+
+If the "NOTES AND QUERIES," in the course of its career, had only called
+the attention of antiquaries to the necessities of collecting epitaphs
+and inscriptions to the dead found in churches, and thus brought into
+active exertion a large number of zealous and intelligent recorders of
+monuments, its usefulness would have been fully established; but the
+multitude of suggestive hints and recommendations constantly appearing
+in its pages, added to the great amount of precise and unquestionable
+knowledge given to the public through its means, have established the
+publication as of the greatest importance to archæologists, and literary
+men generally.
+
+A noble and highly regarded author (Lord Braybrooke) has recently shown
+the necessity for recording the existence of painted historical
+portraits, scattered, as we know they are, throughout residences of the
+nobility and gentry, and from thence too often descending to the humble
+dwelling or broker's warehouse, through the effluxion of time, the ill
+appreciation, in some instances, of those who possess them, or the
+urgencies of individuals: but there are other memorials of eminent
+persons extant, frequently the only ones, which, falling into the
+possession of but few persons, are to the seeker after biographical or
+topographical knowledge, for the most part, as though they had never
+existed. I allude to Privately Printed Books and Privately Engraved
+Portraits. Surely these might be made available to literary persons if
+their depository were generally known.
+
+How comparatively easy would it be for the readers of the "NOTES AND
+QUERIES," in each county, to transmit to its pages a short note of any
+privately engraved portrait, or privately printed volume, of which they
+may be possessed, or of which they have a perfect knowledge. Collectors
+could in most instances, if they felt inclined to open their stores,
+give the required information in a complete list, and no doubt would do
+so; but still a great assistance to those engaged in the toils of
+biographical or other study could be afforded by the transmission to
+these pages of the casual "Note," which happens to have been taken at a
+moment when the book or portrait passed under the inspection of a
+recorder who did not amass graphic or literary treasures.
+
+As respects some counties, much less has been done by the printing press
+to furnish this desideratum; at least that of privately engraved
+portraits. In Warwickshire, a list of all the portraits (with a few
+omissions) has within a few years been brought before the public in a
+volume. In Norfolk, the _Illustrations of Norfolk Topography_, a volume
+containing an enumeration of many thousand drawings and engravings,
+collected by Dawson Turner, Esq., of Great Yarmouth, to illustrate
+Blomefield's History of the county, is also a repertory of this kind of
+instruction, as far as portraits are concerned. Privately printed books
+are entirely unrecorded in this and most other localities. Without the
+publication now mentioned, persons having no personal knowledge of Mr.
+Turner's ample stores would be not only unacquainted with that
+gentleman's wonderful Norfolk collection, but also ignorant that through
+his liberality, and the elegant genius and labours of several members of
+his family, the portfolios of many of his friends have been enriched by
+the addition of portraits of many persons of great virtues, attainments,
+and learning, with whom he had become acquainted. In Suffolk, the
+veteran collectors, Mr. Elisha Davy, of Ufford, and Mr. William Fitch,
+of Ipswich, have compiled lists of portraits belonging to that county.
+These are, however, in manuscript, and therefore comparatively useless;
+though, to the honour of both these gentlemen let it be said, that no
+one ever asks in vain for assistance from their collections.
+
+I trust it can only be necessary to call attention to this source of
+knowledge, to be supported in a view of the necessity of a record open
+to all. I have taken the liberty to name the "NOTES AND QUERIES" as the
+storehouse for gathering these scattered memorabilia together, knowing
+no means of permanence superior, or more convenient, to literary
+persons, although I am not without fears indeed, perhaps convictions,
+that your present space would be too much burthened thereby.
+
+As the volume of "NOTES AND QUERIES" just completed has comprised a
+large amount of intelligence respecting the preservation of epitaphs,
+the present would, perhaps, be appropriately opened by a new subject of,
+I am inclined to think, nearly equal value.

+
+
+SARDONIC SMILES.
+
+A few words on the Γέλως σαρδάνιος, or Sardonius Risus, so
+celebrated in antiquity, may not be amiss, especially as the expression
+"a Sardonic smile" is a common one in our language.
+
+We find this epithet used by several Greek writers; it is even as old as
+_Homer's_ time, for we read in the _Odyssey_, μείδησε δὲ θυμῷ σαρδάνιον
+μάλα τοῖον, "but he laughed in his soul a very bitter laugh."
+The word was written indifferently σαρδάνιος and
+σαρδόνιος; and some lexicographers derive it from the verb
+σαίρω, of σέσηρα, "to show the teeth, grin like a dog:"
+especially in scorn or malice. The more usual derivation is from
+σαρδόνιον, a plant of Sardinia (Σαρδώ), which was said to
+distort the face of the eater. In the English of the present day, a
+Sardonic laugh means a derisive, fiendish laugh, full of bitterness and
+mocking; stinging with insult and rancour. Lord Byron has hit it off in
+his portraiture of the Corsair, Conrad:
+
+      "There was a laughing devil in his sneer,
+      That rais'd emotions both of _rage_ and _fear_."
+
+In Izaak Walton's ever delightful _Complete Angler_, Venator, on coming
+to Tottenham High Cross, repeats his promised verse: "it is a copy
+printed among some of Sir Henry Wotton's, and doubtless made either by
+him or by a lover of angling." Here is the first stanza:--
+
+          "Quivering fears, heart-tearing cares,
+          Anxious sighs, untimely tears,
+              Fly, fly to courts,
+              Fly to fond worldlings' sports,
+      Where strained _Sardonic_ smiles are glosing still,
+      And Grief is forced to laugh against her will;
+          Where mirth's but mummery,
+          And sorrows only real be."
+
+In Sir J. Hawkins's edition is the following note on the word "Sardonic"
+in these lines:
+
+  "Feigned, or forced smiles, from the word _Sardon_, the name of an
+  herb resembling smallage, and growing in Sardinia, which, being
+  eaten by men, contracts the muscles, and excites laughter even to
+  death. Vide _Erasmi Adagia_, tit. RISUS."
+
+_Sardonic_, in this passage, means "forced, strained, unusual,
+artificial;" and is not taken in the worst sense. These lines of Sir H.
+Wotton's bring to mind some of Lorenzo de Medici's in a platonic poem of
+his, when he contrasts the court and country. I quote Mr. Roscoe's
+translation:--
+
+      "What the heart thinks, the tongue may here disclose,
+      Nor inward grief with outward smiles is drest;
+      Not like the world--where wisest he who knows
+      To hide the secret closest in his breast."
+
+The _Edinburgh Review_, July, 1849, in an article on Tyndale's
+_Sardinia_, says:
+
+  "The _Sardonic smile_, so celebrated in antiquity, baffles
+  research much more than the _intemperie_, nor have modern
+  physiologists thrown any light on the nature of the deleterious
+  plant which produces it. The tradition at least seems still to
+  survive in the country, and Mr. Tyndale adduces some evidence to
+  show that the _Ranunculus sceleratus_ was the herb to which these
+  exaggerated qualities were ascribed. Some insular antiquaries have
+  found a different solution of the ancient proverb. The ancient
+  Sardinians, they say, like many barbarous tribes, used to get rid
+  of their relations in extreme old age by throwing them alive into
+  deep pits; which attention it was the fashion for the venerable
+  objects of it to receive with great expressions of _delight_:
+  whence the saying of a Sardinian laugh (vulgo), laughing on the
+  wrong side of ones mouth. It seems not impossible, that the
+  phenomenon may have been a result of the effects of 'Intemperie'
+  working on weak constitutions, and in circumstances favourable to
+  physical depression--like the epidemic chorea, and similar
+  complaints, of which such strange accounts are read in medical
+  books."

+
+
+PRIVATE AMOURS OF OLIVER CROMWELL.
+
+I know nothing more of the enclosed, than that I found it with the MS.
+which I lately sent you on the subject of Cromwell's "Dealings with the
+Devil" (Vol. iii., p. 282.).
+
+I should conclude it to be a carelessly-made transcript of a
+contemporary MS., the production, probably, of some warm royalist, who
+may, or may not, have had some grounds for his assertions. At all
+events, it gives a few curious details, and, in its general outline,
+agrees singularly with the incidents on which Mrs. Behn's play, _The
+Round Heads; or The Good Old Cause_, is founded: sufficiently so to give
+it at least an air of authenticity, so far as the popular belief of the
+day was concerned.
+
+    S. H. H.
+
+  "After Cromwell had been declared General of the Commonwealth's
+  Forces, he seized the possessions of the Royalists, who had
+  escaped his implacable resentment; and the New Hall fell to the
+  share of the Usurper, who, flushed with the victory of Worcester,
+  disposed at pleasure of the forsaken seates of the noble
+  Fugitives, who still supported Charles II.'s Drooping Standards;
+  and adding insulte to oppression, commanded the domesticks of the
+  Duke of Buckingham to follow their master's desperate fortune, and
+  to carry him five shillings, which he might want in his exile, for
+  the purchase of a Lordship, whose yearly value exceeded then
+  1300_l._ Cromwell kept possession of New Hall till he assumed the
+  title of Protector, and was instaled at White Hall, in the Pallace
+  of the English Kings: Then he chose Hampton Court for his Summer
+  Residence. He led at New Hall an obscure life, without pomp,
+  without luxury, having but two servants in his retinue. Though his
+  manners were natuaraly austere, he had some private amoures, which
+  he indulged with great Caution and Secrecy. His favourites were
+  General Lambert's wife and Major-General Vernon's sister: the
+  first was a well-bred, genteel woman, fatheless to her husband
+  from natural aversion, and attached to Cromwell from a conformity
+  of inclination in a mysterious enjoyment and stolen embraces, with
+  mask of religious deportment and severe virtue: the other was a
+  person made to inspire lust and desire, but selfish, revengfull,
+  and indiscreet. These too rivals heartily detested each other:
+  Mrs. Lambert reproached Cromwell for his affection to a worthless,
+  giddy, and wanton woman; and Mrs. Vernon laughed at him for being
+  the dupe of the affected fondness and hipocry of an artful
+  Mistress. They once met at the house of Colonel Hammond, a
+  Creature of Cromwell's, and reviled each other with the most
+  virulent sarcasms. Mrs. Lambert, fired with rage and resentment,
+  went immediately to New Hall, where Oliver was at that juncture,
+  and insisted upon her Rival's dismission for her unprovoked
+  outrage. Cromwell, who was then past the meridian of voluptuous
+  sensations, sacrificed the person he was no longer fit to enjoy,
+  to a woman who had gained his esteem and confidence, and delegated
+  to Mrs. Lambert all the domestic concerns of his house in Essex.
+  Cromwell's wife, called afterwards the Protectress, was a sober
+  helpmate, who, dressed in humble stuff, like a Quaker, neither
+  interfered in his amours or politics. She never went to New Hall
+  but once, and that was on the 25th of April, 1652, when he invited
+  all his family to a grand entertainment on account of his
+  Birthday. The other Guests were, his mother, who survived his
+  elevation to the Protectorship: she was a virtuous woman of the
+  name of Stewart, related to the Royall Family; Desborough, his
+  brother-in law; and Fleetwood, who had married his daughter; his
+  Eldest Son, Richard, a man of an inoffensive and unambitious
+  Character, who had been married some years, and lived in the
+  country on a small estate which he possessed in right of his wife,
+  where he spent his time in acts of benevolence: at the trial of
+  Charles I. he fell on his knees and conjured his Father in the
+  most pathetic manner to spare the life of his Sovereign; his
+  brother Henry, afterwards Govonor of Ireland, where he was
+  universally beloved for his mild administration; Mrs. Claypole,
+  the darling of her father; and his three other daughters: Mrs.
+  Rich, married to the Grandson and heir of the Earl of Warwick;
+  Lady Falconbridge; and the Youngest, who lived in celibacy. They
+  spent a week at New Hall, in innocent mirth and jollity; Oliver
+  himself joining in convivial pleasure with his children,
+  disengaged the whole time from state affairs and Political
+  Speculations.
+
+  "His constant visitors at New Hall were some Regicides, and the
+  meanest, lowest, and most ignorant among the Citizens on whome he
+  had decreed that the Sovereign power should be vested. To excell
+  in Fanaticism seemed a necessary qualification in this new
+  parliment; and Oliver foresaw that they would soon throw up the
+  reins of Government, which they were unqualified to guide, and
+  raise himself to an unlimited power far beyond that of former
+  Kings.
+
+  "It seems Mrs. Lambert continued to reside at New Hall during
+  Cromwell's Protectorship, and that Col. Wite, his trusty friend,
+  was often sent with kind messages and preasants from Oliver, who
+  travelled himself in the night, with hurry and precipitation, to
+  enjoy with her some moments of domestic comfort and tranquility."
+
+
+SPURIOUS EDITION OF BAILY'S ANNUITIES.
+
+In the course of last year a curious and impudent bibliographical fraud
+was perpetrated by some parties unknown. I am not aware that it has been
+publicly exposed as yet.
+
+The celebrated work on annuities, by the late Francis Baily, was
+published in 1810 by Richardson, and printed by Richard Taylor. It was
+at first in one volume: but on the publication of an appendix in 1813,
+two titles were printed with this last date, and the stock then
+remaining was sold in two volumes. As the book became scarce, it
+gradually rose in price, until, when by a rare chance a copy came to the
+hammer, it seldom fetched less than five guineas. This price was
+lowered, as well by the general decline in the price of old books, as
+by the sale of Mr. Baily's own library in 1844, which threw a few copies
+into the market; but the work was still saleable at more than the
+original price. In the course of last year, copies, as it was pretended,
+of the original edition were offered at the assurance offices, and to
+individuals known to be interested in the subject, at twenty-five
+shillings. Some were taken in, others saw the trick at once. There has
+been, in fact, a reprint without any statement of the circumstance, and
+without a printer's name; but with a strong, and, on the whole,
+successful attempt at imitation of the peculiar typography of the work.
+If the execution had been as good as the imitation, the success would
+have been greater. But this is wretchedly bad, and will amuse those who
+know how very particular Mr. Baily always was in his superintendence of
+the press, and how plainly his genuine works bear the marks of it.
+
+The spurious edition may be known at once by the title-page, in which
+the words "an appendix" are printed in open letter, which is not the
+case in the original. Also by "Leienitz," instead of "Leibnitz" in page
+xi. of the preface. Also by the Greek letter [Greek delta rotated 180
+degrees] throughout, which is, in the spurious edition, never anything
+but an inverted δ, which looks as if it were trying to kick
+backwards.
+
+In all probability, the agents in this shabby trick are beneath reproof;
+but it is desirable that the reputation of the author whom they have
+chosen for its object should not suffer from the effects of their
+misprint. And as the work they have appropriated is only used by a small
+public, and a reading one, the mode of exposure which I here adopt will
+probably be sufficient.
+
+The spurious edition is now on the stalls at a few shillings; and, as a
+curiosity, will be worth its price.

+Minor Notes.
+
+_Les Anguilles de Melun._--"Les anguilles de Melun crient avant qu'on
+les écorche" is a well-known proverb in that town; and as some of your
+readers may be curious to learn the circumstances in which it
+originated, I send them to you for "NOTES AND QUERIES."
+
+According to the traditions of the Church, Saint Bartholomew was flayed
+alive, and his skin rolled up and tied to his back. When the religious
+dramas, called _Mysteries_, came into vogue, this martyrdom was
+represented on the stage at Melun, and the character of the saint was
+personated by one _Languille_. In the course of the performance, the
+executioner, armed with a knife, made his appearance; and as he
+proceeded to counterfeit the operation of flaying, Languille became
+terrified and uttered the most piteous cries, to the great amusement of
+the spectators. The audience thereupon exclaimed, "Languille crie avant
+qu'on l'écorche;" and hence the "jeu de mots," and the proverb.

+
+_Derivation of Mews._--
+
+"Muette. C'est le nom qu'on donne à un Edifice élevé au bout d'un parc
+de maison royale ou seigneuriale, pour servir de logement aux officiers
+de la venerie, et dans lequel il y a aussi des Chenils, des cours,
+écuries, &c. Ce terme _Muette_, vient, dit-on, de _Mue_, parceque c'est
+dans ces maisons que les Gardes, et autres officiers de chasse,
+apportent les _Mues_ ou bois que les Cerfs quittent et laissent dans les
+Forêts."--Lacombe, _Dictionnaire portatif des Beaux Arts, &c._ Nouvelle
+Edition: Paris, 1759.
+
+Is this a better explanation of the English word _mews_ than has
+generally been given by writers?

+
+_Curious Monumental Inscriptions._--In the south aisle of Martham
+Church, Norfolk, are two slabs, of which one, nearly defaced, bears the
+following inscription:
+
+      Here Lyeth
+      The Body of Christo
+      Burraway, who departed
+      this Life ye 18 day
+      of October, Anno Domini
+      1730.
+      Aged 59 years.
+
+      And there Lyes [pointing hand symbol]
+      Alice who by hir Life
+      Was my Sister, my mistres
+      My mother and my wife.
+      Dyed Feb. ye 12. 1729.
+      Aged 76 years.
+
+The following explanation is given of this enigmatical statement.
+Christopher Burraway was the fruit of an incestuous connexion between a
+father and daughter, and was early placed in the Foundling Hospital,
+from whence, when he came of age, he was apprenticed to a farmer. Coming
+in after years by chance to Martham, he was hired unwittingly by his own
+mother as farm steward, her father (or rather the father of both) being
+dead. His conduct proving satisfactory to his mistress she married him
+who thus became, successively, mother, sister, mistress, and wife, to
+this modern OEdipus. The episode remains to be told. Being discovered by
+his wife to be her son, by a peculiar mark on his shoulder, she was so
+horror-stricken that she soon after died, he surviving her scarcely four
+months. Of the other slab enough remains to show that it covered her
+remains; but the registers from 1729 to 1740 are unfortunately missing
+so that I cannot trace the family further.
+
+    E. S. T.
+
+_First Panorama_ (Vol. iii., p. 526.).--I remember when a boy going to
+see that panorama. I was struck with "the baker knocking at the door, in
+Albion Place, and wondered the man did not _move!_" But this could not
+have been the first (though it might have been the first publicly
+exhibited), if what is told of Sir Joshua Reynolds be true, that, having
+held that the painting of a panorama was a "thing impossible," on the
+sight of it he exclaimed--"This is the triumph of perspective!" I have
+frequently met with this anecdote.

