+
+
+PROVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY.
+
+The following "sententious truths" are extracted from Bishop
+Jewel's grand performance, _A Defense of the Apologie of the
+Churche of Englande_, fol. 1571, a work as remarkable for "the
+pomp and charms" of its eloquence, as for the profound erudition,
+and the consummate ability, with which its "good doctrine" is
+exhibited and enforced. In common, however, with the other
+productions of this illustrious champion of the Reformation, it
+has an additional and most attractive feature; one, indeed, which,
+less or more, characterises all the literary achievements of the
+gigantic geniuses of the Elizabethan period, the "very dust of
+whose writings is gold."[1] The "Defense" abounds with _proverbial
+folk-lore_ of the rarest sort; and this is so skilfully and
+appositely introduced, that the subject-matter presents itself to
+the reader's mind rather as a corollary, naturally deduced from a
+self-evident proposition--for who would think for a moment of
+questioning the truth of what has the semblance of a popular
+adage?[2]--than as a nicely managed argument, which receives no
+other help from the latter than that of illustration, employed for
+the simple and single purpose, not of strengthening such argument,
+but of rendering it comprehensible by the "meanest capacities."
+
+  [Footnote 1: Bentley, of Bp. Pearson, in _Dissert. on Phalaris._]
+
+  [Footnote 2: I have somewhere met with an amusing instance of
+  this. It seems that Dean Swift, with a party of friends, were
+  invited to view the garden of a gentleman, the walls of which were
+  laden with peaches of a most tempting ripeness, but which they
+  were strictly forbidden to touch. This injunction was followed,
+  until Swift ('twas like him) at length put forth his hand and
+  plucked, at the same time observing, with all becoming gravity,
+  "As my deeply venerated grandmother used to say,
+
+      'Never fail to pluck a peach,
+      Whene'er you find one in your reach.'"
+
+  'Twas enough. The authority of the adage was sufficient to
+  overrule every other obligation; and the rest of the company, much
+  to the disgust of the master of the garden, immediately proceeded,
+  with infinite gusto, to follow the Dean's example, not for a
+  moment doubting the propriety of the act. "The court awards it,
+  and the law doth give it."]
+
+With this little bit of criticism, let me take the liberty of
+recommending to such of your readers, and I trust they are many, who
+seek for knowledge and wisdom in the richly-stored tomes, especially of
+the divines, whose appearance imparted a further glory to the days of
+our "good queen Bess," to note down the "wise saws and modern instances"
+which lie scattered along their glowing periods, like "dew-drops on the
+flow'ry lawn," for the purpose of transferring them to your very
+appropriate pages.
+
+The remark of our old lexicographer, Florio[3], that "daily both new
+words are invented, and books still found that make a new supply of
+old," may, in its latter part, very fitly be applied to our proverbial
+philosophy; for, great as is the light which has already been thrown
+upon the subject, it must be admitted that a more _systematic_
+examination than they have yet received, of the works of the Elizabethan
+writers, would elucidate it to an extent that can scarcely be
+appreciated.
+
+  [Footnote 3: _Worlde of Wordes_, Ital. and Eng. Pr. 1598.]
+
+With these observations I offer you my little string of pearls, under
+the hope that row after row may be added to it.
+
+  "1. A contentious man wil never lacke wordes.
+
+  2. A Judge must walke with feete of lead.
+
+  3. An ignorante Judge was never indifferente.
+
+  4. A simple eie is soone beguiled.
+
+  5. By a smal draughte of sea-water, though maiste judge the
+  verdure of the whole.
+
+  6. Error can not be defended, but by error.
+
+  7. Evils must be cured by theire contraries.
+
+  8. He is very doumbe, and can speak but little, that cannot speake
+  ill.
+
+  9. He that cannot judge Golde by sounde, or in sight, yet may trie
+  it by the poise.
+
+  10. Il wil is ever plentiful of il woordes.
+
+  11. In the fairest rose thou maiste soonest finde a canker.
+
+  12. It is a desperate cause, that with woordes and eloquence maie
+  not be smoothed.
+
+  13. It is very course woulle that will take no colour.
+
+  14. Let Reason leade thee; let Authoritie move thee; let Truthe
+  enforce thee.
+
+  15. Of an Impossibilitie yee maie conclude what yee liste.
+
+  16. Oftentimes he is hardiest man to speake, that hathe leaste to
+  saie.
+
+  17. One demanded this question of Zoilus the Railer: Why takest
+  thou sutche pleasure in speaking il? Zoilus made answere, Bicause,
+  whereas I woulde doo it, I am not hable.
+
+  18. Rashe judgemente argueth somme folie.
+
+  19. The Heares of a mannes Bearde, or Heade, never ware white al
+  togeather.
+
+  20. The mouthe which speaketh untruth killeth the soule.
+
+  21. The report of an enimie maketh no proufe.
+
+  22. The slowe paced horses kepe backe the chariot.
+
+  23. The Truthe wilbe hable evermore to beare it selfe.
+
+  24. To mainteine a fault knowne, is a double faulte.
+
+  25. To spende woordes without cause, is affliction of the sprite,
+  and losse of time.
+
+  26. Vesselles never geve so great a sounde, as when they be
+  emptie.
+
+  27. Untruthe cannot be shielded, but by untruthe.
+
+  28. Where the woulfe is broken in, it is beste for the poor sheepe
+  to breake out."
+
+It is as well to remark that the above aphorisms are contained within
+the first 365 pages of the "Defense." Their orthography and punctuation
+have been carefully preserved, as they ought always to be in such like
+cases. Some of them I have not elsewhere met with, and others present
+_variæ lectiones_ of an interesting character. They are all delivered in
+a quaint simplicity of style, which admirably illustrates the general
+tone of thought and language of the period.

+
+
+PARAPHRASE ON THE 137TH PSALM BY CHURCHILL.
+
+A paraphrase of the 137th psalm by Charles Churchill may, perhaps, be
+deemed not unworthy of a place amongst your Notes. It was originally
+sent to Mrs. Baily of Cadbury, who had remonstrated with him on his
+devoting his pen exclusively to satire. That lady gave them to my
+maternal grandfather. Three lines of the last verse are lost.

+        (Grief doth from musick fly)
+      Upon the willow trees were hung,
+        The trees that grew thereby.
+
+      "'Raise, raise your voice,' the victors say,
+        'Touch, touch the trembling string,
+      In Sion's manner briskly play,
+        In Sion's manner sing.'
+
+      "Our voice, alas! how should we raise
+        In Babylonish ground?
+      How should we sing Jehovah's praise
+        In Pagan fetters bound?
+
+      "If ever, much lov'd Sion, thou
+        Dost from my mind depart,
+      May my right hand no longer know
+        Soft musick's soothing art.
+
+      "If when in jocund songs I smile,
+        Thou'rt not my choicest theme,
+      May my tongue lose her wonted skill,
+        Nor drink at Siloa's stream.
+
+      "When Babylon's unhallowed host,
+        Flow'd in with hostile tide,
+      'Down, down with Sion to the dust,'
+        The sons of Edom cried.
+
+      "Hear, hear O Lord these sons of spight,
+        Nor let thy anger sleep,
+      Let their own wishes on them light,
+        In turn let Edom weep.
+
+      "Blest is the man whose fated host
+        Shall Babylon surround,
+      Who shall destroy her impious boast,
+        And raze her to the ground.
+
+      "Blest is he, whose devouring hand,"

+
+      "Appear'dst thou not to Paris in this guise?
+      Or to more deeply blest Anchises? or,
+      In all thy perfect goddess-ship, when lies
+      Before thee thy own vanquished Lord of War?
+      And gazing in thy face as toward a star
+      Laid on thy lap, his eyes to thee upturn,
+      Feeding on thy sweet cheek![4] while thy lips are
+      With lava kisses melting while they burn,
+      Showered on his eyelids, brow, and mouth, as from an urn!

+      Glowing, and circumfused in speechless love,
+      Their full divinity inadequate
+      That feeling to express, or to improve,
+      The gods become as mortals, and man's fate
+      Has moments like their brightest ----" &c. &c.
+
+  [Footnote 4: To these beautiful and glowing lines the author has
+  appended the following:
+
+
+            " Ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐστιᾶν."
+      "Atque oculos pascat uterque suos."
+
+      OVID. _Amor._ lib. iii.]
+
+It seems to me that the noble poet has condescended to avail himself of
+a little _ruse_ in referring to this passage of Ovid. It would have been
+perhaps more honest to have referred his readers to those magnificent
+lines in the opening address to Venus, by Lucretius, "De Rerum Naturâ,"
+beginning,--
+
+      "Æneadum genitrix, hominum divômque voluptas,
+      Alma Venus!" &c.
+
+I subjoin the verses which Lord Byron _really_ had in mind when he wrote
+the foregoing stanzas:
+
+      "Nam tu sola potes tranquillâ pace juvare
+      Mortaleis: quoniam belli fera moenera Mavors
+      Armipotens regit, _in gremium_ qui sæpe _tuum se_
+      Rejieit, æterno devictus volnere Amoris:
+      Atque _ita, suspiciens_ tereti cervice reposta
+      _Pascit amore avidos, inhians in te, Dea, visus;_
+      Eque tuo pendet resupini spiritus ore.
+      Hunc tu, Diva, tuo recubantem corpore sancto
+      _Circumfusa super_, suaveis ex ore loquelas
+      Funde, petens placidam Romanis, incluta, pacem."
+
+Surely if the author of _Childe Harold_ were indebted to _any_ ancient
+poet for some ideas embodied in the lines cited, it was to Lucretius and
+not to Ovid that he should have owned the obligation.

+
+Minor Notes.
+
+_On the Word "raised" as used by the Americans._--An American, in answer
+to an inquiry as to the place of his birth, says, "I was _raised_ in New
+York," &c. Was it ever an English phrase? And if so, by what English
+writer of celebrity was it ever used? Dr. Franklin, in a letter to John
+Alleyne, Esq., Aug. 9, 1768, says:
+
+  "By these early marriages we are blest with more children; and
+  from the mode among us, founded in nature, of every mother
+  suckling and nursing her own child, more of them are _raised_."

+  which looks like inspiration."

+
+_A Ship's Berth._--Compilers of Dictionaries have attempted to show, but
+I think without success, that this word has been derived from one of the
+meanings of the verb _to bear_. I conjecture that it has been derived
+from the Welsh word _porth_, a port or harbour. This word is under
+certain circumstances written _borth_, according to the rules of Welsh
+grammar. A ship's place in harbour (_borth_) is her _berth_. A sailor's
+place in his ship is his _berth_.

+Queries.
+
+
+JOHN A KENT AND JOHN A CUMBER.
+
+I am much obliged to you, Mr. Editor, for giving additional circulation
+to my inquiry (through the medium of the _Athenæum_ of the 19th ult.)
+regarding the two ancient popular wizards, John a Kent and John a
+Cumber. I was aware, from a note received some time ago from my friend
+the Rev. John Webb of Tretire, that there are various current traditions
+in Monmouthshire, and that Coxe's history of that county contains some
+information regarding one of these worthies. That fact has since been
+repeated to me by a gentleman of Newport, who wrote in consequence of
+what appeared in the _Athenæum_, and whose name I do not know that I am
+at liberty to mention. I may, however, take this opportunity of thanking
+him, as well as the transmitter of the curious particulars printed in
+the _Athenæum_ of Saturday last.
+
+One point I wish to ascertain is, whence John a Kent derived his
+appellation? This question has not been at all answered. Has his name
+any connexion, and what, with the village of Kentchurch, in
+Monmouthshire; and why was the place called Kentchurch? To what saint is
+the church dedicated? and has the name of that church anything to do
+with the name of the saint? Anthony Munday (or Mundy), in his MS. play
+(now in my hands by the favour of the Hon. Mr. Mostyn, and by the kind
+interposition of Sir F. Madden), does not give the slightest clue to
+the "birth, parentage, and education" of John a Kent. As to John a
+Cumber, all we learn is, that he was a Scottish conjuror, employed by a
+nobleman of the same country to counteract the proceedings of John a
+Kent, who is represented as in the service of Sir Gosselin Denville, a
+person who appears, from what Munday says, to have had power and
+influence in South Wales.
+
+Now, the name of Sir Gosselin Denville itself suggests a Query; because
+I find in Johnson's _Lives of Highwayman, &c.,_ fol. 1734, p. 15. (I do
+not of course refer to it as a book of any authority), that there was a
+celebrated collector of tribute from travellers who bore that name and
+rank. He, however, came from Yorkshire, and lived (according to the
+narrative of Johnson, who had it most likely from Capt. A. Smith, whose
+work I have not at hand) as long ago as the reign of Edward II. Let me
+ask, therefore, whether there exist any tidings respecting such a person
+as a native of Wales, and as the "master" (I use Munday's word) of John
+a Kent?
+
+But this is not the principal object of my present communication, which
+relates to one of the heroines of Munday's drama--a daughter of
+Llewellin, Prince of North Wales. To her the name of Sidanen is given,
+and she is constantly spoken of as "the fair Sidanen," with the
+additional information, in one place, that "sonnets" had been written in
+her praise. Every person who sends a Query must plead ignorance, and
+mine may be great as regards Welsh poetry, when I inquire, who was
+Sidanen, and where has she been celebrated? By the second volume of
+_Extracts from the Registers of the Stationers' Company_ (printed for
+the Shakspeare Society), it is evident that she was well known about the
+middle of the reign of Elizabeth, for on p. 94. I read the following
+entry:--
+
+      "xiii Augusti [1580]
+
+  "Rich. Jones. Rd. of him for printinge a ballat of brittishe
+  Sidanen, applied by a courtier to the praise of the Queen."
+
+British Sidanen probably meant Sidanen of Ancient Britain, or Wales, to
+whom some unnamed and adulatory courtier had compared Queen Elizabeth. I
+fancied also that I recollected, in Warner's _Albion's England_, some
+allusion to Elizabeth under the name of Sidanen, but I cannot at present
+find it.
+
+As I have my pen in hand, may I add another word, quite upon a different
+subject: it is upon the _nimium_ (pardon the word) _vexata questio_
+about _esile_, as it is spelt in the first and second folios of
+_Hamlet_. Have any of your correspondents, from MR. SINGER to MR.
+CAMPKIN, with all their learning and ingenuity, been able at all to
+settle the point? Surely, then, I cannot be blamed for not taking upon
+me dogmatically to decide it eight years ago. I stated the two positions
+assumed by adverse commentators, and what more could I do? What more
+have your friends done? The principle I went upon was to make my notes
+as short as possible; and after pages on pages have been employed in
+your miscellany, it seems, in my humble judgment, that the case is not
+one jot altered. _Esile_ may still either mean vinegar (eyesel) or the
+river Eisell.
+
+    J. PAYNE COLLIER.
+
+
+SWEARING ON THE HORNS AT HIGHGATE.
+
+Can any of your readers give a satisfactory explanation of what Lord
+Byron, in the LXXth stanza of the first canto of _Childe Harold's
+Pilgrimage_, calls the _worship of the solemn horn_? The whole stanza is
+as follows:
+
+      "Some o'er thy Thamis row the ribbon'd fair,
+      Others along the safer turnpike fly;
+      Some Richmond Hill ascend, some send to Ware,
+      And many to the steep of Highgate hie.
+      Ask ye, Boeotian shades! the reason why? (15)
+      'Tis to the worship of the solemn Horn,
+      Grasp'd in the holy hand of mystery,
+      In whose dread name both men and maids are sworn,
+      And consecrate the oath with draught and dance till morn!"
+
+And the note (15) merely refers to the poet's writing from Thebes, the
+capital of Boeotia.
+
+I have a faint recollection of a circumstance which occurred on a
+journey from York to town some forty years ago, and which I almost fancy
+may throw some distant light on Lord B.'s horn. Among the inside
+passengers by the stage was a middle-aged Yorkshireman, apparently a
+small farmer, who kept the rest in a continual titter with his account
+of various personal adventures, which he related in a style of quaint
+and ludicrous simplicity; and as, in the course of conversation, it
+appeared that he had never visited the metropolis before, it was
+suggested by a couple of wags, that on the arrival of the coach at
+Highgate he should be invited "to make himself free of the Horns."
+Accordingly, when in due time the vehicle halted at the above-mentioned
+place, and the inside passengers, with the exception of York, had
+quitted it, an ostler, having received his cue, appeared at the door
+with a pole, to which we attached a pair of gilded ram's horns; and
+inquired if the "genelman" from Yorkshire, who was on his first visit to
+London, wished to obtain his freedom by swearing on the horns, or would
+rather forego the ceremony by a payment of the customary fee. The
+Yorkshireman was evidently taken aback by the unexpected question; but,
+after a moment's hesitation, intimated that he preferred the horns to
+forking out the cash. He was thereupon directed with mock solemnity to
+place his right hand upon the horns, and to follow the ostler in
+reciting a ridiculous formula; which, if I remember right, consisted in
+his vowing, under certain penalties, to prefer wine to water, roast beef
+and ale to a dry crust and water gruel, the daughter to the mother, the
+sister to the brother, laughing to crying, and songs and glees to
+requiems and psalms, &c.
+
+Can you then oblige me with any information respecting the worship of
+the solemn horn alluded to by Lord Byron; and, secondly, with any
+account respecting the solemn farce of swearing in strangers on the
+horns when reaching Highgate on their first visit to the metropolis,
+which farce I presume has long since been exploded by the introduction
+of the railway.
+
+    KEWENSIS.
+
+  [Moore, in his edition of Byron's _Works_, has the following note
+  on this passage:--"Lord Byron alludes to a ridiculous custom which
+  formerly prevailed at the public-houses in Highgate, of
+  administering a burlesque oath to all travellers of the middling
+  rank who stopped there. The party was sworn on a pair of horns,
+  fastened, 'never to kiss the maid when he could kiss the mistress;
+  never to eat brown bread when he could get white; never to drink
+  small beer when he could get strong;' with many other injunctions
+  of the like kind, to all which was added the saving clause,
+  'unless you like it best.'" Our correspondent, W. S. GIBSON, Esq.,
+  in his _Prize Essay on the History and Antiquities of Highgate_,
+  has preserved some curious notices of this burlesque oath. He
+  says, "All attempts to trace the once prevalent, but now obsolete,
+  custom of 'swearing at Highgate' to any really probable source
+  have proved unavailing, and the custom has fallen into disuse. The
+  early identity of the site of the present hamlet with the ancient
+  forest, and the vicinity of Highgate to a park or chase, naturally
+  suggests the possible connexion of these trophies with huntsmen
+  and their horns; and it is not difficult to perceive that the
+  spoils and emblems of the chase, and the hunter's joyous horn, may
+  in time have acquired the character of household gods, and at
+  length, become like the sword of the warrior, a sacred emblem upon
+  which vows were taken, and the most binding engagements made. It
+  is, however, less difficult to imagine the reality of such an
+  origin, than to account for the strange degeneracy exhibited in
+  the modern aspect of the custom. 'Swearing on the horns' was an
+  observance at all events more than a century old; for a song which
+  embodied a close paraphrase of the oath, according to the best
+  authorised version yet extant, was introduced in a London
+  pantomime at the Haymarket Theatre in the year 1742."]

+49. _Queen Brunéhaut._--I read in a French book of travels that the
+abbey of Saint Martin's, at Autun, contained the tomb of Queen
+Brunéhaut, upon which was engraved the following inscription:
+
+      "Ci-gît la Reine Brunéhaut,
+      A qui le Saint Pape Gregoire
+      Donna des éloges de gloire,
+      Qui mettent sa vertu bien haut.
+      Sa piété pour les saints mystères
+      Lui fit fonder trois monastères,
+      Sous la règle de Saint Benoît:
+      Saint Martin, Saint Jean, Saint Andoche,
+      Sont trois saints lieux où l'on connoît
+      Qu'elle est exempte de reproche."
+
+1. Who was the Saint Gregory mentioned in this inscription? I believe
+there can be little doubt that it was Pope Gregory I., commonly known as
+Gregory the Great, and the cotemporary of Queen Brunéhaut. The only
+other Pope of that name, that has been canonized, is Gregory VII., the
+famous Hildebrand; but as his canonization did not take place till the
+close of the last century (700 years after his death), an inscription,
+which, from its obsolete rhymes of "Benoît" and "connoît," bears
+internal evidence of having been made in the sixteenth or seventeenth
+century, could not have applied to him the epithet _Saint_.
+
+2. Brunéhaut having been one of the most profligate queens that ever sat
+upon a throne, and Gregory the Great one of the most virtuous Popes that
+have shed lustre on the tiara, a second Query presents itself:--Is it
+possible that such a Pope could have degraded himself and his office by
+eulogising such a queen? The bare idea is at variance with the known
+character of that Pope; and the imputation, if substantiated, would
+materially detract from his established reputation for piety and wisdom.
+
+3. Is there any passage in the writings of Gregory the Great that can be
+cited in support of the allegations of this inscription?

+50. _Sculptured Stones in the North of Scotland._--Some time ago Patrick
+Chalmers, Esq., of Auldbar, in the county of Forfar, obtained drawings
+of all the sculptured stone obelisks in Angus, and got them lithographed
+for the members of the Bannatyne Club. The work has excited considerable
+attention among historical students in this country as well as abroad,
+and certainly has laid a foundation for correct comparison of these with
+other similar remains of a symbolical nature in other parts of the
+country. In Aberdeenshire there is a considerable number of these
+obelisks, which, either from the more primitive state of the people, or
+the hardness of the granite, are much less elaborate than those in
+Angus. None, however, can exceed the obelisks in Easter Ross for beauty
+of execution. It is singular that no monument of this class has been
+found south of the Forth. The Spalding Club (Aberdeen) proposes to
+obtain drawings of all the stones of this description in the North of
+Scotland; and the artist who depicted the Angus stones so accurately and
+well for Mr. Chalmers has commenced his labours. Circulars have been
+sent to the clergy of about 240 parishes in the North, asking for
+information as to the locality of any sculptured stones in their
+districts, but as yet answers have been obtained from only about 150. It
+is probable that where no return has been made, there is no stone of the
+description alluded to; but it would be desirable to know that the
+Spalding Club had exhausted the matter.

+51. _Prophecies of Nostradamus._--In a little work I am meditating on
+the subject of English Popular Prophecies, I shall have occasion to
+introduce a notice of this celebrated astrologer, whose successful
+prediction of the Great Rebellion, and consequent English popularity,
+almost entitle him to a place among our native vaticinating worthies.
+
+The curious prefiguration of the fate of Charles I. stands thus in the
+original edition of the _Prophesies_: Lyons, 1572, under the head, "A
+mes Imprimeurs de Hongrie:"
+
+      "Senat de Londres mettront à mal leur Roy."
+
+In the only other edition to which I have the opportunity of referring,
+London, 1672, "Translated and commented upon by Theophilus de
+Garencieres," it is much amplified:
+
+      "XLIX.
+
+      "Gand et Bruxelles marcheront contra Anvers.
+      Senat de Londres mettront _à mort_ leur Roy.
+      Le sel et vin luy seront à l'envers
+      Pour eux avoir le Regne or desseroy."
+
+The more literal accuracy of this version, and the number of the
+quatrain (interpreted by the commentator to refer to the year of
+Charles's death), induce doubts as to its authenticity. Collections of
+early editions of Nostradamus are not of frequent occurrence in England:
+but I am told that a fine series exists in the "Bibliothèque du Roi,"
+and as the subject is interesting, some one, perhaps, out of the many
+readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES" who will visit Paris this holiday time
+may be induced to examine them, and make a note of the _earliest_
+edition in which the latter form of the prediction occurs.

+
+  "About four years ago, an English Friend waited on me, to request
+  me to enter my name as a subscriber to an edition of the Bible,
+  which a Committee of Friends were intending to publish. The
+  printed prospectus stated that the work was designed to be one
+  suited for daily perusal in Friends' families; that from it would
+  be carefully excluded every passage that was indelicate, and unfit
+  for reading aloud; and also those portions which might be called
+  dangerous, which it was possible the unlearned and unstable might
+  wrest to their own destruction."

+to the inhabitants of the villages upon the banks of the Thames, who
+appear to have had each their assigned bounds for their fishery. In the
+Churchwardens' Book of Wandsworth, under date 1580, is the following
+entry:
+
+  "M.D. that this yere in so[=m]er the fishinge Rome of Wandesworthe
+  was by certen of Putney denyed, and long sute before my L. Mayor
+  of London continued, and at the last, accordinge to Right,

+  so[=m]er the fysshers of Wandesworthe tooke betweene Monday and
+  Saturday seven score salmons in the same fishinge, to the gret
+  honor of God."

+
+_The Twentieth of the Thirty-nine Articles._--In a note to a work
+entitled _Sketches of the History of Man_, Dublin, 1779, at vol. i. p.
+104. I observe the following statement:
+
+  "In the Act 13th of Elizabeth, anno 1571, confirming the
+  Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England, these Articles are
+  not engrossed, but referred to as comprised in a printed book,
+  intitled 'Articles agreed to by the whole Clergy in Convocation
+  holden at London, 1562.' The forged clause is, 'The Church has
+  power to decree Rites and Ceremonies, and authority in
+  Controversies of Faith.' That clause is not in the Articles
+  referred to; nor the slightest hint of any authority with respect
+  to matters of faith. In the same year, 1571, the Articles were
+  printed both in Latin and English, precisely as in the year 1562.
+  But soon after came out spurious editions, in which the said
+  clause was foisted into the Twentieth Article, and continues so to
+  this day," &c.
+
+This is a grave charge. Is it a true one? I have not at hand the
+authorities by which to examine it, and therefore seek an answer from
+some of your readers who may be able to give it. My question refers to
+the imputation of a clause having been foisted into our Articles of
+Faith by a forgery, and still continuing in them; not to the truth of
+any part of our Articles as they now stand. To this there is sufficient
+testimony.

