In a +subsequent number of the "NOTES AND QUERIES" (Vol. i., p. 397.), the +authenticity of the volume is somewhat called in question by MR. C. +ROSS, on account of certain historical entries not appearing in it, +which are printed by Welwood in his _Memoirs_[1], and stated to have +been copied by him from "a little pocket-book" which was taken with +Monmouth, and afterwards delivered to the King. Dr. Anster replied to +this in the _Dublin University Magazine_ for June, 1850 (vol. xxxv. p. +673.), and showed by references to the _Harleian Miscellany_ (vol. vi. +p. 322., ed. 1810), and Sir John Reresby's _Memoirs_ (p. 121. 4to., +1734), that more than one book was found on the Duke of Monmouth's +person when captured. In the former of these authorities, entitled _An +Account of the Manner of taking the late Duke of Monmouth: by his +Majesty's command_, printed in 1685, and perhaps compiled from +information given by the king himself, the following statement is +made:-- + + "The papers and books that were found on him are since delivered + to his Majesty. One of the books was a manuscript of spells, + charms, and conjurations, songs, receipts, and prayers, _all + written with the said late Duke's own hand_. Two others were + manuscripts of fortification and the military art. And a fourth + book, fairly written, wherein are computes of the yearly expense + of his Majesty's navy and land forces." + + [Footnote 1: Query, what is the date of the _first_ edition of + Welwood's work? The earliest in the Museum library is the _third_ + edition, printed in 1700.] + +It is remarkable that the "pocket-book" mentioned by Welwood is not here +specified, but it is possible that the entries quoted by him may have +been written on the pages of one of the other books. Two of the above +only are noticed by Mr. Macaulay, namely, "a small treatise on +fortification," and "an album filled with songs, receipts, prayers, and +charms"; and there can be no reasonable doubt that the latter, which is +mentioned by the author of the tract in the _Harleian Miscellany_, as +well as by Reresby and Barillon, is the identical manuscript which forms +the subject of Dr. Anster's remarks. + +Within a few weeks this singular volume has been added by purchase to +the National Collection of Manuscripts in the British Museum, previous +to which I ascertained, by a careful comparison of its pages with +several undoubted letters of the Duke of Monmouth (an advantage Dr. +Anster did not possess), that the whole of the volume (or nearly so) is +certainly in the Duke's handwriting. This evidence might of itself be +deemed sufficient; but some lines written on the fly-leaf of the volume +(which are passed over by Dr. Anster as of no moment) confirm the fact +beyond all cavil, since, on seeing them, I immediately recognised them +as the autograph of King James himself. They are as follows: + + "This book was found in the Duke of Monmouth's pocket when he was + taken, and is most of his owne handwriting." + +Although the contents of this volume have been already described in +general terms by Dr. Anster, yet it may not perhaps be uninteresting to +give a more detailed list of what is written in it:-- + + 1. Receipts "for the stone"; "to know the sum of numbers before + they be writ doun"; "pour nettoyer l'ovrages de cuyvre argente;" + "for to make Bouts and Choos [Boots and Shoes] hold out water;" + and "to keep the goms well."--pp. 1-4. 8. + + 2. Magical receipts and charms in French, written partly in an + abbreviated form, accompanied by cabalistic figures. Two of these + are to deliver a person out of prison, and are no doubt the same + which Sir John Reresby refers to.--pp. 5. 7. 9. 11-17. + + 3. "The forme of a bill of Excheng," drawn on David Nairne of + London, from Antwerp, May 16, 1684, for 200_l._ sterling.--p. 6. + + 4. Astrological rules in French for finding out anything required; + together with a planetary wheel, dated 1680, to show life or death + in case of illness, also happiness and adversity.--pp. 19-25. + + 5. Directions "pour savoire si une person sera fidelle ou non," + &c. At the bottom is a cypher, in which _a_ stands for 10, _b_ for + 52, &c., p. 27. All this is entered again at pp. 45. 47. + + 6. "The way from London to East Tilbery," dated December 1, + 1684.--p. 29. + + 7. Prayers for the morning and evening, pp. 31-43. + + 8. List of the Christian names of women and men.--pp. 44. 46. 48. + + 9. Arithmetical table of the number 7, multiplied from 1 to + 37.--pp. 49. 51. + + 10. Receipts "to take away a corne;" "a soveraign water of Dr. + Stephens;" "to make the face fair;" "to make golden letters + without gold;" "to kip iron from rusting;" "to write letters of + secrets;" "to make hair grow;" "to make hair grow black, though of + any colour;" and several more.--pp. 52-61. + + 11. Casualties that happened in the reigns of the English + sovereigns, from William I. to Queen Mary inclusive; consisting + chiefly of remarkable accidents, and reputed prodigies.--pp. + 62-78. + + 12. "Socrates, Platon, Aristote et Ciceron ont fait ces trente + Comandemens pour leurs disciples."--pp. 78, 79. + + 13. "A receipt for the Farcy."--p. 81. + + 14. A poem intitled "The Twin Flame, _sent mee by M P_"--pp. + 83-91. + +The words in Italics have been scribbled over with the pen for the +purpose of concealment. The verses commence: + + "Fantastick wanton god, what dost thou mean, + To breake my rest, make mee grow pale and lean." + + 15. Receipts for secret writing, to take impressions of prints + upon glass, to boil plate, &c.--pp. 93-98. + + 16. Several songs in English and French, pp. 99-107. + +Among them are the verses printed in "NOTES AND QUERIES," Vol. i., p. +199., beginning "With joie we do leave thee," accompanied by the musical +notes; and also a song commencing "All ye gods that ar above," with the +musical notes. It is most probable that these songs are copied from +printed sources; but as they have been conjectured to be compositions by +Monmouth himself, the following short specimen may not be unacceptable, +copied _literatim_. + + "O how blest, and how inocent, + and happy is a country life, + free from tumult and discontent; + heer is no flatterys nor strife, + for t'was the first and happiest life, + when first man did injoie him selfe. + + This is a better fate than kings, + hence jentle peace and love doth flow, + for fancy is the rate of things; + I'am pleased, because I think it so, + for a hart that is nobly true, + all the world's arts can n'er subdue." + +This poem immediately follows the one in which Toddington in +Bedfordshire (which the Duke spells, probably as then pronounced, +_Tedington_) is referred to. + + 17. Prayers after the confession of sins, and the sense of pardon + obtained.