+_Vermuyden._--I wish very much to obtain a portrait, painted or

+_Principle of Notation by Coalwhippers, &c._--I shall feel much obliged
+to any of your readers who can inform me whether the principle adopted
+by the coalwhippers on the river Thames, and by the seafaring class in
+general, is adopted by any other class in these islands, or particularly
+in the North of Europe.
+
+This principle may be thus explained, viz.:
+
+1. A set of four perpendicular, equal, and equidistant straight lines
+are cut by a diagonal line, which runs from _right_ to _left_; that is
+to say, from the higher end of the fourth line to the lower extremity of
+the first line. This diagonal then represents number 5, and completes
+the scale or tally of 5.
+
+2. A similar set of four lines are cut by another diagonal, which passes
+from _left_ to _right_, or from the higher extremity of number one, to
+the lower extremity of number four. The diagonal thus completes the
+second score or tally for number 5.
+
+The two fives are marked or scored separately, and the diagonals thus
+form a series of alternations, which, when repeated, form a scale of
+ten, the tally of the _coalwhippers_.
+
+The "navvies" of the railroads carry this principle somewhat further.
+They form a cross with two diagonals on the perpendiculars, and count
+for ten; then, by repeating the process, they have a division into tens,
+and count by two tens, or a score.

+
+With regard to Mathew de Bitton, he was son and heir of John de Bitton

+parish of Bitton, Gloucestershire, at a place afterwards called "Barre's
+Court," from Sir John Barre, who married Joan, the great-granddaughter
+of the said Mathew. The house abutted on the Chace of Kingswood.
+
+In the 48th of Edward III. a writ was issued, to inquire who were the
+destroyers of the deer and game in his Majesty's Chace, when it was
+found that Mathew de Bitton was "Communis malefactor de venasione Dom.
+Regis in Chacia predicta." It was proved that he had killed thirty-seven
+deer! After much difficulty, he was brought before the justiciaries,
+when he acknowledged all his transgressions, and placed himself at the

+ambassador, being compelled to substitute the word "amity" for the word
+"concord" suspended in coloured lamps, in consequence of the irritated
+mob's determination to assault his house, unless the offensive word
+"concord" were removed, the said mob reading it as though it were
+spelled "conquered," and inferring thence that M. Otto intended to
+insinuate that John Bull was _conquered_ by France. The story, moreover,
+goes on to relate that the mob also insisted that the blazing initials
+G.R. should be surmounted by an illuminated crown. This anecdote,
+notwithstanding its embalmment in the _Annual Register_, has always
+borne in my eyes an apocryphal air. It assumes that the mob was ignorant
+and intellectual at the same moment; that whilst it was in a riotous
+mood it was yet in a temper to be reasoned with, and able to comprehend
+the reasons addressed to it. But one cannot help fancying that the
+mental calibre which understood "concord" to mean "conquered," would
+just as readily believe that "amity" meant "enmity," to say nought of
+its remarkable patience in waiting to see the changes dictated by itself
+carried out. This circumstance occurred, if at all, within the memory of

+PRINCESSES OF WALES.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 477.)
+
+The statement of Hume, that Elizabeth and Mary were created Princesses
+of Wales, rests, I am disposed to think, on most insufficient authority;
+and I am surprised that so illustrious an author should have made an
+assertion on such slender grounds, which carries on the face of it a
+manifest absurdity, and which was afterwards retracted by the very
+author from whom he borrowed it.
+
+Hume's authority is evidently Burnet's _History of the Reformation_;
+(indeed, in some editions your correspondent G. would have seen Burnet
+referred to) in which are the following passages (vol. i. p. 71., Oxford
+edition, 1829):
+
+  "The King, being out of hopes of more children, declared his
+  daughter (Mary) Princess of Wales, and sent her to Ludlow to hold
+  her court there, and projected divers matches for her."
+
+Again, p. 271.:
+
+  "Elizabeth was soon after declared Princess of Wales; though
+  lawyers thought that against law, for she was only heir
+  presumptive, but not apparent, to the crown, since a son coming
+  after he must be preferred. Yet the king would justify what he had
+  done in his marriage with all possible respect; and having before
+  declared the Lady Mary Princess of Wales, he did now the same in
+  favour of the Lady Elizabeth."
+
+Hume's statement is taken almost verbatim from this last passage of
+Burnet, who, however, it will be observed, does not say "created," but
+"declared" Princess of Wales; the distinction between which is obvious.
+He was evidently not aware that Burnet afterwards corrected this
+statement in an Appendix, entitled, "Some Mistakes in the first Portion
+of this History communicated to me by Mr. William Fulman, Rector of
+Hampton Meysey, in Gloucestershire." In this is the following note, in
+correction of the passages I have quoted (Burn. _Hist. Ref._, vol. iv.
+p. 578.):
+
+  "Here and in several other places it is supposed that the next
+  heir apparent of the crown was Prince of Wales. The heir apparent
+  of the crown is indeed prince, but not, strictly speaking, of
+  Wales, unless he has it given him by creation; and it is said that
+  there is nothing on record to prove that any of Henry's children
+  were ever created Prince of Wales. There are indeed some hints of
+  the Lady Mary's being styled Princess of Wales; for when a family
+  was appointed for her, 1525, Veysey, bishop of Exeter, her tutor,
+  was made president of Wales. She also is said to have kept her
+  house at Ludlow; and Leland says, that Tekenhill, a house in those
+  parts, built for Prince Arthur, was prepared for her. And Thomas
+  Linacre dedicates his _Rudiments of Grammar_ to her, by the title
+  of Princess of Cornwall and Wales."
+
+This is one of the many instances of the inaccuracy, carelessness, and
+(where his religious or political prejudices were not concerned)
+credulity of Burnet. Whatever he found written in any previous
+historian, unless it militated against his preconceived opinions, he
+received as true, without considering whether the writer was entitled to
+credit, and had good means of gaining information. Now, neither Hall,
+Holinshed, Polydore Virgil, nor (I think) Cardinal Pole, contemporary
+writers, say anything about Mary or Elizabeth being Princesses of Wales.
+The only writer I am acquainted with who does say any such thing,
+previous to Burnet, and whose authority I am therefore compelled to
+suppose the latter relied on, when he made the statement which he
+afterwards contradicted, is Pollini, an obscure Italian Dominican, who
+wrote a work entitled _L'Historia Ecclesiastica della Rivoluzion
+d'Inghilterra; Racolta da Gravissimi Scrittori non meno di quella
+Nazione, che dell' altri, da F. Girolamo Pollini dell' ordine de
+Predicatori, della Provincio de Toscana_: Roma, Facciotti, 1594. In book
+i. chapter ii. page 7. of this author is the following statement, which
+I translate, speaking of the Princess Mary:
+
+  "As the rightful heir of the throne she was declared by Henry, her
+  father, Princess of Wales, which is the ordinary title borne by
+  the first-born of the king; since the administration and
+  government of this province is allowed to no other, except to that
+  son or daughter of the king, to whom, by hereditary right, on the
+  death of the king the government of the realm falls.... In the
+  same way that the first-born of the French king is called the
+  Dauphin, so the first-born of the English king is called Prince of
+  Britain, or of Wales, which is a province of that large island,
+  lying to the west, and containing four bishoprics. Which Mary,
+  with the dignity and title of Princess, assisted by a most
+  illustrious senate, and accompanied by a splendid establishment,
+  administered with much prudence," &c.
+
+Pollini's history is, as may be supposed, of very little historical
+value; and one feels surprised that, on a point like the present, Burnet
+should have allowed himself to be misled by him. But still more
+remarkable, in my opinion, is the use Miss Strickland makes of this
+author. After several times giving him as her authority at the foot of
+the page, by the name of _Pollino_, but without giving the least
+information as to the name of his work, or who he was, she has the
+following note relating to the passage I have quoted (_Lives of the
+Queens of England_, vol. v. p. 156.):
+
+  "The Italian then carefully explains that the Princes of Wales
+  were in the same position, in regard to the English crown, as the
+  Dauphins were to that of France. Pollino must have had good
+  documentary evidence, since he describes Mary's council and court,
+  which he calls a senate, exactly as if the Privy Council books had
+  been open to him. _He says four bishops were attached to this
+  court._"
+
+It seems to one a singular mode of proving that Pollini must have had
+good documentary evidence, by saying that he speaks exactly and
+positively; and I would ask what _good_ documentary evidence would a
+Florentine friar be likely to have, who certainly never was in England,
+and in all probability never far from his convent? But it is the
+statement about the bishops that I wish more particularly to allude to,
+as I can find _no statement to that effect in Pollini_, and can only
+suppose that Miss Strickland misunderstood the passage (quoted above)
+where he says the province of Wales contains four bishoprics.
+
+I think I have now shown that Hume's statement rests on no sufficient
+grounds as to the authority from whence he derived it. But there is yet
+another reason against it, which is this: it would be necessary, before
+Elizabeth was created Princess of Wales, that Mary should be deprived of
+it; and this could only be done by a special act of parliament. But we
+find no act of such a nature passed in the reign of Henry VIII. There
+are other reasons also against it; but having, I think, said enough to
+show the want of any foundation for the assertion, I shall not trouble
+you any further.

+THE LATE MR. WILLIAM HONE.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 477.)
+
+In reply to the inquiry of E.V. relative to the conversion of the late
+Mr. William Hone, I send a slight reminiscence of him, which may perhaps
+be generally interesting to the readers of the _Every Day Book_. It was
+soon after the period when Mr. Hone (at the time afflicted both in "body
+and estate") began to acknowledge the truths of Christianity, that I
+accidentally had an interview with him, though a perfect stranger. Our
+conversation was brief, but it turned upon the adaptation of the
+Christian religion to the wants of man, in all the varied stations in
+which he may be placed on earth, independent of its assurance of a
+better state hereafter. With child-like meekness, and earnest sincerity,
+the once contemner and reviler of Christianity testified to me that all
+his hope for the future was in the great atonement made to reconcile
+fallen man to his Creator.
+
+Before we parted, I was anxious to possess his autograph, and asked him
+for it; as I had made some collection towards illustrating, his _Every
+Day Book_, to which it would have been no inconsiderable addition. After
+a moment of deep thought, he presented me with a slip of paper inscribed
+as follows, in his small and usual very neat hand:--
+
+      "'He that increaseth knowledge
+              increaseth sorrow.'[3]

+
+SHAKSPEARE'S "SMALL LATIN."--HIS USE OF "TRIPLE."
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 497.)
+
+In reference to the observations of A. E. B., I beg leave to say that,
+in speaking of Shakspeare as a man who had _small Latin_, I intended no
+irreverence to his genius. I am no worshipper of Shakspeare, or of any
+man; but I am willing to do full justice, and to pay all due veneration,
+to those powers which, with little aid from education, exalted their
+possessor to the heights of dramatic excellence.
+
+As to the extent of Shakspeare's knowledge of Latin, I think that it was
+well estimated by Johnson, when he said that "Shakspeare had Latin
+enough to grammaticize his English." Had he possessed much more than was
+sufficient for this purpose, Ben Jonson would hardly have called his
+knowledge of the language _small_; for about the signification of
+_small_ there can be no doubt, or about Ben's ability to determine
+whether it was small or not. But this consideration has nothing to do
+with the appreciation of Shakspeare's intellect: Shakspeare might know
+little of Latin and less of Greek, and yet be comparable to Æschylus,
+Sophocles, and Euripides; as Burns, who may be said to have known no
+Latin, is comparable, in many passages, even to Horace. "The great
+instrument of the man of genius," says Thomas Moore, "is his own
+language," which some knowledge of another language may assist him to
+wield, but to the wielding of which the knowledge of another language is
+by no means necessary. The great dramatists of Greece were, in all
+probability, entirely ignorant of any language but their own; but such
+ignorance did not incapacitate them from using their own with effect,
+nor is to be regarded as being, in any way, any detraction from their
+merits. Shakspeare had but a limited acquaintance with Latin, but such
+limited acquaintance caused no debilitation of his mental powers, nor is
+to be mentioned at all to his disparagement. I desire, therefore, to be
+acquitted, both by A. E. B. and by all your other readers, of
+entertaining any disrespect for Shakspeare's high intellectual powers.
+
+As to his usage of the word _triple_, that it is "fairly traced to
+Shakspeare's own reading" might not unreasonably be disputed. We may,
+however, concede, if A. E. B. wishes, that it was derived from his own
+reading, _as no trace of its being borrowed is to be found_. But I am
+not sure that if other writers had taken pains to establish this use of
+the word in our tongue, its establishment would have been much of a
+"convenient acquisition." Had any man who has three sisters, closely
+conjoined in bonds of amity, the privilege of calling any one of them a
+_triple sister_, I do not consider that he or his language would be
+much benefited. Ovid, I fear, employed _triplex_ "improperly," as
+Warburton says that Shakspeare employed _triple_, when he spoke of the
+Fates spinning _triplici pollice_. I cannot find that any writer has
+imitated him. To call the Fates _triplices deæ_ (_Met._ viii. 481.), or
+_triplices sorores_ (_Met._ viii. 453.), was justifiable; but to term
+any one of them _triplex dea_, or to speak of her as spinning _triplici
+fuso_ or _triplici pollice_, was apparently to go beyond what the Latin
+language warranted. A. E. B. rightly observes that _triple_ must be
+explained as signifying "belonging to three conjoined;" but the use of
+it in such a sense is not to be supported either by custom or reason,
+whether in reference to the Latin language or to our own.
+
+MR. SINGER, in his observations on "captious," has a very unlucky
+remark, which A. E. B. unluckily repeats--"We, no doubt, all know," says
+MR. SINGER, "by intuition as it were, what Shakspeare meant." If we all
+know Shakspeare's meaning by intuition, how is it that the "true
+worshippers of Shakspeare" dispute about his meaning?

+
+_Family of Etty, the Artist_ (Vol. iii., p. 496.).--"Mr. Etty, Sen., the
+architect," mentioned in the passage quoted by your correspondent from
+Thoresby's _Diary_, was John Etty, who died Jan. 28th, 1709, at the age
+of seventy-five. Drake calls him "an ingenious architect," and quotes
+these lines from his epitaph in the church of All Saints, North Street,
+in York (_Eboracum_, p. 277.):--
+
+      "His art was great, his industry no less,
+      What one projected, t'other brought to pass."
+
+Although Thoresby and Drake dignify him with the title of architect, he
+was in fact a carpenter, or what would now be styled "a builder." Mr.
+Etty had several sons: Marmaduke, the painter mentioned by Thoresby, was
+one of them. He was called in those days a painter-stainer. Two others,
+James and William, were brought up to the business of a carpenter--as
+their father and grandfather were before then. William had two sons: the
+eldest of whom, John, was also a carpenter. The other was the Reverend
+Lewis Etty, clerk; who, about a century ago, was incumbent of one of the
+York churches. I suspect that no work is now extant which is known to be
+the production of either the architect or the painter; and, but for the
+incidental allusion to them in the _Diary_ of the Leeds antiquary, the
+memory of their very names had long since perished. The fact stated in
+the _Diary_, of Grinlin Gibbons having wrought at York with Mr. Etty,
+the architect, is not mentioned in any of the biographical notices of
+that skilful artist, although its accuracy may be safely accepted upon
+Thoresby's authority.
+
+The late William Etty, R.A., never claimed descent from the old York
+family. Most probably he did not know that such persons ever existed.
+His father, John Etty, and his grandfather, Matthew Etty, were
+established as millers at York during the latter part of the last
+century. To the occupation of a miller, John Etty added that of a
+ginger-bread baker; and in the house in Feasegate, York, where his
+distinguished son was born, he carried on an extensive business in
+supplying the smaller shops and itinerant dealers with gingerbread of
+all descriptions, when it was a more popular luxury or "folk-cate" than
+it is now. A characteristic anecdote is told of William Etty, which may
+not inappropriately be introduced here. In his latter days, when in the
+zenith of his fame, the large sum he was about to receive for one of his
+pictures was the subject of conversation at a friend's table. "Ah!" said
+the artist, with the quiet simplicity of manner for which he was
+remarkable, "it will serve to gild the gingerbread!"
+
+It is possible that a keen genealogist might succeed in connecting the
+illustrious artist of our day with the Ettys of Thoresby's time, and
+thus establish a case of hereditary genius. "Mr. Etty, the painter," had
+a son called John, who attained man's estate about the year 1710. He
+does not appear to have settled at York, and it is by no means out of
+the range of probability, that he was the progenitor of Matthew Etty,
+the miller; who was, I believe, a native of Hull, and who, by the way,
+named one of his sons, John.

+_Parish Register of Petworth_ (Vol. iii., pp. 449. 485. 510.).--By the
+parish register abstract accompanying the population returns of 1831, it
+appears that in that year the earliest existing register of Petworth
+commenced in 1559. We are indebted to the late Mr. Rickman for this
+abstract of the dates of all the parish registers in the kingdom; and it
+would be well if, at the next census, a similar return was called for,
+that it may be seen what registers are then missing.
+
+As to lost registers, I may state that I possess the bishop's
+transcripts of sixty registers, signed by the minister and churchwardens
+of parishes in the county of Kent; they comprise the baptisms,
+marriages, and burials for the years 1640 and 1641. The registers of
+sixteen of these parishes do not begin until after 1641, consequently
+these transcripts are the only records now existing of the baptisms,
+marriages, and burials in those sixteen parishes for 1640 and 1641.

