+OUR NINTH VOLUME.
+
+The commencement of a New Year, and of our Ninth Volume, imposes upon Us
+the pleasant duty of wishing many happy returns of the season to all our
+Friends, Correspondents, and Readers.
+
+Those of the latter class, who have so earnestly impressed upon Us the
+propriety and advisableness of placing our Advertisements on the outside
+leaves of each Number, will see that their wishes have at length been
+complied with. We trust they will be pleased with this change, and receive
+it as a proof of our readiness to attend to every reasonable suggestion for
+the improve of "NOTES AND QUERIES." We can assure them that it is no less
+our desire to do so than our interest.

+Notes.
+
+A STRAWBERRY-HILL GEM.
+
+    "_Pour qui se donne la peine de chercher, il y a toujours quelque
+    trouvaille a faire, meme dans ce qui a ete le plus visite_.--Henry
+    PATIN.
+
+I take up a work of European celebrity, and reflect awhile on its
+bibliographic peculiarities--which may almost pass for romance.
+
+It is a _Scottish_ work with regard to the family connexion of its author:
+it is an _Irish_ work with regard to the place of his nativity. It is an
+_English_ work as to the scenes which it represents; a _French_ work as to
+the language in which it was written; a _Dutch_ work as to the country in
+which it came to light. It was formerly printed anonymously: it has since
+borne the name of its author. It was formerly printed for public sale: it
+has been twice printed for private circulation. It was formerly classed as
+fiction: it is now believed to be history.
+
+But we have too many enigmas in the annals of literature, and I must not
+add to the number. The work to which I allude is the _Memoires du comte de
+Grammont par le comte Antoine Hamilton_.
+
+The various indications of a projected re-impression of the work remind me
+of my _portefeuille Hamiltonien_, and impose on me the task of a partial
+transcription of its contents.
+
+Of the numerous editions of the _Memoires de Grammont_ as recorded by
+Brunet, Renouard, or Querard, or left unrecorded by those celebrated
+bibliographers, I shall describe only four; which I commend to the critical
+examination of future editors:
+
+    1. "_Memoires de la vie du comte de Grammont; contenant
+    particulierement l'histoire amoureuse de la cour d'Angleterre, sous le
+    regne de Charles II._ A Cologne, chez Pierre Marteau, 1713. 12^o, pp. 4
+    + 428.

+    "AVIS DU LIBRAIRE.--Il seroit inutile de recommander ici la lecture des
+    memoires qui composent ce volume: le titre seul de _Memoires du comte
+    de Grammont_ reveillera sans doute la curiosite du public pour un homme
+    qui lui est deja si connu d'ailleurs, tant par la reputation qu'il a
+    scu se faire, que par les differens portraits qu'en ont donnez Mrs. de
+    Bussi et de St. Evremont, dans leurs ouvrages; et l'on ne doute
+    nullement qu'il ne recoive, avec beaucoup de plaisir, un livre, dans
+    lequel on lui raconte ses avantures, sur ce qu'il en a bien voulu
+    raconter lui-meme a celui qui a pris la peine de dresser ces memoires.
+
+    "Outre les avantures du comte de Grammont, ils contiennent
+    particulie[re]ment l'histoire amoureuse de la cour d'Angleterre, sous
+    le regne de Charles II; et, comme on y decouvre quantite de choses, qui
+    ont ete tenues cachees jusqu'a present, et qui font voir jusqu'a quel
+    exces on a porte le dereglement dans cette cour, ce n'est pas le
+    morceau le moins interessant de ces memoires.
+
+    "On les donne ici sur une copie manuscrite, qu'on en a recue de Paris:
+    et on les a fait imprimer avec le plus d'exactitude qu'il a ete
+    possible."
+
+The above is the _first_ edition. The imprint is fictitious. It was much
+used by the Elzevirs, and by other Dutch printers. The second edition, with
+the same imprint, is dated in 1714 (Cat. de Guyon de Sardiere, No. 939.).
+The third edition was printed at Rotterdam in 1716. The _avis_ is omitted
+in that edition, and in all the later impressions which I have seen. Its
+importance as a history of the publication induces one to revive it. There
+is also an edition printed at Amsterdam in 1717 (Cat. de Lamy, No. 3918.);
+and another at La Haye in 1731 (Cat. de Rothelin, No. 2534*). Brunet omits
+the edition of 1713. Renouard and Querard notice it too briefly.

