+
+TWO CHANCELLORS.
+
+Although neither your readers nor I are politicians enough to interfere in
+the changes proposed with reference to the office of Lord Chancellor, I
+doubt not that some of them, now the subject is on the _tapis_, may feel
+interested in a fact connected with it, which our ancient records disclose:
+namely, that on one occasion there were _two chancellors_ acting at the
+same time for several months together, and both regularly appointed by the
+king.
+
+It is an unique instance, occurring in the reign of Edward IV.: the two
+chancellors being Thomas Rotheram, Bishop of Lincoln, and John Alcock,
+Bishop of Rochester. The former received the Great Seal in May, 1474, in
+the fourteenth year of the reign, and without any doubt continued
+chancellor till the king's death; and yet, from April to September in the
+following year, the latter was also addressed by the same title. During
+that interval of five months, there are numerous writs of Privy Seal
+addressed by the king to both, in which each of them is styled "our
+chancellor."
+
+This curious circumstance may be thus accounted for. King Edward had for
+some time been contemplating an invasion of France; and when his
+preparations were completed (about April), as he required his chancellor,
+Bishop Rotheram, to attend him on the expedition, it became necessary to
+provide some competent person to transact the business of the Chancery in
+his absence. On previous occasions of this nature, it had been usual to
+place the seal that was used in England, when the king was abroad, in the
+hands of the Master of the Rolls, or some other master in Chancery, with
+the title of Keeper: but, for some unexplained reason (perhaps because
+Bishop Alcock was a man whom the king delighted to honour), this prelate
+was dignified with the superior designation, although Bishop Rotheram still
+retained it. The voyage being delayed from April to July, during the whole
+of that period, each being in England, both acted in the same character;
+Privy Seals, as I have said, being sent to both, and bills in Chancery
+being addressed also to Bishop Alcock as chancellor. Rotheram was with the
+king in France as his chancellor, and is so described on opening the
+negotiation in August, which led to the discreditable peace by which Edward
+made himself a pensioner to the French king. No Privy Seals were addressed
+to Alcock after September 28; which may therefore be considered the close
+of this double chancellorship, and the date of Bishop Rotheram's return to
+England.
+
+Who knows whether the discovery of this ancient authority may not suggest
+to our legislators the division of the title between two possessors {258}
+with distinct duties, in the same manner that two chief justices were
+substituted in the reign of Henry III. for one chief justiciary?
+
+The immediate interest of this fact has prompted me to anticipate its
+appearance in the volumes of my work, which you have been kind enough to
+announce as being in the press.

+ILLUSTRATIONS OF CHAUCER, NO. III.
+
+ "Now flieth Venus in to Ciclinius tour.
+      *    *    *    *    *    *
+ "Alas, and there hath she no socour,
+  For she ne found ne sey no maner wight.
+      *    *    *    *    *    *
+ "Wherefore her selven for to hide and save,
+  Within the gate she fledde in to a cave.
+      *    *    *    *    *    *
+ "Now God helpe sely Venus alone,
+  But as God wold it happed for to be,
+  That while the weping Venus made her mone,
+  Ciclinius riding in his chirachee,
+  _Fro Venus Valanus might this palais see;_
+  And Venus he salveth and maketh chere,
+  And her receiveth as his frende full dere."
+              _Complaint of Mars and Venus._
+
+Having in my last communication (Vol. iii., p. 235.) shown cause for the
+alteration in the foregoing quotation of Ciclinius into Cyllenius, I shall
+now endeavour to interpret the line in Italics, which in its present shape
+is utterly without meaning.
+
+Whatever word _Valanus_ may be supposed to represent, whether a proper or a
+common name, still the construction of the whole line is evidently corrupt.
+
+Taking Valanus, in the first place, as a proper name, the most probable
+original would be VALENS; for the connexion of which with Mercury we must
+refer to Cicero (_De Nat. Deor._ iii. 22.), where mention is made of it in
+these words:--
+
+    "Alter (Mercurius) _Valentis_ et Phoronidis filius, is qui sub terris
+    habetur idem Trophonius."
+
+Here the identification with Trophonius strikes us at once as affording a
+clue to THE CAVE into which Venus fled, giving great probability to Valens
+as the true solution of Chaucer's meaning.
+
+But if we receive it as such, the following hypothesis becomes necessary,
+viz., that Chaucer imagined a _double impersonation_ of Mercury--one
+absent, the other present,--one sidereal, the other mythological,--one
+Cyllenius, the other Valens.
+
+When Venus first enters Mercury's "palais," she "_ne found ne sey no maner
+wight_." This signifies the absence from home of _Cyllenius_, who was
+abroad upon "his chirachee" in attendance upon the Sun; and here again is
+an instance of the nice astronomical accuracy of Chaucer. It was impossible
+that the _planet_ Mercury could be in the sign Gemini, because his greatest
+elongation, or apparent distance from the sun, does not exceed 29 degrees;
+so that the Sun having but just entered Taurus, Mercury could not be in
+Gemini. Neither could Venus see Valens (the other impersonation of
+Mercury), because of his concealment in the cave; but when she entered the
+cave, then she was welcomed and received by him.
+
+Now, to render the text conformable with this interpretation, some
+alteration in the construction is necessary, as indeed it must be in any
+attempt to render the passage intelligible.
+
+Taking, away the word "Fro," and transposing "might" to the other side of
+"Valanus," the lines would stand thus,--
+
+         "---- it happed for to be
+  That, while the weping Venus made her mone,
+  (Cyllenius riding in his chirachee)
+  Venus might Valens in this palais see;
+  And Venus he salveth and maketh chere
+  And her receiveth as his frende full dere!"
+
+On the other supposition of "Valanus" being a common name, to which a
+capital letter has been prefixed in mistake, then the only word for which
+it would appear to be a probable substitution would be "Vallum," in the
+sense of a border or rampart; but the application would be so far-fetched
+that I shall not attempt it, especially as I look upon the explanation
+afforded by "Valens" as most probably the true one.