+_Death_ (Vol. iii., p. 450.).--The ancients found in the successive
+transformations of the butterfly a striking and beautiful parallel to
+the more important career of human existence. Thus to their fancy the
+caterpillar, or _larva_, represented man's earthly course; the _pupa_,
+or chrysalis state, his death and utter inanition; while the perfect
+state of the insect typified man's rise to life and glory, a bright
+glorious being, without spot or trace of earthly stain. The Greeks from
+this notion named the butterfly "Psyche." A careful examination of the
+anatomy and physiology of the insect world will show the strict and
+amazing beauty of this simile.

+_Lord Mayor not a Privy Councillor_ (Vol. iv., p. 9.).--Your printer has
+misprinted _clamour_ instead of your own expression _demur_. Let me add
+that there was neither _clamour_ nor even _demur_ on that occasion--all
+went off quietly in the usual course. There is also an omission of two
+words in a subsequent line, which, though easily supplied, I may as well
+notice.
+
+"The proclamation is that of the _peers alone_, but assisted by the
+_others_," should rather be "the proclamation is that of the _peers
+alone_, but assisted by the _ex-Privy Councillors and others_," as this
+marks the distinction between the two classes of _assistants_ more
+strongly.

+
+Here he uses the word _complexion_ as something distinct from "tincture
+of the skin." The colour of the hair and irides commonly indicates the
+colour of the skin. If they are dark, the skin is ordinarily dark; and
+if blue or light, the skin is ordinarily fair. I have seen flaxen hair
+and surpassing whiteness of skin with eyes as black as death.

+_Gillingham_ (Vol. iii., pp. 448. 505.).--As a means of furnishing your

+to identify the place where that memorable council was convened, by
+which the succession to the English crown was transferred from the
+Danish to the Saxon line, I would refer him to Lambard's _Perambulation
+of Kent_, published in 1596, pp. 351, 352, 353., as adducing strong
+evidence in favour of the council alluded to having been held at

+
+_Nao, a Ship_ (Vol. iii., pp. 477. 509.).--I perfectly agree with GOMER
+that the early Britons must have possessed vessels more capacious than
+osier baskets or _cyry-glau_ before they were able to transport warlike
+assistance to their brethren the Armoricans of Gaul; but I can inform
+GOMER and A. N. in addition, that a much older term for a ship was made
+use of by the first inhabitants of Britain, namely _Naf_, from whence no
+doubt the Latin _Navis_ sprang; and from the same root the Welsh word
+_Nawf_, a swim (now used), was derived. This term _Naf_ is handed down
+to us in one of the oldest British triads, but which has been always, in
+my opinion, improperly interpreted. In speaking of the three master
+works of the island of Britain, is the ship of Nefydd Naf Neifion (or
+_Noah_); the translation is simply this--
+
+      Nefydd      _i. e._      The ship constructor
+      naf                      of the ship
+      neifion.                 of ships.
+
+Here you have the hero personified by his avocation, and the _noun_ from
+which the proper name is derived, both in the singular and plural
+number; in the latter sense it is made use of by D. ab Gwilym in the
+following couplet:
+
+      "Y nofiad a wnaeth _Neifion_
+      O Droia fawr draw i Fôn."
+
+      "The swimming, that the ships performed
+      From great Troy, afar, to Monâ."

+this date is in p. 290. of Sewel's _History of the Quakers_:
+
+  "Perrot now walked in an erroneous path, grew worse from time to

+_Meaning of Senage_ (Vol. iv., p. 6.).--Have the kindness to inform W.
+H., that in my extracts from the Parish Account Book of St. Peter's
+Mancroft in this city, under the years 1582 and 1588, are entered as
+follows:--
+
+      "1582. Pd to the Bisshopp for Senage Money ... xxjd.
+      1588. Pd for Senage and Proxage to the Bisshopp, ixd."
+
+In Cowel's _Law Dictionary_, by Thomas Manley, folio, 1701, under the
+term "Senege," he says:
+
+  "There goes out yearly in Proxage and Senage 33_s._ 6_d._ Perhaps
+  senege may be money paid for Synodals, as Proxyes or
+  Procurations." "Proxyes are yearly payments made by parish priests
+  to their bishop, or archdeacon, in _lieu of victuals for the
+  visitor and his attendants_" (which it was formerly the custom to
+  provide).
+
+  "Senage. The Senes be only courts to gather Senage and Proxye. The
+  bishop should hold a Synod or Sene twice a year."--Becon's
+  _Reliques of Rome_, p. 213.
+
+  "The priests should come to the Sene as they were wont to do."
+
+The senes, courts, or ecclesiastical councils, were held for the purpose
+of correcting any neglect or omissions of the Church Reeves (as they
+were called), and fining them for such omissions, as well as receiving
+the usual and accustomed payments; and sometimes they were fined for
+having _secreted some Catholic reliques_, which were discovered by the
+visitors (of course after the Reformation), as I have found entries of
+fines having been paid; and more frequently are entries of "Payd for the
+withdraft" of the charge for some neglect in not providing articles
+necessary for the performance of divine worship.
+
+In Sir Thomas More's _Works_, folio, 1557, pp. 909., 991., "Senes or
+Indightments" (perhaps Citements or Citations) are mentioned.
+
+No doubt (I think) the term _senege_ is derived from these courts being
+termed "Senes" and "Seens."

+_Early Visitations_ (Vol. iv., p. 8.).--Your remark that Mr. Noble's

+for his statement, as in the 12th Henry VI. commissions were issued into
+the several counties, not merely to collect the names of the gentry, but
+to administer an oath to the gentry and others for conservation of the
+peace and observance of the laws. The returns containing the names of
+the parties sworn in all the counties (except twelve) are printed by
+Fuller in his _Worthies_ from records in the Tower, which are probably
+yet extant. See _Rotuli Parliamentorum_, iv. 455.; v. 434.; Fuller's
+_Worthies of England_, chap. xiv.; Grimaldi's _Origines Genealogicæ_,
+68, 69. I do not understand that all the parties who were sworn were
+accounted gentlemen, although Dr. Fuller's and Mr. Grimaldi's
+impressions on this point appear to have been similar to Mr. Noble's.

+and rifle-firing; and I think I can assure your correspondent A. C. that
+"_We_ make the best rifles" is rather an assumption. That the Americans
+make most excellent ones, there can be no doubt; but I question whether
+they ever turned out a rifle which, either for finish or performance,
+would bear comparison with those made by Purdey, Lancaster, and others.
+As an example of what an English rifle will do, I subjoin the
+performance[4] of one made by Beattie of Regent Street on Minie's
+principle for an officer in the artillery now going out to the Cape. At
+_one thousand_ measured yards, sixteen balls out of thirty were put into
+the target; and at four hundred yards, balls were driven through four
+regulation targets, each of two inch oak, placed six inches apart from
+one another; and into the earthen mound behind them ten or twelve
+inches. If the Americans can beat that, either for precision or force,
+they may claim to make the best rifles.

+_A Glossary of Terms used for Articles of British Dress and Armour, by
+the Rev. John Williams (ab Ithel)_, classifies alphabetically the
+several names which our British forefathers applied to the different
+portions of their garments and military weapons, and supplies the reader
+with their English synonymes; and, in the majority of cases, cites
+corroborative passages from documents in which the original terms occur.
+Its value to the antiquaries of the Principality is sufficiently
+obvious; and as Celtic elements may still be traced in our language, it
+will clearly be found of equal utility to their English brethren.

+_The Golden and Silver Ages. Two Plays by Thomas Heywood, with an
+Introduction and Notes by J. Payne Collier, Esq._ (which form the last
+work issued by the Shakspeare Society), will be read with great interest
+by the members; and, as completing the second volume of the collected
+edition of the works of _Thomas Heywood_, will give great satisfaction
+to those who urged upon the Shakspeare Society the propriety of printing
+an edition of the works of this able and prolific dramatist.
+
+In his _Manual of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Mind, by James
+Carlile, D.D._, the author has undertaken to write a popular treatise on
+an abstruse subject; and though he exhibits pains and method, yet we can
+hardly think that he has succeeded in his difficult task. One mistake he
+has evidently made. He seeks his illustrations too much from recent
+events, the Gorham controversy, the presidency of Louis Napoleon, and
+the like; references which are more calculated to degrade a great
+subject than to popularise it.
+
+In _The Gentleman's Magazine_ for the present month our readers will
+find a very able article, to which we beg to direct their attention, on
+the present state of English Historical Literature, the accessibility
+of our Historical Materials and the Record Offices. The article has
+apparently been called forth by a Memorial, addressed to the Master of
+the Rolls, requesting "that persons who are merely engaged in historical
+inquiry, antiquarian research, and other literary pursuits connected
+therewith, should have permission granted to them to have access to the
+Public Records, with the Indexes and Calendars, without payment of any
+Fee." This important document is signed by all the principal historical
+and antiquarian writers of the day: we should think, therefore, that
+there can be little fear of their prayer being refused. The writer of
+the article in the _Gentleman's Magazine_ has omitted two curious facts,
+which deserve mention,--one that Pinkerton was stopped in the progress
+of his History of Scotland by the fees for searches in the Scotch Record
+Offices; the other, that those fees in those very offices have recently
+been remitted.
+
+Mr. Douglas Allport has issued Proposals for the publication by
+subscription of a volume entitled _Kits Coty House, a Monograph_, which,
+as it is to treat not only of Kits Coty House, but of its Flora and
+Fauna, the Druidical Circles of Addington and Colebrook, the Antiquarian
+Relics and Traditions of the neighbourhood, Boxley and its Rood of
+Grace, Chaucer and the Pilgrim's Road, and other vestiges of bygone
+times, clearly has within its subject the materials for an amusing and
+interesting volume.

+  ILLUSTRATIONS AND ENQUIRIES RELATING TO MESMERISM. Part I. By the
+  REV. S. R. MAITLAND, D.D. F.R.S. F.S.A. Sometime Librarian to the
+  late Archbishop of Canterbury, and Keeper of the MSS. at Lambeth.
+
+    "One of the most valuable and interesting pamphlets we ever
+    read."--_Morning Herald._
+
+    "This publication, which promises to be the commencement of a
+    larger work, will well repay serious perusal."--_Ir. Eccl. Journ._
+
+    "A small pamphlet in which he throws a startling light on the
+    practices of modern Mesmerism."--_Nottingham Journal._
+
+    "Dr. Maitland, we consider, has here brought Mesmerism to the
+    'touchstone of truth,' to the test of the standard of right or
+    wrong. We thank him for this first instalment of his inquiry, and
+    hope that he will not long delay the remaining portions."--_London
+    Medical Gazette._
+
+    "The Enquiries are extremely curious, we should indeed say
+    important. That relating to the Witch of Endor is one of the most
+    successful we ever read. We cannot enter into particulars in this
+    brief notice; but we would strongly recommend the pamphlet even to
+    those who care nothing about Mesmerism, or angry (for it has come
+    to this at last) with the subject."--_Dublin Evening Post._
+
+    "We recommend its general perusal as being really an endeavour, by
+    one whose position gives him the best facilities, to ascertain the
+    genuine character of Mesmerism, which is so much
+    disputed."--_Woolmer's Exeter Gazette._
+
+    "Dr. Maitland has bestowed a vast deal of attention on the
+    subject for many years past, and the present pamphlet is in part
+    the result of his thoughts and inquiries. There is a good deal in
+    it which we should have been glad to quote ... but we content
+    ourselves with referring our readers to the pamphlet
+    itself."--_Brit Mag._

+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

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+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

+Gutenberg-tm License.

+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or

+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.

+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you

+     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.

+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+
+
+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

+PRIVATELY PRINTED BOOKS AND PRIVATELY ENGRAVED PORTRAITS.
+
+If the "NOTES AND QUERIES," in the course of its career, had only called
+the attention of antiquaries to the necessities of collecting epitaphs
+and inscriptions to the dead found in churches, and thus brought into
+active exertion a large number of zealous and intelligent recorders of
+monuments, its usefulness would have been fully established; but the
+multitude of suggestive hints and recommendations constantly appearing
+in its pages, added to the great amount of precise and unquestionable
+knowledge given to the public through its means, have established the
+publication as of the greatest importance to arch�ologists, and literary
+men generally.
+
+A noble and highly regarded author (Lord Braybrooke) has recently shown
+the necessity for recording the existence of painted historical
+portraits, scattered, as we know they are, throughout residences of the
+nobility and gentry, and from thence too often descending to the humble
+dwelling or broker's warehouse, through the effluxion of time, the ill
+appreciation, in some instances, of those who possess them, or the
+urgencies of individuals: but there are other memorials of eminent
+persons extant, frequently the only ones, which, falling into the
+possession of but few persons, are to the seeker after biographical or
+topographical knowledge, for the most part, as though they had never
+existed. I allude to Privately Printed Books and Privately Engraved
+Portraits. Surely these might be made available to literary persons if
+their depository were generally known.
+
+How comparatively easy would it be for the readers of the "NOTES AND
+QUERIES," in each county, to transmit to its pages a short note of any
+privately engraved portrait, or privately printed volume, of which they
+may be possessed, or of which they have a perfect knowledge. Collectors
+could in most instances, if they felt inclined to open their stores,
+give the required information in a complete list, and no doubt would do
+so; but still a great assistance to those engaged in the toils of
+biographical or other study could be afforded by the transmission to
+these pages of the casual "Note," which happens to have been taken at a
+moment when the book or portrait passed under the inspection of a
+recorder who did not amass graphic or literary treasures.
+
+As respects some counties, much less has been done by the printing press
+to furnish this desideratum; at least that of privately engraved
+portraits. In Warwickshire, a list of all the portraits (with a few
+omissions) has within a few years been brought before the public in a
+volume. In Norfolk, the _Illustrations of Norfolk Topography_, a volume
+containing an enumeration of many thousand drawings and engravings,
+collected by Dawson Turner, Esq., of Great Yarmouth, to illustrate
+Blomefield's History of the county, is also a repertory of this kind of
+instruction, as far as portraits are concerned. Privately printed books
+are entirely unrecorded in this and most other localities. Without the
+publication now mentioned, persons having no personal knowledge of Mr.
+Turner's ample stores would be not only unacquainted with that
+gentleman's wonderful Norfolk collection, but also ignorant that through
+his liberality, and the elegant genius and labours of several members of
+his family, the portfolios of many of his friends have been enriched by
+the addition of portraits of many persons of great virtues, attainments,
+and learning, with whom he had become acquainted. In Suffolk, the
+veteran collectors, Mr. Elisha Davy, of Ufford, and Mr. William Fitch,
+of Ipswich, have compiled lists of portraits belonging to that county.
+These are, however, in manuscript, and therefore comparatively useless;
+though, to the honour of both these gentlemen let it be said, that no
+one ever asks in vain for assistance from their collections.
+
+I trust it can only be necessary to call attention to this source of
+knowledge, to be supported in a view of the necessity of a record open
+to all. I have taken the liberty to name the "NOTES AND QUERIES" as the
+storehouse for gathering these scattered memorabilia together, knowing
+no means of permanence superior, or more convenient, to literary
+persons, although I am not without fears indeed, perhaps convictions,
+that your present space would be too much burthened thereby.
+
+As the volume of "NOTES AND QUERIES" just completed has comprised a
+large amount of intelligence respecting the preservation of epitaphs,
+the present would, perhaps, be appropriately opened by a new subject of,
+I am inclined to think, nearly equal value.

+
+
+SARDONIC SMILES.
+
+A few words on the [Greek: Gel�s sardanios], or Sardonius Risus, so
+celebrated in antiquity, may not be amiss, especially as the expression
+"a Sardonic smile" is a common one in our language.
+
+We find this epithet used by several Greek writers; it is even as old as
+_Homer's_ time, for we read in the _Odyssey_, [Greek: meid�se de thym�
+sardanion mala toion], "but he laughed in his soul a very bitter laugh."
+The word was written indifferently [Greek: sardanios] and [Greek:
+sardonios]; and some lexicographers derive it from the verb [Greek:
+sair�], of [Greek: ses�ra], "to show the teeth, grin like a dog:"
+especially in scorn or malice. The more usual derivation is from [Greek:
+sardonion], a plant of Sardinia ([Greek: Sard�]), which was said to
+distort the face of the eater. In the English of the present day, a
+Sardonic laugh means a derisive, fiendish laugh, full of bitterness and
+mocking; stinging with insult and rancour. Lord Byron has hit it off in
+his portraiture of the Corsair, Conrad:
+
+      "There was a laughing devil in his sneer,
+      That rais'd emotions both of _rage_ and _fear_."
+
+In Izaak Walton's ever delightful _Complete Angler_, Venator, on coming
+to Tottenham High Cross, repeats his promised verse: "it is a copy
+printed among some of Sir Henry Wotton's, and doubtless made either by
+him or by a lover of angling." Here is the first stanza:--
+
+          "Quivering fears, heart-tearing cares,
+          Anxious sighs, untimely tears,
+              Fly, fly to courts,
+              Fly to fond worldlings' sports,
+      Where strained _Sardonic_ smiles are glosing still,
+      And Grief is forced to laugh against her will;
+          Where mirth's but mummery,
+          And sorrows only real be."
+
+In Sir J. Hawkins's edition is the following note on the word "Sardonic"
+in these lines:
+
+  "Feigned, or forced smiles, from the word _Sardon_, the name of an
+  herb resembling smallage, and growing in Sardinia, which, being
+  eaten by men, contracts the muscles, and excites laughter even to
+  death. Vide _Erasmi Adagia_, tit. RISUS."
+
+_Sardonic_, in this passage, means "forced, strained, unusual,
+artificial;" and is not taken in the worst sense. These lines of Sir H.
+Wotton's bring to mind some of Lorenzo de Medici's in a platonic poem of
+his, when he contrasts the court and country. I quote Mr. Roscoe's
+translation:--
+
+      "What the heart thinks, the tongue may here disclose,
+      Nor inward grief with outward smiles is drest;
+      Not like the world--where wisest he who knows
+      To hide the secret closest in his breast."
+
+The _Edinburgh Review_, July, 1849, in an article on Tyndale's
+_Sardinia_, says:
+
+  "The _Sardonic smile_, so celebrated in antiquity, baffles
+  research much more than the _intemperie_, nor have modern
+  physiologists thrown any light on the nature of the deleterious
+  plant which produces it. The tradition at least seems still to
+  survive in the country, and Mr. Tyndale adduces some evidence to
+  show that the _Ranunculus sceleratus_ was the herb to which these
+  exaggerated qualities were ascribed. Some insular antiquaries have
+  found a different solution of the ancient proverb. The ancient
+  Sardinians, they say, like many barbarous tribes, used to get rid
+  of their relations in extreme old age by throwing them alive into
+  deep pits; which attention it was the fashion for the venerable
+  objects of it to receive with great expressions of _delight_:
+  whence the saying of a Sardinian laugh (vulgo), laughing on the
+  wrong side of ones mouth. It seems not impossible, that the
+  phenomenon may have been a result of the effects of 'Intemperie'
+  working on weak constitutions, and in circumstances favourable to
+  physical depression--like the epidemic chorea, and similar
+  complaints, of which such strange accounts are read in medical
+  books."

