+
+THOMAS MORE AND JOHN FISHER.
+
+Although I am afraid "NOTES AND QUERIES" may not be considered as open
+to contributions purely bibliographical, and admitting I am uncertain
+whether the following copy of the treatise of John Fisher, Bishop of
+Rochester, has been before noted, I am induced to send this extract from
+Techener's _Bulletin du Bibliophile_ for May 1851. The book is in the
+library at Douai.
+
+  "This Treatise concernynge the fruytful Saynges of David the King
+  and prophete in the seven penytencyall psalmes, devyded in _ten_
+  sermons, was made and compyled by the ryght reverente fader in god
+  Johan Fyssher, doctour of dyvinyte and bysshop of Rochester, at
+  the exortacion and sterynge of the most excellent pryncesse
+  Margarete, Countesse of Richemount and Derby, and moder to out
+  souverayne Lorde Kynge H[=e]ry the VII."
+
+It is described as a small 4to., printed upon vellum, in Gothic letters,
+at London, 1508, by Wynkyn de Worde, and contains 146 leaves. On the
+first leaf it has a portcullis, crowned with the motto "Dieu et mon
+Droit." On the recto of the last leaf there is--
+
+  "Here endeth the exposycyon of the 7 psalmes. Enprynted at London
+  in the fletestrete, at the sygne of ye Sonne, by Wynkyn de Worde.
+  In the yere of oure lorde M.CCCCC.VIII. ye 16 day of ye moneth of
+  Juyn. The XXIII. yere of ye reygne of our souverayne Lorde Kynge
+  H[=e]ry the Seventh."
+
+At the back, there is the sun, the monogram of Wynkyn de Worde--the
+letters W. C. displayed as usual--and beneath, "Wynkyn de Worde."
+
+At the beginning of the book, "sur une garde en vélin" (a fly-leaf of
+vellum?), there is written in a very neat hand the following ten verses,
+the profession of faith of Thomas Morus and of his friend John Fisher,
+Bishop of Rochester:
+
+      "The surest meanes for to attaine
+      The perfect waye to endlesse blisse
+      Are happie lief and to remaine
+      W'thin ye church where virtue is;
+      And if thy conscience be sae sounde
+      To thinse thy faith is truth indeede
+      Beware in thee noe schisme be founde
+      That unitie may have her meede;
+      If unitie thow doe embrace
+      In heaven (_en_?)joy possesse thy place."
+
+Beneath--
+
+      "Qui non rectè vivit in unitate ecclesiæ
+      Catholicæ, salvus esse non potest."
+
+And lower on the same page--
+
+      "Thomas Morus d[=n]s cancellarius Angliæ
+      Joh. Fisher Epûs Roffensis."
+
+It is traditionally reported, upon the testimony of some Anglican
+Benedictines (an order now extinct), that the lines which contain the
+profession of faith, and those which follow, are in the handwriting of
+Bishop Fisher, and that the work was presented by him to the
+chancellor, during their imprisonment, when by order of Henry VIII. the
+chancellor was denied the consolation of his books.
+
+In the same library there is a fine Psalter, which belonged to Queen
+Elizabeth. The _Livre d'Heures_ of Mary Queen of Scots was here also to
+be found: "Maria, glorious martyr and Queen of Scotland." It is
+conjectured these books were brought to Douai by the fugitive English
+Roman Catholic priests. In 1790 their collections were confiscated and
+given to the public library of Douai. It would be of interest to
+ascertain, if possible, the authenticity of the _Heures à l'Usage_,
+stated to have belonged to Mary Queen of Scots. Upon this point one may
+be permitted to be sceptical. I have myself seen two. One of these, it
+was said, had been used by Mary on the scaffold, and contained a note in
+the handwriting, as I think, of James II. attesting the fact. It was
+understood to have been obtained from a monastery in France. The other,
+a small Prayer Book MS. in vellum, of good execution, had the signature
+"M." with a line I think over it of "O Lord, deliver me from my
+enemies!" in French. I am, however, now writing from memory, and, in the
+first case, of very many years.
+
+Whether the line, "Maria, glorious martyr and Queen of Scotland," be
+written in the Psalter, or has been added by the mental excitement of M.
+Duthilloeul, the librarian at Douai, I cannot decide. The grand
+culmination of "and Queen of Scotland" forms doubtless a very striking
+anti-thesis: but neither the possessor of the book nor a priest would
+have so sunk the martyr, although a woman and a queen were alike
+concerned, as this line does. Lowndes states there is a copy of the
+bishop's treatise on vellum at Cambridge. A copy is in the British
+Museum; but the title, according, to Lowndes, has _seven_ sermons. It
+will be observed the title now given has _ten_.

+NOTES ON NEWSPAPERS.
+
+The social elements of society in the seventeenth century were more
+simple in their character and development than at the present period.
+The population was comparatively small, and therefore the strivings for
+success in any pursuit did not involve that severe conflict which is so
+frequently the case in the present day. Society then was more of a
+community than it is now. It had not public bodies to aid it. It was
+left more to its own inherent resources for reciprocal good, and for
+mutual help. The temptations to evade and dissemble, in matters of
+business, or private and public negotiations, were not so strong as they
+now are. Its transactions were more transparent and defined, because
+they were fewer and less complicated than many of our own. We readily
+grant that society now, in its social, religious, and commercial
+aspects, enjoys advantages immeasurably superior to those of any former
+period; still there are some few advantages which it had then, that it
+cannot possess now. The following advertisements, from the newspapers of
+the time, will illustrate the truth of the foregoing remarks:
+
+From a _Collection for Improvement of Husbandry and Trade_.
+
+  Friday, January 26, 1693/4.
+
+  "One that is fit to keep a Warehouse, be a Steward, or do any
+  Business that can be supposed an intelligent Man that has been a
+  Shopkeeper is fit for, and can give any Security that can be
+  desired, as far as Ten Thousand Pound goes, and has some Estate of
+  his own, desires an Employment of One hundred Pounds a year, or
+  upwards. I can give an account of him."
+
+That a man having 10,000_l._ to give as security, and in possession of
+an estate, should require a situation of 100_l._ per annum, sounds oddly
+enough in our ears. "I can give an account of him," denotes that the
+editor was a man well known and duly appreciated. He appears to have
+been a scribe useful in many ways. He was known, and knowing.
+
+  Friday, February 2, 1693/4.
+
+  "A very eminent Brewer, and one I know to be a very honest
+  Gentleman, wants an Apprentice. I can give an account of him."
+
+In what sense the word "honest" must here be taken it is difficult to
+define. As an eminent brewer, we should naturally conclude he must have
+been an honest man. He is here very eminent and very honest.
+
+  Friday March 16, 1693/4.
+
+  "Many Masters want Apprentices, and many Youths want Masters. If
+  they apply themselves to me, I'll strive to help them. Also for
+  variety of valuable services."
+
+Here is the editor of a paper offering his help to masters and
+apprentices for their mutual good. Let us suppose an advertisement of
+this kind appearing in _The Times_ of our own day. Printing-house Square
+would not contain a tithe of the individuals who would present
+themselves for the reception of this accommodating aid. In such a case
+the editors (as it regards their particular duties) would be cyphers,
+for a continuous absorption of their time would necessarily occur in the
+carrying out of this benevolent offer. This advertisement may be
+considered as _multum in parvo_, giving the wants of the many in an
+announcement of three or four lines, connecting them with a variety of
+services which in those days were thought to be valuable. How greatly
+are we assisted by these little incidents in forming correct views of
+the state of society at that period.
+
+The next advertisement shows the value set upon the services of one who
+was to perform the duties of a clerk, and to play well on the violin.
+
+  "If any young Man that plays well on a Violin, and writes a good
+  Hand, desires a Clerkship, I can help him to Twenty Pounds a
+  year."
+
+Of course twenty pounds was of more value then than it is now: still it
+seems a small sum for the performance of such duties, for twelve months.
+Here is musical talent required for the amusement of others, in
+combination with the daily duties of a particular profession. An
+efficient musician, and a good writer, and all for 20_l._ per annum! We
+learn by the editor's "I can help him," his readiness to assist all who
+would advertise in his journal, to obtain those employments which their
+advertisements specified.
+
+  Friday, April 6, 1694.
+
+  "A Grocer of good business desires an Apprentice of good growth."
+
+The "good growth" must have been intended to convey the idea of height
+and strength.
+
+My next article shall be devoted to advertisements of another class,
+further illustrating the state of society and the peculiarities of the
+people at the end of the seventeenth century.

+
+TREATISE OF EQUIVOCATION.
+
+As having originated the inquiry in "NOTES AND QUERIES"[1] respecting
+this Treatise, under the signature of J. M., I feel great obligation
+both to the editor of that journal, and the editor of the Treatise
+itself, for having brought it to light by publication, and added it to
+the stock of accurate and very important historical information. Indeed,
+a real vacancy was left for it; and it is a subject of high
+self-gratulation, that a boon previously, and for a length of time,
+hidden and unproductive, is now accessible and operative without limit.
+I have no doubt that all your readers, and the whole reading public,
+join with me in rejoicing that the editorship of the work has fallen
+into hands so competent and so successful.
+
+  [Footnote 1: Vol. i., pp. 263. 357.; Vol. ii., pp. 136. 168. 446.
+  490.]
+
+I was, not for ten, but twenty years or more, in quest of the MS. now so
+happily made public property, and should have fallen upon it much
+earlier, but for the misleading title under which it appears, where it
+_is_ really; for it has been found. In the _Catalogus Lib. MSS._: Ox.
+1697, among the Laudian MSS. appears, p. 62., "968.95. _A Treatise_
+against _Equivocation, or fraudulent Dissimulation_." _Against!_ when no
+such word is in the original, and the real matter and meaning is _for_!
+I had, at some early time, marked the very entry; but presuming that the
+work had been actually _printed_ (which I believe it was in a very few
+copies, which have disappeared), naturally enough I did not pursue the
+search in that direction. Others, I am happy, have, and I am gratified.
+
+The work is very important; for there is not a work more evidently
+genuine and authentic than this is proved to be by plain historic
+evidence, both as to the document itself and the facts which it attests.
+The witness, or witnesses, appearing in it, give their testimony
+respecting themselves with the most unsuspectable simplicity. They meant
+not, and have not, misrepresented themselves: they have proclaimed their
+own doctrine for themselves respecting Equivocation and Mental
+Reservation--the last of which is really of most importance; and it was
+most needful to the Roman body at the time, and under their
+circumstances. Their object, for mere safety, was concealment as to
+their resorts or residences. They could not exist, as they did, without
+the assistance and knowledge of many individuals, some of inferior
+class. Against the incessant inquiries to which they were exposed they
+had no defence, except the power of disappointing or misleading by
+ambiguity or deception, which was completely secured by reserved
+termination in the mind to any uttered declaration. Now, there is in
+this very Treatise _plain admission_ that all the co-religionists of the
+endangered party, particularly a lady who is distinctly noticed, were
+not convinced of the moral rectitude of such a procedure; and it was
+necessary, or expedient, that their hesitation should be removed. And
+this seems to be the main object of the present work. How far it has
+succeeded must depend upon the evidence which is adduced.
+
+We have generally had the doctrine of the Roman body on the subject of
+the Treatise presented by opponents; here we have it as deliberately
+stated by themselves. There is a passage rather observable in p. 103.,
+beginning at the bottom and extending to the words "he hath no such
+meaning to tell them," of which we are not acquainted with a duplicate.
+But the whole has something of the freshness and interest of novelty.
+
+_Macbeth_, it is agreed, I believe, was written in 1607, consequently
+after the Powder Plot, when the doctrine before us was brought forward
+pointedly against the traitors. Might there not be some reference to the
+fact in the Second Act, where the porter of the castle, roused by
+repeated knockings, on the murder, after other exclamations in the
+manner of the poet, proceeds:
+
+  "Here's an Equivocator, that could swear in both the scales,
+  against either scale: who committed treason enough for God's sake,
+  yet could not equivocate to heaven. Oh, come in, Equivocator"?
+
+Mr. Jardine will thank your correspondent for pointing out an error or
+two which should be corrected in another edition. At p. 44., for
+"χθο," in the margin, should be printed "_sub verbo_." The
+word in the MS. is a contraction to that effect: the capital "V" has a
+curved stroke across the first line of the "V," followed by "_bo_."
+Generally the _Dubium_, in alphabetic works of the kind referred to,
+ranks under some alphabetic word, one or more, as it may happen; but in
+Em. Sà's work the word _Dubium_ comes under the letter D., and this is
+meant to be expressed. At p. 49. the footnote should be omitted, as the
+Vulgate, which is followed, calls the 1st of _Samuel_ the 1st of
+_Kings_. The first line of p. 56. should have "_autem_" instead of
+"_antea_." I have inspected the MS. carefully, and therefore speak with
+confidence.

+NOTES ON VIRGIL.
+
+(_Continued from_ p. 308.)
+
+      IV. "Illum expirantem transfixo pectore flammas
+          Turbine corripuit scopuloque infixit acuto."
+
+          Virg. _Æn._ I. 48.
+
+  "TURBINE; volubilitate ventorum. SCOPULO; saxo
+  eminenti."--_Servius._
+
+  "Hub sie im Wirbel empor, und spiesst' an ein scharfes Gestein
+  ihn."--_Voss._
+
+  "Ipsum vero Pallas fulmine percussum procellæ vi scopulo etiam
+  allisit."--_Heyne._
+
+  "Impegit rupi acutæ."--_Ruæus._
+
+  "Infixit. _Inflixit_, lectionem quorundam MSS. facile prætulissem,
+  et quod statim præcesserit _transfixo_, unde evadit inconcinna
+  cognatæ dictionis repetitio, et quod etiam Æn. x. 303.:
+
+      "'Namque inflicta vadis, dorso dum pendet iniquo,'
+
+  "si Sidon. Apoll. v. 197. haud tueretur vulgatam scripturam:
+
+                           "'Fixusque Capharei
+      Cautibus, inter aquas flammam ructabat Oileus.'"--_Wakefield._
+
+To which criticism of Wakefields's, Forbiger adds: "Præterea etiam acuto
+scopulo _infigendi_ voc. accommodatius videtur quam _infligendi_." And
+Wagner: "acuto scopulo _infigi_ melius."
+
+This interpretation and these criticisms are founded altogether on a
+false conception of the meaning of the word _infigere_, which is never
+to fix _on_, but always either to fix _in_, or to fix _with_, i.e.
+pierce _with_. _Scopulo infixit acuto_, _fixed or pinned_ down or to the
+ground _with_ a sharp rock; _i.e._ hurled a sharp-pointed rock on him,
+so as to nail him to the ground. So (_Æn._ XII. 721.) "Cornua obnixi
+infigunt," fix their horns, not _on_, but _in_; infix their horns; stick
+their horns into each other; stick each other with their horns: _q.d._
+Cornibus se mutuo infigunt: and, exactly parallel to our text:
+
+      "Saturnius me sic _infixit_ Jupiter,
+      Jovisque numen Mulcibri adscivit manus.
+      Hos ille _cuneos_ fabrica crudeli _inserens_,
+      Perrupit artus; qua miser sollertia
+      Transverberatus, castrum hoc Furiarum incolo."
+
+      Cicero (translating from Æschylus), _Tuscul. Quæst._ II. 10.
+
+In confirmation of this view of the passage, I may observe: 1st, that it
+is easier to imagine a man staked to the ground by a sharp-pointed rock,
+than flung on a sharp-pointed rock, so as to remain permanently impaled
+on it; and 2dly, that the account given of the transaction, both by
+Quintus Calaber and Seneca, agree as perfectly with this view as they
+disagree with the opposite:
+
+      Καί νύ κεν ἐξήλυξε κακὸν μόρον, εἰ μὴ ἄρ'αὐτῷ,
+
+      ῥήξας αἶαν ἔνερθεν, ἐπιπροέηκε κολώνην·
+
+      εὖτε πάρος μεγάλοιο κατ' Ἐγκελάδοιο δαΐφρων
+
+      Παλλὰς ἀειραμένη Σικελὴν ἐπικάββαλε νῆσον·
+
+      ἦ ῥ' ἔτι καίεται αἰὲν ὑπ' ἀκαμάτοιο Γίγαντος,
+
+      αἰθαλόεν πνείοντος ἔσω χθονός· ὡς ἄρα Λοκρῶν
+
+      ἀμφεκάλυψεν ἄνακτα δυσάμμορον οὔρεος ἄκρη,
+
+      ὑψόθεν ἐξεριποῦσα, βάρυνε δὲ καρτερὸν ἄνδρα·
+
+      ἀμφὶ δέ μιν θανάτοιο μέλας ἐκιχήσατ' ὄλεθρος,
+
+      γαίῃ ὁμῶς δμηθέντα καὶ ἀκαμάτῳ ἐνὶ πόντῳ.
+
+      Quintus Calab. XIV. 579.
+
+And so Seneca; who, having presented us with Ajax clinging to the rock
+to which he had swum for safety, after his ship had been sunk, and
+himself struck with lightning, and there uttering violent imprecations
+against the Deity, adds:
+
+                "Plura cum auderet furens,
+      Tridente rupem subruit pulsam pater
+      Neptunus, imis exerens undis caput,
+      Solvitque montem; quem cadens secum tulit:
+      Terraque et igne victus et pelago jacet."
+
+      _Agam._ 552.
+
+And, so also, beyond doubt, we are to understand Sidonius
+Apollinaris's--
+
+                                "Fixusque Capharei
+      Cautibus, inter aquas flammam ructabat Oileus."
+
+Not, with Wakefield and the other commentators, _fixed on_ the rocks of
+Caphareus, but, _pierced with_ the rocks of Caphareus, and lying under
+them. Compare (_Æn._ IX. 701.) "fixo pulmone," the pierced lung; "fixo
+cerebro" (_Æn._ XII. 537.); "verubus trementia figunt" (_Æn._ I. 216.),
+not, fix _on_ the spits, but, stick or pierce _with_ the spits; and
+especially (Ovid. _Ibis._ 341.),
+
+      "Viscera sic aliquis scopulus tua figat, ut olim
+        Fixa sub Euboico Graia fuere sinu,"
+

+
+TURBINE. SCOPULO.--Not two instruments, _a whirlwind and a rock_, but
+one single instrument, _a whirling rock_; scopulo turbineo; in modo
+turbinis se circumagente; as if Virgil had said, Solo affixit illum
+correptum et transverberatum scopulo acuto in eum maxima vi rotato: or,
+more briefly, Turbine scopuli acuti corripuit et infixit. Compare:
+
+      "Præcipitem scopulo atque ingentis turbine saxi
+      Excutit effunditque solo."--_Æn._ XII. 531.
+
+                            "Stupet obvia leto
+      Turba super stantem, atque emissi turbine montis
+      Obruitur."--Stat. _Theb._ II. 564.
+
+      "Idem altas turres saxis et turbine crebro
+      Laxat."--Stat. _Theb._ X. 742.
+
+So understood, 1st, the passage is according to Virgil's usual manner,
+the latter part of the line explaining and defining the general
+statement contained in the former; and, 2ndly, Pallas kills her enemy,
+not by the somewhat roundabout and unusual method of first striking him
+with thunder, and then snatching him up in a whirlwind, and then either
+dashing him against a sharp rock, and leaving him impaled there, or, as
+I have shown is undoubtedly the meaning, impaling him with a sharp rock,
+but by the more compendious and less out-of-the-way method of first
+striking him with thunder, and then whirling a sharp-pointed rock on top
+of him, so as to impale him.
+
+From Milton's imitation of this passage, in his _Paradise Lost_ (ii.
+180.), it appears that even he fell into the general and double error:
+
+      "Caught in a fiery tempest shall be hurled,
+      Each on his rock transfixed."
+
+Caro's translation shows that he had no definite idea whatever of the
+meaning:
+
+                          "A tale un turbo
+      In preda il diè; che per acuti scogli
+      Miserabil ne fe' rapina, e scempio."

+      V. "Ast ego, quæ Divûm incedo regina, Jovisque
+         Et soror et conjux, una cum gente tot annos
+         Bella gero."--_Æn._ I. 50.
+
+  "'INCEDERE' wird besonders von der feierlichen, würdevollen
+  Haltung im Gange gebraucht: vers 500, von der Dido, 'Regina
+  incessit.' (Ruhnk. zu _Terent. And._ I. i. 100. _Eun._ v. 3. 9.)
+  Deshalb der majestätischen Juno eigenthümlich, Ἡραῖον
+  βαδίζειν. Also nicht für _sum_, sondern ganz
+  eigentlich."--_Thiel._
+
+      "But I who walk in awful state above."
+
+      _Dryden._
+
+  "_Incedere_ est _ingredi_, sed proprie cum quadam pompa et
+  fastu."--_Gesner._
+
+  "Incessus dearum, imprimis Junonis, gravitate sua
+  notus."--_Heyne._
+
+And so also Holdsworth and Ruæus.
+
+I think, on the contrary, that _incedo_, both here and elsewhere,
+expresses only the stepping or walking motion generally, and that the
+character of the step or walk, if inferable at all, is to be inferred
+only from the context. Accordingly, "Magnifice incedit" (Liv. II. 6.);
+"Turpe incedere" (Catull. XXXXII. 8.); "Molliter incedit" (Ovid, _Amor._
+II. 23.); "Passu incedit inerti" (Ovid, _Metam._ II. 772.); "Melius est
+incessu regem quam imperium regno claudicare" (Justin. VI. ii. 6.);
+"Incessus omnibus animalibus certus et uniusmodi, et in suo, cuique,
+genere" (Plin. X. 38.).
+
+The emphasis, therefore, is on _regina_, and the meaning is, _I who
+step, or walk, QUEEN of the Gods_; the dignity of the step being not
+expressed by "incedo," but inferable from "regina." The expression
+corresponds exactly to "ibit regina" (_Æn._ II. 578.); with this
+difference only, that "ibit" does not, like "incedo," specify motion on
+foot.
+
+"Jovisque et soror et conjux."--Both the _ets_ are emphatic. "Jovisque
+_et_ soror _et_ conjux."
+
+"Bella" expresses the organised resistance which she meets, and the
+uncertainty of the issue; and being placed first word in the line is
+emphatic.

+_Verses presented to General Monck._--The subjoined notice of a curious
+entry in the records of the Belfast corporation may be acceptable. The
+author is unknown. They are inscribed, "Verses to General Monck," and,
+as the last six lines show, are an attack on the Rump Parliament:--
+
+      Advants George Monck, and Monck St. George shall be,
+      England's restorer to its liberty,
+      Scotland's protector, Ireland's president,
+      Reducing all to affree parliament.
+      And if thou dost intend the other thing,
+      Go on, and all shall cry God save ye king.
+
+        R. R doth rebellion represent,
+        V. By V nought else but villainy is meant,
+        M. M murther signifies all men doe knowe,
+        P. P perjuries in fashion grow.
+
+            Then R and V with M and P
+            Conjoined make up our misery.
+
+The occasion of their presentation is unknown. General Monck took
+Belfast in 1646 from the Scotch, who being true Presbyterians of the
+older school, had turned against the parliament. This was the probable
+occasion of their being presented to the future restorer of King Charles
+II.

+_Justice to Pope Pius V._--You have done yourself credit by exonerating
+Queen Elizabeth from a charge the easiest to bring, and the most
+difficult to rebut, implying the proof of a negative; and therefore
+frequently brought by the unprincipled. I propose, as a counterpart, to
+exonerate Pope Pius V. from an imputation, mistakingly, though unjustly,
+cast upon him by an authority of no less weight than that of Sir Walter
+Scott. In his edition of _Somers's Tracts_, vol. i. p. 192., occurs a
+note on a place in the _execution of justice_: "Pius V. resolved to make
+his bastard son, Boncompagni, Marquis of Vincola, King of Ireland," &c.
+For this assertion no authority is cited, nor indeed could be. The very
+name might have suggested the filiation to his successor, Gregory XIII.,
+which was the fact. In a work, not much known, _The Burnt Child dreads
+the Fire, &c._, by William Denton, M.D., London, 1675, at p. 25. we
+read, "Gregory XIII. had a bastard, _James Buon Compagna_, and to him he
+gave _Ireland_, and impowered _Stewkely_ with men, arms, and money, to
+conquer it for him."[2] There is no reason to doubt, that with the
+editor of the _Tracts_ the above imputation was a simple mistake; but it
+is an important duty of all who interfere with historical literature, to
+state and correct every discovered instance of the kind.
+
+  [Footnote 2: Camden, in his _Elizabeth_, under 1578, states the
+  fact without mention of the name, only calling him "the pope's
+  bastard;" but the date is the sixth year of the pontificate of
+  Gregory XIII.]

+CROSSES AND CRUCIFIXES.
+
+In the 22nd volume of the _Archæologia_, p. 58., is the following
+passage:
+
+  "The cross, which does not appear to have been peculiar to
+  Christianity, when introduced on these obelisks, is usually filled
+  with tracery."
+
+The obelisks, or stones of memorial, referred to are the subjects of a
+very interesting paper communicated by Mr. Logan to the Society of
+Antiquaries. (See Plates 2, 3, 4, and 5.) I am desirous of being
+informed what authenticated instances there are of crosses, or stones
+marked with crosses, being used for landmarks, memorials, or for any
+other purpose, civil or religious, before the introduction of
+Christianity? I have met with one instance. Prescott, in his _History of
+Mexico_, relates that--
+
+  "In the court of one of the temples in the island of Columel he
+  was amazed by the sight of a cross of stone and lime, about ten
+  palms high."
+
+It was the emblem of the god of rain (See vol. i. p. 240., &c.)
+
+In the same paper Mr. Logan observes--
+
+  "Crosses, or stones on which the figure was traced, marked a place
+  of meeting for certain districts; and within memory of man a fair
+  was held on this spot. It is not improbable that market-crosses
+  may be deduced from this custom."
+
+It seems that every town that had the privilege of a market or fair (I
+am speaking of England) had a market-cross. In most of these towns the
+cross has disappeared, and in its place a ball or globe has been mounted
+on the shaft; but the term "market-cross" is still in use. In the town
+of Giggleswick, in the parish of Giggleswick, there is a perfect
+market-cross, the cross being what is, I believe, called a cross-fleury.
+In the town of Settle, in the same parish of Giggleswick, the ball or
+globe is placed on the top of the shaft. Are there other instances of
+market towns in which the cross is still found?
+
+I passed through a market town lately in which the stone steps, and
+socket in which the shaft was placed, are preserved; but they have been
+removed to one corner of the market-place. The shaft and cross have
+disappeared.
+
+Is not this erection of the cross, in places in which markets and fairs
+were held, of ecclesiastical origin? Was the cross erected by licence
+granted by the bishop within whose jurisdiction it was placed? Is there
+any grant of such licence in existence? Or did these crosses originate
+in the gratuitous piety of our ancestors? I fear to ask the question,
+whether the buyers and sellers under the cross are more upright in their
+dealings than those who buy and sell without the presence of this emblem
+of all that is true and just. Is the cross erected in the cities and
+towns of other states, as in England? Was the custom general in Europe?
+
+    F. W. J.
+
+Mr. Curzon states, in the introduction to his _Monasteries of the
+Levant_, that--
+
+  "The crucifix was not known before the fifth or sixth century,
+  though the cross was always the emblem of the Christian faith."
+
+I am persuaded that this assertion is incorrect, and that the crucifix
+was used in much earlier times. Will some one kindly inform me where the
+first mention of it is to be found, and what is the date of the earliest
+examples now known?

