It so +happens that up to the time of King Robert Bruce, the history is not +much to be depended on. A great many valuable papers connected with +the ancient ecclesiastical state of Scotland were carried off to the +Continent by the members of the ancient hierarchy, who retired there +after the Reformation. Many have, no doubt, been destroyed by time, +and in the destruction of their depositories by revolutions and +otherwise. That a great many are yet in existence abroad, as well as +at home, which would throw great light on Scottish history, and which +have not yet been discovered, there is no doubt, notwithstanding the +unceremonious manner in which many of them were treated. At the +time when the <i>literati</i> were engaged in investigating the +authenticity of Ossian's <i>Poems</i> (to go no farther back), it was +stated that there was in the library of the Scotch College at Douay a +Gaelic MS. of several of the poems of great antiquity, and which, if +produced, would have set the question at rest. On farther inquiry, +however, it was stated that it had been torn up, along with others, +and used by the students for the purpose of kindling the fires. It +is gratifying to the antiquary that discoveries are from time to time +being made, of great importance: it was announced lately that there +had been discovered at the Treasury a series of papers relating to the +rebellion of 1715-16, consisting chiefly of informations of persons +said to have taken part in the rising; and an important mass of papers +relative to the rebellion of 1745-46. There has also been discovered +at the Chapter House at Westminster, the correspondence between Edward +I., Edward II., and their lieutenants in Scotland, Aymer de Valance, +Earl of Pembroke, John, Earl of Warren, and Hugh Cressingham. The +letters patent have also been found, by which, in 1304, William +Lamberton, Bishop of St. Andrew's, testified his having come into +the peace of the king of England, and<span class='pagenum'><a name="page406" id="page406">{406}</a></span> bound himself to answer for the +temporalities of his bishopric to the English king. Stray discoveries +are now and then made in the charter-rooms of royal burghs, as +sometime ago there was found in the Town-house of Aberdeen a charter +and several confirmations by King Robert Bruce. The ecclesiastical +records of Scotland also suffered in our own day; the original +charters of the assembly from 1560 to 1616 were presented to the +library of Sion College, London Wall, London, in 1737, by the +Honorable Archibald Campbell (who had been chosen by the Presbyters +as Bishop of Aberdeen in 1721), under such conditions as might +effectually prevent them again becoming the property of the Kirk of +Scotland. Their production having been requested by a committee of the +House of Commons, the records were produced and laid on the table of +the committee-room on the 5th of May, 1834. They were consumed in the +fire which destroyed the houses of parliament on the 16th of October +of the same year. It was only after 1746, and on the breaking up +of the feudal system, when men's minds began to calm down, that any +attention was paid to Scottish antiquities. Indeed, previous to that +period, had any one asked permission to examine the charter chests +of our most ancient families, purely for a literary purpose, he would +have been suspected of maturing evidence for the purpose of depriving +them of their estates. No such objection now exists, and every +facility is afforded both the publishing clubs and private individuals +in their researches. Much has been done by the Abbotsford, Bannatyne, +Maitland, Roxburgh, Spalding, and other clubs, in elucidating Scottish +history and antiquities, but much remains to be done. "If it were +done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly," as every +day lost renders the attainment of the object more difficult; and it +is to be hoped that these clubs will be supported as they deserve. +<a id="footnotetag1" name="footnotetag1"></a><a href="#footnote1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></p> + +<p>The student of Scottish history will find much useful and important +information in Robertson's <i>Index of Charters</i>; Sir Joseph +Ayloffe's <i>Calendars of Ancient Charters</i>; <i>Documents and +Records illustrative of the History Of Scotland</i>, edited by Sir +Francis Palgrave, 1837; Jamieson's <i>History of the Culdees</i>; +Toland's <i>History of the Druids</i>; Balfour's <i>History of +the Picts</i>; Chalmers' <i>Caledonia</i>; Stuart's <i>Caledonia +Romana</i>; <i>History of the House and Clan Mackay</i>; <i>The +Genealogical Account of the Barclays of Ury for upwards of 700 +Years</i>; Gordon's <i>History of the House of Sutherland</i>; +M'Nicol's <i>Remarks on Johnson's Journey to the Western Isles</i>; +Kennedy's <i>Annals of Aberdeen</i>; Dalrymple's <i>Annals</i>, &c. +&c.</p> + +<p class='author'><span class="smcap">Abredonensis.</span></p> + +<blockquote class="footnote"> +<p><a id="footnote1" name="footnote1"></a><b>Footnote 1</b>: + <a href="#footnotetag1">(return)</a></p> +<p>See <i>Scottish Journal</i>, Edinburgh, 1847, p. 3., for a +very interesting article on the Early Records of Scotland.</p> +</blockquote> + +<hr /> + +<h3>PATRICK CAREY.</h3> + +<p>Looking over Evelyn's <i>Diary</i>, edited by Mr. Barry, 4to., 2nd +edit., London, 1819, I came upon the following. Evelyn being at Rome, +in 1644, says:</p> + +<blockquote><p>"I was especially recommended to Father John, a Benedictine Monk and +Superior of the Order for the English College of Douay; a person of +singular learning, religion, and humanity; also to Mr. Patrick Cary, an +abbot, brother to our learned Lord Falkland, a witty young priest, who +afterwards came over to our church."