We heartily and earnestly express - our thanks to all our friends, whether Contributors or Readers, - for the favour they have shown us, and the encouragement and - support which have rendered the enlargement of our paper - necessary. We entered upon our course with the support of many - distinguished friends, whose varied acquirements stamped an - immediate value on "NOTES AND QUERIES," and gave it a character - which raised it to its present position among the periodicals of - the country. The present number bears witness for us, that whilst - we have retained our old friends, which we acknowledge with pride - and thankfulness, we have added to the number many new ones. We - have striven, and shall ever continue to strive, to unite them - together into one goodly band, feeling assured that by that union - we bring into the pages of "NOTES AND QUERIES" the learning, - kindliness, aptitude, and diversity of talent and subject, which - are necessary to ensure its usefulness, and therefore its success. - To all our Friends and Contributors, both old and new, we offer in - their several degrees the tribute of our grateful thanks, and our - heartiest wishes that we may pass together MANY HAPPY NEW YEARS! - - - - -Notes. - - -STOPS, WHEN FIRST INTRODUCED. - -In casually looking into a little work entitled _The Tablet of Memory_, -I found an entry which informed me that "stops in literature were -introduced in 1520: the colon, 1580; semicolon, 1599." - -Upon what authority the dates here quoted may have been supposed to -rest, I have no notion. - -The comma, beyond question I believe, has been derived from the short -oblique line which, both in manuscripts and in early printed books, is -continually seen to divide portions of sentences. - -The colon is of very old date, derived from the [Greek: kolon] of the -Greeks, the part of a period. In printing, we find it in the Mazarine -Bible soon after 1450; and in the block books, believed to be of still -earlier date. - -Herbert, in his edition of Ames's _Typographical Antiquities_, p. 512., -notices the first semicolon he had met with in an edition of Myles -Coverdale's New Testament, printed in 1538 by Richard Grafton. It was in -the Dedication, and, he says, a solitary instance in the book. The only -semicolon he subsequently met with, was in a book printed by Thomas -Marshe in 1568, on Chess. Ibid. p. 358. - -Herbert says, both seem to have been used accidentally. - -Puttenham, in his _Arte of English Poesie_, 4to., 1589, in his chapter -of "Cesure," says:-- - - "The ancient reformers of language invented these names of pauses, - one of lesse leasure than another, and such several intermissions - of sound, to serve (besides easement to the breath) for a treble - distinction of sentences or parts of speech, as they happened to - be more or lesse perfect in sense. The shortest pause, or - intermission, they called _comma_, as who would say a piece of a - speech cut off. The second they called _colon_, not a piece, but - as it were a member, for his larger length, because it occupied - twice an much time as the comma. The third they called _periodus_, - for a complement or full pause, and as a resting place and - perfection of so much former speech as had been uttered, and from - whence they needed not to passe any further, unless it were to - renew more matter to enlarge the tale." - -The "three pauses, comma, colon, and periode," with the interrogative -point, appear to have been all which were known to Puttenham. - -Puttenham's _Arte of Poesie_ has been already mentioned as printed in -1589. In the Countess of Pembroke's _Arcadia_, printed by W. Ponsonby in -the very next year, 1590, the semicolon may be seen in the first page. - -A book printed at Edinburgh in 1594 has not the semicolon; the use of it -had not, apparently, arrived in Scotland. - -That an earlier use of the semicolon had been made upon the Continent is -probable. It occurs in the _Sermone di Beato Leone Papa_, 4to., Flor. -1485, the last point in the book. - -The interrogative point, or note of interrogation, probably derived from -the Greek, occurs frequently in Wilson's _Arte of Rhetorique_, 4to., -1553. - -Some reader of your "NOTES AND QUERIES," better informed than myself, -may possibly throw further light upon the English adoption of stops in -literature. - - HENRY ELLIS. - - -PREACHING FROM TEXTS IN CORNWALL. - -Your correspondents have already pointed out the very early prevalence -of this usage, but the inquiry has brought to my recollection an -instance which incidentally affords some curious information respecting -the several languages formerly current in the western parts of this -island. It was lately published, among numerous other extracts, from the -registers of the see of Exeter, in the valuable _Monasticon Dioecesis -Exoniensis_ of Dr. Oliver, pp. 11, 12. - -In 1336, Grandison, then Bishop of Exeter, made a visitation of his -diocese. At the western extremity of it, is situate the deanery or -collegiate church of St. Burian, which has always claimed to be exempt -from episcopal visitation, or at least from ordinary jurisdiction. It is -probable that, on one occasion of this disputed exemption, the -parishioners of this remote district at the Land's End had given offence -to the Bishop or his functionaries. - -In company with the Lords Mortimer, D'Awney, and Bloyhon (probably an -ancestor of your correspondent BLOWEN), and a large staff of -archdeacons, chancellors, canons, chaplains, and familiars, the Bishop -visited the church of St. Burian, and obtained from the parishioners a -solemn promise of future obedience to his spiritual authority. The -promise was made by the greater parishioners in English and French, and -by the rest in Cornish, which the rector of St. Just (a parish which has -lately obtained some celebrity by the Gorham controversy) interpreted to -his lordship. Having absolved them, he then preached a long sermon on -the text, "_Eratis sicut oves errantes conversi ad pastorem episcopum -animarum vestrarum_," which the rector of St. Just there interpreted in -Cornish. - -It is not stated in the record what language was used by the Bishop in -his sermon; but if he preached, as one of his successors, Bishop Lacy, -is known to have done, in the language of his text, the business of -explanation must have been rather troublesome. As he is said to have -"successively" preached this sermon there,--"_successive ibidem publice -praedicavit supra sumpto themate_,"--it is possible that he had to repeat -his sermon in more languages than one. It is at all events certain, that -_three_ languages at least were employed, and that the Bishop did not -understand Cornish, nor the Cornish men the Bishop. The names of the -"major parishioners," that is, of the gentlemen of the district, are -appended to the document, and are all (except perhaps one) genuine -Cornish families, including the Boscawens and Vyvyans of the present -day. They gave in their adhesion to the Bishop in English and French, -and must therefore have understood one or both of those languages. Of -the Bishop's chaplains, only one has a Cornish name; and the interpreter -and rector of the adjacent parish of St. Just, Henry Marseley, was also -probably not a Cornubian. - -I may mention that the penitent parishioners very prudently reserved the -king's rights. As the king claimed the deanery of St. Burian as a royal -peculiar exempt from ordinary jurisdiction, and eventually made good his -claim, it is plain that neither the promises of the parishioners nor the -polyglot sermon of the Bishop, could have had any lasting effect. The -patronage was soon after conferred on the Black Prince, and through him -transmitted to the present Duke of Cornwall, by whose spontaneous act -this obnoxious exemption from episcopal control was wholly and for ever -renounced within the last two years. The successor of Grandison may -now, therefore, visit the churches of the deanery, excommunicate the -ministers and parishioners, and interrogate presentees, without let or -hindrance; and, since the language of Cornwall died with old Dolly -Pentreath, his lordship will not require the hermeneutic services either -of the present or the _late incumbent_ of St. Just. - - E. SMIRKE. - - -ON THE EXPRESSION "RICHLY DESERVED." - -I was a few days ago induced to consider whence the common expression -"richly deserved" could be derived. It is used by Addison and his -contemporaries, but I have not been able to find it in writers of an -earlier period. Possibly the reading of some of your contributors may -supply instances of its occurrence which may prove more precisely its -origin and history. - -The phrase, in its literal sense, is anomalous and unmeaning. We may -properly say that a reward or punishment has been "fully deserved" or, -by a common mode of exaggeration, we may say that a thing has been -"abundantly deserved:" but "richly deserved" seems a false figure of -speech, and presents to the mind an obvious incongruity of ideas. Dr. -Johnson cites a passage from Addison, in which chastisement is said to -have been "richly deserved," and says that it is used ironically to -signify "truly" or "abundantly." - -Of the meaning of the expression--now by usage become trivial--there -can, of course, be no doubt; but how came so inappropriate a thought as -_wealth_ to be applied to desert? The inaptitude of the expression -suggests the presumption that it is a corruption of some more correct -phrase; and I venture to throw out a conjecture, for confirmation or -refutation by the more extensive reading of some of your philological -contributors, that it is corrupted through the medium of oral -pronunciation from "righteously deserved." - -In one of the prayers of the Litany, in our Book of Common Prayer, is -the expression, "Turn from us all those evils which we most righteously -have deserved." "Righteously" is itself a barbarous corruption of an -excellent English word, "rightwisely," which is used by Bishop Fisher -and other old writers. Our ancient kings were said to be "rightwise" -kings of England, and to hold their prerogatives and titles -"rightwisely;" and in the Liturgies of Edward VI. the word "rightwisely" -is found, instead of "righteously," in the prayer of the Litany -above-mentioned. Now "rightwisely deserved" is an expression as strictly -logical and correct, as "richly deserved" is the contrary; and as -"righteously" is clearly a corruption of "rightwisely," may not -"richly," when applied to desert, be corrupted immediately from -"righteously," and ultimately from "rightwisely?" - - D. JARDINE. - - -THE CAXTON COFFER. - -If I were to print the explanation which follows without also producing -evidence that it had escaped the notice of those to whose works all -students in early English bibliography have recourse, it would seem like -advancing a claim to discovery on very slight grounds. I must therefore -quote Ames, Herbert, and Dibdin. - - "_The history of Lombardy_, translated from the Latin [by William - Caxton], is mentioned by Pitts."