+
+TRADITIONS FROM REMOTE PERIODS THROUGH FEW HANDS.
+
+On two or three occasions in the "NOTES AND QUERIES" instances have been
+given of "Traditions from remote periods through few hands," of which it
+would not be difficult to adduce numerous additional examples; but my
+present purpose is to mention some within my personal experience, or
+derived from authentic communication.
+
+In 1781, and my eleventh year, a schoolfellow took me to see his
+great-grandmother, a Mrs. Arthur, in Limerick, then aged one hundred and
+eight years, whose recollection of that city's siege in 1691, when she
+was eighteen, was perfectly fresh and unimpaired, as, indeed, she was
+fond of showing by frequent and even unsolicited recurrence to its dread
+scenes, in which the women, history tells us, fearlessly participated.
+We are here then presented with an interval of one hundred and sixty
+years between a memorable event and my recollection of its narrative by
+a person actively engaged in it. The old lady's family had furnished a
+greater number of chief magistrates to Limerick than any other recorded
+in its annals.
+
+Again in 1784, on a visit to my grandfather in the county of Limerick,
+during a school vacation, I heard him, then in his eighty-sixth year,
+say, that in 1714, on the accession to the British throne of the present
+royal dynasty, he heard in Cork, where he was at school, a conversation
+between several gentlemen on this change of the reigning family, when
+one of them, a Mr. Martin, said that he was born the same day as Charles
+II., on the 29th of May, 1631, and was present at the execution of
+Charles I., the 29th of January, 1649. His family then resided in
+London, where he joined Cromwell's Ironsides, and thence accompanied
+them to Ireland. The transfer to him of some forfeited property
+naturally induced him to settle there. Thus, between me and the
+eye-witness of the regicidal catastrophe, only one person intervenes.
+
+In 1830 there died in London, at the eastern extremity, called the
+World's End, an Irishman, aged one hundred and eleven, named Gibson,
+whose father, a Scotchman, he told me, served under the Duke of Monmouth
+at the battle of Sedgemore in July, 1685, and afterwards, in July, 1690,
+under William, at the Boyne. Supposing, as we well may, the father to
+have been born about 1660, in 1830, before the son's decease, the two
+successive lives thus embrace one hundred and seventy years. I had
+rendered the son some services which made him very communicative to me.
+The father married and settled in Tipperary, where he became a Roman
+Catholic, and no adherent of O'Connell could be more ardent in his cause
+than the son. This veteran had served full seventy years in the royal
+navy.
+
+In 1790 I recollect an old man of a hundred and twenty, who appeared
+before the French National Assembly, and gave clear answers to questions
+on events which he had witnessed one hundred and ten years before.
+
+Similar lengths of personal remembrance are related of old Parr, Lady
+Desmond, and others, whose ages exceeded one hundred and forty years.
+The daughter-in-law of the French king, Charles IX. (widow of his
+natural son, the Duke of Angoulême), survived that monarch by a hundred
+and thirty-nine years (1574-1713),--a rare, if not an unexampled fact.
+The famous Cardan, in his singular work, _De Vita Propriâ_, states that
+his grandfather's birth anteceded his own by a hundred and fifty years
+(1351-1501). Franklin relates that his grandfather was born in the
+sixteenth century, and reign of Elizabeth, as Sir Stephen Fox, the
+grandfather of our contemporary statesman, Charles, was born shortly
+after the death of James I., in 1627. A very near connexion of my own,
+though much younger, is the grandson of a gentleman whose birth
+retrocedes to Charles II., in 1672. Niebuhr grounds one of his
+objections to the truth of the early Roman history on the very great
+improbability of the long period of two hundred and forty-five years
+assigned to the collective reigns of the seven kings. It does, indeed,
+exceed the average of enthroned life; but the seven monarchs of Spain,
+from Ferdinand (the Catholic) to the French Bourbon, Philip V.,
+inclusively, embraced a period of two hundred and sixty-seven years in
+their successive rule (1469, when Ferdinand obtained the crown of
+Arragon, and 1746, the date of Philip's death). The eminent German
+historian offers, however, much stronger arguments in disbelief of the
+Roman annals; but he had many predecessors in his views, though himself,
+unquestionably, the most powerful writer on the subject.
+

+
+P.S.--In Vol. iv., p. 73., Madame du Châtelet's epitaph on Voltaire
+contains an error, where _canis_ twice appears, but should be _carus_.
+The lady's object was certainly complimentary, not sarcastic. My crampt
+writing was of course the cause of the mistake, though, in the _opinion
+of many_, the substituted word would not appear inapplicable to
+Voltaire. A subjoined article of the same page, "Children at a Birth,"
+reminds me of something analogous in Mercier's _Tableau de Paris_, where
+reference is made to the _Mémoires de l'Académie des Sciences_ for the
+fact. The wife of a baker, it is there stated, in the short space of
+seven years, produced one-and-twenty children, or three at each annual
+birth; and, to prove that the prolific faculty was exclusively his, he
+made a maid servant similarly the mother of three children at a birth.
+The major portion, it appears, of this numerous progeny long survived.
+Bayle, in his article of Tiraqueau, a French advocate of the sixteenth
+century, quotes an epigram, which would make him the father of
+forty-five children, and, it is added, by one wife. If so, several must
+at least have been twins:
+
+      "Fæcundus facundus aquæ Tiraquellus amator,
+      Terquindecim librorum et liberum parens;
+      Qui nisi restinxisset aquis abstemius ignes,
+      Implesset orbem prole animi atque corporis."
+
+The accomplished authoress of _A Residence on the Shores of the Baltic_
+(1841, 2 volumes) was, it is well known, one of _four_ congenital
+children in Norwich, where her father was an eminent physician.
+
+    J. R.

+
+
+Minor Notes.
+
+_Nelson's Coat_ (Vol. iii., p. 517.).--The recognition of the coat
+Nelson wore at Trafalgar depends on its fulfilling a detail in the
+following fact. The present Captain Sir George Westphal was a midshipman
+on board the Victory, and was wounded on the back of the head: he was
+taken into the cockpit, and placed by the side of Nelson. When
+Westphal's wound was dressed, nothing else being immediately available,
+Nelson's coat was rolled up and used as a support to Westphal's head.
+Blood flowed from the wound, and, coagulating, stuck the bullion of one
+of the epaulettes to the bandage; it was deemed better to cut off some
+of the bullion curls to liberate the coat: so that the coat Nelson wore
+on that day will be found minus of bullion in one of the epaulettes.
+
+    ÆGROTUS.
+
+_Strange Reasons for keeping a Public-house._--A clergyman in the
+south-west of England, calling lately on one of his parishioners, who
+kept a public-house, remarked to her how sorry he was, when passing
+along the road, to hear such noises proceeding from her house. "I
+wonder," said he, "that any woman can keep a public-house, especially
+one where there is so much drunkenness and depravity as in yours." "Oh,
+Sir," she replied, "that is the very reason why I like to keep such a
+house, because I see every day so much of the _worst part of human
+nature_."
+
+    T. W.
+
+_Superstitions with regard to Glastonbury Thorn._--It is handed down,
+that when Joseph of Arimathea, during his mission to England, arrived at
+Weary-all-hill, near Glastonbury, he struck his travelling staff into
+the earth, which immediately took root, and ever after put forth its
+leaves and blossoms on Christmas Day, being converted into a miraculous
+thorn.
+
+This tree, which had two trunks, was preserved until the time of Queen
+Elizabeth; when one of the trunks was destroyed by a Puritan, and the
+other met with the same fate during the Great Rebellion.
+
+Throughout the reign of Henry VIII., its blossoms were esteemed such
+great curiosities, and sovereign specifics, as to become an object of
+gain to the merchants of Bristol; who not only disposed of them to the
+inhabitants of their own city, but _exported_ these blossoms to
+different parts of Europe. There were, in addition to these, relics for
+rain, for avoiding the evil eye, for rooting out charlock, and all weeds
+in corn, with similar specifics, which were considered, at this time,
+_the best of all property_!
+
+    T. W.
+
+_The miraculous Walnut-tree at Glastonbury._--This far-famed tree was at
+the north of St. Joseph's chapel, in the abbey churchyard. It was
+supposed to have been brought from Palestine by some of the pilgrims,
+and was visited in former days, and regarded as sacred by _all ranks_ of
+people; and, even so late as the time of King James, that monarch, as
+well as his ministers and nobility, paid large sums for sprigs of it,
+which were preserved as holy relics.
+
+    T. W.
+
+_The Three Estates of the Realm._--Some, even educated persons of this
+day, if asked which are the three estates of the realm, will reply, the
+Queen, Lords, and Commons. That the three estates do not include the
+Queen, and are therefore the Lords, the Clergy in Convocation, and the
+Commons, is obvious from the title of the "Form of Prayer with
+Thanksgiving to be used yearly upon the 5th day of November, for the
+happy Deliverance of _King James I._ and the Three Estates of England
+from the most Traitorous," &c.; and also from the following passage of
+the Communion Collect for Gunpowder Treason:--
+
+  "Eternal God, and our most mighty Protector, we Thy unworthy
+  servants do humbly present ourselves before Thy Majesty,
+  acknowledging Thy power, wisdom, and goodness, in preserving _the
+  king_, AND _the three estates_ of the realm of England assembled
+  in Parliament, from the destruction this day intended against
+  them."
+