--pp. 108-125. + +These prayers breathe a spirit of the most humble and ardent piety; and +if composed by the Duke himself, exhibit the weakness of his character +in a more favourable light than the remainder of the volume. One +paragraph is striking:-- + + "Mercy, mercy, good Lord! I aske not of thee any longer the things + of this world; neither power, nor honours, nor riches, nor + pleasures. No, my God, dispose of them to whom thou pleasest, so + that thou givest me mercy." + + 18. "The Batteryes that can be made at Flushing to keep ships from + coming in."--pp. 127, 128. + + 19. "Traite de la guere ou Politique militaire."--pp. 130-132. + + 20. "The Rode that is to be taken from Bruxels to Diren, the Pri. + of Orange's house."--p. 133. + + 21. "The Road from Bruxells to Sousdyck, the Prince of Orange his + hous."--p. 134. + + 22. "The way that I tooke from Diren, when I went for England, + Nov. the 10. 84."--p. 135. + + 23. "The way that I took when I came from England, December the + 10th. 84."--p. 137. + + 24. "The way that I took the first day of Jan. n. st. [1684-5] + from Bruxells to the Hague."--p. 139. + + 25. Similar memoranda from 11th to 14th March, 1685, between + Antwerp and Dort.--p. 141. + + 26. The addresses of various persons in Holland, London, Paris, + and elsewhere, to whom letters were to be written, 1685.--pp. 142. + 147-155. + + 27. "The footway from Trogou to Amsterdam."--p. 143. + + 28. An obscure memorandum, as follows:--"1683. Munday the 5th of + November. H. W. had T.--The 9th of November, Poupe.--The 16th of + November, Poupe."--p. 156. + + 29. Value of duckatons, pistols, and gilders.--_Ib._ + + 30. Note of the route from London to Tedington.--p. 157. + +Although this volume is not of the same historical value as the _Diary_ +mentioned by Welwood, yet it is a curious and interesting relic of the +unfortunate man who possessed it, and whose want of education, +superstition, and frivolity are so prominently displayed in its pages. +As to its recent history, Dr. Anster states that it was purchased at a +book-stall in Paris, in 1827, by an Irish divinity student; the same, +probably, who has written his name at p. 90.: "John Barrette, Irish +College, Paris, Dec. 31, 1837."--The same person has made a memorandum +in pencil, at p. 1., which has subsequently been partially rubbed out, +and, as far as now legible, is as follows:-- + + "This Book was found in ... of the English College in Paris, among + other MSS. deposited there by James II." + +An earlier hand has scribbled a list of the contents at the +commencement, with the signature "S. Rutter." If King James deposited +this volume in the College at Paris, in all probability the others found +on the person of the Duke of Monmouth accompanied it, and may one day or +other turn up as unexpectedly as the present book has done. + + F. MADDEN. + + British Museum, June 27. + + +FOLK LORE. + +_Stanton Drew and its Tradition._--At the little village of Stanton +Drew, in the county of Somerset, east of the road between Bristol and +Wells, stands a well-known Druidical monument, which, in the opinion of +Dr. Stukeley, was more ancient than that at Abury. It consists +(according to a recent writer) of four groups of stones, forming (or, +rather, having formed when complete) two circles; and two other figures, +one an ellipse. Although the largest stones are much inferior in their +dimensions to those at Stonehenge and Abury, they are by no means +contemptible; some of them being nine feet in height and twenty-two feet +in girth. There is a curious tradition very prevalent amongst the +country people, respecting the origin of these remains, which they +designate the "Evil Wedding," for the following good and substantial +reasons:--Many hundred years ago (on a Saturday evening), a newly +married couple, with their relatives and friends, met on the spot now +covered by these ruins, to celebrate their nuptials. Here they feasted +and danced right merrily, until the clock tolled the hour of midnight, +when the piper (a pious man) refused to play any longer: this was much +against the wish of the guests, and so exasperated the bride (who was +fond of dancing), that she swore with an oath, she would not be baulked +in her enjoyment by a beggarly piper, but would find a substitute, if +she went to h-ll to fetch one. She had scarcely uttered the words, when +a venerable old man, with a long beard, made his appearance, and having +listened to their request, proffered his services, which were right +gladly accepted. The old gentleman (who was no other than the Arch-fiend +himself) having taken the seat vacated by the godly piper, commenced +playing a slow and solemn air, which on the guests remonstrating he +changed into one more lively and rapid. The company now began to dance, +but soon found themselves impelled round the performer so rapidly and +mysteriously, that they would all fain have rested. But when they +essayed to retire, they found, to their consternation, that they were +moving faster and faster round their diabolical musician, who had now +resumed his original shape. Their cries for mercy were unheeded, until +the first glimmering of day warned the fiend that he must depart. With +such rapidity had they moved, that the gay and sportive assembly were +now reduced to a ghastly troop of skeletons. "I leave you," said the +fiend, "a monument of my power and your wickedness to the end of time:" +which saying, he vanished. The villagers, on rising in the morning, +found the meadow strewn with large pieces of stone, and the pious piper +lying under a hedge, half dead with fright, he having been a witness to +the whole transaction. + + DAVID STEVENS. + + Godalming, May 10. 