--J. AMES, 1749. - - "I take this _History of Lombardy_ to be no other than 'the gestis - of the Lombardes and of Machomet wyth other cronycles,' added to - the life of St. Pelagyen in the _Golden legend_, and printed - separately for the use of the commonality [sic], who could not - purchase so large a folio."--W. HERBERT, 1785; T. F. DIBDIN, 1810. - -Both Bale and Pits ascribe to Caxton the translation of a work entitled -_Historia Lumbardica_. Ames, as we have seen, states the fact with -regard to Pits, but had met with no such work; Herbert, by way of -explanation, assumes the existence of a publication of which no one had -before heard; and Dibdin, who had far superior means of information, -repeats the observations of Herbert without the addition of one word -expressive of assent or dissent. May we not infer their inability to -solve the problem? - -The conjecture of Herbert is very plausible. One fact, however, is worth -a score of conjectures; and the fact, in this case, is that in the -earlier editions of the Latin legend the title is _Legenda sanctorum -sive historia Longobardica_. Jacques de Voragine, the author of the work -in question, was a Lombard by birth, and archbishop of Genoa. Now -_Lombardi_ and _Longobardi_ were synonymous terms--as we see in Du -Fresne; and so were their derivatives. With this explanation, it must be -admitted that the _Historia Lumbardica_ of Bale and Pits is no other -than the _Golden legend_! - - BOLTON CORNEY. - -Since my last communication, I have ascertained that "Caxton," in -Cambridgeshire was also designated "Causton." - -In the _Abbrev. Rot. Origin._, 41 E. 3., Rot. 42., we have-- - - "Cantabr. Joh[=e]s Freville dat viginti marcas [p=] li[=e] - feoffandi Joh[=e]m de Carleton et Joh[=e]m de Sel[=v]le de man'io - de _Causton_," &c. - -And in _Cal. Inq._, p. m., 4 R. 2., No. 23., we have-- - - "Elena uxor Joh[=e]s Frevill Ch[=r]. _Caxton_ maner 3a - pars--Cantabr." - -We have, then, in Cambridgeshire "Causton" and "Caxton" used -indifferently for the same manor. There need be no difficulty, -therefore, in identifying the name of "Caxton" with "Causton" manor in -Hadlow. - -We have advanced, then, one step further in our investigation, and the -case at present stands thus: Caxton says of himself that he was born in -the Weald of Kent. Fuller, as cited by MR. BOLTON CORNEY, says, -"William Caxton was born in that town [sc. Caxton]." - -In the Weald of Kent is a manor called Causton (to which we may now add) -alias Caxton, which manor was owned in the middle of the fourteenth -century by a family of the same name (from whom it had passed a century -later), and held of the honour of Clare, the lords of which honour, in -the fifteenth century, were that ducal and royal house, by which William -Caxton was warmly patronised. - -From these data we will hope that some of your correspondents may deduce -materials for satisfactorily fixing the place of Caxton's birth. Is -there upon record any note of armorial bearings, or of any badge used by -Caxton? Should there be, and we find such to be at all connected with -the bearings of the lords of Causton, it will be additional evidence in -our favour. - - LAMBERT B. LARKING. - -In the body of St. Alphege Church, Canterbury, is the following -monumental inscription: - - "Pray for the sawlys of John Caxton and of Jone - And Isabel that to this church great good hath done - In making new in the chancell - Of Dexkys and Setys aswell - An Antiphon the which did bye - With a table of the martyrdome of St. Alphye - Forthing much which did pay - And departed out of this life of October the 12 day - And Isabel his second wiff - Passed to blisse where is no strife - The xijt day to tell the trowth - Of the same moneth as our Lord knoweth - In the yeare of our Lord God a thousand fower hundred - fowerscore and five." - -What relation (if any) was the above to the typographer? They must have -been co-existent, and the "Note" may perhaps be a step in the right -direction for arriving at the true "stock" of the _Caxton Coffer_. - - FRANCISCUS. - - -ADMONITION TO THE PARLIAMENT. - -I never had the good fortune to see a copy of the book called _An -Admonition to the Parliament_, but I find a full description of it in -Herbert's _Ames_, iii. 1631., under the date of 1572, from which I gather -that it had been printed four times anterior to that year. It was -written by two puritanical divines, Field and Wilcox, and contained such -an attack upon the bishops, that they did their utmost to suppress it; -but Whitgift, nevertheless, gave it additional notoriety by publishing -an answer to it, which came out originally in 1571, and was reprinted in -1572 and 1573 (Herbert's _Ames_, ii. 934.). I have not Strype at hand to -see what he says about the _Admonition_, and the reply to it; but some -time ago I met with a letter among the Lansdown MSS. (No. 27.) which -relates to the _Admonition_, and shows that Thomas Woodcock, a well -known stationer, had been confined in Newgate by the Bishop of London -(Aylmer) for selling it. It is dated 9th Dec. 1578, and is subscribed by -five of the most distinguished and respectable printers and publishers -of that day, soliciting Lord Burghley (to whom it is addressed) to -interfere on behalf of the poor prisoner. It runs precisely in the -following form: - -"Our humble duties unto your good L. premised. May it please the same to -be advertised, that one Thomas Woodcock, an honest young man, and one of -our Company, hathe bin imprisoned in Newgate by the L. Bishopp of London -theis six dayes, for sellinge of certaine bookes called the _Admonition -to the Parliament_. Dyvers of the poore mans frendes have bin earnest -suitors unto the Bishopp of London for his libertie: his L. aunswere -unto them is, that he neither can nor will do any thinge without your L. -consent, signified by your letters or warrant. It may therfore please -your honor, in consideration of the premisses and our humble request, -either to direct your L. warrant for his enlargement, or els to signifie -your pleasure unto the L. Bishopp of London to take order herein -accordingly, the said poore man first puttinge in sufficient bond to -appeare at all tymes when he shalbe called, and readdy to aunswere to -any matters whatsoever shalbe objected against him. Thus prayinge, -accordinge to our duties, for your good L. long and prosperous health -with encrease of honor, we commyt the same for this tyme to the -protection of the Almightie. At London, 9'o Decemb. 1578. - -"Your L. most humble at Command the Mr. and Wardens with others of the -Company of Stationers, - - "RYCHARDE TOTTYLL, - GEORGE BYSSHOP, - JOHN HARYSON, - WILLM. SERES, - JOHN DAYE." - -From the above we may perhaps conclude, that an edition of the -_Admonition to Parliament_ had been printed not long before the date of -Thomas Woodcock's imprisonment for selling it; but I do not find that -any historian or bibliographer mentions such an edition. Excepting in -the letter of the five stationers, Tottyll, Bysshop, Haryson, Seres, and -Daye, there seems to be no authority for connecting Woodcock with the -publication, and his confinement did not take place until Dec. 6, 1578; -whereas Neal, in his _History of the Puritans_, as cited by Herbert, -informs us that Field and Wilcox, on presenting the _Admonition_ to the -House of Commons in 1572, were immediately committed to Newgate. - -Unless there were two puritanical ministers of the name of Field, he, -who was imprisoned with Wilcox, was the John Field, who, I apprehend, -was the father of Nathaniel Field, the actor in Shakspeare's plays, and -the Theophilus Field, who (in spite of his father's hostility to the -church and bishops, and in spite of his brother's devotion to the -stage,) was afterwards Bishop of Llandaff from 1619 to 1627, Bishop of -St. David's from 1627 to 1635, and Bishop of Hereford from 1635 to 1636, -when he died. - - J. PAYNE COLLIER. - - -FOLK LORE. - -_New Year's Rain_--_Saxon Spell._--I have just read a good-natured -notice[1] in _The Athenaeum_ of December 6th, in which your contemporary -suggests that communications on the subject of _Folk Lore_ should be -addressed to you. The perusal of it has reminded me of two Queries upon -the subject, which I had originally intended to address to the editor of -that paper, as they refer to articles which appeared in his own pages. -On his hint, however, I will transfer them to your columns; and avail -myself of the opportunity of thanking the editor of _The Athenaeum_ for -having for so long a period and so effectually directed the attention of -the readers of that influential journal to a subject of great interest -to many, and of considerable historical value. The first relates to a -song sung by the children in South Wales on New Year's morning, when -carrying a jug full of water newly drawn from the well. It is given in -_The Athenaeum_, No. 1058., for the 5th Feb., 1848, and there several -references will be found to cognate superstitions. My object is to ask -if the song is known elsewhere; and if so, whether with any such -varieties of readings as would clear some of the obscurities of the -present version:-- - - "Here we bring new water - From the well so clear, - For to worship God with - This happy New Year. - Sing levez dew, sing levez dew, - The water and the wine; - The seven bright gold wires - And the bugles they do shine. - - "Sing reign of Fair Maid - With gold upon her toe,-- - Open you the West Door, - And let the Old Year go. - Sing reign of Fair Maid, - With gold upon her chin, - Open you the East Door, - And let the New Year in." - -The second is from _The Athenaeum's_ very able review of Mr. Kemble's -_Saxons in England_,--a work of learning and genius not yet nearly so -well known as it deserves. The reviewer says: - - "In one of the Saxon spells, which Mr. Kemble has inserted in his - appendix, we at once recognized a rhyme which we have heard an old - woman in our childhood use--and in which many Saxon words, - unintelligible to her, were probably retained." - -If my communication should meet the eye of the gentleman who wrote this, -I hope he will let the readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES" become acquainted -with the rhyme in question. For it is obvious that among them will be -found many who agree with him that "a very curious and useful -compilation might be made of the various spells in use in different -parts of England, classed according to their localities,--more -especially if the collectors would give them verbatim," and who would -therefore be willing to assist towards its formation. - - A FOLK-LORIST. - - [Footnote 1: We should not be doing justice either to our own - feelings or to the kindness and liberality of our able and most - influential contemporary, if we did not take this opportunity of - acknowledging not only his kindness upon the present occasion, but - also the encouragement which _The Athenaeum_ has taken every - opportunity of affording to "NOTES AND QUERIES."