+"THAT SWINNEY."
+
+Junius thus wrote to H. S. Woodfall in a private note, to which Dr. Good
+has affixed the date July 21st, 1769 (vol. i. p. 174.*)
+
+    "That Swinney is a wretched but dangerous fool. He had the impudence to
+    go to Lord G. Sackville, whom he had never spoken to, and to ask him
+    whether or no he was the author of Junius: take care of him."
+
+This paragraph has given rise to a great deal of speculation, large
+inferences have been drawn from it, yet no one has satisfactorily answered
+the question, who was "that Swinney?"
+
+That neither Dr. Good nor Mr. George Woodfall, the editors of the edit. of
+1812, knew anything about him, is manifest from their own bald note of
+explanation, "A correspondent of the printers." Some reports say that he
+was a collector of news for the _Public Advertiser_, and subsequently a
+bookseller at Birmingham, but I never saw any one fact adduced tending to
+show that there was any person of that name so employed. Others that the
+Rev. Dr. Sidney Swinney was the party referred to: and Mr. Smith, in his
+excellent notes to the _Grenville Papers_, vol. iii. p. lxviii., _assumes_
+this to be the fact. I incline to agree with him, but have only inference
+to strengthen conjecture. What may be the value of that inference will
+appear in the progress of this inquiry, Who was Dr. Sidney Swinney?
+
+Reports collected by Mr. Butler, Mr. Barker, Mr. Coventry, and others, say
+that the Doctor had been chaplain to the Russian Embassy, chaplain to the
+Embassy at Constantinople, and chaplain to one of the British regiments
+serving in Germany. Mr. Falconer, in his _Secret Revealed_, p. 22., quotes
+a paragraph from one of Wray's letters to Lord Hardwick with reference to
+the proceedings at the Royal Society:
+
+    "Dr. Swinney, your Lordship's friend, presented his father-in-law
+    Howell's book."
+
+Swinney's father-in-law, here called Howell, was John Zephaniah Holwell, a
+remarkable man, whose name is intimately associated with the early history
+of British India, one of the few survivors of the Black Hole imprisonment,
+the successor of {214} Clive as governor, and a writer on many subjects
+connected with Hindoo antiquities. Swinney enrols him amongst his heroes,
+
+ "Holwell, Clive, York, Lawrence, Adams, Coote,
+  Of Draper, Bath-strung for his baffled suit."
+
+And he refers, in a note, to those
+
+    "Ungrateful monsters (heretofore in a certain trading company), who
+    have endeavoured to vilify and sully one of the brightest characters
+    that ever existed."
+
+I learn farther, from a volume of _Fugitive Pieces_, published by Dr.
+Swinney, that he was the son of Major Mathew Swinney, whom after his
+flourishing fashion he calls on another occasion "Mathew Swinney of
+immortal memory;" from one of his dedications that the Doctor himself was
+educated at Eton; from the books of the Royal Society that he was of Clare
+Hall, Cambridge; from dates and dedications, that from 1764 to 1768, he was
+generally resident at Scarborough; and from the _Gentleman's Magazine_,
+that he died there 12th November, 1783.
+
+That Swinney had been chaplain to the Russian Embassy I have no reason to
+believe; but that he had been in the East for a time, possibly as chaplain
+to the Embassy at Constantinople, is asserted in the brief biographical
+notice in the _Gentleman's Magazine_, and would _seem to be proved_ by a
+work which he published in 1769, called--
+
+    "A Tour through some parts of the Levant: in which is included An
+    Account of the Present State of the Seven Churches in Asia. Also a
+    brief Explanation of the Apocalypse. By Sidney Swinney, D.D."
+
+Nothing, however, can be inferred from a title-page of Swinney's. Here we
+have two or three distinct works referred to:--_A Tour_, including "An
+Account of the Seven Churches," and the "Explanation of the Apocalypse."
+Now I must direct attention to the fact, that from the peculiar punctuation
+and phraseology--the full-stop after Asia in this title-page--it may have
+been Swinney's intention to indicate, without asserting, that the Account
+of the Apocalypse _only_ was by Sidney Swinney. If so, though Swinney's
+name alone figures in the title-page of the work, he is responsible only
+for one or two notes!
+
+I would not have written conjecturally on this subject if I could have
+avoided it; but though Swinney was a F.A.S. F.R.S., and though the work is
+dedicated to the Fellows of those Societies, no copy of it is to be found
+in the libraries of either, or in the British Museum. I cannot, therefore,
+be sure that my own copy is perfect. What that copy contains is thus set
+forth in half a dozen lines of introduction:
+
+    "Before I [S. S.] enter upon the more important part of my dissertation
+    [The Explanation of the Apocalypse], it may not be improper to give you
+    some account of the present state of the Seven Churches in Asia, as
+    they are, _which was communicated to me_ by a certain _friend of mine_,
+    in the description of a short tour which _he_ made through the
+    principal parts of the Levant: should they be accompanied with a few
+    casual notes _of my own_, I trust the work will not be less acceptable
+    to you on that account."
+
+It must be obvious, after this declaration, that the _Tour_ set forth so
+conspicuously in the title-page, was not written by Swinney. Now the
+"Itinerary" which follows is advowedly "wrote by _the author of the
+preceding account_," and this brings the reader and the work itself to "The
+End!"
+
+The truth I suspect to have been this:--Swinney was not prudent and was
+poor, and raised money occasionally, after the miserable fashion of the
+time, by publishing books on subscription, and receiving subscriptions in
+anticipation of publication.
+
+About this time, from 1767 to 1769, he published a _Sermon_; _The Ninth
+Satire of Horace_, a meaningless trifle of a hundred lines, swollen, by
+printing the original and notes, into a quarto; a volume of _Fugitive
+Pieces_; and the first canto of _The Battle of Minden, a Poem in three
+Books, enriched with critical Notes by Two Friends, and with explanatory
+Notes by the Author_. Of the latter work, as of the _Tour_, I have never
+seen but one copy, a splendid specimen of typography, splendidly bound,
+containing the first and second canto. Whether the third canto was ever
+published is to me doubtful; some of your correspondents may be able to
+give you information. My own impression is that it was not, and for the
+following reasons.
+
+Swinney, it appears, had received subscriptions for the work, and promised
+in his prospectus _a plan of the battle_, and _portraits_ of the heroes,
+which the work does not contain. "However, to make some little amends" to
+his "generous subscribers," Swinney announces his intention to present them
+with "_three_ books instead of _one_."
+
+The first book is dedicated to Earl Waldegrave, who commanded "the six
+British regiments of infantry" on the "ever memorable 1st August, 1759,"
+and a note affixed states that "Book the Second" will be published on 1st
+January, and "Book the Third" on 1st of August.
+
+But the public, as Swinney says, were kept "in suspense" almost three years
+for the second book, which was not published until 1772; and in the
+dedication of this second book, also to Earl Waldegrave, Swinney says:
+
+    "Doubtless many of my subscribers have thought me very unmindful of the
+    promise I made them in my printed proposal, in which I undertook to
+    publish my poem out of hand. Ill health has been the sole cause of my
+    disappointing their expectations. A fever of the nerves ... for these
+    four years, has rendered me incapable.... In my original proposals I
+    undertook to publish this work in two books. [In the introduction he
+    says, as I have just quoted, _one_ book.] Poetical {215} matter hath
+    increased upon me to such a degree, in the genial climate of Languedoc,
+    as to have enabled me to compose several more books on this interesting
+    subject, all which I purpose presenting my subscribers with at the
+    original price of half a guinea.... Many months ago this Second Book
+    was printed off; but on my arrival in town from Montauban (whither I
+    purpose to return), I found there were so many faults and blunders in
+    it throughout, that I was under the necessity of condemning five
+    hundred copies to the inglorious purpose of defending pye bottoms from
+    the dust of an oven.... Profit, my Lord, has not been my motive for
+    publishing: if it had, I should be egregiously disappointed, for
+    instead of gaining I shall be a considerable loser by the publication;
+    and yet many of my subscribers have _given me four, five, and six times
+    over and above the subscription-price for my Poem. How even the
+    remaining books will see the light must depend entirely upon my
+    pecuniary, not my poetical abilities_. The work is well nigh completed;
+    but not one solitary brother have I throughout the airy regions of Grub
+    Street who is poorer than I. It is not impossible, however, but when
+    _some of my partial friends shall know this_, they may _enable me by
+    their bounty_ to publish out of hand."
+
+This leads me to doubt whether the third book was ever published, for I
+think the most "partial" of his friends--those who had given "four, five,
+and six times over and above the subscription price"--must have had enough
+in two books. If it were not published, it is a curious fact that, in a
+poem called _The Battle of Minden_, the battle of Minden is not mentioned;
+though not more extraordinary perhaps than the omissions of the
+"Explanation of the Apocalypse" in his previous work.
+
+I come now to the question, Why did Junius speak so passionately and
+disrespectfully of Swinney, and what are the probabilities that Swinney had
+never before (July) 1769 spoken to Lord G. Sackville? These I must defer
+till next week.

+MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTION IN PETERBOROUGH CATHEDRAL.
+
+The following Notes occur on a fly-leaf at the end of a copy of Gunton's
+_History of Peterborough Cathedral_, and appear to have been written soon
+after that book was printed:
+
+    "Among other things omitted in this history, I cannot but take notice
+    of one ancient inscription upon a tomb in y^e body of the church,
+    written in old Saxon letters, as followeth:
+
+    [Cross] 'WS : KI : PAR : CI : PASSEZ : PVR : LE : ALME : ESTRAVNGE : DE
+    : WATERVILLE : PRIEZ.'
+
+    "This inscription may seem to challenge some relation to William de
+    Waterville, one of the abbots of this church. (See p. 23.)"
+
+    "On Sennour Gascelin de Marrham's tomb, mentioned p. 94., these letters
+    seem to be still legible:
+
+    'CI : GIST : EDOVN : GASCELIN : SENNOVR : DE MARRHAM : IADIS : DE : RI
+    : ALM.. ^{DI} EV EST MERCIS : PATER : NOSTER.'"
+
+    "In St. Oswald's Chapel, on y^e ground round the verge of a stone:
+
+    'HIC IACET COR.... ROBERTI DE SVTTON ABBATIS ISTIVS MONASTERII CVIVS
+    ANIMA REQVIESCAT IN PACE. AMEN.'"
+
+    "In y^e churchyard is this inscription:
+
+    [Cross] 'AŃA IOANNIS DE S[=C]O IVONE QVO[=A] P[IO]RIS PMA [=A] M
+    [=D]IIII PACE REQVIESCAT. AMEN.'
+
+    "This may probably relate to Ivo, sub-prior of this monastery, whose
+    anniversary was observed in y^e Kalends of March. (See page 324. of
+    this book.)"
+
+    "In y^e churchyard:
+
+     'Joannes Pocklington, S. S. Theologię doctor, obiit
+      Nov. 14, A. D^i. 1642.'
+
+     'Anne Pocklington, 1655.'
+
+     'Mary, y^e wife of John Towers, late Lord Bp. of

+
+_Superstition of the Cornish Miners_ (Vol. viii., p. 7.).--I cannot find
+the information desired by your correspondent in the Cornish antiquaries,
+and have in vain consulted other works likely to explain this tradition;
+but the remarks now offered will perhaps be interesting in reference to the
+_nation_ alluded to. The Carthaginians being of the same race, manners, and
+religion as the Phoenicians, there are no particular data by which we can
+ascertain the time of their first trading to the British coast for the
+commodity in such request among the traders of the East. The genius of
+Carthage being more martial than that of Tyre, whose object was more
+commerce than conquest, it is not improbable that the former might by force
+of arms have established a settlement in the Cassiterides, and by this
+means have secured that monopoly of tin which the Phoenicians and their
+colonies indubitably enjoyed for several centuries. Norden, in his
+_Antiquities of Cornwall_, mentions it as a tradition universally received
+by the inhabitants, that their tin mines were formerly wrought by the Jews.
+He adds that these old works are there at this day called Attal Sarasin,
+the ancient {216} cast-off works of the Saracens, in which their tools are
+frequently found. Miners are not accustomed to be very accurate in
+distinguishing traders of foreign nations, and these Jews and Saracens have
+probably a reference to the old merchants from Spain and Africa; and those
+employed by them might possibly have been Jews escaped the horrors of
+captivity and the desolation which about that period befel their country.
+
+    "The Jews," says Whitaker (_Origin of Arianism_, p. 334.), "denominated
+    themselves, and were denominated by the Britons of Cornwall,
+    _Saracens_, as the genuine progeny of Sarah. The same name, no doubt,
+    carried the same reference with it as borne by the genuine, and as
+    usurped by the spurious, offspring of Abraham."

+
+_Northamptonshire Folk Lore_ (Vol. vii., p. 146.).--In Norfolk, a ring made
+from nine sixpences freely given by persons of the opposite sex is
+considered a charm against epilepsy. I have seen nine sixpences brought to
+a silversmith, with a request that he would make them into a ring; but
+13½d. was not tendered to him for making, nor do I think that any
+threehalfpences are collected for payment. After the patient had left the
+shop, the silversmith informed me that such requests were of frequent
+occurrence, and that he supplied the patients with thick silver rings, but
+never took the trouble to manufacture them from the sixpences.
+
+A similar superstition supposes that the sole of the left shoe of a person
+of the same age, but opposite sex, to the patient, reduced to ashes is a
+cure for St. Anthony's fire. I have seen it applied with success, but
+suppose its efficacy is due to some astringent principle in the ashes.

+
+SHAKSPEARE CORRESPONDENCE.
+
+_On Two Passages in Shakspeare._--Taking up a day or two since a Number of
+"N. & Q.," my attention was drawn to a new attempt to give a solution of
+the difficulty which has been the torment of commentators in the following
+passage from the Third Act of _Romeo and Juliet_:
+
+ "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds,
+  Towards Phoebus' mansion; such a waggoner
+  As Phaeton would whip you to the West,
+  And bring in cloudy night immediately.--
+  Spread thy close curtain, love-performing Night,
+  That _runaways'_ eyes may wink, and Romeo
+  Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen."
+
+"Runaways'" being a manifest absurdity, the recent editors have substituted
+"unawares," an uncouth alteration, which, though it has a glimmering of
+sense, appears to me almost as absurd as the word it supplies. In this
+dilemma your correspondent MR. SINGER ingeniously suggests the true reading
+to be,--
+
+ "That _rumourers'_ eyes may wink, and Romeo
+  Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen."
+
+No doubt this is a felicitous emendation, though I think it may be fairly
+objected that a rumourer, being one who deals in what he hears, as opposed
+to an observer, who reports what he sees, there is a certain
+inappropriateness in speaking of a rumourer's eyes. Be this as it may, I
+beg to suggest another reading, which has the merit of having spontaneously
+occurred to me on seeing the word "runaways'" in your correspondent's
+paper, as if obviously suggested by the combination of letters in that
+word. I propose that the passage should be read thus:
+
+ "Spread thy close curtain, love-performing Night,
+  That _rude day's_ eyes may wink, and Romeo
+  Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen."
+
+A subsequent reference to Juliet's speech has left no doubt in my mind that
+this is the true reading, and so obviously so, as to make it a wonder that
+it should have been overlooked. She first asks the "fiery-footed steeds" to
+bring in "cloudy night," then night to close her curtain (that day's eyes
+may wink), that darkness may come, under cover of which Romeo may hasten to
+her. In the next two lines she shows why this darkness is propitious, and
+then, using an unwonted epithet, invokes night to give her the opportunity
+of darkness:
+
+             "Come, _civil_ night,
+  Thou sober suited matron all in black,
+  And learn me how to lose a winning game," &c.
+
+The peculiar and unusual epithet "civil," here applied to night, at once
+assured me of the accuracy of the proposed reading, it having evidently
+suggested itself as the antithesis of "rude" just before applied to day;
+the civil, accommodating, concealing night being thus contrasted with the
+unaccommodating, revealing day. It is to be remarked, moreover, that as
+this epithet _civil_ is, through its ordinary signification, brought into
+connexion with what precedes it, so is it, through its unusual meaning of
+_grave_, brought into connexion with what follows, it thus furnishing that
+equivocation of sense of which our great dramatist is so fond, rarely
+missing an opportunity of "paltering with us in a double sense."
+
+I think, therefore, I may venture to offer you the proposed emendation as
+rigorously fulfilling all the requirements of the text, while at the same
+time it necessitates a very trifling literal disturbance of the old
+reading, since by the simple change of the letters _naw_ into _ded_, we
+convert "runaways'" into "rude day's," of which it was a very easy
+misprint.
+
+Having offered you an emendation of my own, I cannot miss the opportunity
+of sending you {217} another, for which I am indebted to a critical student
+of Shakspeare, my friend Mr. W. R. Grove, the Queen's Counsel. In _All's
+Well that ends Well_, the third scene of the Second Act opens with the
+following speech from Lafeu:
+
+    "They say miracles are past; and we have our philosophical persons to
+    make modern and familiar things, supernatural and causeless. Hence is
+    it that we make trifles of terrors; ensconcing ourselves in a seeming
+    knowledge when we should submit ourselves to an unknown fear."
+
+On reading this passage as thus printed, it will be seen that the two
+sentences of which it is composed are in direct contradiction to each
+other; the first asserting that we have philosophers who give a causeless
+and supernatural character to things ordinary and familiar: the second
+stating as the result of this, "that we make trifles of terrors," whereas
+the tendency would necessarily be to make "terrors of trifles." The
+confusion arises from the careless pointing of the first sentence. By
+simply shifting the comma at present after "things," and placing it after
+"familiar," the discrepancy between the two sentences disappears, as also
+between the two members of the first sentence, which are now at variance.
+It should be pointed thus:
+
+    "They say miracles are past; and we have our philosophical persons to
+    make modern and familiar, things supernatural and causeless."
+
+It is singular that none of the editors should have noticed this defect,
+which I have no doubt will hereafter be removed by the adoption of a simple
+change, that very happily illustrates the importance of correct
+punctuation.

+_Shakspeare's Skull_.--As your publication has been the medium of many
+valuable comments upon Shakspeare, and interesting matter connected with
+him, I am induced to solicit information, if you will allow me, on the
+following subject. I have the _Works of Shakspeare_, which being in one
+volume 8vo., I value as being more portable than any other edition. It was
+published by Sherwood without any date affixed, but probably about 1825.
+There is a memoir prefixed by Wm. Harvey, Esq., in which, p. xiii., it is
+stated that while a vault was being made close to Shakspeare's, when Dr.
+Davenport was rector, a young man perceiving the tomb of Shakspeare open,
+introduced himself so far within the vault that he could have brought away
+the skull, but he was deterred from doing so by the anathema inscribed on
+the monument, of--
+
+    "Curs'd be he that moves my bones."
+
+This is given upon the authority of Dr. Nathan Drake's work on Shakspeare,
+in two vols. 4to. Now in this work much is given which is copied into the
+memoir, but I do not there find this anecdote, and perhaps some reader of
+"N. & Q." may supply this deficiency, and state where I may find it. I may
+be allowed to state, that Pope's skull was similarly stolen and another
+substituted.
+
+I annex Wheler's remark that no violation of the grave had, up to the time
+of his work, taken place.
+
+    "Through a lapse of nearly two hundred years have his ashes remained
+    undisturbed, and it is to be hoped no sacrilegious hand will ever be
+    found to violate the sacred repository."--_History of
+    Stratford-upon-Avon_, by R. B. Wheler (circa 1805?), 8vo.

+_On a Passage in "Macbeth."_--MR. SINGLETON (Vol. vii., p. 404.) says,
+"Vaulting ambition, that _o'erleaps_ itself," is nonsense--the thing is
+impossible; and proposes that "vaulting ambition" should "rest his hand
+upon the pommel, and _o'erleap_ the saddle (sell)," a thing not uncommon in
+the feats of horsemanship.
+
+Did MR. SINGLETON never _o'erleap_ himself, and be too late--later than
+_himself_ intended? Did he never, in his younger days, amuse himself with a
+_soprasalto_; or with what Donne calls a "vaulter's sombersault?" Did he
+never hear of any little plunderer, climbing a wall, _o'erreaching_ himself
+to pluck an apple, and falling on the other side, into the hands of the
+gardener? "By like," says Sir Thomas More, "the manne there _overshotte_
+himself."
+
+What was the _manne_ about? Attempting such a perilous gambol, perhaps, as
+correcting Shakspeare.
+
+To {overleap, overreach, overshoot} himself are merely, to {leap, reach,
+shoot}, over or beyond the mark himself intended.

+
+_Lemon-juice administered in Gout and Rheumatism._--At a time when
+lemon-juice seems to be frequently administered in gout and rheumatism, as
+though it were an entirely new remedy, I have been somewhat amused at the
+following passage, which may also interest some of your readers; it occurs
+in _Scelta di Lettere Familiari degli Autori pił celebri ad uso degli
+studiosi della lingua Italiana_, p. 36., in a letter "Di Don Francesco a
+Teodoro Villa":
+
+    "Io non posso star meglio di quel che sto, e forse perchč uso di spesso
+    il bagno freddo, e beo limonata a pranzo e a cena da molti mesi. Questa
+    č la mia quotidiana bevanda, e dacche mi ci sono messo, m' ha fatto un
+    bene che non si puo dire. Di quelle doglie di capo, {218} che un tempo
+    mi sconquassavano le tempie, non ne sento pił una. Le vertigini, che un
+    tratto mi favorivano sģ di spesso, se ne sono ite. Sino un reumatismo,
+    che m' aveva afferrato per un braccio, s' e dileguato, cosģ ch'io farei
+    ora alla lotta col pił valente marinaro calabrese che sia. L' appetito
+    mio pizzica del vorace. Che buona cosa il sugo d' un limone spremato
+    nell' acqua, e indolciato con un po' di zucchero! Fa di provarlo,
+    Teodoro. Chi sa che non assesti il capo e lo stomaco auche a te."

+  Lower your topsails and take them in:
+  If the wind comes before the rain,
+  Lower your topsails and hoist them again."
+
+The expressions in the latter two are maritime, and the rhymes not very
+choice; but they hold equally in terrestrial matters, and I have seldom
+found them wrong.

+_Dog Latin_.--The answer of one of your late correspondents (E. M. B., Vol.
+vii., p. 622.) on the subject of "Latin--Latiner," has revived a Query in
+your First Volume (p. 230.) as to the origin of this expression which does
+not appear to have been answered. I do not remember having seen any
+explanation of the term, but I have arrived at one for myself, and present
+it to your readers for what it is worth. Nothing, it must be admitted, can
+be more inconsistent with the usual forms of language than the Latin of
+medięval periods; it is often, in fact, not Latin at all, but merely a
+Latin form given to simple English or other words, and admitting of the
+greatest variety. Now of all animals the distinctions of breed are perhaps
+more numerous in the canine race than any other. The word "mongrel,"
+originally applied to one of these quadruped combinations of variety, has
+long been used to signify anything in which mixture of class existed,
+especially of a debasing kind, to which such mixture generally tends.
+Nothing could be more appropriate than the application of the term to the
+"infima latinitas" of the Middle Ages; and from "mongrel" the transition to
+the name of the genus from that of the degenerate species appears to me to
+be very easy, though fanciful.

+_Thomas Wright of Durham_.--In the _Philosophical Magazine_ for April,
+1848, I gave an account of the "Original Theory or new Hypothesis of the
+Universe" of Thomas Wright, whose anticipations of modern speculation on
+the milky way, the central sun, and some other points, make him one of the
+most remarkable astronomical thinkers of his day. In the biography in the
+_Gentleman's Magazine_ for 1793, he is described as struggling for a
+livelihood when a young man, and no account is given of the manner in which
+he obtained the handsome competence with which he emerges in 1756, or
+thereabouts. A few days after my account was published, I was informed (by
+Captain James, R.E.) that a large four-foot orrery, constructed by Wright
+for the Royal Academy at Portsmouth, was still in that town; and that by
+the title of "J. Harrises Use of the Globes" it appears that he (Wright)
+kept his shop at the _Orrery_, near Water Lane, Fleet Street (No. 136),
+under the title of instrument-maker to his Majesty. In an edition of Harris
+(the 8th, 1767), which I lately met with, the above is described as "late
+the shop of Thomas Wright," &c. By the advertisements which this work
+contains, Wright must have had an extensive business as a philosophical
+instrument-maker. The omission in the biography is a strange one. Possibly
+some farther information may fall in the way of some of your readers.