</p></blockquote> + +<p>It immediately occurred to me, that this "witty young priest" might +be Sir Walter Scott's <i>protégé</i>, and the author of "<i>Triviall +Poems and Triolets</i>, written in obedience to Mrs. Tomkins' commands +by Patrick Carey, Aug. 20, 1651," and published for the first time at +London in 1820, from a MS. in the possession of the editor.</p> + +<p>Sir Walter, in introducing his "forgotten poet," merely informs us +that his author "appears to have been a gentleman, a loyalist, a +lawyer, and a rigid high churchman, if not a Roman Catholic."</p> + +<p>In the first part of this book, which the author calls his "Triviall +Poems," the reader will find ample proof that his character would fit +the "witty young priest" of Evelyn; as well as the gentle blood, +and hatred to the Roundheads of Sir Walter. As a farther proof that +Patrick Carey the priest, and Patrick the poet, may be identical, take +the following from one of his poems, comparing the old Church with the +existing one:</p> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<p class="i4">"Our Church still flourishing w' had seene,</p> +<p class="i4">If th' holy-writt had euer beene</p> +<p class="i4">Kept out of laymen's reach;</p> +<p class="i4">But, when 'twas English'd, men halfe-witted,</p> +<p class="i4">Nay, woemen too, would be permitted,</p> +<p class="i4">T' expound all texts and preach."</p> +</div></div> + +<p>The second part of Carey's poetical essays is entitled "I will sing +unto the Lord," and contains a few "Triolets;" all of an ascetic +savour, and strongly confirmatory of the belief that the author may +have taken the monastic vow:</p> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<p class="i4">"Worldly designes, feares, hopes, farwell!</p> +<p class="i4">Farwell all earthly joyes and cares!</p> +<p class="i4">On nobler thoughts my soule shall dwell;</p> +<p class="i4">Worldly designes, feares, hopes, farwell!</p> +<p class="i4">Att quiett, in my peaceful cell,</p> +<p class="i4">I'le thincke on God, free from your snares;</p> +<p class="i4">Worldly designes, feares, hopes, farwell!</p> +<p class="i4">Farwell all earthly joys and cares.</p> +</div></div> + +<hr /> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<p class="i4">Pleasure att courts is but in show,</p> +<p class="i4">With true content in cells wee meete;</p> +<p class="i4">Yes (my deare Lord!) I've found it soe,</p> +<p class="i4">Noe joyes but thine are purely sweete!"</p> +</div></div> + +<p>The quotation from the Psalms, which forms the title to this second +part, is placed above "a helmet and a shield," which Sir Walter +has transferred<span class='pagenum'><a name="page407" id="page407">{407}</a></span> to his title. This "bears what heralds call a cross +anchorée, or a cross moline, with a motto, <i>Tant que je +puis</i>." With the exception of the rose beneath this, there is no +identification here of Patrick Carey with the Falkland family. This +cross, placed before religious poems, may however be intended to +indicate their subjects, and the writer's profession, rather than his +family escutcheon; although that may be pointed at in the rose alluded +to, the Falklands bearing "on a bend three roses of the field."</p> + +<p class='author'>J. O.</p> + +<p class='note'>["Ah! you do not know Pat Carey, a younger brother of Lord + Falkland's," says the disguised Prince Charles to Dr. Albany + Rochecliffe in Sir Walter Scott's <i>Woodstock</i>. So + completely has the fame of the great Lord Falkland eclipsed + that of his brothers, that many are, doubtless, in the same + blissful state with good Dr. Rochecliffe, although <i>two</i> + editions of the poet's works have been given to the world. + In 1771, Mr. John Murray published the poems of Carey, from + a collection alleged to be in the hands of a Rev. Pierrepont + Cromp, apparently a fictitious name. In 1820, Sir Walter + Scott, ignorant, as he confesses himself, at the time of an + earlier edition, edited once more the poems, employing an + original MS. presented to him by Mr. Murray. In a note in + <i>Woodstock</i>, Sir Walter sums up the information he had + procured concerning the author, which, scanty as it is, is + not without interest. "Of Carey," he says, "the second editor, + like the first, only knew the name and the spirit of the + verses. He has since been enabled to ascertain that the poetic + cavalier was a younger brother of the celebrated Henry Lord + Carey, who fell at the battle of Newberry, and escaped the + researches of Horace Walpole, to whose list of noble authors + he would have been an important addition." The first edition + of the poems appeared under the following title, <i>Poems from + a Manuscript written in the Time of Oliver Cromwell</i>, 4to. + 1771, 1<i>s.</i> 6<i>d.</i>: Murray. It contains only + nine pieces, whereas the present edition contains + thirty-seven.—<span class="smcap">Ed.</span>]</p> + +<hr /> + +<h3>INEDITED LYRIC BY FELICIA HEMANS.</h3> + +<p>A short time since I discovered the following in the handwriting +of Mrs. Hemans, and it accompanied an invitation of a more prosaic +description to a gentleman of her acquaintance, and a relative of +mine, now deceased. I thought it worth preserving, in case any future +edition of her works appeared; but the 13th, 14th, and 15th lines are +defective, from the seal, or some other accident, having torn them +off, and one is missing.

