+
+THE STATE PRISON IN THE TOWER.
+
+A paragraph has lately gone the round of the newspapers, in which, after
+mentioning the alterations recently made in the Beauchamp Tower and the
+opening of its "written walls" to public inspection, it is stated that this
+Tower was formerly the place of confinement for state prisoners, and that
+"Sir William Wallace and Queen Anne Boleyn" were amongst its inmates.
+
+Now, I believe there is no historical authority for saying that "the
+Scottish hero" was ever confined in the Tower of London; and it seems
+certain that the unfortunate queen was a prisoner in the royal apartments,
+which were in a different part of the fortress. But so many illustrious
+persons are known to have been confined in the Beauchamp Tower, and its
+walls preserve so many curious inscriptions--the undoubted autographs of
+many of its unfortunate tenants--that it must always possess great
+interest.
+
+Speaking from memory, I cannot say whether the building known as the
+Beauchamp (or Wakefield) Tower was even in existence in the time of Edward
+I.; but my impression is, that its architecture is not of so early a time.
+It is, I believe, supposed to derive its name from the confinement in it of
+Thomas de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, in 1397. Of course it was not the
+only place of durance of state prisoners, but it was the prison of most of
+the victims of Tudor cruelty who were confined in the Tower of London; and
+the walls of the principal chamber which is on the first storey, and was,
+until lately, used as a mess-room for the officers, are covered in some
+parts with those curious inscriptions by prisoners which were first
+described in a paper read before the Society of Antiquaries in 1796, by the
+Rev. J. Brand, and published in the thirteenth volume of _The Arch�ologia_.
+
+Mr. P. Cunningham, in his excellent _Handbook_, says:
+
+    "William Wallace was lodged as a prisoner on his first arrival in
+    London in the house of William de Leyre, a citizen, in the parish of
+    All Hallows Staining, at the end of Fenchurch Street."
+
+{510}
+
+Mr. Cunningham, in his notice of the Tower, mentions Wallace first among
+the eminent persons who have been confined there. The popular accounts of
+the Tower do the like. It was about the Feast of the Assumption (Aug. 15)
+that Wallace was taken and conducted to London; and it seems clear that he
+was forthwith imprisoned in the citizen's house:
+
+    "He was lodged," says Stow, "in the house of William Delect, a citizen
+    of London, in Fenchurch Street. On the morrow, being the eve of St.
+    Bartholomew (23rd Aug.), he was brought on horseback to Westminster ...
+    the mayor, sheriffs, and aldermen of London accompanying him; and in
+    the Great Hall at Westminster ... being impeached," &c.
+
+The authorities cited are, Adam Merimuth and Thomas de La More. His
+arraignment and condemnation on the Vigil of St. Bartholomew are also
+mentioned by Matthew Westminster, p. 451. Neither these historians, or Stow
+or Holinshed, afford any farther information. The latter chronicler says
+that Wallace was "condemned, and thereupon hanged" (_Chron._, fol., 1586,
+vol. ii. p. 313.). He was executed at Smithfield; and it is not improbable
+that, if, after his condemnation, he was taken to any place of safe
+custody, he was lodged in Newgate. The following entry of the expenses of
+the sheriffs attending his execution is on the Chancellor's Roll of 33 Edw.
+I. in the British Museum:
+
+    "Et in expen[=s] [=t] misis [=f]cis [crossed p] eos[=d] Vice^{tes}
+    [crossed p] Willo le Walleys Scoto lat^one predone puplico utlagato
+    inimico et rebellione [Rx] qui in contemptu [Rx] [crossed p] Scociam se
+    Regem Scocie falso fec[=a]t n[=o]iare [=t] [=t] ministros [Rx] in
+    [crossed p]t[=i]bus Scocie in[=t]fecit at[crossed q] dux^t excercit[=u]
+    hostili[=t] contr^a Reg[=e] [crossed p] judici[=u] Cu[=r] [Rx] apud
+    West[=m] dist^ahendo suspendendo decollando e[=j] viscera concremando
+    ac e[=j] corpus q^arterando cu[=j] cor[crossed p]is quar[=t]ia ad iiij
+    majores villas Scocie t^asmittebantur hoc anno.... _�_xj s. xd."
+
+The day of the trial, August 23, is generally given the date of his
+execution. It therefore appears that the formidable Scot never was a
+prisoner in the Tower.
+
+The unfortunate Queen Anne Boleyn occupied the royal apartments while she
+was a prisoner in the Tower. From Speed's narrative, it appears that she
+continued to occupy them after she was condemned to death. On May 15 (1536)
+she was (says Stow)
+
+    "Arraigned in the Tower on a scaffold made for the purpose in the
+    King's Hall; and after her condemnation, she was conveyed to ward
+    again, the Lady Kingston, and the Lady Boloigne her aunt, attending on
+    her."
+
+On May 19, the unfortunate queen was led forth to "the green by the White
+Tower" and beheaded.
+
+In the record of her trial before the Duke of Norfolk, Lord High Steward
+(see _Report of Deputy Keeper of Public Records_), she is ordered to be
+taken back to "the king's prison within the Tower;" but these are words of
+form. The oral tradition cannot in this case be relied upon, for it pointed
+out the Martin Tower as the place of her imprisonment because, as I
+believe, her name was found rudely inscribed upon the wall. The Beauchamp
+Tower seems to have been named only because it was the ordinary state
+prison at the time. The narrative quoted by Speed shows, however, that the
+place of her imprisonment was the queen's lodging, where the fading honours
+of royalty still surrounded Anne Boleyn.

+INEDITED LETTER FROM HENRY VIII. OF ENGLAND TO JAMES V. OF SCOTLAND.
+
+I lately transcribed several very interesting original manuscripts, chiefly
+of the seventeenth century, but some of an earlier date, and now send you a
+literal specimen of one evidently belonging to the sixteenth century;
+although, notwithstanding the day of the month is given, the year is not.
+If you think it worthy of a place in your very excellent publication, you
+are quite at liberty to make use of it, and I shall be happy to send you
+some of the others, if you choose to accept them. They chiefly relate to
+the period when the Duke of Lauderdale was commissioner for Scotch affairs
+at the English Court; and one appears to be a letter addressed by the
+members of the Scottish College at Paris to James I. on the death of his
+mother.

+    [This letter, which is not included in the _State Papers_, "King Henry
+    VIII.," published by the Record Commissioners, was probably written on
+    the 7th December, 1524-25, as in the fourth volume of that collection
+    is a letter from Magnus to Wolsey, in which he says, p. 301.: "Davy
+    Wood came hoome about the same tyme, and sithenne his hider comming
+    hath doone, and continually dooth myche good, making honourable reaport
+    not oonly to the Quenes Grace, but also to all other. He is worthy

+    queen, Margaret of Scotland.]

+
+HANDBOOK TO THE LIBRARY OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
+
+In the _Report_ of the royal commissioners on the British Museum, printed
+in 1850, we read--
+
+    "We are of opinion that, with reference to such a measure as the one
+    now suggested [giving information to persons at a distance as to the
+    existence of works in the library], and to other measures and
+    regulations generally affecting the use of the library, it is desirable
+    to prepare and publish a compendious _Guide to the reading-room_, as
+    described and _suggested_ by lord Seymour at Q. 9521."
+
+The reference is erroneous. At Q. 9521. there is not a word on the subject!
+At Q. 9522. we read--
+
+    "(_Lord Seymour_--to Antonio Panizzi, Esq.) You have heard also _some
+    witnesses_ state that it would be a great advantage to those who
+    frequent the reading-room if they had put into their hands some short
+    printed guide to the reading-room, to tell them what books of reference
+    there were, and to tell them how they were to proceed to get books, and
+    other information, from the want of which they state they have been at
+    a great loss? (_Mr. Panizzi._) I do not believe that it is often the
+    case that persons are at a loss for want of such a guide, but _it might
+    be done_," etc.
+
+Now, the suggestion of a _short printed guide to the reading-room_ was
+evidently considered as of some importance. The principle of SUUM CUIQUE is
+also of some importance. We observe that lord Seymour the examiner ascribes
+the suggestion to _some witnesses_--but lord Seymour the reporter claims
+the credit of it for himself! It is the after-thought of his lordship of
+which I have to complain.
+
+If we turn to the evidence, it will appear that Mr. Peter Cunningham
+suggested a printed "catalogue of the books in the reading-room," Q.
+4800.--I must now speak of myself. When summoned before the commissioners
+as a witness, I took with me the printed _Directions respecting the
+reading-room_ for the express purpose of pointing out their inconsistency
+and insufficiency, and of advocating the preparation of a guide-book.
+
+I cannot repeat my arguments. It would occupy too much space. I can only
+refer to the questions 6106-6116. The substance is this:--I contended that
+every person admitted to the reading-room should be furnished with
+instructions _how to proceed_--instructions as to the _catalogues which he
+should consult_--and instructions for _asking for the books_. On that
+evidence rests my claim to the credit of having suggested a _Guide to the
+reading-room_. Its validity shall be left to the decision of those who
+venerate the motto of Tom Hearne--SUUM CUIQUE.
+
+The trustees of the British Museum seem to have paid no attention to the
+recommendation of the royal commissioners. They issue the same _Directions_
+as before. _After_ you have obtained admission to the reading-room, you are
+furnished with instructions as to the mode of obtaining it!--but you have
+no guide to the numerous catalogues.
+
+What Mr. Antonio Panizzi, the keeper of the department of printed books,
+says _might be done_, Mr. Richard Sims, of the department of manuscripts,
+says _shall be done_. His _Handbook to the library of the British Museum_
+is a very comprehensive and instructive volume. It is a triumphant
+refutation of the opinions of those who, to the vast injury of literature,
+and serious inconvenience of men of letters, slight common sense and real
+utility in favour of visionary schemes and pedantic elaboration.
+
+There is no want of precedents for a work of this class, either abroad or
+at home. As to the public library at Paris--I observe, in my own small
+collection, an _Essai historique sur la biblioth�que du roi_, par M. le
+Prince; a _Histoire du cabinet des m�dailles_, par M. Marion du Mersan; a
+_Notice des estampes_, par M. Duchesne, &c.
+
+For a precedent at home, I shall refer to the _Synopsis of the contents of
+the British Museum_. The _first_ edition of that interesting work, with the
+{512} valued autograph of _G. Shaw_, is now before me. It is dated in 1808.
+I have also the _sixtieth_ edition, printed in this year. I cannot expect
+to see a sixtieth edition of the _Handbook_, but it deserves to be placed
+by the side of the _Synopsis_, and I venture to predict for it a wide
+circulation.

+
+FOLK LORE.
+
+_Derbyshire Folk Lore._--Many years ago I learned the following verses in
+Derbyshire, with reference to magpies:
+
+ "One is a sign of sorrow; two are a sign of mirth;
+  Three are a sign of a wedding; and four a sign of a birth."
+
+The opinion that a swarm of bees settling on a dead tree forebodes a death
+in the family also prevails in Derbyshire.
+
+In that county also there is an opinion that a dog howling before a house
+is an indication that some one is dying within the house; and I remember an
+instance where, as I heard at the time, a dog continued howling in a street
+in front of a house in which a lady was dying.
+
+It is also a prevalent notion that if the sun shines through the
+apple-trees on Christmas Day, there will be an abundant crop the following
+year.
+
+I never heard the croaking of a raven or carrion crow mentioned as an
+indication of anything, which is very remarkable, as well on account of its
+ill-omened sound, as because it was so much noticed by the Romans.
+
+S. G. C.
+
+_Weather Superstitions._--If it rains much during the twelve days after
+Christmas Day, it will be a wet year. So say the country people.
+
+"If there is anything in this, 1853 will be a wet year, for it has rained
+_every_ day of the twelve." So wrote I under date January 9.
+
+No one, I think, will deny that for once the shaft has hit the mark.

+_Weather Rhymes, &c._--The following are very common in Northamptonshire:

+ "Rain before seven,
+  Fine before eleven."
+
+ "Fine on Friday, fine on Sunday.
+  Wet on Friday, wet on Sunday."
+
+ "The wind blows cold
+  On Burton Hold (Wold).
+    Can you spell _that_ with four letters?
+    I can spell _it_ with two."
+
+Burton Hold, or Wold, is near Burton Latimer.

+_Folk Lore in Cambridgeshire_ (Vol. viii., p. 382.).--The custom referred
+to by MR. MIDDLETON, of ringing the church bell early in the morning for
+the gleaners to repair to the fields, and again in the evening for their
+return home, is still kept up not only at Hildersham, but also in most of
+the villages in this neighbourhood. I have heard this "gleaners' bell"
+several times during this present autumn; the object of course being to
+give all parties a fair and equal chance. Upon one occasion, where the
+villages lie rather close together, I heard four of these bells sounding
+their recall from different church towers; and as I was upon an eminence
+from whence I could see the different groups wending their way to their
+respective villages, it formed one of the most striking pastoral pictures I
+have ever witnessed, such, perhaps, as England alone can furnish.

+
+RAPPING NO NOVELTY.
+
+It may be interesting to the believers in modern miracles to learn that at
+all events "rapping" is no new thing. I now send you the account of an
+incident in the sixteenth century, which bears a strong resemblance to some
+of those veracious narrations which have enlightened mankind in the
+nineteenth century.
+
+Rushton Hall, near Kettering in Northamptonshire, was long the residence of
+the ancient and distinguished family of Treshams. In the reign of Queen
+Elizabeth, the mansion was occupied by Sir Thomas Tresham, who was a pedant
+and a fanatic; but who was an important character in his time by reason of
+his great wealth and powerful connexions. There is a lodge at Rushton,
+situate about half a mile from the old hall, now in ruins; but covered all
+over, within and without, with emblems of the Trinity. This lodge is known
+to have been built by Sir Thomas Tresham; but his precise motive for
+selecting this mode of illustrating his favourite doctrine was unknown
+until it appeared from a letter written by himself about the year 1584, and
+discovered in a bundle of books and papers inclosed, since 1605, in a wall
+in the old mansion, and brought to light about twenty years ago. The
+following relation of a "rapping" or "knocking" is extracted from this
+letter:
+
+    "If it be demanded why I labour so much in the Trinity and Passion of
+    Christ to depaint in this chamber, this is the principal instance
+    thereof; That at my last being hither committed[1], and I usually
+    having my servants here allowed me, to read nightly an hour to me after
+    supper, it fortuned that Fulcis, my then servant, reading in the
+    _Christian Resolution_, in the treatise of _Proof that there is a God,
+    &c._, there was upon a wainscot table at that instant three loud knocks
+    {513} (as if it had been with an iron hammer) given; to the great

+Minor Notes.
+
+_Bond a Poet, 1642, O.S._--In the _Perfect Diurnall_, March 29, 1642, we
+have the following curious notice:
+
+    "Upon the meeting of the House of Lords, there was complaint made
+    against one Bond, a poet, for making a scandalous letter in the queen's
+    name, sent from the Hague to the king at York. The said Bond attended
+    upon order, and was examined, and found a delinquent; upon which they
+    voted him to stand in the pillory several market days in the new Palace
+    (Yard), Westminster, and other places, and committed him to the
+    Gatehouse, besides a long imprisonment during the pleasure of the
+    house: and they farther ordered that as many of the said letter as
+    could be found should be burnt."
+
+His recantation, which he afterwards made, is in the British Museum.

+
+_The late Harvest._--In connexion with the present late and disastrous
+harvest, permit me to contribute a distich current, as an old farmer
+observed to-day, "when I was a boy:"
+
+ "When we carry wheat o' the fourteenth of October,
+  Then every man goeth home sober."
+
+Meaning that the prospect of the "yield" was not good enough to permit the
+labourers to get drunk upon it.

+
+_Misquotation._--In an article entitled "Popular Ballads of the English
+Peasantry," a correspondent of "N. & Q." (Vol. v., p. 603.) quotes as "that
+spirit-stirring stanza of _immortal John_," the lines:
+
+ "Jesus, the name high over all," &c.
+
+These lines were not written by _John_, but by _Charles Wesley_. Here is
+the proof:
+
+1st. A hymn of which the stanza quoted is the first, appears (p. 40.) in
+the _Collection of Hymns_ published by John Wesley in 1779; but in the
+preface he says, "but a small part of these hymns are of my own composing."
+
+2nd. In his _Plain Account of Christian Perfection_, he says:
+
+    "In the year 1749, my brother printed two volumes of _Hymns and Sacred
+    Poems_. As I _did not see them_ before they were published, there were
+    some things in them which I did not approve of; but I quite approved of
+    the main of the hymns on this head."--_Works_, vol. xi. p. 376., 12mo.
+    ed. 1841.
+
+3rd. The lines quoted by your correspondent form the ninth stanza of a hymn
+of twenty-two stanzas (which includes the six in John Wesley's
+_Collection_), written "after preaching (in a church)," and published in
+"_Hymns and Sacred Poems_. In two volumes. By Charles Wesley, M.A., Student
+of Christ Church, Oxford. Bristol: printed and sold by Felix Farley, 1749."
+A copy is in my possession. The hymn is No. 194.; and the stanza referred
+to will be found in vol. i. p. 306.

+_Epitaph in Ireland._--The following lines were transcribed by me, and form
+part of an epitaph upon a tombstone or mural slab, which many years past
+was to be found in (if I mistake not) the churchyard of Old Kilcullen, co.
+Kildare:
+
+ "Ye wiley youths, as you pass by,
+  Look on my grave with weeping eye:
+  Waste not your _strenth_ before it blossom,
+  For if you do _yous_ will _shurdley_ want it."

+
+_Reynolds (Sir Joshua's) Baptism._--I have been favoured by the incumbent
+of Plympton S. Maurice with a copy of the following entry in the Register
+of Baptisms of that parish, together with the appended note; which, if the
+fact be not generally known, may be of interest to your correspondent A. Z.
+(Vol. viii., p. 102.) as well as to others among the readers of "N. & Q.":
+
+    "1723. Joseph, son of Samuel Reynolds, clerk, baptised July the 30th."
+
+On another page is the following memorandum:
+
+    "In the entry of baptisms for the year 1723, the person by mistake
+    named _Joseph_, son of Samuel Reynolds, clerk, baptized July 30th, was
+    _Joshua_ Reynolds, the celebrated painter, who died February 23, 1792."
+
+Samuel Reynolds, the father, was master of Plympton Grammar School from
+about 1715 to 1745, in which year he died. During that period his name
+appears once in the parish book, in the year 1742, as "minister for the
+time being" (not incumbent of the parish): the Rev. Geo. Langworthy having
+been the incumbent from 1736 to 1745, both inclusive.
+
+Query, Was Sir Joshua by mistake _baptized Joseph_? or was the mistake made
+after baptism, in _registering the name_?

+_Tradescant._--The pages of "N. & Q." have elicited and preserved so much
+towards the history of John Tradescant and his family, that the
+accompanying extract from the register of St. Nicholas Cole Abbey, in the
+city of London, should have a place in one of its Numbers:
+
+    "1638. _Marriages._--John Tradeskant of Lambeth, co. Surrey, and Hester
+    Pooks of St. Bride's, London, maiden, married, by licence from Mr.
+    Cooke, Oct. 1."

+This lady erected the original monument in Lambeth churchyard upon the
+death of her husband in 1662. She died 1678.

+
+GRAMMAR IN RELATION TO LOGIC.
+
+Dr. Latham (_Outlines of Logic_, p. 21., 1847, and _English Language_, p.
+510., 2nd edition) defines the conjunction to be a part of speech that
+connects _propositions_, not _words_. His doctrine is so palpably and
+demonstrably false, that I am somewhat at a loss to understand how a man of
+his penetration can be so far deceived by a crotchet as to be blind to the
+host of examples which point to the direct converse of his doctrine. Let
+the learned Doctor try to resolve the sentence, _All men are either
+two-legged, one-legged, or no-legged_, into three constituent propositions.
+It cannot be done; _either_ and _or_ are here conjunctions which connect
+words and not propositions. In the example, _John and James carry a
+basket_, it is of course quite plain that the _logic_ of the matter is that
+_John carries one portion of the basket, and James carries the rest_. But
+to identify these two propositions with the first mentioned, is to confound
+grammar with logic. The former deals with the method of expression, the
+latter with the method of stating (in thought) and syllogising. To take
+another example, _Charles and Thomas stole all the apples_. The fact
+probably was, that Charles' pockets contained some of the apples, and
+Thomas' pockets contained all the rest. But the business of grammar in the
+above sentence is to regulate the _form_ of the expression, not to reason
+upon the _matter_ expressed. A little thought will soon convince any person
+accustomed to these subjects that _conjunctions always connect words, not
+propositions_. The only work in which I leave seen Dr. Latham's fundamental
+error exposed, is in Boole's _Mathematical Analysis of Logic_; the learned
+author, though he seems unsettled on many matters of logic and metaphysics,
+has clearly made up his mind on the point now under discussion. He says:
+
+    "The proposition, every animal is _either_ rational _or_ irrational,
+    cannot be resolved into, _Either_ every animal is rational, _or_ every
+    animal is irrational. The former belong to pure categoricals, to latter
+    to hypotheticals [Query _disjunctives_]. In _singular_ propositions
+    such conversions would seem to be allowable. This animal is _either_
+    rational _or_ irrational, is equivalent to, _Either_ this animal is
+    rational, _or_ it is irrational. This peculiarity of _singular_
+    propositions would almost justify our ranking them, though truly
+    universals, in a separate class, as Ramus and his followers did."--P.
+    59.
+
+This certainly seems unanswerable.
+
+If Dr. Latham is a reader of "N. & Q.," I should be glad if he would give
+his reasons for adhering to his original doctrine in the face of such facts
+as those I have instanced.