+
+
+PRIVATE AMOURS OF OLIVER CROMWELL.
+
+I know nothing more of the enclosed, than that I found it with the MS.
+which I lately sent you on the subject of Cromwell's "Dealings with the
+Devil" (Vol. iii., p. 282.).
+
+I should conclude it to be a carelessly-made transcript of a
+contemporary MS., the production, probably, of some warm royalist, who
+may, or may not, have had some grounds for his assertions. At all
+events, it gives a few curious details, and, in its general outline,
+agrees singularly with the incidents on which Mrs. Behn's play, _The
+Round Heads; or The Good Old Cause_, is founded: sufficiently so to give
+it at least an air of authenticity, so far as the popular belief of the
+day was concerned.
+
+    S. H. H.
+
+  "After Cromwell had been declared General of the Commonwealth's
+  Forces, he seized the possessions of the Royalists, who had
+  escaped his implacable resentment; and the New Hall fell to the
+  share of the Usurper, who, flushed with the victory of Worcester,
+  disposed at pleasure of the forsaken seates of the noble
+  Fugitives, who still supported Charles II.'s Drooping Standards;
+  and adding insulte to oppression, commanded the domesticks of the
+  Duke of Buckingham to follow their master's desperate fortune, and
+  to carry him five shillings, which he might want in his exile, for
+  the purchase of a Lordship, whose yearly value exceeded then
+  1300_l._ Cromwell kept possession of New Hall till he assumed the
+  title of Protector, and was instaled at White Hall, in the Pallace
+  of the English Kings: Then he chose Hampton Court for his Summer
+  Residence. He led at New Hall an obscure life, without pomp,
+  without luxury, having but two servants in his retinue. Though his
+  manners were natuaraly austere, he had some private amoures, which
+  he indulged with great Caution and Secrecy. His favourites were
+  General Lambert's wife and Major-General Vernon's sister: the
+  first was a well-bred, genteel woman, fatheless to her husband
+  from natural aversion, and attached to Cromwell from a conformity
+  of inclination in a mysterious enjoyment and stolen embraces, with
+  mask of religious deportment and severe virtue: the other was a
+  person made to inspire lust and desire, but selfish, revengfull,
+  and indiscreet. These too rivals heartily detested each other:
+  Mrs. Lambert reproached Cromwell for his affection to a worthless,
+  giddy, and wanton woman; and Mrs. Vernon laughed at him for being
+  the dupe of the affected fondness and hipocry of an artful
+  Mistress. They once met at the house of Colonel Hammond, a
+  Creature of Cromwell's, and reviled each other with the most
+  virulent sarcasms. Mrs. Lambert, fired with rage and resentment,
+  went immediately to New Hall, where Oliver was at that juncture,
+  and insisted upon her Rival's dismission for her unprovoked
+  outrage. Cromwell, who was then past the meridian of voluptuous
+  sensations, sacrificed the person he was no longer fit to enjoy,
+  to a woman who had gained his esteem and confidence, and delegated
+  to Mrs. Lambert all the domestic concerns of his house in Essex.
+  Cromwell's wife, called afterwards the Protectress, was a sober
+  helpmate, who, dressed in humble stuff, like a Quaker, neither
+  interfered in his amours or politics. She never went to New Hall
+  but once, and that was on the 25th of April, 1652, when he invited
+  all his family to a grand entertainment on account of his
+  Birthday. The other Guests were, his mother, who survived his
+  elevation to the Protectorship: she was a virtuous woman of the
+  name of Stewart, related to the Royall Family; Desborough, his
+  brother-in law; and Fleetwood, who had married his daughter; his
+  Eldest Son, Richard, a man of an inoffensive and unambitious
+  Character, who had been married some years, and lived in the
+  country on a small estate which he possessed in right of his wife,
+  where he spent his time in acts of benevolence: at the trial of
+  Charles I. he fell on his knees and conjured his Father in the
+  most pathetic manner to spare the life of his Sovereign; his
+  brother Henry, afterwards Govonor of Ireland, where he was
+  universally beloved for his mild administration; Mrs. Claypole,
+  the darling of her father; and his three other daughters: Mrs.
+  Rich, married to the Grandson and heir of the Earl of Warwick;
+  Lady Falconbridge; and the Youngest, who lived in celibacy. They
+  spent a week at New Hall, in innocent mirth and jollity; Oliver
+  himself joining in convivial pleasure with his children,
+  disengaged the whole time from state affairs and Political
+  Speculations.
+
+  "His constant visitors at New Hall were some Regicides, and the
+  meanest, lowest, and most ignorant among the Citizens on whome he
+  had decreed that the Sovereign power should be vested. To excell
+  in Fanaticism seemed a necessary qualification in this new
+  parliment; and Oliver foresaw that they would soon throw up the
+  reins of Government, which they were unqualified to guide, and
+  raise himself to an unlimited power far beyond that of former
+  Kings.
+
+  "It seems Mrs. Lambert continued to reside at New Hall during
+  Cromwell's Protectorship, and that Col. Wite, his trusty friend,
+  was often sent with kind messages and preasants from Oliver, who
+  travelled himself in the night, with hurry and precipitation, to
+  enjoy with her some moments of domestic comfort and tranquility."
+
+
+SPURIOUS EDITION OF BAILY'S ANNUITIES.
+
+In the course of last year a curious and impudent bibliographical fraud
+was perpetrated by some parties unknown. I am not aware that it has been
+publicly exposed as yet.
+
+The celebrated work on annuities, by the late Francis Baily, was
+published in 1810 by Richardson, and printed by Richard Taylor. It was
+at first in one volume: but on the publication of an appendix in 1813,
+two titles were printed with this last date, and the stock then
+remaining was sold in two volumes. As the book became scarce, it
+gradually rose in price, until, when by a rare chance a copy came to the
+hammer, it seldom fetched less than five guineas. This price was
+lowered, as well by the general decline in the price of old books, as
+by the sale of Mr. Baily's own library in 1844, which threw a few copies
+into the market; but the work was still saleable at more than the
+original price. In the course of last year, copies, as it was pretended,
+of the original edition were offered at the assurance offices, and to
+individuals known to be interested in the subject, at twenty-five
+shillings. Some were taken in, others saw the trick at once. There has
+been, in fact, a reprint without any statement of the circumstance, and
+without a printer's name; but with a strong, and, on the whole,
+successful attempt at imitation of the peculiar typography of the work.
+If the execution had been as good as the imitation, the success would
+have been greater. But this is wretchedly bad, and will amuse those who
+know how very particular Mr. Baily always was in his superintendence of
+the press, and how plainly his genuine works bear the marks of it.
+
+The spurious edition may be known at once by the title-page, in which
+the words "an appendix" are printed in open letter, which is not the
+case in the original. Also by "Leienitz," instead of "Leibnitz" in page
+xi. of the preface. Also by the Greek letter [Greek: delta rotated 180
+degrees] throughout, which is, in the spurious edition, never anything
+but an inverted [Greek: delta], which looks as if it were trying to kick
+backwards.
+
+In all probability, the agents in this shabby trick are beneath reproof;
+but it is desirable that the reputation of the author whom they have
+chosen for its object should not suffer from the effects of their
+misprint. And as the work they have appropriated is only used by a small
+public, and a reading one, the mode of exposure which I here adopt will
+probably be sufficient.
+
+The spurious edition is now on the stalls at a few shillings; and, as a
+curiosity, will be worth its price.

+Minor Notes.
+
+_Les Anguilles de Melun._--"Les anguilles de Melun crient avant qu'on
+les �corche" is a well-known proverb in that town; and as some of your
+readers may be curious to learn the circumstances in which it
+originated, I send them to you for "NOTES AND QUERIES."
+
+According to the traditions of the Church, Saint Bartholomew was flayed
+alive, and his skin rolled up and tied to his back. When the religious
+dramas, called _Mysteries_, came into vogue, this martyrdom was
+represented on the stage at Melun, and the character of the saint was
+personated by one _Languille_. In the course of the performance, the
+executioner, armed with a knife, made his appearance; and as he
+proceeded to counterfeit the operation of flaying, Languille became
+terrified and uttered the most piteous cries, to the great amusement of
+the spectators. The audience thereupon exclaimed, "Languille crie avant
+qu'on l'�corche;" and hence the "jeu de mots," and the proverb.

+
+_Derivation of Mews._--
+
+"Muette. C'est le nom qu'on donne � un Edifice �lev� au bout d'un parc
+de maison royale ou seigneuriale, pour servir de logement aux officiers
+de la venerie, et dans lequel il y a aussi des Chenils, des cours,
+�curies, &c. Ce terme _Muette_, vient, dit-on, de _Mue_, parceque c'est
+dans ces maisons que les Gardes, et autres officiers de chasse,
+apportent les _Mues_ ou bois que les Cerfs quittent et laissent dans les
+For�ts."--Lacombe, _Dictionnaire portatif des Beaux Arts, &c._ Nouvelle
+Edition: Paris, 1759.
+
+Is this a better explanation of the English word _mews_ than has
+generally been given by writers?

+
+_Curious Monumental Inscriptions._--In the south aisle of Martham
+Church, Norfolk, are two slabs, of which one, nearly defaced, bears the
+following inscription:
+
+      Here Lyeth
+      The Body of Christo
+      Burraway, who departed
+      this Life ye 18 day
+      of October, Anno Domini
+      1730.
+      Aged 59 years.
+
+      And there Lyes [pointing hand symbol]
+      Alice who by hir Life
+      Was my Sister, my mistres
+      My mother and my wife.
+      Dyed Feb. ye 12. 1729.
+      Aged 76 years.
+
+The following explanation is given of this enigmatical statement.
+Christopher Burraway was the fruit of an incestuous connexion between a
+father and daughter, and was early placed in the Foundling Hospital,
+from whence, when he came of age, he was apprenticed to a farmer. Coming
+in after years by chance to Martham, he was hired unwittingly by his own
+mother as farm steward, her father (or rather the father of both) being
+dead. His conduct proving satisfactory to his mistress she married him
+who thus became, successively, mother, sister, mistress, and wife, to
+this modern OEdipus. The episode remains to be told. Being discovered by
+his wife to be her son, by a peculiar mark on his shoulder, she was so
+horror-stricken that she soon after died, he surviving her scarcely four
+months. Of the other slab enough remains to show that it covered her
+remains; but the registers from 1729 to 1740 are unfortunately missing
+so that I cannot trace the family further.
+
+    E. S. T.
+
+_First Panorama_ (Vol. iii., p. 526.).--I remember when a boy going to
+see that panorama. I was struck with "the baker knocking at the door, in
+Albion Place, and wondered the man did not _move!_" But this could not
+have been the first (though it might have been the first publicly
+exhibited), if what is told of Sir Joshua Reynolds be true, that, having
+held that the painting of a panorama was a "thing impossible," on the
+sight of it he exclaimed--"This is the triumph of perspective!" I have

+_Portrait of Whiston._--Having an original and characteristic
+half-length portrait in oil, bearing to the left corner (below an oval,
+such as is found about portraits by Alex. Cooper) the name of William
+Whiston, which picture came from a farm-house named Westbrook, in
+Wiltshire, and was by my ancestors, who lived there, called a family
+portrait, I should be glad to know how such connexion arose, if any did
+exist.
+
+In the possession of a member of my family, on the maternal side, is a
+large silver tobacco-box, bearing the initials W. W., and given as a
+legacy by Whiston to his friend Thomas White, Fellow and Librarian of
+Trinity College, Cambridge. They were members of the same club.

+_Principle of Notation by Coalwhippers, &c._--I shall feel much obliged
+to any of your readers who can inform me whether the principle adopted
+by the coalwhippers on the river Thames, and by the seafaring class in
+general, is adopted by any other class in these islands, or particularly
+in the North of Europe.
+
+This principle may be thus explained, viz.:
+
+1. A set of four perpendicular, equal, and equidistant straight lines
+are cut by a diagonal line, which runs from _right_ to _left_; that is
+to say, from the higher end of the fourth line to the lower extremity of
+the first line. This diagonal then represents number 5, and completes
+the scale or tally of 5.
+
+2. A similar set of four lines are cut by another diagonal, which passes
+from _left_ to _right_, or from the higher extremity of number one, to
+the lower extremity of number four. The diagonal thus completes the
+second score or tally for number 5.
+
+The two fives are marked or scored separately, and the diagonals thus
+form a series of alternations, which, when repeated, form a scale of
+ten, the tally of the _coalwhippers_.
+
+The "navvies" of the railroads carry this principle somewhat further.
+They form a cross with two diagonals on the perpendiculars, and count
+for ten; then, by repeating the process, they have a division into tens,
+and count by two tens, or a score.

+
+  "Mr. Hampden[1] has had the misfortune to lose 5000_l._ by Lady
+  Russell.[2] She was a Lady of good sense, and great piety in
+  appearance, and made many believe she had a private way of

+  by which means she got above 30,000_l._ put in to her hands, and
+  for which she only gave her Note to put it to the best advantage;
+  for some years the interest was well paid, but at her death no

+  She had a jointure of 2000_l._ a year, but that goes to her

+In the extracts from Aske's Collections relating to the descendants of

+  "Mathew of Bitton was married unto Constantyne Kingston, daughter
+  to the Lord Thomas of Kingston; and of the said Mathew and
+  Constantyne came John of Bitton, which died in Portingale."
+
+In a pedigree (_Harl. MSS._ 1982. p. 102.) which shows the descendants
+of Furneaux, the match between "Sir Math. Bitton" and C. Kingston is
+laid down, and her arms are marked sab. a lion ramp. or.
+
+With regard to Mathew de Bitton, he was son and heir of John de Bitton
+and Havisia Furneaux. The residence of the family was at Hanham, in the
+parish of Bitton, Gloucestershire, at a place afterwards called "Barre's
+Court," from Sir John Barre, who married Joan, the great-granddaughter
+of the said Mathew. The house abutted on the Chace of Kingswood.
+
+In the 48th of Edward III. a writ was issued, to inquire who were the
+destroyers of the deer and game in his Majesty's Chace, when it was
+found that Mathew de Bitton was "Communis malefactor de venasione Dom.
+Regis in Chacia predicta." It was proved that he had killed thirty-seven
+deer! After much difficulty, he was brought before the justiciaries,
+when he acknowledged all his transgressions, and placed himself at the
+mercy of the king. He was committed "prison� Dom. Regis, quousque
+Justiciarii habeant locutionem cum consilio Dom. Regis."

+the proposition, which I take to mean nine points out of ten. Has the
+phrase any reference to the ten commandments or _points of law_
+promulgated by Moses? I should add that _three_ things are said to be
+necessary to confer a perfect title to land, namely, possession, right
+of possession, and right of property.

