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. + + JOHN WODDERSPOON. + + Norwich. + + +SARDONIC SMILES. + +A few words on the Γέλως σαÏδάνιος, 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." + + GERONIMO. + + +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. + + A. DE MORGAN. + + +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. + + HENRY H. BREEN. + + St. Lucia, June, 1851. + +_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? + + W. P. + +_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. + + B. G. + + + + +Queries. + + +Minor Queries. + +_Vermuyden._--I wish very much to obtain a portrait, painted or +engraved, of Sir Cornelius Vermuyden, Knt., a celebrated Flemish +engineer in the time of Charles I. Can any one kindly assist my object, +and inform me where one is to be met with? + + J. + +_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. + + WILLIAM FENNELL. + + Wakefield, June 12. 1851. + +_Charities for the Clergy and their Families._--I am desirous of +procuring a complete list of charities confined to, or primarily +intended for, the benefit of clergymen, their wives and families. There +are a good many such throughout the country, but I am not aware that any +list has ever been published. Will your readers furnish me with the +particulars of such as they may be acquainted with, together with the +names of the secretaries? + + J. WHITAKER. + + 377. Strand. + +_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. + + I. J. C. + +_Kiss the Hare's Foot._--This locution is commonly used in some parts of +the United Kingdom, to describe what is expressed by the Latin proverb: +"Sero venientibus ossa." Will any of your readers be so good as to +explain the origin of the English phrase? + + HENRY H. BREEN. + + St. Lucia, May, 1851. + +_Old Dog._--Can any correspondent of "NOTES AND QUERIES" inform me where +"old dog" is used in the same sense as in _Hudibras_, part ii. canto 3. +v. 208.:-- + + "He (Sidrophel) was old dog at physiology?" + + P. J. F. G. + +"_Heu quanto minus_," &c.--From what author is this passage taken? + +"Heu quanto minus est cum aliis versari quam tui meminisse." + + J. O. B. + + Loughborough. + +_Lady Russell and Mr. Hampden._--Extract from a letter of Rev. Alex. +Chalmers, dated London, Feb. 10th, 1736-7: + + "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 + tradeing which brought seven or eight per ct. to the adventurers, + 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 + books nor accts were found, and the principal money is all lost. + She had a jointure of 2000_l._ a year, but that goes to her + Son-in-law, Mr. Scawen, Knight of the Shire for Surry: her + dissenting friends are the chiefe sufferers." + + [Footnote 1: M.P. for Buckinghamshire.] + + [Footnote 2: "Sept. 2. Lady Russell, mother of the wife of Thomas + Scawen, Esq., Kt. of the Shire for Surrey, and wife to Sir Harry + Houghton, Bt. She had an excellent character."--_Gent. Mag._, vol. + vi., 1736, p. 552. She had been previously married to Lord James + Russell, 5th son of William, 1st Duke of Bedford, to whom she bore + the daughter mentioned above.

Otto, the French +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.

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. + + C.C.R. + + Linc.

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_.

Winchester Place, + Southwark Bridge Road. + + +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? + + J. S. W. + + Stockwell, June 27. 1851. + + +Replies to Minor Queries. + +_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. + + EBORACOMB. + +_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. + + J.