+
+THE CORONET [CROWN] OF LLEWELYN AP GRIFFITH, PRINCE OF WALES.
+
+A notice, transferred to _The Times_ of the 5th instant from a recent
+number of _The Builder_, on the shrine of Edward the Confessor, after
+mentioning that "to this shrine Edward I. offered the Scottish regalia and
+the coronation chair, which is still preserved," adds, "Alphonso, about
+1280, offered it the golden coronet of Llewelyn, Prince of Wales, and other
+jewels."
+
+Who was Alphonso? And would the contributor of the notice favour the
+readers of "N. & Q." with the authority _in extenso_ for the offering of
+this coronet?
+
+The period assigned for the offering is certainly too early; Llewelyn ap
+Griffith, "the last sovereign of one of the most ancient ruling families of
+Europe" (_Hist. of England_, by Sir James Mackintosh, vol. ii. p. 254.),
+having been slain at Builth, Dec. 11, 1282. Warrington (_Hist. of. Wales_,
+vol. ii. p. 271.), on the authority of Rymer's _Foedera_, vol. ii. p. 224.,
+says: "Upon stripping Llewelyn there were found his Privy Seal; a paper
+that was filled with dark expressions, and a list of names written in a
+kind of cypher;" omitting, it will be observed, any reference to Llewelyn's
+coronet. That monarch's crown was probably obtained and transmitted to
+Edward I. on the capture, June 21, 1283, or shortly after, of his brother
+David ap Griffith, Lord of Denbigh, who had assumed the Welsh throne on the
+demise of Llewelyn; the Princess Catherine, the daughter and heir of the
+latter, and _de jure_ sovereign Princess of Wales, being then an infant.
+Warrington states (vol. ii. p. 285.) that when David was taken, a relic,
+highly venerated by the Princes of Wales, was found upon him, called
+_Crosseneych_, supposed to be a part of the real cross brought by St. Neots
+into Wales from the Holy Land; and he adds that, besides the above relic,
+which was voluntarily delivered up to Edward by a secretary of the late
+Prince of Wales, "the crown of the celebrated King Arthur, with many
+precious jewels, was about this time presented to Edward," citing as his
+authorities _Annales Waverleienses_, p. 238.; Rymer's _Foedera_, vol. ii.
+p. 247.
+
+There are some particulars of these relics in the _Arch�ologia Cambrensis_;
+but neither that periodical, nor the authorities referred to by Warrington,
+are at the moment accessible to me.

+
+_Monumental Brass at Wanlip, Co. Leicester, and Sepulchral Inscriptions in

+knight and his lady, and round the margin the following inscription,
+divided at the corners of the slab by the Evangelistic symbols:
+
+    "Here lyes Thomas Walssh, Knyght, lorde of Anlep, and dame Kat'ine his

+_Derivation of "Mammet."_--The Rev. B. Chenevix Trench, in his book on the

+in his _Dictionary_, the folio edition, derives _mammet_ from the word
+_maman_, and also from the word _man_; and mentions Shakspeare's
+
+    "This is no world to play with _mammets_, or to tilt with
+    lips."--_Henry IV._ (First Part), Act II. Sc. 3.
+
+As both Dr. Johnson, the Rev. Ch. Trench, and many others, agree that

+_The Mousehunt._--I should feel much obliged to any reader of "N. & Q." who
+would refer me to any mention of in print, or give me any information from
+his own personal experience, respecting a small animal of the weasel tribe
+called the mousehunt, an animal apparently but little known; it is scarcely
+half the size of the common weasel, and of a pale mouse-colour. It is said
+to be well known in Suffolk, whence, however, after some trouble, I have
+been unsuccessful in obtaining a specimen; young stoats or weasels having
+been sent me instead of it. I could not find a specimen in the British
+Museum. Some years ago I saw two in Glamorganshire; one escaped me; the
+other had been killed by a ferret, but unfortunately I neglected to
+preserve it. Near the same spot last year a pair of them began making their
+nest, but being disturbed by some workmen employed in clearing out the
+drain in which they had ensconced themselves, were lost sight of and
+escaped.
+
+Mr. Colquhoun, in _The Moor and the Loch_, ed. 1851, says:
+
+    "The English peasantry assert that there are two kinds of weasel, one
+    very small, called a 'cane,' or 'the mousekiller.' This idea, I have no
+    doubt, is erroneous, and the 'mousekillers' are only the young ones of
+    the year, numbers of these half-grown weasels appearing in summer and
+    autumn."
+
+The only description I have met with in print is in _Bell's Life_ of Dec.
+7, 1851, where "Scrutator," in No. 15. of his Letters "On the Management of
+Horses, Hounds, &c.," writes:
+
+    "I know only of one species of stoat, but I have certainly seen more
+    than one species of weasel.... There is one species of weasel so small
+    that it can easily follow mice into their holes; and one of these, not
+    a month ago, I watched go into a mouse's hole in an open grass field.
+    Seeing something hopping along in the grass, which I took for a large
+    long-tailed field mouse, I stood still as it was approaching my
+    position, and when within a foot or two of the spot on which I was
+    standing, so that I could have a full view of the animal, a very small
+    weasel appeared, and quickly disappeared again in a tuft of grass. On
+    searching the spot I discovered a mousehole, in which Mr. Weasel had
+    made his exit."

+    as he had learnt that these ministers had been loyal, and had even
+    suffered on his account; and as that sum remained undisposed of in "the
+    settlement of the revenue of Ireland," he gave it in his charity to
+    them. This was the origin of the _Regum donum_. As the dissenters
+    approved themselves strong friends to the House of Brunswick, George

+ALEXANDER CLARK.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 18.)
+
+In communicating a few particulars about Alexander Clark, I must disappoint
+your correspondent PERTHENSIS; _my_ subject answering in no respect to
+Peter Buchan's "drucken dominie," the author of the _Buttery College_.
+Alexander Clark, who has fallen in my way, belongs to the class of "amiable
+enthusiasts;" a character I am somewhat fond of, believing that in any
+pursuit a dash of the latter quality is essential to success.
+
+Clark was by profession a gardener; and as my friends in the north always
+seek to localise their worthies, I venture to assign him to Annandale. My
+first acquaintance with him arose from his {518} _Emblematical
+Representation_ falling into my hands; and, pursuing my inquiries, I found
+this was but one of some half-dozen visionary works from the same pen. In
+his _View of the Glory of the Messiah's Kingdom_, we have the origin of his
+taking upon himself the prophetic character; it is entitled:
+
+    "A Brief Account of an Extraordinary Revelation, and other Things
+    Remarkable, in the Course of God's Dealings with Alexander Clark,
+    Gardener at Dumcrief, near Moffat, Anandale, in the Year 1749."
+
+    "In the month of August, 1749," says he, "at a certain time when the
+    Lord was pleased to chastise me greatly in a bed of affliction, and in
+    the midst of my great trial, it pleased the Almighty God wonderfully to
+    surprise me with a glorious light round about me; and looking up, I saw
+    straight before me a glorious building in the air, as bright and clear
+    as the sun: it was so vastly great, so amiable to behold, so full of
+    majesty and glory, that it filled my heart with wonder and admiration.
+    The place where this sight appeared to me was just over the city of
+    Edinburgh; at the same instant I heard, as it were, the musick bells of
+    the said city ring for joy."
+
+From this period, Clark's character became tinged with that enthusiasm
+which ended in his belief that he was inspired; and that in publishing
+his--
+
+    "Signs of the Times: showing by many infallible Testimonies and Proofs
+    out of the Holy Scripture, that an extraordinary Change is at Hand,
+    even at the very Door,"--
+
+he was merely "emitting what he derived directly, by special favour, from
+God!"
+
+    "The Spirit of God," he says on another occasion, "was so sensibly
+    poured out upon me, and to such a degree, that I was thereby made to
+    see things done in secret, and came to find things lost, and knew where
+    to go to find those things which were lost!"
+
+This _second sight_, if I may so call it, set our author upon drawing aside
+the veil from the prophetic writings; and his view of their mystical sense
+is diffused over the indigested and rambling works bearing the following
+titles:
+
+    "A View of the Glory of the Messiah's Kingdom." 1763.
+
+    "Remarks upon the Accomplishment of Scripture Prophecy."
+
+    "A Practical Treatise on Regeneration." 1764.
+
+    "The Mystery of God opened," &c. Edinburgh. 1768.
+
+    "An Emblematical Representation of the Paradise of God, showing the
+    Nature of Spiritual Industry in the Similitude of a Garden, well
+    ordered, dressed, and kept, with Sundry Reflections on the Nature of
+    Divine Knowledge, 1779."
+
+In his _Address to the Friendly Society of Gardeners_, Clark gives some
+account of his worldly condition; of his early training in religious
+habits; his laborious and industrious devotion to his profession, with
+which he seems to have been greatly enamoured, although poorly paid, and
+often in straits. Subsequently to the great event of his life--his
+vision--our subject appears to have come south, and to have been in the
+employment of Lord Charles Spencer at Hanworth in Middlesex. Like most of
+the prophets of his day, Clark was haunted with the belief that the last
+day was approaching; and considering himself called upon to announce to his
+acquaintance and neighbours that this "terrible judgment of God was at
+hand," he got but contempt and ridicule for his pains:--more than that,
+indeed, for those raising the cry that he was a madman, they procured the
+poor man's expulsion from his situation. Under all these discouraging
+circumstances, he maintained his firm conviction of the approaching end of
+time: so strongly was his mind bent in this direction, that "I opened the
+window of the house where I then was," says he, "thinking to see Christ
+coming in the clouds!"
+
+    "I was three days and three nights that I could not eat, drink, nor
+    sleep; and when I would close my eyes, I felt something always touching
+    me; at length I heard a voice sounding in mine ears, saying 'Sleep not,
+    lest thou sleep the sleep of death:' and at that I looked for my Bible,
+    and at the first opening of it I read these words, which were sent with
+    power, 'To him that overcometh,'" &c.
+
+Poor Clark, like his prototype Thomas Newans, laboured hard to obtain the
+sanction of the hierarchy to his predictions:
+
+    "I desire no man," he says, "to believe me without proof; and if the
+    Reverend the Clergy would think this worth their perusal, I would very
+    willingly hear what they had to say either for or against."
+
+The orthodoxy of the "Reverend the Clergy" was not, however, to be moved;
+and Alexander Clark and his books now but serve the end of pointing a
+moral. With more real humility and less presumption, there was much that
+was good about him; but letting his heated fancies get the better of the
+little judgment he possessed, our _amiable enthusiast_ became rather a
+stumbling-block than light to his generation.

+AMCOTTS PEDIGREE.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 387.)
+
+Although I may not be able to furnish your inquirer with full pedigree of
+this family, my Notes may prove useful in making it out.
+
+From a settlement after marriage in 1663, of Vincent Amcotts of Laughton,
+in the county of Lincoln, gentleman, I find his wife's name to be Amy; but
+who she was is not disclosed. It appears she survived her husband, and was
+his {519} widow and relict and executrix living in 1687. Their eldest
+daughter Elizabeth married John Sheffield, Esq., of Croxby, and I have
+noted three children of theirs, viz. Vincent, who died s.p.; Christopher,
+who, with Margaret, his wife, in 1676 sold the Croxby estate; and Sarah.
+What farther as to this branch does not appear, although my next Vincent
+Amcotts may be, and probably was, a descendant. This Vincent Amcotts was of
+Harrington, in the county of Lincoln, Esq.; and who, from his marriage
+settlement dated May 16 and 17, 1720, married Elizabeth, the third of the
+four daughters of John Quincy of Aslackby, in the county of Lincoln,
+gentleman: and I find the issue of this marriage to be Charles Amcotts of
+Kettlethorpe, in the county of Lincoln, Esq., who died in 1777 s.p.; Anna
+Maria, whom married Wharton Emerson; Elizabeth, who died previous to her
+brother Charles; and Frances, who married the Rev. Edward Buckworth of
+Washingborough, in the county of Lincoln, Clerk, Doctor of Laws.
+
+After the death of Charles Amcotts, we find Wharton Emerson at
+Kettlethorpe, having assumed the name of Amcotts: he was created a baronet
+in 1796, the title being limited in remainder to the eldest son of his
+daughter Elizabeth. Sir Wharton Amcotts married a second wife, Amelia
+Campbell, by whom he had a daughter, but what became of her does not
+appear. Elizabeth, the daughter and heir of Sir Wharton Amcotts by his
+first wife Anna Maria Amcotts, married in 1780 John Ingilby, Esq., of
+Ripley, who in the next year was created a baronet: and they appear to have
+had eleven children, viz. John Charles Amcotts, the present Sir William
+Amcotts Ingelby, in whom both titles are vested, Elizabeth, Augusta, Anna
+Maria, and Ann; which last three died in infancy; Diana, Vincent Bosville,
+who died at a year old, and Julia and Constance. Thus far my Notes extend.

+SIR RALPH WINWOOD.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 272.)
+
+I have an original letter of Sir Ralph Winwood's in French, addressed "A
+Monsieur Mons^r Charles Huyghens, Secr�taire du Conseil d'estat de
+Mess^{rs} les Estats � la Haye," which, as it may possibly be interesting
+to your correspondent H. P. W. R., I here transcribe:
+
+    "Mons^r.--Vos derni�res m'ont rendu tesmoignage de vostre bonn'
+    affection en mon endroict. Car je m'asseure que vous n'eussiez jamais
+    recommend� vostre filz � ma protection si mon nom n'eust est�
+    enregistr� au nombre de vos meilleurs et plus affectionn�s amys. Je
+    m'en vay, dans peu de jours, trouver Sa Ma^{t�} en son retour d'Escoce,
+    et j'espere sur la fin du moys de 7^{bre} de me rendre � ma maison �
+    Londres. Sur ce temps-l�, s'il vous plaira d'envoyer v^{re} filz vers
+    moy, il sera le bien venu. Son traittement rendra tesmoinage de
+    l'estime que je fais de vostre amiti�. De vous envoyer des nouvelles,
+    ce seroyt d'envoyer _Noctuas Athenas_. Tout est co� icy. La mort de
+    Concini a rendu la France heureuse. Mais l'Italie est en danger d'estre
+    expos�e � la tirannie d'Espagne. Je vous baise les mains, et suis,
+    Mons^r, vostre plus affectionn� servit^r,
+
+              RODOLPHE WINWOOD.
+     "De Londres, le 7^{me} de Juillet."
+
+The year is not indicated, but the allusion to the death of Concini (the
+celebrated Mar�chal d'Ancre, who was assassinated by order of Louis XIII.)
+proves that this letter was written in 1617, and very shortly before the
+death of the writer, which occurred on the 27th of October in that year.
+
+M. Charles Huyghens, to whom the letter is addressed, was probably the
+father of Constantine Huyghens, the Dutch poet-politician, who was
+secretary and privy counsellor to the Stadtholders Frederick Henry, and
+William I. and II., and who, not improbably, was the son here mentioned as
+recommended to the protection of Sir R. Winwood, and who, at that date,
+would have been twenty-one years of age.
+
+Constantine was himself the father of the still more celebrated Christian
+Huyghens, the astronomer and mathematician. The seal on the letter, which
+is in excellent preservation, is a shield bearing the following arms: 1.
+and 4. a cross botonn�, 2. and 3. three fleurs-de-lis.

+TRENCH ON PROVERBS.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 387.)
+
+I hope that neither Mr. Trench nor his critic E. M. B. will consider me
+interfering by my making an observation or two on the correct rendering of
+the latter part of Ps. cxxvii. 2. Mr. Trench is perfectly correct by
+supposing an ellipsis in the sentence alluded to, and the words
+
+  [Hebrew: YTN LYDYDW SHN']
+
+should have been translated, "He will give to his beloved whilst he [the
+beloved] is asleep." The translation of the authorised version of that
+sacred affirmation is unintelligible. Mr. Trench has the support of
+Luther's version, which has the sentence thus:
+
+ "Seinen Freunden giebt er es schlafend."
+
+The celebrated German Jewish translator of the Old Testament agrees with
+Mr. Trench. The following is Dr. Zunz's rendering:
+
+ "Das giebt er seinem Liebling im Schlaf."
+
+{520}
+
+The following is the Hebrew annotation in the far-famed Moses Mendelsohn's
+edition of the Book of Psalms:
+
+  [Hebrew: YTNHW HQB-H LYDYDW 'SHR HW' CHPTS BW B`WDNW YSHN WBLY MRCHH:]
+
+"The holy and blessed One will give it to his beloved, in whom He delights,
+whilst he is yet asleep and without fatigue."
+
+I need not adduce passages in the Hebrew Psalter, where such ellipsises do
+occur. E. M. B. evidently knows his Hebrew Bible well, and a legion of
+examples will immediately occur to him.
+
+MOSES MARGOLIOUTH.
+
+Wybunbury, Nantwich.
+
+If E. M. B. will refer to Hengstenberg's _Commentary on the Psalms_, he
+will find that Mr. Trench is not without authority for his translation of
+Ps. cxxvii. 2. I quote the passage from Thompson and Fairbairn's
+translation, in Clark's _Theological Library_, vol. iii. p. 449.:
+
+    "[Hebrew: SHN'] for [Hebrew: SHNH] is not the accusative, but the
+    preposition is omitted, as is frequently the case with words that are
+    in constant use. For example, [Hebrew: BQR, `RB], to which [Hebrew:
+    SHNH] here is poetically made like. The exposition _He gives sleep_,
+    instead of _in sleep_, gives an unsuitable meaning. For the subject is
+    not about the sleep, but the gain."

+ON PALINDROMES.
+
+(Vol vii., p. 178. &c.)
+
+Several of your correspondents have offered Notes upon these singular
+compositions, and AGRICOLA DE MONTE adduces
+
+ "[Greek: NIPSON ANOM�MATA, M� MONAN OPSIN]"
+
+as an example. As neither he nor MR. ELLACOMBE give it as found _out_ of
+this country, allow me to say that it was to be seen on a benitier in the
+church of Notre Dame at Paris. If it were not for the substitution of the
+adjective [Greek: MONAN] for the adverb [Greek: MONON], the line would be
+one of the best specimens of the recurrent order.
+
+I notice that a correspondent (Vol. vii., p. 336.) describes the Palindrome
+as being universally _sotadic_. Now, this term was only intended to apply
+to the early samples of this fanciful species of verse in Latin, the
+production Sotades, a Roman poet, 250 B.C. The lines given by BOEOTICUS
+(Vol. vi., p. 209.),
+
+ "Roma tibi subito motibus ibit amor?"
+
+owe their authorship to his degraded Muse, and many others which would but
+pollute your pages.
+
+The hexameter "Sacrum pingue," &c. given by [Omega]. [Phi]. (Vol. vi., p.
+36.), is to be found in Misson's _Voyage to Italy_, copied from an old
+cloister wall of Santa Maria Novella at Florence. These ingenious verses
+are Leoline[2], and it is noted that "the sacrifice of Cain was not a
+living victim."
+
+I have seen it stated that the English language affords but _one_ specimen
+of the palindrome, while the Latin and Greek have many. The late Dr. Winter
+Hamilton, the author of _Nug� Literari�_, gives this solitary line, which
+at the best is awkwardly fashioned:
+
+ "Lewd did I live & evil did I dwel."
+
+Is any other known?
+
+Some years since I fell in with that which, after all, is the most
+wonderful effort of the kind; at least I can conceive of nothing at all
+equal to it.
+
+It is to be found in a poem called [Greek: Poi�ma Karkinekon], written in
+ancient Greek by a modern Greek called Ambrosius, printed in Vienna in
+1802, and dedicated to the Emperor Alexander. It contains 455 lines, every
+one of which is literal palindrome.
+
+I have some hesitation in giving even a quotation; and yet, notwithstanding
+the forced character of some of the lines, your readers will not fail to
+admire the classic elegance of this remarkable composition.
+
+ "[Greek: Eu Elisabet, Alla t' ebasileue.]

+_The Claymore_ (Vol. viii., p. 365.).--I believe there is no doubt that the
+true Scottish claymore is the heavy two-handed sword, examples of which are
+preserved at Dumbarton Castle, and at {521} Hawthornden, and respectively
+attributed to William Wallace, and to Robert the Bruce. The latter is a
+very remarkable specimen, the grip being formed either of the tusk of a
+walrus or of a small elephant, considerably curved; and the guard is
+constructed of two iron bars, terminated by trefoils, and intersecting each
+other at right angles. The blade is very ponderous, and shorter than usual
+in weapons of this description.
+
+The claymore of modern times is a broadsword, double or single-edged, and
+provided with a basket hilt of form peculiar to Scotland, though the idea
+was probably derived from Spain. Swords with basket hilts were commonly
+used by the English cavalry in the reigns of Charles I. and II., but they
+are always of a different type from the Scotch, though affording as
+complete a protection to the hand. I possess some half-dozen examples, some
+from Gloucestershire, which are of the times of the civil wars. There are
+many swords said to have been the property of Oliver Cromwell; one is in
+the United Service Museum: all that I have seen are of this form.