--ED. N. & Q.] - -_Fishermen's superstitions._--A friend recently informed me that at -Preston Pans the two following superstitious observances exist among the -fishermen of that place. If, on their way to their boats, they meet a -pig, they at once turn back and defer their embarkation. The event is an -omen that bodes ill for their fishery. - -It is a favourite custom to set sail on the Sunday for the fishing -grounds. A clergyman of the town is said to pray against their -sabbath-breaking; and to prevent any injury accruing from his prayers, -the fishermen make a small image of rags, and burn it on the top of -their chimneys. - - U. - - -THE AUTHOR OF HUDIBRAS AT LUDLOW CASTLE. - -So little is known of Butler,--his life, as his biographers have given -it to us, is made up of so very few anecdotes and dates,--that I have -thought any Note which contained a fact about him, would be an -acceptable addition to "N. & Q." (I shall value your space, you see, in -future contributions). The following entries are copied from Lord -Carbery's Account of the Expense incurred in making Ludlow Castle -habitable after Clarendon's "Great Rebellion" (query, Civil War); and -the entries are valuable as specifying the period of Butler's services -as steward of Ludlow Castle, and the nature of the services performed by -the great wit:-- - - "For sundry supplyes of furniture paid for by Mr. Samuell Butler, - late Steward, from January, 1661, to January, 1662, ixli. ijs. - vd., and more by him paid to sundry Brasiers, Pewterers, and - Coopers, vjli. vijs. iijd. In both - - xvli. ixs. viijd. - - "For sundry other supplyes of furniture paid for by Mr. Edward - Lloyd the succeeding Steward, from January, 1662, to January, - 1667 - - clxli. xiiijs. xd. - - "For several Bottles, Corkes, and Glasses, bought by Mr. Butler, - late Steward, from January, 1661, to January, 1662, vjli. xiijs. - jd., and for two Saddles and furniture for the Caterer and - Slaughterman, xxvjs. viijd. In both - - vijli. xixs. ixd." - -I was at Ludlow Castle last autumn, and thought (of course) of _Comus_ -and _Hudibras_. I bought at the same time the three parts of my friend -Mr. Wright's excellent _History of Ludlow Castle_, and paid in advance -for the concluding part. Pray let me ask Mr. Wright (through "N. & Q.") -by what time (I am a hungry antiquary) we may hope the concluding part -will be published? I will gladly show Mr. Wright Lord Carbery's Account. - - PETER CUNNINGHAM. - - -DR. FRANKLIN'S TRACT ON LIBERTY AND NECESSITY. - -In Dr. Franklin's _Autobiography_, he mentions as his first work a -pamphlet printed in London in 1725 on Liberty and Necessity, Pleasure -and Pain. It was written by him when he was eighteen years of age, and -partly in answer to Wollaston's _Religion of Nature_. The object was to -prove, from the attributes of God, his infinite wisdom, goodness, and -power, that nothing could possibly be wrong in the world; and that vice -and virtue were empty distinctions, no such things existing. He printed, -he says, only a hundred copies, of which he gave a few to his friends; -and afterwards disliking the piece, as conceiving it might have an ill -tendency, he burnt the rest except one copy. This tract, most curious as -the first publication of this extraordinary man, seems to have eluded -hitherto every search. In Jared Sparks's elaborate edition of Dr. -Franklin's Works in 10 vols., it is of course not to be found. In a note -(vol. viii., p. 405.), the editor observes, "No copy of this tract is -now known to be in existence." Nor do I find that any writer on the -subject of Franklin, or the history of metaphysics, or moral philosophy, -appears to have seen it. Sir Jas. Mackintosh was long in search of it, -but was compelled ultimately to give it up in despair. - -I am happy to inform those who may take an interest in Dr. Franklin's -first performance--and what is there in literary history more attractive -than to compare the earliest works of great men with their maturer -efforts?--that I fortunately possess a copy of this tract. It is bound -up in a volume of tracts, and came from the library of the Rev. S. -Harper. The title is, "_A Dissertation on Liberty and Necessity, -Pleasure and Pain, in a Letter to a Friend_: - - 'Whatever is, is in its causes just, - Since all things are by fate; but purblind man - Sees but a part o' th' chain, the nearest link, - His eyes not carrying to the equal beam, - That poises all above.'--DRYD." - -It is addressed to Mr. J(ames) R(alph), and commences: "Sir, I have -here, according to your request, given you my present thoughts on the -general state of things in the universe;" and concludes, "Truth will be -truth, though it sometimes proves mortifying and distasteful." The -pamphlet contains sixteen very closely printed pages in octavo; and the -author proceeds by laying down his propositions, and then enlarging upon -them, so as to form, in his opinion, a regular chain of consequences. It -displays, as might be anticipated, considerable acuteness, though the -reasonings, as he admits in his _Autobiography_, were such as to his -maturer intellect appeared inconclusive. He subsequently wrote another -pamphlet, in which he took the other side of the question; but it was -never published, and I suppose is not now in existence. - - JAS. CROSSLEY. - - -EARLY FLEMISH ILLUSTRATIONS OF EARLY ENGLISH LITERATURE. - -The commencement of a new volume of "NOTES AND QUERIES" affords a -favourable opportunity for "tapping" (to use an expressive phrase of -Horace Walpole's) a subject, on which it is reasonable to suppose much -light may be thrown by some of your learned correspondents. I allude to -the connection which formerly subsisted between the literature of -England, and that of the Low Countries. Fortunate, indeed, would it be -if any communication to "NOTES AND QUERIES" might be the means of -drawing some illustration from one qualified beyond all others to treat -every branch of this most interesting subject. Those of your readers who -had the pleasure of hearing the admirable speech of a distinguished -diplomatist at the Centenary Dinner of the Society of Antiquaries, will -probably understand to whom I refer. - -Reserving for a future occasion some observations on the manner in which -our English antiquaries have hitherto overlooked the materials -illustrative of our popular literature, our popular superstitions, our -early drama, our legends, and our traditions, which may be had for the -gathering, from the popular literature, the popular superstitions, the -early drama, the legends and traditions of the Low Countries--those Low -Countries from which Chaucer married his wife--those Low Countries from -which Caxton brought us his printing-press, and its long train of -blessings--those Low Countries, in which, as I believe, and hope one day -to prove, Shakspeare himself added to his vast stores of knowledge--I -shall for the present content myself with one example, and that shall -be a seasonable one, namely, of the similarity between the old Flemish -carols, and those with which, at this happy season, the nights were -whilom blest here in Old England. - -Hoffman von Fallersleben, in the second part of his _Horae Belgicae_, that -great storehouse of materials for illustrating the early literature of -the Netherlands (and which second part, by the bye, was separately -published under the title of _Hollaendische Volkslieder_), after showing -that the sacred songs of the Low Countries are, like our own, separable -into Christmas carols, Easter hymns, songs in praise of the Virgin, and -songs of Christian doctrine, proceeds to characterise the former in -terms in which one might well describe many of those which were formerly -most popular in our country. "The carols," he remarks, "are especially -deserving of our attention. In them is most clearly shown the child-like -religious spirit of the olden times, when men were not content merely to -relate in the simple ballad form the story of Our Saviour's birth as -recorded in Holy Scripture, but sought, by the introduction of little -touches drawn from social and country life, to make that story more -attractive and more instructive, and so to bring it home more directly -to the hearts of their pious hearers." How truly applicable these -remarks are to many of our own carols, must be obvious to all who know -Mr. Sandys' valuable _Collection_; and the following instances, which -Hoffman adduces in support of his views, will, I trust, satisfy your -readers that I am right in maintaining the great resemblance between the -carols of Old Flanders and those of Old England. - -"Many of the descriptions in these carols," he remarks, "bear a strong -resemblance to some of the Bible pictures of the old masters;" and he -gives, as an instance, the following simple picture of the Infant Jesus -in the bath: - - "'The mother she made the child a bath, - How lovely then therein it sate; - The childling so platched with its hand - That the water out of the beaker sprang.'