+Notes.
+
+BURTON'S "ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY."
+
+In this age of "new editions," it is a wonder that no one has favoured the
+public with a reprint, with notes _variorum_, of this celebrated English
+classic.
+
+Dr. Dibdin, in a note to his edition of More's _Utopia_, vol. ii. p. 97.,
+says:
+
+    "Whoever will be at the trouble of consulting Part II, sect. IV. memb..
+    i. subsect. 4. of the last folio edition of Burton [1676], will see how
+    it varies from the first folio of 1624; and will, in consequence,
+    regret the omission of the notice of these variations in the octavo
+    editions of Burton recently published."
+
+The octavo editions here referred to are those of 1800 and 1806; the
+latter, I believe, edited by Edward Du Bois. The folio of 1676 is, in all
+probability, an exact reprint of that of 1651, which certainly differs
+considerably from those of an earlier date. Henry Cripps, the publisher of
+the edition of 1651, has the following notice:
+
+    "_To the Reader._
+
+    Be pleased to know (courteous Reader) that since the last impression of
+    this Book, the ingenuous author of it is deceased, leaving a copy of it
+    exactly corrected, with several considerable additions by his own hand.
+    This copy he committed to my care and custody, with directions to have
+    those additions inserted in the next edition; which, in order to his
+    command and the publicke good, is faithfully performed in this last
+    impression.
+
+    H. C."
+
+Modern writers have been deeply indebted to old Robert Burton; but he, in
+his turn, was equally indebted to earlier writers. Dr. Dibdin remarks:
+
+    "I suspect that Burton, the author of the _Anatomy of Melancholy_, was
+    intimately acquainted with Boiastuan's book as translated by Alday; for
+    there are passages in Burton's 'Love Melancholy' (the most
+    extraordinary and amusing part of his work), which bear a very strong
+    resemblance to many in the 'Gests and Countenances ridiculous of
+    Lovers,' at p. 195 of Boiastuan's _Theatre, or Rule of the World_."
+
+The title of the curious book mentioned in this extract is--
+
+    "Theatrum Mundi. Theatre, or Rule of the World: Wherein may bee seene

+
+But Burton was more indebted to another work, very similar in title and
+matter to his own; I mean Dr. Bright's curious little volume, of which I
+transcribe the title-page in full:
+
+    "A Treatise of Melancholy: contayning the Causes thereof, and reasons
+    of the strange Effects it worketh in our Minds and Bodies; with the
+    Phisicke Cure, and Spirituall Consolation for such as have thereto
+    adjoyned afflicted Conscience. The difference betwixt it and
+    Melancholy, with diverse philosophical Discourses touching Actions, and
+    Affections of Soule, Spirit, and Body: the Particulars whereof are to
+    be seene before the Booke. By T. Bright, Doctor of Phisicke. Imprinted
+    at London by John Windet, sm. 8vo. 1586."
+
+It has been remarked that Burton does not acknowledge his obligations to
+Bright. This, however, is not strictly true, as the former acknowledges
+_several quotations_ in the course of his work. It would certainly be
+desirable, in the event of a new edition of the _Anatomy_, that a
+comparison of the two books should be made. As a beginning towards this
+end, I subjoin a table of the contents of Bright's _Treatise_, with a
+notice of some similar passages in Burton's _Anatomy_, arranged in parallel
+columns.
+
+I may just add, that Bright's _Treatise_ consists of 276 pages, exclusive
+of a dedication "To the Right Worshipful M. Peter Osborne," &c. (dated from
+"Little S. Bartlemews by Smithfield, the 13 of May, 1586"); and an address
+"To his Melancholick Friend M."
+
+All that is known of his biography has been collected by the Rev. Joseph
+Hunter, and communicated to the last edition of Wood's _Athenae
+Oxonienses_, vol. ii. p. 174. _note_.

+*** Transcriber's note: in the following item the Greek omega is
+transcribed as oo to distinguish it from o = omicron
+
+"[Greek: Aioon]," ITS DERIVATION.
+
+As the old postulate respecting the etymology of this important word, from
+[Greek: aeioon], however superficial, is too attractive to be surrendered,
+even in the present day, by some respectable authorities, the judgment of
+your classical correspondents is requested, as to the accuracy of the more
+philosophical origin of the term which has been adopted by commentators of
+unquestionable erudition and undisputed eminence.
+
+The rule by which those distinguished scholars, Lennep and Scheidius,
+determine the etymology of [Greek: Aioon], is as follows:
+
+    "Nomina in [Greek: oon] desinentia, formata ab aliis nominibus,
+    _collectiva_ sunt, sive _copiam_ earum rerum, quae _primitivo_
+    designantur notant--ut sunt [Greek: dendroon], a [Greek: dendron],
+    arboretum; [Greek: Elaioon], olivetum, ab [Greek: Elaion]; [Greek:
+    Rhodoon], rosetum, a [Greek: rhodon] (also the nouns [Greek: ankoon,
+    agoon, akremoon, bonboon, paioon, ploutoon, poogoon, chitoon]).--Nempe
+    formata videntur haec nomina in [Greek: oon], a genitivis pluralibus
+    substantivorum. Genitivus singularis horum nominum, in [Greek: oonos],
+    contractione sua, hanc originem satis videtur demonstrare."
+
+In immediate reference to the word [Greek: Aioon], they say:
+
+    "[Greek: Aioon], Aevum, Aeternitas. Nomen ex eo genere, quod natura sua
+    _collectionem_ et _multitudinem_ rerum notat; ut patet ex terminatione
+    [Greek: oon]. Quemadmodum in voce [Greek: aei], vidimus eam esse
+    translatam eximie ad significationem _temporis_, ab illa flandi,
+    spirandive, quae est in origine [Greek: aoo]; sic in nostro [Greek:
+    Aioon] eadem translationis ratio locum habet; ut adeo quasi _temporum
+    collectionem_, vel _multitudinem_ significet. A qua denuo
+    significatione propria profectae sunt eae, quibus vel _aevum_, vel
+    _aeternitatem_, vel _hominis aetatem_ descripsere veteres. Formata
+    (vox) est a nomine inusitato [Greek: Aios], vel [Greek: Aios], quod ab
+    [Greek: ais], cujus naturam, in voce [Greek: aei], expossi. Caeterum, a
+    Graeco nostro [Greek: Aioon], interposito digammate Aeolico, ortum, est
+    [Greek: Aiwoon], et hinc Lat. aevum."
+
+As then it is impossible to place [Greek: Aioon], whose genitive is [Greek:
+Aioonos], in the same category with the derivatives from [Greek: oon], the
+participle present of [Greek: Eimi], whose genitive is [Greek: ontos]; and
+as, secondly, this derivation places the word out of the range of the
+collective nouns so declined, which are derived from other nouns, as this
+appears to be, can the real etymology of the word [Greek: Aioon], and its
+derivatives, remain any longer a matter of question and debate?

+WILLIAM LYON, BISHOP OF CORK, CLOYNE, AND ROSS.
+
+It is very generally believed that Dr. William Lyon (not Lyons, as he is
+sometimes called) was originally in the navy; that having distinguished
+himself in several actions against the Spaniards, he was promised by Queen
+Elizabeth the first crown appointment that should be vacant; and that this
+happening to be the see of Cork, he was appointed to it. This is mentioned
+in other works as well as in Mr. Crofton Croker's very agreeable
+_Researches in the South of Ireland_, p. 248.; and I have more than once
+heard it given as a remarkable instance of church preferment. {193}
+
+Sir James Ware informs us that Bishop Lyon was Vicar of Naas in 1573, Vicar
+of Brandanston in 1580, and chaplain to Lord Grey, who was sent to Ireland
+as Lord Deputy in September, 1580. This is inconsistent with the statement,
+that Queen Elizabeth took him from the quarter-deck to make him a bishop,
+inasmuch as he was in holy orders, and in possession of preferment in
+Ireland, nearly ten years before he was raised to the highest order in the
+ministry. If, therefore, he was ever distinguished for gallantry in naval
+warfare, it must have been before 1573; for we have no reason to suppose
+that the Rev. George Walker, the hero of Londonderry, had him as an
+example. But, as no action with the Spaniards could have taken place prior
+to 1577, how is this to be reconciled with the common account, that his
+gallantry against them attracted the notice of the queen? In a
+miscellaneous compilation, entitled _Jefferson's Selections_ (published in
+York in 1795, and indebted for its information about Lyon to an old
+newspaper, which gave oral tradition as its sole authority), we are told
+that his picture, in the captain's uniform, the left hand wanting a finger,
+is still to be seen in the bishop's palace at Cork. The picture is there,
+and represents him certainly as wanting a finger; he is dressed, however,
+not in a captain's uniform, but in a very scholar-like black gown.
+
+I know not how Mr. Croker could have given the year 1606 as the date of his
+appointment to the see of Cloyne, for we learn from Ware, who is no mean
+authority, that he was first appointed to the see of Ross in 1582; that the
+sees of Cork and Cloyne were given to him _in commendam_ in 1583 (as is
+recorded in the Consistorial Court of Cork), and that the three sees were
+formally united in his person in 1586.
+
+In 1595 he was appointed one of the commissioners to consider the best
+means of peopling Munster with English settlers, and of establishing a
+voluntary composition throughout that province in lieu of cess and taxes;
+this does not look as if he had been an illiterate captain of a ship, or
+one of those "rude-bred soldiers, whose education was at the musket-mouth."
+In fact, Ware does not seem to have considered him remarkable for anything
+except such qualities as well became his order. And we have the high
+testimony of Archbishop Bramhall (quoted by Ware), that "Cork and Ross
+fared the best of any bishoprick in that province, a very good man, Bishop
+Lyon, having been placed there early in the Reformation."