+ambassador, being compelled to substitute the word "amity" for the word
+"concord" suspended in coloured lamps, in consequence of the irritated
+mob's determination to assault his house, unless the offensive word
+"concord" were removed, the said mob reading it as though it were
+spelled "conquered," and inferring thence that M. Otto intended to
+insinuate that John Bull was _conquered_ by France. The story, moreover,
+goes on to relate that the mob also insisted that the blazing initials
+G.R. should be surmounted by an illuminated crown. This anecdote,
+notwithstanding its embalmment in the _Annual Register_, has always
+borne in my eyes an apocryphal air. It assumes that the mob was ignorant
+and intellectual at the same moment; that whilst it was in a riotous
+mood it was yet in a temper to be reasoned with, and able to comprehend
+the reasons addressed to it. But one cannot help fancying that the
+mental calibre which understood "concord" to mean "conquered," would
+just as readily believe that "amity" meant "enmity," to say nought of
+its remarkable patience in waiting to see the changes dictated by itself
+carried out. This circumstance occurred, if at all, within the memory of

+PRINCESSES OF WALES.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 477.)
+
+The statement of Hume, that Elizabeth and Mary were created Princesses
+of Wales, rests, I am disposed to think, on most insufficient authority;
+and I am surprised that so illustrious an author should have made an
+assertion on such slender grounds, which carries on the face of it a
+manifest absurdity, and which was afterwards retracted by the very
+author from whom he borrowed it.
+
+Hume's authority is evidently Burnet's _History of the Reformation_;
+(indeed, in some editions your correspondent G. would have seen Burnet
+referred to) in which are the following passages (vol. i. p. 71., Oxford
+edition, 1829):
+
+  "The King, being out of hopes of more children, declared his
+  daughter (Mary) Princess of Wales, and sent her to Ludlow to hold
+  her court there, and projected divers matches for her."
+
+Again, p. 271.:
+
+  "Elizabeth was soon after declared Princess of Wales; though
+  lawyers thought that against law, for she was only heir
+  presumptive, but not apparent, to the crown, since a son coming
+  after he must be preferred. Yet the king would justify what he had
+  done in his marriage with all possible respect; and having before
+  declared the Lady Mary Princess of Wales, he did now the same in
+  favour of the Lady Elizabeth."
+
+Hume's statement is taken almost verbatim from this last passage of
+Burnet, who, however, it will be observed, does not say "created," but
+"declared" Princess of Wales; the distinction between which is obvious.
+He was evidently not aware that Burnet afterwards corrected this
+statement in an Appendix, entitled, "Some Mistakes in the first Portion
+of this History communicated to me by Mr. William Fulman, Rector of
+Hampton Meysey, in Gloucestershire." In this is the following note, in
+correction of the passages I have quoted (Burn. _Hist. Ref._, vol. iv.
+p. 578.):
+
+  "Here and in several other places it is supposed that the next
+  heir apparent of the crown was Prince of Wales. The heir apparent
+  of the crown is indeed prince, but not, strictly speaking, of
+  Wales, unless he has it given him by creation; and it is said that
+  there is nothing on record to prove that any of Henry's children
+  were ever created Prince of Wales. There are indeed some hints of
+  the Lady Mary's being styled Princess of Wales; for when a family
+  was appointed for her, 1525, Veysey, bishop of Exeter, her tutor,
+  was made president of Wales. She also is said to have kept her
+  house at Ludlow; and Leland says, that Tekenhill, a house in those
+  parts, built for Prince Arthur, was prepared for her. And Thomas
+  Linacre dedicates his _Rudiments of Grammar_ to her, by the title
+  of Princess of Cornwall and Wales."
+
+This is one of the many instances of the inaccuracy, carelessness, and
+(where his religious or political prejudices were not concerned)
+credulity of Burnet. Whatever he found written in any previous
+historian, unless it militated against his preconceived opinions, he
+received as true, without considering whether the writer was entitled to
+credit, and had good means of gaining information. Now, neither Hall,
+Holinshed, Polydore Virgil, nor (I think) Cardinal Pole, contemporary
+writers, say anything about Mary or Elizabeth being Princesses of Wales.
+The only writer I am acquainted with who does say any such thing,
+previous to Burnet, and whose authority I am therefore compelled to
+suppose the latter relied on, when he made the statement which he
+afterwards contradicted, is Pollini, an obscure Italian Dominican, who
+wrote a work entitled _L'Historia Ecclesiastica della Rivoluzion
+d'Inghilterra; Racolta da Gravissimi Scrittori non meno di quella
+Nazione, che dell' altri, da F. Girolamo Pollini dell' ordine de
+Predicatori, della Provincio de Toscana_: Roma, Facciotti, 1594. In book
+i. chapter ii. page 7. of this author is the following statement, which
+I translate, speaking of the Princess Mary:
+
+  "As the rightful heir of the throne she was declared by Henry, her
+  father, Princess of Wales, which is the ordinary title borne by
+  the first-born of the king; since the administration and
+  government of this province is allowed to no other, except to that
+  son or daughter of the king, to whom, by hereditary right, on the
+  death of the king the government of the realm falls.... In the
+  same way that the first-born of the French king is called the
+  Dauphin, so the first-born of the English king is called Prince of
+  Britain, or of Wales, which is a province of that large island,
+  lying to the west, and containing four bishoprics. Which Mary,
+  with the dignity and title of Princess, assisted by a most
+  illustrious senate, and accompanied by a splendid establishment,
+  administered with much prudence," &c.
+
+Pollini's history is, as may be supposed, of very little historical
+value; and one feels surprised that, on a point like the present, Burnet
+should have allowed himself to be misled by him. But still more
+remarkable, in my opinion, is the use Miss Strickland makes of this
+author. After several times giving him as her authority at the foot of
+the page, by the name of _Pollino_, but without giving the least
+information as to the name of his work, or who he was, she has the
+following note relating to the passage I have quoted (_Lives of the
+Queens of England_, vol. v. p. 156.):
+
+  "The Italian then carefully explains that the Princes of Wales
+  were in the same position, in regard to the English crown, as the
+  Dauphins were to that of France. Pollino must have had good
+  documentary evidence, since he describes Mary's council and court,
+  which he calls a senate, exactly as if the Privy Council books had
+  been open to him. _He says four bishops were attached to this
+  court._"
+
+It seems to one a singular mode of proving that Pollini must have had
+good documentary evidence, by saying that he speaks exactly and
+positively; and I would ask what _good_ documentary evidence would a
+Florentine friar be likely to have, who certainly never was in England,
+and in all probability never far from his convent? But it is the
+statement about the bishops that I wish more particularly to allude to,
+as I can find _no statement to that effect in Pollini_, and can only
+suppose that Miss Strickland misunderstood the passage (quoted above)
+where he says the province of Wales contains four bishoprics.
+
+I think I have now shown that Hume's statement rests on no sufficient
+grounds as to the authority from whence he derived it. But there is yet
+another reason against it, which is this: it would be necessary, before
+Elizabeth was created Princess of Wales, that Mary should be deprived of
+it; and this could only be done by a special act of parliament. But we
+find no act of such a nature passed in the reign of Henry VIII. There
+are other reasons also against it; but having, I think, said enough to
+show the want of any foundation for the assertion, I shall not trouble
+you any further.

+THE LATE MR. WILLIAM HONE.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 477.)
+
+In reply to the inquiry of E.V. relative to the conversion of the late
+Mr. William Hone, I send a slight reminiscence of him, which may perhaps
+be generally interesting to the readers of the _Every Day Book_. It was
+soon after the period when Mr. Hone (at the time afflicted both in "body
+and estate") began to acknowledge the truths of Christianity, that I
+accidentally had an interview with him, though a perfect stranger. Our
+conversation was brief, but it turned upon the adaptation of the
+Christian religion to the wants of man, in all the varied stations in
+which he may be placed on earth, independent of its assurance of a
+better state hereafter. With child-like meekness, and earnest sincerity,
+the once contemner and reviler of Christianity testified to me that all
+his hope for the future was in the great atonement made to reconcile
+fallen man to his Creator.
+
+Before we parted, I was anxious to possess his autograph, and asked him
+for it; as I had made some collection towards illustrating, his _Every

+as follows, in his small and usual very neat hand:--

+
+SHAKSPEARE'S "SMALL LATIN."--HIS USE OF "TRIPLE."
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 497.)
+
+In reference to the observations of A. E. B., I beg leave to say that,
+in speaking of Shakspeare as a man who had _small Latin_, I intended no
+irreverence to his genius. I am no worshipper of Shakspeare, or of any
+man; but I am willing to do full justice, and to pay all due veneration,
+to those powers which, with little aid from education, exalted their
+possessor to the heights of dramatic excellence.
+
+As to the extent of Shakspeare's knowledge of Latin, I think that it was
+well estimated by Johnson, when he said that "Shakspeare had Latin
+enough to grammaticize his English." Had he possessed much more than was
+sufficient for this purpose, Ben Jonson would hardly have called his
+knowledge of the language _small_; for about the signification of
+_small_ there can be no doubt, or about Ben's ability to determine
+whether it was small or not. But this consideration has nothing to do
+with the appreciation of Shakspeare's intellect: Shakspeare might know
+little of Latin and less of Greek, and yet be comparable to �schylus,
+Sophocles, and Euripides; as Burns, who may be said to have known no
+Latin, is comparable, in many passages, even to Horace. "The great
+instrument of the man of genius," says Thomas Moore, "is his own
+language," which some knowledge of another language may assist him to
+wield, but to the wielding of which the knowledge of another language is
+by no means necessary. The great dramatists of Greece were, in all
+probability, entirely ignorant of any language but their own; but such
+ignorance did not incapacitate them from using their own with effect,
+nor is to be regarded as being, in any way, any detraction from their
+merits. Shakspeare had but a limited acquaintance with Latin, but such
+limited acquaintance caused no debilitation of his mental powers, nor is
+to be mentioned at all to his disparagement. I desire, therefore, to be
+acquitted, both by A. E. B. and by all your other readers, of
+entertaining any disrespect for Shakspeare's high intellectual powers.
+
+As to his usage of the word _triple_, that it is "fairly traced to
+Shakspeare's own reading" might not unreasonably be disputed. We may,
+however, concede, if A. E. B. wishes, that it was derived from his own
+reading, _as no trace of its being borrowed is to be found_. But I am
+not sure that if other writers had taken pains to establish this use of
+the word in our tongue, its establishment would have been much of a
+"convenient acquisition." Had any man who has three sisters, closely
+conjoined in bonds of amity, the privilege of calling any one of them a
+_triple sister_, I do not consider that he or his language would be
+much benefited. Ovid, I fear, employed _triplex_ "improperly," as
+Warburton says that Shakspeare employed _triple_, when he spoke of the
+Fates spinning _triplici pollice_. I cannot find that any writer has
+imitated him. To call the Fates _triplices de�_ (_Met._ viii. 481.), or
+_triplices sorores_ (_Met._ viii. 453.), was justifiable; but to term
+any one of them _triplex dea_, or to speak of her as spinning _triplici
+fuso_ or _triplici pollice_, was apparently to go beyond what the Latin
+language warranted. A. E. B. rightly observes that _triple_ must be
+explained as signifying "belonging to three conjoined;" but the use of
+it in such a sense is not to be supported either by custom or reason,
+whether in reference to the Latin language or to our own.
+
+MR. SINGER, in his observations on "captious," has a very unlucky
+remark, which A. E. B. unluckily repeats--"We, no doubt, all know," says
+MR. SINGER, "by intuition as it were, what Shakspeare meant." If we all
+know Shakspeare's meaning by intuition, how is it that the "true
+worshippers of Shakspeare" dispute about his meaning?

+_Family of Etty, the Artist_ (Vol. iii., p. 496.).--"Mr. Etty, Sen., the
+architect," mentioned in the passage quoted by your correspondent from
+Thoresby's _Diary_, was John Etty, who died Jan. 28th, 1709, at the age
+of seventy-five. Drake calls him "an ingenious architect," and quotes
+these lines from his epitaph in the church of All Saints, North Street,
+in York (_Eboracum_, p. 277.):--
+
+      "His art was great, his industry no less,
+      What one projected, t'other brought to pass."
+
+Although Thoresby and Drake dignify him with the title of architect, he
+was in fact a carpenter, or what would now be styled "a builder." Mr.
+Etty had several sons: Marmaduke, the painter mentioned by Thoresby, was
+one of them. He was called in those days a painter-stainer. Two others,
+James and William, were brought up to the business of a carpenter--as
+their father and grandfather were before then. William had two sons: the
+eldest of whom, John, was also a carpenter. The other was the Reverend
+Lewis Etty, clerk; who, about a century ago, was incumbent of one of the
+York churches. I suspect that no work is now extant which is known to be
+the production of either the architect or the painter; and, but for the
+incidental allusion to them in the _Diary_ of the Leeds antiquary, the
+memory of their very names had long since perished. The fact stated in
+the _Diary_, of Grinlin Gibbons having wrought at York with Mr. Etty,
+the architect, is not mentioned in any of the biographical notices of
+that skilful artist, although its accuracy may be safely accepted upon
+Thoresby's authority.
+
+The late William Etty, R.A., never claimed descent from the old York
+family. Most probably he did not know that such persons ever existed.
+His father, John Etty, and his grandfather, Matthew Etty, were
+established as millers at York during the latter part of the last
+century. To the occupation of a miller, John Etty added that of a
+ginger-bread baker; and in the house in Feasegate, York, where his
+distinguished son was born, he carried on an extensive business in
+supplying the smaller shops and itinerant dealers with gingerbread of
+all descriptions, when it was a more popular luxury or "folk-cate" than
+it is now. A characteristic anecdote is told of William Etty, which may
+not inappropriately be introduced here. In his latter days, when in the
+zenith of his fame, the large sum he was about to receive for one of his
+pictures was the subject of conversation at a friend's table. "Ah!" said
+the artist, with the quiet simplicity of manner for which he was
+remarkable, "it will serve to gild the gingerbread!"
+
+It is possible that a keen genealogist might succeed in connecting the
+illustrious artist of our day with the Ettys of Thoresby's time, and
+thus establish a case of hereditary genius. "Mr. Etty, the painter," had
+a son called John, who attained man's estate about the year 1710. He
+does not appear to have settled at York, and it is by no means out of
+the range of probability, that he was the progenitor of Matthew Etty,
+the miller; who was, I believe, a native of Hull, and who, by the way,
+named one of his sons, John.

+_Parish Register of Petworth_ (Vol. iii., pp. 449. 485. 510.).--By the
+parish register abstract accompanying the population returns of 1831, it
+appears that in that year the earliest existing register of Petworth
+commenced in 1559. We are indebted to the late Mr. Rickman for this
+abstract of the dates of all the parish registers in the kingdom; and it
+would be well if, at the next census, a similar return was called for,
+that it may be seen what registers are then missing.
+
+As to lost registers, I may state that I possess the bishop's
+transcripts of sixty registers, signed by the minister and churchwardens
+of parishes in the county of Kent; they comprise the baptisms,
+marriages, and burials for the years 1640 and 1641. The registers of
+sixteen of these parishes do not begin until after 1641, consequently
+these transcripts are the only records now existing of the baptisms,
+marriages, and burials in those sixteen parishes for 1640 and 1641.

+_Death_ (Vol. iii., p. 450.).--The ancients found in the successive
+transformations of the butterfly a striking and beautiful parallel to
+the more important career of human existence. Thus to their fancy the
+caterpillar, or _larva_, represented man's earthly course; the _pupa_,
+or chrysalis state, his death and utter inanition; while the perfect
+state of the insect typified man's rise to life and glory, a bright
+glorious being, without spot or trace of earthly stain. The Greeks from
+this notion named the butterfly "Psyche." A careful examination of the
+anatomy and physiology of the insect world will show the strict and
+amazing beauty of this simile.

+_Lord Mayor not a Privy Councillor_ (Vol. iv., p. 9.).--Your printer has
+misprinted _clamour_ instead of your own expression _demur_. Let me add
+that there was neither _clamour_ nor even _demur_ on that occasion--all
+went off quietly in the usual course. There is also an omission of two
+words in a subsequent line, which, though easily supplied, I may as well
+notice.
+
+"The proclamation is that of the _peers alone_, but assisted by the
+_others_," should rather be "the proclamation is that of the _peers
+alone_, but assisted by the _ex-Privy Councillors and others_," as this
+marks the distinction between the two classes of _assistants_ more
+strongly.

+
+Here he uses the word _complexion_ as something distinct from "tincture
+of the skin." The colour of the hair and irides commonly indicates the
+colour of the skin. If they are dark, the skin is ordinarily dark; and
+if blue or light, the skin is ordinarily fair. I have seen flaxen hair
+and surpassing whiteness of skin with eyes as black as death.

+Danish to the Saxon line, I would refer him to Lambard's _Perambulation

+_Nao, a Ship_ (Vol. iii., pp. 477. 509.).--I perfectly agree with GOMER
+that the early Britons must have possessed vessels more capacious than
+osier baskets or _cyry-glau_ before they were able to transport warlike
+assistance to their brethren the Armoricans of Gaul; but I can inform
+GOMER and A. N. in addition, that a much older term for a ship was made
+use of by the first inhabitants of Britain, namely _Naf_, from whence no
+doubt the Latin _Navis_ sprang; and from the same root the Welsh word
+_Nawf_, a swim (now used), was derived. This term _Naf_ is handed down
+to us in one of the oldest British triads, but which has been always, in
+my opinion, improperly interpreted. In speaking of the three master
+works of the island of Britain, is the ship of Nefydd Naf Neifion (or
+_Noah_); the translation is simply this--
+
+      Nefydd      _i. e._      The ship constructor
+      naf                      of the ship
+      neifion.                 of ships.
+
+Here you have the hero personified by his avocation, and the _noun_ from
+which the proper name is derived, both in the singular and plural
+number; in the latter sense it is made use of by D. ab Gwilym in the
+following couplet:
+
+      "Y nofiad a wnaeth _Neifion_
+      O Droia fawr draw i F�n."

+
+  "Perrot now walked in an erroneous path, grew worse from time to

+_Meaning of Senage_ (Vol. iv., p. 6.).--Have the kindness to inform W.

+Mancroft in this city, under the years 1582 and 1588, are entered as
+follows:--
+
+      "1582. Pd to the Bisshopp for Senage Money ... xxjd.
+      1588. Pd for Senage and Proxage to the Bisshopp, ixd."
+
+In Cowel's _Law Dictionary_, by Thomas Manley, folio, 1701, under the
+term "Senege," he says:
+
+  "There goes out yearly in Proxage and Senage 33_s._ 6_d._ Perhaps
+  senege may be money paid for Synodals, as Proxyes or
+  Procurations." "Proxyes are yearly payments made by parish priests
+  to their bishop, or archdeacon, in _lieu of victuals for the
+  visitor and his attendants_" (which it was formerly the custom to
+  provide).
+
+  "Senage. The Senes be only courts to gather Senage and Proxye. The
+  bishop should hold a Synod or Sene twice a year."--Becon's
+  _Reliques of Rome_, p. 213.
+
+  "The priests should come to the Sene as they were wont to do."
+
+The senes, courts, or ecclesiastical councils, were held for the purpose
+of correcting any neglect or omissions of the Church Reeves (as they
+were called), and fining them for such omissions, as well as receiving
+the usual and accustomed payments; and sometimes they were fined for
+having _secreted some Catholic reliques_, which were discovered by the
+visitors (of course after the Reformation), as I have found entries of
+fines having been paid; and more frequently are entries of "Payd for the
+withdraft" of the charge for some neglect in not providing articles
+necessary for the performance of divine worship.
+
+In Sir Thomas More's _Works_, folio, 1557, pp. 909., 991., "Senes or
+Indightments" (perhaps Citements or Citations) are mentioned.
+
+No doubt (I think) the term _senege_ is derived from these courts being
+termed "Senes" and "Seens."

