ENGLISH TRAVELLERS ON 
VLACES. 

In his note to ' Childe Harolds Pilgrimagw,' 
canto ii. stanza xxxviii. (London. 1819, 
p. 138), Lord Byron says that no English- 
man, except Leake, bad ever advanocd 
beyond Janina. The atwtement is pro- 
bably true, on condition, of cour§o, that it 
refurs only to Albania, since long beforw 
Byron wrote Edward Brown hnd penetrated 
far into Macedonia. Coming from Ser^-ia, 
Brown saw Pertep, aUo the mountaina n«tr

of PinduH, which are very numcronn in those 
partis of tho chain between Albania and Thp.ssAly, 
nave all a distinct cliaractcr, which probably has 
continued for centuries. The* Vlachi are a Ivirdy 
And active j>ooplo, more refinilar, loss ferocious 
in their haliits than the Albanians, to whom 
they are not allied in their origin, and but little 
AH it appears in later connexion. 

" It may further be remarked that there is an 
air of active industry, neatness, and good order 
in th(*se towns, which, whilo it distinfoiishre 
them from all others in the south of Turkey. 
Hflords a ningular contrast to the wild and ru^cd 
Bcenery by which they are surrounded." — 
' Travels in the Ionian Isles, Albania, Thessaly, 
Macedonia,* Ace, London, ISl.'S, p. 220. 

In 1838 appeared ' The Spirit of the East,' 
by D. Urquhart. A special interest attaches 
to this, in his time, most influential poli- 
tical author. A Roumanian statesman and 
writer of note, I. Ghica, for many years 
representative to the Court of St. Jcunes, 
knew him well. In a letter he portrays 
him as '* a yoimg man of short stature, 
delicate complexion, with pale face, long 
golden hair over his back, blue piercing 
eyes ** ;* and he further speaks of Ur- 
quheurt's noble character, of his ardour in 
espousiuff the ^reat causes for freedom. 
Indeed, nis * Spirit of the East ' breathes 
in a large degree the tumultuous, fiery 
atmosphere of the Greek revolution. He 
deals in it with chiefs like Catchiandoni 
and Tchionga, both of tlie ^Hach race, or, 
as Urcjuhart puts it, of " these hardy 
moimtameers, nowhere fixed, but always 
to be found where the wolves have dens 
and eagles nests '* (vol. i. p. 122). 

In some of these travellers* accounts one 
has to look carefully for the particular 
passages relating to our subject, as they 
are intermixed with various other matters. 

Robert Cm^on, for instance, looking down 
from the Moteora monasteries at the beauti- 
ful prospect stretched before him, euid 
without any further reference, writes : — 

•* The whole of this rep;ion is inhabit-ed by a 
race of difterfut origan from the real Albanians : 
thi'v speak the Wallachian lungim^e, and are 
said to he extrt^nu-ly Ijarlwroua and iffnonint.'* — 
• Vi>iit» to Monasterii's in the Levant,' I>mdon, 
1811). p. 2»d. 

Of course, tho author reports only the 

information conveyed to him, but still it 

is curious that he did not care to comment 

on it. His follower, George Ferguson 

Bowen, whoso purpose wcm in a way to 

complete the ' Visits to Monasteries in the 

Levant,' t gives, on the contrary, a sym-

pathetic account, and finds it very int6r«> 
csting 

" to meet n tribe of these nonind Wallachians on 
their march, windiup; in single lile with their long 
tRiins of packhora's up one of tho mountain 
passes of Kpinis, or along the plains of Tliessaly." 
— * Mount Athos, Thessfily, and Epinis,* p. 162. 

To the same period belongs Edward Lear's 
* Journals of a Landscape Painter in 
Albania.* It has to be mentioned especially 
for the illustrations, which he himself con- 
tributed. 

Henry Tozer relates having seen tho 
VlcKihs in their summer encampments at 
the heights between Ipek and Prizrend ; 
and he adds : " These families are com- 
plete! v nomad, having no settled habita- 
tion.''* 

Such roaming communities are to be 
found in many other places, pfurticularly 
towards the Adriatic coast, where hardly 
any traveller has been to seek them. 

A limited region of Albania was visited in 
1860 by Mary Adelaide Walker, who, 
passing near Coritza, heard the tinkling 
Dolls of the flocks, and caught a sight of 
their shepherds in ** sheepskin cloaks 
and caps ' C Through Macedonia to the 
Albanian Lakes,* London, 1864, p. 249). 
On her way to Coritza she was present also 
at a Vlach wedding ceremony, of which she 
renders a clear account. In describing 
further the Bulgarian dresses she refers to 
a sfMJcimen worn by " the women from 
Vlaclio-Clissura " {ibtd,, pp. 141-6). It is 
surely a mistake ; in Vlacho-Clissura, as 
shown by the name itself, no Bulgarian 
women are to be found. Witli regard to 
the town of Monastir, she writes : — 

" Among the Christian population of Monastir 
the Vlaclis rank the highest for commeri'ial 
enterprise, industry, and intelligence." — 76., p. 137. 

G. M. Mackenzie and A. P. Irby in a book 
publi>ihed a few years laterf fully agree on 
this point with the preceding author. 

On the whole, English travellers dwell 
mostly on the nomociic life of the Vlaclis 
and its external aspect, eitlier becaiise it 
appealed to them as more unusual or 
because they came into contact with it on 
their journeying to Grt^ece. There is, how- 
ever, another section of these people repre- 
sented by numerous well-to-do ooroudiSf 
scattered on the mountains. Above all in

[12 8. IV. Jak., 1918. 



ho would value' liighly this distinguished 
decoration, would much prefer to wear it at 
the neck, with the high class of the Com- 
mander of the Legion of Honour, rather than 
have to place it on the breast, where tlie 
fourth and fifth classes of decorations only 
are worn. The new British Orders with 
their five classes also assisted the argument, 
as none could hold that the decorations of 
the Companion clews were inferior to the 
third or Commander class of the Victorian 
and British Empire Orders. 

So the proposal has at last been accepted, 
and althougli the old designation of Com- 
panion is ret-ained, the members of the third 
class of the Orders of the Bath, Star of India, 
St. Michael and St. George, and Indian 
Empire, now wear the decoration at the 
neck, and have precedence of the Com- 
manders of the jmiior Orders. This change 
has only been secured after repeated 
representations carried on during many 
years, as was the case in the long-fought 
efiEort to secure to the Briton the right to 
fly the Union Jack — a struggle in which I 
had, ultimately, the suj>port of my gotxl 
friend the late Mr. John Collins Francis in 
carrying the long-denied claim to a victorious 
conclusion. J. H. Rivett-Carnac.

* Tom Brown's School Days ' : a 
I.1ITEBARY Error. — ^At the heading of 
chap. iv. of part ii., * Tho Bird-fanciers,' the 
following quotation appears : — 

I have found out a gift for my fair, 

I have found wliore the wood pigeons breed ; 

But let me the plunder forb<*ar — 

She would say 'twas a barbarous deed. 

This is attributed by the author to Rowe. 
Many of your roeulers will no doubt recognize 
the lines as being by Shenstone (Pasfx>ral II., 
* Hope '). The remainder of the verse is 
worth repeating : — 

For he ne'er could bo true, ghe avep*d [«c]. 
Who would rob a poop bird of its young ; 
And I loved her the more when I heard 
Such tcrudemesB fall from her tongue. 

Tliomas Hughes, the author of *Tom 
Brown,' had a great literary reputation. 
He was a Bencher of this Inn, and Master 
of the Library In 1889. It is an astonishing 
fact that in his well-known work, which 
must have been read by an enormous number 
of people of all ranlcs, the error I mention 
should never have been corrected. The 
author no doubt quoted from memory, as 
the words given by him are not exactly 
correct. J, E. Latton Pickbbing.

*• This seems to refer to the sacrifice of the maRS,

Yet he puzzles over this recondite matter 

as to tho hour for mass, cmd cit€^ Bock to 

support the information that " midday waa, 

however, not tlio usual time for celebratioa ; 

it was generally much earlier.'' 

But is not all this annotating beside the 

question 7 For is not the meaning simply 

that saints broke their fast about midday ? 

So in Passus vi. 147 the saints of Piers's 

bequest are ascetics with modem Trappist

"Mb. Edmonds" of Lady Fanshawe*& 
* Memoirs.* — In Appendix B, devoted to 
" tho issue of Sir Richard Fanshawe and 
Ann his wife,** we read : — 

** y. Margaret Fanshawe was bom at Tan- 
, kersley Park in Yorkshire, on Saturdav, at 
2 o'clock afternoon, on the 0th day of October* 
1053. She was baptized by Mr. Graven, parson of 
that parish, Mr. Edmonds her godfather, the Lady 
Itookeby and my cousin Boswell her godmothers. 
—P. 210. 

Tliis is quoted from the edition of the 
' Memoirs published in 1907, so fully cuid 
excellently annotated by Mr. H. C. Faa- 
sliawe. In his note on this passage, after- 
identifying Lady Rookeby and Mr. Graves, 
and offering a doubtful identification of 
Cousin Boswell, the editor fails altogether 
with Mr. Edmonds, of whom he says, " Ite 
name has not been found in any publia 
or family papers of the time** (p. 694). 
Surely this would be Thomas Edmunds of 
Worsborough Hall, formerly secretary to 
the first Lord Strafford, from whose son 
Sir R. Fanshawe had rented Tanlseraley 
Hall, distant about 3 miles from Wors* 
borough Hall. Both fcunilies were Royalist 
and attached to the StrafFords ; they would 
naturally be drawn into friendly associatioiu

Tax on Armoriai. BBAHiMis.— I have 
rend aomowbero that Lord Bi.-acoaBfi«ld, 
when engaged in propoaing some modifica- 
tions of taxation, is reported to have said, 
" All EiTTopfi will laueh at us if we support 
tho British Constituttou on footmen'H bair-

disni>pf»red. Does not the tax on armorial 
hearings belong to the name rategory as to 
oriiiin ? I pannot lihd any reference in 
enev-clopiediae or el'wwherc as to when tlila 
tax originated. 

Tho operation of this tux la certainly very 
dieaotrnus from an antintiariao point of 
view. I have recently hnard of several 
cases of persons poBttBitstng armorial bearings 
on their old furniture, plate. Ac, going to tlie

NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. iv. Ja».. wis. 



Robert Viluers c. 1640. — In the lb?t of 
Royalist Compound ers (^lason's * Historj- 
of Norfolk ') appears the name of ** Robert 
Villiors of I^mlon." 

Wliat relation was ]io to Sir John Villiers 
(aflerwards Lord Piirbock, brother of Bnck- 
uigliam), wlio married the yoimger daugliter 
of Sir Edward Coke by his second wife, 
I^ady (Elizabeth) Hat ton, widow of Sir 
William Hat ton, and daughter of Thomas 
Cecil, 2nd Lord Burleigh ? 

Robert Villiers of Jx)ndon " Jiad interest 
in the manor of Fakenliam." Lady Eliza- 
beth Hat ton purchasetl tliat manor from 
the Crown, but was swindled out of it by 
her husband. Coke. It was restored to her 
after Coke's death by the King's order in 
Council in 1638. In*^ 1647 Mr. James Cal- 
thoipo became owner of tlio manor, and it 
is supposed he bought it from a " Mr. 
Villiers," possibly Mr. Robert Villiers. 

Fakenuam. 

Atouillettes. — ^Aro the aiguillottes worn 
by staff ofticers and A.D.C.*s in full dress 
a relic of the time when tlie squii-e was 
supposed to cArry tlie piquet ing-rope ai:d 
p^^s of the kniglit he was attending 7 

M.D. (2). 

St. Clement as Patron Saint. — I saw 
in a book the other dav that St. Clement 
was the patron of merchants and trailers. 
Is there any authority for this statement 7 
St. Giles, St. Clement, and others are 
Buppost'd to i)rotect smiths, but 1 want to 
know of a connexion between St. Clement 
and trailers. W. A. Hirst. 

The Steelyard in Thames Street. — 
Does any one know the exact date of the 
building of the Steclyanl in Thames Street? 
Its later liistory is well known, but I cannot 
find particulars about the origin of the 
earliest building. W. A. Hirst. 

Rev. John Davies, D.D., Canon of 
DuRH.VM. — Could nny reader give me in- 
formation about this versatile (rlerpjTiian ? 
His • Pursuits of Literature and Philosophy 
considered as subser\ient to Morality 
and Keligion' (J. W. Parker, 1841) has for 
years been a favourite of mine. His n<une 
sounds so Welsh that I am anxious to know 
whether we can claim him among our 
** eminent Welshmen," whereof so many 
different lists have been compiled in late 
years. He l^ecame Re<:tor of Gateshead in 
1840, and he was still there in 18G0, but liis 
namo has disappeared from * Crockford ' by 
^^^'^ - ^- LuscBiD Jones. 



Yeamans. — Can any of your corre- 
spondents help me to identify Edward 
Yeamans, who was admitted to West- 
minster School in 1724, aged 9, and John 
Yeamans, admitted to the same school in 
1722, aged 9 7 The latter may have been 
Sir John Yeamans, the fifth baronet of that 
name, who matriculated at Oxford from 
Queen's College in 1738, aged 18. The 
infonnation in Burke's ' Extinct Baronetcies' 
and 0. E. ( '.'s * Baronetage ' concerning this 
baronetcy is meagre. G. F. R. B. 

Parish Registers Printed. — Is there any 
up-to-date list of the parish registers which 
have been printed ? In particular, have the 
registers of Stepney, Twickenham, and 
Workington been printed yet ? 

A. M. B. Irwin, Kt. 

49 Ailosbury Head, Dublin. 

[The beat lists of printed parish registers are 
Matthewe's 'Contemporary Index to Printed Parish 
(and Non-Prtrochial) Kegisters,' 19()9, issued to suh- 
scriliers; and 'Catalotnic of Phillimore's Paru^h 
Resistcr Series, 1913 * (price6c^., 120 Chancery Lane» 
W.C.2). The Marriages of St. Duiistan's, Stepney, 
1568-1719, have been printed in 3 vols, by Mr, 
Colyer-FeniURfwn ; of Twickenham, 15.')8-18r2, in 
vol. iii. of Phillimoro's Middlesex Series; and of 
Workington. 1670-1837, in Phillimore's Cumberland 
Series, vol. i.] 

Walder Marten. — Somewhere in a West 
Sussex village churchyard is the gravestone 
of Waltler Marten. Copy of inscription is 
reqiiiretl by A. E. Marten. 

Stuart IIouRc, Ely, Ca mbs. 

** Heuewerc." — Can any of your readers 
say what is the mecming of this word ? It 
occurs in a twelfth -centiuy account of rent 
paid on Lammas day, i.e., ad gulam Augusti, 
the 1st of August. R. A. Potts. 



Borkmak's * Description of a Great 
Variet>' op Animals and Vegetables.' — 
What is the date of this work, and where can 
a copy be seen ? It is referred to in Brand's 
* Popular Antiquities.' E. E. Squires. 

Dutch Literature. — ^Ih tliere in English, 
French, or Dutch a useful book on Dutch 
and FlemisJi literature, including folk-songs T 
Does a good anthology of Dutdi and Flemish 
lyrics exist ? Have any lyrists of un- 
denia}>ly great genius written in Dutcli and 
Flemish, especially during the last half- 
century ? Final 1\% is there a good collco- 
tion of Dutch and Flemish pn)verbs ? 

A collection of the be^t lyrics of Holland 
Norvi*ay, Sweden, and Denmark, accom- 
panied by a line-for-lino prose translation, 
IS a tiling to be desired. G. W.

Prince Chableb Edwakd Stuabt and 
A FRkncit Princhss.— Is anything known 
about a project of marriage between lum 
and one of Lewis XV. 'a (lau^ht«rs I I am 
intorostcd in an engraving (without any title 
araum^tiMTv, bat tsartainly French, and of the 
fiddlo of t/io e^btoentb contaiy) which 



seems to bo connected with such a pro- 
spective event in the Pretender's life. 

The young princess is represent«d stand- 
ing before the door of a small circular 
temple ; two columns of its peristyle bear 
medallions of her ancestors — Henry IV., 
Lewis XllL, Lewis XIV., and Lewfa XV. ; 
and her personal resemblance with the laafe 
of tlie kings is emphasized by the engraver. 
To tlie some temple is gomg the young 
prince, led by a female figure who is revealed 
to be tlie Queen of France by her fleur-de- 
lised crown and mantle. A child near the 
Queen has a double siiield bearing ( 1 ) France, 
(2) quarterings of alliances, legible with 
difficulty, one of them seeming to be Medicia, 
for Henry IV. 's wife, I suppose. I do not 
think it necessary to describe the symbolical 
figures Burrounding the group obove : Truth, 
Justice, War, Arts, Religion, Love, and the 
lying Error and Discord ; they are too well 
known in subjects of that period. 

With respect to the ligure supposed to be 
the Young Pretender, nothing is really 
convincing as to his identity ; he is dressed 
as a Roman warrior, but the head seema 
to have been traced after a portrait. A 
cliild before him carries a laurel branch and 
a sceptre. In the backgroiuid a crowd 
applauds. It slinuld be added that the 
Queen's head is certainly intended to be a 

Sirtrait, too, and reminds one forcibly of 
ory Leczinska. Had not she some special 
int«rcet in the Young Pretender, he neing 
the son of a PoUsli woman?

* Facts relative to the State of Children who

the Suppression of the Inhuman Practice 
of cniployin^r Young Cliildren to sweep

Sir Richard Wliittington (Mayor 1419-20) 
to King Henry V. 

Prof. W. W. Skeat in the small but 
interesting book ' Tlie Past at our Doors ' 
relates : — 

" In the early days whon sugar, which seems to 
have come into Europe through the Arabs after 
the Crusades, had uot been introduced, wild 
Jioney from the woods was used instead. Even 
'ivhen introduced (in the form of the violet- and 
roeo-colourcd sugar, for instance, which reached 
Ehagland from Alexandria in the reign of Henry 
VII.) it long continued to be regarded as a rare 
and costlv spice, and it remained bo up to the 
time of the discovery of America at the end of 
the fifteenth century-. It was first refined and 
made into loaves by a Venetian, the * loaves * 
being mentioned in the reign of Henry VIII."

Cobden's Statue in St. Pancbas (12 S. 
iii. 608). — ^In reply to the inquiry of H. 
C — ^N I can state that there is no connexion 
between the i>arish of St. Pancras and 
Richard Cobden. I cannot give any exact 
reply to the question why the site was 
chosen, except that it was a vacant space and 
it was thought that it might as well be filled 
by a bad statue. T. Fibheb Unwtn. 

CUTTTNC THE HaIB AS A PbESEBVATI\T2 

AGAINST Headache (12 S. iii. 250, 307, 
484). — ^A heavy crop of hair is often regarded 
as being the cause of headaches. One of 
my brothers had his thick thatch thinned in 
order to prevent his suffering from the pain ; 
and I think long or heavy hair is considered 
exhausting to the system of weedy little girls. 

St. Swithin. 

Lettebs fbom H.M.S. Bacchante : W. 
Johnson Yonoe (12 S. iii. 328, 363, 450, 
483). — ^The connexion of Wm. Johnson 
Yonge with Sir Joshua Reynolds is not a 
little interesting. The Johnsons were Read- 
ing merchants. Samuel Johnson, bom in 
1685, son of Samuel of Reading, became a 
student of Christ Church, Oxford, and was 
given the College living of Great Torrington 
in Devonshire. His son William, who was 
Mayor of Torrington in 1757, married 
Elizabeth, sister of Sir Joshua Reynolds, 
and was the father of " the beautiful Fanny 
Johnson '* who married Archdeacon Yonge, 
and was mother of the writer of the letters. 
Joshua and EUizaboth Re3rnolds were chil- 
dren of the Rev. Samuel Reynolds, Master of 
Flympton Grammar School. Joshua, after- 

■wards the celebrated painter, was bom 
there in 1723, and, after being knighted in 

JTO^ /became Mayor o/.P]3rmouth m 1773. 



He was a great friend of Dr. Bumey, the 
father of Madame D' Arblay, which accounts 
for the, latter*s mention of the Johnsons 
in her Memoirs. The Johnsons are now 
merged in the familv of Furse of Halston* 
Devon, and will be found imder that name 
in Burke's ' Landed Gentry.' 

There were several intermarriages, notably 
that of William Johnson Yonge himself, who 
married his first cousin. His cousin the late 
Archdeacon Furse also married his first 
cousin, as did the latter's son, the present 
owner of Halston, whose wife was a Miss 
Dolignon, a great-granddaughter of Arch- 
deeMX>n Yonge of Swafiham. F. H. S.

The prospect of discovering the author of this 
pirticular variety of the riddle al)out the calvx 
of a rose does not seem veiy hopeful. The ridale 
waH a favourite one, and is found in many shapes* 

Rcusner in his ' .£niginatographia,' 2nd ed.» 
1602, part i. p. 254, gives the following as 
Joachim Camerarius's : — 

Quinque una f ratres germani mat re creati, 
Flavo splendent em gestant in verticc comtnm i 
Glabri ex his duo visuntur semperquc tcnelli : 
Sed tres promissa comes horrescere barba : 
Quorum gratus odor citris fiorpntibus exit. 

This is followed by a Greek version of the same 
author, beginning : — 

On p. 373, aiuong ' iRniginnta incertomm 
auctorum,* we hav;c a form in three lines dosely 
akin to that quoted by JMxi. Randall Davibb 9^ 

Kosa. 
Quinque vides natos una de matre creatoe. 
Sunt duo barbati, barba(|ue carent duo nati, 
QuintuB et omatus partim, partim spoliatus. 

To this a note is appended : '* Cortices rosanuii - * 
vocant sive /ilaba.*«troK, calycis parti's.** A oom* 

Sirison of these last lines with those quoted hf 
R. Da VIES tells against his proposed insertion. 

On p. 380, among ' .£nigmaia qua^azn mi»? 
cellanea,* we get the riddle in a couplet : — 

Sunt quini fratres, sub eodem tempore nati : 
Barba duobus a best, et tribus ilia subest. 

The fivefold division of the calyx is agaJn • 
referred to in a <listich by Jacobus Susius, g^hren 
on p. 369 : — 

Quintuplici strophio subtufl circumque rccinete 
Quam Zephyro rides vere nitente calyx !

tinguiah one Ittenuy Brticlo in The CrUiaa 
iteview from another may at first ei0A 
appear ae practicabb an undertaking as to ' 
dtecrimiaato between TweotUodum and 
TwMtlledee. It ie true Uiat they conaat 
tor the most pait of colourless summariM 
witli meagre comment, and probably maiiT 
o( Southey'a i-eviews are ef exactly ttiw 
sort, and therefore unrecognizable m the 
mass. Yet this very level of indistbietion 
brings into relief reviews which in them- 
selves have no strikingly brilliant qualities, 
but become noticeable by traces uf a ranso 
of reading wider than the commou. by tbe 
expression of opinions and interests which 
cannot belong to any random contributor, 
by touches of style which betray the genutao 
man of letters and are hopelessly out of tb« 
reach of the protesaional hack. "' I must 
be leas of the critic than atrict justice in»y 
require," Southoy wrote to liia Friend \Vyaii 
in IS04, " because my footmarks are usuiuly 
to be traced " (* Letters," ed. Waiter, i, 261), 
TKe Critical Review did not employ many 
writers of Southey'g calibre. 

Southey's attitude toward reviewing wna 
it what we commonly asBoelaI« wit-h that 
craft, particularly as it was practised in faia 
day. While pi'ofessing to hold such work 
in scorn, he neverthelees made creut demands 
of the reviewer, and observed a ecrupulous 
concern for the rights of the author under 
review. In his ideal conception it was tha 
business of the critic to have as mucli 
knowledge of the subject oa the author of 
the book on which he sat in judgment, and 
to pass hia judgment not only with lioneslv. 
but with humanity and generosity as well. 
The intellectual equipment which he brought 
to hia work consisted of an acquaint«uwe 
with a very wide range of English litera- 
ture ; a living interest in the writing of 
poetry, whicJi he was cultivating ambi- 
tiously and assiduously ; and the knowledge 
of Spanish and Portuguese literature and 
history acquired during his visits to the 
Peninsula in 1796 and 1800. But it was 
on his mor^ virtues as a reviewer that 
Southey CHpecially prided himself : —

In a letter to Jolin May (ed. Warter, 
i, M7) Southey plapee his introduction to 
the fltaff of The Critical Rei>ievi at tlie 
beginning of 1798. It is indeed poseiblo 
(o discover him in the January number in 
the i^view of Aiaoe Cottle's translation of 
the * Edda.' He read this book on its 
mp^Tiince. and spoke of it in a letter of 
Kov. 11, 1797, to Thoroaa Southey :— 

•• The book ilaclf will Cot Interest yon ; it is 
only CHloiiliil«d (or thiwie whu ntnd}' mytbolinty 
la |nD«nil, tho ivnt1i)iiities ot the north, or who 
fC*d to ooili'rt images for poobT : it happens to 
suit roe in all theac polnlA." — Ed. Wartvr, i. 40. 

These are exactly the points which The 
Critieai Review dwells on. With charaot«r- 
ietio generosity Southey exagfieratee the 
merite of the book. His concluding poasage 
roftde;— 

".We consider this work ae n valuable addition 
to Utc llt«rDtuiv ot this country. The histortnn 
wHl And In It the creed or his anceston : and the 
po«t wUl acquire a variety 
adapted for piK'Iry by their 






iuhlimity." 



It dnee not militate against the probability 
of Southey' B authorship that the reviewer 
guotoa a passage in praise of Mary WoU- 
fitonecraft from a poein of his own prefixed 
to Cotlte's volume. Southey had recently 
toot her and conceived a wholehearted 
admirtttion, which he took every occaeioa 
to communicate to his friends. 

Id the samo number there ia an article 
on ' Odes and Miscellanies by Robert Farren 
Cbeetham ' which we should like to give to 
Sonthey bocauso it so happily exempllBes 
his formiila for giving pleasure to worthlees 
writers. Without a suspicioa of irony, 
the roviewer speaks of the advantages of 
«xevcise in poetry. And there ia one 
BOQtence which carries the impress of a 
euperior poetic feeling : — 

" Ue who is acpiutonitd lii Oc>nt«niF>lati- what

Tills Alight n<vi«w may with Mmi« proba-

of the familiarity which it displays with 
Spanish literature. The following rvmAria 
would point to the likelihaod, at any tale, 
of its haWng been done by the same nuo 
who wrote the review of Escoiqoiz'a

NOTES AND QUERIES. [128.iv.fm.^i9m. 



Wb mast request oorrespondeDts desiriDg iu«

to affix their names and addresses to their Queries, 
iD order that answers may be sent to them direct. 

Mebedpth's * Essay on Comedy ' : John 
Stuabt Mill.— In his * Essay on Comedy ' 
Meredith speaks of " that poor princess who 
ran away with the waiting-man, and, when 
both were hungry in the forest, was ordered 
to give him flesh." Can anv one refer me 
to the source of this story ? Or has Meradkh 
invented it 7 

Again, Meredith says : '* Tlie French have 
a school of stately comedy. .. .and their 
having such a school is mamly the reason 
why, as John Stuart Mill pointed out, they 
know men and women more accurately 
than we do." I have found passages in 
Mill from which Meredith might draw some 
such inference (see the essays on Armand 
Carrel and Alfred de Vignv, in Mill's * Dis- 
sertations and Discussions ), but no passcige 
which Meredith directly echoes. Fossibly 
ono of your reekders can do better off-hand 
than I, for I have tried nearly every ex- 
pedient to identify the passage, short of 
reading the works of ^lill outright.

General Grant on Wellington.— In

invited to dine at Apsley House* and, 
seeing the portrait of the great Duke, said : 
** Ah ! I have commanded more divisiona 
than that man ever commanded regiments,- 
and yet what a lot of talk there has been 
about liimi" I would like to learn what 
foundation there is for tliis stoiy. I re«

NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. iv. fm.. ww. 



In Davenport Adams's ' Dictionary of 
English Literature' it is stated that the 
name Pickwick is said to have been taken 
from the duster of houses whidi formed, 
we are told» the last resting stage for coaches 
going to Bath. 

VVlLLOUGHBY MaYCOOK. 

Mr. Justice Darling was quite right. 
The remarks of Sam Wcller in chap. xxxv. 
of * Pickwick ' leave little room for doubt 
that Dickens took the name from the coetch 
proprietor, smd this opinion is confirmed 
by the fact that the route taken by Moses 
Pickwick's coach» *' The Regulator," was 
by way of Devizes, and did not pass through 
the village of Pickwick, wliich is on the 
Chippenham road. It is most unlikely that 
the coaches running on the latter road 
changed horses at Pickwick, and no inn at 
that village is mentioned in Gary's ' Itin- 
erary.' 

Mr. C. G. Harper in his 'Bath Road' 
says: — 

" Moses Pickwick (the coach proprietor) was 
the great-grandson of one Eleazcr PickT^ick, 
who, many years before, had risen by degrees 
from the humble position of post-boy at the Old 
Bear at Bath to be landlord of the once famous 
White Hart Inn. Eleazer Pickwick ^as a 
foundling, discovered as an infant on the road to 
Pickwick. He was named by the guardians, in 
occordancc with old custom, after the place." 

The • Bath Directory ' for 1833 mentions 
three Pickwicks : Eleazer, an alderman and 
magistrate ; Capt. Pickwick, who lived in 
Queen Square, two doors from the residence 
of Angelo Cyrus Bantam, M.C. ; and Moses, 
the coach proprietor and landlord of the 
White Hart. T. W. Tyrrell.

would have been of greater interest if w» 
had been told wlio tliia John Pepys was 
and if his place in tho pedigree had boon 
indiw.tcd. 

1 venture to think that th« writer i» 
wrong in aasuming tliat the forename ol 
" Cozen Pepya of Salifibiuy Court " wns 
John ; more pro^bly it was £dward^ 
Edward PepyeT'^ Broomthorpe and th« 
Middle Temple (who married Elizabeth, 
daughter of John Walpole), was, it woulii 
seem from an entry in the register of bu>- 
tiania of St. Brides, Fleet Slreet> living in 
that parisli in 165.^. 

He had a son Edward, who was both borD> 
and baptized in tlic parish, as appears frma 
tho following entry : — 

" I6S6. Bdward, Hon of Edwurd PspU Oqr 
wite BlizAbetb was iKime tJi? «Bnie dur and 
buptiacd alsoc, the lltb of .IiUy,*' 

Edward Pepys, the father, was brotlier to- 
Mrs.' Jane Turner (the wife of Serjeant John 
Turner, and cousin to Samuel), and from- 
passages in the ' Diary ' seema to bavw 
Uved with the Sei^eant and his wife ; and 
in Uieir house he died, and from it was 
buried. "Oioy lived in Salisbury Court. 

I have recently been enabled to mak<> 
research in a new field and been able to clear 
np some difhculties in the Pepys genealogy..

TAhicAitDS WITH Medai£ Insebtkd (12 S. 
iii. 445, 483, 520; iv, 23),— In the majority 
of instances where old coins and medals are 
found inserted in antique nilver piec^eB 
examination reveals the fact that thege- 
additions are of comparatively modem 
application. It ia occaaionally a practice 
amongst silversmiths of to-day to insert ia 
modem articles coins of the period of th« 
old silver specimens they have reproduced i 
as, tor instance, a Queen Anno shilling In 
the front panel of an octagon sUde-bottom 
tea-caddy, a Charles I. 6ve-ahilling piece in 
the base of a small tazEA, a James II. coiu 
in the bottom of a cupping-bowl, &e. 

Punch-ladles without coins anil with 
circular plain bowls were mnde in the Uine 
of Georgi! I., those with a sliapod and Holed 
doublo-Iipped bowl during tho Gwwg* U.

fashioned, arc usually found on both kinds 
of these ladles. In the time of George III. 
the bowls of many punch-ladles were 
hammered out of five-shilling pieces, and 
in such instances the lettering on the outer 
rim of the coin is still visible : these ladles 
usually have a shilling of Queen Anno or 
■George I., II., or III. inserted in the base 
of the bowl. These sliillings are very often 
gilt, and consequently they are sometimes 
mistaken for gold coins. At tliis period it 
was usual for the ladles to have whalebone 
handles with neat silver tips tapering to a 
point. Punch-ladles of these patterns are 
still fairly plentiful, but those in which 
<^een Anne and George III. guineas have 
been inserted are very scarce.

" HEtTEWERC " (12 S. iv. 14).—This is bad

meaning carved work (literally hewed work), 
just as a sculptor is called in German a 
Dildhauer (literally picture-hewer). 

Walter Winans. 

Stratmann's 'Middle English Dictionary' 
does not include this word, but as it seems 
to be compounded of fieue or Atu^e, domestic, 
from hiw (heow), a family, and were (weorc), 
labour, work, it should refer to work done 
by servants kept at a house or farm.

SODTHBY'S CONTRIBUnONS TO 

'THE CRITICAL REVIEW.' 

(Se« ante, p. 36.) 

Tick review of the ' Lyrip^ Balladg,' 
which appeared iii October, 1708. if 
Soutliey's. Wordsworth refers to the aathor- 
abip in n letter to Jo§eph Cottle coroplajoing 
of Its utitriendly tone ( I^U-re (iJ tlie Wordit- 
worth Faioily. i- I'22). I-«nib addresaea 
Sonthey on Nnv. 8, 1798. as follows : " If 
yoH wroW liwit review in Tfie CritictU RevUto 
1 am son-v you are so sparing of praise to 
•The Ancient Mariner' "'; yet Mr. E. V. 
Luuas in lus note on tliis passage hesitatea 
over Ih« attrihution. Any lingering doubt 
that may exist on this point is, however, 
diRpellcil by a letter to \VilUam Taylor.

The article was written during the poriod

toward C'.'lffiilge'a jiaem it was partioularly

Thia wna a leeaon in geneiositv* 
not long aft«r, a complete reconciUi 
brought about between Coleridge i 
Southey, the lfttt<T no doubt preifer-" 

veil of oblivion should rest ov«

The rest of the review does i 
conspieuously against justice, 
understand wliy it should havo fail 
satisfy Wordsworth, for it falls far a 
the exalt«d tribute which i 
later learned bs pay him. But it {a ^ 
to accuse Southey, as Prof. Harper I 
of carefully planning an attacik and br 
ing ita ptibhcation undidy with the i 
of injuring the sale of the %'olum*) ('L 
Wordaworth,' i. 3S1). It i»Tolv«a i 
gratuitous Bssiimption that Southvy anp«{

MARGARET DOUGLAS 

(AFTERWARDS RICHARDSON) 

AND THE YOUKG PRETENDER. 

Whh.e I was in Cumberland in 1877. ox- ' 
ploring the Roman Wall, I stayed on tbd 
night of Jane 30 at Brampton, which tOWO I 
I reached at 5.20 p.u. In the course of ttw ] 
evening e, Mr. Cheesbrou^h of that plooiv ' 
who had become quite blind, called at tha 
inn to tell what he knew about the WaU; 
but he went on to relate many local tA(U- , 
tionH. particularly about Margaret DoujolaBt 
who had "come with the Pretender In J 
174.'), and waa present when the keys of 
Carlisle Castle were presented to Pdnoe | 
Charles in a house iti High Cross Str««t, , 
Brampton, otherwise called So litter Bow. ' 
The house waa called the Freemasons' Arms, 
and was then {\»Ti) occupied by Mr. Ooorge 
Rowntree, grocer. The graveHtoDe of Mw- 
garet {who seems to have been A sort of 
prototype of Sii' Walter's Meg Morriliea) 
was dug up by one Porker, while looking 
for a Roman road in or near the diuiehyard. 
It had been defaced by order ot "UtanceUor 
Roinehaw." the vicar having reported iit fta 
being profane and unfit to remain ia tb» ** 
churchyard. Ite being tliere placed U KD 
epitaph was a condition attachwl by her 
will on devising her property to hnr husbaod'B 
nephew " Di^y Richardson." whom sbe 
used to make to come and play cards vritb 
her on Sundays. She was a tAll, hondaomo, 
dark, gaunt woman ; she used to walk about 
at night with a gold-headed couc, and sha 
waa accounted a witch. Her epitaph waa 
repeated to me by Mr. Cheeebrough, and 
taKen down in my notebook as follows ; —

March A.i). hdccclti. 

" The co«it of the erection was defrayed partly 
by voluntary subecriptions, partly by the 
xrastees of the adjacent Turnpike Roads, and the 
remainder by Rates assessed upon the property 
within the Borough." 

The arcliitoct of the bridge was Mr. 
James Samuel, and the contractor Mr. 
James Taylor. 

A service of plate was presented to 
Mr. Workman in 1857, and the following 
was inscribed on the epcrgne : — 

** September, 1857. Presented to Ilcnry Work- 
man, Rsqaire, as a Testimonial of his public services 
In connexion with the Evesham Bridge. For the 
purchase of this epergne and other pieces of plate 
the sum of 315{. was raised by public subscription.*' 

George Leach Ashworth. 

Kochdale. — ^This statue stands in the 
centre of the large ornamental garden in 
Broadfiold Park, facing the Town Hall. 
It was unveiled in the presence of 15,000 
people by the late Mr. T. B. Potter. M.P., 
on Juno 1, 1878. The sculptors were 
Messrs. W. & T. Wills, and it cost 800 
guineas. 

*'The stntue is placed on a granite pedestal 
10 feet high ; the llgun* itself is 8 feet high, 
and is cut out of a solid block of hard Sicilian 
marble which weighed 4 tons. It is of a light 
grey colour, harmonizing well with the tone of the 
pedcatQl, and weighs 1 ton 15 ewt. The attitude 
of the figure is spirited and dignified and full of 
energy ; the likeness is pronounced a most faith- 
ful one.'* 

On the pedestal is the following inscrip- 
tion : — 

Alderman G. L. Ashworth J.P. 

Twice 

Mayor of Rochdale. 

Bom August 1st 1823 

Died August 6th 1873. 

Erected by public subscription 

in loving remembrance of a 

devoted friend of the People 

1877. 

Although Uie date 1877 appears in the 
above inscription, arrangements were not 
forward enough to allow of its unveiling 
in that year. 

EDlfUMD C. BXTBTOK. 

Daventry, Northamptonshire. — On Feb. 4, 
191 19 the Gothic cross erected to the memory 
of the late Mr. £. C. Burton, on the Market 
EUlly was inaugurated without ceremony. 
It is 39 feet high, and constructed of Ketton 
stone from a design by Mr. W. J. Pullen. 
It consists of four stages, and is mounted 
on a calvaiy of four steps. The lower stage 
18 square with four open arches displaying 
m aquare osotraJ Abaft. The second stage 



is also square, the lower faces conaisting of 
arcading, and the upper faces of arwied. 
panels divided by mullions and 
The third stage is octagonal, with 
arched panels. The fourth stage is a 
crocketed spire with finial. Springing from 
the angles of the two lower stages rise 
slender shaftis connected with the main 
structure by flying buttresses. Beneath the 
arclied opening is a bronze drinking-fountain 
att£K!hed to the west side of the cealaral 
shaft. Above it on a bronze plate is in- 
scribed as follows : — 

" To the Memory of Edmund Charles Burtcmr 
M.A., of The Lodge, Daventry. Born Sep- 
tember 4th, 1826. Died August 20th, 1911. 
Educated at Westminster School and at Christ 
Church, Oxford." 