+
+CURIOUS MARRIAGE AGREEMENT.
+
+The original of the following paper is in existence in this city:
+
+      "To MRS. DEBORAH LEAMING.
+
+    "Madam.--Seeing I, Jacob Sprier, have addressed myself to you upon the
+    design of marriage, I therefore esteem it necessary to submit to your
+    consideration some particulars, before we enter upon that solemn
+    enterprise which may either establish our happiness or occasion our
+    inquietude during life, and if you concur with those particulars, I
+    shall have great encouragement to carry my design into execution; and
+    since happiness is the grand pursuit of a rational creature, so
+    marriage ought not to be attempted short of a prospect of arriving
+    thereat; and in order thereto (should we marry) I conceive the
+    following rules and particulars ought to be steadily observed and kept,
+    viz.:
+
+    "1st. That we keep but one purse: a severance of interest bespeaking
+    diffidence, mistrust, and disunity of mind.
+
+    "2nd. That we avoid anger as much as possible, especially with each
+    other; but if either should be overtaken therewith, the other to treat
+    the angry party with temper and moderation during the continuance of
+    such anger; and afterwards, if need require, let the matter of heat be
+    coolly discussed when reason shall resume its government.
+
+    "3rd. As we have different stocks of children to which we are and ought
+    to be strongly attached by ties of nature, so it's proper when such
+    children or any of them need correction, it be administered by the
+    party from whom they have descended; unless, in the opinion of both
+    parties, it shall be thought necessary to be otherwise administered for
+    the children's good.
+
+    "4th. That no difference or partiality be made with respect to such
+    children who live with us in point of common usage touching education,
+    food, raiment, and treatment, otherwise than as age, circumstance, and
+    convenience may render it necessary, to be agreed upon between us, and
+    grounded upon reason.
+
+    "5th. That civility, courtesy, and kind treatment be always exercised
+    and extended towards such child or children that now is or hereafter
+    may be removed from us.
+
+    "6th. That we use our mutual endeavours to instruct, counsel, improve,
+    admonish, and advise all our children, without partiality, for their
+    general good; and that we ardently endeavour to promote both their
+    temporal and eternal welfare.
+
+    "7th. That each of us use our best endeavours to inculcate upon the
+    minds of our respective stocks of children a venerable and honourable
+    opinion of the other of us; and avoid as much as possible any
+    insinuation that may have a different tendency.
+
+    "8th. That in matters where either of us is more capable of judging
+    than the other of us, and best acquainted therein, that the person so
+    most capable of judging, and best acquainted, do follow his or her own
+    judgment without control, unless the other shall be able to give a
+    sufficient reason to the contrary; then, and in such case, the same to

+    and expedient {194} with a mutual condescension, and also advise with
+    and consult each other in matters of importance.
+
+    "9th. That if any misunderstanding should arise, the same be calmly
+    canvassed and accommodated between ourselves, without admitting the
+    interposition of any other, or seeking a confident to either to reveal
+    our mind unto, or sympathise withal upon the occasion.
+
+    "10th. That no suspicious jealousies of any kind whatever be harboured
+    in our breasts, without absolute or good circumstantial evidence; and
+    if conceived upon proof or strong presumption, the same to be
+    communicated to the suspected person, in temper and moderation, and not
+    told to another.
+
+    "11th. That we be just, chaste, and continent to each other; and should
+    either prove otherwise, that then we separate, notwithstanding the most
+    solemn ties to the contrary, unless it shall suit the injured party to
+    forgive the injury and continue the coverture; and in case of
+    separation, each of us to keep such share of wealth as we were
+    possessed of when are came together, if it remains in the same state,
+    as to quantum; but if over or under, then in proportion to what we
+    originally had.
+
+    "12th. That we neither give into, nor countenance any ill advisers who

+
+    "17th. That in case Jacob Sprier, after trial, shall not think it for

+
+    "18th. That the said Jacob Sprier be allowed from time to time to

+
+    "21st. That if anything be omitted in the foregoing rules and

+    her deceased husband, neither shall anything of this nature be observed
+    by either to the other of us, with any view to offend or irritate the

+ANCIENT AMERICAN LANGUAGES.
+
+(_Continued from_ Vol. vi., pp. 60, 61.)
+
+Since communicating to you a short list of a few books I had noted as
+having reference to this obscure subject, I have stumbled over a few others
+which bear special reference to the Quichua: and of which I beg to send you
+a short account, which may be worthy a place in your valuable pages.
+
+The first work upon the Quichua language, of which I find mention, is a
+grammar of the Peruvian Indians (_Gramatica o arte general de la lengua de
+los Indios del Peru_), by the brother Domingo de San Thomas, published in
+Valladolid in 1560, and republished in the same year with an appendix,
+being a Vocabulary of the Quichua. The demand for the first edition appears
+to have been considerable; or, what is more likely, from the extreme rarity
+of the work, the careful author {195} suppressed or called in the first
+edition, in order to add, for the benefit of his purchasers, the vocabulary
+which he had found time to prepare within the year.
+
+The work of San Thomas seems to have glutted the market for some twenty
+years; for we do not find that any one made a collection of words or
+grammatical forms until the year 1586, when Antonio Ricardo published a
+kind of introduction to the Quichua, having sole reference to that
+language, without anything more than an explanation in Spanish.[1] This
+work, like that of his predecessor, was immediately remodelled and
+re-published in a very much extended form in the same year. Ricardo's books
+are amongst the first printed in that part of America.
+
+Diego de Torres Rubio is the next writer of whom I am cognizant. He
+published at Seville, in 1603, a grammar and vocabulary of the Quichua; the
+subject still continuing to attract attention. Still, as was to be
+expected, the Quichua language was of more consequence to the Spaniards of
+Peru. No doubt, therefore, that Father Juan Martinez found a ready sale for
+his vocabulary, published at Los Reyes in 1604. Indeed, the subject is now
+attracting the attention of the eminent Diego Gonzalez Holguin, who
+published first a new grammar (_Gramatica nuevu_) of the Quichua and Inca
+dialect, in four books, at the press of Francisco del Canto, in Los Reyes,
+1607; and second, a vocabulary of the language of the whole of Peru (_de
+todo el Peru_), in the same year and at the same press.
+
+It is worthy to remark, as confuting somewhat fully the assertion of
+Prescott (_Conquest of Peru_, v. ii. p. 188.), that the Spanish name of
+Ciudad de los Reyes ceased to be used in speaking of Lima "within the first
+generation," that the books of Ricardo, Holguin, and Huerta (of whom
+presently) are all stated to have been printed in the Ciudad de los Reyes,
+though the latest of these appeared in 1616. In 1614, however, to confine
+myself strictly to the bibliographical inquiry suggested by the heading of
+my article, a method and vocabulary of the Quichua did appear from Canto's
+press, dated Lima,--a corruption, as is well known, of the word _Rimac_.
+
+That, however, the Castilian name should be employed later, is curious. At
+any rate, it occurs for the last time on the title of a work printed by the
+same printer, Canto, in 1616; and written by Don Alonso de Huerta, the old
+title being adhered to, probably from some cause unknown to us, but
+possibly in consequence of old aristocratic opinions and prejudices in
+favour of the Spanish name. That the name of Lima had obtained considerably
+even in the time of the Conquerors, Mr. Prescott has sufficiently proved;
+but as an official and recognised name it evidently existed to a later
+period than the historian has mentioned.
+
+The work of Torres Rubio, already mentioned, was reprinted in Lima by
+Francisco Lasso in 1619. From this time forward, the subject of the native
+language of Peru seems to have occupied the attention of many writers. A
+quarto grammar was published by Diego de Olmos in 1633 of the Indian
+language, as the Quichuan now came to be called.
+
+Eleven years later, we find Fernando de Carrera, curate and vicar of San
+Martin de Reque, publishing an elaborate word bearing the following title:
+
+    "Arte de la lengua yunga de los valles del obispado de Truxillo; con un
+    confesonario y todas las oraciones cotidianas y otras cosas: Lima, por
+    Juan de Contreras, 1644, 16mo."
+
+Grammars and methods here follow thick and fast. A few years after
+Carrera's book, in 1648, comes Don Juan Roxo Mexia y Ocon, _natural de
+Cuzco_, as he proudly styles himself with a method of the Indian language:
+and after a few insignificant works, again another in 1691, by Estevan
+Sancho de Melgar.
+
+The most common works on the Quichua are the third and fourth editions of
+Torres Rubio, published at Lima in the years 1700 and 1754. Of these two
+works done with that care and evident pleasure which Jesuits always, and
+perhaps only, bestow upon these difficult by-roads of philology, I need say
+no more, as they are very well known.
+
+Before I close this communication, allow me to suggest to the readers and
+contributors to the truly valuable "N. & Q.," that no tittle of knowledge
+concerning these early philological researches ought to be allowed to
+remain unrecorded; and with the position which the "N. & Q." occupies, and
+the facilities that journal offers for the preservation of these stray
+scraps of knowledge, surely it would not be amiss to send them to the
+Editor, and let him decide as he is very capable of doing, as to their
+value.

+CONDUITT AND NEWTON
+
+In the prospectus of a new _Life_ of sir Isaac Newton, by sir David
+Brewster, it is stated that in examining the papers at Hurstbourne Park,
+the seat of the earl of Portsmouth, the discovery had been maple of
+"copious materials which Mr. Conduit had collected for a life of Newton,
+_which had never been supposed to exist_."
+
+About the year 1836 I consulted the principal biographers of
+Newton--Conduitt, Fontenelle, Birch, Philip Nichols, Thomas Thomson, Biot,
+{196} Brewster--and I have ever since believed that such materials _did
+exist_.
+
+We are assured by Mr. Edmund Turnor, in the preface to his _History of
+Grantham_, printed in 1806, which work is quoted in the prospectus, that
+the manuscripts at Hurstbourne Park then chiefly consisted of some
+pocket-books and memorandums of sir Isaac Newton, and "the information
+obtained by Mr. Conduitt for the purpose of writing his life." Moreover,
+the collections of Mr. Conduitt are repeatedly quoted in that work as
+distinct from the memoirs which were sent to M. de Fontenelle.
+
+I shall give another anecdote in refutation of the statement made in the
+prospectus, albeit a superfluity. In 1730 the author of _The Seasons_
+republished his _Poem to the memory of sir Isaac Newton_, with the addition
+of the lines which follow, and which prove that he was aware of the task on
+which Mr. Conduitt was then occupied. The lines, it should be observed,
+have been omitted in all the editions printed since 1738.
+
+  "This, CONDUITT, from thy rural hours we hope;
+  As through the pleasing shade, where nature pours
+  Her every sweet, in studious ease you walk;
+  The social passions smiling at thy heart,
+  That glows with all the recollected sage."
+
+The _pleasing shade_ indicates the grounds of Cranbury-lodge, in Hampshire,
+the seat of Mr. Conduitt--whose guest the poet seems previously to have
+been.
+
+Some inedited particulars of the life of Mr. Conduitt, drawn from various
+sources, I reserve for another occasion.

