+
+CURIOUS OLD PAMPHLET.
+
+Grubbing among old pamphlets, the following has turned up:
+
+    "A Fragment of an Essay towards the most ancient Histories of the Old
+    and New Worlds, connected. Intended to be carried on in four Parts or
+    Aeras. That is, from the Creation of all Things to the Time of the
+    Deluge: thence to the Birth of Abraham: from that Period to the Descent
+    of Jacob and his Family into Egypt: and, lastly, to the Time of the
+    Birth of Moses. Attempted to be executed in Blank Verse, 8vo. pp. 59.
+    Printed in the year 1765."
+
+This Miltonic rhapsody supposes Adam, when verging on his nine hundreth
+year, to have assembled his descendants to a kind of jubilee, when
+sacrifices, and other antediluvian solemnities, being observed, "Seth, the
+pious son of his comfort, gravely arose, and, after due obedience to the
+first of men, humbly beseeched the favour to have their memories refreshed
+by a short history of the marvellous things in the beginning." Then Adam
+thus:--Hereupon the anonymous author puts into the mouth of the great
+progenitor of the human race a history of the Creation, in blank verse, in
+accordance with the Mosaic and orthodox account. Concluding his revelations
+without reference to the Fall, Seth would interrogate their aged sire upon
+what followed thence, when Adam excuses himself from the painful recital by
+predicting the special advent in after times of a mind equal to that task:
+
+ "But of this Fall, this heart-felt, deep-felt lapse,
+  This Paradise thus lost, no mortal man
+  Shall sing which lives on earth.
+                          Far distant hence
+  In farther distant times, fair Liberty
+  Shall reign, queen of the Seas, and lady of
+  The Isles; nay, sovereign of the world's repose.
+  And Peace!
+          In her a mighty genius shall
+  Arise, of high ethereal mould, great in
+  Renown, sublime, superior far to praise
+  Of sublunary man--or Fame herself.
+    Though blind to all things here on earth below,
+  The heav'ns of heav'ns themselves shall he explore,
+  And soar on high with strong, with outstretched wings!
+  There sing of marvels not to be conceived,
+  Express'd, or thought by any but himself!"
+
+This curious production is avowedly from the other side of the Tweed, and I
+would ask if its paternity is known to any of your antiquarian
+correspondents there or here.
+
+The Fragment is preceded by a very remarkable Preface, containing "some
+reasons why this little piece has thus been thrown off in such a loose and
+disorderly manner;" among which figure the desire "to disperse a parcel of
+them gratis,--because they are, perhaps, worth nothing; that nobody may pay
+for his folly but himself; that, if his Fragment is damned, which it
+probably may be, he will thenceforth drop any farther correspondence with
+Adam, Noah, Abraham, &c.; and, lastly, that he may be benefited by the
+criticisms upon its faults and failings, while he himself lurks cunningly
+behind the curtain. But if, after all," says the facetious author, "this
+little northern urchin shall chance to spring forward under the influence
+of a more southern and warmer sun, the author will then endeavour to bring
+his goods to market as plump, fresh, and fair as the soil will admit."
+
+I presume, however, the public did not call for any of the farther
+instalments promised in the title.

+
+ERRATA IN PRINTED BIBLES.
+
+Mr. D'Israeli, in his _Curiosities of Literature_, has an article entitled
+"The Pearl Bibles and Six Thousand Errata," in which he gives some notable
+specimens of the blunders perpetrated in the printing of Bibles in earlier
+times. The great demand for them prompted unscrupulous persons to supply it
+without much regard to carefulness or accuracy; and, besides, printers were
+not so expert as at the present day.
+
+    "The learned Ussher," Mr. D'Israeli tells us, "one day hastening to
+    preach at Paul's Cross, entered the shop of one of the stationers, as
+    booksellers were then called, and inquiring for a Bible of the London
+    edition, when he came to look for his text, to his astonishment and his
+    horror he discovered that the verse was omitted in the Bible! This gave
+    the first occasion of complaint to the king, of the insufferable
+    negligence and incapacity of the London press; and first bred that
+    great contest which followed between the University of Cambridge and
+    the London stationers, about the right of printing Bibles."
+
+Even during the reign of Charles I., and in the time of the Commonwealth,
+the manufacture of spurious Bibles was carried on to an alarming extent.
+English Bibles were fabricated in Holland for cheapness, without any regard
+to accuracy. Twelve thousand of these (12mo.) Bibles, with notes, were
+seized by the King's printers as being contrary to the statute; and a large
+impression of these Dutch-English Bibles were burned, by order of the
+Assembly of Divines, for certain errors. The Pearl (24mo.) Bible, printed
+by Field, in 1653, contains some scandalous blunders;--for instance,
+Romans, vi. 13.: "Neither yield ye your members as instruments of
+_righteousness_ unto sin"--for _unrighteousness_. 1 Cor. vi. 9.: "Know ye
+not that {392} the unrighteous _shall inherit_ the kingdom of God?"--for
+_shall not inherit_.
+
+The printer of Miles Coverdale's Bible, which was finished in 1535, and of
+which only two perfect copies, I believe, are known to exist--one in the
+British Museum, the other in the library of the Earl of Jersey--deserves
+some commendation for his accuracy. At the end of the New Testament is the
+following solitary erratum:
+
+    "A faute escaped in pryntyng the New Testament. Upon the fourth leafe,
+    the first syde in the sixth chapter of S. Mathew, 'Seke ye first the
+    kingdome of heaven,' read, 'Seke ye first the kingdome of God.'"

+
+IMPOSSIBILITIES OF HISTORY.
+
+"That unworthy hand."
+
+I am not aware that the fact of Cranmer's holding his right hand in the
+flames till it was consumed has been questioned. Fox says:
+
+    "He stretched forth his right hand into the flames, and there held it
+    so stedfast that all the people might see it burnt to a coal before his
+    body was touched."--P. 927. ed. Milner, London, 1837, 8vo.
+
+Or, as the passage is given in the last edition,--
+
+    "And when the wood was kindled, and the fire began to burn near him, he
+    put his right hand into the flame, which he held so stedfast and
+    immovable (saving that once with the same hand he wiped his face), that
+    all men might see his hand burned before his body was touched."--_Acts
+    and Monuments_, ed. 1839, vol. viii. p. 90.
+
+Burnet is more circumstantial:
+
+    "When he came to the stake he prayed, and then undressed himself: and
+    being tied to it, as the fire was kindling, he stretched forth his
+    right hand towards the flame, never moving it, save that once he wiped
+    his face with it, till it was burnt away, which was consumed before the
+    fire reached his body. He expressed no disorder from the pain he was
+    in; sometimes saying, 'That unworthy hand;' and oft crying out, 'Lord
+    Jesus, receive my spirit.' He was soon after quite burnt."--_Hist. of
+    the Reformation_, vol. iii. p. 429., ed. 1825.
+
+Hume says:
+
+    "He stretched out his hand, and, without betraying either by his
+    countenance or motions the least sign of weakness, or even feeling, he
+    held it in the flames till it was entirely consumed."--Hume, vol. iv.
+    p. 476.
+
+It is probable that Hume believed this, for while Burnet states positively
+as a fact, though only inferentially as a miracle, that "the heart was
+found entire and unconsumed among the ashes," Hume says, "it was pretended
+that his heart," &c.
+
+I am not about to discuss the character of Cranmer: a timid man might have
+been roused under such circumstances into attempting to do what it is said
+he did. The laws of physiology and combustion show that he could not have
+gone beyond the attempt. If a furnace were so constructed, that a man might
+hold his hand in the flame without burning his body, the shock to the
+nervous system would deprive him of all command over muscular action before
+the skin could be "entirely consumed." If the hand were chained over the
+fire, the shock would produce death.
+
+In this case the fire was unconfined. Whoever has seen the effect of flame
+in the open air, must know that the vast quantity sufficient entirely to
+consume a human hand, must have destroyed the life of its owner; though,
+from a peculiar disposition of the wood, the vital parts might have been
+protected.
+
+The entire story is utterly impossible. May we, guided by the words "as the
+fire was kindling," believe that he _then_ thrust his right hand into the
+flame--a practice I believe not unusual with our martyrs, and peculiarly
+suitable to him--and class the "holding it till consumed" with the whole
+and unconsumed heart?
+
+I may observe that in the accounts of martyrdoms little investigation was
+made as to what was possible. Burnet, describing Hooper's execution, says,
+"one of his hands fell off before he died, with the other he continued to
+knock on his breast some time after." This, I have high medical authority
+for saying, could not be.