+    "AVERTISSEMENT. Le public a fait un accueil si favorable a ces
+    _Memoires_, que nous avons cru devoir en procurer une nouvelle edition.
+    Outre les avantures du comte de Grammont, tres-piquantes par
+    elles-memes, ils contiennent l'histoire amoureuse d'Angleterre sous le
+    regne de Charles II. Ils sont d'ailleurs ecrits d'une maniere si vive
+    et si ingenieuse, qu'ils ne laisseroient pas de plaire infiniment,
+    quand la matiere en seroit moins interessante.
+
+    "Le heros de ces _Memoires_ a trouve dans le comte Hamilton un
+    historien digne de lui. Car on n'ignore plus qu'ils sont partis de la
+    meme main a qui l'on doit encore d'autres ouvrages frappes au meme
+    coin.
+
+    "Nous avons enrichi cette edition d'un discours mele de prose et de
+    vers, ou l'on exagere la difficulte qu'il y a de bien representer le
+    comte de Grammont. On reconnoitra facilement que ce discours est du
+    meme auteur que les _Memoires_, et qu'il devoit naturellement en {4}
+    orner le frontispice. Au reste il ne nous appartient point d'en
+    apprecier le merite. Nous dirons seulement que des personnes d'un gout
+    sur et delicat le comparent au _Voyage de Chapelle_, et qu'ils y
+    trouvent les memes graces, le meme naturel et la meme legerete.
+
+    "Il ne nous reste plus qu'a dire un mot de M. Hamilton lui-meme, auteur
+    de ces memoires, et du discours qui les precede.
+
+    "Antoine Hamilton dont nous parlons, etoit de l'ancienne et illustre
+    maison de ce nom en Ecosse. Il naquit en Irlande. Il eut pour pere le
+    chevalier Georges Hamilton, petit-fils du duc d'Hamilton, qui fut aussi
+    duc de Chatelleraud en France.
+
+    "Sa mere etoit madame Marie Butler, soeur du duc d'Ormond, viceroi
+    d'Irlande, et grand maitre de la maison du roi Charles.
+
+    "Dans les revolutions qui arriverent du tems de Cromwel, ils suivirent
+    le roi et le duc d'Yorck son frere qui passerent en France. Ils y
+    amenerent leur famille. Antoine ne faisoit a peine que de naitre.
+
+    "Lorsque le roi fut retabli sur son trone, il ramena en Angleterre les
+    jeux et la magnificence. On voit dans les memoires de Grammont combien
+    cette cour etoit brillante; la curiosite y attira le comte de Grammont.
+    Il y vit mademoiselle d'Hamilton, il ne tarda pas a sentir le pouvoir
+    de ses charmes, il l'epousa enfin; et c'est la tendresse qu'_Antoine_
+    avoit pour sa soeur, qui l'engagea a faire plusieurs voyages en France,
+    ou il etoit eleve, et ou il a passe une partie de sa vie.
+
+    "M. Antoine Hamilton etant catholique, il ne put obtenir d'emploi en
+    Angleterre; et rien ne fut capable d'ebranler ni sa religion, ni la
+    fidelite qu'il devoit a son roi.
+
+    "Le roi Jaques etant monte sur le trone, il lui donna un regiment
+    d'infanterie en Irlande et le gouvernement de Limeric. Mais ce prince,
+    ayant ete oblige de quitter ses etats le comte Hamilton repassa avec la
+    famille royale en France. C'est-la et pendant le long sejour qu'il y a
+    fait, qu'il a compose les divers ouvrages qui lui ont acquis tant de
+    reputation. Il mourut a S. Germain le 21 Avril 1720. dans de grands
+    sentimens de piete, et apres avoir recu les derniers sacremens. Il
+    etoit age alors d'environ 74 ans. Il a merite les regrets de tous ceux
+    qui avoient le bonheur de le connoitre. Ne serieux, il avoit dans
+    l'esprit tous les agremens imaginables; mais ce qui est plus digne de
+    louanges, a ces agremens, qui vent frivoles sans la vertu, il joignoit
+    toutes les qualitez du coeur."
+
+If the above _avertissement_ first appeared in 1746, which I have much
+reason to conclude, this is certainly a very important edition. The
+biographical portion of the advertisement is the foundation of the later
+memoirs of Hamilton. In the Moreri of 1759, we have it almost _verbatim_,
+but taken from the _Oeuvres du comte Antoine Hamilton_, 1749. Neither
+Brunet, nor Renouard, nor Querard notice the edition of 1746. The copy
+which I have examined has the book-plate G. III. R.
+
+    3. "_Memoires du comte de Grammont, par le C. Antoine Hamilton_. 1760."
+    [De l'imprimerie de Didot, rue Pavee, 1760.] 12^o. I. partie, pp. 36 +
+    316. II. partie, pp. 4 + 340.
+
+This edition has the same _avertissement_ as that of 1746. The imprint is
+M.DCC.LX. The type resembles our small pica, and the paper has the
+water-mark _Auvergne_ 1749. At the end of the second part appears, _De
+l'imprimerie de Didot, rue Pavee_, 1760. This must be M. Francois Didot of
+Paris. I find the same colophon in the _Bibliographie instructive_, 1763-8.
+v. 631. This very neat edition has also escaped the aforesaid bibliographic
+trio!
+
+    4. "_Memoires du comte de Grammont, par monsieur le comte Antoine
+    Hamilton_. _Nouvelle edition_, _augmentee de notes et d'eclaircissemens
+    necessaires, par M. Horace Walpole_. Imprimee a Strawberry-Hill. 1772."
+    4^o, pp. 24 + 294. 3 portraits.
+
+    [Dedication.] "A madame....
+
+    "L'editeur vous consacre cette edition, comme un monument de son
+    amitie, de son admiration, et de son respect; a vous, dont les graces,
+    l'esprit, et le gout retracent au siecle present le siecle de Louis
+    quatorze et les agremens de l'auteur de ces memoires."
+
+Such are the inscriptions on the _Strawberry-Hill gem_. Much has been said
+of its brilliancy--and so, for the sake of novelty, I shall rather dwell on
+its flaws.
+
+The volume was printed at the private press of M. Horace Walpole at
+Strawberry-Hill, and the impression was limited to one hundred copies, of
+which thirty were sent to Paris. So much for its attractions--now for its
+flaws. In reprinting the dedication to madame du Deffand, I had to insert
+_eight_ accents to make decent French of it! The _avis_ is a mere medley of
+fragments: I could not ask a compositor to set it up! The _avertissement_
+is copied, without a word of intimation to that effect, from the edition of
+1746. The notes to the _epitre_ are also copied from that edition, except
+_L'abbe de Chaulieu_; and two of the notes to the memoirs are from the same
+source. The other notes, in the opinion of sir William Musgrave, are in
+part taken from an erroneous printed _Key_. Where are the
+_eclaircissements_? I find none except a list of proper names--of which
+about one-third part is omitted!
+
+In quoting Brunet, I have used the fourth edition of the _Manuel du
+libraire_, 1842-4; in quoting Renouard, I refer to the _avis_ prefixed to
+the _Oeuvres du comte Antoine Hamilton_, 1812; in quoting Querard, to _La
+France litteraire_, 1827-39. The other references are to sale catalogues.
+The titles of the books described, and the extracts, are given _literatim_,
+and, except as above noted, with the same accentuation and punctuation.
+
+To revert to the question of a new edition: I should prefer the French
+text, for various reasons, to any English translation that could be made.
+That of Abel Boyer is wretched burlesque!
+
+The chief requirements of a French edition would be, a collation of the
+editions of 1713 and 1746--the rectification of the names of persons {5}
+and places--a revision of the punctuation--and a strict conformity, as to
+general orthography and accentuation, with the _Dictionnaire de l'Academie
+francaise_, as edited in 1835. The substance of the _avis_ of 1713 might be
+stated in a preface; and the _avertissement_ of 1746, a clever composition,
+would serve as an introduction and memoir of the author. Those who doubt
+its value may consult the _Grand dictionnaire historique_, and the
+_Biographie universelle_. As one hundred and sixty persons are noticed in
+the work, brevity of annotation is very desirable. It would require much
+research. The manuscript notes of sir William Musgrave would, however, be
+very serviceable--more so, I conceive, than the printed notes of M. Horace
+Walpole.
+
+As the indications of a projected re-impression may be fallacious, I shall
+conclude with a word of advice to inexperienced collectors. Avoid the
+_jolie edition_ printed at Paris by F. A. Didot, _par ordre de monseigneur
+le comte d'Artois_, in 1781. It is the very worst specimen of editorship.
+Avoid also the London edition of 1792. The preface is a piratical
+pasticcio; the verbose notes are from the most accessible books; the
+portraits, very unequal in point of execution, I believe to be chiefly
+copies of prints--not _d'apres des tableaux originaux_. The most desirable
+editions are, 1. The edition of 1760; 2. That of 1772, as a _curiosity_; 3.
+That edited by M. Renouard, Paris, 1812, 18^o. 2 vols.; 4. That edited by
+M. Renouard in 1812, 8^o. with eight portraits. The latter edition forms
+part of the _Oeuvres du comte Antoine Hamilton_ in 3 vols. It seldom occurs
+for sale.

+
+THE "ANCREN RIWLE."
+
+The publication of this valuable semi-Saxon or Early English treatise on
+the duties of monastic life, recently put forth by the Camden Society,
+under the editorship of the Rev. James Morton, is extremely acceptable, and
+both the Society and the editor deserve the cordial thanks of all who are
+interested in the history of our language. As one much interested in the
+subject, and who many years since entertained the design now so ably
+executed by Mr. Morton, I may perhaps be allowed to offer a few remarks on
+the work itself, and on the manuscripts which contain it. Mr. Morton is
+unquestionably right in his statement that the Latin MS. in Magdalen
+College, Oxford, No. 67., is only an abridged translation of the original
+vernacular text. Twenty-three years ago I had access to the same MS. by
+permission of the Rev. Dr. Routh, the President of Magdalen College, and
+after reading and making extracts from it[1], I came to the same conclusion
+as Mr. Morton. It hardly admits, I think, of a doubt; for even without the
+internal evidence furnished by the Latin copy, the age of the manuscripts
+containing the Early English text at once set aside the supposition that
+Simon of Ghent (Bishop of Salisbury from 1297 to 1315) was the original
+author of the work. The copy in Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, I have
+not seen, but of the three copies in the British Museum I feel confident
+that the one marked Cleopatra C. vi. was actually written before Bishop
+Simon of Ghent had emerged from the nursery. This copy is not only the
+oldest, but the most curious, from the corrections and alterations made in
+it by a somewhat later hand, the chief of which are noticed in the printed
+edition. The collation, however, of this MS. might have been, with
+advantage, made more minutely, for at present many readings are passed
+over. Thus, at p. 8., for _unweote_ the second hand has _congoun_; at p.
+62., for _herigen_ it has _preisen_; at p. 90., for _on cheafle_, it reads
+_o muthe_, &c. The original hand has also some remarkable variations, which
+would cause a suspicion that this was the first draft of the author's work.
+Thus, at p. 12., for _scandle_, the first hand has _schonde_; at p. 62.,
+for _baldeliche_ it reads _bradliche_; at p. 88., for _nout for_, it has
+_anonden_, and the second hand _aneust_; at p. 90., for _sunderliche_ it
+reads _sunderlepes_, &c. All these, and many other curious variations, are
+not noticed in the printed edition. On the fly-leaf of this MS. is written,
+in a hand of the time of Edward I., as follows: "_Datum abbatie et
+conventui de Leghe per Dame M. de Clare._" The lady here referred to was
+doubtless Maud de Clare, second wife of Richard de Clare, Earl of Hereford
+and Gloucester, who, at the beginning of the reign of Edward I., is known
+to have changed the Augustinian Canons of Leghe, in Devonshire, into an
+abbess and nuns of the same order; and it was probably at the same period
+she bestowed this volume on them. The conjecture of Mr. Morton, that Bishop
+Poore, who died in 1237, might have been the original author of the _Ancren
+Riwle_, is by no means improbable, and deserves farther inquiry. The error
+as to Simon of Ghent is due, in the first place, not to Dr. Smith, but to
+Richard James (Sir Robert Cotton's librarian), who wrote on the fly-leaves
+of all the MSS. in the Cottonian Library a note of their respective
+contents, and who is implicitly followed by Smith. Wanley is more blamable,
+and does not here evince his usual critical accuracy, but (as remarked by
+Mr. Morton) he could only have looked at a few pages of the work. The real
+fact seems to be that Simon of Ghent made the abridged Latin version of the
+seven books of the _Riwle_ now preserved in Magdalen College, and this
+supposition may well enough be reconciled with the words of Leland, who
+says of him,--
+
+    "Edidit inter caetera, libros _septem_ de Vita Solitaria, {6} ad
+    Virgines Tarentinas, Duriae cultrices."--_Comment_., p. 316.
+
+A second copy of the Latin version was formerly in the Cottonian collection
+(Vitellius E. vii.), but no fragment of it has hitherto been recovered from
+the mass of burnt crusts and leaves left after the fire of 1731. I am
+happy, however, to add, that within the last few months, the manuscript
+marked Vitellius F. vii., containing a French translation of the _Riwle_,
+made in the fourteenth century (very closely agreeing with the vernacular
+text), has been entirely restored, except that the top margins of the
+leaves have been burnt at each end of the volume. This damage has,
+unfortunately, carried away the original heading of the treatise, and the
+title given us by Smith is copied partly from James's note. This copy of
+the French version appears to be unique, and is the more interesting from
+its having a note at the end (now half obliterated by the fire), stating
+that it belonged to Eleanor de Bohun, Duchess of Gloucester, whose motto is
+also added, "_Plesance. M [mil]. en vn_." The personage in question was
+Eleanor, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, and wife of
+Thomas of Woodstock, who ended her days as a nun in the convent at Barking
+in 1399. Is any other instance known of the use of this motto? Before I
+conclude these brief remarks, I may mention a _fifth_ copy of the _Ancren
+Riwle_, which has escaped the notice of Mr. Morton. It is buried in the
+enormous folio manuscript of old English poetry and prose called the Vernon
+MS., in the Bodleian Library, written in the reign of Richard II., and
+occurs at pp. 371^b.--392. In the table of contents prefixed to this volume
+it is entitled "The Roule of Reclous;" and although the phraseology is
+somewhat modernised, it agrees better with the MS. Cleopatra C. vi, than
+with Nero A. xiv., from which Mr. Morton's edition is printed. This copy is
+not complete, some leaves having been cut out in the sixth book, and the
+scribe leaves off at p. 420. of the printed edition.
+
+It is very much to be wished that Mr. Morton would undertake the task of
+editing another volume of legends, homilies, and poems, of the same age as
+the _Ancren Riwle_, still existing in various manuscripts. One of the
+homilies, entitled "Sawles Warde," in the Bodley MS. 34., Cott. MS. Titus
+D. xviii., and Old Royal MS. 17A. xxvii., is very curious, and well
+deserves to be printed.