+Minor Notes.
+
+_The Music in Middleton's Tragi-Comedy of the "Witch."_--Joseph Ritson, in
+a letter addressed to J. C. Walker (July, 1797), printed in Pickering's
+edition of Ritson's _Letters_ (vol. ii. p. 156.) has the following
+passage:--
+
+    "It may be to your purpose, at the same time, to know that the songs in
+    Middleton's _Witch_, which appear also to have been introduced in
+    _Macbeth_, beginning, 'Hecate, Hecate, come away,' and 'Black spirits
+    and white,' have (as I am informed) been lately discovered in MS. with
+    the complete harmony, as performed at the original representation of
+    these plays. You will find the words in a note to the late editions of
+    Shakspeare; and I shall, probably, one of these days, obtain a sight of
+    the musick."
+
+The MS. here mentioned was in the collection of the late Mr. J. Stafford
+Smith, one of the Organists of the Chapel Royal. At the sale of this
+gentleman's valuable library it passed, with many other treasures of a
+similar nature, into my possession, where it now remains.

+
+_Mr. Macaulay and Sir Archibald Alison in error._--How was it that Mr.
+Macaulay, in two editions of his _History_, placed the execution of Lord
+Russell on Tower Hill? Did it not take place in Lincoln's Inn Fields? And
+why does Sir A. Alison, in the volume of his _History_ just published,
+speak of the children of Catherine of Arragon? and likewise inform us that
+Locke was expelled from Cambridge? Was he not expelled from the University
+of Oxford?
+
+ABHBA.
+
+"_Paid down upon the nail._"--The origin of this phrase is thus stated in
+the _Recollections of O'Keefe_ the dramatist:
+
+    "An ample piazza under the Exchange [in Limerick] was a thoroughfare:
+    in the centre stood a pillar about four feet high, and upon it a
+    circular plate of copper about three feet in diameter: this was called
+    _the nail_, and on it was paid the earnest for any commercial bargains
+    made; which was the origin of saying, 'Paid down upon the nail.'"
+
+But perhaps the custom, of which Mr. O'Keefe speaks, was common to other
+ancient towns?
+
+ABHBA.
+
+_Corpulence a Crime._--Mr. Bruce has written, in his _Classic and Historic
+Portraits_, that the ancient Spartan paid as much attention to the rearing
+of men as the cattle dealers in modern England do to the breeding of
+cattle. They took charge of firmness and looseness of men's flesh; and
+regulated the degree of fatness to which it was lawful, in a free state,
+for any citizen to extend his body. Those who dared to grow too fat, or too
+soft for military exercise and the service of Sparta, were soundly whipped.
+In one particular instance, that of Nauclis, the son of Polytus, the
+offender was brought before the Ephori, and a meeting of the whole people
+of Sparta, at which his unlawful fatness was publicly exposed; and he was
+threatened with perpetual banishment if he did not bring his body within
+the regular Spartan compass, and give up his culpable mode of living; which
+was declared to be more worthy of an Ionian than a son of Lacedaemon.

+    "If any young clergyman, somewhat agreeable in person, and who has a

+    morals and good temper, firmly attached to the present happy
+    establishment, and is willing to engage in the matrimonial estate with
+    an agreeable young lady in whose power it is immediately to bestow a
+    living of nearly 100l. per annum, in a very pleasant situation, with a
+    good prospect of preferment,--any person whom this may suit may leave a
+    line at the bar of the Union Coffee House in the Strand, directed to
+    Z. Z., within three days of this advertisement. The utmost secrecy and

+
+_The Year 1854._--This year commenced and will terminate on a Sunday. In
+looking through the Almanac, it will be seen that there are _five Sundays
+in five months_ of the year, viz. in January, April, July, October, and
+December; five _Mondays_ in January, May, July, and October; five
+_Tuesdays_ in January, May, August, and October; five _Wednesdays_ in
+March, May, August, and November; five _Thursdays_, in March, June, August,
+and November; five _Fridays_ in March, June, September, and December; five
+_Saturdays_ in April, July, September, and December; and, lastly,
+fifty-three _Sundays_ in the year.
+
+The age of her Majesty the Queen is thirty-five, or seven times five; and
+the age of Prince Albert the same.
+
+Last Christmas having fallen on the Sunday, I am reminded of the following
+lines:
+
+  "Lordings all of you I warn,
+  If the day that Christ was born
+  Fall upon a Sunday,
+  The winter shall be good I say,
+  But great winds aloft shall be;
+  The summer shall be fine and dry.
+  _By kind skill, and without loss,_
+  _Through all lands there shall be peace._
+  Good time for all things to be done;
+  But he that stealeth shall be found soon.
+  What child that day born may be,
+  A great lord he shall live to be."
+
+W. W.

+
+_A Significant Hint._--The following lines were communicated to me by a
+friend some years ago, as having been written by a blacksmith of the
+village of Tideswell in Derbyshire; who, having often been reproved by the
+parson, or ridiculed by his neighbours, for drunkenness, placed them on the
+church door the day after the event they commemorate:
+
+  "Ye Tideswellites, can this be true,
+    Which Fame's loud trumpet brings;
+  That ye, to view the Cambrian Prince,
+    Forsook the King of Kings?
+  That when his rattling chariot wheels,
+    Proclaim'd his Highness near,
+  Ye trod upon each others' heels,
+    To leave the house of prayer.
+  Be wise next time, adopt this plan,
+    Lest ye be left i' th' lurch;
+  And place at th' end of th' town a man
+    To ask him into Church."
+
+It is said that, on the occasion of the late Prince of Wales passing
+through Tideswell on a Sunday, a man was placed to give notice of his
+coming, and the parson and his flock rushed out to see him pass at full
+gallop.

+
+LITERARY QUERIES.
+
+MR. RICHARD BINGHAM will feel grateful to any literary friend who may be
+able to assist him in solving some or all of the following difficulties.
+
+1. Where does Panormitan or Tudeschis (_Commentar. in Quinque Libros
+Decretalium_) apply the term nullatenenses to titular and utopian bishops?
+See _Origines Ecclesiasticae_, 4. 6. 2.
+
+2. In which of his books does John Bale, Bishop of Ossory, speaking of the
+monks of Bangor, term them "Apostolicals?" See Ibid., 7. 2. 13.
+
+3. Where does Erasmus say that the preachers of the Roman Church invoked
+the Virgin Mary in the beginning of their discourses, much as the heathen
+poets were used to invoke their Muses? See Ibid., 14. 4. 15.; and
+_Ferrarius de Ritu Concionum_, l. I. c. xi.
+
+4. Bona (_Rer. Liturg._, l. II. c. ii. n. 1.) speaks of an epistle from
+Athanasius to Eustathius, where he inveighs against the Arian bishops, who
+in the beginning of their sermons said "_Pax vobiscum!_" while they
+harassed others, and were tragically at war. But the learned Bingham (14.
+4. 14.) passes this by, and leaves it with Bona, because there is no such
+epistle in the works of Athanasius. Where else? How can Bona's error be
+corrected? or is there extant _in operibus Athanasii_ a letter of his to
+some other person, containing the expressions to which Bona refers?
+
+5. In another place (_Rer. Liturg._, l. II. c. 4. n. 3.) Bona refers to
+tom. iii. p. 307. of an _Auctor Antiquitatum Liturgicarum_ for certain
+_formulae_; and Joseph Bingham (15. 1. 2.) understands him to mean
+_Pamelius_, whose work does not exceed two volumes. Neither does Pamelius
+notice at all the _first of the two formulae_, though he has the second, or
+nearly the same. How can this also be explained? And to what work, either
+anonymous or otherwise, did Bona refer in his expression "Auctor
+Antiquitatum Liturgicarum?"
+
+6. In which old edition of _Gratiani Decretum_, probably before the early
+part of the sixteenth century, can be found the unmutilated glosses of John
+Semeca, surnamed Teutonicus? and especially the gloss on _De Consecrat.,
+Distinct._ 4. c. 4., where he says that even in his time (1250?) the custom
+still prevailed in some places of giving the eucharist to babes? See _Orig.
+Ecclesiast._, 15. 4. 7.
+
+7. Joseph Bingham (16. 3. 6.) finds fault with Baronius for asserting that
+Pope Symmachus anathematized the Emperor Anastasius, and asserts that
+instead of _Ista quidem ego_, as given by Baronius and Binius, in the
+epistle of Symmachus, Ep. vii. al. vi. (see also Labbe and Cossart, t. iv.
+p. 1298.), the true reading is _Ista quidem nego_. How can this be
+verified? The epistle is not extant either in Crabbe or Merlin. Is the
+argument {198} of J. B. borne out by any good authority, either in
+manuscript or print?
+
+MR. BINGHAM will feel further obliged if the Replies to any or all of these
+Queries be forwarded direct to his address at 57. Gloucester Place, Portman
+Square, London.