+  "He (Laud) was accused of forging the contested clause in Art. XX.
+  And after appealing to four printed copies of the Articles, one of
+  them as early as 1563, and all containing the passage which the
+  Puritans disliked, he added, 'I shall make it yet plainer: for it
+  is not fit concerning an Article of Religion, and an Article of
+  such consequence for the order, truth, and peace of the Church,
+  you should rely upon my copies, be they never so many or never so

+  here under my officer's hand, who is public notary, is returned to
+  me the Twentieth Article with this affirmative clause in it, and

+It was introduced by Coverdale and Tyndale, and is, I believe, in all
+our English translations except the Puritan or Genevan, which has "a

+
+PASSAGE IN VIRGIL.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 24.)
+
+Your correspondent ERYX inquires, in your paper of July 12, whether
+Servius's interpretation of
+
+      "Viridesque secant placido æquore silvas."
+
+      Virg. _Æn._ viii. 96.
+
+be correct. I beg to reply that it is not. The interpretations of
+Servius are almost invariably incorrect; Servius was a very illiterate,
+ignorant, and narrow-minded man, and totally unable to understand the
+author whom he attempted to illustrate. His comments on Virgil resemble
+those which we might expect a hedge schoolmaster in Yorkshire now to
+make upon Milton. These comments, which are only valuable on account of
+the mythological traditions which are preserved in them, have been very
+injurious to the right understanding of Virgil.
+
+The meaning of the passage in question is, that the Æneadæ row up the
+river among the green woods, or (literally) "secant silvas," _travel the
+woods_, "placido æquore," _on the calm surface of the water_, _i. e._ by
+rowing up the placid stream of the river. This, and not that assigned by
+Servius following Terentienus, is the true meaning. 1st. Because
+_secare_ with the objective case means constantly in Virgil to _travel
+along_. Compare "viam secat ad naves," _Æn._ vi. 902.; "secuit sub
+nubibus arcum," v. 658., &c. 2ndly. Because the Tiber is described only
+as _placid_, not as _clear_; and as appears from _Æn._ vii. 31., was
+actually _very muddy_, "multa flavus arena." The immediately preceding
+words, "variisque teguntur arboribus," have been pronounced by a very
+learned critic (one who has often deserved well of Virgil) to be _idle,
+otiosa_. (See Wagner ad _Æn._ i. 678.) And his opinion has been
+sanctioned by the usually judicious Forbiger. But they are not idle; on
+the contrary, they are necessary to convey the idea that the Æneadæ
+passed up the river _under the shade of the trees_; and so are
+supplemental to the statement contained in the words cited by your
+correspondent, which inform us only that they went up the river. Hence a
+confirmation of the correctness of the received interpretation.
+

+
+  34. Westland Row, Dublin, July 14. 1851.
+
+Your correspondent ERYX wishes to know, whether in the passage (_Æneid_,
+viii. 96.)--
+
+      "Viridesque secant placido æquore silvas,"
+
+the word _secant_ can legitimately convey the same idea that is
+expressed in Tennyson's lines--
+
+            ---- "my shallop ... clove
+      The citron shadows in the blue."
+
+There can be little doubt that this well-known passage in the _Æneid_ is
+the _original_ of Tennyson's image; that, in fact, it is an excusable
+plagiarism on the part of the latter, who, in introducing, his image,
+has, I think, missed the appropriateness, and therefore increased
+beauty, belonging to it in the original passage of Virgil.
+
+When Æneas is journeying up the Tiber to visit Evander, the river, in
+order to lessen his labours--
+
+      "refluens ... substitit unda;"
+
+but notwithstanding this, the journey was arduous as is shown in the
+_whole_ of the three lines 94-96.
+
+      "Olli remigio noctemque diemque fatigant,
+      Et longos superant flexes, variisque teguntur
+      Arboribus, viridesque secant pacido æquore silvas."
+
+That is to say, "They labour at the oar till night is wearied out, and
+day also is obliged to give place in its turn; they master one by one
+the long serpentine bends of the river, and, though covered and inclosed
+by the varied foliage above them, they cut their way through the
+opposing woods, which lie, as it were, in their path in the shadowy
+surface of the clear, still water."
+
+The word _placido_ is surely sufficient to prevent any one falling into
+the common-place interpretation alluded to by your correspondent as the
+one "usually given."

+v[=a] dit boeck" at the end, of five leaves and a half unnumbered.
+
+The title-page contains a full-length picture of the saint, with a
+nimbus round his head, the knotted cord round his waist, and his palms
+extended, displaying the sacred stigmata. Above the picture is the title
+in red and black. I have written in Italics the words printed in red:
+
+  "_Den_ wÿngaert v[=a] _Sinte_ Franciscus _vol_ schoonre
+  _historien_ legenden ende _duechdelÿcke_ leer[=e]nghen allen
+  _menschen_ seer profÿtelÿch."
+
+And under the picture "Cum _gratia_ et _privilegio_." On the back of the
+title-page is printed as follows:--
+
+  "Dit is die generael tafel v[=a] dese wÿngaert dwelcke ghdeylt is
+  in drie boecken.
+
+      ¶ Dat eerste boeck inhout

+
+Under these tables of contents occur two stanzas, the first containing
+five lines, the second containing seven lines. They commence:--
+
+      "¶ O salige wÿngaert seer diep gheplant
+      Groyende in duechden van vruchten playsant," &c.
+
+The preface to the _Grote Legende_ informs us that it is Saint
+Bonaventura's life of Saint Francis, and mentions why it is called the
+_Great Legend_. This life ends at folio 47.
+
+The preface to the _Oude Legende_, which next follows, states that it is
+"gathered from the writings of his companions and the chronicles of the
+order of the Brothers Minor;" and the "Prologhe" (which succeeds the
+preface) mentions--
+
+  "Die leg[=e]de van zÿn drie gesellen den spiegel der
+  volcom[=e]heyts der minderbroeders. Broeder Thomas oude legends
+  e[=n] d[=e] boeck der ghelÿcheden daer seer schoon besereu[=e] is.
+  Hoe ghelÿck dat dese heylighe man Franciscus: Christo Jhesu."
+
+These lives, I suppose, are--that joint narrative compiled by three
+intimate associates of the Saint, "zÿn drie gesellen," that composed by
+Thomas of Celano; and the _Liber Conformitatum_.
+
+The 39th chap. of this _Oude Legende_, folio ciii., relates, as the
+preface says--
+
+  "¶ Hoe dat S. F. woude reysen in verre l[=a]den om dat vole te
+  bekeren e[=n] te vermaenen e[=n] v[=a] die grote tribulacie die hi
+  leet int solda[=e]s lant e[=n] hoe hi gerne martelaer hadde
+  geworden e[=n] hoe die broeders te Antiochien sÿn oord[=e]
+  a[=e]naemen."
+
+On which Jewish-converting martyrdom-seeking journey Dr. Geddes (in his
+curious little work on the _Romish Orders of Monks and Friars_, Lond.
+1714) quaintly remarks:
+
+  "A Quaker's having gone from England to Rome to convert the pope
+  to his religion, is a mighty jest with some people, who are very
+  much edified with this story of Francis's going from Italy to
+  Egypt to convert the sultan, but these two adventures do to me
+  appear to be so much alike that I shall leave it to anatomists to
+  tell whether good wits that prompt others, have not their brains
+  either made of the same size, or much in the same posture."
+
+The _Oude Legende_ ends folio 44. Next follows:
+
+  "¶ Die historie van d[=e] aflaet van Sinte Maria van d[=e]
+  enghelen diem[=e] porti[=u]kel heet,"
+
+as the preface hath it. Some of your readers may have seen an
+advertisement respecting a series of Franciscan works (to be published,
+I think, by Richardson of Derby), entitled the _Portioncule Library_;
+and seeing in the above table of contents "Die aflaet van Portiunkel,"
+or the Indulgence of the _Portiunkel_, they may be at a loss to know its
+meaning, so I shall quote a note from Mrs. Jameson's highly interesting
+and valuable work on the _Monastic Orders_, which is to the purpose:
+
+  "The term Porzioncula means literally 'a small portion, share, or
+  allotment.' The name was given to a slip of land, of a few acres
+  in extent, at the foot of the hill of Assisi, and on which stood a
+  little chapel; both belonged to a community of Benedictines, who
+  afterwards bestowed the land and the chapel on the brotherhood of
+  S. Francis. This chapel was then familiarly known as the 'Capella
+  della Porzioncula.' Whether the title by which it has since become
+  famous as the S. Maria-degli-Angeli belonged to it originally, or
+  because the angels were heard singing around and above it at the
+  time of the birth of St. Francis, does not seem clear. At all
+  events this chapel became early sanctified as the scene of the
+  ecstasies and visions of the saint; here also S. Clara made her
+  profession. Particular indulgences were granted to those who
+  visited it for confession and repentance on the fifth of August
+  and it became a celebrated place of pilgrimage in the fourteenth
+  century. Mr. Ford tells us, that in Spain the term _Porzioncula_
+  is applied generally to distinguish the chapel or sanctuary
+  dedicated to St. Francis within the Franciscan churches. The
+  original chapel of the Porzioncula now stands in the centre of the
+  magnificent church which has been erected over it."
+
+In the "Legende" of St. Anthony of Padua, chap. vii. fol. ccxx., we have
+that saint's "sermo ad pisces" in the city of Rimini, _die vol ketters
+was_, and the conversion therefrom of the said _ketters_ or heretics.
+
+The "Prologhe" to the narrative "van die vÿf Martelaren," fol.
+clxxviii., commences, "Ego quasi Vitis fructificavi suavitatem odoris
+alo cen[=e] wÿngaert," &c.: here we learn why the work is called _Den
+Wÿngaert_, or _The Vine_.
+
+In the "tractat v[=a] S. F. orden e[=n] reghele," at fol. cccxxix., we
+have an account of Brother Agnellus of Pisa his mission to England in
+1224.
+
+In the "Getal der broeder[=e] e[=n] prouintien," at fol. cccci., we
+learn that at that time (1518) England had 7 convents and 200 friars;
+Ireland 15 convents and 400 friars; and Scotland 8 convents and 120
+friars.
+
+The "Kalendier" which follows this "Getal" is printed in red and black.
+
+"Den aflaet v[=a] rom[=e]" is the last tract in the book. Here is the
+finis:
+
+  "¶ Hier eyndt bÿ de gratie gods dat derde boec v[=a] desen
+  wÿngaert die mit groten arbeyt wt veel duct[=e]telÿcke scrift[=e]

+  allen gueden kenten menschen.
+
+  "¶ Hier na volcht di tafele."
+
+After the "tafel" or index occur some verses containing seventy-three
+lines, eulogistic of the saint.
+
+I forgot to mention that in the _Oude Legende_ some of St. Francis's
+poems are given, translated from the Italian originals: at fol. cxxii.
+is given the "Canticum solis," part of which Sir James Stephen quotes in
+his sketch of the saint's life.
+
+I have Query to make, but must defer it to another time, as I have

+
+An extraordinary mode of swearing, akin to the oaths already noticed,
+is recorded by Ysbrant Ides in his _Travels from Moscow to China_
+(London, 1705, and reprinted in the second volume of Harris's
+Collection):--
+
+  "Two Tunguzian hostages falling out, one accused the other before
+  the Waywode (or Viceroy) of having conjured his deceased brother
+  to death. The Waywode asked the accuser if he would, according to
+  the Tunguzian custom, put the accused to his oath? To this he
+  answered in the affirmative; after which the accused took a _live
+  dog_, laid him on the ground, and with a knife stuck him into the
+  body, just under his left foot, and immediately clapped his mouth
+  to the wound, and sucked out the dog's blood as long as he could
+  come at it; after which he lift him up, laid him on his shoulders,
+  and clapped his mouth again to the wound in order to suck out the
+  remaining blood. An excellent drink indeed! And this is the
+  greatest oath and most solemn confirmation of the Truth amongst
+  them; so that on credit of this the accused was set free, and the
+  accuser punished for his false accusation."
+
+The dog, designed, as Cicero observes, for man's use, was doubtless
+selected for his sagacity and faithfulness; and by Loccenius, in his
+_Leges W. Gothicæ_, "tria canum capita" are stated to have been
+"Hunnorum gentis insignia," the progenitors of the Tunguzians, p. 107.
+In Northern Europe "sanguine Deos placari creditum; canibus etiam cum
+hominibus permistè in luco suspensis." (_Ibid._ p. 105.)
+
+Among the northern nations, not only their testimoniary oaths were thus
+sanctioned by blood, but their confederative also, in which their
+fraternisation was symbolised by reciprocal transfusion of blood.
+
+      "Dear as the blood that warms my heart."
+
+      Gray's _Bard_.
+
+It was the custom of the Scythians "non dextras tantum implicare, sed
+pollices mutuo vincire, nodoque perstringere; mox sanguine in artus
+extremos se effundente levi ritu _cruorem elicere_, atque invicem
+lambere." (Hanseanius _De Jurejurando Verterum_.) Quintus Curtius
+remarks that among the Hindoos (between whom and the Scythians Sir W.
+Jones and other ethnographers have observed various traces of affinity)
+the joining of right hands was their usual mode of salutation; "dextra
+fidei sedes."
+
+En passant, I have elsewhere seen the opinion quoted by a correspondent
+(Vol. ii., p. 464), "Sedem animæ in digitis ponunt," attributed to the
+Hindoos. Query, Has not the profession of θεληται (see Dr.
+Maitland on _Mesmerism_) prevailed among them? Their propensity to
+conjuring is so proverbial, that, according to a writer in the _Asiatic
+Researches_, that term is derived from one of their tribes. See also on
+their witchcrafts, Acosta's _East and West Indies_, chap. xxvi.
+
+Before I dismiss the subject of swearing, permit me to observe what
+appears to me to be the origin of the apothegm "Fiat Justitia, ruat
+Coelum" (Vol. ii., p. 494.), which, with a slight change, was afterwards
+adopted by Ferdinand, emperor of Austria.
+
+May it not have originated in an oath similar to that of Chaganus, king
+of the Huns, recorded by Otrokoesi, in his _Historiæ Hungaricæ_?--
+
+  "Abarico ritu jusjurandum ad hunc modum præstitit. Ense edueto et
+  in altum sublato sibi et Abaricorum genti dira imprecatus _si quid
+  mali_, &c. _Coelum_ ex alto ipsis et Deus Ignis qui in coelo est,
+  _irrueret_."
+
+More sententiously he may have said: "Fiat [a me] justitia, [in me] ruat
+Coelum, [si non]."

+works referred to in Vol. iii., p. 192., see _Gentleman's Magazine_,
+vol. i. p. 415.; on the singular notion, in the fourteenth century, of
+the harmlessness of colloquial and affirmative oaths, see _Archæologia_,

+
+HUGH HOLLAND AND HIS WORKS.
+
+(Vol. iii. p. 427.; Vol. iv., p. 62.)
+
+The querist on Hugh Holland and his works, must be content with a reply
+of unvarnished brevity.
+
+1. "Where are these lines taken from, and what do they mean?"--The lines
+are from the _Cypress garland_ of Hugh Holland, 1625. 4to. The meaning
+is obvious. I assume that Holland may be trusted as to his own age, to
+which Wood gives no clue.
+
+2. "Who says he did not quit Westminster school till 1589?"--Wood says
+he was bred in Westminster school, and "elected into Trinity coll. in
+Cambridge, an. 1589." Welch, from official documents, gives the same
+date. Wood nowhere states that he "matriculated at Baliol in 1582."
+
+3. "My words are, '_about_ 1590 he succeeded to a fellowship.'"--Wood
+says he was elected to Trinity college in 1589, "of which he was
+_afterwards_ fellow." It may have been some years afterwards.
+
+4. "Why does not MR. CORNEY give your readers his interpretation of the
+mysterious H. H.?"--He reserved it for another occasion, but now
+consents to satisfy the curiosity of the querist and others.
+
+In 1632 Henry Holland dedicated to Charles I. an English version of the
+_Cyrvpædia_ of Xenophon, made by his father Philemon Holland. In the
+dedication, which is signed at length, he says:
+
+  "Also, when any unworthy selfe (anno 1620) offred mine owne
+  collections, entituled _Herwologia Anglica_, unto his highnesse
+  [James I.], he most graciously received it."
+
+In 1614 appeared, under the initials "H. H.," the _Monvmenta
+sepvlchraria sancti Pavli_, and in the address _ad lectorem_ we read:
+
+  "Et non solùm nomine bonus appellatus est [sc. Alex. Nowel], sed
+  etiam et in vita sua bonitas apparuit, et in morte bona sua opera
+  illum sunt sequuta, et uberiùs et fusiùs in _Effigiebus_ nostris
+  et _vitis illustrium Anglorum_ cum de Coleto tum de illo apparet:
+  (quæ nunc transmarino habitu vestiendæ sunt) quare hic illum
+  pluribus prosequi verbis non est opus."
+
+Here is unanswerable evidence that Henry Holland was the compiler of
+both works. In the catalogue of the Grenville collection of books, now
+in the British Museum, both works are ascribed to Hugh Holland.
+
+5. "The edition of 1614 was certainly the first, and that of 1633
+_certainly_ the second."--The querist adopts my correction of his
+threefold error, and calls it an _answer_!
+
+6. "I shall therefore leave the shade of Cole and MR. BOLTON CORNEY to
+settle the question as to whether any such work exists."--The querist
+did not perceive that the _Roxana of Alexander_ was an error for the
+_Roxana of Alabaster_--so he endeavours to draw off the attention of his
+readers from this proof of critical obtuseness by a common-place
+witticism.
+
+I must describe the facile process by which our querist has obtained his
+apparent triumph. Wood, at the close of his article on Hugh Holland the
+poet, which is chiefly derived from the _Worthies_ of Fuller, mentions
+one Hugh Holland as admitted B.A. in 1570, and another Hugh Holland as
+matriculated at Baliol college in 1582, aged twenty-four; with others of
+that surname. He adds, "but whether any of them were authors, I cannot
+yet tell, or _whether the last was the same with the poet_. Qu." Now,
+with regard to the first and second articles, our querist omits the
+sentence which proves the inapplicability of his quotations! and with
+regard to the third article, he omits the word _afterwards_, which forms
+the gist of the argument.

+
+LADY FLORA HASTINGS' BEQUEST.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 44.)
+
+"Assertion is not proof," and it surely does require _proof_ ere we
+consent to brand a writer of unimpeached character with the charge of "a
+shameless, heartless act of literary piracy."
+
+It rests with ERZA to bring forward his or her _proof_ that the lines in
+dispute were written by Lady Flora. ERZA asserted that they were "never
+before printed." I have enabled him or her to satisfy himself or herself
+that they were in print _nearly_ twelve years ago. I am disposed to
+believe ERZA equally mistaken in the assertion as to the authorship of
+the lines. If this prove so, the imputation cast upon Miss Barber will
+revert upon her accuser, and will demand the most ample apology.
+
+I do not know Miss Barber; her writings I have long admired; and having
+been the means of drawing down upon her such an accusation, I am not
+disposed to let the inquiry terminate here. Nor can I believe the Editor
+of "NOTES AND QUERIES" will desire that either a literary error or a
+groundless slander should descend to posterity in his pages.
+
+    L. H. K.
+
+ERZA cannot entertain a higher respect than I do for the memory of Lady
+Flora Hastings; but I am sure no member of her family would countenance
+any attempt to exalt her reputation at the expense of another's; and I
+fear ERZA, however unintentionally, has fallen into this error. The
+stanzas she attributed to Lady Flora, as L. H. K. stated (Vol. iii., p.
+522.), were published as Miss M. A. S. Barber's in _The Christian Lady's
+Magazine_ for September, 1839, only two months after Lady Flora's death.
+In the preceding number, as L. H. K. also correctly stated, is a brief
+memoir of Lady Flora, in which it is said, that shortly before her death
+she "delivered to her fond brother a little Bible, the gift of her
+mother, requesting him to restore it to that beloved parent," &c. ERZA
+may be unacquainted with that publication, but I can assure her that
+Lady Flora's brother, my esteemed and lamented patron, was not; for
+shortly after the number appeared, I found it lying on his table, in his
+own private room at Donington Park, and, while waiting to see him,
+partly read it there myself for the first time. I know not whether he
+ever read the lines in question in the succeeding number, but I know the
+_Magazine_ was regularly taken by some of Lady Flora's intimate friends,
+and I cannot suppose they would allow any poem of hers to pass unnoticed
+for twelve years, with the signature of Miss Barber attached to it.
+Indeed the stanzas bear internal evidence of being written after Lady
+Flora's death, and founded on the account given by _Charlotte Elizabeth_
+in the preceding number. If, however, ERZA still persists in attributing
+them to Lady Flora Hastings, she is in duty bound to give her authority,
+and not bring such a heavy accusation against Miss Barber on the bare
+assertion of an anonymous correspondent. If Miss Barber really composed
+the stanzas, as I believe she did, she was doubtless actuated with a
+desire to honour the memory and character of Lady Flora; and in such
+case nothing could be more cruel and unjust than the conduct imputed to
+her by ERZA. Unfortunately I do not know Miss Barber's address, or
+whether she is still living; but if any of your readers do, I hope they
+will name this case to her, or her friends, that her reputation may be
+cleared from the imputation thus rashly cast on it. If the case cannot
+thus be satisfactorily settled, I will obtain the desired information
+from another quarter; but I hope ERZA will also offer the assistance in
+her power towards this desirable object; and to set the example of
+candour and openness, I will subscribe my real name.

+_Coke and Cowper_ (Vol. iv., p. 24.).--In reply to one of your
+correspondents, who inquires as to the correct pronunciation of the name
+of the poet _Cowper_, I may mention, that some years ago, being on a
+visit in the neighbourhood of Weston Underwood, I made particular
+inquiries on this point in the village, and found that _there_ the poet
+had always been known as Mr. C_oo_per. The name of the noble family to
+which he was related will be the best criterion.
+
+By the way, was there not sometime since a proposal for erecting by
+subscription a worthy monument to a poet whose memory every Christian
+must revere? In whose hands was this project, and with whom does its
+execution rest?
+
+    THOS. MCCALMONT.
+
+  Highfield, near Southampton, July 22. 1851.
+
+In my humble opinion, Coke is the old English form of writing _cook_,
+from A.-Sax. "cóc." See Chaucer's _Coke's Tale_, and _Cock Lorrell's
+Bote_, where we read "Drouers, Cokes, and pulters;" and in this same
+poem occurs the line, "Carpenters, _coupers_, and ioyners." See also
+under Cooper in Pegge's _Anecdotes of the English Language_; the names,
+as thus pronounced, are rendered significant.
+
+Should it be asked how we ought to pronounce the name of another poet,
+viz. Cowley, if Cowper be called Cooper, I answer that they are from
+different roots: that Cowley is from _cow_, and _ley_, signifying cow
+pasture, or place for cows; and that Cowper is only another form of
+Cooper: not but that in the north they pronounce _cow_ as _coo_, and,
+therefore, they would call him Cooley.

+_Miss or Mistress_ (Vol. iv., p. 6.).--The indiscriminate use of "Miss"

+not, as M. S. supposes, always accompanied by the Christian name for
+unmarried ladies; and the custom lasted at least as late as the reign of
+George II. Pope in his letters (about 1719) mentions "Mrs. Lepel" and
+"Mrs. Bellenden," maids of honour. The examples are innumerable, but the
+_latest_ instance I remember is the Duchess of Queensbury addressing
+Patty Blount in 1756 as "Mrs. Blount;" though, no doubt, Patty was, by
+_that time_, entitled to what is called _brevet_ rank.

+extent confirm his views with regard to the use of them in foreign
+countries, having now before me the plate (a woodcut) of Erhardus à
+Muckhenthall--probably in modern German, Erhardt von Muckenthal--dated
+1634. It consists of his armorial bearings, surmounted by a helmet, &c.,
+apparently indicative of nobility; but the tinctures not being
+expressed, I cannot give the blazon. The charge on his shield seems to
+be intended for a lamb salient.

+
+Mr. Macaulay's vigorous sketch of the gallant cornet of horse who
+resigned his commission for the toga, and, after figuring during his
+life as statesman than whom "none has left a more stainless, and none a
+more splendid name," was stricken down in full council while straining
+his feeble voice to rouse the drooping spirit of his country, forms the
+fifth part of _The Traveller's Library_: and it would be difficult to
+find a volume of the same compass better calculated to furnish a couple
+of hours' amusing and instructive reading than _William Pitt, Earl of
+Chatham, by Thomas Babington Macaulay_.
+
+Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson will sell, on Tuesday next, an extensive
+collection of Autograph Letters, chiefly of distinguished Actors,
+Actresses, and Dramatic Writers, but including a very interesting series
+of letters, documents, and papers relating to the Byron family, and,
+what is of still more importance and historical value, the Autograph
+Correspondence of Charles I. with Captain Titus, written during his
+imprisonment in Carisbrook Castle, and treating of his proposed escape
+from it, and also some letters of Charles II., addressed by him, after
+the Restoration, to the same zealous adherent. On the following day
+Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson will be employed in the disposal of a very
+select Collection of Autograph Letters and Historical Documents,
+including Letters and Autographs of Queen Elizabeth, James I., King John
+of France (Jehan le Bon), Richard Duke of York, Philip II. of Spain, and
+many documents connected with the great Anglo-Norman Families, and the
+Royal Houses of France and Normandy.