On another plate on the north side is the 
following : — 

" This memorUl was placed here in remembmnce 
of Edmund Charles Burton by mcmben past and 
present of the National Hunt Committee, his 
personal friends, and other^i who esteemed him. 
A Btaunch Churchman, a renowned sportsman, and 
a man greatly beloved. By his life he set an 
example of what a true English gentleman should 
be, and whether in sport, business or ploasurea 
it can be truly s«iid of him ' sans peur et 
reproche.* **

Artemis Aphaia. — ^Up to the present^ no 
attempt has been made to explain the 
epithet Aphaia, given to Artemis at tiia 
Athenian temple in i$2gina. Tlie double 
name may be dae to a compromise be t ween 
the Athenian founders and the people who 
were on the site before them. It is generallj 
agreed that Aphaia had a local cult at lE^jam 
(Furtwangler, * ^Eglna," vol. I., Efnleltung). 

Now there is evidence that at Rhode^ 
Thera, and zEgina (Hall, * Oldest dviliisatioil 
in Greece/ pp. 237, 286, n. 2) there wer» 
Phoenician settlements, and It Is reasonable 
to infer that the new-comers miist have 
brought with them somo elements of their 
worship. The suggestion now offered is 
that the goddess ' Aphaia was of SemltlB- 
origin. The equation may be put thus :— 

A^AIA=nfl* (=beautiful). 
The final A is the feminine termination. 






It will bo objected that the Greek 
literatlon does not show the initial *I soundt C 
of the supposed original; besides tlil%-, l 
A^AIA, without an *I at the banning, ii^>; 
the form found In Pausanlas, Hesycblus, anA' - 
elsewhere; yet the treatment c^ fcmlip'

When Spenser wro(«, "Sans" was 
common use as an Engli»h word. From I 
the thirteenth century to the scventeeulti | 
it was variously spelt ; saun. Ban. sa 
sauitz, saunt, sain, saing. sanz. and aa 
The apelling seems to Indicate that it v . 
commonly pronounced " San." and not ia \ 
the modem French manner. • 

The word "Saint" has gone tlirouch 
like variety of pronunciation and of speiUcg I 
— the 'Holy Grail being spoken of aa 8wk J 
Grail, and the Sanctua ball being called 1 
Sans bell, Sawnse bell, and Saunoebell. I 
Terminal letters ore very apt to bewareloiJy I 
dealt n'ith, especially if the syllable . u 1 
unaccented. It is ordy with oxtreme car^ 
that the last letter in '' Saint " can be mods 
audible ; and St. George would bo pro- 
noimced. an it still ia. " San George," Uio 
first syllable in Spenser being alwo^ i 
unaccented. J 

Ttie poet write« wifh such enthusiOMD i| 
of the i^oiirage and knightly skill of < 
three brothers that j-ou would be moved to J 
lament their don-nfall, if he did not t«U I 
vou that their names mean Lawless, Faith- I 
te«s, and Joyless ; for the allegory repreaenta i 
the conflict of goodness, not against ep(">|7 I 
declared wrong, but against fraud Unl 1

Stairs.'* Can anybody kindly give the 
explanation of these names ? Inqtjirer. 

Pre-Raphaelite Tapestries. — Can any 
one tell me where Burne- Jones and Wm. 
Morris (i.e., Pre-Raphaelite) tapestries may 
be found in Gi-cat Britain ? I have a fairly 
complete list of the Pro-Raphaelito stained 
glass, and now wish to get together ono of 
the tapestries with their subjects. 

Wm. M. Dodson. 
238 Westmoreland !Roud, Nc\vcastle-on-Tyne. 

North-Country Customs. — I shoidd be 
glad to know what old eoimtry customs

Wlio was it who coUected sub8criptiom» 
about fifty years €tgo, to plant Loiidon*» 
public gardens with flowers ? Thesja were 
promptly stolon. He tried i^o, with the 
same result : tried a third time, when the 
public recognized the good intended for 
them, and thenceforth protected the flowere 
from further pillage. This public-spirited 
man died about 1914. XVho was he T

St. Declan's Stone, Ardmob£» oo. 
Waterford. — Will one of yoiir Lish corre- 
spondents give some information as to the 
above ? 

1. Date of the first known reference to 
this stone, and where the reference may 
be found. 

2. How long has the stone occupied its 
present position ?

as the rocks on wliich it rests ?

" Barleymow " : ITS Pronunciation. — 
Tlie Oxford Dictionary gives the phonetic 
pronunciation of *' barleymow *' as if the 
last syllable rimed with *' how." " Mow," 
as to mow the grass, is pronounced aa 
" mo," and " mow," a stack of hay, as 
" mow." I have asked over fifty people 
how they pronounce " barleymow,' ^ and 
they with one accord pronounce it as 
"barleymo," and cite an old well-knowa 
song called ' The Barleymow ' as so pro- 
nounced. Will your readers kindly inform 
me which is the correct pronunciation ? 

31AIJRICE Jonas. 

Bishop John Bu("keridge or Buck- 
RiDCE. — Can any reader give details of the 
life and ])lace of burial of the above-ziamed 
personage ? I have reasons for believins 
that he was a Bishop of Rochester, and 
master of one of the Cambridge colleges, 
about the time of the Reformation or BOoa 
aftervvarda. Chas. T. BuckeridoE.

JERUSALEM : THE HOLY SEPULCaSRE. 

(12 S. iv. 46.) 

In The Pall Mall Magazitie of April, 1898, 
pp. 577-85, is an article entitled ' Five Weeks 
iii Jerusalem,' signed Mildred Beresfovd 
Hopc\ There ai-e nine reproductions of 
photographs, the largest of wliich (about 
t) in. by 5 in.) is ' Interior of the Holy 
Sepulclnx^.' There are five persona in at- 
tcMidance, probably Greek priests or monkB. 

Then^ used not to be, as far as I remember, 
any difliculty about buying such photo- 
graphs. I have one (about 11 in. by 9 in.) 
which, I suppose, I bought at Jerusaiemf 
when theiv in ISSl. In this there are two 
attendants, perhaps Franciscan monks.

THE TAXATION OF 
ARMORIAL BEARINGS. 



(12 S. : 



. 12.) 



0. J.'a iaquiry as to the incidence of I 
law imponijig a tax on armorial bea 
opens up a very intereeting question ; _ 
as to the reotrtclion placi'd upon thm 
individual use of them ; ami. second]^ i 
to the effect such a tas may have uj" 
kindred antiquarian objects of vuiae i 
interest. 

I may say that this is not the Kist t 
that tlus subject — at all events oB 
tlie first category — has been diacuased 1 
' N. 4 Q.' I suppose there are few subto 
of heraldic interest that have not a 
discussed in its columns during the du 
seventy years of its existence. In *' 
(10 S. ii. 328) a cognate question was n 
by Zeta as to the right of individi^ 
niembers of a family to weav or u 
family heraldic insignia (in this pai 
case the wearing of a crest ujion a _ 
ring) whilst still remaining an int«gial G 
of the family, and not paying any additic 
tax to that of their head. In the foDow; 
volume (iiL 392') 1 ventured to answer tl, 
question, at tlie same time somewlu 
extending the scope of the inquiry. 
tliat article I would now refer your ct>m*J 
spondent. 

But whilst doing so ma^ I call attcutkt 
BO far as I can, to tlie particular laws b""-''^ 
upon the subject ? 

In earlier timee, as we all know, lher« « 
no tax. or licence required in order t 
" armorial bearings. If any Lndividui 
chose to adopt armorial insignia that r 
not his own according to heraldic t 
(i.e., by descent from a grantee of I 
arms through the College of Arms), c© 
unpleasant consequences might happnn lo.l 
hun at the instance of tlie Earl MsrdialJ 
and the Court of Cliivalry. "r possibly at tl 
suit of the rightfiil owner of those *rw 
they being his property, and constitati 
what is known by Uic common law aa 
" incorporeal hereditament,'' No lax 
licence for their user has been imp* 
until comparatnely r«>cent times. 

I was wrong. I tind, in stating that I 
idea first occiirreil to the Government of t] 
day to tnx armorial bearing for pm 
of gejipral reveroc bv the Act now ir 
of 18B9 (32 and .i:i Vic. c. 14|.

NOTES AND QUERIES. [i2B.i7.MAiicR.ima 



his brother Prince Albert, when tho Rhip was 
commissioned in 1879, and when the princes went 
round the world in it. Copies of the hymn were 
fient to the chaplain (now Canon I)alton, of 
Windsor), who had it sung at the Sunday evening 
services on board. The young princos liked the 
hyiim so much that they sent a copy home to 
their mother (Queen Alexandra), and she, with 
the princesses, sang it at home every Sunday 
evemng while the princes wore at sea. 

-In 1886 the C?haplain of the Fleet asked 
pennii>.sion to insert the hymn in the * Manual of 
Common Prsiyer at Sea,* which was readily given. 
A few years ago it was also put into a collection 
of school hymns for Wellington College, and it 
vn\3 included in the 1889 edition of * Hymns 
Ancient and Modem.* 

" During the South African War the hymn 
became a great favourite, and now again it is 
being sung frequently in pmctically every church 
in the land. In the thit^ line of the first verse 
thert^ is a curious altemtion of a word, which has 
not improved the semsc. The original has * Keep 
<mr loved ones, now far dutant,* but this lias 
been changed to * alisent * in editing." 

I have endeavoured to find further 
biographical details of this lady, but so 
far without success. Details of her paren- 
tage, birthplace, and subsequent history 
would be greatly valued by many readers.

Pauijjs Ambrosius Croke : A Skven- 
teenth-Century Account Book (12 S. 
iv. 5, 36). — Tlie five items that appear 
detailing the purchase of silver articles in 
these accounts are extremelyJJinteresting. 
If those silver articles are ntill in existence 
and they were to be sold to-day, their 
relative value would be enormous ; for 
comparatively little Jacobean silver has 
survived the Civil War whicli devastated 
the countiy a few yt^u-s subsequent to the 
datt^ enuinerat^^d. 

July, lfil3 (p. 0, col. 2), stanch'ng cup 
weighing IL 17*., and April, 1617 (p. 7, 
col. 1), 12 silver spoons, 5 //. 17 s. Is there 
not some confusion of weiglit and price in 
the above ? 

June, 1615 (p. 6, rol. 2), for a *' skinker 
pot." — It is intonating here to note that the 
weight and fashion average approximately 
6*. per oz. A '* skinker '* was a jug, a name 
now obsolete so far as silversiuitlis are 
concerned. If such a Jacobc»an piece weigh- 
ing upwards of 38 oz. were to be sold by 
auction in these times, it might realize any- 
thing up to 1,000^ 

It is also of intei-est to note the i-ecord 
of a fashion during the Stuai-t |>eriod for 
the gilding of table silver, as disclosed by 
these accounts. 

Perhaps the most enlightening gift re- 
<!Qnied m that of " two silver forks " (June, 



1625, p. 7, col. 2) for " my sister. . . .and 
niece. ..." Sa 4c?. Forks were not ofc that 
period in veiy general use, and whereas 
spoons were then appcurently presented l^ 
the dozen (see item in April, 1617, nientioned 
above), odd forks only were deemed of 
sufficient importance to be supplied as gifts 
to the better classes of those times. 

Silver forks of the ecurly Stuart- period are 
to-day extremely scarce ; whilst in the 
England of Elizabetli it was declarod from 
the pulj)it that the introduction of forks 
would demoralize the people and provoke 
di\dne wrath. F. Bradbury.

"Rapehouse" {12 S. iv. 46),— The 
rasped wood was us^ by dyers. Wagenaar 
in his admirable history of the city of 
Amsterdam devotes severed pages to a 
description of the Rasphuis, and mentions the 
following kinds of wood that were rasped 
there : Campechie, Sapan, St, Martinis or 
stock fishy Fcrnamhvk and yellow wood, Viaet — 
all suitable for dyes. 

The rapehouse at Exeter was probably 
foimded on the lines of the one at Amster- 
dam. In the seventeenth century many 
penitentiary and philanthropic instituticms 
in England were derived from those already 
in existence in the United Provinces. 
There used to be two rasphouses at Am- 
sterdam, the one a voluntary house of 
retreat, the other a |xonitentiary. See 
* Amsterdam in zyn Opkomst,' &c., by Jaa 
Wagen£Uir, city historiein (Amsterdam, 1785),

":Mjebus*' (12 S. iv. 11).— I came down

pillboxes described as " mebuses," and often 
wondered as to the origin of the word. 
One day up there I heanl two ofHcers dis- 
cussing the point, and they thought that 
'* mebus " represent etl the initials of GSenmaiL

to the identifications proposed is nixiessitaivd 
by tht) fact that both pntsent a variation la 
tiaoturiug from what might have hcpn 
expected. The branch of Penn to whicli,

with (ilates, not bezEinta. In the impalvKl 
(or wife's) coat, moreover, the aubeidlaty 
charges are seen to be worked in gold upon 
a silver field. If inaccuracy bss in this coae 
to be [ireeuttied roepectinK Uie embroidured

to be remembered also, as regards the wife's 
side of the arms, that iufringemonts of tbu

NOTES AND QUERIES. [I2 8. IV, April, 191& 



William (1644-1718), the Founder: seal 
to bond on occasion of his second mcuriage, 
to Hannah Callowhill, in 1699 ; arms, with 
a crescent above the fesse, ixnpaling those of 
his first wife (1672-93). ilia book-plate, 
however, exhibits the full Penn arms. 

Thomas (1702-76), lewt surviving son of 
the Founder : book-plate with the full arms. 

Supposing that the crescent engraved on 
the Foimder's signet exemplifying his first 
marriage made, as seems probable, but a 
temporary appearance in the insignia of his 
branch, what is there that explains its use ? 
Apparently both Sir William, the husband 
(1643) of Margaret Jasper, and the Founder, 
his son (1644-1718), were until 1664 in the 
position of yoimger sons. Popys records the 
death of George Penn, Sir William's uncle, 
on the eve of liis departure as envoy from 
Cliarles II. to Spain, on Aug. 1, 1664. Tliis 
George had married a Spam'sh leidy, and no 
progeny of his is mentioned. During the 
first twonty-ono years of his union \^'itli 
Margan^t Jas|>er (i.e., 1643 64), Sir William, 
as nephew of George, had therefore been his 
cadet. There even appears to have been, 
till some tlate unknown, a brother William 
(living in 1591 : Coleman) inteniiodiato to 
George (d. 1664) and Giles (d. 16—), who 
with three daught-ers are the grandchildren 
mentioned in the will of Williwn of IMinety, 
proved in lt592. Their father, a second 
William, whom the latter outlived, married 
Margaret, daughter of John Kastcll of 
Gloucester. What are the Hastell arms ? 

T2. Upon the front of the wallet is f*m- 
broidered a cavalier standiug beside a globe, 
which he touches with a pair of calipers. 
A dog, depicted beside him, has what can 
be seen of its collar inscribed port, and it 
has been suggested that this is possibly part 
of an allusion to Port Roynl, tlie old capital 
of Jamaica. This island Sir William Penn 
(his title was then apparently " General and 
Commander in chief * of the Fleet prepared 
for America) took from Spain on May 10-11, 
1655, with a fleet of 38 sail, and the 8,000 
troops commanded by Venables. Tlie globe 
is set with constellations that might, if 
identifiable, furnish some corroboration of 
this episode in Penn's career. " Porto 
Rico," however, as one of the possible 
objectives of the expedition, also suggests 
itself for the name of a dog in this connexion. 
Valuable considerations anent the two 
lines of Penn are given in Messrs. J. & M. L. 
Tregaskis's pamphlet upon * The Penn Relics 
. — removed from Penn Church,* 1899, 
fpA/ab should be conaulted in addition to the 



authoritiee cited in Marshall's * Genealogist's 
Guide.' It reproduces rubbings of braasea 
at Penn, two of which show the family anus 
impaling another, not apparently identified :

SOUTHEyS CONTRIBUTIONS TO 

*THE CRITICAL REVIEW.' 

(See ante^ pp. 35, 66.) 

Anoebson's * British Poets,' January, 1799- 
— ^This review may be safely dcumed for 
Southey on the strength of the correspond- 
ence between the views hero expressed and 
those in Southey' s Introduction to his own 
' Specimens of the Later English Poets ' 
(1807). There is often, also, a similarity 
of phrasing in the two articles which would 
suggest that Southey followed the review 
in The Critical, if he did not inTite it. 

There is in the firat place an agreement 
as to the principle of selection ; — 

'* If it should be deemed necessary' to exclude 
nonie, we are decidedly of opinion that all wfao 
were popular in tlieir own time should be admitted. 
They characterise tlie tast^^ and hi£tor>' of tlieir 
respective ages, and should thew^fon* be rc-editcd, 
though their fame may be no longer great." — 
Critical Kevietc, xxv. 42*. 

*' My buMiiness was to collect Bpecimens as for 
a hortua aiccua .... to exhibit specimens of every 
writer, whose verses appear in a substantive form, 
and find their places upon the shelves of the 
collector. The taste of the publick may be better 
estimated from indilTereut Poets than from good 
ones ; bt^causc the fomiop write for their con* 
temporaries, the latter fur posterity. Cleveland 
and Cowley,, who were both more popular than 
Milton, characterise their age more truly-"^. 
* Specimens,* p. iv. 

Tlie resemblance in tlie estimates of the 
English poets appears strikingly in a number 
of passages, and there are no discrepancies. 
It is not merely the value put upon the 
older poets and the depreciation of the 
school of Pope that attracts attention and 
puts the reviewer, with Southey, among the 
Romantic critics, but exactly the same 
names are used in illustration, even ^diea 
they are those of less familiar poets. In 
the first of the following pairs of paaBagOS 
the ideas are not precisely the namflit 
but the phraseology suggests uiat the

ut it is CMinfuBioa that hoa a very int^T* 
esting historical explanation. 

As is well known, the pound of inoitay 
was originally so named beeauae it was a 
pound vxight at silver. From this fftot 
arose the practice (extremely common in 
the Middle Agee, and by no means liniitMl 
to the precious metala) of expressing weight 
in pounds and aiiillings. To say that Sn 
article weighed 101. 59. meant merely that 
it weigtied 10} lb. This was fairly dear 
so long as the original weights of the coins 
were preserved, but with the depreciation 
of the currency oomplicatioos Degin to 
appear. This is well illu»tratod by many 
of the records printed in Riley's ' MemoriaU 
of London ana London Life.' For instoocs, 
in l.')79, on the occasion of a deposit of 
jewels by the King with the City Corporation 
to secure a loan, one of the items is 12 hanopa 
of gold " weighing bv goldsmiths' weight 
91. 16«. 8rf., and valu'ed at IS'l. 13». id."

Three mistakes. 

Di Macaulay's Life of Johnson there are 
several errors. tTotuiaon nailed ble We 
" Tetty," M&caulay quotes it as " Titty," 
Macaulay B»ys that Johnson printed * | 
translatioD of " a I^jitin book about ] 
Abyssinia." It was a French veraion of A ' 
Latin original whiuh waa never printed. 

Macaiilay quotes a question of BosweJl'a 
to Jobntou ae " What would you dn, ^, 
if Tou were locked up in n l«wer with K ' 
baiiy 7 " His ijuestion was : " If, air, you 
were shut up in a castle and a nev 
cbiJtl with yiju, what would you do ! " 

He quoteia Johnson's dufinilion of a pension i 
as " pay given to a state hireling to betray 1 
his country." Johnson's definition is : " An i 
allowance made to any one mtJiout on I 
equivalent. In England it is generally > 
tmderstood to mean pay given to a itftto 
hireling for treason to his country."

Lorwick. 

Prof. Montofoie in bis erlition of Uie 
' Essays ' hae exposed an astonishing mass 
of misquotation, inacrruraey, and even 
invention on the part of Macaulay. The 
misquotations are largely due to his faUure 
to verify his referwneo. In the ' Bvron * lio 
misquotes Byron'x opinion of MiIl.on. Di

The Knifegmkdee (12 S. iii. 210, 312).— 
The barrow of the travelling knifegrinder 
ia apparently of considerable antiquity, and 
waa not an institution of tliia country alone. 
Tt may have been thouglit by some tiiat tho 
place of its origin waa the faoine of the 
I'Utlvry tra>Ic ; but it is jimt as possible that 
tfas tint of these traveUinfi; workshops made 
its appearance on the Continent. Invol. i. of 
"La ContoUerie." by CamJUe Pflg6 (1896),

AnTnoNY Todd, Secret art of the 
■0.?.O. (12 S. iv. U).— Concerning the ante- 
cedenta of this gentleman I am iinable t« 
Bpeak, but he raided in WaitJiamstow, had 
property there, his cliild van bom and 
married there, her cliildrea were baptized in 
the parisli church, and he Iiimself was laid 
to rest in the churchyani in 1708. In his 
■official capacity as secretary to the Post- 
master- General he wrote the letter to 
Benjamin Franklin on Jan. 31, 1774, dis- 
minsing him froiu liin position of Deputy 
roHtmBfiter-Oenera! for America. He was 
a frequent attendant at the Waltliamstow 
Vestry Meetings, and proposed the en- 
closure of tlio Clonmion Fields ; but, this 
pmving unpopular, the matter was dropped, 
thoufjih the thanks of tlio Vestry were voted 
to liim for his trouble on Nov, II, 176S. 
I possess his marriage settlement, a lengthy 
doeument whereby ho receives an portion 
with his intended' wife 2,0001., with a con- 
tingent sottlcmcnt of a further 3,0001. 
From this docmncnt I can construct the 
following Eihort pedigree of his wife : — 
ADdrewB=Mary 

JoDathai) .Anne=pChriBtopher Wilhiim 

(d. before Robinson. (d. Wore 

17*0). I ' 17*0). 

Anne^ADtbony Todd. 

E1eanar=Rt. Hou. Jftmes Mutland. 
Thia deed describes Anthony Todd as of the 
-General Post Office, London, and Christopher 
Robinson as of the same place, Esq. It 
also nicntinns John Kobinson, Esq., of 
Appleby in Westmorland. 

Tho entry of liis datightflr's marriage in 
the Walthanistnw Parish Register reads : 
" The Rt. Hon. James Maillanrl, Esq. 
(commonly called Lord Viscount Maitland), 
(Hid Eleanor Todd were married in tlie 
dwv})iag house ot Anthony Todd, Esq. 
^pacial licaace, IS Aug., 17S2." 



Other Todd entries occur in the Pariah 
Register between 1888 end 1828, but I am 
unable to connect them with Anthooj. 
One recording the marriage of Thomu 
Bywater, parish of St. Stephen, Coleman 
Street, and Eleanor Todd, Feb. 8, 1754, 
is interesting because of tho oceurrenea ot 
the name Eleanor ; and as his only child 
bore this name, it is possible that the entry 
may record a Hecond marriage of his moUier, 
"- perliaps tliat of a sister.

A query of mine appeared at II 8. x, 008, 
asking for information about " A. B. Burt, 
Miniature Portrait Painter. " Col. SotJTRAM 
is in all probability aaldag about the sama 
man. I asked for private information, aod 
two kind correspondents gave ine some facta 
about the artist, but I should like to know 
more about him. Redgrave's ' Dictionary 
of Artists ' and the ' D.N.B.' have arttdea 
on him. I snbjotn a few facts which I hftve 
gathered about him. 

Albin Roberts Burt was bom in 1784, , 
apparently in London. He commenced Iil« 
as an engraver, and was a pupil of BoboTt ] 
Thew and of Benjamin Smith (put^ of 
Bortolozzi) ; but, &iding bimaolf not able ^ 
to excel as an engraver, he took to painting 
heads, and mode a considerable fortune as » , 
miniature painter. He exlkJbited at the J 
Royal Academy in 1830. Ho is described hy ] 
one correspondent as an " itinerant £«oe- 
painler" He evidently lived in many

The Hifdory of Totnen Priory and Medieval Town , 
Devonshire, together tcith the Sieter Priory id 
Tyxcurdfcath, Com^ralL Compiled from Ori- 
ginal llecords by Hugh R. Watkin. With 
Photographs, Plans, and Map. 3 vols. (Pub- 
lished by Uie Author, Chclston, Toxqtiay. 
21. 10«. net.) ^ ' 

This is the most comprehensive work of its 
character that it has been our pleasure to wel- 
come for some time. Mr. Watkm deserves well 
of his county of adoption, and the assiduous band 
of Devon antiquaries amongst whom he works 
are to be congratulated on their new colleaigue. 
In his preface Mr. Watkin pays generous tribute 
to those who have in any way assisted him, and 
throughout his volumes the 'value of his work 
is enhiinced by exact references to authorities 
and to other workers in the same field. 

Mr. Wotkin's story of the discovery of the 
deeds upon which his work is based is one of 
exti-crmo iuten'st. A small wooden box be- 
longing to Mr. W. G. Hole of Bovcy Tiacey 
was found to contain one hundred and 
twenty-nine parchment deed^, which proved to 
be the original charters of Totnes Priory. They 
had probably not been examined since the days 
when they passed, with the prt»perty of the monks, 
into lay hands. A memomndum on the lid of 
the box says " A number of small and very 
ancient deeds respecting Totton and Eiiin- 
w<'are,'* to which another hand has added " Ncm 
nmltum valent." Krcmi this estimate of their 
value Mr. Watkin dissented, and the A-olumes 
before us represent the result of seveml yeaifc' 
study of this alinust unique find. 

The first volume of the work was issued in 
1014, and bears the sub title ** Chronolo^cal 
Kecx)rd.*' It contains the history of the town 
and priorj' as told in the charters. These ]fr. 
\Vatkin has tmnslated. and presents in an abbi«- 
viated form. For these translations many 
students will l>e grateful, but arguments oonld 
be adduced in favour of printing transcriptions 
rather than (or, still better, in addition to) 
translations. However, to some extent **!■ 
want is supplied in vol. ii., in which the &ioi« 
important deeds are clearly n»produced. 

The first of these reprtiductions is of the 
original charter of the foundation of TVstnes Z 
Priorv by ** Juhclhis filius ^Vluredi " in 108& * 
No. II., a most interesting document, is a oon- 
firmation by Henry I. of gnmts by Roger da . 
Nonant, and bears, against their names, the 
actual crosses of those concerned in the ezecn- •*■ 
tion of the deed, including the marks of the 
King and the Queen. Plat<' X. is a reproduction 
of a grant by Alfredus, son of Willelmus de Fonta.: 
This undated document is assigned to aboBt!^ 
1109. As Mr. Watkin remarks, the handwritiq ' 
is very uncommon, it is also very ornate, but J 
the sanie time clear, so that it should prove 4* 
value to those interested in naUeograpfr' 
Plate XII. — from the Totnes OuUd BoDa- 
equally valuable as a specimen of what is ^ 
sidcred to be the oldest guild roll extant. D 
rolls, Mr. Watkin says, date from the twt 
century. They were reported upon in 187S

THOMAS FULLER'S FIRST \MFK. 

'OE over two hundred and fifty years th(»l 
lUTtaue of the first wife of this' famous old.1 
divine (now disclosed) has been a raysteiyr ■ 
and has eluded the inveetigations of all bis f 
biographers. From the ft.\tl-emply rare little I 
'Life' which appeared in 1661 — Utol 
of hia death— we learn lliat, while Atl 
Brood Winsor, " he was married to afl 
virtuous young grnitlewoman ; and by h6B^ 
had, bom there, his eldest son." The wittV 
of Bishop Davenant. dated Jan. 29, 1637^1 
states that her Christian natoe was Ellfwl 
or Elinor. She is montioaed as " the wU^I 
of my nephew Thomaa Fuller " Itha Bishop'afl 
sister Judith woe Fuller's motnor). 1 

Paasing over a niunber of biograplientl 
3 come to John Eglington Bailey, ivboMB 
labours of many years resulted in aa all-fl 
but exhaustive ' Life ' of 778 pages, pnb-1 
lished in IS74. In it he sap that '' thof 
family of liia [Fuller's] wife is, at preseat,! 
unknown. The writer has dili^ntly iiJ> 1 
quired after it, in many quartors, but ooM 
particulars are recoN'erable,' Bailey's buokl 
was succeeded (1886) by a ' I jfe ' by thai 
Rev. Morris t^jller, in which he saya thaXr 
the Doctor was hia ancestor, a atatcmenti 
which is without foundation. * BaQ«yl 
speculates as to the elate of the maniu^T 
which the author of the anonymous * lita'l 
seta down at " about the beginning of lim^ 
troubles in Scotland." TIuh lends to fl^ 
it in the early part of I03fl ; but tlie date oS 
the Bishop's will shoM's tJiat it must h«voL 
been at least two years earlier. It vfia oer*M 
tainly not later than lti34, becauae tbafl 
Enford regisI'T contAins the mHy o( bap-1 
tism of " Judith, daughter of Tliomtw mdW 
Elinor Fuller, of Broad ^\'insor, W ApL.J 
1635." Mk. Fuller died in Ittil. 6ir|

NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[18 8. ly. Hat. 1Mb. 



* Mexico Conquistada,' coat-ains some verse- 
translations which should bo of interest to 
students of the Spanish clement in Southey's 
poems. 

Miss Baillie's * Series of Plays/ Februfiiry, 
1803. — ^This review is claimed by Southey 
in a letter to his brother, Dec. 17, 1803 : 
** My review of Miss Baillie was for The 
Critical ; tliat in The Antiual I susiject to be 
by Mrs. Barbauld." The judgment which 
Southey pronounces in this review is the 
result not of his ordinary amiability, but of 
liis sincere critical belief. He joined with 
Scott in assigning the loftiest rank to Miss 
Baillie's * Plays of the Passions ' : — 

•* Miss Haillitr's dniiuHtic p«»\vers arc of tho 
highest ordor. Willi tho niiscr;iblo stiip:o writingH 
of the day it wuiild Ih' insult to coiunarc her ; 
nor is it luuch c(»mmeiidation to rank nor almve 
Vnung, and Rowo, and Southrrno, and such 
writers, \vhf»so Uiiiin is hold, like coriain titles and 
estfitos, by the courtesy of England. Above 
theao, aVjove Uoanniont and Fletcher, wo will not 
hesitati^ to rank her. . . .ab<"»ve even MaRsinger ; 
for she equals these writers in the iKviuty of 
detached piussages ; and, in true delineation of 
character and uniform merit, iH as far Uieir 
superior as she is ui moral principles. Why 
shouM praise be awarded only to the dead ? She 
has a near approach to Sliake<;peare ; and, if not 
connected >vith liim bv blo«Kl, has something 
superior to a mere family likeness." 

Nathaniel Bloomfield's * Poems,' April, 
1803. — ^There are only internal grounds for 
assigning tliis review to Southey. In the 
first place, there is a strong denunciation 
of atheistic morals and *' nritlunetical 
moralists."' This is a thntst in Southey's 
true vein against Malthiw, wlio was his 
bite noire and the object of one of his .severest 
articles in Tf^e Annual Remcw (vol. ii.). 
Secondly, the concluding passage in its 
general tone and tlie pointing reference to 
the review of Robert Bloomfield's poems 
(q.v.) is well-nigh mimistakable : — 

** The specimens which we have select*Ml will 
jastify us in Ijestowinc; our praise upon thus little 
volume ; an<l sincerely do we wish that public 
praise may be as ellicient in his instance, as it 
was in that of his brother. We Impe Mr. N". 
Hloomtleld will continue U> write ; but we would 
dissuade him fn^m writing in Idank verse : it 
requires a command of language, and a strength 
of tliought. which he has not yet attained." 

Three reviews of Jime, 1803, cure possibly 
from Southey's pen : (1) Link's * Travels in 
Portugal, pVance, and Spain.' There is 
nothing but the subject and perliaps a 
certain air of authority to suggest Southey. 
(2) * The Claims of Literature ; the Origin, 
^[otives. Object's, and Transactions of the 
Societv for the Kstablislunent of a Literary 
Fund. This we know to have been a 



subject near to Southey*s heart, but tlio 
article itself is colourless. (3) ' Poeoi8» 
Lyrical and Miscellaneous,' by the late 
Rev. Henry Moore. The reviewer pays his 
respects to *' a gentle, pious, and benevolent 
spirit,'' but finds '* too many glaring imita- 
tions from Milton, Gray, and. poets of 
inferior celebrity.'* Tlie substance of the 
conclusion Is what we might expect, but the 
style is too cu'tificial for Southey* s taste : — 

" In strains usually plexising, often elegant, and 
occasionally elevated, the lyre of Mr. Moore 
encourages benevolence of heart, and excites the 
purest emotions of delight, by an amiable morality, 
and an unaffected devotion." 

After tliis Southey^s traces cannot be 
followed at all. His connexion with 2%e 
Critical ReiHew must have come to an end 
about thLs time, for he was busily at work 
for the newly established A7inual Review^ 
and some passages in his correspondence 
with William Taylor show that his relations 
with the former periodical ceased before 
tho beginning of 1804. In October of that 
year Southey inquired of Taylor about a 
review of * Amadis ' which the latter liad 
written for The Critical^ and was informed 
that it had appeared in the January number. 
Southev had also written to Taylor in July 
that Th^ Critical " never falls in his way."

Crusadbb in York Min'Ster. — ^The figure 
of a Crusader — a Do Mauley — was formerly 
to bo seen in York Minster (a picture of it 
appears in Drake's * History ') ; but it 
seems to liave been removed — probably 
ckfter one of the great fires — and the whole 
or the remains of it were given to Sir S. 
Meyrick, and removed by laim to Goodrich 
Court, Momnouth. Can any one give a clue 
BA to what has become of it ? It may have 
been disposed of by sale after Sir Samuel's 
death, but, if so, to whom ? Any informa-

St. Pierre Laee, Berne. — In a codicil 
to his will I^rd Camelford (killed in a duel, 
1804) directs that his body should be taken 
to Switzerland, and buried at a sy)ot where 
three trees grow hv the Lake of *S7. Pierre^ 
canton of Berne. 1 can find no Lnk-e of 
St. Pierre in Baedeker— only the famous 
lie of St. Pierre in Lac de Bienne. 

Can any one tell me whether there is 
any piece of water in the canton of Berao 
which will an«*wer to the spot mentioned in 
Lord Camelford' s will ? Lord Camelford 
was at school at Berne, and familiar with 
the district. W. Cofjbthofe Forman.

Mr. Medop : Dr. R. Cosm.— The ' Galea- 
dar of State Papers : Domestio,* under Oct. 0» 
1581, contains the following : — 

" Sir Fr. Walsyngham to Lord BufgUey- 
Rccoumieuds the beorcr, Mr. Medop, who desIzM 
to Ft tain his followfi<hip in Trinify CoUeffe UIl Ui 
cause sIihII be determined by bus lordsnip.** 

Is he identical with Roger Middhop, who 

held a lease of Folkestone Parsonage (in 

reversion after Thomas Allen) for twenty-one 

years, renewed to Dr. Cosin, Dean of ArcheSp 

159.1 ? 

The * D.N.B.' states that the father of 
Dr. Cosin was killed at Musselburgh in 1A47 ; 
his widow married Roger Medhope. 

Tlie dates rather f>oint to Medop being 
half-brother to Cosin. 

A Silvester Cosin was presented at 
Folkestone for working on a saint's day. 

I shall be glad of any further information 
about Medop, pailicularly in coimexion with 
P'olkestone. *R. J. Fynmosb.

I BELntvE 1 can fiinusli a more recent 
inatanue of exorcixni tlian that quoted by 
Mrs. Cope. I had it at first hand from a 
young woman who attended me as a troiasd 
Naulioim nurse, but bb I cannot communioaM 
with tier and nak her leave to give namMi 
I may not state where the exorcism took 
place. The teller of the tale is a hij^ily 
respectable person, and was bom in the 
very pretty village, well known to iitarU 
borough boys, where her people etUl livia. 
U«r father is a tenant on a large eatat6 
whore tlie fine old manor house 1ms iwa 
said tn be haimtcd for generations. F^oin 
a certain window, opening on a terrace, ft 
lady was seen to leave the house aiid 
follow a shrubbery path to the lake in tho 

Sounds, where she ^ onished. Possibly tlte 
mily who owned the house were in- 
different to the story, but when they let It* , 
their tenants found tho nuisance so In-' 
tolerable — oa servants were too frishteaMl I 
to stay— that they got the owner's leave W 
organise a service of exorcism. My In- 
forroont gave a very vivid account of it, 
although she waa nut an eyewitnesu. But 
her father was aaked to attend, 89 were tJie 
other chief tenants and heads of families ; 
and the rninislera of all the dlfEerent de- 
noniinatious for miloB round were tJao 
invitod. 

TIte service took place at night. Hie 
tenanin were gather^ jn the courtyud* 
and when tlie procession of cler^~ arpeond 
from the manor house the^~ fell in. And 
fallowed tho churchmen, feeling cfeoLly 
solemniied. Tlie route was fhroggn Uio 
long French window, down the path, and to 
the lake. Tlie proceseional sinfring ceased 
at tho lake-side, and prayers were said 
there. 

not sure, but T am inclined to think 
that the tenants daughter believed tliat

that no real improvement had been effected 
by the gathering of good men. 

Were it a tale of Ireland, not of Southern 
England, the explanation would bo simple 
indeed : till some one ftpeaks, and boldly 
asks, ** In the Name of God, what do you 
want ? " the poor spirit cannot rest. 

I know of an earlier exorcism which took 
place successfully in Cornwall about 1880, 
and freed the disturbed tenemts of an old 
house there from the crying of a little girl 
wlio wandered about the attics cold and 
heajrt-broken. 

Cto any one explain the very general 
belief that our English Church has a fonn 
of prayer for exorcism ? In the case of the 
Cornish haimting I was told that '' the 
clergyman read tho prescribed form." 

In Norfolk, too — land of " Jolui Schome, 
pentleman bom/* who was such an export 
in laying wandering spirits — the same belief 
is held. People say, " O, of course it is not 
in the ordinary Prayer Book, but all clergy- 
men know it, and can use it if called upon.

then, and nlono....I betook me towards the 
field.. ..First, I paced and measured out my 
circle on the graas. Then did I mark my peutacle 
in the very midst, and at the inteniection of the 
five angles I did sot up and fix my crutch of raun 
(rowan). Lastly, I took my station south, at tho 
true line of the meridian, and stood facing due 
north. I waited and watched for a long time. 
At last there wtxH a kind of tix>uble in the air, a 
soft and rippling sound, and all at once the shape 
appeared, and came on towards me gitidually. 

Then follows a singular colloquy, confession 
of ancient sin and wrong, prediction of

words of the man sdic hud come up to denounce* 
and the satisfaction he would perform. Then said 
she, * Peace in our midst.* I went through the 
proper forms of dismissal, and.... I did dismiss 
that trotibU d ghost, until she peacefully withdrew. 
gliding towanls the west. Neither did she ever 
afterward appear, but was allayed until she shall 
come in her second flesh to the valley of Arma- 
geddon on the last day." 

Mr, Hawker adds : — 



"It is a ^ing\ilur fact that the canon which 
authorizes exorcism under episcopal licence is 
still a part of the ecclesiastical law of the Anglican 
Church, althoufich it might have a sing^ular efle<^ 
on the nerves of certain of our biahopa if their 
clergy were to r<*sort to them for the facnlty 
which Parson Rudall obtained.'* 

S. T. H. 



One of the biographers of the Rev. R. S. 
Hawker, Vicar of Morwenstow, relates an 
occasion on whicli that poet -priest essayed 
the laying of a nineteenth-century ghost ; 
and in Hawker's Prose Works (Blackwood, 
1893) is a circumstantial story (based on 
" the ' diiinial ' of a simple-hearted clergy- 
man of the seventeenth century") of the 
laying of tho Botathen (Jhost. Tlie story 
is too long for quotation ; but if any of your 
readers should be sent })ac^k once more by 
this allusion to the original, they will not 
reCTCt it. 