+FOLK LORE.
+
+_Cure of Hooping Cough._--There is a superstition in Cheshire that hooping
+cough may be cured by holding a toad for a few moments with its head within
+the mouth of the person affected. I heard only the other day of a cure by
+this somewhat disagreeable process; the toad was said to have caught the
+disease, which in this instance proved fatal to it in a few hours.
+
+A. H. H.
+
+_Charms from Devonshire._--The following charms were obtained from an old
+woman in this parish, though probably they are all known to you already:
+
+  (_a._) _For a Scald or Burn._
+
+ "There were three angels came from The East and West,
+  One brought fire and another brought frost,
+  And the third it was the Holy Ghost.
+  Out fire, in frost, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
+      Holy Ghost. Amen."
+
+  (_b._) _For a Sprain._
+
+    "As our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was riding into
+    Jerusalem, His horse tripped and sprained his leg. Our Blessed Lord and
+    Saviour blessed it, and said,
+
+ 'Bone to bone, and vein to vein,
+  O vein, turn to thy rest again!'
+
+    M. N. so shall thine, in the Name," &c.
+
+{259}
+
+  (_c._) _For stopping Blood._
+
+    "Our Blessed Saviour was born in Bethlehem and baptized in the river
+    Jordan.
+
+ 'The Waters were wild and rude.
+  The child Jesus was meek, mild, and good.'
+
+    He put His foot into the waters, and the waters stopped, and so shall
+    thy blood, in the Name," &c.
+
+  (d.) _For the Tooth-ache._
+
+    "All glory! all glory! all glory! be to the Father, and to the Son, and
+    to the Holy Ghost.
+
+    "As our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was walking in the garden of
+    Gethsamene, He saw Peter weeping. He called him unto Him, and said,
+    Peter why, weepest thou? Peter answered and said, Lord, I am grievously
+    tormented with pain, the pain of my tooth. Our Lord answered and said,
+    If thou wilt believe in Me, and My words abide with thee, thou shalt
+    never feel any more pain in thy tooth. Peter said, Lord, I believe,
+    help Thou my unbelief. In the Name, &c.
+
+    "God grant M. N. ease from the pain in his teeth."
+
+(_e._) _For Fits._--Go into a church at midnight and walk three times round
+the communion table. This was done in this parish a few years since.
+
+(_f._) An inhabitant of this parish told me that his father went into
+Lydford Church, at twelve o'clock at night, and cut off some lead from
+every diamond pane in the windows with which he made a heart, to be worn by
+his wife afflicted with "_breastills_," i.e. _sore breasts_.
+
+(_g._) The skin cast by a snake is very useful in extracting thorns, &c.
+from the body, but, unlike I other remedies, it is repellent, not
+attractive; hence it must always be applied on the opposite side to that on
+which the thorn entered. In some cases where the skin has been applied on
+the same side, it has forced the thorn completely through the hand.
+
+_Lent Lilies.--Oak Webs, &c._--In this part of Cornwall, the native yellow
+narcissus, known in most counties, and in the books, as _daffodils_ (the
+"Daffy Down Dilly" of your correspondent, Vol. iii. p. 220.), are called
+only by the name of _Lent lilies_, or simply _Lents_, and are commonly sold
+by the poor children, frequently in exchange for _pins_. The pleasing name
+reminds one of Michaelmas Daisy (_Chrysanthemum_), Christmas rose
+(_Helleborus niger_), and the beautiful pasque flower (_Anemone
+pulsatilla_).
+
+The common beetle called cockchafer is here known only as the _oak-web_,
+and a smaller beetle as _fern-web_. It seems hard to guess why they should
+be named _web_ (which in Anglo-Saxon means _weaver_), as they do not, I
+think, form any cocoon.

+
+THE THRENODIA CAROLINA OF SIR THO. HERBERT.
+
+The _Threnodia Carolina_ of sir Thomas Herbert is a jewel of historical
+composition, and I am persuaded that a new edition of it, if formed on a
+collation of the best manuscripts, and illustrated by extracts from the
+principal historians of the same period, would not only be received by the
+public with thanks, but with expressions of surprise that so rare a
+treasure should have been suffered to remain in such comparative obscurity.
+
+There are four manuscripts of the work in public libraries, two of which I
+am enabled to describe.
+
+1. The Harleian Ms. in the British Museum, No. 7396.
+
+This Ms. is in folio. The preliminary leaves have the notes marked 1, 2,
+3--the second being in the handwriting of sir William Dugdale. The
+narrative occupies thirty-six pages, with interlinear corrections and
+additions. This Ms. does not contain the words _This brief narrative_, &c.
+nor the letter dated the 3d Nov. 1681.
+
+    "THRENODIA CAROLINA."
+
+    (1) "This book contains S^r Tho. Herberts memoirs being the original in
+    his own hand sent to S^r W^m Dugdale in 1678."
+
+    (2) "A true and perfect narrative of the most remarkable passages
+    relating to king Charles the first of blessed memory, written by the
+    proper land of S^r Thomas Herbert baronet, who attended upon his
+    ma^{tie} from Newcastle upon Tine, when he was sold by the Scotts,
+    during the whole time of his greatest afflictions, till his death and
+    buriall; w^{ch} was sent to me S^r Will^m Dugdale knight, garter
+    principall king of armes, in Michaellmasse Terme a^o. 1678, by the said
+    S^r Thomas Herbert, from Yorke, where he resideth."
+
+    "VERITAS ODIUM PARIT."
+
+    (3) "Court passages in the two last yeares of the raigne of king
+    Charles the first, during y^e time of his affliction."
+
+    2. The Harleian Ms. in the British Museum, No. 4705.
+
+    This Ms. is in small folio. It was formerly in the possession of Peter
+    le Neve, norroy. A preliminary leaf has the subjoined attestation by
+    sir William Dugdale. The narrative is much more ample and
+    circumstantial than in the former Ms., but it is not all in the
+    handwriting of sir Thomas Herbert. The letter dated 3 November 1681,
+    and the relations of Huntington, Cooke, and Firebrace, are added in the
+    handwriting of Dugdale; also, the names of persons who corresponded
+    with Charles I. while he was a prisoner in the Isle of Wight. The
+    passages transcribed by the REV. ALFRED GATTY appear in this Ms.--also
+    in the edition of 1702. The edition of 1813 is a _verbatim_ reprint of
+    the first and second articles of that of 1702. It was edited by Mr.
+    George Nicol.
+
+    "CAROLINA THRENODIA."
+
+    "This booke containeth a large answer to a short letter sent by S^r
+    Will^m Dugdale kn^t (garter; principall king of armes) unto S^r Thomas
+    Herbert baronet, {260} residing in the citty of Yorke. By w^{ch} letter
+    he did desire the sayd S^r Thomas Herbert to informe him of such
+    materiall passages, as he had observed touching the late king Charles
+    the first (of blessed memory) during the time that he the sayd S^r
+    Thomas did attend him in person; B^t for the two last yeares of his
+    afflicted life."
+
+The other Mss. alluded to are preserved in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford.
+The most important is No. 1141., which is minutely described in the
+admirable catalogue compiled by Mr. Black. A transcript of the _Threnodia
+Carolina_ by Ant. à Wood, also in the Ashmolean Museum, is recorded by
+Huddesford.
+
+As there were two _recensions_ of the narrative, I have added a specimen of
+each of the Harleian Mss., which may serve as a clue to the nature of other
+copies, whether in public libraries, or in private hands.
+
+    "The Lords ordered a girdle or circumscription of Capitall Letters to
+    be cutt in Lead and putt about the Coffin. being onely these wordes
+
+    KING CHARLES
+    1648.
+
+    The kings body was then brought from the chamber to Saint Georges hall.
+    whence after a Little pause, it was w^{th} a slow pase & much sorrow
+    carrye'd by those gentlemen that were in mourninge: the Lords in blacks
+    following the royall Corpes & many gentlemen after them, and their
+    attendants."--THRENODIA CAROLINA, p. 36. Harleian MS. 7396.
+
+    "The girdle or circumscription of Capitall Letters in Lead putt about
+    the Coffin had onely these words.
+
+    KING-CHARLES.
+    1648.
+
+    The Kings body was then brought from his Bed-chamber, downe into S^t
+    Georges-hall; whence after a little stay, itt was with a slow and
+    solemn pace (much sorrow in most faces discernable) carryed by
+    gentlemen that were of some quallity and in mourning. the Lords in like
+    habitts followed the Royall Corps. the Governor, and severall
+    gentlemen, and officers, and attendants came after."--CAROLINA
+    THRENODIA, p. 80. Harleian MS. 4705.