+
+UNREGISTERED PROVERBS.
+
+In Mr. Trench's charming little book on _Proverbs_, 2nd ed., p. 31., he
+remarks:
+
+    "There are not a few (proverbs), as I imagine, which, living on the
+    lips of men, have yet never found their way into books, however worthy
+    to have done so; either because the sphere in which they circulate has
+    continued always a narrow one, or that the occasions which call them
+    out are very rare, or that they, having only lately risen up, have not
+    hitherto attracted the attention of any one who cared to record them.
+    It would be well, if such as take an interest in the subject, and are
+    sufficiently well versed in the proverbial literature of their own
+    country to recognise such unregistered proverbs when they meet them,
+    would secure them from that perishing, which, so long as they remain
+    merely oral, might easily overtake them; and would make them at the
+    same time, what all _good_ proverbs ought certainly to be, the common
+    heritage of all."
+
+    "_Note._--The pages of the excellent _Notes and Queries_ would no doubt
+    be open to receive such, and in them they might be safely garnered up,"
+    &c.
+
+I trust this appeal of Mr. Trench's will be at once responded to by both
+the editor and correspondents of this periodical. With the former {393}
+must rest the responsibility of withholding from reproduction any proverbs,
+which though sent him as novelties, may be already registered in the
+recognised collections.
+
+Mr. Trench's first contribution to this _bouquet_ of the wild flowers of
+proverbial lore is the following, from Ireland:
+
+    "'_The man on the dyke always hurls well._' The looker on," says Mr.
+    Trench in explanation, "at a game of hurling, seated indolently on the
+    wall, always imagines that he could improve on the strokes of the
+    actual players, and if you will listen to him, would have played the
+    game much better than they, a proverb of sufficiently wide
+    application."--P. 32.
+
+Each proverb sent in should be accompanied with a statement of the class
+among whom, or the locality in which, it is current. The index to "N. & Q."
+should contain a reference to every proverb published in its pages, under
+the head of _Unregistered Proverbs_, or _Proverbs_ only. Correspondents
+should bear in mind the essential requisite of a proverb, _currency_. Curt,
+sharp sayings might easily be multiplied; what is wanted, however, is a
+collection of such only as have that prerequisite of admission into the
+ranks of recognised proverbs. And while contributors should not lose sight
+of "the stamp of merit," as that which renders the diffusion of proverbs
+beneficial to mankind, still they should not reject a genuine proverb for
+want of that characteristic, remembering that,--
+
+ "'Tween man and man, they weight not every stamp;
+  Though light, take pieces for the _figure's_ sake."
+
+And that the mere _form_ of a proverb often affords some indication of its
+age and climate, even where the _matter_ is spurious. I have a large MS.
+collection of English proverbs by me, from which I doubt not I shall be
+able to extract some few which have never yet been admitted into any
+published collection. Of these at some future time.

+MR. JUSTICE TALFOURD.
+
+The noble sentiments uttered by Justice Talfourd in his last moments gave a
+charm to his sudden death, and shed a hallowed beauty about the painfully
+closing scenes of this great man. I want them to have a niche in "N. & Q.,"
+and along with them a passage from his beautiful tragedy of _Ion_, which
+may be considered as a transcript of those thoughts which filled his mind
+on the very eve of quitting the high and honourable duties of his earthly
+course. It forcibly illustrates the loving soul, the kind heart, and the
+amiable character of this deeply lamented judge.
+
+After speaking of the peculiar aspect of crime in that part of the country
+where he delivered his last charge, he goes on to say:
+
+    "I cannot help myself thinking it may be in no small degree
+    attributable to that separation between class and class, which is the
+    great curse of British society, and for which we are all, more or less,
+    in our respective spheres, in some degree responsible, and which is
+    more complete in these districts than in agricultural districts, where
+    the resident gentry are enabled to shed around them the blessings
+    resulting from the exercise of benevolence, and the influence and
+    example of active kindness. I am afraid we all of us keep too much
+    aloof from those beneath us, and whom we thus encourage to look upon us
+    with suspicion and dislike. Even to our servants we think, perhaps, we
+    fulfil our duty when we perform our contract with them--when we pay
+    them their wages, and treat then with the civility consistent with our
+    habits and feelings--when we curb our temper, and use no violent
+    expressions towards them. But how painful is the thought, that there
+    are men and women growing up around us, ministering to our comforts and
+    necessities, continually inmates of our dwellings, with whose
+    affections and nature we are as much unacquainted as if they were the
+    inhabitants of some other sphere. This feeling, arising from that kind
+    of reserve peculiar to the English character, does, I think, greatly
+    tend to prevent that mingling of class with class, that reciprocation
+    of kind words and gentle affections, gracious admonitions and kind
+    inquiries, which often, more than any book-education, tend to the
+    culture of the affections of the heart, refinement and elevation of the
+    character of those to whom they are addressed. And if I were to be
+    asked what is the great want of English society--to mingle class with
+    class--I would say, in one word, the want is the want of sympathy."
+
+Act I. Sc. 2. After Clemanthe has told Ion that, forsaking all within his
+house, and risking his life with strangers, he can do but little for their
+aid, Ion replies:
+
+                     "It is little:
+  But in these sharp extremities of fortune,
+  The blessings which the weak and poor can scatter
+  Have their own season. 'Tis a little thing
+  To give a cup of water; yet its draught
+  Of cool refreshment, drain'd by fever'd lips,
+  May give a shock of pleasure to the frame
+  More exquisite than when nectarean juice
+  Renews the life of joy in happiest hours.
+  It is a little thing to speak a phrase
+  Of common comfort, which, by daily use,
+  Has almost lost its sense; yet, on the ear
+  Of him who thought to die unmourn'd, 'twill fall
+  Like choicest music; fill the glazing eye
+  With gentle tears; relax the knotted hand
+  To know the bonds of fellowship again;
+  And shed on the departing soul a sense,
+  More precious than the benison of friends
+  About the honour'd death-bed of the rich,
+  {394}
+  To him who else were lonely, that another
+  Of the great family is near and feels."
+
+The analogy is as beautiful as it is true.

+Before this talented judge was advanced to the bench, he amused himself and
+instructed his clients by occasional _metrical_ notes, of which the annexed
+is a specimen. To make it intelligible to those whom it may _not_ concern,
+I must add an explanation by the attorney in the suit, who has obligingly
+placed the learned serjeant's notes at my disposal. This gentleman says:
+"These notes are in the margin of a brief held by the serjeant as leading
+counsel in an action of ejectment brought against a person named Rock, in
+1842. In converting into rhyme the evidence of the witness Hopkins, as set
+out in the brief, he has adhered strictly to the statements, whilst he has
+at the same time seized the prominent points of the testimony as supporting
+the case."
+
+  John Hopkins will identify the spot,
+  Unless his early sports are quite forgot,
+  And from his youngest recollection show
+  The house fell down some forty years ago.
+  And then--a case of adverse claim to meet,
+  Show how the land lay open to the street;
+  And there the children held their harmless rambles,
+  Till Robert Woolwich built his odious shambles,
+  And never did the playmates fear a shock,
+  From anything so hateful as a _Rock_.
+
+Perhaps the above may elicit from other quarters similar contributions;
+indeed, any memorial of the friend of Charles Lamb must be precious to the
+Muse.

+THE SCREW PROPELLER.
+
+In 1781, when the steam engine, only recently improved by Watt, was merely
+applied to the more obvious purposes of mine drainage and the like, Darwin,
+in his _Botanic Garden_, wrote--
+
+ "Soon shall thy arm, unconquer'd Steam! afar
+  Drag the slow barge, or drive the rapid car."
+
+And in an appended note prophecies that the new agent might "in time be
+applied to the rowing of barges, and the moving of carriages along the
+road." The ingenious chronicler of the "loves of the plants," however, was
+in no doubt, when he wrote, aware of the experiments of D'Auxiron, Perier,
+and De Jouffroy; those prosecuted at Dalswinton and in America were some
+years later, about 1787-8 I think. But in another and less widely known
+poem by the same author, the _Temple of Nature_, published in 1802, there
+occurs a very complete anticipation of one of the most important
+applications of science to navigation, which may prove as novel and
+striking to some of your readers as it did to me. It is, indeed, a
+remarkable instance of scientific prevision. In a note to line 373, canto
+ii. of the poem, the author sets out with, "The progressive motion of fish
+beneath the water is produced principally by the undulation of their
+tails;" and after giving the _rationale_ of the process, he goes on to say
+that "this power seems to be better adapted to push forward a body in the
+water than the oars of boats;" concluding with the query, "Might not some
+machinery resembling the tails of fish be placed behind a boat so as to be
+moved with greater effect than common oars, by the force of wind or steam?"

