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 Hēry 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—</p> + + <p class="blockquot"> "Here endeth the exposycyon of the 7 psalmes.

C. displayed as usual—and beneath, "Wynkyn de Worde."</p> + +<p>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:</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> W<span class="topnum">th</span>in y<span class="topnum">e</span> church where virtue is;</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—</p> + +<div class="poem"> + + <p>"Qui non rectè vivit in unitate ecclesiæ</p> + <p> Catholicæ, salvus esse non potest."</p> + +</div> + +<p class="noindent">And lower on the same page—</p> + +<div class="poem"> + + <p>"Thomas Morus dn̄s cancellarius Angliæ</p> + <p>Joh. Fisher Epûs 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 à 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. +Duthillœul, 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> + + <p class="right"> S. H.</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> + + <p class="right">H.

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—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.

(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—</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., &c.)</p> + +<p>In the same paper Mr. Logan observes—</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.

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—</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.

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, &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>præses</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>præses</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>præses</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> + + <p class="right"> C<span class="smcap lowercase">AN</span> E<span class="smcap lowercase">BOR.</span></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.:—</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: "Desmoniæ <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 Desmoniæ!"</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>Archæologia</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> + + <p class="right"> J.

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>Karīmat</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 Cæsar."—<i>Niebuhr.</i></p> + +<p>The word <span title="[Greek: SRÔIAS]">ϹΡΩΙΑϹ</span> or +<span title="[Greek: SRIAS]">ϹΡΙΑϹ</span>, which appears on the +Alexandrian coins of this prince, is of more difficult explanation.

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 +C<span class="smcap lowercase">EPHAS</span> has thought fit to charge those of +our Reformers who translated the Scriptures with mistranslating +advisedly, and with propagating new doctrines.</p> + +<p>C<span class="smcap lowercase">EPHAS'S</span> 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. +<span title="[Greek: ho timios gamos]">ὁ τίμιος γάμος</span> is "the honourable +marriage;" +<span title="[Greek: ho timios gamos esti]">ὁ τίμιος γάμος ἐστί</span> is "the honourable marriage +is;" +<span title="[Greek: ho gamos timios]">ὁ γάμος τίμιος</span> is untranslateable, unless you supply +<span title="[Greek: esti]">ἐστί</span>, and then it means "the marriage" (or, marriage in +general, in the abstract) "is honourable." But +<span title="[Greek: estô]">ἔστω</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]">τίμιος ὁ γάμος</span> has just the same meaning, +with perhaps this difference, that the emphasis falls more distinctly on +<span title="[Greek: timios]">τίμιος</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 hê koitê amiantos]">καὶ ἡ κοίτη ἀμίαντος</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"—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 +<span title="[Greek: estô]">ἔστω</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: hê koitê amiantos]">ἡ κοίτη ἀμίαντος</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]">ἐν πᾶσι</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]">πᾶσι</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> + + <p class="right"> T<span class="smcap lowercase">HEOPHYLACT.</span></p> + + + +<h3> +<span class="bla">Replies to Minor Queries.</span> +</h3> + +<h4> +<span><i>"Crowns have their Compass," &c.</i> </span> +<span>(Vol. iv., p. 294.).</span> +</h4> + +<p>—The lines +alluded to by your correspondent M<span class="smcap lowercase">R.</span> A<span class="smcap lowercase">BSALON</span> form a inscription on a +portrait of King James I. in the Cracherode Collection.

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:—</p> + +<div class="poem"> + +<div class="stanza"> + + <p>"SHAKSPEARE ON THE KING.</p> + +</div> + +<div class="stanza"> + + <p> "Crowns have their compass—length of days their date—</p> + <p>Triumphs their tomb—felicity, her fate—</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 class="right"> J. J.

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, &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—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 <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,—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>,—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, &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> + +<p>C<span class="smcap lowercase">ATALOGUES</span> R<span class="smcap lowercase">ECEIVED</span>.—Nattali and Bond's (23.

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.

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. + + +</pre> + +</body> + </html> + diff --git a/39233-h/images/cover.jpg b/39233-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..437ed66 --- /dev/null +++ b/39233-h/images/cover.jpg |