+BOLTON CORNEY.
+
+_Sir Thomas Herbert's Memoirs of Charles I._--The question suggested by MR.
+GATTY'S first note upon this subject was one of some importance, viz.,
+whether the original MS. in the possession of his friend contained anything
+of Sir Thomas Herbert's not hitherto published? There is no doubt that the
+"Memoir of the two last years of King Charles I." was written by Sir Thomas
+Herbert, after his retirement to his native city of York, at the request of
+the author of the _Athenæ Oxonienses_, who made use of nearly the whole of
+it in compiling that great work, adapting different portions to his
+biographical notices of the persons to whom they principally related. The
+notices of Colonel Joyce and Colonel Cobbet are chiefly composed of
+extracts from Herbert's Memoir; whilst under the name of Herbert himself
+not more than about one-third of his own communication will be found.
+
+The first edition of the _Athenæ_ was not published until 1691, several
+years after Sir Thomas Herbert's death; and the memoir in a complete form,
+with the title of _Threnodia Carolina_, did not appear until the year 1702,
+when it was published by Dr. Charles Goodall, physician to the Charter
+House, together with other tracts relating to Charles I. This is doubtless
+the volume described by MR. BOLTON CORNEY (vol. iii., p. 157.), who will, I
+hope, favour your readers with the information requested by MR. GATTY (p.
+222.).
+
+The Memoir, as published in 1813 by G. and W. Nicol, Booksellers, Pall
+Mall, professes to be a faithful reprint of the former edition of 1702. The
+commencing and concluding paragraphs in this reprint are precisely the same
+as those transcribed by MR. GATTY'S friend from the MS. in his possession.
+His idea, that an incorrect copy of his MS. was improperly obtained, and
+published in 1813, seems to be without foundation.

+Minor Notes.
+
+_Shakspeare's Venus and Adonis._--The following extract from an
+advertisement in the _St. James's Chronicle_, April 15, 1779, is worth a
+note as illustrative of the altered value of the book referred to:--
+
+    "If any person is possessed of an impression of Shakspeare's _Venus and
+    Adonis_, 4to. Printed by Richard Field for John Harrison, 1593, and
+    will bring it to Mr. Thomas Longman, bookseller, in Paternoster Row, he
+    will receive one guinea for it."
+
+Malone gave 25l. for the copy in his collection in the Bodleian.
+
+J. F. M.
+
+_Moorfields in Charles II.'s Time._--I copy this from _The New Help to
+Discourse_, published about 1670:
+
+    "Two gentlemen of Stepney going homewards over Moor-fields, about
+    twelve of the clock at night, were staid by an impertinent constable
+    with many frivolous questions, more by half to show his office than his
+    wit; one whereof was, If they were not afraid to go home at that time
+    of the night? They answered, 'No.' 'Well,' said he, 'I shall let you
+    pass at this time; but if you should be knockt on the lead before you
+    get home, you cannot but report that there was a good watch kept in
+    Moor-fields."
+
+BLOWEN.
+
+_Yankee, Derivation of._--The word _Yankee_ is nothing more than the word
+_English_ so transformed by the imperfect pronunciation of the natives of
+Massachusets--_Yenghis_, _Yanghis_, _Yankies_. The orthography of this
+much-used epithet, which is not given, we believe, in any English or
+American work, was communicated to M. Philarète {261} Charles by one of the
+best-informed men of that province.
+
+    "Le mot Yankee, appliqué aujourd'hui comme sobriquet aux populations
+    agricoles et commerçantes du nord, n'est autre que le mot _English_
+    transformé par la prononciation défectueuse des indigènes du
+    Massachusets: _Yenghis_, _Yanghis_, _Yankies_. Nous tenons de l'un des
+    hommes les plus instruit de la province cette curieuse étymologie, que
+    ne donne aucun ouvrage americain ou anglais. Les Anglais, quand ils se
+    moquent des _Yankies_, se moquent d'eux-mèmes."--Philarète Charles,