[2] - - [Footnote 2: The version is, of course, as nearly literal as possible.] - -"But sometimes these religious poetical feelings impress themselves so -deeply in their subject, that the descriptions verge closely upon the -ludicrous: - - "'Mary did not herself prepare - With cradle-clothes to her hand there, - In which her dear child to wind. - Soon as Joseph this did find, - His hosen from his legs he drew, - Which to this day at Aix they show, - And with them those holy clothes did make - In which God first man's form did take.' - -"It is true that we look upon these descriptions with modern eyes, not -taking into consideration that our manners and customs, that our general -views, in short, are not at all times in unison with those of the -fifteenth century. But even if we are always right in these and similar -cases, still we cannot deny that there often lies in these old poems -what we, notwithstanding we are in the possession of the most exquisite -skill, cannot at all reach,--an infinite _naivete_, a touching -simplicity. Especially rich in this respect are the songs which describe -the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt: - - "'Joseph he did leap and run, - Until an ass's foal he won, - Whereon he set the maiden mild, - And with her that most blessed child.' - -"The whole idyllic life which they led in that country is told to us in -a few unpretending traits: - - "'Joseph he led the ass, - The bridle held he; - What found they by the way, - But a date tree? - Oh! ass's foal thou must stand still, - To gather dates it is our will, - So weary are we. - The date tree bowed to the earth, - To Mary's knee; - Mary would fill her lap - From the date tree. - Joseph was an old man, - And wearied was he; - Mary, let the date tree bide, - We have yet forty miles to ride, - And late it will be. - Let us pray this blessed child - Grant us mercie.' - -"Nay, these simple songs even inform us how the Holy family laboured for -their subsistence in this 'strange countree:' - - "'Mary, that maiden dear, - Well could she spin; - Joseph as a carpenter, - Could his bread win. - When Joseph was grown old, - That no longer work he could, - The thread he wound, - And Jesus to rich and poor - Carried it round.'" - - WILLIAM J. THOMS. - - -Minor Notes. - -_Family Likenesses._--I believe that a likeness always exists in members -of the same family, though it may _not always_ be seen, and, even then, -not by _everybody_. I have seen at times a striking likeness in a pretty -face to that of a plain one in the same family. - -In one of the _Edinburgh Journals_ (Chambers') a stranger is said to -have remarked the likeness to the portraits of Sir William Wallace of a -passer-by, and was then informed by his companion that he was a -_descendant_. - -I am witness of a strong likeness in a young man, born in 1832, to the -portrait of his great-great-uncle, born in 1736,--which carries back the -inherited likeness to the latter's father, who was born in 1707, and -married 1730. It is no mere fancy of my own, but has been noticed by -several on seeing the portrait. - - A. C. - -_Bloomerism in the Sixteenth Century._--Happening to pitch upon the -following extract, I forward it to you in the belief that it may, at the -present time, have an interest for some of your readers:-- - - "I have met with some of these trulles in London so disguised that - it hath passed my skills to discerne whether they were men or - women."--Hollinshed, _Description of England_. - - X. X. X. - -_Inscriptions at Much Wenlock and on Statue of Queen Anne at -Windsor._--Carved in a beam over the town hall of Much Wenlock, in -Shropshire, stands (or perhaps stood, for the building was very old -thirty years since) the following curious verses: - - "Hic locus odit, amat, punit, conservat, honorat, - Nequitiam, pacem, crimina, jura, bonos." - -I am not aware if they have appeared previously in your publication; but -they are worthy of preservation, I think, if for nothing else, for the -oddity of linking one line with another. - -There is also a couple of lines on the town hall, Windsor, underneath a -miserable statue of Queen Anne: - - "Arte tua, sculptor, non est imitabilis Anna, - Annae vis similem sculpere? sculpe Deam." - -The unintentional satire conveyed in the first line is very appropriate, -as the statue is a thing of wood, and forcibly reminds one of the -_charming_ statue of George IV. formerly at King's Cross. - - PROCURATOR. - - - - -Queries. - - -THE AGE OF TREES.--THE GREAT ELM AT HAMPSTEAD. - -The question of the age of trees, introduced to your notice by your very -able correspondent L. (Vol. iv., p. 401.), and touched upon by several -others, is a subject of peculiar interest, and yet I scarcely know any -ancient memorials which have been so much neglected by antiquarian -inquirers. How seldom has any systematic attempt been made to collect -the existing historical evidence relating to them, and of the few weak -efforts which have been put forth in that direction, how insignificant -have been the results! Such evidence exists in a great variety of -quarters, and if your correspondents could be persuaded to adopt L.'s -suggestion, and take up the matter in a really serious spirit, the -nature of your publication, and the wide extent of your circulation, -render your pages singularly well adapted for doing really effective -service in a cause which is equally interesting to the naturalist and -the antiquary. What is wanted is, that antiquarian students should bring -forward the facts respecting historical trees which are to be found in -ancient evidences of all kinds, and that local knowledge should be -applied to the identification of such trees wherever it is possible. If -this were done--done, that is, thoroughly and carefully--I cannot doubt -that an antiquity would be satisfactorily established in reference to -many trees and clumps of trees still existing throughout the kingdom, -which it would now be thought supremely wild and fanciful even to -imagine. I would not go the length of anticipating that we might -establish the identity of some grove in which druidical mysteries have -been celebrated, or (to adopt the words of Sir Walter Scott) of some -"broad-headed, short-stemmed, wide-branched" monarchs of the forest, -"which had witnessed the march of the Roman soldiery;" I should almost -despair even of identifying the thorns on Ash Down (a place itself named -from some celebrated tree), around which the battle raged between Alfred -and the Danes: but every one at all acquainted with ancient documents -knows how frequently they contain allusions to celebrated trees; and it -is perfectly possible that trees which sheltered King John in his -continual wild, impulsive, Arab-like flights from place to place, or -under which the Edwards halted in their marches to Scotland or Wales, -may yet be pointed out. I have no doubt that Evelyn saw evidence that -the Tortworth Great Chestnut was a boundary tree in the days of King -Stephen; and if such evidence is not now forthcoming, I by no means -despair of its re-discovery, if any one will set himself seriously to -search for it. We learn in Pepys[3], that in his time, in the forest of -Dean, there were still standing the old "Vorbid" or "forbid" trees of -the time of Edward III.; that is (I presume), the trees which were left -standing as marks or boundaries when there was a great felling of timber -in the reign of Edward III. Perhaps some of your correspondents can tell -us whether there are any such trees known in the forest of Dean now. - - [Footnote 3: Pepys's Diary, ii. 18.] - -The recurrence of the mention of celebrated trees in early charters, is -far more frequent than any one who has not examined the subject would -suppose. There was no kind of "mark" or "bound" more common amongst -ancient people, or more frequently mentioned in their written evidences, -than large or celebrated trees. Any one may satisfy himself upon this -point by a simple reference to Mr. Kemble's invaluable _Codex -Diplomaticus_. I have just taken down the third volume of that work, -and, dipping into it at random, at p. 448. I find the following, in the -enumeration of the bounds of some lands at Brokenborough, in Wilts:-- - - "From thence to the mark which is called the Apple-Thorn, and from - the same apple-bearing tree, by the public street, to Woubourne, - and along the same water by a straight course to Geresbourne, and - along the same stream in a straight course to Ordwoldes wood, - which is now called Bradene, and through the same wood for about - three miles to the boundary mark, which is called holehoke" [Holy - Oak]. - -Here are intimations which must have been recognizable in the spot for -centuries afterwards. - -At p. 343. of the same volume, we read of "Kentwines Tree" at Shipford, -and "Adulfes Tree" and "Hysemannes Thorn" at Mickleton. At p. 336. is -mention of "the single thorn" by Ellenford, and the "Kolan Tree" and -"Huredes Tree," near the same place. At p. 328. we read of "the Hundred -Tree" at Winchendon. At p. 174. of "Dunemannes Tree" at Bladen. - -In vol. v. at p. 297. we have a remarkable description of boundaries at -Blewbury, in Berkshire, in which we read, if I interpret correctly:-- - - "From Hawkthorn [now Hackthorn] to the Long Thorn on the Ikenild - way; thence to the Third Thorn at Wirhangran; thence to the Fourth - Thorn which stands forward on Wrangan Hill; thence to the Fifth - Thorn; thence to the Olive Tree; thence west along the bye road to - the Thorn"--and so forth. - -In the same description we read of several "Treowstealls," which mean, I -suppose, clumps of trees, and amongst them of "Athelstanes Treowsteal." - -In vol. vi. at p. 8. we read of "Frigedaeges Tree," at Ginge, in -Berkshire; at p. 60., of "Wiggerdes Tree," at Plush, in Dorsetshire; and -innumerable other instances may be found throughout the book. These have -occurred to me on just opening the volumes here and there, and are -adduced merely to explain to persons unacquainted with the _Codex -Diplomaticus_, the nature of the information upon this subject which it -contains; and there are many other books from which similar facts may be -derived. - -The examples I have given exhibit the various parts which conspicuous -trees were made to play in ancient times. The Holy Oak and Frigedaeges -Tree had, no doubt, been consecrated to superstition; the Hundred Tree -marked a place for the general assembly of the people of a district; the -trees distinguished by the prefixed names of individuals, indicated that -they stood on the properties of private owners,--on lands, that is, -which the owners had "called after their own names." The memory of many -historical trees is probably preserved to the present day in the names -of the fields in which they stood. How many Mickle Thorn coppices, and -Broad Oak pastures, and Long Tree meadows, and Old Yew pieces are -scattered over the country. How many hundreds, and other larger -divisions of counties, are named after ancient trees. How many of the -old Saxon names of our towns and hamlets indicate that they grew up -around a well-known oak, or ash, or thorn, or yew; in like manner as, in -later periods, when strength rather than law was the ruler, the people -crowded together their hovels under the protective shadow of the castle -of some powerful chieftain, or within the privileged precincts of some -consecrated fane. - -Having thus indicated, or rather enforced, a subject which I think well -deserves the attention of your correspondents all over the world, allow -me to conclude with a Query relating to a celebrated tree, of a -comparatively modern date, which once existed in the neighbourhood of -the metropolis. - -THE GREAT ELM AT HAMPSTEAD.