1851. + + +Minor Notes. + +_The Hon. Spencer Perceval._--Being on a tour through the West of +England some years ago, I found myself one morning rapidly advancing up +the river Tamar, in the gig of "the Captain of the Ordinary" at +Plymouth. We were bound for the noble ruins of Trematon Castle, in the +area of which a good modern house has been erected, and in one of the +towers is arranged a very pleasing collection of antiquities. + +As we proceeded up the river, the gallant captain related the following +anecdote in reference to the then proprietor of Trematon:-- + + It is well known that in the afternoon of the 12th May, 1812, the + Hon. Spencer Perceval, the then prime minister, fell by the hand + of Bellingham in the lobby of the House of Commons; the cause + assigned by the murderer being the neglect of, or refusal to + discharge a supposed claim he had upon the government. + +On the same night the gentleman above alluded to, and residing at +Trematon, had the tragic scene so minutely and painfully depicted in his +sleep, that he could not resist the desire of sending the particulars to +a friend in town, which he did by the _up mail_, which departed a few +hours after he had risen on the following morning. + +He informed his friend that his topographical knowledge of London was +very meagre; and that as to the House of Commons (the old one), he had +seen only the exterior: he went on to state, that, dreaming he was in +town, he had a desire to hear the debates in Parliament, and for this +purpose enquired his way to the lobby of the House, the architectural +peculiarities of which he minutely described; he gave an exact +description of the few officials and others in the room, and especially +of a tall, thin man, who seemed to watch the opening of the door as any +one entered with wild and restless gaze: at length Mr. Perceval arrived, +whose person (although unknown to him) and dress he described, as also +the manner in which the horrid deed was done: he further communicated +the words uttered by the victim to the effect "the villain has +murdered--;" how the wounded man was treated, and the person of the +medical man who was on the instant called in. + +These, with other particulars, which have escaped my memory, were thus +recorded, and the first newspaper he received confirmed the accuracy of +this extraordinary dream. + + M. W. B. + +_An Adventurer in 1632._--I transcribe from a manuscript letter now +before me, dated "Tuesday, Whitsun-week, 1632," the following passage. +Can you or any of your correspondents give me (or tell me where I am +likely to find) any further information of the adventurer there named? + + "Heer is much Speach of the Brauery of a Porter yt hath taken a + Braue House, and hath his Coach & 4 Horses. Ye Lord Mayor examined + him how he gott yt Wealth: he answered nothing. Then ye Lords of + ye Council gott out of him, that he being the Pope's Brother Borne + in Essex, Goodman Linges Sonnes, was maintained by him, and + tempted much to have come over to him: these 2 Brothers beings + Ship Boyes to a French pirate, the porter gott meanes to come + againe into England, but ye other being a Witty Boy was sould to a + Coortier in Paris, who trauelling to Florence, thear bestowed his + Boy of a Great Man, who when he dyed tooke such affection to this + Boy, yt changeing his name to his owne left his estate to him: and + so in time grew a Florentine, a Cardinall, & now Pope, ye greatest + linguist for the Latine yt ever was." + + C. DE D. + + [Maffeo Barberini (Urban VIII.) was the Roman pontiff between 1623 + and 1644, and is said to have been born at Florence in 1568, of a + noble family. He was a good classical scholar, and no mean Latin + poet. One charge brought against him was his weak partiality + towards his nephews, who abused his old age and credulity. It is + probable some of our correspondents can throw some light on this + mysterious document.] + +_Almanacs._--A friend of mine, in taking down his old rectory house last +year, found under one of the floors a book almanac, of which the +following is the title given: + + "A Prognossicacion and an Almanac fastened together, declaring the + Dispocission of the People, and also of the Wether, with certaine + Electyons and Tymes chosen both for Phisicke and Surgerye, and for + the Husbandman. And also for Hawekying, Huntying, Fyshing, and + Foulyinge, according to the Science of Astronomy, made for the + yeare of our Lord God M. D. L. calculed for the Merydyan of Yorke, + and practiced by Anthony Askam." + +At the end of the Almanac: + + "Imprynted at London, in Flete Strete, at the Signe of the + George, next to Saynt Dunstone's Churche, by Wyllyam Powell, cum + priuilegio ad imprimendum solum." + +Then follows the "Prognossicacion," the title-page to which is as +follows: + + "A Prognossicacion for the yere of our Lord M.CCCCCL., calculed + upon the Meridiane of the Towne of Anwarpe and the Country + thereabout, by Master Peter of Moorbecke, Doctoure in Physicke of + ye same Towne, whereunto is added the Judgment of M. Cornelius + Schute, Doctor in Physicke of the Towne of Bruges in Flanders, + upon and concerning the Disposicion, Estate, and Condicion of + certaine Prynces, Contreys, and Regions for thys present yere, + gathered oute of hys Prognostication for the same yere. Translated + out of Dutch into Englyshe by William Harrys." + +At the end-- + + "Imprynted at London by John Daye, dwellynge over Aldersgate and + Wylliam Seres, dwellyng in Peter Colledge. These Bokes are to be + sold at the Newe Shop by the lytle Conduyte in Chepesyde." + +The print is old English. Mr. Francis Moore and the Almanacs have +figured in your recent Numbers, and I have thought that a brief notice +of an almanac three hundred years old might not be unacceptable to your +"NOTES AND QUERIES" friends. + + D. + + Exeter, June 18. 1851. + + + + +Queries. + + +GHOST STORIES. + +From some recent experiments of the Baron von Reichenbach, it seems +probable that wherever chemical action is going on light is evolved, +though it is only by persons possessing peculiar (though not very rare) +powers of sight, and by them only under peculiar circumstances, that it +can be seen. It occurred to him that such persons might perhaps see +light over graves in which dead bodies were undergoing decomposition. He +says: + + "The desire to inflict a mortal wound on the monster, + superstition, which, from a similar origin, a few centuries ago, + inflicted on European society so vast an amount of misery; and by + whose influence, not hundreds, but thousands of innocent persons + died in tortures on the rack and at the stake;--this desire made + me wish to make the experiment, if possible, of bringing a highly + sensitive person, by night, to a churchyard."--Sec. 158. Gregory's + Translation, p. 126. + +The experiment succeeded. Light "was chiefly seen over all new graves; +while there was no appearance of it over very old ones." The fact was +confirmed in subsequent experiments by five other sensitive persons, and +I have no design of questioning it. My doubt is only how far we can +consider the knowledge of it as giving a "mortal wound" to superstition. +"Thousands of ghost stories," the Baron tells us, "will now receive a +natural explanation, and will thus cease to be marvellous;" and he +afterwards says, "Thus I have, I trust, succeeded in tearing down one of +the densest veils of darkened ignorance and human error." I repeat that +I do not question the fact; my Query is, where to find the "thousands of +ghost stories" which are explained by it; and as I suspect that you have +some correspondents capable of giving information on such subjects, I +shall feel much obliged if they will tell me. + + S. R. MAITLAND. + + Gloucester. + + +A BOOK WANTED OF ENZINAS.