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. + + TEE BEE. + +_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. + + C. + +_"Suum cuique tribuere," &c._ (Vol. iii., p. 518.).--Your correspondent +M.D. will find the passage in _Cic. Offic._, i. 5. + + Y. V. S. + + Sydenham. + +_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. + + S. H. + +_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 +Gillingham next Chatham. + + FRANCISCUS. + +_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." + + JOHN FENTON. + + Glyn y mêl, Fishguard, June 27, 1851. + +_John Perrot_ (Vol. iii., p. 336.).--I possess a neatly written MS., of +88 pp. small 8vo., entitled _A Primmer for Children, written by a +suffering Servant of God, John Perrot; corrected, ammended, and made +more easie: London, in the Yeare 1664_. The only notice of him after +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 + wore gawdy apparel, but also a sword; and being got into some + place in the government, he became a severe exacter of oaths." + + E. D. + +_Sneck up_ (Vol. i., p. 467.; Vol. ii., p. 14.).--_Sneck up_ is a stage +direction for _hiccup_, which Sir Toby was likely to observe after his +"pickle herring." Davis is quite right in following Theobald. A word for +Theobald. Every commentator is indebted to him, and almost every one has +abused him, from Warburton and Pope to Coleridge, and without Theobald's +notes and most sagacious amendments, ordinary readers would be puzzled +to _read_ Shakspeare. The booksellers, I am glad to see, had sense +enough to see Theobald's merit, and gave him a far larger sum for his +edition than has been paid to most of his successors. + + S. H. (2) + +_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." + + G. H. I. + + Norwich, July 5. 1851. + +_Early Visitations_ (Vol. iv., p. 8.).--Your remark that Mr. Noble's +statements "are extremely loose" is, generally speaking, very just; +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 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. + + C. H. COOPER. + +Cambridge, July 5. 1851. + +_Rifles_ (Vol. iii., p. 517.).--I am neither Mr. Gordon Cumming, nor an +officer of the Rifle Brigade; nevertheless, I have seen much of rifles +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. + + [Footnote 4: In Woolwich Marshes.] + + E. N. W. + + Southwark, June 30. 1851. + + + + +Miscellaneous. + + +NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. + +_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. + + +BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES WANTED TO PURCHASE. + + BEBELII ECCLESIA ANTE-DILUVIANA, &c.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/37568-h/37568-h.htm b/37568-h/37568-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..45dbdd8 --- /dev/null +++ b/37568-h/37568-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,3003 @@ + <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> +<head> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

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.</p> + +<p>How comparatively easy would it be for the readers of the + "N<span class="smcap lowercase">OTES AND</span> Q<span class="smcap lowercase">UERIES</span>," 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.</p> + +<p>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 <i>Illustrations of Norfolk Topography</i>, a volume +containing an enumeration of many thousand drawings and engravings, +collected by Dawson Turner, Esq., of Great Yarmouth, to illustrate +Blomefield's +<span class="pagenum">[18]</span><a id="History18"></a> +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.</p> + +<p>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 + "N<span class="smcap lowercase">OTES AND</span> Q<span class="smcap lowercase">UERIES</span>" 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.</p> + +<p>As the volume of "N<span class="smcap lowercase">OTES AND</span> Q<span class="smcap lowercase">UERIES</span>" 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.</p> + +<p class="right">J<span class="smcap lowercase">OHN</span> W<span class="smcap lowercase">ODDERSPOON</span>.</p> + <p class="left">Norwich.</p> + + + + +<h3><span>SARDONIC SMILES.</span></h3> + +<p>A few words on the <ins title="[Greek: Gels sardanios]">Γέλως + σαρδάνιος</ins>, 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.</p> + +<p>We find this epithet used by several Greek writers; it is even as old as +<i>Homer's</i> time, for we read in the <i>Odyssey</i>, <ins title="[Greek: meidse de thym sardanion mala toion]">μείδησε + δὲ θυμῷ +σαρδάνιον μάλα τοῖον</ins>, + "but he laughed in his soul a very bitter laugh." +The word was written indifferently <ins title="[Greek: sardanios]">σαρδάνιος</ins> +and <ins title="[Greek: sardonios]">σαρδόνιος</ins>; and some + lexicographers derive it from the verb <ins title="[Greek: sair]">σαίρω</ins>, + of <ins title="[Greek: sesra]">σέσηρα</ins>, "to show the teeth, grin like a dog:" +especially in scorn or malice. The more usual derivation is from +<ins title="[Greek: sardonion]">σαρδόνιον</ins>, a plant of Sardinia + (<ins title="([Greek: Sard])">Σαρδώ</ins>), 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:</p> + +<div class="poem"> + <p> "There was a laughing devil in his sneer,</p> + <p> That rais'd emotions both of <i>rage</i> and <i>fear</i>."</p> +</div> + +<p>In Izaak Walton's ever delightful <i>Complete Angler</i>, 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:—</p> + +<div class="poem"> + <p> "Quivering fears, heart-tearing cares,</p> + <p> Anxious sighs, untimely tears,</p> + <p class="i5"> Fly, fly to courts,</p> + <p class="i5">Fly to fond worldlings' sports,</p> + <p> Where strained <i>Sardonic</i> smiles are glosing still,</p> + <p> And Grief is forced to laugh against her will;</p> + <p class="i5">Where mirth's but mummery,</p> + <p class="i5">And sorrows only real be."</p> +</div> + +<p>In Sir J. Hawkins's edition is the following note on the word "Sardonic" +in these lines:</p> + +<p class="blockquot"> "Feigned, or forced smiles, from the word <i>Sardon</i>, 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 <i>Erasmi Adagia</i>, tit. R<span class="smcap lowercase">ISUS</span>."</p> + +<p><i>Sardonic</i>, 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:—</p> + + <div class="poem"> +<p>"What the heart thinks, the tongue may here disclose,</p> + <p>Nor inward grief with outward smiles is drest;</p> + <p>Not like the world—where wisest he who knows</p> + <p>To hide the secret closest in his breast."</p> +</div> + +<p>The <i>Edinburgh Review</i>, July, 1849, in an article on Tyndale's +<i>Sardinia</i>, says:</p> + +<p class="blockquot"> "The <i>Sardonic smile</i>, so celebrated in antiquity, baffles + research much more than the <i>intemperie</i>, 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 <i>Ranunculus sceleratus</i> 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 + <i>delight</i>: 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."</p> + +<p class="right"> G<span class="smcap lowercase">ERONIMO</span>.<span class="pagenum">[19]</span><a id="books19"></a></p> + + + + +<h3><span>PRIVATE AMOURS OF OLIVER CROMWELL.</span></h3> + +<p>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.).</p> + +<p>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, <i>The +Round Heads; or The Good Old Cause</i>, is founded: sufficiently so to give +it at least an air of authenticity, so far as the popular belief of the +day was concerned.</p> + +<p class="right"> S.