--Where did it stand? What was its ultimate -fate? When and how was it compelled to yield to the great leveller? It -is delineated in a very scarce engraving by Hollar, which bears the date -of 1653, and which is found on a poetical commemorative broadside, -printed in that year. This tree, although then in full leaf, or so -represented in Hollar's engraving, was entirely hollow. A staircase of -forty-two steps had been contrived within its stem, by means of which -visitors ascended to a turret erected on the top, which was capacious -enough to give seats to six persons, and to contain twenty persons in -the whole. The stem of the tree was twenty-eight feet in compass on the -ground, and the ascent to the turret was thirty-three feet. The tree -must have stood on some of the highest ground at Hampstead, for it is -said that six neighbouring counties could be seen from the top of it. -The Thames is mentioned as visible from it, with its shipping; and the -following lines indicate the wide expanse which it commanded. The lines -were written just at the time when Cromwell was about to assume the -Protectorate. - - "Those stately structures where the court - Had late their mansions, when our kings would sport; - Of whom deprived they mourn, and, desolate, - Like widows, look on their forlorn estate: - 'Tis not smooth Richmond's streams, nor Acton's mill, - Nor Windsor Castle, nor yet Shooter's Hill, - Nor groves, nor plains, which further off do stand, - Like landscapes portray'd by some happy hand: - But a swift view, which most delightful shows, - And doth them all, and all at once, disclose."[4] - - [Footnote 4: These lines are by Robert Codrington, respecting whom - a reference may be made to Wood's _Athenae_, iii. 699. Bliss's ed.] - -Such was the entire command of the country which this tree enjoyed, that -it is said that - - "Only Harrow on the Hill plays Rex, - And will have none more high in Middlesex." - -"Essex Broad Oak" [where did that stand?] from which more than twenty -miles could be seen, is poetically declared to have been "but a twig" in -comparison with his relative at Hampstead; to find whose equal it is -stated that - - "You must as far as unto Bordeaux go." - -There are other things worth remembering in connexion with this wonder -of Hampstead: but I have occupied already more than enough of your -space, and will only express my hope that some one will tell us where -the Hampstead tree stood, and what was its fate; and what is known about -the Essex Broad Oak; and what also about the Bordeaux compeer of the -tree monarch of Hampstead. - - JOHN BRUCE. - - -Minor Queries. - -"_Inveni portum_"--"_For they, 'twas they._"--You will much oblige me by -permitting me to ask, through the medium of your entertaining -publication, from whence the two following quotations were cited: - - "Inveni portum.--Spes et fortuna valete: - Sat me lusistis; ludite nunc alios." - - "For _they_, 'twas _they_, unsheath'd the ruthless blade, - And Heav'n shall ask the havock it has made." - -The first will be found in _Gil Blas_, livre 10ieme, chapitre 10ieme; -and the second is used by the renegade Paul Jones in his mock-heroic -epistle to the Countess of Selkirk, in extenuation of his having -plundered the family seat in Scotland of the plate, on the 23rd April, -1778. - -I should not trouble you, but I have asked many, of extensive reading -and retentive memories, for solution of these Queries ineffectually. - - AMICUS. - -_Matthew Walker._--Can any of your correspondents, learned in naval -antiquities and biographies, give any account of Matthew Walker, whose -knot (described and figured in Darcy Lever's _Sheet Anchor_) is known by -his name all over the world; and truly said to be "a handsome knot for -the end of a Lanyard?" - - REGEDONUM. - -_Aleclenegate._--The east gate of the town of Bury St. Edmund's, which -was always under the exclusive control of the abbot, is sometimes -mentioned as "the Aleclenegate." What is the origin of the word? - - BURIENSIS. - -_Smothering Hydrophobic Patients._--I can recollect, when I was a boy, -to have been much surprised and horrified with the accounts that old -people gave me, that it was the practice in decided cases of _rabies -canina_ to suffocate the unfortunate patient between feather beds. The -disease being so suddenly and so invariably fatal, where it appeared -unequivocally to attack the sufferer, might dispose the world to ascribe -the death to what surely may be termed foul play; but perhaps some of -your readers may be able to state where mention is made of such -treatment, or what could give rise to such an opinion in the public -mind. - - INDAGATOR. - -_Philip Twisden, Bishop of Raphoe._--In Haydn's _Book of Dignities_, p. -475., there is the following note on the name of the prelate:-- - - "Sir James Ware, or, more properly, the subsequent editors of his - works, narrate some very extraordinary circumstances that rendered - the close of the life of this prelate very remarkable and - unfortunate; but we feel unwilling to transcribe them, though - there seems to be no doubt of their truth." - -As Sir James Ware died in 1666, and the latest edition of his work on -the Bishops of Ireland (by Walter Harris) was published in 1736, it is -impossible that either he, or his subsequent editors, could have -recorded anything of the last days of a prelate who died Nov. 2, 1752. - -Mr. Haydn, however, speaks as if he had actually before him the -mysterious narrative which he has gone so far out of his way to allude -to, and which for some equally mysterious reason he was "unwilling to -transcribe," although he thought it necessary to call attention to it, -and to express his inclination to believe in its truth. - -If this should meet his eye, would Mr. Haydn have the kindness to say -where he found the story in question, as it is certainly not in Ware? I -know of two stories, one of which is probably that to which Mr. Haydn -has called the attention of his readers; but I have never seen them -stated with such clearness, or on such authority, as would lead me to -the conclusion that "there seemed no doubt of their truth." - - JAMES H. TODD. - - Trinity College, Dublin. - -_"Sir Edward Seaward's Narrative," edited by Miss Jane Porter._--I am in -possession of a copy of the above work, presented to my father by the -late amiable authoress, Miss Porter. It is, as you are no doubt aware, a -journal of adventure in the Carribean Sea and its islands, between 1733 -and 1749; but on the publication of the first edition its authenticity -was questioned, and a suggestion made by some of the critics that the -editor was also the author. This, Miss Porter assured me was not the -fact, and that the work is a genuine diary, placed in her hands for -publication by the family, still existing, of the original writer. The -name I think she intimated was not _Seaward_, but she expressed some -hesitation to detail the circumstances of its coming into her -possession. She makes, in a preface to the second edition, an assurance -to the same effect as to the genuineness of the Narrative, and says the -author died _at his seat in Gloucestershire in the year 1774_. - -Can any of your readers throw further light on this story, or inform who -the hero of the Narrative really was? - - W.W.E.T. - - Warwick Square, Belgravia. - -_Clerical Members of Parliament._--In a note in p. 4. of _The Lexington -Papers_, recently published, mention is made of a Mr. Robert Sutton, -who, after having taken deacon's orders, and having accompanied his -relative, Lord Lexington, to Vienna, in the joint capacity of chaplain -and secretary, was, on his recall in 1697, appointed resident minister -at the Imperial Court; was subsequently sent as envoy extraordinary to -the Ottoman Porte; in 1720, succeeded Lord Stair as British minister at -Paris; in 1721, was elected M.P. for Notts; and in 1725, was created -Knight of the Bath. The editor adds this remark: - - "It is well known that holy orders were not at that time - considered any disqualification for civil employments, but I do - not recollect any other instance of a clerical Knight of the - Bath." - -Do you, Mr. Editor, or any of your readers, recollect any other instance -since the Reformation, of a _clerical member of parliament_, before the -celebrated one of Horne Tooke? Were any such instances quoted in the -debates on the bill for excluding clergymen from Parliament? - - CLERICUS. - -_Allens of Rossull._--Can any of you correspondents furnish me with the -arms borne by the Allens of Rossull and Redivales, Lancashire? Of this -family was the celebrated Cardinal Allen. Also the arms borne by the -Pendleburys, another Lancashire family? - - J.C. - -_Number of the Children of Israel._--In Exod. xii. 37. it is stated that -the numbers of the children of Israel constituting the Exodus was -"600,000 men," "besides children." No specific mention is made of -_women_: it will be diminishing the difficulty if the 600,000 are -considered the aggregate of the adults of both sexes. It is