+Claude de Dinteville, Seigneur de Polisi and Chevets in Burgundy, and his
+wife Jeanne de la Beaume, daughter of the Lord of Mont St. Sorlin. The
+other was nephew to the _Pierre_ above mentioned, son of his younger
+brother Gaucher, Lord of Polisi, &c.; and his wife, Anne du Plessis
+d'Ouschamps. His name was _Louis de Dinteville_: he was born June 25, 1503;
+was Commander of Tupigni and Villedieu, and died at Malta, July 22, 1531;
+leaving a natural son, Maria de Dinteville, Abbe of St. Michael de
+Tonnerre, who was killed in Paris by a pistol-shot in 1574. The brother of
+this Chevalier Louis, _Jean_, Seign. of Polisi, &c., was _ambassador_ in

+_Three Picture Queries._--1. Kugler (_Schools of Painting in Italy_, edited
+by Sir Charles Eastlake, 2nd edit., 1851, Part II. p. 284.), speaking of
+Leonardo da Vinci's cartoon, representing the victory of the Florentines in
+1440 over Nicolo Picinnino, general of the Duke of Milan, and which has now
+perished, says:
+
+    "Rubens copied from Leonardo's, a group of four horsemen fighting for a
+    standard: this is engraved by Edelingk, and is just sufficient to make
+    us bitterly deplore the loss of this rich and grand work."
+
+Does this picture exist? Does Edelingk's engraving state in whose
+possession it was then?
+
+2. Where can I find any account of a painter named St. Denis? From his name
+and style, he appears to have been French, and to have flourished
+subsequently to 1700.
+
+3. Titian painted Charles III., Duke of Bourbon and Constable of France,
+who was killed May 6, 1527, at the siege of Rome. Where is this picture? It
+is said to have been engraved by Noersterman. Where may I see the
+engraving?

+"_Cutting off with a Shilling._"--This is understood to have arisen from

+
+_Inman or Ingman Family._--The family of Inman, Ionman, or Ingman,
+variously spelt, derive from John of Gaunt. This family was settled for
+five successive generations at Bowthwaite Grange, Netherdale or Nithisdale,
+co. York, and inter-married with many of the principal families of that
+period.
+
+Alfred Inman married Amelia, daughter of Owen Gam. Who was Owen Gam?
+
+Arthur Inman married Cecilia, daughter of Llewellyn Clifford. Who was
+Llewellyn Clifford? Not mentioned in the Clifford Peerage. Perhaps MR.
+HUGHES, or some other correspondent of "N. & Q.," may know, and have the
+kindness to make known his genealogical history.
+
+This family being strong adherents of the House of Lancaster, raised a

+
+_Pepys._--I have lately acquired a collection of letters between Pepys and
+Major Aungier, Sir Isaac Newton, Halley, and other persons, relating to the
+management of the mathematical school at Christ's Hospital; and containing
+details of the career of some of the King's scholars after leaving the
+school. The letters extend from 1692 to 1695; and are the original letters
+received by Pepys, with his drafts of the answers. They are loosely
+stitched, in order of date, in a thick volume, and are two hundred and
+upwards in number. Are these letters known, and have they ever been
+published or referred to?

+Diss.
+
+    [It is a singular coincidence that we should receive the communication
+    of A. F. B. on the day of the publication of the new and much improved
+    library edition of Pepys's _Diary_. Would our correspondent permit us
+    to submit his collection to the editor of Pepys, who would no doubt be
+    gratified with a sight of it? We will guarantee its safe return, and
+    any expenses incurred in its transmission. On turning to the fourth
+    volume of the new edition of the _Diary_, we find the following letter
+    (now first published) from Dr. Tanner, afterwards Bishop of St. Asaph,
+    to Dr. Charlett, dated April 28, 1699:--"Mr. Pepys was just finishing a
+    letter to you last night when I gave him yours. I hear he has printed
+    some letters lately about the abuses of Christ's Hospital; they are
+    only privately handed about. A gentleman that has a very great respect
+    for Mr. Pepys, saw one of them in one of the Aldermen's hands, but
+    wishes there had been some angry expressions left out; which he fears
+    the Papists and other enemies of the Church of England will make ill
+    use of." Is anything known of this "privately printed" volume? In the

+
+"_Retainers to Seven Shares and a Half._"--Can any reader of "N. & Q.,"
+conversant with the literature of the seventeenth century, furnish an
+explanation of this phrase? It occurs in the preface to _Steps to the
+Temple, &c._, of Richard Crashaw (the 2nd edit., in the Savoy, 1670),
+addressed by "the author's friend" to "the learned reader," and is used in
+disparagement of pretenders to poetry. The passage runs thus:
+
+    "It were prophane but to mention here in the preface those under-headed
+    poets, retainers to seven shares and a half; madrigal fellows, whose
+    only business in verse is to rime a poor sixpenny soul, a subburb
+    sinner into hell," &c.
+
+H. L.
+
+    [The performers at our earlier theatres were distinguished into whole
+    shares, three-quarter sharers, half sharers, seven-and-a-half sharers,
+    hired men, &c. In one scene of the _Histriomastic_, 1610, the dissolute
+    performers having been arrested by soldiers, one of the latter
+    exclaims, "Come on, players! now we are the sharers, and you the hired
+    men;" and in another scene, Clout, one of the characters, rejects with
+    some indignation the offer of "half a share." Gamaliel Ratsey, in that
+    rare tract, _Ratseis Ghost_, 1606, knights the principal performer of a
+    company by the title of "Sir Three Shares and a Half;" and Tucca, in
+    Ben Jonson's _Poetaster_, addressing Histrio, observes, "Commend me to
+    Seven shares and a half," as if some individual at that period had
+    engrossed as large a proportion. Shakspeare, in _Hamlet_, speaks of "a
+    whole share" as a source of no contemptible emolument, and of the owner
+    of it as a person filling no inferior station in "a cry of payers." In
+    _Northward Ho!_ also, a sharer is noticed with respect. Bellamont the
+    poet enters, and tells his servant, "Sirrah, I'll speak with none:" on
+    which the servant asks, "Not a player?" and his master replies:
+
+                  "No, though a sharer bawl:
+      I'll speak with none, although it be the mouth
+      Of the big company."
+
+    The value of a share in any particular company would depend upon the
+    number of subdivisions, upon the popularity of the body, upon the
+    stock-plays belonging to it, upon the extent of its wardrobe, and the
+    nature of its properties.--See Collier's _English Dramatic Poetry_,
+    vol. iii. p. 427.]

+_Madden's "Reflections and Resolutions proper for the Gentlemen of
+Ireland."_--This work, by the Rev. Samuel Madden, was first published in
+Dublin in 1738, and was reprinted at the expense of the late Mr. Thomas
+Pleasants, in one vol. 8vo., pp. 224, Dub. 1816. I possess two copies of
+the original edition, likewise in one vol. 8vo., pp. 237, and I have seen
+about a dozen; and yet I find in the preface to the reprint the following
+paragraph:
+
+    "The very curious and interesting work which is now reprinted, and
+    intended for a wide and gratuitous circulation, is also of uncommon
+    rarity; there is not a copy of it in the library of Trinity College, or
+    in any of the other public libraries of this city, which have been
+    searched on purpose. (One was purchased some {200} years ago for the
+    library of the Royal Dublin Society, if I mistake not, for 1l. 6s., or
+    rather more.) The profoundly learned Vice-Provost, Doctor Barrett,
+    never met with one; and many gentlemen well skilled in the literature
+    of Ireland, who have been applied to for information on the subject,
+    are even unacquainted with the name of the book."
+
+Of Dr. Madden, known as "Premium" Madden, few memorials exist; and yet he
+was a man of whom Johnson said, "His was a name Ireland ought to honour."
+The book in question does not appear to be of "uncommon rarity." Is it
+considered by competent judges of "exceeding merit?" I would be glad to
+know.

+    [Probably, from this work having appeared anonymously, it was unknown
+    to the writers of his life in Chalmers' and Rose's _Biographical

+    Dr. Madden in his _Literary Anecdotes_, vol. ii. p. 32. A volume
+    containing the _Reflections and Resolutions_, together with the

+_King Edward I.'s Arm._--Fuller, speaking of the death and character of

+    and a praiseworthy platform for succeeding princes to
+    imitate."--_Church History_, b. iii., A.D. 1307.

+gives no reference apparently considering the fact too well established to
+require any.

+
+    [Ask that staunch and sturdy royalist, Peter Heylin, whether Old Tom is

+    given above, we should not read _Richard I._ for Edward I. In

+RAPPING NO NOVELTY; AND TABLE-TURNING.
+
+(Vol. viii., pp. 512. 632.; Vol. ix., pp. 39. 88. 135.)
+
+    "There is a curious criminal process on record, manuscript 1770,
+    noticed by Voltaire as in the library of the King of France, which was
+    founded upon a remarkable set of visions said to have occurred to the
+    monks of Orleans.
+
+    "The illustrious house of St. Memin had been very liberal to the
+    convent, and had their family vault under the church. The wife of a
+    Lord of St. Memin, Provost of Orleans, died, and was buried. The
+    husband, thinking that his ancestors had given more than enough to the
+    convent, sent the monks a present, which they thought too small. They
+    formed a plan to have her body disinterred, and to force the widower to
+    pay a second fee for depositing it again in holy ground.
+
+    "The soul of the lady first appeared to two of the brethren, and said
+    to them, 'I am damned, like Judas, because my husband has not given
+    sufficient.' They hoped to extort money for the repose of her soul. But
+    the husband said, 'If she is really damned, all the money in the world
+    won't save her,' and gave them nothing. Perceiving their mistake, they
+    declared she appeared again, saying she was in _Purgatory_, and {201}
+    demanding to be disinterred. But this seemed a curious request, and
+    excited suspicion, for it was not likely that a soul in purgatory would
+    ask to have the body removed from holy ground, neither had any in
+    purgatory ever been known to desire to be exhumed.
+
+    "The soul after this did not try _speaking_ any more, but haunted
+    everybody in the convent and church. Brother Peter of Arras adopted a
+    very awkward manner of conjuring it. He said to it, 'If thou art the
+    soul of the late Madame de St. Memin, strike four knocks,' and the four
+    knocks were struck. 'If thou art damned, strike six knocks,' and the
+    six knocks were struck. 'If thou art still tormented in hell, because
+    thy body is buried in holy ground, knock six more times,' and the six
+    knocks were heard still more distinctly. 'If we disinter thy body, wilt
+    thou be less damned, certify to us by five knocks,' and the soul so
+    certified. This statement was signed by twenty-two cordeliers. The
+    father provincial asked the same questions and received the same
+    answers. The Lord of St. Memin prosecuted the father cordeliers. Judges
+    were appointed. The general of the commission required that they should
+    be burned; but the sentence only condemned them to make the 'amende
+    honorable,' with a torch in their bosom, and to be banished."
+
+This sentence is of the 18th of February, 1535. Vide Abbe Langlet's
+_History of Apparitions_.
+
+From the above extract, and from what your correspondents MR. JARDINE and
+R. I. R. have written, it is satisfactorily shown that rapping is no
+novelty, having been known in England and France some centuries ago. MR.
+JARDINE has given us an instance in 1584, and leads us to suppose that it
+was the earliest on record. I now give one as early as 1534; and it would
+be interesting to know if the monks of Orleans were the first to have
+practised this imposition, and to have been banished for their deception
+and fraud.