+
+LITTLECOTT--SIR JOHN POPHAM.
+
+Every one knows the tradition attached to the manor of Littlecott in
+Wiltshire, and the alleged means by which Chief Justice Sir John Popham
+acquired its possession. It is told by Aubrey, Sir Walter Scott, and many
+others, and is too notorious to be here repeated. Let me ask you or your
+learned correspondents whether there exists any refutation of a charge so
+seriously detrimental to the character of any judge, and so inconsistent
+with the reputation which Chief Justice Popham enjoyed among his
+cotemporaries? See Lord Ellesmere's notice of him in the case of the
+Postnati (_State Trials_, ii. 669.), and Sir Edward Coke's flattering
+picture of him at the end of Sir Drew Drury's case (_Reports_, vi. 75.).
+Are there any records showing that a Darell was ever in fact arraigned on a
+charge of murder, and the name of the judge who presided at the trial? Is
+the date known of the death of the last Darell who possessed the estate, or
+that of Sir John Popham's acquisition of it? The discovery of these might
+throw great light on the subject, and possibly afford a complete
+contradiction.
+
+Sir Francis Bacon, in his argument against Sir John Hollis and others for
+traducing public justice, states that--
+
+    "Popham, a great judge in his time, was complained of by petition to
+    Queen Elizabeth; it was committed {219} to four privy councillors, but
+    the same was found to be slanderous, and the parties punished in the
+    court."--_State Trials_, vol. ii. p. 1029.
+
+If this petition could be discovered, and it should turn out that the
+slander complained of in it had reference to this story, the investigation
+which it then underwent by the four privy councillors, and the chief
+justice's enjoyment of his high office for so many subsequent years, would
+go far to prove the utter falsehood of the charge. This is a "consummation
+devoutly to be wished" by every one who feels an interest in the purity of
+the bench, and particularly by the present possessors of the estate, who
+must be anxious for their ancestor's fame.
+
+Your useful publication has acted the part of the "detective police" in the
+elucidation of many points of history less interesting than this, and I
+trust you will consider the case curious enough to justify a close
+examination.

+EARLY EDITION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.
+
+I should be greatly obliged if I could obtain through "N. & Q." when,
+where, and by whom an imperfect black-letter copy of the New Testament,
+lately come into my possession, was printed, and also who was the
+translator of it.
+
+It is bound in boards, has three thongs round which the sheets are
+stitched, seems never to have been covered with cloth, leather, or other
+material like our modern books, has had clasps, and is four inches long and
+two inches thick.
+
+The chapters are divided generally into four or five parts by means of the
+first letters of the alphabet. The letters are neither placed equidistant,
+nor do they always mark a fresh paragraph.
+
+It is not divided into verses. There are a few marginal references, and the
+chapter and letter of the parallel passages are given.
+
+Crosses are placed at the heads of most chapters, and also throughout the
+text, without much apparent regularity. It contains a few rude cuts of the
+Apostles, &c. The Epistles of St. Peter and St. John are placed before that
+to the Hebrews.
+
+Letters are frequently omitted in the spelling, and this is indicated by a
+dash placed over the one preceding the omitted letter. A slanting mark (/)
+is the most frequent stop used. I will transcribe a few lines exactly as
+they occur, only not using the black-letter.

+Minor Queries with Answers.
+
+_Brasenose, Oxford_.--I am anxious to learn the origin and meaning of the
+word _Brasenose_. I have somewhere heard or read (though I cannot recall
+where) that it was a Saxon word, _brasen haus_ or "brewing-house;" and that
+the college was called by this name, because it was built on the site of
+the brewing-house of King Alfred. All that Ingram says on the subject is
+this:
+
+    "This curious appellation, which, whatever was the origin of it, has
+    been perpetuated by the symbol of a brazen nose here and at Stamford,
+    occurs with the modern orthography, but in one undivided word, so early
+    as 1278, in an Inquisition, now printed in the _Hundred Rolls_, though
+    quoted by Wood from the manuscript record."--See his _Memorials of
+    Oxford_.
+
+CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A.
+
+    [Our correspondent will find the notice of King Alfred's brew-house in
+    the review of Ingram's _Memorials_ in the _British Critic_, vol. xxiv.
+    p. 139. The writer says, "There is a spot in the centre of the city
+    where Alfred is said to have lived, and which may be called the native
+    place or river-head of three separate societies still existing,
+    University, Oriel, and Brasenose. Brasenose claims his palace, Oriel
+    his church, and University his school or academy. Of these Brasenose
+    College is still called, in its formal style, 'the King's Hall,' which
+    is the name by which Alfred himself, in his laws, calls his palace; and
+    it has its present singular name from a corruption of _brasinium_, or
+    _brasin-huse_, as having been originally located in that part of the
+    royal mansion which was devoted to the then important accommodation of
+    a brew-house." Churton, in his _Life of Bishop Smyth_, p. 277., thus
+    accounts for the origin of the word:--"Brasen Nose Hall, as the Oxford
+    antiquary has shown, may be traced as far back as the time of Henry
+    III., about the middle of the thirteenth century; and early in the
+    succeeding reign, 6th Edward I., 1278, it was known by the name of
+    Brasen Nose Hall, which peculiar name was undoubtedly owing, as the
+    same author observes, to the circumstance of a nose of brass affixed to
+    the gate. It is presumed, however, this conspicuous appendage of the
+    portal was not formed of the mixed metal, which the word now denotes,
+    but the genuine produce of the mine; as is the nose, or rather face, of
+    a lion or leopard still remaining at Stamford, which also gave name to
+    the edifice it adorned. And hence, when Henry VIII. debased the coin,
+    by an alloy of _copper_, it was a common remark or proverb, that
+    'Testons were gone to Oxford, to study in _Brasen_ Nose.'"]

+    [In Pepys's _Diary_, vol. i. p. 2. edit. 1848, occurs the following

+    He was beyond doubt the son of Emmanuel Downing, a London merchant, who
+    went to New England. It is not improbable that Emmanuel was a near

+    and a preacher occasionally. He was sent by Cromwell to Holland, as
+    resident there. About the Restoration, he espoused the King's cause,
+    and was knighted and elected M. P. for Morpeth, in 1661. Afterwards,
+    becoming Secretary to the Treasury and Commissioner of the Customs, he
+    was in 1663 created a Baronet of East Hatley, in Cambridgeshire, and
+    was again sent ambassador to Holland. His grandson of the same name,
+    who died in 1749, was the founder of Downing College, Cambridge. The
+    title became extinct in 1764, upon the decease of Sir John Gerrard
+    Downing, the last heir male of the family." According to Hutchinson,

+_Unkid_.--Can any of your readers inform me as to the derivation of this
+word, or give any instance of its recent use? I have frequently heard it in
+my childhood (the early part of the present century) among the rural
+population of Oxon and Berks. It was generally applied to circumstances of
+a melancholy or distressing character, but sometimes used to express a
+peculiar state of feeling, being apparently intended to convey nearly the
+same meaning as the _ennui_ of the French. I {222} recollect an allusion to
+the phrase somewhere in Miss Mitford's writings, who speaks of it as
+peculiar to Berks; but as I was then ignorant of Captain Cuttle's maxim, I
+did not "make a note of it," so that I am unable to lay my hand on the
+passage.

+    miserable. 'I was so _unked_ when ye war away.' 'A _unked_ house,' &c.

+_Pilgrim's Progress_.--The common editions contain a _third_ part, setting

+modern editions. Can any of your readers explain by whom this addition was
+made, and all about it? The subject of the _Pilgrim's Progress_
+generally--the stories of a similar kind which are said to have
+preceded--especially in Catholic times--the history of its editions and

+    [Mr. George Offor, in his Introduction to _The Pilgrim's Progress_,

+    part as a forgery:--"In a very few years after Bunyan's death, this
+    third part made its appearance; and although the title does not
+    directly say that it was written by Bunyan, yet it was at first
+    generally received as such. In 1695, it reached a second edition; and a
+    sixth in 1705. In 1708, it was denounced in the title to the ninth
+    edition of the second part, by a 'Note, _the third part, suggested to
+    be J. Bunyan's, is an imposture_.' The author of this forgery is as yet
+    unknown." Mr. Offor has also devoted fifty pages of his Introduction to
+    the conjectured prototypes of Bunyan's _Pilgrim's Progress_. He says,
+    "Every assertion or suggestion that came to my knowledge has been
+    investigated, and the works referred to have been analysed. And beyond
+    this, every allegorical work that could be found, previous to the
+    eighteenth century, has been examined in all the European languages,
+    and the result is a perfect demonstration of the complete originality

+CRANMER AND CALVIN.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 182.)
+
+A correspondent who seems to delight in sibilants, signing, himself
+S. Z. Z. S., invites me to "_preserve_, in your columns, the letter of
+Calvin to Cranmer, of which Dean Jenkyns has only given extracts," as
+noticed by me in your Vol. vii., p. 621.
+
+I would not shrink from the trouble of transcribing the whole letter, if a
+complete copy were only to be found in the short-lived columns of a
+newspaper, as inserted in the _Record_ of May 15, 1843, by Merle d'Aubigné;
+but the Dean has given a reference to the volume in which both the letters
+he cites are preserved and accessible, viz. _Calvin Epistles_, pp. 134,
+135., Genev. 1616. {223}
+
+S. Z. Z. S. justly observes that there are two points to be distinguished:
+first, Cranmer's wish that Calvin should assist in a general union of the
+churches protesting against Romish errors; second, Calvin's offer to assist
+in settling the Church of England. He adds, "The latter was declined; and
+the reason is demonstrated in Archbishop Laurence's _Bampton Lectures_." I
+neither possess those lectures, nor the volume of Calvin's epistles; but
+all I have seen of the correspondence between him and Cranmer, in the
+Parker Society's editions of Cranmer, and of original letters between
+1537-58, and in Jenkyns' _Remains of Cranmer_, indisposes me to believe
+that Calvin made any "offer to assist in settling the Church of England."
+It appears from Dean Jenkyns' note, vol. i. p. 346., that Archbishop
+Laurence made a mistake in the order of the correspondence, calculated to
+mislead himself; and as to Heylyn's assertion, _Eccles. Restaur._, p. 65.,
+that Calvin made such an offer and "that the Archbishop (Cranmer) _knew_
+the man and refused his offer," the Dean says:
+
+    "He gives no authority for the later part of his statement, and it can
+    hardly be reconciled with Cranmer's letter to Calvin of March 20,
+    1552."
+
+The contemptuous expression, he "knew the man and refused his offer," is,
+in fact, utterly irreconcilable with Cranmer's language in all his three
+letters to Melancthon, to Bullinger, and to Calvin (Nos. 296, 297, 298. of
+Parker Society's edition of _Cranmer's Remains_, and Nos. 283, 284, 285. of
+Jenkyns' edition), where he tells each of the other two that he had written
+to Calvin from his desire--
+
+    "Ut in Anglia, aut alibi, doctissimorum et _optimorum_ virorum synodus
+    convocaretur, in qua de puritate ecclesiasticę doctrinę, et pręcipue de
+    consensu controversię sacramentarię tractaretur."
+
+Or, as he said to Calvin himself:
+
+    "Ut docti et pii viri, qui alios antecellunt eruditione et judicio,
+    convenirent."
+
+Your correspondent seems to have used the word "demonstrated" rather in a
+surgical than in its mathematical sense.
+
+Having taken up my pen to supply you with an answer to this historical
+inquiry, I may as well notice some other articles in your No. 199. For
+example, in p. 167., L. need not have referred your readers to Halliwell's
+_Researches in Archaic Language_ for an explanation of Bacon's word
+"bullaces." The word may be seen in Johnson's _Dictionary_, with the
+citation from Bacon, and instead of vaguely calling it "a small black and
+tartish plum," your botanical readers know it as the _Prunus insititia_.
+
+Again, p. 173., J. M. may like to know farther, that the Duke of
+Wellington's clerical brother was entered on the boards of St. John's
+College, Cambridge, as Wesley, where the spelling must have been dictated
+either by himself, or by the person authorised to desire his admission. It
+continued to be spelt Wesley in the Cambridge annual calendars as late as
+1808, but was altered in that of 1809 to Wellesley. The alteration was
+probably made by the desire of the family, and without communicating such
+desire to the registrary of the university. For it appears in the edition
+of _Graduati Cantabrigienses_, printed in 1823, as follows:
+
+    "Wesley, Gerard Valerian, Coll. Joh. A. M. 1792. Comitis de Mornington,
+    Fil. nat. 4^{tus}."
+
+In p. 173., C. M. INGLEBY may like to know, as a clue to the origin of his
+_apussee and_, that I was taught at school, sixty years ago, to call & _And
+per se_, whilst some would call it _And-per-se-and_.
+
+In the same page, the inquirer B. H. C. respecting the word _mammon_, may
+like to know that the history of that word has been given at some length in
+p. 1. to p. 68. of the Parker Society's edition of Tyndale's _Parable of
+the wicked Mammon_, where I have stated that it occurs in a form identical
+with the English in the Chaldee Targum of Onkelos on Exod. viii. 21., and
+in that of Jonathan on Judges, v. 9., as equivalent to riches; and that in
+the Syriac translation it occurs in a form identical with [Greek: Mamōna],
+in Exod. xxi. 30., as a rendering for [Hebrew: K\holam\P\segol\R], the
+price of satisfaction. In B. H. C.'s citation from Barnes, _even_ seems a
+misprint for _ever_. The Jews did not again fall into actual idolatry after
+the Babylonish captivity; but we are told that in the sight of God
+covetousness is idolatry.

+BARNACLES.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 124.)
+
+A Querist quoting from Porta's _Natural Magic_ the vulgar error that "not
+only in Scotland, but in the river Thames, there is a kind of shell-fish
+which get out of their shells and grow to be ducks, or such like birds,"
+asks, what could give rise to such an absurd belief? Your correspondent
+quotes from the English translation of the _Magia Naturalis_, A.D. 1658;
+but the tradition is very ancient, Porta the author having died in 1515
+A.D. You still find an allusion in _Hudibras_ to those--
+
+ "Who from the most refin'd of saints,
+  As naturally grow miscreants,
+  As _barnacles_ turn Soland geese,
+  In th' islands of the Orcades."
+
+The story has its origin in the peculiar formation of the little mollusc
+which inhabits the multivalve shell, the _Pentalasmis anatifera_, which by
+a fleshy peduncle attaches itself by one end to the bottoms of ships or
+floating timber, whilst from the other {224} there protrudes a bunch of
+curling and fringe-like cirrhi, by the agitation of which it attracts and
+collects its food. These cirrhi so much resemble feathers, as to have
+suggested the leading idea of a bird's tail: and hence the construction of
+the remainder of the fable, which is thus given with grave minuteness in
+_The Herbal, or General Historie of Plants_, gathered by John Gerarde,
+Master in Chirurgerie: London, 1597:
+
+    "What our eyes have seen, and our hands have touched, we shall declare.
+    There is a small island in Lancashire called the Pile of Foulders,
+    wherein are found the broken pieces of old and bruised ships, some
+    whereof have been cast thither by shipwreck; and also the trunks or
+    bodies, with the branches of old and rotten trees, cast up there
+    likewise, whereon is found a certain spume or froth, that in time
+    breedeth unto certain shells, in shape like those of a mussel, but
+    sharper pointed, and of a whitish colour; wherein is contained a thing
+    in form like a lace of silk finely woven as it were together, of a
+    whitish colour; one end whereof is fastened unto the inside of the
+    shell, even as the fish of oysters and mussels are; the other end is
+    made fast unto the belly of a rude mass or lump, which in time cometh
+    to the shape and form of a bird. When it is perfectly formed, the shell
+    gapeth open, and the first thing that appeareth is the foresaid lace or
+    string; next come the legs of the bird hanging out and as it groweth
+    greater, it openeth the shell by degrees, till at length it is all come
+    forth, and hangeth only by the bill. In short space after it cometh to
+    full maturity, and falleth into the sea, where it gathereth feathers,
+    and groweth to a fowl, bigger than a mallard, and lesser than a goose;
+    having black legs, and a bill or beak, and feathers black and white,
+    spotted in such manner as our magpie, called in some places a
+    Pie-Annet, which the people of Lancashire call by no other name than a
+    tree-goose; which place aforesaid, and all those parts adjacent, do so
+    much abound therewith, that one of the best may be bought for
+    threepence. For the truth hereof, if any doubt, may it please them to
+    repair unto me, and I shall satisfy them by the testimony of credible
+    witnesses."--Page 1391.
+
+Gerarde, who is doubtless Butler's authority, says elsewhere, that "in the
+north parts of Scotland, and the islands called Orcades," there are certain
+trees whereon these tree-geese and barnacles abound.
+
+The conversion of the fish into a bird, however fabulous, would be scarcely
+more astonishing than the metamorphosis which it actually undergoes--the
+young of the little animal having no feature to identify it with its final
+development. In its early stage (I quote from Carpenter's _Physiology_,
+vol. i. p. 52.) it has a form not unlike that of the crab, "possessing eyes
+and powers of free motion; but afterwards, becoming fixed to one spot for
+the remainder of its life, it loses its eyes and forms a shell, which,
+though composed of various pieces, has nothing in common with the jointed
+shell of the crab."
+
+Though Porta wrote at Naples, the story has reference to Scotland; and the
+tradition is evidently northern, and local. As to SPERIEND's Query, What
+could give rise to so absurd a story? it doubtless took its origin in the
+similarity of the tentacles of the fish to feathers of a bird. But I would
+add the farther Query, whether the ready acceptance and general credence
+given to so obvious a fable, may not have been derived from giving too
+literal a construction to the text of the passage in the first chapter of
+Genesis:
+
+    "And God said, Let the _waters bring forth abundantly_ the moving
+    creature that hath life, and _the fowl_ that may fly in the open
+    firmament of heaven?"
+
+J. EMERSON TENNENT.
+
+Drayton (1613) in his _Poly-olbion_, iii., in connexion with the river Dee,
+speaks of--
+
+    "Th' anatomised fish, and fowls from planchers sprung,"
+
+to which a note is appended in Southey's edition, p. 609., that such fowls
+were "_barnacles_, a bird breeding upon old ships." In the _Entertaining
+Library_, "Habits of Birds," pp. 363-379., the whole story of this
+extraordinary instance of ignorance in natural history is amply developed.
+The barnacle shells which I once saw in a sea-port, attached to a vessel
+just arrived from the Mediterranean, had the brilliant appearance, at a
+distance, of flowers in bloom[1]; the foot of the _Lepas anatifera_
+(Linnęus) appearing to me like the stalk of a plant growing from the ship's
+side: the shell had the semblance of a calyx, and the flower consisted of
+the fingers (_tentacula_) of the shell-fish, "of which twelve project in an
+elegant curve, and are used by it for making prey of small fish." The very
+ancient error was to mistake the foot of the shell-fish for the neck of a
+goose, the shell for its head, and the _tentacula_ for a tuft of feathers.
+As to the body, _non est inventus_. The Barnacle Goose is a well-known
+bird: and these shell-fish, bearing, as seen out of the water, resemblance
+to the goose's neck, were ignorantly, and without investigation, confounded
+with geese themselves, an error into which Albertus Magnus (d. 1280) did
+not fall, and in which Pope Pius II. proved himself infallible.
+Nevertheless, in France, the Barnacle Goose may be eaten on fast-days by
+virtue of this old belief in its marine origin.

+DIAL INSCRIPTIONS.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 507. Vol. v., p. 155., &c.)
+
+In the churchyard of Areley-Kings, Worcestershire (where is the singular
+memorial to Sir Harry Coningsby, which I mentioned at Vol. vi., {225} p.
+406.), is a curious dial, the pillar supporting which has its four sides
+carved with figures of Time and Death, &c., and the following inscriptions.
+
+On the south side, where is the figure of Time:
+
+          Consider
+
+ "Aspice--ut aspicias."
+
+ "Time's glass and scythe
+  Thy life and death declare,
+  Spend well thy time, and
+  For thy end prepare."
+
+     "O man, now or never
+  While there is time, turn unto the Lord,
+      And put not off from day to day."
+
+On the north side, where is the figure of Death standing upon a dead body,
+with his dart, hour-glass, and spade:
+
+ "Three things there be in very deede,
+  Which make my heart in grief to bleede:
+  The first doth vex my very heart,
+  In that from hence I must departe;
+  The second grieves me now and then,
+  That I must die, but know not when;
+  The third with tears bedews my face,
+  That I must die, nor know the place.
+
+          I. W.
+      _fecit_, Anno D[=m]i.
+          1687."
+
+ "Behold my killing dart and delving spade;
+  Prepare for death before thy grave be made;
+                  for
+          After death there's no hope."
+
+ "If a man die he shall live again.
+  All the days of my appointed time
+  Will I wait till my days come."--_Job_ xiv. 14.
+
+ "The death of saints is precious,
+  And miserable is the death of sinners."
+
+The east side of the pillar has the following:
+
+ "Si vis ingredi in vitam,
+  Serve mandata."
+
+ "Judgments are prepared for sinners."--_Prov_. xiv. 9.
+
+And on the west:
+
+     "Sol non occidat
+  Super iracundiam vestram."
+
+ "Whatsoever ye would that men
+      Should do unto you,
+  Do ye even so unto them."

+
+The following humble petition will give an idea of the arbitrary power
+exercised by the "Saltpeter maker" in the days of Good Queen Bess; and of
+the useful monopoly that functionary contrived to make of his employment,
+in defiance of county government:
+
+    "Righte honorable, our humble dewties to yo^r good Lordshippe premised,

+(Vol. viii., p. 150.)
+
+The difficulty in investigating the origin of this word is that the letter
+_c_, "the most wonderful of all letters," says Eichhoff (_Vergleichung der
+Sprachen_, p. 55.), sounds like _k_ before the vowels _a_, _o_, _u_, but
+before _e_, _i_, in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch, as _s_, in
+Italian as _tsh_, in German as _ts_. It is always _ts_ in Polish and
+Bohemian. In Russian it is represented by a special letter [Cyrillic: ts],
+_tsi_; but in Celtic it is always _k_. Conformably with this principle, the
+Russians, like the Germans, Poles, and Bohemians, pronounce the Latin _c_
+as _ts_. So Cicero in these languages is pronounced _Tsitsero_, very
+differently from the Greeks, who called him _Kikero_. The letter _tsi_ is a
+supplementary one in Russian, having no corresponding letter in the Greek
+alphabet, from which the Russian was formed in the ninth century by St.
+Cyril. The word to be sought then amongst cognate languages as the
+counterpart of _tsar_ (or as the Germans write it _czar_) is _car_, as
+pronounced in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch. The most
+probable etymological connection that I can discover is with the Sanscrit
+[Sanskrit: car] _car_, to move, to advance; the root of the Greek [Greek:
+karrhon], in English _car_, Latin _curro_, French _cours_. So Sanscrit
+_caras_, _carat_, movable, nimble; Greek [Greek: chraōn], Latin _currens_.
+And Sanscrit _cāras_, motion, Greek [Greek: choros], Latin _currus_,
+_cursus_, French _char_, English _car_, _cart_, &c. The early Russians were
+doubtless wanderers, an off-shoot of the people known to the Greeks as
+Scythians, and to the Hebrews and Arabians as Gog and Magog, who travelled
+in _cars_, occupying first one territory with their flocks, but not
+cultivating the land, then leaving it to nature and taking up another
+resting-place. It is certain that the Russians have many Asiatic words in
+their vocabulary, which must necessarily have occurred from their being for
+more than two centuries sometimes under Tatar, and sometimes under Mongol
+domination; and the origin of this word _tsar_ or _car_ may leave to be
+sought on the plateaus of North-east Asia. In the Shemitic tongues (Arabic,
+Hebrew, Persian, &c.) no connexion of sound or meaning, so probable as the
+above Indo-European one, is to be found. The popular derivations of
+Nabupolassar, Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, &c., are not to be trusted. It is
+remarkable, however, that these names are significant in Russian. (See "N.
+& Q.," Vol. vii., pp. 432, 433, _note_.) The cuneatic inscriptions may yet
+throw light on these Assyrian names. In Russian the kingdom is _Tsarstvo_,
+the king _Tsar_, his queen _Tsarina_, his son is _Tsarevitch_, and his
+daughter _Tsarevna_. The word is probably pure Russian or Slavic. The
+Russian tsar used about two hundred years ago to be styled duke by foreign
+courts, but he has advanced in the nomenclature of royalty to be an
+emperor. The Russians use the word _imperatore_ for emperor, _Kesar_ for
+Cęsar, and _samodershetse_ for sovereign.

+
+In Voltaire's _History of the Russian Empire_, it is stated that the title
+of Czar may possibly be derived front the _Tzars_ or _Tchars_ of the
+kingdom of Casan. When John, or Ivan Basilides, Grand Prince of Russia, had
+completed the reduction of this kingdom, he assumed this title, and it has
+since continued to his successors. Before the reign of John Basilides, the
+sovereigns of Russia bore the name of _Velike Knez_, that is, great prince,
+great lord, great chief, which in Christian countries was afterwards
+rendered by that of great duke. The Czar Michael Federovitz, on occasion of
+the Holstein embassy, assumed the titles of Great Knez and Great Lord,
+Conservator of all the Russias, Prince of Wolodimir, Moscow, Novogorod,
+&c., Tzar of Casan, Tzar of Astracan, Tzar of Siberia. The name of _Tzar_
+was therefore the title of those Oriental princes, and therefore it is more
+probable for it to have been derived from the _Tshas_ of Persia than from
+the Roman Cęsars, whose name very likely never reached the ears of the
+Siberian Tzars on the banks of the Oby. In another part of Voltaire's
+_History_, when giving an account of the celebrated battle of Narva, where
+Charles XII., with nine thousand men and ten pieces of cannon, defeated
+"the Russian army with eighty thousand fighting men, supported by one
+hundred and forty-five pieces of cannon," he says, "Among the captives was
+the son of a King of Georgia, whom Charles sent to Stockholm; his name was
+_Mittelesky Czarowitz_, or Czar's Son, which is farther proof that the
+title of Czar or Tzar was not originally derived from the Roman Cęsars." To
+the above slightly abbreviated description may not be uninterestingly added
+the language of Voltaire, which immediately follows the first reference:
+
+    "No title, how great soever, is of any signification, unless they who
+    bear it are great and powerful of themselves. The word _emperor_, which
+    denoted only the _general of an army_, became the title of the {227}
+    sovereigns of Rome and it is now conferred on the supreme governor of
+    all the Russias."