+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works

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

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

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

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm

+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was 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:
+
+     https://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.

+Notes.
+
+
+PROVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY.
+
+The following "sententious truths" are extracted from Bishop
+Jewel's grand performance, _A Defense of the Apologie of the
+Churche of Englande_, fol. 1571, a work as remarkable for "the
+pomp and charms" of its eloquence, as for the profound erudition,
+and the consummate ability, with which its "good doctrine" is
+exhibited and enforced. In common, however, with the other
+productions of this illustrious champion of the Reformation, it
+has an additional and most attractive feature; one, indeed, which,
+less or more, characterises all the literary achievements of the
+gigantic geniuses of the Elizabethan period, the "very dust of
+whose writings is gold."[1] The "Defense" abounds with _proverbial
+folk-lore_ of the rarest sort; and this is so skilfully and
+appositely introduced, that the subject-matter presents itself to
+the reader's mind rather as a corollary, naturally deduced from a
+self-evident proposition--for who would think for a moment of
+questioning the truth of what has the semblance of a popular
+adage?[2]--than as a nicely managed argument, which receives no
+other help from the latter than that of illustration, employed for
+the simple and single purpose, not of strengthening such argument,
+but of rendering it comprehensible by the "meanest capacities."
+
+  [Footnote 1: Bentley, of Bp. Pearson, in _Dissert. on Phalaris._]
+
+  [Footnote 2: I have somewhere met with an amusing instance of
+  this. It seems that Dean Swift, with a party of friends, were
+  invited to view the garden of a gentleman, the walls of which were
+  laden with peaches of a most tempting ripeness, but which they
+  were strictly forbidden to touch. This injunction was followed,
+  until Swift ('twas like him) at length put forth his hand and
+  plucked, at the same time observing, with all becoming gravity,
+  "As my deeply venerated grandmother used to say,
+
+      'Never fail to pluck a peach,
+      Whene'er you find one in your reach.'"
+
+  'Twas enough. The authority of the adage was sufficient to
+  overrule every other obligation; and the rest of the company, much
+  to the disgust of the master of the garden, immediately proceeded,
+  with infinite gusto, to follow the Dean's example, not for a
+  moment doubting the propriety of the act. "The court awards it,
+  and the law doth give it."]
+
+With this little bit of criticism, let me take the liberty of
+recommending to such of your readers, and I trust they are many, who
+seek for knowledge and wisdom in the richly-stored tomes, especially of
+the divines, whose appearance imparted a further glory to the days of
+our "good queen Bess," to note down the "wise saws and modern instances"
+which lie scattered along their glowing periods, like "dew-drops on the
+flow'ry lawn," for the purpose of transferring them to your very
+appropriate pages.
+
+The remark of our old lexicographer, Florio[3], that "daily both new
+words are invented, and books still found that make a new supply of
+old," may, in its latter part, very fitly be applied to our proverbial
+philosophy; for, great as is the light which has already been thrown
+upon the subject, it must be admitted that a more _systematic_
+examination than they have yet received, of the works of the Elizabethan
+writers, would elucidate it to an extent that can scarcely be
+appreciated.
+
+  [Footnote 3: _Worlde of Wordes_, Ital. and Eng. Pr. 1598.]
+
+With these observations I offer you my little string of pearls, under
+the hope that row after row may be added to it.
+
+  "1. A contentious man wil never lacke wordes.
+
+  2. A Judge must walke with feete of lead.
+
+  3. An ignorante Judge was never indifferente.
+
+  4. A simple eie is soone beguiled.
+
+  5. By a smal draughte of sea-water, though maiste judge the
+  verdure of the whole.
+
+  6. Error can not be defended, but by error.
+
+  7. Evils must be cured by theire contraries.
+
+  8. He is very doumbe, and can speak but little, that cannot speake
+  ill.
+
+  9. He that cannot judge Golde by sounde, or in sight, yet may trie
+  it by the poise.
+
+  10. Il wil is ever plentiful of il woordes.
+
+  11. In the fairest rose thou maiste soonest finde a canker.
+
+  12. It is a desperate cause, that with woordes and eloquence maie
+  not be smoothed.
+
+  13. It is very course woulle that will take no colour.
+
+  14. Let Reason leade thee; let Authoritie move thee; let Truthe
+  enforce thee.
+
+  15. Of an Impossibilitie yee maie conclude what yee liste.
+
+  16. Oftentimes he is hardiest man to speake, that hathe leaste to
+  saie.
+
+  17. One demanded this question of Zoilus the Railer: Why takest
+  thou sutche pleasure in speaking il? Zoilus made answere, Bicause,
+  whereas I woulde doo it, I am not hable.
+
+  18. Rashe judgemente argueth somme folie.
+
+  19. The Heares of a mannes Bearde, or Heade, never ware white al
+  togeather.
+
+  20. The mouthe which speaketh untruth killeth the soule.
+
+  21. The report of an enimie maketh no proufe.
+
+  22. The slowe paced horses kepe backe the chariot.
+
+  23. The Truthe wilbe hable evermore to beare it selfe.
+
+  24. To mainteine a fault knowne, is a double faulte.
+
+  25. To spende woordes without cause, is affliction of the sprite,
+  and losse of time.
+
+  26. Vesselles never geve so great a sounde, as when they be
+  emptie.
+
+  27. Untruthe cannot be shielded, but by untruthe.
+
+  28. Where the woulfe is broken in, it is beste for the poor sheepe
+  to breake out."
+
+It is as well to remark that the above aphorisms are contained within
+the first 365 pages of the "Defense." Their orthography and punctuation
+have been carefully preserved, as they ought always to be in such like
+cases. Some of them I have not elsewhere met with, and others present
+_vari� lectiones_ of an interesting character. They are all delivered in
+a quaint simplicity of style, which admirably illustrates the general
+tone of thought and language of the period.
+
+    COWGILL.
+
+
+PARAPHRASE ON THE 137TH PSALM BY CHURCHILL.
+
+A paraphrase of the 137th psalm by Charles Churchill may, perhaps, be
+deemed not unworthy of a place amongst your Notes. It was originally
+sent to Mrs. Baily of Cadbury, who had remonstrated with him on his
+devoting his pen exclusively to satire. That lady gave them to my
+maternal grandfather. Three lines of the last verse are lost.
+
+    R. C. H. H.
+
+  Thimbleby.
+
+      "Our instruments untun'd, unsung,
+        (Grief doth from musick fly)
+      Upon the willow trees were hung,
+        The trees that grew thereby.
+
+      "'Raise, raise your voice,' the victors say,
+        'Touch, touch the trembling string,
+      In Sion's manner briskly play,
+        In Sion's manner sing.'
+
+      "Our voice, alas! how should we raise
+        In Babylonish ground?
+      How should we sing Jehovah's praise
+        In Pagan fetters bound?
+
+      "If ever, much lov'd Sion, thou
+        Dost from my mind depart,
+      May my right hand no longer know
+        Soft musick's soothing art.
+
+      "If when in jocund songs I smile,
+        Thou'rt not my choicest theme,
+      May my tongue lose her wonted skill,
+        Nor drink at Siloa's stream.
+
+      "When Babylon's unhallowed host,
+        Flow'd in with hostile tide,
+      'Down, down with Sion to the dust,'
+        The sons of Edom cried.
+
+      "Hear, hear O Lord these sons of spight,
+        Nor let thy anger sleep,
+      Let their own wishes on them light,
+        In turn let Edom weep.
+
+      "Blest is the man whose fated host
+        Shall Babylon surround,
+      Who shall destroy her impious boast,
+        And raze her to the ground.
+
+      "Blest is he, whose devouring hand,"

+      LI.
+
+      "Appear'dst thou not to Paris in this guise?
+      Or to more deeply blest Anchises? or,
+      In all thy perfect goddess-ship, when lies
+      Before thee thy own vanquished Lord of War?
+      And gazing in thy face as toward a star
+      Laid on thy lap, his eyes to thee upturn,
+      Feeding on thy sweet cheek![4] while thy lips are
+      With lava kisses melting while they burn,
+      Showered on his eyelids, brow, and mouth, as from an urn!
+

+
+      Glowing, and circumfused in speechless love,
+      Their full divinity inadequate
+      That feeling to express, or to improve,
+      The gods become as mortals, and man's fate
+      Has moments like their brightest ----" &c. &c.
+
+  [Footnote 4: To these beautiful and glowing lines the author has
+  appended the following:
+
+
+            "[Greek: Ophthalmous estian.]"
+      "Atque oculos pascat uterque suos."
+
+      OVID. _Amor._ lib. iii.]
+
+It seems to me that the noble poet has condescended to avail himself of
+a little _ruse_ in referring to this passage of Ovid. It would have been
+perhaps more honest to have referred his readers to those magnificent
+lines in the opening address to Venus, by Lucretius, "De Rerum Natur�,"
+beginning,--
+
+      "�neadum genitrix, hominum div�mque voluptas,
+      Alma Venus!" &c.
+
+I subjoin the verses which Lord Byron _really_ had in mind when he wrote
+the foregoing stanzas:
+
+      "Nam tu sola potes tranquill� pace juvare
+      Mortaleis: quoniam belli fera moenera Mavors
+      Armipotens regit, _in gremium_ qui s�pe _tuum se_
+      Rejieit, �terno devictus volnere Amoris:
+      Atque _ita, suspiciens_ tereti cervice reposta
+      _Pascit amore avidos, inhians in te, Dea, visus;_
+      Eque tuo pendet resupini spiritus ore.
+      Hunc tu, Diva, tuo recubantem corpore sancto
+      _Circumfusa super_, suaveis ex ore loquelas
+      Funde, petens placidam Romanis, incluta, pacem."
+
+Surely if the author of _Childe Harold_ were indebted to _any_ ancient
+poet for some ideas embodied in the lines cited, it was to Lucretius and
+not to Ovid that he should have owned the obligation.
+
+    A BORDERER.

+
+Minor Notes.
+
+_On the Word "raised" as used by the Americans._--An American, in answer

+Queries.
+
+
+JOHN A KENT AND JOHN A CUMBER.
+
+I am much obliged to you, Mr. Editor, for giving additional circulation
+to my inquiry (through the medium of the _Athen�um_ of the 19th ult.)
+regarding the two ancient popular wizards, John a Kent and John a
+Cumber. I was aware, from a note received some time ago from my friend
+the Rev. John Webb of Tretire, that there are various current traditions
+in Monmouthshire, and that Coxe's history of that county contains some
+information regarding one of these worthies. That fact has since been
+repeated to me by a gentleman of Newport, who wrote in consequence of
+what appeared in the _Athen�um_, and whose name I do not know that I am
+at liberty to mention. I may, however, take this opportunity of thanking
+him, as well as the transmitter of the curious particulars printed in
+the _Athen�um_ of Saturday last.
+
+One point I wish to ascertain is, whence John a Kent derived his
+appellation? This question has not been at all answered. Has his name
+any connexion, and what, with the village of Kentchurch, in
+Monmouthshire; and why was the place called Kentchurch? To what saint is
+the church dedicated? and has the name of that church anything to do
+with the name of the saint? Anthony Munday (or Mundy), in his MS. play
+(now in my hands by the favour of the Hon. Mr. Mostyn, and by the kind
+interposition of Sir F. Madden), does not give the slightest clue to
+the "birth, parentage, and education" of John a Kent. As to John a
+Cumber, all we learn is, that he was a Scottish conjuror, employed by a
+nobleman of the same country to counteract the proceedings of John a
+Kent, who is represented as in the service of Sir Gosselin Denville, a
+person who appears, from what Munday says, to have had power and
+influence in South Wales.
+
+Now, the name of Sir Gosselin Denville itself suggests a Query; because
+I find in Johnson's _Lives of Highwayman, &c.,_ fol. 1734, p. 15. (I do
+not of course refer to it as a book of any authority), that there was a
+celebrated collector of tribute from travellers who bore that name and
+rank. He, however, came from Yorkshire, and lived (according to the
+narrative of Johnson, who had it most likely from Capt. A. Smith, whose
+work I have not at hand) as long ago as the reign of Edward II. Let me
+ask, therefore, whether there exist any tidings respecting such a person
+as a native of Wales, and as the "master" (I use Munday's word) of John
+a Kent?
+
+But this is not the principal object of my present communication, which
+relates to one of the heroines of Munday's drama--a daughter of
+Llewellin, Prince of North Wales. To her the name of Sidanen is given,
+and she is constantly spoken of as "the fair Sidanen," with the
+additional information, in one place, that "sonnets" had been written in
+her praise. Every person who sends a Query must plead ignorance, and
+mine may be great as regards Welsh poetry, when I inquire, who was
+Sidanen, and where has she been celebrated? By the second volume of
+_Extracts from the Registers of the Stationers' Company_ (printed for
+the Shakspeare Society), it is evident that she was well known about the
+middle of the reign of Elizabeth, for on p. 94. I read the following
+entry:--
+
+      "xiii Augusti [1580]
+
+  "Rich. Jones. Rd. of him for printinge a ballat of brittishe
+  Sidanen, applied by a courtier to the praise of the Queen."
+
+British Sidanen probably meant Sidanen of Ancient Britain, or Wales, to
+whom some unnamed and adulatory courtier had compared Queen Elizabeth. I
+fancied also that I recollected, in Warner's _Albion's England_, some
+allusion to Elizabeth under the name of Sidanen, but I cannot at present
+find it.
+
+As I have my pen in hand, may I add another word, quite upon a different
+subject: it is upon the _nimium_ (pardon the word) _vexata questio_
+about _esile_, as it is spelt in the first and second folios of
+_Hamlet_. Have any of your correspondents, from MR. SINGER to MR.
+CAMPKIN, with all their learning and ingenuity, been able at all to
+settle the point? Surely, then, I cannot be blamed for not taking upon
+me dogmatically to decide it eight years ago. I stated the two positions
+assumed by adverse commentators, and what more could I do? What more
+have your friends done? The principle I went upon was to make my notes
+as short as possible; and after pages on pages have been employed in
+your miscellany, it seems, in my humble judgment, that the case is not
+one jot altered. _Esile_ may still either mean vinegar (eyesel) or the
+river Eisell.

+
+
+SWEARING ON THE HORNS AT HIGHGATE.
+
+Can any of your readers give a satisfactory explanation of what Lord
+Byron, in the LXXth stanza of the first canto of _Childe Harold's
+Pilgrimage_, calls the _worship of the solemn horn_? The whole stanza is
+as follows:
+
+      "Some o'er thy Thamis row the ribbon'd fair,
+      Others along the safer turnpike fly;
+      Some Richmond Hill ascend, some send to Ware,
+      And many to the steep of Highgate hie.
+      Ask ye, Boeotian shades! the reason why? (15)
+      'Tis to the worship of the solemn Horn,
+      Grasp'd in the holy hand of mystery,
+      In whose dread name both men and maids are sworn,
+      And consecrate the oath with draught and dance till morn!"
+
+And the note (15) merely refers to the poet's writing from Thebes, the
+capital of Boeotia.
+
+I have a faint recollection of a circumstance which occurred on a
+journey from York to town some forty years ago, and which I almost fancy
+may throw some distant light on Lord B.'s horn. Among the inside
+passengers by the stage was a middle-aged Yorkshireman, apparently a
+small farmer, who kept the rest in a continual titter with his account
+of various personal adventures, which he related in a style of quaint
+and ludicrous simplicity; and as, in the course of conversation, it
+appeared that he had never visited the metropolis before, it was
+suggested by a couple of wags, that on the arrival of the coach at
+Highgate he should be invited "to make himself free of the Horns."
+Accordingly, when in due time the vehicle halted at the above-mentioned
+place, and the inside passengers, with the exception of York, had
+quitted it, an ostler, having received his cue, appeared at the door
+with a pole, to which we attached a pair of gilded ram's horns; and
+inquired if the "genelman" from Yorkshire, who was on his first visit to
+London, wished to obtain his freedom by swearing on the horns, or would
+rather forego the ceremony by a payment of the customary fee. The
+Yorkshireman was evidently taken aback by the unexpected question; but,
+after a moment's hesitation, intimated that he preferred the horns to
+forking out the cash. He was thereupon directed with mock solemnity to
+place his right hand upon the horns, and to follow the ostler in
+reciting a ridiculous formula; which, if I remember right, consisted in
+his vowing, under certain penalties, to prefer wine to water, roast beef
+and ale to a dry crust and water gruel, the daughter to the mother, the
+sister to the brother, laughing to crying, and songs and glees to
+requiems and psalms, &c.
+
+Can you then oblige me with any information respecting the worship of
+the solemn horn alluded to by Lord Byron; and, secondly, with any
+account respecting the solemn farce of swearing in strangers on the
+horns when reaching Highgate on their first visit to the metropolis,
+which farce I presume has long since been exploded by the introduction
+of the railway.
+
+    KEWENSIS.
+
+  [Moore, in his edition of Byron's _Works_, has the following note
+  on this passage:--"Lord Byron alludes to a ridiculous custom which
+  formerly prevailed at the public-houses in Highgate, of
+  administering a burlesque oath to all travellers of the middling
+  rank who stopped there. The party was sworn on a pair of horns,
+  fastened, 'never to kiss the maid when he could kiss the mistress;
+  never to eat brown bread when he could get white; never to drink
+  small beer when he could get strong;' with many other injunctions
+  of the like kind, to all which was added the saving clause,
+  'unless you like it best.'" Our correspondent, W. S. GIBSON, Esq.,
+  in his _Prize Essay on the History and Antiquities of Highgate_,
+  has preserved some curious notices of this burlesque oath. He
+  says, "All attempts to trace the once prevalent, but now obsolete,
+  custom of 'swearing at Highgate' to any really probable source
+  have proved unavailing, and the custom has fallen into disuse. The
+  early identity of the site of the present hamlet with the ancient
+  forest, and the vicinity of Highgate to a park or chase, naturally
+  suggests the possible connexion of these trophies with huntsmen
+  and their horns; and it is not difficult to perceive that the
+  spoils and emblems of the chase, and the hunter's joyous horn, may
+  in time have acquired the character of household gods, and at
+  length, become like the sword of the warrior, a sacred emblem upon
+  which vows were taken, and the most binding engagements made. It
+  is, however, less difficult to imagine the reality of such an
+  origin, than to account for the strange degeneracy exhibited in
+  the modern aspect of the custom. 'Swearing on the horns' was an
+  observance at all events more than a century old; for a song which
+  embodied a close paraphrase of the oath, according to the best
+  authorised version yet extant, was introduced in a London
+  pantomime at the Haymarket Theatre in the year 1742."]

+  wonders, and conquest of the Firme-Island. The triumphes and

+sentence attributed to _Cicero in Verrem 3._:
+
+  "Like Verres in Tully, _Non quid responderent, sed quemadmodum non

+
+49. _Queen Brun�haut._--I read in a French book of travels that the
+abbey of Saint Martin's, at Autun, contained the tomb of Queen
+Brun�haut, upon which was engraved the following inscription:
+
+      "Ci-g�t la Reine Brun�haut,
+      A qui le Saint Pape Gregoire
+      Donna des �loges de gloire,
+      Qui mettent sa vertu bien haut.
+      Sa pi�t� pour les saints myst�res
+      Lui fit fonder trois monast�res,
+      Sous la r�gle de Saint Beno�t:
+      Saint Martin, Saint Jean, Saint Andoche,
+      Sont trois saints lieux o� l'on conno�t
+      Qu'elle est exempte de reproche."
+
+1. Who was the Saint Gregory mentioned in this inscription? I believe
+there can be little doubt that it was Pope Gregory I., commonly known as
+Gregory the Great, and the cotemporary of Queen Brun�haut. The only
+other Pope of that name, that has been canonized, is Gregory VII., the
+famous Hildebrand; but as his canonization did not take place till the
+close of the last century (700 years after his death), an inscription,
+which, from its obsolete rhymes of "Beno�t" and "conno�t," bears
+internal evidence of having been made in the sixteenth or seventeenth
+century, could not have applied to him the epithet _Saint_.
+
+2. Brun�haut having been one of the most profligate queens that ever sat
+upon a throne, and Gregory the Great one of the most virtuous Popes that
+have shed lustre on the tiara, a second Query presents itself:--Is it
+possible that such a Pope could have degraded himself and his office by
+eulogising such a queen? The bare idea is at variance with the known
+character of that Pope; and the imputation, if substantiated, would
+materially detract from his established reputation for piety and wisdom.
+
+3. Is there any passage in the writings of Gregory the Great that can be
+cited in support of the allegations of this inscription?

+50. _Sculptured Stones in the North of Scotland._--Some time ago Patrick
+Chalmers, Esq., of Auldbar, in the county of Forfar, obtained drawings
+of all the sculptured stone obelisks in Angus, and got them lithographed
+for the members of the Bannatyne Club. The work has excited considerable
+attention among historical students in this country as well as abroad,
+and certainly has laid a foundation for correct comparison of these with
+other similar remains of a symbolical nature in other parts of the
+country. In Aberdeenshire there is a considerable number of these
+obelisks, which, either from the more primitive state of the people, or
+the hardness of the granite, are much less elaborate than those in
+Angus. None, however, can exceed the obelisks in Easter Ross for beauty
+of execution. It is singular that no monument of this class has been
+found south of the Forth. The Spalding Club (Aberdeen) proposes to
+obtain drawings of all the stones of this description in the North of
+Scotland; and the artist who depicted the Angus stones so accurately and
+well for Mr. Chalmers has commenced his labours. Circulars have been
+sent to the clergy of about 240 parishes in the North, asking for
+information as to the locality of any sculptured stones in their
+districts, but as yet answers have been obtained from only about 150. It
+is probable that where no return has been made, there is no stone of the
+description alluded to; but it would be desirable to know that the
+Spalding Club had exhausted the matter.

+51. _Prophecies of Nostradamus._--In a little work I am meditating on
+the subject of English Popular Prophecies, I shall have occasion to
+introduce a notice of this celebrated astrologer, whose successful
+prediction of the Great Rebellion, and consequent English popularity,
+almost entitle him to a place among our native vaticinating worthies.
+
+The curious prefiguration of the fate of Charles I. stands thus in the
+original edition of the _Prophesies_: Lyons, 1572, under the head, "A
+mes Imprimeurs de Hongrie:"
+
+      "Senat de Londres mettront � mal leur Roy."
+
+In the only other edition to which I have the opportunity of referring,
+London, 1672, "Translated and commented upon by Theophilus de
+Garencieres," it is much amplified:
+
+      "XLIX.
+
+      "Gand et Bruxelles marcheront contra Anvers.
+      Senat de Londres mettront _� mort_ leur Roy.
+      Le sel et vin luy seront � l'envers
+      Pour eux avoir le Regne or desseroy."
+
+The more literal accuracy of this version, and the number of the
+quatrain (interpreted by the commentator to refer to the year of
+Charles's death), induce doubts as to its authenticity. Collections of
+early editions of Nostradamus are not of frequent occurrence in England:
+but I am told that a fine series exists in the "Biblioth�que du Roi,"
+and as the subject is interesting, some one, perhaps, out of the many
+readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES" who will visit Paris this holiday time
+may be induced to examine them, and make a note of the _earliest_
+edition in which the latter form of the prediction occurs.

+52. _Quaker Expurgated Bible._--In an extremely curious and interesting
+volume entitled _Quakerism, or the Story of my Life_, I meet with the
+following passage, p. 386.:
+
+  "About four years ago, an English Friend waited on me, to request
+  me to enter my name as a subscriber to an edition of the Bible,
+  which a Committee of Friends were intending to publish. The
+  printed prospectus stated that the work was designed to be one
+  suited for daily perusal in Friends' families; that from it would
+  be carefully excluded every passage that was indelicate, and unfit
+  for reading aloud; and also those portions which might be called
+  dangerous, which it was possible the unlearned and unstable might
+  wrest to their own destruction."

+53. _Salmon Fishery in the Thames._--This was once of great importance
+to the inhabitants of the villages upon the banks of the Thames, who
+appear to have had each their assigned bounds for their fishery. In the
+Churchwardens' Book of Wandsworth, under date 1580, is the following
+entry:
+
+  "M.D. that this yere in so[=m]er the fishinge Rome of Wandesworthe
+  was by certen of Putney denyed, and long sute before my L. Mayor
+  of London continued, and at the last, accordinge to Right,
+  restored by the Lord Mayor and the Councell of London. And in this
+  so[=m]er the fysshers of Wandesworthe tooke betweene Monday and
+  Saturday seven score salmons in the same fishinge, to the gret
+  honor of God."
+
+I have heard my mother say, that Thames salmon was plentiful when she
+was a younger woman, and that it was the most esteemed of any. She died
+recently, aged eighty-nine.

