut  we  have  to  thank  thera  fora  good  many 
things,  not  the  lesst  of  which  is  the  present  book,  iti 
which  the  accomplished  biogrepher  of  LoHing  has  paiu- 
phrased,  with  some  needful  abridgment,  the  great  Per- 
sian epic  of  the  Skah  yamth  or  "  Book  of  Kings."  She 
has  not,  it  is  true,  done  it  directly  out  of  the  original 
tongue,  but  has  freely  employed  the  excellent  French 
Tcriion  of  Prof.  .Mohl.  Like  Mr.  Lang  in  bis  tranila- 
tion  of  the  Odyttiy,  she  has  chosen  as  hsr  medium 
the  liniple  language  of  Sbakspeare  and  the  Bible  ;  and 
it  must  he  admitted  thut  she  wears  that  qua«i-archaic 
garb  with  COD^iderable  ease  and  dignity.  So  little  of  im- 
portance in  the  way  of  making  Firduifi  understood  in 
this  country  has  hitherto  been  eflected,  that  Miss  Zim- 
raem's  accounts  of  the  "  geites  "—as  the  old  chronicler* 
would  call  thcro-  of  Fcridoun  and  ZaI,  of  Kai  Khosrau, 
of  KuBtem  and  I^fcndiyar,  and  all  those  ancient  heroes 
who,  seen  through  the  "moony  Tapoure"  of  tradition 
seem  to  us  like  the  phantoms  of  ehknts,  have  a  freibnets 
and  intcrcRt  which  should  make  her  Tolume  no  mer» 
Bucocw  of  a  season,  but  a  permanent  addition  to  Englisli 
literature.  To  this  end,  as  she  gratefully  admits  In  her 
preface,  she  has  not  wanted  ihe  kindly  aid  of  friendir. 
Mr.  Edmund  OoB*e  ha.i  contributed  a  fine  Introductory 
poem,  entitled  '•  t  irdusi  in  Exile, "  which  tells  the  story 
of  the  poet's  latter  th»y«  in  picttiresfjue  imrrative  slanxas ;

and  succeeded  in  Ig.i?  to  his  father's  prop^-rty,  which 
baji  been  for  five  centuries  in  the  hands  of  his  family  in

EBRARY  OP  TRINITY  COLLEGE, 

CAMBRIDGE. 
{CoHclmlni /rom  G'fc  S.  ?i.  464.) 
nt  of  Trinity  Library  would  be  at  all 
hioh  did  not  contain  some  deflcrtptioD, 
.ef,  of  the  Urge  nnd  procioui  collection 
tiona  of  dhttkRpearA  giren  to  the  college 
G»pell  io  177^.  With  this  aod  u  very 
nee  to  one  or  two  other  ru-e  paeticnl 
iccoont  of  the  caotenta  of  the  libmry, 
Jready,  I  fear^  ma  on  to  an  InordiDale 
it  come  to  an  end. 

bui  folio  editions  (1623,  1632,  1664, 
re  the  fortiiDat«  posMsson  of  two  cotu- 
iu«  to  Mr.  Oapetl  aud  Mr.  Grylls  re- 
Tbe  third  editioo,  as  is  well  known, 
iriginally  in  1663  without  the  seven 
Ays,  which  were  added  in  1664,  a  fresh 
teing  furninhed  which  enuinc-rutod  the 
cHtioD.  Both  the  copies  in  the  library 
Hue  containinK  the  seven  plays.  I  may 
ytn  error  in  Bohn*i  Lowmlti  (p.,  2256), 
■feted  that  the  Capell  copy  hfis  both 
^tx  has  that  of  1604  only,  with  the 
it  immediately  before  ai^.  b  ia  the  leaf 
SUon'e  verses  in  larige  type  on  the  verso. 
^B  quartos,  bowerer,  that  both  the 


student  and  the  colleotor  will  tarn  with  especial 
interest.  As  the  number  of  these  in  the  library 
is  considerable,  and  a  detailed  account  would  be 
anaaitable  in  the  case  of  books  so  minutely  de- 
scribed elsewhere,  I  have  tboDght  it  best  merely 
to  give  a  list  of  such  quartos  aa  are  here  of  dutes 
prior  to  the  issue  of  the  first  folio  edition  of  1623. 

The  plHya  are  arranged  in  alphabetical  order: — 

Bamltt,  160.').  1611  (titU  wantingX 

Menry  II'.  (First  Part),  1698,  1699,  1604  (im- 
perfect), 1613,  1622. 

J/Miry/r.(SeooodP(irt)1600.— Thisiaacopyof 
the  issue  in  which  sig.  R  bas  four  leavee. 

Henry  V.,  1600.  1602,  IGOa— Here  may  be 
mentioned,  though  it  baa  no  real  connexion  with 
the  pUy  of  ShftkKpeare,  a  play  which  ruus  in  a 
similar  jfTOove,  *'  Tht  Fanwus  Victories  of  HeiiT]i 
the  Fifth.     Containiog  the  Honorable  Batt«U  ot' 

Agin -Court Imprinted    by    Barnard  Alaop, 

dwelling  in  Garter  Place  in  Barbican.     1617/' 

Uemy  VL  (Second  Part).— This  play  first  ap- 
peared in  an  authentic  form  in  the  folio  edition  of 
16:13,  but  of  the  play  on  which  it  was  founded 
there  were  sereral  earlier  editions.  We  have  h^ru 
the  edition  of  16(X»  of  The  First  Part  of  the  <*oii- 
Untion  btiwizt  the  fico  Famoua  Bmites  of  Ynrkt 
and  Lanca%ttr.  The  edition  of  1619  includes  alsr> 
what,  in  its  anthentio  form,  is  known  as  the  Third 
Part  of  Heury  VT.  Here  we  have  The  iVhoJc 
Cantentiou  hrttcttne  tht.  tiro  Fumous  Houietj  Imh- 
ca*tfr  and  Yorke,  with  thf  Trngimll  End  of  th4 
Good  Dnle  Humfreyy  Hichard,  Duke  of  Yorkr, 
and  King  Uenrie  the  Sixl.  This  edition  of  th« 
pluy  is  not  dated,  but  we  are  able  to  fix  the  dato 
by  the  fact  that  it  merely  forms  p&rt  of  a  book, 
sig.  A-Q  4,  and  with  sig.  r  begins  PericUn,  without 
a  tiite-piige,  which  has  the  date  1G19  at  the  end. 
With  regard  to  the  edition  of  16O0  I  will  take 
this  opportunity  to  correct  au  error  in  Lowndu 
(p.  2281,  col.  2):  the  Cdpell  copy  is  that  printed 
"  by  Valentine  Simmes  for  Thomas  Millington," 
not  that  printed  "  by  W.  W.  for  Thomas  Mil- 
lintjtnn."  It  seema,  indeed,  to  be  uncertain 
whether  such  an  edition  as  the  latter  really  exists. 
At  any  rate,  there  is  no  edition  here  save  that  of 
Valentine  Simmes;  and  the  caae  as  to  a  copy  in 
the  Bodleian  fidls  to  the  ground  when  it  appears 
that  the  title  is  iu  MS.,  and  that  it  presents  the 
s!tme  typ^i^mphieal  peculiarities  aa  the  edition  by 
Vulentine  Simmes. 

King  John. — Of  this  play  there  was  no  edition 
till  that  in  the  folio  of  1623.  A  pUy,  however, 
which  Shdkspefire  drew  upon  for  the  plot  and 
characters  is  Tht  Tronbletomt  Baipte  if  John, 
King  of  F!nQfnnd,  mih  tJte  Disctnurie  of  Kiu^ 
Hichard  Corthlionx.  Of  this  we  possess  editions 
of  1591,  1611.  1622.  On  the  title-page  of  the 
6rst  no  author's  name  is  given,  in  the  second  it  is 
given  aa  W.  SL,  and  la  the  third  aa  W.  Shake- 
speare. 


NOTES  AND  QUERIES.        cet^s.  vitaui-io. 


King  Lmr,  1603,— Of  thic  pUy  there  are  two 
different  editions,  both  bekrine  the  aboredate,  and 
both  "printed  for  Nathaniel  Butter."  Theaathor'a 
name  in  eivea  as  Shak-speare  and  Sbake-speare 
reBpectively;  and  while  the  latter  merely  gives  the 
pabliahet'sJ  name,  the  former  notes  that  copies  are 
to  be  sold  "  at  his  «hop  in  Paul's  Churchyard,  at 
the  signe  of  the  Pide  Bull."  Remarks  on  the 
numerous  differences  in  the  rarioas  existing  copies 
of  the  first -named  issue  will  be  foand  in  the 
introduction  to  the  play  in  the  Cambridge  Shake- 
speare. 

iow'<  La6oi«r  *<  IrOii,  1598. 

Mtrchani  of  Vcniet,  1600.  —  There  are  two 
editions  of  the  play  of  this  date,  printed  **  by  J. 
RoberU"  and  *^by  I.  R  for  Thomas  Heyes"  re- 
spectively. 

Mnry  Wivu  of  WinMor,  1602,  1619. 

Mi'humvur  Night's  Dratm,  16(X).— There  are 
two  editions  of  the  play  of  this  dale,  one  "  printed 

by  .Tamea  Rnberts,"  and  the  other  "Imprinted 

for  Thomas  Fisher."  The  latter  is  probably  the 
first  edition,  as  it  contains  errors  which  have  been 
corrocted  in  the  other. 

Much  Ado  about  JVb<Ainy,  1600. 

Othello,  1622. 

Pericles,  1609.1619.

Jiirhard  III.,  1S98.  1602.  1612,  1622. 

liomeo  and  Julitt,  1&97, 1609.— The  foundation 
of  this  play  is  a  poem,  copies  of  which  are  of  ex- 
Iremp  r»rity:  "  Tlu  Tratjicall  History^,  nf  Rnnuits 
and  lulUt.  Written  in  Italian  by  Bandell  and 
now  in  EoKlish  by  Ar[thurj  Bf[oke]."  Our  copy 
of  this  unfortunately  wants  three  leaves;  perfect 
copies  are  in  the  Bodleian  and  the  Hulh  collec- 
tion.

Besides  these  quarto  editions  of  the  eenuine,  or 
at  any  rate  of  the  geoemlty  reooKQized,  plays  of

plays,  a  list  of  which  I  aubjoio,  omitting  any  edition

The  Puritaine;  or,  (A«  H'iddow  of  IVattiHg 
SItmU  1607. 

Tvikshiit  Tragedie,  1619. 

FiQallff  A  f«w  rare  editions  of  tliA  ShakspeaUAn 
pofiti«  may  be  mentioned.  Of  the  IVmu  and 
Adonii  ihe  only  edition  her>?  is  that  of  1620,  nf 
whiob,  to  far  aa  I  am  awaT<>,  the  Bodleian  copy  is 
tho  only  other  known.     Of  L\tcrtc4  w«  poiMSS 


editions  of  1598  and  1607,  the  former  bein^  sa 
yet  the  only  copy  known.  Of  the  iyonwlt  is  a- 
oopy  (unfortunately  imperfect)  of  the  edition 
1609.  Of  the  Pastionate  Pilgrim  is  a  copy  of 
Erst  edition  of  1599,  which  was  beliered  to  b» 
unique  until  the  discovery  in  1867  of  a  seoood 
copy  at  Lamport  Hall,  Northampton  shires  if 
seat  of  Sir  Charles  Ishani.  The  poem,  eioept : 
the  oase  of  the  last  three  leaves,  is  printed  on  oi 
side  only  of  the  leaf. 

When  it  is  remembered  that  the  number  of 
copies  known  of  the  least  rare  of  the  above  books 
may,  as  a  mic,  be  counted  on  one's  fingen.  and 
that  some  are  of  extreme  rarity,  a  conou«  Urtia 
given  above  of  one  particular  set  of  onr  treaniria 
may,  I  trust,  not  be  considered  tuisuitable  for  the 
oolumns  of  "  N.  &  Q." 

One  or  two  more  examples  mnst  aaffiof. 
Spenser  is  well  represented.  Of  the  Factit  QiMcitf 
is  the  first  edition  of  both  parts  in  two  volumes, 
15U0,  1506,  and  (he  second  edition  nf  the  whole 
work,  1596.  The  tyhrpheardf*  Calendar  occurs  in 
the  editions  of  1579,  1581,  1586,  ]5!>l,  the  first  of 
which  is  of  extraordinary  rarity.  The  Complninik 
(1591),  Prof(^}opoia  (1591),  Colin  Clout  (IS'tni. 
and  AinoTttti  (15!J5)  may  also  be  mentioned,  all 
published  by  William  Ponsonby, 

Here  is  a  little  volume,  which,  save  for  a  rather 
larger  number  of  fij-leavf^a  than  usual,  consists  of 
three  toru  leaves  only.  Yet  this  tiny  fragment  is 
not  only,  bo  far  as  is  jet  known,  unique,  bnt 
(save  for  another  torn  fragment,  since  di^covei 
in  A  private  collection)  is  ubaolulely  the  oa\j  diu 
evidence  that  the  work  of  which  it  forms  a 
was  ever  printed.  The  work  in  question  is 
old  English  poem,  ittnerydfSt  which  has  beei 
edited  by  Mr.  Wrifiht  for  the  Early  Kngliah  Text 
Society  from  the  Gale  MS.  (unique  as  to  its 
ticular  form  of  the  text)  in  this  library.  In 
Arber's  Tiannrripi  of  the  lUgittir  of  the  Compt 
of  StatimuvA  (\.  179)  wo  find,  among  the  licei 
for  1668-9,  *"  Recevyd  of  thoiiias  jmrfoots  for  hi 
lycense  for  prjntinge  of  a  boke  intituled  Q\ 
rijdts,  iiijd."  It  is  thus  reasonably  probable,  buV 
of  course,  not  certain,  that  our  fragment  oam^ 
frooi  Purfont's  press.  If  not,  then  two  separata 
editions  must  have  perished.  The  present  fm^i- 
m^nts  were  found  about  twenty  years  ago  v- 
binding  nf  a  book  which  once  belonged  to  I  ; 
mund  Caste)],  the  Ociental  scholar.  The  hut 
volume  I  frhalt  refer  to  is  one  by  no  meatu  com- 
monly met  with,  the  quarto  edition  of  some  of 
the  works  of  Sir  David  Lyndsay,  Lyon  King  of 
Afnu,  printed  "at  the  command  and  expenses  of

«ont«DU  of  any  great  library.  M^S.  flf  oluBical 
authors  or  of  Hoi;  Scripture,  illuminated  mcdi- 
CBval  MSS.,  testifying  to  the  pious  zeal  of  our  fore- 
ftthetB — all  these,  while  appealio^  Bpeoially  to 
different  ^ops  of  experts,  awaken  intelligent 
intereet  la  all  educated  people.  No  less  intereat- 
tDg,  too,  in  it«  way,  is  the  study  of  xncnnabula, 
with  ibe  light  they  throvr  on  the  social  history  of 
«ach  country,  to  say  nothing  of  that  moat  thorny 
question,  the  history  of  the  invention  of  printing ; 
tbougb,  after  Mr,  HesseU's  exhauative  essay  on 
Gutenberg,  we  may  as  well  adopt  Mr.  Blades's 
liamorous  suggeatiun,  and  say,  "  Printing  nerer 
was  inrented";  it  was  like  Topsy, '*  it  growM.'* 
Z^ater  still  we  reach  the  fully  dereloped  printed 
literature,  in  editions  Talued  for  their  Taried  ex- 
■oellence,  though  I  confess  to  no  sympathy  with 
the  collector  to  whom  au  extra  tenth  of  an  inch 
of  height  is  a  fact  of  supreme  importance.  Dibdin 
is  very  tedious  with  bis  talk  of  margins  and  large* 
{>aper  copies. 

Still,  while  the  most  varied  interest  is  roused 
by  any  great  collection  of  books,  the  associations 
which  cling  round  an  ancient  library  increase  this 
charm  tenfold.  To  handle  books  which  hare  been 
in  the  hands  not  of  a  series  of  colleatord,  changing 
■owners  from  time  to  time  as  the  fate  of  the 
auction-room  willed,  but  of  long  generations  of 
scholars  of  the  same  ancient  housL*,  who  constantly 
enriched  the  stores  of  the  library  with  their  own 
most  precious  books — this  lends  an  additional 
charm  to  so  old  a  library  as  that  which  I 
have  been  allowed  to  apeuk  of  at  aach  length  in 
the  hospitable  columns  of  "N.  &  Q."  One  takes 
into  one's  hands  books  doubtless  used  by  good 
tJishop  Fisher,  or  on  which  Francis  Bacon  b^an 
his  course  of  omniTorous  reading.  Here  are  books 
which  influenced  the  poetry  of  gentle  George 
Herbert  and  of  Drydon  ;  and  the  latter'a  own 
copy  of  Spenser,  with  the  MS.  notes  of  the  later 
povt,  now  lies  before  me. 

Before  Dryden  died  the  present  building  had 
r«oeived  the  old  cotlectiou,  and  in  this  stately 
room  we  know  that  Newton  and  Cotes,  Beutley 
«nd  Porson,  Thirlwall  and  Hare,  Wbewell  and 
Sedgwick  —  mighty  names  among  the  mighty 
dead — made  constant  and  abundant  use  of  the 
library. 

Fusing  away,  too,  from  associations  such  as 
tliMe  to  the  liring  present,  pleasant  it  is,  leav- 
ing the  broad  staircase,  to  cross  the  cloisters  and 
tb«  green  lawn  beyond,  where,  and  especially  in 
the  springtime,  tho  ancient  chestnuts,  and  the 
lime  avenue,  and  the  river  flawing  idly  by,  form 
«•  fair  a  setting  as  any  student's  home  need  desire.

THE  PHILOLOOICAL  SOCIETY'S  3EW 
DICTIUNAttV. 
In  the  work  of  arranging  and  digesting  soma 
portion  of  the  material  supplied  for  th«  Phiio- 
logicftl  Society's  new  dtctiooary,  I  have  come 
across  the  following  words,  as  to  which  I  am 
anxious  for  further  information  : — 

1.  Chuboll  {cJu$bow,  cluathoxc,  (JiasbuUf  Sec, 
variously  spelt),  the  poppy.  A  common  enough 
word,  though  now,  perhaps,  becoming  obsolete. 
Prof.  Eurle  (Bngliih  Flant-Na'mt$)  refers  this 
word  to  A.-S.  o«os«/,  Germ,  kiut  En^'.  chttil 
(preserved  in  Chesil  Beach)— a  pebble.  He  says, 
"The  name  ehubolU,  ball  of  pebbly  seeds,  is  a 
graphic  description  of  the  poppyhead."  I  have 
examples  of  its  use  from  \4^o  to  1630. 

2.  Ckeeuy  the  seed  capsule  or  fruit  of  the  mallow. 
Also  fuirly  well  establiahed  in  use,  and  not  yet 
obsolete. 

3.  Chas-appU.  Set  down  in  WebUer  and 
Ogilrie.  Said  to  be  (the  fruit  of)  the  wild  service 
tree.  Neither  of  them  gives  any  example  or  re- 
ference for  the  use  of  the  word,  but  that  it  is  or 
has  been  so  used  is  sup^wrted  by  the  coincidence 
of 

4.  Chtcker,  idem.     "The    Service    Tree is 

mis'd  of  the  Chequers  or  Berries,  which  being 
ripe  (that  is)  rotten  about  September,  may  be 
sown  like  Beech-Mast"  (Evelyn's  Stjlva).  My 
only  example.  Headers  need  scarcely  be  re- 
minded that  the  words  <ht»s  and  checker,  as  be- 
longing to  the  gamej  are  identical  (Kr.  ichecs, 
ichiq^tier). 

5.  Cheekerberry.  A  name  applied  (exclusively?) 
in  America  to  two  plants:  (a)  tho  partridge- berry 
{Mitch^Ua  upeiis),  (b)  the  wintergreen  {GMeria). 
So  Webster  and  Ogilvie.  The  word  occurs  in 
Uncis  Tom,  ch.  xvii. 

Can  we  now  find  any  thread  of  connexion  on 
which  these  various  words  may  be  strung  to- 
gether? Are  the  ehiete  of  the  mallow,  the  ehus 
of  the  poppy,  and  the  ehts*,  chtchr^  of  the  service 
but  one  and  the  same  word  /  And  if  so,  can  any 
meaning  for  it  be  obtained  from  eheUf  the  game, 
in  its  various  extensions  of  significance  1  The 
only  thing  which  favours  such  a  supposition  is 
the  indifferent  u^e  of  cKatg  and  ehicker  for  the 
service  berry;  olherwi'e  it  seems  highly  impro- 
bablet  In  defiiuU  of  this  we  must  inquire  next 
whether  Prof.  Earle's  cxplaoolion  of  chtsboll  will 
cover  the  whole  ground.  In  hts  view  the  cA<«f<s 
or  cAm«u  are  the  round  pebble-like  seeds.  May 
we  assume  that  the  word  c«osel  {kiett,  kiesel)^ 
pebble,  originally  applied  to  the  single  seeds,  was 
subsequently  extended  to  the  seed  cfipsules  or 
fruits,  as  in  the  mallow,  service,  and  (American) 
checkerberry  I  If  so,  we  nmsl  further  suppose 
that  the  original  significance  of  the  word  <Mx%^ 
che4stt  having  been  (otitoVXt^,  vx.  wftA  Xa^-^  v?*  \>fe

Further,  I  have  examples  of  the  word  cKas 
employed  ob  follows : — 

6.  (o)  ChesSj  Tb.=to  pile  up  [Dtaltci  of  Cravtn, 
1828). 

(fc)  Noiin=a  ilory.  Townhy  My»t<rie$j  fifteenth 
century:  "  Noe.  Three  chea  cbambre  they  are  well 
m.tde "  (t.  (!.,  the  "lower  second  and  third  $Uirita 
of  the  ark,"  GeD.  vi.  16). 

(f)=a  row  or  cluster.  EnglitJi  Chnre)i  Ooods: 
1 534,  "  ii  chesses  of  pie  "  (pearl).  Snrflet,  Country 
Fiirme,  161C:  "These  bay  trees  shall  be  planted 
in  double  chefse."  Turner,  Herbal,  I5bl:  "An 
ear  witli  two  chesses  or  orders  of  corn," 

frf)  Cheats,  "Ihe  planks  luid  over  a  pontoon" 
(Duke  of  fTeWtnyion'j  Tkipatcha).  This  word  ia 
(incorrectly)  given  as  cKuitx  in  Webster's  Dic- 
li,mary,  nnd  alio  (probably  copied  therefrom)  in 
the  last  edition  of  Ogilvie. 

T  ossame  {(i\  {h\  and  (c)  to  be  identical ;  as  to 
the  plaoe  of  ((/)  I  am  doubtful  It  is  not  impro- 
bable that  the  rows  or  olnsters  may  have  been 
called  chette*  from  compariaon  with  the  rows  of 
a  clie^shnnrd  or  the  array  of  cbeaamen.  And  it 
has  stnick  me  as  Just  possible  that  the  clniten  of 
the  service  apple  and  mallow  fruit  may  have  sug- 
^eated  the  same  comparison.  But  ttiis  would 
scarcely  fib  the  chtthoU,  poppy;  and  in  refinrd 
to  all  these  fruits  the  theory  is  so  liliJe  satis- 
fac^ory  that  I  almost  shrink  from  propoftinK  it. 

lastly^  I  find  from  Jumie't(m  that  rhfst  la  the 
Scotch  form  of  nash  (French  chduit),  applied  to  a 
window  frame,  and  uUo  to  the  frume  which  holdfi 
the  types  in  printing.  And  hither  I  am  partly 
disposed  to  assign  the  chesgc't  planks  (<np»d,  6  d). 

Now,  as  to  each  of  these  words  indiridaaliy,  as 
well  na  concerning  the  mutual  relation  of  all  or 
any  amonf;  them,  I  solicit  further  informntiou. 
In  particular,  I  fihould  bo  very  glad  to  obtain 
any  examples  from  English  authors  of  the  use  of 
theuapplfj  chits,  the  verb,  and  chukeri>tTry,  th« 
wintergrtcn  ;  also  further  examples  of  ehcrkir, 
llie  service  berry,  and  cA<*«*^^ planks.  Possibly 
there  may  be  forthcoming  a  greater  amount  of 
Ulustrative  material  Ihrm  would  be  needed  for 
puWicfttion  in  "N.  &  Q."  Mny  I  request 
readera  to  forward  euch  information  dirtH  to  my 
address  I  Any  trouble  which  they  may  be  good 
enough  to  take  in  the  matter  will  pfrhspa  save 
fuuire  labour  (where  a  snviog  is  urgently  needed) 
to  Dr.  Murray. 

I  find  that  I  must  add  a  postscript,  having, 
since  the  above  waa  written,  licht<?d  on  one  more 
word,  or  HW  of  a  word,  which  seemR,  oddly 
cnoughj  to  ally  itself  to  the  first  of  the  foregatng 
KToups.  It  ifl  the  word  i/y,  or  perhaps  key«,  still 
in  use  as  applied  to  the  Ht^ed  pOiN  of  the  ash  and 
other  trees  (ex.  in  Latham  from  J.  Erelyn) ;   olao 


used  iu  connexion  with  the  hazel  in  M.John 
I'oyagt  to  Jermaitm,  1660,  Hakluyt,  vol.  ii. 
says :  "Y*  nentes  ["if  the  canalette,  Cyprian  locust'] 
or  as  I  may  mther  terme  them  cases  of  the  e( 

are  much  like  to  the  keies  of  a  basel-nut 

when  they  be  dried,  and  of  the  same  lenj 
Does  he  mean  the  very  nuts  of  the  hazel  or 
ealkint  f  I  am  unable  to  decide.  I  find  these 
egg  cases  described  (iii  Westwo^d)  as  "  horizontal 
tubes  of  earth  coated  with  a  glutinous  secretion." 
But  in  cither  case  (nut  or  catkin)  we  have  a  K»ed 
npparatuB  uniting  the  word  in  appearance  to  ih* 
dmti  and  rhtesu.  Looking  at  ibis  usage,! 
is  tempted  to  think  thai  an  original  wor)i] 
(Germ.  Ida)  has  shared  the  fate  of  ptas€

Comparative  IjOnqetitt- — That  the  aTeng# 
of  life  is  higher  now  than  it  has  been  in  past 
times,  as  maintained  in  a  recent  number  of 
"N.  &  Q.,"  is  a  belief  con6rmed  by  Cambridge 
experience.  The  late  Mr.  Gunning  used  to  say 
that  in  his  early  days,  i. «.,  from  17B7  to  1P20, 
"  very  few  fellows  of  colleges  passed  the  ago  of 
forty  without  developing  a  considerable  'corpora- 
tion ' — a  thing  now  very  rare,  sir."  He  accounted 
for  it  by  the  greater  quantity  of  beer  and  wine  cod- 
sumed  by  our  predecessors,  combined  with 
neglect  of  bodily  exercise — to  which,  in  foci 
early  dinner  hours,  1  or  2  o'clock,  were  ad 
The  college  barber,  who  has  now  a  sinec^irev 
in  constant  requisition  for  the  purpose  of  po 
ing,  &c.,  the  hair,  or  of  curling  the  periwig 
by  the  elder  men.  "  In  fact,  sir,  you  heanf 
windows  iu  the  court  frequent  cries  addn 
to  that  functionary  as  he  pastied — perhaps  oi 
turn — to  a  neighbour's  rooms."  This  natn 
prevented  morning  exercise,  and  must  havi 
temipted  study.  It  was,  moreover,  usi 
fellows  to  adjourn  from  the  dinner  table  I

These  were  held  in  Latin.  A  fellow  of  a  c<

One  only  of  them  reached  the  n«e  of  seventy,  and 
he  was  a  man  of  compontively  re^^ulur  faahilSt 
who,  bowevfr,  imbibed  a  good  deal  of  college  ale 
both  at  dinner  and  supper,  thoagh  he  never  sat 
long  after  dinner. 

Another  of  the  trio,  Mr.  G.,  a  mnn  of  g:Tciit  wit 
and  humour,  wus  never  ceen  to  wtUk  further  than 
to  hidl,  or  perbups  to  the  library  of  the  collefje  or 
univenity.  He  bud  beon,  by  all  acconnta,  n  javial 
boon-compiLnion  —  not,  strictly  speaking,  intem- 
perate, but  eelf-indulgent  in  diet  and  prone  to  sit 
over  his  wine.  Among  other  instances  of  his  ready 
wit  and  accarate  memory  the  following  is  re- 
corded. Jofleph  Woltf,  the  celebrated  missionary, 
was  on  one  occasion  brongfat  into  hall  by  a 
drgnitfiry  of  the  college  greatly  interested  in 
miftsions.  He  amuKed  those  who  sal  near  by  a 
variety  of  stories  of  his  missionary  life,  and  more 
pnrticubrly  of  that  part  of  it  spent  in  Abyssinia, 
whence  he  had  recently  returned.  Among  other 
things  he  relnted  that  be  entered  the  capital 
of  the  kingdom  mounted  on  a  donkey,  and 
dressed  in  a  scarlet  D.C.L.  gown^  which  he  hud 
ucquired  the  right  to  wear  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  0;(ford.  His  oddity  and  zeal  combined 
made  a  less  favourable  impression  on  old  Mr. 
G.  than  on  the  rest  of  the  byaitters.  He  eyed 
Dr.  Wolff  criticallj,  and  at  length  broke  out 
thii4:  "And  do  you  remember,  sir,  what  the  his- 
torian Gibbon  9»j3  of  the  eoipire  of  Abjssioial" 
**  No,  I  do  not."  "  He  s:»y»,  sir,  at  the  end  of 
his  forty-sevenlh  chapter,  *The  pates  of  that 
soUttfry  realm  were  for  ever  shut  aftainst  the  arts, 
the  science,  and  the  fanaticitm  of  Europe."  Mr. 
O.'s  opinion  of  the  value  of  missionary  efforts  may, 
perhaps,  be  mea.<«ured  by  a  question  he  asked  of 
one  of  the  junior  fellows,  who  had  been  enUrging 
on  the  cleverness  and  sagacity  of  a  chimpanzee 
then  in  the  Z.iolofrical  Gardens  in  Regent's  Park.

Ink  for  MANrscRiPTS. — I  have  lately  been 
copying  some  valuable  memoranda  made  about 
forty  yearn  ago,  and  I  Hod  that  the  ink  has  already 
lost  much  of  its  original  colour.  This,  it  appears 
to  me,  may  be  the  eiLse  with  most  of  the  notes 
now  being  made  by  correspondents  of  "  N.  &  Q.," 
and  on  looking  through  the  correspondence  on  the 
subject  in  the  last  oeries  I  cannot  find  that  the 
remedy  has  been  made  clear.  U  is  of  little  nse 
to  recommend  the  ink*  of  exisrinij  mnkera  for  their 
colour,  fluidity,  or  other  apparently  good  qualities, 
so  long  as  we  do  not  know  of  what  they  are  made, 
and  thftt  the  chemical  combination  is  such  aa  to 
«0«nre  their  permaneuce. 

The  only  prnctical  attempt  to  solve  this  qncstion 
thot  I  can  find  in  *'  N.  &  Q"  is  a  communication 
from  J.  K.  T.  B.  (5"'  S,  xii.  306),  giving  a  receipt 
for  ink  used  at  New  College  in  141S;  and  this 


•impiv  consists  of  .1  lb.  of  gatts,  31b,  of  eoppecsS| 
and  Ij  lb.  of  gum. 

1  have  a  receipt,  of  the  date  of  1R24,  for  what  is 
called  "Exchequer  ink,'*  said  to  endure  for  cen- 
turies, and  this  is  "To  40  lb.  of  gulls  add  10 lb. 
of  gnm,  0  lb.  of  copperas,  and  45  gallons  of  soft 
water." 

No  details  are  given  in  either  receipt  for  the 
subsequent  manipulation  of  the  materials,  and  we 
are  left  very  much  in  the  position  of  Mrs.  ^Vrugga 
with  respect  to  the  captain's  omelette.  PerhacNi 
some  reader  of  "  N.  &  Q."  will  kindly  supply 
what  is  omitted.  I  am  sure  many  of  us  would  be 
very  grateful  to  him,  for  we  should  then  be  ablo 
either  to  make  our  own  ink,  or  to  have  it  made 
according  to  our  own  receipt  and  under  super- 
vision. John  H.  Cmapuak.

WisD  VKR3DS  Fanxers. — P.y  the  death  of 
Mr.  Alexander  Ferguson,  farmer,  of  Wester 
Lundie,  near  Doune,  in  Perthshire,  Scotland  has 
lost  a  sturdy  and  typical  agricaUurist,  Ho  was 
over  ninety  years  of  nge,  and  followed  his  father 
and  his  grandfather  in  the  same  farm,  while  ho 
has  left  his  son  to  continue  the  interesting  succes- 
sion. It  is  said  that  Mr.  Ferguson's  father  in- 
vented the  threshing-mill  for  horse-power,  and  it 
is  a  curious  fact  that  his  grandfather,  well  back 
in  the  eighteenth  century,  underwent  ecclesiastical 
criticism  and  reproof  for  endeavouring  to  improve 
npon  Nature's  method  of  winnowing  grain.  The 
following  occurred  in  the  Bridgt  of  Allan  Jit- 
porter  the  other  week  in  a  notice  of  the  Ute  Mr. 
Ferguson : — 

*'  It  is  told  of  bis  grandfather  that  he  invented  a 
pair  of  fnnners  for  cleaning  gmin,  and  fnr  this  proof  of 
miperior  ingenuity  he  was  summoned  before  the  Kirk 
8^S4)on  •n'i  rrprored  for  tr/tng  to  place  the  handmoric

the  prain  (in  windy  days  when  the  carrent  was  bluwinis 
brukly  through  the  open  doors  of  the  barn." 

It  is  not  on  record  whether  the  second  Mr.  Fer- 
guson was  "  dealt  with  "  for  bis  contribution  to 
agricultural  advancement,  but  tradition  bos  it 
that,  after  long  waiting  over  an  incomplete  and 
apparently  hopeless  achievement,  he  was  suddenly 
inspired  one  morning  in  bed  with  the  idea  of  hu 
perfect  design.  Thomas  Batnb.

InviKO  AND  THE  DoGS. — The  following  anec- 
flotti  reached  me  many  years  ago  from  unquestion- 
ul>lo  authority,  and  as  having  been  related,  I 
think,  by  Irving  himself.  It  is  the  practice  of 
the  Scottish  shepherd  to  bring  his  faitbful  coUey 
with  bim  in  bis  nttendnnce  on  public  wort>hip. 
On  one  occasion,  when  Irving  was  preaching  in 
bis  native  Innd,  and  no  doubt  to  an  overflowing 
congregation,  there  wns  a  large  number  of  shep- 
herds among  his  hearers,  whose  dogs  were,  accord- 
ing to  custom,  relegated  to  the  gallery,  while  their 
masters  sat  below.  The  dogs,  it  mav  be  supposed, 
were  all  old  acquaintauces,  and  might  be  expected 
to  behave  with  decorum.  But,  unluckily,  on  this 
occasion  a  stranger  was  introduced  ;  the  intrusion 
was  not  only  unwelcome,  but  was  resented  in  a 
high  degree  ;  and  the  disapprobation  and  snarling 
became  at  lust  so  intolerable  that  the  unfortunate 
newcomer  was  fain  to  provide  for  his  safety  by 
bolting  over  the  front  of  the  gallery  into  the  body 
of  the  church,  and  escaping  to  the  outside,  pur- 
sued in  the  snnie  precipitate  manner  by  the  whole 
body  of  bis  foes.  T.  W.  Wedb.

A  PoBTRAiT  OF  Dr.  JoB2(eoy.— In  the  nnaU 
edition  of  Boswell's  Lift  of  Johruon,  edited  by

length  portrait  of  Johnson,  described  as  "  from  the 
original  painting  in  the  postesc^ion  of  Mr.  Ardt- 
deacon  Cambridge."  The  doctor  is  represented  as 
standing,  looking  towards  the  spectator's  left,  with 
his  left  hand  raised  and  his  head  inclined  down-

Oeioinal  Statutes  of  RotJEjr  Cathedral. — 
Can  any  of  your  correspondents  inform  me  whether 
the  original  statutes  of  Rouen  Cathedral  are  still 
in  existence;  and,  if  so,  where  they  are  to  be  found  1 
I  have  looked  for  them  in  vain  where,  if  anywhere, 
I  might  have  expected  to  find  them,  viz.,  the  Con- 
cilia Hotamagensis  Provinei(v  of  Bessin,  1717.  As 
this  collection  contains  all  documents  connected 
with  the  cathedral  and  province,  and  the  statutes  are 
not  there,  I  fenr  they  have  perished.  I  have  also 
consulted  Vllistoire  roHtiqiu  it  Rdigicuii  ds 
tJSglite  Metropolitaine  de  Itouen^  by  L.  Fallue, 
1860  ;  La  Frana  PonHficah^  by  Fisquet ;  and  the 
Gallia  Christiana,  vol.  xi.,  but  with  no  satisfac- 
tory results.  As  the  founder  of  Lincoln  Cathe- 
dral, Bishop  KemigiuSj  is  said  by  Giroldus  Cam- 
brensis  to  have  taken  the  Cathedral  of  Houen 
OS  his  model  in  the  arrangements  for  the  cathedral 
body,  it  would  be  interesting  to  compare  the 
original  statutes  of  the  two  churches,  if  that  were 
still  possible.  Edmumd  Venables.

Hrr^ldic  Shield  verbcs  Hbraldic  Lozenge. 
— Learned  heralds  iuittruct  u^  that,  the  Queen 
alone  excepted,  ladies  niny  not  bcnr  nrnioriul 
nhiclds  ;  neither  may  they  n5e  helmeti",  Inaibre- 
qiiin?,  crest^  nor  mottoes,  their  arms  being  borne 
U(>nn  a  Inzeogc.  They  affirm,  likewise,  that, 
akhouLjh  the  husband  raises  his  wife  to  his  own 
rftuk,  siie,  if  bis  superior  in  position,  cannot  confer 
on  hira  a  correHpondirg  accession  of  diynity. 
Moreover,  they  leuch  us,  in  accordance  therewith, 
that,  should  a  peeress  in  her  own  ri^ht  wed  a 
commoner,  the  bmband's  shield  of  arms,  charged 
with  an  ineacutcheon  bearing  bis  wife's  arms  nnd 
mrmounted  by  her  coronet,  should  be  placed  with 
his  crest  and  motto  towards  the  dexter,  whilst 
towards  the  sinister,  below  her  coronet,  ebuuld  be 
emblazoned  on  a  lozenge  the  arms  of  bis  wife 
alone,  tl^nked  by  her  supporters,  but  without 
crest  or  motto.  Thus  all  the  insignia  to  which 
her  rank  entitled  her  before  her  marriage  would 
remain  entirely  unchanged. 

But  A  grant  of  arms  and  supporters  which  I 
have  seen  very  recently  is  wordinl  and  is  em- 
bUzoned  after  a  fashion  which  puzzles  me,  and 
whilst  snppre^sing  any  cUio  to  the  identification 
of  the  responsible  officials  or  of  the  grantee,  I  seek 
a  reojtoo  for  the  diTergenco  from  the  eiitablished 
custom. 

An  heiress  of  ancient  linengc  and  of  broad 
acres,  whose  forefathers  had  been  entitled  to  sup- 
porters, but  who  was  not  a  peeress  in  her  own 
ri(!hl,  married  a  commoner,  also  of  cood  descent, 
who,  under  the  terms  of  an  entail  in  ber  family, 
WM  compelled  to  awume,  under  the  royal  autho- 
rity, the  surname  and  arms  of  his  wife  in  addition 
to  his  own.  Following  thereupon  the  heraldic 
aathoritics  granted  the  right  for  him  to  quarter 


his  wife's  arms,  bnt  they  would  not  kivo  him  bis 
wife's  supporters.  It  ftppi?:»rj  likewii<e  (o  bare 
been  considered  necessary  for  I  lie  t  wly  to  uhtaiu  » 
f^runt  or  confirmation  of  arms  :ind  suppoct'Ts,  nnd 
ui>on  ibe  margin  of  thnt  document,  on  a  shield 
flanked  by  ber  hereditary  supporierd,  but  without 
crest  or  uiotio,  are  depicted  the  aruii  of  her  hus- 
band  quartered  with  her  own. 

I  should  be  glad  to  be  informed  (l)  whethor 
nowadays  Garter,  Lyon,  or  Ulster  would  place 
the  arms  of  the  lady,  under  such  oircumi^inuccs, 
upon  a  shield  or  upou  a  lozenge  ;  and  (2)  whetlter 
in  the  grant  to  the  wife  the  heralds  of  our  time, 
consetiucnt  upon  the  assumption  by  her  husband  of 
her  Burnarue  and  arms,  would  rjuurter  his  urms  wltb 
her  own.  Such  a  proceedinj^'  would  be  open  to 
objection  ;  for  should  the  lady  become  a  widow 
nnd  remarry  she  would  forfeit,  her  right  to  con- 
tinue to  bear  the  arms  of  hor  deceased  husband. 
Would  she,  therefore,  bo  obliged  to  petition  that 
the  first  grant  might  be  CLincelled,  and  ihat  a. 
second  grunt  uiii^bt  be  issued,  quartering  with  bet 
own  the  arms  of  ber  second  husband  7 

The  lady  would  certainly  be  saved  both  trouble 
and  cost  if  the  heralds  would  from  the  first  ex> 
emplify  her  armorial  bearings  and  those  of  her 
husband  or  hushnnds  separately,  in  the  manner 
approved  for  a  peeress  in  her  own  right  as  above 
wl  furth,  but  with  tbe  omission  of  the  coronet ;. 
and  I  desire  to  learn  (3)  if  such  a  mode  of  mar- 
shalling would  be  correct.  Fusii,

CoLiFiscQ. — A  few  days  ago  I  was  struck  with 
this  word  in  tho  window  of  a  sort  of  corn-shop, 
where  it  formed  part  of  a  label,  "  Cnlifinch  for 
canaries."  Failing  to  find  the  word,  I  *'  guessed  " 
thiit  it  was  one  manufactured  by  the  shopkeeper, 
having  never  eeen  it  before,  and  thinking  that  oa 
n  aiuary  is  a  sort  of  finch,  the  word  might  hnve 
some  connexion  with  the  bird  intended  to  be  fed 
with  the  article  described  by  it.  However,  pass- 
ing the  shop  again,  I  went  in  aud  a«ked  what  kmd 
of  "ubslance  the  colifinch  wa*,  and  whence  obtained. 
I  wiLH  told  that  it  was  a  hirgc  thin  biscuit,  and 
that  is  wiis  introduced  originally  from  France.

"THE  SOULE'S  ERRAND." 
(G'*'  S.  vi.  4(J6.) 
ii«  query  Mr.  Vilks  throws  down  an  old 
of  contention,"  over  which  there  has  been  a 
il  of  critical  wrangling.  The  poem  in  ques- 
is  genenilly  introduced  by  modern  editors  with 
statement  that  it  woa  "  written  by  Sir  W^olter 


tbi 


Ralegh  on  the  cveaiag  before  Lis  execution  ";  and 
though  the  ti»t  clause  of  tbe  ftMertion  may  be 
true,  the  second  is  unque»tionably  f.iUe.  The 
execution  of  Ralegh  (that  blackest  s[>ot  upon  the 
memory  of  the  pusilliinimous  tyrant  James  I.) 
took  place  in  1618,  and  tbe  poem,  entitled  The 
LyCf  commencing — 

"  Goe,  soule  !  the  bodies  guest 
Upon  a  tbankelftiie  arrant/' — 

was  printed  in  a  uiiscellaneous  collection  of  poetry, 
entitled  A  Poitieal  RajaodU;  cofitaining  dimm 
SonneU^  Odes,  Bl/gies^  ^fa^^ricals^  Pcutcrals,  Eg- 
togius,with  othir  /'o«mjj,&c.,  printed  by  W.Sunaby, 
1611,  12mo.  I  cannot  any  from  my  own  observation 
whether  the  particular  poem  in  question  appeared 
in  the  first  edition  (1C02)  of  A  Pottical  Rajnodie; 
but  OS  C.  Cowden  Clarke  says  that  "  a  copy  of  the 
stanzas  can  be  traced  as  far  back  as  1593"  (Percy^e 
lUliques,    it.    241,    note,    Edinburgh,  1868),  this 
is  al  least  likely.     That  collection  was  made  by 
Francis  Daviaon,   and   many  of  the   pieces    or* 
initialed,  one   of  them   being  A  Po(ne  io  ptvve 
Affection     it    not    ItOvt,    signed     W.    R.,     and 
Aoother,    The  Lt/t^  which    is    without    sijfnature. 
RiliiOD,  therefore,  argued  that  the  latter,  together 
with  other  pteces  which  bear  no  identifying  signa- 
ture, wa9  by  Francis  Davison  ;  but  this  position 
is,   I  think,  uatcnuble.     Tbe  authorship  has  also 
been    ascribed    to    Richard   Edwards  and    Lord 
Essex  ;   and  the  poem  was    ^  parodied,"  as  Mr. 
Pnrko  justly  says  {Crruura  LiUrariaj  i.  231,  6rBt 
edition),  by  Joshua  Sylvester,  and  reprinted  with 
Rome  diversity  in  Lord  Pembroke's  Poems^  1660. 
Both  Edwards  and  Lord  Essex  may  be  dismiased 
at  once — the  former  was  dead  in  1570,  hia  decease 
being  noted  io  Turberville'a  Epitaphs,  ifc,  printed 
in  that  year  ;  and  had  the  poem  been  written  by 
him    it  would    certainly    have    been    included  in 
Hubscqnent  editions  of  Tht  Paradyt^  of  Daynty 
Dntitf*.      The   fragments   of  poetry  which   have 
been  left  to  posterity  by  the  unfortunate  Earl  of 
Essex  do  not  warrant  the  belief  that  the  trenchant 
sentences   of   The  Lyt  were   within    his.  literary 
ability.     Sylvester's  share  in  Tht  .s'aw/e*«  Eirand 
mainly  consisted  io   making  a  noble  poem  con- 
temptible, as  any  one  may  see  who  will  turn  to 
the   most  complete  edition  of  his  works,  1641, 
where  it  will  be  found  (in  the  division  entitled 
"  Elegies,  Epistles,  and  Epitaphs,  written  by  Joshoa 
Sylvester")  expanded   from   thirteen    8taij7.as   to 
twenty,  some    of  which   are  distinguished  by  a 
**rule"   drawn    perpendicularly,  for    the  possible 
purpose  of  dtrectiog  the  reader's  attention  to  the 
improvements  (!)  iu  the  poem,  which,  da  ruif^  ifl 
trimmed  and  garbled  almost  out  of  recognilinn. 

AUhoueh  it  is  de.ir  that  Ruleah  could  uot  have 
written  77i«  Lyt  on  the  eve  of  his  execution  in 
I6I8,  it  ia  very  possible  that  he  did  oompon*  it 
whilst  smarting  under  the  effects  of  his  rerneni- 
bronce  of  Sir  Edward  Coke'd  brutalities  during  ibe

travesty  of  justice,  misnanie*!  n  "  trifll,"  which 
resulted  in  his  condemnnLion  in  1603.  The  Attor- 
ney OcDcralj  indeed,  w&s  so  carried  away  by  bis 
zcaI  as  to  dratr  censure  upon  bis  bebtiviour  to  the 
gallant  knight  frniu  the  very  stafie.  Shnkspere 
in  his  Tictlfth  Niifht  is  suppoaed  to  allude  to 
Coke  when  he  puts  these  words  into  the  mouth  of 
of  Sir  Toby  Belch  :  **  Taunt  him  with  the  license 
of  lake:  if  thou  thou'itt  him  some  thrice  it  Bhiill 
not  be  amissc,  and  aa  many  Lyes,  as  will  lye  in 
thy  afaeete  of  puper,  aUhough  the  shecte  were  bigge 
enough  for  the  beddeof  Wiire  in  EnglaDd" — the 
allusion  being  to  the  three  "  thous  "  addressed  by 
Coke  to  Kalegh  :  "  Thou  riper  !  for  I  (Aoi*  thee, 
^u  traitor  ! "  The  bitter  emphasis  of  7*ht 
Lye  accords  with  one's  idea  of  Sir  Walter 
Ralegh's  noble  nature  urouscd  by  such  insults. 
It  accords  also  with  the  style  of  My  PilffHrrutge, 
which  he  is  knowa  to  have  written  between  his 
return  from  the  Kiug's  Bench  and  kia  execution, 
which  took  place  the  next  morning  : — 

"  From  thence  to  HeAven's  bribeless  Hall, 
Where  no  corrupted  roicoa  brawl, 
Na  conscience  molten  into  gold, 
No  fiirg  (1  accmer  bought  or  sotil, 
No  CRUsa  deforr'd,  no  rnin-tpont  Juumey, 
For  there  Christ  is  the  Kind's  aLliirney ; 
Who  pleads  for  all  without  deitreM, 
And  be  bath  angols,  but  uo  feet.'' 

H  Mr.  Collier's  MS.  evidence  may  be  depended 
upon  (see  his  Bibliographical  and  Critical  Cnto' 
loffHf,  ii.  224),  there  can  be  no  reasonable  doubt  that 
Balegb  was  understood  to  be  the  author  of  the 
poem  in  question  daring  his  lifetime  ;  the  argu- 
ment is,  howcTer,  too  long  to  be  included  in  this, 
I  fear,  too  lengthy  reply.        Alfred  Wallis, 

With  regard  to  this  poem,  Dr.  Hannah,  in  his

More  than  &  third  of  the  entries  in  the  lir&t  edition

tervening period,  and  their  place  htis  been  t;ikea 
by  other  men  and  other  families,  of  whom  it  may 
be  said  that,  whatever  the  length  of  their  purser, 
their  pedigree*)  (on  paper)  are  shorter  than  those 
of  their  predecessors,  for  tho  four  or  fire  thousand

In  the  mentirtn  of  toI,  iv.  of  this  work  it  is 
said  "no  portrait"  prefixed,  which  is  the  case 
with  the  other  three  volumes.  For  a  long  time, 
having  obsorved  this  omission  in  the  copy  in  my 
posResfiioD,  tho  inference  was  drawn  Ihut  the  hau^ 
of  the  illustrator,  as  ho  is  called  iu  The  Book 
UunUr,  had  been  at  work,  and  the  portrait  lorn 
out  to  be  added  to  some  collection.  I  found,  how- 
ever, reason  to  change  my  opinion;  for  this  reason, 
because  on  examining  several  copies  of  the  book 
which  came  at  intervals  in  lay  way  the  same 
omission  occurred,  now  corroborated  by  your 
correspondent.  Why,  it  may  be  asked,  is  vol.  iv.  in

LiERNK  (G*"  S.  Ti.  469).— I  am  gUd  to  find 
that  this  word  has  been  a  difflanlty  to  other* 
thou  myself.  I  hare  paid  some  attention  to 
charch  architecture  for  many  years,  aod  I  hare 
visited  every  cathedral  in  EugUnd  but  one,  yet 
it  was  not  until  quite  recently  that,  by  puttioR 
two  and  two  together,  I  puzzled  out  the  meaning 
of  luriii. 

In  the  first  place,  lit  me  Taulting  is  not,  I  believe, 
met  with  earlier  th^n  the  Decorated  style,  and, 
being  ornamentikt,  it  is  naturally  found  more  often 
in  the  choir  than  in  tho  nave  ;  and  if  it  occurs 
in  both,  as  e.g.  in  York,  Gloucester,  and  Norwich 
cathedral*,  it  would  be,  I  should  say,  commonly 
richer  in  the  choir.*  But  now  let  me  proceed  to 
state   what    this   kind  of  vaulting  is.       If  Ma.

If,  however,  Mb.  Jcerjjc  will  look  to  the  ptatn 
I  hare  named,  he  moat  see  what  a  li^ruf  vamt  ia, 
and  he  may  now,  perhaps,  understand  the  rety 
conciae,  bat  very  te^mieal,  definition  given  of  it 
(i.v.  "Vault*')  in  Paper's  GUmanf  above  qaoted. 
This  deScition  runs  as  foUowi :  "  The  abort  ribe 
which  connect  the  bosses  and  intMaectioDa  of  the 
principal  ribs  and  ridge-ribs,  bat  which  do  not 
themselvea  either  spring  from  an  impost  or  occupy 
the  ridge,  are  termed  ttema,  and  the  vaults  in 
which  they  occur,  lunu  Taults."  Littr^*e  defini- 
tion (for  the  word  is  French)  is  still  shorter,  but 
to  me  it  is  more  intelligible,  as  it  is  leas  technical ; 
it  rons  as  follows :  *'  Kom  donn^,  dans  les  voutes 
gothiquea,  a  certaines  nervores  qui  so  croisent 
entre  elles." 

As  for  the  derivation,  Littr^  says  nothing  more 
than  "peut-c'tre  pour  limn^";  and  under  lunne 
(which  seems  to  mean  threads  of  the  warp  which 
have  not  yet  been  crossed  by  the  woof)  he  laya, 
**  Mot  qui  semble  tenir  a  licr,  et  vlre  !e  meme 
que  <tan<."  Now,  I  do  not  think  it  likely  that 
lunn<  should  have  become  the  harder  I 
though  we  do  find  instancea  of  what  I 
called  "dissimilation"  (see  "N.  &  Q.,"  5** 
423  ;  B^^  S.  i.  2ia,  note  t)\  but  I  mean  to  stick  to 
the  derivation  /ur,  as,  though  it  may  be  incorrect, 
it  expresses  very  exactly  what  these  cross  ribs  or 
litmts  do,  and  that  is^  cotintct  two  things  together.

MiDDLB  Navss  (6***  S.  rii.  49).— I  have  recently 
found  three  instances  in  the  Hurleian  M5S.  The 
eldest  daughter  of  Sir  Cbrislopher  Draper,  who 
wua  Lord  Mayor  of  London  in  156C,  is  called 
Mur^aret  Bennett;  and  a  son  and  grandson  of 
Sir  Thomas  White,  the  date  of  whose  mayoralty  is 
not  given,  but  who  can  be  identified  as  the 
founder  of  St.  John's  College,  Oxford,  are  called 
respectively  Kicbard  Warren  and  Oliver  Crom- 
well. D.  L  a  s. 

Armorial  Bearings  of  thr  Border  Familiks 
(C"  S.  vi,  468).— Th:it  the  Border  fimiiies  thought 
it  uo  abaoie  to  be  descended  from  CHttle  reivers, 
and  to  follow  the  same  vocation,  there  is  little 
doubt— it  was  the  "custom  of  the  country,"  and 
the  hif^hest  families  thought  it  no  dishonour  to 
their  numc  ;  but  as  to  their  arms  being  derived 
from  ihese  pursuits,  I  very  much  doubt  it.  The 
silver  crescent  was  the  badge  of  the  Percies,  Earls 
of  Northumberland,  and  the  Wharloua,  and  it 
wna  the  goneml  custom  for  many  families  to  adopt 
the  device  of  their  chief  or  leader  ns  part  of  their 
nrrii«  ;  this  [a  well  known  in  heraldry,  and  every 
county  shows  a  great  prevalence  of  one  particular 
cbnr;^e.  The  crescent  is  common  in  Northum- 
briun  arms  for  this  reason  ;  the  garbs  of  the  Earta 
of  (*hcsier  are  common  in  many  Cheshire  arms  ; 
the  '*  ohequy  "  is  common  in  Norfolk. 

The  "  dun  bull  "  of  the  Earls  of  Westmoreland  is 
well  known,  and  the  silver  bull's  bead  of  the  Oj^les  ; 
tbe*u  are  no  more  taken  from  the  cattle-lifting 
{Propensities  of  the  owners  of  thoae  badges  th:m 
the  bliLck  bull's  head  of  the  Boleyns  of  Norfolk 
the  horse's  head  badge  of  Sir  John  Dance. 

Strix 

Tor  oy  Suhdats  (6*  S.  vi.  408).— This  herb 
was  evidently  offered  to  either  the  king  or  queen, 
ttud  as  evidently  it  was  intended  to  suggest  or 
eymboli:^^  the  rue,  the  regret,  sorrow,  or  remorse 
which  he  or  she  ought  to  feel  for  hi^  or  her  grievous 
aius.  Ophelia  takes  rue  aUo  for  herself,  but,  usin^ 
un  heraldic  mode  of  speech,  says  that  each  "must 
wear  it  with  a  difference,*'  t.e.,  »he  as  betokening 
•orrotv  for  her  Ium  (or  looses),  the  utheroji  repentant 


sorrow.  But  as  me  was  nUo  called  "  herb  nf  grace," 
it  hud,  and  here  might  have,  another  symbolical 
meaning.  To  distinguish,  therefore,  the  sense  in- 
tended, and  to  emphasize  this  sense  the  more,  she 
is  made  to  add,  "  We  may  on  Sundays,  one  day  in 
the  sdTen,  but  not  on  the  other  six.  call  it  herb  o' 
grace."  I  also  think  it  very  likely  that  this  re- 
ference to  its  other  name  was  intended  to  suggest 
this  other  thought.  Such  me  being  sincere,  re- 
pentant, and  accompaaied  bv  prayer,  may  obt^iin 
the  forgiveness  of  God,  and  tnen  be  termed  '*  herb 
of  grace,"  Taking  the  facts  that  Claudius  was  in- 
tended to  die  in  his  sins,  and  the  Ghost's  desire 
that  Certrnde  should  he  left,  to  Heaven  and  to  the 
thorns  that  in  her  bosom  lodge,  and  that  in  the  in- 
terview between  herself  and  her  upbraiding  son 
she  is  apparently  repentant,  we  find  in  these  further 
proofs  of  the  correctnera  of  the  stage  tradition 
which  gives  the  rue  to  the  queen.

John  Gumlet  (6*  S.  Tii.  62,  95).— As  I  was 
in  the  same  regiment  va  Col.  Samuel  Gumley, 
though  he  was  102  years  my  senior,  I  will  giro  all 
the  information  we  possess  about  him.  He  appears 
originally  to  bare  served  in  tbe  Coldstreams.  He 
entered  tbe  ]»>t  Guards  as  a  captain  and  lieutenant- 
colonel  in  1742,  and  was  appointed  major  and 
colonel  in  coinmand  of  the  first  battalion  of  the

Tub  Haigs  op  Bemerstde  (6""  S.  viL  102, 
152), — Without  going  into  the  question  of  the 
manner  in  which  Anthony  Haig  completed  bis 
title  to  the  entate  in  1672,  I  may  say  that  it  does 
not  really  affect  tbe  question  of  representation. 
The  gift  of  Mr,  William  Haig's  escheat  to  bis 
nephew  David  rather  tends  to  show  that  the 
latter  was  his  heir.  Tbe  material  point  is  the 
recently  asserted  identity  of  Robert  of  Bemersyde 
with  Ilobert,  farmer  at  Throsk.  In  favour  of  this 
Mr.  C.  E.  Haio  cites  a  pedigree  formerly  the  pro- 
perty of  Sir  William  Morison.  When,  by  whom, 
and  from  what  authorities  was  that  pedigree  com- 
piled? Can  Mr.  Haio  produce  any  lease,  con- 
tract, sasine,  entry  in  a  parish  register,  or  other 
authentic  document,  in  which  Bobert  Haig  in

A  Parodt  bt  O'CosicRr.L  (6**  S.  vL  468;  Tit.

that  O'ConnelPs  famous  parody  of  Dryden's  epi- 
taph (•*  Three  colonels  in  three  different  counties 
born,"  &c.)  is  little  more  than  a  plagiary  from  tbe 
once  well-known  Iruh  Magazine^  published  ia 
IBIO.  In  vol.  iiL  p.  192,  of  that  periodical  tbe 
following  appears: — 

''  Three  n^ajors  once  annoyed  a  eitj's  peace. 
And  each  contended  for  supreme  dUgrace ; 
The  fitit  o'er  thefts  und  tortures  di'i  preside. 
The  second  excelled  in  fo'blest  homioide  ; 
The  palm  to  grai.t  old  Satao  l'>ng  was  loth. 
Till  the  third  rubbed  and  murdered  more  than  both.'* 

The  Irish  Magazine  was  a  specially  Gatbolio 
organ,  and  directed,  to  a  great  extent,  against  those 
who  suppressed  the  rebellion  of  1793.  Moore's

The  Visitation  of  Lincolnshire  in  1592  and  of 
Berks  in  1G64-6  is  being  now  continued  in  the 
Genealogist.  In  vols,  iv.,  v.,  vl.  I  find  only  the  fol- 
lowing notices  of  the  name  of  Pieydell: — Thomas, 
son  and  heir  of  T.  Saunders,  of  Woolston,  married 

Martha,  daughter  of Pieydell,  of  Shrivenham. 

John  Champion,  at.  thirty  in  1665,  son' and  heir 
of  George  Champion,  of  Wanting,  clerk  of  the 
peace  for  Berks,  married  Mary,  daughter  and  heir 
of  Robert  Pieydell,  of  the  Grange,  co.  Berks. 
These  are  in  the  Visitation  of  Berks.        Strix. 

Abcham  akd  Ladt  Jane  Gret  (G*^^  S.  vi*

reference  to  bis  interview  with  Lady  Jane  Grey 
most  certainly  show  that  be  bad  no  further  inter- 
view with  her  immediately  before  her  execution. 
He  says : — 

"I  remember  this  talke  gladly,  both  bicausa  it  it  so 
worthy  of  mem(>rie,  and  bicause  also,  it  wai  tbe  last 
talke  that  ever  I  had,  and  the  last  tyme,  that  ever  I  saw 
that  noble  and  worthie  Ladie."— Pp.  3i-5,  ed.  Mayorr 
1863. 

This  interview  occurred  in  the  summer  of  1550. 
In  1554  she  was  executed.  The  Scholemaster  was 
written  in  1563,  and  first  pnblisbed  by  Ascham'a 
widow  in  1570.  F.  C.  Bibkbeck  Tebrt.

I  think  that  theio  likenesses  were  so  commoD 
in  faniiliea  as  to  occupy  a  siuitar  place  with 
photngruphs  now.  I  bare  Severn),  nome  of 
which  are  of  a  character  not  hitherto  noticed 
in  *' N.  iSt  Q  ,"  in  a  few  of  these  the  onsiiitance 
of  colour  beiD((  brought  in.  Two  are  of  Indian 
of&cers,  in  which,  while  the  face  and  hut  are 
hiack  the  pluoio  and  uniform  are  in  colour  ;  one 
of  myself,  in  1830,  has  ihe  shadinij;  in  bronze  ; 
an  earlier  one  of  another  has  the  same  ;  ooe  of  a 
county  magistrate  before  1625  is  slightly  touched 
with  white  ;  one  of  a  Fellow  of  Oriel,  before  1795, 
hiLS  the  face  formed  by  cutting  out  ihe  paper  and 
placing  it  loose  on  a  black  buckground;  that  of 
his  nephew,  also  a  Fellow  of  tbe  same  college,  is 
on  the  inner  surface  of  conrex  glags,  which  relievea 
the  flatness.  If  I  may  be  allowed  to  speak  of  my- 
self, it  is  probable  that  the  artists  acquired  by  their 
practice  an  acute  perception  and  recollection  of  the 
face3  which  came  before  them.  When  I  went  into  a 
shop  in  the  Strand,  after  more  than  twenty  years, 
the  artist  said  at  once,  "  I  have  seen  you  before." 
It  appeared  to  be  made  out  that  he  was  the  s&me 
who  bad  taken  me  on  the  former  occasion  in 
Oxford  in  the  year  wbiob  I  mentioned.

There  have  now  been  a  great  many  communica- 
tions upon  this  subject,  but  no  one,  to  my  great 
surprise,  seems  t«  be  aware  that  there  is  a  sil- 
houette arttat  now  pmcti»ing  his  vocation  at  tbe 
Westmintter  Aquarium.  I  was  taken  there  my- 
self About  a  year  ago,  and  I  now  possess  two  sil- 
houettes of  myself.  The  other  was  taken  about 
forty-tive  years  ago,  in  Dublin,  when  I  was  quite  a 
boy.  On  that  occasion  a  machine  was  used,  or 
apparently  was  used,  and  I  still  distinctly  re- 
member that  a  rod,  or  something  similar,  was 
Eassed  over  my  prodle.  Tbe  artist  at  the  Aquarium, 
oweTer,  uses  no  machine,  and  merely  cuts  tbe 
profile  out  of  a  piece  of  black  paper  with  a  piiir  of 
acissors  whilst  Inokinf;  at  his  Tictim.  His  charge 
is  sixpence,  and  if  the  silhouette  is  touched  up 
with  gold  paiot  afterwards  one  hhilling.  The 
adrantnge  of  tbe  gold  paint  is  that  with  a  the  hair, 
whiskers,  beard,  and  moustache  upon  that  side  of 
the  head  and  face,  together  with  one  car,  can  be 
represented^  as  w<>il  as  the  wrinkles  (if  aiiked  for) 
and  some  derails  of  the  dress.  F.  Cuakck

Nicholas  V.  (1447),  npparently  baring  no  family

CalixtusIII,  (Borgia,  1455).— I  liavetbe  bordure

Innocent  VIII.  (Ciho,  1484).— I  have  the  bend

Alexander  VI. — The  same  as  Calixtns  III.  for

The  torteaux,  vulgarly  supposed  to  represent  pilU, 
to  illustrate  the  name,  dilfer  very  much  in  number

Adrian  VI.  (1523)  — One  wonders  where  tbes«

shrine  himM.  But  when  later  he  came  to  be  pre- 
ceptor of  Charles  Quint,  bo  probably  saw  enough 
of  "the  pomp  of  heraldry."  The  curious  charges 
which  Mr.  Everard  Greeit  calU  (tent)  books 
may  have  been  adopted  to  symbolize  either  of  the

The  mount,  of  courae,  from  Dal  Monte,  the  name

of  wheat,  of  which  I  note  six  inHte.itl  of  five,  are

Sixlus  V,  (1585). — This  is  undoubtedly  n  pear

Urban  VII.  (1590).— This,  again,  is  a  chestnut 
(proper)  in  its  husk  (or),  not  a  pomej;rannte,  the 
name  being  Costagno,  Indeed,  it  ib  recorded  of 
Sixtua  V.  that,  regarding  Cardinal  Castagna  as 
tlie  right  man  to  be  his  successor,  he  used  to  aoy, 
"  See,  the  pears  are  beginning  to  grow  mouldy,  you 
will  be  served  with  chestnuts  next." 

Gregory  XIV.  (1690). —  This  leafless  tree  ia 
again  a  play  on  the  Pope's  name  of  Sfrondati.  I 
do  nut  know  that  it  ia  a  walnut  tree,  however. 

Paul  V.  (1605).  —  The  Borghese  arms  are,  I 
think,  a  dragon,  not  a  aemi-dragon,  and  the  beak 
gules. 

Urban  VIIL  receired,  I  believe,  the  title  of 
"the  Attic  bee"forhi«  eloquence  in  Greek;  but 
I  fear  I  cannot  claim  this  for  the  origin  of  the 
bearing  of  the  Barberini  bee.

down  aa  lumps  and  their  tincture  gales;  the  eagle 
eable  crowned  or. 

Alexander  VIII.  (1689).— I  have  got  this,  Aznre, 
a  bend  argent ;  a  chief  or,  charged  with  a  double- 
Leaded  eagle  diaphiyed  and  crowned  sable. 

Innocent  XLl.  (1691).— Already  noted  (6**»  S. 
vi.  271,  646). 

Clement  XIII.  (1758).— I  have  this  2  and  3, 
^ure  (not  gules);  the  ca.stle  argent  with  sable 
iuurkings  of  stones  (F  do  not  know  the  heraldic  term 
for  this);  4.  Bendy,  arcent  and  gules  (not  azure). 

Clement  XIV.  (17U9).— I  do  not  know  why  this 
Pope  bears  the  arms  of  his  order  (Franciscan)  in  a 
•chief,  as  does  Benedict  XIII.  those  of  the  Domi- 
nicans; while  Pius  VII.  impalen  those  of  the 
Benedictines,  and  Gregory  XVI.  those  of  the 
Carnal  (lolese. 

Pius  Vf.  (1755).— I  hare  this  noted  as  Quarterly, 
1  and  4,  Or,  a  double-headed  eagle  displayed  sable, 
crowned  of  the  firat ;  2  and  3,  Azure,  a  fess  argent 
charKed  with  two  lleurs-de-Jya  or  between  three 
4».HtoiIes  of  the  same  ;  over  all  an  escutcheon  of 
lirctence  gules  charged  with  a  lily  proper,  bent 
under  the  breath  argent  of  a  Boreas'  head,  crined 
proper,  issuant  from  a  cloud  argent  ;  on  a  chief 
jirgent  three  estoiles  or.  (I  observe  that  Mr. 
WooDWAiiD  gets  over  the  difficulty  of  one  metal 
4>n  another  by  blazoning  these  estoiles  "proper," 
hut  they  can  only  be  expressed  by  gilding. )  These 
Braschi  orms  have  been  very  cleverly  used  by 
Franzoni  in  adorning,  or  rather  forming  the  capitals 
of  the  ten  Carrara  pilasters  in  the  great  Sala 
Kotonda  of  the  Vatican  Galleries.  While  preserv- 
ing the  general  form  of  the  Corinthian  cupital,  the 
eagles  form  tho  supports  of  the  four  corners,  and 
the  Boreas'  head  and  lily  occupy  the  centre. 
^  Pins  VII.  (1800).— The  charges  of  the  dexter 
eide  of  this  shield— including  not  only  the  patri- 
archal cross  remarked  upon  by  Mr.  Woodward, 
but  tho  mount  under  it,  which  I  should  have 
liked  to  connect  with  Chiaramonif— are  the  arras 
of  the  Benedictine  Order.  For  the  sinister 
<Chiaramonti)  side  I  have.  On  a  bend  argent, 
<M)tised  azure  and  or,  three  Saracens'  heads  proper, 
wearing  a  fuscia  argent  (perhaps  one  ought  to  say 
'•  banded  ardent,"  only  they  are  not  mere  bands, 
they  are  twisted  kerchiefs  with  ends  hanging);  on 
a  chief  aztire  three  estoiles  or  (not  argent).

Gregory  XVI,  (1831).— By  spelling  this  Pope's 
name  of  Cippellari,  as  both  your  correspondents 
do,  with  one  p,  the  alhwion  is  lost  of  the  sable  hat 
which  he  bears  in  chief  (c«peWo==a  hair;  caj>ptllo= 
!i  hat ;  cnppelUio  or  cappilUrOy  a  hatter,  or  possibly 
Jiat- be.irer,  fur  Cardinal  Wiseman  tells  as  Gre- 
gory XVI.  wafl  born  of  a  noble  Lombard  familV) 

Pius  IX.  (1846).— The  qu&rterings  I  and  4  are 
the  Mostai  arms,  2  and  3  for  FerrettL 


Leo  XIIL  (1878).— I  believe  it  will  be  found  a 
pure  error  to  suppose  that  this  Pope's  arras  were  at 
any  time  represented  with  the  field  gules.  Having 
had  the  advantage  of  being  several  times  kindly 
received  by  him  when  he  was  Bishop*  of  Perugia, 
I  fancied  I  remembered  the  field  azure  at  that 
time,  but  to  make  sure  I  have  ascertained  from  a 
correspondent  there  that  the  field  gules  b^d  never 
been  seen.  The  tree  should  doubtless  be  a  pitch 
pine,  for  Pecci,  but  is  always  drawn  like  a  cypress, 
and  I  think  I  have  always  seen  it  painted 
proper,  not  or.  With  regard  to  the  question  of 
"  estoiie  fulgent "  or  "  comet,"  I  have  now  before 
me  two  engravings  of  these  arms,  one  of  which  has 
a  straight  pencil  of  rays  issuing  from  the  star  and 
the  other  a  sort  of  wavy  beam.       K.  U.  Bcsk. 

The  RarnvEJc  Pberagb  (6""  S.  vii.  87,  109, 
163,  IGd). — I  do  not  desire  to  take  any  part  in 
this  controversy,  which  seems  to  be  in  fully  com- 
petent hands ;  but  I  cannot  refrain  from  expressing 
my  surprise  at  finding  Mr.  J.  H.  Ruusd  quoting 
with  approbation  the  dictum  of  Lord  Mansfield 
from  the  well-known  Sutherland  case,  that,  with 
regard  to  honours,  "  the  law  presumes  a  limitation 
to  heirs  male  of  tho  body."  I  had  thought  that 
if  there  was  any  one  of  Lord  Mansfield's  whims 
which  was  universally  discredited  by  students  of 
Scottish  peerage  law  it  was  this.  The  presumption 
was  entirely  his  lordship'iii,  and  has  been  a  very 
fruitful  cause  (as  Mr.  Roukd  perhaps  knows)  of 
peerage  litigation.  Let  me  bring  to  Mr.  Round's 
notice  the  opinion  of  the  late  Mr.  Maiduieut,  than 
whom,  I  suppose,  no  one  was  more  competent  to 
judge.  In  his  (privately  printed)  Mtmorial  for 
the  Earl  of  PtTth  he  says,  p,  128,  "  The  dictum  as 
to  the  presumption  in  favour  of  heirs  male,  which 
originated  with  Lord  Mansfield  in  the  same  case, 
is  equally  untenable,  and  a  reference  to  Mr. 
Riddell'a  invaluable  work  on  the  Scottish  peerage 
is  sufficient  to  establish  this."  In  case  Mr.  Round 
should  not  hnpf)en  to  he  acquainted  (and  I  fear  he 
cannot  be,  fur  ho  makes  no  reference  to  it)  with 
the  work  to  which  Mr.  Muidiuent  refers,  I  may 
give  its  full  title— /m^u try  into  ilu  Law  ana 
Practice  t?i  Scottish  Peerages  (Edinburgh,  1842).

This  is  really  too  tad.  Wo  arc  by  no  means  content  to 
wail  "  a  century  or  two  "  for  what  would  now  give  us  ao 
much  pUaturo  and  initruction.  The  letters  from  the 
two  ladtrs,  the  mother  and  the  wife,  only  fill  a  portion, 
and  not  the  largvr  portion,  of  the  vulumo;  but  to  every 
one  but  the  biBtnrian  uf  political  inlriKus  they  wilt 
be  found  by  far  the  moat  interesting  part  of  the  col- 
lection. 

The  mother  must  have  been  a  charming  old  lady,  pas- 
aionately  devoted  to.  her  ion,  and  little  leM  fervently 
devoted  to  her  doga  and  ber  monkey,  of  whose  ways, 
sport*,  pastimes,  and  slolcneaies  she  writes  in  the  moet 
childlike  manner.  Though,  as  far  us  we  can  make  out, 
a  moat  exemplary  womnti,  she  was  a  confirmed  match- 
maker;  almoiC  every  latter  before  ber  son's  m»rrtai;e 
oontaina  good  advice  as  to  bis  marr>inK  a  lich  nnd 
handeome  wife.  Thut  the  »me  spirit  exists  at  present 
flTerj  one  who  goes  into  society  is  fully  aware ;  but  we 
do  not  think  that  tbt^  moet  n<anig)ng  of  mothers  would 
now  commit  their  ideas  so  freely  to  paper.  The  good 
lady  was.  however,  not  singular  in  heroittApokeniiess, 
for  she  tells  her  son  of  a.  lady  who  Une  fire  dautslitei-s 
**Tery  bandiom."  who  will  sell  the  carl  a  house  for  fire

I^dy  StrafiTord's  letters  are  much  better  vrriltcn  thau 
those  of  her  mother-in-law.  The  speliing  nnd  grammar 
are  for  the  time,  not  bad,  and  some  attention  is  r^id  to 
style.  Their  affrctionate  tone  makes  them  deligluful 
reading,  We  lometimes  get  a  pictijro  in  tlicm  of  it  state 
of  Mciety  from  which  we  have  drifted  very  far.  In  July,

Ml:s.  WiLLKTT  hnn  pioduced  u  most   interesting  book 
ttt/Ottt  the  pariEh  where  bhe  lives.     Uer  husbftuJ,  she 


tells  us,  is  the  vicar,  and  she  therefore  possAMoi  fAcIliticff 
for  coniulting  the  parish  dooumcntd.  There  is  no  pre- 
tension of  arch feo logical  learning  or  deep  reteurch  in 
her  little  Xxtok,  hut  she  has  been  a  moit  iu'lustrious  and, 
we  may  add*  judicioas  compiler.  Pew  ftcts  in  iiriuted 
bitoks  seem  to  have  escaped  her,  and  she  Ims  mado  good 
ofie  of  such  manuscript  authorities  a«  csmo  within  ber 
r'uch.  It  is  most  pteaiing  to  find  a  clergyman's  wife 
doTotins  heriolf  to  a  task  so  useful ;  one  wliicU  is  not 
only  calculated  to  give  iDStnictiun  and  pleasure  to  her 
neighbours,  but  alio  to  cultivated  people  who  buy* 
never  visited  the  spot.  We  have  loo)[cd  out,  after  the 
manner  of  reviewers,  for  all  the  errors  we  could  find. 
Wc  have  only  met  with  one,  and  that  but  a  very  slight 
lapse.  Mrs.  Willett  telli  us  (p.  20)  tbnt  "  the  Earl  of 
Dartmouth  is,  at  the  present  time,  nominal  lord  of  the 

manor. West  Bromwlch,  however,  ii  not  any  lunger 

a  manor,  there  being  now  no  copyhoM  property  or 
'ouetoms'  of  the  manor."  It  is.  clearly  an  error  to 
imagine  that  copyhold  lands  or  customs  are  neceuary 
to  the  existence  of  a  mnnor.  Maoors  may  be  destroyed, 
but  enclosures  and  enf ranch issmenta  of  copyhold  lands 
do  not  elfect  this.  If  a  stray  sheep  or  heifer  were  found 
within  the  precincts  of  West  Bromwich.  for  which,  after 
duo  inquiry,  no  owner  could  be  found,  to  whom  does 
.Mrs,  Willett  think  it  would  belong?  C'nr  opinion  la 
that  if  the  Karl  of  Dartmouth  insisted  on  hi«  rights,  the 
sheep  or  heifer  irould  be  his.  It  seems  that  during 
certain  excavations  in  the  churchyard  the  bones  of 
hor*cs  were  found  intormixed  with  those  of  men.  Mrs. 
Willet  luggejts  that  there  may  have  Iwen  a  pit  accident, 
and  that  loe  remains  of  borsei  and  men  may  have  been 
interred  together  in  the  churchyard.  West  Bromivicli 
Church  siands  in  n  spot,  as  she  hai  shown,  long  de> 
dtcatcd  to  religion.  A  more  probuble  explanation  is 
that  the  Christian  temple  was  built  on  the  tite  of  a 
non-Christian  grave  mound,  and  that  these  were  the 
relics  of  faots<?B  buried  nith  their  mastera.  Such  bors* 
buiitils  wi're,  in  tbc  heathen  time,  common  throughout 
ilie  greattr  part  of  Northern  Europe.  From  extrrtcts 
given  from  the  churehwnrdens' accounts  it  seems  thufc 
a  fee  was  paid  to  the  wardens  as  well  as  to  the  vicar  for 
burial  within  the  church.  A  sintiUr  custom  prevailed 
in  many  widely  separated' parte  of  England.

Wb  had  occasion  (ti"'S.  iii.  400)  to  notice  the  first  in»tnt-

pleasure  in  stating  thut  the  second  livrditotk.  novr 
before  us,  fully  justifies  tbe  praise  we  gave  to  Ita  fore-

in  number,  extoitding  from  Xo.  37  to  No.  81,  and  many 
of  them  deserve  a  separate  notice,  which  would,  how- 
ever, be  quile  impossible  with  tho  small  space  at  our

now.  In  tbo  first  place,  so  far  as  the  chronological  ord-  r

THB  CHOIR  OP  WESTMINSTER  ABBEY." 
'he  decision  which  it  is  anderslood  the  Dean 
^d  Chapter  of  Wi^atminaber  havo  arrired  at,  not 
undertake  any  lar^e  alteratiocs  in  the  interoal 
mgeoaents  and  fittings  of  the  Abbey,  will,  I 
ink,  be  generally  receirod  with  .a  sense  of  relief. 
»t  that  tbe  present  arrangements    can    be  re- 
led  as  sktisfactory.     F:ir  from  it.     Bat  it  is 
It  that  tbe  time  for  any  considerable  change  has 
yet  arrived  ;  that  any  attempt  at  the  present 
le  to  reconstruct  the;  choir  unci  its  fittings  would 
premature  ;  that  in  a  nutter  of  such  national 
l(>ortance,  and  in  which  so  many  and  such  various 
'  ids  and  tastes  hare  to  be  consulted  and  satisfied, 
ill  be  wiser  to  wait  until  the  true  principles  of 
ledral  arrangement — I  may,  I    hope,  be  par- 
ted for  the  technical  incorrectness  of  classing 
restminster  Abbey  with  cathedrals — are  belter  un- 
itood  and  more  generally  recognized,  riitber  than 
the  risk  of  a  second  or  a  third  time  making 
costly   mistake   and   spending  large  sums  on 
fcborate  works  which  another  and  presumably 
^ter  instnioted  generation  will  have  to  undo. 
to  exterior  of  th«  Abbey,  patched  and  pared, 
and  restored  as  it  has  been  by  architect 
rchitect,   from    Wren   down  to  Blore  and 
^ttntil  there  is  hardly  a  fragment  of  original 


stonework  anywhere  left,  and  ihe  very  design  it 
in  many  parta  almoat  irreparably  lost,  needs  all 
tbe  attention  of  tbe  Chapter  and  tfaeir  careful 
architect,  and  will  swallow  np  far  larger  funda 
than  without  pariiamcntary  aid  will  be  at  their 
diapoaal.  On  thia  they  may  for  some  considerable 
time  to  come  well  concentrate  all  their  attention. 

Every  time  there  is  any  talk  of  meddling  with 
the  choir  of  the  Abbey  the  newspaper  press  teema 
with  wild  schemes  for  its  reconstruction,  niually 
oharacterized  in  an  equal  degree  by  audacity  and 
ignorance,  together  with  a  complete  carelessness 
of  history  or  ritual  propriety.  One  writer  is  for 
thrusting  the  whole  of  the  staUs  op  into  tbo 
sacrarium,  to  leave  the  eastern  part  of  the  choir 
free  for — I  was  gnog  to  say  worshippers,  but 
I  SCO  ho  really  means  auditors  and  spectators. 
Another  would  pull  down  the  western  screen 
altogether,  and,  as  was  once  so  unbsppily  done  at 
Durham,  throw  the  whole  church,  nave  and  choir. 
Into  one.  Another  would  ct«ar  awny  everything 
that  obtrnots  eight  or  sound,  and  reduce  tbe  Abbey 
to  a  huge  pariah  church.  £uch  has  his  own  nostrum, 
bsppily  carrying  its  own  refutation  with  ir.  It 
is  biirdly  credible,  but  it  is  none  the  less  true,  that 
in  18-37,  when  the  late  Mr.  Blore  was  r<;con8traot- 
ing  the  choir,  it  was  gravely  proposed  in  the 
EccU»ioli*gist,  the  famous  organ  of  the  Cambridge 
Camden  Society  which  did  so  much  to  dilfusetrue 
principles  of  church  architecture  and  arrangement, 
that  the  stalls  should  be  removed  from  the  place 
they  have  almost  certainly  occupied  from  the  days 
of  the  Confesftor,  in  the  easternmost  bays  of  the 
nave,  to  the  lantern  archea,  their  backs  being  taken 
out  to  enable  worshippers  in  the  transepts  to  see 
through.  The  space  thus  vacated  was  to  be  thrown 
completely  open  and  seated  with  benobca  faoiug 
eastward,  aUlei  and  all,  "  this  latter  constderor 
lion"  being  regarded  as  "a  very  great  recommen- 
dation "  :  thus  forming  "  a  nave  of  considerable 
extent,  furnishing  accommodation  with  its  aisles 
and  thetwo  transepts  for  an  extremely  large  congre- 
gation, enabled  by  the  central  position  of  the  choir 
to  take  part  in  the  service  with  their  eyee,  their 
ears,  and,  we  trust,  their  hvartii."  This  extraor- 
dinary scheme  was  propounded  in  August,  1647. 
In  the  June  of  164U,  in  the  same  journal,  there 
appeared  a  severe  criticism  on  Mr.  Blore's  new 
choir,  which  had  meanwhile  been  completed. 
This  is  pronounced  to  be  "an  niter  and  laborions 
failure,"  "a  warning  and  a  mark  for  ridicnle," 
far  inferior  in  ''solemnity  and  religiousness  of 
appearance"  to  the  old  choir  "  with  iu  miserable 
stalls."  I  cannot  say  that  I  am  any  admirer  of 
Mr.  Blore'a  stall  woik,  which  is  far  loo  narrow, 
squeezed  up,  and  cramped,  and,  like  his  earlier 
work  at  Peterboroogh,  is  characterized  by  tbe 
strange  mistake  of  copying  stone  work  in  wood 
— tbe  oanopiea  of  the  tomb  of  Aymer  de  V«.Iaw<i» 
are  expressly  named   b^  \iim  ^&  \^   \aai»«^  — 


oveTlooklaz  the  difTerenca  of  treatmeot  proper 
to  such  different  materiaU.  But  wilh  all  tbeir 
faolts  his  choir  fittings  are  on  the  anciont  lines 
and  strictly  follow  the  old  arrangements,  which 
woaM  h^re  been  completely  annihilated  by  the 
outrageous  plan  of  the  EctlmcJogUt.  That  eneh 
a  Bcheme  should  hare  been  f  erlotisly  proposed  by 
the  self-constituted  and  generally  accepted  cbitif 
authority  on  all  ritual  matters  is  a  striking 
evidence  of  how  much  had  to  be  learnt  fire-and- 
thirty  yean  ago,  and  ve  may  thankfully  add  hew 
much  has  been  learnt  since  then.  But  we  have 
much  still  to  learn,  and  it  wilt  be  wi^ie  to  waic  till 
we  bare  Icirut  it  before  we  claoiour  for  a  fresh 
upset  of  the  interior  of  the  Abbey,  and  perhaps, 
as  has  been  the  case  at  St.  Paul's,  a  aeries  of 
experiments  satisfying  nobody. 

The  history  of  the  ritual  arrangemente  of  the 
choir,  as  far  as  we  can  trace  it,  ia  very  in- 
teresting, and  a  few  notes  upon  It  may  not  be  ua- 
aeoeptable.  There  is  no  sufficient  reason  to  doubl 
t^t  the  Confessor's  choir  extended,  as  at  present, 
■ome  distiince  into  the  nave  to  the  west  of  the 
oroaing.  This,  I  need  hardly  say,  was  the  rule 
in  Nonuan  monastic  churches.  We  see  it  still  at 
Norwich,  Winchester,  Gloucester,  and  St.  Albans, 
the  most  striking  instance  of  all;  and  we  know 
that  it  was  so  till  comparatively  recent  altera- 
tions in  other  cathedrals,  e.g.j  Ely,  Peterborough, 
and  Chester. 

The  choir  as  it  existed  np  to  the  Reformation, 
and  probably  to  the  Qreat  Rebellion,  occupied  the 
three  easternmost  bays  of  the  nare  which  had  been 
sdded  to  the  apse  and  transepts  of  Henry  IK.  by 
£<lward  I.  At  the  third  pillar  from  the  western 
lantern  arch  stood  the  eastemmo&t  of  the  two 
screens  which  in  the  larger  Benedictine  churches — 
Durham  and  Norwich  are  well-known  examples — 
separated  the  ritual  choir  from  the  nave  ;  the 
westernmoet  Boreen  standing  at  the  fourth  pillar. 
The  space  between  the  two  was  probably  floored 
OTer,  as  it  still  is  at  Norwich,  and  supported  an  altar 
and  *^  a  pair  of  organs,"  as  well  as  the  rood  with  its 
attendant  images.  This  arrangement  of  the  double 
screen  was  still  in  existence  at  Westminster  in 
liTing  memory,  and  ia  marked  down  in  the  plan, 
dated  1825,  in  vol.  it.  of  Britton  ai;d  Brayley'a 
Public  Buildings  of  Lvmlon.  The  original  stalls 
would  Mobably  be  of  the  date  of  the  choir,  Ump. 
£dwata  I.  ^  A  few  fragments  of  them  still  exist, 
oorrefponding  to  this  period.  The  greater  part  of 
them  probably  perished  in  the  general  havoc  of 
the  Great  KebeUion. 

The  atalls  which  preceded  Mr.  Blurc's,  which  not  a 
few  of  ui  are  old  enough  to  rciucmber,  dated  from 
1  he  latter  part  of  the  U>t  century.  Mr.  E.  W.  Bray. 
ley  {i;.it.)  et«ites  that  th«  stalls,  together  with  the 
aloie  wainscot  screens  which  cut  oti  tho  transepts 
Ccom  the  lantern  arches  were  "constnictcd  aliout

c.g^  that  in  Brittou  and  BrayUy's  work  just  men- 
tioned, Keale's  and  Ackermann'a  Histories,  t&\ 
The  style  was  the  flimsy,  showy  Gothic  introduced 
by  Wyatt,  of  which  Salisbury  and  LicbSeld  oatbe- 
drals  and  New  College  chapel  till  recently 
exhibited  examples.  At  the  beginning  of  the 
century  Malcolm  pronounced  them,  *'  with  their 
highly  enriched  canopies,'*  "  very  beautiful. 
Twenty  years  later  a  purer  taste  had  beet) 
awakened,  and  Mr.  Bmjley  describes  them 
"ornnmented  with  canopies  and  pinnacles  in 
Pointed  style,  thovgh  not  in  good  toiUS

tike  A  pulpit,**  the  benches  tbeinselves  "ihswing 
the  AotiTltj  of  the  human  mind  &ud  baude,  that  can 
perform  the  ritee  ot  religion  and  at  the  same  time, 
with  dull,  broken  kaives,  cut  LnitiAla  or  c&rre  a 
Qfttne." 

To  paaa  from  the  cut  to  the  west  eod  of  the 
choir — when  Dart  publiafaod  his  history  of  the 
Abbey  in  1742,  the  westfro  separation  of  the 
choir  from  the  nave  was  formed  by  a  perfectly 
plain  solid  wall,  probably  the  remains  of  the  old 
'*  pulpitura/' with  an  opening  in  the  centre  con- 
taining 'a  pair  of  handsome  gates  g^^ted  with 
iion  and  gilt."  The  gates  were  dunked  on 
either  side  by  a  cluster  of  Doric  pilasters  rising 
into  lofty  obelisks,  enriched  with  drapery  and 
cherubs' hesds,  "  finely  carred  and  gilt,"  These 
obelisks,  I  believe,  may  be  still  seen  somewhere  in 
the  triforium.  The  organ,  "  a  stately  organ  giU/* 
stood  on  the  north  side  of  the  ohoir,  above  the 
centre  of  the  stalb.  In  the  aisle  below  monu- 
rueots  of  the  organists  Purcell,  Blow,  and  Croft 
tuark  its  place.  When  Malcolm  wrote  in  1^12-5, 
the  organ  bad  been  removed  to  the  we&t  end  of 
the  choir,  **  the  caso  being  extremely  plain  and 
large."  The  entrance  to  the  choir  had  aUo  been 
closed  by  "  a  flat  arch,  with  an  obtuse  foliaged  one 
orer  it,  and  pinnacles  on  the  side  pillars."  Against 
the  plain  wall  had  b^en  erected  the  monuments  of 
Sir  Itaao  Newton,  1727,  and  Earl  Stanhope,  which 
are  now  enshrined  under  the  rich  but  heavy 
canopies  of  Blore's  elaborate  screen. 

The  reeoDstniction  of  the  choir  by  Mr.Blore  com- 
inenced  with  tho  erection,  in  1841,  of  this  screen 
cnasking  the  old  wall  of  the  *'  pulpUnm  "  behind  it. 
The  work  was  carried  on  during  1347-48,  and  com- 
pleted in  the  latter  year.  It  comprised  the  erection 
of  an  entirely  new  range  of  stalls  under  pedimentui 
canopies  on  either  side  cf  the  choir,  with  returns 
At  the  west  end,  and  longitudinal  seatp,  or  rather 
pews,  in  front  of  them  ;  the  reconstruction  of  the 
organ  and  its  division  into  two  puts,  placed  in 
the  side  arches,  so  as  to  admit — I  think  mis- 
tskenly — an  uninterrupted  prospect  from  the 
west  door  to  the  east  end  of  the  apse ;  and,  what  is 
roach  to  be  deplored,  the  alteration  of  the  levels. 
I  believe  that  up  to  this  time  there  was  a  Hight  of 
two  or  three  steps  at  the  entrance  of  the  choir. 
These  were  removed,  and  one  unbroken  level 
created  from  the  we»t  door  to  the  sacrarium. 
At  the  same  time  the  ascent  from  the  tran- 
eepta  to  tho  choir,  which  was  greater  from  the 
north  transept  than  from  the  south,  was  con- 
verted into  an  inclined  plane.  The  old  pulpit, 
quaintly  sarmounted  by  an  ogee  canopy  sup- 
ported by  a  spreading  palm  tree,  with  less  regret. 
went  the  way  of  many  other  once  much  admired 
and  costly  bits  of  church  famiture.  The  place 
of  the  pulpit  was  also  changed  from  the  north- 
west to  the  northeast  comer  of  the  crouing.  In 
*>*rt'd  lime  it  stood  at  the  end  of  the  stalls  on  the 


^ 


south  side,  with  the  picture  of  Kichard  It.  bang- 
ing in  the  contiguous  stall,  woiu  acd  frayed  by 
the  heads  and  wigs  of  saccessive  Lord  Chancellors, 
to  whom  that  particular  stall  was  by  custom 
allotted  when  the  HouEe  of  Lords  attended  the 
Abbey  services.  The  present  pnlpit  is,  I  believe. 
Sir  G.  G.  Scott's  work.  His  also  vere  ifae  light 
open  iron  screens  dividing  the  trsngepts  from 
the  crossing,  hastily  removed  by  the  late  dean  in 
l87U,the  very  evening  before  tome  gnalfunotion — 
I  believe  an  (ptsconal  consecrntioi: — snd  unhappily 
never  replaced,  rlcott  also  m:ido  many  minor 
alterations  in  conmxion  with  the  choir  or  sucra- 
rium,  under  the  inspiration  of  the  late  dean.  As 
Dean  Stanley  was  ignorant  of  architecture  and  care- 
less or  contemptuous  of  ritual,  these  changes  were 
not  always  for  the  better.  Blore'a  hnge  ponderoos 
organ  screen  greatly  exercised  Sir  Gilbert's  mind, 
as  it  now  does  Mr.  Pearson's.  Mr.  PcaiEon  is,  I 
believe,  desirous  of  reducing  the  depth  of  the 
screen  very  oonsiderably,  so  ss  to  lengthen  the  choir, 
and  to  open  it  as  at  Cliester  sod  Winchester,  and 
I  may  add  Durham,  cdaiittiug  a  view  of  the 
choir  from  the  nave.  This  measure  would  te 
hardly  practicable  with  the  existing  screen.  At 
any  rate,  Newton's  and  Stanhope's  moDumenta 
would  hare  to  go.  The  very  mention  of  this,  to 
him,  piece  of  sacrilege,  against  which  he  always 
vehemently  protested,  would  be  almost  euougb 
to  make  Dean  Stanley  turn  iu  his  grave.  Gut,  as 
I  have  said,  no  funds  are  as  yet  available  for  in- 
terior work,  and  the  screen  is  bo  far  safe.  It  is 
f;ir  better  than  the  same  architect's  screen  at 
Peterborough,  now  removed— never,  I  hope,  to  bo 
erected  again.  Edmo'D  Venaoles.

Luke  tells  ns  that  He  was  baptized,  jnst  before  the 
commeDcomeDt  of  Uis  ministry)  in  the  nutuma 
A.D.  26  ;  for  thirty  years  must  have  intervei 
between  b.c.  5  and  a.d.  S6.  liui  there  in  in 
doubt  05  to  bow  lon^  the  ministry  lasted,  chielly 
on  account  of  the  doubt  whether  the  "  feaul  " 
mentioned  in  the  fifth  chapter  of  St.  John's  Gospel 
was  a  PassoTpr  or  not.  If  it  were,  three  Pasfiover* 
arc  mentioned  between  the  above  date  und  that  of 
the  crueiiixion,  and  the  ministry  hvuted  threo 
years  nod  a  Imlf.  If  it  were  not,  it  would  seeai 
thiit  only  two  such  PnsaoTers  occurred,  and  we  must 
limit  the  ministry  to  two  years  and  a  half.  This 
liitter  view,  in  itBelf  by  far  the  more  probable, 
is.  moreoYcr,  confirmed  by  other  considerations. 
In  the  year  a.u.  20  the  Fiisehal  fall  moon 
occurred  on  the  morning  of  April  17,  which  fell 
th:it  year  on  a  Sunday.  Now  the  crucilixion 
took  place  ou  n  Friday,  and  the  Passorer  was 
held  tlte  erening  before,  or  on  a  Thursday.  By 
the  Jeivish  way  of  reckoning,  the  Passover  woa 
kept  00  the  fourteenth  d:iy  of  the  moon  (or  ttom 
the  day  on  which  the  moon  was  Bup[wsed  to  be 
ncw^  which  would  not  necessarily  be  on  the  day 
of  the  full  moon,  but  frtqueotly  fell  on  the 
preceding ;    it  could    never,   however,    be 

so  much  as  three  days  before  the  day  of    

actuol  full  moon.  But  in  the  year  a.d.  89 
tlio  Paschal  full  moon  occurred  on  the  evening  of 
Thursday,  April  6,  so  that  the  cruci6xion  followed 
it  the  next  day,  on  Friday,  April  7,  and  the  fin^ 
Easter  Day  took  place  on  Sunday,  April  0.  Th 
sorry  to  diifer  from  Mr.  Clinton  on  the  point 
.ippears  to  me  to  be  little  less  than  certnia. 
nm  much  fturprised  to  see  that  Canon  Cook,  in  hU 
Introduction  to  the  Acts  of  the  Apostles,  in  the 
Sptaktr's  Commtntary^  accepts  a. p.  33  as  the  dat» 
of  the  resurrection  of  our  Lord  and  tho  com- 
mencement of  tho  Acta.  Can  the  learned  oeoOD 
have  overlooked  that  this  was  the  old 
founded  on  the  erroneous  notion  that  our

Januanr  lb.  I  have  been  down  with  the 
immensfl  throog  on  that  ftnniTcrsary  In  hoih  the 
la«t  two  jenrs,  and  bare  heard  many  lectures  on 
it  given  on  the  !ipot.  But  better  than  aending 
you  any  notice  of  it  from  my  own  memory  will 
be  to  briefly  rccapiiuIiUe  Ibe  Leads  of  a  work  on 
the  subject  by  Frof.  AnueUini,  who  has  had  the 
direction  of  tho  excarationa  in  search  of  it.  In 
the  first  and  second  chapters  of  the  first  part  he 
coUutea  various  paasages  in  early  MSS.  which  led 
to  the  search.  The  chief  of  these  occurs  in  a  lisit 
of  relics  taken  from  Komc  by  a  oortaia  abbate 
Giovanni  to  Theodolindo,  Queen  of  the  Lombards^ 
written  on  papyrus,  and  still  preserved  in  the 
treasury  of  the  cathedral  of  MonziL  Among  them 
was  oil  taken  from  the  lamps  of  various  shrines, 
and  one  of  these  oils  is  described  as  coming;  from 
the  "flede  ubi  prius  sedit  sc's  Petrus,"  the  parch- 
ment label  of  the  ampolla  containing  it  also  re- 
luainiog  with  the  wonls  "sedes  ubi  priaa  aedit 
Bc's  Petrus."  Thou^jh  this  had  long  been  vaguely 
Bt4>posed  to  refer  to  the  throne  in  SL  Peter's^  De 
Kosai  was  led  to  dwell  upon  tho  word  pritu,  and 
to  infer  that  it  relnted  to  an  earlier  one.  The 
chain  of  reasoning  and  of  evidence  by  which 
this  brought  him  to  the  catacomb  of  Ostrianua, 
and  why  the  catacomb  of  Sta.  Emerenziana  was 
Anciently  so  called,  are  also  set  forth.  His  con- 
clusions were  confirmed  by  the  epigraphs  that 
have  been  found  on  tho  spot  "lo  trovo,"  writes 
Be  Bosai,  "  molti  contemporanei  del  Flavi  e  di 
TisiftQO,  e  per  consequenza  la  data  ctrta  dell'  el^ 
apostolica,"  It  is  believed  that  this  cemetery  is 
connected  with  St.  Peter's  first  visit  to  Rome 
under  Claudius,  and  a  memorial  inscription,  sup- 
posed to  be  that  of  a  freedmnn  of  CMaudius  has 
actually  been  found.  Tho  remainder  of  the  second 
chapter  contains  a  succinct  account  of  tho  ways  in 
which  the  catacombs  served  for  the  gatherings  of 
the  faithful,  and  of  the  remarkable  peculiarity  of 
this  one,  that  it  has  several  chairs  cut  out  of  the 
living  rock,  one  of  which  is  c<'inftidered  to  be  that 
referred  to  by  the  Abbate  Giovanni. 

The  third  chapter  gives  an  historical  account  of 
the  cemetery  of  Sta.  Knierenziana,  and  collates  the 
traditions  which  considered  it  the  place  n6»  Petrxis 

Chapter  i.  of  the  second  part  gives  a  descrip- 
tion, assisted  by  a  ground  plan,  of  the  so- 
called  (subterranean)  basilica  of  Sta.  Emerenziana 
contiguous  to  the  crypt  of  the  c^fUdraf  and  ex- 
plains (the  tourial's  stumbling-block)  why  the 
•ftst  part  of  a  Roman  church  is  called  a  "  tribuna" 
— namely,  because  in  carrying  out  the  basilica 
form  of  the  building,  this  was  the  place  of  the 
"  tribunal "  or  raised  plutfonn  where  the  cnrule 
cllaira  of  the  judges  were  disposed,  and  whence 
jn»tioe  was  aJuiiotaterod.  The  next  two  chnpters 
dcfcribe  tho  diirerent  stages  by  which  aomelhiug 
like  a  certainty  as  to  tho  identity  of  the  otooe 


chair  in  the  crypt  of  Sta.  Emerenziana  was  rcAched, 
with  the  very  atone  slab  on  which,  it  is  supposed, 
burnt  the  lamp  whence  Ahbntc*  Giovanni  took  the 
oil  recorded  at  Monza.  More  than  this,  some  wordf 
remaining  of  an  inscription  have  with  immense 

difficulty  been  made  out  to  be" cEmerentiane  * 

and  "Sane  Pet";  from  which  the  *pot  is  at  one 
identified  as  the  burial-place  of  that  saint,  th^ 
acts  of  whoae  martyrdom  declared  her  to  have  becti 
buried  at  tho  place  where  St.  Peter  baptized — ad 
NymplMi  B.  Petri,

plates  other  inscriptions,  ornaments,  and  details 
of  great  interesL  VL  H.  BcsE. 

EQrESTRiAN  Figches  oy  Ri doe-Tiles. —Some 
time  since  I  opened  in  the  columns  of  the  IVtUem 
Antiquary  an  investigation  respecting  the  existence 
of  sundry  curious  e€[ae8trian  figures  upon  tho 
ridge-tiles  of  bouses  in  varions  towns  in  Devon* 
shire  and  CornwalL  I  was  led  thereto  by  be- 
coming possessed  (.-IS  public  )ihr.irian  of  Pijrmonth) 
of  a  very  good  specimen  of  these  tiles,  which  haa 
been  removed  from  the  roof  of  a  fine  old  house  in 
High  Street,  Plymouth,  one  of  the  oldest  streets 
in  tho  town— a  house  close  to  the  Palace  Court, 
renowned  as  being  the  somewbile  residence  of 
KatherineofArragOD- which,  together  with  Palace 
Court  aud  its  neighbouring  dwelling!>,  has  been 
removed  for  the  erection  on  the  site  of  a  Board 
school.  The  tile  is  of  the  corrugated  pattern,  and 
the  equestrian  figure,  very  coughly  modelled,  re* 
presents  a  nmn  in  a  coatuuie  ibat  may  have  been 
mtended  for  a  cavalier.  Buth  man  and  horse  are 
roughly  made,  and  somewhat  the  worse  for  their 
two  or  throe  centuries  exposure  to  wind  and  rain. 
So  far  as  I  can  discover  this  was  the  hist  !ipccim'>Q 
of  this  "  high  art "  left  in  Plymouth,  althoii^'h  I 
have  been  informed  of  the  whereabouts  of  one  or 
two  more  in  different  parts  of  the  town  by  old  in- 
habitants. Subsequent  inquiries  have  led  to  tho 
discovery  of  similar  tiles  in  Exeter,  Tavistock, 
Totnes,  Plympton,  East  and  West  Looe,  and  one 
or  two  other  places.  At  Exeter  the  figure  is  a  very- 
noticeable  object  on  a  fine  old  house  in  the  main 
Btreet,at  Plympton  it  ia  on  a  roof  nearlyoppoaitethe 
ancient  GuUdhall,  whilst  at  Looe  they  are  in  out« 
of-the-way  places.  At  Totnes,  in  addition  to  speci- 
mens  on  the  roofs  of  houses,  Mr.  E.  Windeatt 
recently  sent  me  photographs  of  a  tile,  in  the 
session  of  a  gentleman  in  that  town,  whii^h 
never,  to  all  appearance,  been  placed  on  a  roof, 
is  in  perfect  condition,  and  is  supposed  to  he 
local  mnnufiicture,  a  pottery  having  •y^^^J, 
Bridgetown,  Totnes,  for  many  years, 
in  giving  these  particulars  is  to  endeal

Tradition  has  it  that  they  were  placed  upon  houses 
in  which  one  of  the  Charleses  was  entertained  dur- 
ing his  visit  to  the  West.  Another  theory  is  to  the 
«ffect  that  they  signified  houses  of  entertainment 
for  man  and  heast  I  might  still  further  enhirge 
upon  this  interesting  topic,  hut  forbear,  knowing 
the  value  of  your  spnce.  Will  yourcorrespondcnts, 
therefore,  kindly  look  nloft  at  the  crests  of  the  roofs 
in  their  several  localities,  and  cnmmunicnte  to  you 
the  results  of  their  aerial  investigations?  I  am 
curious  to  know  if  these  ornamentation  a  are  known 
•outside  the  two  western  counties.  I  may  add,  that 
I  have  caused  blocks  to  he  cut  to  illustrate  all  the

ScLEM. — I  have  been  so  long  familiar  with  the 
patois  of  the  Herefordshire  border  of  Wales,  that 
X  was  surprised  a  short  time  ago  to  find  myself 
ignorant  of  this  word,  which  is  used,  it  nppean, 
to  describe  a  thievish  propensity  in  cat  or  dog. 
"  That  cat 's  a  sclem."  It  is  evidently  the  $ktllufn 
of  Johnson,  who  makes  it  synonymous  with  villain 
or  scoundrel.  I  cannot  now  tell  where  to  refer  to 
a  transaction  in  the  civil  war  in  South  Wales,  in 
which  a  certain  Capt.  Davis,  who  had  been  guilty 
of  some  dishonouraole  practice,  was  ordered  to  be 
proclaimed,  if  I  recollect  aright,  "villain, rogue,  and 
tkelhim";  in  consequence  of  which  he  was  after- 
wards known  by  the  sobriquet  of  Skellum  Davis ; 
but  I  remember  my  amusement  at  finding  that  the 
modern  editor  of  a  contemporary  MS.  had  been  so 
puzzled  by  the  term  as  to  suggest  '*  St.  Kenelm 
Davis  "  as  a  possible  explanation  of  it.

A  nosFiTABi.E  Custom. — On  Tuesday,  Feb- 
ruary 27,  a  pleasant  custom  was  followed  on  the 
occasion  of  a  new  tenant  Uking  a  farm  at  Borras, 
near  Wrexham.  It  appears  that  when  a  new 
tenant  enters  into  possession,  the  farmers  in  the 
district  give  a  day'rf  ploughing  as  a  mark  of  wel- 
come and  good  fellowship.  Kineteen  gentlemen 
acceded  to  the  custom  by  sending  twenty-five 
teams.     The  custom  may  exist  elsewhere.

Heraldic  :  a  ** Jobsrlyn."— The  device  cbar;red 
npon  the  coat  of  arms  of  the  Josseiyn  or  Jocelyn 
family  is,  A  circular  wreath,  argent  iind  sable,  with 
four  hawkV  l>ell9  joined  thereto  in  qtiadratLire  or, 
and  if),  I  believe,  unique  as  an  heraldic  device.  I 
notice  that  in  the  description  of  the  arms  appended 
to  the  Josselyn  pedigree  No.  3,  given  in  tiarl.  Soc.

HureHcld  Clinrch,  Middlesex,  are  his  arms  mar- 
shalled wiLh  those  of  his  two  wives  in  a  manner 
which  is,  1  think,  peculi;ir.  The  shield  is  divided 
into  three  jwrts  per  piilc.  In  the  centre  is  the  coat 
of  Newdegate,  Gules,  three  lions'  ^.iiiibs  erased,  2, 1,

Stiutford  Fauivt. — Three  branchea  of  thia 
fiunilv',  settled  at  Farnicote,  Hawlinf^,  and  Temple 
Gujting,  in  Gloucestershire,  derived  their  descent 
from  three  sons  of  John  Stmtford  (who  died  1660) 
by  his  wife  Margaret,  daughter  of  William  Tracy 
01  Todington.  Another  branch,  bearing  the  same 
arma,  Ketlled  at  Nuneaton  and  Analey,  in  War- 
wickablre,  at  the  close  of  the  sixteenth  century. 
I  shall  be  glad  to  be  informed  if  the  connexion  of 
the  "Warwickshire  with  the  Gloucestershire  family 
can  be  traced.  From  the  fact  of  two  members  of 
the  Tracy  fiiiuily  being  mentioned  in  the  will  of 
Robert  Stratford,  who  first  acquired  theWarwick- 
flbire  hinds,  and  who  died  in  1615,  it  seems  pro- 
b&ble  that  he  was  a  descendant  (grandson  0  of 
the  marriage  with  Margaret  Tracy  above  men- 
tioned. I  shall  also  be  gl:id  of  any  information 
respecting  the  later  descendants  of  the  Temple 
Crafting  btrntfords.  At  the  Heralds'  Visitation  of 
Gloucestershire  in  1682  George  Stratford  was 
head  of  this  branch.  He  died  in  1701,  leaving 
two  sons  and  two  daughters.  Anthony,  the  eldest 
SOD,  born  abont  1676,  was  living  in  Jamaica  iu 
1722,  and  is  said  to  h:ire  died  in  Virginia.  Ciin

Cramp  as  an  Adjectivx.— In  bis  L\/$  of 
Cooji€r  (vol.  i.  chap,  jcii.)  Southey  uses  cramp  as 
an  adjective,  where  a  writer  of  the  preunt  day 
would  use  crampedf  or  some  equivalent  expres- 
sion. Speaking  of  tho  later  Elizabethan  poetry  of 
conceits,  he  remarks  :  '*The  poet  found  difficulty 
enough  in  rendering  his  farfetched  and  elaborate 
conceits  intelligible  ;  and  cramp  thoughts  formed 
for  themselves  cramp  expressions  and  disjointed 
verae.''     Was  this  ever  a  common  use  of  the  word  1

TUB  FR^TIVAL  OF  THE  I'OPE'3  CHAIR. 
(eU'S.  Tiu47,72,  90,  110,  161.) 
Thii  Buhject  is  one  which  wfw  suro  »o  elicit  not 
only  a  great  lunount  of  intcro«t  but  Mso  n  stronfi 
feefin«.  This  has  been  Been  in  the  itioe  replies 
which  bare  poured  in.  As  luine  hiippened  to  be 
first  in  the  field,  may  I  be  permitted  to  resume 
the  rarious  points  thut  hiivc  been  mi&ed  up  to  the 
present  time  1 

I  h;i»e  now  (by  the  kind  courtesy  of  H.  C.  C.) 
Ijad  the  opportunity  of  seeing  the  monogmph 
mentioned  by  him  (ante,  p.  Ul),  und  of  which 
Mr.  Nk8b:tt  haa  iince  supplied  the  readers  of 
••  N.  &  Q."  with  n  iumnmry.  I  Lave  gone  ihrouwh 
it  rery  carefully,  and  though  the  Society  of  Ami- 
qaaricB  has  by  the  beauty  of  the  edition  tniirked 
its  sense  of  the  importance  of  the  subject,  I  am 
sorry  I  cnnnot  subscribe  to  the  opinion  thut  it  is 
**  the  Inst  word  "  on  the  subject. 

In  the  first  pUoe  I  think  it  is  clear  lo  the  care- 
ful reader  that  the  author  has  not  himself  examined 
the  carvings,*  nor  even  had  the  chance  of  seeing 
the  chair  at  all.  All  he  say^,  therefore,  is  but 
conjecture  founded  on  P.  Garrucci  and  Com- 
ineudatore  De  Rossi's  conjectures  ;  nnd  both  these 
tell  us  that  their  conjectures  were  founded  on  ob?er- 
Tatious  obtained  under  circumstances  that  made 
inveetigatioQ  difficult^  This  w:i»  i»n  tlie  oceision 
of  the  eighteenth  centenary  of  St.  Peter  in  18G7,f 
which  Mil.  NasDixr  persistently  calls  1866,  not 
only  in  his  replies  but  in  the  monograph  itself, 
where  the  inaccuracy  is  the  more  strange  seeing  it 
was  published  within  two  or  three  years  of  the 
event.  The  concourse  surrounding  the  chair  dur- 
ing the  whole  eleven  days  was  immense,  and  P. 
Garrucci  tells  us  he  could  only  approach  to  ex- 
amine the  carvings  (which  should  huvehad  minute 
ttudy)  once  after  the  church  ruia  closed  for  the 
night.  The  language  of  his  remarks  shows  that 
they  were  very  hastily  penned. 

What  now  is  the  outcome  of  these  said  conjee- 
tarM  1     In  the  ui:iin  it  is  timply  thii<,  that  the  two 


noted  Roman  archieologist**  who  have  «e*n  the 
chiiir  declare  themselves— after  exninining  it  fqfa 
the  express  purposet — of  opinion  tlmt  the  ceroal^l 
of  the  ancient  chair  have  been  worked  into  i^M 
newer  one,  and  thut  Mr.  Nksbitt,  who  has  no- 
thing to  guide  him  but  ihcir  opinion  and  some  i^^ 
perfect  drawings  .tnd  photographs,  has  luboQI^I 
hard  to  miike  out  that  it  is  not  so.  ^| 

So  much  for  the  structure  of  the  chittr.     When 

we  come  to  the  qucfltinn  of  decoration  the  8u^•ject 

gets  more  complicated.     The  orlginul   j:ronnd  of 

attack  on  the  chair  wna  that,  it  hnviitg  "  unluckily 

been  discovered  "   that   it  had  been   adorned  iu 

pagan  times  with  pngin  subjects,  it  had  leco  put 

out  of  sight    in    dt^gnife.      Now   tha    troOldjH 

shifted  ;  it  is  conceded  that  Iht  Gh  irch  did  ^M 

diBd:iLD  to  use  a  fine  work  of  art  fur  a  decormtffP 

purpose    without   regard    to  symbolism  ;  but  the 

point  sought   uow  to    be  established  is  thut  lh» 

carving  is  late  work,  therefor©  the  chair  is   not 

ancient.     How,  then,  is  the  date  of  the  carvings  to 

be  decided  ?    This  is  further  complicated  by  iheif 

being  supposed  to  be  of  two  distinct  dates.     At 

the     same    lime,     however,    as    Ihe    rectangular 

medallions  are  supposed  by  all  not  to  have   beea 

origin.ally  made  for  the  chair,  it  matters  h 

what  date  ihejf  werp  put  on   to  adorn  it  (unl 

indeed,  they  should  be  proved  to  be  works  of 

firat  century,  which  would  settle  the  mailer). 

it  is  the  strips  of  scroll  work,  which  are  said 

coeval  with  the  main  structure  of  thecliflir,  i 

nre  expected  to  give  the  more  distinct  clue  to' 

d.ite.     Padre  G:irrucci's  inconvenient  survey 

him  to  exclaim  excitedly,  on  observing  the 

half-fignro  of  a  man  in  the  central  scroll,  ihi 

represented  Charlemagne.     After  that  it  occi 

to  him  th:il  it  was  more  like  Churlea  the  Bald^j 

he  accordingly  concluded  that  the  carving 

that  date.     This  cotijecturo  is  eagerly  Keiased 

by  Mk.  K^:9BITr,  and  improved  into  the  slat* 

(hat  Garrucci  was  strongly  of  opinion  that  the 

was  made  for  Charles  the  Bald's  coronation,  wit!

TiiE  Harleian  LiBRART  {6""  S.  vii.  150).— The 
Harley  fLitnily  have  alwuys  been  noted  fur  tbeir 
love  of  books.  Sir  Robert  Harley,  whose  bouse  at 
Cranipton  voi  beaieged  and  burnt  in  1043,  then 
lost  "  an  cxtTaordianry  library  of  miiDUacripl  and 
printed  booke,  which  had  been  collected  from  one 
descent  to  naotber."  Hia  graDdsoo,  Mr.  Robert 
Harley,  who  became  Speaker  in  1701.  Secretary  of 
State  in  1701,  Chancellor  of  the   Kxcbeiiuer  in 

1710.  Earl  of  Oxford  and   Earl  of  Mortimer  in 

1711,  and  was  then  appointed  Lord  High  Treasurer, 
was  the  founder  of  what  ia  commonly  called  the 
Harleian  Library.  Hia  first  considerable  purchase 
of  books  w;is  made  in  17u5.  In  1714  that  most 
worthy  bibliographer  Uumfrey  W'anley  became  bis 
librarian,  and  the  journal  which  he  kept  illustratinfij 
Ihe  growth  of  the  earl's  library  la  full  of  interest, 
even  to  those  who  do  not  cUim  to  be  called  biblio- 
Ijhiles.  At  the  present  lime,  when  the  great 
bunderland  Library  ia  being  dispersed,  it  is  curious 
to  read  Wanley's  accouot  of  Mr.  Voillant'a  pur- 
■chasB  of  the  1472  Virgil  for  Lord  Sunderland  at 
Mr.  Freebaim'a  sale  for  4G/.,  when  Mr.  Vaillant 
"hnzsa'd  out  alone!,  and  threw  up  his  hat  for  joy!" 
The  Earl  of  Oxford  died  in  1724,  and  left  one  of 
ihe  finest  libraries  in  England.  It  is  said  that  he 
bad  a  personal  knowledge  of  all  hia  books,  and 
knew  where  to  find  any  volume  without  loss  of 
time.  His  successor,  Edward  Harley,  the  second 
Earl  of  Oxford,  inherited  the  library  and  also  hia 
father's  love  for  literature.  He  spared  no  money 
io  the  purchase  of  rare  books,  and,  in  fact,  seriously 
diminished  hia  property  by  his  investments  in 
books.  In  particular,  be  collected  old  MSS., 
oharters,  records,  state  papers,  and  letters  where- 
cyor  he  could  procure  them  ;  and  at  the  time  of 
his  death,  which  took  place  at  his  house  in  Dover 
Street  in  1741,  at  the  early  age  of  forty-two,  he 
liad  probably  the  finest  private  library  in  England, 
The  title  went  to  his  cousin,  Edward  Harley,  the 
third  Earl  of  Oxford,  but  the  collections  which  he 
and  bis  father  had  made  were  sold.  The  pictures 
and  ooina  were  sold  by  public  auction  in  March, 
1742 ;  the  library  of  printed  books  was  sold  entire 
to  ThomAB  Oiborne,  of  Gray's  Inn,  "to  the  in- 
delible disgrace  of  the  countrv,"  as  William  Oldys 
■aid,  for  13,000J.,  not  a  quarter  of  what  the  bind- 


ing alone  had  coat,  whiUt  the  MSS.  were,  for  a 
lime,  retained  by  the  countess,  but  purchased  from 
her  for  the  nation, at  the  price  of  10,0iK}2 ,  in  17&4. 
The  Harleian  Library,  therefore,  though  foaoded 
by  the  first  earl,  was,  in  fact,  collected  by  him  asd 
his  son,  the  second  earl,  and  was  dispersed  afUftf 
the  death  of  the  latter  by  the  bookseller  Osborne. 
There  is  often  confusion  made  in  reference  to  the 
Harleian  collection  by  not  bearing  in  mind  that 
there  were  three  distinct  things,  the  library  of 
printed  books,  the  catalogue  of  which  w.as  super- 
intended by  Dr.  Johnson  when  Osborne  sold  it ; 
the  collection  of  MSS.,  purchased  for  the  nation 
and  DOW  in  the  British  Museum  ;  and  the  collec- 
tion of  reprints  of  rare  old  pamphlets,  selected  fnua 
amongst  the  printed  books  which  Osborne 
bought,  and  published  by  him  under  the  til 
the  Uarleian  MuciUany  in  1744- G.

lUphael  Yardley  mentioned  at  the  lost  refei 
was  of  Aucote,  co.  Warwick,  and  a  member  o| 
old  fumily  seated  at  Sutton  Coldfield,  of  whii 
t>edigree  will  be  found  in  the  Warwickshire 
tation  of  1619,  He  was  the  second  son  of  Tb< 
Yardley  by  Alice,  daughter  of  William  Gibl 
of  Sutton.  He  married  Amicia,  or  Amy,  daugh* 
ter  of  John  Harman,  of  Moor  Hall,  and  had,  with 
other  issue,  a  daughter  Slbilla,  married  to  ^w 
land  Greiabrooke,  of  Shenstone,  co.  Stafford,  gcoL, 
"  Sonne  and  heiro  apparent "  of  Robert  Greiabrooke 
of  the  same  place,  gent.  Their  marriage  settle- 
ment is  dated  February  2,  40  Elizabeth,  1508, 
and  the  marriage  is  recorded  in  the  Shenatono 
pariah  registers.  Yardley's  will  is  dated  Nov. 
1014,  and  was  proved  at  Lichfield  in  June,  1( 
In  it  he  merely  mentions  hia  wife"Amye^^, 
his  "children."  I  have  not  as  yet  been  abl^ 
ascertain  the  names  of  his  other  children. 

Sanders,  in  his  lIi$iory  of  Sfuiutone,  refers 
family  of  Yardley  as  being  "*  of  long  staDding] 
that  parish  (Sbenstooe  adjoins  Sutton  Coldli^ 
He  notices  the  marriage  of  Isabel  {sic)  Yardlej 
1598  to  Rowland  Greiabrooke,  and  states  that  nit ' 
Edward  Yardley  possessed  an  estate  at  Wood«al 
in  1646.  This  Edward,  he  adds,  seems  to 
had  issue  a  son  John,  who,  for  himself  and 
paid  Si.  poll  tax  in  1692,  and  by  Etia 
wife  had  a  son  John,  born  in  1685.  "  Tbi 
he  says,  ''to  have  taken  their  name  from 
in  Worcestershire,  near  Birmingham " ;  ant 
adds  that  they  were  **  long  seated  at  Kei

At  CalcottjCO.  Cheater,  was  seated  another  branch

Hnrl.  MS. 2187, fo.  141) from  Thonuis.  "brother  to 
Oliver  YardJey,  of  Yardley,  f  pe  H.  6."  They  bore 
the  same  <]iiartered  arms  as  Yvdley  of  Yardley, 
with  the  additional  quarterings  of  Caleait  And  Dod. 
From  Thomas,  second  son  of  John  Yardley  of

Cheshire,  of  which  a  pedigree  will  be  found  in 
Add.  MS.  (British  Museum)  5&29,  fo.  75b. 

The  Staffordshire  Yardleys  did  not  record  a  pedi- 
gree at  the  next  Visitation,  tn  1614— at  least  I  do 
not  find  one  in  the  Harl.  >IS.  1430— but  the  name 
of  "  Rulfe  Yardley  do  Yardley  "  appears  in  the  list 
of  those  summoned.  In  1CG4,  however,  a  family 
of  the  name  seems  to  have  appeared  at  Dugdale's 
Visitation,  for  I  God  in  Harl.  MS.  G104  a  pedigree 
coumieucing  with  Christopher  Yardley,  who,  by 
ibe  dniiijhter  of  Edward  Aston,  of  Tixsll,  had 
issne  K'lward,  whose  son  Christopher  married 
Catherine,  daughter  of  Peter  Mlnshull,  and  had  a 
son  Christopher,  aged  seven  ia  1661.  No  arms 
Are  attached  to  this  pedigree,  nor  is  any  residence 
•t»f<^. 

The  pedigree  of  the  Sutton  Coldfield  Yardleys 
terinioates  with  a  Christopher,  aged  one  year  in 
ICIO;  nndin  1661  there  was  a  Christopher  Yardley, 
**  E<q  ,'*  of  Greenwich.  In  that  year  his  daughter 
Blizibcth  was  married  at  St.  Dioois  Backchurcb 
to  Sir  George  Blundell,  of  Cardington.  Beds. 
Con«uIt  also  Col.  Chester's  lUguitrt  of  Wittmin'

Tax  CooMHH  Mela  at  Allahabad  (6**  S. 
rii.  23,  02).— This  fair  is  held  at  the  conBuence 
of  the  Ganges  and  Jumna  at  the  time  stated,  but 
it  must  be  remembered  that  not  two  but  three 
rivers  are  believed  by  the  Hindoos  to  unite  their 
sacred  waters  at  the  Tirveaa  or  Tirbanee  ("  the 
three  plaited  locks  of  hair  "),  of  Tirth-raj  ('*  the 
chief  of  the  places  of  pilgrimage  ")  aa  Allahabad 
is  called  by  them.  The  Tirbanee  to  the  uninitiated 
is  situated  at  the  junction  of  the  Gunga  and  the 
Yamuna,  but  the  Brahmans  assert  that  the  Sans- 
watee  joins  them  from  below,  and  that  these  god- 
deaaes  unite  their  locks  to  form  the  plait  which, 
known  to  unbelievers  as  the  Ganges,  reaches  to 
the  ocean.  Dying  at  the  Tirbanee  the  Hindoo 
attains  immediate  beatitude ;  living  he  bathes 
is  regenerated.  Suttee,  therefore,  waa

should  be  rpelt,  I  think,  without  an  r,  although 
pronounced  as  a  Irinylluble.  These  terminations

ferences I  distinctly  disclaimed  having  a  theory 
vhich  satisfied  myself  about  the  etymology  of 
ihia  word,  and  I  expressed  the  hope  that  some 
one  would  be  able  to  give  us  a  satisfactory  "  Eng- 
lish origin  for  the  word,  which  has  never  been 
nscd  oat  of  England,"  as  applied  to  the  game. 
Id  this  hope  I  have  hitherto  been  disappointed  ; 
but  it  is  rather  hard  to  be  now  told  by  J.  D.  that 
bis  "argument  may  not  seem  satisfactory"  to  me 
because  "  I  have,  he  believes,  a  theory  of  roy  own 
to  support."  That  snggeslioa  la  indeed  entirely 
unfounded,  as  I  have  here  shown. 

I  am  ghui  to  have  the  high  authority  of  Puor. 
Skeat  in  Rupportof  the  statement  that  Ihefonu  tatit

I  fence  and  tfuis  (if  it  existed)  would  hare  p]

I  nm  unwillinE!  to  retura  to  the  controversy 
about  the  word  tenni$;  but  ns  Prof.  Skcat  has 
nmde  Rome  misleading  statements  with  reg:ird  to 
myself,  I  be^  leave  to  ofll'r  some  remarks  in  reply. 

Ife  stairs  ihnt  an  example  of  the  form  fmii  has 
not  been  jjivrn.  Was  he  dreaming  when  he  wrote 
this?  I  staled  distinctly  in  a  former  cotnmnnioi' 
tion  where  it  was  to  be  found,  and  where  Pi 
Skkat  might  hnvc  found  it  if  he  had  had  sulfii 
knowledge  of  the  fubjcct  on  which  he  wrileV 
ftaid  that  it  did  not  appear  in  the  Anglo-Noi 
as  this  language  has  cumo  down  to  U-s  exoepi 
the  form  of  tev^on  or  tniwn^  Lut  that  this  implied 
an  older  Un^  or  ttme.    So  says  Burguy:  *'  Tt 

dispute d<Sr.   tertaon,  ianfon,   (<nfjn,  Um~ 

{Olott.  dt  la  Langiie  d'Oil,  t.v.  "Tenser"). 

In  the  work  to  which  I  referred  the  forui  ienU

meaning  being  that  of  beating  to  and  fro.  (1)

reunit  les  deux  significations,  corroyer  lea

the  Sanskrit  Art-fA,  which  means  to  titrike  or 
to  and  fro,  and  oUo  to  weary,  to  vex.      It  is 
fectly  certain,   therefore,  that   the   word   <««l 
derived  from   the  verb  (ctkt,  and  that  this 
(1)  to  tan,  (2)  to  beat  to  and  fro,  and  (3)  to 
to   vex.     Cotgrave  has  "  Taner,  to  tan  ;

name  of  the  boy,  who  appean,  in  the  pedigree  i 
before  me,  to  have  been  named  after  bis  grand- 1 
father,  Arthur  Upton,  of  Lupton.  The  second  aon 
is  culled  John,  but  perhaps  there  were  other  sons 
uFter  1620,  in  which  case  most  probably  one  would 
be  called  Anthony,  after  his  maternal  grandfather. 
The  pedigree  of  Upton  in  this  Visitution  is  one 
of  fifteen  {generations,  and,  as  I  have  the  book  by 
me  only  for  a  short  lime,  t  have  copied  out  the 
Upton  pedigree,  and  shall  be  happy  to  send  it  to 
Li^c  if  it  is  likely  to  be  of  use  in  his  search. 

Burke's  Landed  Oenfry  of  18G2  mentions, under 
''Upton  of  Ingmire  Hall,"  that  the  original  pedi- 
gree of  the  family  exists  in  that  place,  and  ailds 
that  Arthur  Upton,  who  married  Gertrude  For- 
tescue,  is  the  elder  brother  of  the  Chevalier  John 
Upton,  Knt.  of  Malta  (see  I'llistoire  dt  VOrdre  di 
Ji^aHCf  Vertot,  torn.  iii.  p.  261,  ed.  de  Paris,  4to.); 
but  Burke  s»rs  that  Joan  Raleigh,  wife  of  John 
Upton,  of  Lupton,  was  daughter  and  heir  of  Sir 
AVincomb  Tlaleigh,  Knt.  The  pedigree  in  the  Visi- 
tation of  1G20  that  I  have  copied  says  she  is 
dauijliler  of  IVymond  Ualeigh,  and  not  heir,  and 
is  probably  right,  as  the  Uptons  do  not  quarter 
KaieiKh,  as  they  would  do  hud  she  been  an  heiress. 
Burke  then  gives  John  as  eldest  son  of  Arthur, 
and  other  sons.  This  John  is  the  one  who  married 
Dorothy  Kousj  and  Burke  says  had  seven  sons  and 
six  daughters.  Here  in  whcro  the  pedij^ree  I  have 
<juoted  ends,  with  Arthur,  son  and  heir,  at.  six  in 
1620  ;  but  a  third  son,  named  by  Burke  as  Am- 
brose, is  ancestor  of  the  Uptons  of  Glyde  Court, 
CO.  liouth  ;  and  one  of  the  other  Heven  sons  not 
mentioned  in  Burke  may  be  Anthony  Upton,  of 
Cadiz. 