+GENERAL WHITELOCKE.
+
+(Vol. viii., pp. 521. 621.)
+
+Much interesting information concerning General Whitelocke, about whose
+conduct some difference of opinion appears to exist, will be found in the
+Rev. Erskine Neale's _Risen from the Ranks_ (London, Longmans, 1853); but
+neither the date nor the place of his death is there given. The reverend
+writer's account of the general's conduct is not at all favourable. After
+alluding to him as "a chief unequal to his position," he says:
+
+    "John Whitelocke was born in the year 1759, and received his early
+    education in the Grammar School at Marlborough. His father was steward
+    to John, fourth Earl of Aylesbury; and the peer, in {202}
+    acknowledgment of the faithful services of his trusted dependent,
+    placed young Whitelocke at Lochee's Military Academy, near Chelsea.
+    There he remained till 1777, when, the Earl's friendly disposition
+    remaining in full force, and the youth's predilection for a military
+    career continuing unabated, an ensigncy was procured him, through Lord
+    Aylesbury's intervention, in the 14th regiment of Foot."--_Risen from
+    the Ranks_, p. 68.
+
+Through the influence of his brother-in-law, General Brownrigge,
+Whitelocke's promotion was rapid; and in 1807 he was gazetted
+commander-in-chief of an expedition destined for the recapture of Buenos
+Ayres. His conduct during this expedition became the subject of a
+court-martial; he was found guilty, sentenced to be cashiered, and declared
+to be "totally unfit to serve his Majesty in any military capacity
+whatever."
+
+Judging from the evidence adduced, the conduct of the commander-in-chief
+was totally unworthy of the flag under which he served, and highly
+calculated to arouse the indignation of the men whom he commanded; and for
+some considerable time, whenever the soldiers met together to take a
+friendly glass, the toast was, "Success to _grey hairs_, but bad luck to
+_White-locks_!" On the whole, the Rev. E. Neale's account seems to be quite
+impartial; and most persons, after reading the evidence of the general's
+extremely vacillating conduct, will be inclined to agree with him in
+awarding this unfortunate officer the title of the "Flincher-General at
+Buenos Ayres."
+
+JAMES SPENCE HARRY.
+
+I have only just seen your correspondent's Reply (Vol. ix., p. 87.)
+respecting General Whitelocke. He is right in stating that the general
+resided at Clifton: he might have added, as late as 1830; but he had
+previously, for time, lived at Butcombe Court, Somersetshire.
+
+There is an anecdote still rife in the neighbourhood, that when Whitelocke
+came down to see the house before taking it, he put up at an inn, and after
+dinner asked the landlord to take a glass of wine with him. Upon
+announcing, however, who he was, the landlord started up and declared he
+would not drink another glass with him, throwing down at the same time the
+price of the bottle, that he might not be indebted to the general.
+
+Respecting the story of the flints, it is said that he desired them to be
+taken out of the muskets, wishing that the men should only use their
+bayonets against the enemy.
+
+ARDELIO.
+
+I remember well that soon after the unsuccessful attack of General
+Whitelocke upon Buenos Ayres, it was stated that the flints had been taken
+out of the muskets of some of our regiments because they were quite raw
+troops, and the General thought that they might, from want of knowledge and
+use of fire-arms, do more mischief to themselves than to the enemy, and
+that they had better trust to the bayonet alone. The consequence was, that
+when they entered the streets of the town, they found no enemy in them to
+whom they could apply the bayonet. The inhabitants and troops were in the
+strong stone houses, and fired on and killed our men with perfect impunity,
+as not a shot could be fired in return: to surrender was their only chance
+of life. A reference to a file of newspapers of that date (which I am too
+lazy to make myself) will show whether this was understood at the time to
+be a fact or not.
+
+J. SS.
+
+In the _Autobiography of B. Haydon_ (I think vol. i.), he mentions that as
+he was passing through Somersetshire on his way from Plymouth to London, he
+saw General Whitelocke. A reference to the passage may interest G. L. S.
+
+W. DENTON.
+
+The following charade was in vogue at the time of Whitelocke's death:
+
+  "My first is an emblem of purity;
+  My second is that of security;
+  My whole forms a name
+  Which, if yours were the same,
+  You would blush to hand down to posterity."

+"MAN PROPOSES, BUT GOD DISPOSES."
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 552.; Vol. ix., p. 87.)
+
+1. If your correspondent H. P. will again examine my communication on this
+subject, he will find that I have _not_ overlooked the view which
+attributes the _De Imitatione_ to John Gerson, but have expressly referred
+to it.
+
+2. If Gerson _was_ the author, this will not prove that in quoting the
+proverb in question, Piers Ploughman quoted from the _De Imitatione_, as
+H. P. supposes. The dates which I gave will show this. The _Vision_ was
+written about A.D. 1362, whereas, according to Du Pin, John Gerson was born
+December 14, 1363, took a prominent part in the Council of Constance, 1414,
+and died in 1429. Of the Latin writers of the fifteenth century, Mosheim
+says:
+
+    "At their head we may justly place John Gerson, Chancellor of the
+    University of Paris, the most illustrious ornament that this age can
+    boast of, a man of great influence and authority, whom the Council of
+    Constance looked upon an its oracle, the lovers of liberty as their
+    patron, and whose memory is yet precious to such among the French
+    clergy as are at all zealous for the maintenance of their privileges
+    against papal despotism."--_Ecc. Hist._, cent. xv. ch. ii. sec. 24.
+
+3. Gerson was not a Benedictine monk, but a Parisian cure, and Canon of
+Notre Dame:
+
+    "He was made curate (_cure_, parson or rector) of St. John's, in Greve,
+    on the 29th of March, 1408, and {203} continued so to 1413, when in a
+    sedition raised by the partizans of the Duke of Burgundy, his house was
+    plundered by the mob, and he obliged to fly into the church of Notre
+    Dame, where he continued for some time concealed."--Du Pin, _History of
+    the Church_, cent. xv. ch. viii.
+
+It is said that the treatise in question first appeared--
+
+    "Appended to a MS. of Gerson's _De Consolatione Theologiae_, dated
+    1421. This gave rise to the supposition that he was the real author of
+    that celebrated work; and indeed it is a very doubtful point whether
+    this opinion is true or not, there being several high authorities which
+    ascribe to him the authorship of that book."--Knight's _Penny
+    Cyclopaedia_, vol. vi. art. "Gerson."
+
+Was there then _another_ John Gerson, a monk, and Abbot of St. Stephen,
+between 1200 and 1240, to whom, as well as to the above, the _De
+Imitatione_ has been ascribed? This, though not impossible, appears
+extremely improbable. Is H. P. prepared with evidence to prove it?
+
+Du Pin, in the chapter above quoted, farther says, in speaking of the _De
+Imitatione Christi_:

+    "The style is pretty much like that of the other devotional books of

+    things which will hardly let us believe that this was Gerson's book;

+    without deciding positively in his favour."

+
+NAPOLEON'S SPELLING.
+
+(Vol. viii., pp. 386. 502.)
+
+The question as to Napoleon's spelling may seem, at first sight, to be one
+of little importance; and yet, if we will look at it aright, we shall find
+that it involves many points of interest for the philosopher and the
+historian. During a residence of some years in France, I had heard it
+remarked, more than once, by persons who appeared hostile to the Napoleon
+dynasty, that its great founder had, in his bulletins and other public
+documents, shown an unaccountable ignorance of the common rules of
+orthography: but I had never seen the assertion put forth by any competent
+writer until I met with the remarks of Macaulay, already quoted by me, Vol.
+viii., p. 386.
+
+In reply to my inquiry as to the authority for this statement, your
+correspondent C. has readily and kindly furnished a passable from
+Bourrienne's _Memoires_, in which it is alleged that Napoleon's
+"orthographe est en general _extraordinairement estropiee_."
+
+From all this it must be taken for granted, as, indeed, it has never been
+denied, that Napoleon's spelling is defective; but the question to be
+considered is, whether that defectiveness was the effect of ignorance or of
+design. That it did not arise from ignorance would seem probable for the
+following reasons.
+
+Napoleon received his education chiefly in France; and it is to be presumed
+that the degree of instruction in grammar, orthography, &c., _ordinarily_
+bestowed on educated Frenchmen, was not withheld from him.
+
+To say the least of it, he was endued with sufficient intelligence to
+acquire an _ordinary_ knowledge of such matters.
+
+Nay more: he was a man of the highest order of genius. Between the
+possession of genius, and a knowledge of orthography, there is, I admit, no
+necessary connexion. The humblest pedagogue may be able to spell more
+correctly than the greatest philosopher. But neither, on the other hand,
+does genius of any kind necessarily preclude a knowledge of spelling.
+
+While still a young man, Napoleon wrote several works in French, such as
+the _Souper de Beaucaire_, the _Memoire sur la Culture du Murier_, &c. Some
+of the manuscripts of these writings must be still extant; and a comparison
+of the spelling of his unpretending youth, with that of his aspiring {204}
+manhood, would show at once whether the "_orthographe extraordinairement
+estropiee_" of his later productions was the result of habit or design.
+
+The orthography of the French language is peculiarly intricate; and it is
+no uncommon thing to meet with educated men in that country who are unable
+to spell with accuracy. That Napoleon may have been in a similar
+predicament, would not be surprising; but that it should be said of the
+most _extraordinary_ man of the age, that his spelling is
+_extraordinairement estropiee_, seems inexplicable upon any fair
+supposition, except that he accounted the rules of spelling unworthy the
+attention of any but copyists and office drudges; or (which is more
+probable) that he wished this extraordinary spelling to be received as an
+indication of the great rapidity with which he could commit his thoughts to
+paper.