+_Lewis and Sewell Families_ (Vol. viii., p. 388.).--Your correspondent may
+obtain, in respect to the Lewis family, much information in the _Life and
+Correspondence of Matthew Gregory Lewis_, two vols. 8vo., London, 1839,
+particularly at pp. 6. and 7. of vol. i. He will there find that Matthew
+Lewis, Esq., who was Deputy Secretary of War for twenty-six years, married
+Frances Sewell, youngest daughter of the Right Hon. Sir Thos. Sewell; that
+Lieut.-Gen. Whitelocke and Gen. Sir Thos. Brownrigg, G.C.B., married the
+other two daughters of Sir Thos. Sewell; and that Matthew Gregory Lewis,
+who wrote the _Castle Spectre_, &c., was son of Matthew Lewis, Esq., the
+Deputy Secretary of War.
+
+With regard to the Sewell family. The Right Hon. Sir Thos. Sewell, who was
+Master of the Rolls for twenty years, died in 1784; and there is, I
+believe, a very correct account of his family connexions in the
+_Gentleman's Magazine_ for 1784, p. 555. He died intestate, and his eldest
+son, Thos. Bailey Heath Sewell, succeeded to his estate of Ottershaw and
+the manors of Stannards and Fords in Chobham, Surrey. This gentleman was a
+magistrate for the county of Surrey; and in the spring of 1794, when this
+country was threatened by both foreign and domestic enemies, he became
+Lieut.-Col. of a regiment of Light Dragoons (fencibles), raised in Surrey
+(at Richmond) by George Lord Onslow, Lord-Lieut. of the county, in which he
+served six years, till the Government not requiring their services they
+were disbanded. Lieut.-Col. Sewell died in 1803, and was buried in the
+church at Chobham, where there is a monument to his memory. Of his family
+we have not farther knowledge than that he had a son, Thos. Bermingham
+Heath Sewell, who was a cornet in the 32nd Light Dragoons, and lieutenant
+in the 4th Dragoon Guards during the war of the French Revolution. The
+_History and Antiquities of Surrey_, by the Rev. Owen Manning and Wm. Bray,
+in three vols. folio, 1804, has in the third volume much concerning the

+_Pharaoh's Ring_ (Vol. viii., p. 416.).--The mention of the ring conferred
+on, or confided to, Joseph by the Pharaoh of Egypt, as stated in Genesis
+xli. 42., reminds me of a ring being shown to me some years ago, which was
+believed by its then possessor to be the identical ring, or at all events a
+signet ring of the very Pharaoh who promoted Joseph to the chief office in
+his kingdom.
+
+It was a ring of pure gold, running through a hole in a massive wedge of
+gold, about the size, as far as I recollect, of a moderate-sized walnut. On
+one of its faces was cut the hieroglyphic (inclosed as usual with the names
+of Egyptian kings in an oval), as I was assured, of the king, the friend of
+Joseph, as was generally supposed by the readers of hieroglyphics: I
+pretend to no knowledge of them myself.
+
+The possessor of the ring, who showed it to me, was Mr. Sams, one of the
+Society of Friends, a bookseller at Darlington. Since railroads have {522}
+whirled me past that town, I have lost my means of periodical communication
+with him. He had, not long before I saw him last, returned from the Holy
+Land, where he assured me he had visited every spot that could be
+identified mentioned in the New Testament. He had also been some time in
+Egypt, and had brought home a great quantity of Egyptian antiquities. The
+lesser ones he had in the first floor of a carver and gilder's in Great
+Queen Street, between the Freemason's Tavern and Lincoln's Inn Fields. He
+was then anxious that these should be bought for the British Museum, and I
+think that at his request I wrote to the Earl of Aberdeen to mention this,
+and that the answer was that there was already so large a collection in the
+Museum, that more, as they must most of them be duplicates, would be of no
+use.
+
+What has become of them I know not. I was told that a number of his larger
+antiquities, stone and marble, were for some time placed on Waterloo
+Bridge, that being a very quiet place, where people might view them without
+interruption. I did not happen to be in London that season, and therefore
+did not see them.

+    with a very valuable collection of medi�val antiquities, in the
+    Egyptian Museum, 8. Colquitt Street, Liverpool. The small charge of
+    sixpence for each visit opens the entire collection to the public; but
+    it is a lamentable fact, that the curiosity or patriotism of the

+had so frequently heard that I could scarcely doubt the truth of it; this I
+intended to be deduced, when I said I did not recollect that the local
+histories gave any derivation, and that it was the one "generally received
+by the inhabitants."
+
+To any mind the solution brought forward by MR. BUCKTON (Vol. viii., p.
+303.) carries the greatest amount of probability with it of any yet
+proposed; and should any of your correspondents have the opportunity of
+looking through the unpublished history of Hull by the Rev. De la Pryme,
+"collected out of all the records, charters, deeds, mayors' letters, &c. of
+the said town," and now placed amongst the Lansdowne MSS. in the British
+Museum, I am inclined to think it is very likely it would be substantiated.
+
+In Mr. Frost's valuable work on the town, which by the way proves it to
+have been "a place of opulence and note at a period long anterior to the
+date assigned to its existence by historians," he differs materially from
+MR. RICHARDSON, in considering that Hollar's plate was "engraved about the
+year 1630," not in 1640 as he states. There is also another which appeared
+between the time of Hollar and Gent, in Meisner's _Libellus novus politicus
+emblematicus Civitatum_, published in 1638, which though not "remarkable
+for accuracy of design," is well worthy of notice. It bears the title "Hull
+in Engellandt," and also the following curious inscriptions, which I copy
+for the interest of your readers:
+
+    "Carcer nonnunquam firmum propugnaculum. Noctua clausa manet in carcere
+    firmo; Insidias volucrum vetat enim cavea."
+
+     "Wann die Eull eingesperret ist,
+      Schadet ihr nicht der Feinde list,
+      Der Kefig ist ihr nicht unn�tz,
+      Sondern gibt wieder ihr Feind sch�tz."
+
+These lines refer to a curious engraving on the left side of the plan,
+representing an owl imprisoned in a cage with a quantity of birds about,
+endeavouring to assail it.

+_"I put a spoke in his wheel"_ (Vol. viii., p. 351.).--Does not this phrase
+mean simply interference, either for good or evil? I fancy the metaphor is
+really derived from putting the bars, or spokes, into a capstan or some
+such machine. A number {523} of persons being employed, another puts his
+spoke in, and assists or hinders them as he pleases. Can a _stick_ be
+considered a _spoke_ before it is put into its place, in the nave of the
+wheel at least? We often hear the observation, "Then I put in my spoke,"
+&c. in the relation of an animated discussion. May I venture to suggest a
+pun on the preterite of the verb _to speak_?

+_Passage in Virgil_ (Vol. viii., p. 270.).--On this part of Johnson's

+    allusion."
+
+The allusion is to Eclogue viii. 43.:
+
+ "Nunc scio, quid sit Amor: duris in cotibus illum
+  Aut Tmarus, aut Rhodope, aut extremi Garamantes,
+  Nec generis nostri puerum nec sanguinis, edunt."
+
+As the shepherd in Virgil had found Love to be not the gentle being he
+expected, but of a savage race--"a native of the rocks"--so had Johnson
+found a patron to be "one who looked with unconcern on a man struggling for
+life," instead of a friend to render assistance.
+
+Supposing Johnson's estimate of Lord Chesterfield's conduct to be correct,
+I cannot help thinking the allusion to be eminently happy.

+_Ireland a bastinadoed Elephant_ (Vol. viii., p. 366.).--I venture to
+suggest whether this expression may not be something more than a bull, as
+[Old English W]. inclines to call it. If any one will look at a physical
+map of Ireland at some little distance, a very slight exercise of the
+"mind's eye" will serve to call up in the figure of that island the shape
+of a creature kneeling and in pain. Lough Foyle forms the eye; the coast
+from Bengore Head to Benmore Head the nose or snout; Belfast Lough the
+mouth; the coast below Donaghdee the chin; County Wexford the knees. The
+rest of the outline, according to the imagination of the observer, may
+assume that of an elephant, or something, perhaps, "very like a whale."
+Some fanciful observation of this kind may have suggested the otherwise
+unaccountable simile to Curran.

+_Ennui_ (Vol. vii., p. 478.; Vol. viii., p. 377.).--The meaning of this

+equivalent to the Greek [Greek: agrupnia], and signifies the sense of
+weariness with doing nothing. It gives the lie to the _dolce far niente_:
+vide Ps. cxxx. 6., and Job vii. 3, 4. _Ennui_ is closely allied to our
+_annoy_ or _annoyance_, through _noceo_, _noxa_, and their probable root
+_nox_, [Greek: nux.] It is precisely equivalent to the Latin _t�dium_,
+which may be derived from _t�da_, which in the plural means a torch, and
+through that word may have a side reference to night, the _t�darum hor�_:
+cf. Ps. xci. 5. The subject is worthy of strict inquiry on the part of
+comparative philologists.

+
+This is not the fact. The Bell Savage on Ludgate Hill was originally kept

+_Encore_ (Vol. viii., p. 387.).--If A. A. knows the meaning of "this French
+word" I am a little surprised at his Query. Perhaps he means to ask why a
+French word should be used? It probably was first used at concerts and
+operas (_ancora_ in Italian), where the performers and even the
+performances were foreign, and so became the fashion. Pope says:
+
+ "To the same notes thy sons shall hum or snore,
+  And all thy yawning daughters cry _encore_."
+
+It was not, I think, in use so early as Shakspeare's time, who makes Bottom
+anticipate that "the Duke shall say, Let him roar _again_, let him roar
+_again_," where the jingle of "encore" would have been obvious. It is
+somewhat curious that where we use the French word _encore_, the French
+audiences use the Latin word "bis."

+
+_"Hauling over the Coals"_ (Vol. viii., p. 125.).--This saying I conceive
+to have arisen from the custom prevalent in olden times, when every Baron
+was supreme in his own castle, of extracting money from the unfortunate
+Jews who happened to fall into his power, by means of torture. The most
+usual _modus operandi_ seems to have been roasting the victims over a slow
+fire. Every one remembers the treatment of Isaac of York by Front-de-Boeuf,
+so vividly described in Sir Walter Scott's _Ivanhoe_. Although the practice
+has long been numbered amongst the things that were, the fact of its having
+once obtained is handed down to posterity in this saying, as when any one
+is taken to task for his shortcomings he is _hauled over the coals_.

+
+_The Words "Cash" and "Mob"_ (Vol. viii., p. 386.).--MR. FOX was right:
+_mob_ is not genuine English--teste Dean Swift! A lady who was well known
+to Swift used to say that the greatest scrape she ever got into with him
+was by using the word _mob_. "Why do you say that?" he exclaimed in a
+passion; "never let me hear you say that again!" "Why, sir," she asked,
+"what am I to say?" "The rabble, to be sure," answered he. (Sir W. Scott's
+_Works of Swift_, vol. ix.) The word appears to have been introduced about
+the commencement of the eighteenth century, by a process to which we owe
+many other and similar barbarisms--"beauties introduced to supply the want
+of wit, sense, humour, and learning." In a paper of _The Tatler_, No. 230.,
+much in the spirit, and possibly from the pen, of Swift, complaint is made
+of the "abbreviations and elisions" which had recently been introduced, and
+a humorous example of them is given. By these, the author adds,
+
+    "Consonants of most obdurate sound are joined together without one
+    softening vowel to intervene; and all this only to make one syllable of
+    two, directly contrary to the example of the Greeks and Romans, and a
+    natural tendency towards relapsing into barbarity. And this is still
+    more visible in the next refinement, which consists in pronouncing the
+    first syllable in a word that has many, and dismissing the rest. Thus
+    we cram one syllable and cut off the rest, as the owl fattened her mice
+    after she had bit off their legs to prevent their running away; and if
+    ours be the same reason for maiming our words, it will certainly answer
+    the end, for I am sure no other nation will desire to borrow them."
+
+I have only to add (see _Blackwood's Magazine_, vol. ii., 1842) that "mob
+is _mobile_."
+
+_Cash_ appears to be from the French _caisse_, a chest, cash.
+

+
+_Cash_ is from the French _caisse_, the moneychest where _specie_ was kept.
+So _caissier_ became "cashier," and _specie_ "cash."
+
+_Mob_, Swift tells us (_Polite Conversation_, Introd.), is a contraction
+for _mobile_.

+_Ampers &._ (Vol. ii., pp. 230. 284.; Vol. viii. _passim_).--MR. INGLEBY
+may well ask what "and-per-se-and" can mean. The fact is, this is itself a
+corruption. In old spelling-books, after the twenty-six letters it was
+customary to print the two following symbols with their explanations
+
+  &c. et cetera.
+  & (per se), and.
+
+Children were taught to read the above "et-cee, et cetera" and "et-per-se,
+and." Such, at least, was the case in a Dublin school, some ninety years
+ago, where my informant, now many years deceased, was educated. As _se_ was
+not there pronounced like _cee_, but like _say_, there was no danger of
+confounding the two names. In England, where a different pronunciation of
+the Latin word prevailed, such confusion would be apt to occur; and hence,
+probably, English teachers substituted _and_ for _et_; from which, in
+course of time, the other corruptions mentioned by MR. LOWER were
+developed.

+_The Keate Family, of the Hoo, Herts_ (Vol. viii., p. 293.).--The following

+
+    "William Keate of Hagbourne, in Berkshire, left five sons. The second
+    son, Ralph Keate of Whaddon, in Wiltshire, married Anne, daughter of
+    John Clarke, Esq., of Ardington, in Berkshire, and had with other issue
+    Gilbert Keate, Esq., of London, who married, first, John, daughter of
+    Niclolas Turbervile, Esq. of Crediton, in Devon, and, secondly,
+    Elizabeth, daughter of William Armstrong, Esq., of Remston, Notts, and
+    by her had another son, Jonathan Keate, Esq., of the Hoo, in the county
+    of Hertford, which estate he acquired with his first wife, Susannah
+    daughter of William, and sister and heir of Thomas Hoo, of the Hoo and
+    Kimpton, both in Hertfordshire. Mr. Keate was created a baronet by King
+    Charles II., 12th June, 1660. Sir Jonathan was sheriff of the county of
+    Hertford, 17 Charles II., and knight of the same shire in Parliament,
+    in the thirtieth of the same reign. By his first wife he had issue,
+    Gilbert Hoo, his heir, Jonathan, Susan, Elizabeth: all died _sine
+    prole_. He married, secondly, Susanna, daughter of John Orlebar,
+    citizen of London, but by her had no issue. He died 17th September,
+    1700. The baronetcy became extinct in the person of Sir William Keate,
+    D.D., who died 6th March, 1757."

+_Marriage of Cousins_ (Vol. viii., p. 387.).--If there is any foundation

+once removed than of second cousins. It will be seen that the latter
+relationship belongs to the same generation, but it is not so with the

+niece.

+
+There is no legal foundation for the statement that marriage with a second
+cousin is valid, and with a first cousin invalid. The following quotation
+from Burn's _Ecc. Law_ by Phill., vol. ii. p. 449., will probably be
+considered to explain the matter:
+
+    "By the civil law first cousins are allowed to marry, but by the canon
+    law both first and second cousins (in order to make dispensations more
+    frequent and necessary) are prohibited; therefore, when it is vulgarly
+    said that first cousins may marry, but second cousins cannot, probably
+    this arose by confounding these two laws, for first cousins may marry
+    by the civil law, and second cousins cannot by the canon law."

+    "The two principal qualifications (says he) of a fanatic preacher are,
+    his inward light, and his head full of _maggots_; and the two different

+
+The word _maggot_ is sometimes used for the whim or crotchet itself; thus

+
+ "To reconcile our late dissenters,
+  Our brethren though by different venters;
+  Unite them and their different _maggots_,
+  As long and short sticks are in faggots."--_Hudibras_, part III. canto 2.

+
+_"Salus populi," &c._ (Vol. viii., p. 410.).--The saying "Salus populi

+magistrates, to regard the safety of the state as their highest rule of
+conduct:
+
+    "Regio imperio duo sunto; iique pr�eundo, judicando, consulendo
+    Pr�tores, Judices, Consules appellantor. Militi� summum jus habento,
+    nemini parento: _ollis salus populi suprema lex esto_."
+
+The allusion appears to be to the formula used by the senate for conferring
+supreme power on the consuls in cases of emergency: "Dare operam, ne quid
+respublica detrimenti caperet." (See Sallust, _Bell. Cat._ c. 29.)
+

+_Buckle_ (Vol. viii., p. 304.).--This word is in common use by the artizans
+who work upon sheet-iron, to denote the curl which a sheet of iron acquires
+in passing through a pair of rollers. The word has been derived from the
+French _boucle_, a curl. The shoe-buckle has got its name from its curved
+form. In the days in which every man in this country, who was in easy
+circumstances, wore a wig, it was well known that to put a wig in _buckle_,
+meant to arrange its curls in due form.

+From the captain, after a time, the term descended to all the little

+spelled _sansgris_, being derived from the French words _sans_, without,
+and _gris_, tipsy, meaning a beverage that would not make tipsy. I have
+been a good deal in the French island of Martinique, and they use the term
+frequently in this sense as applied to a beverage made of white wine ("Vin
+de Grave"), syrup, water, and nutmeg with a small piece of fresh lime-skin
+hanging over the edge of the glass. A native of Martinique gave me this as
+the derivation of the word. The beverage ought not to be stirred after the
+nutmeg is put in it, as the fastidious say it would spoil the flavour.
+
+T. B.
+
+_Point of Etiquette_ (Vol. viii., p. 386.).--The title _Miss_, without the
+Christian name, belongs to the eldest unmarried daughter of the
+representative of the family only. If he have lost his own children, his
+brother is _heir presumptive_ merely to the family honours; and can neither
+assume nor give to his daughter the titles to which they are only
+expectants. The matter becomes evident, if you test the rule by a peerage
+instead of a squirage. Even the eldest daughter of a baronet or landed
+gentleman loses her title of Miss, when her brother succeeds to the
+representation, provided he have a daughter to claim the title.
+
+P. P.
+
+_Etymology of "Monk" and "Till," &c._ (Vol. viii., pp. 291. 409.).--Will
+you allow me one word on these two cases? _Monk_ is manifestly a Greek
+formative from [Greek: monos], and denotes a _solitaire_.
+
+The proposed derivation of _till_, from _to-while_, is not new; but still
+clearly mistaken, inasmuch as the word _till_ is found in Scotch, Swedish,
+Norwegian, Danish, and others of the family. A word thus compounded would
+be of less general use. Besides which, _to-while_ would scarcely produce
+such a form as _till_; it would rather change the _t_ into an aspirate,
+which would appear as _th_.
+
+B. H. C.
+
+_Forrell_ (Vol. vii., p. 630.).--Your correspondent T. HUGHES derives this
+word (applied in Devonshire, as he tells us, to the cover of book) from
+_forrell_, "a term still used by the trade to signify an inferior kind of
+vellum." Is it not more natural to suppose it to be the same word which the
+French have made _fourreau_, a cover or sheath? (See Du Cange, vv.
+_Forellus, Forrellus_.)

+neglected and in very bad condition.

+NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.
+
+Dr. Lardner has just published the third and concluding course of his
+_Handbook of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy_. The subjects treated of in
+the present volume are _Meteorology and Astronomy_, and they are
+illustrated with thirty-seven lithographic plates, and upwards of two
+hundred engravings on wood. The work was undertaken with the very popular
+object of supplying the means of acquiring a competent knowledge of the
+methods and results of the physical sciences, without any unusual
+acquaintance with mathematics; and in the methods of demonstration and
+illustration of this series of treatises, that principle has as far as
+possible, been adopted so that by means of the present volumes, persons who
+have not even a superficial knowledge of geometry and algebra may yet
+acquire with great facility a considerable acquaintance with the sciences
+of which they treat. The present volume contains a very elaborate index,
+which, {528} combined with the analytical tables of contents, give to the
+entire series all the usefulness of a compendious encyclop�dia of natural
+philosophy and astronomy.
+
+_Willich's Income Tax Tables, Fourth Edition, 1853-1860_, price _One
+Florin_, show at one view the amount of duty at the various rates fixed by
+the late act, and are accompanied by a variety of statistical information,
+tending to show that the wealth of the nation has increased in as great, if
+not a greater, ratio, than the population. The price at which the work is
+issued serves to lead our attention to a little pamphlet, published at
+sixpence, or 25 _mils_, by Mr. Robert Mears, entitled _Decimal Coinage
+Tables for simplifying and facilitating the Introduction of the proposed
+new Coinage_.
+
+_The Ecclesiastical History of England and Normandy by Ordericus Vitalis,
+translated with Notes, and the Introduction of Guizot_, by Thomas
+Forrester, M.A. Vol. I., is a new volume of the interesting Series of
+Translations of the early _Church Historians of England_ publishing by Mr.
+Bohn, to which we propose calling the especial attention of our readers at
+some future period. The importance which our French neighbours attach to
+the writings of Ordericus Vitalis is shown by the fact that the French
+Historical Society, after publishing a translation, are now issuing an
+edition of the original text, from a laborious collation of the best MSS.,
+under the editorship of M. Auguste le Prevost. The present translation is
+based upon that edition.
+
+We have on several occasions called the attention of our readers to the
+Collection of Proclamations in the possession of the Society of
+Antiquaries, and to the endeavours making by that learned body to secure as
+complete a series as possible of these valuable but hitherto little used
+materials for English History. Some contributions towards this object have,
+we believe, been the results of our notices; and we have now to state, that
+at the opening meeting on Thursday the 17th, it was announced that William
+Salt, Esq., F.S.A., had presented to the library two volumes of
+Proclamations of the reigns of Elizabeth and James I. Great as is the
+pecuniary value of this munificent donation, it is far exceeded by its
+importance in filling up a large gap in the existing Series. A _Catalogue
+Raisonn�e_ of the whole collection is in preparation by Robert Lemon, Esq.,
+of the State Paper Office, a gentleman well qualified for the task, and its
+early publication may, we trust, be received as an evidence of the
+beneficial influence which the Society of Antiquaries is hereafter destined
+to exercise on the historical literature of England.

+BOHN'S BRITISH CLASSICS.--Under the above Title is this Day commenced a New
+Series (which has long been in preparation), uniform in Size and Price with
+the Standard Library. It will comprise full and complete Editions of the
+great Authors of our Literature, including especially those which at
+present exist only in scarce or expensive Editions. Among the early Volumes
+will be GIBBON'S DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, with VARIORUM NOTES,
+comprising not only all those given in the Original Quarto Edition, but
+also the Notes of Guizot, Wenck, and other Foreign Editors, as well as
+whatever has been derived from the later Researches of Niebuhr, Layard, &c.
+A Portrait of the Author and Plates, whenever essential as Illustrations,
+will be added, on the same plan as the recent Edition of SOUTHEY'S COWPER
+published in the STANDARD LIBRARY.
+
+Although it is deemed expedient to enter on a New Series under the Title of
+BRITISH CLASSICS, to enable the Publisher, without farther delay, to
+fructify a long cherished scheme, the Standard, Scientific, Antiquarian,
+Illustrated, Classical, Philological, and Ecclesiastical Libraries will be
+continued with undiminished attention.

+
+    "Bonn, July 19. 1852.
+
+    "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.

