W. T. (quoting from D'Israeli's + <i>Curiosities of Literature</i> a passage which supplies the hexameter + completing the distich, and attributes the verses to Sidonius + Apollinaris) asks where may be found a legend which represents the two + lines to have formed part of a dialogue between the fiend, under the form + of a mule, and a monk, who was his rider. B. H. C., at p. 521. of the + same volume, sends a passage from the <i>Dictionnaire Littéraire</i>, + giving the complete distich:</p> + + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="hg3">"Signa te, signa, temere me tangis et angis.</p> + <p>Roma tibi subito motibus ibit amor,"</p> + </div> + </div> + + <p>and attributing it to the devil, but without supplying any more + authentic parentage for the lines. The following Note will contribute a + fact or two to the investigation of the subject; but I shall be obliged + to conclude by reiterating the original Query of <span + class="sc">Bœoticus</span>, Who was the real author of the + lines?</p> + + <p>In a little work entitled <i>A Summer in Brittany</i>, published by me + in 1840, may be found (at p. 99. of vol. i.) a legend, which relates how + one Jean Patye, canon of Cambremer, in the chapter of Bayeux, rode the + devil to Rome, for the purpose of there chanting the epistle at the + midnight mass at Christmas, according to the tenor of an ancient bond, + which obliged the chapter to send one of their number yearly to Rome for + that purpose. This story I met with in a little volume, entitled + <i>Contes populaires, Préjugés, Patois, Proverbes de l'Arrondissement de + Bayeux, recueillis et publiés</i>, par F. Pluquet, the frontispiece of + which consists of a sufficiently graphic representation of the worthy + canon's feat. Pluquet concludes his narrative by stating that—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"Etienne Tabourot dans ses <i>Bigarrures</i>, publiées sous le nom du + <i>Seigneur des Accords</i>, rapporte que c'est à Saint Antide que le + diable, qui le portait à Rome sur son dos, adresse le distique latin dont + il est question ci-dessus."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>It should seem that this trick of <i>carrying people to Rome</i> was + attributed to the devil, by those conversant with his habits, in other + centuries besides the nineteenth.</p> + + <p>I have not here the means of looking at the work to which Pluquet + refers; but if any of your correspondents, who live in more bookish lands + than this, will do so, they may perchance obtain some clue to the + original authorship of the lines; for in Sidonius Apollinaris I cannot + find them. The only edition of his works to which I have the means of + referring is the quarto of Adrien Perrier, Paris, 1609.

I have no doubt that he found it so recorded somewhere, and + willingly believed that his countrymen had prevailed, not only over + superior numbers of the enemy, but also over greater experience on the + part of the hostile general; but a little more investigation would have + shown him that the difference of age lay the other way. Henry Percy, by + his own account (in the Scrope and Grosvenor Controversy), was born in + 1366, and was therefore twenty-two when the battle was fought. I do not + know that there is any direct evidence to Douglas's age, but the + following considerations appear to me decisive as to his being much older + than his rival.</p> + + <p>1. Froissart's visit to Scotland was undoubtedly prior to 1366 + (although the exact date is not given), and during his stay of fifteen + days at Dalkeith, he saw much of the youthful heir of that castle, the + future hero of Otterburn, and describes him as a "promising youth."</p> + + <p>2. Hotspur, in his deposition above mentioned, says that he first bore + arms at the siege of Berwick in 1378; but his antagonist must have + commenced his military career long before, as Froissart mentions him as + knighted on the occasion of the battle fought a few days after the + surrender of that place, between Sir Archibald Douglas and Sir Thomas + Musgrave; none but kings' sons were knighted in childhood in those days, + or without undergoing a long previous probation in the inferior grades of + chivalry.</p> + + <p>3. An early and constant family (if not general) tradition asserts + that Douglas had a natural son <!-- Page 349 --><span class="pagenum"><a + name="page349"></a>{349}</span>(ancestor of the Cavers family), old + enough to bear his father's banner in the battle; on this, however, I lay + little stress, as Froissart distinctly assigns that honourable post to + another person, David Campbell, who was slain by the side of his + lord.</p> + + <p>Mr. Tytler is also evidently wrong in placing, on the authority of + Macpherson's <i>Notes on Winton</i>, this battle on the 5th of August, + 1388. Froissart gives the date as the 19th of August, and as the moon was + full on the 18th, the combatants would have bright moonlight all night, + which agrees with all the narratives; on the 5th they would have little + moonlight, and would have lost it soon.</p> + + <p>Though not very germane to the matter, except as being a point of + chronology, I may add here that the remarkable solar eclipse, long + remembered in Scotland by the name of the "Dark Hour," did not occur, as + stated by Mr. Tytler, on 17th June, 1432, but on the same month and day + of the following year.</p> + + <p class="author"><span class="sc">J.