But, unfortunately, Mrs. Quickly brings in here the +conclusion at which she arrives: "I knew there was but one way; +<i>for</i>," she adds, as a farther reason, and referring to the +physical evidences upon his frame of the approach of death, "his +nose was as sharp as a pen on a table of green frieze." We can hardly +imagine him "babbling" at this moment. "How now, Sir John, quoth I;" +she continues, apparently to rouse him: "What, man! be of good cheer. +<i>So</i> [thus roused] 'a cried out—God, God, God! three or four +times: now, I to <i>comfort</i> him," &c. Does this look as though he +were in the happy state of mind your correspondents imagine? I take +no account of his crying out of sack and of women, &c., as that might +have been at an earlier period. At the same time it does not follow, +had Shakspeare intended to replace him in fancy amid the scenes of his +youth, that he should have talked of them. A man who is (or imagines +he is) in green fields, does not talk about green fields, however +he may enjoy them. Both your correspondents seem to anticipate this +difficulty, and meet it by supposing Falstaff to be "babbling +snatches of hymns;" but this I conceive to be far beyond the limits +of reasonable conjecture. In fact, the whole of their very beautiful +theory rests upon the very disputed passage in question. At an earlier +period apparently, his mind did wander; when, as Mrs. Quickly says, +he was "rheumatick," meaning doubtless <i>lunatic</i>, that is, +delirious; and then he talked of other things. When he began to +"fumble with the sheets, and play with flowers, and smile upon his +fingers' ends," though for a moment he might have fancied himself +even "in his mother's lap," or anything else, he was clearly past +all "babbling." In saying this, I treat Falstaff as a human being who +lived and died, and whose actions were recorded by the faithfullest +observer of Nature that ever wrote.</p> + +<p class='author'><span class="smcap">Samuel Hickson.</span></p> + + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<p class="i0"><i>Passage in "Tempest.</i>"—</p> + +<p class="i2">"Thy banks with pioned and twilled brims,</p> +<p class="i2">Which spongy April at thy best betrims,</p> +<p class="i2">To make cold nymphs chaste crowns."</p> + +<p class="i8"><i>Tempest</i>, Act IV.

Perhaps some of your readers may be able to give a more correct +origin of this singular custom than the one I now give from tradition:</p> + +<blockquote><p>"Previous to the suppression of monasteries in Hull, it was + the custom for the monks to provide liberally for the poor and + the wayfarer who came to the fair, held annually on the 11th + of October; and while busy in this necessary preparation the + day before the fair, a dog strolled into the larder, snatched + up a joint of meat and decamped with it. The cooks gave the + alarm; and when the dog got into the street, he was pursued by + the expectants of the charity of the monks, who were waiting + outside the gate, and made to give up the stolen joint. + Whenever, after this, a dog showed his face, while this + annual preparation was going on, he was instantly beaten + off.

I found that <i>the +light of the blue sky is partially polarised</i>.

This word I +cannot find in my Irish dictionary, but it is evidently a diminutive, +formed from the word <i>Eevan</i> (Iomhaigh), image, or +idol: and it is remarkable that the scriptural Hebrew term for idol +is identical with the Irish, or nearly so—<span class='lfont'>אָוֶנ</span> +(<i>Eevan</i>), derived from a root signifying <i>negation</i>, and +applied to the vanity of idols, and to the idols themselves.</p> + +<p>I saw at Kenmare, in the county of Kerry, in the summer of 1847, a +water-worn fragment of clay slate, bearing a rude likeness to the +human form, which the peasantry called <i>Eevan</i>.

The present chief or king of Inniskea is an +intelligent peasant, whose authority is universally acknowledged, +and the settlement of all disputes is referred to his decision. +Occasionally they have been visited by wandering schoolmasters, but +so short and casual have such visits been, that there are not +ten individuals who even know the letters of any language. Though +nominally Roman Catholics, these islanders have no priest resident +among them, and their worship consists in occasional meetings at +their chief's house, with visits to a holy well. Here the absence of +religion is filled with the open practice of pagan idolatry; for in +the south island a stone idol, called in the Irish <i>Neevougi</i>, +has been from time immemorial religiously preserved and worshipped. +This god, in appearance, resembles a thick roll of homespun flannel, +which arises from a custom of dedicating a material of their dress to +it whenever its aid is sought: this is sewed on by an old woman, +its priestess, whose peculiar care it is. They pray to it in time of +sickness. It is invoked when a storm is desired to dash some helpless +ship upon the coast; and, again, the exercise of its power is +solicited in calming the angry waves to admit of fishing.</p> + +<p>Such is a brief outline of these islanders and their god; but of +the early history of this idol no authentic information has yet been +obtained.