Briefly to summarize the story (first pub- 
lished in All the Year RmnuU 1807), one 
Parson Rudall of Launceston, having sought 
and obtained episcopal sanction imder sig- 
natiu^e and shjillum, thus records his en- 
counters witli the ghostly visitant, ** a

In 1879 a service for the exorcism of a

Principal of iSt. Kcnelm's School, Horqittlh. 
A fidl clioir, with cross and candle-bwexs

The CHiMNm' Sweeper s Ciimbino Bots 
(12 8. iii. 317, 462 : iv. 28).— When I ww 
a boy in the West of Ireland, the annual 
visits of the sweep and liia climbing bQf 
were great events, not unmixed with teriM. 
This must have been about 1S77 or a year " 
or so later; for I was bom in 1874. In'tm- 
old homo the chinmeya wound about throu^ 
the thick walls of the house, and they were 
BO large that even the sweep himself, who 
WHS a man of average si/.e. roiild ascetul i 
while his miserable -looking, thin, "tuatad 
little boy could stand ujin^it in the hori- 
zontal shafts. 

I well remember the climbing drew of (ho 
boys. It was a sort of short smock, reach- 
ing nearly to the knees. On thnir li^ada 
they wore a kind of hclm«^— soniFthing 
like whal is known as a Balaclava hchuol— 
which made ibom look very mrange i 
awe-liuipiring. This curious headHlr«a» i

lUid nttacheU to it was » light lui«, by 
Iboaua of wbidi the sweep could alwftj-s 
DonuQunioat^ with the boy. Probably this 
Hfe-Un? wfte introduced aft-er catastroplies 
'^f VATiouB kiuda had called attention to the 
Jaka run by the boys. 

i_ On their kneeB the boys wore guards of 
Uddisd leather or other inat«^al. to protect 
Dieir fleah from tlie ruughneswa of the 
Biiruney aideg. TlieLr feet were either bare, 
r covered by pliable shoe§ which bad veiy 
bin Bolea. Their tools were a scrapor aiid 
t- hruah, and they curried bags or small 
JkolcBi into wliicb they put the aoot. 
Suit wan said that the eweeps need to 
lifted " their climbing boya on gin, in order 
V prevent thmn from growing. The boya 
WO always orphans — almost alaven, it 
rguld »ecni ; but the stories about their 
Wter told me by my nnrai' were, moat 
Bjphitttoally, "stories with a purpose" — 
) " purpose " being to ensure my docility ; 
i Vw<g were most effectual au a means 
t Bilencing protest and checking rebellion.

The probable exact date ia obtained thua- 
Henry I. gave William Corheuill the Arch- 
biahopric of Canterbury in February, 1123. 
Geoffrey Bufua, another witnoRS, succeeded 
as Chancellor about the same time. The 
King woa then in England, but he left for 
Normandy in June that same year. He 
returned to England in September, 1126, 
and from that dat« till August, 1 127, he 
remained at home. He next returned from 
Norroandy in July, 112fl (' D.N.B.'). soma 
six months or more after the death of 
William Giffard, Bishop of Wincheet«r. ft 
third witnese, who, according to Dr. Stabbs, 
died on Jan. 26, or, aa the ' Annals of 
Margan' has it, he died in 1128 (Bolla 
Series, p. 12). "This charter, therefore, must 
have passed either in the «bort interval 
between February and June, 1123, or in the 
inten-al between September, 1 120, and 
August, 1127. But it was c'ven at Win- 
cheater, and the number of bishops in the 
witness -clause, namely six. euggi^ts a time 
when there waa a large osacmblv of magnates 
there. Dr. Round ahowa that such an 
assembly mot the King and Quwin ftt 
Wincht.Bter at Eaater. U:i3 (Apr. I.l). when 
the important charter to tlio ehurch of 
Exeter waa grante<l ; and as six of the 
nainee in the Exeter charter are identionl 
with six in this charttr. that ocotuUoiL 
probably marks the dat<.<. The name of J 




The 



William, BiHhop of Eseter, is naturally 
cKoliidpd from the t«et-claii60 of the Exeter 
charter, seeing that tlie ^ant woa one to 
his own cliurch : but its presence here 
(jiovPB that he also was one of the prelates 
in att«Ddance (see ' Feudal England,' 
pp. 482-7). 

This charter concerns an event which 
occurred at the abortive eiege of Falaise in 
1105. Roger de Gloucester, alvia Roger 
son of Dtirand, the Sherifi of Gloucester in 
10S6, and himself probably also Slieriff, 
was mortally wounded (araviUr vtdneralwi, 
• GloB. Cart.,' i. 69) in the head by a bolt 
from a croas.bow on that occasion, and 
then and there gave " Chulna" to God and 
the monks of Uloucest-er, the King himself 
conceding the same. Some time after the 
manor was claimed by Gilbert de Minors, 
and the dispute waa 6nally settled 
1123, as shown by this notification. ' 
terms used by the King — in Curiam 
iKtierunl coram me — are notewortiiy. In- 
teresting is the point of history revealed in 
the plwIingB, namely, the testimony of 
Adam de Fort and William fitz-Odo proving 
that they were actually present before 
Falaise when the grant woe made, and 
when the King (who had perhaps forgotten 
the particulars) hod, at the request of his 
valiant soldier Boger de Gloiiceet«r, also 
conceded to the monka the land in question. 
8tiU more interesting is the reference (if 
I am right in so reading the passage) to 
the refusal of Gilbert de Minors to plead 
— judictum recusaift — that is, possibly, by 
ordeal of battle. The resort to the judg- 
ment of God in legal disputes over land 
survived even long after the ordeals of Are 
Rnd water for criminal offences had passed 
away (abolished by J^aleran Council of 
1216}. Thus m 21 Edw. I. [1293) Robert 
de Haugbton claimed the advowson of High 
Oflley, CO. StaSord, against the Bishop of 
Coventry and Lichfield. The Bishop 
appeared, and offered to defend his right 
bj the body of hia freeman Thomas, son of 
William, who was present ; and Haughton 
ofiered to deraign his right by the body of 
bis freeman Robert, son of William, who 
WH« also present. Two sureties or seconds 
were chosen on each side, and the rival 
champions were ordered to attend in 
arms before the Justices at Weatminster 
OD the Tuesday next after a month 
from Ea6t«r, for the duello (Assize Roll, 
21 Edw. I., m. 21). 

The few words of the King's precept 
bring the scene in c-ourt vividly belore us. 
■Put It will bff observed that there is no 




production of a written deed of gift, i 
royal charter in confirmation of that i 
to God and the monks of Gloucester, 
among the numerous deeds in the ' GlouCMt^r 
Cartulary ' is there to be found any such 
deed of gift or any such coofiraiBtiaiti. 
There is only the quot«d copy (without the 
t«st-clause) of a charter of Henry I. ad- 
dressed to Bishop Sampeon of \\'on.'caIer 
(1006-1112) and to Walter, Casiellnn of 
Gloucester, and Sheriff of the coimty, in 
which the King signifles to them, as parties 
officially concerned, that he hod conceded 
Roger de Glouce8t«r'B gift of " Culna " to 
the monks for their common sustenance in 
exchange for their garden in which stood 
bis castle — eacambiutn de horla monaehortan 
in quo haria mea aedet (' Cart. Glos.,' i. 235, 
Rolls Series). This charter must have 
passed at the same time as that on p. < of 
Round's * Ancient Charteru,' that is to say 
after the year 1105, and before the deMu 
of Bishop Sanmson on May Q, 1 1 12, or 
rather, as Dr. Bound more narrowly fixea 
his date, between June, 1109, and 1111. 
There seems, then, to have been something 
irregular as to the original grant made 
during a campaign tlist was not over- 
successful. Perhaps there was no writing 
to show. 

" Chulna " is Coin Rogers, near (Ciren- 
cester. It waa an escheat of Odo, Bishop 
of Bayeux. and in the hands of the King in 
1086. Gilbert de Minors' claim eiiggnsts 
that RoEor de Gloucester left daughter or 
sister as neir. 

Of the persons mentioned in this charter, 

Gilbert de Minors, the claimant, is (inl«n>d 

the Pipe Roll of 31 Hen. I. as ansWRtio^ 

for the pleas of Milo de GlouctMt«r ; and t» \ 

■ ■ "1 he was one of the knigJits of o" " " ~ 

t holdingwith Hugh de Ctindiool b 

fee under Margaret de Boun, Milo's ' 
{• L.R.,' HaU). 

The Abbot of St. Pet«r'a in 1 123 WM 
William Godcmon. 1)13.30. At the tins 
of the grant (1105) there was, tlie GlouDoet«r 
• Hist, et Curt.' (vol. i. p. ««) statns. a 
vacancy, Scrlo having died ; but accoixtiiig 
to tlie Frocpster MS. (Glos,) the Abbot 
then was Pet«r, formerly Prior (Ilfl4.13). 

Adam de Port must have been lord of the 
Honor of Kington with caput in Hereford- 
shire, and was probably of thu King's 
Household {* L.B.,^ 602, Hall). Tlie Fouis 
held 3 milites in this Honor (ifcW.. iiTU). 

William fllz-Odo witnessed Heruy I.'a 
charter to the church of Exeter (^atM-, 
1123). Dr. Bound itlfialifiwil'

NOTES A1 



( Odo Qtz-Oomelia, a Domesday tenaat-La- 
' i«f with ample Janda in Dbvod, and as the 
ViUiam fitz-Odo of the Pipe RoU of 31 Ucii. I. 
^130) (■ Feudal Eagland,' pp. 483, 487). 
are is aa added value in his witaeaaiiig 
a charter because it helps to oorroborate 
Dr. Round's identiticatioD, inasmuch 
lus father was a benefactor to St. Petei 
of Gloiiceeter : — " Odo filius Gamolini 
dedit Pluntreo in Deveneehere " (' Glos. 
CKt..' i. 123). This was in the tune of 
tbe Norman Abbot Serb, who died in 
1104 {ibid.). William litz-Odo wa« also 
of tbe Household of tha King (' L. R..' 
p. 812, Hall). 

Among the bishops the style of Urban 
deeerves notice. He waa Bishop of LlandaS 
itwa 1 107 to 1 1 33. We leam that he found 
all the episcopal property at LlandaS 
ruinous and spoilt. Added to this, in 1123 
he was busy building his new cathedral, 
and it is not unlikely that for the 
being his cathedra waa at Glamorgan, jais 
deaignation, apart from this charter, seems 
to have been invariably Biahop of Llandaff. 
IToreaco of Worcester, however, in record- 
; hia consecration, refers to him thus: 
Vrbanus {icUicet Llandavensie), 
tnorgaritnaia epMcop[uaJ ab Av^mo 
' ' ri»cc^ con8ecr[atur] (" Annalee Monas- 
loIlB Series, jv. Ifi). It should be 
-not«d also that the episcopate of Llandaff 
\raB exactly co-extensive with the ancient 
pre-conquestual Kingdom of Morgan 
(' Coimctla and Eccleiiiastical Documents,' 
^■biidan and Stubbs, i. 284; so abo in 
^^^Llber Llandavensis '). 

^■O^oflrey Riifus, the Chancellor (1123.35), 

^^Bnd Hilo de Gloucester, the great legitimist 

in the wars of Stephen (to become Sheriff 

of OloTicester and Earl of Hereford), have 

Already been mentioned. 

Walter de Amfraville or Umfraville, with 
certain othere of the Honor of Brecknock, 
wi(ne«8ed a deed of William de Gloucester, 
who c. 1123 givce Little Hereford in fee to 
Ilia nephew William de Mare (Round's 

fluent Charters,' Pipe Rolls Series, p. 19). 
>ert de Huinframville was holding 
milit«s of William, Earl of Olouceeter, in 
) C L.R .' 288. Hall). A branch of this 
werfu) family, settled in Northumberland, 

' 1 later years Earls of Angus. 

Tn cnnclusion, I would add that I am 

indcbKd to the Rev. C. S. Taylor, well

" D — D LITTEBY FEiiERS." — A prominent 
newspaper of New York has more than 
once quoted this phrase, and atl.rib)tt«d its 
origin to Zack Chandler, formerly U.S. 
Senator from Michigan. 

James Russell Lowell wTote bom Modlidi 
to an intimate friend in Boston about I ' 
miniitterisl anxieties keeping him atn 
night after night : "" It was not myself I » 
thinking of—but the guild. 1 didn't < 
another of those ' d— d littery follers ' 
come to grief." This confession, da ' ' 
presumably from IB77, indicated that b 
man of letters had already been a t« _, 
for hostile criticism, and that the pictureeqiNf' 
locution was then a familiar quotation. 
The writer of the present communication 
was unable to get any Lnfonnatjon about 
its origin from the literaiy editors of New 
York and Boston, although he had believed 
for more than forty years that Simon 
Cameron of Pennsylvania tirel used th» 
now famous expression. 

Reference to newspaper Bles of March. 
1876, made the matter clear. Rii^hard 
Henry Dana, author of ' Two Years before 
the Mast,' woa rejected as Minister to 
England on account of the hostility of 
Senator Cameron. On p. 316 of vol. ii. of 
the biography of Richard Henry Dana by 
Charlea Francis Adams there i» a cle^ 
statement about the affair : —

ttie Btruggle over Dona which took a flrmliol'

This also hails from Brailes. 

Sheepshearing commenced on June 1, 
and on that day and onwards all the men 
and boys employed were fed from the farm 
idtohen. Every man connected with the 
farm took part in the shearing. Even the 
shoemaker and blacksmith made amateitr 
eSorta to shear a sheep — so much the woisa 
for the animal. At uie end of the day a 
feast v/aa held of beef, stuffed chine, and 
beer. At Whitchurcli stuffed chine is still 
used on the occasion, but only at Crimscot 
Farm. At Ilmington a " posy " was laid 
oa the plates set out for the men. At Long 
Maraton, just across the Gloucestershire 
border, the Sheepehearing Feast and tlm 
SojkI Feast were held together. Beef, plum

P. 8. FouRNTEB, Pabisian Type- 
— In Bomo investigation.^ I have beea 
makmg rotative to Pierre Simon Foiimier 
(conunonly atyJed le jeune) (1712-68), the 
Parisian type-founder to whom the inven- 
tion of the " point system " is gouorally 
■ttributad, I am unnble to solve cert^n quea- 
tjons. These arise from the following facts. 

Piarre Simon Foumier was the son n 
Jean Claude Foumier, manager of a well 
known Faria foundry. This Jean Claude 
bad nine children, of whom six were boys. 
Three lived to maturity, and of theee Pierre 
Simon vma the youngest. The eldest 
brother was a type-founder, and became 
ia 1730 proprietor of the Le B^ foundiy. 
of which hie father had for some years been 
director. Ho would therefore appear to be 
properly styled I'ainc. The second eon, a 
printer at Auxerre, does not seem to come 
into lh« problem. The third son was 
named Pierre Simon Foumier, and it waa 
for hia elder brother that Pierre Simon, 
commonly called k jeune, firat began to cut 
type. Accordinff to l^ttin, the eldest 
brother's name waa Jean, Pierre Foumier, 
and Ijottin says that he knew of no " apeci- 
men " of his types ever ha\-ing been ieimed. 
But in 1742 there was inaued an oblonK folio 
"specimen" entitled " Modoies des Carao- 
t»rw de rimprimerie, Gt dee autres choeee 
n<Vieeeairee audit Art. Nouvellement 

Gr»V*3 par Simon Pierre Foumier le jeune, 
Gfmveur & Fondeur de Caracteree. A Paris, 
Sue des eept voyos, vis-a-vis le College de 
""'"s, 1742." And in the same year a 
Bpecunen waa published with the 

lowing title : " Caraoterea de I'lmw-imerie, 

■ovellement Grav^, Par S. P Foumier 
R joune, Graveur & Fondeur de Caractcree. 
.1 Paris, Riie doa sept voyes wa-a-vie le 
College de Reims, 1742." In the preface 
to the tirst specimen the compiler alludes 
to hiij experiments in formulating type- 
meMuromeat, and explains his system of 
" proportions." Now, the perfected scheme 
ol the " point aystam " has always been 
■scribed to Pierre Simon Foumier le jeunr. 
He tTe.atd of it at length in his ' Manuel 
lypo^aphique.' issued in 17(14, and there 
cub It his own invention, adding that he 
fint publiehed his plan in 1737, 
yoan earlier than the description appearing 
^m thu * Uedelos ' in 1742. A Tetarenix to 



thix 1737 issue appears in Bigmore and 
Wymao's ' Bibliography of Printing.' It 
entitled " Table dee Proportione dea 
Caract^res d'Irapriuierie, Paris, 1737," 4to ; 
but I have never seen it. Although Lottin 
places the two speoimens just alluded to 
under Pierre Simon Foumier's publications, 
he tskee pains to give their author's initials 
as S. P., showing that he felt the difficulty 
that puzzles me. In a note in the edition 
of J. B. Rousseau's ' (Euvres,' Bruxelles 
(Paris), 1743. printed by one of the Didote, 
the types are stated to be those of Simon 
Pierre Foumier le jeune. 

It has been auegested that. Simon Pierre 
and Pierre Simon Foumier may be one and 
the same person, who at one time may have 
transposed his Christian names. But this 
seems unlikely— even more so than that a 
man would name liis two sons Simon Pierre 
and Pierre Simon. In the " spenimen " of 
Ph Denis Pierres, published at Paris in 
1785, ty^jes are shown from the foundry 
of Foumier I'aine and Foumier fe jeune. 
And Mr Luther Livingston in ' Franklin 
and lii.s Press at Passy ' says ; " Amons the 
Franklin papers are letters signed by T. T. 
Foumier /lis, T Foumier le jeune, Foumier 
U jeune, Foumier ratne." This, however, 
proves nothing, for Foumier le jeune (Pierre 
Simon), who by 1768 was dead, left two 
sons, one of whom was a founder, and 
Foumier taini bad descendants, and tha 
allusions may be to them. 

My question is, who was this Simon 
Pierre Foumier le jeune. and what wao 
Lot tin's authority for calling the elder 
brother Jean Pierre T Or was Lottin wrong, 
and were there two Foumiers, both founders 
of typo, both investigating and improving 
the formulation of type-measuren^ent, both 
sometimes styling themselvee fc jeune, and 
both issuing specimens' — the older Simon 
Pierre Foumier, the younger Pierre Simon I 
No one boa ever yet alluded to the elder 
Foumier as having any part in the formula- 
Uon of the " point system." 

I proposed this problem to M. Georeaa 
I^preux, the learned author of ' Gulift 
Typographica,' but his lamentable death 
by accident ot Paris occurred shortly after 
my letter should have reached him. As your 
correspondents assisted me about Ibarrft 
and Julian Hibbert (eee 12 S. i. 327, 410). 
I am hoping for like aid in this instance. 

In this connexion can any one tell me 
if a portrait of Joaquin Ibarra of Madrid 
bos ever been engravcnl, and, if so, by whom, 
whore, and wheu 1 ■^. "ft. "Ki^:a^»a_

I have Homotimes seen in Holland a glass 
vessel which I supposod to be a barometer. 
I asked Mr, van Santen, the manager of the 
Oude Doelen Hotel ot the Hague, where 
I could get one. and he at once gave me one, 
aa a parting gift. It is a glass vessel in the 
shape of half a pear, about nine inches 
long, and nearly four across. The flat side 
is intended to rest against a wall while the 
thing is suspended by a ring at the top. 
From the front rises a sort of upright spout 
or tubs graduated by lines and figures 
from I at the bottom to 13 near the ton. 
It can bo charged with water by carefully 
pouring througli the spout. Mine is about 
half full of water, which is continually 
rising and falling in the graduated tube. 
It fonns a very sensitive thermometer, tho

beside it, though not at a uniform rate, aa

NOTES AND QUERIES. 



So far as Genua ia concerned, alie appears 
to have adopted St. Georgo as her patron 
before 1379, when the cry of the Genoese 
admiral Pietro Doria wan, " A Veneaia, a 
Venezia, e viva San Giorgio." The Compera 
di Sou Giorgio came into existence in 1407 : 
in 1451 this bank boeame poseeseed of the 
old Palaiio del Capitano. and in 1465 
Corsica was given into tho keeping of this 
bank. The city of Genoa woidd appear to 
have taken her arms and flag from the 
Compera di San Giorgio.

PICKWICK, ORIGIN OF THE NA 
PICKWICK FAMILY OF BATH. 



(12 f 



, 12, 51. m.) 



I SEK no reason for doubting tlio statement 
which appears in the fifth chapter of John 
Foreter's ' Life of Charlea Dickons,' J>t>h ed., 
1872, vol. i. p. 88, note; "The name of his 
hero [Pickwick], I may add, Dickens to<^ 
from that of a celebrated coacb-proprit 
of Bath." This " celebrated oaaoh'~ 
prietor " was Moses Pickwick, 
wick,' chap. X3Cxiv. p. 374, original edll 
It is, perhaps, interesting to noC« that ons 
of Alfred Crowquin's extra plates (c. 1837) 
ireaent^ ' Mrs. Dowler in the Batb Coach.* 
Ihe is looking out of the window. On the 
door is " Moses Pickwick — Bath," 

In the Pickwick Exhibition at the New 
Dudley Gallery, 169 PiccadUly, 22 Jtily— 
28 Aug., 1907, was shown a " Threefold 
Screen, formerly belonging to Moses Pick- 
wick of Bath. On the Screen ere paiated 
the Rules and Itegulations relating to 
Passengers, Fares, Luggage, *C., drc. Leet 
by Mr. Austiu King." In T'Ae Dictenuian 
of September, 1907 (vol. iii. p. 235). la a 
small but legible reproduction of the ecrmn. 
At the top is "' From the White Hart, Bath " 
— " Coaching Notices formerly in the ofBc*." 
At the foot of the third fold \a " Uoms 
Pickwick & C", September l", 1830." 

A legend about this Moses Pickwick waa 
given in ■ N. & Q.' of April 2, 1887 (7 8. 
iii. 273). After referring to the name of 
Pickwick having been taken by Ui^kotu 
from " Mosee Pickwick" which nppMursd 
" OD many of the stage-coaches thai i ^td 
between Bristol and Londoir — — »— ^^^ 
seventy years ago," the writer a 

" This conch proprietor was a foundlii 
one Dight in a bosket in Pickwick 8tti 
brought up in Corshnm worliliouso tfU b< 
enough to be employed in fhe stables y .

bead ostler, and Irom that to boise o 
eventually to be it coach

The article is signed P 
quoted, no references are given. 
planation appears of tiio assertion 
child was foimd in Pickwick 




town or village not given), and named from 
the unnamed village where he was left as 
aa infant. 

Kotwithatanding thia confiDiion and the 
absence of authority, the lat« Mr. F. G. 
Kitton, who was a proliflo writer on Charles 
Dickens, adopted P.'a story in the article 
quoted by W. B. H. [anu, p. 61), and 
nproduced it practically verbatim in Temple 
" " tJiirteen months later, confusion in- 
, without saying that his authority 

I meroly the ipse dixit of an anonymous 

^wpondent of ' N. & Q.' 

Keitber F. nor Mr. Kitton appears to 
a made any inquiries about the Pickwick 

oily oE Bath or about the Corshain 

-' bou^e. I have ascertained from the 
r that there is no workliouse there. 

froDowing a certain case tried March 2, 

"8 (see 7 S. v. 285), in which Mr. Henry F. 
ks for the defendant had to call aa a 
B » Mr. John Pickwick, " a Birming- 
torroepondeat in the newspapers " 
KM quoted (7 8. v. 455) as alleging that 
I'lnkwink, the Bath coach proprietor of 
liickeos's day, 

' *a« piokcil np by a lady, as a. child abaDdoned 
bv Its mother, \a a suburb ot Bath — Batbwick, 
Uita ojuanoDly galled ' Wick." Hence the Ifldf,

food ose ol Lis edncation in after lile. and bccnme 
* moet HQccefleful man, tor HOme time Eupplying 
kU the horeiai for the couchea between Bath and 
Loudon." 

Thia lirae the workhouse vanishes, and 
Bathwick or Wick accounts for Pickwick. 

The Rev. W. R. Hoppeb, tho writer of 
t^e reply, adds : — 

" The Biilh DewspaperB, however, allegtil thnt 
th* iMTticulais of tJiiH 3tor7 were not altog^ethi'r 
OOTMot i tna.t it w>8 the (atber ol ilr. Dickens's 
Piekwick who was picked up in his infancy us a 
dnirtsd baby, but that the circumHtance occurred 
In » rllUge of the Dsme ol Pickwick, near Conium, 
ia Somerselehjre. Hence be received the name 
ot Uinea Pickwick, which he transmitted to his 
too, the auccesHful oooch proprietor of Dickens's 
dsj." 

Tho laio Mr. J. F. Meehan in his ' A Few 
o( the Famous Inns of Bath and District,' 
1913, gives a revised Version of tho leoreud 
(p. 31):- 

" At thnt time [i-t., Mr. Pickwick's visit to 
Batbl* Mr. Moses Pickwick was an occDpant ot 
Uw Whitv Hart at Bath. HI* gnmjlather, 
El««»ar Pickwick, was n foandilng. Towards 
Che Utter end ot the cightovntb century a lady (so 
ran* Ih" l'e«nd) was driving through Wick, near 
Batb. and eaw a bundle under the hedge, and 
k»Uag cl.-tir.T iiito it Bbe diacovered an infant.

educated by her, and, having a, t««te tor coaobing. 
was tnkcQ into the service of the coaching hotel, 
the White Hart, devoted himaclt to the botst -' 
coaching buslnHES, and at the time ot ' Boi'i 
' Mr. Pickwick's ' visit bia grandson. Mob«. .., 
the actual proprietor of the coaches on the rood. 

""Tiy the lad' 

Pickwick,' 
explained. 

Mr. C. G. Harper in his ' Bath Road " 
(quoted ante., p. 62) takes the foundling 
anotlier generation back, i.e., to the great- 
grandfather of Moses. 

The editor of The Dickensian, vol. xii. 
p. 171 (July, 1916), gives "the foundhng " 
as an ancestor of Moses. 

Unless some vemion of the foundling 
legend of earlier date is forthcoming, one 
may suspect that it was started on its 
erratic career by P., contributor to ' N. * Q.' 
ia April. 1887. 

Wliy should it bo necessary to have any 
legend at all about the name of Pickwick in 
the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries T 

There was a William da Pikewike, CO. 
Wilts, in 1273 ; see ' A Dictionaiy of English 
and \^'e]ah Suroamea," by the late Charlea 
Wareing Bardsley, 1901. 

There was a Charlea Pikwik who wae 
married to Maria Potter in 1M7 ; see ibid. 
and ' N. & Q.,' 7 S. iii. 1 12. Also, according 
to a note at 10 S. iii. 447. there was a William 
Pykewyka in a list of juiors of Haytor in 
1281-2. 

Pickwick (Wilta) is not a creation of the 
©ighleenth or nineteenth century ; e.g., it 
appears " with the seat of one gentlemaa " 

J. Adaina's ' Index Vitlaris,' 1680, 

The Pickwick family or families were 
probably established in Bath at least as 
early as the first half of the eighteenth 
century. One Ann Pickwick was married 
Richard Fisher in 1766, and a Moses 
Pickwick was a witness of tlie marriage of 
Eleazar Pickwick and Susanna Combs in 
1776 ; see the Register of St. Michael's, 
Bath, and ' N. i Q.,' 10 8. xi. 7. 

If Ann Pickwick was about 20 years old 
when she was married, she was bom about 
1746. If Eleazar and Moses were about 
20-25 years old when t)ie former was married, 
they were bom about 1750-55. Very possi- 
bly they were brothers, and possibly Ann 
was their sister. This leads to the supposi- 
tion that there was a Pickwick (proMbly 
bora in Bath) about 1720, father of Ann, 
and perhaps of Eleaiar and Moaos. 

The above-named Eleazar may be the 
Eleazar who is raentianted in. Uva l(j&;r*n&.%

If Eleazar viae about 25 years old when bis

bom about 1752, and was, parhaps, the 
Eleaxar who married SiLsannaComba in 1775.

culated 10 October, 1628, aged 19; B.A. 1838, 
died at Becklington Rectory, aomewet, 12 Dei 
ber, 1834." 

If Aaron was about 2S years old when 
hia son Charles waa born, he (Aaron) waa 
born about 1778. He may have been a 
son of Moses who witneesed Eleazar' 
wedding in 1775. He could not be a son a 
Eleazar if The Oenlleman'a Magazine i 
correct in saying that the boy William wa 
on only child. 

At 7 S. ii. 325 Mb. Oboboe Ellis cites a 
notice of the death, on Dec. 8, 1838, at Bath, 
of " Mr, Eleazer Pickwick, the well-known 
West of England coach proprietor." He 
quotes no authority esoepting " the obit- 
uary " of 1838. Possibly this is the Eleazai 
mentioned above aa of the White Hart. 

Probably Eleazar was the " Co." or on* 
of the " Co." of Mosea Pickwick & Co. 
8M the screen. It is, of course, impoaaibli 
to prove absohitely that no Pickwick woe i 
foundling ; hut what I have written takes 
the family back to about 120 years before 
Dickons read " Mosee Pickwick " on the 
coach door. It would be far from unlikely 
that there should be a Pickwick family in 
Bath 200 years ago and much earUer, taking 
its name from the village, distant about 
eight miles. Perhaps the name "Moses" 
(one of Eleazar, Mosee, and Aaron) was the 
sole foundation of P.'s legend and it^ 
retrogreaaivo variants.

Babbkl-Osoans (12 S. iv. 100).— Tb© 
statement that the first barrd-organa were 
imported into England from the Low 
Countries rests on a passage quoted by 
Miss Schlesinger in her article in ' The 
Ency. Brit.' from Jedediah Morse's ' Ameri- 
can Geography' (Boston. Mass., 179fl). 
The lady begins her article by defining a 
harrel-organ as " a small portable" inatm- 
ment " mechanically played by turning a 
handle," and follows this up later with a 
reference to a certain organ-buildw. J«*ai» 
van Stoenken dit Aren, in the fittoeotb 
century, who built an organ that waa not 
portable like the English street-orran, but 
a very substantial instniment, whion, njore- 
over. evidently played of itself without any 
human help. Next wo have the statement 
that accurate aud detailed diagrama of 
every part of the mechanism for a large 
stationary (not portable) barrel-organ worked 
by hydrauUo power (not by hand) were 
published in 1616. We may assume "■"* 
the lady means Solomon do Caus's 
Raisons des Forces MouvanloB,' which 5 
published during that year s 
in Germany, and an English tran 
which (I) by John Leak waa 
London in 1659, though in this tlie a 
front name is Isaac. Then 
reference to a barrel-orean. also wot 
hydraulic power, dascnbed by Dr. 
Fludd. the Bosicrucian, in a book p"

this case was earned by the organ-grinder

8 tunes, and was easily outdistanced by the 
Earl lit Bute's organ with 60 barrels (each 
4 ft. A in- long and 18 in. diameter), built 
Inr SnetKlar, the Bavarian who built the 
cburch organs tor Lynn Regis (Norfolk) in 
17f>4. Halifax in 176fi, and St. Martin's, 
Leicester, in 1774. In 1762, we are told. 
•evoml of the most ingenious artists in the 
metro) Mjii.s were engaged in building the 
•aid organ for the Earl of Bute; but in 
the progrees of building it some difficiiltie« 
ooeufred whi«h baffled all efforts uatil 
" Mr. Cumrning " (probably a retired clock- 
(UAker of that name) came to their rescue. 
As far as I can understand, he eventually 
builtanowinstrumcxit, for which 57(66 T)out 
of the 60 old barrels were utilized, and to 
vrfaich 6 new ones were added with 12 Scotch 
aim on each barrel, and 2 barrels " with 
eotiUions. &c." That would have made 
6S barrels, but in his list Cumming gives 
oDly 04 barrels, 28 of which played solely 
Handel's corapooitiona, while the others 
r«produ«Kl pieces by various Italian 
poAcre and Scotch airs, besides such popular 
tanm as the inevitable ' Rondo ' from The 
Battle of Prague.' In 178^ the new organ 
wiu rBmoved from Luton Park to High 
Uifl. where his lordsliip then resided for the 
I ^■^i^* ol the sea air. The Eari'a nsidenoe , 



with tlie organ was bequeathed to his s 
Lieut. -Ueaeral Sir Charles Stuart, who had 
it removed when the sea undermined the 
chff upon which the liouee stood, and had 
it re-erected in his house in Whitehall, but 
eventually parted with it. Tlie instrument 
was bought for the " late " Earl of Shaft««- 
liury, and removed to St. Giles House 
This is all narrated by Mr. Cumming himself 
in his book published in London in 1812, 

To liniali the chronology, Adam Walker, 
in 1772, in a patent secured for his " Celee- 
tiua," a keyed instrument with one, two, 
or niore strings, claims that his inatrument 
could be made to play by means of " a 
pricked barrel as the hand or barrel organ." 

To sum up, the iiomo " Dutcli organ ' is 
not older than the pamphlet of 1810, earlier 
quotations only meniioniag "' hand or 
barrel organs." Hence all that is known 
seems to point to a German or Italian origin, 
or both, of the hand-played portable barrel- 
organ ; but, of course, I am open to correc- 
tion. One ot tlie most famous German 
makers was Johann Daniel SilberrDann 
(bom at Strassburg in 1718), of the family 
who built, for instance, the fine organ of the 
Royal CTiurch in Dreaden in 1754.

jfrrrEE Notice {12 S. iv. 73). — I have to 
thank several correspondents for their help 
in this matter. There still remains a 
difficulty, however. One of the two ver- 
siims is given in Dr. Kennedy's ' Between 
Whilee,' p. 164, but the note there leaves a 
doubt whether it is Dr. Kennedy's own, or 
by Edward Mamie of Wadham. In the 
' Sabrina; Corolla,' 4th ed., the same render- 
ing is given with the initial K., which 
implies, of course, Kennedy's authorship. 
If this be so (it might be a slip, and Massio 
was a Salopian), the other vereion, which is 
givpn in Judge Denman's ' Intervalla ' (and 
seemingly as his own 1), I would maintain 
to be Massie's. He was an exan 
Durham University in 1842, the date of the 

r" it#d copy to which I previously referred. 
that year Temple Clievailier was hie ' 
examiner, and though Mr. Pears (Chev 
iter's grandson) has always regarded him _._ 
the author (as have others), it might be that 
Maitsie handed it over to Chevallier, who 
glided the Latin notes and saw it tluvugh 
Kin press. If. of course, wo dare assume 
ilie ■ Between Whiles " version to be Masaie's 
"hioh Kennedy's note quite allowa, though

St. Piebbe: Lake, Bkbkb (IS 
There is a curious want of agre 
aocoimtB of the place mlocted by Lord 
Camelford tor his grave. " Somewhere 
about Geneva." writea Lamb in hia essay 
on ' DiHlant Corraspondents,' when describ- 
ing " a conceit of the lat« Lord C." But 
I^tab did Dot always speak by the card. 
Canon Ainger, in a note based on * The 
Annual Register ' for 1604, quotes ea Lord 
Camelford's description : " It is situated on 
the borders of the lake of St. Lampierre, 
in the Canton of Bemo, and three trees 
«tand in the particular spot." The centre 
tree was to be taken up, hia body to be 
^leposited there, and the tree replaced. 
" At the foot of this tree, his lordship atlded, 
be had formerly passed many solitary hours, 
contemplating the mutability of human 
ASoirs." Canon Ainger does not pursue 
the subject further, and offers do suggestion 
as to " the lake of St. Lampierre." 

Lamb uses the words " when, by a positive 
testameutary disposal, his remains were 
fiCtuaOy carried all that way from England ' ' ; 
but, from Sir J. K. Laughton'a life of the 
aecood Lord Camelford in the ' D.N.B.,' 
it appieara that the intention was never 
realised : " The body was embalmed and 
packed in a large basket, but the course of 
the war prevented its being taken abroad, 
and it was left for many years in the crypt 
of St. Anne's Church, Soho." It was 
probably, he says, thrust into some vault, 
and eventually lost sight of. Whether Mr. 
E. V. Lucas in his edition of Lamb gives a 
more precise indication of the chosen site 
I cannot say. An examination of Lord 
Camelford's will, if the directions are given 
there, ought to show by what name he at 
any rate described it.

Clarkaon, and reasserts the rolaUonship, 
without citinR any proof. I ara 
ipted to ask if anything further baa 
recently discovered to establish it 
without doubt. Some years ago I ex-

He died September, 1870, at the Palace of

her 80th year, when the two baronies of 
Keith became extinct. Madame de Fla- 
hault for many years held a very prominent 
place in political and social circles, first in 
London, and afterwards in Paris. Greville

• The Life and Times of Selinft, Countess of 
Huntingdon.' wtw A. C. Hobart Seymour. 
If he will look at the preface again. I think 
bo will agree with me that Hobart Seymour 
■only edited the book. I have vainly searched 
the pedigrees of Lord Huntingdon's and 
Lord Ferreni's families for any one, except 
:jBolina herself, who belonged to both houses.

Lady Frances was a daughter of Theo- 
philuB. seventh Earl of Huntingdon, lior 
younger sister. Lady Margaret, marrying 
BoQJarain Ingham (an inhibited clergyman 
whose religious enthusiasm just escaped 
.A madhouse) in 174L ' The Stoiy of 
Ashby-de-la-Zoucb,' by W. Scott, published 
by George Brown, Ashby, in 1907, states : — 

" l^dy Frances has left a joumul of a. tour made 
in compuDf with her sister Anne nod the Couiit<«fi 
•(Belina, of Huntingdon] through Wales, when, in

possessed other information, I cannot t«ll. 
An earUer ' History and Description of 
Ashby,' published locally in 1852, mentions 
" the manuscript History of the Hastings 
Family, in the Library at Donington Halt," 
«s having been freely used, but has nothing 
rdevant to the query. As is now weU 
known, Donington Half has ceased to belong 
to the family estates. T have seen nothing

Personal and place names when expressed

Conserve of Roses {12 8. iv. 104). — 
This is an old preparation, now used aa a- 
veliicle for more active medicines. It 
^pears in the British Pharmacopccia as 
conjectio rosce Gallkm, made by beating 
together in a stone mortar 250 gi-ammes of 
freah rod rose petals and 7r)0 grammes of 
refined sugar. Its principal use now is for 
making " blue pill," thus : quicksilver, 
40 gr. ; conserve of roses, 60 gr. : powdered 
liquorice, 20 gr. Tritujate the mercury 
and conserve till globules are no longer 
visible 1 then add the liquorice, and form a 

Tlie old pharmacists attributed virtues 
of its own to this conserve, but I have not 
access to their works at present. Probably 
C. C. B. can tell ub more. There is or was 
a kind of Jam made of the hips of the dog 
rose called con/ectio roea caninoe or cynoAater, 
J. T. F. 

WintertoD, LmcB. 

Conserve of roses was until quite recently 
an ofticiol medicinal preparation, as was 
also conserve of hips (the old Latin name 
of which was cmtserva frvctua (VTKwbuli). 
Tliey were different preparations, but were 
made in the same way, by pounding, in the 
one case red rose petals, in the other the 
pulp of rips hips, in a mortar willi reSned 
sugar. The conserve of roses contained ona 
part of petals to three parts of sugar, that of

hips consisted of 1 lb. of pulp to 20 oz. of 
sugar. There were, however, many un- 
oiSoial formula for oonserva of rosea. Two

Natdbauzation by Act or Parliament 

tl2 S. iv. 130).— The natursUzatioD of aliens 
y specific Act« of Farliament is now 
practically obsolete, it being far eimpler 
for aliens to obtain certificates of naturaliza- 
tion from the Home Secretaiy, or from some 
duly authorized official in the Dominiuns 
muler the general Naturalizatioa Aot of 
1914. E. C. W, can only get aoceaa to the 
coseu of naturahEBtioQ conferred iu the 
former way by reference to the Returns 
made to Farliamenl or to the Statutes 
at large. There is no CoropleW list that 
I am aware of. From 1801 down to 
the preeent time 444 aliens have been 
naturalizod by special Acts, the laet case 
being that of Lord Acton in 1911.