With this + wicked design, the Earl of Leicester informed her Majesty that the + council had been examining Sir Richard Bulkeley, and that they found him + a dangerous person; that he dwelt in a suspicious corner of the world, + and should be committed to the Tower. 'What! Sir Richard Bulkeley!' said + the Queen; 'he never intended us any harm. We have brought him up from a + boy, and have had special trial of his fidelity; ye shall not commit + him.' 'We have the care of your Majesty's person,' said the Earl, 'and + see more and hear more of the man than you do: he is of an aspiring mind, + and lives in a remote place.' 'Before God!' replied the Queen; 'we will + be sworn upon the Holy Evangelists, he never intended any harm.' And then + her Majesty ran to the Bible, and kissing it, said: 'You shall not commit + him; we have brought him up from a boy.' Sir Richard, however, was too + high-minded to suffer such an imputation to be laid to his character. He + insisted on an inquiry; during which it appeared, that Lord Dudley, Earl + of Leicester, had been appointed a ranger of the Royal Forest of Snowdon, + which, in the Queen's time, included some portion of Merioneth and + Anglesey. This nobleman's insolence to the inhabitants of the forest was + more than could be brooked. He tried to bring many freeholders' estates + within the boundary; juries were empannelled, but the commissioners + rejected their returns as unfavourable to the Earl. Those honest jurors, + however, persisted, and found a verdict for the country. But in the year + 1538, he succeeded by a packed jury, who appeared in his livery, blue, + with ragged staves on the sleeves; men who, after this nefarious act, + were stigmatised with the title of 'The Black Jury who sold their + country.' Sir Richard Bulkeley, who, with Sir William Herbert and others, + superseded a prior commission, resisted this oppression with great + firmness, and laid those odious grievances before the Queen, whose regard + for her loyal subjects in Wales was evinced by the recalling of the first + commission, by proclamation at Westminster, in 1579. The Earl being + worsted, sought the life of Sir Richard by having him charged as above. + But this generous and patriotic nobleman, by his excellent and manly + conduct, overthrew every malevolent design of his enemy; and came out of + this fiery trial as clear as the pellucid crystal of Snowdon."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p class="author">R.

In the last volume + issued by the Chetham Society (<i>Documents relating to the Priory of + Penwortham, and other Possessions in Lancashire of the Abbey of + Evesham</i>, edited by W. A. Hulton, Esq.) that point is ably discussed; + and as Mr. Hulton's views on a subject of so much interest cannot but be + valuable, I venture to extract them, as worthy of a place in "N. & + Q." He says:</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"Donations of churches with tithes are made directly after the survey + of <i>Domesday</i> was taken. And yet that survey is entirely silent as + to their existence. Similar omissions have given rise to doubts, whether + the institution of our parochial economy had been carried out to its full + extent previous to the Conquest, and whether we are not indebted to the + Normans for its full perfection. Such doubts are unfounded.... There is + nothing in <i>Domesday</i> to justify the doubts alluded to. A + consideration of the objects of that survey will dissipate them: the + purpose was principally financial. It was directed so as to obtain a + correct account of the taxable property within the kingdom. And it was + immaterial whether the proceeds were paid altogether to the owner, or a + definite portion was diverted into other channels. Therefore those + churches which were endowed only with tithes of the surrounding + districts, as Eccleston and Croston, Penwortham and Leyland, in Leyland + Hundred, and Rochdale and Eccles, in Salford Hundred, were unnoticed, + although the two first-named churches were granted by Roger de Poictou, + with their tithes and other appurtenances, to the Priory of Lancaster; + and the pages of the <i>Coucher Book of Whalley</i> prove the two latter + churches to have existed at a date perhaps anterior to the Conquest. But + the case was different when a church was endowed with glebe-land. Such a + church appeared in the light of a landowner, and in that character is its + existence notified.