+Minor Queries Answered.
+
+_The Twentieth of the Thirty-nine Articles._--In a note to a work
+entitled _Sketches of the History of Man_, Dublin, 1779, at vol. i. p.
+104. I observe the following statement:
+
+  "In the Act 13th of Elizabeth, anno 1571, confirming the
+  Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England, these Articles are
+  not engrossed, but referred to as comprised in a printed book,
+  intitled 'Articles agreed to by the whole Clergy in Convocation
+  holden at London, 1562.' The forged clause is, 'The Church has
+  power to decree Rites and Ceremonies, and authority in
+  Controversies of Faith.' That clause is not in the Articles
+  referred to; nor the slightest hint of any authority with respect
+  to matters of faith. In the same year, 1571, the Articles were
+  printed both in Latin and English, precisely as in the year 1562.
+  But soon after came out spurious editions, in which the said
+  clause was foisted into the Twentieth Article, and continues so to
+  this day," &c.
+
+This is a grave charge. Is it a true one? I have not at hand the
+authorities by which to examine it, and therefore seek an answer from
+some of your readers who may be able to give it. My question refers to
+the imputation of a clause having been foisted into our Articles of
+Faith by a forgery, and still continuing in them; not to the truth of
+any part of our Articles as they now stand. To this there is sufficient
+testimony.

+  "He (Laud) was accused of forging the contested clause in Art. XX.
+  And after appealing to four printed copies of the Articles, one of
+  them as early as 1563, and all containing the passage which the
+  Puritans disliked, he added, 'I shall make it yet plainer: for it
+  is not fit concerning an Article of Religion, and an Article of
+  such consequence for the order, truth, and peace of the Church,
+  you should rely upon my copies, be they never so many or never so
+  ancient. Therefore I sent _to the public records in my office, and
+  here under my officer's hand, who is public notary, is returned to
+  me the Twentieth Article with this affirmative clause in it, and

+
+_Meaning of "Deal."_--I shall feel greatly obliged to any of the readers
+of your entertaining and instructive miscellany, if they can explain the

+is the verbal rendering of the Hebrew, the Septuagint, and the Vulgate.
+It was introduced by Coverdale and Tyndale, and is, I believe, in all
+our English translations except the Puritan or Genevan, which has "a
+tenth part;" and Mr John Ray of Glasgow, in his revised translation, who
+renders the word "the tenth of an ephah." Is this use of the word _deal_
+noticed in any dictionary?

+  [The word "_deal_" in the passage referred to by our correspondent

+  "_theil_." It is from the A-S.; and Chaucer uses the phrases

+  bit." In the _Vision of Piers Ploughman_ we have a nearly parallel
+  phrase to that used in our Bibles:

+_La Mer des Histoires._--Who is the author of _La Mer des Histoires_? I
+have seen the first volume in large folio; the type and paper are
+beautiful, the capital letters very fine. It is stated in the preface to
+be a translation from the Latin of _Rudimentum Noviciorum_, with the
+addition of the French Chronicles, and made at the instance of Andr� de
+la Haye, Seigneur de Chaumot, Paymaster of Sens. It is printed at Paris
+in the month of July, 1448, by Pierre le Rouge. In how many volumes is
+the work comprised? Is it very scarce?
+
+    R. C. H. H.
+
+  [Greswell, in his _Annals of Parisian Typography_, p. 307., says,

+PASSAGE IN VIRGIL.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 24.)
+
+Your correspondent ERYX inquires, in your paper of July 12, whether
+Servius's interpretation of
+
+      "Viridesque secant placido �quore silvas."
+
+      Virg. _�n._ viii. 96.
+
+be correct. I beg to reply that it is not. The interpretations of
+Servius are almost invariably incorrect; Servius was a very illiterate,
+ignorant, and narrow-minded man, and totally unable to understand the
+author whom he attempted to illustrate. His comments on Virgil resemble
+those which we might expect a hedge schoolmaster in Yorkshire now to
+make upon Milton. These comments, which are only valuable on account of
+the mythological traditions which are preserved in them, have been very
+injurious to the right understanding of Virgil.
+
+The meaning of the passage in question is, that the �nead� row up the
+river among the green woods, or (literally) "secant silvas," _travel the
+woods_, "placido �quore," _on the calm surface of the water_, _i. e._ by
+rowing up the placid stream of the river. This, and not that assigned by
+Servius following Terentienus, is the true meaning. 1st. Because
+_secare_ with the objective case means constantly in Virgil to _travel
+along_. Compare "viam secat ad naves," _�n._ vi. 902.; "secuit sub
+nubibus arcum," v. 658., &c. 2ndly. Because the Tiber is described only
+as _placid_, not as _clear_; and as appears from _�n._ vii. 31., was
+actually _very muddy_, "multa flavus arena." The immediately preceding
+words, "variisque teguntur arboribus," have been pronounced by a very
+learned critic (one who has often deserved well of Virgil) to be _idle,
+otiosa_. (See Wagner ad _�n._ i. 678.) And his opinion has been
+sanctioned by the usually judicious Forbiger. But they are not idle; on
+the contrary, they are necessary to convey the idea that the �nead�
+passed up the river _under the shade of the trees_; and so are
+supplemental to the statement contained in the words cited by your
+correspondent, which inform us only that they went up the river. Hence a
+confirmation of the correctness of the received interpretation.
+
+    JAMES HENRY.
+
+  34. Westland Row, Dublin, July 14. 1851.
+
+Your correspondent ERYX wishes to know, whether in the passage (_�neid_,
+viii. 96.)--
+
+      "Viridesque secant placido �quore silvas,"
+
+the word _secant_ can legitimately convey the same idea that is
+expressed in Tennyson's lines--
+
+            ---- "my shallop ... clove
+      The citron shadows in the blue."
+
+There can be little doubt that this well-known passage in the _�neid_ is
+the _original_ of Tennyson's image; that, in fact, it is an excusable
+plagiarism on the part of the latter, who, in introducing, his image,
+has, I think, missed the appropriateness, and therefore increased
+beauty, belonging to it in the original passage of Virgil.
+
+When �neas is journeying up the Tiber to visit Evander, the river, in
+order to lessen his labours--
+
+      "refluens ... substitit unda;"
+
+but notwithstanding this, the journey was arduous as is shown in the
+_whole_ of the three lines 94-96.
+
+      "Olli remigio noctemque diemque fatigant,
+      Et longos superant flexes, variisque teguntur
+      Arboribus, viridesque secant pacido �quore silvas."
+
+That is to say, "They labour at the oar till night is wearied out, and
+day also is obliged to give place in its turn; they master one by one
+the long serpentine bends of the river, and, though covered and inclosed
+by the varied foliage above them, they cut their way through the
+opposing woods, which lie, as it were, in their path in the shadowy
+surface of the clear, still water."
+
+The word _placido_ is surely sufficient to prevent any one falling into
+the common-place interpretation alluded to by your correspondent as the
+one "usually given."

+
+THE VINE OF ST. FRANCIS.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 502.)
+
+I feel much obliged for the information afforded by your Dutch
+correspondent. When I sent you my Query on the subject more than a year
+ago, I wrote principally from memory; but as I have now the work in
+question lying beside me as I write, and as it seems to be rarer and
+less known than I had imagined, you will perhaps find place for a more
+minute description of it.
+
+_The Vine of St. Francis_ is a folio volume, containing 418 numbered
+leaves, a "Prologhe" of one leaf (next to the title-page), and a "Tafel
+v[=a] dit boeck" at the end, of five leaves and a half unnumbered.
+
+The title-page contains a full-length picture of the saint, with a
+nimbus round his head, the knotted cord round his waist, and his palms
+extended, displaying the sacred stigmata. Above the picture is the title
+in red and black. I have written in Italics the words printed in red:
+
+  "_Den_ w�ngaert v[=a] _Sinte_ Franciscus _vol_ schoonre
+  _historien_ legenden ende _duechdel�cke_ leer[=e]nghen allen
+  _menschen_ seer prof�tel�ch."
+
+And under the picture "Cum _gratia_ et _privilegio_." On the back of the
+title-page is printed as follows:--
+
+  "Dit is die generael tafel v[=a] dese w�ngaert dwelcke ghdeylt is
+  in drie boecken.
+
+      � Dat eerste boeck inhout
+      Sinte Franciscus grote legende
+      Sinte Franciscus oude legende
+      Den aflaet van portiunkel
+      Sinte Franciscus souter.
+
+      � Dat ander boeck inhoude
+      De leg[=e]de v[=a] de .v. marte mind-brod's
+      De leg[=e]de v[=a] de seu[=e] mar. ooc mind'b.
+      Sinte bonauentura legende
+      Sinte lodew�c biscop legende
+      Sinte anthonis v[=a] paduen legende
+      Sinte bernard�ns legende
+      Sinte clara legende
+      Sinte puo priesters legende
+      Sinte lodew�c coninex legende
+      Sinte elzearius graue legende
+      Sinte elizabets legende.
+
+      � Dat derde boec inhout
+      Een tractaet v[=a] S. Franciscus oorden
+      Sinte Franciscus geselle leuen
+      Die geleerde e[=n] edele v[=a] S. Fr[=a]ciscus oorden
+      Dat getal der broeder[=e] e[=n] prouintien
+      De aflaet v[=a] rom[=e] mitt[=e] aflaet des oord[=e]s
+      De kal[=e]dier mitt[=e] feest[=e] des aflaets."
+
+Under these tables of contents occur two stanzas, the first containing
+five lines, the second containing seven lines. They commence:--
+
+      "� O salige w�ngaert seer diep gheplant
+      Groyende in duechden van vruchten playsant," &c.
+
+The preface to the _Grote Legende_ informs us that it is Saint
+Bonaventura's life of Saint Francis, and mentions why it is called the
+_Great Legend_. This life ends at folio 47.
+
+The preface to the _Oude Legende_, which next follows, states that it is
+"gathered from the writings of his companions and the chronicles of the
+order of the Brothers Minor;" and the "Prologhe" (which succeeds the
+preface) mentions--
+
+  "Die leg[=e]de van z�n drie gesellen den spiegel der
+  volcom[=e]heyts der minderbroeders. Broeder Thomas oude legends
+  e[=n] d[=e] boeck der ghel�cheden daer seer schoon besereu[=e] is.
+  Hoe ghel�ck dat dese heylighe man Franciscus: Christo Jhesu."
+
+These lives, I suppose, are--that joint narrative compiled by three
+intimate associates of the Saint, "z�n drie gesellen," that composed by
+Thomas of Celano; and the _Liber Conformitatum_.
+
+The 39th chap. of this _Oude Legende_, folio ciii., relates, as the
+preface says--
+
+  "� Hoe dat S. F. woude reysen in verre l[=a]den om dat vole te
+  bekeren e[=n] te vermaenen e[=n] v[=a] die grote tribulacie die hi
+  leet int solda[=e]s lant e[=n] hoe hi gerne martelaer hadde
+  geworden e[=n] hoe die broeders te Antiochien s�n oord[=e]
+  a[=e]naemen."
+
+On which Jewish-converting martyrdom-seeking journey Dr. Geddes (in his
+curious little work on the _Romish Orders of Monks and Friars_, Lond.
+1714) quaintly remarks:
+
+  "A Quaker's having gone from England to Rome to convert the pope
+  to his religion, is a mighty jest with some people, who are very
+  much edified with this story of Francis's going from Italy to
+  Egypt to convert the sultan, but these two adventures do to me
+  appear to be so much alike that I shall leave it to anatomists to
+  tell whether good wits that prompt others, have not their brains
+  either made of the same size, or much in the same posture."
+
+The _Oude Legende_ ends folio 44. Next follows:
+
+  "� Die historie van d[=e] aflaet van Sinte Maria van d[=e]
+  enghelen diem[=e] porti[=u]kel heet,"
+
+as the preface hath it. Some of your readers may have seen an
+advertisement respecting a series of Franciscan works (to be published,
+I think, by Richardson of Derby), entitled the _Portioncule Library_;
+and seeing in the above table of contents "Die aflaet van Portiunkel,"
+or the Indulgence of the _Portiunkel_, they may be at a loss to know its
+meaning, so I shall quote a note from Mrs. Jameson's highly interesting
+and valuable work on the _Monastic Orders_, which is to the purpose:
+
+  "The term Porzioncula means literally 'a small portion, share, or
+  allotment.' The name was given to a slip of land, of a few acres
+  in extent, at the foot of the hill of Assisi, and on which stood a
+  little chapel; both belonged to a community of Benedictines, who
+  afterwards bestowed the land and the chapel on the brotherhood of
+  S. Francis. This chapel was then familiarly known as the 'Capella
+  della Porzioncula.' Whether the title by which it has since become
+  famous as the S. Maria-degli-Angeli belonged to it originally, or
+  because the angels were heard singing around and above it at the
+  time of the birth of St. Francis, does not seem clear. At all
+  events this chapel became early sanctified as the scene of the
+  ecstasies and visions of the saint; here also S. Clara made her
+  profession. Particular indulgences were granted to those who
+  visited it for confession and repentance on the fifth of August
+  and it became a celebrated place of pilgrimage in the fourteenth
+  century. Mr. Ford tells us, that in Spain the term _Porzioncula_
+  is applied generally to distinguish the chapel or sanctuary
+  dedicated to St. Francis within the Franciscan churches. The
+  original chapel of the Porzioncula now stands in the centre of the
+  magnificent church which has been erected over it."
+
+In the "Legende" of St. Anthony of Padua, chap. vii. fol. ccxx., we have
+that saint's "sermo ad pisces" in the city of Rimini, _die vol ketters
+was_, and the conversion therefrom of the said _ketters_ or heretics.
+
+The "Prologhe" to the narrative "van die v�f Martelaren," fol.
+clxxviii., commences, "Ego quasi Vitis fructificavi suavitatem odoris
+alo cen[=e] w�ngaert," &c.: here we learn why the work is called _Den
+W�ngaert_, or _The Vine_.
+
+In the "tractat v[=a] S. F. orden e[=n] reghele," at fol. cccxxix., we
+have an account of Brother Agnellus of Pisa his mission to England in
+1224.
+
+In the "Getal der broeder[=e] e[=n] prouintien," at fol. cccci., we
+learn that at that time (1518) England had 7 convents and 200 friars;
+Ireland 15 convents and 400 friars; and Scotland 8 convents and 120
+friars.
+
+The "Kalendier" which follows this "Getal" is printed in red and black.
+
+"Den aflaet v[=a] rom[=e]" is the last tract in the book. Here is the
+finis:
+
+  "� Hier eyndt b� de gratie gods dat derde boec v[=a] desen
+  w�ngaert die mit groten arbeyt wt veel duct[=e]tel�cke scrift[=e]
+  wten lat�ne vergadert e[=n] nu eerst translateert is, ter eer[=e]
+  des heylighe confessors Sinte Franciscus e[=n] ten prof�te v[=a]
+  allen gueden kenten menschen.
+
+  "� Hier na volcht di tafele."
+
+After the "tafel" or index occur some verses containing seventy-three
+lines, eulogistic of the saint.
+
+I forgot to mention that in the _Oude Legende_ some of St. Francis's
+poems are given, translated from the Italian originals: at fol. cxxii.
+is given the "Canticum solis," part of which Sir James Stephen quotes in
+his sketch of the saint's life.
+
+I have Query to make, but must defer it to another time, as I have
+already taken up enough of your paper.

+
+An extraordinary mode of swearing, akin to the oaths already noticed,
+is recorded by Ysbrant Ides in his _Travels from Moscow to China_
+(London, 1705, and reprinted in the second volume of Harris's
+Collection):--
+
+  "Two Tunguzian hostages falling out, one accused the other before
+  the Waywode (or Viceroy) of having conjured his deceased brother
+  to death. The Waywode asked the accuser if he would, according to
+  the Tunguzian custom, put the accused to his oath? To this he
+  answered in the affirmative; after which the accused took a _live
+  dog_, laid him on the ground, and with a knife stuck him into the
+  body, just under his left foot, and immediately clapped his mouth
+  to the wound, and sucked out the dog's blood as long as he could
+  come at it; after which he lift him up, laid him on his shoulders,
+  and clapped his mouth again to the wound in order to suck out the
+  remaining blood. An excellent drink indeed! And this is the
+  greatest oath and most solemn confirmation of the Truth amongst
+  them; so that on credit of this the accused was set free, and the
+  accuser punished for his false accusation."
+
+The dog, designed, as Cicero observes, for man's use, was doubtless
+selected for his sagacity and faithfulness; and by Loccenius, in his
+_Leges W. Gothic�_, "tria canum capita" are stated to have been
+"Hunnorum gentis insignia," the progenitors of the Tunguzians, p. 107.
+In Northern Europe "sanguine Deos placari creditum; canibus etiam cum
+hominibus permist� in luco suspensis." (_Ibid._ p. 105.)
+
+Among the northern nations, not only their testimoniary oaths were thus
+sanctioned by blood, but their confederative also, in which their
+fraternisation was symbolised by reciprocal transfusion of blood.
+
+      "Dear as the blood that warms my heart."
+
+      Gray's _Bard_.
+
+It was the custom of the Scythians "non dextras tantum implicare, sed
+pollices mutuo vincire, nodoque perstringere; mox sanguine in artus
+extremos se effundente levi ritu _cruorem elicere_, atque invicem
+lambere." (Hanseanius _De Jurejurando Verterum_.) Quintus Curtius
+remarks that among the Hindoos (between whom and the Scythians Sir W.
+Jones and other ethnographers have observed various traces of affinity)
+the joining of right hands was their usual mode of salutation; "dextra
+fidei sedes."
+
+En passant, I have elsewhere seen the opinion quoted by a correspondent
+(Vol. ii., p. 464), "Sedem anim� in digitis ponunt," attributed to the
+Hindoos. Query, Has not the profession of [Greek: thel�tai] (see Dr.
+Maitland on _Mesmerism_) prevailed among them? Their propensity to
+conjuring is so proverbial, that, according to a writer in the _Asiatic
+Researches_, that term is derived from one of their tribes. See also on
+their witchcrafts, Acosta's _East and West Indies_, chap. xxvi.
+
+Before I dismiss the subject of swearing, permit me to observe what
+appears to me to be the origin of the apothegm "Fiat Justitia, ruat
+Coelum" (Vol. ii., p. 494.), which, with a slight change, was afterwards
+adopted by Ferdinand, emperor of Austria.
+
+May it not have originated in an oath similar to that of Chaganus, king
+of the Huns, recorded by Otrokoesi, in his _Histori� Hungaric�_?--
+
+  "Abarico ritu jusjurandum ad hunc modum pr�stitit. Ense edueto et
+  in altum sublato sibi et Abaricorum genti dira imprecatus _si quid
+  mali_, &c. _Coelum_ ex alto ipsis et Deus Ignis qui in coelo est,
+  _irrueret_."
+
+More sententiously he may have said: "Fiat [a me] justitia, [in me] ruat
+Coelum, [si non]."
+
+On the inviolability of oaths among the heathens, in addition to the
+works referred to in Vol. iii., p. 192., see _Gentleman's Magazine_,
+vol. i. p. 415.; on the singular notion, in the fourteenth century, of
+the harmlessness of colloquial and affirmative oaths, see _Arch�ologia_,
+vol. xx. p. 43.; and on the opposition made by the Lollards to this

+
+HUGH HOLLAND AND HIS WORKS.
+
+(Vol. iii. p. 427.; Vol. iv., p. 62.)
+
+The querist on Hugh Holland and his works, must be content with a reply
+of unvarnished brevity.
+
+1. "Where are these lines taken from, and what do they mean?"--The lines
+are from the _Cypress garland_ of Hugh Holland, 1625. 4to. The meaning
+is obvious. I assume that Holland may be trusted as to his own age, to
+which Wood gives no clue.
+
+2. "Who says he did not quit Westminster school till 1589?"--Wood says
+he was bred in Westminster school, and "elected into Trinity coll. in
+Cambridge, an. 1589." Welch, from official documents, gives the same
+date. Wood nowhere states that he "matriculated at Baliol in 1582."
+
+3. "My words are, '_about_ 1590 he succeeded to a fellowship.'"--Wood
+says he was elected to Trinity college in 1589, "of which he was
+_afterwards_ fellow." It may have been some years afterwards.
+
+4. "Why does not MR. CORNEY give your readers his interpretation of the
+mysterious H. H.?"--He reserved it for another occasion, but now
+consents to satisfy the curiosity of the querist and others.
+
+In 1632 Henry Holland dedicated to Charles I. an English version of the
+_Cyrvp�dia_ of Xenophon, made by his father Philemon Holland. In the
+dedication, which is signed at length, he says:
+
+  "Also, when any unworthy selfe (anno 1620) offred mine owne
+  collections, entituled _Herwologia Anglica_, unto his highnesse
+  [James I.], he most graciously received it."
+
+In 1614 appeared, under the initials "H. H.," the _Monvmenta
+sepvlchraria sancti Pavli_, and in the address _ad lectorem_ we read:
+
+  "Et non sol�m nomine bonus appellatus est [sc. Alex. Nowel], sed
+  etiam et in vita sua bonitas apparuit, et in morte bona sua opera
+  illum sunt sequuta, et uberi�s et fusi�s in _Effigiebus_ nostris
+  et _vitis illustrium Anglorum_ cum de Coleto tum de illo apparet:
+  (qu� nunc transmarino habitu vestiend� sunt) quare hic illum
+  pluribus prosequi verbis non est opus."
+
+Here is unanswerable evidence that Henry Holland was the compiler of
+both works. In the catalogue of the Grenville collection of books, now
+in the British Museum, both works are ascribed to Hugh Holland.
+
+5. "The edition of 1614 was certainly the first, and that of 1633
+_certainly_ the second."--The querist adopts my correction of his
+threefold error, and calls it an _answer_!
+
+6. "I shall therefore leave the shade of Cole and MR. BOLTON CORNEY to
+settle the question as to whether any such work exists."--The querist
+did not perceive that the _Roxana of Alexander_ was an error for the
+_Roxana of Alabaster_--so he endeavours to draw off the attention of his
+readers from this proof of critical obtuseness by a common-place
+witticism.
+
+I must describe the facile process by which our querist has obtained his
+apparent triumph. Wood, at the close of his article on Hugh Holland the
+poet, which is chiefly derived from the _Worthies_ of Fuller, mentions
+one Hugh Holland as admitted B.A. in 1570, and another Hugh Holland as
+matriculated at Baliol college in 1582, aged twenty-four; with others of
+that surname. He adds, "but whether any of them were authors, I cannot
+yet tell, or _whether the last was the same with the poet_. Qu." Now,
+with regard to the first and second articles, our querist omits the
+sentence which proves the inapplicability of his quotations! and with
+regard to the third article, he omits the word _afterwards_, which forms
+the gist of the argument.

+
+LADY FLORA HASTINGS' BEQUEST.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 44.)
+
+"Assertion is not proof," and it surely does require _proof_ ere we
+consent to brand a writer of unimpeached character with the charge of "a
+shameless, heartless act of literary piracy."
+
+It rests with ERZA to bring forward his or her _proof_ that the lines in
+dispute were written by Lady Flora. ERZA asserted that they were "never
+before printed." I have enabled him or her to satisfy himself or herself
+that they were in print _nearly_ twelve years ago. I am disposed to
+believe ERZA equally mistaken in the assertion as to the authorship of
+the lines. If this prove so, the imputation cast upon Miss Barber will
+revert upon her accuser, and will demand the most ample apology.
+
+I do not know Miss Barber; her writings I have long admired; and having
+been the means of drawing down upon her such an accusation, I am not
+disposed to let the inquiry terminate here. Nor can I believe the Editor
+of "NOTES AND QUERIES" will desire that either a literary error or a
+groundless slander should descend to posterity in his pages.
+
+    L. H. K.
+
+ERZA cannot entertain a higher respect than I do for the memory of Lady
+Flora Hastings; but I am sure no member of her family would countenance
+any attempt to exalt her reputation at the expense of another's; and I
+fear ERZA, however unintentionally, has fallen into this error. The
+stanzas she attributed to Lady Flora, as L. H. K. stated (Vol. iii., p.
+522.), were published as Miss M. A. S. Barber's in _The Christian Lady's
+Magazine_ for September, 1839, only two months after Lady Flora's death.
+In the preceding number, as L. H. K. also correctly stated, is a brief
+memoir of Lady Flora, in which it is said, that shortly before her death
+she "delivered to her fond brother a little Bible, the gift of her
+mother, requesting him to restore it to that beloved parent," &c. ERZA
+may be unacquainted with that publication, but I can assure her that
+Lady Flora's brother, my esteemed and lamented patron, was not; for
+shortly after the number appeared, I found it lying on his table, in his
+own private room at Donington Park, and, while waiting to see him,
+partly read it there myself for the first time. I know not whether he
+ever read the lines in question in the succeeding number, but I know the
+_Magazine_ was regularly taken by some of Lady Flora's intimate friends,
+and I cannot suppose they would allow any poem of hers to pass unnoticed
+for twelve years, with the signature of Miss Barber attached to it.
+Indeed the stanzas bear internal evidence of being written after Lady
+Flora's death, and founded on the account given by _Charlotte Elizabeth_
+in the preceding number. If, however, ERZA still persists in attributing
+them to Lady Flora Hastings, she is in duty bound to give her authority,
+and not bring such a heavy accusation against Miss Barber on the bare
+assertion of an anonymous correspondent. If Miss Barber really composed
+the stanzas, as I believe she did, she was doubtless actuated with a
+desire to honour the memory and character of Lady Flora; and in such
+case nothing could be more cruel and unjust than the conduct imputed to
+her by ERZA. Unfortunately I do not know Miss Barber's address, or
+whether she is still living; but if any of your readers do, I hope they
+will name this case to her, or her friends, that her reputation may be
+cleared from the imputation thus rashly cast on it. If the case cannot
+thus be satisfactorily settled, I will obtain the desired information
+from another quarter; but I hope ERZA will also offer the assistance in
+her power towards this desirable object; and to set the example of
+candour and openness, I will subscribe my real name.