+
+On Thursday, the 5th of January, 1854, will be published, price Twopence,
+the First of a Series of Works, entitled ORR'S CIRCLE OF THE SCIENCES;
+consisting of Short Treatises on the Fundamental Principles and
+Characteristic Features of Scientific and Practical Pursuits. With Numerous
+Illustrative Engravings on Wood.
+
+MESSRS. W. S. ORR & CO. have to announce the Early Publication, in Weekly
+Numbers, of a Series of Short Treatises, which will include every useful
+and attractive section of human acquirement, whether scientific, practical,
+or descriptive; and which will be issued at a price so moderate as to place
+them within the reach of every member of the community.
+
+Although every subject will be treated in a philosophic spirit, yet it will
+not be forgotten that the work is designed for popular use; and therefore
+the Editor and the various Contributors will endeavour to clothe the whole
+Series, and the Scientific Treatises especially, in simple language, so as
+to render them easy introductions to practical studies.
+
+To carry the design into effect, assistance has been obtained from eminent
+scientific men: and the Editor has the satisfaction of announcing among the
+Contributors to the first year's volumes the names of Professor Owen, of
+the Royal College of Surgeons; Sir William Jardine, Bart.; Professors
+Ansted and Tennant, of King's College; the Rev. Walter Mitchell, of St.
+Bartholomew's Hospital; and Professor Young, Examiner in Mathematics at the
+University of London. Every confidence, therefore, may be placed in the
+publication, as regards its soundness of principle, its extent of
+information, and its accordance with the results of the latest researches
+and discoveries.
+
+During the first year either three or four volumes will be completed. The
+respective subjects will not be issued in consecutive weeks; but the paging
+of each series will be continuous:--so that the whole, when collected at
+the end of the year, will form separate Volumes, with Title-pages,
+Prefaces, Tables of Contents, Indices--each Volume being a distinct work on
+Natural Philosophy, on the Two Great Divisions of Natural History, and on
+the Mathematical Sciences.
+
+The "Circle of the Sciences" will thus, by the aid of copious Analytical
+Indices, combine all the advantages of an Encyclop�dia, as a work of
+reference, without the irksome repetition which alphabetical arrangements
+necessarily involve.

+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+On the 1st of December an Introductory Treatise,
+
+    "On the NATURE, CONNECTION, and USES of the GREAT DEPARTMENTS of HUMAN
+    KNOWLEDGE."
+
+Will be issued; but the Publication of the Work itself will not commence
+until January, 1854.
+
+"Orr's Circle of Sciences" can be supplied by every Bookseller in the
+Kingdom; of whom a detailed Prospectus, containing Specimen Page and List

+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.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+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.

+<h2>Notes.</h2>
+
+<h3>THE STATE PRISON IN THE TOWER.</h3>
+
+  <p>A paragraph has lately gone the round of the newspapers, in which,
+  after mentioning the alterations recently made in the Beauchamp Tower and
+  the opening of its "written walls" to public inspection, it is stated
+  that this Tower was formerly the place of confinement for state
+  prisoners, and that "Sir William Wallace and Queen Anne Boleyn" were
+  amongst its inmates.</p>
+
+  <p>Now, I believe there is no historical authority for saying that "the
+  Scottish hero" was ever confined in the Tower of London; and it seems
+  certain that the unfortunate queen was a prisoner in the royal
+  apartments, which were in a different part of the fortress. But so many
+  illustrious persons are known to have been confined in the Beauchamp
+  Tower, and its walls preserve so many curious inscriptions&mdash;the
+  undoubted autographs of many of its unfortunate tenants&mdash;that it
+  must always possess great interest.</p>
+
+  <p>Speaking from memory, I cannot say whether the building known as the
+  Beauchamp (or Wakefield) Tower was even in existence in the time of
+  Edward I.; but my impression is, that its architecture is not of so early
+  a time. It is, I believe, supposed to derive its name from the
+  confinement in it of Thomas de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, in 1397. Of
+  course it was not the only place of durance of state prisoners, but it
+  was the prison of most of the victims of Tudor cruelty who were confined
+  in the Tower of London; and the walls of the principal chamber which is
+  on the first storey, and was, until lately, used as a mess-room for the
+  officers, are covered in some parts with those curious inscriptions by
+  prisoners which were first described in a paper read before the Society
+  of Antiquaries in 1796, by the Rev. J. Brand, and published in the
+  thirteenth volume of <i>The Arch�ologia</i>.</p>
+
+  <p>Mr. P. Cunningham, in his excellent <i>Handbook</i>, says:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"William Wallace was lodged as a prisoner on his first arrival in
+  London in the house of William de Leyre, a citizen, in the parish of All
+  Hallows Staining, at the end of Fenchurch Street."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+<p><!-- Page 510 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="page510"></a>{510}</span></p>
+
+  <p>Mr. Cunningham, in his notice of the Tower, mentions Wallace first
+  among the eminent persons who have been confined there. The popular
+  accounts of the Tower do the like. It was about the Feast of the
+  Assumption (Aug. 15) that Wallace was taken and conducted to London; and
+  it seems clear that he was forthwith imprisoned in the citizen's
+  house:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"He was lodged," says Stow, "in the house of William Delect, a citizen
+  of London, in Fenchurch Street. On the morrow, being the eve of St.
+  Bartholomew (23rd Aug.), he was brought on horseback to Westminster ...
+  the mayor, sheriffs, and aldermen of London accompanying him; and in the
+  Great Hall at Westminster ... being impeached," &amp;c.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>The authorities cited are, Adam Merimuth and Thomas de La More. His
+  arraignment and condemnation on the Vigil of St. Bartholomew are also
+  mentioned by Matthew Westminster, p. 451. Neither these historians, or
+  Stow or Holinshed, afford any farther information. The latter chronicler
+  says that Wallace was "condemned, and thereupon hanged" (<i>Chron.</i>,
+  fol., 1586, vol. ii. p. 313.). He was executed at Smithfield; and it is
+  not improbable that, if, after his condemnation, he was taken to any
+  place of safe custody, he was lodged in Newgate. The following entry of
+  the expenses of the sheriffs attending his execution is on the
+  Chancellor's Roll of 33 Edw. I. in the British Museum:</p>

+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>The day of the trial, August 23, is generally given the date of his
+  execution. It therefore appears that the formidable Scot never was a
+  prisoner in the Tower.</p>
+
+  <p>The unfortunate Queen Anne Boleyn occupied the royal apartments while
+  she was a prisoner in the Tower. From Speed's narrative, it appears that
+  she continued to occupy them after she was condemned to death. On May 15
+  (1536) she was (says Stow)</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Arraigned in the Tower on a scaffold made for the purpose in the
+  King's Hall; and after her condemnation, she was conveyed to ward again,
+  the Lady Kingston, and the Lady Boloigne her aunt, attending on her."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>On May 19, the unfortunate queen was led forth to "the green by the
+  White Tower" and beheaded.</p>
+
+  <p>In the record of her trial before the Duke of Norfolk, Lord High
+  Steward (see <i>Report of Deputy Keeper of Public Records</i>), she is
+  ordered to be taken back to "the king's prison within the Tower;" but
+  these are words of form. The oral tradition cannot in this case be relied
+  upon, for it pointed out the Martin Tower as the place of her
+  imprisonment because, as I believe, her name was found rudely inscribed
+  upon the wall. The Beauchamp Tower seems to have been named only because
+  it was the ordinary state prison at the time. The narrative quoted by
+  Speed shows, however, that the place of her imprisonment was the queen's
+  lodging, where the fading honours of royalty still surrounded Anne
+  Boleyn.</p>

+<h3>INEDITED LETTER FROM HENRY VIII. OF ENGLAND
+TO JAMES V. OF SCOTLAND.</h3>
+
+  <p>I lately transcribed several very interesting original manuscripts,
+  chiefly of the seventeenth century, but some of an earlier date, and now
+  send you a literal specimen of one evidently belonging to the sixteenth
+  century; although, notwithstanding the day of the month is given, the
+  year is not. If you think it worthy of a place in your very excellent
+  publication, you are quite at liberty to make use of it, and I shall be
+  happy to send you some of the others, if you choose to accept them. They
+  chiefly relate to the period when the Duke of Lauderdale was commissioner
+  for Scotch affairs at the English Court; and one appears to be a letter
+  addressed by the members of the Scottish College at Paris to James I. on
+  the death of his mother.</p>

+  been at a great loss? (<i>Mr. Panizzi.</i>) I do not believe that it is
+  often the case that persons are at a loss for want of such a guide, but
+  <i>it might be done</i>," etc.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>Now, the suggestion of a <i>short printed guide to the
+  reading-room</i> was evidently considered as of some importance. The
+  principle of <span class="scac">SUUM CUIQUE</span> is also of some
+  importance. We observe that lord Seymour the examiner ascribes the
+  suggestion to <i>some witnesses</i>&mdash;but lord Seymour the reporter
+  claims the credit of it for himself! It is the after-thought of his
+  lordship of which I have to complain.</p>
+
+  <p>If we turn to the evidence, it will appear that Mr. Peter Cunningham
+  suggested a printed "catalogue of the books in the reading-room," Q.
+  4800.&mdash;I must now speak of myself. When summoned before the
+  commissioners as a witness, I took with me the printed <i>Directions
+  respecting the reading-room</i> for the express purpose of pointing out
+  their inconsistency and insufficiency, and of advocating the preparation
+  of a guide-book.</p>
+
+  <p>I cannot repeat my arguments. It would occupy too much space. I can
+  only refer to the questions 6106-6116. The substance is this:&mdash;I
+  contended that every person admitted to the reading-room should be
+  furnished with instructions <i>how to proceed</i>&mdash;instructions as
+  to the <i>catalogues which he should consult</i>&mdash;and instructions
+  for <i>asking for the books</i>. On that evidence rests my claim to the
+  credit of having suggested a <i>Guide to the reading-room</i>. Its
+  validity shall be left to the decision of those who venerate the motto of
+  Tom Hearne&mdash;<span class="sc">Suum cuique</span>.</p>
+
+  <p>The trustees of the British Museum seem to have paid no attention to
+  the recommendation of the royal commissioners. They issue the same
+  <i>Directions</i> as before. <i>After</i> you have obtained admission to
+  the reading-room, you are furnished with instructions as to the mode of
+  obtaining it!&mdash;but you have no guide to the numerous catalogues.</p>
+
+  <p>What Mr. Antonio Panizzi, the keeper of the department of printed
+  books, says <i>might be done</i>, Mr. Richard Sims, of the department of
+  manuscripts, says <i>shall be done</i>. His <i>Handbook to the library of
+  the British Museum</i> is a very comprehensive and instructive volume. It
+  is a triumphant refutation of the opinions of those who, to the vast
+  injury of literature, and serious inconvenience of men of letters, slight
+  common sense and real utility in favour of visionary schemes and pedantic
+  elaboration.</p>
+
+  <p>There is no want of precedents for a work of this class, either abroad
+  or at home. As to the public library at Paris&mdash;I observe, in my own
+  small collection, an <i>Essai historique sur la biblioth�que du roi</i>,
+  par M. le Prince; a <i>Histoire du cabinet des m�dailles</i>, par M.
+  Marion du Mersan; a <i>Notice des estampes</i>, par M. Duchesne,
+  &amp;c.</p>
+
+  <p>For a precedent at home, I shall refer to the <i>Synopsis of the
+  contents of the British Museum</i>. The <i>first</i> edition of that
+  interesting work, with the <!-- Page 512 --><span class="pagenum"><a
+  name="page512"></a>{512}</span>valued autograph of <i>G. Shaw</i>, is now
+  before me. It is dated in 1808. I have also the <i>sixtieth</i> edition,
+  printed in this year. I cannot expect to see a sixtieth edition of the
+  <i>Handbook</i>, but it deserves to be placed by the side of the
+  <i>Synopsis</i>, and I venture to predict for it a wide circulation.</p>

+  <p>The opinion that a swarm of bees settling on a dead tree forebodes a

+
+  <p>In that county also there is an opinion that a dog howling before a

+  remember an instance where, as I heard at the time, a dog continued
+  howling in a street in front of a house in which a lady was dying.</p>
+
+  <p>It is also a prevalent notion that if the sun shines through the
+  apple-trees on Christmas Day, there will be an abundant crop the
+  following year.</p>
+
+  <p>I never heard the croaking of a raven or carrion crow mentioned as an
+  indication of anything, which is very remarkable, as well on account of

+<h3>RAPPING NO NOVELTY.</h3>
+
+  <p>It may be interesting to the believers in modern miracles to learn
+  that at all events "rapping" is no new thing. I now send you the account
+  of an incident in the sixteenth century, which bears a strong resemblance
+  to some of those veracious narrations which have enlightened mankind in
+  the nineteenth century.</p>
+
+  <p>Rushton Hall, near Kettering in Northamptonshire, was long the
+  residence of the ancient and distinguished family of Treshams. In the
+  reign of Queen Elizabeth, the mansion was occupied by Sir Thomas Tresham,
+  who was a pedant and a fanatic; but who was an important character in his
+  time by reason of his great wealth and powerful connexions. There is a
+  lodge at Rushton, situate about half a mile from the old hall, now in
+  ruins; but covered all over, within and without, with emblems of the
+  Trinity. This lodge is known to have been built by Sir Thomas Tresham;
+  but his precise motive for selecting this mode of illustrating his
+  favourite doctrine was unknown until it appeared from a letter written by
+  himself about the year 1584, and discovered in a bundle of books and
+  papers inclosed, since 1605, in a wall in the old mansion, and brought to
+  light about twenty years ago. The following relation of a "rapping" or
+  "knocking" is extracted from this letter:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"If it be demanded why I labour so much in the Trinity and Passion of

+
+  <p>"Upon the meeting of the House of Lords, there was complaint made
+  against one Bond, a poet, for making a scandalous letter in the queen's

+<h2>Queries.</h2>
+
+<h3>GRAMMAR IN RELATION TO LOGIC.</h3>
+
+  <p>Dr. Latham (<i>Outlines of Logic</i>, p. 21., 1847, and <i>English
+  Language</i>, p. 510., 2nd edition) defines the conjunction to be a part
+  of speech that connects <i>propositions</i>, not <i>words</i>. His
+  doctrine is so palpably and demonstrably false, that I am somewhat at a
+  loss to understand how a man of his penetration can be so far deceived by
+  a crotchet as to be blind to the host of examples which point to the
+  direct converse of his doctrine. Let the learned Doctor try to resolve
+  the sentence, <i>All men are either two-legged, one-legged, or
+  no-legged</i>, into three constituent propositions. It cannot be done;
+  <i>either</i> and <i>or</i> are here conjunctions which connect words and
+  not propositions. In the example, <i>John and James carry a basket</i>,
+  it is of course quite plain that the <i>logic</i> of the matter is that
+  <i>John carries one portion of the basket, and James carries the
+  rest</i>. But to identify these two propositions with the first
+  mentioned, is to confound grammar with logic. The former deals with the
+  method of expression, the latter with the method of stating (in thought)
+  and syllogising. To take another example, <i>Charles and Thomas stole all
+  the apples</i>. The fact probably was, that Charles' pockets contained
+  some of the apples, and Thomas' pockets contained all the rest. But the
+  business of grammar in the above sentence is to regulate the <i>form</i>
+  of the expression, not to reason upon the <i>matter</i> expressed. A
+  little thought will soon convince any person accustomed to these subjects
+  that <i>conjunctions always connect words, not propositions</i>. The only
+  work in which I leave seen Dr. Latham's fundamental error exposed, is in
+  Boole's <i>Mathematical Analysis of Logic</i>; the learned author, though
+  he seems unsettled on many matters of logic and metaphysics, has clearly
+  made up his mind on the point now under discussion. He says:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"The proposition, every animal is <i>either</i> rational <i>or</i>
+  irrational, cannot be resolved into, <i>Either</i> every animal is
+  rational, <i>or</i> every animal is irrational. The former belong to pure
+  categoricals, to latter to hypotheticals [Query <i>disjunctives</i>]. In
+  <i>singular</i> propositions such conversions would seem to be allowable.
+  This animal is <i>either</i> rational <i>or</i> irrational, is equivalent
+  to, <i>Either</i> this animal is rational, <i>or</i> it is irrational.
+  This peculiarity of <i>singular</i> propositions would almost justify our
+  ranking them, though truly universals, in a separate class, as Ramus and
+  his followers did."&mdash;P. 59.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>This certainly seems unanswerable.</p>
+
+  <p>If Dr. Latham is a reader of "N. &amp; Q.," I should be glad if he
+  would give his reasons for adhering to his original doctrine in the face
+  of such facts as those I have instanced.</p>

+<h3>THE CORONET [CROWN] OF LLEWELYN AP GRIFFITH,
+PRINCE OF WALES.</h3>
+
+  <p>A notice, transferred to <i>The Times</i> of the 5th instant from a
+  recent number of <i>The Builder</i>, on the shrine of Edward the
+  Confessor, after mentioning that "to this shrine Edward I. offered the
+  Scottish regalia and the coronation chair, which is still preserved,"
+  adds, "Alphonso, about 1280, offered it the golden coronet of Llewelyn,
+  Prince of Wales, and other jewels."</p>
+
+  <p>Who was Alphonso? And would the contributor of the notice favour the
+  readers of "N. &amp; Q." with the authority <i>in extenso</i> for the
+  offering of this coronet?</p>
+
+  <p>The period assigned for the offering is certainly too early; Llewelyn
+  ap Griffith, "the last sovereign of one of the most ancient ruling
+  families of Europe" (<i>Hist. of England</i>, by Sir James Mackintosh,
+  vol. ii. p. 254.), having been slain at Builth, Dec. 11, 1282. Warrington
+  (<i>Hist. of. Wales</i>, vol. ii. p. 271.), on the authority of Rymer's
+  <i>F&oelig;dera</i>, vol. ii. p. 224., says: "Upon stripping Llewelyn
+  there were found his Privy Seal; a paper that was filled with dark
+  expressions, and a list of names written in a kind of cypher;" omitting,
+  it will be observed, any reference to Llewelyn's coronet. That monarch's
+  crown was probably obtained and transmitted to Edward I. on the capture,
+  June 21, 1283, or shortly after, of his brother David ap Griffith, Lord
+  of Denbigh, who had assumed the Welsh throne on the demise of Llewelyn;
+  the Princess Catherine, the daughter and heir of the latter, and <i>de
+  jure</i> sovereign Princess of Wales, being then an infant. Warrington
+  states (vol. ii. p. 285.) that when David was taken, a relic, highly
+  venerated by the Princes of Wales, was found upon him, called
+  <i>Crosseneych</i>, supposed to be a part of the real cross brought by
+  St. Neots into Wales from the Holy Land; and he adds that, besides the
+  above relic, which was voluntarily delivered up to Edward by a secretary
+  of the late Prince of Wales, "the crown of the celebrated King Arthur,
+  with many precious jewels, was about this time presented to Edward,"
+  citing as his authorities <i>Annales Waverleienses</i>, p. 238.; Rymer's
+  <i>F&oelig;dera</i>, vol. ii. p. 247.</p>
+
+  <p>There are some particulars of these relics in the <i>Arch�ologia

+  pale mouse-colour. It is said to be well known in Suffolk, whence,
+  however, after some trouble, I have been unsuccessful in obtaining a
+  specimen; young stoats or weasels having been sent me instead of it. I
+  could not find a specimen in the British Museum. Some years ago I saw two
+  in Glamorganshire; one escaped me; the other had been killed by a ferret,
+  but unfortunately I neglected to preserve it. Near the same spot last

+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"I know only of one species of stoat, but I have certainly seen more
+  than one species of weasel.... There is one species of weasel so small
+  that it can easily follow mice into their holes; and one of these, not a
+  month ago, I watched go into a mouse's hole in an open grass field.
+  Seeing something hopping along in the grass, which I took for a large
+  long-tailed field mouse, I stood still as it was approaching my position,
+  and when within a foot or two of the spot on which I was standing, so
+  that I could have a full view of the animal, a very small weasel
+  appeared, and quickly disappeared again in a tuft of grass. On searching
+  the spot I discovered a mousehole, in which Mr. Weasel had made his
+  exit."</p>

+<h3>ALEXANDER CLARK.</h3>
+
+<p class="cenhead">(Vol. viii., p. 18.)</p>
+
+  <p>In communicating a few particulars about Alexander Clark, I must
+  disappoint your correspondent <span class="sc">Perthensis</span>;
+  <i>my</i> subject answering in no respect to Peter Buchan's "drucken
+  dominie," the author of the <i>Buttery College</i>. Alexander Clark, who
+  has fallen in my way, belongs to the class of "amiable enthusiasts;" a
+  character I am somewhat fond of, believing that in any pursuit a dash of
+  the latter quality is essential to success.</p>
+
+  <p>Clark was by profession a gardener; and as my friends in the north
+  always seek to localise their worthies, I venture to assign him to
+  Annandale. My first acquaintance with him arose from his <!-- Page 518
+  --><span class="pagenum"><a
+  name="page518"></a>{518}</span><i>Emblematical Representation</i> falling
+  into my hands; and, pursuing my inquiries, I found this was but one of
+  some half-dozen visionary works from the same pen. In his <i>View of the
+  Glory of the Messiah's Kingdom</i>, we have the origin of his taking upon
+  himself the prophetic character; it is entitled:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"A Brief Account of an Extraordinary Revelation, and other Things
+  Remarkable, in the Course of God's Dealings with Alexander Clark,
+  Gardener at Dumcrief, near Moffat, Anandale, in the Year 1749."</p>
+
+  <p>"In the month of August, 1749," says he, "at a certain time when the
+  Lord was pleased to chastise me greatly in a bed of affliction, and in
+  the midst of my great trial, it pleased the Almighty God wonderfully to
+  surprise me with a glorious light round about me; and looking up, I saw
+  straight before me a glorious building in the air, as bright and clear as
+  the sun: it was so vastly great, so amiable to behold, so full of majesty
+  and glory, that it filled my heart with wonder and admiration. The place
+  where this sight appeared to me was just over the city of Edinburgh; at
+  the same instant I heard, as it were, the musick bells of the said city
+  ring for joy."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>From this period, Clark's character became tinged with that enthusiasm
+  which ended in his belief that he was inspired; and that in publishing
+  his&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Signs of the Times: showing by many infallible Testimonies and Proofs
+  out of the Holy Scripture, that an extraordinary Change is at Hand, even
+  at the very Door,"&mdash;</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>he was merely "emitting what he derived directly, by special favour,
+  from God!"</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"The Spirit of God," he says on another occasion, "was so sensibly
+  poured out upon me, and to such a degree, that I was thereby made to see
+  things done in secret, and came to find things lost, and knew where to go
+  to find those things which were lost!"</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>This <i>second sight</i>, if I may so call it, set our author upon
+  drawing aside the veil from the prophetic writings; and his view of their
+  mystical sense is diffused over the indigested and rambling works bearing
+  the following titles:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"A View of the Glory of the Messiah's Kingdom." 1763.</p>
+
+  <p>"Remarks upon the Accomplishment of Scripture Prophecy."</p>
+
+  <p>"A Practical Treatise on Regeneration." 1764.</p>
+
+  <p>"The Mystery of God opened," &amp;c. Edinburgh. 1768.</p>
+
+  <p>"An Emblematical Representation of the Paradise of God, showing the
+  Nature of Spiritual Industry in the Similitude of a Garden, well ordered,
+  dressed, and kept, with Sundry Reflections on the Nature of Divine
+  Knowledge, 1779."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>In his <i>Address to the Friendly Society of Gardeners</i>, Clark
+  gives some account of his worldly condition; of his early training in
+  religious habits; his laborious and industrious devotion to his
+  profession, with which he seems to have been greatly enamoured, although
+  poorly paid, and often in straits. Subsequently to the great event of his
+  life&mdash;his vision&mdash;our subject appears to have come south, and
+  to have been in the employment of Lord Charles Spencer at Hanworth in
+  Middlesex. Like most of the prophets of his day, Clark was haunted with
+  the belief that the last day was approaching; and considering himself
+  called upon to announce to his acquaintance and neighbours that this
+  "terrible judgment of God was at hand," he got but contempt and ridicule
+  for his pains:&mdash;more than that, indeed, for those raising the cry
+  that he was a madman, they procured the poor man's expulsion from his
+  situation. Under all these discouraging circumstances, he maintained his
+  firm conviction of the approaching end of time: so strongly was his mind
+  bent in this direction, that "I opened the window of the house where I
+  then was," says he, "thinking to see Christ coming in the clouds!"</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"I was three days and three nights that I could not eat, drink, nor
+  sleep; and when I would close my eyes, I felt something always touching
+  me; at length I heard a voice sounding in mine ears, saying 'Sleep not,
+  lest thou sleep the sleep of death:' and at that I looked for my Bible,
+  and at the first opening of it I read these words, which were sent with
+  power, 'To him that overcometh,'" &amp;c.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>Poor Clark, like his prototype Thomas Newans, laboured hard to obtain
+  the sanction of the hierarchy to his predictions:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"I desire no man," he says, "to believe me without proof; and if the
+  Reverend the Clergy would think this worth their perusal, I would very
+  willingly hear what they had to say either for or against."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>The orthodoxy of the "Reverend the Clergy" was not, however, to be
+  moved; and Alexander Clark and his books now but serve the end of
+  pointing a moral. With more real humility and less presumption, there was
+  much that was good about him; but letting his heated fancies get the
+  better of the little judgment he possessed, our <i>amiable enthusiast</i>
+  became rather a stumbling-block than light to his generation.</p>