+MASTER OF THE BUCKHOUNDS.
+
+In reading the _Topographer_ for January 1791 (a work which was
+published under the editorship of my uncle, Sir Egerton Brydges), I was
+surprised to find, in an account of the family of Brocas, of
+Beaurepaire, in the county of Hampshire, that the post of Master of the
+Buckhounds had been sold in the reign of James I.
+
+Mr. Gough (_Sepulchral Monuments_, pp. 160, 161.) appears to be the
+authority quoted who describes the monument of Sir Bernard Brocas, Kt.,
+as existing at Westminster, and having on it an inscription in which is
+the following sentence:
+
+  "Sir Bernard succeeded to the paternal inheritance both in England
+  and France, and having married Mary, daughter and heiress of Sir
+  John de Roche, had a large estate with her, and the hereditary
+  post of Master of the Buckhounds; which was confirmed to him by
+  King Edward the Third, and held by the family, till sold in James
+  the First's reign."
+
+I have no means of ascertaining at the present time whether this
+monument is still in existence or not; nor indeed has that much to do
+with the object of my writing, which is to suggest the following
+Queries, in the hope that some of your correspondents may be able to
+send satisfactory answers.
+
+1. By whom was the post of Master of the Buckhounds first instituted,
+and who was the first Master?
+
+2. Is there any list of persons holding this office; and if so, where
+may it be seen?
+
+3. Is there any instance of an unmarried lady having held it: for in the
+case before us we see that a lady was able to convey it by inheritance
+to her husband?
+
+4. By whom was it sold? Was it by the last hereditary possessor; and if
+so, what was his name? Or was it by the king, on the death of one of the
+possessors, for the purpose of enriching himself?
+
+5. Is it known whether there is any other instance of its having been
+sold: and when did it come to be, as now, a ministerial office?

+300. "_No Cross no Crown._"--Where did Penn get the title of his
+well-known work? St. Paulinus, Bishop of Nola, in allusion to the custom
+of crowning crosses, has these lines:--
+
+      "Cerne coronatam Domini super _atria Christi_,
+      Stare crucem, duro spondentem celsa labori
+      Præmia: _tolle crucem, qui vis auferre coronam_."
+
+      "See how the cross of Christ a crown entwines:
+      High o'er God's temple it refulgent shines;
+      Pledging bright guerdon for each passing pain:
+      Take up the cross, if thou the crown would'st gain."
+
+Vide Dr. Rock's _Hierurgia_. Quarles says, in his _Esther_:

+302. _Pegs and Thongs for Rowing: Torture among the Athenians._--Dr.
+Schmitz (in Smith's _Antiq._, article SHIPS) speaks of "the pegs,
+σκαλμοί, _between which the oars move[d]_, and to which they
+were fastened by a thong, τροπωτήρ." What is the authority for
+two pegs, _between which_, &c? A single peg and thong, as still in
+frequent use, would be intelligible!
+
+Dr. Smith observes (ap. id. p. 1139.) that the decree of Scamandrius,
+which ordained that no free Athenian should be tortured, "does not
+appear to have interdicted torture as a means of execution, _since_ we
+find Demosthenes (_de Cor._ 271.) reminding the judges that they had put
+Antiphon to death by the rack." Does it not escape him that Antiphon was
+_then an alien_, having suffered expulsion from the Lexiarchic list.

+inscription:--
+
+            "SARAH MATTOCKS,
+                Aged 27.
+        Much lamented by her husband,
+      Lieutenant-Colonel JOHN MATTOCKS.
+        Was the grand-daughter of the
+          Great JOHN HAMDEN, Esq.,
+          Of St. James's, Westminster."
+
+In the following number (dated 11th September, 1851), the editor offers
+an apology for having omitted the date of the decease of Mrs. Mattocks,
+viz. 1778; and then remarks that--
+
+  "As she was twenty-seven years old at her death, she must have
+  been born in 1751; it was therefore impossible that she should
+  have been the grand-daughter of the great John Hampden, that died
+  in 1643, one hundred and eight years before her birth."

+306. _Cicada or Tettigonia Septemdecim._--In Latrobe's _Rambler in North
+America_, London, 1835, vol. ii. p. 290., is a curious account of this
+insect, which visits Pennsylvania every seventeenth year, and appears
+about May 24. It is under an inch in length when it first appears early
+in the morning, and gains its strength after the sun has risen. These
+insects live ten or fifteen days, and never seem to eat any food. They
+come in swarms, and birds, pigs, and poultry fatten on them. The female
+lays her eggs in the outermost twigs of the forest; these die and drop
+on the ground. The eggs give birth to a number of small grubs, which are
+thus enabled to attain the mould without injury, and in it they
+disappear; they are forgotten till seventeen years pass, and then the
+memory of them returns, and they rise from the earth, piercing their way
+through the matted sod, the hard trampled clay, &c. They appeared in
+1749, &c., to 1834, and are expected in 1851. Has this expectation been
+fulfilled?

+307. _The British Sidanen._--Under this title (the proper spelling in
+which should be _Sina_ or _Senena_) an article appears in Vol. iv., p.
+120., comprising a portion of the genealogy of the Welsh princess, in
+which three of her sons are mentioned, viz., Owen, Llewellyn, and David.
+But there was a _fourth_ son, Roderic, who settled in England, and
+appears to have been residing there for some time, when the fatal
+rupture occurred between the two countries. It would appear that
+descendants of his have lived, and are living in our own times; among
+them, the late Dr. John Mawer, of Middleton Tyas, whose remarkable
+epitaph was given in a former number of "NOTES AND QUERIES." My first
+inquiry is, Is there known to exist any genealogy assuming to extend
+between the Rev. and learned gentleman just named and Prince Roderic? I
+am told there was one published in the _British Peerage for 1706_, at
+which time John Mawer would be three years of age; is such the fact? I
+wish also to ask, whether Prince _Owen_ was in existence at the time of
+the deaths of Llewellyn and David--whether in Wales or England? and
+whether he was the ancestor of Owen Tudor, the proud father of Henry
+VII.; and, if not, who _was_ Owen Tudor's ancestor?

+in the exerg., 1781 or 1787; and between "Inde." and "Lib." five stars.

+
+  [There is not any continuous list of _Knights Bachelors_ in any

+_Walker._--An American lady lecturing on Bloomerism last week was much

+respectable and trustworthy person. Can any one explain the origin of
+the joke that lies in the name "Walker?" Why do people say "Walker" when
+they wish to express ridicule or disbelief of a questionable statement?

+  persons were employed; and "Old Jack," who had a crooked or hooked
+  nose, occupied the post of a spy upon their aberrations, which
+  were manifold. Of course, it was for the interests of the
+  surveillants to throw discredit upon all Jack's reports to the
+  heads of the firm; and numbers could attest that those reports
+  were fabrications, however true. Jack, somehow or other, was

+
+    H. F.
+
+  Clapham, Nov. 3. 1851.
+
+  [These relate most probably to the palatine rights of the Bishops
+  of Durham, granted by Egfrid, King of Northumbria, in 685; when he
+  gave to St. Cuthbert all the land between the Wear and the Tyne,
+  called "the patrimony of St. Cuthbert," to hold in as full and
+  ample a manner as the king himself holds the same. This donative,
+  with its ancient customs and privileges, was confirmed by the
+  Danes, and afterwards by William the Conqueror; in addition to
+  which, the latter made the church a sanctuary, and the county a
+  palatinate. Its bishop was invested with as great a power and
+  prerogative within his see, as the king exercised without the
+  bounds of it, with regard to forfeitures, &c. Thus it was a kind
+  of royalty subordinate to the crown, and, by way of eminence, was
+  called _The Bishoprick_. For an account of the ancient customs

+commission to _further_ adjourn the Convocation, from a day to which it
+previously stood adjourned, read the day _after_ that on which it ought
+to have assembled, but which day had arrived and passed without any one
+recollecting the fact! Our Convocation appears at no time to have acted
+a very prominent part, though its constitution is far better fitted for
+a working synod than that of the southern province. In the latter the
+_parochial_ clergy are so inadequately represented as to be much
+outnumbered by the _dignitaries_ appointed by the crown and the bishops;
+but in York there are _two_ proctors chosen by the clergy of _each_
+archdeaconry and peculiar jurisdiction, and _two_ by each cathedral
+chapter; thus affording a complete counterpoise to the deans and
+archdeacons who are members _ex officio_. Another peculiarity in the
+Convocation of York is, that it assembles in _one_ house, the bishops
+commonly appearing by their proxies (priests), and the archbishop
+presiding by his commissioner, who is always the dean, or one of the
+residentiary canons of York.
+
+In 1462 (_temp._ Archbishop Booth) the Convocation of York decreed that
+such constitutions of the province of Canterbury as were not prejudicial
+to those of York should be received, incorporated, and deemed as their
+own (Wilkins's _Concilia_, vol. iii. p. 580.). Under Archbishop
+Grenefeld it was decreed that since the Archbishop of York hath no
+superior in spirituals except the Pope, no appeals should be suffered to
+the Archbishop of Canterbury (p. 663.). At an earlier period the
+northern metropolitan laid claim to all England north of the Humber,
+with the whole realm of Scotland (Wilkins, vol. i. pp. 325, 479, &c.).
+In a provincial council at London, A.D. 1175, his jurisdiction was
+denied over the sees of Lincoln, _Chester_, Worcester, and Hereford,
+upon which he appealed to the Pope. With the exception of Chester,
+however, none of these sees were finally retained in the province.
+
+The next year we are told that, in a (national) council at Westminster,
+the Pope's legate presiding, the Archbishop of York, "disdaining to sit
+at the left hand of the legate, forced himself into the lap of the
+Archbishop of Canterbury, but was immediately _knocked down_ by the
+other bishops and clergy, severely beaten, and thrust out of the
+council!" (Hoveden ap. Wilkins, vol. i. p. 485.) How far the Northern
+Convocation supported their burly prelate in these claims I do not know;
+but I _note_ that in those days the disorderly conduct of the clergy was
+_not_ made a pretext for the indefinite suspension of synodical
+functions; and I _query_ whether the clergy might not be trusted to
+behave quite as well in the nineteenth century.
+
+But to return to the Convocation of York. There is a curious letter,
+A.D. 1661, from Accepted Frewen, Archbishop of York, to the Convocation,
+desiring them to send up to London some of their members duly
+commissioned on their part to sit with the Lower House of Canterbury
+for the review of the Liturgy. In this letter the archbishop says that
+himself and the other bishops of the province were sitting _with the
+bishops of the southern province in their House_. A similar expedient
+for constituting a _quasi_-national synod seems to have been resorted to
+upon some earlier occasions; but the Convocation of York still passed in
+due form by their own separate decree what was so agreed upon. The
+Articles were thus subscribed by our Convocation in 1571, and the Canons
+in 1604 and 1640.
+
+Since then the Convocation of York has been regularly summoned, met,
+adjourned, and been prorogued, without even the dutiful address to the
+crown, which is regularly discussed and adopted in Canterbury. In the
+year 1847, a spasmodic attempt at life was manifested in this venerable
+and ill-used institution. Archbishop Harcourt had consented that an
+address to the crown should be adopted, and himself procured a draft to
+be approved by the bishops. His grace however died before the day of
+meeting. Some difficulty was experienced by the officials, both in York
+and London, as to the course to be pursued; but a precedent having been
+pointed out in the reign of James I., when Archbishop Hutton died after
+summoning the Convocation and before its assembly, a writ was issued
+from the crown to the dean and chapter at York to elect a _præses_ for
+the Convocation during the vacancy of the archbishoprick. They appointed
+the canon who happened to be in residence; an unusually large attendance
+was given; the Convocation was opened, the names called over, and then
+the officials had reached the limit of their experience; according to
+_their_ precedents we ought all to have been sent away. The address
+however was called on by the _præses_, being apparently quite unaware
+that a _prolocutor_ should be chosen by the clergy before they proceeded
+to business. Such an officer probably seemed to the dignitary already in
+the chair like a _second King of Brentford_ "smelling at one rose," and
+the demand was refused. Further difficulties ensued, of course, the
+moment the debate was opened; and finally, the _præses_, determined not
+to be tempted out of his depth, rose all at once, and read the fatal
+_formula_ which restored our glorious Chapter House to its silent
+converse with the ghosts. The Convocation has never since been heard of.

+
+THE OLD COUNTESS OF DESMOND.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 305.)
+
+If your correspondent A. B. R. will refer to Walpole's _Fugitive Pieces_
+he will find a minute inquiry into the person and age of this long-lived
+lady. This is doubtless the dissertation alluded to by C. (Vol. ii., p.
+219.) Pennant has _two_ notices of the countess in his Scotch tours. In
+that of 1769 (which somewhat strangely follows the one of 1772), he
+gives at p. 87. the engraving spoken of (Vol. iv., p. 306.), apparently
+taken from the original at Dupplin Castle. It differs a little from R.'s
+description of another portrait, as the cloak is strapped over the
+chest, not held by a button. In 1772 Pennant again describes this
+portrait in his _Tour in Scotland_, vol. ii. p. 88., and speaks of four
+others, viz., first, at Devonshire House; second, at the Hon. John
+Yorke's seat, near Cheltenham; third, at Mr. Scott's, printer; and the
+fourth, in the Standard Closet, Windsor Castle. At the back of the last
+is written with a pen "Rembrandt." "A mistake (says P.) as Rembrandt was
+not fourteen years of age (he was indeed only eight) in 1614, at which
+time it is certain the countess was not living."
+
+In my copy of the _Fugitive Pieces_ (the Strawberry Hill edition,
+presented by Walpole to Cole), I find the following manuscript note by
+Cole; _an amplification of the_ passage from Walpole's letters quoted at
+p. 306.:--
+
+  "Being at Strawberry Hill in April, 1773, I saw there a copy of
+  the picture commonly attributed to the old Countess of Desmond;
+  but Mr. Walpole told me that there is sufficient proof that it is
+  a painter's mother, I think Rembrandt's. However, by a letter from
+  Mr. Lort, April 15, 1774, he assures me that on Mr. Pennant's
+  calling at Strawberry Hill to see this picture, he was much
+  chagrined at having a print of it engraved for his book, till Mr.
+  Lort revived him by carrying him to a garret in Devonshire House,
+  where was a picture of this same countess with her name on it,
+  exactly corresponding to his engraved print. I remember a
+  tolerable good old picture of her at Mr. Dicey's, prebendary of
+  Bristol, at Walton in Bucks."
+
+Walpole could not dismiss Pennant without a disparaging remark. He is "a
+superficial man, and knows little of history or antiquity; but he has a
+violent rage for being an author." Those who live in glass houses should
+not throw stones: Pennant would not have displayed the ignorance which
+Walpole exhibits in the instance before us. In an inscription, which the
+latter gives, on a Countess of Desmond buried at Sligo, occurs the
+following contraction: "Desmoniæ _Noie_ Elizabetha." Walpole says
+(_Fugitive Pieces_, p. 204.), "This word I can make no sense of, but
+_sic originale_; I take it to be redundancy of the carver. It seems to
+be a repetition of the last three syllables of Desmoniæ!"
+
+The sarcastic observations which Walpole passes on the Society of
+Antiquaries, its members, and its publications, are so frequent and so
+bitter, that they must have been founded on some offence not to be
+pardoned. Were the remarks on the "Historic Doubts" by the president,
+Dean Milles, and by the Rev. Robert Masters (printed in the first two
+volumes of the _Archæologia_), regarded as satisfactorily confuting
+Walpole's arguments; or did he aim, but unsuccessfully, at the
+president's chair?

+COINS OF VABALATHUS.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 255.)
+
+There have been many attempts to explain the puzzling VCRIMDR, on the
+supposition that a Latin sentence was concealed under these letters.
+Pinkerton suggested "Voluntate Cæsaris Romani Imperatoris Maximi Domini,
+Rex." I hope to offer a better solution, which, although not new, has
+been passed over, I believe, by all subsequent writers. The Rev. George
+North, in the _Museum Meadianum_, p. 97., gives the following note:
+"Apud Arabes accepi verbum Karama significare Honoravit, a quo Ucrima,
+et Ucrim; quo sensu respondet hoc Arabicum Τῷ Σεβαστῷ apud
+Græcos." On applying to a well-known scholar and linguist here, I found
+that from the verb _Karama_ there was derived the adjective _Kar[=i]mat_
+(nobilis), from which again the superlative _Akram_ comes. There can, I
+think, be little doubt that the word VCRIMDR is originally derived from
+this verb _Karama_, and that it is most probably equivalent to
+_Nobilissimus_, a title so common shortly afterwards, as applied to the
+heirs to the empire.[3]
+
+  [Footnote 3: "_Nobilissimus_, in the Byzantine historians, is
+  synonymous with Cæsar."--_Niebuhr._]
+
+The word ϹΡΩΙΑϹ or ϹΡΙΑϹ, which appears on the
+Alexandrian coins of this prince, is of more difficult explanation. Some
+think it a prænomen, some a Syriac or other Eastern title, perhaps
+corresponding to VCRIMDR. Pellerin thought so. I hope some Oriental
+scholar will direct his attention to this point. These coins are very
+often ill struck, so that the part of the legend below the head, where
+the word in question is found, is indistinct, for which reason I suppose
+MR. TAYLOR has followed the erroneous reading of Banduri, ΕΡΜΙΑϹ
+(properly ϵΡΜΙΑϹ, with lunate epsilon) for ϹΡΩΙΑϹ,
+which has been corrected by Eckhel. Of three specimens which I
+possess, one only reads clearly ϹΡΩΙΑϹ, from the
+above-mentioned cause, but it is unquestionably the correct reading on
+all. The best arrangement of the legend, from analogy with those forms
+used by the Romans, is as follows:
+
+      ΑΥΤοκρατωρ . ϹΡΩΙΑϹ . ΟΥΑΒΑΛΛΑΘΟϹ . ΑΘΗΝΟδωρου . Υιος.
+
+The existence of coins, of which I possess a specimen also, reading
+
+      Α . ϹΡΙΑϹ . ΟΥΑΒΑΛΛΑΘΟϹ . ΑΘΗΝ . Υ.
+
+shows that we must not read ΑΘΗΝΟΥ as one word, but must
+divide it as above. I think MR. TAYLOR will find his specimen to read as
+the last-mentioned coin, the ΕΡ (properly ϵΡ) being ϹΡ, and the ΑΥ
+in like manner ΑϹ. My coin gives the whole legend distinctly, and
+I can vouch for the exactitude of the above legend.
+
+I believe there appeared some years ago, in the _Revue de Numismatique_,
+an article on the coins of the Zenobian family, but I do not remember
+when it was published, nor the conclusions to which the writer came.
+That is, however, the most recent investigation of the subject, and to
+it I must refer MR. TAYLOR, as I have not access to that periodical
+here.
+
+Sir Gardner Wilkinson has published in the _Numismatic Chronicle_, vol.
+vii. or viii., an inscription containing the names of Zenobia and
+Vabalathus. After the name of Vabalathus, who has the title of
+Autocrator, is the word ΑΘΗΝΟΔΩΡΟΥ, which justifies the
+reading Αθηνοδωρου Υιος on the coins. Vabalathus is thus
+probably the son of Zenobia by a former husband, Athenodorus, while
+bearing himself the same name, as Vabalathus (better Vaballathus, as on
+the Alexandrian coins) is said to be equivalent to Athenodorus, Gift of
+Pallas.

+
+MARRIAGE OF ECCLESIASTICS.
+
+(Vol. iv., pp. 57, 125, 193, 196, 298.)
+
+I entirely agree with you that your pages are not a fit battle-ground
+for theological controversy. Still, since the question of the
+translation of Heb. xiii. 4. has been mooted, I beg with much deference
+to suggest that it will not be quite right to let it fall to the ground
+unsettled, especially since CEPHAS has thought fit to charge those of
+our Reformers who translated the Scriptures with mistranslating
+advisedly, and with propagating new doctrines.
+
+CEPHAS'S version of the passage is right, and our English version is
+wrong; but the fault lies in the ignorance of our translators, an
+ignorance which they shared with all the scholars of their day, and many
+not bad scholars of our own, of the effect produced on the force of the
+article by the relation in which it stands to the other words in the
+clause, in point of order. ὁ τίμιος γάμος is "the honourable
+marriage;" ὁ τίμιος γάμος ἐστί is "the honourable marriage
+is;" ὁ γάμος τίμιος is untranslateable, unless you supply
+ἐστί, and then it means "the marriage" (or, marriage in
+general, in the abstract) "is honourable." But ἔστω might be
+supplied, as it is in Heb. xiii. 4., when it will mean, "let marriage be
+honourable:" and τίμιος ὁ γάμος has just the same meaning,
+with perhaps this difference, that the emphasis falls more distinctly on
+τίμιος. The circumstance that the mere assertion that marriage
+is honourable in all (men or things), true as it is in itself, ill
+accords with the tenor of the passage of which it forms a part, which is
+hortatory, not assertive, is a good reason why CEPHAS'S version should
+be preferred. But when we find afterwards the words καὶ ἡ κοίτη
+ἀμίαντος, it is impossible to deny this hortatory force to the
+sentence; for those words cannot mean "the undefiled bed:" and to
+translate them "the (or their) bed is undefiled"--which is the only
+version which they will here bear, but one--would give but a feeble
+sense. That sole remaining sense is, "the bed (let it) be undefiled;"
+subaudite ἔστω in the verse is, "Let marriage be honourable in
+all" (men or things), "and the bed be undefiled; but (or for)
+whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." Had our translators known
+that ἡ κοίτη ἀμίαντος could not mean "the bed undefiled," they
+would at once have been driven to see that the verse is a commandment:
+and the commandment that marriage should be held honourable in all men
+(or in all respects), would have served the purpose of their doctrines
+quite as well as the affirmative form which they have given to their
+present version. I say, it would have served their purpose; but I say
+more: they heeded not what did or would serve their purpose. They looked
+only for the truth and disregarded all else in their pursuit of it. With
+regard to the controversy about ἐν πᾶσι, it is immaterial which
+version be adopted. MR. WALTER is right in the rule which he enunciates,
+if he means that in those cases of adjectives in which the masculine and
+neuter forms are the same, "man" or "men," not "thing" or "things," must
+be understood: but it is not always observed, even in classical writers,
+either in Latin or in Greek. There is no reason why it should be broken
+here; and I do not believe it is broken. It must have been only by a
+slip of CEPHAS'S pen that he called πᾶσι a feminine adjective.
+It undoubtedly refers to both sexes. I wish E. A. D. had given the Greek
+of the passages from Chrysostom and Augustine, of which he has
+communicated the Oxford translation, which is as likely to err, perhaps,
+as any other. Jerome's Latin, like the Vulgate, though the words are not
+precisely the same, gives a literal version of the Greek, without
+supplying any verb at all, either _est_ or _sit_, and, since the Latin
+has not that expressive power in cases like this which the article gives
+to the Greek, leaves the passage obscure and undecided.

+It is quite obvious what lines your correspondent alludes to, though the
+above quotation which he gives as the commencement of them is not quite
+correct, nor were they written with the object he supposes.
+
+I send a correct copy of them below, taken from Mr. Payne Collier's very
+interesting _Life of Shakspeare_, to whom they have always been
+attributed; and, it is said, with every show of reason. It is supposed
+they were written by him in the shape of a complimentary allusion to
+King James I., in grateful acknowledgment of the patronage bestowed by
+that monarch upon the stage. The subject is fully discussed at pp. 202,
+203. of Mr. Knight's volume, whence, indeed, the above information is
+derived; and he publishes the lines, as follows, stating then to be
+copied from a coeval manuscript in his possession:--
+
+      "SHAKSPEARE ON THE KING.
+
+      "Crowns have their compass--length of days their date--
+      Triumphs their tomb--felicity, her fate--
+      Of nought but earth can earth make us partaker,
+      But knowledge makes a king most like his Maker."
+
+Some one, to make the allusion more complete, that is, to over-do it,
+changed "_a_ king" into "_the_ king" in a subsequent publication of the
+lines. But this, as Mr. Payne Collier very justly feels, completely
+spoils the whole complexion of the epigram, and perverts a fine allusion
+into a raw personality.

+_The Rev. Richard Farmer_ (Vol. iv., pp. 379.[4] 407.).--The

+especially as he himself furnishes ample confirmation of its truth.
+
+  [Footnote 4: At page 379., second column, fifth line from bottom,

+
+Taking his quotations in due order--
+
+1. The certificate of Dr. Farmer's character for learning and ability is
+unnecessary, because neither was impugned; nor does an allegation of
+atrocity in taste and judgment necessarily imply deficiency in mere
+book-learning.
+
+2. As for Isaac Reed's opinion in favour of Farmer's Essay, it might be
+met by many of directly opposite tendency, and of at least equal weight.
+
+3. In the only point really in question, BOLTON CORNEY "cannot deny that
+Farmer related the anecdote of the _wool-man_" (that being the reputed
+trade of Shakspeare's father); but to what end was it related, if not
+to suggest an application of which Steevens was only the interpreter?
+
+But BOLTON CORNEY thinks the character of the witness suspicious; he
+forgets that only just before he had stated that the anecdote and its
+application had been repeated in three editions, extending over thirteen
+years, all within the lifetime of Dr. Farmer!

+NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.
+
+Although there are few books which have proved of greater utility to
+inquirers into the more recent history of England than Beatson's
+_Political Index_, yet it is also true that there are few which have
+more frequently or more justly caused the reader to feel the want of a
+new and improved edition. A very short examination, however, of Mr.
+Haydn's recently published Beatson's _Political Index Modernised, The
+Book of Dignities, containing Rolls of the Official Personages of the
+British Empire, Civil, Ecclesiastical, Judicial, Military, Naval, and
+Municipal, &c._, will satisfy the reader that such want has at length
+been supplied in a manner the most ample and the most satisfactory. For
+though we have referred to Beatson's well-known work for the purpose of
+furnishing a better idea of the _Book of Dignities_, we are bound to
+acknowledge that Mr. Haydn is justified in stating, that in the work in
+question he owes little more than the plan to Beatson. Mr. Haydn's
+volume not only contains many lists (among them the "Administrations of
+England, and the Judges of the Ecclesiastical Courts") not to be found
+in the _Political Index_, but the author has had the advantage of being
+permitted to search the various official records with the view of
+enabling him to give complete and accurate information. The result, of
+course, is obvious; namely, that just in the same proportion that our
+author surpasses Beatson in the extent and accuracy of his various
+lists, does the _Book of Dignities_ exceed its predecessor in usefulness
+to the official man, the historian, and the scholar.
+
+Mr. Hunt's experience as a public lecturer at the various literary and
+scientific institutions of the country, having convinced him that for
+the majority of the members of those institutions most of the existing
+works on natural philosophy are of too abstruse and technical a
+character--are, in short, sealed books,--he has been led to publish a
+small volume which we have no doubt will soon become extremely popular.
+It is entitled _Elementary Physics, an Introduction to the Study of
+Natural Philosophy_; and, as its object is to teach physical science so
+far as to render all the great deductions from observation and
+experiment satisfactorily clear, without encountering the difficulty of
+mathematics,--and no one is better able to do this, and throw a charm
+over such a subject, than the author of the _Poetry of Science_,--the
+work, which is illustrated with upwards of two hundred woodcuts, will be
+found eminently useful; not only to those who have neither time nor
+opportunity to carry their studies beyond its pages, but especially as a
+"first book" to those in whom it may awaken the desire for a more
+perfect knowledge of the beautiful and important truths of which it
+treats.