+A HERMIT AT HAMPSTEAD.
+
+I beg to inform J. S. A. that the right word is _Tsar_, and that it is the
+Russian word answering to our king or lord, the Latin _Rex_, the Persian
+_Shah_, &c. There may be terms in other languages that have an affinity
+with it, but I believe we should seek in vain for a derivation.

+"LAND OF GREEN GINGER."
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 160.)
+
+I wish that R. W. ELLIOT of Clifton, whom I recognise as a former
+inhabitant of Hull, had given the authority on which he states, that "It is
+so called from the sale of ginger having been chiefly carried on there in
+early times." The name of this street has much puzzled the local
+antiquaries; and having been for several years engaged on a work relative
+to the derivations, &c., of the names of the streets of Hull, I have spared
+no pains to ascertain the history and derivation of the singular name of
+this street.
+
+I offer then a conjecture as to its derivation as follows:--The ground on
+which this street stands was originally the property of De la Pole, Duke of
+Suffolk, on which he had built his stately manor-house. On the attainder of
+the family it was seized by the king; and Henry VIII. several times held
+his court here, on one of his visits having presented his sword to the
+corporation. It was then, 1538, called Old Beverley Street, as seen in the
+survey made of the estates of Sir William Sydney, Kt. In a romance called
+_Piraute el Blanco_, it is stated "The morning collation at the English
+Court was _green ginger_ with good Malmsey, which was their custom, because
+of the coldness of the land." And in the _Foedera_, vii. 233., it is stated
+that, among other things, the cargo of a Genoese ship, which was driven
+ashore at Dunster, in Somersetshire, in 1380, consisted of green ginger
+(ginger cured with lemon-juice). In Hollar's Map of Hull, 1640, the street
+is there laid out as built upon, but without any name attached to it. No
+other plans of Hull are at present known to exist from the time of Hollar,
+1640, to Gent, 1735. In Gent's plan of Hull, it is there called "The Land
+of Green Ginger;" so that probably, between the years 1640 and 1735, it
+received its peculiar name.
+
+I therefore conjecture that, as Henry VIII. kept his Court here with his
+usual regal magnificence, green ginger would be one of the luxuries of his
+table; that this portion of his royal property being laid out as a garden,
+was peculiarly suitable for the growth of ginger--the same as Pontefract
+was for the growth of the liquorice plant; and that, upon the property
+being built upon, the remembrance of this spot being so suitable for the
+growth of ginger for the Court, would eventually give the peculiar name, in
+the same way that the adjoining street of Bowl-Alley-Lane received its
+title from the bowling-green near to it.
+
+JOHN RICHARDSON.
+
+  13. Savile Street, Hull.
+
+This has long been a puzzle to the Hull antiquaries. I have often inquired
+of old persons likely to know the origin of such names of places at that
+sea-port as "The Land of Green Ginger," "Pig Alley," "Mucky-south-end," and
+"Rotten Herring Staith;" and I have come to the conclusion, that "The Land
+of Green Ginger" was a very dirty place where horses were kept: a mews, in
+short, which none of the Muses, not even with Homer as an exponent, could
+exalt ([Greek: Epea pteroenta en athanatoisi theoisi]) into the regions of
+poesy.
+
+Ginger has been cultivated in this country as a _stove_ exotic for about
+two hundred and fifty years. In one of the histories of Hull, ginger is
+supposed to have grown in this street, where, to a recent period, the
+stables of the George Inn, and those of a person named Foster opposite,
+occupied the principal portion of the short lane called "Land of Green
+Ginger." It is hardly possible that the true zingiber can have grown here,
+even in the manure heaps; but a plant of the same order (_Zingiberaceę_)
+may have been mistaken for it. Some of the old women or marine school-boys
+of the Trinity House, in the adjoining lane named from that guild, or some
+druggist, may have dropped, either accidentally or experimentally, a root,
+if not of the ginger, yet of some kindred plant. The magnificent _Fuchsia_
+was first noticed in the possession of a seaman's wife by Fuchs in 1501, a
+century prior to the introduction of the ginger plant into England.

+
+PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.
+
+_Stereoscopic Angles_.--The discussion in "N. & Q." relative to the best
+angle for stereoscopic pictures has gone far towards a satisfactory
+conclusion: there are, however, still a few points which may be
+beneficially considered.
+
+In the first place, the kind of stereoscope to be used must tend to modify
+the mental impression; and secondly, the _amount_ of reduction from the
+size of the original has a considerable influence on the final result.
+
+If in viewing a stereoscopic pair of photographs, they are placed _at the
+same distance_ from the eyes as the _length of the focus of the lens used
+in producing them_, then without doubt the distance between the eyes, viz.
+about two and a quarter {228} inches, is the best difference between the
+two points of view to produce a perfectly natural result; and if the points
+of operation be more distant from one another, as I have before intimated,
+an effect is produced similar to what would be the case if the pictures
+were taken from a _model_ of the object instead of the object itself.
+
+When it is intended that the pictures taken are to be viewed by an
+instrument that requires their distance from the eyes to be _less_ than the
+focal length of the lens used in their formation, what is the result? Why,
+that they subtend an angle larger than in nature, and are consequently
+apparently _increased_ in bulk; and the obvious remedy is to _increase_ the
+angle between the points of generation in the exact ratio as that by which
+the visual distance is to be lessened. There is one other consideration to
+which I would advert, viz. that as we judge of _distance_, &c. mainly by
+the degree of _convergence_ of the optic axes of our two eyes, it cannot be
+so good to arrange the camera with its two positions quite parallel,
+especially for objects at a short or medium distance, as to let its centre
+radiate from the principal object to be delineated; and to accomplish this
+desideratum in the readiest way (for portraits especially), the ingenious
+contrivance of Mr. Latimer Clark, described in the _Journal_ of the
+Photographic Society, appears to me the best adapted. It consists of a
+modification of the old parallel ruler arrangement on which the camera is
+placed; but one of the sides has an adjustment, so that within certain
+limits any degree of convergence is attainable. Now in the case of the
+pictures alluded to by MR. H. WILKINSON in Vol. viii., p. 181., it is
+probable they were taken by a camera placed in two positions parallel to
+one another, and it is quite clear that only a _portion_ of the two
+pictures could have been really stereoscopic. It is perfectly true that two
+indifferent negatives will often combine and form one good stereoscopic
+positive, but this is in consequence of one possessing that in which the
+other is deficient; and at any rate two _good_ pictures will have a
+_better_ effect; consequently, it is better that the two views should
+contain exactly the same _range_ of vision.

+_Protonitrate of Iron_.--"Being in the habit of using protonitrate of iron
+for developing collodion pictures, the following method of preparing that
+solution suggested itself to me, which appears to possess great
+advantages:--
+
+  Water                       1 oz.
+  Protosulphate of iron      14 grs.
+  Nitrate of potash          10 grs.
+  Acetic acid                 ½ drm.
+  Nitric acid                 2 drops.
+
+In this mixture nitrate of potash is employed to convert the sulphate of
+iron into nitrate in place of nitrate of baryta in Dr. Diamond's formula,
+or nitrate of lead as recommended by Mr. Sisson; the advantage being that
+no filtering is required, as the sulphate of potash (produced by the double
+decomposition) is soluble in water, and does not interfere with the
+developing qualities of the solution.
+
+"The above gives the bright deposit of silver so much admired in Dr.
+Diamond's pictures, and will be found to answer equally well either for
+positives or negatives. If the nitric acid be omitted, we obtain the
+effects of protonitrate of iron prepared in the usual way.--JOHN SPILLER."

+the day, and have only their evenings for scientific pursuits: while it is
+obvious, that if such a process can be successfully practised, there are
+many objects--such as _prints_, _coins_, _seals_, _objects of natural

+The printer, as appears from the advertisement at the end of the volume,

+
+In Norfolk this is called "aftermath eddish," and "rowans" or "rawins."
+
+The first term is evidently from the A.-S. _męth_, mowing or math:

+signifying the second growth; it is used by Tusser, _October's Husbandry_,
+stanza 4.:
+
+ "Where wheat upon _eddish_ ye mind to bestow,
+  Let that be the first of the wheat ye do sow."
+
+_Rawings_ also occurs in Tusser, and in the _Promptorium Parvulorum_,
+_rawynhey_ is mentioned. In Bailey's _Dictionary_ it is spelt _rowen_ and
+_roughings_: this last form gives the etymology, for _rowe_, as may be seen
+in Halliwell, is an old form for _rough_.

+"_They shot him dead at the Nine-Stone Rig_" (Vol. viii., p. 78.).--Your
+correspondent the BORDERER will find the fragment of the ballad he is in
+search of commencing with the above line, in the second volume of the
+_Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border_, p. 114. It is entitled "Barthram's
+Dirge," and "was taken down," says Scott, "by Mr. Surtees, from the
+recitation of Anne Douglas, an old woman, who weeded his garden."
+
+Since the death of Mr. Surtees, however, it has been ascertained that this
+ballad, as well as "The Death of Featherstonhaugh," and some others in the
+same collection, were composed by him and passed off upon Scott as genuine
+old Scottish ballads.
+
+Farther particulars respecting this clever literary imposition are given in
+a review of the "Memoir of Robert Surtees," in the _Athenęum_ of August 7,

+the first impressions bear the address of E. du Booys, the later that of E.
+Cooper. As I am informed by Mr. Bodel Nijenhuis, Hendericus du Booys took
+part in the celebrated three-days' fight, Feb. 18, 19, and 20, 1653,

+be stall-fed for consumption, or horses to be sold in the garrison, bring
+with them their distinguishing marks by which they may be easily known.
+
+And it may not be out of place to remark, that being one of a party in the
+winter of 1830, travelling overland from Smyrna to Ephesus, we reached a
+place just before sunset where a roving band of Turcomans had encamped for
+the night. On nearing these people we observed that the women were
+preparing food for their supper, while the men were employed in branding
+with a hot iron, under the camel's upper lip, their own peculiar mark,--a
+very necessary precaution, it must be allowed, with people who are so well
+known for their pilfering propensities, not only practised on each other,
+but also on all those who come within their neighbourhood. Having as
+strangers paid our tribute to their great dexterity in their profession,
+the circumstance was published at the time, and to this day is not
+forgotten.

+"_Qui facit per alium, facit per se_."--In Vol. vii., p. 488., I observe an
+attempt to trace the source of the expression, "Qui facit per alium, facit
+per se." A few months since I met with the quotation under some such form
+as "Qui facit per alium, per se facere videtur," in the preface to a book
+on _Surveying_, by Fitzherbert (printed by Berthelet about 1535), where it
+is attributed to St. Augustine. As I know of no copy of the works of that
+father in these parts (though I heard him quoted last Sunday in the
+pulpit), I cannot at present verify the reference.

+"_Going to Old Weston_" (Vol. iii., p. 449.).--In turning over the pages of
+the third volume of "N. & Q." recently, I stumbled on ARUN'S notice of the
+above proverb. It immediately struck me that I had heard it used myself a
+few days before, without being conscious at the time of the similarity of
+the expression. I was asking an old man, who had been absent from home,
+where he had been to? His reply was, "To Old Weston, Sir. You know I must
+go there before I die." Knowing that he had relatives living there, I did
+not, at the time, notice anything extraordinary in the answer; but, since
+reading ARUN'S note, I have made some inquires, and find the saying is a
+common one on this (the Northamptonshire) side of Old Weston, as well as in
+Huntingdonshire. I have been unable to obtain any explanation of it, but
+think the one suggested by your correspondent must be right. One of my
+informants (an old woman upwards of seventy) told me she had often heard it
+used, and wondered what could be its meaning, when she was a child.

+_The Laird of Brodie_ (Vol. viii., p. 103.).--I. H. B. mistakes, I think,
+the meaning of the lines. The idea is not that the Laird was less than a
+gentleman, but that he was a gentleman of mark; at least, I have never
+heard any other interpretation put upon it in Scotland, where the ballad of
+"We'll gang nae mair a-roving," is a great favourite. King James is the
+_subject_ of the ballad. That merry monarch made many lively escapades, and
+on this occasion he personated a beggarman. The damsel, to whom he
+successfully paid his addresses, saw through the disguise at first; but
+from the king's good acting, when he pretended to be afraid that the dongs
+would "rive his meal pokes," she began to think she had been mistaken. Then
+she expressed her disgust by saying, that she had thought her lover could
+not be anything less than the Laird of Brodie, the highest untitled
+gentleman probably in the neighbourhood: implying that she suspected he
+might be peer or prince.

+from the extract given below, that the mayor was no more a reality than the

+
+ "His shield was wrought, if we may credit Fame,
+  By Mulciber, the Mayor of Bromigham.

+_Sir John Vanbrugh_ (Vol. viii., pp. 65. 160.).--Previous to sending you my
+Query about the birthplace of Sir John Vanbrugh, I had carefully gone
+through the Registers of the Holy Trinity parish, Chester, and had
+discovered the baptisms or burials of seven sons and six daughters of Mr.
+Giles Vanbrugh duly registered therein. Sir John's name is not included in
+the list; therefore, if he was born in Chester, his baptism must have been
+registered at one of the many other parish churches of this city. The
+registers of St. Peter's Church, a neighbouring parish, have also been
+{233} examined, but contain no notice of the baptism of the future knight.
+I will, however, continue the chace; and should I eventually fall in with
+the object of my search, will give my fellow-labourers the benefit of my
+explorations. Mr. Vanbrugh sen. died at Chester, and was buried with
+several of his children at Trinity Church, July 19, 1689.

+_Portrait of Charles I._--The portrait of Charles I. by Vandyke (the
+subject of MR. BREEN'S Query, "N. & Q.," Vol. viii., p. 151.) is no less
+than the celebrated picture in which the monarch is represented standing,
+with his right hand resting on a walking cane, and his left (the arm being
+beautifully foreshortened) against his hip; and immediately behind him his
+horse is held by an equerry, supposed to be the Marquis of Hamilton. The
+picture hangs in the great square room at the Louvre, close on the left
+hand of the usual entrance door, and is undoubtedly one of the finest in
+that magnificent collection. As a portrait, it is without a rival. It is
+well known in this country by the admirable engraving from it, executed in
+1782, by Sir Robert Strange.
+
+The description of this picture in the Catalogue for 1852 _du Musée
+Nationale du Louvre_, is as follows:--
+
+    "Gravé par Strange; par Bonnefoy; par Duparc;--Filhol, t. 1. pl. 5.
+
+    "Collection de Louis XV.--Ce tableau, qui a été exécuté vers 1635, ne
+    fut payé ą van Dyck que 100 livres sterling. En 1754, il faisait
+    partie, suivant Descamps, du cabinet du marquis de Lassay. On trouve
+    cette note dans les mémoires secrets de Bachaument," &c.
+
+Then follows the passage quoted by MR. BREEN. I can find no mention of a
+Dubarry among the ancestors of the monarch.

+ "Pass, pass, who will yon chantry door,
+  And through the chink in the fractured floor
+  Look down, and see a grisly sight,
+  A vault where the bodies are buried upright;
+  There face to face and hand lay hand

+      Wordsworth, _White Doe of Rylstone_, Canto I.,
+          p. 5., line 17., new edition, 1837.
+
+See note on line 17 taken from Whitaker's _Craven_:
+
+    "At the east end of the north aisle of Bolton Priory Church is a
+    chantry belonging to Bethmesley Hall, and a vault where, according to
+    tradition, the Claphams were buried upright."

+
+_Strut-Stowers and Yeathers or Yadders_ (Vol. viii., p. 148.).--The former
+of these words is, I believe, obsolete, or nearly so. It means
+bracing-stakes: _strut_, in carpentry, is to _brace_; and _stower_ is a
+small kind of stake, as distinguished from the "ten stakes" mentioned in
+the legend quoted by MR. COOPER.
+
+The other word, _Yeather_ or _Yadder_, is yet in use in Northumberland
+(vid. Brockett's _Glossary_), and is mentioned by Charlton in his _History
+of Whitby_. The legend referred to by MR. COOPER is, I suspect, of modern
+origin but Dr. Young, in his _History of Whitby_, vol. i. p. 310.,
+attributes it to some of the monks of the abbey; on what grounds he does
+not say. The records of the abbey contain no allusion to the legend; and no
+ancient MS. of it, either in Latin or English, has ever been produced. The
+_penny-hedge_ is yearly renewed to this day but it is a service performed
+for a different reason than that attributed in the legend. (See Young and
+Charlton's histories.)
+
+F. M.
+
+The term _strut_ is commonly used by carpenters for a brace or stay.
+_Stower_, in Bailey's _Dictionary_, is a stake; Halliwell spells it
+_stoure_, and says it is still in use. Forby connects the Norfolk word
+_stour_, stiff, inflexible, applied to standing corn, with this word, which
+he says is Lowland Scotch, and derives them both from Sui.-G. _stoer_,
+stipes. A _yeather_ or _yadder_ seems to be a rod to wattle the stakes
+with. In Norfolk, wattling a live fence is called _ethering_ it, which
+word, evidently with _yeather_, may be derived from A.-S. _ether_ or
+_edor_, a hedge. The barons, therefore, had to drive their stakes
+perpendicularly into the sand, to put the strut-stowers diagonally to
+enable them to withstand the force of the tide, and finally to wattle them
+together with the yeathers.
+

+
+_Arms of See of York_ (Vol. viii., p. 111.).--It appears that the arms of
+the See of York were certainly changed during Wolsey's time, for on the
+vaulting of Christ Church Gate, Canterbury, is a shield bearing (in
+sculpture) the same arms as those now used by the Metropolitan See of
+Canterbury, impaling those of Wolsey, and over the shield a cardinal's hat.
+This gateway was built in 1517; yet in the parliament roll of 6th Henry
+VIII., 1515, the _keys_ and _crown_ are impaled with the arms of Wolsey as
+Archbishop of York (see fac-simile, published by Willement, 4to. Lond.
+1829), showing that the alteration was not generally known when the gateway
+was built.
+
+Although the charges on the earlier arms of the See of York were the same
+as on that of Canterbury, the colours of their fields differed; for in a
+north window of the choir of York Minster is a shield of arms, bearing the
+arms of Archbishop Bowett, who held the see from 1407 to 1423, impaled by
+the pall and pastoral staff, on a field _gules_. The glass is to all
+appearance of the fifteenth century.

+_Leman Family_ (Vol. viii., p. 150.).--Without being able to give a
+substantial reply to R. W. L.'s Query, it may assist him to know that Sir
+John Leman had but _one_ brother (William), who certainly did not emigrate
+from his native land. Sir John died, March 26, 1632, without issue; and was
+buried in the chancel of St. Michael, Crooked Lane, London. His elder
+brother, William, had five sons; all settled comfortably in England, and
+not at all likely to have left their native country. One of the _Heralds'
+Visitations_ for the counties of Norfolk or Suffolk would materially assist

+_Position of Font_ (Vol. vii., p. 149.).--In the church of Milton near

+position. I have visited some hundreds of churches, and this is the only
+instance I have observed of a font in this position. Numerous instances
+occur where it is _built into_ the south-western pier of the nave.

+
+Our worthy publisher has just issued a volume which will be welcome, for
+the excellence of its matter and the beauty of its various illustrations,
+to all archęologists. These _Memoirs illustrative of the History and
+Antiquities of Bristol and the Western Counties of Great Britain, and other
+Communications made to the Annual Meeting of the Archęological Institute
+held at Bristol in 1851_, certainly equal in interest and variety any of
+their predecessors, and whether as a memorial of their visit to Bristol to
+those who attended the meeting, or as a pleasant substitute to those who
+did not, will doubtless find a resting-place on the shelf of every member
+of the Society whose proceedings they record.
+
+We cannot better recommend to our readers Dr. Madden's newly published
+_Life and Martyrdom of Savonarola, illustrative of the History of Church
+and State Connexion_, than by stating that this remarkable man, whom some
+Protestants have claimed as of their own creed, while as many Romanists
+have rejected him as a heretic, is viewed by Dr. Madden as a monk of
+Florence at the close of the fifteenth century, who was of opinion that the
+mortal enemy of Christ's gospel in all ages of the world had been mammon;
+that simony was the sin against the Holy Ghost; that the interests of
+religion were naturally allied with those of liberty; that the Arts were
+the handmaids of both, of a Divine origin, and were given to earth for
+purposes that tended to spiritualise humanity; and who directed all his
+teachings, preachings, and writings to one great object, namely, _the
+separation of religion from all worldly influences_. On this theme Dr.
+Madden discourses with great learning, and, some few passages excepted,
+with great moderation; and the result is a Life of Savonarola, which gives
+a far more complete view of his character and his writings than has
+heretofore been attempted.

+SOME ACCOUNT of DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE in ENGLAND, from the Conquest to the
+end of the Thirteenth Century, with numerous Illustrations of Existing
+Remains from Original Drawings. By T. HUDSON TURNER.
+
+    "What Horace Walpole attempted, and what Sir Charles Lock Eastlake has
+    done for oil-painting--elucidated its history and traced its progress
+    in England by means of the records of expenses and mandates of the
+    successive Sovereigns of the realm--Mr. Hudson Turner has now achieved
+    for Domestic Architecture in this century during the twelfth and
+    thirteenth centuries."--_Architect._
+
+    "The writer of the present volume ranks among the most intelligent of
+    the craft, and a careful perusal of its contents will convince the
+    reader of the enormous amount of labour bestowed on its minutest
+    details as well as the discriminating judgement presiding over the
+    general arrangement."--_Morning Chronicle._
+
+    "The book of which the title is given above is one of the very few
+    attempts that have been made in this country to treat this interesting
+    subject in anything more than a superficial manner.
+
+    "Mr. Turner exhibits much learning and research, and he has
+    consequently laid before the reader much interesting information. It is
+    a book that was wanted, and that affords us some relief from the mass
+    of works on Ecclesiastical Architecture with which of late years we
+    have been deluged.
+
+    "The work is well illustrated throughout with wood-engravings of the
+    more interesting remains, and will prove a valuable addition to the
+    antiquary's library."--_Literary Gazette._
+
+    "It is as a text-book on the social comforts and condition of the
+    Squires and Gentry of England during the twelfth and thirteenth
+    centuries, that the leading value of Mr. Turner's present publication
+    will be found to consist.
+
+    "Turner's handsomely-printed volume is profusely illustrated with
+    careful woodcuts of all important existing remains, made from drawings
+    by Mr. Blore and Mr. Twopeny."--_Athenęum._

+THE DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE MIDDLE AGES. Vol. II.--THE FOURTEENTH
+CENTURY. By the Editor of "The Glossary of Architecture."
+
+This volume is issued on the plan adopted by the late Mr. Hudson Turner in
+the previous volume: viz., collecting matter relating to Domestic buildings
+of the period, from cotemporary records, and applying the information so
+acquired to the existing remains.
+
+Not only does the volume contain much curious information both as to the
+buildings and manners and customs of the time, but it is also hoped that
+the large collection of careful Engravings of the finest examples will
+prove as serviceable to the profession and their employers in building
+mansions, as the Glossary was found to be in building churches.
+
+The Text is interspersed throughout with numerous woodcuts.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT

+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to

+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<h2>Notes.</h2>
+
+<h3>"THAT SWINNEY."</h3>
+
+  <p>Junius thus wrote to H. S. Woodfall in a private note, to which Dr.
+  Good has affixed the date July 21st, 1769 (vol. i. p. 174.*)</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"That Swinney is a wretched but dangerous fool. He had the impudence
+  to go to Lord G. Sackville, whom he had never spoken to, and to ask him
+  whether or no he was the author of Junius: take care of him."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>This paragraph has given rise to a great deal of speculation, large
+  inferences have been drawn from it, yet no one has satisfactorily
+  answered the question, who was "that Swinney?"</p>
+
+  <p>That neither Dr. Good nor Mr. George Woodfall, the editors of the
+  edit. of 1812, knew anything about him, is manifest from their own bald
+  note of explanation, "A correspondent of the printers." Some reports say
+  that he was a collector of news for the <i>Public Advertiser</i>, and
+  subsequently a bookseller at Birmingham, but I never saw any one fact
+  adduced tending to show that there was any person of that name so
+  employed. Others that the Rev. Dr. Sidney Swinney was the party referred
+  to: and Mr. Smith, in his excellent notes to the <i>Grenville Papers</i>,
+  vol. iii. p. lxviii., <i>assumes</i> this to be the fact. I incline to
+  agree with him, but have only inference to strengthen conjecture. What
+  may be the value of that inference will appear in the progress of this
+  inquiry, Who was Dr. Sidney Swinney?</p>
+
+  <p>Reports collected by Mr. Butler, Mr. Barker, Mr. Coventry, and others,
+  say that the Doctor had been chaplain to the Russian Embassy, chaplain to
+  the Embassy at Constantinople, and chaplain to one of the British
+  regiments serving in Germany. Mr. Falconer, in his <i>Secret
+  Revealed</i>, p. 22., quotes a paragraph from one of Wray's letters to
+  Lord Hardwick with reference to the proceedings at the Royal Society:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Dr. Swinney, your Lordship's friend, presented his father-in-law
+  Howell's book."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>Swinney's father-in-law, here called Howell, was John Zephaniah
+  Holwell, a remarkable man, whose name is intimately associated with the
+  early history of British India, one of the few survivors of the Black
+  Hole imprisonment, the successor of <!-- Page 214 --><span
+  class="pagenum"><a name="page214"></a>{214}</span>Clive as governor, and
+  a writer on many subjects connected with Hindoo antiquities. Swinney
+  enrols him amongst his heroes,</p>
+
+  <div class="poem">
+    <div class="stanza">
+      <p class="hg3">"Holwell, Clive, York, Lawrence, Adams, Coote,</p>
+      <p>Of Draper, Bath-strung for his baffled suit."</p>
+    </div>
+  </div>
+  <p>And he refers, in a note, to those</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Ungrateful monsters (heretofore in a certain trading company), who
+  have endeavoured to vilify and sully one of the brightest characters that
+  ever existed."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>I learn farther, from a volume of <i>Fugitive Pieces</i>, published by
+  Dr. Swinney, that he was the son of Major Mathew Swinney, whom after his
+  flourishing fashion he calls on another occasion "Mathew Swinney of
+  immortal memory;" from one of his dedications that the Doctor himself was
+  educated at Eton; from the books of the Royal Society that he was of
+  Clare Hall, Cambridge; from dates and dedications, that from 1764 to
+  1768, he was generally resident at Scarborough; and from the
+  <i>Gentleman's Magazine</i>, that he died there 12th November, 1783.</p>
+
+  <p>That Swinney had been chaplain to the Russian Embassy I have no reason
+  to believe; but that he had been in the East for a time, possibly as
+  chaplain to the Embassy at Constantinople, is asserted in the brief
+  biographical notice in the <i>Gentleman's Magazine</i>, and would <i>seem
+  to be proved</i> by a work which he published in 1769, called&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"A Tour through some parts of the Levant: in which is included An
+  Account of the Present State of the Seven Churches in Asia. Also a brief
+  Explanation of the Apocalypse. By Sidney Swinney, D.D."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>Nothing, however, can be inferred from a title-page of Swinney's. Here
+  we have two or three distinct works referred to:&mdash;<i>A Tour</i>,
+  including "An Account of the Seven Churches," and the "Explanation of the
+  Apocalypse." Now I must direct attention to the fact, that from the
+  peculiar punctuation and phraseology&mdash;the full-stop after Asia in
+  this title-page&mdash;it may have been Swinney's intention to indicate,
+  without asserting, that the Account of the Apocalypse <i>only</i> was by
+  Sidney Swinney. If so, though Swinney's name alone figures in the
+  title-page of the work, he is responsible only for one or two notes!</p>
+
+  <p>I would not have written conjecturally on this subject if I could have
+  avoided it; but though Swinney was a F.A.S. F.R.S., and though the work
+  is dedicated to the Fellows of those Societies, no copy of it is to be
+  found in the libraries of either, or in the British Museum. I cannot,
+  therefore, be sure that my own copy is perfect. What that copy contains
+  is thus set forth in half a dozen lines of introduction:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Before I [S. S.] enter upon the more important part of my
+  dissertation [The Explanation of the Apocalypse], it may not be improper
+  to give you some account of the present state of the Seven Churches in
+  Asia, as they are, <i>which was communicated to me</i> by a certain
+  <i>friend of mine</i>, in the description of a short tour which <i>he</i>
+  made through the principal parts of the Levant: should they be
+  accompanied with a few casual notes <i>of my own</i>, I trust the work
+  will not be less acceptable to you on that account."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>It must be obvious, after this declaration, that the <i>Tour</i> set
+  forth so conspicuously in the title-page, was not written by Swinney. Now
+  the "Itinerary" which follows is advowedly "wrote by <i>the author of the
+  preceding account</i>," and this brings the reader and the work itself to
+  "The End!"</p>
+
+  <p>The truth I suspect to have been this:&mdash;Swinney was not prudent
+  and was poor, and raised money occasionally, after the miserable fashion
+  of the time, by publishing books on subscription, and receiving
+  subscriptions in anticipation of publication.</p>
+
+  <p>About this time, from 1767 to 1769, he published a <i>Sermon</i>;
+  <i>The Ninth Satire of Horace</i>, a meaningless trifle of a hundred
+  lines, swollen, by printing the original and notes, into a quarto; a
+  volume of <i>Fugitive Pieces</i>; and the first canto of <i>The Battle of
+  Minden, a Poem in three Books, enriched with critical Notes by Two
+  Friends, and with explanatory Notes by the Author</i>. Of the latter
+  work, as of the <i>Tour</i>, I have never seen but one copy, a splendid
+  specimen of typography, splendidly bound, containing the first and second
+  canto. Whether the third canto was ever published is to me doubtful; some
+  of your correspondents may be able to give you information. My own
+  impression is that it was not, and for the following reasons.</p>
+
+  <p>Swinney, it appears, had received subscriptions for the work, and
+  promised in his prospectus <i>a plan of the battle</i>, and
+  <i>portraits</i> of the heroes, which the work does not contain.
+  "However, to make some little amends" to his "generous subscribers,"
+  Swinney announces his intention to present them with "<i>three</i> books
+  instead of <i>one</i>."</p>
+
+  <p>The first book is dedicated to Earl Waldegrave, who commanded "the six
+  British regiments of infantry" on the "ever memorable 1st August, 1759,"
+  and a note affixed states that "Book the Second" will be published on 1st
+  January, and "Book the Third" on 1st of August.</p>
+
+  <p>But the public, as Swinney says, were kept "in suspense" almost three
+  years for the second book, which was not published until 1772; and in the
+  dedication of this second book, also to Earl Waldegrave, Swinney
+  says:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Doubtless many of my subscribers have thought me very unmindful of
+  the promise I made them in my printed proposal, in which I undertook to
+  publish my poem out of hand. Ill health has been the sole cause of my
+  disappointing their expectations. A fever of the nerves ... for these
+  four years, has rendered me incapable.... In my original proposals I
+  undertook to publish this work in two books. [In the introduction he
+  says, as I have just quoted, <i>one</i> book.] Poetical <!-- Page 215
+  --><span class="pagenum"><a name="page215"></a>{215}</span>matter hath
+  increased upon me to such a degree, in the genial climate of Languedoc,
+  as to have enabled me to compose several more books on this interesting
+  subject, all which I purpose presenting my subscribers with at the
+  original price of half a guinea.... Many months ago this Second Book was
+  printed off; but on my arrival in town from Montauban (whither I purpose
+  to return), I found there were so many faults and blunders in it
+  throughout, that I was under the necessity of condemning five hundred
+  copies to the inglorious purpose of defending pye bottoms from the dust
+  of an oven.... Profit, my Lord, has not been my motive for publishing: if
+  it had, I should be egregiously disappointed, for instead of gaining I
+  shall be a considerable loser by the publication; and yet many of my
+  subscribers have <i>given me four, five, and six times over and above the
+  subscription-price for my Poem. How even the remaining books will see the
+  light must depend entirely upon my pecuniary, not my poetical
+  abilities</i>. The work is well nigh completed; but not one solitary
+  brother have I throughout the airy regions of Grub Street who is poorer
+  than I. It is not impossible, however, but when <i>some of my partial
+  friends shall know this</i>, they may <i>enable me by their bounty</i> to
+  publish out of hand."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>This leads me to doubt whether the third book was ever published, for
+  I think the most "partial" of his friends&mdash;those who had given
+  "four, five, and six times over and above the subscription
+  price"&mdash;must have had enough in two books. If it were not published,
+  it is a curious fact that, in a poem called <i>The Battle of Minden</i>,
+  the battle of Minden is not mentioned; though not more extraordinary
+  perhaps than the omissions of the "Explanation of the Apocalypse" in his
+  previous work.</p>
+
+  <p>I come now to the question, Why did Junius speak so passionately and
+  disrespectfully of Swinney, and what are the probabilities that Swinney
+  had never before (July) 1769 spoken to Lord G. Sackville? These I must
+  defer till next week.</p>

+<h3>FOLK LORE.</h3>
+
+  <p><i>Superstition of the Cornish Miners</i> (Vol. viii., p. 7.).&mdash;I
+  cannot find the information desired by your correspondent in the Cornish
+  antiquaries, and have in vain consulted other works likely to explain
+  this tradition; but the remarks now offered will perhaps be interesting
+  in reference to the <i>nation</i> alluded to. The Carthaginians being of
+  the same race, manners, and religion as the Ph&oelig;nicians, there are
+  no particular data by which we can ascertain the time of their first
+  trading to the British coast for the commodity in such request among the
+  traders of the East. The genius of Carthage being more martial than that
+  of Tyre, whose object was more commerce than conquest, it is not
+  improbable that the former might by force of arms have established a
+  settlement in the Cassiterides, and by this means have secured that
+  monopoly of tin which the Ph&oelig;nicians and their colonies indubitably
+  enjoyed for several centuries. Norden, in his <i>Antiquities of
+  Cornwall</i>, mentions it as a tradition universally received by the
+  inhabitants, that their tin mines were formerly wrought by the Jews. He
+  adds that these old works are there at this day called Attal Sarasin, the
+  ancient <!-- Page 216 --><span class="pagenum"><a
+  name="page216"></a>{216}</span>cast-off works of the Saracens, in which
+  their tools are frequently found. Miners are not accustomed to be very
+  accurate in distinguishing traders of foreign nations, and these Jews and
+  Saracens have probably a reference to the old merchants from Spain and
+  Africa; and those employed by them might possibly have been Jews escaped
+  the horrors of captivity and the desolation which about that period befel
+  their country.</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"The Jews," says Whitaker (<i>Origin of Arianism</i>, p. 334.),
+  "denominated themselves, and were denominated by the Britons of Cornwall,
+  <i>Saracens</i>, as the genuine progeny of Sarah. The same name, no
+  doubt, carried the same reference with it as borne by the genuine, and as
+  usurped by the spurious, offspring of Abraham."</p>

+  <p><i>Northamptonshire Folk Lore</i> (Vol. vii., p. 146.).&mdash;In
+  Norfolk, a ring made from nine sixpences freely given by persons of the
+  opposite sex is considered a charm against epilepsy. I have seen nine
+  sixpences brought to a silversmith, with a request that he would make
+  them into a ring; but 13½<i>d.</i> was not tendered to him for making,
+  nor do I think that any threehalfpences are collected for payment. After
+  the patient had left the shop, the silversmith informed me that such
+  requests were of frequent occurrence, and that he supplied the patients
+  with thick silver rings, but never took the trouble to manufacture them
+  from the sixpences.</p>
+
+  <p>A similar superstition supposes that the sole of the left shoe of a
+  person of the same age, but opposite sex, to the patient, reduced to
+  ashes is a cure for St. Anthony's fire. I have seen it applied with
+  success, but suppose its efficacy is due to some astringent principle in
+  the ashes.</p>

+    </div>
+  </div>
+  <p>"Runaways'" being a manifest absurdity, the recent editors have
+  substituted "unawares," an uncouth alteration, which, though it has a
+  glimmering of sense, appears to me almost as absurd as the word it
+  supplies. In this <span class="correction" title="text reads `dilemna'"
+  >dilemma</span> your correspondent <span class="sc">Mr. Singer</span>
+  ingeniously suggests the true reading to be,&mdash;</p>
+
+  <div class="poem">
+    <div class="stanza">
+      <p class="hg3">"That <i>rumourers'</i> eyes may wink, and Romeo</p>
+      <p>Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen."</p>
+    </div>
+  </div>
+  <p>No doubt this is a felicitous emendation, though I think it may be
+  fairly objected that a rumourer, being one who deals in what he hears, as
+  opposed to an observer, who reports what he sees, there is a certain
+  inappropriateness in speaking of a rumourer's eyes. Be this as it may, I
+  beg to suggest another reading, which has the merit of having
+  spontaneously occurred to me on seeing the word "runaways'" in your
+  correspondent's paper, as if obviously suggested by the combination of
+  letters in that word. I propose that the passage should be read thus:</p>
+
+  <div class="poem">
+    <div class="stanza">
+      <p class="hg3">"Spread thy close curtain, love-performing Night,</p>
+      <p>That <i>rude day's</i> eyes may wink, and Romeo</p>
+      <p>Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen."</p>
+    </div>
+  </div>
+  <p>A subsequent reference to Juliet's speech has left no doubt in my mind
+  that this is the true reading, and so obviously so, as to make it a
+  wonder that it should have been overlooked. She first asks the
+  "fiery-footed steeds" to bring in "cloudy night," then night to close her
+  curtain (that day's eyes may wink), that darkness may come, under cover
+  of which Romeo may hasten to her. In the next two lines she shows why
+  this darkness is propitious, and then, using an unwonted epithet, invokes
+  night to give her the opportunity of darkness:</p>
+
+  <div class="poem">
+    <div class="stanza">
+      <p class="i6hg3">"Come, <i>civil</i> night,</p>
+      <p>Thou sober suited matron all in black,</p>
+      <p>And learn me how to lose a winning game," &amp;c.</p>
+    </div>
+  </div>
+  <p>The peculiar and unusual epithet "civil," here applied to night, at
+  once assured me of the accuracy of the proposed reading, it having
+  evidently suggested itself as the antithesis of "rude" just before
+  applied to day; the civil, accommodating, concealing night being thus
+  contrasted with the unaccommodating, revealing day. It is to be remarked,
+  moreover, that as this epithet <i>civil</i> is, through its ordinary
+  signification, brought into connexion with what precedes it, so is it,
+  through its unusual meaning of <i>grave</i>, brought into connexion with
+  what follows, it thus furnishing that equivocation of sense of which our
+  great dramatist is so fond, rarely missing an opportunity of "paltering
+  with us in a double sense."</p>
+
+  <p>I think, therefore, I may venture to offer you the proposed emendation
+  as rigorously fulfilling all the requirements of the text, while at the
+  same time it necessitates a very trifling literal disturbance of the old
+  reading, since by the simple change of the letters <i>naw</i> into
+  <i>ded</i>, we convert "runaways'" into "rude day's," of which it was a
+  very easy misprint.</p>
+
+  <p>Having offered you an emendation of my own, I cannot miss the
+  opportunity of sending you <!-- Page 217 --><span class="pagenum"><a
+  name="page217"></a>{217}</span>another, for which I am indebted to a
+  critical student of Shakspeare, my friend Mr. W.&nbsp;R. Grove, the Queen's
+  Counsel. In <i>All's Well that ends Well</i>, the third scene of the
+  Second Act opens with the following speech from Lafeu:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"They say miracles are past; and we have our philosophical persons to
+  make modern and familiar things, supernatural and causeless. Hence is it
+  that we make trifles of terrors; ensconcing ourselves in a seeming
+  knowledge when we should submit ourselves to an unknown fear."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>On reading this passage as thus printed, it will be seen that the two
+  sentences of which it is composed are in direct contradiction to each
+  other; the first asserting that we have philosophers who give a causeless
+  and supernatural character to things ordinary and familiar: the second
+  stating as the result of this, "that we make trifles of terrors," whereas
+  the tendency would necessarily be to make "terrors of trifles." The
+  confusion arises from the careless pointing of the first sentence. By
+  simply shifting the comma at present after "things," and placing it after
+  "familiar," the discrepancy between the two sentences disappears, as also
+  between the two members of the first sentence, which are now at variance.
+  It should be pointed thus:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"They say miracles are past; and we have our philosophical persons to
+  make modern and familiar, things supernatural and causeless."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>It is singular that none of the editors should have noticed this
+  defect, which I have no doubt will hereafter be removed by the adoption
+  of a simple change, that very happily illustrates the importance of
+  correct punctuation.</p>

+  <p><i>Dog Latin</i>.&mdash;The answer of one of your late correspondents
+  (E. M. B., Vol. vii., p. 622.) on the subject of "Latin&mdash;Latiner,"
+  has revived a Query in your First Volume (p. 230.) as to the origin of
+  this expression which does not appear to have been answered. I do not
+  remember having seen any explanation of the term, but I have arrived at
+  one for myself, and present it to your readers for what it is worth.
+  Nothing, it must be admitted, can be more inconsistent with the usual
+  forms of language than the Latin of medięval periods; it is often, in
+  fact, not Latin at all, but merely a Latin form given to simple English
+  or other words, and admitting of the greatest variety. Now of all animals
+  the distinctions of breed are perhaps more numerous in the canine race
+  than any other. The word "mongrel," originally applied to one of these
+  quadruped combinations of variety, has long been used to signify anything
+  in which mixture of class existed, especially of a debasing kind, to
+  which such mixture generally tends. Nothing could be more appropriate
+  than the application of the term to the "infima latinitas" of the Middle
+  Ages; and from "mongrel" the transition to the name of the genus from
+  that of the degenerate species appears to me to be very easy, though
+  fanciful.</p>

+  is given of the manner in which he obtained the handsome competence with
+  which he emerges in 1756, or thereabouts. A few days after my account was
+  published, I was informed (by Captain James, R.E.) that a large four-foot
+  orrery, constructed by Wright for the Royal Academy at Portsmouth, was
+  still in that town; and that by the title of "J. Harrises Use of the

+<h3>LITTLECOTT&mdash;SIR JOHN POPHAM.</h3>
+
+  <p>Every one knows the tradition attached to the manor of Littlecott in
+  Wiltshire, and the alleged means by which Chief Justice Sir John Popham
+  acquired its possession. It is told by Aubrey, Sir Walter Scott, and many
+  others, and is too notorious to be here repeated. Let me ask you or your
+  learned correspondents whether there exists any refutation of a charge so
+  seriously detrimental to the character of any judge, and so inconsistent
+  with the reputation which Chief Justice Popham enjoyed among his
+  cotemporaries? See Lord Ellesmere's notice of him in the case of the
+  Postnati (<i>State Trials</i>, ii. 669.), and Sir Edward Coke's
+  flattering picture of him at the end of Sir Drew Drury's case
+  (<i>Reports</i>, vi. 75.). Are there any records showing that a Darell
+  was ever in fact arraigned on a charge of murder, and the name of the
+  judge who presided at the trial? Is the date known of the death of the
+  last Darell who possessed the estate, or that of Sir John Popham's
+  acquisition of it? The discovery of these might throw great light on the
+  subject, and possibly afford a complete contradiction.</p>
+
+  <p>Sir Francis Bacon, in his argument against Sir John Hollis and others
+  for traducing public justice, states that&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Popham, a great judge in his time, was complained of by petition to
+  Queen Elizabeth; it was committed <!-- Page 219 --><span
+  class="pagenum"><a name="page219"></a>{219}</span>to four privy
+  councillors, but the same was found to be slanderous, and the parties
+  punished in the court."&mdash;<i>State Trials</i>, vol. ii. p. 1029.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>If this petition could be discovered, and it should turn out that the
+  slander complained of in it had reference to this story, the
+  investigation which it then underwent by the four privy councillors, and
+  the chief justice's enjoyment of his high office for so many subsequent
+  years, would go far to prove the utter falsehood of the charge. This is a
+  "consummation devoutly to be wished" by every one who feels an interest
+  in the purity of the bench, and particularly by the present possessors of
+  the estate, who must be anxious for their ancestor's fame.</p>

+
+  <p>"The Jews being forbidden to make couenants with the Gentiles, they

+
+  <p><i>Brasenose, Oxford</i>.&mdash;I am anxious to learn the origin and
+  meaning of the word <i>Brasenose</i>. I have somewhere heard or read
+  (though I cannot recall where) that it was a Saxon word, <i>brasen
+  haus</i> or "brewing-house;" and that the college was called by this
+  name, because it was built on the site of the brewing-house of King
+  Alfred. All that Ingram says on the subject is this:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"This curious appellation, which, whatever was the origin of it, has
+  been perpetuated by the symbol of a brazen nose here and at Stamford,
+  occurs with the modern orthography, but in one undivided word, so early
+  as 1278, in an Inquisition, now printed in the <i>Hundred Rolls</i>,
+  though quoted by Wood from the manuscript record."&mdash;See his
+  <i>Memorials of Oxford</i>.</p>

+  <p>[Our correspondent will find the notice of King Alfred's brew-house in
+  the review of Ingram's <i>Memorials</i> in the <i>British Critic</i>,
+  vol. xxiv. p. 139. The writer says, "There is a spot in the centre of the
+  city where Alfred is said to have lived, and which may be called the
+  native place or river-head of three separate societies still existing,
+  University, Oriel, and Brasenose. Brasenose claims his palace, Oriel his
+  church, and University his school or academy. Of these Brasenose College
+  is still called, in its formal style, 'the King's Hall,' which is the
+  name by which Alfred himself, in his laws, calls his palace; and it has
+  its present singular name from a corruption of <i>brasinium</i>, or
+  <i>brasin-huse</i>, as having been originally located in that part of the
+  royal mansion which was devoted to the then important accommodation of a
+  brew-house." Churton, in his <i>Life of Bishop Smyth</i>, p. 277., thus
+  accounts for the origin of the word:&mdash;"Brasen Nose Hall, as the
+  Oxford antiquary has shown, may be traced as far back as the time of
+  Henry III., about the middle of the thirteenth century; and early in the
+  succeeding reign, 6th Edward I., 1278, it was known by the name of Brasen
+  Nose Hall, which peculiar name was undoubtedly owing, as the same author
+  observes, to the circumstance of a nose of brass affixed to the gate. It
+  is presumed, however, this conspicuous appendage of the portal was not
+  formed of the mixed metal, which the word now denotes, but the genuine
+  produce of the mine; as is the nose, or rather face, of a lion or leopard
+  still remaining at Stamford, which also gave name to the edifice it
+  adorned. And hence, when Henry VIII. debased the coin, by an alloy of
+  <i>copper</i>, it was a common remark or proverb, that 'Testons were gone
+  to Oxford, to study in <i>Brasen</i> Nose.'"]</p>

+  stating that Sir George Downing was a son of Dr. Calibut Downing, the
+  rector of Hackney. He was beyond doubt the son of Emmanuel Downing, a
+  London merchant, who went to New England. It is not improbable that
+  Emmanuel was a near kinsman of Calibut; how related has not yet been
+  discovered. Governor Hutchinson, in his <i>History of Massachusetts</i>,
+  gives the true account of Downing's affiliation, which has been farther
+  confirmed by Mr. Savage, of Boston, from the public records of New
+  England. Wood calls Downing a sider with all times and changes; skilled
+  in the common cant, and a preacher occasionally. He was sent by Cromwell
+  to Holland, as resident there. About the Restoration, he espoused the
+  King's cause, and was knighted and elected M. P. for Morpeth, in 1661.
+  Afterwards, becoming Secretary to the Treasury and Commissioner of the
+  Customs, he was in 1663 created a Baronet of East Hatley, in
+  Cambridgeshire, and was again sent ambassador to Holland. His grandson of
+  the same name, who died in 1749, was the founder of Downing College,
+  Cambridge. The title became extinct in 1764, upon the decease of Sir John
+  Gerrard Downing, the last heir male of the family." According to

+  intended to convey nearly the same meaning as the <i>ennui</i> of the
+  French. I <!-- Page 222 --><span class="pagenum"><a

+<h3>CRANMER AND CALVIN.</h3>
+
+<p class="cenhead">(Vol. viii., p. 182.)</p>
+
+  <p>A correspondent who seems to delight in sibilants, signing, himself
+  S.&nbsp;Z.&nbsp;Z.&nbsp;S., invites me to "<i>preserve</i>, in your columns, the letter
+  of Calvin to Cranmer, of which Dean Jenkyns has only given extracts," as
+  noticed by me in your Vol. vii., p. 621.</p>
+
+  <p>I would not shrink from the trouble of transcribing the whole letter,
+  if a complete copy were only to be found in the short-lived columns of a
+  newspaper, as inserted in the <i>Record</i> of May 15, 1843, by Merle
+  d'Aubigné; but the Dean has given a reference to the volume in which both
+  the letters he cites are preserved and accessible, viz. <i>Calvin
+  Epistles</i>, pp. 134, 135., Genev. 1616. <!-- Page 223 --><span
+  class="pagenum"><a name="page223"></a>{223}</span></p>
+
+  <p>S. Z. Z. S. justly observes that there are two points to be
+  distinguished: first, Cranmer's wish that Calvin should assist in a
+  general union of the churches protesting against Romish errors; second,
+  Calvin's offer to assist in settling the Church of England. He adds, "The
+  latter was declined; and the reason is demonstrated in Archbishop
+  Laurence's <i>Bampton Lectures</i>." I neither possess those lectures,
+  nor the volume of Calvin's epistles; but all I have seen of the
+  correspondence between him and Cranmer, in the Parker Society's editions
+  of Cranmer, and of original letters between 1537-58, and in Jenkyns'
+  <i>Remains of Cranmer</i>, indisposes me to believe that Calvin made any
+  "offer to assist in settling the Church of England." It appears from Dean
+  Jenkyns' note, vol. i. p. 346., that Archbishop Laurence made a mistake
+  in the order of the correspondence, calculated to mislead himself; and as
+  to Heylyn's assertion, <i>Eccles. Restaur.</i>, p. 65., that Calvin made
+  such an offer and "that the Archbishop (Cranmer) <i>knew</i> the man and
+  refused his offer," the Dean says:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"He gives no authority for the later part of his statement, and it can
+  hardly be reconciled with Cranmer's letter to Calvin of March 20,
+  1552."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>The contemptuous expression, he "knew the man and refused his offer,"
+  is, in fact, utterly irreconcilable with Cranmer's language in all his
+  three letters to Melancthon, to Bullinger, and to Calvin (Nos. 296, 297,
+  298. of Parker Society's edition of <i>Cranmer's Remains</i>, and Nos.
+  283, 284, 285. of Jenkyns' edition), where he tells each of the other two
+  that he had written to Calvin from his desire&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Ut in Anglia, aut alibi, doctissimorum et <i>optimorum</i> virorum
+  synodus convocaretur, in qua de puritate ecclesiasticę doctrinę, et
+  pręcipue de consensu controversię sacramentarię tractaretur."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>Or, as he said to Calvin himself:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Ut docti et pii viri, qui alios antecellunt eruditione et judicio,