+
+
+
+
+Queries.
+
+
+BENSLEYS OF NORWICH.
+
+As I am much interested in the above family, which I know to have
+existed at Norwich, or the vicinity, for a century or more, and have
+reason to think was one of some consequence, will you, through the
+medium of your useful columns, allow me to ask some of your intelligent
+correspondents who reside in that neighbourhood the following Queries?
+
+1. Is anything known of the family of the late Sir William Bensley
+farther back than his father, Thomas Bensley? Sir William was born in
+the county of Norfolk, and at an early age entered the navy; transferred
+himself to the Honourable East India Company's service, made a large
+fortune, was elected a Director of the Company 1771, created a baronet
+1801, and died without issue 1809.
+
+2. Was Mr. Richard Bensley, an actor of some celebrity, who made his
+"first appearance" in 1765 (he had previously been an officer in the
+Marines, and, as I am informed, held the appointment of barrack-master
+at Knightsbridge till his death in 1817), any connexion of the above, or
+at all connected with Norwich?
+
+3. Cowper, in one of his letters [to Joseph Hill, Esq., dated
+Huntingdon, July 3, 1765], says:
+
+  "The tragedies of Lloyd and Bensley are both very deep. If they
+  are of no use to the surviving part of society, it is their own
+  fault," &c.
+
+Any information as to who this Bensley was, will be very acceptable; or
+anything concerning the tragedies mentioned.
+
+4. Any intelligence respecting one "Isaac Bensley" of Norwich, weaver;
+who was alive in 1723, as his son was in that year baptized at the
+Octagon Chapel in that city.
+
+If any of your contributors, in their archæological researches among
+tombstones and parish registers, should have met with the name of
+Bensley, by addressing a "note" to you thereon they will confer a great
+obligation on your constant reader and occasional contributor.
+

+
+Minor Queries.
+
+68. _Heraldic Figures at Tonbridge Castle._--In the court of the castle
+of this place, there stands a colossal figure of what I take to be an
+heraldic panther gorged with a ducal crown, supporting a shield of the
+royal arms of France and England quarterly, as borne before the
+accession of James I.
+
+The corresponding supporter is gone, but the base and one claw remain,
+showing it to have been a beast of prey, and with it is a broken shield,
+thereon, "party per pale three lions rampant;" the arms, and probably
+the supporter of the Herberts, earls of Pembroke. The two figures have
+evidently capped the piers of a gateway.
+
+Can any of your readers account for the presence of these figures here,
+where the Herberts are not recorded to have possessed any property?
+
+    ERMINES.
+
+  Tonbridge, July 29. 1851.
+
+69. _English Translation of Nonnus._--I shall be obliged if any of your
+correspondents will inform me if any translation of the poet Nonnus,
+which contains, perhaps, most that is known about Bacchus, has ever been
+made into English; if so, by whom, and when?
+
+    ÆGROTUS.
+
+70. _Of Prayer in one Tongue._--Bishop Jewel, in his celebrated sermon
+preached at Paul's Cross, quotes the following argument as used by
+Gerson, sometime Chancellor of Paris:
+
+  "There is but one only God; ergo, all nations throughout the world
+  must pray to Him in one tongue."
+
+The editor of the Parker Society's edition of Jewel cannot discover the
+argument in the works of Gerson; but if any of your readers can point
+out where it may be found, I shall be much obliged.
+
+    N. E. R. (a Subscriber).
+
+71. _Inscription in Ely Cathedral._--M. D. (Great Yarmouth) is anxious
+to have the meaning of the following inscription explained. It is on a
+tombstone in Ely Cathedral.
+
+                       Human

+                     Aged 60 years.
+
+72. _Cervantes--what was the Date of his Death?_--In the Life prefixed
+to a corrected edition of Jarvis's translation, published by Miller,
+1801, it is stated to be April 23, 1616; and it is added:
+
+  "It is a singular coincidence of circumstances, that the same day
+  should deprive the world of two men of such transcendent abilities
+  as Cervantes and Shakspeare, the latter of whom died in England on
+  the very day that put an end to the life of the former in Spain."
+
+Dr. Christopher Wordsworth, in his Life of his uncle, the poet, remarks
+on his decease on the anniversary of the death of Shakspeare, but makes
+no allusion to the double anniversary; and in the Life of Cervantes
+prefixed to Smollet's translation of _Don Quixote_, the day of
+Cervantes' death is somewhat differently stated.

+
+73. _"Agla," Meaning of._--I have in my possession a silver ring, found
+some time since at a place called "Grungibane" in this neighbourhood.
+The hoop is flat both inside and out, about a quarter of an inch broad.
+On the outside, occupying about half the length, is the following
+inscription: "+ AGLA."
+
+I should feel great obliged by some of your learned correspondents
+decyphering the above.

+74. _Murderers buried in Cross Roads._--Though the lines of Hood's,
+
+      "So they buried him where the cross roads met
+      With a stake in his inside."
+
+occur in one of his comic poems, I have often heard it gravely stated
+that it was formerly the custom to bury murderers with a stake driven
+through the body, where cross roads meet. Was this ever a _custom_, and
+when was "formerly?" Are there many such tragic spots in England and can
+I find them enumerated anywhere?
+
+    P. M. M.
+
+75. _Wyle Cop._--This is the name of a street, or rather bank in
+Shrewsbury, leading from the English Bridge to High Street. It has
+always struck me as being a curious name; and I should feel obliged to
+any of your readers who could inform me what is the origin of the place
+being so called, or if there is any meaning in the words beyond being
+the name of a place.
+
+    SALOPIAN.
+
+76. _The Devil's Knell._--In the _Collectanea Topographica_, vol. i. p.
+167., is the following note:
+
+  "At Dewsbury, Yorkshire, there is a bell called 'Black Tom of
+  Sothill:' the tradition is, that it is as expiatory gift for a
+  murder. One of the bells, perhaps this one, is tolled on
+  Christmas-eve as at a funeral, or in the manner of a passing-bell:
+  and any one asking whose bell it was, would be told that it was
+  the _devil's knell_. The moral of it is, that the devil died when
+  Christ was born. The custom was discontinued for many years, but
+  was revived by the vicar in 1828."
+
+Is the gift of a bell a common expiatory gift for crime? And does the
+custom of tolling the _devil's knell_ on Christmas eve exist in any
+other place at the present time?
+
+    EDWARD F. RIMBAULT.
+
+77. _Queries on Poems of Richard Rolle_ (Vol. iv., p. 49.).--I should be
+glad to ask a question or two of your Cambridge correspondent, touching
+his very interesting contribution from the MS. remains of Richard Rolle
+of Hampole.
+
+What language is meant by the _deuenisch_?
+
+What is a _guystroun_?
+
+How does the word _chaunsemlees_ come to mean shoes?
+
+An expression very strange to English verse occurs in the line,
+
+      "Hir cher was ay _semand_ sori."
+
+I can think of nothing to throw light upon this intensive adverb, except
+the Danish _saamænd_, which is generally used in that language (or
+rather _was_ used, i.e. when Holberg wrote his comedies) as an
+affirmatory oath. Native authorities explain it to mean "_so_ it is, by
+the holy _men_," or in other terms, "by the saints I swear."
+
+I have no doubt that the same kindness which led your correspondent to
+communicate those delightful extracts, will also make him willing to
+assist the understanding of them.