+The nature of the _Hand Atlas of Physical Geography, consisting of a

+and the Maps of the Erdkunde, drawn by and under the immediate
+Superintendence of Drs. Ritter and Kiepert, Oetzel, Grimm, &c., by the
+Editor of the University Atlas of the Middle Ages_, is sufficiently
+described by its ample title-page; which shows, moreover, that the work
+is not a mere copy or reduction of the great atlas of Berghaus, on which
+it is founded. As a companion to the works of Humboldt, Mrs. Somerville,
+and other writers on physical geography, it will be found most useful;
+while its convenient size, and moderate price, place it within the reach
+of almost all classes of readers.

+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+http://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with

+Gutenberg-tm License.

+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+THOMAS MORE AND JOHN FISHER.
+
+Although I am afraid "NOTES AND QUERIES" may not be considered as open
+to contributions purely bibliographical, and admitting I am uncertain
+whether the following copy of the treatise of John Fisher, Bishop of
+Rochester, has been before noted, I am induced to send this extract from
+Techener's _Bulletin du Bibliophile_ for May 1851. The book is in the
+library at Douai.
+
+  "This Treatise concernynge the fruytful Saynges of David the King
+  and prophete in the seven penytencyall psalmes, devyded in _ten_
+  sermons, was made and compyled by the ryght reverente fader in god
+  Johan Fyssher, doctour of dyvinyte and bysshop of Rochester, at
+  the exortacion and sterynge of the most excellent pryncesse
+  Margarete, Countesse of Richemount and Derby, and moder to out
+  souverayne Lorde Kynge H[=e]ry the VII."
+
+It is described as a small 4to., printed upon vellum, in Gothic letters,
+at London, 1508, by Wynkyn de Worde, and contains 146 leaves. On the
+first leaf it has a portcullis, crowned with the motto "Dieu et mon
+Droit." On the recto of the last leaf there is--
+
+  "Here endeth the exposycyon of the 7 psalmes. Enprynted at London
+  in the fletestrete, at the sygne of ye Sonne, by Wynkyn de Worde.
+  In the yere of oure lorde M.CCCCC.VIII. ye 16 day of ye moneth of
+  Juyn. The XXIII. yere of ye reygne of our souverayne Lorde Kynge
+  H[=e]ry the Seventh."
+
+At the back, there is the sun, the monogram of Wynkyn de Worde--the
+letters W. C. displayed as usual--and beneath, "Wynkyn de Worde."
+
+At the beginning of the book, "sur une garde en v�lin" (a fly-leaf of
+vellum?), there is written in a very neat hand the following ten verses,
+the profession of faith of Thomas Morus and of his friend John Fisher,
+Bishop of Rochester:
+
+      "The surest meanes for to attaine
+      The perfect waye to endlesse blisse
+      Are happie lief and to remaine
+      W'thin ye church where virtue is;
+      And if thy conscience be sae sounde
+      To thinse thy faith is truth indeede
+      Beware in thee noe schisme be founde
+      That unitie may have her meede;
+      If unitie thow doe embrace
+      In heaven (_en_?)joy possesse thy place."
+
+Beneath--
+
+      "Qui non rect� vivit in unitate ecclesi�
+      Catholic�, salvus esse non potest."
+
+And lower on the same page--
+
+      "Thomas Morus d[=n]s cancellarius Angli�
+      Joh. Fisher Ep�s Roffensis."
+
+It is traditionally reported, upon the testimony of some Anglican
+Benedictines (an order now extinct), that the lines which contain the
+profession of faith, and those which follow, are in the handwriting of
+Bishop Fisher, and that the work was presented by him to the
+chancellor, during their imprisonment, when by order of Henry VIII. the
+chancellor was denied the consolation of his books.
+
+In the same library there is a fine Psalter, which belonged to Queen
+Elizabeth. The _Livre d'Heures_ of Mary Queen of Scots was here also to
+be found: "Maria, glorious martyr and Queen of Scotland." It is
+conjectured these books were brought to Douai by the fugitive English
+Roman Catholic priests. In 1790 their collections were confiscated and
+given to the public library of Douai. It would be of interest to
+ascertain, if possible, the authenticity of the _Heures � l'Usage_,
+stated to have belonged to Mary Queen of Scots. Upon this point one may
+be permitted to be sceptical. I have myself seen two. One of these, it
+was said, had been used by Mary on the scaffold, and contained a note in
+the handwriting, as I think, of James II. attesting the fact. It was
+understood to have been obtained from a monastery in France. The other,
+a small Prayer Book MS. in vellum, of good execution, had the signature
+"M." with a line I think over it of "O Lord, deliver me from my
+enemies!" in French. I am, however, now writing from memory, and, in the
+first case, of very many years.
+
+Whether the line, "Maria, glorious martyr and Queen of Scotland," be
+written in the Psalter, or has been added by the mental excitement of M.
+Duthilloeul, the librarian at Douai, I cannot decide. The grand
+culmination of "and Queen of Scotland" forms doubtless a very striking
+anti-thesis: but neither the possessor of the book nor a priest would
+have so sunk the martyr, although a woman and a queen were alike
+concerned, as this line does. Lowndes states there is a copy of the
+bishop's treatise on vellum at Cambridge. A copy is in the British
+Museum; but the title, according, to Lowndes, has _seven_ sermons. It

+NOTES ON NEWSPAPERS.
+
+The social elements of society in the seventeenth century were more
+simple in their character and development than at the present period.
+The population was comparatively small, and therefore the strivings for
+success in any pursuit did not involve that severe conflict which is so
+frequently the case in the present day. Society then was more of a
+community than it is now. It had not public bodies to aid it. It was
+left more to its own inherent resources for reciprocal good, and for
+mutual help. The temptations to evade and dissemble, in matters of
+business, or private and public negotiations, were not so strong as they
+now are. Its transactions were more transparent and defined, because
+they were fewer and less complicated than many of our own. We readily
+grant that society now, in its social, religious, and commercial
+aspects, enjoys advantages immeasurably superior to those of any former
+period; still there are some few advantages which it had then, that it
+cannot possess now. The following advertisements, from the newspapers of
+the time, will illustrate the truth of the foregoing remarks:
+
+From a _Collection for Improvement of Husbandry and Trade_.
+
+  Friday, January 26, 1693/4.
+
+  "One that is fit to keep a Warehouse, be a Steward, or do any
+  Business that can be supposed an intelligent Man that has been a
+  Shopkeeper is fit for, and can give any Security that can be
+  desired, as far as Ten Thousand Pound goes, and has some Estate of
+  his own, desires an Employment of One hundred Pounds a year, or
+  upwards. I can give an account of him."
+
+That a man having 10,000_l._ to give as security, and in possession of
+an estate, should require a situation of 100_l._ per annum, sounds oddly
+enough in our ears. "I can give an account of him," denotes that the
+editor was a man well known and duly appreciated. He appears to have
+been a scribe useful in many ways. He was known, and knowing.
+
+  Friday, February 2, 1693/4.
+
+  "A very eminent Brewer, and one I know to be a very honest
+  Gentleman, wants an Apprentice. I can give an account of him."
+
+In what sense the word "honest" must here be taken it is difficult to
+define. As an eminent brewer, we should naturally conclude he must have
+been an honest man. He is here very eminent and very honest.
+
+  Friday March 16, 1693/4.
+
+  "Many Masters want Apprentices, and many Youths want Masters. If
+  they apply themselves to me, I'll strive to help them. Also for
+  variety of valuable services."
+
+Here is the editor of a paper offering his help to masters and
+apprentices for their mutual good. Let us suppose an advertisement of
+this kind appearing in _The Times_ of our own day. Printing-house Square
+would not contain a tithe of the individuals who would present
+themselves for the reception of this accommodating aid. In such a case
+the editors (as it regards their particular duties) would be cyphers,
+for a continuous absorption of their time would necessarily occur in the
+carrying out of this benevolent offer. This advertisement may be
+considered as _multum in parvo_, giving the wants of the many in an
+announcement of three or four lines, connecting them with a variety of
+services which in those days were thought to be valuable. How greatly
+are we assisted by these little incidents in forming correct views of
+the state of society at that period.
+
+The next advertisement shows the value set upon the services of one who
+was to perform the duties of a clerk, and to play well on the violin.
+
+  "If any young Man that plays well on a Violin, and writes a good
+  Hand, desires a Clerkship, I can help him to Twenty Pounds a
+  year."
+
+Of course twenty pounds was of more value then than it is now: still it
+seems a small sum for the performance of such duties, for twelve months.
+Here is musical talent required for the amusement of others, in
+combination with the daily duties of a particular profession. An
+efficient musician, and a good writer, and all for 20_l._ per annum! We
+learn by the editor's "I can help him," his readiness to assist all who
+would advertise in his journal, to obtain those employments which their
+advertisements specified.
+
+  Friday, April 6, 1694.
+
+  "A Grocer of good business desires an Apprentice of good growth."
+
+The "good growth" must have been intended to convey the idea of height
+and strength.
+
+My next article shall be devoted to advertisements of another class,
+further illustrating the state of society and the peculiarities of the
+people at the end of the seventeenth century.

+
+TREATISE OF EQUIVOCATION.
+
+As having originated the inquiry in "NOTES AND QUERIES"[1] respecting
+this Treatise, under the signature of J. M., I feel great obligation
+both to the editor of that journal, and the editor of the Treatise
+itself, for having brought it to light by publication, and added it to
+the stock of accurate and very important historical information. Indeed,
+a real vacancy was left for it; and it is a subject of high
+self-gratulation, that a boon previously, and for a length of time,
+hidden and unproductive, is now accessible and operative without limit.
+I have no doubt that all your readers, and the whole reading public,
+join with me in rejoicing that the editorship of the work has fallen
+into hands so competent and so successful.
+
+  [Footnote 1: Vol. i., pp. 263. 357.; Vol. ii., pp. 136. 168. 446.
+  490.]
+
+I was, not for ten, but twenty years or more, in quest of the MS. now so
+happily made public property, and should have fallen upon it much
+earlier, but for the misleading title under which it appears, where it
+_is_ really; for it has been found. In the _Catalogus Lib. MSS._: Ox.
+1697, among the Laudian MSS. appears, p. 62., "968.95. _A Treatise_
+against _Equivocation, or fraudulent Dissimulation_." _Against!_ when no
+such word is in the original, and the real matter and meaning is _for_!
+I had, at some early time, marked the very entry; but presuming that the
+work had been actually _printed_ (which I believe it was in a very few
+copies, which have disappeared), naturally enough I did not pursue the
+search in that direction. Others, I am happy, have, and I am gratified.
+
+The work is very important; for there is not a work more evidently
+genuine and authentic than this is proved to be by plain historic
+evidence, both as to the document itself and the facts which it attests.
+The witness, or witnesses, appearing in it, give their testimony
+respecting themselves with the most unsuspectable simplicity. They meant
+not, and have not, misrepresented themselves: they have proclaimed their
+own doctrine for themselves respecting Equivocation and Mental
+Reservation--the last of which is really of most importance; and it was
+most needful to the Roman body at the time, and under their
+circumstances. Their object, for mere safety, was concealment as to
+their resorts or residences. They could not exist, as they did, without
+the assistance and knowledge of many individuals, some of inferior
+class. Against the incessant inquiries to which they were exposed they
+had no defence, except the power of disappointing or misleading by
+ambiguity or deception, which was completely secured by reserved
+termination in the mind to any uttered declaration. Now, there is in
+this very Treatise _plain admission_ that all the co-religionists of the
+endangered party, particularly a lady who is distinctly noticed, were
+not convinced of the moral rectitude of such a procedure; and it was
+necessary, or expedient, that their hesitation should be removed. And
+this seems to be the main object of the present work. How far it has
+succeeded must depend upon the evidence which is adduced.
+
+We have generally had the doctrine of the Roman body on the subject of
+the Treatise presented by opponents; here we have it as deliberately
+stated by themselves. There is a passage rather observable in p. 103.,
+beginning at the bottom and extending to the words "he hath no such
+meaning to tell them," of which we are not acquainted with a duplicate.
+But the whole has something of the freshness and interest of novelty.
+
+_Macbeth_, it is agreed, I believe, was written in 1607, consequently
+after the Powder Plot, when the doctrine before us was brought forward
+pointedly against the traitors. Might there not be some reference to the
+fact in the Second Act, where the porter of the castle, roused by
+repeated knockings, on the murder, after other exclamations in the
+manner of the poet, proceeds:
+
+  "Here's an Equivocator, that could swear in both the scales,
+  against either scale: who committed treason enough for God's sake,
+  yet could not equivocate to heaven. Oh, come in, Equivocator"?
+
+Mr. Jardine will thank your correspondent for pointing out an error or
+two which should be corrected in another edition. At p. 44., for
+"[Greek: chtho]," in the margin, should be printed "_sub verbo_." The
+word in the MS. is a contraction to that effect: the capital "V" has a
+curved stroke across the first line of the "V," followed by "_bo_."
+Generally the _Dubium_, in alphabetic works of the kind referred to,
+ranks under some alphabetic word, one or more, as it may happen; but in
+Em. S�'s work the word _Dubium_ comes under the letter D., and this is
+meant to be expressed. At p. 49. the footnote should be omitted, as the
+Vulgate, which is followed, calls the 1st of _Samuel_ the 1st of
+_Kings_. The first line of p. 56. should have "_autem_" instead of
+"_antea_." I have inspected the MS. carefully, and therefore speak with
+confidence.

+
+  "Infixit. _Inflixit_, lectionem quorundam MSS. facile pr�tulissem,
+  et quod statim pr�cesserit _transfixo_, unde evadit inconcinna
+  cognat� dictionis repetitio, et quod etiam �n. x. 303.:
+
+      "'Namque inflicta vadis, dorso dum pendet iniquo,'
+
+  "si Sidon. Apoll. v. 197. haud tueretur vulgatam scripturam:
+
+                           "'Fixusque Capharei
+      Cautibus, inter aquas flammam ructabat Oileus.'"--_Wakefield._
+
+To which criticism of Wakefields's, Forbiger adds: "Pr�terea etiam acuto
+scopulo _infigendi_ voc. accommodatius videtur quam _infligendi_." And
+Wagner: "acuto scopulo _infigi_ melius."
+
+This interpretation and these criticisms are founded altogether on a
+false conception of the meaning of the word _infigere_, which is never
+to fix _on_, but always either to fix _in_, or to fix _with_, i.e.
+pierce _with_. _Scopulo infixit acuto_, _fixed or pinned_ down or to the
+ground _with_ a sharp rock; _i.e._ hurled a sharp-pointed rock on him,
+so as to nail him to the ground. So (_�n._ XII. 721.) "Cornua obnixi
+infigunt," fix their horns, not _on_, but _in_; infix their horns; stick
+their horns into each other; stick each other with their horns: _q.d._
+Cornibus se mutuo infigunt: and, exactly parallel to our text:
+
+      "Saturnius me sic _infixit_ Jupiter,
+      Jovisque numen Mulcibri adscivit manus.
+      Hos ille _cuneos_ fabrica crudeli _inserens_,
+      Perrupit artus; qua miser sollertia
+      Transverberatus, castrum hoc Furiarum incolo."
+
+      Cicero (translating from �schylus), _Tuscul. Qu�st._ II. 10.
+
+In confirmation of this view of the passage, I may observe: 1st, that it
+is easier to imagine a man staked to the ground by a sharp-pointed rock,
+than flung on a sharp-pointed rock, so as to remain permanently impaled
+on it; and 2dly, that the account given of the transaction, both by
+Quintus Calaber and Seneca, agree as perfectly with this view as they
+disagree with the opposite:
+
+      [Greek: Kai ny ken ex�lyxe kakon moron, ei m� ar' aut�,
+      rh�xas aian enerthen, epiproe�ke kol�n�n;
+      eute paros megaloio kat' Enkeladoio da�phr�n

+      amphi de min thanatoio melas ekich�sat' olethros,
+      gai� hom�s dm�thenta, kai akamat� eni pont�.]
+
+      Quintus Calab. XIV. 579.
+
+And so Seneca; who, having presented us with Ajax clinging to the rock
+to which he had swum for safety, after his ship had been sunk, and
+himself struck with lightning, and there uttering violent imprecations
+against the Deity, adds:
+
+                "Plura cum auderet furens,
+      Tridente rupem subruit pulsam pater
+      Neptunus, imis exerens undis caput,
+      Solvitque montem; quem cadens secum tulit:
+      Terraque et igne victus et pelago jacet."
+
+      _Agam._ 552.
+
+And, so also, beyond doubt, we are to understand Sidonius
+Apollinaris's--
+
+                                "Fixusque Capharei
+      Cautibus, inter aquas flammam ructabat Oileus."
+
+Not, with Wakefield and the other commentators, _fixed on_ the rocks of
+Caphareus, but, _pierced with_ the rocks of Caphareus, and lying under
+them. Compare (_�n._ IX. 701.) "fixo pulmone," the pierced lung; "fixo
+cerebro" (_�n._ XII. 537.); "verubus trementia figunt" (_�n._ I. 216.),
+not, fix _on_ the spits, but, stick or pierce _with_ the spits; and
+especially (Ovid. _Ibis._ 341.),
+
+      "Viscera sic aliquis scopulus tua figat, ut olim
+        Fixa sub Euboico Graia fuere sinu,"
+
+pierced and pinned down with a rock, at the bottom of the Euboean gulf.
+
+TURBINE. SCOPULO.--Not two instruments, _a whirlwind and a rock_, but
+one single instrument, _a whirling rock_; scopulo turbineo; in modo
+turbinis se circumagente; as if Virgil had said, Solo affixit illum
+correptum et transverberatum scopulo acuto in eum maxima vi rotato: or,
+more briefly, Turbine scopuli acuti corripuit et infixit. Compare:
+
+      "Pr�cipitem scopulo atque ingentis turbine saxi
+      Excutit effunditque solo."--_�n._ XII. 531.
+
+                            "Stupet obvia leto
+      Turba super stantem, atque emissi turbine montis
+      Obruitur."--Stat. _Theb._ II. 564.
+
+      "Idem altas turres saxis et turbine crebro
+      Laxat."--Stat. _Theb._ X. 742.
+
+So understood, 1st, the passage is according to Virgil's usual manner,
+the latter part of the line explaining and defining the general
+statement contained in the former; and, 2ndly, Pallas kills her enemy,
+not by the somewhat roundabout and unusual method of first striking him
+with thunder, and then snatching him up in a whirlwind, and then either
+dashing him against a sharp rock, and leaving him impaled there, or, as
+I have shown is undoubtedly the meaning, impaling him with a sharp rock,
+but by the more compendious and less out-of-the-way method of first
+striking him with thunder, and then whirling a sharp-pointed rock on top
+of him, so as to impale him.
+
+From Milton's imitation of this passage, in his _Paradise Lost_ (ii.
+180.), it appears that even he fell into the general and double error:
+
+      "Caught in a fiery tempest shall be hurled,
+      Each on his rock transfixed."
+
+Caro's translation shows that he had no definite idea whatever of the
+meaning:
+
+                          "A tale un turbo
+      In preda il di�; che per acuti scogli
+      Miserabil ne fe' rapina, e scempio."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+      V. "Ast ego, qu� Div�m incedo regina, Jovisque
+         Et soror et conjux, una cum gente tot annos
+         Bella gero."--_�n._ I. 50.
+
+  "'INCEDERE' wird besonders von der feierlichen, w�rdevollen
+  Haltung im Gange gebraucht: vers 500, von der Dido, 'Regina
+  incessit.' (Ruhnk. zu _Terent. And._ I. i. 100. _Eun._ v. 3. 9.)
+  Deshalb der majest�tischen Juno eigenth�mlich, [Greek: H�raion
+  badizein]. Also nicht f�r _sum_, sondern ganz
+  eigentlich."--_Thiel._
+
+      "But I who walk in awful state above."
+
+      _Dryden._
+
+  "_Incedere_ est _ingredi_, sed proprie cum quadam pompa et
+  fastu."--_Gesner._
+
+  "Incessus dearum, imprimis Junonis, gravitate sua
+  notus."--_Heyne._
+
+And so also Holdsworth and Ru�us.
+
+I think, on the contrary, that _incedo_, both here and elsewhere,
+expresses only the stepping or walking motion generally, and that the
+character of the step or walk, if inferable at all, is to be inferred
+only from the context. Accordingly, "Magnifice incedit" (Liv. II. 6.);
+"Turpe incedere" (Catull. XXXXII. 8.); "Molliter incedit" (Ovid, _Amor._
+II. 23.); "Passu incedit inerti" (Ovid, _Metam._ II. 772.); "Melius est
+incessu regem quam imperium regno claudicare" (Justin. VI. ii. 6.);
+"Incessus omnibus animalibus certus et uniusmodi, et in suo, cuique,
+genere" (Plin. X. 38.).
+
+The emphasis, therefore, is on _regina_, and the meaning is, _I who
+step, or walk, QUEEN of the Gods_; the dignity of the step being not
+expressed by "incedo," but inferable from "regina." The expression
+corresponds exactly to "ibit regina" (_�n._ II. 578.); with this
+difference only, that "ibit" does not, like "incedo," specify motion on
+foot.
+
+"Jovisque et soror et conjux."--Both the _ets_ are emphatic. "Jovisque
+_et_ soror _et_ conjux."
+
+"Bella" expresses the organised resistance which she meets, and the
+uncertainty of the issue; and being placed first word in the line is
+emphatic.

+Minor Notes.
+
+_Verses presented to General Monck._--The subjoined notice of a curious
+entry in the records of the Belfast corporation may be acceptable. The
+author is unknown. They are inscribed, "Verses to General Monck," and,
+as the last six lines show, are an attack on the Rump Parliament:--
+
+      Advants George Monck, and Monck St. George shall be,
+      England's restorer to its liberty,
+      Scotland's protector, Ireland's president,
+      Reducing all to affree parliament.
+      And if thou dost intend the other thing,
+      Go on, and all shall cry God save ye king.
+
+        R. R doth rebellion represent,
+        V. By V nought else but villainy is meant,
+        M. M murther signifies all men doe knowe,
+        P. P perjuries in fashion grow.
+
+            Then R and V with M and P
+            Conjoined make up our misery.
+
+The occasion of their presentation is unknown. General Monck took
+Belfast in 1646 from the Scotch, who being true Presbyterians of the
+older school, had turned against the parliament. This was the probable
+occasion of their being presented to the future restorer of King Charles
+II.

+
+_Justice to Pope Pius V._--You have done yourself credit by exonerating
+Queen Elizabeth from a charge the easiest to bring, and the most
+difficult to rebut, implying the proof of a negative; and therefore
+frequently brought by the unprincipled. I propose, as a counterpart, to
+exonerate Pope Pius V. from an imputation, mistakingly, though unjustly,
+cast upon him by an authority of no less weight than that of Sir Walter
+Scott. In his edition of _Somers's Tracts_, vol. i. p. 192., occurs a
+note on a place in the _execution of justice_: "Pius V. resolved to make
+his bastard son, Boncompagni, Marquis of Vincola, King of Ireland," &c.
+For this assertion no authority is cited, nor indeed could be. The very
+name might have suggested the filiation to his successor, Gregory XIII.,
+which was the fact. In a work, not much known, _The Burnt Child dreads
+the Fire, &c._, by William Denton, M.D., London, 1675, at p. 25. we
+read, "Gregory XIII. had a bastard, _James Buon Compagna_, and to him he
+gave _Ireland_, and impowered _Stewkely_ with men, arms, and money, to
+conquer it for him."[2] There is no reason to doubt, that with the
+editor of the _Tracts_ the above imputation was a simple mistake; but it
+is an important duty of all who interfere with historical literature, to
+state and correct every discovered instance of the kind.
+
+  [Footnote 2: Camden, in his _Elizabeth_, under 1578, states the
+  fact without mention of the name, only calling him "the pope's
+  bastard;" but the date is the sixth year of the pontificate of
+  Gregory XIII.]

+
+
+CROSSES AND CRUCIFIXES.
+
+In the 22nd volume of the _Arch�ologia_, p. 58., is the following
+passage:
+
+  "The cross, which does not appear to have been peculiar to
+  Christianity, when introduced on these obelisks, is usually filled
+  with tracery."
+
+The obelisks, or stones of memorial, referred to are the subjects of a
+very interesting paper communicated by Mr. Logan to the Society of
+Antiquaries. (See Plates 2, 3, 4, and 5.) I am desirous of being
+informed what authenticated instances there are of crosses, or stones
+marked with crosses, being used for landmarks, memorials, or for any
+other purpose, civil or religious, before the introduction of
+Christianity? I have met with one instance. Prescott, in his _History of
+Mexico_, relates that--
+
+  "In the court of one of the temples in the island of Columel he
+  was amazed by the sight of a cross of stone and lime, about ten
+  palms high."
+
+It was the emblem of the god of rain (See vol. i. p. 240., &c.)
+
+In the same paper Mr. Logan observes--
+
+  "Crosses, or stones on which the figure was traced, marked a place
+  of meeting for certain districts; and within memory of man a fair
+  was held on this spot. It is not improbable that market-crosses
+  may be deduced from this custom."
+
+It seems that every town that had the privilege of a market or fair (I
+am speaking of England) had a market-cross. In most of these towns the
+cross has disappeared, and in its place a ball or globe has been mounted
+on the shaft; but the term "market-cross" is still in use. In the town
+of Giggleswick, in the parish of Giggleswick, there is a perfect
+market-cross, the cross being what is, I believe, called a cross-fleury.
+In the town of Settle, in the same parish of Giggleswick, the ball or
+globe is placed on the top of the shaft. Are there other instances of
+market towns in which the cross is still found?
+
+I passed through a market town lately in which the stone steps, and
+socket in which the shaft was placed, are preserved; but they have been
+removed to one corner of the market-place. The shaft and cross have
+disappeared.
+
+Is not this erection of the cross, in places in which markets and fairs
+were held, of ecclesiastical origin? Was the cross erected by licence
+granted by the bishop within whose jurisdiction it was placed? Is there
+any grant of such licence in existence? Or did these crosses originate
+in the gratuitous piety of our ancestors? I fear to ask the question,
+whether the buyers and sellers under the cross are more upright in their
+dealings than those who buy and sell without the presence of this emblem
+of all that is true and just. Is the cross erected in the cities and
+towns of other states, as in England? Was the custom general in Europe?
+
+    F. W. J.
+
+Mr. Curzon states, in the introduction to his _Monasteries of the
+Levant_, that--
+
+  "The crucifix was not known before the fifth or sixth century,
+  though the cross was always the emblem of the Christian faith."
+
+I am persuaded that this assertion is incorrect, and that the crucifix
+was used in much earlier times. Will some one kindly inform me where the
+first mention of it is to be found, and what is the date of the earliest
+examples now known?