+  <p>Your correspondent seems to have used the word "demonstrated" rather
+  in a surgical than in its mathematical sense.</p>
+
+  <p>Having taken up my pen to supply you with an answer to this historical
+  inquiry, I may as well notice some other articles in your No. 199. For
+  example, in p. 167., L. need not have referred your readers to
+  Halliwell's <i>Researches in Archaic Language</i> for an explanation of
+  Bacon's word "bullaces." The word may be seen in Johnson's
+  <i>Dictionary</i>, with the citation from Bacon, and instead of vaguely
+  calling it "a small black and tartish plum," your botanical readers know
+  it as the <i>Prunus insititia</i>.</p>
+
+  <p>Again, p. 173., J. M. may like to know farther, that the Duke of
+  Wellington's clerical brother was entered on the boards of St. John's
+  College, Cambridge, as Wesley, where the spelling must have been dictated
+  either by himself, or by the person authorised to desire his admission.
+  It continued to be spelt Wesley in the Cambridge annual calendars as late
+  as 1808, but was altered in that of 1809 to Wellesley. The alteration was
+  probably made by the desire of the family, and without communicating such
+  desire to the registrary of the university. For it appears in the edition
+  of <i>Graduati Cantabrigienses</i>, printed in 1823, as follows:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">

+
+  <p>In p. 173., C. M. <span class="sc">Ingleby</span> may like to know, as
+  a clue to the origin of his <i>apussee and</i>, that I was taught at

+  would call it <i>And-per-se-and</i>.</p>
+
+  <p>In the same page, the inquirer B. H. C. respecting the word
+  <i>mammon</i>, may like to know that the history of that word has been
+  given at some length in p. 1. to p. 68. of the Parker Society's edition
+  of Tyndale's <i>Parable of the wicked Mammon</i>, where I have stated
+  that it occurs in a form identical with the English in the Chaldee Targum
+  of Onkelos on Exod. viii. 21., and in that of Jonathan on Judges, v. 9.,
+  as equivalent to riches; and that in the Syriac translation it occurs in
+  a form identical with <span title="Mamōna" class="grk"
+  >&Mu;&alpha;&mu;&omega;&nu;&#x1FB6;</span>, in Exod. xxi. 30., as a

+  dir="rtl">&#x5DB;&#x5B9;&#x5E4;&#x5B6;&#x5E8;</bdo></span>, the price of

+  misprint for <i>ever</i>. The Jews did not again fall into actual
+  idolatry after the Babylonish captivity; but we are told that in the
+  sight of God covetousness is idolatry.</p>

+  Foulders, wherein are found the broken pieces of old and bruised ships,
+  some whereof have been cast thither by shipwreck; and also the trunks or
+  bodies, with the branches of old and rotten trees, cast up there
+  likewise, whereon is found a certain spume or froth, that in time
+  breedeth unto certain shells, in shape like those of a mussel, but
+  sharper pointed, and of a whitish colour; wherein is contained a thing in
+  form like a lace of silk finely woven as it were together, of a whitish
+  colour; one end whereof is fastened unto the inside of the shell, even as
+  the fish of oysters and mussels are; the other end is made fast unto the
+  belly of a rude mass or lump, which in time cometh to the shape and form
+  of a bird. When it is perfectly formed, the shell gapeth open, and the
+  first thing that appeareth is the foresaid lace or string; next come the
+  legs of the bird hanging out and as it groweth greater, it openeth the
+  shell by degrees, till at length it is all come forth, and hangeth only
+  by the bill. In short space after it cometh to full maturity, and falleth
+  into the sea, where it gathereth feathers, and groweth to a fowl, bigger
+  than a mallard, and lesser than a goose; having black legs, and a bill or
+  beak, and feathers black and white, spotted in such manner as our magpie,
+  called in some places a Pie-Annet, which the people of Lancashire call by
+  no other name than a tree-goose; which place aforesaid, and all those
+  parts adjacent, do so much abound therewith, that one of the best may be

+  <p>Gerarde, who is doubtless Butler's authority, says elsewhere, that "in

+  certain trees whereon these tree-geese and barnacles abound.</p>
+
+  <p>The conversion of the fish into a bird, however fabulous, would be
+  scarcely more astonishing than the metamorphosis which it actually
+  undergoes&mdash;the young of the little animal having no feature to
+  identify it with its final development. In its early stage (I quote from
+  Carpenter's <i>Physiology</i>, vol. i. p. 52.) it has a form not unlike
+  that of the crab, "possessing eyes and powers of free motion; but
+  afterwards, becoming fixed to one spot for the remainder of its life, it
+  loses its eyes and forms a shell, which, though composed of various
+  pieces, has nothing in common with the jointed shell of the crab."</p>

+<h3>TSAR.</h3>
+
+<p class="cenhead">(Vol. viii., p. 150.)</p>
+
+  <p>The difficulty in investigating the origin of this word is that the
+  letter <i>c</i>, "the most wonderful of all letters," says Eichhoff
+  (<i>Vergleichung der Sprachen</i>, p. 55.), sounds like <i>k</i> before
+  the vowels <i>a</i>, <i>o</i>, <i>u</i>, but before <i>e</i>, <i>i</i>,
+  in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch, as <i>s</i>, in Italian as
+  <i>tsh</i>, in German as <i>ts</i>. It is always <i>ts</i> in Polish and
+  Bohemian. In Russian it is represented by a special letter <span
+  lang="ru" title="ts" >&#x446;</span>, <i>tsi</i>; but in Celtic it is
+  always <i>k</i>. Conformably with this principle, the Russians, like the
+  Germans, Poles, and Bohemians, pronounce the Latin <i>c</i> as <i>ts</i>.
+  So Cicero in these languages is pronounced <i>Tsitsero</i>, very
+  differently from the Greeks, who called him <i>Kikero</i>. The letter
+  <i>tsi</i> is a supplementary one in Russian, having no corresponding
+  letter in the Greek alphabet, from which the Russian was formed in the
+  ninth century by St. Cyril. The word to be sought then amongst cognate
+  languages as the counterpart of <i>tsar</i> (or as the Germans write it
+  <i>czar</i>) is <i>car</i>, as pronounced in English, French, Spanish,
+  Portuguese, and Dutch. The most probable etymological connection that I
+  can discover is with the Sanscrit <a href="images/201_014.png"><img
+  src="images/201_014.png" class="middle" style="height:2ex" alt="Sanskrit:
+  car" /></a> <i>car</i>, to move, to advance; the root of the Greek <span
+  title="karrhon" class="grk"
+  >&kappa;&#x1F71;&#x1FE4;&#x1FE5;&omicron;&nu;</span>, in English
+  <i>car</i>, Latin <i>curro</i>, French <i>cours</i>. So Sanscrit
+  <i>caras</i>, <i>carat</i>, movable, nimble; Greek <span title="chraōn" class="grk"
+  >&chi;&rho;&#x1F71;&omega;&nu;</span>, Latin <i>currens</i>. And Sanscrit
+  <i>cāras</i>, motion, Greek <span title="choros" class="grk"
+  >&chi;&#x1F79;&rho;&omicron;&sigmaf;</span>, Latin <i>currus</i>,
+  <i>cursus</i>, French <i>char</i>, English <i>car</i>, <i>cart</i>,
+  &amp;c. The early Russians were doubtless wanderers, an off-shoot of the
+  people known to the Greeks as Scythians, and to the Hebrews and Arabians
+  as Gog and Magog, who travelled in <i>cars</i>, occupying first one
+  territory with their flocks, but not cultivating the land, then leaving
+  it to nature and taking up another resting-place. It is certain that the
+  Russians have many Asiatic words in their vocabulary, which must
+  necessarily have occurred from their being for more than two centuries
+  sometimes under Tatar, and sometimes under Mongol domination; and the
+  origin of this word <i>tsar</i> or <i>car</i> may leave to be sought on
+  the plateaus of North-east Asia. In the Shemitic tongues (Arabic, Hebrew,
+  Persian, &amp;c.) no connexion of sound or meaning, so probable as the
+  above Indo-European one, is to be found. The popular derivations of
+  Nabupolassar, Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, &amp;c., are not to be trusted.
+  It is remarkable, however, that these names are significant in Russian.
+  (See "N. &amp; Q.," Vol. vii., pp. 432, 433, <i>note</i>.) The cuneatic
+  inscriptions may yet throw light on these Assyrian names. In Russian the
+  kingdom is <i>Tsarstvo</i>, the king <i>Tsar</i>, his queen
+  <i>Tsarina</i>, his son is <i>Tsarevitch</i>, and his daughter
+  <i>Tsarevna</i>. The word is probably pure Russian or Slavic. The Russian
+  tsar used about two hundred years ago to be styled duke by foreign
+  courts, but he has advanced in the nomenclature of royalty to be an
+  emperor. The Russians use the word <i>imperatore</i> for emperor,
+  <i>Kesar</i> for Cęsar, and <i>samodershetse</i> for sovereign.</p>

+  <p>In Voltaire's <i>History of the Russian Empire</i>, it is stated that
+  the title of Czar may possibly be derived front the <i>Tzars</i> or
+  <i>Tchars</i> of the kingdom of Casan. When John, or Ivan Basilides,
+  Grand Prince of Russia, had completed the reduction of this kingdom, he
+  assumed this title, and it has since continued to his successors. Before
+  the reign of John Basilides, the sovereigns of Russia bore the name of
+  <i>Velike Knez</i>, that is, great prince, great lord, great chief, which
+  in Christian countries was afterwards rendered by that of great duke. The
+  Czar Michael Federovitz, on occasion of the Holstein embassy, assumed the
+  titles of Great Knez and Great Lord, Conservator of all the Russias,
+  Prince of Wolodimir, Moscow, Novogorod, &amp;c., Tzar of Casan, Tzar of
+  Astracan, Tzar of Siberia. The name of <i>Tzar</i> was therefore the
+  title of those Oriental princes, and therefore it is more probable for it
+  to have been derived from the <i>Tshas</i> of Persia than from the Roman
+  Cęsars, whose name very likely never reached the ears of the Siberian
+  Tzars on the banks of the Oby. In another part of Voltaire's
+  <i>History</i>, when giving an account of the celebrated battle of Narva,
+  where Charles XII., with nine thousand men and ten pieces of cannon,
+  defeated "the Russian army with eighty thousand fighting men, supported
+  by one hundred and forty-five pieces of cannon," he says, "Among the
+  captives was the son of a King of Georgia, whom Charles sent to
+  Stockholm; his name was <i>Mittelesky Czarowitz</i>, or Czar's Son, which
+  is farther proof that the title of Czar or Tzar was not originally
+  derived from the Roman Cęsars." To the above slightly abbreviated
+  description may not be uninterestingly added the language of Voltaire,
+  which immediately follows the first reference:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">

+<h3>"LAND OF GREEN GINGER."</h3>
+
+<p class="cenhead">(Vol. viii., p. 160.)</p>
+
+  <p>I wish that <span class="sc">R. W. Elliot</span> of Clifton, whom I
+  recognise as a former inhabitant of Hull, had given the authority on
+  which he states, that "It is so called from the sale of ginger having
+  been chiefly carried on there in early times." The name of this street
+  has much puzzled the local antiquaries; and having been for several years
+  engaged on a work relative to the derivations, &amp;c., of the names of
+  the streets of Hull, I have spared no pains to ascertain the history and
+  derivation of the singular name of this street.</p>
+
+  <p>I offer then a conjecture as to its derivation as follows:&mdash;The
+  ground on which this street stands was originally the property of De la
+  Pole, Duke of Suffolk, on which he had built his stately manor-house. On
+  the attainder of the family it was seized by the king; and Henry VIII.
+  several times held his court here, on one of his visits having presented
+  his sword to the corporation. It was then, 1538, called Old Beverley
+  Street, as seen in the survey made of the estates of Sir William Sydney,
+  Kt. In a romance called <i>Piraute el Blanco</i>, it is stated "The
+  morning collation at the English Court was <i>green ginger</i> with good
+  Malmsey, which was their custom, because of the coldness of the land."
+  And in the <i>F&oelig;dera</i>, vii. 233., it is stated that, among other
+  things, the cargo of a Genoese ship, which was driven ashore at Dunster,
+  in Somersetshire, in 1380, consisted of green ginger (ginger cured with
+  lemon-juice). In Hollar's Map of Hull, 1640, the street is there laid out
+  as built upon, but without any name attached to it. No other plans of
+  Hull are at present known to exist from the time of Hollar, 1640, to
+  Gent, 1735. In Gent's plan of Hull, it is there called "The Land of Green
+  Ginger;" so that probably, between the years 1640 and 1735, it received
+  its peculiar name.</p>
+
+  <p>I therefore conjecture that, as Henry VIII. kept his Court here with
+  his usual regal magnificence, green ginger would be one of the luxuries
+  of his table; that this portion of his royal property being laid out as a
+  garden, was peculiarly suitable for the growth of ginger&mdash;the same
+  as Pontefract was for the growth of the liquorice plant; and that, upon
+  the property being built upon, the remembrance of this spot being so
+  suitable for the growth of ginger for the Court, would eventually give
+  the peculiar name, in the same way that the adjoining street of
+  Bowl-Alley-Lane received its title from the bowling-green near to it.</p>

+  inquired of old persons likely to know the origin of such names of places
+  at that sea-port as "The Land of Green Ginger," "Pig Alley,"
+  "Mucky-south-end," and "Rotten Herring Staith;" and I have come to the
+  conclusion, that "The Land of Green Ginger" was a very dirty place where
+  horses were kept: a mews, in short, which none of the Muses, not even
+  with Homer as an exponent, could exalt (<span title="'Epea pteroenta en athanatoisi theoisi'" class="grk"

+  of poesy.</p>
+
+  <p>Ginger has been cultivated in this country as a <i>stove</i> exotic
+  for about two hundred and fifty years. In one of the histories of Hull,
+  ginger is supposed to have grown in this street, where, to a recent
+  period, the stables of the George Inn, and those of a person named Foster
+  opposite, occupied the principal portion of the short lane called "Land
+  of Green Ginger." It is hardly possible that the true zingiber can have
+  grown here, even in the manure heaps; but a plant of the same order
+  (<i>Zingiberaceę</i>) may have been mistaken for it. Some of the old
+  women or marine school-boys of the Trinity House, in the adjoining lane
+  named from that guild, or some druggist, may have dropped, either
+  accidentally or experimentally, a root, if not of the ginger, yet of some
+  kindred plant. The magnificent <i>Fuchsia</i> was first noticed in the
+  possession of a seaman's wife by Fuchs in 1501, a century prior to the
+  introduction of the ginger plant into England.</p>

+<h3>PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.</h3>
+
+  <p><i>Stereoscopic Angles</i>.&mdash;The discussion in "N. &amp; Q."
+  relative to the best angle for stereoscopic pictures has gone far towards
+  a satisfactory conclusion: there are, however, still a few points which
+  may be beneficially considered.</p>
+
+  <p>In the first place, the kind of stereoscope to be used must tend to
+  modify the mental impression; and secondly, the <i>amount</i> of
+  reduction from the size of the original has a considerable influence on
+  the final result.</p>
+
+  <p>If in viewing a stereoscopic pair of photographs, they are placed
+  <i>at the same distance</i> from the eyes as the <i>length of the focus
+  of the lens used in producing them</i>, then without doubt the distance
+  between the eyes, viz. about two and a quarter <!-- Page 228 --><span
+  class="pagenum"><a name="page228"></a>{228}</span>inches, is the best
+  difference between the two points of view to produce a perfectly natural
+  result; and if the points of operation be more distant from one another,
+  as I have before intimated, an effect is produced similar to what would
+  be the case if the pictures were taken from a <i>model</i> of the object
+  instead of the object itself.</p>
+
+  <p>When it is intended that the pictures taken are to be viewed by an
+  instrument that requires their distance from the eyes to be <i>less</i>
+  than the focal length of the lens used in their formation, what is the
+  result? Why, that they subtend an angle larger than in nature, and are
+  consequently apparently <i>increased</i> in bulk; and the obvious remedy
+  is to <i>increase</i> the angle between the points of generation in the
+  exact ratio as that by which the visual distance is to be lessened. There
+  is one other consideration to which I would advert, viz. that as we judge
+  of <i>distance</i>, &amp;c. mainly by the degree of <i>convergence</i> of
+  the optic axes of our two eyes, it cannot be so good to arrange the
+  camera with its two positions quite parallel, especially for objects at a
+  short or medium distance, as to let its centre radiate from the principal
+  object to be delineated; and to accomplish this desideratum in the
+  readiest way (for portraits especially), the ingenious contrivance of Mr.
+  Latimer Clark, described in the <i>Journal</i> of the Photographic
+  Society, appears to me the best adapted. It consists of a modification of
+  the old parallel ruler arrangement on which the camera is placed; but one
+  of the sides has an adjustment, so that within certain limits any degree
+  of convergence is attainable. Now in the case of the pictures alluded to
+  by <span class="sc">Mr. H. Wilkinson</span> in Vol. viii., p. 181., it is
+  probable they were taken by a camera placed in two positions parallel to
+  one another, and it is quite clear that only a <i>portion</i> of the two
+  pictures could have been really stereoscopic. It is perfectly true that
+  two indifferent negatives will often combine and form one good
+  stereoscopic positive, but this is in consequence of one possessing that
+  in which the other is deficient; and at any rate two <i>good</i> pictures
+  will have a <i>better</i> effect; consequently, it is better that the two
+  views should contain exactly the same <i>range</i> of vision.</p>

+  <p><i>Protonitrate of Iron</i>.&mdash;"Being in the habit of using
+  protonitrate of iron for developing collodion pictures, the following
+  method of preparing that solution suggested itself to me, which appears
+  to possess great advantages:&mdash;</p>
+
+  <div class="poem">
+    <div class="stanza">
+      <p>Water                       1 oz.</p>
+      <p>Protosulphate of iron      14 grs.</p>
+      <p>Nitrate of potash          10 grs.</p>
+      <p>Acetic acid                 ½ drm.</p>
+      <p>Nitric acid                 2 drops.</p>
+    </div>
+  </div>
+  <p>In this mixture nitrate of potash is employed to convert the sulphate
+  of iron into nitrate in place of nitrate of baryta in Dr. Diamond's
+  formula, or nitrate of lead as recommended by Mr. Sisson; the advantage
+  being that no filtering is required, as the sulphate of potash (produced
+  by the double decomposition) is soluble in water, and does not interfere
+  with the developing qualities of the solution.</p>
+
+  <p>"The above gives the bright deposit of silver so much admired in Dr.
+  Diamond's pictures, and will be found to answer equally well either for
+  positives or negatives. If the nitric acid be omitted, we obtain the
+  effects of protonitrate of iron prepared in the usual way.&mdash;<span

+  I have no doubt, a subject of interest to many who, like myself, are
+  busily occupied during the day, and have only their evenings for
+  scientific pursuits: while it is obvious, that if such a process can be
+  successfully practised, there are many objects&mdash;such as
+  <i>prints</i>, <i>coins</i>, <i>seals</i>, <i>objects of natural history
+  and antiquity</i>&mdash;which might well be copied by it, even though
+  artificial light should prove far slower in its action than solar

+  an old woman, who weeded his garden."</p>
+
+  <p>Since the death of Mr. Surtees, however, it has been ascertained that
+  this ballad, as well as "The Death of Featherstonhaugh," and some others

+  in branding with a hot iron, under the camel's upper lip, their own
+  peculiar mark,&mdash;a very necessary precaution, it must be allowed,
+  with people who are so well known for their pilfering propensities, not

+  I was asking an old man, who had been absent from home, where he had been
+  to? His reply was, "To Old Weston, Sir. You know I must go there before I
+  die." Knowing that he had relatives living there, I did not, at the time,
+  notice anything extraordinary in the answer; but, since reading <span

+  saying is a common one on this (the Northamptonshire) side of Old Weston,
+  as well as in Huntingdonshire. I have been unable to obtain any

+  be right. One of my informants (an old woman upwards of seventy) told me

+  Scotland, where the ballad of "We'll gang nae mair a-roving," is a great
+  favourite. King James is the <i>subject</i> of the ballad. That merry

+  beggarman. The damsel, to whom he successfully paid his addresses, saw
+  through the disguise at first; but from the king's good acting, when he
+  pretended to be afraid that the dongs would "rive his meal pokes," she
+  began to think she had been mistaken. Then she expressed her disgust by
+  saying, that she had thought her lover could not be anything less than

+  <p><i>Strut-Stowers and Yeathers or Yadders</i> (Vol. viii., p.
+  148.).&mdash;The former of these words is, I believe, obsolete, or nearly
+  so. It means bracing-stakes: <i>strut</i>, in carpentry, is to
+  <i>brace</i>; and <i>stower</i> is a small kind of stake, as
+  distinguished from the "ten stakes" mentioned in the legend quoted by
+  <span class="sc">Mr. Cooper.</span></p>
+
+  <p>The other word, <i>Yeather</i> or <i>Yadder</i>, is yet in use in
+  Northumberland (vid. Brockett's <i>Glossary</i>), and is mentioned by
+  Charlton in his <i>History of Whitby</i>. The legend referred to by <span
+  class="sc">Mr. Cooper</span> is, I suspect, of modern origin but Dr.
+  Young, in his <i>History of Whitby</i>, vol. i. p. 310., attributes it to
+  some of the monks of the abbey; on what grounds he does not say. The
+  records of the abbey contain no allusion to the legend; and no ancient
+  MS. of it, either in Latin or English, has ever been produced. The
+  <i>penny-hedge</i> is yearly renewed to this day but it is a service
+  performed for a different reason than that attributed in the legend. (See
+  Young and Charlton's histories.)</p>
+
+  <p class="author">F. M.
+
+  <p>The term <i>strut</i> is commonly used by carpenters for a brace or
+  stay. <i>Stower</i>, in Bailey's <i>Dictionary</i>, is a stake; Halliwell
+  spells it <i>stoure</i>, and says it is still in use. Forby connects the
+  Norfolk word <i>stour</i>, stiff, inflexible, applied to standing corn,
+  with this word, which he says is Lowland Scotch, and derives them both
+  from Sui.-G. <i>stoer</i>, stipes. A <i>yeather</i> or <i>yadder</i>
+  seems to be a rod to wattle the stakes with. In Norfolk, wattling a live
+  fence is called <i>ethering</i> it, which word, evidently with
+  <i>yeather</i>, may be derived from A.-S. <i>ether</i> or <i>edor</i>, a
+  hedge. The barons, therefore, had to drive their stakes perpendicularly
+  into the sand, to put the strut-stowers diagonally to enable them to
+  withstand the force of the tide, and finally to wattle them together with
+  the yeathers.</p>

+
+  <p><i>Arms of See of York</i> (Vol. viii., p. 111.).&mdash;It appears
+  that the arms of the See of York were certainly changed during Wolsey's
+  time, for on the vaulting of Christ Church Gate, Canterbury, is a shield
+  bearing (in sculpture) the same arms as those now used by the
+  Metropolitan See of Canterbury, impaling those of Wolsey, and over the
+  shield a cardinal's hat. This gateway was built in 1517; yet in the
+  parliament roll of 6th Henry VIII., 1515, the <i>keys</i> and
+  <i>crown</i> are impaled with the arms of Wolsey as Archbishop of York
+  (see fac-simile, published by Willement, 4to. Lond. 1829), showing that
+  the alteration was not generally known when the gateway was built.</p>
+
+  <p>Although the charges on the earlier arms of the See of York were the
+  same as on that of Canterbury, the colours of their fields differed; for
+  in a north window of the choir of York Minster is a shield of arms,
+  bearing the arms of Archbishop Bowett, who held the see from 1407 to
+  1423, impaled by the pall and pastoral staff, on a field <i>gules</i>.