+_A Word to Literary Men_ (Vol. iii., p. 161.).--Perhaps MR. KENNETH R. H.
+MACKENZIE will allow me to add the following as a _rider_ to his
+suggestion:--
+
+    "Even after all the labours of the Prussian scholars," says Dr. Arnold,
+    "much remains to be done towards obtaining a complete knowledge of the
+    number, and still more of the value, of the Greek MSS. now existing in
+    Europe. It is not easy to know how many MSS. of any given writer are
+    extant, where they are to be found, and, above all, whether from their
+    age and character they are worth the trouble of an exact collation. A
+    labour of this kind cannot be accomplished by individuals; but the
+    present spirit of liberal co-operation, which seems to influence
+    literary as well as scientific men throughout Europe, renders its
+    accomplishment by the combined exertions of the scholars of different
+    countries by no meals impracticable. It would be exceedingly convenient
+    to possess an alphabetical list of all the extant Greek and Latin
+    writers, with a _catalogue raisonnée_ of the MSS. of each; and if such
+    a work were attempted, there is little doubt, I imagine, that in point
+    of number a very large addition would be made to the stock of MSS.
+    already known. What the result might be in point of value is another
+    question; still it is desirable to know what we have to trust to; and
+    when we have obtained a right estimate of our existing resources in
+    manuscripts, we shall then be better able to judge what modern
+    criticism will have to do from its own means towards bringing the text
+    of the ancient writers to the greatest possible state of
+    perfection."--Preface to _Thucydides_, vol. iii. page iv. 2d edit.

+POEMS OF JOHN SEGUARD OF NORWICH.
+
+In the _Letters on the British Museum_, 1767 (referred to Vol. iii., p.
+208.), at p. 33. is given a short Latin poem, which the writer states he
+"found among the manuscripts;" and adds, "It was written by John Seward in
+the time of Henry V., who conquered Charles VI. of France." The poem is as
+follows:
+
+ "Ite per extremam Tanaim, pigrosque Triones,
+  Ite per arentem Lybiam, superate calores
+  Solis, et arcanos Nili deprendite fontes,
+  Herculeumque sinum, Bacchi transcurrite metas,
+  Angli juris erit quicquid complectitur orbis.
+  Anglis rubra dabunt pretiosas æquora conchas,
+  Indus ebur, ramos Panchaia, vellera Seres,
+  Dum viget Henricus, dum noster vivit Achilles;
+  Est etenim laudes longe transgressus avitas."
+
+If these lines are compared with the contemporary Leonine verses in praise
+of Henry V., preserved in MS. Cott. Cleop. B. i. f. 173. beginning:
+
+ "Ad Salvatoris laudes, titulos et honores."
+
+their great superiority, in point of Latinity, will be perceived, and this
+Query forthwith arises: Who was John Seward?
+
+In reply to this, the following information has been collected. The name of
+the author was not _Seward_, but _Seguard_. He is not mentioned by Leland,
+but Bale calls him "insignis sui temporis rhetor ac poeta;" and states
+further, that in the city of Norwich, "non sine magno auditorum fructu,
+bonas artes ingenue profitebatur." He then gives a list of his writings,
+among which is a work on Prosody, entitled _Metristenchiridion_, addressed
+to Richard Courtney, Bishop of Norwich, who held the see only from Sept.
+1413 to Sept. 1415, and therefore composed during that interval. He notices
+also a tract _De miseria hominis_, together with _Carmina diversi generis_
+and _Epistolæ ad diversos_; all of which, he says, he himself saw in
+manuscripts in Merton College, Oxford, and in the Royal Library of Edward
+VI. Pits, the next authority in point of date, chiefly follows Bale in his
+account of John Seguard; but adds, "Equestris ordinis in Anglia patre
+natus," and among his writings inserts one not specified by Bale, _De
+laudibus Regis Henrici Quinti, versu_. Tanner copies the first of these
+statements, yet, singular enough, omits all notice of the poem on Henry V.,
+the very one, apparently, cited in the _Letters on the British Museum_. But
+there are further difficulties. It was natural to suppose, that the MS.
+seen by Bale in the Royal Library would be there still; and Tanner
+unhesitatingly refers to the volume marked 15 A. xxii. art. 5., as the one
+which contained the poem _De miseria hominis_, noted by Bale. On looking,
+however, at this manuscript, it became apparent that both Bale and Tanner
+are in error in ascribing this poem to Seguard. The handwriting is of the
+early part of the thirteenth century, and consequently full a century and a
+half before the Norwich poet was born! At the conclusion is this note, by
+the same hand:
+
+    "Hos versus, sicut nobis quidam veridicus retulit, Segardus junior de
+    Sancto Audomaro composuit."
+
+The writer here named is not mentioned in Fabricius, nor in the _Histoire
+Littéraire de la France_. Besides the MS. in Merton College, Oxford,
+referred to by Bale, which still exists there under the signature Q. 3. 1.,
+I find another in Bernard's _Catt._ {262} _MSS. Angliæ_, 1697, vol. ii. p.
+216., among the manuscripts of Sir Henry Langley of Shropshire, "No. 22.
+Jo. Segnard [_read_ Seguard] Poemata." I would therefore close these
+remarks by requesting attention to the following Queries:--
+
+1. As Blomefield is silent on the subject, is anything more known
+respecting the biography of John Seguard?
+
+2. Can a list be obtained of the contents of the Merton manuscript?
+
+3. What became of the Langley MS., and where is it at present?
+
+4. In what manuscript of the British Museum is the poem on Henry V.
+contained?
+
+F. MADDEN.
+
+P.S. Since I wrote the above, I have found in the Sale Catalogue of the
+Towneley library, 1814, pt. i. lot 396.:
+
+    "_Seguardi Opuscula._ Manuscript on vellum. This volume contains
+    several treatises not mentioned by Bale or Pits."
+
+It was purchased by Mr. Laing for 1l. 1s. May I, therefore, add one more
+Query?
+
+5. Can the present owner of this MS. (which is probably the same as the
+Langley copy) furnish a note of its contents?