+
+MASTER OF THE BUCKHOUNDS.
+
+In reading the _Topographer_ for January 1791 (a work which was
+published under the editorship of my uncle, Sir Egerton Brydges), I was
+surprised to find, in an account of the family of Brocas, of
+Beaurepaire, in the county of Hampshire, that the post of Master of the
+Buckhounds had been sold in the reign of James I.
+
+Mr. Gough (_Sepulchral Monuments_, pp. 160, 161.) appears to be the
+authority quoted who describes the monument of Sir Bernard Brocas, Kt.,
+as existing at Westminster, and having on it an inscription in which is
+the following sentence:
+
+  "Sir Bernard succeeded to the paternal inheritance both in England
+  and France, and having married Mary, daughter and heiress of Sir
+  John de Roche, had a large estate with her, and the hereditary
+  post of Master of the Buckhounds; which was confirmed to him by
+  King Edward the Third, and held by the family, till sold in James
+  the First's reign."

+I have no means of ascertaining at the present time whether this
+monument is still in existence or not; nor indeed has that much to do
+with the object of my writing, which is to suggest the following
+Queries, in the hope that some of your correspondents may be able to
+send satisfactory answers.
+
+1. By whom was the post of Master of the Buckhounds first instituted,
+and who was the first Master?
+
+2. Is there any list of persons holding this office; and if so, where
+may it be seen?
+
+3. Is there any instance of an unmarried lady having held it: for in the
+case before us we see that a lady was able to convey it by inheritance
+to her husband?
+
+4. By whom was it sold? Was it by the last hereditary possessor; and if
+so, what was his name? Or was it by the king, on the death of one of the
+possessors, for the purpose of enriching himself?
+
+5. Is it known whether there is any other instance of its having been
+sold: and when did it come to be, as now, a ministerial office?

+300. "_No Cross no Crown._"--Where did Penn get the title of his
+well-known work? St. Paulinus, Bishop of Nola, in allusion to the custom
+of crowning crosses, has these lines:--
+
+      "Cerne coronatam Domini super _atria Christi_,
+      Stare crucem, duro spondentem celsa labori
+      Pr�mia: _tolle crucem, qui vis auferre coronam_."
+
+      "See how the cross of Christ a crown entwines:
+      High o'er God's temple it refulgent shines;
+      Pledging bright guerdon for each passing pain:
+      Take up the cross, if thou the crown would'st gain."
+
+Vide Dr. Rock's _Hierurgia_. Quarles says, in his _Esther_:
+
+      "The way to bliss lies not on beds of down,
+      And he that had no cross deserves no crown."

+      She wept in silence, and was--di-do-dum."
+
+Who was the author of the above well-known bit of philology?
+
+    A. A. D.
+
+302. _Pegs and Thongs for Rowing: Torture among the Athenians._--Dr.
+Schmitz (in Smith's _Antiq._, article SHIPS) speaks of "the pegs,
+[Greek: skalmoi], _between which the oars move[d]_, and to which they
+were fastened by a thong, [Greek: trop�t�r]." What is the authority for
+two pegs, _between which_, &c? A single peg and thong, as still in
+frequent use, would be intelligible!
+
+Dr. Smith observes (ap. id. p. 1139.) that the decree of Scamandrius,
+which ordained that no free Athenian should be tortured, "does not
+appear to have interdicted torture as a means of execution, _since_ we
+find Demosthenes (_de Cor._ 271.) reminding the judges that they had put
+Antiphon to death by the rack." Does it not escape him that Antiphon was
+_then an alien_, having suffered expulsion from the Lexiarchic list.

+303. _French Refugees._--Where is the treaty or act of parliament to be
+found which guaranteed compensation to the French refugees at the end of
+the war? Is it possible to obtain a list of those who received
+compensation, and the amount paid; and if so, where?
+

+
+304. _Isabel, Queen of the Isle of Man._--In Charles Knight's _London_
+mention is made, amongst the noble persons buried in the church of the
+Grey Friars, of Isabel, wife of Baron Fitzwarren, sometime queen of the
+Isle of Man. Will you or some of your correspondents be so kind as to
+tell me who this lady was, and when the Isle of Man ceased to be an
+independent kingdom?

+
+305. _Grand-daughter of John Hampden._--According to the _Friend of
+India_ of 4th September, 1851, there is at Cossimbazar the following
+inscription:--
+
+            "SARAH MATTOCKS,
+                Aged 27.
+        Much lamented by her husband,
+      Lieutenant-Colonel JOHN MATTOCKS.
+        Was the grand-daughter of the
+          Great JOHN HAMDEN, Esq.,
+          Of St. James's, Westminster."
+
+In the following number (dated 11th September, 1851), the editor offers
+an apology for having omitted the date of the decease of Mrs. Mattocks,
+viz. 1778; and then remarks that--
+
+  "As she was twenty-seven years old at her death, she must have
+  been born in 1751; it was therefore impossible that she should
+  have been the grand-daughter of the great John Hampden, that died
+  in 1643, one hundred and eight years before her birth."
+
+Query, Can any of your correspondents give me any information respecting
+the subject?

+306. _Cicada or Tettigonia Septemdecim._--In Latrobe's _Rambler in North
+America_, London, 1835, vol. ii. p. 290., is a curious account of this
+insect, which visits Pennsylvania every seventeenth year, and appears
+about May 24. It is under an inch in length when it first appears early
+in the morning, and gains its strength after the sun has risen. These
+insects live ten or fifteen days, and never seem to eat any food. They
+come in swarms, and birds, pigs, and poultry fatten on them. The female
+lays her eggs in the outermost twigs of the forest; these die and drop
+on the ground. The eggs give birth to a number of small grubs, which are
+thus enabled to attain the mould without injury, and in it they
+disappear; they are forgotten till seventeen years pass, and then the
+memory of them returns, and they rise from the earth, piercing their way
+through the matted sod, the hard trampled clay, &c. They appeared in
+1749, &c., to 1834, and are expected in 1851. Has this expectation been
+fulfilled?

+307. _The British Sidanen._--Under this title (the proper spelling in
+which should be _Sina_ or _Senena_) an article appears in Vol. iv., p.
+120., comprising a portion of the genealogy of the Welsh princess, in
+which three of her sons are mentioned, viz., Owen, Llewellyn, and David.
+But there was a _fourth_ son, Roderic, who settled in England, and
+appears to have been residing there for some time, when the fatal
+rupture occurred between the two countries. It would appear that
+descendants of his have lived, and are living in our own times; among
+them, the late Dr. John Mawer, of Middleton Tyas, whose remarkable
+epitaph was given in a former number of "NOTES AND QUERIES." My first
+inquiry is, Is there known to exist any genealogy assuming to extend
+between the Rev. and learned gentleman just named and Prince Roderic? I
+am told there was one published in the _British Peerage for 1706_, at
+which time John Mawer would be three years of age; is such the fact? I
+wish also to ask, whether Prince _Owen_ was in existence at the time of
+the deaths of Llewellyn and David--whether in Wales or England? and
+whether he was the ancestor of Owen Tudor, the proud father of Henry
+VII.; and, if not, who _was_ Owen Tudor's ancestor?

+can information as to the pedigree be obtained?

+309. _Caleva Atrebatum, Site of._--May not the site of Caleva Atrebatum
+have been at Caversham, on the north of the Thames, near Reading?
+
+The distance of Caleva from Londinium was forty-four Roman miles, making
+forty English; and from Venta Belgarum, thirty-six Roman or thirty-three
+English miles.
+
+Caleva, according to Ptolemy's map, was on the north of the Thames; a
+portion of the present Oxfordshire being in the country assigned by the
+same geographer to the Atrebates.

+310. _Abigail._--Whence, or when, originated the application of
+_Abigail_, as applied to a lady's maid? It is used by Dean Swift in this
+sense; but in a way that shows that it was no new phrase in those days.

+
+311. _Etymology of Durden._--Jacob, in his _Law Dictionary_, giving
+Cowel as his authority (who, however, advances no further elucidation),
+derives the word from _dur-den_, a coppice in a valley. Does the word
+_dur_ signify wood, or, if the British _dwr_, is it not water?

+312. _Connecticut Halfpenny._--I have a halfpenny, apparently American,
+bearing on the obverse, a head to the right, and "Auctori Connect.;" and
+on the reverse, "Inde." for _independence_, and "Lib." for liberty; date
+in the exerg., 1781 or 1787; and between "Inde." and "Lib." five stars.
+Can any of your correspondents tell me if my explanation of the reverse

+_Arms displayed on Spread Eagle._--For what reason are the arms of

+two-headed eagle displayed sable?
+
+    H. N. E.
+
+  [When armorial ensigns are borne upon the breast of an eagle, the
+  general inference is that the bearers thereof are Counts of the
+  Holy Roman Empire, it being the practice in Germany for Counts of
+  the Empire so to display the eagle.
+
+  There are some cases in which especial grants have been made to
+  Englishmen so to do, as in the case of the family of _Methwen_;
+  and persons having received the royal licence in England to accept
+  the dignity of Count of the Empire, so carry their arms, as in the
+  cases of Earl Cowper, Lord Arundel of Wardour, St. Paul, &c.]

+
+_Lists of Knights Bachelor._--What publication contains a list of the
+_knights bachelor_ made by George I. and George II. (1714-1760)? With
+regard to the subsequent reign I have found the _Calendar of Knights_,
+by Francis Townsend, London, 1828, very accurate and perfect.
+
+    ==> N.
+
+  [There is not any continuous list of _Knights Bachelors_ in any
+  published works since Philpot's _Catalogue_, 1660, until
+  Townsend's _Calendar_, which commences in 1760. The knights made
+  by Kings George I. and II. will be found only in some of the
+  genealogical publications of the day, such as the _British
+  Compendium_, published at intervals between 1720 and 1769;
+  Chamberlayne's _State of Great Britain_; or Heylin's _Help to
+  English History_, or Phillipps's _List of Nobility_, and similar
+  works.
+
+  Mr Townsend contemplated the publication of a list, and left an
+  imperfect MS., which passed into the hands of Sir Thomas
+  Phillipps, who printed it; but though privately circulated, it was
+  never published. See Moule's _Bibliotheca Heraldica_ for various
+  works of the character referred to.]
+
+_Walker._--An American lady lecturing on Bloomerism last week was much
+puzzled by the audience bursting into roars of laughter upon her
+quoting Professor Walker as an authority for some statement. The roars
+redoubled upon her declaring her belief that Professor Walker was a most
+respectable and trustworthy person. Can any one explain the origin of
+the joke that lies in the name "Walker?" Why do people say "Walker" when
+they wish to express ridicule or disbelief of a questionable statement?
+
+    DAVUS.
+
+  [The history of the renowned "Hookey Walker," as related by John
+  Bee, Esq., is simply this:--John Walker was an out-door clerk at
+  Longman, Clementi, and Co.'s in Cheapside, where a great number of
+  persons were employed; and "Old Jack," who had a crooked or hooked
+  nose, occupied the post of a spy upon their aberrations, which
+  were manifold. Of course, it was for the interests of the
+  surveillants to throw discredit upon all Jack's reports to the
+  heads of the firm; and numbers could attest that those reports
+  were fabrications, however true. Jack, somehow or other, was
+  constantly outvoted, his evidence superseded, and of course
+  disbelieved; and thus his occupation ceased, but not the fame of
+  "Hookey Walker."]

+_See of Durham._--Can any of your readers inform me of "The privileges
+of, and the ancient customs appertaining to, the See of Durham?"
+
+    H. F.
+
+  Clapham, Nov. 3. 1851.
+
+  [These relate most probably to the palatine rights of the Bishops
+  of Durham, granted by Egfrid, King of Northumbria, in 685; when he
+  gave to St. Cuthbert all the land between the Wear and the Tyne,
+  called "the patrimony of St. Cuthbert," to hold in as full and
+  ample a manner as the king himself holds the same. This donative,
+  with its ancient customs and privileges, was confirmed by the
+  Danes, and afterwards by William the Conqueror; in addition to
+  which, the latter made the church a sanctuary, and the county a
+  palatinate. Its bishop was invested with as great a power and
+  prerogative within his see, as the king exercised without the
+  bounds of it, with regard to forfeitures, &c. Thus it was a kind
+  of royalty subordinate to the crown, and, by way of eminence, was
+  called _The Bishoprick_. For an account of the ancient customs
+  connected with the cathedral, our correspondent is referred to the
+  curious and interesting work of Davies of Kidwelly, entitled, _The
+  Ancient Rites and Monuments of the Monastical and Cathedral Church
+  of Durham_, 12mo. 1672, which has been republished by the Surtees

+
+CONVOCATION OF YORK.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 368.)
+
+This body (of which I am a member) ought to meet on the same occasions
+with that of Canterbury; but owing to the neglect or the wilfulness of
+its officials, many omissions and mistakes occur. I have heard a
+commission to _further_ adjourn the Convocation, from a day to which it
+previously stood adjourned, read the day _after_ that on which it ought
+to have assembled, but which day had arrived and passed without any one
+recollecting the fact! Our Convocation appears at no time to have acted
+a very prominent part, though its constitution is far better fitted for
+a working synod than that of the southern province. In the latter the
+_parochial_ clergy are so inadequately represented as to be much
+outnumbered by the _dignitaries_ appointed by the crown and the bishops;
+but in York there are _two_ proctors chosen by the clergy of _each_
+archdeaconry and peculiar jurisdiction, and _two_ by each cathedral
+chapter; thus affording a complete counterpoise to the deans and
+archdeacons who are members _ex officio_. Another peculiarity in the
+Convocation of York is, that it assembles in _one_ house, the bishops
+commonly appearing by their proxies (priests), and the archbishop
+presiding by his commissioner, who is always the dean, or one of the
+residentiary canons of York.
+
+In 1462 (_temp._ Archbishop Booth) the Convocation of York decreed that
+such constitutions of the province of Canterbury as were not prejudicial
+to those of York should be received, incorporated, and deemed as their
+own (Wilkins's _Concilia_, vol. iii. p. 580.). Under Archbishop
+Grenefeld it was decreed that since the Archbishop of York hath no
+superior in spirituals except the Pope, no appeals should be suffered to
+the Archbishop of Canterbury (p. 663.). At an earlier period the
+northern metropolitan laid claim to all England north of the Humber,
+with the whole realm of Scotland (Wilkins, vol. i. pp. 325, 479, &c.).
+In a provincial council at London, A.D. 1175, his jurisdiction was
+denied over the sees of Lincoln, _Chester_, Worcester, and Hereford,
+upon which he appealed to the Pope. With the exception of Chester,
+however, none of these sees were finally retained in the province.
+
+The next year we are told that, in a (national) council at Westminster,
+the Pope's legate presiding, the Archbishop of York, "disdaining to sit
+at the left hand of the legate, forced himself into the lap of the
+Archbishop of Canterbury, but was immediately _knocked down_ by the
+other bishops and clergy, severely beaten, and thrust out of the
+council!" (Hoveden ap. Wilkins, vol. i. p. 485.) How far the Northern
+Convocation supported their burly prelate in these claims I do not know;
+but I _note_ that in those days the disorderly conduct of the clergy was
+_not_ made a pretext for the indefinite suspension of synodical
+functions; and I _query_ whether the clergy might not be trusted to
+behave quite as well in the nineteenth century.
+
+But to return to the Convocation of York. There is a curious letter,
+A.D. 1661, from Accepted Frewen, Archbishop of York, to the Convocation,
+desiring them to send up to London some of their members duly
+commissioned on their part to sit with the Lower House of Canterbury
+for the review of the Liturgy. In this letter the archbishop says that
+himself and the other bishops of the province were sitting _with the
+bishops of the southern province in their House_. A similar expedient
+for constituting a _quasi_-national synod seems to have been resorted to
+upon some earlier occasions; but the Convocation of York still passed in
+due form by their own separate decree what was so agreed upon. The
+Articles were thus subscribed by our Convocation in 1571, and the Canons
+in 1604 and 1640.
+
+Since then the Convocation of York has been regularly summoned, met,
+adjourned, and been prorogued, without even the dutiful address to the
+crown, which is regularly discussed and adopted in Canterbury. In the
+year 1847, a spasmodic attempt at life was manifested in this venerable
+and ill-used institution. Archbishop Harcourt had consented that an
+address to the crown should be adopted, and himself procured a draft to
+be approved by the bishops. His grace however died before the day of
+meeting. Some difficulty was experienced by the officials, both in York
+and London, as to the course to be pursued; but a precedent having been
+pointed out in the reign of James I., when Archbishop Hutton died after
+summoning the Convocation and before its assembly, a writ was issued
+from the crown to the dean and chapter at York to elect a _pr�ses_ for
+the Convocation during the vacancy of the archbishoprick. They appointed
+the canon who happened to be in residence; an unusually large attendance
+was given; the Convocation was opened, the names called over, and then
+the officials had reached the limit of their experience; according to
+_their_ precedents we ought all to have been sent away. The address
+however was called on by the _pr�ses_, being apparently quite unaware
+that a _prolocutor_ should be chosen by the clergy before they proceeded
+to business. Such an officer probably seemed to the dignitary already in
+the chair like a _second King of Brentford_ "smelling at one rose," and
+the demand was refused. Further difficulties ensued, of course, the
+moment the debate was opened; and finally, the _pr�ses_, determined not
+to be tempted out of his depth, rose all at once, and read the fatal
+_formula_ which restored our glorious Chapter House to its silent
+converse with the ghosts. The Convocation has never since been heard of.

+
+THE OLD COUNTESS OF DESMOND.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 305.)
+
+If your correspondent A. B. R. will refer to Walpole's _Fugitive Pieces_
+he will find a minute inquiry into the person and age of this long-lived
+lady. This is doubtless the dissertation alluded to by C. (Vol. ii., p.
+219.) Pennant has _two_ notices of the countess in his Scotch tours. In
+that of 1769 (which somewhat strangely follows the one of 1772), he
+gives at p. 87. the engraving spoken of (Vol. iv., p. 306.), apparently
+taken from the original at Dupplin Castle. It differs a little from R.'s
+description of another portrait, as the cloak is strapped over the
+chest, not held by a button. In 1772 Pennant again describes this
+portrait in his _Tour in Scotland_, vol. ii. p. 88., and speaks of four
+others, viz., first, at Devonshire House; second, at the Hon. John
+Yorke's seat, near Cheltenham; third, at Mr. Scott's, printer; and the
+fourth, in the Standard Closet, Windsor Castle. At the back of the last
+is written with a pen "Rembrandt." "A mistake (says P.) as Rembrandt was
+not fourteen years of age (he was indeed only eight) in 1614, at which
+time it is certain the countess was not living."
+
+In my copy of the _Fugitive Pieces_ (the Strawberry Hill edition,
+presented by Walpole to Cole), I find the following manuscript note by
+Cole; _an amplification of the_ passage from Walpole's letters quoted at
+p. 306.:--
+
+  "Being at Strawberry Hill in April, 1773, I saw there a copy of
+  the picture commonly attributed to the old Countess of Desmond;
+  but Mr. Walpole told me that there is sufficient proof that it is
+  a painter's mother, I think Rembrandt's. However, by a letter from
+  Mr. Lort, April 15, 1774, he assures me that on Mr. Pennant's
+  calling at Strawberry Hill to see this picture, he was much
+  chagrined at having a print of it engraved for his book, till Mr.
+  Lort revived him by carrying him to a garret in Devonshire House,
+  where was a picture of this same countess with her name on it,
+  exactly corresponding to his engraved print. I remember a
+  tolerable good old picture of her at Mr. Dicey's, prebendary of
+  Bristol, at Walton in Bucks."
+
+Walpole could not dismiss Pennant without a disparaging remark. He is "a
+superficial man, and knows little of history or antiquity; but he has a
+violent rage for being an author." Those who live in glass houses should
+not throw stones: Pennant would not have displayed the ignorance which
+Walpole exhibits in the instance before us. In an inscription, which the
+latter gives, on a Countess of Desmond buried at Sligo, occurs the
+following contraction: "Desmoni� _Noie_ Elizabetha." Walpole says
+(_Fugitive Pieces_, p. 204.), "This word I can make no sense of, but
+_sic originale_; I take it to be redundancy of the carver. It seems to
+be a repetition of the last three syllables of Desmoni�!"
+
+The sarcastic observations which Walpole passes on the Society of
+Antiquaries, its members, and its publications, are so frequent and so
+bitter, that they must have been founded on some offence not to be
+pardoned. Were the remarks on the "Historic Doubts" by the president,
+Dean Milles, and by the Rev. Robert Masters (printed in the first two
+volumes of the _Arch�ologia_), regarded as satisfactorily confuting
+Walpole's arguments; or did he aim, but unsuccessfully, at the
+president's chair?

+COINS OF VABALATHUS.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 255.)
+
+There have been many attempts to explain the puzzling VCRIMDR, on the
+supposition that a Latin sentence was concealed under these letters.
+Pinkerton suggested "Voluntate C�saris Romani Imperatoris Maximi Domini,
+Rex." I hope to offer a better solution, which, although not new, has
+been passed over, I believe, by all subsequent writers. The Rev. George
+North, in the _Museum Meadianum_, p. 97., gives the following note:
+"Apud Arabes accepi verbum Karama significare Honoravit, a quo Ucrima,
+et Ucrim; quo sensu respondet hoc Arabicum [Greek: T� Sebast�] apud
+Gr�cos." On applying to a well-known scholar and linguist here, I found
+that from the verb _Karama_ there was derived the adjective _Kar[=i]mat_
+(nobilis), from which again the superlative _Akram_ comes. There can, I
+think, be little doubt that the word VCRIMDR is originally derived from
+this verb _Karama_, and that it is most probably equivalent to
+_Nobilissimus_, a title so common shortly afterwards, as applied to the
+heirs to the empire.[3]
+
+  [Footnote 3: "_Nobilissimus_, in the Byzantine historians, is
+  synonymous with C�sar."--_Niebuhr._]
+
+The word [Greek: SR�IAS] or [Greek: SRIAS], which appears on the
+Alexandrian coins of this prince, is of more difficult explanation. Some
+think it a pr�nomen, some a Syriac or other Eastern title, perhaps
+corresponding to VCRIMDR. Pellerin thought so. I hope some Oriental
+scholar will direct his attention to this point. These coins are very
+often ill struck, so that the part of the legend below the head, where
+the word in question is found, is indistinct, for which reason I suppose
+MR. TAYLOR has followed the erroneous reading of Banduri, [Greek:
+HERMIAS] (properly [Greek: HERMIAS], with lunate epsilon) for [Greek:
+SR�IAS], which has been corrected by Eckhel. Of three specimens which I
+possess, one only reads clearly [Greek: SR�IAS], from the
+above-mentioned cause, but it is unquestionably the correct reading on
+all. The best arrangement of the legend, from analogy with those forms
+used by the Romans, is as follows:
+
+      [Greek: AUTokrat�r . SR�IAS . OUABALLATHOS . ATH�NOd�rou . Huios.]
+
+The existence of coins, of which I possess a specimen also, reading
+
+      [Greek: A . SRIAS . OUABALLATHOS . ATH�N . U.]
+
+shows that we must not read [Greek: ATH�NOU] as one word, but must
+divide it as above. I think MR. TAYLOR will find his specimen to read as
+the last-mentioned coin, the [Greek: ER] (properly [Greek: ER]) being
+[Greek: SR], and the [Greek: AU] in like manner [Greek: AS]. My coin
+gives the whole legend distinctly, and I can vouch for the exactitude of
+the above legend.
+
+I believe there appeared some years ago, in the _Revue de Numismatique_,
+an article on the coins of the Zenobian family, but I do not remember
+when it was published, nor the conclusions to which the writer came.
+That is, however, the most recent investigation of the subject, and to
+it I must refer MR. TAYLOR, as I have not access to that periodical
+here.
+
+Sir Gardner Wilkinson has published in the _Numismatic Chronicle_, vol.
+vii. or viii., an inscription containing the names of Zenobia and
+Vabalathus. After the name of Vabalathus, who has the title of
+Autocrator, is the word [Greek: ATH�NOD�ROU], which justifies the
+reading [Greek: Ath�nod�rou Huios] on the coins. Vabalathus is thus
+probably the son of Zenobia by a former husband, Athenodorus, while
+bearing himself the same name, as Vabalathus (better Vaballathus, as on
+the Alexandrian coins) is said to be equivalent to Athenodorus, Gift of
+Pallas.