+78. _Did Bishop Gibson write a Life of Cromwell?_--Mr. Carlyle, in
+treating on the biographies of Oliver Cromwell, says that the _Short
+Critical Review of the Life of Oliver Cromwell_, by a gentleman of the
+Middle Temple, was written by a certain "Mr. Banks, a kind of a lawyer
+and playwright," and that the anonymous _Life of Oliver Cromwell, Lord
+Protector of the Commonwealth, impartially collected, &c._, London,
+1724, which Noble ascribes to Bishop Gibson, was by "one Kember, a
+dissenting minister of London."
+
+On the other hand, Mr. Russell, in his _Life of Oliver Cromwell_, 2
+vols. 12mo. 1829, says:
+
+  "There is an anonymous work deserving of some notice, entitled _A
+  Short Critical Review of the Political Life of Oliver Cromwell_.
+  The title professes that it was written by a gentleman of the
+  Middle Temple, but there is reason to believe that it proceeded
+  from the pen of the learned Bishop Gibson."
+
+It would seem, therefore, by these statements, that two different lives
+of the Great Protector have been ascribed to Gibson. Query, Did Gibson
+ever write a life of Cromwell; and if so, which is it?
+
+It is well worth knowing which Gibson did write, if he wrote one at all,
+for he was connected with the Cromwell family, and, what is of more
+consequence, a learned, liberal man, not given to lying, so that his
+book probably contains more truth than any of the other Cromwell
+biographies of that time.

+paraphrase of it. The parallel passages are to be found in (I think) No.
+47. of the _Classical Journal_, published formerly by Valpy. The

+JOHN BODLEY.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 59.)
+
+John Bodley is a name that ought not to be passed over without due
+reverence. He not only fostered the translation of the Genevan Bible,
+but was specially interested in its circulation throughout England.
+Neither Fox, Burnet, or Strype, Mr. Todd, or Mr. Whittaker give us any
+particular information respecting him. Lewis glances at him as _one_
+John Bodley; and Mr. Townley, in his valuable _Biblical Literature_,
+after some notice of Whittingham, Gilby, Sampson, &c., closes by saying,
+"Of John Bodleigh no account has been obtained."
+
+This good and pious man was the father of the celebrated Sir Thomas
+Bodley. He was born at Exeter, and according to the statement of his son
+(_Autobiography_, 4to., Oxf. 1647),--
+
+  "In the time of Queen Mary, after being cruelly threatened and
+  narrowly observed by those that maliced his religion, for the
+  safety of himself and my mother (formerly Miss Joan Hone, an
+  heiress in the hundred of Ottery St. Mary), who was wholly
+  affected as my father, knew no way so secure as to fly into
+  Germany; where, after a while, he found means to call over my
+  mother, with all his children and family, when he settled for a
+  while at Wesel, in Cleveland, and from thence we removed to the
+  town of Frankfort. Howbeit, we made no long tarriance in either of
+  these towns, for that my father had resolved to fix his abode in
+  the city of Geneva, where, as far as I remember, the English
+  Church consisted of some hundred members."
+
+John Bodley returned to England in 1559, and on the 8th of January,
+1560-61, a patent was granted to him by Queen Elizabeth, "to imprint, or
+cause to be imprinted, the English Bible, with annotations." This
+privilege was to last for the space of seven years. In 1565 Bodley was
+preparing for a new impression; and by March the next year, a careful
+review and correction being finished, this zealous reformer wished to
+_renew_ his patent beyond the seven years first granted. It does not
+appear, however, that his application to the authorities had the desired
+effect; for it will be remembered that Archbishop Parker's Bible was now
+in the field, and the Queen's Secretary, Sir William Cecil, was
+compelled to act with caution. A curious letter, addressed by the
+Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London to Sir William Cecil,
+concerning the extension of Bodley's privilege, is printed from the
+Lansdown MS. No. 8. (Art. 82.), in _Letters of Eminent Literary Men_,
+edited by Sir Henry Ellis for the Camden Society.
+
+For a full history of the Geneva Bible, I beg to refer S. S. S. to the
+second volume of Anderson's _Annals of the English Bible:_ Lond. 2 vols.
+8vo. 1845.
+
+    EDWARD F. RIMBAULT.
+
+In the notice of Sir Thomas Bodley contained in Prince's _Worthies of
+Devon_, S. S. S. will find some particulars relating to his father, John
+Bodley. Prince's account of Sir Thomas is "from a MS. on probable
+grounds supposed to be his own handwriting, now in the custody of a
+neighbour gentleman," (Walter Bogan of Gatcombe, near Totnes.) From
+this it appears that John Bodley was long resident at Geneva--
+
+  "Where [says Sir Thomas], as far as I remember, the English church
+  consisted of some hundred persons. I was at that time of twelve
+  years of age, but through my father's cost and care sufficiently
+  instructed to become an auditor of Chevalerius in Hebrew, of
+  Beraldus in Greek, of Calvin and Beza in divinity, and of some
+  other professors in the university, which was then newly erected:
+  besides my domestical teachers in the house of Philibertus
+  Saracenus, a famous physician in that city, with whom I was
+  boarded, where Robertus Constantinus, that made the Greek Lexicon,
+  read Homer unto me."
+
+There is, however, no mention of John Bodley's having been one of the
+translators of the Bible.

+WITHER'S "HALLELUJAH."
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 330.)
+
+A correspondent, S. S. S., inquires concerning one of the numberless,
+and now almost fameless, works of George Wither, a poet of the
+seventeenth century, famous in his generation, but unworthily disparaged
+in that which followed him; the names of Quarles and Wither being
+proverbially classed with those of Bavius and Mævius in the Augustan
+age. The _Hallelujah_ of the latter has become precious from its rarity.
+A copy of this volume (of nearly 500 pages) was lent to me several years
+ago, by a collector of such treasures. On the blank at the back of the
+cover, there was written a memorandum that it had been bought at Heber's
+sale by Thorpe the bookseller for sixteen guineas; my friend, I had
+reason to believe, paid a much higher price for it, when it fell into
+his hands. The contents consist of several hundreds of _hymns_ for all
+sorts and conditions of men, on all the ordinary, and on many of the
+extraordinary circumstances of human life. Of course they are very
+heterogeneous, yet no small number are beyond the average of such
+compositions in point of devotional and poetical excellence.
+
+The author himself, with the consciousness of Horace, in his
+
+      "Exegi monumentum ære perennius,"
+
+crowns his labours at the 487th page with the following "Io triumphe"
+lines:--
+
+      "Although my Muse flies yet far short of those,
+      Who perfect Hallelujahs can compose,
+      Here to affirm I am not now afraid,
+      What once in part a heathen prophet said,
+      With slighter warrant, when to end was brought
+      What he for meaner purposes had wrought;
+      _The work is finished_, which nor human power,
+      Nor flames, nor times, nor envy shall devour,
+      But with devotion to God's praise be sung
+      As long as Britain speaks her English tongue,
+      Or shall that Christian saving faith possess,
+      Which will preserve these Isles in happiness;
+      And, if conjecture fail not, some, that speak
+      In other languages, shall notice take
+      Of what my humble musings have composed,
+      And, by these helps, be often more disposed
+      To celebrate His praises in their songs,
+      To whom all honour and all praise belongs."
+
+How has this fond anticipation been fulfilled? There are not known (says
+my authority) to be more than _three_ or _four_ copies in existence of
+this indestructible work; and the price in gold which a solitary
+specimen can command, is no evidence of anything but its market value.
+Had its poetic worth been proportionate, its currency might have been as
+common as that of Milton's masterpiece, and its trade price as low as
+Paternoster Row could afford a cheap edition of the _Pilgrim's
+Progress_.