I +allow that there some slight similitude of pronunciation between +the words, but I contend that their sense is perfectly distinct, or, +rather, wholly different; as distant, in fact, as is the date of their +naturalisation in our respective idioms. Your <i>blackguard</i> had +already won a "local habitation and a name" under the reigns of Pope +and his immediate predecessor Dryden. Of all living unrespectable +characters our own <i>blagueur</i> is the youngest, the most innocent, +and the shyest. He is entirely of modern growth. He has but lately +emerged from the soldier's barracks, the suttler's shop, and the +mess-room. As a prolific tale-teller he amused the leisure hours of +superannuated sergeants and half-pay subalterns. Ten or twelve years +ago he had not yet made his appearance in plain clothes; he is now +creeping and winding his way with slow and sure steps from his +old haunts into some first-rate coffee-houses and shabby-genteel +drawing-rooms, which Carlyle calls <i>sham gentility</i>. He bears on +his very brow the newest <i>flunky-stamp</i>. The poor young fellow, +after all, is no villain; he has no kind of connexion with the +horrid rascal <span class="smcap">Sir Emerson Tennent</span> alludes to—with the +<i>blackguard</i>. That he is a boaster, a talker, an idiot, a +nincompoop; that he scatters "words, words, words," as Polonius did of +old; that he is bombastic, wordy, prosy, nonsensical, and a fool, +no one will deny. But he is no rogue, though he utters rogueries and +drolleries. No one is justified in slandering him.</p> + +<p>The <i>blackguard</i> is a dirty fellow in every sense of the word—a +<i>gredin</i> (a cur), the true translation, by-the-bye, of the word +<i>blackguard</i>. Voltaire, who dealt largely in Billingsgate, was +very fond of the word <i>gredin</i>:</p> + +<blockquote><p>"Je semble à trois <i>gredins</i>, dans leur petit cerveau,<br /> +Que pour être imprimés et reliés en veau," &c.</p></blockquote> + +<p>The word <i>blagueur</i> implies nothing so contemptuous or offensive +as the word <i>blackguard</i> does. The emptiness of the person to +whom it applies is very harmless. Its etymon <i>blague</i> (bladder, +<i>tobacco-bag</i>), the pouch, which smoking voluptuaries use to +deposit their tobacco, is perfectly symbolic of the inane, bombastic, +windy, and long-winded speeches and sayings of the <i>blagueur</i>. +Every French commercial traveller, buss-tooter, and Parisian jarvy +is one. When he deports himself with modesty, and shows a gentlemanly +tact in his peculiar avocation, we call him a <i>craqueur</i> (a +cracker).

Eusebius himself composed a celebrated +harmony, of which, as of some others in the sixteenth and two +following centuries, there is a short account in Michaelis's +<i>Introduction to the New Test.</i>, translated by Bishop Marsh, vol. +iii. part <span class="smcap">I.</span> p. 32. The few works of the same kind written +in the early and middle ages are noticed in Horne's <i>Introduct.</i>, +vol. ii. p. 274.

But by far the ablest +of the ancient writings on this subject is the <i>De Consensu +Evangelistarum</i> of St. Augustine. Many authors, such as Porphyry, +in his <span lang='el' title='Kata Christianôn logoi'>Κατα Χριστιανον λογοι</span>, +had pointed with an air of triumph to the seeming discrepancies in the Evangelic records as an +argument subversive of their claim to paramount authority ("Hoc enim +solent quasi palmare suæ vanitatis objicere, quod ipsi Evangelistæ +inter seipsos dissentiant."—Lib. i. c. 7.).

In Gen. +xli., Joseph has conferred on him the king's ring, an instance more +ancient than Prometheus, whom fables call the inventor of the ring. +Therefore let those who will hold, with Pliny and his followers, that +its use is more recent than Homer. The Greeks seem to have derived the +custom of wearing it from the East, and Italy from the Greeks. Juvenal +and Persius refer to<span class='pagenum'><a name="page417" id="page417">{417}</a></span> rings which were worn only on birthdays. Clemens +Alexandrinus recommends a limit within which the liberty of engraving +upon them should be restrained. He thinks we should not allow an idol, +a sword, a bow, or a cup, much less naked human figures; but a dove, +a fish, or a ship in full sail, or a lyre, an anchor, or fishermen. +By the dove he would denote the Holy Spirit; by the fish, the dinner +which Christ prepared for his disciples (John xxi.), or the feeding of +thousands (Luke ix.); by a ship, either the Church or human life; by a +lyre, harmony; by an anchor, constancy; by fishermen, the apostles or +the baptism of children. It is a wonder he did not mention the symbol +of the name of Christ (<span lang='el' title='Chi-rho'>Χρ</span>), the cross which is found +on ancient gems, and Noah's ark.</p> + +<p>Rings were worn upon the joints and fingers, and hence Clement says +a man should not wear a ring upon the joint (<i>in articulo</i>), for +this is what women do, but upon the little finger, and at its lowest +part. He failed to observe the Roman custom of wearing the ring upon +the finger of the left hand, which is nearest the heart, and which we +therefore term the ring-finger. And Macrobius says, that when a ring +fell from the little finger of Avienus' right hand, those who were +present asked why he placed it upon the wrong hand and finger, not +on those which had been set apart for this use. The reasons which +are given for this custom in Macrobius were often laughed at by H. +Fabricius ab Aquapendente, viz. that it is stated in anatomical works, +that "a certain nerve which rises at the heart proceeds directly to +that finger of the left hand which is next the little finger," for +nothing of the sort, he said, existed in the human body.