+ORDER FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF VAGRANCY, A.D. 1650-51.
+
+At a time when the question of "What is to be done with our vagrant
+children?" is occupying the attention of all men of philanthropic minds, it
+may be worth while to give place in your pages to the following order
+addressed by the Lord Mayor of London to his aldermen in 1650-51, which
+applies, amongst other things, to that very subject. It will be seen that
+some of the artifices of beggary in that day were very similar to those
+with which we are now but too familiar. The difference of treatment between
+vagrant children over and under nine years of age, is worthy of
+observation.
+
+    "BY THE MAYOR.
+
+    "Forasmuch as of late the constables of this city have neglected to put
+    in execution the severall wholsome laws for punishing of vagrants, and
+    passing them to the places of their last abode, whereby great scandall
+    and dishonour is brought upon the government of this city; These are
+    therefore to will and require you, or your deputy, forthwith to call
+    before you the several constables within your ward, and strictly to
+    charge them to put in execution the said laws, or to expect the penalty
+    of forty shillings to be levyed upon their estates, for every vagrant
+    that shal be found begging in their several precincts. And to the end
+    the said constables may not pretend ignorance, what to do with the
+    several persons which they shal find offending the said laws, these are
+    further to require them, that al aged or impotent persons who are not
+    fit to work, be passed from constable to constable to the parish where
+    they dwel; and that the constable in whose ward they are found begging,
+    shal give a passe under his hand, expressing the place where he or she
+    were taken, and the place whither they are to be passed. _And for
+    children under five years of age, who have no dwelling, or cannot give
+    an account of their parents, the parish where they are found are to
+    provide for them; and for those which shall bee found lying under
+    stalls, having no habitation or parents (from five to nine years old),
+    are to be sent to the Wardrobe House_[2], _to be provided for by the
+    corporation for the poore; and all above nine years of age are to be
+    sent to Bridewel._ And for men or women who are able to work and goe
+    begging with young children, such persons for the first time to be
+    passed to the place of their abode as aforesaid; and being taken
+    againe, they are to be carryed to Bridewel, to be corrected according
+    to the discretion of the governours. _And for those persons that shal
+    be found to hire children, or go begging with children not sucking,
+    those children are to be sent to the several parishes wher they dwel,
+    and the persons so hiring them to Bridewel, to be corrected and passed
+    away, or kept at work there, according to the governour's discretion._
+    And for al other vagrants and beggars under any pretence whatsoever, to
+    be forthwith sent down to Bridewel to be imployed and corrected,
+    according to the statute laws of this commonwealth, except before
+    excepted; and the president and governours of Bridewel are hereby
+    desired to meet twice every week to see to the execution of this
+    Precept. _And the steward of the workehouse called the Wardrobe, is {7}
+    authorised to receive into that house such children as are of the age
+    between five and nine, as is before specified and limited_; and the
+    said steward is from time to time to acquaint the corporation for the
+    poor, what persons are brought in, to the end they may bee provided
+    for. Dated this four and twentyeth day of January, 1650.

+
+    Sir,
+
+    Riding out this morning to dine here with Mr. Grattan, I saw at his
+    house the poor lame boy that gives you this: he was a servant to a
+    plow-man near Lusk, and while he was following the plow, a dog bit him
+    in the leg, about eleven weeks ago. One Mrs. Price endeavored six weeks
+    to cure him, but could not, and his Master would maintain him no
+    longer. Mr. Grattan and I are of opinion that he may be a proper object
+    to be received into Dr. Stephen's Hospital. The boy tells his story
+    naturally, and Mr. Grattan and I took pity of him. If you find him
+    curable, and it be not against the rules of the Hospitall, I hope you
+    will receive him.
+
+  I am, Sir,
+    Your most humble Servt.

+
+[Harl. MS. 3778, Art. 43. _Orig_.]
+
+    Cambridge, Oct. 16th [1718].
+
+    Worthy Sir
+
+    I am glad to hear Mrs. Elstob is in a condition to pay her debts, for
+    me she may be very easy: tho' I could wish for the sake of the
+    University (tho' I am no way engaged, having taken up my obligation)
+    that you could recover the Book, or at least could find where it is
+    lodged, that Mr. Brook may know where to demand it. This, I presume,
+    may be done.
+
+    If you have met with Books printed by Guttenberg, you have made a great
+    discovery. I thought there had been none such in the world, and began
+    to look upon Fust as the first Printer. I have seen the Bishop of Ely's
+    Catholicon (now with us), which, for aught I know, may have been
+    printed by Guttenberg; for tho' it be printed at Ments, yet there is no
+    name of the Printer, and the character is more rude than Fust's
+    Tullie's Offices, whereof there are two Copies in 1465 and 1466, the
+    first on vellum, the other on paper.
+
+    May I make a small enquiry, after the mention of so great a name as
+    Guttenberg? I remember, you told me, my Lord Harley had two Copies of
+    Edw. the Sixth's first Common Prayer Book. Do you remember whether
+    either of them be printed by Grafton, the King's Printer? I have seen
+    four or five Editions by Whitchurch, but never could meet with any by
+    Grafton, except one in my custody, which I shall look upon to be a
+    great Rarity, if it be likewise wanting to my Lord's Collection. It
+    varies from all the other Copies, and is printed in 1548. All the rest,
+    I think, in 1549. One reason of my enquiry is, because I want the
+    Title, for the date is at the end of the Book, and indeed twice; both
+    on the end of the Communion Office, and of the Litany. But I beg your
+    pardon for so small an enquiry, whilst you are in quest of Guttenberg
+    and Nic. Jenson. My business consists much in trifles.
+
+  I am, Sir,
+    Your most ob. humble
+      Servant,
+          THO. BAKER.

+
+[MS. Addit., Brit. Mus., 4309, fol. 358.]
+
+    I cannot forbear acquainting you of a very curious passage in relation
+    to Charles the Second's Restoration. Sir Wm. Morrice, who was one of
+    the Secretaries of State soon after, was the person who chiefly
+    transacted that affair with Monk, so that all the papers in order to it
+    were sent him, both from King Charles and Lord Clarendon. Just after
+    the thing was finished, Lord Clarendon got more than 200 of these
+    Letters and other papers from Morrice under pretence of finishing his
+    History, and which were never returned. Lord Somers, when he was
+    chancellor, told Morrice's Grandson that if he would file a Bill in
+    Chancery, he would endeavour to get them; but young Morrice having
+    deserted the Whig Interest, was {8} prevailed upon to let it drop. This
+    I know to be fact, for I had it not only from the last-mentioned
+    Gentleman, but others of that family, especially a son of the
+    Secretaries. As soon as I knew this, I took the first opportunity of
+    searching the study, and found some very curious Letters, which one
+    time or other I design to publish together with the account of that
+    affair. My mother being Niece to the Secretary, hath often heard him
+    say that Charles the Second was not only very base in not keeping the
+    least of the many things that he had promised; but by debauching the
+    Nation, had rendered it fitt for that terrible fellow (meaning the Duke
+    of York) to ruin us all, and then Monk and him would be remembred to
+    their Infamy.