" Bou) Intidkuty ! rnait rAue akd 
ms" (12 S. iv. 102).— The ascription to 
Robert Robinson of th^ authorship of thwe 
lines is supported by the Baptist minister 
John Andrews Jones in his Bunhil! Me- 
morials ■ (London, 1849) at p. 360, where 
he records them as inscribed on the tomb 
in Bunhill Fields of Weetfield Lilley, son 
of Weetfield and Sarah Liiloy, who died 
June 2. 1798, aged one year and ten months. 
John B. Wainkwbight. 

Tliis epitaph of nine linos is undoubtedly 
by Robert Robinson, Baptist minister at 
Cambridge tuitil his death in 1790. The 
lines were wrilton expressly for (and may be 
eean on a gravestone in the churchyard of 
Hauxton. CambH) the four infant children 
of Richard and Hannah Foster of Hauxton, 
attendants on Robinson's ministry at Cam.

BOYB BORK IN May {12 S. iv. 133). — 
Perhaps I may record my own experieoce. 
I was bom in May. and as I look book into 
the days of my boyhood I am often horrigud 
lo recall many acta of cruelty perpetrated 
by me, and at my instigation, on birds and 
animals. I seem to have delighted in these 
acts of cruelty imttl I was about 12 yean 
old, when they ceased. Since tliat petiod 
I have gradually developed B super -aenai ' ' 
attitude respecting cruelties inflicted, t 
unintentionally, upon the brute croot 
I cannot now kill a bird or an aiiiniiLl with- 
out experiencing most poignant feeling of 
abhorrence of the act. I am unable to 
account for the change. John T. Paok.

*' F1.AT Candle" (12 S. iv. 106).— The 
Vew English Dictionary' under "Flat," 
', says that a fiat-candle is a candle used 
. a flat-caiidleMtick, one with a broad stand 
'-L'i a short ntem, and quotes from Dickens 

Haunted HouBe,' v. 22) " a bedroom 
'riiUeslick and i^andle, or a flat candlestick 
•■ li candle — put it which way you like." 
C. A. Cook. 

Ab I remember it SJJtty yeara ago, this 

- VI s short form of the correct but cum- 
' in phrase " a flat candlestick with a 

ndle in il." At that time neither gas nor 
wwi used in our house, but only candles ; 
■■ 1 it was necessary to distinguish between 
■ tati candlestick witli a " mould " 
I'irlln fur liie parlour, and the flat candle- 
~ I'k with a common candle for the bed- 
in* DiEoo. 

iTie torm " flat candle" was in common 
»« in the middle of the nineteenth century 
.VL- '■ 



base for bedroom uee ;'Bn extinguisher wa» 
appended to the handle or the stem, and 
often a pair of snullere put through an

going to their bed rooms.

I have always understood a " tlat-condle " 
to be short ton the model of "flat-boat" 
for " flat-bottomed boat ") for " candle ia 
a flat-bottomed candlestick." It occura, 
apparently with this significance, in Bon 
Gaultier's ' Lay of the Brieflees' : — 

I roused n mnn in a dimit)* ehruud, 
Wit^ u night-CBp and Hut candle. 

C. C. B. 

As in my early years " dip " or tallow 
candles were in general use, I am able to 
say that I remtmber the "flat caudles" 
referred to. They were literally flat, oa 
being composed of two wicks, on which the 
repetition of the process of dipping, by 
which these candles were made, had cBuC't.d 
the tallow coveHng to meet between the 
wicks, and so form one candle. They were 
principally used by cobblers, I belie^-e. 
These workers wanted better light than that 
produced by the ordinary make of dips. 



W 



, B. H. 



I hftve made and sold many thousands 
of flat candles. In making dip cAndlee 
threads of cotton are dipped many times in 
hot tallow. When the candle was about 
half on inch thick, two were placed together. 

Lcking being uncongealed, and the two 
candles wore then dipped a couple of times 
to make " Cats." They were used by 

bblers to heat their tools imtil the intro- 
duction of the cheaper benzoline lamps. 
R. C. Nkwick, 

Olobe Road. St. Oeerge, Btistnl. 

The " flat candle " mentioned by Dickens 
'as made for use in stable work as well as 
for coach lamps, and had two wicks 1 6 
not made m a mould, but by the usual 
method of dipping in a vat of hot melted 
fat. The candle wicks were strung on rod* 
about four feet long, and wtien the sixteens 
ne to the final dip. two candles were 
, ihed dose to each other, and the last dip 
attached them together, making them into 
one. producing candles the size of eights. 
In the junction each candle had two wicks, 
and gave out a better liglit. It is more than 
forty years since I last saw a flat oandla.

The HocketB inside lamps and lantemB were 
xaade to hold such candlea. A few wero 
made up to forty years ago at a Bmall candle 
factory in this town. Thos. Ratcuffe,

WALTER OBOUOH, P.Z.S. 
IBS older readers of ' N. & Q.' will regret to learn 
of the death of Mr. Walter Crouch, F.Z.S., late 
of Grafton House, WeUesley Bond, Wanstead, 
which took place on April IB. Bom in 1H40 at 
Stepney, he was the third child, and only son to 
survive youth, of Walter Crouch of Bow, and 
afterwards of Cheshunt, and came of a long line 
ol Crouches who settled in HsEtingB in the tatt«r 
half of the seventeenth century, having previous 
to that resided at Rye. 

Ho was a reader and occasional contributor for 
over mty yeare. and for about half of this time he 
belonged to a circle of literary men who passed 
their copleaot ' N. & Q.' from one to another. He 
will best be remembered selthe author ol useful 
papers on the Mollusca and other branches of the 
(oology of Basel. He iroa also on ardent 
Shnkespearian and Dickensisn, nnd was for nukny 

Ears a member of the Ebsei Archo'ological 
eiety, the Essex Field Club, and similar socieUce, 
to whose proceedings he was a trequent contri- 

Ur. Crouch had a profound knowledge ol Ebbci 
topography and heraldry, and was well veised in 




genealogical studies and the tmring o[ pedigreM. 
His fine library included coUedidnx Kir the hiatory 
of Wnnstead and district. BarkiDg. Bast Ham. 
Stepney, Bow, and Canterbury. His cfasnuing 
personality assembled around hini mnny (riiiid*. 
and he was ever willing Ui impart to nlJicts the 
ilts of his labours. He was buried in 
Mary's churchyard, Wanste&d, Uie milet 
God's acre he loved so much, and leaves * widow, 
tour sons, and three daughters. C B. C,

Scethrog is a house in the paritih of 
UonsanitTraed, near a village of the same 
me. Towards the end of (he seven- 
mill century this house became the prin- 
~J reaidence of the Vaughans of Treiower. 
r branch of that family also owned 
n the same parish, where Henry 
Silurist. was bom and lived. 
..snded from the ancient princes of the 
mtry, Watkin bore the arms of Bleddyn 
B Uataaaroh, Sa., a chevron arg. between 
lee Hpears' heads of the second inibrued.* 
They had been settled from the fifteenth 
century in the porifh of Llansantflraed in 
Ih* valley of the Usk, about 4 railas S.W. 
[^the town of Brecon. John W 

who appears to have been the first 
s family to enl«T trade, wa^ connected 




by descent and alliance with some of the 
most iiifiiientiol Breconshire fofniliee — the 
Gameses of Newton, the Penrj-s of Llwyn- 
cynteEn, the Williamsce of Penpont, the 
Herberts of Crickhowel, and man.v others. 
Large fortimoe were made in trade in the 
town of Brecon in the seventeenth century, 
and the younger eons of the landed gentry 
went into business in the county town 
OS a matter ot course. When tJiey died, 
after taking port in the government" of the 
boroiigh as Bailiffs, Aldermen, and Common 
Councillors, they were laid to rest in the 
Priorj-- Church of St. John, under Bat stonee 
carved with floreated crosses of great beauty, 
whicJi invariably bore their coats of anus 
of many quarterings in high relief. John 
Waters is described ae " a rich clothier," 
though on his first wife's tomb he appears 
as " mercer " — probably he was both. 

In. a MS. history of the town of Brecon, 
written by Hugh Thomas in 1698, occurs 
tjie following : — 

" AU the Common OoudcU of this tonn except

Of the father Hugh Thom&s also wrote : 
" Ho was a vcrj' worthy deserving gentle- 
man ; for his great merits God blessed 
bim with more than common fate." This 
refers not only to his prosperity in businese, 
but abo to tlie fact that ne was left a niost 
beautiful estate by a distant cousin, Maoa- 
mawr in t}ie Usk valley, seven miles S.W. 
of Brecon, wliicli was sold bv the l^'ntes 
in 1767. The will was disputed by the next 
of kin. and a very interesting account of 
the signiikg of the will is etill enant, written 
by Henry Vaughon, Silurist, who was Uio 
testator's cousin, neighbour, and medical 
attendant. 

In a list of voters (given by Hugh Thomas] 
at a Pailiamentary election which toe It 
place in Brecon on July 35, 1S03, John 
Waters, Esq., voted in St. Marj's Ward (or 
.TeHrey Je&eys of the Priorj-. The only 
house he is likely to ha%-o occupied in St. 
Mary's Ward is the Mansion Houxe, until 
recently the residence of the late Viscount 
Tredegar, which is not to old as the sevwi- 
teenth century, though an earlier house on 
the site e%'en then bore the tame tiame.

Street, and the money ia Btill given evei^- 
year to eight poor tradesmen of the town. 
This building, which ie opposite the spoi 
where the High Cross stood imtil the 
eighteenth century, may have been the 

EUkce of buainees where John Waters made 
is fortune ; in any cose it must have been 
hisjproperty. His will was proved in 1699. 

Ihe Waters family after they came to 
Brecon were buried in the south transept 
of the Priory Church, a remarkably fini-

has alao from early times borne the namt'

It ia curiona that Hugh lliomaa, thou^ 
a herald, does not, as was his wont, mention 
the ooat of arms on the stone. Perhaps it 
was added later, for it was described by 
the county historian, Tboa. Jones, when he 
wrote in 1806, as having a shield with ei^ht 
quarterings, which he gave. The inscription 
and the aims can still be deciphered, though 
they are much defaced by time.

Light DmsiUN'a Makoh to Tai,a- 
. Jui-y, 1809.— The forced march made 
the ligbt Oivisioo, under General 
furd, in order to join the army undur 
Artbar Wellealey at Talavera, has often 
Deem cited, and deeorvedly 60, oa ea out' 
Btandirtg imtaace of the pluclc and stamina 
of British soldiers. At thu same time 
Mttboritiea diHer ae to the details. Napier 
Wioa ' History of the War in tha Feoinaula,' 
nj^ viii. obap. ii., says : — 

pTlHI troops, leaving only seveuteeQ Etnffileiv 
^^', bi twenty-sii taoun crossed the field of 
in B close and cumpitct body, haviog in 
U time passed over siity-two Knsliiih miles in 
■ lK)t(«n seasoQ ot the ySAr, each man carrying 
^ fifty to sixty pounds weight apon hia 

h^ner, who was tci the 43rd Regiment, 
^ not ootuolly take part in the march, 
ring bi'en left beliind at Piascucia owing 
■kn attack of pttiurisy, though he joined 
» Division (at grave riak to himself) a 
' or two after, and Ihureforw traversed 
Bune ground, tjeo ' Diet. Nat. Bio- 
Mby.' Uis account ia not, however, 
^Htcmed by Mr. Oman, who in his * History 
(the Poniusular War,' vol. iL p. SSU, says 
Uioy marched jorly-Uirae milee in 
'^•two hours, " though the day was 
' ■oldier carried eome fift: 



pounds weight on hia bock." In a foot-not© 
on p. 561 he specifically states that " the 
distauco was forty -three miles, not, na 
William Napier etatee, eixty two." In 
support of hia account hti refeia to ' Rough 
Sketches ot a Soldier's Life,' by Col. Leacb. 
a.lth Regiment, &nd to the ' Autobiography ' 
of Sir Georue Napier, who was in the 52ad, 
Mr. Fortoecue in bis ' History of th« 
British Army,' vol. vii. p- 26-'i, says that they 
marched " before dawn on the 28th," and 
reached Oropesa at noon, where Craufurd 
weeded out a few sickly men, pushing 
Forward with the remainder in all possible 
haste. The next halt was at ten o'clock 
the same night : — 

" From thencp they ranrched without further 
liDgcriD);! straight on to the battlt^-Hclil, where 
they arrived about aii ti'clock in the morniiiB of 
the 2(ith. having covered between forty-live and 
fifty miles in about twentf-Ilve hours," 

As a possible explanation of the difierenca 
in the oiatance covered, aa given by Mapief 
and Oman, I would suggest that the former 
included the distance marched on July 27, 
He B:«ys (p. 178) : — 

■' Those troops (i.r., Uie 43rd, 52nd, and BStll 
regiments] had been, after a march of twmty 
mUea, butted near Ualpurtida de PUscdcIh when 
the alam\ caused by the Spanish fugitives spread 
to that part ; Cniufurd. tesriug fur the army, 
allowed only n lev houns' rest, and then, with- 
drawing about fifty ol the weakest from the 
ranks, recommenced bis march with a resolution 
□ot to halt untU the field ot batUe was reached." 

It would seem therefore that the actual 
forced march, wliich begun according to 
Fortescua" before dawn," and was continued 
with a halt at noon, and another at ton o'clock 
at night, on July 28, waa about forty-throe 
miles, not sixty-two as statod by Napier. 
On the other bond, Oman makes the time 
only twenty -two hours. In any case it 
was a remarkable performance, foUoning 
a march of twenty miles on the 27tb, with 
only a few hours' leet that night.

The uncertain word " hattich " may be

it is not clear what was deiaolished. Dean

Apparently, the interpolation of the words

This is strongly reminiscent of the stick

' The Old Woman and her Pig,* while the 
xhythm of the phrases recalls that of ' The 
House that Jack Built.' Whether the

or was merely repeating phrases already 
current among schoolboys^ it is difficult to 
believe that the original inventor of them

Scott : Slip in *Oid Moktality.' — It is 
amusing to notice a blunder which Scott 
made in the beginning of chap. iv. of this 
novel. He speaks of an innkeeper who 
had been " a strict Presbyterian of such 
note that he usually went among his sect 
by the name of Gains the Publican." This 
sobriquet is presumably intended to be an 
allusion to some New Testament phrase. 
But in the New Testament the word *' pub 
Jican '* is, of course, never used ezo^t in 
j169 B0D8e of ** tasK-ooUector" What ran in 



Scott's mind was, doubtless, the pawRftfl Bitt 
Rom. xvi. 23 : ** Gains, mine host, and o Kae 
whole church, saluteth you." I am aom 
I that Scott himself would have lanjg^ied 
heartily at the slip, if it had been pointed 
out to him. John Wuxoock.

"John Robertson," a PsECDONYMOtrB 
NiNKTEENTH - Centuky Pobt. —Archbishop 
Trench's well-known ' Household Book oit 
English Poetry" (4th ed., 188i) includes a 
poem in blank verse of seventv-three lineB, 
entitled ' The Prince of Orange in 1672,' 
and signed " John Robertson." In a note 
at the end of Ms book Trench writes : — 

" P. 304, No. 286. — This poem is dmwn from 
a email volume with the title * David and Solnuel, 
with other Focmn,' publkbed in tJie year 1869. 
Much in the volume can claim no exemption 
from the doom whleb before vcrr long awHita all 
vereo except (he vury beat. Yet one or two 
poems have cauKht excellently welt the tone, 
half eericufl, half ironical, of Goethe's lighter 
pieces ; while more than one of tbe more uniformly 
lerious, this above all. fleem to me to have remark' 
ible merit. It finds its motive, as I need hnrdty 
ny, in the reeolntion of the Dutch, when their 
itruRBle with the ovttrwhelming might of Louis 
XIV. and Ua satellite Charlce II. seemed hopclea*, 

leave in maas their old home, and to found 
another Holland among their possesaions in the 
Eastern world. I believe that I break no oon- 
Idence in meationing that Robertson is here the 
lom de plume of one who bao since in pnwe 
iwakened sn Interest and achieved a reputation 
which it woa not given to hia veree to do. 
I cannot trace " John Robertson " in 
Halkett and Laiog's ' Dictionary of Anon^-

Ouahing's work on pseudonyms. I should 
be glad to learn who he was.

themselTes to take, make, and subscribe the

One question is whether these registers 
have been preserved, and where they can be 
found if they still exist. 

The 18th seotioa of the Act runs as 

follows : — 

"Provided always, that no oongrega^tion or 
assembly for religious worship shall be permitted 
or allowed by this Act untu the place of such 
meeting shall be certified to the oishop of the 
diocese, or to the archdeacon of that archdeaconry, 
or to the justices of the peace, at the general or 
quarter sessions of the peace for the county, city, 
or place, in which suoi meeting shall be held, 
a^d registered in the said bishop's or arch- 
deacon's court respectively, or recorded at the 
fljUid general or quarter sessions, the register or 
clerk of the peace whereof respectively is hereby 
required to register the same, and to give cer- 
tificate thereof to audb person as shall demand 
the same, for which there shall be no greater fee 
or reward taken than the sum of sixpence.'* 

The remaining question is whether these 
registers have been preserved, and whether 
they can be inspeoted. A. D. T.

Wax: " Medk Wax" and " Bombt 
Wax."— In the (Aiutchwardens' acoountB of 
Wimbome Minster there are frequent entries 
of sums paid for mede or meade wax, mod 
for bolen, boUen, bellevUf or buUeyn wax> 
In the earlier part of the sixteenth oenjkniy 
the price of mede wax was Sd. a poundU 
whilst bolen wax cost 6d. a pound, l^th e 
accounts for the year 1608-9 the pordiafle 
is recorded of 7 pounds of mede w«i, 14 

rtunds of bolen wax, and an additional 
pounds of mede wax : " All this wax was 
bestowed upon y* pascall and 3^ fonte 
taper." 

^he • New English Dictionary ' definoa 
ttie obsolete wom^nedewax " or ** nied- 
wax " as meaning " some kind of^ ^'•^J',? 
and suggests its derivation from '* mead 
(the honeyed drink made from fennepted 
honey and water, or honey), or else from 
" mead " (a meadow)— in either case^ I pre- 
sume, implying that it was honey wax* or 

bees' wax. 

But what was bolen wax ? Wasvegptsbl© 

wax known four centuries ago ? If so, was 

bolen wax some form of vegetable wax t 

Possibly, though not so probably» the 
term " mede wax " may have been denved 
from ** mede," meaning price or value^ and 
may have been so called from its *>«5^L* 
superior article, whereas " bolen ", ^w*™, ^ 
an inferior kind of wax. I shall be g^ « 
any of your readers can enlighten me as to 
the meaning of these words.

child, heir to a great Lancastrian nobleman 
(slain in battle or beheaded in the Ware of 
the Roses), is saved from death by tha

The boy is concealed in a forest, where he

Hbbaldio : Caftok and his Capttvb'b 
Abms. — In Mr. DorJiog's book ' Leopards 
of England,' p. 16, we read : " It was a 
principle of the law of arms that if any 
man were made a prisoner of war his arms 
with all else that lie had became the just 
prize of his captor." I presume this metuis 
that the captor became entitled to make 
use of such arms by quartering or displaying 
them on his own shield ; otherwise there 
would be no particular reason for alluding, 
in a book on heraldry, to the obvious foot 
that a victor was entitled to s^ze anything 
his prisoner was possessed of, and keep it 
for bia own. It would be interesting to 
have some examples of this principle, 
illustrating the user by a n^lor irf his 
vietim's vms or the aooption of them *n 
Jnm of Aw own, / have 



apply to crests as well aa to coats ot anna. 
Perhaps in ttiis way can be explained the 
otherwise unaccountable presence of certain 
quarterings in the achievement of soma 
ancient lamiJies. Certain great warrion 
would be mtitled to " sport " a number 
of coats on the above tmsis, but I am 
sceptical whether the principle ever eadatad 
to any recognizable extent. B. 8. B.

I540y he was ^ven permission to depart 
from Bfalta. On the dissolution of the

1540 (by 32 Hen. Vm. c. 24), he was 
allowed an annual pension of 102. Some

For Bome time I have been trying to

Grove, According to the pedigree in 
Hoare's ' Wilts,' his wife's Christian name 
was Dorothy : according to a statement in 
Hutchins's ' Dorset ' in the pedigree of 
Swaine of Gun^ille. Eleanor, dau^ter of 
Robert Sw^ne and of Margaret his wife, 
mamed Hugh Grove. Probably the first 

wife was Dorothy , and the second 

Eleanor Swaine. If this be the fact, 
Eleanor Grove, who married Thomaa Fuller, 
waa orJy a half-sister of Hugh Qrove who 
Buffered at Eieter pro reije et lege. 

I cannot follow Mb. Ftlleh's argument 
thai any reason exieted for keeping tlie fact 
of the marriage quiet. 

Tlip pedigree runs thus; —

Thomasine Mayhewe his wife, held lands

T.\X ON ARMORIAL BEARINGS- 



(12 i 



iv. 12, 79.) 



Mb. Justice Udai. makes a most valuable 
reply on this subject ; the matter is parh^S 
of wider interest than at first appears. 

I may assure Mr. Udai. that the de- 
struction of historical heraldry in con- 
sequence ot this tai is tar greater than be 
seemii to imagine. I have already referred 
to a lady within my personal acquaintance 
who haa had all the orests and coats of arma 
removed from a largo number of silver 
articles (inherited, not bought), representing 
no fewer than four families of Cheshire, 
with thair connexions with each other. 
Another friend, a Yorkshire lawyer, tells 
me ho cannot pay any superfluous taxation 
when he returns to England, and so all his 
family heirlooms (inherited) will have to he 
treated in the same way. On the other 
hand, a tliird friend, who has but Blender 
claim to " old descent," and therefore 
perhaps values a " wlfmade " badge all 
the more, ia apparently quit* content to 
pay for it. Such seems to bo the actual 
working of this tax at the present moment. 

Heri^dic anomalies connected with the 
tax are almost too nvuneroue to othnit of 
any tabulation, and only a few of the more 
prominent can be alluded to. For instance : 

Armorial bearings are bearings. crostB. or 
ensigns, or any kuid of eonbiem, whatever 
it may be called, but I see nowhere tliat 
such emblems must necessarily be of an 
heraldic character. A rebus or group of 
letters on a shield is certainly armorial.

arms — exempt from the tax ? A young 
friend of mine named Hyacinth has her 
name-flower as a badge upon her note- 

faper ; ought she not to pay the tax ? 
really see no very great dineronce between 
this hyacinth and any other vegetable used 
in heraldry, except in its being represented 
in a perfectly natural form. 

Mb. Udal's distinction between possession 
and display of armorials is a nice point in 
the discussion. A man may hardly con- 
ceal his belongings from the tax-collector 
if it is justifiable Uiat they should be taxed. 
He may, of course, renounce all possession 
in family coats of arms, as, for instance, 
my legal friend referred to above is doing ; 
but I am afraid the theory that the gentle- 
man with a signet ring *' is equfiSly at 
liberty to put it in his pocket,'* and pre- 
sumaoly keep it for private use and display, 
is very much outside the meaning of tlus 
modem law. The use of armoruJ book- 
plates is another nice point. No one who 
takes up a book with a display of heraldry 
on the inside of its front cover can but 
imagine that the owner of the book has 
paid his licence tax for this as much as for 
nis spoons and foiks. But then comes in 
the question of book-plates in old or second- 
hand volimies. The whole subject involves 
many side-issues as to books with engraved 
dedications under coats of arms, covers with 
armorial tooling, Sco. 

I have observed in the accurate photo- 
advertisements of modem silversmiths in I 1875. Mr. F. E. Brantingham, aa onder- 
the picture papers that the salvers, cups, graduate member of Christ Church, Mid an 



historical and family heraldic mflmoriais* 
Old families have an unfortunate tendency 
towards poverty, and the poor are not 
justified m paying taxes on superfluities 
which are amon^ ttie privileoBS of th^ 
notweau riche. The object ot heraldry 
seems defeated and repressed by this tax* 

Mb. Gbukdy-Nswman, who answers my 
query as to the date of the tax, also opens 
up another branch of the subject; if the 
royal arms are exempt, do the Dukes of 
Buccleuch, St. Albans, and otiiers, and the 
innumerable persons who claim the rig^t to 
quarter the Flantagenet lions on their 
snields, possess an CMqual exemption I But 
I think the law implies that only the actual 
Royal Family, and the Qovemmept officials 
using the arms in the course of their official 
duties, can possibly be privileged. 

It would be interesting to know to wliat 
extent the tax is really levied. Are the 
coats of arms of Cit^ Livery Comnsnies* of 
commercicd corporations, Ac, liable, or are 
these armoriab re^Eurded as trade-maiks t 

The only coat of arms which I personally 
display is a very fine and correctly em- 
blazoned shield over the front entranca 
door of my house. It is: on a fiMd as. 
a lion rampant or ; but I azn sorry to add 
that it represents nothing more than tha 
compensation offered me by a flre insurance 
company. I trust that the said company 

Siys its amiorial tax with as much ro^* 
rity as I pay my fees, but I suppose it is 
really exempt as a trading society. 

Gr. J.f f •D.A* 

An interesting case bearing on^ tins 
subject — ^the Inland Revenue CommisaioDsrs 
V, Brantingham — ^was heard in the l^ca- 
Chancellor's Court at Oxford on Nor. 12, 



trays, &c., for which they get high prices 
as antiques, are almost invariably repre- 
sented with the c'bats of arms cleaned off. 
I therefore think Mb. Udal's contention 
that the presence of coats of arms on plate 
conveys great additional value in the eyes 
of collectors is not borne out by fcM$ts in 
the case of plate, and most certainly not in 
the case of books, for how many of the 
readers of ' N. &, Q.' must possess books 
mutilated by the tearing-out of their book- 
plates, or at least by their defacement ! 
However, to pursue the matter would 



take up too much space in * N* & Q.' The 
conclusion I have come to is that this tax

i liithorto provided for its members note- 
per Btamped with the amiB or badges of 
the Colleges, was so alarmed at this 
oision that it at once withdrew all College 
note-paper from use. And this on the 
advice of a local accountant who was con- 
BUlted ! But when it waa pointed out to 
the officerH that the Oxford Union Society 
pMd its annual guinea for a licence, and was 
a •■ club or society " witliin the terms of the 
licence, and that an accountant waa scarcely 
an authority on legal technicalities, the 
College note-paper waa restored. i 

Sheriffs and mayors may use annorial 
bearings during their year of office without 
taking out a licence ; but in the case of 
members of a " club or society " using arms 
at the club, I take this to be a pure act of 
favour on the part of the Commissioners.

aEMEiiA.L Grant oh Wslunoton (12 S- 
iv. 4i, 115).— Probably the following anec- 
dotes give the origin of the story quoted by 
Mh. C, E. Stbatton in his query. 

The late Sir William Fraser in bis ' Words 
on Wellington,' 1889, p. 79, wrote : — 

" A story was toJd ot General Grant, the great 
American Fresideiit and warrior, which faHcinated 
tiie. General Gnint was mvtted 'to dine at ApBlej' 
Hmiae by the 2iid Duke ot Wt'llington. A most 
dating bbed party nsaembled to mett him.

FrMldent. addressing the Ihikc at the head ol the 
table, said, ' Hy Lord, I have beard that your 
father was a military man. Was that the 

Instead of omitting this absurd story from 
his completed book, Fraser contented him- 
self with writing, nearly one hundred pages 
later (viz., pp. 170, 171), as follows : — 

'■ In an earlier part of this work I t«ld the 
story of President Grant dining at Apaley House. 
X regret that I naked the 2nd Duke wh.%t renllv 
tdok place. However, bs the reader has had full 
enjoyment of the slory, I must now, in the 
ioteresta of truth, state what the Duke told me 
happened. He said that during dinner General 
Grant kept trying ta get him to aay what was the 
Kreateat number ot men that his father b^d 
commanded in the field. The Duke added, ' I 
■BW What he was at j it I had said forty or SOby 
thousand men, he would base replied, '' Well, I 
have comnuinded a hundred thousand " ; ao I 
was determined not to answer hia qucetionjl as to 
thU ; ond I succeeded.' " 

This appears to be the origmal ot the 
late Lord Redesdale's story. Indeed, 
it is not impossible that IVaser, who 
apparently found hi» first stoiy too faaoi- 
aating for onussion, " improved his second 
«» time went on ; or others probably iM bo. 
diedia 1898. 



The Duke's answer to Geoetal Grant 
ight well have been " I do not remember," 
seeing that his father commanded 69,700 
the field at Waterloo. See ' The 
Rise of Wellington,' by the late Lord 
Roberts, in The PaU MaU Magmine.. ot 
January, 1805. or vol. v., p. 82. If it bo 
that the Red^dale story haa its origin in 
the second Fraser stoiy, it is obviouB tliat 
it reet^ on an asaumption made by tiiB 
second duke se to what Grant would have 
said in circumstances which did not occur. 
If the ex-President had deeired to do bo. 
he could easily have made the suggeeted 
remark without the opportunity supposed 
to have been sought for, but it is naidly 
conceivable that he would hat-e done so.

Dr. Skeat, they have different roots. In 

the ceiebi^tod eong mentioned Londoners 

and Southerners used to «ng ot the " barley 

" ; rustics north of the Thames mostly 

of the '■ barleymow," riming the word 

with " how." The different pronuDciation 

of words in different districts and places is 

one of the pitfalls of phonetic spelien. 

Townsmen mock the rustics ; on the othsr 

hand, rustics niook at the peciiUar pro- 

l^iation ot the townsmen. Tlie nistios 

probably nearer the ancient pronnneitt- 

of this and many other words than ttis

Close to Newport, Isle of Wight, ia an 
inn called the " Barleymow," wliich, when 
I waa a boy there (between forty and fifty 
years ago), was always pronounced to rimA 
with "how." The noun "mow" is ad- 
mitted by Mb. Jonas to be pronounced in 
tliis way, and therefore when it is com.- 
pounded with " barley " we should naturally 
expect the some pronunciation to be ol^ 
served. But except as an inn sign the wotd 
"barleymow" ia probably not now oftea 
used, wliile the verb " to mow " i» one witk

"jTbouncer " (12S.iv. 101).— In reference 
to this word, I have received the follow- 
ing from the Right Hon. G. W. Erskine 
Russell: — 

** Can the etymology be something of this kind ? 
'When I was a boy the word to '^trounoe * was 
used by old-fashioned people in Bedfordshire 
with the specific meaning of • flogsing at the 
cart's tail.* It was not used of any other form of 
t>anishment, and was therefore going out of use 
since flogging was abolished. It has occurred to 
me that the * trouncer * — the man behind the cart 
— might be connected in some way with tiiis 
-verb." 

Reverting subsequenUy to the matter, 

liir. Russell wrote: — 

** I remember the incident perfectly well. I 
'Was a small boy, and a lady quoted from an old 
'woman of the labouring diisses. My informant 
had made a rash remark about a man suspected of 
murder, and the old woman turned on her, saying : 
^ Them as says such ttdngs ought to be irouncedJ' 
I had never heard the word, and asked : * What 
does " trouncing *' mean ? * The answer was : 
-^ Flogging at the cart's tail.' I presume that the 
word survived the practice, and gradually lost its 
specific meaning."

In 1803 the 66th Foot— which at that

-was already quartered, occupied in forward-

Bullock a month later. 

** At the end of one month from the com-

March 13], Lieut. Hutchingi and two privates 
were the only persons of this party who remained 
alive. This officer recovered by going imme- 
lately to sea, a total change of air oeing one of 
the most successful remedies for this dreadful 
malady,** 

^hioh is described as " endemial fever.'* 
Lieut. - Col. George Maddison, Lieut, and 
Adjutant John Young, and Lieuts. Thomas 
Watson and Philip de Lisle were aJso in 
Ceylon ia this year. The detachment, 
which seems to have numbered only 83 
N.C.O.S and men, arrived in Ceylon from 
the Cape on Nov. 1, 1802. Lieut. Young 
was Quartermaster of the detachment at 
Oolomoo from Dec. 28, and adjutant 
irom Feb. 23, 1803. It left for India 
at the end of 1803. A detachment 
proceeded from Colombo to Trincomalee, 
March 13-17. Lieut.-Col. Maddison suc- 
4>eeded Lieut.-Col. David Robertson as 
Commandant of Colombo in June, 1803.

The other North Riding Regiment, the 
19th Foot, was at this tone also in the 
island, where it was destined to serve for 
the long period of twenty - four years, 
viz., from 1796 to 1820. So, too, was 
the 51st Foot, then the 2nd Yorkshire 
(West Riding) Regiment; it stayed from 
1801 to 1807. Both these regiments saw 
much hard eampaigging against the Kan-

from Kandy on April 11, 1803, after an 
absence of less than two months in the 
Kandyan country, most of its 400 men 
were suffering from this *' endmnial fever/* 
and within we next two months 300 of 
these died. 

A fourth Yorkshire regiment wfaich bas

The Birmingham Weekly past of Aug. 30,

occurred at Ashfordbury Rectory, Leicester-

visiting certain rooms in the Rectory at the 
dead of night, and " ripping the blankets 
and other clotliing from hannleBB sleepers." 
After many fruitless efforts to get rid of the 
oninvited guest, the rector (Rev. F. A.

Devils blowing Hoens oa Teumpbts 
(12 S. iv. 134).— The inscription referred to 
by Me. Le Cocteub is on the rood-screen- 
in Campt^all Church (1 J miles west of 
Askem, in the Bornsdale country). As 
given by Joseph E. Morris in ' The West 
Riding of Yorkshire ' (Methuen's "' Littln 
Guides ") it is as follows : — 
Let fnl downe thyn ne, and lift up thy harl ; 
Behold thy Maker on yond cros si to tolra] ; 
Remember hin Wondis that for the did sinftirt, 
Gotyn withowut syn, and on a Virgin boiin].

Alas I man. thy hart oght to brast in loo.

And prai thi gode aungel conae the, 
Morris says : — I 

" 1 copied this inscription with care, hut have . 
added the punctuation. The letters added In 
square brackets are abttent in the origrhial — not 
merely illegible ; and in one ease at leaet I have 
noted the usual mark ol Bbbreyialion (hor)," 

Murray's ' Yorkshire ' says : — 

" The devil's horn frequently appearB In e»rly 
paintings ; and ' The Shepherd's Kalendor ' haa 
a poem bended ' How every Man and Woman 
ought to cease ot their sins at the sounding at a 
dreadful horn.' " 

Morris, aft«r referring to ' The Shepherd'* 
Kalendar,' which he considers perh^a 
dates from the end of the fifteenth century, 
adds: —

It should be noted that the inscription as 
given in Murray varies in spelling in several 
places from Morris's version ; and Murray 
gives the last line as 

And pray thy gode aungel convoy the. 

1 have not access to a copy of * The 
Shepherd's Kalendar,' but the heading t» 
one of its poems quoted above seems to 
regard '' the sounding ot a dreadful horn" 
as something tliat ought to lead t^> re- 
pentance, whieli hardly fits in witli tho 
idea of the CanipMitl inscription, whii^ 
appears to be that when the devil blows liifc- 
hum the bouI is in special peril.

NOTES AND QUERIES. [ts s. iv. Jol», 



It has occurred to me that, the devil 
t>eing represented in Scripture as ** going 
^about seeking whom he may devour, the 
idea of the inscription was that he was like 
« hunter blowing his horn when in full cry 
waiter his quarry. On the other hand, 
Heame in his preface to Robert of Gloucester, 
p. xviii, speaking of the old custom of 
drinking out of horns, observes : — 

" Tis no wonder therefore that, upon the 
. JoUities on the firat of May formerly, the custom 
•at blowing with, and drinking in, horns so much 
orevailed, which though it be now generally 
a!8UB*d, yet the custom of blowing them prevails 
at this season, even to this day, at Oxford, to 
cemind people of the pleasantness of tiiat part 
«of the yo&r, which ought to create mirth and 
^ayety.** 

W. C. Hazlitt ('National Faiths and 
Popular Customs '), after quoting the above, 
;adas : *' That the twofold use of the horn for 
drinking and blowing purposes is very 
.ancient seems to be shown by the poem 
entitled 'The Ck>kwolds Daimce'" f Re- 
mains of E. P. Poetry of England,' L). Again, 
* Hunts-up ' was a tune played on the horn 
^early in the morning unaer the windows of 
sportsmen to awaken them and summon 
-them to the chase. It is, therefore, possible 
that the blowing of the devil's horn stood for 
A summons or call to join in revelry and 
worldly pleasures in which the soul would 
1)6 exposed to special dangers and tempta- 
tions. Wm . SlELF WSBKB.

Db. Johnson: Tubnino thb Teacup 
{12 S. iv. 131). — Sixty years ago it was 
^mstomary at most tea-drinkings to turn 
the teacup as a sign that the drinker had 
finished. Another sign was to place the 
teaspoon on the right side of the empty cup 
in the saucer to signify that more was 
wanted, and on the left side to show that 
the drinker had finished, these two signs 
bein^ used at private or social " hen *'- 
parties — that is, at drinkings in cottage 
nouses. Thos. RA^rcLpms.

The year tor which the accounts wer« hundcd in

ODiitting a note of the year concemed. If Ihi^t

throughout the transcript, the work would have 
been much easier to refer to. 

The mattern dealt with here are what nny 
reader of ' N. & Q.' coidd foretell, without having 
inspected the book ; but they are none the lesn

of disbunemcnts for the " dinner," for repairs,

Among the many men ot ptomlse who have

is not tbe least t«gteltcd. He had good Uote, 
wide knowledge, and a gilt of expreasion — 
qualities which go far to make the ideal com-

for the elementary student ubcn we look at 
some ot Ihe notes on mythology, but it takea a 
serious and well-instructed view of the art and 
bignificnnce of Keats which may well commctid 
it to older readets. The ' CommeDtary,' which 
is riverved to the end oif tbe book, is a good piece 
of critiri^m. In Ibe notes the comparisons with 
other poels and the impn>vemenls by which 
Keats reached his Una) felicity are of special

was Clerk of Assize to Sir Marmadulro 
until bis imprisonment. Sir M. Lloyd was 
nephew to Dr. MarmadtikoMiddleton.BiiiihDp 
of St. David's 1582-90, and was of Maes-y~ 
felin, Cardiganshire. His arms, which have 
been mentioned ^ a quartering on Lady 
Tynte's haichnient, were granted to hia 
ancetjtor Cadifor ap Dinawel by liis kinsman 
the Lord Rhys for taking Cardigan Caatio 
by escalade. 