said that -the time the Israelites remained in Egypt was 430 years (Ex. xii. 40.). -The number who were located in Egypt was seventy (Gen. xlvi. 27.). I -wish to ascertain from some competent statistician what, under the most -favourable circumstances, would be the increase of seventy people in 430 -years? I am aware that Professor Lee, in his invaluable translation of -the Book of Job, is of opinion that 215 years is the time the Israelites -actually remained in Egypt; and the remainder must be considered the -previous time they were in Canaan. If the Professor's calculation be -adopted, the statistician could easily show the difference at 215 and -430 years. - - AEGROTUS. - -_Computatio Eccles. Anglic._--In Bishop Burnet's "Hist. of the Reform.," -vol. ii. of first folio edition, London, 1679, _Coll. of Records_, b. -ii. p. 100. No. XL. is "An instrument of the speech of the Archbishop of -Canterbury (Chicheley) made to the House of Commons about it," scilicet, -Statute of Provisors. It begins as follows:-- - - "Die Veneris, penultimo mensis Januarii, A.D. _secundum cursum et - computationem Ecclesiae Anglicanae_ millesimo quadringentesimo - _decimo septimo_, indictione sexta, pontificatus.... Martini Papae - quinti anno undecimo." - -Now as Martin V. was chosen Pope by the Council of Constance, November -11, 1417, his eleventh year would extend over January, 1428, and the -sixth indiction answers to the same year, which would, however, be -styled 1427 in ecclesiastical documents till March 25. Can the -Computatio Eccles. Anglic. mean anything more than a reference to the -distinction between the ecclesiastical and historical times of -commencing the year? If it does not, decimo septimo must be an error for -vicesimo septimo, made in transferring the numeral letters into words. -Has this error been corrected in subsequent editions of Burnet? - - H.W. - -_Martinique._--Will any of your correspondents, acquainted with the -history of the French islands, inform me why was the island of -Martinique so called? English writers style the island _Martinico_, but -none have gone so far as to give the derivation or meaning of the word. - - W.J.C. - - St. Lucia. - -_Objective and Subjective._--Will some of your intelligent readers deign -to enlighten a merely physical ignoramus as to the precise meaning -(always supposing there _be_ a meaning) of the oft-recurring words -"objective" and "subjective" ("omjective" and "sumjective," according to -Mr. Carlyle) in the Highgate "talk", supposed by sundry transcendental -sages of our day to be the expression of an almost inspired wisdom. _Is_ -this exoteric jargon _translateable_ into intelligible English? or is it -not (as Chalmers called it, speaking _Scottice_) "all buff?" Most -assuredly he who really understands it (not _affects_ to understand it) -need not, as Southey used to say, be afraid of cracking peach-stones. - - X. - -_Quarter Waggoner._--The master of a ship of war has the charge of -navigating her from port to port, under the direction of the captain; -and he is moreover charged to make what improvements he can in the -charts. Now the masters were sometimes rather slack in the latter -department, in which case they procured certificates from their captains -to the Navy Board, stating that they had seen nothing but what was -already in the general "Quarter Waggoner." - -Can any of your correspondents describe this Quarter Waggoner? And, as -the master keeps the official _log_-book, can you kindly tell me how -that recondite volume came to be so designated? - - W. H. SMYTH. - -_Sir Roger Wilcock._--Can any of your antiquarian readers favour me with -the armorial ensigns of Sir Roger Wilcock, knight, whose daughter and -heiress, Agnes, was wife to Sir Richard Turberville, of Coyty Castle, in -Glamorganshire, and by him mother of two sons, Sir Payn, afterwards Lord -of Coyty, and Wilcock Turberville, who by his wife Maud, heiress of -Tythegstone, in the same county, was ancestor of the Turbervilles of -that place, and of Penlline Castle. - -The lineage of this ancient and knightly family of Turberville is not -given correctly in Burke's _Dictionary of the Landed Gentry_ for the -year 1847. The marriage of Christopher Turberville of Penlline (sheriff -for Glamorgan in 1549 and 1568) with Agnes Gwyn[5], heiress of Ryderwen -in the county of Caermarthen, and widow of Henry Vaughan, Esq., is -altogether omitted in Burke, and for the correctness of which see Lewis -Dwnn's _Heraldic Visitation into Wales and its Marches_, vol. ii. (near -the commencement) title "Ryderwen;" and in vol. i. of the same work, p. -140., title "Ystradcorwg," Catherine, the issue of that marriage, and -one of the daughters and coheiresses of Christopher Turberville, is -mentioned as the wife of David Lloyd of that place, in the parish of -Llanllawddog, co. Caermarthen, sheriff in 1590 and 1601. In further -corroboration of this, we find that the Lloyds of Glanguelly and -Ystradcorwg, descendants of the said marriage, ever afterwards quartered -the arms of Turberville, viz. "chequy or and gu. a fesse ermine," with -their own paternal shield. It is not improbable that the marriage of -Christopher Turberville with the aforementioned Agnes, _kinswoman of the -Rices_, may have had some influence in allaying the deadly animosity -which had previously existed between the rival houses of Dynevor and -Penlline. - - [Footnote 5: According to Lewis Dwnn, this Agnes Gwyn was daughter - and coheiress (by Margaret his wife, daughter of Sir Rhys ab - Thomas, K.G.) of Henry ab John of Ryderwen, son and heir (by - Mabli, or Eva, his wife, daughter and coheiress of Henry ab - Guilym, of Curt Henri and Llanlais, in the vale of Llangathen, - Caermarthenshire) of John ab Henry (otherwise Penry), kinsman to - the aforesaid Sir Rhys ab Thomas, and a branch of the Penrys of - Llanelli, derived from a common origin with the ancient and noble - house of Dynevor.] - -Again, in vol. iv. of Burke's _History of the Commoners_ for the year -1838, Jenkyn Turberville of Tythegstone, fourth in descent from Wilcock -Turberville, is stated to have wedded Florence, daughter of Watkyn ab -Rasser Vaughan, and to have had issue by her two sons, Richard[6], who -continued the line at Tythegstone, and Jenkyn, father of the said -Christopher, of Penlline Castle, Glamorgan. By reference to Lewis Dwnn's -work, edited by the late talented and much lamented antiquary, Sir -Samuel Rush Meyrick, article "Vaughan of Bretwardine, co. Hereford, and -Pembrey Court, Caermarthenshire," we find that Jenkyn Turberville -married Denis, daughter of Watkyn ab Sir Roger Vaughan, knight, with the -following remark in Welsh: "Ag ni bu dim plant o Derbil iddi ag wedi -guraig Morgan ab Jenkyn gur Tre Dineg;" that is to say, "She had no -children by Turberville, and she afterwards became the wife of Morgan ab -Jenkyn,"--I presume, of Tredegar, in Monmouthshire. Is it not, -therefore, likely that he married twice; that his first wife was Cecil -Herbert, and the mother of his two sons? - - [Footnote 6: This gentleman had an ode addressed to him by the - celebrated Welsh bard, Lewis of Glyn Cothi.--Vide Burke's work.] - -A correct lineage of the Turbervilles, with the ensigns they were -entitled to quarter, down to Christopher Turberville's co-heiress -Catherine, the wife of David Lloyd, would greatly oblige. - - W.

Why? - - [Greek: O.] - - [Because of the honour paid to St. Martin in the Western Church, - whose festival had an octave. Formerly it was denominated - Martinalia, and was held with as much festivity as the Vinalia of - the Romans. Among old ecclesiastical writers, it usually obtained - the title of the Second Bacchanal: - - "Altera Martinus dein Bacchanalia praebet; - Quem colit anseribus populus multoque Lyaeo." - - Thomas Naogeorgus, _De Regno Pont_. - - Thus translated by Barnabie Googe: - - "To belly cheare yet once again doth Martin more encline, - Whom all the people worshippeth with rosted geese and wine."] - -_Kissing under the Mistletoe._--What is the origin of kissing under the -mistletoe? - - AN M.D. - - [Why Roger claims the privilege to kiss Margery under the - mistletoe at Christmas, appears to have baffled our antiquaries. - Brand states, that this druidic plant never entered our sacred - edifices but by mistake, and consequently assigns it a place in - the kitchen, where, says he, "it was hung up in great state, with - its white berries; and whatever female chanced to stand under it, - the young man present either had a right, or claimed one, of - saluting her, and of plucking off a berry at each kiss." Nares, - however, makes it rather ominous for the fair sex not to be - saluted under the famed _Viscum album_. He says, "The custom - longest preserved was the handing up of a bush of mistletoe in the - kitchen, or servants' hall, with the charm attached to it, that - the maid who was not kissed under it at Christmas, would not be - married in that year."] - -_Trinity Chapel, Knightsbridge._--Was Trinity Chapel, Knightsbridge, -which has been rebuilt several times, ever parochial? Can I be referred -to any memoir of the Rev. ---- Gamble, Chaplain to H. R. H. the Duke of -York, who in the early part of the present century was minister of it? - - H. G. D. - - [The chapel, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, belonged originally to - an ancient hospital, or lazar-house, under the patronage of the - abbot and convent of Westminster. It was rebuilt in 1629, at the - cost of the inhabitants, by a license from Dr. Laud, then Bishop - of London, as a chapel of ease to St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, - within the precincts of which parish it was situated; but the site - was subsequently assigned to the parish of St. George, Hanover - Square, and at present forms a part of that of Kensington. The - Rev. J. Gamble was minister of this chapel in 1794-5; in 1796 he - was appointed chaplain of the forces, and in 1799 rector of - Alphamstone, and also of Bradwell-juxta-Mare, in Essex. In 1805 he - was married to Miss Lathom of Madras, by whom he had a son. His - death took place at Knightsbridge, July 27, 1811.] - -"_Please the Pigs._"--Whence have we this very _free_ translation of Deo -Volente? - - PORCUS. - - [This colloquial phrase is generally supposed to be a corruption - of "Please the _Pyx_," a vessel in which the Host is kept.