+<h3>AMCOTTS PEDIGREE.</h3>
+
+<p class="cenhead">(Vol. viii., p. 387.)</p>
+
+  <p>Although I may not be able to furnish your inquirer with full pedigree
+  of this family, my Notes may prove useful in making it out.</p>
+
+  <p>From a settlement after marriage in 1663, of Vincent Amcotts of
+  Laughton, in the county of Lincoln, gentleman, I find his wife's name to
+  be Amy; but who she was is not disclosed. It appears she survived her
+  husband, and was his <!-- Page 519 --><span class="pagenum"><a
+  name="page519"></a>{519}</span>widow and relict and executrix living in
+  1687. Their eldest daughter Elizabeth married John Sheffield, Esq., of
+  Croxby, and I have noted three children of theirs, viz. Vincent, who died
+  s.p.; Christopher, who, with Margaret, his wife, in 1676 sold the Croxby
+  estate; and Sarah. What farther as to this branch does not appear,
+  although my next Vincent Amcotts may be, and probably was, a descendant.
+  This Vincent Amcotts was of Harrington, in the county of Lincoln, Esq.;
+  and who, from his marriage settlement dated May 16 and 17, 1720, married
+  Elizabeth, the third of the four daughters of John Quincy of Aslackby, in
+  the county of Lincoln, gentleman: and I find the issue of this marriage
+  to be Charles Amcotts of Kettlethorpe, in the county of Lincoln, Esq.,
+  who died in 1777 s.p.; Anna Maria, whom married Wharton Emerson;
+  Elizabeth, who died previous to her brother Charles; and Frances, who
+  married the Rev. Edward Buckworth of Washingborough, in the county of
+  Lincoln, Clerk, Doctor of Laws.</p>
+
+  <p>After the death of Charles Amcotts, we find Wharton Emerson at
+  Kettlethorpe, having assumed the name of Amcotts: he was created a
+  baronet in 1796, the title being limited in remainder to the eldest son
+  of his daughter Elizabeth. Sir Wharton Amcotts married a second wife,
+  Amelia Campbell, by whom he had a daughter, but what became of her does
+  not appear. Elizabeth, the daughter and heir of Sir Wharton Amcotts by
+  his first wife Anna Maria Amcotts, married in 1780 John Ingilby, Esq., of
+  Ripley, who in the next year was created a baronet: and they appear to
+  have had eleven children, viz. John Charles Amcotts, the present Sir
+  William Amcotts Ingelby, in whom both titles are vested, Elizabeth,
+  Augusta, Anna Maria, and Ann; which last three died in infancy; Diana,
+  Vincent Bosville, who died at a year old, and Julia and Constance. Thus
+  far my Notes extend.</p>

+
+  <p>The year is not indicated, but the allusion to the death of Concini
+  (the celebrated Mar�chal d'Ancre, who was assassinated by order of Louis
+  XIII.) proves that this letter was written in 1617, and very shortly
+  before the death of the writer, which occurred on the 27th of October in
+  that year.</p>
+
+  <p>M. Charles Huyghens, to whom the letter is addressed, was probably the
+  father of Constantine Huyghens, the Dutch poet-politician, who was
+  secretary and privy counsellor to the Stadtholders Frederick Henry, and
+  William I. and II., and who, not improbably, was the son here mentioned
+  as recommended to the protection of Sir R. Winwood, and who, at that
+  date, would have been twenty-one years of age.</p>
+
+  <p>Constantine was himself the father of the still more celebrated
+  Christian Huyghens, the astronomer and mathematician. The seal on the
+  letter, which is in excellent preservation, is a shield bearing the
+  following arms: 1. and 4. a cross botonn�, 2. and 3. three

+
+  <p>I hope that neither Mr. Trench nor his critic E.&nbsp;M.&nbsp;B. will consider
+  me interfering by my making an observation or two on the correct
+  rendering of the latter part of Ps. cxxvii. 2. Mr. Trench is perfectly
+  correct by supposing an ellipsis in the sentence alluded to, and the
+  words</p>

+  <p>should have been translated, "He will give to his beloved whilst he
+  [the beloved] is asleep." The translation of the authorised version of
+  that sacred affirmation is unintelligible. Mr. Trench has the support of
+  Luther's version, which has the sentence thus:</p>
+
+  <div class="poem">
+    <div class="stanza">
+      <p class="hg3">"Seinen Freunden giebt er es schlafend."</p>
+    </div>

+  >&Mu;&Omicron;&Nu;&Omicron;&Nu;</span>, the line would be one of the best
+  specimens of the recurrent order.</p>
+
+  <p>I notice that a correspondent (Vol. vii., p. 336.) describes the

+  that "the sacrifice of Cain was not a living victim."</p>
+
+  <p>I have seen it stated that the English language affords but <i>one</i>
+  specimen of the palindrome, while the Latin and Greek have many. The late
+  Dr. Winter Hamilton, the author of <i>Nug� Literari�</i>, gives this
+  solitary line, which at the best is awkwardly fashioned:</p>

+
+  <p>Some years since I fell in with that which, after all, is the most

+  equal to it.</p>
+

+  written in ancient Greek by a modern Greek called Ambrosius, printed in
+  Vienna in 1802, and dedicated to the Emperor Alexander. It contains 455
+  lines, every one of which is literal palindrome.</p>
+
+  <p>I have some hesitation in giving even a quotation; and yet,

+  --><span class="pagenum"><a name="page521"></a>{521}</span>Hawthornden,

+  The latter is a very remarkable specimen, the grip being formed either of

+  guard is constructed of two iron bars, terminated by trefoils, and
+  intersecting each other at right angles. The blade is very ponderous, and
+  shorter than usual in weapons of this description.</p>
+
+  <p>The claymore of modern times is a broadsword, double or single-edged,
+  and provided with a basket hilt of form peculiar to Scotland, though the
+  idea was probably derived from Spain. Swords with basket hilts were
+  commonly used by the English cavalry in the reigns of Charles I. and II.,
+  but they are always of a different type from the Scotch, though affording
+  as complete a protection to the hand. I possess some half-dozen examples,

+  <p><i>Lewis and Sewell Families</i> (Vol. viii., p. 388.).&mdash;Your

+  information in the <i>Life and Correspondence of Matthew Gregory

+  vol. i. He will there find that Matthew Lewis, Esq., who was Deputy
+  Secretary of War for twenty-six years, married Frances Sewell, youngest
+  daughter of the Right Hon. Sir Thos. Sewell; that Lieut.-Gen. Whitelocke
+  and Gen. Sir Thos. Brownrigg, G.C.B., married the other two daughters of
+  Sir Thos. Sewell; and that Matthew Gregory Lewis, who wrote the <i>Castle
+  Spectre</i>, &amp;c., was son of Matthew Lewis, Esq., the Deputy
+  Secretary of War.</p>
+
+  <p>With regard to the Sewell family. The Right Hon. Sir Thos. Sewell, who
+  was Master of the Rolls for twenty years, died in 1784; and there is, I
+  believe, a very correct account of his family connexions in the
+  <i>Gentleman's Magazine</i> for 1784, p. 555. He died intestate, and his
+  eldest son, Thos. Bailey Heath Sewell, succeeded to his estate of
+  Ottershaw and the manors of Stannards and Fords in Chobham, Surrey. This
+  gentleman was a magistrate for the county of Surrey; and in the spring of
+  1794, when this country was threatened by both foreign and domestic
+  enemies, he became Lieut.-Col. of a regiment of Light Dragoons
+  (fencibles), raised in Surrey (at Richmond) by George Lord Onslow,
+  Lord-Lieut. of the county, in which he served six years, till the
+  Government not requiring their services they were disbanded. Lieut.-Col.
+  Sewell died in 1803, and was buried in the church at Chobham, where there
+  is a monument to his memory. Of his family we have not farther knowledge
+  than that he had a son, Thos. Bermingham Heath Sewell, who was a cornet
+  in the 32nd Light Dragoons, and lieutenant in the 4th Dragoon Guards
+  during the war of the French Revolution. The <i>History and Antiquities

+  <p><i>Pharaoh's Ring</i> (Vol. viii., p. 416.).&mdash;The mention of the
+  ring conferred on, or confided to, Joseph by the Pharaoh of Egypt, as
+  stated in Genesis xli. 42., reminds me of a ring being shown to me some
+  years ago, which was believed by its then possessor to be the identical
+  ring, or at all events a signet ring of the very Pharaoh who promoted
+  Joseph to the chief office in his kingdom.</p>
+
+  <p>It was a ring of pure gold, running through a hole in a massive wedge
+  of gold, about the size, as far as I recollect, of a moderate-sized
+  walnut. On one of its faces was cut the hieroglyphic (inclosed as usual
+  with the names of Egyptian kings in an oval), as I was assured, of the
+  king, the friend of Joseph, as was generally supposed by the readers of
+  hieroglyphics: I pretend to no knowledge of them myself.</p>
+
+  <p>The possessor of the ring, who showed it to me, was Mr. Sams, one of
+  the Society of Friends, a bookseller at Darlington. Since railroads have
+  <!-- Page 522 --><span class="pagenum"><a
+  name="page522"></a>{522}</span>whirled me past that town, I have lost my
+  means of periodical communication with him. He had, not long before I saw
+  him last, returned from the Holy Land, where he assured me he had visited
+  every spot that could be identified mentioned in the New Testament. He
+  had also been some time in Egypt, and had brought home a great quantity
+  of Egyptian antiquities. The lesser ones he had in the first floor of a
+  carver and gilder's in Great Queen Street, between the Freemason's Tavern
+  and Lincoln's Inn Fields. He was then anxious that these should be bought
+  for the British Museum, and I think that at his request I wrote to the
+  Earl of Aberdeen to mention this, and that the answer was that there was
+  already so large a collection in the Museum, that more, as they must most
+  of them be duplicates, would be of no use.</p>
+
+  <p>What has become of them I know not. I was told that a number of his
+  larger antiquities, stone and marble, were for some time placed on
+  Waterloo Bridge, that being a very quiet place, where people might view
+  them without interruption. I did not happen to be in London that season,
+  and therefore did not see them.</p>

+
+  <p>To any mind the solution brought forward by <span class="sc">Mr.

+
+  <p>In Mr. Frost's valuable work on the town, which by the way proves it
+  to have been "a place of opulence and note at a period long anterior to
+  the date assigned to its existence by historians," he differs materially
+  from <span class="sc">Mr. Richardson</span>, in considering that Hollar's
+  plate was "engraved about the year 1630," not in 1640 as he states. There
+  is also another which appeared between the time of Hollar and Gent, in
+  Meisner's <i>Libellus novus politicus emblematicus Civitatum</i>,
+  published in 1638, which though not "remarkable for accuracy of design,"
+  is well worthy of notice. It bears the title "Hull in Engellandt," and
+  also the following curious inscriptions, which I copy for the interest of
+  your readers:</p>
+

+  <span title="nux." class="grk">&nu;&#x1F7A;&xi;.</span> It is precisely

+  to say that the greatest scrape she ever got into with him was by using

+  "never let me hear you say that again!" "Why, sir," she asked, "what am I
+  to say?" "The rabble, to be sure," answered he. (Sir W. Scott's <i>Works
+  of Swift</i>, vol. ix.) The word appears to have been introduced about
+  the commencement of the eighteenth century, by a process to which we owe
+  many other and similar barbarisms&mdash;"beauties introduced to supply
+  the want of wit, sense, humour, and learning." In a paper of <i>The
+  Tatler</i>, No. 230., much in the spirit, and possibly from the pen, of
+  Swift, complaint is made of the "abbreviations and elisions" which had
+  recently been introduced, and a humorous example of them is given. By
+  these, the author adds,</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Consonants of most obdurate sound are joined together without one
+  softening vowel to intervene; and all this only to make one syllable of
+  two, directly contrary to the example of the Greeks and Romans, and a
+  natural tendency towards relapsing into barbarity. And this is still more
+  visible in the next refinement, which consists in pronouncing the first
+  syllable in a word that has many, and dismissing the rest. Thus we cram
+  one syllable and cut off the rest, as the owl fattened her mice after she
+  had bit off their legs to prevent their running away; and if ours be the
+  same reason for maiming our words, it will certainly answer the end, for
+  I am sure no other nation will desire to borrow them."</p>

+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"The two principal qualifications (says he) of a fanatic preacher are,

+

+  <p>So also it is used by Samuel Wesley (father of the founder of the

+
+  <p><i>"Salus populi," &amp;c.</i> (Vol. viii., p. 410.).&mdash;The saying
+  "Salus populi supreme lex" is borrowed from the model law of Cicero, in
+  his treatise <i>de Legibus</i>, <span class="scac">III</span>. 3. It is
+  made one of the duties of the consuls, the supreme magistrates, to regard
+  the safety of the state as their highest rule of conduct:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Regio imperio duo sunto; iique pr�eundo, judicando, consulendo
+  Pr�tores, Judices, Consules appellantor. Militi� summum jus habento,
+  nemini parento: <i>ollis salus populi suprema lex esto</i>."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>The allusion appears to be to the formula used by the senate for
+  conferring supreme power on the consuls in cases of emergency: "Dare
+  operam, ne quid respublica detrimenti caperet." (See Sallust, <i>Bell.
+  Cat.</i> c. 29.)</p>
+
+  <p class="author">L.</p>
+

+  Martinique, and they use the term frequently in this sense as applied to
+  a beverage made of white wine ("Vin de Grave"), syrup, water, and nutmeg
+  with a small piece of fresh lime-skin hanging over the edge of the glass.

+<h3>NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.</h3>
+
+  <p>Dr. Lardner has just published the third and concluding course of his
+  <i>Handbook of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy</i>. The subjects treated
+  of in the present volume are <i>Meteorology and Astronomy</i>, and they
+  are illustrated with thirty-seven lithographic plates, and upwards of two
+  hundred engravings on wood. The work was undertaken with the very popular
+  object of supplying the means of acquiring a competent knowledge of the
+  methods and results of the physical sciences, without any unusual
+  acquaintance with mathematics; and in the methods of demonstration and
+  illustration of this series of treatises, that principle has as far as
+  possible, been adopted so that by means of the present volumes, persons
+  who have not even a superficial knowledge of geometry and algebra may yet
+  acquire with great facility a considerable acquaintance with the sciences
+  of which they treat. The present volume contains a very elaborate index,
+  which, <!-- Page 528 --><span class="pagenum"><a
+  name="page528"></a>{528}</span>combined with the analytical tables of
+  contents, give to the entire series all the usefulness of a compendious
+  encyclop�dia of natural philosophy and astronomy.</p>
+
+  <p><i>Willich's Income Tax Tables, Fourth Edition, 1853-1860</i>, price
+  <i>One Florin</i>, show at one view the amount of duty at the various
+  rates fixed by the late act, and are accompanied by a variety of
+  statistical information, tending to show that the wealth of the nation
+  has increased in as great, if not a greater, ratio, than the population.
+  The price at which the work is issued serves to lead our attention to a
+  little pamphlet, published at sixpence, or 25 <i>mils</i>, by Mr. Robert
+  Mears, entitled <i>Decimal Coinage Tables for simplifying and
+  facilitating the Introduction of the proposed new Coinage</i>.</p>
+
+  <p><i>The Ecclesiastical History of England and Normandy by Ordericus
+  Vitalis, translated with Notes, and the Introduction of Guizot</i>, by
+  Thomas Forrester, M.A. Vol. I., is a new volume of the interesting Series
+  of Translations of the early <i>Church Historians of England</i>
+  publishing by Mr. Bohn, to which we propose calling the especial
+  attention of our readers at some future period. The importance which our
+  French neighbours attach to the writings of Ordericus Vitalis is shown by
+  the fact that the French Historical Society, after publishing a
+  translation, are now issuing an edition of the original text, from a
+  laborious collation of the best MSS., under the editorship of M. Auguste
+  le Prevost. The present translation is based upon that edition.</p>
+
+  <p>We have on several occasions called the attention of our readers to
+  the Collection of Proclamations in the possession of the Society of
+  Antiquaries, and to the endeavours making by that learned body to secure
+  as complete a series as possible of these valuable but hitherto little
+  used materials for English History. Some contributions towards this
+  object have, we believe, been the results of our notices; and we have now
+  to state, that at the opening meeting on Thursday the 17th, it was
+  announced that William Salt, Esq., F.S.A., had presented to the library
+  two volumes of Proclamations of the reigns of Elizabeth and James I.
+  Great as is the pecuniary value of this munificent donation, it is far
+  exceeded by its importance in filling up a large gap in the existing
+  Series. A <i>Catalogue Raisonn�e</i> of the whole collection is in
+  preparation by Robert Lemon, Esq., of the State Paper Office, a gentleman
+  well qualified for the task, and its early publication may, we trust, be
+  received as an evidence of the beneficial influence which the Society of
+  Antiquaries is hereafter destined to exercise on the historical
+  literature of England.</p>

+  <p>BOHN'S BRITISH CLASSICS.&mdash;Under the above Title is this Day
+  commenced a New Series (which has long been in preparation), uniform in
+  Size and Price with the Standard Library. It will comprise full and
+  complete Editions of the great Authors of our Literature, including
+  especially those which at present exist only in scarce or expensive
+  Editions. Among the early Volumes will be GIBBON'S DECLINE AND FALL OF
+  THE ROMAN EMPIRE, with VARIORUM NOTES, comprising not only all those
+  given in the Original Quarto Edition, but also the Notes of Guizot,
+  Wenck, and other Foreign Editors, as well as whatever has been derived
+  from the later Researches of Niebuhr, Layard, &amp;c. A Portrait of the
+  Author and Plates, whenever essential as Illustrations, will be added, on
+  the same plan as the recent Edition of SOUTHEY'S COWPER published in the
+  STANDARD LIBRARY.</p>
+
+  <p>Although it is deemed expedient to enter on a New Series under the
+  Title of BRITISH CLASSICS, to enable the Publisher, without farther
+  delay, to fructify a long cherished scheme, the Standard, Scientific,
+  Antiquarian, Illustrated, Classical, Philological, and Ecclesiastical
+  Libraries will be continued with undiminished attention.</p>

+
+  <p>On Thursday, the 5th of January, 1854, will be published, price
+  Twopence, the First of a Series of Works, entitled ORR'S CIRCLE OF THE
+  SCIENCES; consisting of Short Treatises on the Fundamental Principles and
+  Characteristic Features of Scientific and Practical Pursuits. With
+  Numerous Illustrative Engravings on Wood.</p>
+
+  <p>MESSRS. W. S. ORR &amp; CO. have to announce the Early Publication, in
+  Weekly Numbers, of a Series of Short Treatises, which will include every
+  useful and attractive section of human acquirement, whether scientific,
+  practical, or descriptive; and which will be issued at a price so
+  moderate as to place them within the reach of every member of the
+  community.</p>
+
+  <p>Although every subject will be treated in a philosophic spirit, yet it
+  will not be forgotten that the work is designed for popular use; and
+  therefore the Editor and the various Contributors will endeavour to
+  clothe the whole Series, and the Scientific Treatises especially, in
+  simple language, so as to render them easy introductions to practical
+  studies.</p>
+
+  <p>To carry the design into effect, assistance has been obtained from
+  eminent scientific men: and the Editor has the satisfaction of announcing
+  among the Contributors to the first year's volumes the names of Professor
+  Owen, of the Royal College of Surgeons; Sir William Jardine, Bart.;
+  Professors Ansted and Tennant, of King's College; the Rev. Walter
+  Mitchell, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital; and Professor Young, Examiner in
+  Mathematics at the University of London. Every confidence, therefore, may
+  be placed in the publication, as regards its soundness of principle, its
+  extent of information, and its accordance with the results of the latest
+  researches and discoveries.</p>
+
+  <p>During the first year either three or four volumes will be completed.
+  The respective subjects will not be issued in consecutive weeks; but the
+  paging of each series will be continuous:&mdash;so that the whole, when
+  collected at the end of the year, will form separate Volumes, with
+  Title-pages, Prefaces, Tables of Contents, Indices&mdash;each Volume
+  being a distinct work on Natural Philosophy, on the Two Great Divisions
+  of Natural History, and on the Mathematical Sciences.</p>
+
+  <p>The "Circle of the Sciences" will thus, by the aid of copious
+  Analytical Indices, combine all the advantages of an Encyclop�dia, as a
+  work of reference, without the irksome repetition which alphabetical
+  arrangements necessarily involve.</p>
+
+<hr class="short" />
+
+  <p>On the 1st of December an Introductory Treatise,</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"On the NATURE, CONNECTION, and USES of the GREAT DEPARTMENTS of HUMAN
+  KNOWLEDGE."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>Will be issued; but the Publication of the Work itself will not
+  commence until January, 1854.</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.
+
+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.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+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

+     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.