+ANCIENT CHATTEL-PROPERTY IN IRELAND.
+
+The Memoranda Roll of the Exchequer, 4 & 5 Edward II., membrane 14.,

+
+Upon the attainder of William Fytzhenry of Dublin, "Capytayn," in the reign
+of Edward VI., it was found by inquisition that he had "unum torquem aureum
+ponder' septem uncias d[=i]," put in pledge for 20l., and worth 22l.
+sterling. In this reign "quinque vasa vocat' fyrkyns de prunis" each worth
+6s. 8d.; a firkin of wine, 5s., "a fyrkyn de aceto," 6s. 8d.; "quinque
+tycks", worth 11s. 8d. each; and "duas duodenas cultellorum," worth 4s.,
+{395} were brought to Dublin from St. Mallow in Brittany. In this reign
+also 200 "grossos arbores," near Drogheda, were valued at 16l.; 18 "porcos"
+were worth 40s.; 3 "modios frumenti" worth 20s.; and 5 "lagenas butteri,"
+20s. During this reign a sum of 300l. was paid out of the Treasury to Sir
+William Seyntloo, for the purpose of fortifying, &c. the Castle of Dyngham,
+called "The Governor of Offayley," of which sum he paid to Matthew Lynete,
+the Clerk of the Ordnance,--
+
+    For the hire of 4 carts from Dublin to the forte, 28th December, 71s.
+    1-1/2d. ster.
+
+    3 other carts from Dublin to the sayd forte, 27th March, 2 Edw. VI.,

+    April, 2 Edw. VI., for the hire of 4 cartes by the space of 6 dayes,
+    53s. 4d.
+
+In the 6 Edward VI. the goods of Thomas Rothe of Kilkenny, merchant, which
+were seized by a searcher at Waterford, consisted of "30 pecias auri vocat'

+
+In the same year the property of Andrew Tyrrell, a merchant of Athboy,
+consisted of--

+BISHOP ATTERBURY.
+
+I have observed in some former Numbers of "N. & Q.," that an interest has
+been manifested in regard to the writings, and especially to the letters,
+of this prelate. It may therefore be interesting to your readers to be
+informed, that an original painting, and perhaps the only one, of the
+Bishop, is preserved at Trelawny House in Cornwall; and from its close
+resemblance to the engraved portrait which is found in his works, I have no
+doubt it is that from which that likeness was taken. There are also several
+letters in the handwriting of Bishop Atterbury among the documents
+preserved in the collection at that ancient mansion. That this portrait and
+the letters should be preserved at Trelawny, is explained by the fact, that
+before his elevation to the episcopal bench, Dr. Atterbury was chaplain to
+Bishop Trelawny.

+    Confusus subito pallor in ore sedet.
+  O pudor! O virtus! partes quam dignus utrasque
+    Sustinuit, vultu dispare, laude pari."
+
+I found these lines written on the back of an odd volume of Atterbury's
+_Sermons_. Most likely they have already appeared in print.

+
+"_Milton Blind._"--A little poem bearing this title, and commencing,--
+
+ "Though I am old and blind,"
+
+is said to have been included in an edition of the poet's works recently
+published at Oxford. It was written by Miss Lloyd, a lady of this city, a
+short time ago.

+
+_Hydropathy._--For a long time, I believe in common with many others, I
+have imagined that the water cure is of late origin, and that we are
+indebted for it to Germany, to which we look for all novel quackeries (good
+and bad) in medicine and theology. This belief was put to flight a short
+time ago by a pamphlet which I discovered among others rare and curious. It
+is entitled _Curiosities of Common Water, or the Advantages thereof in
+preventing and curing many Distempers_. The price of the pamphlet was one
+shilling, and the author rejoices in the name of John Smith. After his name
+follows a motto, the doctrine of which it {396} is the duty of all licensed
+to kill according to law strenuously to protest against both by argument
+and practice:
+
+ "That's the best physick which doth cure our ills
+  Without the charge of pothecaries pills."

+
+_Cassie._--MR. M. A. LOWER (a correspondent of "N. & Q."), in his _Essays
+on English Surnames_ (see vol. ii. p. 63.), quotes from a brochure on
+Scottish family names. He seems, from a footnote, to be in difficulty about
+the word _cassie._ May I suggest to him that it is a corruption of
+"causeway?"
+
+The "causeway" is, in Scotch towns, an usual name for a particular street;
+and of a man's surname, his place of residence is a most common source of
+derivation.

+_The Duke of Wellington._--Lord de Grey, in his _Characteristics of the
+Duke of Wellington_, pp. 171, 172., gives the following extract from the
+despatches published by Colonel Gurwood, and refers to vol. viii. p. 292.
+
+    "It would undoubtedly be better if _language_ of this description were
+    never used, and if officers placed as you were could correct errors and
+    neglect in _language, which should not hurt the feelings_ of the person
+    addressed, and without vehemence."
+
+Compare this passage with the following advice which Don Quixote gives to
+Sancho Panza before he sets off to take possession of his government:
+
+    "Al che has de castigar con obras, no trates mal con palabras, pues le
+    basta al desdichado la pena del suplicio sin la anadidura de las malas
+    rezones."--Part II. ch. xlii.

+See translation of _Don Quixote_ by Jarvis, vol. iv. b. III. ch. x. p.

+
+The very depreciatory terms in which the Emperor Napoleon used to speak of
+the Duke of Wellington as a general is well known. The following extract
+from Forsyth's _Napoleon at St. Helena and Sir Hudson Lowe_, appears to me
+worthy of being brought under the notice of the readers of "N. & Q.:"
+
+    "After the governor had left the house (upon the death of Napoleon he
+    had gone to the house of the deceased with Major Gorrequer to make an
+    inventory of and seal up his papers), Count Montholon called back Major
+    Gorrequer to ask him a question, and he mentioned that he had been
+    searching for a paper dictated to him by Napoleon a long time
+    previously, and which he was sorry he could not find, as it was a
+    _eulogium on the Duke of Wellington_, in which Napoleon had spoken in
+    the highest terms of praise of the military conduct of the Duke."--See
+    vol. iii. p. 299.

+[Footnote 1: Jarvis translates the passage in _Don Quixote_,--"Him you are
+to punish with deeds, do no evil; intreat with words, for the pain of the
+punishment is enough for the wretch to bear, without the addition of
+ill-language."]
+
+_Romford Jury._--The following entry appears on the court register of the
+Romford Petty Sessions (in Havering Liberty) for the year 1730, relating to
+the trial of two men charged with an assault on Andrew Palmer. As a curious
+illustration of the manner in which justice was administered in country
+parts in "the good old times," I think it may be interesting to the readers
+of "N. & Q."
+
+    "The jury could not for several hours agree on their verdict, seven
+    being inclinable to find the defendants guilty, and the others not
+    guilty. It was therefore proposed by the foreman to put twelve
+    shillings in a hat, and hustle most heads or tails, whether guilty or
+    not guilty. The defendants, therefore, were acquitted, the chance
+    happening in favour of not guilty."

+
+_Edward Law (Lord Ellenborough), Chief Justice._--J. M.'s quotation of the
+song in the _Supplement to the Court of Sessions Garland_ (Vol. ix., p.
+221.), reminds me of the lines on Mr. Law's being made Chief Justice:
+
+ "What signifies now, quirk, quibble, or flaw,
+  Since _Law_ is made _Justice_, seek justice from _Law_."

+
+_Chamisso._--Chamisso, in his poem of "The Three Sisters," who, crushed
+with misery, contended that each had the hardest lot, has this fine passage
+by the last speaker:
+
+     "In one brief sentence all my bitter cause
+      Of sorrow dwells--thou arbiter! oh, pause
+        Ere yet thy final judgment thou assign,
+      And learn my better right--too clearly proved.
+      Four words comprise it--I was never loved:
+        The palm of grief thou wilt allow is mine."
+
+    "He knew humanity--there can be no grief like that grief. Death had
+    bereaved one sister of her lover--the second mourned over her fallen
+    idol's shame--the third exultingly says,--
+
+     'Have they not lived and loved?'"
+
+The above is written in a beautiful Italian female hand on the fly-leaf-of
+the _Basia_, 1775.

+_Dates of Maps._--It is very much to be wished that map-makers would always
+affix to their maps the date of their execution; the want of this in the
+maps of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge has often been an
+annoyance to me, for it frequently happens that one or both of two maps
+including the same district are without date, {397} and when they differ in
+some of the minor details, it requires some time and trouble to find, from
+other sources, which is the most modern, and therefore likely to be the
+most accurate.

+
+_Walton._--The following cotemporary notice of the decease and character of
+honest Isaac's son, is from a MS. Diary of the Rev. John Lewis, Rector of
+Chalfield and Curate of Tilbury:
+
+    "1719, Dec. 29. Mr. Canon Walton of Polshott died at Salisbury; he was
+    one of the members of the clergy club that meets at Melksham, and a
+    very pious, sober, learned, inoffensive, charitable, good man."
+

+
+_Whittington's Stone on Highgate Hill._--It is well that there is a "N. &
+Q." to record the removal and disappearance of noted objects and relics of
+antiquity, as one after another disappears before the destroying hand of
+Time, and more ruthless and relentless spirit of enterprise. I have to ask
+you on the present occasion to record the removal of Whittington's stone on
+Highgate Hill. I discovered it as I strolled up the hill a few days since.
+I was informed that it was removed about a fortnight since, and a
+public-house is now being built where it stood.
+
+TEE BEE.
+
+_Turkey and France._--The following fact, taken from the foreign
+correspondence of _The Times_, may suitably seek perpetuity in a corner of
+"N. & Q."
+
+    "I wish to mention a curious fact connected with the port of Toulon,
+    and with the long existing relations between France and Turkey, and
+    which I have not seen mentioned, although it is recorded in the
+    municipal archives of this town. In the year 1543, the sultan, Selim
+    II., at the request of the King of France, sent a large army and fleet
+    to his assistance, under the command of the celebrated Turkish admiral
+    Barbarossa, who, according to the record, was the grandson of a French
+    renegade. This army and fleet occupied the town and port of Toulon at
+    the express wish of Francis I., from the end of September 1543, to the
+    end of March 1544. And on this day, the last of March 1854, a French
+    army and fleet has sailed from the same port of Toulon to succour the
+    descendant of the Sultan Selim in his distress. What a remarkable
+    example of the rise and fall of empires!"
+
+It will not invalidate the force of the foregoing extract to state, that
+Selim II. did not become sultan until 1566, and that it must have been his
+father Suleyman (whom he succeeded) who came to the rescue of France in
+1543. The same Turkish fleet was afterwards nearly annihilated by the
+Venetians in 1571, at the battle of Lepanto.