Ambrose,  third  son  of  John  nnd  Dorothy, 
was  rector  of  Kilneebay,  Kilrush,  and  Killinnr, 
and  married  Anna,  daughter  of  B.  Whitney.  Esq 
He  died  in  1752,  leaving  three  sons,  Francis,  Am- 
brose, and  Christopher  Henry,  the  third  of  whom 
is  ancestor  of  the  present  family  of  Clyde  Court.

John  Upton,  who  was  living  in  1020,  was  suc- 
ceeded by  his  son  Arthur  ;  and  it  is  this  Arthur, 
according  to  Burke's  (?ommonirs  (vol.  iv.,  $.  v.  "Up- 
ton, of  Ingnjiro  Hall "),  who  was  aged  six  in  1620. 
There  is  no  mention  in  the  lineage  of  any  Anthony 
or  Ambrose  Upton  ;  but  if  any  part  of  the  pedigree 
would  be  of  use  to  Lac,  I  shall  have  pleasure  in 
transcribing  it  for  him.  Hirondblle. 

Surrender  bt  a  Straw  (6'^  S.  vi.  534).—

The  straw  is  affixed  to  the  top  of  the  poper  on 
which  tb«  form  of  sarrender  ia  wrltt«D,  and  the 


tenant  surrendering  holds  the  straw  by  the  natural 
knot  in  the  middle  of  it,  for  a  straw  haTing  tuch 
a  knot  is  always  chosen.  The  new  tenanb  receiret 
possession  by  taking  bold  of  one  end  of  a  rod 
offered  to  him  by  the  deputy  steward.  In  pnctiee 
this  rod  is  an  office  ruler.  W.  O.  It.

31S  OF  THE  LOCALITIES  IN  ENGLAND 
MENTIONED  BY  CHAUCER.* 
been  anggestcd  to  me  that  an  examina- 
the  lonlity  of  Buob  Eogtisk  toima  and 
tB  are  meDtioDed  by  Chaac«r  might  famish 
deace  as  to  the  coanty  from  vhich  bia 
igrated  to  London — evidence  which  (how- 
erfeot)  would  be  welcome  in  the  nbaence 
tr  clue  to  the  fact.  The  results  at  which 
rrired  are  almost  entirely  negative,  and  I 
BMrd  thorn  lest  some  other  investigator 
0  over  the  ground  again  with  similar  lack 

Hnaral  notion  upon  which  sttch  an  inquiry 
rests  on  the  tendency  of  our  minds  to 
familiar  in  preference  to  unfamiliar  phkcea, 
the  iroprcsaion  so  often  produced  upon 
hUdren  by  the  accounts  which  they  bear 
era  give  of  the  scenes  among  which  their 
d  bu  been  passed.  If  to  this  we  add  the 
sning  effect  of  actual  visits  to  relutiona 
diog  near  the  old  homeBtond,  we  can  well 
tud  how  it  is  that  local  knowledge,  pro- 
dialect,  and,  abovo  all,  local  names  cling 
itently  to  the  style  of  many  men  whose 


rtaccs  are  to  volume  and  page  of  the  Aldioe 


m.ain  life's  work  may  nererthelees  bare  been  per- 
formed in  a  metropolis.  We  should  imagine  that 
thia  tendency  would  show  itself  markedly  in  a 
poet  who  wrote  aa  many  thouaand  lines  aa  Chancer 
didL,  and  yet  we  shall  find  that  such  an  imaginatioa 
would  only  deceive  uf. 

Two  reasons  occur  to  me  for  tbis  diasppotnt- 
ment  The  first  consists  in  the  catholicity  of 
Cbanoer's  genius,  which  was  too  broad  in  spirit  to 
bo  bounded  by  any  local  preferences  or  jealousies; 
the  second  reason  appeaza  to  me  to  Ue  in  the  spirit 
of  the  age.  Nowadaya,  with  EagUnd'a  unity  an 
accompliuied  fact,  we  may  pride  ourselves  on  the 
faint  traces  of  provincial  distinctions  which  we 
imagine  are  still  diicernible  in  our  speech  or  cus- 
toms. We  may  dub  ourselves  East  AngUans  or 
Devonians,  hold  Eisteddfodds,  or  (if  competent) 
laboriouBly  preach  sermons  in  Gaelic,  with  more 
than  impunity.  The  rods  that  make  up  the  fasets 
of  England's  greatness  are  none  the  looser  for  snch 
child-like  fingerings  on  our  part,  each  of  his  own 
favourite  twig.  Bat  when  those  wands  were  aa 
yot  scattered  and  onboand,  the  ideal  before  men*d 
eyes  was  the  one  united  England  which  did  not 
then  exist  To  the  statesmen  of  the  Plantageneta, 
to  the  kings  and  leaders  of  men  with  whom  Chancer 
associated,  the  proud  local  patriotism  of  to-day, 
with  its  exaltation  of  one  section  over  its*  neigh- 
hour,  would  have  been  detestable,  and  any  oat- 
ward  manifestation  of  it  felt  to  be  a  thing  to  be 
avoided. 

Leaving  such  general  cooaideratione,  let  ns  pro- 
ceed to  extract  a  list  of  all  Chaucer's  EagUah 
localities  as  the  raw  material  on  which  we  are  to 
work.  We  must  then  proceed  to  eliminate  the 
names  of  places  which  owu  their  insertion  to  some 
definite  cause  other  than  local  predilection,  and 
when  this  has  been  done  the  residuum  of  namea 
which  appear  to  have  been  used  capriciously  or 
without  ostensible  reason  may  afford  as  the  clue 
for  which  we  seek. 

To  commence.  We  may  at  once  dispose  of  a 
long  list  of  names,  viz.  the  halting- pi  aces,  &Q.,  on 
the  road  to  Canterbury,  as  being  attributable  to 
the  necessities  involved  in  the  original  selection 
of  the  pilgrimage  aa  the  setting  to  tho  OmUrbur^ 
Taltt.  These  numerous  localities*  do  but  repre- 
sent one  single  choice  on  the  part  of  Chiuoer,  and 
that  choice  ia  easily  to  be  accounted  for.  It  is 
universally  admitted  that  no  other  occaaion  of 
chance  companionabip  would  have  afforded  such 
a  happy  baokgrouud  and  bond  of  union  for  the 
motley  groap  of  citizens,  gentles,  and  cler^  as  a 
pilgrimage.  That  being  conceded,  it  ia  clear  that 
St  Thomaa's  shrine  must  have  been  selected  (I)

NOTES  AND  QUERIES,         |6.'avii.su»: 


OD  nccount  of  its  great  celebrity  ;  (2)  the  maaage- 
«ble  di&tance  from  London  as  compared,  for 
infltaoce,  with  Our  Lad;  of  WaUicgfaatu  or  other 
well-known  ebrioea;  and  (3)  the  intimate  acquatnt- 
anoe  Chaucer  most  faaTe  had  with  the  road,  from 
hia  frequent  jonmejs  to  the  Continent  ri'i  Canter- 
bnry  and  Dover. 

Next  wo  have  the  referenoes  to  London'^  and 
its  immediate  TJciDity.t  which  we  phould  natnrally 
expect  from  a  man  who  paused  ni05t  of  hie  life 
within  Bourd  of  Bow  Bells  ;  some  of  the  leferencea 
are  also  ultribatable  to  dramatic  propriety,  being 
pat  into  the  months  of  persons  supposed  to  lire  in 
the  metropolis. 

Then  we  hare  allnsiona  tn  places  chosen,  like 
Dan  and  Beersbeba,  eimply  on  account  of  their 
being  far  apart.  Thnv,  "  from  UnU  nnto  Car- 
thage" (ii.  13),  "from  Bincirk  unto  Wore"  (n. 
22),  ''between  Ocarfw  and  Inde"  (r.  4).  The 
reference  to  the  merchant's  desire  before  any- 
thing to  have  the  eea  kept  rafe  between  Middle- 
bnrgh  and  Orruell  (ii.  D)  may  be  ranked  in  this 
category,  but  it  alio  comes  tinder  the  bead  of 
dramntic  propriety,  tbe  merchant  of  that  time 
being  naturally  most  interested  in  the  waters  be* 
tween  East  AnKlia  and  Flanders. 

A  poet  who  addressed  court  circles  mast  neces- 
aarily  allude  to  roy&I  palaces,  and  we  accordingly 
find  mention  of  WootUtovk  {iv.  S^),  with  a  locnl 
touch  about  a  maple  before  the  queen's  chamber 
window  ;  also  Eltham  and  ^7^«(n  (v.  291), 

Again,  there  are  allusions  to  nrticlee  made  at 
oertaio  places,  such  as  the  ^ftrtfield  whittle  (ii. 
122),  or  the  twice-baked  *'Jakke  of  Ifover'' 
(ii.  135),  a  cake  or  pie  uf  apparently  more  than 
local  celebrity,  to  which  we  may  add  the  reference 
in  the  liomauni  of  the  Jiou  to  "  bomepipea  of 
ComticaiU"  (yi.  J 30),  in  all  of  which  it  is  the 
thing  rather  than  the  locality  which  is  prominent 
in  the  writer's  mind. 

Another  class  embraces  historical  or  legendary 
traditions,  av^  for  instance,  that  of  young  Hu^h 
of  Lyncoln  (iii.  129);  V'utling  Sbe4t  (v.  ^37), 
the  Saxon  mythic  name  for  the  milky  way  ;  the 
flight  of  the  Britiflh  Christians  to  Wales  (ii.  l&e,\ 
recorded  in  the  Man  of  Law's  tale,  and  the  war 
between  NorUivmbna  and  i^£otland  in  the  same 
atory  (ii.  192). 

Our  list  is  now  oonsiderably  reduced,  and  we 
can  Btill  further  diminish  it  by  two  places:  "  Stro- 
ihir"  (ii.  12.J},  whence  the  two  Cambridge 
acholars  came,  "fer  in  the  north,"  and  identified 
by  Tyrwbitt  with  Stmthers  in  Fifesbire ;  and 
Ousf  (v.  :2CS)  1  the  river  Ouae)  in  the  //ou*/ 
o/Famej  both  of  which  evidently  owe  the  honour 
of  their  selection  to  the  exigencies  of  rbyme,  the 

•  I.f.n.loti  »lo  (ii.  13),  Cheap  (il.  137).  Flett  Street  (iii. 
^'■)   "  ii.  137),  Kf.  Paai's  (iu.  227). 

'  Ht«  Uc«ri  ( i.  6),  W.rt  (Ii.  135,  S23).  Pon- 


first  coupling  with  "other,"  and  the  seoond  witic^ 

"  noise." 

Nor  do  the  references  to  our  nniversitiee  assist  i 
onr   inquiry    at    all.     With    apparently   studied^ 
impartiality,  Chaucer  places  the  acene  of  one  tale  I 
at  Ojfordj  and  another  at  Camhriiigij  roentionipg! 
in  the   one    case    Osmay   (IL    101),  and  in  the  jl 
other  Tmmpington  (ii.   122),    to   show  his  ao- n 
quaintance   with   the   sorronndiog   country,   an^j 
l>t.  Fridnicidt'i  priory   fii.    10(J)  and  iyolrr-haV  *^ 
(ii.  1^2)  to  testify  to  bis  knowledge  within   the 
walls.     Moreover,    a  clerk   of    Oxford    (ii.     10) 
figures  among    the  pilgrims,  and  Philo^enet,  of 
Cambridge    (it.    32).    clerk,     in    the    Court    rf 
Love.      Tbe  fact  that  the  fifth  husband  of   tbe 
wife  of  Bath  was  once  an  Oxford  clerk  (it  222> 
may  be  set  down  as  only  notifying  the  natural 
conneiion   of   tfcat   uniTersity  with  the  western 
counties  ;  and  the  knowledge  of  tho  fen  scenery 
round  Cambridge,  with  tbe  balf-wtid  horaeadit« 
porting  themselves  there,  as  shown  in  ibe  Beer^^ 
tale,  may  oven  make  ua  think  that  tbe  poet 
better  acquainted  with  tbu  Cam  than  tbe  Iain 

Oxford    and    Cambridge    being     thus     e 
balanced  may  be  left  cut  of  the  equation,  a 
default  of  better  identification  than  I  can 
on  them  that  must  al^o  be  the  fH(e  of  Eoyinciral 
(ii.  21),  whence  the  Prtrdoner  hailed  {i   ^^ '■-.-- 
valJes);  ^oKTirfy*  (ii.  138)  (Sir  John  of  I 
Cook'a    tale   of   Gamelyn);    Wa4c  (iv.  :.     ,  ^   .; 
tale  of  Wade,"    Troihts  and  Cressula);   and  thil 
town  of  Tiunff{v.  164) (Booh of  tht  JJiici}u$*). 

Six  places  now  renmin,  of  which  it  may  be  niJ 
that  no  particular  reaeon  con    be  aaeigncd 
tbcT  should  havo  been  chosen  more  than  o 
Did  theae  six  abow  any  decided  tendency 
in  any  one  comer  of  England  wo  might  haw 
Burned  that  Chaucer's  family  connexions  nnd 
associations  were  in  that  direction.    Unforton 
they  show  nothing  of  the  kind.     The  wife  of 
(ii.  15),  the  shipman    from   Dartmovih    (ii. 
and  the  dicing  oath  in  tbe  Pardoner's  tale,

In  concluding  these  papers  of  Adiiendn  (sooi^ 
it  plensfl  tho  Editor,  to  be  followed  by  a  sui 
mental  list),  I  hare  much  pleasure  in  acknowledg* 
ins  my  obligatioD.i  to  other&  I  feel  especially 
indebted  to  Mr.  BuUen,  Keeper  of  th&  Printeu 
BookS|  British  Museum,  oa  also  to  Mr.  F.  E. 
BUickstone,  of  tbe  Muscutu,  lately  a  tmreller  Id 
the  Holy  Land.  To  tbta  latter  genllcroius  I 
return  my  aincere  thanks  for  deciding  serctal 
dates  of  publications  of  vhich  I  was  in  d< 
and  for  adding  to  my  list  the  titles  of 
than  thirty  worka.  Upon  me,  hoirerer, 
upon  me  alone,  reats  the  neponsibility  of  any 
deftciencies  that  may  still  be  diBOorered.  I 
never  promised  to  m.ike  an  cr/muft»tv  list  of 
the  Bn^liflh  literature  relating  to  the  Holy  lAud* 
which  is  my  chief  aim.  even  for  the  short  space 
of  one  hundred  ycara ;  but  I  hope  stltl  to  makr 
it  less  imperfect  than  it  is.  Some  of  the  best 
hooks  of  travels  in  those  parts  have  been  printed 
only  for  private  circulation,  not  published.  I 
shall,  therefore,  be  most  thankful  for  the  neces- 
sary details  respecting  any  such  works  not  found 
in  my  lists,  these  beinj{  the  most  difficult  of  nil  to 
discover.  As  photof^raphs  add  so  much  to  ao 
accurate  knowledge  of  the  huildtDgs  of  the  Holy 
Litnd,  I  shall  also  be  glad  to  receive  from  t»> 
vcliera  particulars  of  any  meritorious  forftiiES 
series  (those  by  English  photo^rnphera  I  faavt 
examined)  other  than  tho  magnificeui  set  of  more 
than  S0(.)  plates  by  M.  BonfiU  of  Alais.  boi 
which,  in  the  Print  Room,  British  Museui 
have  had  tho  opportunity  of  admiring.

allowed  lo  iDiportost  a   document  to  »lip  froon

some   means — how,  I   bare    not  discorered — the 
rpgiBter  h»d  found  its  way  into  the  pnrish  cheat 
of  a  village  about  twenty  miles  distant  from  here, 
nnd  80,  since  it  bad  not  passed  into  private  hands, 
I  dare  aay  it  might  sooner  or  later  have  found  its 
way  back  ;  but  its  present  restoration  to  its  ri^lit- 
ful  owners  is  duo  to  my  having  taken  up  by  chance 
a  few  months  a^'O  in  a  London  bookseller's  shop 
the  Rev.  T.  W.  Davids'e  Annalt  of  Nonconformity 
in  EiS€x.     In  turning  to  his  notices  of  this  pnriah, 
I  observed  that  the  author  had   taken  some  ex- 
tracts from  a  register  of  the  seventeenth  century. 
A    little    while    hiter.    having    ascertained    Mr. 
Davids's  address,  I  took  the  liberty  of  writing  to 
him  on  the  subject ;  and  his  memory  served  him 
to  well  that  he  was  able  to  point  out  to  me  the 
y^reating-placo  of  the  MS.,  while  by  hia  kind  oihces 
■be  paved  the  way  for  me  to  obtain  possession  of  it. 
W    The  register  is  a  quarto,  and  conai.sts  of  tbirty. 
aix   leaves  of  vellum.     It  bepina  with  the  year 
1609^  and  the  lost  entry  is  in  1693,  but  for  some 
^ean  before  the  latter  date  the  records  are  very 
incomplete.      The   book   has    the    singular   title, 
"  Epbemeris  vel    Bypomnema  ad  Bcclesiam  pa- 
rochialem  de  Wickham  Sti.  Pauli  in  Bosex  spec*

B^QLisn  SoNXET  ANTnoLOGT.— 0.  M.  I. 'a  note 
|yfant«,  p.  166)  seems  to  be  somewhat  misleading. 
Hue  gives  in  it  a  list  of  certain  books  in  his  own 
Bbrary,  so  as  (he  states)  to  accede  to  my  "  request 
Hd  be  famished  with  the  title  of  any  work  of  the 
Hott  (besidea  those  of  Dennis  and  Main)  published 
^D  recent  years." 

tThe  facts  are  as  follows.  C.  M.  T.  had  charged 
De  (0^  8.  vi.  427)  with  making  u  misstatement  in 
tnglUh  Sonntts  by  Living  ^yriten,  to  the  effect 
bat  there  had,  at  the  time  I  wrote  (December, 
8dl),  been  only  two  previous  selections  of  English 
oonets  published  in  recent  years.  To  this  I  re- 
fflied  (6**  S.  vi,  -445),  with,  perhaps,  pardonable 
evity,  that  I  should  be  much  obliged  if  he  would 
kindly  furnish  me  with  the  title  of  the  third.  To 
accede  to  this  request  (!)  C.  M.  I.  now  mentions, 
amongst  other  works  which  he  has  in  bin  own 
'ibnuy.  The  .^oymeta  of  Shahpeare  and  Afilton, 
1830,  published  more  than  half  a  century  ago  ; 
id  it  is,  therefore,  just  possible  that  he  would 
consider  the  following  sonnet  anthologies  as 
rotks  of  recent  date;  Hender9on'8Pe(rflrfAa(1803), 
fVipel  Loffi's  Laura  (1813),  Dyce's  Specimwa  oj 

r^^gluh  SonneU  (1833),  and  Honsman's  selection, 
bliahed  (I  think)  is  1835.    In  any  case,  he  would 


do  well  to  add  these  to  bis  list,  even  though  tbey 
may  not,  perhaps,  be  in  his  own  library. 

For  my  own  piirt,  I  cannot  consider  Leigh  Hunt's 
selection  a  recent  publication;  and  that  is  really 
the  moot  point  between  us.  So  long  aa  0.  &L  I. 
is  watchful  in  keeping  amongst  hia  living  writers 
SQch  poets  as  Miss  Christina  Kossetti  and 
Mr.  Covenlrj'  Palmore,  be  may,  I  think,  safely 
allow  Ijeigb  Hunt  to  be  classed  with  the  authors 
of  the  post.  Samukl  Waddinotos.

"Pennt  Keadi^cjb  "  AND  THEIR  Oaicrif. — 
In  an  article  "  The  Penny  Keader,"  that  appeared 
in  the  Jllmtrated  Lottaon  Ntw$f  March  3,  the 
writer  says: — 

"  It  is  quite  curiooi  to  think  that  forty  year*  aso 

'  Pennjr  HeKilini^'  did  not  exist I  believe  that  toe 

original  Pennj  Hrnder  waa  a  clergyman  ;  I  bave,  indeed* 
heard  the  iDvention  ascribed  to  a  kindly  if  unorthodox 
mtniiier,  still  hard  at  work  lo  a  southern  suburb  of 
London.  An>how,  the  clerpy  are  the  backbone  of  penny 
readings  all  oTer  Krigland." 

In  hia  introductory  paper  on  "Tlie  Origin  an^J 

Progress   of  the   *  Penny    Reading'  Movement," 

Mr.  J.  E.  Carpenter,  in  the  first  volume  of  bis 

selection  of  Fenny  Iie<nUngs  in  Pro$e  and   Vevu 

(F.    Wftrne  &   Co.,    ISOO),  refers  to  a  pamphlet 

by  Mr.  Charles  Sulley,  editor  of  the  IpnncJi  Er- 

prt$$t  who,  in  conjunction  with  Mr.  Gowing,  had 

established  penny  readings    at  Ipswich  in  IS&dat

these  popular  entertoinments,  although  Mr.  Ca

BASQin:=GAScoN=EcsffARiAS'. — The  last  i« 
the  Dutive  word,  which  is  an  adjective  from  itca 
(water),  so  that  irnk-irian  properly  denotes  ti 
dweller  by  the  wuter,  in  this  case  the  Bay  of 
Biscay.  In  Ouse,  Eiire,  or,  with  the  suffix,  Isdi, 
which  is  the  same  with  English  uYi/^r,  the  initial 
letter  is  omitted.  In  other  cti^es^  it  .nppeara  in  ii 
modified  forui,  tho  iustanceii  of  which,  for  hrevilyj 
I  enumerate  together:  Berwick,  Burton,  BerliD, 
Base],  Britannia,  Fr.  hord  (Elioro) ;  Padtts,  Par- 
ret  ;  Friealttud  :  JTnin,  Moselle  ;  Nitli,  Neclfar, 
Kar ;  Gascon,  G;vrunina.  At  first  sight  these 
do  not  appear  to  hare  much  in  common  ;  but«aU 
the  mutations  involved  may  bo  illustrated  from 
familiar  exaniples.  Thus  compare  wood,  heu ; 
goody  bditr:  meliorf  opiimm;  Joor,  nV,  and  tho 
Greek  word  ;  nigf^  vicinus;  loef,  Gemian  nan; 
swim,  nature  (uietalbesis).  There  is  another 
equation  of  our  word.  In  the  matter  of  foreign 
name.",  the  Komans  freely  adupted  'them,  substi- 
tuting open  for  close  sounds,  and  generally  bring- 
ing the  word  into  harmony  with  well-known  types, 
and  especially  in  some  combinations  they  seem  to 
hare  omitted  the  sibilant,  so  that  with  them  Eus- 
knmns  were  Aqiiitani,  and  in  Bntnin  the  Iceui 
on  the  Ouse,  and  such  nauies  us  Swedes,  Surrey 
(south-rice)  were  ^Tldai,  Atrebates.  The  much 
discussed  name  of  the  Silnres,  situated  on  the 
estuary  of  the  Severn,  probably  does  not  contain 
Ihe  same  element,  but  la  rather  aktn  to  Solgovte 
(Galloway,  Solwny)  and  the  Solent,  which  waa  an 
estuary  in  the  Roman  period.  It  is  the  same  with 
the  verb  to  skthtf  and  the  Silurian  name  probably 
still  survives  in  that  of  Gloucester,  formerly 
Gleannceasler.  Do  we  meet  with  Eusfcarian  on 
classical  ground  ?  It  certainly  recalls,  besides 
the  m}'thic;i1  Ascanius,  tho  Etruscans,  Oscans, 
Achxaus,  Pelnsgians,  people  with  water  frontiers, 
And  some  apparently  ^'euuine  B:isquQ  words  have 
ft  strong  likeness  to  classical  ones^  n^  Petion  and 
Pyrenees,  Scyros,  Corsica,  and  Sp.  aierni,  Btvsqfie, 
and  Baia3.  The  conclusion  from  this  would  be 
that  Ba.*qne,  instead  of  being  considered  an 
isolated  lunguage,  should  rather  be  referred  to 
the  Gneco-Ilalic  brnnch.  J.  Parry,

Outlaw. — This  word  bos  eenerally  been  under- 
stood to  mean  ouUidt  the  benefit  nr  protection 
of  the  law,  exfra  Uyitm,  So  Prof.  Skeat;  and  the 
Proinptorium  has  "  Oute  inw,  exlcx."  I  oKwrve, 
however,  that  Ettniiiller  does  not  range  A.-S. 
lU-tngtt,  ut-lah,  immediately  under  lagn,  law,  lu 
rierivHtivcs  of  that  word,  but  under  /u/ya.  one  who 
lies  or  dwells.  If  this  be  right  the  proper  signifi- 
cation ol  ont'taw  is  an  out-lying  man,  one  driven 
from  the  abodes  of  men,  exactly  corresponding  to 
Lat.  fX-«ut  and  tx-ttrminvi.  As  confirmatory  of 
this  we  may  compare  Icel.  tU  /*jjr,  (I)  banished, 
outlawed,  (3)  having  to  lay  out,  lined  ;  ut-Ug^, 
(1)  baniehment.  (2)  out-laying  of  money,  a  fine; 
tW-Za^i,  an  outlaw ;  ui-laqja^  to  banish ;  ui'ltrgr^ 
b&nidbed;  and  (Ui/i^a,  outlying  (of  robbers);  \Ui- 
ffffu-malir,  an  outlying  man,  a  highwayman,  ad 
outlaw  (V'igfusson,  c.v.).  Is  lbif>,  then,  another 
instance  of  folk-etymology  *'  ?  And  is  (o  out-law 
{=:otit-lay  ?)  equivalent  to  LM.  icUyari?  Some- 
what similarly,  I  have  observed  in  the  Satnrdajf

Mr.  Koukd  discusses  this  subject  at  some 
length,  without  throwing  new  light  on  it.  He 
gives  an  incorrect  view  of  the  stateoients  made 
by  Mr.  Foster,  which  are,  Preface,  p.  iv,  "A 
barony  created  by  Charles  11.  has  been  either 
wilfully  grafted  on  to,  or  carelessly  confused  with,

may  be  the  views  of  the  latter  authorities,  they 
will  DDt  affect  the  principles  which  have  guided 
the  decisions  of  the  Lords.  Of  these  principle» 
Mr,  Hewlett  writes,  as  a  practical  and  experienced

It  may  bo  ndded  that,  even  if  Lord  Mansfield's 
dictum  is  incorrect  in  the  case  of  the  older  digni- 
ties, I  question  whether  it  would  not  truthftdly 
apply  to  tbe  mnjority  of  those  created,  like  Ruth-

May  I  be  allowed  to  suggest  that  the  continU' 
ance  of  this  barooy  to  the  ancestress  of  the  present 
liord  Ruthven,  by  insertion  in  the  Union  Boll 
and  by  the  iseue  of  coronation  summons,  shows 
either  that  Che  patent  (then  extant)  was  in  her 
favour,  or  else  evidences  a  very  marked  intention 
on  the  part  of  the  Court  of  St.  James  to  continue- 
tl]e  title  to  heirs  geaeraU  This  may  be  accounted 
for  by  the  fuct  that  the  chief  honours  of  the  house- 
of  Ruthven  had  been  destroyed  by  tbe  first  Stoart 
king  of  England,  and  the  Hanoverian  sovereigns 
may  have  de!?ired  to  make  such  reparation  to  the 
younger  branch  as  lay  in  their  power,  without 
directly  attributing  to  James  7.  and  VL  the  cruet 
perBdy  by  ^btcb  bis  young  cousins,  tbe  third 
Earl  of  Gowrie  and  Alexander  Biithven,  suffered. 
In  this  view  of  tbe  transaction  Lyon  and  Ulster 
may  be  right  in  letting  the  matter  rest,  instead  of 
stirring  it  up  na  Mr.  Foster  has  done.  Anyhow, 
there  is  no  such  antagonism  between  them  as  to- 
call  for  partisan  warmth.  Consideration  of  the 
following  d^les  will,  perhaps,  clear  up  some  diffi- 
cuUies : —

]94\ — It  is  doubtless  convenient  for  Ikquiuer  to 
ttTOid  discassion  as  to  the  consequences  of,  nnd 
ioferences  to  be  dn\WD  from,  Anthony  Haig's  law- 
luit  in  1671  ;  it  iseiuy,  too,  for  him  to  put  for- 
ward his  i;^i<  dixit  tbnt  the  "  representation " 
is  not  nffected  by  "  the  manner  in  which  Anthony 
Hftiff  computed  hia  title  to  the  estate  in  1673  "  ; 
but  De  cannot  avoid  the  fact  that  the  decision  of 
the  Court  of  Session  in  1671  most  distinctly  proves 
that  David  Hui^,  Anthony's  father,  did  not  obtain 
Beniersyde  as  heir  to  bis  elder  brothers  fa.s  Ik- 
QUIRKR  asserted),  but  only  by  deed  of  f;ifc  from 
his  undo,  William  Haig. 

IwyuiRKH  nowsnys,  "The  gift  of  Mr.  Willium 

Haig's  escheat  to  hia  nephew  David  rather  tends 

to  show  that  the  latter  wits  his  heir."     I  am  glud 

he   has  como    to  agree  with    Mr.    Russell    that 

William  did  make  David  bis  heir  ;   but  bad  1n- 

QDIRKR  studied   the   subject    more   carefully  he 

would  know  that  this  same  escheat  was  procured 

from  the  Crown  (p.  216)  by  William  Muodowell, 

David  Huik'a  maternal  uoclc,  and   presented  by 

Jiiui  to  David  upon  the  latter  marrying  Oibemia 

KScholea    (p.    225).     Also  about    this  date  David 

■obtained  from  hia  uncles  the   *'  bond  and  obliga- 

^Uion  of  reversion  and  right  of  redemption  "  of  Lord 

^Dny  of  Yester'a  mortgage,  which  William  Hai^, 

^mi  outlawed  and   ruined  man,  after  his  flight  to 

Uollnnd,  hnd  pledged  to  William  Mucdowell  as 

security  for  a  loan  (p.  217).     William  ll:iig,  then, 

ooald  not  have  bestowed  this  right  of  redemption, 

^«ven  bad  be  been  so  minded,  upon  his  eldest  sur- 

Bviving  nephew  Robert,  without  either    first    re- 

Hdeeniing  it  from,  or  gaining  the  consent  of,  Mno- 

Hdowell  ;  and  it  was  perfectly  natural  that  Mnc- 

Hdoweli  hhould  give  the  preference  to  his  younger 

'     nephew,  David  Haig,  the  seventh  son,  who  w.is 

living  with  him  at  Groningen,  and  was   on  the 

)int  of  making  a  rich  marriii(;e.     In  this  manner, 

ty  iiD  apparently  sufficient  title,  David  Haig  came 

Into  possession  of  Bemersvde  in  1637,  and  it  was 

lot  until   1671  that   the   Court   of  Session  pro- 

riinctd  thia  title  Co  have  been  informal  and  void 

ty  reason  of  WiiUuiii  Haiti's  forfeiture. 

Willi  regard  to  what   iNgcKRR  is  pleased  to 


ciiW  "  the  recently  asserted  identity  of  Robert  of 
Bemersyde  with  Robert,  farmer  at  Throsk,**  the 
pedigree  I  have  cited  is  by  no  means  "recent," 
but  was  couipiled  upon  the  authority  of  members 
of  the  Clackmannanehire  branch  of  the  Haigs,  iir 
generations  gone  by,  very  long  beforu  there  wan 
any  prospect  of  the  failure  of  David  Haig's  line  ; 
and  It  has  remained  ever  since  di»tinct1y  opposed 
to  Obadiah  Haig's  statement,  now  proved  by  Mr. 
Russell  to  be  untrue,  that  Andrew  (who  waa 
actually  laird  of  Bemersyde  from  ICgo  till  his 
death  in  1627)  and  Robert,  with  five  other 
brothers,  left  Bemersyde  about  1630  because  their 
mother  hnd  married  aRnin,  (1)  and,  excepting 
David,  were  all  nipjwscd  to  have  peribhed  in  ttio 
Bohemian  wars. 

Now  this  Clackmannanshire  pedigree  is  corro- 
borated by  evidence  lately  brought  to  light  by- 
Mr.  RuRsell,  and  pointed  out  iu  my  former  letter. 
This  evidence  (I)  proves  that  Robert  Haig  waa 
d  isinherited  through  the  action  of  his  undo 
Willi.nm  ;  (2}  it  accounts  for  Robert  settling  at 
Tbroak  by  showing  that  it  was  the  property  of  his 
father's  great  friend,  Ijord  Mar  (nnd  I  may  here- 
mention  that  the  Clackmannanshire  Haigs,  not- 
withstanding their  humbler  position,  always  con- 
tinued on  friendly  terms  with  the  Erakines  of 
Mar)  ;  (3)  it  proves  by  a  decision  of  the  Court 
of  Session  th;it  Robert  Haig's  younger  brother 
David  obtained  Bemersyde  not  as  heir-at-law,, 
but  by  mere  deed  of  gift ;  (4)  it  proves  the  worth- 
leu  character  of  the  statement*  in  Obadtah  Haig's 
genealogy  concerning  the  fate  of  the  elder  sons  of 
James  Haig,  seventeenth  laird,  and  ahowA  thaC 
Anthony  Hai^,  of  Bemersyde,  was  either  wholly 
ijinorant  of  the  fate  of  his  unclei*,  or  wilfully 
allowed  a  (jravo  error  to  remain  uncorrected  ia 
this  genealogy,  which  has  piuised  with  t hie  public 
ns  correct  from  1798,  when  Douglas  puhltflhod  his 
HnroiuxQfy  until  Mr.  Russell's  book  appeared  in 
1881. 

Surely  a  family  pedigree  supported  by  inde- 
pendent and  circurastanthil  evidence  such  as  Mr. 
Russell  has  adduced  is  in  the  highest  degree- 
entitled  to  be  called  an  ''authentic  document." 
It  is  assuredly  far  superior  to  many  so-c-.illed 
"authorities"  from  whom,  or  by  whom,  *' proved 
and  registered  "  pedigrees  have,  even  "  recently/* 
been  compiled  ;  nnd  for  an  instance  of  what  I 
allude  to,  1  would  refer  Imqoirek  to  a  correi^pond- 
cnce  between  Mr.  Joseph  Foster  and  the  Lyon  King 
of  Arm*,  which  he  will  find  in  Mr.  Foster's  Coi'

it  is  most  improbuble  that  a  disinherited  and  im- 
poverished man,  such  as  Robert  is  clearly  shown 
to  have  been,  would  hiive  occasion  to  be  men- 
tioned in  a  document  of  that  description.  Also, 
Robert  Uaig's  t«nnre  of  Throsk  was  in  all  pro- 
bability a  yearly  one,  and  at  that  period  written 
farm  agreements  were  the  exception.  But  to 
sappOM  that  in  such  a  document  any  man  would 
be  oescribed  as  "son,  or  brother,  of  the  laird  of

As  early  as  1810— it  could  not  be  U{«r  than 
ISll— a  volume  of  fables  was  given  to  me;  it  was 
small  8vo.  It  must  have  had  tvo  hundred  pages 
or  more,  a  fable  on  the  lower  half  of  the  page 
and  a  woodcut  illnHtratint;  it  on  the  upper  halt  I 
dietinctly  remember  thnt  one  of  the  fables  was 
"  The  Town  in  Danger  of  a  SieKe,"  and  the  illustra- 
tion, the  townsmen  ooasiderinK  Hie  matter.  I 
believe  the  book  wa^  entitled  ^'Eit<>iis  Fahles,  and 
that  there  was  the  name  of  an  editor  on  the  title-

abbreviations  mentioaed  by  your  correspondent, 
and  make  the  following  suggestions,  viz.,  that 
in  "  alloc  I're  "  the  first  word  is  an  assimilation  of 
abhoc^  and  the  two  words  being  joined  to  "Tre" 
=lart  (abL  from  Latin  laT)^  it  signifies  "  from  this 
house  or  abode/'  t.  €.  some  ono  disclaiming  his 
residence  at  the  place  stated,  having  perhaps  pre- 
viously lived  there.  "P'cator,"I  should  say,  is 
short  for  piuntoTj  finherman,  the  meandering 
Derwent  and  ita  small  tributaries  being  about  the 
time  mentioned  the  favourite  resort  of  *'ye  honest 
Izaak  Walton"  and  his  followers.  The  explanation 
of  the  third  abbreviation  I  must  leave  to  minds 
of  more  inventive  genius  than  my  own,  and  will 
Attempt  no  suggestion  of  it,  though  the  latter, 
I  admit,  like  necessity,  is  very  often  the  parent  of

Guy  received  his  eany  education  at  the  free  school

according  to  Fuller(  Worihit*,  vol. ii.  p. 540), Thonuu 
Morton,  afterwards  Bishop  of  Durham,  was  a  con- 
temporary. John  PuUeyne,  B.A.,  was  master  of  this 
school  1575-1590.  Fawkes woanrobablyaProtettaat 
by  birth  and  education  ;  how  long  he  remained  at

mother  married,  secondly,  Dionis  Baynebrigge,  a 
gentleman  residing  at  Scotton,near  Knaresbo rough, 
where  Guy  lived  until  he  attained  to  manhood. 
Here  he  met  many  young  men  of  strong  CithoUc 
feelings— the  Pulloynes,  Percys,  Vavasour*,  and 
others— whereupon  he  became  a  zealous  convert  to 
the  Roman  Catholic  faith.  That  his  zeal,  distorted 
by  superstition  and  fanaticism,  ultimately  outran 
his  discretion  cmnot  be  doubted.  He  served  in  the 
Spanish  army  1693-1604,  with  alleged  distinction.

be  for  the  third  power  of  th:it  of  which  billion  is

French  perversion  when  extended  will  be  seen 
by  observing  that  the  logarithms  of  what  it  would 
call  a  billion,  trillion,  and  quadrillion  are  9,  12,  i&, 
where  they  ought  to  be  in  the  ratios  of  2,  3,  4  ; 
and  those  of  Locke's  correct  billion,  trillion,  and 
quadrillion  are  accordingly  12,  13,  and  24.  It  is 
nob,  I  think,  in  astronomy,  but  in  very  practical 
applications  to  evidence  oT  the  calculus  of  chances, 
that  such  numbers  will  chteSy  be  needed.  They

nrbi  it  orhi^  that  be  considered  her  more  likely  to 
nvoid  that  fate  for  fifteen  million.  The  chances  of 
safety  during  fifteen  years  may  be  tolerably  set 
at  somewhat  over  fourteen  thousand  to  one,  but 
the  chance  of  continuing  fifteen  millions  is  cer- 
tainly not  a  quadrillionth  of  the  small  fourteen 
ibousandth  chance  of  an  encounter  within  fifteen. 
It  may  be  said  this  case  pertains  to  Astronomy  as 
well  as  to  evidence,  but  it  might  just  as  easily 
have  arisen  on  some  simple  gaming  question. 
Indeed,  though  the  data  are  astronomical  they 
involve  no  very  high  number,  the  very  highest 
used  being  bat  about  2,116,000,000 ;  namely, 
the  ratio  of  a  whole  sphericiil  surface  to  the 
earth's  disc  as  subtended  at  the  sun.

— KaAoKaya^of  is  one  of  the  favourite  words  ot 
the  Socrutic  school,  signifying  "a  man  of  worth 
and  honour.*'  It  belongs  to  person  and  manners, 
not  to  rank  or  station,  and  answers  to  the  English 
"perfect  gentleman."  In  the  pages  of  Aristo- 
phanes, Xenophon,  Plato,  and  Diogenes  Laertius^ 
are  numerous  examples  of  this  expressive  epithet, 
n  definition  of  which  is  thus  given  by  Xenophon : 
Toi'S  d^a^ois  ras  ^vx°'>  *°^  ''°^*  icaAors  Ta 
o-w/xoTu  {Mim.j  II.,  6,  30). 

What  constituted  a  perfect  gentleman  in  the 
eyes  of  Socrates  may  be  gathered  from  the  cha- 
racter of  Isomachus  in  the  (Ec^iomics,  Accord- 
ing to  Aristotle  {Eth.,  1.  iv.  c.  3)  this  state  of  per-

Hahdt-Dandt  (6**'  S.  vi.  533).— With  respect 
to  this  game,  Halliwell,  in  his  Popular  Rhymes 
(p.  216),  says : — 

"  This  game  is^  now  plajed  as  follows :— A  child  bidet 
something  in  one  hand,  and  then  places  both  fists  end- 
ways on  each  other,  crying, —

Donee,  in  his  lUxutralionB  of  Shakipean,  in 
vol.  ii.  p.  167,  quotes  from  A  Free  Discourse 
touching  the  Murmurers  of  the  Tymes,  MS. : — 

"They  hould  safe  your  childrens  patrymony,  and 
play  with  your  majestic  as  men  play  with  little  children 
at  handye  t/andye,  which  hand  will  you  have,  when  they 
are  diiposed  to  Jceep  anything  from  them." 

The  Discourse  is  an  address  to  King  James  T. 

Again,  the  game   is  mentioned  in  Urqnhart's 
Rabelai*,  bk.  ui.  c.  21,  p.  3G  (ed.  Bohn,  1849):-- 
"  Take  her.  or  not  take  her, 
Off,  or  on : 
Handy-dandy  is  your  lot. 
When  her  name  you  write,  you  blot." 

Mr.  J.  dough  Robinson,  in  bis  Dialect  of  Leedif 
calls  the  game  handy-pandy. 

In  Korth  Yorkshire,  however,  I  have  alway* 
heard  the  following  said,  whenever  the  game  wa»

Fasten  TuK8DAT=SaB0VK  Tuesday  (6*  S. 
•»t.  166,  334;  vii.  112).— The  term  FmIcd,  or 
Fostcrn's,  Ere  used  to  be,  and  probablj  is  still, 
Lhe  only  one  by  which  Shroye  Tuesday  was  known 
in  the  north  of  Scotlnnd.  Thirty  yctin  Ago,  in 
the  Biichnn  district  of  Aberdeen  ah  ire,  the  school 
children  always  had  a  half-holiday  on  Fasten'a 
Eve,  when  they  were  in  the  habit  of  engaging  in 
foot-ball  and  other  out-of-door  games.  A  stand- 
ing dinner  dish  in  the  farrahouKB  on  thia  day 
was  a  huge  bowl  of  beef  brose,  into  which  the 
gaid wife's  wedding-ring  had  prcTiousIy  been 
dropped,  and  which  was  partaken  of  in  common 
by  all  the  unmarried  members  of  the  family.  The 
indiyidual  who  was  fortunate  enough  to  secure 
the  ring  was  deemed  especially  lucky,  uud  would, 
it  was  reckoned,  be  successful  in  his  or  her 
matrimoDicd  projects.  In  the  ercning  there  was 
on  ad  lihiium  coosumptiou  of  "  sautie  bannocks,'* 
A  species  of  oatmeal  pan,  or  rather  girdle,  cakes. 
The  manufacture  of  these  was  usually  preceded  by 
a  TDQDd  of  "  fortune  telling  "  by  means  of  the  eggs 
to  be  used  in  their  composition.  The  eggs  were 
broken  one  by  one  and  dropped  into  a  wine-glass, 
when  one  of  the  senior  members  of  the  party — 
usually  a  female — read  the  horoscope  of  each  one 
present  in  succession  by  the  appearances  which 
his  or  her  egg  presented  when  looked  nt  through 
the  glass.  I  always  understood  the  term  Fasten 
Ere  to  mean  the  eve  preceding  the  Lenten  fast. 
Though  there  is  comparatively  little  religious 
observance  of  what  are  termed  Church  festivals 
in  that  Presbyterian  country,  yet  there  has  been 
a  regular  traditionnl  flecular  observance  of  them 
handed  down  from  Catholic  times ;  hence  the  Fasten 
Tuesday  celebrationa  and  the  eating  of  eggs  on 
Pasch  (Easter)  Sunday  morning.  I  may  add 
that  these  festivals  were  held  according  to  the  old 
style  of  reckoning,  as  was  also  Christmas,  which 
did  not  fall  due  nntil  January  6,  N.S.,  though  its 
observance  usually  began  on  the  fifth.

scendant of  the  Chancellor  was  then  dead  ;  but 
since  that  a  large  number  of  male  descendants 
have  turned  up  ;  the  reason  for  their  non-appear-

Old  Ci^ockr  (6**  S.  Tii.  165).— I  am  glad  that 
some  one  besides  myself  has  as  interest  in  old 
clocks  and  watches,  aod  findii  the  want  of  a  proper 
chronological  arniDgeinent  of  the  horological  col- 
lections ID  the  Sonlb  KenaiogtoD  Maeeam.  It  ia 
a  subject  which  very  few  persons  seem  to  know 
ftnythtor  aboat,  and  very  few  clockroakers  will  be 
found  who  know  anything  of  the  early  history  of 
the  articles  which  they  make.  The  South  Ken- 
BiDgtoo  Moseom  contains  a  rery  Uirge  collection 
of  beautiful  and  curious  objects  of  all  kinds,  bub 
it  is  the  least  instructive  museum  I  hare  ever  seen, 
simply  from  want  of  arrangement ;  and  did  I  not 
know  and  nnderatand  something  relative  to  the 
history  and  classification  of  the  objecta  exhibited 
I  should  learn  very  little  from  a  visit  there — por- 
celain, glass,  goldsmiths'  work,  metal  work,  China 
and  Japan  work,  and  articles  of  every  description 
ofart  are  all  jumbled  together  in  one  confused  massj 
without  any  mtematie  chronological  arrangement, 
which  is  ADBofutely  necessary  to  enable  any  one  to 
anderstand  the  history  of  any  art  ormanafoctaro  ; 
and  a  proper  chronological  arroogenieDt  is  essen- 
tial to  enable  any  one  to  learn  the  age,  date,  his- 
tory, or  value  of  any  object  be  may  possess,  and 
that  wish  is  a  motive  which  indnces  many  persons 
to  visit  the  museum  ;  and  I  have  heard  persons 
aay  they  never  learn  anything  there.  Besides  this  a 
TCr^r  large  coUcctioD  of  curious  and  beautiful  articles 
are  jumbled  together  and  stowed  away  in  the  dark 
chambers  at  the  sides  of  the  Iar>!e  courts,  which 
are  so  dork  that  the  labels  cancot  even  be  read, 
much  less  the  objects  examined,  the  courts  them*

collections  of  beanlifu 
whieh  private  persons  possess,  and  send  there, 
seemingly  as  if  they  did  not  know  what  to  do 
with  them.  Those,  of  conrsej  cannot  be  classified 
or  arranged.  ^ 

The  collection  of  clocks  and  watches  is  a  greaT 
jumble ;  and  they  are  not  all  together,  nor  arc  they 
classed  or  chronologically  arranged,  and  they  seem 
«■  if  the  exteriors  were  alone  attended  to,  and  the 
internal  works  utterly  unheeded.  I  will  give  one 
example.  The  oldest,  most  interesting  and 
carious  clock  that  I  know  of  is  there,  and  is 
certainly  the  earliest  domestic  clock  I  have  seen. 
It  is  made  entirely  of  iron  or  steel,  it  is  of  small 
rise,  and  its  frame  is  ornamented  with  beautiful 
tabenincle  work  of  orcbitectiiril  character,  with 
bnltreswes.  pinnacles,  and  crockets  of  the  fifteenth 
century.  The  works  seem  to  be  entirely  of  steel, 
aa  bmas  was  not  nsed  in  clockmaking  till  the 
■ixtfentli  century,  and^  so  far  as  I  could  see,  it 


hns  the  originnl  vertical  verge  and  pallela  and 
horizontal  balance  on  the  lop,  an  extremely  rare 
thing  ;  but  it  is  placed  so  high  up  that  one  cannot 
examine  it,  and  in  so  dork  a  position  that  one 
could  hardly  see  it  well  if  it  were  lower,  so  aa  to 
distinguish  the  parts  and  mechanism.  Instead  of 
being  placed  with  the  clocks,  watches^  and  horo- 
metrical  instruments,  being  made  of  iron,  which 
is  black  and  somewhat  rusted  with  age,  thia 
moat  curious  clock  is  (or  was,  for  it  is  now  twelve 
months  since  I  was  there)  placed,  as  a  specimen 
of  old  iron  work,  among  the  grilles  and  gratings 
and  other  fine  specimens  of  the  blnckamith's  art ! 
It  was  most  probably  mode  by  an  ingenious  bhick- 
sniith,  for  the  bhicksmiths  and  locksaiitbs  were 
the  earliest  makers  of  clock  and  watches,  which 
were  also  at  first  mode  entirely  of  steel,  and  there 
was  at  one  time  great  rivalry  between  black- 
smiths and  clockmakera  with  regard  to  large 
church  clocks,  the  frames  and  whe&  being  oU  of 
fonjed  iron. 

I  have  a  very  large  collection  of  clocks  and' 
watches— about  fifty  of  the  former  and  not  far 
short  of  one  hundred  of  the  latter — and  I  have, 
therefore,  paid  some  attention  to  the  matter, 
though  I  have  now  long  ceased  to  collect. 

I  frequently  receive  lettem  from  persons  making 
inquiries  as  to  the  ages  and  other  matters  con- 
cerning clocks  and  watches,  asking  for  informa- 
tion as  to  names  and  dates  of  articles  in  thsir 
possession.  Generally  epeakiog  neither  dealers  nor 
clockmakera  know  much  about  the  true  history  of 
clocks  or  watches ;  and  if  there  was  a  good  chrono- 
logical collection  at  South  Kensington,  every  one 
woald  be  able  to  judge  for  himaelf ;  but  it  must  be 
remembered,  also,  that  every  one  would  be  able  to 
know  the  age  and  ralue  of  such  articles,  and  there 
would  be  no  more  picking  up  bargains,  aa  I  have 
done  in  very  many  cases,  because  I  bappeDed  to* 
know  something  about  the  subject.  The  only 
good  work  which  gives  a  concise  illustrated  his- 
tory of  clocks  and  watches,  together  with  the 
names  and  dates  of  clockmakers,  is  A  Treatise  on 
Watchioork  Fati  and  /VMtnf,  by  Rev.  H.  L.  Nel- 
thropp,  who  has  a  very  good  collection  of  watches. 
I  am  very  luucb  obliged  to  Mr.  James  Salter 
for  drawing  attention  to  the  subject  in  "  N.  &  Q.," 
and  will  send  a  continuation  to  this,  giving  sundry 
particulars  about  clocks.  Octavius  Moroax.

Joseph  Brogden  Baker.  {Longmans  &  Co.) 
Mr,  Bakc-r  has  produoed  a  very  interesting  Imt  confused 
hoolc.  Hiid  he  arranged  hia  facta  iu  good  trder  and  told 
U9  clearly  \Thero  each  sejiarate  frairaient  of  knowledge 
coniaa  from,  we  could  bars  found  little  to  a»y  that  wu 
not  laudatory.  As  it  ia.  howerer.  though  ne  have  gained 
D9W  knowledge  on  aereral  important  matters,  ibo 
acquiring;  it  has  been  made  tnilaome  inatead  uf  pleaaur< 
able.  Mr.  Baker  muat  knori  that  the  contentB'or  a  note- 
book, however  Taluable  they  may  be,  are  not  fit  for  tbe 
preaa  until  they  Iiato  been  s<»rted.  He  atao  cannot  but 
bav«  learnt  that  OTory  book  whxh  dcala  with  facta 
should  be  fnntiahad  with  an  index.  Hit  chronology  of 
important  events  in  the  hiatory  of  Scarborough,  though 
rauch  aplit  into  fragmcnta.  ia  very  useful,  as  it  deals  with 
the  events  of  the  present  as  well  aa  tt>c  put.  The  aiegea 
that  Scarborough  has  undergone  are  duty  noted,  but  that 
does  not  make  i^Ir.  Baker  fjrget  to  ttll  ua  all  about  tho 
cricket  club  and  cricket  ;:round.  This  is  as  it  should  be. 
If  the  chroniclera  of  poAt  days  bad  been  content  to  tell  u» 
what  WHS  pawing  und- r  their  own  eyca  inatead  of  what 
this  or  that  king  or  prince  was  imagining  in  bis  heart, 
we  should  know  far  more  of  our  anceatora  than  we  do  at 
present.  One  most  useful  feature  in  Mr.  DAker's  book 
ia  the  liat  he  has  given  u»  of  works  rehting  to  the  town 
of  Scarborough.  Wo  believe  it  is  a  first  attempt ;  if  ao, 
it  Is  very  creditable.  The  firat  volume  in  hia  Hit  U

entered  Pant.  Ilerr  v.  Scgewer  defends  hit  plan  of  not 
conRning  liimiclf  t<»  tlie  acts  of  Pfyffcr*  but  of  narrating 
tlie  iiittorr  of  his  tirnc^  paiutne  to  tell  in  detail  those 
parts  of  the  itory  in  which  his  hero  comes  to  the  front. 
And  this  scheme,  though  it  may  nerhapa  tend  to  orer- 
shadow  the  in'liTiduHlf  is  certainly  more  generally  in* 
tcresting  than  a  bingrapfay  pure  and  simple.  The  Swiss 
standpoint  fr»m  which  the  author  eurreys  affairs  in 
Franco  is  unusual,  and  adds  to  the  value  of  the  bonk, 
while  his  thorough  knowledtfo  of  original  authorities 
and  recent  wrltinf;t  leaves  little  to  desire.  Borne  of  the 
more  important  documents  are  printed  at  length.  In 
an  appendix  Uerr  v.  Begeflser  reprints  a  review  of  a 
tract  by  M.  Gombca,  of  Bordeaux,  which  attempts  to 
•how,  by  means  of  six  new  documents  from  Simancas, 
that  the  massacre  of  St.  Bartholomew  was  arranged  at 
the  Bayonne  interview  of  1505  between  Catherine  de 
Medici,  her  daughter  Elizabeth  of  Spain,  and  Alva. 
Ilerr  v.  Bcgcisor  decides  that  M.  Combes  has  not  made 
out  his  point,  Catherine  being  neither  convicted  nor 
cleared  of  the  guilt  which  attaches  to  her  for  that  dread- 
ful event.  (In  the  ButUtin  <U  la  Sociiii  (CJSluda  da 
JIauUt  Alnet,  1882.  pp.  297-^,  is  published  a  decla- 
ration of  Charles  IX.,  dated  August  28,  1572,  stating 
that  Coligny  had  been  killed  "par  son  exprua  com- 
maiidemcnt,*'  not  for  any  religious  reason,  but  to  put  an 
end  to  his  consjtiracy  against  tho  king.)  Herr  v. 
Bcgosscr  is  to  be  congratulated  on  having  now  still 
furthur  established  his  claim  to  be  the  chief  historian  of 
Luzcm,  his  native  city,  and  he  has  added  to  his  previous 
labours  a  valuable  and  interesting  monograph  on  one  of 
the  most  important  figures  of  the  Counter  Beformation 
movement  in  Switiorland. 

Spnrhi  of  Mvdnti  JIUtory. — Tht  French  Revolution, 
J78'J-17!>5.  By  Bertha  Meriton  Gardiner.  (Long- 
mans &  Co.) 
This  is  one  of  the  best-written  little  books  which  has 
appeared  in  tlic  *'  Epochs  "  leries.  Mrs.  Gardiner  (whom 
vro  sci-ni  to  recollect  having  met  before  as  Miss  Cordery) 
has  worked  tbrougli  all  tho  chief  French  and  German 
-works  on  tlic  iuV>ject  recently  published,  and  has  so 
thoroughly  assimilated  them  that  her  book  is  almost  an 
original  one  on  a  well-worn  subject.  We  are  gtad  to 
note  that  slie  lays  stress  on  tho  fact  that  Von  Sybel's 
history  is  not  an  impartial  one.  A  short  sketch  of  the 
State  of  things  before  1789  is  fullowcd  by  a  series  of 
chapters  on  the  full  in  succession  of  the  monarchy,  tho 
Ctirondlsts,  the  Dantonists,  Kobcspierre,  and  the  Mon- 
tagnards,  winding  up  with  the  establishment  of  the  Direc- 
tory and  the  appearance  of  the  wonderful  man  who 
was  at  once  tho  product  and  the  foe  of  the  Revolution. 
It  is  diflicult  to  group  all  the  complicated  and  nearly 
contemporaneous  events  of  this  period ;  hut  Mrs,  Gar- 
diner luu  succeeded  admirably,  and  her  work  will  rank 
aide  by  sidu  with  those  of  Mr.  8.  R.  Gardiner  in  tho 
name  series  on  the  Puritan  Revolution  and  the  Thirty 
Years*  War,  as  showing  that  a  small  book  may  repre- 
Pont  as  much  labour  and  historical  insight  as  far  bulkier 
times.  A  number  of  useful  maps  are  given,  amongst 
which  wo  may  specially  note  a  plan  of  Revolutionary 
Taris  and  a  map  of  France  in  provinces,  with  the  customs 
froutiiTs  marked,  which  latter  enables  one  to  appreciate 
the  vast  economic  rcfonn  brought  about  by  the  substi- 
tution of  administrative  departments  for  imperfectly 
united  provinces.  We  trust  that  Mrs.  Gardmer  will 
■continue  her  historical  labours^  as  she  so  thoroughly 
undentands  how  to  make  history  interesting,  while  not 
failing  in  accuracy  and  extent  of  knowlodg*. 

Tna  Rev.  W.  S.  lAch-Siynnm  is  an  McemplblMl 
antiquary.  His  little  tract  on  Tkt  Boivvffk  JRteonb  <if  th4 
Toms  ^f  J/aracion,  i*ensanct,  and   SaiiU  Jn$   wu 


originally  communicated  to  the  British  Arcbseologicil 
Afsociatton.  There  is  not  much  tliat  is  new  in  it,  for 
the  records  of  these  boroughs  are  not  of  early  date ;  but 
it  is  valuable  as  giving  a  synopsis  of  the  sort  of  informa- 
tion to  be  found  by  any  one  who  may  hereafter  have 
occasion  to  make  a  minute  examination  of  them.  One 
very  noteworthy  fact  is  that,  bo  f<tr  as  Mr.  Lach-Szyrma 
has  been  able  to  ascertain,  not  a  single  tmrough  paper 
or  legal  document  of  any  kind  exists  in  the  Cornish 
language.  This  is  strange,  and  probably  only  to  bo 
accounted  for  by  the  destruction  of  the  older  records. 
Bonfires  are  yet  fashionable  in  the  west.  There  were 
some,  we  are  pletsed  to  hear,  at  Penxance,  in  1881.  Wo 
do  not  gather  from  the  paper  before  us  whether  the 
maypole  yet  exists  at  Penxance.  A  new  one  was  set  up 
in  1749. 

The  Runic  Croua  at  Ooxfarth,  Cumlerlandy  Dtacnbtd 
and  Sxplaintdt  by  Charles  A.  Parker  (Williams  k 
Morgate),  14  a  reprint  of  a  paper  read  before  the  Royal 
Arcb8Bolo|zical  Institute.  It  is  a  servicsable  account  of 
one  of  the  most  noteworthy  Scandinavian  relics  in 
England.  We  do  not  in  every  instance  agree  with  Mr. 
Parker's  mythological  explanations.  It  may  not  be 
known  to  some  of  our  readers  that  there  has  recently 
been  discovered  at  Gosforth  another  piece  of  early 
sculpture,  which  may  have  formed  a  part  of  a  cross  now 
destroyed.  We  gather  from  Mr.  Parker's  pages  that  it 
represents  Thor's  endeavour  to  destroy  the  Midgard 
worm.  This  may  be  so ;  but  his  argument  are  not  con- 
vincing to  OS.

INTRODCCTORT. 

I.  Th4  FrincipU  of  OoiiMtruction  of  ih$  Perional 
''ame  anion;  Aryan  PeopUt.—lt  now  Beema  well 
itablished  that  the  ancient  normal  form  of  personal 
lamc  among  all  Aryan  peoples,  with  the  exception 
tt  the  lifitia,  was  that  of  a  compoand  of  two  ele- 
ments, joioed  to  each  other  according  to  the  rules 
of  composition.      A   very    wide    inauction,   eni- 
bracing  the  earliest  forma  of  names  current  among 
Aryan  raoea,  has  yielded  this  important  generali- 
fiatioD.     Thus,  to  take  a  widely  spread  form,  con- 
tAining  in  one  of  its  elements  kritta  (root  kr^,  to 
~tear)  =  pmiEed,  diatin^uidbed,  we  have  the  foUow- 
ig :   Sanskrit    (^rutnkormaD,    yruta-deva,   Pari- 
ruta ;  Zend   Cruto-ijradh  ;   Greek   KAvTo-yuijfijjs 
ixtik.  r  represented  by  Greek  A),  Gco-kAito? 
_:f.  Latininc/u(«fl)j    Old  Welsh  Clotri  (=Cluto. 
ix) ;  Old  German  Hlnd-berht  (orijfinal  i;=Oenn. 
i),  HIud-wiR  (of.  English  loud).     And,  from  the 
srime  root  kru,  the  Slavonic  Slovo(Sanak.  Q'ravas), 
found  in  Slaro-bot  (original  i=3lavouic  a),  Slnvo- 
XDir,  &c. 

If.  The  Nature  of  iJu  }i!Ununt$. — The  elements 
rfitering  into  tlie  ancient  penonol  n.ime,  although 
notiaken  iodilTerentlyfrom  the  current  vocabulary, 


migiit  be  aDj  of  the  parts  of  speech  which  can  be 
jowed  together  to  form  intelligible  compounds. 
Thus  they  might  be  rerbs,  adverbs,  prepositioiiJ(| 
adjectire.^  or  nouns.  Abundant  instances  will 
occur  further  on.  Of  the  compound  names  thus 
formed  one  dement  may  be  restricted  exclusively 
to  the  beginning,  and  the  other  to  the  end  of  the 
name,  or  they  may  both  be  pUce^l  tndiffi-rently  at 
the  end  or  the  beginning.  To  take  instanoes  from 
the  Greek,  we  have  examples  of  these  three  eaaos 
in  Upo-KX.TJ'if  *AiTt-ioos, 'Apij-iir7ro9,  and  *Inr- 
apxos,  in  which  irpo  is  exclusiTely  confined  to  the 
beginning  of  a  name,  foof  to  the  end,  while  ap\oi 
and  iV^of  may  appear  indiflercatly  at  the  beginoing 
or  end. 

The  words  selected  for  name  composition,  while 
covering  a  wide  area  in  point  of  meaning,  are 
sufficiently  definite  in  character  to  snggeet  a  prin- 
ciple in  their  adoption.  The  prominence  given  in 
this  selection  to  words  connected  with  battle  is 
suggestive  of  the  warlike  character  of  our  Aryan 
forefathers.  Compare  the  Sanskrit  compounds  of 
jtya  (rictorr)— Joya-cnndra,  Ja^a-datta — with  the 
numerous  Greek  names  contniniag  N(ko-  (such  aa 
^iKo-pov\oSt  NiAo-^i^/iO?,  *At^/>'^-vlKo?),  and  the 
many  Old  German  forms  made  up  of  Hild-,  Gund*. 
Had-,  Bad-,  and  Wig-  (all  expressions  for  war  and 
battle),  together  with  the  various  Oeltio  names 
formed  of  Catu-,  the  equation  of  German  Had-^^ 
such  aa  Old  Gaulish  Caturix*  Old  WeUh  C»W' 
gnalntyr,  Old  Irish  Gatb-uial,  Catb-mug,  &c  ' 

Next  in  importance  are  the  words  representing 
various  animals,  chiefly  those  remaiksble  for  their 
ferocity,  strength,  or  swiftness.  TheHe  were  doubt- 
less originally  adopted  on  account  of  their  reflecting 
the  characters  of  those  upon  whom  they  were  im- 
posed. For  example,  we  have  from  the  stem  variat 
(=wolO,  Sanskrit  Vrka-karman,  Greek  ArK<U| 
ifipDij  &c.,  Slavonic  Vlko-slav,  Old  German  Walfi- 
hart,  Wolf-bado,  &c.  Compare  also  the  many 
names  made  up  of  hltid  (=:wolf)  in  Old  Welth, 
Bleid-iud,  Bleid-cuf,  The  horse  also  furnishes  a 
large  number  of  names  among  all  Aryan  peoples. 

A  large  clasi  is  built  up  of  words  indicative  of 
physical  qualities,  conformation,  colour,  &c.    Fitr 
examole,  we  have  from  magha,  big,  Sanskrit  Mahi^ 
bala,  Mah^-manofl,  &o.;  Greek  M()'a-6')'/ii>;,  Mcyil*^ 
ffA»/;;  Ancient  Gaulish  Mogio-rix;  Old  German 
Mngin-hart,  &c. 

Another  large  class  is  built  up  of  words  bearing 
upon  social  relationB.  For  example,  from  kdru^ 
dear,  we  have  Sanskrit  Caru-citm,  Caru^jravn"!, 
Su-caru*  (i«=good,  well);  Ancient  G.iulish  Veni- 
caruB,  Armorican  Hen-car  and  Ho-car ;  Old  Irisli 
Tuath-char,  Kind-char.  To  this  class  belong  alsO' 
the  names   indicating   ohieftainship,   such  as   all 


*  Thtt  name,  u  Fiok  pointa  out,  may  well  have  been

compounris  coDtaininc  represootatlrea  of  Ihe  at^m 
rhga  (=king],  e.g.,  Sanskrit  Kija-dtuvriuaa,  Old 
Gaulish  Catu  rix,  Old  Welflh  Clot-ii»  Old  German 
Had-ricb,  Hlud-ricb. 

The  ancient  culius  of  the  A^rjan  peoples  is  repre- 
sented by  numerous  names  involving  one  or  other 
of  tbe  many  deities  hononrcd  amoni;  tbero.  There 
occurs  to  one  in  tbia  connexion  the  host  of  Sanskrit 
nameBCODtftinbgDeva(=God),sucbasDev[L-gupta, 
DeTa'bbnga,  m  one  of  their  comruoo  elements, 
and  the  equally  nnmeroas  Greek  compounds  in- 
▼olving  Ofot,  auch  as  t)t:6-{iovko%,  G€ri-£w/>o«.  The 
Old  German  names  Godefrid,  Goda-scalc,  Donar- 
perht,  Anabalm,  Ansowald,  &c.,  belong  to  the 
same  doss,  as  do  the  Ancient  Gaulish  Devo-gnata, 
Bivitiacus,  and  the  many  Slavonic  componnda  of 
Bogit  (=God),  Bohu-bud,  Bogo-dan,  Bogu-alav. 

The  very  diversified  character  of  the  nunics  not 
iooluded  in  tbe  foregotnc  divisions  renders  their 
cliusiBcatioQ  difiBcult.  This  will  be  made  clear  in 
the  instances  to  be  adduced  in  these  notes  further 
on. 

III.  Modifying  Infl\taicet  of  Time  upon  Ptr- 
»onal  Names. — Under  the  terms  *'  weatherinp," 
"phonetic  decay  "  &c,  we  have  the  expression  of 
a  modifying  inliuence  to  which  personal  names,  as 
well  as  all  other  words,  are  subject  in  tbe  course 
of  the  centuries.  The  laws  under  wbit^h  this  in- 
fluence is  effective  have  been  fairly  well  elicited, 
and  decayed  modern  names  may,  for  ihe  most 
part,  be  rehabilitated  by  the  light  of  these  laws, 
and  restored  to  their  ancient  forms,  while  the 
names  in  use  in  one  branch  of  tbe  Aryan  family 
may  be  strictly  tquattd  with  their  representatives 
in  another. 

The  methodical  Investigation  of  articulate  speech 
and  of  phonetic  change  hiu  led  to  the  laying  down 
of  these  laws,  and  made  a  icienee  of  languaffe  pos- 
sible, thus  rtmoving  philological  research  from  the 
region  of  fntile  guesswork  in  wbich  it  fonuerly 
puzzled  ilaelf.  The  phonological  laws  of  tbe  Aryan 
family  of  speech,  fairly  establisbed  us  they  are, 
enable  us  to  determine  how  certain  sounds  in  one 
branch  of  the  family  are  represented  by  certain 
sounds  in  another,  and  to  lay  down  the  limitations 
of  the  particular  changes  of  sound  which  are  per- 
missible within  each  of  the  members  themselves. 

Thus  it  can  be  clearly  shown  that  the  Aryan  stem 
akv^i  (horse)  is  strictly  represented  in  tbe  following 
nomee  :  Sanskrit  A^va-ghosha,  A^vo-cakra;  Zend 
A^p&yaodba ;  Old  Tenian  A^pa-caoa,  'Atnra- 
oa-njs;  Greek  'lirTro-Kpdrrj'i;  Old  Gauliali  Epo- 
redii :  Irish  £och-aidh. 

Tbe  modern  lineal  representatives  of  ancient 
persunnl  names  in  any  branch  of  tbe  Aryan  family 
of  laD^jnage  can  be  thus  traced  out,  their  successive 
farms  beini;  determined  deBoitely  hy  the  laws  of 
phonetic  ohtiDge  which  povern  tbe  speech  in  which 
the  names  occur. 
Apart  from  the  cbcitgea  ill  tuunes  Irootht  about 


by  phonetic  decay — arising  chiefly  from  economy 
of  utterance  begotten  of  laziness — oonaiderable 
modificfttioDs  ore  produced  by  tbe  tendency  to 
shorten  names  in  the  way  of  endearment  and 
familiarity.  This  is  one  of  the  most  important 
influences  in  name  modification,  and  has  oeen  at 
work  from  a  very  early  period.  Kick  was,  I  be- 
lieve, the  first  to  point  out  the  great  number  of 
names  nmontr  every  Aryan  people  which  wcr«  thus 
modified.  These  endearment-forms  {koufomnn 
or  kos(n<iinen)  constitute  a  considerable  portion  of 
the  personal  names  which,  having  been  made  stir- 
names,  have  come  down  to  this  day,  and  the  sub- 
ject, therefore,  merits  somewhat  extended  traat- 
ment,  Edmqnd  McClcrk,

SPANISH  N0TE8. 

I  had  intended  to  pass  the  late  winter  in 
aiad  hoped  from  time  to  time  to  communicate 
Spanish  traditions  and  customs  to  "  X.  &  Q. 
Circumstances,  however,  obliged  me,  after  two  or 
three  weeks  partly  spent  at  Sevtllo,  to  return  to 
France,  and  in  that  short  time  I  could  gather  bnt 
little  that  would  interest  your  readerf.  I  wsfl 
able,  however,  in  travelling  to  jot  down  a  few  stray 
notes. 

1.  All  of  OS  have  heard  of,  and  some  may  haT» 
seen,  tbe  Spanish  lover  talking  to  bis  *'  ]ady«  fiui * 
at  the  grated  window,  or  serenading  heron  the 
twansing  guitar.  This  cold-catching  amusement 
is  called  "eating  iron"  (** comer  el  hierro")  or 
"plucking  tbe  tuikey "(^'pelar  la  pava'').  Most 
people  have  probably  thought  as  I  did,  that  Iheie 
young  men  and  maidens  braved  rheumatism  and 
chills  (for  tho  wind  is  cutting  enough  sometimes, 
even  in  Andalusia)  for  the  sake  of  a  romantic 
colloquy  undisturbed  by  any  listeners  but  the 
moon,  confidant  already  of  so  many  secrets,  and 
never  known  to  have  betrayed  them.  I 
often  seen  these  enamoured  couples  at  Mala^ 
years  gone  by,  and  imagined  no  other  reason 
their  airy  oonfabulatioDs.  In  one  case  I  remember 
at  Seville  the  lady  was  aloft  in  a  second- floor 
window,  so  that  the  couimonications  interchanged 
could  not  be  "  whispered  nothings."  Nevertbelesr. 
to  my  surprise,  evening  after  evening  the  entranced 
pair  were  to  be  seen  at  their  noata,  gazing  on  each 
other  and  talking  sweet  nothings  when  the  stray 
paascr-by  bad  turned  tbe  comer.  Possessed  with 
this  idea  I  had  never  inquired  into  the  origin  of 
such  a  common  custom,  which  prevails,  it  may  be 
said,  among  the  better  classfs  and  rarely  auosg 
tbe  poor. 

But  last  antnmn,  when  tbe  convenation  tnmrd 
upon    the    subject   one  dsy,    T    was  assured   by 
s;n«ninr.U   ibst  thls    €Xterior    flifta^t-^* 
no  way   to  romnnce  or 
by  moonlight.      The  rest:.. 


<,  and 

>nnn 


I 


thb.  The  jonng  man  ontstde  it  otitride  bMtuae, 
thoDgh  be  snowB  the  lady,  be  doea  oot  know  her 
f^miij.  At  church  or  ia  the  streeU  the  telegraph 
of  the  eyes  and  of  the  Sau  baa  beeo  at  work,  and 
an  acqa&intance  has  been  efttabliahed ;  but  as  the 
swaio  is  a  stranger  to  the  lady's  reUtions,  the  io- 
t«rriew8  can  naturally  only  take  place  at  the  window. 
If,  however,  after  a  oerbdn  amount  of  sighing 
«ud  guitar  strumming  (which  Utter,  one  mav  men- 
tion, ia  quite  going  out  of  fasbiouj,  the  acquaintance 
ctpena  into  something  serious,  the  lover  tben  finds 
<neanB  of  being  presented  in  due  form  to  the 
family.  But  from  the  moment  he  enters  the  door 
of  the  boose  romance  flies  away  from  the  window. 
The  love-making  is  henceforth  conducted  indoors 
in  as  maiter-of-f'tiot  a  fashion  as  in  other  countries. 
So  far  my  informants  :  it  would  be  cnrtous  to  bear 
what  any  Spanish  correspondent  would  volunteer 
/>n  the  subject. 

2.  When  All  Bonis*  Day  comes  round,  with  its 
raemoriea  of  the  vacant  chairs  at  every  fireside,  it 
is  the  custom  for  moat  of  the  Madrid  theatres  to 
give  Hon  Giovanni  for  a  night  or  two  before,  and 
on  the  day  itself !  An  article  in  one  of  the  pspers 
enggeated  as  the  reason  that  the  opening  grave, 
the  ghostly  visitant,  the  anrcpentant  Don  and  his 
iiaplesa  victims  are  a  fitting  accompxniment  to  the 
supernatural  thoughts  of  the  season.  It  appears 
straogo  to  us  to  evoke  at  such  a  time  the  spirits 
of  the  unhappy  and  '*  aDasaoilzted,'*  and  not  those 
of  the  happy  dead. 

3.  Spiritualism  has  its  votaries  in  some  parts  of 
Spain  and  has  made  great  progress.  On  inquiring 
about  ghosts  I  received  the  same  answer  in  two 
towns :  "  Ob,  yes !  there  are  plenty  of  spirits  that 
talk  to  people  and  people  to  them."  Ghosts,  how- 
«Ter,  as  usual  abroad,  seemed  not  to  be  in  demand, 
and  the  supply  was  consequently  nil.  Unearthly 
ooiaea  are  all  I  have  heard  of  at  Valencia,  Mantua, 
Como,  Venice,  Cairo,  &g.  Ghosts  are  an  unknown 
<juantity  almost  in  Homau  Catholic  countries, 
while  they  favour  every  old  bouse  in  Protestant 
lands.  Perh&p*,  by  the  way,  E.  H.  B.,  with  whom 
I  have  the  pleasure  of  a  slight  acquaintance,  would 
^ve  some  exporienoea  of  Italian  traditions  on  this 
point.  It  seema  strange  that  with  such  ghastly 
memories  as  haunt  so  many  castles  and  palaces  in 
Italy  none  of  the  cruelly  murdered  dead  cares  to 
come  buck  to  the  '^  paradise  of  Europe."  Massimo 
D'Azeglio  declares  that  ghosts  are  only  seen  in 
foggy  climes,  not  under  sunny  skies.  But  it  ia 
aorely  an  odd  choice  for  them  to  revisit  the 
auioke  and  mists  that  most  Korthemera  and 
EogUsfamen  try  to  escape  from,  unless,  indeed, 
obey  come  for  coolness,  as  we  go  to  tbe  South  for 
wsrmth.  K.  H.  B. 

AX  nVPtrBLlSHED  LETTEtt  OF  JOHN  WESLEY. 

Not  long  ago  I   was  reading   Sontbey's   Life 

0/    irw/ry,   ftnd     net,    in    chapter  xxix.,    with 


that  for  which  I  wa^  io  search,  for  I  have  a  long 
statement  written  by  "John  WeUley"  (thus  be 
signs  bimaelf),  which  was  formerly  the  property 
of  tbe  biographer,  and  from  which  are  inserted 
in  this  chapter  several  extracts.  I  do  not  think 
the  MS.  hiw  ever  yet  been  published  %n  extensOf 
and  for  that  reason,  as  well  as  for  it4  interest, 
I  submit  it  to  the  readers  of  "  N.  &  Q.":— 

Tn  June,  17-14,  I  desired  mjr  Brother  nni  *  fevr  other 
Clifr^rmen  to  meet  Die  in  hondon,  to  cuira-iler  liotr  wo 
ihould  pricifeJ  to  tmre  our  own  louli  »n<l  tliove  that 
lieBrd  U0.  Art<T  some  time,  I  invited  tbe  Uy  Preftcbers 
tliftt  were  in  ibe  house  lo  meet  with  ui.  We  conferred 
together  for  teroral  dsys,  and  were  muob  comforted  and 
ntrt^rigtliened  tiier>rby. 

'I'he  next  year  1  not  only  incited  moat  of  tlie  trarelllng 
Prou:lierf,  hut  wTonil  uthers  to  cuafer  with  me  in 
Briitol.  And  from  tbai  timu  for  some  years,  thoutjlt  I 
itirited  only  a  part  of  tbe  trareliing  Preavheri,  yet  I 
pcrmtttcd  any  tu«t  desire  J  it,  to  lie  preeent^  uut  ap* 
prendiDg  eny  ill  oonKqaenc^^s  therefrom. 

But  two  UI  oonsequencei  toon  ufipenred.  One,  tliat 
the  expence  was  too  great  to  ha  horns :  ths  othnr.  tbat 
many  of  our  people  were  ic&ttcroJ  wliile  they  Wf-re  toft 
witliouc  a  SliephenL  I  therefore  detcrmrnt-d,  1.  That 
for  the  time  t*  come,  none  shuuM  be  present  but  those 
nhimi  I  invited;  and,  2,  That  I  woald  only  iuvtte  a 
•elect  nnmber  out  of  every  Circuit. 

This  I  did  for  many  years,  and  all  tbat  time  the  term 
Conference  meant  not  so  much  the  conversation  ne  bad 
together  a«  tbe  porsoni  that  conferred;  namely,  tboio 
whom  I  invited  to  oonrer  with  me  from  time  to  time, 
tio  that  all  this  time  it  depended  on  mo  alone,  nut  only 
what  persons  should  constitute  the  Cunference,  but 
whether  there  should  be  any  Conference  ut  all  lay  wholly 
in  my  own  breast ;  neither  the  Prekcbers  nor  the  people 
haring  any  part  or  lot  in  the  matter. 

Someyeare  after,  it  was  agreed,  that  after  tbe  deosasa 
of  my  Brother  and  me,  tl.o  Prcachen  should  he  st&- 
lioDcd  by  tlie  Conference.  But  ere  li.nif  a  question 
arose,  what  does  that  term  mean  ?  Who  are  the  Conrer- 
ence  1  It  appeared  dilfiouU  to  define  the  term.  And 
the  year  boNTC  la^t  alt  our  brethren  who  were  met 
at  Bristol,  des'red  me  to  fix  the  dutarrainato  moaning  uf 
the  word.  Hitherto  it  bad  meant  not  the  whole  body  of 
travelling  Preachers,  it  neTcr  bore  that  meaning  at  all ; 
hilt,  those  persona  whom  1  invited  yearly  tu  confer  with 
uio.  But  to  this  tbsre  was  a  palpable  objection  :  such  a 
Conference  would  hare  no  being  afier  dea  h.  And 
what  other  definition  of  it  to  give  I  know  not :  at  Itast 
I  knew  none  that  would  stand  in  law,  I  consulted  a 
sitilful  and  honest  attoniey.and  he  consulted  an  eminent 
Couiivellor,  who  aniwured,  There  is  no  way  of  doing  this 
but  by  naming  a  determinate  number  of  persons.  The 
Deed  which  names  these  must  be  enrolled  in  Chancery. 
Then  it  will  stand  good  in  law. 

My  first  thought  was  to  name  a  very  few,  lupjMHe  ten 
or  twelve  persons.  Count  Zinzendurf  named  only  six 
who  were  to  preside  over  the  Community  after  bis 
Uecea^e.  But  on  second  thoughts  I  believed  there 
would  be  more  safety  in  agrrater  number  of  Counfeltort, 
and  therefore  named  an  hundred,  as  many  as  I  judged 
could  meet  without  loo  great  an  eipence,  and  without 
Iraving  any  Circuit  naked  of  Preachers  while  the  Con- 
ference met. 

In  naming  these  Preschers,  as  I  had  no  adviser,  so  I 
had  no  respect  of  persons,  hut  !  simply  set  down  those 
that,  suioordirg  to  (he  te^t  of  my  judgment,  were  most 
proper.  But  1  am  not  infallible.  1  might  mistake^  and 
think  better  of  some  of  them  than  they  deserved.    How-

rueruDt,"  and  amno^  these  occurs  "  Tiirris  de 
Lilborne,  Joh'is  Curr."  To  this  no  clue  has 
hitherto  been  given,  bat  the  following  notes  are 
intercAting  : —

TUos.  Carre,  by  his  attorney,  vtrtut  Thos.  Kerel, 
yeoman,  by  whose  carelessness  Carre's  bouse  as. 
Lilburo  was  totally  destroyed  by  Ore,  to  the 
damage  of  402. 

This  looks  OS  if  John  Carr  of  Lilbora  died 
between  SS  ond  88  Hen.  VI.,  and  makes  it  very 
anlikcly  that  **alir|uanto  postea"  waa  later  than 
this.  Isalella  was  perhaps  an  heiress  of  the  Lil- 
burns.  West  Lilburn  went  afterwards  to  Proctors. 
The  first  Proctor  in  the  Visitation  entry  of  1615 
married  Isabella,  daughter  of  John  Lilbome,  of 
Alnwick.  Can  any  one  throw  light  on  this  I<ilbiirD

Parisd  DoccjtK>T3.— It  15  hos  been  said,  in 
answer  to  one  of  the  arguments  in  favour  of  Me. 
Borlase's  Bill  for  the  safe  custody  of  parish  re- 
gisters, that  the  state  of  things  is  changed,  and 
that  there  can  be  no  question  now  that  every  care 
is  taken.  A  tithe  map  with  the  scheme  for  nppot* 
tioomeat  is  not  bo  valuable  as  an  ancient  register, 
because  it  ciin  bo  replaced  if  lost ;  but  the  fol- 
lowing cose,  before  the  magistrates  at  VVoodbridge, 
as  well  as  my  own  private  experience,  may  serve 
to  show  that  catxat  cannot  be  safely  nbandon&d  as 
the  motto  of  any  one  who  is  interested  in  the  pre- 
servation of  parish  muniments.  In  the  Quardian^

WnO     WAS     EaUIOARDA      DE     DONBAR?  — Ofl 

June  26, 1304,  the  valet  of  Sir  Patrick  de  Dirabar, 
son  of  the  EarlofMurch,  receives  a  cask  of  new  wine 
for  the  Lady  Ertnigardo,  consort  of  Sir  Patrick,  who 
)H  pregnant  (Exch.  Q.  R.  Misc.,  H.M.  Record  OfRcel. 
The  Karl  of  March  was  Patrick  de  Dunbar,  eighth 
Earl  of  Dunbar,  one  of  the  ctuimaots  of  the  crown 
of  Scotland,  August  3,  1291.  He  was  the  5rst  of 
the  family  styled  "Enrl  of  March."  and  held,  like 
his  ancestors,  threat  possessions  in  Northumberland, 
for  which  be  hnd  to  do  homage  to  the  king  of  Eng* 
land.  In  the  Roll  of  Caerltirerock  he  appears  as 
"CoDte  de  Laonoia,"  Earl  of  Lothian  (not  Lennox, 
aa  Mr.  Thomas  Wright  erroneously  calls  bim  in 
his  version  of  the  Roll  of  Citerlaverock,  p.  14, 
note  G).  The  above  Sir  Patrick,  eldest  soo  of  the 
earl,  was  present  at  Ihe  siege  of  C;LerliiTerock  with 
bifl  father  in  July,  1300,  when  only  sixteen  years 
of  age.  He  seems  to  have  married  the  Lady 
Ennigarda  when  in  hi^  twentieth  year.  He  suc- 
ceed^ his  father  on  October  10,  1308.  He  re- 
ceived Edward  II.  in  Dunbar  Castle  after  his 
defeat  at  Bannockburn  on  June  24,  1314  (pro- 
bably because  there  waa  an  English  garrison  in 
the  castl«X  He  had  a  dispensation  from  Pope 
John  XXir.  on  January  IC,  1324,  for  his  marriage 
with  his  cooaio  Agoes,  daughter  of  Sir  Thomas 
Randolph,  6rat  Earl  of  Moray.  This  lady  was  the 
celebrated  "  Black  Agnes  of  Dunbar,"  who  success- 
fully defended  her  husband's  castle  of  Dunbar 
against  the  EogUab  during  the  siege  of  nineteen 
weeka  in  1338,  and  who  became  heir  to  her 
brother  John  Randolph,  third  Eiirl  of  Moray,  on 
October  17,  134G.  After  David  II.'s  release  from 
captivity  he  conferred  Ihe  earldom  of  Moray  on 
Patrick  de  Dunbar,  Eur!  of  March  (buaband  of 
Black  Agnes),  who  resigned  the  earldom  of  March 
in  favour  of  his  eon  George.    The  resignation  was 


coDiirined  July  25,  13R7.  This  George  Dunbar^ 
tenth  ei^rl,  was  son  of  Block  Agnes.  The  I^dy 
Krmigarda  seems  to  have  been  a  person  of  con- 
sideration, bat  she  does  not  appear  in  any  occonnt 
of  the  family.  If  she  bad  a  son  he  wua  probably 
called  Patrick  and  died  young.  The  question  is, 
Who  was  the  Lady  Ermigarda  to  whom  Edward  L 
appears  to  have  sent  a  cask  of  new  wine  in  1304  ?

without  title-page  or  dute)  in  the  library  of  the 
British  Museum.     lb  gives  the  approximate  posi- 
tions of  the  planets,  &c  ,  for  the  years  1609  to 
1617,  which  the  author  states  that  he  had  cal- 
culated by  means  of  the  observations  of  Tych» 
Brahe  (or  Brah,  as  Series   incorrectly  cpells  it),

In   an   excellent   work    by   M.   Souchon   (TVaiVi

The  Miraob.— Q.  Curtiua  Rufus,  in  dewribing^ 
the  passage  of  Alexander's  iirmy  through  tho 
*Moca  deserta  Susitanorum "  before  arriving  at 
the  0x119,  m:tkes  mention  of  the  mirage  which 
waa  there  observed  :  "Arenas  vapor  icstivi  solit 
accendit,  quiE  ubi  tl.igrare  ctrpernnt,  baud  secuB 
quam  continent!  Incendio  cuncta  torrentur.  Caligo 
deinde  immodico  tcrne  fervore  excitata  lucem 
tegit :  camporumqtie  oon  alia,  quam  vasti  et  pro- 
fundi .-cquoris  species  est"  (lib.  vii.  cap.  5).  It 
waa  in  this  desert  that  Alexander  nobly  refused, 
like  David,  the  profTered  draught  of  water.  What 
other  early  ooticea  are  there  of  the  mirage  ;  and 
when  did  the  French  term  mirage  (from  French 
mirer,  I^itin  mirari)  come  into  EngUiibase?  It 
is  not  in  Johnson,  1785.  Sir  D.  Brewster,  on 
the  authority  of  Humboldt  (Personal  Narrativf,

THE  FESTIVAL  OF  THE  POPE'S  CHAIE. 
(6*"  S.  vii.  47.  72,  90,  no.  IBl,  210.) 

1  cannot  but  regret  llmt  Mihs  BrsK  should  have 
thought  fit  to  impart  bo  much  personality  into  the 
discussion  of  the  question  of  the  origin  of  the 
Cathedra  Petri  The  readers  of  ';N.  &  Q."  can 
hardly  be  expected  to  take  much  interest  in  the 
question  whether  my  "  lalioured  argument "  was  or 
was  not  "  a  quite  gratuitous  piece  of  parlisanship.'^ 
The  only  question  about  which  they  are  likely  to 
concern  themselves  is  whether  tbo  argument  is  or 
is  not  convincing. 

But  writing,  as  I  did,  a  memoir  to  be  published 
by  the  Society  of  Antiquariejs  a  body  whith  com- 
prises many  Roman  Catholics  in  its  circle,  it  would 
have  been  very  improper  for  me  to  have  written 
in  a  partisan  spirit.  I  trust  that  I  did  not  do  lo, 
but  placed  impnrtiully  before  my  readers  the 
evidence  which  I  could  gather,  and  commented  oa

it  in  a  fnir  and  dtspasaiooate  spirit.  I  do  not  think 
thftt  I  ought  to  be  charfjed  with  having  done  the 
contrary  tinlesn  on  very  stronfj  grounds. 

It  mttst  be  remembered  that  there  are  three 
queationB  to  be  considered:  first,  that  of  the  date 
nod  origin  of  the  chair  itself;  secood,  that  of  those 
of  the  nttoched  pieces  of  wood  ;  third,  that  of 
tbose  of  the  attached  tablets  of  ivory.  Nov,  as 
regards  the  6rat  and  third  of  these,  the  dif- 
ferences between  my  views  and  thuse  of  Comin. 
dc  Rossi  and  P^dre  Garracci  are  so  insigni- 
ficant as  not  to  be  worth  mention;  I  really  did 
little  more  than  report  tbeir  opinioos  and  ex- 
press my  agreeioeot  with  them.  As  regards  the 
second  qiieittion,  that  of  the  date  and  origin  of  the 
attached  pieces,  I  abstained  from  pronouncing  any 
opinion  of  my  own,  but  gave  in  the  appendix  the 
words  of  the  two  distinguished  arcba^l'^gists  above 
named,  both  of  whom  consider  the  attached  pieces 
to  be  reraitins  of  an  earlier  "sella  gestatoria."  I 
evenmadeasnggestioD  (vide  Afi*moir,  p.  IG)  tending 
to  support  their  hypothesis.  Could  I  have  acted 
less  like  a  partisan  or  more  impartially  1  Afy  own 
optoion  is  that  ihey  are  merely  supports,  added  to 
strengthen  the  chair,  and  I  recently  gave  my  rea- 
sons for  thinking  so  in  '*N.  &  Q.,"  where  I  felt  at 
liberty  to  aaj  what  I  thought. 

If  Miss  Bt7SK  can  controvert  my  reasoning  as 
to  these  pieces,  yoa  will  probably  allow  her  to  do 
so  in  your  columns.  I  should  observe  that  Miss 
BuSR  is  inaccurate  in  saying  that  the  Koman 
antiquaries  were  "  of  opinion  that  the  remains  of 
the  ancient  chair  hare  been  worked  into  the  newer 
one  ";  this  is,  of  course,  a  possibility,  but  no  one 
bos,  so  far  as  I  know,  hitherto  suggested  it.  What 
they  do  say  is  that  the  att^Mched  pitctt  are  piirts  of 
the  ancient  chair.  Mies  Bosk  states  that  I  "  ven- 
ture to  assert  that  there  was  no  living  tradition 
till  Commendatorc  de  Rossi  invented  it.^  I  do 
say  so  as  regards  the  aii<uJud  pUcc$;  it  would  have 
been  highly  absurd  if  I  bad  said  so  with  reference 
to  the  Cathedra  Petri  after  buviog  published  a 
number  of  proof;!  that  the  contrary  was  the  fact. 
Miss  Bosk  is  in  error  when  she  says  that  I  eagerly 
seized  upon  the  conjecture  of  Padre  Gorrucci  that 
the  imperial  figure  represented  Oharlea  the  Bnld, 
and  improved  ii  *'  into  the  statement  ihut  Gamicci 
was  strongly  of  opinion  that  the  chair  was  made 
for  Charles  the  Bald's  coronation."  In  the  passage 
which  she  has  misquoted  (p.  13  of  the  Afemoir)  I 
did  not  name  Padre  Gamicci  at  all,  but  made  the 
suggestion  on  my  own  responsibility  aa  a  not  im- 
probable supposition.  Neither  did  I  assert  the 
existence  of  any  "  legend  "  that  Charles  the  Bald's 
portrait  was  sent  to  Constantinople,  but  merely 
■aid  that  the  fact  of  the  existence  of  a  portrait  of 
tba  emperor  did  not  prove  that  the  carving  was 
eioeated  in  Italy,  as  a  portrait  might  have  been 
sent  "to  the  city  where  the  throne  wns  con- 
structed.'*    My  reference  to  the  "  once   humble 


hisbop  "  was  not  intended  to  give  offence,  nor  do 
I  think  it  ought  to  do  so.  No  one,  I  suppose, 
believes  that  the  relative  positions  of  popes  and 
emperors  were  the  same  in  the  second  ana  in  ihe 
twelfth  centuries.  My  only  object  was  to  call 
attention  to  the  interest  attaching  to  ihe  throne  as 
an  "  outward  and  visible  sign  "of  the  change  which 
hod  come  to  pass.  If  Miss  Busk  likes  to  set  up 
the  theory  that  the  chair  was  made  for  the  use  of 
the  Pope,  and  the  relics  of  the  older  chair  "iaoor- 
poratea  into  it,"  it  is,  of  course,  free  to  her  to  do 
so;  but  she  will  have  to  explain  the  absence  of 
any  religious  symbols  in  the  decoration  and  the 
presence  of  the  imperial  effigy. 

Surely  it  is  futile  to  enter,  as  Miss  Bvsk  does, 
npon  (i  priori  considerations  as  to  whether  the  ex- 
istence of  a  relic  is  or  is  not  probable.  Unless  relics 
are  held,  like  certain  ancient  documents,  to  prove 
themselves,  the  authenticity  of  any  given  relic 
must  be  believed  in  or  not  in  accordance  with  Ibe 
internal  and  external  evidence  which  it  affords  or 
which  can  be  brought  forward.  The  late  Pope 
Pins  IX.f  I  have  been  assured  on  excellent 
authority,  acted  on  this  principle,  and  caused  many 
spurious  or  doubtful  relics  to  be  withdrawn  from 
public  veneration. 

As  to  the  ivory  earrings  I  will  not  say  much. 
Coram,  de  Rossi  and  Pudre  Gamicci,  who  hare  sees 
both  the  originals  and  the  drawings  made  froni 
them,  hare  expressed  their  opinions  as  to  their 
dates,  with  which  opinions  I  agree. 

I  have  given  in  the  Mimoir  published  by  ib» 
Society  of  Antiquaries  luy  reasons  for  ncqniesi  ~ 
in  the  opinions  of  those  eminent  Romun  ai 
quories,  and  any  one  interested  in  the  subject 
easily  consult  it.  The  history  of  sculpture  in  i< 
during  the  first  twelve  centuries  of  our  era  cam 
be  dealt  with  in  a  few  paragraphs,  and  I  therefore 
will  not  undertake  to  answer  in  dct«il 
Bl'£<K'a  argntiient  as  to  the  dales  of  the  ivori 
the  Cathedra  Petri.  I  am  not  responsible  for 
dates  given  to  the  ivories  in  the  South  Keusin(_ 
Museum;  but  if  they  have  b«en  assigned  in' 
cordance  with  the  views  of  Mr.  Maskell  attil 
Prof.  Westwood  (the  former  of  whom  wrote  the 
Catahgne  of  Ivorit$y  and  the  latter  that  of  the 
Fictile  Iroritff  i.  e.  costs),  they  rest  On  lUft^ 
authority  of  men  who  have  thurouubly  studied 
subject,  and  who  are  far  more  likely  to  be 
than  those  to  whom  the  subject  is  new. 

Miss  hvBK  is  evidently  unaware  that  the 
B}z.intiue  manner  and  thai  of  what  ahe  t' 
facile  compositions  are  found  in  juxtapositioi

It  ifl  quite  true  that  I  bave  never  seen  the  chair; 
but  my  opinion  respecting  it  bos  been  formed 
upon  the  careful  dmwioft  by  Scnrdovellif  the  de- 
BcriptioDii  (^iven  by  Comm.  de  Roui  and  Pudre 
Oarrucoi,  the  reports  made  by  Curio  FontAna,  nod 
the  notices  to  be  found  in  the  works  of  Torrigio 
and  Febeo.  As  all  these  are,  or  were,  members  of 
the  church  of  Home,  their  testimonies  should  be 
more  satitifactory  to  Miss  Bu6K  than  any  personal 
testimony  from  me  oould  be.  As  to  the  date  when 
the  uhair  was  exposed  in  Rome,  Miss  BrsK  is 
right  and  I  am  wrong.  The  Pope  in  1866  an- 
nounced hia  intentioD  of  celebralinctheeighleeDtb 
centenary,  but  it  was  actually  celebrated  in  1867. 
Having;  uccidentally  got  the  wrong  date,  I  omitted 
to  Terify  it.  Alrx.  Nesbitt. 

A  friend  boa  sent  me  the  following  extract  from 
the  note  on  St.  Peter's  cbnir  in  the  second  edition 
of  Roma  Sottrrranea.  The  reference  is,  I  suppose, 
to  what  Mr.  Nesbitt  has  before  written  on  the 
subject  in  the  yctwUi  Monumenta:— 

"  Mr.  Nesbitt  sdniits  that  kII  Uiom  wIio  hare  de- 
•oribed  the  cb^ir  'agree  in  favinp  Ihat  the  rings  arc

eaten.  Perhaps  the  shortest  explanation  of  (he  matter

with  a  hiitory  of  lid  own,  but  fitted  into  each  oth^r  iDiiie

Lord  PnBaroN  and  the  Baronktct  op 
Graham  of  Ese  (6"  S.  vi.  408  ;  vit  98).— The 
singular  statements  made  by  Eiboxdkixe  under 
the  form  of  a  reply  to  a  query  concerning  the 
Lords  Preston,  which  bad  been  already  correctly 
answered  in  on  editorial  note,  warrant  my  askinfc 
space  for  a  few  words  of  notice  before  I  enter  upon 
the  wider  question,  which  I  had  loni;  since  been 
intending  to  open  in  the  pages  of  "  N.  &  Q."  as 
to  the  accuracy  of  the  received  accounts  of  the 
genealogy  of  the  Grahams  of  the  Dcbateable  Land. 

HinoNDELLE  must  have  gone  very  far  south 
indeed  with  his  congeners  to  escape  the  cold  and 
the  fioods  of  a  northern  winter  if  he  is  out  of  reach 
of  the  well-known  annual  issue  of  Sir  Bernsird 
Burke's  ruru'je  and  BurantUtgf,  If  he  b.id  but 
consulted  that  volume  before  penning  his  reply  he 
would  have  seen  that  the  obvious  reason  why  the 
baronetcy  of  Graham  of  TS»k  ia^  as  be  puts  it,  **not 
alluded  to  by  Burke  "  in  his  Extinct  Boronttciis  is 
that  Sir  Bernard  includes  it  among  the  existing 
titles  in  his  current  annual  volume.  Why  Uiroh-

to  himaelf,  but  no  holder  of  the  title  appears  to

March  25  iu  the  present  year,  induced  uie  to  r^l 
back  to  the  time  when  u  aimitur  circumstance  ~ 
occurred.  The  old  church  at  Crowborouf^b,  latel 
connected  with  Sir  H.  Fermor's  charity,  was  firsl 
opened  for  service  in  the  year  1744,  und  upon  re- 
ference to  an  alumnae  of  that  date  I  found  that 
Eaater  D.^y  bad  fallen  on  March  25,  and  I  have 
also  ascertained  that  there  has  not  been  a  similar 
occurrence  between  1744  and  1883.  Thia  cbturch 
was  pulled  down  last  year,  and,  having  been  i«> 
built,  it  has  been  arranged  that  the  Bishop  of  Chi- 
chester will  consecrate  it  on  the  third  day  of  the 
ensuing  month.  Thus  this  church  will  be  opened 
fur  the  second  time  when  Easter  and  Lady  Day 
have  been  coincident.  Your  correspondent  E.  F. 
(ante,  p.  2()0)  states  that  Easter  foil  on  March  25 
iu  the  years  lcr,3,  1G74,  1731,  and  1742,  &c;  bufc 
I  think  he  is  mistaken  as  to  his  dates,  for  I  find 
upon  reference  to  the  Prayer  Book  of  1662,  which 
gives  a  table  of  the  movable  feasts  from  1660  (0 
1700,  that  both  in  the  jears  1GC3  and  1G74  E»ater

A  SiLTBR  Chaucb  {6^  S.  vi.  346,  5-14).— In 
reply  to  Hirondellk's  query,  the  pitite  marked  sit 
thcKewGeneTft  Assay  Office  is  of  rare  occnrrence  in 
Ireland.  I  have  hod  opportuities)  of  asking  jewellers 
ID  Waterford,  Kilkenny,  and  Clonnicl,  ob  these 
pbices  were  in  the  neighbourhood  of  New  Geneva, 
and  I  hare  also  been  informed  by  the  silveraniilhs 
in  Dablin  and  Cork  through  whose  hiinda  large 
qaantitiea  of  plate  have  passed,  and  they  nil  sf^ree 
in  affirming  the  scarcity  of  silver  and  j^old  with 
the  Assuy  marks  used  there.  I  have  already,  in 
tho  Proceedings  of  tbe  Royal  Historical  and 
Archawlogical  Society  of  Ireland,  vol.  v.  No.  46, 
recorded  the  town  marks  used  by  the  muster  and 
wardens  of  the  goldsmiths  in  Cork  during  the 
seventeenth  century,  which  are  the  arms  of  the 
city,  a  ship  between  two  castles,  with  the  nmker'a 
iniiiuU  in  a  fourth  stamp,  and  have  identitied  a 
silver  ladle  as  having  been  made  by  Samuel 
Paotine,  who  was  warden  in  1678 and  master  1679; 
and  a  chalice  and  two  tankards  by  Kobert  Goble, 
who  was  master  in  IG94  and  again  in  1695;  and 
n  paten  by  Walter  Burnett,  warden  1694  and 
master  1700.  The  use  of  these  town  marks  pre- 
ceded tbe  "sterling"  mark  alluded  to  by  Mr. 
Wallis,  which  appeoni  to  have  come  into  general 
use  cirori  1720,  Mr.  Wulerbouse,  of  Dublin,  bos 
informed  me  that  he  has  seen  upon  old  Claddagh 
rings  mode  in  Qalwny  tbe  stamp  of  an  anchor. 
This  being  so  confirms  my  conjecture, and,  I  think, 
establishes  the  fact  that  the  anchor  was  used  as 
the  town  mnrk  on  Galway-made  plate.  F.S  A.

— I  have  seen  women  using  a  distaiT  in  Brittany 
— aa,  for  instance,  at  Andieroe  in  1804,  and  in 
the  Isle  of  Man  abont  1870,  On  the  west  coast 
of  thai  ialnod  I  mode  the  acquaintance  of  two 
oomcly  and  hardworking  girls.a  farmor's  dangbtere, 
who  were  wholly  clad  in  gannents  npun  and  woven 


by  themselves,  and  very  picturesijue  and  ttervice- 
able  Kirmeots  ibey  were,  too.  I  wonder  how  many 
girls  there  are  noff  in  tbe  world  to  whom  this  pmiae 
could  be  given.  A.  J.  M. 

ScrpoRTKRa  (6**  S.  TL  309,  620}.— I  regret  to- 
Bnd  that,  as  I  feared,  there  is  no  authority  forth- 
coming on  tbe  p<iint  I  raised,  viz.,  the  ri^kt  line  of 
daeent  for  the  "jealously  guarded  right"  (by  pre- 
scription) to  supporters.     Strix's  tjuotations  are 
not  in  point,  nor  is  that  of  Mr.  Davirs,    F,  S.  W. 
informs  us  that  "  the  right  to  bear  supporters  ia  aa 
well  defined  aa  the  right  to  bear  arms.     The  brood  I 
rule  is  that  nobody  is  entitled  to  one  or  the  other 
unless  he  can  show  bis  right  thereto  by  grant  from 
the  Crown,  which  is  tbe  fountain  of  all  honours. ' 
I  am  glad  that  to  F,  S.  W.  tbe  question  appears ! 
80  simple  ;  but  let  me  ask.  If  a  mun  marries  tbe ' 
heiress  of  a  family  pre»criptively  entitled  to  sup-  i 
porters,  what  happens  1     The  right  of  his  descend- 
ants to  quarter  their  arms    is    of   course    *'  well  i 
defined,*'  but  what  becomes  of  their  sapporten  }  ' 
Again,  according  to  F.  S.  W.,  "where  the  form 
of  the  gift  cannot  be  shown  they  will  pass  to  all  . 
the  male  descendnnts  [claiming  throu(;b  males)  of  j 
the  grantee  with  due  diflerences."    Surely  this  Is 
not  so.     I  cannot  think  that  they  would  pass  to 
younger  sons,  fur  they  always  distinguish  the  head 
of    the  bouse.      But   when  F.  S.  \V.  ptooeeds, 
"  Upon  failure  of  these  mate  descendants  female 
descendants  claiming  through  males  will  be  ad- 
mitted, and  upon  failure  of  these  female  desoend- 
anta  then  the  descendants  of  female  issue  of 
grantee  will  be  .admitted  in  like  order,"  1  fai 
follow  so  obscure  a  definition.     Either  they 
to  tbe  heir  of  line,  to  the  exclusion  of  the 
male  (t.  ;.,  claiming  through  males),  or  viee 
But  if  the  latter,  u«  1  suspect,  is  the  case,  Ih 
ri^bt  obviously  perishes  with  tbe  final  extln 
of  male  Hoe,  and  cannot  be  claimed   by  the  heir 
of  line  of  the  last,  or   any    previous,  heir  male. 
The  cose  of  coheiresses  would,  of  course,  further 
complicate   tbe   matter.      The  queetion^   without 
mentioning  names,  is,  to  my  knowledge,  a  praciieal 
one,  and  I  trust  it  may  not  be  allowed  to 
till  the  point  has  been  authoritatively  settled.

I  am  mach  obliged  to  Dii.  Cbakce  and  your 
other  correspondeatii  for  their  note*  on  this  word. 
What  *'lierne  vaultiDg"  is,  in  fact,  I  now  qaite 
understand,  and  the  next  time  X  go  up  to  Oxford 
I  shall  make  a  careful  ioapection  of  the  roof  of 
the  choir  at  Christ  Church.  The  derivation  of 
the  term  is  doubtful,  though  I  cannot  but  think 
it  must  in  some  waj  or  other  be  connected 
with  Her.  Can  Heme  be  a  mere  corruption  of 
lieniu  or  liane,  tirst  in  proQunciation  and  after- 
wards in  spelliog  also  ?  C.  S.  JfillBAU. 

**  Pkack  with  honour"  (6**"  S.  v,  31C,  496  ;  vi. 
136  ;  TiL  fi8}. — This  expression  seems  such  a  very 
simple  and  natural  one,  that  I  cannot  understand 
vthj  its  "  origin  "  should  be  an  object  of  research. 
But  as  it  hoA  been  the  subject  of  several  com- 
Diunications  to  "N.  &  Q  ,**  perhaps  it  may  be 
well  to  record  there  a  notice  sent  by  a  correspon- 
dent lo  the  Athen(rum  of  Oct  19,  1879,  who 
quotes  from  Defoe'a  Memoiu  of  a  Cavalier,  "  He 
[James  I.]  had  ratbet  spend  a  hundred  thousand 
pounds  in  embassies  to  procure  peace  with  dia- 
honour  than  ten  thousand  pounds  to  send  a  force 
to  procure  peace  with  honour."  Jatdbe.

peared lately  on  these  words,  I  send  the  following 
extract  from  the  Timet  Annnuil  ^uvimary  for

"Porta  SASCiTrn  von  fit"  (!••  S.  ix.  31)9  ;

to  inquire  into  the  earliest  use  of  the  phrase,  the 
first  notice  which  I  have  met  with,  in  which  it 
appear?  os  a  jfrovcrb,  is  iu  Cselius  Rhi>diginU8,  Lte-

poeta  nascatur,  orator  fiat,  sicuti  reccptum  vulgo 
est,  Deminem  ununi  posse  in  multis  cxceltero." 
And  there  is,  in  the  course  of  this  chapter,  "Vulgo 
certc  joctatur,  nasci  poetam,  oratorem  fieri."  The 
references  in  "  K.  &  Q.,"  u.».,  have  no  mention  of 
it  as  a  "proverb,"  but  as  a  sentiment  in  various 
writers,  more  or  less  exact.  Ca'lius  lived  ad.

*'Ro»m!fo  pBTRn  to  pay  Paul"  (4**'  S.  xii. 
166;    A*^  S,  il  3*2i:). — Looking  into  quaint  old 


Fuller's  Church  History  of  Britain,  edited  1655, 
I  find  that  in  his  history  of  Waltbam  Abbey,  p.  20, 
of  the  same  edition,  he  says: — 

"  IitM  for  talcing  the  lead  from  the  Chtrnel  House  and

— I  am  much  obliged  for  HsnuKNTRCDES  addi- 
tions in  the  way  of  marriages  to  my  De  Bohun

tion to  the  alteration  of  the  Christian  name,  frotu 
James  to  John,  of  the  husband  of  Joan,  daughter 
and  coheir  cf  William  de  Braose,  of  Gower,  for  in 
the  inquisition  taken  after  the  death  of  the  latter 
individual  (Inq.  p.tn.,  19  Edw.  IT.  No.  89)  it  is 
distinctly  stated  tlmt  his  heirs  are  Alino,  who 
was  the  wife  of  John  de  Moubniy,  and  John  de 
BohoQD,  son  and  heir  of  Joan,  who  was  the  wife  of

Armorial  Bearinob  ofthx  Border  FAMiLisa 
(C"*  S.  vi.  468  ;  vii.  193).— Stbix  is  unhappy  in 
citing  "Northumbrian  prickers  wild  and  rude  !  "  Is 
the  crescent  common  in  Northumbrtnn  arms  be- 
cause it  wM  the  device  of  the  Percies?  Ta  it 
common  at  all  i  Is  it  fonnd  to  be  homo  by  any 
family  of  note  there  except  the  Ogles,  who  are  noc 
very  likely  to  have  taken  their  crescents  from  the 
Percy  badRC  ?  Tiie  native  chief  who  heard  a  white 
man  say  that  from  the  creation  of  woman  man 
had  one  less  rib  than  woman,  proceeded  instuntiy 
to  verify  the  incautious  slutenicnt  by  an  examina- 
tion of  the  leanest  couple  at  hand  !  So  a  refer- 
ence to  the  nearest  authorities  shows  that  the 
crescent  is  a  very  rare  cbarge  in  Northuraber- 
laod.  But  there  is  no  need  to  imitate  the  native 
chief,  and  bcllGvo  nothing  more,  as  Strix  is 
correct  if  ho  altera  " device **  to  "charge,"  and 
tarries  amid  "  the  whealaheaves  "  of  Cheshire  ; 
and  correct  in  doubting  the  popular  stories  which 
are  freaueotly  made  for  the  arms  in  Border  dis- 
tricts. Two  curious  heraldic  subjects  suggest  them- 
selves. 1.  The  fpur  rovjil  snd  the  mullet  or  star 
are  utterly  diflereut,  yet  often  apparently  the 
same.  2.  The  annulet  was  used  on  some  northern 
coats  as  a  mark  of  ditference,  yet  more  from  some 
family  connexion  than  as  a  degree  of  cadency.

sented, was  ioforzned  by  A.  that  it  was  believed  to 
be  represented  by  Friincis  Dixon  JobuoD,  of

me  that  be  ia  descended  from  William,  one  of  the 
tone  of  George,  to  whom  the  Ramahaw  arms  were 
confirmed  1615,  and  who  had  other  sons,  Tboma^, 
Mathias,  George,  and  John.  My  great-grand- 
father, John  Dixon,  Col,  U.S.A.,  1776,  emigrated 
from  Hull,  and,  with  bis  brothers  Samael  and 
Ualdenby,  settled  at  Williamsbury,  Virginia,  1740, 
and  bore  the  K-imshaw  arms,  as  his  descendants 
have  since.  Haldenby  died  without  issue,  and 
Samuel  returned  to  England,  1776,  where  it  is 
said  he  died,  also  without  issue.  I  have  been  in- 
formed that  there  are  Dixons  about  Oockfield,  coal 
owners,  brawera,  farmers,  &o.,  supposed  to  be  of 
the  Bamtbaw  race,  and  one,  *'  connected  with  Mid-

RoDXBT  (e'"  a  iii.  47,  214,  397).— Some  time 
ago,  perhaps  five  or  six  years,  there  died  in  (his 
place  a  tine,  well-built,  fair  and  square-faced, 
tquare-shouldered  man,  who  alvayi  went  by  the 
single  name  of  Rodney.  His  real  name  was  at 
laot  discovered  to  be  Hobert  E:iitt«ll.  For  years 
I  knew  him  mostly  afoot  after  some  errand 
or  other,  with  a  stick  in  bis  hand  as  long  aa  the 
staff  of  a  Greek  Patriarch,  hut  without  any  more 
distinct  occupation  than  what  he  used  to  term, 
"Jobbing    about,  sir,   jobbing    about";    olways 


raising  his  voice,  in  the  manner  characterlstti 
the  humbler  cLiases  in  Suffolk,  at  the  end  of 
sentence.  I  often  asked  the  knowing'  ones  in  the 
village  why  they  called  him  Rodney.  Every 
labourer,  and  perhaps  every  son  of  a  htlK»UTer,  hat 
here  a  nickname  ;  but  no  one  could  ever  tell  me 
why  the  old  man  went  by  the  name  of  Rodney. 
Towards  the  end,  when  he  became,  to  his  great 
sorrow,  unahle  to  get  about,  I  used  to  visit  him  in 
his  one-roomed  (and  now  properly  demoli>thed} 
cottage,  where  he  latterly  liTed  alone.  I  al^ 
found  him  cheerful,  tidy,  for  an  old  man,  and  gi 
with  so  pleasant  a  tone  of  voice  and  with  mani 
so  gentle  as  to  lead  one  to  suppose  that  be 
seen  better  days.     Alas,  poor  Rodney  !    R.L]

OiD  Clocks  (O*"*  S.  yiL  166,  237).— The  Tery 
early  clocks  were  all  mnde  of  iron.  Those  which 
remain,  with  the  exception  of  thnt  in  the  South 
KenBington  Museum  already  mentioned,  were  aU 
largo  charch  docks,  or,  afl  we  now  tenn  them, 
*' turret  clocks";  and  I  suspect  that  is  the  only 
fifteenth  century  clock  remaining;  but  it  is  poa- 
&ible  that  some  examples  mny  still  exist  in  the 
lumber<room9  of  old  country  mansionB,  and  if 
that  should  be  the  cose,  I  should  be  greatly  obliged 
if  any  persons  who  know  of  their  existence  would 
gire  notice  of  them.  I  do  not  think  that  bra.*s 
was  used  in  the  construction  of  clocks  till  the 
sixteenth  century;  nod  then  very  m:iny,  both  lurge 
and  small,  were  made  entirely  of  steel,  of  which 
I  hftTe  some  be.iutlful  examples  ;  And  if  any  one 
should  know  of  finy  early  clocks.  Urge  or  small, 
in  which  brass  is  used  in  the  original  construction 
it  would  be  of  interest  to  have  it  noticed  ;  but 
care  must  be  taken  not  to  confound  more  recent 
alierations  with  tbe  original  work.  There  are  very 
few  of  the  old  original  hirge  turret  clocks  now 
remaining,  for  (hey  have  mostly  been  replaced  by 
modern  movements  and  the  eld  iron  works  de- 
stroyed ;  but  if  attention  is  directed  to  the  subject 
more  may  be  discovered. 

There  is,  however,  one  beautiful  and  perfect 
example  still  remaining  in  the  Mechanical  Museum 
or  collection  at  ^uth  Kensington,  I  believe  be- 
longing to  the  Society  of  ArU,  viz.,  the  clock 
which  was  discovered  in  Dover  Oaslle,  and  has 
been  brought  from  there  and  deposited  in  this 
lasenm,  where  it  is  now  going,  as  ita  original 
lechonism  is  perfect.  It  has  only  one  wheel, 
^bich  drives  the  crown  wheel  and  the  vertical 
rerge  pallets  and  horizontal  balance,  consisting 
>f  two  arras  with  movable  weights  to  govern  and 
regulate  its  oscilhitions,  and  is  just  as  it  was  in 
the  fifteenth  cenlur}*,  and  it  may  be  older.  It 
waa  seen  and  examined  by  Admiml  Smyth,  Direc- 
Mr  of  the  Society  of  Antiquaries,  nnd  Mr.  Vul- 
imy.  Admiral  Sniylh  has  given  a  description  of 
the  clock  in  the  Archtvofgia,  vol.  xxxiii.,  and 
mcies  ho  hits  made  out  the  date,  134ti.  I 
Examined  the  clock  in  IR52  and  made  drawings 
it  it,  bat  oould  not  clearly  make  out  the  figures. 
Tow  that  it  is  in  the  museum,  some  one  may 
[txamine  it  more  closely,  and  perhaps  discover 
le  date  ;  but  Arabic  numerals  were  hardly  in 
>Deral  use  nt  so  early  a  period.  This  clock  will 
tpvf  a  risit  to  any  one  interested  in  clocks ;  and  it 
nil  be  impurlnot  to  have  the  date,  if  there  is  one, 
tleorlj  m:ui(t  nut,  as  also  an  explanation  of  the 
"^  >OQaA  c^tpitols   "  BL,"  and   it  "irould    be   utis- 


footory  to  know  if  those  letters  were  used  at  that 
time. 

Another  important  and  interesting  clock,  brought 
from  Wells,  is  also  in  the  same  museum.  Its 
history  is  that  it  was  originally  mode  for  the 
Abbey  of  Glastonbury  in  1340,  by  Peter  Light- 
foot,  a  monk  of  the  abbey,  for  Adam  de  Sodbary, 
then  abbot ;  that  on  the  diasolation  and  destruc- 
tion of  the  abbey,  in  1637,  it  was  brought  frooar 
Glastonbury  and  set  up  in  the  cathedral  nt  Well%^ 
where  it  performed  with  its  old  work.*.  But  I  am  in- 
clined to  doubt  whether,  after  a  run  of  two  hundred 
years,  between  1340  and  1537,  the  old  original 
works  could  easily  have  been  moved,  and  I  ant 
rather  disposed  to  think  that  the  frame  and  going 
part  of  the  clock  were  made  new  when  the  clock 
was  removed  in  1B37;  although  it  is  very  probable 
that  the  complex  dial  work  and  the  mechanism  of 
the  revolving  figures  on  horseback  are  part  of  tho 
original  construction,  as  the  machinery  looks  very 
like  work  of  that  period.  My  reason  for  thinking 
so  is  that  the  architectural  chantcter  of  the  fram< 
work  is  hardly  of  so  old  a  date  as  1340,  but  exactlj 
corresponds  in  minute  details  with  another  vory^ 
remaraable  clock  which  we  know  was  put  up 
Rye  in  15lfi,  not  very  many  years  before  the  time 
when  the  Glastonbury  clock  was  removed  to  Wells, 
When  the  modern  clock  was  put  np  at  Wells  tha 
curious  ancient  works  of  the  old  clock  were  takeal 
down  to  the  crypt  under  tbe  chapter-house,  ani 
about  twenty-five  years  ago  I  saw  them  lyii 
there  uncnred  for  as  a  heap  of  old  iron,  instead 
being  taken  care  of  as  a  curious  and  interesltD|^ 
piece  of  ancient  mechanism.  I,  however,  made  a 
careful  drawing  of  the  clock  and  frame  as  it  was, 
and  remonstrated  with  the  verger  who  showed 
it  to  me  against  what  I  considered  sad  neglect 
of  a  very  curiuus  and  highly  interesting  work. 
I  visited  WelU  two  years  oflerwards  and  founi 
the  clockwork  in  precisely  the  same  slate  as  I  left 
it  !  It  has  since  been  appreciated  and  brought  up 
to  London  and  6tted  together,  and  now  stands 
beside  the  Dover  clock  in  the  Mechanical  Muscuiik 
at  South  Kensington,  and  they  arc  both  in  goin^ 
order.  Tho  Wells  clock  had  not  tho  original 
escapement,  but  had  been  altered  to  a  peoduluuk 
A  long  tiiue  before. 

At  Rye,  in  Susaex,  in  the  large  church,  is  & 
very  remarkable,   curious,  and  interesting  clooki 
perhaps   the   most    ancient   one  going,    with    it«J 
original  movement,  at    the    present    day.     It 
very  little  known,  and  not  mentioned  in  any  worl 
on  clocks.     Nor  did  I  ever  hear  of  it  or  know  oi 
it  till  I  accidentally  saw  it.     From  entries  in  tbe 
church  accounts  I  find  it  was  put  up  in  the  year 
1615,  as  in  that  year  I  see  that  "for  works  oi 
the  frame  of  the  dock  and  dial  in  the  steeple,  8»/ 
were  paid,  and  **  to  tbe  mnn  who  jnade  the  clock- 
work  and  dial,  £/.  6i.  Sd";  and  again,  to  "  the  mai 
of  Winchelseo,  in  full  payment  of  his  bar^in^

the  church,  mfLking  tventy-five  beats  lel  a  minute. 
It  \b  very  curious  that  this  clock  has  Imen  bo  Uttte

Iiif€  little  or  nothing  is  said  about  it»  &ave  that 
the  chimes  ^rere  takeci  from  the  Spatjiah  Ariuadd 
and  presented  to  tlie  town  by  Que^n  Elizabeth  ; 
but  it  is  difficult  to  underatntid  how  a  clo^k  or 
chimes  of  belia  would  bo  on  board  &  ship  of  war 
in  the  Spanish  Armndu.  It  is  to  be  rematked  in 
all  (beae  old  iron  ctocka  (he  piaion?  are  oil  what 
are  termed  ''lantern  "  piniaas. 

In  LympihAmr  in  Somersetshire,  not  far  from 
Highbridgej  t  found  one  of  the^e  old  iron  clocke  in 
the  toffer  of  the  church,  tt  having  been  replaced 
by  a  Dew  clock,  and  I  dare  say  in  tnany  other  old 
tpuiiDtry  cbnr&bes  similar  clocks  may  stiU  be  found, 
I  begged  it  might  be  preserved  as  a  curiosity. 
And  I  know  of  another,  ^hich  used  to  be  in  the 
gate-house  of  an  nld  frtmily  mansion,  which  is  itill 

f^reaerved  ;  and  it  is  very  probable  that  thb  rentl-

Matthew  lieriry  Lee»  M.A.     (Kcgna  T&ul.  Trench^ 

Cto.) 
Wb  Are  greatly  indebted  tu  Mr.  Lee  for  the  puillcaLtlon 
of  thiiTolume,  which  is  both  carcfuUy  edited  nnd  well 
indexed.  The  light  wliich  theie  letters  and  diaries 
throw  upon  ihe  domestic  nrid  every-day  life  of  the  time 
if  very  coniidenble.  At  present  only  twenU-two  of 
lb*  diaries  hare  been  discoreroJ,  which  should  extend 
orer  a  period  of  some  thirty-nine  ycora— from  1657  to  1690. 
It  is  lioped  that  the  niiasing  ones  vtill  soon  be  found,  nnd 
that  Mr.  Ijce  will  be  able  to  include  tltom  in  a  second 
editi-tn  of  bis  book. 

Matthew  Henry  was  bom  on  the  24th  of  August,  1931, 
ai  WhitcLblt,  whore  his  falber  bold  the  ofilca  of  Keeper 
of  the  Orchard.  In  1G43  young  Ilenry  wss  sent  to 
^Yestminster  School,  where  he  was  put  in  the  fourth 
form,  then  under  the  charge  of  Thomas  Vincent,  lie 
was  afterwards  elcctcvl  on  the  foundation,  and  bis  name 
issiill  to  be  seen  |.ainttd  in  gwtd  letters  on  on«  of  the 
black  tablets  iu  the  college  dormitory,  thus  showing  that 
he  must  hftve  got  head  into  college.  Dr.  Bosby  was 
at  this  lime  the  head  niaalcr.  and  though  Ilenry  was 
^terwards  known  as  the  doctor's  favourite  pupil,  he  did 
not  escape,  on  one  occasion  at  least,  from  feeling  the 
weiffbt  of  the  doctor's  rod.  In  1646,  being  cKcted  a 
student  of  Christ  Church,  he  went  up  to  Oxiord,  where, 
after  a  refidii^Tice  of  three  jeurs,  he  took  his  detiree. 
During  this  period,  when  on  a  visit  to  London,  ho  wit- 
nessed the  execution  of  Charles  I.,  the  account  of  which, 
in  his  own  word#,  will  be  found  on  psgen  05  and  G6,  ante. 
After  taking  bis  degree,  he  liTcd  for  some  time  in  the 
ftatuily  of  Judge  Puleft'm,  at  Emral,  in  Flintshire,  where 
his  duty  consisted  in  taking  charge  of  the  judge's  cods 
and  preaching  at  the  neiithbouring  cliurch  of  Wortheu- 
bury.  On  the  IGth  of  September.  1G&6— "  a  Day  nerer 
to  Yei  Korgotlen'"— he  was  ordained  a  minister  by  the 
Fieslytery,  at  Frees,    When  the Beatoratiou  took  place 


he  r«fused  to  coufonu.and  beiig  ejected  from  WortI.en- 
bury,  he  ntirtd  soon  afterwards  to  Bnad  Oak,  in 
Flintshire.  There  be  died,  after  a  hmg  career  of  usefal> 
ness.  in  1696,  and  was  buried  at  Whitchurch.  It  is  im- 
poesible  to  read  these  diaries  and  letiers  without  feeling' 
a  great  atJiniration  for  the  n  an,  puiicsied  as  be  was  of 
high  Intellectual  capacity,  and  the  moft  uncompromising 
honesty.  Subjected  to  frequeiit  persecutinrs,  his  #erenlty 
of  temper  aeems  never  tn  hare  deacrted  him.  He  llTed 
a  hfe  of  the  utmost  simplicity,  and  was  content  to  dedi- 
cate bis  whole  time  to  niioideriiig  ta  the  good  of  brs 
fellow  creatures.  Few  men,  Indeed,  I^to  behind  them 
a  more  fragrant  memory.  We  cannot  coticludo  Ibii 
notice  better  than  with  the  words  which  Dr.  Johnson 
addressed  to  John  Irel&nd  on  learning  that  be  was  « 
descendant  of  Philip  Henry:  "Sir."  said  the  doctor, 
"you  are  descended  from  a  man  wbose  genuine  sim- 
plicity and  unafffcted  piety  would  haTO  done  honour  tu 
any  sect  of  Christians,  and  asasr.holar  be  must  have  bad 
uncommon  acquiren^cnts  when  Busby  boasted  of  liaTing 
been  his  tutor."

This  is  a  useful  guidebook  to  many  of  the  tess-known 
objects  of  interest  in  nnd  around  Canterbury,  It  Is  on 
ttio  ttholo  well  compiled,  snd  will  be  rery  ufeful  not 
only  to  visitors,  but  to  many  pcncus  who  dwell  in 
the  neighbourhood.  Many  paits  t>f  it  are  painfnl 
reading.  The  record  of  wanton  do*ttuclion  bos  to  be 
repeated  OTer  and  cxer  again.  Under  St.  Mary  Mag- 
dalen, Burgate,  we  rend  that  tho  church  was  polled 
down  in  1871,  and  that  the  brasses  in  it"  difappemred  " 
daring  the  process  of  demolition.  One.  to  (he  memory 
of  Christopher  Klook  and  bis  wife  Mer;;arci,  was  dated 
1494.  The  font,  a  Norman  one,  was  told  nt  the  ssme 
time.  The  tower  of  the  church  cf  St.  Mildred  was 
pulled  down  In  1832,  for  the  sake  of  mnking  room  for 
additional  sittings.  Four  of  the  five  hells  wtro  sold. 
One  of  them  was  dated  1536,  and  here  upun  it  a  figure 
of  our  blessed  Sariour  bf^uid  and  crowned  with  thorns, 
and  the  inscription,  "IUtc  luarce  on  the  BOUles  of 
Tliomas  Wood  and  Margaret  his  wyfe." 

Wo  wish  to  diaw  eaiiccinl  attention  to  the  chapter 
on  St.  Martin's  Church,  which  contains  some  infor- 
mation regarding  that  venerable  building  which  » 
not  generally  known.  The  authors  arc  CTidcntly  more 
at  home  in  things  comparatirely  modem  than  in  thofe 
of  older  dale.  It  U  a  mistake  to  speak  of  King  EtheT- 
bert's  nnconvorted  subjects  holding  "  feasts  in  honour  of 
a  god  of  Hiaugliter  and  a  Rcdde»8  of  lust."  That  the 
gods  of  the  Trutonic  mythology  were  gods  of  ilsughter 
we  admit,  but  impurity  was  not  an  object  rf  worship. 
Queen  Bertha,  Ethelbcrt's  wife,  was  the  daughter  of 
Choribert,  King  of  Peris.  What  can  have  (ndiiced  the 
authors  to  describe  her  father  ss  "  King  of  France  **  we 
are  at  a  loss  to  conceive.  A  more  grotetque  blunder 
we  have  rarely  encountered.