+BURIAL-PLACE OF ARCHBISHOP LEIGHTON.
+
+On a visit this autumn with some friends to the picturesque village and
+church of Horsted-Keynes, Sussex, our attention was forcibly arrested by
+the appearance of two large pavement slabs, inserted in an erect position
+on the external face of the south wall of the chancel. They proved to be
+those which once had covered and protected the grave of the good Archbishop
+Leighton, who passed the latter years of his life in that parish, and that
+of Sir Ellis Leighton, his brother. On inquiry, it appeared that their
+remains had been deposited within a small chapel on the south side of the
+chancel, the burial-place of the Lightmaker family, of Broadhurst, in the
+parish of Horsted. The archbishop retired thither in 1674, and resided with
+his only sister, Saphira, widow of Mr. Edward Lightmaker. Broadhurst, it
+may be observed, is sometimes incorrectly mentioned by the biographers of
+Archbishop Leighton as a parish; it is an ancient mansion, the residence
+formerly of the Lightmakers, and situated about a mile north of the village
+of Horsted. There it was that Leighton made his will, in February, 1683;
+but his death occurred, it will be remembered, in singular accordance with
+his desire often expressed, at an inn, the Bell, in Warwick Lane, London.
+
+The small chapel adjacent to the chancel, and opening into it by an arch
+now walled up, had for some time, as I believe, been used as a school-room;
+more recently, however, either through its becoming out of repair, or from
+some other cause, the little structure was demolished. The large slabs
+which covered the tombs of the good prelate and his brother were taken up
+and fixed against the adjoining wall. The turf now covers the space thus
+thrown into the open churchyard; nothing remains to mark the position of
+the graves, which in all probability, ere many years elapse, will be
+disturbed through ignorance or heedlessness, and the ashes of Leighton
+scattered to the winds.
+
+In times when special respect has been shown to the tombs of worthies of
+bygone times, with the recent recollection also of what has been so well
+carried out by MR. MARKLAND in regard to the grave of Bishop Ken, shall we
+not make an effort to preserve from desecration and oblivion the
+resting-place of one so eminent as Leighton for his learning and piety, so
+worthy to be held in honoured remembrance for his high principles and his
+consistent conduct in an evil age?

+_Grammars, &c. for Public Schools._--Would it not be desirable for some
+correspondents of "N. & Q." to furnish information respecting grammars,
+classics, and other works which have been written for the various public
+schools? Such information might be useful to book collectors; and would
+also serve to reflect credit on the schools whose learned masters have
+prepared such books. My contribution to the list is small: but I remember a
+valuable Greek grammar prepared by the Rev. ---- Hook, formerly head master
+of the College School at Gloucester, for the use of that establishment; as
+also a peculiar English grammar prepared by the Rev. R. S. Skillern, master
+of St. Mary de Crypt School, in the same place, for the use of that school.
+I also possess a copy (1640) of the _Romanae Historiae Anthologia_, for the
+use of Abingdon School, and _Moses and Aaron, or the Rites and Customs of
+the Hebrews_ (1641), both by Thos. Godwin, though the latter was written
+after he ceased to be master of the schools.

+"_To captivate._"--Moore, in his Journal, speaking of the Americans
+(January 9th, 1819), says:
+
+    "They sometimes, I see, use the word _captivate_ thus: 'Five or six
+    ships captivated,' 'Five or six ships captivated.'"
+
+Originally, the words _to captivate_ were synonymous with _to capture_, and
+the expression was used with reference to warlike operations. To captivate
+the affections was a secondary use of the phrase. The word is used in the
+original sense in many old English books. It is not used so now in the

+Constantinople. If Mr. Yonge, who shows elsewhere that he has read Gibbon,
+had referred to him on this occasion, he would probably have found that the
+Empress Irene, a name dear to the reverencers of images, was the person
+meant. The original Latin probably gives no clue to the sex; but still this
+empress, who is considered as a saint by her church, notwithstanding the
+deposition and blinding of her own son, was not a personage to be so easily

+
+DOMESTIC LETTERS OF EDMUND BURKE.
+
+In the curious and able article entitled "The Domestic Life of Edmund
+Burke," which appeared in the _Athenaeum_ of Dec. 10th and Dec. 17th (and
+to which I would direct the attention of such readers of "N. & Q." as have
+not yet seen it), the writer observes:
+
+    "There is not in existence, as far as we know, or have a right to infer
+    from the silence of the biographers, one single letter, paper, or
+    document of any kind--except a mysterious fragment of one
+    letter--relating to the domestic life of the Burkes, until long after
+    Edmund Burke became an illustrious and public man; no letters from
+    parents to children, from children to parents, from brother to brother,
+    or brother to sister."
+
+And as Edmund Burke was the last survivor of the family, the inference
+drawn by the writer, that they were destroyed by him, seems, on the grounds
+which he advances, a most reasonable one. But my object in writings is to
+call attention to a source from which, if any such letters exist, they may
+yet possibly be recovered; I mean the collections of professed collectors
+of autographs. On the one hand, it is scarcely to be conceived that the
+destroyer of these materials for the history of the Burkes, be he who he
+may, can have got _all_ the family correspondence into his possession. On
+the other, it is far from improbable that in some of the collections to
+which I have alluded, some letters, notes, or documents may exist,
+treasured by the possessors as mere autographs; but which might, if given
+to the world, serve to solve many of those mysteries which envelope the
+early history of Edmund Burke. The discovery of documents of such a
+character seems to be the special province of "N. & Q.," and I hope,
+therefore, although this letter has extended far beyond the limits I
+originally contemplated, you will insert it, and so permit me to put this
+Query to autograph collectors, "Have you any documents illustrative of the
+Burkes?" and to add as a Note, "If so, print them!"

+that "this is particularly necessary on board ship, where, as soon as any
+man is pronounced by the surgeon to be mortally wounded, he is forthwith,
+while still living and conscious, thrown overboard," or words to this
+effect, as I quote from memory. That such horrid barbarity was not
+practised in 1810, it is needless to say; and if it had been usual at any
+previous period, Smollett and other writers who have exposed with unsparing
+hand all the defects in the naval system of their day, would have scarcely
+left this unnoticed when they attack much slighter abuses. If such a thing

+
+_Lawless Court, Rochford, Essex._--A most extraordinary custom exists, in a
+manor at Rochford, in the tenants holding under what is called the "Lawless
+Court." This court is held at midnight, by torch-light, in the centre of a
+field, on the first Friday after the 29th Sept., and is presided over by
+the steward of the manor, who, however, appoints a deputy to fulfil this
+part of his duty. The tenants of the manor are obliged to attend to answer
+to their names, when called upon, under pain of a heavy fine, or at all
+events have some one there to respond for them. All the proceedings are
+carried on in a whisper, no one speaking above that tone of voice; and the
+informations as to deaths, names, &c. are entered in a book by the
+president with a piece of charcoal. I may add, the business is not
+commenced until a cock has crowed three times, and as it is sometimes a
+difficult matter to get Chanticleer to do his duty, a man is employed to
+crow, whose fee therefor is 5s.
+
+Now Morant, in his _History of Essex_, merely cursorily mentions this most
+singular custom, and has nothing as to its antiquity or origin; I should
+therefore feel much obliged for any information concerning it.
+

+
+    [The singular custom at Rochford is of uncertain origin: in old authors
+    it is spoken of as belonging to the manor of Rayleigh. The following
+    account of "The Lawless Court," at that place, is printed by Hearne
+    from the Dodsworth MSS. in the Bodleian, vol. cxxv.:--"The manor of
+    Raylie, in Essex, hath a custome court kept yearly, the Wednesday nexte
+    after Michael's day. The court is kept in the night, and without light,
+    but as the skye gives, att a little hill without the towne, called the
+    King's Hill, where the steward writes only with coals, and not with
+    inke. And many men and mannors of greate worth hold of the same, and do
+    suite unto this strange court, where the steward calls them with as low
+    a voice as possibly he may; giving no notice when he goes to the hill
+    to keepe the same court, and he that attends not is deepely amerced, if
+    the steward will. The title and entry of the same court is as
+    followeth, viz.:
+
+     'Curia de domino rege,

+_Motto on old Damask._--Can your correspondents furnish an explanation of

+were bought many years back at Brussels; not at a shop in the ordinary way,
+but privately, from the family to whom they belonged. I presume the larger
+characters, if put together, will indicate the date of the event, whatever
+that may be, which is referred to in the motto itself.
+
+The motto is woven in the pattern of the damask, and consists of the
+following words in uncials, the letters of unequal size, as subjoined:
+
+    "SIGNUM PACIS DATUR LORICAE."
+
+the larger letters being IUMCIDULIC. If the U's are taken as two V's, and

+
+    [The chronogram above, which means "The signal of peace is given to the
+    warrior," relates to the peace proclaimed between England and France in
+    the year 1763. This event is noticed in the _Annual Register_, and in
+    most of our popular histories. Keightley says, "The overtures of France
+    for peace were readily listened to; and both parties being in earnest,
+    the preliminaries were readily settled at Fontainebleau (Nov. 3rd). In
+    spite of the declamation of Mr. Pitt and his party, they were approved
+    of by large majorities in both Houses of Parliament, and a treaty was
+    finally signed in Paris, Feb. 18, 1763." The napkins were probably a
+    gift, on the occasion, to some public functionary. For the custom of