+P.S.--Lowndes says:
+
+  "Few books of a cotemporary date can more readily be procured than
+  Wither's first _Remembrancer_ in 1628; few, it is believed, can be
+  more difficult of attainment than his second _Remembrancer_,
+  licensed in 1640, of which latter Dalrymple observes, 'there are
+  some things interspersed in it, nowhere, perhaps, to be
+  surpassed.'"--_Bibliographer's Manual_, p. 1971.
+
+
+FIRST PANORAMA.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 54.)
+
+I did not speak of my own recollection of Girtin's panorama; my memory
+cannot reach so far back. It was my father who does perfectly remember
+_Girtin's_ semicircular panorama. I think the mistake must be with H. T.
+E. Some years back a large collection of Girtin's drawings and sketches
+were sold at Pimlico; my father went to see them, and was delighted to
+find among them some of the original sketches for this panorama, which
+he immediately recognised and bought. He afterwards showed them to
+Girtin's son, now living in practice as a surgeon at Islington (I
+believe), who identified them as his father's work, and with whom I went
+to see the painting, when not many years back it was found in a
+carpenter's loft. Girtin certainly was a painter principally in water
+colour, and one who, with the present J. M. W. Turner, contributed much
+to the advancement of that branch of art; but I do not see how that is a
+reason why he did not paint a panorama. I should think it not unlikely
+that two semicircular panoramas of the same subject were painted; and,
+therefore, with all deference, believe that the mistake is with H. T. E.
+Girtin's son, if applied to, could, and I am sure would, give any
+information he possessed readily.
+
+    E. N. W.
+
+We are not yet quite right about the first panorama, but perhaps the
+following will close the discussion.
+
+I have lately been sitting with Mr. Barker (ætat 78), and he tells me
+that, when quite a boy, he sketched for his father the view of Edinburgh
+from the observatory on the Calton Hill: in the foreground was Holyrood
+House; that _that_ was a half circle, and was exhibited in Edinburgh.
+
+So much was thought of the discovery of its being _possible_ to take a
+view beyond the old rule of sixty degrees, that they went to London, and
+then he took the view from the top of the Albion Mills, as was stated in
+Vol. iv., p. 54.
+
+That was three quarters of a circle, and was exhibited in Castle Street,
+Leicester Square. Afterwards the whole circle was attempted. The idea of
+painting a view more than sixty degrees, was suggested by his mother.
+His father did not work at them, he being a portrait painter; but _he_
+did, young as he was. Mr. Robert Barker and his wife were both Irish;
+but Henry Aston the son was born in Glasgow.

+JOHN A KENT.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 83.)
+
+As I have not seen the _Athenæum_, I send the following notes, in
+uncertainty whether or not they may prove acceptable to MR. COLLIER.
+
+_Sion y Cent_, i.e. John a Kent, or John of Kentchurch, is very
+generally believed in Wales to have been Owen Glendowr; though some
+few--unable to account for the mysterious disappearance of the hero--are
+still firmly convinced that he sleeps, like Montezuma and various other
+mighty men, in some deep cavern, surrounded by his warriors, until the
+wrongs of his country shall call him forth once more to lead them on to
+battle.
+
+The following extracts are from notes appended [by the editors] to some
+poems of John a Kent which are published amongst the "Iolo MSS." by the
+"Welsh MSS. Society."
+
+  "... John of Kent, as he is called, is said to have been a priest
+  at Kentchurch in Herefordshire, on the confines of Wales, about
+  the beginning of the fifteenth century. He still enjoys a high
+  degree of popularity, in the legendary stories of the
+  principality, as a powerful magician. There is in the possession
+  of Mr. Scudamore, of Kentchurch, an ancient painting of a monk,
+  supposed to be a portrait of John of Kent; and as the family of
+  Scudamore is descended from a daughter of Owen Glendowr, at whose
+  house that chieftain is believed to have passed in concealment a
+  portion of the latter part of his life, it has been supposed that
+  John of Kentchurch was no other than Owen Glendowr himself," &c.
+  &c.--Page 676., note to the poem on _The Names of God_.
+
+  "... The author was a priest of Kentchurch in Herefordshire, on
+  the confines of Monmouthshire and Breconshire, and is said to have
+  lived in the time of Wickliffe, and to have been of his party. As
+  the parish of Kentchurch is adjacent to that of Oldcastle, the
+  residence of Sir John Oldcastle, Lord Cobham, it is by no means
+  impossible that John of Kentchurch may also have favoured the same
+  opinions; and may in some measure sanction the idea."
+
+  "... The poet then proceeds to speak of the indignation of the
+  well-robed bishops, the monks, friars and priests; and in the
+  course of the composition he makes some strong animadversions on
+  the luxurious living of the churchmen, stating that formerly the
+  friars were preachers, who possessed no wealth, and went about on
+  foot with nothing but a staff; but that they now possessed horses,
+  and frequented banquets," &c. &c.--Page 687., notes to _A Poem to
+  another's Book_, by John of Kentchurch; from the collection of
+  Thomas ap Jevan of Tre'r Bryn, made about 1670.
+
+The following words occur in this poem:--
+
+        "... onid côf cwymp
+      Olcastr, ti a gair ailcwymp."
+
+      "---- rememberest thou not the fall
+      Of Oldcastle?--Thou shall have a repetition of the fall."
+
+In addition to the two poems here mentioned, the collection contains one
+"_Composed by John of Kent on his death-bed_;" in which are some lines
+of considerable beauty: and also one on _The Age and Duration of
+Things_.
+
+The parish church of Kentchurch is dedicated to St. Mary. I hope to be
+able to send you some further information on the subject, but I well
+know that quotations from memory are _nearly_ valueless. Meanwhile, the
+following note on the mysterious disappearance to which I have already
+alluded may be not uninteresting: I give it as translated by the editors
+of the Iolo MSS.
+
+  "In 1415, Owen disappeared, so that neither sight nor tidings of
+  him could be obtained in the country. It was rumoured that he
+  escaped in the guise of a reaper; bearing[1] ... according to the
+  testimony of the last who saw and knew him; after which little or
+  no information transpired respecting him, nor of the place or
+  manner of his concealment. The prevalent opinion was, that he died
+  in a wood in Glamorgan; but occult chroniclers assert that he and
+  his men still live, and are asleep on their arms, in a cave called
+  Govog y ddinas, in the Vale of Gwent, where they will continue,
+  until England becomes self-debased; but that then they will sally
+  forth, and reconquer their country, privileges, and crown for the
+  Welsh, who shall be dispossessed of them no more until the day of
+  judgment, when the world shall be consumed with fire, and so
+  reconstructed, that neither oppression nor devastation shall take
+  place any more: and blessed will be he who shall see the
+  time."--Page 454. _Historical Notices extracted from the Papers of

+THE BRITISH SIDANEN.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 83.)
+
+MR. J. P. COLLIER will find all the information that Cambrian
+antiquaries can give him respecting Sidanen in Powell's _Cambria_,
+Matthew Paris, Wynne's _Caradoc_, and Warrington's _History of Wales_,
+under the year 1241. The history is given at most length in Warrington;
+where the share which Sidanen had in an interesting episode in Cambrian
+history is fully developed. There were two Welsh princes named Llywelyn,
+who stood to each other in the following relation:
+
+      LLYWELYN AB JORWERTH
+         (died in 1240).
+                |
+         +------+-------+-----------+
+         |              |           |