Tb«  earlier  legends  are  most  of  tliera  well  told,  but  when

The  FamUv  0/  7><t  Braoit,  1006-1326  (Bedford.  Hock-

iboM  careful  ani]  elaborate  family  bittories  of  which 
there  are  lo  few  in  the  Englii>h  language.  Of  family 
chronicles  of  the  romantic  sort  wo  haro  more  than 
enough,  but  there  is  a  great  dearth  of  true,  carefully 
compiled  narratiTes  where  erery  statement  ia  baaed  on

receiving  his  slatementa  with  credence.  The  author

we  do  not  noaieas.  Kstimating  hid  arguments,  however, 
by  such  lij^iita  as  we  poisese,  we  bare  no  hesitation  in 
saying  that  he  has  made  out  a  very  strong  case  in  favour 
of  India.  Tli&t  the  forms  of  tbe  figures  we  now  use  are 
remotely  Indiait.noone  who  understands  the  evidence  will 
deny.     The  question  is  ae  to  what  people  discovered  tbe 

?ow'er  of  the  zero.     Sir  E.  Clive  Bayley  lays:    ''The 
odian  claim  to  invention  of  tbe  value  of  poeition  and  the 
zero  rests  Unt  on  the  distinct  and  direct  tcflimonyof 
Arab  historians  and  other  Arab  writcn  to  tli&t  effect; 
on  the  certainty  that  the  former  was  practically  used  by 
the  Indians  at  a  date  considerfebly  anterior  to  that  at 
wltich  it  can  be  really  shown  to  have  been  oaed  by  any

exactly  similar  grounds. '     Sir  B.  Clive  Kayley  (ells  ua

At  the  last  evening  meeting  of  the  Royal  Soeietj  of

whose  elaborate  work  on  Civdle  Lnndi  we  noticed  in

reconiiderhtion  of  the  date  of  the  rock  temples  pf  Ellora, 
kc,  in  view  of  the  testimony  to  their  anliijuity  tntme  hy 
the  Chinese  Buddhist  pilgrims  of  the  sixth  century  of 
the  Christian  oru,  whose  records  of  travel  l)»ve  been 
translated  by  the  Kev,  S.  Bcal.  Mr.  8toDC  urged  that  the 
accountJ  given  by  the  pilgrims  were  properly  applicable 
to  the  caves  of  Ellnra  rather  than  to  those  of  Ajanta, 
and  argued  generally  against  the  late  view  of  the  date  of; 
Indian  rock  temples  taken  by  Mr.  Pergueson.  A  dis

Ddera  heap  of  dusty  pspers  and  frsgments 
}rayer  books,  at  the  bottom  of  an  iron  chest 
shnrch.  It  is  a  marrol  that  they  exist,  and 
ly  existf  but  in  a  soand  and  good  state. 
lad  not  been,  as  I  believe,  disturbed  for 
any  years.  My  remembrauce  of  their  oun- 
U  that  time  is  that  the  heap  of  loose  docn- 
and  p:>pers,  which  ranged  from  nboat  the 
of  the  seventeenth  to  about  the  end  of  the 
story,  hsd  simply  accumulated  above  them, 
tier  year,  as  time  went  on.  It  was  a  con- 
b  place  in  which  to  throw  what  seemed  to 
bish,  although  not  immediately  to  be  de- 
I,  iJesidea  these  books  there  was  a  very 
I  manumission  deed,  and  a  siogle  leaf  from 
od's  FouT  P*$.  The  deed  has  diasppeared 
f^4  ;  and  I  do  not  koow  whether  the  leaf 
pk  UkA  chest 


I  have  printed  from  these  accounts  a  few  ex- 
tracts relating  to  service  books  in  the  dissertation 
which  begins  the  first  volume  of  Monumenta 
TUtualia,  and  also  the  deed  of  ntannmiBSton.  The 
extracts  made  by  the  iSociety  of  Antiquaries  are 
extensive,  but  yet  leave  a  far  lirger  portion  nn- 
notioed.  It  may  be  of  interest,  peihtps,  to  some 
of  your  readers  if  I  mention  one  or  two  matters  not 
remarked  on  in  their  publication  ;  possibly  some 
one  at  a  future  time  may  find  an  opportunity  of 
printinfi;  the  whole.  These  accounts  are  of  pecu  liar 
value  and  importance  to  any  historian  of  the 
Church  of  Kogland,  because,  beginning  in  1513 
aud  ending  io  1577,  they  include  the  entire  period 
of  the  chief  changes  in  faith  and  ritual  daring  the 
reigns  of  Henry  VIU.,  Elward  Vf,  Mary,  and 
Eliz&betfa.  I  need  hardly,  perhspa,  add  that 
cbarchwardena*  accounts  of  this  date  are  amoogt*; 
the  rarest  of  medixval  documents.  It  tniy  be 
doubted  whether  fifty  are  known;  there  are,  I 
believe,  two  or  tbr<e  in  the  Bodleian,  and  perhupi 
the  same  number  in  the  British  Museum. 

The  Society  of  Antiquaries  requested  one  of 
their  most  diatingaished  members.  Mr.  Peacock, 
to  edit  the  portion  which  they  published,  and  the 
mention  of  his  name  is  a  snfHcient  gnurantce  for" 
the  caro  and  correctness  with  which  the  work  was 
done.  But  this  is  not  all ;  Mr.  Peacock  prefixed 
a  very  excellent  preliminary  paper  aud  numerous 
valuable  notes  explaining  the  entries  which  ha 
selected  to  print. 

The  two  books  of  which  I  am  writing  are  not 
only  of  the  wardens  of  the  parish  of  Stratton 
itself,  that  is,  of  the  parish  ohurch  of  Sl  Andrew. 
The  first  part  (more  than  half)  of  the  larger 
manuscript  is  of  "  the  bye  oros-e  wardcuyt  of 
Stratton,"  who  seem  to  have  kept  a  septrate 
account,  and  paid  annually  virying  amounts  of 
money  to  the  wardens  of  the  pariah.  Besides  the 
High  Cross  wardens  there  were  others  attached 
to  the  church,  namely,  "of  sent  George,"  **  of 
sent  armyll,"  aud  *'  of  our  lady  holmadon,"  whose 
yearly  payments  to  the  pirirfi  wardens  are  duly 
entered  in  the  general  account.  No  memoranda 
or  accoant-books  of  these  last  three  are  known  ts 
exist.  With  regard  to  the  name  "  holmadon," 
Mr.  Peacock  prints  "our  lady  of  Holmadon.'* 
Very  possibly  it  should  be  so ;  but  in  none  of  the 
entries  do  I  &od  any  trace  of  the  "of."  "Oare 
lady  holmadon  ys  wardens"  occurs  frequently; 
and  at  least  once,  in  1642,  "oure  holmadon 
wardens."  ]54£  is  the  last  year  io  which  any 
payment  by  these  wardens  is  mentioned. 

The  accounts  of  the  High  Cross  wardens  cease 
in  the  year  lo4r> ;  and  almost  all  the  rest  of  tb« 
volume  ia  filled  with  the  acoouuts  of  the  pariab 
oburcbwardeDB  up  to  the  year  1677.  The  pirial 
account  book  happened  then  to  have  only  tw 
blank  leaves  left ;  so  the  High  Cross  boolc  ws

vardeni  come  la  agaia  io  1552 ;  the  Dftxt  thr«6 
jeatj  hire  the  p^rUh  Accounta ;  in  \U5Gj  the 
fonrlh  7<*ar  of  Queen  Mary,  the  ftcoount  is  ftgain 
of  the  High  Cross  wardens,  wbioh  is  not  to  be 
wondered  at,  as  the  old  observances  were  ij^Tadually 
beiDf!  restored.  But  tbU  is  their  last  appearance. 
Mr.  Peacock  does  not  seem  to  bareobaerTed  these 
cbungep,  and  has  taken  the  book  to  be  throughout 
of  the  High  Cross  wardens. 

Stratton  is  a  very  ancient  town,  and,  although 
neTer  Urge  or  populous,  was  of  eireat  local  import- 
ance in  the  Middle  ^gea.  There  were  several 
guilds  in  the  parish,  each  of  which  by  its  wardens 
made  annual  payments  to  the  general  funds  of 
the  parish  church  of  St.  Andrew.  There  were 
**Chryste's"  guild  (misprinted  "  Orestes  "  in  the 
Arch(ioiogia\  and  the  guilda  of  St.  Andrew  and 
AlIhallowB,  and  a  guild  or  oompiiny  of  gtrU,  "our 
lady  tuaydens,"  whose  wardens  were  also  girls, 
changing  every  year  ;  for  example,  in  1534  ElizA- 
beth  Call  and  Johanna  Call  pay  nineteen  sbillin^Sf 
in  1535  Alison  Jule  (Jewel)  and  Johanna  Bette 
pay  sixteen  shillings,  and  in  1A30  Thomasyn  Pery 
and  "Johanna  y*  seruant  of  Wyll'"  Gyst"  pay  five 
shillings  and  lixpence. 

The  yearly  receipts  of  the  churchwardens  of  the 
parish  of  Stratton  early  in  the  sixteenth  century 
were  considerable, amounting  (from  vurions  source s) 
in  1533  to  251.  lis.  6d.,  out  of  which  sura 
161.  18^.  lOd.  was  spent,  and  the  balance  carried 
on  to  the  next  year,  the  first  entry  in  1534  being 
"Recevyd  of  Wyllym  Gyst  and  John  Jule,  re- 
ceyvera  the  yere  list  past,  viij^i.  xviiji.  vijti." 
Once  or  twice  the  payments  exceed  the  income, 
but  onW  to  ft  small  extent,  as,  for  instance, 
If.  U.  3^1  in  the  year  1539.  In  the  year  1540  the 
new  churchwardens  received  from  their  prede- 
cessors a  balance  of  twopence. 

There  are  still  remaining  on  the  oorer  of  the 
parish  account  book  traces  of  drawings— and  these 
not  by  an  unpractised  hand — of  three  subjects, 
which  leem  to  me  to  be  probably  sketches,  in  the 
way  of  memoranda,  of  fresco  paintings  which  once 
ornamented  the  interior  of  the  chorco.  I  imagine 
it  to  be  also  probable  that  they  were  made  in 
King  Edward's  time,  when  decorations  of  this 
kind  were  destroyed  by  order  of  the  Protestant 
reformers.  Inside  the  cover  at  the  top  are  two 
drawings  in  outline;  one  shows  the  buffeting  of 
our  Lord  by  the  soldiers,  the  other  Christ  before 
FiUte.  Ttie  originals  of  these  would  seem  to  be 
(he  earliest  of  the  series,  about  the  middle  of  the 
thirteenth  century.  Pilate  Is  represented  as  sitting 
on  acbair  of  a  date  at  least  as  early  in  style  as 
that  time.  Below  these  is  a  larger  drawing,  ro- 
preseotiog  the  well-known  legend  of  the  three 
Min^*s  or  prinoes  meeting  the  three  skeletons.  This 
is  a  common  lubjeot  for  illumination  in  mediicvat 
M^?'  Qor;^  and  Prymers,  and  in  the  printed  edi- 
of  about  the  yrar  1600,  before  the  OtGo«  for 


the  Dead  ;  and  perhaps  I  may  be  excused  for  re- 
ferrine  to  a  note  about  it  in  the  third  volume  of  | 
the  Monumenta  Kitualia,  p,  U7.  In  the  present  i 
MS.  the  three  skeletons  are  drawn  at  full  lengtlir 
and  the  three  living  men  are  shown  below  witb 
crowns  on  their  beads.  On  the  outside  of  the 
cover  is  a  still  larger  drawing  of  St  Christopher 
carrying  our  Lord  on  his  left  arm  in  the  usual  way :. 
our  Lora  is  vested  in  a  red  garment  and  crowned. 
The  style  would  seem  to  show  that  the  original 
painting  was  of  the  time  of  Richard  It. 

We  have   evidence    in    these  acoounta  of  th« 
effdcing  of  paintings  in  the  church.     In  154.^  is 
an  entry,  *' payd  for  takyng  downe  of  )■  Bodo  ,, 
and  ?•  pagents  )"  }•  rode  lofle";  in  1548  for  tak- 
ing down  **  ij  picktere  of  y«  north  syde  and  south 
syde,  vjtZ."     Again,    with   more  Bigni6canc»,  in 
1651,"for  wbittlyrayngeof  the  churchc,  iiij?.  iiijd.,"  | 
— no  inoonsiderable  sum,  and  quite  enough  to  cover  I 
all  the  walls.     In  the  year  1558  a  beginning  was 
made  to  restore  some  of   the  old  oroameots,  and 
the  churchwardens  paid  **  for  pentyn  of  [the  patroa  I 
saint]  synt   .Androw,  iij».  iiij't/ — very  soon  to  be  j 
hidden  under  fresh  "  whittlymynge  "  in  KUzabeth'k  j 
reign. 

1  would  now  make  a  remark  or  two  on  a  few  ol  " 
the  entries;  somenot  noticed  by  the  Society  of  Antt- 
quarica.  It  seems  tbnt  there  was  an  occaaiooal 
payment  of  fire  shillings  by  the  High  Cross 
wardens  to  the  vicar  of  Stratton.  '*  Item,  p**  to 
master  vycar  »',"  is  an  entry  in  1512,  1513, 
again  in  1020  ;  in  1521  we  find  the  reason  of 
"  to  master  vicar  for  the  bederolL"  Again,  in  U 
"  for  the  bederoll  and  for  wyllm  Nortben  ya 
petuall  obytt  or  meneday."  Probably  some 
parishioners  were  to  be  prayed  for  not  ool 
masses  B^d  at  the  altAr  of  the  High  Cross^] 
also  at  maaaea  aaid  at  the  high  altar  of  the  chl 
And  this  last  entry  seems  to  explain  also 
payments  for  names  to  be  put  u])on  the  b(  ' 
might  be  for  a  longer  or  shorter  period,  o| 
ever:  "a  perpetoall  obytt."  The*'meoeda3 
rightly  explained  by  Mr.  Peacock  from  the  A.-8L 
mirnan,  to  have  in  mind.  The  last  entry,  what 
for  receipt  or  payment  on  account  of  the  bed* 
IB  in  1548  ;  nor  doea  there  appear  to  have 
any  renewal  of  the  old  custom  during 
Mary's  time. 

Numerous  payments  occur  in  the  High 
accounts  for  new  vestments,  and  for  blessing  tbem^ 
and    for    mending    them.      The    bishop 
blcesed     the     vestments    at     bis     visitatioi 
LiunoestOD,  and   the   fees  varied.      In  ITil! 
yerd    of   bokeram  "  made   "iij   new  stolya/ 
"  xxiijd."  wtre  paid  for  the  blessing  of  On 
and  "  T  awter  clothjrs."     On   this   0( 
bishop  seems  to  have  come  to  Stratton, 
ringers  were  paid  to  welcome  him,  and   a  gat' 
of  wine   provided   *'  to   gcre  my  lord   bisbi^

1513,  6tb.  at  Easter  coat  4*.,  and  5lb.  at  Christniiis^ 
2t.  lid.;  later  in  the  same  year  a  pound  was  bought 
for  7d.  Frankincensecoetusaallyfattfaesameperiod, 
Sd.  a  pound;  a  few  years  later  the  price  was  doubled. 
Rushes  were  bought  eTery  yesr  to  strew  over  the 
Hoor  of  the  church ;  the  quantity  ia  not  mentioned^ 
but  the  QxpoDse  varied  from  6ii.  to  lOd.  Tn  1526, 
2d.  was  paid  "  to  a  tynker  to  mende  and  to  bore 
ij  holya  yu  the  holy  water  bokett/'  A  singular 
«Dlry  occurs  io  1514:  "  F**  for  a  cord  for  the 
lepalcher  cloth,  ijd."  This  cloth  was  sold  io  1551 : 
**KeL''  of  Nyoolas  yco  for  the  great  sepulcre  cloth, 
iiij«.*'  The  peal  of  bells  in  the  chnroh  were  a  con- 
stant expense  ;  scarcely  a  year  went  by  witbout 
payments  for  mending  them,  or  for  ropes,  or  "  for 
gretse,**  or  for  "  bellcolers,"  and  in  151G"for  a 
lew  wbef^lt  [wheel]  for  the  gret  bell,  and  for 
lendynjr  of  the  other  bellys,  iij*.  iiij*/."  On  the 
»ther  hand,  a  good  deal  of  money  came  in  for 
ringing  of  knells,  for  each  of  which  in  1512  the 
fee  was  4(/.,  and  so  continued  for  the  next  forty 
l^vears.  The  supply  of  service  books  was  properly 
icept  up,  and  purchases  were  made  when  required 
of  missals,  manualo,  and  processionals;  in  1554, 
when  new  books  were  wanted  to  supply  those 
which  had  been  destroyed  in  King  Edward's  time, 
the  price  of  "  a  processynal  and  a  whole  manuell " 
was  7f.  A  Common  Prayer  Book  of  Queen  Elizv 
beth  appears  to  have  been  bought  in  1559,  and 
another,  including  the  Psalter,  in  1570.  I  m&y 
note  that  in  this  same  year,  1570,  the  old  chaliov 
was  sold  for  W.  17«.,  and  "paid  for  the  com- 
munion cup  iiUi,  zix«."  The  cruets,  "  corporas 
^SMM^"  and  candleaticks  were  sold  in  the  following 
year.  Retarniog  to  the  service  book?,  I  may 
make  the  Banie  observation  that  I  have  made 
«lMwbere  :  how  remsrkable  the  evidence  is  which 
the  inventories  of  pariah  churches  made  about  1552 
or  1553  furnish  with  regard  to  the  careful  and 
wholesale  destruction  of  such  books  in  the  early 
7ears  of  King  Edward.  Two  inventories  are  in 
these  account  books,  taken  in  1553;  there  ia  & 
l&rge  number  of  vestments,  pixes,  a  "  acheppe/' 
and  other  ornameDts,  but  not  a  single  book  re- 
raining  in  the  possesaion  of  the  ohurcb.  One  of 
the  most  remarkable  payments  is  in  1549:  "To 
John  Trevelyan  for  iij  new  books  notyd  for  matens 
And  euensoDg  yn  yngglyssb,  xvjd."  I  am  quite 
unable  to  explain  this.  The  price  shows  that  these 
must  have  been  printed  books,  but  there  Is  no 
edition  known  of  such  a  book  earlier  than  1550, 
wiien  it  was  printed  for  John  Merbecke.  We 
must  not,  however,  give  up  all  hope  of  some  day 
finding  u  copy  of  this  *'  book  notyd,"  for  only 
three  or  four  years  ago  a  copy  of  a  previously  un- 
sown church  book  for  the  use  of  parish  clerks— 
(be  1540  Prayer  Book  so  arranged — was  bought  by 


the  British  Museum.  A  descripticn  of  this  im* 
portant  book  is  in  the  Atheiufntm  of  Oct  28,  1876. 
There  are  two  other  entries  in  this  year,  1549, 
which  open  a  wide  field  of  conjecture  :  *'  Item,  p^ 
to  Wyllyam  Rodd  for  a  more,  %^^  y*  paryashe  was 
content  to  pay  for  the  mare  yf  he  hsd  not  bys  mare 
ftgen,  xxf.,"  and  *'  Item,  he  wente  to  taunceston  to 
baue  hys  mare  and  cowde  not  h\ue  hyr,  hys  ex- 
penses and  labor  was  viij<i."  Now,  who  could 
William  Rodd  have  been  i  what  had  the  psrUh 
to  do  with  his  mare  1  what  bad  become  of  her — 
was  she  stolen  or  strayed  f  and  why  did  all  this 
happen  ia  this  particular  and  eventful  year  of 
1549  I  Uad  the  mare  anything  to  do  with  the 
new  Common  Prayer  Book  or  the  taking  down  of 
the  roodloft  and  destruction  "  of  the  pigentes"  ? 

I  must  put  oft  till  another  opportunity  offering 
you  some  further  extracts.  W.  Mi^kelu

referricg  to  the  epitaph  a«  *'  touching,"  does  not, 
however,  give  the  words  of  it,  and  make«  some 
reference  to  "obscurity."  Noble,  in  his  Lire*  of

terientia  (a.d.  1682),  after  describing  these  arms, 
without  Daiuiog  the  tinctures,  presents  the  in- 
Bcription,  much  in  this  style  :  —

tniai  Maulererer  of  Allerton- 
MftuIeTcrcr  in  Yorfc-hSrc  Bnronet,

p.  2oa;. 

A  pedigree  in  vol.  ii.  of  Poulson's  History  of 
Boldimtst  (p.  93)  says  that  Eh'zubeth,  wife  of 
Eichard  Sykcs,  was  daughter  of  Thomas  Scot, 
through  his  marriage  with  Grace  Muulererer. 
Bat,  inasmuch  as  Richard  Bykes  niarrieil  Thomas 
Scot's  danghter  before  the  year  1658,  the  date 
— "1644" — on  the  monument  shows  Thomas 
Scot  to  hare  been  preriouely  married,  and  tbuL  she, 
Grace,  was  but  stepmother  to  his  daughter  EEiza- 
beth.  Anna,  daughter  of  Kichard  Syltes  and  the 
Bfud  Elizabeth  his  wife,  mArried  Kalph  Thoresby, 
vboBQ  Diary  (vol.  i.  p.  180)  names  his  fathe^in- 
law  as  baring  "  married  a  most  notorious  repub- 
lican*a  daughter."  And  to  this  the  Ker,  Jos. 
fiunter  appends  a  note  including  these  words  r 
^  Tboresby,  with  all  bis  fondness  for  biographical 
noecdote,  scarcely  ever  alludes  to  this  person." 
And,  it  may  be  added,  no  allusion  would  hare 
been  made  to  Scot  then  (1665)  but  for  Bichard 
Sykes's  imprisonment  on  a  suspicion  of  trcaaon. 

JL  point  of  perhaps  more  general  interest  con- 
nected with  the  monument  for  Grace  Scot  is  con- 
tained in  the  followfu^  memoranda.     ITnlesa  my 
information  is  incomplete,  there  are  hut  two  edi- 
tions (distinct  isfluea)  of  Copiet  t>j  the  Warrant  for 
th€  Exi€Vit\Qr\  of  King  Charlu  iht  Fint.     In  No.  1 , 
alonj^side  the  name  *'Tho.  Suof'  is  a  seal  showing 
I       a  shield  simoly  charged  with  two  beadlets  ;  but 
^bK6.  2  gives  the  arms  on  his  seal  as  a  bend  with 
^Fftn  estoile  between  two  crescents  thereon.*    The 
reproductions  of  this  celebrated  "  warrant "  having 


[•  Apparently  as  Bcott,  Earl  of  donmell.] 


been  generally  accepted  as  exact,  it  seems  not 
improper  to  call  attention  to  the  different  coats  of 
arms  assigned  to  Thomas  Scot  Logically  it 
would  appear  that  the  monument  in  Westmin- 
ster Abbey  is  the  preferable  autboritr.  An  en- 
graving by  G.  r.  Harding  was  published  by  him 
in  1809  ;  and  ib  purports  to  oe  a  portrait  of 
"Thomas  Soot  of  Bucks,  Secretary  of  State  to  Oliver 
Cromwell,"  Ac,  "executed  at  Charing  Cross, 
1660";  but  my  faith  in  this  has  lately  been  much 
diminished. 

Further  examination  has  the  following  result. 
Noble  does  not  seem  to  have  been  aware  that  Scot 
was  twice  married  ;  and  says,  at  p.  169,  vol  ii.  of 
his  Regicides^  **  Thomas  Scot,  Esq.,  was,  it  is  said 
(by  all  the  loyalists),  the  son  of  a  mean  brewer  in 
Bridewell  precinct."  Tboresby  (Huiory  oj  hud*, 
p.  4)  describes  him  as  "ofWesthorpe,  com.  Bucks." 
Westborpe  House,  Mr.  Scot's  residence,  was  in 
the  parish  of  Little  Marlow  ;  and  Harl.  MS.  No. 
1533,  p.  IGO,  purports  to  give  a  pedigree  of 
"  Scott,"  oa  entered  at  the  Visitation  of  Bucks, 
1634.  He  there  appears  as  fourth  in  descent 
from  Thomas  Scott  of  Essex,  and  as  having 
married  "  Allice  d'r  &  sole  heire  of  William 
Allanson  of  London."  The  children  of  this  mar- 
riage were  William,  ai,  7,  Thomas,  Francis, 
Richard^  Alice,  Elizabeth,  and  Mary.  But, 
strange  to  say,  yet  another  deviatiun  is  shown 
in  the  ami?,  as  "Per  pale,  indented  rrmnw  and 
sable,  a  SJiUire  coonterchanged,"* 

Tboresby  says  that  Alice  Scot  married  Mr. 
Edward  Pearse,  a  "writer";  and  Thoresby's 
Correxpondtnce  (vol.  i.  p.  70)  showa  that  Thomas 
Scot,  son  of  the  regicide,  was  charged  with  high 
treason  at  Wexford  in  August,  168&.  On  the 
other  baud,  Grace  Scot's  brother,  Sir  Richard 
Mauleverer,  had  been  a  "Cavalier"  during  the 
Commonwealth  ;  hence  her  monument  in  West- 
minster Abbey  was  not  disturbed  when  the  Re- 
storation came.  Jaues  Stkes. 

ExpENBES  AT  CAMDRiDttE  IN  1771. — The  fol- 
lowing is  a  copy  of  a  letter  in  the  possession  of 
Egerton  Leigh,  Esq.,  of  the  West  Hall,  High 
Leigh,  Cheshire.  It  rektes  to  the  education  of 
his  great-grandfather,  Egerton  Leigb,  son  of  the 
Rev.  Peter  Leigh,  Rector  of  Lymm,  Chefihire,  and 
Mary  (Donchty)  his  wife,  in  1 772,  and  is  addressed 
to  Mrs.  Lcigb,  then  a  widow,  residing  at  Broad- 
well,  CO.  Gloucester,  her  ancestral  home.  E^rton 
Leigb  was  born  Oct.  S5,  1762,  and  took  bis  B.A. 
degree  at  Sidney  Sussex  Colleco  in  1776.  On 
Sept.  21,  1778,  he  was  married,  at  Rostheme, 
Cheshire,  to  Elizabeth,  younger  daughter  and  co- 
heiress of  Francis  Jodrell,  Eaq  ,  and  died  at  High

"TobSanctitart  of  a  Teoublkd  Soule."— 
Old  books  are  ralued  for  manifold  reftsons  :  some- 
times it  is  the  rarity ;  often  the  contents  ;  again 
the  fame  of  their  former  owners.  I  should  be  glad 
of  fuller  particulars  than  I  at  present  possess  about 
an  old  book  which  has  lately  fallen  into  my  hands. 
Bxtemally  it  is  a  Tolume  as  thick  as  it  is  broad, 
of  the  SIM  commonly  desmbed  as  32mo.,  in  wrap- 
IMiig  Tellnm  oorers,  with  green  ribbon  ties.  In- 
t»iuUj  it  eontaitts  a  title/' The  Saaotaaiy  of  a 


Troubled  Soule,"  by  Jo.  Haywarde,  Doctor  of 
Lawe  ;  London,  printed  by  George  Purslow,  1618. 
Dedication  to  George,  Archbishop  of  GanterbarT  ; 
a  long  advertisement  to  the  reader  ;  and  then  the 
fint  part  of  the  treatise.  A  title-page,  as  abore, 
introduces  the  second  part,  and  both  contain 
nearly  800  pages. 

The  contents  of  the  whole  Yolnme  are  most 
serious  and  well-written  meditations  on  the  Chris- 
tian relinon,  full  of  quaint  and  forcible  expres- 
sions, and  filled  with  a  most  sincere  piety.  The 
author  has  evidently  dabbled  in  the  medical  lore 
of  the  age,  and  takes  great  pleasure  in  showing 
his  knowledge,  especially  in  his  introduction,  after 
the  manner  of  worthy  Master  Burton,  in  the 
Anatomy  of  Mdancholy. 

But  there  is  another  matter  of  interest — the 
volume  seems  to  have  been  the  author's  own,  and 
is  filled  in  all  the  margins  with  notes  and  correc- 
tions for  a  future  edition.  But  before  this  waa 
done  be  gave  this  volume  to  a  friend,  with  this 
inscription  :  "  To  his  |;oode  friend  Master  William 
Jones,  Ticker  of  Musterworth."  In  Bigland's 
Liits  of  the  Vican  of  Minttenvorik  I  find  a  hiatus 
from  the  years  1561  to  1633.  The  above  note  will 
enable  us  to  fill  up  a  part  of  the  time,  seeing  that 
William  Jones  waa  ''vicker"  in  1618,  or  there- 
abouts. In  his  preface  the  author  hints  that  a 
portion  of  his  b(K)k  had  been  piratically  printed, 
so  that  in  a  manner  he  is  bound  to  set  forth  the 
whole  in  a  complete  and  authorized  form.  Of  the 
author's  life  I  can  find  nothing.  One  Sir  John 
Hayward  wrote  a  book  of  the  kings  of  England  in 
1613. 

A  portion  of  the  **  Sanctuary  "  is  taken  np  by  a 
series  of  explanatory  ejaculations  on  the  incidents 
of  our  3[iord's  Passion.  Here,  as  elsewhere,  the 
author's  style  is  quite  Swlnbumian  in  its  allitera- 
tive phrases,  a  few  of  which  I  cull  at  random — as 
"  heate  of  their  hate,"  "  malice  of  madness,"  "  fores 
of  thy  fire,"  "  myre  of  miseries,"  "  the  extremes  of 
vertue  are  vice,"  "  a  sword  to  sunder  the  sinews,* 
"  supposed  the  sight  of  him  sufficient,"  "  when  thiy 
breathed  the  blasts  of  blasphemy,"  "  not  prayer 
only,  but  pardon,"  '*  hungerly  hunt."  This  style 
is  80  nntisual  amongst  the  heavy  divines  of  ths 
period,  that  it  is  quite  refreshing. 
^  I  have  not  been  able  to  refer  to  Lowndes.  Hsi- 
litt,  or  the  British  Museum  for  any  particnlais  of 
the  book  or  author,  bat  I  believe  the  work  to  be 
very  rare.  ADtv  WlUUAMS.

Fklch,  Falch,  Fblt,  Foulkks,  &c, — I  have 
been  for  ten  or  twelve  years  tryioK  to  discover  the 
habitat  of  my  progenitors,  bat  without  avail,  and 
I  shall  be  deeply  K"i'cful  fo^  A^y  information 
bearing  on  the  aoove  names.  I  am  led  to  believe 
my  fiiiuily  came  from  Normandy  to  Enf^Iand, 
thence  probably  to  Wales,  and  from  either  Wales 
or  EogluDd  to  America.  The  name  perlmps  origi- 
nated in  the  Norman  Fulk,  and  by  permutation 
became  Ffelch.  My  own  original  American 
ancestor,  Henry  Ffelch,  sen.,  is  first  seen  in 
Gloucester,  Mass.,  1641,  with  wife  Margaret,  son 
Henry,  jun.,  and  two  or  three  daughters.  He  mav 
be  identical  with  Henry  Fookea  (Camden  Hottens 
List  of  EmiQran.t$)t  who  came  to  Borbodoes  1634, 
thence  to  Hartford,  Conn.,  1640,  and  later  to 
Watertown,  Moss.  Henry  Felch,  jun.,  had  wife 
Hannah  (Sargent),  probably  born  in  England. 
They  are  ancestors  of  all  tho  Felcha  in  America. 
George  Felcb  or  Felt,  born  in  England  or  Wales 
about  IGOl,  came  to  America  alwut  1612,  lived 
on  a  plantation  at  Great  Core,  Cosco  Bay, 
Mune  ;  then,  in  1633,  at  Mystic  Side  (Cbarles- 
towD,  Mass.);  then,  16G4  to  1631,  at  Casco;  then 
1681  to  1603,  at  Maiden  (Cbarleatown),  where  be 
died.  He  waa  ancestor  of  all  the  Felts  in  America, 
bat  his  name  was  originally  Felch  or  Ffolch.  This 
name  may  be  the  same  as  Folcb,  of  which  I  find 
mention  of  "  Petrus  Gerhardus  Falch  "  (evidently 
tn  ecclesiostio),  who  wrote  a  religious  work,  1094; 
•Uo  of  "  N.  Falch,  M.D.,"  the  aotbor  of  several 
works  on  su rgery  and  navigation,  published 
between  1771  and  1779  in  London.  The  Fulch 
crest  is  given  in  Fnirbairn,  also  in  the  liritith 
if er.iW  ( 1 830).  I  shall  be  very  grateful  for  any 
facta  concerning  the  Falch  family  and  coat  of  arms, 
or  the  two  representatives  of  the  family  above.  I 
have  consulted  Bnrdsley's  Surnama  and  other 
works,  but  in  vain  ;  have  tried  to  connect  the 
name  with  Fulk,  Count  of  Anjou,  with  "  Kichiard 
Ffolk,  the  ffyrst  Maer  of  Haverfort  West,"  with 
the  Foulkea  fomilies  of  Chester,  Denbigh,  and 
Merioneth,  but  in  vain.  I  have  also  notes,  kindly 
giveo  me  by  Mr.  Frank  Rede  Fowke,  on  Falcke, 
Falk,  Folke,  Fauloe,  Fauch,  Du  Faalx,  Faulque,

The  Cartitlaky  of  SPALmso  Priobt. — No 
little  has  been  written  about  Lucy,  Countess  of 
Chester,  while  much  turns  on  the  real  wording 
of  the  deed  in  the  Spalding  cartulary  quoted  by 
Stapleton,  whereby  *'  Hugh,  brother  of  Raniilf, 
Earl  of  Chester,  and  Matilda  his  wife,  JU*  jilU 
Lucie  eomitiiie"  granted  two  parts  of  the  Lithe 
of  their  demesne  in  Candlcfiby  to  the  monks  of 
Spitlding.  This  deed  waa  copied  by  Stapleton 
from  Cole*8  transcript,  and  be  takes  it  for  grunted 
that  "Bl'filie"  is  a  slip  of  the  pen  ioT  Jilin.  I 
cannot  see  bow  Cole  could  make  such  a  mistake, 
although  it  is  difficult  to  imcLgine  that  the  earl'i 
brother  married  the  granddaughter  of  his  sister-in- 
law.  Could  not  the  original  cartulary  be  consulted? 
We  know  that  it  was  formerly  in  tbe  poseeesion 
of  Mr.  Johnson,  of  Ayscough  Fee,  near  Spalding.

S  Aod  3.  SaadeNt  not  Saunders.  I  was  led  into 
this  blunder  hj  a  baity  glaooe  at  the  plate  pre- 
fixed to  Marraj's  (1838)  edition  of  Maore's  Li/c, 
-nbereon  the  painter  is  oamed  S»UDderB.  Jt  if, 
moreover,  quite  correct  to  say  tbat  the  picture  (not 
the  miniature)  belonged  to  Sir  John  Cam  Hob> 
house.  At  his  death  it  descended  to  his  daaghter, 
(he  present  L'ldy  Dorchester.  I  do  not  seem  to 
have  clearly  explnined  that  Sanders^  in  fact,  exe- 
cuted two  semblances  of  Byron  :  first,  a  fall- 
length  portrait  in  oils,  from  which  the  portrait 
preGxea  to  Murray's  standard  edition  of  Moore's 
Lift  is  taken  ;*  secondly,  a  miniature  copy  there- 
from, which  was  pronounced  by  Byron  to  be  un- 
faithful in  resemblance,  unlike  the  picture,  and  in 
every  way  discreditable  to  SaDdera  as  an  artist. 
The  plato  from  this  miniature  (and  perchance  the 
miniature  itself)  was  immediately  destroyed.  I 
mention  this  again  because  several  correspondents 
have  asked  me  to  explain  how  it  happened  that,  in 
the  fuoe  of  l^yron's  prohibition,  the  condemned 
portrait  was  prefixed  to  the  standard  edition  of 
Moore's  Li/e,  /xl/eri,  oMd  Journals  of  Lord  Byron, 

4.  I  thank  Mr.  Graves  for  the  correction.  Jly 
pen  slipped.  Westall's  portrait  (executed  either 
in  1813  or  1814,  probably  the  former  dat«)  was  not 
exhibited  in  the  Royal  Academy  until  1825.  I 
remember  entering  that  date  in  the  Byron  Loan 
Collection  CatAloeue,  issued  in  1877.  Ic  was  pur- 
chased by  Sir  Francis  Burdett,  from  whom  it 
descended  to  hid  daughter,  Lady  Burdett-Coutts. 
The  only  reference  I  can  find  to  this  work  is  in  a 
letter  from  Byron,  dated  April  21,  1813:  "I  am 
to  sit  to  him  [  Westall]  for  a  picture  at  the  request 
of  a  friend  of  mine  ;  and  as  Sanders*  is  not  a  good 
one,  you  will  probably  prefer  the  other." 

6.  In  the  Royal  Academy  I'ltalogue  for  1814, 
Doder  the  name  of  Thomas  Phillips,  Nns.  84  ond 
72  are  thus  described  :  "  Portrait  of  a  Nobleman 
in  the  Dress  of  un  Albanian  ";  and  *'  Portrait  of  a 
Nobleman."  I  take  it  (hat  No,  84  refers  to  the 
picture  belonging  to  Lord  Lovelace,  and  No.  72 
to  the  portrait  of  Byron  now  in  the  possession  of 
Mr.  Murray.  The  engraving  by  Agar  must  have 
been  execut«d  prior  to  1819,  for  we  find  Byron 
objecting  to  its  publication  in  1814,  Lord  Leigh's 
replica  was  also  exhibited  at  the  Albert  Hall  in 
1877. 

6.  I  conclude  that  the  portrait  exhibited  in 
1827  by  James  Holmes  was  not  taken  from  the 
life.  I  cannot  find  ony  reference  to  other  than  T. 
Holmes,  wJ)o  was  so  eminently  successful  as  a 
pointer  of  miniaturesi  The  foflowing  letter  bos

16.  Allusion  to  these  sketches  is  found  in  Lady 
Blessicgton's  Convenatioru  of  Lord  Hyron,  and 
also  in  Moore's  Xt/*,  &c.  They  were  executed  in 
crayon  by  Count  Alfred  D'Orsay  at  Genoa  in 
March,  1823,  Byron  being  then  thirty-fife. 

In  regard  to  Mr.  Graves's  supplementary  list, 
it  may  be  as  well  to  say  that  I  carefully  abstained 
from  allusion  to  works  (no  matter  bow  roeritorious 
in  tbeiuselvea]  which  were  not  actually  token  from 
tbe  life.  V^nless  those  named  by  Mr.  Graves 
were  so  taken,  they  would  not  come  within  the 
scope  of  my  original  intention.  Nor  do  I  Ibink 
that  silhouettes  would  be  .admissible  in  our  cata- 
logue of  busts  and  portraits.  Silhouettes  are, 
practically,  little  more  than  shadows,  or  at  best 
outlines,  which  depend  to  a  great  extent  npon 
acquaintance  with  the  original.  I  remember  tbe 
silhouette  to  which  Mr.  STEriiKSfi  refers,  and  I 
also  recollect  with  terrible  distinctness  that  work 
of  Leigh  Hunt's  which,  in  the  way  of  vindictive- 
ness,  did  certainly  out-Herod  Herod.

This  medal  was  the  work  of  an  apprentice  of  Mr. 
Uallid.iy,  of  Birmingham,  named  William  Wood- 
house,  who  afterwards  settled  in  Dublin  and  made 
several  medals  of  interest  It  was  his  first  essay 
ut  his  profession,  and  gained  for  him  the  silver 
medul  of  the  Duke  of  York  from  the  Society  of

Mr.  Woodbouse*s  son,  who  is  a  meilalist  like  bia

251X — I  must  apologize  to  C.  M,  I.  and  to  all  wha 
moy  have  done  me  the  honour  of  reading  my  note 
on  the  above  subject  for  inadvertently  writing 
"this  hitler'*  for  "the  former."  Allow  me  to 
remark,  in  the  first  plnce,  tb:Lt  tt  seems  to  be  clearly 
established  that  our  Lord  was  born  in  ihe  aotumu 
of  B  c.  5,  and  that  his  biiptttiui  by  John  took  place 
in  the  autumn  of  a. p.  26,  being  exactly  thirty 
years  afterwards  (Luke  iii.  23),  and  a  few  months 
before  the  Passover  mentioned  in  John  ii.  13.  But 
there  has  been  much  controversy  whether  the 
final  Passover  preceding  the  Brat  Eister  wasthe 
second  or  third  from  this,  \  r. ,  whether  one  or  two 
occurred  between  these.  One  only  is  mentioned 
in  such  a  way  as  to  leave  no  doubt  about  it,  that 
of  John  vi.  4,  when  our  Lord  did  not  go  up  to 
Jerusalem,  but  remained  in  Galilee.  If  this  was 
rcrtlly  the  only  one  which  took  place,  the  Cruci- 
fixion and  subsequent  events  must  have  occurred 
in  A.D.  29,  a  date  accepted  by  Mr.  Clinton  in  his 
Ftuti  RoTTiani  and  by  olber  authorities.  Bat  "a 
feast"  is  mentioned  in  Jr.hn  v.  1,  which  many  have 
thought  to  have  been  another  Passover,  though  (a?

correct  reading  is  eop-n)  or  t)  topnjf  and  there  is 
the  diBiculty  olf  mipposing  a  year,  or  nearly  bo,  to 
have  elapfed  between  that  time  and  the  occurreDCo 
narrated  in  the  next  chapter,  wben  another  Paas- 
over  was  approaching,  liut  it  is  always  unsafe  to 
argue  from  omissions  ;  and,  on  the  other  band,  Dr. 
Thomson  has,  I  think,  proved  in  bis  article  on 
*'  JesQs  Christ"  in  Smith's  THetionary  of  thi  BibU 
{referred  to  in  my  note),  by  comparing  the  accounts 
of  the  several  evangelists,  that  much  more  than  a 
year  must  have  been  occupied  between  the  Pass- 
overs mentioned  in  John  ii.  13,  and  in  John  vi. 
4,  where  we  once  more  stand  on  ground  common 
to  all  the  four  gospels.  The  time  during  which 
our  Lord  was  baptizing  (by  his  disciples)  near  the 
Jordan  was  probably  considerable,  and  lasted  till 
John's  impriflonniei^t ;  and  beeidea  that  duralioD, 
three  longcircuits,  neither  hurried  nor  partial,  were 
made  in  Galileo,  through  a  country  of  considerable 
population  and  containing  two  hundred  towns. 
These  are  referred  to  in  Matt.  ir.  S3-S5,  Luke 
viiL  1  (where  the  expression  is  used,  "  throughout 
every  oity  and  village''),  and  Malt.  ix.  35-38.  I 
think,  therefore,  that  the  internal  evidence  is  in 
favourof  another  Passover  baring  occurred  between 
those  of  John  ii.  13  and  vi.  4,  whether  it  be,  in 
fact,  the  '*  feast"  mentioned  in  John  v.  1  or  not, 
which  is,  pcihaps,  the  most  probable.  But  what 
I  wished  to  coll  spedol  attention  to  was  that,  from 
chronological  considerations,  our  Lord's  last  Puss- 
over,  just  before  the  Crucifixion,  took  place  in 
A.D.  30.  And  I  ventured  to  express  my  astonish- 
ment that  any  scholar  should  assign  it  to  the  old 
date,  A.D.  33,  now  that  it  is  universally  admitted 
that  the  Nativity  occurred  full  four  years  before 
the  Dionysian  or  vulgar  era.  W.  T.  Ltnm.

"A  Short  Uistort  of  FniuB  Ministers  iv 
Great  Bhitaix"  (G""  S.  vi.  489 ;  viL  233).— It 
is  generally  said  that  this  was  written  by  Eustace 
Jiudgell.  There  does  not  seem  to  be  any  distinct 
evidence  of  this,  for  the  statement  appears  to  rest 
mainly,  if  not  altogether,  upon  a  passafje  in  Cihber, 
lAves  of  the  PmIs,  1753,  v.  12 :  **  During  the  pub- 
lication of  the  Buj  a  smart  pamphlet  come  out 
called  A  Short  UUtory  of  Vfime  MinuUr$t  which 
Vras  generally  believed  to  be  written  by  our 
author."  The  title  of  the  pamphlet  is  "  A  Short 
iiitlory  of  rrime  MxnigUn  in  Great  Britain,  Lon- 
don,  Printed  by  H.  Haines  at  Mr.  Francklia's  in 
Russel  Street, Covent  Garden,  1 733,"  price  sixpence, 
8vo.  pp.  31.  It  was  intended  as  a  distinct  attack 
upon  tho  minister  of  the  day,  Sir  Robert  Wulpole, 
and  the  text  of  it  wns  that  all  leading  ministers 
who  became  royal  favourites,  or  acquired  the 
entire  control  of  the  royal  councils,  cama  to  an 
unfortunate  end,  either   death  to  Ihemaelrea   or 


deatructton  to  the  confiding  sovereign.  The  m^ 
of  the  pamphlet  clearly  is,  "  Wulpole  is  such  a 
one  !  What  will  his  end  be  1 "  but  the  writer  tne« 
to  divest  it  of  all  personal  character  by  saying, 
'*It  would  scarce  have  been  safe,  I  am  sure  it 
would  not  have  been  prudent,  thus  to  entertain 
the  Puhlick  with  the  dismal  consequences  that 
have  hitherto  followed  upon  vesting  all  power  in 
One  Man,  but  at  a  time  like  this  when  it  is  the 
joy  of  all  good  men  to  see  that  there  is  no  one 
Frinu  Minitier  at  the  helm,  but  that  several 
equally  able,  equally  virtuous  and  great  men, 
jointly  draw  on  the  well-balanced  Machine  of 
State." 

This  pamphlet  was  reprinted,  with  additions  and 
very  great  alterations,  in  1763  ;  being  then  in* 
tended  as  a  caution  to  the  Earl  of  Bute,  *'  who 
raised  himself  to  power  by  the  favour  of  bis  Prince, 
making  it  his  study  to  provide,  first  for  him- 
self, secondly,  for  his  friends  the  Scotch,  thirdly, 
for  the  nation,  with  an  EoRlish  Peerage  for  his 
lady."  The  title  of  this  Utile  book  is,  "  The  His- 
tory of  Prime  Ministeis  and  Fai0UTitt4  in  Eng- 
land  from  the  Conquat  ttojcn  to  the  Primit  Tim<, 
With  Reflections  on  the  fatal  consequences  of  their 
misconduct,"  &c,  London,  printed  forG.  Kearsley, 
in  Ludgate  Street,  1763.  Uvo.  pp.  163. 

These  two  publications  must  not  be  identified 
with  another  and  a  very  different  book,  having  a 
somewhat  similar  title,  and  brought  out  the  same 
year,  namely,  *'  Th«  Court  JttgiiUr  aiid  SltaU»mfan*t 
Remembranctr,  Containing  a  aeries  of  all  the  Oreat 
Officera,  Prime  Ministers  of  State,"  &e.,  London, 
printed  for  R.  Gosling  at  the  Crown  and  Mitre 
against  Fetter  Lane,  &c.,  1733,  8vo.  pp.  192.  This 
was  compiled  by  WilliuuiSliford,  formerly  amano- 
ensis  to  Browne  Willis,  of  Whaddon.  This  book, 
which  ia  a  very  useful  one,  has  been  several  times 
reprinted  ;  the  latest  edition  which  I  have  bears 
dat«  1782,  and  has  "a  cupious  index."  It  i<  a 
register  of  all  the  ohief  office-bearers  from  the 
of  the  Restoration,  and  is  utterly  void  of 
personal  or  political  bearing.  The  term,  "Pi 
Minister,"  which,  in  fact,  first  got  its  penoQl 
application  under  the  rule  of  Sir  Robert  WjUpoly 
is  used  in  a  very  different  aenso  in  these  tir< 
in  the  first  it  waa  applied  to  all  royal  fai 
quite  irrespective  of  the  particular  8l 
which  they  occupied,  wlitUt  in  the 
meimt  all  the  great  cSiecrs  of  State, 
favourites  with  royidty  or  not.  In  Sltford's

Jike  hardneaa  of  ciuch  puns,  &e.  In  St.  John  ii.  € 
we  mre  told  tbat  there  were  set  fix  itdmene  wnUr- 
falUt  ve.  SIX  "stain-en"  water-vat« ;  and  in 
Exodus  vit.  19  there  is  meutioo,  in  the  A.-S.  Ter- 
fiion,  of  Tftta  or  vessels  of  tree  (♦.  e.  wood)  and 
"atAinen"  vata.  In  these  passages  the  use  of 
*' slain  en  "  is,  of  course,  dae  to  the  occurrence  of 
tbe  words  lapidtce  and  $axcu  in  the  Vulgate  rer- 
«ion  from  which  the  A.-S.  translation  w&b  made; 
but,  independently  of  this,  there  ia  reason  to 
beliere  that  vessels  for  kitchen  use  werecoiumonly 
divided  bj  our  ancestors  into  vessels  of  metal, 
tree,  and  stone.  Thus,  Lye  cites  from  a  glossary 
the  A.-S.  stdena,  ah.,  Lat  gillOf  i.e,  a  atone  vessel 
holding  a  gill ;  and  Somner  (though  without  giv- 
ing hts  authority)  explains  the  same  word  as 
poculnm  paatoralt.  Pegge,  in  his  Ktnticisim 
(E.D.S.  C.  3,  p.  49).  tells  us  that  in  Derbyshire  ft 
sttan  pot  means  a  stone  pot,  whilst  in  Kent  (o

This  Kentish  verb  is  precisely  the  A.-S.  stuenan^  to

clear  that  the  Devonshire  ttain  repreaenta,  not  the 
A.-S.  iMfi,  stone,  but  the  modi^ed  form  stden-  as 
occurring  in  the  adjective  ttdtn-en  and  tbe  verb 
fUUn^an.  It  ia  highly  important  in  scientific  ety- 
mology to  pay  great  heed  to  the  vowel-sounds. 

The  word  morl  is  duly  given  by  UalliveUas  the 
Devon  word  for  hog's  lord.  The  usual  sense  of 
tnori  is  "abnndance,"  as  well  illustrated  in  the 
Skropihirt  Word-Book;  but  I  suppose  there  ia 
DO  connexion  whatever  between  these  homonyms.

The  word  ttain,  said  to  be  nsed  in  Devon  as  the 
name  of  a  large  clay  pan,  is  common  in  Salop,  and 
has  tbe  same  meaning  there.  It  is  spelt  ff«an, 
and  my  friend  Miss  G.  F.  Jackson,  in  her  Shrop' 
thirt  If'ord-Bjok,  defiDes  it  as  "a  deep  earthen 
vessel  used  for  various  household  and  aairy  pur- 
poses." I  have  a  stcan  which  is  used,  I  believe,  aa 
a  washing  tub  ;  but  tbe  Southron  women  tell  mo 
that  galvanir^d  iron  is  nowadays  the  proper  thing 
to  wash  in.  Mias  Jackson  nuotes  the  phrase

Tub  Family  Name  Anglik  (6»*  S.  tL  637).— 
The  earliest  record  of  the  name  of  Anglin  in 
Jamaica  is  lliut  of  William  Anglin,  planter,  in 
the  pnriflh  oF  H.inover,  in  172G  ;  vrho  was  the 
f-reat-grandfather  of  tbe  first  Lord  Abinger.  Th« 
fivuiily  have  supposed  the  nante  to  be  of  Fre 
Huguenot  origin,  but  I  have  never  been 
to  tnice  it  to  a  French  source,  and 
D.  Q.  R.*s  idea  of  the  name  being 
Scanaiaaviaa  origin  to  be  the  right 


quite  lately  found  a  mention  of  the  name  in  tha 
pedigree  of  O'Donovan,  as  follows  :  "  Honora, 
fifth  dau;;hter  of  Teige  O'Donovan,  and  grand- 
danghter  of  Donell  O'Donovan,  chieftain  of  Clan- 
cahell,  married  Dermod  Anglin.  She  died  I67-." 
If  D.  Q.  R.  knows  of  any  other  notices  of  the 
name  of  Anglin  I  should  be  much  interested,  at  I 
have  hitherto  quite  failed  in  tracing  the  family. 

B.    F.   SCARLITT. 

I  am  aDxioua  to  ascertain  some  particulars 
of  the  family  of  Phillip  Anglin,  of  Paradise 
Estate,  Jamaica,  as  also  of  the  families  of  HinCt 
Morris,  Mowat,  Barnard,  Scarlett,  and  Oordoo*

ferred to,  or  any  farther  particulars  of  these 
families,  and  especially  those  relating  to  the  setUo>

Eastbb  Day  os  Marcit  25  (G***  S.  vii.  2t)0, 
206,  £00,  252).— My  friend  Mr.  Princr  is  qnito 
correot  in  saying  tbat  Eaater  Day  fell  on  March  25 
in  Entjliind  ia  the  years  1733  and  1744,  not  in 
173  L  and  1742.  The  fact  is  that  from  the  change 
of  style  at  Rome  in  1S82  until  its  adoption  in 
England  in  1762,  Easter  was  kept  at  a  different 
date  in  this  country  from  what  it  was  in  great 
part  of  Western  Europe,  j  ust  as  Western  Europe 
keepa  it  on  a  ditferent  day  from  Eastern  Europe 
(where  are  followed  the  rules  of  the  Greek  Ohurcn) 
now.  In  that  interval  Easter  fell  on  March  S15, 
by  the  Julian  reckoning  (then  still  observed 
in  Eogland),  six  times,  in  the  years  1627,  1038, 
1C49,  1722,  1733,  and  1744  ;  and  on  the  other 
hand,  by  tbe  Gregorian  reckoning,  only  four  times, 
in  the  years  1GG3,  1674,  1731,  and  1742.  The 
only  thing  I  do  not  understand  ia  Mr.  Princb^s 
reference  to  Gosseodi  giving  1733  and  1744  as 
dates  on  which  Easter  fell  on  March  25,  for  I 
should  have  thought  Gassendi  would  have  used 
the  Gregorian  reckoning.  The  more  one  thinks 
of  the  subject  the  more  one  regrets  that  a  uniform 
rule  for  keening  Easter  was  not  adopted.  Clarias

Leonardo  da  Vinci,  Michael  Angelo,  Domenichino,

it  was  reported  by  the  Ecclesiastical  Courts  in

with  heresy,  is  to  be  found  in  Fox's  AcU  and

in  this  will,  to  the  effect  that  it  was  "  faith  which 
made  a  man  good  and  righteous,"  and  that  it  was 
"not  a  good  work  which  made  a  good  man,  bat  a 
good  man  who  made  a  good  work,"  the  body  of 
Tracy,  after  two  vears'  interment,  was  exhumed  by

Tbk  Haiqs  of  Brmerstde  (G**"  S.  vii.  102,  1&2» 
194,  S31).— At  the  last  reference  Mr.C.  E.  Haio 
anya,  "Anthony  Hatg,  of  Beinersyde,  was  either 
wholly  ignorant  of  the  fate  of  his  uncles  or  wil- 
fully allowed  a  grave  error  to  remain  uncorrected." 
Jt  eeeme  to  nie  the  reusou  for  Anthony  Uaig's  con- 
duct is  very  plain.  His  lawsuit  in  1G72  had 
exposed  the  fact  that  bis  title  to  Bemersyde  was 
fl  bad  one  ;  and  he  knew  that  the  way  in  which 
be  had  **  completed  his  title  to  the  estate  in  1G7£  " 
(as  InQTimKR  enphemistically  describes  the  trans- 
action) was  not  worth  a  ahilliug  if  aoy  of  his 
father's  elder  brothers  (there  were  four,  Robert, 
George,  James,  William)  or  their  descendants 
fihould  hear  of  it  and  dispute  the  euccession. 
Therefore  he  had  a  distinct  interest  in  misleading 
Obadiah  Haig,  because  it  takes  sixty  years  in 
Scotland  to  give  a  title  to  land,  and  his  charter 
from  tbe  Crown  (granted  on  an  ex  yarte  statement) 
was  only  twenty-six  or  twenty-seven  years  old. 
Now,  if  he  had  told  his  active  and  inquisitive 
Yunkoo  nephew  Obadiah  (eager  to  draw  out  the 
family  pedigree)  that  there  were  Il&igs  in  Stirling- 


shire and  Clackmannanshire,  that  gentleman  un- 
doubtedly would  have  visited  them,  found  out 
who  and  what  tbey  were,  and  possiblv  have  "  let 
the  cat  out  of  the  bag."  This,  I  think,  truly  ex- 
plains why  Anthony  told  Obadiah  such  a  cock 
and  bull  story,  which  the  title-deeds  in  his  posses- 
sion (he  had  gone  carefully  through  them  twenty- 
six  years  before)  must  have  told  him  wa.i  utterly 
inconsistent  with  known  (acts.  H.  P.  R, 

A  LANCAsnTRK  Ballao  (e***  S.  vi.  269,  415, 
476). — The  "Lancashire  ballad"  quoted  io  your 
columns  some  time  b.ick  is,  or  was,  also  known  in 
Buckinghamshire.  Between  fifty  and  sixty  years 
ago  1  bad  a  nursemaid  from  Wobum,  near  High 
NVycombe,  in  that  county,  who  used  to  sing  it  to 
me.  It  was  a  mere  fragment,  wanting  a  beginning, 
and  tagged  on  to  the  close  of  a  curious  veratou  of 
the  ballad  of  St.  Hugh  of  Lincoln,  which  in  its 
turn  wanted  an  end.  The  form  of  tbe  ballad  was 
the  same  as  that  given  by  your  correapoadent. 
One  coudemned  to  death  appeals  successively  to 
father,  mother,  and  other  relatives  to  ransom  him 
in  vain.  At  lost  his  "  true  love*'  come.<!,  and  does 
what  his  unnatural  reUtives  have  refused.  The 
stanzas,  which  by  the  substitution  of  various  re- 
latives admitted  of  almost  indefinite  multiplica- 
lion,  ran  thus,  as  far  as  I  can  remember : — 
**  Uold  up  thy  band,  most  rigliteouj  judge. 
Hold  up  ihy  hand  awhile. 
For  lierc  I  icc  niy  own  deur  father 

Cumo  tumblidR  uier  tbe  itila. 
Oh  \  hut  thou  brouisht  me  silver  or  £otd 

Or  jewels  to  set  me  free, 
Or  but  thou  eeme  to  see  me  hung. 

For  banged  I  ih&il  be  f 
If  I  codM  get  out  of  this  prickly  buih, 

That  prickles  my  heart  wo  lore. 
If  I  could  get  out  of  this  prickly  bosh  < 

I  'il  never  get  ia  it  no  more." 
"  Oh  1  I  bare  brought  nor  silver  nor  goU 
Nor  jewels  to  8«t  thee  free, 
But  I  liare  come  to  see  the«  hunic. 
For  hanged  tbou  shall  be." 

Mother,  brother,  sister,  uncle,  aunt,  &c.,  succeed. 
At  last  comes  tbe  *'own  true  love,"  who  replies:—- 
"  It'«  I  bave  brought  tbes  silver  and  gold 
And  jtwels  to  set  thee  Tree; 
X  hare  uot  come  to  i«o  thee  hung. 
For  hanged  tbou  shall  not  bo. 

And  tbe  ballad  ends  with  the  triumphant  bunt,— 
"  N'ow  I  bare  sot  out  of  tbia  prickly  bush, 
That  prickled  my  heart  so  sore, 
Now  I  have  got  ont  of  this  prickly  busb,

On  Peel  Hitl,  in  the  lale  of  Man,  Is  a  tower,  at 
the  foot  of  which  a  Mr.  Corrin  and  bis  wife  are 
buried.  He  was  a  Dissenter,  and  wished  to  show 
that  bodies  could  ba  buried  beyond  the  shadow  of 
the  church,  Tbo  highest  point  of  bin  eatat«  was 
therefore  choseD,  and  a  conspicuous  tower  erected 
there  to  commemorate  the  fact  and  to  act  as  his 
tomb.  The  fact  is,  in  truth,  perpetuated  by 
"Corrin's  Folly"  more  thoroughly  than  hia  de- 
■cendants  desire.     Some  time  ago  the  then  owner 

the  estate  wiafaed  to  demolish  the  tower  ;  but 
this  wo^  objected  to,  as  it  bud  been  noted  on  the 
Admiralty  charts,  and  referred  to  in  the  sailing 
directions  as  an  easily  recognized  landmark.  Tbe 
Board  of  Trade  ultimately  bought  it,  to  ensure  its 
permanence.  Erkest  B.  Savaob.

whoso  paternal  ancestor  sat  in  Parliament  in  Scot-

much  longer  than  most  other  countries  the  ancient 
practice  of  admitting  every  tenant  in  capiie  to  a 
seat  in  the  Great  Council  of  tbe  realm,  at  least, 
erery  tenant  of  on  entire  barony.  The  descend-

Tb  Friday  aw  Ukldckt  Dat?  (6*  3.  tL  147, 
298,  317.  376.)— The  old  English  ballad  of  Th

of  the  legendary  bod  luck  attendant  on  a  Toyng9 
begun  on  a  Friday.  Coming  disaster  ia  iadicat«l 
at  the  very  outset  in  these  terms  (quoted

"  On  Friday  mom  when  we  set  bM.

The  sailors  instantly  perceive  that  their  doom  u 
sealed,  snd  the  captain  and  the  "  tittle  cabin-bo^" 
are  made  to  record  the  special  severity  of  their 
respective  circumstances.  Then  the  narrator, wlUi 
the  bold  licence  assumed  by  bini  who  spinners 
yarn,  thus  touches  off  with  jutbetic  realism  Utt 
fate  of  himself  and  bis  fellow  voyngera  : —

am  a  Cumbrian  by  birtb.  Mr.  Jacksox  does 
not  hit  the  point.  The  Bishop  of  Carlisle  (as  re- 
ported) used  the  word  without  any  qnulifyisg 
epithet,  aa  if  *'a  laaa"  was  necessarily  '^not  bo 
goofl  as  she  should  be."  This  is  what  I  demur  to. 
A  lau  aimply=a  girl,  and,  for  anything  we  know, 
every  one  of  the  "hallelujah  lasses**  may  be,  like 
Burns's  "lass  on  Cesanock  banks,"

Drrden's  employment  of  the  term  Uuiu^  in  hie 

translation  of  Ovid's  Art  of  Lovt  (i.  3tXi),  is  pro- 
bably indicative  of  the  sense  in  which  it  was  nsed 
OS  a  descriptire  definition  in  the  days  of  the 
**  ribald  king  and  court'': — 

"Thus  far  the  sportful  Muse,  with  myrtle  bound. 
Has  sung  where  loroly  lasses  may  be  found." 

In  Scotland  the  wnrd  haa  a  strictly  honourable 
significance,  especially  in  the  diminutive  form. 
One  of  the  feature?  of  Principal  Sbairp'a  idyl,

original  and  entertaining.  IJti  theory  of  the  world'9 
hifltury,  like  the  ?c&ndinnTian  word  whit'h  formt  the 
title  of  his  Tolume,  is  wild  and  forTnid.ible,  The  earth 
wKSOum  a  paradise  peopled  by  hiiihly  civilized  races, 
int  thidr  happiness  was  rudely  disturbed  by  an  anwet- 
ooma  visitor.  A  comet  struck  this  planet,  burying  Ua 
eurfaoa  benrath  the  masses  of  gravel  and  other  sub- 
ataooes  which  tlien  formed  its  tail  and  now  constituto 
the  drift  formation.  The  legends  cf  all  nations  preserve 
tbe  record  of  this  world-wide  catastrophe.  From  every 
quarter  of  the  globe  he  collects  evidence  of  the  universal 
race  belief  that  tbe  world  was  destroyed  by  a  feaKol 
monster,  serpentine  in  form,  breathing  forth  smoke  and 
£«me,  moving  tn  the  air.  Tbe  books  of  Job  and  Genesis 
are  called  in  to  prove  his  theory,  which  be  eupports 
with  great  ingenuity  and  apparent  oonrlction.  Tbe  non- 
intervention of  sapemataral  appearanees  in  social  life 
fosters  scepticism  ,  but  Mr.  Donelly  is  determined  that 
this  excuse  shall  not  be  possible  for  incredulity  of  his 
«omet.  If  phoats  came  amung  company  and  candles 
they  might  win  belief;  and  it  is  on  this  pTinciple  that 
Mr.  Donelly  attributes  the  Chicago  fire  in  1S71  to  Biela'a 
comet.  Mr.  Donelly  throughout  holds  a  brief  for  his 
comet.  He  nrKues  its  esse  Tigorously  ;  but  much  of  the 
evidence  which  ho  adduces  is  addressed  rather  to  the 
Jai7  than  the  bench. 

Tht  Genealogut.     Edited  bj  O.  W.   Marshall,    LL.D. 

Vol,  VI.  (Bell  &  Sons.) 
Tx  the  volume  for  1  $82,  now  before  us.  our  correspondent 
Pr.  0.  \V.  Marshall  carries  out  in  further  detail  sercral 
of  the  good  works  which  we  have  noted  as  features  of 
the  previous  volume.  Tbe  C'alcnditr  of  Lnmbeth  Wills, 
representing  a  source  of  information  up  to  tbe  present 
time,  we  believe,  but  little  used,  is  eminently  utteful  to 
all  genealogists,  owing  to  tbe  ccntrml  and  accessible 
place  of  deposit  of  the  store  of  wealth  it  discloses.  The 
Vtsitetioni  of  Lincolnshire.  151>2,  and  Berkihife,  1564-^, 
both  edited  under  the  very  competent  superrision  of 
Sir.  Walter  C.  Metcalfe.  P.t^.A.,  have  been  already  cited 
by  us  from  time  to  time  as  throwing  light  on  points 
mised  by  some  of  our  numerous  genealoj^ical  qiierifts.  In 
their  completed  shape  they  will  prove  most  valuable 
auxiliaries  to  researches  into  family  history.  In  com- 
xnencine  to  print  Worcester  Diocesan  Marriage  Licenoei 
L>r.  0.  W.  Alarshall  is  to  a  great  extent  breakinf!  virgin 
Mil,  though  it  should  not  be  forgotten  that  the  Surtecs 
ijooiety  snowed  the  wa^  as  regards  some  of  the  north'irn 
counltett  and  for  a  penod  anterior  to  the  ReformatioD, 
In  ibe  way  of  criticism,  we  remark  that  Mr.  Foster's 
notes  on  the  Commissioners  to  the  8cottish  Parliament 
aad  the  Marjotlbanki  pedigree  meet  with  very  serious 
fiounter  criticism  at  tbe  bands  of  Lyou  and  hyon  Clerk 
I>c|mte.  We  commend  ti>1.  vi.  of  the  Ome'alogiit  as 
keeping  well  op  to  a  bigh  standard  of  interest  anifralue.

of  tbe  abbey  of  St.  Albans.     The  larger  and   more 
Taluable  portion  of  these  documents  is  now  published  for 
the  6rst  time,  and  tbe  editor  ha«  exhibited  much  patient 
ingenuity  fn  reducing  them  to  chronological  order.     He 
has  added   In  an  appendix  a  description  of  all    the 
armorial  shields  which  are  tricked  or  btaxnned  in  (he 
.M8.  of  Matthew  Paris.     They  are  probably  the  oldest 
heraldic  drawings  in  existence,  and,  if  they  ware  not 
actually  designed  by  Matthew  Paris  himself,  rr---  ■-- 
tainly  executed  under  his  dtreetion  in  tbe  Sci; 
at  St.  Albans  before  1259.     A  second  appendii  1

portant letters  were  not  copied  at  all  in  the  VatioaA. 
register,  whilst  there  ore  ntany  others  of  almost  «^ 
value  wliich  were  unknown  to  Matthew  Paris.

that  this  new  venture  is  unui^UEiIIy  rich  in  uiatfrial  1

THE  CELTIC  SUBSTRATUM  OF  ENOLAND. 

I.    CELTIC   BANCTDAfllKS  0VKB6HAD0WED, 

It  hM  been  Utely  wked  (G«>  S.  vi.  209,  293) 
coDcerDtDg  two  parUhes  in  Herefordshire,  St. 
DeTereux  and  St.  VVeonards»  whether  the  family 
oamo  Deverenx  was  derived  from  the  first,  und 
what  waa  the  origin  of  each  of  the  two  names  of 
the  plftcea.  These  places  are  both  in  the  territory 
which  forms  the  deanery  of  Irchingfield  or  Arcben- 
fleld,  now  in  the  county  and  dioce«e  of  Hereford, 
bat  formerly  belonging  to  the  see  of  Llandaff.  It 
ia  a  district  on  the  western  or  Welsh  shore  of  the 
Wye,  at  that  part  of  the  river  which  seema  to  have 
been  accepted  as  a  substitute  for  Offa'a  Dyke^  at 
the  interval  where  it  rendered  the  cootiomty  of 
the  dyke  unnecessary. 

A3  to  St.  Dcvereux,  it  is  very  far  more  likely 
that  the  family  name  is  derived  from  the  place 
than  the  contrary,  except  that  the  present,  appa- 
rently Norman, complection  of  theplace-DAme  may 
be  a  reflection  hack  npon  it  of  a  Norman  afffcta- 
tion  in  the  family  name.  The  district  of  Archcn- 
^Id,  of  which  the  ante-Saxon  name  was  "  Erg- 
yng,"  was  oae  of  the  scenes  of  the  most  active  of 
the  mi«sionary  laboura  of  St.  Dyfrig^Dubricius, 
reputed  firet  British  Bishop  of  Llandaf!  ;  and  the 
chapel  of  St.   Dcverenx  ia  one  of  at  least  four 


dedications  in  this  limited  district  which  still 
preserve  hie  name.  Oae  of  them  la  HentUnd, 
where  he  is  said  to  have  founded  a  famoos  oollegVi 
another  is  Whitchurch,  and  Ballingham  another; 
all  within  about  ten  miles.  St.  Oyfrig  was  a 
contemporary  of  Sl  David,  and  one  of  the  moat 
oonapioQona  agents  of  the  Davidian  apostolate.  St. 
David  baa  ako  eevcral  dedications  in  Archenfield^ 
one  of  them  at  Kilpeck,  close  to  St.  Dcvercux  ; 
besides  these,  traces  of  David's  name,  Dewi^ 
remain  in  the  secular  names  of  several  neighluur- 
iiig  purishea,  where  most  likf*ly  his  earlier  dedica- 
tion has  been  usurped  by  other?,  less  national. 

The  influence  of  the  name  of  St.  Darid,  althongh 
very  great  in  South  Wales,  has  left  no  trace  in 
the  north.  Ilia  dedications  are,  of  course,  very 
numerous  in  the  south-wcatem  diocese  which  bears 
his  name,  and  only  less  so  in  Llandafl^,  loclLidiog 
the  anciently  subject  deanery  of  Archeu6eld  in 
Oerefordphire ;  but  his  uame  is  not  found  amonfr 
those  of  either  of  the  two  northern  diocespt  of 
Bangor  and  St.  Asaph.  It  extends,  however. 
Hcrosg  the  Severn  sea,  being  several  times  foand 
in  CornwaU,  Devon,  and  even  Somerset.  The 
less  frequent  dedications  of  St.  Dyfrig  have  the 
same  geographical  limitation  to  South  Wales  and 
one  in  Somerset.  In  the  legendary  lives  of 
Dyfrig  he  has,  however,  been  said  to  bare  finally 
retired  from  his  bishopric  of  Llandaff  into  the 
famous  aeclusioQ  of  Bardaey  Island,  off  Camar- 
yonehire  ;  but  there  ia  no  other  trace  of  his  name 
in  North  Wales,  end  it  may  be  worth  looking  into 
whetJier  there  has  not  been  somo  textnal  con- 
fasion  of  "  Enlli,"  the  ancient  name  of  the  Cat^ 
narvonshire  island,  with  "Echni,"  now  known 
M  the  "  Flat  Holm,"  in  his  own  dioocee  of 
Llindaff,  which,  although  only  ten  miles  snuth  of 
his  see,  is  almost  as  inacoessible  n  Kecttision,  and 
waH  often  adopted  as  a  Patmos — by  St.  Gildas,  for 
example.  It  may  be  worth  noting,  too,  that  this 
islana  in  the  Severn  estuary  is  as  if  a  stepping- 
stone  across  the  channel  from  hifi  Silurian  tern- 
toiy  to  bis  only  remaining  dedication  on  the 
southern  promontory,  at  Porlock,  to  wbich  port 
he  mny  have  made  missionary  vifiitf.  The  dedi- 
rations  of  tho^e  early  times  often  indicate  a  spot 
frequented  by  a  misaionnry  in  his  preaching  visits, 
afterwards  commemorated  by  a  cross  and  then  a 
church.  Tbo  dedications  to  St.  Aldhelm  at 
Bi&hopstrow=:tree,  and  other  outekirta  of  his 
forest  diooeae  of  Sherborne  or  Selwood  are  such  & 
case.  As  a  more  famous  example  of  this  motivey 
the  site  of  "Augustine's  Oak"  is  believed  to  be 
now  covered  by  a  St.  Augustine's  Chnrch.  The 
ancient  names  of  the  two  iaUnds  will  be  seen  to 
have  some  external,  though  not  satisfactory,  like- 
ness, and,  so  far  as  I  see,  can  only  be  identified  by 
that  last  subterfuge,  an  assumed  early  mistran- 
scription. 

Like  St,  Deierenx,  the   name   St.  Weonud

repeats,  disguised  in  an  Knglish  orthography,  the 
name  of  its  chtipel  or  church.  In  the  Liber  Llan- 
daveniis  (pp<  2C3,  546)  it  appears  as  "  Llan  sant 
GaaiDerth,"aIthoagh  in  Pope  Nicholas's  Taxation^ 
A.D.  1291,  it  i«  "EcoPitt  S'ci  WayDard,"  and  in 
King  Henry  Vlll/a  Valor  it  also  appears  ai 
"SancV  Wsynard,'*  The  Welsh  form  enables  us 
to  identify  CJuainerlh  with  another  dedicatiou, 
"Gwinnear,"  among  the  crowd  of  Irish  dedica- 
tione — so  freely  mixed  with  Damnonian,  Armori- 
can,  and  Cambrian  ones  — in  West  Cornwall, 
which,  more  remot«  from  Englt&h  iniliience 
than  that  in  Herefordshire,  baa  not  suffered 
o  jnnch  change,  but,  like  the  Ilereford&hire 
one,  continues  to  be  the  most  common  secu- 
lar name  of  the  pariah.  The  Oorniafa  one 
docs,  however,  appear  in  the  Ttuation  of  a.v. 
1291  as  *'  Wynyery,"  and  the  place  is  now  some- 
times written  "  Winniar."  "  Wynnear,"  &c.  Arch- 
bishop Usher  writes  of  tiis  saint  aa  "  Fingar  aire 
Giiiener,"  ore  of  the  associates  of  St.  Patrick 
(Pi-imo)^.,  Dublin,  1639,  pp.  801,  868, 1113).  The 
equivalence  of  Irish  /  aud  Cambrian  ^c  or  w  is 
well  known,  as  may  be  seen  in  Prof.  Rhys'H  Sixth 
Lecture,  or  even  in  the  talk  of  the  Highlanders— 
"fite"  for  white,  &c.— in  Scott's  novels.  There 
is  a  St.  Gwineur  at  Llangeinor  in  Glamorgan,  aud 
some  others  both  under  the  sees  of  IJandaff  and 
St.  Davids,  besides  some  others  Ihere  which  hare 
probably  been  corrupted  into  simtlar  names.  Lobi- 
neau  mentions  several  existing  dedications  of  "  S. 
Guignier,  autremcnt  S.  Fiogar,"  in  Armorica. 

There  is,  Indeed,  one  otherwise  well-known 
name  which  may  pouibly  be  identified  with  Fingar 
or  Quigner.  This  is  St.  Oyngar  or  Cungar,  also 
ft  follower  of  Dubricius,  uirually  noted  with  the 
aliai  or  surname  "  Docwin."  His  name  seems  to 
have  an  equal  etymological  claim  with  that  of 
Gaigner  to  identity  with  Fingar,  and  the  topo- 
graphical distribution  of  the  two  sets  of  names  is 
remarkably  concurrent  and  of  equal  nautical 
access,  nlthougb  their  legendary  history  ia  diver- 
gent. The  name  of  Cyngar  remains  in  Somerset 
in  the  name  of  Congresbury,  sud  is  the  actual 
surriving  dedication  of  the  church  of  the  neigh- 
bouring parish  of  Badgwortb.  One  of  each  of 
theae  two  places  is  on  what  mnit  have  been  the 
shores  of  the  two  adjoining  estoaries  of  the  Yeo 
and  the  Axe,  which,  now  allavial,  (lank  the  two 
sides  of  Lfae  western  tail  of  Mendip.  Harpefield 
(p.  43),  quoting  Capgrave,  also  says  that  this 
"CvDgarvs,  quem  Docuioum  api>elljint,"  founded 
A  monastery  on  the  opposite  coast  of  Glamorgan, 
DO  donbt  the  same  as  in  the  Gweutian  Oaradoo  is 
reported  (a.d.  987)  as  a  choir  with  his  name, 
ravaged  by  the  Danes.  This  must  have  been  the 
"Docunni"  of  the  three  great  monaaleries  of 
Glamorgan — Llancarvan,  Llanilltyd,  and  Docunni. 
There  seems  to  be  ulso  a  spot  still  called  "Nant 
y  CjDgar"  between  Cowbiidge  and  Llancarran 


(Camhr.  Br,  &itnf«,  p.  380).  Under  his  8UmBm& 
Docwin  be  may  be  repeated  at  the  opposite  poxc 
of  Walchet,  of  which  the  ptirish  is  "  St.  Deca- 
man's,"  and  here  again  be  would  be,  in  Somerset^ 
a  near  neighbour  of  St.  Dubricius  at  Porlock. 
His  reputed  festival  is  August  27,  and  Leland 
calls  him  St.  Decoo.  He  may,  therefore,  rathsr 
be  "Deocbain  Aedh"  of  the  Martyrology  of 
Donegal,  August  31. 

The  name  "St.  Wconards."  at  all  events,  ia 
evidently  an  example  of  a  Cellio  name  disguised 
as  an  Anglo-Saxon  one,  and  the  transformation  i« 
so  complete  as  to  include  that  now  sonrce  and 
almost  obsolescent  English  peculiarity  the  diph- 
thong to.  The  Celtic  substance  of  the  name  re- 
mains, but  concealed  by  a  perfect  English  veneer  ; 
snd  there  can  be  Uttlo  doubt  that  the  same  perfect 
transformation  exists  in  a  very  great  number,  per- 
haps the  majority,  of  ancient  English  place-names 
over  the  whole  of  England,  including  that  exten- 
sire  area  that  has  been  nsually  given  up  without 
even  a  suspicion  of  this  continuance.  It  may  ba 
worth  while  to  refer  again  to  the  cose  (6'^  ^.  T. 
131)of*'CaGr  Eurauc,"  (he  Anglian  mere  trani- 
literation  or  imitation  of  which,  "  Eoferwio,"  re- 
sulted in  an  apparent  original  construction  out  of 
words  of  known  meaning,  which  would  have 
satislied  the  ultimate  cravings  of  etymology  if  the 
object  obviously  imitated  had  passed  out  of  know- 
ledge. "  Caer  Eurauc ''  had,  however,  been  already 
attested  by  the  earlier  homage  of  the  Koman  imi* 
tation  "  Eburacuiu.'*  In  all  the  books  that 
nowadays  received  as  decisive  authorities  for 
earlier  history,  it  is  held  to  be  a  final  proof 
place  is  of  Anglo-Saxon  origin  that  the  name 
is  "  English  upon  tbe  face  of  it."  A  diatini^ 
and  most  valuable  antiquary,  Mr.  G.  T.  Clarl 
long  since,  speaking  nt  Ewyns  Harold,  in 
field,  declared  that  the  whole  of  that  district 
English,  and  that  the  more  ancient  peojile  and 
that  belonged  to  them  had  been  completely  8Wi 
away  by  the  Saxon  settlers,  and  in  proof  of  this 
quoted  the  plnin  evidence  of  the  name  of 
field  and  tbe  other  place-names  in  tlie  ne: 
hood.  But  Ewyas  itself  is  tbe  name  of 
saint,  Iwyus  of  Wilton  in  Archenfield, 
have  seen  above  that  "  Archenfield  "  or  "  i  ^ 
field  "  pre-existed  as  '*  Ergyng,"  and  among  oihet 
similar  witnesses,  Dyfrig,  Guainerth,  aud

darlceT  und  prescript  s^e,  and,  having  nerer  in  fall 
UT&7  coafrontcd  the  CanterbuTy  inocuktion,  are 
Bcarcelj  remembered,  tbou|;;h,  judging  from  tfaeir 
footstep?,  still  diBceroible  upon  the  material  face 
of  the  laud,  they  must  have  bad  a  vide  preTaleace. 
The  Fingar  or  Quigner  abore  mentioned  is  re- 
corded  among  the  nnmerous  Irish  missionaries, 
who,  having  landed  at  Hayle,  have  covered  the 
western  promontory  of  Cornwall  with  their  DfvmcB, 
still  surviving  in  the  dedications  of  churches. 
-Others  landed  at  Padatow  and  other  porta  of  both 
■ides  of  the  Bristol  Channel,  and  their  names  still 
remain  among  the  dedications  and  in  the  names 
of  places  pretty  thickly  scattered  alor^g  upon  both 
the  Cambrian  and  Diimnonian  seabnards,  with  a 
broad  inland  margin  as  they  passed,  and,  as  in  our 
example  of  St.  Weonards,  between  the  Monnow 
and  the  Wye,  np  into  the  tributary  rivers ;  and 
we  sball  see  that  they  may  have  even  penetrated 
far  inland  from  this  centre  of  immigration.  We 
are  dealing  with  only  one  example  of  many  such 
Irish  names  so  deposited  on  these  two  shores,  and 
the  nautical  habits  which  may  account  for  them 
will  not  be  wondered  at  when  it  is  seen  that  Bt. 
Brandon,  the  example  of  whoso  Atlantic  expedition 
is  said  to  hare  inspired  Columbus,  has  bis  name 
still  fixed  upon  several  of  these  spots.  As  to  the 
legends  of  theee  persons,  they  are  embarrassed  by 
-difUcultiea  such  as  entangled  chronology,  several 
persons  to  one  name,  an  uncertain,  or  at  least  not 
yet  studied,  system  of  orthographical  change,  and 
above  all  a  complete  superfusion  of  miraculous 
'fable,  which  hare  repelled  tbesirtinga  of  scienttfio 
criticism  through  the  evasion  of  contempt.  Critics 
are  more  engaged  with  the  wolf-sucklings  of  Italy. 
But  whatever  their  legends  maybe,  these  localised 
names  are  fdcta  actually  present  to  us — may  be 
seen,  criticized,  and  realised;  and  it  is  believed 
that  their  relative  places  and  groupings  and  topo- 
graphical asaooialions  present  a  more  ancient  text 
of  much  real  history,  wrilteo — outside  parchment 
and  paper,  the  fenced  pasture  of  acholarsbip — upon 
the  land  itself  and  its  margins. 

For  another  example,  there  has  been  much 
puzzle  about  the  origin  of  the  name  Abingdon, 
anciently  written  *'Abbendun/  or  sometimes 
"Abbandun."  After  all,  the  despised  earliest 
written  account,  at  the  beginning  of  the  Chronich 
cf  Ahingdou.  (Rolls  ed.,  vol.  i.  p.  2),  is  probably  the 
true  one,  that  the  name  came  along  with  "Abbenus 

ex  Hi  hernia veniens."     Abban  has  a  day 

(March  16)  in  the  Martyrology  of  Donegal.  This 
is  in  perfect  accordance  with  the  well-known  be- 
ginnings of  other  such  institutions,  nob  only  in  the 
primeval  Christian  settlements  in  Celtic  times, 
but  even  in  the  Anglo-Saxon  mission  during  its 
eerlier  period;  they  often  arose  out  of  the  mere 
cell  of  an  anchoret  who  had  become  locally  famous 
for  sanctity.  But  the  presence  of  Abban  at 
Abingdon  may  aiso  accoant  lor  another  diiEcult 


anomaly.  In  all  South-Hambrian  England  only 
three  dedications  of  "  St.  Ebb  "  are  known — one  in 
the  city  of  Gloucester,  on  the  Severn  itself;  one  in 
Oxford;  and  the  other  at  ^helswell,  also  in  Oxford- 
shire, haunting  the  landing  of  Abban  and  his  local 
settlement.  These  are  not  unlikely  to  have  arisen 
from  an  erroneous  assimilation  of  the  name  of  the 
forgotten  Celtic  saint  with  that  of  the  better  known 
North  Anglian.  While  writing  I  have  met  with 
the  trace  of  a  fourth  memorial  of  the  name, 
bat  without  building  or  extant  benefice,  in  this 
same  district,  being  fourteen  miles  due  south  of 
Abingdon,  near  East  II sley,  Berks.  In  a  paper 
by  Mr.  W.  Money  on  some  Roman  remains  (Brit, 
Arch.  Assoc,  toL  xxxvi.  p.  28)  he  incidentally 
mentions  a  Uoman  rood  "  which  crossed  the  brook 
at  St.  Abbes,  near  Eling,  called  by  the  country 
people  'Tabs.'"  This  insulated  cluster  of  four 
spots  looks  almost  like  a  map  of  the  circuit  of 
preaching  resorts  of  a  recluse  ha-ving  Abingdon  for 
his  centre.  If  this  should  be  accepted,  the  presence 
of  Abban  at  Oxford  will  have  precedence  by  two 
or  three  centuries  of  the  much  disputed  advent  of 
King  Alfred;  but  those  whose  view  is  bounded  by 
an  "English"  horizon  will,  of  course,  fail  to  dis- 
cern it 

In  fact,  such  latent  continuations  of  earlier 
originals  are  believed  to  be  very  frequent  with 
the  monastic  foundations  ueually  attributed  to  the 
munificence  of  the  Anglo-Saxon  kings  and  wealthy 
penitents.  They  are  often  merely  aggrandizements 
of  preceding  saDctuarlea  ;  or  sometimes,  so  far  as 
they  are  monastic,  actually  new  institutions.  But 
it  appears  to  have  been  sometimes  the  policy  of 
these  later  founders  to  adopt  and  absorb  into  these 
monuments  of  their  own  grandeur  any  local  famo 
for  sanctity  already  existing.  Long  accustomed 
otferiugB  to  the  altars  of  local  saints  were  worth 
retaining,  or  covenants  of  existing  contracts  re- 
quired to  be  fulfilled  before  named  alurs.  Some 
therefore  retain  to  this  day  their  older  Celtic  dcdi- 
catiooa,  but  joined  with,  and  subordinate  to,  more 
Oathelio  ones  that  have  been  prefixed  to  them. 
This  was  evidently  the  case  with  Taristock,  St 
Mary  and  St.  Rumon  or  Ruan.  Milton  Abbey, 
Dorset,  has  four  dedications,  St.  Mary  at  the 
head,  followed  by  three  which  are  evidently  of 
Celtic  times.  One  of  these  is  St  Samson,  which 
is  Damnonian,  that  if,  provincial ;  another,  Brau- 
wallader,  also  Celtic,  and  unique  and  local.  The 
old  hgend  of  the  foundation  accounts  for  the  name 
of  St  Samson  by  telling  that  King  Athelatan 
was  prompted  to  found  the  monastery  by  a  dream, 
in  which  the  Cornish  St  Samson  appeared  to 
him,  but  it  betrays  the  secret  that  there  was 
already  a  sanctuary  by  saying  that  the  dream  took 
place  in  a  chapel  thereby.  This  dream  of  founders 
was  not  an  uncommon  way  of  accounting  for  stra^ 
national  dedications^  and  Wv\l\a.TSi.<AN\»lws«^>ax^  *.

Atbelney  bu  be^n  quoUd  to  Account  for  that 
l^orth  Angliiui  dedicaiioa  uc  WelU  in  Saxon 
Somerset,  Trhich  I  have  elsewhere  already  more 
probably  accounted  for  by  external  or  polilioal 
causes. 

Bat  we  have  an  undoubted  aud  indisputable 
example  of  this  process  in  the  origin  of  Buch 
places  in  the  Cflse  of  Malmesbury,  and  this  aUo 
illustrates  the  penetration  of  the  pLvtrtcian  miaaions 
into  the  south  uf  Euglund.  Beinj;  IiiLer,  it  was  con- 
tingent with,  and  overlaps,  receued  Anglo-Saxon 
history,  and  has  actually  merged  into  it  Maildulf, 
**natione  Scottus"  (William  of  Malmeabury),  the 
preceptor  of  St.  Aldhelm,  having  settled  upon  the 
tkolm  whicli  is  furmed  by  two  arms  of  the  Wilts 
and  Gloacestcrsbire  Atod,  in  this  eaiuo  manner 
left  to  the  place  the  nam«  of  Msilduira-holm's- 
bury= Malmesbury.  Did  this  Scot  or  Uiberaian 
reach  WUtshtre  by  the  Clyde  or  the  Severn  i  St. 
Wilfrid  aUo  found  already  at  Boaham,  the  germ 
of  Chichester,  "Scotus  quidam,  Dicvl  nomine" 
(Beda  in  Horpsficldt  p.  79). 

Tewkesbury  is  a  probably  similar  case.  The 
tradition,  which  passed  early  into  writing,  is  that 
it  began  with  "  Theocus,  an  eminent  hermit." 
Wheu  I  forcjerly  biutcd  an  assumption  that  the 
influence  '^f  the  Patrician  mission  had  spread  far 
inland  tjirough  the  higher  part  of  the  Severn 
tatuary,  the  case  of  Tewkesbury  and  Theocua  was 
kindly  suggested  to  me,  as  an  additional  contribu- 
tory example,  by  a  learned  Iriab  hagiologist,  the 
Eev.  J.  F.  ShearraaD,*  proposing  the  name  of  St. 
Ti3it  of  luia-Ttlibe,  commemorated  September  7  in 
the  Martyrology  of  Donegal.  But  the  cbangn  of 
the  t  of  the  Irish  name  into  c  or  Jt  on  passing  Into 
the  English  form^  if  unsupported  by  an  auttaentia 
example,  appeared  to  be  too  arbitrary  a  concession 
of  what  18  so  considgrable  a  conatituenb  of  so  short 
a  Bime  ;  and  I  withheld  my  acceptance  of  this 
candidate  for  the  credit  of  having  been  the  nomi- 
nator of  Tewkesbury.  I  have,  however,  just  met 
with  what  must  be  a  very  early  example  of  the 
English  town-name  in  which  the  t  does  appeiir. 
It  is  in  an  Anglo-Saxon  catalogue  of  monasteries 
in  England,  claimed  by  one  Cynelme  to  have  been 
founded  by  his  "  foremost  father?,"  and  inscribed 
on  a  brass  plate  on  the  south  side  of  Leominater 
Church.  This  plate  is  said  to  have  been  found 
and  copied  by  John  Haokluyte  in  1692,  and  ia 
printed  at  the  end  of  tbo  last  edition  of  Weeper's 
ruiieral  Mmuvunis  (1767,  4to.,  p.  584).  In  this 
the  name  appeara  as  "  Deonrbypj^"  which  may  be 
taken  as  perhaps  the  earliest  example  after  it 
had  stepped  out  of  its  native  Hiberuian  into  ita 
£nglish  nsage.  In  cue  MS.  of  William  of  Malmea- 


*  Mr.  Shearman  is  the  author  of  Loea  Patn'ciana

But  the  coutinuanco  of  Glastonbury  through 
British  into  Saxon  times  is  more  than  a  matter  of 
mere  tradition  or  of  inference  from  names.  It 
bad  become  so  interwoven  with  the  general  his- 
tory of  the  times,  that,  although  a  strong  dispoai- 
tion  to  oust  it  has  boon  manifest  in  tbo  **  English 
school'^  of  historian!),  it  is  so  far  allowed  to  stand 
that  theoretical  frontiers  are  compelled  to  respect 
it.  The  late  most  ingenious  and  learned  Dr^ 
Guest,  for  example,  extends  the  Gloucestershire 
cocqueat  of  Ceawlin  (a.d.  &77)  over  a  large  por- 
tion of  Somersetshire,  not  indicated  by  the  records^ 
and  neither  at  all  likely  from  them  nor  from  the 
natural  frontieip.  He  does  not  scruple  to  appro- 
priate, without  even  a  conQict,  the  entire  Mcndip 
mountLkia  range,  bat  is  brought  to  a  stop  at  the 
small  river  Axe,  because  Olastonbary,  with  it« 
strong  continaous  history,  stood  on  the  other  bank. 
But  the  name  of  Olastonbary  brings  us  into 
contact  with  another  question,  the  determination 
of  which  will  contribute  an  additional  train  of 
evidence  of  a  Celtic  substratum.

I  notice  the  roUowing  alight  inaccnraciea  in  these 
lUta  :  (1)  The  buronj  of  Aston  of  Forfar  is  Riip-

CoLouns  IS  TUB  Abmt.— Now  that  the  ques- 
tion of  jdteriug  the  chief  colour  in  the  (irmy  is 
being  disciisaed,  I  see  in  some  daily  paper  a  een- 
l«oce  from  a  letter  of  Oliver  Croinweira  quoted, 
to  the  effect  that  he  giivo  a  prefcrenco  to  the 
•'russet  coated  aoldier,"  The  puasxige  was  quoted 
09  though  ho  gave  the  prefereoco  to  Iho  soldier 
becauae  of  the  colour  of  bis  dreH»,  nnd  ihat  this  is 
the  impression  given  to  others  appears  by  the 
fact  that  no  one  hm  suggested,  what  I  think  is 
the  cosej  that  Crouiwcll  used  the  term  as  n  general 
one,  for  any  soldier,  ns  the  artiiy  at  that  time  waa 
chiefly  drcEsed  in  biifF  (leulher)  coats,  with  a  scarf 
of  a  distinguishing  colour  across  the  shoulder. 

It  may  be  now  no  interesting  question  to  see 

•  iJ/a/'ernge, 


what  regioienta  at  the  time  of  the  Civil  Wars 
were  dressed  in  colours.  I  believe  it  will  be  found 
tliirt  any  regiment  of  one  colour  was  raised  and 
clothed  at  the  expense  of  the  colonel ;  and  uni- 
form, thotieh  mcniioned,  existed  only  on  paper  aa 
a  rule.  Of  the  coloured  regiments  I  can  only 
recollect  the  following  mentioned  ; — The  **  Green- 
coats,"  commanded  by  John  Hampden ;  the 
**  Wbitecoats,"  a  regiment  of  Northumbrian  men, 
commanded  by  the  Marquis  of  Newcastle,  also 
called  "  NcwciiStle's  Lambs,"  from  their  bravery 
and  the  colour  of  their  coats  ;  and  the  '*  Yellow  * 
reglmcuti  of  London  Trained  Bands,  the  origin 
of  the  "BufTs."  I  think  there  waa  also  a 
"  Green  "  regiment  of  Tower  Hamlets  or  Lon- 
don Trained  Uiinds,  but  of  this  I  am  not 
sure.  Sir  Thomas  Byron  commanded  the  ''Blacks.* 
There  were  one  regiment  of  purple,  one  of  grey, 
and  two  of  rtd^  one  for  the  king,  one  for  the  Par- 
liament, No  doubt  others,  belter  informed  on 
this  subject  than  I  am,  can  give  us  particulars  of 
other  coloured  regiments  of  this  period,  to  complete 
the  list.  Whatever  may  be  the  result  of  the  pre- 
sent discussion,  it  wilt  be  seen  that  I,  at  any  rate, 
shall  not  desert  my  colours.      B.  F.  Scarlstt,

happen  to  have  only  mention  the  story  of  the 
moi^key,  the  ccit,  and  the  chestnuts,  hut  do  not

an  omission  on  their  part.  Nich.  Caussin,  in  his

this  secondaxy  meaning  of  the  word  wna  ciuito 
obtoleto  until  I  eaw  it  uved  in  tliis  sense  by  n 
graphic  writer  in  the  StunJarrl  of  the  23rd  uU.,  in 
an  article  entitled  "  On  the  Downs,"  when  de- 
scribing a  ray  of  sunlight  through  a  rift  in  the 
clouds  lighting  up,  as  it  moved  along,  '*  an  acre 
wide  upon  the  award.*'  Possibly  the  writer  had 
in  his  mind  merely  the  width  of  a  square  acre. 

The  dictionaries  of  the  last  century,  such  ns 
Bailey's,  do  not  give  this  meaning,  though  it  was 
commonly  used  in  the  Middle  Ages  for  the  length 
of  four  rods,  poles,  or  perches,  the  measurement  of 
the  more  constant  side,  or  rather  width,  of  the 
normal  area!  acre  (see  6**"  S.  vi.  230).  My  first 
ncquaintance  with  the  use  of  the  word  in  this 
sense,  I  remember,  was  in  Stew's  Surrty  of  London 
(Thoma'a  capital  popular  edition,  p.  llfl),  where  a 
pipe  or  "water-course"  of  lead  to  the  Grey  Friars

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


[«ik«.  vu.  Apeil  14.  *83. 


Office  would  help  me  to  clear  up  the  pedigree  of 
the  baronial  family  of  Welles  of  LincoloBhire  by 
lookiog  at  the  Inq.  p.m.  of  Isabel,  widow  of 
Kobert  de  Welles,  who  died  in  8  Edward  IL, 
when  Robert,  Lord  Welles,  son  and  heir  of  Adam, 
Lord  Welles,  deceased,  and  theo  aged  nineteen, 
was  found  to  be  heir  of  the  hmda  in  Lincolnshire 
which  Isabel  held  in  dower.  I  should  be  glad  to 
know,  what  I  cannot  find  in  Dugdale,  viz.,  how 
Robert  the  heir  was  related  to  the  hasband  of 
Isabel,  and  to  what  family  Isabel  belonged. 
Dugdale's  occoant  of  the  family  of  Welles  is  un- 
satisfactory from  beginning  to  end.  He  knew 
nothing  about  the  ancestors  of  Willium  de  Welles, 
who  obtained  a  royal  grant  of  a  market  at  Alford 
in  1283j  and  he  ignores  altogether  Sir  William  de 
Welles,  Lord  Chancellor  of  Ireland,  a  younger 
brother  of  Leo,  Lord  Welles,  who  was  slain  at 
Towton  Field  in  1461.  Dugdale's  account,  too, 
of  the  succession  in  the  peerage  is  open  to  grave 
doubts,  for  it  would  seem  that  Adam  II.  was 
succeeded  by  three  Johns  successively,  and  Dug- 
d.ile  mentions  only  two.  John  IT.  was  eleven 
years  old  in.  1361,  when  his  father,  John  I.,  died, 
und  John  11.  was  in  1366  the  husband  of  Cecily, 
whose  maiden  name  I  should  be  glad  to  learn. 
Eleanor,  widow  of  John,  Lord  Welles,  and 
daughter  of  John,  Lord  Mowbray,  who  was  in 
1432  the  wife  of  Godfrey  Hilton,  is  said  to  have 
been  the  second  wife  of  John  II.  and  the  mother 
of  John  lU.  But  it  is  stated  in  the  Inquest 
of  Maud,  Lady  Welles,  who  died  in  1399,  that 
lier  heir  was  her  son  John,  who  was  then 
ug^  seven,  which  suggests  a  different  parentage 
for  John  III.  John  III.  seems  to  have  married 
Margery,  daughter  of  Thomas,  Lord  de  Ros, 
who  survived  him,  and  died  April  8,  1426; 
but  the  story  of  these  barons  and  their  wives  is 
so  confused  in  all  the  received  accounts  that  some 
competent  antiquary  would  do  good  service  if  be 
would  look  at  the  different  Inquests  and  ascertain 
the  truth.  Tkwars. 

HUQTTBNOT  RbFUGES   FaUILT   OF   MONTOMRU. 

—'Louis  de  Montolieu  de  Saint  Hippolite,  elder 
brother  to  David,  who  founded  the  English  branch 
of  this  family,  died  at  Berlin  (it  is  not  recorded  in 
what  year),  in  the  enjoyment  of  a  pension  from 
the  three  powers  he  had  served— England,  Prussia, 
and  Sardinia.  By  bis  marriage  in  1696  with

Old  Ekolish  Mortar.— The  churchwardens 
of  St.  Martin's,  Leicester,  having  determined  in 
1606  to  point  the  steeple,  purchased  the  following 
with  which  to  make  the  mortar  or  cement : — 

Item  payd  for  one  loade  of  Ijme,  vj*  viij'*.

From  a  similar  set  of  entries  made  in  1609  we 
learn  the  "peecea"  mentioned  above  were  "glover's 
peecea  ";  and  from  another  set  under  the  date  of 
1630  we  obtain  the  fuller  description  :  "  Pddd  for

THE  EUTUVEN  PEERAGE. 
(6«  S.  Til.  87,  109,  163,  168,  193,  229.) 
I  regret  that  I  &nd  myself  compelled  to  prove 
my  ciwe  twice  over,  but  the  Purthian  arrows  of 
my  anonjmnua  critic  must  not  be  suffered  to  mi^i- 
lead  the  unwary.  Let  me  first,  however,  dispose 
of  Sigma,  who,  speaking  of  the  *' coronation  sum- 
tuoQs"  suggests,  with  delightful  JiahW,  thiU  it 
evidences 

"  A  very  market]  intention  on  the  part  of  the  Court  of 
8t.  Jame«  to  contmue  (ji'c)    the  title  to  heire  general 

to  make  Kuch  reparaUon  to  the  younger  branch  as 

lay  ka  their  power." 

Putting  aside  the  fact  that  the  party  so  sammoned 
in  1714  was  not  the  "  heir  general "  at  all,  we  must 
remember  that,  even  if  she  bad  been,  she  either  was 
entitled  to  the  dignity  or  she  was  not«  In  neither 
case  could  it  lie  in  any  way  ad  arbitrium  CorotKB. 
If  the  Crown  bad  intervened,  as  Sioma  suggests, 
to  "continue  the  title  to  heirs  general,"  this 
would  have  been  equivalont  to  a  recognition  that 
the  original  title  was  extinct,  and,  conscouently,  to 
the  creation  by  this  summona  of  a  frcah  dignity 
in  its  place.  Tbua  Siqua  falls  into  the  very 
heresy  of  which  Mr.  Foster  is  (falsely)  accused  ! 

Turning  now  to  T.  T.,  he  does  not,  I  find, 
attempt  to  rebut  my  elaborate  <.cpo»^  of  hia  case, 
but  contenu  himself  with  the  mere  assertion  that 
I  throw  no  "new  light"  on  the  question.  He 
hua  been  shown  by  U.  E.  C.  {arUs,  p.  153)  that 

''the  Bulhven  succession has  not  been  fully 

mastered  by  him";  yet  he  blandly  ignores  that 
his  statements  of  fact  have  been  there  proved  io- 
oocamte.  His  previooa  evidenoa  haa  been  din- 
posed  of  by  me,  and  he  has  do  more  forthoomlog. 
He  daree  not  even  repeat  hta  confident  aaiertion 
that  the  entail  of  the  Rutbveu  estates  "  evidently" 
conveyed  the  faooours.  lastly,  he  etiU  (like  Sir 
Bernard  Burke  and  the  other  champions  of  hia 
TmiMe)  has  not  even  elocted   which  of  the   two 


rival  hypotheses  be  shall  adopt,  vis.,  a  limita- 
tion to  heirs  of  line  or  a  limitation  to  heirs 
of  tailzie,  but  prefers  to  use  them  both  in  turn 
as  suits  his  purpose  for  the  moment.  Now  this 
point  is  a  Tital  one.  In  the  Journal  of  JurU' 
prudence  for  March  there  is  a  long  and  rambling 
attack  on  Mr.  Foster,  which,  tliough  by  an  anony- 
mous writer,  repeats  the  words  and  betrays  the 
lunds  of  that  ^r  nobilt  Jratrtimy  Iokorauos  and 
T.  T.  We  there  find  the  same  easy-going  ui 
tainty  as  to  the  limitation  of  the  patent : — 

"  Was  it  simply  Umited  to  bfir«  of  line,*  or  did  it 
tain,  like  a  good  many  other  Bcotti«b  patents  about  tti 
dat«,  a  power  to  tlie  iiatentee,  perbapi  to  hia  eon  &l«o,tto 
select  an  he'ir;  or  yrus  there  a»  exiirsfs  liiuitfttioa  to  the 
heir  or  clofifi  of  bcir«  on  whom  Lord  Kuthven  thoidi 
entail  bis  ettatu  1  ^  He  (hat  at  it  may.^  Liarid,  . 
Bathren,  and  hit  siKtem  m^tt'd  o.^  if  the  patent  bad 
talned  some  proriiion  fwliich  ']  vueh  hi  wo  have 
geited.||  Lord  RutbTen  entailed  his  estata*  in 
iudioative  of  his  belief  that  he  was  eutaUioit  hil  h( 
with  them."^ 

Now,  I  must  insist  that  if  Jean  (as  heir  of 
tail)  did  inherit  the  dignity  under  the  pateol 
the  exclusion  of  the  heir  of  line,  the  dignity 
obviously  not  limited  to  heirs  of  line.     And 
she  did  so  inherit  my  opponents  assert ; — 

"  The  titio  was  evidentlT  destined  to  pas4  along  with 
the  estates, and  did  so;  Joan,  aa  Lad?  Huthven,  wu 
aerred  beirof  entail  and  proriiionof  her  brother." — T.T. 

"Jean,  the  youn^Mt  likter,  ai  Lady  fluiKvrn.  was  re- 
toared  heir  to  her  brother,  and  generally  recognized  u 
his  successor  In  his  peerage  as  well  ai  bis  Mtal 

JifUrnal  of  J, 

How,  then,  can  they  afterwards  tarn  round 
say  that,  even  if  in  her  cose  there   was  a 
yet  her  successors,  bfcaute  they  «»«r«  hcirt  of] 
(which  she  herself  vras  not),  had  a  clear  right  tff' 
the  dignity? —

away  attention  frum  the  iaiportant  points  in  ibe  Kuth- 
Ten  case,  which  are,  6nt,  tliat  the  mala  line  hkring 
failed  in  1701,  the  title  wa4  retained  on  the  l<riion  Roll, 
1707,  by  thuae  who  were  iu  a  p<»a.tiiin  to  a?c«rtaiD,  and 
were  bound  to  ascertain,  whether  gronndi  existed  for 
iuch  retention ;  second,  tbat  in  their  ehil»irat«  report 
in  1740,*  made  before  the  patent  wat  bomt,  the  Lr>rda 
of  Seasion  recognised  tho  right  of  an  heir-general  to 
the  barony.'* 

Alas  for  T.  T.,  these  two  "  important  poiyts  "  are, 
like  the  Kilkenny  cats,  matually  deatractive  ! 
For,  by  his  own  showing,  the  Session's  report  re- 
cognized '^  the  right  of  an  heir  general"  in  1740, 
vhile  in  1707  the  Union  Rull  recognized  the  right 
of  un  heir  of  entail  who  was  not  iin  heir  general  If 
One  is  painfully  reminded  of  the  Lovat  case, 
where  (the  direct  nude  line  failing  aboat  the  same 
time  an  that  of  Ruthren)  the  Session  assigned  the 
dignity  to  the  heir  of  line  (in  the  absence  of  the 
heir  mole)  in  1702,  but  in  1730  reduced  (heir  own 
decreet,  and  assigned  it  (o  the  heir  male,  on  his 
appearing  before  them.  Truly  su^fgestive  this  as 
to  Kuthven  !  But  surely  it  is  audacious  to  assert 
that  1  drew  away  attention  from  these  points  when 
I  explicitly  showed  that,  the  barony  of  Newark 
haying  been  similarly  retained  on  the  Roll  in  the 
▼ery  teeth  of  the  terms  of  its  patent  (an(e,  p.  169), 
these  *' important  points"  are  worthless.  As  to 
the  report  by  the  Lords  of  Session  in  1740,  it 
•'  contains"  (as  Riddell  reluctantly  admits)  '*  inad- 
vertencies and  misconceptions,^  and  it  *'  recog- 
nized" at  least  two  wrongful  assumptions,  namely, 
Newark,  ond  Lindores.^  In  fact,  it  is  clear  from 
ihew  contradictory  *'  recognitions "  that  those 
worthies  had  never  seen  the  Ruthven  patent,  and 
bad  not  even  any  proob  of  its  limitation.  For,  as 
to  T.  T.'s  assertion  that  this  report  was  "made 
before  the  patent  was  burnt,"  let  me  remind  him 
that  he  has  nob  produced  one  shred  of  evidence 


*  This  "  elaborate  rsport "  was  a  fiasco.  The  Lordi' 
intention  was  to  lecnra  a  reaJjustroont  of  tb«  Union 
roll.  But,  as  Lyon  (Mr.  Burnett)  infonned  the  late 
committee,  "there  waa  no  rendjuatment  of  the  Union 
Roll"  on  this  occasion.  The  Session  reported  to  the 
Lards  that  as  to  their  initruottons  "  to  state  aa  far  ai 

they  shall  be  able the  particular  limitations."  it  was 

nM  possible  to  comply  with  thorn. 

f  Auumirtf^.  that  is,  as  T.  T.  dxs  tbroushont,  that  tho 
mare  retention  of  the  title  on  the  Roll  was  a  "recogni- 
tion "  of /mn*  r'ffht;  whoreai,  of  course,  it  wat  nothini; 
of  the  kiDil,  for  it  would  have  be«n  eoually  retained  (in- 
dependent of  ber  aMum()iton)  had  toe  dignity,  on  the 
Contrary,  been  limited,  for  tnstancOj  to  collateral  heirs 
male,  wl>o»e  cxtiuotion  was  as  yet  unproved.

**  the  original  patent  perished  when  Preeland  Honae

evidence  have  we  for  its  having  ever  been  pre- 
served  there,  at  least  after  the  extinction  of  the 
male  line  in  17<>1?  It  is,  at  any  rate,  rery  curious, 
oa  I  pointed  out  (antt^  p..  1G9),  that  no  steps  were 
taken  dnnng  its  alleged  existence  to  aet  it«  terms  on 
record  (oa  was  done  in  the  coae  of  the  barony  of 
RoUo,  created  the  same  year,  to  heirs  male  general), 
and  tbat  every  trace  of  its  limitation  is  thu» 
"unfortunately"  lost  Is  it  not  quite  as  likely 
that  S.U  this  confusion  sprang  from  the  early  lou 
of  "  the  original  patent,'*  possibly  in  the  very 
troubles  which  followed  close  upon  its  griiut  I 

The  gradual  evolution  of  that  pseudo-barony  of 
Ruthven,  which,  Mr.  Foster  submits,  "  oagbt  to 
bare  do  place  iik  a  peerage,"  can  be  clearly  traced. 
Orawfard,  the  contemporary  witness,  states  in  his 
Puragt  of  Scotland  [1716)  that  the  (original) 
dignity  "became  extinct"  on  the  deat^  of  the 
second  lord.  And  when  he  mode  this  statement 
he  must  have  been  aware  that  the  boDoors  had 
been  assumed  by  Jean  for  the  last  fifteen  years. 
Proceeding  to  the  successive  editions  of  the  Oom- 
pendinvi, — the  liritith  in  1725,  1729,  1741,  anil 
the  Scott  in  1756  And  1764, — we  find  no  trace  of 
the  existence  of  this  barony.  It  should  be  added 
that  Riddell  praises  this  work  as  more  acounite 
and  trustworthy  than  I>ongLL!i.^  It  is  not  till  we 
couie  to  Dou>;las  himself  (17U4)  that  we  find  this 
title  admitted,  and  at  first,  be  it  observed,  with 

strange  misgiving.     He  states  that  "James 

hath  voted  as  a  peer  at  several  elections,"  but 
guards  himself  by  the  saving  clause: — 

"  If  {tic)  the  honours  were  to  the  heirs  g<^ner«l  of  the^ 
patentee's  body,  (his  lord's  title  to  the  peerage  is  iodis* 
putable." 

Eventually,  as  we  know,  thia  clause  dropped  out, 
and  the  suggestion  developed  into  a  comfortable 
hypothesis.  The  total  sDppresaiou  of  the  long 
aesnmption  of  the  honours  by  Jean,  "  Lady  Ruth- 
ven." which  T.  T.  baa  himself  exposed  (a«(«, 
p.  110),  and  which  is  so  marked  in  Wood  a 
X)ovfjhjy  did  not  spring  from  its  compiler's  ignor- 
ance, but  from  his  knowledge  that  this  oasump- 
tioD,  which  T.  T.  has  so  rashly  dragged  fortu^ 
would  bo  fatal  to  bis  tottering  hypothesis. 

Proceeding  seriatim  through  m;  critic's  points, 
I  come  to  his  discovery  that  "  it  is  a  most  unlucky 
line  of  argument  for"  me  to  quote  Oxenford, 
Kutlierford,  Lindores,  and  Newark  as  cases  of  as- 
sumptions which  have  been  disallowed,  inasmuch 
as  these  were  sererally  challenged,  whereas  Ruth- 
ven has  escaped  challenge  (an/«.  p.  230).  Let  us  see. 
Tho  Lord  Cleik  Register,  in  his  recent  evidence, 
committed  himself  to  the  proposition  that 
*'  as  the  law  now  stands  tho  title  may  t>«  held  for  genera-

Wrongful  oaBumptioDB  were  cballenged  in  one  of 
two  waya:  (1)  by  a  countcr-cluimfknt,  us  in  Oxen- 
ford  and  Kiitherford— thia  woa  Ihe  normal  and 
more  frequent  nietbod,  bnt  could  not  upply  to 
liutUven,  as  there  was  no  couDter-ussuniption  to 
faUc  tbe  question;  (2)  by  the  vote  bappeuiog  to 
turn  the  scale  at  a  contested  election,  as  in  Newark 
and  Lindores.  This  was  a  very  exceptional  nietbod, 
ond  the  only  important  occasion  on  which  it  was 
enforced  was  the  famous  election  of  170(),  at  which 
Lindores  and  Newark  roted|  but  Ruthven  (then  a 
minor)  did  not.  We  thus  perceive  that  it  was 
from  special  circuuistances  that  the  Ruthven  as* 
sumption  escaped  challeoKO,  whereas  in  the  above 
four  cases  those  circuiiisUnces  did  not  exist.  We 
have,  moreover,  an  instance  of  reckless  inaccoracy 
in  T.  T.'s  statement  that 

*' Jainei,  then  LorJ  Huthven,  voted  at  nearly  all  (tit) 
tlie  cteotions  of  roiyrefoiitative  peers  after  his  sucoesuun 
in  17S2  till  his  death  in  1783  "  {anU,  p.  109), 

for,  on  tcattng  it,  I  And  there  were  some  iKirtij 
elections  within  the  above  period,  and  tbaC  of  these 
he  voted  at  eltvin  ! 

HaTtng  now  laid  bare  in  turn  each  ono  of  luy 
opponent's  fallacies,  1  ©in  leave  your  readers  to 
test  for  themselves  his  assertion  that  I  give  "  an 
incorrect  view  of  the  stntementa  made  by  Mr. 
Foster."  I  repeat  that  Mr.  Foster,  having  to 
deal  with  a  "barony"  which,  though  '* generally 
feoognized,"  cannot  be  authenticated  by  any  instru- 
ment of  creation  whatever,  baa  traced  it  to  its 
origin  in  a  mere  *' courtesy  title"  conceded  to  the 
recipient  of  a  coronation  summons,  which  anoma- 
lous title  he  is  driven  to  describe  as  a  "coronation 
barony,"  it  being  founded  on  nothing  bat  a  coro- 
nation sammona.  He  points  out  that  though  this 
title  might  bo  claimed  by  "courtesy,"  it  could 
obviously  not  descend  to  the  claimant's  heirs,  but 
that  (in  the  very  pasaajfe  which  T.  T.  quotes)  **  the 
barony  created  by  Charles  H.  has  been  either 
vilfully  grafted  on  to,  or  carelessly  confused  with," 
it  (Preface,  p.  iv).  And  he  adds  in  a  foot-note, 
•which  T.  T.  has  declared  to  be  "absolutely  un- 
tncaning,"  that  the  ellorU  of  the  Lords  Kutfaven 
to  homologate  their  (pseudo-)  title,  by  voting  as 
peerfl,  have  not  altereii  the  case,  for  "in  Scotland 

the  right   is  always   traversible."     T.  T.  is 

4loubtless  prepared  to  assert  of  Kiddell's  state- 
ment that  the  voiding  of  the  Lindorca  votcs^ 
during  (he  assumption  of  the  title,  "  bears  upon 
(he  law  as  to  pri^crtption  in  honours,"*  that  it  is, 
similarly,  "absolutely  unmeaning.'^ 


*  J*t«rug$  Lmi0^  pb  779. 


Lastly,  wo  are  aisnred  by  T.  T.  that  Mr.  Vi 
has  not  "  brought  to  Ught  a  state  of  things  wMdl 
has  hitherto    been    unsuspected."     I   reply   that, 
with  the  exception  of  Mr  Foster's  work,  we  6Dd  I 
this  title  fijjuring  in  every  Pitragr^  from  Sir  Ber- 
nard Burke's  downwards,  without  the  faintest  hint 
of  its  donbtfnl  origin  and  tiains.     If,  as  we  are 
informed  by  T.  T.,  "  the  succession  to  IhLs  title  ! 
has  been  much  discussed,"  it  is  to  be  regretted  il 
that,  with  this  knowledge,  the  Scottinh  authorities  j 
have  allowed  it  annually  so  to  figure,  in  a  pub-  i 
lication  which  boasts  their  peculiar  patronage,  xu  \\ 
true  position  '' wholly  unsuspected,"  beneath  the  || 
official  insignia  of  Ulster.  , 

I  have  to  thank  Sigma  for  ihe  apposite  sugges- 
tion that  II 
"  Lynn  and  Ulfltermay  be  rt^bt  ia  letting  the  matter 
rest,  instead  of  ittrring  it  ap  a>  Mr.  Poiter  ha«  done." 

The  duty  of  peerage  editors  and  of  kings  of  arma 
is,  it  would  seem,  in  Sioma's  opinion,  to  join  in  a 
conspiracy  for  hushing  up  every  ugly  doubt,  and 
for  ^'uttering"  pleasant  fables  to  the  ever-credulous 
public  It  is  because  Mr.  Foster  will  not  acL'ede 
to  this  view  that  he  is  subjected  to  such  attacks 
ns  these,  and  that  he  deserves,  I  venture  to  thj 
the  support  of  every  honest  man,

I  roust  confess  that  I  had  overlooked  Mft, 
Round's  quotation  from  Kiddcll,  and  he  is  quite 
at  liberty,  if  he  pleases,  to  tnke  the  ovenighl  as  a

Yet  it  appears  that  the  dicta  of  one  to  incom- 
potent  are  to  be  maintained  for  nil  time  coming, 
-unci  that  they  may  be  so  the  opinions  of  the  com- 
petent are  to  be  set.  at  nmigbt.  It  is  upon  such 
<iicta  that  we  are  oBked  to  ncfiniesce  in  Lord 
Kodesdale'a  new  creation  of  an  earldom  of  Alnr 
dating  from  15G5,  although  we  have  no  patent,  nor 
Aoything  else  that  is  tangible,  in  its  favoar,  except 
A  foreigner's  idle  gossip  aod  Lord  Redesdnle's 
dictum  "it  must  have  been";  and  foe  this  shadowy 
figment  we  are  to  give  up  the  grand  old  earldom. 

I  hare  had  much  converse  with  people  who  had 
A  knowledge  of  such  mittcra  to  which  Lord  Rede-s- 
diile  could  hardly  lay  claim,  but  I  never  yet  have 
beard  one  word  of  approval  of  hia"  adjudication," 
except  such  lu  naturally  proceeded  from  the  in- 
ti>rested  parlies  or  profensional  advocates  of  the 
Kollie  claim. 

I  do  not  doubt  that  Mfu  Roryo  knows  as  well 
as  I  do  what  opinions  were  entGrtnined,  not  only 
■of  Lord  M;iD&IieId'a  dictuui,  but  of  the  proceedings 
in  that  Mar  case  to  which  Mo.  Round  so  com- 
clncently  refers  me,  by  Lord  Crawford,  James 
Maidment,  John  Stuart,  Alexander  SincUir,  and 
Thomas  Dickson  (not  to  cite  the  much  abused, 
but  leomed  and  conscientious,  authoritioa  of  the 
Lyon  Ollice).  Some  of  these  were  not,  like  my- 
self, mere  diltitante  "  students  of  Scottish  peerage 
law,"  and  as  such,  of  course,  to  be  held  in  legal 
contempt,  but  "  practical  and  experienced  lawyers." 
i^ItLHoaNDismistaken  in  supposing  that,  with  such 
evidence  to  the  contrary  before  me  as  is  afforded  by 
thoKeltie  cUioi,  I  "must  have  forgotten  that  coses 

of  peerageare  decided iio<  by  students  of  Scottish 

peerage  law."  He  is,  unhappily,  right  in  his  fact, 
ihoiigh  wrong  in  his  inference.  I  quite  understand 
liow  inconvenient  it  is  to  those  whose  interests  are 
concerned  in  the  maintenance  of  Lord  Kf'desdale's 
"judgment"  and  Lord  Mansfield's  dictum,  to 
have  them  called  in  qnestion  by  the  lay  "stndenta 
of  Soottish  peenige  la^,"  We  shall  not,  however, 
Ls  repressed  by  the  sneers  of  those  who,  ex  canfetio^ 
are  not  "  etudents  of  Scottish  peerage  law  ";  for  I 
humbly  hold  that,  in  the  interests  of  truth  and 
justice,  it  is  eminently  desirable  that  the  public  in 
general,  and  especiaUy  those  who  as  peers  will 
ahortly  have  to  vote  upon  questions  which  seriously 
nfTect  Scottish  peenigea,  should  understand  that 
Lord  Redesdale  and  Lord  Mansfield  are  not  as 
ooinpetent  judges  of  questions  of  Scottish  peerage 
law  OS  the  emiaeat  students  of  that  law  whose 
names  I  have  given,  who  disient  altogether  from 
Lord  Mansfield's  dictum  as  to  the  descent  of 
Scottish  dignities,  and  who  have  just  as  little 
recpect  for  Lord  Redesdale's  new  Mur  creation  as 


they  have  for  "coronation  baronies";  and  that 
though,  to  all  appearance,  it  is  bec-^miag  highly 
penal,  even  in  peers  of  the  realm,  to  ditTer  from  the 
noble  Chairman  of  Committees,  yet  that  those  who 
have  the  courage  to  do  it  in  the  Mar  case  will  find 
IbcmBolves  in  excellent  company. 

With  regard  to  Mr.  RoaNo'a  quotation 
from  Mr.  Hewlett's  book,  I  have  only  to  aay 
that  the  mere  iteration  of  Lord  Monsfield'a 
dictum  with  the  cautious  addendum,  "  it  appears 
to  be  a  rule  of  law,**  does  not  seem,  to  my  noo* 
legal  mind,  to  add  any  strength  whatever  to  the 
argument.  The  quotatiun  from  Lord  Redesdale's 
LdUr^  which  contains  the  "argument  from  ex- 
pediency," seems  to  me  to  bo  utterly  unworthy, 
and  to  resolve  itself  into  some  such  chain  of 
reasoning  as  this  :  "  Truth  and  justice  have  been 
(possibly)  set  aside  in  past  cases  ;  it  would,  there- 
fore, *  be  very  injurious,  and  attended  with  serious 
consequences,'  if  truth  and  justice  were  in  future 
to  prevail."  Joiim  Woodward.

Tn»t  (0*^  S.  viL  249). — Mr,  North  has  found 
a  good  example  of  a  rare  and  valuable  word,  illus- 
trating rather  a  dark  place  in  Eaglish  etymology. 
I  regret  that  in  my  Diciionary  the  account  of 
rfcu/,  in  the  sense  of  "deal  board,"  is  utterly 
wrong  ;  it  has  no  coanexion  with  Du.  dul^  a  deal 
or  part  (which  is  neuter,  and  answers  to  A.-S. 
ddcJ),  but  is  borrowed  from  Du.  d<«/,  a  deal-board, 
plank,  which  is  feminine.  Now  ihtl  is  the  trno 
English  word  corroaponding  to  deal  board^  and  has 
the  same  sense  of  "  board  "  or  *'  plank  "  ;  if  there 
was  any  difference,  it  is  probable  that  a  thel  va» 
thinner  or  smaller  than  a  plank.  The  A.-S.  tktl, 
a  plank,  occurs  in  several  compounds,  all  given  in 
Grein's  Dictionary;  and  the  closely  allied  word 
thillf  the  shaft  of  a  cart,  is  still  in  u^c,  and  U  fully 
treated  of  in  my  Diclionaiy.  Corresponding  to 
the  theoretical  Teutonic  form  tk«U,  we  have  A.-S. 
thel,  Icel.  thili,  a  wainscot,  phink,  0.  H.O.  dit,  dito^  a 
plank;  and  corresponding  to  the  theoreticalTeutonic 
form  thdjnii^  n  substantive  of  tho  weak  dccle'nsioo, 
wo  have  A.-S.  thilU,  E.  thiU,  Icel.  thilja,  plankings 
a  bench  for  rowers,  a  deck  ;  Du.  di^l^  a  plank^ 
deal  board;  01,  dieU,  a  deal,  plank.  The  interest* 
ing  point  is  thl9,  and  should  be  noted,  that  at  least 
three  Dutch  words  have  been  taken  into  Eng-

lion  of  the  altitude  of  llie  Knglish  Catholic  mind 
in  the  presence  of  apparently  supernatural  appiiri- 
trona.  I  remember  that  some  forty  years  ago  a 
ftcboolfellow  of  mine,  now  a  peer,  was  suddenly 
awoke  one  night,  and  started  up  in  bed  at  seeing 
a  Ijdl  white  figure,  apparently  block  at  the  top, 
standing  uiotionleas  at  his  bedside.  He  told  us 
(he  next  day  that  he  thought  it  was  the  devil, 
and  conaiJcring  it  uselew  to  attack  him,  he  simply 
used  in  eelf-defence  and  silently  the  semi-niannal, 
•cmi-Tcrbal  prayer  known  i\a  **  the  sign  of  the 
crws,"  and  lay  quietly  down  again.  This  com- 
pletes my  illustration;  but  it  is  necessary,  for  other 
reasons,  to  add  the  dcnoiiment.  In  a  few  moments 
he  taw  that  the  figure  breathed,  whereupon,  jump- 
ing out  of  bed,  he  seized  it,  only  to  fiod  that  it 
was  another  of  our  schoolfellows,  now  dead,  who 
•was  walking  in  his  sleep.

MEr».u„<i  (O'*"  8.  Tii.  7).— These  medals  were 
•truck  m  the  United  Provinces  of  the  Netherlands, 
and  the  first  three  form  a  portion  of  an  extensive 
Mries  of  jettons,  which,  struck  both  in  silver  and 
copper,  serve  to  illustrate  every  point  of  their 
romantic  history,  from  the  oommencement  of  their 
alru^gle  against  the  Spaniards  nntil  comparatively 
v«c«nt  limes. 

No.  1,  of  the  dale  of  1591,  hits  ref^renco  to  the 
ri-jection  of  the  protfercd  nu-diation  of  niidolph  II.. 
Jhunofor  of  CJernwnr.  Tho  female  figure  in  the 
wj^cJter  rndwune  is  ib«  ,;ooiuj  of  Liberty,  and  the 


ind    I 


lion  displayed  in  her  shield  is  that  of  the  state  of 
Holland.     The  legends  explain  themselves,   and 
arc  well  expressive  of  the  confidence  the  newly- 
formed  states  had  begun  to  entertain  as   to 
ultimate  issue  of  tho  struggle,  and  their  fear  of 
dangers  attending  a  treacherous  negotiation, 

No,  2,  struck  in  1697,  serves  to  relate  the  prin- 
cip:tl  results  of  the  glorious  victory  of  Turnhout. 
D.  O.  M.  is  abbreviated  from  Deo  optimo  maxirao, 
and  the  legend  on  the  reverse  conciseK 
thirty-nine  standards  captured  from  the  Jf 
three  towns  taken  beyond  tho  Khine,  and  six.  ui» 
this  side,  within  a  period  of  three  months. 

No.  3  was  issued  at  an  earlier  period,  in  the 
year  1677,  and  renders  graphically  a  sense  of  the 
crushing  weight  of  misfortune  that,  in  spite  of 
transient  buccussc^,  seemed  to  press  upon  the  few 
individuals  and  communities  who  darcu  to  keep  on 
the  unequal  struggle  against  the  mighty  power  of 
Spain.  Thebnlf-clothed  figure  is  Elijah;  the  Hebrew 
word  is  that  of  Jehovah.  Like  the  prophet,  lh» 
patriot  cause  had  to  depend  upon  the  immediate 
bounty  of  Heaven,  and  the  legends  illustrate  Ihii 
stat«  of  feeling. 

No.  4  is  a  jetton,  hearing  no  special  historic*! 
character.  It  is  a  mark  or  counter  issued  by  one  of 
the  mints,  and  pro1)ably  has  some  special  sign  to 
show  where  it  was  struck.  From  the  sixteenth 
century  such  counters  were  frequently  issued 
the  masters  of  mints  at  tho  various  German  ci 
The  French  mints  bud  their  issues  of  a  sim 
description,  and  also  the  Spaniards  in  their  owa 
portion  of  the  Netherlands.  Those  struck  in  silver 
are  naturally  much  less  common  than  those  in 
copper.  In  this  instance  allusion  is  made  to 
band  that  keeps  them  together  as  the  United 
vices  of  Lower  Oermiiuy,  and  as  each  pro 
stnick  its  own  money,  the  fact  of  these  counleis 
being  issued  in  the  name  of  the  whole  body  might 
not  bo  without  its  u$e.  To  say  anything  about  tbe 
value  of  these  interesting  historical  niemoriaUi

are  Sable,  three  swans  arg.  In  a  list  of  the  arms 
of  Yorkshire  abbeys  {Local  Notu  and  Querie§)  the 
arms  are,  fSable,  threo  swans  close  argent,  with  the 
bills  and  feet  or.  There  are  four  representations  of 
the  shield  in  the  British  Museum.  In  a  procession

ruary 4,  Henry  VIII.),  the  uruis  are  emblazoned, 
Sable,  three  swona  nrg.  (Cole's  MSS.  British

a  mitro  and  crosier  on  the  top  of  the  shield,  and 
the  following  memorandum,  **  It  is  said  that  there

but  the  real  coat  is  as  above,  the  same  as  in  the

YoRESDiRE  Christmas  Citstoms  (6'*»  S.  vii. 
24).— It  may  interest  the  readers  of  *•  N.  &  Q."  to 
learn  that  these  customs  are  observed  much  nearer 
■at  hand  than  at  Harrogate,  as  reported  by  A.  J.  M. 
The  writer  is  glad  to  say  that  in  his  own  house, 
«itaated  in  the  parish  of  St.  Mary  Abbotts,  Ken- 
«iogton,  on  this  last  as  on  previous  Christmas  Eves, 
might  have  been  teen  a  yule-log,  ynle-cakes,  yule- 
caadles  (pre5eDt«d),  and  frumety  mode  from  creed 


wheat  sent  from  Yorkshire,  and  he  knows  at  least 
two  other  house.a  in  the  western  postal  district  of 
the  metropolis  of  which  the  same  thing  might  be 
said.  Harrogate  ia  a  little  too  far  westward,  bat 
in  the  north-eastern  and  more  purely  Scandinavian 
portions  of  the  county  these  customs  are  still 
universal,  and  people  keep  the  feast  of  Odin 
without  knowing  it.  Clbvslakder. 


"  Vessel "  is  here,  I  think,  a  corruption  of  "' 
sail."  At  Wakefield  when  they  bring  round  the 
milly-box  (query,  my  Udy*s  box),  they  sing  the 
carol  "  Here  we  come  a  weB3«lin'  among  the 
leaves  so  green."  An  old  herring-boic  or  table- 
drawer,  lined  with  moss  and  evergreena,  represents 
the  stable  or  manger,  a  large  doU  the  holy 
Virgin,  and  a  small«r  one  on  either  side  the 
infants  Jeaus  and  James  (see  Apocryphal  Gospels), 
oranges  and  red  apples  the  offerings  of  the  magi, 
paper  flowers  and  imitation  jewellery  the  rejoicing 
of  the  Oentiles.  At  least,  so  says  a  writer  in  the 
Sacristy,  L  27-29.  The  children  do  not  always 
see  so  deeply  into  the  inner  meaning.  One,  for 
instance,  when  asked,  a  few  years  ago,  what  one 
9f  the  dolls  represented,  replied,  ^  Tiohbome."

old  fornu  of  licences  as  used  in  Qaeen  Elizabeth's

"  William  West,  of  the  Inner  Temple,  Esquire,* 

Eabltshed  at  London  in  1622.  The  licences  in 
Inglish  are  printed  in  black  letter,  and  include, 
among  others,  "  A  licence  to  brew,"  "  A  licence  to 
keepe  a  wine  taveme  "  **  A  licence  to  sell  ale,"  "  A

the  same  book  in  Latin  drafts  for  "  A  recognisance 
for  keeping  a  taveme^"  and  *'  A  recognisance  for

printed,  as  this  apparently  was,  in  1622,  the 
sovereign's  name  introduced  in  the  yarions  deeds, 
&e.,  should  be  Queen  Elizabeth's,  and  not  that  of

Rosenkrenz,  a  German  noble  of  the  fourteenth 
century,  who  after  travelling  in  the  East  re- 
turned home  and  founded  a  fraternity,  who  lived 
together  in  a  building  which  he  raised  under  th» 
name  of  "  Sancti  Spiritus,"  where  he  died  at  109 
years  of  age.  The  place  of  his  burial  was  kept  a 
profound  secret.  On  the  door  of  the  ''Sancd 
Spiritus"  he  directed  this  inscription  to  be  placed: 
"  Post  cxx  annos  patebo."  The  whole  stoi^  has  a

vix.,  the  word  *'  recent"  as  applied  to  the  cbiim  of 
my  family  to  belong  to  the  Haigs  of  Bemorajdo.  I 
am  now  above  seventy  years  old,  and  can  testify 
that  nearly  sixty  years  ago  my  father  and  his 
brothers  claimed  to  be  Huiga  of  Bemersyde,  and 
used  their  arms  on  their  carnages  and  plate,  and 
that  it  was  as  little  doubted  that  we  were  Uaig« 
of  Bemersyde  as  that  our  name  was  Hai;?,  and 
family  pride  had  not  died  out  amongst  the  Clack- 
mannanshire Hoiga. 