+  did not emigrate from his native land. Sir John died, March 26, 1632,

+
+  <p>Our worthy publisher has just issued a volume which will be welcome,
+  for the excellence of its matter and the beauty of its various
+  illustrations, to all archęologists. These <i>Memoirs illustrative of the
+  History and Antiquities of Bristol and the Western Counties of Great
+  Britain, and other Communications made to the Annual Meeting of the
+  Archęological Institute held at Bristol in 1851</i>, certainly equal in
+  interest and variety any of their predecessors, and whether as a memorial
+  of their visit to Bristol to those who attended the meeting, or as a
+  pleasant substitute to those who did not, will doubtless find a
+  resting-place on the shelf of every member of the Society whose
+  proceedings they record.</p>
+
+  <p>We cannot better recommend to our readers Dr. Madden's newly published
+  <i>Life and Martyrdom of Savonarola, illustrative of the History of
+  Church and State Connexion</i>, than by stating that this remarkable man,
+  whom some Protestants have claimed as of their own creed, while as many
+  Romanists have rejected him as a heretic, is viewed by Dr. Madden as a
+  monk of Florence at the close of the fifteenth century, who was of
+  opinion that the mortal enemy of Christ's gospel in all ages of the world
+  had been mammon; that simony was the sin against the Holy Ghost; that the
+  interests of religion were naturally allied with those of liberty; that
+  the Arts were the handmaids of both, of a Divine origin, and were given
+  to earth for purposes that tended to spiritualise humanity; and who
+  directed all his teachings, preachings, and writings to one great object,
+  namely, <i>the separation of religion from all worldly influences</i>. On
+  this theme Dr. Madden discourses with great learning, and, some few
+  passages excepted, with great moderation; and the result is a Life of
+  Savonarola, which gives a far more complete view of his character and his
+  writings than has heretofore been attempted.</p>

+  Postmaster-General; and, as it includes the Junius period, gives occasion

+  <p>"This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent,
+  nourishing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many cases, all
+  kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful in confined habit of body,
+  as also diarrh&oelig;a, bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys and
+  bladder, such as stone or gravel; inflammatory irritation and cramp of
+  the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and

+  satisfactory result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary complaints,
+  where irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pulmonary and
+  bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually the
+  troublesome cough; and I am enabled with perfect truth to express the

+  Domestic buildings of the period, from cotemporary records, and applying
+  the information so acquired to the existing remains.</p>
+
+  <p>Not only does the volume contain much curious information both as to
+  the buildings and manners and customs of the time, but it is also hoped
+  that the large collection of careful Engravings of the finest examples
+  will prove as serviceable to the profession and their employers in
+  building mansions, as the Glossary was found to be in building
+  churches.</p>

+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.

+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+

+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the

+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked

+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with

+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or

+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+"THAT SWINNEY."
+
+Junius thus wrote to H. S. Woodfall in a private note, to which Dr. Good
+has affixed the date July 21st, 1769 (vol. i. p. 174.*)
+
+    "That Swinney is a wretched but dangerous fool. He had the impudence to
+    go to Lord G. Sackville, whom he had never spoken to, and to ask him
+    whether or no he was the author of Junius: take care of him."
+
+This paragraph has given rise to a great deal of speculation, large
+inferences have been drawn from it, yet no one has satisfactorily answered
+the question, who was "that Swinney?"
+
+That neither Dr. Good nor Mr. George Woodfall, the editors of the edit. of
+1812, knew anything about him, is manifest from their own bald note of
+explanation, "A correspondent of the printers." Some reports say that he
+was a collector of news for the _Public Advertiser_, and subsequently a
+bookseller at Birmingham, but I never saw any one fact adduced tending to
+show that there was any person of that name so employed. Others that the
+Rev. Dr. Sidney Swinney was the party referred to: and Mr. Smith, in his
+excellent notes to the _Grenville Papers_, vol. iii. p. lxviii., _assumes_
+this to be the fact. I incline to agree with him, but have only inference
+to strengthen conjecture. What may be the value of that inference will
+appear in the progress of this inquiry, Who was Dr. Sidney Swinney?
+
+Reports collected by Mr. Butler, Mr. Barker, Mr. Coventry, and others, say
+that the Doctor had been chaplain to the Russian Embassy, chaplain to the
+Embassy at Constantinople, and chaplain to one of the British regiments
+serving in Germany. Mr. Falconer, in his _Secret Revealed_, p. 22., quotes
+a paragraph from one of Wray's letters to Lord Hardwick with reference to
+the proceedings at the Royal Society:
+
+    "Dr. Swinney, your Lordship's friend, presented his father-in-law
+    Howell's book."
+
+Swinney's father-in-law, here called Howell, was John Zephaniah Holwell, a
+remarkable man, whose name is intimately associated with the early history
+of British India, one of the few survivors of the Black Hole imprisonment,
+the successor of {214} Clive as governor, and a writer on many subjects
+connected with Hindoo antiquities. Swinney enrols him amongst his heroes,
+
+ "Holwell, Clive, York, Lawrence, Adams, Coote,
+  Of Draper, Bath-strung for his baffled suit."
+
+And he refers, in a note, to those
+
+    "Ungrateful monsters (heretofore in a certain trading company), who
+    have endeavoured to vilify and sully one of the brightest characters
+    that ever existed."
+
+I learn farther, from a volume of _Fugitive Pieces_, published by Dr.
+Swinney, that he was the son of Major Mathew Swinney, whom after his
+flourishing fashion he calls on another occasion "Mathew Swinney of
+immortal memory;" from one of his dedications that the Doctor himself was
+educated at Eton; from the books of the Royal Society that he was of Clare
+Hall, Cambridge; from dates and dedications, that from 1764 to 1768, he was
+generally resident at Scarborough; and from the _Gentleman's Magazine_,
+that he died there 12th November, 1783.
+
+That Swinney had been chaplain to the Russian Embassy I have no reason to
+believe; but that he had been in the East for a time, possibly as chaplain
+to the Embassy at Constantinople, is asserted in the brief biographical
+notice in the _Gentleman's Magazine_, and would _seem to be proved_ by a
+work which he published in 1769, called--
+
+    "A Tour through some parts of the Levant: in which is included An
+    Account of the Present State of the Seven Churches in Asia. Also a
+    brief Explanation of the Apocalypse. By Sidney Swinney, D.D."
+
+Nothing, however, can be inferred from a title-page of Swinney's. Here we
+have two or three distinct works referred to:--_A Tour_, including "An
+Account of the Seven Churches," and the "Explanation of the Apocalypse."
+Now I must direct attention to the fact, that from the peculiar punctuation
+and phraseology--the full-stop after Asia in this title-page--it may have
+been Swinney's intention to indicate, without asserting, that the Account
+of the Apocalypse _only_ was by Sidney Swinney. If so, though Swinney's
+name alone figures in the title-page of the work, he is responsible only
+for one or two notes!
+
+I would not have written conjecturally on this subject if I could have
+avoided it; but though Swinney was a F.A.S. F.R.S., and though the work is
+dedicated to the Fellows of those Societies, no copy of it is to be found
+in the libraries of either, or in the British Museum. I cannot, therefore,
+be sure that my own copy is perfect. What that copy contains is thus set
+forth in half a dozen lines of introduction:
+
+    "Before I [S. S.] enter upon the more important part of my dissertation
+    [The Explanation of the Apocalypse], it may not be improper to give you
+    some account of the present state of the Seven Churches in Asia, as
+    they are, _which was communicated to me_ by a certain _friend of mine_,
+    in the description of a short tour which _he_ made through the
+    principal parts of the Levant: should they be accompanied with a few
+    casual notes _of my own_, I trust the work will not be less acceptable
+    to you on that account."
+
+It must be obvious, after this declaration, that the _Tour_ set forth so
+conspicuously in the title-page, was not written by Swinney. Now the
+"Itinerary" which follows is advowedly "wrote by _the author of the
+preceding account_," and this brings the reader and the work itself to "The
+End!"
+
+The truth I suspect to have been this:--Swinney was not prudent and was
+poor, and raised money occasionally, after the miserable fashion of the
+time, by publishing books on subscription, and receiving subscriptions in
+anticipation of publication.
+
+About this time, from 1767 to 1769, he published a _Sermon_; _The Ninth
+Satire of Horace_, a meaningless trifle of a hundred lines, swollen, by
+printing the original and notes, into a quarto; a volume of _Fugitive
+Pieces_; and the first canto of _The Battle of Minden, a Poem in three
+Books, enriched with critical Notes by Two Friends, and with explanatory
+Notes by the Author_. Of the latter work, as of the _Tour_, I have never
+seen but one copy, a splendid specimen of typography, splendidly bound,
+containing the first and second canto. Whether the third canto was ever
+published is to me doubtful; some of your correspondents may be able to
+give you information. My own impression is that it was not, and for the
+following reasons.
+
+Swinney, it appears, had received subscriptions for the work, and promised
+in his prospectus _a plan of the battle_, and _portraits_ of the heroes,
+which the work does not contain. "However, to make some little amends" to
+his "generous subscribers," Swinney announces his intention to present them
+with "_three_ books instead of _one_."
+
+The first book is dedicated to Earl Waldegrave, who commanded "the six
+British regiments of infantry" on the "ever memorable 1st August, 1759,"
+and a note affixed states that "Book the Second" will be published on 1st
+January, and "Book the Third" on 1st of August.
+
+But the public, as Swinney says, were kept "in suspense" almost three years
+for the second book, which was not published until 1772; and in the
+dedication of this second book, also to Earl Waldegrave, Swinney says:
+
+    "Doubtless many of my subscribers have thought me very unmindful of the
+    promise I made them in my printed proposal, in which I undertook to
+    publish my poem out of hand. Ill health has been the sole cause of my
+    disappointing their expectations. A fever of the nerves ... for these
+    four years, has rendered me incapable.... In my original proposals I
+    undertook to publish this work in two books. [In the introduction he
+    says, as I have just quoted, _one_ book.] Poetical {215} matter hath
+    increased upon me to such a degree, in the genial climate of Languedoc,
+    as to have enabled me to compose several more books on this interesting
+    subject, all which I purpose presenting my subscribers with at the
+    original price of half a guinea.... Many months ago this Second Book
+    was printed off; but on my arrival in town from Montauban (whither I
+    purpose to return), I found there were so many faults and blunders in
+    it throughout, that I was under the necessity of condemning five
+    hundred copies to the inglorious purpose of defending pye bottoms from
+    the dust of an oven.... Profit, my Lord, has not been my motive for
+    publishing: if it had, I should be egregiously disappointed, for
+    instead of gaining I shall be a considerable loser by the publication;
+    and yet many of my subscribers have _given me four, five, and six times
+    over and above the subscription-price for my Poem. How even the
+    remaining books will see the light must depend entirely upon my
+    pecuniary, not my poetical abilities_. The work is well nigh completed;
+    but not one solitary brother have I throughout the airy regions of Grub
+    Street who is poorer than I. It is not impossible, however, but when
+    _some of my partial friends shall know this_, they may _enable me by
+    their bounty_ to publish out of hand."
+
+This leads me to doubt whether the third book was ever published, for I
+think the most "partial" of his friends--those who had given "four, five,
+and six times over and above the subscription price"--must have had enough
+in two books. If it were not published, it is a curious fact that, in a
+poem called _The Battle of Minden_, the battle of Minden is not mentioned;
+though not more extraordinary perhaps than the omissions of the
+"Explanation of the Apocalypse" in his previous work.
+
+I come now to the question, Why did Junius speak so passionately and
+disrespectfully of Swinney, and what are the probabilities that Swinney had
+never before (July) 1769 spoken to Lord G. Sackville? These I must defer
+till next week.

+MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTION IN PETERBOROUGH CATHEDRAL.
+
+The following Notes occur on a fly-leaf at the end of a copy of Gunton's
+_History of Peterborough Cathedral_, and appear to have been written soon
+after that book was printed:
+
+    "Among other things omitted in this history, I cannot but take notice
+    of one ancient inscription upon a tomb in y^e body of the church,
+    written in old Saxon letters, as followeth:
+
+    [Cross] 'WS : KI : PAR : CI : PASSEZ : PVR : LE : ALME : ESTRAVNGE : DE
+    : WATERVILLE : PRIEZ.'
+
+    "This inscription may seem to challenge some relation to William de
+    Waterville, one of the abbots of this church. (See p. 23.)"

+_Superstition of the Cornish Miners_ (Vol. viii., p. 7.).--I cannot find
+the information desired by your correspondent in the Cornish antiquaries,
+and have in vain consulted other works likely to explain this tradition;
+but the remarks now offered will perhaps be interesting in reference to the
+_nation_ alluded to. The Carthaginians being of the same race, manners, and
+religion as the Phoenicians, there are no particular data by which we can
+ascertain the time of their first trading to the British coast for the
+commodity in such request among the traders of the East. The genius of
+Carthage being more martial than that of Tyre, whose object was more
+commerce than conquest, it is not improbable that the former might by force
+of arms have established a settlement in the Cassiterides, and by this
+means have secured that monopoly of tin which the Phoenicians and their
+colonies indubitably enjoyed for several centuries. Norden, in his
+_Antiquities of Cornwall_, mentions it as a tradition universally received
+by the inhabitants, that their tin mines were formerly wrought by the Jews.
+He adds that these old works are there at this day called Attal Sarasin,
+the ancient {216} cast-off works of the Saracens, in which their tools are
+frequently found. Miners are not accustomed to be very accurate in
+distinguishing traders of foreign nations, and these Jews and Saracens have
+probably a reference to the old merchants from Spain and Africa; and those
+employed by them might possibly have been Jews escaped the horrors of
+captivity and the desolation which about that period befel their country.
+
+    "The Jews," says Whitaker (_Origin of Arianism_, p. 334.), "denominated
+    themselves, and were denominated by the Britons of Cornwall,
+    _Saracens_, as the genuine progeny of Sarah. The same name, no doubt,
+    carried the same reference with it as borne by the genuine, and as
+    usurped by the spurious, offspring of Abraham."

+_Northamptonshire Folk Lore_ (Vol. vii., p. 146.).--In Norfolk, a ring made

+a silversmith, with a request that he would make them into a ring; but
+131/2d. was not tendered to him for making, nor do I think that any
+threehalfpences are collected for payment. After the patient had left the
+shop, the silversmith informed me that such requests were of frequent
+occurrence, and that he supplied the patients with thick silver rings, but
+never took the trouble to manufacture them from the sixpences.
+
+A similar superstition supposes that the sole of the left shoe of a person
+of the same age, but opposite sex, to the patient, reduced to ashes is a
+cure for St. Anthony's fire. I have seen it applied with success, but
+suppose its efficacy is due to some astringent principle in the ashes.

+
+SHAKSPEARE CORRESPONDENCE.
+
+_On Two Passages in Shakspeare._--Taking up a day or two since a Number of
+"N. & Q.," my attention was drawn to a new attempt to give a solution of
+the difficulty which has been the torment of commentators in the following
+passage from the Third Act of _Romeo and Juliet_:
+
+ "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds,
+  Towards Phoebus' mansion; such a waggoner
+  As Phaeton would whip you to the West,
+  And bring in cloudy night immediately.--
+  Spread thy close curtain, love-performing Night,
+  That _runaways'_ eyes may wink, and Romeo
+  Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen."
+
+"Runaways'" being a manifest absurdity, the recent editors have substituted
+"unawares," an uncouth alteration, which, though it has a glimmering of
+sense, appears to me almost as absurd as the word it supplies. In this
+dilemma your correspondent MR. SINGER ingeniously suggests the true reading
+to be,--
+
+ "That _rumourers'_ eyes may wink, and Romeo
+  Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen."
+
+No doubt this is a felicitous emendation, though I think it may be fairly
+objected that a rumourer, being one who deals in what he hears, as opposed
+to an observer, who reports what he sees, there is a certain
+inappropriateness in speaking of a rumourer's eyes. Be this as it may, I
+beg to suggest another reading, which has the merit of having spontaneously
+occurred to me on seeing the word "runaways'" in your correspondent's
+paper, as if obviously suggested by the combination of letters in that
+word. I propose that the passage should be read thus:
+
+ "Spread thy close curtain, love-performing Night,
+  That _rude day's_ eyes may wink, and Romeo
+  Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen."
+
+A subsequent reference to Juliet's speech has left no doubt in my mind that
+this is the true reading, and so obviously so, as to make it a wonder that
+it should have been overlooked. She first asks the "fiery-footed steeds" to
+bring in "cloudy night," then night to close her curtain (that day's eyes
+may wink), that darkness may come, under cover of which Romeo may hasten to
+her. In the next two lines she shows why this darkness is propitious, and
+then, using an unwonted epithet, invokes night to give her the opportunity
+of darkness:
+
+             "Come, _civil_ night,
+  Thou sober suited matron all in black,
+  And learn me how to lose a winning game," &c.
+
+The peculiar and unusual epithet "civil," here applied to night, at once
+assured me of the accuracy of the proposed reading, it having evidently
+suggested itself as the antithesis of "rude" just before applied to day;
+the civil, accommodating, concealing night being thus contrasted with the
+unaccommodating, revealing day. It is to be remarked, moreover, that as
+this epithet _civil_ is, through its ordinary signification, brought into
+connexion with what precedes it, so is it, through its unusual meaning of
+_grave_, brought into connexion with what follows, it thus furnishing that
+equivocation of sense of which our great dramatist is so fond, rarely
+missing an opportunity of "paltering with us in a double sense."
+
+I think, therefore, I may venture to offer you the proposed emendation as
+rigorously fulfilling all the requirements of the text, while at the same
+time it necessitates a very trifling literal disturbance of the old
+reading, since by the simple change of the letters _naw_ into _ded_, we
+convert "runaways'" into "rude day's," of which it was a very easy
+misprint.
+
+Having offered you an emendation of my own, I cannot miss the opportunity
+of sending you {217} another, for which I am indebted to a critical student
+of Shakspeare, my friend Mr. W. R. Grove, the Queen's Counsel. In _All's
+Well that ends Well_, the third scene of the Second Act opens with the
+following speech from Lafeu:
+
+    "They say miracles are past; and we have our philosophical persons to
+    make modern and familiar things, supernatural and causeless. Hence is
+    it that we make trifles of terrors; ensconcing ourselves in a seeming
+    knowledge when we should submit ourselves to an unknown fear."
+
+On reading this passage as thus printed, it will be seen that the two
+sentences of which it is composed are in direct contradiction to each
+other; the first asserting that we have philosophers who give a causeless
+and supernatural character to things ordinary and familiar: the second
+stating as the result of this, "that we make trifles of terrors," whereas
+the tendency would necessarily be to make "terrors of trifles." The
+confusion arises from the careless pointing of the first sentence. By
+simply shifting the comma at present after "things," and placing it after
+"familiar," the discrepancy between the two sentences disappears, as also
+between the two members of the first sentence, which are now at variance.
+It should be pointed thus:
+
+    "They say miracles are past; and we have our philosophical persons to
+    make modern and familiar, things supernatural and causeless."
+
+It is singular that none of the editors should have noticed this defect,
+which I have no doubt will hereafter be removed by the adoption of a simple
+change, that very happily illustrates the importance of correct
+punctuation.

+
+_Shakspeare's Skull_.--As your publication has been the medium of many
+valuable comments upon Shakspeare, and interesting matter connected with
+him, I am induced to solicit information, if you will allow me, on the
+following subject. I have the _Works of Shakspeare_, which being in one
+volume 8vo., I value as being more portable than any other edition. It was
+published by Sherwood without any date affixed, but probably about 1825.
+There is a memoir prefixed by Wm. Harvey, Esq., in which, p. xiii., it is
+stated that while a vault was being made close to Shakspeare's, when Dr.
+Davenport was rector, a young man perceiving the tomb of Shakspeare open,
+introduced himself so far within the vault that he could have brought away
+the skull, but he was deterred from doing so by the anathema inscribed on
+the monument, of--
+
+    "Curs'd be he that moves my bones."
+
+This is given upon the authority of Dr. Nathan Drake's work on Shakspeare,
+in two vols. 4to. Now in this work much is given which is copied into the
+memoir, but I do not there find this anecdote, and perhaps some reader of
+"N. & Q." may supply this deficiency, and state where I may find it. I may
+be allowed to state, that Pope's skull was similarly stolen and another
+substituted.
+
+I annex Wheler's remark that no violation of the grave had, up to the time
+of his work, taken place.
+
+    "Through a lapse of nearly two hundred years have his ashes remained
+    undisturbed, and it is to be hoped no sacrilegious hand will ever be
+    found to violate the sacred repository."--_History of
+    Stratford-upon-Avon_, by R. B. Wheler (circa 1805?), 8vo.

+_On a Passage in "Macbeth."_--MR. SINGLETON (Vol. vii., p. 404.) says,
+"Vaulting ambition, that _o'erleaps_ itself," is nonsense--the thing is
+impossible; and proposes that "vaulting ambition" should "rest his hand
+upon the pommel, and _o'erleap_ the saddle (sell)," a thing not uncommon in
+the feats of horsemanship.
+
+Did MR. SINGLETON never _o'erleap_ himself, and be too late--later than
+_himself_ intended? Did he never, in his younger days, amuse himself with a
+_soprasalto_; or with what Donne calls a "vaulter's sombersault?" Did he
+never hear of any little plunderer, climbing a wall, _o'erreaching_ himself
+to pluck an apple, and falling on the other side, into the hands of the
+gardener? "By like," says Sir Thomas More, "the manne there _overshotte_
+himself."
+
+What was the _manne_ about? Attempting such a perilous gambol, perhaps, as
+correcting Shakspeare.
+
+To {overleap, overreach, overshoot} himself are merely, to {leap, reach,
+shoot}, over or beyond the mark himself intended.

+Minor Notes.
+
+_Lemon-juice administered in Gout and Rheumatism._--At a time when
+lemon-juice seems to be frequently administered in gout and rheumatism, as
+though it were an entirely new remedy, I have been somewhat amused at the
+following passage, which may also interest some of your readers; it occurs
+in _Scelta di Lettere Familiari degli Autori piu celebri ad uso degli
+studiosi della lingua Italiana_, p. 36., in a letter "Di Don Francesco a
+Teodoro Villa":
+
+    "Io non posso star meglio di quel che sto, e forse perche uso di spesso
+    il bagno freddo, e beo limonata a pranzo e a cena da molti mesi. Questa
+    e la mia quotidiana bevanda, e dacche mi ci sono messo, m' ha fatto un
+    bene che non si puo dire. Di quelle doglie di capo, {218} che un tempo
+    mi sconquassavano le tempie, non ne sento piu una. Le vertigini, che un
+    tratto mi favorivano si di spesso, se ne sono ite. Sino un reumatismo,
+    che m' aveva afferrato per un braccio, s' e dileguato, cosi ch'io farei
+    ora alla lotta col piu valente marinaro calabrese che sia. L' appetito
+    mio pizzica del vorace. Che buona cosa il sugo d' un limone spremato
+    nell' acqua, e indolciato con un po' di zucchero! Fa di provarlo,

+  Lower your topsails and take them in:
+  If the wind comes before the rain,
+  Lower your topsails and hoist them again."
+
+The expressions in the latter two are maritime, and the rhymes not very

+_Dog Latin_.--The answer of one of your late correspondents (E. M. B., Vol.
+vii., p. 622.) on the subject of "Latin--Latiner," has revived a Query in
+your First Volume (p. 230.) as to the origin of this expression which does
+not appear to have been answered. I do not remember having seen any
+explanation of the term, but I have arrived at one for myself, and present
+it to your readers for what it is worth. Nothing, it must be admitted, can
+be more inconsistent with the usual forms of language than the Latin of
+mediaeval periods; it is often, in fact, not Latin at all, but merely a
+Latin form given to simple English or other words, and admitting of the
+greatest variety. Now of all animals the distinctions of breed are perhaps
+more numerous in the canine race than any other. The word "mongrel,"
+originally applied to one of these quadruped combinations of variety, has
+long been used to signify anything in which mixture of class existed,
+especially of a debasing kind, to which such mixture generally tends.
+Nothing could be more appropriate than the application of the term to the
+"infima latinitas" of the Middle Ages; and from "mongrel" the transition to
+the name of the genus from that of the degenerate species appears to me to
+be very easy, though fanciful.

+_Thomas Wright of Durham_.--In the _Philosophical Magazine_ for April,
+1848, I gave an account of the "Original Theory or new Hypothesis of the
+Universe" of Thomas Wright, whose anticipations of modern speculation on
+the milky way, the central sun, and some other points, make him one of the
+most remarkable astronomical thinkers of his day. In the biography in the
+_Gentleman's Magazine_ for 1793, he is described as struggling for a
+livelihood when a young man, and no account is given of the manner in which
+he obtained the handsome competence with which he emerges in 1756, or
+thereabouts. A few days after my account was published, I was informed (by
+Captain James, R.E.) that a large four-foot orrery, constructed by Wright
+for the Royal Academy at Portsmouth, was still in that town; and that by
+the title of "J. Harrises Use of the Globes" it appears that he (Wright)
+kept his shop at the _Orrery_, near Water Lane, Fleet Street (No. 136),
+under the title of instrument-maker to his Majesty. In an edition of Harris
+(the 8th, 1767), which I lately met with, the above is described as "late
+the shop of Thomas Wright," &c. By the advertisements which this work
+contains, Wright must have had an extensive business as a philosophical
+instrument-maker. The omission in the biography is a strange one. Possibly
+some farther information may fall in the way of some of your readers.