--FRANCISCO DE ENZINAS, OR DRYANDER, TRANSLATOR +OF THE SPANISH NEW TESTAMENT, 1543. + +Can any obliging reader of the "NOTES AND QUERIES" inform me of the +existence, in any of our public libraries, or for sale, of the following +book: _Dryandri (Franciscus) Flandriae propriae incarcerationis et +liberationis Historia_: Antwerpiae(?) 1545. Sm. 8vo.? Fox, the +martyrologist, writing of Dryander, says: + + "I read the book in the shop of John Oporine, printer, of Basil." + +I have a French translation of it, and a Spanish version is sanctioned +by Pellicea (after Gerdes), under this title: _Breve Descripcion del +Pais Baxo, y razon de la Religion en Espana_, en 8vo.; but in such a +manner as leaves it questionable. If a Spanish version is known, I +should esteem it a favour to be informed where it can now be found. + +Enzinas passed part of the years 1542-3 with Melancthon at Wittemberg. +Having completed his New Testament, he returned early in the latter year +to Antwerp to get it printed. After much reflection and advice with his +friends, he made an agreement with Stephen Mierdmann of Antwerp, in the +following manner: + + "I determined," says he, "to do my duty in the affair, at all + events; which was, to undertake the publication, and to leave the + consequences, and the course of the inspired Word, to the + providence of God, to whom it of right belonged. I therefore spoke + with a ----, and asked him whether he was willing to print my + book. He answered, Yes, very gladly; partly because I desire to do + some good for the commonweal more than for my own particular + interest, caring little for gain or for the slander of opponents; + and partly, also, said he, because it is a book that has long been + desired. Then I asked him whether it was needful to have a + _license_ or _permission_, and whether he could not print it + without these: for, said I, it would ill beseem the Word of God, + from which kings and rulers derive the authority for the exercise + of their power, that it should be subject to the permission or + prohibition of any human feeling or fancy. To this he answered, + that no law of the Emperor had ever forbidden the printing of the + Holy Scriptures; and this was well known, for in Antwerp the New + Testament had already been printed in almost every language of + Europe but the Spanish, and that neither himself nor any other + printer had ever previously asked permission. From his experience, + he had no doubt that, provided it was faithfully translated, the + New Testament might be freely printed without leave or license. + Then, said I, get ready your presses and everything needful for + the work. I will answer for the interpretation of the text, and + you shall take the risk of printing. And more, in order that you + shall not suffer by loss or fine from our Spaniards, I will take + the expense of the impression on myself. So I delivered to him the + copy, and begged him to dispatch the business as soon as possible. + + "Nothing relating to it was done in secret; everybody knew that + the New Testament was being printed in Spanish. Many praised the + project; many waited for it with eagerness; my rooms were never + closed, every one who wished came in and out: and yet I doubt not + that some who came and beforehand praised my book, when they were + behind my back, and with their own parties, sung another song; + well perceiving that the reading of the Scriptures by the people + is not very likely to profit their avaricious stomachs. I care + little, however, for such opinions and selfish passions, confiding + in God alone, who directed and would protect an undertaking + devoted solely to His own glory." + +It were too long for the "NOTES AND QUERIES" to tell how he was induced +to cancel the first leaf of his New Testament after it was printed, +because it had one word which savoured of Lutheranism; of his presenting +the finished volume to the Emperor Charles V. at Brussels; how he +received him, and what he said of his being entrapped by his confessor, +and cast into prison for fifteen months, escaping and being let down by +a rope over the city wall, until he found repose and security again at +Wittemberg with Melancthon. + +Few of the early translations of the New Testament into the vulgar +languages of Europe are so little known as the Spanish of Francisco de +Enzinas, or Dryander; and yet, perhaps, of no one of them are there such +minute particulars of the printing and publication to be found upon +record as that published by him in 1543, and of his imprisonment in +consequence of it. + + BENJAMIN B.

John Turpin's _History of the Life +of Charles the Great and Roland_ has long since been regarded as a +collection of fables; as a romance written under a feigned name. Its +real character is, however, best described by Ferrario, when he says +that it is not to be considered as "the mere invention of any one +impostor, but rather as a compilation of ancient tales and ballads that +had been circulating amongst the people from the ninth century." +(_Storia ed Analisi degli Antichi Romanzi di Cavalleria_, vol. i. pp. +21, 22.) In such a work we must not calculate upon meeting with facts, +but we may hope to be able to obtain an insight into ancient practices, +and an acquaintance with ancient customs. It is for this reason I would +desire to draw the attention of the reader to a curious mode of +preserving the bodies of the dead, stated by Turpin. He says that the +Christians, being without a sufficient supply of aromatic drugs +wherewith to embalm the dead, disembowelled them, and filled them up +with salt. The passage thus stands in the original: + + "Tunc defunctorum corpora amici eorum diversis aromatibus + condiverunt; alii myrrha, alii balsamo, alii _sale_ diligentes + perfuderunt: _multi corpora per ventrem findebant et stercora + ejiciebant, et sale, alia aromata non habentes, condiebant._"--C. + 27. + +Does any other author but Turpin mention this mode of "salting," or +rather of "pickling" the dead? This is the Query which I put, in the +expectation of having it answered in the affirmative, as I am quite +certain I have met with another author--although I cannot cite his +name--who mentions the body of a Duke of Gloucester being thus preserved +with salt; but unfortunately I have not taken a note of the author, and +can only thus vaguely refer to the fact. + + W.