I  myself,  many  yean  before  there  was  nny 
chance  of  Bemersyde  falling  to  nny  of  the  family^ 
when  1  wns  electioneering  in  Middlesex,  claimed 
to  be  descended  from  the  Haig  who  fought  on  the 
winning  side  at  Bannockburn,  and  was  laughed  at 
in  the  Morning  Star  of  those  days  as  having 
"  Bannockburn  on  the  brain,"  so  that  the  state- 
ment that  our  claim  to  be  Uaigs  of  Bemersyde  ia 
rectnt  is  not  io  accordance  with  fact  fur  two  gene*

ut  one  tiling,  in  our  opinion,  wafi  wanted  to  mr>ke  tlia

many  that  call  for  special  attention  ;  there  arc  not 
many  of  the  sort  commonly  known  ai  Puritan.  Sebsfttan 
and  Bonaventure  occur.  We  would  i^uegfKt  that  it  is 
probable  that  these  persons  were  the  children  of  Kntimn

lish er.) 
TVi  have  received  the  above  two  most  useful  pamphlcla, 
illustrating  tht?  history  of  an  important  Leicestershire 
totTn.  A  han<tbot>k  cnnnot  enter  deeply  into  anliquarinn 
detnils,  but  we  aro  bound  to  say  thai  tlicre  are  very  few 
persons  who  will  not  find  in  tb»e  pngos  much  that  fs 
new  to  them.  The  arrangement  is  very  good,  aitd  the 
notes  on  religioui  nonconfurtuity  in  nest  ages  ura  eipe- 
clally  uiorul.  John  Howe,  thonoted  FuHtaiilUebl>i*piKn, 
ivasbom  here,  and  the  ract  ia  duly  chronicled.  In  1^44 
income  was  burnt  in  the  church  of  St.  Poter  and  St. 
Paul  here;  not,  hnwovcr,  it  would  eeem,  for  ritual  pur- 
poies.  but  to  sweeten  it  after  loldier^  had  been  quartered 
therein.  Tho  practice  which  persons  who  are  not  over- 
vriie  indulge  in  of  chungint;  the  historic  names  4'f  ctrcots 
into  something  more  ''polite"  ia  iociJentally  noticed  by 
Mr.  Fletcher.  Tbe  old  town  prison  wws  near  the 
Bh[imbl<»,  in  a  plice  calleil  Dark  Hole  Yard.  This 
name,  it  seems,  has  not  bten  found  fine  cnouith  for 
modem  use,  so  the  spot  boa  now  been  named  Commor- 
cUI  Plare.  In  speaking  of  Baxter  Gate,  Mr.  Flctober 
tells  us  that  laxitr  in  Scott h  for  a  laker.  It  is  certainly 
true  if  he  miaiia  by  "Hootch"  Northern  Knglisli ;  but 
does  be  not  know  that  tho  word  is  also  good  old  .Midland

The  list  i>f  the  Loughborough  rectors,  Iboagh  small  in 
eompats,  must  have  been  a  work  of  much  laUonr.     It

ints  where  tu  find  far  mure. 

Hound  a   Poinda  Fire,     By   Mrs.  9.  G.  Middlcmore. 

Illustrated  by  Miss  £.  D.  Hale.    (Satcbell  it  Co.) 
Tnt8  short  collection  of  Spanish  et'irics  has  the  creat 
^barm  of  frcsboeai  and  Dorolty.    Tbe  legends  are  poou- 


liarly  eharacteriatic  of  the  Iund  of  their  origin,  forth*  i

sombre  grandeur  tempered  with  n  da«h  of  cbivalric  '

Prtefovf  Stones  ccnsidtred  in  iheir  ScituUjU  and  AriuO'c 
HtlatioHs.  By  A.  11.  Church,  M.A,  (Chapman  k 
Uall.) 
Tnrs  little  book  is  the  latfst  addition  to  the  most  useful 
St riea  of  the  South  Kensington  .Alunrum  Art  Handbooks. 
It  is  a  pity,  we  think,  that  Mr.  Church  has  not  treated 
his  subject  in  a  more  popular  manner.  If  he  h.id 
written  a  little  less  scientifically  he  nould  hare  appealed 
to  a  much  larger  cUai  of  readers.  As  it  is,  we  are 
afraid  that  n.ime  who  may  tiike  ui>  Mr.  Church's  book 
will  be  frii^btened  at  tbe  nulhor's  learning,  and  give  up 
a-y  further  inveitieatim  of  the  subject.  A  catalogue  of 
the  Tnnnshend  collection,  uccnmpanied  with  illuslra- 
tli>Tis  of  several  of  the  gems,  is  given  at  tbe  end  of  the 
roTume.

tbdurat«  historicfti  nodnle,  the  inoontest- 
tinnit;  of  Glutonbur;  from  Celtic  iato 
coQ  timea,  hiLs  more  lately  inrited  Bnothcr 
Ooe  of  oar  most  distioKuiahod  and 
hiatorians  (Mr.  K  A.  Freetuan,  in 
j»'«  Magazine,  Octobsr,  1880,  p.  467j 
sd  a  fresh  objection.  He  sajq  :  "  There  ii 
g  very  odi  in  an  English  gentilo  name 
duplacing  tho  British  name  ;  there  ia 
gBuspiciouB  in  the  evident  attempts  to 
)  EagUBb  and  Britijih  names  trausUte  one 
in  the  transparent  strivinf;  to  see  an 
(»f  gla$»  in  botlu  Gl(eiiin.gaourK^  it  must 
I  in  mind,  is  as  diatinctlj  an  English 
ame  as  any  in  the  whole  range  of  Kaglish 
itare."  The  fallacy  here  set  forth,  being 
nnch  wider  bearing  than  its  immediate 
OD,  demands  our  more  particular  atteA- 
re  efpecially  as  a  rectification  of  it  will 
an  important  contribution  to  our  own 
trgnment.  This  learned  writer  says  that 
spicions  "  towards  the  pre-Sazon  monastic 
I  of  GlAstonbury  that  the  name  '*  (ilx's- 
b,"  being  *'aa  Engliih  gtntHe  namf,"  and 
a  lecalat  condition,  immediately 


IZ 


sncceedcd  at  a  monastery  to  ita  British  name  of 
"  YnyBvitrin."  This  phrase  "gentile  name"  is 
one  of  the  badges  of  allegianoe,  now  almost 
universal  among  even  the  most  accepted  writora 
on  English  history  or  ethnology  or  topof^raphy, 
to  the  sovereignty  of  a  canon  of  the  most  pro- 
fonnd  English  Teutonisi  the  late  Mr.  Kemble,  that 
tho  presence  of  -ing  in  the  name  of  n  place  is 
an  almost  infallible  token  that  the  place  is  of 
Anglo-Saxon  origin  ;  that  it  indicates  it  to  hare 
been  the  seat  of  the  settlement  of  one  of  the  first 
families  or  clans  or  gentu  of  tbe  Anglo-Saxon 
intruders,  who  had  expelled  or  extirpated  the 
earlier  Celtic  possessors  of  tbe  place,  and  com- 
pleted their  usurpation  by  giving  their  own 
'*  patronymic" — the  oame  of  their  own  patriarch, 
with  this  added  sign  of  filiation,  almost  parallel 
to  -iU  in  Israelite  or  Jebusite,  Mr,  Remble  bad, 
of  course,  observed  the  many  cases  in  the  ChfonicU 
and  the  other  authentic  Anglo-Saxon  records,  and 
in  widerspread  materials  of  etymological  induction, 
wherein  tbe  ing  actually  does  signify  the  race 
or  progeny  of  the  person  to  whose  name  it  is 
annexed  ;  but  when  he  extended  that  observation 
to  flll  the  names  of  English  places  of  which  that 
syllable  is  a  conatilnent— when  he  used  it  gfo- 
grdphically — it  ia  believed  thut  he  became  the 
parent  of  an  enormous  crop  of  errors  in  nearly  all 
his  very  distinguished  followers.  He  carried  out 
his  view  by  collecting  a  valuable  catalogue  {Sax^ms 
in  J?rig/a«<i,  vol.  i.  p,  449,  &c.)  of  more  than  thir- 
teen hundred  such  names  of  places,  of  which  he 
attributes  the  origin  to  this  sort  of  settlement  of 
Iba  invaders,  and  for  whose  allotment  or  territory 
bo  baa  adopted  the  designation  of  "TheMnrlt." 
He  Acknowledf;oB  that  tbe  nnmber  in  bis  list  may 
be  liable  to  a  small  discount  for  corruptions  of 
other  forma  into  tnrr,  as  we  have  already  seen  to 
be  the  case  of  "  Abingdon,"  but,  aa  Mr.  Freeman 
justly  guards  it,  Glastonbury  could  not  so  escape, 
beAAuse  its  earliest  post-British  appfarance  is  as 
*'  Glwstingaburb" — a  "gentile"  or  lay  proprietary 
name  for  a  monastery.  Mr.  Freemm's  error  lies 
in  having  too  hastily  joined  tbe  great  majority 
who  have  submitted  to  Mr.  Kemble's  canon,  and 
have  acceptei  his  list  of  **  The  Marks,"  wherein 
'GlaMtingas,  Somerset,"  twice  appears.  A  second 
comparative  glance  at  the  two  names,  the  British 
"  rnirtvitrin '*  and  tbe  West  Saxon  "Glasstiuf/a- 
buhr,"  will  hi  enough  to  satisfy  most  readers  that 
tbe  'ing  is  no  more  than  an  aotual  and  bodily 
sacoession,  from  the  British  to  the  English,  by 
mero  triusoription,  into  tbe  orthography  of  the 
newer  people,  of  the  *'ynys"=an  island  or 
peninsula,  of  the  older  ;  while  it  is  very  well 
known,  evei  to  as  who  are  not  Welsh  sobolars, 
that  glass  is  a  translation  of  "  vitrln."  The  pro- 
cess of  translation  alsT  extends  to  the  necessary 
transpoaiog  of  the  a^lj-'ctive  and  sabstantive.  Wa 
can  scaroely  doubt  ihsX  the  same  kas  happeaed  to 


ft  great  number,  perhaps  the  greaUsl  uumber,  of 
Mr.  Eemble's  tuiite«D  hundred.  Indeed,  if  we 
trace  the  rivers  on  a  full-named  map  from  Iheir 
mouths,  we  shall  leadily  fiud  many  of  the  names 
thus  formed  that  hnve  peninsular  sitei*. 

But  the  best  maps  (until  A,i>.  1900)  are  not 
lUtely  to  show  this  local  feature  in  most  cases, 
and  the  question  could  only  be  exhausted  by  an 
intimate  acquaintunce  with  the  place  of  each  of 
the  thirteen  handrcd  names.  A  comparison  of 
the  first  twelro  names  in  Mr.  Kemble'a  list  with 
the  charters  referred  to  shows  that  the  number 
might  have  been  greatly  extended  by  many  -imj 
names  which  he  has  omitted,  and  the  four  of  them 
of  which  the  sites  could  be  reah'zed  prove  to  be 
natural  ings  by  rivers.  After  all,  what  need  is  there 
of  this  ?  Jng  as  an  unattached  word,  descriptive 
of  such  sites,  has  still  probably  &  thouBand  in- 
dependent lives  all  over  Auglo-SaKonized  Britain. 
Why  should  it  be  claimed  for  a  totally  different 
meaning  whenever  it  has  happened  that  the  pres- 
sure and  friction  of  usage  and  time  have  "  aggln* 
tinated "  and  coDSolidated  the  descriptive  phrase 
in  which  it  occurs  Into  a  permanent  proper  name  ? 
Under  the  variation  -inch  the  Celtic  word  ynyi  or 
tnnia  is  nolortoasly  abundant  throughout  Anglian 
Scotland  and  fingliah  Ireland  ;  and  the  almost 
total  absence  of  this  form  of  it,  inch,  frooi  place- 
names  throughout  English  Britain  can  be  best 
aoooimted  for  by  its  having  been  absorbed  among 
the  very  numerous  examples  of  'ing. 

Among  othercontemporary  books,  in  aoimportant 
and  interesting  one,  deservedly  much  read,  Prof. 
J.  It  Green's  Making  of  England,  Mr.  Kemble's 
pTopoaal  of  the  presence  of  -ing,  as  a  general  proof 
of  aerivation  of  a  place-name  from  a  patronymic, 
b  resorted  to  throughout  the  chain  of  what  may 
be  called  ethnical  topography  which  forms  ao  pro- 
minent a  part  of  that  book,  and  is  constantly  re- 
ferred to  as  if  it  was  an  ultimate  and  proved  fjrat 
principle.  The  name  of  the  importer  of  liberty 
and  energy  and  law,  who  on  that  spot  elbowed  out 
the  *'  poor  Wolahmao,''  as  Dr.  Guest  called  him, 
with  his  imputed  csnoe-shaped  skull,  who  onght 
never  to  have  been  there,  is  over  and  over  sgtiin 
inferred  solely  from  this  ingredient  of  the  name  of 
the  place. 

Ii  is  but  fair  also  to  warn  the  reader  that  the 
present  writer  ia  a  child  who  has  himself  been 
singed  by  this  canon  of  Mr.  Kemble's.  Some 
years  ago  (1875),  after  Laving  shown  good  reason 
for  the  greater  antiquity  ot  Bristol  than  had 
been  assigned  to  it  by  an  iuUaeutial  hialorian,  I 
•ought  to  cap  my  other  arguments  by  following 
the  crowd  of  notables  who  had  accepteil  the  conou 
as  if  proved.  A  village  suburban  to  Bristol  has 
the  name  of  "Brisliogton."  Probably  not  re- 
membering its  contiguity  to  Bristol,  Mr.  Kemble 
baa  included  this  pUce  in  his  list  of  '*  m»rkfl  "  an 
fcaving  been  colonixed  by  acUo  of  "Briatiogas." 


I  was  templed  to  think,  as  I  still  do,  that 
name  really  stood  for  **  Bristolington,"  and 
fortunately  went  on  to  claim  for  Bristol asntficient 
antiquity  to  have  had  auch  an  otfahoot  at  that 
early  date  when  these  "  gentile  names  "  are  alleged 
to  have  been  distributed.  This  was  an  over  proofs 
falling  beyond  the  saddle,  The  real  state  of  the 
case  is  that  immediately  above  Bristol  a  reach  of 
the  river  Avon  bends  ronnd  a  piece  of  alluvial 
land  such  as  we  often  still  find  called  "Tbelng." 
It  never  could  have  equalled  either  in  size  or  in 
the  surpassing  beauty  of  its  surroundings  *'  The 
lugs  '  on  the  Tay,  as  viewed  from  the  bridge  at 
Perth,  but  it  is  similar  in  the  principle  of  it 
natural  formation.  It  ia  now  crossed  by  two  rai 
ways,  and  oppressed  and  blighted  by  the  exbal 
tions  of  neigbbonriog  chemical  factories,  bu 
within  living  memory  it  was  beaatiful,  aud  one 
of  his  letters  shows  that  tho  early  memory  of  it 
continued  to  delight  the  later  years  of  Soutbey. 
The  village  of  BrialiDgtoo  — Bristol-iog-ton — has 
risen  where  the  ^mer  land  rises  from  tliis  bit  of 
alluvial  pasture. 

What  Mr.  Freeman,  in  the  passage  above  ex* 
tracted,  calls  "  the  whole  range  of  KogUah  nomen- 
clature "  must  be  limited  to  this  contribution  to 
it  by  Mr.  Kemble,  and  the  adoption  of  it  by  his 
too  confiding  followers.  Another  distinguished 
Tentonist,  the  late  Sir.  B.  Thorpe,  alnco  Mr. 
Kemble,  has,  however,  reverted  to  a  physical 
gcographioal  oanse  of  such  names  {Diploui.  Angi., 
16(IS,  p.  658).  Perhaps  the  continued  dominance 
of  Mr.  Kemble'd  tribal  or  racial  theory  in  ourrcul 
books  and  occasional  literature  may  be  accounted 
for  by  its  startling  ingenuity,  and  the  great  con- 
venience of  bis  valuable  list  of  these  place-name% 
and  of  accepting  so  much  labour  already  per- 
formed as  if  already  proved,  ftlr.  Thorpe,  how- 
ever, as  be  often  does,  derives  tho  English  -%ngt 
from  Friesic,  Old  Norse,  and  Danish.  It  would 
have  been  a  magnificeut  haul  for  Prof.  Wi 
his  Royal  Commission  after  Danish  ▼ 
England;  but  neither  he  nor  his  old  d 
Poutoppidan  seems  to  have  claimed  this 
Beine.  The  Rev,  Isaac  Tay  lor  appears  to  i 
"  patronymic  "  meaning,  and  gives  a  loi 
references  to  foreign  authors  for  assumi

THE  OLD  WORCESTER  PORCELAIN  WORKS. 

The  partnership  deed  of  the  original  Worcester 
Porcelain  Company  has  lately  been  published  in 
a  siriiill  pamphlet  by  Mr.  Binns.  These  articles 
of  partnership  are  of  so  ranch  interest,  and  throw 
so  much  light  upon  what  boa  hitherto  been  obscure, 
that  a  few  remurks  about  them  may  not  be  thought 
out  of  place  in  "N.  &  Q."  In  the  first  place, 
the  deed  is  dated  June  4,  1751,  and  endorsed, 
*' Articles  for  Carrying  on  the  Worcester  Tonquin 
Manufacture."  This  endoraetnent  is  worth  noticing, 
fts  it  shows  the  intention  of  the  original  promoters 
of  the  company  to  imitate  Oriental  porcelain  as 
closely  ns  they  could.  We  know  how  well  they 
succeeded  both  in  paste  and  colour.  The  deed 
contitins  only  one  recital,  but  that  is  an  important 
one,  and  sets  at  rest  any  doubt  as  to  the  persons 
irho  were  inrcntors  of  the  process.  It  ia  as 
foUowi :  **  Whereas  a  new  Manufacture  of 
Earthenware  has  been  Invented  by  John  Wall 
of  the  City  of  Worcester,  Doctor  of  Physic,  and 
'William  Davis  of  the  same,  Apothecary,  under  the 
denomination  of  Worcester  Porcellain."  Further 
on  in  the  deed  we  find  that  the  buiiness  of  the 
company  was  to  be  carried  on  with  a  capital  of 
4,500^,  which  was  to  be  contributed  in  shares  of 
•dili'erent  proportions  by  the  following  persons  : 
Dr.  William  Baylies,  of  Evesham  ;  Edward  Cave,  of 
SL  John's  Gate,  London,  printer;  Ricbnrd  lioldship, 
of  Worce-ster,  glover  ;  Richard  I{rodribb,of  Berer- 
Jey,  E^q.,  Messrs.  John  Brodribb  and  John  Ber- 
wick, of  Worcester,  woollen  drapers,  Josiah  Hold- 
ship,  of  the  same  place,  maltster  ;  John  Thomeloe 
of  the  same  place,  gentleman ;  Dr.  John  Wall ; 
William  D*vu  ;  Edward  Jackson,  of  Worceater, 
inerchiint;  Samuel  Bradley,  of  the  same  place, 
goldsmith ;  John  Doharty,  of  the  same  place, 
^enLteTiian;  Samuel  PritcheU,  of  Knightwick,  clerk, 
nnd  William  Oliver,  of  Worcester,  gentleman. 

We  thus  know  for  the  first  time  the  names  of 
ftU  the  original  founders  of  these  works.  Cave's 
name,  so  far  as  I  am  aware,  has  never  been  men- 
tioned in  connexion  with  the  company  before;  but 
now  the  mystery  it  oat  we  can  all  quite  under- 


stand the  renf^on  why  a  woodcut  of  the  "  Porce- 
lain Manufactory  at  Worceater"  appeared  in  the 
CfentltmanU  MugaxinA  for  August,  1752.  We  Cfta 
also  now  more  fully  appreciate  the  charming  sim- 
plicity of  the  announccmcDt  made  in  a  note  ap- 
landed  to  the  engraving  :  "  N.B. — A  sale  of  this 
manufacture  will  begin  at  the  Worceater  Music 
Meeting,  on  September  20,  with  great  variety  of 
ware,  and  t'u  said  at  a  moderate  price  "  !

"Forth  BRrHciyo"  and  "Bringino  Home" 
SYN0NYM0D9  wiTB  BoRrAL. — In  a  few  of  the 
old  Lancashire  and  Cheshire  wills  which  I  have 
had  occasion  to  examine  from  time  to  time,  I  bava 
met  witli  two  expressions  which  hare  often  struck 
me  as  singular.  As  I  have  no  recollection  of  seeing 
them  noticed  before,  they  may  be  worthy  of  a 
corner  in  "  N.  &  Q."  They  are  "  forth-bringing  '* 
and  **  bringing  home,"  used  instead  of  burial.  The 
following  examples  will  best  explain  their  use, 
commencing  with  the  earliest  instance  I  am  familiar 
with  :— 

1523.  Will  of  Isabel  Chetban,  of  Manchester:  "The 
residue  of  all  my  goods  not  boqwethcd,  after  my/urfA 
bn/nffi/n/j  mflde,"  &c. 

l5i:i.  Will  of  Hugh  HabcrgAm.  of  Bradlegh  in  Hapton,

Lnnc.  Esq.:  "Shall  after  my  death  beatowo  upon  my

15S1.  Will  of  Richard  Hall,  Follow  of  the  College  of 
Manchester :  "  And  after  my  /qj-Ui  hnHtjinst,  tbo  rflst 
of  mv  goodes  to  bo  divided,"  Jcc 

151)7.  Will  of  AlicsGarByde,  of  Oldham:  "The  charge 
of  my  fortk  hrinyiiiff  heiug  taken  out  of  tbo  whole  of 
my  gooda,"  kc. 

IG^O.  Will  of  Andrew  Qartstde.  of  Denthaw,  in  the 
parish  of  Baddleworth :  "  I  will  that  my  farihlringingft 
funerall  oxpcnB«i."  he.,  he  paid. 

I(>a3.  Win  (T  Kichard  Buckley,  of  Grottonhoad,  In  tlio 
pariah  of  Haddleworth  :  "  My  will  is  tbatmy/orCA  brintf' 
tnyt,  fuiiermll  expenses  be  diacbarged/'  kc. 

The  above  extracts  show  the  nse  of  this  expression 
for  orer  one  handre  1  years,  and  that  it  was  em- 
ployed by  persons  of  rarious  ranks  and  of  both 
sexea. 

Of  the  other  expression,  "  bringing  home,"  I 
con  only  supply  two  examples  : — 

"1572.  Will  of  Philip  Mainwarlng.  of  PaoTer,  co. 
Chester,  £iq  :  "I  will  that  my  debts,  fonoralli,  and 
briHQittff  Xovu  shall  be  discharged,"  kc. 

1645.    Will   of  Tbomu  Leadbeater,   of   Cranage,  co, 

Cbester:  "  Mv  detirc  ii that  my  children  shall  briNff 

tut  kof»t  with  Dread  and  cbeeso  and  drinke." 

I  shall  be  glad  if  any  other  similar  illustrations 
can  be  supplied  of  the  use  of  these  two  quaint 
expreseions.  J.  P.  Earwakcvl.

The  Great  Storm  miar  NomnuH&u  in  1558. 
— An  account  of  thia  ^torni  has  been  giveo  bjr  Stow, 
A9  well  as  by  the  local  historiiinfi,  but  1  am  not  aware 
of  any  writer  haviug  noticed  that  a  coDtemporory 
Account  of  it  is  to  be  foand  in  a  letter  of  Gilbert 
CuiiBio  (Coji^atos)  written  from  Padna  the  same 
ye:»r,  which  forma  prt  of  the  narratire  of  bis 
Italian  journey  published  under  Ibo  title  of  Topo- 
f^raphia  Italicantm  al'quot  ciiniaiuTn.  It  is 
included  in  the  very  scarce  Gilberti  Cognati 
Kciiermi  Optra  (Basileie,  15G2),  3  vols.  foUo  (vol.  i. 
p\\  3<90-393).  Gilbert  Cousin  was  a  Canon  of 
Kozertijr,  in  Burgundy,  and  U  bei«t  known  to  us 
•J  the  secretiiry  of  Erasmus.  He  accompanied 
Ctaude  dc  la  Baume,  the  young  Archbishop  of 
Besan^on,  to  Padua  in  1558,  and  spent  some  time 
there,  whilst  the  archbiBhop,  who,  though  be  had 
occupied  tbe  see  of  Besanron  for  nearly  fourteen 
years,  was  then  only  twenty-eight  years  of  afle, 
WW  engaged  in  ntiidying  philosophy  and  taw.  The 
TopograjSiui  is  in  the  form  of  letters  addressed  to 
^uillaume  dc  Poupet,  a  kinamaa  of  the  arch- 
bishop, and  then  a  Cauon  of  Beaangon.  Tlie 
passngo  relating  to  the  Htorm  near  Nottingham 
inny  probably  be  of  interest  to  Notlingbamshire 
antiquaries.  It  is  from  an  undated  letter,  bat 
written  in  August  or  September,  155S  (p.  388): —

interest  to  some  of  yonr  readers:  "Symondes 
Dewes  the  sonno  of  I^inl  Dewes  eiquier  was  bap- 
tized Decern:  xtix"."  In  reference  to  tbe  monu- 
ment which  was  erected  to  Sir  Simonds's  grand- 
piirents,  Mr.  Worthy  in  his  excellent  Tourist's 
O'nidt  to  Dorttt*hire  (1882)^  falls  into  n  curious 
error.  Speaking  of  tbe  church  at  Chardstock,  he 
says  (p.  £6),  *'  The  most  interesting  monument  is 
tbat  to  Kicbard  and  Joanna  Symonds,  grand- 
parents to  Sir  Symonds  d'Ewes,  who  waa  born 
here  at  the  family  seat  of  Croxden."  I  have  no 
doubt  tbat  it  irac  the  most  interesting  monument 
in  the  church,  but  it  would  pnz^Ie  Mr.  Worth  to 
find  it  now.  Since  the  rebuildinti  of  the  church 
in  1863  all  traces  of  it  have  dis.ippeared,  with 
the  exception  of  the  tablet  on  which  the  inscrip- 
tion waa  written.  These  reatflrera  and  rebnildere 
of  our  old  pariah  churches  have  much,  indeed,  to

METitMrSTcnosis  in  Euglawd.— Tbo  following

of  Marcli  8,  to  which  it  was  communicated  by  the 
Rev.  J.  Hoskyna  AbraUoll,  Combe  Vicarage,  near 
Woodstock  : — 

'■  A  friend  of  mine  who  hi  vicar  of  8t.  Cleer  (a  parish 
\n  tbo  eaiit  of  Cornwall)  has  told  mo  that  at  least  one 
housentAid  of  bis— I  think  his  scrrants  in  general— rery 
anxiously  atoided  killing  »  ^fider,  l«cauM  Parson  Jupp, 
toy  friend's  predvorssor  (whom  ba  succeeded  In  18M). 
vrns,  it  tTuB  believed,  somewhere  in  the  vicarage  in  some 
api'ler— no  one  knew  in  which  of  the  vicarage  spiders. 
Whnt  a  future  ii,  it  seeuiB.nowibly  reserved  forObriitisn

Amerioo  Vmpucci. — The  following  snd  extract 
from  the  Qu9en,orLady$ Nticrpaptr,  of  March  S4, 
if  correct,  is  worthy  of  record  in  "  N.  &  Q.*': — 

"Two  old  maids  in  Konie.  the  last  descendants  ol 
Amerign  Venpucct,  who  gave  his  name  to  America,  are 
now  bes^inR  tbnt  the  pcTiRion  nf  ten  crowns  a  month 
mw-pied  to  their  family  by  tho  Republic  of  Florence  in 
1G&0  sliould  be  restored  to  them.  The  la§t  male  mem- 
ber of  the  family  named  Amerigo  died  seven  yean  blao." 
It  is  to  be  hoped,  if  the  pension  ia  restored,  that 
it  may  be  calculated  at  tbe  present  value  of  ten 
crowns  of  1690.  EnsiaND  Watehtoji. 

SuRHEr  Folk-lore.— The  following  proverb  I 
heard  the  other  day  for  the  first  time.  In  allu- 
sion to  the  backwardness  of  the  prcs^ent  season  a 
labourer  said  that  it  waa  likely  to  be  a  fiuitful 
one,  and  added,  **  There  is  a  saying  : — 

'  When  the  cuckoo  comes  to  a  bare  thorn 
'Tis  like  to  be  a  good  year  for  corn.'  ** 

There  is  a  general  preference  in  these  parts  for  a 
backward  over  a  forward  spring  as  indicatit.g  a 
good  harvest.    I  hitely  beard  this  expression  at

gardener  the  shortness  of  the  cowslip  and  violet 
slnlks  this  spring  (so  short  that  one  can  hardly 
gather  them  for  a  posy),  he  told  me  that  he  had 
heard  an  old  man  say  that  if  the  cowslip  atulka 
were  short,  a  dry  summer  would  follow.  This 
idea  may  nob  be  peculiar  to  East  Anglia.

who  was  christened  in  1581  was  afterwards  the 
wife  of  tbe  Lord  Chief  Justice;  indeed,  if  Mr, 
DaltOD  is  right  in  aaylof^  that  she  was  a  graod- 
motber  in  1605,  it  seems  impoasible  that  it  should 
be  so. 

Mr.  Peacock,  in  a  foot-note  to  p.  132  of  bia 
book  called  ChurcJi  Ftirnitttrej  states  that  William 
GirlinfftoD,  who  married  IsnbeLl,  daughter  of  Sir 
William  Ascongb,  was  son  of  Sir  Kubert  Girling- 
toD,  of  Normanby,  near  Brigg — the  Normanby,  in 
fact,  to  Lincolnshire.  Of  course  there  may  have 
been  Oirlinglons  of  Normanby  in  both  counties', 
bat  as  I  take  a  )>reat  interest  in  Frances,  daughter 
of  Sir  Christopher  Wray,  I  should  much  like  the 
proof  (if  there  be  any)  that  her  mother  was  bora 
in  Yorkshire.  J.  Goulton  CoseTAULE.

Thb  Rkv.  Marmaduke  Dallas,— Io  a  pam- 
phlet containing  twenty-three  pages,  entitled  The 
R—d.  Mr.  M—ke  /)— s**  Case,  by  "  Phiiocalos," 
Dublin,  6ro.,  1749-50,  Brit.  Mus.,  416A&,  the 
following  passage  occurs  : — 

"And  Mr.  D— s,  having  luckily  mamed  Into  one  of 
tho  tip-top  Families  of  the  Country  (a  circumstance  now 
sufficiently  truropetted  all  the  Kingdom  over,)  most  (on 
bis  Wife's  Account  as  well  as  from  a  Regard  paid  to  Ida 
own  personal  Worth  by  the  Unprejudiced  part  of  tho 
Clergy  and  others)  have  had  many  Prionda  of  Character 
and  Consideration,  and  Credit  too  with  hi<i  L— p,  who» 
by  tbcir  fuvourable  lie  presentations  from  Time  to  Time 
to  his  L— p,  would  not  have  failed  to  improve  to  the 
Utmost  Advantage  every  thing  praise-worthy  in  Mr. 
D — i's  Conduct.*' 

The  "R— d.  Mr.  M—ke  D— s"  was  Marmaduke 
Dallas,  a  Scotchman  of  tolerable  birth,  as  we 
Ictirn  from  the  above  quoted  and  other  pamphlets, 
and  a  clergyman  in  the  diocese  of  the  Biabop  of 
Cork,  by  whom  he  appeani  to  haTe  been  rather 
arbitrarily  degraded.  Is  anythiog  known  of  thif 
Marmaduke,  his  ancestors,  and  bis  descendants 
Being  a  gentleman  of  good  birth,  he  could  have 
belonged  to  but  one  of  two  families — Cantray  and 
St.  Martin's.  From  Bnrkc's  Land(d  Gentry  it  is 
seen  that  be  did  not  belong  to  the  latter,  and  h« 
nmst  therefore  have  been  a  cadet  of  DjiIIos  of  Can- 
tray.  In  the  Genealogist  (1870,  vol.  iii.  p,  406)  ho 
is  said  to  have  been  a  son  of  John  Dallas  of  Little 
Cantray,  of  the  Cantray  branch  of  the  family. 
Who  was  this  John  Dallas?  Who  was  the  lady 
of  *' tip-top'*  family  to  whom  Marmaduke  was 
married;  and  what  became  of  the  children,  who, 
according  to  our  pamphlet,  were  born  to  them? 
And  did  Munuaduke  and  his  descendants  remain 
in  Ireland;  and  are  any  of  them  still  exisiingi 
Any  information  on  this  subject  will  bo  mo«t 
welcome.  A.  Caldec.

Familt  of  Le  Coute.— There  was  a  family  of 
thia  name  living  in  Jamaica,  1670-1705,  but  I  am 
unable  to  trace  their  previous  biaiory,  and  shall  bo 
glad  if  any  one  can  assist  me.  Tbe  name  is  spelt 
difl'erently  in  nearly  every  case,  one  deed,  where 
the  name  is  mentioned  five  times,  having  it  epelt 
differently  in  each  case,  but  the  most  frequent  is 
"Le  Comtc,"  or  "Count"  Gideon  le  Comte,  of 
the  parinh  of  S.  Jogo  de  la  Vega,  is  mentioned, 
1070.  He  left  two  daughters  and  coheirs,  one, 
Judith,  married  William  Scarlett,  of  tbe  parish 
of  St.  Andrew,  Esq.,  1705  ;  another,  Elizabeth, 
married  Francis  Mor^n.  It  has  been  supposed 
to  have  been  a  French  family,  who  may  have 
suppressed  their  natueon  reaching  Jamaica,  having 
left  their  own  country  for  religious  or  pr 
reasons.  The  Hon.  Sir  John  Jennings

publication  of  the  Army  Listj  but  in  which  regi- 
ments are  entered  accordin{(  to  their  supposed 
seniority,  the  regiment  afterwards  known  as 
the  0th  Foot,  now  the  Norfolk  Regiment,  is  given 
precedence  over  the  regiment  afterwards  known  as 
the  Sih  King's.  It  is  true  that  at  tbe  period  in 
question  regiments  were  usually  distinguished  by 
their  colonels'  names.  Nererthelesa,  this  inversion 
of  their  order  of  seniority  in  the  only  lists  of  the

THE  DENE  HOLES  IN  ES3EX. 
(&*'  S.  vi.  247,  414,  43a) 

The  origin  of  these  carions  pits  is  a  snb* 
ject  worthy  of  a  careful  and  thorough  inquiry, 
and  it  is  s<^mewhat  surprising  that  no  systematio 
investigation  has  yet  been  accorded  to  them. 
The  labour  of  private  individuals  within  the  last 
few  years  ha^  brought  to  light  some  facts  pointing 
to  their  great  antiquity,  and  it  may  be  fairly 
accepted  that,  to  whatever  use  they  may  have  been 
put  within  historic  times,  or  whatever  modifica- 
tion they  may  have  undergone  within  the  "iron 
age,"  the  date  of  their  original  construction  must 
be  referred  to  the  prthiHoric  times  of  primitive 
man.  At  the  same  time,  until  a  suflicient  ex- 
amination of  the  contents  of  the  workings  has 
been  made  upon  which  to  hose  a  good  *' working 
hypothesis,"  it  is  not  safe  to  form  too  definite  a 
conclusion  respecting  them.  It  i?,  therefore,  cause 
for  congratulation  that  a  scientific  exploration  is 
about  to  bo  carried  out  by  the  Essex  Field  Club  ; 
and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  their  success  in  dealing 
with  the  colony  of  Dene  holes  at  Orays  Thurrock 
will  be  as  complete  oi  thair  recent  investigation  of 
Ambresbnry  Camp,  as  recorded  at  the  lost  meeting 
of  the  British  Association.  In  the  meanwhile,  it 
is  not  sjhfe  to  place  implicit  relLtnce  upon  the 
various  accounts  and  conjeotnros  tbat  have  been 
made  respecting  them^  especially  in  the  case  of 
those  who  have  never  visited  the  spot  and  de- 
scended the  ihafta.  In  "  X.  &  Q.,"  G'»  S.  vi.  4U> 
Lysart  remarks  that  "  numerous  relics  of  human 
occupation  have  been  recovered  from  them,  snch 
as  pottery,  red  or  Samian  ware,  glass  vemels, 
&o."  If  this  statement  is  a  perfectly  trustworthy! 
record  of  facts,  it  is  to  be  regretted  that  details 
of  the  exact  position  in  the  humus  in  which 
the  "finds"  were  buried  are  not  given,  as  it  is 
not  unlikely  that  the  hole  has  been  demoralised 
aa  adeposit  for  less  ancient  "crockery"  than  Snniiaa 
ware.  At  all  events,  the  occurrence  would  point 
to  a  comparatively  recent  occupation,  and  is  ex- 
traneous to  the  theory  that  they  were  formed  ia 
poIsBoUthic  times  for  stores  or  dwelling-places,  ^a 
the  most  probable  explanation  of  their  origin. 

The  snggeilion  brought  forward  by  Mi,  "^ 
DINOTOX  (he,  cit.)t   that  they  were  quai  '

In  the  fint  place,  Virgil  is  not  ipeakio?,  at  the

abepberds,  TbraciaD%  &c.,  and,  indeed,  names 
tbem  but  once  in  the  book  quoted,  and  then 
only  cacually.  Neither  can  it  be  supposed  that 
the  lioes  describe  the  Dene  bolev  in  Essex— if 
description  it  can  be  called — since  no  details  what- 
erer  are  giren  by  Virgil,  not  even  the  shape. 

Acoouttts  of  some  visits  ]xiid  by  the  E^sex 
Field  Club,  prfcliminary  to  their  exploration,  ui;iy 
oe  found  in  the  fiiandnrd  for  September  11,  and 
also  in  an  article  by  one  of  the  purty  (Mr,  llonry 
Walker,  KG.H.},  io  the  November  number  of 
the  JjtUur€  Ilcur,  both  of  which  contuin  some 
interesting  details  of  their  shape  and  situiition. 

Mr.  Spurreil  has  written  fully  and  ably  on  Dt^ne 
holev  in  the  Arcftaologifal  Journal,  Nos.  102, 
153.  Their  chief  use  and  object  was,  he  thinks), 
to  serve  as  granaries  and  places  of  refuge.  This 
theory  might,  I  think,  be  accepted  but  for  the 
fact  that,  so  fur  as  has  been  hitherto  ascertained, 
these  holes  are  almost,  or  quite,  unknown  in  any 
part  of  Enfflund  except  Kent  and  Essex,  and  in 
these  counties  are  ulwuys  fouud  to  be  sunk  into 
beds  of  chalk.  It  uiust  surely  be  conceded  that 
if  the  inhabitants  of  Britain  were  in  the  habit  of 
excavating  tbem  for  such  purposes,  we  should 
probably  find  them  in  other  strata,  many  of  which 
would  serve  equally  well.  Another  difficulty  is 
that  they  occur  in  moat  iitBtanccs  in  large  groups, 
a  great  many  very  close  together,  instead  of  being 
scattered  in  small  groups  over  a  large  district. 

Mr.  Spurrell  is  rather  disposed  to  pooh-pooh 
the  well-known  passage  in  Pliny's  Natural  Jlis- 
tory^  in  which  he  describes  the  holes  with  con- 
siderable accuracy,  and  eays  that  the  chalk  was 
used  for  manure,  and  that  its  clfect  lasted  for 
eighty  years.  This  statement  aeenis  very  incon- 
sistent with  Mr.  Spurrell's  notion  that  the  practice 
hod  been  *'  recently  introduced  from  France  not 
long  prior  to  the  arrival  of  the  Komana."  An 
old  edition  of  Pliny  which  I  possess,  that  of 
Orleans  of  1606,  gives  us  another  reading  for 
''argenturia,"  which  is  that  generally  adopted  aa 
the  adjective  descriptive  of  the  kind  of  chalk  which 
was  used  for  manure — "  argillaria,"  which  would 
mean  the  lower  or  grey  chalk,  which  contains  a 

>  dwU  of  day.    If  this  be  the  true  reading,  we 

I  think,  an  uuwer  to  the  qoestion  which 
m  often  pat^  Tii.,  why,  if  the  chalk  wen 


'  required  for  mannre,  wmi  It  not  dng  from  hiUsidcs^

'  rery  rarely  appcAn  on  tbe  nirfaoe ;  where  it  would 

!  have  done  ao,  as  along  the  line  of  the  North  Downs 

I  in  Kent  and  Surrey,  it  is  probably  hidden  by  x 

tains  of  fragmenu  of  the  upper  or  white  chalk 

which  have  fallen  from  the  hill  above.     To  get  at 

it,  it  would,  therefore,  be  necesnry  to  sink  shafts^ 

Not  long  ago  a  landowner  in  one  of  the  parishes 

In  Kent  which  lie  below  the  North  Downs  wrote 

a  letter  to  the  Tiina  stating  that  many  Dene  holes 

existed  in  his  parieh.    It  would  be  interesting  to 

know  whether  these  holes  reach  the  grey  chalk. 

Unfortunately,  I  did  not  ''  make  a  note  ^  of  hia 

address,  and  can  only  hope  that  he  may  aee  this 

communication  and  give  some  further  porticnlara 

about  the  Dene  holes  in  his  parish.

The  Dene  holes  of  Hangman's  Wood,  Grays, 
which  have  Utely  been  the  scene  of  the  excursions 
of  the  Essex  Field  Club,  were  certainly  not  con- 
structed for  the  purpose  of  procuring  either  chalk 
or  flint.  Both  at  Hangman's  Wood  and  at  Bex- 
ley,  south  of  the  Thames,  there  are  what  may  be 
termed  "pit-villages,"  in  which  scores  of  Dene 
holes  arc  concentrated  in  a  space  of  three  or  four 
acres.  But  in  each  case  this  concentration  of 
Dene  holes  occurs  where  the  chalk  is  covered  by  a 
thickness  of  from  forty  to  sixty  feet  of  Thaoet 
sand  and  old  river  gravel,  though  in  every  instance 
the  caverns  at  the  bottom  of  the  shafts  are  in 
chalk,  and  there  is  a  broad  spread  of  bare  chalk 
at  the  surface  within  the  distance  of  one  mile. 
For  information  on  the  subject  of  Dene  hole^,  I 
would  refer  your  correspondent  to  a  paper  by  Mr. 
F.  C.  J.  Spurrell,  read  in  April,  1671,  before  the 
Royul  Archaeological  Institute,  and  since  pub- 
lished, T.  V,  Holmes. 

An  exhaustive  account  of  the  Dene  holes  of 
Kent  and  Essex,  by  Mr.  F.  C.  J.  Spurrell,  will  be

Now  wbat  says  the   poem   as  to  the  kind  of 
death : — 

"  Blood  mast  be  my  bodies  balmer," 
and 

"  Seeing  my  flesh  mutt  dte  so  soon 
And  want  a  head  to  dine  next  noon." 

He  was,  therefore,  a  state  prisoner  under  sentence 
of  death  by  bebending.  Dr.  Grosart  suggests  also, 
in  his  reprint  of  Diaphantutj  &c.}  that  the  *'goi 
of  glory*'  was  suggested  by  the  gown  worn  bj 
state  prisoners ;  this  does  not  seem  unlikely, 
though,  as  the  imagery  is  wholly  referable  to  thi 
equipment  of  a  palmer,  it  cannot  be  accepted 
certain.     Then  he  goes  on: — 

"  From  thence  to  heaaens  Bribeles  hall 

Where  no  corrupted  voices  brail 

No  Conscience  molten  into  gold 

Kor  forg'd  accusers  bought  and  sold. 

9  •  •  *  « 

For  there  Christ  is  tbe  King's  Attumey." 
And  again :  — 

*'  Be  thou  [Christ]  my  speaker  taintles  pleader 
Vnblotteu  Lawyer,  true  prooecder 
Thou  mouest  saluation  euen  for  almas, 
Not  with  a  bribed  Lawyers  palmos.** 
These  tine.i  show  that  the  writer  was  angry  with 
his  prosecutors,  called  the  witnefises  against  bim 
*'  bribed  and  corrupted,"  and  tbe  "king's  attamey" 
**  bribed  "  aud  the  opposite  of  tbe  *'  pleader  Christ." 
These  things  at  once  recall  Raleigh's  defence  and 
Coke's  iosnlts.  True  Ruteigh  was  nob  executed 
till  IGldj  but,  as  justly  noticed  by  Br.  Hannah, 
he  was  sentenced  to  death  in  1603  and  expect^'d 
it.  Lastly,  not  only  do  these  circuiustanoes  but, 
mso  jiidicio,  the  style  prove  the  poem  to  be 
Raleigh's.  Why  Scoloker  published  it  as  his  it  is 
DOW  impossible  to  say.  Perhaps  he  was  a  friend 
of  Raleigh;  possibly,  though  one  does  not  like  to 
think  so  without  oiher  evidence,  ho  approprinted 
it.  But  the  circumstances  so  evidently  personal 
to  the  writer,  its  style  so  different  from,  and  its 
poetry  and  rhythm  so  superior  iOfDiaphantus,  for- 
bid our  entertaining  the  idea,  even  for  an  instant^ 
that  it  was  Scoloker'a. 

Southey,  from  difference  of  stylo  and  holding 
the  writer  a  Roman  Catholic,  conjectured  that  it 
was  by  Southwell.  With  all  deference  to  so  ex- 
cellent  a  poet  and  critic,  I  confess  my  inability 
accept  these  views.  Southey  did  not  know  mor©' 
than  the  half  of  Raleigh's  now  known  poems,  nod 
bad  read  various  as  his  which  are  not  his.  I  se») 
the  absence  of  all  Roman  Catholicism,  particuhirly 
of  SouthweU's,  In  all  but  the  simile  to  tho  palmer, 
which  certainly  could  have  been  made  by  a  Pro- 
testant courtier  of  those  times.  Nor  are  the  very 
strong  feelings  evinced  in  strong  words  against  his 
prosecutors  in  accord  with  Southwell's  character, 
though  fully  agreeing  with  Raleigh's.

-of  (1  captain  of  Lanouhiro  mitiliii,  was  apprenticed 
to  Tho.  Bewick,  circti  1804,  and  upon  expiry  of  his 
term  removed  to  Liverpool,  where  his  skill  was 
liighly  esteemed  and  warmly  patronized  by  Wm. 
Uoscoe,  Dr.  Shephenl,  McCreery  the  printer,  and 
Mr.  Cupel  Lotfc  Upon  the  death  of  an  uncle,  a 
few  years  after,  he  succeeded  to  a  lar^e  estate  at

NuRAOHES  (6*"  S.  viL  247). — La  Marmora,  in 
Ills  IlitUraire  de  ViU  de  Sardaigntj  Turin,  I860, 
vol.  i  p.  369,  odmits  as  "prob.ible"  the  etymo- 
logy which  derives  the  name  of  the  Noni^fae^t, 
Nurof^hes,  or  Norachi  from  the  word  nur,  iire. 
And  similarly  he  allows  it  for  the  following  place- 
names  in  the  islind,  viz  ,  Nurri,  Nurcci,  NaraltuSr 
Kuraminis,  Nurachi,  La  Nurra,  and  the  town  of 
Nora.  Elsewhere  in  the  course  of  his  work  the 
distinguished  author  refers  to  the  frequent  prox- 
imity of  the  Nurof^hes  to  volcanic  mountains,  a 
fuot  which  Dr.  CnARNocic  has  probably  himself 
noted  in  the  course  of  his  own  Sardinian  travels. 

To  prevent  any  misunderstanding  of  La  Mar- 
xaora's  view!>,  I  should  add  that  the  connexion 
with  fire  which  he  is  williot;  to  admit,  in  the  name 
of  the  Nura^fhes  aa  in  the  above  place-names, 
Arises  from  his  belief  that  the  cultus  of  lire  in  all 
ftrobabtlity  prevailed  in  Sardinia,  and   that   the 


terrace-roofs  of  the  Nuroghes  served  the  purposes 
of  that  worship.  C.  Q.  £.  Uaruicuakl.

Thr  Haios  ok  Bemersyde  (e"'  S.  vii.  102, 
152,  I9i,  231,  275,  297).— Inquirer  says  {antt, 
p.  103)  thut  in  Obadiah  Haig's  family  history  "it 
1%  stated  that  Robert  and  several  of  hia  younger 
brothers  after  their  mother's  second  marriage  went 
*to  the  Bohemian  wars  in  1G30,  and  there  supposed 
to  be  lost.'"  Kow,  what  Obudiah  Haig's  MS.  really 
says  is:  "Andrew  th«  eldat  son  discontentedly  left 
Bemersyde  with  six  of  his  brothers  about  the  year 
1G30,  on  his  mother  marrying  again  Rafter  his 
father's  death)  contrary  to  their  liking,  and 
travelled  to  the  Bohemian  wars,  where  we  tnppos* 
him  lott";  uud  after  each  of  the  other  brothers 
(David  alone  excepted)  are  the  words  "  went  to 
the  Bohemian  wars  and  there  txtpposcd  lost"  Ob- 
serve the  word  "suppose."  Now  in  this  way  only 
did  Anthony  pretend  to  account  for  hia  father 
David  (who  was  the  seventh  son)  becoming  the 
laird,  although  hi  knew  well  how  the  estate  had 
eoma  to  hin.  But  why  did  Inquirer  omit  what 
Obadiah  said  about  "  Andrew  the  eldest  son,**  and 
only  refer  to  "  Robert  and  his  younger  brothera  "  I 
I  have  already  shown  (ante,  p.  276)  that  Anthony 
had  a  distinct  personal  interest  in  misleading 
Obadiah  (he  had  a  bad  title  to  the  estate),  and  I 
hope  that  Inquirer,  who,  I  have  no  doubt,  only 
seeks  to  elicit  the  truth,  will  answer  my  question. 
When  he  does  I  will  show  hiin  how  and  why  Col. 
Arthur  Uaig  was  selected  as  the  representative  of 
the  family  to  carry  on  the  succession  at  Bemersyde, 
just  as  David  Haig  (who  was  not  the  heir  at  law) 
was  selected  in  1636  to  do  the  same  thing.

I  have  examined  mflny  pnrish  reKistprti,  and 
btxve  rarely  found  instances  of  doable  Christian 
names  befnre  the  eighteenth  century.  Many 
^e.irs  ago  I  copied  ont  the  noticeable  entrica  in 
tbe  registers  of  All  Hallows',  Barking,  and  my 
extracts  enjoyed  the  revision  and  correction  of 
(he  late  Col.  Chester.  The  earliest  instanoe  of  a 
middle  name  in  those  registers  bears  the  date  oT 
1696 — in  tbe  regUter  of  baptisms,  Anna  Maria 
Winder ;  there  are  only  two  other  instances  be- 
tween that  date  and  1711,  viz.,  George  Bradford 
Carey  in  1704,  and  William  Henry  Busier 
in  1711.  Eren  down  to  the  end  of  the  last  cen- 
tury double  Christian  names  are  quite  rare. 

J.  AIaskkll. 
Emannel  HoipitaU 

If  by  middle  names  is  meant  any  number  of 
Christian  names  exceeding  one,  it  was  very  un- 
iHual  even  at  the  beginning  of  the  sevcnteoDlh 
century  for  English  folk  to  be  encumbered  by 
them.  This  is  shown  by  Camden's  well-known 
remark  (Remaiiu^  '*  Christian  Names"):  "Two 
Christian  names  are  nire  in  England,  and  I  only 
remember  now  his  Majesty,  who  was  named 
Charles  James,  as  was  the  prince  his  son  Henry 
Frederic,  and  amoni;  private  men  Thomas  Muria 
Wingfield  and  Sir  Thomas  Posthumus  Hobby." 
Camden  notes  likewise  that  of  lute  yeors  siir- 
nomea  had  been  given  for  Christian  names  "  among 
us,  and  nowhere  else  in  Christeudome."

not,  perhaps,  be  unacceptable  to  some  of  the  readers 
of  "  N.  &  Q."  I  fear  it  is  too  trtie  that  llie  hn- 
gtin^e  is  dying  out.  Two  years  a^  I  paid  a  visit 
in  Iho  Isle  of  Man.  I  looked  in  vain  for  any 
Manx  publications  in  the  shop  windows,  or  for 
tiny  HDrt  of  notice  or  inscription  in  that  lungua^^e. 
Not  once  did  I  hear  it  spoken,  even  io  the  rural 
disnicts,  except  a  few  words  now  and  then  at  my 
»peci;d  request.  In  answer  to  my  questions  people 
ustiidty  BtatC'l  that  Ihcy  knew  nothinjj  of  Manx, 
adding  sometimes,  however,  that  their  parents 
epoko  it ;  others  adraoced  in  years  said  thoy  had 
oouipletdly  forgotten  it ;  scarcely  any  one  would 
Admit  that  he  knew  more  than  a  few  words.  There 
can  be  no  doubt  that  the  Manx  people  nre 
thoroughly  ashamed  of  their  language.  They  say, 
andf  of  course,  with  truth,  that  it  is  of  no  use  to 
thorn,  cither  for  advancement  in  life  or  for  the  ac- 
quisition of  the  most  ordinary  information.  Then, 
ftiSain,  they  have  constantly  heard  it  ridiculed  by 
their  Enjjli-ih  visitors.  These  hitler,  for  the  moat 
part  cxcursioni.<itB — holiday  folk  of  the  lower  classes 
from  the  great  manufacturing  towns — are  the  very 
people  to  make  game  of  uny  speech  ih^t  they  may 
find  strange  or  unintelligible.  Consequently  the 
Manx,  who  ne.-xrly  all  speak  English  ffuently,  speak 
nothing  but  Kogliah  when  there  is  any  chance  of 
strangers  overhearing  them,  though  in  certain 
rural  district*  they  still  use  their  own  language 
amongst  themselves.  I  remarked,  however,  that 
those  who  thus,  it  was  said,  habitually  used  Manx 
were  spoken  of  with  contempt  by  the  other  Mnnx 

r'ople  of  their  own  class  who  used  Enpliuh  only. 
heanl  of  but  one  person  who  could  spouk  nothing 
but  ^^anx,  and  that  was  an  aged  woman  of  the 
name  of  Kagan,  or  Caijan  ([  spell  the  nam©  pho- 
netically), who  re.iided  ah  the  picturesque  little 
village  of  Crer^Diah,  near  Port  Erin.  Her  ignor- 
nnceof  English  wiw  considered  so  remarkable  that 
she  was  quite  an  object  of  interest  in  the  neigh- 
bourhood, and  strangers  who  visited  that  part  of 
the  island  usually  made  a  point  of  seeing  her.  I 
was  informed  that  Manx,  thougli  no  longer  used 
In  any  of  the  churches,  was  still  to  be  jjeard  in 
some  few  Disseutiug  chapels  that  are  silaatcd  in 
oortttin  out-of-the-way  plueea,  such,  for  inttance,  as 
Cregncish.  In  these  Manx  ecrmons  nre  occasion- 
ally delivered  ;  hymns  are  sung,  too,  in  the  name 
j*»KUW;  hut  the  prayers  are  tJwajs  said  in  Eng 
lish.    This  is  all  that  is  now  kft  of  the  public  us« 


of  Manx.  The  only  Mj^nx  books  in  oircuhtl 
among  tbe  general  public  are,  I  believe,  Bil 
and  hymn-books,  and  the  former,  which  are  all 
old,  are  usually  much  worn  and  mutilated,  and 
are  rdso  getting  scarce.  The  extinction  of  the 
language  seems  to  bo  imminent.  Can  nothinfv  bn 
done  to  save  it  ?  I  believe  I  am  correct  in  staling 
that  tbe  works  brought  out  by  the  Manx  Societjr 
are  always  published  in  English.  These  ar«  (»r 
circulation  among  subscribers  only.  Thirty 
volumes  have  been  issued  since  1B58,  in  which  year 
the  Society  was  established.  The  last  of  these 
was  published  in  1880.  The  thirty-first,  now 
nearly  ready,  will  be  the  JoitmaU  of  Ihi  Hou^f

In  Tirol  they  have  again  a  different  mode  from 
the  above  to  account  for  the  "weeping"  of  the

yLOOGiMo  AT  TUB  Oart'b  Tail  (6"*  S.  vt.  67, 
157,  294,  338,  477).— It  was  cammon  in  Skipton 
flixty  years  ago,  and  even  later,  for  men  convicted 
of  such  offences  as  sheep  stealing  (very  common 
then)  to  be  flogged  at  the  Cross  and  at  tlie  cirt 
tail.  It  was  customary  for  the  unfortunate  one  to 
ho  dragged  the  whole  length  of  the  main  street 
and  back.  A  nonagenarian  told  mo  once  that  he 
remembered  a  man  being  flagged  in  this  way  at 
Skipton  until  be  bled  "like  u  stuck  sheep."  The 
whipping  of  vagrants  was  a  very  common  punish- 
inent  here.  About  280  years  ago,  I  learn  from 
transcripts  of  the  West  Eidtog  Sessions  Rolls,  the 
magistrates  assembled  In  Quarter  Sessions  ordered 
that  "a  Bedle  shalbe  by  the  constable  of  Skipton 
appointed  for  the  whipping  and  punishing  of  such 
rouges  aud  vagabonds  as  shall  come  into  that 
p'ishe,"  and  that  his  remuneration  should  be 
li,  Gi.  8J.  yearly.  The  infliction  of  this  punish- 
tuent  for  another  offence  is  thus  recorded  in  the 
Accounb-book  of  one  of  the  stewards  of  Skipton 
Custle:— 

"lO^D,  Feb.  S.— Chares  in  haveini;  scTall  hedge

Whipping  was  common  also  in  the  neighbouring 
^^arish  of  KUdwick  during  the  seventeenth  century, 
-and  in  the  parish  register  occur  entries  such  as  the 
following: —

Skipton. 

T  have  a  very  vivid  recollection  of  seeing  a 
public  whipping  in  Stirling  on  Friday  (market 
dny),  Jaly  2,1830.    The  day  was  memonble  in 

the  annals  of  the  royal  burgh,  as  in  the  morning  the 
provost  and  magistrates  were  occupied  in  procUim- 

ing  his    gracious    Mrtjesty  King   William   IV.  as 

the  king  of  these  realms,  and  their  next  duty  was 
<o  SCO  the  sentence  of  the  law  carried  out  against 

Jwo  notable  offenders,  who  bad  been  convicted 
fore  the  Sheriff  Depute  of  Btir]iogshir«   for  aa 


atrocious  assault  on  Nov.  S8.  1830.  The  prisoner! 
were  to  receive  thirty-six  lashes  each,  tied  to  th| 
tail  of  the  cart  ;  the  first  twelve  were  iotlioted  in 
front  of  the  court-houne  in  Broad  Street.  Ttu 
procession  then  moved  through  u  great  crowd  o 
people  to  the  middle  of  Baker  Street,  whore  (hi 
second  twelve  were  duly  admintfltered  ;  thence  U 
the  head  of  King  Street,  which  completed  thi 
closing  scene.  Such  an  exhibition  had  not  takei 
place  in  Stirling  for  many  ycurs  preceding,  aud  tu 
such  punishment  has  since  disgi-uoed  the  local  hi» 
tory.  J.  G. 

One  of  the  most  recent  instances  of  a  peno] 
being  flogged  at  the  cart's  tail  is  reported  with  fa) 
details  by  Mr.   Chesterton,  in  his    fUvtlations  q 
Pruon  Life  (second  ed.,  p.  135),     The  author  w 
at   the   time    the   Governor  of   Ooldbath    Fiel 
prison,  and  had  to  superintend  the  arrangemen 
for  the  punishment  being  properly  inflicted.     Th 
took  place  in  the  year  1S3U  or  1831.     The  Liw  d 
whipping  women  was  repealed  in  1820  (I  Geo.  I 
cap.  67).     A  late  example  of  a  female  being 
punished  is  related  in  "N.  &  Q.,"  S"-*  S.  iv.  9'

It  if  singular  that  uniil  tbo  jtresent  time  no  indc* 
pCT^dent  life  of  Rapbiel  by  an  £ugli«h  author  ba«  ap- 
peared. The  rolumes  by  Kicbari  Luppa  are  otily  tlimiy 
compilationi.  But  it  iii  itill  more  remarkable  that  the 
admirable  life  wtitten  in  German  by  J.  D.  PaBBarant  baa 
never  api>eared  in  an  Kn^li*b  drcM.  It  did,  bowerer, 
lead  to  ihe  production  of  an  excellent  liloniry  and  bio- 
giaphic:il  cBisy  upon  K&[ihacl  and  hia  w>Tk8  in  tbe 
form  of  an  ariicte  on  the  Ucrman  life  printed  in  the 

guurfcWy  littitw.  It  vra!)  written  in  164(f  by  Sir  Cbarlei 
attlake,  and  may  fairly  beiaid  to  comprise  in  a  succinct 
and  b^rceable  form  all  that  woj  nt  that  time  known  of 
tbe  tircftC  painter.  This  es'ay  suppltcs  additional 
infc-nnati*  n  and  tbe  correction  uf  inadvertences  into 
which  i'assarant  seems  to  hare  fallen.  'I'be-e  t^n 
writers  and  Mr.  Jamc«  Drnnistoun,  in  bis  learned 
luemoirs  of  tbe  Dukes  of  Trbino,  have  fairly  antici|<ated 
all  tbe  personal  facts  relating  to  Raphael  and  tbe  timea 
be  lived  in.  more  cspecinlly  with  re>;nrd  to  tbe  Palace  of 
L'rbino  and  the  petty  feuds  and  squabhtei  of  Italian 
cbtefUiuf,  which  have  been  narrated  by  Muntx  arid  tbe 
authors  now  under  consideration, 

Mcasre.  Crowe  and  CaralcascUe  unneccisarlly  prolong 
their  personal  account  of  the  great  painter  by  the  intro- 
duction of  cor  j<-ct>iral  matter,  which  is  always  stat<'d, 
with  fiiU'.h  NitiK  t',  in  tbe  form  of  "he  may  "cr"  lie 
might ' '  have  done  fio,  with  an  occasional "  perhaps."  But 
this  mode  uf  conveying  suggestions, although  plausihk-,ts 
not  a  form  that  carries  conviction  with  it.  We  fin:l  also, 
to  take  onein«tance,  a  conjecture  readily  converted  into  a 
fact  Thus,  at  p.  bOltlssra'cdtbat  lhel>ukeai.d  Mnchus^ 
«f  Urbiao  weulU  "probably"  grant  the  young  Rikpbael 


aee«M  to  tbe  room«  of  tbe  palace  to  copy  tbe  portraits  of 
the  dortors  and  pbilosopbers,  whilst  nt  p.  61  we  find  tbe 
following:  "We  bave  not  forgotten  how  Bapbael  bad 
been  illowed  to  copy  the  itges  in  the  ducal  palace.'* 
Each  Holy  Family  by  Raphael  has  now  become  popularly 
known  by  a  fixed  name,  derived  either  from  some  in- 
cident in  tbe  picture  or  from  ttie  name  of  tbe  posvessor. 
On  these  points  our  authors  do  not  adopt  a  uniformity 
of  system.  "La  Belle  Jardiniit>re  "  of  the  Louvre  thev 
choose  to  spell  in  tbe  Italian  fashion,  "Bella  GianJinierji,*'^ 
which  at  tbe  beading  of  the  page  is  not  »o  easy  to 
ri'cognite  Some  are  in  English,  bb  "Madonna  r>f' tbo 
Pitim  "  and  "tbe  Bridgewatcr  .Madonna"  (pp.  2.'!7  and 
315),  whilst  tbe  Florentine  picture  is  i.ty1ed  "dclGar- 
deliino."  The  lovely  Madonna  in  tbe  gallery  at  Vlennn, 
generally  known  as  the  "  Virgin  in  the  Meadow,"  and  in 
German  as  "  im  Griincn,"  they  designate,  nttbougli  ber 
drcfs  is  red  and  her  mantle  blue,  "  msdonna  in  prccD.** 
That  which  we  ordinarily  term  an  Adoration  of  Iho 
Kings  or  the  Ms^  is  persistently  termed  "an  Epi- 
phany." An  ovf^ntight  in  the  description  of  tbe  picturfr^

for  future  correction,  wherein  tbe  female  taking  Qlgbt  la 
described  as  "  the  Queen  "  Instead  of  the  Princess  Cleo- 
dolinda,  according  to  the  well-known  legend. 

Tbe  frequently  referred  to  leaves  of  a  sketch-book 

preserved  in  the  Academy  of  Venice  are  unbeiitatiutfly 

accepted    by   Mc.<«ra.   Crowe    and   Cnvalcaielle  as   tUo 

work   of  Rjiphael's   own   liand,   bairing  a  few   pHgei» 

"  where  he  ntloned  a   frivml  to    trespass."    which    la 

regarded  as  "  but  one  more  proof  of  his  amiable  dispo* 

silii>n  "  (pp.  51-2).    T^at  these  drawings  or  studies  in. 

tite  Venetian  skcteb-book  are  by  n  highly  gifted  arliat 

of  Die  end  of  the  fiftcentli  century   there  can  be   ni> 

duubt ;  but  it  is  far  fruniconclueive  that  they  are  actually 

by   Rnpbarl.      Many   hiybly   experienced  judfcci    have 

ftssigiicd  them   to    Pinturiccbio   and    to  Timoteo   VitU 

Tbo  latter,  indeed,  fourteen  years  older  than   Raphael, 

had  been  a  pupil  of  Krancia  at  Bologna,  and   huving 

attninrd  rnneiderfible  facility  returned  to  his  native  city. 

t' rhino,  in  1495,  when  Raphael  wa^  twelve  years  old.    llo 

is  considered,  next  to  \\\*  falber,  Giovanni  Fantt,  to  bare 

exercised  the  earliest  iiUuence  on  the  artistic  studies  of 

the  youthful  Raphael,  being  at  that  time   more  than 

double  his  age.     Otic  of  the  most  intcrcfting  portions  of 

this  new  life  of  Rapbnel  is  tbe  account  of  ibe  progri.se  of 

tbe  faniou^  Borgbese  "  Entombment,"  bceun  by  desire  of 

Ata'anta  Ba^Uoni  in  coniroernornti'n  of  a  •e\ere  Timily 

afflictl>n.    It  was  computed  in  1207.    Tbe  numerouf 

original  rlrawint;s,  wlien  placed  in  duo  relation  t'>  each 

other,  reveal  tliat  the  first  thought  took  tbe  form  of  a 

'■PictiL,"  namely,  the  dead  body  of  nnr  Lord  mourned 

by  the  Maries  anddisctplca,and  that  it  Kniduallyraergeil 

into  an  "Entombment,"  wherein  the  body  of  Christ  is 

bring  carried  to  the  Sfpulcbre,  with  the  Virgin  fallius 

hack  in  a  swuon  into  the  arms  of  her  attendants.     All 

the  various  drawinKS,  cited  in  rapid  Foccefision  as  they 

bear  upon  tbe  subject,  produce,  in  default  uf  pictorial 

repn  diiction,  a  painful  feclirg  of  entanglement ;  but  to 

iho-e  who  chance  to  possess  tbe  means  of  making  good 

the  deficiencies,  the  reiull  is  highly  Instructive.    Mestrs. 

Crowe  and  Caviilcaselle  have  a  special  faculty  in  [oint* 

ing  out  paratk-U  in  the  attitude  or  motives  of  figures  and 

in  drawing  analogies.      It  is  to  be  hoped  that  a  special 

atlas  or  collection  of  facsimiles,  as  adopted  in  the  er:j;lnnt 

life   of  Raphael    by    Posiavant,    mny    be   forlhcominp. 

Almost  every  original  drawing  has  been  reproduced  by 

ibo  art  of  photography;  but  they  arc  widtly  diss- mi 

noted,  and  could  only  be  brought  together  with  ntucU 

trouble  and  expense.    A  combination  of  this  kind  daiBi 

fie  1  br  n  ma«ter  mind  would  indeed  be  a  great  boon

A.  H.  CbarteriB,  V,V.  (Nisbet  k  Co.) 
'Wk  bad  occa«ioii  to  notice,  lome  time  ago,  the  pre- 
Tioiu  work  on  CanoHidty  by  Prof.  Charieris,  and  the 
excellent  arranKcmcnt  of  the  ftuthoritiea  which  were 
adduced ;  wo  h&ve  now  not  onlj  an  able  gummarjr  of  the 
multt  which  were  th«n  Attained,  but  a  further  cnn- 
Bideration  of  the  princi|>1cfl  of  th«  fonaation  of  the 
canon,  and  tbe  claims  of  the  iscred  tKxikg  from  their 
contents,  wiib  a  view  to  a  more  popular  trcAtment  of 
the  aubject.  While  the  demands  of  Ilt-ly  Scripture, 
depending  ui>on  iti  truth,  unity,  and  tutJiority^  are 
iniiited  upon,  there  ii  a  careful  aroidaoce  of  udv.uicing 
any  theory  of  inspiration  ;  nor  ii  there  any  attempt  lo 
define  the  limita  of  the  divine  and  hunun  elements 
wlitch  coexiMt,  and  wliicli  are  rightly  deemed  intepar- 
able.  The  marvcIlouB,  the  providential  preierv&tton  of 
the  several  writtngi  in  the  canon,  without  any  promlre 
«riuch  Kcurlty  from  loss.  i<  pointed  out;  nndthepUn 
cf  the  present  work  admitting  of  such  tnveetigation,  it  ii 
»hown  tlukt  tlio  religious  progress,  which  is  traceable  in 
their  lonsthcncd  series,  is  attributable  to  divine  revela- 
tion, and  not  to  human  development.  The  early  forma- 
tion of  the  canon  of  Scripture,  with  its  ovtdeuco,  is  tbt-n 
ditcnused  and  the  notice  carrird  on  into  Inter  limes.  In 
following  the  course  of  tliid  in(|uiry  it  will  be  seen  that 
full  consideration  is  given  lo  (he  investigations  of 
others  upon  the  pamo  subject;  and  that  this  admits  of 
n  discu^eion  of  the  Tiibingcn  theory  originated  by 
B«ucr,  of  the  statement  of  Prof.  Max  ^lUUer  aa  to  the 
claim  to  a  revelation  and  authority  advanced  hy  the 
founders  of  other  religioi'S  thnn  the  Chriitinn,  whioh  is 
disallowed,  of  the  present  state  of  the  "  Onoitic 
Romance"  In  the  Vi'mnttiua.  the  newly  completed 
t»t  of  tbe  EpitiUoi  OenienC  of  Rome,  the  Co  in  men  (a  r  if

as  difcoiecd  by  Bifhop  LiKhtfoot,  nnd  other  ouljt^cts  of 
interest.  But  we  mits  a  notice  of  the  EjiitiU  ro  Diog- 
iwfiH.  In  reviewing  the  theoret  respecting  the  canon 
Prof.  Chsrterii  does  Kant  justice  to  the  ''  Anglican 
Artiolei"  when  he  says  that  the  conclusion  in  iheni 
*'re*t«  upon  do  principle,  and  is  merely  an  aoccptance  of 
recent  and  limited  tradition  " ;  while  the  Artictea  them- 
telves  r^for  to  the  Church  as"  the  witness  and  keeper  of 
H«ly  Writ,"  and  make  the  t<?st  of  th*'  canon  to  be  in 
its  contents  being  such,  respecting  which  there  "has 
never  been  any  doubt  in  the  Church."  Nor  do  we  think 
Ma  own  theory  of  combined  ohjeeliTC  and  subjective 
reasons  for  accepting  the  canon  sufficient,  however  con- 
limiatorr  it  may  be  to  those  who  have  rrccived  it :  but  we 
liiivo  not  space  to  diM;u<B  it.  Our  aiitiiiuarinn  rtaderB  will

"POOR  ROBIN." 
Kngaf^ed  npon  the  congenial  taak  of  garnering 
TiiTktermU  for  an  exhaustive  history  of  S:iirron 
Walden,  one  of  the  earliest  aettlementa,  a^  well 
na  one  of  tbe  earliest  market  towns,  of  E<u«t, 
tbe  writer  could  not  f^ill  to  be  both  amused  and 
astonUbed  at  th  e  continned  ij^orance  of  the 
literary  world  as  to  the  identity  of  tbe  celebrated 
"Poor  Robin"  of  tho  last  two  centuries  with 
Ivobert  Winatanly  of  Walden.  lie  was  bom  in 
this  town  in  IG-IG,  being  neit  younger  brother  to 
Another  celebrity,  Henry  Winatanly  ([  write  the 
name  in  the  original  form,  the  c  being  a.  modern 
interpolation),  the  projector  and  clever  founder  of 
tbe  Eddystone  Lighthouse,  who  anfortanately 
perished  in  his  second  construction  of  it.  The 
Rtatetuent  of  this  identity  is  clearly  given  by  Lord 
Braybrooke  in  bia  History  of  AudUtj  Knd  and 
Saffron  Waldtn;  still  the  faot  remaiaa  all  but 
unknown.  Even  in  the  official  mind  of  the  library 
authorities  at  the  British  Museum  it  has  remained 
unrecogniiied,  as  is  evident  by  its  new  MS.  caia- 
logne,  where  all  the  works  known  (there)  to  be  tbe 
production  of  "Poor  Uohin"  are  fathered  upon 
"the  barber-poet,  William  Winatanly/'  partly,  we 
are  given  to  understand,  from  a  fancied  rcsem- 
4il&Q0«  in  style,  p^trtly  through  th«  eziattnce  of  a 


certain  portrait  of  the  latter,  which,  mistakenly,  has 
been  inscribed  by  the  publisher  "  Poor  Robin." 
The  London  booksellers,  a  shrewd  and  keenly 
interested  class,  being  "  all  at  sea  "  in  the  matter, 
were  content  to  follow  suit  with  the  Museum 
authorities.  It  would  be  hard  to  say  bow  many 
literary  men  during  the  past  century  have  vainly 
conjectured  who  Poor  Robin  was.  Abortive 
inquiries  at  intervuh  were  made  of  "Sylvanna 
Urban,  Gent,"  but  this  onicle  remained  mute, 
and  at  least  one  appeal  in  the  earliest  volume 
of  "  N.  &  Q."  remained  unanswered.  And  yet, 
strange  to  say,  there  waa  not  the  slighteat  r«aB<Mk 
for  any  mystery  to  arise  on  the  subject.  Akbouf{h 
one  or  mote  instances  occurred  of  Robert  Win- 
Stanly's  withdrawing  his  popular  pseudonym  from 
a  serial,  probably  for  politic  purpoaes,  ha  gener- 
ally printed  it  on  bia  title-pages,  whether  of  serials 
or  single  works.  How  his  nom  de  pluvu  came  to 
supplant  bis  own  name  so  completely  as  appears 
must  remain,  I  fear,  matter  of  conjecture.  Cer- 
tainly be  baa  not,  until  very  recent  times,  had  any 
credit  given  for  his  numerous  and  varied  comp>oKi- 
tions.  But  it  is  not  to  the  Lord  Braybrooke  I 
have  mentioned,  but  to  s  native  of  the  parish  of 
Wnlden,  that  we  owe  this  tardy  recognition  of  » 
writer  whose  original  and  very  humorous  workft 
were  for  a  lengthened  period  tho  amusement  and 
delight  of  thousands,  especially  of  those  in  tho 
lower  walks  of  life,  for  whom,  iudeed,  not  only  his 
various  almanacs  but  many  of  bis  single  works 
were  especially  written. 

To  a  worthy  Fellow  of  the  Society  of  Anti- 
quaries, Mr,  Joseph  Clarke,  of  the  Rooe,  Saflfroa 
Walden,  all  credit  appertains  for  identifying 
Robert  Winstanly  and  Poor  Robin  as  repre- 
senting one  and  the  same  individual,  a  diacorory 
which  became  confirmed  upon  examimitlou  of 
every  work  of  our  author  which  Mr.  Clarke  could 
lay  hands  opon  ;  for  although  upon  publication 
large  issnes  were  sold  both  in  London  and  in  the 
country — more  especially  of  the  almanacs — all  are 
rare,  and  tho  almaaacs  tbemsclvca  very  seldom 
occur,  save  as  items  of  tbe  set  yearly  selected 
by  different  compilers  and  baudsoraely  bound 
for  sale  to  the  upper  classes  by  the  Company  of 
Stationers.  Since  the  attention  of  the  writer  has 
been  directed  Co  this  subject,  a  naturally  growing 
keenness  and  inC;ercat  in  its  ramifications  have 
been  crowned  with  remarkable  and  nnczpeoted. 
suocesa  in  the  discovery,  in  various  ways,  of  uearly 
twenty  remarkable  productions,  most  of  which  are 
certainly  the  work  of  Winstanly,  the  few  others 
bearing  such  internal  evidence  of  similar  incoptioa 
that  the  writer  has  no  hesitation  in  the  attribu- 
tion, and  serenely  accepts  the  responsibility.  As 
other  readers  of  "  N.  &  Q."  may  poesibly  be  able 
to  add  to  it,  the  list  is  subjoined,  giving  the  main.

Hioald  be  gireo  to  me  to  relate  a  visit  of  the  dead 
to  tfae  IiTiDg.     la  1S71  I  wiib  lit  Naplea,  whea  an 
Italian    corvette,    the    Amlrole    Caroociolo,    was 
^^AttQched  at  C.-istellumiire.     The  veaael  was  chris- 
ed    by  the    Countess  Teresa    Caracciolo,   the 
lighter  of  the  chief  of  the  elder  branch  of  the 
ioli.     I  was  staytnf^  at  Naples  as  the  ((uest 
of  the  young  lady's  father,  and  I  heard  from  bini 
■  very  remarkable  story  connected  with  the  death 
•of    tbe   unfortuHAle   officer  in   bononr  of  whose 
ntemory  the  vessel  was  named.    The  circumstaacea 
which  led  to  the  execution  of  Prince  Fmncesco 
Caracciolo  in  1799  are  well  known.    I  shall  merely 
■tate,  therefore,  that  he  was  condemned  by  a  court- 
martial  composed  of  Sicilian  oflicers  to  be  handed 
at  the  yard-arm  of  the  Hag-ship  for  bearinfr  arras 
against  his  lawful  sovereign.     When  tbe  official 
oommnnication  of  the  finding  and  sentence  of  the 
«ourt  was  brought  to  the  prince,  he  was  explaining 
the  names  and  uses  of  the  various  ports  of  the  ri^^ing 
to  aomo  Toune  Neapolitan  noblemen  who  happened 
Mo  be  on  ooard  the  ship.    A  glance  at  tbe  letter  was 
Bbflicient  to  show  him  its  coolentfl.     He  showed 
Tio  sign  of  emotion,  but  requested  the  officer  who 
brought  the  despatch  to  wait  for  a  few  mioutes 
while  he  finished  his  explanations.      This  being 
■done,  he  retired  to  his  cabin  ;  and  after  a  Tain 
^ttempt  to  get  the  sentence  changed  to  a  more 
BoDourable  manner  of  death,  ho  reaigned  himself 
B>  his  fute,  which  be  mcb  with  great  fortitude. 
■  Some  days  after  the  event  tbe  king,  who  hod 
Been  for  an  afternoon's  cruise  on  a  Sicilian  ship  of 
war  outside  the  bay,  was  returning  to  Naples  in 
4be  evening.     It  was  a  moonlight  night,  and  the 
■ka  was  perfectly  calm.      There  was,  indeed,  so 
■tile  wind  that  it  was  diflicuU  to  steer  the  vessel. 
The  king  was  sitting  in  the  balcony  of  the  stern 
cabin,  watching  the  sea,  wh(*n  suddenly  be  became 
aware  that  something  was  following  the  ship.     As 
tbe  object  came  nearer,  it  was  easy  to  distinguish 
at  it  was  the  body  of  a  man  in  un  upright  atll- 
de,  as  if  treadiog  water;  and  very  soon  tbe  king 
able   to   recognize   the   features  of  Admiral 
racciolo.     His  eyes  were  open  and  seemed  to 
fixed  on  the  king,  and,  except  for  its  ghantly 
or,  the  face  was  unchanf^cd.     The  explanation 
simple.    After  being  submerged  for  some  days 
the  body  had  become  so  buoyant  that  the  weights 
attached  to  tbe  feet  were  not  sufficiently  heavy  to 
keep  it  under  water ;  but  they  retained  it  in  an 
upright  position,  and  it  was  drawn  along  by  tbe 
current  created  by  the  nioTement  of  the  ship.     It 
is  cosy  to  imagine  the  horror  of  Ferdinand  at  what 
he  believed  to  be  an  apparition  from  another  world. 
When  Ht  length  it  was  explained  to  him  what  had 
bappened,  he  gave  orders  that  a  boat  should  be 
lowered  and  that  tbe  corpse  should  be  brought  on 
board  and  taken  to  Naples  for  Christian  burial. 
But  the  supentitious  Sicilians  dared  not  obey  tbe 
yat  command,  and  the  ship,  dravring  in  its  wuke 


the  upright  body  of  the  admiral,  sailed  slowly  into 
the  Bay  of  Naples.  Hero  a  boat's  crew  was  ob- 
tained from  an  English  man-of-war,  who  took  th« 
admiral's  body  ashore,  where  it  was  deposited  in 
his  own  palace,  and  at  leogth  received  the  Uat 
rites  of  the  Church. 

A  different  version  of  tfae  story  is  given  ia 
Southey's  Lift  of  Ntlion.  I  have  here  related 
the  trodicioaal  account  preserved  in  the  family  of 
the  odmirul  exactly  as  it  was  told  me  by  its  chief. 
I  may  mention  that,  a  few  days  ago,  in  discussing 
tbe  affair  with  au  Italian  gentleman  holding  on 
official  position  in  London,  he  assared  me  that  ha 
had  always  heard  the  legend  told  as  I  have  given

THE  LONGSTOXB:   A  COBNlSQ  LEGEND. 

In  the  parish  of  St.  Mabyn,  in  Ksut  Cornwall, 
and  on  the  high  road  from  Bodmin  to  Camelford, 
is  a  group  of  booses  (one  of  them  yet  a  smith's 
shop)  known  by  the  name  of  Longstone.  The 
ourioaa  trtTeller  pasaing  by  inquires  the  raisof\ 
d\'t}'6  of  BUch  a  name,  for  there  is  no  tall  monolith, 
such  as  are  not  uncommon  in  Cornwall,  to  be  b« 
near  it.  Let  the  reason  be  here  fixed  on  the  paffot^ 
of"N.5cQ." 

In  lack  of  records,  I  may  t&y  "  in  the  days  of 
King  Arthur  there  lived  in  Cornwall "  a  smith. 
This  smith  was  a  keen  fellow,  who  made  and 
mended  the  ploughs  and  harrows,  shod  the  horaea 
of  bis  neighbours,  and  wan  generally  serviceable. 
He  bad  also  great  skill  in  farriery  and  in  the 
general  management  and  cure  of  sick  cattle.  He 
could  also  extract  the  stubbomest  tooth,  even  if 
the  jaw  resisted  and  some  gyrations  around  the 
anvil  were  required. 

There  seems  ever  to  have  been  111  blood  between 
devil  and  smith,  i<*U  Dunstan  and  others,  and  so 
it  was  between  tbe  fiend  and  the  smith-farrier- 
dentist  of  St  Maby  a.  At  aigbt  there  were  raaoy  and 
fierce  disputes  between  them  in  the  smithy.  The 
smith,  OS  the  rustics  tell,  always  got  the  advan- 
tage of  his  adversary,  and  gave  him  better  thoa 
he  brought.  This  success,  however,  only  fretted 
old  Nick  and  spurred  him  on  to  further  encounter. 
What  tbe  exact  matter  of  controversy  on  thia 
particular  occasion  wm  is  not  remember<}d,  but  it 
was  agreed  to  settle  it  by  some  wager,  some  trial 
of  strength  and  skill  A  two-acre  field  was  near, 
and  the  smith  challenged  the  devil  to  the  reap- 
ing of  each  his  acre  in  the  shortest  time.  The 
match  came  off,  and  the  devil  woe  beaten  ;  for  the 
smith  had  beforehand  stealthily  stuck  hero  and 
there  over  his  opponent*!  acre  some  harrow  tines 
or  teeth. 

The  two  started  well,  but  soon  the  strong  swing 
of  the  fiend'd  scythe  was  being  brought  ap  fre« 
queally  by  some  obstruction,  and  as  frequently

nqu^.ed  the  whetstoDP.  The  dexteroiu  and  agile 
uaith  weot  on  smoothly  with  his  acre,  aod  was 
soon  unmistakably  f^aining.  The  deril,  enraged 
at  bis  certain  discomfiture,  hurled  hU  whetstone 
at  bis  riT&l,  and  flew  off.  The  wbetetoDO,  thrown 
with  great  TioleDce,  after  sundry  whirls  in  the  air. 
fell  upright  into  the  soil  to  a  (ireat  depth,  and  there 
remained  a  witness  against  the  evil  oae  forages. 
The  devil  avoided  the  neighbourhood  while  it  stood. 
In  an  evil  hour  the  farmer  at  Treblothick  near 
set  hia  heart  upon  the  Loogstone,  for  there  were 
catc-posts  and  door-posta  to  be  had  out  of  it,  and 
he  threw  it  down.  That  night  the  enemy  returned, 
and  has  haunted  the  neighbourhood  ever  since. 

The  destroyer  of  this  fine  monolith  is  a  near 
neighbour  of  mine,  who,  showing  no  compunction, 
telU  me  that  its  overthrow  waa  about  thirty  years 
ago.  It  was  of  granite,  and  consequently  brought 
hither  from  a  distance,  for  the  local  stone  is  a 
friable  slate.  It  yielded  four  large  gate-posts,  gave 
epana  to  a  small  bridge,  and  left  much  granite  re- 
maiaing.  Pillars  such  as  this,  sometimes,  perhaps, 
memoriftls  of  great  events,  at  other  times  tomb- 
atones  of  chieb  or  important  personages,  are  com- 
mon on  the  unreclaimed  moors  of  Cornwall,  aa 
in  other  Celtic  countries.  Mr.  Borlase,  M.P., 
F.S.A.,  in  his  Ncrnia  Comtihia^  has  recorded  the 
results  of  his  exploration  of  the  soil  round  several 
of  the  Cornish  menhirs,  and  found  traces  of 
pottery,  charred  wood,  and  burnt  human  bones. 
Near  to  the  Trosvenneck  pillar  was  found  a  very 
large  and  perfect  sepulchral  urn.  Unfortunately 
no  intelligent  observer  was  near  to  witness  the 
act  of  vnudalism,  so  that  there  is  no  record  of 
what  was  under  or  on  this  long<itone.  There  are 
Bomano- British  insoriptiona  on  many  In  the  neigh- 
bourhood. 

I  fancy  I  can  see  in  this  country  story,  through 
all  its  modern  incruatations,  some  traces  of  an 
ancient  mythology.  Though  St.  Mabyn  is  gener- 
ally a  gentle  undulatory  country,  with  woods, 
and  arable  and  pa.stora1  hills  and  valleys,  near  the 
Longstone  flows  the  Camel  liver,  and  on  the 
opposite  bank  is  the  parish  of  St,  Breward,  with 
its  wild  unhedged  moorland,  its  bosses  of  plutonio 
rock,  ridged  at  top  with  masses  of  denuded  blocks, 
piled  at  times  as  if  by  Titanic  hands,  or  scattered 
in  ihe  most  frantic  confusion.  Here  are  fissures 
and  caves  suohaa  the  Teutonic  hill-men  delighted 
to  haunt.  Can  the  smith  have  been  originally  a 
spirit  of  the  Daergar  type,  and  the  devil  one  of 
the  Nikkar  genus  /  T.  Q.  Ooucn.

Anderson,  lioyal  Qentalo<f%e*^  mentions  Lewis  I 
a  SOD  of  Charles  and  Agnes,  cfiUs  hiui  LandgTST0< 
Thuringia,  and  makes  him  founder  of  the  line,  bfl 
does  not  mention  Charles.  He  says  the  Empsrd 
Conrad  the  Salic  created  this  Lewis  (who  WH 
called  Barbatus)  in  1031)  Landgrave  of  Thurlngil 
in  which  dignity  he  was  succeeded  by  bis  mali 
descendants.  Betham  agrees  with  Anderson.  0a 
ner,  in  his  Gentalogischc  TaheUeHi  which,  Cariyl 
says,  is  a  book  of  rare  exoellenoe  of  ita  kind,  ala 
makes  Ludovicus  Barbatus,  the  first  Landgrave 
Thuriogi.t,  to  be  the  son  of  Charles,  Duke  of 
ralne.  He  makes  no  mention  of  the  other 
Charles, 

This  descent  of  Lewis  Barbatus  from  C 
Duke  of  Lorraine,  is,  however,  entirely  knoc 
tho   head   in   VArt  ds    Virifier  la   Dattt^ 
vol.  xiv.  of  that  work,  p.  78,  it  is  said ; —

barony  io  Douglos's  Peerage  (L  370)  that  the  buc- 
cession  ia  limited  to  Ann  male,  Douglns's  state-

appear  that  the  barony  is  extinct,  since  no  claimant

themsclvea  not  to  mention  anything  against  the  Pn 

tcctor.     This  Oath  1  was  unwilling  to  take,  and 1 

I  had  heard  divers  arguments  for  taking  the  Otitit, 
my  doubts  not  being  fully  ratisiled  by  then.   1  ' 

hitherto  abstained I  went  in,  and  the  Hooie 

prayers,  I  stood  amongst  the  rest  of  the  Mem 
they  were  ended,  and  then  went  up  to  the  8p« 
Chamber,  where,  and  in  the  gallery,  I  sat  with  as 

priracy  as  I  could Within  a  day  or  two  a  Member  I 

formed  me  of  an  Intention  in  some  to  complftin  to  th 
House  tgainst  me  for  fitting  amongst  them  \* 
qualification  of  the  Oath.     Tu  which  I  answ 
was  no  ni'-'rc  than  I  expected.  And  according) 

Members the  same  day  pressed  to  be  hc!i

of  the  thirteenth  to  the  commencement  of  the 
eighteenth  century,  most  of  the  V.ichells  of  that

DoMBSDAT  Book. — Will  any  reader  oblige  me 
with  information  on  the  following  point;*? — 

1.  What  trees  are  mentioned  specially  ijl 
Domesday  Book?  Murray's  Hundbook  states  that 
an  oak  is  noticed  in  Ddme.<iday  Book  as  standing 
at  Berkeley. 

2.  What  parks  are  mentioned  in  Domesday 
Book  i  Knight's  Penny  Cyclopcedla  states  tbut 
tbe  Conqueror  possessed  68  forests,  13  chaces,  and 
781  parks.  I  should  be  thankful  to  have  n  few  of 
these  specified  as  mentioned  in  Domesday  Book. 

3.  What  is  the  meaning  of  "  Radchenistres 
hertes"?  These  two  words  occur  together  re- 
peatedly. R.  Gee,  D.D.

EN<Jt.ifln  Kings  named  Edward. — Why  is  it 
that  we  English  hare  so  far  knocked  under  to  th& 
Norman  as  to  ignore  tho  scries  of  our  early  king:^, 
and  reckon  our  great  line  of  Edwards  from  1272 
instead  of  from  001  ?  On  this  let  me  quote  Mr. 
Freeman's  very  just  observations  from  hia  paper 
on  "  The  Place  of  Carlisle  in  English  History  "  in 
the  Conleviporary  Beritio  for  September,  1892, 
read  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Archicological 
Institute  .it  Carlidle,  Aagust  1,  1892,  ut  the  epen- 
ing  of  the  Historical  Section  : — 

"  NVIille  Xlull  may  bnut  herself  as  the  creation  of

Edward  IV.,  fourth  among  the  kings  of  tho  English, 
third  cimon^  the  emperors  of  Britain." 

Thi<4  misreckoniog  seems  the  more  extraordinary 
as  each  of  the  early  Edwards  was  distinguished  by 
some  special  title — Edw.ord  the  Elder,  Edward  the 
M.irtyr.  and  Edward  the  Confessor.  I  prosame 
that  Ej^berht  is  reckoned  the  first  emperor,  and 
Eiiward  the  Elder  the  second,  "as  the  kings  of 
Wales,  those  of  Northumbria,  the  kings  also  of 
Scotland  and  Strathclyde,  acknowledged  King 
Edward  as  their  father  and  lord,  and  concluded  a 
firm  alliance  with  him  "  (Lappenberg,  Anglo-Saxon

Envelope  Sionatures. — It  is  a  practice  noi 
foe  the  writer  of  a  letter  to  phice  his  name  a 
initials  at  the  left-hand  corner  of  the  envelop! 
below  the  address.  I  have  heard  that  former!; 
this  practice  was  restricted  to  members  of  tk 
Privy  Council.  I  should  be  glad  to  know  if  then 
is  any  etiquette  in  the  matter,  and,  if  so,  what  I 
is.  Formerly  Members  of  Parliament  used  fa 
frank  letters  in  this  way,  and  the  reason  wu 
obvious ;  but  now  that  franking  has  ceased  thi 
practice  prevails  pretty  generally.  At  the  Bar  3 
is  universal  for  Queen's  Counsel  to  sign  with  thcii

"  The  above  is  a  piece  of  the  old  lining,  and  the  figoKS

there  can  be  little  doubt  that  this  is  one  of  the  pietsni 
he  purchased  in  Spain,  but  which  were  not  exhibited  it 
the  Louvre,  perhaps  because  there  was  no  frame  for  tt; 
for  when  X  bought  it  it  was  in  an  old  beading  which  bai 
been  screwed  through,  and  apparently  in  the  state  is 
which  it  arrived  in  France.  No.  2G1  in  the  Loant

Ancona. — The  term  "ancona,"  applied  to  those 
grouped  altarpieces  which  are  formed  of  pictures 
ranged  side  by  side  and  in  tiers,  is  in  frequent 
use,  but  the  derivation  of  the  word  seems  to  ho 
obscure.  I  have  consulted  many  dictionaries,  ea- 
cyclopBcdias,  and  books  on  art,  but  have  failed  to 
find  the  renson  for  the  use  of  the  word.  It  is

TUB  FESTIVAL  OF  THE  POPE'S  CHAIK. 
(C**  S.  TJL  47,  T2,  90,  110, 151,  210,  249.) 
I  am  quite  tit  a  loss  to  know  to  what  lines  of 
iiiy  reply  Mr.  Nksbitt  refers  when  he  charges 
me  with  iotrcducing  "  personalities";  it  is  a  fault 
of  which  I  had  thought  myself  as  incapable  as  of  his 
other  charge  of  "  inaccuracy,"  and  as  I  am  certain 
I  am  of  that  of  "  mi»quotiDC."  If  Z  hare  said 
anything  which  can  be  deemed  a  "  personality,"  I 
readily  apoloKize  for  it.  The  "  misquoting"  and  the 
"  inaccuracy  "  I  can  disprove  in  a  few  lines.  1.  The 
line  which  Mr.  Nksditt  says  I  "misquoted  from  his 
Memoir  "  was  not  taken  thence,  but  from  his  reply, 
and  it  will  be  fonnd  there  word  for  word,  (mif^ 
p.  110, 11.  6-3  from  the  bottom  of  col.  2.  2.  The 
charge  of  inaccuracy  seems  to  arise  through  Mr. 
KEsniTT'a  wishing  what  he  said  againBt  *'a  living 
tradition"  to  be  limited  to  the  (as  bo  calls  them) 
"attached  pieces"  of  the  chair.  But  it  was  impossible 
to  understand  it  so;  no  one  could  think  of  a  separate 
tradition  for  these,  as  they  had  never  been  con- 
sidered .separately.  Besides,  an/«,  p.  10\,  he  does 
not  so  limit  it.  He  there  calls  it  "  the  living 
tradition  of  Messrs.  Brownlow  and  Nortbcote,"  and 
tbut  their  tradition  alluded  to  the  whole  can  be 
seen  in  their  appendix,  p.  3iXJ.  Further,  the 
Roman  archa*oIogi8ts  certainly  do  treat  the  chair 
and  the  pieces  as  one  whole.  Garrncci's  words 
are,  "  NuUadiraeno  resta  vero  verissimo  che  con 
questa  sedia  di  Carlo  il  Cairo  assistono  uniti  gli 
ttvanzi  della  vera  seJia  gcstatoria  cho  tutta  Pan- 
ticbiti  senza  interru/iono  alcuna  ba  riconos- 
ciuta  e  venerata  per  la  Cattedra  di  S.  Pietro." 
Do  Bossi  also  (quoted  in  Mr.  Nbsditt's  mono- 
graph, p.  20, 1. 11  from  the  bottom)  .tpeaks  of  "  the 
interior  parts  of  the  ch.'iir  adorned  with  ivory, 
and  the  exterior  undecorated  parts  "  ;  and  Padre 
Franco  {Himon  Fitlro  «  Simon  Ma/fo^  note  64) 
•ays,  "D'entrauibi  quesle  parti  si  forma  un  lulto, 
una  cattedra  sola."  It  is  iocomprebenaible,  there- 
fore, that  Mr.  Nesbitt  can  charge  me  with  in- 
accuracy in  Buying  that  tb«8e  archmologiats  are 
of  opinion  that  the  remnanta  of  the  old  chair  bad 
been  incorporated  or  worked  into  th«  A^iud  oott. 
I  maj  further  remark  here,  in  paabg,  that  the 


"suggestion  "  he  chums  credit  for  making  (quol 
by  Mb,  lUMDOLrn,  aT*t«,  p.  201),  he  only 
to  make  for  the  sake  of  registering  the  ooai 
argument. 

If  any  personality  has  been  brought  into 
controversy,  it  is  in  his  expression  [anUj  p. 
1.  11  from  the  bottom  of  col.  2)  *'  than  those  \^ 
whom  the  subject  is  new,"thia  being  obviously 
a  polished  way  of  saying  "  than  &  woman,  who 
have  DO  opinion  on  such  a  matter";  for  it  is  tm| 
sible  Mr.  Nesritt  should  kuow  whether  ibe  st 
of  Byzantine  art  is  "  new  "  to  me,  and  a.i  a  matti 
fact,  however  imperfect,  it  is  not  much  newer  tl 
quarter  of  a  century.  But.  of  course,  the  professil 
is  always  intolerant  of  lay  bpinion ;  and  yet 
leisure  with  which  the  lay  person  can  livf,  at 
the  productions  of  art  so  accessible  in  SoutI 
Europe  affords  many  advantages  which  ore  d< 
to  the  professional,  whose  acquaintance  with 
same  is  often  based  on  a  hurried*  holiday 
underL*tken  with  an   overworked   brain,   p«rl 
even  antecedently  directed  to  follow  up  a  thi 
preconceived  from  somebody  else's  writings. 

The  more  any  nre  oonversant  with  an  obscutr- 
subject,  the  less  inclined  they  must  be  to  be  _ 
tire  about  it.     Mr.  Maskell's  candid    retu'l 
{miie,  p.  162),  and  the  changes  I  observed  in 
of  the  tickets  on  a  recent  visit  (March  20)  to 
Kensington,  are  a  proof  of  this  ;  and  I,  of  con 
never  pretended  to  dogmatize  about  the  chair] 
its  adornments.  I  have  endeavoured  that  the  o\ 
rations  the  controversy  has  drawn  from  mo  sh( 
be  as  well  supported  aa  those  of  anybody  else, 
I  only  offer  them  for  what  they  are  worth  to 
consideration  of  others.    Mr.  Nesbitt'*  Ik 
may  to  some  extent  be  right,  but  the  facta  cet 
admit  of  the  other  being,  at  least,  worthy  of  i 
sideration.     I  cannot  either    see  that  a  pel 
private  religious  opinions  need  have  anylhiaj 
do  with  such  a  discusaion. 

Now,  to  sum  up :  all  I  have  suggested  ia 
the  tradition,  living  and  written,  the  fact  of 
chair's  present  existence    and   of    its  samptt 
surroundingn,  as  well  as  the  abstract  probabili 
of  the  case,t  tend  to  support  a  faypotheaU  tl

imstances.  I  have  already  pointed  out  that  one

oal  in  designwith  ii  bit  which  the  Briti&h  Museum

Thia  brinf;ra  me  to  speak  of  the  little  effigy  of

kla  dUcovtry  ('Ma  mia  scoperta"),  and  is  far 
from  ascribing  to  it  any  similarity  with  Scar- 
dovelli'fl  drawinff,  Mr.  Nbsbitt,  who  has  only 
seen  the  drawing,  says  bo  agrees  with  him  ;  yet 
ho  cannot  surely  mean  that  be  sees  any  resom- 
bluuce  between  it  and  the  portrait  In  the  3.  Paolo 
Bible  !  *  Ko  one  can  exauiine  the  engraving  and

one  can  see  the  frontispiece  of  tho  San  Paolo 
Bible  ("  caique  sur  Toriginal ")  in  S^roux  d'Agiu- 
contCn  Suioir*  di  VArt  at  the  British  Museum, 
and  it  is  08  unlike  Scordovelli'a  as  any  two  kingly^ 
effigies  a)ald  be.  Another  portrait  of  tbe  aamo'^ 
monarch,  which  can  also  be  etuily  seen  there,  ia  in 
Conite  Auguste  Baaturd's  folio  reprndnctioa  of 
*Ma  Bible  de  Charlemagne"  (so  called)  from  tbe 
Bibl.  Nat.,  Paria.  This  is  in  feature,  &c.,  very 
like  the  other,  but  equally  unlike  Scardovelli's. 
I  am  not  saying  that  Padre  Garrucci  may  not 
have  *'  discovered  "  an  effigy  reaembling  these,  on 
the  actual  chair  ;  I  only  say  that  no  one  who  bia 
only  seen  tbe  engravings  can  decide  whether  he 
has  guessed  well  or  not. 

Mb.  Nesuitt  acems  to  rely  for  proof  of  Byzan- 
tine capacity  for  portrait  painting  at  Charles  tbe 
Bidd's  date  on  an  instance  to  which  he  refers  tbusi 
"Of  this  the  effigy  of  Basil  tbeMacedonian  engraved 

in  Labarte'a  Jfut.  At*  Aria  Tndnitriuli,  album, 

pi.  IxxxT.,  in  which  there  is  obviously  an  attempt, 
probably  not  unsnccessful,  nt  portraiture,  is  saffi- 
cient  proof."  A  guess  concerning  one  instanc* 
would  seem  to  be  no  very  sufficient  proof  of  th» 
capacity  of  an  oge;  but  unfortunately  tbe  Basil 
figured  at  the  reference  given  is  not  Basil  the 
Alacedonian  at  all,  but  Basil  II.,  who  died  nearly 
a  century  and  a  half  later  !  Now,  if  ho  thought 
that  from  tbe  character  of  Basil  I.  the  portrait  was 
"not  unsuccessful "  as  representing  him,  it  would 
almost  follow  that  it  would  not  be  a  proof  of  ex-

But  the  main  sapport  of  Mr.  Nksbitt's  arga-

^* endeavour  to  show  tbnt  it  is  the  throne  of  an 
«mperor"  (bis  words  in  Ap.  iv.).  He  spend-s  grettt 
part  of  seven  folio  pages  on  this  endeavour,  but  all 
the  time  he  ia  arguing  a^n^inst  ita  having  been 
«on»trnctcd  for  an  episcopal  chair.  Now,  "  this 
no  one,  so  fai  as  I  know,  hiia  ever  suggested."*  All 
that  has  been  claimed  for  it  is  that  it  was  a  chair 
«f  A  Roman  house  of  the  first  century,  or  the  re- 
fuains  of  one  repaired  and  reconstrticted  as  time 
went  by,  in  which  case  it  is  only  probable  that  its

this  is  when  the  scat  ii  of  concave  outline,  and  still  more

fairly  retort  that  he  in  "evidently  unaware"  {ante,

the  Uald  given  by  the  Chapter  of  Mctz  to  tbo  Colbert 
Lilinsry  in  the  Louvre;  in  this  Charles  happens  to  be 
reprvKoted  on  a  square  throne  without  baldachino,  but 
tbeii  this  wa«  done  at  a  time  when  he  was  only  Kiug  of 
France  and  not  Kinjwror;  and  further,  the  ivory  plagues 
of  the  binding  of  the  larae  volume  are  better  ex-imples

thia  reason  hia  challengo  to  me  to  explain  tbe 
absence  of  any  religious  symbols  in  the  decoration 
appears  idle.  Surely  his  knowledge  of  Christian 
art  will  supply  bis  memory  with  abundant  proofs 
that  this  ia  not  necessary.  In  fact,  it  may  rather 
be  considered  contrary  to  its  spirit  to  employ 
sacred  symbols  for  mere  decoration.*  Some  siicred 
represenUition,  indeed,  might  havt  been  set  up  on 
it  for  veneration,  or  as  a  token  of  its  con&ecrated 
use,  e,  ^.,  a  ''  Salvator  Mundi "  where  Scazdovelli 
bus  figured  one  ;  but  th.^t  it  was  not  naeeiMry 
would  be  patent,  if  there  is  none^  from  that  very 
fact:  for  whatever  anybody  may  be  disposed  to 
deny  concerning  it,  it  cannot  be  disputed  that  it  bai 
been  retained  in  its  present  conditiou  for  a  great 
nmny  centuries  (ever  since  875,  even  according  to 
Mr.  Nksditt).  If  it  were  a  principle  that  it  uuit 
bear  some  religious  symbol,  why  should  not  oi»e 
b»ve  been  put  on  7  tSo  far  from  this,  t)) 
preserved  in  the  sacriflty  some  little  r 
images,  of  which  Nfii.  NicsniTT  is  *'evidentij-  un- 
aware," and  which  were  notually  at  one  time  upon 
the  chair ;  but  were  so  little  thought  necesrary  to 
its  use  that  on  their  becoming  detached  they  were 
put  by  instead  of  being  replaced.  Under  this 
uspectj  again,  therefore,  it  may  be  thought  that  it 
"  proves  itself." 

I  have  treated  the  subject  thus  far  argnmenta- 
lively.  NoWf  oa  a  question  of  history,  I  thinlCj 
can  be  shown  concludively  that  this  chair  or  thi 
could  not  possibly  have  been  made  fur  the  coi 
tioa  of  Charles  the  Bald.  According  to  Duobei 
Charles  went  to  Home  with  the  greatest  despt 
directly  he  found  he  could  bo  certain  of  the  Pope*s 
support  in  assuming  the  empire,  only  occupying 
himself  with  putting  his  kingdom  in  a  state 
defence  against  his  rival  during  his  absence, 
reached  Rome  on  December  lb  and  waa  crowni

the  Diet.  Hut.  calls  him  "  un  des  plu«  s<;^vi 
hommes  que  la  France  ait  produits  pour  rhtatt 
surtout  du  Boa-Empire  "},  it  is  clear  no  such  c1 
could  hare  been  made  in  the  internal;  much  less 
was  there  time  to  send  a  portrait  to  Constantiuoj 
to  be  produced  on  it.  If  Ctmrles  bad  anythtnj 
do  with  it,  it  can  only  be  supposed  that  he 
orders  (be  quitted  Rome  again  on  January  0), 
it  to  be  made  for  the  Pope ;  and  this  is  not 
possible,  for  he  was  under  great  obligations  to  him;'

It  is  quite  oa  likely,  however,  that  if  it  vtoa  coq-

TflowBRiDGR  (6"»  S.  viL  0).— Although  Trow- 
bridge  is  not  mentioned  in  iJomesday  there  is  a 
place  quoted  with  which  I  think  it  must  be  identi- 
ned.    I  refer  to  iitrahurg^  a  place  now  unknown  by 
name  and  diSicult  of  identification  with  any  other 
place.     Straburg,  Stavreton  (Staverton),  and  Trole 
(Trowle)  were  at!  held  by  Brithric,  who  inherited 
them  from  his  father.    Of  these  phices  the  last  two 
Are  well  known,  Staverton  being  u  smalt  village  about 
two  utiles  from  Trowbridge,  and  Trowle  is  a  hamlet 
c^lose  to  the  town.     At  the  instigation  of  Matilda 
— who  was  said  to  have  been  a  *'  woman  scorned  " 
t)y  Brithric  in    fijrmer    years,  when    he    visited 
t'landera — the   estates  of  Brithric  were  forfeited 
and  were  conferred  upon  Humphrey  de  Bohuno. 
Amonffst  these  was  the  town  of  Trowbrid>^e  and 
the  plougblaadfl  of  Staverton  and  Trole,  the  former 
comprising  three  and  the  hitter  one  plougbland. 
Jt  is  probable  that  the  town  was  known  by  both 
names,  that  of  Straburg  gradually  giving  way  to 
the  more  favourite  Trowbridge.     Many  ingenious 
cnesses  have  been  made  as  to  the  meaning  of  the 
Tatter  place-name;  but  it  seems  to  me  that  the 
simplest  solution  is  the  ono  most  likely    to    bo 
correct.     At  the  present  time  we  often  call  a  street, 
road,  or  bridge  by  the  name  of  the  place  it  Iciids 
to;  aud  why  should   this  not  have  happened  iu 
ihe   pa^t  7      The    bridge  over   the  little  Biss  at 
Trowbridge,  led  almost  directly  from  the  foot  of 
the  castle  bill  to  the  hamlet  of  Trowle,  and  what 
more  rational  than  that  it  should  have  been  called 
Trolc-bridge,  and  later    Trowle-bridge,    a    name 
cveotu.'dly  identified  with  the  town.    Camden  says 
(he  town  was  called  Trutha-brig,  or  trusty- bridge, 
nod  Leland  adopted   the    same   idea    and    wrote 
ThoTongh  or    Through-bridge.      Gough    and  the 
-Author  of  Magna  Britannia  wrote    Trol-bridge, 
■nnd  GeoiTrey  of  Monmouth  Trowle-bridge.    There 
is  a  local  tradition  that  the  name  of  the  town  was 
•changed  from  a  former  designation  to  Trow-brldge 
{iroe-bridge}    during    the   wars    of  the    Empress 
Maud,   in  consequence    of   the    bridge  an'urding 
vtieans  of  escape  to  the  empress  in  the  disguise  of 
41  milkmaid    when    closely   pressed    by  Stephen. 
There  is  another  Trowbridge  near  to  Crediton,  in 
Devon,  whioh  anciently  was  also  called  Thorottgh- 
*  ridg#.  ^  U.

Trowbridge  is  a  phice  in  reference  to  whioh  it  is 
requisite  to  obtain  the  name  in  its  earliest  ascertain- 
able form,  because  of  the  guesses  which  have  been 
har^rded  respeotiug  it.  The  notice  in  Cooke's

calU  it  'Thorough  Bridge.'"  Flavell  Kdmunda 
{7VocM  of  iiisi.  in  Names  of  Plae^,  p.  21»9,  Lond., 
1872}  has:— *' Trowbridge  E.,  anciently  Trutha-

Camden  mentions  the  last,  and  Gibson,  in  the  in>

the  first  and  last  {Brit.,  "  Wilts,"  vol.  i.  col.  1 10,

Id  Leland's  Itinerary  the  name  is  spelt  Thorow- 
bridge,  or  Throughbridge,  which  doubtless  is  the 
meaning  of  the  name.  la  Somerset,  Wilts,  and 
Dorsetshire  alike,  the  Ih  is  in  most  words  pro- 
nounced hard,  like  d, — thus  three  would  be  dr4«, 
through,  drew — so  Tborowbridge  would  in  local 
parlance  be  Drew- or  Drowbridge,  eiaclly  as  it  is 
now  pronounced  by  the  poorer  people  in  that  loca- 
lity. Leland  is  most  valuable,  as  showing  the  ex- 
traordinary latitude  in  spelling  proper  names  pre- 
vailing at  the  time  he  wrote.  Worksop  is  sp*lt  in 
nine  or  eleven  different  ways  in  one  short  account 
of  that  town.  It  is  a  great  pity  that  no  one  haa 
yet  undertaken  to  make  an  index  to  the  Ifinfrartf, 
OS  at  present  it  is  Lmpoasible  to  find  anything  un- 
less alt  the  volumes  ore  hunted  through  from  be-

This  fair  was  established  by  the  charter  granted 
by  King  Edward  IV.  to  the  city  of  London 
Nov.  9j  1462.     It  was  appointed  to  bo  held 
September  7,  8,  and  t),  and  was  attended  by  tl 
usual  Court  of  Piepowder  for  the  bearing  of  pi 
and  the  issue  of  process  connected  with  matte 
arising  in  the  fair.     The  site  is  indicated  by  the 
circumstance   that  when,   in  1743,  the  fair  was 
partially  suppressed,  and  the  stall-keepers  in  con- 
sequence discontinued  their  customary  gratuity  to 
the  debtors  in  the  Marabalsea,  the  latter  threw 
over  their  prison  walls  a  quantity  of  stones  and 
rubbish,  which  lighted  among  the  booths  in  th9 
fair.     Go  this  occasion  one  life  teems  even  to  hav« 
been  lost.     Subsequently  the  site  was  removed  to 
the  Mint  in  Southwark,  and  the  proceedings  wero 
finally  suppressed  in  1763.     Jclian  Sharuax.

Thieves'  VmEOAR  (6^"  S.  vii  68).— 

"Tlie  repute  of  thti  preparation  as  a  propliyUctio  in 
contagioos  fevers  is  said  to  bnre  arisen  from  the  eon- 
fenion  of  four  thieves,  who,  during  tbe  plague  at  Mar- 
•eilies,  plundere^l  the  dead  bodies  with  perfect  security, 
And,  aj>on  being  arretted,  stated,  ou  condition  of  their 
liret  being  spared,  that  the  wo  of  aromatic  vinegar 
bad  preferred  tbem  from  tbe  influence  of  contagion.  It 
is  on  this  acciunt  sometimes  called,  '  Lo  rinsigre  des 
-^juatre  voleurs.* 

"  It  wns,  however,  long  used  before  tbe  plague  of  Mar- 
Bellies,  for  it  was  the  constant  custom  of  Cardinal 
Wolsey  to  carry  in  his  band  an  orange  deprived  of  its 
«ontent«,  and  filled  with  a  sponge  which  had  been  soaked 
III  vinegar  impregnated  with  various  spices,  in  order  to 
preserve  himself  from  infection  when  passing  tbrou);h 
«he  crowds  which  his  splendour  or  office  attracted.  Tbe 
iiitt  plague  rsged  in  1&49,  whereas  Wolsey  died  in 
1531.'  — Persira'e  EUmatX*  of  J/otma  MeHica,  third

that  fl:*y^  which  is  the  nearest  we  can  come  to  iho

principle  which  I  have  nowhere  aecn  laid  down, 
though,  as  a  rule  of  thumb,  or  first  rough  Ruido  (to 
which  there  are  not  many  exceptions),  it  is  often 
valuable.  It  ia,  that  English  words  beginning 
with  ih  are  very  likely  to  be  of  AoBlo-Sason 
origin,  whilst  those  beginning  with  $k  are  almost 
iDvariahly  Scandinavian,  lleoce  the  rlifferenoo

Palet  Familt  (e""  S.  tIL  69).— The  Paleya 
seem  to  have  resided  in  the  neighbourhood  of

Adam  do  Palei  and  Kichardus  de  Paley  mentioned 
in  the  charters  of  Ciiggleswick  Chnrcb,  we  find 
that  Adam  de  Palay  and  wife  and  Johannes  de 
PaUy  and  wife  were  householders  in  Gigglesn-ick 
in  1379  (»ee  the  West  Biding  Poll  Tax  for  137J),

Adaiu  Palny,  of  ytninforth,  near  Settle,  were

Bi  (or  ITfy)  Kelly.  It  ia  generally  understood  to 
he  a  humorouii  olluaiou  to  the  large  number  of 
natives  who  bear  the  name  of  Kelly,  and  is  moatly 
used  by  the  lower  order  of  sumutcr  vbitors,  or 
"trippers."  These  hiive  so  often  heard  the  cry 
used  in  earnest  by  natives  calling  to  members  of 
the  prolific  clan,  that  in  jest  they  have  repeated  it;, 
much  in  the  spirit  of  the  American  humorist  who, 
stepping  on  board  a  steamer,  raised  his  hat  and 
called  to  those  on  shorei  **  Good-bye,  colonel ";  the 
result  being  that  some  score  of  bata  were  raised  in 
response,  while  a  hearty  *'  Good-bye,  jedge,"  waa 
returned.  In  Wales  I  have  observed  "trippers'* 
amusing  themselves  by  calling  aloud  in  a  crowded

introduction  was  written  by  "the  learned  Mr. 
Anthony  Hall,  late  fellow  of  Queen's  College, 
Oxford,"  and  a  MS.  note  in  Gough's  copy  adds, 
"Dr.  H.  owned  the  account  of  Berkshire  to  be

Of  late  years  the  secood-haod  booksellers, 
finding  the  set  unsaleable,  have  adopted  the 
practice  of  breaking  it  up  into  counties,  and  of 
issuing  these  parts  with  such  "fancy"  title-pages 
as  their  experience  teaches  them  will  be  most 
iikely  to  catch  the  eye  of  "  the  county  collector." 
A  similar  trick  is  also  played  with  the  Beaniiu  of 
England  and  ^Falts;  and  the  ingenuity  displayed 
tiy  flome  members  of  "  the  trade  "  io  setting  traps 
for  the  unwary  is  often  very  amusing  to  a  sys- 
tematic reader  of  book  caUlogues.  A  copy  of 
Cjx'b  Magna  BritaimU  is  priced  2/.  2#.  in  Mr. 
t^uaritch's  great  catalogue  for  1874.

Mr.  Walfobd'8  query  may  possibly  'provoke 
an  opinion  or  two  (more  or  lea?  strong)  upon  a 
■very  vUe  practice  with  some  of  our  modern  book- 
sellers. His  small  quartos,  lettered  "Cox's

Cjxs  Majna  liritannia  ArUiqiui  et  Sova,     Some 


iogeniouB  man  has  dismembered  the  complete 
work,  and  bound  up  each  county  as  a  separate 
production  with  its  own  title-page.  The  Scotch 
friend  of  Mr.  Thome  who  so  satisfactorily  disposed 
of  the  "putters  forth  of  iodexless  books''  might 
find  in  these  wretched  booksellers  a  fit  subjeot  for 
his  attention.  J,  Kosc

McNDY  OF  Markeatok  (6'*  S.  TU.  80).- 
the  fourth  volume  of  Nichols's  Ln4Mter»hire 
pedigree  of  this  old  Derbyshire  family,  oarril 
back  to  a  remote  period.  The  park  and  seat  at 
Markeaton,  co.  Derby,  were  in  the  family  <if 
Tuchet,  one  of  whom  (through  his  mother,  co- 
heiress of  Nicholas,  Lord  Audley  of  lleleigh)  be- 
came Baron  Audley.  His  descendant,  John,  Lord 
Audley,  sold  the  manors  of  Markeaton  and  Mack- 
worth,  circa  1616,  to  Sir  John  Mundy,  a  native 
of  Wincfacombe,  Bucks,  and  a  citizen  of  London. 
Sir  John  Mundy  was  Lord  Mayor  of  London  in 
15S3,  and  died  in  153S,  seised  of  Markeaton, 
Mackwortfa,  and  Allestree,  villages  cloeely  aJjoin- 
ing  the  borough  of  Derby.  The  connexion  of  the 
Mundy  family  with  the  county  of  Derby  is,  how- 
ever, of  far  older  standing  than  thia  ;  for  the  com- 
mencement of  their  pedigree  shows  John  Mundy, 
temp.  Edward  I.,  married  to  Isabel,  daughter 
Robineb  Eyre,  of  Hope.  The  arms  of  Mi 
are,  Per  pale  gules  and  sable,  on  a  cross  en^ 
argent  five  lozenges  purpure,  on  a  chief  or  tl 
eagles'  legs,  erased  a-la-quise,  azure.  Cn*\ 
wolfa  head  erased  sable,  bezantt^e,  fire  iasi 
from  the  mouth  proper.  The  Mundys  of  Shi| 
CO.  Derby,  are  descended  from  a  younger  b( 
of  the  Muadya  of  Markeaton,  and  bear  the 
arms  with  due  difference. 

It  would  be  dif^cuU,  indeed,  to  point  to  a  fs 
seated  close  to  a  county  town  for  so  many  gei 
tions  whose  members  have  been  more  highl 
spected  and  honoured  than  the  Mundys  of  il 
caton  have  beeu  in  Derby.    We  find  Robert  ^f  uody 
representing  the  borough  in  the  twenty-fifth 
liaraent  of  Henry  VI..  and  Edward  Mundy  aa' 
colleague  of  Sir  Nathaniel  Curzoa  in  the  iwi 
parliament  of  Queen  Anne  (Willis,  Not.  Pari., 
In  later  days  they  have  been  knights  of  the  th

Library.— Vol.    III.       Civtl    and    Alodtrn    Httiory. 

(Bristol,  Arrowstnith.) 
The  first  and  second  volumes  of  this  work  have  already 
bean  noticed  in  "  N.  k  Q"  (6th  S.  v.  310);  it  mow 
remains  for  us  to  ipeak  of  tho  third  and  concluding 
volume,  for  which  Mr.  Nichults  is  Apparently  alone 
responsible.  We  think  he  has  succceucd  in  safltainin£>- 
tbc  reader's  intereitt  uutil  the  end  of  the  Inst  century. 
when  bo  enters  on  the  conclusion  of  tho  work  with  n 
summary  of  local  events  much  too  brief  and  bare  to 
Arrest  the  attention  of  onv  but  thore  who  can  fill  np  the- 
outline  from  memory.  Further,  we  do  not  think  the 
story  of  modem  Bristol  very  edifying,  except  as  teaching; 
us  wtiat  lamentable  failures  came  of  the  mifdirected  and 
half-lieartcd  efforts  made  by  her  citiiens  to  improve  the^ 
river  communication  with  the  rca,  and  otherwise  accom- 
modata  the  city  to  the  rapid  progress  of  the  age.  For 
6Q0  years  have  they  been  engaged  in  futile  attempts  to- 
etraighten  and  de<-pcn  a  narrow,  muddy,  meandering 
river,  and  so  striving  to  rob  it  of  its  pioturefque  ele- 
mcnts  and  sjlvan  bcnuty.  The  port  will  have  to  be  at 
the  mouth  of  the  river  after  all,  at  "  Avoinnoutb,'  a 
word  supposed  to  have  been  recently  coined,  but  leally 
to  ho  four.d  in  tho  An glo  Saxon  CAiow.,  mh  ««no  1007, 
"Avonmu^."  This' long  wrestle  with  nnture  Mr. 
Nicholls  might  have  mode  the  subject  of  a  chapter  by 
itself.  The  twentieth  chapter,  however,  is  devoted  to 
the  history  rf  the  maritime  enterprlje  of  Bristol,  and  j» 
one  of  the  most  interesting  in  the  volume. 

Bristol  has  followed  the  example  of  London  in  a 
humble  wnv  in  many  things  ever  since  she  built  a 
briiJge  ana  covered  it  vtith  houses  in  the  Middls 
Ages,  down  to  a  recent  imitation  of  the  Uolborn 
Viaduct  at  tlie  bottom  of  Park  Street, and  in  a  nianifr 
for  st«et  "  improvements."  The  main  tboronghrarea 
of  the  old  rity  ore  rapidly  becoming  mere  bywsvs, 
rarely  traversed  by  the  eager,  bustling,  hastening-to-be- 
rich  nineteenth  century  man  of  bttsinoM  or  tho  over- 
worked tram-riding  folk. 

These  mdicul  changes  in  the  appearance  of  the  phcfr 
are  barely  referred  to  by  the  author,  to  whom  they  are 
evidently  not  so  apparent  as  to  a  caixial  visitor. 

Mr.  McIk  lis  gives  a  too  brief  account  of  the  eminent 
persons  connected,  either  through  birth  or  by  residence, 
with  Hristi-I,  and  verv  guarded  and  discreet  reftrcncea 
to  political  events,  lie  uives  a  full  account  of  tho  good 
old  Tory  ]ihiIanthropiBt  Edward  Colston,  whose  memory 
Is  still  celebrated  every  year  in  the  city  by  two  politicsi)- 
banquets,  both  liberal  in  one  arnse.  Buriie's  manly 
address  to  the  electors  in  I7S0  is  given,  and  some  in- 
terestinK  particulars  of  tho  great  orator's  brief  parlia- 
mentary connexion  with  Bristol.  Among  otlicr  illus- 
tr«tionj  thrre  ore  a  few  woodcuts  of  old  hslf-timber 
houses  and  fine  old  cbiuineypttec«,  which  ore,  however, 
put  in  anywhere.  At  the  end  of  the  rolame  ia  a  very 
madequate  index— a  mistake  even  in  a  "  popular"  book.

"JOHN  IK0LE3AKT'*  AND  UTTLB  GIDDINO 
CHURCH. 

Mr.  Shortbouae  has  evidently  taken  such  pains 
be  accurate  in  all  tiie  details  of  John  InffUsant, 
that  I  feet  diffident  in  ercn  hinting  that  be  ban 
Hinde  a  alight  error  in  bis  description  of  Little 
<tidding  Church.  I  will  therefore  put  my  doubt 
ID  the  form  of  a  query,  ond  ask — Were  there  enat 
md  wef^t  windows  in  that  church  in  ifao  time  of 
Nicholaa  Ferrar ;  and,  if  so,  were  those  windows 
filled  with  stained  gla^ }  I  fihoutd  nnswer  my 
own  query  with  a  double  negutive.  I  imajj^nc 
tbftt  there  were  uo  such  windows,  except  n  small 
window  o?er  the  western  door — the  sole  entrance 
lo  the  church — which  window  contained  the  royal 
arms  in  coloured  glass.  In  chapter  iv.  tho  author 
aaya  :— 

"  AboTfi  ibe  altar,  which  was  profuaely  bedecked  with 
flowors,  tlie  Antique  gl»ti  of  the  cunt  window,  which  had 
been  carerutlr  repairtd.  cuntaiocd  a  fli^ure  of  the  Sarlour 
of  an  early  and  lerere  type.'' 

A  full  description  of  this  figtiro  is  given,  together 
with  the  solemn  impresaions  that  it  produced  on 
the  bero  of  the  romance.  In  chapter  xi.  the  author 
writes : — 

*'  At  the  words  '  Lighten  our  darkness  '  fi«  looked  up 
ai  Kme  uolte,  and  saw  the  lu&light  from  the  vrcst  wiu- 


dow  Mtihine  htto  tbi*  church  upon  Marj  Oullctand  the 
kneetintc  vromi:n,  and,  bdjond  them,  etundmic  in  Iho 
dark  shud'.w  under  the  iviudow,  the  mossenger  of  the 
Jcfuit  whom  he  knew." 

Is  reference  here  mode  to  the  small  "  weitt  window^ 
nt  the  entry  into  the  church  over  tho  door,  whera 
the  king^s  arms  were  placed  in  painted  j^laas,  and 
the  lioQ  that  supported  the  arras  hud  on  tho  crown 
he  wore  on  his  liead  a  little  cross,  as  was  ever  used 
in  the  king's  arms  and  supporters  ;  and  this,"  said 
Nicholas  Ferrar  to  the  king,  "was  all  the  crosses 
that  ever  were  seen  in  Gidding  Church  j  or  any 
other  painted  glass  or  pictures"  (see  the  Lxf^hy 
hia  brother)  ?  This  last  sentence,  I  think,  shows 
that  there  was  no  stained  glass  in  the  e.i8t  window, 
if  ever  there  was  on  east  window.  The  "  Lord  " 
who  was  with  the  King,  tho  Prince,  the  Pulpgrave, 
the  Duke  of  Lenox,  and  others,  had  said  to  Ferrar, 
"  It  waa  affirmed  to  me  that  there  was  a  cro^s  in 
one  of  the  windows  in  painted  ghiss."  The  whole 
p.arty  were  in  the  church  when  this  conversntion 
was  held.  If  the  east  window  bad  been  such  oa  ia 
described  in  John  lugUtani,  it  is  fair  to  infer  that 
some  mention  would  have  been  made  of  it  in  thia 
conversation,  and  in  the  descriptions  of  the  church 
in  the  Lives  of  Ferrar  by  his  brother  and  Dr.  Jebb, 
and  also  in  tho  lengthy  letter  of  Edward  Lenton. 
No  east  window  is  anywhere  mentioned. 

It  is  tme  that  when  (in  the  Life  by  the  brother) 
there  U  an  account  of  a  "  dinner  at  an  enrKs  house, 
not  fur  from  Oidding,"  where  "they  fell  upon 
discourse  of  Gidding — every  man  being  ignorant 
of  the  place"-  and  one  "  bolder  than  the  rest  did 
affirm  that  they  were  so  superstitious  that  they  had 
twelve  Beveral  crosses  in  tho  chancel  window." 
Whereupon  a  gentleman  who  had  visited  tho 
church  said  that  be  had  not  seen  even  "  one  orosa 
in  the  chancel  window."  "But"  said  he,  "there 
are  three  windows  in  the  chancel,  or  tho  one  win- 
dow is  divided  into  three  parts.  And  will  yoo  not 
confe'5  that  there  are  three  great  iron  bars  go 
upright,  and  four  shorter  bars  go  cross  each  of 
those  windows?  So  shall  they  nwke  four  crosses 
in  each  window,  and  that  twelve  in  all,  be  it  of 
iron,  wood,  atone,  paint.  That  yon  cannot  deny." 
This  seems  to  be  mere  badinage  ;  or,  as  one  of  the 
company  observea,  "Tho  thing  waa  a  riddle,  true 
and  not  true."  If,  however,  we  accept  it  as  true, 
and  that  there  was  a  three-light  window  in  tho 
chancel,  we  must  further  believe  that  the  gtoas  waa 
not  coloured ;  for  in  the  same  conversation  the 
gentleman  speaks  of  "Dr.  M."  (Morison,  Chan- 
cellor \  0  Bishop  Williams)  visiting  the  church,  when 
"  the  Doctor  wonderfully  liked  it,  as  well  ho  might, 
for  the  comeliness  of  all  things  in  it  and  about  it, 
only  said  to  Mr.  N.  F.  that  there  wanted  one 
thing  that  would  do  well  in  the  chancel  window, 
MVbat,  doctor,' said  he, 'is  that  r  *  Painted p* 
and  in  it  a  crucifix.'  I  heard  Mr.  N.  F.  f 
*  that  if  there  had  been  any  when  they  c«|

would  not  have  pulled  it  down  except  authority 
hod  commanded  ;  so  neither  would  he  set  up  any- 
thing without  command  of  authority.'" 

This  is  the  only  mention  of  a  choncel  window 
to  which  I  can  refer ;  thouKh  in  an  anonymous 
Lift  of  Nickolas  Ftrmr,  published  by  Musters, 
1862  (believed  to  be  written  by  Mr.  Miller,  of 
New  College),  and  "abridged  from  the  Memoirs  by 
Dr.  P.  Peckard,"  there  is  the  following  sentence : 

"  The  opnco  behind  the  commanion  table,  onder  the 
east  window,  was  elegantly  wftin?coted  and  adorned  with 
the  Ten  CommaDdmentv,  the  Lord's  Prayer,  and  the 
Apoitles'  Creed,  engraved  on  four  beautiful  tablets  of 
brass,  gilt."— P.  108. 