+
+EPITAPH ON THE COUNTESS OF PEMBROKE.
+
+Who was the writer of the oft-quoted lines,
+
+ "Underneath this marble (sable) hearse," &c.
+
+intended, as all know, for an epitaph on Mary Sidney, afterwards Countess
+of Pembroke, but not inscribed upon any monumental stone? They are almost
+universally attributed to Ben Jonson, and are included amongst his poems.
+But this is not conclusive evidence, as we also there find the epitaph on
+Drayton, which was written by Quarles. In Aubrey's MS. _Memoires of
+Naturall Remarques in Wilts_, these verses are said to have been "made by
+Mr. Willi[=a]. Browne, who wrote the Pastoralls, and they are inserted
+there." Mr. Britton, in his _Life of Aubrey_ (p. 96.), adds:
+
+    "It is essential to observe, that Aubrey is not alone in stating them
+    to be by Browne; for, in his note upon the subject, he left a blank for
+    the latter's Christian name, 'William,' which was filled up by Evelyn
+    when he perused the manuscript. Indeed, Evelyn added as a further note,
+    '_William_, Governor to the now Earl of Oxford.'"
+
+But these lines are not to be found in Browne's _Pastorals_. In book ii.,
+song 4., there is an epitaph, but which bears little resemblance to the one
+in question. It concludes with the following conceit:
+
+ "If to the grave there ever was assign'd
+  One like this nymph in body and in minde,
+  We wish here in balme, not vainely spent,
+  To fit this maiden with a monument,
+  For brass, and marble, were they seated here,
+  Would fret, or melt in tears, to lye so near."
+
+Addison, in _The Spectator_, No. 323., speaks of this epitaph as "written
+by an uncertain author." This was not more than seventy-five or eighty
+years after Jonson's death. In the lives of the Sidneys, and in Ballard's
+_Memoirs of Celebrated Ladies_ (1752), no author is mentioned; but the
+latter speaks of the epitaph as likely to be more lasting than marble or
+brass. To the six lines which generally stand alone, the following are
+added in the two last-mentioned works:
+
+ "Marble pyles let no man raise,
+  To her name, for after daies,
+  Some kind woman, born as she,
+  Reading this like Niobe,
+  Shall turn marble, and become,
+  Both her mourner and her tomb."
+
+These are also given by Brydges in his _Peers Of James II._, but they are
+not in Jonson's works. Did they originally form part of the epitaph, or are
+they the production of another and later author?
+
+That this epitaph should be attributed to Jonson, may possibly have arisen
+from the following lines being confounded with it. Jacob, in his _English
+Poets_, says--
+
+    "To show that Ben was famous at _epigram_, I need only transcribe the
+    epitaph he wrote on the Lady Elizabeth L. H.:
+
+     "Underneath this stone doth lie
+      As much virtue as could die,
+      Which when alive did harbour give
+      To as much beauty as could live.

+Minor Queries.
+
+_The Vellum-bound Junius._--Mr. Cramp, in his late publication, _Junius and
+his Works_, conjectures that the printer having bound a copy of _Junius_
+for and under the direction of the writer of the letters, followed the
+pattern in the binding of other copies; and this, he says, "will account
+for similar copies having been found in the libraries of so many persons,
+which from time to time has occasioned so much speculation." With Mr.
+Cramp's conjecture I do not concern myself; but I should be much obliged if
+he would inform me, through your Journal, in what libraries, and where,
+these many vellum-bound copies have been found, and where I can find the
+speculations to which they have given rise.
+
+V. B.
+
+_The Vellum-bound Junius._--Some years ago, on reading the private letters
+of Junius, addressed to H. S. Woodfall, and printed by G. Woodfall, 1812, I
+was particularly struck by those of No. 58. and 59., wherein he states a
+desire to have one set of his letters (which were published 3d March, 1772,
+by Woodfall) _bound in vellum_.
+
+Constantly bearing in mind the fact of the vellum copy, I invariably
+examined all the book {263} catalogues that came in my way for it. At last
+the long-wished-for object appeared in the Stowe sale, and I immediately
+gave my agent instruction to purchase the book for me, and he might offer
+as much as 10l.: he bid 8l., and then it was intimated that it was no use
+to go on; that fifty guineas would not purchase it, or any other sum.
+
+Query, Has this volume been in any other sale? if not, it certainly
+connects the Buckingham family with Junius, though it does not prove the
+author.

+_What is a "Tye?"_--In Essex, many parishes have a place called "the tye,"
+which I believe is always an out-lying place where three roads meet. In an

+cross once stood, and Tye a corruption of Dei? Forby, in his _East Anglian
+Vocabulary_, mentions it, but cannot make it out.

+_Was Charles II. ever in Wales?_--There is a tradition amongst the

+Colonel Pritchard, an officer in the Parliamentary army; and the story
+relates that he made himself known to his host, and threw himself upon his
+generosity for safety. The colonel assented to his staying for {264} _one_
+night only, but went away himself, afraid, as the story goes, that the
+Parliament should come to know he had succoured Charles. I know that
+Llancaiach was a place of considerable note long after that, and that an
+old farmer used to say he had heard tile story from his father. The
+historians, I believe, are all silent as to his having fled to Wales
+between the time of his defeat at Worcester and the time he left the
+country.

+
+The Dogshed-in-the-Pot here mentioned was, as I infer, a public-house in

+negative in the case can be proved, in the most logical, full, clear, and
+satisfactory manner, that--_He never was at Rome_; and _never was, either
+nominally or otherwise, Bishop_ _of the Church there_: and showing the
+grounds for the contrary assertion to be altogether baseless and untrue;
+being a tissue of self-contradicting forgeries and frauds, invented long

+BARONS OF HUGH LUPUS.
+
+(Vol. iii., pp. 87. 189.)
+
+The inquiry of P., in p. 87., seems to indicate an impression that all the
+witnesses to the charter of Hugh Lupus to Chester Abbey were barons of the
+Palatinate, but only a few of them were such, the rest being of England
+generally.
+
+The original barons of the Palatinate were clearly distinguishable by
+possession of privileges confirmed to them by a well-known charter of Earl
+Ranulph III.; and all the Norman founders of their baronies will be found,
+under Cestrescire, in Domesday, as tenants in capite, from the Earl
+Palatine, of lordships within the lyme of his county.
+
+_Bigod de Loges_ (one of the subjects of P.'s inquiry) will not bear this
+test, unless he was identical with Bigot, Norman lord of the manors
+afterwards comprised in Aldford Fee, which is not known to have been the
+case. For this last-named Bigot, whose lands descended through the Alfords
+to Arderne, reference may be made to the _History of Cheshire_, I. xxix.,
+II. 411.
+
+_William Malbanc_, the other subject of inquiry, who has eluded M. J. T.'s
+searches, is easily identified. He was the Norman baron of Nantwich, the
+Willelmus Malbedeng of the _Domesday Survey_ (vol. i. p. 265. col. 2.), and
+the name is also written thus in the copy of H. Lupus's charter referred
+to, which was ratified under inspection by Guncelyn de Badlesmere,
+Justiciary of Chester in 8 Edw. I.
+
+The charter, with Badlesmere's attestation prefixed, will be found in
+Leycester's _Cheshire Antiquities_, p. 109., and in Ormerod's _Hist. of
+Cheshire_, vol. i. p. 12. In the latter work, in vol. iii., the inquirer
+will also find an account of William Malbedeng or Malbanc, his estates, his
+descendant coheirs, and their several subdivisions, extending from p. 217.
+to p. 222., under the proper head of Nantwich or _Wich Malbanc_, a still
+existing Palatine barony.