+(Vol. iv., pp. 57, 125, 193, 196, 298.)
+
+I entirely agree with you that your pages are not a fit battle-ground
+for theological controversy. Still, since the question of the
+translation of Heb. xiii. 4. has been mooted, I beg with much deference
+to suggest that it will not be quite right to let it fall to the ground
+unsettled, especially since CEPHAS has thought fit to charge those of
+our Reformers who translated the Scriptures with mistranslating
+advisedly, and with propagating new doctrines.
+
+CEPHAS'S version of the passage is right, and our English version is
+wrong; but the fault lies in the ignorance of our translators, an
+ignorance which they shared with all the scholars of their day, and many
+not bad scholars of our own, of the effect produced on the force of the
+article by the relation in which it stands to the other words in the
+clause, in point of order. [Greek: ho timios gamos] is "the honourable
+marriage;" [Greek: ho timios gamos esti] is "the honourable marriage
+is;" [Greek: ho gamos timios] is untranslateable, unless you supply
+[Greek: esti], and then it means "the marriage" (or, marriage in
+general, in the abstract) "is honourable." But [Greek: est�] might be
+supplied, as it is in Heb. xiii. 4., when it will mean, "let marriage be
+honourable:" and [Greek: timios ho gamos] has just the same meaning,
+with perhaps this difference, that the emphasis falls more distinctly on
+[Greek: timios]. The circumstance that the mere assertion that marriage
+is honourable in all (men or things), true as it is in itself, ill
+accords with the tenor of the passage of which it forms a part, which is
+hortatory, not assertive, is a good reason why CEPHAS'S version should
+be preferred. But when we find afterwards the words [Greek: kai h� koit�
+amiantos], it is impossible to deny this hortatory force to the
+sentence; for those words cannot mean "the undefiled bed:" and to
+translate them "the (or their) bed is undefiled"--which is the only
+version which they will here bear, but one--would give but a feeble
+sense. That sole remaining sense is, "the bed (let it) be undefiled;"
+subaudite [Greek: est�] in the verse is, "Let marriage be honourable in
+all" (men or things), "and the bed be undefiled; but (or for)
+whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." Had our translators known
+that [Greek: h� koit� amiantos] could not mean "the bed undefiled," they
+would at once have been driven to see that the verse is a commandment:
+and the commandment that marriage should be held honourable in all men
+(or in all respects), would have served the purpose of their doctrines
+quite as well as the affirmative form which they have given to their
+present version. I say, it would have served their purpose; but I say
+more: they heeded not what did or would serve their purpose. They looked
+only for the truth and disregarded all else in their pursuit of it. With
+regard to the controversy about [Greek: en pasi], it is immaterial which
+version be adopted. MR. WALTER is right in the rule which he enunciates,
+if he means that in those cases of adjectives in which the masculine and
+neuter forms are the same, "man" or "men," not "thing" or "things," must
+be understood: but it is not always observed, even in classical writers,
+either in Latin or in Greek. There is no reason why it should be broken
+here; and I do not believe it is broken. It must have been only by a
+slip of CEPHAS'S pen that he called [Greek: pasi] a feminine adjective.
+It undoubtedly refers to both sexes. I wish E. A. D. had given the Greek
+of the passages from Chrysostom and Augustine, of which he has
+communicated the Oxford translation, which is as likely to err, perhaps,
+as any other. Jerome's Latin, like the Vulgate, though the words are not
+precisely the same, gives a literal version of the Greek, without
+supplying any verb at all, either _est_ or _sit_, and, since the Latin
+has not that expressive power in cases like this which the article gives
+to the Greek, leaves the passage obscure and undecided.

+
+_"Crowns have their Compass," &c._ (Vol. iv., p. 294.).--The lines
+alluded to by your correspondent MR. ABSALON form a inscription on a
+portrait of King James I. in the Cracherode Collection. (Vide Beloe's
+_Anecdotes_, vol. i. p. 210.)
+
+      "Crownes have their compasse, length of dayes their date,
+      Triumphes their tombes, felicitie her fate;
+      Of more than earth can earth make none partaker,
+      But knowledge makes the king most like his Maker."
+
+I am aware that this reference does not go to the "root of the matter,"
+if MR. ABSALON wishes to ascertain the author's name; but it may serve
+as a clue to further discovery.

+
+It is quite obvious what lines your correspondent alludes to, though the
+above quotation which he gives as the commencement of them is not quite
+correct, nor were they written with the object he supposes.
+
+I send a correct copy of them below, taken from Mr. Payne Collier's very
+interesting _Life of Shakspeare_, to whom they have always been
+attributed; and, it is said, with every show of reason. It is supposed
+they were written by him in the shape of a complimentary allusion to
+King James I., in grateful acknowledgment of the patronage bestowed by
+that monarch upon the stage. The subject is fully discussed at pp. 202,
+203. of Mr. Knight's volume, whence, indeed, the above information is
+derived; and he publishes the lines, as follows, stating then to be
+copied from a coeval manuscript in his possession:--
+
+      "SHAKSPEARE ON THE KING.
+
+      "Crowns have their compass--length of days their date--
+      Triumphs their tomb--felicity, her fate--
+      Of nought but earth can earth make us partaker,
+      But knowledge makes a king most like his Maker."
+
+Some one, to make the allusion more complete, that is, to over-do it,
+changed "_a_ king" into "_the_ king" in a subsequent publication of the
+lines. But this, as Mr. Payne Collier very justly feels, completely
+spoils the whole complexion of the epigram, and perverts a fine allusion
+into a raw personality.

+_The Rev. Richard Farmer_ (Vol. iv., pp. 379.[4] 407.).--The
+observations of BOLTON CORNEY upon my incidental mention of Dr. Farmer,
+are, I think, wholly unwarranted, both in substance and manner,
+especially as he himself furnishes ample confirmation of its truth.
+
+  [Footnote 4: At page 379., second column, fifth line from bottom,
+  for "thrice" read "twice."]
+
+Taking his quotations in due order--
+
+1. The certificate of Dr. Farmer's character for learning and ability is
+unnecessary, because neither was impugned; nor does an allegation of
+atrocity in taste and judgment necessarily imply deficiency in mere
+book-learning.
+
+2. As for Isaac Reed's opinion in favour of Farmer's Essay, it might be
+met by many of directly opposite tendency, and of at least equal weight.
+
+3. In the only point really in question, BOLTON CORNEY "cannot deny that
+Farmer related the anecdote of the _wool-man_" (that being the reputed
+trade of Shakspeare's father); but to what end was it related, if not
+to suggest an application of which Steevens was only the interpreter?
+
+But BOLTON CORNEY thinks the character of the witness suspicious; he
+forgets that only just before he had stated that the anecdote and its
+application had been repeated in three editions, extending over thirteen
+years, all within the lifetime of Dr. Farmer!

+_curious fact_ that Johnson, Richardson, and Webster do not notice the
+word _earwig_ must have consulted some expurgated editions of the works
+of those celebrated lexicographers--or else we must consider his
+assertion as a _curious fact_ in the history of literary oversights.

+NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.
+
+Although there are few books which have proved of greater utility to
+inquirers into the more recent history of England than Beatson's
+_Political Index_, yet it is also true that there are few which have
+more frequently or more justly caused the reader to feel the want of a
+new and improved edition. A very short examination, however, of Mr.
+Haydn's recently published Beatson's _Political Index Modernised, The
+Book of Dignities, containing Rolls of the Official Personages of the
+British Empire, Civil, Ecclesiastical, Judicial, Military, Naval, and
+Municipal, &c._, will satisfy the reader that such want has at length
+been supplied in a manner the most ample and the most satisfactory. For
+though we have referred to Beatson's well-known work for the purpose of
+furnishing a better idea of the _Book of Dignities_, we are bound to
+acknowledge that Mr. Haydn is justified in stating, that in the work in
+question he owes little more than the plan to Beatson. Mr. Haydn's
+volume not only contains many lists (among them the "Administrations of
+England, and the Judges of the Ecclesiastical Courts") not to be found
+in the _Political Index_, but the author has had the advantage of being
+permitted to search the various official records with the view of
+enabling him to give complete and accurate information. The result, of
+course, is obvious; namely, that just in the same proportion that our
+author surpasses Beatson in the extent and accuracy of his various
+lists, does the _Book of Dignities_ exceed its predecessor in usefulness
+to the official man, the historian, and the scholar.
+
+Mr. Hunt's experience as a public lecturer at the various literary and
+scientific institutions of the country, having convinced him that for
+the majority of the members of those institutions most of the existing
+works on natural philosophy are of too abstruse and technical a
+character--are, in short, sealed books,--he has been led to publish a
+small volume which we have no doubt will soon become extremely popular.
+It is entitled _Elementary Physics, an Introduction to the Study of
+Natural Philosophy_; and, as its object is to teach physical science so
+far as to render all the great deductions from observation and
+experiment satisfactorily clear, without encountering the difficulty of
+mathematics,--and no one is better able to do this, and throw a charm
+over such a subject, than the author of the _Poetry of Science_,--the
+work, which is illustrated with upwards of two hundred woodcuts, will be
+found eminently useful; not only to those who have neither time nor
+opportunity to carry their studies beyond its pages, but especially as a
+"first book" to those in whom it may awaken the desire for a more
+perfect knowledge of the beautiful and important truths of which it
+treats.
+
+The nature of the _Hand Atlas of Physical Geography, consisting of a
+Series of Maps and Illustrations, showing the Geographical Distribution
+of Natural Phenomena, embracing the Divisions of Geology, Hydrography,
+Meteorology, Natural History: from the Physikalischer Atlas of Berghaus,
+and the Maps of the Erdkunde, drawn by and under the immediate
+Superintendence of Drs. Ritter and Kiepert, Oetzel, Grimm, &c., by the
+Editor of the University Atlas of the Middle Ages_, is sufficiently
+described by its ample title-page; which shows, moreover, that the work
+is not a mere copy or reduction of the great atlas of Berghaus, on which
+it is founded. As a companion to the works of Humboldt, Mrs. Somerville,
+and other writers on physical geography, it will be found most useful;
+while its convenient size, and moderate price, place it within the reach
+of almost all classes of readers.

+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

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

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

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

+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or

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

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<h3>
+<span>THOMAS MORE AND JOHN FISHER.</span>
+</h3>
+
+<p>Although I am afraid
+ "N<span class="smcap lowercase">OTES AND</span> Q<span class="smcap lowercase">UERIES</span>" may not be considered as open
+to contributions purely bibliographical, and admitting I am uncertain
+whether the following copy of the treatise of John Fisher, Bishop of
+Rochester, has been before noted, I am induced to send this extract from
+Techener's <i>Bulletin du Bibliophile</i> for May 1851. The book is in the
+library at Douai.</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot"> "This Treatise concernynge the fruytful Saynges of David the King
+   and prophete in the seven penytencyall psalmes, devyded in <i>ten</i>
+   sermons, was made and compyled by the ryght reverente fader in
+   god Johan Fyssher, doctour of dyvinyte and bysshop of Rochester,
+   at the exortacion and sterynge of the most excellent pryncesse
+   Margarete, Countesse of Richemount and Derby, and moder to out
+   souverayne Lorde Kynge H&#275;ry the VII."</p>
+
+<p>It is described as a small 4to., printed upon vellum, in Gothic letters,
+at London, 1508, by Wynkyn de Worde, and contains 146 leaves. On the
+first leaf it has a portcullis, crowned with the motto "Dieu et mon
+Droit." On the recto of the last leaf there is&mdash;</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot"> "Here endeth the exposycyon of the 7 psalmes. Enprynted at London
+   in the fletestrete, at the sygne of y<span class="topnum">e</span> Sonne, by Wynkyn de
+   Worde. In the yere of oure lorde

+   Lorde Kynge H&#275;ry the Seventh."</p>
+
+<p>At the back, there is the sun, the monogram of Wynkyn de Worde&mdash;the
+letters W. C. displayed as usual&mdash;and beneath, "Wynkyn de Worde."</p>
+
+<p>At the beginning of the book, "sur une garde en v�lin" (a fly-leaf of
+vellum?), there is written in a very neat hand the following ten verses,
+the profession of faith of Thomas Morus and of his friend John Fisher,
+Bishop of Rochester:</p>
+
+<div class="poem">
+
+    <p>  "The surest meanes for to attaine</p>
+      <p>The perfect waye to endlesse blisse</p>
+      <p>Are happie lief and to remaine</p>

+      <p>And if thy conscience be sae sounde</p>
+      <p>To thinse thy faith is truth indeede</p>
+      <p>Beware in thee noe schisme be founde</p>
+     <p> That unitie may have her meede;</p>
+     <p> If unitie thow doe embrace</p>
+      <p>In heaven (<i>en</i>?)joy possesse thy place."</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<p class="noindent">Beneath&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem">
+
+      <p>"Qui non rect� vivit in unitate ecclesi�</p>
+     <p> Catholic�, salvus esse non potest."</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<p class="noindent">And lower on the same page&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem">
+
+      <p>"Thomas Morus dn&#772;s cancellarius Angli�</p>
+      <p>Joh. Fisher Ep�s Roffensis."</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<p>It is traditionally reported, upon the testimony of some Anglican
+Benedictines (an order now extinct), that the lines which contain the
+profession of faith, and those which follow, are in the handwriting of
+Bishop Fisher, and that the work was<a id="Page_418"></a>
+ <span class="pagenum">[418]</span>
+ presented by him to the
+chancellor, during their imprisonment, when by order of Henry VIII. the
+chancellor was denied the consolation of his books.</p>
+
+<p>In the same library there is a fine Psalter, which belonged to Queen
+Elizabeth. The <i>Livre d'Heures</i> of Mary Queen of Scots was here also to
+be found: "Maria, glorious martyr and Queen of Scotland." It is
+conjectured these books were brought to Douai by the fugitive English
+Roman Catholic priests. In 1790 their collections were confiscated and
+given to the public library of Douai. It would be of interest to
+ascertain, if possible, the authenticity of the <i>Heures � l'Usage</i>,
+stated to have belonged to Mary Queen of Scots. Upon this point one may
+be permitted to be sceptical. I have myself seen two. One of these, it
+was said, had been used by Mary on the scaffold, and contained a note in
+the handwriting, as I think, of James II. attesting the fact. It was
+understood to have been obtained from a monastery in France. The other,
+a small Prayer Book MS. in vellum, of good execution, had the signature
+"M." with a line I think over it of "O Lord, deliver me from my
+enemies!" in French. I am, however, now writing from memory, and, in the
+first case, of very many years.</p>
+
+<p>Whether the line, "Maria, glorious martyr and Queen of Scotland," be
+written in the Psalter, or has been added by the mental excitement of M.
+Duthill&oelig;ul, the librarian at Douai, I cannot decide. The grand
+culmination of "and Queen of Scotland" forms doubtless a very striking
+anti-thesis: but neither the possessor of the book nor a priest would
+have so sunk the martyr, although a woman and a queen were alike
+concerned, as this line does. Lowndes states there is a copy of the
+bishop's treatise on vellum at Cambridge. A copy is in the British
+Museum; but the title, according, to Lowndes, has <i>seven</i> sermons. It
+will be observed the title now given has <i>ten</i>.</p>

+<h3>
+<span>NOTES ON NEWSPAPERS.</span>
+</h3>
+
+<p>The social elements of society in the seventeenth century were more
+simple in their character and development than at the present period.
+The population was comparatively small, and therefore the strivings for
+success in any pursuit did not involve that severe conflict which is so
+frequently the case in the present day. Society then was more of a
+community than it is now. It had not public bodies to aid it. It was
+left more to its own inherent resources for reciprocal good, and for
+mutual help. The temptations to evade and dissemble, in matters of
+business, or private and public negotiations, were not so strong as they
+now are. Its transactions were more transparent and defined, because
+they were fewer and less complicated than many of our own. We readily
+grant that society now, in its social, religious, and commercial
+aspects, enjoys advantages immeasurably superior to those of any former
+period; still there are some few advantages which it had then, that it
+cannot possess now. The following advertisements, from the newspapers of
+the time, will illustrate the truth of the foregoing remarks:</p>
+
+<p>From a <i>Collection for Improvement of Husbandry and Trade</i>.</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot"> Friday, January 26, 1693/4.</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot">"One that is fit to keep a Warehouse, be a Steward, or do any
+   Business that can be supposed an intelligent Man that has been a
+   Shopkeeper is fit for, and can give any Security that can be
+   desired, as far as Ten Thousand Pound goes, and has some Estate
+   of his own, desires an Employment of One hundred Pounds a year,
+   or upwards. I can give an account of him."</p>
+
+<p>That a man having 10,000<i>l.</i> to give as security, and in possession of
+an estate, should require a situation of 100<i>l.</i> per annum, sounds oddly
+enough in our ears. "I can give an account of him," denotes that the
+editor was a man well known and duly appreciated. He appears to have
+been a scribe useful in many ways. He was known, and knowing.</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot">Friday, February 2, 1693/4.</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot"> "A very eminent Brewer, and one I know to be a very honest
+   Gentleman, wants an Apprentice. I can give an account of him."</p>
+
+<p>In what sense the word "honest" must here be taken it is difficult to
+define. As an eminent brewer, we should naturally conclude he must have
+been an honest man. He is here very eminent and very honest.</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot"> Friday March 16, 1693/4.</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot"> "Many Masters want Apprentices, and many Youths want Masters. If
+   they apply themselves to me, I'll strive to help them. Also for
+   variety of valuable services."</p>
+
+<p>Here is the editor of a paper offering his help to masters and
+apprentices for their mutual good. Let us suppose an advertisement of
+this kind appearing in <i>The Times</i> of our own day. Printing-house Square
+would not contain a tithe of the individuals who would present
+themselves for the reception of this accommodating aid. In such a case
+the editors (as it regards their particular duties) would be cyphers,
+for a continuous absorption of their time would necessarily occur in the
+carrying out of this benevolent offer. This advertisement may be
+considered as <i>multum in parvo</i>, giving the wants of the many in an
+announcement of three or four lines, connecting them with a variety of
+services which in those days were thought to be valuable. How greatly
+are we assisted by these little incidents in forming correct views of
+the state of society at that period.</p>
+
+<p>The next advertisement shows the value set upon the services of one who
+was to perform the duties of a clerk, and to play well on the
+violin.<a id="Page_419"></a>
+ <span class="pagenum">[419]</span></p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot"> "If any young Man that plays well on a Violin, and writes a good
+   Hand, desires a Clerkship, I can help him to Twenty Pounds a
+   year."</p>
+
+<p>Of course twenty pounds was of more value then than it is now: still it
+seems a small sum for the performance of such duties, for twelve months.
+Here is musical talent required for the amusement of others, in
+combination with the daily duties of a particular profession. An
+efficient musician, and a good writer, and all for 20<i>l.</i> per annum! We
+learn by the editor's "I can help him," his readiness to assist all who
+would advertise in his journal, to obtain those employments which their
+advertisements specified.</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot">Friday, April 6, 1694.</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot">  "A Grocer of good business desires an Apprentice of good growth."</p>
+
+<p>The "good growth" must have been intended to convey the idea of height
+and strength.</p>
+
+<p>My next article shall be devoted to advertisements of another class,
+further illustrating the state of society and the peculiarities of the
+people at the end of the seventeenth century.</p>

+<h3>
+<span>TREATISE OF EQUIVOCATION.</span>
+</h3>
+
+<p>As having originated the inquiry in
+ "N<span class="smcap lowercase">OTES AND</span>
+Q<span class="smcap lowercase">UERIES</span>"<a id="queries1"></a><a title="Go to footnote 1." href="#fn1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a> respecting
+this Treatise, under the signature of J. M., I feel great obligation
+both to the editor of that journal, and the editor of the Treatise
+itself, for having brought it to light by publication, and added it to
+the stock of accurate and very important historical information. Indeed,
+a real vacancy was left for it; and it is a subject of high
+self-gratulation, that a boon previously, and for a length of time,
+hidden and unproductive, is now accessible and operative without limit.
+I have no doubt that all your readers, and the whole reading public,
+join with me in rejoicing that the editorship of the work has fallen
+into hands so competent and so successful.</p>
+
+<p class="footnote"><a id="fn1"></a><a title="Return to text." href="#queries1" class="label">[1]</a> Vol. i., pp. 263. 357.;
+Vol. ii., pp. 136. 168. 446. 490.</p>
+
+<p>I was, not for ten, but twenty years or more, in quest of the MS. now so
+happily made public property, and should have fallen upon it much
+earlier, but for the misleading title under which it appears, where it
+<i>is</i> really; for it has been found. In the <i>Catalogus Lib. MSS.</i>: Ox.
+1697, among the Laudian MSS. appears, p. 62., "968.95. <i>A Treatise</i>
+against <i>Equivocation, or fraudulent Dissimulation</i>." <i>Against!</i> when no
+such word is in the original, and the real matter and meaning is <i>for</i>!
+I had, at some early time, marked the very entry; but presuming that the
+work had been actually <i>printed</i> (which I believe it was in a very few
+copies, which have disappeared), naturally enough I did not pursue the
+search in that direction. Others, I am happy, have, and I am gratified.</p>
+
+<p>The work is very important; for there is not a work more evidently
+genuine and authentic than this is proved to be by plain historic
+evidence, both as to the document itself and the facts which it attests.
+The witness, or witnesses, appearing in it, give their testimony
+respecting themselves with the most unsuspectable simplicity. They meant
+not, and have not, misrepresented themselves: they have proclaimed their
+own doctrine for themselves respecting Equivocation and Mental
+Reservation&mdash;the last of which is really of most importance; and it was
+most needful to the Roman body at the time, and under their
+circumstances. Their object, for mere safety, was concealment as to
+their resorts or residences. They could not exist, as they did, without
+the assistance and knowledge of many individuals, some of inferior
+class. Against the incessant inquiries to which they were exposed they
+had no defence, except the power of disappointing or misleading by
+ambiguity or deception, which was completely secured by reserved
+termination in the mind to any uttered declaration. Now, there is in
+this very Treatise <i>plain admission</i> that all the co-religionists of the
+endangered party, particularly a lady who is distinctly noticed, were
+not convinced of the moral rectitude of such a procedure; and it was
+necessary, or expedient, that their hesitation should be removed. And
+this seems to be the main object of the present work. How far it has
+succeeded must depend upon the evidence which is adduced.</p>
+
+<p>We have generally had the doctrine of the Roman body on the subject of
+the Treatise presented by opponents; here we have it as deliberately
+stated by themselves. There is a passage rather observable in p. 103.,
+beginning at the bottom and extending to the words "he hath no such
+meaning to tell them," of which we are not acquainted with a duplicate.
+But the whole has something of the freshness and interest of novelty.</p>
+
+<p><i>Macbeth</i>, it is agreed, I believe, was written in 1607, consequently
+after the Powder Plot, when the doctrine before us was brought forward
+pointedly against the traitors. Might there not be some reference to the
+fact in the Second Act, where the porter of the castle, roused by
+repeated knockings, on the murder, after other exclamations in the
+manner of the poet, proceeds:</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot">"Here's an Equivocator, that could swear in both the scales,
+   against either scale: who committed treason enough for God's
+   sake, yet could not equivocate to heaven. Oh, come in,
+   Equivocator"?</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Jardine will thank your correspondent for pointing out an error or
+two which should be corrected in another edition. At p. 44., for
+"<span title="[Greek: chtho]">&#967;&#952;&#959;</span>," in the margin, should be printed "<i>sub verbo</i>." The
+word in the MS. is a contraction to that effect:<a id="Page_420"></a>
+ <span class="pagenum">[420]</span> the capital "V"
+has a curved stroke across the first line of the "V," followed by
+"<i>bo</i>." Generally the <i>Dubium</i>, in alphabetic works of the kind referred
+to, ranks under some alphabetic word, one or more, as it may happen; but
+in Em. S�'s work the word <i>Dubium</i> comes under the letter D., and this
+is meant to be expressed. At p. 49. the footnote should be omitted, as
+the Vulgate, which is followed, calls the 1st of <i>Samuel</i> the 1st of
+<i>Kings</i>. The first line of p. 56. should have "<i>autem</i>" instead of
+"<i>antea</i>." I have inspected the MS. carefully, and therefore speak with
+confidence.</p>

+
+<p>So understood, 1st, the passage is according to Virgil's usual manner,
+the latter part of the line explaining and defining the general
+statement contained in the former; and, 2ndly, Pallas kills her enemy,
+not by the somewhat roundabout and unusual method of first striking him
+with thunder, and then snatching him up in a whirlwind, and then either
+dashing him against a sharp rock, and leaving him impaled there, or, as
+I have shown is undoubtedly the meaning, impaling him with a sharp rock,
+but by the more compendious and less out-of-the-way method of first
+striking him with thunder, and then whirling a sharp-pointed rock on top
+of him, so as to impale him.</p>
+
+<p>From Milton's imitation of this passage, in his <i>Paradise Lost</i> (ii.