I  am  unable  to  refer  to  Peckard,  and  cannot,  there- 
fore, tell  whether  he  is  responsible  for  the  words 
"  under  the  east  window."  When  the  west  front 
of  the  church  was  rebuilt  in  1714,  the  western 
gallery,  put  up  by  Mrs.  Ferrar,  was  removed,  and  the 
dimensions  of  the  church  would  seem  to  have  been 
lessened  at  that  end ;  as  "  the  seven  feet  to  the 
westward"  that  John  Ferrar  was  to  pace,  and  there 
to  mark  the  position  for  his  brother's  grave,  now 
exceeds  that  measure.  It  is  possible  that  the  west 
window  of  John  Inglesant  may  hare  been  removed 
in  that  alteration  in  1714,  and  also  that  the  east 
window  may  have  been  bricked  up.  I  would  ask, 
I>id  Mr.  Shorthouse  visit  Little  Gidding  before 
the  alteration  of  the  church  by  Mr.  Hopkinson  in 
1853?  If  he  did  not  do  so,  a  carefully  executed 
water-colour  drawing,  that  is  now  before  me,  of  the 
interior  of  Little  Gidding  Church,  looking  etist, 
would  be  of  interest  to  him,  I  made  that  drawing 
in  the  summer  of  1851.  Ko  trace  of  an  east  win- 
dow could  be  seen  ;  in  fact,  there  was  no  room  for 
one,  unless  it  was  a  small  one  high  up  in  the  wall. 
Over  the  communion  table,  which  hud  an  old  red 
Persian  carpet  for  an  altar-cloth,  the  dark  ouk 
wainscotting  was  carried  to  some  height,  with 
**  I.U.S."  in  the  central  panel  Above  the  wains- 
cotting were  the  bnizea  tables  of  the  Creed,  Lord's 
Prayer,  and  Ten  Commandments,  rising  to  a 
height  of  (perhaps)  twelve  feet  from  the  half-pace 
or  floor.  The  dark  wainscotting  was  continued  on 
the  north  and  south  sides  of  the  chancel,  in  which 
there  was  no  window.  The  need  for  artificial 
light  must  have  been  great.  "  I  asked  also,"  says 
lienton,  *'  what  use  they  made  of  so  many  tapers  ? 
He  said,  to  give  them  light,  when  they  could  not 
see  without  them."  In  the  nave  were  four  windows 
of  unstained  glass,  two  on  either  side.  The  "  fair, 
large,  reading-place,"  was  on  the  north  side,  to 
which  had  been  added  *'  the  preaching  place  of  the 
same  proportion"  that  had  formerly  stood  opposite 
to  it  on  the  south  side  by  the  brazen  font.  Of 
this  font,  the  brazen  eagle  (minus  its  silver  claws), 
the  brazen  bracket,  and  the  brazen  tables  over  the 
communion  table,  I  made  a  drawing  on  wood, 
which,  being  engraveil,  was  puhiiHhfd  in  the 
f  McmorabiUa"  cuiuma  (edited  by  the  lAt«  Mr. 


Staunton),  in  the  Illustrated  Tendon  Xews,  May  3; 
1856.  A  great  beam  went  half-way  acrosa  ibi 
chancel,  which  was  partially  ceiled.  The  altu^ 
mils  were  massive,  and  seats  (like  benches)  wm 
in  front  of  the  heavy  wainscotting  on  the  nortk

small  sketchy  view  of  the  exterior  of  the  chnith

THOMAS  CAMPBELL.  THE  POET. 

For  some  years  past  it  has  been  my  pleainn 
and  my  good  fortune  from  time  to  time  to  be  abla 
to  give  new  facta  for  the  biography  of  eminent 
persons,  as  well  as  to  correct  certain  errors  mods 
in  existing  biographies  which  would  appear  to  hav» 
been  caused  by  circumstances  over  which  writen 
bad  no  control.  For  such  privileges  I  h^ve  been 
indebted  to  many  sources,  which  include  carefal 
searches  through  the  records,  wills,  and  parish 
registers,  and  the  actual  possession  of  a  very  in- 
teresting collection  of  historical  and  genealogicil 
documents,  all  enabling  me  to  give  the  facts  alresdj 
published  about  Caxton,  the  first  English  printer, 
and  Wynkyn  de  Worde,  his  successor  (see  my 
Caxton  Memonar)f  the  poet  John  Milton  (see  th€ 
first  volume  of  the  second  edition  of  Prof.  Mas- 
son's  Life)j  the  first  and  last  Earl  of  Cleveland 
("N.&  Q.,"  6*"  S.  iv.  11),  Leonard  Pluckenet, 
"the  queen's  botanist"  (Journal  of  JBo^-any, 
November,  1882X  and  Chaunoy,  the  historian 
(Afem.  of  W.  F,  Bray).  And  now  I  have  anothei 
good  name  to  add  to  the  list,  that  of  Thomai 
Campbell,  the  poet.  This  "find'*  is  rather  an 
extraordinary  one,  for  it  compels  me  to  oorred 
several  errors  which  I  consider  could  well  havi 
been  avoided  had  a  proper  care  been  exercised.

UpOD  nferriog  to  the  ref^lster  at  St  Margaret's  T 
find  the  dato  to  be  the  lOih  of  October,  and  not 
8ept«mbBr.  Xfarou>:h  the  great  kindnesa  of  the 
rector,  the  Ven.  Archdeacon  Farnir,  it  it  tuy  privi- 
lege to  be  able  to  prove  this  by  aoopjof  theuri^jiDiil 
entry  :— 

''Thomav  Campbell,  of  thli  parish,  Batoholor,  and 
Matilda  Sinclair,  of  the  same  parish,  S|>iiuter.  were 
marritd  in  tUiii  church  by  licence  tlii^  tenth  day  of 
Octuber^  iu  the  year  one  ihouund  eight  hundred  nnd 
three.     Vy  me  T.  A,  Atwixid,  Cumte. 

"This  marriaKQ  was  silemniied  betireen  ua,  Tliomns 
Cnmpbcll,  Matilda  Minclnir.  in  the  proscDCe  of  Robert 
Kinclair,  Mary  Sinclair,  Fiatici*  I^cwis  CInion,  Ja.  Ant. 
WiB«»  Archd.  SiDcUir,  Kupfaeuiia  SiiicUtrf  Jeisie  Wim." 

Oo  the  dnj  this  marriacfe  wm  eolemniz^d  there 
were  two  others,  bat  both  of  these  were  by  bann?, 
and  all  three  are  entered  in  the  register  between 
others  of  the  duttfs  of  October  9  and  17,  bo  the 
certainty  as  to  dates  is  beyond  question. 

Now,  Dr.  Beattie  tells  ua  the  poet  recorded  the 
date  September  10  in  the  family  Bible,  from  which 
DO  doubt  the  biographer  obtained  his  informattoD, 
never  troubling  to  coneult  the  register.  The  po«t 
nuy  have  made  a  slip  In  entering  the  date,  but 
how  can  we  explain  the  words  iu  Campbell's  lt<tt«r 
to  Mr.  George  Thomson,  daUd  Sept.  29,  1803  ?— 
'*  I  aw  obliged  to  use  the  same  apology  for  this 
late  answer  to  your  agreeable  letter  of  lust  month 
at  the  worldly  man  made  for  not  heooming  a  dx&- 
ciple— I  have  made  a  wife,"  &o.  And  how  can 
we  exfUin  the  passage  in  the  letter  which  the 
poet  sent  to  his  sister  IVlary,  and  dated  Piinlico, 
Ojt,  2.  1803  (i. -347)/— 

"  Without  a  home,  and  iuch  a  home  aa  I  have  now 
made  U>  myielf,  I  declare  it  irns  utterly  imposiiiilo  lor 
TTio  to  pur«aoan/  course  of  imlmiry.  My  diBpofitlon  in 
•uttCude  is  so  prone  to  molancli»ly  th:it  when  I  1ir>d 
alone  in  lodging;*  I  was  fur  ilays  incapattle  of  vrorkinK  at 
the  sliglitett  tuj*k,  nnd  could  not  even  stir  out  of  d'>orv. 
la  the  cheerful  company  of  the  lady  1  have  chosen  I 
found  a  prrpctuul  tereiiity  of  mind,  such  ns  no  mixed 
or   eren  setccl  society  cuuld  impnrt.    TImr  deternnxod 

me  tohftgardovorythinifforiuchacompsntoo Luckily 

my  wife  ii  aa  domeftic  as  myself.  8bb«itaalldty  hoiide 
me  ai  her  seam,  and.  except  to  receive  such  victors  as 
cannot  be  denied,  we  ftit  for  over  st  our  reipective  voca* 
tton*." 

Here,  then,  we  have  three  errors  in  the  h-inrl- 
writing  of  the  po'^t  himself,  and  very  extraoidinury 
OPCB  too ;  for  what  possessed  him  to  fill  in  the 


date  of  bis  marriage  in  the  family  Bible  a  month 
htfove  it  took  pUoe,  and  why  are  the  twa  letters 
speaking  of  his  wife,  dated  htfon  he  was  married  ? 
Such  a  mistake  as  to  dates  causes  genealogists  no 
end  of  trouble,  and  amateur  pedigree-hunters 
wonder  why  so  much  time  and  money  is  spent  tu 
solvinjj  an  app-^rently  easy  question,  yet  one  very 
dilHeult  to  solve  if  such  nn  error  as  this  occurred  a 
century  and  more  ago,  when  records  were  of  a  less 
explanatory  nntnre  thnn  at  the  present  tim(>. 

And  what  is  the  resalt  in  this  oase  ?  The  date 
September  10  is  given  by  Dr.  B<;attie,  C.<mpbBirs 
biographer,  who  no  doubt  led  my  lamented  friend, 
the  well-known  Gol.  Chester,  to  adopt  the  saoLa 
date  in  a  note  in  his  WaimiiuUr  Abbey  RegUUn 
(p.  All);  and  others  have  since  fallen  into  the 
same  error,  even  mya«tf,  when  giving  a  brief 
account  of  Campb«ll  and  his  residence  at 
Sydenham  in  my  RamhU  round  tht  Crijiiat 
Palace,  1875,  p.  30.  And  yet,  curiously  enough, 
the  date  is  correctly  given  as  October  10  in  the 
Ginthman*i  il/^^azin*,  1803  (p.  987)— a  fdct  not 
to  be  ignored  when  we  &od  the  poet  himself  mis* 
leading  ns. 

And  yet  another  error  about  Campbell,  which  ts 
not  eicnsable.  The  present  edition  of  the  Eucitdo- 
padia  Bniannii'a  gives  the  date  of  the  poet's  death 
as  July  15,  1841,  whereas  it  actually  oconrred  at 
Boulogne  on  June  15.  I  do  think,  with  such  a 
well-knowa  modem  date,  with  the  month  plainly 
engraved  ou  his  gravestone  and  his  monument  in 
the  Abbey  at  Westminster,  and  the  remembranoe 
of  his  funeral  there  on  July  3,  that  the  error  in 
the  eighth  edition  need  not  have  been  repeated  in 
the  ninth,  especially  in  snch  a  popular  book  of 
reference  as  the  KnctjcloiKrAia  BrituJinica.

Emksdation    Br   Transposition  op    WoroJ 
OR  Lbiters.— The  text  of  Shukspere  and  othij 
writers  baa  occasionally  beea  luieaded,  or  moM 
frequently  it  has  been  suggested  that  it  should  bj 
amended,  by  the  transpoiiitioD  of  words,  or  eveJ 
letters.     Nor  is  euch  a  method  unreasonable.   Tfaj 
errors  of  the  press  are  frequent  and  moat  unooi 
tain,  as  all  know  who  may  have  had  to  correct  proi) 
.sheets,  and  the  most  careful  editor  may  overIod|| 
some  fMulL  During-  the  last  few  weeks  I  have  coal 
across  two  (ransposttionn  whicb  illustrate  the  abo' 
remark,  one  as  to  word««,  the  other  as  to  lelt 
only.     In  tho  edition  of  Bishop  Hall's  W<rYk$  pu 
liahed    by    Tulboys,    Oxford,    1837,    under    i 
editorial  cnro  of  the  lute  Rev.  Peter  Hall,  a  ini 
careful  and  couvpetent  scholar,  at  p.  54,  vol. 
occurs  tbia  pasja^e,    In    Iha   "  Coutemplaliaa

"All  this  wbils  Josepli  nantetl  neither  Trordi

King's  Teigstok,  Devon. — A  curious  cnstoui 
ia  kept  up  in  this  pariah  every  Whitsuntide.  A 
lamb  is  drawn  about  Ibe  pimeh  on  Wbiteun 
^louduy  in  »  cart  covered  with  parlanda  of  lilac, 
Inburoum,  and  other  flowers,  when  persona  are 
requested  to  give  BDmetbitig  towards  the  animul 
And  attendant  expens^n ;  on  Tuesday  ib  id 
liilled  and  roasted  whole  in  the  middle  of 
the  vilhif^e.  (Formerly  it  ia  said  to  have  been 
routed  in  the  bed  of  the  stream  which  itavrs 
tbrou>!h  the  Tillage,  the  water  of  which  wasr 
tnrned  off  on  the  previous  Saturday  in  order  that 
Ibe  bed  mi^'Ut  be  cleaned  and  purified.)    The  lamb 

»{a  then  sold  in  slices  to  the  poor  at  a  cbe:tp  rate. 
The  origin  of  the  cuatom  ia  forgotten,  but  a  tradi- 
tion, supposed  to  tmce  back  to  brfttiicn  dajs,  is  (o 
this  effect :— The  villaj;e  aulfered  from  a  dt^arlb  of 
water,  when  the  inhabitants  were  advised  by  lh«tr 
priesta  to  pray  to  tbe  gods  for  water,  whereupon 
water  sprang  up  !>pontaneou!i1y  in  a  meadow  about 
Ik  third  of  a  mite  above  the  river,  in  an  estate  now 
called  Rydon,  amply  sutficient  to  supply  the  wants 
of  ibe  pliice,  and  iit  present  adequate,  even  in  a 
dry  summer,  to  work  three  mills.  A  lamb,  ib  h 
said,  bus  ever  since  that  tijne  been  sacrificed  as  a 
votive  tbankofreriog  at  Wbitfjunlide  in  the  iniinner 
before  mentioned.  The  said  water  appears  like  a 
Inrgo  pond,  from  which  in  rainy  weather  may  be 
seen  jets  of  water  springing  up  some  inches  above 
llie  snrface  in  many  parts.  The  place  bus  been 
yisiled  by  members  of  different  scientific  bodies, 
ond  the  question  as  to  whether  it  is  really  a  spring 
is  still  a '"vexed  question."  The  general  opiaton 
lip]>eurs  to  be  that  the  real  spring  is  on  Haldon 
llilt,  and  that  after  flowing  down  to  Liodride, 
Ihe  seat  of  Mr.  James  0.  Templar,  it  loses  itself 
in  the  fii^^Rures  of  tbe  lime  rock  which  abounds  in 
Ihia  nci^bbourhond,  through  which  it  flows,  when 
it  meets  with  Rnive  impediment  where  it  now 
bursts  up  through  the  soft  meadow  ground  on 
HydoD,  and  where  il  has  ever  hud  the  name  of "  Fair 
Water."  fi.  Gdnthobp.

Abingdon.— Mr.  T.  KKitHr.AKR's  notice  of  the 
derivation  of  the  name  of  Abingdon  (anU,  p.  S^'S), 
as  "probably"  explainable  by  a  reference  to  ihe 
^*  Abenni  mansio  "  of  Ibe  Chronich  of  AhiiX'jdon

Mr.  Jofitf'ph  Stevenson  (vol.  ii.  p.  t).  It  is  there 
4hown  th:it  this  is  unsiipjiorEed  by  tbe  traditions 
of  the  abbey  itself  respecting  its  resil  founder,  and 
is,  for  the  re:ison8  aa^iyiio'^  to  bo  treated  lu  a  bito 
and  unauthentic  addition  to  the  history;  while 
the  name  is  more  probably  due  to  some  early 
settler  iu  Beiksbire.  £0.  Mjirshall.

Thb  Irish  CoNVocATioy  op  1634.— The  re- 
cords of  this  Convocation,  at  which  the  Irish 
canons  of  1634  were  passed,  were  supposed  to 
hare  been  destroyed  in  the  troubles  of  1641.  It 
appears,  however,  from  Nicholson's  Irish  Library 
that  they  are  amongst  the  Buckingham  M3S.  in 
the  library  of  Lord  Ashbumham.  The  documents 
are  of  great  interest,  and  as  the  Ashbumham  MSS. 
ore  now  to  be  sold,  they  may,  perhaps,  be  published.

Beyibw  Articles. — The  reviews  and  magazines 
with  valuable  articles  are  now  so  numerous  that 
few  collectors  have  room  to  keep  complete  volumes 
and  sets,  and  specialists  are  glad  to  cut  out  and 
keep  in  separate  form  many  of  the  important 
essays,  which  are  lost  sight  of  in  long  "  sets."  Some 
of  the  reviews  print  all  the  articles  so  that  each 
may  be  preserved  separately  ;  others  run  one 
article  into  another,  so  that  two  or  three  copies 
are  necessary  when  more  than  one  article  is  wanted 
for  separate  binding.  If  all  important  review 
articles  were  printed  so  as  to  be  readily  detached 
complete,  it  would  be  a  great  advantage.

Maze  (Maes  ?)  Hill,  Grernwich.  —  AU  pe^ 
sons  who  hare  resided  in  Greenwich,  and  maay 
who  have  not,  are  awaro  that  the  ascents  to  Black- 
heath  from  Greenwich  on  the  eastern  and  western 
sides  of  the  park  respectively  have  for  many  yean 
been  called  Maze  Hill  and  Grooms  Hill  Not  maDV, 
I  presume,  have  given  much  attention  to  the  origin 
of  these  terms.  I  have  heard  several  of  the  osoal 
guesses  in  such  matters,  amonp^t  the  rest  tfas 
absurd  one  that  Grooms  Hill  was  really  Groom 
Hill,  and  that  the  king's  horses  were  ridden  by  the 
king*s  men  up  that  bill  from  the  ancient  and  royal 
borough.  The  usual  derivation  of  Maze  Hill  is 
probably  equally  wide  of  the  mark.  Old  inha- 
bitants can  all  remember  when  it  was  usually  spelt 
Maize  Hill ;  and  I  have  heard  from  a  lady  of  eda- 
cution,  long  resident  near  its  foot,  that  the  t  wu 
finally  ejected  by  a  gentleman,  who  said  that  he 
would  do  so  (using  a  rather  rough  and  obvlooi 
pun  in  speaking  to  this  lady  about  it),  and  on 
taking  possession  of  a  house  at  the  bottom  of  the 
hill  had  "  Maze  Hill "  painted  on  it  in  very  con- 
spicuous lettem,  which  gradually  nchiered  bis 
object.  Tbe  reason  ho  assigned  was  that,  the  site 
of  the  Danish  camps  (East  Goombe  and  West 
Goombe)  being  near  the  top  of  the  hill,  the  hill 
itself  doubtless  bad  its  name  from  being  a  winding 
or  mazy  way  up  to  them— a  mere  guess,  in  fact.  It 
seems  to  me  pretty  clear  (if  I  am  wrong  I  hope 
some  one  will  contradict  me,  which  is  the  object  of 
this  query)  that  both  Maze  and  Grooms  Hill  are 
Keltic  names  slightly  altered.  Cwm  is  Welsh 
for  a  hollow  or  deep  valley,  mats  for  a  field  or 
piece  of  open  ground  (colli  y  maes=  to  lose  the 
(ield,  i.  e.  of  battle).  In  Hasted's  Uittory  of  Ktut, 
published  1778,  the  two  hills  arc  respectively  called 
Goomcs  Hill  and  Measo  or  Mcnzc  Hill.  I  have 
been  also  informed  by  an  aged  relative  that,  manv 
years  ago,  she  had  seen  the  latter  spelt  Maes  Hlli.

formation  respecting  Eleanor,  the  wife  of  Henry 
William  Shaw,  Esq,,  of  Ballytweedy,  co.  Antrim. 
She  was  a  daughter  of  William  Stewart,  of  Bel- 
fust,  and  I  am  informed  that  after  Mr.  Shaw's 
death  (which  occurred  Oct.  1,  1795)  she  married 
a  naval  officer  of  the  name  of  Ellesroere.  She  had 
a  brother,  Robert  Stewart,  who  lived  in  Belfast,  and 
two  sisters,  B.innah  and  Jane.  Were  they  con- 
nected with  the  Stewarts  of  Bailintoy? 

I  am  also  desirous  of  ascertaining  the  parentage 
of  Ann,  the  wife  of  Francis  Shaw,  Eeq.,  of  Cur- 
rickfergus  and  of  Ballyclare,  co.  Antrim.  She  hnd 
been  married  previously  to  n  Mr.  Joyce,  for  Mr, 
Shaw,  in  his  will,  dated  in  181X),  mentions  n  step- 
grandeon,  Charles  Joyce,  son  of  Valentine  Joyce. 
Francis  and  Ann  Shaw  had  four  daughters,  viie., 
(1)  Mary;  (2)  Elizabeth,  who  married  William 
Ryder  Dobbs,  Esq.,  of  Oakfield,  co.  Antrim,  third 
son  of  the  Very  Rev.  Richard  Dobbs,  Dean  of 
Connor;  (3)  Frances;  and  (4)  Helen,  who  married 
the  Rev.  John  Dobbs,  Rector  of  Clonmany,  co. 
Londonderry,  Becond  son  of  the  Dean  of  Connor. 
Mr.  Dobbs  died  about  1&39,  and  Helen,  his 
wLiiow,  iu  1847.  They  were  both  buried  at 
Carrickfergns.  I  nm  informed  that  there  is  a

had  ft  very  had  reputation  in  early  times,  as  some 
of  them,  especially  the  sdvertisinfi  ones,  Btill 
haTe.  Pnt.y.  Skkat,  indeed,  himself  allows  thU 
more  or  leas,*  bat  by  a  jndiciona  manipulation  of 
tbe  original  meaning  of  the  verb,  a  process  in 
which  I  hare  on  other  ocoasioos  (lee,  e.  g.^  my  note 
on  "Tram,"  G"*  S.  iii.  413)  been  obliged  to  pro- 
nounce him  to  be  an  adep^,t  and  by  quoting  other

poor  verb  broJcfn  the  meanings  of  to  mtind^f^  eoii- 
trivfij  or,  "perhnp*,"  h((^,  and  ia  of  opinion,  ac- 
cordingly, that  broker  originally  meant  a  "  manager 
or  transactor  of  hnBinets"!  Prof,  Skcat  was 
not  the  firat  to  propose  this  derivation  from  briJctn 
— it  will  be  found  both  in  Ed.  Miilter  and  Mii'.zner; 
but  the  former  says  "Tielleicht  too  deui  ngs.

sitigle  genuine  English  vnb  bas  erer  gtven  rise  to 
a  Bubstantire  in  our  {eour  or  ur),  all  such  Bub- 
Btantives  being  distinctly  of  Fren<ji  origin.  The 
Tery  great  importance  of  this  latter  fact  will  be 
Been  at  once  vhen  I  mention  that  hrocour  and 
hrokoiir  are  the  only  forms  given  by  Stratmann 
and  by  Matzner.  Prof.  Skeat,  indeed,  also  gives 
the  form  broktr,  but  even  if  this  form  exists  in 
O.E.  it  does  not  affect  my  argument  in  the  least, 
RB  I  have  shown  that  a  certain  number  of  French 
yerbs  have  given  rise  to  subBantivea  in  <r  and  its 
equivalent  forms  ire  and  are. 

It  must  not  be  thought,  either,  that  these  French 
substantives  in  our,  &c.,  are  few  in  number ;  there 
are  about  seventy  of  them,  and,  to  prevent  dispute, 
it  will  perhaps  be  as  well  if  I  quote  them.  They 
are :  Cbafour  (^chafer),  coafesBOur,  conqueronr, 
ooriour  (=currier),  conteckour  (debater  ?),  creatour, 
cnratour,  disour,  divinour,  doctour,  dolour,  dortour, 
emperour,  enchantour,  enginour,  erronr,  faitour, 
flatonr  (and  flaterere),  forbiachonr,  formour,  furrour 
(=furrier),  gilour  (deceptor),  governour,  honour, 
iogelouT,  joinour,  labour,  langour,  lechour,  levour, 
Jicour,  lumononr  (=:limner),  minonr,  mironr,  or- 
denour,  pillour,  portour,  priour,  purchaceoor  (and 
purchasour),  procuratour,  proveour,  provisour,  ran- 
cour, rasour,  ravinonr,  ravissour,  rectour,  redour 
(rednr  and  reddur),  regratour,  reportour,  rigour, 
riotour,  robbeonr  (also  robbere  and  robbare), 
sanveour,  savour,  senatour,  sisour,  Bomenour, 
Boudeour,  tabour,  tailonr,  temptonr,  tormentor, 
trichor  (also  trichour  and  trichur),  tutour,  valour, 
raponr,  Tontnr  (^vulture),  wajour,  wastonr. 

In  this  list  it  will  be  observed  that  I  include  all 
the  words  in  our^  and  not  merely  those  which  are 
derived  from  an  active  verb,  like  brocour,  I  have 
also  made  a  list  of  substantives  in  ere,  are^  er,  and 
or,  derived  from  English  active  verbs,  and  I  shall 
be  happy  to  give  it  S  Prof.  Skkat  would  like  to 
have  it. 

From  what  I  have  said  it  must,  I  think,  be 
evident  that  brocour  cannot  possibly  have  been 
formed  from  a  reully  Engliah  verb,  and  that  It 
must  be  referred  to  some  French  or  Latin  (i.e., 
Low  Latin*)  root  Now,  in  a  note  printed  in  1873 
in  "N.  &Q."  (4t'»  S.  xii.  143)  I  suggested  two 
dcrivatlonB  for  the  word  6roJl*er,  viz.,  either  from 
Fr.  broche  (older  form  broke=L.  Lat.  broca\t^  tap, 
and  perhaps  also  a  pot=6roc,  or  from  Fr.  broc 
(L.  Lat.  brocus  or  brockus),  a  jug  or  pot,  and  to 
these  two  words  I  still  stick.  For  with  these  two 
words,  and  especially  with  broca  (of  which,  accord- 
ing to  Littr6  and  Scheler,  brocus  is  only  an 
■nomalooB   offshoot),  I   would  connect  the  Low 


*  I  tay  Low  Latin,  because  Bometimes,  u  we  ihnll  fee 
further  on,  a  Low  Latin  word  exists  wbiuh  no  lonnr  has 
a  French  equivalent,  though  doubtleu  it  once  had.  Be- 
iides  wliicb,  Low  Latin  words  formed  after  the  exist* 
epee  of  FreDch  ai  a  language  muit  oocisioDally  have 

<«&  riis  to  new  Frsnch  worof, 


Latin  words  ah'oealor,  dbroceamenium,  brocariiu^ 
and  abrocarixts  (Wedgwood),  which  are  all  of  them 
evidently  connected  with  brokery  of  which,  indeed, 
broeariut  Beems  to  have  been  the  common  Latin 
form.  Abj\>catorj  too,  is  defined  by  Duoange  u 
"prozeneta,  pararins.  Gall,  eourtier,"  which  last 
word  is  still  used  in'  French= precisely  our  broibcr. 
Now  abrocator  evidently  comes  from  ahroeare, 
which  is  also  in  Ducange  with  the  meaning  of  "  per- 
forare,  Gall,  mettre  en  perce,  fistulam  dolio  apponere^ 
a  Galileo  broche  "  {=broca).  A  brocare  is,  therefore^ 
preci8ely=^our  Old  Eng.  abrochen  (Miittoer),*  ie,, 
to  abroach,  or,  as  we  now  say,  to  broach.  A  6ro- 
C4itor  is,  then,  an  abroacherj  or,  as  we  should  saj 
now,  a  hroachtr ;  and  my  notion  is  that  the  word 
broJur  is  merely  broacker  in  an  older  form.  We 
here  have  not  only  /orm,t  but  sense  complete,  for 
the  broacher  of  a  business  is  just  what  a  broker 
now  is,  and  what  he  formerly  was  when  he  wai 
also  a  negotiator  of  love-affairs  and  marriages. 

With  regard  to  brocarius  there  is  more  diffi- 
culty, as  noons  in  arius  seem  always  to  be  derived 
from  substantives  or  adjectives,  end  not  from 
verbs.  In  my  note,  therefore,  I  derived  this  from 
broca  or  brocuSf  just  as  cellarius  comes  from  ctlla 
and  pannarius  from  pannus.  Now  in  Ducange 
I  find  vinum  venditum  ad  brooamf  used  in  the 
meaning  of  wine  sold  in  small  quantities ;  and  in

broSieX  (a  broke  in  one  passage  given  by  Litti^),

cially  as  the  only  quotation  given  in  Ducange 
S.V.  brocarius  apparently  shows  that  a  brocarius 
had  orginally  some  connexion  with  the  wine  trade,§ 
that  the  word  may  originally  have  meant  a  man 
who  sold  wine  from  the  tap  or  by  the  jug,  t.e.,  in 
retai1=our  taptttr.  And  if  so,  the  word  might 
well  have  come  to  signify  a  retail  dtaltr  generally,

Liverpool,  just  published,  may  tissist  in  throwing 
light  on  the  ciothing  of  tbe  urmy  during  tbe  reign 
of  Elizibeth.  In  March,  1GC7,  a  muster  of 
soldiers  was  ordered  to  reinforce  tbo  nrwy  in 
Ireland,  when  the  following  proclamation  was 
issued: — 

"  Erery  one  mint  hnre  k  ci>«M:k  nf  blue  wntehet 
Yorkihiro  doth,  ({iiirded  with  two  txatiW  guarda,  stitched 
with  two  ititchcs  of  blue  ftpicce  ;  a  rcrjg'-'od  yew  bow 
and  aflheafof  arrows  in  ca«e,  a  red  cap,  a  stagor  stlrk 
hiickckin  j>'i  kin,  n  sword  dngger,  and  every  man  to  bare 
13f.  id.  iu  hie  purse." 

The  levies  of  South  Lanca«hirc  mustered  in  Liver- 
pool and  were  sent  to  CheBler,  where  they  were 
joined  by  tbe  forces  from  Derby«hire,  Staffordshire, 
and  ihc  other  Midland  cnunlies.  The  Staffordshire 
uniform  was  red  ;  all  tbe  others  were  dressed  in 
blue. 

In  1fi73  the  Kfirl  of  Ks sex  passed  through 
Liverpool  and  set  sail  thence  for  Carrickfergti'*,  to 
tiikc  tbe  command  of  ihe  Queen's  army  in  Irelnnd, 
A  detiichmeut  of  his  troops  was  left  behind  to 
follow  him,  when  a  serious  rmcuU  look  place  be* 
twcen  two  regiments,  called  respectively  the  "  Blue 
Coats*'  and  the  "  Motley  Coata,"  which  promised 
to  b«  attended  wilh  loss  of  life,  but  for  the  inter- 
ference of  the  burgesses,  who  flew  to  arms,  thus 
graphically  described  in  tbe  record  : — 

"  Truth  if,  there  was  luch  insurrection  stirred  by  thd 
said  Cai)t.  Bartlcj,  as  tbe  like  was  never  seen  in  the  town 
and  ibia  country ;  for  to  be  short.  Mr.  Mayor  and  all  the 
town  suddenly  as  nleoiod  Go<l  Almightr  were  ready 
uprn  the  heath  of  tliii  town,  erery  man  with  their  best 
weapons,  so  as  by  good  chance  every  honeebolder  being 
at  lioroe  Sunday  morning,  eager  as  lions,  made  shaw 
almoit  even  hke  to  the  nninb«r  of  the  said  oaptnini  and 
all  their  EoMiers :  bobs  the  captains  and  all  their  men 
l»eini(  arrayed,  and  there  upon  the  raid  heath,  the  said 
Capt.  Bartlcy  all  his  gentlemen  morcd  Mr.  Mayor  to 
order  all  in  good  part,  and  to  think  no  other,  but  all 
shall  be  well  and  quiet,  and  b\>  passed." 

It  is  worthy  of  remark  that,  except  for  the 
uniform,  the  townsmen  were  quite  as  ready  and 
well  prepared  for  action  as  tbe  trained  soldiers.

"  And  Cromwell  vith  deep  oaths  and  tows

Dr.  Stepren  Hai.es  (not  Hale)  {&^  S.  vii.  55, 
306). — Poets  are  permitted  to  take  very  consider- 
able liberties  with  family  names,  especially  when 
they  come  at  the  end  of  a  line,  and  therefore  are 
required  to  rhyme  with  some  other  word.  Hence 
in  the  well-known  lines  in  Pope's  epistle  to  Martha 
Blount,  entitled  Of  the  Characttn  of  iVomen, 
origioDlly  printed  in  1734-fi,  in  an  incomplete 
idmii  and  then  oonsistiDg  of  only  394  linei|  bat 


after  his  death,  in  1751,  printed  complete,  being 
then  S92  lines,  we  read : — 

"  Prom  Peer  or  Bishop  *l«  no  easy  thing 
To  draw  the  man  wlio  lores  his  Ood,  or  King; 
Alas  !  I  copy  (or  my  draught  would  MX) 
From  honest  M&h'mct,  or  plain  Parson  uale.'* 

Pope  could  not  write  Hales  as  a  rhyme  to  fail, 
but  we  all  know  whom  he  meant.  Mah'met  w:ts 
tho  personal  attendant  nnd  servant  of  King 
George  I.,  who  died  in  1726,  after  forty  years  of 
faithful  and  trusted  service,  "void  of  offence 
against  God  and  Man";  and  Hale  was  the  Rev. 
Stephen  Hales,  D.D.,  F.R.S.,  Foreign  Member  of 
the  French  Academy.  Let  him,  therefore,  he 
spoken  of  as  Stephen  Hules,  and  not  Stephen 
Hale.  Dr.  Hales,  younger  brother  of  Sir  Thonisi 
Hales,  Bart.,  of  Beaksbonrnc,  Kent,  was  one  of 
the  most  eminent  of  the  scientific  men  of  the  last 
century.  His  researches  into  the  physics  and 
chemistry  of  life  led  the  way  to  the  chief  discoveries 
of  Priestley,  Lavoisier,  and  all  the  other  great 
workers  jn  organic  chemistry,  and  entitle  him  to 
a  high  and  very  honourable  position  amongst  the 
ranks  of  the  scientific  pioneers  into  the  knowledge 
of  life.  He  was  appointed  minister  of  Tedding- 
ton  in  1709,  and  titled  that  office  for  fifty-one 
years,  and  declined  offers  of  church  preferment 
that  he  might  continue  to  derote  himself  to  his 
parish  duties  and  his  philosophical  studies.  On 
the  death  of  the  Prince  of  Wales,  the  princess 
made  him  her  almoner,  and  was  very  anxions  that 
he  should  become  preceptor  to  her  son,  afterwards 
George  III.;  but  other  influences  prevailed.  Dr. 
Hales  took  great  interest  in  his  church  of  Ted- 
dington  ;  he  built  the  north  aialo  in  1753,  and 
rebuilt  the  tower,  at  the  foot  of  which  be  was 
buried,  in  1761,  at  the  nge  of  eighty-four.  The 
Princess  of  Wales  caused  a  handsome  monnment 
to  his  memory  to  be  erected  in  Westminster 
Abbey.  AH  may  not  bo  willing  to  adopt  the  con- 
cluding lines  of  the  inscription, — 

"  Ille  opfrA  indagare  Bei,  nee  sera  vetustas 
Ijaudem,  Halese,  tuam  nee  titulos  minuet : 
Anglia  to  primis  iniertum  jactat  ahiranis, 
Attglia  Nowtono  terra  superba  suo  "; 

but  all  may  agree  with  the  more  modest  state- 
ment of  Bishop  Warburton,  "  not  more  estimable 
for  his  useful  discoveries  as  a  natural  philosopher 
than  for  his  exemplary  life  and  pastoral  charity 
as  a  parish  priest."  Dr.  Stephen  Hales  was  one 
of  the  attesting  witnesses  to  Pope*s  will ;  F.  0. 
snys,  "  I  hope  they  were  friends."  We  may  reason- 
ably take  Pope's  own  evidence  as  to  this.  He  says 
(Spence's  Anccdotfs),  "I  shall  be  very  glad  tx>  see 
Dr.  Hales  ;  and  always  love  to  see  hiui,  he  is  so 
worthy  and  good  a  man."  But  Pope  very  much 
disliked  the  doctor's  experiments  on  live  animals, 
and,  speaking  to  a  friend  on  the  subject,  said,  with 
emphasis  and  concern,  "  Indeed,  ho  commits  most 
of  these  barbarities  with  the  thought  of  being  o(

also  !ton>e(hing  about  cheehr,  or,  as  we  have  spelt 
it,  cJuquiTy  and  chMH-btnclf  as  Gornrd  has  it,  ai 
well.  The  name  of  eh4eH  for  the  fruit  of  the 
mallow,  which  certainly  is  "not  yet  obsolete," 
being  in  almost  universal  use,  is  clearly  enough 
au  allusion  to  its  shnpo.  Mr.  Muunt  should  not 
connect  two  thio(;>«  so  dissimilar  as  "the  clusters 
of  the  service  apple  and  millow  fruit."  CA««,  as 
our  book  shows,  enters  into  many  plant-names. 
Parkinson  (Paradisus)  speaks  of  Fritiliaria 
meUagrit  as  the  chequered  lily,  the  flowers  being 
"of  a  reddish  purple  colour, spotted  diversly  witb 
great  spots,  appearing  like  unto  square  chtckts^  of 
a  deeper  colour."  Jamis  Brittkit,

I  have  very  often  heard  children  in  Yorkshira 
call  the  seeds  of  the  mallow  chttset.  I  always 
thought  it  WAS  because  the  seeds,  when  separated, 
are  round  and  flut,  like  a  cheese.  I  am  now  in« 
clioed  to  think  it  is  from  c^eM=to  pile  up,  as 
they  are  packed  close  together.  The  expressioa 
your  correspondent  gives  in  (6),  viz.,  "  Three  ches 
chambre,"  leads  me  to  ask,  Does  not  the  term.  **o. 
chest  of  drawers,"  a  very  common  terra  every- 
where, come  from  the  same  root,  as  the  drawers 
arc  piled  up  one  over  the  other,  and  are  more  or 
less  in  number  f  I  cannot  see  that  the  Kame  chess 
can  have  anything  to  do  with  these  words.

As  the  question  of  authorship  has  excited  some

"  Since  all  the  downward  tracts  of  time 
God's  watchful  eye  surveya. 
Oh  1  who  ro  wise  to  choose  our  lot. 
And  regulate  our  ways  1 

"Since  none  can  doubt  hia  equal  love, 
Uiimeasurably  kind, 
To  liii  unerring  gracious  will 
Be  ef'ry  wiili  resigned.

•he  would  quench  it  in  water  and  placs  it  in  the 
bo.«oni  of  the  child's  dre^s.  The  fairies  were  thus

Pliny  refers  to  mif^bt  be  cited.  I  heard  of  a  nurse 
the  other  day,  a  Caithness  woman,  who  spat  after 
some  one  hod  looked  at  the  baby,  in  order,  sbe 
explained,  to  avert  the  "  evil  eye."  In  the  Hartz 
district  of  Germany,  if  the  cows  are  driven  before 
the  door  of  a  witch  the  herd  must  spit  thrice 
(Grimm).  Fishwouien  spit  for  luck  on  their 
hansel  (Grose).  A  boxer,  even  nowadays,  spits 
on  his  hands,  and  a  smith  shoeing  a  refractory 
horse  takes  the  same  precaution.  Scot,  in  his 
Vigcomrit  of  Witchcraft^  recommends  spitting 
into  the  shoe  of  one's  right  foot  to  ensure  safety 
from  mngic.  J.  W.  Croudib.

I  find  some  instances  of  this  in  VfstigeM  of 
Ancient  Manmr$  and  Cmlonii  in  Modern  Italy 
and  Sicily,  by  J.  J.  Blunt,  1823,  p.  164  :— 

"  Human  salivft  was  heretofore  very  frenerally  nfed  as 
a  chann  (Plin.,  N.  //.,  x.  52),  and  was  thought  particu- 
Inrly  efficacious  against  the  venom  of  poisonous  animalx. 
Pliny  quotes  some  autliorities  to  prove  that  the  pcroiciouii 
powers  of  toads  an  J  fro;!a  maybe  diearmed  bjr  tliis  meana, 
and  serpents  rendered  innoxious  bj  ppittlug  into  thi'ir

a'so  citel  to  show  that  tliere  were  peopi*  in  the  Helles- 
pont, ncHr  I'asiiini,  who  could  cure  tlio  bite  of  snakes  by 
their  sslira  (vii.  2).  ^'onr  it  is  curious  that  a  set  of  men 
exists  in  Sicily  to  thi»  day,  CiilU-d  Oiravoli,  win  iirofess 
to  heal  the  nounds  of  venomous  animnU  by  their  dpittle.

•  Dr.  Pltr6,ln  a  paper  headed  "I  CintuU"  (Blunfi 
OtravQti)  in  Arekivio  pir  h  Sindio  dttte  Traditiimi 


After  giving  at  length  a  very  curious  Btoiy  iUm- 
trativo  of  their  powers  he  proceeds: — ^'*In  ad- 
ministering baptism  the  priest,  among  other 
ceremonies,  moistens  a  napkin  with  his  own 
saliva,  and  then  touches  with  it  the  eyes  and 
nofie  of  the  child,  saying,  'Ephphatha.'*  It  wu 
with  a  similar  rite  that  Roman  infants  received 
their  names  on  the  'Dies  luBtricns.'" 

"  Ecce  avia,  aut  metuens  Divtim  matertera,  ennis 
Exemit  puerum:  frontemque  atqae  uda  labelU 
Infami  digito  et  luttralibui  ante  saltvi* 
Expial."  Persius,  Sat.  n.  31. 

Then  follow  three  pages  of  dissertation  on  oat 
Lord's  use  of  the  same  medium  in  restoring  the 
blind  and  deaf. 

I  am  reminded  of  another  use  of  spitting  as  a 
charm  b^  the  following  passage  in  Minioira  d 
Observattom  faitts  par  tin  Voyagtur  en  jin^/f- 
terrey  A  la  Haye,  1698  :— 

"  Une  pourvoyeuse  rae  disait  que  les  femmas  et  toatsi 
sortes  de  gens  qui  apportent  de  la  rulaille  au  maroli^,  da 
beurre,  des  oeufs,  &c.,  font  un  oas  lArticulier  de  I'ai^at 
qu'ils  Appellent  d'6trenne,  o'est-&,-dire  de  TargenC  qu'ili 
repoirent  de  la  premiere  vente  qu'ils  font  Its  le  baissnt 
en  le  recevant,  craekeM  dasHit  et  le  mettenk  dans  uu 
poche  &  part."— Pp.  192-3. 

I  have  myself  seen  the  London  flower  and  plant 
sellers  go  through  this  exact  ceremony,  saying, 
"That  will  be  for  ansel";  implying  "That  is  a 
good  earnest  of  my  day's  winnings."  I  have  heard 
French  market  women  similarly  invite  purchasers 
urgently  with  the  appeal  **  ^trennez-moi." 

Among  a  number  of  superstitions  collected  in 
Ireland  occurs  the  following  at  p.  264  of  the  same 
work : — 

"Si  vouB  parloz  d*un  do  leurs  cheviux,  il  faut  en 
mime  temps  cracker  dasuSf  ou,  si  lo  cheval  est  £loig<ii, 
dire,  Dieu  Ic  conserve ;  car  quand  on  oublie  une  de  ces 
deux  choses  lo  cheval  devient  souvent  malade ;  en  ce 
cas  celui  aui  en  est  la  cftuse  est  ob1ig6  de  venir  r£eit«r 
lo  PHter  Xoster  dans  roreillc  droite  du  cheval,  et  c«U 
le  gudrit." 

K.  H.  BasK. 

I  remember  the  late  Dr.  Wolflf  telling  roe  that 
when  he  went  into  Abyssinia  the  people  took  hiro 

/'o;io{(ir(,  fur  March,  1832,  says  that  this  name  is  given 
to  those  who  are  bom  on  the  eve  of  St.  Paul  (June  29 
or  January  2C),  and  that  on  account  of  that  saint's 
power  over  the  viper  at  Melita  they  are  believed  to 
be  proof  against  all  venomous  bites  and  stings,  having 
only  to  moisten  the  wound  with  tltelr  salivu  In  order 
to  cure  it.  "8otto  la  lingua  hanno,  dicimo,  un  mus- 
coletto  in  f<irma  di  ragno,  cbe  non  hanno  gli  altri  uomini, 
ma  cbo  difatti  e  una  o  ambedue  le  vene  ranine  piu  rile- 
vate  che  non  soglioiiocssere."  After  some  further  narra* 
tive  of  the  powers  ascribed  to  them,  he  proceede  to  bring 
to  bear  on  them  the  very  pnssagc  in  Pliny  cited  in  the 
text:  "Noi  vediamo  in  quc^to  persone  una  filiuione 
vivente  de*  sacerdoti  greci  del  dio  i^basio  e  de'  Piilii  del 
dintorni  di  Pario,  de'  quali  rsgiona  Plinio  "  (iV.,  n.  vil  Sn. 
He  also  mentions  Syracuse  and  Palatxolo  as  their  betd- 
qnarters.

(Madrid,  Admini^tracion.    Calle  de  Puencarral,  57; 

Libreria  Bailly  Bailliftre.  &c.) 
Tnis  learned  and  valuable  publication,  which  has  lately 
reached  our  hands,  has  entered  upon  a  new  series  with 
the  (tresent  year,  und  has  become  the  official  organ  of 
the  Faculty  if  Archivists.  Libratians,  and  Antiquaries 
of  Spain.  The  contents  of  the  numbers  before  us  are  of 
great  interest  alike  to  tho  historian,  the  philologist,  and 
the  arcbasologist,  and  should  serve  to  direct  the  attention 
of  oar  own  antiquaries  to  the  numerous  points  of  interest 
offered  by  the  story  of  the  early  ana  middle  ages  of 
Spain,  as  well  as  to  that  later  period  of  E^panish  history, 
also  illustrated  by  the  review,  when  Spanish  viceroys, 
regents,  and  dukes  tilled  the  high  placea  of  Italy  and  of 
the  Netherlands,  and  when  Lepanto  was  one  of  the  latest 
▼ictories  at  once  of  Spanish  generalship  and  of  the 
Christian  arms  over  the  dreaded  Turk. 

Mr.  HsKnT  W.  Aijmtt  has  sent  us  a  copy  of  his 
clab4»iite  paper  on  Tliomas  Chnrrhyard,  the  poet,  which 
he  has  recently  published  in  the  TraKiaetioM  of  the 
Shropshire  Archieological  Society.  We  have  sometimes 
heard  foreigners  and  Americans  charge  English  students 
with  neglect  of  minor  biography.  There  ii^  or  rather 
was,  much  truth  in  the  indiotmcnt.  Mr.  Adnitt  has  cei^ 
tidnly  done  not  a  little  to  remove  it  as  far  as  one  Bhmp- 
ahlre  worthy  Is  concerned.  A  man's  life  nuy  be  well 
worth  writing  though  h*  wii  not  %  great  pott,  or  eren 


second-rate  in  any  branch  of  letten.  We  have  read 
several  of  Churchyard's  productions,  and  have  found 
them  certainly  not  poetiy  of  a  high  class,  but  very 
amusing  and  instructive  notwithstanding.  The  chief 
interest  in  Churchyard  for  modem  readcre  Jiea  in  his 
constant  wanderings,  and  the  niotures  he  gives  from 
time  to  time  of  the  wars  in  the  Low  Countries,  in  which 
he  seems  to  have  been  frequently  mixed  up.  In  one  of 
his  books  he  gives  a  most  graphic  description  of  the 
pillage  of  the  great  church  at  Antwerp,  and  the  ri^t, 
or  rather  civil  war,  that  raged  there  for  some  time. 
The  slincking  scenes  which  took  pUce  on  that  occaiion 
are  well  known  to  students  of  the  history  of  the  Refor* 
mation.  It  is  not  fo  commonly  remembered  that 
Thomas  Churchyard,  the  Englishman,  was  a  prominent 
person  in  this  commotion,  and,  according  to  his  own 
account,  acted  vigoroui>ly  on  the  side  of  order.  Mr. 
Adnitt  has  compiled  a  list  of  the  writings  of  Thomtf 
Chtirebyard^  which  must  have  been  a  work  of  no  little 
labour.  It  is  evidently  done  with  great  care.  We  hone 
it  will  be  the  forerunner  of  a  complete  edition  of  toe 
poet's  works.  There  are  surely  a  sufficient  numlwr  ^ 
persons  who  care  for  the  literature  of  tho  reign  of 
Elizabeth  to  make  a  new  ifsue  of  these  very  rare  books 
a  not  unprofitable  venture.  Before,  howerer,  any  future 
editor  determines  that  he  hai  a  complete  catalogue  of 
Churchyard's  books  before  him,  inrjuiries  should  be  nuds 
of  the  librarians  of  the  Netherlands  and  Belgium. 
Churchyard  spent  so  much  of  his  wandering  life  in  ths 
RbineUnds  that  it  is  not  bj  any  means  improbable  that 
books  of  his  may  exist  there  which  have  perished  in  this 
country.

THH  LIBRARY  OF  MAGDALKX  COLLEGE, 

OXFORD. 
In  the  followiDg  notes  I  propose  to  give  a  short 
count  of  the  chief  MSS.  and  rare  print€d  booka 
our  college  library  (formerly  under  my  charge), 
lough  I  mako  no  pretence  to  do  more  than  in- 
icate  a  few  out  of  the  many  points  of  intereat 
hich  it  presents. 
The  college  aeems  from  the  time  of  its  founda- 
tion to  hare  possessed  n  library  ;  for  our  founder, 
Ii^iUiam  of  Woynfleto  (Bishop  of  Winchester, 
447-148C.  and  Lord  High  Chancellor,  145C- 
1460),  in  the  statutes  which  he  gave  to  his  society 
in  1479,  lays  down  many  minute  rules  as  to  the 
preaerration,  lending,  and  inspection  of  the  books 
presented  to  or  bought  by  the  ooUego.* 

At  present  the  library  occupies  that  portion  of 
the  culiege  buildings  which  ib  over  ibe  west  walk 
of  the  cloisters,  extending  from  the  angle  opposite 
the  New  Buildings  to  the  great  gateway  which 
leads  beneath  the  Founder's  Tower  to  St  Johu'd 
Qtiadrasgle.    It  is  composed  of  one  long  room, 


•  Kn  the  printed  copy  (Oxfonl,  ISM),  pp.  <;i-*2.  It 
may  be  mentioned  that  thia  edition  dilTdra  considerably 
from  &  MS,  cnpy  (now  kept  in  tlie  MB,  Hoom,  and  known 
Rs  the  Iioan  ol  PWtnity  «  copy)  wbich  bears  au  iiiscrip* 
lion  in  the  FouuJor'a  butdwhttng. 


L 


adjoining  which  two  smaller  rooms  contain  the 
natural  science  library,  in  great  part  the  gift  of 
tJie  late  Dr.  C.  G.  B.  Daubcny,  Fellow  of  the 
College  and  Professor  of  Rural  Economy  in  the 
University  (d.  I&G7),  whose  portrait  hangs  on  one 
of  the  walls.  Another  room  (known  as  the  Upper 
Library)  in  the  Founder's  Tower  is  filled  by  yarious 
special  collection?,  mainly  old  legal,  medical,  and 
historical  books^  together  with  many  sets  of  perio- 
dicals (more  or  less  complete),  a  selection  of 
Chinese  and  Swedish  works  (the  Utter  presented 
by  the  Ute  Rev.  W.  Palmer,  Fellow  of  the  OoUdge), 
and  a  number  of  volnmes  in  F  ench,  Italiao,  and 
Spanish,  presented  in  1626  by  Sir  Arthur  Throck- 
morton (son  of  Sir  Nicholas,  Elizabeth's  famous 
minister),  which  he  had  collected  in  the  course  of 
his  travels,  circa  1586. 

Opening  out  of  the  main  library  is  the  MS. 
Koom,  which  must  bo  oarofnlly  diatingitished  from 
the  Muniment  Room.  The  latter  is  situated  in  a 
tower  south  of  the  Founder's  Tower,  under  which 
is  the  ordinary  entrance  into  the  cloisters.  The 
treasures  of  the  Muniu:ent  Room  (strictly  speak* 
ing,  two  rooms,  one  above  the  other)  have  been 
calendared  by  the  Rev.  W.  D,  Macray,  the  resnlta 
of  his  labours  being  oontainod  in  forty-six  small 
obloDi;  Yolnmes  of  MS.  slipi  deposited  in  the 
MS.  Room.*  He  has  also  published  an  abstract 
of  this  calendar  in  the  Reports  of  the  Historical 
MSS.  Comiuission  {Fonrlh  Rtport,  pp.  458-465  ; 
Eighth Tieport,pp.2G2-W9),iknd  has  included  much 
roost  interesting  and  valuable  information  in  his 
NoU*  from  the  Muniments  of  iS'f.  Mary  Magdaien 
ColUge,  Oxford^  from  tU  Twelfth  to  Uie  Sivm- 
ttentk  Ctntnry  (Oxford,  Parker,  1882).  Both  the 
college  and  all  historioiil  students  are  much  in- 
debted to  Mr.  Macray  for  hia  unwearying  labour 
of  love,  which  extended  over  m&oy  years,  and  ha« 
for  the  first  time  made  clear  the  enormous  import - 
anca  and  value  of  our  muniments,  the  number  of 
which  is  estimated  at  13,(XH),  including  sixteen 
original  Papal  bulls,  many  papers  of  Sir  John 
Fastolf  (of.  Gairdner's  edition  of  the  Patton  Liitiir»t 
vol.  ii.  p.  5),  and  ooantless  charters,  grants,  and 
leases. 

But  it  is  not  the  object  of  this  paper  to  describe 
the  muniments  of  the  college,  and  I  propose  to 
notice  first  the  contents  of  the  MS.  Room,  and

then  those  printed  hooka  which  seem  to  he  tpe- 
cially  interesting. 

1.  The  MS.Boom.~UeTethw{dii  MSS. proper 
and  some  early  printed  hooks,  have  heen  deposited 
many  papers  and  docaments  connected  with  the 
history  of  the  college,  e.g.,  the  original  papers 
relating  to  the  expulsion  of  the  President  and 
Fellows  by  James  II.  in  1C67,  including  the  Bat- 
tery Book,  in  which  the  names  of  the  intruded 
President  and  Fellows  are  found  crossed  from  the 
week  Oct.  SO-7, 1688.  Here,  also,  are  the  original 
cartuUry  of  the  Priory  of  Sele,  in  Sussex  (annexed 
to  the  college  in  1474),  and  an  ancient  "  terrier" 
of  the  Hospi^  of  St.  John,  chiefly  referring  to 
Oxford.  We  find  also  a  packet  of  papers  belong- 
ing to  President  Accepted  Frewen  (consecrated 
1643  to  the  see  of  Lichfield  in  the  college  chapel, 
and  translated  to  York  in  LG60},  and  receired  by 
him  OS  Vice-Ghancellor  of  the  UniTerstty,  Mr. 
Macray  has  described  the  contents  of  this  packet 
(Fourth  licport,  p.  404),  and  it  may,  therefore, 
suffice  to  say  that  they  include  documents  with 
the  sign  manual  of  Charles  I.  (dated  at  Windsor, 
September  1  of  Uie  fifth  year  of  his  reign),  and 
with  the  autographs  of  Juxon  (as  President  of  St. 
John's  College),  Brian  Duppa,  Bancroft  (as  Master 
of  University),  Zouche  (Professor  of  Civil  Law  and 
Principal  of  St  Edmund's  Hall),  and  Laud  (as 
Bishop  of  London  in  1629).  A  carious  paper 
which  has  found  its  way  into  this  packet  ia  a 
letter  to  Uie  university  from  Frederick,  the  Elector 
Palatine  (the  "  Winter  King  "  of  Bohemia),  dated 
Sept  3, 1626,  in  which  he  requests  certain  favours 
to  be  granted  to  some  students  from  the  Pala- 
tinate. Two  other  packets  contain  papers 
relating  to  university  affairs  at  the  end  of  the  six- 
teenUi  centnry.  A  bound  volume  contains  a 
number  of  letters  ranging  from  1460  onwards,  of 
which  many  are  addressed  to  the  founder  and  the 
early  presidents  of  the  college ;  and  one  is  from 
Henry  VII.,  in  which  heappuiuts  President  May- 
hew  his  procurator- general  at  Home.  There  is 
also  an  autograph  of  John  Hough,  President  1G87 
(in  1690  Bishop  of  Oxford,  of  Lichfield  1C90,  and 
of  Worcester  1717).  But  the  gem  of  the  volume 
ia  a  letter  from  Cicely,  Duchess  of  York  (daughter 
of  Ralph  Nevill,  Karl  of  Westmoreland,  wife  of 
Bicfaard,  Duke  of  York,  mother  of  Edward  IV. 
and  Kichard  III.),  to  the  Founder,  praying  for  the 
admission  of  a  proUgi  as  a  scholar  of  "  your  noble 
college."  The  letter  is  dated  October  1 1  only,  but 
must  have  been  written  between  1458  (date  of 
the  foundation  of  the  college)  and  14S6  (date  of 
Waynflete's  death) ;  it  is  in  a  secretary's  hand 
except  the  signature,  which  is  believed  to  be  the 
only  extant  autograph  of  the  lady  in  question. 
Mr.  Macray  has  printed  this  letter  at  full  length 
{Eiahih  Heporij  p.  268). 

To  oome  now  to  the  MSS.  proper.  They  h^ve 
^een  examiood  and  pfttalogued  by  the  late  Kev. 


H.  0.  Ooxe  (Bodley's  librarian)  in  hU  CatalcfUi 
Codd.  MSS.  qui  in  ColUgiit  Aul\»qytt  OjconteniioNf 
hodit  aditrxanH^r  (Clarendon  Press,  1658);  and 
though  there  are  a  few  slitM  in  the  part  ndating  to 
our  library,  I  shall  take  this  work  as  my  anthmtr 
for  the  dates  of  the  different  MSS.  to  be  desoribM 
below. 

There  are  sixteen  Greek  MSS.  Those  nnmbered 
1,  3,  4,  6,  7,  containing  the  worlu  of  Tariona  tcAh 
siasUcal  writers,  are  attributed  to  the  eleventh 
century.  On  the  verso  of  foL  235  of  No.  4  is  ao 
inscription  from  which  we  learn  that  the  MS^ 
was  partly  transcribed  in  1064  by  "  Michael  the 
Deacon."  No.  7  contains  sevenU  of  St  Faal's 
Epistles.  No.  15  is  the  only  Greek  MS.  of  Aris- 
totle's De  Intcrpretaiioue  which  is  now  to  bs 
found  in  Oxford. 

The  Latin  MSS.  (or  more  properly  the  non- 
Greek  MSS.,  as  they  include  Latin,  French, 
Italian,  and  English  MSS.)  are  247  in  numbo. 
Of  these  two  stand  far  above  all  the  otheia 
One  I  have  already  described  in  these  ptga 
(6""  S.  liL  181,  202,  222,  240);  it  is  No.  93, 
a  recension  of  the  Imitatio  Chivii  (here  called 
Miisica  Ecclesiattica),  transcribed  in  1438  by 
John  Dygoun,  that  is,  three  years  before  the 
drliest  MS.  which  has  a  genuine  inscription  in 
which  the  name  of  Thomas  h  Eempia  occurs. 

The  extreme  interest  and  importance  of  ths 
other  have  only  recently  heen  discovered.  It  is 
No.  172,  the  Gesta  Pontificum  of  William  of 
Malmesbury.  Mr.  N.  E.  S.  A.  Hamilton,  when 
editing,  in  1870,  this  work  for  the  Rolls  Seriei^ 
was  led  to  the  conviction  that  our  MS.  wu 
William's  own  autograph  copy,  both  became  of 
the  hundwriting  and  from  the  nature  of  the 
erasures,  interlineations,  and  marginal  addition*, 
which  are  such  as  would  only  have  been  made  by 
an  author  himself.  It  is  a  small  quarto  Tolame  of 
103  folios,  written  in  a  singularly  clear,  but  somc- 
wh;\t  cramped  hand  of  the  earlier  portion  of  the 
twelfth  century,  and  despite  the  erasures,  &e., 
is  a  fine,  clean  MS.  Mr.  Hamilton  (Prtrfaee,  j\ 
note  3)  conjectures,  from  a  shelf-mark  on  the  fir>t 
folio  in  a  fourteenth  century  hand,  that  it  ooca 
belonged  to  the  great  abbey  of  Bury  St.  Edmundis 
thou^rh  not  mentioned  by  Leland  as  being  there 
in  ir>33  ;  and  from  n  word  on  the  same  lesf  that 
it  was  later  the  property  of  Archbishop  ITssher, 
after  whose  death  (1656)  it  was  probably  sold  with 
the  rest  of  his  library.  It  does  not  seem  to  have 
been  in  its  present  resting-place  in  IGOO,  but  ii 
mentioned  as  being  there  in  the  CJatalogus  MSS. 
Anglia  et  Hxhernitc  of  1C97.  The  facsimiles pnb- 
lished  by  Mr.  Hamilron  give  a  voiy  good  idea  ofthis 
precious  little  volume.  Numbers  60,  77,  79,  U-i, 
1 77  have  all  belonged  to  nr  were  transcribed  bj 
John  Dygoun,  and  have  been  described  in  my 
ptppr  on  No.  03  (6'»  S.  iii.  222).  Severul  M99L

A  Gift  akd  AuTOORApn  of  Pope.— Literary 
men  of  erery  class  will  welcome  anything  entirely 
new  abont  Alexander  Pope,  the  poet,  and  none 
the  less  that  it  comes  from  a  distant  and  unlikely 
quarter.  In  the  NorUurn  Enngn  of  April  19 
tnere  is  an  admiiable  rejoioder  to  a  preTious  letter 
about  a  scarce  book  written  at  the  beginning  of 
the  seventeenth  century  by  John  Abemethy, 
Bishop  of  Caithness — A  Christian  Trtatite  con- 
taining Phyxicfor  the  Sottl.  A  copy  of  the  second 
edition,  published  in  London  in  1622,  and  sold  by 
John  Budge,  St.  Paul's  Churchyard,  at  the  sign  of 
the  Green  Dragon,  survives  in  the  Glasgow  Uni- 
versity Library,  while  the  Wick  correspondent 
announces  his  possession  of  a  copy  of  the  third 
edition,  entitled  A  Christian  and  Heavenly 
Treatise^  &c.,  by  M.  [or  Master]  J.  Abernethy, 
late  Bishop  of  Caithness,  and  for  sale  at  the  shop 
of  Robert  Allot  in  St.  Paul's  Churchyard,  at  the 
sign  of  the  Black  Bear,  the  date  being  1630.  It 
is  probable  these  are  the  sole  copies  of  a  work 
that  is  unusually  excellent  in  its  kind,  with  many 
reminders  of  tho  contemporary  book,  Barton*8 
Anatomy  of  Afelancholyj  in  its  quaint,  learned,

an  iD'Scription  as  this  to  begin  viih:  "Ex  dono 
AlexrL  Pope,  armigeri,  Twickenham,  Jalii  6Ul 
1732." 

Pope  was  forty-four,  in  the  hei};ht  of  his 
fame,  when  he  gifted  this  book  to  his  namesake^ 
the  Rev.  Alexander  Pope,  minister  of  Beay  from 
1734  to  17S2,  the  bea\t.  ideal  of  the  musculsr 
Christian,  then  and  there  so  appropriate.  In 
Camithers's  Life  of  the  poet  the  visit  of  the 
northern  stalwart  Pope  to,  possibly,  his  relatioB, 
physically  feeble  enough,  is  mentioned.  He  rode 
the  whole  distance  on  a  Highland  pony,  and  it  if 
said  there  that  he  took  back  with  him  in  1732  a 
presentation  "  copy  of  the  subscription  edition  of 
the  Odyssey  in  five  volumes  qoarto."  The  date 
proves  that  to  this  considerable  burden  was  alio 
added  M.  Yertot's  Hiaiory.  But  books  were  sm^ 
estates  then,  and  the  northern  pilgrim  was  aliteraiy 
and  archaeological  enthusiast  as  well  as  on  energetJe 
and  honoured  pastor.  The  children  of  the  manse 
have  made  free  use  of  the  fly-leaves,  in  the  follow- 
ing and  other  forms :  "  Hary  Pope ;  ^enriei 
Popei,  Reay,  1756  ;  William  Pope,  mtnor,  1762 ; 
Charles  Pope ;  Miss  Abigail  Pope ;  M.  Abi 
Munro,  spouse  to  Colonel  David  Sinclair."  Thera 
can  be  no  doubt  of  the  story  of  these  two  interest- 
ing volumes  for  the  fifty  years  after  their  leaving 
Twickenham.  How  or  where  they  have  been  pr^ 
served  for  the  subsequent  century  that  has  elapsed 
would  be  interesting  to  know.  The  Rev.  James 
Pope  became  his  father's  assistant,  but  seems  to 
have  died  before  or  shortly  after  his  leamcMl  father, 
tho  Bev.  David  Mackay  being  settled  there  on 
April  8, 1783.  The  Henricus  of  the  bUnk  spaces 
was  born  in  February,  1739  ;  William,  the  eulest, 
on  April  5, 1736 ;  and  an  Alexanders  birthday 
was  November  7, 1737.  These  dates'are  from  the 
parish  records,  now  at  Edinburgh  in  the  Register 
House,  and  they  are  the  more  interesting  that 
they  are  in  tho  extremely  beautiful  handwriting 
of  Mr.  Pope  himself,  who  was  the  first  to  begin  a 
register  in  the  parish.  It  was  by  his  efforts  also 
that  the  present  church  and  now  vacated  manse 
were  built,  begun  respectively  in  1738  and  1740, 
In  the  building  up  of  his  congregation  he  did  some 
of  his  most  effective  work  by  penonal  and  always 
victorious  contest.  That  he  had  mental  vigour 
equally  is  shown  by  his  translation  from  the  Latin 
of  a  portion  of  the  Orcades  of  the  Danish  historian 
Torfacus,  who  was  born  in  1636  and  educated  at 
the  university  of  Copenhagen.  The  Appendix 
No.  V.  in  Pennant's  ToKr,  giving  an  acconnt 
of  the  antiquities  and  statistics  of  the  seveial 
parishes  of  Caithness  and  Sutherland,  was  written

Amolo-Saxoh  Ncuerals. — Many  persons  who 
bare  some  acqiiaiotnnce  with  Anglo-Saxon  must 
hare  felt  puzzled  at  the  curious  use  of  the  prefix 
Auii^-  befuro  certain  numerals.  If  we  write  out 
the  nutiibcni  10,  20,  30,  &■:,,  up  to  12(i  in  Anjjlo- 
Saxou^  the  series  is  /^ri,  twmtigt  thrittig^  fttitcerlig, 
&&;  or,  expreasiDfi;  the  same  as  nearlv  as  possible 
in  modern  English  Hpellint;,  we  Ret  the  series  Un, 
ttoenhjf  ihirty,  foriift  Ji/ty,  nxfy,  kund'$f.tmty, 
hmtilttyhtiit  hnnd-nindy,  hand  (idso  humlrttl)* 
hitnthdtvrutij^  and  fiually  hutid-ttvelcety  (also 
c:»llpd  httnit-ticaity).  As  to  the  tne.nnint;  of  fmnd 
there  is  no  dispute  ;  it  means  (/t'm</^,  and  in  merely 
»hort  for  Goth,  iehiind,  jtist  as  Latin  f/utum  i» 
•htirt  for  dccmtnnt.  But  the  point  U,  why  should 
the  addition  of  the  prefix  hmtd-  begin  with  the 
niinjcrjil  $tr(nttf  mtlier  than  nt  any  other  point? 
The  answer  ia,  simply,  that  this  reckoninjr  refers 
to  a  timo  when  what  is  still  called  "the  great 
hundred,"  iiic^aning  thereby  120,  was  in  common 
uw.  Tho  half  of  120  is  60;  and  up  to  60  uU  is 
•triii^cht  forward.  Ittic  after  passinf;  GO  wo  ooiue 
to  a  reckoning  of  tho  latter  half  of  the  12o,  involv- 
ing hiKher  numbers,  and  probably  regarded  as 
requiring  greater  ellort  to  secure  acctmKy.  These 
hi>{her  numbers  were,  of  course,  in  less  frequent 
use  than  the  lower  ones,  and  the  prefix  served  to 
Tuark  Ihe  »en>ie  (hat  (>0,  the  half  of  120,  hud  been 
reached,  and  that,  tlic  reckoning  of  the  second  half 
htul  be;*un.  Hence  the  prefix  was  continued 
throughout,  with  the  necessary  introduciion  of  the 
curious  words  eUventf/  and  twefvtttjt  which  are  per- 
fectly legiliniate  formations,  and  were  once  in 
actual  n*e.  The  raoit  curious  u-^e  of  the '*  jjreat 
hundred"  which  I  remember  to  have  met  with  is 
in  Kiizhcrbert'a  liuibandry  (E.D.S.,  p.  41),  where 
the  ajmbol  '*0''  ia  actually  used  to  denote,  not 
lt)0,  but  120. 

This  vonsidemtion  of  reckoning  by  the  "great 
huodnd  **  is  the  obvious  explanation  of  the  French 
bumends  also.  The  reckt>tiiug  is  regular  up  to

Oambridge, 

The  Scekk  or  "Lcct  Grat.'^— In  one  of  th« 
editions  of  Wordsworth's  work)  the  scene  of  thi« 
ballad  is  said  to  have  been  near  Ualifur,  in  York- 
shire. I  do  not  think  the  poet  was  acquainted 
with  the  locality  beyond  a  sight  of  the  country  in 
travelling  through  on  some  journey.  I  know  of  no 
spot  where  all  the  little  incidents  mentioned  in  tho 
poem  would  exnctly  fit  in,  and  a  few  of  the  local 
allusions  are  evidently  by  a  stranger.  There  is  no 
"minster";  the  church  at  Halifax  from  time  im- 
memorial has  always  been  known  as  the  "  parish 
church,"  and  sometimes  as  the  "old  church,"  but 
h'u  never  been  styled  '*  the  minster/'  The  "moua- 
tain  rue,"  which  of  course  may  be  brought  in  ai 
poetically  illustrative,  has  not  be«n  seen  on  these 
hills  for  generations,  and  I  scarcely  think  even 
tho  "  fawn  nt  play  "  for  more  than  a  hundred  years. 
These  misiippiicntions,  it  is  almost  annecessary  to 
say,  do  not  detract  from  the  beauty  of  the  poetr}*. 
Soiue  of  (he  touches  are  graphically  true  to  the 
ucighbourhooJ,  as,  for  instance,  "  the  wide  moor," 
tho  "many  a  hill,"  the  "steep  hill's  edge,"  the 
"long  stone  wall,"  and  the  hint  of  the  general 
loneliness  of  the  region  where  Lucy  "  no  mate,  no 
comrade,  knew."  t  think  I  can  point  out  the 
exact  spot— no  longer  a  "plank,"  but  a  broad,  safe 
bridge— where  Lucy  fell  into  the  water.  Taking 
a  common-sense  view,  that  she  would  not  be  aent 
many  miles  at  two  o'clock  on  a  winter  afternoon  to 
the  town  (Halifax,  of  course},  over  so  lonely  a 
mouutain  moor— bearing  in  mind  alno  that  this 
moor  overlooked  the  river,  and  that  the  river  woa 
deep  and  strong  enough  to  carry  the  child  down 
the  current — I  know  only  one  place  where  such  an 
accident  could  havo  occurred.  The  clue  ia  in  thi4 
verae: — 

*' Ai  daybreak  on  a  hill  they  stood 

That  overluokcil  tho  nivor, 
And  thoiicc  they  saw  tho  bridge  of  wood, 

A  furlong  from  the  door.'* 

The  hill  I  take  to  be  the  high  ridge  of  Gr«etland 
and  Norland  Moor,  and  the  plonk  she  had  to  cross 
Sterne  Mill  Bridge,  which  there  apans  the  Calder, 
broad  and  rapid  enough  at  any  season  to  drown 
cither  a  young  girl  or  n  grown-up  person.  The

nay,  of  Powderhani,  did  marry  William  Beaumont, 
and  afterwards  Henry  Bodrugan,  and  that  the  atory 
of  her  life  is  an  unfortunate  history,  to  which  we  need 
"not  now  allude.  Shield  No.  3  would  exactly  repre- 
sent her  arms  impaled  by  those  of  her  husband, 
the  plates  on  her  label  being  received  as  strictly 
distinctive  of  the  Powderham  branch,  though  on 
shield  No.  2  they  equally  occur  in  the  arms  of  Sir 
Hugh  of  BoconnoG,  who  was  of  a  different  branch 
of  the  Courtenay  family.  Yet,  taking  this  shield 
in  connexion  with  the  other  two  in  the  same  win- 
dow, I  still  believe  it  is  meant  to  represent  the 
marriage  of  Sir  Hugh  of  Haccombe  and  Margaret 
Bnnmont, 

I  cannot  admit  that  shield  No.  1  can  by  any 
possibility  represent  the  arms  of  Joan  Courtenay 
and  her  second  husband.  Sir  Robert  de  Vere. 
There  is  no  reason  why  it  should  not  contain  the 
arms  of  their  son  John  Vere,  who  would  properly 
quarter  Vere  and  his  mother's  assumed  coat  Arche 


colouring,  and  no  doubt  the  secret  of  these  shields 
is  to  be  found  in  the  history  of  the  descent  of  pro- 
perty in  Wolborough.  I  can  only  find  in  Lysons 
(p.  666)  that  Wolborough  belonged  to  Torre  Abbey 
until  the.  dissolution  of  the  monasteries,  and  x 
cannot  but  believe  that  these  shields  illustrate  the 
descent  of  Archedekne  property  in  that  pariah. 

Since  writing  the  above  Z  have  been  to  Wol- 
borough, and  there,  in  a  window  in  the  sooth  aisle, 
opposite  to  the  window  under  discussion,  I  found 
six  shields,  occupying  the  upper  compartmentf, 
which  greatly  corroborate  my  idea.  They  are  as 
follows,  beginning  from  the  left  or  east  end  (I 
carry  on  the  numerals  from  the  other  window). 
4.  A  shield  with  monogram  J.  C.  5.  Gules,  two 
bends  wavy  or  (Briwere,  the  founder  of  Torre 
Abbey).  6.  Gules,  three  Incies  haurient  arg.,  im- 
paling Archedekne.  7.  Sable,  six  swallows,  3,  S,  1, 
arg.  (Arundell),  impaling  Archedekne.  8.  Qaa^ 
terly  gules  and  or,  in  the  first  quarter  a  mnUet 


dekue ;  and  there  is  every  reason  why   a  wife  I  arg. — the  mullet  is  very  indistinct,  bot  from  the 


should  not  quarter  her  husband's  arms  with  her 
own,  for  at  that  date  {circa  1470)  quarterings  | 
always  show  descent,  and  not  alliance,  and  I  ; 
challenge  Mr.  Roobrs  to  produce  any  instance  of  | 
A  wife  quartering  her  husband's  arms,  with  the  { 
exception  of  the  well-known  and  much  earlier  < 
example  of  Queen  Philippa  of  Hainault. 

I  quite  agree  with  Mb.   Kooebs   that  these 
matters  should  be  studied  with  reference  to  local ' 


gallery  can  be  more  clearly  made  out — (De  Vere),

Tie  secoDtl  wiodow  I  bcliere,  M  Buggo^ted  by 
the  moDojrrams,  to  have  b«en  put  np  uot  earlier 
than  1450  by  Joane  Courtenay,  then  do  A'e», 
and  Walter  Lucy,  or,  more  likely  (if  the  will  of 
14-14  bo  liiB,  ftDd  proved,  not  dated,  that  year), 
by  his  son  William,  tbe  two  representatives  of 
the  Archedeknes ;  ami  the  first  window  by  John 
Vere,  not  earlier  than  1473,  and  after  the  death  of 
bU  pnrents.  Mj  reasons  for  fixini;  the  Litter  date 
are  that  he  would  hardly  have  put  up  hia  arms  while 
he  was  under  age,  and  he  could  not  have  been 
born  till  1451;  while  I  conclude  his  parents  were 
dead,  becjiuso  had  his  father  been  alive  he  would 
faave  borne  a  label,  and  had  his  mother  survived 
he  would  not  have  Quartered  her  anna  with  bia 
own.  Why  be  should  have  oeaociated  hta  arms 
with  those  (presumably)  of  hia  step-grand mother 
and  Ids  half-aunt  by  marriage  I  cannot  gneu, 
unless  he  had  to  pay  them  dower  or  jointure  out 
of  lands  at  Wolborouf;h. 

With  regard  to  Ashwater,  Mr.   RooERa   dow 
seems  to  think  with  mo  that  the  e&i>;y  there  repre- 
sents Thomas  Carminow,  and  also  that  Margaret 
Curminow,   an  a  widtfwed   heiress,   put  her  own 
arms  in  the  place  of  her  husband's  ;  but  to  show 
that  she  was  juatiHed  in  doioj;  so  we  roust  produce 
other  instances  of  similar  infractions  of  *'  receircd 
rules  "  (rules  received,   of  course,  at  the  date  of 
^leir  infruotioD)  by  ladies  in  like  poaUious,     This 
B  tried  to  do  in  my  first  note.     I  regret  that  no 
"other  instance  has  jel  been  brought  forward. 

As  Mr.  Rogrrs  has  been  glad  of  ibui  oppor- 
tunity to  give  a  more  full  account  of  Ashwater 
Cbarch,  may  I  ask  him  to  corroct  the  marvellous 
description  (on  p.  232  of  his  book)  of  the  shield  at 
Barnstaple  Priory,  which  really  coutaios  the  arms 
of  Henry  Stafford.  Earl  of  Wiltshire,  K.O..  second

Old   Clocks   (O"-  3.  vii.  165,  237.  257).— I 
omitted  in  my  last  paper  to  mention  two  other 
large   ancient   clocks, — one,   in  tho   cathedral  at 
£xeter,  which  has    a   carious  complicated  astro- 
nomical dial,  somewhat  resembling  that  at  Wells, 
aod   is  still  in  action  ;    tho  other  at   St.  Mary 
Steps,  in  the  same  city ;  but  Ihey  are  not  in  their 
original    condition,     having    been    repaired    and 
altered  from  time  to  time,  and  their  movements 
are    now  .idapted    to   nendaluma.     There  is  also 
another    remarkable   clock    at    Leeds  Castle,    in 
^enr-,  the  seal  of  Mr.  C.  Wykcham  Martin,     It 
M  within  tho  castle,  but  has  uo  dial.    It  strikes 
^n  a  bell  bearing  the  date  1435,  which  seems  to 
Urn  the  probable  date  of   tbe  clock,  and  on  that 
BbU  tbe  curfew  is  rung  every  night  at  eight  o'clock 
— a  costom  which  has  been  kept  np  ever  since  the 
castle  WM  built,  about  ISHO.    The  striking  part  of 
the  clock  is  in  its  original  condition,  bub  the  going 
irt  bus  beoD  altered  to  adapt  ib  to  a  pcndalam. 


part  iii 


There  can  hardly  be  a  doubt  that  many,  if  not 
most,  of  the  ancient  abbeys,  cathedrul>i,  and  catties 
had  similar  clocks,  but  that,  like  the  celobwted 
clock  of  Richard  Wallingford  at  St.  Albans,  they 
havo  been  destroyed  ;  and  I  think  it  very  pro- 
bable that  much  informatioa  might  be  gained  on 
the  subject  if  the  fabric  rolls  of  tbecatbednUs  were 
examined  with  th-it  object. 

These  were  all  fixed  clocks  of  large  size ;  bat  w« 
now  come  to  iho  domestic  or  indoor  house  clocks, 
which  were  of  smaller  size,  and  not  permanent 
fixtures,  but  movable,  being  bung  up  against  a 
wall  or  set  upon  a  bracket,  with  (be  weights  and 
chains  hanging  down,  generally  exposed.  These 
clocks,  though  not  absolute  fixtures,  ooald  not 
conveniently  be  moved  or  carried  about.  They 
must  have  come  into  use  in  the  Bfteenth  century  ; 
but,  with  the  exception  of  that  already  mentioned, 
I  have  never  seeu  a  clock  of  that  description  so 
early  us  IMK),  uuJ  it  is  a  curious  thing  wh:tt  has 
beoome  of  them.  Some  were  richly  and  highly 
ornamented,  for  I  am  now  silling  before  a  very  fine 
large  and  early  picture  of  St.  Jerome  in  bis  study, 
a  work  of  about  1500,  beautifully  and  minutely 
executed  ;  and  here  is  represented,  banging  against 
tho  wall  above  hia  head,  an  extremely  elegant 
clock,  with  weight  and  counterpoise  hanging  from 
it.  The  cose  of  the  clock  is  apparently  of  gilt 
metal  of  most  elegant  form,  elaborately  orna- 
mented with  a  beautiful  rich  and  delicate  cinque 
cento  design.  The  hour  circle  is  apparently  of 
white  metal,  and  tbe  centre  of  tho  dial  is  red. 
This  s«ema  to  show  what  the  style  of  room  clocks 
was  at  that  time  ;  but  none  of  them  seems  to  hare 
come  down  to  us,  certainly  none  has  come  over 
here,  and  I  do  not  remember  to  have  seen  any  in 
continental  museums  ;  but  it  is  now  many  years 
since  I  have  travelled,  and  the  museums  may  aU 
hare  beea  rearranged  and  new  antique  objects 
brought  out  and  displayed.  I  am,  however,  fortu- 
nately in  possession  of  one  small  hanging  clock, 
but  that  is  of  the  sixteenth  century.  That  ami 
the  beautiful  clock  at  Windsor  Castle  made  for 
Ajine  Boleyn  are  tbe  only  two  weight  clocks  that 
I  can  call  to  mind. 

The  domestic  clocks  divide  themselves  into  two 
classes,  those  which  go  by  weights,  and  those  of 
which  the  motive  power  is  a  coiled  spring,  which 
was  nob  applied  till  about  1500;  and  these  spring 
clocks  form  the  class  of  chamber  and  table  clocka. 
The  weight  clocks,  which  the  dealers  are  apt  to  call 
fifteenth  century  clocks,  are,  in  fact,  the  work  of  tho 
sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries — at  least,  I 
have  never  heard  of  one  earlier.  The  description  of 
these  clocks  has  been  given  so  accurately  in 
"K  &  Q.,"  C*  S.  vii.  160,  by  Mr.  Saltrr,  that 
it  is  useless  to  repeat  it.  But  there  is  something 
remarkable  about  them.  They  arc  peculiarly  Eng- 
lish; they  are  all  made  of  brass,  and  precisely 
simLhu  in  form  and  design ;  and  ihs^  ua.*^  Vk

have  been  cant  upon  the  world  suddenly  and  early 
in  the  aixteenlh  century,  and  to  have  lasted  uu- 
changed  for  nearly  two  ceDlaries.  All  cIocU- 
miikers  at  that  time  seem  to  bavo  adopted  the 
Sfttno  pattern,  and  to  have  prefierred  it  without 
any  variation,  and  with  similarity  of  form, 
nieclianism,  and  ornnment,  as  tbongh  they  had 
worked  to  n  regulation  pattern.  I  cannot  help 
fancying  that  there  may  have  been  a  large  ninnu- 
fnctory  or  brass  foundry,  in  London  or  some  other 
place,  where  the  fnmies  and  bellt  were  all  cast, 
from  which  the  clockmakers  in  liondon  and  all 
over  the  country  were  supplied  with  the  rarious 
parts  of  clocks,  which  they  fitted  together,  ra  they 
are  from  ('Ictkenwell  and,  I  think,  Coventry  nt 
the  present  day  ;  for  it  is  difficult  to  understand 
bow  every  country  clockmuker  should  have  coat, 
tUTDed,  and  urnde  bis  own  brass  fruiues  and  dials 
precisely  sirailur  to  those  of  all  the  other  clock- 
makers  in  London  and  oil  the  provincial  towns. 
And  I  am  strongly  disposed  to  tbtok  that  the  manu- 
facture of  clocks  and  clockwork  was  ab  that  time, 
early  in  (he  sixteenteeth  century,  established  at 
Clerkcnwell,  and  that  the  country  clockmakers 
were  supplied  from  there  ;  and  thus  Clerkenwell 
has  continued  to  be  the  great  manufactory  for 
clocks  to  the  present  time.  This  idea  is,  I  think, 
somewhat  borne  out  by  the  fact  of  the  exact  re- 
sembljince  of  so  many  of  the  perforated  brass 
ornamental  plates,  above  the  dials  and  sides  of 
these  clocks,  to  conceal  the  bells,  which  form  a  cupola 
at  the  top.  One  common  pattern  has  two  dol- 
phins with  intertwined  tails  ;  another  has  a  small 
square-shaped  escutcheon  in  the  centre ;  whilst  a 
third    has    only  pierced  scroll-work.     The  front 

fdate  is  frequently  engraved,  the  side-pieces  being 
eft  plain.  Some  clocks  have  the  name  of  the 
maker,  the  name  of  the  town,  and  the  date  engraved 
on  the  front,  and  some  on  the  dial  *  and  if  a  col- 
lection of  these  particulars  could  be  made,  we 
might  leum  something  from  them.  If  any  persons 
having  such  clock?,  with  the  clockmakcr'a  name, 
place,  and  date,  would  kindly  take  the  trouble  to 
send  them  to  me,  stuting  at  the  time  the  nature  of 
the  esc-apcment,  whether  a  verge  and  balance  or 
pendulum,  I  would  endeavour  to  orraoge  and  class 
them,  and  send  the  result  in  a  tabular  form  to 
"N.  ftQ." 

Kow  with  regard  to  the  "roovements'*  of 
these  clockp.  All  clocks  made  before  1660 
had  an  escapement  consisting  of  a  crown-wheel 
and  a  vertical  verge  with  a  horizontal  balance. 
In  1661,  Ahaauerus  Fromantil,  a  Dutch  clock- 
maker  settled  in  London,  first  made  clocks 
with  short  pendulums,  which  he  exhibited  iu 
I/>Ddoa  in  (hat  year,  creating  a  sensation  iu  iho 
town,  for  all  pcoplo  went  to  ttc  hU  clocks.  Tbia 
was  effected  by  iuLrcducing  n  coulmtc-wbee),  by 
means  of  which  the  crown-wheel  and  its  verge 
if^e^we  hifmoaU},  0ud  a  short  pcudulum  with 


;b  two  J 

I  ol  151 1 


small  bob  was  nSlxed  to  the  end  of  the  ver^e.!! 
These  pendulums  vibrated  before  the  face  of  Ibe 
clock     in     some    instonces.    but    in    others    the! 
pendulum  was  made  to  vibrate  in  a  clear  space 
provided  in  the  body  of  the   clock  between   the 
going  and  striking  parts.     These  shorl  pendulums 
vibmted  in  very  large  arc?,  and  in  or  aoout  IGftO 
a  great  improvement  was  made  in  the  oscnpempntj 
by  the  invention  of  the  swing- wheel  with  anchor" 
palletfl,   by  means  of  which   a    long    pendulum,  i 
vibrating  in  seconds  and  in  a  much  smaller  arc, 
was  employed,  and  thereby  great  atendineM  and 
regularity  of  action  was  gained,  and  the  machiD* 
became  a  much  bettor  timekeeper.     This  was  ths 
invention  of   M.   Clement?,   of  London,   or    Dr. 
Hooke  ;  and  Mr.   Daniel  Quare  having  in   1676 
invented  the  minute-wheel  and  put  two  hands  to 
watches,  clocks  were   now  made  also  with  tvo 
bands. 

I  have  four  of  these  clocks,  one  with  the  o 
balance-wheel;  a  second  with  the  adaptation 
vertical  verge  to  a  long  pendulum,  the  bnlanre- 
wheel  being  removed  and  a  short  arm  affixed  to 
the  top  of  the  vertical  verge,  being  made  to  act  on 
a  crutch  connected  with  a  long  pendulam,  which, 
however,  must  be  of  considerable  length  ;  a  third 
with  the  short  bob  pendulum  made  to  play 
clear  space  in  the  body  of  the  clock  ;  and  a  fi 
having  a  swtng-wheel  substituted  for  the  c 
wheel,  with  anchor  pallets  escapement  for  ■ 
pendulum. 

The  old  brass  clocks  went  only  thirty  hours, 
were  set  in  motion  by  a  weight  attached  to  ao 
which  passed  over  a  sheave  having  spikes  in 
groove  which  caught  in  the  links  of  the  chain 
required  to  be  drawn  up  every  day.    There 
counterpoise  at  the  other  end  of  the  choion 
sometimcfl  a  single  weight  waa  contrived  to  i 
both  the  going  andstriking  parts,and  tfaerewaa 
sionally  an  alarum.  On  the  introduction 
pendulum,  clocks  seem  to  have  os&amed  a 
character.     Catgut  was  substituted  for  t 
and  barrels  were  introduced  on  which  the  c 
was  wound  np,  and,  a  greater  length  of  line 
employed,  clocks  were  made  to  go  for  eight 
instead  of  thirty  hours,  and  a  chimo  of  belle 
iog  every  quarter  of  an  hour  was  often  added 
weights  and  long  pendulum  hung  down  :  aa 
there  was  danger  of  their  nctiou  being  inter 
with,  toll  wooden  cases  were  made  to  protect  tl

This  was,  I  believe,  the  origin  and  date  of  the 
upright  clock  cases,  which  wero  ofVen    modi

and  walQu(,the  mnbof^any  ciiscs  being  of  the  follow- 
inj;  century,  when  that  wood  wm  introduced.  The 
brass  "  button  anJ  pillar  clocka"  seem  to  have  gone 
out  of  use  ftbout  this  lime,  and  probably  few  were 
nuide  ftt  the  end  of  the  Boveoteenth  century;  but 
Ibat  will  uppenr  more  clearly  if  I  receive  many 
cnmmunicntions  from  the  owners  of  dated  examples. 
With  regard  to  the  diuuo  of  the  braas  clocks,  I 
have  beard  thcra  Killed  very  many  yejirs  ago 
"button  and  pUlur  clocks/'  The  meaning  and  origin 
of  the  name  I  cannot  bell,  udIpss  it  is  derived  from 
the  pillars  at  the  corners  and  the  book  or  button 
on  which  the  clock  may  be  bung  up  against  the 
wall. 

With  regard  to  the  chamber  and  table  clocks 
of  which  the  morinK  power  is  a  coiled  spring?,  they 
must  all  be  of  later  date  than  ]5<10,  when  thftt 
power  w&s  first  used,  and  pocket  clucks  or  watches 
and  small  table  clocks  first  made.  They  are 
numerous  and  their  forms  vo  various  that  each  cx- 
■mplo  must  tell  its  own  bistory.  It  may,  however, 
be  observed  that  the  earliest  had  no  fusee.  The 
earliest  fusee  known  is  in  the  Bohemian  table 
clock  belonging;  to  the  Society  of  Antiquaries,  and 
which  bears  the  date  1525.  After  the  invention 
of  the  pendulum  many  small  table  clocks  were 
allerei),  and  the  movements  ndnptcd  to  smalt  bob 
pendulums,  which  may  possibly  have  made  them 
go  more  re({ularly,  but  did  not  improve  their  ap- 
pearance, the  work  having  generally  been  very 
clumsily  executed. 

There  were,  however,  some  very  good  spring 
bracket  clock*  of  a  larger  sixo  made  in  the  seven- 
teenth century.  The  clock  in  the  irma  of  the 
Olockmakerft'  Company,  granted  io  1642,  is  a  f^ood 
example,  and  this  style  of  clock  has  continued 
I  down  to  tho  present  time.  They  very  frequently 
had  chimes,  and  the  back  plates  of  Iho  movements 
were  very  often  finely  engraved  with  scrolls  and 
ilowers,  OcTAVius  Morgax. 

The  Friars,  Newport,  Mon. 

Mr.  Salter  states  that  he  would  be  plad  to 
hear  of  so-called  "  fifteenth  century  "  clocks.  I 
have  one  such  as  he  describes,  of  brass,  nearly 
cubical  in  figure.  15^  inches  high,  and  surmonnted 
by  a  large  cupola-shaped  expoied  bell,  round  which 
on  each  side  is  an  elaborate  perfomted  ornamenta- 
tioD.  On  a  shield  on  either  side  in  the  centre  of 
the  abore  decoration  is  the  name,  in  old  Engliiih 
letters,  of  Francis  Petit,  and  on  a  niniilar  shield  in 
front  ivre  apparently  three  leopards'  heads.  Above 
the  diul,  which  is  of  white  metal,  is  evidently  the 
name  of  the  mnker  of  tho  clock,  "  Thomas 
Barrett  in  Poucr."  This  clock  was  found  in 
a  loft  belonging  to  a  house  in  a  village  eight  mile^ 
from  Dover  n  few  years  ayo.  It  was  perfectly 
block  with  age  and  dirt,  and  its  pendulum  was 
IbUDd  with  it.  Now  that  it  has  been  cleaned  it  is 
T<ry  bandcome^  and  I  sboald  be  glad  to  learn  its 


date,  a  point  which  no  doubt  Mr.  Salter  can 
settle.  Aethcr  Mksiiam. 

I  can  give  two  references  to  books  where  the 
old  clock  at  Uye  is  mentioned,  io  addition  to  lb«j 
Biiiory    of   liyt  already  quoted,  and  only  two,^ 
One  ia  at  p.  8  of  Fitld  Puihx  and  Grien  Lanrs, 
by  L.  J.  Jennings  ;   and  the  other  is  nt  p.  ft8  of: 
Cfhambers's  Handbi>oh  to  the   County  of  Siuirx. 
The  latter  informs  us  that  the  clock  "  is  said  to 
bare  been  given  by  Queen  Elizabeth,"  a  tradition 
which   Mn.    Octavios   Morgan's  date  of   1616 
disproves.     Tho   church  figures  conspicuously  in 
Denis  lhtv<il,  but  Thacktmy  does    not  mention 
the  clock.     I  do  not  know  whether  Mr.  Octavids 
Morgan  has  seen  the  old  clock  at  Kushen  Castle 
in  the  Isle  of  Man.     I  saw  it  a  couple  of  yearn 
ago.     It  is  in  the  southern  tower,  and  the  weights 
pass  through  one  or  two  Boorf.     This  clock,  too, 
is  said  to  have  been  presented  by  Qaeen  Eliza- 
beth ;  indeed,  oneffuidebook  (T  forget  which)  men- 
tions the  year  ld07  aa  the  date  of  presentation.

CoLtninns:  tub  Oiovian  Mobbcm  (e"*  S.  vii, 
67}.— When  United  States  minister  at  Madrid, 
the  Hon.  Lucius  Fairchild  employed  the  Spanish 
artist  Hernandez  to  make  a  Cfireful  copy  of  the 
Yanez  portrait  of  Columbus.  This  copy  the  former 
presented  to  the  Wisconsin  State  Historical 
Society.  Tho  letter  of  thiuika  addressed  by  Prof. 
James  D.  Butler,  in  tho  name  of  the  Society,  to 
Governor  Fairchild,  baa  been  recently  printed. 
The  pamphlet  is  dated  1883,  and  contains  alt  the 
information  relative  to  tho  known  portraits  said 
to  represent  Columbus  which  the  great  industry 
and  learning  of  its  author  have  been  able  to  collect 
from  various  sources.  It  may,  therefore,  without 
hesitation  bo  consulted  as  tho  fullest  account 
which  has  hitherto  appeared  in  print  of  those  por- 
traits. This  infonnation,  condensed  as  much  aa  ^ 
possible,  may  perhaps  be  acceptable  to  many  fl 
readers  of  '*  N.  &  Q."  ^ 

There  are  at  least  twenty  or  thirty  known  por- 
traits which  are  said  to  represent  Columbus.  Of 
these  Prof.  Butler,  for  sufficient  reasons,  rejects 
nil  but  three  or  four  as  imaginary  or  mere  later 
repetitions  of  some  original  portrait  disguised  in 
various  dresses,  some  of  which  were  not  even  worn 
in  the  time  of  Columbus.  Among  those  which  ^ 
ofier  the  moat  striking  signs  of  authenticity  the  H 
foremost  is  now  that  generally  known  as  the 
Yanez  portrait,  from  its  having  been  brought  from 
Granada  to  Madrid  by  the  painter  of  that  name 
and  sold  to  the  Spanish  Government  in  1763.  This 
portrait  now  hangs  in  the  National  Library.  It 
remained  for  many  years  in  the  state  in  which  tt 
hud  been  purchased  from  Yanez.  The  discovery 
of  its  real  value  'u  thus  related  by  Prof.  Butler: —

So  completely  bad  this  Yanez  portrait  been  dis- 
fif^nred  thnt  when  the  inhabitanta  of  Genoa,  after 
repeated  failures  to  erect  a  monument  worthy  of 
their  city's  greatest  son,  applied  for  ad  rice  upon 
the  subject  to  the  Historical  bociety  of  Madrid,  the 
latter,  after  long  deliberubion,  advised  the  Genoese 
to  model  their  atatae  not  according  to  any  likenesa 
in  Spain,  aa  national  pride  might  have  dictated, 
but  by  the  portrait  in  the  Florentine  Gallery  and 
an  old  engraring  published  in  1606  from  a  Koman 
drawing  by  Capriolo. 

The  next  portrait  which  deserves  conaidoration 
u  that  whicQ  was  in  the  famous  gallery  of  por- 
traits of  celebrated  men  formed  by  Paolo  Giovio. 
Columbus  did  not  become  distinguished  until 
after  the  discovery  of  America,  and  was  then  about 
fifty-seven  years  of  ago.  He  died  in  16(.»6,  aged 
seventy.  Giovio  was  nine  years  old  in  1492,  iiud 
consequently  twenty-three  when  Columbus  died 
in  Spain.  As  Prof.  Butler  says  with  much  truth, 
Giovio  had  peculiar  facilities  for  obtaining  a  cor- 
rect portrait  of  Columbus  from  Spain,  and  since 
in  writing  of  him  Giovio  uses  tnis  expression, 
*'hunc  honestissima  fronte  hominem,"  unless  we 
suppose  that  he  had  seen  Columbus  it  muy  be 
fairly  assumed  that  thew  words  were  inspired  by 
a  portrait  about  the  faithfulness  of  which  Giovio 
had  no  donbt.  Admitting,  therefore,  readily  that 
Giovio  poBseised  a  true  portrait  of  Columbns,  it 
seoniB  nevertheless  that  it  is  extremely  improbable 
that  ho  obtained  the  only  portrait  of  Columbus  in 
Spain.  It  is  much  more  likely  that  his  was  a 
duplicate  of  the  Yanez  portrait  by  the  Spanish 
artist  who  painted  that  from  life.  It  appears 
strange  that  the  artists  and  connoisseurs  of  Spain 
cannot  say  positively  by  whom  the  Yanez  portrait 
was  painted.  That  from  tho  portrait  in  the 
posseaaion  of  Giovio  a  woodcut  was  publiithed  at 
iloale  in  1572-8  is  very  probable. 

I    bavo    now    to    speak     of    tlie    portrait    of 

Columbus  which  hangs  in  the  Florentine  GuUery, 

and  which  before  tho  restoration    of   the  Yauex 

portrait  was  held  to   l>e  the  best  of  CoIuinbuB. 

Ji^/an  1^08  Criaiohno  dell'  AItii«imo  was  em- 


ployed by  the  Duke  of  Tuscany  to  copy  very  mi 
of  the  portraits  in  the  gallery  of  Giovio,  and  tl 
is  no  reason  to  doubt  that  the  portrait  now 
Florence  is  by  Cristofano.  The  only  difticuU^ 
the  matter  is  that  the  dress  is  not  the  fame  as 
the  Yanez  portrait  and  the  woodcut  of  1571 
but  it  is  by  no  means  impossible  that  Cristofa 
while  adhering  strictly  to  the  likenesa  as  regai 
the  face,  dressed  the  figure  differently.  He  may 
even  have  been  ordered  to  do  so,  as  the  simple 
dress  of  Columbus  muy  have  been  thought  dero- 
gatory  to  his  memory  when  bis  portrait  was  ht 
between  those  of  Americus  Vespucci  and  F< 
nando  Magellane. 

As  I  regard  the  portrait  of  Columbus  v] 
belonged  to  Giovio  as  lost,  I  will  conclude 
note  with  the  information  given  by  Prof.  Bol 
relative  to  the  appearance  and  dress  of  Coluiul 
He  says: — 

"The  portraitures  I  have  passed  in  re?iew  ire 
more  rehable  becau«e  they  phow  tbe  person  of  Coli 
aa  we  have  it  deacribed  b^  his  son,  aa  well  as  by  his 
temporary  Oviedo ;  that  is,  face  Urge  aud  ruduy,  oh( 
bones  rattier  bigli,  nose  aquiline,  eyes  light,  hair  bit 
in  youth,  bat  at  thirty  years  old  already  white." 

Probably  by  "blonde"  we  ought  tounderat-ind  1^ 
brown  (in  the  portraits  it  is  rather  dark),  as 
light  hair  seldom,  if  ever,  becomes  white  evci 
old  Bge.     In  the  portraits  the  colours  have 
bably  darkened  with  time.    As  to  the  dress 
Columbus  Prof,  Bntler  says: — 

"  The  costume  in  the  woodcut  corresponds  to  what 
the  curate  of  Palacios,  Andrea  Berualdez,  saw  Columbus 
wraring  in  June,  1J9<5,  namely,  a  dr«4i  in  colour  and 
fashion  tike  a  Kranciwan  friar's,  but  shorter,  and  for  de- 
votion girt  vith  a  rope  of  cordelier.  He  was,  in 
buried  at  Valladolid,  in  the  monastery  of  St.  Fi 
and  in  the  habit  of  a  Franoiacan  friar.  But  as  a  eai 
garments  were  then  like  a  Franciscan's,  some  bokt 
Columbus  chose  to  be  so  painted,  with  allosion  to 
be  had  himself  achieved  as  a  sailor."

— The  word  XngUru  refers  (oa  suggested  in  the 
editorial  note)  to  the  province  of  Aogbicra  on  the 
■bore  of  La^o  Maggiore,  of  which  the  Visconti, 
Dukes  of  Milan,  were  counts.  According  to 
P.  C.  Decembrio  {Vita  PhUippi  Afarwc,  cap.  i), 
Angberia  affordn  the  origin  of  the  name  of  the 
Visconli.  "  Vicecomitum,"  he  says,  "  originem 
ontiquam  sane  ac  pr.pclaram  cxtltisae  multi  pro- 
didere,  nomen  autem  sumpsisse  putatur  ab 
Anglerioi  comitibus,  quibus  a  Federico  puIbib 
vicecomites  eorum  loco  dictt  sunt,  procedenti  vero 
tempore  ctiam  comitcsse  appellaveruat."  Francis 
8forza  was  adopted  into  the  family  of  Fhilip 
Muria,  the  last  of  the  Yisconti,  on  marriage  with 
bis  natural  daughter  and  heire'vi,  Bianca  IMaria,  in 
1  •141,  and,  on  the  death  of  his  fatber-in-Uw  with- 
out lawful  issue,  laid  claim  to  his  estates  and 
litles.  ,  The  legend  on  the  contemporary  portrait 
medal  of  Philip  Maria  by  Pisano  runs  thus: 
**  Philippns  Maria  Anglus  Dux  Mcdiolani  £t 
Cetera  I'apie  Anglerio  Quo  Comes  Ac  Gcnuie 
J)oQ)inu9."    The  aomo  of  Aoglus  is  derived  from 


the  pretended  descent  of  the  Yisconti  from  the  son 
of  Ascanius.  FraDcis  Sfom  so  far  reco^^nized  thia 
tradition  as  to  name  his  fifth  son  Ascanio.

His  will  is  preserved  in  the  registry  of  the  Pro-

It  bears  the  date  of  Sept.  12,  1611.  The  testator 
resigns  his  soul  "  to  God,  to  oure  ladye  Seyot

He  wills  his  "tenemcDt  called  Tht  Nttoe  Inne,

Limbeth  "  May  14,  1513|  by  the  executors  already 
named. 

The  fiood  kniKht  must  have  died  between 
September,  1511,  the  date  of  the  will,  and  May, 
IfilS,  the  date  of  the  probate.  The  reference  to 
the  "wife  D^me  Jane"  shows  that  the  testator 
must  have  been  twice  married,  probably  the  second 
time  to  a  penon  of  humble  birth,  sinoe  she  is 
specially  commended  to  the  respect  and  regard  of 
the  servants.  At  any  rate,  there  were  no  children 
by  either  wife.  The  mention  of  the  buildings, 
&c ,  at  JcMUs  College  is  very  interestini?.  Amon^3t

Pu  sen  (6*S.  vii.  297).— This  word  is  undoubtedly 
borrowed  from  our  English  bevcraf^.  Here  is  a 
story  of  a  "  Punch  patriotique,"  which  was  held  in 
St.  Denis,  the  port  of  the  French  island  of  He- 
union,  in  1870.  One  day  the  mail  stoamcr  arrived 
bringing  from  Aden  an  KngliAh  telcgnuii  which 
read  thus — no  punctuation:  "French  defeated 
Prussians  near  Chalons."  Not  for  an  iniitant  did 
the  enthusiastic  colonists  hesitate  about  the  read- 
ing of  the  ambiguous  message.  They  carried 
the  bringer  of  the  news  shoulder-high  to  the 
niairie,  where  speeches  were  made,  and  by  acclama- 
tion was  carried  a  proposal  to  hold  a  '*  Punch 
patriotique"  that  very  afternoon  in  the  public 
gardens.  Circulars  so  headed,  begging  subacrip- 
tioni,  were  immediately  circulated,  and  much 
"  punch "  of  various  combinations  was  drunk 
that  da^  to  the  crowing  of  the  Gallic  cock  flushed 
with  victory.  Alas !  the  echoes  of  the  Growings 
had  hardly  died  away  when  it  leaked  out  that  the 
governor's  official  despatches  were  of  such  a  nature 
n^  to  suggest  that  a  full  stop  was  nwanting  in  the 
Kuglish  telegram,  and  that  the  place  for  the  full 
stop  lay  between  the  wordti  "  defeated "  and 
*'  Prussians."  The  man  who  in  the  morning  had 
been  shouldered  and  feted  had  now  to  run  for  bis 
life.  S.  S.  L. 

This  word,  as  employed  by  the  French  to  denote 
a  festive  gathering,  is  ut  least  as  old  as  the  Lime 
of  the  Crimean  War.  In  Lord  George  Pagct's

and  the  FrenclvofHcerj  serving  under  him  enter- 
tained their  English  comrades  at  Eupatoria  in 
1855.  I  believe  the  word  is  undoubtedly  derived 
from  the  English  punch,  denoting  a  beverage  (vidt 
Littrc).  J.  M.,juD.

Duncan  T.  axd  Dijkcam  11.,  Kinos  of  Scot- 
tAUD  (0*"  S.  T.  408  ;  vl  17,  218,  37G).— It  seems 
n  pity  th.it  the  trustworthy  and  scholarly  histories 
of  Scotland  which  bare  been  Ki^ea  to  us  in  thene 
latter  days  shoald  not  be  cnnsulted  by  correspond* 
enta  before  presenting  "  N.  &  Q."  with  what  ia  so 
often  either  a  non-existent  or  an  exploded  doubt. 
The  late  John  Uill  Burton  {UUtoty  of  S<^^thttul, 
vol.  ii.  p.  12)  names  "gracious  Dunc.iu"  as  the 
son  of  "  Cronan  or  Crioan,  Abbot  of  the  Culdeos 
of  Dunkelil,  who  bad  for  wife  the  daughter  of 
Malcolm  IF."  On  the  early  race,  or  rather  racen, 
of  Scottish  kings,  however,  Burton  is  much  less 
full  aa<l  precise  than  either  Skene,  in  hia  Celtic 
i^cotlantlt  or  the  late  K.  \V.  Robertson,  in  his 
Scotland  undtr  htr  Early  King$.  Burton,  for 
instance,  mentions  the  parentage  of  "  gracious 
Duncan  "  father  ohiUr,  by  way  of  illustrating  the 
thesis  that  *'  the  CuKlecs  married  and  gave  in  mar- 
riage, many  of  them  founding considorablo  families, 
enriched  by  Church  property."  And,  in  support, 
he  refers  to  such  cases  as  those  of  the  eminent 
Highland  names  Mac  Nab,  Mac  Pherson,  &c,, 
derived  by  Celtic  scholars,  as  he  says,  from  "a 
priestly  fitiierhood,  commemorated  as  a  distinc- 
tion." This  statement  needs  qualification.  The 
organization  of  the  Celtic  Church,  in  "  Scotia 
Minor"  as  in  "Sootia  Major,"  i. «.,  in  what  wc 
DOW  coll  Scotland  as  well  as  in  what  we  now  call 
Ireland,  and  to  a  perhaps  lesser  degree  also  in 
Wales,  was  at  once  monastic  and  tribnl,  repro- 
ducing in  the  latter  respect  the  organization  of 
the  Celtic  state.  Hence  the  lay  abbacies,  held 
by  leading  members  of  the  erreat  clam,  on  both 
sides  of  the  Irish  Channel.  There  was  a  natural 
tendency  to  this  system  in  the  Celtic  Church,  eren 
without  the  helping  cause  to  which  Mr.  Skene 
seems  almost  exclusively  to  refer  it,  viz ,  the 
geaend  relaxation  of  Church  life  caused  iu  the 
ninth  and  tenth  centuries  by  the  constant  pressure 
of  internal  feud  and  the  ravages  of  Scandinavian 
nod  other  inraflera. 

Abbot  Crinnn^n  position  is  thus  tersely  summed 
np  by  Skene  {Ctltic  Scotland,  vol.  i.  pp.  390-2):  — 

"Thonfch  boirlne  tbIideatgDation  [i.e.,  thatof  AM>nt 
of  DunLoiJ],  ho  wu  iiot  an  ecc)r'U>t>c,  but  in  r-allty  a

cluding altnoit  the  ivhulc  vreit«nt  pnri  of  it,  nnd  uitiit 
havo  occupied  a  positioa  of  power  sod  iufluoucc." 

From  the  coincidence  of  the  Christian  name  of 
Duncjin,  given  by  Crinan  to  his  eldest  son,  SkoDfl 
infers  that  Crinan  was  probably  himself  tho  son  or 
grandson  of  Duncan,  the  lay  Abbot  of  Dunkeld, 
recorded  as  slain  in  battle  a.d.  965,  and  *'ia 
whose  person  the  lay  abbacy  became  hereditary." 

That  Duncan  was  Crinan's  son  by  tho  daughter 
of  Malcolm  II.  is  as  clearly  stated  by  Skene  as  by 
Barton.  Skene  is  also  of  opinion  that  Crinan  had 
"  probably  another  son,  Maldred,"— I  presume  by 
the  same  wife,  but  that  is  a  point  outside  of  ifa« 
limits  of  the  present  discussion. 

Sir  Bernard  Burke,  alike  in  his  statement  of 
the  p.irentace  of  Duncan  I.  and  of  the  legiliniaoy 
of  Duncan  II.,  is  in  full  accordance  with  the  latest 
and  best  authoritiea  on  early  Scottish  history.

examples  in  the  chnrch  of  St.  Andrew  at  Weston- 
unde^IlyzaTd,  in  Staffordshire,  which  are  assigned 
by  inscriptions  of  respectable  antiquity,  in  the  one 
oose  to  Sir  Hamo  de  Weston,  ob.  e,  1188,  "  father 
of  Robert  and  Osbert,  grandfather  to  John,  great- 
grandfather to  Sir  Hugh  ";  and  in  the  other  to 
Sir  Hugh  de  Weston,  ob.  1304,  "father  of  Sir 
John  de  Weston,"  the  ancient  lords  of  that  manor. 
The  heads  of  both  effigies  ate  coyered  with 
coifs  or  hoods  of  chain  mail,  which  extend  to  the 
shoulders,  and  which  are  similar  to  the  remarkable 
relic  of  extreme  rarity  and  interest  which  I  saw 
Tears  ago  in  the  valuable  armoury  at  Parham.  In 
both  figures  a  haqueton  or  gambeson  protects  the 
body,  extending  to  the  middle  of  the  thigh,  there 
being  no  hauberk.  The  sword-belt  of  the  one  is 
across  the  shoulder,  whilst  that  of  the  other  passes 
round  and  droops  below  the  waist.  In  each  cose 
the  left  hand  supports  the  sheathed  sword  almost 
vertically,  whilst  the  right  hand  grasps  the  hilt. 
The  hands  have  no  covering ;  the  legs,  which  in 
both  instances  are  crossed,  are  not  encased  in 
chausses;  and  there  are  no  champons  on  the  feet, 
which  rest  upon  lion-like  animals.  These  knightly 
appointments,  it  will  be  noted,  are  of  a  very  simple 
and  early  kind,  moreover  the  figures  lack  the  finish 
of  the  later  period. 

In  the  restored  cast  window  of  the  church  are 
preserved  the  remains  of  the  ancient  memorial 
window  of  the  above-named  Sir  John  de  Weston, 
ob,  1348,  and  of  his  wife  Isabella  de  Bromley. 
Both  knight  and  dame  are  kneeling  and  adoring, 
he  in  a  complete  suit  of  chain  armour  with  a  close- 
fitting  eoif-de-fer^  on  the  top  of  which  is  riveted 
A  crown-plote  of  steel.  He  is  belted  and  spurred, 
his  sword  by  his  side,  and  his  sable  surcoat  bearing 
an  eagle  displayed  argent,  over  nil  a  label  of  three 
points  gules,  fretty  or.  She  in  wimple  and  covcr- 
chief,her  kirtle  being  quarterly,  per  fesse  indented  or 
and  gules,  A  coloured  plate  of  two,of  the  compart- 
ments of  the  original  window  is  given  in  Dallaway's 
Heraldry  (pp.  ii  and  100),  but  the  surcoat  of  Sir 
John  de  Weston  has  been  in  some  copies  left 
white,  whilst,  with  a  disregard  of  the  heraldic  law 
that  metal  upon  metal  is  inadmissible,  the  eagle 
has  been  coloured  yellow.  J.  B,  Z.  A. 

CnnisTHAS  Boxes  in  the  Iiondon  Baiiks  (6** 
S.  vi.  504). — I  should  like  to  correct  some  false 
impressions  which  might  be  created  by  Ma, 
Boase's  note  on  this  subject.  Gratuities  to  bank 
clerks  date  far  back  into  the  last  century,  and,  with 
few  exceptions,  are  not  only  received  to  this  day  at 
the  principal  private  banks,  but  at  more  than  one 
of  the  more  important  joint-stock  banks.  There 
is  no  rule  as  to  the  amounts  received,  this  depend- 
ing more  on  the  generosity  of  the  customer  than 
on  the  length  of  his  account.  Nor  is  there  the 
aame  mode  of  distribntioo  in  any  two  banks  :  in 
•pme  buika  the  dlTiuon  is  made  po  Tai$,  on  the 


clerk's  salary,  whilst  in  others  the  amount  re- 
ceived is  divided  on  a  fixed  plan  according  to 
length  of  service.  In  most  banks  all  clerks,  in 
a  few  only  a  certain  number,  participate  in  the 
fund.  I  quite  agree  with  Mr.  Boasb  (who,  by 
the  way,  speaks  of  the  fund  as  a  thing  of  the  past, 
whilst  it  is,  in  fact,  still  as  popular  with  customers 
as  in  the  early  part  of  the  century  before  joint- 
stock  banks  were  known)  that  employers  take  this 
fund  into  consideration  in  paying  their  clerks,  but 
it  would  be  pure  supposition  to  say  that  clerks 
would  receive  from  employers  a  corresponding 
increase  to  their  salaries  were  the  fund  to  be 
abolished.  In  fact,  I  know  that  it  is  not  so ;  and 
it  is  notorious  that  in  Scotland,  where  nobody 
expects  gratuities  from  a  customer,  and  where 
the  fund  is  unknown,  the  average  wages  of  bank 
clerks  are  barely  higher  than  those  of  a  London 
bricklayer. 

Ma.  BoASE  ventures  to  quote  a  tradition  that 
Messrs.  Rothschild  have  persistently  refused  to 
contribute  to  their  bankers'  Christmas  fund.  I 
humbly,  but  not  the  less  emphatically,  say  that 
this  is  but  idle  tradition.  The  advent  of  joint- 
stock  banks  has  not  in  any  degree  lessened  the 
amounts  received  on  the  various  funds,  and  whilst 
I  admit  that  the  best  known  of  these  do  not  re- 
ceive monty  for  a  fund,  I  do  say  that  "  black- 
mail" is  received  at  all  joint-stock  banks,  bnt 
instead  of  taking  the  shape  of  money,  which  would 
allow  of  distribution,  it  takes  the  shape  of  geece, 
cues  of  wine,  and  cigars  ;  and  if  any  reader  of 
"N.  &  Q.,"  and  especially  Ma.  Boase,  desires  to 
test  the  truth  of  this  assertion,  I  would  suggest 
that  he  should  address  a  little  note  to  the  manager 
or  other  official  of  any  joint-stock  bank  where  he 
may  happen  to  have  an  account,  requesting  his 
acceptance  of,  say,  a  small  case  of  brandy,  and  I 
promise  him  a  hearty  shake  of  the  hand  the  first 
time  he  shall  come  in  contact  with  the  same 
official. 

Personally,  I  have  no  affection  for  the  prin- 
ciples of  the  fund,  nor  do  I  consider  that  it  is 
always  equitably  divided,  but  I  am  far  from 
astonished  that  customers  should  allow  their 
accounts  to  be  debited  annually  for  such  amount 
as  their  generosity  dictates,  it  being  a  practical 
proof  that  they  are  satisfied  with  the  courtesy  and 
attention  they  have  received  ;  and  as  the  gift  is 
invariably  spontaneous,  I  hardly  think  those  who 
do  not  contribute  should  find  fault  with  its  con- 
tinuance. Ak  Old  B.C.

and  explicit  as  to  the  raembora  of  tbo  race  who  beoame

the  tombs  that  canopy  their  bones  all  come  in  for  a  duo

few  of  the  name  who  are  not  mentioned  somewhere  In 
his  pages.  We  happen,  however,  to  know  of  three  whom 
we  have  not  been  able  to  identify  with  certainty.  There 
was  a  Major  Glanvtlle  (ChrtBlian  name  not  known)  who 
bore  arms  fur  the  king  against  the  Parliament.  He  may 
have  been  the  same  person  as  the  Mailer  Glanville 
who  was  one  of  the  gentlemen  who  in  1046  treated  far 
the  surrender  of  .MountEdgcomb,  A  Francis  Glanvtlle, 
who  was  most  probably  a  I'uritao,  was  a  Justice  of  peace

of  the  volume^  including  the  repri>duction  of  the  numer- 
6UI  new  drawinn  and  engraTiiig*,  has  been  executed  by 
Mr.  Ehiwortb  UDgle-baDdcdl j  and  free  of  an?  oott  what- 
ever to  menibera  of  the  society.  Wholly  mifcellancous 
are  the  contents  of  the  present  part^  couAisting  princi- 
pally of  social  f>nd  amorous  Iraltnds,  \»btch  may  be 
roughly  armnged  by  the  predominant  initlil  letter  of 
their  titles  under  the  letter  X'.  We  have  thus  "  The 
Ponwtubiro  Damoacl,"  "The  Doubting  Virgin."  "The 
Dumb  Lady,"  "Dying  Tears  of  a  Penitent  Sinner," 
•'  Downright  Dick  of  the  West,"  "  Disdainful  Virgin

forth.  Excellent  reading  are  not  a  few  of  the  ballads. 
To  our  thinking,  however,  the  prefaces  and  notes,  the 
latter  bi'imming  with  humour  and  with  quaint  and  curious 
inn>miation,cooitiluIe  the  most  attractire  portion  of  the 
work.    The  appearance  of  part  xii.  is  eagerly  expected. 

Some  of  jEtoB'$  Fabies  with  Modem  Inttancf*,  Shown 
in  Designs  by  Randolph  Caldecott.  [Macmitlan  A:  Co.) 
TBI  admirers  of  Mr.  lUndrilph  Cald<-c<:tt  will  iiod  much 
to  attract  them  in  this  handsome  Tolnme,  The  scheme 
of  illustrating  certain  of  ^sop'a  fables  with  modem 
Instanoee  is  an  admirable  one,  for  it  enables  Mr.  Cslde- 
eott  to  combine  his  faculty  for  animal  drawing  with 
Ihnse  chamiinKly  arch  and  playful  aocial  sketches  of 
>ihioh  he  has  tlie  secret.  As  examples  of  the  former 
fiothing  can  be  better  than  the  "  Fox  and  the  Crow,"  the 
*'Wo]r  and  the  Lamb,"  and  the  "  Ilawk  chasing  the 
Dorr."  Very  delightful,  too,  is  the  icrvile  amiability 
of  the  coppenuith's  pappy  at  mealtime.  The  modern 
instanoee  strite  as  a  littie  unequal.  But  this  is  poMibly 
owing  to  the  fact  that  Sf  me  of  them  are  unusually  good.

from  October,  1881,  to  April,  1382.  Witliin  the  fpace 
of  six  months  nn  experienced  traveller  would  naturally

America;  it  is  not,  therefore,  surprising  that  Mr.  Fr«-

NOTES  ON  PERSONAL  NAMES.  CHIEFLY 

THOSE  OP  TBG  BRITISH  ISLES. 

iContinwd  from  p*  2J2.) 

lifyiny  JvjUunctA, — It  wm  a  common  custom 

[  Aryaa  peoples  to  iiborten  in  familiar  vn&ga 

v-8temmed  personal  name  which  has  been 

Daly  described  as  Ibo  original  Dormal  form. 

fMdone  by  cuUiDgolT  either  tbo  ateiu  at  the 

ting  of  tbe  name  or  that  at  the  end.    Thus 

re  from  snob  ancient  normal  Sanskrit  names 

[ft-datta,  Indra-lcetn,  the  corre.^p^nding  con- 

Ds    Deva^  Indra,  lUtUi,  KiUi.     From  the 

full    name    ^ir/ii/f'-t^ci/os    wo    get    the 

Bed  form  1*7/11710?.  To  the  SlaTonto  Ljibo- 

tnd  Erato-ljub  corresponda  the   coDtr.u:Ud 

^jub.     The  Cymric  compoands  Arthma«l, 

Dael,  are  represented  by  Mael.     Xbe  Irish 

Aedh-ghul,  Art-^b:il,   Flunn-ohadb,  have 

lorteued   oorrespondoDg  forms   Aedb,  Arf^ 

lann.    AloD^9ide  tbe  Anj^lo- Saxon  names 

led,  Bfiomfrith,  we  have  Wnlf  and  Tlcom;  and 

iculiarly  Scandinaviin  forma  IHfketel  and 

bod  have  contmoted  reprosentiUves  inEetel 

nod  respectively. 

t  here  to  be  noted  that  these  contracted 
were  nsually  made  by  cutting  o!f  tbe  Uiitcr 
'  the  compfete  name,  although  it  is  dii£- 


outt  to  aay  in  many  iostanocB  whether  the 
form  retained  lepresents  really  tba  8t«in  at  the 
beginning  or  that  at  tbe  end  of  tbe  original  com- 
ponnd  word.  In  oases  where  we  know  the  shortened 
nrtme  to  correspond  with  a  atom  which  is  used 
only  flt  the  tnd  of  compoand  names  no  doubt 
can  bo  entertained  (niich  as  Vipwv  from  Au/to- 
y</)iui',  or  Ketel  from  Vlfketel  or  Orim-ketel},  but 
where  the  retained  stem  is  found  indi0erently 
either  at  the  beginning  or  at  the  end  of  the 
original  appellation  we  cannot  be  (^uite  certain 
as  to  which  it  represents. 

The  contracted  forms  just  described,  where 
one  of  the  etemn  of  the  original  name  was  retained 
in  its  primitive  bareness,  con&titute  but  a  small 
proportion  of  the  shortened  names  which  we  6nd 
to  have  been  nsed.  Theee  bare  stems  received  iu 
the  ronjority  of  cases  a  further  devolopmentv  liy 
tbe  application  of  different  forms  of  suffixes,  ex* 
presstve  of  faraiUarity  or  affection,  they  were  made 
to  yield  a  still  richer  variety  of  appellations.  I( 
wonld  be  beyond  the  scope  of  these  notes  to  dis- 
cuss nil  the  kinds  of  siif&xea  employed,  and  a  few 
iustaDcea  must  therefore  serre  to  show  the  prin- 
ciple upon  which  these  second.ary  personal  names 
were  formed. 

From  such  coutrictiona  as  the  Sanskrit 
Aryama,  Dera  (Aryuma-datta,  Deva-datta),  we 
have  farther  forms  made  by  the  use  of  a  /:  suffix, 
t.g.^  Aryama-ka  and  Deva-ka,  Aryara-ika,  Dev-ika, 
which  correspond  with  such  Greek  forms  M 
'Irrr-aKOs'  (cf. 'linro*fAij«),  JlvppaKo^  (cf.  Xlvpfh- 
aro/jos),  KOi)v-i\o%  (cf,  A0>/>*o-5wpos).  Along- 
side thefo  may  be  ranged  the  Scandiaaviaa 
Brynki  (Bryn-j.ilfr).  Runki  (RuuVdfr),  Sveinki 
(Svein-bjorn),  he.  Compare  the  following  An[;Io- 
Saxod  names,  taken  from  the  Codtr.  Diplomntifm 
and  iho  Liber  ViUe :  Dremka  (Dreamuulf), 
Brynca  (Byrnhelm),  Beoduoa  (Beodu-uaU),  &c.; 
Hynca  (Hun-berbt),  ^.;  also  the  names  ending 
in  lic,  cCt  taken  from  the  same  sources:  Addoo, 
Bralluc,  Coludue,  Crinoc,  Daduc.  Duddac,  Dudc%, 
Ilndnc,  Onoc,  Trattno,  Tannoc,  Cidnc* 

Beaides  the  old  Gaulish  Divico  (Devo-gndU)  we 
have  many  similar  Celtic  names,  e.  g.,  Cymrio 
Tu'iic  (Tut-nertb),  Budio  (Bfid-gualan),  Catda 
(Catgnalatyr),  Conoo  (Con-guas),  Clotfto  (Clot-ri), 
Matoo  (]^Iat-goeith). 

An  original  ia  aufEx  is  exhibited  in  Aryam-iya 
(of.  Aryania-datta),  which  seema  to  be  represented 
in  ihe  Greek  Kinrpi-s^^^  KVTrp-io-s  (cf.  Ki^Tno* 
yiyifi)',  the  Old  German  Hlud-io  (cf.  Hlad-wig)== 
/cAi-no-s  ;  the  Anglo-Saxon  Oaddi  (cf.  Outhberht), 
jT>i  (EAdsige),  Tydi  (cf.  Tid-wine.  Tit-frith),  &c. 
The  Kaodi  of  the  Swiss  and  the  English  familiar 
forms  Billy,  WiUy,  Dioky,  are  fartlter  inttancea  of 
this  Buffiz. 

*  It  ifl  probable  tliat  some  of  those  names  are  ColHc.

KOTES  AND  QUERIES.         [«"  s.  va  Mat  w.  '83. 


The  namerouB  Greek  personal  names  ending  in 
coi',  genitive  oro;,  preserve  another  anoient  Buffiz 
which  may  be  identified  in  numerous  Teutonic 
names.  Thus  as  parallels  to  AvKtav  (ct  Avko- 
u)i3t)s),  Povktiiv  (cf.  fiov\-ay6pas)f  we  have  Old 
High  German  Wolf-o  (cf.  Wolf-am,  &c)  and  Will-o 
(cf.  WilU-halmj  &o.}.  Compare  with  these  the 
numerous  Anglo-Saxon  contracted  names  ending 
in  a,  making  their  genitives  in  an  (weak  declen- 
bIod).  The  following  few  instances  are  taken  from 
the  Liber  Viicc  and  the  Codex  Diplomaticut : — 

Eada,  Eata  [Adda,  Atta],  Eda«  (all  contracted 
forms  of  one  or  other  of  the  compounds  of  M, 
gen.  fa<7;8=p08se8BioD,  riches,  &a,  «.  g.^  E&dgar, 
Eadred,  Eaduulf,  Eidberht,  &c.). 

JBada,  Baoda,  Beda  (shortened  from  some  com- 
pounds of  htadu{o),  gen.  &m<2pe=battle,  e.g.^ 
Bado-heard,  Beado-uuIf=Beowulf,  &c.)i  Beonna 
(Beornhelm,  cf.  Totta  from  Torhthelm),  Bota, 
Botta  (shortened  from  some  compounds  of  bo(, 
gen.  Ziot«=help,  assistance,  e.  g.^  Botwine,  Bot- 
uulf,  &C.),  Brordat  (a  name  formed  by  modification 
of  the  latter  part  of  some  compound  of  hrordf 
gen.  6*x)r(?<s=blade,  weapon,  c.  j.,  Wiht-brord, 
WiUi-brord,  kc.\  Baoga  (a  shortened  form^  of 
some  compound  of  hatg,  gen.  htdgts:=Sk  ring, 
crown,  &c.,  e.  g,,  Baegmund^perhapa,  the  crown- 
waid),

OS  Coenberht,  Cynaalf),|  Ceolla  (from  some  com-

Uuiht-brord,  &c.). 

The  following  Scandinavian  forms  ending  in  - 
are  to  be  equated  with  the  contracted  names  joi 
given,  being,  like  them,  of  the  weak  delensioo 
Siggi  (Sig-ui«r=^Sig-roJSr),  Erli  (Erl-indi  [Ei 
lingr]),  Gutti  (Guth-ormr),  VoMi  (Thor-valdr] 
Mundi,  or  Asi  (As-mundr),  Laki  (Thor-Ukrj 
Leifi  (Thor-leifr),  Lafi  (Olafr),  Eyvi  (Eyj-blfr),  K«S 
(Thor-kell),  Laugi  (Gunn-laugr). 

It  will  be  noted  that  many  of  the  ahoitenct 
forms  have  their  final  consonant  doubled.  Tlui 
tendency  is  exhibited  also  in  Old  German  namM 
Stark  adduces  as  Instances  Itta=Ita-berga,  Biea 
=Rigilda,  Slcco=Sigbertus,  Sigfridus,  &«, 
Aggo=Ago-bardus,  &c.  We  find  nnmeroos  ifr 
stances  idso  in  Greek  contracted  names.  T\A 
furnishes  a  list  in  his  Die  Oruchigch4n  P€n» 
nafnen,  p.  lix,  to  which  I  have  been  much  ii- 
debted  for  these  introductory  remarks. 