+
+THE STATE PRISON IN THE TOWER.
+
+A paragraph has lately gone the round of the newspapers, in which, after
+mentioning the alterations recently made in the Beauchamp Tower and the
+opening of its "written walls" to public inspection, it is stated that this
+Tower was formerly the place of confinement for state prisoners, and that
+"Sir William Wallace and Queen Anne Boleyn" were amongst its inmates.
+
+Now, I believe there is no historical authority for saying that "the
+Scottish hero" was ever confined in the Tower of London; and it seems
+certain that the unfortunate queen was a prisoner in the royal apartments,
+which were in a different part of the fortress. But so many illustrious
+persons are known to have been confined in the Beauchamp Tower, and its
+walls preserve so many curious inscriptions--the undoubted autographs of
+many of its unfortunate tenants--that it must always possess great
+interest.
+
+Speaking from memory, I cannot say whether the building known as the
+Beauchamp (or Wakefield) Tower was even in existence in the time of Edward
+I.; but my impression is, that its architecture is not of so early a time.
+It is, I believe, supposed to derive its name from the confinement in it of
+Thomas de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, in 1397. Of course it was not the
+only place of durance of state prisoners, but it was the prison of most of
+the victims of Tudor cruelty who were confined in the Tower of London; and
+the walls of the principal chamber which is on the first storey, and was,
+until lately, used as a mess-room for the officers, are covered in some
+parts with those curious inscriptions by prisoners which were first
+described in a paper read before the Society of Antiquaries in 1796, by the
+Rev. J. Brand, and published in the thirteenth volume of _The Archaeologia_.
+
+Mr. P. Cunningham, in his excellent _Handbook_, says:
+
+    "William Wallace was lodged as a prisoner on his first arrival in
+    London in the house of William de Leyre, a citizen, in the parish of
+    All Hallows Staining, at the end of Fenchurch Street."
+
+{510}
+
+Mr. Cunningham, in his notice of the Tower, mentions Wallace first among
+the eminent persons who have been confined there. The popular accounts of
+the Tower do the like. It was about the Feast of the Assumption (Aug. 15)
+that Wallace was taken and conducted to London; and it seems clear that he
+was forthwith imprisoned in the citizen's house:
+
+    "He was lodged," says Stow, "in the house of William Delect, a citizen
+    of London, in Fenchurch Street. On the morrow, being the eve of St.
+    Bartholomew (23rd Aug.), he was brought on horseback to Westminster ...
+    the mayor, sheriffs, and aldermen of London accompanying him; and in
+    the Great Hall at Westminster ... being impeached," &c.
+
+The authorities cited are, Adam Merimuth and Thomas de La More. His
+arraignment and condemnation on the Vigil of St. Bartholomew are also
+mentioned by Matthew Westminster, p. 451. Neither these historians, or Stow
+or Holinshed, afford any farther information. The latter chronicler says
+that Wallace was "condemned, and thereupon hanged" (_Chron._, fol., 1586,
+vol. ii. p. 313.). He was executed at Smithfield; and it is not improbable
+that, if, after his condemnation, he was taken to any place of safe
+custody, he was lodged in Newgate. The following entry of the expenses of
+the sheriffs attending his execution is on the Chancellor's Roll of 33 Edw.
+I. in the British Museum:
+
+    "Et in expen[=s] [=t] misis [=f]cis [crossed p] eos[=d] Vice^{tes}
+    [crossed p] Willo le Walleys Scoto lat^one predone puplico utlagato
+    inimico et rebellione [Rx] qui in contemptu [Rx] [crossed p] Scociam se
+    Regem Scocie falso fec[=a]t n[=o]iare [=t] [=t] ministros [Rx] in
+    [crossed p]t[=i]bus Scocie in[=t]fecit at[crossed q] dux^t excercit[=u]
+    hostili[=t] contr^a Reg[=e] [crossed p] judici[=u] Cu[=r] [Rx] apud
+    West[=m] dist^ahendo suspendendo decollando e[=j] viscera concremando
+    ac e[=j] corpus q^arterando cu[=j] cor[crossed p]is quar[=t]ia ad iiij
+    majores villas Scocie t^asmittebantur hoc anno.... _L_xj s. xd."
+
+The day of the trial, August 23, is generally given the date of his
+execution. It therefore appears that the formidable Scot never was a
+prisoner in the Tower.
+
+The unfortunate Queen Anne Boleyn occupied the royal apartments while she
+was a prisoner in the Tower. From Speed's narrative, it appears that she
+continued to occupy them after she was condemned to death. On May 15 (1536)
+she was (says Stow)
+
+    "Arraigned in the Tower on a scaffold made for the purpose in the
+    King's Hall; and after her condemnation, she was conveyed to ward
+    again, the Lady Kingston, and the Lady Boloigne her aunt, attending on
+    her."
+
+On May 19, the unfortunate queen was led forth to "the green by the White
+Tower" and beheaded.
+
+In the record of her trial before the Duke of Norfolk, Lord High Steward
+(see _Report of Deputy Keeper of Public Records_), she is ordered to be
+taken back to "the king's prison within the Tower;" but these are words of
+form. The oral tradition cannot in this case be relied upon, for it pointed
+out the Martin Tower as the place of her imprisonment because, as I
+believe, her name was found rudely inscribed upon the wall. The Beauchamp
+Tower seems to have been named only because it was the ordinary state
+prison at the time. The narrative quoted by Speed shows, however, that the
+place of her imprisonment was the queen's lodging, where the fading honours
+of royalty still surrounded Anne Boleyn.

+INEDITED LETTER FROM HENRY VIII. OF ENGLAND TO JAMES V. OF SCOTLAND.
+
+I lately transcribed several very interesting original manuscripts, chiefly
+of the seventeenth century, but some of an earlier date, and now send you a
+literal specimen of one evidently belonging to the sixteenth century;
+although, notwithstanding the day of the month is given, the year is not.
+If you think it worthy of a place in your very excellent publication, you
+are quite at liberty to make use of it, and I shall be happy to send you
+some of the others, if you choose to accept them. They chiefly relate to
+the period when the Duke of Lauderdale was commissioner for Scotch affairs
+at the English Court; and one appears to be a letter addressed by the
+members of the Scottish College at Paris to James I. on the death of his
+mother.

+
+HANDBOOK TO THE LIBRARY OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
+
+In the _Report_ of the royal commissioners on the British Museum, printed
+in 1850, we read--
+
+    "We are of opinion that, with reference to such a measure as the one
+    now suggested [giving information to persons at a distance as to the
+    existence of works in the library], and to other measures and
+    regulations generally affecting the use of the library, it is desirable
+    to prepare and publish a compendious _Guide to the reading-room_, as
+    described and _suggested_ by lord Seymour at Q. 9521."
+
+The reference is erroneous. At Q. 9521. there is not a word on the subject!
+At Q. 9522. we read--
+
+    "(_Lord Seymour_--to Antonio Panizzi, Esq.) You have heard also _some
+    witnesses_ state that it would be a great advantage to those who
+    frequent the reading-room if they had put into their hands some short
+    printed guide to the reading-room, to tell them what books of reference
+    there were, and to tell them how they were to proceed to get books, and
+    other information, from the want of which they state they have been at
+    a great loss? (_Mr. Panizzi._) I do not believe that it is often the
+    case that persons are at a loss for want of such a guide, but _it might
+    be done_," etc.
+
+Now, the suggestion of a _short printed guide to the reading-room_ was
+evidently considered as of some importance. The principle of SUUM CUIQUE is
+also of some importance. We observe that lord Seymour the examiner ascribes
+the suggestion to _some witnesses_--but lord Seymour the reporter claims
+the credit of it for himself! It is the after-thought of his lordship of
+which I have to complain.
+
+If we turn to the evidence, it will appear that Mr. Peter Cunningham
+suggested a printed "catalogue of the books in the reading-room," Q.
+4800.--I must now speak of myself. When summoned before the commissioners
+as a witness, I took with me the printed _Directions respecting the
+reading-room_ for the express purpose of pointing out their inconsistency
+and insufficiency, and of advocating the preparation of a guide-book.
+
+I cannot repeat my arguments. It would occupy too much space. I can only
+refer to the questions 6106-6116. The substance is this:--I contended that
+every person admitted to the reading-room should be furnished with
+instructions _how to proceed_--instructions as to the _catalogues which he
+should consult_--and instructions for _asking for the books_. On that
+evidence rests my claim to the credit of having suggested a _Guide to the
+reading-room_. Its validity shall be left to the decision of those who
+venerate the motto of Tom Hearne--SUUM CUIQUE.
+
+The trustees of the British Museum seem to have paid no attention to the
+recommendation of the royal commissioners. They issue the same _Directions_
+as before. _After_ you have obtained admission to the reading-room, you are
+furnished with instructions as to the mode of obtaining it!--but you have
+no guide to the numerous catalogues.
+
+What Mr. Antonio Panizzi, the keeper of the department of printed books,
+says _might be done_, Mr. Richard Sims, of the department of manuscripts,
+says _shall be done_. His _Handbook to the library of the British Museum_
+is a very comprehensive and instructive volume. It is a triumphant
+refutation of the opinions of those who, to the vast injury of literature,
+and serious inconvenience of men of letters, slight common sense and real
+utility in favour of visionary schemes and pedantic elaboration.
+
+There is no want of precedents for a work of this class, either abroad or
+at home. As to the public library at Paris--I observe, in my own small
+collection, an _Essai historique sur la bibliotheque du roi_, par M. le
+Prince; a _Histoire du cabinet des medailles_, par M. Marion du Mersan; a
+_Notice des estampes_, par M. Duchesne, &c.
+
+For a precedent at home, I shall refer to the _Synopsis of the contents of
+the British Museum_. The _first_ edition of that interesting work, with the
+{512} valued autograph of _G. Shaw_, is now before me. It is dated in 1808.
+I have also the _sixtieth_ edition, printed in this year. I cannot expect
+to see a sixtieth edition of the _Handbook_, but it deserves to be placed
+by the side of the _Synopsis_, and I venture to predict for it a wide
+circulation.

+FOLK LORE.
+
+_Derbyshire Folk Lore._--Many years ago I learned the following verses in
+Derbyshire, with reference to magpies:
+
+ "One is a sign of sorrow; two are a sign of mirth;
+  Three are a sign of a wedding; and four a sign of a birth."
+
+The opinion that a swarm of bees settling on a dead tree forebodes a death
+in the family also prevails in Derbyshire.
+
+In that county also there is an opinion that a dog howling before a house
+is an indication that some one is dying within the house; and I remember an
+instance where, as I heard at the time, a dog continued howling in a street
+in front of a house in which a lady was dying.
+
+It is also a prevalent notion that if the sun shines through the
+apple-trees on Christmas Day, there will be an abundant crop the following
+year.
+
+I never heard the croaking of a raven or carrion crow mentioned as an
+indication of anything, which is very remarkable, as well on account of its
+ill-omened sound, as because it was so much noticed by the Romans.
+
+S. G. C.
+
+_Weather Superstitions._--If it rains much during the twelve days after
+Christmas Day, it will be a wet year. So say the country people.
+
+"If there is anything in this, 1853 will be a wet year, for it has rained
+_every_ day of the twelve." So wrote I under date January 9.
+
+No one, I think, will deny that for once the shaft has hit the mark.

+_Weather Rhymes, &c._--The following are very common in Northamptonshire:

+
+ "Fine on Friday, fine on Sunday.
+  Wet on Friday, wet on Sunday."
+
+ "The wind blows cold
+  On Burton Hold (Wold).
+    Can you spell _that_ with four letters?
+    I can spell _it_ with two."

+_Folk Lore in Cambridgeshire_ (Vol. viii., p. 382.).--The custom referred
+to by MR. MIDDLETON, of ringing the church bell early in the morning for
+the gleaners to repair to the fields, and again in the evening for their
+return home, is still kept up not only at Hildersham, but also in most of
+the villages in this neighbourhood. I have heard this "gleaners' bell"
+several times during this present autumn; the object of course being to
+give all parties a fair and equal chance. Upon one occasion, where the
+villages lie rather close together, I heard four of these bells sounding
+their recall from different church towers; and as I was upon an eminence
+from whence I could see the different groups wending their way to their
+respective villages, it formed one of the most striking pastoral pictures I
+have ever witnessed, such, perhaps, as England alone can furnish.

+
+RAPPING NO NOVELTY.
+
+It may be interesting to the believers in modern miracles to learn that at
+all events "rapping" is no new thing. I now send you the account of an
+incident in the sixteenth century, which bears a strong resemblance to some
+of those veracious narrations which have enlightened mankind in the
+nineteenth century.
+
+Rushton Hall, near Kettering in Northamptonshire, was long the residence of
+the ancient and distinguished family of Treshams. In the reign of Queen
+Elizabeth, the mansion was occupied by Sir Thomas Tresham, who was a pedant
+and a fanatic; but who was an important character in his time by reason of
+his great wealth and powerful connexions. There is a lodge at Rushton,
+situate about half a mile from the old hall, now in ruins; but covered all
+over, within and without, with emblems of the Trinity. This lodge is known
+to have been built by Sir Thomas Tresham; but his precise motive for
+selecting this mode of illustrating his favourite doctrine was unknown
+until it appeared from a letter written by himself about the year 1584, and
+discovered in a bundle of books and papers inclosed, since 1605, in a wall
+in the old mansion, and brought to light about twenty years ago. The
+following relation of a "rapping" or "knocking" is extracted from this
+letter:
+
+    "If it be demanded why I labour so much in the Trinity and Passion of
+    Christ to depaint in this chamber, this is the principal instance
+    thereof; That at my last being hither committed[1], and I usually
+    having my servants here allowed me, to read nightly an hour to me after
+    supper, it fortuned that Fulcis, my then servant, reading in the
+    _Christian Resolution_, in the treatise of _Proof that there is a God,
+    &c._, there was upon a wainscot table at that instant three loud knocks
+    {513} (as if it had been with an iron hammer) given; to the great
+    amazing of me and my two servants, Fulcis and Nilkton."

+Minor Notes.
+
+_Bond a Poet, 1642, O.S._--In the _Perfect Diurnall_, March 29, 1642, we
+have the following curious notice:
+
+    "Upon the meeting of the House of Lords, there was complaint made
+    against one Bond, a poet, for making a scandalous letter in the queen's
+    name, sent from the Hague to the king at York. The said Bond attended
+    upon order, and was examined, and found a delinquent; upon which they
+    voted him to stand in the pillory several market days in the new Palace
+    (Yard), Westminster, and other places, and committed him to the
+    Gatehouse, besides a long imprisonment during the pleasure of the
+    house: and they farther ordered that as many of the said letter as
+    could be found should be burnt."
+
+His recantation, which he afterwards made, is in the British Museum.
+
+E. G. BALLARD.
+
+_The late Harvest._--In connexion with the present late and disastrous
+harvest, permit me to contribute a distich current, as an old farmer
+observed to-day, "when I was a boy:"
+
+ "When we carry wheat o' the fourteenth of October,
+  Then every man goeth home sober."
+
+Meaning that the prospect of the "yield" was not good enough to permit the
+labourers to get drunk upon it.
+
+R. C. WARDE.
+
+Kidderminster.
+
+_Misquotation._--In an article entitled "Popular Ballads of the English
+Peasantry," a correspondent of "N. & Q." (Vol. v., p. 603.) quotes as "that
+spirit-stirring stanza of _immortal John_," the lines:
+
+ "Jesus, the name high over all," &c.
+
+These lines were not written by _John_, but by _Charles Wesley_. Here is
+the proof:
+
+1st. A hymn of which the stanza quoted is the first, appears (p. 40.) in
+the _Collection of Hymns_ published by John Wesley in 1779; but in the
+preface he says, "but a small part of these hymns are of my own composing."
+
+2nd. In his _Plain Account of Christian Perfection_, he says:
+
+    "In the year 1749, my brother printed two volumes of _Hymns and Sacred
+    Poems_. As I _did not see them_ before they were published, there were
+    some things in them which I did not approve of; but I quite approved of
+    the main of the hymns on this head."--_Works_, vol. xi. p. 376., 12mo.
+    ed. 1841.
+
+3rd. The lines quoted by your correspondent form the ninth stanza of a hymn
+of twenty-two stanzas (which includes the six in John Wesley's
+_Collection_), written "after preaching (in a church)," and published in
+"_Hymns and Sacred Poems_. In two volumes. By Charles Wesley, M.A., Student
+of Christ Church, Oxford. Bristol: printed and sold by Felix Farley, 1749."
+A copy is in my possession. The hymn is No. 194.; and the stanza referred

+_Reynolds (Sir Joshua's) Baptism._--I have been favoured by the incumbent
+of Plympton S. Maurice with a copy of the following entry in the Register
+of Baptisms of that parish, together with the appended note; which, if the
+fact be not generally known, may be of interest to your correspondent A. Z.
+(Vol. viii., p. 102.) as well as to others among the readers of "N. & Q.":
+
+    "1723. Joseph, son of Samuel Reynolds, clerk, baptised July the 30th."
+
+On another page is the following memorandum:
+
+    "In the entry of baptisms for the year 1723, the person by mistake
+    named _Joseph_, son of Samuel Reynolds, clerk, baptized July 30th, was
+    _Joshua_ Reynolds, the celebrated painter, who died February 23, 1792."
+
+Samuel Reynolds, the father, was master of Plympton Grammar School from
+about 1715 to 1745, in which year he died. During that period his name
+appears once in the parish book, in the year 1742, as "minister for the
+time being" (not incumbent of the parish): the Rev. Geo. Langworthy having
+been the incumbent from 1736 to 1745, both inclusive.
+
+Query, Was Sir Joshua by mistake _baptized Joseph_? or was the mistake made
+after baptism, in _registering the name_?

+
+GRAMMAR IN RELATION TO LOGIC.
+
+Dr. Latham (_Outlines of Logic_, p. 21., 1847, and _English Language_, p.
+510., 2nd edition) defines the conjunction to be a part of speech that
+connects _propositions_, not _words_. His doctrine is so palpably and
+demonstrably false, that I am somewhat at a loss to understand how a man of
+his penetration can be so far deceived by a crotchet as to be blind to the
+host of examples which point to the direct converse of his doctrine. Let
+the learned Doctor try to resolve the sentence, _All men are either
+two-legged, one-legged, or no-legged_, into three constituent propositions.
+It cannot be done; _either_ and _or_ are here conjunctions which connect
+words and not propositions. In the example, _John and James carry a
+basket_, it is of course quite plain that the _logic_ of the matter is that
+_John carries one portion of the basket, and James carries the rest_. But
+to identify these two propositions with the first mentioned, is to confound
+grammar with logic. The former deals with the method of expression, the
+latter with the method of stating (in thought) and syllogising. To take
+another example, _Charles and Thomas stole all the apples_. The fact
+probably was, that Charles' pockets contained some of the apples, and
+Thomas' pockets contained all the rest. But the business of grammar in the
+above sentence is to regulate the _form_ of the expression, not to reason
+upon the _matter_ expressed. A little thought will soon convince any person
+accustomed to these subjects that _conjunctions always connect words, not
+propositions_. The only work in which I leave seen Dr. Latham's fundamental
+error exposed, is in Boole's _Mathematical Analysis of Logic_; the learned
+author, though he seems unsettled on many matters of logic and metaphysics,
+has clearly made up his mind on the point now under discussion. He says:
+
+    "The proposition, every animal is _either_ rational _or_ irrational,
+    cannot be resolved into, _Either_ every animal is rational, _or_ every
+    animal is irrational. The former belong to pure categoricals, to latter
+    to hypotheticals [Query _disjunctives_]. In _singular_ propositions
+    such conversions would seem to be allowable. This animal is _either_
+    rational _or_ irrational, is equivalent to, _Either_ this animal is
+    rational, _or_ it is irrational. This peculiarity of _singular_
+    propositions would almost justify our ranking them, though truly
+    universals, in a separate class, as Ramus and his followers did."--P.
+    59.
+
+This certainly seems unanswerable.
+
+If Dr. Latham is a reader of "N. & Q.," I should be glad if he would give
+his reasons for adhering to his original doctrine in the face of such facts
+as those I have instanced.