+_Coke and Cowper_ (Vol. iv., p. 24.).--In reply to one of your
+correspondents, who inquires as to the correct pronunciation of the name
+of the poet _Cowper_, I may mention, that some years ago, being on a
+visit in the neighbourhood of Weston Underwood, I made particular
+inquiries on this point in the village, and found that _there_ the poet
+had always been known as Mr. C_oo_per. The name of the noble family to
+which he was related will be the best criterion.
+
+By the way, was there not sometime since a proposal for erecting by
+subscription a worthy monument to a poet whose memory every Christian
+must revere? In whose hands was this project, and with whom does its
+execution rest?
+
+    THOS. MCCALMONT.
+
+  Highfield, near Southampton, July 22. 1851.
+
+In my humble opinion, Coke is the old English form of writing _cook_,
+from A.-Sax. "c�c." See Chaucer's _Coke's Tale_, and _Cock Lorrell's
+Bote_, where we read "Drouers, Cokes, and pulters;" and in this same
+poem occurs the line, "Carpenters, _coupers_, and ioyners." See also
+under Cooper in Pegge's _Anecdotes of the English Language_; the names,
+as thus pronounced, are rendered significant.
+
+Should it be asked how we ought to pronounce the name of another poet,
+viz. Cowley, if Cowper be called Cooper, I answer that they are from
+different roots: that Cowley is from _cow_, and _ley_, signifying cow
+pasture, or place for cows; and that Cowper is only another form of
+Cooper: not but that in the north they pronounce _cow_ as _coo_, and,
+therefore, they would call him Cooley.

+eldest son of William Penn (the founder), was married, and also to whom
+the children of said son were married, as well as those of his daughter
+Letitia (Mrs. Aubrey), if she had any?" William Penn (the son) married
+Mary Jones, by whom he had three children, William, Springett (who died
+without issue), and Gul. Maria. William had _two_ wives, Christiana
+Forbes, and Ann Vaux. By Miss Forbes he had a daughter, married to Peter
+Gaskell, Esq.; and by Miss Vaux a son, Springett, who died without
+issue. Mrs. Aubrey (Letitia Penn) had no children.

+_Miss or Mistress_ (Vol. iv., p. 6.).--The indiscriminate use of "Miss"
+and "Mrs." to unmarried ladies is often very perplexing. The "Mrs." was
+not, as M. S. supposes, always accompanied by the Christian name for
+unmarried ladies; and the custom lasted at least as late as the reign of
+George II. Pope in his letters (about 1719) mentions "Mrs. Lepel" and
+"Mrs. Bellenden," maids of honour. The examples are innumerable, but the
+_latest_ instance I remember is the Duchess of Queensbury addressing
+Patty Blount in 1756 as "Mrs. Blount;" though, no doubt, Patty was, by
+_that time_, entitled to what is called _brevet_ rank.

+_Book Plates_ (Vol. iii., p. 495.; Vol. iv., p. 46.).--MR. PARSONS, I
+observe, confines his inquiry to English book plates. On that point I
+cannot at present offer him any information but I can to a certain
+extent confirm his views with regard to the use of them in foreign
+countries, having now before me the plate (a woodcut) of Erhardus �
+Muckhenthall--probably in modern German, Erhardt von Muckenthal--dated
+1634. It consists of his armorial bearings, surmounted by a helmet, &c.,
+apparently indicative of nobility; but the tinctures not being
+expressed, I cannot give the blazon. The charge on his shield seems to
+be intended for a lamb salient.

+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://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
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was 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:
+
+     https://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.

+<h3><span>PROVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY.</span></h3>
+
+<p>The following "sententious truths" are extracted from Bishop Jewel's
+grand performance, <i>A Defense of the Apologie of the Churche of
+Englande</i>, fol. 1571, a work as remarkable for "the pomp and charms" of
+its eloquence, as for the profound erudition, and the consummate
+ability, with which its "good doctrine" is exhibited and enforced. In
+common, however, with the other productions of this illustrious champion
+of the Reformation, it has an additional and most attractive feature;
+one, indeed, which, less or more, characterises all the literary
+achievements of the gigantic geniuses of the Elizabethan period, the
+"very dust of whose writings is gold."<a id="gold1"></a><a title="Go to footnote 1." href="#fn1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a>
+ The "Defense" abounds with
+<i>proverbial folk-lore</i> of the rarest sort; and this is so skilfully and
+appositely introduced, that the subject-matter presents itself to the
+reader's mind rather as a corollary, naturally deduced from a
+self-evident proposition&mdash;for who would think for a moment of
+questioning the truth of what has the semblance of a popular
+adage?<a id="adag2"></a><a title="Go to footnote 2." href="#fn2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a>&mdash;than
+ as a nicely managed argument, which receives no other
+help from the latter than that of illustration, employed for the simple
+and single purpose, not of strengthening such argument, but of rendering
+it comprehensible by the "meanest capacities."</p>

+<p class="footnote"><a id="fn2"></a><a title="Return to text." href="#adag2" class="label">[2]</a>
+ I have somewhere met with an amusing instance of this. It
+seems that Dean Swift, with a party of friends, were invited to view the
+garden of a gentleman, the walls of which were laden with peaches of a
+most tempting ripeness, but which they were strictly forbidden to touch.
+This injunction was followed, until Swift ('twas like him) at length put
+forth his hand and plucked, at the same time observing, with all
+becoming gravity, "As my deeply venerated grandmother used to say,</p>
+
+<div class="poem">
+    <p class="i5">  'Never fail to pluck a peach,</p>
+   <p class="i5">  Whene'er you find one in your reach.'"</p>
+</div>
+
+<p class="footnote">'Twas enough. The authority of the adage was sufficient to overrule
+every other obligation; and the rest of the company, much to the disgust
+of the master of the garden, immediately proceeded, with infinite gusto,
+to follow the Dean's example, not for a moment doubting the propriety of
+the act. "The court awards it, and the law doth give it."</p>
+
+<p>With this little bit of criticism, let me take the liberty of
+recommending to such of your readers, and I trust they are many, who
+seek for knowledge and wisdom in the richly-stored tomes, especially of
+the divines, whose appearance imparted a further glory to the days of
+our "good queen Bess," to note down the "wise saws and modern instances"
+which lie scattered along their glowing periods, like "dew-drops on the
+flow'ry lawn," for the purpose of transferring them to your very
+appropriate pages.<a id="very82"></a>

+
+<p>The remark of our old lexicographer, Florio<a id="lexi3"></a><a title="Go to footnote 3." href="#fn3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a>,
+ that "daily both new
+words are invented, and books still found that make a new supply of
+old," may, in its latter part, very fitly be applied to our proverbial
+philosophy; for, great as is the light which has already been thrown
+upon the subject, it must be admitted that a more <i>systematic</i>
+examination than they have yet received, of the works of the Elizabethan
+writers, would elucidate it to an extent that can scarcely be
+appreciated.</p>

+
+<p>With these observations I offer you my little string of pearls, under
+the hope that row after row may be added to it.</p>
+
+<ul class="blockquot">

+</ul>
+
+<p>It is as well to remark that the above aphorisms are contained within
+the first 365 pages of the "Defense." Their orthography and punctuation
+have been carefully preserved, as they ought always to be in such like
+cases. Some of them I have not elsewhere met with, and others present
+<i>vari� lectiones</i> of an interesting character. They are all delivered in
+a quaint simplicity of style, which admirably illustrates the general
+tone of thought and language of the period.</p>

+<h3><span>PARAPHRASE ON THE 137TH PSALM BY CHURCHILL.</span></h3>
+
+<p>A paraphrase of the 137th psalm by Charles Churchill may, perhaps, be
+deemed not unworthy of a place amongst your Notes. It was originally
+sent to Mrs. Baily of Cadbury, who had remonstrated with him on his
+devoting his pen exclusively to satire. That lady gave them to my
+maternal grandfather. Three lines of the last verse are lost.</p>

+
+<p>It seems to me that the noble poet has condescended to avail himself of
+a little <i>ruse</i> in referring to this passage of Ovid. It would have been
+perhaps more honest to have referred his readers to those magnificent
+lines in the opening address to Venus, by Lucretius, "De Rerum Natur�,"

+<h2><span class="bla">Queries.</span></h2>
+
+
+<h3><span>JOHN A KENT AND JOHN A CUMBER.</span></h3>
+
+<p>I am much obliged to you, Mr. Editor, for giving additional circulation
+to my inquiry (through the medium of the <i>Athen�um</i> of the 19th ult.)
+regarding the two ancient popular wizards, John a Kent and John a
+Cumber. I was aware, from a note received some time ago from my friend
+the Rev. John Webb of Tretire, that there are various current traditions
+in Monmouthshire, and that Coxe's history of that county contains some
+information regarding one of these worthies. That fact has since been
+repeated to me by a gentleman of Newport, who wrote in consequence of
+what appeared in the <i>Athen�um</i>, and whose name I do not know that I am
+at liberty to mention. I may, however, take this opportunity of thanking
+him, as well as the transmitter of the curious particulars printed in
+the <i>Athen�um</i> of Saturday last.</p>
+
+<p>One point I wish to ascertain is, whence John a Kent derived his
+appellation? This question has not been at all answered. Has his name
+any connexion, and what, with the village of Kentchurch, in
+Monmouthshire; and why was the place called Kentchurch? To what saint is
+the church dedicated? and has the name of that church anything to do
+with the name of the saint? Anthony Munday (or Mundy), in his MS. play
+(now in my hands by the favour of the Hon. Mr. Mostyn, and by the kind
+interposition of Sir F. Madden), does<a id="Sir84"></a>
+ <span  class="pagenum">[84]</span> not give the slightest
+clue to the "birth, parentage, and education" of John a Kent. As to John
+a Cumber, all we learn is, that he was a Scottish conjuror, employed by
+a nobleman of the same country to counteract the proceedings of John a
+Kent, who is represented as in the service of Sir Gosselin Denville, a
+person who appears, from what Munday says, to have had power and
+influence in South Wales.</p>
+
+<p>Now, the name of Sir Gosselin Denville itself suggests a Query; because
+I find in Johnson's <i>Lives of Highwayman, &amp;c.,</i> fol. 1734, p. 15. (I do
+not of course refer to it as a book of any authority), that there was a
+celebrated collector of tribute from travellers who bore that name and
+rank. He, however, came from Yorkshire, and lived (according to the
+narrative of Johnson, who had it most likely from Capt. A. Smith, whose
+work I have not at hand) as long ago as the reign of Edward II. Let me
+ask, therefore, whether there exist any tidings respecting such a person
+as a native of Wales, and as the "master" (I use Munday's word) of John
+a Kent?</p>
+
+<p>But this is not the principal object of my present communication, which
+relates to one of the heroines of Munday's drama&mdash;a daughter of
+Llewellin, Prince of North Wales. To her the name of Sidanen is given,
+and she is constantly spoken of as "the fair Sidanen," with the
+additional information, in one place, that "sonnets" had been written in
+her praise. Every person who sends a Query must plead ignorance, and
+mine may be great as regards Welsh poetry, when I inquire, who was
+Sidanen, and where has she been celebrated? By the second volume of
+<i>Extracts from the Registers of the Stationers' Company</i> (printed for
+the Shakspeare Society), it is evident that she was well known about the
+middle of the reign of Elizabeth, for on p. 94. I read the following
+entry:&mdash;</p>
+
+   <p class="blockquot">"xiii Augusti [1580]</p>
+
+   <p class="blockquot">"Rich. Jones. Rd. of him for printinge a ballat of brittishe

+<h3><span>SWEARING ON THE HORNS AT HIGHGATE.</span></h3>
+
+<p>Can any of your readers give a satisfactory explanation of what Lord
+Byron, in the <span class="smcap lowercase">LXX</span>th stanza of the first canto of <i>Childe Harold's
+Pilgrimage</i>, calls the <i>worship of the solemn horn</i>? The whole stanza is
+as follows:</p>
+
+<div class="poem">
+        <p> "Some o'er thy Thamis row the ribbon'd fair,</p>
+        <p>Others along the safer turnpike fly;</p>
+        <p> Some Richmond Hill ascend, some send to Ware,</p>
+        <p>And many to the steep of Highgate hie.</p>
+        <p> Ask ye, B&oelig;otian shades! the reason why? <span class="topnum">(15)</span></p>
+        <p> 'Tis to the worship of the solemn Horn,</p>
+        <p>Grasp'd in the holy hand of mystery,</p>
+        <p> In whose dread name both men and maids are sworn,</p>
+        <p>And consecrate the oath with draught and dance till morn!"</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>And the note <span class="topnum">(15)</span> merely refers to the poet's writing from Thebes, the
+capital of B&oelig;otia.</p>
+
+<p>I have a faint recollection of a circumstance which occurred on a
+journey from York to town some forty years ago, and which I almost fancy
+may throw some distant light on Lord B.'s horn. Among the inside
+passengers by the stage was a middle-aged Yorkshireman, apparently a
+small farmer, who kept the rest in a continual titter with his account
+of various personal adventures, which he related in a style of quaint
+and ludicrous simplicity; and as, in the course of conversation, it
+appeared that he had never visited the metropolis before, it was
+suggested by a couple of wags, that on the arrival of the coach at
+Highgate he should be invited "to make himself free of the Horns."
+Accordingly, when in due time the vehicle halted at the above-mentioned
+place, and the inside passengers, with the exception of York, had
+quitted it, an ostler, having received his cue, appeared at the door
+with a pole, to which we attached a pair of gilded ram's horns; and
+inquired if the "genelman" from Yorkshire, who was on his first visit to
+London, wished to obtain his freedom by swearing on the horns, or would
+rather forego the ceremony by a payment of the customary fee. The
+Yorkshireman was evidently taken aback by the unexpected question; but,
+after a moment's hesitation, intimated that he preferred the horns to
+forking out the cash. He was thereupon directed with mock solemnity to
+place his right hand upon the horns, and to follow the<a id="horns85"></a>
+ <span  class="pagenum">[85]</span>
+ostler in reciting a ridiculous formula; which, if I remember right,
+consisted in his vowing, under certain penalties, to prefer wine to
+water, roast beef and ale to a dry crust and water gruel, the daughter
+to the mother, the sister to the brother, laughing to crying, and songs
+and glees to requiems and psalms, &amp;c.</p>
+
+<p>Can you then oblige me with any information respecting the worship of
+the solemn horn alluded to by Lord Byron; and, secondly, with any
+account respecting the solemn farce of swearing in strangers on the
+horns when reaching Highgate on their first visit to the metropolis,
+which farce I presume has long since been exploded by the introduction
+of the railway.</p>
+
+   <p class="right"> K<span class="smcap lowercase">EWENSIS</span>.</p>
+
+   <p class="blockquot">[Moore, in his edition of Byron's <i>Works</i>, has the following note
+   on this passage:&mdash;"Lord Byron alludes to a ridiculous custom
+   which formerly prevailed at the public-houses in Highgate, of
+   administering a burlesque oath to all travellers of the middling
+   rank who stopped there. The party was sworn on a pair of horns,
+   fastened, 'never to kiss the maid when he could kiss the
+   mistress; never to eat brown bread when he could get white; never
+   to drink small beer when he could get strong;' with many other
+   injunctions of the like kind, to all which was added the saving
+   clause, 'unless you like it best.'" Our correspondent,
+   W. S. G<span class="smcap lowercase">IBSON</span>, Esq., in his <i>Prize Essay on the History and Antiquities
+   of Highgate</i>, has preserved some curious notices of this
+   burlesque oath. He says, "All attempts to trace the once
+   prevalent, but now obsolete, custom of 'swearing at Highgate' to
+   any really probable source have proved unavailing, and the custom
+   has fallen into disuse. The early identity of the site of the
+   present hamlet with the ancient forest, and the vicinity of
+   Highgate to a park or chase, naturally suggests the possible
+   connexion of these trophies with huntsmen and their horns; and it
+   is not difficult to perceive that the spoils and emblems of the
+   chase, and the hunter's joyous horn, may in time have acquired
+   the character of household gods, and at length, become like the
+   sword of the warrior, a sacred emblem upon which vows were taken,
+   and the most binding engagements made. It is, however, less
+   difficult to imagine the reality of such an origin, than to
+   account for the strange degeneracy exhibited in the modern aspect
+   of the custom. 'Swearing on the horns' was an observance at all
+   events more than a century old; for a song which embodied a close
+   paraphrase of the oath, according to the best authorised version
+   yet extant, was introduced in a London pantomime at the Haymarket
+   Theatre in the year 1742."]</p>

+<h4><span>49. <i>Queen Brun�haut.</i></span></h4>
+
+<p>&mdash;I read in a French book of travels that the
+abbey of Saint Martin's, at Autun, contained the tomb of Queen
+Brun�haut, upon which was engraved the following inscription:</p>
+
+<div class="poem">
+     <p> "Ci-g�t la Reine Brun�haut,</p>
+      <p>A qui le Saint Pape Gregoire</p>
+     <p> Donna des �loges de gloire,</p>
+    <p>  Qui mettent sa vertu bien haut.</p>
+     <p> Sa pi�t� pour les saints myst�res</p>

+    <p>  Sont trois saints lieux o� l'on conno�t</p>
+      <p>Qu'elle est exempte de reproche."</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>1. Who was the Saint Gregory mentioned in this inscription? I believe
+there can be little doubt that it was Pope Gregory I., commonly known as
+Gregory the Great, and the cotemporary of Queen Brun�haut. The only
+other Pope of that name, that has been canonized, is Gregory VII., the
+famous Hildebrand; but as his canonization did not take place till the
+close of the last century (700 years after his death), an inscription,
+which, from its obsolete rhymes of "Beno�t" and "conno�t," bears
+internal evidence of having been made in the sixteenth or seventeenth
+century, could not have applied to him the epithet <i>Saint</i>.</p>
+
+<p>2. Brun�haut having been one of the most profligate queens that ever sat
+upon a throne, and Gregory the Great one of the most virtuous Popes that
+have shed lustre on the tiara, a second Query presents itself:&mdash;Is it
+possible that such a Pope could have degraded himself and his office by
+eulogising such a queen? The bare idea is at variance with the known
+character of that Pope; and the imputation, if substantiated, would
+materially detract from his established reputation for piety and wisdom.</p>
+
+<p>3. Is there any passage in the writings of Gregory the Great that can be
+cited in support of the allegations of this inscription?</p>

+<h4><span>50. <i>Sculptured Stones in the North of Scotland.</i></span></h4>
+
+<p>&mdash;Some time ago Patrick
+Chalmers, Esq., of Auldbar, in the county of Forfar, obtained drawings
+of all the sculptured stone obelisks in Angus, and got them lithographed
+for the members of the Bannatyne Club. The work has excited considerable
+attention among historical students in this country as well as abroad,
+and certainly has laid a foundation for correct comparison of these with
+other similar remains of a symbolical nature in other parts of the
+country. In Aberdeenshire there is a considerable number of these
+obelisks, which, either from the more primitive state of the people, or
+the hardness of the granite, are much less elaborate than those in
+Angus. None, however, can exceed the obelisks in Easter Ross for beauty
+of execution. It is singular that no monument of this class has been
+found south of the Forth. The Spalding Club (Aberdeen) proposes to
+obtain drawings of all the stones of this description in the North of
+Scotland; and the artist who depicted the Angus stones so accurately and
+well for Mr. Chalmers has commenced his labours. Circulars have been
+sent to the clergy of about 240 parishes in the North, asking for
+information as to the locality of any sculptured stones in their
+districts, but as yet answers have been obtained from only about 150. It
+is probable that where no return has been made, there is no stone of the
+description alluded to; but it would be desirable to know that the
+Spalding Club had exhausted the matter.</p>

+<h4><span>51. <i>Prophecies of Nostradamus.</i></span></h4>
+
+<p>&mdash;In a little work I am meditating on
+the subject of English Popular Prophecies, I shall have occasion to
+introduce a notice of this celebrated astrologer, whose successful
+prediction of the Great Rebellion, and consequent English popularity,
+almost entitle him to a place among our native vaticinating worthies.</p>
+
+<p>The curious prefiguration of the fate of Charles I. stands thus in the
+original edition of the <i>Prophesies</i>: Lyons, 1572, under the head, "A
+mes Imprimeurs de Hongrie:"</p>
+
+<div class="poem">
+   <p>   "Senat de Londres mettront � mal leur Roy."</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>In the only other edition to which I have the opportunity of referring,
+London, 1672, "Translated and commented upon by Theophilus de
+Garencieres," it is much amplified:</p>
+
+<div class="poem">
+    <div class="stanza">
+    <p>"<span class="smcap lowercase">XLIX</span>.</p>
+    </div>
+
+    <div class="stanza"> <p> "Gand et Bruxelles marcheront contra Anvers.</p>

+    <p> Le sel et vin luy seront � l'envers</p>
+    <p> Pour eux avoir le Regne or desseroy."</p></div>
+</div>
+
+<p>The more literal accuracy of this version, and the number of the
+quatrain (interpreted by the commentator to refer to the year of
+Charles's death), induce doubts as to its authenticity. Collections of
+early editions of Nostradamus are not of frequent occurrence in England:
+but I am told that a fine series exists in the "Biblioth�que du Roi,"
+and as the subject is interesting, some one, perhaps, out of the many
+readers of
+ "N<span class="smcap lowercase">OTES AND</span> Q<span class="smcap lowercase">UERIES</span>" who will visit Paris this holiday time

+
+<p>&mdash;In a note to a work
+entitled <i>Sketches of the History of Man</i>, Dublin, 1779, at vol.&nbsp;i. p.&nbsp;104. I observe the following statement:</p>
+
+<p class="blockquot">   "In the Act 13th of Elizabeth, anno 1571, confirming the
+   Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England, these Articles are
+   not engrossed, but referred to as comprised in a printed book,

+   holden at London, 1562.' The forged clause is, 'The Church has
+   power to decree Rites and Ceremonies, and authority in
+   Controversies of Faith.' That clause is not in the Articles
+   referred to; nor the slightest hint of any authority with respect
+   to matters of faith. In the same year, 1571, the Articles were
+   printed both in Latin and English, precisely as in the year 1562.
+   But soon after came out spurious editions, in which the said

+<p>This is a grave charge. Is it a true one? I have not at hand the

+is the verbal rendering of the Hebrew, the Septuagint, and the Vulgate.
+It was introduced by Coverdale and Tyndale, and is, I believe, in all
+our English translations except the Puritan or Genevan, which has "a
+tenth part;" and Mr John Ray of Glasgow, in his revised translation, who
+renders the word "the tenth of an ephah." Is this use of the word <i>deal</i>

+<h3><span>PASSAGE IN VIRGIL.<br />
+(Vol. iv., p. 24.)</span></h3>
+
+<p>Your correspondent E<span class="smcap lowercase">RYX</span> inquires, in your paper of July 12, whether
+Servius's interpretation of</p>
+
+<div class="poem">
+     <p> "Viridesque secant placido �quore silvas."</p>
+   <p class="author"> Virg. <i>�n.</i> viii.&nbsp;96.</p></div>
+
+<p class="noindent">be correct. I beg to reply that it is not. The interpretations of
+Servius are almost invariably incorrect; Servius was a very illiterate,
+ignorant, and narrow-minded man, and totally unable to understand the
+author whom he attempted to illustrate. His comments on Virgil resemble
+those which we might expect a hedge schoolmaster in Yorkshire now to
+make upon Milton. These comments, which are only valuable on account of
+the mythological traditions which are preserved in them, have been very
+injurious to the right understanding of Virgil.</p>
+
+<p>The meaning of the passage in question is, that the �nead� row up the
+river among the green woods, or (literally) "secant silvas," <i>travel the
+woods</i>, "placido �quore," <i>on the calm surface of the water</i>, <i>i. e.</i> by
+rowing up the placid stream of the river. This, and not that assigned by
+Servius following Terentienus, is the true meaning. 1st. Because
+<i>secare</i> with the objective case means constantly in Virgil to <i>travel
+along</i>. Compare "viam secat ad naves," <i>�n.</i> vi.&nbsp;902.; "secuit sub
+nubibus arcum," v.&nbsp;658., &amp;c. 2ndly. Because the Tiber is described only
+as <i>placid</i>, not as <i>clear</i>; and as appears from <i>�n.</i> vii. 31., was
+actually <i>very muddy</i>,<a id="muddy89"></a>
+ <span  class="pagenum">[89]</span> "multa flavus arena." The immediately
+preceding words, "variisque teguntur arboribus," have been pronounced by
+a very learned critic (one who has often deserved well of Virgil) to be
+<i>idle, otiosa</i>. (See Wagner ad <i>�n.</i> i.&nbsp;678.) And his opinion has been
+sanctioned by the usually judicious Forbiger. But they are not idle; on
+the contrary, they are necessary to convey the idea that the �nead�
+passed up the river <i>under the shade of the trees</i>; and so are
+supplemental to the statement contained in the words cited by your
+correspondent, which inform us only that they went up the river. Hence a
+confirmation of the correctness of the received interpretation.</p>