The  use  of  an  2  sound  in  forming  sufflxest^ 
these  shortened  names  is  evidenced  by  numerooi 
instances.  In  Sanskrit  we  have  Aryam-ila,  Ditt- 
ila,  Dev-ila,  shortened  forms  of  such  compoondi 
as  Aryama-datta,  Battvtjitru,  Deva-datto.  Ii 
Old  German  we  encounter  such  names  as  Bidil^ 
Patilo  (Bado-mar),  Berllo  (Berwart),  Bethtib 
(Berhtmdr),  Bodilo  (Bodefrid),  Dagilo  (Dagoberbft 
&c.  Compare  Anglo-Saxon  Bacola,  Bosel,  Owli 
Ebbella,  &c.  Compare  also  the  Old  Gsnliik 
Vergo-bretus  and  Yergilius,  Cata-gnatos  sad 
Catullus,  Yeni-carus  and  Caratullus,  Tosco-vsbm 
and  Tascillus. 

It  might  be  contended  that  these  seemiiiglj 
contracted  forms  were  really  older  than  tlN 
compound  names  in  which  they  occur — that)  ftr 
instance,  such  forms  as  Bil  and  Wil  were  of  ohm 
ancient  date  than  Bilfrith  and  Wllfrith.  To  mirt 
this  charge  it  will  be  necessary  to  give  a  fe* 
proofs  of  the  assumptions  made  in  the  previov 
part  of  this  paper.  1.  It  has  been  observed  tW 
one-stem  personal  names  have,  almost  witho^te^ 
ceptioD,  representatives  in  normal  two-stem  foroMi 
2.  A  great  many  of  the  one-stem  names,  if  vi 
connder  them  by  theuisihfs,  are  entirely  witbail 
meaning,  and,  so  far  as  outward  form  is  Cfl* 
ccrned,  are  not  regularly  constructed,  wheMi 
judged  in  relation  to  the  corresponding  two-ifeHi 
names,  they  satisfy  the  demands  of  both  MnMtMl 
form.  3.  We  have  instances  on  record  that  » 
dividuala  were  desiirnated  familiarly  by  the  bM 
forms  instead  of  by  their  corresponding  two-sM 
designations.  Greek  instances  are  given  by  M 
in  the  work  alrondy  cited,  p.  Ixii,  of  which  I 
notable  example  is  the  contraction  in  the  Pf* 
tftgorat  of  Plato  of  Zev^t^  from  Zcv^iffvN

THE  OniGlX  OF  THE  NOBLE  FAillLY  OF 
CECIk 

Th6  ptevlouBlj  obEcare  name  of  Cecil  was  Grab 
brought  into  EnRliBh  historj  by  Qaeen  Elizabeth's 
gf«at  Priime  MiQijter,  but  it  was  by  no  m^ana  so 
UDfamiliar  before  aa  Ibat  of  either  of  the  two  forest 
political  chtefs  of  oar  own  day.  In  Lmcoloahlm, 
at  l&Bat,  the  name  had  srime  local  repute  and  bad 
been  tw'iae  iiiBcribed  on  the  rail  of  aberiffiS.  The 
great  Lord  Trensur^r'a  power  and  mflaence  ia  the 
Btato  coDtiQaed  bo  long,  that  Uterest  was  taken  in 
everything  cODcerniug  him  both  by  his  friends  anJ 
hh  enemies.  Hin  pedigree  receiT^d  due  attention 
from  the  herald  a  of  the  time,  and  their  reaenrcbes 
and  skill  hooq  foQod  for  him  a  descent  from  an 
ancient  family  on  tho  borders  of  Wulea  of  the 
name  of  SeslU  or  Sitfiilt,  €f  which  tbey  asserted 
Gecill  wa3  a  corrupb  form.  Two  remarkable  and 
uniisu&l  docnmects  in  Norman-French  of  the  time 
of  Edward  III.  also  moat  opportunely  tqrned  np  to 
confi  rm  the  antimu  ty  of  the  family  of  Si  tail  t  an  d  tbelr 
coat  of  armi,  Wheth«r  thea&  are  geimine  or  nob 
u&me  experienced  arcbiriat  could  perhaps  tell  in  a 
moment  from  that  slip,  ha^orer  slight,  which  is  to 
be  found  in  all  forgeriee,  even  the  most  akilfuL 
These  documents  were  printed  in  fall  by  Jobn 
Bosaewellf  in  bis  JFoi^eg  of  Armortt  {ed.  1597, 
p,  8l)t  which  he  dedicated  "  to  the  rteht  honorable 
and  his  siogutar  good  lord  Sir  WlUi^ni  Cecill^ 
Baron  of  Burghleiph.'*  The  author  adds,  **  The 
which  aaid  ori^iDuIl  writtn(ra  being  written  i» 
piLtcbemeni  according  to  the  autiqaitte  of  the 
itme  I  myself  have  seene,  being  in  the  poaaeaaion 
of  the  rigljt  honorable  the  lord  of  Bargbleigb.'^ 

Unfoitanfttely  the  work  of  the  Tudor  heralds 
can  never  be  rcceiT*?d  nowadays  by  any  critical 
investfgator  without  some  independent  corrobora- 
tion, and,  in  consequence,  genealogy  and  heraldry 
still,  in  A  meaaure,  deserve  the  lidlcule  of  bia- 
torians. 

Their  method  ia  dear  After  having  gone  back 
aa  far  &a  they  could  with  the  L'>rd  Treaauior'a 
ancestry,  they  then  grafted  theao  Ocills  as  n  branch 
upon  a  perhaps  ancient,  but  certainly  obacare, 
atouk,  the  Sycills  or  Sitaitta  of  AUerennes^  in  the 
parish  of  Walteraton,  in  Here fordah ire,  who  evi- 
dently welcomed  the  procofls,  for  it  eeema  they 
eubaequently  adopted  Ibe  apelUng  *'Coeil"  tbem- 
R^lTea.  Thcn^  haTJng  got  out  into  deep  water, 
hf-yond  any  future  sounding,  ns  tbey  imagined, 
these  t  fReiala  freely  indulged  in  pur^  invention, 
to  use  n  very  mild  term,  and  the  only  wonder  is 
they  were  diacreet  enough  to  atop  abort  of  the 
Korman  conquest,  and  not  to  raiae  to  the  peerage 
a  few  mncestors  in  that  remote  past  which  might 
be  the  undjspnted  realm  of  these  heraldic  kings. 
The  whole  was  ioaerted  by  Dr,  Powel  in  bis  edition 
of  Lboyd'a  trnnalation  of  Caradoo  of  Lancarvan, 
printed  in  1 5a4<  8o  the  pedigree  they  drew  np  for 
*tf  gaeeo'i  Loid  TMisurcr  f^lU  iato  tjirce  divi- 


sioca  :  (1)  the  evidently  fictitioas  early  portion, ' 
worth  further  eiaminatLon  ;  (2)  the  Sitsilta  of  AJ 
rennea ;  and  {3)  the  genalne  Cecilia,  beginning  « 
with  David  Cecill,  hia  lordahip*3  grandfather,  wb 
tbey  made  son  of  Bicbard  SitsUb,  of  AUerenu 
The  improb^bittty  of  this  afEliation  will  be  m 
by  what  followe;  bat  I  cannot  find  that  amy  c 
has  abown  all  this  up  before.  D^vid  must,  ha 
ever,  have  been  the  son  of  a  Bichard,  or  L9 
Bargbley  would  surely  have  detected  the  miittl 
and  I  dare  aay  as  it  was  the  "  discoveries  "  of  I 
heralds  rather  perplexed  him,  but  were  nevertl 
less  received  in  good  faith,  aa  were  two  quarteria 
ho  used,  engraved  in  B'l^ssewell^  and  to  be  fom 
on  bra  portrait  in  the  Bodleian  and  on  hii  beaatif 
monument  in  St.  Martin's,  Stamford. 

Very  properly  the  peerages  now  begin  vJl 
Lord  Burghley  himself;  bub  Dramniond's  BriA 
Fa1nilii^*  gives  the  whole  BctioD,  and  snggeslii 
derivation  from  Sefayllt,  the  father  of  Llewetn 
Prince  of  Wales,  wbo  died  102U  Blore,  i/iitiq 
of  Rutland  (p.  60),  alio  gives  the  fictitious  pedigii^ 
bat  partly  In  notea.  The  author  of  Thi  A'erafl 
Fiopls  (p.  102)  evideDtfy  believed  in  it,  and.  nk 
gests  that  this  wai  a  br«incb  of  a  Flemish  find 
named  from  the  town  of  Cieael,  iie;ii  Bruges,  aH 
which  he  assumes  to  have  b«an  a  younger  bnad 
of  the  Carlovingian  Counts  of  Gand  ! 

It  is  more  likely  that  the  name  of  Cecil]  ori|I 
nated  as  a  matronymic,  and  that  this  family  ires 
descended  from  a  oartaiu  CeDilia,  whose  mu 
they  continued  to  bear  aa  a  aurname  aftet  il

their  Narlhera  bretbrea,  and  storlea  of  their  dobgs 
ar«  not  at  all  unfrej^uen^.  There  occurs  to  mB^  for 
instaDce  (from  a  a^n^s  of  leigendary  tale^  of  Seville, 
puhliahed  in  El  Porutnir,  by  Sefior  Hurtado),  the 
fltory  of  a  woman  who  decapitated  her  aevca  chil- 
dren f^iaiiiJif  and  threw  them  into  a  dmiQ  nen-v 
the  Calk  de  loa  BaJios.  By-aud-by  this  blood- 
thiraly  matron  suddenly  and  myaterioualy  dis- 
appttired ;  and  sooa  after,  to  tho  terror  of  the 
neighbourhood,  there  issued  from  the  fatal  dram 
the  iDurderes^,  clothed  io  black  and  throwing  out 
fire  from  her  body,  followed  by  hen  seven  headless 
children  curaing  her.  Tbia  ghaatly  processioq 
nightly  haunted  the  neighbourhood,  till  the 
vomun's  father,  aimbg  blmseU  to  the  teeth  with 
holy  relic*,  went  out  to  meet  her,  and  waa  go 
Bucce^ful  in  his  negotiations  with  the  powers  of 
darkneaa,  that  those  nightly  processions  were 
forthwith  discontinued* 

Feman  Oabdlero  has  given  in  her  collection  of 
popular  tales  a  very  weird  story  (Juan  Soldado) 
of  a  soldier  who  goes  to  live  In  a  haunted  house, 
the  former  owner  of  which  had  been  hanged. 
While  the  soldier  is  just  tluishing  the  Srat  repast 
in  his  new  (quarters,  the  kte  owner's  ^host  intro- 
duoea  itaelf  in  a  rather  novel  way.  First  it^  foot 
drops  down  into  tho  roam,  then  tts  leg,  then  its 
tfaigh^  and  bo  on,  till  it  gradually  gets  ^'set  up" 
like  a  fouc-poatee  nft^r  a  bou^e  removfd.  When 
completed  and  in  working  order,  the  upparilion 
conducts  the  soldier  down  to  the  cellar  and  reveals 
to  him  9,  hidden  treasure  wherewith  to  institute 
masses  for  his  soul  in  purgatory.  Many  other  in-

HAtroRD  Baronetgt.— This  baronetcy, 

by  King  Charles  I.,  December  )8,  1G41,  is 

not   yet   extinct,    and   it  ahouUl  not  be 

to  nscerUiin  who  is  the  rightful  beir  to 

|le.     Sir  Richard  Hulford,  fifth  baronet^  of 

hr,  CO.  Leicester,  died   September  6,  1727, 

had,  by  Mary  Cotton  his  wife,  sixteen 

nine  sons  and  seven  daughters.     His 

son,  Thomas  Halford,  Esq.,  was  father  of 

krles  Htklford,  seventh   and  last   biironct, 

his  will  settled  his  Wistow  eatatca  upon 

Sue  of  James  Vaughan,  of  Leicester,  M,D., 
ester  bis  wife,  who   was  the  daughter  of 
fimalley,  alderman  of  Leicester,  by  Elizabeth 
vk,  who  was  the  third  daughter  of  Sir  Richard 
,  fifth   baronet.     L^pon  the  death  of  Sir 
(who  died  i.p.  July  21,  1780)  the  baro- 
rould  devolve  upon    the  younger  sons  of 
}hard  Halford,  fifth  baronet.     These  were, 
tries,  fellow  of  New  College,  Oxford  ;  [4) 
f,  who  died  December  9,  1728,  aged  twenty- 
(5)  and  (0)  two  sons,  who  are  said  to  have 
rang  ;  (7)  Benjiimin  ;  (8)  Richard  ;  and  (0) 
surely  nil  these  sons  did  not  die  without 
It  is  said  tbat  tlie  beir  to  the  baronetcy 
\  finding  tbe  estates  left  away  from  him  to 
le  of  B  daughter  of  Sir  Richard ,  fifth  baronet, 
to  Miume  tbe  title,  «nd  it  has  not  since 


been  taken  by  any  member  of  the  family.  Bub 
who  would  now  be  the  rj(jhlful  baronet?  The 
Wistow  estates,  upon  the  death  of  the  widow  of 
Sit  Charles,  the  last  baronet,  came  to  Henry 
Vaogban  (eldest  son  of  James  Vaughan,  M.D.,  and 
Hester},  physician  extraordinary  to  KingGeorgo 
IlL,  who  oKsumed  the  name  and  arms  of  Halford, 
and  was  created  a  baronet  September  27,  IflOO. 
His  grandson  is  tbe  present  Sir  Henry  St.  John 
Halford,  third  baronet.  But  surely  the  baronetcy 
under  the  old  creation  of  1(341  cannot  yet  bo 
extinct.  W.  G.  D.  F. 

*' Haoab's  wish":  "EesATS  or  Eua."— In 
"  Oxford  in  tbe  Vacation,"  Etia  says  :  "  Dr.D.,  in- 
troducing some  inBtruotiTe  bomily  against  riches 
and  the  desire  of  them,  would  exclaim,  '  Give  me 
Hugar's  wiith  !'"  I  find  this  droll  misprint  of 
"  H.igar"  in  Eisa^js  of  Elia,  1867.  Dr.  D.  alluded 
to  the  wish,  not  of  Hogar,  but  of  Agttr,  as  ex- 
pressed in  the  Book  of  Proverbs,  xxx.  8  : 
"Give  me  neither  poverty  nor  riches."  Docs  the 
misprint  exist  in  the  essay  as  first  printed  in  the 
London  Magazine  for  October,  18iC>,  or  in  any 
edition  published  during  Lamb's  lifetime  7  Or 
was  the  mistake  due  to  some  later  "  reader,"  un- 
certain of  his  h'a  7  The  misprint  is  corrected,  an 
one  might  expect,  in  tbe  new  edition  of  the  E$»ayM 
by  the  Rev.  A.  Ainger;  but  he  does  not  give  the 
reference  to  the  Book  of  Proverbs.         Jatdke. 

"The  SotTTHERN  Cross."  —  Mr.  Jefferson 
Davis,  in  his  Rise  and  Fall  of  (As  Confederate 
Qovfi'nment,  mentions  a  poem  called  The  tioutiurj^ 
CroM,     He  says  that 

"  On  September  11, 1863,  one  of  the  city  newipsMrt 
piiblislied  the  poem  entitled  Tht  Sk/utkrm  Crvtt.  The 
imt>Uilicr«  uud  editor  vterc  immediately  arrested,  not

"The  Ldxurt  of  Woe."— The  writer  of  a 
poem  entitled  The  PtriU  of  FotU-y,  quarto  (about 
1770  i  my  copy  wants  tbe  title),  speaking  of 
Otway,  says,  p.  23:— 

"  And  oh  he  mine,  when  Evening  shades  prevail, 
Pensive  to  listen  to  hla  tnigio  tale, 
And  feed  my  «oul  (oi  teara  spontaneous  flow) 
On  all  tbe  poignant  Luxury  of  Woe." 

This  lost  phrase  is  very  familiar,  and  is,  I  should 
think,  rather  adopted  than  for  the  first  time  struck 
out  by  the  author  of  this  poem.  If  so,  by  whom

lies  on  a  magnzine  article  twelve  years  old,  in 

lich  it  is  stated  that  such  a  decision  "  is  a  mere 

»inion,  and  has  no  jndicial  consequence/     I  had 

►ped  that  by  not  speaking  of  it  as  tht  earldom, 

mentioning    by    whom     it    had    been    **  ad- 

Iged  "  I  should  avoid  wonnding  Soottish  snscep- 

tilities.  But  iva  Mk.  Wuodwaru  inslHls  on  raising 

queation,  I  must  remind  him  that  ho  h:u  do 

[ht   to  charge  me  with  inaccuracy  for  using  a 

rm  which  might  possibly  coollict  with  one  of  bis 


views,  I  am,  of  coarse^  aware  of  this  Scoltiali^ 
contention  as  to  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Honse  of 
Lords,  but  I  am  alscvawaic  that  it  is  only  a  conten- 
tion, and  that  in  England  it  has  been  vigorously 
rejected.  As  Mr,  Woodward  kindly  referred  me 
to  works  which  be  "thought  might  be  of  beoetit 
to  "  me,  let  wo  commend  to  him,  in  my  tnro,  a 
work  by  the  very  champion  of  his  cause,  viz. ,  Lord 
Crawford's  Earhloiw  of  Mar,  He  will  learn  from 
this  nnimpeachable  source  that  the  Mar  resolution 
^IBTii)  opens  with  tho  words  "resolved  and  ad- 
judged" and  that  it  waa  printed  as  a  "judgment.** 

He  will  also  learn  that  "Lord  Mar made  no 

claim  to  the  earldom  adjudged  to  the  Earl  of 
Ktllu"  (ii.  xxiiX  that  "Lord  Mar"  spoke  at  Holy- 
rood  (1876)  of  "  tho  adjudicalion  in  favour  of  tho 
Karl  of  Kellie"  (ii.  15ti),  and  that,  on  that  occasion, 
"one  nnd  all  of  thoio  who  took  part  in  tUo  dUcueairn, 
including  Lord  Mar  himself,  a^iumcd  or  ■llowrd  that,

court  of  jiiBlice"  (ii.  163), 

Ho  will  also  learn  that  by  the  proceedings  in  1877, 

the  House  indicated  its 

*'  right  of  juricdiction  orer  peerage  claims  and  riKhta,  in

instance,  without  appeal  "  (ii.  177) ; 

that  among  tho  "fundamental  propositions  laid 
down  by  tho  House  of  Lords''  on  that  occaaba 
was  this — 

"  The  House  of  Lords  posteBses  ahfolute  juriidiction  in

ifHUiioned,  wheOtcr  righl  or  wjvtng  "  (ii.  240) ; 

that  even  Lord  GnUoway  admitted  that  the  claim 
hod  "  been  adjndictUed  upon  by  the  Committee  of 
Privileges  ";  that  the  Dake  of  Uuccleugh  expressed 
bis  amozement  at  "the  extraordinary  statement 

to  tho  cfTect  that  this  decision  of  the  Hou90 

of  Lords  was  merely  an  opinion,  and  not  a  judg- 
ment ";  nnd  that  Lord  Selborne  obeorvcd  that  such 
views  proceeded 
"^upon  Bforgetfulr.oss  of  that  which  we  all  know;...... 

the  decuiom  to  amriti  at  han  the  force  of  statute  lav," 

And  if  he  will  turn  to  the  recent  Ldttr  of  Lord 
Uede9dale(who,  as  Chairman  of  Committees  in  tho 
House  of  Lords,  must  bo  presumed  to  know  what 
ho  is  writing  about)  he  wdl  Icam  of  a  Ecport  of 
the  Committee  for  Privileges,  that 
"when  confirmed  by  the  TIouw,  it  has  eiUrayt  hien  eetn* 
fitlfretl  a  judgment  and  acted  upon  without  royal  or 
otber  confinomtipa  "  (p.  17), 

So  much  for  Mr.  Woodward*«  mngnzine  nrticlo, 
and  for  the  only  charge  of  inaccuracy  which  ho  can 
bring  against  me. 

Jill.  Woodward's  complaint  of  "sneers"  ia

fusion.   There  i^  no  SDcer  in  the  pluiu  fact  t.Ui.t.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES,         fe»B,vii.MATiB/88. 


Scottish  peerage  claims  are  decided  by  the  House 
of  Lords,  and  not  by  the  rotes  of  individual 
jurists  or  of  zealous  amateurs*  The  latter  classes 
may  be  as  right  as  they  please  in  all  their  (some- 
times conflicting)  views,  but  as  long  as  claims  of 
peerage  are  not  decided  by  them,  but  by  the 
House  of  Lords,  their  views,  when  differing  from 
those  of  the  Lords,  are  a  factor  which  the  practioal 
lawyer  is  compelled  to  exclude  ^om  his  problem. 
To  the  faistonan  and  antiquary,  per  coniray  these 
views  are  of  the  utmost  value. 

Mr.  Woodward  observes,  oddly  enough,  that 
certain  "eminent  students  of  Scottish  peerage 
law"  (Lord  Crawford,  James  Maidment,  &g.,  "  not 
to  cite  the  much-abused,  but  learned  and  con- 
scientious, authorities  of  the  Lyon  Office  ")  "  hare 
just  OS  little  respect  for  Lord  Redesdale's  new 
Mar  creation  as  they  hare  for  *  coronation  baro- 
nies.' "  I  do  not  quite  see  the  force  of  this  re- 
mark. The  only  **  coronation  barony "  that  has 
been  mentioned  is  that  of  Rutbren.  Does  Mr. 
Woodward  imply  that  these  eminent  students 
were  all  acquainted  with  Ruthren  as  a  "  corona- 
tion barony,"  and — like  Mr.  Foster— rejected  it 
accordingly  ?    Surely,  there  is  no  other  meaning. 

"  For  this  shadowy  figment,"  says  Mr.  Wood- 
ward (of  "  Lord  Bedesdale's  new  Mar  creation  ")— 
the  term  applies  admirably  to  T.  T.'s  Ruthren 
"  nomination  "  (p.  110)— "  we  are  to  give  up  the 
grand  old  earldom.''  No  donbt  it  would  be  morti- 
fying to  Scottish  pride  to  give  .up  such  a  lunu 
natxiraj  such  a  striking  constitutional  pheno- 
menon OS  an  earldom  that  has  been  held  by  *'  the 
Barls  of  Mar  "  (according  to  "  Lord  Mar  ")  "  for  tU 
lait  thoutand  years"  (!),  and  which  is  declared  by 
Sir  Bernard  Burke  (the  protdgi  of  the  Lyon  Office)  to 
have  been  created  *'  before  1014,'**  in  which  year 
it  was  rested,  as  we  all  know,  in  that  grand  old 
peer  of  the  realm  "  Earl  Donald  L  of  Mar."t  What 
u  depth  of  unconscious  satire  lurks  in  Lord  Hailes's 
naive  vaunt  that  this  earldom  "existed  before  our 
records,  and  before  tJu  era  of  genuine  history  /  " 

But  if  these  "  eminent  students  "  are  so  eager 
to  remove  the  mote  from  their  neighbour's  eye, 
namely  the  "  new  Mar  creation "  of  which  they 
allege  the  House  of  Lords  to  be  guilty,  why  do 
they  not  begin  at  home,  and  cast  out  the  beam 
from  their  own  eye  ?  Why  are  they  blind  to  the 
"new  creations''  for  which  we  are  indebted  to 
"  the  much  abused,  but  learned  and  conscientious, 
authorities  of  the  Lyon  Office"?  The  Lords 
"  create  "  only  by  resolution,  but  the  Lyon  Office 
by  "recognition"  and  "matriculation."  First, 
by  recognition.  In  a  Scottish  attack  on  Mr. 
Foster  to  which  I  have  already  alluded  it  is 
complained  that  he  relegates  to  "  diaos "  a  class 
described  as  "  baronets  by  recognitioiL"^    What 


"Ormium-Btton  1014."— BoAe's  Prnag^,  1888. 
horA  OnwM>  Rartdom^Jiar,  L  4& 


is  a  "baronet  hj  reeogniHon*'?  I  had  always 
imagined  that  baronets  were  created  &y  patent 
Is  a  Lyon  Office  "recognition"  (like  Scottish 
marmalade)  "  an  excellent  substitute  for "  that 
instrument  ?  Secondly,  by  m<Uriculation,  When 
Mr.  Goodeve-Erskine  was  allowed  by  the  Lyon 
Office  to  matriculate  arms  as  Earl  of  Mar  and 
Lord  GariocK,  this  was  at  least  as  much  a  "  new 
creation"  as  was  the  decision  of  the  House  of 
Lords.  In  fact,  to  adopt  the  tptissima  verba 
which  Mr.  Woodward  applies  to  the  latter  case, 
"  we  are  asked  to  acquiesce  in  "  Lyon's  "  new  crea* 

tion  of"  a  barony  of  Garioch*"  dating  from (!), 

although  we  have  no  patent  nor  anyUiing  else  that 
is  tangible  in  its  favour,"  I  appeal  to  loKORAiinB, 
to  T.  T.J  and  to  Mr.  Woodward  to  define  for  us 
the  position  of  this  dignity  in  the  natural  history 
of  the  peerage.  It  would  perhaps  be  too  crael  to 
describe  it  as  a  matriculation  barony  !

ecretary  of  State  under  Queen  Elizabeth,  and 
created  Earl  of  Salisbury  by  James  I.  In  1606.  It 
stood  on  the  south  side  of  the  Strand,  where  Cecil 
Street  now  is.  The  mansion  was  a  very  lai;g»  onc^ 
and  after  &is  death  was  divided  into  three  patti: 
Little  Salisbury  House,  which  was  polled  down  and  s

in  Strype's  Stow,  bk,  iv.  chap,  nl:  '*  Middle  Ex- 
change consisted  of  a  rery  long  and  large  rooo, 
with  shops  on  both  sides,  which  from  the  Strud 
run  as  ^  as  the  water-side,  where  was  a  hiad- 
some  pair  of  stairs  to  go  down  to  the  wat«^ 
side  to  take  boat  at ;  but  few  or  no  peo^ 
took  shops  there,  and  those  that  did  were  ioqil 
weary  and  left  them  :  insomuch  that  it  lay  ose- 
lesB,  except  three  or  four  shops  towards  the  Strand ; 
and  commg  into  the  earl's  hand,  this  Kxchasgi^ 
with  Great  Salisbury  House,  and  the  hoases  fronU 
ing  the  street,  are  pulled  down,  and  now  converted 
into  a  fair  street  called  Cecil  Street,  ronning  don 
to  the  Thames,  having  very  good  houses  te 
persons  of  repute." 

As  Lord  Salisbury  was  the  builder  of  the  ad- 
joining Now  Exchange,  opened  in  person  by  Kia| 
James  in  1609,  when  the  king  gave  it  the  nun 
of  Britain's  Burse,  it  is  probable  tbat  the  sob- 
sequently  formed  Middle  Exchange  was  deaigocd 
to  rival  the  New  Exchange,  and  that  it  oot* 
sequently  found  no  favour  with  Lord  Baliaboigb

Mr.  E.  Walford,  in  Old  and  New  London 
(toK  iii.  p.  104),  says  that  the  New  Exchange  woa 
opened  in  the  year  1609,  and  "  was  a  long  building 
running  parallel  to  tho  Strand,  and  its  site  is  now 
occupied  by  the  houses  Kos.  64  to  64,  the  bank 
of  Messrs.  Coutta  being  the  centre.  It  standi  on 
the  Covent  Garden  front  of  Durham  House."  Mr. 
Tiniba,  in  the  Curioiiiia  of  London  (pp.  330-1), 
agrees  with  Mr.  Walford,  and  aaya  that  it  stood 
OB  the  Boutb  aide  of  the  Strand,  having  been  built 
by  the  Earl  of  Suliabury  on  the  site  of  tb«  etablea

of  Durham  House.  He  adds  that  "  it  was  taken 
down  in  1737,  and  the  site  covered  with  houses  ; 
the  name  is  retained  in  Exobange  Court."  Mr. 
T.  J.  Smith,  however,  in  his  Str«<U  of  London 
(1&49),  pp.  144-5,  states  that  it  waa  "pulled

Thb  Denham  Famit.t  (6"*  8.  viL  107V— Yoar 
correspondent  Ofpir  does  not  say  whether  it  ia 
the  English  or  Scotch  family  he  desires  to  know 
about.  Presuming  that  the  four  brothers  Denham 
who  attended  Prince  Chftrlea  Edward  Stewart  to 
the  field  of  Culloden  in  1746  belonged  to  the 
northern  Denhnms,  I  beg  leave  to  give  him  a  few 
pjirticutars  of  the  family ;  but  I  regret  that  I  am 
uuahle  to  mention  anything  as  to  the  fate  of  the 
brothers;  indeed,  I  wiia  not  aware  that  any  of  my 
name  bad  been  in  the  ranks  of  the  Highlanders 
at  Culloden,  and  should  be  glad  to  learn  what  he 
knows  of  the  desceodenta  of  the  brother  who  re- 
mained in  the  lale  of  Wight. 

The  Denhama  of  Weatshield,  in  Lanarkshire, 
were  the  principal  family  in  Scotland  of  the  name, 
which  is  territorial,  and  originally  derived  from 
the  barony  of  Denholm,  or  Denham,  in  Boxburgh- 
ahire,  of  which  Sir  Thomas  Cranstoun  of  that  itk 
obtained  a  charter  of  confirmation  Sept.  10,  1441. 
Sir  Thomas  waa  anoestor  of  the  late  Lord  Cmn- 
stoun,  wboae  arms  were  simihir  to  the  Denhams', 
showing  a  probable  family  connexion.  Possibly 
Sir  Thomas  or  an  ancestor  bad  acquired  the 
barony  of  Denham  by  marriage  with  the  heiress. 
The  Cranatoun  anna  are:  Gules,  three  cranes  argent. 
Cre&t,  a  crane  sleeping  with  the  head  under  ita 
wing,  lifting  up  one  foot  with  a  stone;  and  for 
supporters  on  the  right  side  a  lady  richly  attired 
holding  out  a  buncb  of  strawberries  to  a  buck 
proper,  the  supporter  on  the  left  side.  Motto, 
"  Thou  sbalt  want  ere  I  want."  Tho  arms  of  Den- 
bom  of  West  Shiels,  or  Westsbield,  were:  Gulea, 
a  chevron  argent,  between  three  cranes'  heada 
eraaed  or;  crest,  n  crane  proper,  holding  in  her 
left  foot  a  stone;  motto,  '^Cura  dat  Yictoriam." 
The  Denhama  of  England,  four  fusiles  in  fesse, 
ermine  (see  Nisbeb's  heraldnff  vol.  i.). 

From  the  Denham  pedigree  given  in  the  Colt- 
nesa  collections  (Maitland  Club)  the  family  aeema 
to  have  had  an  early  settlement  in  Lanarkshire, 
probably  about  tho  year  1450,  or  earlier.  Andrew 
Denham,  of  Braidstaio,  married  Marion  Liddell, 
the  heiress  of  Weatahield,  and  it  descended,  tirat 
by  males  for  many  generations,  and  afterwards  by 
females,  to  the  late  Sir  James  Stewart  Denham, 
Bart.,  who  died  at  Cheltenham  Aug.  fi,  1839,  aged 
ninety-five,  being  at  the  time  of  hia  death  the 
senior  general  ana  the  oldest  soldier  in  the  British 
army.  He  was  colonel  of  the  Soota  Greys  from  1615 
till  oia  death,  and  had  been  an  oSioer  for  Berenty*

Been  Ibat  from  the  nncieai  family  of  Denbam  of 
Wealshield  arc  descended  some  of  the  principal 
families  of  Scotland.  I  refer  your  correspondent 
to  the  very  interesting  descent  sheet  of  the  Den- 
bam  memoir  of  the  Cultness  collections.  The  Dume 
ia  not  often  to  be  met  with  now,  but  more  fre- 
quently under  the  modero  spelling  Denbolm  than 
tho  older  and  more  correct  forni  Denhnm;  the 
nnmes  are  the  same,  however.  Your  correspondent 
will  find  some  of  the  family  settled  in  Eiut  Lothian, 
Berwickshire,  and  Lanarkshire:,  and  a  few  in  other 
countieii,  but  the  whole  number  is  very  small 

Sir  William  Denhaui,  BarL,  of  Westsbield, 
Master  of  the  Miiit,  is  stated  in  tho  pedigree  to 
hare  been  bom  in  1630  and  to  have  died  in  1732. 
If  this  ia  correct  be  was  one  hundred  and  two 
years  old  at  his  death.  Ho  was  married,  fimtj  to 
Janet  Maxwell;  secondly,  to  £li»ibeth  Henderson, 
of  the  Fordel  family;  and  thirdly,  to  Catherine, 
daughter  of  the  Lord  Oardross,  bat  died  withoat 
issuei  or,  at  all  events^  surviving  issue.  "John 
Denham  "  seems  to  have  held  the  office  of  Com- 
misaary-Oenerol  of  the  Soots  army  in  1650;  and 
"James  Denham,"  cornet  of  horse  in  the  Scots 
fttmyj  was  taken  prisoner,  along  with  other 
officers,  by  Oliver  Cromwell  at  the  buttle 'of 
Donbor,  Sept.  3,  1650. 

A  very  early  reference  to  the  English  Denhams 
concludes  this  rather  lengthy  reply  to  your  corre- 
spondent. On  the  I'ith  of  February,  13G6,  there 
was  on  indenture  between  King  Edward  III.  and 
the  abbot  of  St,  Albans  granting  corrody  to

said  to  be  the  «m:ille3t  in  EngUnd.  I  am  not 
aware  of  its  precipe  internal  dimensions,  butsho 
say,  from  memory,  that  these  could  scarcely 
less  than  those  mentioned  of  Pilham.  The  oi 
sion  on  which  I  was  present  at  the  service 
Wustdale  Church  was  in  connexion  with

pntised  for  want  of  breath  by-  the  clergy 
himself.  The  congregation  present  did  not  nnm^ 
mora  than  a  dozen  persons  at  the  outsiJc,  an 
thought  the  interior  looked  fairly  occupied.  The 
sermon  preached  was  the  briefest  I  ever  heard— 
short  of  foor  minutes,  as  I  timed  it.  The  weU-

There  is  a  rery  small  parish  church  on  the  Wye,

I  recently  found  the  following  story  in  the 
"Varieties"  column  of  a  newspaper.  When  Sir 
George  Rose  was  dining  on  one  occasion  with  the 
late  Lord  Langdolo,  his  host  spoke  of  the  very 
diminative  church  in  Langdale,  of  which  his  lord- 
»bip  was  patron.  "  It  is  not  bigger,"  said  Lord 
Langdale,  "than  this  dining-room,"  "No,"  re- 
turned Sir  George,  "and  the  living  not  half  so 
good,"  Hirohdelle. 


OfiAKOB  OP  CnasT  (B**"  S.  vii.  107).— Tt  is  not 
likely  that  Mr.  Salter  will  find  any  rule  for  tho 
alterations  of  which  he  speaks  ;  but  ho  himself 
supplies,  if  he  be  correct,  an  extraordinary  amount 
of  aathority.  He  speaks,  1,  of  the  original;  2,  of 
tlie  first  difference;  3,  of  the  second  difference;  4, 
of  the  third  difference;  6,  of  what  he  calls  a  fourth 
difference  on  the  authority  of  a  grant  9  H.  VIII. ; 
6,  7,  8,  9,  confirmations  of  all  these,  1,  2,  3,  4,  at 
subsequent  visitations  to  the  original.  It  would  be 
interesting  to  learn  on  what  data  lie  has  founded 
this  idea.  A  grant  9  H.  VJII.  must  have  been  rarely 
prior  to  all  viaitatioos ;  and  were  not  these  cases 
of  men  of  different  families,  not  really  differences 
in  the  cose  of  "younger  sons  upon  setting  up  a 
houBe"?  Arms  apparently  allowed  in  visitation 
books  are  sometimes  accompanied  by  a  contem- 
porary grant  not  there  noticed;  and  occasionally, 
,      at  a  subsequent  visitation,  apparently  in  ignor- 


allowed  show  somewhat  different  bearings  in  arms 
and  crest,  though  a  descent  iiom  the  first  family  is 
distinctly  recorded.  C^vT.

author  was  supposed,  I  imagine,  to  be  not  Canon

therefore,  I  forbear  to  name.  But  this  may  have 
been  corrected  by  later  information.

The  circumstances  attending  his  exile,  as  con- 
nected with  these  towns,  may  bo  briefly  noticed. 
The  Timet  had  for  some  time,  through  its  corre- 
spondentfl,  been  placing  tho  foreigner  in  posses- 
Bion  of  every  conceivable  means  for  the  invasion 
of  England,  to  the  alarm  of  the  residents  on  the 
south  coast,  and  to  the  stirring  up  of  Hastings 
courage,  through  which,  anticipating  the  general 
movement,  a  volunteer  regiment  of  rifles  was  or- 
ganized for  self-protection.  On  a  sudden  the  news 
of  invasion  came,  but  it  was  by  Louis  Philippe,  in 
the  person  of  Mr.  Smith  and  his  small  company  of 
followers,  which  hod  landed  at  Newhaven  and  had 
oomo  on  to  St.  Leonards.  When  the  Empress 
EugiSnie  came  to  England  under  similar  circum- 
stances, she  also  came  to  Hastings,  and  took  refuge 
in  the  Marine  Hotel,  next  door  to  tho  former 
residence  of  her  husband  in  1840,  where  she

NOTES  AND  QUERIE».        [«*8.vii.  mat  19/83. 


NxTRAGHBS  (6"»  S.  tIL  247.  313).— I  have  re- 
produced in  tbe  Qiomale  degli  Entditi  «  Curion 
the  query  on  this  subject  by  Dfi.  Charnoce  and 
(he  learned  reply  by  Mr.  0.  H.  £.  Oarhichakl. 
I  have  myself  received  seTcral  replies,  notably  one 
from  Prof.  Ettore  Pais,  Director  of  the  Museum, 
Sassari,  Sardinia,  at  the  present  moment  absent  in 
Berlin  on  a  visit  to  the  illustrious  Mommsen. 
I  condense  the  substance  of  the  replies  received 
by  me,  aa  they  may  be  of  interest  to  your  readers. 

The  etymology  of  the  word  miragh€$  has  been 
often  attempted,  bat  hitherto  without  snccess. 
Some  have  found  its  origin  in  the  Semitic  root 
nur,  fire.  Canon  Spano,  the  distinguished  Sar- 
dinian antiquary,  takes  nur-kag  to  mean  fire- 
circle,  or  hearth,  which  would  agree  well  with  his 
view  that  the  nuraghes  were  dwelling-houses.  On 
the  other  hand,  Prof.  Fiecchia,  in  the  Memorie 
of  the  Royal  Academy  of  Turin,  regarded  this 
etymology  as  unfounded,  and  proposed  a  very 
ingenious  theory  of  his  own,  based  on  the  prin- 
ciples of  Keo-Latin  Glottology,  arguing  a  possible 
change  of  m  into  n.  Thus,  yiuraghea  would  be 
muraghtSf  muraecij  %,$,,  old  houses,  literally  old 
walls.  But  of  this  change  of  letters  no  proof  has 
been  given,  and  Prof.  Puis  is  unacquainted  with 
any  documents  in  which  the  name  appears  under 
the  supposed  form  of  muraghu,  while  the  existing 
form  nuragha  may  be  traced  iu  writings  dated 
u  far  back  as  the  thirteenth  century. 

The  suggestion  made  by  Prof.  Pais  in  the  Atti 
of  the  Boyal  Academy  of  the  Lincei  of  Borne,  on 
the  other  band,  seems  to  deserve  careful  considera- 
tion. Pointing  to  the  fact  that  nuraghes  exist  in 
the  island  of  Minorca  under  the  name  of  talaiattf 
and  that  (he  island  itself  was  called  Nura,  while 
there  are  districts  in  Africa  called  Nourali  and 
Naragarra,  Pais  urges  the  possibility  of  an  African 
source  for  the  disputed  etymology. 

The  form  nuraghe  is  clearly  indigenous  in  Sar- 
dinia, as  appears  by  the  i\,amber  of  places  recorded 
in  the  extract  from  La  Marmora  printed  in 
"N.  &  Q."  in  Mr.  Carmichakl's  reply.  It 
would  seem,  therefore,  that  the  hypothesis  adopted 
by  Prof.  Pais  agrees  very  well  with  the  reasoning 
of  those  ethnologists  who  advocate  the  Libyan 
origin  of  the  early  inhabitants  of  the  Balearic 
Islands  and  also  of  Sardinia^ 

Tbe  true  etymology  is,  perhaps,  still  to  be 
sought;  but,  in  tbe  meanwhile,  the  views  of 
Prof.  Pais  seem  deserving  of  consideration  by  Dk. 
CnARNOCE  and  other  £nglish  philologists  and 
ethnologist!  interested  in  the  long-standingproblem 
of  the  origin  and  etymology  of  the  nuraghei.

•I  fluuot  admit  that  I  haro  added  tbo 


senses  "employ,  have  the  use  of,"  of  the  M.K. 
verb  Ifroken,  out  of  my  own  head,  as  Dr.  Chakcb 
accuses  me  of  doing.  I  appeal  from  the  aenses  oa 
given  by  Matzner  to  the  very  examples  which 
Matzner  cites.  The  very  common  pbrase  "  to 
mot  I  broule  min  eyen"  means,  "as  I  hope  to 
have  die  um  of  my  eves."  The  fact  that  I  long 
ago  explained  hr<mk€  by  "  to  use  "  in  my  glossary 
to  Havelok,  and  hrooU  by  "  continue  to  use "  in 
my  glossary  to  SptcimenM  of  EnglUJ^,  at  onoe  dis- 
poses of  the  accusation  that  I  invented  these  ex- 
planations for  the  purpose  of  manipulating  the 
senses  of  the  word.  That  the  word  is  difficult,  I 
admit ;  that  Dr.  CnAKCB  may  be  right  is  pro- 
bable. Still  that  only  shows  that  I  am  fallible, 
not  that  I  am  an  impostor.  It  is  very  difficult 
not  to  err  nnconBcioualy ;  but  I  think  all  will  bear 
witness  that  imposition  is  just  the  very  thing  I 
have  uncompromisingly  protested  against  as  well 
08  I  can  ever  since  I  have  written  anything.  It 
is  insufficient  to  say  that  I  am  "  not  aware  I  * 
manipulate  the  senses  of  words  ;  for  the  senses 
"employ,  hare  the  use  of"  most  certainly  occur. 
Certainly  Dr.  Chajice's  list  of  words  in  -«rt  will 
be  useful,  if  there  is  space  for  it ;  it  must  be 
rather  a  long  one.  Walter  W.  Sexat. 

The  Patronymic  -ino  (6*"  S.  vii.  301).— Mr. 
Eerslake  runs  a-tilt  at  Kemble'a  canon  as  to  the 
gentile  patronymic  names  in  -tn^,  and  quotes  me 
OS  having  accepted  it.  If  he  will  look  at  the  notes 
appended  to  the  passage  he  refers  to  (  Word$  and 
Plactif  p.  134),  he  will  see  that  I  notice  certain 
notable  exceptions  to  the  law  that  -iug  is  ordinarily 
a  patronymic  suffix,  and  that  I  draw  special  atten- 
tion to  Kemble's  remarkable  paper  in  the  PhihUh 
aieal  Proccfdingt  (vol.  iv.  pp.  1-9),  in  which  he 
largely  qualifies  the  generalization  laid  down  in 
The  Saxons  in  England.  I  would  also  observe 
that  a  large  number  of  names  in  -ham,  especially 
those  near  rivers,  have  nothing  to  do  with  hom$  or 
htim ;  but  it  is  only  exceptionally,  as  in  the  case 
of  Durham,  that  these  are  corruptions  of  kolnu 
The  correct  meaning  was  long  ago  pointed  out  by 
Leo  in  his  Rectihidines^  and  a  number  of  good 
instances  have  been  brought  together  by  Mr. 
Monkhouse  in  his  Bedfordthire  Etijniologiet.  The 
modern  pronunciation  often  preserves  the  etymo- 
logy, -htim  being  a  place  enclosed  or  hemmed  in, 
while  -ham  denotes  the  homo  of  the  primitive 
settler.  Isaac  Tatlor.

therto  and  styr  it  welo  oaer  the  fyre,  and  eeson  it 
with  anger  and  powder  of  caneile,  with  mn^e, 
qtiibibs  und  nnneya  in  coofete."  The  firot  sjlluble 
is,  I  think,  the  Nortnau  French  viat  in  mat-on^ 
which  M.  Gmndf(uc;DnK^  explains  as  "  (^^rumeau  ou 
caiUofc  de  lait=Afr.  [Old  Fr.]  ma/,  mate,  lait  cuill^ 
dont  on  fivit  le  fromAf;«."  He  also  expbins  it  an 
meaning  "sorte  de  fromivge  fait  de  crunie  et 
d'oeufa  m^lcs."  Ro(^iiefort  has,  "  Mat,  matCf  lait 
oaill6  dont  on  fait  le  fromogo ;  ces  mots  aont 
encore  tuite^  dans  plusieurs  provinces  de  U  France." 
Its  primary  meaning  is  something  that  forms  a 
mass,  and  it  is,  therefore,  a  name  for  the  0ower  of 
the  snow-ball  (guelder  rose).  When  applied  to 
milk  it  denotes  n  cnrded  state.  In  the  Walloon 
country  and  in  Picardy  it  appears  in  "ma/oif/J. 
ragout  compost  d'altments  m^langbs  ou  mSles.' 
Figym  is  probably  connected  with  Med.  Lat 
piceia^  a  fowl  or  chicken,  for  the  dish  was  formed 
chiefly  of  milk,  the  brawn  of  capons,  and  "  chicken 
parboiled  and  chopped."  J.  D.

Thb  Bkacom  Tower  ukar  WoKiyo  (5""  S.  vii. 
107X — I  remember  this  tower,  having  resided  in 
the  neighbourhood  from  183A  to  1834.  It  was 
about  one  hundred  feet  high,  nnd  open  from  ground 
to  roof,  though  (here  wore  indications  of  stairs 
haTing  once  existed.  The  occupier  of  Hoe  Farm, 
in  whose  grounds  it  stood,  had  a  colony  of  pigeons 
which  nestled  in  and  about  its  leaden  roof.  I  saw 
it  Again  about  the  year  1840  or  1341  intact.  About 
lS7fl  or  1876  I  walked  from  Woking  Common  stn- 
tioQ  to  Woking  itself,  and  missed  the  once  familiar 
object.  Upon  inquiry  I  was  told  that  a  few  years 
previously  the  owner  bad  blown  the  bottom  out 
with  gunpowder,  for  the  sake  of  the  bricks  of 
which  the  tower  was  built. 

The  tradition  in  the  neighbourhood,  when  I  was 
ft  boy,  was  that  it  had  been  built  by  a  very  wickf^d 
man  named  Zoiich,  who  then  lived  at  the  foot 
of  the  hill  upon  which  it  stood,  and  that  it  was 
Died  for  a  beacon  to  guide  poraons  crossing  the 
heaths.  There  wax  also  a  row  of  bouses  adjoining 
Woking  Cburchynrd,  which  were  of  extraordinary 
height,  and  which  were  said  to  have  been  built  by 
the  same  man  to  shut  out  the  view  of  the  church 
from  his  bouse.  There  were  scores  of  legt'nds  as  to 
this  Zouch,  every  one  of  which  represented  him  as 
a  monster  of  wickedoefis.  Mr.  Ltnh  is  wrong  in 
speaking  of  a  church  at  Stoke,  there  being  no 
church  there.  Send  Church  and  Woking  Church 
would  be  pretty  nearly  in  the  line  indicated.

ing  chapels  in  Man  are  "all  that  is  now  left  of 
the  public  use  of  Manx."  But  surely  the  Acts  of 
Tynwald  are  still  proclaimed  yearly  in  Manx  as 
well  as  in  English,  from  the  Tynwald  Hill  at  St. 
John's  7  When  I  was  lost  in  the  isiUnd,  some 
ten  years  ago,  I  heard  Manx  spoken,  though  rarely, 
in  the  market  plooe  at  Donglit'3  on  market  day; 
I  heard  it  on  the  hills  above  the  Foxdale  lead 
minea,  and  in  cottages  near  Peel,  and  ([  think) 
at  Craigneisl],  and  certainly  in  some  farmsteads 
on  the  west  coast,  beyond  Gleo  M;iy.  At  one  of 
these  the  whole  household  spoke  Manx  among 
themselves,  and  the  elders  hardly  knew  any 
English. 

The  only  way  to  preserve  the  Manx  tongue  ii 
to  encourage  it  and  make  it  useful,  which  could 
be  done  by  allowing  it  in  schools  side  by  side 
with  EogUsh,  and  by  fostering  among  the  people 
a  taste  for  their  own  old  legends  and  ballads. 
This,  however,  caonot  be  hoped  for.  The  Manx* 
men,  indeed,  have  a  certain  just  pride  in  Elian 
Vannin.  But  when  a  small  and  poor  people,  of 
mixed  race,  is  suddenly  allowed  to  share  th« 
wealth  of  Liverpool  anrf  M;»nchester,  is  invaded 
by  countle&s  Britieh  Trincnlo^,  whose  money  It 
understands  but  whose  contemptuoos  ignoranoo  it 
takes  for  wisdom,  then  truly  we  may  abandon 
all  bopo  that  the  insular  life  and  laneuage  will 
hist.  The  Philistines  are  upon  Elian  Vnnnio,  or 
rather  she  herself  is  in  league  with  Dagon.

of  Eagland.  I  have  frec^uently  heard  the  word  so

All  Souls  (6*  S,  yii.  8,  295).— T  rentarc  to 
think  that  the  church  at  Auf;hton,  referred  to  by 
Mr.  BLKNCiifaorr  cu  a  solitary  cvumple  of  the 
extraordinary  name  of  "  All  Soma  "  being  given  to 
a  church,  did  not  originally  bear  that  name,  which 
wot  probably  the  invention  of  Bonio  very  ignorant 
or  very  nltra-Proteatant  rector— I  ask  pardon  for 
the  hendiadys — in  comparatively  modern  times. 
My  reason  for  saying  this  is  that  I  find  in  the 
TettamenUi  Ebora^^tuia  (Surtees  Society,  pt.  ii. 
p,  76)  this  same  church  ia  calle*!  by  the  more 
appropriate  name  of  "  All  Saints."  The  words  ar* 
from  the  will  of  AJeisa  Myton:  "Item,  lejfo  ad 
fdbricam  ecclesim  Omnium  Sanctorum  de  Aghton 
quinqne  marcas  argenti."  The  date  of  the  will  is 
H40,  I  need  scarcely  say  that  All  Souls'  ColleRe, 
Oxford — a  foundation  in  memory  of  all  who 
perished  in  the  wars  with  Franco — is  not  a  case  in 
point.  Tho  servico  for  the  consecration  of  churches 
IS  sufficient  to  show  tbo  impropriety  of  dedicating 
a  church  to  "All  Souls."  We  certainly  are  dread- 
fully in  want  of  a  Congregation  of  Rites  to  keep 
these  Ihinys  straight.  0.  K.  W,

Milner,  in  their  Lanocuhirt  Olouary  (E.D.S.), 
give  the  word  in  the  same  form  as  the  "  name  for

whoso  duties  it  was  to  take  up  and  drive  away 
any  beggars  in  the  district,  and  '  prosecute  them

appears  as  baiibeggar.

I  think  this  name  onght  to  be  banglbeggar,  be- 
cause some  forty  years  ago  it  was  the  provincial 
term  applied  to  the  parish  beadle  in  the  county 
of  Chester,  from  his  presumed  power  of  being  able 
to  apply  corporal  punishment  to  vagrants.  In 
IJalliweH's  Dictionary  of  Arc}uiic  and  Provincial 
H''oriU  may  be  found,  8,v.  Bang  (2),  "To  strike  ; 
to  shut  with  violence.  Vor.  Dial.  Hence,  to 
snrpiss,  to  beat."  Bangheggar,  "  A  beadle. 
Derhysliire.  Also  a  term  of  reproach,  a  vaga- 
bond." Hogarth,  in  one  of  the  scenes  of  his 
idle  and  industrious  apprentices,  has  depicted 
the  beadle  or  bangbeggar  discbarging  one  of  the 
functions  of  his  office,  by  stealing  unawares  on 
the  idle  apprentice  playing  at  chuck  farthing  on  a 
tombstone  dnring  divine  service,  and  preparing  to 
apply  his  uplifted  rattan  to  the  boy's  person.

The  incident  alluded  to  by  G.  \V.  AL,  of  a  wife 
who  buried  eight  husbands,  reminds  me  of  an 
epigram  of  Murlial's  (ix.  16)  on  a  wicked  woman 
who  buried  seven  husbands,  whom  she  was  sus- 
pected of  having  poisoned,  and  then  raised  a 
monument  to  their  memory,  and  at  the  foot  in- 
scribed, "  Sefecisse  Chloe,"  which  was  interpreted 
aa  a  confession  of  her  Crimea  : —

who  have  no  notions  beyond  their  daily  wants,

by  the  Koran,  "  Turn  thy  face  towards  the  holy 
temple  of  Mecca  "  (chap.  ii.  v.  139),  the  pointed 
end  of  a  design  is  placed  in  that  direction  in 
divine  worship  (praise,  not  prayer).

Folk-lore  or  the  Lookiso-Glass  (0**  8. 
vii.  108).— I  remember  that  in  Eesteven  it  was 
not  considered  at  all  the  thing  to  give  oneself  the 
pleasure  of  introducing  a  baby  to  it«elf  in  a  took- 
ing-gUas;  but  I  cannot  recall  ever  hearing  why  it 
was  "  not  lucky."  The  supposed  doom  of  the  re- 
flected infant  reminds  one  of  the  fate  of  Narcissui. 
I  confess  I  had  a  suspicion  that  it  was  fear  for 
herself,  and  not  for  her  child,  that  led  a  mother  to 
deprecate  anything  suggestive  of  an  early  replica 
of  it.  I  thought  the  fancy  might  be  classed 
one  noted  in  "  West  Sussex  Superstitions,"

By  the  way,  I  observe  that  the  rocker  has  gone 
out  of  fashion — a  check  on  popalation  never  con- 
templated by  Mr.  Malthus.  That  it  is  unlucky 
to  break  a  looking-glass  is  an  article  of  faith  ;  that 
"  'tis  ill  luck  to  see  one's  face  in  a  classeby  candle-

the  value  cf  his  labours,  h«8  contrived  in  some  iiitportani 
respects  to  tupplerocnt  thrm.  Home  foundation  exists 
for  the  censure  passed  hjr  Mr.  Uobsun  upon  I^wrence, 
that  he  attempted  an  impotiible  task  in  seeking  to  make 
Fielding  a  literary  centre.  So  good  is  l^wrenoe'a  work, 
however,  that  a  volume  weaker  than  that  of  Mr.  Dobson 
would  probably  have  failed  to  olt-iin  a  hearing.  Very

terested in  bibtiograpbj  and  id  the  history  of  literature. 
Benedictines  and  Jesuits,  to  name  only  these  two  order*, 
have  long  bad  their  catalogues  of  writers;  it  was  high 
time  that  a  congregation  which  boasts  of  such  men  as  P« 
Bcrulle,  Rtchsrd  bimoo,  Malebrsncbe,  and  MaMtllon 
should  possess  a  similar  aeries  of  ^arti.  As  Father 
Ingoid  truly  remarks,  a  society  which  m  the  phort  space  of 
less  than  two  centuries  haj  produced  3^6  authors,  many  of 
whom  are  distingutsbed  by  their  science  as  well  »s  bv 
their  virtue,  can  justly  bo  proud  of  the  influence  it  still 
enjoys,  tju^tif  and  Ecbard  published  the  BiHwihtca 
iScnpiorMm  Ordinis  Minorum  /f  Dom  Tacsin's  ilatoir* 
LttUiaite  de  la  Ccnf/regation  dt  Saint  Afaur  is  well 
known  :  our  author's  hvrXure,  modestly  brought  out 
under  the  simple  title  of  £iiaf\  is,  we  hope,  only  tbe 
promisfl  of  a  larger  and  more  ambitious  work ;  a«  a  skctcli 
It  cannot  be  too  b'ghly  praised. 

Tltc  honour  of  competing  a  literary  bistoi?  of  the 
French  Oratorians  has  already  tempted  teverafwriteri, 
and  Father  Ingoid,  in  his  prefnce.  mentions  Le  Bran 
(16(11  —  1729),  OloyseauU  (1»HS  -1728J,  Batterel  (1660— 
37W),  I>e«moleU  (ItiTS— ITfiO),  Uougerel  (lliSO— 1760), 
and  lastly  Adr;  (1749—1818)  ;  but  aome  of  tbe  works 
of  these  authors  are  incomplete,  others  have  mystr* 
riouttly  disappeared,  and  none  of  those  which  time  hat 
handed  Aowa  to  as  reaUiei  satitfactorily  the  plao  con- 
ceived by  the  prevent  librarian;  hence  this  Ettai,  com* 
E riling  DOticct  nnd  bibliographical  lists  not  only  of  pa«(, 
ut  of  conten  pr.rary  nieml  era  of  the  Oratory.  Father 
IngoM  has  addrd,  by  way  (T  introdurtion  to  bis  catalogue^ 
Father  Adry'e  t-uii  preface,  >fhich  liad  never  yet  been 
printed,  and  which  cuntains.  amongst  other  details,  an 
account  of  the  foundation  of  the  Oratoire.  It  was  not  con- 
sistent with  the  author's  original  plan  todo  otherwise  Iban 
merely  mention  the  leu  illustrious  membtrs  of  Ike 
society;  accordingly,  the  only  ones  wbo  aie  mads  tha

longer  one,  bow  many  arc  known  to  our  readers  I  Who 
except  journalists  have  ever  heard  of  the  Abb6  Onujet'a 
voluminous  ptiblirations  I  Wbo  but  Bible  scholars  are 
acquainted  with  Houbtgant's  I'roif/omena in Scriplurem 
tSacrumt  The  name  of  Lclonif  liimself  conveys  very 
little  impresflhtn  ti>  pcrsrni  not  interested  in  (he  history

by  men  of  t«ste  on  tliia  as  wall  at  on  the  other  side  nf

England. 

There  is  no  doubt  llial,  ntting  apart  the  notice  of 
Cardinal  de  B^tulle.  the  three  otnen  which  are  likely 
to  be  molt  eagerly  cotisutted  will  ho  those  of  Male-

Lord  Kortliwick  employed  Del  Fralc,  a  ntipit  of 
Ciinova,  to  dmw  bia  coina,  with  a  view  to  pnbliofttioo. 
Ho  produced  for  our  inapectton  one  drawing  done  by 
Cnmuccini,  when  a  very  young  man,  from  tho  bead  of 
Arcthu»i  on  tbo  fanioua  3>rucuaan  medallion.  Lord 
Northwick  showed  to  Mra.  J&mcson  and  myself  his  own 
manuscript  catalogue  of  hia  coins,  prepared  entirely  with 
bit  own  pen.  bnrd  Northwick  told  me  that  lio  neror  waa 
at  a  unircraity,  butwent  firdt  to  a  ichool  at  Uackney.and 
had  been  cent  abroad  at  tho  age  offineen.  Uo  wai  ac- 
quainted with  Heroux  D'Agincourt  in  Rome. 

Lord  Northwick  hod  an  aiiartment  fittod  ap  in  tha 
palnco  of  Quei'H  .Toannn  at  Naples,  and  spent  a  summer 
there.  Sir  William  Hamilton  used  to  call  for  Lord 
Northwick  at  the  Gran  Urctagno. 

Nov.  12.  Lord  Northwick  gave  tno  an  account  of  hia 
visits  to  Notion  ot  tbo  period  of  Cnraccioli's  trial,  Uo 
vaa  then  on  board  the  Vanguard,  and  ordered  to  with. 
draw,  with  all  etr&ngers,  from  the  room  durintt  the  deli- 
boratlrn  on  the  sentence.  He  diued  with  tbo  officera 
that  day  at  five  o'clock,  and  Nelson,  who  bad  been  very 
sulky  all  day.  was  not  preoent.  A  gun  fired,  and  Lady 
HamiitoQ  exclaimed,  '*  Thank  Ood  1  Thai  seals  tho 
doom  ofo  traitor!"  On  ruibing  to  the  window,  they 
law  Cnraccioli  supprnded  at  the  liead  of  the  veaael.  The 
body,  in  full  ri^giniontala,  waa  thrown  into  the  ft  a.  Tbo 
King  of  Napltri  was  to  hurt  and  deeply  offunded  that  ho 
refused  to  fulfil  a  iTorai.-w  which  be  had  made,  or  rather 
Toluntccrtd,  t<»  visit  Ncl«on  in  his  ship.  Nelson  and  Sir 
William  Hamilton  went  naborc  to  Procida  to  make  apo- 
lo^iei  to  bini.  Lady  Hamilton  engaged  a  boat  with 
muricianEi,  and  lured  him  on  board.  The  kinR  remained 
tlicro.  AlMut  ten  daya  after  the  execution  of  Caraccioli 
tho  kin^,  Rtill  on  U-ard  the  Vnnguard,  woke  early,  and 
ftt  three  o'clock,  in  lummer  weather,  began  to  wash,

under  it.  Whilst  washlofr,  after  plunging  bis  head  into 
colli  water,  be  saw  tbo  body  of  Caraccioli  floating  in  tbo 
scu  beneath  the  window.  The  king  shrieked  ou^  and 
ruibcd.witb  nothing  but  his  shirt  on,  to  !5ir  William

GEor/iE  SciiAEr, 

F.  G/s  account  ^'vufc,  p.  '^23^  in  interesting,  but 
it  crin  barJly  be  treated  m  evidence,  because  the 
DobleinuQ  who  i^ave  it  in  1^71  could  8c:trcely 
i!|>eak  froiji  personal  knowled^u  of  what  took  place 
in  J7!J'>,  but  tuu&t  have  rciiieiubcrcd  what  he  heard 
in  childhood ;  the  utatenient  must  therefore  be 
received  with  caution  where  it  differs  from  the 
accountu  given  by  those  who  were  present  at  the 
tiuiC. 

The  Foudroyant  was  at  anchor  in  the  bay  of 
Kaptc.)  on  the  ni^ht  of  Juno  24,  1790,  and  the 
reb'.llion  waH  practically  at  an  end.  Early  on  the 
morning  of  the  2!nh  Prince  Caracciolo,  one  of  the 
Icadefif,  wai  brought  in  a  boat  to  the  Foudroyant, 
(V  captive,  wretchedly  attired,  and  with  his  hands 
bound  behind  him.  Capt.  Hardy  received  him, 
ordered  him  to  be  unbound,  and  gave  him  in 
charge  to  Lieut.  I'arkinaon.  He  was  placed  in  ft 
cabin  as  a  prisoner,  and  with  two  sentinels  to 
guard  him.  Nelson  immediately  drew  up  the 
order  to  Count  Thtirn  to  assemble  a  court-martial, 
to  coniivt  of  binnelf  as  president,  and  five  other 
Sicilian  senior  officers.  The  court  met  on  board 
tho  I'oudroyant  at  ten  o'clock,  the  trial  was  over 
at  twelve,  and  tho  pris«iuer  withdrawn.  Sentence 
was  soon  after  pronounced,  and  an  order  for  Win 
execution  the  same  day  at  five  oVlock,  on  board 
Count  Thurn's  frigate,  L.i  Minerva,  was  signed  by 
Nelson.  It  Ciin  hardly  be  doubted  that  when  the 
court  was  cleared  for  judgment  Caracciolo  wm 
removed  to  his  cabin  and  strictly  guardeil, 
that  tho  decision  was  commuuic-tled  to  him  by 
Lieut.  Parkinson,  and  that  a-i  soon  as  it  was  so 
communicated  to  him  ho  implort*il  Lieut.  Parkin- 
son to  go  to  Nelson  and  try  to  influence  him,  as  an 
uld  friend,  to  obtain  for  him  a  new  trial,  a  com- 
nntation  of  sentence,  or  at  leant  a  less  dishonour- 
able mode  of  execution  than  the  halter.  All  this 
failed.  We  know  that  Nehon  s;\id  at  last,  with 
much  emotion,  "  I  cannot  interfero";  that  a  little 
before  five  o'clock  tho  prisoner  was  removed  to 
Thurn's  frigate,  I>:i  Minerva ;  and  that  he  was 
there  hanged  at  five  o'clock,  in  uccnrdanco  with 
tho  order  given.  That  whilst  waiting  for  tho 
verdict  ho  wai,  as  now  suggested,  giving  a  lecture 
on  rigging  to  some  young  men  is,  I  think,  clearly 
a  fiction.  That  ho  put  "the  letter"  aside  and 
went  on  with  hit  lecture  is  wholly  improbable. 
fihe  oould  bare  done  n,  and  did,  it  woald  hare 


been  no  evidence  of  braverr,  but  r 
theatrical  bravado.  I  think  he*  was  who 
this. 

The  other  r^iestion  raised  i!<,  When  a 
did  the  floating  body  appear  to  the  king  } 
be  rememfiered  that  the  king  was  at  P^i 
the  day  of  the  trial  and  execution.  It  wj 
July  1"  that  he  returned  to  Naples  in  bis 
the  Sirano,  attended  by  H.B.M.'s  ship 
and  took  up  his  abode  the  following  dur, 
at  4  A.M.,  on  Nel'on's  ship  the  Foudroya: 
he  made  his  headquarters  for  some  time. 
on  the  third  day  after  this,  that  i?,  on 
July  14,  that  the  king  saw,  to  his  horroi 
right  fioatiog  body  of  his  former  admir 
high  out  of  water,  apparently  driftinfr  tow 
with  a  pale  face,  open  eyes,  and  t.ing1ed  1 
thia  day  the  king  was  living  on  Nelson's 
Nelson,  to  please  his  royal  guest,  took 
cruise  every  afternoon.  It  is  said  that  a  1 
had  reported  to  the  officers  of  the  Foudro 
Caracciolo*s  body  had  risen  and  was  flo 
wards  the  shore.  This  is  not  very  it 
Anyhow,  the  king  went  out  to  sea,  mo^ 
rities  say  on  board  the  Foudroyant,  and 
it  was  so,  for  there  seems  no  reason  why  I 
leave  Nelson's  ship  on  that  afternoon  am 
to  sea  "on  a  Sicilian  ship  of  war."  All 
tends  to  show  that  he  was  on  board  the  Foi 
It  wtis  Capt.  Hardy  who  first  recognized 
ing  body,  and  it  was  he  who  weighed  tb 
headed  shot  which  the  sailors  who  took  t 
to  shore  brought  back  to  him,  and  whi 
told  General  Coiletta,  weighed  fifty-twf

emperor  Constantine,  *'In  hoc  Jtj/^w  vinces," 

um  took  a  new  departure,  and  was  especially 

to  the    sign    of    the  cross.     Liictantius 

rds,  "  Commonitus  eat  in  qiiiete  Constantinus, 

t  C»^]e8to  at'^num  Dei  notaret  in  Scatis."    A^^ain, 

Imposuerunt  frontibus  suia  immortale  signujn," 

wna  also  called  '*  ijignum  Christi,"  e.  g.,  |'  signuin 

VAtoria  Domini    nostri   Jesa  Chriati  in  fronto 

pono."     "  Signaculum  Christi  super  pUgara 

uens."     Si^i-arc  aUo   meant  *Uignum    cracia 

iftitis    ac    manu  afhngere."      Henc«   arose    the 

!signatare"  by  marking  a  oroas,  when  the  p&rties 

lold   not  write,  and  the  cross  which  Catholic 

ioleaiasticfl  usually  pceHx  to  their  names  in  sign- 

In  a  deed  of  seoarity  of  the  time  of  Justinian, 

ivcn   by  Ducange,  we   read,  "  Hano  plenariam 

scuritatem  scribendam  dictavi,  in  i^ua  pro  igno- 

kntia  UterArum  aubter  signum  feci,"    This  sign 

crojs  was  not  intended  to  represent  tho  cross  of 

rood,  hot  the  Greek  letter  X,  being  the  initial  of 

le  name  of  ChriKl.     Olirid,  or  hii  cciiiuientator 

[ninth    century),    lays,    "  Credibile    est     primoi

"  Now  should  we  protect  ouraelve*  with  the  tign 
oF  the  cross."  The  Anglo-Saxons  called  the 
Labamm,  or  standard  decorated  with  the  sign  of 
the  cross,  tegcn. 

The  use  of  tign  and  its  derivatives  in  English 
in  their  origianl  L^tin  sense,  comes  to  us  from 
Fr.  lignCf  and  is  of  compintirely  late  inlroduo- 
tion.  Littro  can  liod  no  traces  of  its  oocarrenca 
previous  to  the  thirteenth  century.  In  Eagliah  it 
cannot  be  traced  beyoni  the  time  of  Ghauoer, 
except  in  a  pussge  of  Piers  Plowman,  of  which 
the  meaning  ia  doubtful. 

So  much  for  tiyn.  Lot  us  now  see  what  is  th4 
hbttury  of  «Crt/=3igUlum,  Prof.  Skeitsaya  ^^Sijii* 
Inin  is  the  diminutive  of  lignum."  This  oin 
hardly  be,  since  the  natural  diminutive  Aignncio 
lum  has  existed,  both  in  classical  and  medi.'eval 
Latin,  from  the  earliest  period.  C^mpire  hahitaliOf

Whilst  $ign  and  its  derivatives  are  of  late  ia- 
troductioD,  the  word  tigtl^  iigl  is  found,  with  alight 
variations,  over  a  very  extensive  range  of  languages. 
The  Hebrew  shekel,  both  aa  a  C')in  and  weitiht, 
was  oognate,  if  not  identical,  with  Persian  a-iykos, 
which  ia  mentioned  by  Xenophon  in  his  Anaff:uis, 
The  Lat.  tigU-lutn  is  the  same  r.)dtc:il  with  the 
case  ending  added.  It  ia  found  in  every  Teutonic 
language  from  time  iramemoriat  A.-S.  iigl,  tigel ; 
Goth,  $iglj'>;  O.U.G.  tigil;  Old  Norse  $tg(l : 
Icelandic  iigl-i:  Hull.  a'^«/,  &c.  In  all  of  these 
the  primary  signification  is  "  bulla,  monile,  fibulft, 
iuivurea,"  ornaments,  jewels,  and  charms.  L\t. 
sigUhx  signiBed  little  images  or  oroamentd. 
*^  Apposuit  pAtellsm,  in  qua  8\giUa  erant  cgregia" 
(Cic /n  Venfm).  Wachter*  (»«6  i-oc,  "  Sigel ") 
has  the  following  remarks:  "  Vulgo  duoitar  a  Lat. 
tigillum,  Latina  a  gigtiOj  ecu  pirvum  signum. 
Nihil  bac  via  brevlui  nut  expeditins.  Obatat  tamen

The  same  idea  is  expressed  by  Francis  Janiua' 
in  his  notes  on  the  paraphrase  of  Willeramni 
(eleventh  century);  see  also  Oraflf,+  vi.  141,  and 
Grimm,X  ii.  Ill,  112,  where  he  derives  iigil  from, 
the  sun  and  ynoniU  from  the  moon.  In  Bods'ii

Now,  nt  the  epoob  at  which  this  prediotion  was 
littered,  there  w^  at  Furis,  in  the  Military  School, 
a  young  iniin  named  Napol&on  Buooapnrte.  Ia 
th«  coorse  of  that  very  year,  IT&T^  he  was  appointed 
/tf  a  iitQtcoaneff  *^cn  weoani^"  iij  tho  artillcr;' 


regiment  of  La  F&re.  Hia  birthplace  was  ConiG 
which  might  be  termed,  not  inappropriately,  "  a 
coin  du  monde";  and  he  had  neither  fortune  m 
Ancestry  to  make  a  boast  of.  It  will  not  be  denic 
Ib^t  be  Uter  on  made  sufficient  noise  in  the  worl 
to  verify  the  prediction,  or  that  he  attained  tli 
highest  places,  becoming  General,  First  Conaa 
and  Emperor  in  a  superb  empire,  as  France,  of  al 
the  countries  of  the  world,  would  at  that  time  b 
pronounced  to  be.  It  is  so  generally  believed  tha 
he  died  in  exile  at  St.  Helena,  that  I  shall  no 
trouble  myself  to  adduce  historical  proof  of  tli 
assertion,  or  that  he  was  destroyed  l^  the  efforts  0 
A  powerful  alliance.  Finally,  it  cannot  be  deniet 
that  hid  greatness  has  now  become  a  matter  0 
history,  and  that  the  enemies  he  encountered  ii 
his  ci\TQQi  are  dwarfs  in  comparison  with  bim. 

This  prophecy,  be  it  remarked,  was  speciallj 
adr^ressed  to  tho  inhabitants  of  Paris,  in  whoa 
midst  the  miUtiry  student  was  then  lirinn; 
Ninety-nine  people  out  of  a  hundred  to  whom  il 
may  be  shown  will  at  once  exclaim  that  it  refen 
to  Kapoleon.  Cela  saute  aux  ytvx ;  but  the  pro- 
phecy bscomes  all  the  more  remarkable  if  it  cu 
be  shown  that  it  applies  with  greater  force  nod 
closeness  of  detail  to  any  other  individual.  What 
would  iiAvo  been  said  about  it  if  it  had  occnrreJ 
iQ  the  rhapsodic  delirations  of  Swedenborg? 

Bnt,  after  all,  was  there  ever  such  a  person  m 
Buonaparte  1  I  have  before  mc  a  French  treatia 
which  hi,bonrs  to  show  "  comme  quoi  il  n'a  januii 
exietii";  that  the  name  Napoleon  is  a  comipti 
of  Apollo,  and  indicates  the  Sun;  and  that  hii 
twelve  marshals  are  merely  figurative  of  the  twelw 
hours  of  the  day.  And  I  need  not  allude  to  tkt 
Bi$toHc  Doubts  of  our  own  Archbishop  Whately. 
where  it  is  demonstrated  with  such  cogency  d 
logic  that  the  redoubtable  hero  is  a  purely  raytbiol

Observe  that  the  baptisms  are  entered  in  batches, 
each  fteparated  from  the  other  by  a  long  diwh  ;  a 
short  dash  is  put  over  against  every  name,  except 
([  don't  know  why)  the  h\st  quoted.  The  date  is 
put  about  the  middle,  not  over  against  iiny  one, 
so  that  the  arulihiKhop's  bnpti<im  is  entered

Ukconsciocs  CttftEBRATioy. — The  phenomena 
of  unoonBcxous  cerebration  are  accurately  enu- 
merated by  Dr,  Carpenter.  The  two  following 
instances  are  mentioned  by  Coelius  Hhodiginua, 
cti'ffi  A.D.  1450-1525,  and  seem  to  be  early 
illustrations  of  the  theory.     He  says  of  Galea  : — 

"  Qaleniu  summui  Medlcinn  Kuctor  pn>dit  monu-

from  this  that  Shukespeflre  wrote  not  vimnttctdf

doubt  fiUKKcated  by  the  antithesis  to  strojig  in  the 
following  line.  Compare  V.  ii.  182,  ^  a  kind  of 
yesty  collection,  which  carries  them  throui^h  the 
most  fond  and  icinnowcd  opinions."  Here  I  think 
the  conjecture  of  Maaon  strongly  recommends  it- 
self, **  sound  and  winnowed."  I  am  much  in- 
clined to  look  upon  winnowtd  an  right,  and  in 
favourable  contrast  to  "  yeaty  collection."  Soiind 
might  easily  become  fond  if  we  suppose  the  f  to 
have  been  written  long,  and  the  u^ual  abbrevia- 
tion for  )i  to  have  been  either  forgotten  by  the 
writer  or  unnoticed  by  the  printer.  D.  C.  T.

Paiolk. — This  word  for  eowtUp  is  very  well 
known  in  the  Eastern  Connties.  The  ctymolo^ 
Ik-w  often  been  "  wanted."  I  think  it  Is  a  corrup- 
tion of  F.  piiille^  stmw,  and  may  have  meant 
"  straw-coloured."  In  support  of  this  guess  I 
observe  that  Cotgrave  gives,  as  om  sense  of  pailU, 
"  the  first  bud  of  a  flower  ";  and  it  also  meant  "a 
spt-vngle."  He  explains  the  adj.  pailUi  by  "  pale- 
red,  palc-clitret,  flesh  colour";  but  the  original  sense 
must  have  been  *'  straw-colour."  Florio  gives 
Ital.  pagliato  as  meaning  "  pallet,  pale,  or  straws 
colour";  so  that  there  was  an  Engluh  adjective 
palUt  with  this  sense.  Cf.  Span,  pujidoj  paji&o, 
straw-coloured  ;  j^ajuHa,  short,  light  straw.

Arbuthnot's  "Miscellaneous  Works." — I 
ahonld  be  obliged  by  any  information  as  to  the 
authenticity  of  the  Tarions  pieces  in  Arbuthnot's 
Misedlanethii  Works,  The  collection  was  first 
published  in  two  volumes  (Glasgow,  1751),  when 
Arbathnot's  son  George  denied  its  authenticity. 
Another  edition  was  published  in  1770,  to  which 
were  added  a  life  and  a  few  short  pieces.  The 
son's  denial  is  rather  too  sweeping,  as  the  collec- 
tion includes  some  papers  of  undeniable  authen- 
ticity. These  (so  far  as  I  know)  are  the  essay  on 
the  usefulness  of  mathematical  learning,  the  ac- 
count of  Mr.  Ginglicutt's  treatise  on  the  scolding 
of  the  ancients  (ascertained  to  be  Arbuthnot's  by 
letters  to  Swift  from  Pope  and  Pulteney  in  1731), 
the  sermon  at  Mercat's  Cross,  Edinburgh  (which 
is  mentioned  in  a  letter  from  Pope  to  George 
Arbuthnot,  dated  October  29,  1741,  in  Elwin's 
edition  of  Pope's  Letters,  ii.  489),  the  examination 
of  Woodward's  Accounts  of  the  Deluge,  and  the 
poem  called  TvtaOt  (reavrov,  which  is  added  in  the 
edition  of  1770,  and  was  first  published  as  Arbuth- 
not's in  Dodsley's  ifwce/Jany,  1748. 

It  is  Bud  in  Chalmers's  IHctionary  that  some  of 
the  other  papers  are  known  to  have  been  written 
by  Fielding  and  Henry  Carey.  Mr.  Austin  Dob- 
■oa,  in  his  leoent  acooont  of  Fielding,  attribntes 
fff  pirn  the  Mffsfutrads,    |t  wu  pnnfeed  with 


Fielding's  Grub  Strtet  Opera  in  1731,  and  is  there 
said  to  have  been  first  printed  in  1728.  It  is 
clearly  more  likely  to  oe  be  Fielding's  than 
Arbuthnot's.  The  Monthly  RevUw  (iii.  399)  says 
that  another  paper,  the  letter  to  the  Rot.  Dean 
Swift,  was  written  by  Gordon,  of  the  Independmt 
Whig, 

I  do  not  know  of  any  evidenoe  in  regard  to 
the  other  papers,  though  I  should  greatly  doubt 
whether  any  can  be  attributed  with  any  confidenoe 
to  Arbuthnot.  The  Third  Pari  of  John  BiM 
appears  to  me  to  be  altogether  unworthy  of  him. 
It  u  said  in  the  Biog.  Britanniea  that  he  probably 
wrote  the  OtUliver  Decyphendf  and  the  CrUieal 
Remarks  upon  OvUiver's  Travels  by  Dr.  Banttey, 
The  first  of  these  is  an  attack  upon  Swift  and 
Arbuthnot  himself,  and  can  clearly  not  be  his. 
A  writer  in  the  Retrospective  Review,  roL  riii., 
attributes  to  him  a  paper  on  "Don  Bilioso  da 
rEstomac";  the  Euay  upon  an  Apothecary, 
which  is  part  of  a  Supplement  to  Dean  S—ft 
Miscellanies ;  and  the  Notes  and  Mem^nxinduns 
of  the  Six  Days  preceding  the  Death  of  a  Rigki 

Reverend   ,    J^c,    that    is.    Bishop    BnneL 

This,  however,  merely  goes  upon  internal  eri- 
denoe ;  and,  in  the  last  case,  though  the  essay  is 
highly  praised,  I  can  see  no  traces  of  AxbuthnoL 
If  really  printed  in  1715,  as  is  stated,  it  is  oe^ 
tainly  a  brutal  performance,  as  the  bishop  died  m 
March  17  in  that  year.  It  seems  to  me  tlui 
the  collector  took  at  random  papers  apon  wof 
subjects  with  which  Arbuthnot  was  more  Of 
less  identified  —  such,  for  example,  as  sqnifai 
against  Woodward — and  that  the  collection  hs^ 
therefore,  no  authority.  But  I  should  be  glad  to 
hear  of  any  grounds  for  attributing  any  of  thi 
papers  to  Arbuthnot  or  other  writers. 

Besides  the  papers  above  mentioned,  the  fifit 
volume  contains  a  "Dissertation  on  Dumpling' 
an  "  Account  of  the  State  of  Learning  in  Lillipnt,* 
the  "  State  Qiincks,"  "  Sickness  and  Death  of  Mr. 
Woodward,"  "  Most  Wonderful  Wonder  that  ever 
Appeared,"  the  "  Manifesto  of  Lord  Peter,"  tbs 
"  Devil  to  Pay  at  St.  James's,"  and  "  An  Epitaph 
on  a  Greyhound."  The  second  includes  '*  Har- 
mony in  an  Uproar,"  the  "  Congress  of  Bees,"  and 
"The  Art  of  Selling  Bargains";  and  to  the  edi- 
tion of  1770  are  added  the  "  Political  Freeholder*' 
Catechism,"  "  Huyghens  on  Games  of  Chance," 
translated,  and  a  short  epistle  to  the  Longitndi- 
narians.  Leslie  Stethew.

lory  of  this  book  as  commonly  giren  ia  true,  the 
original  edition  of  1707  must  be  one  of  the  rarest 
books  in  existence.  It  is  said  that  Dr.  Knox 
wrote  it  in  1794,  and  had  it  printed  in  London  in 
1795,  but  being,  oo  reconsideration,  apprefaenaiTe 
that  be  bud  used  Uogusge  too  glowing  and  eo-

nccordiogly  he  did  so  suppress  it,  only  three 
copies  being  left  in  existence.  Of  these,  one  went 
to  America,  and  another  in  time  fell  into  the 
hands  of  Mr.  Ilooe.  The  American  copy  was 
immediately  reprinted,  with  the  title,  **'r?w  |

Puncheston,  Pembrokeshire.  Can  any  of  yonr 
readers  give  any  further  particulars  of  this  learned 
man?  His  son,  John  Gambold,  writing  from

register  contains  in  1630  and  1637  entries  of 
persons  buried  "in  coal."  The  reviewer  of  the 
book  in  tho  Athetusum  (No.  2898,  May  12,  1833. 
p.  600)  remarks  :— 

•'Why  this  was  done  is  a  pnnle,  unless  we  are  to 
nndorstand  by  '  coal  *  charcoal,  and  that  this  substance 
was  used  for  sanitary  purposes.  It  is  noteworthy  tbat

and  were  buried  within  the  castle,  were  found,  when 
their  graves  were  disturbed  lut  year,  to  baye  had  a  thin 
covering  of  coal,  not  charcoal,  strewed  orer  them."

TUB  FESTIVAL  OF  THE  POPE'S  CILVIE. 
(6"' 8.  vii.  47,72,90,110.161,210,249,274,330.) 

Mi»6  Bd&k's  paper  (anf<,  p.  330)  contAina  so 
many  points  and  Mifrgcstions  tliat  I  cannot  under- 
take to  reply  to  them  all ;  but  I  must  notice  a  fev. 

Mifis  LicsK  says  that  she  is  quite  at  a  loss  to 
know  to  what  lines  I  referred  when  I  complained 
of  the  introduction  of  personalities.  I  quoted  her 
own  words,  **  quite  gratuitous  piece  of  partisan- 
ship," and  "  laboured  argument,  so  that  I  think 
there  is  little  room  for  doubt.  I  observe  that  she 
now  says  that  I  do  not  give  her  credit  for  candonr. 
I  am  sure  that  I  never  meant  to  insinuate  that 
febe  was  not  candid  ;  nothing  ought,  in  my  opinion, 
to  be  more  carefully  avoided  ia  all  controversies 
tfatin  insinuations  of  any  sort,  and  1  am  not  aware 
of  having  indulged  in  any. 

I  certaiDly  think  that  Miss  BcsK  doei  not 
sbow  ranch  acqaaintance  with  the  history  of 
c»rTiD|{  in  ivory,  and  thinking  so,  I  said  so,  as  the 
oecvsstty  of  the  argument  obliged  me  to  do.  I 
never  dreamt  of  insinuating  that  a  woman  con  Id 
have  no  opinion  on  such  a  matter.  Surely  all  this 
sort  of  recrimiostion  is  sad  waste  of  time.  I  will, 
tfaerf^fore,  make  no  reply  as  to  my  supposed  "  pro- 
fessional" position,  my  snpposed  witat  of  know- 
ledge of  the  EncbiridioQ  Precationnm  of  Chailes 
the  Bald,  &c.,  and  wilt  content  myself  with  tho 
assertion  tbat  my  sole  wish  has  been  to  phice  a 
sobject  of  great  arcbteological  interest  fully  and 
fairly  before  those  who  car*  about  such  matters. 

In  partuance  of  such  a  desire  I  must  make  a 
few  remarks  on  M\»s  Btjsk'b  comments  on  my 
memoir  in  the  Vtlngld  ^(onument(i  and  replies 
IB  "  N.  &  (^.";  and  first  m  to  the  question  whether 


the  Cathedra  Petri  was  or  was  not  made  for  a 
throne.  It  mast  bo  apparent  to  any  one  who  looks 
at  the  drawings  of  it  that  it  has  undergone  little 
or  no  altcTution  ;  it  has  been  somewhat  mutUated^ 
and  additions  have  been  made  to  it ;  but  nothing, 
/»«o*  Miss  Busk,  has  been  "incorporated"  into 
ir.  If  the  tablets  of  ivory  with  the  laboors  of 
Hercules  and  the  pieces  of  wood  at  the  angles  and 
back  were  removed,  it  would  be,  except  for  soma 
missing  piecee,  substaDtially  what  it  was  when 
iirst  made. 

Now,  its  form  is  certainly  not  that  of  a  cnrule 
chair,  nor  of  a  domestic  chair  of  tbe  antique 
period,  nor  of  a  cathedra  for  a  bishop,  while  it  is 
tbat,  as  I  have  said  in  my  memoir  (p.  13),  of  a 
seat  or  throne  in  which  (as  nameroas  mosaics  and 
other  works  of  art  show)  it  woa  usual  from  tho 
fourth  to  the  twelfth  century  to  represent  persons 
of  the  highest  dignity  as  seat«d,  I  have  never 
asserted  (as  Miss  Bcsk  would  seem  to  mean  to 
say  tbat  I  have,  note  on  p.  332}  that  such  thrones 
were  coujined  to  the  use  of  emperors. 

Padre  Garrucci,  in  his  great  work  StoHa  deW 
Arte  CHiflianii,  thus  writes  of  it,  "  Altri  negano  u 
ragione  ebe  ai  tempi  di  Claudio  si  potesse  avere 
una  sedia  di  quel  disegno  e  di  quel  arte,  tutta  del 
medio  evo  che  vi  is  ai  evidente  e  manifesta,"  i.e., 
others  deny  with  reiison  that  in  tbe  time  of  Clau- 
dius a  chair  could  have  existed  of  such  design  and 
of  BQch  art,  so  evidently  and  manifestly  that  of  the 
Middle  Age. 

If  it  hod  been  constructed  in  the  ninth  century 
for  the  use  of  tho  Pope,  I  think  it  would  probably 
have  been  decorated  with  subjects  or  symbols 
having  relation  to  its  intended  oMj  and  not  with 
the  effigy  of  an  emperor  and  combats  of  men  and 
animals. 

I  do  not  quite  understand  whether  Mim  BasK 
thinks  that  tbe  halMeni^th  clfl;(y  represents  an 
emperor,  or  tho  "  Kternal  Father,"  or  tho  "  Bnlvatoc 
Mundi."  As  both  Com.  de  Uossi  and  Padre 
Garrucci  say  that  it  bos  mustachiot  and  no  bear<t. 
I  cannot  think  her  suggestion  that  Seardorelll 
thought  that  he  was  drawing  a  flgnrci  of  one  or 
other  of  the  sacred  personages  a  happy  onn. 
Both  the  eminent  Roman  antiquaries  say  with- 
out any  hesitation  that  it  is  the  effigy  of  an 
emperori  end  surely  thev  ore  good  judges. 

Padre  Garrucci  woula  appear  to  bo  wrong  in 
saying  that  the  ri^ht  hand  nolds  a  fflobo ;  but  wo 
are  all  liable  to  make  mistakes.  1  bavs  nowhere 
Raid  that  I  agree  with  Padre  Gsrrucoi  as  to  the 
rvsemblinoe  between  this  efUgy  and  niiartos  the 
Bald,  but  only  that  I  agreed  generally  with  the 
views  AS  to  the  dat«  of  th«  ivoriu  cipresscd  by 
him  and  Com.  de  Rossi. 

As  to    the    attached    pieor«,  it    I-"  •me

sidered  certaia  facta  which  stand  in  the  way  of 
sach  belief.  These  are  :  (1)  That  the  nprif^ht  pieces, 
fire  in  number,  are  of  just  the  same  height,  four 
as  the  foar  nprights  of  the  chair,  and  the  fifth  as 
that  of  the  pediment,  and  that  the  angle  pieces 
are  deeply  cat  into,  so  as  to  fit  them  on  to  the  np- 
nghtsat  the  angles.  They  must  evidently  have  been 
much  matilated  in  order  to  fit  them  on,  a  thing 
hardly  likely  if  they  were  held  in  Teneration.  It 
is  but  reasonable  to  suppose  that  such  relics  would 
be  kept  in  such  form  as  to  tell  their  story,  and 
not  hacked  about  in  such  fashion  as  to  allow  them 
to  be  supposed  to  be  mere  rough  pieces  of  ordi- 
nary wood.  (2)  That  we  hare,  from  a  com- 
petent authority,  their  history.  Torrigio,  who 
wrote  his  book  Delia  Basilica  di  S.  Pietro  in  the 
early  part  of  the  seventeenth  century,  mentions 
them  (chap,  xxi.)  in  these  words  :  "  £  peroh^  per 
rantiofait&  andava  mancando  fa  cinta  dl  cingoli  di 
ferro  e  di  alcuni  legni"  (i.e.,  because  the  chair 
was  failing  through  age,  it  was  bound  by  bands  of 
iron  and  some  pieces  of  wood). 

Torrigio,  Panvinius,  and  Griraaldi  all  deaoribe 
the  obttir  in  which  the  IrorieB  are  inlaid  as  the 
Gathedra  Petri ;  the  first  alone  mentions  the 
attached  piece?.  Fontana,  in  his  official  report  on 
the  chair,  says  substantially  the  same  thing  as 
Torrigio.  Febeo  (or  Phebeas),  who  wrote  a  small 
book  on  the  Gathedra,  quotes  Torrigio's  account 
of  the  pieces,  but  does  not  otherwise  allude  to 
them.  ScardoTelli  omits  the  "  legni"  in  his  draw- 
ing of  the  whole  chair,  but  inserts  them  in  the 
elevations  of  the  back  and  sides. 

I  think  I  have  shovn  that  the  tradition  applied 
to  the  throne  or  chair,  and  to  that  alone,  and,  j>ac< 
Miss  Busk,  that  by  Torrigio  the  pieces  were  "con- 
sidered separately,''  aa  indeed  they  now  are  by 
Gom.  de  Rossi  and  Padre  Garrucci,  the  phrase  of 
the  latter, "  assistone  unite,"  meaning  that  they  are 
attached,  as  is  the  foct.  They  are  not  "  incor- 
porated,'' for  they  do  not  form  a  part  of  its  body, 
bat  could  be  removed  and  the  chair  would  be 
complete  without  them.  Gom.  de  Rossi  says  that 
the  "sedia"  ia  enclosed  within  an  "armatura"; 
surely  this  is  coosidering  separately  the  chair  and 
the  "legni."  Evidently  the  tradition  that  the 
pieces  formed  part  of  an  ancient  "aedes  gesta- 
toria  "  did  not  exist  in  the  time  of  Torrigio,  aa 
it  cannot  be  suppoaed  that  he  would  have  been 
ignorant  of  it  if  it  did,  or  would  have  ignored  it. 

My  auggeation  that  the  throne  waa  made  for 
the  coronation  of  Charles  the  Bald  waa  perhaps  a 
hasty  one.  Miss  Bdsk  certainly  shows  that  the 
throne  oonld  hardly  have  been  made  at  Rome  for 
his  coronation;  bnt  many  suggestions  might  be 
offered  in  explanation  of  the  difficulty,  if  it  were 
worth  while  to  do  so.  He  may,  indeed,  have 
brought  it  with  him.  If  Miss  BasK  oan  show

or  casts  of  them  and  publish  these,  ahe  will  do  a 
service  to  archseology.  As,  however,  neither  De 
Rossi  nor  Qarrucci  has,  so  far  as  I  know,  ever 
said  anything  about  them,  whether  when  writing 
about  the  Cathedra  or  at  any  other  time,  I  ahonld 
be  inclined  to  doubt  whether  they  are  of  great 
age. 

Padre  Garrucci  has  given  an  engraving  of  the 
Cathedra  Petri  in  hia  great  work  recently  com- 
pleted, Sioria  delP  A  rte  Cristiana.  In  hia  comment 
on  tbia  he  repeata  aubstantially  what  ha  had  pre- 
viously aaid,  but  adda  the  auggeation  that  the 
chair  may  have  been  giv^n  by  Cbarlea  the  Bald, 
and  that  he  doubta  whether  all  the  atrips  of  ivoir 
which  are  inlud  in  the  chair  are  by  the  same  hand.

ToucniNG  FOR  ScRoraLA  (6**  S.  vL  536).— 
Mr.  Frazer  oaka  for  the  authority  for  the  special 
service  for  the  healing  in  Parsel'a  Latin  Common 
Prayer,  It  ia  not  very  apparent.  Using  his  third 
edition,  1720, 1  Bod  that  the  form  is  different  from 
that  in  Sparrow's  Collectionj  pp.  165-6,  fonrtb 
edit.,  Lend.  1684,  which  contains  the  form  in 
English.  Thia  hoa  two  gospels— not  to  be  used 
alternatively,  but  in  the  same  service,  St.  Marie 
xvi.  14-20,  St.  John  i.  1-14  — bnt  also  fewer 
prayers.  From  the  description  of  the  ceremony  in 
1660  by  Evelyn,  it  appeara  that  the  office  used 
was  different  from  either  ;  for  while  the  gospel 
from  St.  John  waa  made  use  of,  there  was 
also  an  epistle  {Diary^  vol.  i.  pp.  33&-9,  Ijood. 
1850).  The  two  gospels,  as  they  are  read  in 
Sparrow's  CoUeciiony  bespeak  considerable  anti- 
quity, for  the  first  is  the  same  as  in  Granmer*! 
translation  of  1539,  the  second  almost  the  same, 
and  much  nearer  to  it  than  to  the  Geneva  vertioik. 
Mr.  Frazbr  will,  I  am  sure,  see  cause  to  alter  hii 
statement  as  to  the  merely  temporary  use  of  the 
royal  touch  in  France  if  he  will  refer  to  "  N.  &  Q.,' 
1"'  S.  iii.  148-9,  for  the  practice  ia  there  traced  by 
Mr,  0.  H.  CooPEn  from  1480  to  1775. 

On  referring  to  the  latest  publication  which  I 
am  aware  of  upon  the  subject,  by  Mr.  Hnsaey,  a 
member  of  the  same  profession  with  Mr.  Frazbi, 
I  see  there  an  investigation  into  the  history  of  the 
Office  for  the  Healing,  with  a  rcfereoce  to  MaakelN 
Monumentfi  Hitualiat  vol.  iii.  p.  clviL  It  it 
shown  that  the  earliest  known  form  is  thit 
used  by  Henry  VIl.,  while  the  latest  is  that  of 
1724.  The  form  of  service  varied  at  differett 
times.  See  £.  Law  Hussey,  On  the  Cure  of  Ser^

The  form  of  service  referred  to  by  your  corre-

authorized  addition  to  the  Book  of  jC^omnion 
Prayer,  ita  uae  never  having  received  formal  sanc- 
tion. Blant  states  that  the  fullest  historical

Mr.  FRJiritn  says,  "  Of  course  gold  wus  used  by 
the  Stuart  kinj^a  and  by  Queen  Anne."  Did  not 
Charles  II.  chan|.,>e  the  metal,  and  uae  ailver  instead 
of  gold?  As  Henry  Xll.  had  a  special  Latin 
service  drawn  up  for  bia  use,  it  is  not  surprising 
that  in  a  book  of  1727  Mr.  Yrazhr  should  iiad  a 
form  of  service,  I  cannot  at  present  say  whether 
Parael's  service  was  the  same  as  that  prepared  for 
Henry  VII.  I  believe  Cbarlea  X,  of  Franc*  was 
the  laat  king  who  touched.  My  papers  on  Folk-

58,  £»2, 137,  211,  312,  371).— Poicttera  is  obsolete 
French,  and  may  be  classed  with  traxct  and  poinde. 
In  Knffliiih  we  still  write  of  tbe  Cattle  of  Poictiera, 
thouKb  the  name  of  the  present  town  we  always 
spell  OS  Poitiers.  So,  n^uin,  we  give  Azincourt  its 
usual  French  name,  ahboii^h  the  battle  that  was 
fuU);ht  there  we  somctiujcs  call  the  Battle  of 
Agincourt.  Nismes  and  Aisne  belong  to  an  old 
form,  which  is  seen  in  Busle,  Lisle  (or  L'IsIe), 
wballcitref  evt»qnty  &c.;  but,  unlike  the  words 
just  given,  they  are  still  used  in  French,  as  well 
us  I^iines  and  Aiae.  Kimes,  however,  is  the 
more  usuul  form  in  French  ;  Kinmcs  in  English. 
Bttale  and  Lisle  we  still  use,  the  latter  but  rarely. 
Angiers,  tbe  Deeps,  Nantz,  and  the  other  Angli- 
cized names  of  French  places  mentioned  by  Mr. 
NoURis  are  comijletely  obsolete.  Berne,  Bienne, 
Solcnre,  Stutgard,  ^Virtembcrg,  Weissembourg, 
Coblentz,  Julier.1,  Leipsic,  Leii^sick,  Leipzic, 
Wittcnibcrg,  JJantzic,  Uuntzick,  and  Sleswick  arc 
French.  In  Friburg,  Oldemburg  (rarely  used), 
and  Strasburg  we  idso  follow  tho  Frencb  spelling, 
.ncrcly  changing  the  final  honnj  into  hurrf,  Trent 
is  from  the  Frencb  Tronic,  ^iienwied  (Ncuwied), 
sometimes  seen,  in  Dutch.  Ououburg  (s  an  Knglish 
error.  Nureuiburg,  Kiimburg,  Wirtemburg,  and 
'Wiirtcmburg  are  also  errors  iu  flpelling.  We 
usually  write  Nuremberg  (French)  of  tho  town, 
and  Wiirtemborg  (tbo  correct  German)  of  the 
state.  Tho  sullix  in  these  coses  is  not  61(97,  ^ 
castle,  but  herQt  a  bill.  Magdeburg  is  correct 
Qcmian :  compare  Miigdesprung,  Mitgdetrappe, 
miiQiUhaumt  and  miiijdikraut.  Dronthcini  is 
French.  Gothenburg,  from  the  French  Uolhera- 
bourg.  Belgian  and  Dutch  place-names  we  treat 
in  a  very  irregular  way.  Brussels,  Antwerp,  and 
Ghent  are  from  tho  Flemish  Brussel,  Anlwerpen, 
and  Gent;  but  in  John  of  Gaunt  wo  sec  an  attempt 
to  spell  phonetically  in  English  tbe  French  word 
Gand.  Tournay,  Namur,  Mens,  and  Liege  being 
inhabited  by  Frcnch-n peaking  people,  we  naturally 
always  call  by  their  French  names.  In  addition 
to  these,  however,  we  use  French  for  several 
Flemish  towns.  Sucb  are  Bruges,  Louvain,  Alost, 
Oourtray,  Dixmude,  Furnes,  Lierre,  Popcringhc, 
Boulers,  St.  Trond,  Tirlemont,  and  Ypres.  To 
thii  list  may  be  added  Malines,  by  which  name 
we  now  almost  invariably  speak  of  the  Belgian 
Brcbicpiscopol  city,  though  the  lace  that  is  made 
k0n  W0  Ml  tons  JUedUin  kce  (from  tbe  Flemiib 


Mcchelcn).  HainatiU  (Flemish,  Hennegouw)  is  an 
old  form  of  the  modern  French  Hainant.  Lnxem- 
bourg  is  aUo  French :  Luxemburg  (formerly 
Liitzfclburg),  German.  Maestricht  or  Mastricbt, 
and  Bois-le-Duc  ('s  Hertogenboscfa)  are  French. 
Flushing,  Guilders,  and  Gueldres  are  from  the 
French  Flessingne  and  Gucldre ;  while  Guelder- 
land  is  a  mixture  of  the  French  name  and  the 
Dutch  Gelderland.  Saardam  (Ziandam)  is  an 
Knglish  error  in  spelling.  The  Hague  is  from  the 
Dutch,  's  Gravenfaage.  Nijmegen  and  Nymegen 
are  Dutch,  and  the  latter,  among  the  various  wavi 
of  spelling  the  name  of  this  town,  is  perhajps  the 
best  for  English  use.  Nimegnen  is  from  the  French 
Nimegue.  Nimwegen  is  German.  Nymegncn 
and  Nymwegen  are  mixtures,  the  first  of  Dotch 
and  French,  the  second  of  Dutch  and  German.  I 
may  remark  that  the  patron  saint  of  Kheims,  who 
has  been  so  frequently  alluded  to,  is  not  Rvmy, 
but  Beroy,  the  pronnnciation  being  almost  as 
though  written  Saint  R*my.  C.  W.  S. 

I  hare  no  wish  to  enter  on  the  rexed  qnestion 
of  the  transliteration  of  Oriental  names,  on  which 
I  fully  liberated  my  mind  in  a  letter  which 
appeared  in  the  Aihen(ntm  some  years  ago 
(No.  2503,  July  7,  1877),  and  my  only  object  in 
writing  is  to  demur  to  the  statement  made  by  my 
fellow  exile  Bas,  of  Nagpur,  that  the  translitera- 
tion system  adopted  by  the  Government  of  India 
is  that  of  Sir  William  Jones.  That  great  man 
would  have  been  the  lost  to  claim  the  merit  of 
being  its  author.  What  is  now  called  the  Jonesion 
or  Huntcrian  system  is  duo  primarily  to  Sir  Charlea 
AVilkins.  If  Bas  will  read  the  Visieriatum  on 
the  Orlhography  of  Asiatick  Word$  in  iZomoa 
LdterSj  some  of  his  present  views  upon  the  subject 
may,  perhaps,  bo  modilicd.  The  original  Joneeian 
system  had  its  merits;  but  the  ignorance  of  phono- 
logy which  prcvoitcd  in  those  days  prevents  it 
from  being  accepted  as  a  scientiBc  instrument  for 
tbe  reproduction  of  sounds  outside  the  limited 
range  to  which  Sir  W.  Jones,  when  writing  on 
tho  subject,  confined  himself.

my  MS.  collections,  consisting  of  letters,  com- 
potuses,  registers,  roUn  (chitfly  Patent,  Issue, 
Close,  and  Fines),  &c.,  leads  me  to  a  very  different 
conclusion.  I  find  the  word  spelt  as  follows: — 
Fourteenth  century,  Cales,  6;  Caleys,  6.  Fifteenth 
century,  Calais,  I;  Gales,  19;  Caleys,  2.  Sixteenth

CrOMWCLL  AIJD  BD88EIX  (6**  8.  vU.  368).— 
Does  Lady  RosaKLL'fl  qaery  imply  a  snggestion 
that  tho  marriage  referred  to  may  htivo  been  a 
Tunawny  match,  and  the  ceremony  only  performed 
at  Dover  on  tho  eve  of  Ieaviot(  Kngland  /  U  so, 
I  presume  the  ptirental  objections  must  have  been 
domestic  rather  than  pnlilicil,  for  the  RasseJU  and 
Cromwells  intermarried  much.  I  think  the  pre* 
sent  rcproBcutativo  of  tho  Protector's  family  in  a 
Russell. 

The  Russells  of  Chippenham,  cloaely  connected 
with  the  Cromwells,  furnished  many  oITtcers  to 
royal  guards,  such  as  CoL  Rich.  Russell,  Sir  Wm. 
Russell,  and  Charles  Rnssell,  who  commanded  the 
First  Battalion  of  the  First  Guards  at  Fontenoy. 
Hbniit  F.   PoNS05DT. 

Xa  the  Memoir  of  Sir  Charks  lictdt  recently 
published  by  his  bod,  it  ia  said  that  in  his  col- 
lection of  antiquities  he  had,  amongst  other 
curiosities,  "a  camp  kettle  of  Oliver  Cromwell,  a 
treasare  obtained  from  >trs.  Russell,  of  Cheshunt, 
tho  daughter  of  tho  last  of  the  male  line  of  tho 
Protector."  Surely,  unless  "  Mrs."  RusacU  had 
married  a  namesake  she  was  not  Mrs.  "  Russell."

■  be  a  fornt  of  tkellum  t  know  not.     The   latter 

■  word  (Dutch  and  Germao  scHtim)  waa  a  very 


common  term  of  abuse  in  the  seventeenth  cen- 
tury. I  suppose  it  would  now  be  considered 
obsolete  by  genteel  people,  though  it  occtirs 
in  Bnrns's  Tnm  o'  ShaiUer.  We  constantly  use  it 
in  Lindsey.  A  neighbour  said  to  nte,  not  long 
ago,  **  I  call  a  man  as  keeps  a  sheep-worrying  dog, 
when  he  knuws  it,  a  real  skellnm."  As  I  am  a 
farmer,  I  need  not  say  that  1  cordially  re-echoed 
his  sentiments.  I  have  given  several  examples  of 
the  word  in  my  ManUy  and  Corringkam  Glotsixrjff 
to  which  may  be  added  the  following,  from 
Wallingtnn's  HistorUal  Notifos  of  KvenU  oceitf* 
riiiff  chitjiy  in  the  Rtipi  of  Charut  /:— "IntoUi- 
geoce  is  that  in  Cornwall  and  Devonshire  Skcilum 
Grenville  hath  sent  out  a  great  press,  and  by  hit 
warmnts  the  men  are  eent  in,  who  c:ime  to  bira 
very  unwillingly  "  (vol.  ii.  p.  253).  I  think,  but 
am  not  quite  certain,  that  Sir  Richard  Grenville 
is  the  person  meant.  How  very  little  information 
OS  to  words  and  their  meanings  is  considered  a 
snilicient  equipment  for  an  editor  of  a  seventeenth 
century  manuscript  is  shown  by  the  following 
short  note  which  ia  appended  to  Grenville's  name,— 
"  Sir  Kenelm  Grenville  I ''  The  Grenville  pedigree 
is  a  tree  with  many  and  wide-spreading  branche*. 
I  cannot  take  upon  myself  to  aasert  that  there 
was  not  a  Sir  Kcnclm  Grenville  at  that  period, 
but  if  he  existed  he  has  remained  unknown  to  me, 
and  I  nm  certain  tliat  SkiUum  has  no  more  to  do 
with  Kenelm  than  with  any  one  of  tho  hnndreda 
of  other  Christian  naiiim  which  occur  in  directoriea 
and  parish  registers.  It  is  singular  that  two 
editors  should  hare  been  found  so  ignorant  as  to 
fall  into  this  laughable  error.

Mr.   Wtcns  may  not  be   aware  that    akiUum 

(which  is  undoubtedly  the  same  word  as  «e/cm, 

alludeii  to  in  his  interesting  note)  is  a  commoD 

enough  term  of  reproach  in  the  Tjowland  Scotch 

vernacular,  especially  in  Ayrshire,  where  I  hare 

frequently  hoard  it  myself.     The  word  has  been 

immortalized  in  the  well-known  lines  of  Burns, 

describing  Tarn  o*  Shanter's  eccentricities:— 

"  O  Tarn  !  hidfit  thou  but  bo«n  sae  wise, 

Ai  tft'en  thy  kin  wife  Kate's  aJrioo  I 

She  tmdil  tliee  we«l  thou  wnat  n  li-f/Zum, 

A  blctliering,  blufterlng,  drunken  blellum." 

Perhaps  some  reader  of "  N.  &  Q."  can  enlighten 
us  as  to  tho  etymology  of  the  word,  which  appears 
doubtful.  F.  C.  Hunter  Blair.

Lowe  Familt^  of  DfiHursniRE  (6*  S.  viL 
121). — Mr*  OaEZNsri'.tfiT  uiukes  three  charges 
against  the  accuracy  of  the  sixth  edition  of  Sir  B, 
Barke'g  Landed  G^nirtf  in  the  matter  of  the  Lowes 
of  Derbyshire. 

1.  As  regards  p,  090,  be  saya  that  the  Wolley 
docameot  in  no  way  Indicates^  oa  Sir  B.  Burhe, 
when  citing  it,  uaumes,  that  three  persons  of  the 
name  were  brothers.  In  the  sentence  where  Sir 
B.  Burke  refers  to  Wolley  be  makes  no  such 
aasnmptioD.  Abbreviated  the  sentence  rans  as 
follows:  "Wm.  del  Lowe,  who  held  lands  at 
MaccUa&eldj  and  whose  «od  Thomafl  vm  an  aldt^r- 
man  there,  was  presumably  the  brother  of  Thotuoa 
del  Lowe,  who,  according  to  the  Wolley  MS3,, 
married  Margt.  Legb,  &c."  This  is  the  on[y  re- 
ference to  Wolley  on  p.  990,  and  no  such  ftssutup- 
tion  ia  based  on  it  aa  Mtt,  GaitsNSTnERT  supposes. 
HiB  first  charge,  thereforer  falls  to  the  ground* 

2,  At  p.  H50  Sir  B.  Burke  refers  to  *lho 
ancient  Cheshire  stock '^  of  the  Lowes.  Mr. 
Qrebnstreet  says  the  Shropshire  family  Kif  La 
IjOWo  is  the  only  family  of  note.  But  the  existence 
of  an  ancient  faDSily  of  La  Lowe  in  Shropshire 
dow  not  disprove  the  ex.[stence  of  another  ancieot 
ftmily  of  Lowe  in  Cheshire.    Sir  B.  Burke  begina 

'jidjgrw  of  Lowe  of  Highfidd  with  tEote 


words :  *^  This  family  is  of  long  stjindinR  in  the 
county  Chester"  (p.  D90),  and  till  the  accuracy  of 
this  statement  ia  disproved  it  19  hypercritical  to 
challenge  the  statement  at  p.  1450. 

3.  Mr.  GftEp.wBTp.icKT  imputes  to  Sir  B,  Burke 
the  statement  that  the  family  of  Lowe  of  Locko 
-* died  oat  in  the  male  line  in  1785  with  Ric^bard 
Lowe,  E6(["  I  can  find  do  such  statemeot  in  the

Old  Clocks  {6*^  S.  vii.  165,  237,  257,  370.— 
I  have  a  clock  which  \vvi  been  in  my  fitmily  for 
nearly  two  hundred  years  certiiiu.  It  is  in  a  tall 
oak  0:Lse,  the  front  of  which  is  ornamented  with 
Chinese  figures  nnd  pagodas  in  gold  lacquer  work. 
The  wood  is  Raid  to  be  Scotch  oak,  and  I  am  in- 
formed that  in  those  days  portioDS  of  clock  cues 
were  Rent  from  Scotland  to  Holland.  The  I>titch, 
at  that  time  having  communication  with  China, 
sent  the  wood  there  to  be  ornamented.  Mr. 
Spink^,  a  clockmaker  here,  describes  the  works

Mr.  Clements  Robert  Markham  contributed  to 
the  ArcKaologia,  yoI.  zItL  p.  279,  a  list  of  snch 
wooden  effigies  in  England  as  were  known  to  him. 
I  think  it  is  pretty  nearly  complete.  I  am  not 
able  to  make  a  single  addition  to  it.  I  fear  that 
one  of  the  effigies  noted  by  Mr.  Markbam— that 
of  Batcliffe  -  on  •  Trent,  Nottinghamshire  —  has 
perished.  Mr.  John  Potter  Brisooe,  in  his  Old 
NoUinghanuhire,  has  pablished  a  short  article  on 
this  place  by  Mr.  F.  Dobson,  from  which  I  extract 
the  following  passaj^e: — 

"  Thoroton  (1077),  in  his  account  of  Radoliffo,  has  this 
paragraph:  '  Mr.  Stephen  de  RadcIiTO  had  a  son  named 
Btepncn,  and  ho  had  a  son  named  Stephen  and  one  named 
Ancelline,  who  was  liTing  29  H.  III.  One  of  the 
Stephens,  as  the  tradition  is,  gaye  the  pasture  to  the 
town  ;  he  lies  in  the  south  wall  of  the  church  under  hts 
image  cut  in  oke.  under  an  arch.*  I  have  often  wondered 
what  became  of  this  old  relic,  when  a  ihort  time  ago,  on 
turning  over  the  nages  of  an  old  directory  (White's, 
1852),  under  the  neading  of  'R/  I  came  acr>Sfl  the 
following:  'The  church  has  a  nave  and  chancel  with  a 
tower  and  four  bells,  and  had  lying  in  a  niche  a  wooden 
figure  of  Stenhen  RadclifTe,  said  to  be  the  founder,  which 
the  loyal  inhabitants  dressed  to  represent  Bonaparte, 
and  [it]  was  burnt  on  the  news  of  one  of  the  Peninsular 
▼ictories.'  Can  it  be  possible  that  this  piece  of  barbarism 
actually  took  placet"— P.  33.

a  man  to  bo  detundid  from  his  own  wife,  or  a  lady

us  the  heraldic  authorities  may  grant  him  a  rif^ht 
to  quarter  his  wife's  anus,  and  speaks  of  the  arms 
of  a  lady's  husband  quarUred  with  her  own.  Now 
as  quarterinjrs  are  the  arms  only  of  heiresses  from 
whom  one  is  descended  aod  whose  blood  one  re- 
presents, it  is  quite  impossible  to  get  them  from  a

conteited.  That  the  public  up  to  tliii  date  ihoald  have 
had  very  infrequent  glimpsoi  of  the  real  Byron  it  a 
CAUse  for  little  surprico.  Wrapped  up  in  aelfishness  and 
vanity,  Byron  took  care  never  to  bIiow  Himself  in  his 
true  colimre.  In  his  life  as  in  his  work^,  he  was  always 
posing,  and  hii  self-arraigTiment,  thooga  it  has  itirred 
the  unwise  or  the  unscrupuloua  into  monstrous  accuia- 
tions,  is  transparent  folly.  What  Byron  in  his  life  failed 
to  do  in  the  way  of  mystifyin;;  the  public  was  accom- 
pliahed  by  Moore  in  his  lo-called  biography.  More  than 
one  companion  of  Byron  has  sought  to  show  the  world 
tho  poet  in  his  true  colours.  A  strong  nature,  however, 
like  that  of  Byron,  excrcius  a  potent  intiuence  over  a 
weaker,  and  the  revelations  that  have  been  afforded  fay 
Medwln  or  by  Trelawny  require,  though  in  a  very  dif- 
ferent degree,  to  be  received  with  caution.  Byron*s 
enemies  meanwhile,  from  I^ady  CitroUne  Lamb  dowtt< 
wards,  hare  been  even  mor<:  misleading  than  hi4  friendly 
the  result  being  that  Byron  to  this  day  is  seen  in  a  lifht

reference^  whatever  opinion  different  readen  miy  hold 
as  to  its  weakness  in  scientific  genealogy,  bis  prcwnt 
publication  is  clearly  a  }tifC«  de  ctixonttance.  It  contains 
sotne  curious  statements— curious,  at  least,  in  the  way  in 
wbicb  they  are  nut.  if  not  also  curious  in  tbcmscWrs. 
Wo  are  glad  to  loam  that  the  Earl  of  Kellio  docs  not 
deny  that  the  heir  of  line  of  bia  uncle  is  his  cousin. 
Wo  do  not  qiiile  know  bow  be  wrll  could  have  denied 
that  fact,  Wliat  be  does  deny,  we  are  tuld,  ia  the  con- 
pe'^ueuces  which,  in  the  opinion  of  such  men  ait  the  tato 
Alexander  Sinclair  and  James  Maidnici^t,  neccMnrily 
dowed  from  that  f)ict  In  truth,  what  the  ndmission 
comes  to  is  fomctbing  like  thi«— wo  cannot  deny  tliut 
A.  B.  is  tito  heir  of  line  of  C,  D.,  only  we  say  there  was 
notl'ing  of  which  he  could  be  the  heir.  It  appears  to  us, 
on  tlio  other  hand,  that  Garl  Cairns  himself  recognized 
that  there  might  be  something,  and  that  Ibe  very  thing 
which  atone  bas  ever  bean  churned  by  the  heir  of  line. 

^Vo  observe  a  somewhat  peculiar  trick  of  language  on 
the  part  of  Mr.  Hewlett  which  sccraa  to  cover  a  view  of 
the  nfcrag*  of  Scotland  not  put  forth  by  him  in  plain 
norda,  but  wbicb,  if  it  means  anything,  means  that  in 
his  opinion  tbcro  is  not  in  existence  any  such  thing  as  a 
peerage  of  Scotland.  Ue  speaks  constantly  of  Hcnttisit 
peerages  us  "  formerly  peerages  of  ticolland,"  as  though 
by  the  Act  of  Cnion  thcv  had  ceased  to  be  such.  This, 
we  submi',  is  a  radical  misconception.  They  aro  as 
much  pccmnes  of  ScotUnd  still  aB  the  Irish  peerages  are 
peerages  of  Ireland,  and  llie  English  peerages  anterior  to 
the  I'i'ion  with  Scotland  are  peerages  of  England.  The 
only  alteration  made  by  the  (Jnion  was  one  which  nt- 
tacned  to  the  jtertotui  of  the  Scottish  peer,  who  became 
by  the  Unicn  entitled  to  the  pergonal  privilege*,  wliat- 
ever  they  might  be,  of  a  pcerof  tjrcat  Britain.  But  his 
peerage  remtiiDcd  what  it  was  before,  a  peerage  of  Kent* 
land,  and  he  bini«lf  remained  a  peer  of  Scotland,  with 
the  abided  character  of  a  peer  of  Great  Britain.  It  was 
in  virtue  of  this  new  char.i'^ter  that  petitions  to  the 
Crown  began  to  be  prcfcrre<l  by  Scottish  peers.  Thai 
vnB  a  new  ri^^ht  wbicb  tliey  Imd  tic<piired  if  they  chose 
to  use  it.  But  the  old  right  of  access  to  the  Court  of

have  remained  an  inseparable  accident  of  their  Scottish 
peerage.  The  new  tribunal,  so  ctlled,  to  which  the

of  Qower'fl  Confts$io  Amantu — one  of  the  chws 
dedicated  to  Henry,  Earl  of  Derby  (see  Fault's 
edition  of  1S57),  though  Dr.  Pauli  does  not  seem 
to  have  heard  of  our  M3.  {ib%d.t  i.  xxriii).  It 
came  to  the  college,  Feb.  28,  1620,  "ex  dono 
Marcbadini  Hannia." 

Nob.  170,  171  (both  attribated  to  the  twelfth 
ktury)  are  copies  of  Geoffrey  of  Monmouth's  Hie- 


torics  ;  the  latter  wants  the  seventh  book,  and  on 
a  pasted-tn  fly-leaf  we  read,  "  Galfridi  de  gestia

Extracts  from  No.  53,  which  contains  varions

Annates  in  French. 

No.  14  contains  a  number  of  early  chronicles, 
viz.,  Entropii  Hist,  Gesta  Fr&noorum,  Jordanis

Pauli  Diaconi  Hist.  Langobardorum,  Einhard'e 
Vita  Karoli  Mogni,  the  fabulous  life  of  Charles 
by  the  monk  of  St.  Gall,  a  letter  of  Paulas 
Diaoonaa  to  the  Duchess  of  Benevento,  a  peculiar 
"  Nomina  Provinoiartim,"  and  a  genealogy  of 
Charles  the  Great.  According  to  Mr.  Coxe 
this  MS.  belongs  to  the  beginning  of  the  thir- 
teenth century.  Dr.  Pauli,  who  has  examined  it 
and  has  published  a  detailed  notice  of  it  (Neues 
Arehiv  aer  Qadltchafi  fur  (iltere  DtuUaic  Oe- 
sehichU^  L  160-8),  considers  it  a  transcript  by  an 
Eogliah  copyist  of  a  singular  MS.  now  at  Bam- 
berg, which,  if  I  remember  rightly,  was  one  of 
those  destroyed  when  Prof.  Mommsen's  library 
was  burnt  up.* 

Several  MSS.  were  presented  by  Sir  Arthur 
Throckmorton  in  1626,  at  the  same  time  as  the 
books  mentioned  above,  vis.,  Nos.  1  (a  Vulgate), 
31  (a  twelfth  century  Coneordfintia  EvangdioTum)t

at  the  6xxd), 

No.  76  is  a  fifteenth  century  MS.  written  by 
Johannes  de  Rodenburg,  and  is  interesting  on 
several  accounts.  It  contains  works  by  rarioaa 
fathers,*. y.,  St.  Gregory  Naziansten, St. Ohrysostom, 
St.  Basil,  Rudnus  on  the  Creed,  the  Epistle  of 
St.  Polycarp,  and  (foL  214-250)  the  EpUtles 
(genuine  and  Bpnriona,  sixteen  in  all,  including 
that  from  KV.M.  to  St  Xgnatins)  of  St.  Igna- 
tius. Thia  MS.  has  been  collated  by  Archbishop 
Uasher,  as  appears  from  the  Pro^fatio  (p.  2)  to 
his  In  Polycarptanam  Eputolarxim  Jgnatianim 
Syll&gen  Annolationet  (Oxford.  H.  HslI,  1644). 
Zahn,  in  his  edition  of  St  Ignatius  (Leipzig,  1876, 
Prolegomena,  xxviii),  reckons  it  as  the  latest  in 
point  of  date  of  the  four  Latin  MSS.  of  the 
**  longer  recension  "  of  the  Epistles,  knowing  of  it 
apparently  from  Uaaher^s  account  only.

A  large  namber  of  MS3.  (tweoty-one  in  all)  cf 
tlie  foarte«ntb  and  fifteenth  centaries,  containing 
Tarioua  tbeological  works,  have  on  the  binding  iho 
Bsme  coat  of  Hrma.  Tbia  is  identified  in  Bome  in- 
BUiaccB  by  Mr,  Coxe  as  that  of  Henry,  Earl  of 
Ratlund,  who  bore  that  title  LG43-63  ;  but  it  does 
Dot  appear  how  the  MS3.  came  into  the  posBeaaioQ 
of  tbe  college. 

No.  184  is  written  in  an  Italian  band  of  tbe 
6ftecDth  ceotary,  with  iltiicainated  initial  letterR, 
and  contains  tbe  Chronieon  of  EtiBebius  wilb 
Prnsper's  continuation  and  uIbo  Matthei  Palmieri 
Florentini  de  Tetnporibun  Liber  (to  14i0), 

No.  185  is  filkd  with  copies  of  thiity-ooe  Papal 
bulls,  Btatutfs  and  constitutions  of  the  Arch- 
bishops of  Canterbnry,  and  of  the  legates  Otto 
And  Ottobon,  Tiaitation  articles  of  several  biabops, 
&o. 

No.  100  is  a  fonrtcenth  centnrv  copy  of  tbe 
Chronicle  of  Martious  Polonas  and  of  fiigdcn'a 
Tolychronicon. 

No.  214  (an  imperfect  fifteenth  oentary  copj 
of  Ludolphus  of  Saxonj'a  treatise  Ih  yita  Chrittt) 
has  on  the  right-hand  side  of  the  cover  an  ancient 
label  protected  by  a  horn  covering,  with  the  wordtt, 
"  Lodulfi  Vita  Xli,"  and  the  college  arms. 

No.  221  is  the  original  MS.  (c.  1610)  of  Foter 
Heylin's  Memorial  of  IVayvJfcte^  which  was  edited 
in  1651  for  the  Caxton  Society  by  tbe  Bev.  J.  li. 
Bloxam,  D.D.,  late  Fellow  of  tbe  College,  to  whom 
we  owe  the  seven  printed  volumes  of  the  college 
rrgiater. 

No.  22S  is  a  Chinese  MS.,  and  No.  105  a 
twelfth  century  MS.  of  Bjeda'a  Iligt.  Eeda.  with 
green  and  red  initial  letters. 

fi.  To  tarn  now  to  the  printed  books  in  onr 
library,  in  nnmber  about  twentr-three  thousand. 
Of  theee  a  fuir  catalogue  (specially  good  in  index- 
ing tbe  papers  and  treatises  in  the  great  historical 
collecliDus)  was  made  by  tbe  Kcv.  W.  Macfarlane 
80u:.e  years  ago^  but  nnfortunately  the  shelf-oiarlis 
were  inserted  at  a  later  period,  and  then  only 
partially,  bo  that  it  is  not  eK^y  for  any  one  not 
well  acquainted  with  tbe  library  to  lay  bis  hfiud 
on  some  of  the  older  boolcs.  Very  probably  the 
mention  of  our  library  will  recall  to  the  minds  of 
my  readers  Oibbon's  fatuous  sneer.  la  order  to 
tnett  this  charge  against  the  college  the  idea  was 
started  (T  believe  first  by  Dr.  Bloxam)  of  devoting 
certain  shelves  to  college  authors,  and  the  collec- 
tion has  now  become  so  numerous  that  many 
works  by  the  writers  of  less  importance  have  been 
banished  to  the  upper  library.  I  may  mention 
UDong  college  authors  Cardinal  Wolsey,  Cardinal 
Pole,  Arcbbi»bop  Frewen  of  York,  Bishop  Fox  of 
Winobester  (founder  of  Corpus  Chrisli  College), 
Foxe  the  *'  martyrologist,"  Sir  Thomas  Bodley  (of 
library  fame),  Colct  (Dean  of  St  PaoI's),  Lily  and 
Wither^  John  Hampden,  Camden  the  bistortHn, 
^4di$oDf  Collins ;  and  more  recently  President 


Kontb,  Prof.  Conington,  Goldwin  Smith,  J. 
Symonds,  Charles  Reade  (one  of  tbo  ptrse: 
fellows),  Lord  Selborne,  Lord  ICosso  the  as 
nomer,  &c.  That  even  in  the  first  century  a< 
its  foundation  the  college  bought  many  Tolam 
for  its  library  may  be  seen  by  the  extraota  gin 
from  the  college  accounts  by  Mr.  Thorold  Rngei 
(hiitory  of  /Vt«4,  iii.  544-562,  iv.  509-603 
the  number  and  cost  of  these  purchases  com 
ing  favourably  with  those  of  (he  other  great  0 
ford  colleges.  It  may  bo  interesting  to  note 
in  I072  ono  hundred  pounds  wero  spent  in 
purchase  of  books  belonging  to  Bishop  J«vi 
many  of  which  are  still  on  our  shclvea. 

As  in  tbe  case  of  the  MSS.  so  here  t 
or  threo  volumes  stand  out  above  their  fallo 
Probably  the  most  curious  and  valuable  book  h 
our  library  is  one  of  the  only  two  known  work 
wbich  ifsued  from  the  press  of  John  LeVn 
working  alone.  The  other,  printed  (according  b 
Dibdin'i  Ames,  \u  2)  in  London  in  1480,  is  ta  th 
Bodleian,  and  is  a  commentary  on  the  PcaTou 
Our  book  has  not  the  name  of  tbe  pUce  where  I 
was  printed,  but,  arguing  from  tbe  BodIei.ia  book 
it  may  be  assumed  that  ours  is  probably  tbe  firH 
book  printed  in  London.  Prof.  Chandler  h»^ 
ascertained  that  our  book  is  more  imperfect  thsd 
Dibdin  imagined.  Three  leaves  at  the  beginnia| 
and  four  in  the  middle  are  wanting.  It  has,  bov^ 
ever,  the  merit  of  being  absolutely  unique.  I  tiAi 
a  copy  of  tbe  colophon :  "Exoellentissimi  sacre  tbe» 
logie  profeesoris  Antbonii  Andree  ordinis  fratraa 
Miuonim  super  duodeoim  libros  Metapbittfl

TUB  ANOLO-GEXRVAN  PSALTER  OP  1561 

AND  ITd  EXQUSa  REPRINT. 

The  results   of  a  GolLiUon  htely  made  by  uio 

of  two  onique  volumes  appeir  siifQaently  import- 

l  to  deserve  a  record  in  "  N.  &  Q."     The  firat 

Ibeaa   volumea  is  the  Anglo- Gen ovan  Psalter 

rved  in  the  library  of  St.  Panics  Cathedral 

has  been  often  examined,  but  hfs  never,  so  far 

I  am  aware,  been  fully  described.     The  history 

this  Psalter — Ih*^  basis  of  tbe  S'lottish,  and  to 

me  extent  of  tbe  Euglush  Psalter — will  be  found 

tbe  diascrtitions     prefixed    to   the   Uer.    Dr. 

iviogston's  reprint  of  the  Scottish  metrical  Psil- 

r  of  1635.     The  tirst  edition  appei^red  in  \blHt ; 

second,    which  ondoubledly  was   published,  ia 

t;  the  St.  Prtoi's  copy  is  the  sole  Burviving  re- 

eeentative  of  tbe  third  and  la^t.     U  seems  to 

ve  beoa  prepared  at  QeaeYa  by  Williaat  Kethe, 


who  enlarged  it  by  the  addition  of  twenty-fiv« 
new  motrioal  psalms  by  himself.  Of  these,  twenty- 
four  are  marked  by  his  initials  ;  the  twenty-fifth 
(the  L.^t  "Old  Hundrvdth'^)  is  strangely  miirked 
"  Tho.  Ster."  This  version  is  ascribed  to  Ketba 
in  tbe  first  Scottish  PdUter  of  1564,  bat  the 
blunder  in  the  original  Genevan  edition,  coupled 
with  the  fact  that  "All  paople  that  on  earth  do 
dwell"  is  left  anonymous  in  all  tbe  early  editions 
of  the  English  PuAlter,  has  been  the  cause  of  much 
perplexity  and  doubt  as  to  the  authorship,  ThU 
doubt  I  hope  now  to  be  able  to  remove. 

The  St,  Paul's  copy  measures  4^  in.  by  3f  In. 
The  binding  is  not  original  Tbe  volame  c^nsistc 
of  three  parts,  each  with  a  title-pige  of  its  own, 
the  intention  probably  boiog  that  the  parts  might 
be  sold  separately  if  desired.     The  first  title  is  :--

bat  the  book  contains  many  miBprinU,  largely 
due,  no  doubt,  to  foreign  compositors. 