+      married to                 daughter.
+      _Senena_,
+      daughter of a
+      Cambrian lord
+      named Caradoc
+      ab Thomas.
+            |
+         +--------------------------+--------+
+         |                          |        |
+      LLYWELYN AB GRIFFITH,      OWEN.    DAVID.
+      last Prince of Wales.
+
+The Prince of Wales mentioned by Munday is the first, Llywelyn ab
+Jorwerth, whose descent, as his father was not allowed to reign on
+account of personal deformity, we had better indicate:
+
+                     OWEN, king of North Wales.
+                      |
+      (Eldest son) JORWERTH, the _Broken-nosed_.
+                      |
+            LLYWELYN AB JORWERTH.
+
+Llywelyn, as has been shown, had two sons, Griffith and David, the first
+and eldest of whom, being a turbulent prince, was set aside by his
+father at a solemn assembly of Cambrian lords, in 1238, and David was
+elected to succeed his father. In 1240, David became king of North
+Wales, and one of his first acts was to apprehend his brother and his
+son Owen, and put them in prison. This was done with the connivance of a
+Bishop of Bangor: but that worthy, fearing that the scandal would spread
+abroad, intrigued with _Senena_, the _daughter-in-law_, and not the
+daughter of Prince Llywelyn, and wife of his son Griffith, for his
+release. Overtures were made to Henry III.; and certain lords having
+joined the confederacy, stipulations were entered into, and Henry
+marched against King David. David, who had married the king's daughter,
+now began to counterplot, in which he was quite successful; for Henry,
+who had come to release Griffith, by _special contract_ with his
+brother, took him, with his wife Senena, and his son Owen, with him to
+London, and imprisoned them in the Tower, in attempting to escape from
+whence, two years afterwards, Griffith lost his life. Such is a brief
+outline of all that is known of Senena, who is undoubtedly the Sidanen
+of Munday, and whose name is variously written _Sina_, _Sanan_,
+_Sanant_, and in the Latin chronicle _Senena_. The negotiations here
+alluded to, with the names of all the parties engaged in them, will be
+found in the authorities herein named; all of which being in English,
+MR. COLLIER can easily consult.
+
+John a Cumber is probably John y Kymro, or John the Cambrian; but I know
+nothing of him.
+
+Respecting John of Kent there is but little else known than may be found
+in Coxe's _Monmouthshire_, and Owen's _Cambrian Biography_, sub "Sion
+Cent." There is, however, a tradition in this neighbourhood that he was
+born at Eglwys Ilan, in the county of Glamorgan; and the road is shown
+by which he went to Kentchurch, in Herefordshire. It was at Eglwys Ilan
+that he is reported to have pounded the crows by closing the park gates.
+As this story has not appeared in English print, I will endeavour to
+furnish you again with a more circumstantial statement. Sion Kent, who
+lived about 1450, appears to have derived his name from Kent Chester, or
+Kent Church. He was a monk, holding Lollard opinions; and a bard of
+considerable talent and celebrity. As a matter of course, he was on good
+terms with his Satanic majesty; for he was a mighty reputation as a
+conjuror. MR. COLLIER may find a portion of one of his poems, translated
+in the Iolo MSS., page 687. Should this, or any other authority herein
+named, not be accessible to MR. COLLIER, it would afford me great
+pleasure to send him transcripts.
+
+There is a very gross anachronism in making Sion, _lege_ Shôn Kent, to
+be the contemporary of Senena.

+PETTY CURY.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 24.)
+
+I believe that Petty Cury signifies the Little Cookery. See a note in my
+_Annals of Cambridge_, vol. i. p. 273.
+
+    C. H. COOPER.
+
+  Cambridge, July 12. 1851.
+
+To those who are familiar with the _Form of Cury_, edited by Dr. Pegge,
+no explanation can be necessary for the name of this street, or rather
+lane. It seems, indeed, strange that any one who calls himself a
+Cambridge man should have failed to discover that it was the peculiar
+quarter of the _cooks_ of the town; as we in London have our Poultry
+named from the _Poulters_ (not _Poulterers_, as now corruptly
+designated) who there had their shops.
+
+    F. S. Q.
+
+The Cambridge senate-house is called "Curia," and therefore it may be
+supposed that "Petty Cury" means "_parva curia_," from some court-leet
+or court-baron formerly held there; the town-hall is at the end of it to
+this day. The only objection to the above is, that in the Caius map of
+Cambridge, A.D. 1574, now in the British Museum, Petty Curie is a large
+street even then, whilst neither town-hall nor senate-house exist.
+
+    J. EASTWOOD.
+
+Surely there can be little doubt that the name of this street at
+Cambridge is a corruption from the French "petite écurie." We knew
+little enough about such matters when I was an undergraduate there; but
+still, I think, we could have solved this mystery. Might I be permitted
+to suggest that as the court stables at Versailles were called "les
+petites écuries," to distinguish them from the king's, which were styled
+"les grandes écuries," although they exactly resembled them, and
+contained accommodation for five hundred horses; so the street in
+question may have contained some of the fellows' stables, which were
+called "les petites écuries," to distinguish them from the masters'.
+Should this supposition be correct, it would seem to imply that at one
+time the French language was not altogether _ignored_ at Cambridge.

+
+THE WORD "RACK" IN THE "TEMPEST."--THE NEBULAR THEORY.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 218.; Vol. iv., p. 37.)
+
+MR. HICKSON seems to court opinion as to the justness of his
+interpretation of _rack_. I therefore express my total and almost
+indignant dissent from it.
+
+Luckily, neither in the proposition itself, nor in the manner in which
+it is advocated, is there anything to disturb my previous conviction as
+to the true meaning of this word (which, in the well-known passage in
+the _Tempest_, is, beyond all doubt, "haze" or "vapour"), since few
+things would be more distasteful to me than to encounter any argument
+really capable of throwing doubt upon the reading of a passage I have
+long looked upon as one of the most marvellous instances of
+philosophical depth of thought to be met with, even in Shakspeare,--one
+of those astonishing speculations, in advance of his age, that now and
+then drop from him as from the lips of a child inspired,--wherein the
+grandeur of the sentiment is so out of all proportion to the simplicity
+and absence of pretension with which it is introduced, that the reader,
+not less surprised than delighted, is scarcely able to appreciate the
+full meaning until after long and careful consideration.
+
+It is only lately that the nebular theory of condensation has been
+advanced, for the purpose of speculating upon the probable formation of
+planetary bodies. Yet it is a subject that possesses a strange
+coincidence with this passage of Shakspeare's _Tempest_.
+
+Perhaps the best elucidation I can give of it will be to cite a certain
+passage in Dr. Nichols' _Architecture of the Heavens_, which happens to
+bear a rather remarkable, although I believe an accidental, resemblance
+to Shakspeare's words: _accidental_, because if Dr. Nichols had this
+passage of the _Tempest_ present to his mind, when writing in a
+professedly popular and familiar style, he would scarcely have omitted
+allusion to it, especially as it would have afforded a peculiarly happy
+illustration of his subject.
+
+I shall now quote both passages, in order that they may be conveniently
+compared:
+
+      "Our revels now are ended--these our actors
+      As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
+      Are melted into air--INTO THIN AIR:
+      And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
+      The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
+      The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
+      Yea, all that it inherit--shall dissolve--
+      And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
+      Leave not a rack behind."
+
+  "---- in the laboratory of the chemist matter easily passes
+  through all conditions, the solid, liquid, and gaseous, as if _in
+  a sort of phantasmagoria_; and his highest discoveries even now
+  are pointing to the conclusion, that the bodies which make up the
+  solid portion of our earth may, simply by the dissolution of
+  existing combinations, _be ultimately resolved into a permanently
+  gaseous form_."--Nichols' _Architecture of the Heavens_, p. 147.
+
+Had we no other presumption to lead us to Shakspeare's true meaning but
+what is afforded by the expression, "into air--thin air," it ought, in
+my opinion, to be amply sufficient; for no rational person can entertain
+a doubt that Shakspeare intended the repetition, "thin air," to have
+reference to the simile that was to follow. The globe itself shall
+dissolve, and, like this vision, leave not a _rack_ behind! In what was
+the resemblance to the vision to consist, if not in melting, like it,
+into _thin_ air? into air unobscured by vapour, rarified from the
+slightest admixture of rack or cloud.
+
+Shakespeare knew that atmospheric rack is not insubstantial; that it is
+corporeal like the globe itself, of which it is a part; and that, so
+long as a particle of it remained, dissolution could not be complete.
+
+And shall we reject this exquisite philosophy--this profundity of
+thought--to substitute our own mean and common-place ideas?

+_Pseudo MSS._--_The Devil, Cromwell and his Amours._--It is too bad! In
+Vol. iii., p. 282., there is a good page and a half taken up with a
+verbatim extract from Echard, which has either been alluded to or quoted
+by every writer on Cromwell from Echard's time down to a few months ago,
+when it appeared in _Chambers's Papers for the People_, No. 11. Again,
+in Vol. iv., p. 19., there is another page and a half relating to
+Cromwell, which, I fearlessly assert, I have seen frequently in print,
+but cannot at present tell where; and more important avocations forbid
+me to search. As if that was not enough, in Vol. iv., p. 50. there is
+another half page respecting the preservation of these _precious MSS._!
+Is it not too bad? Do, worthy Mr. Editor, make the _amende honorable_ by
+publishing the true characters of the MSS. forwarded by S. H. H., which
+you have so inadvertently published as original.

+  [Our correspondent seems to doubt that the communications to which

+  the time of Charles II., or thereabouts; while the fact of these

+_Anonymous Ravennas_ (Vol. i., pp. 124. 220. 368.; Vol. iii., p.