His studies here did not much benefit him; and + although intended for the church, we find him at a later period actually + highly commending the Lord's Prayer, and seriously inquiring by whom it + was written. On his declining a clerical life, he was sent to the French + army in Piedmont in 1643. He served under his brother, the Marshal, and + the Prince de Condé; and was present at the three battles of Fribourg on + the 3rd, 5th, and 9th Aug. 1644; and at that of Nordlinguen on the 3rd + Aug. 1645. It was at the battle of Fribourg that the Prince de Condé, + having failed in his first attack on the enemy, got off horseback, and + placed himself at the head of the regiment of Conti, whilst all the + officers and volunteers alighted also, amongst whom is mentioned the + Chevalier de Grammont; and this reassuring the soldiers, they charged the + enemy, who fled into a wood under favour of the approaching night. At + Nordlinguen, the Marshal de Grammont was taken prisoner, and nearly + murdered by the Germans, to revenge the death of their General, the great + Mercy, who was slain in the battle. The Marshal was subsequently + exchanged against Gen. Gleen.</p> + + <p>In 1647 Grammont served again under his brother and the Prince de + Condé in Spain: and in 1648 he was present with them at the battle of + Lens on the 20th Aug., where the Archduke Leopold and General Beck were + totally defeated in Flanders.</p> + + <p>The troubles of the Fronde now commenced; and in the first instance + Grammont zealously attached himself to the prince. In Dec. 1649, he + tested the accuracy of the report that it was intended to assassinate the + prince by sending his own coach with the prince's liveries over the Pont + Neuf, to see what would occur. The result was, the coach was fired at; + but, as no one was in it, the would-be assassins did no harm. During the + imprisonment of the princes, Grammont, with others, joined the Spanish + army which had advanced into Picardy, in consequence of the treaty the + Duchesse de Longueville and Turenne had made with the King of Spain.</p> + + <p>We do not find when Grammont left the prince's party; the prince + himself admitted it was with honour. He seems to have connected himself + with Gaston, Duke of Orleans; and is styled about this time by "la Grande + Mademoiselle" as one of her father's gentlemen. She also relates that + when the royal forces threatened Orleans, the inhabitants sent to the + duke for succour, and he sent the Count de Fiesque and Mons. de Grammont, + who appeased their fears. The duke also advised his daughter to take the + opinion of Fiesque and Grammont in all matters, as they had been in + Orleans long enough to know what ought to be done. When Mademoiselle was + trying to effect an entrance into the city, Grammont incited the + inhabitants to assist in breaking open a gate, which the authorities, + under fear of the royal displeasure, were afraid to direct. The gate was + broken open, and she was borne in triumph along the streets.</p> + + <p>It was probably at this period that Grammont sighed for the Countess + de Fiesque (about whom he, and his nephew the Count de Guiche, + quarrelled); as Mademoiselle, in her <i>Memoirs</i>, relates that, in the + year 1656, on her interview with Christina, Queen of Sweden, she + presented to her, amongst others, the Countess de Fiesque, one of her + ladies of honour. The Queen observed: "The Countess de Fiesque is not so + beautiful as to have made so much noise; is the Chevalier de Grammont + still in love with her?"</p> + + <p>In 1654 Grammont accompanied the Court to Peronne; where they + anxiously awaited Turenne's attempt to force the Prince de Condé's lines + at Arras, as related in the <i>Memoirs</i>.</p> + + <p>On the 25th Nov. 1655, Madame de Sevigné writes to Bussi-Rabutin, + relating an anecdote in which Grammont was a party.</p> + + <p>Madame de Motteville relates that Queen Christina rallied the + Chevalier de Grammont on the passion he had then for the Duchesse de + Mercœur, one of Cardinal Mazarin's nieces; and spared him only on + account of the utter hopelessness of it.</p> + + <p>It is about this period we are inclined to place Grammont's first + visit to England; where curiosity, Hamilton informs us, drew him to see + so remarkable a character as Cromwell; but this visit will be a good + starting-place for the next Number.</p> + + <p class="author"><span class="sc">W.