+
+_Explanation of the Word "Miser."_--Can any of your readers explain how and
+when _miser_ came to get the meaning of an avaricious hoarding man? In
+Spenser's _Faerie Queene_, II. l. 8., it is used in its nearly primary
+sense of "wretch:"
+
+ "Vouchsafe to stay your steed for humble _miser's_ sake."
+
+Again, _Faerie Queene_, II. 3. 8.:
+
+ "The _miser_ threw himself, as an offall,
+  Straight at his foot in base humility."
+
+In Milton's _Comus_, which was written about fifty years after the first
+three books of the _Faerie Queene,_ the present signification of the word
+is complete:
+
+ "You may as well spread out the unsunn'd heaps
+  Of _miser's_ treasure by an outlaw's den,
+  And tell me it is safe, as bid one hope
+  Danger will sink on opportunity," &c.
+

+
+Bottisham.
+
+    [The modern restricted use of the word _miser_ is subsequent to
+    Shakspeare's time for in Part I. _King Henry VI._, Act V. Sc. 4.,
+
+     "Decrepit _miser_! base ignoble wretch!"
+
+    Steevens says has no relation to avarice, but simply means a
+    _miserable_ creature. So in the interlude of _Jacob and Esau_, 1568:
+
+     "But as for these _misers_ within my father's tent."
+
+    Again, in Lord Stirling's tragedy of _Croesus_, 1604:
+
+     "Or think'st thou me of judgement too remiss,
+      A _miser_ that in miserie remains."
+
+    Otway, however, in his _Orphan_, published in 1680, uses it for a
+    covetous person:
+
+     "Though she be dearer to my soul than rest
+      To weary pilgrims, or to _misers_ gold,
+      Rather than wrong Castalio, I'd forget thee."
+
+    So also does Pope:
+
+     "No silver saints by dying _misers_ given,
+      Here brib'd the rage of ill-requited heaven."
+
+_"Acis and Galatea."_--Is there any good evidence in support of the

+were written by Gay? Hawkins merely states that they "are said to have been

+find the same statement repeated by various other musical historians,
+without, however, any authority being given for it. The words in question
+are not to be found among the _Poems on several Occasions_, by Mr. John
+Gay, published in 1767 by Tonson and others. Have they ever been included
+in any collective edition of his works?

+
+The story referred to is certainly a very curious one, and I should like to
+know whether it is exactly as it was told by Baxter, especially as there
+seems to be reason for believing that De Foe (whom on other grounds one
+would not trust in such a matter) did not take it from the work which he
+quotes. Perhaps if you can find room for the statement, some correspondent
+would be so good as to state whether it has the sanction of Baxter:
+
+    "Mr. Baxter, in his _Historical Discourse of Apparitions_, writes thus:
+    'There is now in London an understanding, sober, pious man, oft one of
+    my hearers, who has an elder brother, a gentleman of considerable rank,
+    who having formerly seemed pious, of late years does often fall into
+    the sin of drunkenness; he often lodges long together here in his
+    brother's house, and whensoever he is drunk and has slept himself
+    sober, something knocks at his bed's head, as if one knocked on a
+    wainscot. When they remove his bed it follows him. Besides other loud
+    noises on other parts where he is, that all the house hears, they have
+    often watched him, and kept his hands lest he should do it himself. His
+    brother has often told it me, and brought his wife, a discreet woman,
+    to attest it, who avers moreover, that as she watched him, she has seen
+    his shoes under the bed taken up, and nothing visible to touch them.
+    They brought the man himself to me, and when we asked {13} him how he
+    dare sin again after such a warning, he had no excuse. But being
+    persons of quality, for some special reason of worldly interest I must
+    not name him.'"--De Foe's _Life of Duncan Campbell_, 2nd ed. p. 107.
+
+After this story, De Foe says:
+
+    "Another relation of this kind was sent to Dr. Beaumont (whom I myself
+    personally knew, and which he has inserted in his account of genii, or
+    familiar spirits) in a letter by an ingenious and learned clergyman of
+    Wiltshire," &c.
+
+But he does not say that the story which he has already quoted as from
+Baxter stands just as he has given it, and with a reference to Baxter, in
+Beaumont's _Historical, Physiological, and Theological Treatise of
+Spirits_, p. 182. Of course one does not attach any weight to De Foe's
+saying that he knew Dr. Beaumont "personally," but does anybody know
+anything of him? Nearly four years ago you inserted somewhat similar
+inquiry about this Duncan Campbell, but I believe it has not yet been
+answered.

+
+CELTIC AND LATIN LANGUAGES.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 174.)
+
+There was a Query some time ago upon this subject, but though it is one
+full of interest to all scholars, I have not observed any Notes worth
+mentioning in reply. The connexion between these two languages has only of
+late occupied the attention of philologers; but the more closely they are
+compared together, the more important and the more striking do the
+resemblances appear; and the remark of Arnold with regard to Greek
+literature applies equally to Latin, "that we seem now to have reached that
+point in our knowledge of the language, at which other languages of the
+same family must be more largely studied, before we can make a fresh step
+in advance." But this study, as regards the comparison of Celtic and Latin,
+is, in England at least, in a very infant state. Professor Newman, in his
+_Regal Rome_, has attention to the subject; but his induction does not
+appear sufficiently extensive to warrant any decisive conclusion respecting
+the position the Celtic holds as an element of the Latin. Pritchard's work
+upon the subject is satisfactory as far as it goes, but both these authors
+have chiefly confined themselves to a tabular view of Celtic and Latin
+words; but it is not _merely_ this we want. What is required is a critical
+examination into the comparative structure and formal development of the
+two languages, and this is a work still to be accomplished. The later
+numbers of Bopp's _Comparative Grammar_ are, I believe, devoted to this
+subject, but as they have not been translated, they must be confined to a
+limited circle of English readers, and I have not yet seen any reproduction
+of the views therein contained in the philological literature of England.
+
+As the first step to considerations of this kind must be made from a large
+induction of words, I think, with your correspondent, that the pages of "N.
+& Q." might be made useful in supplying "links of connexion" to supply a
+groundwork for future comparison. I shall conclude by suggesting one or two
+"links" that I do not remember to have seen elsewhere.
+
+1. Is the root of _felix_ to be found in the Irish _fail_, _fate_; the
+contraction of the dipththong _ai_ or _e_ being analogous to that of
+_amaimus_ into _amemus_?
+
+2. Is it not probable that _Avernus_, if not corrupted from [Greek:
+aornos], is related to _iffrin_, the Irish _inferi_? This derivation is at
+any rate more probable than that of Grotefend, who connects the word with
+[Greek: Acheron].
+
+3. Were the _Galli_, priests of Cybele, so called as being connected with
+fire-worship? and is the name at all connected with the Celtic _gal_, a
+flame? The word _Gallus_, a Gaul, is of course the same as the Irish _gal_,
+a stranger.