W. + +_Miss._--It is generally, I believe, understood that, prior to the time +of Charles II., married women were called _Mistress_, and unmarried had +_Mistress_ prefixed to their Christian name; and that the equivocal +position of many in that reign, gave rise to the peculiar designation of +_Miss_ or "Mis." Can any of your readers show an earlier use of the +term than the following, from _Epigrams of all Sorts_, by Richard +Flecknoe, published 1669? + + "To Mis. Davis on her excellent Dancing. + Dear Mis., delight of all the nobler sort, + Pride of the stage and darling of the court." + +Again, was the term, when used with especial reference to these ladies, +always spelt with one _s_, as _Mis_? + + M.

Now, I should think +the person whom secret associations can be even imagined, ever so +falsely, to keep in continual remembrance, and who is thus placed in +competition with the Grand Master of the Temple, should at least enjoy +that moderate share of celebrity that will enable some of your +correspondents to inform me who he was, and what were the circumstances +of his death.

(Vol. iii., p. 478.). It is a copy of a +letter from the Duke of Monmouth, as Chancellor of the University of +Cambridge, intimating to the clergy the displeasure of Charles II. at +their use of periwigs, and their practice of reading sermons. His +Majesty, it will be found, thought both customs equally important and +equally unbecoming. Of the latter, it is stated that it "took beginning +with the disorders of the late times, and that the way of preaching +without book was most agreeable to the use of the foreign churches, to +the custom of the University heretofore, and to the nature and +intendment of that holy exercise." It will surprise many of your readers +to find that the reading of sermons was considered to be a mere +puritanical innovation. + + "_The Duke of Monmouth, Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, + to the Vice-Chancellor and University._ + + "Mr. Vice-Chancellor and Gentlemen, + + "His Majesty having taken notice of the liberty which several + persons in holy orders have taken to wear their hair and periwigs + of an unusual and unbecoming length, hath commanded me to let you + know, that he is much displeased therewith, and strictly injoins + that all such persons as profess or intend the study of divinity, + do for the future wear their hair in a manner more suitable to the + gravity and sobriety of their profession, and that distinction + which was always maintained between the habit of men devoted to + the ministry and other persons. + + "And whereas, his Majesty is informed that the practice of reading + sermons is generally taken up by the preachers before the + University, and there for some time continued, even before + himself, his Majesty hath commanded me to signify to you his + pleasure, that the said practice, which took beginning with the + disorders of the late times, be wholly laid aside; and that the + foresaid preachers deliver their sermons, both in Latin and + English, by memory, or without book, as being a way of preaching + which his Majesty judges most agreeable to the use of the foreign + churches, and to the custom of the University heretofore, and to + the nature and intendment of that holy exercise. + + "And that his Majesty's commands in the premisses may be duly + regarded and observed, his Majesty's farther pleasure is, that the + names of all such ecclesiastical persons as shall wear their hair + as heretofore in an unfitting imitation of the fashion of laymen, + or that shall continue in the present slothfull way of preaching, + be from time to time signified unto me by the Vice-Chancellor for + the time being, upon pain of his Majesty's displeasure. + + "Having in obedience to his Majesty's will signified thus much + unto you, I shall not doubt of that your ready compliance; and the + rather because his Majesty intends to send the same injunctions + very speedily to the University of Oxford, whom I am assured you + will equal in all other excellencies, and so in obedience to the + king; especially when his commands are so much to the honour and + esteem of that renowned University, whose welfare is so heartily + desired, and shall ever be endeavoured by, Mr. Vice-Chancellor, + + "Your loving friend and Chancellor, + + "MONMOUTH." + +I believe this letter, or something like it, was published by Peck in +his _Desiderata Curiosa_, and also by Mr. Roberts in his _Life of +Monmouth_.

P. + + Brighton, June 27. + + +LORD MAYOR NOT A PRIVY COUNCILLOR. + +(Vol. iii., p. 496.) + +This Query, and your answer, involve one or two important questions, +which are worth a fuller solution than you have given. + +The Lord Mayor is no more a Privy Councillor than he is Archbishop of +Canterbury. The title of "Right Honourable," which has given rise to +that vulgar error, is in itself a mere courtesy appended to the title of +"Lord;" which is also, popularly, though not _legally_, given him: for +in all _his own_ acts, he is designated officially as "Mayor" only. The +courtesy-title of _Lord_ he shares with the Mayors of Dublin and York, +the Lord-Advocate of Scotland, the younger sons of Dukes and Marquises, +&c. &c., and all such _Lords_ are styled by courtesy "Right Honourable;" +and this style of _Right Honourable_ is also given to Privy Councillors +in virtue of their proper official title of "Lords of Her Majesty's Most +Honourable Privy Council." So, the "Right Honourable the Lords of the +Treasury and Admiralty." So much for the title. The fact stated in the +Editor's answer, of the admission of the Lord Mayor _to the Council +Chamber_ after some clamour, on the accession of William IV., is a +mistake arising out of the following circumstances. On the demise of the +crown, a London Gazette Extraordinary is immediately published, with a +proclamation announcing the death of one sovereign and the accession of +the other. This proclamation styles itself to be that of the-- + +"Peers Spiritual and Temporal of the Realm, _assisted_ by those of the +late Privy Council, with numbers of _others_, Gentlemen of Quality, with +the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of London." + +The proclamation is that of the _Peers_ alone, but _assisted_ by the +_others_. The cause of this form is, that the demise of the crown +dissolves the Privy Council, and used (till modern times) to dissolve +parliaments, and abrogate the commissions of the Judges, and all other +public officers; so that the Lords Spiritual and Temporal were the only +subsisting authority. Hence _they_, of necessity, undertook the duty of +proclaiming the new king, but they fortified themselves "_with the +assistance of_ the principal gentlemen of quality, and of the Lord +Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens." This paper is first signed by the Peers, +and