W. Newman, in his little work entitled <i>Regal + Rome</i>, maintains that the old languages of Italy, especially the + Umbrian and Sabine, contained a striking predominance of Celtic + ingredients, and he wishes to show that this is still evident even in the + Latin of Cicero. His proof rests on vocabularies (pp. 19—26.), + especially in regard to the military, political, and <!-- Page 357 + --><span class="pagenum"><a name="page357"></a>{357}</span>religious + words which he supposes the Romans derived from the Sabines (p. 61.). + With regard to these lists, I have to observe, that while all that is + valid in the comparison merely gives the Indo-Germanic of the Celtic + languages—a fact beyond dispute—Mr. Newman takes no pains to + discriminate between the marks of an original identity of root, and those + words which the Celts of Britain derived from their Roman + conquerors."—Donaldson's <i>Varronianus</i>, p. 64.</p> + + <p>"It is to be remarked, that almost <i>all the words</i> of the British + tongue agree either with the Greek or Latin. It is this strong similarity + of features between their own language and those of Greece and Italy, + that has induced so many of my countrymen to claim for it the honour of + being the mother-tongue of all, and to scorn all examination which did + not commence with this confession. Even the late learned Dr. Owen Pugh + has, in his <i>Dictionary</i>, by arbitrarily selecting certain syllables + as the roots of all Cumrian words, done much to foster this overweening + conceit. The system was carried to its extreme point of absurdity by the + Rev. Edward Davies, who by the help of such syllables expected to unravel + the mysteries of all languages. This failure has I hope paved the way for + the more sober consideration of the question, which, if worked out + fairly, will in my opinion establish the claim of the Cumrian tongue, if + not to be the mother of all tongues, at least to be a valuable branch of + the Caucasian tree of languages. Now, had the two races, the Roman and + Cumrian, remained always separate, a comparative etymology would have + been an easy task; for no more would be necessary than to put the similar + roots, having the same meaning, side by side. But, unfortunately for the + scholar who undertakes to prove the question, the Romans were in this + island four hundred years, colonised it partly, and partly gave it their + own form of civilisation. As before mentioned, the inhabitants adopted + with avidity the Roman dress, language, and literature. That language + must therefore be supposed to have entered deeply into the composition of + the present Cumrian tongue. The sceptical examiner may therefore + reasonably object, that any similarity between the two languages might + have originated in the adoption of that of Rome by the British + provincials. In answer to this I refer in the first place to Lloyd's + reasoning, quoted in the note," viz. that the same similarity exists + between the Latin and the Erse [see Newman, in the <i>Classical + Museum</i>, vol. vi.]. "In the second place to the fact, that Wales and + Cornwall do not appear to have been occupied, like the rest of England, + by the Romans."... "Still, however, the long residence of the Romans in + the island, with the known influence always produced by such a state of + things, renders every statement grounded on the similarity alone of the + languages of the two races, the conquered and the conquerors, liable to + suspicion. I have therefore been compelled to enter upon an exceedingly + difficult investigation, which, if successful, must prove the radical + identity of the Latin and Cumrian tongues. The proof is this: If there + are derivative words in the Latin, of which we must seek the primitives + in the Cumrian, and if these primitives be shown to furnish an + explanation of many words before inexplicable on etymological principles. + For example, if the word 'to tread' under various forms be found, with + the meaning 'to trample with the feet,' in most of the western languages + of Europe, and have no noun to base itself upon in these languages, and + yet the noun 'traed the feet' be found in one of them, the inference is + irresistible that the verb in all its forms was derived from this root. + To deny this would be equivalent to a denial that the Latin verb + <i>calcare</i> came from <i>calx</i>, 'the heel.' In the following list, + such words alone, with a few exceptions for the sake of etymological + illustration, have been introduced. It might have been indefinitely + extended, but the difficulty was to confine the examples within moderate + limits."—Williams on <i>One Source of the Non-Hellenic Portion of + the Latin Language</i>.<a name="footnotetag2" + href="#footnote2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>This eminent scholar supplies sixty-two, with explanatory notes, and + subjoins a list of sixty-three.