+well-known public and authentic record.

+EDMUND PRIDEAUX AND THE FIRST POST-OFFICE.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 186.)
+
+In a recent number of "NOTES AND QUERIES" (which, by the way, I have only
+recently become acquainted with) I saw the Queries of your correspondent
+G. P. P. upon the above subject, and having some time ago had occasion to
+investigate it, I accumulated a mass of notes from various sources,--and
+these I send you, rough and unpolished as they are, in the hope that in the
+absence of better information, they may prove to be acceptable.
+
+Herodotus (viii. 98.) mentions the existence of a method of communication
+among the Persians, by means of horsemen placed at certain distances.
+
+In the Close and Misæ Rolls (_temp. King John et post_) payments are
+recorded for nuncii who were charged with the carriage of letters.
+
+In 1481, Edward IV., during his war with Scotland, established horse riders
+at _posts_ twenty miles apart, by which letters were conveyed two hundred
+miles in two days (Gale's _Hist. Croyland_); and the Scottish Parliament
+issued an ordinance for facilitating the expedition of couriers throughout
+the kingdom. Carriers of letters also existed in England about this time,
+for in a letter from Sir J. Paston, written in 1471, we are informed that
+"Courby, the carrier, hath had 40d. for the third hired horse," for a
+journey from Norwich to London and back. (Fenn's _Paston Letters_, 4to.
+vol. v. p. 73.)
+
+In 1542, letters reached Edinburgh on the fourth day from their despatch
+from London. (Sadler's _Letters and Negociations_.)
+
+In 1548, the rate to be charged for post-horse hire was fixed by statute (2
+& 3 Edw. VI. cap. 3.) at one penny per mile.
+
+In 1581 (according to Camden), Thomas Randolph was appointed the first
+Chief Postmaster of all England.
+
+James I. established (date unknown) the office of Foreign Postmaster, which
+was first held by Mathewe le Questor.
+
+In 1631, Charles I. appointed William Frizell and Thomas Witherings (in
+reversion) to the sole management of the foreign post-office. And at this
+date it seems a regular home post was also carried on, as appears by the
+following entry from the Corporation Books of Great Yarmouth:--"1631.
+Agreed, June 6, with the Postmaster of Ipswich to have Quarterly 20s. paid
+him for carrying and bringing letters to and from London to Yarmouth for
+the vse of the Towne."
+
+In 1635, Charles I. issued a proclamation for the establishment of "a
+running post or two, to {267} run night and day between Edinburgh and
+Scotland and the City of London, to go thither and come back again in six
+days:" branch posts were also to be established with all the principal
+towns on the road: the rates of postage were fixed at 2d. under 80 miles;
+4d. for 140 miles; 6d. beyond; and 8d. to Scotland. This is conclusive
+evidence that a regular post-office establishment existed nearly ten years
+_before Prideaux had anything to do with the post-office_.
+
+In 1640, a proclamation was issued by the Long Parliament, by which the
+offices of Foreign and Inland Postmaster (then held by Witherings) were
+sequestrated into the hands of one Philip Burlamachy, a city merchant. Soon
+after this we find a Committee of the Commons, with "Master Edmund
+Prideaux" for chairman, inquiring into the matter.
+
+In 1644, a resolution of the Commons declared that "Edmund Prideaux, Esq.,
+a member of the House," was "constituted master of the posts, messengers,
+and couriers."
+
+In 1649 Prideaux established a weekly conveyance to every part of the
+kingdom; and also appears to have introduced other judicious reforms and
+improvements,--indeed he seems to have been the Rowland Hill of those days;
+but he has not the slightest claim to be considered as the "Inventor of the
+Post-office." The mistake may have arisen from a misapprehension of the
+following statement frown Blackstone: "Prideaux first established a weekly
+conveyance of letters into all parts of the nation, _thereby saving to the
+public the charge of maintaining postmasters_, to the amount of 7000l. per
+annum."
+
+I have not been able to obtain any particulars of Prideaux's personal
+history.