H.</p> + +<p class="blockquot"> "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<i>l.</i> 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.</p> + +<p class="blockquot">"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.</p> + +<p class="blockquot"> "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."</p> + + + + +<h3><span>SPURIOUS EDITION OF BAILY'S ANNUITIES.</span></h3> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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 +<span class="pagenum">[20]</span><a id="the20"></a> +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.</p> + +<p>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 </p> + +<div class="center"> +<img src="images/image1.jpg" width="44" height="41" alt="[Greek letter delta rotated 180 degrees.]" /> +</div> + +<p class="noindent">throughout, which is, in the spurious edition, never anything +but an inverted <ins title="Greek: delta">δ</ins>, which looks as if it were trying to kick +backwards.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The spurious edition is now on the stalls at a few shillings; and, as a +curiosity, will be worth its price.</p> + +<p class="right"> A.

His conduct proving satisfactory to his mistress she married him +who thus became, successively, mother, sister, mistress, and wife, to +this modern Œdipus. The episode remains to be told.

In this is the following +<span class="pagenum">[25]</span><a id="following25"></a> +note, in correction of the passages I have quoted (Burn. <i>Hist. Ref.</i>, +vol. iv. p. 578.):</p> + +<p class="blockquot"> "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 <i>Rudiments of Grammar</i> to + her, by the title of Princess of Cornwall and Wales."</p> + +<p>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 <i>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</i>: 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:</p> + +<p class="blockquot"> "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.</p> + +<p>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 <i>Pollino</i>, 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 (<i>Lives of the +Queens of England</i>, vol. v. p. 156.):</p> + +<p class="blockquot"> "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. <i>He says four bishops were attached + to this court.</i>"</p> + +<p>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 <i>good</i> 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 <i>no statement to that effect in Pollini</i>, and can only +suppose that Miss Strickland misunderstood the passage (quoted above) +where he says the province of Wales contains four bishoprics.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p class="right"> C.C.R.</p> +<p class="left">Linc.

