At the same time, they reflected that perhaps the Church + of England was not exactly in the middle, and that she would not lose + were she to move a little nearer the Puritan side. Accordingly, various + attempts were made to enlarge the terms of her communion, and eject from + her service-book any lingering "relics of Popery" which might offend the + weaker brethren yclept the Puritans: thus to make a grand Comprehension + Creed—a Church to include all Protestants.</p> + + <p>This was tried in James I.'s reign at the Savoy Conference; but in + spite of Baxter's strenuous efforts and model prayer-book, it was a + failure. Even Archbishop Sancroft was led to attempt a similar + Comprehensive Scheme, so terrified was he at the dominance of the Roman + Church in the Second James's reign: however, William's accession, and his + becoming a nonjuror, crossed his design. In 1689, Tillotson, Burnet, and + a number of William's "Latitudinarian" clergy made a bold push for it. A + Comprehension Bill actually passed the House of Lords, but was thrown out + by the Commons and Convocation. From William's time toleration and + encouragement were extended to all save "Popish Recusants;" so that there + were a large number in the Church of England ready to assist their + comrades <i>outside</i> in breaking down her fences. The High Churchmen, + however, as may be guessed, would not sit tamely by, and see the leading + idea of the Anglican Church thrown to the winds, her <i>via media</i> + profaned, her park made a common, and her distinctive doctrines and + fences levelled to the ground. What <i>their</i> feelings were, may be + gathered from this indignant invective:</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"The most of the inconveniences we labour under to this day, owe their + original to the weakness of some and to the cowardice of others of the + clergy.

The + dissenters, as well skilled in the art of war, have besieged the Church + in form: and at all periods and seasons have raised their batteries, and + carried on their saps and counter-scarps against her. They have left no + means unessayed or practised, to weaken her. And when open violence has + been baffled, and useless, <i>stratagem</i> and contrivance have supplied + what force could never effect. Hence it is, that under the cant of + <i>conscience</i> and <i>scruple</i>, they have feigned a compliance of + embracing her communion; if such and such ceremonies and rules that then + stood in force could be omitted, or connived at: and having once broke + ground on her discipline, they have continued to carry on their trenches, + and had almost brought the <i>Great Comprehension-Horse</i> within our + walls; whilst the <i>complying</i>, or the <i>moderate</i> clergy (as + they are called), like the infatuated <i>Trojans</i>, helped forward the + <i>unwieldy machine</i>; nor were they aware of the danger and + destruction that might have issued out of him."—<i>The + Entertainer</i>, London, 1718, p. 153.<a name="footnotetag5" + href="#footnote5"><sup>[5]</sup></a></p> + +</blockquote> + +<p><!-- Page 488 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="page488"></a>{488}</span></p> + + <p>I shall but add a postscript to my former Note.

The extracts show these extraordinary facts.</p> + + <p>Out of the 799 persons buried in that period, no less than 263, or + nearly one-third, attained the age of 70. Of these two, viz. Mary + Postgate, who died in 1816, and Ann Stonehouse, who died in 1823, + attained respectively the ages of 101. Nineteen others were 90 years of + age and upwards, viz. one was 97, one was 96, one was 95, four were 94, + one was 93, five were 92, three were 91, and three were 90.

Southal appears to have + been an illiterate person; and he erroneously ascribes the introduction + of the insect into this country to the large quantities of foreign fir + used to rebuild London after the Great Fire.</p> + + <p>The word <i>bug</i>, signifying a frightful object or spectre, derived + from the Celtic and the root of <i>bogie</i>, bug-aboo, bug-bear—is + well known in our earlier literature.

Milton elsewhere (<i>Par. + Lost</i>, book vi. 251.) speaks of the "huge two-handed sway" of this + sword of St. Michael; and here, in <i>Lycidas</i> he repeats the epithet + to identify the instrument which is to accomplish the destruction of the + wolf.

