So true it is that men change, +institutions vary, and that human nature is always the same. The church +reproduces its Laud, the railway exchange its Law, the bench has its +Mansfield, the Horse Guards its greater Marlborough, and Newgate its +Mrs. Brownrigg. We have giants as great as King Charles's porter, and a +Tom Thumb who would have frightened the very <i>ghosts</i> of all departed +Jeffery Hudsons,—a class not generally accused of fear, except at +daybreak,—by his unequalled <i>diminutiveness</i>. Take the great questions +which agitate the church and the senate-house, which agitated them in +the sixteenth, during much of the two following centuries, and you will +find the same theological, political, commercial, and sanitary questions +debated with equal honesty, equal truth, and similar prospects of +satisfactory solution. I confess, however, that for one historical +coincidence I was unprepared; and that "Barclay and Perkins," in the +case of assault upon a noted public character, should have an historical +antecedent in the seventeenth century, has caused me some surprise. It +is not necessary for me to recall to your attention how Barclay and +Perkins were noised about on the occasion of the attack on General +Haynau. The name of the firm was as familiar to our lips as their +porter:</p> + +<div class="poem"> + <p> "Never came reformation in a flood</p> + <p> With such a <i>heady</i> currance."</p> +</div> + +<p>There had been no similar <i>émeute</i>, as I was told by a civic wit, since +the days of "Vat Tyler." Now let me remind you of the Barclay and +Perkins and the other Turnham Green men's plot, who conspired to assault +and assassinate King William III. Mind, the coincidence is only in name. +The historic parallel is rather of kind than event, but it is not the +less remarkable when we consider the excitement twice connected with +these names. The character of James II. may be described as the +<i>villainy of weakness</i>. It possessed nothing of elevation, breadth, or +strength. It was this weak obliquity which made him deceive his people, +and led them to subvert the laws, supplant the church, and to become a +tyrant in the name of religious liberty. His means to recover the throne +were as mean as the manner of its desertion was despicable. He tried +cajolery, it failed; the bravery of his Irish soldiers, it was +unavailing. He next relied on the corruption of Russell, the avarice of +Marlborough; but as these men were to be bought as well as sold, he put +his trust finally in any villain who was willing to be hired for +assassination. In 1692 M. de Grandval, a captain of dragoons, was shot +in the allied camp,<a id="Page_498"></a> + <span class="pagenum">[498]</span> who confessed that King James at St. Germain, +in the presence of the queen, had engaged him to shoot King William. +Four years later James had contrived another plot. At the head of this +were Sir George Barclay and Sir William Perkins, and under their +guidance twenty men were engaged to assist in the assassination of King +William. The plan was as follows. It was the custom of the king to hunt +near the house of Mr. Latten, in the neighbourhood of Brentford, and +they designed to surprise the king on his return at a hollow part of the +road between Brentford and Turnham Green, one division of them being +placed behind some bushes and brushwood at the western end of the Green. +Some of your correspondents may perhaps fix the spot; but as the Green +extended then far beyond what it now does, I suspect it was about the +road leading to Gunnesbury; the road itself I recollect as a boy seeing +much elevated and improved. The design failed, two of the gang betrayed +the rest,—Barclay escaped, but Perkins and some others were hung. +Jeremy Collier attended them on the scaffold, and publicly gave them +absolution in the name of Christ, and by imposition of hands, for all +their sins. I need not describe to you the excitement caused by this +plot of Barclay and Perkins: the event connected with their names, as at +our later period—</p> + +<div class="poem"> + + <p class="i3"> "Was a theme of all conversation;</p> + <p> Had it been a pillar of church and state,</p> + <p>Or a prop to support the whole dead weight,</p> + <p> It could not have furnished more debate</p> + <p class="i3">For the heads and tails of the nation."</p> + +</div> + +<p>James closed the drama becomingly; he published a defence of his conduct +in a paper, the style of which has been well described as the "euphemism +of assassination." The road between Turnham Green and Kew was long after +associated with the names of "Barclay and Perkins."</p> + +<p class="right"> S.H.</p> + + + + +<h3> +<span>REMAINS OF KING JAMES II.</span> +</h3> + +<p>The enclosed copy of an authentic document, obtained through the +kindness of Mr. Pickford, Her Majesty's consul in Paris, is communicated +to the publisher of "N<span class="smcap lowercase">OTES AND</span> Q<span class="smcap lowercase">UERIES</span>", in the belief that it may prove +acceptable to those who take an interest in the questions raised by the +articles in Nos. 46. 48. and 56. of that valuable publication.</p> + +<p>This document is an "Extract from the Register of the Deliberation of +the Municipal Council of St. Germain-en-Laye," dated July 12, 1824, +containing the official report, or <i>procès-verbal</i>, of the discovery +made that day of three boxes, in which were deposited a portion of the +remains of King James II. and of the Princess Louise-Marie, his +daughter.</p> + +<p>The "annexes" referred to, of the respective dates of September 16 and +17, <span class="smcap lowercase">A.D</span>. 1701, leave no doubt as to the disposal of the royal corpse at +that time. With respect to its fate, after its removal from the English +Benedictine convent in Paris in 1793, as mentioned in the article No. +46., it is most probable that it shared the fate of other royal relics +exhumed at the same disastrous period from the vaults of St. Denys, +which were scattered to the winds, or cast into a common pit.</p> + +<p>It may be presumed that the epitaph given in the same document, and +mentioned as being <i>such as it had existed</i> in the church of St. +Germain-en-Laye, had disappeared before the date of the "Extract from +the Register."