The  uoond  Tolume  which  I  examined  is  the 
Psalter,  also  of  1561,  which  is  preserved  in  the  Brtt- 
well  Library,  the  property  of  S,  Chriatio  Miller,

in  January,  1819.  The  late  Mr.  OaTid  Laing,  of

the  psalm  [c]  to  Kethe."  My  first  glacce  at  the 
book  showed,  to  my  surpriae,  that  it  was  identical 
as  to  contents  with  part  ii.  of  the  St.  Paul's 
Psalter.  In  aize  it  is  somewhat  smaller,  measuring 
4j  K  3i  inches.  The  binding  is  of  the  seventeenth 
centuiy,  so  that  it  ia  impossible  to  say  whether 
the  psalter  was  ever  connected  with  a  Form  of 
Prayers  and  Catechism.  The  type  ia  black-letter; 
the  title  ia  the  same  as  that  of  the  Genevan  edition, 
with  the  lines  arraDgod  differently,  and  the  mis- 
prints "  then  "  and  "  mercie  "  corrected  to  fcTi  and 
mtrie.  The  volume  was  undoubtedly  printed  in 
Great  Britain,  but  as  there  is  no  imprint,  a  question 
might  be  raided  as  to  whether  the  place  was  Lon- 
dou  or  Edtuburgh.  The  collation  is  clxxxi  leavca 
paged  (the  title  being  counted  as  i).  aad  table, 
three  leaves  anpuged.  Folios  177,  178,  and  179 
are  erroneously  printed  clxvii,  cliviii,  and  cliix. 
Many  of  the  mi5prints  in  the  Genevan  edition 
appear  to  have  been  corrected,  and  I  noticed  a  few 
alight  variations  in  the  melodies.  These,  In  some 
cases,  were  no  doubt  mere  correotions  of  the  press, 
bat  in  one  or  two  iutttancea  were  pasaibly  inten- 
tional alterations.  Be  this  as  it  may,  it  is  to  be 
observed  that  where  any  such  change  in  the  tune 
appears  in  the  Britwell  Psalter  it  is  invariably 
adopted  in  the  Scottish  Psalter  of  Andro  Hart 
Beyond  theiio  the  only  alteration  I  found  io  the 
BritwoU  Paalter  is  the  substitution  of  "W.  Ke." 
for  "Tho.  Ster."  at  the  head  of  Psalm  c. 

The  coDclusions  I  draw  from  this  collation  are 
these  :  la  and  before  lOGO  very  many  of  the  exiles 
bad  returned  to  Etigliiod  and  Scotland,  and,  no 
metrical  Psalter  having  yet  been  published  in 
either  coantry,  continued  to  use  that  to  which 
they  had  been  accustomed  in  Geneva.  For  them, 
therefore,  and  probably  also  for  general  use  In 
Scotland,  the  final  and  enlarged  edition  of  the 
Anglo-Genevan  Psalter  was  iajmediately  reprinted 
in  Great  Britain,  and  its  errors  corrected.  Thla 
may  have  been  done  under  the  superiutendenae  of 
Kethe  himself,  who  hud  probjibty  left  G<^neva  in 
IfiGO,  as,  according  to  Hiittbins'tf  JJorscUkirg,  he 
WW  institated  Mector  o(  Child<d  Okeford  in  ICUl. 


The  confusion  in  the  aatborahip  of  Paalm  c.  may, 
I  think,  be  thna  accoanted  for.  My  theory  is  that 
when  Kethe  left  Geneva  he  had  comp1ete>d  and  left 
ready  for  tbe  press  the  twenty-four  psalma  to  whici 
his  initials  are  annexed  in  the  edition  of  l.i61; 
that  he  wrote  his  version  of  Psalm  a  on  hia  retoni 
to  England,  and  that  an  nnaigned  copy  of  it 
reached  Uie  hands  of  the  Genevan  printers  in  time 
to  be  inserted  in  the  new  edition  of  the  Psalter, 
when  by  some  stopid  blunder  the  name  of  Stem- 
bold  was  attached  to  it;  that  this  error  was  imme- 
diately corrected  wben  the  Anglo-Genevan  Paalter 
was  reprinted  in  England,  tne  correccioo  being 
followed  in  the  Scottish  Psalter  of  1564  ;  and  that 
John  Day,  having  also  obtained  a  copy  of  Kethe'i 
version  without  knowing  the  name  of  the  author, 
inserted  it  as  anonymous  in  the  first  edition  of  hii 
English  Psalter,  1^60-61  (the  only  known  oopy  of 
which  is  now  in  the  posseaaion  of  Octavim 
Morgan,  Esq.),  the  later  eoitions  merely  fallowii^ 
the  first  in  this  r^pect.  Tbe  Anglo-Oenevan 
Psalter  was  bodily  incorporated  in  the  Scottish 
Psalter  of  15G-1,  and  it  is  now  clear  tbut  ths 
Scottish  editors  used  the  reprint,  not  tbe  origloal 
Genevan  edition. 

Whether  Mr.  Morgan's  Day  or  the  St.  PauTi 
Genovan  Psalter  was  the  first  published,  whether, 
consequently, "  All  people  that  on  earth  do  dwell" 
first  appeared  in  print  in  England  or  Geneva, 
and  whether  one  Psalter  might  have  borrowed  il 
from  the  other,  are  still  opea  questions.  Ws 
cannot  fix  exactly  the  relative  dates  of  pab- 
lication,  but  everything  seems  to  me  to  indioatf 
that  the  two  Paalters  appeared  almost  simul- 
(aneouBly  and  quite  independently ;  and  it  may 
also  bo  well  to  point  out  that  the  date  1560 
on  the  title-page  of  Mr.  Morgan's  Day  does  not 
prove  that  it  was  published  l^fore  the  Oenenn 
book  of  1561.  The  English  date  is  old  style,  and 
the  fact  that  the  date  on  tbe  colophon  is  1561 
Kbow.4  that  Day's  Psalter  was  not  publlahed  befoN 
April,  1S61.  On  the  other  hand,  tbe  year  at 
Geneva  then  ended  at  Cbristmui,  and  Durasd 
might  thus  have  preceded  Day  by  three  months.

J  think  we  ehould  read,  "I  gave  thee  power,"  for 
Ariel  has  exorfiist^d  the  power  over  the  meuner 
apirit-s  granted  him  by  Prospero  already  in  the 
second  scene  of  the  first  act,  where  he  directs  them 
to  dunco  and  to  sing:— 

"  Come  unto  those  yollow  sandsr"  &o,

Mr,  Aldib  Wright  ingeniously  remarks  that 
*'U  would  seem  more  natural  that  these  words 
should  be  addressed  to  Miranda."  "If  they  are 
properly  assigned  to  Proapero,"  he  continues,  "  we 
should  Lave  expected  that  part  of  the  previous 
speech  would  have  been  spoken  by  Miranda.  They 
might  form  a  continuation  of  Ftirainand's  speech, 
which  would  then  be  interrupted  by  Prospero's 
*  sitencA  ! '      Otherwise  the    difliculty    might    be 

avoided  by  giving 'Sweet to  do'^to  Miranda 

«od  the  rest  of  the  npeech  to  Prosper©."    To  me  a 
alight  variation  of  the  latter  arrangement  seems  to 
meet  all  exigencies.  I  feel  certain  that  the  original 
distribution  of  these  lines  was  as  follows:—

IV.  L  loo. 

Dyce    eagerly  contends    for    the    correctness    of 
ftlttlone's  interpretation  of  this  passage,  roci  in  the 
opinion  of  both  these  critics  being  equivalent  to 
Acrtck^  whereos  they  think  it  completely  inadrais- 
»ible  to  take  the  word   in  the  sense  of  scad  or 
floating  vapour,  as  has  "been  done  by  Collier  and 
others.    In  my  opinion  just  the  reverse  is  the  cose; 
wrtdt  in  this  passage  would  be  far  too  gross  and 
not  in  keeping  with  the  context.    Without  review- 
ing the  explanations  given  by  Staunton  and  other 
editors,  I  merely  wish  to  point  oat  a  circumsranoe 
that  has  not  yet  been    adverted  to,  and    which 
seems  to  decide  in  favour  of  racfc=vapOHr  or  scad* 
It  is  agreed  on  almost  all  hands  (bat  in  these  lines 
Shakespeare  has  imitated  a  well-known  passage  in 
the  Earl  of  Stirling's  tragedy  of  Variut,  which 
its  author  winds  up  with  the  foltowiog  words; — 
"  Those  stat«tift  Court*,  thoie  iky  encounCring  waJles 
Eranuh  all  like  pa^iours  in  ttio  Bire.'' 

To  me  it  admits  of  no  doubt  that  rack  was  in- 
tended by  Shakespeare  as  a  substitute  for  the 
synonymous  vapour/.  And  why  may  he  not  have 
connected  the  word  with  the  indefinite  article, 
nnusual  though  this  connexion  may  bo?  At  all 
events  this  syntactical  anomaly  seems  highly  im- 
pressive, as  it  reduces,  so  to  say,  the  mass  of  float- 
ing vapours  to  a  single  particle  or  streak,  and  seems 
to  imply  that  all  the  gurgeouineiu  of  earth  does 
not  even  leave  behind  such  a  single  streak  or  drift 
of  vapour.  K.  £lzk,

Ths  Bkfbmdencb  of  Kbcognitiox  on  Asso- 
ciATioy. — The  following  incidents  seem  forcibly 
to  illustrate  a  psychological  fact  which  has  been 
very  little  noticed,  viz.,  how  much  the  power  of 
reoognition,  even  in  our  most  familiar  perceptions, 
depends  en  associated  impressions.  The  other 
day  I  enclosed  a  stamped  envelope,  addressed  by 
mytelf  to  myUlff  in  a  letter  to  a  correspondent 
from  whom  I  wished  for  certain  information. 
Among  my  letters  I  soon  got  the  reply  in 
the  envelope  I  had  thus  myself  addressed.  But 
having  forgotten  that  I  Imd  done  this,  I  failed  to 
recognize  my  own  handwriting,  though  I  examined 
it  before  opening  the  cover.  Nay,  more,  I  wan 
puzzled  to  conjecture  whose  writing  it  wan,  until  I 
actually  deceived  myself  by  a  fancied  resemblance 
to  the  writing  of  another  person  from  whom  I  was 
expecting  to  hear,  and  I  opened  the  letter  in  the 
belief  that  it  was  from  that  person. 

A  few  days  ago  I  was  at  the  annual  general 
meeting  of  a  club  of  which  I  am  a  member.  In 
the  chair  was  an  eminent  judge,  who  had  been 
unexpectedly  called  upon  to  till  that  place. 
Although  I  had  not  Iho  honour  of  his  personal 
ncquaintance,  thero  was  scarcely  a  judge  on  the 
liench  with  whose  appearance,  voice,  and  charac- 
teristics my  long  standing  nt  the  Bar  had  made  nic 
more  familiar  in  court.  Yet,  because  I  had  not 
expected  to  see  him  in  this  place,  nor  at  all  asso- 
ciated him  with  my  club,  I  entirely  failed  to 
recognize  him,  although  my  attention  was  specially 
directed  to  him  by  n  member  of  the  club  who 
utood  by  me,  and  who  asked  me  who  the  chairman 
was.    I  replied  that  I  did  not  know. 

It  is  true  that  my  powers  of  recognition  are 
exceptionally  defective,  as  I  have  frequently  had 
vexatious  occasion  to  observe ;  but  what  is  the 
case  in  an  exaggerated  degree  with  myself  is  true 
of  every  one.  The  mind  becomes  almost  helpless, 
and  experience  ceases  to  be  such,  in  the  absence 
of  its  habitual  context.  Thinking  the  above  facts 
may  be  useful  to  those  among  the  readers  of 
"y*  &  Q,"  who  are  intetcsted  in  piyehologioal

TiHOTBT  Scribble's  "Poetical  SriscELLANT." 
— "Who  was  Timothy  Scribble,  who  piibliahed  a 
Political  Miscdhny  about  the  year  1742,  dating 
from  "  The  Peak  in  Derbyshire  "  ?  It  is  an  octavo 
Toluuie  of  416  puges,  and  contains  Beverut  poems 
of  interest.  The  editor  saya  in  the  preface,  "  The 
Inquisitive  will  bo  strangely  put  to  it  to  find  out 
who  this  Tim  Scribble  is,"  and  hints  that  he  is 
of  the  same  family  as  the  well-known  Martinus 
Scribtcrus.  A  little  further  on  ho  ha3  a  gentle 
aneer  at  Swift.  Evidently  he  fully  recugnized  Popovs 
power  and  admired  his  wit,  but  bated  the  man  ; 
hence  he  included  nob  only  the  elaborate  EphtU 
to  the  Duke  of  Chandos  in  1732,  intended  to  ex- 

fie  pope,  in  which,  amongst  other  thing?!,  the 
iter  says — 
■'  And  jet  there  tirei  (oh,  shame  to  Human  Race  I) 
A  wretch,  wlio  bnasu  nitfain  vour  ho&rt  a  Place : 
Who  like  an  Adder,  awuU'n  tvith  cherishing, 
Darts  at  bis  Patron  his  relentless  sting,*' 

but  also  the  still  more  stinging  epigram  : — 
"  Let  Pope  no  more  what  Chandos  builds  deride, 
Bt-OAuse  he  takes  not  Nature  for  his  i:uide; 

L Since,  wondrous  Critic  I  in  ihj  fonn  we  see 
That  Nature's  self  may  err— »•  well  as  he." 


Many  of  the  pnem3  are  original ;  others  of  them 
aro  oopied  from  existing  publications.  Amongab 
them  are  Jane  Brereton's  celebrated  lines  on  the 
picture  of  Nash  at  Bath.  Who  was  this  Tim 
Scribble  ?  Edward  Sollt. 

The  Patrok  Saints  op  tiik  chief  Cities, 
&.C.J  or  England  and  Waliis. — I  am  preparing 
a  list  of  these,  and  shall  bo  much  obliged  by  any 
of  your  readers  furnishing  me,  direct,  with  the 
names  of  the  patron  saints,  or  reputed  patrons,  of

Etymology  op  LYiriNOTON  or  Limikuton.— 
In  biographies  of  Cardinal  Wolsey  wo  are  told 
that  his  hrst  preferment  was  (by  the  Marquis  of 
Dorset  in  iSOt))  to  the  rectory  of  Lymington,  in 
Somerset,  where  he  met  with  the  treatment  that 
SL  Paul  did  at  Philippi,  but  for  a  very  different 
reason,  and  not  at  all  to  his  credit  (aa  neither  was 
his  subsequent  revenge  for  it).  But  if  we  look 
for  this  place  in  a  modern  gazetteer,  we  find  no 
such  town  in  that  county,  though  there  is  a  well- 
known  one  in  Ilampshire.  The  name  of  the  little 
village  in  Somerset,  near  Ilchester,  of  which  the 
great;  cardinal  was  once  rector,  is,  in  fact,  now 
DBnally  spelt  Limington ;  but  one  would  like  to 
know  tho  moaning  of  the  firat  syllable,  lym  or 
lim.  Can  it  be  connected  with  livijndj  and  ia

Aw  Ancient  Volume  Wanted.— There  is 
before  me  an  original  letter,  addressed  by  the  Bsv. 
Dr.  Alex.  Geddes,  author  of  Bardomachiaj  &c.^  to 
DaTid,  eleventh  Earl  of  Bucfaan  (founder  of  the 
Scottish  Society  of  Antiqnaries),  and  dated,  from 
London,  July  28,  1791.  It  is  devoted  to  the  din- 
cuaaioQ  of  literary  and  antiquarian  matters  which 
had  already  been  under  the  consideration  of  these 
gentlemen.    One  paragraph  runs  : — 

"If Captain  Anderson  hare  made  no  mistake  iDtlie 
report  of  the  date  of  the  book  of  Prints  in  the  MoniL.^terT 
ofParaeltte,  it  must  be  a  very  great  curiosity  indeciL  I 
hope  his  information  is  accurate.  If  I  go  next  Spring 
into  France,  as  I  now  purpose,  I  will  not  foil  to  examine 
this  matter  to  the  bottom,  and  let  your  Lordship  know 
the  resnlt." 

Lord  Buchan's  endorsement  on  this  letter  h  as 
follows : — 

"  I  anderstood  from  Capt.  Anderson  of  the  55th  Reg^-j 
who  visited  me  at  Dr^bu^h,  that  there  was  in  the  Piirn- 
clete,  or  a  certain  religious  house  in  the  neighbourhoH^d 
of  ChalonSj  in  France,  a  rolume  of  drawings  of  very  old 
date  in  which  were  many  of  the  Scots  Abbeys,  &0.,  prior 
to  the  Reformation." 

There  is  nothing  in  the  earl's  correspondence  to 
show  the  result  of  any  inquiry  that  may  have  been 
made  regarding  this  "  great  curiosity."  It  is  just 
possible  that  some  one  of  your  readers  at  home  or 
abroad  may  know  something  of  the  volume  in 
question.  Alex.  Fergusbon,  Lieut.-Co]. 

Anne  Boletn. — Upon  what  authority  does  Miss 
Fanny  Kemble  base  her  statement  that  A  one 
Boleyn  possessed  superfluous  fingers  and  toes? 
The  passage  in  question  occurs  in  her  Nofe9  on 
Mome  of  Skahspeare'tt  Playi,     D'Arct  Power.

A  Legend  of  Cologne.— Most  travellers  on 
the  Rhine  have  seen  at  Cologne  the  two  atone 
horses'  heads  which  peep  from  the  window  of  the 
top  floor  of  a  hotise  in  the  Neumarkt,  and  have 
been  told  the  legend  they  commemorate.  The 
wife  of  a  citixen  who  had  been  boned  in  the  vault 
ill  the  Choroh  of  the  H0I7  Apostles  awoke  from 


her  deathlike  tmDce  and  returned  to  the  bonse  0I 
her  husband,  who  tleclored,  beholding  the  appari< 
tsoD,  that  be  would  sooner  beliere  that  bis  bona 
oould  gallop  up  &o  the  roof  of  his  houBe  than  thai 
one  should  rise  again  from  the  dead.  Scaroel] 
bad  he  spoken  the  words  when  horses^  hoofs  wen 
beard  mouDtiDg  the  staini,  and  soon  their  beadi 
were  seen  looking  out  of  the  window  of  the  oppei 
story.  My  query  is  thia  :  How  does  the  moden 
ratiooaliziDgctibtD  explain  the  architect's  intentioi 
in  placing  these  borsea'  heads  in  the  strange  posi- 
tion in  which  we  now  see  them  ?  L.  A.  K.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


6«»iS.VII.Jc!rE2/S3. 


In  the  reigns  of  Edw.  VI.  and  Philip  and  Mary 
Acta  were  passed  for  the  livery  coats  of  yeomen. 
Before  this,  as  at  the  battle  of  St.  Albans,  the 
armies  were  distinguished  by  badges,  and  fre- 
quently the  soldiers  wore  distinguishing  scarves. 

A  curious  MS.  in  the  College  of  Arms  contains 
the  orders  of  the  DnVe  of  Norfolk  for  clothing  a 
force  for  Henry  VIII.,  "  fotemen's  cotes  of  blew 
clothe  garded  with  redde  clothe,"  and  "  the  right 
hose  to  bo  all  red,  and  the  lefte  to  be  blew,"  with 
n  broad  red  stripe  down  it.  But  by  a  letter  from 
Thomas,  Lord  Wharton,  to  Francic,  Lord  Shrews- 
bury, the  colour  at  that  time  appears  to  have  been 
generally  white. 

In  the  reign  of  Elizabeth  (1584)  there  was  a 
change  of  colour,  the  lords  in  council  directing  the 
soldier  to  have  "  also  a  cassocke  of  some  motley  or 
other  sadd  grene  coller,  or  russet."  The  queen 
also  directed  that  the  cavalry  should  have  "  redd 
clokes,  lined,  without  sleeves,  and  of  length  to 
the  knee."  But  in  the  details  of  all  the  soldier  is 
to  have,  summer  and  winter,  colour  la  not  men- 
tioned. 

In  nn  original  contract,  1693,  in  Brit.  Mua., 
Harl.  ftlS.  6844,  the  clothier  contracts  to  furnish 
private  sentinels  and  sergeants  with  "grey  coat 
ond  breeches,"  drummers  with  "  purple  coat  and 
grey  breeches." 

It  must  be  remembered  that  nntil  the  Caroline 
period  the  similarity  of  colour  would  not  meet 
with  much  attention,  as  the  uniformity  of  troops 
waa  shown  in  arms  and  armour,  which  were  the 
men's  own  property,  the  differences  on  opposing 
aides  being  marked  by  scarves  or  badges. 

Uniformity  of  dress  grew,  I  have  always  thought, 
OB  armour  disappeared  ;  and,  so  far  as  I  have  been 
able  to  find  out,  we  may  take  Charles  I.'s  reign  as 
a  certain  early  period  for  regular  coloured  uniform 
coats  for  regiments. 

Old  Brian  Twyne  kept  a  diary  during  part  of 
1642-3  here  in  Oxford  at  the  commencement  of 
the  rebellion,  and  A.  k  Wood  has  embodied  it  in 
his  Annals;  but  it  was  printed  tn  extemo  by  Tom 
Hearne  at  the  end  of  his  edition  of  the  Durtsfahh 
ChronicU,  In  speaking  of  the  arrival  of  Purlia- 
mentary  troops,  he  says,  "Thurseday,  22  Sept, 
there  came  into  Oxford,  about  foiye  o'clock  in 
the  afternoone,  a  foot  regiment  of  blewe  coate 
soldiers,  in  number  about  450,  from  Tame  or 
Aylesbury,  but  originally  from  Lundon  and  beyond 
liundon  also  as  is  supposed,"  &o.  On  the  follow- 
ing Tuesday  "  came  in  many  more  pedites,  &c ; 
there  were  8  or  10  auntients  of  them  of  a  purple 
cnllour,  with  the  armes  of  England  and  7  starres 
in  the  feild  ;  every  auntient  hod  an  hundred  men 
under  it ;  and  there  bad  come  in  6  hundred  before 
in  the  forenoone  and  more ;  so  that  there  lay  in  the 
Towne  that  night  about  3,000  Boldiera." 

Some  manhed  oat  next  day.    But  that  rosaet 
'UBpnrMUiBg  oolonr  itppeus  icDia  a  note  %  few 


days  later  of  a  sort  of  free  fight  in  "  high  street, 
at  Carfoxe,  and  about  the  Starre,"  between  "  the 
blewe  coates  and  russett  coatea,"  and  both  seem 
to  have  given  much  trouble  in  getting  them  oat  of 
the  place. 

Tn  1643  Charles  was  establishing  himself  in 
Oxford  and  forming  magazines. 

"  The  Magaxin  for  armci  and  gunpowder  was  in  ncwe 
colledge,  and  the  Magazin  for  vittellH  in  the  Gild  hall, 
and  for  come  in  the  rchooleB:  w  the  Magaxln  forcluth 
was  in  the  Mu»irko  School,  and  in  the  Antronomy  f choole 
adjoining  to  it.  Tbatdajallso  were  a  threat  many  Taylers, 
ai  well  foreigners  as  Townsmen,  Mt  rinworke  to  cutt  ont 
them  coatea  to  the  number  of  4,(K)0  or  5,000  Us  I  vu 
toM),  which  were  prcsontly  aftt-rward  put  forth  to  ths 
Taviera  here  Inhabitants,  and  ta  itranRen  within  ten 
milefi,  who  were  called  into  Oxford,  to  be  made  up  and 
finished,"  &i.c. 

The  colour  of  the  cloth  is  not  given  here,  but  we 
may  conclude  that  it  was  of  the  two  royal  colonrv, 
as  on  the  occasion  (^  the  queen's  visit  to  Oxford 
in  the  following  July  we  learn  that  the  king  and 
queen  rode  in  from  Edgehill  on  Thursday  the  13th, 
and  that  on  Saturday  *'  all  the  common  soldiers 
were  newe  apparalled,  some  in  red  coates,  breeches, 
and  mounteers,  and  aome  all  in  blewe." 

With  the  Restoration  and  the  commencement  of 
a  "standing  army,"  "the  king'a  livery"  ooloun 
became  the  uniform  coloura  for  ever. 

From  1660,  or  the  date  of  the  raising  of  a  corpi^ 
the  colour  has  been  called  "scarlet^;  and  two 
regiments  raised  before  the  Restoration  were  so 
dressed. 

The  1st  Foot — known  as  the  Royals,  now  aa  Um 
Royal  Scots— have  exiated  from  1633,  when  they 
were  Le  Regiment  de  Douglas  ;  but  I  find  the  first 
date  of  scarlet  and  white  facings  as  1678.  Colonel 
Monk's  Regiment  of  Foot  (the  Coldstream  Ouardf) 
waa  raised  in  1650,  and  wore  scarlet  and  green 
facings  ;  the  latter  were  changed  to  blue  in  1685. 

The  red  period  may  be  taken,  then,  as  1660, 
when  the  army  consisted  of,  first,  the  honsehold 
corps,  consisting  of  the  Body  Guards  and  Hotse 
Guards,  the  former  divided  into  companies  of  two 
hundred  men  each,  the  latter  regimented  and  con- 
taining eight  troops  of  seventy  men  each  ;  next, 
horse  and  dragoons  ;  thirdly,  the  foot  guards,  two 
regiments,  partly  musketeers,  partly  pikemen.  The 
musketeers  wore  red  coats  turned  up  with  light 
blue;  the  pikemen  had  coata  of  a  silver  colour 
alno  turned  up  with  light  blue.  Fourthly,  Ihe 
infantry  of  the  line,  all  clothed  in  red  coota  ;  for, 
as  Mr.  Gleig,  the  late  Chaplain- General,  says,  in 
his  MUiiaTy  Uistory^  "  red  being  the  royal  livery, 
seems  by  this  time  {Ump.  Charles  II.)  to  have  been 
adopted  aa  the  most  appropriate  colour  in  which 
to  array  the  king's  soldieiB."  I  need  hardly  aay 
that  our  dark  green  for  riflemen  waa  adopted 
from  German  Jhgera  in  1797,  when  the  5bh  Bat- 
talion, 60th,  was  raised.  GlBBia  Biqavd^

"The  Sanctuary  or  a  Trqubi,id  Soulb" 
(e«'  S.  vii.  266).— llie  author  of  this  little  book 
was  Sir  John  Hayward,  or  Haywarde,  a  somewhat 
voluminous  writer,  who  was  educated  at  Cam- 
bridge, where  be  took  the  degree  of  LL.D,  His 
first  publication  waa  The  First  Paii  of  the  Life 
and  Raiane  of  King  Binry  the  iK.,  Lond.  4to., 
1599,  This,  unfortunately  for  him,  was  dedicated 
to  Robert,  Karl  of  Essex,  with  the  words  "Great 
thou  ort  in  Hope,  greater  in  expectation  of  future 
time."  This  much  dicpleased  the  queen,  who 
dejjired  Lord  Bacon  to  read  the  book  and  search 
for  treason.  There  were  passages  referring  to  here- 
ditary succession  to  the  tlirone,  but  Bncon  found 
DO  treason,  only  that  the  writer  had  stolen  much 
from  Tacitus  (Uacon's  Apophthtgms,  22).  This  saved 
Hay  ward's  U/e,  but  he  was  committed  to  prison, 
and  he  suffered  a  tedious  imprisonment  for  his 
unreasonable  publication  (Camden's  A  nnafs,  1601).

too  much  for  an  historian,  which  puts  him  n

the  end  of  the  edition  of  1620  Hayvrard  added  an 
epilogaC)  commencing  "  And  thua  after  twenty 
yeerea  growth  and  almost  no  many  impressions 
tbia  booke  ia  now  come  to  the  full  staturo,  and  I 
take  my  last  leave  either  for  altering  or  encrea»iug 
it  hereafter."  From  tbia  it  would  appear  that  the 
book  was  written  about  1600,  and  first  printed 
shortly  afterwards.  Probably  it  first  came  out 
anonymously,  and  possibly  it  had  then  a  different 
title.  There  were  also  other  editions  printed  in 
1632  and  1640.  Edward  Sollt. 

The  beat  and  fullest  account  of  Sir  John  Hay-

I  wish  to  add  an  illustration  or  two  to  Pkof. 
Skcat's  note  on  this  subject.  His  explanation  of 
tfae  prefix  Hund  to  the  nnmerals  after  60  is  the 
most  probable  way  of  accounting  for  a  singular 
peculiarity  in  the  A.-S.  scale.  Its  connexion  with 
the  higher  French  numerals  is  not  so  clear.  The 
vigesimal  scale  prevails  in  uU  the  Celtic  tongues, 
and  it  is  most  likely  that  from  this  source  the 
French  language  drew  its  chimsy  phraseolof^y. 
After  twenty  the  Cymric  proceeds :  20,  njam;  3t"i, 
dtgarugnxn  (ten  and  twenty);  36,  ^tn-ar-pymthcg- 
or-«yoin  (one  and  fifteen  and  twenty);  40,  tUu-gain 
(two  twenties);  80,  ptdivar  vgain  (four  twenties); 
90,  dig-ar-pedicar  vgain  (ten  and  four  twenties). 

Diez,  quoted  by  Pott  (DU  Quinare  tind  Vigt- 
timaU  ZaHlm€thod€)t  says,  speaking  of  French 
numeration,  "  Die  Lnt.  methode  erstreckt  sich  mir 
bis  6<>.  Die  iibrigen  Zebner  werden  duroh  Addi- 
tion umschrieben.  Die  Art  zu  zahlcn  iat  oralt, 
doch  brauchte  man  friiher  dancbcn  aucb  septanUy 
nonatitef  selten  kuiiinU."  It  may  be  mentioned 
in  passing  that  srptanU^  huitantcy  and  nojiante  are 
Btill  in  u»e  iu  the  Channel  Islands.  Pott  con- 
tioue^i  "  Keltischer  Eintluss  wird  inbesondere 
durchdiegrosseAehnlichkeitderZuhlongsmethode 
in  Bc^breion  wahrBcbeiolicb  gemacht." 


There  does  not  appear  in  the  French  lao^nage 
any  adoption  of  the  long  hundred  or  of  the  duo- 
decimnl  scale.  The  reckoning  by  twenties  is 
carried  on  far  beyond  120.  Thus  JoinTille, 
"  Quant  je  arivai  en  Cypre  il  ne  me  fu  demonr<5 
de  remenant  que  douza  yins  (240)  lirree  de  tour- 
noia."  Again,  in  Commines,  *'  Y  perdit  quatonse 
▼ingt  homes." 

The  Celtic  languages  present  interesting  ex- 
amples of  the  primitive  quinary  nouition,  which 
survives  in  the  Greek  word  irc/in-d^u),  to  connt, 
literally  to  number  by  fiyca  : — 

"  nis  herd 
Of  Phooae  numbering  first,  he  will  pMS  through 
And  sum  them  all  by  fivee,"  dt.  iv.  412, 

Thus,  after  passing  ten  up  to  fourteen,  fifteen 
begin*  a  new  series— pyml/wj^,  Ifi ;  nnarpifmihegt 
16  (one  and  fifteen) ;  dcuarpymtheg,  17  [two  and 
fifteen),  &c. 

Of  the  duodecimal  scale  we  find  only  a  trace  in 
the  High  Oer.  elf  z\cblf,  Goth.  ainH/.  ivalif,  one 
left,  two  left.  In  the  Low  German  it  wa^  more 
developed,  but  principally  was  carried  out  in  the 
Norse  dialects,     Vigfusson  says  : — 

"  Tlio  Soindinavians  of  th«  heathen  time  (and  perhapi 
al*o  all  Teutonic  people)  seem  to  have  knomi  only  a 
auodecimiil  hundred  (12x10=120).  At  tlmt  time  100 
nu  Bxprebflcfd  by  Ulpb*  taikMHtl-taihumi  (ten  tens). 
With  the  introduction  of  ChriBtianity  came  in  the 
decimal  hundred,  tbe  two  being  distinguished  by  adjec- 
tiTM,  totf-ratd  hwidmth=\20,  ud  tiraett  kundratk^ 
100." 

The  two  have  ran  side  by  aide  down  to  the  present 
time  in  Iceland.  The  Icelandic  farmer  counts  his 
flocks  and  the  fisherman  his  takings  by  the  duo- 
decimal scale.  Even  among  ourselves  the  long  or 
duodecimal  hundred  of  120  has  lingered  in  many 
transactions  both  of  weight  and  measure.  Tho 
dozen  and  its  square  the  gross  (144)  constitute  the 
measure  by  which  many  important  articles  are 
distributed  to  the  public  There  are  12  inches 
lineal  and  144  square  inches  to  the  foot;  and  in 
the  calcuUtion  of  areas  and  artificers'  work  the 
duodecimal  mode  of  computation  still  maintains 
its  ground.  The  origin  of  the  duodecimal  system 
is  Tciled  in  obscurity.  The  decimal  mode  of 
counting  is  clear  enough  from  the  fact  of  our 
having  ten  fingers,  and  it  lias  been  conjectured 
that  the  hand,  plus  the  fingers,  counted  for  six, 
and  the  two  hands  for  twelve.  Any  development 
of  this  kind  wai  checked  by  the  adoption  of  the 
Roman  scale,  which,  however,  could  not  prevent 
the  continuance  of  the  multiples  of  twelve  already 
adopted.  See  further  Pott's  Ztihlrruihodf^  and

subject.  The  "breaking  of  a  straw,**  which  he 
quotes  from  the  English  tnuiBlation  of  the  A}wpii- 
thrtfmt  cf  Eroimui,  can  have  no  cotinexion  with 
the  symboliimi  found  ia  Dr.  JE£80Pi''s  quotatioo. 

BnuiDUB's  LattD  words  are  simply,  "Pnedico 

brevi  inter  Plktonem  ao  Dionjsium  futumm  fimuU 
Intern"  which  make  it  clear  that  '*  to  break  a 
straw  "  her©  means  "  to  have  a  row."  It  would 
be  well,  therefore,  if,  in  the  further  discussion, 
this  expression  were  kept  separate  from  "anrrender 
by  a  straw." 

Mr.  Norqats'b  allasions  to  the  Lex  Saliea  and 
Iax  Jiipuariaj  in  connexion  with  his  remark  that 
he  could  find  no  trace  of  the  breaking  of  the 
symbol,  induce  me  to  write  a  few  lines  in  the  hope 
that  they  may  bo  of  some  uso  if  the  discussion  is 
continued.  From  the  L<x  Saliea  (one  of  the 
earlieat  documents  in  Media-vnl  Latin)  it  appcnra 
that  the  Salian  Franks  used,  as  far  as  the  Latin 
Tersions  of  their  law  tell  us,  six  symbols  :  (1)  the 
fatvca  (=culmus,  calamus,  etipula,  which  appear 
in  later  documents) ;  (2)  the  fuitU  nlninus  or 
Bftlicinua ;  (3)  the  efirerucnula  (most  probabIy= 
hcrba  pura  of  the  Romans) ;  (4)  the  palus ;  (6) 
the  denarius ;  (6)  the  btudui  (table)  and  pulUt. 

The  ftit\ica  is,  of  course,  the  symbol  which 
ehiefly  concerns  us.  It  is  mentionod  :  {a)  in 
ch.  xlvi.  (I  refer  to  my  own  edition  of  the  Salie 
Law,  published  by  Mr.  Murray),  which  treats  of 
the  trantfer  of  properly  (ju&t  like  Dii.  Jessopp's 
quotalion) ;  here  the  transferrer  threw  the  festucu 
into  the  lap  or  bosom  of  the  transferee ;  {h)  in 
oh.  ].,  which  treats  of  an  unpaid  debt  or  an  un- 
redeemed pledge  ;  here  the  festuca  was  grasped 
by  tfao  creditor  while  be  called  upon  the  magistrate 
to  proceed  legally  against  hia  debit-or  (though  it 
U  not  expresur  indicated,  we  mast  presume  that 
the  Ceelaca  bela  by  the  creditor  had  been  received 
by  him  from  his  debitor  as  a  pledge)  ;  (e)  in 
ch.  Ixxviii.,  §  6,  where  a  person  who  becomes 
surety  for  another  hands  a  festuca  to  some  person 
not  named  ;  (d)  in  the  same  chapter,  5  7,  where 
the  magistrate  proceeds,  with  a  festuca,  to  the 
bouse  of  a  person  who  was  unwilling  to  satisfy  the 
law.  1  do  not  quite  see  whence  tne  festuca  had 
come  in  this  last  case. 

In  none  of  these  cases  is  there  question  of 
hrtaking  the  symbol.  But  the  breaking  of  symbol 
(2)  is  doacribcd  in  ch.  Ix.,  which  treats  of  a  person 
who  wished  to  separate  himself  from  his  relatives 
(bis  clan).  Such  a  person  had  to  proceed  to  the 
mallitm  or  judicial  assembly,  and,  in  the  presence 
of  the  magistrate,  "  quatuor  fustcs  aloinoa  {al. 
•alicLoos)  iuper  caput  $uum  fraugtrt  debet,"  and 
throw  them  into  tho  four  comers  of  the  court. 
The  Latipity  of  the  Salic  law  is  rather  awkward, 
and  so  it  is  in  this  paragraph,  but  it  may  be 
iMfluuied  that  the  party  hud  to  break  one  fustis  into 
four  pieces.  Symbol  (3)  aUo  impliedufrrcaiiny.Ka/- 
l^wirim^  about,  but  wa  DC«d  not  speak  of 


it  here,  nor  of  the  other  symbol?,  as  they  do 
come,  I  think,  within  the  range  of  the  prt'Mol 
question. 

As  regards  the  Lix  liip^taria  the  festnca  seem* 
to  have  been  the  regular  symbol  for  all  kinds  of 
transactions  ("De  quacunque  causa  festuca  ioleroe*^ 
serit,"  tit.  71),  though  it  is  only  once  distinct 
mentioned  (in  tit.  30,  1),  at  the  trial  of  a  slai 
The  nlapat  donare  and  torqutre  auriculat  of  til. 
at  the  purchase  of  property  must  not  be  forgotti 
though  I  need  not  discuss  them  here. 

Instead  of  Heineccius  (quoted  by   Mr,    N< 
oate),  Grimm's  Diuttche  HtchUalUrthtimtr  shot 
be  consulted,  where  the  subject  is  ably  handN 
I  only  think  it  necessary  to  add  that  the  Lai 
versions  of  the  Lfj:  Saliea  are  evident  tranpUti* 
from  an  original  Prankish  text,  of  which  the  All 
berg  glosses  are  the  only  remains.     The  Lex 
jniaria  is  more  or  less  an  imitation  of  tbe 
Law,  and  evidently  not  a  translation.

with  tho  little  disused  church  of  Llancaut  or 
surroundings.  He  states  that  the  onlyditfere 
between  the  nave  and  chancel  is  by  a  few  inch 
rise  in  the  Qoor  of  the  latter,  whereas  there  is 
massive  chancel  arch,  and  the  chancel  itself 
about  a  foot  narrower  than  the  nave.  The  area  of 
the  little  ruined  church  is,  nave,  18ft.  by  ISft., 
chancel,  16fL  flin.  by  lift.  lOid.  This,  together 
with  the  thickness  of  the  arch  (which  is  Sft.  5in.)| 
makes  the  total  length  of  the  church  37rt.  lio. 
Twenty  yeara  ago  tho  nave  was  pewed  throughout, 
with  pulpit,  reading  desk,  and  clerk's  desk  ;  also

JjucKs  II.  AT  Paris  (6"*  S.  vii.  4 &).— According 
to  Jeese,  in  his  Court  of  I^ufjland  jnuUr  thi 
Sl^utrU  (London,  1855),  vol.  ii.  p.  403,  King  James, 
who  died  at  St,  Germains  on  Sept.  16,  1701,  ex- 
pressly desired  in  his  will  that  he  should  be  buried 
in  the  parish  church  there,  that  his  funeral  should 
be  only  such  as  was  usual  for  a  country  gentleman, 
find  that  his  only  monument  should  be  a  plain 
slab,  with  the  won3a  "  Here  lies  King  James"  en- 
graved on  it.  These  injunctions  were  disregarded 
by  Louis  XIV.;  the  remains  of  the  dethroned 
sovereign  were  embalmed  on  the  day  of  his  death, 
and  his  obscqulca  were  conducted  with  regal  cere- 
mony. "  His  body/*  says  Jossc,  *'  was  inhumed 
in  the  parish  church  of  St,  Germains,  his  bowels 
in  the  English  College  at  St.  Ouier,  his  bruins  and 
the  Qeshy  part  of  bis  head  were  sent  to  the  Scots 
College  at  Pnris,  and  what  remained  after  this 
lingular  distribution  was  interred  in  the  English 
Benedictine  Monastery  in  that  city."  A  writer  in 
the  Edinburgh  RevieWf  noticing  Madame  Oampana 
de  Cavelli's  Verniers  Stuaru  k  Saint- Germain 
(July,  1872),  says  that  the  king's  body,  "  enclosed 
in  several  coflia?,  was  deposited  unburied  in  the 
church  of  the  English  Benedictines  (in  Paris),  to 
await  its  future  translation  to  the  chapel  of 
Henry  VIL  in  Westminster  Abbey  ";  adding,  that 
"the  inner  parts  of  the  body  of  James  IL  were 
distributed  as  follows  :  his  heart  at  Cbaillot,  his 
bruin  to  the  Scotch  College,  while  his  entrails  were 
divided  between  the  Knglisb  College atSt.Omerand 
the  parish  church  at  St.  Germains."  In  the  same 
article  there  is  an  account  by  an  eye-witness  of  the 
breaking  open  of  the  coflios  containing  James  II.'s 
body  at  the  Benedictine  Monastery  by  the  Paris 
mob  in  1793,  and  a  minute  description  of  the  state 
of  the  king's  remains.  While  the  pariah  church 
7f  St.  Germains  was  being  rebuilt  in  1824  three 
endcn  chests  were  discovered,  the  reviewer  con- 
tinues, **  one  of  which  bore  an  inscription  to  the 
street  that  within  were  coutauied  '  the  flesh  and 


noble  parte  of  the  body  of  the  very  powerful,  very 
excellent  prince  Jacques  Stuart,  second  of  the 
name.  King  of  Great  Britain/  with  his  arms  (i.«,, 
armorial  bearings)  at  the  foot  of  the  inscription. 
The  other  chests  contained  the  entrails  of  the 
Princess  Louisa,  his  daughter,  nod  of  the  Queen 
Mary  Beatrice."  A  report,  under  the  date  of  Sep- 
tember 9,  of  the  ceremony  of  reinlerring  these  relics 
of  the  king  Ls  given  in  the  AnnwUHtgitUr  for  1824. 
But  the  impression  at  that  time  leenu  to  have 
been  that  what  was  found  and  buried  again  was 
the  body  (namely,  the  trunk,  limbs,  and  cranium) 
of  James  If.  Jesse  says  that  "in  the  chapel  of 
what  was  once  the  Scots  College  at  Paris,  in  the 
Rue  des  Fosses  St.  Victor,  may  still  [that  is,  in 
1855,  apparently]  be  seen  a  monument  of  black 
and  white  marble,  executed  by  Louis  Garnier,  to 
the  memory  of  the  exiled  king";  and  this  was 
''formerly  surmounted  by  an  urn  of  gilt  bronze 
which  contained  the  brains  of  the  king.*'  The 
'monument,  as  the  inscription,  given  in  full  by 
Jesse,  shows,  w.u  erected  by  James  Drammood, 
fourth  Eirl  of  Perth,  Lord  Chancellor  of  Scotland 
at  the  Revolution  of  166B,  afterwards  oreat«d 
Duke  of  Perth  by  James  IX.,  and  Governor  of 
the  Chevalier  St.  George.  The  Duchcs?  of  Perth, 
whose  heart  was  discovered  with  the  brains  of 
the  king  in  a  drain  on  the  site  of  the  Scots  Col- 
lege in  Paris  the  other  day,  was  the  Chancellor 
Perth's  third  wife,  Lady  Mary  Gordon,  daughter 
of  Lewis,  third  Murqnens  of  Huntly,  and  sister  of 
George,  first  Duke  of  Gordon.  F.  D. 

[8«ean(#,p.  215.]! 

The  body  of  James  IT.  was  disturbed  from  iU 
repose  in  the  Benedictine  Church  during  the 
Revolution,  and  the  coffin  opened.  Robespierre 
ordered  the  corpse  to  be  buried.  This  was  not 
done  ;  but  it  was  carefully  preserved — gaining 
even  a  reputation  for  working  miracles — and  wai 
buried  in  the  church  of  St.  Germains-en-Laye,  with 
much  pomp,  by  order  of  the  Prince  Regent,  when 
the  Allies  were  in  Ports  in  181.1.

pet[tioQ€T  vtm  nppoiutal  aa  he  hod  pt&j^  on 
Mny  17,  1664.  Though  the  name  of  Jeffery 
Pearce's  eupparter  h  ladeied  aa  plain  ''Joseph 
Jordf^Q,"  the  circumatnnce  that  the  nnme  occurs 
only  ns  n  alf^aiiture  h\vei  tb  doubt  whether  Sir 
Joseph  «iL3  alr^fidy  a  koight  or  not  iii  L664. 

BLit  m  the  (hUndar  for  1606-7,  p>  96,  ho  occurs 
08  '^  Sir  Joseph  Jordan  "  under  date  Sept,  4, 1666, 
in  a  letter  fram  John  Shales  to  Sam.  Fepys.  The 
CkiUndar  which  s^BEna  to  canlaia  the  moat  full  ^ind 
frequgot  mention  of  Sir  Joseph  U  thnt  for  1667, 
when  his  Bqu^tdron,  or,  as  it  ia  sometioies  ceiled, 
**armadV*  "*3  on  the  Harwich  station.  On 
July  25}  1607,  it  u  written  th&C  Sir  Joseph  went 
out "  yesterday "  with  sixteen  fire-ahips  and  six 
small  veBselfl  of  war  (Cal.,  1667,  p.  3£7).  Other 
references  occur  at  pp,  331,  332  (2),  334,  340  (2), 
342  (2),  351  (2),  367. 

The  bteat  seems  to  be  under  date  Augnst  22, 
1667,  when  Sir  Joseph  Jordan  wa*  atill  on  the 
Harwich  stfitioo,  and  yroA  **  not  to  alter  the  gtntion 
of  our  ships  and  fire-ships  till  ordera  come,"  When 
those  ordera  came  I  am  not  at  thU  moment  able

Since  writing  the  abore  I  bare  seen  an  earlier 
reference  to  Sir  Joseph,  which  it  seems  worth  while 
to  mention  here,  especially  as  it  opens  a  source  of

medeB.  It  u,  of  coarse,  however,  obvious  that 
the  case  the  writer  had  in  hia  mind  was  that  of 
Laroinier,  la  connexioD  with  whose  deplorable  end 
it  must  always  remain  an  intereAtin}<  speculation 
whether  tho  Bcicniific  investigation  for  which  ho 
vainly  prayed  a  few  days'  respite  from  the  guillo- 
tine was  merely  pretexted  by  that  desire  for  put* 
tiDK  off  '*th'  inevitable  hour"  fcom  which  the 
moat  philosophical  ore  not  always  exempt,  or  re- 
lated to  nn  actual  discovery  which  mif;ht  have 
proved  a  benefit  to  humanity.  So  much  for  the

St.  Jbbome  (6**  S.  vi.  449;  viL  195).— If 
W.  S.  L.  S.  will  refer  to  the  new  edition  of  Sir 
Thomas  Elyot's  Qouernonr,  published  by  Messrs. 
Kcgan  Paul,  Trench  &  Co.,  he  will  find  all  the 
information  he  requires  at  p.  130  of  the  first 
volume,  in  a  long  explanatory  note  upon  the  pas- 
sage Quoted  by  your  correspondent  K.  H.  He 
will  also  find  a  passage  from  Origen  to  the  same 
effect  as  that  from  Jerome  ;  and,  as  the  editor 
there  says,  it  is  remarkable  that  neither  poisage  is 
referred  to  by  Wblston,  who  apparently  entertained 
much  the  same  opinion  as  Elyot  as  to  the  ^ound 
for  prohibitinj(  the  studr  of  this  book.  If 
W.  S.  h.  S.  will  refer  to  the  above-cited  edition, 
he  can  form  his  own  opinion  as  to  whioh  view  is 
most  likely  to  be  correct,  that  of  Elyot  and 
Whiston  on  the  one  hand,  or  of  Mr.  Homo  on  the 
other.  G. 

CiRKNCESTBR  (6*^  8.  vH.  8,  206).— Thls  is  a 
very  old  tale,  and  has  been  printed  again  and 
ofiain.  The  following  ia  an  early  version,  which 
was  printed  by  Oaxton  in  1462;  but  I  give  it  from 
the  edition  printed  by  Peter  de  Treveria  in  1527. 
The  Polyeronieon  was  originally  written  in  Latin 
enrly  in  the  fourteenth  century,  and  translated  into 
English  in  1357.  As  the  book  is  chiefly  a  com- 
pilation from  old  monkish  chronicleji,  the  tile  was 
probably  very  old  even  when  Higden  included  it 
ID  the  Polycroni&>n.  At  any  rate  it  was  current 
long  before  the  date  given  as  the  year  of  death  of 
tho  somewhat  mythical  Obristion  I(osencrutz.  I 
Lave  met  with  several  versions  of  it,  varying  more 
or  less.  In  one  a  man  with  a  bow  and  arrow  ex- 
tinguishes the  lamp.  There  are  many  accounts  of 
these  miraculous  lamps  discovered  burning  in 
tombs  hundreds  of  years  after  interment,  but 
baving  omitted  to  make  notes  of  them  I  am  unable 
to  give  references  just  now,  though  I  think  there  is 
one  such  in  Auuustine's  City  of  Ood,  with  notes 
by  L.  Yives,  1620.  I  have  not  time  to  go  through 
so  large  a  book  in  search  of  It,  but  I  give  the 
bint  to  those  who  may  have.

This  tale  has  an  Eastern  air,  and  most  likely  hod 
its  origin  in  India  or  among  the  fire-worshippen 
of  Persia,  and  may  have  been  brought  to  England 
by  the  Crusaders.  Sir  Thomas  Brown  also 
alludes  to  these  lamps  in  hia  Vulgar  Errors.

Any  OR  Akkk  (6*  S.  vii.  82fl).— This  name 
first  appeared  among  us  about  lfi72,  but  nover  be- 
came common  until  popularized  by  Queoa  Anne 
of  Bobeoiia  in  1381.  Until  Engliah  became  the 
touguo  usually  spoken  in  England,  of  course 
the  name  can  only  be  found  in  its  French  and 
L.itin  forms  of  Annt  and  Anna.  But  from  13B1 
downwards,  until  the  accession  of  the  House  of 
Hanover  at  the  earliest,  the  form  in  which  we  find 
it  is  always  Annt,  The  ugly  form  Ann  is  purely 
the  growth  of  that  tasteless  eighteenth  century 
which  aUo  docked  the  final  «  in  "Blanch,"  and 
vainly  tried  to  evolve  "Calharin."  It  did,  alas  ! 
succeed  in  substituting  Betsy  for  Bessy.  The  often 
extravagant  and  sometimes  silly  ic^thcticiam  of 
the  present  day  is  to  some  extent  a  rebound  from 
the  dreary  ugliness  of  that  utilitarian  age.  Queen 
Anne  occasionally  signed  her  name  as  Anna  ;  but, 
bad  speller  though  she  was,  I  will  venture  to  assert 
that  she  never  perpetrated  the  enormity  of  signing 
Ann.  Hermkntbude, 

Surely  both  these  forms  are  ec^ually  "  English." 
I  take  it  that  the  addition  of  the  silent  «  is  caused 
by  the  strange  but  not  uncommon  idea  that  a  name 
rises  in  the  social  scale  in  proportion  to  the  number 
of  useless  letters  it  contains,  or  the  uncoulhness  of 
its  f>pelling.  If  we  look  to  phonetic  common  senaef 
Ann  is  by  for  the  preferable  form.  The  dis- 
advantage of  Anne  ia  that  half-educated  people 
uro  not  always  aware  that  the  final  e  is  intended 
to  be  silent.  W.  T.  W.  PniLLiMOBB.

fifty  years  (l*J13-70).  One  of  the  most  brilliant  episodtit 
was  the  conquest  of  the  Dalo&ric  leles.  The  tale  ia  told 
with  singular  Ti^our;  nnd  tlie  effect  ie  heightened  by  the 
irxtrem^  eiiuplicity  of  tlie  style,  'i'he  kitifc  narrates  with 
minute  care  the  departure  of  tbe  expedition,  the  perils 
of  the  voyage,  the  difScultiea  of  the  landing,  and  tho

Tub  collection  of  contemporary  materials  for  a  life  of 
Archbishop  Bccket  is  naturally  completed  by  the  publi- 
cati(-n  of  his  correspondence,  so  far  as  it  has  been  pre- 
served. The  archbishop's  letters  liavo  never  hitherto 
been  satisfactorily  arranged  and  brought  together,  and 
as  they  are  generally  undated,  tbe  date  has  often  to  b« 
determined  by  internal  eridencc.  The  first  jwrtion  of 
this  correspondence  was  printed  in  vol.  v.  Vol.  vi. 
covers  a  period  of  three  years,  U66-C9.  It  begins  with 
a  letter  from  John  of  Salisbury  to  Ralph  Niger,  irritlen 
in  UOO,  and  ends  with  the  archbiBhop't  appeal  to  Pope 
Alexander  &}:uinBt  the  Cisbop  of  London,  who  had  then 
lately  been  cxcommuniciited.  The  skill  with  which  the 
editor  has  performed  liis  difficult  ta^k  throughout  this

not  have  lived  to  complete  it.  Arohbi«hop  Beokot's  life

Iforvay  m  Jhtu,    By  Olivia  M.  Stone.     {Marcos  Ward 

tCo.) 
In  this  book  Mrs.  Stone  gives  a  rery  interesting  aceoont 
of  her  travels  with  her  husband  in  Norwny  duriDfr  the 
month  of  June,  1681.  Simply  and  clearly  written  in  the 
form  of  a  diair,  it  is  refreshingly  free  from  the  guide- 
book stylo  of  dcscriptiTe  writing.  Being  of  opinion  that 
"  if  one  fails  to  observe  minutin  one  falls  to  notice  any- 
thing,"sbe  has  made  intelligent  use  of  her  eyes  and  ears, 
and  the  result  is  a  bock  of  more  than  ordinary  intercet 
All  objectd  which  came  under  her  notice  have  been  care- 
fuDjr  jotted  down,  whether  they  were  pigs,  politics, 
purri{Le- stirrers,  radical  newNpapers,  law7ers,  or  mag- 

{iles.  Keader*  of  "  N.  &  Q."  will  be  espeoiaJW  intsresttd 
Q  the  careful  and  elaborate  account^of  the  Viking  ship 
which  was  found  at  Gokstad  and  recently  removed  to 
Ghristiania.  Additional  interest  isgiTcti  to  the  Tolume 
by  a  number  of  illustrations,  engraTed  from  the  photo* 
graphs  which  Mr.  Stone  took  daring  the  toar.  We 
sincerely  hope  that  when  .Mra  feitone  goes  for  another 
holiday  in  June  she  will  not  tut^ti  to  store  up  her  ex- 
periences for  our  benefit,  and  that  she  will  giro  us 
another  book  as  instructive  and  interesting  as  the  one 
which  she  has  just  written. 

Buton'cal  Legmdt  q/"  Northampton$Kin^    By  Alfred  T' 

Story.  (Northampton,  Taylor.) 
These  legends  we  gather  have  been  contributed  to  the 
columns  of  a  local  newspaper;  it  is  not,  therefore^  fair 
to  Judge  of  them  very  severely.  We  would,  however. 
Inquire  what  has  been  the  motive  for  reprinting  them 
in  the  form  of  a  book.  So  far  as.  wo  can  make  out,  anJ 
we  have  read  every  word  of  them,  there  is  nothing  new 
whatever,  and  the  graces  of  style  arc  not  such  as  to 
induce  the  reader  to  linger  over  a  tbrice-told  tale.  The 
author  is  far  too  fond  of  making  quotations,  some  of 
which  have  little  or  nothing  to  do  with  the  matter  in 
band,  and  when  he  does  not  quote  directly,  the  form 
which  his  sentences  scmetimea  take  suAgests  well  known 
passages  in  the  writings  of  others.  Mr.  Story  has  evi- 
dently a  great  fondness  for  historical  reading.  It  is  a 
pity  ho  does  not  take  up  one  subject  and  thoroughly 
work  it  out.  We  are  pretty  certain  that  the  "good 
men"  of  Moreton  as  to  the  derivation  of  the  name  oC 
weedon  from  Peada,  the  son  of  I'enda,  Is  a  mistaken 
one.  Ouesaing  ii  a  practice  which  is  uf  very  little  use  in 
this  world,  except  when  playing  certain  children's  games. 
Ik  ii  especially  out  of  place  in  philological  inquiries. 

TTit  Churchvftrd  of  SL  IlUary,  ConwalL  A  Paper  read

Kcv.  W.  S,  Lach-Ssyrma. 
TiiK  chnrch  of  St.  Hilary  is  almoit  entirely  new,  as  it 
hai  sulTercil  from  a  recent  Are.  The  churchyard  contains 
three  nhjccts  of  special  interest— a  mutilated  Roman  in- 
scription, of  the  A;;o  and  bearing  the  name  of  Con- 
sLantine-  an  inarrihtrd  Bomano-Britiah  itone,  the  mean- 
ing of  whose  legend  is  at  prceent  oninterpreled;  and  a 
Celtic  churchvard  cross  with  equal  arms  and  a  circular 
tfory.  This  last  stands  on  a  low  pedestal  and  is  in  good 
fmcrvaUoo.    The  grouping  of  all  these  relioa  of  past 


ciriliiations  together  "in  a  narrow  path  of  some  twenty 
yards  is  striking."  Air.  Lacb-Ssyrma  thinks  that  there 
are  but  few  other  examples  of  so  curious  «  parochial 
museum,  the  more  curious,  as  he  points  out,  from  ths 
fact  that  their  being  gathered  together  iu  one  place 
seems  to  have  been  entirely  unintentional.

We  have  so  closely  followed  the  career  of  oar  new 
Midlaitd  Oonnlies  contemporary,  that  the  readers  of 
"  N.  k  Q."  Boarcely  need  more  than  to  be  reminded  by 
the  present  notice  that  the  work  reprrtented  by  the  first 
volume  of  the  Midland  Antitputrt^  is  now  before  tlie 
world.  Many  a  curious  note  on  Birmingham,  Wu-wick, 
Worcester,  Stafford,  &c.,  will  be  found  in  its  pagei^ 
reproduced  from  the  "  Local  Motes  and  (faeries  for- 
merly published  iu  the  ^trmin^Aaiti  Jtmrnal,  and  the 
second  volume  will  contain  similar  reproductions  of  those 
in  the  Daily  Pott.  In  the  concluding  number  of  vol.  L 
Mr.  Amphlett  gives  a  list  of  place  and  field  names  in  the 
parish  of  Clent,  specially  valuable  at  a  time  when,  as  the 
writer  justly  reminds  us,  the^o  names  are  rapidly  dying 
out.  It  is  verv  much  to  be  desired  that  they  should  be 
gathered  in  while  ii  is  yet  pos»ible  to  collect  them.  We 
wiih  that "  F.  Ii.  K."  would  give  some  further  and  lees 
frngucutary  notes  of  the  Inf  captions  in  Ledbury  Church, 
a  fine  old  prebcndal  church  in  the  heart  of  a  district 
rich  in  historic  county  families.  We  hope  to  aee  nuuiy  a

tfae  600  oopies  of  the  CompluteuBian  Polyglot.  It 
is  in  six  toIs.  (four  contuiDing  the  Old  Testament, 
one  the  New  Testament,  and  one  is  a  Hebrew  and 
Greek  lexicon).  Vol.  i.  of  our  copy  has  been 
much  cut  down,  and  begins  at  chap.  xiii.  of 
Leviticus,  and  all  the  volumes  except  that  contain- 
ing the  New  Testameut  have  been  rebound.  Il  is 
well  known  that  this  edition,  printed  at  AJoaliV  de 
Hernir«s  (Complutum)  by  Cardinal  Ximenes  (print- 
ing eaded  May  3,  151fi),  was  not  published  till 
1522,  so  that  Erasmus  in  1616  bad  the  honour  of 
publishing  the  first  edition  of  the  Greek  text  of 
the  New  Testament.  Each  volume  of  our  copy 
hai  a  parchment  label  (pasted  inside  the  cover  in 
the  case  of  the  rebound  volumes,  but  outside  the 
cover  of  the  New  Testament  volume  and  protected 
by  a  thin  covering  of  born),  which  has  the  follow-

A  beautiful  little  volume  bias  lately  been  dis-

by  Oiacomo  Lmuticri  di  Paratioo  di  Brescia,  and 
was  printed  at  Venice  in  1558  by  Bolognino  2:tl-

ing, with  the  splendid  coat  of  arms  of  Alfonso  of 
£at«,  the  flfib  and  last  Duke  of  Ferrara  (d.  1507),

with  152-1,  and  that  may  be  taken  as  its  approxi-

copy  of  an  edition  (printed  in  1537,  "  studio  et 
impensi  Antonii  Goioi")  of  Cardinal  Qulgnoo'i 
reformed  Breviary,  which  seems  to  have 
the  notice  of  Dr.  J.  M.  Neale  {Enay  <m '.

(fellow  of  the  college  in  1638)  to  Preiideat  Law- 
rence Humphrey  (1561-86).  The  other  is  a  pre- 
sentation copy  from  the  author  to  the  nms 
president. 

It  may  suffice  to  mention  an  imperfect  cony  of 
Hector  Boece's  Chronicles  of  i^colUin<it  translated 
by  Master  John  Bellcnden,  and  printed  at  Edin- 
burgh, which  has  on  the  tly>le&f  a  curiooa  wat<r-

on  wbit«  Bilk.  The  otbor  curiosity  is  a  Bories  of 
Kpu  copies  of  a  fine  set  of  portraits  by  Vandyke, 
ef  which  the  origioalB  belong  to  the  Dake  of 
Baocleuch.  Those  are  said  to  be  the  only  known 
gopies,  and  were  made  by  a  yoang  artiAt  named 
White,  whoee  father  presented  them  to  the  onllege. 

I  have  now  completed  my  aoooant  of  our  oolle^o 
library,  and  though  it  does  not  pretend  to  be 
oomplete  or  exhaustive,  I  trust  it  may  be  of  some

P.S. — With  reference  to  my  notes  on  oar  copy 
of  the  Lihir  CoVationumf  Mr.  Maskeli  informs 
me  that  the  Ford  Abbey  copy  (which  baa  one  or 
two  Knj^liah  rubrics  which  ours  does  not  contain) 
jpasscd  into  his  posae^uiion  about  forty  years  back, 
^d  is  now  in  the  British  Museum  with  the  other 
Bcarce  ritual  books  which  he  preaented  to  the 
Ikation  some  time  ago.  Mr.  Maskell  also  tells 
me  that  be  boUeres  the  St  Andrew's  Priory  copy 
to  be  in  Lord  Robartea's  library  at  Llanhydrock. 


"PETER  PIiYMLErs  LETTERS." 
In  1837  FcUr  Flym^ei^t  Litters  were  out  of 
print.  My  father- in-law,  Mr.  B.  S.  Morgan,  who 
took  an  active  interest  in  all  the  social  and  political 
questions  of  the  time,  was  very  desirous  that  they 
lihould  be  reprinted  and  published  at  a  cheap  rate. 
As  be  had  some  acqnaint.\nco  with  Sydney  Smith, 
from  meeting  him  fre<iuentlT  at  Fishmongers' 
Hall,  he  ventured  to  write  to  him,  asking  him  if 
lie  bad  any  intention  to  republish  the  work,  and 
If  not  whether  be  would  object  to  any  one  cUe 
doing  so.  At  this  time  the  opinion  was  unirersnlly 
held  that  Sydney  Smith  was  the  author  otFlyniUy's 
Zetttrs, 

To  this  application  the  following  reply  was  re- 
ceived. I  copy  from  the  originiu  letter  itself, 
'which  oame  into  my  posseasion  at  the  death  of 
Sir.  Morgan  about  forty  years  ago: —

"I  beg  my  comp"  to  Mr.  Towm,  pray  ull  Ltm  the 
veatber  has  been  remarkably  mild  here.' 

The  letter  is    addressed  "B.  S.    Morgan,    Esq., 
Fishmongers'  Hall,  London  Bridtje,  London." 

In  1839  (or  really  in  183^.  although  the  title- 
lege  bears  the  imprint  of  1639,  according  to  a 
lommop  custom  of  pablishors)  Messrs.  Longman 


published  Tht  Works  of  the  Rtv.  Sijdmy  Smith, 
in  3  vols.,  8vo.,  and  in  the  author'a  preface,  to  bfl 
found  in  vol.  I,  pp.  vii  and  viii,  he  writes: — 

"  I  bare  printed  in  this  collection  the  Lettori  of  Peter 
Plymley.  The  OoTemment  u(  that  day  took  great  pains 
to  find  out  the  author.  All  thoy  could  find  was  that  they 
were  brouuht  to  Mr.  BudJ,  the  publiahsr,  by  the  Em 
of  Lauderdale.  Somehow  or  another  it  oame  to  be  con- 
jectured that  I  was  that  author ;  I  have  alwiiyi  denied 
it ;  but  fiuding  that  I  deny  it  in  T^n,  I  hare  thouiebt  it 
might  be  um  well  to  )nc1u(M  the  letters  iu  tUia  collection. 
They  had  an  immense  circulation  at  the  time,  and  I 
think  above  20,000  copies  were  sold." 

Now  I  have  often  heard  that  among  literary  men 
an  author  is  held  to  be  quite  justified  in  tienjing., 
the  auLhorahip  of  a  work  which,  for  any  reason, 
he  baa  thought  6t  to  publish  anonynionsly  or 
undcra  nom  d£ pluim ;  hat  even  admittiD;^  this, 
it  does  Boem  somewhat  startling  to  find  a  cler^y- 
QKin  of  high  character  and  great  fame  quietly  in- 
cluding in  his  acknowledged  works  a  production 
(however  popular  and  most  deservedly  so)  which 
less  thfin  two  years  before  he  had  so  stronj^ty  and 
very  epigmmmatically  stated  that  he  did  not  write  ; 
that  ho  had  no  copy  of  it ;  that  he  did  not  koow 
who  wrote  it.  Perhaps  ho  had  forgotten  this 
letter  to  my  father-in-law.  I  have  not  thought  it 
right  to  place  this  letter  before  the  public  until  I 
was  assured  there  was  no  one  living  whose  feelin( 
could  bo  hurt  by  it.  It  will,  I  think,  be  interest 
ing  to  some  of  your  readers,  John  Grbsv:

SH&KSPEABIANA. 
In  Riehard  IT.,  IIL  ii.,  are  to  be  read  the  fal- 
lowing fine  lines,  which  I  give  according  to  the 
variorum  edition  of  Reed  in  fifteen  volumes  : — 
"  K.  Rick,  Discomfortable  cousin,  knovr'Ai  thou  not 
TImt,  when  the  searching  eye  of  heaven  is  hid 
Pchind  the  glubc,  and  lights  the  lower  world, 
Then  thieTss  and  robbers  ramce  abroad  unseun 
In  murders,  and  in  outraf^e,  bloody  here ; 
But  whan,  from  under  tliis  terrestrial  ball, 
lie  fires  the  proud  tope  of  the  e.iirtem  pines, 
And  darts  his  light  througli  every  guilty  hale, 
Then  morderB,  treasons^  and  detested  sins. 
The  cloak  of  night  being  plucked  from  ofl' their  baclct, 
Utand  bare  and  n^ed  trembling  at  themsclres." 

The  word  bloody  in  the  fifth  line  is  an  emendation, 
firat  mode  in  the  second  quarto,  of  the  word 
6ou/dte  in  the  first  quarto.  Thia  reading  blood§^ 
has  been  adopted  by  the  three  following  quartos, 
all  the  folios,  and  nearly  all  modern  editors. 
Dyce,  however,  following  the  bint  of  Collier's 
Corrector,  substitutes  boldly.  Not  a  single  critic 
or  editor  adheres  to  the  reading  of  the  first  quarto, 
ho^ddit.  BouldUy  however,  as  it  is  the  first,  ao  ia 
it  the  right  reading,  being  the  word  used  some-j 
timee  in  the  sixteenth  century  to  express  whi 
was  subsequently  and  exclusively  represented  by 
boldly.  This  will  appear  by  the  following  quota-

U«mB  to  the  note  in  "  K.  &  Q.'*  of  May  12*  on  the 
same  theme.  Mr.  Reid  has  in  hia  poasession  the 
actaal "  aabscription  copy  of  the  fire-volume  quarto 
translation  of  the  Odyssey"  presented  to  the  clergy- 
man in  1732  by  the  poet.  It  was  to  this  work 
Canutbers  referred  in  his  2^/e.  In  one  of  the 
volumes  there  is  written  by  the  famous  translator, 
"Twickenham,  Jaly  6th,  1732.  Gift.— Alerr. 
Pope,  Esq.,  Poet-Laureat  of  England,  to  Alexr. 
Pope,  Dr.  of  Humanity  at  Dornoch."  In  two  of 
the  remaining  volumes,  in  the  poet's  handwriting 
also,  there  are  the  words  "  Ex  Dono  Alexri.  Pope, 
Armigeri.  July  6th,  1732.  Twickenham  id." 
The  volumes  are  in  perfect  condition,  with  the  list 
of  the  subscribers  of  836  copies,  taken  in  two, 
three,  four,  up  to  "  ten  setts."  There  are  many 
specimens  of  the  translation  extant,  but  it  might 
be  worth  the  attention  of  the  Trastees  of  the  British 
Museum  to  try  to  secure  for  the  nation,  not  only 
this  work,  but  the  translation  of  the  AbbiJ  do 
Vertot's  History  of  Uu  Roman  Republic,  to  which 
reference  was  made  in  the  note  mentioned  above. 
Carruthera  aays  that  Pope  of  Caithness  and  Suther- 
land dined  with  his  friend  and  Lord  Bolingbroke, 
and  he  gives  a  letter  in  full,  dated  "  Twickenham, 
April  28, 1738,"  and  addreaaed  to  "  Mr.  Alexander 
Pope,  at  Thurso,  in  the  county  of  Caithness,  North 
Britain."  In  the  appendix  to  one  of  the  editions 
of  hia  biography  there  is  a  letter  by  James  Camp- 
bell, Assistant  Commissary  -  General,  the  grand- 
son of  the  clergyman,  dated  "  Edinburgh,  April, 
1654,"  in  which  he  describes  a  snuff-box  presented 
by  the  poet  to  Campbeira  grandfather.  It  was 
then  in  the  possession  of  a  gentleman  in  Edinburgh, 
with  the  inscription,  "This  Box,  with  a  Copy  of 
his  Published  Works,  was  sent  by  Alexander 
Pope,  Esq.,  the  Poet,  to  the  Rev.  Alexander  Pope, 
minister  of  Reay,  Thurso.'*  A  written  note  accom- 
panied it, "  in  which,"  aays  Campbell,  "  he  claimed 
a  distant  Relationship  to  my  Grandfather  (on  my 
Alother's  aide)."  A  nephew  of  the  clergyman, 
William  Pope,  wrote  in  1R22  that  no  claim  of 
kindred  could  be  made,  but  it  is  quite  possible  he 
was  not  an  authority  in  genealogy.  These  details, 
however,  are  to  bo  found  in  cxtenso  in  the  Life^ 
and  are  mentioned  here  only  to  show  that  it  is  ex- 
tremely worth  while  to  accumulate  what  is  avail- 
able from  an  interesting  vein  in  the  poet's  brilliant 
life.  His  love  of  consanguinity  was  amply  shown 
by  hia  expreaa  statement  of  relationship  to  an 
English  lord  of  the  Pope  surname,  on  occasion  of 
his  social  depreciation  by  a  contemporary  member 
of  the  aristocracy.  It  may  be  added  that  the  quarto 
copy  of  the  translation  of  the  Odyssey  is  on  stout 
hand-made  paper,  and  was  published  by  Bernard 
Lintot,  London,  whose  guarantee  from  Qeorgius 
Bmx  waa  that  he  had  monopoly  of  sale  for  fourteen 
TMtn.   It  is  chiefly  for  the  autographic  writing  that 


[*  8c«aiito,p.3N.] 


the  northern  handsome  copy  would  be  a  TalnaUa 
addition  to  any  colleotion  of  Pope  literature  io  a 
public  library,  and  most  of  all  the  National  Library.

"  Princis  Square,  1736."  —  Another  dated 
London  house  of  the  lost  century  has  just  bees 
pulled  down,  and  aa  it  waa  in  an  out-of-the-war 
position,  and  the  name  of  the  place  has  disappeared 
with  it,  it  may  be  as  well  to  make  a  note  of  it 
Running  parallel  with  Holborn  on  the  south  side^ 
between  Little  Queen  Street  and  New  Tumstile, 
is  a  narrow  street,  which  until  recently  was 
known  as  Princes  Street.  About  midway,  on  the 
south  side  of  this  street,  is  a  small  yard,  aboat 
20  feet  by  25  feet  square.  A  large  warehooie 
occupies  the  east  and  aouth  aidea  of  the' yard, 
and  on  the  weat  waa  the  houae  in  qaeatioa, 
bearing  the  following  inscription,  on  a  atone  let 
into  the  front  wall:  "  Princia  Square  1736."  It 
waa  probably  the  only  aquare  in  London  with  onlj 
one  house  in  it. 

It  would  be  well  if  some  of  your  correspondenb 
would  make  a  note  of  all  similar  inscriptioni  in 
their  own  localities  and  send  them  to  you.  Hen 
are  two  more,  from  the  same  neighbourhood  aa  ths 
above.  On  a  stone  in  the  east  wall  of  Hamley*! 
toy-shop,  comer  of  New  Turnstile,  "mkw  tvr5

above  the  key-stone  of  the  arch  leading  from 
Lincoln's  Inn  Fields  to  Sardinia  Street,  "Dpki 
Streete  1648."  There  is  a  similar  atone  and  ifi' 
acription  on  the  weat  aide  of  the  aroh.

from  Paris,  dated  April  22 : — 

"At  the  Cotes-du-Nord  Assizes  five  dava  have  beea 
occupied  with  a  myateriouB  ca^e  of  murder,  throwiiic 
some  lif^ht  on  Breton  superstitious.  One  morning  lu(

the  previous  day,  had  »Iept  in  the  barn,  in  order  to fuaid 
the  com  from  thieTei,  and  had  evidently  been  strangled 
in  hia  eleep,  and  hung  up  when  dead.  Hia  mouth  wai 
gagged  with  a  handkerchief  and  his  arms  extended,  ai 
though  crucified,  hy  a  stick  which  wue  placed  in  the  eoot-

about  to  marry,  and  was  |)opular  in  the  village,  except 
with  hti  sister  and  her  husbiind,  Marguerite  and  Ym 
Guiilou.  They  had  for  three  years  borne  a  grudgt 
against  him,  because,  on  his  father's  death,  he  hadewon 
to  a  debt  of  150  fr.,  which  they  had  been  obli^d  to  pay. 
They  maintained  that  they  had  nut  left  the  tsTern  kept

certified  by  the  Boar-Brief  of  1630,  under  the 
Boyal  Seal  of  Scotland,  now  in  the  custody  of 
My  Wd  Elfingston."  This  genealogy  appears 
from  internal  evidence  to  have  been  compiled 
about  1C90,  ftnd  Mr.  Malcolm  Laing  in  forward- 
ing the  copy  to  Mr.  Ker  mentions  the  fact  of  his 
being  descended  from  an  Klphinstone  in  Orkney.

THB    RIVER    NAME    ISIS. 
(6**S.  vi.  409;  yil  166.) 

Kotwithstaoding  tiAvr  KossET.L'a  amy  of 
authorities,  I  am  by  do  meaos  disposed  to  think 
thnt  the  (|uestion  ns  to  the  nnines  Thames  and  Isia 
hoi  been  settled.  What  we  want  in  the  case  is 
the  pottitive  evidence  of  fact|  not  the  evidence  of 
chroniclera  and  antiquariea  who  had  a  theory,  or 
of  Oxford  scholars  viho  wrote  epithalamia,  but  of 
plain  men  and  women  who  have  lived  and  died  on 
ihe  banks  of  the  river,  and  called  it  as  their 
fathers  taught  them.  Is  any  such  testimony 
forthcouiiug  from  ancient  men  of  Glooceaterahire, 
Oxfordahlre,  and  Berkshire  above  Oxford,  that 
they  called  their  river  the  Use,  or  the  Ise,  or  the 
Isis,  or  anythinf^  except  Thames  ? 

But  let  us  look  at  the  evidence  which  Ladt 
BcssELL  brings  together.  First,  Htgden,  the 
most  valuable  of  alT,  partly  as  the  oldest,  and 
partly  also  because,  if  I  read  him  aright,  his 
facta  are  directly  at  issue  with  bis  theory.  He 
holds  that  the  Thames  boa  got  the  first  half  of  its 
name  from  the  Thame.  I  know  not  whether  be 
atarted  the  theory,  or  merely  promoted  it.  But 
perhaps  we  may  see  some  reason  why  be  should 
uaiDtaia  it  The  monk  of  Chester  would  feel  a 
reverence  for  the  venerable  city  of  Dorchester,  an 
ancient  episcopal  see.  And  in  his  eyes  the  great- 
ness of  the  city  might  ennoble  the  river  which 
flows  under  it4  abbey  walla.*  But  see  what  he 
records,  as  matter  of  fact,  "Thence  the  whole 
river,"  not  from  its  conflaence  with  the  Thame, 
but  "  from  its  own  rising,"  d  mo  exortu,  is  called 
•'  Thamisift."  Let  me  add  his  following  words, 
"Nemjpe  juxta  Tettebnry  nascitur  Thamisio,  Ac," 
with  Trevisu's  transUtion,  "AI  the  ryuere  from 
the  first  heede  anon  to  the  est  see  hatte  Temse. 
Tem«e  bygynneth  bvsidea  Tettebury." 

Stow  and  Speed,  if  they  had  Higden  before 
them,  most  have  seen  that  his  statement  proves 
too  much.  They  tell  us  that  after  the  confluence 
of  Thame  and  Iso,  and  only  then,  the  river  bears 
the  name  of  Thames,  in  direct  contradiction  to

called 


I 


the  testimony  of  Higden,  who  says  tt  is 
Thames  from  its  source  to  its  moutK. 

Holinshed  may  very  well    be    ranged    OD 
side  of  Higden,     His  evidence  is  amusing  enou, 
If  our  theory  be  riRht,  folk  above  Oxfora  oii^, 
cnU  ibeir  river  by  the  name  of  Oiise  or  Inis 
80  ignorant  are  they  and  pigheaded,  that,  in 
very  teeth  of  our  theory. "  dyuers  "  persist  in  callinif 
it  Th.imes,  "of  a  foolish  castome, "  ».«.,  as  their 
fathers  did  before  them. 

May  I  now  say  a  few  words  against  the  Thame- 
Isis  theory?  1.  Can  any  other  case  be  alleged 
where  a  confluence  of  streami  has  induced  a  eon- 
fiucnci  of  nanus  f  T  can  think  of  none  wch  ;  nor 
do  I  find  any  in  looking  through  Mr.  R.  Fer- 
guson's RivtT'Nam^  of  Evroijt.  The  Rhine, 
for  instance,  is  always  Khine ;  Vorder-Kbein,  in 
deed,  and  Hinler-Khein  ;  but  never  Anr-Kbe 
or  Neckar-Rb(?in,  or  Mosel-Rhein.  Indeed,  s 
a  welding  of  two  names  into  a  mere  "geogrnph 
expression,"  seems  opposed  to  that  reverent 
tudo  in  which  each  people  has  ever  regarded  _ 
own  groat  river ;  a  stately  individnalj  always  the 
same,  while  absorbing  smaller  personalities  in  his 
course.  "*  That's  the  Forth,'  said  the  Bailie  with 
an  air  of  reverence  which  I  have  observed  Lh« 
Scotch  usually  pay  to  their  distinguished  riven.* 
And  not  only  the  Scotch.  But  one  might  sordj 
reckon  such  n  spirit  to  be  dead  if  one  heud 
giving  to  the  lower  Forth  t^uch  a  name  aa  Ti 
Forth.  And  in  connexion  hcrowitb,  let  it  be 
in  mind  that  the  name  of  Thamoa  h  older  than 
JuliuR  CiBsar,  to  whom  we  owe  its  Latio  form, 
Thamesis.  So  that  we  must  go  back  to  •  dntMSt

confluence  of  Isis  and  Thame,  is,  indeed,  ItUk 
better  than  an  impertinence,  as  any  one  may  tee 
who  will  go  thither  and  took.  The  river  Tbame 
is  n  trumpery  little  stream,  bringing  down,  as  I 
should  judge,  scarcely  more  than  half  the  wat«r  of 
the  CherwelL  That^  ]:>altry  a  brook  should  bare 
given  the  better  half  of  its  name  to  our  nobb 
river  could  only  be  justified  by  some  history  as 
noble  afi  that  of  lUfisus  or  the  ancient  Kishon,  luid 
such  a  history,  of  course,  there  may  have 
but  if  so,  it  is  lost  in  times  which  to  ub  are 
historic

not  exactly  what  it  claims.  It  may  h«  thou, 
to  prove  that  the  upper  river  was  soraetiroea 
Ouse  as  well  aa  Thames  ;  and,  aaaumiog  tbu 
means  water,  we  may  very  well  oompare  our 
uiodem  usage.  We  also  have  a  solomo  and 
familiar  name  for  it.  If  an  Oxford  BMUi  «««

'Wooden  tombs  are,  from  their  very  nature,  among 
tbo  rarest  of  things :  at  the  present  moment  I  can 
only  recall  that  of  Wilham  de  Valence  at  Weat- 
niin^ter,  a  mere  vehicle  for  enamelled  plates  ;  the 
remains  of  one  at  All  Saints,  Derby ;  and  a  re- 
inarkable  example  in  ThomhiU  Church,  York- 
shire, sustaining  efligie^  and  bearing  the  curiot^ 
inscription    begmning,  "Bonya  emong  stooyi  lie 

tore  ful  styl." 
Many  yean  ago  I  measured  and  drew  to  scale, 
D  the  spot^  the  two  wooden  effigies  in  the  choicb 
of  Weaton  under  Lyzard.  They  were  then  charged 
id  dishonoured  with  many  coats  of  paint,  and,  &o 
as  my  recollection  bevie&  me,  for  I  have  not 
ly  drawings  at  band,  both  fignren  are  shown  in 
le  usual  military  costume  of  the  last  quarter  of 
le  thirteenth  century,  viz.,  in  hood,  haaberk, 
ircote,  and  chaussea,  and  with  the  vword'-belt 
rorn  in  the  nsual  position  at  that  period,  namely, 
klling  in  front  from  the  waist.  J.  B.  Z,  A.  has 
)parently  misttiken  the  giguc  of  the  shield  for 
le  Bword-beit  of  one  of  the  fiinire?.  The  whole 
Ityle  and  characteristics  of  both  effigies  are  dia- 
'  tctly  of  a  late,  snd  not  of  ftn  early  faafaioa  in 
particular  phase  of  military  equipment. 
From  the  nature  of  the  material,  wooden  effigies 
sldom  have  much  of  the  delicate  tinieh  thitt  stone 
[ampleB  r,ometime8  present,  though  certainly 
lis  stubborn  material  is  occasionally  treated  in  a 
lost  ^ee  and  masterly  way;  for  instance,  in  the 
^Autiful  6gure  of  George  d«  Gantelnpe,*  died 
1573,  among  the  Taluable  series  of  effigies  in  the

■nerally  applied  through  the  medinm  of  stamped 
IM,  or  painted  details  and  decorations.  The

differiDfi;  from  Mb.  Lfslie  SxRrnEy,  but  T  cannot 
n^ree  with  his  opinion  about  ftnUiphcr  DeciipliKiW. 
The  attnck  on  Swift  and  ArlmtliDot  uppenrtj  to  me 
as  simply  intomlcd  to  niy^itify.  The  }<tUe,  tiio 
luethod  of  reiisoDiD^',  the  allusion  to  Unrtl,'^'  and 
many  of  the  illustrations  used  by  the  writer  hare 
always  couviuced  me  that  it  is  from  the  pen  of 
Arbuthnot,  and  a  recent  very  careful  examination 
of  the  pamphlet  induces  me  to  think  that  Swift 
had  also  a  bund  in  it. 

John  Bull  is  described  on  the  tiile-paijc  as  "  by 
the  author  oHheKcw  AlnUmti*y^  though  we  know 
beyond  a  doubt  that  it  was  by  Arbulhnot.  But 
at  the  very  time  Arbnthnot  was  trying  to  make 
the  public  believe  that  Mr.^.  Manley  was  the  author 
of  his  satire,  and  when  Swift  was  employinjj  her 
to  write  political  p;tn)phlcts,  many  of  which  he 
corrected  himself,  a  balhid,  Covinna^  was  published 
in  which  the  unfortunate  lady  was  the  subject  of 
▼ery  coarse  abuse,  and  this  balhd  was  written  by 
Swift  and  Arbuthnot,  whose  object  w.-is  doubtless 
to  throw  dust  in  the  eyes  of  the  public. 

It  may  be  worth  while  to  mention  a  very 
humorous  pamphlet,  A  Vi'opoml  io  Publhh  a 
Work  on  ike  Art  vf  Folitictil  Ltfing^  which  thon;»h 
not  in  the  MiactllantoHs  Works  is  uudoubledly 
by  Arbuthnot.  Swift  mentions  the  fact  to  Stella 
and  recommends  her  to  read  it. 

In  another  part  of  the  Journal  to  i^ieUa  Swift 
mentions  a  pretended  proposal  to  publish  a 
"  History  of  the  Maids  of  Honour  from  the  Days 
of  Henry  VIII.,"  which  he  says  was  an  idea  of 
Arbuthnot's.  But  the  hoax  was  not  favourably 
received  and  was  soon  fjiven  up.  I  remember 
seeing  among  Martha  Blount's  papers  at  Muple- 
durham  some  letters  from  Arbuthuot,  but  I  think 
they  were  from  George  Arbuthnot.  F.  G. 

Annk  Bolktn  (e**"  S.  vii.  428).— All  that 
scandal  could  bear  or  malice  could  invent  against 
the  unfortimate  mother  of  (^iieen  Elizabeth  was 
carefully  collected  by  Dr.  Nicholas  Sanders,  or 
Saunders,  in  his  book  I)e  Origins  ti  Vrogrtuu 
Sehiimatis  Anglicani,  1085,  of  which  liiahop 
Burnet  says:  "In  fine,  that  she  was  ugly,  mis- 
shaped, and  monstrous,  are  such  an  heap  of 
impudent  Lyes  that  none  but  a  Fool  as  well  as  a 
Knave,  would  venture  on  such  a  recital"  {Hist. 
Ref.y  1681,  i.  appendix,  278).  It  is,  however,  as 
Miss  Benger  says  in  her  Memoir  fif  Anne  Boltyn, 
i.  211,  "notorious  that  on  one  of  her  Ungers  was 
a  supplemental  nail."  The  most  distinct  account 
of  thii*  is  probably  that  given  by  her  early  admirer 
Sir  Thomas  Wyalt,  whose  M.S.  notes  on  bcr  life 
were  privately  printed  in  1817,  and  reproduced 
by  Singer  in  his  edition  of  Cavendish's  Lift  of 
Cardinal  Wohajt  1825,  ii.  179:— 

"  Tfaere  wai  found  indeed  upon  the  side  of  her  nul

Edward  Sollt. 
SuttoHj  Surrey. 

English  Cnuncn  IIrraldrt  (G**"  S.  vii.  149, 
41G). — For  some  long  time  past  I  havo  been  visit- 
ing the  chnrchea  of  my  native  county,  and  taking 
cciptes  of  the  heraldic  iwhicvcments  on  the  monu- 
ments and  marbles  in  which  they  abound.  I 
fully  endorse  Mk.  Buwer's  opinion  that  iiieasnrea 
ou^ht  at  once  to  be  taken  to  secure  accounts  cf 
tlioiii  for  the  use  of  future  historians,  ere,  fmm 
various  causes,  many  of  them  be  for  ever  lo&t 
Even  now,  when  we  mij^ht  have  supposed  that 
such  thin^  would  bo  alnioi>t  held  sacred  by  those 
who  have  the  puardiansbip  of  them,  I  codM 
point  to  many  instances  where  that  guardianship 
has  been  in  some  cases  shamefully,  in  others  care- 
lessly abused.  Not  long  since  a  small  church  was 
restored,  the  resting-place  of  a  family  who  bsd 
lived  in  the  parish  for  three  centuries.  Some  of 
the  marbles  which  covered  the  spots  where  their 
bodies  reposed  were  cut  in  pieces  to  fit  whatever 

rrtion  of  the  building  needed  pavement,  to  tare, 
presume,  the  expense  of  tiles,  and  this  wu 
with  the  consent  of  him  who  inherited  the  pro- 
perty, though  he  did  not  bear  the  name.  Is 
another  and  a  larger  church,  in  which  the  monu- 
ments arc  numerous  and  to  several  familiei 
most  deeply  interesting,  hot  water  and  soap  wer» 
used  for  cleaning  them,  the  effect  on  the  shields 
and  even  on  the  lettering  being,  |)erhap^,  more 
easily  imagined  than  described.  Many,  too,  are 
the  marbles,  of  which  no  record  has  been  tuken, 
which  during  tlie  last  twenty  years  have  been 
covered  up  by  organs  and  chancel  pews,and  of  which, 
I  suppose,  it  will  be  hopeless  ever  to  expect  to  get 
a  record  now.  As  far  as  Norfolk  is  concerned, 
I  cannot  say  I  agree  with  Mr.  Bower  that  **  a  list 
might  be  composed  to  a  considerable  extent  from 
our  large  county  histories."  Blomefield  is  most 
untrustworthy,  leaving  out,  in  his  account  of  some 
churches,  monuments  and  marbles  which  he  ought 
to  have  described,  and  describing  others  most 
inaccurately,  I  think  the  work,  to  be  done  well, 
must  be  done  from  the  beginning,  and  I  see  no 
hope  whatever  for  it  but  in  the  various  archaeo- 
logical £Ocieties.  E.  F. 

The  mention  of  this  subject  reminds  me  of  s 
visit  paid  to  the  east  coast  of  Norfolk  in  the 
autumn  of  1880,  during  which  not  only  was  I 
struck  with  the  great  size  of  the  vilbffe  cfanicbMi 
but  with  the  immense  amoant  of  heraldic  betrings 
incised  on  the  ikbft  in  their  paremont    TbSj

find  one  method  of  impaling  the  arms  of  two  wives 
u  common  as  the  other — neither  can  be  considered 
good  heraldry,  and  it  is  always  better  to  give 
separate  shields  to  show  each  m.-irriage.  In  my 
collection  of  book-plfttea  I  find  these  instances  of 
three  coats  in  pnte,  and  one  of  a  husband  of  three

Notes  made  by  me  some  years  ofio,  princijmlly 
from  p.  256  of  Whitaker's  Uulory  o/  WhaUnj 
(third  edit.,  1818),  show  that  Sir  Thomi«  Beau- 
mont, Knt.,  some  time  governor  of  Sheffield  Castle, 
bore  the  nmu  of  bis  two  wives  dexter  and  sinister 
of  his  own.  He  wa-^  son  of  Kichard  ami  Anne 
Beaumont,  uf  Lascellea  Hall,  being  bapti/od  iib 
Mirfield  Jan.  2C,  1C(»5  6,  and  buried  at  Kirk- 
beaton  June  3,  1G68,  having  inherited  the  Whitley 
estate  from  Sir  Richard  Beaumont,  B:trt.,  who 
died  unmarried,  and  whoso  will  waa  proved  at 
York  Oct.  5,  1631,  Sir  Thomas  Beaumont  married 
first  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Gregory  Aruiyt.ige, 
his  second  wife  being  Mary,  widow  of  Richard 
PilkingtoQ  and  daughter  of  George  Biirdet;  and 
his  arms  (from  the  original  portrait  at  Whitley 
Hall,  near  Huddersfield)  show  a  shield  paly  of 
three:  (1)  Gules,  a  lyon'a  head  erased  between 
three  cross-crosslets  argent,  for  Armytage  ;  (2) 
Gules,  a  lyon  rampant  within  an  orle  of  crescents 
argent,  for  Beatimont;  and  (3}  Paly  of  six  argent 
and  sablo  on  a  bend  gules,  three  martlets  or,  for 
Burdet,  of  Denby,  co.  York.         Jamm  SrKES. 

In  n  window  in  Cheddar  Church,  Somerset,  are 
the  following  arms  (date  probably  between  \t>(M,\ 
nnd  ICOTf):  Az,  a  stag  lodged  or.,  for  Rooe,  lord 
of  the  manor  of  Cheddar  FitzWalters,  impaling 
on  the  dexter  side,  Gu.,  a  chevron  crm.  between 
three  nettle-leaves,  for  Malherbe  ;  and  on  the 
sinister,  Ar.,  a  chev.  sa.  between  three  torteaux 
(query  Courteuay).  Another  instance  occurs  in 
Axbridge  Church,  Somerset,  on  &  inonuroenfc 
erected  in  1712  to  John  Prowse,  Esq.,  where  the 
arms  are  given  iw  quarterly,  1  and  4,  Sa.,  three

the  sinititer,  (Jyronny  of  eight  or  and  crm.,  a  cnstlo 
triple- towered  sa,  (Hooper),  for  second  wife.  This 
mode  of  marshalling  the  arms  of  two  as  well  as 
a  greater  number  of  wives  appears  to  have  been 
fully  recognized  by  the  beralds  of  former  days,

The  method  of  impalement  mentioned  by  Mr. 
Wklls  seemi  to  be  very  nncommon.  I  havo  only 
met  with  three  instances,  two  of  vbich  are  in  St. 
Clement's  Church,  Norwicbf  nod  one  on  a  marble 
in  Hinpham  Church,  Norfolk.  If  Mr.  Wells 
cnres  to  bare  it,  I  shall  be  pleased  to  send  him  a

SiGW  (6**»  S.  vii.  402).— Sir  J.  A.  Picroy,  in 
diBcussing  the  etymologies  of  siyn  and  tml,  has 
mode  at  least  one  very  extraordinary  mistake.  I 
con  only  discuss  the  former  wurd  at  present, 

Uo  tells  us  that  Fick  connects  the  word  ti^ittm 
with  the  G.  zeichen.  But  Fick  does  nothing  of 
the  sort.  Ho  merely  iiitntlale*  one  word  by  the 
other,  and  distinctly  snvs  that  the  lAt.  Bupiwn  is 
from  the  root  sak^  and  is  allied  to  G.  eagen  and 
£.  lay.  I  take  the  same  view  ;  see  root  No.  370 
in  my  list.  Of  course  rignHm  lias  nothing  what- 
ever in  common  with  token  or  6.  scichetij  from  the 
root  dikt  No.  145.  No  instance  is  extnnt  in 
which  a  Latin  «  corresponds  to  an  English  initini  t. 
Gabelentz  must  have  been  dozing  if  ever  he  ilreiimt 
of  such  a  thing.  The  Lat.  ^I'^iure  is  nothing  to 
the  purpose,  being  a  mere  derivative  of  tignum 
itielf.  Most  verbs  in  -are  are  mere  derivatives— a 
simple  nile. 

Again,  we  are  told  that  n^  only  occurs,  earlier 
than  Chaucer,  *'in  a  pa.wage  ol  I*ier$  PlmoniaH^ 
of  which  the  meaning  is  doubtful."  I  am  quite 
at  a  loss  to  know  what  this  wonderful  passage  can 
be.  The  word  oocuni  tUvtn  iimea  in  Pieri  the 
Fhttmmn  and  Bichard  tA«  Hedtlts  (by  the  same 
aatbor) ;  in  every  passage  the  sense  is  perfectly 
clear.  My  glossary  to  Pieri  Plovinnan  is  aliU 
nnpubliabed;  that  ia  all  that  is  the  matter.  I 
do  not  know  why  ray  reference  to  Ancren  fSiWe, 
p.  70  (a.d.  1S(X>),  is  ignored.  Besides,  tigne  is 
a  very  old  word  in  Anglo-French,  for  it  occurs  in 
Gaimar's  CltrojiicUf  1. 1437,  about  a.d.  1160.  And 
in  French  it  occurs  in  almost  the  earliest  known 
specimen  of  the  language,  viz.,  in  La  Patnon  dti 
Vfiristj  of  the  (tntft.  century;  see  glossary  to  Bartsch, 
Chriitomathu  Fran^ise.  I  will  treat  of  the  word 
ttal  on  another  occasion,  merely  remarking  that  I 
oannot  well  accept,  on  the  strength  of  what  Fick 
does  not  say,  such  an  impoisible  notion  as  that 
of  oooaecting  Hgnum  with  dic<re  or  dicare.

St.  Ahmtl  (e*  S.  vii.  200).— This  is  perhaps 
an  alitu  for  St.  Arnold,  or  St.  Anioul.  A  Wor-

13  Elix.,  mentions  Arnold  Grene  ia  being  then  a

To  Mr,  Maskell's  query  aa  to  St.  Armyl  I 
make  the  anmll  contribution  that  Caoon  Stal 
in  Append.  B.  of  Conncilt  and  EcKif$uuii 
DocnynmUf  by  Haddan  and  Stubbs  (vol.  ii. 
p.  88,  Ox.,  1873)  states  that  there  is  a  notic 
"  S.  Armel  or  Arzel,  a  Welsh  hermit  near 
in  the  time  of  Childebert,  in  he  Grand, 
August  16."  In  the  supplement  to  the  Mtfiiortai 
of  Ancient  British  Pitty  ;  or,  a  British  Marhfrth 
togy^  p.  22,  Lond.,  1761,  there  is  :— 

"  Aupiit  1.*;.  Id  Little  TtriUin.  the  fesiK  of  a  Ai

I  have  not  by  me  the  previonsnote  (an/e,  pk 
to  see  how  far  this  suits  the  query,  and  merely 
offer  the  above  references  in  ilIostratioQ  of  the

Underneath  are  the  initiiiU  and  clothmnrk  of 
John  Eylea.  I  should  be  very  glad  nf  :*nv  ch 
to  his  family.  Was  he  in  any  way  cci 
the  Sir  John  Eylea  and  Fraooia 
mentioned  by  Strix  t  Le  Neve's  KmghU  hJif 
some  alight  reference  to  them,  and  the  ni^ut* 
appears  to  belong  to  Olonccstershiro  and 
shire,  where  it  may  still  be  found.  The 
registers,  which  do  not  begin  till  1668,  have  HO 
reference  to  John  Eyies — not  eren  the  entry  of 
bis  burial — nor  to  any  other  person  of  the  Dame, 
He  was  certainly  living  at  Wrcsden  in  1666,  %ad 
seems  to  have  devised  that  property  to  his  Dephev, 
Michael  Bayly,  afterwards  Mayor  of  GlouceaUt ; 
but  beyond  the  above,  and  the  fact  that  be  was 
married  before  168-1,  I  hare  as  yet  been  unable  to 
leam  anything  about  his  family.

at  p.  08  :— 

"  Proca  the  fact  of  it§  being  the  enntre  of  (he  bftrony, 
Skipton  waa  ft  place  of  importance.     U  ii  a  noteworthy 
oiroumstanee  that  in  old  oharten  and  deeds  Skipton  if 
Invariably  spoken  of  ai  a  burgh  or  borough.    In  pro- 
oeodittg*  lit  heet  Courts  hold  in    last    century  it  is  so 
called.     Yet  the  town  had  never  a  tuunictpti  govem- 
ment,  nor  did  it  ever  return  a  repreientatire  to  Parlia- 
ment.    In  early  tiraei  Skipton  wai  ^roTerned  by  reeves  or 
hAitiflTi,  who  held  the  name  of  burgfa-reerea.. ....These 

officiaU  were  appointed  half-yearly,  and  ilurinff  each 
term  of  office  nine  courts,  called  '  burjEh-cortys  wero 
held.  The  finei  accruing  to  these  courts  wore  the  right 
of  the  lord." 

In  a  foot-note  he  says  : — 

"In  like  manner  DoJawnrtU.  who  vlilted  Morton  In 
1621,  says  of  ttiat  place. '  HctL-  hath  been  a  mercate  and 

borough  town,"  hy  which  he  would  maan  that  fonnerhr, 
being  at  at  Kkipton  under  the  protection  of  a  caitlo,  (ho 
rnhabitanta  were  styled  lurgtitut,  not  that  the  town  had 
been  incorporoted." 

Cowel  defines  burgage  as  "a  Tenure  pn^per  to 
Cities,  Borows,  and  Towns,  whereby  the  Burftert, 
Citizens,  or  Townsmenj  bold  their  Lands  or  Tene- 
ments of  the  King,  or  other  Lord,  fur  a  certain 
yearly  Rent."  F.  C.  Birkbeck  Terht. 

Allen,  in  hia  HUtofy  of  YorkiMm  (vol.  ill* 

p.  334),  says  : — 

"  Robert  de  Romellfc.  one  of  the  followers  of  the  Con. 
queror.  built  8kipton  Cutle.  The  erection  of  this 
baronial  residence  elerated  Bklpton  from  a  vitiligo  to  a 
town,  but  it  never  bad  a  municipal  gavommeot>  nor  was 
it  ever  represented  in  Parliament." 

From  the  definition  of  burgh  given  in  Cowel's  Ltiw 
Didionart/t  it  would  seem  that  a  town  might  bare 
been  a  burgh  though  it  had  neither  a  parlia- 
mentary nor  a  municipal  franchise.   G.  Fisher,

Old  OtocKa  (G*"^  S.  vii.  16.1,  237,  257,  371,

information  a«i  to  the  time  when  '^  John  Toppin, 
London,"  clockmakcr,  Jired,  or  the  probable  ajse

I  cjime  into  poeaeMion  sixty  yeare  a^o  of  jkn  eij;bt- 
day  clock  of  his,  of  considerable  nge  then  and  clever 
make,  but  vritbout  date.  It  h  la  nn  oak  or  iralnut 
oa«e,  nine  feet  high,  wiib  braw  Saq*  aikered,  en- 


graved, and  lacquered,  with  ornamental  oaatoomen 
and  side  pilUrs,  dial-plate,  or  circle,  eleven  incbos, 
showing  the  hours  and  minutes,  and  intermediata 
circle,  carried  by  the  going  of  the  clock,  to  show 
the  month  of  the  year,  the  day  of  the  month,  and 
how  much  faster  or  slower  the  clock  varies  accord- 
ing to  apparent  time.  In  the  arch  of  the  face  ii 
a  circle,  five  inches  in  diameter,  indicating  the 
seconds ;  also  two  smaller  circles,  one  r«gaIattDg 
the  time,  and  the  other,  in  case  of  sickneM  pro- 
bably, to  prevent  the  clock's  striking.  It  keeps 
excellent  time,  and  the  clock-maker  who  attends 
to  it  assures  me  that  in  six  months  it  would  not 
vary  five  minutes.  It  has  a  pendulum  with  reooil 
escapement.  W.  Dilkk. 

Oiichester, 

William  Barrow,  the  maker  of  Mr,  Wm.  N. 
Frasbr's  clock,  was  admitted  a  member  of  the 
Glockmakers'  Company  of  London  in  17()9,  which 
is  most  probably  about  the  date  of  the  clock,  when 
Chinese  and  Japan  lacquer  work  was  used  in 
the  ornamentation  of  clock  cases.

Lows  Fauily  of  DBRBTsniRB  (6*^^  S.  Ti.  1S7; 
vii.  121,  414). — I  must  own  I  am  unable  to  follow 
SioMA  in  his  incapability  of  grasping  Mr.  Grus- 
street's  arguments.  Uniloubtedly  Sir  Bernard 
Burke  quotes  on  p.  091,  sixth  edition,  an  abstract 
of  a  charter  in  the  AVolley  collection,  wbicH  bi 
misquotes  in  that  he  says  one  Peter  del  Lowe 
was  father  of  Thomas,  William,  and  Laurence  dd 
Lowe,  all  appearing  in  the  above  charter,  dated 
Sept;  1, 1473.  If  SifiMA  will  read  Mr.  Vincjcst's 
note  on  this  matter  {C^»  S.  vt.  127)  I  think  he  will 
be  convinced.  Mr.  Drury  Lowe's  descent  from 
the  Lowes  of  Maccleatield  is  undoubted.  Major 
Lawson  Lowe's  descent  has  yet  to  be  proved.  Why 
does  Sir  Bernard  Burke  append  the  history  of  the 
family  of  the  Lowes  of  Locko  to  that  of  the  Liwci 
of  lligbfield  ?  Alfred  Scott  Gatxt. 

1.  The  charter  from  the  Wolley  MSS.  alluded  to 
by  Sir  Bernard  Burke  (on  p.  991,  sixth  edition, 
not  090)  J3  that  dated  Sept.  1,  1473.  From  a  copy 
I  have  of  Wolley'd  abstract  I  find  that  the  Perus 
(tic)  Lallowo,  Thomas  of  y*  Lowe,  William  of  the 
Lowe,  and  Laurence  Lallowe,  witnesses  to  the 
fame,  are  not  therein  declared  to  be  related  in  any 
decree,  whereas  Sir  Bernard  In  quoting  it  a^serti 
the  three,  Thomas,  AVilUam,  and  Laurence,  to  be 
hrotkerSf  and  sons  of  Peter. 

2.  I  have  little  doubt  but  that  in  every  c.?anty 
of  England  there  may  be  ancient  stock  of  the 
name  of  Low;  what  I  do  contend  is  that  the 
only  family  of  the  name  of  real  eminence  did  not 
originate  in  Cheshire.

The  Haigs  of  Bemerstde  (6'^  S.  vii,  102, 153, 
194,  231,  275,  297,  313).— In  my  former  letter 
(anttf  p.  297)  I  merely  remarked  on  the  word  r«cfr*J 
as  applied  by  Inquirer  to  the  claioi  of  the  Clack- 
mannanshire Haigs  to  be  Haij;^  of  Bemersyde. 
By  his  silence  Inquirbr  may  be  satisRed  or  not, 
but  upon  the  sole  question  which  be  raiaes— viz., 
the  identity  of  Robert  Haig  of  Tlirosk,  my  ances- 
tor, with  Robert  Haig,  the  disinherited  heir  of 
James  Haig  of  Bemersyde—I  limpIy  wish  to  pat 
Inquirer's  queiy  in  this  form.  Tiie  then  Burl  of 
Mar  was  indubitably  the  stanch  friend  of  James 
Haig,  seventeenth  Laird  of  Bemersjde,  and  wtia 
appealed  to  by  him  when  char^red  with  treason  in 
1616.  The  query  is,  Had  this  Earl  of  Mar  two 
friends  or  acquaintances  of  the  nnme  of  Robert 
Haig,  of  or  about  the  same  age  and  at  or  about  the 
same  time,  and  did  he  give  his  farm  of  Throak,  on 
bis  Stirlingshire  estate,  nearly  oppoaito  hU  own 
residence  at  Alloa  House,  not  to  the  diqinbertted 
Bon  of  his  old  friend  James  Haig,  but  to  some 
other  Robert  Haig  (evolved  out  of  the  inventive 
conflcionnness  of  Inquirer),  the  de^ccndiints  of 
which  Robert  Haig  have  ever  Rince»  by  family

reRpectiLDi^  the  Zoucti  beacon  tower  at  Wokioff. 
But  I  must  ba  allowed  to  paint  ovit  that  hs  ia  io 
error  in  saying  that  I  was  wmn^  in  apeiiking  of 
Stoke  Church,  noar  Guildford.  I  am,  in  fnct,  03 
Bure  of  ita  existence  (and  on  the  aame  ground  a)  aa

"  or  one  thtn;r  I  'm  lUre,  th&t  At  8boiiflmiiir 
A  battle  there  woa,  wbicli  I  saw,  uiaa." 

Indeedi  the  church  at  Stoke  dates,  I  believe,  from 
the  serenteenth  century,  so  that  it  seems  some- 
what Btrange  that  Ala.  Epwards  (thoiiy[)ii  he  left 
Guildford  so  lon^  ago,  tho  year,  in  fact,  before  I 
was  horn)  sboutd  bare  forgotten  it.  T^o  years 
AVP  the  brother  officers  of  Sir  George  Pouicroy

the  local  traditions  mentioned  by  Mr.  E&WAnni, 
which  neem  to  reprenent  Zouoh  as  a  monster  of 
iniquity.  All  I  could  find  recorded  of  fail  charac-

E^olomon  descended  to  frivolity  and  loosenest, 
ZoDch  was  frequently  bis  companion  and  host 
But  it  ia  certainly  remarkable  bow  the  memory 
of  men's  evil  deeds  does  frequently  linger  in  thi 
localities  where  they  took  place  ;  as  an  illustra- 
tion of  which  I  may  mention  that  I  was  once  in- 
formed that  a  man  travelling  some  time  ago  in  ths

NOTES  ON  BOOKS,  &c. 
Jliblioarcphit  den  Billioffi-aphiet.    Par  L6on  Vallee,  de 

la  BibliothL-'iuo  Natlnnalo.  (Paris,  Terquem.) 
TiiK  fnormoui  extent  to  which  tbe  literature  of  all 
branches  of  knowledge  hai  rf  ocbcd  ronden  every  one  who 
haa  to  do  with  books  somawhut  cf  a  bibliogrnplier;  >uch 
l>er9onfl,  tliBrefurr,  will  gladly  welcouia  any  kind  of  imlcx 
to  the  rapidly  increnaing  atore  of  bibli^grupby.  How 
quickly  thifl  store  incrca»c«  may  be  judged  from  tbe  fact 
that  durini?  Inst  year  no  less  than  •Hi  distinct  articles 
were  addc  t  to  tbo  mnny  thousands  which  already  exist. 
The  quoition  of  indexing  these  indexes  to  literature 
haa  already  been  dealt  with  by  the  following  writers: 
Ijvbbe,  1052;  Teiisior,  1686;  Peignot,  1812;  Home, 
18H;  Namur.  1838;  Schmidt,  18*0;  Ouild.  185S; 
Peliholdt,  18<W;  Power,  1870;  and  8abin,  1877.  Somo 
of  them  liATe  adopted  the  classified  form,  as  Pet^not  and 
Petxboldt,  and  others,  like  Power,  the  alphabetical. 
M.  Valico  follows  tbe  latter  plan,  snnplemcntcd  by  a 
Tery  full  index  of  subjects.  Tbo  balky  volume  now 
before  us  consists  of  two  ports,  the  first  being  an  nlpbo- 
betical  arranpcment  under  ftutliore'  nnuics,  and  tbe 
second  an  ali>habet)cal  subject-index,  with  brief  titles 
and  references  to  the  ihslui  headings.  It  dencriboa 
0,894  works,  and  extends  to  778  page*,  of  which  Lbo 
index  takes  up  176.  The  titles  arc  given  in  full  with 
praitewortby  accuracy.  WbtnaTcr  tbey  have  been  verified 
with  the  copies  in  the  Dibliothcque  Natinnale  tbo  fact  if 
notified  by  an  astorisk.  The  number  of  page*  is  made 
known  when  ]es»  than  forty-e^ht.  It  would  have  been 
useful  to  have  added  this  information  in  all  caaeii,  ai  the 
extent  of  a  bibliofi:ninhy  is  usually  tbe  first  thing  one 
wielies  to  know.  Vorhnni  a  more  ioTcr«  treatment  in 
drttwins  up  tbe  liit  migut  huve  been  followed  with  al- 
vantage,  lltbliography  proper  is  a  Bufficiently  wide  held 
without  admitting  a  aprinkUng  of  works  on  tlie  history 
of  general  libraries,  some  of  their  calalojpici,  with  iii- 
dexea  to  periodicals,  literary  biographies  and  histories,  and 
Buch  a  work  as  Brockbaus's  Connrsationt-LtxiJton.  A 
certain  amount  of  bibliographical  matter  i^  contained  in 
all  theio  subjects,  but  since  it  is  only  incidcntui  to  them 
a  notice  of  all  the  books  on  the  topics  should  bo  sup[»liod 
or  nooa  at  all,  M.  Vallue's  industry  and  comprehensive- 
peM  deserve  great  pmite ;  but  within  the  tint  forty  pages 
we  have  notieod  the  following  omUsious:  Ackermann't 
Orjtnll.  GfJvnJhettJtpJlf^t,  187< ;  AcUud'a  fitndenCj  Li- 
Vrary,  1577;  Adamaon  a  Catacttts,  \bW;  Ambrogio  di

vois,  Mounmnt  Liit  tn  Finfaftde.  187^;  Becker's  Vtr- 
Ed'chniu  von  muvl-al,  Schri/tcn,  1846.  A  more  prroiso 
knowledge  would  not  have  pennittcd  the  allucion  in  the 
preface  to  TonelTra  B'hUoU<a  BihUografca  as  a  biblio- 
graphy of  biblioiin^aphiefl.  The  "Alphabetical  List  of 
Cbaraotera  performed  by  John  Bannieter"  and  the 
"  Great  ftlusiciaua"  aeries  of  lives  have  neither  of  them 
mucli  connexion  with  bibliography,  Allibone's  Critical 
Dictwnary  is  enttrtd  tvice  over,  from  two  different 
issues  of  the  tiile-page.  The  seoond  and  imprortd 
edition  of  Co  Backer,  Bibliotha^ue  dts  Ecrivams  dt  la 
Comp.  de  JetVt  does  not  appear.  A  slip  of  the  [ten  boa 
included  the  LiteralttyliaU  /Or  Itomanijche  J'hlolojp't 
among  noveli  in  tbe  index.  Jo  cotiolusion,  however,  wo 
are  bound  to  state  that,  in  spite  of  any  small  orron  and 
omisfiicits  suoh  as  those  we  have  pointed  out,  we  have  no 
beeitation  in  faying  that  the  BxbltoffrapKie  dtM  Biblith

all  libliographorH  and  librarians, 

Eridanui^  Biwr  and  ConittUalion :  a  Studif  of  the 
Archaic  Southern  Aiteritmg,  By  Robert  Brown,  Jun.j 
F.S.A.  (Longmans  k  Co.) 
Tux  names  and  histories  of  tbe  oonstellatioDS  which  stud 
the  heavens  have  much  hiitorical  ai  well  as  OJtronomioal 
interest.  Wo  liavo  henrd  some  persons  express  wonder 
that  modem  sstroDDmers  are  content  with  the  rude 
cla8»ificati'.n  of  tbe  stars  which  they  have  inherited 
from  a  remote  antiquity.  We  wish  they  had  been  con- 
tent ;  but  the  fact  is  that  the  celestial  globe,  e9))«ciallj 
in  its  southern  portion,  is  dtsfJgured  by  a  number  of 
modern  signs  which  have  no  hi(>tono  interest  whatever, 
and  are  memorials  of  nothing  save  tbo  stupidity  of  their 
inrentors.  Tbe  ancient  ci  nhtellations,  whenever  they 
were  formed,  have  come  down  to  lu  from  a  verr  remote 
antit^uitr,  and  no  one  could  wish  that  they  were  forgotten 
or  T'-jected  from  modern  teaching.  Even  the  Comti  Bcre- 
nic^e,  though  comparatively  modem,  may  well  retain  Ite 
place,  but  the  objtcta  which  liare  been  added  during  the 
recent  centuries  elmnld  certainty  be  abolished.  Mr. 
Brown  has  undertaken  a  most  di£RcuU  task.  To  trace 
the  old  Donstellatlons  up  to  tliHr  origin  would  seem  to 
mnst  students  to  be  an  impossible  achievement.  We  do 
not  »ay  that  Mr.  Brown  haa  met  with  full  succeM,  but  ho 
has  with  great  lenming  made  many  hteps  in  the  right 
direction.  We  confidently  hope  that  much  more  know* 
ledge  than  wo  nt  present  roiscil  will  be  garnered  con- 
cerning the  remote  East,  where, according  to  onrprcsent 
lighlR,  civilixiition  originated.  Wlit-n  this  comes  t>)  jiasB 
Mr.  Lirown'a  work  may  bo  suitcrsedcd,  but  for  the  ]»re- 
sent  it  is  by  far  the  best  tnatiae  we  have  on  a  most 
obaouro  subject.  Mr.  Brdwn  quotes  Sir  George  Corne- 
wall  Lewis  for  the  opinion  tlmt  our  word  varnish  com- 
Kiemoratos  the  amber  colour  of  Berenice's  tresses.  It 
is  a  beautiful  i-lin,  and  wo  wish  wo  could  accept  it,  but  wo 
believe  that  the  greatest  modern  aathoritiea  hare  con- 
fidr:mly  rejeottd  it.

THB  BOOKSErXKKS  OF  LONDON  BRIDGE 
AND  THEIR  DWELLLVOS. 


The  btatorj  of  the  London  Bridge  booksellers 
iiid  pubUshers  cad  be  divided  into  throe  distinct 
periods.  London  Bridge  bctweoo  lfi5G  and  I7C0 
BofTered  from  Rre  three  timefi.  Twice  the  fire 
wu  fat&l  to  nearly  one-half  of  the  bouses  on  the 
bridge,  and  bolh  times  it  occurred  at  tbe  annie 
plftce.  Tbe  third  tire  of  1723  was  in  reality  not 
muob,  and  it  need  hardly  be  notioed. 

I.  I556-1G33.— The  fire  of  Feb.  13, 1C33,  which 
end?  tbie,  tbe  tirst  period,  coDanmed  more  than  a 
third  of  the  houses  on  London  Bridge  (about 
forty-two)  which  were  situoted  on  the  north  side. 
The  fire  began  near  SL  Magnus's  Church,  which 
was  lituated  at  the  north  end  of  tbe  bridge,  and 
raged  to  tbe  ftnt  Tacancy.  The  bridge  woa  com- 
posed of  nineteen  nrcbeBf  and  the  houses  that  were 
bamt  oeoupied  the  space  of  ten,  the  elereoth 
being  tbo  Toconoy  which  stopped  the  fire,  and 
MTod  tbe  remainder  of  the  bridge.  Although  tbe 
bridge  was  occupied  long  before  1556,  this  is  the 
earliest  date  at  which  we  find  a  bookseller  on  the 
bridge.  These  only  numbered  four,  three  of 
whom  ore  deaoribed  as  dwelling  at  St.  Magnua's 
Corner : — 

1.  WiUiAm  Pickering,  15M-1571.— In  one  of 


his  publications  he  is  described  la  lirbg  und^t 
St.  Magnus's  Church. 

2.  HughAstley,  1588-1008,— I  think  that  be 
must  have  succeeded  Pickering,  if  not  at  once,* 
eTentually,  as  he  is  described  aa  liTing  under  St. 
Magnus's  Church. 

3.  John  Tap,  1 600-1 G21. 

4.  Henry  Goaion,  tbe  fourth,  bad  a  "  shop  on 
London  Bridge,"  circa  1610-1628.  Oosaon's  house 
must  have  been  aituatcd  on  the  aoathem  part  of 
tbe  bridge,  for  in  1G35  we  6Dd  bim  **on  L'judon 
Bridge,  near  to  tbe  gate.'f'  He  is  cot  noticed  oa 
being  one  of  those  who  hod  their  places  burnt, 
according  to  Nehemiah  Wallingtnn's  lUcord  of 
the  MtrcUt  of  Ood,  quoted  by  Thomson,  nor, 
indeed,  are  any  booksellers  mentioned  in  that  list. 
Hia  still  being  on  tbe  bridge  after  tbe  fire  seems 
to  confirm  tbta.  Bioh.  Blome,  in  his  Sarwyj 
says  :— 

'*  The  north  end  of  the  bridge  lay  anbaiU  [nfter  the 
fire  of  1633J  for  tuauj  year*,  only  deal  boiirJa  vrers  tot 
up  OD  both  liOei.  to  prorent  tiio  people**  failinft  into  tbe 
Thamrp,  many  of  which  dpals  wf  re,  bjrbigh  triitds,  nf Ctm 
blown  down,  which  ma>le  it  very  dangrrous  in  the  night*, 
although  tbere  waa  Innthomci  and  can<ilo«  bung  upon 
all  tbe  croaa  boAtnt  that  b«M  the  poles  togf  tbcr.  About 
\6i3  the  11'  rth  end  bf  gon  to  bt  rebuilt,  and  was  finished 
in  IGid;  the  building  vu  of  timbm,  and  Tory  sab- 
Btonlial  and  beautiful,  tbo  nidth  beinjr  20  feet  acrou, 
vbereaa  the  southern  porttoo  was  out;  12f«et  acroM." 

n.  1633-1660.— Ooly  two  booksellers  occur 
daring  this  period  : — 

1.  Henry  Gosson,  near  to  the  Gate,  1635. 

2.  Charles  Tyus,  at  the  Three  Bibles  on  Londoa 
Bridge,  1G!I0-16G4.  Acoording  to  the  dates 
attached  to  Charles  Tyos,  I  shoiud  think  that  ha 
was  in  Che  New  Biiildioga  and  was  burnt  out  in 
this  fire.  The  sign  of  the  "Three  Bibles."  aa  a 
bookseller's  sign,  appears  on  the  bridge  again  in 
1668. 

The  fire  of  Sept.  2,  1666,  destroyed  the  houaea 
that  had  been  built  on  tbe  ruins  of  tbe  fire  of 
1633. 

III.  1666-1760.— In  1669  we  find  the  northern 
part  of  the  bridge  rebuilt,  though  on  a  smaller 
scale.^  The  following  are  the  Dooksellers  who 
appear  in  this,  the  concluding  portion  of  their 
appearance  on  the  bridge  : — 

1.  T.  Parkhurst,  at  the  Golden  Bible,  next  tbe 
Gate,  1C67-1675.  Piirkhurat  naed  to  call  hia 
sign  the  "  Bible  "  as  well  us  the  "  Golden  BiblsL" 
He  was  succeeded  by  Joseph  Collyer,  who  is  at 
tbe  sign  of  the  Bible  in  1680,  though  in  1679  we 
fiad  bim  in  partnership  with  Stephen  Foster  at 
the  Angel,  for  which  see  No,  7. 

2.  Thoe.  Passinger  (or  Passenger),  at  tbe  Three 


*  William  PickeriDg died  157U 

f  There  was  only  one  gate  on  the  bridge,  and  that  at 
tbe  S^utbitark  end.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES.         [6<^aviLJrx«i«,n 


Biblefl,  about  the  middle  of  London  Bridge,  1665- 
1687,  flucceeded  by  Eben.  Tr&cey,  whom  we  find 
there  1G96-1712;  H-  Tracey,  1719-1722  j  and 
H.  and  J.  Tracey  in  1724.  This  is,  no  doubt,  a 
Tevival  of  Tyua's  sign  of  the  Three  Bibles. 

3.  Benj.  Hurlock,  over  a^^ainst  St,  Magnna'a 
Church  oa  Lrondoa  Bridge,  near  Thames  Street, 
1672. 

4.  T.  Taylor,  the  Hand  and  Bible  in  the  New 
Buildings^*  1673-4,  who  was  Buoceeded  by  Eliz. 
Smith,  whom  we  find  there  in  1691. 

h.  John  Williamson,  Sun  and  Bible  in  the  Low 
EuildingBjt  1678.— In  1721  we  find  at  the  Sun 
and  Bible,  on  London  Bridge,  H.  Green,  but 
whether  it  was  the  same  house  or  nut  is  not  ascer- 
tained; but  most  probably  it  was,  as  houses  used 
to  retain  their  si^s,  exceptinj;  when  the  fancies  or 
trades  of  their  owners  differed. 

6.  Charles  Pasainger  (or  Paeaenger),  probably  a 
reliition  of  Tbo?.  Paesinger  (see  No.  2),  as  both  of 
theui  aro  found  in  many  inntances  as  Eigenta  fur 
the  same  book.  He  was  at  the  Seven  Stdra  in  the 
New  BuildiDRS  1G78-1C82. 

7.  Joseph  Collyer  and  Stephen  Foster,  at  the 
Angel,  a  liltle  below  the  gate,  1679,  In  1(;80  we 
find  Jca.  Collyer  At  the  Bible,  under  the  gate, 
where  ho  succeeded  T.  Purkhurst  (see  No.  1). 

5.  Johu  Back,  at  the  Black  Boy,  uearlbe  draw- 
bridge, 108^-1696;  succeeded  by  M.  Ilothaui,  who 
was  there  1719-1721,  and  was  probably  burnt  out 
in  the  fire  which,  on  Sept.  11,  1723,  destroyed  n 
few  hooses  near  the  ^ate.  In  1692  there  was  a  J. 
Bush  at  a  second  Black  Bey  on  London  Bridge, 
bub  where  situated  ta  not  knowa. 

D.  J.  Blare,  at  the  LookiDg-Gla8B,near  the  obarcb, 
1689-1704.— This  refers  to  St.  Mtignus'e  Church, 
which  was  at  the  north  end  of  the  bridge.  Blure 
was  succeeded  by  F.  Hnt^Kes  1710,  Ja*.  Hodges 
1720-I7i>7.  In  17^i>  11  JJiifory  of  Guy,  Earl  of 
Wariinckj  was  publiahed  at  the  Lookiug-CrUa^,  but 
with  no  publisher's  name.  Another  shop  with  the 
sign  of  the  Looktog- GLiiss  was  occupied  from 
1C90  to  1721  by  Tfaos.  Norris.  Two  others  used  the 
same  sign,  Edward  MidnlDter^  IT21,  and  T.  Harris, 
3741-4. 

10.  W.  Thackeray,  on  London  Bridge,  printer 
and  publigber,  1G95.— W.  Thackeray  wns  at  the 
ABfjel,  in  Duck  Lane,  near  West  Smithfield,  in 
1687,  but  his  name  alone  appears  on  several  London 
Bridge  publioationa. 

U.  A.  Bott^swortb,  Rod  Lion,  17l»8-17l5.  In 
1715  he  removed  to  PaiemoBter  Row,  and  carried 
the  Ked  Lion  with  hiu>,  where  he  took  into 
partnership  hia  son-in-law,  0ba9.  Hitch. 

12.  S.  Orowder  &  Co.,  on  Londoo  Bridge,  1760. 

This  completes  my  list  of  London  Bridge  book- 

*  Tbo  northern  part  of  the  hriJ^e. 
t  The  liOir  Buildingi  were  the  buildirgs  erected  aflflr 
tbo  fire  of  IdUo,  being  much.  loner   than  their  pre- 


sellcri,  in  which,  ao  far  as  is  at  present  ascertained, 
I  have  gathered  together  chips  to  indicate,  as  a 
writer  in  "N.  &  Q."  suggested,  their  whereabouts 
on  the  bridge.  I  believe  that  no  such  Hat  has  jet 
appeared,  probably  because  the  diBioultics  are  at 
first  sight  great,  and  materials  for  such  a  sketch 
arfl  few. 

In  this  we  see  the  gradual  increase  of  trade  firom 
Pickering  in  1C56  to  1760,  when  we  find  only  ens 
remaining,— Crowdor  &  Co.  For  more  than  two 
hundred  years  booksellers  have  been  represented 
on  the  bndge,  and  have  taken  no  mean  active 
part  in  its  eventful  history.  The  bridge,  as  I  have 
already  shown,  was  visited  by  fire,  twice  with  a 
disastrous  efifect  and  once  only  slightly.  But  these 
events,  though  only  destroying  about  half  the 
bridge,  mark  the  history  of  booksellers  into  three 
distinct  periods  until  the  bridge  was  cleared  of 
habitations.  I  cannot  conclude  without  mention- 
ing that  Mr.  W.  G.  B.  Paf;6  has  added  some 
notes,  the  result  of  bis  stilt  accumulating  iDfor* 
mition,  which  I  have  embodied,  and  gratcfuDy 
acknowledge.  May  I  aay  that  if  any  reader  comes 
tipon  anything  that  refers  to  the  London  Bridge 
buokaellera,  either  Mr.  W.  G.  B.  Page  or  I  sh^ 
ba  glad  to  hear  of  it  ?  G.  J.  Qrat.

LORD  CHANCELLOR  ELDOX. 

When  visiting,  some  years  since,  at  Buxted 
Pork,  the  residence  of  the  late  Earl  of  Liverpool, 
I  WA^  present  at  the  examination  of  many  letters 
which  had  been  addressed  to  the  first  earl  when 
Prime  Minister.  A  few  of  these  letters  were 
given  to  me  for  the  sake  of  the  autographs,  and 
among  them  was  one  from  Lord  Chancellor  KIdoDt 
which  does  not  appear  to  have  been  known  to 
Lord  Campbell,  or,  at  all  events,  noticed  by  him. 
As  it  may  be  thought  to  contain  some  points 
of  interest,.  I  trust  you  will  consider  that  it  may 
be  appropriately  inserted  in  "N.  &  Q."  la 
this  letter  he  alludes,  and  probably  for  the  first 
time,  to  a  retirement  from  his  important  office,  a 
snggestion  which  be  several  times  repeated  before 
he  Anally  relinquished  bis  dnties.

Malone  thou;:ht  it  wanted  sense,  and  most,  I  think, 
must  admit  that  as  ordinarily  read  it  does,' whethei 
as  retjards  the  lino  alone  or  its  precedinj;  linei 
The  explanation  he  afterwards  gave  can  commend 
itself  to  no  one,  for  he  construes  "maketh  mim 
untrue  "  as  .in  English  equivalent  of  "  is  the  can« 
of  n)y  wntnith."  IJesidefl,  Shakespeare's  ar^nmeBl 
is  not  that,  he  is  untrue,  but  so  true  that  his  eye  11 
unlnie.  Hence  Malone's,  Collier's,  and  Lettwa^ 
emendations — substantially  one — may  be  expreiscd 
as  "  makes  mine  eye  untrue."  and  thisnndoubtedl/ 
gives  the  sense  required,  though,  I  think,  •oine> 
what  at  the  expense  of  the  Shakespearian  rhykhn. 
Put  this  sense  better  expressed  may  be  obtaiBed 
without  altering  a  letter,  if  we  take  mtiu  not  si

Mr.  Loftir's  "Histort  of  London." —  I 
have  junt  had  an  hour's  look  at  Mr.  Loftie's  Hit- 
iory  of  Lowion,  Will  you  allow  me  space  fnr  a 
few  words  in  vindication  of  old  friends  who  hare 
pamed  away^-one,  if  not  both,  correspondents  of 
"  N.  &  Q/'— and  to  correct  an  error  or  two  ] 

Vol.  L  p.  323,  as  to  "  the  ruthlewiness  of  Gwilt's 
restoration"  of  St.  Saviour's  Church,  Mr.  Doll- 
man,  our  latest  and  highest  autliority,  says : — 
"These  works,  done  under  the  superintendence 
of  Mr.  Owilt,  in  a  most  careful,  accurate,  and 
conscientious  manner,  the  old  work  bein;;  pre- 
Mrved  wherever  practicable,"  &c.  In  the  designs 
for  restoration,  tW  of  Mr,  Owilt,  jun.,  was  the 
best,  and  won  the  premium  of  one  hundred 
guineas.  *'  The  existing  tout  eyisimbU  of  tbe  eait 
end,  conforming  strictly  as  it  does  to  ihe  orifcioul 
deaiijrn,  is  an  evidence  of  Mr  Owilt's  scrupulous 
care,  and  cannot  but  be  regard«<l  an  very  satis* 
factory,'* — and  more  to  the  same  effect.  Our 
other  beat  Southwark  antiquary  fares  no  better. 
These  are  the  words :  "Some  ridiculous  siipges- 
ttons  AS  to  tbe  meaning  of  the  word  n^kenger," 
Theee  ridiculous  suQfitestions  are  Mr.  O,  H 
Comer's,  carefully  given,  and  probably  quite 
riirht.  They  were  publi!»hed  in  "N.  &  Q," 
S»"i  S.  iii.  417.  I  htive-Old  Southwark  and  iU 
Ftople^  p.  302— taken  the  same  line  of  ex- 
planation as  Mr.  Corner  did,  vit,  that  the  name 
probably  takes  its  origin  from  a  gallows  there 
known  as  the  devilV  necjfeinj^w,  or  neckercbief, 
or  hempen  collar,  or  wbnt  not, 

Mr.  Lofiie  is  at  fault  as  to  Shakespeare.  He 
did  not  "own  the  Boar's  Head  in  tho  High 
Street  of  Southwark,  opposite  tbe  east  end  of  St. 
Sariour's  Church."  Shakespeare  never  owned 
any  house  in  Southwark.  Fastolfe  owned  it,  and 
left  it  as  part  foandatioa  of  Magdalea  Oullege, 


Oxford,  throngh  Bishop  Wainfleet.  "His  brother, 
Edmond  Sbakespeare,"  never  "had  a  momunent 
in  St.  Saviour's  Church";  the  record  of  hii  death 
is  in  tho  register,  and  he  had  tho  distinction  of  a 
forenoon  knell  of  tbe  great  betl.  The  Globe 
Theatre  can  scarcely  be  said  to  have  been  "  bis." 
Shakespeare  was  a  "deserving  man,"  bo  Burhage 
says,  and  he  was  admitted  to  slmre  with  others 
what  were  called  "  the  profits  of  tbe  house,"  and 
be  wrote,  say,  two  plays  a  year  for  the  Globe.  I 
could  animadvert  upon  more  of  the  same  sort,  but 
this  will  sufBce.  W.  Hkndlk.