then by all who happen to be present, promiscuously. At the +accession of William IV., there were about 180 names, of which "J. +Crowder, Mayor," stands the 106th. At the accession of Queen Victoria, +there were about 160 names, of which "Thomas Kelly, Mayor," is the +111th. And in both cases we find the names of the Aldermen, Sheriffs, +Town Clerk, City Remembrancer, and several others,--private citizens, +and many altogether private persons, who happened to come to the palace +at that time. + +It is obvious that all this has nothing to do with the Privy Council, +for, in fact, at that moment, no Privy Council exists. But while these +things are going on in an outward room of the palace, where everybody is +admitted, the new sovereign commands the attendance of the late Privy +Council in the council chamber, where the old Privy Councillors are +generally (I suppose always) re-sworn of the new council; and _then_ and +_there_ are prepared and promulgated several acts of the new sovereign, +to which are prefixed the names of the Privy Councillors present. Now, +to this _council_ chamber the Lord Mayor is no more admitted than the +Town Clerk would be, and to these acts of the council _his name has +never appeared_. + +All these facts appear in the _London Gazettes_ for the 27th June, 1830, +and the 30th June, 1837; and similar proceedings took place in Dublin; +though since the Union the practice is at least superfluous. + +This establishes the _rationale_ of the case, but there is a precedent +that concludes it:-- + + "On the 27th May, 1768, Mr. Thomas Harley, then Lord Mayor of + London, was sworn of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council!" + +--an honour never since conferred on any Mayor or Alderman, and which +could not have been conferred on him if he had already been of that +body. + + C. + + +DR. ELRINGTON'S EDITIONS OF USSHER'S WORKS. + +(Vol. iii., p. 496.) + +In reply to your correspondent C. PAINE, JUN. I beg to say that this +University has recently requested me to undertake the completion of +Ussher's works. Dr. Elrington has left about half the fourteenth volume +printed off: but I have found considerable difficulty in ascertaining +what he intended to print, or what ought to be printed, in the remaining +half. The printed portion contains the archbishop's Theological +Lectures, in reply to Bellarmine, never before published.[2] I have +found amongst Dr. Elrington's papers a volume of sermons (a MS. of the +latter half of the seventeenth century), which are attributed, in the +MS. itself, to Ussher; but the authenticity of these sermons is, it +appears to me, very doubtful. I therefore hesitate to print them. + + [Footnote 2: Elrington's Life of _Ussher_, p. 26.] + +I am anxious to find a treatise on the Seventy Weeks, by Ussher, which I +have some reason to think once existed in MS. This tract, with another +on the question of the Millennium, from Rev. xx. 4., formed the +exercises which he performed for the degree of D.D., at the commencement +of the University in 1612: and I remember Dr. Elrington telling me (if I +did not mistake his meaning), that he intended to print them in the +fourteenth volume. My difficulty is, that I cannot find them amongst +Ussher's MSS., and I do not know where they are to be had. Some +imperfect fragments on the Seventy Weeks are preserved in MS. in Trinity +College Library, in Ussher's autograph; but they are far too crude and +unfinished for publication. + +The _Bibliotheca Theologica_, a work on the same plan as Cave's +_Scriptores Ecclesiastici_, exists in MS. in the Bodleian Library, and a +copy from the Bodleian MS. is in Dublin. This work has not been included +in Dr. Elrington's edition; and I remember his discussing the subject +with me, and deciding not to print it. His reasons were these:--1. It is +an unfinished work, which the archbishop did not live to complete. 2. It +is full of errors, which our present increased materials and knowledge +of the subject would easily enable us to correct; but the correction of +them would swell the work to a considerable extent. 3. The work was +used, and is frequently quoted by Cave, who seems to have published the +most valuable parts of it. Its publication, therefore, would not add +anything to our knowledge, whilst it would probably detract, however +unfairly, from the archbishop's reputation: for the public seldom make +allowances for an unfinished work. 4. It would probably make _three_, if +not _four_ volumes; and Dr. Elrington did not think its publication of +sufficient importance to warrant so great an addition to the cost and +bulk of the Works. + +The _System of Theology_ having been disclaimed by Ussher himself +(although it is quoted as his by the Committee of the Privy Council in +their decision of the "Gorham Case"), has not been included by Dr. +Elrington in the collection of Ussher's works. + +I shall be much obliged to MR. PAYNE, or to any other of your +correspondents, if he will give me any information respecting the +treatises on the Seventy Weeks and on the Millennium, or any other +advice which may assist me in the completion of the fourteenth volume. + +I may add, that it is my intention, with the able assistance of my +learned friend Dr. Reeves, of Ballymena, to print a complete index to +Ussher's Works, which will be compiled by Dr. Reeves, and is now in +active preparation. The references to the more important works, such as +the _Primordia_, and _Annals_, will be so contrived as to be applicable +to the old editions, as well as to Dr. Elrington's edition. This Index +will form the seventeenth volume of the Works. + + JAMES H.

The forms of the small "p" and +"q" in the Roman type, have always been puzzling to the child and the +printer's apprentice. In the one, the down-ward stroke is on the left of +the oval; in the other, on the right. Now, when the types are reversed, +as they are when in the process of distribution they are returned by the +compositor to his case, the mind of the young printer is puzzled to +distinguish the "p" from the "q." In sorting _pie_, or a mixed heap of +letters, where the "p" and the "q" are not in connexion with any other +letters forming a word, I think it would be almost impossible for an +inexperienced person to say which is which upon the instant. "Mind your +_p_'s and _q_'s"--I write it thus, and not "Mind your P's and Q's"--has +a higher philosophy than mind your _toupees_ and your _queues_, which +are things essentially different, and impossible to be mistaken. It +means, have regard to small differences; do not be deceived by apparent +resemblances; learn to discriminate between things essentially distinct, +but which look the same; be observant; be cautious. + + CHARLES KNIGHT. + +_Serius Seriadesque_ (Vol. iii., p. 494.).--Il Serio, a tributary to the +Adda, which falls into the Po.