+A FEMALE AIDE-MAJOR.
+
+The following is an extract from the letter of the French general, Custine,
+to the National Convention, June 14, 1793:
+
+    "My morality is attacked; it is found out that I have a _woman_ for my
+    aide-de-camp. Without pretending to be a Joseph, I know too well how to
+    respect myself, and the laws of public decency, ever to render myself
+    guilty of such an absurdity. I found in the army a woman under the
+    uniform of a volunteer bombardier, who, in fulfilling that duty at the
+    siege of Liege, had received a musket-ball in the leg. She presented
+    herself to the National Convention, desired to continue her military
+    service, and was admitted to the honours of the sitting. She was
+    afterwards sent by you, Representatives, to the Minister of War, who
+    gave her the rank of aide-major to the army. On my arrival here, the
+    representatives of the people, commissioners with this army, had
+    dismissed her. Her grief was extreme; and the phrenzy of her
+    imagination, and her love for glory, would have carried her to the last
+    extremity. I solicited the representatives of the people to leave her
+    that rank which her merit and wounds had procured her; and they
+    consented to it. This is the truth. She is not my aide-de-camp, but
+    _attached to the staff as aide-major_. Since that time I have never had
+    any public or private conversation with her."--From the _Political
+    State of Europe_, 1793, p. 164.

+terrified to look him in the face, and fled from his presence." So says our
+author; but he does not give the dimensions of Kieten. May not such a real
+giant, in the thirteenth century, have laid the foundation of the fabulous
+stories of giants that have for so many years been the favourite romances
+of the nursery? Kieten appears to be the type of the giants of our modern

+latter is borne by the 36th regiment of militia, they being the First
+Warwickshire. This latter badge is also borne by the retainers of the Earls
+of Warwick and Leicester; which latter county would seem to lay as much
+claim to the bear and ragged staff as Warwick does.
+
+The county cannot well have both, or either; this makes me think that the

+"_Gossip._"--This word, in its obsolete sense, according no doubt to its
+Saxon origin, means a sponsor, one who answers for a child in baptism, a
+godfather. Its modern acceptation all know to be widely different. Can any
+of your correspondents quote a passage or two from old English authors,
+wherein its obsolete sense is preserved?
+
+N. L. J.
+
+    [The word occurs in Chaucer, _The Wyf of Bathes Prologue_, v. 5825.:
+
+     "And if I have a _gossib_, or a friend,
+      (Withouten gilt) thou chidest as a frend,
+      If that I walke or play into his hous."
+
+    And in Spenser, _Faerie Queene_, b. i. c. 12.:
+
+     "One mother, when as her foole-hardy child
+        Did come too neare, and with his talons play,
+      Halfe dead through feare, her little babe reuil'd,
+        And to her _gossips_ gan in counsell say."
+
+    Master Richard Verstegan is more to the point:
+
+    "Our Christian ancestors, understanding a spiritual affinity to grow
+    between the parents and such as undertooke for the child at baptisme,
+    called each other by the name of _Godsib_, which is as much as to say,
+    that they were _sib_ together, that is, _of kin_ together through God.
+    And the child, in like manner, called such his God-fathers, or
+    God-mothers."--_Restitution of Decayed Intelligence_, ch. vii.

+A quotation or two from that delightful old _gossip_, Mr. Pepys, will show

+_Humphry Repton._--To snatch from utter oblivion the once highly reputed
+Humphry, the king of landscape gardeners, to whom many of our baronial
+parks owe much of their picturesque beauty, and who, by the side of Sir
+Joseph Paxton, would now most duly have taken knightful station in these
+go-ahead days, I ask, in what publication was it, that in 1780, or
+thereabouts, being an indefatigable attendant at all exhibitions and sales
+of art, he, the said Humphry, was accustomed (as well able he was) to
+enlighten the public upon what was passing in matters of art now nearly
+three quarters of a century ago? Was it the _Bee_? Again, did he not, at
+his death, leave two large volumes for publication, entitled _Recollections
+of my Past Life_? Where are these?
+
+INQUEST.
+
+    [The MS. collection of the late Humphry Repton, containing interesting
+    details of his public and private life, has been used by Mr. Loudon in
+    his biographical notice of Repton prefixed to the last edition of _The
+    Landscape Gardening_, 8vo., 1840. Mr. Loudon states that 'these papers
+    were left as a valued memorial for his children: it may be imagined,
+    therefore, that they contain details of a private nature, which would
+    be found devoid of interest to the world. Mr. Repton, indeed, possessed
+    a mind as keenly alive to the ludicrous, as it was open to all that was
+    excellent, in the variety of characters with whom his extensive
+    professional connexions brought him acquainted; and he did not fail to
+    observe and note down many curious circumstances and traits of
+    character, in themselves highly amusing, but, for obvious reasons,
+    unfit subjects for publication. Not one taint of satire or ill-nature,
+    however, ever sullied the wit which flowed spontaneously from a mind
+    sportive sometimes even to exuberance." His artistic critiques will be
+    found in the following works: _The Bee_: or, a Critique on the
+    Exhibition of Paintings at Somerset House, 1788, 8vo. _Variety_: a
+    Collection of Essays, 1788, 12mo. _The Bee_: a Critique on the
+    Shakspeare Gallery, 1789, 8vo. _Odd Whims_: being a republication of
+    some papers in Variety, with a Comedy and other Poems, 2 vols. 12mo.,
+    1804.]
+
+"_Oriel._"--I should be glad if any of your correspondents could inform me
+of the origin of the term _oriel_, as applied to a window? It is not, I
+believe, necessarily to the East.
+
+T. L. N.

+
+    [_Oriol_, or _Oriel_, is a portico or court; also a small room near the
+    hall in monasteries, where particular persons dined. (Blount's
+    _Glossog._) Du Cange says, "_Oriolum_, porticus, atrium;" and quotes
+    Matthew Paris for it. Supposed by some to be a diminutive from _area_
+    or _areola_. "In modern writings," says Nares, "we meet with mention of
+    _Oriel_ windows. I doubt the propriety of the expression; but, if
+    right, they must mean those windows that project like a porch, or small
+    room. At St. Albans was an _oriel_, or apartment for persons not so
+    sick as to retire to the infirmary. (Fosbroke's _Brit. Monachism_, vol.
+    ii. p. 160.) I may be wrong in my notion of _oriel_ window, but I have
+    not met with ancient authority for that expression. Cowel conjectured
+    that _Oriel_ College, in Oxford, took its name from some such room or
+    portico. There is a remarkable portico, in the farther side of the
+    first quadrangle, but not old enough to have given the name. It might,
+    however, be only the successor of one more ancient, and more exactly an
+    _oriel_." For articles on the disputed derivation of this term, which
+    seems involved in obscurity, see Parker's _Glossary of Architecture_; a
+    curious paper by Mr. Hamper, in _Archaeologia_, vol. xxiii.; and
+    _Gentleman's Magazine_ for Nov. 1823, p. 424., and March, 1824, p.
+    229.]
+
+"_Orchard._"--Professor Martyn, in his Notes on Virgil's _Georgics_, seems
+to be of opinion that the English word "orchard" is derived from the Greek
+[Greek: orchatos], which Homer uses to express the garden of Alcinous; and
+he observes that Milton writes it _orchat_, thereby corroborating this
+impression. Is the word spelt according to Milton's form by any other
+writers?
+
+N. L. J.
+
+    [It is spelt _orchat_ by J. Philips, _Cider_, book i.:
+
+                  ----"Else false hopes
+      He cherishes, nor will his fruit expect
+      Th' autumnal season, but in summer's pride,

+
+"_Peckwater._"--Why is the quadrangle at Christ Church, in Oxford, called
+"Peckwater?"
+
+N. L. J.
+
+    [The Peckwater Quadrangle derives its name from an ancient hostle, or

+    the property of Ralph, the son of Richard Peckwater, who gave it to St.
+    Frideswide's Priory, 30th Henry III.; and about the middle of the reign
+    of Henry VIII., another inn, called Vine Hall, was added to it; which,
+    with other buildings, were reduced into a quadrangle in the time of
+    Dean Duppa and Dr. Samuel Fell. The two inns were afterwards known by
+    the name of Vine Hall, or Peckwater's Inn; and by this name were given
+    to Christ Church, in 1547, by Henry VIII.]

+Was it buried at Leicester?