+
+    [We avail ourselves of this opportunity of inserting the following
+    extract from Mr. Rowland Hill's _Post-Office Reform; its Importance and
+    Practicability_, p. 86. of the third edition, published in 1837, as it
+    shows clearly the use which Mr. Rowland Hill made of the story in his
+    great work of Postage Reform; and that Miss Martineau had clearly no
+    authority for fathering the story in question upon that gentleman:--
+
+    "Coleridge tells a story which shows how much the Post-office is open
+    to fraud, in consequence of the option as to pre-payment which now
+    exists. The story is as follows:--
+
+    'One day, when I had not a shilling which I could spare, I was passing
+    by a cottage not far from Keswick, where a letter-carrier was demanding
+    a shilling for a letter, which the woman of the house appeared
+    unwilling to pay, and at last declined to take. I paid the postage, and
+    when the man was out of sight, she told me that the letter was from her
+    son, who took that means of letting her know that he was well; the
+    letter was _not to be paid for_. It was then opened and found to be
+    blank!'[1]
+
+    "This trick is so obvious a one that in all probability it is
+    extensively practised."]
+
+[Footnote 1: _Letters, Conversations, and Recollections of S. T.
+Coleridge_, vol. ii. p. 114.]
+
+The quotations of your correspondent G. P. P., from Polwhele's _Cornwall_,
+relate to the same individual, and a more general construction must, I
+think, be put upon the expression "our countryman," than that it inferred a
+native of the county. The family of Prideaux was one of great antiquity,
+and originated in Cornwall (their first seat being at Prideaux Castle
+there), and had estates there in the time of the above Edmund. His father,
+Sir Edmund Prideaux, of Netherton (the first baronet), studied the law in
+the Inner Temple, where he became very eminent for his skill and learning.
+He is stated to have raised a large estate in the counties of Devon and
+Cornwall. He married  * * *; secondly, Catherine, daughter of Piers
+Edgecombe, of Mount Edgecombe, Esq., by whom he had two sons, Sir Peter his
+successor, and Edmund, the subject of your correspondent's Queries, who is
+thus described in Prince's _Worthies of Devon_, p. 509.:--
+
+    "This gentleman was bred to the law, and of so great a reputation, as
+    well for zeal to religion as skill in the law, it is not strange he was
+    chosen a Member of that which was called the Long Parliament, wherein
+    he became a very leading man; for, striking in with the prevailing
+    party of those times (though he never joined with them in setting upon
+    the life of his Sovereign), he grew up to great wealth and dignity. He
+    was made Commissioner of the Great Seal [1643. Rushworth, vol. iii. p.
+    242.], worth 1500l. a-year and by ordinance of Parliament practised
+    within the bar as one of the king's counsel, worth 5000l. per annum.
+    After that he was Attorney General, _worth what he pleased to make it_
+    [!!], and then _Postmaster General_ ... from all which rich employments
+    he acquired a great estate, and among other things purchased the _Abbey
+    of Ford_, lying in the Parish of Thorncombe, in Devonshire, where he
+    built a noble new house out of the ruins of the old," &c.
+
+Prideaux cannot be called the inventor of the Post-office, although to him
+may be attributed the extension of the system. The first inland letter
+office, which, however, extended to some of the principal roads only, was
+established by Charles I. in 1635, under the direction of Thomas
+Witherings, who was superseded in 1640. On the breaking out of the civil
+war, great confusion was occasioned in the conduct of the office, and about
+that time Prideaux's plan seems to have been conceived. {268} He was
+chairman of a committee in 1642 for considering the rates upon inland
+letters; and afterwards (1644) appointed Postmaster, in the execution of
+which office he first established a weekly conveyance of letters into all
+parts of the nation. Prior to this, letters were sent by special
+messengers, or postmasters, whose duty it was to supply relays of horses at
+a certain mileage. (_Blackstone_, book i. c. 8. s. 3.)
+
+I am unable to discover when Edmund Prideaux died; but it appears that
+either he, or one of his descendants, took part in the rising of the Duke
+of Monmouth in the West of England, upon which occasion the "great estate"
+was found of great service in providing a bribe for Lord Jeffreys. In the
+Life of Lord Jeffreys, annexed to the _Western Martyrology; or, Bloody
+Assizes_ (5th ed. 266. London, 1705), it is said that "A western
+gentleman's purchase came to fifteen or sixteen hundred guineas, which my
+Lord Chancellor had." And Rapin, vol. ii. p. 270., upon the authority of
+Echard, iii. p. 775., states that in 1685 one Mr. Prideaux, of Ford Abbey,
+Somerset, gave Jeffreys 14000l. [probably misprint for 1400l.] "to save his
+life."
+
+I think it likely that your correspondent may find further information upon
+the subject of this note, in the _Life of Dr. Humphrey Prideaux, Dean of
+Norwich_ (born 1648, died 1724), published in 1748.

+
+Eye, March 18. 1851.
+
+Polwhele was clearly wrong in designating Edmund Prideaux, the
+Attorney-General, a Cornishman, as he belonged to the family long seated in
+Devonshire, and was fourteenth in descent from Hickedon Prideaux, of
+Orcharton, in that county, second son of Nicholas, lord of Prideaux, in
+Cornwall, who died in 1169.
+
+The four Queries of G. P. P. may be more or less fully answered by
+reference to Prince's _Worthies of Devon_, ed. 1810, p. 651.; and an
+excellent history of the Post-office in the _Penny Magazine_ for 1834, p.
+33.
+
+Is it too much to ask of your correspondent, who writes from Putney under

+LADY JANE OF WESTMORELAND.
+
+(Vol. i., p. 103.; Vol. ii., p. 485.)
+
+_Jane_, Countess of Henry Neville, _fifth_ Earl of Westmoreland, was
+daughter of SIR ROGER CHOLMLEY, of Kinthorpe and Roxby, co. York. (_Vis.
+York. Harl. MS._ 1487. _fol._ 354.) She is often confused with his other
+wife, Anne Manners, and also with her own sister, Margaret Gascoigne, both
+in the Neville and Cholmley pedigrees as _printed_. (Burke's _Extinct
+Baronetage_, art. _Cholmley_, and _Extinct Peerage_, art. _Neville_.) But
+while the Manners pedigree in Collins's _Peerage_ (by Longmate, vol. i. p.
+433.), as cited by Q. D., removes the former difficulty, that of Gascoigne
+is disposed of by the Cholmley pedigree in Harl. MS. above quoted, as well
+as by that (though otherwise very incorrect) in Charlton's _Whitby_, book
+iii. pp. 290, 291. 313., and by the Gascoigne pedigree in Whitaker's
+_Richmondshire_, vol. i. p. 77. Thus we possess _legal and cotemporary_
+evidence who JANE, Countess of _Henry_, _fifth_ Earl of Westmoreland,
+really was, without any authentic obstacle or unremoveable contradiction to
+its reception, viz. that she was a _Cholmley_.
+
+But I conceive your correspondent's identification is _totally_ erroneous.
+It is true he only puts an hypothesis on the subject; but this hypothesis
+has no solid foundation. In the first place, Henry, fifth Earl of
+Westmoreland, died in 1549; and all authorities seem to agree that his
+first wife was Anne Manners, and his second Cholmley's daughter. Thus, if
+either of his countesses were living in 1585, it must have been the
+_latter_, by which means all chance of appropriation is removed from
+Manners to Cholmley. But I shall now give reasons for contending that
+neither of these ladies was your correspondent's Countess of Westmoreland,
+by referring him (2ndly) to Longmate's _Collins's Peerage_, vol. i. p. 96.,
+where he will find that _Jane_, daughter of Henry Howard, the talented and
+accomplished Earl of Surry, married Charles Neville, _sixth_ Earl of
+Westmoreland. He has evidently passed her over, through seeing her called
+_Anne_ in the Neville pedigrees: "Anne" and "Jane" being often mutually
+misread in old writing, from the cross upon the initial letter of the last
+name.
+
+I offer it to your correspondent's consideration, whether his "Jane,
+Countess of Westmoreland," was not wife of the said Charles Neville,
+_sixth_ Earl of Westmoreland, who was attainted 18 Eliz. (1575-6). His date
+is evidently most favourable to this view. It is true the attainder stands
+in the way; but if even this affords an obstacle, the next candidate for
+appropriation would be Jane _Cholmley_. Assuming, however, that your
+correspondent allows this lady as a candidate for the appropriation, her
+pedigree corroborates the claim. I have found, by long and minute
+observation, that hereditary talent, &c. usually descends by the _mesmeric_
+{269} tie of affection and favoritism, from fathers to the eldest daughter,
+and from mothers to the eldest son; and the pedigree of _Jane_, Countess of
+Charles, _sixth_ Earl of Westmoreland, stands thus:--
+
+  EDWARD STAFFORD, Duke of Buckingham; great,
+  good, and accomplished, and fell a victim to envy.==