Its +significance, if any, therefore, is to be sought in Welsh. Now, your +correspondent is certainly quite wrong as to the meaning of <i>Llan</i> in +Welsh. It always means, here at any rate, <i>church</i>, not <i>plain</i>. +Possibly your correspondent was thinking of <i>Llano</i>. The word is written +in Welsh <i>Llyndon</i>, or <i>Llyndain</i>, which also speaks against its being +compounded with <i>Llan</i>. The word certainly <i>might</i> mean anything: but I +know of no satisfactory explanation having been given for it as yet. The +only words for <i>town</i> in Welsh are, I believe, <i>tre</i> "city," or <i>caer</i> +"castle,"—as parts of compound words, I mean.</p> + + <p class="right"> S<span class="smcap lowercase">C.</span></p> + + <p class="left">Carmarthen.</p> + +<p>I cannot think that M. C. E.'s etymology of <i>London</i> is a correct one; +nor did I know that the British <i>Llan</i> means a "level place generally." +I take it that originally <i>Llan</i> meant no more than "an inclosure," as +we see in <i>winllan</i>, "a vineyard," "an inclosure for vines;" <i>perllan</i>, +"an orchard" (literally a pear-yard). As churchyards were probably for +some time almost the only inclosures in their districts, this will +explain why the names of churches in Wales so commonly begin with +<i>Llan</i>. Llanvair, Llanilltid, Llandilo, &c. were the <i>inclosures</i>, or +yards, in which churches dedicated to St. Mary, St. Iltyd, St. Teilo, +&c. were built, though in the course of time these names became applied +to the churches themselves. The word <i>don</i> is nothing more than <i>din</i>, +or <i>dinas</i>, "a fortress," as we see in Lugdunum, Virodunum, Londinium, +Dumbarton, Dunmore, &c.</p> + +<p>Old chroniclers say that the city of London was nearly, if not entirely, +surrounded by water, which on the north, north-east, and south sides +spread out into considerable lakes.

To the south the Thames extended far beyond its +present boundary, forming an extensive lake. <i>Fen</i>church Street, +<i>Turnmill</i> Street, <i>Fleet</i> Street, show that there were streams and fens +to the east and west.</p> + +<p>Bearing in mind that British names were generally descriptive of the +locality, may not the situation of old London furnish a clue to its +etymology?

C. C., let me refer him to pp. xi. and xxv. of the +preface and list of MSS. in vol. i. of the <i>Ancient Laws, &c. of +England</i>, edited by Mr. Thorpe, under the direction of the late Record +Commission. He will there find that the real MS. site of that document +is stated to be in the library of Corpus Christi, Cambridge, and to be +of the date of the tenth century. It is not stated upon what ground so +early a date is assigned to it; but as so competent a judge as the +editor seems to give that date without any expression of doubt, we may +presume that there is satisfactory proof of the fact. I do not observe +the document mentioned in Wanley's catalogue, and Nasmith's more recent +one is not at hand to refer to. The matter contained in it does not (at +least in my judgment) <i>necessarily</i> indicate so early a date, inasmuch +as parallel, and even identical, rights and customs, connected with the +<i>status</i> of persons and tenure of land, were in active existence at a +much later period of our history. It would certainly be more +satisfactory to know the precise grounds, whether extrinsic or +intrinsic, on which the date has been fixed.</p> + +<p>With regard to the old Latin version, I will not undertake to vindicate +it except against <i>one</i> of the criticisms of H. C. C. He objects that +<i>læden</i> is translated <i>minare</i>. The word "minare" is used in the +translation twice, once for <i>driving</i>, and once for <i>leading</i>; and I +question whether the translator could have found a more appropriate word +to serve this double purpose than the authentic verb <i>menare</i> or +<i>minare</i>, from which the French <i>mener</i> has been derived.</p> + +<p>I cannot so easily justify him for translating "bôc-riht" by "rectitudo +testamenti;" yet as the power of testamentary disposition was one of the +most signal attributes of bôc-riht, I cannot say that he has much +misrepresented the import of the original word.</p> + +<p>The document, which is evidently a private compilation, seems to be a +custumal, or coustumier, of a district, or some considerable portion of +the country. The German lawyers would call the collection a landrecht in +one sense of that term, or, as the translator has called it, a +"landirectum." The heading is by no means an appropriate one. Whether +the writer intended to compile a code of the customs and obligations of +land tenure, free and unfree, coextensive with the Saxon name, or merely +to represent those of a certain district with which he happened to be +acquainted, is a matter open to question.</p> + +<p>H. C. C. is perhaps not aware that the document has been examined, +corrected, translated into German, and made the subject of a very +masterly dissertation, by Dr. Heinrich Leo, of Halle. It is frequently +referred to by Lappenberg in his <i>Anglo-Saxon History</i>, and became known +(at least in the translation) to Sir H. Ellis in time to make copious +extracts from it in the second volume of his <i>Introduction to Domesday</i>.</p> + + + <p class="right">E.