I have a note of Charles Montagu, writing of her as +"the beautiful, witty, and accomplished Catharine Barton," and have +marked her as the daughter of Major Barton, but cannot find my +authority. What follows is hardly likely to be of use to your +correspondent, though it may, possibly, suggest to him a channel of +inquiry. The Rev. Alexander Chalmers married Catharine Ekins, a niece of +Mr. Conduitt, to whose daughter he was guardian after her father's +death. Mrs. Chalmers had a brother who was rector or vicar of Barton, +Northamptonshire. Alexander Chalmers was rector of St. Katharine +Coleman, London, and of Burstow, Surrey; clerk of St. Andrew's, Holborn; +chaplain to the forces at Gibraltar and Port Mahon: he died in 1745, and +was buried in St. Katharine's: his wife was of the family of Ekins, of +Rushden, in Northamptonshire. On August 12, 1743, Alexander Chalmers +writes, "This will be delivered you by my cousin Lieut. Mathew Barton," +probably his wife's cousin: in another letter he speaks of Miss Conduitt +as his wife's cousin. Mr. Conduitt died 23rd of May, 1737, and his +widow's "unexpected death" seems to be alluded to in a letter in 1740. + + DE CAMERA. + +_Alterius Orbis Papa_ (Vol. iii., p. 497.).--This was not, as A.B.'s +informant thinks, a title of honour bestowed by any Supreme Pontiff upon +any Archbishop of Canterbury, but a mere verbal compliment passed by +Pope Urban II. upon St. Anselm, when the latter went to consult the +former at Rome. The words are those of Gervase, the monk of Canterbury, +who tells us: + + "Tantam ejus gratiam habuit, ut eum (Anselmum) alterius orbis + papam vocaret (Urbanus papa)."--Ed. _Twysden_, ii. 1327. + +Eadmer, who was with the archbishop when he went to Italy, gives the +following as the Pope's expressions: + + "Cumque illum, utpote hominem cunctis liberalium artium + disciplinis innutritum, pro magistro teneamus et quasi comparem, + velut alterius orbis Apostolicum et Patriarcham jure venerandum + censeamus."--_AA.

The name of Hugh Toot_le_ is recognised in the +prospectus or announcement of Mr. Tierney's new edition of Dodd's +_Church History of England_, of which the first and second volumes +appeared so long ago as 1839: but I regret to say that the work is yet +far from being completed. + + F. R. A. + +"_Prenzie_" (Vol. iii., p. 522.).--We seem now to have got to the true +reading, "primzie." The termination _zie_ suits a Scotch word perhaps. +I only wish to mention, that the form "prin" is connected with the verb +"to preen," which we use of birds. Yet that again seems connected with +_prune_. Etymology is always in a circle. + + C. B. + +"_In Print_" (Vol. iii., p. 500.).--In confirmation of the statement +made as to the expression "in print" meaning "with exactness," &c., I +perfectly remember an old Somersetshire servant of our's, who used to +say, when he saw me romping after I was dressed: "Take care, Sir, you'll +put your hair _out of print_." + + C. W. B. + +_Introduction of Reptiles into Ireland_ (Vol. iii., p. 491.).--The +snakes introduced into the county of Down in 1831, alluded to by +EIRIONNACH, were the very harmless and easily tamed species, _Coluber +natrix_ of Linnaeus, _Natrix torquata_ of Ray. They were purchased in +Covent Garden Market; and, to the number of six, were turned out in the +garden of Rath Gael House. One was killed at Milecross, three miles +distant, about a week after its liberation; and three others were +shortly afterwards killed in the same neighbourhood. The fate of the +remaining two is unknown, but there can be little doubt that they were +also killed, as the country-people offered a considerable reward for +their destruction. The writer well remembers the consternation and +exceedingly angry feelings caused by this _novel importation_. + +We may conclude, that though the snake is not indigenous to Ireland, yet +there is nothing in either the soil or climate to prevent its +naturalisation. It is highly probable that an insular position is +unfavourable to the spread of the serpent tribe. Other islands--New +Zealand, for instance--as well as Ireland, have no native _Ophidia_. + +It is generally, but erroneously, believed that there are no toads in +Ireland. The Natter-jack (_Bufo calamita_), a closely allied species to +the common toad, is found about Killarney. Can any reader inform me if +there is any record of its introduction? + + W. PINKERTON. + +_Ancient Wood Engraving of the Picture of Cebes_ (Vol. iii., pp. 277. +436.).--Your correspondent THE HERMIT OF HOLYPORT having been informed +respecting the _subject_ of his wood-cut, may yet be further satisfied +to know its date, and where it is to be found. It occurs in a Latin +version of the _Pinax_, with a commentary by Justus Velsius, printed in +4to., at Lyons? (Lugduni) in 1551. The title runs thus: _Justi Velseri +Hagani, in Cebetis Thebani Tabulam Commentariorum Libri Sex, Totius +Moralis Philosophiae Thesaurus._ The _Pinax_ commonly accompanies that +valuable little manual the _Enchiridion_ of Epictetus, of which that +excellent man John Evelyn, in a letter to Lord Cornbury, thus speaks: + + "Besides the Divine precepts, I could never receive anything from + Philosophy that was able to add a graine to my courage upon the + intellectual assaults like that _Enchiridion_ and little weapon of + Epictetus: 'Nunquam te quicquam perdidisse dicito, sed + reddidisse,' says he: 'Filius obijt? redditus est.' It is in his + 15th chapter. You cannot imagine what that little target will + encounter. _I never go abroad without it in my pocket._ What an + incomparable guard is that: [Greek: ta de ouk eph' hemin], cap. + i., where he discourses of the things which _are_, and _are not_ + in our power. I know, my Lord, you employ your retirements nobly; + weare this defensive for my sake,--I had almost said this + _Christian Office_." + + S. W. SINGER. + +"_The Groves of Blarney_" (Vol. iii., p. 495.).--In a little volume of +the _Songs of Ireland_, forming one of the series called Duffy's +_Library of Ireland_, Dublin, 1845, this song is given. In the +introductory notice it is said to be by Mr. R. A. Milliken, a native of +Cork. The passage referred to by your correspondent stands thus in this +version, which is said to be taken from Croker's _Popular Songs of +Ireland_:-- + + "There's statues gracing + This noble place in-- + All heathen gods, + And nymphs so fair; + Bold Neptune, Plutarch, + And Nicodemus, + All standing naked + In the open air!" + +Mr. Maloney, in his late account of the "palace made o' windows," has +evidently had these verses in his mind; and in his observations on the +"statues gracing _that_ noble place in," has adverted to their like +peculiar predicament with the characteristic modesty of his nation. + + S. H. + +On this subject permit me to observe that a change has "come o'er the +spirit of its dream." A later poet, in celebrating the praises of the +lake as the only place unchanged, says: + + "Sweet Blarney Castle, that was _wanst_ so ancient, + Is gone to ruin, och! and waste, and bare + Neptune and Plutarch is by Mrs. Deane[3] sent + To Ballintemple, to watch praties there." + + [Footnote 3: Now Lady Deane.] + + JUNIOR. + +_Tennyson's Lord of Burleigh_ (Vol. iii., p. 493.).