+
+THE CORONET [CROWN] OF LLEWELYN AP GRIFFITH, PRINCE OF WALES.
+
+A notice, transferred to _The Times_ of the 5th instant from a recent
+number of _The Builder_, on the shrine of Edward the Confessor, after
+mentioning that "to this shrine Edward I. offered the Scottish regalia and
+the coronation chair, which is still preserved," adds, "Alphonso, about
+1280, offered it the golden coronet of Llewelyn, Prince of Wales, and other
+jewels."
+
+Who was Alphonso? And would the contributor of the notice favour the
+readers of "N. & Q." with the authority _in extenso_ for the offering of
+this coronet?
+
+The period assigned for the offering is certainly too early; Llewelyn ap
+Griffith, "the last sovereign of one of the most ancient ruling families of
+Europe" (_Hist. of England_, by Sir James Mackintosh, vol. ii. p. 254.),
+having been slain at Builth, Dec. 11, 1282. Warrington (_Hist. of. Wales_,
+vol. ii. p. 271.), on the authority of Rymer's _Foedera_, vol. ii. p. 224.,
+says: "Upon stripping Llewelyn there were found his Privy Seal; a paper
+that was filled with dark expressions, and a list of names written in a
+kind of cypher;" omitting, it will be observed, any reference to Llewelyn's
+coronet. That monarch's crown was probably obtained and transmitted to
+Edward I. on the capture, June 21, 1283, or shortly after, of his brother
+David ap Griffith, Lord of Denbigh, who had assumed the Welsh throne on the
+demise of Llewelyn; the Princess Catherine, the daughter and heir of the
+latter, and _de jure_ sovereign Princess of Wales, being then an infant.
+Warrington states (vol. ii. p. 285.) that when David was taken, a relic,
+highly venerated by the Princes of Wales, was found upon him, called
+_Crosseneych_, supposed to be a part of the real cross brought by St. Neots
+into Wales from the Holy Land; and he adds that, besides the above relic,
+which was voluntarily delivered up to Edward by a secretary of the late
+Prince of Wales, "the crown of the celebrated King Arthur, with many
+precious jewels, was about this time presented to Edward," citing as his
+authorities _Annales Waverleienses_, p. 238.; Rymer's _Foedera_, vol. ii.
+p. 247.
+
+There are some particulars of these relics in the _Archaeologia Cambrensis_;
+but neither that periodical, nor the authorities referred to by Warrington,
+are at the moment accessible to me.

+_The Mousehunt._--I should feel much obliged to any reader of "N. & Q." who
+would refer me to any mention of in print, or give me any information from

+called the mousehunt, an animal apparently but little known; it is scarcely
+half the size of the common weasel, and of a pale mouse-colour. It is said
+to be well known in Suffolk, whence, however, after some trouble, I have
+been unsuccessful in obtaining a specimen; young stoats or weasels having
+been sent me instead of it. I could not find a specimen in the British
+Museum. Some years ago I saw two in Glamorganshire; one escaped me; the
+other had been killed by a ferret, but unfortunately I neglected to
+preserve it. Near the same spot last year a pair of them began making their
+nest, but being disturbed by some workmen employed in clearing out the
+drain in which they had ensconced themselves, were lost sight of and
+escaped.
+
+Mr. Colquhoun, in _The Moor and the Loch_, ed. 1851, says:
+
+    "The English peasantry assert that there are two kinds of weasel, one
+    very small, called a 'cane,' or 'the mousekiller.' This idea, I have no
+    doubt, is erroneous, and the 'mousekillers' are only the young ones of
+    the year, numbers of these half-grown weasels appearing in summer and
+    autumn."
+
+The only description I have met with in print is in _Bell's Life_ of Dec.
+7, 1851, where "Scrutator," in No. 15. of his Letters "On the Management of
+Horses, Hounds, &c.," writes:
+
+    "I know only of one species of stoat, but I have certainly seen more
+    than one species of weasel.... There is one species of weasel so small
+    that it can easily follow mice into their holes; and one of these, not
+    a month ago, I watched go into a mouse's hole in an open grass field.
+    Seeing something hopping along in the grass, which I took for a large
+    long-tailed field mouse, I stood still as it was approaching my
+    position, and when within a foot or two of the spot on which I was
+    standing, so that I could have a full view of the animal, a very small
+    weasel appeared, and quickly disappeared again in a tuft of grass. On
+    searching the spot I discovered a mousehole, in which Mr. Weasel had
+    made his exit."

+ALEXANDER CLARK.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 18.)
+
+In communicating a few particulars about Alexander Clark, I must disappoint
+your correspondent PERTHENSIS; _my_ subject answering in no respect to
+Peter Buchan's "drucken dominie," the author of the _Buttery College_.
+Alexander Clark, who has fallen in my way, belongs to the class of "amiable
+enthusiasts;" a character I am somewhat fond of, believing that in any
+pursuit a dash of the latter quality is essential to success.
+
+Clark was by profession a gardener; and as my friends in the north always
+seek to localise their worthies, I venture to assign him to Annandale. My
+first acquaintance with him arose from his {518} _Emblematical
+Representation_ falling into my hands; and, pursuing my inquiries, I found
+this was but one of some half-dozen visionary works from the same pen. In
+his _View of the Glory of the Messiah's Kingdom_, we have the origin of his
+taking upon himself the prophetic character; it is entitled:
+
+    "A Brief Account of an Extraordinary Revelation, and other Things
+    Remarkable, in the Course of God's Dealings with Alexander Clark,
+    Gardener at Dumcrief, near Moffat, Anandale, in the Year 1749."
+
+    "In the month of August, 1749," says he, "at a certain time when the
+    Lord was pleased to chastise me greatly in a bed of affliction, and in
+    the midst of my great trial, it pleased the Almighty God wonderfully to
+    surprise me with a glorious light round about me; and looking up, I saw
+    straight before me a glorious building in the air, as bright and clear
+    as the sun: it was so vastly great, so amiable to behold, so full of
+    majesty and glory, that it filled my heart with wonder and admiration.
+    The place where this sight appeared to me was just over the city of
+    Edinburgh; at the same instant I heard, as it were, the musick bells of
+    the said city ring for joy."
+
+From this period, Clark's character became tinged with that enthusiasm
+which ended in his belief that he was inspired; and that in publishing
+his--
+
+    "Signs of the Times: showing by many infallible Testimonies and Proofs
+    out of the Holy Scripture, that an extraordinary Change is at Hand,
+    even at the very Door,"--
+
+he was merely "emitting what he derived directly, by special favour, from
+God!"
+
+    "The Spirit of God," he says on another occasion, "was so sensibly
+    poured out upon me, and to such a degree, that I was thereby made to
+    see things done in secret, and came to find things lost, and knew where
+    to go to find those things which were lost!"
+
+This _second sight_, if I may so call it, set our author upon drawing aside
+the veil from the prophetic writings; and his view of their mystical sense
+is diffused over the indigested and rambling works bearing the following

+
+In his _Address to the Friendly Society of Gardeners_, Clark gives some
+account of his worldly condition; of his early training in religious
+habits; his laborious and industrious devotion to his profession, with
+which he seems to have been greatly enamoured, although poorly paid, and
+often in straits. Subsequently to the great event of his life--his
+vision--our subject appears to have come south, and to have been in the
+employment of Lord Charles Spencer at Hanworth in Middlesex. Like most of
+the prophets of his day, Clark was haunted with the belief that the last
+day was approaching; and considering himself called upon to announce to his
+acquaintance and neighbours that this "terrible judgment of God was at
+hand," he got but contempt and ridicule for his pains:--more than that,
+indeed, for those raising the cry that he was a madman, they procured the
+poor man's expulsion from his situation. Under all these discouraging
+circumstances, he maintained his firm conviction of the approaching end of
+time: so strongly was his mind bent in this direction, that "I opened the
+window of the house where I then was," says he, "thinking to see Christ
+coming in the clouds!"
+
+    "I was three days and three nights that I could not eat, drink, nor
+    sleep; and when I would close my eyes, I felt something always touching
+    me; at length I heard a voice sounding in mine ears, saying 'Sleep not,
+    lest thou sleep the sleep of death:' and at that I looked for my Bible,
+    and at the first opening of it I read these words, which were sent with
+    power, 'To him that overcometh,'" &c.
+
+Poor Clark, like his prototype Thomas Newans, laboured hard to obtain the
+sanction of the hierarchy to his predictions:
+
+    "I desire no man," he says, "to believe me without proof; and if the
+    Reverend the Clergy would think this worth their perusal, I would very
+    willingly hear what they had to say either for or against."
+
+The orthodoxy of the "Reverend the Clergy" was not, however, to be moved;
+and Alexander Clark and his books now but serve the end of pointing a
+moral. With more real humility and less presumption, there was much that
+was good about him; but letting his heated fancies get the better of the
+little judgment he possessed, our _amiable enthusiast_ became rather a
+stumbling-block than light to his generation.

+AMCOTTS PEDIGREE.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 387.)
+
+Although I may not be able to furnish your inquirer with full pedigree of
+this family, my Notes may prove useful in making it out.
+
+From a settlement after marriage in 1663, of Vincent Amcotts of Laughton,
+in the county of Lincoln, gentleman, I find his wife's name to be Amy; but
+who she was is not disclosed. It appears she survived her husband, and was
+his {519} widow and relict and executrix living in 1687. Their eldest
+daughter Elizabeth married John Sheffield, Esq., of Croxby, and I have
+noted three children of theirs, viz. Vincent, who died s.p.; Christopher,
+who, with Margaret, his wife, in 1676 sold the Croxby estate; and Sarah.
+What farther as to this branch does not appear, although my next Vincent
+Amcotts may be, and probably was, a descendant. This Vincent Amcotts was of
+Harrington, in the county of Lincoln, Esq.; and who, from his marriage
+settlement dated May 16 and 17, 1720, married Elizabeth, the third of the
+four daughters of John Quincy of Aslackby, in the county of Lincoln,
+gentleman: and I find the issue of this marriage to be Charles Amcotts of
+Kettlethorpe, in the county of Lincoln, Esq., who died in 1777 s.p.; Anna
+Maria, whom married Wharton Emerson; Elizabeth, who died previous to her
+brother Charles; and Frances, who married the Rev. Edward Buckworth of
+Washingborough, in the county of Lincoln, Clerk, Doctor of Laws.
+
+After the death of Charles Amcotts, we find Wharton Emerson at
+Kettlethorpe, having assumed the name of Amcotts: he was created a baronet
+in 1796, the title being limited in remainder to the eldest son of his
+daughter Elizabeth. Sir Wharton Amcotts married a second wife, Amelia
+Campbell, by whom he had a daughter, but what became of her does not
+appear. Elizabeth, the daughter and heir of Sir Wharton Amcotts by his
+first wife Anna Maria Amcotts, married in 1780 John Ingilby, Esq., of
+Ripley, who in the next year was created a baronet: and they appear to have
+had eleven children, viz. John Charles Amcotts, the present Sir William
+Amcotts Ingelby, in whom both titles are vested, Elizabeth, Augusta, Anna
+Maria, and Ann; which last three died in infancy; Diana, Vincent Bosville,
+who died at a year old, and Julia and Constance. Thus far my Notes extend.

+SIR RALPH WINWOOD.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 272.)
+
+I have an original letter of Sir Ralph Winwood's in French, addressed "A
+Monsieur Mons^r Charles Huyghens, Secretaire du Conseil d'estat de
+Mess^{rs} les Estats a la Haye," which, as it may possibly be interesting
+to your correspondent H. P. W. R., I here transcribe:
+
+    "Mons^r.--Vos dernieres m'ont rendu tesmoignage de vostre bonn'
+    affection en mon endroict. Car je m'asseure que vous n'eussiez jamais
+    recommende vostre filz a ma protection si mon nom n'eust este
+    enregistre au nombre de vos meilleurs et plus affectionnes amys. Je
+    m'en vay, dans peu de jours, trouver Sa Ma^{te} en son retour d'Escoce,
+    et j'espere sur la fin du moys de 7^{bre} de me rendre a ma maison a
+    Londres. Sur ce temps-la, s'il vous plaira d'envoyer v^{re} filz vers
+    moy, il sera le bien venu. Son traittement rendra tesmoinage de
+    l'estime que je fais de vostre amitie. De vous envoyer des nouvelles,
+    ce seroyt d'envoyer _Noctuas Athenas_. Tout est coy icy. La mort de
+    Concini a rendu la France heureuse. Mais l'Italie est en danger d'estre
+    exposee a la tirannie d'Espagne. Je vous baise les mains, et suis,
+    Mons^r, vostre plus affectionne servit^r,
+
+              RODOLPHE WINWOOD.
+     "De Londres, le 7^{me} de Juillet."
+
+The year is not indicated, but the allusion to the death of Concini (the
+celebrated Marechal d'Ancre, who was assassinated by order of Louis XIII.)
+proves that this letter was written in 1617, and very shortly before the
+death of the writer, which occurred on the 27th of October in that year.
+
+M. Charles Huyghens, to whom the letter is addressed, was probably the
+father of Constantine Huyghens, the Dutch poet-politician, who was
+secretary and privy counsellor to the Stadtholders Frederick Henry, and
+William I. and II., and who, not improbably, was the son here mentioned as
+recommended to the protection of Sir R. Winwood, and who, at that date,
+would have been twenty-one years of age.
+
+Constantine was himself the father of the still more celebrated Christian
+Huyghens, the astronomer and mathematician. The seal on the letter, which
+is in excellent preservation, is a shield bearing the following arms: 1.
+and 4. a cross botonne, 2. and 3. three fleurs-de-lis.

+TRENCH ON PROVERBS.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 387.)
+
+I hope that neither Mr. Trench nor his critic E. M. B. will consider me
+interfering by my making an observation or two on the correct rendering of
+the latter part of Ps. cxxvii. 2. Mr. Trench is perfectly correct by
+supposing an ellipsis in the sentence alluded to, and the words
+
+  [Hebrew: YTN LYDYDW SHN']
+
+should have been translated, "He will give to his beloved whilst he [the
+beloved] is asleep." The translation of the authorised version of that
+sacred affirmation is unintelligible. Mr. Trench has the support of
+Luther's version, which has the sentence thus:
+
+ "Seinen Freunden giebt er es schlafend."
+
+The celebrated German Jewish translator of the Old Testament agrees with
+Mr. Trench. The following is Dr. Zunz's rendering:
+
+ "Das giebt er seinem Liebling im Schlaf."
+
+{520}
+
+The following is the Hebrew annotation in the far-famed Moses Mendelsohn's
+edition of the Book of Psalms:
+
+  [Hebrew: YTNHW HQB-H LYDYDW 'SHR HW' CHPTS BW B`WDNW YSHN WBLY MRCHH:]
+
+"The holy and blessed One will give it to his beloved, in whom He delights,
+whilst he is yet asleep and without fatigue."
+
+I need not adduce passages in the Hebrew Psalter, where such ellipsises do
+occur. E. M. B. evidently knows his Hebrew Bible well, and a legion of
+examples will immediately occur to him.
+
+MOSES MARGOLIOUTH.
+
+Wybunbury, Nantwich.
+
+If E. M. B. will refer to Hengstenberg's _Commentary on the Psalms_, he
+will find that Mr. Trench is not without authority for his translation of
+Ps. cxxvii. 2. I quote the passage from Thompson and Fairbairn's
+translation, in Clark's _Theological Library_, vol. iii. p. 449.:
+
+    "[Hebrew: SHN'] for [Hebrew: SHNH] is not the accusative, but the
+    preposition is omitted, as is frequently the case with words that are
+    in constant use. For example, [Hebrew: BQR, `RB], to which [Hebrew:
+    SHNH] here is poetically made like. The exposition _He gives sleep_,
+    instead of _in sleep_, gives an unsuitable meaning. For the subject is
+    not about the sleep, but the gain."

+ON PALINDROMES.
+
+(Vol vii., p. 178. &c.)
+
+Several of your correspondents have offered Notes upon these singular
+compositions, and AGRICOLA DE MONTE adduces
+
+ "[Greek: NIPSON ANOMEMATA, ME MONAN OPSIN]"
+
+as an example. As neither he nor MR. ELLACOMBE give it as found _out_ of
+this country, allow me to say that it was to be seen on a benitier in the
+church of Notre Dame at Paris. If it were not for the substitution of the
+adjective [Greek: MONAN] for the adverb [Greek: MONON], the line would be
+one of the best specimens of the recurrent order.
+
+I notice that a correspondent (Vol. vii., p. 336.) describes the Palindrome
+as being universally _sotadic_. Now, this term was only intended to apply
+to the early samples of this fanciful species of verse in Latin, the
+production Sotades, a Roman poet, 250 B.C. The lines given by BOEOTICUS
+(Vol. vi., p. 209.),
+
+ "Roma tibi subito motibus ibit amor?"
+
+owe their authorship to his degraded Muse, and many others which would but
+pollute your pages.
+
+The hexameter "Sacrum pingue," &c. given by [Omega]. [Phi]. (Vol. vi., p.
+36.), is to be found in Misson's _Voyage to Italy_, copied from an old
+cloister wall of Santa Maria Novella at Florence. These ingenious verses
+are Leoline[2], and it is noted that "the sacrifice of Cain was not a
+living victim."
+
+I have seen it stated that the English language affords but _one_ specimen
+of the palindrome, while the Latin and Greek have many. The late Dr. Winter
+Hamilton, the author of _Nugae Literariae_, gives this solitary line, which
+at the best is awkwardly fashioned:
+
+ "Lewd did I live & evil did I dwel."
+
+Is any other known?
+
+Some years since I fell in with that which, after all, is the most
+wonderful effort of the kind; at least I can conceive of nothing at all
+equal to it.
+
+It is to be found in a poem called [Greek: Poiema Karkinekon], written in
+ancient Greek by a modern Greek called Ambrosius, printed in Vienna in
+1802, and dedicated to the Emperor Alexander. It contains 455 lines, every
+one of which is literal palindrome.
+
+I have some hesitation in giving even a quotation; and yet, notwithstanding
+the forced character of some of the lines, your readers will not fail to
+admire the classic elegance of this remarkable composition.
+
+ "[Greek: Eu Elisabet, Alla t' ebasileue.]

+
+_The Claymore_ (Vol. viii., p. 365.).--I believe there is no doubt that the
+true Scottish claymore is the heavy two-handed sword, examples of which are
+preserved at Dumbarton Castle, and at {521} Hawthornden, and respectively
+attributed to William Wallace, and to Robert the Bruce. The latter is a
+very remarkable specimen, the grip being formed either of the tusk of a
+walrus or of a small elephant, considerably curved; and the guard is
+constructed of two iron bars, terminated by trefoils, and intersecting each
+other at right angles. The blade is very ponderous, and shorter than usual
+in weapons of this description.
+
+The claymore of modern times is a broadsword, double or single-edged, and
+provided with a basket hilt of form peculiar to Scotland, though the idea
+was probably derived from Spain. Swords with basket hilts were commonly
+used by the English cavalry in the reigns of Charles I. and II., but they
+are always of a different type from the Scotch, though affording as
+complete a protection to the hand. I possess some half-dozen examples, some
+from Gloucestershire, which are of the times of the civil wars. There are
+many swords said to have been the property of Oliver Cromwell; one is in
+the United Service Museum: all that I have seen are of this form.

+_Lewis and Sewell Families_ (Vol. viii., p. 388.).--Your correspondent may
+obtain, in respect to the Lewis family, much information in the _Life and
+Correspondence of Matthew Gregory Lewis_, two vols. 8vo., London, 1839,
+particularly at pp. 6. and 7. of vol. i. He will there find that Matthew
+Lewis, Esq., who was Deputy Secretary of War for twenty-six years, married
+Frances Sewell, youngest daughter of the Right Hon. Sir Thos. Sewell; that
+Lieut.-Gen. Whitelocke and Gen. Sir Thos. Brownrigg, G.C.B., married the
+other two daughters of Sir Thos. Sewell; and that Matthew Gregory Lewis,
+who wrote the _Castle Spectre_, &c., was son of Matthew Lewis, Esq., the
+Deputy Secretary of War.
+
+With regard to the Sewell family. The Right Hon. Sir Thos. Sewell, who was
+Master of the Rolls for twenty years, died in 1784; and there is, I
+believe, a very correct account of his family connexions in the
+_Gentleman's Magazine_ for 1784, p. 555. He died intestate, and his eldest
+son, Thos. Bailey Heath Sewell, succeeded to his estate of Ottershaw and
+the manors of Stannards and Fords in Chobham, Surrey. This gentleman was a
+magistrate for the county of Surrey; and in the spring of 1794, when this
+country was threatened by both foreign and domestic enemies, he became
+Lieut.-Col. of a regiment of Light Dragoons (fencibles), raised in Surrey
+(at Richmond) by George Lord Onslow, Lord-Lieut. of the county, in which he
+served six years, till the Government not requiring their services they
+were disbanded. Lieut.-Col. Sewell died in 1803, and was buried in the
+church at Chobham, where there is a monument to his memory. Of his family
+we have not farther knowledge than that he had a son, Thos. Bermingham
+Heath Sewell, who was a cornet in the 32nd Light Dragoons, and lieutenant
+in the 4th Dragoon Guards during the war of the French Revolution. The
+_History and Antiquities of Surrey_, by the Rev. Owen Manning and Wm. Bray,
+in three vols. folio, 1804, has in the third volume much concerning the

+
+_Pharaoh's Ring_ (Vol. viii., p. 416.).--The mention of the ring conferred
+on, or confided to, Joseph by the Pharaoh of Egypt, as stated in Genesis
+xli. 42., reminds me of a ring being shown to me some years ago, which was
+believed by its then possessor to be the identical ring, or at all events a
+signet ring of the very Pharaoh who promoted Joseph to the chief office in
+his kingdom.
+
+It was a ring of pure gold, running through a hole in a massive wedge of
+gold, about the size, as far as I recollect, of a moderate-sized walnut. On
+one of its faces was cut the hieroglyphic (inclosed as usual with the names
+of Egyptian kings in an oval), as I was assured, of the king, the friend of
+Joseph, as was generally supposed by the readers of hieroglyphics: I
+pretend to no knowledge of them myself.
+
+The possessor of the ring, who showed it to me, was Mr. Sams, one of the
+Society of Friends, a bookseller at Darlington. Since railroads have {522}
+whirled me past that town, I have lost my means of periodical communication
+with him. He had, not long before I saw him last, returned from the Holy
+Land, where he assured me he had visited every spot that could be
+identified mentioned in the New Testament. He had also been some time in
+Egypt, and had brought home a great quantity of Egyptian antiquities. The
+lesser ones he had in the first floor of a carver and gilder's in Great
+Queen Street, between the Freemason's Tavern and Lincoln's Inn Fields. He
+was then anxious that these should be bought for the British Museum, and I
+think that at his request I wrote to the Earl of Aberdeen to mention this,
+and that the answer was that there was already so large a collection in the
+Museum, that more, as they must most of them be duplicates, would be of no
+use.
+
+What has become of them I know not. I was told that a number of his larger
+antiquities, stone and marble, were for some time placed on Waterloo
+Bridge, that being a very quiet place, where people might view them without
+interruption. I did not happen to be in London that season, and therefore
+did not see them.