+
+GEOMETRICAL CURIOSITY.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 468.)
+
+MR. INGLEBY'S question might easily be the foundation of a geometrical
+paper; but as this would not be a desirable contribution, I will endeavour
+to keep clear of technicalities, in pointing out how the process described
+may give something near to a circle, or may not.
+
+When a paper figure, bent over a straight line in it, has the two parts
+perfectly fitting on each other, the figure is _symmetrical_ about that
+straight line, which may be called an _axis of symmetry_. Thus every
+diameter of a circle is an axis of symmetry: every regular oval has two
+axes of symmetry at right angles to each other: every regular polygon of an
+_odd_ number of sides has an axis joining each corner to the middle of the
+opposite sides: every regular polygon of an _even_ number of sides has axes
+joining opposite corners, and axes joining the middles of opposite sides.
+
+When a piece of paper, of any form whatsoever, rectilinear or curvilinear,
+is doubled over any line in it, and when all the parts of either side which
+are not covered by the other are cut away, the unfolded figure will of
+course have the creased line for an axis of symmetry. If another line be
+now creased, and a fold made over it, and the process repeated, the second
+line becomes an axis of symmetry, and the first perhaps ceases to be one.
+If the process be then repeated on the first line, this last becomes an
+axis, and the other (probably) ceases to be an axis. If this process can be
+indefinitely continued, the cuttings must become smaller and smaller, for
+the following reason. Suppose, at the outset, the boundary point nearest to
+the intersection of the axes is distant from that intersection by, say four
+inches; it is clear that we cannot, after any number of cuttings, have a
+part of the boundary at less than four inches from the intersection. For
+there never is, after any cutting, any approach to the intersection except
+what there already was on the other side of the axis employed, before that
+cutting was made. If then the cuttings should go on for ever, or
+practically until the pieces to be cut off are too small, and _if this take
+place all round_, the figure last obtained will be a good representation of
+a circle of four inches radius. On the suppositions, we must be always
+cutting down, at all parts of the boundary; but it has been shown that we
+can never come nearer than by four inches to the intersection of the axes.
+
+But it does not follow that the process _will_ go on for ever. We may come
+at last to a state in which both the creases are axes of symmetry at once;
+and then the process stops. If the paper had at first a curvilinear
+boundary, properly chosen, and if the axes were placed at the proper angle,
+it would happen that we should arrive at a {15} _regular_ curved polygon,
+having the two axes for axes of symmetry. The process would then stop.
+
+I will, however, suppose that the original boundary is everywhere
+rectilinear. It is clear then that, after every cutting, the boundary is
+still rectilinear. If the creases be at right angles to one another, the
+ultimate figure may be an irregular polygon, having its four quarters
+alike, such as may be inscribed in an oval; or it may have its sides so
+many and so small, that the ultimate appearance shall be that of an oval.
+But if the creases be not at right angles, the ultimate figure is a
+perfectly regular polygon, such as can be inscribed in a circle; or its
+sides may be so many and so small that the ultimate appearance shall be
+that of a circle.
+
+Suppose, as in MR. INGLEBY'S question, that the creases are not at right
+angles to each other; supposing the eye and the scissors _perfect_, the
+results will be as follows:
+
+First, suppose the angle made by the creases to be what the mathematicians
+call _incommensurable_ with the whole revolution; that is, suppose that no
+repetition of the angle will produce an _exact_ number of revolutions. Then
+the cutting will go on for ever, and the result will perpetually approach a
+circle. It is easily shown that no figure whatsoever, except a circle, has
+two axes of symmetry which make an angle incommensurable with the whole
+revolution.
+
+Secondly, suppose the angle of the creases commensurable with the
+revolution. Find out the smallest number of times which the angle must be
+repeated to give an exact number of revolutions. If that number be even, it
+is the number of sides of the ultimate polygon: if that number be odd, it
+is the half of the number of sides of the ultimate polygon.
+
+Thus, the paper on which I write, the whole sheet being taken, and the
+creases made by joining opposite corners, happens to give the angle of the
+creases very close to three-fourteenths of a revolution; so that fourteen
+repetitions of the angle is the lowest number which give an exact number of
+revolutions; and a very few cuttings lead to a regular polygon of fourteen
+sides. But if four-seventeenths of a revolution had been taken for the
+angle of the creases, the ultimate polygon would have had thirty-four
+sides. In an angle taken at hazard the chances are that the number of
+ultimate sides will be large enough to present a circular appearance.
+
+Any reader who chooses may amuse himself by trying results from three or
+more axes, whether all passing through one point or not.

+THE BLACK-GUARD.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 414.)
+
+Some of your correspondents, SIR JAMES E. TENNENT especially, have been
+very learned on this subject, and all have thrown new light on what I
+consider a very curious inquiry. The following document I discovered some
+years ago in the Lord Steward's Offices. Your readers will see its value at
+once; but it may not be amiss to observe, that the name in its present
+application had its origin in the number of masterless boys hanging about
+the verge of the Court and other public places, palaces, coal-cellars, and
+palace stables; ready with links to light coaches and chairs, and conduct,
+and rob people on foot, through the dark streets of London; nay, to follow
+the Court in its progresses to Windsor and Newmarket. Pope's "link-boys
+vile" are the black-guard boys of the following Proclamation.
+
+PETER CUNNINGHAM.
+
+At the Board of Green Cloth,
+in Windsor Castle,
+this 7th day of May, 1683.
+
+Whereas of late a sort of vicious, idle, and masterless boyes and rogues,
+commonly called the Black-guard, with divers other lewd and loose fellowes,
+vagabonds, vagrants, and wandering men and women, do usually haunt and
+follow the Court, to the great dishonour of the same, and as Wee are
+informed have been the occasion of the late dismall fires that happened in
+the towns of Windsor and Newmarket, and have, and frequently do commit
+divers other misdemeanours and disorders in such places where they resort,
+to the prejudice of His Majesty's subjects, for the prevention of which
+evills and misdemeanours hereafter, Wee do hereby strictly charge and
+command all those so called the Black-guard as aforesaid, with all other
+loose, idle, masterless men, boyes, rogues, and wanderers, who have
+intruded themselves into His Majesty's Court or stables, that within the
+space of twenty-four houres next after the publishing of this order, they
+depart, upon pain of imprisonment, and such other punishments as by law are
+to be inflicted on them.

+THE CALVES' HEAD CLUB.
+
+(Vol. viii., pp. 315. 480.)
+
+The Calves' Head Club existed much earlier than the time when their doings
+were commemorated in the _Weekly Oracle_ (Vol. viii., p. 315.) of February
+1, 1735, or depicted in the print of 1734 (Vol. viii., p. 480.). There is a
+pamphlet, {16} the second edition of which was published in small 4to., in
+1703, entitled:
+
+    "The Secret History of the Calves' Head Club, or, the Republican
+    Unmasqu'd, wherein is fully shewn the Religion of the Calves-Head
+    Heroes in their Anniversary Thanksgiving Songs on the Thirtieth of
+    January, by their Anthems," &c. &c.
+
+We are told in the latter part of the long title-page that the work was
+published "to demonstrate the restless, inplacable spirit of a certain
+party still among us," and certainly the statements therein, and more than
+all the anthems at the end, do show the bitterest hatred--so bitter, so
+intense and malignant, that we feel on reading it that there must be some
+exaggeration.
+
+The author professes to have at first been of opinion "that the story was
+purely contrived on purpose to render the republicans more odious than they
+deserv'd." Whether he was convinced to the contrary by ocular demonstration
+he does not tell us, but gives us information he received from a
+gentleman--
+
+    "Who, about eight years ago, went out of meer curiosity to see their
+    Club, and has since furnish'd me with the following papers. I was
+    inform'd that it was kept in no fix'd house, but that they remov'd as
+    they saw convenient; that the place they met in when he was with 'em
+    was in a blind ally, about Morefields; that the company wholly
+    consisted of Independents and Anabaptists (I am glad for the honour of
+    the Presbyterians to set down this remark); that the famous Jerry
+    White, formerly Chaplain to Oliver Cromwell, who no doubt on't came to
+    sanctify with his pious exhortations the Ribbaldry of the Day, said
+    Grace; that after the table-cloth was removed, the anniversary anthem,
+    as they impiously called it, was sung, and a calve's skull fill'd with
+    wine, or other liquor, and then a brimmer went about to the pious
+    memory of those worthy patriots that kill'd the tyrant, and deliver'd
+    their country from arbitrary sway; and lastly, a collection made for
+    the mercenary scribler, to which every man contributed according to his
+    zeal for the cause, or the ability of his purse.
+
+    "I have taken care to set down what the gentleman told me as faithfully
+    as my memory wou'd give me leave; and I am persuaded that some persons
+    that frequent the Black Boy in Newgate Street, as they knew the author
+    of the following lines so they knew this account of the Calves' Head
+    Club to be true."
+
+The anthems for the years 1693, 1694, 1695, 1696, and 1697, are given; but
+they are too long and too stupidly blasphemous and indecent to quote here.
+They seem rather the satires of malignant cavaliers than the serious
+productions of any Puritan, however politically or theologically heretical.

+PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.
+
+_The Calotype Process._--I have made any first essay in the calotype
+process, following DR. DIAMOND'S directions given in "N. & Q.," and using
+Turner's paper, as recommended by him. My success has been quite as great
+as I could expect as a novice, and satisfies me that any defects are due to
+my own want of skill, and not to any fault in the directions given. I wish,
+however, to ask a question as to iodizing the paper. DR. DIAMOND says, lay
+the paper on the solution; then _immediately_ remove it, and lay on the dry
+side on blotting-paper, &c. Now I find, if I remove immediately, the whole
+sheet of paper curls up into a roll, and is quite unmanageable. I want to
+know, therefore, whether there is any objection to allowing the paper to
+remain on the iodizing solution until it lies flat on it, so that on
+removal it will not curl, and may be easily and conveniently laid on the
+dry side to pass the glass rod over it. As soon as the paper is floated on
+the solution (I speak of Turner's) it has a great tendency to curl, and
+takes some time before the expansion of both surfaces becoming equal allows
+it to lie quite flat on the liquid. May this operation be performed by the
+glass rod, without floating at all?
+
+Photographers, like myself, at a distance from practical instruction, are
+so much obliged for plain and simple directions such as those given by DR.
+DIAMOND, which are the result of experience, that I am sure he will not
+mind being troubled with a few inquiries relative to them.