--The poem of "The +Lord of Burleigh" is founded upon a supposed romance connected with the +marriage of the late Marquis of Exeter with his second wife, Miss +Hoggins. This marriage has also formed the groundwork of a play entitled +_The Lord of Burghley_, published by Churton in 1845. The story of the +courtship and marriage perpetuated by this poem, may be found in the +_Illustrated London News_ of the 16th November, 1844, having been +copied into that paper from the _Guide to Burghley House_, pp. 36., +published by Drakard in 1812. + +A very slight tinge of romance attends the real facts of this union, +which took place when the late Marquis was Mr. Henry Cecil. The lady was +not of so lowly an origin as the fiction relates. Mr. Cecil did not +become the Lord of Burghley until the death of his uncle, the 9th Earl +of Exeter, two years after this marriage, up to which time he resided at +Bolas, Salop, the residence of his wife before her marriage, and there +the two eldest of their _four_ children were born. The Countess of +Exeter died greatly beloved and respected at the early age of +twenty-four, having been married nearly seven years. + + J. P. JUN. + +_Bicetre_ (Vol. iii., p. 518.)--It was certainly anciently called +Vincestre. It is so in Monstrelet, whose history begins about 1400. One +of the treaties between the Burgundians and Orleanists was made there. +President Henault says (under Charles VI.) that this castle belonged to +John, Bishop of Winchester. If he is right in the Christian name, he +must mean _had_ belonged, not _appartenoit_, for the John Bishops that I +find in Britton's list are: + + Elected. Died. + John of Oxon 1261 1267 + John de Pontessara 1282 1304 + John de Sandale 1316 1319 + John de Stratford 1323 1333 + + C. B. + +_On a Passage in Dryden_ (Vol. iii., p. 492.).--MR. BREEN appears to me +decidedly wrong in the view he takes of the passage he quotes from +Dryden. In the first place, he commits the mistake of assuming that +Dryden is expressing his own opinion, or speaking in his own person. The +fact is, however, that the speaker is Torresmond. Torresmond is "mad" +enough to love the queen; he has already spoken of the "madness of his +high attempt," he says he raves; and when the queen offers to give him +counsel for his cure, he says he wishes _not_ be cured: + + "There is a pleasure, _sure_, + In being mad, which none but madmen know!" + +This is inference, not assertion. Whether it be natural or not, I will +not say, but I can see no blunder. + + S. H. + +_Derivation of Yankee_ (Vol. iii., p. 461.).--Washington Irving, in his +_Knickerbocker's History of New York_, gives the same derivation of +"Yankee" that is quoted from Dr. Turnbull and from Mr. Richmond. +Irving's authority is, I believe, earlier than both these. Is the +derivation his? and if his, is he in earnest in giving it? I ask this, +not because I have reason to doubt in this instance either his +seriousness or his philological accuracy, but by way of inserting a +caution on behalf of the unwary. I have read or heard of a learned +German who quoted that book as veritable history. The philology may be +as baseless as the narrative. It is a happy suggestion of a derivation +at all events, be it in jest or in earnest. + + E. J. S. + +_Ferrante Pallavicino_ (Vol. iii., pp. 478. 523.).--Your correspondent +CHARLES O'SOULEY will find some account of Ferrante Pallavicino in +Chalmers, or any other biographical dictionary; and a very complete one +in the _Dictionnaire Historique_ of Prosper Marchand. The manuscript he +possesses has been printed more than once; it first appeared in the +_Opere Scelte di Ferrante Pallavicino_ printed at Geneva, but with the +imprint Villafranca, 1660, 12mo., of which there are several +reimpressions. It is there entitled _La Disgratia del Conte D'Olivares_, +and bears the fictitious subscription of "Madrid li 28 Gennaro, 1643," +at the end. If the MS. was written at Genoa, it is most probably only a +transcript; for Pallavicino was resident at Venice when it appears to +have been written, and was soon after trepanned by a vile caitiff named +Charles de Bresche _alias_ De Morfu, a Frenchman employed by the Pope's +nuncio Vitellio, into the power of those whom his writings had incensed, +and was by them put to death at Avignon in 1644. + + S. W. SINGER. + + + + +Miscellaneous. + + +NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. + +The reputation which Mr. Foss acquired as a diligent investigator of +legal antiquities, and an impartial biographer of those who have won for +themselves seats on the woolsack or the bench, by the publication of the +first two volumes of his _Judges of England, with Sketches of their +Lives, and Miscellaneous Notices connected with the Courts at +Westminster from the time of the Conquest_, will be more than confirmed +by the third and fourth volumes, which have just been issued. In these, +which are devoted to the Judges who flourished between the years 1272 +and 1485--that is to say, from the reign of Edward I. to that of Richard +III. inclusive, Mr. Foss has added 473 to his former list of 580 Judges; +and when we say, that every biography shows with what diligence, and we +may add with what intelligence, Mr. Foss has waded through all available +sources of information, including particularly the voluminous +publications of the late Record Commission, we have done more than +sufficient to justify our opening statement, and to recommend his work +to the favourable notice of all lovers of historical truth. To the +general reader the surveys of the reigns, in which Mr. Foss points out +not only everything remarkable connected with the law, but the gradual +development of our legal system, will be by no means the least +attractive portion of his book; while his endeavours to trace the +successive institution of the several Inns of Court and Chancery, and +also of the three different Inns occupied by the Judges and Serjeants, +will be found of great interest to the topographical antiquary. + +Messrs.

It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

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