+    [The whole of Mr. Sams's collection of Egyptian antiquities were bought

+    to his previous assemblage of similar monuments, and are placed by him,
+    with a very valuable collection of mediaeval antiquities, in the
+    Egyptian Museum, 8. Colquitt Street, Liverpool. The small charge of
+    sixpence for each visit opens the entire collection to the public; but
+    it is a lamentable fact, that the curiosity or patriotism of the
+    inhabitants does not cover Mr. Mayer's expenses by a large annual

+_"Land of Green Ginger"_ (Vol. viii., p. 227.).--The authority which I am
+able to afford MR. RICHARDSON is simply the tradition of the place, which I
+had so frequently heard that I could scarcely doubt the truth of it; this I
+intended to be deduced, when I said I did not recollect that the local
+histories gave any derivation, and that it was the one "generally received
+by the inhabitants."
+
+To any mind the solution brought forward by MR. BUCKTON (Vol. viii., p.
+303.) carries the greatest amount of probability with it of any yet
+proposed; and should any of your correspondents have the opportunity of
+looking through the unpublished history of Hull by the Rev. De la Pryme,
+"collected out of all the records, charters, deeds, mayors' letters, &c. of
+the said town," and now placed amongst the Lansdowne MSS. in the British
+Museum, I am inclined to think it is very likely it would be substantiated.
+
+In Mr. Frost's valuable work on the town, which by the way proves it to
+have been "a place of opulence and note at a period long anterior to the
+date assigned to its existence by historians," he differs materially from
+MR. RICHARDSON, in considering that Hollar's plate was "engraved about the
+year 1630," not in 1640 as he states. There is also another which appeared
+between the time of Hollar and Gent, in Meisner's _Libellus novus politicus
+emblematicus Civitatum_, published in 1638, which though not "remarkable
+for accuracy of design," is well worthy of notice. It bears the title "Hull
+in Engellandt," and also the following curious inscriptions, which I copy
+for the interest of your readers:
+
+    "Carcer nonnunquam firmum propugnaculum. Noctua clausa manet in carcere
+    firmo; Insidias volucrum vetat enim cavea."

+such machine. A number {523} of persons being employed, another puts his
+spoke in, and assists or hinders them as he pleases. Can a _stick_ be
+considered a _spoke_ before it is put into its place, in the nave of the
+wheel at least? We often hear the observation, "Then I put in my spoke,"

+_Passage in Virgil_ (Vol. viii., p. 270.).--On this part of Johnson's

+
+    "I confess I do not see the object, nor indeed the meaning, of this
+    allusion."
+
+The allusion is to Eclogue viii. 43.:
+
+ "Nunc scio, quid sit Amor: duris in cotibus illum
+  Aut Tmarus, aut Rhodope, aut extremi Garamantes,
+  Nec generis nostri puerum nec sanguinis, edunt."
+
+As the shepherd in Virgil had found Love to be not the gentle being he
+expected, but of a savage race--"a native of the rocks"--so had Johnson
+found a patron to be "one who looked with unconcern on a man struggling for
+life," instead of a friend to render assistance.
+
+Supposing Johnson's estimate of Lord Chesterfield's conduct to be correct,
+I cannot help thinking the allusion to be eminently happy.

+_To speak in Lutestring_ (Vol. viii., p. 202.).--_Lutestring_, or

+phrase may be explained by Shakspeare's _Love's Labour's Lost_, Act V. Sc.
+8.:
+

+_Definition of a Proverb_ (Vol. viii., p. 243.)--C. M. INGLEBY inquires the

+
+    "To Lord John Russell are we indebted for that admirable definition of
+    a proverb: 'The wisdom,' &c."--See Notes to Rogers's _Italy_, 1848.

+_Ireland a bastinadoed Elephant_ (Vol. viii., p. 366.).--I venture to
+suggest whether this expression may not be something more than a bull, as
+[Old English W]. inclines to call it. If any one will look at a physical
+map of Ireland at some little distance, a very slight exercise of the
+"mind's eye" will serve to call up in the figure of that island the shape
+of a creature kneeling and in pain. Lough Foyle forms the eye; the coast
+from Bengore Head to Benmore Head the nose or snout; Belfast Lough the
+mouth; the coast below Donaghdee the chin; County Wexford the knees. The
+rest of the outline, according to the imagination of the observer, may
+assume that of an elephant, or something, perhaps, "very like a whale."
+Some fanciful observation of this kind may have suggested the otherwise
+unaccountable simile to Curran.

+
+_Ennui_ (Vol. vii., p. 478.; Vol. viii., p. 377.).--The meaning of this
+admirable word is best gleaned from its root, viz. _nuit_. It is somewhat
+equivalent to the Greek [Greek: agrupnia], and signifies the sense of
+weariness with doing nothing. It gives the lie to the _dolce far niente_:
+vide Ps. cxxx. 6., and Job vii. 3, 4. _Ennui_ is closely allied to our
+_annoy_ or _annoyance_, through _noceo_, _noxa_, and their probable root
+_nox_, [Greek: nux.] It is precisely equivalent to the Latin _taedium_,
+which may be derived from _taeda_, which in the plural means a torch, and
+through that word may have a side reference to night, the _taedarum horae_:
+cf. Ps. xci. 5. The subject is worthy of strict inquiry on the part of
+comparative philologists.

+the _Bell Savage_.
+
+This is not the fact. The Bell Savage on Ludgate Hill was originally kept
+by one Isabella Savage. A cotemporary historian, writing of one of the
+leaders in a rebellion in the days of Queen {524} Mary, says, "He then sat

+_Encore_ (Vol. viii., p. 387.).--If A. A. knows the meaning of "this French
+word" I am a little surprised at his Query. Perhaps he means to ask why a
+French word should be used? It probably was first used at concerts and
+operas (_ancora_ in Italian), where the performers and even the
+performances were foreign, and so became the fashion. Pope says:
+
+ "To the same notes thy sons shall hum or snore,
+  And all thy yawning daughters cry _encore_."
+
+It was not, I think, in use so early as Shakspeare's time, who makes Bottom
+anticipate that "the Duke shall say, Let him roar _again_, let him roar
+_again_," where the jingle of "encore" would have been obvious. It is
+somewhat curious that where we use the French word _encore_, the French
+audiences use the Latin word "bis."
+

+
+_"Hauling over the Coals"_ (Vol. viii., p. 125.).--This saying I conceive
+to have arisen from the custom prevalent in olden times, when every Baron
+was supreme in his own castle, of extracting money from the unfortunate
+Jews who happened to fall into his power, by means of torture. The most
+usual _modus operandi_ seems to have been roasting the victims over a slow
+fire. Every one remembers the treatment of Isaac of York by Front-de-Boeuf,
+so vividly described in Sir Walter Scott's _Ivanhoe_. Although the practice
+has long been numbered amongst the things that were, the fact of its having
+once obtained is handed down to posterity in this saying, as when any one
+is taken to task for his shortcomings he is _hauled over the coals_.

+
+_The Words "Cash" and "Mob"_ (Vol. viii., p. 386.).--MR. FOX was right:
+_mob_ is not genuine English--teste Dean Swift! A lady who was well known
+to Swift used to say that the greatest scrape she ever got into with him
+was by using the word _mob_. "Why do you say that?" he exclaimed in a
+passion; "never let me hear you say that again!" "Why, sir," she asked,
+"what am I to say?" "The rabble, to be sure," answered he. (Sir W. Scott's
+_Works of Swift_, vol. ix.) The word appears to have been introduced about
+the commencement of the eighteenth century, by a process to which we owe
+many other and similar barbarisms--"beauties introduced to supply the want
+of wit, sense, humour, and learning." In a paper of _The Tatler_, No. 230.,
+much in the spirit, and possibly from the pen, of Swift, complaint is made
+of the "abbreviations and elisions" which had recently been introduced, and
+a humorous example of them is given. By these, the author adds,
+
+    "Consonants of most obdurate sound are joined together without one
+    softening vowel to intervene; and all this only to make one syllable of
+    two, directly contrary to the example of the Greeks and Romans, and a
+    natural tendency towards relapsing into barbarity. And this is still
+    more visible in the next refinement, which consists in pronouncing the
+    first syllable in a word that has many, and dismissing the rest. Thus
+    we cram one syllable and cut off the rest, as the owl fattened her mice
+    after she had bit off their legs to prevent their running away; and if
+    ours be the same reason for maiming our words, it will certainly answer
+    the end, for I am sure no other nation will desire to borrow them."
+
+I have only to add (see _Blackwood's Magazine_, vol. ii., 1842) that "mob
+is _mobile_."
+
+_Cash_ appears to be from the French _caisse_, a chest, cash.

+
+_Cash_ is from the French _caisse_, the moneychest where _specie_ was kept.
+So _caissier_ became "cashier," and _specie_ "cash."
+
+_Mob_, Swift tells us (_Polite Conversation_, Introd.), is a contraction
+for _mobile_.

+
+_Ampers &._ (Vol. ii., pp. 230. 284.; Vol. viii. _passim_).--MR. INGLEBY
+may well ask what "and-per-se-and" can mean. The fact is, this is itself a
+corruption. In old spelling-books, after the twenty-six letters it was
+customary to print the two following symbols with their explanations
+
+  &c. et cetera.
+  & (per se), and.
+
+Children were taught to read the above "et-cee, et cetera" and "et-per-se,
+and." Such, at least, was the case in a Dublin school, some ninety years
+ago, where my informant, now many years deceased, was educated. As _se_ was
+not there pronounced like _cee_, but like _say_, there was no danger of
+confounding the two names. In England, where a different pronunciation of
+the Latin word prevailed, such confusion would be apt to occur; and hence,
+probably, English teachers substituted _and_ for _et_; from which, in
+course of time, the other corruptions mentioned by MR. LOWER were
+developed.

+_The Keate Family, of the Hoo, Herts_ (Vol. viii., p. 293.).--The following
+account is taken from Burke's _Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies of England_,
+Lond. 1841:
+
+    "William Keate of Hagbourne, in Berkshire, left five sons. The second
+    son, Ralph Keate of Whaddon, in Wiltshire, married Anne, daughter of
+    John Clarke, Esq., of Ardington, in Berkshire, and had with other issue
+    Gilbert Keate, Esq., of London, who married, first, John, daughter of
+    Niclolas Turbervile, Esq. of Crediton, in Devon, and, secondly,
+    Elizabeth, daughter of William Armstrong, Esq., of Remston, Notts, and
+    by her had another son, Jonathan Keate, Esq., of the Hoo, in the county
+    of Hertford, which estate he acquired with his first wife, Susannah
+    daughter of William, and sister and heir of Thomas Hoo, of the Hoo and
+    Kimpton, both in Hertfordshire. Mr. Keate was created a baronet by King
+    Charles II., 12th June, 1660. Sir Jonathan was sheriff of the county of
+    Hertford, 17 Charles II., and knight of the same shire in Parliament,
+    in the thirtieth of the same reign. By his first wife he had issue,
+    Gilbert Hoo, his heir, Jonathan, Susan, Elizabeth: all died _sine
+    prole_. He married, secondly, Susanna, daughter of John Orlebar,
+    citizen of London, but by her had no issue. He died 17th September,
+    1700. The baronetcy became extinct in the person of Sir William Keate,
+    D.D., who died 6th March, 1757."

+
+_Marriage of Cousins_ (Vol. viii., p. 387.).--If there is any foundation
+for such a statement as is contained in the Query of J. P. relative to the
+marriage of cousins, it consists rather in the marriage of first cousins
+once removed than of second cousins. It will be seen that the latter
+relationship belongs to the same generation, but it is not so with the
+former, which partakes more of the nature of uncle and aunt with nephew and
+niece.

+
+There is no legal foundation for the statement that marriage with a second
+cousin is valid, and with a first cousin invalid. The following quotation
+from Burn's _Ecc. Law_ by Phill., vol. ii. p. 449., will probably be
+considered to explain the matter:
+
+    "By the civil law first cousins are allowed to marry, but by the canon
+    law both first and second cousins (in order to make dispensations more
+    frequent and necessary) are prohibited; therefore, when it is vulgarly
+    said that first cousins may marry, but second cousins cannot, probably
+    this arose by confounding these two laws, for first cousins may marry
+    by the civil law, and second cousins cannot by the canon law."

+_"When the Maggot bites"_ (Vol. viii., pp. 244. 304. 353.).--Another

+    "The two principal qualifications (says he) of a fanatic preacher are,
+    his inward light, and his head full of _maggots_; and the two different
+    fates of his writings are to be burnt or worm-eaten."
+
+The word _maggot_ is sometimes used for the whim or crotchet itself; thus
+Butler:
+
+ "To reconcile our late dissenters,
+  Our brethren though by different venters;
+  Unite them and their different _maggots_,
+  As long and short sticks are in faggots."--_Hudibras_, part III. canto 2.

+
+_"Salus populi," &c._ (Vol. viii., p. 410.).--The saying "Salus populi

+Legibus_, III. 3. It is made one of the duties of the consuls, the supreme
+magistrates, to regard the safety of the state as their highest rule of
+conduct:
+
+    "Regio imperio duo sunto; iique praeeundo, judicando, consulendo
+    Praetores, Judices, Consules appellantor. Militiae summum jus habento,
+    nemini parento: _ollis salus populi suprema lex esto_."
+
+The allusion appears to be to the formula used by the senate for conferring
+supreme power on the consuls in cases of emergency: "Dare operam, ne quid
+respublica detrimenti caperet." (See Sallust, _Bell. Cat._ c. 29.)
+
+L.

+_Buckle_ (Vol. viii., p. 304.).--This word is in common use by the artizans
+who work upon sheet-iron, to denote the curl which a sheet of iron acquires

+French _boucle_, a curl. The shoe-buckle has got its name from its curved
+form. In the days in which every man in this country, who was in easy
+circumstances, wore a wig, it was well known that to put a wig in _buckle_,
+meant to arrange its curls in due form.

+From the captain, after a time, the term descended to all the little

+expressions (often very slang ones) used as in the army. A lady, without
+hearing anything to shock "ears polite," might listen to the talk of a mess
+table, and be unable to understand clearly in what the conversation
+consisted. "He is gone to the bad"--meaning, he is ruined. "A wigging from

+
+_Sangaree_ (Vol. iii., p. 141.).--I take it that the word ought to be
+spelled _sansgris_, being derived from the French words _sans_, without,
+and _gris_, tipsy, meaning a beverage that would not make tipsy. I have
+been a good deal in the French island of Martinique, and they use the term
+frequently in this sense as applied to a beverage made of white wine ("Vin
+de Grave"), syrup, water, and nutmeg with a small piece of fresh lime-skin
+hanging over the edge of the glass. A native of Martinique gave me this as
+the derivation of the word. The beverage ought not to be stirred after the
+nutmeg is put in it, as the fastidious say it would spoil the flavour.

+_Point of Etiquette_ (Vol. viii., p. 386.).--The title _Miss_, without the

+assume nor give to his daughter the titles to which they are only
+expectants. The matter becomes evident, if you test the rule by a peerage
+instead of a squirage. Even the eldest daughter of a baronet or landed
+gentleman loses her title of Miss, when her brother succeeds to the
+representation, provided he have a daughter to claim the title.

+
+The proposed derivation of _till_, from _to-while_, is not new; but still
+clearly mistaken, inasmuch as the word _till_ is found in Scotch, Swedish,
+Norwegian, Danish, and others of the family. A word thus compounded would
+be of less general use. Besides which, _to-while_ would scarcely produce

+NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.
+
+Dr. Lardner has just published the third and concluding course of his
+_Handbook of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy_. The subjects treated of in
+the present volume are _Meteorology and Astronomy_, and they are
+illustrated with thirty-seven lithographic plates, and upwards of two
+hundred engravings on wood. The work was undertaken with the very popular
+object of supplying the means of acquiring a competent knowledge of the
+methods and results of the physical sciences, without any unusual
+acquaintance with mathematics; and in the methods of demonstration and
+illustration of this series of treatises, that principle has as far as
+possible, been adopted so that by means of the present volumes, persons who
+have not even a superficial knowledge of geometry and algebra may yet
+acquire with great facility a considerable acquaintance with the sciences
+of which they treat. The present volume contains a very elaborate index,
+which, {528} combined with the analytical tables of contents, give to the
+entire series all the usefulness of a compendious encyclopaedia of natural
+philosophy and astronomy.
+
+_Willich's Income Tax Tables, Fourth Edition, 1853-1860_, price _One
+Florin_, show at one view the amount of duty at the various rates fixed by
+the late act, and are accompanied by a variety of statistical information,
+tending to show that the wealth of the nation has increased in as great, if
+not a greater, ratio, than the population. The price at which the work is
+issued serves to lead our attention to a little pamphlet, published at
+sixpence, or 25 _mils_, by Mr. Robert Mears, entitled _Decimal Coinage
+Tables for simplifying and facilitating the Introduction of the proposed
+new Coinage_.
+
+_The Ecclesiastical History of England and Normandy by Ordericus Vitalis,
+translated with Notes, and the Introduction of Guizot_, by Thomas
+Forrester, M.A. Vol. I., is a new volume of the interesting Series of
+Translations of the early _Church Historians of England_ publishing by Mr.
+Bohn, to which we propose calling the especial attention of our readers at
+some future period. The importance which our French neighbours attach to
+the writings of Ordericus Vitalis is shown by the fact that the French
+Historical Society, after publishing a translation, are now issuing an
+edition of the original text, from a laborious collation of the best MSS.,
+under the editorship of M. Auguste le Prevost. The present translation is
+based upon that edition.
+
+We have on several occasions called the attention of our readers to the
+Collection of Proclamations in the possession of the Society of
+Antiquaries, and to the endeavours making by that learned body to secure as
+complete a series as possible of these valuable but hitherto little used
+materials for English History. Some contributions towards this object have,
+we believe, been the results of our notices; and we have now to state, that
+at the opening meeting on Thursday the 17th, it was announced that William
+Salt, Esq., F.S.A., had presented to the library two volumes of
+Proclamations of the reigns of Elizabeth and James I. Great as is the
+pecuniary value of this munificent donation, it is far exceeded by its
+importance in filling up a large gap in the existing Series. A _Catalogue
+Raisonnee_ of the whole collection is in preparation by Robert Lemon, Esq.,
+of the State Paper Office, a gentleman well qualified for the task, and its
+early publication may, we trust, be received as an evidence of the
+beneficial influence which the Society of Antiquaries is hereafter destined
+to exercise on the historical literature of England.

+BOHN'S BRITISH CLASSICS.--Under the above Title is this Day commenced a New
+Series (which has long been in preparation), uniform in Size and Price with
+the Standard Library. It will comprise full and complete Editions of the
+great Authors of our Literature, including especially those which at
+present exist only in scarce or expensive Editions. Among the early Volumes
+will be GIBBON'S DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, with VARIORUM NOTES,
+comprising not only all those given in the Original Quarto Edition, but
+also the Notes of Guizot, Wenck, and other Foreign Editors, as well as
+whatever has been derived from the later Researches of Niebuhr, Layard, &c.
+A Portrait of the Author and Plates, whenever essential as Illustrations,
+will be added, on the same plan as the recent Edition of SOUTHEY'S COWPER
+published in the STANDARD LIBRARY.
+
+Although it is deemed expedient to enter on a New Series under the Title of
+BRITISH CLASSICS, to enable the Publisher, without farther delay, to
+fructify a long cherished scheme, the Standard, Scientific, Antiquarian,
+Illustrated, Classical, Philological, and Ecclesiastical Libraries will be
+continued with undiminished attention.

+
+    "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.

+
+On Thursday, the 5th of January, 1854, will be published, price Twopence,
+the First of a Series of Works, entitled ORR'S CIRCLE OF THE SCIENCES;
+consisting of Short Treatises on the Fundamental Principles and
+Characteristic Features of Scientific and Practical Pursuits. With Numerous
+Illustrative Engravings on Wood.
+
+MESSRS. W. S. ORR & CO. have to announce the Early Publication, in Weekly
+Numbers, of a Series of Short Treatises, which will include every useful
+and attractive section of human acquirement, whether scientific, practical,
+or descriptive; and which will be issued at a price so moderate as to place
+them within the reach of every member of the community.
+
+Although every subject will be treated in a philosophic spirit, yet it will
+not be forgotten that the work is designed for popular use; and therefore
+the Editor and the various Contributors will endeavour to clothe the whole
+Series, and the Scientific Treatises especially, in simple language, so as
+to render them easy introductions to practical studies.
+
+To carry the design into effect, assistance has been obtained from eminent
+scientific men: and the Editor has the satisfaction of announcing among the
+Contributors to the first year's volumes the names of Professor Owen, of
+the Royal College of Surgeons; Sir William Jardine, Bart.; Professors
+Ansted and Tennant, of King's College; the Rev. Walter Mitchell, of St.
+Bartholomew's Hospital; and Professor Young, Examiner in Mathematics at the
+University of London. Every confidence, therefore, may be placed in the
+publication, as regards its soundness of principle, its extent of
+information, and its accordance with the results of the latest researches
+and discoveries.
+
+During the first year either three or four volumes will be completed. The
+respective subjects will not be issued in consecutive weeks; but the paging
+of each series will be continuous:--so that the whole, when collected at
+the end of the year, will form separate Volumes, with Title-pages,
+Prefaces, Tables of Contents, Indices--each Volume being a distinct work on
+Natural Philosophy, on the Two Great Divisions of Natural History, and on
+the Mathematical Sciences.
+
+The "Circle of the Sciences" will thus, by the aid of copious Analytical
+Indices, combine all the advantages of an Encyclopaedia, as a work of
+reference, without the irksome repetition which alphabetical arrangements
+necessarily involve.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+On the 1st of December an Introductory Treatise,
+
+    "On the NATURE, CONNECTION, and USES of the GREAT DEPARTMENTS of HUMAN
+    KNOWLEDGE."
+
+Will be issued; but the Publication of the Work itself will not commence
+until January, 1854.
+
+"Orr's Circle of Sciences" can be supplied by every Bookseller in the
+Kingdom; of whom a detailed Prospectus, containing Specimen Page and List
+of Subjects, may be had.

+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 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.