Winchester Place,<br /> + Southwark Bridge Road.</p> + + + + +<h3><span>SHAKSPEARE'S "SMALL LATIN."—HIS USE OF "TRIPLE."<br /> +(Vol. iii., p. 497.)</span></h3> + +<p>In reference to the observations of A. E. B., I beg leave to say that, +in speaking of Shakspeare as a man who had <i>small Latin</i>, 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.</p> + +<p>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 <i>small</i>; for about the signification of +<i>small</i> 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.</p> + +<p>As to his usage of the word <i>triple</i>, 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, <i>as no trace of its being borrowed is to be found</i>. 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 +<i>triple sister</i>, I do not consider that he or his language would +<span class="pagenum">[27]</span><a id="would27"></a> +be much benefited. Ovid, I fear, employed <i>triplex</i> "improperly," as +Warburton says that Shakspeare employed <i>triple</i>, when he spoke of the +Fates spinning <i>triplici pollice</i>. I cannot find that any writer has +imitated him. To call the Fates <i>triplices de</i> (<i>Met.</i> viii. 481.), or +<i>triplices sorores</i> (<i>Met.</i> viii. 453.), was justifiable; but to term +any one of them <i>triplex dea</i>, or to speak of her as spinning <i>triplici +fuso</i> or <i>triplici pollice</i>, was apparently to go beyond what the Latin +language warranted. A. E. B. rightly observes that <i>triple</i> 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.</p> + +<p>M<span class="smcap lowercase">R.</span> S<span class="smcap lowercase">INGER</span>, in his observations on "captious," has a very unlucky +remark, which A. E. B. unluckily repeats—"We, no doubt, all know," says +M<span class="smcap lowercase">R</span>. S<span class="smcap lowercase">INGER</span>, "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?</p> + + <p class="right"> J. S.

Drake calls him "an ingenious architect," and quotes +these lines from his epitaph in the church of All Saints, North Street, +in York (<i>Eboracum</i>, p. 277.):—</p> + + <div class="poem"> +<p> "His art was great, his industry no less,</p> + <p> What one projected, t'other brought to pass."</p> +</div> + +<p>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 <i>Diary</i> of the Leeds antiquary, the +memory of their very names had long since perished. The fact stated in +the <i>Diary</i>, 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.</p> + +<p>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!"</p> + +<p>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.</p> + + <p class="right"> E<span class="smcap lowercase">BORACOMB</span>.</p> + + + +<h4><span><i>Parish Register of Petworth</i></span> <span>(Vol. iii., pp. 449. 485. 510.).</span></h4> + +<p>—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.

This term <i>Naf</i> is handed down +to us in one of the oldest British triads, but which has been always, in +my opinion, improperly interpreted.

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.

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.

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. + + JOHN WODDERSPOON. + + Norwich. + + +SARDONIC SMILES. + +A few words on the Γέλως σαÏδάνιος, 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." + + GERONIMO. + + +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. + + A. DE MORGAN. + + +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. + + HENRY H. BREEN. + + St. Lucia, June, 1851. + +_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? + + W. P. + +_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. + + B. G. + + + + +Queries. + + +Minor Queries. + +_Vermuyden._--I wish very much to obtain a portrait, painted or +engraved, of Sir Cornelius Vermuyden, Knt., a celebrated Flemish +engineer in the time of Charles I. Can any one kindly assist my object, +and inform me where one is to be met with? + + J. + +_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. + + WILLIAM FENNELL. + + Wakefield, June 12. 1851. + +_Charities for the Clergy and their Families._--I am desirous of +procuring a complete list of charities confined to, or primarily +intended for, the benefit of clergymen, their wives and families. There +are a good many such throughout the country, but I am not aware that any +list has ever been published. Will your readers furnish me with the +particulars of such as they may be acquainted with, together with the +names of the secretaries? + + J. WHITAKER. + + 377. Strand. + +_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. + + I. J. C. + +_Kiss the Hare's Foot._--This locution is commonly used in some parts of +the United Kingdom, to describe what is expressed by the Latin proverb: +"Sero venientibus ossa." Will any of your readers be so good as to +explain the origin of the English phrase? + + HENRY H. BREEN. + + St. Lucia, May, 1851. + +_Old Dog._--Can any correspondent of "NOTES AND QUERIES" inform me where +"old dog" is used in the same sense as in _Hudibras_, part ii. canto 3. +v. 208.:-- + + "He (Sidrophel) was old dog at physiology?" + + P.

Otto, the French +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.

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. + + C.C.R. + + Linc.

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. + + WILLIAM BARTON. + + 19. Winchester Place, + Southwark Bridge Road. + + +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? + + J. S. W. + + Stockwell, June 27. 1851. + + +Replies to Minor Queries. + +_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. + + EBORACOMB. + +_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. + + J.