+Athenaeum.
+
+    [After the battle of Bosworth Field, the body of Richard III. was
+    stript, laid across a horse behind a pursuivant-at-arms, and conducted
+    to Leicester, where, after it had been exposed for two days, it was
+    buried with little ceremony in the church of the Grey Friars. In
+    Burton's MS. of the History of Leicester, we read that, "within the
+    town was a house of Franciscan or Grey Friars, built by Simon Montfort,
+    Earl of {401} Leicester, whither (after Bosworth Field) the dead body
+    of Richard III., naked, trussed behind a pursuivant-at-arms, all dashed
+    with mire and blood, was there brought and homely buried; where
+    afterward King Henry VII. (out of royal disposition) erected for him a
+    fair alabaster monument, with his picture cut out, and made
+    thereon."--Quoted in Nichols's _Leicestershire_, vol. i. p. 357.: see
+    also pp. 298. 381.]
+
+_Binding of old Books._--I shall feel obliged to any of your readers who
+will tell me how to polish up the covers of old books when the leather has
+got dry and cracked. Bookbinders use some composition made of glair, or
+white of egg, which produces a very glossy appearance. How is it made and
+used? and how do they polish the leather afterwards? Is there any little
+work on book-binding?
+
+CPL.
+
+    [Take white of an egg, break it with a fork, and, having first cleaned
+    the leather with dry flannel, apply the egg with a soft sponge. Where
+    the leather is rubbed or decayed, rub a little paste with the finger
+    into the parts affected, to fill up the broken grain, otherwise the
+    glair would sink in and turn it black. To produce a polished surface, a
+    hot iron must be rubbed over the leather. The following is, however, an
+    easier, if not a better, method. Purchase some "bookbinders' varnish,"
+    which may be had at any colour shop; clean the leather well, as before;
+    if necessary, use a little water in doing so, but rub quite dry with a
+    flannel before varnishing; apply your varnish with wool, lint, or a
+    very soft sponge, and place to dry.]
+
+_Vessel of Paper._--When I was at school in the north of Ireland, not very
+many years ago, a piece of paper, about the octavo size, used for writing
+"exercises," was commonly known amongst us as a vessel of paper. Can any of
+your correspondents tell me the origin of the phrase; and whether it is in
+use in other localities?
+
+ABHBA.
+
+    [Lemon, in his English _Etymology_, has the following remarks on this
+    phrase:--"_Vessel of Paper_: The etymology of this word does not at
+    first sight appear very evident; but a derivation has been lately
+    suggested to me, which seems to carry some probability with it; viz.
+    that _a vessel of paper_ may have derived its appellation from
+    _fasciculus_, or _fasciola_; quasi _vassiola_; a vessel, or small slip
+    of paper; a little winding band, or swathing cloth; a garter; a
+    _fascia_, a small narrow binding. The root is undoubtedly _fascis_, a
+    bundle, or anything tied up; also, the fillet with which it is bound."]

+KING JAMES'S IRISH ARMY LIST, 1689.
+
+(Vol. ix., pp. 30, 31.)
+
+My collections are arranged for illustrating, in the manner alluded to in
+the above notice, upwards of four hundred families. In Tyrconnel's _Horse_,
+I find a Dominick _Sheldon_, Lieut.-Colonel. His name appears in the
+"Establishment" of 1687-8 for a pension of 200l. Early in the campaign, he
+was actively opposed to the revolutionary party in Down and Antrim; and was
+afterwards joined in an unsuccessful negotiation for the surrender of
+Derry. At the battle of the Boyne he commanded the cavalry, and in a
+gallant charge nearly retrieved the day, but had two horses shot under him.
+When Tyrconnel left Ireland for France, to aid the cause of the Stuarts, he
+selected this colonel as one of the directory, who were to advise the young
+Duke of Berwick, to whom Tyrconnel had committed the command of the Irish
+army, and who was afterwards so distinguished in the wars of the brigades
+abroad. After the capitulation of Limerick in 1691, Sarsfield, then the
+beloved commander of the last adherents of the cause of the royal exile,
+intrusted to Colonel Sheldon the care of embarking all who preferred a
+foreign land to the new Government; and King James (for, in justice to my
+subject, I must still style him _King_) especially thanked him for his
+performance of that duty. When his own regiment was brigaded in France, it
+was called, _par excellence_, "the King's Regiment;" and Dominick Sheldon,
+"an Englishman," was gazetted its Colonel. The successes of his gallant
+band are recorded, in 1702, at the confluence of the Mincio and the Po; in
+1703, against the Imperialists under Visconti, when he was wounded; in the
+army of the Rhine, and at the battle of Spire within the same year, &c. He
+appears, throughout his career, an individual of whom his descendants
+should be proud; but I cannot discover the house of this _Englishman_.
+
+In the Outlawries of 1691, he is described on one as "of the city of
+Dublin," on another, as "of Pennyburn Mill, co. Derry." No other person of
+his name appears in my whole _Army List_; although the "Diary" preserved in
+the _Harleian Miscellany_ (old edit., vol. vii. p. 482.) erroneously
+suggests a subaltern of his name. In the titular Court of St. Germains, two
+of the name of Sheldon were of the Board of Green Cloth. Dr. Gilbert
+Sheldon was Archbishop of Canterbury in the middle of the seventeenth
+century; and the Sheldons are shown by Burke to be still an existing family
+at Brailes House in Warwickshire, previously in Oxfordshire, and _semble_
+in Staffordshire. I have made application on the subject to Mr. Sheldon of
+Brailes House, the more confidently as the Christian name of "Ralph" is
+frequent in the pedigree of that family, and Colonel Dominick Sheldon had a
+brother Ralph; but Mr. Sheldon could not satisfy me.
+
+One of the adventurers or soldiers in Cromwell's time, in Ireland, was a
+William Sheldon; who, on the Restoration, in the royal policy of that day,
+obtained a patent for the lands in Tipperary, which {402} the usurping
+powers had allotted for him by certificate. Could Colonel Dominick have
+been his relative?
+
+I pray information on this subject, and any others connected with the _Army
+List_, with any documentary assistance which, or the inspection of which,
+the correspondents of "N. & Q." may afford me; and such services will be
+thankfully acknowledged. If I were aided with such by them, and by the old
+families of Ireland, the work should be a gem.

+
+ "Bachelors of every station,

+
+The ballad is an account of "love at first sight," inspired in the breast

+OATHS.
+
+(Vol. viii., no. 364, 605.; Vol. ix., p. 45.)
+
+I am extremely obliged to your several correspondents who have replied to
+my Query.
+
+I now send you "a remarkable case," which occurred in 1657, and throws
+considerable light upon the subject.
+
+Dr. Owen, Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, being a witness for the plaintiff in a
+cause, refused to be sworn in _the usual manner, by laying his right hand
+upon the book, and by kissing it afterwards_; but he caused the book to be
+held open before him, and he raised his right hand; whereupon the jury
+prayed the direction of the Court whether they ought to weigh such evidence
+as strongly as the evidence of another witness. Glyn, Chief Justice,
+answered them, that in his opinion he had taken {403} as strong an oath as
+any other of the witnesses; but he added that, if he himself were to be
+sworn, he would lay his right hand upon the book itself (_il voilt deponer
+sa maine dexter sur le liver mesme_). Colt _v._ Dutton, 2 Siderfin's _R._
+6.
+
+This case shows that the usual practice at the time it was decided was, not
+to take the book in the hand, but to lay the hand upon it. Now, if a person
+laid his hand upon a book, which rested on anything else, he most probably
+would lay his fingers upon it, and, if he afterwards kissed it, would raise
+it with his fingers at the top, and his thumb under the book; and possibly
+this may account for the practice I mentioned of the Welsh witnesses,
+which, like many other usages, may have been once universally prevalent,
+but now have generally ceased.
+
+With regard to kissing the book, so far from assuming that it was
+essential, I stated that "in none of these instances does kissing the book
+appear to be essential." Indeed, as, "upon the principles of the common
+law, there is no particular form essential to an oath to be taken by a
+witness; but as the purpose of it is to bind his conscience, every man of
+every religion should be bound by that form which he himself thinks will
+bind his own conscience most" (per Lord Mansfield, Chief Justice, Atcheson
+_v._ Everitt, Cowper's _R._ 389.), the form of the oath will vary according
+to the particular opinion of the witness.
+
+Lord Mansfield, in the case just mentioned, referred to the case in
+Siderfin, and stated that "the Christian oath was settled in very ancient
+times;" and it may, perhaps, be inferred that he meant that it was so
+settled in the form there mentioned; but, as he inaccurately translates the
+words I have given thus, "If I were sworn, _I would kiss the book_," it may
+be doubtful whether he did not consider kissing the book as a part of the
+form of the oath so settled.
+
+I cannot assent to the opinion of Paley, that the term _corporal_, as
+applied to oath, was derived from the corporale--the square piece of linen
+on which the chalice and host were placed. The term doubtless was adopted,
+in order to distinguish some oaths from others; and it would be very
+strange if it had become the invariable practice to apply it to all that
+large class of oaths, in every civil and criminal tribunal, to which it did
+not apply; and when it is remembered that in indictments (which have ever
+been construed with the strictest regard to the truth of the statements
+contained in them) this term has always been used where the book has been
+touched, and where the use of the term, if incorrect, would inevitably have
+led to an acquittal, no one I think can doubt that Paley is in error.
+
+In addition to the authorities I before referred to, I may mention that
+Puffendorff clearly uses the term in the sense I attributed to it; and so
+does Mr. Barbeyrac, in his note to "corporal oath," as used by Puffendorff,
+where he says: "Juramentum corporale, or, as it is called in the code,
+juramentum _corporaliter_ praestitum;" and then refers to a rescript of
+Alexander, where the terms used are "jurejurando _corporaliter_ praestito."
+(Puffendorff, _Law of Nature and Nations_, lib. iv. ss. 11. and 16., pp.
+345. and 350.: London, 1729.) And it seems very probable that the term came
+to us from the Romans; and as it appears from the books, referred to in the
+notes to s. 16., that there were some instances in which an oath had been
+taken by proxy, it may, perhaps, be that the term _corporal_ was originally
+used to distinguish such oaths as were taken by the party himself from such
+as were taken by proxy.
+
+The word corporale plainly is the "_corporale_ Linteum," on which the
+sacred elements were placed, and by which they were covered; and no doubt
+were so used, because it covered or touched what was considered to be the
+very body of our blessed Lord. In fact, the term is the same, whether it be
+applied to oath or cloth; and when used with oath, it is used in the same
+sense as our immortal bard uses it in "corporal suffering" and "corporal
+toil."
+
+S. G. C.
+
+As the various forms in which oaths have been administered and taken is a
+question not altogether devoid of interest, I would wish to add a few words
+to what I have already written upon this subject. The earliest notice of
+this ceremony is probably that which is to be found in Genesis xxiv. 2, 3.:
+
+    "And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over
+    all that he had. Put, I pray thee, _thy hand under my thigh_; And I
+    will make thee swear," &c.
+
+That at a very early period the soldier swore by his sword, is shown by the
+Anglo-Norman poem on the conquest of Ireland by Henry II., published by
+Thomas Wright, Esq.: London, 1837, p. 101.:
+
+ "Morice par sa espe ad jure,
+  N' i ad vassal si ose."
+
+In a charter of the thirteenth century, made by one Hugh de Sarnefelde to
+the Abbey of Thomascourt in Dublin, of a certain annuity, we find the
+passage:
+
+    "Et sciendum quod jam dictus Adam de Sarnefelde _affidavit in manu_
+    Magistri Roberti de Bedeford pro se et heredibus suis quod fideliter et
+    absque omni fallacia persolvent, etc. redditum prenominatum."
+
+And such clauses are probably of frequent occurrence in ancient charters.
+The expression "affidavit in manu" may be perhaps explained by referring to
+the mode in which the oath of homage was accustomed to be taken. This form,
+as it was of old time observed in England, is, I presume, {404} fully
+described in other publications; but as many of the most valuable of the
+ancient public records of Ireland have been, and are still, in a sadly
+neglected state, it is not probable that the following description of the
+manner in which certain of the Irish chieftains in the time of Richard II.
+performed their homage to Thomas Earl of Nottingham, his deputy, has been
+hitherto printed:
+
+    "Gerraldus O'Bryn predictus zonam, glaudium et capitium ipsius a se
+    amovens, et genibus flexis ad pedes dicti domini comitis procedit,
+    ambas manus suas palmis [adgremium] junctis erigens, et inter manus
+    dicti domini comitis crectas tenens, protulit hec verba in lingua
+    hibernicana," &c.--_Inquisition deposited in the Exchequer Record