+MEMOIRS OF GRAMMONT.
+
+(Vol. viii., pp. 461. 549.; Vol. ix., p. 3.)
+
+There appearing to be a strong feeling that a correct edition of these
+_Memoirs_ should be published, with the present inaccurate notes thoroughly
+revised, I send you a few notes from a collection I have made on the
+subject.
+
+The proper orthography of the name is "Gramont," and the family probably
+originally came from Spain. Matta's friend, the Marquis de Sevantes,
+asserts the fact; and it is corroborated by the fact, that on the occasion
+of the Marshal de Grammont's demanding the hand of the Infanta Maria
+Theresa for Louis XIV., the people cried, "Viva el Marescal de Agramont,
+que es de nuestro sangue!" And the King of Spain said to the Marshal after
+the presentation of his sons, the Counts de Guiche and De Louvigny, "Teneis
+Muy Buenos y lindos hijos y bien se hecha de ver que los Agramonteses salen
+de la sangue de Espana."
+
+The Grammont family had been so enriched and ennobled by its repeated
+marriages with the heiresses of great families, that, like many noble
+houses of our own times, members of it hardly knew their own correct
+surname: thus, in the famous declaration of the parliament of Paris against
+the Peers in 1717, on the subject of the Caps, it was said:
+
+    "The Grammonts have determined on their armorial bearings, and hold to
+    those of the house of Aure. The Count de Grammont said one day to the
+    Marshal, What arms shall we use this year?"
+
+The Grammonts in the male line are descended from Sancho Garcia d'Aure,
+Viscount de l'Arboust. Menaud d'Aure, his lineal representative, married
+Claire de Grammont, sister and heiress of Jean, Seigneur de Grammont, and
+daughter of Francis, Seigneur de Grammont, and Catherine d'Andoins his
+wife.
+
+Menaud d'Aure is the ancestor who is disguised in the _Memoirs_ as
+"Menaudaure" and "Menodore;" and in the notes, coupled with "la belle
+Corisande," they are styled two of the ancestresses of the family
+celebrated for their beauty.
+
+Philibert, who was styled Philibert de Grammont and de Toulongeon, Count de
+Grammont and de Guiche, Viscount d'Aster, Captain of fifty men at arms,
+Governor and Mayor of Bayonne, Seneschal of Bearne, married on Aug. 7,
+1567, Diana, better known as "La belle Corisande" d'Andouins, Viscountess
+de Louvigny, Dame de Lescun, the only daughter of Paul Viscount de
+Louvigny; who, although a Huguenot, was killed at the siege of Rouen,
+fighting under the command of the Duke de Guise. They had two children:
+Antoine, subsequently the first duke, and Catherine, who married Francois
+Nompar de Chaumont, Count de Lauzun, the ancestor of the celebrated Duke de
+Lauzun, who was first introduced at court by his relative the Marshal de
+Grammont.
+
+This Philibert, Count de Grammont, was killed at the siege of La Fere in
+Aug. 1580. The connexion between his widow, the fair Corisande, and Henry
+IV., was subsequent to the Count's death.
+
+The Duchy Peerage was created on Dec. 13, 1643. Antoine, the first duke,
+married, firstly, on Sept. 1, 1601, Louise, eldest daughter of the Marshal
+de Roquelaure; she died in 1610, leaving Antoine, subsequently the Marshal
+Duke de Grammont, and Roger, Count de Louvigny, killed in a duel in
+Flanders on March 18, 1629. The Duke de Grammont married, secondly, on
+March 29, 1618, Claude, eldest daughter of Louis de Montmorency, Baron de
+Boutteville; and had Henri, Count de Toulongeon, who died unmarried on
+Sept. 1, 1679; Philibert, the celebrated Chevalier de Grammont, who was
+born in 1621; and three daughters.
+
+The Marshal de Grammont was one of the most celebrated men of the court of
+Louis XIV.: he was a favourite both of Richelieu and Mazarin, and married a
+niece of the former; and, as a wit, was not inferior to his brother the
+Chevalier. He sided with the Court during the wars of the Fronde; whilst
+the Chevalier in the first instance joined the Prince of Conde, probably
+from their mutual connexion with the Montmorency family. The Marshal died
+at Bayonne, on July 12, 1678, aged seventy-four years, leaving four
+children, of whom the Count de Guiche and the Princess de Monaco are well
+known.
+
+The Chevalier de Grammont received his outfit from his mother, and joined
+the army under Prince Thomas of Savoy, then besieging Trin in Piedmont,
+which was taken on Sept. 24, 1643. The notes to the _Memoirs_ say May 4,
+1639; but that {205} was a former siege by the French, then under the
+command of the Cardinal de la Vallette.
+
+Probably this will be as much as you can afford space for at present, and I
+will therefore reserve any farther communications for a future Number.

+THE MYRTLE BEE.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 593.)
+
+Ere venturing an opinion as to the exact size of the above, as compared
+with the Golden-crested Wren, I should much like to ascertain where I am
+likely to meet with a faithful specimen of the latter? The Myrtle Bee is
+about half the size of the common Wren, certainly not larger: and I always
+took it for granted, the bird derived its name from its diminutiveness and
+the cover it frequented. I cannot say the bird was generally known in the
+neighbourhood, having only met with it when in company with sportsmen, in a
+description of country little frequented by others. I originally obtained
+the name when a boy from a deceased parent whom I accompanied out shooting;
+and for a succession of years the bird was familiar to me, in fact, to all
+sportsmen of that period who shot over the immediate locality; we all knew
+it, although its name was seldom mentioned. In fact, it never induced a
+thought beyond--"Confound the bees, how they bother the dogs"--or some such
+expression. I am unacquainted with the Dartford Warbler (_Sylvia
+provincialis_, Gmel.); but the description as quoted by Mr. Salmon from
+Yarrell's _Hist. of British Birds_, 1839, vol. i. p. 311. et seq., differs
+from the Myrtle Bee. The Warbler is said to haunt and build among furze on
+commons, and flies with jerks; whereas I never met with the Myrtle Bee
+among furze, neither does it fly with jerks: on the contrary, its short
+flight is rapid, steady, and direct. The description of the Warbler appears
+to agree with a small bird well known here as the Furze Chat, but which is
+out of all proportion as compared with the Myrtle Bee.
+
+As regards the Query touching the possibility of my memory being
+treacherous respecting the colour of the bird, after a lapse of twenty-five
+years, more faith will be placed therein on my stating that I am an old
+fly-fisher, making my own flies: and that no strange bird ever came to hand
+without undergoing a searching scrutiny as to colour and texture of the
+feathers, with the view of converting it to fishing purposes. No such use
+could be made of the Bee. In a former Number I described the tongue of the
+Myrtle Bee as round, sharp, and pointed at the end, appearing capable of
+penetration. I beg to say that I was solely indebted to accident in being
+able to do so, viz. the tongue protruded beyond the point of the bill,
+owing to the pressure it received in my dog's mouth; the dog having brought
+it out enveloped in dead grass, from the foot of the myrtle bush.

+
+CELTIC ETYMOLOGY.
+
+(Vol. ix., p. 136.)
+
+MR. CROSSLEY seems to confine the word _Celtic_ to the Irish branch of that
+dialect. My notion of the words _iosal_ and _iriosal_ is taken from the
+Highland Gaelic, and the authorised version of the Bible in that language.
+Let Celtic scholars who look to the sense of words in the _four_ spoken
+languages, decide between us. There can be no doubt of the meaning of the
+two words in the Gaelic of Job v. 11. and Ps. iv. 6. In Welsh, and (I
+believe) in bas-Breton, there is no word similar to _uim_ or _umhal_, in
+the senses of _humus_ and _humilis_, to be found. In Gaelic _uir_ is more
+common than _uim_, and _talamh_ more common than either in the sense of
+_humus_; and in that of _humble_, _iosal_ and _iriosal_ are much more
+common than _umhal_.
+
+It is certain that Latin was introduced into Ireland before it reached the
+Highlands, and Christianity with it; and therefore, as this word is not
+found in one branch of the Celtic at all, and is not a very common word in
+another, it is not unreasonable to suppose that it is of Latin origin. The
+sense which MR. CROSSLEY declares to be the only sense of _iosal_ and
+_iriosal_, is precisely that which is the nearest to the original meaning
+of _low_, and _low as the earth_; and this is also the sense which
+_humilis_ always bears in classical Latin, though Christianity (which first
+recognised _humility_ as a virtue, instead of stigmatising it as a
+meanness) attached to it the sense which its derivatives in all modern
+Romance languages, with the exception of Italian, exclusively bear.
+
+Now MR. CROSSLEY has omitted to notice the fact that _umhal_ in Gaelic,
+and, I believe, _umal_ in Irish, have not the intermediate sense of _low_
+and _cringing_, but only the Christian sense of _humble_, as a virtuous
+attribute. It seems natural that if _uim_ and _umal_ were radical words,
+the latter would bear the some relation to _uim_, in every respect, which
+_humilis_ does to _humus_, its supposed derivative. But unless _humus_ be
+derived from [Greek: chamai] (the root of [Greek: chthon] and [Greek:
+chthamalos]), how does MR. CROSSLEY account for the _h_, which had a sound
+in Latin as well as _horror_ and _hostilis_, both of which retain the
+aspirate in English, though they lose it in French? If MR. CROSSLEY will
+tell me why _horreur_ and _hostile_ have no aspirate in French, I will tell
+him why _heir_, _honour_, and _humour_ have none in English, though _humid_
+(which is as closely connected with _humour_, as _humidus_ is with _humor_)
+retains the aspirate. {206}
+
+These Celtic etymologies, however, though amusing, do not touch the main
+point, which is simply this: the usual mode of pronouncing the word
+_humble_ in good English society. What that is, seems to be so
+satisfactorily shown by your correspondent S. G. C., Vol. viii., p. 393.,
+that all farther argument on the subject would be superfluous.

+PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.
+
+_Improvements in the Albumenized Process._--Your expectation of being soon
+able to announce the successful manufacture of a new negative calotype
+paper, will, I am sure, be gladly received by many photographers, and
+especially by those who, like me, have been subjected to much
+disappointment with Turner's paper. For one sheet that has turned out well,
+at least half-a-dozen have proved useless from spottiness, and some sheets
+do not take the iodizing solution evenly, from an apparent want of
+uniformity in the texture of the paper, which causes the solution to
+penetrate portions the moment it is laid on the solution. Undoubtedly, when
+it does succeed, it is superior to Whatman's, but this is not enough to
+compensate for its extreme uncertainty.
+
+In DR. DIAMOND'S directions for the calotype, he gave a formula for the
+addition of bromide of potassium to the iodide of potassium, but did not
+speak with much certainty as to the proportions. Will he kindly say whether
+he has made farther trials; and if so, whether they confirm the proportions
+given by him, or have led him to adopt any change in this respect? and will
+he likewise say whether the iodizing solution which he recommends for
+Turner's paper, is suitable also to Whatman's?
+
+In albumenizing paper, I have not found it desirable to remove the paper
+very slowly from the solution. Whenever I have done so, it has invariably
+dried with waves and streaks, which quite spoiled the sheet. A steady
+motion, neither too slow nor too quick, I have found succeed perfectly, so
+that I now never spoil a sheet. I have used the solution with less albumen
+than recommended by DR. DIAMOND. My formula has been.--
+
+  Albumen              8 oz.
+  Water                12 oz.
+  Muriate ammon.       60 grs.
+  Common salt          60 grs.
+
+And this, I find, gives a sufficient gloss to the paper; but that of course
+is a matter of taste.
+
+I have not either found it essential to allow the paper to remain on the
+solution three minutes or longer, as recommended by DR. DIAMOND. With
+Canson paper, either negative or positive, a minute and a half has been
+sufficient. I have used two dishes, and as soon as a sheet was removed,
+drained, and replaced, I have taken the sheet from the other dish. In this
+way I found that each sheet lay on the solution about one and a half
+minutes, and with the assistance of a person to hang and dry them (which I
+have done before a fire), I have prepared from forty to forty-five sheets
+in an hour, requiring of course to be ironed afterwards.
+
+I have tried a solution of nitrate of silver of thirty grains to one ounce
+of distilled water, to excite this paper, and it appears to answer just as
+well as forty grains. I send you two small collodion views, takes by me and
+printed on albumenized paper prepared as mentioned, and excited with a
+30-grain solution of nitrate of silver.
+
+Is there any certain way of telling the right side of Canson paper,
+negative and positive? On the positive paper on one side, when held in a
+particular position towards the light, shaded bars may be observed; and on
+this side, when looked _through_, the name reads right. Is this the right
+or the wrong side?
+
+C. E. F.
+
+Since I wrote to you last, I have tried a solution of twelve grains only of
+nitrate of silver to the ounce of distilled water, for the paper
+albumenized, as mentioned in my letter of the 13th of February, and have
+found it to answer perfectly. The paper I used was _thin_ Canson, floated
+for one minute exactly on the solution; but I have no doubt the thick
+Canson will succeed just as well; and here I may observe that I have never
+found any advantage in allowing the paper to rest on the solution for three
+or four minutes, as generally recommended, but the contrary, as the paper,
+without being in the least more sensitive, becomes much sooner discoloured
+by keeping. My practice has been to float the thin Canson about half a
+minute, and the thick Canson not more than a minute.
+

+
+_Mr. Crookes on restoring old Collodion._--I am happy to explain to your
+correspondent what I consider to be the _rationale_ of the process.
+
+The colour which iodized collodion assumes on keeping, I consider to be
+entirely due to the gradual separation of iodine from the iodide of
+potassium or ammonium originally introduced. There are several ways in
+which this may take place; if the cotton on paper contain the slightest
+trace of nitric acid, owing to its not being _thoroughly_ washed (and this
+is not as easy as is generally supposed), the liberation of iodine in the
+collodion is certain to take place a short time after its being made.
+
+It is possible also that there may be a gradual decomposition of the
+zyloidin itself, and consequent liberation of the iodide by this means,
+with formation of nitrate of potassa or ammonia; but the most probable
+cause I consider to be the following. The ether gradually absorbs oxygen
+from the atmosphere, being converted into acetic acid; this, by its
+superior affinities, reacts on the iodide present, converting it into
+acetate, with liberation of hydriodic acid; while this latter, under the
+influence of the atmospheric oxygen, is very rapidly converted into water
+and iodine.
+
+I am satisfied by experiment that this is one of the causes of the
+separation of iodine, and I think it is the only one, for the following
+reason; neither bromised nor chlorised collodion undergo the slightest
+change of colour, however long they may be kept. Now, if the former
+agencies were at work, there is no reason why bromine should not be
+liberated from a bromide as well as iodine from an iodide; but on the
+latter {207} supposition, could take place, the affinities of acetic acid
+being insufficient to displace hydrobromic acid.
+
+A great many experiments which I tried last autumn, for the express purpose
+of clearing up this point, have convinced me that, _caeteris paribus_, the
+addition of free iodine to the iodizing solution, tends to diminish the
+sensitiveness of the subsequently formed iodide of silver. On paper, this
+diminution of sensitiveness is attended with some advantages, so that at
+present I hardly know whether to introduce the free iodine or not; but in
+collodion, as far as my experience goes, I see no reason for retaining it;
+on the contrary, everything seems to be in favour of its removal.
+
+I can hardly imagine that the increased sensitiveness mentioned by MR.
+HENNAH is really due to the free iodine which he introduces. Such a result
+being so contrary to all my experience, I would venture to suggest that
+there must be some other cause for its beneficial action; for instance,
+commercial iodide of potassium is generally alkaline, owing to impurities
+present; the tincture of iodine in this case would render the collodion
+neutral, and unless a very large excess of iodine were introduced, its good
+effects would be very apparent. This, however, involving the employment of
+impure chemicals, is a very improbable explanation of a phenomenon observed
+by so excellent an operator as MR. HENNAH: there is most likely some local
+cause which would be overlooked unless expressly searched for.
+
+With regard to the point, whether the free iodine is the _sole_ cause of
+the deterioration of old collodion, I should say decidedly not, at least in
+a theoretical view; the liberation of free iodine necessitates some other
+changes in the collodion, and the result must be influenced by these in one
+way or another, but practically I have as yet found nothing to warrant the
+supposition that they perceptibly interfere with the sensitiveness of the
+film.
+
+In the above I have endeavoured as much as possible to avoid
+technicalities, in order to make it intelligible to amateurs; but if there
+be any part which may be considered obscure, on its being pointed out to
+me, I will endeavour to solve the difficulty.

+papers?
+
+2. DR. MANSELL recommends, as a test for the iodized paper, a _strong_
+solution of bichloride of mercury; may we ask _how strong_?
+
+3. MR. SISSON'S developing fluid has undergone so many changes, and has
+been so much written about, that we are at a loss to discover or to
+determine whether it has been at length settled, in the mind of the
+inventor, that it will do equally well for negatives as for positives.

+are from an exquisite _morceau_ entitled _To Lucasta, on going to the
+Wars_, by the gay, gallant, and ill-fated cavalier, Richard Lovelace, whose
+undying loyalty and love, and whose life, and every line that he wrote, are
+all redolent of the best days of chivalry. They are to be found in a 12mo.
+volume, _Lucasta_, London, 1649. The entire piece is so short, that I
+venture to subjoin it:
+
+  "Tell me not, sweet, I am unkinde,
+    That from the nunnerie
+  Of thy chaste breast and quiet minde,
+    To warre and armes I flie.
+
+  "True, a new mistresse now I chase,
+    The first foe in the field;
+  And with a stronger faith imbrace
+    A sword, a horse, a shield.
+
+  "Yet this inconstancy is such,
+    As you too shall adore;
+  I could not love thee, deare, so much,
+    Loved I not honour more."
+
+To the honour of Kent be it remembered that Lovelace was       CANTIANUS.

+    amours to a gentlewoman of great beauty and fortune, named Lucy

+    married."--Wood's _Athenae Oxonienses_, vol. iii. p. 462.]
+
+_Sir Charles Cotterell_ (Vol. viii., p. 564.).--Sir Charles Cotterell, the
+translator of _Cassandra_, was Master of the Ceremonies to Charles II.;
+which office he resigned to his son in 1686, and died about 1687. I cannot
+say where he was buried. I am in possession of a copy of--
+
+    "The Memorialls of Margaret de Valoys, first Wife to Henry the Fourth,
+    King of France and Navarre; compiled in French by her own most delicate
+    and Royal hand, and translated into English by Robert Codrington,
+    Master of Arts: London, printed by R. H. 1661."
+
+It is dedicated to "To the true lover of all good learning, the truly
+honourable Sir Charles Cotterell, Knight, Master of the Ceremonies," &c. On
+the fly-leaf of it is written, "Frances Cottrell, her booke, given by my
+honor'd grandfather Sir Cha. Cottrell." This edition is not mentioned by
+Lowndes; he only speaks of one of the date of 1662, with a title slightly
+different.