+_Hockin's Short Sketch._--Mr. Hockin is so well known as a thoroughly
+practical chemist, that it may suffice to call attention to the fact of his
+having published a little brochure entitled _How to obtain Positive and
+Negative Pictures on Collodionized Glass, and copy the latter upon Paper. A
+Short Sketch adapted for the Tyro in Photography._ As the question of the
+_alkalinity_ of the nitrate bath is one which has lately been discussed, we
+will give, as a specimen of Mr. Hockin's book, a quotation, showing his
+opinion upon that question:
+
+    "_The sensitizing agent_, nitrate of silver in crystals, not the
+    ordinary fused in sticks, is nearly always confessedly adulterated; it
+    is thus employed:
+
+    "_The silver or nitrate bath._--Nitrate of silver five drachms,
+    distilled water ten ounces; dissolve and add iodized collodion two
+    drachms.
+
+    "Shake these well together, allow them to macerate twelve hours, and
+    filter through paper. Before adding the nitric acid, test the liquid
+    with a piece of blue litmus paper; if it remain blue after being
+    immersed one minute, add one drop of dilute nitric acid[3], and test
+    again for a minute; and so on, until a claret red is indicated on the
+    paper. It is necessary to test the bath in a similar manner, frequently
+    adding half a drop to a drop of dilute acid when required. This
+    precaution will prevent the fogging due to alkalinity of the bath, so
+    formidable an obstacle to young hands."
+
+[Footnote 3: "Dilute nitric acid.--Water fifty parts, nitric acid one
+part."]
+
+_Photographic Society's Exhibition._--The Photographic Society opened their
+first Exhibition of {17} Photographs and Daguerreotypes at the Gallery of
+the Society of British Artists, in Suffolk Street, with a _soiree_ on
+Tuesday evening last. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the
+rooms were crowded not only by members of the Society, but by many of the
+most distinguished literary and scientific men of the metropolis. The Queen
+and Prince Albert had, in the course of the morning, spent three hours in
+an examination of the collection; and the opinion they expressed, that the
+exhibition was one of great interest and promise, from the evidence it
+afforded of the extraordinary advance made by the art during the past year,
+and the encouragement it held out to the belief that far greater excellence
+might therefore still be looked for in it, was a very just one, and
+embodied that given afterwards by the most competent authorities. We have
+not room this week to enter into any details, but can confidently recommend
+our readers to pay an early visit to Suffolk Street.

+_Solar Eclipse in the Year 1263_ (Vol. viii., p. 441.).--In the
+_Transactions of the Antiquarian Society of Scotland_, vol. ii. p. 350.,
+there are "Observations on the Norwegian Expedition against Scotland in the
+year 1263," by John Dillon, Esq.; and at pp. 363-4, when speaking of the
+annular eclipse, he says:
+
+    "The eclipse above mentioned is described to have occurred between
+    these two dates [29th July and 9th August]. This being pointed out to
+    Dr. Brewster, he had the curiosity to calculate the eclipse, when he
+    found that there was an eclipse of the sun on 5th August, 1263, and
+    which was annular at Ronaldsvo, in Orkney, and the middle of it was
+    twenty-four minutes past one."
+
+These "Observations" contain much curious information; but are deformed by
+the author attempting to wrest the text of the Norwegian writer (at p. 358.
+and in note I.) to suit an absurd crotchet of his own. Having seen that
+essay in MS., I pointed out those errors; but instead of attending to my
+observations, he would not read them, and got into a passion against the
+friend who showed the MS. to me.

+_Lines on Woman_ (Vol. viii., pp. 292. 350. &c.).--The lines on Woman are,
+I presume, an altered version of those of Barret (Mrs. Barrett Browning?);
+they are the finale of a short poem on Woman; the correct version is the
+following:
+
+ "Peruse the sacred volume, Him who died
+  Her kiss betray'd not, nor her tongue denied;
+  While even the Apostle left Him to His doom,
+  She linger'd round His cross and watch'd His tomb."
+
+I would copy the whole poem, but fear you would think it too long for
+insertion.

+MA. L.
+
+    [Our correspondent furnishes an addition to our list of parallel
+    passages. The lines quoted by W. V. and those now given by our present

+
+_Satin_ (Vol. vii., p. 551.).--In a note just received by me from Canton,
+an American friend of mine remarks as follows:
+
+    "When you write again to 'N. & Q.' you can say that the word _satin_
+    (Vol. vii., p. 551.), like the article itself, is of Chinese origin,
+    and that other foreign languages, in endeavouring like the English to
+    imitate the Chinese _sz-tuen_, have {18} approximated closely to it,
+    and to each other. Of this the answers to the Query given in the place
+    referred to are a sufficient proof; Fr. _satin_, W. _sidan_, &c. &c."
+
+I suspect that he is right, and that Ogilvie and Webster, whom you quote,
+have not got to the bottom of the word. I may add that the notion of my
+Canton friend receives approval from a Chinese scholar to whom I have shown
+the above extract.

+_Sotades_ (Vol. viii., p. 520.).--Your correspondent CHARLES REED says that
+Sotades was a Roman poet 250 B.C.; and that to him we owe the line, "Roma
+tibi subito," &c. Sotades was a native of Maroneia in Thrace, or, according
+to others, of Crete; and flourished at Alexandria B.C. 280 (Smith's
+_Dictionary of Biography_, Clinton, F. H., vol. iii. p. 888.). We have a
+few fragments of his poems, but none of them are palindromical. The
+authority for his having written so, is, I suppose, Martial, Epig. II. 86.

+_The Third Part of "Christabel"_ (Vol. viii., pp. 11. 111.).--Has the
+_Irish Quarterly Review_ any other reason for ascribing this poem to Maginn
+than the common belief which makes him the sole and original Morgan
+Odoherty? If not, its evidence is of little value, as, exclusive of some
+pieces under that name which have been avowed by other writers, many of the
+Odoherty papers contain palpable internal evidence of having been written
+by a Scotchman, or at least one very familiar with Scotland, which at that
+time he was not; even the letter accompanying the third part of
+_Christabel_ is dated from Glasgow, and though this would in itself prove
+nothing, the circumstances above mentioned, as well as Dr. Moir's evidence
+as to the time when Maginn's contributions to _Blackwood_ commenced, seems
+strongly presumptive against his claim. Some of the earliest and most
+distinguished writers in _Blackwood_ are still alive, and could, no doubt,
+clear up this point at once, if so inclined.

+
+_Attainment of Majority_ (Vol. viii., pp. 198. 250.).--In my last
+communication upon this subject I produced undeniable authority to prove
+that the law did not regard the fraction of a day; this, I think, A. E. B.
+will admit. The question is, now, does the day on which a man attains his
+majority commence at six o'clock A.M., or at midnight? We must remember
+that we are dealing with a question of _English_ law; and therefore the
+evidence of an English decision will, I submit, be stronger proof of the
+latter mode of reckoning than the only positive proof with which A. E. B.
+has defended Ben Jonson's use of the former, viz. _Roman_.
+
+In a case tried in Michaelmas Term, 1704, Chief Justice Holt said:
+
+    "It has been adjudged that if one be born the 1st of February at eleven
+    at night, and the last of January in the twenty-first year of his age
+    at one o'clock in the morning, he makes his will of lands and dies, it
+    is a good will, for he was then of age."--_Salkeld_, 44.; _Raymond_,
+    480, 1096; 1 _Siderfin_, 162.
+
+In this case, therefore, the testator was accounted of age forty-six hours
+before the completion of his twenty-first year. Now, the law not regarding
+the fraction of a day, the above case, I submit, clearly proves that the
+day, as regards the attainment of majority, began at midnight.

+_Lord Halifax and Mrs. C. Barton_ (Vol. viii., pp. 429. 543.).--In answer
+to J. W. J.'s Query, I beg to state that I have in my possession a codicil
+of Mrs. Conduit's will in her own hand, dated 26th of January, 1737. This
+document refers to some theological tracts by Sir Isaac Newton, in his
+handwriting, which I have. On referring to the pedigree of the Barton
+family, I find that Colonel Robert Barton married Catherine Greenwood,
+whose father lived at Rotterdam, and was ancestor of Messrs. Greenwood,
+army agents. His issue were Major Newton Barton, who married Elizabeth
+Ekins, Mrs. Burr, and Catherine Robert Barton. I find no mention of Colonel
+Noel Barton. The family of Ekins had been previously connected with that of
+Barton, Alexander Ekins, Rector of Barton Segrave, having married Jane
+Barton of Brigstock. The writer of this note will be obliged if J. W. J.,
+or any correspondent of "N. & Q.," will inform him if anything is known
+respecting an ivory bust of Sir Isaac Newton, executed by Marchand or
+Marchant, which is said to have been an excellent likeness.

+_The fifth Lord Byron_ (Vol. viii., p. 2.).--I cannot but think that MR.
+HASLEDEN'S memory has deceived him as to the "wicked lord" having {19}
+settled his estates upon the marriage of his son; how is this to be
+reconciled with the often published statement, that the marriage of his son
+with his cousin Juliana, daughter of the admiral, and aunt of the late and
+present lords, was made not only without the consent, but in spite of the
+opposition, of the old lord, and that he never forgave his son in
+consequence?