The + induction fails completely in both parts, as might easily be shown. When + Cæsar landed in Britain, the natives were agriculturists, densely + planted. And Halley proved, that the harvest which Cæsar's soldiers + reaped had ripened at the average period of a Kentish harvest in his + days. Assuredly then the Britons had not the agricultural names to learn + from the Romans of an after age."</p> + + <p>"I begin," says Newman, "with the country and domestic animals, which + will show how very far from the truth Niebuhr was, when he imagined that + in words connected with 'the gentler pursuits of life' the Roman language + has peculiarly extensive agreement with the Hellenic."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>When your correspondent T.

In the case of Welsh it was, I believe, at first + supposed that the words must have been introduced by the Roman dominion + in Britain; but when the likeness was found to exist in the Erse, and + that the Erse was even more like to Latin (as regards the consonants) + than the Welsh is, this idea of course fell to <!-- Page 358 --><span + class="pagenum"><a name="page358"></a>{358}</span>the ground. The scholar + and physiologist, who pressed into notice the strong similarities of the + Celtic to the European languages, and claimed a place for Celtic within + that group, Dr. Prichard, has naturally fixed his attention with so much + strength on the <i>primitive</i> relations of all these tongues, as to be + jealous and suspicious of an argument, which alleges that the one has + borrowed from the other. Some ten years ago, by his favour, I read a MS. + of a vocabulary (the composition of Dr. Stratton, formerly of Aberdeen), + which compared the Gaelic with the Latin tongue in alphabetical order + without comment or development. From this vocabulary Prichard gives an + extract in his chapter on the Italian nations, and finds it entirely to + confirm his views that the Roman language has not suffered any larger + admixture by a foreign action. What is or was Dr. Stratton's opinion, I + never heard. His vocabulary first suggested to me the value of this + inquiry, and that is all. Having now been led to a fuller examination of + the Welsh and Gaelic dictionaries, I find not only a far greater + abundance of material (especially in the Welsh) than I could have + imagined; but also, that by grouping words aright, conclusions result + such as I had not expected, and adverse to those of Dr. Prichard."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>Professor Newman, as T.

This + series of works, calculated beyond all others of their kind to delight + the possessor, will however, thanks to photography, soon be obtainable by + all admirers of the great master. Two distinguished French photographers, + the brothers MM. Bisson, have succeeded in obtaining, by means of this + wonderful art, copies of a fidelity attainable by no other process: so + that the wondrous lights, shades, half-tones, and chiaro-obscuro, for + which Rembrandt is so remarkable, are preserved in all their original + beauty. The plates will be accompanied by descriptive letter-press, and + by a Biography of Rembrandt from the pen of M. Charles Blanc. As the + works are so numerous, the first series will consist of forty plates, to + be issued in ten livraisons, each containing four plates, price twenty + francs; a very moderate sum, if we remember that among the works thus to + be issued, at a cost of five francs each, will be found copies of such + gems as the <i>Avocat Tolling</i> and the <i>Pièce de Cent + Florins</i>.</p> + + <p><i>Coloured Photographs.</i>—I have lately seen, and very much + admired, some specimens of photographic coloured portraits.

The specimens I refer to + appear to have been soaked in oil, or some transparent varnish, and then + coloured in separate tints, probably from the back; the shadows being + <i>entirely</i> photographic.

Its + original signification is correctly stated: the garbling of spices, + drugs, &c., meant the selection of the good and the rejection of the + bad. But the garbling of a passage cited as a testimony is a precisely + analogous process. The person who garbles the passage omits those parts + which can be used against his view, and adduces only those parts which + support his conclusion. He selects the parts which are good, and rejects + those which are bad, <i>for his purpose</i>.

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, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/30644-h/images/233_060.png b/30644-h/images/233_060.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c2ebdf7 --- /dev/null +++ b/30644-h/images/233_060.png diff --git a/30644-h/images/233_combe.png b/30644-h/images/233_combe.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c18d02e --- /dev/null +++ b/30644-h/images/233_combe.png |