+
+<p>Your correspondent E<span class="smcap lowercase">RYX</span> wishes to know, whether in the passage (<i>�neid</i>,
+viii. 96.)&mdash;</p>
+
+     <div class="poem">
+<p> "Viridesque secant placido �quore silvas,"</p>
+</div>
+
+<p class="noindent">the word <i>secant</i> can legitimately convey the same idea that is
+expressed in Tennyson's lines&mdash;</p>
+
+      <div class="poem">
+  <p class="i5">  &mdash;&mdash; "my shallop ... clove</p>
+     <p> The citron shadows in the blue."</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>There can be little doubt that this well-known passage in the <i>�neid</i> is
+the <i>original</i> of Tennyson's image; that, in fact, it is an excusable
+plagiarism on the part of the latter, who, in introducing, his image,
+has, I think, missed the appropriateness, and therefore increased
+beauty, belonging to it in the original passage of Virgil.</p>
+
+<p>When �neas is journeying up the Tiber to visit Evander, the river, in
+order to lessen his labours&mdash;</p>
+
+    <div class="poem">
+ <p> "refluens ... substitit unda;"</p>
+</div>
+
+<p class="noindent">but notwithstanding this, the journey was arduous as is shown in the
+<i>whole</i> of the three lines 94-96.</p>
+
+     <div class="poem">
+<p> "Olli remigio noctemque diemque fatigant,</p>
+      <p>Et longos superant flexes, variisque teguntur</p>

+
+<p>That is to say, "They labour at the oar till night is wearied out, and
+day also is obliged to give place in its turn; they master one by one
+the long serpentine bends of the river, and, though covered and inclosed
+by the varied foliage above them, they cut their way through the
+opposing woods, which lie, as it were, in their path in the shadowy
+surface of the clear, still water."</p>
+
+<p>The word <i>placido</i> is surely sufficient to prevent any one falling into
+the common-place interpretation alluded to by your correspondent as the
+one "usually given."</p>

+<h3><span>THE VINE OF ST. FRANCIS.<br />
+(Vol. iii., p. 502.)</span></h3>
+
+<p>I feel much obliged for the information afforded by your Dutch
+correspondent. When I sent you my Query on the subject more than a year
+ago, I wrote principally from memory; but as I have now the work in
+question lying beside me as I write, and as it seems to be rarer and
+less known than I had imagined, you will perhaps find place for a more
+minute description of it.</p>
+
+<p><i>The Vine of St. Francis</i> is a folio volume, containing 418 numbered
+leaves, a "Prologhe" of one leaf (next to the title-page), and a "Tafel
+v&#257; dit boeck" at the end, of five leaves and a half unnumbered.</p>
+
+<p>The title-page contains a full-length picture of the saint, with a
+nimbus round his head, the knotted cord round his waist, and his palms
+extended, displaying the sacred stigmata. Above the picture is the title
+in red and black. I have written in Italics the words printed in red:</p>
+
+ <p class="blockquot">  "<i>Den</i> w�ngaert v&#257; <i>Sinte</i> Franciscus <i>vol</i> schoonre
+   <i>historien</i> legenden ende <i>duechdel�cke</i> leer&#275;nghen allen

+
+<p class="noindent">And under the picture "Cum <i>gratia</i> et <i>privilegio</i>." On the back of the
+title-page is printed as follows:&mdash;</p>

+
+<p>The preface to the <i>Grote Legende</i> informs us that it is Saint
+Bonaventura's life of Saint Francis, and mentions why it is called the
+<i>Great Legend</i>. This life ends at folio 47.</p>
+
+<p>The preface to the <i>Oude Legende</i>, which next follows, states that it is
+"gathered from the<a id="from90"></a>
+ <span  class="pagenum">[90]</span> writings of his companions and the chronicles
+of the order of the Brothers Minor;" and the "Prologhe" (which succeeds
+the preface) mentions&mdash;</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot"> "Die leg&#275;de van z�n drie gesellen den spiegel der

+
+<p class="noindent">These lives, I suppose, are&mdash;that joint narrative compiled by three
+intimate associates of the Saint, "z�n drie gesellen," that composed by
+Thomas of Celano; and the <i>Liber Conformitatum</i>.</p>
+
+<p>The 39th chap. of this <i>Oude Legende</i>, folio ciii., relates, as the
+preface says&mdash;</p>
+
+ <p class="blockquot">  "� Hoe dat S. F. woude reysen in verre l&#257;den om dat vole te
+   bekeren en&#772; te vermaenen en&#772; v&#257; die grote tribulacie die
+   hi leet int solda&#275;s lant en&#772; hoe hi gerne martelaer hadde
+   geworden en&#772; hoe die broeders te Antiochien s�n oord&#275;
+   a&#275;naemen."</p>
+
+<p class="noindent">On which Jewish-converting martyrdom-seeking journey Dr. Geddes (in his
+curious little work on the <i>Romish Orders of Monks and Friars</i>, Lond.
+1714) quaintly remarks:</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot"> "A Quaker's having gone from England to Rome to convert the pope
+   to his religion, is a mighty jest with some people, who are very
+   much edified with this story of Francis's going from Italy to
+   Egypt to convert the sultan, but these two adventures do to me
+   appear to be so much alike that I shall leave it to anatomists to
+   tell whether good wits that prompt others, have not their brains
+   either made of the same size, or much in the same posture."</p>
+
+<p>The <i>Oude Legende</i> ends folio 44. Next follows:</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot"> "� Die historie van d&#275; aflaet van Sinte Maria van d&#275;
+   enghelen diem&#275; porti&#363;kel heet,"</p>
+
+<p class="noindent">as the preface hath it. Some of your readers may have seen an
+advertisement respecting a series of Franciscan works (to be published,
+I think, by Richardson of Derby), entitled the <i>Portioncule Library</i>;
+and seeing in the above table of contents "Die aflaet van Portiunkel,"
+or the Indulgence of the <i>Portiunkel</i>, they may be at a loss to know its
+meaning, so I shall quote a note from Mrs. Jameson's highly interesting
+and valuable work on the <i>Monastic Orders</i>, which is to the purpose:</p>
+
+   <p class="blockquot">"The term Porzioncula means literally 'a small portion, share,
+   or allotment.' The name was given to a slip of land, of a few
+   acres in extent, at the foot of the hill of Assisi, and on which
+   stood a little chapel; both belonged to a community of
+   Benedictines, who afterwards bestowed the land and the chapel on
+   the brotherhood of S. Francis. This chapel was then familiarly
+   known as the 'Capella della Porzioncula.' Whether the title by
+   which it has since become famous as the S. Maria-degli-Angeli
+   belonged to it originally, or because the angels were heard
+   singing around and above it at the time of the birth of St.
+   Francis, does not seem clear. At all events this chapel became
+   early sanctified as the scene of the ecstasies and visions of the
+   saint; here also S. Clara made her profession. Particular
+   indulgences were granted to those who visited it for confession
+   and repentance on the fifth of August and it became a celebrated
+   place of pilgrimage in the fourteenth century. Mr. Ford tells us,
+   that in Spain the term <i>Porzioncula</i> is applied generally to
+   distinguish the chapel or sanctuary dedicated to St. Francis
+   within the Franciscan churches. The original chapel of the
+   Porzioncula now stands in the centre of the magnificent church
+   which has been erected over it."</p>
+
+<p>In the "Legende" of St. Anthony of Padua, chap. vii. fol. ccxx., we have
+that saint's "sermo ad pisces" in the city of Rimini, <i>die vol ketters
+was</i>, and the conversion therefrom of the said <i>ketters</i> or heretics.</p>
+
+<p>The "Prologhe" to the narrative "van die v�f Martelaren," fol.
+clxxviii., commences, "Ego quasi Vitis fructificavi suavitatem odoris
+alo cen&#275; w�ngaert," &amp;c.: here we learn why the work is called <i>Den
+W�ngaert</i>, or <i>The Vine</i>.</p>
+
+<p>In the "tractat v&#257; S. F. orden en&#772; reghele," at fol. cccxxix., we
+have an account of Brother Agnellus of Pisa his mission to England in
+1224.</p>
+
+<p>In the "Getal der broeder&#275; en&#772; prouintien," at fol. cccci., we
+learn that at that time (1518) England had 7 convents and 200 friars;
+Ireland 15 convents and 400 friars; and Scotland 8 convents and 120
+friars.</p>
+
+<p>The "Kalendier" which follows this "Getal" is printed in red and black.</p>
+
+<p>"Den aflaet v&#257; rom&#275;" is the last tract in the book. Here is the
+finis:</p>
+
+   <p class="blockquot">"� Hier eyndt b� de gratie gods dat derde boec v&#257; desen
+   w�ngaert die mit groten arbeyt wt veel duct&#275;tel�cke scrift&#275;

+   des heylighe confessors Sinte Franciscus en&#772; ten prof�te v&#257;
+   allen gueden kenten menschen.</p>
+
+   <p class="blockquot">  "� Hier na volcht di tafele."</p>
+
+<p>After the "tafel" or index occur some verses containing seventy-three
+lines, eulogistic of the saint.</p>
+
+<p>I forgot to mention that in the <i>Oude Legende</i> some of St. Francis's
+poems are given, translated from the Italian originals: at fol. cxxii.
+is given the "Canticum solis," part of which Sir James Stephen quotes in
+his sketch of the saint's life.</p>
+
+<p>I have a Query to make, but must defer it to another time, as I have

+
+<p>An extraordinary mode of swearing, akin to the oaths already noticed,
+is recorded by Ysbrant Ides in his <i>Travels from Moscow to China</i>
+(London, 1705, and reprinted in the second volume of Harris's
+Collection):&mdash;</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot"> "Two<a id="Two91"></a>
+ <span  class="pagenum">[91]</span> Tunguzian hostages falling out, one accused the other before
+   the Waywode (or Viceroy) of having conjured his deceased brother
+   to death. The Waywode asked the accuser if he would, according to
+   the Tunguzian custom, put the accused to his oath? To this he
+   answered in the affirmative; after which the accused took a <i>live
+   dog</i>, laid him on the ground, and with a knife stuck him into the
+   body, just under his left foot, and immediately clapped his mouth
+   to the wound, and sucked out the dog's blood as long as he could
+   come at it; after which he lift him up, laid him on his
+   shoulders, and clapped his mouth again to the wound in order to
+   suck out the remaining blood. An excellent drink indeed! And this
+   is the greatest oath and most solemn confirmation of the Truth
+   amongst them; so that on credit of this the accused was set free,
+   and the accuser punished for his false accusation."</p>
+
+<p>The dog, designed, as Cicero observes, for man's use, was doubtless
+selected for his sagacity and faithfulness; and by Loccenius, in his
+<i>Leges W. Gothic�</i>, "tria canum capita" are stated to have been
+"Hunnorum gentis insignia," the progenitors of the Tunguzians, p. 107.
+In Northern Europe "sanguine Deos placari creditum; canibus etiam cum
+hominibus permist� in luco suspensis." (<i>Ibid.</i> p. 105.)</p>
+
+<p>Among the northern nations, not only their testimoniary oaths were thus
+sanctioned by blood, but their confederative also, in which their
+fraternisation was symbolised by reciprocal transfusion of blood.</p>
+
+      <div class="poem">
+<p>"Dear as the blood that warms my heart."</p>
+     <p> Gray's <i>Bard</i>.</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>It was the custom of the Scythians "non dextras tantum implicare, sed
+pollices mutuo vincire, nodoque perstringere; mox sanguine in artus
+extremos se effundente levi ritu <i>cruorem elicere</i>, atque invicem
+lambere." (Hanseanius <i>De Jurejurando Verterum</i>.) Quintus Curtius
+remarks that among the Hindoos (between whom and the Scythians Sir W.
+Jones and other ethnographers have observed various traces of affinity)
+the joining of right hands was their usual mode of salutation; "dextra
+fidei sedes."</p>
+
+<p>En passant, I have elsewhere seen the opinion quoted by a correspondent
+(Vol. ii., p. 464), "Sedem anim� in digitis ponunt," attributed to the
+Hindoos. Query, Has not the profession of <ins title="[Greek: thel�tai]">&#952;&#949;&#955;&#951;&#964;&#945;&#953;</ins> (see Dr.
+Maitland on <i>Mesmerism</i>) prevailed among them? Their propensity to
+conjuring is so proverbial, that, according to a writer in the <i>Asiatic
+Researches</i>, that term is derived from one of their tribes. See also on
+their witchcrafts, Acosta's <i>East and West Indies</i>, chap. xxvi.</p>
+
+<p>Before I dismiss the subject of swearing, permit me to observe what
+appears to me to be the origin of the apothegm "Fiat Justitia, ruat
+C&oelig;lum" (Vol. ii., p. 494.), which, with a slight change, was
+afterwards adopted by Ferdinand, emperor of Austria.</p>
+
+<p>May it not have originated in an oath similar to that of Chaganus, king
+of the Huns, recorded by Otrokoesi, in his <i>Histori� Hungaric�</i>?&mdash;</p>
+
+   <p class="blockquot">"Abarico ritu jusjurandum ad hunc modum pr�stitit. Ense edueto et

+<h3><span>HUGH HOLLAND AND HIS WORKS.<br />
+(Vol. iii. p. 427.; Vol. iv., p. 62.)</span></h3>
+
+
+<p>The querist on Hugh Holland and his works, must be content with a reply
+of unvarnished brevity.</p>
+
+<p>1. "Where are these lines taken from, and what do they mean?"&mdash;The lines
+are from the <i>Cypress garland</i> of Hugh Holland, 1625. 4to. The meaning
+is obvious. I assume that Holland may be trusted as to his own age, to
+which Wood gives no clue.</p>
+
+<p>2. "Who says he did not quit Westminster school till 1589?"&mdash;Wood says
+he was bred in Westminster school, and "elected into Trinity coll. in
+Cambridge, an. 1589." Welch, from official documents, gives the same
+date. Wood nowhere states that he "matriculated at Baliol in 1582."</p>
+
+<p>3. "My words are, '<i>about</i> 1590 he succeeded to a fellowship.'"&mdash;Wood
+says he was elected to Trinity college in 1589, "of which he was
+<i>afterwards</i> fellow." It may have been some years afterwards.</p>
+
+<p>4. "Why does not M<span class="smcap lowercase">R</span>. C<span class="smcap lowercase">ORNEY</span> give your readers his interpretation of the
+mysterious H. H.?"&mdash;He reserved it for another occasion, but now
+consents to satisfy the curiosity of the querist and others.</p>
+
+<p>In 1632 Henry Holland dedicated to Charles I. an English version of the
+<i>Cyrvp�dia</i> of Xenophon, made by his father Philemon Holland. In the
+dedication, which is signed at length, he says:</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot"> "Also, when any unworthy selfe (anno 1620) offred mine owne
+   collections, entituled <i>Herwologia Anglica</i>, unto his highnesse
+   [James I.], he most graciously received it."</p>
+
+<p>In 1614 appeared, under the initials "H. H.," the <i>Monvmenta
+sepvlchraria sancti Pavli</i>, and in the address <i>ad lectorem</i> we
+read:<a id="read92"></a>
+ <span  class="pagenum">[92]</span></p>
+
+ <p class="blockquot"> "Et non sol�m nomine bonus appellatus est [sc. Alex. Nowel], sed
+   etiam et in vita sua bonitas apparuit, et in morte bona sua opera
+   illum sunt sequuta, et uberi�s et fusi�s in <i>Effigiebus</i> nostris
+   et <i>vitis illustrium Anglorum</i> cum de Coleto tum de illo apparet:
+   (qu� nunc transmarino habitu vestiend� sunt) quare hic illum
+   pluribus prosequi verbis non est opus."</p>
+
+<p>Here is unanswerable evidence that Henry Holland was the compiler of
+both works. In the catalogue of the Grenville collection of books, now
+in the British Museum, both works are ascribed to Hugh Holland.</p>
+
+<p>5. "The edition of 1614 was certainly the first, and that of 1633
+<i>certainly</i> the second."&mdash;The querist adopts my correction of his
+threefold error, and calls it an <i>answer</i>!</p>
+
+<p>6. "I shall therefore leave the shade of Cole and
+M<span class="smcap lowercase">R</span>.
+B<span class="smcap lowercase">OLTON</span> C<span class="smcap lowercase">ORNEY</span> to
+settle the question as to whether any such work exists."&mdash;The querist
+did not perceive that the <i>Roxana of Alexander</i> was an error for the
+<i>Roxana of Alabaster</i>&mdash;so he endeavours to draw off the attention of his
+readers from this proof of critical obtuseness by a common-place
+witticism.</p>
+
+<p>I must describe the facile process by which our querist has obtained his
+apparent triumph. Wood, at the close of his article on Hugh Holland the
+poet, which is chiefly derived from the <i>Worthies</i> of Fuller, mentions
+one Hugh Holland as admitted B.A. in 1570, and another Hugh Holland as
+matriculated at Baliol college in 1582, aged twenty-four; with others of
+that surname. He adds, "but whether any of them were authors, I cannot
+yet tell, or <i>whether the last was the same with the poet</i>. Qu." Now,
+with regard to the first and second articles, our querist omits the
+sentence which proves the inapplicability of his quotations! and with
+regard to the third article, he omits the word <i>afterwards</i>, which forms
+the gist of the argument.</p>

+<h3><span>LADY FLORA HASTINGS' BEQUEST.<br />
+(Vol. iv., p. 44.)</span></h3>
+
+<p>"Assertion is not proof," and it surely does require <i>proof</i> ere we
+consent to brand a writer of unimpeached character with the charge of "a
+shameless, heartless act of literary piracy."</p>
+
+<p>It rests with E<span class="smcap lowercase">RZA</span> to bring forward his or her <i>proof</i> that the lines in
+dispute were written by Lady Flora. E<span class="smcap lowercase">RZA</span> asserted that they were "never
+before printed." I have enabled him or her to satisfy himself or herself
+that they were in print <i>nearly</i> twelve years ago. I am disposed to
+believe E<span class="smcap lowercase">RZA</span> equally mistaken in the assertion as to the authorship of
+the lines. If this prove so, the imputation cast upon Miss Barber will
+revert upon her accuser, and will demand the most ample apology.</p>
+
+<p>I do not know Miss Barber; her writings I have long admired; and having
+been the means of drawing down upon her such an accusation, I am not
+disposed to let the inquiry terminate here. Nor can I believe the Editor
+of  "N<span class="smcap lowercase">OTES AND</span> Q<span class="smcap lowercase">UERIES</span>"
+ will desire that either a literary error or a
+groundless slander should descend to posterity in his pages.</p>
+
+ <p class="right">   L. H. K.</p>
+
+
+<p>E<span class="smcap lowercase">RZA</span> cannot entertain a higher respect than I do for the memory of Lady
+Flora Hastings; but I am sure no member of her family would countenance
+any attempt to exalt her reputation at the expense of another's; and I
+fear E<span class="smcap lowercase">RZA</span>, however unintentionally, has fallen into this error. The
+stanzas she attributed to Lady Flora, as L. H. K. stated (Vol. iii., p.
+522.), were published as Miss M. A. S. Barber's in <i>The Christian Lady's
+Magazine</i> for September, 1839, only two months after Lady Flora's death.
+In the preceding number, as L. H. K. also correctly stated, is a brief
+memoir of Lady Flora, in which it is said, that shortly before her death
+she "delivered to her fond brother a little Bible, the gift of her
+mother, requesting him to restore it to that beloved parent," &amp;c.
+E<span class="smcap lowercase">RZA</span>
+may be unacquainted with that publication, but I can assure her that
+Lady Flora's brother, my esteemed and lamented patron, was not; for
+shortly after the number appeared, I found it lying on his table, in his
+own private room at Donington Park, and, while waiting to see him,
+partly read it there myself for the first time. I know not whether he
+ever read the lines in question in the succeeding number, but I know the
+<i>Magazine</i> was regularly taken by some of Lady Flora's intimate friends,
+and I cannot suppose they would allow any poem of hers to pass unnoticed
+for twelve years, with the signature of Miss Barber attached to it.
+Indeed the stanzas bear internal evidence of being written after Lady
+Flora's death, and founded on the account given by <i>Charlotte Elizabeth</i>
+in the preceding number. If, however, E<span class="smcap lowercase">RZA</span> still persists in attributing
+them to Lady Flora Hastings, she is in duty bound to give her authority,
+and not bring such a heavy accusation against Miss Barber on the bare
+assertion of an anonymous correspondent. If Miss Barber really composed
+the stanzas, as I believe she did, she was doubtless actuated with a
+desire to honour the memory and character of Lady Flora; and in such
+case nothing could be more cruel and unjust than the conduct imputed to
+her by E<span class="smcap lowercase">RZA</span>. Unfortunately I do not know Miss Barber's address, or
+whether she is still living; but if any of your readers do, I hope they
+will name this case to her, or her friends, that her reputation may be
+cleared from the imputation thus rashly cast on it. If the case cannot
+thus be satisfactorily settled, I will obtain the desired information
+from another quarter; but I hope E<span class="smcap lowercase">RZA</span> will also offer the assistance in
+her power towards this desirable object; and to<a id="object93"></a>

+<h4><span><i>Coke and Cowper</i></span> <span>(Vol. iv., p. 24.).</span></h4>
+
+<p>&mdash;In reply to one of your
+correspondents, who inquires as to the correct pronunciation of the name
+of the poet <i>Cowper</i>, I may mention, that some years ago, being on a
+visit in the neighbourhood of Weston Underwood, I made particular
+inquiries on this point in the village, and found that <i>there</i> the poet
+had always been known as Mr. C<i>oo</i>per. The name of the noble family to
+which he was related will be the best criterion.</p>
+
+<p>By the way, was there not sometime since a proposal for erecting by
+subscription a worthy monument to a poet whose memory every Christian
+must revere? In whose hands was this project, and with whom does its
+execution rest?</p>

+<p class="left"> Highfield, near Southampton, July 22. 1851.</p>
+
+
+<p>In my humble opinion, Coke is the old English form of writing <i>cook</i>,
+from A.-Sax. "c�c." See Chaucer's <i>Coke's Tale</i>, and <i>Cock Lorrell's
+Bote</i>, where we read "Drouers, Cokes, and pulters;" and in this same
+poem occurs the line, "Carpenters, <i>coupers</i>, and ioyners." See also
+under Cooper in Pegge's <i>Anecdotes of the English Language</i>; the names,
+as thus pronounced, are rendered significant.</p>
+
+<p>Should it be asked how we ought to pronounce the name of another poet,
+viz. Cowley, if Cowper be called Cooper, I answer that they are from
+different roots: that Cowley is from <i>cow</i>, and <i>ley</i>, signifying cow
+pasture, or place for cows; and that Cowper is only another form of
+Cooper: not but that in the north they pronounce <i>cow</i> as <i>coo</i>, and,
+therefore, they would call him Cooley.</p>

+not, as M. S. supposes, always accompanied by the Christian name for
+unmarried ladies; and the custom lasted at least as late as the reign of
+George II. Pope in his letters (about 1719) mentions "Mrs. Lepel" and
+"Mrs. Bellenden," maids of honour. The examples are innumerable, but the
+<i>latest</i> instance I remember is the Duchess of Queensbury addressing
+Patty Blount in 1756 as "Mrs. Blount;" though, no doubt, Patty was, by

+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://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
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was 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:
+
+     https://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.

+[Transcriber's note: Original spelling varieties have not been

+and [\e] for the letter e with acute or grave accents. The pilcrow sign
+has been rendered as [P]; the legal paragraph sign as [para].