</p> + +<p>The ring distinguished the free-born from the servile, who, however, +sometimes obtained the <i>jus annuli</i>, or privilege of the ring. +It was used as a seal, a pledge, and a bond. Women, when betrothed, +received rings; and the virgin and martyr Agnes, in Ambrose, says, "My +Lord Jesus Christ hath espoused me with his ring." Theosebius also, in +Photius, says to his wife, "I formerly gave to thee the ring of union, +now of temperance, to aid thee in the seemly custody of my house." He +advisedly speaks of that <i>custody</i>, for the lady of the house in +Plautus says,</p> + +<blockquote><p>"Obsignate cellas, referte annulum ad me:<br /> + Ego huc transeo."</p></blockquote> + +<p>Wives generally used the same seals as their husbands: thus Cicero +(<i>Ad Attic.</i> xi. 9) says, "Pomponia, I believe, has the seals of +what is sealed." Sometimes, however, they used their own.</p> + +<p>Touching the marriage ring, of what style and material it was, and +whether formerly, as now, consecrated by prayers to God. Its pattern +appears to have been one which has gone out of use, viz. right +hands joined, such as is often observed on ancient coins. Tacitus +(<i>Hist.</i> i. ll.) calls it absolutely <i>dextras</i>, right hands. +Among us it was called a faith (<i>una fede.</i> Comp. Eng. "Plight +my <i>troth</i>"), and not without precedent, for on the coins of +Vitellius, &c. right hands thus joined bear the motto <i>Fides</i>. An +esteemed writer (Nider), in his <i>Formicarium</i>, mentions a rustic +virgin who desired to find a material ring as a token of her espousal +"<i>in signum Christiferæ desponsationis</i>," and found a ring of +a white colour, like pure silver, upon which two hands were engraved +where it was united. It was formerly customary to bless a crown or a +ring by prayers. The form of consecration used by the priest is thus +given in ancient liturgies:</p> + + +<blockquote><p>"Bene <img src="images/image01.png" width="15" height="15" alt="cross" /> + die Domine, Annulum istum et coronam istam, ut + sicut Annulus circundat digitum hominis, et corona caput, + ita gratia Spiritus Sancti circundet sponsum et sponsam, + ut videant filios et filias usque tertiam et quartam + generationem: qui collaudent nomen viventis atque regnantis in + secula seculorum. Amen."</p></blockquote> + +<p>For the crown, see Is. lxii. 1. (E. V. lxi. 10.). The words of Agnes +above cited have reference to giving the right hand and a pledge.</p> + +<p>These particulars are from the <i>Symbol. Epist. Liber</i> of +Laurentius Pignorius, Patar. 1628; where, in Ep. I. and XIX., many +other references are to be found.</p> + + +<p class='author'>B. H. C.</p> + + +<hr class='full' /> + +<h3>ANTICIPATORY USE OF THE CROSS.—RINGING BELLS FOR THE DEAD.</h3> + +<p class='center'>(Vol. viii., pp. 130. 132.)</p> + +<p>I trust that the following information may be acceptable to you and +the authors of two interesting papers in "N. & Q." (Vol. viii., pp. +130-2.), viz. "Anticipatory Use of the Cross," and "Curious Custom of +ringing Bells for the Dead."</p> + +<p>When encamped, in 1823 or 1824, near the town (not the cantonment) +of Muttra, on the river Jumna, a place of celebrated sanctity as the +scene of the last incarnation of Vishnoo, the protective deity or +myth of the Hindoos, an Italian gentleman of most polished manners, +speaking English correctly and with fluency, was introduced to me. He +travelled under the name of Count Venua, and was understood to be the +eldest son of the then Prime Minister of Sardinia. The Count explained +to me that his favourite pursuit was architecture, and that he +preferred buildings of antiquity. I replied, that while breakfast +was preparing I could meet his wishes, and led him to a large Hindoo +edifice close by (or rather the remains), which a Mogul emperor had +partially destroyed and thereby desecrated, the place having since +been occasionally used by the townspeople as a cattle-shed, or for +rubbish.</p> + +<p>The Count, not deterred by heaps of cattle-dung, paced the dimensions, +gazed on the solidity of the<span class='pagenum'><a name="page418" id="page418">{418}</a></span> stone masonry, approved of the +construction and shape of the arched roof, pointed out the absence +of all ornament excepting a simple moulding or two as architectural +lines, and then broke out into enthusiastic admiration. "The most +beautiful building! the greatest wonder of the world! Shame on +the English government and English gentlemen for secreting such a +curiosity! Here is the cross! the basilica carried out with more +correctness of order and symmetry than in Italy! The early Christians +must have built it! I will take measurements and drawings to lay +before the cardinals!"</p> + +<p>I was never more surprised, and assured the Count that I was +unacquainted with the cathedral buildings of Europe, and I believed +English gentlemen generally to be as ignorant as myself. I could not +but acknowledge that the local governments had, as it seemed to him, +evinced but little sympathy with Hindooism; and that whatever might be +European policy in respect to religion, the East India Company might +have participated in the desire which prevails in Europe to develop +ancient customs, and the reasons of those customs. It might be +presumed that we should then have contemplated this specimen of +architecture with a knowledge of its original purposes, and the +history of its events, had the Governor-General communicated his +wish, and with due courtesy and disinterestedness invited the learned +persons and scholars at the colleges of Muttra and Benares to assist +such inquiries. It is but little the English now know of the Hindoo +organisation, and the little they do know is derived from books not +tested nor acknowledged by such learned persons.</p> + +<p>I assisted Count Venua as far as I was able, for I rejoiced at his +intention to draw the minds of the <i>literati</i> of Italy to the +subject. Sad to say, the Count was some time after killed by falling +into a volcanic crater in the Eastern Isles!