+Chorography of Britain was published by Gale, "ad calcem Antonini Iter
+Britanniarum," viz., _Britanniæ Chorographia cum Autographo Regis Galliæ
+Ms'o. et Codice Vaticano collata; Adjiciuntur conjecturæ plurimæ cum

+_Margaret Maultasch_ (Vol. iv., p. 56.).--Your correspondent who
+inquires where he can meet with the particulars of the life of Margaret,
+surnamed _Maultasch_, Countess of Tyrol, will find them in the
+Supplement of the _Biographie Universelle_, vol. lxxiii. p. 136.
+
+The great heiress in question, though a monster of ugliness, was twice
+married: first to John Henry, son of Wenceslaus, King of Bohemia (1331),
+from whom she procured a divorce on the plea of his incapacity; and,
+secondly (1341), to Louis of Bavaria, eldest son of the Emperor Louis
+IV., by whom she had a son, Mainard, who died without issue during his
+mother's lifetime.
+
+I know not upon what authority rest the imputed irregularities of her
+life, but her biographer, in the article above mentioned, casts no such
+slur upon her character. Nor can I discover that the armorial bearings
+of the town of Halle, in Tyrol, have any such significant meaning as has
+been hinted at. They are to be found in Matthew Merian's _Topographia
+Provinciarum Austriacarum_, printed at Frankfort on the Maine in 1649,
+engraved on the view of Halle, at p. 139., and appear to be _a cask or
+barrel, supported by two lions_. There is _no_ statue of Margaret
+Maultasch among those which surround the mausoleum of Emperor
+_Maximilian_ (not _Matthias_) in the Franciscan church at Inspruck; but
+her ludicrously hideous features may be found amongst the historical
+portraits engraved in the magnificent work descriptive of the Museum of
+Versailles, published a few years ago at Paris, under the auspices of
+King Louis Philippe.

+_Pope's Translations or Imitations of Horace_ (Vol. i., p. 230.; Vol.
+iv., p. 58.).--Is your correspondent C. correct in attributing _A true
+Character of Mr. Pope and his Writings, in a Letter to a Friend_,
+printed for Popping, 1716, to Oldmixon? In the Testimonies of Authors,
+prefixed to the _Dunciad_, and the Appendix, and throughout the Notes,
+Dennis is uniformly quoted and attacked as the author. Oldmixon's feud
+with Pope was hardly, I think, so early.
+
+Assuming your correspondent's quotation from the pamphlet to be correct,
+the terms made use of will surely refer to Pope's _Imitation of Horace_
+(S. ii. L. i.), a fragment of which was published by Curll about this
+time (1716). It was afterwards republished in folio about 1734, printed
+for J. Boreman, under the title of _Sober Advice from Horace to the
+young Gentlemen about Town_, but in an enlarged state, and with some of
+the initials altered, and several new adaptations. Mrs. Oldfield and
+Lady Mary are not introduced in the first edition. I have both, but at
+present can only refer to the second one in folio. From this the
+_Imitation_ was transferred to the Supplement to Pope's Works,
+published by Cooper: London, 1757, 12mo., and from thence to the
+Supplementary Volumes to the later editions. The publication of it
+formed an article of impeachment against Dr. Jos. Warton, by the author
+of the _Pursuits of Literature_, as all who have read that satire will
+well remember.

+
+_Brother Jonathan_ (Vol. iii., p. 495.).--The origin of this term, as
+applied to the United States, is given in a recent number of the
+_Norwich Courier_. The editor says it was communicated by a gentleman
+now upwards of eighty years of age, who was an active participator in
+the scenes of the revolution. The story is as follows:
+
+  "When General Washington, after being appointed commander of the
+  army of the revolutionary war, came to Massachusetts to organize
+  it, and make preparations for the defence of the country, he found
+  a great want of ammunition and other means necessary to meet the
+  powerful foe he had to contend with, and great difficulty to
+  obtain them. If attacked in such condition, the cause at once
+  might be hopeless. On one occasion at that anxious period a
+  consultation of the officers and others was had, when it seemed no
+  way could be devised to make such preparations as were necessary.
+  His Excellency Jonathan Trumbull the elder was then governor of
+  the State of Connecticut, on whose judgment and aid the general
+  placed the greatest reliance, and remarked, 'We must consult
+  Brother Jonathan on the subject.' The general did so, and the
+  governor was successful in supplying many of the wants of the
+  army. When difficulties afterwards arose, and the army was spread
+  over the country, it became a by-word, 'We _must consult_ Brother
+  Jonathan.' The term Yankee is still applied to a portion, but
+  'Brother Jonathan' has now become a designation of the whole
+  country, as John Bull has for England."--_Dictionary of
+  Americanisms_, by John Russell Bartlett, 1849.

+_Cromwell's Grants of Land in Monaghan_ (Vol. iv., p. 87.).--E. A. asks
+whether there are any grants of land in the county of Monaghan recorded
+as made by Cromwell, and where such records are preserved? I fear I can
+give but a negative answer to the question: but among the stores of the
+State Paper Office are many books of orders, letters, &c. during the
+Commonwealth. Among them are two bundles dated in 1653, which relate to
+the lands granted by lot, to the adventurers who had advanced money for
+the army, in the different provinces of Ireland. Monaghan is not
+mentioned.

+_Stanedge Pole_ (Vol. iii., p. 391.).--In answer to your correspondent
+A. N., I beg to state that Stanedge Pole is between six and seven miles
+from Sheffield, on the boundary line between Yorkshire and Derbyshire,
+on a long causeway which was in former times the road from Yorkshire to
+Manchester. Its only antiquity consists in having been for centuries one
+of the meers marking the boundaries of Hallamshire. In Harrison's
+_Survey of the Manor of Sheffield_, 1637, appears an account of the
+boundaries as viewed and seen the 6th of August, 1574, from which the
+following is an extract:--
+
+  "Item. From the said Hurkling Edge so forward after the Rock to
+  Stannedge, which is a meer between the said Lordshipps (of
+  Hallamshire and Hathersedge).
+
+  "Item. From Stannedge after the same rock to a place called the
+  Broad Rake, which is also a meer between the said Lordshipps of
+  Hallamshire and Hathersedge."
+
+The situation is a very fine one, commanding a very beautiful and
+extensive view of the surrounding country.[3]

+  1463 feet.]

+_Baskerville the Printer_ (Vol. iv., p. 40.).--Baskerville was interred
+in the grounds attached to the house in which he lived, near Easy Row,
+Birmingham. The land becoming valuable for building purposes, he was,
+after lying there about half a century, disinterred and removed to the
+workshop of a lead merchant, named Marston, in Monmouth Street,
+Birmingham. While there I saw his remains. They were in a wooden coffin,
+which was enclosed in one of lead. How long they had been above ground I
+do not know, but certainly not long. This, as far as I can recollect, is
+about twenty-five years since. The person who showed me the body, and
+who was either one of the Marstons or a manager of the business, told me
+he had seen the coffins opened, and that the features were then perfect.
+When exhibited to me the nose and lips were gone, as were also two front
+teeth, which had been torn from the mouth surreptitiously and taken
+away. I understood that it was known who had them, and that they would
+be restored. The shroud was discoloured, I presume from natural causes,
+being of a dirty yellow colour, as though it had been drawn through a
+clay pit. The texture and strength of the cloth remained unaffected.
+Baskerville entertained peculiar opinions on religious subjects. There
+was a rumour of some efforts having been made to deposit his remains in
+one of the church burial grounds, but they were not successful. A year
+or two ago, while in Birmingham, a snuff-box was shown me, on the lid of
+which a portrait of Baskerville was painted, which fully agreed with a
+description of his person given me many years previously by one who had
+known him. This portrait had not, from its appearance, been painted very
+long. From its being there I infer that there is in existence at least
+one original portrait of this eminent printer.

+_Inscription on a Claymore_ (Vol. iv., p. 59.).--Is your correspondent
+"T. M. W., Liverpool," who inquires the translation of an "inscription
+on a claymore," certain that his quotation is correct? To me it appears
+that it should run thus:
+
+      [x] GOTT BEWAR DE
+      [x] _G_ERECHTE SCHOTTEN.
+
+or, "God preserve the righteous (or just) Scots;" referring, no doubt,
+to the undertaking in which they were then engaged.
+
+I believe that formerly, and probably at the present time, many of the
+finest sword blades were made abroad, and sent to England to be mounted,
+or even entirely finished on the Continent. I have in my possession a
+heavy trooper's sword, bearing the name of a celebrated German maker,
+although the ornaments and devices are unquestionably English. Another
+way of accounting for the inscription is, that it belonged to some of
+those foreign adventurers who are known to have joined Charles Edward.