+Notes.
+
+
+PROVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY.
+
+The following "sententious truths" are extracted from Bishop
+Jewel's grand performance, _A Defense of the Apologie of the
+Churche of Englande_, fol. 1571, a work as remarkable for "the
+pomp and charms" of its eloquence, as for the profound erudition,
+and the consummate ability, with which its "good doctrine" is
+exhibited and enforced. In common, however, with the other
+productions of this illustrious champion of the Reformation, it
+has an additional and most attractive feature; one, indeed, which,
+less or more, characterises all the literary achievements of the
+gigantic geniuses of the Elizabethan period, the "very dust of
+whose writings is gold."[1] The "Defense" abounds with _proverbial
+folk-lore_ of the rarest sort; and this is so skilfully and
+appositely introduced, that the subject-matter presents itself to
+the reader's mind rather as a corollary, naturally deduced from a
+self-evident proposition--for who would think for a moment of
+questioning the truth of what has the semblance of a popular
+adage?[2]--than as a nicely managed argument, which receives no
+other help from the latter than that of illustration, employed for
+the simple and single purpose, not of strengthening such argument,
+but of rendering it comprehensible by the "meanest capacities."
+
+  [Footnote 1: Bentley, of Bp. Pearson, in _Dissert. on Phalaris._]
+
+  [Footnote 2: I have somewhere met with an amusing instance of
+  this. It seems that Dean Swift, with a party of friends, were
+  invited to view the garden of a gentleman, the walls of which were
+  laden with peaches of a most tempting ripeness, but which they
+  were strictly forbidden to touch. This injunction was followed,
+  until Swift ('twas like him) at length put forth his hand and
+  plucked, at the same time observing, with all becoming gravity,
+  "As my deeply venerated grandmother used to say,
+
+      'Never fail to pluck a peach,
+      Whene'er you find one in your reach.'"
+
+  'Twas enough. The authority of the adage was sufficient to
+  overrule every other obligation; and the rest of the company, much
+  to the disgust of the master of the garden, immediately proceeded,
+  with infinite gusto, to follow the Dean's example, not for a
+  moment doubting the propriety of the act. "The court awards it,
+  and the law doth give it."]
+
+With this little bit of criticism, let me take the liberty of
+recommending to such of your readers, and I trust they are many, who
+seek for knowledge and wisdom in the richly-stored tomes, especially of
+the divines, whose appearance imparted a further glory to the days of
+our "good queen Bess," to note down the "wise saws and modern instances"
+which lie scattered along their glowing periods, like "dew-drops on the
+flow'ry lawn," for the purpose of transferring them to your very
+appropriate pages.
+
+The remark of our old lexicographer, Florio[3], that "daily both new
+words are invented, and books still found that make a new supply of
+old," may, in its latter part, very fitly be applied to our proverbial
+philosophy; for, great as is the light which has already been thrown
+upon the subject, it must be admitted that a more _systematic_
+examination than they have yet received, of the works of the Elizabethan
+writers, would elucidate it to an extent that can scarcely be
+appreciated.
+
+  [Footnote 3: _Worlde of Wordes_, Ital. and Eng. Pr. 1598.]
+
+With these observations I offer you my little string of pearls, under
+the hope that row after row may be added to it.
+
+  "1. A contentious man wil never lacke wordes.
+
+  2. A Judge must walke with feete of lead.
+
+  3. An ignorante Judge was never indifferente.
+
+  4. A simple eie is soone beguiled.
+
+  5. By a smal draughte of sea-water, though maiste judge the
+  verdure of the whole.
+
+  6. Error can not be defended, but by error.
+
+  7. Evils must be cured by theire contraries.
+
+  8. He is very doumbe, and can speak but little, that cannot speake
+  ill.
+
+  9. He that cannot judge Golde by sounde, or in sight, yet may trie
+  it by the poise.
+
+  10. Il wil is ever plentiful of il woordes.
+
+  11. In the fairest rose thou maiste soonest finde a canker.
+
+  12. It is a desperate cause, that with woordes and eloquence maie
+  not be smoothed.
+
+  13. It is very course woulle that will take no colour.
+
+  14. Let Reason leade thee; let Authoritie move thee; let Truthe
+  enforce thee.
+
+  15. Of an Impossibilitie yee maie conclude what yee liste.
+
+  16. Oftentimes he is hardiest man to speake, that hathe leaste to
+  saie.
+
+  17. One demanded this question of Zoilus the Railer: Why takest
+  thou sutche pleasure in speaking il? Zoilus made answere, Bicause,
+  whereas I woulde doo it, I am not hable.
+
+  18. Rashe judgemente argueth somme folie.
+
+  19. The Heares of a mannes Bearde, or Heade, never ware white al
+  togeather.
+
+  20. The mouthe which speaketh untruth killeth the soule.
+
+  21. The report of an enimie maketh no proufe.
+
+  22. The slowe paced horses kepe backe the chariot.
+
+  23. The Truthe wilbe hable evermore to beare it selfe.
+
+  24. To mainteine a fault knowne, is a double faulte.
+
+  25. To spende woordes without cause, is affliction of the sprite,
+  and losse of time.
+
+  26. Vesselles never geve so great a sounde, as when they be
+  emptie.
+
+  27. Untruthe cannot be shielded, but by untruthe.
+
+  28. Where the woulfe is broken in, it is beste for the poor sheepe
+  to breake out."
+
+It is as well to remark that the above aphorisms are contained within
+the first 365 pages of the "Defense." Their orthography and punctuation
+have been carefully preserved, as they ought always to be in such like
+cases. Some of them I have not elsewhere met with, and others present
+_variae lectiones_ of an interesting character. They are all delivered in
+a quaint simplicity of style, which admirably illustrates the general
+tone of thought and language of the period.
+
+    COWGILL.
+
+
+PARAPHRASE ON THE 137TH PSALM BY CHURCHILL.
+
+A paraphrase of the 137th psalm by Charles Churchill may, perhaps, be
+deemed not unworthy of a place amongst your Notes. It was originally
+sent to Mrs. Baily of Cadbury, who had remonstrated with him on his
+devoting his pen exclusively to satire. That lady gave them to my
+maternal grandfather. Three lines of the last verse are lost.
+
+    R. C. H. H.
+
+  Thimbleby.
+
+      "Our instruments untun'd, unsung,
+        (Grief doth from musick fly)
+      Upon the willow trees were hung,
+        The trees that grew thereby.
+
+      "'Raise, raise your voice,' the victors say,
+        'Touch, touch the trembling string,
+      In Sion's manner briskly play,
+        In Sion's manner sing.'
+

+
+      OVID. _Amor._ lib. iii.]
+
+It seems to me that the noble poet has condescended to avail himself of
+a little _ruse_ in referring to this passage of Ovid. It would have been
+perhaps more honest to have referred his readers to those magnificent
+lines in the opening address to Venus, by Lucretius, "De Rerum Natur[^a],"

+
+      "AEneadum genitrix, hominum div[^o]mque voluptas,
+      Alma Venus!" &c.
+
+I subjoin the verses which Lord Byron _really_ had in mind when he wrote
+the foregoing stanzas:
+
+      "Nam tu sola potes tranquill[^a] pace juvare
+      Mortaleis: quoniam belli fera moenera Mavors
+      Armipotens regit, _in gremium_ qui saepe _tuum se_
+      Rejieit, aeterno devictus volnere Amoris:
+      Atque _ita, suspiciens_ tereti cervice reposta
+      _Pascit amore avidos, inhians in te, Dea, visus;_
+      Eque tuo pendet resupini spiritus ore.
+      Hunc tu, Diva, tuo recubantem corpore sancto
+      _Circumfusa super_, suaveis ex ore loquelas
+      Funde, petens placidam Romanis, incluta, pacem."
+
+Surely if the author of _Childe Harold_ were indebted to _any_ ancient
+poet for some ideas embodied in the lines cited, it was to Lucretius and
+not to Ovid that he should have owned the obligation.

+Minor Notes.
+
+_On the Word "raised" as used by the Americans._--An American, in answer
+to an inquiry as to the place of his birth, says, "I was _raised_ in New
+York," &c. Was it ever an English phrase? And if so, by what English
+writer of celebrity was it ever used? Dr. Franklin, in a letter to John
+Alleyne, Esq., Aug. 9, 1768, says:
+
+  "By these early marriages we are blest with more children; and
+  from the mode among us, founded in nature, of every mother
+  suckling and nursing her own child, more of them are _raised_."

+_A Ship's Berth._--Compilers of Dictionaries have attempted to show, but

+meanings of the verb _to bear_. I conjecture that it has been derived
+from the Welsh word _porth_, a port or harbour. This word is under
+certain circumstances written _borth_, according to the rules of Welsh
+grammar. A ship's place in harbour (_borth_) is her _berth_. A sailor's

+Queries.
+
+
+JOHN A KENT AND JOHN A CUMBER.
+
+I am much obliged to you, Mr. Editor, for giving additional circulation
+to my inquiry (through the medium of the _Athenaeum_ of the 19th ult.)
+regarding the two ancient popular wizards, John a Kent and John a
+Cumber. I was aware, from a note received some time ago from my friend
+the Rev. John Webb of Tretire, that there are various current traditions
+in Monmouthshire, and that Coxe's history of that county contains some
+information regarding one of these worthies. That fact has since been
+repeated to me by a gentleman of Newport, who wrote in consequence of
+what appeared in the _Athenaeum_, and whose name I do not know that I am
+at liberty to mention. I may, however, take this opportunity of thanking
+him, as well as the transmitter of the curious particulars printed in
+the _Athenaeum_ of Saturday last.
+
+One point I wish to ascertain is, whence John a Kent derived his
+appellation? This question has not been at all answered. Has his name
+any connexion, and what, with the village of Kentchurch, in
+Monmouthshire; and why was the place called Kentchurch? To what saint is
+the church dedicated? and has the name of that church anything to do
+with the name of the saint? Anthony Munday (or Mundy), in his MS. play
+(now in my hands by the favour of the Hon. Mr. Mostyn, and by the kind
+interposition of Sir F. Madden), does not give the slightest clue to
+the "birth, parentage, and education" of John a Kent. As to John a
+Cumber, all we learn is, that he was a Scottish conjuror, employed by a
+nobleman of the same country to counteract the proceedings of John a
+Kent, who is represented as in the service of Sir Gosselin Denville, a
+person who appears, from what Munday says, to have had power and
+influence in South Wales.
+
+Now, the name of Sir Gosselin Denville itself suggests a Query; because
+I find in Johnson's _Lives of Highwayman, &c.,_ fol. 1734, p. 15. (I do
+not of course refer to it as a book of any authority), that there was a
+celebrated collector of tribute from travellers who bore that name and
+rank. He, however, came from Yorkshire, and lived (according to the
+narrative of Johnson, who had it most likely from Capt. A. Smith, whose
+work I have not at hand) as long ago as the reign of Edward II. Let me
+ask, therefore, whether there exist any tidings respecting such a person
+as a native of Wales, and as the "master" (I use Munday's word) of John
+a Kent?
+
+But this is not the principal object of my present communication, which
+relates to one of the heroines of Munday's drama--a daughter of
+Llewellin, Prince of North Wales. To her the name of Sidanen is given,
+and she is constantly spoken of as "the fair Sidanen," with the
+additional information, in one place, that "sonnets" had been written in
+her praise. Every person who sends a Query must plead ignorance, and
+mine may be great as regards Welsh poetry, when I inquire, who was
+Sidanen, and where has she been celebrated? By the second volume of
+_Extracts from the Registers of the Stationers' Company_ (printed for
+the Shakspeare Society), it is evident that she was well known about the
+middle of the reign of Elizabeth, for on p. 94. I read the following
+entry:--
+
+      "xiii Augusti [1580]
+
+  "Rich. Jones. Rd. of him for printinge a ballat of brittishe
+  Sidanen, applied by a courtier to the praise of the Queen."
+
+British Sidanen probably meant Sidanen of Ancient Britain, or Wales, to
+whom some unnamed and adulatory courtier had compared Queen Elizabeth. I
+fancied also that I recollected, in Warner's _Albion's England_, some
+allusion to Elizabeth under the name of Sidanen, but I cannot at present
+find it.
+
+As I have my pen in hand, may I add another word, quite upon a different
+subject: it is upon the _nimium_ (pardon the word) _vexata questio_
+about _esile_, as it is spelt in the first and second folios of
+_Hamlet_. Have any of your correspondents, from MR. SINGER to MR.
+CAMPKIN, with all their learning and ingenuity, been able at all to
+settle the point? Surely, then, I cannot be blamed for not taking upon
+me dogmatically to decide it eight years ago. I stated the two positions
+assumed by adverse commentators, and what more could I do? What more
+have your friends done? The principle I went upon was to make my notes
+as short as possible; and after pages on pages have been employed in
+your miscellany, it seems, in my humble judgment, that the case is not
+one jot altered. _Esile_ may still either mean vinegar (eyesel) or the
+river Eisell.

+
+
+SWEARING ON THE HORNS AT HIGHGATE.
+
+Can any of your readers give a satisfactory explanation of what Lord
+Byron, in the LXXth stanza of the first canto of _Childe Harold's
+Pilgrimage_, calls the _worship of the solemn horn_? The whole stanza is
+as follows:
+
+      "Some o'er thy Thamis row the ribbon'd fair,
+      Others along the safer turnpike fly;
+      Some Richmond Hill ascend, some send to Ware,
+      And many to the steep of Highgate hie.
+      Ask ye, Boeotian shades! the reason why? (15)
+      'Tis to the worship of the solemn Horn,
+      Grasp'd in the holy hand of mystery,
+      In whose dread name both men and maids are sworn,
+      And consecrate the oath with draught and dance till morn!"
+
+And the note (15) merely refers to the poet's writing from Thebes, the
+capital of Boeotia.
+
+I have a faint recollection of a circumstance which occurred on a
+journey from York to town some forty years ago, and which I almost fancy
+may throw some distant light on Lord B.'s horn. Among the inside
+passengers by the stage was a middle-aged Yorkshireman, apparently a
+small farmer, who kept the rest in a continual titter with his account
+of various personal adventures, which he related in a style of quaint
+and ludicrous simplicity; and as, in the course of conversation, it
+appeared that he had never visited the metropolis before, it was
+suggested by a couple of wags, that on the arrival of the coach at
+Highgate he should be invited "to make himself free of the Horns."
+Accordingly, when in due time the vehicle halted at the above-mentioned
+place, and the inside passengers, with the exception of York, had
+quitted it, an ostler, having received his cue, appeared at the door
+with a pole, to which we attached a pair of gilded ram's horns; and
+inquired if the "genelman" from Yorkshire, who was on his first visit to
+London, wished to obtain his freedom by swearing on the horns, or would
+rather forego the ceremony by a payment of the customary fee. The
+Yorkshireman was evidently taken aback by the unexpected question; but,
+after a moment's hesitation, intimated that he preferred the horns to
+forking out the cash. He was thereupon directed with mock solemnity to
+place his right hand upon the horns, and to follow the ostler in
+reciting a ridiculous formula; which, if I remember right, consisted in
+his vowing, under certain penalties, to prefer wine to water, roast beef
+and ale to a dry crust and water gruel, the daughter to the mother, the
+sister to the brother, laughing to crying, and songs and glees to
+requiems and psalms, &c.
+
+Can you then oblige me with any information respecting the worship of
+the solemn horn alluded to by Lord Byron; and, secondly, with any
+account respecting the solemn farce of swearing in strangers on the
+horns when reaching Highgate on their first visit to the metropolis,
+which farce I presume has long since been exploded by the introduction
+of the railway.
+
+    KEWENSIS.
+
+  [Moore, in his edition of Byron's _Works_, has the following note
+  on this passage:--"Lord Byron alludes to a ridiculous custom which
+  formerly prevailed at the public-houses in Highgate, of
+  administering a burlesque oath to all travellers of the middling
+  rank who stopped there. The party was sworn on a pair of horns,
+  fastened, 'never to kiss the maid when he could kiss the mistress;
+  never to eat brown bread when he could get white; never to drink
+  small beer when he could get strong;' with many other injunctions
+  of the like kind, to all which was added the saving clause,
+  'unless you like it best.'" Our correspondent, W. S. GIBSON, Esq.,
+  in his _Prize Essay on the History and Antiquities of Highgate_,
+  has preserved some curious notices of this burlesque oath. He
+  says, "All attempts to trace the once prevalent, but now obsolete,
+  custom of 'swearing at Highgate' to any really probable source
+  have proved unavailing, and the custom has fallen into disuse. The
+  early identity of the site of the present hamlet with the ancient
+  forest, and the vicinity of Highgate to a park or chase, naturally
+  suggests the possible connexion of these trophies with huntsmen
+  and their horns; and it is not difficult to perceive that the
+  spoils and emblems of the chase, and the hunter's joyous horn, may
+  in time have acquired the character of household gods, and at
+  length, become like the sword of the warrior, a sacred emblem upon
+  which vows were taken, and the most binding engagements made. It
+  is, however, less difficult to imagine the reality of such an
+  origin, than to account for the strange degeneracy exhibited in
+  the modern aspect of the custom. 'Swearing on the horns' was an
+  observance at all events more than a century old; for a song which
+  embodied a close paraphrase of the oath, according to the best
+  authorised version yet extant, was introduced in a London
+  pantomime at the Haymarket Theatre in the year 1742."]

+  "Like Verres in Tully, _Non quid responderent, sed quemadmodum non

+
+49. _Queen Brun[/e]haut._--I read in a French book of travels that the
+abbey of Saint Martin's, at Autun, contained the tomb of Queen
+Brun[/e]haut, upon which was engraved the following inscription:
+
+      "Ci-g[^i]t la Reine Brun[/e]haut,
+      A qui le Saint Pape Gregoire
+      Donna des [/e]loges de gloire,
+      Qui mettent sa vertu bien haut.
+      Sa pi[/e]t[/e] pour les saints myst[\e]res
+      Lui fit fonder trois monast[\e]res,
+      Sous la r[\e]gle de Saint Beno[^i]t:
+      Saint Martin, Saint Jean, Saint Andoche,
+      Sont trois saints lieux o[\u] l'on conno[^i]t
+      Qu'elle est exempte de reproche."
+
+1. Who was the Saint Gregory mentioned in this inscription? I believe
+there can be little doubt that it was Pope Gregory I., commonly known as
+Gregory the Great, and the cotemporary of Queen Brun[/e]haut. The only
+other Pope of that name, that has been canonized, is Gregory VII., the
+famous Hildebrand; but as his canonization did not take place till the
+close of the last century (700 years after his death), an inscription,
+which, from its obsolete rhymes of "Beno[^i]t" and "conno[^i]t," bears
+internal evidence of having been made in the sixteenth or seventeenth
+century, could not have applied to him the epithet _Saint_.
+
+2. Brun[/e]haut having been one of the most profligate queens that ever sat
+upon a throne, and Gregory the Great one of the most virtuous Popes that
+have shed lustre on the tiara, a second Query presents itself:--Is it
+possible that such a Pope could have degraded himself and his office by
+eulogising such a queen? The bare idea is at variance with the known
+character of that Pope; and the imputation, if substantiated, would
+materially detract from his established reputation for piety and wisdom.
+
+3. Is there any passage in the writings of Gregory the Great that can be
+cited in support of the allegations of this inscription?

+50. _Sculptured Stones in the North of Scotland._--Some time ago Patrick
+Chalmers, Esq., of Auldbar, in the county of Forfar, obtained drawings
+of all the sculptured stone obelisks in Angus, and got them lithographed
+for the members of the Bannatyne Club. The work has excited considerable
+attention among historical students in this country as well as abroad,
+and certainly has laid a foundation for correct comparison of these with
+other similar remains of a symbolical nature in other parts of the
+country. In Aberdeenshire there is a considerable number of these
+obelisks, which, either from the more primitive state of the people, or
+the hardness of the granite, are much less elaborate than those in
+Angus. None, however, can exceed the obelisks in Easter Ross for beauty
+of execution. It is singular that no monument of this class has been
+found south of the Forth. The Spalding Club (Aberdeen) proposes to
+obtain drawings of all the stones of this description in the North of
+Scotland; and the artist who depicted the Angus stones so accurately and
+well for Mr. Chalmers has commenced his labours. Circulars have been
+sent to the clergy of about 240 parishes in the North, asking for
+information as to the locality of any sculptured stones in their
+districts, but as yet answers have been obtained from only about 150. It
+is probable that where no return has been made, there is no stone of the
+description alluded to; but it would be desirable to know that the
+Spalding Club had exhausted the matter.

+51. _Prophecies of Nostradamus._--In a little work I am meditating on
+the subject of English Popular Prophecies, I shall have occasion to
+introduce a notice of this celebrated astrologer, whose successful
+prediction of the Great Rebellion, and consequent English popularity,
+almost entitle him to a place among our native vaticinating worthies.
+
+The curious prefiguration of the fate of Charles I. stands thus in the
+original edition of the _Prophesies_: Lyons, 1572, under the head, "A
+mes Imprimeurs de Hongrie:"
+
+      "Senat de Londres mettront [\a] mal leur Roy."
+
+In the only other edition to which I have the opportunity of referring,
+London, 1672, "Translated and commented upon by Theophilus de
+Garencieres," it is much amplified:
+
+      "XLIX.
+
+      "Gand et Bruxelles marcheront contra Anvers.
+      Senat de Londres mettront _[\a] mort_ leur Roy.
+      Le sel et vin luy seront [\a] l'envers
+      Pour eux avoir le Regne or desseroy."
+
+The more literal accuracy of this version, and the number of the
+quatrain (interpreted by the commentator to refer to the year of
+Charles's death), induce doubts as to its authenticity. Collections of
+early editions of Nostradamus are not of frequent occurrence in England:
+but I am told that a fine series exists in the "Biblioth[\e]que du Roi,"
+and as the subject is interesting, some one, perhaps, out of the many
+readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES" who will visit Paris this holiday time
+may be induced to examine them, and make a note of the _earliest_
+edition in which the latter form of the prediction occurs.

+52. _Quaker Expurgated Bible._--In an extremely curious and interesting
+volume entitled _Quakerism, or the Story of my Life_, I meet with the
+following passage, p. 386.:
+
+  "About four years ago, an English Friend waited on me, to request
+  me to enter my name as a subscriber to an edition of the Bible,
+  which a Committee of Friends were intending to publish. The
+  printed prospectus stated that the work was designed to be one
+  suited for daily perusal in Friends' families; that from it would
+  be carefully excluded every passage that was indelicate, and unfit
+  for reading aloud; and also those portions which might be called
+  dangerous, which it was possible the unlearned and unstable might
+  wrest to their own destruction."
+
+Can any of your readers tell whether this expurgated Bible was ever
+published, and where it is to be procured?

+A copy of the prospectus alluded to would also be very acceptable.

+53. _Salmon Fishery in the Thames._--This was once of great importance
+to the inhabitants of the villages upon the banks of the Thames, who
+appear to have had each their assigned bounds for their fishery. In the
+Churchwardens' Book of Wandsworth, under date 1580, is the following
+entry:
+
+  "M.D. that this yere in so[=m]er the fishinge Rome of Wandesworthe
+  was by certen of Putney denyed, and long sute before my L. Mayor
+  of London continued, and at the last, accordinge to Right,

+  so[=m]er the fysshers of Wandesworthe tooke betweene Monday and
+  Saturday seven score salmons in the same fishinge, to the gret
+  honor of God."
+
+I have heard my mother say, that Thames salmon was plentiful when she
+was a younger woman, and that it was the most esteemed of any. She died
+recently, aged eighty-nine.

+_The Twentieth of the Thirty-nine Articles._--In a note to a work

+
+  "In the Act 13th of Elizabeth, anno 1571, confirming the
+  Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England, these Articles are
+  not engrossed, but referred to as comprised in a printed book,
+  intitled 'Articles agreed to by the whole Clergy in Convocation

+  power to decree Rites and Ceremonies, and authority in
+  Controversies of Faith.' That clause is not in the Articles
+  referred to; nor the slightest hint of any authority with respect
+  to matters of faith. In the same year, 1571, the Articles were
+  printed both in Latin and English, precisely as in the year 1562.
+  But soon after came out spurious editions, in which the said
+  clause was foisted into the Twentieth Article, and continues so to
+  this day," &c.
+
+This is a grave charge. Is it a true one? I have not at hand the
+authorities by which to examine it, and therefore seek an answer from
+some of your readers who may be able to give it. My question refers to
+the imputation of a clause having been foisted into our Articles of
+Faith by a forgery, and still continuing in them; not to the truth of
+any part of our Articles as they now stand. To this there is sufficient
+testimony.

+  styled in their commissions _Capitaines Exempts des Gardes du
+  Corps_. Richelet describes the _Exempt_ as the officer who
+  commanded in the absence of the Lieutenant or Ensign, and who had
+  charge of the night watch. In both cases, the duties of the

+_Curious Monumental Inscription: "Quos Anguis tristi."_--Have any of
+your readers seen Latin verses constructed in the following curious
+manner? I copied these many years ago from an old magazine:--
+
+      "Qu      an      tris      di      c      vul      stra
+         os      guis      ti      ro     um       nere      vit,

+    J. O. B.
+
+  [The inscription quoted by our correspondent has been preserved by
+  Stow, in his _Survey of London_, who, describing the monuments in
+  the church of St. Anne in the Willows, says (p. 115. ed. 1842),
+  "John Herenden, mercer, esquire, 1572; these verses on an old

+
+_Meaning of "Deal."_--I shall feel greatly obliged to any of the readers
+of your entertaining and instructive miscellany, if they can explain the
+meaning of the word _deal_, as used in Exod. xxix. 40. A tenth of flour
+is the verbal rendering of the Hebrew, the Septuagint, and the Vulgate.
+It was introduced by Coverdale and Tyndale, and is, I believe, in all
+our English translations except the Puritan or Genevan, which has "a
+tenth part;" and Mr John Ray of Glasgow, in his revised translation, who
+renders the word "the tenth of an ephah." Is this use of the word _deal_
+noticed in any dictionary?
+
+    GEORGE OFFOR.
+
+  Hackney, July 13. 1851.
+
+  [The word "_deal_" in the passage referred to by our correspondent
+  clearly signifies "_part_," and corresponds with the German
+  "_theil_." It is from the A-S.; and Chaucer uses the phrases
+  "never a _del_" and "every _del_," for "never a bit" and "every
+  bit." In the _Vision of Piers Ploughman_ we have a nearly parallel
+  phrase to that used in our Bibles:

+_La Mer des Histoires._--Who is the author of _La Mer des Histoires_? I
+have seen the first volume in large folio; the type and paper are
+beautiful, the capital letters very fine. It is stated in the preface to
+be a translation from the Latin of _Rudimentum Noviciorum_, with the
+addition of the French Chronicles, and made at the instance of Andr[/e] de
+la Haye, Seigneur de Chaumot, Paymaster of Sens. It is printed at Paris
+in the month of July, 1448, by Pierre le Rouge. In how many volumes is
+the work comprised? Is it very scarce?
+
+    R. C. H. H.
+
+  [Greswell, in his _Annals of Parisian Typography_, p. 307., says,
+  "The designation _La Mer des Histoires_ seems, as a popular one,
+  to have been given to French chronicles of various descriptions.

