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.

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. + + 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," + *** *** *** + + +UPON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE MEDICEAN VENUS IN THE 4TH CANTO OF CHILDE +HAROLD, STANZAS LI. AND LII. + + 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! + + LII. + + 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. + + A BORDERER. + + +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_." + + JAMES CORNISH. + +_Contradiction: D'Israeli and Hume._-- + + "Rousseau was remarkably trite in conversation." + + _Essay on Literary Character_, vol. i. p. 213. + + "Rousseau, in conversation, kindles often to a degree of heat + which looks like inspiration." + +Quoted by D'Israeli in the same vol., p. 230. + + JAMES CORNISH. + +_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_. + + S. S. S. (2) + + + + +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."] + + +Minor Queries. + +42. _Proverb of James I._--In the _Miscellaneous State Papers_ +(published 1778), vol. i. p. 462., we find Steenie (the Duke of +Buckingham) writing to his royal master as follows:-- + + "Give my leave here to use your own proverb,--_For this the devil + cone me no thanks._" + +At the risk of being thought very dull, I ask, what is _cone_, and what +is the meaning of the proverb? James was no _ignoramus_, after all. + + VARRO. + +43. _Mrs. Hutchinson._--What became of the celebrated Lucy Hutchinson, +who wrote the memoirs of her husband--where did she die? and from whence +is all the information that can be got about her, subsequently to her +autobiography, to be obtained? + + M. + +44. _Amadis de Gaule, Early Translation of._--I have lately purchased a +black-letter volume, dated 1595. The first part has no title, but the +second is called,-- + + "The Second Booke of Amadis de Gaule, containing the description, + wonders, and conquest of the Firme-Island. The triumphes and + troubles of Amadis. His manifold victories obtained, and sundry + services done for King Lisuart. The kinges ingratitude, and first + occasion of those broils and mortal wars, that no small time + continued between him and Amadis. Englished by L. P. London: + Printed for C. Burbie, and are to be sold at his shop at the Royal + Exchange, 1595." + +The Epistle Dedicatory to "Master Walter Borough" is signed "Lazarus +Pyott," which is perhaps an assumed name; and, if I mistake not, I have +seen it assigned to some known writer of the time. As I do not find this +work noticed by Lowndes, perhaps MR. COLLIER or some of your readers +would kindly give me some information respecting its rarity, &c. + + J. M. S. + +45. _Hogarth and Cowper._--Which preceded the other, and who was the +greater artist, Hogarth or Cowper, in the portrait and description of +the stately and antiquated lady going to church on the winter's morning +with her boy, who-- + + "Carries her Bible, tuck'd beneath his arm, + And hides his hands to keep his fingers warm?" + + JAMES CORNISH. + +46. _Latin Translation of Butler's Analogy._--In Bartlett's _Life of +Bishop Butler_ mention is made (p. 62.), on the authority of a late Dean +of Salisbury (Dr. Pearson), of a translation of _The Analogy_ into +Latin, which had been executed with a view to its publication in +Germany, and had been submitted for revision to Professor Porson. + +Was this translation ever published or is anything now known of it? + + THOS. MCCALMONT. + + Highfield, near Southampton, July 22. 1851. + +47. "_Non quid responderent_," _&c._--In the Life of Bishop Jewel +prefixed to the edition of his works, 1611, §24., there occurs a +sentence attributed to _Cicero in Verrem 3._: + + "Like Verres in Tully, _Non quid responderent, sed quemadmodum non + responderent laborabant_." + +But are the words to be found in _Cicero_ at all? They give no bad +representation of what is called _fencing_, while unwillingly subjected +to an examination; and the true authorship would oblige + + NOVUS. + +48. "_The Worm in the Bud of Youth_," _&c._--With whom did the following +idea originate, and where are the words to be found? + + "The worm is in the bud of youth, and in the root of age." + +Can any similar expression be adduced from the ancient classics? + + R. VINCENT + +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? + + HENRY H. BREEN. + + St. Lucia, June, 1851. + +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. + + ABERDONIENSIS. + +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. + + SPERIEND. + +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. + + T. + +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. + +Shall we ever have Thames salmon again? + + R. J.

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. + + CM. + + London, July 25. 1851. + + [The following note from p. 131. of Mr. Hardwick's recently + published _History of the Articles_ will furnish a reply to this + Query:-- + + "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 + there is also the whole body of the Articles to be + seen.'_--_Remains_, ii. 83.

I find, in +the papers describing her Majesty's state ball, the following: "the +exons or capitaines exempts _de la garde du corps;_" but that does not +throw much light upon the subject. + + E. N. W. + + Southwark. + + [The name of _Exempts_ or _Exons_ is manifestly borrowed from that + of the officers in the old French _Garde du Corps_, who were + styled in their commissions _Capitaines Exempts des Gardes du + Corps_.

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 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 André 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.

Sc. 3.] + + + + +Replies. + + +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. + + JAMES HENRY. + + 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." + + H. C. K. + + ---- Rectory, Hereford, July 14. + + +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_ 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 + 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 lodewÿc biscop legende + Sinte anthonis v[=a] paduen legende + Sinte bernardÿns legende + Sinte clara legende + Sinte puo priesters legende + Sinte lodewÿc coninex legende + Sinte elzearius graue legende + Sinte elizabets legende. + + ¶ Dat derde boec inhout + Een tractaet v[=a] S.

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] + wten latÿne vergadert e[=n] nu eerst translateert is, ter eer[=e] + des heylighe confessors Sinte Franciscus e[=n] ten profÿte 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. + + JARLTZBERG. + + +"JUSJURANDUM PER CANEM" + +(Vol. iii., p. 192.).-- + +"SEDEM ANIMÆ IN DIGITIS PONUNT" + +(Vol. ii., p. 464.).-- + +"FIAT JUSTITIA, RUAT COELUM" + +(Vol. ii., p. 494.). + +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]." + +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 _Archæologia_, +vol. xx. p. 43.; and on the opposition made by the Lollards to this +unchristian practice, Purvey's _Remonstrance against the Corruptions of +the Church of Rome_, edited by the Rev.

"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. + + BOLTON CORNEY. + + +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. + + W. HASTINGS KELKE. + + Drayton Beauchamp. + + +Replies to Minor Queries. + +_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. + + THOS.

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. + + EDW. D. INGRAHAM. + + Philadelphia, July 4. 1851. + +_Bummaree_ (Vol. iv., p. 39.).--I have no doubt that this word is +derived, as so many of our _market_ terms are, from the French, _bonne +marée_, fresh fish. + + "Marée signifie toute sorte de poisson de mer qui n'est pas salé; + _bonne marée, marée fraîche, vendeur de marée._" + + _Dict. de l'Acad. Franc._, voce. + + C. + +_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. + + C. + +_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 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.

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 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. |