For example, a correspondent informs me that the governors of + Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Wimborne, Dorset, are laying by + 10<i>l.</i> a year towards the purchase of books for that purpose: that + having no library at present, there now is a favourable opportunity for + either a gift or a bequest: but I should in any case prefer a selection + of works likely to prove readable for young people, as history, + biography, travels, and the popular works of science.</p> + + <p>I can quite imagine that Eton, Winchester, Westminster, Harrow, + Shrewsbury, and other similar great schools, would have such libraries, + but these are not half the number of our public foundations; the wealthy + schools above mentioned, and the rich men's children who go to them, + would be in a sad plight indeed were they not amply provided for in such + matters. But there are others whose mission is not less important, + perhaps more so; and on this head none would be better pleased than I to + find I laboured under an "erroneous impression," as remarked by <span + class="sc">Etonensis</span>. The English public appeared to have an + "erroneous impression" that they were better provided with books than any + other people a short time ago, till it was disproved when the agitation + respecting parochial libraries was set on foot, the facts appearing on + the institution of the Marylebone public library.</p> + + <p>It has been shown that in France and Germany the public libraries, and + the volumes in them, far exceed any that we possess; a strange fact, when + we are better provided with standard authors than any other language in + the world. I should much wish these brief parallels answered. The city of + Lyons has a magnificent public library of 100,000 vols., open to all; how + many has her rival Manchester? Boulogne has a public library of 16,000 + vols.; how many has Southampton? From the obliging notices of + correspondents in "N. & Q.," we have had several articles on + parochial libraries, and the sum of the whole appears to be most + miserable; surely some bad system has prevailed either in not having + proper places for them, or in some other fault. In one place the resident + clergyman sells them: surely if they were combined under some enlarged + plan, people desirous of making bequests or gifts would do so very + willingly when they knew they would be cared for and made use of; for it + is probably the case that private libraries are more numerous here than + abroad, and that there are altogether more books in the country. I am + told by a correspondent that in his time there were no books at Christ's + Hospital, therefore the bequest made is, I presume, a late one; and if + such is the case, it will be a favourable opportunity for the governors + of that school to enlarge the collection and make it available to the + scholars.</p> + + <p>If, therefore, our schools are no better provided than our public + libraries, the inquiry may be of service; but if they are, it cannot do + harm to know their condition. It is true I have heard of but one public + school hitherto that has no library and wants one, but I shall remain + unsatisfied till other returns make their appearance in "N. & Q." or + privately, when, if it should appear I have taken a wrong opinion, I + shall be as please as anybody else to find myself mistaken.</p> + + <p class="author"><span class="sc">Weld Taylor.</span></p> + + <p class="address">Bayswater.</p> + + <p>In answer to your correspondent <span class="sc">Mr. Weld + Taylor's</span> Query on this subject, may I be allowed to say that at + Tonbridge School, where I was educated, there is a very good general + library, consisting of the best classical works in our own language, + travels, chronicles, histories, and the best works of fiction and poetry, + and I believe all modern periodicals.</p> + + <p>This library is under the care of the head boy for the time being, and + he, with the other monitors, acts as librarian.

I well know the delicacy which is required in + applying the albumen <i>evenly</i> to the surface of the paper, and am + therefore not surprised to find that each of his "longitudinal strokes" + remains clearly indicated, thereby entirely destroying the effect of the + picture.</p> + + <p>He also advises that the paper should not be afterwards <i>ironed</i>, + as it is apt to produce flaws and spots on the albumenized surface; and + he believes that the chemical action of the nitrate of silver alone is + sufficient to coagulate the albumen, without the application of heat. + This I have found <i>in practice</i> to be incorrect: for when I have + excited albumenized paper, to which a sufficient heat has not been + applied, I have invariably observed that a portion of the albumen becomes + detached into the silver solution, making it viscid, and favouring its + decomposition. Consequently, the sheets <i>last</i> excited seldom retain + their colour so long as those which are first prepared. But even laying + aside the question of the coagulation of the albumen, the paper, unless + it is ironed, remains so "cockled up," that it is not only unsightly, but + very difficult to use. 100-grain solution of nitrate of silver (I presume + to the ounce) is also recommended. In a late Number, I find <span + class="sc">Dr. Diamond</span> uses a 40-grain solution with perfect + success; and my own experience enables me to verify this formula as being + sufficiently powerful:—no additional intensity of colour being + obtained by these strong solutions, it is a mere waste of material. + Therefore I think your correspondent fails in effecting either economy of + material or time.</p> + + <p>However painful it may be to me to offer remarks at variance with the + opinions of your kind and intelligent correspondents, yet I consider it a + duty that yourself and readers should not be misled, and so interesting + and elegant an art as photography brought into disrepute by experiments + which, however well intentioned, plainly indicate a want of + experience.</p> + + <p class="author">K.

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 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.