+_Burton Family_ (Vol. iv., p. 22.).--In Hunter's _History of
+Hallamshire_, p. 236., is a pedigree of Burton of Royds Mill, near
+Sheffield, in which are the following remarks:--
+
+  "Richard Burton of Tutbury, Staffordshire, died May 9th, 8 Henry
+  V. Married Maud, sister of Robert Gibson of Tutbury; and had a
+  son, Sir William Burton of Falde and Tutbury, Knight; slain at
+  Towtonfield, 1461, from whom descended the Burtons of Lindley."
+
+  "Thomas Burton of Fanshawgate, who died in 1643, left three sons;
+  Michael, Thomas, and Francis. Michael was of Mosborough, and had a
+  numerous issue; the names of his children appear on his monumental
+  brass in the chancel of the church at Eckington. Thomas, the
+  second son, was of London and Putney, married, and had issue.
+  Francis, the youngest, was lord of the Manor of Dronfield, and
+  served the office of High Sheriff of Derby in 1669. Was buried at
+  Dronfield in 1687."
+
+I find no account of any Roger Burton; but if your correspondent E. H.
+A. is not in possession of the above pedigree, and should wish for a
+copy, I shall be glad to send him it.

+
+_Notation by Coalwhippers_ (Vol. iv., p. 21.).--The notation used by
+coalwhippers, &c., mentioned by I. J. C., is, after all, I expect, but a
+part of a system which was probably the origin of the Roman notation.
+The first four strokes or units were cut diagonally by the fifth, and
+taking the first and last of these strokes we readily obtain V, or the
+Roman five; but as the natural systems of arithmetic are decimal, from
+the number of fingers, it is most probable that the _tens_ were thus
+marked off, or by a stroke drawn across the last unit thus X, whence we
+obtain the Roman ten: these tens were repeated up to a hundred, or the
+second class of tens, which were probably connected by two parallel
+lines top and bottom [C], which would be the sign of the second class
+of tens, or hundreds; this became afterwards rounded into C: the third
+class of tens, or thousands, was represented by four strokes M, and
+these symbols served by abbreviation for some intermediate numbers; thus
+X divided became V, or 5, the half of 10; then L, half of [C],
+represented 50, half of 100; and M becoming rounded thus (M) was
+frequently expressed in this manner CI?; and this became abbreviated
+into D, 500, half of CI? or 1000: and thus, by variously combining
+these six symbols (though all derived from the one straight stroke),
+numbers to a very high amount could be expressed.

+_Statue of Charles II._ (Vol. iv., p. 40.).--The following passage is
+from Hughson's _History of London_, vol. ii. p. 521.:
+
+  "Among the adherents and sufferers in the cause of Charles II. was
+  Sir Robert Viner, alderman of London. After the Restoration the
+  worthy alderman, willing to show his loyalty and prudence, raised
+  in this place [_i. e._ the Stock's Market] the statue above
+  mentioned. The figure had been carved originally for John
+  Sobieski, king of Poland, but by some accident was left upon the
+  workman's hands. Finding the work ready carved to his hands, Sir
+  Robert thought that, with some alteration, what was intended for a
+  king of Poland might suit the monarch of Great Britain; he
+  therefore converted the Polander into an Englishman, and the Turk
+  underneath his horse into Oliver Cromwell; the turban on the last
+  figure being an undeniable proof of the truth attached to the
+  story. The compliment was so ridiculous and absurd, that no one
+  who beheld it could avoid reflecting on the taste of those who had
+  set it up; but as its history developed the farce improved, and
+  what was before esteemed contemptible, proved in the end
+  entertaining. The poor mutilated figure stood neglected some years
+  since among the rubbish in the purlieus of Guildhall; and in 1779,
+  it was bestowed by the common council on Robert Viner, Esq., who
+  removed it to grace his country seat."
+
+The earliest engraving of "the King at the Stock's Market" may be seen
+in Thomas Delaune's _Present State of London_, 12mo. 1681.

+_Serius, where situated?_ (Vol. iii., p. 494.).--The Serius, now Serio,
+rises in the chain of mountains in the south of the Valteline, between
+the lakes Como and Ixo: it flows through a valley called the Val Seria,
+passes near Bergamo and Cremona, and falls into the Adda a little before
+that river joins the Po.

+_Corpse passing makes a Right of Way_ (Vol. iii., pp. 477. 507.

+adjoining parish; but, instead of taking a pathway which led directly
+from the house of the deceased to the church, they kept to the
+high-road,--so going four miles instead of one. When I asked the
+reason, I was told that the pathway was not a _lich-road_, and therefore
+it was not lawful to bring a corpse along it.

+
+_The Petworth Register_ (Vol. iii., p. 510.; Vol. iv., p. 27.).--Your
+correspondents LLEWELLYN and J. S. B. do not appear to be acquainted
+with Heylyn's quotations from the book thus designated. In one place (p.
+63., folio; vol. i. p. 132., 8vo.) he refers to it for a statement--
+
+  "That many at this time [A.D. 1548] affirmed the most blessed
+  Sacrament of the altar to be of little regard," &c.
+
+And in another place (p. 65., folio; vol. i. p. 136., 8vo.), he gives an
+extract relating to Day, Bishop of Chichester:--
+
+  "Sed Ricardus Cicestrensis, (ut ipse mihi dixit) non subscripsit."
+
+Hence the _Register_ would seem to have been a sort of chronicle, kept
+by the rector of Petworth; and it does not appear whether it was or was
+not in the same volume with the register of births, marriages, and
+deaths. In the latter case, it may possibly be still in the Petworth
+parish chest; for the returns to which your correspondents refer, would
+probably not have mentioned any other registers than those of which the
+law takes cognizance. On the other hand, if the chronicle was attached
+to the register of births, &c., it may have shared the too common fate
+of early registers; for, when an order of 1597 directed the clergy to
+transcribe on parchment the entries made in the proper registers since
+the beginning of Elizabeth's reign, they seem to have generally
+interpreted it as a permission to make away with the older registers,
+although there _are_ cases in which the proper books are still
+preserved. (I am myself acquainted with two in this neighbourhood; and
+J. S. B., if I am right in identifying him with the author of the very
+curious and valuable _History of Parish Registers_, can no doubt mention
+many others.) But how did Heylyn, who collected most of his materials
+about 1638, get hold of the book?

+_Holland's "Monumenta Sepulchralia Ecclesiæ S. Pauli"_ (Vol. ii., p.
+265.; Vol. iii., p. 427.; Vol. iv., p. 62.).--Sir Egerton Brydges, in
+his _Censura Literaria_, vol. i. p. 305., attributes this work to
+_Henry_ Holland. In his notice of _Heroologia Anglica_, he says:
+
+  "The author was Henry Holland, son of Philemon Holland, a
+  physician and schoolmaster at Coventry, and the well-known
+  translator of Camden, &c. Henry was born at Coventry, and
+  travelled with John, Lord Harrington, into the Palatinate in 1613,
+  and collected and wrote (besides the _Heroologia_) _Monumenta
+  Sepulchralia Ecclesiæ S. Pauli, Lond._, 4to.; and engraved and
+  published _A Book of Kings, being a true and lively effigies of
+  all our English Kings from the Conquest till this present_, &c.,
+  1618. He was not educated either in Oxford or Cambridge; having
+  been a member of the society of Stationers in London. I think it
+  is most probable that he was brother to Abraham Holland, who
+  subscribes his name as 'Abr. Holland alumnus S. S. Trin. Coll.
+  Cantabr.' to some copies of Latin verses on the death of John,
+  second Lord Harrington, of Exton, in the _Heroologia_; which
+  Abraham was the author of a poem called _Naumachia, or Holland's
+  Sea-Fight_, Lond. 1622, and died Feb. 18, 1625, when his
+  _Posthuma_ were edited by 'his brother H. Holland.' At this time,
+  however, there were other writers of the name of Hen.