+
+LITTLECOTT--SIR JOHN POPHAM.
+
+Every one knows the tradition attached to the manor of Littlecott in
+Wiltshire, and the alleged means by which Chief Justice Sir John Popham
+acquired its possession. It is told by Aubrey, Sir Walter Scott, and many
+others, and is too notorious to be here repeated. Let me ask you or your
+learned correspondents whether there exists any refutation of a charge so
+seriously detrimental to the character of any judge, and so inconsistent
+with the reputation which Chief Justice Popham enjoyed among his
+cotemporaries? See Lord Ellesmere's notice of him in the case of the
+Postnati (_State Trials_, ii. 669.), and Sir Edward Coke's flattering
+picture of him at the end of Sir Drew Drury's case (_Reports_, vi. 75.).
+Are there any records showing that a Darell was ever in fact arraigned on a
+charge of murder, and the name of the judge who presided at the trial? Is
+the date known of the death of the last Darell who possessed the estate, or
+that of Sir John Popham's acquisition of it? The discovery of these might
+throw great light on the subject, and possibly afford a complete
+contradiction.
+
+Sir Francis Bacon, in his argument against Sir John Hollis and others for
+traducing public justice, states that--
+
+    "Popham, a great judge in his time, was complained of by petition to
+    Queen Elizabeth; it was committed {219} to four privy councillors, but
+    the same was found to be slanderous, and the parties punished in the
+    court."--_State Trials_, vol. ii. p. 1029.
+
+If this petition could be discovered, and it should turn out that the
+slander complained of in it had reference to this story, the investigation
+which it then underwent by the four privy councillors, and the chief
+justice's enjoyment of his high office for so many subsequent years, would
+go far to prove the utter falsehood of the charge. This is a "consummation
+devoutly to be wished" by every one who feels an interest in the purity of
+the bench, and particularly by the present possessors of the estate, who
+must be anxious for their ancestor's fame.
+
+Your useful publication has acted the part of the "detective police" in the
+elucidation of many points of history less interesting than this, and I
+trust you will consider the case curious enough to justify a close
+examination.

+EARLY EDITION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.
+
+I should be greatly obliged if I could obtain through "N. & Q." when,
+where, and by whom an imperfect black-letter copy of the New Testament,
+lately come into my possession, was printed, and also who was the
+translator of it.
+
+It is bound in boards, has three thongs round which the sheets are
+stitched, seems never to have been covered with cloth, leather, or other
+material like our modern books, has had clasps, and is four inches long and
+two inches thick.
+
+The chapters are divided generally into four or five parts by means of the
+first letters of the alphabet. The letters are neither placed equidistant,
+nor do they always mark a fresh paragraph.
+
+It is not divided into verses. There are a few marginal references, and the
+chapter and letter of the parallel passages are given.
+
+Crosses are placed at the heads of most chapters, and also throughout the
+text, without much apparent regularity. It contains a few rude cuts of the
+Apostles, &c. The Epistles of St. Peter and St. John are placed before that
+to the Hebrews.
+
+Letters are frequently omitted in the spelling, and this is indicated by a
+dash placed over the one preceding the omitted letter. A slanting mark (/)
+is the most frequent stop used. I will transcribe a few lines exactly as
+they occur, only not using the black-letter.

+_The Bargain Cup._--Can the old English custom of drinking together upon
+the completion of a bargain, be traced back farther than the Norman era?
+Did a similar custom exist in the earlier ages? Danl. Dyke, in his
+_Mysteries_ (London, 1634), says:
+
+    "The Jews being forbidden to make couenants with the Gentiles, they
+    also abstained from drinking with them; because that was a ceremonie
+    vsed in striking of couenants."
+
+This is the only notice I can find among old writers touching this custom,
+which is certainly one of considerable antiquity: though I should like
+confirmation of Dyke's words, before I can recognise an ancestry so remote.

+_School-Libraries._--I am desirous of ascertaining whether any of our
+public schools possess any libraries for the general reading of the
+scholars, in which I do not include mere school-books of Latin, Greek, &c.,
+which, I presume, they all possess, but such as travels, biographies, &c.
+
+Boys fresh from these schools appear generally to know nothing of general
+reading, and from the slight information I have, I fear there is nothing in
+the way of a library in any of them. If not, it is, I should think, a very
+melancholy fact, and one that deserves a little attention: but if any of
+your obliging correspondents can tell me what public school possesses such
+a thing, and the facilities allowed for reading in the school, I shall take
+it as a favour.

+Minor Queries with Answers.
+
+_Brasenose, Oxford_.--I am anxious to learn the origin and meaning of the
+word _Brasenose_. I have somewhere heard or read (though I cannot recall
+where) that it was a Saxon word, _brasen haus_ or "brewing-house;" and that
+the college was called by this name, because it was built on the site of
+the brewing-house of King Alfred. All that Ingram says on the subject is
+this:
+
+    "This curious appellation, which, whatever was the origin of it, has
+    been perpetuated by the symbol of a brazen nose here and at Stamford,
+    occurs with the modern orthography, but in one undivided word, so early
+    as 1278, in an Inquisition, now printed in the _Hundred Rolls_, though
+    quoted by Wood from the manuscript record."--See his _Memorials of
+    Oxford_.
+
+CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A.
+
+    [Our correspondent will find the notice of King Alfred's brew-house in
+    the review of Ingram's _Memorials_ in the _British Critic_, vol. xxiv.
+    p. 139. The writer says, "There is a spot in the centre of the city
+    where Alfred is said to have lived, and which may be called the native
+    place or river-head of three separate societies still existing,
+    University, Oriel, and Brasenose. Brasenose claims his palace, Oriel
+    his church, and University his school or academy. Of these Brasenose
+    College is still called, in its formal style, 'the King's Hall,' which
+    is the name by which Alfred himself, in his laws, calls his palace; and
+    it has its present singular name from a corruption of _brasinium_, or
+    _brasin-huse_, as having been originally located in that part of the
+    royal mansion which was devoted to the then important accommodation of
+    a brew-house." Churton, in his _Life of Bishop Smyth_, p. 277., thus
+    accounts for the origin of the word:--"Brasen Nose Hall, as the Oxford
+    antiquary has shown, may be traced as far back as the time of Henry
+    III., about the middle of the thirteenth century; and early in the
+    succeeding reign, 6th Edward I., 1278, it was known by the name of
+    Brasen Nose Hall, which peculiar name was undoubtedly owing, as the
+    same author observes, to the circumstance of a nose of brass affixed to
+    the gate. It is presumed, however, this conspicuous appendage of the
+    portal was not formed of the mixed metal, which the word now denotes,
+    but the genuine produce of the mine; as is the nose, or rather face, of
+    a lion or leopard still remaining at Stamford, which also gave name to
+    the edifice it adorned. And hence, when Henry VIII. debased the coin,
+    by an alloy of _copper_, it was a common remark or proverb, that
+    'Testons were gone to Oxford, to study in _Brasen_ Nose.'"]
+
+_G. Downing_.--Can any one point out to me a biography of G. Downing, or at
+least indicate a work where the dates of the birth and death of this
+celebrated statesman may be found? He was English ambassador in the Hague
+previous to and in the year 1664, and to him Downing Street in London owes
+its name. A very speedy answer would be most welcome.--From the
+_Navorscher_.
+
+A. T. C.
+
+    [In Pepys's _Diary_, vol. i. p. 2. edit. 1848, occurs the following
+    notice of Sir George Downing:--"Wood has misled us in stating that Sir
+    George Downing was a son of Dr. Calibut Downing, the rector of Hackney.
+    He was beyond doubt the son of Emmanuel Downing, a London merchant, who
+    went to New England. It is not improbable that Emmanuel was a near
+    kinsman of Calibut; how related has not yet been discovered. Governor
+    Hutchinson, in his _History of Massachusetts_, gives the true account
+    of Downing's affiliation, which has been farther confirmed by Mr.
+    Savage, of Boston, from the public records of New England. Wood calls
+    Downing a sider with all times and changes; skilled in the common cant,
+    and a preacher occasionally. He was sent by Cromwell to Holland, as
+    resident there. About the Restoration, he espoused the King's cause,
+    and was knighted and elected M. P. for Morpeth, in 1661. Afterwards,
+    becoming Secretary to the Treasury and Commissioner of the Customs, he
+    was in 1663 created a Baronet of East Hatley, in Cambridgeshire, and
+    was again sent ambassador to Holland. His grandson of the same name,
+    who died in 1749, was the founder of Downing College, Cambridge. The
+    title became extinct in 1764, upon the decease of Sir John Gerrard
+    Downing, the last heir male of the family." According to Hutchinson,
+    Sir George died in 1684.]
+
+_Unkid_.--Can any of your readers inform me as to the derivation of this
+word, or give any instance of its recent use? I have frequently heard it in
+my childhood (the early part of the present century) among the rural
+population of Oxon and Berks. It was generally applied to circumstances of
+a melancholy or distressing character, but sometimes used to express a
+peculiar state of feeling, being apparently intended to convey nearly the
+same meaning as the _ennui_ of the French. I {222} recollect an allusion to
+the phrase somewhere in Miss Mitford's writings, who speaks of it as
+peculiar to Berks; but as I was then ignorant of Captain Cuttle's maxim, I
+did not "make a note of it," so that I am unable to lay my hand on the
+passage.

+    miserable. 'I was so _unked_ when ye war away.' 'A _unked_ house,' &c.
+    Mr. Bosworth gives, as the derivative, the A.-S. _uncyd_, solitary,

+_Pilgrim's Progress_.--The common editions contain a _third_ part, setting

+have been written by Bunyan, and is omitted from some, at least, of the
+modern editions. Can any of your readers explain by whom this addition was
+made, and all about it? The subject of the _Pilgrim's Progress_
+generally--the stories of a similar kind which are said to have
+preceded--especially in Catholic times--the history of its editions and

+
+    [Mr. George Offor, in his Introduction to _The Pilgrim's Progress_,
+    published by the Hanserd Knollys Society in 1847, notices the third
+    part as a forgery:--"In a very few years after Bunyan's death, this
+    third part made its appearance; and although the title does not
+    directly say that it was written by Bunyan, yet it was at first
+    generally received as such. In 1695, it reached a second edition; and a
+    sixth in 1705. In 1708, it was denounced in the title to the ninth
+    edition of the second part, by a 'Note, _the third part, suggested to
+    be J. Bunyan's, is an imposture_.' The author of this forgery is as yet
+    unknown." Mr. Offor has also devoted fifty pages of his Introduction to
+    the conjectured prototypes of Bunyan's _Pilgrim's Progress_. He says,
+    "Every assertion or suggestion that came to my knowledge has been
+    investigated, and the works referred to have been analysed. And beyond
+    this, every allegorical work that could be found, previous to the
+    eighteenth century, has been examined in all the European languages,

+
+CRANMER AND CALVIN.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 182.)
+
+A correspondent who seems to delight in sibilants, signing, himself
+S. Z. Z. S., invites me to "_preserve_, in your columns, the letter of
+Calvin to Cranmer, of which Dean Jenkyns has only given extracts," as
+noticed by me in your Vol. vii., p. 621.
+
+I would not shrink from the trouble of transcribing the whole letter, if a
+complete copy were only to be found in the short-lived columns of a
+newspaper, as inserted in the _Record_ of May 15, 1843, by Merle d'Aubigne;
+but the Dean has given a reference to the volume in which both the letters
+he cites are preserved and accessible, viz. _Calvin Epistles_, pp. 134,
+135., Genev. 1616. {223}
+
+S. Z. Z. S. justly observes that there are two points to be distinguished:
+first, Cranmer's wish that Calvin should assist in a general union of the
+churches protesting against Romish errors; second, Calvin's offer to assist
+in settling the Church of England. He adds, "The latter was declined; and
+the reason is demonstrated in Archbishop Laurence's _Bampton Lectures_." I
+neither possess those lectures, nor the volume of Calvin's epistles; but
+all I have seen of the correspondence between him and Cranmer, in the
+Parker Society's editions of Cranmer, and of original letters between
+1537-58, and in Jenkyns' _Remains of Cranmer_, indisposes me to believe
+that Calvin made any "offer to assist in settling the Church of England."
+It appears from Dean Jenkyns' note, vol. i. p. 346., that Archbishop
+Laurence made a mistake in the order of the correspondence, calculated to
+mislead himself; and as to Heylyn's assertion, _Eccles. Restaur._, p. 65.,
+that Calvin made such an offer and "that the Archbishop (Cranmer) _knew_
+the man and refused his offer," the Dean says:
+
+    "He gives no authority for the later part of his statement, and it can
+    hardly be reconciled with Cranmer's letter to Calvin of March 20,
+    1552."
+
+The contemptuous expression, he "knew the man and refused his offer," is,
+in fact, utterly irreconcilable with Cranmer's language in all his three
+letters to Melancthon, to Bullinger, and to Calvin (Nos. 296, 297, 298. of
+Parker Society's edition of _Cranmer's Remains_, and Nos. 283, 284, 285. of
+Jenkyns' edition), where he tells each of the other two that he had written
+to Calvin from his desire--
+
+    "Ut in Anglia, aut alibi, doctissimorum et _optimorum_ virorum synodus
+    convocaretur, in qua de puritate ecclesiasticae doctrinae, et praecipue de
+    consensu controversiae sacramentariae tractaretur."
+
+Or, as he said to Calvin himself:
+
+    "Ut docti et pii viri, qui alios antecellunt eruditione et judicio,
+    convenirent."
+
+Your correspondent seems to have used the word "demonstrated" rather in a
+surgical than in its mathematical sense.
+
+Having taken up my pen to supply you with an answer to this historical
+inquiry, I may as well notice some other articles in your No. 199. For
+example, in p. 167., L. need not have referred your readers to Halliwell's
+_Researches in Archaic Language_ for an explanation of Bacon's word
+"bullaces." The word may be seen in Johnson's _Dictionary_, with the
+citation from Bacon, and instead of vaguely calling it "a small black and
+tartish plum," your botanical readers know it as the _Prunus insititia_.
+
+Again, p. 173., J. M. may like to know farther, that the Duke of
+Wellington's clerical brother was entered on the boards of St. John's
+College, Cambridge, as Wesley, where the spelling must have been dictated
+either by himself, or by the person authorised to desire his admission. It
+continued to be spelt Wesley in the Cambridge annual calendars as late as
+1808, but was altered in that of 1809 to Wellesley. The alteration was
+probably made by the desire of the family, and without communicating such
+desire to the registrary of the university. For it appears in the edition
+of _Graduati Cantabrigienses_, printed in 1823, as follows:
+
+    "Wesley, Gerard Valerian, Coll. Joh. A. M. 1792. Comitis de Mornington,
+    Fil. nat. 4^{tus}."
+
+In p. 173., C. M. INGLEBY may like to know, as a clue to the origin of his
+_apussee and_, that I was taught at school, sixty years ago, to call & _And
+per se_, whilst some would call it _And-per-se-and_.
+
+In the same page, the inquirer B. H. C. respecting the word _mammon_, may
+like to know that the history of that word has been given at some length in
+p. 1. to p. 68. of the Parker Society's edition of Tyndale's _Parable of
+the wicked Mammon_, where I have stated that it occurs in a form identical
+with the English in the Chaldee Targum of Onkelos on Exod. viii. 21., and
+in that of Jonathan on Judges, v. 9., as equivalent to riches; and that in
+the Syriac translation it occurs in a form identical with [Greek: Mamona],
+in Exod. xxi. 30., as a rendering for [Hebrew: K\holam\P\segol\R], the
+price of satisfaction. In B. H. C.'s citation from Barnes, _even_ seems a
+misprint for _ever_. The Jews did not again fall into actual idolatry after
+the Babylonish captivity; but we are told that in the sight of God
+covetousness is idolatry.

+BARNACLES.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 124.)
+
+A Querist quoting from Porta's _Natural Magic_ the vulgar error that "not
+only in Scotland, but in the river Thames, there is a kind of shell-fish
+which get out of their shells and grow to be ducks, or such like birds,"
+asks, what could give rise to such an absurd belief? Your correspondent
+quotes from the English translation of the _Magia Naturalis_, A.D. 1658;
+but the tradition is very ancient, Porta the author having died in 1515
+A.D. You still find an allusion in _Hudibras_ to those--
+
+ "Who from the most refin'd of saints,
+  As naturally grow miscreants,
+  As _barnacles_ turn Soland geese,
+  In th' islands of the Orcades."
+
+The story has its origin in the peculiar formation of the little mollusc
+which inhabits the multivalve shell, the _Pentalasmis anatifera_, which by
+a fleshy peduncle attaches itself by one end to the bottoms of ships or
+floating timber, whilst from the other {224} there protrudes a bunch of
+curling and fringe-like cirrhi, by the agitation of which it attracts and
+collects its food. These cirrhi so much resemble feathers, as to have
+suggested the leading idea of a bird's tail: and hence the construction of
+the remainder of the fable, which is thus given with grave minuteness in
+_The Herbal, or General Historie of Plants_, gathered by John Gerarde,
+Master in Chirurgerie: London, 1597:
+
+    "What our eyes have seen, and our hands have touched, we shall declare.
+    There is a small island in Lancashire called the Pile of Foulders,
+    wherein are found the broken pieces of old and bruised ships, some
+    whereof have been cast thither by shipwreck; and also the trunks or
+    bodies, with the branches of old and rotten trees, cast up there
+    likewise, whereon is found a certain spume or froth, that in time
+    breedeth unto certain shells, in shape like those of a mussel, but
+    sharper pointed, and of a whitish colour; wherein is contained a thing
+    in form like a lace of silk finely woven as it were together, of a
+    whitish colour; one end whereof is fastened unto the inside of the
+    shell, even as the fish of oysters and mussels are; the other end is
+    made fast unto the belly of a rude mass or lump, which in time cometh
+    to the shape and form of a bird. When it is perfectly formed, the shell
+    gapeth open, and the first thing that appeareth is the foresaid lace or
+    string; next come the legs of the bird hanging out and as it groweth
+    greater, it openeth the shell by degrees, till at length it is all come
+    forth, and hangeth only by the bill. In short space after it cometh to
+    full maturity, and falleth into the sea, where it gathereth feathers,
+    and groweth to a fowl, bigger than a mallard, and lesser than a goose;
+    having black legs, and a bill or beak, and feathers black and white,
+    spotted in such manner as our magpie, called in some places a
+    Pie-Annet, which the people of Lancashire call by no other name than a
+    tree-goose; which place aforesaid, and all those parts adjacent, do so
+    much abound therewith, that one of the best may be bought for
+    threepence. For the truth hereof, if any doubt, may it please them to
+    repair unto me, and I shall satisfy them by the testimony of credible
+    witnesses."--Page 1391.
+
+Gerarde, who is doubtless Butler's authority, says elsewhere, that "in the
+north parts of Scotland, and the islands called Orcades," there are certain
+trees whereon these tree-geese and barnacles abound.
+
+The conversion of the fish into a bird, however fabulous, would be scarcely
+more astonishing than the metamorphosis which it actually undergoes--the
+young of the little animal having no feature to identify it with its final
+development. In its early stage (I quote from Carpenter's _Physiology_,
+vol. i. p. 52.) it has a form not unlike that of the crab, "possessing eyes
+and powers of free motion; but afterwards, becoming fixed to one spot for
+the remainder of its life, it loses its eyes and forms a shell, which,
+though composed of various pieces, has nothing in common with the jointed
+shell of the crab."
+
+Though Porta wrote at Naples, the story has reference to Scotland; and the
+tradition is evidently northern, and local. As to SPERIEND's Query, What
+could give rise to so absurd a story? it doubtless took its origin in the
+similarity of the tentacles of the fish to feathers of a bird. But I would
+add the farther Query, whether the ready acceptance and general credence
+given to so obvious a fable, may not have been derived from giving too
+literal a construction to the text of the passage in the first chapter of
+Genesis:
+
+    "And God said, Let the _waters bring forth abundantly_ the moving
+    creature that hath life, and _the fowl_ that may fly in the open
+    firmament of heaven?"
+
+J. EMERSON TENNENT.
+
+Drayton (1613) in his _Poly-olbion_, iii., in connexion with the river Dee,
+speaks of--
+
+    "Th' anatomised fish, and fowls from planchers sprung,"
+
+to which a note is appended in Southey's edition, p. 609., that such fowls
+were "_barnacles_, a bird breeding upon old ships." In the _Entertaining
+Library_, "Habits of Birds," pp. 363-379., the whole story of this
+extraordinary instance of ignorance in natural history is amply developed.
+The barnacle shells which I once saw in a sea-port, attached to a vessel
+just arrived from the Mediterranean, had the brilliant appearance, at a
+distance, of flowers in bloom[1]; the foot of the _Lepas anatifera_
+(Linnaeus) appearing to me like the stalk of a plant growing from the ship's
+side: the shell had the semblance of a calyx, and the flower consisted of
+the fingers (_tentacula_) of the shell-fish, "of which twelve project in an
+elegant curve, and are used by it for making prey of small fish." The very
+ancient error was to mistake the foot of the shell-fish for the neck of a
+goose, the shell for its head, and the _tentacula_ for a tuft of feathers.
+As to the body, _non est inventus_. The Barnacle Goose is a well-known
+bird: and these shell-fish, bearing, as seen out of the water, resemblance
+to the goose's neck, were ignorantly, and without investigation, confounded
+with geese themselves, an error into which Albertus Magnus (d. 1280) did
+not fall, and in which Pope Pius II. proved himself infallible.
+Nevertheless, in France, the Barnacle Goose may be eaten on fast-days by
+virtue of this old belief in its marine origin.

+(Vol. iv., p. 507. Vol. v., p. 155., &c.)
+
+In the churchyard of Areley-Kings, Worcestershire (where is the singular
+memorial to Sir Harry Coningsby, which I mentioned at Vol. vi., {225} p.
+406.), is a curious dial, the pillar supporting which has its four sides
+carved with figures of Time and Death, &c., and the following inscriptions.
+
+On the south side, where is the figure of Time:
+
+          Consider
+
+ "Aspice--ut aspicias."
+
+ "Time's glass and scythe
+  Thy life and death declare,
+  Spend well thy time, and
+  For thy end prepare."
+
+     "O man, now or never
+  While there is time, turn unto the Lord,
+      And put not off from day to day."
+
+On the north side, where is the figure of Death standing upon a dead body,
+with his dart, hour-glass, and spade:
+
+ "Three things there be in very deede,
+  Which make my heart in grief to bleede:
+  The first doth vex my very heart,
+  In that from hence I must departe;
+  The second grieves me now and then,
+  That I must die, but know not when;
+  The third with tears bedews my face,
+  That I must die, nor know the place.
+
+          I. W.
+      _fecit_, Anno D[=m]i.
+          1687."
+
+ "Behold my killing dart and delving spade;
+  Prepare for death before thy grave be made;
+                  for
+          After death there's no hope."
+
+ "If a man die he shall live again.
+  All the days of my appointed time
+  Will I wait till my days come."--_Job_ xiv. 14.
+
+ "The death of saints is precious,
+  And miserable is the death of sinners."
+
+The east side of the pillar has the following:
+
+ "Si vis ingredi in vitam,
+  Serve mandata."
+
+ "Judgments are prepared for sinners."--_Prov_. xiv. 9.
+
+And on the west:
+
+     "Sol non occidat
+  Super iracundiam vestram."
+
+ "Whatsoever ye would that men
+      Should do unto you,
+  Do ye even so unto them."
+
+I subjoin a few other dial inscriptions, copied from churches in
+Worcestershire.
+
+Kidderminster (parish church):
+
+    "None but a villain will deface me."
+
+Himbleton (over the porch):

+
+(Vol. vii., pp. 377. 433. 460. 530.)
+
+The following humble petition will give an idea of the arbitrary power
+exercised by the "Saltpeter maker" in the days of Good Queen Bess; and of
+the useful monopoly that functionary contrived to make of his employment,
+in defiance of county government:
+
+    "Righte honorable, our humble dewties to yo^r good Lordshippe premised,

+TSAR.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 150.)
+
+The difficulty in investigating the origin of this word is that the letter
+_c_, "the most wonderful of all letters," says Eichhoff (_Vergleichung der
+Sprachen_, p. 55.), sounds like _k_ before the vowels _a_, _o_, _u_, but
+before _e_, _i_, in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch, as _s_, in
+Italian as _tsh_, in German as _ts_. It is always _ts_ in Polish and
+Bohemian. In Russian it is represented by a special letter [Cyrillic: ts],
+_tsi_; but in Celtic it is always _k_. Conformably with this principle, the
+Russians, like the Germans, Poles, and Bohemians, pronounce the Latin _c_
+as _ts_. So Cicero in these languages is pronounced _Tsitsero_, very
+differently from the Greeks, who called him _Kikero_. The letter _tsi_ is a
+supplementary one in Russian, having no corresponding letter in the Greek
+alphabet, from which the Russian was formed in the ninth century by St.
+Cyril. The word to be sought then amongst cognate languages as the
+counterpart of _tsar_ (or as the Germans write it _czar_) is _car_, as
+pronounced in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch. The most
+probable etymological connection that I can discover is with the Sanscrit
+[Sanskrit: car] _car_, to move, to advance; the root of the Greek [Greek:
+karrhon], in English _car_, Latin _curro_, French _cours_. So Sanscrit
+_caras_, _carat_, movable, nimble; Greek [Greek: chraon], Latin _currens_.
+And Sanscrit _caras_, motion, Greek [Greek: choros], Latin _currus_,
+_cursus_, French _char_, English _car_, _cart_, &c. The early Russians were
+doubtless wanderers, an off-shoot of the people known to the Greeks as
+Scythians, and to the Hebrews and Arabians as Gog and Magog, who travelled
+in _cars_, occupying first one territory with their flocks, but not
+cultivating the land, then leaving it to nature and taking up another
+resting-place. It is certain that the Russians have many Asiatic words in
+their vocabulary, which must necessarily have occurred from their being for
+more than two centuries sometimes under Tatar, and sometimes under Mongol
+domination; and the origin of this word _tsar_ or _car_ may leave to be
+sought on the plateaus of North-east Asia. In the Shemitic tongues (Arabic,
+Hebrew, Persian, &c.) no connexion of sound or meaning, so probable as the
+above Indo-European one, is to be found. The popular derivations of
+Nabupolassar, Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, &c., are not to be trusted. It is
+remarkable, however, that these names are significant in Russian. (See "N.
+& Q.," Vol. vii., pp. 432, 433, _note_.) The cuneatic inscriptions may yet
+throw light on these Assyrian names. In Russian the kingdom is _Tsarstvo_,
+the king _Tsar_, his queen _Tsarina_, his son is _Tsarevitch_, and his
+daughter _Tsarevna_. The word is probably pure Russian or Slavic. The
+Russian tsar used about two hundred years ago to be styled duke by foreign
+courts, but he has advanced in the nomenclature of royalty to be an
+emperor. The Russians use the word _imperatore_ for emperor, _Kesar_ for
+Caesar, and _samodershetse_ for sovereign.