+the several counties, not merely to collect the names of the gentry, but
+to administer an oath to the gentry and others for conservation of the
+peace and observance of the laws. The returns containing the names of
+the parties sworn in all the counties (except twelve) are printed by
+Fuller in his _Worthies_ from records in the Tower, which are probably
+yet extant. See _Rotuli Parliamentorum_, iv. 455.; v. 434.; Fuller's
+_Worthies of England_, chap. xiv.; Grimaldi's _Origines Genealogic�_,
+68, 69. I do not understand that all the parties who were sworn were

+"_We_ make the best rifles" is rather an assumption. That the Americans
+make most excellent ones, there can be no doubt; but I question whether
+they ever turned out a rifle which, either for finish or performance,
+would bear comparison with those made by Purdey, Lancaster, and others.
+As an example of what an English rifle will do, I subjoin the
+performance[4] of one made by Beattie of Regent Street on Minie's
+principle for an officer in the artillery now going out to the Cape. At
+_one thousand_ measured yards, sixteen balls out of thirty were put into
+the target; and at four hundred yards, balls were driven through four
+regulation targets, each of two inch oak, placed six inches apart from
+one another; and into the earthen mound behind them ten or twelve
+inches. If the Americans can beat that, either for precision or force,
+they may claim to make the best rifles.

+by the members; and, as completing the second volume of the collected
+edition of the works of _Thomas Heywood_, will give great satisfaction
+to those who urged upon the Shakspeare Society the propriety of printing

+
+In his _Manual of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Mind, by James
+Carlile, D.D._, the author has undertaken to write a popular treatise on
+an abstruse subject; and though he exhibits pains and method, yet we can
+hardly think that he has succeeded in his difficult task. One mistake he
+has evidently made. He seeks his illustrations too much from recent
+events, the Gorham controversy, the presidency of Louis Napoleon, and
+the like; references which are more calculated to degrade a great
+subject than to popularise it.
+
+In _The Gentleman's Magazine_ for the present month our readers will
+find a very able article, to which we beg to direct their attention, on
+the present state of English Historical Literature, the accessibility
+of our Historical Materials and the Record Offices. The article has
+apparently been called forth by a Memorial, addressed to the Master of
+the Rolls, requesting "that persons who are merely engaged in historical
+inquiry, antiquarian research, and other literary pursuits connected
+therewith, should have permission granted to them to have access to the
+Public Records, with the Indexes and Calendars, without payment of any
+Fee." This important document is signed by all the principal historical
+and antiquarian writers of the day: we should think, therefore, that
+there can be little fear of their prayer being refused. The writer of
+the article in the _Gentleman's Magazine_ has omitted two curious facts,
+which deserve mention,--one that Pinkerton was stopped in the progress
+of his History of Scotland by the fees for searches in the Scotch Record
+Offices; the other, that those fees in those very offices have recently
+been remitted.
+
+Mr. Douglas Allport has issued Proposals for the publication by
+subscription of a volume entitled _Kits Coty House, a Monograph_, which,
+as it is to treat not only of Kits Coty House, but of its Flora and
+Fauna, the Druidical Circles of Addington and Colebrook, the Antiquarian
+Relics and Traditions of the neighbourhood, Boxley and its Rood of
+Grace, Chaucer and the Pilgrim's Road, and other vestiges of bygone
+times, clearly has within its subject the materials for an amusing and
+interesting volume.

+  ILLUSTRATIONS AND ENQUIRIES RELATING TO MESMERISM. Part I. By the
+  REV. S. R. MAITLAND, D.D. F.R.S. F.S.A. Sometime Librarian to the
+  late Archbishop of Canterbury, and Keeper of the MSS. at Lambeth.
+
+    "One of the most valuable and interesting pamphlets we ever
+    read."--_Morning Herald._
+
+    "This publication, which promises to be the commencement of a
+    larger work, will well repay serious perusal."--_Ir. Eccl. Journ._
+
+    "A small pamphlet in which he throws a startling light on the
+    practices of modern Mesmerism."--_Nottingham Journal._
+
+    "Dr. Maitland, we consider, has here brought Mesmerism to the
+    'touchstone of truth,' to the test of the standard of right or
+    wrong. We thank him for this first instalment of his inquiry, and
+    hope that he will not long delay the remaining portions."--_London
+    Medical Gazette._
+
+    "The Enquiries are extremely curious, we should indeed say
+    important. That relating to the Witch of Endor is one of the most
+    successful we ever read. We cannot enter into particulars in this
+    brief notice; but we would strongly recommend the pamphlet even to
+    those who care nothing about Mesmerism, or angry (for it has come
+    to this at last) with the subject."--_Dublin Evening Post._
+
+    "We recommend its general perusal as being really an endeavour, by
+    one whose position gives him the best facilities, to ascertain the
+    genuine character of Mesmerism, which is so much
+    disputed."--_Woolmer's Exeter Gazette._
+
+    "Dr. Maitland has bestowed a vast deal of attention on the
+    subject for many years past, and the present pamphlet is in part
+    the result of his thoughts and inquiries. There is a good deal in
+    it which we should have been glad to quote ... but we content
+    ourselves with referring our readers to the pamphlet
+    itself."--_Brit Mag._

+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are

+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

+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+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.
+
+

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+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.
+

+PRIVATELY PRINTED BOOKS AND PRIVATELY ENGRAVED PORTRAITS.
+
+If the "NOTES AND QUERIES," in the course of its career, had only called
+the attention of antiquaries to the necessities of collecting epitaphs
+and inscriptions to the dead found in churches, and thus brought into
+active exertion a large number of zealous and intelligent recorders of
+monuments, its usefulness would have been fully established; but the
+multitude of suggestive hints and recommendations constantly appearing
+in its pages, added to the great amount of precise and unquestionable
+knowledge given to the public through its means, have established the
+publication as of the greatest importance to archaeologists, and literary
+men generally.
+
+A noble and highly regarded author (Lord Braybrooke) has recently shown
+the necessity for recording the existence of painted historical
+portraits, scattered, as we know they are, throughout residences of the
+nobility and gentry, and from thence too often descending to the humble
+dwelling or broker's warehouse, through the effluxion of time, the ill
+appreciation, in some instances, of those who possess them, or the
+urgencies of individuals: but there are other memorials of eminent
+persons extant, frequently the only ones, which, falling into the
+possession of but few persons, are to the seeker after biographical or
+topographical knowledge, for the most part, as though they had never
+existed. I allude to Privately Printed Books and Privately Engraved
+Portraits. Surely these might be made available to literary persons if
+their depository were generally known.
+
+How comparatively easy would it be for the readers of the "NOTES AND
+QUERIES," in each county, to transmit to its pages a short note of any
+privately engraved portrait, or privately printed volume, of which they
+may be possessed, or of which they have a perfect knowledge. Collectors
+could in most instances, if they felt inclined to open their stores,
+give the required information in a complete list, and no doubt would do
+so; but still a great assistance to those engaged in the toils of
+biographical or other study could be afforded by the transmission to
+these pages of the casual "Note," which happens to have been taken at a
+moment when the book or portrait passed under the inspection of a
+recorder who did not amass graphic or literary treasures.
+
+As respects some counties, much less has been done by the printing press
+to furnish this desideratum; at least that of privately engraved
+portraits. In Warwickshire, a list of all the portraits (with a few
+omissions) has within a few years been brought before the public in a
+volume. In Norfolk, the _Illustrations of Norfolk Topography_, a volume
+containing an enumeration of many thousand drawings and engravings,
+collected by Dawson Turner, Esq., of Great Yarmouth, to illustrate
+Blomefield's History of the county, is also a repertory of this kind of
+instruction, as far as portraits are concerned. Privately printed books
+are entirely unrecorded in this and most other localities. Without the
+publication now mentioned, persons having no personal knowledge of Mr.
+Turner's ample stores would be not only unacquainted with that
+gentleman's wonderful Norfolk collection, but also ignorant that through
+his liberality, and the elegant genius and labours of several members of
+his family, the portfolios of many of his friends have been enriched by
+the addition of portraits of many persons of great virtues, attainments,
+and learning, with whom he had become acquainted. In Suffolk, the
+veteran collectors, Mr. Elisha Davy, of Ufford, and Mr. William Fitch,
+of Ipswich, have compiled lists of portraits belonging to that county.
+These are, however, in manuscript, and therefore comparatively useless;
+though, to the honour of both these gentlemen let it be said, that no
+one ever asks in vain for assistance from their collections.
+
+I trust it can only be necessary to call attention to this source of
+knowledge, to be supported in a view of the necessity of a record open
+to all. I have taken the liberty to name the "NOTES AND QUERIES" as the
+storehouse for gathering these scattered memorabilia together, knowing
+no means of permanence superior, or more convenient, to literary
+persons, although I am not without fears indeed, perhaps convictions,
+that your present space would be too much burthened thereby.
+
+As the volume of "NOTES AND QUERIES" just completed has comprised a
+large amount of intelligence respecting the preservation of epitaphs,
+the present would, perhaps, be appropriately opened by a new subject of,
+I am inclined to think, nearly equal value.

+
+
+SARDONIC SMILES.
+
+A few words on the [Greek: Gelos sardanios], or Sardonius Risus, so
+celebrated in antiquity, may not be amiss, especially as the expression
+"a Sardonic smile" is a common one in our language.
+
+We find this epithet used by several Greek writers; it is even as old as
+_Homer's_ time, for we read in the _Odyssey_, [Greek: meidese de thymo
+sardanion mala toion], "but he laughed in his soul a very bitter laugh."
+The word was written indifferently [Greek: sardanios] and [Greek:
+sardonios]; and some lexicographers derive it from the verb [Greek:
+sairo], of [Greek: sesera], "to show the teeth, grin like a dog:"
+especially in scorn or malice. The more usual derivation is from [Greek:
+sardonion], a plant of Sardinia ([Greek: Sardo]), which was said to
+distort the face of the eater. In the English of the present day, a
+Sardonic laugh means a derisive, fiendish laugh, full of bitterness and
+mocking; stinging with insult and rancour. Lord Byron has hit it off in
+his portraiture of the Corsair, Conrad:
+
+      "There was a laughing devil in his sneer,
+      That rais'd emotions both of _rage_ and _fear_."
+
+In Izaak Walton's ever delightful _Complete Angler_, Venator, on coming
+to Tottenham High Cross, repeats his promised verse: "it is a copy
+printed among some of Sir Henry Wotton's, and doubtless made either by
+him or by a lover of angling." Here is the first stanza:--
+
+          "Quivering fears, heart-tearing cares,
+          Anxious sighs, untimely tears,
+              Fly, fly to courts,
+              Fly to fond worldlings' sports,
+      Where strained _Sardonic_ smiles are glosing still,
+      And Grief is forced to laugh against her will;
+          Where mirth's but mummery,
+          And sorrows only real be."
+
+In Sir J. Hawkins's edition is the following note on the word "Sardonic"
+in these lines:
+
+  "Feigned, or forced smiles, from the word _Sardon_, the name of an
+  herb resembling smallage, and growing in Sardinia, which, being
+  eaten by men, contracts the muscles, and excites laughter even to
+  death. Vide _Erasmi Adagia_, tit. RISUS."
+
+_Sardonic_, in this passage, means "forced, strained, unusual,
+artificial;" and is not taken in the worst sense. These lines of Sir H.
+Wotton's bring to mind some of Lorenzo de Medici's in a platonic poem of
+his, when he contrasts the court and country. I quote Mr. Roscoe's
+translation:--
+
+      "What the heart thinks, the tongue may here disclose,
+      Nor inward grief with outward smiles is drest;
+      Not like the world--where wisest he who knows
+      To hide the secret closest in his breast."
+
+The _Edinburgh Review_, July, 1849, in an article on Tyndale's
+_Sardinia_, says:
+
+  "The _Sardonic smile_, so celebrated in antiquity, baffles
+  research much more than the _intemperie_, nor have modern
+  physiologists thrown any light on the nature of the deleterious
+  plant which produces it. The tradition at least seems still to
+  survive in the country, and Mr. Tyndale adduces some evidence to
+  show that the _Ranunculus sceleratus_ was the herb to which these
+  exaggerated qualities were ascribed. Some insular antiquaries have
+  found a different solution of the ancient proverb. The ancient
+  Sardinians, they say, like many barbarous tribes, used to get rid
+  of their relations in extreme old age by throwing them alive into
+  deep pits; which attention it was the fashion for the venerable
+  objects of it to receive with great expressions of _delight_:
+  whence the saying of a Sardinian laugh (vulgo), laughing on the
+  wrong side of ones mouth. It seems not impossible, that the
+  phenomenon may have been a result of the effects of 'Intemperie'
+  working on weak constitutions, and in circumstances favourable to
+  physical depression--like the epidemic chorea, and similar
+  complaints, of which such strange accounts are read in medical
+  books."

+
+
+PRIVATE AMOURS OF OLIVER CROMWELL.
+
+I know nothing more of the enclosed, than that I found it with the MS.
+which I lately sent you on the subject of Cromwell's "Dealings with the
+Devil" (Vol. iii., p. 282.).
+
+I should conclude it to be a carelessly-made transcript of a
+contemporary MS., the production, probably, of some warm royalist, who
+may, or may not, have had some grounds for his assertions. At all
+events, it gives a few curious details, and, in its general outline,
+agrees singularly with the incidents on which Mrs. Behn's play, _The
+Round Heads; or The Good Old Cause_, is founded: sufficiently so to give
+it at least an air of authenticity, so far as the popular belief of the
+day was concerned.
+
+    S. H. H.
+
+  "After Cromwell had been declared General of the Commonwealth's
+  Forces, he seized the possessions of the Royalists, who had
+  escaped his implacable resentment; and the New Hall fell to the
+  share of the Usurper, who, flushed with the victory of Worcester,
+  disposed at pleasure of the forsaken seates of the noble
+  Fugitives, who still supported Charles II.'s Drooping Standards;
+  and adding insulte to oppression, commanded the domesticks of the
+  Duke of Buckingham to follow their master's desperate fortune, and
+  to carry him five shillings, which he might want in his exile, for
+  the purchase of a Lordship, whose yearly value exceeded then
+  1300_l._ Cromwell kept possession of New Hall till he assumed the
+  title of Protector, and was instaled at White Hall, in the Pallace
+  of the English Kings: Then he chose Hampton Court for his Summer
+  Residence. He led at New Hall an obscure life, without pomp,
+  without luxury, having but two servants in his retinue. Though his
+  manners were natuaraly austere, he had some private amoures, which
+  he indulged with great Caution and Secrecy. His favourites were
+  General Lambert's wife and Major-General Vernon's sister: the
+  first was a well-bred, genteel woman, fatheless to her husband
+  from natural aversion, and attached to Cromwell from a conformity
+  of inclination in a mysterious enjoyment and stolen embraces, with
+  mask of religious deportment and severe virtue: the other was a
+  person made to inspire lust and desire, but selfish, revengfull,
+  and indiscreet. These too rivals heartily detested each other:
+  Mrs. Lambert reproached Cromwell for his affection to a worthless,
+  giddy, and wanton woman; and Mrs. Vernon laughed at him for being
+  the dupe of the affected fondness and hipocry of an artful
+  Mistress. They once met at the house of Colonel Hammond, a
+  Creature of Cromwell's, and reviled each other with the most
+  virulent sarcasms. Mrs. Lambert, fired with rage and resentment,
+  went immediately to New Hall, where Oliver was at that juncture,
+  and insisted upon her Rival's dismission for her unprovoked
+  outrage. Cromwell, who was then past the meridian of voluptuous
+  sensations, sacrificed the person he was no longer fit to enjoy,
+  to a woman who had gained his esteem and confidence, and delegated
+  to Mrs. Lambert all the domestic concerns of his house in Essex.
+  Cromwell's wife, called afterwards the Protectress, was a sober
+  helpmate, who, dressed in humble stuff, like a Quaker, neither
+  interfered in his amours or politics. She never went to New Hall
+  but once, and that was on the 25th of April, 1652, when he invited
+  all his family to a grand entertainment on account of his
+  Birthday. The other Guests were, his mother, who survived his
+  elevation to the Protectorship: she was a virtuous woman of the
+  name of Stewart, related to the Royall Family; Desborough, his
+  brother-in law; and Fleetwood, who had married his daughter; his
+  Eldest Son, Richard, a man of an inoffensive and unambitious
+  Character, who had been married some years, and lived in the
+  country on a small estate which he possessed in right of his wife,
+  where he spent his time in acts of benevolence: at the trial of
+  Charles I. he fell on his knees and conjured his Father in the
+  most pathetic manner to spare the life of his Sovereign; his
+  brother Henry, afterwards Govonor of Ireland, where he was
+  universally beloved for his mild administration; Mrs. Claypole,
+  the darling of her father; and his three other daughters: Mrs.
+  Rich, married to the Grandson and heir of the Earl of Warwick;
+  Lady Falconbridge; and the Youngest, who lived in celibacy. They
+  spent a week at New Hall, in innocent mirth and jollity; Oliver
+  himself joining in convivial pleasure with his children,
+  disengaged the whole time from state affairs and Political
+  Speculations.
+
+  "His constant visitors at New Hall were some Regicides, and the
+  meanest, lowest, and most ignorant among the Citizens on whome he
+  had decreed that the Sovereign power should be vested. To excell
+  in Fanaticism seemed a necessary qualification in this new
+  parliment; and Oliver foresaw that they would soon throw up the
+  reins of Government, which they were unqualified to guide, and
+  raise himself to an unlimited power far beyond that of former
+  Kings.
+
+  "It seems Mrs. Lambert continued to reside at New Hall during
+  Cromwell's Protectorship, and that Col. Wite, his trusty friend,
+  was often sent with kind messages and preasants from Oliver, who
+  travelled himself in the night, with hurry and precipitation, to
+  enjoy with her some moments of domestic comfort and tranquility."
+
+
+SPURIOUS EDITION OF BAILY'S ANNUITIES.
+
+In the course of last year a curious and impudent bibliographical fraud
+was perpetrated by some parties unknown. I am not aware that it has been
+publicly exposed as yet.
+
+The celebrated work on annuities, by the late Francis Baily, was
+published in 1810 by Richardson, and printed by Richard Taylor. It was
+at first in one volume: but on the publication of an appendix in 1813,
+two titles were printed with this last date, and the stock then
+remaining was sold in two volumes. As the book became scarce, it
+gradually rose in price, until, when by a rare chance a copy came to the
+hammer, it seldom fetched less than five guineas. This price was
+lowered, as well by the general decline in the price of old books, as
+by the sale of Mr. Baily's own library in 1844, which threw a few copies
+into the market; but the work was still saleable at more than the
+original price. In the course of last year, copies, as it was pretended,
+of the original edition were offered at the assurance offices, and to
+individuals known to be interested in the subject, at twenty-five
+shillings. Some were taken in, others saw the trick at once. There has
+been, in fact, a reprint without any statement of the circumstance, and
+without a printer's name; but with a strong, and, on the whole,
+successful attempt at imitation of the peculiar typography of the work.
+If the execution had been as good as the imitation, the success would
+have been greater. But this is wretchedly bad, and will amuse those who
+know how very particular Mr. Baily always was in his superintendence of
+the press, and how plainly his genuine works bear the marks of it.
+
+The spurious edition may be known at once by the title-page, in which
+the words "an appendix" are printed in open letter, which is not the
+case in the original. Also by "Leienitz," instead of "Leibnitz" in page
+xi. of the preface. Also by the Greek letter [Greek: delta rotated 180
+degrees] throughout, which is, in the spurious edition, never anything
+but an inverted [Greek: delta], which looks as if it were trying to kick
+backwards.
+
+In all probability, the agents in this shabby trick are beneath reproof;
+but it is desirable that the reputation of the author whom they have
+chosen for its object should not suffer from the effects of their
+misprint. And as the work they have appropriated is only used by a small
+public, and a reading one, the mode of exposure which I here adopt will
+probably be sufficient.
+
+The spurious edition is now on the stalls at a few shillings; and, as a
+curiosity, will be worth its price.