Mary Waters was not six years old vriiea 
her father died, and she wa^ probably loft 
to the special guardianship of her uncle 
Mr. William Philips, Recorder of Brecon, 
who had married her aunt Anne Waters am 
his arst wife. After Ibe deaih of Mrs. 
Pltilitis the Recorder married Frances, 
datighier and coheiress of Judge Frauds 
Lloyd, and widow of Thomas Williams, Esq., 
of Tallei,-. Mr. Phihps was al'^o a kinsman 
of Marj- Waters, his mother having been 
Margaret, daughter of TJioma* Penry, 
mercer, and by his marriage he became 
doubly her uncle. Hia dau^ter Anne was 
bom a few ntonihs before her eousin Mary 
Waierti. Tlie charming old hcuae wliere 
Mr. Philipc li^■M^, and where hi« niece ma^ 
have passed many of her early days, is 
still standing in Glamorgan Sireot. Its 
panelled rooms, fine staircase, and deep 
garden reaching lo the old town walls are 
but little changed. Mary Waters was 
executrix of her father's will, and at the 



i 



OKRIES. 112 8. ivfl 



time of her marriage Thomas Penry, Eaq. 
of LIwjTicyntefn, aad Gregory Parry, Esq. 
were the only surviving guardians and 
tniatees appointed by John Waters, Mr. 
William Philips (who certainly must have 
been another) having died in 1721. It 
seems probable that Mary Waters met Sir 
Hftlflweli Tynte at the house of her kinsfolk 
the Gameses of Newton, a fiuo old mansion 
a mile from the Guildhall, Brecon, Mrs. 
Hoo Games having been Miss Blanche 
Kemeye before her marriage, and a oouein 
of Sir Halsnell. To the marriage articles, 
dated Sept. 19, 1727, the bride signed her 
name as "Mary Walters" ; and amongat her 
trustees were her kinsmen Penry Williams, 
Esq., of Penpont, Lewis Harcourt, Esq., of 
Dan-y-parc, and her cousin Anno, who was 
already married to Wm. Scourfieid, Esq. 
SirHftlswell and Mary Waters were married 
at Uonwem Churoh, near Brecon. They 
had two daughters who died in their 
infancy. Sir H. Tynte, Bart., of Halswell. 
CO. Somerset, died in Nov., 1730, and in 
1736 his widow married Mr. Paulet St . John 
of Dogmerelleld, Hants, as his second wife, 
by whotn she had several oliildren, thepresent 
Kr G. A. Si. John-MiJdmay, Bart., being 
her direct descendant. Lady Tvnte died in 
1758. There is no evidence' that Lady 
Tynte kept up any connexion with Brecon : 
her large poaseasions passed to the Tynte 
family, ana were sold by them in the latter 
partof thoeighteenth century. LodyTynte's 
name frequently appears in the discuf!sion 
on the Mows or Mewvs family (12 S. ii. 26, 
93, 331, 419, 432; iii'. 16, fi2,"ll3, 196, 236, 
421, 464; iv. 166). 

Mr, and Mrs. Scourfield's only eon Henrj', 
under a special Act of Parliament, sold bis 
mother's Breconshire estates in 1779, to 
buy property in Pembrokeshire, so that by 
the end of the eighteenth century all the 
Waters lands, whioh were of considerable 
consisting of manors, farms, od- 
13, &c., were sold to strangers, and 
I of their descendants remained in 
mnshire. 

^niis family of Waters had apparently 
no connexion with the family of Waters 
whose tomb is described by Qmrchyard in 
his ' Worthiness of Wales,' pubhshed in 1 587, 
as the pedigree, ante, p. 179, shows.* Until 
the Reformation there was no tomb of any 
kind in <he chance) of St. John's Oiurch, 
excepting that of the builder, Reginald de 
Breos. Lord of Brecknock, portions of whose 



wooden efligj' lasted until the middle o 
nineteenth century. It being the nm 
chuTcli as distinct from the parish chure 
which WB.S the nave, no buriEile but that <.. 
de BreoB had taken place there. Wlien the 
monks departed the parishioners at once 
began to use the chancel for intermeni. 
and tombs of the altar type, wiili ten 
full - length figures upon them in wood or 
alabaster, were erected, though three effigit-s 
only have remained to the present day. 
Amongst those missing are one Wotera 
and his wife," but from Churehyard'e de- 
scription of the arms emblazoned on their 
tomb, this Waters did not belong 
as none of the i^uarterings are LhoM 
Breconshire families. He was prol 
Thomas Walter, BailiU of Brecon in ll 
or Matthew Waller, Baihff in 1521, the 
appointed by Edward Stafford, Duke 
Buckingham and Xiord of Brecknock, before 
his fall. It seems likely tJiat they were of 
a Ludlow family of that nanie. Anyhow, 
so keen a genealogist as Hugh Thom&s 
would certainly have mentioned iho dascent 
of John Waters from those repnraented on 
the tomb seen by Churchyard had there 
been any truth in the supge^ion. but the 
Waters pedigree gives no hint of any link 
between them. Hugh Thomas hved in 
Brecon lees than 100 yeara after Churdi- 
yard's visit, and was well aeqxiainled with 
the history and family traditions of the 
town and county. 

The following is tJie end of an inscription 
a Llansantffrawl Church (St. Bride's Ghm"*^' 
n the tomb of David Watkin, who ^ 
1 1618 (see pedigree, ante, p. 179):- 
" This David, his fatlief sod grandlnthar * 
1 St. Bride's tliree hundred yeiin. Bo not L, 
■when thine enemy fKllftb. but consider, M^ 
this daj, to thee to-morrow — and why ? " 

As I am you bIuiU be, 

Th«t I giive that I h»ve. 

Thus I end nil my p<ist, 

That 1 left thftt I !™t." 

This is a variant of a, well-known epitag 

and there may be some long- forgot Un e" 

hidden behind it, but the reason for q|ua 

to point out that, allowing that eo«a»d 
the ^'ears the three generations Ifred in e^ 
parish were concurrent, not encces 
family seem to have belonged to Uansaqt- 
ffroed for at l(»at 200 years, which d&U» 
heir settlement there from early in th* 
fifteenth centurj'.

promised to select one "of tluit craft" fnim 
amongst the " Souldiery." The Court received 
good reports of Littleton's conduct, and in 
December, 1076, they ordered him to bo 
rontinued at KfiaimbfiEtr and "encouraged." 
In February, 1970, Jacob Verburs, Chief of the 
Dutch at &agll, arrived on a visit to Efieim- 
bfiiBr. but Littleton omitted the " usual 
ceremony " of meeting him, because it was 
" the Sabbath day, which be had HlvfaVB beon 
instnicted and brought up in a Strick ol>

Eliznheth Littleton left two daught«n, Jnne 

(fiuglfAiut Hod Elizabeth aungetlca. The latter 
tnu baptized on aept. all. 1078. by " SnmueU 
Spn, minister of the Ship Society"; and in 
December of the «amc year Jane Huglinoa was 
aeat botue in tluit ship for " Education nnd

littlelnn. «^o vint iU at the x&nie time, was 
ma affected by the toes that he begged to lie 
•llowod to resign bis post. 

However, he reconsidered his decision, nnd, 
after a visit to nogll. returned to Kasinibftz&i 
as Cbkt until Huperseded by Job Cbamock 
In 1681. The Court, who still had "n good 
opinion" of him. appointed him Second in 
BOgn and " Third in the Bay." But by 
November, 1S81, news of hia irregularitiva had 
te»cbed Englund. and he was dumissed ifnd 
ordered to be aent home (or detaining hia 
brother in England contrary to order and for 
*' divers other muaes," chief among which waa 
that ot private tmding. In January, 1682. the 
Court, *' having received further advices " ot 
bi» " nnfiiithfiilneHii," ordered him to l>e seized 
and shipped (or England in the Defence. In 
December Psnion Jotin Evans, also a. notorious 
private trader, wrote to Edward Beade in 
London that Littleton was " in a fair way to 
Ibtltb " his business, and that if he and Matthias 
Tmcent " can eecnpe att home s9 they have 
done here, they are verv fortunate men." 

The records are silent with regard to Little- 
ton's reception by hia employers. Hia father, 
fiit Timothy, " late one of the barons of the 
Bzchequer.'' had died in 1HT9, and Edward 
littleton appears to have taken op his residence 
at Uoor, in Shropshire, and to have married a 
second time. 

In \B9S be became a Director of the New or

seems clear tbttt a corruptioo lurk^ in " of a

satisfactory sense given by reading " over- 
doubt," I.e., to cast s doubt over. Then the 
sense of the passage is ; " The email sd- 
mixture of evil casts a doubt over the whole 
of a noble nature, t-o its detriment." This 
aeems in accord with what precedes, and the 
verb " overdoubt " doea not seem impossible 
in the face of such a verb as " overcloud."

• Othello,' V. ii. : " Ice brookes."— Othello 
alludes to one of hia swords thus : — 
It wM a Sword ot Spaioe, the tee brooki's tcuipT. 
" Ice brookes " has hitherto proved a crux 
to -Shakespeare oomtnentators. Blackstone 
was inchned to read " 'tis Ebroes temper," 
and Alexander Pope also treated " brook " 
aa a misprint for the name of the river Ebro. 
Bteevena thought " icebrook's " was right, 
and a passage in Martial led him to think 
that the brook or ri^Tilet used by Spanit'h 
Hwordmakers for quenching hot blades could 
be identified with the " Salo, now Xalon, 
near Bilbilie in Celtiberia." Nares gave the 
explanation that uiage or uis was Keltic for 
water or stream, and bruaieh was a hill-aiope 
or mountain-side ; but it is difficult to 
conceive how this helped the solution of the 
crux. In the ' N.E.D.' the quotation from 
' Othello ■ is given under " ice " (6) with the 
date 1S04. 

Quit« recently, however. Mr. A. F. John- 
son, in a paper on ' The Historical Side of 
Iron and Steel Making ' road before the 
Oeveland Institution of Engineers, gave 
what appears to be the correct JntoqiretBtion. 
'"iHebrooke," as printed in th^ old Quarto, 
is according to him obviously the " Angli- 
cized " version of Innsbruck, the capital 
of the Tyrol ; there are references t<i 
" Isebruk " iron in various entries in the 
State papers. The Cleveland author was 
ontioipated in this solution by Dr. L, Beck, 
who in his (German) ' History of Iron ' 
{Braunschweig, 1803-5, vol. ij. p. 884) 
mentions a payment of fi/. 6a. Hd. in May, 
1616, to a John Hurdy by the Fislimongers' 
Guild for four bundles {Gebttnd) rf " Ise- 
broke" steel for making arms {Waffen). 
Hifl authority is " A letter of Sir Henry Loe 
in lfi90 on the Trial of Iron for Armour " 
quoted in an article contributed by H. A. 
Dillon to Ardiceologiea [»ic], 2 Ser. vol. i. 
(London, 1888). Dr. Beck's explanation is 
that " laebroke " stands for Innsbruck, and 
iAat^ under '' laebroke eteet " any good 
Stytiaa ancir'Cbrmtiu'sD eteel is meant, in ttie 



same way as "Hungary" (Hungere) iron 
stood sometimeB for Styrian ii-on. In other 
parts of his book Dr. Beck has numi-Toua 
paeeages referring to the skill of famous 
makers of plate armour at Innebmi^k in the 
Knaperor Maximilian's reign, tueh i 
members of the Treitz and Seuseiibol 
families. Sbakeepeare had evidently ben. 
of the fame of Innsbruck steel for [da| 
armour, and applied its temper to 8naq)( 
awordblades. At present sted-roalung i 
the Tyrol ie practically, if not altog«tlie.

presumed early employment as a scrivtiwr, h«

a father, but not kindelynees© " ; " 

still closer parallel in Lyly's 
Bombie ' [15M) : " the greater the \

BO OS this familiar proverb contains an" 
undoubted play on words, introdiiced to give 
point and emphasis to Hamlet's cooception 
of his iincle's character ; for the allosioa 
clearly refers, as Steevens demonstrated, to 
the King, and not to Hamlet himself.

French Drama'ho Pekformakceb 
London, 1817-28.— The French stage was 
ipfiarentiy first introduced to London 
audiences in the form of subscription per- 
formances by a stock company, probably 
brought from Paris, or, we may suppose, 
recruited in Londoo. I Sir. BrefiertoB 
records (' Tlie Lyceum aiid Henry Irving,' 
1903, p. 63) that in March, 1828, at the 
"Soirees Francaises " {sic)— " for which a 
heavy subBoription was exacted from the 
pubhc "—a number of plays by Moliere were 
acted at the English Opera-House. 

A little collection of playbills recently 
secured identifies a much earlier eeriee of 
anbscription performances of French plays. 
Under the patronage of six peeresses S 
season was commenced in 1817 at the 
Argyle Rooms. The rules provided that 
admission was by card only, wliich had to bo 
signed by a I.ady PatronesR. Gentlemen's 
cards wore not transferable, but ladies could 
lend their cards — sister to Bister, mother to 
daughter, or vice vtraa. As the seaaon 
progressed other rules or restraints were 
introduced; for example, in 1818 it was 
necesHaiy to add this note to a pro- 
gramme ; — 

" Several of tJie subscribers having with jostioe 
complained of the noise and talking on Friday 
last, the Lady pHtmuessos request, as the whole 
suit of rooms are open tor the asseuibly, that the 
large one may be reserved tor those interested In 
representation . ' ' 

Each eoir^ commenced at 10 o'clock. 
Tlie collection of programnies may not be 
complete, but from their number and the 
fact that they have been file copies it 15 
reasonable to suppose that all the per- 
formances are included. At the Argyle 
Booms, 13 representations were given in 
1817, 16 in 1818. 16 in 1819, 19 in 1820. 
The following year, after 21 representationB, 
there was some change in the administration, 
and M. Qoup of 18 Great C^tle Street, 
CavendiFih Square, remo\'ed the compaiqr 
to the New Royal West London Theatre, 
Tottenham Street where on Monday, 
May 21, 1821, he commenced at 7 o'clock 
a second series of soirAes. The old sys- 
tem of a subscription for the season 
gave place to the ordinary charges for 
each performance : boies 21. 2«,, " aux 
premieres Logee " fJs., and " au Partete " 
3a. (W. { " on ne ro^oit pas d' argent A la 
porte." Four other performances wero 
provided before, on JuJy 11, 1821, a further 
removal was made to the Adelphi. The 
season closed the followJEg week,(Wid for the

FtB8T Khaki-clap FrocKEs in a Stained- 
Glass Window.— In The Jlluatrated Londoti 
JTetJW for June 8 is an illustration of a stained- 
glaps window which has just been erected in 
the parish church of Willingale Doe to the 
memory of Major A. T. Saulez. R.F.A., 
killed in action ; and at the foot of the 
illustration it is stated that the window 
affords " the first instance of a khaki figure 
in stained- glass." This is not the case unless 
it has been erected more than eighteen 
months, tor it must be about as long ago that 
I noticed in Holy Trinity Church, Kensington 
Gore, a stained-glass window (in the north 
aisle. I think, near the door) in memory of 
an oiHoer fallen in this war, in which he is 
represented in khald uniform, kneeling. I

U.S. of America (New York, Putnam Si

the island of Santa Cruz (Caribbean Sea), 
on the subject of a perpetual hay-harvest 
there, Mr. Seward states : — 

" This n^iinded one of the g^otlpmen who 
iicconipanied us of an experience that a New 
Englander had, who brought a hive o( bees here 
from the States, thinking they would make honey 
for him all tJie year round. But tto Im^b, aJt«r 
the Brat yesr's experience, diacovcrcd that, wher« 
there was no wintrr, there was no need o( laying

Roman Roads in Bbttain : thkib Aikin- 
HBST. — Many people besides engineers, land 
Btirveyors, and ploughmen must have ex- 
perienced the difficulty of "ranging" a 
Btraight line between two points not visible 
to each other. When two such points were 
more than a hundred miles apart m old times 
the problem must have been hard indeed, 
eepefJ/t]}y where tlie country had no buildings 
^jorti/iciaJ laadmarka, aad where the lower 
-"--i^ofit waa covered with thick lore&ta 




their roads T In the case of : 
starting from near the seacoast of 1 

and passing through 1 1 Chester, , 

Cirencester, and Leicester to Lincoln and tbe 
Humber coast, there is no deviation in its 
whole course of two hundred miles from a 
true line S.W. to N.E., beyond a slight 
northerly bend between Leicester and 
Newark. In tiie case of the other main 
trunk road, i.e.. the Watling Street from 
Kent, through London, to Chester, the 
adjustmeut of the line is not quite so perfect, 
though correctly drawn as far as Daventry. 
beyond which place it takes too northerly a 
direction, and then branehfa due W. for 
Uriconium, the original route to Chester 
being apparently lost. 

Perliaps some of your readers could 
explain how this oorre-ctnons of line was 
achieved. Could it be that the positioa 
of the two points being fixed approidmately 
by their relation to certain fixed stars, or 
ones low on the horizon, a »uecession of 
beacon fires was then lighted between thope 
stars 7 This woiild enable the Roman 
engineers to erect a succession of erosB-etnves 
pointing directly to such firf«, and gixing 
the true line by which to guide ooerations 
in the daytime. I should be glad of any 
information or references to the subject. 

A few years ago Mr. Belloc published a 
monograph on the ' Stane Street.' a road 
from Chichester to London, and traced t 
course very minutely. Has I " 
process been applied elsewhere ?

Bolton Psiort Coucbeb Book.— I ehall

stated by George Lawton. in his ' Collertions

(1840; Introduction, p. xv), to have been 
then in the library of the Rev. William Carr. 
Mr. Carr was Incumbent of Bolton Abbey 
from 1T89 to 1843. dying in the latter year. 
Sinee then all traces of the work have been 
lost, nor am I able to obtain the smallest 
clue as to its whereabouts, despite the most 
diligent inquiries in many quarters. 

The MS. was in the possesHion of the

" Kyn " SuTFix. — I know it is the

that " kin " or " kyn," used after a name,

the meaning of family or descendants, as in 
" kith and kin," " kinship," &e. This 
would Beem to be borne out by the following 
extract from the Calendar Patent Rolls at 
tlie Public Record Office (Index vol. 243,

LATIN ELEGIAC RENDERINGS OF 
COMMITTEEi,NOTICE. 
(12 8. iv. 73. 167.) 
I WAS well acquainted with tho late Dr. 
Benjamin Hall Kennedy (1804-89), Senior 
ClasRic of 1827. Head Master ot Shrewebuiy, 
and afterwards Regius Professor of Greek m 
the University of Cambridge : and also with 
the Hon. George Uenman (18l!>-96), who 
was educated at Repton, and w%3 Senior 
Classic at Cambridge in 1843, and Jndge of 
the High Court from 1872 to 1892. Any one 
who examines the prat edition of Dr. 
Kennedy's 'Between Whiles' (1877) will 
find on p. 164 a version of the Committre 
Notice, with the following note:^ 

" Thia circular was sent by a friend, with Uw 
toUowing statement. In a Combination -room at 
Oxford an assertion being made, that aoT 
Intelligible English could be turned intu LAttn

I now turn to the name of the late Mr, 
Justice Dpnman (tor that is liia proper 
deeignation, and not " Judge DenuiBn." 
whith would bp appropriately applied to an 
ordinary County Court judge). On his 
death in 1808, liia sons did me the honour 
of requesting me, as an old Beptonian 
speoiolly interest-ed in claat^ical composition, 
to aelect and edit hia Greek and Latin verses. 
Almost all o{ the verses handed over to me 
had been copied by himself into two large 
loaDuscript books, witJi a daH^ appended to 
each net of verses. But among the papers 
were some other sets, one of which I recog- 
nized as having been composed by myself 
at school, about 1862. and doubtless sent to 
Demnan by my own head master. Dr. Pears. 
There was also half a sheet of note-paper, 
with the Committee Notice, and a version 
of the same in Latin elegiacs, in Denman'e 
own hand, but without any dat*. This is 
still in my own possession. At the time I 

tturalJy inferred, from the handwriting, 

it the verses were Denrann's own. Not 
lerving that they had no date (like the 
t), I printed thejn in Denman'e ' Inter- 
valla' (in 1R9B), and I am really the only 
person responsible for so doing. There is 
thus no warrant for the supposition that 
Denman in any way claimed them as his, 
although, at the beginmng of the third line 
from the end, I seem to trace his revising 
hand in the substitution of " stemere " for 
the " ducere " or " ponere " of an almost 
identical copy of this eeoond version, with 
other Blight variations. 

Mr. Arthur Denman tells me that, some 
ten years ago, he received from a son of Dr. 
Pears, Mr. H. Temple Pears, two p^ss ofa 
printed and annotated copy of this version. 
This was clearly the work of the grondiathrr 
of Mr. Tempie Pears, %-iz.. Temple Ciievallier, 
Professor of Mathematics at Durham from 
1836 to 1871. He had been Second 
Wrangler in 1817, seven years before the 
mstitulion of the Clas«icaJ Tripos, and it 
speaks well for the widn culture of the 
niathE'mati''ians of that day that he was 
capable of writing a clever jeu if Mprtl of this 
kind in I.ntin verse. I have \-ery tittle 
doubt that he sent a copy of hia two printed 
pages to his Honin-iaw, Dr. Pears, Head 
Master of Repton from I8.'.4 to 1874, and 
that Dr. Fears sent it, at an unlmown date, 
to Denman as a distinguished closi^ical 
scholar of Repton School. Before returning 
it, Denman must have copied out the tfxt 
and the version, and kept them among 
~ -tpere of a cognate kind, such as his own 



Thus we have simply two 
the some original. One of these is Dr. 
Kennedy's, published by him in ' Sabrina 
Corolla and in * Between Whiles ' : the 
other is Prof. Chevallier's, privately printed 
by him as a fly-sheet tor circulation among 
hie friends in 1843. The question of any 
other version by Edward MasHJe in no way 
concerns us, but, as an Examiner with Prof. 
Ciievallier at Durham in 1642, he may easily 
have been the medium througli which 
Chevallier's version found its way to Oxford.

PICKWICK, ORIGIN OF THE NAME i 
PICKWICK FAMILY OF BATH. 



(12 £ 



, 12, .11,

Thk following notes about the Pickwick 
family of Bath will perhaps be of interest, 
though they necessarily cover ground 
alrearly traversed to some extent by Me. 
PiERPoraT and Mb. Wainewbioht at tbo 
fourth reference, I will begin hy mentioning 
the Pickwicks who were educated at 
Winchester. 

1, William Pickwick, who, having entered 
the School as a Commoner in 1789, became 
Scholar on July 22, 1791. He is described 
1 the College Register as " de par. Lynoombe 
Wideoombe In urbe Baiarum, bapt, 
8 Aug.. 1776," and in the parish register 
which records his baptism as " son of 
Eliexar and Susanna Pickwick." In April, 
1793, he was one of thirty-six Scholars who 
left Winchester prematurely in consequence 
of a famous School rebellion, and next month 
he matriculated at Oxford, having becomo 
a member of St, John's College. Heldied 
on April 23. 1795 ; see Oentlemart'x Magaxint, 
1796, i. 411, where it is stated that he was 
his parents' only cliild, and his father ia 
styled " Mr. P. of the White Hart inn at 
Bath." The Bath inns mentioned in Gary's 
' New Itinerary ' (3rd ed., 1806). p. 12.1, are 
" W. Hart.. W. Lion, York Hotel. Lamb." 
these being the inns (see p. 837) which 
supplied post horses and carriages ; and the 
fact that " Eleaser Pikwick " was tenant in 
1 790 of the Wliite Hart at Bath, holding it of 
Samuel Bradboume, lessee of the Bath 
Corporation, ia mentioned in the Charity 
Commissioners' Fourth Report (Parlia- 
mentary Paper of 1830), p. 277. This WM 
the Eleazer Pickwick who died at Bath, in 
his 89th year, on Dec. 8. 1837 ; see a•L^^lU-

year obtained ft place on the Election Roll, 
not high enough, however, to win tor him 
admission as a Scholar. He is entered on 
the Roll of 1812 as " Gulielmus Pickwick de 
par. All Saints & St. John's Hertford, nat. 
Dec. 10, 1798." He was identical with the 
" Major W. E. Pickwick, late 8th Regiment, 
of Bathford, Somerset," who died at 
Boulogne- enr-Mer on Dec. fl, 1867, " aged 
6»"; see The Times of Dec. 12, 1867, and

propertiea of which he had become tenant 
for life under the will of his uncle Eleaser 
included Bathford Manor House, Somerset,

to these properties, he obtained a grant of

nothing in the will or the codicil, when I

either the testator or his couain Moses with 
the business ot a coach proprietor. They 
the prolix documents of a man bent on 
ing up hie properties unto the third or

'teurce of his succees in gathering wealth. A 
■mall point under the will had to be decided 
by the Court of Chancery ; see Pickwick 
Gibbea, I Bcavan's Reports, 271. whence 
one learns that the testator's wife died i 
hie lifetime, in ScpU-mber, 1835. Mj 
PiEBpoixT has already mentioned Eleazi 
Pickwick's marriage with Suf^anna Combs 
at St. Miphael'p, Bath, on Aup. 17, 1775. 

The story that a " Mosea Pickwick " wa? 
ft foundling cannot be applied to Eleazer's 
ooupin Mo=eE, nor can it be applied to the 
father of that Mones, unleen one postulates 
that, being a foundling who had bet-n dubbed 
*' Moses Kckwick," he then married into the 
Pickwick family. But Mr. Piek- 
,_ iiNT hft'i already dealt the story a knock- 
down blow. 

There are some Pickwick items in the 
Bath Abbey Registers, published by the 
Harleian Society : — 

Betty Philips, dauahtrr ot Moses and 
Sarah Pickwick, wa« christened on April 7, 
1761. (It seemB unlikely that this Moset 
was the cousin Mores of Eleazer's will.) 

John Piek^t^ek and Tamer (or Thamer) 
Wilson, both of Widccmbe, were married 
in 1773, and had daughters Ann. Jane, and 
Sarali, who were christtned respectively in 
178fi. 1789, and 1795. 

John Lanndown and Ann Pickwick were 
married by licence on Oct. 20, 1783. and 
Moses Pickwick was a witness. _

Hekry I. : A GtODCESTEB Chartfb (12 S.

paper leaves nothing to add on the date of 
the charter, and but little on Ihe names, as 



i et castelli Gloeceetrie' 



but it may be useful to point out that we 
have here members both of the Herefordshire 
Rnd the HamDshire fonUhcs of Port. Adam 
ri'- Port, a*i Mh. Swtnotrton observee, was {Urid., p. 13), 

the Lord >if Kiurton, whilst Henry de Port (c) The King directs Walter (obviotisly fal 
■S»„^_ .. ,[liig Ma^ftcity of 6h«ia\ \a '^' 



xvi. 1-13). Ot the two sons of Adam de- ^ 
Port mentioned, Roger is known as bia 
eldest son and Bucceesor ; but William, I 
believe, ia au addition to the family tree. 
His name is not in the table given by Bound 
(U.S.), which includes two other sons of 
Adajn : Hugh and Robert, who witness a 
charter of their brother Roger (I c. 1150) to 
his monks of Andwell (' C^, Doctn. Fraaoe.' 
No. 1461). 

The theory that Roger de Gloucester left 
a daughter or sister would certainly account 
for the claim of Gilbert de Minors ; but it 
would involve a worse difficulty — why, in 
that case, Roger should bo succeeded by his 
cousin Walter. 

Coin Rogers must have been granted by 
the Crown to Roger de Gloucester or bis 
father after 1086 ; otherwise Roger would 
have had no power to give it away. And as 
he could not be expected to indemnify the 
monks from his own property for land taken 
to build the king's tower, it would seem that 
he ntust have appropriated the rest of tfw 
garden for himself. When he was mortally- 
wounded, he evidently made a hurried 
attempt to save his soul by the gift of Coin : 
" in exchange tor the garden," as wo learn 
from Henry's charter ot confirmation. 
Although the latter did not pasa until 
Roger's cousin Walter was installed at 
Gloucester as castellan and sberiff, I should 
thiok it probable that it was issued hocpix 
after the gift, rather than that it was delayed 
until H09 or later. For with all deference 
to Mb. Swynnkrton, I do not think that it 
passed at the Fame time as Henry's charter 
on p. 4 of Round's ' Ancient Charters ' (No, 3). 
Compare the two : — 

I. Henry confirms Roger de Gloucester's 
gift of Coin to the monkH^" escambium de 
horto monachorum in quo turris mea sedet." 
2. '• SclatiB me dedtme W»lt'o de Gloeaatt*

Oloucester had already provided compenRa- 
tioa for the garden ; in fact, one would 
anppoBe Coin Rogers to be much more 
valuable. 

But whatever the date of Henry's charter, 
it is certainly surpriping that it was not 
produced at the trial— always supposing that 
the " quoted copy " 1b a genuine copy of a 
real charter. As to Roger's gift, there may 
liave been no time to draw up a charter 
before he died. 

It was the same Walter (not " William ")

I do not think it is necessary to go eo far 
«field as Kington in Herefordshire to explain 
the appearance of Henry de Pordt and 
Roger and William, sons of Adam de Pordt, 
as signatories to a charter dated ot Win- 
chester. The Hugh de Port who came over 
with the Conqueror " received aa the reward 
of his services no fewer than seventy lord- 
Bhips, fifty-five of which were in Hampshire "

the family ; a later Adam assiuned " the 
name of St. John in place of De Port early 
in the thirteenth century " lib., p. 15) ; 
and it was perhaps the William eon of 
Adam, mentioned in the charter, who 
*■ endowed the chantry chapel " in the church 
of St. Andrew, Sherborne, " in the twelfth

the B 



railway train with Governor Wade Hampti 
of South Carolina, who was on his way to 
Washington to ask the Federal Government 
to remove United States troops from tlie 
State House of South Carolina. At nearly 
every railway station en rotitr he was called 
upon for a speech by tho cit izens of the place, 
who had gathered to greet him. My remem-

in North Carolina to alhide to the above-

Sir Robert, who died at Keyn»bam, 
Bristol, is described by G. E. C. as 
Darland, co. Chester." But Darlond is 
the Welsh boundary in co. Denbigh, 3 miles 
N.W. by N. of Holt. Hia mdow. the 
Dowager Lady Murray (previously Elizabeth 
or Betty Pickmore, of Cliestcr), was alive ia 
1834, and residing with her eldest daughter, 
a Mrs. Coppinger. I want particul^s of 
Sir Robert's marriage and period of residence 
at Darlond. He succeeded to the baronetcy 
(subject to the attainder of 1745} June S3, 
1791. 

Wlioin did Admiral Pickmore marry, and 
where ? He was bom at Chester in 17S7, 
married cirm 178n, and was a widower when 
he became Governor of Newfoundland in 
1816. His sons died unmarried ; his only

Apart from any question of pronunciation, 
it may be observed that each of these pagan 
knights has hia name inscribed on his 
ehield. Besides, though we may demand 
that B simile should go on all fours, such a 
millipede as an allegory is bound to have 
many of its legs out of joint. And imagina- 
tive literature has long enjoyed a licence in 
the coining of proper names that shall be 
appropriate to the character. We accept 
lattlewit and Pinchwife and Backbite ; and, 
as Dickens says of Capt. Murderer in the 
nurse's story of his childhood, " liis warning 
name would seem to have awakened no 
general prejudice against him-"

Shakespeare's Walk (12 S. iv. 156). — 
This place was Alderman Shakespeare's 
Rope Walk (the name was, as usual, spelt 
very variously) ; it was the site of the 
Alderman's main business : his dwelling- 
house was among the best folks in Stepney 
Causeway ; and ho claimed descent from the 
family of William Shakespeare's father. 
Shakespeare's Walk now lies " full fathom 
five " m the Shadwell Basin of the London 
Dock — a work the construction of which 
made a large hole in the lower port of the 

garish of Shadwell, In the time mentioned 
y W. A., Shakespeare's Walk vi»a well 
known to London citizens and their ladieH 
and t-o "society" further West, becauan it 
was the direct route to the Shadwell Spa 
and iti remarkably gaudy Music, House, 
from King James's Stairs, midway along 
Wapping Wall. For fine company the 
water way to Shadwell Spa and the hlusic 
House was safer and quiet<-r than tb<-- 
devious and dubious journey along tJiorf 
eastward of the Tower m the days of " good 
Queen Anne." King James's Stairs, it m^ 
be mentioned, were named att-er Queen

The Dctch in the Thames (12 S. iii. 472 ;

was informed by Mr, John Bragg (of 

Messrs. John Bragg & Son, fiph factors and 

^iioleemen of Billingsgate Market],' that the 

■ijilcippers of the Dutch eel-boats had held 

■i^eir moorings just below London Bridge 

I (or several hundreds of years ; that their 

rigbl to those moorings was granted in 

perpetuity by King Charlps II. in recognition 

of their Ppirit in bringing their cargoes to 

London during the Great Plague : and that 

their t(nure of the moorings was subject to 

their maintaining a con»^tant intercourse 

with the City. My informant stated further 

that during the Dutch War of 1797 two of 

the boati° were scuttled by their crews at 

their moorings with a view to a compliance 

with that condition. 

Upon what evidence my iiJormant founded

however, two definite dates which 
it well serve as a direction to further

Sib Jamkb Morkat some while since flnished T, 
the sections from Ti to Tz (orrning pnrt of vol. i. 
of the (treat ' DIcHonary.' 8, a tremendoas task, 
has bem divided omont; several hands, and Mr. 
Onions, who is responsible for Su- onwards, has 
now got na far aa " gweep." 

The creaent section is well op to the standard of 
the ' Dictionary,' and particularly good in Ite 
analysis of neveral words in common use tor 
DieDtAl operations, such aa " supfioBe," " sur- 
tnlse," "Hurprisc." and " suspect," with their 
cognate forms. There are a multitude of familiar 
words also of Latin origin, snch as " supply," 
*' support," ■' Bupreme," " survive," and " sus- 
tain.' A number of technical or scientiQo words 
jtn? farmed from " aupra," the oddest of which is 
"SuprAcreat^daa," vbith i» Quoted onl? from 



Ilpylin in 1060, and is even more obsruM; tluii 
" SHpralnpanrian." 

The section illnstrates the dianpiviir.iiiee .,1 
many nouns which have been cnnqii-'r<'d in Ifar 
struggle tor existence by oinipler ttimi?. Pnr 
instance, besides "support." " auppi^il'il " und 
" supportancp " wemonce current. " Kiipplianl " 
Shakespeare uses tor " Bupplementsry." hilt it is. 
of course, much more familiar as " one wtia 
supplicatra." Here there is hardlr sdfi|iiat« 
representation of the English which transLtte* 
Oreek ubsac. " With chaplets twioed About 
your suppliant boughs " occurs ot the b*Bin ' 
ot Whitelaw's translatjrin ot the ' (EdipoB I 
In his ' Sophocles," 1882 ; and ' The SudtiHa-^ 
is tamiliar as the English title of A plAyl 
j^EschyluB. " Siippoacdly," quoted from tr 
Timea ul lOlB, is an instance of an adverb wU 
saves tn-o or more words. Here the * Ilieljoni 
is up to date, but tor " suppress," me* 
withdraw from publication and rrlraiii _ 
disclosing it, stops at IBOT and ISTl rcapecltT* 
More than one journalist eince the War began I 
written of the " Suppress Bureau." "■ Sure " is an 
interesting article which must have tdten aome 
time. " Surly " is one ol tbe worda which by 
their spelUng conceal their etymolo^. It abotild 
be " sirly," and expreasca the underdog's view 
of the manners of bis master. '' Surname." on 
the other band, has been wrongly spelt " umaine," 
as it it meant a father's name, who could gui-ss 
olfhand what " solcperg," "sullipei^" " shorpells.'* 
" symelns," and " cirploiso " meant? They art- 
all forms ot " »ur[)lice." " Surrey " and

NOTKS AND QUERIES- 



T*« Poetin,! WoTtt of Oray and Calliiw. Edited 
by AuNlin Iaiip Poole nnd Chriistopher StoDi 
(Millord. 2*. ad. ni^t.) 
This " Oxford Edition " ot two porta who both 
wpre futldlaus writers, nnd conseqUPDtly can 
togctheF be RDt into one volume of iiiodnBt« eire, 
is rcry welcome. There b no critical Introduc- 
tion, bill we find n useful note ot the chief editiooB 
and M88.,and pleowint memories ot the eighteenth 
century in the title-pages, the print, and its 
kdomments. Notm at the end give uh varianta 
on the text, ThuB Gray changed " winds " in the 
second line of the ' Elegy ' into " wind," donbtl*s8 
in view of the neit • In "slowly"; and there is i 
reading, 

In yonder grove a Drald Ilea, 
instead of " gmve," which we prefer in Collins' 
tribute to Thomson. 

The only uniiiebtly feature o( the book fs the 
omission of the Ifnpa or purls of linen Mason 
contributed to Omv's ' Ode on the Pleasure 



think, with b warning note at the bottom of the 
page aa to their authorship. 

Collins has but lilUe fame to-day eompflred with 
Gray, and w»a dfridnd by Johnson. Yet he waa 
at his N>jt BD eiqutsitc writer with a style far 
above that of most ot his contecnporsriBB. Wi 
hope this book may somewhat revive hia reputa' 
Uon. We turn with pleasum once again tn the 
(elicltlos ot his tmrimed ' Ode to Evening,' whose 
Dewy Fingere draw

Mb. pEitrHtT haa prodncpd a book full of interest. 
He begins with an arcount of the Industries 
associated with the village, and shows that 
tanning and leather-dreaBing were carried on for 
HI ccnturiis. the main street being named Fell or 
Pelt StpMit from the tetlraongera and tanners 
residing there. The handsome chureh is notable 
as having a bull's head and boms at the east end, 
and in a charter granted by Henry III. in 1253 is 
referred (o aa " Comulum Honasterium." Mr. 
Perleet provides a plan and elcvatltm o( the church, 
a list •>( ricars from HIT to the present time, and 
extract Ironi the parish registers (which begin in 
1676) sjid the ovcraeers' and poor-rate books. 

There ia much else to appeal to readers ot 
' N. & Q.' The wiudmiU, which is still a pro- 
TDineut lenturc la the landscape, tliougb its work 
ceased In 1012, is mentionnl in the will of John 
Legal in 1(107. Wrestling tor a boar's head was 
practised on Christmas Day till 186B: and the 
annual fair, with its booths and gilt gingerbread, 
■arrived till 18TT. Billet L«ne is named from 
the Crookeil Billet, a public-house sifcn which baa 
bean discussed at length in ' N. ft (J.' ; and Cage 
Bow from Ih* cage or villsKe lock-up. Two 
ccDtcmpomry accounts ot ct^flghts In liQU are 
■oppUcrd. 

Mr. JVrtect also slietchcs the btslory of the four

The Balance Shoet for the first half-year 
shows a loss on the working which is oil but 
covered by contributions to the " Continua- 
tion Fund." The loaa would have been 
much greater had not the sole of back stock 
been exceptionally good — the aid of eome 
of our friends having taken the niutually 
advantageous form of making up incomplete 
Beta, and so helping the paper. 

TJnfortunately, we cannot expect such 
sales to occur regularly, and all working 
expenses continue to increase ; the sub- 
editor too must be token into consideration, 
and tbe continuing of the work which is 
done without payment becomes more difli. 
cult. Practical help, which may take the 
form ot useful suggestions, is needed 

A copy of the Profit and I,08S Aoonunt wilt 
be forwarded to all who haw sent money in 
1918. and will also, on receipt of a atam|ted 
addressed envp|o|>o. be fv-nt to those who

NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 & iv. Bm. uuk 



Badical and proprietor of the then notorious 
Weekly Dispatch^ aay, upon the committee 
deciding against the views of the Alderman, 
' Thank God there is a House of Lords.' This is 
long before either of the cases mentioned in The 
Times of to-day." 

This letter, not dated, no doubt refers to 
Mr, MacNeiU's letter. 

Unfortunately, Mr. Wilde did not give 
the year when he heard Alderman Harmer's 
exclamation. The Houaes of Parliament 
were burnt in October, 1834, in which year 
Mr. Samuel John Wilde, bom 1820 (see 
• Men at the Bar,' by Joseph Foster, 2nd 
ed., 1885), was fourteen years old. If he 
meant that he heard the exclamation when 
he was practising as a barrister, it must 
have been after Lord Stanley's speech, 
seeing that the date of tlie speech is May 25, 
1846, and Mr. Wilde was not called to the 
bar imtil Nov. 20, 1846. If he meant, 
writing from Serjeants' Inn, that he heard 
Alderman Harmer's exclamation when he 
(Mr. Wilde) was a boy in his teens, possibly 
visiting the conunittee room with his father, 
who was a barrister, it may be presumed 
that ho would have said so. His letter is 
so lacking in precision that I think it should 
be regarded as negligible. 