+
+In Voltaire's _History of the Russian Empire_, it is stated that the title
+of Czar may possibly be derived front the _Tzars_ or _Tchars_ of the
+kingdom of Casan. When John, or Ivan Basilides, Grand Prince of Russia, had
+completed the reduction of this kingdom, he assumed this title, and it has
+since continued to his successors. Before the reign of John Basilides, the
+sovereigns of Russia bore the name of _Velike Knez_, that is, great prince,
+great lord, great chief, which in Christian countries was afterwards
+rendered by that of great duke. The Czar Michael Federovitz, on occasion of
+the Holstein embassy, assumed the titles of Great Knez and Great Lord,
+Conservator of all the Russias, Prince of Wolodimir, Moscow, Novogorod,
+&c., Tzar of Casan, Tzar of Astracan, Tzar of Siberia. The name of _Tzar_
+was therefore the title of those Oriental princes, and therefore it is more
+probable for it to have been derived from the _Tshas_ of Persia than from
+the Roman Caesars, whose name very likely never reached the ears of the
+Siberian Tzars on the banks of the Oby. In another part of Voltaire's
+_History_, when giving an account of the celebrated battle of Narva, where
+Charles XII., with nine thousand men and ten pieces of cannon, defeated
+"the Russian army with eighty thousand fighting men, supported by one
+hundred and forty-five pieces of cannon," he says, "Among the captives was
+the son of a King of Georgia, whom Charles sent to Stockholm; his name was
+_Mittelesky Czarowitz_, or Czar's Son, which is farther proof that the
+title of Czar or Tzar was not originally derived from the Roman Caesars." To
+the above slightly abbreviated description may not be uninterestingly added
+the language of Voltaire, which immediately follows the first reference:
+
+    "No title, how great soever, is of any signification, unless they who
+    bear it are great and powerful of themselves. The word _emperor_, which
+    denoted only the _general of an army_, became the title of the {227}
+    sovereigns of Rome and it is now conferred on the supreme governor of
+    all the Russias."
+
+A HERMIT AT HAMPSTEAD.
+
+I beg to inform J. S. A. that the right word is _Tsar_, and that it is the
+Russian word answering to our king or lord, the Latin _Rex_, the Persian
+_Shah_, &c. There may be terms in other languages that have an affinity
+with it, but I believe we should seek in vain for a derivation.

+"LAND OF GREEN GINGER."
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 160.)
+
+I wish that R. W. ELLIOT of Clifton, whom I recognise as a former
+inhabitant of Hull, had given the authority on which he states, that "It is
+so called from the sale of ginger having been chiefly carried on there in
+early times." The name of this street has much puzzled the local
+antiquaries; and having been for several years engaged on a work relative
+to the derivations, &c., of the names of the streets of Hull, I have spared
+no pains to ascertain the history and derivation of the singular name of
+this street.
+
+I offer then a conjecture as to its derivation as follows:--The ground on
+which this street stands was originally the property of De la Pole, Duke of
+Suffolk, on which he had built his stately manor-house. On the attainder of
+the family it was seized by the king; and Henry VIII. several times held
+his court here, on one of his visits having presented his sword to the
+corporation. It was then, 1538, called Old Beverley Street, as seen in the
+survey made of the estates of Sir William Sydney, Kt. In a romance called
+_Piraute el Blanco_, it is stated "The morning collation at the English
+Court was _green ginger_ with good Malmsey, which was their custom, because
+of the coldness of the land." And in the _Foedera_, vii. 233., it is stated
+that, among other things, the cargo of a Genoese ship, which was driven
+ashore at Dunster, in Somersetshire, in 1380, consisted of green ginger
+(ginger cured with lemon-juice). In Hollar's Map of Hull, 1640, the street
+is there laid out as built upon, but without any name attached to it. No
+other plans of Hull are at present known to exist from the time of Hollar,
+1640, to Gent, 1735. In Gent's plan of Hull, it is there called "The Land
+of Green Ginger;" so that probably, between the years 1640 and 1735, it
+received its peculiar name.
+
+I therefore conjecture that, as Henry VIII. kept his Court here with his
+usual regal magnificence, green ginger would be one of the luxuries of his
+table; that this portion of his royal property being laid out as a garden,
+was peculiarly suitable for the growth of ginger--the same as Pontefract
+was for the growth of the liquorice plant; and that, upon the property
+being built upon, the remembrance of this spot being so suitable for the
+growth of ginger for the Court, would eventually give the peculiar name, in
+the same way that the adjoining street of Bowl-Alley-Lane received its
+title from the bowling-green near to it.
+
+JOHN RICHARDSON.
+
+  13. Savile Street, Hull.
+
+This has long been a puzzle to the Hull antiquaries. I have often inquired
+of old persons likely to know the origin of such names of places at that
+sea-port as "The Land of Green Ginger," "Pig Alley," "Mucky-south-end," and
+"Rotten Herring Staith;" and I have come to the conclusion, that "The Land
+of Green Ginger" was a very dirty place where horses were kept: a mews, in
+short, which none of the Muses, not even with Homer as an exponent, could
+exalt ([Greek: Epea pteroenta en athanatoisi theoisi]) into the regions of
+poesy.
+
+Ginger has been cultivated in this country as a _stove_ exotic for about
+two hundred and fifty years. In one of the histories of Hull, ginger is
+supposed to have grown in this street, where, to a recent period, the
+stables of the George Inn, and those of a person named Foster opposite,
+occupied the principal portion of the short lane called "Land of Green
+Ginger." It is hardly possible that the true zingiber can have grown here,
+even in the manure heaps; but a plant of the same order (_Zingiberaceae_)
+may have been mistaken for it. Some of the old women or marine school-boys
+of the Trinity House, in the adjoining lane named from that guild, or some
+druggist, may have dropped, either accidentally or experimentally, a root,
+if not of the ginger, yet of some kindred plant. The magnificent _Fuchsia_
+was first noticed in the possession of a seaman's wife by Fuchs in 1501, a
+century prior to the introduction of the ginger plant into England.

+
+PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.
+
+_Stereoscopic Angles_.--The discussion in "N. & Q." relative to the best
+angle for stereoscopic pictures has gone far towards a satisfactory
+conclusion: there are, however, still a few points which may be
+beneficially considered.
+
+In the first place, the kind of stereoscope to be used must tend to modify
+the mental impression; and secondly, the _amount_ of reduction from the
+size of the original has a considerable influence on the final result.
+
+If in viewing a stereoscopic pair of photographs, they are placed _at the
+same distance_ from the eyes as the _length of the focus of the lens used
+in producing them_, then without doubt the distance between the eyes, viz.
+about two and a quarter {228} inches, is the best difference between the
+two points of view to produce a perfectly natural result; and if the points
+of operation be more distant from one another, as I have before intimated,
+an effect is produced similar to what would be the case if the pictures
+were taken from a _model_ of the object instead of the object itself.
+
+When it is intended that the pictures taken are to be viewed by an
+instrument that requires their distance from the eyes to be _less_ than the
+focal length of the lens used in their formation, what is the result? Why,
+that they subtend an angle larger than in nature, and are consequently
+apparently _increased_ in bulk; and the obvious remedy is to _increase_ the
+angle between the points of generation in the exact ratio as that by which
+the visual distance is to be lessened. There is one other consideration to
+which I would advert, viz. that as we judge of _distance_, &c. mainly by
+the degree of _convergence_ of the optic axes of our two eyes, it cannot be
+so good to arrange the camera with its two positions quite parallel,
+especially for objects at a short or medium distance, as to let its centre
+radiate from the principal object to be delineated; and to accomplish this
+desideratum in the readiest way (for portraits especially), the ingenious
+contrivance of Mr. Latimer Clark, described in the _Journal_ of the
+Photographic Society, appears to me the best adapted. It consists of a
+modification of the old parallel ruler arrangement on which the camera is
+placed; but one of the sides has an adjustment, so that within certain
+limits any degree of convergence is attainable. Now in the case of the
+pictures alluded to by MR. H. WILKINSON in Vol. viii., p. 181., it is
+probable they were taken by a camera placed in two positions parallel to
+one another, and it is quite clear that only a _portion_ of the two
+pictures could have been really stereoscopic. It is perfectly true that two
+indifferent negatives will often combine and form one good stereoscopic
+positive, but this is in consequence of one possessing that in which the
+other is deficient; and at any rate two _good_ pictures will have a
+_better_ effect; consequently, it is better that the two views should
+contain exactly the same _range_ of vision.

+
+_Protonitrate of Iron_.--"Being in the habit of using protonitrate of iron
+for developing collodion pictures, the following method of preparing that
+solution suggested itself to me, which appears to possess great
+advantages:--
+
+  Water                       1 oz.
+  Protosulphate of iron      14 grs.
+  Nitrate of potash          10 grs.
+  Acetic acid                 1/2 drm.
+  Nitric acid                 2 drops.
+
+In this mixture nitrate of potash is employed to convert the sulphate of
+iron into nitrate in place of nitrate of baryta in Dr. Diamond's formula,
+or nitrate of lead as recommended by Mr. Sisson; the advantage being that
+no filtering is required, as the sulphate of potash (produced by the double
+decomposition) is soluble in water, and does not interfere with the
+developing qualities of the solution.
+
+"The above gives the bright deposit of silver so much admired in Dr.
+Diamond's pictures, and will be found to answer equally well either for
+positives or negatives. If the nitric acid be omitted, we obtain the
+effects of protonitrate of iron prepared in the usual way.--JOHN SPILLER."

+obvious, that if such a process can be successfully practised, there are
+many objects--such as _prints_, _coins_, _seals_, _objects of natural

+
+In Norfolk this is called "aftermath eddish," and "rowans" or "rawins."
+
+The first term is evidently from the A.-S. _maeth_, mowing or math:
+Bosworth's _Dictionary_. Eddish is likewise from the A.-S. _edisc_,
+signifying the second growth; it is used by Tusser, _October's Husbandry_,
+stanza 4.:
+
+ "Where wheat upon _eddish_ ye mind to bestow,
+  Let that be the first of the wheat ye do sow."
+
+_Rawings_ also occurs in Tusser, and in the _Promptorium Parvulorum_,
+_rawynhey_ is mentioned. In Bailey's _Dictionary_ it is spelt _rowen_ and
+_roughings_: this last form gives the etymology, for _rowe_, as may be seen
+in Halliwell, is an old form for _rough_.
+

+
+I have always heard it called in Northumberland, _fog_; in Norfolk,

+_The Letter "h" in "humble"_ (Vol. viii., p. 54).--The question has been
+raised by one of your correspondents (and I have not observed any reply
+thereto), as to whether it is a peculiarity of Londoners to pronounce the
+_h_ in _humble_. If, as a Londoner by birth and residence, I might be
+allowed to answer the Query, I should say that {230} the _h_ is never heard
+in _humble_, except when the word is pronounced from the pulpit. I believe
+it to be one of those, either Oxford or Cambridge, or both, peculiarities,
+of which no reasonable explanation can be given.
+
+I should be glad to hear whether any satisfactory general rule has been
+laid down as to when the _h_ should be sounded, and when not. The only rule
+which occurs to me is to pronounce it in all words coming to us from the
+Celtic "stock," and to pass it unsounded in those which are of Latin
+origin. If this rule be admitted, the pronunciation sanctioned by the
+pulpit and Mr. Dickens is condemned.

+was--but no matter. We have hundreds of portraits by the best hands which
+confirm my description, which moreover was the result of personal

+
+    "Another preacher, after reproaching him to his face with his
+    misgovernment, ordered this Psalm to be sung,--
+
+     'Why dost thou, tyrant, boast thyself,
+        Thy wicked deeds to praise?'
+
+    The king stood up, and called for that Psalm which begins with these
+    words,--
+
+     'Have mercy, Lord, on me, I pray;
+        For men would me devour.'
+
+    The good-natured audience, in pity to fallen majesty, showed for once
+    greater deference to the king than to the minister, and sung the psalm
+    which the former had called for."--_Hume's History of England_, ch. 58.

+that Mary Queen of Scots bore the arms of France dimidiated with those of

+Dowager of France, from the death of her first husband, the King of France,

+Kilkenny, author of _The Plants_, a poem, 8vo.: published in 1808 and 1811;

+
+Since the death of Mr. Surtees, however, it has been ascertained that this

+very necessary precaution, it must be allowed, with people who are so well
+known for their pilfering propensities, not only practised on each other,

+few days before, without being conscious at the time of the similarity of
+the expression. I was asking an old man, who had been absent from home,
+where he had been to? His reply was, "To Old Weston, Sir. You know I must
+go there before I die." Knowing that he had relatives living there, I did
+not, at the time, notice anything extraordinary in the answer; but, since
+reading ARUN'S note, I have made some inquires, and find the saying is a
+common one on this (the Northamptonshire) side of Old Weston, as well as in
+Huntingdonshire. I have been unable to obtain any explanation of it, but
+think the one suggested by your correspondent must be right. One of my
+informants (an old woman upwards of seventy) told me she had often heard it
+used, and wondered what could be its meaning, when she was a child.

+heard any other interpretation put upon it in Scotland, where the ballad of
+"We'll gang nae mair a-roving," is a great favourite. King James is the
+_subject_ of the ballad. That merry monarch made many lively escapades, and
+on this occasion he personated a beggarman. The damsel, to whom he
+successfully paid his addresses, saw through the disguise at first; but
+from the king's good acting, when he pretended to be afraid that the dongs
+would "rive his meal pokes," she began to think she had been mistaken. Then
+she expressed her disgust by saying, that she had thought her lover could
+not be anything less than the Laird of Brodie, the highest untitled
+gentleman probably in the neighbourhood: implying that she suspected he

+_Sir John Vanbrugh_ (Vol. viii., pp. 65. 160.).--Previous to sending you my
+Query about the birthplace of Sir John Vanbrugh, I had carefully gone

+discovered the baptisms or burials of seven sons and six daughters of Mr.
+Giles Vanbrugh duly registered therein. Sir John's name is not included in
+the list; therefore, if he was born in Chester, his baptism must have been
+registered at one of the many other parish churches of this city. The
+registers of St. Peter's Church, a neighbouring parish, have also been
+{233} examined, but contain no notice of the baptism of the future knight.
+I will, however, continue the chace; and should I eventually fall in with
+the object of my search, will give my fellow-labourers the benefit of my
+explorations. Mr. Vanbrugh sen. died at Chester, and was buried with
+several of his children at Trinity Church, July 19, 1689.

+_Portrait of Charles I._--The portrait of Charles I. by Vandyke (the
+subject of MR. BREEN'S Query, "N. & Q.," Vol. viii., p. 151.) is no less
+than the celebrated picture in which the monarch is represented standing,
+with his right hand resting on a walking cane, and his left (the arm being
+beautifully foreshortened) against his hip; and immediately behind him his
+horse is held by an equerry, supposed to be the Marquis of Hamilton. The
+picture hangs in the great square room at the Louvre, close on the left
+hand of the usual entrance door, and is undoubtedly one of the finest in
+that magnificent collection. As a portrait, it is without a rival. It is
+well known in this country by the admirable engraving from it, executed in
+1782, by Sir Robert Strange.
+
+The description of this picture in the Catalogue for 1852 _du Musee
+Nationale du Louvre_, is as follows:--
+
+    "Grave par Strange; par Bonnefoy; par Duparc;--Filhol, t. 1. pl. 5.
+
+    "Collection de Louis XV.--Ce tableau, qui a ete execute vers 1635, ne

+    partie, suivant Descamps, du cabinet du marquis de Lassay. On trouve
+    cette note dans les memoires secrets de Bachaument," &c.

+
+_Strut-Stowers and Yeathers or Yadders_ (Vol. viii., p. 148.).--The former
+of these words is, I believe, obsolete, or nearly so. It means
+bracing-stakes: _strut_, in carpentry, is to _brace_; and _stower_ is a
+small kind of stake, as distinguished from the "ten stakes" mentioned in
+the legend quoted by MR. COOPER.
+
+The other word, _Yeather_ or _Yadder_, is yet in use in Northumberland
+(vid. Brockett's _Glossary_), and is mentioned by Charlton in his _History
+of Whitby_. The legend referred to by MR. COOPER is, I suspect, of modern
+origin but Dr. Young, in his _History of Whitby_, vol. i. p. 310.,
+attributes it to some of the monks of the abbey; on what grounds he does
+not say. The records of the abbey contain no allusion to the legend; and no
+ancient MS. of it, either in Latin or English, has ever been produced. The
+_penny-hedge_ is yearly renewed to this day but it is a service performed
+for a different reason than that attributed in the legend. (See Young and
+Charlton's histories.)
+
+F. M.
+
+The term _strut_ is commonly used by carpenters for a brace or stay.
+_Stower_, in Bailey's _Dictionary_, is a stake; Halliwell spells it
+_stoure_, and says it is still in use. Forby connects the Norfolk word
+_stour_, stiff, inflexible, applied to standing corn, with this word, which
+he says is Lowland Scotch, and derives them both from Sui.-G. _stoer_,
+stipes. A _yeather_ or _yadder_ seems to be a rod to wattle the stakes
+with. In Norfolk, wattling a live fence is called _ethering_ it, which
+word, evidently with _yeather_, may be derived from A.-S. _ether_ or
+_edor_, a hedge. The barons, therefore, had to drive their stakes
+perpendicularly into the sand, to put the strut-stowers diagonally to
+enable them to withstand the force of the tide, and finally to wattle them
+together with the yeathers.

+
+_Arms of See of York_ (Vol. viii., p. 111.).--It appears that the arms of
+the See of York were certainly changed during Wolsey's time, for on the
+vaulting of Christ Church Gate, Canterbury, is a shield bearing (in
+sculpture) the same arms as those now used by the Metropolitan See of
+Canterbury, impaling those of Wolsey, and over the shield a cardinal's hat.
+This gateway was built in 1517; yet in the parliament roll of 6th Henry
+VIII., 1515, the _keys_ and _crown_ are impaled with the arms of Wolsey as
+Archbishop of York (see fac-simile, published by Willement, 4to. Lond.
+1829), showing that the alteration was not generally known when the gateway
+was built.
+
+Although the charges on the earlier arms of the See of York were the same
+as on that of Canterbury, the colours of their fields differed; for in a
+north window of the choir of York Minster is a shield of arms, bearing the
+arms of Archbishop Bowett, who held the see from 1407 to 1423, impaled by
+the pall and pastoral staff, on a field _gules_. The glass is to all
+appearance of the fifteenth century.

+from his native land. Sir John died, March 26, 1632, without issue; and was
+buried in the chancel of St. Michael, Crooked Lane, London. His elder
+brother, William, had five sons; all settled comfortably in England, and
+not at all likely to have left their native country. One of the _Heralds'

+position. I have visited some hundreds of churches, and this is the only

+
+Our worthy publisher has just issued a volume which will be welcome, for
+the excellence of its matter and the beauty of its various illustrations,
+to all archaeologists. These _Memoirs illustrative of the History and
+Antiquities of Bristol and the Western Counties of Great Britain, and other
+Communications made to the Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute
+held at Bristol in 1851_, certainly equal in interest and variety any of
+their predecessors, and whether as a memorial of their visit to Bristol to
+those who attended the meeting, or as a pleasant substitute to those who
+did not, will doubtless find a resting-place on the shelf of every member
+of the Society whose proceedings they record.

+We cannot better recommend to our readers Dr. Madden's newly published
+_Life and Martyrdom of Savonarola, illustrative of the History of Church
+and State Connexion_, than by stating that this remarkable man, whom some
+Protestants have claimed as of their own creed, while as many Romanists
+have rejected him as a heretic, is viewed by Dr. Madden as a monk of
+Florence at the close of the fifteenth century, who was of opinion that the
+mortal enemy of Christ's gospel in all ages of the world had been mammon;
+that simony was the sin against the Holy Ghost; that the interests of
+religion were naturally allied with those of liberty; that the Arts were
+the handmaids of both, of a Divine origin, and were given to earth for
+purposes that tended to spiritualise humanity; and who directed all his
+teachings, preachings, and writings to one great object, namely, _the
+separation of religion from all worldly influences_. On this theme Dr.
+Madden discourses with great learning, and, some few passages excepted,
+with great moderation; and the result is a Life of Savonarola, which gives
+a far more complete view of his character and his writings than has
+heretofore been attempted.

+
+    "This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent,
+    nourishing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many cases,
+    all kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful in confined habit of
+    body, as also diarrhoea, bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys
+    and bladder, such as stone or gravel; inflammatory irritation and cramp
+    of the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and
+    hemorrhoids. This really invaluable remedy is employed with the most
+    satisfactory result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary complaints,
+    where irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pulmonary and
+    bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually the
+    troublesome cough; and I am enabled with perfect truth to express the
+    conviction that Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to the cure of
+    incipient hectic complaints and consumption.

+SOME ACCOUNT of DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE in ENGLAND, from the Conquest to the
+end of the Thirteenth Century, with numerous Illustrations of Existing
+Remains from Original Drawings. By T. HUDSON TURNER.
+
+    "What Horace Walpole attempted, and what Sir Charles Lock Eastlake has
+    done for oil-painting--elucidated its history and traced its progress
+    in England by means of the records of expenses and mandates of the
+    successive Sovereigns of the realm--Mr. Hudson Turner has now achieved
+    for Domestic Architecture in this century during the twelfth and
+    thirteenth centuries."--_Architect._
+
+    "The writer of the present volume ranks among the most intelligent of
+    the craft, and a careful perusal of its contents will convince the
+    reader of the enormous amount of labour bestowed on its minutest
+    details as well as the discriminating judgement presiding over the
+    general arrangement."--_Morning Chronicle._
+
+    "The book of which the title is given above is one of the very few
+    attempts that have been made in this country to treat this interesting
+    subject in anything more than a superficial manner.
+
+    "Mr. Turner exhibits much learning and research, and he has
+    consequently laid before the reader much interesting information. It is
+    a book that was wanted, and that affords us some relief from the mass
+    of works on Ecclesiastical Architecture with which of late years we
+    have been deluged.
+
+    "The work is well illustrated throughout with wood-engravings of the
+    more interesting remains, and will prove a valuable addition to the
+    antiquary's library."--_Literary Gazette._
+
+    "It is as a text-book on the social comforts and condition of the
+    Squires and Gentry of England during the twelfth and thirteenth
+    centuries, that the leading value of Mr. Turner's present publication
+    will be found to consist.
+
+    "Turner's handsomely-printed volume is profusely illustrated with
+    careful woodcuts of all important existing remains, made from drawings
+    by Mr. Blore and Mr. Twopeny."--_Athenaeum._

+THE DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE MIDDLE AGES. Vol. II.--THE FOURTEENTH
+CENTURY. By the Editor of "The Glossary of Architecture."
+
+This volume is issued on the plan adopted by the late Mr. Hudson Turner in
+the previous volume: viz., collecting matter relating to Domestic buildings
+of the period, from cotemporary records, and applying the information so
+acquired to the existing remains.
+
+Not only does the volume contain much curious information both as to the
+buildings and manners and customs of the time, but it is also hoped that
+the large collection of careful Engravings of the finest examples will
+prove as serviceable to the profession and their employers in building
+mansions, as the Glossary was found to be in building churches.
+
+The Text is interspersed throughout with numerous woodcuts.

+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to

+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+http://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