+  Duke of Norfolk.  ==

+                   |

+  _1st Dau._ JANE, wife of Charles Neville, sixth Earl of
+  Westmoreland (and qu. the authoress in question?).
+
+Besides being eldest daughter of the celebrated poet, the said Jane,
+Countess of Westmoreland, was sister of Henry Howard, the learned Earl of
+Northampton, her father's younger son--(some younger son, like eldest
+daughters, generally inheriting, physically, in some prominent feature,
+from the father).

+parts of his theory from Father Hell, of whom he was afterwards jealous,
+and therefore very abusive. The life of Hell in Dr. Aikin's _General

+
+The author of _The History of the Church of Rome to the end of the
+Episcopate of Damasus_, A.D. 384, which has just been published by Messrs.
+Longman, well remarks, "that he is not aware that there is any account of
+the Church of Rome, framed on the simple and obvious principle of merely
+collecting and arranging the testimony of history with regard to facts, and
+so presented to the reader as that he should leave a right to believe that
+when he has read what is before him, he {270} has learnt all that is to
+known. This is strange, considering the points at issue, and the extent,
+duration, and intensity of the controversies which have been carried on
+between that Church and the rest of Christendom." It is indeed strange, and
+it happens fortunately, looking at the all-important question which now
+agitates the public mind, that the subject should have engaged for some
+years the attention of a learned, acute, and laborious scholar like Mr.
+Shepherd, so that he is enabled to put forth the result of his inquiries
+upon this interesting topic at this moment. Mr. Shepherd's book is indeed a
+startling one: and when we tell our readers that he "has proved, or, to say
+the least, has given such indications as will lead to the proof that some
+documents which have been quoted as authorities in the History of the Early
+Christian Church, are neither genuine nor authentic;" that he has pretty
+well resolved St. Cyprian into a purely mythic personage; and shown that
+all the letters in his works passed between imagined or imaginary
+correspondents,--we think we are justified in pronouncing his _History of
+the Church of Rome_ a work calculated to excite the deepest interest in all
+who peruse it (and by the omission of all long quotations in the learned
+languages, it is adapted for the perusal of all), to exercise great
+influence on the public mind, and to awaken a host of endeavours to combat
+and overthrow arguments which appear to us, however, to be irresistible.

+doubt will be very acceptable; first, from the interest of the plays

+
+BOOKS RECEIVED.--_Supplement on the Doctrine and Discipline of the Greek
+Church._ We characterised Mr. Appleyard's interesting little volume,
+entitled, _The Greek Church_, as historical rather than doctrinal. The
+title of this Supplement shows that it expressly supplies the very material
+in which the original work was deficient.--_Archæologia Cambrensis, New
+Series, No. VI._ A very good number of this record of the Antiquities of
+Wales and its Marches, and in which are commenced two series of papers of
+great interest to the Principality: one on the Architectural Antiquities of
+Monmouthshire, by Mr. Freeman; the other on the Poems of Taliessin, by Mr.
+Stephens.

+
+On the 31st of March was commenced the Publication of a
+
+NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED LIBRARY,
+
+In Monthly Volumes, each containing Three Hundred and Twenty Pages, and
+from Thirty to a Hundred Engravings,
+
+Price Half-a-Crown, Beautifully Bound.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The Age in which we live is essentially of a _practical_ character, and the
+predominant principle influencing all classes is a marked desire for
+_cheapness_. Cheapness, however, is too often found without excellence, and
+hence this proposition to supply a deficiency at present existing in the
+popular literature of this country.
+
+For some time past the projectors of the present undertaking have felt
+interested in watching the result of an experiment simultaneously made by
+the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Book Trades; and, having seen that cheap,
+and occasionally indifferent literature, "got up" in a most inferior
+manner, _will sell_, they feel assured that good and judiciously selected
+works, having the additional advantage of COPIOUS ILLUSTRATION, being
+produced with the utmost attention to general excellence, and published at
+the moderate price fixed upon, cannot fail to secure extensive patronage
+from the Reading Public. The principle upon which they can undertake to
+supply good books at a low rate is, that being themselves the _actual
+producers_, they are enabled to save the public the expense of all
+_intermediate profit_.
+
+As a practical explanation of the above views, THREE SAMPLE VOLUMES of the
+"NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED LIBRARY" were published on the 31st of March. It will
+be observed that these volumes are widely different in character, in order
+that the public may form some idea of the extent and variety of the series
+generally. Afterwards, one volume will be issued monthly. Each volume will
+contain at least 320 crown octavo pages, illustrated according to the
+requirements of the subject-matter, by from 30 to 100 illustrations, and
+will be _strongly bound_ in ornamental cloth boards. Thus, for 30s. a year,
+in the course of a short period, a Library of great extent and interest may
+be formed, which shall furnish materials for instruction and amusement
+during the course of a long life.
+
+The chief advantages which this series of works will present over all
+others--more especially the closely printed double column editions, and the
+new fashioned, though equally objectionable, Shilling books, with their
+numerous errors, thin paper, and flimsy binding, are the following:--
+
+  1. A carefully Revised Text.
+  2. Judicious Explanatory Foot Notes.
+  3. Engravings really Illustrating the Text.
+  4. A new and legible Type.
+  5. Good Paper and Printing.
+  6. Strong neat Binding.
+
+In carrying out their undertaking it will be the endeavour of the
+projectors to bestow upon Half-crown Volumes for the _many_ the same
+typographical accuracy, and the same artistic ability, hitherto almost
+exclusively devoted to high-priced books for the _few_. Supported by the
+co-operation of the Reading Public, no pains will be spared to provide
+every English home with a complete treasury of knowledge and entertainment
+in the volumes of the "NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED LIBRARY."

+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

+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.