I need not -say that the word in the singular number is the name of a shell-fish. - - PISCATOR. - - [Phillips, in his _World of Words_, tells us that "among farriers, - _barnacles_, _horse-twitchers_, or _brakes_, are tools put on the - nostrils of horses when they will not stand still to be shoed," - &c.; and the figure of the barnacle borne in heraldry (not - barnacle goose, which is a distinct bearing), as engraved in - Parker's _Glossary of Heraldry_, sufficiently shows why the term - has been transferred to spectacles, which it must be remembered - were formerly only kept on by the manner in which they clipped the - nose.] - -_The Game of Curling._--As an enthusiastic lover of curling, I have been -trying for some time past to discover any traces of the origin of the -game, and the earliest mention made of it: but, I am sorry to say, -without success. - -I should therefore feel much obliged to any of your correspondents who -could inform me concerning the origin of this game, and also any works -which may treat of it. - - "JOHN FROST." - - Paisley. - - [Appended to Dr. Brewster's account of curling, quoted in the - _Encyclopaedia Metropolitana_, vol. xvii. p. 469., occurs the - following historical notice of this winter amusement:--"Curling is - a comparatively modern amusement in Scotland, and does not appear - to have been introduced till the beginning of the sixteenth - century, when it probably was brought over by the emigrant - Flemings. It was originally known under the name of _kuting_, - which perhaps is a corruption of the Teutonic _kleuyten_, - _kalluyten_, rendered by Kilian in his _Dictionary_, _ludere - massis sive globulis glaciatis, certare discis in aequore - glaciata_. In Canada it has become a favourite amusement, on - account of the great length of the winters."] - - - - -Replies. - - -SAINT IRENE AND THE ISLAND OF SANTORIN. - -(Vol. iv., p. 475.) - -Your correspondent [Greek: S] asks for information about St. Irene or -St. Erini, from whom he thinks the Island of Santorin in the Grecian -Archipelago acquired its name; and in reply, you have referred him to -Smith's _Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography_, for particulars of -the canonized Empress Irene. - -But [Greek: S] is, I suspect, mistaken in supposing Santorin to be -indebted either to saint or empress for its present appellation; -although he errs in company with Tournefort and a succession of later -geographical etymologists, who in this instance have trusted too much -to their _ear_ as an authority. Another correspondent in the same -number, F. W. S. (p. 470.), has directed attention to a peculiarity -in the formation of the modern names of places in Greece, the theory -of which will guide [Greek: S] to the real derivation of the word -Santorin. F. W. S. states truly that many of the recent names have been -constructed by prefixing the preposition [Greek: eis] to the ancient -one; thus ATHENS, [Greek: eis tas Athenas], became _Satines_, and COS, -[Greek: eis ten Kon], _Stanco_. Lord Byron has explained this origin -of the alteration in one of the notes to _Childe Harold_, I think; but -I apprehend that the barbarism is to be charged less upon the modern -Greeks themselves, than upon the European races, Sclavonians, Normans, -and Venetians, and later still the Turks, who seized upon their country -on the dismemberment of the Lower Empire. The Greeks themselves no doubt -continued to spell their proper names correctly; but their invaders, -ignorant of their orthography, and even of their letters, were forced -to write the names of places in characters of their own, and guided -solely by the sound. _Negropont_, the modern name of Euboea, is -a notable instance of this. In the desolation which followed the Roman -conquest, Euboea, as described by Pausanias and Dion, had become almost -deserted, and, on its partial revival under the Eastern Empire, the old -name of Euboea was abandoned, and the whole island took the name of -Euripus, from a new town built on the shore of that remarkable strait. -This, pronounced by the Greeks, Evripos, the Venetians, on their arrival -in the thirteenth century, first changed into Egripo and _Negripo_, and -next into Negro-_ponte_, after they had built a bridge across the -Euripus. This last name, the island retains to the present time. Another -familiar example is the modern name of Byzantium, _Stamboul_, by which -both Greeks and Turks now speak of Constantinople. The Romans called -their capital par excellence "the city" (in which, by the way, we -ourselves imitate them when speaking of London). Among the ancient Jews, -in like manner, to "go to the city," [Greek: hypagete eis ten polin], -meant to go to Jerusalem (Matt., xxvi. 18., xxviii. 11.; Mark, xiv. 13.; -Luke, xxii. 10.; John, iv. 18.; Acts, ix. 16.). The Greeks of the Lower -Empire followed the example in speaking of Constantinople; and the -Turks, on their conquest in the fifteenth century, adopting the -provincialism, wrote [Greek: eis ten polin], _Istampoli_, and thence -followed Istambol and Stamboul. The same theory will explain the modern -word Santorin, about which your correspondent [Greek: S] requests -information. The ancient name was _Thera_, and by this the island is -described both by Herodotus and Strabo, and later still by Pliny. -_Thera_, submitted to the usual process, became, from [Greek: eis ten -Theran], _Stantheran_, _Santeran_, and finally _Santorin_. In the -latter form it almost invited a saintly pedigree, and accordingly -"Richard," a Jesuit, whose work I have seen, but cannot now consult, -wrote, about two centuries ago, his _Relation de l'Isle de St. Erini_, -in which, for the glory of the Church, he explains that the island -obtained its name, not from the Empress Irene, but from a Saint Erine, -whom he describes as the daughter of a Macedonian prefect, and from -whom he says it was called [Greek: Nesos tes Hagias Eirenes]. I incline, -however, to etymology rather than hagiology for the real derivation. - - J. EMERSON TENNENT. - - -THE OLD COUNTESS OF DESMOND--WHO WAS SHE? NO. II. - -(Vol. iv., pp. 305. 426.) - -My "NOTES AND QUERIES" coming to me monthly, I am as yet in ignorance -whether any of your numerous correspondents have answered my inquiry -(Vol. iv., p. 306.): "Whether the portraits of 'the old Countess of -Desmond,' at Knowle, Bedgebury, or Penshurst, correspond with my -description of that in the possession of the Knight of Kerry?" I have -since met a painter of eminence, who assures me that Horace Walpole's -criticism is correct, and that the portraits commonly known as those of -the Countess are really the likeness of "Rembrandt's mother." If they be -identified with that I have described, the idea that we possess a -"counterfeit presentment" of this ancient lady, must, I fear, be given -up as a delusion. - -But the lady herself remains a "great fact," and a physiological -curiosity; and there is yet a subject for inquiry respecting her. We may -identify her on the herald's tree, if not on the painter's board or -canvas. _Who was she?_ In attempting to discuss this question, I must -not take a merit which does not belong to me in any thing. I may say I -am but following out the original research of an accurate and -accomplished antiquary, Mr. Samthell of Cork, of whose curious _Olla -Podrida_ (privately printed) I possess, by his favour, a copy, which -contains a paper on this subject originally read before "The Cork -Cuvierian Society." This paper, together with some MSS. notes of Sir -William Betham, Ulster king-at-arms, furnish my text-book; and I have -little more to do than correct some mistakes, which appear to me so -obvious, that I think they must arise from slips of the pen, or _slops_ -of that most teasing confounder of dates and figures, _the -printer_,--who can so often, by merely dipping into a wrong cell of -type, set us wrong by a century or two in a calculation. - -All authorities are agreed in fixing on "Margret O'Bryen, wife of James, -9th Earl of Desmond," as the long-lived individual in question. Sir -Walter Raleigh, by calling her "The old Countess of Desmond, of -_Inchiquin_," determines the fact of her being of the O'Bryen -race,--Inchiquin being the feudal territory of the O'Bryens. There was -more than one intermarriage between the Desmond earls and the O'Bryen -family; but none of them include all the conditions for identifying the -"old Countess," except that I have specified. - -We now come to _dates_: and here it is that I have the presumption to -question the conclusions of the two eminent antiquaries on whose -researches I am remarking. - -"James Fitzgerald, ninth Earl of Desmond, was murdered by John Montagh -Fitzgerald, of Clenglish, A.D. 1467, aetat 29," says one of my -authorities. "The old Countess bore the title only for a few months, for -she became dowager on the murder of her husband in 1467 (_not_ 1487)," -adds my second authority. These are formidable _dicta_, coming from such -sources; and if I venture to question them, it is only under pressure of -such circumstances and authorities, as at least demand a hearing. - -I think both these gentlemen confound the _murder_ of James, the ninth -Earl of Desmond, with the _execution_ of his father, Thomas, the eighth -Earl, who, according to all annals and authorities, was beheaded at -Drogheda in the year 1467. Of this fact there can be no question. Ware -gives it in his _Annals_, stating that "John Tiptoft, Earl of Worcester, -called a parliament at Drogheda, and passed a certain enactment, in -virtue of which "the great Earl of Desmond was beheaded, 15th of -February, 1467." We find the very act itself (in the _Cotton MSS. -Titus_, B. xi. 373.) headed and running as follows:--"VII. Edw. Quarti" -(1467). "Pur diverses causes, horribles treisons et felonies prepensez, -et faitez per _Thomas_ Count de Desmond, et Thomas Count de Kildar," &c. -&c. - -We now proceed with _Ware_ to the date 1487, and he writes thus:--"On -the 7th of December, James Fitz-Thomas, a Geraldine, and Earl of -Desmond, who, for almost twenty-_eight_ (?) years flourished in wealth -and power, was suddenly and cruelly murdered by his servants in his -house at Rathkeale in the county of Limerick." "This James dying without -issue, at least issue male, his brother Morrish succeeded him; by whom, -_John Mantagh_, the chief contriver of that murder, was soon after taken -and slain." Here is a distinct statement from an annalist which may be -contradicted by facts, but cannot be misunderstood as to meaning. - -The more I look at Mr. Samthell's account, the more I am disposed to -consider the date he gives as a slip of the pen, or the result of that -kind of confusion into which the most accurate mind will sometimes fall, -from _too long_ and _intense_ consideration of the same point. I say -this, because his own statements furnish at every step matter to confute -his own conclusions: thus, he says, "Supposing the old Countess to have -been _eighteen_ at her husband's death (and the Irish marry young), she -would have been 140 years old in 1589." This calculation plainly -_assumes_ the death to have taken place in 1467; but in a passage -further on he says, "It will be remembered, that Thomas, _eighth_ Earl -of Desmond, _father to Margret O'Bryen's husband_, was Lord Deputy of -Ireland for the Duke Clarence, brother to Edw. IV., from 1462 to 1467!" -And again, giving some brief notices of the earls from "A Pedigree of -Sir William Betham's," he sets down, "8th earl, Thomas, beheaded A.D. -1467; 9th earl, James (son of Thomas), murdered A.D. 1467;"--overlooking -the fact, which would have been in itself _memorable_, that he makes the -beheading of the father, and the murder of the son, to have taken place -in the same year! Although I cannot ascertain whence Mr. Pelham took the -dates which he has given in his print, I have no hesitation in adopting -them, as agreeing best with all the probable circumstances of the case; -he places Margret O'Bryen's birth in 1464, her death _somewhere_ from -1620 to 1626; this would sufficiently tally with the opinion, that she -was left a young widow at her husband's death in 1487, and agree with -Sir Walter Raleigh's statement, that she "was living in 1589," and -"_many years afterwards_." Lord Bacon's express words are, "_Certainly -they report that within these few years_ the Countess of Desmond lived -to an hundred and forty years of age." These words occur in his _History -of Life and Death_, published in 1623, and add to the probability that -the old lady was either lately dead, or that possibly, in the little -intercourse between London and remote parts of the empire at that -period, she might be _even then_ alive, without his knowledge. - -I submit these speculations to correction; and in venturing to dispute -the conclusions of the authorities I have named, I feel myself somewhat -in the position of a dwarf, who, climbing on the shoulder of a giant, -should assume the airs of a tall man; but for the encouragement and -assistance of the gentlemen I have named, I should probably never have -known how even to state a genealogical or antiquarian question. I shall -conclude by committing myself to your printer's mercy, trusting that he -will be too magnanimous to take notice of my remarks on the "slip-slop" -printing of figures, which will sometimes occur in the best offices; if -he should misprint my figures, all my facts will fall to the ground. - - A.

This my cosen Walter Fitzwilliam told me. This olde - lady, Mr. Harnet told me, came to petition the Queen, and landing - at Bristol, shee came on foote to London, being then soe olde that - her doughter was decrepit, and not able to come with her, but was - brought in a little cart, their poverty not allowing them better - provision of meanes. As I remember, Sir Walter Rowleigh, in some - part of his _History_, speakes of her, and says that he saw her in - England, anno 1589.