+Minor Notes.
+
+_Les Anguilles de Melun._--"Les anguilles de Melun crient avant qu'on
+les ecorche" is a well-known proverb in that town; and as some of your
+readers may be curious to learn the circumstances in which it
+originated, I send them to you for "NOTES AND QUERIES."
+
+According to the traditions of the Church, Saint Bartholomew was flayed
+alive, and his skin rolled up and tied to his back. When the religious
+dramas, called _Mysteries_, came into vogue, this martyrdom was
+represented on the stage at Melun, and the character of the saint was
+personated by one _Languille_. In the course of the performance, the
+executioner, armed with a knife, made his appearance; and as he
+proceeded to counterfeit the operation of flaying, Languille became
+terrified and uttered the most piteous cries, to the great amusement of
+the spectators. The audience thereupon exclaimed, "Languille crie avant
+qu'on l'ecorche;" and hence the "jeu de mots," and the proverb.

+_Derivation of Mews._--
+
+"Muette. C'est le nom qu'on donne a un Edifice eleve au bout d'un parc
+de maison royale ou seigneuriale, pour servir de logement aux officiers
+de la venerie, et dans lequel il y a aussi des Chenils, des cours,
+ecuries, &c. Ce terme _Muette_, vient, dit-on, de _Mue_, parceque c'est
+dans ces maisons que les Gardes, et autres officiers de chasse,
+apportent les _Mues_ ou bois que les Cerfs quittent et laissent dans les
+Forets."--Lacombe, _Dictionnaire portatif des Beaux Arts, &c._ Nouvelle
+Edition: Paris, 1759.
+
+Is this a better explanation of the English word _mews_ than has
+generally been given by writers?

+_Curious Monumental Inscriptions._--In the south aisle of Martham
+Church, Norfolk, are two slabs, of which one, nearly defaced, bears the
+following inscription:
+
+      Here Lyeth
+      The Body of Christo
+      Burraway, who departed
+      this Life ye 18 day
+      of October, Anno Domini
+      1730.
+      Aged 59 years.
+
+      And there Lyes [pointing hand symbol]
+      Alice who by hir Life
+      Was my Sister, my mistres
+      My mother and my wife.
+      Dyed Feb. ye 12. 1729.
+      Aged 76 years.
+
+The following explanation is given of this enigmatical statement.
+Christopher Burraway was the fruit of an incestuous connexion between a
+father and daughter, and was early placed in the Foundling Hospital,
+from whence, when he came of age, he was apprenticed to a farmer. Coming
+in after years by chance to Martham, he was hired unwittingly by his own
+mother as farm steward, her father (or rather the father of both) being
+dead. His conduct proving satisfactory to his mistress she married him
+who thus became, successively, mother, sister, mistress, and wife, to

+his wife to be her son, by a peculiar mark on his shoulder, she was so
+horror-stricken that she soon after died, he surviving her scarcely four
+months. Of the other slab enough remains to show that it covered her
+remains; but the registers from 1729 to 1740 are unfortunately missing
+so that I cannot trace the family further.

+_Principle of Notation by Coalwhippers, &c._--I shall feel much obliged
+to any of your readers who can inform me whether the principle adopted
+by the coalwhippers on the river Thames, and by the seafaring class in
+general, is adopted by any other class in these islands, or particularly
+in the North of Europe.
+
+This principle may be thus explained, viz.:
+
+1. A set of four perpendicular, equal, and equidistant straight lines
+are cut by a diagonal line, which runs from _right_ to _left_; that is
+to say, from the higher end of the fourth line to the lower extremity of
+the first line. This diagonal then represents number 5, and completes
+the scale or tally of 5.
+
+2. A similar set of four lines are cut by another diagonal, which passes
+from _left_ to _right_, or from the higher extremity of number one, to
+the lower extremity of number four. The diagonal thus completes the
+second score or tally for number 5.
+
+The two fives are marked or scored separately, and the diagonals thus
+form a series of alternations, which, when repeated, form a scale of
+ten, the tally of the _coalwhippers_.
+
+The "navvies" of the railroads carry this principle somewhat further.
+They form a cross with two diagonals on the perpendiculars, and count
+for ten; then, by repeating the process, they have a division into tens,
+and count by two tens, or a score.

+

+
+With regard to Mathew de Bitton, he was son and heir of John de Bitton
+and Havisia Furneaux. The residence of the family was at Hanham, in the
+parish of Bitton, Gloucestershire, at a place afterwards called "Barre's
+Court," from Sir John Barre, who married Joan, the great-granddaughter
+of the said Mathew. The house abutted on the Chace of Kingswood.
+
+In the 48th of Edward III. a writ was issued, to inquire who were the
+destroyers of the deer and game in his Majesty's Chace, when it was
+found that Mathew de Bitton was "Communis malefactor de venasione Dom.

+ambassador, being compelled to substitute the word "amity" for the word
+"concord" suspended in coloured lamps, in consequence of the irritated
+mob's determination to assault his house, unless the offensive word
+"concord" were removed, the said mob reading it as though it were
+spelled "conquered," and inferring thence that M. Otto intended to
+insinuate that John Bull was _conquered_ by France. The story, moreover,
+goes on to relate that the mob also insisted that the blazing initials
+G.R. should be surmounted by an illuminated crown. This anecdote,
+notwithstanding its embalmment in the _Annual Register_, has always
+borne in my eyes an apocryphal air. It assumes that the mob was ignorant
+and intellectual at the same moment; that whilst it was in a riotous
+mood it was yet in a temper to be reasoned with, and able to comprehend
+the reasons addressed to it. But one cannot help fancying that the
+mental calibre which understood "concord" to mean "conquered," would
+just as readily believe that "amity" meant "enmity," to say nought of
+its remarkable patience in waiting to see the changes dictated by itself
+carried out. This circumstance occurred, if at all, within the memory of

+PRINCESSES OF WALES.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 477.)
+
+The statement of Hume, that Elizabeth and Mary were created Princesses
+of Wales, rests, I am disposed to think, on most insufficient authority;
+and I am surprised that so illustrious an author should have made an
+assertion on such slender grounds, which carries on the face of it a
+manifest absurdity, and which was afterwards retracted by the very
+author from whom he borrowed it.
+
+Hume's authority is evidently Burnet's _History of the Reformation_;
+(indeed, in some editions your correspondent G. would have seen Burnet
+referred to) in which are the following passages (vol. i. p. 71., Oxford
+edition, 1829):
+
+  "The King, being out of hopes of more children, declared his
+  daughter (Mary) Princess of Wales, and sent her to Ludlow to hold
+  her court there, and projected divers matches for her."
+
+Again, p. 271.:
+
+  "Elizabeth was soon after declared Princess of Wales; though
+  lawyers thought that against law, for she was only heir
+  presumptive, but not apparent, to the crown, since a son coming
+  after he must be preferred. Yet the king would justify what he had
+  done in his marriage with all possible respect; and having before
+  declared the Lady Mary Princess of Wales, he did now the same in
+  favour of the Lady Elizabeth."
+
+Hume's statement is taken almost verbatim from this last passage of
+Burnet, who, however, it will be observed, does not say "created," but
+"declared" Princess of Wales; the distinction between which is obvious.
+He was evidently not aware that Burnet afterwards corrected this
+statement in an Appendix, entitled, "Some Mistakes in the first Portion
+of this History communicated to me by Mr. William Fulman, Rector of
+Hampton Meysey, in Gloucestershire." In this is the following note, in
+correction of the passages I have quoted (Burn. _Hist. Ref._, vol. iv.
+p. 578.):
+
+  "Here and in several other places it is supposed that the next
+  heir apparent of the crown was Prince of Wales. The heir apparent
+  of the crown is indeed prince, but not, strictly speaking, of
+  Wales, unless he has it given him by creation; and it is said that
+  there is nothing on record to prove that any of Henry's children
+  were ever created Prince of Wales. There are indeed some hints of
+  the Lady Mary's being styled Princess of Wales; for when a family
+  was appointed for her, 1525, Veysey, bishop of Exeter, her tutor,
+  was made president of Wales. She also is said to have kept her
+  house at Ludlow; and Leland says, that Tekenhill, a house in those
+  parts, built for Prince Arthur, was prepared for her. And Thomas
+  Linacre dedicates his _Rudiments of Grammar_ to her, by the title
+  of Princess of Cornwall and Wales."
+
+This is one of the many instances of the inaccuracy, carelessness, and
+(where his religious or political prejudices were not concerned)
+credulity of Burnet. Whatever he found written in any previous
+historian, unless it militated against his preconceived opinions, he
+received as true, without considering whether the writer was entitled to
+credit, and had good means of gaining information. Now, neither Hall,
+Holinshed, Polydore Virgil, nor (I think) Cardinal Pole, contemporary
+writers, say anything about Mary or Elizabeth being Princesses of Wales.
+The only writer I am acquainted with who does say any such thing,
+previous to Burnet, and whose authority I am therefore compelled to
+suppose the latter relied on, when he made the statement which he
+afterwards contradicted, is Pollini, an obscure Italian Dominican, who
+wrote a work entitled _L'Historia Ecclesiastica della Rivoluzion
+d'Inghilterra; Racolta da Gravissimi Scrittori non meno di quella
+Nazione, che dell' altri, da F. Girolamo Pollini dell' ordine de
+Predicatori, della Provincio de Toscana_: Roma, Facciotti, 1594. In book
+i. chapter ii. page 7. of this author is the following statement, which
+I translate, speaking of the Princess Mary:
+
+  "As the rightful heir of the throne she was declared by Henry, her
+  father, Princess of Wales, which is the ordinary title borne by
+  the first-born of the king; since the administration and
+  government of this province is allowed to no other, except to that
+  son or daughter of the king, to whom, by hereditary right, on the
+  death of the king the government of the realm falls.... In the
+  same way that the first-born of the French king is called the
+  Dauphin, so the first-born of the English king is called Prince of
+  Britain, or of Wales, which is a province of that large island,
+  lying to the west, and containing four bishoprics. Which Mary,
+  with the dignity and title of Princess, assisted by a most
+  illustrious senate, and accompanied by a splendid establishment,
+  administered with much prudence," &c.
+
+Pollini's history is, as may be supposed, of very little historical
+value; and one feels surprised that, on a point like the present, Burnet
+should have allowed himself to be misled by him. But still more
+remarkable, in my opinion, is the use Miss Strickland makes of this
+author. After several times giving him as her authority at the foot of
+the page, by the name of _Pollino_, but without giving the least
+information as to the name of his work, or who he was, she has the
+following note relating to the passage I have quoted (_Lives of the
+Queens of England_, vol. v. p. 156.):
+
+  "The Italian then carefully explains that the Princes of Wales
+  were in the same position, in regard to the English crown, as the
+  Dauphins were to that of France. Pollino must have had good
+  documentary evidence, since he describes Mary's council and court,
+  which he calls a senate, exactly as if the Privy Council books had
+  been open to him. _He says four bishops were attached to this
+  court._"
+
+It seems to one a singular mode of proving that Pollini must have had
+good documentary evidence, by saying that he speaks exactly and
+positively; and I would ask what _good_ documentary evidence would a
+Florentine friar be likely to have, who certainly never was in England,
+and in all probability never far from his convent? But it is the
+statement about the bishops that I wish more particularly to allude to,
+as I can find _no statement to that effect in Pollini_, and can only
+suppose that Miss Strickland misunderstood the passage (quoted above)
+where he says the province of Wales contains four bishoprics.
+
+I think I have now shown that Hume's statement rests on no sufficient
+grounds as to the authority from whence he derived it. But there is yet
+another reason against it, which is this: it would be necessary, before
+Elizabeth was created Princess of Wales, that Mary should be deprived of
+it; and this could only be done by a special act of parliament. But we
+find no act of such a nature passed in the reign of Henry VIII. There
+are other reasons also against it; but having, I think, said enough to
+show the want of any foundation for the assertion, I shall not trouble
+you any further.

+
+THE LATE MR. WILLIAM HONE.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 477.)
+
+In reply to the inquiry of E.V. relative to the conversion of the late
+Mr. William Hone, I send a slight reminiscence of him, which may perhaps
+be generally interesting to the readers of the _Every Day Book_. It was
+soon after the period when Mr. Hone (at the time afflicted both in "body
+and estate") began to acknowledge the truths of Christianity, that I
+accidentally had an interview with him, though a perfect stranger. Our
+conversation was brief, but it turned upon the adaptation of the
+Christian religion to the wants of man, in all the varied stations in
+which he may be placed on earth, independent of its assurance of a
+better state hereafter. With child-like meekness, and earnest sincerity,
+the once contemner and reviler of Christianity testified to me that all
+his hope for the future was in the great atonement made to reconcile
+fallen man to his Creator.
+
+Before we parted, I was anxious to possess his autograph, and asked him
+for it; as I had made some collection towards illustrating, his _Every
+Day Book_, to which it would have been no inconsiderable addition. After
+a moment of deep thought, he presented me with a slip of paper inscribed
+as follows, in his small and usual very neat hand:--
+
+      "'He that increaseth knowledge
+              increaseth sorrow.'[3]
+
+      "_Think on this._
+
+      "W. HONE.
+
+      "15 January, 1839."
+
+  [Footnote 3: Ecclesiastes, i. 18.]
+
+Shortly after his death, the following appeared in the _Evangelical
+Magazine_, which I transcribed at the time:--
+
+   "The following was written by Mr. Hone on a blank leaf in his
+   pocket Bible. On a particular occasion he displaced the leaf, and
+   presented it to a gentleman whom we know, and who has correctly
+   copied its contents for publication.
+
+      LINES
+
+      _Written before Breakfast, 3rd June 1834,
+      the Anniversary of my Birthday in 1780._
+
+      'The proudest heart that ever beat,
+        Hath been subdued in me;
+      The wildest will that ever rose,
+      To scorn Thy cause, and aid Thy foes,
+        Is quell'd, my God, by Thee.
+
+      'Thy will, and not my will, be done;
+        My heart be ever Thine;
+      Confessing Thee, the mighty Word,
+      I hail Thee Christ, my God, my Lord,
+        And make Thy Name my sign.
+
+      'W. HONE.'"
+
+At the sale of Mr. Hone's books, I purchased a bundle of religious
+pamphlets; among them was _Cecil's Friendly Visit to the House of
+Mourning_. From the pencillings in it, it appears to have afforded him
+much comfort in the various trials, mental and bodily, which it is well
+known clouded his latter days.