+
+_Muffins and Crumpets_ (Vol. ix., p. 77).--Crumpet, according to Todd's
+_Johnson_, is derived from A.-S. [Anglo-Saxon: crompeht], which Boswell
+explains, "full of crumples, wrinkled." Perhaps muffin is derived from, or
+connected with, the following:
+
+    "MOFFLET. _Moffletus._ Mofletus Panis delicatioris species, qui diatim
+    distribui solet Canonicis praebendariis; Tolosatibus _Pain Moufflet_,
+    quasi _Pain molet_ dictus; forte quod ejusmodi panes singulis diebus
+    coquantur, atque recentes et teneri distribuantur."--_Du Cange._
+
+The latter part of the description is very applicable to this article.
+
+Under _Panes Praebendarii_, Du Cange says, "Innoc. Cironus observat
+ejusmodi panes Praebendarios dici, et in Tolosano tractu _Moufflets_
+appellari." (See "N. & Q," Vol. i., pp. 173. 205. 253.)
+
+ZEUS.
+
+Todd, for the derivation of crumpet, gives the Saxon [Anglo-Saxon:
+crompeht]. To _crump_ is to eat a hard cake (Halliwell's _Archaisms_).
+Perhaps its usual accompaniment on the tea-table may be indebted for its
+name to its muff-like softness to the touch before toasting.
+
+MACKENZIE WALCOTT, M.A.
+
+"_Clunk_" (Vol. viii., p. 65.).--The Scotch, and English, _clunk_ must have
+different meanings: for Jamieson defines the verb _to clunk_ "to emit a
+hollow and interrupted sound, as that proceeding from any liquid confined
+in a cask, when shaken, if the cask be not full;" and _to guggle_, as a
+"straight-necked bottle, when it is emptying;" and yet I am inclined to
+believe that the word also signifies _to swallow_, as in England. In the
+humorous ballad of "Rise up and bar the door," _clunk_ seems to be used in
+the sense of to swallow:
+
+  "And first they eat the while puddins, and then they eat the black;
+  The gudeman said within himsel, the Deil _clunk_ ower ai that."
+
+That is, may you swallow the devil with the black puddings, they perhaps
+being the best to the good man's taste. True, I have seen the word printed
+"clink," instead of _clunk_ in this song; but erroneously I think, as there
+is no signification of _clink_ in Jamieson that could be appropriately used
+by the man who saw his favourite puddings devoured before his face. To
+_clink_, means to "beat smartly", to "rivet the point of a nail," to
+"propagate scandal, or any rumour quickly;" none of which significations
+could be substituted for _clunk_ in the ballad.

+
+_Picts' Houses_ (Vol. viii., p. 392.).--Such buildings underground as those
+described as Picts' {209} houses, were not uncommon on the borders of the
+Tweed. A number of them, apparently constructed as described, were
+discovered in a field on the farm of Whitsome Hill, Berwickshire, about
+forty years ago. They were supposed to have been made for the detention of
+prisoners taken in the frays during the Border feuds: and afterwards they
+were employed to conceal spirits, smuggled either across the Border, or
+from abroad.
+
+HENRY STEPHENS.
+
+_Tailless Cats_ (Vol. ix., p. 10.).--The tailless cats are still procurable
+in the Isle of Man, though many an unfortunate pussey with the tail cut off
+is palmed off as genuine on the unwary. The real tailless breed are rather
+longer in the hind legs than the ordinary cat, and grow to a large size.
+
+P. P.
+
+Though not a Manx man by birth, I can assure your correspondent SHIRLEY
+HIBBERD, that there is not only a species of tailless cats in the Isle of
+Man, but also of tailless barn-door fowls. I believe the latter are also to
+be found in Malta.

+
+"_Cock-and-bull story_" (Vol. v., pp. 414. 447.).--DR. MAITLAND, in his
+somewhat sarcastic remarks respecting "cock-and-bull stories," extracted
+from Mr. Faber's work, has, no doubt, given a true account of the "cock on
+the church steeple, as being symbolical of a doctor or teacher." Still I
+cannot see that this at all explains the expression of a "cock-and-bull
+story." Will DR. MAITLAND be so good as to enlighten me on this point?
+
+I. R. R.
+
+_Market Crosses_ (Vol. v., p. 511.).--Does not the marriage at the market
+cross allude simply to the civil marriages in the time of the Commonwealth,
+not alluding to any religious edifice at all? An inspection of many parish
+registers of that period will, I think, prove this.
+
+I. R. R.
+
+"_Largesse_" (Vol. v., p. 557.).--The word _largesse_ is not peculiar to
+Northamptonshire: I well remember it used in Essex at harvest-time, being
+shouted out at such time through the village to ask for a gift, as I always
+understood. A. B. may be referred to _Marmion_, Canto I. note 10.
+
+I. R. R.
+
+_Awkward, Awart, Awalt_ (Vol. viii., p. 310.).--When fat sheep roll over
+upon their backs, and cannot get up of themselves, they are said to be
+lying _awkward_, in some places _awalt_, and in others _awart_. Is
+_awkward_, in this sense, the same word that treated by H. C. K.?
+
+S.
+
+_Morgan Odoherty_ (Vol. viii., p. 11.).--In reference to the remarks of MR.
+J. S. WARDEN on the Morgan Odoherty of Blackwood's _Magazine_, I had
+imagined it was very generally known by literary men that that _nom de
+guerre_ was assumed by the late Captain Hamilton, author of the _Annals of
+the Peninsular Campaigns_, and other works; and brother of Sir William
+Hamilton, Professor of Logic in the University of Edinburgh. I had never
+heard, until mentioned by MR. WARDEN, that Dr. Maginn was ever identified
+with that name.
+
+S.
+
+_Black Rat_ (Vol. vii., p. 206.).--In reply to the question of MR. SHIRLEY
+HIBBERD, whether the original rat of this country is still in existence, I
+may mention, that in the agricultural districts of Forfarshire, the Black
+Rat (_Mus rattus_) was in existence a few years ago. On pulling down the
+remains of an old farm-steading in 1823, after the building of a new one,
+they were there so numerous, that a greyhound I had destroyed no fewer than
+seventy-seven of them in the course of a couple of hours. Having used
+precautions against their lodgment in the new steading, under the floors,
+and on the tops of the party walls, they were effectually banished from the
+farm.
+
+HENRY STEPHENS.
+
+_Blue Bells of Scotland_ (Vol. viii., p. 388.).--Your correspondent [Old
+English W]. of Philadelphia is in error in supposing that the beautiful
+song, "Blue Bells of Scotland," was any reference to bells painted blue.
+That charming melody refers to a very common pretty flower in Scotland, the
+_Campanula latifolia_ of Linnaeus, the flowers of which are drooping and
+bell-shaped, and of a blue colour.
+
+HENRY STEPHENS.
+
+_Grammars, &c. for Public Schools_ (Vol. ix., p. 8., &c.).--Pray add to the
+list a Latin grammar, under the title of _The Common Accidence Improved_,
+by the Rev. Edward Owen, Rector of Warrington, and for fifty years Master
+of the Grammar School founded in that town, under the will of Sir Thomas
+Boteler, on April 27, 1526. I believe it was first published in 1770, but
+the copy now before me is of an edition printed in 1800; and the Preface
+contains a promise (I know not whether afterwards fulfilled) of the early
+publication of the rules, versified on the plan of Busbey and Ruddiman,
+under the title of _Elementa Latina Metrica_.
+
+J. F. M.
+
+_Warville_ (Vol. viii., p. 516.).--As regards the letter _W_, there is a
+distinction to be made between proper names and other words in the French
+language. The exclusion of that letter from the alphabet is sufficient
+proof that there are no words of French origin that begin with it; but the
+proper names in which it figures are common enough in recent times. Of
+these, the greater number have been imported from the neighbouring
+countries of Germany, Switzerland, and {210} Belgium: and some too are of
+local origin or formation.
+
+In the latter category is the name of _Warville_, which is derived from
+Ouarville, near Chartres, where Brissot was born in 1754. Between the
+French _ouar_ and our "war," there is a close similarity of sound; and in
+the spirit of innovation, which characterised the age of Brissot, the
+transition was a matter of easy accomplishment. Hence the _nom de guerre_
+of Warville, by which he was known to his cotemporaries.

+
+_The Camden Society_ has just issued a volume of domestic letters, which
+contain much curious illustration of the stirring times to which they
+refer. The volume is entitled _Letters of the Lady Brilliana Harley, wife
+of Sir Robert Harley, of Brampton Bryan, Knight of the Bath, with
+Introduction and Notes_, by the Rev. T. T. Lewis. The writer, Lady
+Brilliana, was a daughter of Sir Edward Conway, afterwards Baron Conway,
+and is supposed to have been born whilst her father was Lieut.-Governor of
+the "Brill." The earlier letters (1625-1633) are addressed to her husband,
+the remainder (1638-1643) to her son Edward, during his residence at
+Oxford. The appendix contains several documents of considerable historical
+interest.
+
+_Elements of Jurisprudence_, by C. J. Foster, M.A., Professor of
+Jurisprudence at University College, London, is an able and well-written
+endeavour to settle the principles upon which law is to be founded.
+Believing that law is capable of scientific reduction, Professor Foster has
+in this little work attempted, and with great ability, to show the
+principles upon which he thinks it must be so reduced.
+
+Mr. Croker has reprinted from _The Times_ his correspondence with Lord John
+Russell on some passages of Moore's _Diary_. In the postscript which he has
+added, explanatory of Mr. Moore's acquaintance and correspondence with him,
+Mr. Croker convicts Moore, by passages from his own letters, of writing
+very fulsomely _to_ Mr. Croker, at the same time that he was writing very
+sneeringly _of_ him.

+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+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.

+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 https://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 https://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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was 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:
+
+     https://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.