I may here quote Lord Stanley's ipaissima 

verba as given in Hansard, 3rd series, 

vol. Ixxxvi. col. 1176: — 

" Your best reward, mv Lords, will be the 
approval of your own consaenoes ; but doubt not 
that you wUl have a farther reward in the 
approbation of a g^teful and admiring nation, to 
wluch you will have given Just cause to exclaim, 
' Thank Ood, we have a House of Lords.* "— 
Debate on the Com Importation Bill. 

This was the peroration of a three hours* 
speech. Pabnerston told Gre\Tlle that it 
was far the best speech that Stanlev ever 
made, and that nobody could make a better. 
Lord Lansdowne told somebody that it was 
the finest speech that he ever heard in 
Parliament. See * Greville Memoirs,* 2nd 
part, vol. ii. p. 395. 

That Lord Stanley (later 14th Earl of 
Derby), who had been raised to the peera«;e 
in 1844 as Lord Stanley of Bickerstaf^, 
invented the saying in this speech cannot be 
maintained. 

In The Edinburgh Review of July, 1836 
(all but ten years before the speech, and 
when Wilde was aged sixteen), vol. Ixiii. 
p. 375, .9.V. * Correspondence relating to the 
Slave Trade,' is the following : — 

" Did not the beginning of this century witness 

the avowed hostility of their opponents r— and at 

the end of the last were not the abolitionists called 

levellers and anarchists? Let xm take, as an 

/nsUnce, BosweU, a mmn probably not behiDd the 



current humanity of hi^ age, whot after oan- 
demning the wild and dangerous attempt of 
abolishing the slave trade, ascribing the advoeacy 
of it to a love either of temporary popularity or 
of general mischief, then m bu imbecile en- 
thusiasm thaaks God that there was a Houae of 
Lords wise and independent enough to stand up 
for a traffic which God had sancti^ed and man 
continued (Boswcll's ' life of Johnson.* vol. viL 
p. 23, 1836)." 

In the 1822 edition the reference is voL UL 
p. 207, or generally near the end of Johnson 
cetat. 68, year 1777. The assertion that 
Boswell thanked God that there was a 
House of Ix)rds, &c., is merely the re v iewer's 
interpretation of BoswelFs sentiment. What 
Boswell writes about the House of Lords 
at the references given, after protesting in 
strong words (some of which are quoted b^ 
the Edinburgh reviewer) against tne aboli- 
tion of the slave trade, is simply : — 

" Whatever may have passed elsewhere etm- 
ccming it [the slave trade], the House of Lords 
is wise and independent : 

Intaminatis fulget honoribust 
Nee sumit aut ponit secures 
Arbitrio popularis aure.** 

In the article in The Edinburgh Revieio 
there is nothing to mark the saying *' Thank 
Qod,'* ^c, as a quotation — nothing to ^ow 
that it was not the invention of the reviewer^ 
published in July, 1836.

(See 10 S. ix. 144 ; 12 S. iii. 53.) 

So much of interest attaches to the hygpoB 
owners of Markshall, Essex, that pexliapB I 
may be allowed to add the foUowmg to the 
notes that have already appeared. 

The Honiwoods* were Lords of the 
Cincjue Ports, and, according to Hasted's 
* History of Kent,' two fammes descended 
from John Honiwood of Hunwood, vie., 
John his heir, the progenitor of the line of 
baronets ; and Robcnrt, thQ ancestor of the 
family of Charing (Kent) and MArfnt|>^ 
(Essex). The latter, who died in I076« 
naarried Mary, daughter of John Waten of 
Lenham (later celebrated for the number of 
her descendants). Their son and heir 
(another Robert, bom 1645, died 1027) was 
twice married : first, to Dorothy Crook, hy

To return to Robert Honywood, who 
purchased Markeball in 1605: it will be 
remembered that his " son and beir Sir 
Robert waa of Charins in Kent," whei« he 
was knight of the aliire from 1601. He 
married Ahce, daught«r of Sir Hartin 
Barham, and had a family of twenty children. 
Of theee, Isaac was killed at the siege of 
Maestricht ; Benedict fought as a captain 
in the Low Countries ; and Philip (baptized 
at Charing on Jan. 2, 1617, as the ninth 
son and fourteentii (jiild of his parents) 
served and was knighted in the Boyalist 
army. *Ee was appointed Commander-in- 
Chief of the forces at Portsmouth in 1662 ; 
was promot«d lieutenant- Governor of that 
town on July 14, 1666 ; purchased the 
estate of Pett in Charing of hia brother 
Bir Robert in 1673 ; and was there buried on 
Jan. 6, 1684/fi. 

"Bir Robert Honywood [b. 1601, d. 1066], 
being of a military disposition, spent many years 
abroad in the wan ot Ihe Palatinate, In the rank 
of a colonel, and was one of those gallant English 
T<}lunteGrB that eapoueed the lnt«Teats ot Frederick, 
King of Bohemia, and a great part ot his patrimony 
was sacrificed in that service." 
Knighted, as steward of the Queen of 
Bohemia, 1625, member of Council of State 
16Sfl, he went on an embassy to Sweden, 
and in 1673 translated Battista Nani'a 
* History of the Affairs of Europe.' 

His wife was Fiances, dai^ter of Sir 
Henn^ Fane (Treasurer of the Hous^old of 
Charles I.), and the mother of his sixteen 
children. Of theee, CSiarlee Lodwick served 
tmder his uncle Sir Philip Honywood at 
Fortemouth as a captain, and, with hia wife 
Fricilla, baptized Sve sons in that town, 
viz., Charles, bom 166fi ; Robert, 1670 ; 
James, 1672 ; Charles, and Philip. 

The Iast-m«itioned became the well- 
known East Anglian hero Qenerfll Sir Philip 
Honywood, whose youthful exploits stiU 
form the theme of fireside tales. He was 
commisaioned ened^ in Col. StwjJey'a 
Regiment of Foot in, June, 1604, and was 
present at the siese' of Ifamur in 1605. 
Appointed captain in the E^ of Huntina- 
don's newly raited regiment of foot m 
Idarch, 1702, he became oolooel of Roger 
Townsfaend's Regiment on H^ 27, 1709, 
and shared in it« aufferingi at the si^e of 



Douay in 1710. Soon aft^wards he mm 
deprived of his regiment for drinking at • 
dinner in Flanders the toast : " Danmotun 
and confusion to the new Ministry, and to 
those who had any band in tuning out th« 
old.' ' 

In 1715 he was formven, and contmiBrioned 
to raise a troop of horse in Essex and 
Chelmsford. Thewammtwaadated J^^SS* 
1715. (This regiment, then known a> Bony- 
wood's Drogoona, is now the lUh Huasais.) 
In 1719 be commanded a brigade in the 
expedition against Spain, took iniwiiiiiiii 
of the town of Vigo, was appointed ro^or- - 
! general in 1726, naade K.B. for his oninent 
' services, and was appointed OovenKMF of 
I Portsmouth in Uay, I7«). He died at 
I Blackheath, June 17. 1762, and by • will,

Deux Sous, from his favourite emr oae i ona, 
** Not worth twopence " and " I aoii't oaze 
twopence/' links him up with the flpraat 
Duke of Wellington, whose eroiesskm, '^^ot 
worth a twopenny dam " will be foond in 
vol. i. of the ' Wellington Despatdies,* in 
a letter from the then C6L. WeLbsak^ to his 
brother the Govemor-QeneraL The dam ** 
was a smaU silver Indian coin, now oat of 
circulation, though the phrase is eurreni 
in oufp language. " Not wozth a dMn," 
or *' I don't care a dam," would &pptKt to 
come from this source. The eaqneesion is 
sometimes considered objectionable and 
spelt " daxnn," and Lofd Beresfoid, using 
the expression recently in the Upper House, 
was received with Im^ter, the idea evi- 
dently being that he had brougibt a naofi^ty 
swear-word with him from the quarter- 
deck and eiploded it in ibe House. The 
Right Hon. O. W. £. Bussell in his de* 
lightful ' BecoUecUons ' also " damns " the 
expression, but I hold unjustly; for a 
"damn" hardly denotes what is of little 
worth or consequence. But I am now 
eighty years of age, and abroad, and my 
memory and reference libranr are bola 
limited. Still, the- opinion is advanced tfaftt 
the expression "Not worth a dam," equi- 
valent to twopence, and akin to " Not worth 
a rap," a small Swiss coin, also no logger 
current, is perf ecthr innocent and proper* 
and need not shook the susceptibilities of 
even the most scrupulous and virtaom of 
old ladies. That, however, some of them 
are rather particular on the sub jeot appeara 
from a recorded instance of an ola lad^l^ 
who declined to sign a contraet for tlis 
construction of a dam on a w at creo u raa on

Cleaveulnd on the Eably History or 
AMTllxkry. — Writers on early ordnance 
England and on other early artillery matters 
frequently refer to tlie so-called ' Notes on 
tha Early History of the Royal Regiment of 
ArtHle^ ' collected by Col. Samuel Cleave- 
land. It is only right to give a warning to 
pdrsOQS who may oonsult them. 

Tlese ■ Notes ' ore published by the Royal 
Artillery Institution, Woolwich, and cover 
M period of 630 years — 1267 to 1T97. The 
title is misleading. becau.io the Royal Regi- 
ment of Artillery did not n>mo into existence 
until ITie. It should be ' NoU'6 on Matters 
eonoomiog the History of Artillery.' 

Having examined severtd of the original 
»iaaUM>npts referred to in these " Notes," I 
id errors in almost every line, and do not

be found ot the Pubhc Record Office in

p. 21). It runs: "Do by these present 
constitute and appoint you to be Colonel of 
our Royal Regiment of Artillery now' under 
your command." This appointment was 
the renewal, at the accesf^ion of George IT., 
of an eorlier warrant* of AprU 1. 1722 (War 
Office Records. Ordnance, Class bH, No. 483, I 
p. 50), appointing Borgard to be " Colonel I 
of His Majesty's Royal Regiment of I 
Artillery." I do not think that he was ever | 
appointed " Colonel Commandant." No 
warrant of eiioh appointment is known to 
exist. Tlie rank of Colonel is quite distinct 
from that of Colonel Commandant.

In 1784 '■ A Constant Reader" calls 
attention in The Genllemtm'a Magiame 
(April, 1784) to a large piece of old tapestry

Harp Allfy. which waa supposed to represent 
the triumphniit entrj- into London of one of its 
Bovereigns, probably Henry Vli. alter the battle 
of Boawortb." 

The subject of this piece of tapestry (10 ft. 
by 16 ft. or eo) proved to be (from the old 
Fi«nch inscriptions upon it) the history of 
Gaman and Mordecai.

Lascar, a Native Mercantile Seaman. — 
Though at first sight there would soem to be 
no connexion between these two specific 
terms, careful inquiry will, I think, sstabtisli 
the fact that they possess a conmion oi~ 

Yule and Bumelrs ' Hobson-Jobaon 
rives the name Lascar from Pers. lot). 
a camp or army, whence comes Pars. 
icari, a soldier. In the sense of oamp 
army, Gwalior, the city of Central India, still 
retains its alternative appellation, Tjmliln>.r ; 
see Longman's ' GaEctteer,' a.v. Portu- 
guese writers in the sixteenth century 
adopted the word in the forma UMqxtarin, 
lascari, lagcar, under wliich style Uielr 
Indian, Abyssinian, and Negro levies soon 
became known ; and in Ceylon the wocd 
■■ lascareen " was in use as late as tbo 
nineteenth century for a native i>()hcemaii- 

In India " Lascar " lias changed lis 
meaning for the most part, and lias come to 
signify an artilleryman of inferior grade, 
a tent-pitcher, and. at the coast porta, a 
sailor. Except in tliis last sensp. whiob haa 
taken root m the £nghsh language to 
typify native Indian, or more coi " """ 
Malay, seamen serving on board 
ships, the word haa got oonfouadMl 
Anglo-Indian with khalem, whicli In 
syncopated form " classy " has mvih 
same meaning, viz., camp -follower or ecrvaat. 

It was formerly very generally believed 
that the Persian noun was a derivative 
from Arabic aTmkar ; but more recently 
the contrary view has obtain«! that Arab, 
rultar, an army, is nothing but a loan-word 
from tlie Persian.

From the distinction hero drawn i think 
it safe to condurte that, through thf Portu- 
guese, Dutch, and English use of t)^ word, 
" Lascari " or " Laecarit," denoting a sepoy, 
would easily be tnmcatcd intn " A.=fciiri."

BmoGS OP VmoiNiA, 1622. — In going 
through the munerous volumes of ' N. & Q. 
in our Cbngressional Library at Washin^on 
I found several references to the Briggs 
family. 

I am interest'Od in finding^ the ancestry 
of a Henry Briggs wHo was in Virginia in 
1622, and had at that date a brother Thomas 
Briggs, a merchant " at ye Custome House 
Key in London." 

I do not know whether this Henry^ was 
any connexion of Henry the mathematician, 
who was a member of the London- Company 
of Virginia, and wrote a tract on the 
width of the James River for the €k>vemor 
of Virginia (Earl of Southampton). I have 
failed to find any record that Henry the 
mathematician married. He died 1630 at 
Merton College, and is buried there. I shaU 
be glad of any fiurther information.

ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN: 
THEIR ALIGNMENT. 

(12 S. iv. 216.) 

Mb.' C. R. Moobb inquires how the Romans 
succeeded in securing so correct an align- 
ment of their straight roadways — ^how, for 
instemce, they were able to lay out the 
Fosse from near the Dorset coast, through 
Bath and Cirencester, to Lincoln, with 
hardly any serious deviation from the 
straight line for upwards of 200 miles. 
The problem is really a double one. f^t, 
if the Romans wished to lead a road direct 
from, say, Axminster to Lincoln, how did 
they know the general direction to be 
followed 7 Secondly, how, after ascertaining 
the general direction, were th^ able to keep 
a straight line on each smgle section, from 
A x min ster to Bath, from Bath to Cirencester, 
^nd tibeaoe on to Leioeetex and to lincohi 7 



(a) The second problem is comparatiTely 
easy. The Romans, as has often been 
noticed, seem to have chosen far-seen hill- 
tops, and to have laid their lines by these. 
For instcmce, a Roman road -ran from 
Corbridge on Tyne in South Northumberland 
to nearEdinburgh, and its line can be traced 
to-day fairly closely. The northern i>art 
of this line was directed by the Eildon hills, 
which are clearly visible as you come over 
the Cheviot watershed near Coquethead; 
and any one who traces the road thence 
towards Melrose sees the Eildon summits 
on the horizon before him for miles together. 
Surveyors, using columns of smoke from 
fires lighted on appropriate hills, could 
easily have stidced out the line, which then 
the roadmakers would follow. Perhaps it 
wcM a slow process, but then the main 
difference between ancient and^ modem 
civilization is that we C€ui do rapidly what 
the Romans did very slowly, but equally 
well. It was quite as easy in the dem of 
the Roman Empire to joux^ey from Rome 
to London as it is now (in normal peace- 
time), but it was a far more lengthy business. 
Similarly, I imagine the Romans shaved 
as clean as we do, but presumably Hiey 
needed more time than we do with up-to- 
date razors. And in Roman days, when 
time mattered far less than now, there was 
no difficulty in laying out a line from hill- 
top to hill-top, even without a oomjMtfs. 
Hiat roads were thus laid out is, I think, 
plain from the fact that, where a road runs, 
straight through hill^ country, its devia- 
tions troia the true Ime occur between two 
hill-tops. Several examples of this can 
be seen on the Fosse Way between Bath 
and Cirencester. The siurveyora first fixed 
the line along the successive summits; the 
roadmakers then worked ** from point to 
point." 

(b) The other problem is less easy to 
solve — ^the problem, namely, how the 
Romans knew how to start from Exeter 
N.E., and not only to reach Bath and 
Cirencester, but also to get to Lbiooln* 
For it is plain that Lincoln was the objective. 
The road was not merely a way driven at a 
venture into the N.E., as to which it did 
not matter whether it reached lincohi or 
only got near to it. Sometimes, maybe, 
the Romans acted like a golf -player, driving 
towards the green, and then putting fay 
short adjustments into the predsenoleu 
But they also used the stars. On the ao- 
called " Limes," or Roman frontkor againai 
Qermany, one long section runs nM^ dna 
N. and S. afanost absolutely true lor the

NOTtS AND QUERIES. 



^^^ • Eaa 



Polar Star (see, for instaitoe, the map in the 
* Essays in Roman History ' of the Iat« 
Prof. Pelham). Thia must have been, for 
many miles, laid out by the Polar Star. 
Ko astronomer, so far as I know, has ever 
Dut^gested that tho Fosse runs true for any 
tixod star ; nor, if such a star existed, would 
it be clear how the Romans knew that, by 
following its guidauce, they would attain 
to Lincohi. One must auppose that they 
had mapK of Britain which showed that a 
Una N.E. from Exeter, through Honiton to 
Ilohe8t«r and Bath, would run into Ciren- 
cester, and thunce straight onward to 
Leioeeter, and so to Lincoln. There is no 
difficulty in thinking that they had suoh 
maps, and, if they had, no difficulty would 

E resent itself in the way of their getting 
rom point to point. Once it was plain 
that the route lay from Bath through 
dronoeBter and Leicester, smoke -columns 
and stars would do the roat. 

If Mr. Moobe wishes to know the courses 
ot the Roman roads in Britain, he will 
do best to examine the Ordnance Survey 
maps, which mark those roads, and which, 
if •ometimea wrong, are very olten correct — 
wliioh is as much as can be said of any 
book on the subject that I know.

Ms. WiTNDBAH HuLHE in his interesting 
npbf asks " whetlior the portrait of Prince 
Arthur in Great Malvern Priory emanated 
trata the same atelier as the oorres[)onding 
' portrait at St. Margaret's, Westminster. 
The answer is emphatically in the negative. 
Tbo glass* (inflBTted 1501-2) in tho north 
xrindow of the north transept in Great 
Halvem Priory is typically En^iah in every 
Mnpeet, and shows no trace of foreign 
ioffuHice. It bears no resemblance to the 
rich but somewhat coarse workmanship 
diapLayod in the «'ast window of St. Mat- 
gamt'e, Westminster. In its original con- 
dition the Malvern window depicted the 
Uagniflcat (as illustrated by several ind- 
deoAa \a tho life of the Blessed Virgin), 
' with large figures of three eiiih- 



heavenly ^^H 
1 remains. ^

together with panels representing tht Viaito.

Design in Fainted Glass," vol. iv.}. Nativity,

Harrowing of Hell, Ascension, and Corona- 
tion {the last three imperfect), together 
with reoognisable fragments of Lite Ajuiun- 
ciation, Adoration, f^sentation, and Fall 
of the Rebel Angels. 

It should be pointed out that the portrait 
of Prince Arthur was only one of a series. 
The window also contained Qgures of King 
Henry VII. and Queen Ehzabelh of York, 
treated in a similar manner. All three 
figures knelt in the attitude of prayer before 
richly draped desks upnn which lay open 
books. They were surmounted by sump- 
tuous canopies of state, and surroun<lod by 
white-robea angels playing musical irtstru- 
ments. There were also figures of Sir 
Reginald Bray (illustrated in vol. iv, of 
Westlake's 'History'), Sir John Savage^ 
and Sir Thomas Lovell, shown as kneeling at 
desks agsinst a richly striped, damasked 
background, and surrounded by a frame of 
architectural character.* 

The identity of the " companion portrait 
of Prince Arthur " at St. Margaret's. Wert- 
ininster, has been fully discussed both by 
Mr. WeatlakB and by Mr. Winston. The 
arguments of the latter are quoted (it 
I mistake not) as a lengthy foot-note m 
vol. iv. of the ■ History of Di-sign in P»int<^ 
Glass.' Both those exptrts come to the 
same conclusion — that the glass was not 
paiiit«d abroad, and tliat the figure in 
question represent*ii. not Prinoe Arthur, 
but King Henry VTII. as a youn^ man. 

It is usually cWmed that this finu glass 
was presented by the magistrates of Dort, 
or Gouda, to Henry VII. for his new ohi^ol. 
in coTnmemoration of the marriage brtw*>oo 
Prince Artlmr and Kathpjine of Aragon. 
It woiild be interesting to know whether 
there is aty documenfary rvtdmeo for the 
story. The chapel had not betm oom- 
menced when the marriagi- took nlace. 
Whether a window of thii si» eould bd 
designed and painted for a non-fl»:i«t«Dt 
building is a problem that I rotist Inavs 
fur others U) solve.

Dessdj'b Hotel, Caiais (12 S. iv. 187).— 
In reply U> T. F. D.'s inquiry, I learn from 
the British Consul Bt CoJais, Mr. H. A. 
Bicbarde, that tlie original H6t«l Dessin 
[□ot DesEein) was sold in 1S61, vrhen it 
ceased to be a hotel, the Calais College 
being built on part of tho ground. Tho 
hotel wft3 then transferred to the Rue de 
rAmiral Courbet, and continued there aa 
a hotel until 18D0. The Dcsein family still 
reeide there. 

The Bon of the last Dessin to live in the 
old hotel tould not say when that building 
was actually pulled down. He ,did not 
think that the building had ever been a 
chateau, although ite appearance would 
probably give rise to this idea, It is 
mentioned in ' Annals and Legends of 
Calais ' (a work published in London in 
1852J as " perhaps the moat perfect example 
of a chdleau-like hostelrie, embof-omed in 
flowers, foliage, and tranquillity, ever en- 
countered in the midst of a town." 

H. AusTET Lee.

Some information about this house is 
given by Prof. Wilbur L. Cross in his ' Life 
and Times of Laurence Sterne,' chap, i 

" Bumed out in 1770, DesBcIn buUt

8th edition of ' Murray's Handbook for

ferwd upon Gilbert the wbole of the lands 
in the valley of tlie rivPr Kent which liad 
not formed part of the barony of his wife's 
(alhor and grandfather. This acceesion of 
territory was to be held of the lung in chief 
fcy the service of one knight. The landa of 
tno barony in Lancashire were held of the 
lord of the lionor of lAncaster by the 
service of one luiicht ; and all the remainder 
of the baronial lands in the districta of 
Kendal and Lonsdale were held, as thev had 
previously been held, of the areat Yorkshire 
Dorony of Mowbray (' Rod Book of the 
Excheqner,' Bolls Serioe, i. 420). The entry 
in the last-named record (p. 444), B.t. ' Lan- 
caotria.' misled Mr. J. P. Yeatman into 
supposing that it formed part of the 11C6 
retuma of the " carte baronum." Mr. 
Bubert Hall, the editor of the ■ Red Book 
of the Exchequer,' is careful to point out in 
a foot-not* that the return relating to the 
knights' fees of Gilbert Fttz-Beinfrid in 
" Westmerlando " and " Kendalc " is a later 
insertion in the original MS. Of the two 
knights' fees there mentioned, one fee 
represented the service due for the lands in 
W^estmorland and Kendale, formerly held 
of the Mowbray tee, and the other the aervioe 
to be rendered for the lands in the valley 
of the river Kent granted to Gdbert in 
1100, which had not formed any part of 
the barony of his wife's predeceneon*.

First Khaki-ciad Figures in Stained- 
Glabs Windows (12 S. iv. 214).— U the 
window at Willingale Doe was not erectad 
till June, 1918, then it certainly is not the 
fir^t nor even the second instance of a 
khaki figure in stained glass. A window, 
a photograph of which appeared in The 
Graphic for Aug. 31, was dedicated in 
Caanock Parish Cliurch on the eve bpfore 
Good Friday last, viz., March 28, in memory 
of my son Charles Edward Holden Loxton. 
Nearly all the figures in it are in khaki. 

I should like to add that, although there 
are hut two atotned-glass windows as yet 
in this church, both are endeavours to 
express a new idea as to what stained glass 
in church windows should be. Both are 
designed as parts of a general scheme for 
Btained-glaaa decoration, and this one, the 
work of Mr. Reginald E. Frampton, being 
the east window of the south aisle, and so 
the last before the rood-screen and chancel 
are reached, ia a symbol of the completion 
of the Christian life, and the last act or 
FoGility here. It is Holy Communion on the 
battle-field. C. A. LoxTOS.

Gabcilaso de la Vega (12 S. iv. 132). — 
The * Diccionario Encidopedico Hispano- 
Americfiino ' includes several members of 
this family under various dates, the earliest 
being a favourite of Alphonso XI. of CckstUe, 
who died in 1328 ; it explains the surname 
as resulting from a combination of two 
personal names, Garcia (not Garcias) and 
Laso, so that the spelling Garcilasso is 
clearly wrong. The same compendium 
indexes Lope de Vega Carpio under Vega. 
As El Inca's name appears to belong to the 
ffome category as Bemardin de St. Pierre, 
Houget de Uale, Balfour of Burleigih, &c» I 



should certainly prefer the arrangement of 
the Spanish encyclopsBdia and Meyer's 
* Konversations-Lexicon ' to that of * The

Yoimg inquisitive people when suddenly

or sister naturally ask the question, '' Where 

did it come from ? " The stock reply to 

ihjB query varies in different places. The 

answer in most common use appears to be 

" From the parsley bed.*' One of a more 

elaborate form is, "The doctor dug it up 

with a golden spade under the gooseberry 

bush.|' Of this the currant bush is an 

occasional variant. In certain parts of the 

Continent storks are credited with bringing 

the babies. Swift evidentl^r refers to the

Certain up-to-date children, products of

apparently very different ideas from the 
foregoing, for amongst some ''howlers"

Two children, on being awakened one 
morning and informed of the advent of a 
new brother, were keen to know whence and 
how he arrived. " It must have been the 
milkman,** said the girl. " Why the milk-

years ago, an official presented me with a 
copy of the ^Planta da Velha-CSdade de 
Qoa * (published by the Dlre^cfto das Obraa 
Publicas, 24 de Agosto, 1910). This plan 
has a long list of buildings in Old Goa aa it

among these. . L. L. E[.

(12 S. iv. 158).— The glass vessel deeeribed 
m the query is a form of water barooneter, 
and when kept in an even temperature is a 
reliable indicator of the rise or lall of 
barometric pressure. It should be ohaiged 
with water, at a time when the monmry 
barometer stands fairly hiu^ by immendng 
the whole thing in a micket dt water and 
allowing the air to bubble out of the kmg

consequence, for in a week or two the

think it g)rob^Ie, therefore, that " Straits -

" Strait^nian " was a filing vessel that

"YouEs TO A cikdeb" (12 S. iv. 189, 
228).— An Indian officer told me recently 
that he hod a letter about twenty year* 
ago with this ttrnoination, evidently im- 
plying the intense heat of the day on which 
the letter was written to him. 

The Rising Sim murder, which took place 
about seven years ago, created mucb 
excitement at the time. A postcard had 
been written to a girl saying, 'Meet me at 
fhere a picture of a rising stm] " at a specified 
time, and signed "Yours to a cinder," 
This wae the only clue to the murder, and 
an arrest was made on it, but the triak 
resulted in a dipmissal of the suspect. 
I believe the Rising Sun is a publio-hotiae 
somewhere in or near Tottenham Court 
Road. G. 8. 8. 

Has it not been euimised that " Youra

of its being the custom to put into its hands 
a small bird to kill. 

I have never heard of the superstition as 
to the cruelty of boys born in May, referred 
to in Mb. Page's reply ; but Whit Sunday 
so commonly occurs in May that it seems 
possible there may be some link between 
the two superstitions. G. E. Clarke. 

Sir John Wfluam Kaye (12 S. iv. 189).—, 

Tlie lines quoted by W. B. H. seem to be a 

^nslation or paraplirase of the well-known 

French sonnet : —

Ii*un a lon^mps de fleurs les tempes couronn^es,

"Whiskey," a Carriage (12 S. iv. 217).

Laying a Ghost (12 S. iii. 604; iv. 31, 
135, 200). — The Bishop of Zanzibar, 1 
believe, is of opinion that, among the un- 
civilized races where Christicuiity has not 
pjenctrated, demoniacal possession still per- 
sists. I have understood that he claims to 
have exorcised demons when the local 
exorcists or magicians (or medicine men) 
have not been able to do so. What form of 
exorcism he employs I have not heard.

Prudentius : Title-Page of 1626 Edi- 
tion Wanted (12 S. iv. 190)J — I cannot 
trace in the bibliographies any edition of 
1626. Can this date simplv mean that the 
copy was then bought by some one ? 
The first edition appeared in 1472 at 
Deventor, wliile there were at least two 
other editions issued before 1626 — ^those of 
Giselin at Antwerp in 1664, and of Weitz 
at Hanover in 1613 (and also 16mo at 
Amsterdam in 1681). "[Diat put forth in 
1667 by N. Heinsius at Amsterdam seems 
tq^be the ordinary edition; there are alao 



a "Delphin** edition of 1687, and several 
others later. The 1631 edition seems to 
be the only one in small *' format.**

Thodob ' The Fair Maid of the Exchange '

does not appmr on the title-page of the 
early quarto. Aa early as the seventeenth 
ooDttiry a tloubt oh to his responsibility (or 
"■B pirn was PxprraRed by Langbaine, who 

— rfced that its " stylo or (economy" does 
" nwmble the r>»t of his labotm,"

might well have been written by Kyd ; 
and the text throughout displays an over- 
strained vigour of ekpreasion and pre- 
dilection for lurid phrases recalling tho 
school of Feele, Oreene, and Lodge. 
" Anatomize the bowels of thv absiu^tiefl," 
" ebon night," " Diana's milk-wliite veil," 
" Adonis' play-pheere," " love'a aoaldin 
stream," " labyrmth of love," "the cartful 
thoughts that hantmer in my brain," aru 
much more suggestii'o of theae pre- 
Shaltespeareans than of Heywood. Fleay 
attributes the play to Lewia hlaehiu. Sir 
Adolphua Ward, though ho is not prepared 
to accept tlus Ruggestion, " cannot persuade 
himself that Heywood was its author," 
and ' T)ie Cambridge History of EngUah 
Literature ' accordingly excludes it Irom 
the Heywood canon, and puts it amonx the 
plays " ascribed to " Heywood. Prof, 
Sohelling, Uke most other modern criticis is 
also disposed to rej eet it , f loclaring t list 
" the att«mpts at poetry where poetry is 
out of place, which occur in Uie verj- first 
scene as well as elsewhere, are particularly 
unlike the unaffected genius " of Heywood, 

I must admit that on a cursory examina- 
tion of ihe^lay I concluded without hr«ita- 
tion tliat Heywood coulil not have written 
it, and I wasted a good d<.Al of time tn an 
imsucces&ful endeavour to find a likely 
candidate for its authorsliip among the 
playwrights of the close of the Bixit>enth 
oentnry. Had I at first thoroughly ac- 
quainted myself with Heywood's work, and 
compared its vocabulary and phrasing with 
his instead of those o( other mon, I should 
have discovered tltnl, in -pif of it' 
departures from his normal rapihoda, hia 
title to it was imimpeoc habit. This shows 
the danger of judging from impr«Rion«- 
It is not safe to rely upon an ai^quaintance 
with the normal characrtpristtcs of a writw's 
ityle when- his claim to the authorship of a 
doubtful work is in qiirstion. If wa start 
with an idea of an author's powers bawd 
upon the dominant qiiaUtifs of his work — 
— of the bulk of his work now extant — 
_ are liable to go completely aatray. If 
we insist upon the pre-eminently " pastoral " 
quality of Peel*"ii plays, we shall oo\-er Gad 
his hand in ' The BfttUe g£ AIcmV ' "

NOTES AND QUEIVES. [12 a iv. oot., i»ia 



• Alphonsus, Emperor of Germany.' If 
Webster is always to bo regarded as the 
" terrible " Webster, we camiot contem- 
plate him as a possible claimant to the comic 
underplot of ' The Fair Maid of the Inn.' 
Similarly, if all Heywood*s work is pitched 
in a minor key, if he is a " prose Shake- 
Rpeare " who never penned a vivid phrase 
nor aimed at violent effects, then * The 
Fair Maid of the Exchange ' cannot be his. 
J. A. Symonds affirms that " Heywood's lan- 
guage is never high-flown or bombastic.'"^ 
As a description of all but a small fraction of 
lus work, this is true. But " never " is a 
dangerous word. The fact is that Hejrwood 
could, when he chose, bombast out a blank 
verse with the best : — 

Help me to tear off thifl infernal shirt 

Which raws me where it oleaves, unskin my 

brawns. 
And like one nak*t, rolled In a tnn of spikes. 
Of thousands make one universal wound. 

... .pluck, tear, rend 
Though you my bones leave naked, and my flesh. 
Frying yiith poison, you cast hence ^ dogs. 
Drea^l Neptune, let me plunge me in thy seas. 
To cool my body that is aU In flame. 

....unhand me, Lords, 
Let me spurn mountains down, and tc^ar up rocks, 
Hend bv the roots huge oaks, till I have digg'd 
A way to hell, or found A scale to heaven. 

These lines are not Peele'st nor Greene's, 
nor Marlowe's ; they are by the author of 
' The English Traveller ' and ' A Woman 
Idll'd with Kindness.' t If Hejrwood can 
write in a fashion so forei^ to his ordinary 
method as he does here, is there anything 
in the style of ' The Fair Maid of the £z- 
chcmge ' that need raise a doubt of his 
authorship ? 

There is another point to be noted bear- 
ing on the presence in this play of words 
and modes of expression remmiscent of 
Heywood's forerunners in the drama. 
Though few writers of the time are freer 
from the guilt of literary petty larceny, 
there can be no doubt that he was an 
attentive student of the earlier dramAy 
and there are more than a few traces of its 
influence upon his vocabulary. Thus we 
And him using such phrases as '* kill my 
heart" (* 1 Edward IV.,^ 83, «2Ed.IV.,' 151); 
" short tale to make '* (' Ghalleiige for 
Beauty,' 36); "buy with our Uood " 
(' Golden Age,' 9) ; " marching hiiherward "

them, occurred in any one play, and that 
play could with any plauaibihty be assigned 
to the earlier years of the last decade of 
the sixteenth century, they would justly 
raise a very strong presumption of IreeleiB 
authorship. But Heywood shows little ten- 
dency to make use of stereotyped phrases^ 
and these occ€isional resusoitationsy most of 
which appear only once in an exceptionally 
large bulk of dramatic writing, merely pfove 
that Heywood was well acquainted with 
Poele's work, and that some of Peele's 
phrases lingered in his mind. Whoa* there*

wood be expected to produce If for oooe he

satisfv the demand of the pubuo for ** stroog 
lines ' and lofty flights of poetry T 

To show that 'The Fair Maid of the 
Exchange' might have been written hy 
Heywood is not to prove that it Is hls» but 
it seemed to be advisable to lav some 
em^^iasis on the point that Its unifkeness 
to the general run of his plays Is no snflknenfe 
reason for rejecting his adbhorship. When 
we come to examme this comeG^ doaely 
we shall find that there is no reason at all* 
for the marks of Haywood's vooaibnlaiy 
are a|>parent throughout the pieoe froiB 
beginning to end ; wnile* so far as its prase 
scenes- are concerned^ ^they aie so un- 
mistakably in the same vem as the pvoae 
of Heywood's other pla^ that had tbey 
not been found in association with vena 
not easily^ recognizable as bis, it Is sale to 
say that it would never have ooeoxfad to 
anybody to question their oiigia.

NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 b. iv. Oct., wis. 



back to Orton, a Kinnll mnrkot town about two 
miles west of Little A*shby. The rebells had no 
time but to go above a mile out of the road, which 
was a p^ent help to the cotmtry. for they plundered 
all before them, nnd took p11 the horses, nay, com, 
or anything else they could meet with. There is 
a farm of my Lord JBarkshire's at a place called 
Foresthnll that had neither hay nor com left. 
And all the towns on the road are in the same 
condition. They took seveml prisoners at 
Kendall, and tyed their hands behina their backs, 
and some of 'ein two and two together, and brot 
*em all along with them. The poor people at 
Shapp, Trimby, Little StrickUind, &c., has not so 
much as a little bread left. . . . 

Six of us stood under a wall about 300 yards of 
*em all day long on Tuesday to see their march. 
About two" o'clock they happened to see us, and 
some of 'em fired at us, and away we pan, and 
they after up. We all got into a Pigeon cot of 
Mr. Webster's, and they came within 40 yards of 
the place, but never suspected we were there, 
and so we escaped. 

I had sent a man to Kendall on Sunday, and 
ordered him to bring us certain news where thQ 
King's forces lay. Just as I got home he came 
in, and told me he had been their gtiide nil over 
the fell to within a mile of Shapp, but he believed 
they would either stay on ye fell nil night, or 
march to Orion. I went to Appleby to acquaint 
the General there ; but before tne messenger came 
back I received a warrant from Mr. Hazell to 
give notice to all the petty const^^bles to summon 
the coimtry people to provide horses, hay, carts, 
straw, AtC.,* and all victualls they could possibly 
make ready against the Duke*8 army came down 
to Shapp. This put us all into great spirits, and 
every one strove who should get there first to 
throw in their mit<>. Between twelve and one we 
had the pleasure of seeing the Duke and his fine 
a nay, and there was a ver>- good return for bread 
and cheese and small beer. The officers smiled at 
the cheese, and said that it was a little smoky, 
but that it would do very well. They had not 
time to stay, but took it in their hands, and eat 
on the road* ; and the com being in the sheaves, 
Uuyy took it before *em and fed their horses. As 
they ridd along the road was lined with' the 
country people, who haz*ed them as they marched, 
which made the soldiers very merry*. 

Though it was the finest sight I ever saw, I was 
so wear\- that I left the Duke's army l)efore they 
got to Penrith, so I can give no certain account 
of how the rebells behaved, but by report they 
used them the worst in all the road. 

The King's forces could not falle of taking part 
of their bagidgc al>out Penrith, and I hope thev 
will come upp with the rest before they reach 
Carlisle. The soldiers is in great spirits, nnd 
their horses in good order. In my next I will 
give you an account of what became of them.

*The library is believed to have been 
built at that time to accommodate QeneiBl 
Honywood*s portrait on his charger, painted 
by Gainsborough, measuring 10 ft. 8 in. by 
10 ft., and judged to be one of the finest 
works of that artist's brush. There was also 
a charming picture of the General's wife» 
with a handsome youth, their son. General 
Philip Honywood rebuilt Markshall Church 
in 1763, three years after the birth of his 
heir ; and an inscription to his memory 
records that he was 

" General in His Majesty's Forces, Governor of 
the to\N'n of Kingston-upon-Hull, and' Colonel of 
the 3rd Regiment of Dragoons. He served 31 years 
in Parliament for Appleby ; lived an honest man, 
and died universally regretted, Feby.20th, 1786, 
aged 75 years." 

Another inscription is to the memory of 

" Philip Honywood, Esq., Ensign in the Fint 
Regiment of Foot Guards, only son of General 
Philip Honywood and Elizabeth his wife. Died 
Februar>' 3. 1779, in the 19th year of his age. 
A youth who never said a word to give his 

Earents pain, nor ever did one act to make them 
lush." 

A further inscription states : — 

" At her own request, close by his side, is laid 
the happy mother of her much loved son. 17S6.*' 

The General's will, dated June 10, 1777 
(two years before his son's death), bequeathed 
to him " in tail his manors in Cimiberland 
and Westmorland, and the household goods 
at Markshall and Howgill Castle." At his 
death in Februarv, 1785, Markshall passed to 
his kinsman Fiuner Honywood (b. 1745, 
d. 1809), M.P., second son of Sir John 
Honywood, Bart., of Kent. Filmer died 
unmarried in June, 1809, when the property 
passed to his nephew William, who was 
buried at Markshall, Feb. 9, 1818, a^ 59. 
He Vas followed by his son William FhiUp, 
who died 1831, leaving, by his wife Pricilla»

Porter's parentage, family, and boyhood: — 

"Sir James Porter wm tijo architect o( hta own

perron ol great energy and Btrtagth of niind, 

the wivere trials to which she was expowd 

with fortitude and piety. She was dau^ter of 



rother M 



Daubux of Yorkshire, and ti. 