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. + + TEE BEE. + +_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. + + C. + +_"Suum cuique tribuere," &c._ (Vol. iii., p. 518.).--Your correspondent +M.D. will find the passage in _Cic. Offic._, i. 5. + + Y. V. S. + + Sydenham. + +_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. + + S. H. + +_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 +Gillingham next Chatham. + + FRANCISCUS. + +_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." + + JOHN FENTON. + + Glyn y mêl, Fishguard, June 27, 1851. + +_John Perrot_ (Vol. iii., p. 336.).--I possess a neatly written MS., of +88 pp. small 8vo., entitled _A Primmer for Children, written by a +suffering Servant of God, John Perrot; corrected, ammended, and made +more easie: London, in the Yeare 1664_. The only notice of him after +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 + wore gawdy apparel, but also a sword; and being got into some + place in the government, he became a severe exacter of oaths." + + E. D. + +_Sneck up_ (Vol. i., p. 467.; Vol. ii., p. 14.).--_Sneck up_ is a stage +direction for _hiccup_, which Sir Toby was likely to observe after his +"pickle herring." Davis is quite right in following Theobald. A word for +Theobald. Every commentator is indebted to him, and almost every one has +abused him, from Warburton and Pope to Coleridge, and without Theobald's +notes and most sagacious amendments, ordinary readers would be puzzled +to _read_ Shakspeare. The booksellers, I am glad to see, had sense +enough to see Theobald's merit, and gave him a far larger sum for his +edition than has been paid to most of his successors. + + S. H. (2) + +_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." + + G. H. I. + + Norwich, July 5. 1851. + +_Early Visitations_ (Vol. iv., p. 8.).--Your remark that Mr. Noble's +statements "are extremely loose" is, generally speaking, very just; +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 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. + + C. H. COOPER. + +Cambridge, July 5. 1851. + +_Rifles_ (Vol. iii., p. 517.).--I am neither Mr. Gordon Cumming, nor an +officer of the Rifle Brigade; nevertheless, I have seen much of rifles +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. + + [Footnote 4: In Woolwich Marshes.] + + E. N. W. + + Southwark, June 30. 1851. + + + + +Miscellaneous. + + +NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. + +_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. + + +BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES WANTED TO PURCHASE. + + BEBELII ECCLESIA ANTE-DILUVIANA, &c.

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. + + JOHN WODDERSPOON. + + Norwich. + + +SARDONIC SMILES. + +A few words on the [Greek: Gels 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: meidse 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: sesra], "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." + + GERONIMO. + + +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. + + A. DE MORGAN. + + +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. + + HENRY H. BREEN. + + St. Lucia, June, 1851. + +_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 +Forts."--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? + + W. P. + +_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. + + B. G. + + + + +Queries. + + +Minor Queries. + +_Vermuyden._--I wish very much to obtain a portrait, painted or +engraved, of Sir Cornelius Vermuyden, Knt., a celebrated Flemish +engineer in the time of Charles I. Can any one kindly assist my object, +and inform me where one is to be met with? + + J. + +_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. + + WILLIAM FENNELL. + + Wakefield, June 12. 1851. + +_Charities for the Clergy and their Families._--I am desirous of +procuring a complete list of charities confined to, or primarily +intended for, the benefit of clergymen, their wives and families. There +are a good many such throughout the country, but I am not aware that any +list has ever been published. Will your readers furnish me with the +particulars of such as they may be acquainted with, together with the +names of the secretaries? + + J. WHITAKER. + + 377. Strand. + +_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. + + I.

Otto, the French +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.

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. + + C.C.R. + + Linc.