After a patient search I found Fosbroke's +<i>Foreign Topography</i> (4to. edition, 1828, pp. 3, 4, 5.) to contain the +best account of those interesting<a id="Page_509"></a> + <span class="pagenum">[509]</span> ruins. The work is not a scarce +one in good libraries: I shall therefore be concise in the extracts from +it. The article entitled "Ægina (Greece)" states that the remains of the +Temple of Jupiter Panhellenius (which are engraved in the <i>Ionian +Antiquities</i>) prove it to have been of the Doric order; that it had six +columns in front, but only twelve on the side, in opposition to the +usual custom among Greek architects of adding one column more than +double the number of those in front. The architecture is said closely to +approach that of the hexastyle hypæthral Temple of Pæstum. Williams, in +his <i>Travels</i>, expresses the opinion that this Temple of Jupiter is +older than that of Theseus or the Parthenon. In Dodwell's <i>Greece</i>, too, +there is an ample description of it. He represents it to have been part +of the ruins of an ancient city, perhaps of Oië. Twenty-five columns +were left entire in his day; together with the greater part of the +epistylion, or architrave. The cornice, however, with the metopæ and +triglyphs, have all fallen. The view of this gloriously positioned +temple must have been magnificent from the sea; while the details of the +building must have been equally delighting to the near spectator. The +temple was built of soft porous stone, coated with a thin stucco, which +must have given it a marble appearance. The epistylia were painted, and +the cornice elegantly ornamented in a similar manner. The pavement was +also covered with a thick stucco, painted vermilion. Chandler (<i>Greece</i>, +12-15.) describes traces of the peribolus of this temple; and Clarke +styles it at once the most ancient and remarkable in Greece. I may add +that the Æginetans were celebrated for their works in bronze, for fine +medals (the art of coining money indeed being first introduced by the +inhabitants of this island), for their terra cotta vases, &c. Fosbroke's +excellent <i>Cyclopædia of Antiquities</i> may be with advantage consulted in +respect to the Eginetic school of art.</p> + + <p class="right"> J. J.

In Turnbull's <i>Fragmenta Scoto-Monastica</i>, +published by Stevenson of Edinburgh, 1842, I find it stated that—</p> + + <p class="blockquot"> "Mr. Walter Macfarlan of Macfarlan (<i>Scoticè</i>, of that Ilk) was + an eminent antiquary, who devoted his attentions strictly to the + historical monuments of his own country, especially the + ecclesiastic remains. He caused to be made, at his own expense, + by his clerk, one Tait, copies of most of the chartularies + accessible in his time. These are distinguished for their + fidelity and neatness. Mr. Macfarlan died 5th June, 1767, and his + MSS. were purchased by the Faculty of Advocates."</p> + +<p>Of these valuable and highly important chartularies there has been +printed, 1. Aberdeen; 2.

He was possessed of the most valuable collection of + materials for a work of this kind of any man in the kingdom, + which he collected with great judgment, and at a considerable + expense, and to which we always had, and still have, free access. + This sufficiently appears by the many quotations from + Macfarlane's collections, both in the Peerage and Baronage of + Scotland. In short, he was a man of great benevolence, an + agreeable companion, and a sincere friend.</p> + + <p class="blockquot"> "He married Lady Elizabeth Erskine, daughter of Alexander, sixth + earl of Kelly, and died without issue in June, 1767."</p> + +<p>In the year 1846 there was engraved at the expense of W.

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