</p> + +<p>I may here mention that I first saw the old building in 1809, when +a youthful assistant to the secretary of a revenue commission. The +party, during the inclement month of September, resided in one of +the spacious houses at Muttra, which pious Hindoos had in past times +erected for the use of pilgrims and the public. The old temple (or +whatever it might have been) was cleaned out for our accommodation +during the heat of the day, as it then was cooler than the house. +The elder civilians were men of ability, classical scholars, and +first-rate Asiatic linguists. They descanted on the mythological +events which renders "Brij," or the country around Muttra, so holy +with the Hindoos, but not one of them knew nor remarked the "cross and +basilica."</p> + +<p>In youth, the language assigned to flowers appeared to me captivating +and elegant, as imparting the finer feelings and sympathies of our +nature. In maturer age, and after the study of the history of the +customs of mankind, symbols and emblems seemed to me an universal +language, which delicately delineated the violent passions of +our kind, and transmitted from generation to generation national +predilections and pious emotions towards the God of Creation. That +mythology should so generally be interpreted Theism, and that forms +or ceremonials of worship should be held to limit and define belief in +creed, may, in my apprehension, be partly traceable to the school-book +Lamprière's <i>Classical Dictionary</i>. You or your correspondents +may attribute it to other and truer causes.</p> + +<p>The rose, the thistle, the shamrock, the leek, the lion, the unicorn, +the harp, &c. are familiar examples of national emblems. The ivy, the +holly, and the mistletoe are joined up with the Christmas worship, +though probably of Druidical origin. The Assyrian sculptures present, +under the "Joronher," or effulgence, a sacred tree, which may +assimilate with the toolsu and the peepul tree, held in almost equal +veneration by the Hindoos. The winged lions and bulls with the heads +of men, the angels and cherubim, recall to mind passages of scriptural +and pagan history. The sciences of astronomy and mathematics have +afforded myths or symbols in the circle, the crescent, the bident, the +trident, the cross, &c.</p> + +<p>The translators of the cuneiform inscriptions represent crucifixion +as the common punishment for rebellion and treason. The Jews may have +imitated the Assyrians, as crucifixion may have been adopted +long before that of Christ and the two thieves (Qy. robbers). The +Mahomedans, who have copied the Jews in many practices and customs, +executed gang robbers or daccorts by suspending the criminals from +a tree, their heads and arms being tied to the branches, and then +ripping up the abdomen. I myself saw in Oude an instance of several +bodies. It may be inferred, then, that the position of the culprits +under execution was designated by crucifixion. The Hindoos mildly say +that when their system of government existed in efficiency there was +neither crime nor punishment.</p> + +<p>To the examples mentioned by your correspondent, I admit that the form +of the cross, as now received, may be derived from that of Christ, +discovered on Mount Calvary in 236 <span class="smcap">A.D.</span> Constantine, in 306 +<span class="smcap">A.D.</span>, adopted it as a standard in Labarum. Other nations +have attached staves to eagles, dragons, fish, &c. as standards +and therefore, construing "Crux ansata" literally, the ensign of +Constantine might be formed by attaching a staff to the Divine Glory +represented in the Egyptian paintings and Assyrian sculptures.</p> + +<p>I should be glad to learn the precise shape of the cross on the Temple +of Serapis. If it be the emblem of life or the Creative Power, then +the mythology of the Nile agrees with that of the<span class='pagenum'><a name="page419" id="page419">{419}</a></span> Ganges. If it be the +symbol of life, or rather of a future state after judgment, then the +religious tenets and creed of Muttra should be elucidated, examined, +and refuted by the advocates of conversion and their itinerant agents. +Moore's <i>Hindoo Pantheon</i> (though the author had at Bombay, as +a military officer, little opportunity of ascertaining particulars of +the doctrine) sufficiently treats, under the head of the "Krishna," +the subject so as to explain to the conversionists, that unless this +doctrine be openly refuted, the missionaries may in truth be fighting +their own shadow.</p> + +<p>The basilica seems to have originally been the architectural plan +of the Roman Forum, or court of justice. The Christians may have +converted some of these edifices into churches; otherwise the first +churches seem to have been in the form of a long parallelogram, +a central nave, and an aisle on each side, the eastern end being +rounded, as the station of the bishop or presbyter. The basilica, or +cathedral, was probably not introduced until the eighth century, or +later.</p> + +<p>I have not just now access to the works of Tod and Maurice. The +former, I doubt not, is correct in respect to the Temple of Mundore, +but I believe the latter is not so in regard to Benares. The trident, +like that of Neptune, prevails in the province of Benares; and when +it, in appropriate size, rises in the centre of large tanks, has +a very solemn effect. I, a great many years ago, visited the chief +temple of Benares, and do not recollect that the cross was either +noticed to me or by me. This, I think, was the only occasion of +observing the forms of worship. There is no fixed service, no +presiding priest, no congregation. The people come and go in +succession. I then first saw the bell, which, in size some twenty-five +pounds weight, is suspended within the interior. Each person, at some +period of his devotion, touched the tongue of the bell as invocation +or grace. The same purpose is obtained by Hindoos, and particularly +the men of the fighting classes, previously to commencing a cooked +dinner, by winding a large shell, which gives a louder sound than +a horn. The native boys however, on hearing it, exclaim in doggerel +rhyme, which I translate,</p> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<p class="i4">"The shell is blown,</p> +<p class="i4">And the devil is flown."