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. + + WILLIAM BARTON. + + 19. Winchester Place, + Southwark Bridge Road. + + +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? + + J. S. W. + + Stockwell, June 27. 1851. + + +Replies to Minor Queries. + +_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. + + EBORACOMB. + +_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. + + J. S. B. + +_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. + + TEE BEE. + +_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. + + C. + +_"Suum cuique tribuere," &c._ (Vol. iii., p. 518.).--Your correspondent +M.D. will find the passage in _Cic. Offic._, i. 5. + + Y. V. S. + + Sydenham. + +_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. + + S. H. + +_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 +Gillingham next Chatham. + + FRANCISCUS. + +_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 Fn." + + "The swimming, that the ships performed + From great Troy, afar, to Mon." + + JOHN FENTON. + + Glyn y ml, Fishguard, June 27, 1851. + +_John Perrot_ (Vol. iii., p. 336.).--I possess a neatly written MS., of +88 pp. small 8vo., entitled _A Primmer for Children, written by a +suffering Servant of God, John Perrot; corrected, ammended, and made +more easie: London, in the Yeare 1664_. The only notice of him after +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 + wore gawdy apparel, but also a sword; and being got into some + place in the government, he became a severe exacter of oaths." + + E. D. + +_Sneck up_ (Vol. i., p. 467.; Vol. ii., p. 14.).--_Sneck up_ is a stage +direction for _hiccup_, which Sir Toby was likely to observe after his +"pickle herring." Davis is quite right in following Theobald. A word for +Theobald. Every commentator is indebted to him, and almost every one has +abused him, from Warburton and Pope to Coleridge, and without Theobald's +notes and most sagacious amendments, ordinary readers would be puzzled +to _read_ Shakspeare. The booksellers, I am glad to see, had sense +enough to see Theobald's merit, and gave him a far larger sum for his +edition than has been paid to most of his successors. + + S. H. (2) + +_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." + + G. H. I. + + Norwich, July 5. 1851. + +_Early Visitations_ (Vol. iv., p. 8.).--Your remark that Mr. Noble's +statements "are extremely loose" is, generally speaking, very just; +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 Genealogic_, +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. + + C. H. COOPER. + +Cambridge, July 5. 1851. + +_Rifles_ (Vol. iii., p. 517.).--I am neither Mr. Gordon Cumming, nor an +officer of the Rifle Brigade; nevertheless, I have seen much of rifles +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. + + [Footnote 4: In Woolwich Marshes.] + + E. N. W. + + Southwark, June 30. 1851. + + + + +Miscellaneous. + + +NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. + +_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. + + +BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES WANTED TO PURCHASE. + + BEBELII ECCLESIA ANTE-DILUVIANA, &c.

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. + + JOHN WODDERSPOON. + + Norwich. + + +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." + + GERONIMO. + + +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. + + A. DE MORGAN. + + +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. + + HENRY H. BREEN. + + St. Lucia, June, 1851. + +_Derivation of Mews._-- + +"Muette.

P. + +_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. + + B. G. + + + + +Queries. + + +Minor Queries. + +_Vermuyden._--I wish very much to obtain a portrait, painted or +engraved, of Sir Cornelius Vermuyden, Knt., a celebrated Flemish +engineer in the time of Charles I.

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.

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. + + I.

Cowley says: + + "Upon the _flowers_ of Heaven we gaze; + The _stars_ of earth no wonder in us raise." + +And Washington Irving gives an Arabian inscription from one of the +gardens of the Alhambra, which commences with a somewhat similar +thought: + + "How beauteous is this garden, where the flowers of the earth vie + with the stars of Heaven!" + + SELEUCUS. + +_Lady Petre's Monument._--In the church at Ingatestone, in Essex, there +is a beautiful monument to Mary Lady Petre, of the date 1684, upon which +there is the following curious inscription:-- + + "D.

Has not your correspondent been +led into a mistake by calling Narcissa Dr. Young's daughter-in-law? as, +if she were so, how could she have been named "Lee?"

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 "prisonae Dom. Regis, quousque +Justiciarii habeant locutionem cum consilio Dom. Regis." + +Any further information respecting him also would be very acceptable.

The explanation I +wish for is, not as to possession conferring a strong title to property, +which is self-evident, but as to the _number_ of _points_ involved in +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. + + C.N.S. + +_Rev.

One of his college +friends was the _Reverend_ Granville Wheler, Esq., of Otterden, Kent, +who, though in holy orders, chose to be so described, being the eldest +son of a knight, the amiable Sir George Wheler, Prebendary of Durham, +and Rector of Houghton-le-Spring. + + E.H.A. + +_Prior Lachteim--Robert Douglas._--In Bishop Keith's _Affairs of Church +and State of Scotland_, Vol. ii. p. 809., Prior Lachteim is mentioned: +will any of your readers inform me who this person was?