In the church of St. -Stephen's, near Canterbury, is the monument of Sir Roger Manwood, who -died Lord Chief Baron on December 14, 1592, on which his bust appears in -full judicial robes (colored proper), over which he wears the collar in -its modern form. - - EDWARD FOSS. - -Was the collar of SS. worn by persons under a vow to make a pilgrimage -to the Holy Land, or to join a crusade, the S. being the initial letter -of Sepulcre, or SS. for Saint Sepulcre? The appearance of the -above-mentioned collar on the effigy of a person in the habit of a -pilgrim in the church of Ashby-de-la-Zouch (see "NOTES AND QUERIES," -Vol. iv., p. 345.), so strongly confirms the idea, that I beg leave to -offer it to the consideration of any readers of the "NOTES AND QUERIES" -who may be interested in the question. - - E.

Wootton; the oldest, by J. Faber, -describes him as "Royal Studkeeper at Newmarket;" the other, dated 1791, -by J. Jones, styles him "the Father of the Turf;" and his death in 1728, -aet. eighty-six, is recorded on a monument in the parish church of All -Saints, Newmarket, as well as the circumstance of his having been keeper -of the running horses to King William III. and his three royal -successors. - -Frampton, according to Noble, who quotes from some other author, was a -thorough good groom only, yet would have made a good minister of state -had he been trained to it, and no one in his day was so well acquainted -with the pedigrees of race-horses. I am not aware of there being any -reference to Tregonwell Frampton in the _Rambler_, but he has frequently -been denounced as the author of an unparalleled act of barbarity to a -race-horse, which is detailed in the _Adventurer_, No. 37., as -delicately as such a subject would permit. In justice to the accused I -must say, that I always considered the story as physically impossible; -and had this not been the case, it cannot be credited that the author -of so great an enormity could have been continued in the service of the -Crown. Still the essayist, who wrote nearly a century ago, thus closes -his recital:-- - - "When I had heard this horrid narrative, _which indeed I - remembered to be true_, I turned about in honest confusion, and - blushed that I was a man." - -I hope some of your correspondents may be able to clear Frampton from -the dreadful imputation. - - B. - -_Longueville MSS._ (Vol. iii., p. 449.).--This collection (of 187 -volumes) is better known by the name of the _Yelverton MSS._, from -having belonged to Sir Christopher Yelverton, Bart., who died in 1654, -and whose son Henry (by Susan, Baroness Grey of Ruthin) was created -Viscount Longueville in 1690. From him (who died in 1704) these MSS. -descended to his grandson, Henry, third Earl of Sussex, who deceased in -1799 without male issue. In April, 1781, this collection of MSS. (then -stated to consist of 179 volumes, and eight wanting to complete the -series) was offered for purchase to the trustees of the British Museum -for 3000 guineas, and declined. The loss of these eight volumes is -accounted for by a note of Gough (written in 1788), in Nichols' -_Literary Anecdotes_, vol. iii. p. 622., by which it appears, that in -1784 the collection was submitted to sale by public auction; but "_after -the sale of a few lots_, the sale was stopped." Gough adds, "They were -all given by Lord Sussex to Lord Calthorpe, whose mother was of that -family [Barbara, eldest daughter of Henry, Viscount Longueville], and at -his death had not been opened, nor perhaps since." These MSS. are now, I -believe, in the possession of the present Lord Calthorpe. - - F.

This -slight recollection of having seen it, is almost too vague to be worth -alluding to, but as no one appears to have replied to the inquiry, it -may lead to connecting the true history to the miniature, and thereby -enhance its value. - - R.N. - -_Pope and Flatman_ (Vol. iv., p. 505.).--Your readers will probably be -tired of the subject, still MR. BREEN may like to know that the -resembling passages in the two copies in question, are quoted with the -names of the authors in the sixty-third number of _The Adventurer_, -dated _June 12, 1753_, and Pope is directly accused of _having copied -from one of the vilest Pindaric writers, in the time of Charles II._ - -The same paper, and a subsequent one, No. 95., contain some excellent -remarks upon the allegation of resemblance between authors, and the -charge of plagiarism so frequently raised upon it, but not always to be -allowed with equal readiness. - -In conclusion, let me express a wish, that the essays which I have -pointed out could be perused by some of your correspondents, because I -am convinced that we should in future have fewer discussions on parallel -passages, which seldom possess much real interest, and frequently have a -tendency to injure the fair fame of our most gifted writers, by calling -in question their literary honesty without establishing the charge -brought against them. - - B. - -_Voltaire_ (Vol. iv., p. 457.).--Your correspondent J.

Lepan's work, who has adduced them to show "son -_mepris_ pour son nom de famille." _Vie de Voltaire_, p. 11. edit. 1817. - - JAMES CORNISH. - - [Footnote 7: This was a misprint for "_so little partial_."--ED.] - -_Tudur Aled_ (Vol. iv., p. 384.).--Your correspondent A STUDENT will -find _nine_ poems by Tudur Aled, including the famous description of the -Horse, in a 4to. collection of ancient Kymric poetry, published at -Amwythig, in 1773, by Rhys Jones. It is entitled _Gorchestion Beirdd -Cymrit_. Should A STUDENT wish to extend his acquaintance with this old -bard, he will find other poems of his among the Welsh MSS. in the -British Museum, in vols. 14,866. _et seq._ - - T. S. - -_Latin Verse on Franklin_ (Vol. iv., p. 443.).--The verse "Eripuit -coelo," &c., seems to be a parody of the following lines of Manilius -(_Astronom._ I. 105.):-- - - "Eripuitque Jovi fulmen, viresque tonanti." - -I am unable, however, to say who adapted these words to Franklin's -career. Was it Condorcet? - - R.D.H. - -The inscription-- - - "Eripuit coelo fulmen, sceptrumque tyrannis" - -under Franklin's portrait, was written by Mirabeau. - - JAMES CORNISH. - - - - -Miscellaneous. - - -NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. - -When Mr. Wilkin, in the year 1836, gave to the world an edition of the -works of his illustrious townsman, Sir Thomas Browne, the critics were -unanimous in their praise both of the undertaking and of the manner in -which the editor had executed his task. It was felt that the writings of -so great a man--of one on whose style Johnson is supposed to have formed -his own--and whose _Religio Medici_ he eulogized for "the novelty of the -paradoxes, the dignity of sentiment, the quick succession of images, the -multitude of abstruse allusions, the subtlety of disquisition, and the -strength of language" to be found in it, ought to be made better known; -and Mr. Wilkin's endeavour to make them so was lauded as it deserved. -That attempt, however, was but feeble compared with the one now making -by Mr. Bohn, who has undertaken to reproduce Mr. Wilkin's excellent -edition of _The Works of Sir Thomas Browne_ in his _Antiquarian -Library_. The first volume, containing Four Books of his _Enquiries into -Common and Vulgar Errors_, has been issued; and, we need scarcely add, -forms one which is not surpassed for learning, interest, or -instructions, by any other in the very cheap and useful series to which -it belongs. - -One of the most popular branches of botanical study at the present day -is that of our British Ferns, from the very obvious causes--that they -are objects of exquisite elegance--not very numerous, nor difficult to -be procured--and, lastly, which may well account for their popularity -with the dwellers in towns, who yet love to "babble of green fields" and -be reminded of them--they are for the most part easily cultivated, and -of all others are perhaps best adapted to parlour or window culture. Who -then can doubt that, in preparing _A Popular History of the British -Ferns and the allied Plants, comprising the Club-Mosses, Pepperworts, -and Horse Tails_ (with its fifty admirable coloured representations of -the most interesting species), Mr. Moore has done good service to the -numerous fern growers already existing, and much to promote the further -study of this highly interesting division of the vegetable world. -Messrs. Reeve and Benham deserve great credit for the way in which they -have seconded Mr. Moore's efforts, by the admirable manner in which the -book has been got up. - -BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Traveller's Library_, Part 13., containing two -more of Mr. Macaulay's brilliant Essays, namely, those _On the Life and -Writings of Addison, and on Horace Walpole_.--_Travels in Tartary, -Thibet, and China during the Years 1844, '45, and '46_, by M. Huc: -_translated from the French_, by W. Hazlitt. Vol. 1.--_Pictures of -Travels in the South of France_, by Alexandre Dumas. These are two new -volumes of the _National Illustrated Library_, and very interesting -ones. The value of M. Huc's Travels in China may be judged of from the -fact, that Sir John Davis having received some notes of them, considered -them so interesting that he thought it right to embody them in a -despatch to Lord Palmerston.--_The Mother's Legacie to her Unborne -Childe._ By Elizabeth Joceline. _Reprinted from the Edition of 1625, -with Biographical and Historical Introduction._ We may content ourselves -with acknowledging the receipt of this handsome reprint, by the Messrs. -Blackwood, as it forms the subject of a communication from the -correspondent who first drew attention to this interesting volume in N. -& Q., which we hope to print next week.--_Archaeologia Cambrensis for -January, 1852._ This is an excellent number; and if this record of the -antiquities of Wales and its Marches does not meet with the support not -only of the antiquaries, but also of the gentry of the principality, it -will be a national reproach to them. - - -BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES - -WANTED TO PURCHASE. - -A SERMON preached at Fulham in 1810 by the REV.

By E.

This geographical basis - leads the way to a thorough revision of early Hellenic history, - whereby the Cyclopes, Autochthous, Erectheus, Cecrops, Corybantes, - Cabeiri, and a long list of Mythologic agents, are at once placed - in the category of history. - - This work, equally adapted to the general reader and the scholar, - corroborates in the most interesting way, the scriptural accounts - of the Hebrew settlements of the Children of Israel in Palestine, - and demonstrates their wars with the Tartar and Rajpoot tribes of - that country. - - JOHN J.