+
+<p>I think, on the contrary, that <i>incedo</i>, both here and elsewhere,
+expresses only the stepping or walking motion generally, and that the
+character of the step or walk, if inferable at all, is to be inferred
+only from the context. Accordingly, "Magnifice incedit"
+(Liv. <span class="smcap lowercase">II.</span> 6.);
+"Turpe incedere" (Catull. <span class="smcap lowercase">XXXXII.</span> 8.); "Molliter incedit" (Ovid, <i>Amor.</i>
+<span class="smcap lowercase">II.</span> 23.); "Passu incedit inerti" (Ovid, <i>Metam.</i> II. 772.); "Melius est

+"Incessus omnibus animalibus certus et uniusmodi, et in suo, cuique,
+genere" (Plin. <span class="smcap lowercase">X.</span> 38.).</p>
+
+<p>The emphasis, therefore, is on <i>regina</i>, and the meaning is, <i>I who
+step, or walk, <span class="smcap lowercase">QUEEN</span> of the Gods</i>; the dignity of the step being not
+expressed by "incedo," but inferable from "regina." The expression
+corresponds exactly to "ibit regina" (<i>�n.</i> <span class="smcap lowercase">II.</span> 578.); with this
+difference only, that "ibit" does not, like "incedo," specify motion on
+foot.</p>
+
+<p>"Jovisque et soror et conjux."&mdash;Both the <i>ets</i> are emphatic. "Jovisque

+<h4>
+<span><i>Justice to Pope Pius V.</i></span>
+</h4>
+
+<p>&mdash;You have done yourself credit by exonerating
+Queen Elizabeth from a charge the easiest to bring, and the most
+difficult to rebut, implying the proof of a negative; and therefore
+frequently brought by the unprincipled. I propose, as a counterpart, to
+exonerate Pope Pius V. from an imputation, mistakingly, though unjustly,
+cast upon him by an authority of no less weight than that of Sir Walter
+Scott. In his edition of <i>Somers's Tracts</i>, vol. i. p. 192., occurs a
+note on a place in the <i>execution of justice</i>: "Pius V. resolved to make
+his bastard son, Boncompagni, Marquis of Vincola, King of Ireland," &amp;c.
+For this assertion no authority is cited, nor indeed could be. The very
+name might have suggested the filiation to his successor, Gregory XIII.,
+which was the fact. In a work, not much known, <i>The Burnt Child dreads
+the Fire, &amp;c.</i>, by William Denton, M.D., London, 1675, at p. 25. we
+read, "Gregory XIII. had a bastard, <i>James Buon Compagna</i>, and to him he
+gave <i>Ireland</i>, and impowered <i>Stewkely</i> with men, arms, and
+money,<a id="Page_422"></a>
+ <span class="pagenum">[422]</span> to conquer it for him."<a id="him2"></a><a title="Go to footnote 2." href="#fn2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a> There is no reason to doubt,
+that with the editor of the <i>Tracts</i> the above imputation was a simple
+mistake; but it is an important duty of all who interfere with
+historical literature, to state and correct every discovered instance of
+the kind.</p>
+
+<p class="footnote"><a id="fn2"></a><a title="Return to text." href="#him2" class="label">[2]</a> Camden,
+ in his <i>Elizabeth</i>, under 1578, states the fact

+
+<h3>
+<span>CROSSES AND CRUCIFIXES.</span>
+</h3>
+
+<p>In the 22nd volume of the <i>Arch�ologia</i>, p. 58., is the following
+passage:</p>
+
+<p class="blockquot">"The cross, which does not appear to have been peculiar to
+   Christianity, when introduced on these obelisks, is usually
+   filled with tracery."</p>
+
+<p>The obelisks, or stones of memorial, referred to are the subjects of a
+very interesting paper communicated by Mr. Logan to the Society of
+Antiquaries. (See Plates 2, 3, 4, and 5.) I am desirous of being
+informed what authenticated instances there are of crosses, or stones
+marked with crosses, being used for landmarks, memorials, or for any
+other purpose, civil or religious, before the introduction of
+Christianity? I have met with one instance. Prescott, in his <i>History of
+Mexico</i>, relates that&mdash;</p>
+
+<p class="blockquot"> "In the court of one of the temples in the island of Columel he
+   was amazed by the sight of a cross of stone and lime, about ten
+   palms high."</p>
+
+<p>It was the emblem of the god of rain (See vol. i. p. 240., &amp;c.)</p>
+
+<p>In the same paper Mr. Logan observes&mdash;</p>
+
+<p class="blockquot">"Crosses, or stones on which the figure was traced, marked a
+   place of meeting for certain districts; and within memory of man
+   a fair was held on this spot. It is not improbable that
+   market-crosses may be deduced from this custom."</p>
+
+<p>It seems that every town that had the privilege of a market or fair (I
+am speaking of England) had a market-cross. In most of these towns the
+cross has disappeared, and in its place a ball or globe has been mounted
+on the shaft; but the term "market-cross" is still in use. In the town
+of Giggleswick, in the parish of Giggleswick, there is a perfect
+market-cross, the cross being what is, I believe, called a cross-fleury.
+In the town of Settle, in the same parish of Giggleswick, the ball or
+globe is placed on the top of the shaft. Are there other instances of
+market towns in which the cross is still found?</p>
+
+<p>I passed through a market town lately in which the stone steps, and
+socket in which the shaft was placed, are preserved; but they have been
+removed to one corner of the market-place. The shaft and cross have
+disappeared.</p>
+
+<p>Is not this erection of the cross, in places in which markets and fairs
+were held, of ecclesiastical origin? Was the cross erected by licence
+granted by the bishop within whose jurisdiction it was placed? Is there
+any grant of such licence in existence? Or did these crosses originate
+in the gratuitous piety of our ancestors? I fear to ask the question,
+whether the buyers and sellers under the cross are more upright in their
+dealings than those who buy and sell without the presence of this emblem
+of all that is true and just. Is the cross erected in the cities and
+towns of other states, as in England? Was the custom general in Europe?</p>
+
+ <p class="right">F. W. J.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Curzon states, in the introduction to his <i>Monasteries of the
+Levant</i>, that&mdash;</p>
+
+  <p class="blockquot">"The crucifix was not known before the fifth or sixth century,
+   though the cross was always the emblem of the Christian faith."</p>
+
+<p>I am persuaded that this assertion is incorrect, and that the crucifix
+was used in much earlier times. Will some one kindly inform me where the
+first mention of it is to be found, and what is the date of the earliest
+examples now known?</p>

+<h3>
+<span>MASTER OF THE BUCKHOUNDS.</span>
+</h3>
+
+<p>In reading the <i>Topographer</i> for January 1791 (a work which was
+published under the editorship of my uncle, Sir Egerton Brydges), I was
+surprised to find, in an account of the family of Brocas, of
+Beaurepaire, in the county of Hampshire, that the post of Master of the
+Buckhounds had been sold in the reign of James I.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Gough (<i>Sepulchral Monuments</i>, pp. 160, 161.) appears to be the
+authority quoted who describes the monument of Sir Bernard Brocas, Kt.,
+as existing at Westminster, and having on it an inscription in which is
+the following sentence:</p>
+
+<p class="blockquot"> "Sir Bernard succeeded to the paternal inheritance both in
+   England and France, and having married Mary, daughter and heiress
+   of Sir John de Roche, had a large estate with her, and the
+   hereditary post of Master of the Buckhounds; which was confirmed
+   to him by King Edward the Third, and held by the family, till
+   sold in James the First's reign."</p>
+
+<p>I have no means of ascertaining at the present time whether this
+monument is still in existence or not; nor indeed has that much to do
+with the object of my writing, which is to suggest the following
+Queries, in the hope that some of your correspondents may be able to
+send satisfactory answers.</p>
+
+<p>1. By whom was the post of Master of the Buckhounds first instituted,
+and who was the first Master?<a id="Page_423"></a>
+ <span class="pagenum">[423]</span></p>
+
+<p>2. Is there any list of persons holding this office; and if so, where
+may it be seen?</p>
+
+<p>3. Is there any instance of an unmarried lady having held it: for in the
+case before us we see that a lady was able to convey it by inheritance
+to her husband?</p>
+
+<p>4. By whom was it sold? Was it by the last hereditary possessor; and if
+so, what was his name? Or was it by the king, on the death of one of the
+possessors, for the purpose of enriching himself?</p>
+
+<p>5. Is it known whether there is any other instance of its having been
+sold: and when did it come to be, as now, a ministerial office?</p>

+come in swarms, and birds, pigs, and poultry fatten on them. The female
+lays her eggs in the outermost twigs of the forest; these die and drop
+on the ground. The eggs give birth to a number of small grubs, which are
+thus enabled to attain the mould without injury, and in it they
+disappear; they are forgotten till seventeen years pass, and then the
+memory of them returns, and they rise from the earth, piercing their way

+<h3>
+<span>CONVOCATION OF YORK.<br />
+(Vol. iv., p. 368.)</span>
+</h3>
+
+<p>This body (of which I am a member) ought to meet on the same occasions
+with that of Canterbury; but owing to the neglect or the wilfulness of
+its officials, many omissions and mistakes occur. I have heard a
+commission to <i>further</i> adjourn the Convocation, from a day to which it
+previously stood adjourned, read the day <i>after</i> that on which it ought
+to have assembled, but which day had arrived and passed without any one
+recollecting the fact! Our Convocation appears at no time to have acted
+a very prominent part, though its constitution is far better fitted for
+a working synod than that of the southern province. In the latter the
+<i>parochial</i> clergy are so inadequately represented as to be much
+outnumbered by the <i>dignitaries</i> appointed by the crown and the bishops;
+but in York there are <i>two</i> proctors chosen by the clergy of <i>each</i>
+archdeaconry and peculiar jurisdiction, and <i>two</i> by each cathedral
+chapter; thus affording a complete counterpoise to the deans and
+archdeacons who are members <i>ex officio</i>. Another peculiarity in the
+Convocation of York is, that it assembles in <i>one</i> house, the bishops
+commonly appearing by their proxies (priests), and the archbishop
+presiding by his commissioner, who is always the dean, or one of the
+residentiary canons of York.</p>
+
+<p>In 1462 (<i>temp.</i> Archbishop Booth) the Convocation of York decreed that
+such constitutions of the province of Canterbury as were not prejudicial
+to those of York should be received, incorporated, and deemed as their
+own (Wilkins's <i>Concilia</i>, vol. iii. p. 580.). Under Archbishop
+Grenefeld it was decreed that since the Archbishop of York hath no
+superior in spirituals except the Pope, no appeals should be suffered to
+the Archbishop of Canterbury (p. 663.). At an earlier period the
+northern metropolitan laid claim to all England north of the Humber,
+with the whole realm of Scotland (Wilkins, vol. i. pp. 325, 479, &amp;c.).
+In a provincial council at London, <span class="smcap lowercase">A.D.</span> 1175, his jurisdiction was
+denied over the sees of Lincoln, <i>Chester</i>, Worcester, and Hereford,
+upon which he appealed to the Pope. With the exception of Chester,
+however, none of these sees were finally retained in the province.</p>
+
+<p>The next year we are told that, in a (national) council at Westminster,
+the Pope's legate presiding, the Archbishop of York, "disdaining to sit
+at the left hand of the legate, forced himself into the lap of the
+Archbishop of Canterbury, but was immediately <i>knocked down</i> by the
+other bishops and clergy, severely beaten, and thrust out of the
+council!" (Hoveden ap. Wilkins, vol. i. p. 485.) How far the Northern
+Convocation supported their burly prelate in these claims I do not know;
+but I <i>note</i> that in those days the disorderly conduct of the clergy was
+<i>not</i> made a pretext for the indefinite suspension of synodical
+functions; and I <i>query</i> whether the clergy might not be trusted to
+behave quite as well in the nineteenth century.</p>
+
+<p>But to return to the Convocation of York. There is a curious letter,
+<span class="smcap lowercase">A.D.</span> 1661, from Accepted Frewen, Archbishop of York, to the Convocation,
+desiring them to send up to London some of their members duly
+commissioned on their part to sit<a id="Page_426"></a>
+ <span class="pagenum">[426]</span> with the Lower House of
+Canterbury for the review of the Liturgy. In this letter the archbishop
+says that himself and the other bishops of the province were sitting
+<i>with the bishops of the southern province in their House</i>. A similar
+expedient for constituting a <i>quasi</i>-national synod seems to have been
+resorted to upon some earlier occasions; but the Convocation of York
+still passed in due form by their own separate decree what was so agreed
+upon. The Articles were thus subscribed by our Convocation in 1571, and
+the Canons in 1604 and 1640.</p>
+
+<p>Since then the Convocation of York has been regularly summoned, met,
+adjourned, and been prorogued, without even the dutiful address to the
+crown, which is regularly discussed and adopted in Canterbury. In the
+year 1847, a spasmodic attempt at life was manifested in this venerable
+and ill-used institution. Archbishop Harcourt had consented that an
+address to the crown should be adopted, and himself procured a draft to
+be approved by the bishops. His grace however died before the day of
+meeting. Some difficulty was experienced by the officials, both in York
+and London, as to the course to be pursued; but a precedent having been
+pointed out in the reign of James I., when Archbishop Hutton died after
+summoning the Convocation and before its assembly, a writ was issued
+from the crown to the dean and chapter at York to elect a <i>pr�ses</i> for
+the Convocation during the vacancy of the archbishoprick. They appointed
+the canon who happened to be in residence; an unusually large attendance
+was given; the Convocation was opened, the names called over, and then
+the officials had reached the limit of their experience; according to
+<i>their</i> precedents we ought all to have been sent away. The address
+however was called on by the <i>pr�ses</i>, being apparently quite unaware
+that a <i>prolocutor</i> should be chosen by the clergy before they proceeded
+to business. Such an officer probably seemed to the dignitary already in
+the chair like a <i>second King of Brentford</i> "smelling at one rose," and
+the demand was refused. Further difficulties ensued, of course, the
+moment the debate was opened; and finally, the <i>pr�ses</i>, determined not
+to be tempted out of his depth, rose all at once, and read the fatal
+<i>formula</i> which restored our glorious Chapter House to its silent
+converse with the ghosts. The Convocation has never since been heard of.</p>

+<h3>
+<span>THE OLD COUNTESS OF DESMOND.<br />
+(Vol. iv., p. 305.)</span>
+</h3>
+
+<p>If your correspondent A. B. R. will refer to Walpole's <i>Fugitive Pieces</i>
+he will find a minute inquiry into the person and age of this long-lived
+lady. This is doubtless the dissertation alluded to by C. (Vol. ii., p.
+219.) Pennant has <i>two</i> notices of the countess in his Scotch tours. In
+that of 1769 (which somewhat strangely follows the one of 1772), he
+gives at p. 87. the engraving spoken of (Vol. iv., p. 306.), apparently
+taken from the original at Dupplin Castle. It differs a little from R's.
+description of another portrait, as the cloak is strapped over the
+chest, not held by a button. In 1772 Pennant again describes this
+portrait in his <i>Tour in Scotland</i>, vol. ii. p. 88., and speaks of four
+others, viz., first, at Devonshire House; second, at the Hon. John
+Yorke's seat, near Cheltenham; third, at Mr. Scott's, printer; and the
+fourth, in the Standard Closet, Windsor Castle. At the back of the last
+is written with a pen "Rembrandt." "A mistake (says P.) as Rembrandt was
+not fourteen years of age (he was indeed only eight) in 1614, at which
+time it is certain the countess was not living."</p>
+
+<p>In my copy of the <i>Fugitive Pieces</i> (the Strawberry Hill edition,
+presented by Walpole to Cole), I find the following manuscript note by
+Cole; <i>an amplification of the</i> passage from Walpole's letters quoted at
+p. 306.:&mdash;</p>
+
+<p class="blockquot"> "Being at Strawberry Hill in April, 1773, I saw there a copy of
+   the picture commonly attributed to the old Countess of Desmond;
+   but Mr. Walpole told me that there is sufficient proof that it is
+   a painter's mother, I think Rembrandt's. However, by a letter
+   from Mr. Lort, April 15, 1774, he assures me that on Mr.
+   Pennant's calling at Strawberry Hill to see this picture, he was
+   much chagrined at having a print of it engraved for his book,
+   till Mr. Lort revived him by carrying him to a garret in
+   Devonshire House, where was a picture of this same countess with
+   her name on it, exactly corresponding to his engraved print. I
+   remember a tolerable good old picture of her at Mr. Dicey's,
+   prebendary of Bristol, at Walton in Bucks."</p>
+
+<p>Walpole could not dismiss Pennant without a disparaging remark. He is "a
+superficial man, and knows little of history or antiquity; but he has a
+violent rage for being an author." Those who live in glass houses should
+not throw stones: Pennant would not have displayed the ignorance which
+Walpole exhibits in the instance before us. In an inscription, which the
+latter gives, on a Countess of Desmond buried at Sligo, occurs the
+following contraction: "Desmoni� <i>Noie</i> Elizabetha." Walpole says
+(<i>Fugitive Pieces</i>, p. 204.), "This word I can make no sense of, but
+<i>sic originale</i>; I take it to be redundancy of the carver. It seems to
+be a repetition of the last three syllables of Desmoni�!"</p>
+
+<p>The sarcastic observations which Walpole passes on the Society of
+Antiquaries, its members, and its publications, are so frequent and so
+bitter, that they must have been founded on some offence not to be
+pardoned. Were the remarks on the "Historic Doubts" by the president,
+Dean Milles, and by the Rev. Robert Masters (printed in the first two
+volumes of the <i>Arch�ologia</i>), regarded as<a id="Page_427"></a>
+ <span class="pagenum">[427]</span> satisfactorily
+confuting Walpole's arguments; or did he aim, but unsuccessfully, at the
+president's chair?</p>

+<h3>
+<span>COINS OF VABALATHUS.<br />
+(Vol. iv., p. 255.)</span>
+</h3>
+
+<p>There have been many attempts to explain the
+puzzling <span class="smcap lowercase">VCRIMDR</span>, on the
+supposition that a Latin sentence was concealed under these letters.
+Pinkerton suggested "Voluntate C�saris Romani Imperatoris Maximi Domini,
+Rex." I hope to offer a better solution, which, although not new, has
+been passed over, I believe, by all subsequent writers. The Rev. George
+North, in the <i>Museum Meadianum</i>, p. 97., gives the following note:
+"Apud Arabes accepi verbum Karama significare Honoravit, a quo Ucrima,
+et Ucrim; quo sensu respondet hoc Arabicum <span title="[Greek: T� Sebast�]">&#932;&#8183; &#931;&#949;&#946;&#945;&#963;&#964;&#8183;</span> apud
+Gr�cos." On applying to a well-known scholar and linguist here, I found
+that from the verb <i>Karama</i> there was derived the adjective <i>Kar&#299;mat</i>
+(nobilis), from which again the superlative <i>Akram</i> comes. There can, I
+think, be little doubt that the word
+ <span class="smcap lowercase">VCRIMDR</span> is originally derived from
+this verb <i>Karama</i>, and that it is most probably equivalent to
+<i>Nobilissimus</i>, a title so common shortly afterwards, as applied to the
+heirs to the empire.<a id="empire3"></a><a title="Go to footnote 3." href="#fn3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a> </p>
+
+<p class="footnote"><a id="fn3"></a><a title="Return to text." href="#empire3" class="label">[3]</a> "<i>Nobilissimus</i>,
+in the Byzantine historians, is synonymous
+with C�sar."&mdash;<i>Niebuhr.</i></p>
+
+<p>The word <span title="[Greek: SR�IAS]">&#1017;&#929;&#937;&#921;&#913;&#1017;</span> or
+<span title="[Greek: SRIAS]">&#1017;&#929;&#921;&#913;&#1017;</span>, which appears on the
+Alexandrian coins of this prince, is of more difficult explanation. Some
+think it a pr�nomen, some a Syriac or other Eastern title, perhaps
+corresponding to
+<span class="smcap lowercase">VCRIMDR</span>. Pellerin thought so. I hope some Oriental
+scholar will direct his attention to this point. These coins are very
+often ill struck, so that the part of the legend below the head, where
+the word in question is found, is indistinct, for which reason I suppose
+M<span class="smcap lowercase">R.</span> T<span class="smcap lowercase">AYLOR</span> has

+<span title="[Greek: SR�IAS]">&#1017;&#929;&#937;&#921;&#913;&#1017;</span>, from the
+above-mentioned cause, but it is unquestionably the correct reading on
+all. The best arrangement of the legend, from analogy with those forms
+used by the Romans, is as follows:</p>
+
+<div class="poem">

+<span title="[Greek: ATH�NOU]">&#913;&#920;&#919;&#925;&#927;&#933;</span> as one word, but must
+divide it as above. I think M<span class="smcap lowercase">R.</span> T<span class="smcap lowercase">AYLOR</span> will find his specimen to read as
+the last-mentioned coin, the
+<span title="[Greek: ER]">&#917;&#929;</span> (properly

+<span title="[Greek: AS]">&#913;&#1017;</span>. My coin
+gives the whole legend distinctly, and I can vouch for the exactitude of
+the above legend.</p>
+
+<p>I believe there appeared some years ago, in the <i>Revue de Numismatique</i>,
+an article on the coins of the Zenobian family, but I do not remember
+when it was published, nor the conclusions to which the writer came.
+That is, however, the most recent investigation of the subject, and to
+it I must refer M<span class="smcap lowercase">R.</span> T<span class="smcap lowercase">AYLOR</span>, as I have not access to that periodical
+here.</p>
+
+<p>Sir Gardner Wilkinson has published in the <i>Numismatic Chronicle</i>, vol.
+vii. or viii., an inscription containing the names of Zenobia and
+Vabalathus. After the name of Vabalathus, who has the title of
+Autocrator, is the word
+<span title="[Greek: ATH�NOD�ROU]">&#913;&#920;&#919;&#925;&#927;&#916;&#937;&#929;&#927;&#933;</span>, which justifies the

+probably the son of Zenobia by a former husband, Athenodorus, while
+bearing himself the same name, as Vabalathus (better Vaballathus, as on
+the Alexandrian coins) is said to be equivalent to Athenodorus, Gift of

+
+<p>C<span class="smcap lowercase">EPHAS'S</span> version of the passage is right, and our English version is

+<span title="[Greek: esti]">&#7952;&#963;&#964;&#8055;</span>, and then it means "the marriage" (or, marriage in
+general, in the abstract) "is honourable." But
+<span title="[Greek: est�]">&#7956;&#963;&#964;&#969;</span> might be
+supplied, as it is in Heb. xiii. 4., when it will mean, "let marriage be
+honourable:" and
+<span title="[Greek: timios ho gamos]">&#964;&#8055;&#956;&#953;&#959;&#962; &#8001; &#947;&#8049;&#956;&#959;&#962;</span> has just the same meaning,
+with perhaps this difference, that the emphasis falls more distinctly on
+<span title="[Greek: timios]">&#964;&#8055;&#956;&#953;&#959;&#962;</span>. The circumstance that the mere assertion that marriage
+is honourable in all (men or things), true as it is in itself, ill
+accords with the tenor of the passage of which it forms a part, which is
+hortatory, not assertive, is a good reason why<a id="Page_428"></a>
+ <span class="pagenum">[428]</span>
+ C<span class="smcap lowercase">EPHAS'S</span> version
+should be preferred. But when we find afterwards the words
+<span title="[Greek: kai h� koit� amiantos]">&#954;&#945;&#8054; &#7969; &#954;&#959;&#8055;&#964;&#951; &#7936;&#956;&#8055;&#945;&#957;&#964;&#959;&#962;</span>, it
+ is impossible to deny this hortatory force to the
+sentence; for those words cannot mean "the undefiled bed:" and to
+translate them "the (or their) bed is undefiled"&mdash;which is the only
+version which they will here bear, but one&mdash;would give but a feeble
+sense. That sole remaining sense is, "the bed (let it) be undefiled;"
+subaudite
+<span title="[Greek: est�]">&#7956;&#963;&#964;&#969;</span> in the verse is, "Let marriage be honourable in
+all" (men or things), "and the bed be undefiled; but (or for)
+whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." Had our translators known
+that
+<span title="[Greek: h� koit� amiantos]">&#7969; &#954;&#959;&#8055;&#964;&#951; &#7936;&#956;&#8055;&#945;&#957;&#964;&#959;&#962;</span> could not mean "the bed undefiled," they
+would at once have been driven to see that the verse is a commandment:
+and the commandment that marriage should be held honourable in all men
+(or in all respects), would have served the purpose of their doctrines
+quite as well as the affirmative form which they have given to their
+present version. I say, it would have served their purpose; but I say
+more: they heeded not what did or would serve their purpose. They looked
+only for the truth and disregarded all else in their pursuit of it. With
+regard to the controversy about
+<span title="[Greek: en pasi]">&#7952;&#957; &#960;&#8118;&#963;&#953;</span>, it is immaterial which
+version be adopted. M<span class="smcap lowercase">R.</span> W<span class="smcap lowercase">ALTER</span> is right in the rule which he enunciates,
+if he means that in those cases of adjectives in which the masculine and
+neuter forms are the same, "man" or "men," not "thing" or "things," must
+be understood: but it is not always observed, even in classical writers,
+either in Latin or in Greek. There is no reason why it should be broken
+here; and I do not believe it is broken. It must have been only by a
+slip of C<span class="smcap lowercase">EPHAS'S</span> pen that he called
+<span title="[Greek: pasi]">&#960;&#8118;&#963;&#953;</span> a feminine adjective.
+It undoubtedly refers to both sexes. I wish E. A. D. had given the Greek
+of the passages from Chrysostom and Augustine, of which he has
+communicated the Oxford translation, which is as likely to err, perhaps,
+as any other. Jerome's Latin, like the Vulgate, though the words are not
+precisely the same, gives a literal version of the Greek, without
+supplying any verb at all, either <i>est</i> or <i>sit</i>, and, since the Latin
+has not that expressive power in cases like this which the article gives
+to the Greek, leaves the passage obscure and undecided.</p>

+portrait of King James I. in the Cracherode Collection. (Vide Beloe's

+
+<p>It is quite obvious what lines your correspondent alludes to, though the
+above quotation which he gives as the commencement of them is not quite
+correct, nor were they written with the object he supposes.</p>
+
+<p>I send a correct copy of them below, taken from Mr. Payne Collier's very
+interesting <i>Life of Shakspeare</i>, to whom they have always been
+attributed; and, it is said, with every show of reason. It is supposed
+they were written by him in the shape of a complimentary allusion to
+King James I., in grateful acknowledgment of the patronage bestowed by
+that monarch upon the stage. The subject is fully discussed at pp. 202,
+203. of Mr. Knight's volume, whence, indeed, the above information is
+derived; and he publishes the lines, as follows, stating then to be
+copied from a coeval manuscript in his possession:&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem">
+
+<div class="stanza">
+
+      <p>"SHAKSPEARE ON THE KING.</p>
+

+

+    <p>  Of nought but earth can earth make us partaker,</p>
+      <p>But knowledge makes a king most like his Maker."</p>
+
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p>Some one, to make the allusion more complete, that is, to over-do it,
+changed "<i>a</i> king" into "<i>the</i> king" in a subsequent publication of the
+lines. But this, as Mr. Payne Collier very justly feels, completely
+spoils the whole complexion of the epigram, and perverts a fine allusion
+into a raw personality.</p>

+
+<p>Although there are few books which have proved of greater utility to
+inquirers into the more recent history of England than Beatson's
+<i>Political Index</i>, yet it is also true that there are few which have
+more frequently or more justly caused the reader to feel the want of a
+new and improved edition. A very short examination, however, of Mr.
+Haydn's recently published Beatson's <i>Political Index Modernised, The
+Book of Dignities, containing Rolls of the Official Personages of the
+British Empire, Civil, Ecclesiastical, Judicial, Military, Naval, and
+Municipal, &amp;c.</i>, will satisfy the reader that such want has at length
+been supplied in a manner the most ample and the most satisfactory. For
+though we have referred to Beatson's well-known work for the purpose of
+furnishing a better idea of the <i>Book of Dignities</i>, we are bound to
+acknowledge that Mr. Haydn is justified in stating, that in the work in
+question he owes little more than the plan to Beatson. Mr. Haydn's
+volume not only contains many lists (among them the "Administrations of
+England, and the Judges of the Ecclesiastical Courts") not to be found
+in the <i>Political Index</i>, but the author has had the advantage of being
+permitted to search the various official records with the view of
+enabling him to give complete and accurate information. The result, of
+course, is obvious; namely, that just in the same proportion that our
+author surpasses Beatson in the extent and accuracy of his various
+lists, does the <i>Book of Dignities</i> exceed its predecessor in usefulness
+to the official man, the historian, and the scholar.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Hunt's experience as a public lecturer at the various literary and
+scientific institutions of the country, having convinced him that for
+the majority of the members of those institutions most of the existing
+works on natural philosophy are of too abstruse and technical a
+character&mdash;are, in short, sealed books,&mdash;he has been led to publish a
+small volume which we have no doubt will soon become extremely popular.
+It is entitled <i>Elementary Physics, an Introduction to the Study of
+Natural Philosophy</i>; and, as its object is to teach physical science so
+far as to render all the great deductions from observation and
+experiment satisfactorily clear, without encountering the difficulty of
+mathematics,&mdash;and no one is better able to do this, and throw a charm
+over such a subject, than the author of the <i>Poetry of Science</i>,&mdash;the
+work, which is illustrated with upwards of two hundred woodcuts, will be
+found eminently useful; not only to those who have neither time nor
+opportunity to carry their studies beyond its pages, but especially as a
+"first book" to those in whom it may awaken the desire for a more
+perfect knowledge of the beautiful and important truths of which it
+treats.</p>
+
+<p>The nature of the <i>Hand Atlas of Physical Geography, consisting of a
+Series of Maps and Illustrations, showing the Geographical Distribution
+of Natural Phenomena, embracing the Divisions of Geology, Hydrography,
+Meteorology, Natural History: from the Physikalischer Atlas of Berghaus,
+and the Maps of the Erdkunde, drawn by and under the immediate
+Superintendence of Drs. Ritter and Kiepert, Oetzel, Grimm, &amp;c., by the
+Editor of the University Atlas of the Middle Ages</i>, is sufficiently
+described by its ample title-page; which shows, moreover, that the work
+is not a mere copy or reduction of the great atlas of Berghaus, on which
+it is founded. As a companion to the works of Humboldt, Mrs. Somerville,
+and other writers on physical geography, it will be found most useful;
+while its convenient size, and moderate price, place it within the reach
+of almost all classes of readers.</p>