Is there any truth in the report that Mary, queen of Scotland, +had a son by George Douglas, who was the father of Robert Douglas, a +celebrated Presbyterian preacher during the Covenanting reign of terror +in Scotland, after the Glasgow General Assembly in 1638? If, as I +suppose, there is no truth in this, what was the parentage and early +history of Mr. Robert Douglas? Wodrow notices this report, and says that +he was born in England.

Otto, the French +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 +many subscribers to "NOTES AND QUERIES."

I am also acquainted with some +old pedigrees found in certain visitation books. But none of the +pedigrees I have seen appear to come down later than the fourteenth, or +quite the beginning of the fifteenth, century.

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. + + C.C.R. + + Linc.

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. + + WILLIAM BARTON. + + 19.

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? + + J. S. W. + + Stockwell, June 27. 1851. + + +Replies to Minor Queries. + +_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. + + EBORACOMB. + +_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. + + J. S. B. + +_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. + + TEE BEE. + +_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. + + C. + +_"Suum cuique tribuere," &c._ (Vol. iii., p. 518.).--Your correspondent +M.D. will find the passage in _Cic. Offic._, i. 5. + + Y. V. S. + + Sydenham. + +_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. + + S. H. + +_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 +Gillingham next Chatham. + + FRANCISCUS. + +_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 + From great Troy, afar, to Mona." + + JOHN FENTON. + + Glyn y mel, Fishguard, June 27, 1851. + +_John Perrot_ (Vol. iii., p. 336.).--I possess a neatly written MS., of +88 pp. small 8vo., entitled _A Primmer for Children, written by a +suffering Servant of God, John Perrot; corrected, ammended, and made +more easie: London, in the Yeare 1664_. The only notice of him after +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 + wore gawdy apparel, but also a sword; and being got into some + place in the government, he became a severe exacter of oaths." + + E. D. + +_Sneck up_ (Vol. i., p. 467.; Vol. ii., p. 14.).--_Sneck up_ is a stage +direction for _hiccup_, which Sir Toby was likely to observe after his +"pickle herring." Davis is quite right in following Theobald. A word for +Theobald. Every commentator is indebted to him, and almost every one has +abused him, from Warburton and Pope to Coleridge, and without Theobald's +notes and most sagacious amendments, ordinary readers would be puzzled +to _read_ Shakspeare. The booksellers, I am glad to see, had sense +enough to see Theobald's merit, and gave him a far larger sum for his +edition than has been paid to most of his successors. + + S. H. (2) + +_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." + + G. H. I. + + Norwich, July 5. 1851. + +_Early Visitations_ (Vol. iv., p. 8.).--Your remark that Mr. Noble's +statements "are extremely loose" is, generally speaking, very just; +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. + + C. H. COOPER. + +Cambridge, July 5. 1851. + +_Rifles_ (Vol. iii., p. 517.).--I am neither Mr. Gordon Cumming, nor an +officer of the Rifle Brigade; nevertheless, I have seen much of rifles +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. + + [Footnote 4: In Woolwich Marshes.] + + E. N.

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. + + +BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES WANTED TO PURCHASE. + + BEBELII ECCLESIA ANTE-DILUVIANA, &c.

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._ + + W. STEPHENSON, 12. and 13.

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation" +or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the +collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an +individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are +located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from +copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative +works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg +are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project +Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by +freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of +this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with +the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by +keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project +Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others. + +1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern +what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in +a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check +the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement +before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or +creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project +Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning +the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United +States. + +1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg: + +1.E.1.

You may copy it, give it away or +re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included +with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org + +1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived +from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is +posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied +and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees +or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work +with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the +work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 +through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the +Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or +1.E.9. + +1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted +with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution +must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional +terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked +to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the +permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work. + +1.E.4.

However, if you provide access to or +distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than +"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version +posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org), +you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a +copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon +request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other +form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm +License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1. + +1.E.7.

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.

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 Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/37568.zip b/old/37568.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ccbfb3a --- /dev/null +++ b/old/37568.zip |