+PASSAGE IN VIRGIL.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 24.)
+
+Your correspondent ERYX inquires, in your paper of July 12, whether
+Servius's interpretation of
+
+      "Viridesque secant placido aequore silvas."
+
+      Virg. _AEn._ viii. 96.
+
+be correct. I beg to reply that it is not. The interpretations of
+Servius are almost invariably incorrect; Servius was a very illiterate,
+ignorant, and narrow-minded man, and totally unable to understand the
+author whom he attempted to illustrate. His comments on Virgil resemble
+those which we might expect a hedge schoolmaster in Yorkshire now to
+make upon Milton. These comments, which are only valuable on account of
+the mythological traditions which are preserved in them, have been very
+injurious to the right understanding of Virgil.
+
+The meaning of the passage in question is, that the AEneadae row up the
+river among the green woods, or (literally) "secant silvas," _travel the
+woods_, "placido aequore," _on the calm surface of the water_, _i. e._ by
+rowing up the placid stream of the river. This, and not that assigned by
+Servius following Terentienus, is the true meaning. 1st. Because
+_secare_ with the objective case means constantly in Virgil to _travel
+along_. Compare "viam secat ad naves," _AEn._ vi. 902.; "secuit sub
+nubibus arcum," v. 658., &c. 2ndly. Because the Tiber is described only
+as _placid_, not as _clear_; and as appears from _AEn._ vii. 31., was
+actually _very muddy_, "multa flavus arena." The immediately preceding
+words, "variisque teguntur arboribus," have been pronounced by a very
+learned critic (one who has often deserved well of Virgil) to be _idle,
+otiosa_. (See Wagner ad _AEn._ i. 678.) And his opinion has been
+sanctioned by the usually judicious Forbiger. But they are not idle; on
+the contrary, they are necessary to convey the idea that the AEneadae
+passed up the river _under the shade of the trees_; and so are
+supplemental to the statement contained in the words cited by your
+correspondent, which inform us only that they went up the river. Hence a
+confirmation of the correctness of the received interpretation.
+
+    JAMES HENRY.
+
+  34. Westland Row, Dublin, July 14. 1851.
+
+Your correspondent ERYX wishes to know, whether in the passage (_AEneid_,
+viii. 96.)--
+
+      "Viridesque secant placido aequore silvas,"
+
+the word _secant_ can legitimately convey the same idea that is
+expressed in Tennyson's lines--
+
+            ---- "my shallop ... clove
+      The citron shadows in the blue."
+
+There can be little doubt that this well-known passage in the _AEneid_ is
+the _original_ of Tennyson's image; that, in fact, it is an excusable
+plagiarism on the part of the latter, who, in introducing, his image,
+has, I think, missed the appropriateness, and therefore increased
+beauty, belonging to it in the original passage of Virgil.
+
+When AEneas is journeying up the Tiber to visit Evander, the river, in
+order to lessen his labours--
+
+      "refluens ... substitit unda;"
+
+but notwithstanding this, the journey was arduous as is shown in the
+_whole_ of the three lines 94-96.
+
+      "Olli remigio noctemque diemque fatigant,
+      Et longos superant flexes, variisque teguntur
+      Arboribus, viridesque secant pacido aequore silvas."
+
+That is to say, "They labour at the oar till night is wearied out, and
+day also is obliged to give place in its turn; they master one by one
+the long serpentine bends of the river, and, though covered and inclosed
+by the varied foliage above them, they cut their way through the
+opposing woods, which lie, as it were, in their path in the shadowy
+surface of the clear, still water."
+
+The word _placido_ is surely sufficient to prevent any one falling into
+the common-place interpretation alluded to by your correspondent as the
+one "usually given."

+
+THE VINE OF ST. FRANCIS.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 502.)
+
+I feel much obliged for the information afforded by your Dutch
+correspondent. When I sent you my Query on the subject more than a year
+ago, I wrote principally from memory; but as I have now the work in
+question lying beside me as I write, and as it seems to be rarer and
+less known than I had imagined, you will perhaps find place for a more
+minute description of it.
+
+_The Vine of St. Francis_ is a folio volume, containing 418 numbered
+leaves, a "Prologhe" of one leaf (next to the title-page), and a "Tafel
+v[=a] dit boeck" at the end, of five leaves and a half unnumbered.
+
+The title-page contains a full-length picture of the saint, with a
+nimbus round his head, the knotted cord round his waist, and his palms
+extended, displaying the sacred stigmata. Above the picture is the title
+in red and black. I have written in Italics the words printed in red:
+
+  "_Den_ w[:y]ngaert v[=a] _Sinte_ Franciscus _vol_ schoonre
+  _historien_ legenden ende _duechdel[:y]cke_ leer[=e]nghen allen
+  _menschen_ seer prof[:y]tel[:y]ch."
+
+And under the picture "Cum _gratia_ et _privilegio_." On the back of the
+title-page is printed as follows:--
+
+  "Dit is die generael tafel v[=a] dese w[:y]ngaert dwelcke ghdeylt is
+  in drie boecken.
+
+      [P] Dat eerste boeck inhout
+      Sinte Franciscus grote legende
+      Sinte Franciscus oude legende
+      Den aflaet van portiunkel
+      Sinte Franciscus souter.
+
+      [P] Dat ander boeck inhoude
+      De leg[=e]de v[=a] de .v. marte mind-brod's
+      De leg[=e]de v[=a] de seu[=e] mar. ooc mind'b.
+      Sinte bonauentura legende
+      Sinte lodew[:y]c biscop legende
+      Sinte anthonis v[=a] paduen legende
+      Sinte bernard[:y]ns legende
+      Sinte clara legende
+      Sinte puo priesters legende
+      Sinte lodew[:y]c coninex legende
+      Sinte elzearius graue legende
+      Sinte elizabets legende.
+
+      [P] Dat derde boec inhout
+      Een tractaet v[=a] S. Franciscus oorden
+      Sinte Franciscus geselle leuen
+      Die geleerde e[=n] edele v[=a] S. Fr[=a]ciscus oorden
+      Dat getal der broeder[=e] e[=n] prouintien
+      De aflaet v[=a] rom[=e] mitt[=e] aflaet des oord[=e]s
+      De kal[=e]dier mitt[=e] feest[=e] des aflaets."
+
+Under these tables of contents occur two stanzas, the first containing
+five lines, the second containing seven lines. They commence:--
+
+      "[P] O salige w[:y]ngaert seer diep gheplant
+      Groyende in duechden van vruchten playsant," &c.
+
+The preface to the _Grote Legende_ informs us that it is Saint
+Bonaventura's life of Saint Francis, and mentions why it is called the
+_Great Legend_. This life ends at folio 47.
+
+The preface to the _Oude Legende_, which next follows, states that it is
+"gathered from the writings of his companions and the chronicles of the
+order of the Brothers Minor;" and the "Prologhe" (which succeeds the
+preface) mentions--
+
+  "Die leg[=e]de van z[:y]n drie gesellen den spiegel der
+  volcom[=e]heyts der minderbroeders. Broeder Thomas oude legends
+  e[=n] d[=e] boeck der ghel[:y]cheden daer seer schoon besereu[=e] is.
+  Hoe ghel[:y]ck dat dese heylighe man Franciscus: Christo Jhesu."
+
+These lives, I suppose, are--that joint narrative compiled by three
+intimate associates of the Saint, "z[:y]n drie gesellen," that composed by
+Thomas of Celano; and the _Liber Conformitatum_.
+
+The 39th chap. of this _Oude Legende_, folio ciii., relates, as the
+preface says--
+
+  "[P] Hoe dat S. F. woude reysen in verre l[=a]den om dat vole te
+  bekeren e[=n] te vermaenen e[=n] v[=a] die grote tribulacie die hi
+  leet int solda[=e]s lant e[=n] hoe hi gerne martelaer hadde
+  geworden e[=n] hoe die broeders te Antiochien s[:y]n oord[=e]
+  a[=e]naemen."
+
+On which Jewish-converting martyrdom-seeking journey Dr. Geddes (in his
+curious little work on the _Romish Orders of Monks and Friars_, Lond.
+1714) quaintly remarks:
+
+  "A Quaker's having gone from England to Rome to convert the pope
+  to his religion, is a mighty jest with some people, who are very
+  much edified with this story of Francis's going from Italy to
+  Egypt to convert the sultan, but these two adventures do to me
+  appear to be so much alike that I shall leave it to anatomists to
+  tell whether good wits that prompt others, have not their brains
+  either made of the same size, or much in the same posture."
+
+The _Oude Legende_ ends folio 44. Next follows:
+
+  "[P] Die historie van d[=e] aflaet van Sinte Maria van d[=e]
+  enghelen diem[=e] porti[=u]kel heet,"
+
+as the preface hath it. Some of your readers may have seen an
+advertisement respecting a series of Franciscan works (to be published,
+I think, by Richardson of Derby), entitled the _Portioncule Library_;
+and seeing in the above table of contents "Die aflaet van Portiunkel,"
+or the Indulgence of the _Portiunkel_, they may be at a loss to know its
+meaning, so I shall quote a note from Mrs. Jameson's highly interesting
+and valuable work on the _Monastic Orders_, which is to the purpose:
+
+  "The term Porzioncula means literally 'a small portion, share, or
+  allotment.' The name was given to a slip of land, of a few acres
+  in extent, at the foot of the hill of Assisi, and on which stood a
+  little chapel; both belonged to a community of Benedictines, who
+  afterwards bestowed the land and the chapel on the brotherhood of
+  S. Francis. This chapel was then familiarly known as the 'Capella
+  della Porzioncula.' Whether the title by which it has since become
+  famous as the S. Maria-degli-Angeli belonged to it originally, or
+  because the angels were heard singing around and above it at the
+  time of the birth of St. Francis, does not seem clear. At all
+  events this chapel became early sanctified as the scene of the
+  ecstasies and visions of the saint; here also S. Clara made her
+  profession. Particular indulgences were granted to those who
+  visited it for confession and repentance on the fifth of August
+  and it became a celebrated place of pilgrimage in the fourteenth
+  century. Mr. Ford tells us, that in Spain the term _Porzioncula_
+  is applied generally to distinguish the chapel or sanctuary
+  dedicated to St. Francis within the Franciscan churches. The
+  original chapel of the Porzioncula now stands in the centre of the
+  magnificent church which has been erected over it."
+
+In the "Legende" of St. Anthony of Padua, chap. vii. fol. ccxx., we have
+that saint's "sermo ad pisces" in the city of Rimini, _die vol ketters
+was_, and the conversion therefrom of the said _ketters_ or heretics.
+
+The "Prologhe" to the narrative "van die v[:y]f Martelaren," fol.
+clxxviii., commences, "Ego quasi Vitis fructificavi suavitatem odoris
+alo cen[=e] w[:y]ngaert," &c.: here we learn why the work is called _Den
+W[:y]ngaert_, or _The Vine_.
+
+In the "tractat v[=a] S. F. orden e[=n] reghele," at fol. cccxxix., we
+have an account of Brother Agnellus of Pisa his mission to England in
+1224.
+
+In the "Getal der broeder[=e] e[=n] prouintien," at fol. cccci., we
+learn that at that time (1518) England had 7 convents and 200 friars;
+Ireland 15 convents and 400 friars; and Scotland 8 convents and 120
+friars.
+
+The "Kalendier" which follows this "Getal" is printed in red and black.
+
+"Den aflaet v[=a] rom[=e]" is the last tract in the book. Here is the
+finis:
+
+  "[P] Hier eyndt b[:y] de gratie gods dat derde boec v[=a] desen
+  w[:y]ngaert die mit groten arbeyt wt veel duct[=e]tel[:y]cke scrift[=e]
+  wten lat[:y]ne vergadert e[=n] nu eerst translateert is, ter eer[=e]
+  des heylighe confessors Sinte Franciscus e[=n] ten prof[:y]te v[=a]
+  allen gueden kenten menschen.
+
+  "[P] Hier na volcht di tafele."
+
+After the "tafel" or index occur some verses containing seventy-three
+lines, eulogistic of the saint.
+
+I forgot to mention that in the _Oude Legende_ some of St. Francis's
+poems are given, translated from the Italian originals: at fol. cxxii.
+is given the "Canticum solis," part of which Sir James Stephen quotes in
+his sketch of the saint's life.
+
+I have Query to make, but must defer it to another time, as I have
+already taken up enough of your paper.

+
+An extraordinary mode of swearing, akin to the oaths already noticed,
+is recorded by Ysbrant Ides in his _Travels from Moscow to China_
+(London, 1705, and reprinted in the second volume of Harris's
+Collection):--
+
+  "Two Tunguzian hostages falling out, one accused the other before
+  the Waywode (or Viceroy) of having conjured his deceased brother
+  to death. The Waywode asked the accuser if he would, according to
+  the Tunguzian custom, put the accused to his oath? To this he
+  answered in the affirmative; after which the accused took a _live
+  dog_, laid him on the ground, and with a knife stuck him into the
+  body, just under his left foot, and immediately clapped his mouth
+  to the wound, and sucked out the dog's blood as long as he could
+  come at it; after which he lift him up, laid him on his shoulders,
+  and clapped his mouth again to the wound in order to suck out the
+  remaining blood. An excellent drink indeed! And this is the
+  greatest oath and most solemn confirmation of the Truth amongst
+  them; so that on credit of this the accused was set free, and the
+  accuser punished for his false accusation."
+
+The dog, designed, as Cicero observes, for man's use, was doubtless
+selected for his sagacity and faithfulness; and by Loccenius, in his
+_Leges W. Gothicae_, "tria canum capita" are stated to have been
+"Hunnorum gentis insignia," the progenitors of the Tunguzians, p. 107.
+In Northern Europe "sanguine Deos placari creditum; canibus etiam cum
+hominibus permist[\e] in luco suspensis." (_Ibid._ p. 105.)
+
+Among the northern nations, not only their testimoniary oaths were thus
+sanctioned by blood, but their confederative also, in which their
+fraternisation was symbolised by reciprocal transfusion of blood.
+
+      "Dear as the blood that warms my heart."
+
+      Gray's _Bard_.
+
+It was the custom of the Scythians "non dextras tantum implicare, sed
+pollices mutuo vincire, nodoque perstringere; mox sanguine in artus
+extremos se effundente levi ritu _cruorem elicere_, atque invicem
+lambere." (Hanseanius _De Jurejurando Verterum_.) Quintus Curtius
+remarks that among the Hindoos (between whom and the Scythians Sir W.
+Jones and other ethnographers have observed various traces of affinity)
+the joining of right hands was their usual mode of salutation; "dextra
+fidei sedes."
+
+En passant, I have elsewhere seen the opinion quoted by a correspondent
+(Vol. ii., p. 464), "Sedem animae in digitis ponunt," attributed to the
+Hindoos. Query, Has not the profession of [Greek: thel[^e]tai] (see Dr.
+Maitland on _Mesmerism_) prevailed among them? Their propensity to
+conjuring is so proverbial, that, according to a writer in the _Asiatic
+Researches_, that term is derived from one of their tribes. See also on
+their witchcrafts, Acosta's _East and West Indies_, chap. xxvi.
+
+Before I dismiss the subject of swearing, permit me to observe what
+appears to me to be the origin of the apothegm "Fiat Justitia, ruat
+Coelum" (Vol. ii., p. 494.), which, with a slight change, was afterwards
+adopted by Ferdinand, emperor of Austria.
+
+May it not have originated in an oath similar to that of Chaganus, king
+of the Huns, recorded by Otrokoesi, in his _Historiae Hungaricae_?--
+
+  "Abarico ritu jusjurandum ad hunc modum praestitit. Ense edueto et
+  in altum sublato sibi et Abaricorum genti dira imprecatus _si quid
+  mali_, &c. _Coelum_ ex alto ipsis et Deus Ignis qui in coelo est,
+  _irrueret_."
+
+More sententiously he may have said: "Fiat [a me] justitia, [in me] ruat
+Coelum, [si non]."
+
+On the inviolability of oaths among the heathens, in addition to the
+works referred to in Vol. iii., p. 192., see _Gentleman's Magazine_,
+vol. i. p. 415.; on the singular notion, in the fourteenth century, of
+the harmlessness of colloquial and affirmative oaths, see _Archaeologia_,
+vol. xx. p. 43.; and on the opposition made by the Lollards to this

+HUGH HOLLAND AND HIS WORKS.
+
+(Vol. iii. p. 427.; Vol. iv., p. 62.)
+
+The querist on Hugh Holland and his works, must be content with a reply
+of unvarnished brevity.
+
+1. "Where are these lines taken from, and what do they mean?"--The lines
+are from the _Cypress garland_ of Hugh Holland, 1625. 4to. The meaning
+is obvious. I assume that Holland may be trusted as to his own age, to
+which Wood gives no clue.
+
+2. "Who says he did not quit Westminster school till 1589?"--Wood says
+he was bred in Westminster school, and "elected into Trinity coll. in
+Cambridge, an. 1589." Welch, from official documents, gives the same
+date. Wood nowhere states that he "matriculated at Baliol in 1582."
+
+3. "My words are, '_about_ 1590 he succeeded to a fellowship.'"--Wood
+says he was elected to Trinity college in 1589, "of which he was
+_afterwards_ fellow." It may have been some years afterwards.
+
+4. "Why does not MR. CORNEY give your readers his interpretation of the
+mysterious H. H.?"--He reserved it for another occasion, but now
+consents to satisfy the curiosity of the querist and others.
+
+In 1632 Henry Holland dedicated to Charles I. an English version of the
+_Cyrvpaedia_ of Xenophon, made by his father Philemon Holland. In the
+dedication, which is signed at length, he says:
+
+  "Also, when any unworthy selfe (anno 1620) offred mine owne
+  collections, entituled _Herwologia Anglica_, unto his highnesse
+  [James I.], he most graciously received it."
+
+In 1614 appeared, under the initials "H. H.," the _Monvmenta
+sepvlchraria sancti Pavli_, and in the address _ad lectorem_ we read:
+
+  "Et non sol[\u]m nomine bonus appellatus est [sc. Alex. Nowel], sed
+  etiam et in vita sua bonitas apparuit, et in morte bona sua opera
+  illum sunt sequuta, et uberi[\u]s et fusi[\u]s in _Effigiebus_ nostris
+  et _vitis illustrium Anglorum_ cum de Coleto tum de illo apparet:
+  (quae nunc transmarino habitu vestiendae sunt) quare hic illum
+  pluribus prosequi verbis non est opus."
+
+Here is unanswerable evidence that Henry Holland was the compiler of
+both works. In the catalogue of the Grenville collection of books, now
+in the British Museum, both works are ascribed to Hugh Holland.
+
+5. "The edition of 1614 was certainly the first, and that of 1633
+_certainly_ the second."--The querist adopts my correction of his
+threefold error, and calls it an _answer_!
+
+6. "I shall therefore leave the shade of Cole and MR. BOLTON CORNEY to
+settle the question as to whether any such work exists."--The querist
+did not perceive that the _Roxana of Alexander_ was an error for the
+_Roxana of Alabaster_--so he endeavours to draw off the attention of his
+readers from this proof of critical obtuseness by a common-place
+witticism.
+
+I must describe the facile process by which our querist has obtained his
+apparent triumph. Wood, at the close of his article on Hugh Holland the
+poet, which is chiefly derived from the _Worthies_ of Fuller, mentions
+one Hugh Holland as admitted B.A. in 1570, and another Hugh Holland as
+matriculated at Baliol college in 1582, aged twenty-four; with others of
+that surname. He adds, "but whether any of them were authors, I cannot
+yet tell, or _whether the last was the same with the poet_. Qu." Now,
+with regard to the first and second articles, our querist omits the
+sentence which proves the inapplicability of his quotations! and with
+regard to the third article, he omits the word _afterwards_, which forms
+the gist of the argument.

+LADY FLORA HASTINGS' BEQUEST.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 44.)
+
+"Assertion is not proof," and it surely does require _proof_ ere we
+consent to brand a writer of unimpeached character with the charge of "a
+shameless, heartless act of literary piracy."
+
+It rests with ERZA to bring forward his or her _proof_ that the lines in
+dispute were written by Lady Flora. ERZA asserted that they were "never
+before printed." I have enabled him or her to satisfy himself or herself
+that they were in print _nearly_ twelve years ago. I am disposed to
+believe ERZA equally mistaken in the assertion as to the authorship of
+the lines. If this prove so, the imputation cast upon Miss Barber will
+revert upon her accuser, and will demand the most ample apology.
+
+I do not know Miss Barber; her writings I have long admired; and having
+been the means of drawing down upon her such an accusation, I am not
+disposed to let the inquiry terminate here. Nor can I believe the Editor
+of "NOTES AND QUERIES" will desire that either a literary error or a
+groundless slander should descend to posterity in his pages.
+
+    L. H. K.
+
+ERZA cannot entertain a higher respect than I do for the memory of Lady
+Flora Hastings; but I am sure no member of her family would countenance
+any attempt to exalt her reputation at the expense of another's; and I
+fear ERZA, however unintentionally, has fallen into this error. The
+stanzas she attributed to Lady Flora, as L. H. K. stated (Vol. iii., p.
+522.), were published as Miss M. A. S. Barber's in _The Christian Lady's
+Magazine_ for September, 1839, only two months after Lady Flora's death.
+In the preceding number, as L. H. K. also correctly stated, is a brief
+memoir of Lady Flora, in which it is said, that shortly before her death
+she "delivered to her fond brother a little Bible, the gift of her
+mother, requesting him to restore it to that beloved parent," &c. ERZA
+may be unacquainted with that publication, but I can assure her that
+Lady Flora's brother, my esteemed and lamented patron, was not; for
+shortly after the number appeared, I found it lying on his table, in his
+own private room at Donington Park, and, while waiting to see him,
+partly read it there myself for the first time. I know not whether he
+ever read the lines in question in the succeeding number, but I know the
+_Magazine_ was regularly taken by some of Lady Flora's intimate friends,
+and I cannot suppose they would allow any poem of hers to pass unnoticed
+for twelve years, with the signature of Miss Barber attached to it.
+Indeed the stanzas bear internal evidence of being written after Lady
+Flora's death, and founded on the account given by _Charlotte Elizabeth_
+in the preceding number. If, however, ERZA still persists in attributing
+them to Lady Flora Hastings, she is in duty bound to give her authority,
+and not bring such a heavy accusation against Miss Barber on the bare
+assertion of an anonymous correspondent. If Miss Barber really composed
+the stanzas, as I believe she did, she was doubtless actuated with a
+desire to honour the memory and character of Lady Flora; and in such
+case nothing could be more cruel and unjust than the conduct imputed to
+her by ERZA. Unfortunately I do not know Miss Barber's address, or
+whether she is still living; but if any of your readers do, I hope they
+will name this case to her, or her friends, that her reputation may be
+cleared from the imputation thus rashly cast on it. If the case cannot
+thus be satisfactorily settled, I will obtain the desired information
+from another quarter; but I hope ERZA will also offer the assistance in
+her power towards this desirable object; and to set the example of
+candour and openness, I will subscribe my real name.

+_Coke and Cowper_ (Vol. iv., p. 24.).--In reply to one of your
+correspondents, who inquires as to the correct pronunciation of the name
+of the poet _Cowper_, I may mention, that some years ago, being on a
+visit in the neighbourhood of Weston Underwood, I made particular
+inquiries on this point in the village, and found that _there_ the poet
+had always been known as Mr. C_oo_per. The name of the noble family to
+which he was related will be the best criterion.
+
+By the way, was there not sometime since a proposal for erecting by
+subscription a worthy monument to a poet whose memory every Christian
+must revere? In whose hands was this project, and with whom does its
+execution rest?
+
+    THOS. MCCALMONT.
+
+  Highfield, near Southampton, July 22. 1851.
+
+In my humble opinion, Coke is the old English form of writing _cook_,
+from A.-Sax. "c[/o]c." See Chaucer's _Coke's Tale_, and _Cock Lorrell's
+Bote_, where we read "Drouers, Cokes, and pulters;" and in this same
+poem occurs the line, "Carpenters, _coupers_, and ioyners." See also
+under Cooper in Pegge's _Anecdotes of the English Language_; the names,
+as thus pronounced, are rendered significant.
+
+Should it be asked how we ought to pronounce the name of another poet,
+viz. Cowley, if Cowper be called Cooper, I answer that they are from
+different roots: that Cowley is from _cow_, and _ley_, signifying cow
+pasture, or place for cows; and that Cowper is only another form of
+Cooper: not but that in the north they pronounce _cow_ as _coo_, and,
+therefore, they would call him Cooley.

+_Miss or Mistress_ (Vol. iv., p. 6.).--The indiscriminate use of "Miss"
+and "Mrs." to unmarried ladies is often very perplexing. The "Mrs." was
+not, as M. S. supposes, always accompanied by the Christian name for
+unmarried ladies; and the custom lasted at least as late as the reign of
+George II. Pope in his letters (about 1719) mentions "Mrs. Lepel" and
+"Mrs. Bellenden," maids of honour. The examples are innumerable, but the
+_latest_ instance I remember is the Duchess of Queensbury addressing
+Patty Blount in 1756 as "Mrs. Blount;" though, no doubt, Patty was, by

+extent confirm his views with regard to the use of them in foreign
+countries, having now before me the plate (a woodcut) of Erhardus [\a]
+Muckhenthall--probably in modern German, Erhardt von Muckenthal--dated
+1634. It consists of his armorial bearings, surmounted by a helmet, &c.,
+apparently indicative of nobility; but the tinctures not being

+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm

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

+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at

+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was 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:
+
+     https://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.