</p> +</div></div> + +<p>Fear seems so much the parent of superstition, that I attribute this +saying to the women, who, as mothers, have usually a superstitious +dread not only of evil spirits, but also of the evil eye of mortals +towards their young ones. When, some twenty years ago, I was told by a +Kentish countryman that the church bell was tolled to drive away evil +spirits from a departing soul, I supposed the man to be profanely +jocose; but since then I have travelled much in this country and on +the Continent, and have seen enough to satisfy me that superstition +prevails comparatively less in Asia than in Europe and the pages of +"N. & Q." abundantly corroborate the opinion.</p> + + +<p class='author'>H. N.</p> + + +<hr class='full' /> + +<h3>PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.</h3> + +<p><i>Stereoscopic Angles.</i>—I am concerned that my definition +and solution of stereoscopic angles (a misnomer, for it should be +<i>space</i>) in "N. & Q.," with subsequent illustrations, have not +satisfied <span class="smcap">Mr. Shadbolt</span>, as I am thus obliged to once more +request room in your pages, and this time for a rather long letter. +When I asserted that my method is the only correct one, it behoved me +to be prepared to prove it, which I am, and will now do.</p> + +<p>It seems that <span class="smcap">Mr. Shadbolt</span> has not a knowledge of +perspective, or, with a little reflection and trifling pains in +linear demonstration on paper, he might have convinced himself of +the accuracy of my method. It were well, then, to inform <span class="smcap">Mr. +Shadbolt</span>, that in perspective, planes parallel to the plane +of delineation (in this case, the glass at back of camera) have no +vanishing points; that planes at right angles to plane of delineation +have but one; and that planes oblique have but one vanishing point, to +the right or left, as it may be, of the observer's eye. This promised, +let the subject be a wall 300 feet in length, with two abutments of +one foot in front and five feet in projection, and each placed five +feet from the central point of the wall, which is to have a plinth at +its base, and a stone coping at top. On a pedestal four feet high, two +feet wide, and six feet long, exactly midway betwixt the abutments, +let an ass be placed, a boy astride him, a bag drawn before the boy, +who holds up a long stick in line with the ass, &c., that is, facing +the observer. The right distance for the observer's place is 450 feet. +If the cameras be placed two inches and a half apart, on one line +parallel to the wall, the stereographs will be in true perspective for +the <i>two</i> eyes, that is, all the planes at right angles to the +plane of delineation will have <i>two</i> vanishing points, which, +being merely two inches and a half apart, will, in the stereoscope, +flow easily into one opposite the eye; whilst the plinth, coping, and +all lines parallel to them, will be perfectly horizontal; and the two +pictures would create in the mind just such a conception as the +same objects would if seen by the eyes naturally. This would be +stereoscopic, true to nature, true to art, and, I affirm, correct.</p> + +<p>Now, let the same subject be treated by Professor Wheatstone's method, +when the cameras would be eighteen feet apart. Situated thus, if +placed on one line, and that parallel to the wall, the extreme end +at the right could not be seen by the camera at the left, and <i>vice +versâ</i>; so that they<span class='pagenum'><a name="page420" id="page420">{420}</a></span> must radiate from the centre when the glass at +back of camera would be oblique to the wall, and the plinth, coping, +top and bottom of pedestal, would have <i>two</i> vanishing points, +at opposite sides of the centre, or observer's eye; both sides of the +ass, both the legs of boy, and two heads to the drum would be visible; +whilst the two sides of pedestals would have each a vanishing point, +serving for all lines parallel to them. But these vanishing points +would be so far apart that they could not, in the stereoscope, flow +into one: the result would be, that the buttresses would be wider at +back than in front, as would also the pedestal, while the stick held +by the boy would appear like <i>two</i> sticks united in front. This +would be untrue to nature, false to art, preposterously absurd, and I +pronounce it to be altogether erroneous.</p> + +<p>This being the case with a long distance, so must it be with shorter +distances, modified in exact proportion to the diminution of space +between the cameras, &c. For, let the object be a piece of wood three +feet long, four inches wide, and six inches deep, with a small square +piece one inch and six inches high, placed upright exactly on a line +from end to end of the three feet (that is, one at each end) and +midway between the sides. Let this arrangement be placed across +another piece of wood three or four feet long, which will thus be +at right angles to the piece at top. By my method all will be +correct—true to nature and to art, and perfectly stereoscopic: whilst +by the radial method (recommended by <span class="smcap">Mr. Shadbolt</span>), with two +feet space for cameras, there would be the top piece divided at the +farther end, where there would be two small upright pieces instead +of one; and this because the two vanishing points could not, in +stereoscope, flow into one: whilst the lower piece of wood would have +two vanishing points at opposite sides. This, then, being untrue to +nature, untrue in art, in short, a most absurd misrepresentation, I +pronounce to be utterly wrong. I have made the space two feet between +cameras in order to show how ridiculous those pictures might become +where there is an absence of taste, as, by such a person, two or ten +feet are as likely to be taken as any less offensively incorrect.