Phb  Grkxs  and  Anolican  Churches.  — 
eodore  Wesselowski  became  Russian  ambassador 
London  in  1717,  and  according  to  a  Russian 
graphical  work,  Entfyhlopetdietkie  Ltksikon 
137,  vol  ix.),  he  soon  after  his  appointment 
ndeavoured  to  bring  about  a  union  between 
I  Greek  Church  and  the  Church  of  England  as 
I  United  Orthodox  Apostolic  Church,  and  he 
riled  himself  of  this  opportunity  to  bnild  a 
ask  ohorch  in  Jjondon."  Now,  where  was  this 
oiodf    Since  1677  theiv  had  been  a  Greek 


church  in  Soho,  which,  after  many  vicissitudes,  in 
passing  through  the  hands  of  French  Protestants, 
English  Dissenters,  and  others,  still  stands,  or 
recently  stood,  in  Crown  Street,  St.  Giles's.  But 
where  was  the  church  built  by  Wesselowskif 
And  where  did  the  Greeks  in  the  City  meet  for 
worship  before  the  erection  of  their  present  church 
in  London  Wall  ?  Where  can  I  find  any  details 
of  the  negotiations  set  on  foot  between  1717  and 
1720  for  the  union  of  the  two  Churches  1  Wesse- 
luwski  was  in  London  as  ambaasodor  for  those 
years,  and  during  the  same  ))eriod  Wake  was 
Archbishop  of  Canterbury  and  Robinson  was 
Bishop  of  London.  Have  the  lives  of  these 
prelates  been  published  ;  and,  if  so,  is  any  men- 
tion made  of  negotiations  such  as  the  Russian 
encyclopaedist  describes  ?  Jatdkr. 

fThe  church  of  St.  Mary  the  Virgin,  Crown  Street, 
Solio  Square,  now  occupies  the  site  of  the  Greek  Church 
rcrerred  to,  which  was  consecrated  in  1077.] 

A  CaRious  LiTTLB  Book.— I  send  you  a  copy, 
word  for  word,  of  a  curious  little  book,  containing 
seven  pages,  which  came  into  my  possession  some 
time  ago,  when  the  library  at  Weston  Hall,  in 
Wharfedule,  was  dispersed.  It  hod  remained  there 
doubtless  from  the  time  when  the  anonymous 
writer  deposited  it  with  Dr.  Vavasour  until  the 
books  were  sold  after  the  death  of  his  successor 
Mr.  Christopher  Dawson.  Can  any  of  yonr  readers 
say  to  what  the  book  refers  or  who  wrote  it  f  It 
is  printed  on  ribbed  letter-paper,  is  bound  in  tree- 
calf,  and  the  leaves  are  gilt-edged.  On  p.  1,  evi- 
dently in  the  author's  handwriting,  is  : — 
"To  Doctor  Vavasour. 

"Sir,— The  Author  bega  Lenre  to  dcpoiite  this  Utile 
Book  in  your  Handi  for  the  purpose  mentioned  in  the 
Title-page." 

Then  follows:— 

"A  I  Method  I  taken   to   secure   the  Fame  |  of  a| 
Curious  DiscoTcry.  |  Printed.  May  21,  1793. 

"A  I  Method,  &c.  |  The  following  ninety-eight  letters,

announce  a  curious  and  interettiog  Discorery  in  Phtlo- 
aopby  and  the  Arts,  with  the  Name  and  Country  of  the 
Author. 

"  The  present  circumstances  of  the  person  who  made 
this  dlscorenr  do  not  as  yet  admit  of  its  being  made 
public,  which  is  no  small  mortification  to  the  author, 
who  is  therefore  obliged  to  take  this  method  of  securing 
at  least  the  fame  of  the  invention. 

''  The  first  idea  of  this  matter  occurred  to  the  author 
as  early  as  the  year  1780,  and  on  beinz  mentioned  to 
some  friends  was  treated  as  chimerical :  Hotvever,  before 
the  expiration  of  that  year,  the  author  had  the  satisfac- 
tion of  realizing  the  idea  by  experiments,  which  hare 
been  prosecuted  from  time  to  time  ever  since,  and  thi^ 
under  every  species  of  oppression,  which  human  malig- 
nity could  throw  in  the  way."

(p.  K7)  that  in  lfi58  the  Corporation  of  tbe 
borough  ordered  that  "  every  Miller  on  warning 
shall  bring  hia  toll-dish  to  Mr.  Mayor  to  a  lawfiil 
size  thereof  sealed  under  a  penalty  of  64."  This 
loU-diih  I  take  to  be  the  meamre  whioh  the  miller 


was  by  eastern  allowed  out  of  any  eettain  quaatx^ 
of  grain  brought  to  his  mill  for  grindioff.  I  >haU

Russell  Worsted.— For  years  past  I  ban 
been  in  the  habit  of  wearing  for  common  oie  k 
coat  of  a  material  called  by  my  tailoia  "  BaveD 
cord  ";  and  I  always  took  for  granted  it  was  • 
kiod  of  stout  alpaca,  and  made,  therefore,  fens 
tbe  wool  of  the  species  of  llama  which  ii  called 
by  that  name;  But,  turning  over  an  old  Tolame 
of  "K.  &  Q./'  I  find  a  query  (one  of  Mvenl 
"Commercial  Queries,"  4**  S.  ix.  37)  by 
W.  A.  S.  B.  in  reference  to  "Russell  wonted' 
(doubtless  the  same  stuff),  in  which  it  is  stated 
that  "  it  has  been  in  use  for  four  or  five  centuries.' 
If  this  be  really  the  case  it  can  have  nothing  to  do 
with  the  alpaca,  which  can  only  hare  been  intro- 
duced after  tbe  discovery  of  America.  Indeed, 
four  or  fire  centuries  would  almost  carry  us  back 
to  the  first  establishment  of  such  mannfactnres  in 
England,  when  worsted  derived  its  name  from 
the  town  of  Worsteod  (formerly  written  Woiatede}| 
in  Norfolk,  where  it  was  first  made  in  this  coun- 
try. W.  A.  S.  R.*8  query  was  never,  I  believe, 
answered,  and  it  would  be  of  interest  if  some  of

(6»^  S.  Til.  406,  451.) 

There  nre  two  circumstances  which  render 
it  very  difficult  to  obtain  any  distinct  evidence 
on  this  questiohj  namely,  the  large  nnraber  of 
anonymous  political  and  satirical  writers  of 
the  first  part  of  the  last  century,  and  the  number 
of  smalt  clubs  nnd  coteries  into  which  thejr 
were  divided.  These  men  met  together  every 
day  and  dt^cusftcd  the  news  nnd  the  political 
literature  of  the  day.  One  made  a  snggoation  or 
threw  out  a  hint,  which  was  approved  and  ap- 
plauded ;  be  w:is  pressed  to  work  it  out  and  print 
it,  but  he  replied^  "  No.  I  have  not  the  time  to  do 
it,"  and,  tnrning  to  a  friend,  would  say,  "  If  you 
will  write  it  ont  and  print  it^  I  will  help  yon  to 
any  extent."  Thus  many  a  pamphlet  waa  written  ; 
and  as  it  w.is  to  some  extent  n  compoeite  produc- 
tion, each  of  the  friends  could  say,  "Upon  my 
honour  I  did  not  write  it."  Thi?  is  well  illas- 
tnted  in  Steele's  celebrated  Criiu.  Steele  says 
the  firpt  idea  of  it  w.is  given  by  Mr.  Moore,  of  too 
Inner  Temple,  who  promised  to  revised  the  legal

Messrs.  Addison,  Lechmere,  Minshall,  and  Hoad- 
ley  ;  from  thcw  corrected  copies  the  pamphlet  na

In  the  Monthly  Jlcview  it  is  observed  that  Barron

Ihe  hotter  to  iJcan  Hwift  was  just  published  as  the 
work  of  Mr.  (Gordon  ;  hence  every  later  critic  has

The  RcTnvFx  Pp.frage (6** S.  vil  87,  lt"9, 153, 
168,  193,  22'J,  20il  350;.— As  the  descendant  of  a 
house  which  shared  with  tho  KuthTens  of  Gowrie 
in  the  Forfeitures  of  1584,  I  shoald  like,  while 
yet  in  time,  to  be  allowed  to  offer  a  few  remorki 
on  the  history  of  the  peerage  of  Buthren  of  Frce- 
lund ;  for  that  is  the  title  here  in  qnestion,  iki 
liuthveo  peerage  being,  of  course,  the  origuul 
Parliamentary  lordship  of  the  Gowrio  family. 

Mr.  Bocnd  has  brought  yery  sweeping  asd 
very  heavj'  charges  against  the  entire  Peerage  of 
Scotland,  in  saying  that  the  succession  to  the  title 
of  Ruthven  of  Freeland  is  "  little  less  than  dis- 
creditable "  to  that  Peerage.  After  this,  it  is  a 
comparatively  trifling  matter  that  he  should  openly 
charge  Ulster,  and  by  implication  also  Lyon,  with 
grave  departures  from  the  way  of  righteousness. 

Mr.  Bound  is  evidently  anxious  to  impress 
upon  us  a  thesis  which  is  advanced  by  Mr.  Foster 
in  his  Peeragef  that  there  is  no  indefeasible  nobility 
of  blood  in  Scotland.  I  must  take  leave  to  except  to 
this  view.  The  true  statement  of  the  case  as  regards 
tho  nobility  of  blood  of  the  peers  of  Scotland  I 
take  to  be  this,  that  it  rests,  in  the  case  of  the 
ancient,  and  of  most  of  the  comparatively  modem, 
members  of  that  Peerage,  on  the  pre-existent  baro- 
nial status  of  our  Lords  of  Parliament,  when  as

in  whuob  estate  are  comprehended  all  Dukes,  Mar-

luinioDera  for  the  Shires/'  these  last  beiog  the 
representatives  of  the  leBRcr  borons,  after  that 
portion  of  the  baronial  order  had  finally  acquiesced 
m  representutioD,  an  acquiescence  which  it  took 
the  whole  long  period  from  1-127  to  1587  to  bring 
about.  But  the  lesser  barons  did  not  cease  to  be 
an  integral  portion  of  the  baronial  order  by  reason 
of  their  eventual  acceptance  of  the  priociplo  of 
represenLition,  any  more  than  the  Scottish  peers 
ceased  to  be  such  when  ihcy  .ij^roed  at  the  Union 
in  1707  that  certain  elected  members  of  their  body 
should  represent  (he  entire  body  in  the  House  of 
Lords. 

Mr,  Kouxd  casta  doubts  upon  the  burning  of 
the  Place  of  Freeland,  I  bare  not  searched  the 
Tnrioiis  possible  sources  of  contemporary  informa- 
tion as  to  erenta  of  the  period  indicated,  because 
I  consider  that  such  a  fact  must  have  been  noto- 
rious. And,  in  any  case,  whether  it  were  noto- 
rious or  not,  ic  is  far  more  credible  that  a  Scottish 
peer's  country  seat  should  have  been  accidentiLlly 
destroyed  by  fire  than  that  the  peer  himself  should 
have  set  fire  to  it  in  order  to  bum  a  supposed 
iDconrenient  document,  or  should  have  falmely 
alleged  that  his  house  was  so  destroyed — which 
aeema  to  be  the  dilemma  led  up  to  by  Mr.  Round's 
language.  With  regard  to  the  representation, 
during  the  early  pnrt  of  the  eighteenth  century, 
of  the  family  of  Kuthvon  of  Freeland  by  Sir 
William  Cunningham  of  CuDninghamhead,  the 
facta  are  duly  set  forth  by  Sir  liernard  Burke  in 
his  Extinct  and  Dormant  Baronetcies  (second  edit., 
184-1}  under  the  heading  of  the  Cunningham  head 
title.  I  am,  therefore,  quite  unable  to  see  with 
what  justice  Sir  Bernard  can  be  accused  of  any- 
thing approaching  to  suppression  because  be  doea 
not  repeat  those  facts  in  bis  Pitrage, 

The  Hetours  also,  both  special  and  general, 
bear  the  B&ine  witness.  The  special  and  general 
■ervices  of  David,  Lord  Huthvon,  oh  heir  of 
Thomas,  Lord  Ruthven,  his  father,  are  both  dated 
Mny  16,  1673  (/»'/.  .S>f.,  Perth,  853  ;  Inq,  (r'm., 
5631),  while  the  similar  services  of  Sir  William 
Cunningham,  third  baronet  of  Cunninij;hamhead 
(errooeonsly  printed  "second"  in  Burkes  Extinct 
Baronetcietj  ut  supra),  were  as  heir  of  his  father. 
Sir  William,  August  20,  1672  {htq.  Spec,  Ayr, 
684),  and  as  heir  of  his  mother,  Dame  Anna  Ruth- 
Ten  (Inq.  Om.^  6959),  March  21,  1680. 

With  these  evidences  before  me,  lean  only  come 
to  the  conclusion  thnt  there  bos  been  no  suppression, 
either  in  the  Puhlio  Archives  of  Scotland,  or  in 
the  historical  accounts  of  Scottish  hereditary  titles 
edited  by  Ulster  King  of  Arms.  Nor,  on  the 
faith  of  these  facts,  can  I  come  to  any  other  con- 
elusion  with  regard  to  Lyon  King  of  Arms,  quite 
(iparb  from  any  consideration  of  the  high  esteem  lo 


which  both  olfLcets  are  widely  held.  As  to  the 
construction  of  the  patent  of  the  title  of  Ruthven 
of  Freeland,  that  patent  heing,  odmiltedty,  no 
longer  in  existence,  I  can  only  say  that  I  certainly 
think  that  the  Lords  of  Session,  whether  their 
Returu  to  the  order  of  the  lords  spiritual  and 
temporal,  of  June  12, 1739,  be  considered  a  "llasco" 
or  not,  would  b.ive  made  some  remarks  upon  the 
Freeland  peerage  bad  they  felt  it  necessary  to  do 
so.  That  they  did  not  seems  to  me  to  be  evidence 
that  they  saw  no  occasion  for  any  such  remarks  as 
they  did  oppend  to  other  titlea.  On  two  titles, 
those  of  Findlater  and  Seafield,  the  Lords  of 
Session  did  make  some  observations  which  may 
serve  to  answer  a  doubt  expressed,  I  think,  by 
Mr.  Round  in  the  course  of  the  Freeland  con- 
troversy. Whether  the  earldoms  of  Findlater 
and  Seafield,  "  at  present  joined,"  say  the 
Scottish  judges  of  1739-40,  may  not  "  hereafter 
separate  will  depend  on  the  form  of  the  settle- 
ment of  the  succession  in  the  estates  of  Ftndlater 
snd  Dexford  (nc,  for  Deskford),  the  patrimony  of 
the  first  Earl  of  Findlater,  to  which  his  patent 
refers,  and  on  the  form  of  the  settlement  made  by 
the  first  Earl  of  Seafietd  of  his  lands,  baronies,  and 
estates "  (Robertson,  Proctcding*  rdaiing  to  the 
Peerage  of  Scotland).  It  would  be  easy  to  show 
that  the  Findlater  and  Seofield  titles  do  not  by 
any  means  stand  alone  in  this  respect. 

Mu.  Round  seems  to  wish  us  to  believe  that  n 
resolution  of  a  single  house  has  the  force  of  statute 
law.  That  is  a  doctrine  which  I  cannot  admit  as 
constitutional.  There  was,  indeed,  a  period  when 
it  waa  acted  upon.  That  was  when,  on  May  19, 
1649,  the  Lower  House  assumed,  by  resolution,  lo 
abolish  both  the  Upper  House  and  the  Monarchy.

The  family  of  Leslie  of  Balquhain,  in  Aber-

Empire  aa  Counts  Leslie,  and  are  mentioned  in 
that  very  useful  book,  Burke's  Landed.  Oeniry. 
Burke,  however,  only  gives  the  recent  pedigree  of 
the  family,  which  is  now  represented  through 
female  Heaoent,  the  title  of  count  being,  aa  it 
would  appear,  extinct.  The  name  Leslie  of  Balqu- 
hain must  be  familiar  to  all  readers  of  Scottish 
history.  They  were  the  chiefs,  or  rather  chieftains, 
of  the  Aberdeenshire  branches  of  the  great  Leslie 
family,  and  were  at  one  time  a  brave  and  pug- 
nncioua  race,  but  I  am  afraid  also  rather  turbulent. 
I  am  not  aware  that  any  of  the  old  books  of 
Scottish  pedigrees  give  a  complete  genealogy  of 
tbe  Leslies  of  Balquhain,  but  the  late  CoL  Charles 
Leslie  a  few  yeara  ago  wrote  and  printed  for 
private  use  a  book  on  the  liistory  of  tho  Leslie 
family,  I  have  not  seen  that  book,  but  I  under- 
stand that  there  is  a  copy  of  it  for  the  use  of 
r€.idera  in  the  British  Museum.  The  ruins  of  the 
old  castle  of  Balquhain  are  to  be  uen  at  no  great

have    spared    himself    the    regrets    to    which    a 

reperuBal  may  lead.      In  his   opening  paragraph 

he  auerts  that  I  have  *'made  a  curious  mistake" 

in  fluppoeiog  **  a  man  to  be  d/tecndtd  from  his  own

between  quartering,  quarters,  and  impaling'^;  but 

peradrenlure  further  study  may  convince  my  critic 

that  the  "  curious  mistake  "  is  not  mine,  and  that 

the  elementary  instructioD  U  not  required  by  me. 

In  describing  a  grant  of  arms,  which  formed  the 

subject  of  my  queries,  I  stated  that  the  right  to 

quarter  the  arms  of  the  wife  had  been  conveyed 

to  the  husband  by  the  constituted  authorities  upon 

his  assumption  under  royal  licence  of  the  nmU- 

tional  surname  and  arms  of  the  ftimily  of  which 

■be  was  the  representative.     Will  P.  P.  tell  me 

AD  what  mode  the  assumed  arms  should  have  beeu 

fcarsballed  by  the  said  authorities  ;  and  will  he,

Bras  a  legend  of  a  cavo  l.imp,  suddenly  extinguished

generally  a  small  level  place  near  thu  boundary  of 
the  numerous  counties,  baronies,  townships,  &g., 
into  which  the  land  was  generally  divided.  It 
seemed  to  have  been  a  neutral  ground,  belonging 
conjointly  or  alternately  to  either  of  neighbouring

(ho  universally  used  amongst  the  country  folk  of 
Enst  and  Mid  Kent  to  express  a  certain  idea) 
from  the  French  quxire  ?  Such  popnUr  words

J.  A.  Plcto:«  confirms  the  proper  use  of  tbe  words, 
which  is  all  that  will  interest  your  readers.  Tbe 
gambling  word  htdgt  (which  I  knew)  keeps  tbe 
proper  meaning— to  protect,  or  gu.ird — and  U 
only  special  as  to  tbe  means  used  to  that  end.  It 
is  at  least  as  old  as  the  English  Bible  in  iU  right 
sense,  and  I  noted  it  not  as  a  mw  word,  but  as  to 
a  new,  and  improper,  use  of  it.  Of  the  thre«  ex- 
amples of  bad  U30  tho  last  ia  saatained  by  Sir  J.  A. 
PicTON,  whilst  to  the  two  former  I  thought  the 
gambling:;  sense  of  lisdgc  could  not  apply.  He  thinks 
I  mistook  the  meaning  of  the  word;  but  I  imagine  be 
b:is  mistaken  the  meaning  of  the  sentences  in  which 
the  word  occurred,  I  cannot  see  his  interpretation 
of  hedge  as  to  the  battle  or  tbe  BiU,  except  in  a 
Ftense  which  is  aj^ainat  the  facts;  for  the  battle  was 
not  "protected  "  or  "guarded,"  nor  was  tho  Bill ; 
shirking  or  avoiding  was  the  sense  in  both  cases. 
Aa  to  the  Bill,  the  blame  wiia  for  not  malting  a 
decided  resistaace  to  it.  Some  were  aocuncd  of 
edging  it — edging  like  the  fox  on  one  line  to  *^  get 
away";  not  hedging  mlh  other  Bills  like  a  book- 
milker's  borsen.  W.  F.  IL

Hedging^  that  is,  tbe  cutting  or  pruning  of 
hedges,  is  quite  an  art— a  upecttiiiW  — although  to 
the  uninitiated  it  may  seem  sirnplo  enough.  The 
hedger  "  trims  "  his  hedges  on  both  sides,  bo  aa  to 
make  them  alike  ;  and  this  is  evidently  tbe  origin 
of  hedging  as  used  on  the  turf.  As  I  understand 
it,  a  turfite  who  hedges,  arranges  or  trims  his  bets 
so  OS  not  to  lose,  whatever  may  be  the  result  of 
the  race.  Edmund  Watertov.

— I  remember  reading  in  some  liturgical  work 
tliM  standing  in  prayer  was  certainly  the  attitude 
adopted  by  the  early  Christian  Church.  Con- 
siderable corroboration  of  this  view  is  derived 
fri^m  the  present  practice  in  the  Russo-Greck 
Charcb  (and,  I  believe,  other  Oriental  rites),  where 
the  whole  aui»t*iucg  stand  duriu^  the  Liturgy  (the 
Eistern  name  of  the  Moss  of  Western  Cbristeu- 
doni).  This  practice  is  not  unknown  in  Komnn 
Catholic  churches  on  the  Continent.  In  France  it 
is  cuaiumary  for  luilitary  men  (as  also  the  miait) 
to  stand  even  at  the  elevation.  W.  B.  N. 

This  custom,  it  would  seem,  is  not  unknowo  in 
Norway.  Mrs.  Stone,  giving  an  account  of  the 
service  at  the  Lutheran  Church  at  Vik,  iu  her 
recently  published  Noruriif  in  June,  says  :— 

"  The  coDgregation  ttooti  at  prayer,  anil  iit  other  times 
SMDiod  to  »U  or  at&nd  us  th«y  pleued.  Tbroughout  the 
whole  lervjce  iLe  men  chewed  tobacco,  op«iiing  tbcir

In  extension  of  Mu.  FisngR*8  note  may  I  say

cirilizaiion  during  tbo  fifteouth  century  as  is  commonly 
believed.  This  is  no  doubt  true,  and  homo  out  by  other 
fads,  and  notably  by  the  fact,  which  was  well  Iroujflit 
out  by  the  bite  B.  W.  Robertnon,  that  at  the  time  of  ihc 
cimiuienccuicnt  of  the  War  of  In>1ependcnco,  nriaing  out 
of  the  disputed  lucceseion,  the  pitch  wliich  ScotlnnJ  had 
reached  in  the  arts  and  scicncra  of  the  day  wai  distinctly 
liigh.  It  was  ns  distinctly  thrown  back  by  the  circum- 
ktanoes  of  the  nar.  There  are  cases  in  whicli  war 
operates,  in  a  certain  lonie,  ns  a  spur  to  the  arti  and 
Eclonees  ;  but  that  was  not  the  case  with  the  war  which 
esuied  such  Uiitg  atMin->sity  between  England  and  Scot- 
land. The  trnoefl  of  this  animosity  Utc  in  the  pa^ei  of 
the  Scottiih  KxcliC'^ucr  Roll*,  bald  as  they  are  of  all  the 
ornaments  of  rhetoric.  The  fcrmei  of  lands  are  remitted 
*'  propter  vsetiiaioiu  cnrundem  tempore  guerre,"  »nd 
the  elioriff'  findi  himiielf  unable  to  dittrain,  "propter 
guorras  Augltcorum."  But  we  hear  of  tbo  arts  oi  peace, 
notwithstanding,  nnd  wo  learn  the  wa^ei  of  gardeners 
and  gtooms,  and  other  mcmhora  uf  tbe  liou»ehold:  stil 
we  a'so  see  bow  mnrriaifes  were  made  in  the  hi^^her 
oirolei  of  fifteenth  century  Soottiiih  life,  and  hew  they 
were  nntnade,  and  how  txtrcmelv  complicated  were  the 
reUtions  tlint  sometimes  eiis<i«a.  Fr.  Tlieiner'i  most 
preciouc  ^fonumenla  throw  a  doubtful  light  on  nme  of 
these  marrin^c^.  l.yon  King  draws  attention  to  st  least 
one  ca#e— that  (T  tlie  marriage  of  Archibald,  Lord  of 
Ualluway.  with  Joan  ile  Moravia  (p.  cxli) — in  which 
the  accuracy  uf  the  rcatling  of  the  names  of  the  parttes 
to  tbo  dif pensatiun  cited  may  admit  of  queitiun.  We 
(kink  there  can  be  no  doubt  thut  great  adrantage  would 
«  from  a  new  reconiioq  of  Tbeiner,  with  a  special 


Ticw  to  the  names  of  Scottish  persons  and  placei.  The 
Roman  Chftncery  did  not  understand  them,  and  the 
result  is  eoToelimes  an  added  embarrassment  to  the  his- 
torian and  genealogist.  We  lay  down  Lyon  King'g

tion  to  Scottish  record  Ion  and  Scottish  history. 

T^e  Worlt  of  John  Drydm.  Illustrated  with  Notes  and 
a  Life  of  the  Author  by  Sir  WnUer  Scott.  Kevifsd 
and  Corrected  by  George  Sainlsbury.  Voli.  I.  and  II. 
(EdinburiEb,  Faterson.) 
WiiKV,  in  13()S,  Sir  Walter  Scott,  not  then  the  author  of 
WtivtTlttf,  and  having  but  juit  published  Marm\o%j 
issued  hu  eightoeu- volume  edition  of  Drydcn,  there  had 
been  grave  douhti  on  the  part  of  eome  of  hii  frieude 
whether  even  his  skill  and  prciligo  conld  ensure  the 
success  of  the  undertaking.  Hut  the  attempt  whi  speedily 
justified  by  (he  result.  Hallnm  was  reedy  witli  generous 
cuWgy  in  the  Kdinhuvr^h^^n^  even  captious  George  Eflls 
owned  himself  vanquished.  Scott's  Drydtn,  speedily 
became  the  canonical  edition  of  the  poet,  and  ia  likely 
tu  remain  so.  its  large  and  m&fculine  stylo,  its  charm 
of  genial  narratire,  and  its  practical  critical  Judgments 
(rather  divined  than  demonstrated),  all  those,  together 
with  tbo  undiminished  popularity  of  the  writer,  muke 
ila  position  secure  end  hnnourablo.  But  with  lapM  of 
time  even  the  best  editions  require  editing  in  their  turn. 
Not  only  ere  new  facts  added  to  the  old  stock,  and  new 
points  of  view  snggrsted  by  new  investigations,  but  the 
text  which  satiines  one  genei-nlirn  i«  found  to  require 

IiuriGcation  in  another.  What  Mr.  Saintsbury  has  set 
liraself  to  do  in  the  present  roiuue  is  to  cndoaTour^ 
while  respecting  the  labours  of  bis  illuatrioui  predecessor^ 
to  bring  those  labours  donn  to  date,  as  tbo  author  bim* 
self  might  have  done  had  he  been  living  now,  and  to  give 
bis  worlc  the  advantage  of  all  that,  in  an  Interval  of 
nearly  eighty  years,  has  been  accumulated  in  the  way  of 
fresh  light  upon  the  subject  The  text,  which  in  Scott 
is  Rsdly  corrupt  and  diiftgured  by  obvious  misprints,  has 
here  been  carefully  collalo<l  with  thatof  the  first  editions, 
reviled  by  Dryden  himself;  many  valuable  notes,  philo- 
logical and  elucidatory,  have  been  o'ided  ;  and  wherever 
nL'w  facts  or  comments  are  Eirtn  they  appear  in  the  form 
ofappendicts  or  pii'Cff  jtuttfifithv<s.  Thst  Mr.  Suints* 
bury  has  performed  his  lal>oriout  task  with  full  know- 
ledge and  practised  craft Kmonship  no  one  scquainted 
Mith  bis  critical  equipments  will  require  to  he  told.  But 
he  is  even  more  tu  bo  congratulated  upon  tlic  scholaity 

f;ood  (aste  and  ec1f*suppres»ing  reticence  with  which  he 
las  filled  what  ho  modestly  calls  "the  comparatively 
humble  office  of  vcwko/ioc."  Wc  may  add  that  the  flr»k 
volume  contains  a  good  photogravure  of  Dryden  after 
Edetinck's  engraving  of  Kueller  s  portrait.

to  "  the  ftltoration  of  that  chnrch  by  Mr.  Hopkin-

to  the  readera  of  **  N.  &  Q."  filr.  AVilli.im  Hop- 
kinnoD,  F.S.A.,  was  a  solicitor  nt  Stamford,  and 
died  there,  nt  his  residence,  All  Saints'  Place, 
Sept,  1,  Ifle/i,  n;fed  eiKbly-one.  Ilowas  the  eldeiit 
son  of  the  Kov.  S.  E.  Hopkinson,  B.D.t  Rector  of 
Mortou-cum-Hacconby,  Lincolnahire,  and  grand- 
Bon  of  the  Rt'v.  W.  Hopkinson,  Minor  Canon  of 
Peterborough,  ut  tl)e  Qrammnr  School  of  which 
city,  and  also  at  Eton,  Mr.  Hopktnaon  received 
his  education.  One  night  in  ISI8  he  was  detainofl 
&t  hia  London  hotel,  Gray's  Inn  Coffee -houae, 
through  miwing  the  York  mail,  nnd  in  reading 
the  newspaper  noticed  an  advertisement  of  the 
Bale  of  the  Little  Gidding  estate.  Early  in  life  he 
hod  read  Pcckard's  Life  of  Nicholas  Ffrriir^  and 
had  been  fascinated  with  ita  story.  The  next 
morning  he  went  to  the  address  given  for  the  sale 
of  the  estate  ;  and  when  he  returned  to  Stamford 
.cm  the  following  night  it  was  in  tbe  character  of 


porchosed  tho  seven  hundred  acres  that  compos 
the  catutc,  together  with  tho  buildings  upon  it/ 
including  the  old  manor  houbc  and  church.  He  at. 
once  bet  to  work  Lo  drain  and  improve  the  estate  ; 
and  concerning  the  church  he  wrote  to  a  friend  : — 

"  Ai  to  the  dear  little  church,  I  am  re»olTe(I,  through 
the  I>iTiDe  gnce  and  help,  to  do  my  utmost.  Tltfl 
posaeuion  of  this  spot  was  through  an  oxtraordinary 
iii)pul»,  and  I  feci  a  polemn  duty  ia  to  ho  performed 
tgvrards  it.  Let  me  unfold  my  heart,  Ar<l  txpreaa  to  jou 
how  eweot  it  was  to  my  soul  to  join  vi'ith  tire  of  Ood's 
own  servants  in  prayer  in  that  holv  temple.  May  tho 
remombmnco  cheer  mo  in  my  dying  hour  !** 

He  consulted  three  of  his  friends  as  to  what 
should  bo  done  with  tbe  church,  and,  selecting 
Mr.  Glutton  aa  architect,  spent  upwards  of  n 
thousand  ponnds  in  bringing  the  church  into  the 
condition  in  which  visitors  now  see  it^  Mr.  IIop- 
kinson  believed  that  he  was  restoring  tho  church 
to  tho  state  in  which  Nicholas  Fcrrar  had  left  it, 
uud  that  he  was  rejecting  the  inuovalious  made  in 
1714.  In  the  four  windows  of  the  nave  (filled 
with  stained  glass  by  Miller,  of  Brewer  Street)  are 
the  arms  of  Charles  L,  Archbishop  Williams, 
Nicholas  Ferrar,  and  Mr.  Hopklnson,  the  inscrip- 
tion in  this  lost  window  being  as  follows  : — 

"  Piligo  habitaculum  domus  tun;.  loBignia  Qnlielmt 
Hopkinion,  Pomini  Manerii  do  Gidding  Parra,  qui  lianc 
Eccleaiam  rostanmrit,  et  has  fenectru  (sacrum  munui) 
dicaTit,    A.D.  Ifc53." 

Mr.  HopkinsoQ  was  buried,  in  1603,  very  near  to 
this  window.  His  large  property  was  inherited 
by  bis  nephew,  the  Rev.  William  Hopkinson  (only 
son  of  ^I^.  Hopkinson's  only  brother,  Uev.  John 
Hopkinson,  Rcotor  of  Alwalton,  Hunts,  and  Pre- 
centor of  Peterborough),  wh^,  when  Rector  of 
Great  Gidding,  carried  out  tho  restorutiou  of  that 
church,  under  the  care  of  Mr.  James  Fowler,  of 
Louth. 

Mr.  nopklnson  delighted  in  taking  a  party  of 
friends  to  Little  Gidding,  and  there  hospitably 
entertaining  them  ;  and  he  did  so  little  more  than 
six  months  before  bis  death,  viz.,  on  Feb.  22,  ISGd, 
the  anniversary  of  NichoUa  Fcrrar's  birthday. 

One  of  these  parties  visited  Little  Gidding  on 
Oct.  8,  1856,  and  to  ono  of  its  members.  Canon 
James,  Vicar  of  Thedd  ingworth,  must  be  accredited 
a  very  clever  jtu  d'ispritj  of  which  a  copy  was 
given  to  me  by  Mr,  Hopkinson,  whom  I  had  the 
p!ea.'!ore  to  know  during  the  time  that  I  was  curate 
of  Glutton  and  Holme,  and  Rector  of  Denton  and 
Ottldecote.  In  October,  1856, 1  was  in  Worcester- 
shire. The  lines  of  IhninJim  Bmnaby  may  be

THE  STOHY  OF  JAMES  80LA3  DODD,  ACTOR 
AND  SURGEON. 
In  the  year  1782  there  appeared  on  the  Edin- 
bargh  atago  an  actor  who,  whatever  his  powers  of 
theatrical  represetitotion  may  have  been,  seems  to 
hare  attracted  the  attention  of  the  public  not  a 
little  by  the  romantic  story  of  bis  career  from  liia 
earliest  years.  This  actor  was  Mr.  James  Solas 
Dodd  ;  and  amongst  those  who  interested  tbem- 
seWes  in  the  stranger  was  Davtd,  eleventh  Earl  of 
Buchan,  at  that  period  the  chief  p.itroo  of  art  in 
Scotland,  and  a  leader  in  the  litemry  society  of 
the  northern  capital.  Ho  and  bis  brother,  the 
Hon.  Henry  Erukiop,  it  is  well  known,  were  steady 
in  tbeir  patronage  of  the  filage.  Among  Lord 
Buchun's  M3S.  is  the  following  paper,  apparently 
in  the  handwriting  of  James  Solas  Dodd,  and 
compiled,  it  may  be  assnmed,  in  compliance  with 
a  request  by  hia  lordship  for  authentic  pnrticulari 
of  the  actor's  eventful  history.  I  tmnscribe  bis 
narrative  verbatim,  as  it  is  given  in  u  very  oeat 
and  diminutive  hand  : — 

Memoranda  concernxn/j  Jamt$  Solat  Dodd. 

1719.  Mr.  John  Dodd  (who bal  been  MaatorlntheNaTj 
during  Queen  Ann's  Wars)  commanded  the  St.  Quinlen, 
a  Merchnnt  Ship,  tradiiif;  from  Lond<-in  to  Barcelona  ; 
and  being  frtqueritly  in  that  Port  contracted  an  Ao- 

aualritance  with  n  younic  Sp.'iniih  OfTiocr  named  Dun 
Kffo  Mendoso  Vaiconnllos  de  Solit,  Knight  of  the 
Order  of  St.  James  of  Calatrara  and  a  younger  brother 
of  Don  Antortio  do  SoU«,  author  of  the  Hiitory  of 
Uextoo.  Don  Jogo  hnTing  hud  a  rencounter  vith  the 
eon  of  the  OoToruor  of  Barcelona,  and  havios  left  him 
for  dead,  ran  to  Captain  Do  Id's  Ship  for  ibeller  &  it 
being  already  cleared  out,  sailed  in  it  for  London  that 
verr  Kvening. 

1720.  On  the  Ship's  arrival  in  L<^ndon  Don  Jago  con- 
tinued at  Captain  Dodd's  honse  and  married  Miss 
fiebecca  Dodd  hii  dnughter.  whilst  Ms  Pardon  was 
■nlliciting  from  the  King  of  Spain.  On  this  marriage 
Don  Jogo  took  i\n  nAmo  i<f  Dodd  in  order  to  perpetuate 
to  hli  issue  a  small  eftate  near  Kewcaftle-upoti-Tyne. 

1721.  Tlie  sole  lAsae  of  this  Marrisge  wm  a  Son  ;  who

Gospard  to  move  him  in  behalf  of  her  Child,  and 
received  for  Answer  (hat  he  should  take  no  concern 
utiout  her,  but  as  hii  Grandchild  wai  yet  untainted 
with  Uerotioal  principles,  if  she  should  send  bim  over, 
he  should  succeed  to  the  honours  ec  estates  of  the 
family;  but  tbis  Mrs.  Dodd  and  her  relations  peremp*

Thus  the  narrative  of  this  reatleas  and  over- 
triiatful  old  navy  doctor  is  traced  with  much  pre-

THE  OFFICIAL  SEALS  OF  AMERICAN  BISHOPS. 

Tbankfl  to  the  obtigin^'  kindn^sa  and  courtesy 
of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Ilopkiuii,  of  Williamsport,  Pa, 
who  has  spared  no  pains  to  make  the  list  as  com- 
plete as  is  at  present  possible,  I  havo  obtained 
imprfBsions  of  upwards  of  forty  of  the  seals  used 
by  the  bishops  of  the  Protestant  Epiacopil  Church 
in  America,  and  subjoin  a  description.  Tbcy  are 
the  nearest  equivalent,  and  may  seem  to  foruj  a 
fitting  pendant,  to  the  list  of  the  arms  of  the 
colonial  and  missionary  sees  ot  the  mother  cbnrcb 
of  Enf(land,  recorded  in  your  columns  two  years 
since.t

While  honour  is  btiug  done  during  this  week  to 
the  memory  of  the  prince  of  musicians,  it  may 
interest  your  readers  to  see  how,  some  eighty  years 
igo,  fun  could  be  manufactured  out  of  the  idea  of 
Hnndel  festival.  The  squib  which,  with  the 
liote  appended,  I  tmnscribe  literatim,  secma   to 


have  been  printed  at  the  private  press  of  the  Earl 
of  Buchan.  Hia  lordship's  endoraemenl  runs, 
"  Written  by  Charles  Hope,  Father  of  Charles  the 
prosent  Lord  Justice  ClcriL"  Though  it  is  known 
that  the  Bight  Hon.  Charles  Hope  hold  the  office 
in  question  in  Scotland  from  1804  to  1811,  thia,of 
course,  affords  very  slight  evidence  of  the  date  of 
the  piece,  which,  so  far  as  I  am  nware,  bos  not 
been  othetwLie  in  print.

CoKSTiTCTiON  HiLL.— The  qaestion  was  asked 
("N.  &  Q."  3'**  S.  xi.  455),  nad,  I  believe,  never 
aaaivered,  Whnt  wm  the  origin  of  thonnrne  "Oun- 
Blitntion  Hill"?  Now,  in  the  Nov  lliftory  of 
L<nidon^  by  John  Noorthonck,  published  in  1773, 
wo  read,  "  On  the  north-west  Bide  of  the  (^uet'n'a 
mlace  (i.f.,  Buckingham  Palace)  lies  the  Green 
Park,  vbich  extends  between  St.  Jamea'a  Park 
and  Hyde  Park.  The  road  up  to  it,  as  a  fine 
walk,  la  called  Constitution  Ilill."  Now,  waa 
this  merely  a  guess  of  Noorlbouck,  or  can  any 
more  decided  li^ht  be  thrown  upon  the  matter? 
The  050  of  the  word  here  asanmed  ia  akin  to 
"coDStitutionnl"  now  nsed  (and  atorootypcd  in 
that  flense  by  Miss  Blimber)  for  a  walk  as  cxerciee 
for  health  ;  but  it  would  bo  ioteresttng  to  know 
how  long  a  "conatitutional"  has  been  used  in  that 
aenae.  W.  T.  Ltnn,

Him B  Family,  Jamaica.— Can  any  one  give  me 
any  information  about  this  family  ?  They  were  in 
the  parish  of  Trelawny  about  the  middle  of  the 
eighteenth  century,  but  I  cannot  find  whether 
they  had  arms.  There  is  a  monument  mentioned 
in  Archer's  W^-si  Imtvtn  MonuvientaC  luseriptioni 
to  one  of  the  coherre^aes  of  Mr.  Hyoes.  The  arm? 
on  it  are  two  lions  supporting  a  column,  aa  nearly 
as  I  can  recollect ;  but  I  do  not  think  it  ia  the  same 
family,  owing  to  the  final  i,  though  this  may  he  a 
mistake  of  the  stonecutter.  The  family  of  Uine

EanwAKKR. — What  is  the  etymoloiry  of  this 
surname  i  I  am  informed  \<y  Prof.  Kiirle  Ih'tt  near 
Selborno  4be  name  writleu  thus  is  locally  pro- 
nounced KiUliker.  Qy.:  Does  this  pronunciation  re- 
present the  genuine  form  of  the  name?  If  so  the  pro- 
fessor suggests  that  the  word  inaybcof  A.-S.  ongin, 
namely,  from  *Eadv^c<rj  a  watchman  of  wealth, 
6ononim^  ciuios^  a  name  idcnliciil  with  that  of  the 
fimt  man  of  German  bloo<l  who  reigned  in  Italy — 
generally  written  now  Odoac*:rf  in  Jornandea  Odo- 
ViUer^  which  in  Gothic  would  be  A\Ldvitkr>.  For  the 
chanfje  from  d  to  r  in  the  modern  form  Kancakrr 
I  would  compare  WeL  Jor\otrth=^-^.  Efllweitrd,

Ab1BL*8  SoNO,  "  WnSRE  TUB  DBB  accK»."— In 
different  editions  of  Shakespeare  tbo  third  and 
fourth  lines  of  this  exquisite  song  have  various 
punctuations,  thus  entirely  changing  the  sense.  In 
Steevens  and  Bell's  annotated  edition  of  the  Eng- 
lish poets  the  lines  run  as  follows  : — 
"  Where  the  bee  aucks,  there  suck  I ; 

In  a  cowBlip'a  bell  I  lie  ; 
fThore  1  couoh  when  owla  do  cry; 
^  On  the  bat's  back  I  do  fly 
(.After  iuromer  merrily,"  &e.,— 

thus  seeminf;  to  infer  that  Ariel  sleeps  (coitc^rr)  in 
a  cowslip's  bell  when  owla  do  cry,  though  this  is 
contradicted  in  the  next  line,  beciiise  owl^  and 
biUfl  are  abroad  at  the  same  time.  In  V'alpy'a 
edition  (I  mention  those  I  have  by  me)  the  punc- 
tuation, which  I  think  a  correct  ooe^  gives  a 
different  meaninK  :  — 

"  In  a  cowslip'i  hell  I  tie ; 

There  I  coucli.     When  owU  do  ary, 

On  the  bttt'ii  back  I  do  fly 

Afcer  auiiimer  merrily." 

Can  any  reader  give  me  good  authority  for  be- 
lieving that  the  latter  veraion  is  the  correct  one,  or 
that  the  former  uhould  be  preferred  /

Celesline  having  bad  none  (a»/«,  p.  197).  How- 
ever, his  one  idea  aeems  to  be  that  arms  were  used 
to  supply  a  factitious  permanency  to  human  re- 
nown by  placing  them  over  tho  tombs  of  the  dead, 
and  he  does  not  seek  them  anywheie  cUo. 

Ilefner's  new  edition  (begun  in  ISoS  and  atiU  in 
progreea)  of  Siebmacher's  Wappenhuth  is  still 
more  restricted,  and  only  goea  back  four  hundred^ 
years  for  Pontifical  arms.  Tho  earliest  exampl 
he  gives  is  Pius  IH.,  1503;  there  arc  not  man^ 
divergenoiea  from  blazonings  already  i;iven.  Tho*j 
wreaths  of  Julius  III.  bo  calls  LoThuvj  not 
olive.  For  Gregory  XIV.  be  has  some  dilTcrencea 
of  tincture,  thus  :  **  1  u.  4,  in  3.  ein  beider  Seite 
gezinnte  b.  Scbrugbalken  v.  2  b,  Sternen  beseitet ; 
2  u.  3,  in  <t.  aafgr.  Berg  ein  gr.  Baum."  This  trco 
ho  draws  as  a  cypress,  and  every  way  loaos  the 
play  on  the  word  ffrondati  (ante,  p.  197).  The 
beaiiog  on  Urban  Vl[.'e  shield  he  bUz?us  right, 
aa  a  chentnut.  He  gives  thirteen  or  foiirteea 
otbera,  including  a  shield  of  the  vacant  see  between 
Pius  VII.,  November,  1830,  and  Oregory  XVI., 
Febroary,  1831,  taken  from  a  .SVf^iitwcanxumnic, 
tbe  arms  of  the  prelate  who  in  the  interval 
represcnta  tho  Pope  being  surmounted  by  tho 
keys,  but  by  a  bishop's  bat  aud  the  ffonfalon^ 
over  it  in  place  of  the  tiara.  Nevertheless  Menes- 
trier  Bays:  "  Des  que  le  Popo  est  mort  on  ne  re- 
presente  plus  ses  armoiriea  (lu'aveo  lo  Thiare  sana

continuca,  in  the  tone  of  an  eye^witneas,  at  the 
translation  of  the  body  of  Pius  V.  from  St.  Peter's  to 
Sta.  Maria  Mnggiore  ;  but  of  course  he  must  mean; 
only  while  the  body  is  abovo  ground, as  there  ara 
many  examples  of  a  shield  with  the  cross  keys  on 
monuments  besides  that  with  tho  family  arms.  I 
havo  a  fine  engraving  before  rae  now  of  Douatellu'a 
monument  to  John  XX til.  in  the  Baptistery, 
Florence,  where  this  is  the  case. 

The  very  beautiful  monument  to  Gregory  X.,  by 
Margaritone  (1275),  in  the  cathedral  of  ArezKo, 
oeitainly  beara  no  abield,  though  sculpture  is  not 
spared,  and  the  recumbent  figure  of  the  Pontiff 
elumbera  plftcii31y  in  his  aingle-crowned  mitre. 
Duchesne,  however,  gives  him  a  serpent  crowned 
with  a  demy>man  issuing  from  its  mouth.  This  ' 
juat  one  of  those  combated  by  Menestrier.  In  spi 
of  his  sweeping  denunciation,  however,  there  are 
6omo  which  aurely  can  bo  maintained,  and  which 
lecommend  Ihemselvts  as  "armrR  p\rlantC9,"  as, 
for  instance,  the  arras  o(  Adrian  IV.  as  given  by

I  think  I  am  able  to  help  Nfn.  CnAPKAK  in 
solving  this  qneation.  Whilst  examining  a  hirge 
number  of  MSS.  of  an  old  scribe  some  twenty 
years  af;o  I  was  struck  with  the  clearness  and 
le^'ibility  of  the  writinir,  owint(  in  a  great  measure 
to  the  permanent  quality  of  the  ink,  which  had 
not  faded  in  the  le^st,  although  many  of  the  MSS. 
were  at  least  two  hundred  years  old.  It  was  re- 
markable, too,  that  the  writer  must  have  been 
celebrated  in  his  day  for  the  excellence  of  his 
oalligraphy,  for  I  met  with  a  letter  or  two  from 
his  correspondents  in  which  there  was  a  rcouest 
for  the  receipt  of  the  ink  he  used.  J  futuia  his 
receipt.^,  which  I  copied,  and  from  one  of  them, 
dated  in  1654,  I  have,  dnring  the  last  fifteen  years, 
made  all  the  ink  I  have  ni^ed.  The  receipt  is  as 
follows:  Rain  water,  I  gallon;  galls,  bruised,  lib.; 
green  copperas,  Jib.;  gum  arable,  lO.'f  53  13.  Not 
requirinj^  so  lar^e  a  quantity  at  a  time,  I  reduced 
the  proportions  byoDe-eigbth,aod  the  receipt  stands 
Mkas:  Rain  water,  1  pint;  galU,  bruised,  Uoz.; 
Ppeen  copperas,  6  drachms ;  gum  arabic,  10 
drachms.  The  pnlU  must  be  coarsely  powdered 
and  put  into  a  bottle,  and  the  other  ingredients 
and  water  added.  The  bottle,  securely  stoppered, 
is  plated  in  the  li^ht  (sun  if  possible),  and  its  con- 
tents are  stirred  nccasionnlly  until  the  gum  and 
copperas  are  dissolved,  after  which  it  is  enough  to 
abaie  llie  bottle  daily,  and  in  the  course  of  a 
month  or  six  weeks  the  ink  will  be  fit  for  use.  1 
have  ventured  to  add  ten  drops  of  carbolic  acid 
to  the  contents  of  the  bottle,  as  it  effectaally  pre- 
vents the  formation  and  growth  of  mould  without 
any  detriment  to  the  quality  of  the  ink,  so  far  as 
1  know.  T.  W.  W.  a

'*  Kfgii^tr.'ition  ink,"  whicbi  so  far,  has  teemed  to 
nn-^wer  well.  I  at  one  time  used  a  very  black 
ink,  which  necmed  to  be  good,  and  wrote  two 
books  of  MSS.  with  it.  On  taking  them  out  after 
about  six  months,  I  fonnd  all  the  writing  hod 
printed  itself  (of  coarse  backwahis)  on  theopposita 
pige :  the  original  writing  had  not  faded,  but  iho 
printed  side  was  of  a  bright  brown  colour,  and  haa 
quite  destroyed  the  appearance  of  my  bookf,  wbich 
1  can  hardly  write  again.  If  the  other  page  had 
been  written  upon  it  would  have  made  it  qnile 
illegible.  In  Dr.  lire's  Dictuinary  of  Art*,  i\rtiiiM- 
factum^  &o.,  is  given  a  recipe  for  making  ink  as 
followH,  but  this  wa^  published  in  1853,  and  there

gree  the  Bycote  Fowlers  are  said  to  be  descended 
from  two  generations  of  Fowlers  "de  Fowler," 
which  might  lead  one  to  suggest  that  they  were 
Fowlers  of  Fawler,  though  I  think  that  such  an 
explanation  is  out  of  the  question. 

About  temp.  Edward  I.  there  was  a  fiao  of  lands 
in  Fauelore  Lssinton  and  Knyteton,  apparently  in 
Berkshire,  passed  between  Adam  de  Fauelore  and 
Thomas  le  Palmer  {Fed.  Fin.  Indices,  Berkshire, 
1  Rich.  I.;  2  Rich.  III.,  p.  63).  From  that  date 
I  have  no  notes  of  the  name  until  a.d.  1G16,  when 
the  will  of  Edward  Fawler,  of  Littlccott,  in  the 
parish  of  Enford,  Wilts,  yeoman,  was  proved, 
bearing  date  March  13, 1614.  He  mentions  only 
his  daughter  Ann,  widow  of  Simon  Reeve,  and 
her  son,  Fawler  Reeve. 

In  1636  the  Inquisition  p.m.  (11  Oar.  I.,  virt, 
oflf.,  No.  8)  of  John  Fawler,  late  of  Chilton  Foiliott, 
Wilts,  was  taken.  He  was  seised  of  one  messuage, 
one  close,  and  nineteen  acres  in  Chilton,  all  of 
which  were  lately  parcel  of  the  manor  of  Chilton 
FoUiot,  and  (it  is  added  in  another  hand)  are  held 
of  the  king  as  of  his  honour  of  Wallingford.  John 
Fawler  is  his  son  and  heir,  and  UrsiUa  Fawler  is 
hh  widow. 

In  1645  the  will  of  Thomas  Fawler,  of  Oxford- 
shire, was  proved  (P.O.C.,  Rivers,  154), 

In  1661  the  will  of  Robert  Fawler,  of  Hunger- 
ford,  Berkshire,  was  proved  (P.C.C.,  May,  96);  it 
was  dated  Aug.  17, 1660.  He  mentions  his  sisters 
Mary  Liddiard  and  Alice  Fawler  ;  his  kinsman, 
Thomas  Liddiard  ;  his  kinswoman,  Mary  Lid- 
diard ;  his  father,  Robert  Fawler,  of  Chilton, 
Wilts,  deceased  ;  the  two  children  of  his  brother 
Henry  Fawler ;  his  brother,  John  Fawler,  to  be 
residuary  devisee  and  legatee,  and  to  be  executor. 

In  1G80  the  will  of  George  Fawler,  of  Middle- 
Beit,  was  proved  (P.C.C.,  Bath,  163). 

In  1699  the  will  of  Henry  Fawler,  of  Oxford- 
shire, was  proved  (P.O.C.,  Pett,  145).

"Ploughing  Day."— The  custom  mentioned  by 
Mn.  (a>i.eua5  13  UDivenal  throughout  Cheshire 


and  South  Lancasbirc.  I  cannot  speak  an  to 
North  lAincashirc.  The  first  thing  a  farmer  does 
ou  entering  a  new  farm  la  to  have  what  is  called 
a  "  ploughing  day."  He  goes  round  to  all  his 
new  neighbours,  generally  accompanied  by  an  old 
inhabitant,  and  requests  them  to  send  him  a 
te^m  and  a  ploughman  on  some  particul.ir  day. 
The  favour  is  never  refused,  and  eufficient  teams 
assemble  to  get  through  a  fair  amount  of  work  in 
the  day  ;  and  it  is  a  substantial  help  to  the  new 
farmer.  Dinner  is  provided  for  the  men,  and  it  is 
a  pleasant  out  for  them  j  but  they  confiider  it 
infra  ditf.  if  they  are  a%ked  to  do  anything  but  Ity 
plovghingf  that  is,  ploughing  up  grassland,  which, 
of  course,  shows  off  the  skill  of  the  ploughman 
better  than  the  ploughing  of  broken  land  does.

A  day's  ploughing  on  behalf  of  the  new  tenant 
by  the  neighbouring  farmers  is  the  common 
custom  in  the  county  of  Northumberland.  The 
owners  of  the  teams  generally  "  club  up  "  and  give 
a  prize  for  the  neatest  workmanship,  the  ocat 
groomed  horses,  &c.  The  tenant  provides  an 
abundance  of  good  cheer,  and  the  men  usually 
return  borne  "pay  canny."  When  unsuccessful, 
"  What  fettle  ?  "  is  answered  by  "  The  dor'd  thing 
wadn't  gao."  The  man  thus  explains  that  the 
"numb,"  "daft,"  or  sen.'»eleas  plough  waa  not 
under  hia  control,  but  had  "  a  way  of  its  own." 
Not  a  farmer  in  Northumberland  would  neglect 
"  the  call."  Edward  Fitz-Yorkb. 

Liber  Collatiosum  (O^*"  S.  vii.  363,  443). — 
The  example  of  Ibis  book  which  was  used  in  St, 
Andrew's  Priory,  Cornwall,  was  not  long  since  in 
my  possession,  and,  oa  I  remember,  that  at  Ford 
Abbey  was  a  great  deal  larger,  and  must  have 
contained  much  more  in  quantity.  As  we  are  now 
noting  great  rarities,  it  may  be  worth  while  to 
record  among  them  that  1  beliere  that  Mr. 
Maskell  is  not  correct  in  thinking  the  one  of  St. 
Andrew's  to  be  now  in  Lord  Robartes's  library.  ^ 

I  doubt  if  it  is  accurate  to  speak  of  a  certain 
copy  of  this  book,  as  Mr.  Coolidoe  does  of  "  the 
Ford  Abbey  copy^"  and  "  the  St.  Andrew'^  Priory 
copy."  I  believe  they  must  have  been  always 
different  books,  compiled,  however,  upon  the  same 
principle  and  for  the  same  purpose,  for  different 
monasteries.  Mr.  Maskkll  cannot  have  deter- 
mined this  by  comparison,  as  he  appears  to  have 
only  seen  one  of  the  two  that  he  was  able  to  men- 
tion. 

It  now  appears  that  there  is  a  third  at  Mag- 
dalen College,  Oxford.  The  late  Mr.  Cosmo  Innea 
seems  to  have  met  with  the  title  of  another  in  an 
ancient  catalogue  of  books  that  were  formerly  in 
Glw^gow  Catbedru)  {Scotland  in  the  Middle  Aget, 
p.  339).  He  translates  the  title  "  A  Book  of  the 
Collations,"  and  goes  on  to  explain  ifc  as  '^  probably

and  why  was  it  placed  there  ?  Also,  is  there  any 
copy  of  this  large  and  curious  print  to  be  se^n  in

Sbal:  Sigillum  (6"»  S.  vii.  402,  471).— 
In  the  discussion  of  these  words  there  are  some 
slips  in  Latin  philology,  and  some  assumption  of 
the  points  which  should  be  proved.  It  is  certainly 
incorrect  to  say  that  "  the  natural  diminutive  [of 
ngnum]  Hgnacuhim  has  existed  both  in  cla8sic:\l 
and  mediaeval  Latin  from  the  earliest  period." 
Signacuhim  is  formed  from  the  verb  signare^  not 
from  the  nona  M^nnm.  And  it  is  not,  I  thiak, 
an  early  word  at  uU,  not  Augustan,  but  late,  nnd, 
probably,  to  he  accounted  wholly  a  Christian  word, 
from  tignare  in  the  sense  "  to  sign  with  the  croap," 
hence  "  tho  mark  "  or  "  seal  of  the  cross."  Sigil- 
lum  has  the  proper  form  of  diminutive,  tig-inxiUtm^ 
sig-illumf  cf.  Roby,  Latin  Oram.,  vol.  i.  p.  320. 
On  the  other  hand,  sigil-lum,  m  though  "  tigilf 
with  the  case  ending,"  will  not  do  at  all ;  for  no 
Latin  form  $igil  exists,  or  is  explainable,  and  htm 
is  not  a  case  ending.  Again,  o-iyaAw/xa  is  not  cojj- 
iJat*,  see  Curtius,  or  Vanicek,  or  Liddell  and 
Bcott. 

To  assert  that  "  tigil-lum  is  the  same  radical " 
as  Xenophon's  0*17X0$,  is  just  assuming  the  point 
which  is  to  be  proved.  Now,  w/yAo?  is  not  a 
"  Persian  word  "  (nor  does  Xenophon,  Anab.,  i.  B, 
J%nMj  that  it  is),  but  a  word  for  "a  coin  "current 
MA  Minor,  almost  certainly  borrowed  from 
ncuuoim,  Mag  the  Hebrew  ehekal,  for 


which  it  h  uFed  iu  LXX.    There  is  no  dYidenn 
thnt  the  Greeks  adopted  this  trlyXo^  for  genenl 
11SG,  or  the  Latins  either.     Kor  is   there  dny  cri- 
dance  Lhut  the  L:itin  tigiUum  or  tigilla  «v«r  mnnt 
''a  coin'';   in  earlier    pnasng^s  ib  means    "^ little 
images,"  i.e.,  it  is  a  diminutive  of  aignvm  in  IK0 
nense  of  "aB^ntue";  in  L'lter  it  means  "a  seal,' 
i.t.,  it  is  ft  dimimilLre  of  iignum  in  the  sense  of 
"a  mark'' or  "seal." 

Lastly,  the  words,  "  it  is  found  in  every  Teutonic 
Inngufige  from  time  immemorinl/'  bej;  the  que^tioa. 
Cicero  uses  ngiUa  ns  a.  well-known  Latin  word  for 
"little  imagefi,"  "ornaments,"  "a  seal."     Then 
was  ample  time  for  the  things  and  their  name  to 
paE<fl  from  civilijted  Home  to  uncivilized  Trnt«»

*'TuRSiNG  Tiis  Ket  and  thb  Bible  "  (6»*  S.

be  gained  from  the  earlier  contributions  of  writers  in 
"  N.  &  Q."  At  1'*  S.  i.  413,  Ma.  Da.vid  Stevkks, 
of  Godafming,  Surrey,  speaks  of  it  aa  existing  in 
the  neighbourhood,  and  states  that  it  was  the 
practice  to  place  the  street-door  key  on  Ruth  i.  16; 
ne  then  showi  how  the  charm  was  worked  ;  and 
also  says  that  be  bad  seen  the  pniclice  in  other

Cramp  as  an  Adjectivb  (B""  S.  vii.  209).— In 
the  recently  published  Corrapondmce  of  Carlyle 
and  Emerson  this  adjective  is  used  by  both  writers. 
Carlyle  (voL  i.  p.  92),  speaking  of  the  French  Re- 
volution,  writes  thus :  "  My  familiar  friends  tell 
me  further  that  the  book  isiUl  wronfir,  style  cramp,"

his  style  as  a  "  cramp  hand."    TnoMiVS  Bayne.

penny  readings  were  originated  in  Ipswich  by  Mr. 
Bansom,  of  the  foundry  works,  and  not  by  Messrs, 
Qulley  and  Gowing.  During  the  Crimean  war 
Mr.  Bansom  employed  a  large  number  of  hands, 
and  he  got  them  together  on  winter  evenings  and 
read  to  them  Russeirs  graphic  letters  in  the  Times. 
After  the  war  he  continued  the  readings,  taking 
selections  from  various  authors.  An  account  of 
this  was,  I  believe,  written  by  Mr.  GuUey,  editor 
of  the  Ipswich  Journal,  and  published  in  a  small

— The  additional  information  in  regard  to  the  use 
of  eowhe  in  France  and  Switzerland,  in  conjanc- 
tion  with  the  previous  instances,  shows  clearly 
that  the  word  was  widely  distributed  with  the 
definite  meaning  of  valley,  thong^  perhaps  it  maj 
not  be  conclusive  as  to  its  origin.  In  point  of 
form  French  combi  is  consistent  with  its  being 
Latin  cumha,  a  hollow  vessel,  which  in  the  Romance 
langoopes  may  have  been  extended  to  any  similar 
formation,  such  as  a  valley  or  occasionally  a 
rounded  hill.  On  the  other  lumd,  Cymry  may  have 
nothing  to  do  with  comhe,  but,  as  I  conjectured  at 
first,  be  connected  with  A.-S.  eamb — a  view  to 
which  the  forms  Cambria,  Cambrensis  and  place- 
names  containing  the  elements  Camber,  Eimber, 
&C.,  seem  to  give  support.  With  regard  to  the 
antithesis  oUuded  to,  we  have  probably  a  similar 
instance  in  Latin  in  the  words  Latinui  (for 
Flatinos)  and  8ahinu$  (for  Subinus  or  Supinus). 
As  to  the  omission  of  p  in  the  former,  it  is  hardly 
doubtful  that  UUw  (side)  is  the  same  with  Ok. 
vXtxTTif  and  the  change  of  a  for  it  in  the  latter  has 
ft  parallel  in  calyx=Kv\i^,  Thus  Latium  would 
mean  the  flats,  Samnium  the  slopes,  and  Umhrta 
the  highlands.  J.  PAanr, 

CJoLOURS  i!r  THE  Arht  (6^  S.  vii.  2S6,  351, 
429).— QxK.  Bioaud's  instructive  commnnication 
mar  be  supplemented  by  a  few  notes.  Uniforms 
had,  of  course,  their  origin  in  liveries,  and  in 
private  rather  than  in  royal  ones.  Thus  in 
1  ffenry  VL,  L  iii.:  "Enter  Winchester  with 
his  serving  men  in  tawny  coats."  The  Coll.  Arm. 
MS.  quoted  by  Gbs.  Kigaud  should  be  compared 
with  the  account  of  the  Boulogne  expedition  in 
Stow^B  Annala  (ed.  Hawes,  1615),  p.  CB7,  where 
we  learn  that  each  division  of  that  "mightie 
armie"  was  clothed  in  a  distinct  uniform:— 

"  Those  of  the  Forewarde  under  the  Duke  of  Norflulko 
were  apparelled  in  blew  cnatei  gardod  with  redde,  and 
had  caps  and  hoeen  after  the  same  lute,  partie  blew  and 
partie  redde:  The  Battsvle  under  the  l>ulce  of  Suffullie 
HI  coatee,  cappes,  and  nosen  in  like  manner,  but  the 
colours  blewe  k  yellow." 

As  to  the  white(?)  uniform  being  changed  in  1584 
to  "  some  motley  or  other  sadd  grene  coUer  or 
rasset,"  it  may  be  noted  that  when  a  force  was  sent 
to  the  help  of  the  United  Provinces  in  1585,  Enex 


contributed  one  hundred  and  fifty  men,  of  whom 
eight  were  sent  from  Colchester,  the  cost  of  "  their 
eight  hltu  coata  or  Mandilions  "  being  GL  G«.  Bd. 

Some  nseful  hints  on  the  colours  in  the  Parlia- 
ment's armv  will  be  found  in  Vicars's  Jehovah 
Jir^  (1614).  He  mentions  the  red  and  blue 
regiments  of  the  train  bands,  the  purple  coats  of 
Brooke,  the  red  coats  of  Roberts,  the  grey  coats 
of  Bollard,  and  the  red  coats  of  Holies  (who  op- 
posed Rupert  at  Brentford).  As  this  last  was  a 
London  regiment,  it  may  have  been  the  above  red 
regiment  of  the  train  bands.  The  militia  seem  to 
have  been  duly  uniformed  as  well  as  the  regular 
army,  and  it  would  seem  from  the  tract  ColcheiUr'M 
Teara  (1648)  that  the  Suffolk  militia  wore  green 
coats.  On  the  royalist  side  Lord  Loughborough's 
well-known  blue  coats  have  not,  I  think,  been 
mentioned.  It  is  to  be  wished  that  some  one  who 
has  special  knowledge  of  the  period  would  explain 
clearly  whether  the  regular  army— the  New  Model 
— wore  *'  buff  jackets  "  or  armour  over  these  coloured 
"  coats  "  (as  the  Colchester  soldiers  of  1685  seem 
to  have  done),  and  also  whether  scarves  were 
generally  worn.  They  would  naturally  be  worn 
over  armour  in  cases  where  no  uniform  was  visible, 
but  I  presume  they  may  also  have  been  worn  over 
coloured  coats,  when  the  same  colours  were  found 
on  both  sides,  to  distinguish  the  opposing  ranks, 
much  as  the  arm-band  or  other  badge  used  in  our 
own  sham  fights.  J.  H.  BouerD.

Oarkw's  "Survey  of  Cornwall"  (&^  S.  viL 
27, 76).—"  Darbye's  bonds."— Your  correspondents 
at  the  latter  reference  have  failed  to  notice  that 
whilst  "  darbies  "  was  a  slang  term  for  fetters  or 
handcuffs  "darby"  was  used  as  a  slang  equivalent 
for  ready  money.  The  passage  from  Carew's  Survey 
of  Comicall,  as  well  as  those  quoted  ante,  p.  76, 
seems  to  point  to  the  latter  explanation.  Why 
ready  money  was  so  ciilled  I  cannot  say,  unless 
"father  Derby"  was  some  noted  usurer  of  the 
sixteenth  century.  To  show  the  probability  of  my 
suggestion  I  ask  ponnisHion  to  quote  the  whole  of 
the  passage  from  Oreene'd  Quip  for  an  Upttart

of  Berkeley  and  of  its  Inhabitants.  By  John  Smyth, 
of  Niblcy.  Edited  by  Sir  John  Maclean.  Vol.  I. 
(Gluuceater,  Beilowi.) 
Wkowo  this  tine  volume  to  the  Glouceitenhire  Arclia-i}< 
logical  Society.  i»tudcnts  have  for  the  last  two  centuricr 
lonjjed  Tor  a  siitht  of  tliia,  one  of  the  chief  treasures  of 
tlio  charter  room  in  Berkeley  CaUle,  but  until  now  tbeir 
def^trea  have  not  been  grntitled.  It  U  true  that  in  I8*J1 
Kosbroke  printcil  a  series  of  extncts  from  ihii  precious 
roaniJ*cript:  but  without  wishing  in  anyway  to  depre- 
ciate the  I-tbouri  of  thostt  who  have  gone  before  aa,  wo 
may  my  that  his  book,  though  containinf?  much  that  is 
of  grcKt  interest,  was  in  no  way  calculated  to  quench  tlis 
thirst  thftt  all  genuine  students  have  had  for  the  full  tfxt 
of  the  nriginnl.  It  is  a  book  that  is  absolutely  unique; 
no  otber  great  Iinu<>c  in  Britain  baa  ev«r  bnd  an  biatoriaD 
in  any  way  tocouipnre  with  John  Sni>tb,  of  Niblcy.  Tbc 
historian  and  tho  race  hsvo  been  efjuully  foituniite.  In 
dealing  wiih  ibe  few  great  houses  which  yet  oici«;ing  In 
our  midst  can  trace  tbeir  lino  tbrough  malea  up  to  a 
period  beyond  tbo  Norman  conquest,  Berkeley  stands 
forth  pre-eminent  in  the  firit  rank.  Families  cannot 
justly  bo  estimated  by  their  antiquity  ulone  ;  inducnco, 
power,  intellect,  mart  ia;;cs,  tlie  situation  of  their  e^titep, 
and  otlier  circunistancea  too  numerous  to  mention,  at! 
conjoin  to  invest  the  successive  owners  of  the  great 
oastle  of  Berkeley  with  an  interest  which  cannot  nttacb 
Itself  to  some  of  the  very  few  other  mces  wbtcli  tnav 
justly  claim  an  equal  antiquity.  Tbc  origin  of  the  fitiuily 
loses  itielf  in  fable.  Wo  are  t^ld  that  Hording,  the 
founder  of  the  house  of  Berkeley,  was  the  ion  of  a  king 
of  Denmark.  This  legend  cannot  be  tmoed  bnck  beyond 
}361|  and  in  ibe  form  in  wbioh  it  hai  oome  down  to 


us  must  he  falio.  Harding's  fnther  was  ALnod,  or 
£a1dnoth,  the  stallcr—tbat  Is,  wo  spprohond,  inaiter 
of  the  horse— to  Elward  the  Confessor,  Harold,  Knd 
the  Conqueror.  Thus  much  is  proTod.  Of  Alnod'a 
ancestry  we  know  nothing.  He  was  evidently  an 
important  person,  and  it  may  be  possible  that  an  an- 
cestor of  bis  may  have  been  a  son  of  some  Scandinavian 
kinglet.  This  is,  however,  the  merest  guessing.  From 
the  days  of  Harding  down  to  the  present  owner  of 
Berkeley  Castle  every  link  in  the  chain  of  pcdigreo  is 
fully  proved.  Wo  mu3t  not  permit  our  rcndors  to  havo 
the  impression  that  Smyth's  labours  were  merely  genea- 
logical. He  took  a  much  wider  riew  of  history  than 
many  of  his  Inferior  succenors  havo  done.  Uispagei 
overflow  with  illustrations  of  old  manners  and  customs, 
notei  aa  to  practices  of  agriculture,  the  prices  of  articles, 
and,  indeed,  almost  on  every  possible  subject  that  can  be 
mado  to  relate  to  the  maoageroont  and  state  of  a  noble 
houceholJ.  A  commentator  might  well  compile  a  volume 
of  notes  and  iljustratinni  which  should  exceed  the 
original  in  bulk,  t^ir  John  Maclean  has  discharged  his 
functions  of  editor  in  an  excellent  manner.  The  varia- 
tions in  tho  text  between  the  two  manuscripta  of  t^myth'a 
work  which  exist  are  carefully  noted,  and  the  printing  ta 
executed  in  a  manner  that  lerives  nothing  to  be  desired. 
We  trust  that  when  this  great  work  ba4  been  completed, 
the  houaeluild  bo'ks  and  ntber  treasures  which  the 
Berkeley  charter  tower  is  reported  to  contain  may  be 
given  to  tho  public  in  an  equally  scholarllkc  and  magni- 
ficent form.

Nicholas's  oorrespondenoe  with  his  son-in-law  is  written 
in  cipher,  but  the  news-letters  wrre  generally  so  worded 
as  to  pi,*a  for  lottens  bbcut  mnttors  of  buainest,  nod  tho 
current  phrases  of  trade  wore  used  to  convey  political 
intrlligence.  Tho  stringent  policy  of  tbo  Government, 
wliicli  bad  lately  prohibited  ejected  ministers  from 
preaching  and  from  acting  as  chaplains  or  Khoolmastera 
in  families,  created  great  discontent,  and  the  HoyaUste 
wera  encouraged  by  the  growini;  unpopularity  if  the 
Protector  and  by  tbe  prospect  of  a  war  with  Spain  to 
deriso  new  plots  and  conspiracies.  But  Cromwell  waa 
fully  alive  to  his  danger,  and  took  precautions  accord- 
Ingty.  He  could  depend  on  tho  ntnjority  of  his  officers^ 
vrho  approved  of  making  the  oOice  of  I'rolector  here- 
ditary in  hi!  fumity,  and  he  was  well  served  both  at 
home  and  abroad  by  spies,  who  kept  him  informed  of  all 
the  Koyaliftt  designs,  and  enabled  him  to  defeat  them. 
Uii  personal  safety  was  secured  by  Ibe  protection  of 
a  regimeutof  Life  Guards,  wbotte  pay  wai  liberal  be- 
yond precedent.  The  captain  had  'ZSj.  a  day.  and  everj 
private  soldier  4i.  a  day,  and  moreover  tbe  Life  Guartu 
anJDjed  privileges  unknown  to  tbe  law  in  being  exempt 
from  ordinary  jurisdiction.  For  example,  a  bailifl'  wiio 
arrested  one  of  them  was  himself  taken  into  custody  by 
order  of  Council,  and  a  London  citizen  who  arrested 
imnther  of  them  wf>8  called  to  account  by  tbo  captain  of 
thegunrd.  But  whilst  tbc  army  waa  faithful  to  Crom- 
well, there  wos  so  much  discontent  in  the  navy  that  i( 
wai  difiionlt  to  get  seamen  enough  to  man  the  tleet. 
Complaints  were  made  from  tho  leaports  that  the  local 
authorities  gave  no  effectiTc  asMStance  to  the  preas- 
gangi,  and  it  waa  currently  believed  by  the  Royaliste 
that  tlie  fleet  would  declare  for  the  king  if  they  had

aecm  rendered  the  more  easy  by  tbo  existenco  of  hii 
hitherto  Kcarct-ly  known  Mexican  corgener.  The  ques- 
tion as  to  the  exietencc  of  tbc  borao  in  America  before 
its  discovery  by  Europeans  isaet  forthwith  well-balanced 
argumenta  pro  and  con  in  a  diacusaion  on  Prof,  Letdy's 
notice  of  facts  which  he  considers  favourable  thereto, 
Prof.  Cope sidingwith  and  Pn>f.  Lewiaagainsttbeaffirma- 
(ivo  view.  The  caution  ui^d  by  Pro^  Lewis  aa  to  the 
reception  of  alleged  evidences  for  pro*gIacial  man  oer> 
lainly  defcrvoa  careful  attention. 

Wb  have  received  a  paper  by  Mr.  William  E.  A.  Axon, 
reprinted  from  the  AfaHchetUr  Quaricily,  entitled  OiafAa 
^ialiL  at  n  Siyn  of  Contract.  It  seems  that  among  some 
ancient  deeds  recently  exhibited  before  the  .Manchester 
Literary  Club  is  one  in  which  a  twisted  bit  of  reed  Li 
embedded  in  the  wax.  The  gentleman  who  exhibited 
theao  manuecripta,  who  is  an  accompliahed  arcbsooloKiit, 
had  not  prerionely  met  with  an  example  of  thia  land, 
and  SBid  that  ho  did ''not  know  the  object  for  which 
thifl  waa  done."  Mr.  Axon  baa  endeavoured  to  explain 
the  object  of  this,  and  baa  collected  aome  curious  informa- 
tion. Mr.  Wacray,  in  bis  Notts  from  the  AfanvMripU 
of  SI.  Maty  MagdaUn  Collojt^  Oxford,  gaya  that  in  that 
collection  "  straws  wound  round  aeals  are  common,"  and 
that  hi  some  inatancea  small  green  leaves  are  affixed  to 
tho  aeala.  Tlieae  paasagei  do  not  seem  to  hare 
under  Mr.  Axon's  sotlee.

"NOTES  ON  PHRASE  AND  INFLECTION." 
In  the  cnrrent  number  of  Good  Words  (Jane) 
there  is  fin  article  nnder  the  above  title,  by  Mr, 
Godfrey  Turner,  commenting^  from  a  gramma- 
tical point  of  view,  on  a  number  of  phrases  in 
ordinary  use,  some  of  which  are  defended,  but  the 
oreater  part  etroDf^ly  coodemned.  The  subject  ia 
interesting  and  curious,  and  oa  the  writer  haa 
called  public  attention  to  hia  views,  he  cannot 
object  to  the  inquiry  being  continued,  and  the 
reaults  at  which  he  has  arrived  being  further  tested, 
have  DO  wiah  to  indulge  in  captious  criticism. 
It  ia  my  deaire  to 

"  Nothlrg  oxtcDutto  nor  set  down  angbt  in  nalico." 

The  tirst  phrases  referred  to  are  "  in  respect  to," 

"in  respect  of."   Fleming  (Anctlym  of  the  I^nglish 

jAinpiagt)  and  Marsh  {Lectures  on  the  English 

J^angiiage)  are  quoted  as  condemning  "in  respect 

of "  aa  a  gross  violation  of  £ngli»h  grammar,  as 

l>ad  aa  to  write  "  relatively  of ''  and  "  in  reference 

of."    Mr.  Tumor  defends  the  cxpreasiona,  making 

a  rigid  distinction  between  them.     He  says,  *'  We 

ay  *  in  respect    of  '  when    the    object   or  idea 

is  concrete,  de&nite,  or  single ;  and  we  aay  'with 

espect  to '  when  we  refer  to  a  general  proposition, 

r   sometbisg  wide,  abstract,  or  debatable."     I 


confess  I  am  not  sufliciently  acute  to  comprehend 
this  subtle  distinction.  I  should  put  the  ([uestioii 
ia  a  much  simpler  form.  Helped,  an  everybody 
knows,  originally  meaot  "to  look  again.^  When 
a  thing  or  person  intereBta  ns,  we  torn  to  take  a 
aeconcT  glance,  Tbia  may  ariae  from  either  of  two 
motives  :  we  may  desire  to  give  eeriooB  considera* 
tion  to  the  matter,  or  we  may  merely  wish  to 
know  the  thing  or  person  again.  Transferred 
from  this  primary  and  rudimentary  Idea,  the  same 
principle  will  apply  in  the  ordinary  course  of  life. 
If  by  reaped  we  mean  consideration,  the  preposi- 
tion shoold  be  o/,  rince  the  consideration  arisei 
out  of  the  Bubjeot.  If  we  merely  mean  Ttftrenet, 
recurrences  then  to  would  be  right.  The  Utter 
senso  seems  to  have  grown  up  aince  ShakeflpeBTe|i 
time.  "Kospect  to"  is  not  found  in  any  of  his 
pUtys,  though  *' in  respect  of"  is  very  coranion, 
several  instances  of  which  are  given  by  Mr. 
Turner ;  in  all  of  them  consideration  might  be 
substituted  for  rasped. 

"  Tbero'a  the  rttptct 
That  midceK  calamity  of  m>  long  life/* 

We  should  now  say  consideration.  Where  wo 
now  say  "with  respect  to  "  Shakespeare  uses  '*  in 
regard  of  ":  "  In  regard  of  causes  now  in  band," 
"  In  which  regard^  though  I  do  hate  him,"  &c. 

Terrorisriu — Mr.  Turner  inquires,  "Whatforoe 
haa  this  abominable  coinage  that  the  word  terror 
lacks  V  I  answer,  "  A  great  deal."  Terror  is  an 
amotion  of  the  mind  ;  terrorism  is  the  state  of 
things  which  causes  that  emotion.  It  ia  explained 
by  our  lexicographers,  "  The  act  of  one  who  ter- 
rorizes **  (Ogilvie) ;  "  A  state  of  being  terrified  " 
(Webster).  Neither  Johnson  nor  Richardson  gives 
the  word,  which  ia  of  modern  introduction.  The 
termination  -ism  implies  the  concrete  of  an  abstract 
quality,  doctrine,  or  condition.  So  Catholic^ 
Oitholicism  ;  deBpot=de8potiam  j  barbarou»=bar- 
barism;  witty^^wittioiem,  &c. 

Later  un.—Mr.  Turner  says,  "I  will  meet  you 
later."  **Is  that  not  auificieDt?"  Sciircely  so. 
Later  than  what?  Later  is  a  comparative,  and 
requires  something  specific  to  compare  it  with.  If 
I  ask  a  friend  to  come  at  seven  o'clock,  and  ho 
replies,  "  No,  I  will  come  later,"  I  am  immediately 
led  to  inquire,  *'  At  what  time  i"  If  he  says,  "I 
will  come  later  on,"  I  at  once  gather  that  the  hour 
of  his  coming  ia  unoertaiu  and  indetinite.  On, 
when  added  to  verbal  expressions,  such  as  "coming 
on,"  "running  on,"  "  going  on,"  implies  continuity 
and  indefiniteness ;  and  "  later  on,'*  though  not 
verbal,  ia  connected  with  some  action  expressed 
by  a  verb.  We  may  feel  certain  that  the  intro- 
duction of  such  cVca  TrTipo€VTa  into  our  oonveisa- 
tion  and  language  had  a  meaning  and  supplied  a 
want. 

i'ttrnf.— Mr.  Turner  exclaims,  "  What  a  word  I 
We  have  here  positively  the  only  instance  of  an 
Attempt  to  make  a  noun,  by  this  clumsy  iiiBe«tioD|

OTPff=Grnft.—OTafUd,  Mr.  Turner  Bays.  "  is

likely,  if  we  are  all  to  be  purists  or  p^iritists, 
whicheTer  Mr.  Turner  pleaaes;  but  wc  may  shelter 
onrtelyea  under  the  great  authority  of  Sh&keipeare. 
Poor  Queen  Anne  of  Bohemia  uayp,  "  I  would  the 
plants  thou  grufUi  may  never  grow'';  and  we  may

«•  Wo  hiiv«  iKimc  old  crabtrecB  here  at  home  that  rr\\l  not 
Be  gnt/Ud  to  your  mlith." 

A  nmiiij :  Many  a.— Mr.  Tumei  defends  the 
Dse  of  ^*  a  many,"  in  which  I  a^ree  with  biiQ.  Its 
mc  and  application  are  a  sufficient  authority.  I 
must,  however^  join  issue  with  him  in  his  explana- 
tion of  "Many  b,"  which  I  am  unable  to  uudcr- 

•tand.  He  says,  "A  ia  no  longer  anarfaicle but 

baa  become  a  preposition,  variably  equivalont  to 
of,  otij  atf  or  in.''  He  further  compares  it  with 
the  a  in  Thomaa  h  Becket,  Jack-u-Lent,  &e.,  Rnd 
in  such  phraces  as  a-huvgend,  a-thirst,  aud  with  its 
addiliou  to  the  present  participles,  as  n-coui-ttn^, 
a-hunting,  &c.  tie  is  here  brioging  into  com- 
parison things  which  have  no  relation  whatever  to 
eaoh  other.  Many  a  man  means  a  number  of 
men  ;  goinff  a-conrting  has  no  reference  what- 
ever to  number ;  it  merely  describes  the  act, 
in  wbat«Ter  furui  it  may  take  place.  A-hnn- 
gtrtdj  athint  are  the  rvimiins  of  the  old  Teu- 
tonic aiiuojent,  expressed  in  German  hy  gf,  and 
iu  Old  Kugiifh  hy  y,  ycUpt,  yhorne,  &c.  It  is  not 
ditlicuJt  to  divine  the  way  in  which  the  idiom 
inany  a  grew  into  use.  Manig  or  mKnig,  in 
German  and  Anglo-Saxon,  used  Bubstantively 
meant  a  mnUiiude;  used  adjectively,  vxany.^  De- 
rides its  plural  and  collective  use,  it  was  employed 
distribulivety  to  describe  the  separate  action  of 
several.  Manch,  which  is  the  modern  German 
form  of  the  word,  used  in  the  singular  is  the  exact 
equivalent  of  Kng.  viany  a.  Manchtr  Mann^ 
many  a  man  ;  viancJu  Md7incrf  many  men.  Now 
ftiatiy-a  is  simply  the  A.-3.  7nanigaj  the  nomi- 
native case  of  tnanig,  softened  down  from  g  to  y^ 
aa  is  very  usual  in  our  language,  and  means  precisely 
the  same  as  Ger.  mancker  Mann,  The  a  is  not  an 
addition,  but  a  survival  of  the  ancient  form. 
Mr.  Turner  says,  "  Many  as  a  noun  is  old  Fitnch  ; 
to  wit,  memie,  a  coo^ity  or  multitude.  Id  Lba 
L^brMe  'a  many  men'  wo  olide  the  preposition  "/. 


Supplying  that,  we  read,  *  a  many  of  men*;  thai 
is,  a  7nc4n%4  Or  multitude  of  men."  It  would  bt 
diflictilt  to  imagine,  if  one  had  not  seen  it  in  print, 
tbut  any  one  covild  seriously  maintain  that  ia 
"  many  men  '*  we  have  one  part  of  speech  and 
in  "  a  many  men  "  we  have  auother.  Mt 
many  have  no  connexion  whatever.  Mten 
not,  and  never  did,  mean  a  multitude, 
gives  it ''  a  family,  a  faouFchold."  Littro  expl 
H,  "  Lcs  gens  de  la  maison,  de  la  suite."  It  if 
derived  from  Lat.  mamxo,  a  dwelling,  a  place  o( 
abodf.  In  the  Frompiorium  Farvulontm^  An, 
1440,  mentj  is  given  as  the  equivalent  of  familia^ 
In  Jaiuieaon's  Scottish  Dictionaryy  minyie  ta  ex< 
plained  "  the  persons  constituting  ono  family.' 
Mr.  Tumor  says  that  "many  a  man"ia  exa<«y 
paralleled  by  the  French  familiar  phrase  **^lhf 
sicurs  de."  It  may  be  my  iguoraucc,  but  I  have  bfit 
accustomed  to  coosider  that  the  French  eqnivaleol 
for  many-rtwas  "plus  d'un**;  "plus  d'un  homme^* 
many  a  man  ;  **  plus  d'une  fois,"  many  a  tinier 
Maint  has  niuch  the  aame  signification:  '* 
homme,"mftny  a  m&D.  Flviieuri  does  not 
raany^  but  Beveral.  "Plnsieum  de  "  may  be  i 
familiar  phraae,  but  I  confess  I  have  never  yet  mri 
with  it.  "  Plusioura  de  personnes"  would  souod 
quite  aa  awkwardly  in  French  as  "  aeveral  d 
persona  "  in  English. 

Enough  J  however,  for  the  present     With  thi 
Editor's  permisaion  I  will  resume  the  snVj^ot.

KCCLBSIOLOOT     OP      NoBTHEEK     GcitKANT.— I 

lould  be  uitichobliffed  if  any  of  your  readers  who 
ive  made  ecclesiological  explorations  in  North 


Germany  would  kindly  give  mo  a  few  hints  about 
a  district  which  is,  I  believe,  very  scantily  known. 
I  refer  more  particularly  to  the  tract  of  co\(ntry 
lying  between  Hamburg  and  StraUund,  which 
embraces  the  greater  portion  of  Mecklenburg 
Schwerin,  and  which  I  hope  to  visit  this  autumn. 
Tbe  principal  towns  along  this  route  would  b« 
Hamburg,  Liibeck,  Schwerin,  Wismar,  Rostock, 
and  Stralsund  ;  but  I  imagine  that  those  who 
know  this  country  may  be  able  to  tell  me  of  other 
smaller  and  equally  interesting  plsces  in  the 
district,  concerning  which  tbe  guide-books  say 
nothing.  I  intend,  if  posssible,  to  make  this 
journey  on  a  bicycle,  a  means  of  travelling  which  I 
have  before  proved  to  be  almost  invaluable  to  the 
eoclesiologist  when  on  the  Continent,  as  it  enablea 
him  to  go  across  country  and  explore  the  unbeaten 
paths,  thereby  frequently  making  many  very 
pleasing  archfi^ological  diacoveriea.  A  fairly  good 
road  ia,  however,  required,  and  I  shall  be  grateful 
if  any  of  your  readers  will  give  me  some  informa* 
tion  upon  this  i>olnt,  and  supply  me  with  the 
correct  English  equivalents  of  Kuoststrassen, 
Poststrassen,  Hsndelsstrassen,  and  Verbindangs

history  of  this  colony  and  it4i  numcrons  dependen-

There  are  few  books  treating  spcciiilly  of  the

books  of  Toyagea  and  travels  and  magazine  articles. 
A  good  many  pamphlets  and  newspapf^r  nrtides

effects  of  the  abolition  of  slavery  in  the  colony  ;

Puny. — In  seeking  to  discover  an  early  use  of 
this  now  common  word,  I  quoted  (3^  S.  ix.  59) 
Bai]ey*s  Dictionary,  1764,  where  it  is  deSoed  u 
'^a  little  Scotch  horse."  Upon  this  C.  Thiri- 
OLD  (p.  474)  observed  that  the  same  deflnitioD  was 
in  an  earlier  edition  of  B:uley,  that  of  1736.  Cnn- 
nlngham,  in  his  Handbook  of  London^  1850,  under 
the  head  "Paris-Garden  Theatre,"  describing  the 
cruel  sports  formerly  carried  on  there,  says,  "  Oa 
one  occasion  we  hear  of  a  pony  baited  with  dogs "; 
but  he  gives  neither  the  name  nor  the  dat«  of  the 
relater,  so  that  one  cannot  tell  whether  the  word 
pony  was  actually  used  to  designate  the  small 
horse  so  tnrturod.  An  early  instance  of  pon^f 
occurs  in  Mr.  Reid's  "Excerpts  from  the  Diary 
of  Andrew  Hay  "  (aH<«,  p.  163),  "  I  caused  hrini 
home  the  poxfffiy  and  atuggeil  him."  This  is  dated 
1659.  Jumieson  gives  ponaidh  as  the  Uaelic  word, 
and  Armstrong,  in  his  Gaelic  Diciionary,  has 
'^ponntiih  (provincial),  a  poney  "j  bat  he  does  not 
say  whether  this  is  originally  Gaelic,  or  whether  it 
is  only  the  Highlander's  way  of  pronouncing  the 
Lowlander's  word.  Will  some  Goolio  scboUr  ex-

Leo   X.— Concerning  the  Medici  arms,   Sieb- 

macber  is  the  only  author  I  b«ve  met  who  treats 

trrioMihj    the    popular   prattle  about   the   pills. 

De  U  Colombi^re  says : — 

"  Qusnt  A  rorifiino  do  cee  bou1o^  cjle  vient  d'an  ren-

Gellot  definos  mora  particnlarly  thus,  "CesTonr- 
teaux  ^Ukienk  anciennemcnt  de  Gneulee,''  because 
the  plant  in  righting  him  left  the  bloody  mark  of 
the  five  balls  on  bis  shield.  Both  he  and  De  la 
Colombi^re  also  report  that  "Utourteau  d'azur 
cb&rft^  de  3  Reur^de-lys  d'or  fat  une  concession  do 
Louis  XIL  a  Pierre  de  Medicis  If.  pour  avoir 
suiri  son  party  en  Italie."  This  expedition  was 
from  1-199  at  Milan  to  1505  at  Nsplee.  Thus 
tho  monnmcnt  in  San  Lorenzo  by  Donatello  to 
Qiovanni  de'  Medici,  who  died  1428,  is  without 
it. 

Adrian  "VT. — De  la  Colombiere  aays  ooDoeming

Among  the  mottoes  praised  by  Petrassanota  for 
corresponding  with  the  annorial  baarinn  is 
one  devised  for  Clement  VII.  (Medici)  by 
Dom.  Buonensegni,  consisting  of  a  crystal  ball  with 
the  sun  shining  throngh  it  and  burning  the  trunk

diacuBsion,  for,  presumably,  itn  details  arc  at  the 
fiogera*  ends  of  all  atudenteof  Devoofihirc  arcbico- 
logy.  And  I  must  venture  to  recall  Mr.  Botle 
from  tbe  cloud  of  side  issues  into  which  he  has 
wandered  back  to  tbe  original  qaostioD  on  which 
this  inquiry  wm  ostensibly  beRun,  vi/.,  **  to  oak  if 

F'*'8taDC«a  are  known  of  a  wife's  arms  taking  the 
ace  of  A  huaband'a"  ("  N.  &  Q./'  (>"•  S.  vi.  -185). 
In  the  unfortunate  heraldry  of  uiy  book  he 
found  two  such  examples  cited — three,  really,  iu 
number— ono  on  the  tomb  at  Ashwater  accurately 
confirmed  in  the  window  at  Wolborough,  and  tbe 
other  also  in  tbe  window  at  Wolborougb.  Tbcsc 
exist  aa  facts  beyond  controversy,  nor  can  the 
Jieraldic  perception  of  Mr.  Botlr  diveat  them  of 
their  meaning—that  of  a  wife's  arms  taking  the 
place  of  her  husband^s.  This  contention  being 
d  if  posed  of,  the  field  of  controversy  is  narrowed 
to  the  qneetion,  To  whom  shall  be  assigned  No.  1 
in  the  Courtenay  window  at  Wolboiough  ?— Joan 
the  mother,  or  John  her  son. 

Taking  all  the  surroundings  of  the  matter  into 
consideration,  I  will  be  bold  enough  to  claim  it  as 
that  of  the  fltrong-tniudcd  Joan  and  her  hnaband, 
and  that  the  spirit  of  that  self-willod  personage 
caused  it  to  be  placed  there  ;  and  for  this  I  will 
give  my  reasons  (such  as  they  are),  and  show  how 
the  fiuartering  confirms  them. 

To  thoae  who  know  tbe  story  of  Joan  there  is 
weight  even  tu  the  precedence  it  takes— a  oon- 
aciousnees  or  assertion  of  position  among  her 
father's  kindred  which  she  was  entitled  to  in  this 
their  family  window,  for  Jo^n  was  a  Courtenay  of 
^tho  whole  blood,  but  the  widow  ladies  bcloW|  berl 


sister-in-law  and  step-mother,  were  only  so  by 
alliance.  But  as  her  relations  take  distinotion  by 
placing  the  coats  of  their  respective  families  in 
tGe  place  of  honour,  as  it  were — Joan  could  not 
afford  to  be  behind  in  snoh  coospaoy — as  heiress 
of  her  mother  she  would  unquestionably  wish  to 
claim  her  position  as  such,  and  keep  pace  in 
cmpfaaBia  with  tbe  shields  below,  especially  aa 
her  half-brother's  wife  was  of  similar  distinctioa 
in  this  particular.  But  Joan  was  precluded  from 
impaling  ber  mother's  arms  with  her  husband's! 
here — the  blood  of  Courtenay  intervened — and  so 
she  cleverly  adopts  the  true  and  legitimate  course 
open  to  her,  she  iinarters  them,  to  show  her  posi- 
tion b;  descent,  and  occupies  her  half  of  tbesnicld 
by  another  method. 

In  the  Archedekne  window  on  tbe  opposite  side, 
among  her  mother's  own  kith  and  kin,  there  Joan 
Courtenay  significantly  leads  the  procewion  of 
shields,  nnd  closes  it  bcraldically  after  her  two 
aunts,  by  imp:dcmcDt  only  of  ber  mother's  arms 
with  her  husband's ;  had  she  followed  received 
rules  she  would  undoubtedly  have  quartered  them 
with  Courtenay ;  but  tradition  tells  us  in  many 
ways  they  were  none  of  Joan's  study  apart  from 
heraldry.  To  me  the  whole  story  of  the  windows 
wears  an  aspect  of  great  simplicity  and  oneness  of 
purpose,  very  apparent  to  the  spectator  who, 
standing  in  tbe  cave  of  Wolborougb  Church, 
looks  light  and  left  at  the  heraldic  history.  And 
I  am  content  to  leave  it  to  the  judgment  of  readers 
of  "  N.  &  Q."  if  the  foregoing  impresaious  do  not 
carry  with  them  .is  fair  a  warrant  of  probability  as 
the  marvellous  aurmiao  of  Mr.  Bovlg,  that  the 
young  De  Vere,  Joan's  son,  should  here  have 
elected  to  associate  his  coat  armour  with  that  of 
his  step- grand  mother  and  half-aunt.  Even  su^)- 
posing  he  did,  would  he  have  omitted  to  plao* 
Courtenay  in  one  of  the  quartcra  f  AVhat  becomet 
of  received  rules  here  ?— for  he  could  have  no 
excuse  for  their  infraction,  and  was  surely  not 
ashamed  of  their  blood, 

A  short  notice  of  the  Archedekne  window  and 
other  ancient  stained  gloss  remaining  may  be 
added.  The  Archedekne  series  are  six  in  number  : 
1.  J.  0.  monogram  (Joan  Courtenay  ?).  2. 
Gules,  two  bends  und^e  or,  for  William  Lord 
Brewer;  "In  the  year  1196/'  says  Dr.  Oliver,

toleil.  I  believe  the  loseB  are  red  ones,  a  8iiij|;alar 
feature,  bat  several  single  white  roses  arc  scattered  I 
in  the  cusps  of  the  windows  in  that  aisle.  This  | 
takes  as  to  the  reign  of  Edward  IV.,  1461-83, 
and  after  the  date  of  the  battle  of  Mortimer's 
Cross  in  1471,  when  Uiat  monarch  was  said  to  have 
first  surroanded  the  regal  flower  with  the  glory. 

The  Archedekne  shields  are  of  Bmall  size  ;  the 
three  in  the  Coartenay  window  opposite,  much 
larger  and  more  pronounced,  also  quite  uniform, 
the  fields  diapered  and  the  shields  surroanded 
with  tracey.  In  size  also  they  assimilate  with  those 
in  the  window  at  Ashwater. 

Next  the  Gonrteoay  window  is  another  con- 
taining a  complete  set  of  religious  emblems  finely 
preserved,  the  chalice  and  host,  five  wounds, 
Trinity,  and  Agnus  Dei.  Several  mitred  heads 
and  lettered  fragments  are  in  other  windows,  and 
an  inscription  for  those  who  thus  originall;  adorned 
this  floe  church,  once  in  the  chancel  and  thus  read 
by  Dr.  Oliver,  "Orate  pro  omnibus bcnefactoribus 
qui  istam  fenestram  vitrari  fecenint,"  has  dis- 
appeared, apparently  ;  but  with  this  invocation,  so 
far  as  I  am  concerned,  I  desire  to  conclude  my 
part  of  the  diacussion.

Mbndip  Miners  :  Mining  CasTOMs  (6**  S.  vi. 
616). — The  information  iwked  for  by  W.  A.  L.  is  to 
be  fonnd  in  a  tract  of  considerable  rarity,  which  is 
Bometimes  bound  up  together  with  the  first  edition 
of  Houghton's  Rara  Avin  in  Terris^  under  a  general 
title,  The  Compteat  Miners  1688,  12mo.  It  is 
entitled  thus  : — 

"  The  Ancient  |  Law*,  |  Customs  and  Onlers  ;  of  the 
(  Miners  |  in  the  |  Kiiiie'r  Fiirest  of  Mcndipp  f  In  the 
County  of  1  Somerset.  |  London.  )  PrintcU  for  William 
Cooper  at  tho  |  Fellican  in  Little  firitain.    1687." 

It  is  duodecimo  size,  consisting  of  four  leaves  be- 
sides the  title  (which  is  within  a  double-ruled 
border),  and  as  it  contains  several  matters  of 
general  interest,  I  have  copied  the  whole,  verb,  et 
lit.,  hoping  that  the  Editor  may  not  he  disinclined 
to  give  9pace  to  so  curious  a  relic  of  old  custom. 
Derbyshire  farmers  (old  men,  possessed  of  scant 
sympathy  with  hunting)  have  been  heard  to  com- 
plain of  the  mischief  done  by  horses  and  hounds  to 
their  lands  in  precisely  the  same  terms,  "  hounding 
and  pounding,"  as  are  here  made  use  of;  but  the 
Derbyshire  form  appears  to  be  a  mere  reduplica- 
tion, whereas  in  the  Mendip  miners'  cose  we  have 
an  alternative,  t.e.,  ''either  bound  or  pound." 
Again,  Derbyshire  mining  law  punished  petty 
thieves  with  the  stocks  ;  but  Mendip  law  would 
be  satisfied  with  nothing  less  than  making  a  bon- ' 
fire  of  the  oflfender  together  with  all  his  gcKxls  and 
chattels — his  wife  and  family  seem  to  have  been 
•zcepted  from  the  holocaust  I  do  not  xcmember 
to  have  met  with  another  instance  of  the  oto  of  - 
in  M$  M  tummaij  or  vnlgar  ponisbmeDt  (diitinct  I 


from  ordeal  and  short  of  death),  altbongh  the  other 
elements,  air  (exposure),  earth  (burial  up  to  tb* 
neck),  and  water  (the  ducking-stool),  have  alt  bees 
employed  in  this  service  with  the  authority  of  cus-

HOUR-GLASBM  iV  Churchu  {6">  S.  vii.  209).— 
J  have  read,  though  I  cannot  say  where,  that  hour- 
glasses  were  invented  in  Alexandria  in  the  third 
century,  but  they  do  not  appear  to  have  been  used 
in  Engiiah  churches  until  twelve  centuries  after 
that  date.  An  earlier  dat«  than  that  mentioned 
by  Mr.  North  is  1509,  in  the  fronliiipiece  to  the 
Bishops'  Bible,  where  Archbishop  Pnrker  U  seen 
with  tbe  pulpit-glosa  beside  him  ;  but  five  years 
before  that  one  had  been  affixed  in  St.  Katherine's 
Church,  Aldgate.  The  hour-glass  occupies  a  oon- 
BpicaouB  position  in  Doo's  well-known  engraving 
from  Wilkie's  picture  of  "John  Koox  preaching 


before  tbe  Lords  of  tbe  Congregation  in  St.  An- 
drews, 1559."  Probably  the  :ini»t  had  some  autho- 
rity for  this  introduction  of  the  pulpit- gliwts.  Tu 
Brand's  Uiatory  of  NrAccas^devpon-Tynt  vaenuon 
is  made  of  **  one  hidf-houre  giiisse  "  in  tbe  inventory 
taken  in  1G32  of  the  goods  of  All  Saints'  Church  ; 
but  we  are  not  informed  whether  or  not  this  glass 
was  turned  up  to  complete  the  sixty-minute  mea- 
sure. When  the  Chajwl  Roynl,  Savoy,  was  re- 
stored in  18C7,  an  eighteen-mtnnte  pulpit-RJass 
was  placed  iu  the  church,  and  some  of  the  news- 
papers of  the  day  regnrded  this  as  the  Queen's 
protest  against  lengthy  sermons.  It  was  Daniel 
Burgess,  the  celebrated  Nonconformist  divine,  who, 
when  preaching  agaimtb  tbe  sin  of  drunkenness, 
turned  up  the  lioar-glass  at  the  end  of  sixty 
minutes,  and,  with  the  remark,  "  Anotbcr  glass — 
nnd  then  !^  set  ita  sands  again  running  and  oon- 
lioucd  bis  sermon.  An  adaptation  of  this  pulpit 
joke  wns  made  by  the  Scotch  minister  who,  having 
been  compelled  by  the  K»rl  of  Airlie  to  join  in  a 
Saturday  night's  uirouse,  retaliated  the  next  morn- 
ing by  preaching  at  biiu  a  long  sermon  from  the 
text,  *'Tbe  wicked  shall  be  punished,  and  that 
right  atr/10";  and,  after  an  hour's  diatribe,  turned 
lip  tbo  glass  and,  quoting  his  lordship's  oft-repeated 
command  of  the  previous  night,  said,  ''Another 
glass — and  then  !"  and  pursued  his  discourse.  Sir 
Joseph  Jekyl  suys  that  when  Bishop  Burnet  wot 
preaching  against  Popery,  at  the  Rolls  Chapel,  in 
ihe  first  year  of  James  II.,  tbe  sand  in  hia  hour- 
glass ran  out ;  upon  which  he  held  it  up,  turned 
it  round,  and  set  it  running  again,  continuing  his 
sermon  for  another  hour,  to  tbe  great  delight  of 
the  congregation,  "  who  almost  shouted  for  joy." 
A  somewhat  similar  anecdote  is  told  in  Parr's  Lift 
of  Ushit  of  the  good  archbishop  when  he  wiui 
seventy -five  years  of  age,  and  was  preaching  before 
the  Countess  of  Peterborough  "  and  some  other  per- 
sons of  quality"  at  St.  Martin's  Church.  The  pulpit 
hour-glass  is  shown  in  Hogarth's  *'  Sleeping  Con* 
gregation."  Dr.  Roger*,  in  his  Familutr  Uluttra- 
tions  of  8ccUish  C}taraci4r,  quotej  the  Rev.  Peter 
Glas,  minister  of  Crail,  as  saying,  "It  was  a  pulr 
parish  that  didna  hae  a  sand-ghiss."  Both  George

tton,  St.  Matthew  omita  the  circuniciaion  and  the 
preHentatioD,  and  St.  Luke  omits  the  flight  into 
Egypt  and  the  massacre.  Try  dow  to  reud  the 
two  accounta  &&  one :  "Now  when  Jesus  was  horn 
...,./'  and  was  circumcised,  and  on  the  fortieth 
dfty  ptecentfld  in  tho  templej  "  there  caiiio  wise 

men to  Jeruaalcm'^   and  to  Bethlehem,  and 

worshipped  Him  there.  And  Herod  sent  and  slew 
tho  children  in  Bethlehem,  but  He  was  taken  into 
Egypt  "  antil  the  death  of  Herod/'  a  fow  montha; 
and  *'  VfhtVr  [indefinite  tense]  they  had  performed 
&il  things  according  to  the  law  "  and  bad  returned 

from  EKypt,  they^cnm©  and  dwelt  in Nuza- 

reth."  Tbufl  the  two  accounts  begin  with  the  birth, 
then  separate,  then  meet  uRain  in  Nazareth  (St, 
Matt.  iL  23,  8t»  Luke  ii.  30).  If  the  placing  of 
the  visit  Qf  the  Mngi  a  year  after  the  prcaentatign 
be  not  iin  "  impoHaibility/*  it  ia,  I  think,  a  greater 
difficulty  than  the  reconciliation  of  the  two  narra- 
tivea  of  SS.  Mattbew  and  Luke,  on  account  of 
Herod's  death.  The  flight  into  Egypt  and  the 
Eiaaaacre  were  caused  by  the  Tisit  of  the  Magi  and 
Herod's  violetice»  but  be  would  at  the  above  time 
be  dead.  The  difficulty  as  to  want  of  time  for  the 
Magi  to  reach  Jerupalera  by  tho  presentation  is 
toad©  by  the  aHsumption  of  a  time  when  the  star 
fost  appeared,  wiiich  St«  Matthew  does  not  deane. 


Mb,  BLEMnxaopp  agrees  with  me  oa  the  sub- 
ject of  tho  sequence  of  events  with  re^^rd  to  the 
visit  of  the  Magi,  and  I  need  not,  therefore,  allude 
again  to  that  point.  Bat  surely  be  immensely  ex- 
aggerates the  time  which  Lhey  need  have  occupied 
in  their  journey  from  the  fat  coat  (to  use  ilr. 
Upham^s  phrase)  to  Jerusalem.  Ezm  was  exactly 
four  months  travelling  from  Babylon  to  Jeratolem 
(Ezra  vti.  9),  and  it  is  diiiicult  to  see  why  the 
Alagl  ahould  have  taken  longer,  The  firat  appear- 
ance of  the  star  need  not  have  coincided  with  the 
time  of  onr  Lord^a  birth,  and  Herod's  jealomy 
would  naturnlly  extend  hisoruel  order  even  beyond 
tho  earlieati  time  mentioned  to  him.  Mr*  Blen- 
KiNSorr*s  theory  that  Joseph  and  Mary  intended 
to  take  up  their  permanent  abode  at  Bethlehem  ia^ 
in  my  opiuion,  more  probable  than  Bishop  Words- 
worth's  that  they  repaired  there  again  temponixilj 
on  the  occurrence  of  one  of  the  great  feasts  at 
Jerusalem^  and  that  then  tho  visit  of  the  Magi 
took  place;  for,  as  I  cannot  think  it  probable  that 
our  Lord's  birth  took  place  earlier  than  the  autumn 
of  n.o«  5  (year  of  Rome  749),  I  do  not  see  vrhat 
great  feoat  there  could  have  been  ;  nor^  moreover, 
ia  it  clear  why  they  should  have  gone  from  Qalilee^ 
beyond  Jerusalem,  to  B^lhlebotu  for  it*

in  supposing  that  6y  in  this  possago  of  the  A.V. 
necessarily  means  a^ainst^  though  they  certainly 
have  good  authorities  to  keep  them  in  countenance, 
such  as  Abp.  Trench,  On  the  Anthorwd  Kerjiion, 
p.  43  (fieoood  edit.},  and  Eastwood  and  Wright. 
Bihte  H'otd'Bookf  «.r.,  and  most  commentators  in 
loro.  I  doubt  whether  by  (Mid.E.  bi,  A.-8.  be,  hi) 
ever  means  ngainsty  or  could  mean  it.  The  true 
meaning  is  a6oti^  concftnijiy  (Lat.  dc),  and  what 
the  apostle  seeran  to  say  ia  that  ho  knows  nothing 
about  himself,  is  in  ignorance  as  to  his  real  condi- 
tion, has  no  accnr&te  seIf-knowtedf;e,  yet  ignorance 
is  here  no  proof  of  innocence  ;  he  is  not  hereby 
justified  (Vulg.  "nihil  mlhi  conscius  sum";  Gk. 
ovSiv  c^aiTiji  (Ti'VotSa)*  St,  Paul  would  have 
been  the  tirst  to  confess  that  he  knew  many  things 
agaimt  himself.  So  Prov.  Kng.  "to  know  anything 
by  a  neighbour"  is  merely  about  or  conccrnin'j 
him;  and  this  is  the  obvious  meaning  of  the  word 
in  all  the  illustrative  passages  whico  have  been 
cited.  It  is  in  fact  a  colourless  expression,  and 
takes  its  shade  of  meaning  from  Ihc  context  in 
which  it  occurs  ;  it  may  be  a  prejudicial  one 
(against),  but  it  may  be  a  propitious  one  (in  favour 
of),  as  in  the  sentence  "  All  I  know  6y  him  is  to 
his  advantage."  Compare  also  the  following:—

Thomas  Scot  tob  RcoictOE  (6**  S.  vii.  364), 
— Thom.ts  Scot,  the  regicide,  was  mitrried  three 
times.  The  fact  of  his  having  li.id  a  wife  previous 
to  Grace  Manleverer  (whom  he  niurried  in  1644) 
is  proved  not  only  by  the  ftict  of  one  of  his 
dauahtera  being  married  to  Richard  S;kes  before 
165dj  but  by  his  son  having  been  n  nmjor  in  16A5. 
Thomas  Scot  roust  also  have  married  u  third  wife, 
as  it  is  recorded  that  "he  was  visited  on  the  morn- 
ing of  his  execution  (Oct.  17,  ICCO)  by  his  wife 
ond  children,"  Grace  Mauleverer  having  died  in 
1644.  Thomas  Scot  wiu,  I  believe,  the  son  of 
Thomas  Scot,  or  Scott,  of  Rockclls,  in  WattOD, 
and  came  of  an  old  family  of  long  standing  in 
Norfolk,  formerly  possessed  of  considerable  estates 
in  the  neighbourhood  of  Wytton  and  Carbrooke, 
the  presedt  representative  of  the  family  Vteing  Mr. 
Thomas  Soott,  lute  of  Carbrooke.  The  regicide 
was  disinherited  by  his  father,  who  left  Uockells 
to  one  of  his  grandsons,  whose  descendants  pos- 
sessed the  manor  till  1811.  The  Kev.  Thomas  Soott, 
of  Rockclls,  who  lived  in  the  lust  century,  destroyed 
many  Parliamentary  documents  of  the  timo  of  the 
Commonwealth  which  he  found  in  the  muniment 
chost  at  Watton  Green.  Mr.  W.  C.  E.  Scott,  a 
descendant,  possesses  a  little  silver  box  which 
belonged  to  the  regicide,  with  bis  initials  scratched 
thereon.  Thomas  Scot  was  educated  at  West- 
minster School,  under  Mr.  Lambert  Usbaldistooi 
the  hcftd-master,  with  Sir  Arthur  Hazelriggi  Sir 
Uarrv  Vane,  and  other  notorious  anti-monarchists, 
and  Le  afterwards  went  to  the  University  of 
Cambridge.  Of  his  sons,  "Major  Scott  "  married 
Martha,  daughter  of  Sir  William  Piers,  knight,  of 
Tnsteroagb,  co.  Westmeath,  and  had  a  daughter 
Hannah,  who  married  Abram  White,  of  Dublto  ; 
Richard  married  Anne,  widow  of  Col  Julinea 
Bering  ;  and  Thomas  appears  to  have  settled  in 
Dover  as  a  "Dutch  and  Russia  merchant,"  and  to 
have  married  there  in  166<>  Susanna  Dell.  The 
regicide  in  a  letter  alludes  to  his  *'son  Rowe" 
(possibly  a  ^on-tn-law),  and  there  was  another  soD| 
it  is  said,  of  the  name  of  John,  buried  in  Jamaica. 
Of  the  regicide's  daughters,  besides  Alice  Pearsa 
and  Elizabeth  Sykes,  there  wils  M.'kry,  who  married 
Quentin  Oaburne  of  Ayr,  North  Britain,  and  of 
Cork,  who  left  many  descendants.  I  should  be 
glad  of  further  information  respecting  any  member 
of  the  regicide's  family.

Holt  Family  (6*^  S.  vii.  186).— Under  this 
head  I  only  gave  tbe  latter  part  of  tbe  reference 
from  Burke.  As  it  may  answer  the  double  pur- 
pose of  facilitating  my  inquiry  and  of  raising  tbe 
interesting  question  as  to  whether  the  assertion 
therein  contained  is  true,  I  will  ask  you  to  insert 
that  part  of  tbe  reference  which  precedes.  It  runs 
thus: — 

"  The  first  mentioned  of  this  family  i«  Thomas  lIoU, 
who  had  the  Manor  of  Sale,  in  Aitliton,  Cheshire,  given 
to  him  atid  Massere  in  two  divisions,  by  Adam  Dutton, 
one  of  Earl  hupus'  Barons  in  lltO  {temp.  Hich.  I.)* 
who  authorised  them  to  bear  the  arms  and  crest  still 
used  by  this  branch,  as  lineal  defcendaiita;  perhaps  the 
only  inttanee  oj  two  faMiUft,  mth  tfiffertnt  names,  Holt 
and  Sale,kavin(j  the  same  hearings.  '  There  were  many 
generations  of  this  family,  who  resided  at  Orielehurst, 
LancHihire;  some  fought  iit  the  b'cottiah  wars,  and  also 
in  favor  of  the  Uuyal  cauee  at  £dgehill,  Newbury, 
MarstoQ  Moor,  &c.,  and  were  named  in  Charles's  pro* 
jectfld  order  of  the  Uoyal  Oalc." 

Failing  the  discovery  of  the  original  pedigree  re- 
ferred to  in  my  former  note,  perhaps  some  of  your 
numerous  correspondents  may  be  able  to  suggest 
to  me  the  sources  whence  Handle  Holme  derived 
bis  information.  U.  F.  H. 

[The  account  cited  Ii  not  ia  the  last  edition  of  the 
Landed  Oentry.} 

It  is  not  improbable  that  H.  F.  H.  may  find 
among  the  Rundle  Holme  manuscripts  in  the  British 
Museum  a  copy  of  the  document  which  he  desires 
to  see.  Anox.

2167,  2167;  also  1020  to  2187.  I  believe  the 
Holme  and  Chaloner  families  have  large  private 
collections  of  Cheshire  arms  and  pedigrees.

He  was  brought  up  at  Deptford  and  practised  as 
a  ship  painter.  He  acquired  great  skill  as  a  marine 
painter.  He  was  iu  the  hands  of  the  dealerc,  and 
lived  in  obscurity.  His  works  have  been  engraved 
by  Godfrey,  Kavenet,  Canot,  and  Boydell.  There 
is  a  large  sea  piece  by  him  in  the  Foundling 
Hospital  (Redgrave);  five  pictures  by  him  were 
■exhibited  at  the  loan  exhibitions  at  the  British

Sir  Gxcros  Chaluers,  Painter  (6"*  3.  Til 
469)  was  a  jjortmit  painter.  He  inherited  a  title 
(baronet)  without  a  fortune,  which  ms  fbr&ited 


from  a  connexion  with  the  exiled  Stuart  family. 
Born  in  Edinburgh,  he  studied  under  Hamsay,  and 
afterwards  travelled,  making  some  stay  in  Rome. 
Returning  to  England,  he  resided  a  few  years  at 
Hull.  He  exhibited  twenty-four  works  at  tbe 
Royal  Academy,  1775-1790,  and  died  in  London 
in  1791.  There  is  an  account  of  him  in  Redgrave. 
We  have  recently  purchased  a  three-quarter  por-

An  Amkricak  Decoration  (6**>  S.  vii.  308).— 
It  is  the  cToas  of  the  military  order  of  the  Loyal 
Legion  of  the  U.S.,  founded  iu  1864  by  ofiicers 
of  the  army  and  navy,  regubrs  and  volunteers,  who 
served  during  the  civil  war.  The  principles  are 
in  every  respect  the  same  as  those  governing  the 
Order  of  the  Cincinnati,  founded  by  Washington 
nnd  his  generals  after  the  war  of  the  revolution. 
The  former  owner  of  No.  229  has  been  guilty  of 
a  gross  breach  of  propriety  by  disposing  of  the 
cross  in  any  other  way  than  by  returning  it  to  the 
commander  of  the  order.  B.  Ferkow,

Great  Britaih  (6«»»  S.  vii.  228).— ."Greater 
Brytayne,"  in  Spenser,  is  obviously  insular  Britain, 
distinguished  from  Transmarine,  or  Little  Britain, 
or  Armorica.  I  believe  that  it  is  a  misconcep- 
tion, suggested  by  the  *^  English  school "  of  faia* 
torians,  that  before  the  Vnion  the  words  Britain 
and  Briton  were  scarcely  used  except  for  Bretagne 
and  the  Bretons.  Tbe  entire  island  could  only  be 
spoken  of  as  Britain.  Of  course  both  England 
and  Scotland  hiid  affairs  not  common  to  Britain.

heiress  of  George  Brome,  of  Holton,  and  widow  of 
Sir  Thomas  Wborwood,  Knt.,  was  then  in  poesei- 
sion  of  Holton,  and  the  old  moated  house  was  the 
headquarters  of  General  Fairfax's  army.  Mr. 
Dell  was  chaplain -general  to  the  forces.  The 
rector  of  the  parish  was  the  Rev.  Alban  Karle. 
Unfortunately,  the  old  bouse  was  pulled  down  in 
1804,  but  the  moat  and  the  island  on  which  the 
house  stood  still  remain.

question  obout  the  year  of  our  Lord's  nativity,  and 
to  have  ascertained  beyond  doubt  that  it  was  ia 
the  year  of  Rome  749,  or  the  fifth  year  before  tho

dale  which  I  have  already  contended  is  the  true 
one ;  and  although  tho  month  of  the  nativity 
cannot  he  regarded  aa  certain,  and  I  still  think  it

to  point  out  that  it  by  no  means  follows  from  (his 
that  if  we  could  now  revert  to  a  correct  reckoning

— I  find  in  the  Douay  Diary  that  a  William 
^inchcombe  went  to  Doaay  College  in  June,  1648. 
He  adopted  the  aliat  of  Penn.  I  know  nothing 
*of  bis  life;  but  if  he  was  about  twelve  yean  old  in 
a648,  he  would  be  twenty-fire  in  16C0,  and  would 
'have  been  a  priest  about  twenty-fire  years  in  1665. 
He  may  be  the  "  Father  Peon "  whose  name  is 
connected  in  Hawkins's  Lift  of  Dr.  Blow  with 
"  Father  Petre."  Perhaps  some  reader  of

Tab  (6**  S.  vii.  248).— Iu  the  Swedish  dialect 
tuba  and  tapa  are  used  as  forms  of  tappa,  to  tap^ 
to  dntw  out  liquid,  from  tapp^  a  wooden  nail,  a 
spigot.  Tappa  means  aUo  to  empty  and  to  lose. 
In  Denmark  the  word  has  become  divided,  tapp9 
meaning  to  tap,  and  tabs  to  lose.  To  tab  a  tenant 
13,  therefore,  to  tap  him,  to  make  hiui  come  out 
as  liquor  from  a  cask,  or  it  may  mean  to  lose  him 
as  a  tenant.  The  local  meaning  seems,  however, 
to  denote  a  turning  out  iu  an  active  sense  rather 
than  mere  loss,  J.  D.        ^m

Rigby  are  recordad  in  Burke's  ff wforj/  0/  the  Com- 
monert  nbouL  Che  time  mentioned  by  Mr.  Baxter: 

1.  Alexitndor  Rigby,  of  Aspnll,  married  Alice, 
fi>urth  daughter  of  Thom.is  CiiftoDj  of  Clifton 
(iL  57). 

2.  Alexander  Rigby,  of  Chester,  married  Lucy, 
leoond  daaght«r  of  Sir  Urlan  Legh,  of  Adliogton 
(iii.  455). 

3.  Alexander  Rigby  (one  of  the  Burons  of  tho 
Eicchequerin  1640)  mirried  Ann  Gaberb,  widow 
of  ThoiuM  Legh,  of  Adlington  (^^n  of  Sir  Urian). 

4.  Alexander  RiKby  married  Mitry,  fifth  daugh- 
ter of  the  said  Thomxs  Let^h. 

In  the  detailed  pediji^ree  of  the  Ho^'htons  giren 
in  Burke's  Petragt  for  1845  (p.  Girt)  it  is  stated 
that  ftnoLher  Alexinder  Ri^by  married  Mirj^aret, 
third  dniij»hter  of  Sir  Gilbert  Huujhton,  the  second 
baronet,  who  died  in  1647. 

Thia  inform  ition  may  possibly  he  of  service  to 
Mr.  Baxter.  There  ia  not,  bo  far  aa  I  know,  a 
single  Rigby  pedigree  in  any  of  Burke's  dic- 
tionaries, though  several  ace  meatloued  in  the 
GcntalogiiVi  Gnid4.  SioiiA. 

A  few  notes  on  this  family  are  to  be  found  in 
Tol.  i.  nf  Layifn^hire  and  Cheihivf.  TTiitorical  and 
Ointalogiral  NoUi  ("  Notes  on  MP.*  for  Linca- 
Bhire  "  and  "  Ciilcheth  Deeds  ").  I  condense  from  it 
the  folbwint;.  John  Kigby,  of  Wigan,  was  father 
of  Adam,  whose  elrJest  aon,  John,  was  ancestor  of 
the  Rigbys  of  Middleton;  hii  younger  son,  Alex- 
ander, was  ancoHtor  of  the  Rigby*  of  Burgh,  in 
Duxbnry,  and  of  Liyfton-in-the-Fields  ;  his  grnnd- 
&0D,  Alexander,  was  M.P.  for  Wigan,  and  ci^Iooel 
in  the  Parliamentary  array,  also  Biiron  of  the- 
Exchequer.  He  wu*  the  besieger  of  Lithoi» 
House,  and  died  in  1650,  leaving  two  sons,  (1) 
Alexan.ler  and  (2)  E-lwitrd.  His  eldest  son,  Alex- 
ander Uigby,  wiH  iieutunnnt-coloDel  in  the  Parlia- 
mentary army  and  M.P.  for  Preston  IGGO;  he 
died  in  16D3/4.  Eiiward,  the  younger  brother, 
was  of  Preston  and  of  Gray's  Inn;  he  was  AlP  for 
Preston  lQ6l-78'9,  and  was  the  foundpr  of  the 
later  Lancashire  branch  of  the  ftimily.  ile  died  in 
108G. 

At  the  same  time  there  was  a  cousiaj  another 
descendant  of  Alexiiudar  Rigby  first  mentioned* 
also  c:»lled  Alexindor,  Hi  was  a  rovnliat^  anil 
W;i9  High  Shoriir  of  Linciishire  1691-2.  wii<* 
kuiiiht»»d  16J5,  was  MP,  for  Wigan  17U1,  and 
died  1714  ;  his  line  fulle:!  in  1794. 

The  family  of  Rigby  occur  very  carlv  in  various 
pirta  of  LiOt^i^hire.  1355-6,  Richard  de  Riggeby. 
chaplain,  is  mentioned,  be?idea  earlier  ones  to 
whom  I  cannot  refer  now,  not  having  the  necea- 
8ary  books  at  hami.  Arms  of  Rigby  of  Wigan,

Bt-akd-bt  (6"'  S.  TiL  48G).— Mr.  Smtthk 
Palmer  has  misunderstood  the  sigillaHm  of  the 
Promptonum  Parvnlorum,  It  stands  for  *tn- 
giUat%m  or  aingulatim  (sometimes  also  written 
s%ntfuUim)f  one  by  one,  singly.  The  MednUa 
(Hurl  MS.  2257),  as  quoted  by  Mr.  Way,  render- 
ing "ligillatimf  fro  seel  to  seel"  is,  of  course, 
wrong  too.  I  have  before  me  two  editions  of  the 
MedtiUa,  the  one  printed  by  Rich.  Pynson  in 
1499,  the  other  printed  by  Wynkin  de  Worde  in 
1GI6  :  both  have  singuhxtim.  I  may  remark  that 
tigillaiim  is  almost  exclusively  used  in  mediceval 
Latin.  J.  H.  Hessels. 

P.S. — After  I  had  written  the  above,  it  occurred 
to  me  that  the  Mtdulla^  quoted  by  Mr.  Way,  may 
be  right  nfter  all,  its  ^'seel"  probably  meaning 
soul  (D.  zicl),  not  Stat.

many  rxamplofi  io  tfaia  book  to  ibow  of  what  splmdid 
effects  it  wu  c&p&ble  under  thete  someirhat  artifici&l 
ctmdttions.  We  ma;  iniUDce  the  orgaot  of  St.  Ik'rtrand 
de  Comminget  (pL  lUi),  the  cathednil  of  Ctartro* 
(pi.  xutOi  Le  Maos  Tpl*  xjci.)|  Boie  I<  Dae  (pi.  xxTin.)> 
mod  St.  Omer  (pi.  xxxt'iL). 

A  melnncholy  interest  attaches  to  many  of  thesQ 
beautiful  drawi»i;9  from  the  fact  that  they  represent 
organ  cases  that  bare  been  destroyed,  or  that  are 
threatened  with  destruction  by  the  TuUar  cruu  of 
"  restorai-ton."  Among  the  latter  may  be  cited  the 
noble  instrument  which  adorns  the  cathedral  of  St. 
Sauvcur,  at  Bruges  (pi.  xsxi.).  This  interior,  only  a  few 
y^nrs  back  one  of  the  noblest  and  moit  picturesque  in 
the  Low  Countrieft,  hat  been  cleared  of  almost  all  it9  old 
furniiur«,  and  painted  up  into  a  gaudy  emuliitioii  of  an 
inferior  mosic-hall.  The  orftan  here  figured  is  felt  to  be 
out  of  barmany  with  the  new  surroundings,  and  is  there- 
fore to  be  rcmoTcd.  The  mperb  organ  of  Bois  te  Due 
(pi.  xxTiii.)  is  alio,  it  peems,  threatened.  That  such  a 
plorii>us  work  i<f  art  »lioulil  b*-  in  d&tigor  would  seem 
almost  ircrediblo  wore  it  not  for  the  fact  that  the  rood- 
screen  of  this  oburcb,  one  of  the  noblect  of  all  the 
Brabant  jubes,  is  now  in  the  SoQth  Keni'ington  Museum. 
It  is  impoAsible  ta  nay  what  an  ecolesiastical  body  which 
has  sold  that  sumptuous  screen  to  a  Jew  may  not  Ire 
prepared  to  do  with  the  contemporary  organ.  Mr.  Uill 
has  some  excellent  remarks  upon  the  disastrous  results 
of  the  "  restoration  "  mania,  and  enters  an  urgent  protest 
against  the  reuiovsl  of  the  old  orean  ctkBtri  wtuch  etill 
remain  to  us.  We  wish  we  could  liopo  tbat  his  protest 
will  be  listened  to. 

We  may  add  that  the  work  contains  a  large  anioont  of 
valuable  antiauarlan  matter,  collected  from  unpublished 
fourcef,  and  tuHt  in  the  introductory  chapters  the  quCB* 
tione  of  the  position  of  the  organ,  the  remarkable  organs 
of  early  times,  the  destruction  of  ancient  organs,  kCj 
are  fully  discussed. 

..In  IllHitrnUd  D'ctionarif  of  Wordt  wtd  in  Art  and 
Archaoiogs.  By  J.  W.  MoUett,  BX  (Sampson  Low 
Ac  Co.) 
SIR.  MoLLBTT  may  be  oongratulated  on  having  produced 
a  book  the  wiuit  of  which  must  often  have  been  felt  b^ 
many  students  of  tbe  Turioos  branches  of  art.  On- 
ginslly  commenced  as  an  amended  edition  of  M.  Bow's 
dictioniry,  the  Tolume  has  to  grown  under  the  authnr'a 
hands  Chat  lictlo  of  the  origTnal  work  remains.  Tlio 
sco|K>  fif  iMr.  Mollett's  dictionary  is  certainly  a  uido 
one.  Not  only  does  it  include  the  euhjects  of  architec- 
ture, sculpture,  and  painting,  but  also  those  of  heraldry, 
coetuQio,  laC'?,  pottery,  tao.  When,  therefore,  we  con- 
lidcr  the  task  which  the  author  baa  Kt  himself  to  per- 
form, we  are  not,  perhaps,  surprised  to  Hr>d  a  consider 
able  number  of  omistiona — a  fault  which  will,  no  doubt, 
be  remedied  by  him  in  llie  next  edition.  For  iuitance, 
though  we  fiitd  notices  of  Berlin,  Dresden,  and  8t-neB 
china,  we  look  in  vain  for  the  names  of  Clielseu,  Swan- 
tea,  Cbantilly,  Tournay,  ^jKido,  and  Bow.  Nor  ie  there 
any  mention  to  be  found  of  such  architectural  term<i  as 
benitier,  traTerse,  tregaunte,  stny-bar,  Bjicrrer.  poynlell, 
or  pew.  Borne  of  his  exiflanation?,  too,  are  curiuiuly