+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free

+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

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

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted

+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked

+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than

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

+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you

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

+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free

+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the

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

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

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a

+
+THOMAS MORE AND JOHN FISHER.
+
+Although I am afraid "NOTES AND QUERIES" may not be considered as open
+to contributions purely bibliographical, and admitting I am uncertain
+whether the following copy of the treatise of John Fisher, Bishop of
+Rochester, has been before noted, I am induced to send this extract from
+Techener's _Bulletin du Bibliophile_ for May 1851. The book is in the
+library at Douai.
+
+  "This Treatise concernynge the fruytful Saynges of David the King
+  and prophete in the seven penytencyall psalmes, devyded in _ten_
+  sermons, was made and compyled by the ryght reverente fader in god
+  Johan Fyssher, doctour of dyvinyte and bysshop of Rochester, at
+  the exortacion and sterynge of the most excellent pryncesse
+  Margarete, Countesse of Richemount and Derby, and moder to out
+  souverayne Lorde Kynge H[=e]ry the VII."
+
+It is described as a small 4to., printed upon vellum, in Gothic letters,
+at London, 1508, by Wynkyn de Worde, and contains 146 leaves. On the
+first leaf it has a portcullis, crowned with the motto "Dieu et mon
+Droit." On the recto of the last leaf there is--
+
+  "Here endeth the exposycyon of the 7 psalmes. Enprynted at London
+  in the fletestrete, at the sygne of ye Sonne, by Wynkyn de Worde.
+  In the yere of oure lorde M.CCCCC.VIII. ye 16 day of ye moneth of
+  Juyn. The XXIII. yere of ye reygne of our souverayne Lorde Kynge
+  H[=e]ry the Seventh."
+
+At the back, there is the sun, the monogram of Wynkyn de Worde--the
+letters W. C. displayed as usual--and beneath, "Wynkyn de Worde."
+
+At the beginning of the book, "sur une garde en velin" (a fly-leaf of
+vellum?), there is written in a very neat hand the following ten verses,
+the profession of faith of Thomas Morus and of his friend John Fisher,
+Bishop of Rochester:
+
+      "The surest meanes for to attaine
+      The perfect waye to endlesse blisse
+      Are happie lief and to remaine
+      W'thin ye church where virtue is;
+      And if thy conscience be sae sounde
+      To thinse thy faith is truth indeede
+      Beware in thee noe schisme be founde
+      That unitie may have her meede;
+      If unitie thow doe embrace
+      In heaven (_en_?)joy possesse thy place."
+
+Beneath--
+
+      "Qui non recte vivit in unitate ecclesiae
+      Catholicae, salvus esse non potest."
+
+And lower on the same page--
+
+      "Thomas Morus d[=n]s cancellarius Angliae
+      Joh. Fisher Epus Roffensis."
+
+It is traditionally reported, upon the testimony of some Anglican
+Benedictines (an order now extinct), that the lines which contain the
+profession of faith, and those which follow, are in the handwriting of
+Bishop Fisher, and that the work was presented by him to the
+chancellor, during their imprisonment, when by order of Henry VIII. the
+chancellor was denied the consolation of his books.
+
+In the same library there is a fine Psalter, which belonged to Queen
+Elizabeth. The _Livre d'Heures_ of Mary Queen of Scots was here also to
+be found: "Maria, glorious martyr and Queen of Scotland." It is
+conjectured these books were brought to Douai by the fugitive English
+Roman Catholic priests. In 1790 their collections were confiscated and
+given to the public library of Douai. It would be of interest to
+ascertain, if possible, the authenticity of the _Heures a l'Usage_,
+stated to have belonged to Mary Queen of Scots. Upon this point one may
+be permitted to be sceptical. I have myself seen two. One of these, it
+was said, had been used by Mary on the scaffold, and contained a note in
+the handwriting, as I think, of James II. attesting the fact. It was
+understood to have been obtained from a monastery in France. The other,
+a small Prayer Book MS. in vellum, of good execution, had the signature
+"M." with a line I think over it of "O Lord, deliver me from my
+enemies!" in French. I am, however, now writing from memory, and, in the
+first case, of very many years.
+
+Whether the line, "Maria, glorious martyr and Queen of Scotland," be
+written in the Psalter, or has been added by the mental excitement of M.
+Duthilloeul, the librarian at Douai, I cannot decide. The grand
+culmination of "and Queen of Scotland" forms doubtless a very striking
+anti-thesis: but neither the possessor of the book nor a priest would
+have so sunk the martyr, although a woman and a queen were alike
+concerned, as this line does. Lowndes states there is a copy of the
+bishop's treatise on vellum at Cambridge. A copy is in the British
+Museum; but the title, according, to Lowndes, has _seven_ sermons. It
+will be observed the title now given has _ten_.

+
+NOTES ON NEWSPAPERS.
+
+The social elements of society in the seventeenth century were more
+simple in their character and development than at the present period.
+The population was comparatively small, and therefore the strivings for
+success in any pursuit did not involve that severe conflict which is so
+frequently the case in the present day. Society then was more of a
+community than it is now. It had not public bodies to aid it. It was
+left more to its own inherent resources for reciprocal good, and for
+mutual help. The temptations to evade and dissemble, in matters of
+business, or private and public negotiations, were not so strong as they
+now are. Its transactions were more transparent and defined, because
+they were fewer and less complicated than many of our own. We readily
+grant that society now, in its social, religious, and commercial
+aspects, enjoys advantages immeasurably superior to those of any former
+period; still there are some few advantages which it had then, that it
+cannot possess now. The following advertisements, from the newspapers of
+the time, will illustrate the truth of the foregoing remarks:
+
+From a _Collection for Improvement of Husbandry and Trade_.
+
+  Friday, January 26, 1693/4.
+
+  "One that is fit to keep a Warehouse, be a Steward, or do any
+  Business that can be supposed an intelligent Man that has been a
+  Shopkeeper is fit for, and can give any Security that can be
+  desired, as far as Ten Thousand Pound goes, and has some Estate of
+  his own, desires an Employment of One hundred Pounds a year, or
+  upwards. I can give an account of him."
+
+That a man having 10,000_l._ to give as security, and in possession of
+an estate, should require a situation of 100_l._ per annum, sounds oddly
+enough in our ears. "I can give an account of him," denotes that the
+editor was a man well known and duly appreciated. He appears to have
+been a scribe useful in many ways. He was known, and knowing.
+
+  Friday, February 2, 1693/4.
+
+  "A very eminent Brewer, and one I know to be a very honest
+  Gentleman, wants an Apprentice. I can give an account of him."
+
+In what sense the word "honest" must here be taken it is difficult to
+define. As an eminent brewer, we should naturally conclude he must have
+been an honest man. He is here very eminent and very honest.
+
+  Friday March 16, 1693/4.
+
+  "Many Masters want Apprentices, and many Youths want Masters. If
+  they apply themselves to me, I'll strive to help them. Also for
+  variety of valuable services."
+
+Here is the editor of a paper offering his help to masters and
+apprentices for their mutual good. Let us suppose an advertisement of
+this kind appearing in _The Times_ of our own day. Printing-house Square
+would not contain a tithe of the individuals who would present
+themselves for the reception of this accommodating aid. In such a case
+the editors (as it regards their particular duties) would be cyphers,
+for a continuous absorption of their time would necessarily occur in the
+carrying out of this benevolent offer. This advertisement may be
+considered as _multum in parvo_, giving the wants of the many in an
+announcement of three or four lines, connecting them with a variety of
+services which in those days were thought to be valuable. How greatly
+are we assisted by these little incidents in forming correct views of
+the state of society at that period.
+
+The next advertisement shows the value set upon the services of one who
+was to perform the duties of a clerk, and to play well on the violin.
+
+  "If any young Man that plays well on a Violin, and writes a good
+  Hand, desires a Clerkship, I can help him to Twenty Pounds a
+  year."
+
+Of course twenty pounds was of more value then than it is now: still it
+seems a small sum for the performance of such duties, for twelve months.
+Here is musical talent required for the amusement of others, in
+combination with the daily duties of a particular profession. An
+efficient musician, and a good writer, and all for 20_l._ per annum! We
+learn by the editor's "I can help him," his readiness to assist all who
+would advertise in his journal, to obtain those employments which their
+advertisements specified.
+
+  Friday, April 6, 1694.
+
+  "A Grocer of good business desires an Apprentice of good growth."
+
+The "good growth" must have been intended to convey the idea of height
+and strength.
+
+My next article shall be devoted to advertisements of another class,
+further illustrating the state of society and the peculiarities of the
+people at the end of the seventeenth century.

+
+
+TREATISE OF EQUIVOCATION.
+
+As having originated the inquiry in "NOTES AND QUERIES"[1] respecting
+this Treatise, under the signature of J. M., I feel great obligation
+both to the editor of that journal, and the editor of the Treatise
+itself, for having brought it to light by publication, and added it to
+the stock of accurate and very important historical information. Indeed,
+a real vacancy was left for it; and it is a subject of high
+self-gratulation, that a boon previously, and for a length of time,
+hidden and unproductive, is now accessible and operative without limit.
+I have no doubt that all your readers, and the whole reading public,
+join with me in rejoicing that the editorship of the work has fallen
+into hands so competent and so successful.
+
+  [Footnote 1: Vol. i., pp. 263. 357.; Vol. ii., pp. 136. 168. 446.
+  490.]
+
+I was, not for ten, but twenty years or more, in quest of the MS. now so
+happily made public property, and should have fallen upon it much
+earlier, but for the misleading title under which it appears, where it
+_is_ really; for it has been found. In the _Catalogus Lib. MSS._: Ox.
+1697, among the Laudian MSS. appears, p. 62., "968.95. _A Treatise_
+against _Equivocation, or fraudulent Dissimulation_." _Against!_ when no
+such word is in the original, and the real matter and meaning is _for_!
+I had, at some early time, marked the very entry; but presuming that the
+work had been actually _printed_ (which I believe it was in a very few
+copies, which have disappeared), naturally enough I did not pursue the
+search in that direction. Others, I am happy, have, and I am gratified.
+
+The work is very important; for there is not a work more evidently
+genuine and authentic than this is proved to be by plain historic
+evidence, both as to the document itself and the facts which it attests.
+The witness, or witnesses, appearing in it, give their testimony
+respecting themselves with the most unsuspectable simplicity. They meant
+not, and have not, misrepresented themselves: they have proclaimed their
+own doctrine for themselves respecting Equivocation and Mental
+Reservation--the last of which is really of most importance; and it was
+most needful to the Roman body at the time, and under their
+circumstances. Their object, for mere safety, was concealment as to
+their resorts or residences. They could not exist, as they did, without
+the assistance and knowledge of many individuals, some of inferior
+class. Against the incessant inquiries to which they were exposed they
+had no defence, except the power of disappointing or misleading by
+ambiguity or deception, which was completely secured by reserved
+termination in the mind to any uttered declaration. Now, there is in
+this very Treatise _plain admission_ that all the co-religionists of the
+endangered party, particularly a lady who is distinctly noticed, were
+not convinced of the moral rectitude of such a procedure; and it was
+necessary, or expedient, that their hesitation should be removed. And
+this seems to be the main object of the present work. How far it has
+succeeded must depend upon the evidence which is adduced.
+
+We have generally had the doctrine of the Roman body on the subject of
+the Treatise presented by opponents; here we have it as deliberately
+stated by themselves. There is a passage rather observable in p. 103.,
+beginning at the bottom and extending to the words "he hath no such
+meaning to tell them," of which we are not acquainted with a duplicate.
+But the whole has something of the freshness and interest of novelty.
+
+_Macbeth_, it is agreed, I believe, was written in 1607, consequently
+after the Powder Plot, when the doctrine before us was brought forward
+pointedly against the traitors. Might there not be some reference to the
+fact in the Second Act, where the porter of the castle, roused by
+repeated knockings, on the murder, after other exclamations in the
+manner of the poet, proceeds:
+
+  "Here's an Equivocator, that could swear in both the scales,
+  against either scale: who committed treason enough for God's sake,
+  yet could not equivocate to heaven. Oh, come in, Equivocator"?
+
+Mr. Jardine will thank your correspondent for pointing out an error or
+two which should be corrected in another edition. At p. 44., for
+"[Greek: chtho]," in the margin, should be printed "_sub verbo_." The
+word in the MS. is a contraction to that effect: the capital "V" has a
+curved stroke across the first line of the "V," followed by "_bo_."
+Generally the _Dubium_, in alphabetic works of the kind referred to,
+ranks under some alphabetic word, one or more, as it may happen; but in
+Em. Sa's work the word _Dubium_ comes under the letter D., and this is
+meant to be expressed. At p. 49. the footnote should be omitted, as the
+Vulgate, which is followed, calls the 1st of _Samuel_ the 1st of
+_Kings_. The first line of p. 56. should have "_autem_" instead of
+"_antea_." I have inspected the MS. carefully, and therefore speak with
+confidence.

+NOTES ON VIRGIL.
+
+(_Continued from_ p. 308.)
+
+      IV. "Illum expirantem transfixo pectore flammas
+          Turbine corripuit scopuloque infixit acuto."
+
+          Virg. _AEn._ I. 48.
+
+  "TURBINE; volubilitate ventorum. SCOPULO; saxo
+  eminenti."--_Servius._
+
+  "Hub sie im Wirbel empor, und spiesst' an ein scharfes Gestein
+  ihn."--_Voss._
+
+  "Ipsum vero Pallas fulmine percussum procellae vi scopulo etiam
+  allisit."--_Heyne._
+
+  "Impegit rupi acutae."--_Ruaeus._
+
+  "Infixit. _Inflixit_, lectionem quorundam MSS. facile praetulissem,
+  et quod statim praecesserit _transfixo_, unde evadit inconcinna
+  cognatae dictionis repetitio, et quod etiam AEn. x. 303.:
+
+      "'Namque inflicta vadis, dorso dum pendet iniquo,'
+
+  "si Sidon. Apoll. v. 197. haud tueretur vulgatam scripturam:
+
+                           "'Fixusque Capharei
+      Cautibus, inter aquas flammam ructabat Oileus.'"--_Wakefield._
+
+To which criticism of Wakefields's, Forbiger adds: "Praeterea etiam acuto
+scopulo _infigendi_ voc. accommodatius videtur quam _infligendi_." And
+Wagner: "acuto scopulo _infigi_ melius."
+
+This interpretation and these criticisms are founded altogether on a
+false conception of the meaning of the word _infigere_, which is never
+to fix _on_, but always either to fix _in_, or to fix _with_, i.e.
+pierce _with_. _Scopulo infixit acuto_, _fixed or pinned_ down or to the
+ground _with_ a sharp rock; _i.e._ hurled a sharp-pointed rock on him,
+so as to nail him to the ground. So (_AEn._ XII. 721.) "Cornua obnixi
+infigunt," fix their horns, not _on_, but _in_; infix their horns; stick
+their horns into each other; stick each other with their horns: _q.d._
+Cornibus se mutuo infigunt: and, exactly parallel to our text:
+
+      "Saturnius me sic _infixit_ Jupiter,
+      Jovisque numen Mulcibri adscivit manus.
+      Hos ille _cuneos_ fabrica crudeli _inserens_,
+      Perrupit artus; qua miser sollertia
+      Transverberatus, castrum hoc Furiarum incolo."
+
+      Cicero (translating from AEschylus), _Tuscul. Quaest._ II. 10.
+
+In confirmation of this view of the passage, I may observe: 1st, that it
+is easier to imagine a man staked to the ground by a sharp-pointed rock,
+than flung on a sharp-pointed rock, so as to remain permanently impaled
+on it; and 2dly, that the account given of the transaction, both by
+Quintus Calaber and Seneca, agree as perfectly with this view as they
+disagree with the opposite:
+
+      [Greek: Kai ny ken exelyxe kakon moron, ei me ar' auto,
+      rhexas aian enerthen, epiproeeke kolonen;
+      eute paros megaloio kat' Enkeladoio daiphron
+      Pallas aeiramene Sikelen epikabbale neson;
+      e rh' eti kaietai aien hyp' akamatoio Gigantos,
+      aithaloen pneiontos eso chthonos; hos ara Lokron
+      amphekalypsen anakta dysammoron oureos akre,
+      hypsothen exeripousa, baryne de karteron andra;
+      amphi de min thanatoio melas ekichesat' olethros,
+      gaie homos dmethenta, kai akamato eni ponto.]
+
+      Quintus Calab. XIV. 579.
+
+And so Seneca; who, having presented us with Ajax clinging to the rock
+to which he had swum for safety, after his ship had been sunk, and
+himself struck with lightning, and there uttering violent imprecations
+against the Deity, adds:
+
+                "Plura cum auderet furens,
+      Tridente rupem subruit pulsam pater
+      Neptunus, imis exerens undis caput,
+      Solvitque montem; quem cadens secum tulit:
+      Terraque et igne victus et pelago jacet."
+
+      _Agam._ 552.
+
+And, so also, beyond doubt, we are to understand Sidonius
+Apollinaris's--
+
+                                "Fixusque Capharei
+      Cautibus, inter aquas flammam ructabat Oileus."
+
+Not, with Wakefield and the other commentators, _fixed on_ the rocks of
+Caphareus, but, _pierced with_ the rocks of Caphareus, and lying under
+them. Compare (_AEn._ IX. 701.) "fixo pulmone," the pierced lung; "fixo
+cerebro" (_AEn._ XII. 537.); "verubus trementia figunt" (_AEn._ I. 216.),
+not, fix _on_ the spits, but, stick or pierce _with_ the spits; and
+especially (Ovid. _Ibis._ 341.),
+
+      "Viscera sic aliquis scopulus tua figat, ut olim
+        Fixa sub Euboico Graia fuere sinu,"
+
+pierced and pinned down with a rock, at the bottom of the Euboean gulf.
+
+TURBINE. SCOPULO.--Not two instruments, _a whirlwind and a rock_, but
+one single instrument, _a whirling rock_; scopulo turbineo; in modo
+turbinis se circumagente; as if Virgil had said, Solo affixit illum
+correptum et transverberatum scopulo acuto in eum maxima vi rotato: or,
+more briefly, Turbine scopuli acuti corripuit et infixit. Compare:
+
+      "Praecipitem scopulo atque ingentis turbine saxi
+      Excutit effunditque solo."--_AEn._ XII. 531.
+
+                            "Stupet obvia leto
+      Turba super stantem, atque emissi turbine montis
+      Obruitur."--Stat. _Theb._ II. 564.
+
+      "Idem altas turres saxis et turbine crebro
+      Laxat."--Stat. _Theb._ X. 742.
+
+So understood, 1st, the passage is according to Virgil's usual manner,
+the latter part of the line explaining and defining the general
+statement contained in the former; and, 2ndly, Pallas kills her enemy,
+not by the somewhat roundabout and unusual method of first striking him
+with thunder, and then snatching him up in a whirlwind, and then either
+dashing him against a sharp rock, and leaving him impaled there, or, as
+I have shown is undoubtedly the meaning, impaling him with a sharp rock,
+but by the more compendious and less out-of-the-way method of first
+striking him with thunder, and then whirling a sharp-pointed rock on top
+of him, so as to impale him.
+
+From Milton's imitation of this passage, in his _Paradise Lost_ (ii.
+180.), it appears that even he fell into the general and double error:
+
+      "Caught in a fiery tempest shall be hurled,
+      Each on his rock transfixed."
+
+Caro's translation shows that he had no definite idea whatever of the
+meaning:
+
+                          "A tale un turbo
+      In preda il die; che per acuti scogli
+      Miserabil ne fe' rapina, e scempio."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+      V. "Ast ego, quae Divum incedo regina, Jovisque
+         Et soror et conjux, una cum gente tot annos
+         Bella gero."--_AEn._ I. 50.
+
+  "'INCEDERE' wird besonders von der feierlichen, wuerdevollen
+  Haltung im Gange gebraucht: vers 500, von der Dido, 'Regina
+  incessit.' (Ruhnk. zu _Terent. And._ I. i. 100. _Eun._ v. 3. 9.)
+  Deshalb der majestaetischen Juno eigenthuemlich, [Greek: Heraion
+  badizein]. Also nicht fuer _sum_, sondern ganz
+  eigentlich."--_Thiel._
+
+      "But I who walk in awful state above."
+
+      _Dryden._
+
+  "_Incedere_ est _ingredi_, sed proprie cum quadam pompa et
+  fastu."--_Gesner._
+
+  "Incessus dearum, imprimis Junonis, gravitate sua
+  notus."--_Heyne._
+
+And so also Holdsworth and Ruaeus.
+
+I think, on the contrary, that _incedo_, both here and elsewhere,
+expresses only the stepping or walking motion generally, and that the
+character of the step or walk, if inferable at all, is to be inferred
+only from the context. Accordingly, "Magnifice incedit" (Liv. II. 6.);
+"Turpe incedere" (Catull. XXXXII. 8.); "Molliter incedit" (Ovid, _Amor._
+II. 23.); "Passu incedit inerti" (Ovid, _Metam._ II. 772.); "Melius est
+incessu regem quam imperium regno claudicare" (Justin. VI. ii. 6.);
+"Incessus omnibus animalibus certus et uniusmodi, et in suo, cuique,
+genere" (Plin. X. 38.).
+
+The emphasis, therefore, is on _regina_, and the meaning is, _I who
+step, or walk, QUEEN of the Gods_; the dignity of the step being not
+expressed by "incedo," but inferable from "regina." The expression
+corresponds exactly to "ibit regina" (_AEn._ II. 578.); with this
+difference only, that "ibit" does not, like "incedo," specify motion on
+foot.
+
+"Jovisque et soror et conjux."--Both the _ets_ are emphatic. "Jovisque
+_et_ soror _et_ conjux."
+
+"Bella" expresses the organised resistance which she meets, and the
+uncertainty of the issue; and being placed first word in the line is
+emphatic.

+
+_Verses presented to General Monck._--The subjoined notice of a curious
+entry in the records of the Belfast corporation may be acceptable. The
+author is unknown. They are inscribed, "Verses to General Monck," and,
+as the last six lines show, are an attack on the Rump Parliament:--
+
+      Advants George Monck, and Monck St. George shall be,
+      England's restorer to its liberty,
+      Scotland's protector, Ireland's president,
+      Reducing all to affree parliament.
+      And if thou dost intend the other thing,
+      Go on, and all shall cry God save ye king.
+
+        R. R doth rebellion represent,
+        V. By V nought else but villainy is meant,
+        M. M murther signifies all men doe knowe,
+        P. P perjuries in fashion grow.
+
+            Then R and V with M and P
+            Conjoined make up our misery.
+
+The occasion of their presentation is unknown. General Monck took
+Belfast in 1646 from the Scotch, who being true Presbyterians of the
+older school, had turned against the parliament. This was the probable
+occasion of their being presented to the future restorer of King Charles
+II.

+
+_Justice to Pope Pius V._--You have done yourself credit by exonerating
+Queen Elizabeth from a charge the easiest to bring, and the most
+difficult to rebut, implying the proof of a negative; and therefore
+frequently brought by the unprincipled. I propose, as a counterpart, to
+exonerate Pope Pius V. from an imputation, mistakingly, though unjustly,
+cast upon him by an authority of no less weight than that of Sir Walter
+Scott. In his edition of _Somers's Tracts_, vol. i. p. 192., occurs a
+note on a place in the _execution of justice_: "Pius V. resolved to make
+his bastard son, Boncompagni, Marquis of Vincola, King of Ireland," &c.
+For this assertion no authority is cited, nor indeed could be. The very
+name might have suggested the filiation to his successor, Gregory XIII.,
+which was the fact. In a work, not much known, _The Burnt Child dreads
+the Fire, &c._, by William Denton, M.D., London, 1675, at p. 25. we
+read, "Gregory XIII. had a bastard, _James Buon Compagna_, and to him he
+gave _Ireland_, and impowered _Stewkely_ with men, arms, and money, to
+conquer it for him."[2] There is no reason to doubt, that with the
+editor of the _Tracts_ the above imputation was a simple mistake; but it
+is an important duty of all who interfere with historical literature, to
+state and correct every discovered instance of the kind.
+
+  [Footnote 2: Camden, in his _Elizabeth_, under 1578, states the
+  fact without mention of the name, only calling him "the pope's
+  bastard;" but the date is the sixth year of the pontificate of
+  Gregory XIII.]

+
+CROSSES AND CRUCIFIXES.
+
+In the 22nd volume of the _Archaeologia_, p. 58., is the following
+passage:
+
+  "The cross, which does not appear to have been peculiar to
+  Christianity, when introduced on these obelisks, is usually filled
+  with tracery."
+
+The obelisks, or stones of memorial, referred to are the subjects of a
+very interesting paper communicated by Mr. Logan to the Society of
+Antiquaries. (See Plates 2, 3, 4, and 5.) I am desirous of being
+informed what authenticated instances there are of crosses, or stones
+marked with crosses, being used for landmarks, memorials, or for any
+other purpose, civil or religious, before the introduction of
+Christianity? I have met with one instance. Prescott, in his _History of
+Mexico_, relates that--
+
+  "In the court of one of the temples in the island of Columel he
+  was amazed by the sight of a cross of stone and lime, about ten
+  palms high."
+
+It was the emblem of the god of rain (See vol. i. p. 240., &c.)
+
+In the same paper Mr. Logan observes--
+
+  "Crosses, or stones on which the figure was traced, marked a place
+  of meeting for certain districts; and within memory of man a fair
+  was held on this spot. It is not improbable that market-crosses
+  may be deduced from this custom."
+
+It seems that every town that had the privilege of a market or fair (I
+am speaking of England) had a market-cross. In most of these towns the
+cross has disappeared, and in its place a ball or globe has been mounted
+on the shaft; but the term "market-cross" is still in use. In the town
+of Giggleswick, in the parish of Giggleswick, there is a perfect
+market-cross, the cross being what is, I believe, called a cross-fleury.
+In the town of Settle, in the same parish of Giggleswick, the ball or
+globe is placed on the top of the shaft. Are there other instances of
+market towns in which the cross is still found?
+
+I passed through a market town lately in which the stone steps, and
+socket in which the shaft was placed, are preserved; but they have been
+removed to one corner of the market-place. The shaft and cross have
+disappeared.
+
+Is not this erection of the cross, in places in which markets and fairs
+were held, of ecclesiastical origin? Was the cross erected by licence
+granted by the bishop within whose jurisdiction it was placed? Is there
+any grant of such licence in existence? Or did these crosses originate
+in the gratuitous piety of our ancestors? I fear to ask the question,
+whether the buyers and sellers under the cross are more upright in their
+dealings than those who buy and sell without the presence of this emblem
+of all that is true and just. Is the cross erected in the cities and
+towns of other states, as in England? Was the custom general in Europe?
+
+    F. W. J.
+
+Mr. Curzon states, in the introduction to his _Monasteries of the
+Levant_, that--
+
+  "The crucifix was not known before the fifth or sixth century,
+  though the cross was always the emblem of the Christian faith."
+
+I am persuaded that this assertion is incorrect, and that the crucifix
+was used in much earlier times. Will some one kindly inform me where the
+first mention of it is to be found, and what is the date of the earliest
+examples now known?