</p> + +<p>As regards range of vision, I apologise to <span class="smcap">Mr. Shadbolt</span> for +having misconceived his exact meaning, and say that I perfectly agree +with him.</p> + +<p>With respect to the "trifling exaggeration" I spoke of, allow me to +explain. For the sake of clearness, I denominate the angle formed from +the focal point of lens, and the glass at back of camera, the angle +of delineation; the said glass the plane of delineation and the angle +formed by the stereograph to the eye, the stereoscopic angle. It must +be borne in mind that the stereoscopic angle is that subtended by +one stereograph and the eye. I find by experiments that the angle of +delineation is very often larger than the stereoscopic angle, so that +the apparent enlargement spoken of by <span class="smcap">Mr. Shadbolt</span> does not +often exist; but if it did, as my vision (though excellent) is not +acute enough to discover the discrepancy, I was content. I doubt not, +however, under such circumstances, <span class="smcap">Mr. Shadbolt</span> would prefer +the deformities and errors proved to be present, since he has admitted +that he has such preference. I leave little doubt that, if desirable, +the stereoscopic angle, and that of delineation, could be generally +made to agree.</p> + +<p>As to the means by which persons with two eyes, or with only one eye, +judge of distance, I say not one word, that being irrelevant to +this subject. But that the axes of the eyes approximate when we view +objects nearer and nearer cannot be doubted, and I expressed no +doubt; and it appears to me very probable that on this fact <span class="smcap">Mr. +Shadbolt</span> founds his conclusion that the cameras should radiate. +This, however, ought not to be done for the reasons I have assigned. +It will not do to treat the cameras as two eyes, and make them radiate +because our eyes do; for it must be remembered that light entering the +eyes is received on curved—whilst when it enters the cameras it falls +on flat surfaces, occasioning very different results. And if this be +maturely considered by <span class="smcap">Mr. Shadbolt</span>, I believe his opinion +will be greatly altered.</p> + +<p>As to the model-like appearance, I cannot yet understand exactly why +it should exist; but of this I am certain, the eyes naturally do not +perceive at one view three sides of a cake (that is, two sides and the +front), nor two heads to a drum, nor any other like absurdity; so that +I perceive no analogy between this model-like appearance and natural +vision, as stated to be the case by <span class="smcap">Mr. Shadbolt</span>.</p> + +<p>To confirm, practically, the truth of my illustrative proofs, I will +send you next week some glass stereographs, to be placed at <span class="smcap">Mr. +Shadbolt's</span> disposal, if he likes, and you will be so kind as to +take charge of them.</p> + + +<p class='author'><span class="smcap">T.

Has the glove been associated +with this fair from its commencement? and if not, how far back can +its use be traced? The history of the fair is briefly this: it existed +before the Norman Conquest, and was a great mart of business; the +tolls had belonged to the corporation, but King John took one-half, +and gave them to the priory of St. Nicholas. Henry VIII. sold the fair +with the priory; and anno second and third of Philip and Mary it was +made over to the corporation, who have ever since been lords of the +fair.

Among the many issues of base coin which from time to time were +made in Ireland, there was none to be compared in worthlessness +to that made by James II. from the Dublin Mint; it was composed +of anything on which he could lay his hands, such as lead, pewter, +copper, and brass, and so low was its intrinsic value, that twenty +shillings of it was only worth twopence sterling. William III., a few +days after the Battle of the Boyne, ordered that the crown piece +and half-crown should be taken as one penny and one halfpenny +respectively. The soft mixed metal of which that worthless coining +was composed, was known among the Irish as <i>Uim bog</i>, pronounced +<i>Oom-bug</i>, <i>i.e.</i> soft copper, <i>i.e.</i> worthless +money; and in the course of their dealings the modern use of the word +<i>humbug</i> took its rise, as in the phrases "that's a <i>piece +of uimbog</i> (humbug)," "don't think to <i>pass off</i> your +<i>uimbug</i> on me." Hence the word <i>humbug</i> came to be applied +to anything that had a specious appearance, but which was in +reality spurious. It is curious to note that the very opposite of +<i>humbug</i>, <i>i.e.</i> false metal, is the word <i>sterling</i>, +which is also taken from a term applied to the <i>true</i> coinage +of the realm, as <i>sterling</i> coin, <i>sterling</i> truth, +<i>sterling</i> worth, &c.</p> + + +<p class='author'><span class="smcap">Fras.

He published several works anonymously, +all of which acquired celebrity; but I believe the poem of "Woman," +published by Mr. Colburn, was the only work to which he attached his +name. He was the author of the well-known political satire called +<i>All the Talents</i>; of the mock romance of <i>The Heroine</i>, +in which the absurdities of a school of fiction, at that time in high +favour, are happily ridiculed; and of a novel which had great success +in its day, and is still to be found in some of the circulating +libraries, called <i>Six Weeks at Long's</i>. Eaton Stannard Barrett +died many years ago in the prime of his life and powers. His brother, +Richard Barrett, is still living, and resides in the neighbourhood +of Dublin.

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 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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/27538-h/images/image 01.png b/27538-h/images/image 01.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..41a1c5f --- /dev/null +++ b/27538-h/images/image 01.png diff --git a/27538-h/images/image01.png b/27538-h/images/image01.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..41a1c5f --- /dev/null +++ b/27538-h/images/image01.png |