I>aubu£ ol Brotherton her son waa m^ly indebted 
for hia education and for his Eteady adherens to 



with the Stuart family.^' 

Abnost the whole of this description is 
pure romance ; the truth in far more prosaic. 

Sir James Porter was the ^oa (and, so for 
as con bo ai^certoined, the younji;eflt son) of 
one Jean Fortes de la Roquo by his wjfa 
Marguerite d'Aubiu or Daubiii. His 
parents were married at the Hugumot 
Chapel in Hungerford Market by Oiaring 
Cross, June 27. 1700 (Register of Morriagca, 
Hungerfoni Chapel — Somerset House), t<-n 
years after the only vi»it paid to Dublm by 
King James 11., which was in 1090; and 
both belonged to the strictest sect of tho 
Huguenots, the sworn enemies of all thoM 
who supported King James H. and hia 
French protector. 

Marguerite Daubuz was the only daughter 
of Isaye d'Aubus, Huguenot pastor at Nerao 
in Guiennc, who wa." granted (July 2. 1685) 
by King t-ouis XIV. a pennit to leovo 
fYance for England with hJM wife and four 
children — three sonfl, diaries, •Ii«n, and 
Etienne, and one daughter, this .Marguerite, 
who was then a cliild of lens tlion five years 
old. Liaye d'Aubus died at an ina at Calais 
on his journey to England, and wa?i secretly 
buried in the iim Rs^en at night, for fear 
of desecration by the Catholics, hi« wife and 
tho innkeeper <ligKU)g his grave. Tho 
widow (whose maiden name was Julio 
Ducoase, daughter of Jospph Duowse) 
brought the little family lu England with 
the assiatonco of her brotbi-r-in-l»w, ChariM 
Daubuz, a Huguenot pastor who, hftving

nuRraled to England somo timo previously, 
liod been befrieotlpd by Archbishop Dolben 
of York, and had been granted by Jiim 
Bomeeoclesiastieal preferment — it ial>elieved, 
tho post of vicar choral in Soutliwell Co|. 
legiate Church. 

This Charles Daubiiz lived in the Minstor 
Yard at York, where he died in Maroh^ 
169fi/7, and was buri»d in the church of 
St. Michael le Beifrey, close to the Miaater, 
on March D, Cliarlea Daubuz liad crossed 
over to Calais on hearing of liis brother' 
death, and brought hia brother's widow 
and children to York ; and the mother and 
daughter seem to have resided at York 
until the denth of their protector, when 
they removed to London. 

Joan Fortes de la Roquo was the son of 
jFtcques Laroque of Duras in Guienne by 
hb wife Susanne. He wa^ horn at Duraf, 
and wa^ naturalized as a British subject iu 
the Act of Parliament 1 Anne, cap. iii., 
which received the royal absent May 25, 
1702, and by which Thomas St. Lpger de 
Bacalon and others were naturalized 
(M88. House of Ijords, New Serieo, vol. 
p. 470). 

In his petition for naturalization, which 
was made June 13. 1701, in conjunction with 
two other Hupienot ofitcerd, Antoine La 
Roque and Antoiae Vaissier Valogn^e, 
Jean states that he was & French Proteatant 
turned out of Franee for reliRion'a salte, 
and that he had F:er%'ed in tJie English army 
in Ireland and in Flanders during all the 
lafo wars (MSS. Houie o£ Lords, New Series, 
vol. iv. p. 300). Having been trained to 
armn in France, lie was made lieutenant 
and adjutant or quart«nnftster in the 
regiment ot Huguenot horao raised in London 
by Frederick, Duke of Schomberg, in July, 
168B; wa? present at the battle of the 
Boyne, July 1, leSO, figlitiog agairuit King 
James IT,, and served in that regimejit 
throughout the campaigns in Ireland, and 
continued up to the Pcaee of Rvswick, 
Sept. 20, 1897, to aerve in all the eam|>aigns 
on the Rhine and in Flanders, ha\-inB beeu 

farticularly di^tiuguinhed at a fight with the 
rcmoh grmrds at St. Michel in the I*w 
Countries. The regiment was disbanded on 
May 1, 1609. and Jean Ia Roque was 
(trantod a pension ot 2s, 6rf. a day (increased 
in_ 1721 to fi«. 3rf. a day) charged on the 
Irish Establishment, upon the condition 
{which wftFi imposed upon all the pensionera 
ot the Huguenot regiments) that ho and his 
family resided in Ireland. After his mftr- 
rii^i» Joaa La Roque resided in Earl Street, 
f't. GUm'B, and in Compton Street, Soho 



(Registers for Bajitism, Hugiienot Church 
of Le Tabernacle, Somerset House), uatil 
about 1704, after which lie appears to have 
gone to Ireland in fidiUment of the condition 
under wliich his pension wa^ granted. 
After a sojourn in Dublin, where he stood 
sponsor on March 30, 1707, to tho daughter 
ot John Porter (afterwards Alderman, and 
in 171.^-10 High Sheriff, and in 1723-4 
Lord Mayor, of the city of Dublin), ho 
settled in Cork, where he died April 21, 
1729. Letters of administration to the 
goods of Jean la Roque, lato of the city of 
Cork," were granted by the Prerogative 
Court of Dublin, Nov. 21, 1729, to John 
Portor, Alderman of the city ot Dublin, 
"principal creditor of the said decoued.

Office, Dublin). 

No relationship can bs traced between 
Jean Fortes de la Roque and Alderman 
John Porter of Dublin, Alderman John 
Porter died in Dublin, Jidy 1. 1736, and by 
his will (proved July 14, 173») baqumthed 
the whole of hia property to bia dat^hter 
Mary, wife of Wilhani Coolte, his sola 
surviving child ; and in the event ot her 
decease without issue (wliieh it n und«r- 
atood occurred) the nstate was devised to 
his two nephews John and James Porter, 
both of London, who were the sons of JeoD 
Fortes de la Roque ; but it is quite clear 
that he was not roally their imcle, tnasmoeb 
as lie was not the brother of either their 
father or mother, nor the husband o( 
Bister of either parent. 

According to a memorandun] left by 

oldest daughter, Anna Margarptta '(" 

married John Larpent), recording her r8^ 
collections ot what her father told her 
about himself. Sir James Porter <vbs bora 
in a barrack in Dublin in l7lO ; but there is 

record of his baptism in the registers of 
any church in Dublin, and it secma more 
probable that both he and his elder brother 
were bom in Cork, where tbeir patents 
resided, though no trace of their baptista 
can be discovered in the regiBtera of r ""' 
church in that city, and the rcgist^r^ o( 
Huguenot Church in Cork having bo«x k 
it is not possible to verify the aocurai^

became Vicar of Brotherton in Yorkahire,

Vincent, then Agent in Bengal, " for being to 
impertinent in the Bussmes Conseniing the 
Accounts," and shortly after lett<?re arrived 
from England by which Bugden was dismissed 
tlie service. 

His affairs were found to be greatly involved, 
but in Januarj', 1680, it was reported that he 
iiad " cleered bcveral debts to the Company and 
is discharged, giving bond to live under the 
Fort Government." In consequence, he re- 
paired to Madras, but in 1682 was back at 
Ilugll. The Court ordered that he should be 
compelled to make good 547Z. for goods *' found 
wanting " in calicoes sent to England. 

Once more, however, Bugden found sup- 
porter?, and on " the solicitation " of his 
friends he was readmitted to the service in 
A^rch, 1684, "in regard be hath made an 
lioncst shift to gain a livclyhood and repent," 
and because ** he has had noe dealings with 
interlopers " and " has considerable ex- 
lierience." Unfortunately, Bugden did not 
live to hear of his restoration to favour, and 
was probably dead at the date of his re-election. 
His wife had predeceased him (apparently in 
England), and his brother John, a pilot and 
** freeman," disappears from the Records aft^'r 
1680. Edmtmd Bugden left four children, a 
daughter and three sons, all minors. His goods 
were administered on Sept. 24, 1684, by his 
lister Elizabeth Turner, but his property must 
have been very small, for in 1689 30?. was paid 
by the Court to Ducy Turner, his brother-in-law, 
** out of cluirity, for relief * of .Mr. Bugden 's 
three children. Edmund, Charles, and William 
Bugden were all entertained in the Company's 
service on May 27, 1691, the first two as writers 
and the other as an apprentice, and were 
" transported " to India in the Charles the Second 
free of charge, *' they being poor orphans bom in 
India and their Father imployed in the Com- 
panys service in the Bay of Bengali." Edmund 
Bugden*s daughter Bebckah had, two years 
previously, been granted a passage to Fort 
Kt. George. His father, Edmund Bugden 
senior, died in 1698. 

The name of Bugden was perpetuated in 
Bugden's Point (Bugden*s Arbour) on the 
western shore of the Hugll river, the mo4em 
Huldia point above Huldla river. See ' Court

" Mjebus,** a Ghost Word. — ^Discuss- 
ing the origin of the new military term 
mebuSf a correspondent in ' N. & Q.* for 
March, ante, p. 86, writes : " According to 
Smith's * Latin-English Dictionary,* a 
melius signifies a castellated watch-tower." 
This is an error. On looking up various 
editions of Smith's work from uie nrst (1856) 
to the nineteenth (1888), I find that no such 
word is there given. I have failed to find it 
in any dictionary of the Latin language, 
ancient or mediaeval. If such a word as 
mcdme did exist, it is certainly strange that 
it should have escaped the notice not only 
of the mediaeval compilers of glossaries, but 
also of modem lexicographers (e.^., For- 
ccUini, Du Cange, Freund, Quioherat, and 
Georges). 

The correspondent adds (p. 87) : "In 
Slat-er's ' Dictionary of Provincialisms and 
Low German* m(B&u«»' a bastion.' The 
word also occurs in this sense somewhere 
in Komer's verses, but I cannot find where.*' 

Firstly, Slater's * Dictionary of Provin- 
cialisms and Low German ' seems to have as 
shadowy an existence as mcsbua itself. 
Neither the British Museum nor any other 
library that I have been able to consult 
possesses it. Bibliographical repertories 
(e.p., ' The English Catalogue of Books/ 
* The London Library CatalojB^e,' Ac.) do 
not mention it. No mf ormation is supplied

NOTES AND QUERIES. [ii:8.iv.ocT..ioi8. 



Wab Slang : ** Sandbag Maby Ann. — 
A curious saying is rapidly becoming populcu: 
with the soldiers in France, and that is 
*' Sandbag Mary Ann." Let mo make a 
note to prevent its origin being " wropt in 
mystery.'* 

Mary Ann started her career as Fairy Ann 
in the well-known phrase ** Cela no Fairy 
Ann," which is army French for " Cela ne 
fait rien," one of the lialf -dozen items 
necessary for conversing with the remaining 
natives. Fairy Ann, not being sufficiently 
homelike for old soldiers, becomes Mcuy 
Ann ; while — owing either to cherished idols 
at home being protected by sandbags 'or to 
the ignorance of the ** 18 -pounders ** (as 
the under-age recruits are affectionately 
called) when Sammy apologizes to Tommy 
for pushing past him m the trenches — the 
cryptic phrase " Sandbag Mary Ann " is 
more readily uttered and understood than 
the conventional " That's all right, olium."

Wab Slang. — ^Kipling has preserved for us 
the conversation of the men of India and 
South Africa, but the New Army, containing 
many scholars, has coined many additional 
terms, Fuch as ** hot and dirty " (cocoa), 
" wet and warm " (tea), " Caf6 Adelaide " 
(cafe au lait), I hope some of our militcuy 
friends will compile a complete list of these.

** Heateb-shapep." — ^The Oxford Dic- 
tionary records the compound adjecUvo 
" heater-shaped," without date or quotation 
to exemplify it. In an essay on * Gloucester- 
shire Fonts,' by Alfred C. Fryer, Ph.D., 
F.S.A., published in the Transactions of the 
Bristol and Gloucestershire Archceological 
Society for 1917 (vol. xl.), one finds, p. 41, 
'' a half angel vested in [an] alb and holding 
a heater-shaped shield " ; p. 43, " the 
chamfer is ornamented with eight heater- 
shaped shields of arms '' ; p. 45, *' is a heater- 
shaped shield hung by a guige." 

Edward S. Dodgson. 

G. W. M. Reynolds.— In Boase's* Modem 
English Biography,' vol. iii., it is said of 
G. W. M. Reynolds that he was ** church- 
wardcix of St. Andrew's, Well Street, 
London, to death.'' The Vicar of St. 
Andrew's informs me that Reynolds never 
AeJd aoy o&oe conaected with that ohuroh.

Jean Inoelow : Col. Robert Mathews. 
— ^When the Erebus and Terror sailed under 
Sir John Franklin, never to return, one of 
the senior officers was engaged to be married. 
When time had banished hope, Jean Ingelow 
wrote some verses on the SBrd circumstances. 
I have never seen them. They may not 
have been published, or the references may 
have been veiled. Where are the papers of 
this poetical friend of our youth T Will some 
one kindly help me T 

I should like to get into communication 
with the representatives of Col. Robert 
Mathews, long military secretary to Lord 
Dorchester in Canada, and Eubsequently 
employed in the War .Office or Horse Guards.

— Can any correspondents of * N. & Q.' give 
me information about Abraham Moore, the 
gifted translator of Pindar, or tell me where 
I may obtain such 7 I have ransacked more 
than one of our great libraries to learn about 
him, but have been imiformly unsuccessful. 
The Keeper of Printed Books at the British 
Museum cannot tell me, and the monumental 
' Dictionary of National Biography ' is silent. 
I therefore appeal to ' N. & Q. 

Wabben H. Cxjdwobth. 

Norwood, Massachusetts. 

Rosa Cobdeb. — ^This lady was known to be 
a friend both of Rossetti and Whistler. She 
was an accomplislied artist. I have seen a 
portrait of Col. Biunaby by her ; another of 
Algernon Graves, which wa^ painted in 
1878 ; and a drawing of his eon Sidney, 
which was made at the same time. She 
painted a pretty little picture of Radfont 
Church, with trees cut as peacocks, and a 
small picture of Master Howell ; idie also 
painted a good portrait of her mother, which 
was exhibited at the Academy in 1870. 

I should bo glad to know if this artist is 
still living, or when and where she died. Any 
furtlier infoxrnation regarding her will te 
greatlv appreciated, and will be duly acknow- 
ledged if sent to JoBW LAJtn.

KENT FAMILY AND HEADBOURNE 

WORTHY. 

(12 S. iv. 187.) 

The following aotes will, perhaps, be of 
interest to the querist. 

1. In Kirby's ' Winchester Scholars ' there 
is a list of 21 Scholars, of whom John Kent 
is the 17th, under the year 1431. But 
the arrangement of their names in tht; 
original Register is not quite so simple. 
There we have, first, a list of 7 boys under 
the curious heading " Nomina Scolariuni 
electorum xx" die August! A" Dni m'ccoc"" 
xxxi" et A" regni regis supradicti x" " — 
curious because Aug. 20, 1431, occurred in 
the 9th year of Henry VT.'s reign, and the 
10th year did not begin until Sept. 1, 1431. 
Next we have a list of 14 boys under tho 
heading " Nomina Scolarium nominatorum 
dio et A" supradictis et admiBsonim ut 
patet infra." Upton, the first boy on this ' 
list, was admitted on Oct. 6 ' " 



The boys on the second Ibt were admitted 
subsequently, during the year 1431-2. Kent 
thus entered the College on Aug. 23, 1432. 

3. There is no date on Kent's brass at 
Headboiome Worthy. Though the entry 
which I have quoted from our RegJBter 
asfiicns his death to Aug. 31, I43S, yet 
I think that Kirby's statement [' Soholars,' 
p. xi) that the boy died on Aug. 31, 1434,* 
IS really correct. Kent's name doe« not 
occur in any of the weekly lists of .the 
community in the Hall Book of 1434-S, 
which began on Saturday, Sept. 2G, 1434. 
I infer, therefore, that when this Book 
began he was already dead, and that the 
regnal year of his death ia misstated in the 
Bister. 

4. It would appear from the Register 
that an epidemic was raging at the College 
in the late summer and early autumn of 
1434. The following Scholars died : Bt. 
Modenford (Aug. 29) ; J. Kent (Aug. 31) ; 
J. Pryso (Sept. 1) ; Ralph Troweyf (8^. 4) ; 
Wro. Nowers (Sept. 6) ; Wm. Inkepesns 
(Sept. 9) J Rd. Smith of Newbury (Sept. 10) ; 
Wm. KyngiU and N. BusseU— "^ statim 
obiit," says the Register (A each of them, 
after recording that they were ^^dmitted 
" in festo exaltationis sancte omois " 
(.".«., Sept. 14, 1431). Prom the Hall Book 
of 1434-6 we further learn that J. Fosbroke 
died (1st quarter, 2nd week)t and Walter 
Law (Sth week); ; also two Quiriateia, 
Baynfeld and Cosyn (Sth and 6th weeks)! 
Another Scholar, Rt. Mohone (or Uohoae), 
" ■ in the 2nd quarter, 6th week (which 

n on Jan. 29, 1430). 

In those days the modem sjretem ot 
terms and vacations was unknown, but aay 
Scholar might absent himself for one nioath, 
continuous or discontinuous, in eaeh year 



the third hoy, on D.o. 10, ' and bSTK 'Z^'"!^'' It"!"' '^)»?'' "•'■ Pf,

6. la The WykeJiamiet for April 12, 1917 
(No> 562), I gave the details ol a like api- 
domio which occurred in 1430-1. No fewer 
thaa 26 Scholars died during the course of 
that year, 5 of them succumbing between 
tho Ut and the 9th of March, 1431. 

7. Aa th<i brass nt Hcadbo\irne Worthy 
■tat«B, Jobs Kent was son of Sinion Kent 
of Readiog. In 1447 tbe College, tiaving 
received 100^ from Cardinal Beaufort's 
executors in order that his obit might be 
kept hero annually, inveeted the money by 
purcliaaifig tho manor of Buttys in the 
parish of Borkham, Berks. The jiurohase 
18 recorded in an extant deed of Nov. 6, 
1417, whereby the College undertook to 
keep the obit. But about two years later 
the manor had to be sold, the College being 
in dire straits for ready money wberewitfi 
to maintain its establishinent. Simon Kent 
was concerned with the latter transaction, 
if not also with tbe former. Wo hear also 
of a John Kent :—

NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 8.iv.oct..i918. 



ceased to be chandler to tlie College in or 
about 1478, it may be inferred that he died 
then. 

13. In the windows of the Westgate there 
are now some stained-glass shields. One of 
them bears for arms Argent, two lighted 
tallow candles wdth twisted butts, in saltire, 
proper, and the inscription is "Scutiun 
Rici Kente nuper maioris ciuitatis Wynton." 
Another shield of like character bears the 
arms of another mayor, Henry Smart, who 
is known to have died in 1489 (see 9 S. 
xi. 333). Richard Kent's shield seems to 
denote that he too, like John Kent, was a 
chandler. 

14. It is a remarkable fact that neither 
John Kent nor Richcurd Kent nor Henry 
Smart is mentioned in tliat old list of 
mayors of Winchester which is printed in 
the * History and Antiquities of Winchester * 
(J. Wilkes, 1773), vol. ii. pp. 283 et acq. 
But the earlier portions of that list have 
been frequently criticized, and would seem 
to be quite untrustworthy. Kirby (* Annals,' 
p. 191) pointed out that the list does not 
contain Richard Rowland, who is styled 
Mayor of Winchester in one of our Account - 
rolls. Unfortimately, Kirby assigned the 
roll in question to the year 1448. It is 
really of 1457-8. As for Henry Smart, 
I loam from a College cartulary, once 
known as ** Registrum rubrum," fol. 16, 
that two of the witnesses to a deed of 
Aug. 27, 12 E. IV. (1472), relating to pre- 
mises in Golebrook Street, Winchester, were 
Henry Smart, then mayor of the city, and 
John Kent, ** chaundeler," then Alderman 
of Colebrook. 

15. The same cartulary informs us, fol. 20, 
that Thomas Kent was one of the executors 
of the will (dated Nov. 2, 1433) of Agnes, 
late wife of John Arnold in the soke oi 
Winchester, and previously wife of John 
Tumour, carpenter of the swd soke. More- 
over, one Henry Kent, of St. Thomas's 
parish, Winchester, became a Scholar of 
the College in 1448. Ho had previously 
been a Commoner (Hall Book, 1448-9). 

16. From what I liave said it is evident 
that there was a family of Kent which 
throve at Winchester in the fifteenth 
century, and Simon Kent may have been a 
member thereof who settled at Reading. 
As Headboume Worthy Church is onfy 
about a mile and a half from Winchester, 
it does not seem strange to me that his son 
John Kent's brass should be there, though 

I know not the precise reason why tm,t 
particular church was chosen for it. The 



* Victoria History of Hants,' however, states 
(vol. iv. p. 426) that a building known as 
" Kent's Alley House," belonging to the 
corporation of Winchester, and " tradi- 
tionally connected " with our Scholar, John 
Kent, was standing in Headboume Worthy 
as late as 1839. See also Kirby's ' Annals/ 
p. 182. 

17. One of several much-worn stones 
outside the church porch bears the name 
of a John Kent who died, if I have read the 
faint inscription aright, in 1710. A cross 
near the north-west comer of the church- 
yard marks the resting-place of three 
members of a Kent family, one of whom 
died as recently as 1907. The porch con- 
tains a list of parishioners *' now serving 
with the King's forces," and " A. Kent " is 
one of them. 

18. The College has long owned some 
property in Headboume Worthy parish, 
but was not owning it when John Kent 
died in 1434. It was part of the gift which 
Dr. Hugh Sugar, Treasurer and Canon of 
Wells Cathedral,* made to the College in 
1480, for the endowment of his obit. Hence 
we have his arms (three su^ar-loaves sur- 
mounted by a doctor's cap) m the vaulted 
ceiling of Thurbem's Chantry. 

H. C. 
Winchester College. 

John Kent entered Winchester College as 
a Scholar in 1431, and died 1434 ; his parents 
were probably rich, and thus able to afford 
the extra fee payable to the parish priest 
when a burial took place within the chancel 
of a church. 

It is probable also that the Kent family 
held property at Headboum ; for so late as 
1839 a house there — ^belonging to the 
corporation of Winchester — ^was known as 
Kent Alley House. E. Beaumont,

In ' A History of the Municipal Church

'* On a marble gravestone in the chaneeU 
' Hie jacet Johannes Kent quondam Bnrgenais 
de Beding : et Johanna uxor eina. Quorom 
animabus propidetur Dcus. Amen.* He gave 
130. towards the re-roofing of the church in 1410. 
He died about the year 1416. 

" Mr. F. J. Baigent in his article on ' Sherilb*

NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 8. iv. ocr.. ims. 



The columns of * N. & Q.' were occupied 
in February, 1S80 — if I do not err — ^by a 
very animfttod discussion on all the points 
now raised by G. J., F.S.A. The principaJ 
contributors were the late Db. Cbaxjfurd 
Tait Ramage and Mb. Campbell Gbacie, 
who, with many minor differences, were in 
perfect accord as to the descent of the 
Empress from the second son of the Imight 
of Closeburn who at the battle of Burns- 
wark ill 1483 took prisoner the 9th and last 
Earl of Douglas, and was rewarded by 
James III. by part of the barony of Kirk- 
michael. From him, 1st Baron of Kirk- 
michat:!, her descent is clccu*. It was 
verified by Cliarles Kirkpatrick Sharpe, 
the antiquary, and has never ^ been ques- 
tioned. Full particulars are in my pos- 
se:^sion, and I Fhall gladly copy for G. J. 
any extracts he may require. 

The only uncertainty to be noted is 
whether the last Baron, who sold Kirk- 
michael, was the grandfather or the great- 
grandfather of William Kirkpatrick of 
Gonheath, whose son William (one of nine- 
teen children) was Eugenie's ^andfather, 
the wine merchant of Malaga.';?^ J^S^' T,?i 

The query on this subject reminds me 
that in the seventies I was accustomed to 
visit a retail tea and coffee shop in Queen 
Street, Clieapside, kept by a Mr. Kirk- 
patrick. It was a shop close to that of 
Messrs. Jones & It'vans, the booksellers. 
Mr. Kirkpatrick always used to speak of the 
Empress as his. cousin Eugenie. He was a 
charming old gentleman of the old-world 
type, wearing tail-coat and, I believe, a 
white tie. The business must have been 
on that spot for many years. References 
to the Directories of that day would give 
some information with regard to it.

The following letters now in my possession^ 
which refer to an earlier election than that 
described by Mb. Self Weeks at>,the 
second reference, may interest readers of 
• N. & Q.' The writer of the first letter 
was probably a Preston man. As both are 
bound up in a small collection of letters 
addressed to Thomas Parker of Browsholme^ 
Esq. (Phillipps MSS. 8396 and 20608), it is 
possible that he was the addressee. For an 
account of Sir Thomas Clarges see ' Diet. 
Nat. Biog.,' X. 308. A letter dated April 10, 
1675, from Sir Thomas Stringer, touching 
his candidature, and addressed to Roger 
Kenvon, will be found in the 'Kenyon 
MSS\' Hist. MSS. Com., Rep. XIV. -^p. IV- 
p. 100. 

[Fol. 1.] The occasion of this letter is upon 
"Mr, livesaVs hiformacion, who is secondary in 
y* King's Bench, a Gent, generally known to 
fbe] honest and religious, he came twice to me 
this day, y* foroicr time I was abroad, y* 2^ time 
about 3 a clock, when he told me y* occasion of 
his comming was to acquaint me y* S' Tho. 
String' had dealt unworthyly w^ S' l^o. Olerges 
and his son by under minding them in their 
serious purpose as to this Election, by his private 
insinuacion, by making y* Duke of Albemarie 
bcliye y* it was in vain for S^ Walter Clerges to

Strang' to y* Town and country : but y* if it 
would please his Grace to conferr his fayour 
upon him and afford him his letter to the town 
in hiB behalfe, he doubted not but to cany it 
agst. S' Ralph [Asshetonl : then he told me 
y* Duke had given him his letter, w*^ w*^ he is 
gone down this evening: and all this, ai I s* 
before, w^out acquainting 8' Tho. dergea or his

Clerges as passes y* such a thing should be

appearing for his son S' Walter, he Bhonld be 
soe easily dissuaded from S' Walter his nearest

is y* very effect, if not y* words, y* Mr. livtesay

sheriff was produced in Curia Regis, and no 
evidence to the contrary. If the single 
issue before the King was whether or not 
Roger de Gloucester had ever given the 
land at all, it would not have been needed. 
Mr. Roland Austin, Hon. Sec. of the 
Bristol and Gloucester Archseological Society, 
favours me with the following copy of the 
notification above referred to, tekken from 
th3 * Gloucester Cartulary ' (Rolls Series, 
i. 235, where it is attributed to 1100-1112). 
It is import€uit. The concluding sentence, 
with its cliange of tense from conceeai to 
concede, is noteworthy : — 

OXLII. Culna Bogerii. Carta Becmida de laids 

teniris. 

Hcnricus, rex Angliie, Sampsoni epbcopo 
Wygorniensi ot Walter© vicecomiti de Glouc€«tria, 
et omnibus baronibus suis, Francis et Anglis, de 
Oloucestrcsyra, salutem. 

Notum sit vobis quod dedi et conceeai manerium 
de Culna ecclesiap Sancti Petri de Gloucestria ad 
communem victum monachonun, sicut Bogerius 
•de Gloucestria eis dedit et concessit, et sicut 
melius tenuit, pro aninia mea et uxoris mefip, et 
pro animabus anteccssorum meorum, et concedo 
eis escambium de horto monachonim in quo 
turris mea sedet, sicut Waltcnis vicecomcs de 
Oloucestrla eis liberavit. 

The form dedi et concessit though altered 
to concedo in the after-part of the document, 
denotes generally an original greuit. Genuine- 
ness admitted, I would paraphrase thus : — 

•* Know yo that I have given and conceded to 
the monks Coin which Roger de Gloucester gave 
to them. And this concession I give them a» 
satisfaction for the garden wherein is my tower.*'

"Gone west" (12 S. iv. 218).— The 
following extract from chap. xv. of * An 
Irish Cousin,* by E. CE. Somerville and 
Martin Ross, may have a bearing on the 
origin of this phrase. An old man is speaking 
of ghostly carriages which were believed to 
foretell a death : — 

** There was one that seen the black coach 
and four horses goin' weaht the road, over the 
bog, the time the owld man . . . .died ; and wansht 
. . . .there was a Sarsfleld out, that time the 
Frinch landed beyond in Banthrv Bay, and the 
English cot him an* hung him ; but inoae People 
took him and dhragged him through hell and 
through dotHh, and me mother's father heard 
the black coach taking him wcshi to Myross 
Churchyard." 

The word ** wesht ** is not in itcJics in the 
book. 

Another clue seems definitely to associate 

the phrase with Ireland. Perhaps the 

*' Old Contemptibles ** in 1914 learnt it from 

rtJij Iriah r^gunenta. In a review of Ufr. 



W. R. Le Fanu's « Seventy Years of Irish 

Life,* published in 1893, occurs the following 

sentence : — 

" The Western Irish attach a sinister meaning 
to west. Jim Shea, a fishing attendant of Itr. 
Le Fanu, had a violent fit of coughing, but he 
explained : ' *Tis not a cold I have at all, my lady, 
*ti8 a fly that's gone tceet in my stomach.* *' 

J. RXTDOE HaBDINQ. 

Is not the phrase " gone west '* to be 
erolained as due to the Celtic habit of saying 
'* I £uii going west ** in the sense '' I am ^ing 
back** or going home** — ^the habit illus- 
trated in Wordsworth's poem ' Stepping 
Westward * ? Q. C. Moore Smith. 

Sheffield. 

The poet Aubrey de Vere, writing to a 
friend about Wordsworth in 1848, says: 
'* May his tread be ever firm and his coun- 
tenance catch the new brightness as he 
continues to step westward.** See ' Memoir 
of Aubrey de Vere,* by W. Ward, p. 142. 

A. F, 

This phrase, ultimately referring to the 
belief in an earthly paradise, would seem to 
be of Irish origin. Uerald Grifiin (I think in 
a story called * Tlie Half Sir *) represents a 
man condoling with a bereaved friend by 
saying, " I am sorry for your trouble 
westward.** G. R. R. 

W. E. J. will find the idea eicpressed more 
fully, though not more poetically, in Moore's 
well-known lines beginning : — 

How dear to me the hour when daylight dies I 

John B. Wainewbiqht. 

'* Gone west** was a common expreesioii 
in Canada some years ago, and probably 
originated from the fact that the 'Far West 
was almost an unknown coimtn;^ into which 
if a man ventured, he was considered as lost 
to his friends. C. R. I. 

Elizabethan writers use the phrase *' to 
go westward ** in a much less romantic sense 
than to go to the Isles of the Blest. With 
them it means "' to be huiged,** as in Green's 
* Art of Conny-Catching,' part 2, " Westward 
they go, and then solemnly make a rehearsal 
sermon at Tibim ** ; ibid,, part 3, " SailiDg 
westward in a cart to Tibim.** 

In * Eastward Hoe,* by Chapman* Janson, 
and Marston, 11. i., the London merohant 
Touchstone says to his idle apporeatioe 
Quicksilver, who is speculating in an 
American voyaffe, " Sir, JBastward hoe wSQ 
make you go westward ho."

tho title-page to be an answer to seven 
qufstionfi, tbe f^istli being " Whether it be 
lan-ful to depose an evil governor and itill 
a tyrant F" From tlie discussion of this 
qtiBHtion Hallam quotes at Kome length, 
leaving no doubt as to Ponet's position:— 

■' The manifold and contioiied pxnmpln th»t 
bftve been, troin time to Unip, at thv deposing of 
kinga and Idlltug «t tfrants, <!•• iiit«t. certainly 
oontlnu it to be most true. just, and consonnot 
to Qod'a ludgmeiit. The liiator)- <il kings in tlio 
Old Tcataraent is full ol it ; And. aa C^rdinat Pole 
truly^ dteUi, Eneluid lacked not the practice and 
experience ol the sanie." 

After appealing to the examples of 
Edward II. and Richard n. of England and 
Christian [II. J of Denmark, he proceeds : — 

" The reasons, argunieiits, and lairs, that serrc 
(or the deposing and diaplacine ol an eril BOVemor, 
irUl do sa oiucli f»r the prriof that it is lawful to 
kill B tjrant, it Ihey may bv indiflorenUj- heard." 
The writer's statement that the High 
Constable of England bad authority upon 
just occasion to " eomniit " the king " into 
word " provokes Hallam to remark that 
" this IB (ui impudent falsehood." 

It is ill quoting at second hand. If the

Westminister in 1818. The first master of 
botli ■WB.1 James Buchanan. Though not a 
teacher by profosaton, he had an instinctive 
understanding of young children, and his 
ingenuity compensated for liis inexperience. 
In 1839 he sottlod in Cape Colony so as to 
be neor his children. Sir John Buchanan, a 
jiidse of the Supreme Court of the Union 
of South Africa, is liis grandson. Miss 
Buchanan, the judge's sister, says: — 

" Ur. Buchanan hud a ftutc which he pisycd

Among the specimens of har graadfather's 
rhymes given by Miss Buchanan are the 
fiasa oa tbo parta of speech. (For furOwc 



information see Salmon and Hindshmr'B 
' Infant Schools ' and an article fay Hr. 
Charles Higham in The Neic-Cbvrch Magtxcme 
for May and June, 1915.) 

The earliest date to which I have been able 
to trace the lines is 162fi, when they appeared 
in the fourth edition of Wilderspin's InfaDt 
Education.' This is probably their first 
appearance if Buchanan wrote them, a&d 
their appearance in the book of his disciple 
Wilderspin confirms the presumption toat 
he did write them. 

At It S. xii. S04 &Ib. Evebabd Colbiuii 
quoted the lines from an American newspaper, 
but tliey were doubtless a reimportation. 
'Searching Milton &, Bradley's stores in New 
York for novel kindergarten de\Tcea, I found 
one which I thought would be a useful 
addition to our own. When I described it 
M) tho lecturer on kindergarten at a Brookl^ 
i:oltege she Miid ; " Yes ; I found that in 
lilngland, and induced Milton A, Bradley to 
place it on the Anierican market.") 

At 10 S. i. 337 the lines are said to have 
been written by a librarian at Cape Town. 
This rather strengthens than weakens the 
Ascription of them to Buchonim, for ho 
lived for some years near Cape Town, and 
aae of his sons was the editor of The Cape 
Town Journal. Da\id SauiON.

JoHH DwERRYHoiTBE, Clockhakeb (12 8.

Bardslcy's ' Dictionary of Surnames,' and 
19 derived by him from " dye-house," throurii 
the local " dwver -house." Weekley, in 
his recently published book ' Sumamee,' 
derives it from " dwarf-house." It is found 
in the south-west of Lancashire ; and diouph 
Bardsley states that it is also a Yorkslure 
name, ho gives no instances. So far I have 
Qot found it in any Yorkshire document. 

My earliest I^mcashire note is dated 
Aug. 10, 1433, when John More of LyvOTpoUt

Vol. IV. Nos. 3 and 4. (Manchester, Unircnily 
Press ; Jy>ndon. Longmans & Co., 2«.) 

The BvlUtin of the celebrated Manchester library 
generally contains sc<me first-rate reading, and 
this issue is well up to the mark. But the anortcst 
contribution in it will perhaps claim the greatest 
amount of att«'ntion frc>m readers of ' K. & Q./ 
Tiz., Mr. William PoeKs ' Chronologicsl Talte 
shewing what is Proved and what is not Prored 
about Shakespeare's Life and Work.' It is 
arranged in two sheets, the first- covering the 
Elizabethan ]K'riod, 1604-1603 ; the seccmd the 
Jacobc-an perir>d, 1603-16. Readers will find a 
treat of a different kind in Dr. Powieke*s *A 
Puritan Idyll ; or, the Bev. Richard Baxter's 
Love Story,' a truly human document telling the 
story of a perfect married life. Another paper 
that will appeal stron^y to readers of ' K. ft Q,* 
is that by Dr. W. H. R. Rivers on ' Dreams and 
Primitive Culture.'

Newport or Cariabrooke. These families 
were all connected by marriage. I Rhould 
bo glad to have any information regarding 
Wavell. who attended a meeting in 1771. 
His C-hristian name appears to be Jonathan, 
and lie wa^ probably the fatlier of Dr. John 
Wavell, a well-known physician in the 
island. The last entry is for 1790, there 
being no more room in tlie book. At this 
meeting Dr. Peter Lewis was elected Presi- 
dent for 171)1. 

It would be interesting to know up to what 
date the society continued to hold its 
annual meetings.

THOMAS HEYWOOD AND 'THE 
FAIR MAID OF THE EXCHANGE.' 

(Seea/jfe, p. 261.) 

p]QiTAiXY clear indicationH of Hoyrrooct 
are to be found in tin.* text of the play. The 
notable words an? these : a-ftftociatc (v.), cotH'^ 
pefith'ous, e.vvfchl (n.), fiaenre, lackey (v.), 
immure, pcrplrxlofi, quittance (v.). It vrill 
be best ta take tlieni in the order of their 
occurrence. 

P. 7, associate, v. = accompany. 

And wo not pi*esent to a»90ciate you. 

Used once in this sense by Shakespeare* 
Common in Heywood. Compare * If You 
Know not Me,' 297 : — 

Thither, so please you, we'll associate you. 
Occurs again in 'The Brazen Ape,' 181;^ 

* Iron Age,' titM) : * Lucrece,' Hf), 203 ; and 
elsewhere. 

R 11, lackey, v. 

Boirdler, Will you not up and rid(» ? 
Mall. No. I'll ' lavkvtj hy his side. 

In ' The Hnizen Age/ 178 :-— 

I'll Uickvij hy thcM.» wlu'ivsoe'er thou ^est. 

Also * 1 Edwanl IV..' 16 ; ' Love a Mistress/ 
110. 

P. 13, immure. 

. . . .th(> depth of grtc£ 
That is immured within niy heart's deep closet. 

One of the cfniunonest of Heywooii's many 
Latinisms, especially in its literal sense. 
For its m(>taphori(!al application, ivs luTe,. 
compare * The Brazen Age,' 212 : — 
/mmi/r'c/ with death. 

The word occurs no fewer tlum six times ia 
' Tlu» Brazen Agi:^.' 

P. 32, perptexion. 
The tnie p(rpU'xion of her wi>und«*d heart. 
Again in ' The iJolden Age,' 40. « 

P. 56, /iuence. 

The natural fluenrc of my own wit had been* 
far lH'tt«'r. 

Compare ' Roval King and Loval Subject,' 

71 :— 

... .1 have lost my spirit And fhwnc^ of my bruin. 

The earli<'st authority for this word in 

* N.F*i.I).' is this passage from ' The Fair 
^laid of tlie Exchange.' (/hapman uses it a 
litth» Iat(»r, but then only in the primary 
sense of ** stream." Tlie only other citation 
in th(» Dictionary is from Wood's * Athence 
Oxonienses,' '* fliience in discourse " — ^not » 
parallel use.

NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. iv Nov., iwa 



Compare Chartley's speech in * The Wise 
Woman of Hog.sdon.' 289-90 :— 

. . . .wi» will havo no more at our nmrriage, but 
myBclf, to »ay,I t^ake thee. Luce ; thou to say, I, 
Liico, take thoe, liobin • tho Vicar to put us to- 
getlior, and yuur Father, to play the Clerk and 
cry Amen. 

The oorrospondenctj is just worth noting, 
since in both cases the allusion is to tlie 
marriage service. 