+REMUNERATION OF AUTHORS.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 81.)
+
+Some time ago I suggested, in the columns of "N. & Q.," a collection which
+might prove interesting, of the remuneration received by authors for their
+works, sending my first instalment thereof. A correspondent (W. R.) has
+since contributed to the stock; and I now beg to add a few more cases which
+have lately occurred to me. In the instances of plays, &c., I have confined
+myself to the sums paid for the copyright; any remuneration accruing to the
+author from the performance, a share of the profit, benefit, &c. &c. being
+too diffuse to bring into a tabular form; and, in the case of works
+published while that servile system was in vogue, I have not attempted to
+record the amounts paid for dedications by the inflated "patrons," nor even
+those raised by subscription, except in one or two cases, where such was
+(which was rarely the case) a genuine transaction:

+OCCASIONAL FORMS OF PRAYER.
+
+(Vol. viii., p. 535.)
+
+The list of Occasional Forms of Prayer, recently contributed to your pages
+by the REV. THOMAS LATHBURY, contained no less than forty-eight items. All
+the forms which he enumerates, with one exception, are earlier than the
+year 1700. Using the same limitation of date, I send you herewith a farther
+list of such occasional forms: all these are to be found in the British
+Museum, and the press-marks by which they are designated in the catalogue
+are here added. The present list comprises fifty-one items, all of them, I
+think, different from those which have been already mentioned. Unless
+otherwise stated, the copies of the forms here referred to are printed at
+London, and they are for the most part in black-letter, without pagination.

+
+It would occupy more space than "N. & Q." can afford to complete the list
+up to the present time. In the British Museum Catalogue alone, between the
+years 1700 and 1800, there are about 120 Forms of Prayer; and, between 1800
+and 1850, about 113 more. Let me, before leaving the subject, draw the
+attention of your readers to the following extract from Straker's (Adelaide
+Street, West Strand) _Catalogue of Books_, printed in 1853, pp. 419.:
+
+    Article "1862. COMMON PRAYER. Forms of Prayer, an extensive collection
+    of, issued by authority, on public occasions; such as War and Peace,
+    Plague and Pestilence, Earthquakes, Treason and Rebellion, Accession of
+    Kings, Birth of Princes, &c. &c., from A.D. 1550 to A.D. 1847,
+    consisting of 45 in manuscript and 181 printed, together 226; many of
+    which are of the greatest scarcity, with a detailed catalogue of the
+    collection, 8l. 8s. 1550-1840 [_sic_].
+
+        "The late J. W. Niblock, D.D., F.S.A., was actively engaged for
+        upwards of _thirty years_, (with {406} great trouble and expense)
+        in forming this exceedingly interesting and valuable collection for
+        his projected work, to be entitled 'FORMAE PRECUM, or National
+        State Prayers, issued by Authority, on Fast and Thanksgiving Days,
+        and other public Occasions, from the Reformation to the present
+        Time,' those in manuscript are copied with great care from the
+        originals in public libraries and private collections."
+
+This important collection may possibly be unknown to some of your readers
+who take an interest in matters liturgical.

+PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.
+
+_Photographic Query._--Given the diameter and focal length of a simple
+achromatic lens; at what distance from it must a diaphragm of given
+diameter be placed to give the best possible image?
+
+O.
+
+_Improvement in Collodion._--As there are many photographers who are not
+members of the Photographic Society, and who do not see the journal
+published by that body, a statement of what I think will be found a very
+material improvement in the manufacture of collodion may not be
+unacceptable to the readers of "N. & Q." To five drachms of pure _washed_
+ether, add one drachm alcohol 60deg over proof, and dissolve therein
+sufficient soluble cotton to make it of the consistence of oil (the exact
+quantity must depend rather upon the dexterity of the operator, as the
+thicker it is the more difficult to use) then add twenty minims of
+chloroform, dropping in the latter, which will fall to the bottom, but is
+readily dissolved on shaking the mixture for a few minutes.
+
+To two drachms of the same alcohol add the iodizing material preferred, and
+mix with the other ingredients.
+
+The above will be found to flow very evenly smoothly over the plate; is
+tough, intense, and _structureless_ in appearance. I have not yet
+determined what is the best iodizing mixture, but at present I prefer
+iodide of potassium _alone_, if pure, and twenty grains to the ounce of
+alcohol is the proportion I generally adopt; thus having five grains in
+each ounce of collodion.
+
+Lastly, as regards the soluble cotton, I cannot find any better material
+than that produced according to the formula published by Mr. Hadow, in the
+March Number of the _Photographic Journal_, thus: "Take of nit. potash,
+five parts; sulphuric acid, ten parts; water, one part; _all by weight_.
+Add the water to the nitrate of potash, and then the acid, and immediately
+immerse as much cotton wool as can be thoroughly saturated by the mixture,
+leaving it in for _at least_ ten minutes, and wash with a great abundance
+of water. The object of adding the cotton immediately that the acid has
+been mixed with the nitrate of potash, is to expose it to the action of the
+chemicals while they are at a temperature of from 120deg to 130deg. For
+farther particulars on this head, I must refer to Mr. Hadow's paper.
+
+GEO. SHADBOLT.
+
+    [This application is not a novelty to us: DR. DIAMOND has for some time
+    added a small portion of his amber varnish (which is prepared from
+    chloroform) to his collodion, and with satisfactory results. It is a
+    pity that so admirable a varnish is not to be procured at the
+    generality of photographic warehouses. We have never yet been able to
+    procure any which will bear comparison with some which DR. DIAMOND was
+    good enough to prepare for us.--ED. "N. & Q."]
+
+_Printing Positives._--I will venture to assure AMATEUR that,--if he will
+follow DR. DIAMOND'S formula for albumenizing Canson paper, either positive
+or negative, viz.,
+
+  Chloride of sodium (salt)                   5 grs.
+  Chloride of ammonium                        5 grs.
+  Water                                       1 oz.
+  Albumen, or the white of one egg, which
+  is near enough for the purpose              1 oz.
+
+and will excite this paper by floating it for about two minutes on a
+solution of nitrate of silver twenty grains to the ounce, distilled
+water,--provided his chemicals are good, he will obtain perfectly
+satisfactory results.
+
+Let his fixing bath be a saturated solution of hypo. soda, and if newly
+made let him, as recommended by DR. DIAMOND, add 40 grains of chloride of
+silver to every 8 ounces of the solution. The addition of a grain of sel
+d'or to every 8 ounces of solution will greatly improve the tones of
+colour; and if, after some {407} time, the positives become more of a brown
+tint than he likes, let him add a small quantity of sel d'or, half a grain
+to a bath of from 12 to 16 ounces, and he will find the dark tints
+restored.
+
+I inclose a copy of the print of "Horse-shoeing," obtained precisely by the
+method described. It is rather overprinted; but if AMATEUR will give you
+his address, and you will forward it to him, it will show him what tones of
+colour and depth may be procured by following the foregoing directions.

