The imprint is fictitious. It + was much used by the Elzévirs, and by other Dutch printers. The second + edition, with the same imprint, is dated in 1714 (Cat. de Guyon de + Sardière, No. 939.). The third edition was printed at Rotterdam in 1716. + The <i>avis</i> 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*).

Antoine Hamilton étant catholique, il ne put obtenir d'emploi en + Angleterre; et rien ne fut capable d'ébranler ni sa religion, ni la + fidélité qu'il devoit à son roi.</p> + + <p>"Le roi Jaques étant monté sur le trône, il lui donna un regiment + d'infanterie en Irlande et le gouvernement de Limeric. Mais ce prince, + ayant été obligé de quitter ses etats le comte Hamilton repassa avec la + famille royale en France. C'est-là et pendant le long séjour qu'il y a + fait, qu'il a composé les divers ouvrages qui lui ont acquis tant de + réputation. Il mourut à S. Germain le 21 Avril 1720. dans de grands + sentimens de piété, et après avoir reçu les derniers sacremens. Il étoit + âgé alors d'environ 74 ans. Il a mérité les regrets de tous ceux qui + avoient le bonheur de le connoître. Né sérieux, il avoit dans l'esprit + tous les agrémens imaginables; mais ce qui est plus digne de louanges, à + ces agrémens, qui vent frivoles sans la vertu, il joignoit toutes les + qualitéz du cœur."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>If the above <i>avertissement</i> 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 Moréri of 1759, we have it almost + <i>verbatim</i>, but taken from the <i>Œuvres du comte Antoine + Hamilton</i>, 1749. Neither Brunet, nor Renouard, nor Quérard notice the + edition of 1746.

In reprinting the dedication to madame du Deffand, I had + to insert <i>eight</i> accents to make decent French of it! The + <i>avis</i> is a mere medley of fragments: I could not ask a compositor + to set it up! The <i>avertissement</i> is copied, without a word of + intimation to that effect, from the edition of 1746. The notes to the + <i>épître</i> are also copied from that edition, except <i>L'abbé de + Chaulieu</i>; 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 <i>Key</i>. Where are the + <i>éclaircissements</i>? I find none except a list of proper + names—of which about one-third part is omitted!</p> + + <p>In quoting Brunet, I have used the fourth edition of the <i>Manuel du + libraire</i>, 1842-4; in quoting Renouard, I refer to the <i>avis</i> + prefixed to the <i>Œuvres du comte Antoine Hamilton</i>, 1812; in + quoting Quérard, to <i>La France littéraire</i>, 1827-39. The other + references are to sale catalogues. The titles of the books described, and + the extracts, are given <i>literatim</i>, and, except as above noted, + with the same accentuation and punctuation.</p> + + <p>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!</p> + + <p>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 <!-- Page 5 --><span class="pagenum"><a + name="page5"></a>{5}</span>and places—a revision of the + punctuation—and a strict conformity, as to general orthography and + accentuation, with the <i>Dictionnaire de l'Académie française</i>, as + edited in 1835. The substance of the <i>avis</i> of 1713 might be stated + in a preface; and the <i>avertissement</i> of 1746, a clever composition, + would serve as an introduction and memoir of the author. Those who doubt + its value may consult the <i>Grand dictionnaire historique</i>, and the + <i>Biographie universelle</i>. 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.</p> + + <p>As the indications of a projected re-impression may be fallacious, I + shall conclude with a word of advice to inexperienced collectors. Avoid + the <i>jolie édition</i> printed at Paris by F. A. Didot, <i>par ordre de + monseigneur le comte d'Artois</i>, 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 <i>d'après des tableaux originaux</i>. + The most desirable editions are, 1. The edition of 1760; 2. That of 1772, + as a <i>curiosity</i>; 3. That edited by M. Renouard, Paris, 1812, + 18<sup>o</sup>. 2 vols.; 4. That edited by M. Renouard in 1812, + 8<sup>o</sup>. with eight portraits. The latter edition forms part of the + <i>Œuvres du comte Antoine Hamilton</i> in 3 vols. It seldom occurs + for sale.</p> + + <p class="author"><span class="sc">Bolton Corney</span>.</p> + +<hr class="short" /> + +<h3>THE "ANCREN RIWLE."</h3> + + <p>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<a name="footnotetag1" + href="#footnote1"><sup>[1]</sup></a>, 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 <i>unweote</i> the second hand has + <i>congoun</i>; at p. 62., for <i>herigen</i> it has <i>preisen</i>; at + p. 90., for <i>on cheafle</i>, it reads <i>o muþe</i>, &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 <i>scandle</i>, the first hand has <i>schonde</i>; at p. 62., + for <i>baldeliche</i> it reads <i>bradliche</i>; at p. 88., for <i>nout + for</i>, it has <i>anonden</i>, and the second hand <i>aneust</i>; at p. + 90., for <i>sunderliche</i> it reads <i>sunderlepes</i>, &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: "<i>Datum abbatie et conventui de Leghe per Dame + M. de Clare.</i>" 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 <i>Ancren Riwle</i>, + 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 <i>Riwle</i> now preserved in + Magdalen College, and this supposition may well enough be reconciled with + the words of Leland, who says of him,—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"Edidit inter cætera, libros <i>septem</i> de Vita Solitaria, <!-- + Page 6 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="page6"></a>{6}</span>ad Virgines + Tarentinas, Duriæ cultrices."—<i>Comment</i>., p. 316.</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>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 <i>Riwle</i>, 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, "<i>Plesance. M [mil]. en vn</i>." + 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 <i>fifth</i> copy of the <i>Ancren Riwle</i>, 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<sup>b</sup>.—392.

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.

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 <i>Regal Rome</i>, 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 <i>merely</i> 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 <i>Comparative Grammar</i> 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.</p> + + <p>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.

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 <i>if this take place all round</i>, 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.</p> + + <p>But it does not follow that the process <i>will</i> 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 <!-- Page 15 + --><span class="pagenum"><a name="page15"></a>{15}</span><i>regular</i> + curved polygon, having the two axes for axes of symmetry. The process + would then stop.</p> + + <p>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.</p> + + <p>Suppose, as in <span class="sc">Mr. Ingleby's</span> question, that + the creases are not at right angles to each other; supposing the eye and + the scissors <i>perfect</i>, the results will be as follows:</p> + + <p>First, suppose the angle made by the creases to be what the + mathematicians call <i>incommensurable</i> with the whole revolution; + that is, suppose that no repetition of the angle will produce an + <i>exact</i> 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.</p> + + <p>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.</p> + + <p>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.</p> + + <p>Any reader who chooses may amuse himself by trying results from three + or more axes, whether all passing through one point or not.</p> + + <p class="author"><span class="sc">A.

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.

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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/27614-h/images/oldew.png b/27614-h/images/oldew.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6ed1a6b --- /dev/null +++ b/27614-h/images/oldew.png |