+
+_Burton Family_ (Vol. iv., pp. 22. 124.).--In connexion with a Query which
+was kindly noticed by MR. ALGOR of Sheffield, who did not however
+communicate anything new to me, I would ask who was Samuel Burton, Esq.,
+formerly Sheriff of Derbyshire; whose death at Sevenoaks, in October, 1750,
+I find recorded in the Obituary of the _Gentleman's Magazine_ for that
+year? I am also desirous to ascertain who was Sir Francis Cavendish Burton
+of St. Helens, whose daughter and heiress, Martha, married Richard Sikes,
+Esq., ancestor of the Sikes's of the Chauntry House near Newark. She died
+since 1696. Both Samuel Burton and Mrs. Sikes were related to the Burtons
+of Kilburn, in the parish of Horsley, near Derby, to whom my former Query
+referred.

+_Provost Hodgson's Translation of the Atys of Catullus_ (Vol. viii., p.

+beg to state that it will be found appended to an octavo edition of
+Hodgson's poem of _Lady Jane Grey_.
+
+In the same volume will be found, I believe (for I have not the work before
+me), some of the modern Latin poetry respecting which BALLIOLENSIS
+inquiries. The justly admired translation of _Edwin and Angelina_, to which
+the latter refers, was by Hodgson's too early lost friend Lloyd. The
+splendid pentameter is slightly misquoted by BALLIOLENSIS. It is not--
+
+ "Poscimus in _terris_ pauca, nec illa diu."
+
+but--

+ "Poscimus in _vita_," &c.

+Elias Ashmole; where, in treating of Bisham, that learned antiquary has
+given the inscriptions to the Hoby family as existing _and legible in his
+time_. It does not appear that Sir Philip Hoby, or Hobbie, Knight, was ever
+of the Privy Council; but, in 1539, one of the Gentlemen of the Privy
+Chamber to King Henry VIII. (which monarch granted to him in 1546-7 the
+manor of Willoughby in Edmonton, co. Middlesex), Sir Thomas Hoby, the
+brother, and successor in the estates of Sir Philip, was, in 1566,
+ambassador to France; and died at Paris July 13 in the same year (not
+1596), aged thirty-six. The coat of the Hobys of Bisham, as correctly
+given, is "Argent, within a border engrailed sable, three spindles,
+threaded in fesse, gules." A grant or confirmation of this coat was made by
+Sir Edward Bysshe, Clarenceux, to Peregrine Hoby of Bisham, Berks, natural
+son of Sir Edward Hoby, Nov. 17, 1664. The Bisham family bore no crest nor
+motto.

+Thibet, Tartary, &c. are said to be a pure fabrication, concocted by some
+Parisian _litterateur_, I cannot know what degree of credit, if any, is to
+be given to such a statement. All I wish to communicate at present for the
+information of your Querist C. W. B. is this, that I have read an account
+and abstract of Messrs. Huc and Gabet's _Travels_ in one of the ablest and
+best conducted French reviews, _La Revue des Deux Mondes_; in which not the
+least suspicion of fabrication is hinted, or the slightest doubt expressed
+as to the genuineness of these _Travels_. Mr. Princep, also, in his work on
+Thibet, Tartary, &c. quotes largely from Huc's Travel's, and avails himself
+extensively of the information contained in them with reference to
+Buddhism, &c.
+
+Should the writer in the _Gardener's Chronicle_ have it in his power to
+_prove_ the _Travels_ to be a fabrication, he will confer a benefit on the
+world of letters by unmasking the fabricator.

+_Pictures at Hampton Court Palace_ (Vol. viii., p. 538.).--In reply to

+George III., after the Prince of Wales assumed the command of that
+regiment, I beg to state that the Prince entered the army as
+brevet-colonel, Nov. 19, 1782; that the regiment received the title of "The
+Prince of Wales's own Regiment of Light Dragoons" on Michaelmas Day, 1783:
+that the regiment was stationed in the south of England and in the vicinity
+of London for many years, from 1790 to 1803 inclusive; and that King George
+III. repeatedly reviewed it, accompanied by the queen and the royal family.
+That the Prince of Wales was appointed Colonel-commandant of the corps in
+1793, and succeeded Sir W. A. Pitt as colonel of it in July 18, 1796. That
+the regiment was reviewed on Hounslow Heath by the King in August, 1799;
+and the Prince of Wales (who commanded it in person) received his Majesty's
+orders to convey his Majesty's approbation of its excellent appearance and
+performance. Perhaps the picture by Sir William Beechey was painted in
+1799, and not 1798. I did not find the catalogue at Hampton Court free from
+errors, when I last visited the palace in October, 1852.

+has mistaken, the _gender_ of the parent's name? _Alicia fil. Adae_ would

+"_Service is no Inheritance_" (Vol. viii., p. 586.).--This proverbial

+occasion, the party admitted to the estate, whether purchaser or heir,
+"fecit fidelitatem suam et solvit relevium;" the relief being generally a

+was recommended to Sir Christopher by Evelyn, I think; but not having "made

+_Lawyers' Bags_ (Vol. vii. _passim_).--The communication of MR. KERSLEY, in
+p. 557., although it does not support the inference which COL. LANDMAN
+draws, that the colour of lawyers' bags was changed in consequence of the
+unpopularity which it acquired at the trial of Queen Caroline, seems to
+show that _green_ was at one time the colour of those professional pouches.
+The question still remains, when and on what occasion it was discontinued;
+and when the purple, and when the crimson, were introduced?
+
+When I entered the profession (about fifty years ago), no junior barrister
+presumed to carry a bag in the Court of Chancery, unless one had been
+presented to him by a king's counsel; who, when a junior was advancing in
+practice, took an opportunity of complimenting him on his increase of
+business, and giving him his own bag to carry home his papers. It was then
+a distinction to carry a bag, and a proof that a junior was rising {21} in
+his profession. I do not know whether the same custom prevailed in the
+other courts.

+
+In this city (Philadelphia) lawyers formerly carried green bags. The custom
+has declined of late years among the members of the legal profession, and

+their work to and from the workshop. A green bag is now the badge of a

+_Bust of Luther_ (Vol. viii., p. 335.).--MR. J. G. FITCH asks for

+through a German acquaintance, who has resided the greater part of his life
+in that city, that the effigy was erected to commemorate the event of
+Luther's having, during a short stay in Frankfort, preached near that spot;
+and that the words surrounding the bust were his text on the occasion. He
+adds that Luther at no period of his life "lived for some years" at
+Frankfort, as stated by MR. FITCH.

+
+Mr. Timbs announces for publication by subscription, _Curiosities of
+London: exhibiting the most rare and remarkable Objects of Interest in the
+Metropolis_. Mr. Timbs states, the authorities for his work have been
+four-and-twenty years in collection; and that the utmost pains has been
+taken to verify names, dates, and circumstances, so as to insure accuracy.
+In this labour the author has been aided by the communications of many
+obliging friends, as well as by his own recollection of nearly fifty years'
+changes in the aspects of "opulent, enlarged, and still increasing London."
+
+It is proposed to publish by subscription _The Visitation of the County of
+Northumberland_, taken by Richard St. George, Esq., Norroy King of Arms,
+and Henry St. George, Esq., Blue Mantle Pursuivant of Arms, A.D. 1615. To
+be printed in tables on folio, with the arms engraved on wood, price One
+Guinea; or large paper, royal folio, Two Guineas; or large paper with the
+arms emblazoned (of which only the number subscribed for will be done),
+Five Guineas. Subscribers' names will be received by Mr. John Gray Bell,
+No. 17. Bedford Street, Covent Garden.
+
+The first number of the _Antiquities of Shropshire_, by the Rev. R. W.
+Eyton, has just been issued for the sake of determining the author's doubts
+as to whether there is any general wish for such a publication. Should the
+answer be in the negative, the author will neither forget his obligation to
+present subscribers, nor the explanation which he will farther owe them if
+the work be discontinued. The work will extend at least to five volumes, or
+twenty parts, and, according to the present plan, will be completed in not
+less than five years. Any subscriber will be at liberty to withdraw his
+name, by giving notice to that effect within one month after the
+publication of any fourth part, or completed volume. Three hundred copies
+of Part I. have been printed, but the number of the future parts will be
+limited to those subscribed for within the next three months.
+
+_The Surrey Archaeological Society_ propose holding the Inaugural General
+Meeting of the Society in Southwark early in the month of February, and to
+exhibit upon the occasion a collection of such objects of antiquarian
+interest relating to Surrey as may be contributed for that purpose. Parties
+are invited to favour the Society with the loan of such objects.

+Hours_. A set of little books similar in object and design to Pickering's
+well-known series of _Small Books on Great Subjects_.--_Beauties of Byron,

+be acceptable to many who would object to place the collected edition of
+the noble bard's writings in the hands of the younger members of their
+family.--_Speeches on Parliamentary Reform_, by the Right Hon. T. B.

+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
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org

+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit 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.