+
+_Photographic Excursions._--A few Fellows of the Society of Antiquaries
+have formed themselves into a Photographic Club for the purpose of making
+periodical excursions into the country, and so securing accurate views of
+the objects of antiquarian interest in the different localities they may
+visit. As it is intended that a copy of every photograph so taken shall be
+deposited in the portfolios of the Society, the advantages likely to result
+from this little reunion, both to the Society of Antiquaries and to
+Archaeology generally, are very obvious.

+Replies to Minor Queries.
+
+"_To Garble_" (Vol. ix., pp. 243. 359.).--I venture, with deference, to
+express a doubt as to whether E. S. T. T. has correctly defined either the
+former or the present meaning of the verb _to garble_, when he says "it
+meant a selection of the good and the discarding of the bad parts of
+anything: its present meaning is exactly the reverse of this." The statutes
+referred to by your correspondent, the first enacting that no bow staves
+shall be sold ungarbled, and the second imposing a penalty on the sale of
+spices and drugs not garbled, appear to me to indicate the former meaning
+of the word to have been the selection (picking out) of the _bad_ and the
+discarding of it. Experience shows that in all operations, involving the
+separation of objects worthless and of value, such as weeding, sifting, and
+winnowing, the former is removed from the latter and discarded. This view
+of the case seems to be supported by the fact of the dust and dross sifted
+from spices being called "garbles." The weeder removes weeds from flowers
+or plants, the garbler removes garbles from spices and bad bow staves from
+amongst good ones. Richardson's _Dictionary_ contains the following notes
+under the head _Garble_:
+
+    "Fr. _Grabeler_; It. _Garbellare_. Cotgrave says, Grabeller, to garble
+    spices, &c., (and hence) also to examine precisely, sift nearly, look
+    narrowly, search curiously into."
+
+After giving some examples of its use, Richardson says:
+
+    "As usually applied in England, to garble is to pick out, sift out what
+    may serve a particular purpose, and thus destroy or mutilate the fair
+    character of the whole."
+
+To go no farther, the reports of the parliamentary debates, when a "Blue
+Book" happens to furnish matter for discussion, amply confirm Richardson's
+definition, that _to garble_ is to pick out what may serve a purpose. In
+this sense, however, E. S. T. T. must admit that it would be as much
+garbling to quote all the _good_ passages of a work as to quote all the bad
+ones. May we not then assume the present meaning of the word _garble_ to be
+this--to quote passages with the view of conveying an impression of the
+ability or intention of a writer, which is not warranted by the general
+scope of the work?
+
+C. ROSS.
+
+_"Lyra Apostolica_" (Vol. ix., p. 304.).--There is, I believe, a slight
+inaccuracy in the rotation of the names given at the above page as the
+writers in the _Lyra Apostolica_. They go in alphabetical order, thus
+[alpha], Bowden; [beta], Froude; [gamma], Keble; [delta], Newman;
+[epsilon], Wilberforce; [zeta], Williams.
+
+B. R. A. Y.
+
+The poems signed [zeta]. were written by _Williams_, not by _Wilberforce_.
+
+Can you explain the meaning of the motto on the title-page--
+
+ "[Greek: Gnoien d', hos de deron ego polemoio pepaumai]"?
+
+M. D.
+
+    [This motto is from Homer, _Iliad_, xviii. 125. Its literal translation
+    is, They (the enemy) shall know that it was I who have long kept away
+    from the war," and, by implication, that I have now returned to it;
+    even I, the great hero Achilles; for he is the taunting speaker. Had it
+    not been for my absence, he intimates, the Trojans had not gained so
+    many and great victories. We must leave our correspondent to apply this
+    Homeric verse to the Protestant dark ages of the Georgian era, and to
+    the theological movement of 1833.]
+
+_John Bale, Bishop of Ossory_ (Vol. ix., p. 324.).--A catalogue, professing
+to be a complete one, of this over-ardent reformer's voluminous works, with
+a portrait, may be seen in Holland's _Herooelogia Anglica_, fol. 165-7.
+There are some curious notices concerning him in Blomefield's _History of
+Norwich_ (fol. 1741), pp. 154, 155, 794., where reference is also made to
+his brother Robert as a learned man and great writer.

+
+_Burial in an erect Posture_ (Vol. viii., pp. 5. 59. 233. 455. 630.; Vol.
+ix., p. 279.).--How strange it is that all of us should have forgotten
+Charlemagne. When his tomb at Aix-la-Chapelle was opened by the Emperor
+Frederic Barbarossa in 1165, "he found the body of Charlemagne, not
+reclining in his coffin, as is the usual fashion of the dead, but seated in
+his throne, as one alive, clothed in the imperial robes, bearing the
+sceptre in his hand, and on his knees a copy of the gospels." (See Murray's
+{408} _Handbook to Belgium_.) The throne in which the body was seated, the
+sarcophagus (of Parian marble, the work of Roman or Greek artists,

+"_Carronade_" (Vol. ix., p. 246.).--"The folk story," as to the derivation
+of this word (if such a comparatively modern invention deserves such an
+epithet, for the Carron works, I believe, did not exist a hundred years
+ago) is quite correct. This gun is said to have been invented in Ireland by
+General Melville; but having been perfected at Carron, it thence took its
+name.
+
+Landmann (no mean authority at the beginning of this century), in his
+_Questions and Answers on Artillery_, says: "The carronade takes its name
+from being first made at Carron."

+
+"_Largesse_" (Vol. v., p. 557.; Vol. ix., p. 209.).--The use of this word
+is not confined to Essex and Northamptonshire, but extends also to Norfolk.
+It is met with in many parishes in the western division of Norfolk: where,
+at the time of harvest, after accompanying the last load of corn home with
+the procession of the "Harvest Lady," it is customary that the labourers on
+the several farms should go round their respective parishes, and collect
+various sums of money, under the name of _largesse_, at the houses of the
+chief inhabitants, whether lay or clerical. Few were to be met with who
+refused this species of "black mail" thus levied on them; doubtless
+regarding it as one out of many means of testifying their thankfulness to
+the "Lord of the Harvest" for "filling their mouth with good things," and
+giving them an abundance of "corn and wine and oil."
+
+[Sigma].
+
+This word is of common occurrence in Suffolk during the shooting season,
+where sportsmen are affrays greeted with it, for a donation, by the
+labourers on the land where game is sought for.

+
+_Precious Stones_ (Vol. viii., p. 539.; Vol. ix., pp. 37. 88. 284.).--As
+the titles of so many works on this subject have been already given in your
+pages, perhaps I may be of some service to your correspondents in farther
+completing the list, and referring them to the following in my own
+collection:
+
+    On the Origin of Gems, by the Hon. Robert Boyle: London, 12mo.
+
+    The Mirror of Stones, in which the Nature, Generation, &c., of more
+    than 200 Jewels, &c., are distinctly described by Camillus Leonardus,
+    12mo.: London, 1750.
+
+    A Treatise on Diamonds and Pearls, by David Jeffries, 2nd edit., 8vo.:
+    London, 1751. [This work, which was very scarce, has been recently
+    reprinted by E. Lumley for 6s.]
+
+    Traite des Pierres precieuses et des Pierres fines, par L. Dutens,
+    12mo.: London, Paris, and Florence. [Reprinted, with additions, in "Les
+    Oeuvres Meles de Dutens:" Geneve, 8vo., 1784.]
+
+    A Treatise on Diamonds and Precious Stones, by John Mawe, 2nd edit.:
+    London, 8vo., 1823.
+
+    A Memoir of the Diamond, by John Murray, F.S.A., &c., 12mo.: London,
+    1831.
+
+Besides these may be consulted, the treatise of Gemma, _Delle Gemme
+pretiose_, 2 vols. 4to., a ponderous map of obsolete puerilities; the
+_Mineralogie_ of M. de Bomare; the _Crystallographie_ of M. Rome Delisle;
+the essay of Wallerius, _De Lapidum Origine_; the learned researches of
+Bergman, _Sur les Pierres precieuses_, &c.
+
+I may add, that a practical work on the nature and value of precious
+stones, comprehending the opinions and superstitions of the ancients
+respecting them, together with an essay upon engraved gems, an account of
+celebrated collections and specimens, &c., is much wanted, and would
+probably be well received.