P. 72. Howdler liaving made his exit, 

the Crij^ple exclaims ; — 

Aduc, fond humourist, parenthesis of jests. 
Whose humour like a tiet^dlrifa ciplicr fills a room. 

Though, as wo have seen, " parentliesis of 
words " is used by Hey wood elsewhere than 
in this play, I do not fintl *' parentliesis of. 
jests " again. Hut the ei|)lier st*r\*ing 
merc^ly to ** fill a room '' will be found in 
• The Golden Age/ 25 :— 

Women, fair queen, are n<»lhinp without men. 
You are but ciphrrSy vrnjAy rooms to filU 

There still remains the possibility 
that ' The Fair Maid of the Exchange ' 
may be a recension by Hey wood of an 
earlier work from another hand, but on 
the whole it seems more reasonable to 
account for its departure from ** the style 
or Oiconomv" of **th(* i-est of his labours " 
by regarding it as a deliberate attempt t<y 
elevate the pitch of his verse*. The pro- 
logue, with its promise of higlier flights in 
the future, seems to me to lend strong 
support to this conclusion, ami the fact 
that in this of all plays Heywood shouhl 
claim indulgence; for the ** low plain song '" 
of the author's nuise to imply a conscious- 
ness that the playgoers of the day demanded 
a more inflated style of verso tlian he had 
been wont to give them.

Sir AVai.tkr Raleigh, East Londoner. — 
The end of October was the Tercentenary 
week of on<» of the greatest and most 
romantic of the Klizabetlians — the founder 
of Virginia ; it nu\y tlien»fore be well to 
recall the fact that at times Sir Walter 
Ral(»igh was a resid(»nt East Londoner when 
contemplating and pre[)aring some of the 
most important adventures across the 
Atlantic, North and South. He certainly 
had a residence in Mile End, within easy 
distance of the Thames by Ratcliff Cro.'«s 
and Stairs, lie dates from Mile End on 
May 2;^, ir>0(>, and then* is no doubt that 
Sir Walter was actively engaged in maritime 
|)reparations at various times in the waterside 
handets of th<? ancient manor of Stepney — 
then the l\)rt of 1-iondon, whose centre wa*? 
Ohl Ratcliff. Here he must have recruited 
many Armada veterans and their sons 
*' to singe the Spaniard's beard." 

In the Register of Stepney Church there is 
recorded, under dat(» of Aug. 20, 1596, the 
burial of ** a man-servant of Sir Walter 
Rayli(» : his name unknown : buryed from 
Mile End." This entry is evidence on tlie 
»t\\\ chsputed p<»int of the pronunciation of 
Sir Walter's family name, at least in the 
(lays of the Virgin Queen among the 
scribes of th(» clerking class. 

Hlackwall is often mentioned in Sir 

Waher Raleigh's letters to Cecil, and is 

spelt Rlakewale, HIakwale, and Braekwale. 

On May 3. 1500, Raleigh writes, "From 

Blakwale, reddy to go down agayne this 

tyde " ; and further on in the same letter 

hv spells it ** Hraekwale.** He was then 

organizing thi^ expedition to (.'adiz ; and 

the next day he wrote from Northfleet that 

*' if this strong wind last, I will steale to 

J^lakewale to speake with you, and to kiss 

yt>nr hands." In other letters to Cecil 

Rah'igh often n'fers to " Ratloife " and 

** Haeklief." Hustling about, an he then 

wa<, up anil ilown the river. Sir Walter was 

of his j naturally familiar with the landing stairs^

In * As You Like It,' Act IV. so. iii., is found 
the line 

Chewing the food of sweet and bitter fancy. 

This lijis bei»n frequently quoted erroneously 
as 

Chewinf; the cud of sweet and bitter fancy. 

^hmy people know that Scott is one of 
tliose who have perjx^t rated tliis error, 
and it would interesting to leani whether 
it was he who originated it. In the lant 
sentence of the fourth eliapter of ' Waverley * 
the won Is occur, and again in the introduc- 
ti(»n to " Quentin Diu^vard,' where they are 
j>ut into the mouth of an imaginary French- 
man, and the spelling is altereil for the 
piu'pose of reproducing the foreigner's znis-^ 
reading of the English words. Howard 
Furness in his * Variorum Sliakespeare *'

Harrovians. — Can any one oblige n)0 
with information about tlio families of 
Joseph Jot 10!^, who was at Harrow from 
1858 to 1802, and of Douglas Kdward 
Anderson, 18fi/i-0 ? J. Jones's father was 
of Severnstoke, Warwick. J cannot trace 
Anderson's jiai-entage. Are anv niembers 
of either family alive ? G. \V. E. R. 

Haworth Family of Mirfield. — Anj' 
infonnation about tlio ancestry of John 
Haworth of Mirfield, who died about 1803, 
will be acceptable to 

C. W. Huckenham-Ha worth, Lieut. 
H.M. Prison, Wormwood Scrubs, VV.12. 

Rear -Admiral William Brown-. — He 
was of an old U»icest(?rshire family, and 
cominrtnded the Venus frigate in the Cluuinel 
fleet under Lord Howt^. In wliat part of 
LeicestiM'shin* was he born ? I sliould like 
to get ill touch with his desern<lants, if any 
are living. The ' D.X.H.' rioes not mention 
lu's ])ar»»nta^e. Please re]»Iy direct.

AxciKNT Order of Foresters : Due 
Eye.— Can any reader of ' N. <& Q.' i-u- 
lighten me a-* to the meaning of the bhie 
eye, with yellow rays radiating downward 
from it, which figures in the illustrated 
certificate awarded to meinbers of tlie 
Ancient Order of Foresters ? I should also 
be glad of iWerences to the origin and histor>' 
of this order. C. >V. H. 

fTho eye appears also on the certilicateR of other 
friendly Hoeietios. The Manchester Unity of Odd 
iTellowa describes it thna : ** Above all. and en- 
circling the whole fdesijjnl with Divine elTul;jence, 
beams tlu' Omniscient Kye of the (irest Creator, 
whose all-searching «lance each brother must pre- 
pare to meeti."! 



Mk'kle : * CiMxoR Hall.' — Jn the 
* D.X.B.' it is stated that "There's nae 
luck about the hoose " has bivn attributed 
to Miekle, but that " internal evid^nc;^ is 
rather n^ainst the likelihood of his author- 
ship, and in favtnir of that of Jean Adam 
(1710-17(K,)." On the otlu-r hand. Mr. 
Gurnt-y M.-iiliain in * Cassell's Book of 
Quotat i<»ii<,' wliih* aj)[)arentlv adniitt ing 
Mickh''s authorship of " Then-'s na.» luck,'* 
Fays in a ii..tf : " The ballad ^ Cnrniior Hall * 
is also attribut.Ml to .lean Adam (1710- 
nOf)).' Had Micklc's authorship of * Cum- 
nor Hall ' rvtn- prrvi(»usly bt^-n questioned ? 

.loHN B. Wainewrkjut. 
^r/Tl'oV'^*^^'' ^^ ^'^^ ""^»^® of '^^an Adam in the 



Rev. John Woodhouse. — I should be 
glad to learn the parentage and date of birth 
of the Rev. John Woodhouse, who waa the 
master of the famous Nonconformist 
Academy at Sheriff Hales, 1676-96, and died 
in Octobtn*, 1700. According to Burke*8 
* Landed Gentry,* he was the third son of 
John irocfehouse of Womboum : but this is 
in conflict with the ' Staffordshire Pedigrees, 
1664-1700,' published by the Harleian 
Society in 1012. A. T. M. 

BisuoF Hall on Doing Nothing. — No 
fewer than five bishops of this name are 
mentioned in the * Dictionary of National 
Biography ': (1) George, Bishop of Cliester, 
1612-08; (2) George, Bishop of Drcmiore, 
1753-1811; (3) John, Bishop of Bristol, 
163;i- 1710 ; (4) Joseph, Bisliop of Exeter and 
Norwich, 1574-1656; (5) Timothv, titular 
Bishop of Oxford, 1637-00 (he\%as re- 
fused installation to the bishopric by the 
canons of Christchurch, 1688). 

To which of these divines is the following 
opinion to be attributed ? — *' There is 
nothing more troublesome to a good mind 
than to do nothing.*' It is quoted as a 
saying by Bishop Hall, but without any dat^ 
or reference to publication. In view of the 
fact that No. 4 was the author of poems, 
meditations, devotional works, and bio- 
graphical tracts, as well as * Observations on 
Specialities of Divine Providence,* it sc^ems 
likely that he is the writer referred to, but I 
have no evidence of it. Perhaps some 
reader may have found it, and can supply the 
desired information. J. E. Harting.

MaLUROOK s'EN VA-T-EN rjVKRRE. — 

More than forty years ago I i-ead an Knglish 
rendcTing of the famous marching-song 
'*Malbrouck a'm va-t-en guerre." .1 ht'lieve 
the verses occurrtnl in an old novel, but 
I have forgotten its name, and I sliould be 
most grateful if any i-eader could put me 
on th'^Mr track. The first verse ran as 
follows : — 

Man)rook t^) the Wt'^ra ia couiiiig, 
I fancy 1 ht»ar his cliuinminf;, 
He'll put an end to the mumming 
Of this priest -ri(l(l«^n monarquo. 

F<»r the nioiuent he en t era Flanders 
He'll sfiin* all their brave commanders, 
Who'll ily like so many ganders 
histurlied by th*- nia*stilT'» bark. 

Of the second verse I iiave only a [hazy 
recollection, but it began something like 
this : — 

He ctmies, and at Schellenborg licks 'em. 
At liamillies next h«)w he kicks *om ! 
At DIenheim . . . .he sticks *c»m 
With baycinets to the gmund.

Sampson (L')47). The alteration lias be«*n 
attribute<l to Bp. Haeket, but there art's 
instances of the cross quadrate before his 
time, and, to a(hl to the confusion, many 
non-qimdrate since then.

In view of the misconceptions which seeni 
to exist TH)on thi« fiubjc»ct, it in advisable 
(and inck»€Ml n**ci»ssary to a propT apprecia- 
tion of tlie argument) to bear in mind that, 
apiirt from any aliase-s, the name of the 
oripnal j^franttH* of the anns in lo49 was not 
.lohn Henelmian, but Kdward Henxman, 
and that the eon version, then as now, of 
an old-style * into an ir, or of an indifferent 
./• into an a, was no le.sH simi)le a process 
than that' of translating a blind e into an 
undotted i, 

'rhi» eonnexion of such members of the 
family as have adopteti a spelling other 
than "that of Henehman with the worthy to 
whom Henry Vll. exclaimed, after a 
strenuous day in the fiehl, ** ( 'rosborough, 
thou art a veritable henchman ! '* is not 
meri»ly a tradition. In * X. & Q.' 2 S. 
xi. ">lV» (.lime 21», 18fil), over the signature of 
Hknrv \V. S. Taylor, appears this note :— 

*' There iis a still nearer appiviach to the original 
form of this name in a fauuly htill rraiding near 
Sfdi.sbuiy, the Ilinxmans «»f Duniford, whoBc 
arniP. ti>' be .seen on a monument to the ineniorv 
of a meml>er of the fandly, are, I b«'lieve, identical 
. . . .piHiving the conmion anci»«ti'>* «)f the several 
variatit>ns of the name." 

One authority has given it as Ed. Hinxman, 
alian llrnxman. 

On the othor hand, are the Henehmans in 
a position tt» aflirm that the " grandcliild 
and heir appan-nt " of Thos. Henelmuuit 
skinner of I-K>ndon (mentioned hi the docu- 
ment recortled ayUv, p. 24), or one of his 
SI 'vrnlec-nth- century successors, did not alter 
hi^ name to, or assume, that from which, 
aeconling to Prof. »Skeat. ** Henchman" 
was dorivtMl, and that iIh» de.-een<lant« of

the rann» Hourj* Hoiu«iiiaii ap])«>arH to have 
bw.»n qiHitJMl a]>art from its context, and in 
wliioli the (ItMieased is (lrs(?rih(Hl as *'of 
Bozeat, Imt formerly of this jnirish/' may 
or may not imUe^te that he had a s(»con(i 
Christian name. At all ev(»nts, it is mani- 
fest that, whatever tin* relationship other- 
y\ise, th«' siihject of this i*ntry was not 
identical with th(? ** H(»nry Hcnsnian, gentle- 
man farm»T," thus nK'ordetl as having heon 
interrnl at Pytchley on Sept. 10, 1705, 
although lhc> iiozeat amd Odell Hen^nans 
were also y«H)men farmers. 

Hozitit was the matrimonial Mecca (»f the 
family, foi- l)ctween 17")? and 1708 no fewer 
tlian eight of its members w(*re married 
in this (juasi-Wellingborough suburb, none 
of whom was baptized t!ien\ 

Pytehli'v's registers go no furtluT back 
tliaiijHiO.l, but there were numerous Hens- 
man entrii's in those of Otlell In'fore that 
datt\ 

Reverting to th»» pe<ligree printed ante, 
p. 1*4. it is noticeable that the first 
name in it is " Henchman, aliaft Cros- 
borough," no other names or connubial 
details Iw'ing vouchsafed. StM*ing that the 
signatory to tlie earlier of the 2)ortions into 
which th<» rc*cord is divideti may have been, 
and probably was, the deseemlant of John 
C.-rosborough through a brother of Kdward 
Henxman, the origimil gi'anttv — that is, 
through Richard Henchman of \V(»lling- 
}>orough — the question naturally arises: 
Wlu), if not tluf llensmans, were the lineal 
dtnvendants of Edward Henxman, since the 
HeiichmaiLs, on their owii showing, were 
'' all "— or nearly all — extinct ? Without 
having seen the W<»llinglx>rough registers, 
one nuiy haziuil the guess that they wouhl 
bt» found t«> contain divers HeiLsman and 
Hinichmaii entries at any time since 151K). 
(One Edward Hensman was Mayor of 
Northampt(»n in MOO, and the present 
wTittT has been unable to discover that 
"Henxman" has persisteil in the family 
from th(» t ime of Edward of 1 hat name.) 

Without f>rejudic»\ then»fon», to the issue 
raised by Dr. HiTCiiMAN at I] 8. iii. 150, 
incompletely statinl as it was, and having 
regard to tlie (»ircumstance that the house- 
holds on the bonlers of Northants and Beds 
were so intimately assocMatinl as to be 
barely distinguishable, it may be saitl that 
the crux of the qut»stion rests with the 
Wei I ingl )i )n ) i igh - Bozeat -Odel 1 c<.>nnexions. 

The matter, however, is largt»ly wrapped 
lip with that, of the origin of the word as a 
cojwwyn noun. Its e^irliest us<» in England 
tra^ si'ivmbigly in l.*i78-9, whc»n a compromise 



wa£$ effected between two of the later forms 
in an entry reading : " Hann Wynsele, 
henxsman Regis " (\^'ard^obe Account^,. 
2 Hen. IV. 43/2, Q.K.). An Act of 1463 
'' to restrain excess in apparel " makes an 
exception in favour of "Henmien, Ueroldes," 
&c. Certain excerpts from the Wardrobe 
Accounts of the fifteenth century published 
in tlie colimins of * N. & Q.' in the pfiujt show 
that "henxman" was also in the field. 
To 1532 belongs an item : " Tlie Fame daye 

f)aied to the yonian of the henxman for ther 
odging " (Privy Purse Expenses, Hen. VHI. 
p. 200). Witli respect to this and kindred 
items, Rardsley, in his painstaking * Dic- 
tionary of| English and Welsh Sumaznes,' 
remarks that *' throughout tliese entries the 
hinxman was ' a page of honour.' '* It 
was not until late in the seventeenth century 
that " lienchman,'' though frequently used 
in the sixt(»enth, secured a virtual monopoly 
cf tlu* word as a^ common name ; but what 
can liave hapi)ened to explain the change 
which has come over the term — as implying 
a political cami^-follower or lackey not 
unduly cliarg«»d with scruples — would be an 
irrelevant topic of discussion here. 

it is not impossible that Hinxman (or 
one of its variants) may have obtained as a 
l)roi)er name prior to 1485. But enough ha.H 
been adfluced to form a guide to those with 
a penchant for research in detei mining 
whether the descendants of Henxman, 
(Otherwise Hensman, wlio were living at 
Ht»zcat, near Wellingborough, were in any 
wav related to tlie descendants of Hench- 
man, otherwise Crosborough, who wire 
living at Wellingborough, near Bozeat.

peter of Evil/ but it might be made a 
cpiestion whether the demon*R instnunent 
would not be di»scribed mort* coiTectly if 
called a horn. 

As Mr. Le C'oiJTEUR askc*d for infonna- 
tiou about the origin of .such representations, 
the following point.^ may be mentioned 
here :-- 

1. Th«? tnunpet (crdXTriy^, tuba) has always 
b(»en regarded as the instrument with 
which the heavenly host will proclaim the 
arrival of the Day of Judgment. See 
Matt. xxiv. .31:1 Cor. xv. 52 ; 1 Thess. iv. 10. 

2. This idea probably derives from the 
Ji'ws, to whom tin* tnunpet {hazozfraJi)^ 
like the shojar (the ancient lu»rn of I.srael), 
was '* not so much an instrument of music 
as one of teriCah (noise), that is of alarm 
and for signalling." Its primary' use wa.** 
to givt* signals to the people to as»;einble 
or to br«»ak camp. See th<* ' Jewi.sh Ency- 
clopaulia.' xii. 'itiS. The nhofar^ the ins*tni- 
inent with whicli the new moon, the new 
yrar, &(\, were ])roclaiiiu»d, was also em- 
ployed, likt* the silver hazozcrah, as *' the 
signal-horn of war.'* Si»e ?6/r/.. xi. 2Ul. 
The coming of the heavenly host may bt* 
viewed either as the dawn of a new era or 
as a war, on»» of rapid mo\-ements and 
short duration. 

3. The ust» of such instnunent^ lor 
purposes of ceremony or war was, of course, 
not confines I to the Jews. It was widespread 
among tin* mitious. As regards the Romans, 
for in*<taiuu», one may (pu)te : — 

Xon tuba ilirecti, nnn »ris cnrnua flexi, 

Xon ^aleas non en^tis. orant. Sine inilitLs usu

hie silvas. nee paUiilcs, sed n'quis loots lequot

Tliese quotations are none the worse if th^ 
seem somewhat d(»scrij)tive of times througn 
which we t)urs(»lvi»s have btvn passing. 

4. As the tnunpet will be the angels* 
jiustrunn»nt at tlu* l^st Day, it seems 
! n*a--oimble to imagine that tlie demons* 

wlio had thi'ir ]»n>t<»tyj)es in the faims and

St. SwiTHiN : a Wki-sh Rival (12 S. 
iv. 214). — I believe that all over the north- 
west of Eiiropt* ih«» ideaiirevails among.st the 

•country folk that the condition of the 
weath(T about th«» latter part of July fore- 
shadows wli«*ther Aujju.st will be wet or tlry. 
The rival of St. Switliin in the Netherlands 
is St. Ahvrgaret, and her festival falls on 
July 20. 

One wonders, notwithstanding the? scoffing 

•of modern meteorologists, whether there is 
nob something in thc*se old-world pro- 
phecies. They apjx'ar amongst peojjle who, 
when the saying-* originated, wtMv hartlly 

.aware of each other's existiMiee, but they 
daily watehi'd all through lifr the weather 
in tho."«e day.-^. W. dkl Court.

Henclkr Family (12S. iv. 242). — Charles 
Milton Hengl(»r wa-i a Dane, and eame from 
Copenhagen. Known in J^iverpool as ** hand - 
some Hengler,'' he was a vi.»r.^atile genius — 
•could dance on th«» tight rope and play 
Hamlet the same evening, *' a tin<» con- 
trastive talent." His first circus was in 
Dale Street (March UJ, 18r)7), his seconcl 
in Xewington (Oct. 21, ISHl), and his third, 
la -it, and gr(*att»st in West Derbv Koad, 
Low Hill (Xov. i:^ 1S71»). He al.s*o e.^tab- 
.lis!\ed arenas in London, CJlasgow, Dublin, 
an- 1 elsewhere. He lived in Mount Pleasant, 
and his brothers Edward and John Milton 
H'-ngler in Pjlizabeth Stre(»t, where they had 
the well-known riding school, over the 
•*' classic " door of which is the date IS.")©. 
This building is at present vacant, and 
looks ill-careil-for. The last performance 
at Low Hill Circus was on Feb. 9, 1901, 



when Mr Albert M. Hengler was proprietor 
and director. The building which replaced 
the circus was named ** Tlie Hippodrome," 
but is only a nuisic-hall. Sir tranftit / 

'* Hengler's " was the pure an<l great joy 
of the young in days gone by -the very 
Astley's of Liverpool. It has given the 
<ii.->trict its name ; and it is curious that 
nearly o[>po-»ite is another i)lace of former 
note, the Necropolis. One tells of dtjjarted 
glory, and the other of the glory of the 
depart(»d. The old cemetery (a fear.some 
Dickens-like place it came to be) is now a 
rerreation gi'ound. Children who never 
Jcn&w ** Hengler's " can tell you where 



" Hengler's Circiis Hill " is. " Brougham 
Terrace, near Hengler'a Circus." \ya^ a 
dir«»ction heanl but yesterday ; and *' Everton 
Koad, by the Necropolis," is very well 
understootl. There is a Mr. John M. 
Hengler at present living in Hoylake. 

George Marshall. 
21 Purklicld Koad, Liverpool. 

T am at present doing duty at Folkestone, 
and consecpiently have to rehy on memory, 
as I have no memoranda by me. 

Charles, th(» founder of the circus bu.sinese, 
was a n)emb(»r of Cook's Circus, and later 
startml on his own account, and built 
p(»nnan(»nt circuses at Hull. J-iiverpool, and 
Dublin. The Liverpool Circus is now trans- 
formed into the Hippo<lrome, one of the 
largest variety theatres in the eountrj*. 
My remembrance of many pleasant times 
sp«»nt with old members of the show extends 
over thirty vears. 

The family resided for many years in 
Xewsham Park, Liv(?ri30ol, and attt»ndi»d 
St. Silas's Church (C. of E.), Pembroke 
Place. Many of the family (including the 
moth«»r of the founder) are burieti in the 
Smithdown Road Cemeterj*, the burial-place 
being about 20 yards to the left at the 
main entrance. SERUEA^n* 

Ten'niki/s Hook -Illustrations (12 S. 
iv. 237).- -In the sixties Sir .lohu Tenniel 
was on the staff of illustratoi*s of Good Words. 
So far as T can find from the vohanes in my 
po.ssession, his last contribution appears in 
the volume for 1804, illustrating a poem of 
"Tsii Craig s"—* The Way in the Wood.* 
I do not i)os.s<?ss the volume* for 18(53, but 
tlu»re is in my collection an engraving of 
' The Norse Princess ' from that volume, 
bearing his usual monogram. In Good 
Words for 1884 appeared an article on 
' John Tenniel and (.'aricature Ai*t * by B. 
WalkcT, luit no mention is made therein of 
his former connexion with the magazine.

Assuming the storj' to be genuine, T sliould 
judge, from the Internal evidence of botli 
Plumi)tre*s and Da Butl's versions, that It 
was nuich more likely to have had Its origin 
In Cologne than at Chmy : for on<» can }mr<lly 
picture a 1 Benedictine abbot or Benedictine

ever was the colour of th«»lr habits, whereas 
we are Ignorant of the Order to which the

in December, 1672, the Court urged that he 
should be encoumj^ed to behtive ** faithfully 
and dillijrently." In 1673 he was ordered Uy 
Patna, and had reached Rfijnxahid on his way 
thither when he wrote the letter given below.. 
In January, 1675, his conduct was conunended 
by his Chief, Job Charnock. In Sept«»mber he 
came to ija laser, and remained as writer there- 
and at Hugll. In 1676 he ranked ** 6th. in the 
Bay,** and on Nov. 23 signed a new bond as 
a factor. In the foihrnin^ year he intc^nded 
to return to £nf;Iand and took a p<'isi»age in 
the Cajsar, Init fell a victim to the epidenuQ 
wlii<*li proved fatal to so many of the Company's 
servants in A\ipust and Septeniber, 1677.

"Macaroni "' : OBiCi 
Some ycafK ago tlio folloning 
aocoiint of the origin of tlie word 
roni " was givpn tn itic l>y nn Italinii, n 
nativo of MaUh who hiul livod rciiifli of his 
life at Naplea ;— 

Once upon a time Jove diepatchpd Mercury 
on H minsion to NtipIeB to find out wliat tlie 
Keapolitans wcro doing and how thpy iived. 
Feeling very hungry ono day, Mercury 
entered tlie houi-e of a poor fiRlieminn anil 
askeil for something to eat. A dinli of 
macaroni was plar.pd before him, wliich lis 
declitrod to he finer than nnylhing he had 
ever eaten eitlier on earth or in heaven. 
Before departing, in response to tlic iisher- 
man's re(|i;est, for payment, he hanrlcil him 
some gold and asked what the name of the 
marvellous ilihh was. The fi.-ihermnii, miB- 
nnderntanding the qneKtion, and thinking 
he was gnimliling over the price, re|ilied, 
" Non Kon cari nm caroiii " li.e., " They are 
not dear, hut ^■e^y dear "), wlieiiee the 
name " macaroni. " 

PoBKiLly readers of ' N. & Q.' will be able 
to nay whether tliiH utory is of Neapolitan 
origin or not. When I wtw at Naples some 
two yearn ago I (|uesfionetl various iiiliabi- 
tatotfi, but none of them had ever heard it. 
Tho man who told it to nie was unediicatcd, 
and would hardly have been ablo to invent 
it himself. Moreover, it may be remarked 
that in motlern Italian tJio word in " inac- 
ohcroni," and not " niancaroni," which in 
an old form now entirely obsolete {cf 
Fanfani, ' Vocabolario.' Fireiize. 1884, 
f.v. Maeoarone ; ' Vocabolario degli Acca- 
demioi della CniKca,' ed. Firenze. 1905, 
a.v. MaetiheTomi ; ' New English Dietionarj-,'

as to the ulterior ctjinoiogy of the word.

NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. iv. dec ms. 



** M.V^'TLE-MAK15B•8T\\^ST " (12 S. iv. 272). 
— ^This oxpressioii, though now less ire- 
quontly hoard than fonnerly, is, to my 
kno\vli»<ljre, still used Mhouph generally in a 
humorous sense) by old-fashioned people. I 
in\'arial)ly hear it spoken of as the ** mantua- 
miki.fr' s twist," a proof of its bygone oripin. 
Eighty r)r a Inmdred years ago tea was an , 
expensive luxury, though much appreciated | 
as a beverage by seamstresses, Tnantua- 
makers, and other sedentary workwomen, 
who drank tea at frecpient intervals during 
each clav. When the brew became weaker, 
it was a general custom not to make fresh 
tea, but to pr>ur more water upon the tea- 
leaves, and not to "stir" the infusion, 
but, under the imprecision that greater 
8trc»ngth was nffocted by the process, to take 
the teapot, in both hands and give it several 
rapid twirls before decanting the brew.

IIkraldic : Azure, a Lion Rampant 
Guard ANT (12 8. iv. 245). — ^These are tlie 
anns of G'erard. Tlio various branches of 
this family bear Az., a lion rampant erm.. 
though the lion is not in every case 
** guardant." TIuis Berry in his * lifncyclo- 
pa^dia Herald ica ' gives the arms of (Gerard 
(Tuer and Bryn, F^incashins and Etwall, 
Derbyshire) as Az., a lion ramfwint erm., 
crown <»d or : anrl so also tluj arms of Gerard 
of RroTuloy. StafTordshire. But the present 
Lord (J<Tard (of Bryn) bears Arg., a saltier 
gu., tliough the lion rampant erm., crowned 
or, n^appoars in his crest. N. K. Tokk. 

A z., a lion rampant ermine, crowned or, 
is assigned by Tapworth to Fitz-Cierard, 
CO. Lane. ; Gerard, Bromley, co. Staff, and 
Ktwall, CO. Derby ; and Peach or Pecrliey, 
Kent ; and Az., a lion rampant guardant 
ermiiu*, to (I(^ninl. Is there no crest on 
tlie luitclnnent ? T1h» Barons Gerard bear 
for fuost a lion rampant ermine, cnn^-ned or. 

S. .A. Grundy-Nkwman. 

Hkraldit : Saut.k, on a CfrEVRON Ak- 
GKNT (12 S. iv. 210). — Papworth's ' Ordinary 
of British Armorials ' assigns this coat to 
** King, Lon<lon : granted by Camden. 
KirifiT, Towoester, oo. Xorthampton : Lox- 
ivooii House, and 3Iidhurst, Sussex." The 



grant (Harl. MSS. 6095, fo. 7, and 1422^ 

fo. ')6b) included a crest, a hand (cubit arm 

erect) grasping a (broken) spear. 

S. A. Gbundy-Xxwman. 
Walsall. 

Heraldic : Captor and his Captive'^ 
Arms (12 S. iv. 188, 251).— Two instances 
from the sixteenth century are given by 
Mr. W. Paley Baildon in the course of his 
articles on * Heralds' College and Prescrip- 
tion ' in Tfie Auce»tor (dx. 221-2). 

1. CJeorge Bullock, "late Mr. Gonner 
over the companye of the Ordinarye Gon- 
ners '* of Berwick-on -Tweed, by his will 
dated June 13, lofiS, granted to his son-in- 
law Kowland Johnson, gentleman, "an 
amies [blazoned in full], whiche armes was 
wonne by tlie sayde George Bullocke 
xxviij'' yeres sence, of a Scott ishe gentil,- 
man, one of the house of Cockbume. * 
This leaves it doubtful whether the Scot 
was ca]>tured or slain. 

2. Tone in his ' Visitation of Lancashire,*^ 
ir):{2-0, records that 

** Mnstor Asheton at the Scottysh feldc tooke % 
prj-Roncr, whose name was Sir .lohn Formanr 
S<TJ«'Ant Porter to the Scottysh Kin^ ; and also 
he tooke Alexander Btinne. Sheriff of Aberdyno : 
whirh two prisoners he delivered to my Lord of 
Xorfolkc* that now ys, to know how he shall bear 
ther anues.*' 

Probably Mr. George Bullock had no 
arms of liis own, so ng difficulty would 
arise in his case ; but as Mr. Asheton was 
" the head of an ancient I^ncashiro house,** 
the question of combining his captives' 
arms with his own would pre.«ent an in- 
teresting problem, and it is unfortunate that 
wo do not know the result. 

Sir Henry Xewbolt alludes to the practiov- 
in his novel * The New June.' When Jobn 
Marland tells the Holand boys that bis 
shield bears the arms of Mells, but tliat hil 
own name is Marland, yoimg Edmund savf 
to his puzzled brother : " Can't you see m 
killed Mells in a figlit, and took his coat ? " 
Which, Marland explains, was not the cas^ 
(pp. 41-2). G. H. White. 

23 Weighton Roatl, Ancrley. 

Tn spite of T). L. G 's assertion that no 
instance of the assimiption of a captive's 
anns >>y his captor is known, there is sonu^ 
hf»raldic evidence in support of the custonu 
The Kynastons of Hordley bore the anns 
of AudJey in t]\o first quarter of their cost* 
and the traditional explanation of liSt 
anomaly is tluit the right to bear them wi» 
granted to their ancestor Sir Roger* iriwA

The si»' is lOinn, and it litis 2fil pa^. It 
fonns one of a scrips of clat-sicB similar to 
-the isfliiRH from tho Elzevir prpfiK. 

Wm. Jaooabd, Lieut. 

Xew Shakhtkre Society's PuBLirATioxs 
(12 S. iv. 77. 143. 170).— A detailed list of 
this wayward and puzzlinK scries will bo 
foimd set forth in convict order in my 
' Shakespeare Bibliopraphy,' Ifill, obtain- 
lable at ii>o>=t fair-sized public librarieH. 

Wm. J&ocard, IJout. 

Frkofrick thk Grkat and a Frenchman 
(12 S. iv, 133). — Aa this query has not ypt 
lii^'n an^wertnl, I would Huegent a Bcareli in 
some of tlio following books : Thonms 
Campbi'll, ' FriHlerick the Great, his Court 
and lii« Time ' (1842) ; Lord Dover, ' Lifi 
Fred.Tick II., King of Frussia ' (183.,. 
Camilla Pf^ianel, ' Histoire do Fr6d^rick lo 
Grand ' ; frater'g Ataiazitte, vol. :txij" 
(1S41) ; and last, but not least, Thackeray 
' Barry LjTidon.' L. Ij. K. 

" Bold Infidelity ! turn talk and 
dir" (12 S. iv. 102. 172, 2r.l).— Tlianke 
Lanpnshim eorrespondent, I am aiile to 
state that the Rev. Thomas SImttleworth 
Grini-=liaiv, Vioar lirst of Hiddenham, Bcdti, 
and 1 lien of Hurt on Latimer, Xorthanta, 
died at Hifldi-nham on Feb. 20. IS-'iO, 
aged 72. Thill makes him bom in 1778, 
«ight years after tho earliest dated onciiir- 
renee of this epitaph (1770), and finally 
proves that ho was not the author. 

J. W. FAWfETT. 

Oonsctf, CO. Durham, 

Newport (I. op \V.) and the Rkvoh-- 
TioN SoriKTY (12 S. iv. 28fl).— Will Cait. 
]''ini:nRA(E be kind enough to say if in 
the M.-;. hiHik he refers to there iwany in- 
-diuiLtion of (!onnesion — such as the pay- 
ment of afliliation tees, for in-^tanee 
between the Xi-wjiiirt Soe.ielv and tlic 
Revohilioii Sfxtiely in tho City of London J 
1 have some notes about the latter: and 
T wi-h to know if all the Revolution Soeieties 
in ()ie kingdom formed (mo body, whieh 
looked to London ns tlio <!cnttc of tlieir 



politinal activities, or if all of them were 
inde|>endent of one another. On Nov. 4, 
17HS, there was a eentenary meeting at the 
TjOndon I^lvem, when three hundred gentle- 
men !<nt down to dinner. Wax tliin a 
r(;pre.<<entativo gathering, or only a meeting 
of l.otidon members t Frank Penny. 

"SvLVESTEH nioht" (12 S. iv. 272).— 
No«' Year's Eve, IVr, .31, is in German; 
very generally known and spoken of as 
"Silvester Abend" or "Silvester Nacht." 
I do not reonll it^a being so named in English 
except by Thackeray. E. H. Blane. 

S("OAR : iTH Introduction into Eko-

Inicnaifylng Similar in hJutjlifih : Inaugural iJis- 
sf'rfation. Hy T. ililding Svartengren. (Lund, 
Gleenipska I'niversitetsbokhandeln.) 

Mr. Hir.DiN'is Svautknt.ukn*, who is a Swi-dish 
schoolmaster, has made a subst^uitial and very 
interesting addition to tlie study of English 
idiom ill his * Intensifying Similes,' which is .a 
collect ion of plirases like ''as keen as mustard." 
He speaks in his l*reface of tlu' ditHicultios of 
getting liohl r>f Knglish books and of verifying 
refen-nces. Ho has, however, be«*n assisted by 
our own columns arnl correspondents, and n'veals, 
in spite of his handicaps, a wiile knowledge of 
good Knglish sources — the novtds, for instance, 
of Mr. Hardy, tlie greatest living artist in the 
speech of tlio English |ieople. Ho lias also made 
oxcell«'nt use of the invalnabl*' stores of informa- 
tion to be found in tJ»e ' X.E.I).' ami th- * E.D.D.* 
The tyi)e of >imile whieJi h«' has studied reveals. 
like the proverb, the iiitelligonce ami ways (»f 
tliou^ht of homely England. Wit is seldom 
Achi«'ved. the <'xamj)l<s being of *a univei-sal sort, 
derived from common oxpi'Hence. Afr. Svarten- 
gren's deducti(»ns from tJio sindlos as to tho 
Englisli miinl ari» striking. We find the coiintry. 
not> th<' t«>\vn : no factories, mines, or mills ; 
but the farm and its animals, food and drink, 
and the sim])le details of the house. The t>T>ical 
Englishman f<'ai"s the Devil, keeps away fn«m 
politics, and has not nnieh poetry in him. Tliese 
crmcJusions ar»» tru<\ we ihink, to the English 
ch&ractvr — ot the poist, at any rate, lilodcrn 



indust Hes and machines and town life are making 
great alterations. 

How far some of the similes are derived from 
book-learning rather than observation of life it is 
difticult to decide. Human nature remains 
pretty much what it was, and various cnimtries 
an«i epochs offer instances of obvious comparisons 
which belonged and still belong to the world at 
large. Tennysf>n*s *' staffer than sleep," quoted 
r». 2»m, is a ciiixict translation <»f Virgirs " somno 
mollior," which again go<»s back to Theocritus. 
The av»Tage English mind prefers t<} say as soft 
as swansdown, or butter, or putty. 

Mr. Svartengren seems to have hurried over 
the pi-oduction of his book, which is a pity. 
Its arrangement is sometimes irritating ; and a 
wrong reference in one instance took us some 
time to corivct. His English is very ereditable 
t<» him, though — naturally enough — slips in 
spelling xu-e numei-ous. His judgment in philo- 
logical matt<«r-s is g<io<l, and his book as a whole 
is full of curious and inteivsting things, obscured 
often by popular misunderiittanding, vagueness ia 
allusion, or the lapse of time. The number of 
local charact«*rs who did odd things and cot into 
sayings is large. They play a bigger part m these 
suniles than the great events of liistorj-. Fashions 
of the piist nrtt revealed in the amountf c»f similes 
for melancholjk', and the virtues attributed to the 
milkmaid, which Mr. Svartengren linds excessive. 
Th<' fashions of the fiitun^ wem to depend on 
what }u'. calls the *' respect less " Amexican 
iiumour. *' Disivspcrctful " would be nearer 
curit^nt English. 

We shall <lo the best service, wo think, by 
noting points which have struck us in reading 
through th<' book. Home sui-prise is expressed 
at the phrase ** as merry as M<»mu8,** since thst 
god was a depredator ; but nearly all primitife 
humour is malicious- a s<'nsc of 'superiority in 
view of the defects of others. ** As vindictive if ! 
an elephant " is noted. Lytt<iu in * Kenebs " 
Chillingly ' has " as vindicfive as a panvt.'' 
TheiH? is an instructive little excursus on drinUBgi • 
of which the tinker and the forc>igner ai-e accosei. 
or a man in the next county. These compll-' 
ments between adjacent countit?s the pTCScnl 
revii'wer has often heard. *' As lazy as IaW' 
ronce " is a refei-c'nce tt) a tortured saint, wUdl 
is as odd as anything here. " As brave as a Hob " 
is not <a goo<l simile, suggests Sir Rider Hagpid 
in ' The Holy Flower,* one of his African stMfck 
The btdtabs he says, would suit the poll* 
tion better, and would be alliterative toob 
which is an important element in these ■<w| Pf- 
" As white as a sheet " reminds us that a blanlaA 
was originally a little white thing. ** As Uack 
iis <»bony," use<i of a negro, takes us back to' 
Lamb's phrase ** images of God in ebony," ^^Itili 
he took from Fuller in ' The Holy State and tlK 
Prfifane State,' bo<»k ii., chap. x'xi. " Ab qidek 
as thought " has not apparently been foimd 
between lt3o8 and Thackerav. This muatt ll» 
think, be an accidc*nt of search. Lately we baiV' 
come across " <piicker than thought *' in diMPi T» 
of ' The F-ist of tho Mohicans/ 1820. ^^ 

Regarding '* a dead lift, as axire as aextaBt" 
the compil(>r asks, '* In what way is the leillMl 
surer than oth(>r things or people ? '* Vfaff 
jihrase seems clearly to imply the seztoa^ dotitf 
at a grave, t^i which all must come. " ^ fMt W