+_Mistake as to an Eclipse_ (Vol. iv., p. 58.).--From your
+correspondent's mention of it, I should have supposed Casaubon meant
+that the astronomers had been mistaken in the _calculation_ of an
+eclipse. But the matter is of another kind. In the _lunar_ eclipse of
+April 3, 1605, two _observers_, Wendelinus and Lansberg, in different
+longitudes, made the eclipse end at times far more different than their
+difference of longitudes would explain. The ending of a lunar eclipse,
+observed with the unassisted eye, is a very indefinite phenomenon.
+
+The allusion to this, made by Meric Casaubon, is only what the French
+call a _plat de son métier_. He was an upholder of the ancients in
+philosophy, and his bias would be to depreciate modern successes, and
+magnify modern failures. When he talks of the astronomer being "deceived
+in the hour," he probably uses the word _hour_ for _time_, as done in
+French and old English.

+contains many vigorous and spirited passages; but I do not believe that
+Pope gave the line as a quotation at all, or that it is other, as far as
+he is concerned, than original. The inverted commas merely denote that
+this line is the termination of the goddess's speech. The punctuation is
+not very correct in any of the editions of the _Dunciad_; and sometimes

+When Mr. Murray commenced that admirable series of _Guides_ which form
+the indispensable companion of those restless spirits who delight with
+each recurring summer--
+
+      "To waft their _size to_ Indus or the Pole,"
+
+he first sent his Schoolmaster abroad; with what success those who have
+examined, used, and trusted to his _Continental Handbooks_ best can
+tell. Whether Mr. Murray is now actuated by a spirit of patriotism, or
+of moral responsibility under the remembrance that "charity begins at
+home," we neither know nor care; since our "home-staying" friends, as
+well as all who visit us, will benefit by the new direction which his
+energy has taken. Among the first fruits of this we have Murray's
+_Handbook for Modern London_, which did not need the name of our valued
+contributor MR. PETER CUNNINGHAM at the foot of its preliminary
+advertisement to show the mint in which it was coined; for it is in
+every page marked with the same characteristics, the same laborious
+research--the same scrupulous exactness--the same clear and distinct
+arrangements, which won such deserved praise for that gentleman's
+_Handbook for London, Past and Present_. Any visitor to London, be he
+mere sight-seer or be he artist, architect, statist, &c., will find in
+this neatly printed volume the most satisfactory replies to his
+inquiries.
+
+_The Handbook to the Antiquities in the British Museum, being a
+Description of the Remains of Greek, Assyrian, Egyptian and Etruscan
+Art, preserved there_, by W. S. W. Vaux, _Assistant in the Department of
+Antiquities_, has been compiled for the purpose of laying before the
+public the contents of one department of the British Museum--that of
+antiquities--in a compendious and popular form. The attempt has been
+most successful. Mr. Vaux has not only the advantage of official
+position, but of great practical knowledge of the subject, and abundant
+scholarship to do it justice; and the consequence is, that his _Handbook
+to the Antiquities in the British Museum_ will be found not only most
+useful for the special object for which it has been written, but a
+valuable introduction to the study of Early Art.
+
+There are probably no objects in the Great Exhibition which have
+attracted more general attention than the Stuffed Animals exhibited by
+Herrmann Ploucquet, of Stuttgart. Prince and peasant, old and young, the
+pale-faced student deep in Goethe and Kaulbach, and the hard-handed
+agriculturist who picked up his knowledge of nature and natural history
+while plying his daily task,--have all gazed with delight on the
+productions of this accomplished artist. That many of these admirers
+will be grateful to Mr. Bogue for having had daguerreotypes of some of
+the principal of these masterpieces taken by M. Claudet, and engravings
+made from them on wood as faithfully as possible, we cannot doubt: and
+to all such we heartily recommend _The Comical Creatures from
+Wurtemburg; including the Story of Reynard the Fox, with Twenty
+Illustrations_. The letter-press by which the plates are accompanied is
+written in a right Reynardine spirit; and whether as a memorial of the
+Exhibition--of the peculiar talent of the artist--or as a gift book for
+children--this pretty volume deserves to be widely circulated.

+BOOKS RECEIVED.--Neander's _General History of the Christian Religion
+and Church_, vol. iv., is the new volume of Bohn's _Standard Library_;
+and it speaks very emphatically for the demand for cheap editions of
+works of learning and research that it can answer Mr. Bohn's purpose to
+issue a translation of such a book as this by the great ecclesiastical
+historian of Germany in its present form.
+
+_The Stone Mason of Saint Pont, a Village Tale from the French of De
+Lamartine_, a new volume of Bohn's cheap series, is a tale well
+calculated to stir the sympathy of the reader, and to waken in him
+thoughts too deep for tears. It must prove one of the most popular among
+the works of imagination included in the series; as its companion
+volume, _Monk's Contemporaries, Biographic Studies of the English
+Revolution, by M. Guizot_, must take a high place among the historical
+works. M. Guizot describes his Sketches as "constituting, together with
+Monk, a sort of gallery of portraits, in which persons of the most
+different character appear in juxtaposition;" and a most interesting
+study they make--not the less, perhaps, because, as the author candidly
+avows, "in spite of the great diversity of manners, contemporary
+comparisons and applications will present themselves at every step,
+however careful we may be not to seek them."

+
+  "The best antiquarian handbook we have ever met with--so clear is
+  its arrangement, and so well and so plainly is each subject
+  illustrated by well-executed engravings.... It is the joint
+  production of two men who have already distinguished themselves as
+  authors and antiquarians."--_Morning Herald._
+
+  "A book of remarkable interest and ability.... Mr. Worsaae's book
+  is in all ways a valuable addition to our literature.... Mr. Thoms
+  has executed the translation in flowing and idiomatic English, and
+  has appended many curious and interesting notes and observations
+  of his own."--_Guardian._
+
+  "The work, which we desire to commend to the attention of our

+  THE SEVEN PERIODS OF ENGLISH ARCHITECTURE DEFINED AND ILLUSTRATED.
+  An Elementary Work, affording at a single glance a comprehensive
+  view of the History of English Architecture, from the Heptarchy to
+  the Reformation. By EDMUND SHARPE, M.A., Architect.
+
+  "Mr. Sharpe's reasons for advocating changes in the nomenclature
+  of Rickman are worthy of attention, coming from an author who has
+  entered very deeply into the analysis of Gothic architecture, and
+  who has, in his 'Architectural Parallels,' followed a method of
+  demonstration which has the highest possible
+  value."--_Architectural Quarterly Review._
+
+  "The author of one of the noblest architectural works of modern
+  times. His 'Architectural Parallels' are worthy of the best days
+  of art, and show care and knowledge of no common kind. All his
+  lesser works have been marked in their degree by the same careful
+  and honest spirit. His attempt to discriminate our architecture
+  into periods and assign to it a new nomenclature, is therefore
+  entitled to considerable respect."--_Guardian._

+  SERMONS. By the Rev. ALFRED GATTY, M.A., Vicar of Ecclesfield.
+
+  "In the effective simplicity with which Mr. Gatty applies the
+  incidents and precepts of the Gospel to the every-day concerns of
+  life, he has no superior. His faith is that of a sincere and
+  genuine scriptural Churchman."--_Britannia._
+
+  "Of all sermons I have ever seen, they are by far the best adapted
+  to such congregations as I have had to preach to; at any rate, in
+  my opinion. And, as a further proof of their adaptation to the
+  people's wants (and indeed the best proof that could be given), I
+  have been requested by some of my parishioners to lend them
+  sermons, which were almost _verbatim et literatim_ transcripts of
+  yours. That you may judge of the extent to which I have been
+  indebted to you, I may mention that out of about seventy sermons
+  which I preached at W--, five or six were Paley's and fifteen or
+  sixteen yours. For my own credit's sake I must add, that all the
+  rest were entirely my own."--_Extracted from the letter of a

+  Oriel College, Oxford.
+
+  "Their style is simple, the sentences are not artfully
+  constructed, and there is an utter absence of all attempt at
+  rhetoric. The language is plain Saxon language, from which 'the
+  men on the wall' can easily gather what it most concerns them to
+  know."
+
+  "Again, the range of thought is not high and difficult, but level,
+  and easy for the wayfaring man to follow. It is quite evident that
+  the author's mind was able and cultivated, yet, as a teacher to
+  men of low estate, he makes no display of eloquence or
+  argument."--_Theologian._
+
+  "Plain, short, and affectionate discourses."--_English Review._

+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.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+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.