+
+"_A Pinch of Snuff_" (Vol. vi., p. 431.; Vol. vii., p. 268.).--This work is
+correctly attributed to Benson E. Hill, Esq. The companion volume, _A Paper
+of Tobacco_, of which F. R. A. speaks in just terms of commendation, was
+the production of Mr. W. A. Chatto, the ingenious author of a _History of
+Playing Cards_, &c. His son, Mr. Thomas Chatto, from whom I received this
+information, is a bookseller, at No. 25. Museum Street, Bloomsbury: where I
+hope his civility, and anxiety to serve his visitors, will ensure the
+success he merits.

+_Darwin on Steam_ (Vol. ix., p. 271.).--The lines in question are not cited
+quite correctly by UNEDA. They run as follows:
+
+ "Soon shall thy arm, unconquer'd Steam, afar
+  Drag the slow barge, or drive the rapid car;
+  Or on wide-waving wings expanded bear,
+  The flying-chariot through the fields of air."
+
+They occur in the First Part of the _Botanic Garden_, p. 29., 2nd edit.,
+4to., London, 1791.

+
+_Gale of Rent_ (Vol. viii., pp. 563. 655.).--The word _gale_ is used in the
+west of Philadelphia in the sense of an instalment. Thus, if land is {409}
+bought to be paid for in annual sums, one of these is called a yearly gale.
+I have supposed, I cannot now say why, that this was an Irish expression.
+
+UNEDA.
+
+_Cobb Family_ (Vol. ix., p. 272).--I have much reason to believe that MR.
+ARTHUR PAGET will find a clue to his inquiries in the following particulars
+extracted from documents in my possession. The estate of St. Katharine's
+Hall, or St. Kattern's, near Bath, belonged to the family of Blanchard; and
+in 1748 the property passed to the family of Parry of St. Kattern's by
+marriage with the heiress of the Blanchards, who is thus described:
+
+    "Thomas Parry, and Querinah his wife, niece and heiress-at-law of
+    William Blanchard, who was only son and heir of Henry Blanchard, and
+    Querinah his wife," [only child of John Curle, Esq.].
+
+In 1795 Thomas Parry devised the estate to his son John Parry, who was the
+rector of Sturmer, co. Essex; and by his will [May, 1797] his property went
+to his sisters, Elizabeth Knight, Querinah Cobb, and Hannah Parry.
+Elizabeth married, Aug. 1781, Henry Knight of Lansdown, near Bath. Querinah
+married, Nov. 1781, William Milles Cobb, of Ringwood, gentleman, third son
+of Christopher Cobb, merchant, and Sarah his wife.
+
+I have in my possession some portraits of the Blanchard, Curle, and Parry
+families; two by Sir Peter Lely, which may afford MR. PAGET farther
+evidence of the consanguinity of Richard Cobb, Esq., and the Cobbs of
+Ringwood.

+
+On the principle that every little helps, and out of gratitude for
+CRANMORE'S assistance in the Milton-Minshull controversy, I would offer the
+following suggestions, which may haply serve as finger-posts to direct him
+on his way. William Cobb, Esq., of Adderbury, Oxon, immediate ancestor of
+the baronets of that name and place, derived from the Cobbs of Sandringham,
+in the hundred of Freebridge, Norfolk. Blomefield's _History_ of the latter
+county might be consulted with advantage. The Cobbs of Adderbury bore
+"Sable, a chevron argent between three dolphins naiant embowed or, a chief
+of the last." Randle Holme, in his _Academy of Armory_, 1688, gives the
+following as the arms of Cobb,--"Per chevron sable and gules, two swans
+respecting each other and a herring cobb argent." Thomas Cobb, of
+Otterington, Yorkshire, a loyal subject of King Charles I., compounded for
+his estates in the sum of 472l. There is a brass in Sharnbrook Church,
+Bedfordshire, commemorating William Cobbe, who died in 1522, Alice his
+wife, a son Thomas, and other children.

+T. HUGHES.

+
+"_Aches_" (Vol. ix., p. 351.).--I am not aware of any rhyme which fixes the
+pronunciation of _aches_ in the time of Shakspeare, but I think the
+following quite as decisive:
+
+    "_Of the Fallacie in the Accent or Pronunciation._--The fallacie of the
+    accent is, when a false thing is affirmed under colour of pronouncing
+    it as another thing that is true. For example:
+
+     'Where no _ache_ is, there needs no salve;
+      In the gout there is no H,
+      Therefore, in the gout, there needs no salve.'"
+
+        _The Elements of Logicke_, by Peter Dumoulin. Translated out of the
+        French copie by Nathanael De-Lawne, with the Author's approbation:
+        London, 1624, 24mo.

+North _Meols_ (the favourite watering-place of Southport being within it)
+in the sandy district to the south of the estuary of the Ribble, in
+Lancashire.
+
+PRESTONIENSIS.
+
+_Polygamy_ (Vol. ix., p. 246.).--The practice of monogamy had been
+established among the Jews before the Christian era, as is shown by various
+expressions in the New Testament; but their law (like that of other
+oriental nations) still permitted polygamy, and they were expressly
+prohibited by an enactment of the Emperor Theodosius, of the year 393, from
+marrying several wives at the same time (Cod. 1. 9. 7.); so that the
+practice was not then extinct among them. Monogamy was the law and practice
+of all the Greek and Italian communities, so far back as our accounts
+reach. There is no trace of polygamy in Homer. Even in the incestuous
+marriages supposed by him in the mythical family of Aeolus, the monogamic
+rule is observed, _Odyssey_, x. 7. The Roman law recognised monogamy alone,
+and hence polygamy was prohibited in the entire Roman empire. It thus
+became practically the rule of Christians, and was engrafted into the canon
+law of the Eastern and Western Churches.

+
+_Wafers_ (Vol. ix., p. 376.).--I have in my possession a volume of original
+Italian letters, addressed to a Venetian physician (who appears to have
+been eminent in his profession), Michael Angelo Rota, written during the
+early part of the seventeenth century. Many of these letters have been
+sealed with red wafers, still adhering to the {410} paper, and precisely
+similar to those now in use. The earliest of the letters which I have found
+sealed is dated April, 1607, which is seventeen years earlier than the
+earliest known instance, mentioned by Beckmann (_History of Inventions_,
+Bohn's edit., vol. i. p. 146.), of a letter sealed with a wafer.

+NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.
+
+The Northern Antiquaries set their brethren in this country a noble
+example. Every year sees one or more of them engaged in the production of
+carefully-edited volumes of early Scandinavian history. We have now to
+record the publication, by Professor Munch, of the old Norse text of _Kong
+Olaf Tryggvesoen's Saga_ from a MS. in the Library at Stockholm which has
+not hitherto been made use of; and also, by the same gentleman, in
+conjunction with his friend Professor Unger, of an edition of the _Saga
+Olafs Konungs ens Helga_, from the earliest MS. in the library at
+Stockholm. Each work is introduced by a preface of great learning, and
+illustrated by a large body of valuable notes.
+
+Those who have shared our regret, that the brilliant notices of books which
+occasionally appear in the columns of _The Times_ should be presented in a
+form which scarcely admits of their being preserved, and also our
+satisfaction when Mr. Murray put forth his selection from them under the
+title of _Essays from the Times_, will be glad that the same publisher has
+issued in his _Railway Reading_ a Second Series of them, comprising
+fourteen articles.
+
+We may remind all lovers of beautiful illustrations of Mediaeval Art, that
+Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson will sell by auction on Monday next the
+entire stock of the magnificent publications of Mr. Henry Shaw, F.S.A.,
+whose _Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages_ are a type of the whole.
+Such an opportunity of securing copies at a reasonable rate will never
+occur again. While on the subject of sales, we may mention that Messrs.
+Puttick and Simpson announce a sale of _Photographs_. This is the first
+instance; but we may be sure, with the growing taste for these accurate
+and, in many cases, also artistic transcripts of nature, every season will
+see many similar sales.
+
+At the anniversary of the Society of Antiquaries on Monday last, Admiral
+Smyth moved a vote of thanks to MR. BRUCE, on his retirement from the
+Treasurership, for his zeal and indefatigable exertions in that office. The
+manner in which the gallant Admiral's remarks were received showed, first,
+that the reforms advocated by Mr. Bruce now meet the general approval of
+the Society; and secondly, that the warmth of feeling which they had called
+forth on both sides has entirely disappeared.
+
+BOOKS RECEIVED.--_Conde's History of the Arabs in Spain, translated from
+the Spanish_, by Mrs. Jonathan Foster, in three volumes, Vol. I. Mr. Bohn
+deserves the best thanks of all lovers of history for this English
+translation--the first which has ever been made--of the admirable work of
+Conde. It is one of the most important volumes which he has published in
+his _Standard Library.--The Diary and Letters of Madame D'Arblay_, Vol. II.
+The second volume of this amusing, gossiping, and egotistical work,
+comprises the period 1781-1786.--_Pantomime Budgets, &c._, a clever
+pamphlet in favour of prepaid taxation.--_John Penry, the Pilgrim Martyr_,
+1559-1593, by John Waddington. A violent anti-church biography of Penry,
+whose share in the Marprelate Controversy Mr. Waddington disbelieves on
+very insufficient grounds.

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

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

+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

+     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

+
+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

+
+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, 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 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.

+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.