+
+SHAKSPEARE'S "SMALL LATIN."--HIS USE OF "TRIPLE."
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 497.)
+
+In reference to the observations of A. E. B., I beg leave to say that,
+in speaking of Shakspeare as a man who had _small Latin_, I intended no
+irreverence to his genius. I am no worshipper of Shakspeare, or of any
+man; but I am willing to do full justice, and to pay all due veneration,
+to those powers which, with little aid from education, exalted their
+possessor to the heights of dramatic excellence.
+
+As to the extent of Shakspeare's knowledge of Latin, I think that it was
+well estimated by Johnson, when he said that "Shakspeare had Latin
+enough to grammaticize his English." Had he possessed much more than was
+sufficient for this purpose, Ben Jonson would hardly have called his
+knowledge of the language _small_; for about the signification of
+_small_ there can be no doubt, or about Ben's ability to determine
+whether it was small or not. But this consideration has nothing to do
+with the appreciation of Shakspeare's intellect: Shakspeare might know
+little of Latin and less of Greek, and yet be comparable to AEschylus,
+Sophocles, and Euripides; as Burns, who may be said to have known no
+Latin, is comparable, in many passages, even to Horace. "The great
+instrument of the man of genius," says Thomas Moore, "is his own
+language," which some knowledge of another language may assist him to
+wield, but to the wielding of which the knowledge of another language is
+by no means necessary. The great dramatists of Greece were, in all
+probability, entirely ignorant of any language but their own; but such
+ignorance did not incapacitate them from using their own with effect,
+nor is to be regarded as being, in any way, any detraction from their
+merits. Shakspeare had but a limited acquaintance with Latin, but such
+limited acquaintance caused no debilitation of his mental powers, nor is
+to be mentioned at all to his disparagement. I desire, therefore, to be
+acquitted, both by A. E. B. and by all your other readers, of
+entertaining any disrespect for Shakspeare's high intellectual powers.
+
+As to his usage of the word _triple_, that it is "fairly traced to
+Shakspeare's own reading" might not unreasonably be disputed. We may,
+however, concede, if A. E. B. wishes, that it was derived from his own
+reading, _as no trace of its being borrowed is to be found_. But I am
+not sure that if other writers had taken pains to establish this use of
+the word in our tongue, its establishment would have been much of a
+"convenient acquisition." Had any man who has three sisters, closely
+conjoined in bonds of amity, the privilege of calling any one of them a
+_triple sister_, I do not consider that he or his language would be
+much benefited. Ovid, I fear, employed _triplex_ "improperly," as
+Warburton says that Shakspeare employed _triple_, when he spoke of the
+Fates spinning _triplici pollice_. I cannot find that any writer has
+imitated him. To call the Fates _triplices deae_ (_Met._ viii. 481.), or
+_triplices sorores_ (_Met._ viii. 453.), was justifiable; but to term
+any one of them _triplex dea_, or to speak of her as spinning _triplici
+fuso_ or _triplici pollice_, was apparently to go beyond what the Latin
+language warranted. A. E. B. rightly observes that _triple_ must be
+explained as signifying "belonging to three conjoined;" but the use of
+it in such a sense is not to be supported either by custom or reason,
+whether in reference to the Latin language or to our own.
+
+MR. SINGER, in his observations on "captious," has a very unlucky
+remark, which A. E. B. unluckily repeats--"We, no doubt, all know," says
+MR. SINGER, "by intuition as it were, what Shakspeare meant." If we all
+know Shakspeare's meaning by intuition, how is it that the "true
+worshippers of Shakspeare" dispute about his meaning?

+
+_Family of Etty, the Artist_ (Vol. iii., p. 496.).--"Mr. Etty, Sen., the
+architect," mentioned in the passage quoted by your correspondent from
+Thoresby's _Diary_, was John Etty, who died Jan. 28th, 1709, at the age
+of seventy-five. Drake calls him "an ingenious architect," and quotes
+these lines from his epitaph in the church of All Saints, North Street,
+in York (_Eboracum_, p. 277.):--
+
+      "His art was great, his industry no less,
+      What one projected, t'other brought to pass."
+
+Although Thoresby and Drake dignify him with the title of architect, he
+was in fact a carpenter, or what would now be styled "a builder." Mr.
+Etty had several sons: Marmaduke, the painter mentioned by Thoresby, was
+one of them. He was called in those days a painter-stainer. Two others,
+James and William, were brought up to the business of a carpenter--as
+their father and grandfather were before then. William had two sons: the
+eldest of whom, John, was also a carpenter. The other was the Reverend
+Lewis Etty, clerk; who, about a century ago, was incumbent of one of the
+York churches. I suspect that no work is now extant which is known to be
+the production of either the architect or the painter; and, but for the
+incidental allusion to them in the _Diary_ of the Leeds antiquary, the
+memory of their very names had long since perished. The fact stated in
+the _Diary_, of Grinlin Gibbons having wrought at York with Mr. Etty,
+the architect, is not mentioned in any of the biographical notices of
+that skilful artist, although its accuracy may be safely accepted upon
+Thoresby's authority.
+
+The late William Etty, R.A., never claimed descent from the old York
+family. Most probably he did not know that such persons ever existed.
+His father, John Etty, and his grandfather, Matthew Etty, were
+established as millers at York during the latter part of the last
+century. To the occupation of a miller, John Etty added that of a
+ginger-bread baker; and in the house in Feasegate, York, where his
+distinguished son was born, he carried on an extensive business in
+supplying the smaller shops and itinerant dealers with gingerbread of
+all descriptions, when it was a more popular luxury or "folk-cate" than
+it is now. A characteristic anecdote is told of William Etty, which may
+not inappropriately be introduced here. In his latter days, when in the
+zenith of his fame, the large sum he was about to receive for one of his
+pictures was the subject of conversation at a friend's table. "Ah!" said
+the artist, with the quiet simplicity of manner for which he was
+remarkable, "it will serve to gild the gingerbread!"
+
+It is possible that a keen genealogist might succeed in connecting the
+illustrious artist of our day with the Ettys of Thoresby's time, and
+thus establish a case of hereditary genius. "Mr. Etty, the painter," had
+a son called John, who attained man's estate about the year 1710. He
+does not appear to have settled at York, and it is by no means out of
+the range of probability, that he was the progenitor of Matthew Etty,
+the miller; who was, I believe, a native of Hull, and who, by the way,
+named one of his sons, John.

+_Parish Register of Petworth_ (Vol. iii., pp. 449. 485. 510.).--By the
+parish register abstract accompanying the population returns of 1831, it
+appears that in that year the earliest existing register of Petworth
+commenced in 1559. We are indebted to the late Mr. Rickman for this
+abstract of the dates of all the parish registers in the kingdom; and it
+would be well if, at the next census, a similar return was called for,
+that it may be seen what registers are then missing.
+
+As to lost registers, I may state that I possess the bishop's
+transcripts of sixty registers, signed by the minister and churchwardens
+of parishes in the county of Kent; they comprise the baptisms,
+marriages, and burials for the years 1640 and 1641. The registers of
+sixteen of these parishes do not begin until after 1641, consequently
+these transcripts are the only records now existing of the baptisms,
+marriages, and burials in those sixteen parishes for 1640 and 1641.

+_Death_ (Vol. iii., p. 450.).--The ancients found in the successive
+transformations of the butterfly a striking and beautiful parallel to
+the more important career of human existence. Thus to their fancy the
+caterpillar, or _larva_, represented man's earthly course; the _pupa_,
+or chrysalis state, his death and utter inanition; while the perfect
+state of the insect typified man's rise to life and glory, a bright
+glorious being, without spot or trace of earthly stain. The Greeks from
+this notion named the butterfly "Psyche." A careful examination of the
+anatomy and physiology of the insect world will show the strict and
+amazing beauty of this simile.

+_Lord Mayor not a Privy Councillor_ (Vol. iv., p. 9.).--Your printer has
+misprinted _clamour_ instead of your own expression _demur_. Let me add
+that there was neither _clamour_ nor even _demur_ on that occasion--all
+went off quietly in the usual course. There is also an omission of two
+words in a subsequent line, which, though easily supplied, I may as well
+notice.
+
+"The proclamation is that of the _peers alone_, but assisted by the
+_others_," should rather be "the proclamation is that of the _peers
+alone_, but assisted by the _ex-Privy Councillors and others_," as this
+marks the distinction between the two classes of _assistants_ more
+strongly.

+_Meaning of Complexion_ (Vol. i., p. 352.).--Addison says in Cato:
+
+      "'Tis not a set of features or complexion,
+      The tincture of a skin that I admire."
+
+Here he uses the word _complexion_ as something distinct from "tincture
+of the skin." The colour of the hair and irides commonly indicates the
+colour of the skin. If they are dark, the skin is ordinarily dark; and
+if blue or light, the skin is ordinarily fair. I have seen flaxen hair
+and surpassing whiteness of skin with eyes as black as death.

+_Gillingham_ (Vol. iii., pp. 448. 505.).--As a means of furnishing your
+correspondent QUIDAM with some historical and local data that may tend
+to identify the place where that memorable council was convened, by
+which the succession to the English crown was transferred from the
+Danish to the Saxon line, I would refer him to Lambard's _Perambulation
+of Kent_, published in 1596, pp. 351, 352, 353., as adducing strong
+evidence in favour of the council alluded to having been held at

+
+_Nao, a Ship_ (Vol. iii., pp. 477. 509.).--I perfectly agree with GOMER
+that the early Britons must have possessed vessels more capacious than
+osier baskets or _cyry-glau_ before they were able to transport warlike
+assistance to their brethren the Armoricans of Gaul; but I can inform
+GOMER and A. N. in addition, that a much older term for a ship was made
+use of by the first inhabitants of Britain, namely _Naf_, from whence no
+doubt the Latin _Navis_ sprang; and from the same root the Welsh word
+_Nawf_, a swim (now used), was derived. This term _Naf_ is handed down
+to us in one of the oldest British triads, but which has been always, in
+my opinion, improperly interpreted. In speaking of the three master
+works of the island of Britain, is the ship of Nefydd Naf Neifion (or
+_Noah_); the translation is simply this--
+
+      Nefydd      _i. e._      The ship constructor
+      naf                      of the ship
+      neifion.                 of ships.
+
+Here you have the hero personified by his avocation, and the _noun_ from
+which the proper name is derived, both in the singular and plural
+number; in the latter sense it is made use of by D. ab Gwilym in the
+following couplet:
+
+      "Y nofiad a wnaeth _Neifion_
+      O Droia fawr draw i Fon."
+
+      "The swimming, that the ships performed

+this date is in p. 290. of Sewel's _History of the Quakers_:
+
+  "Perrot now walked in an erroneous path, grew worse from time to
+  time; even to that degree that, being come into America, he fell
+  into manifold sensualities and works of the flesh; for he not only

+_Meaning of Senage_ (Vol. iv., p. 6.).--Have the kindness to inform W.
+H., that in my extracts from the Parish Account Book of St. Peter's
+Mancroft in this city, under the years 1582 and 1588, are entered as
+follows:--
+
+      "1582. Pd to the Bisshopp for Senage Money ... xxjd.
+      1588. Pd for Senage and Proxage to the Bisshopp, ixd."
+
+In Cowel's _Law Dictionary_, by Thomas Manley, folio, 1701, under the
+term "Senege," he says:
+
+  "There goes out yearly in Proxage and Senage 33_s._ 6_d._ Perhaps
+  senege may be money paid for Synodals, as Proxyes or
+  Procurations." "Proxyes are yearly payments made by parish priests
+  to their bishop, or archdeacon, in _lieu of victuals for the
+  visitor and his attendants_" (which it was formerly the custom to
+  provide).
+
+  "Senage. The Senes be only courts to gather Senage and Proxye. The
+  bishop should hold a Synod or Sene twice a year."--Becon's
+  _Reliques of Rome_, p. 213.
+
+  "The priests should come to the Sene as they were wont to do."
+
+The senes, courts, or ecclesiastical councils, were held for the purpose
+of correcting any neglect or omissions of the Church Reeves (as they
+were called), and fining them for such omissions, as well as receiving
+the usual and accustomed payments; and sometimes they were fined for
+having _secreted some Catholic reliques_, which were discovered by the
+visitors (of course after the Reformation), as I have found entries of
+fines having been paid; and more frequently are entries of "Payd for the
+withdraft" of the charge for some neglect in not providing articles
+necessary for the performance of divine worship.
+
+In Sir Thomas More's _Works_, folio, 1557, pp. 909., 991., "Senes or
+Indightments" (perhaps Citements or Citations) are mentioned.
+
+No doubt (I think) the term _senege_ is derived from these courts being
+termed "Senes" and "Seens."

+_Early Visitations_ (Vol. iv., p. 8.).--Your remark that Mr. Noble's

+although in the particular instance referred to there is some foundation
+for his statement, as in the 12th Henry VI. commissions were issued into
+the several counties, not merely to collect the names of the gentry, but
+to administer an oath to the gentry and others for conservation of the
+peace and observance of the laws. The returns containing the names of
+the parties sworn in all the counties (except twelve) are printed by
+Fuller in his _Worthies_ from records in the Tower, which are probably
+yet extant. See _Rotuli Parliamentorum_, iv. 455.; v. 434.; Fuller's
+_Worthies of England_, chap. xiv.; Grimaldi's _Origines Genealogicae_,
+68, 69. I do not understand that all the parties who were sworn were
+accounted gentlemen, although Dr. Fuller's and Mr. Grimaldi's
+impressions on this point appear to have been similar to Mr. Noble's.

+and rifle-firing; and I think I can assure your correspondent A. C. that
+"_We_ make the best rifles" is rather an assumption. That the Americans
+make most excellent ones, there can be no doubt; but I question whether
+they ever turned out a rifle which, either for finish or performance,
+would bear comparison with those made by Purdey, Lancaster, and others.
+As an example of what an English rifle will do, I subjoin the
+performance[4] of one made by Beattie of Regent Street on Minie's
+principle for an officer in the artillery now going out to the Cape. At
+_one thousand_ measured yards, sixteen balls out of thirty were put into
+the target; and at four hundred yards, balls were driven through four
+regulation targets, each of two inch oak, placed six inches apart from
+one another; and into the earthen mound behind them ten or twelve
+inches. If the Americans can beat that, either for precision or force,
+they may claim to make the best rifles.

+_A Glossary of Terms used for Articles of British Dress and Armour, by

+several names which our British forefathers applied to the different
+portions of their garments and military weapons, and supplies the reader
+with their English synonymes; and, in the majority of cases, cites
+corroborative passages from documents in which the original terms occur.
+Its value to the antiquaries of the Principality is sufficiently

+will clearly be found of equal utility to their English brethren.

+_The Golden and Silver Ages. Two Plays by Thomas Heywood, with an
+Introduction and Notes by J. Payne Collier, Esq._ (which form the last
+work issued by the Shakspeare Society), will be read with great interest
+by the members; and, as completing the second volume of the collected
+edition of the works of _Thomas Heywood_, will give great satisfaction
+to those who urged upon the Shakspeare Society the propriety of printing
+an edition of the works of this able and prolific dramatist.
+
+In his _Manual of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Mind, by James
+Carlile, D.D._, the author has undertaken to write a popular treatise on
+an abstruse subject; and though he exhibits pains and method, yet we can
+hardly think that he has succeeded in his difficult task. One mistake he
+has evidently made. He seeks his illustrations too much from recent
+events, the Gorham controversy, the presidency of Louis Napoleon, and
+the like; references which are more calculated to degrade a great
+subject than to popularise it.
+
+In _The Gentleman's Magazine_ for the present month our readers will
+find a very able article, to which we beg to direct their attention, on
+the present state of English Historical Literature, the accessibility
+of our Historical Materials and the Record Offices. The article has
+apparently been called forth by a Memorial, addressed to the Master of
+the Rolls, requesting "that persons who are merely engaged in historical
+inquiry, antiquarian research, and other literary pursuits connected
+therewith, should have permission granted to them to have access to the
+Public Records, with the Indexes and Calendars, without payment of any
+Fee." This important document is signed by all the principal historical
+and antiquarian writers of the day: we should think, therefore, that
+there can be little fear of their prayer being refused. The writer of
+the article in the _Gentleman's Magazine_ has omitted two curious facts,
+which deserve mention,--one that Pinkerton was stopped in the progress
+of his History of Scotland by the fees for searches in the Scotch Record
+Offices; the other, that those fees in those very offices have recently
+been remitted.
+
+Mr. Douglas Allport has issued Proposals for the publication by
+subscription of a volume entitled _Kits Coty House, a Monograph_, which,
+as it is to treat not only of Kits Coty House, but of its Flora and
+Fauna, the Druidical Circles of Addington and Colebrook, the Antiquarian
+Relics and Traditions of the neighbourhood, Boxley and its Rood of
+Grace, Chaucer and the Pilgrim's Road, and other vestiges of bygone
+times, clearly has within its subject the materials for an amusing and
+interesting volume.

+  ILLUSTRATIONS AND ENQUIRIES RELATING TO MESMERISM. Part I. By the
+  REV. S. R. MAITLAND, D.D. F.R.S. F.S.A. Sometime Librarian to the
+  late Archbishop of Canterbury, and Keeper of the MSS. at Lambeth.
+
+    "One of the most valuable and interesting pamphlets we ever
+    read."--_Morning Herald._
+
+    "This publication, which promises to be the commencement of a
+    larger work, will well repay serious perusal."--_Ir. Eccl. Journ._
+
+    "A small pamphlet in which he throws a startling light on the
+    practices of modern Mesmerism."--_Nottingham Journal._
+
+    "Dr. Maitland, we consider, has here brought Mesmerism to the
+    'touchstone of truth,' to the test of the standard of right or
+    wrong. We thank him for this first instalment of his inquiry, and
+    hope that he will not long delay the remaining portions."--_London
+    Medical Gazette._
+
+    "The Enquiries are extremely curious, we should indeed say
+    important. That relating to the Witch of Endor is one of the most
+    successful we ever read. We cannot enter into particulars in this
+    brief notice; but we would strongly recommend the pamphlet even to
+    those who care nothing about Mesmerism, or angry (for it has come
+    to this at last) with the subject."--_Dublin Evening Post._
+
+    "We recommend its general perusal as being really an endeavour, by
+    one whose position gives him the best facilities, to ascertain the
+    genuine character of Mesmerism, which is so much
+    disputed."--_Woolmer's Exeter Gazette._
+
+    "Dr. Maitland has bestowed a vast deal of attention on the
+    subject for many years past, and the present pamphlet is in part
+    the result of his thoughts and inquiries. There is a good deal in
+    it which we should have been glad to quote ... but we content
+    ourselves with referring our readers to the pamphlet
+    itself."--_Brit Mag._

+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

+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

+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

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+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.

+($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.