+MASTER OF THE BUCKHOUNDS.
+
+In reading the _Topographer_ for January 1791 (a work which was
+published under the editorship of my uncle, Sir Egerton Brydges), I was
+surprised to find, in an account of the family of Brocas, of
+Beaurepaire, in the county of Hampshire, that the post of Master of the
+Buckhounds had been sold in the reign of James I.
+
+Mr. Gough (_Sepulchral Monuments_, pp. 160, 161.) appears to be the
+authority quoted who describes the monument of Sir Bernard Brocas, Kt.,
+as existing at Westminster, and having on it an inscription in which is
+the following sentence:
+
+  "Sir Bernard succeeded to the paternal inheritance both in England
+  and France, and having married Mary, daughter and heiress of Sir
+  John de Roche, had a large estate with her, and the hereditary
+  post of Master of the Buckhounds; which was confirmed to him by
+  King Edward the Third, and held by the family, till sold in James
+  the First's reign."
+
+I have no means of ascertaining at the present time whether this
+monument is still in existence or not; nor indeed has that much to do
+with the object of my writing, which is to suggest the following
+Queries, in the hope that some of your correspondents may be able to
+send satisfactory answers.
+
+1. By whom was the post of Master of the Buckhounds first instituted,
+and who was the first Master?
+
+2. Is there any list of persons holding this office; and if so, where
+may it be seen?
+
+3. Is there any instance of an unmarried lady having held it: for in the
+case before us we see that a lady was able to convey it by inheritance
+to her husband?
+
+4. By whom was it sold? Was it by the last hereditary possessor; and if
+so, what was his name? Or was it by the king, on the death of one of the
+possessors, for the purpose of enriching himself?
+
+5. Is it known whether there is any other instance of its having been
+sold: and when did it come to be, as now, a ministerial office?

+300. "_No Cross no Crown._"--Where did Penn get the title of his
+well-known work? St. Paulinus, Bishop of Nola, in allusion to the custom
+of crowning crosses, has these lines:--
+
+      "Cerne coronatam Domini super _atria Christi_,
+      Stare crucem, duro spondentem celsa labori
+      Praemia: _tolle crucem, qui vis auferre coronam_."
+
+      "See how the cross of Christ a crown entwines:
+      High o'er God's temple it refulgent shines;
+      Pledging bright guerdon for each passing pain:
+      Take up the cross, if thou the crown would'st gain."
+
+Vide Dr. Rock's _Hierurgia_. Quarles says, in his _Esther_:

+Schmitz (in Smith's _Antiq._, article SHIPS) speaks of "the pegs,
+[Greek: skalmoi], _between which the oars move[d]_, and to which they
+were fastened by a thong, [Greek: tropoter]." What is the authority for
+two pegs, _between which_, &c? A single peg and thong, as still in
+frequent use, would be intelligible!
+
+Dr. Smith observes (ap. id. p. 1139.) that the decree of Scamandrius,
+which ordained that no free Athenian should be tortured, "does not
+appear to have interdicted torture as a means of execution, _since_ we
+find Demosthenes (_de Cor._ 271.) reminding the judges that they had put
+Antiphon to death by the rack." Does it not escape him that Antiphon was

+                Aged 27.
+        Much lamented by her husband,
+      Lieutenant-Colonel JOHN MATTOCKS.
+        Was the grand-daughter of the
+          Great JOHN HAMDEN, Esq.,
+          Of St. James's, Westminster."
+
+In the following number (dated 11th September, 1851), the editor offers
+an apology for having omitted the date of the decease of Mrs. Mattocks,
+viz. 1778; and then remarks that--
+
+  "As she was twenty-seven years old at her death, she must have
+  been born in 1751; it was therefore impossible that she should
+  have been the grand-daughter of the great John Hampden, that died
+  in 1643, one hundred and eight years before her birth."

+America_, London, 1835, vol. ii. p. 290., is a curious account of this
+insect, which visits Pennsylvania every seventeenth year, and appears
+about May 24. It is under an inch in length when it first appears early
+in the morning, and gains its strength after the sun has risen. These
+insects live ten or fifteen days, and never seem to eat any food. They
+come in swarms, and birds, pigs, and poultry fatten on them. The female
+lays her eggs in the outermost twigs of the forest; these die and drop
+on the ground. The eggs give birth to a number of small grubs, which are
+thus enabled to attain the mould without injury, and in it they
+disappear; they are forgotten till seventeen years pass, and then the
+memory of them returns, and they rise from the earth, piercing their way
+through the matted sod, the hard trampled clay, &c. They appeared in
+1749, &c., to 1834, and are expected in 1851. Has this expectation been
+fulfilled?

+307. _The British Sidanen._--Under this title (the proper spelling in

+120., comprising a portion of the genealogy of the Welsh princess, in
+which three of her sons are mentioned, viz., Owen, Llewellyn, and David.
+But there was a _fourth_ son, Roderic, who settled in England, and
+appears to have been residing there for some time, when the fatal
+rupture occurred between the two countries. It would appear that
+descendants of his have lived, and are living in our own times; among
+them, the late Dr. John Mawer, of Middleton Tyas, whose remarkable
+epitaph was given in a former number of "NOTES AND QUERIES." My first
+inquiry is, Is there known to exist any genealogy assuming to extend
+between the Rev. and learned gentleman just named and Prince Roderic? I
+am told there was one published in the _British Peerage for 1706_, at
+which time John Mawer would be three years of age; is such the fact? I
+wish also to ask, whether Prince _Owen_ was in existence at the time of
+the deaths of Llewellyn and David--whether in Wales or England? and
+whether he was the ancestor of Owen Tudor, the proud father of Henry
+VII.; and, if not, who _was_ Owen Tudor's ancestor?

+  nose, occupied the post of a spy upon their aberrations, which

+  of Durham, granted by Egfrid, King of Northumbria, in 685; when he
+  gave to St. Cuthbert all the land between the Wear and the Tyne,
+  called "the patrimony of St. Cuthbert," to hold in as full and
+  ample a manner as the king himself holds the same. This donative,
+  with its ancient customs and privileges, was confirmed by the
+  Danes, and afterwards by William the Conqueror; in addition to

+  prerogative within his see, as the king exercised without the
+  bounds of it, with regard to forfeitures, &c. Thus it was a kind
+  of royalty subordinate to the crown, and, by way of eminence, was
+  called _The Bishoprick_. For an account of the ancient customs

+
+CONVOCATION OF YORK.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 368.)
+
+This body (of which I am a member) ought to meet on the same occasions
+with that of Canterbury; but owing to the neglect or the wilfulness of
+its officials, many omissions and mistakes occur. I have heard a
+commission to _further_ adjourn the Convocation, from a day to which it
+previously stood adjourned, read the day _after_ that on which it ought
+to have assembled, but which day had arrived and passed without any one
+recollecting the fact! Our Convocation appears at no time to have acted
+a very prominent part, though its constitution is far better fitted for
+a working synod than that of the southern province. In the latter the
+_parochial_ clergy are so inadequately represented as to be much
+outnumbered by the _dignitaries_ appointed by the crown and the bishops;
+but in York there are _two_ proctors chosen by the clergy of _each_
+archdeaconry and peculiar jurisdiction, and _two_ by each cathedral
+chapter; thus affording a complete counterpoise to the deans and
+archdeacons who are members _ex officio_. Another peculiarity in the
+Convocation of York is, that it assembles in _one_ house, the bishops
+commonly appearing by their proxies (priests), and the archbishop
+presiding by his commissioner, who is always the dean, or one of the
+residentiary canons of York.
+
+In 1462 (_temp._ Archbishop Booth) the Convocation of York decreed that
+such constitutions of the province of Canterbury as were not prejudicial
+to those of York should be received, incorporated, and deemed as their
+own (Wilkins's _Concilia_, vol. iii. p. 580.). Under Archbishop
+Grenefeld it was decreed that since the Archbishop of York hath no
+superior in spirituals except the Pope, no appeals should be suffered to
+the Archbishop of Canterbury (p. 663.). At an earlier period the
+northern metropolitan laid claim to all England north of the Humber,
+with the whole realm of Scotland (Wilkins, vol. i. pp. 325, 479, &c.).
+In a provincial council at London, A.D. 1175, his jurisdiction was
+denied over the sees of Lincoln, _Chester_, Worcester, and Hereford,
+upon which he appealed to the Pope. With the exception of Chester,
+however, none of these sees were finally retained in the province.
+
+The next year we are told that, in a (national) council at Westminster,
+the Pope's legate presiding, the Archbishop of York, "disdaining to sit
+at the left hand of the legate, forced himself into the lap of the
+Archbishop of Canterbury, but was immediately _knocked down_ by the
+other bishops and clergy, severely beaten, and thrust out of the
+council!" (Hoveden ap. Wilkins, vol. i. p. 485.) How far the Northern
+Convocation supported their burly prelate in these claims I do not know;
+but I _note_ that in those days the disorderly conduct of the clergy was
+_not_ made a pretext for the indefinite suspension of synodical
+functions; and I _query_ whether the clergy might not be trusted to
+behave quite as well in the nineteenth century.
+
+But to return to the Convocation of York. There is a curious letter,
+A.D. 1661, from Accepted Frewen, Archbishop of York, to the Convocation,
+desiring them to send up to London some of their members duly
+commissioned on their part to sit with the Lower House of Canterbury
+for the review of the Liturgy. In this letter the archbishop says that
+himself and the other bishops of the province were sitting _with the
+bishops of the southern province in their House_. A similar expedient
+for constituting a _quasi_-national synod seems to have been resorted to
+upon some earlier occasions; but the Convocation of York still passed in
+due form by their own separate decree what was so agreed upon. The
+Articles were thus subscribed by our Convocation in 1571, and the Canons
+in 1604 and 1640.
+
+Since then the Convocation of York has been regularly summoned, met,
+adjourned, and been prorogued, without even the dutiful address to the
+crown, which is regularly discussed and adopted in Canterbury. In the
+year 1847, a spasmodic attempt at life was manifested in this venerable
+and ill-used institution. Archbishop Harcourt had consented that an
+address to the crown should be adopted, and himself procured a draft to
+be approved by the bishops. His grace however died before the day of
+meeting. Some difficulty was experienced by the officials, both in York
+and London, as to the course to be pursued; but a precedent having been
+pointed out in the reign of James I., when Archbishop Hutton died after
+summoning the Convocation and before its assembly, a writ was issued
+from the crown to the dean and chapter at York to elect a _praeses_ for
+the Convocation during the vacancy of the archbishoprick. They appointed
+the canon who happened to be in residence; an unusually large attendance
+was given; the Convocation was opened, the names called over, and then
+the officials had reached the limit of their experience; according to
+_their_ precedents we ought all to have been sent away. The address
+however was called on by the _praeses_, being apparently quite unaware
+that a _prolocutor_ should be chosen by the clergy before they proceeded
+to business. Such an officer probably seemed to the dignitary already in
+the chair like a _second King of Brentford_ "smelling at one rose," and
+the demand was refused. Further difficulties ensued, of course, the
+moment the debate was opened; and finally, the _praeses_, determined not
+to be tempted out of his depth, rose all at once, and read the fatal
+_formula_ which restored our glorious Chapter House to its silent
+converse with the ghosts. The Convocation has never since been heard of.

+
+THE OLD COUNTESS OF DESMOND.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 305.)
+
+If your correspondent A. B. R. will refer to Walpole's _Fugitive Pieces_
+he will find a minute inquiry into the person and age of this long-lived
+lady. This is doubtless the dissertation alluded to by C. (Vol. ii., p.
+219.) Pennant has _two_ notices of the countess in his Scotch tours. In
+that of 1769 (which somewhat strangely follows the one of 1772), he
+gives at p. 87. the engraving spoken of (Vol. iv., p. 306.), apparently
+taken from the original at Dupplin Castle. It differs a little from R.'s
+description of another portrait, as the cloak is strapped over the
+chest, not held by a button. In 1772 Pennant again describes this
+portrait in his _Tour in Scotland_, vol. ii. p. 88., and speaks of four
+others, viz., first, at Devonshire House; second, at the Hon. John
+Yorke's seat, near Cheltenham; third, at Mr. Scott's, printer; and the
+fourth, in the Standard Closet, Windsor Castle. At the back of the last
+is written with a pen "Rembrandt." "A mistake (says P.) as Rembrandt was
+not fourteen years of age (he was indeed only eight) in 1614, at which
+time it is certain the countess was not living."
+
+In my copy of the _Fugitive Pieces_ (the Strawberry Hill edition,
+presented by Walpole to Cole), I find the following manuscript note by
+Cole; _an amplification of the_ passage from Walpole's letters quoted at
+p. 306.:--
+
+  "Being at Strawberry Hill in April, 1773, I saw there a copy of
+  the picture commonly attributed to the old Countess of Desmond;
+  but Mr. Walpole told me that there is sufficient proof that it is
+  a painter's mother, I think Rembrandt's. However, by a letter from
+  Mr. Lort, April 15, 1774, he assures me that on Mr. Pennant's
+  calling at Strawberry Hill to see this picture, he was much
+  chagrined at having a print of it engraved for his book, till Mr.
+  Lort revived him by carrying him to a garret in Devonshire House,
+  where was a picture of this same countess with her name on it,
+  exactly corresponding to his engraved print. I remember a
+  tolerable good old picture of her at Mr. Dicey's, prebendary of
+  Bristol, at Walton in Bucks."
+
+Walpole could not dismiss Pennant without a disparaging remark. He is "a
+superficial man, and knows little of history or antiquity; but he has a
+violent rage for being an author." Those who live in glass houses should
+not throw stones: Pennant would not have displayed the ignorance which
+Walpole exhibits in the instance before us. In an inscription, which the
+latter gives, on a Countess of Desmond buried at Sligo, occurs the
+following contraction: "Desmoniae _Noie_ Elizabetha." Walpole says
+(_Fugitive Pieces_, p. 204.), "This word I can make no sense of, but
+_sic originale_; I take it to be redundancy of the carver. It seems to
+be a repetition of the last three syllables of Desmoniae!"
+
+The sarcastic observations which Walpole passes on the Society of
+Antiquaries, its members, and its publications, are so frequent and so
+bitter, that they must have been founded on some offence not to be
+pardoned. Were the remarks on the "Historic Doubts" by the president,
+Dean Milles, and by the Rev. Robert Masters (printed in the first two
+volumes of the _Archaeologia_), regarded as satisfactorily confuting
+Walpole's arguments; or did he aim, but unsuccessfully, at the
+president's chair?

+
+COINS OF VABALATHUS.
+
+(Vol. iv., p. 255.)
+
+There have been many attempts to explain the puzzling VCRIMDR, on the
+supposition that a Latin sentence was concealed under these letters.
+Pinkerton suggested "Voluntate Caesaris Romani Imperatoris Maximi Domini,
+Rex." I hope to offer a better solution, which, although not new, has
+been passed over, I believe, by all subsequent writers. The Rev. George
+North, in the _Museum Meadianum_, p. 97., gives the following note:
+"Apud Arabes accepi verbum Karama significare Honoravit, a quo Ucrima,
+et Ucrim; quo sensu respondet hoc Arabicum [Greek: To Sebasto] apud
+Graecos." On applying to a well-known scholar and linguist here, I found
+that from the verb _Karama_ there was derived the adjective _Kar[=i]mat_
+(nobilis), from which again the superlative _Akram_ comes. There can, I
+think, be little doubt that the word VCRIMDR is originally derived from
+this verb _Karama_, and that it is most probably equivalent to
+_Nobilissimus_, a title so common shortly afterwards, as applied to the
+heirs to the empire.[3]
+
+  [Footnote 3: "_Nobilissimus_, in the Byzantine historians, is
+  synonymous with Caesar."--_Niebuhr._]
+
+The word [Greek: SROIAS] or [Greek: SRIAS], which appears on the
+Alexandrian coins of this prince, is of more difficult explanation. Some
+think it a praenomen, some a Syriac or other Eastern title, perhaps
+corresponding to VCRIMDR. Pellerin thought so. I hope some Oriental
+scholar will direct his attention to this point. These coins are very
+often ill struck, so that the part of the legend below the head, where
+the word in question is found, is indistinct, for which reason I suppose
+MR. TAYLOR has followed the erroneous reading of Banduri, [Greek:
+HERMIAS] (properly [Greek: HERMIAS], with lunate epsilon) for [Greek:
+SROIAS], which has been corrected by Eckhel. Of three specimens which I
+possess, one only reads clearly [Greek: SROIAS], from the
+above-mentioned cause, but it is unquestionably the correct reading on
+all. The best arrangement of the legend, from analogy with those forms
+used by the Romans, is as follows:
+
+      [Greek: AUTokrator . SROIAS . OUABALLATHOS . ATHENOdorou . Huios.]
+
+The existence of coins, of which I possess a specimen also, reading
+
+      [Greek: A . SRIAS . OUABALLATHOS . ATHEN . U.]
+
+shows that we must not read [Greek: ATHENOU] as one word, but must
+divide it as above. I think MR. TAYLOR will find his specimen to read as
+the last-mentioned coin, the [Greek: ER] (properly [Greek: ER]) being
+[Greek: SR], and the [Greek: AU] in like manner [Greek: AS]. My coin
+gives the whole legend distinctly, and I can vouch for the exactitude of
+the above legend.
+
+I believe there appeared some years ago, in the _Revue de Numismatique_,
+an article on the coins of the Zenobian family, but I do not remember
+when it was published, nor the conclusions to which the writer came.
+That is, however, the most recent investigation of the subject, and to
+it I must refer MR. TAYLOR, as I have not access to that periodical
+here.
+
+Sir Gardner Wilkinson has published in the _Numismatic Chronicle_, vol.
+vii. or viii., an inscription containing the names of Zenobia and
+Vabalathus. After the name of Vabalathus, who has the title of
+Autocrator, is the word [Greek: ATHENODOROU], which justifies the
+reading [Greek: Athenodorou Huios] on the coins. Vabalathus is thus
+probably the son of Zenobia by a former husband, Athenodorus, while
+bearing himself the same name, as Vabalathus (better Vaballathus, as on
+the Alexandrian coins) is said to be equivalent to Athenodorus, Gift of
+Pallas.

+
+MARRIAGE OF ECCLESIASTICS.
+
+(Vol. iv., pp. 57, 125, 193, 196, 298.)
+
+I entirely agree with you that your pages are not a fit battle-ground
+for theological controversy. Still, since the question of the
+translation of Heb. xiii. 4. has been mooted, I beg with much deference
+to suggest that it will not be quite right to let it fall to the ground
+unsettled, especially since CEPHAS has thought fit to charge those of
+our Reformers who translated the Scriptures with mistranslating
+advisedly, and with propagating new doctrines.
+
+CEPHAS'S version of the passage is right, and our English version is
+wrong; but the fault lies in the ignorance of our translators, an
+ignorance which they shared with all the scholars of their day, and many
+not bad scholars of our own, of the effect produced on the force of the
+article by the relation in which it stands to the other words in the
+clause, in point of order. [Greek: ho timios gamos] is "the honourable
+marriage;" [Greek: ho timios gamos esti] is "the honourable marriage
+is;" [Greek: ho gamos timios] is untranslateable, unless you supply
+[Greek: esti], and then it means "the marriage" (or, marriage in
+general, in the abstract) "is honourable." But [Greek: esto] might be
+supplied, as it is in Heb. xiii. 4., when it will mean, "let marriage be
+honourable:" and [Greek: timios ho gamos] has just the same meaning,
+with perhaps this difference, that the emphasis falls more distinctly on
+[Greek: timios]. The circumstance that the mere assertion that marriage
+is honourable in all (men or things), true as it is in itself, ill
+accords with the tenor of the passage of which it forms a part, which is
+hortatory, not assertive, is a good reason why CEPHAS'S version should
+be preferred. But when we find afterwards the words [Greek: kai he koite
+amiantos], it is impossible to deny this hortatory force to the
+sentence; for those words cannot mean "the undefiled bed:" and to
+translate them "the (or their) bed is undefiled"--which is the only
+version which they will here bear, but one--would give but a feeble
+sense. That sole remaining sense is, "the bed (let it) be undefiled;"
+subaudite [Greek: esto] in the verse is, "Let marriage be honourable in
+all" (men or things), "and the bed be undefiled; but (or for)
+whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." Had our translators known
+that [Greek: he koite amiantos] could not mean "the bed undefiled," they
+would at once have been driven to see that the verse is a commandment:
+and the commandment that marriage should be held honourable in all men
+(or in all respects), would have served the purpose of their doctrines
+quite as well as the affirmative form which they have given to their
+present version. I say, it would have served their purpose; but I say
+more: they heeded not what did or would serve their purpose. They looked
+only for the truth and disregarded all else in their pursuit of it. With
+regard to the controversy about [Greek: en pasi], it is immaterial which
+version be adopted. MR. WALTER is right in the rule which he enunciates,
+if he means that in those cases of adjectives in which the masculine and
+neuter forms are the same, "man" or "men," not "thing" or "things," must
+be understood: but it is not always observed, even in classical writers,
+either in Latin or in Greek. There is no reason why it should be broken
+here; and I do not believe it is broken. It must have been only by a
+slip of CEPHAS'S pen that he called [Greek: pasi] a feminine adjective.
+It undoubtedly refers to both sexes. I wish E. A. D. had given the Greek
+of the passages from Chrysostom and Augustine, of which he has
+communicated the Oxford translation, which is as likely to err, perhaps,
+as any other. Jerome's Latin, like the Vulgate, though the words are not
+precisely the same, gives a literal version of the Greek, without
+supplying any verb at all, either _est_ or _sit_, and, since the Latin
+has not that expressive power in cases like this which the article gives
+to the Greek, leaves the passage obscure and undecided.

+It is quite obvious what lines your correspondent alludes to, though the
+above quotation which he gives as the commencement of them is not quite
+correct, nor were they written with the object he supposes.
+
+I send a correct copy of them below, taken from Mr. Payne Collier's very
+interesting _Life of Shakspeare_, to whom they have always been
+attributed; and, it is said, with every show of reason. It is supposed
+they were written by him in the shape of a complimentary allusion to
+King James I., in grateful acknowledgment of the patronage bestowed by
+that monarch upon the stage. The subject is fully discussed at pp. 202,
+203. of Mr. Knight's volume, whence, indeed, the above information is
+derived; and he publishes the lines, as follows, stating then to be
+copied from a coeval manuscript in his possession:--
+
+      "SHAKSPEARE ON THE KING.
+
+      "Crowns have their compass--length of days their date--
+      Triumphs their tomb--felicity, her fate--
+      Of nought but earth can earth make us partaker,
+      But knowledge makes a king most like his Maker."
+
+Some one, to make the allusion more complete, that is, to over-do it,
+changed "_a_ king" into "_the_ king" in a subsequent publication of the
+lines. But this, as Mr. Payne Collier very justly feels, completely
+spoils the whole complexion of the epigram, and perverts a fine allusion
+into a raw personality.

+1. The certificate of Dr. Farmer's character for learning and ability is

+

+met by many of directly opposite tendency, and of at least equal weight.
+
+3. In the only point really in question, BOLTON CORNEY "cannot deny that
+Farmer related the anecdote of the _wool-man_" (that being the reputed
+trade of Shakspeare's father); but to what end was it related, if not
+to suggest an application of which Steevens was only the interpreter?
+
+But BOLTON CORNEY thinks the character of the witness suspicious; he
+forgets that only just before he had stated that the anecdote and its
+application had been repeated in three editions, extending over thirteen
+years, all within the lifetime of Dr. Farmer!

+NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.
+
+Although there are few books which have proved of greater utility to
+inquirers into the more recent history of England than Beatson's
+_Political Index_, yet it is also true that there are few which have
+more frequently or more justly caused the reader to feel the want of a
+new and improved edition. A very short examination, however, of Mr.
+Haydn's recently published Beatson's _Political Index Modernised, The
+Book of Dignities, containing Rolls of the Official Personages of the
+British Empire, Civil, Ecclesiastical, Judicial, Military, Naval, and
+Municipal, &c._, will satisfy the reader that such want has at length
+been supplied in a manner the most ample and the most satisfactory. For
+though we have referred to Beatson's well-known work for the purpose of
+furnishing a better idea of the _Book of Dignities_, we are bound to
+acknowledge that Mr. Haydn is justified in stating, that in the work in
+question he owes little more than the plan to Beatson. Mr. Haydn's
+volume not only contains many lists (among them the "Administrations of
+England, and the Judges of the Ecclesiastical Courts") not to be found
+in the _Political Index_, but the author has had the advantage of being
+permitted to search the various official records with the view of
+enabling him to give complete and accurate information. The result, of
+course, is obvious; namely, that just in the same proportion that our
+author surpasses Beatson in the extent and accuracy of his various
+lists, does the _Book of Dignities_ exceed its predecessor in usefulness
+to the official man, the historian, and the scholar.
+
+Mr. Hunt's experience as a public lecturer at the various literary and
+scientific institutions of the country, having convinced him that for
+the majority of the members of those institutions most of the existing
+works on natural philosophy are of too abstruse and technical a
+character--are, in short, sealed books,--he has been led to publish a
+small volume which we have no doubt will soon become extremely popular.
+It is entitled _Elementary Physics, an Introduction to the Study of
+Natural Philosophy_; and, as its object is to teach physical science so
+far as to render all the great deductions from observation and
+experiment satisfactorily clear, without encountering the difficulty of
+mathematics,--and no one is better able to do this, and throw a charm
+over such a subject, than the author of the _Poetry of Science_,--the
+work, which is illustrated with upwards of two hundred woodcuts, will be
+found eminently useful; not only to those who have neither time nor
+opportunity to carry their studies beyond its pages, but especially as a
+"first book" to those in whom it may awaken the desire for a more
+perfect knowledge of the beautiful and important truths of which it
+treats.
+
+The nature of the _Hand Atlas of Physical Geography, consisting of a
+Series of Maps and Illustrations, showing the Geographical Distribution

+and the Maps of the Erdkunde, drawn by and under the immediate
+Superintendence of Drs. Ritter and Kiepert, Oetzel, Grimm, &c., by the
+Editor of the University Atlas of the Middle Ages_, is sufficiently
+described by its ample title-page; which shows, moreover, that the work
+is not a mere copy or reduction of the great atlas of Berghaus, on which
+it is founded. As a companion to the works of Humboldt, Mrs. Somerville,
+and other writers on physical geography, it will be found most useful;
+while its convenient size, and moderate price, place it within the reach
+of almost all classes of readers.

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no
+one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is
+subject to the trademark license, especially commercial
+redistribution.

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

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked

+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without

+Gutenberg-tm License.

+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or

+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

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

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
