In Mr. Croker's last edition of _Boswell_ there is a long -note (see Edit. 1848, p. 818.) on the claim of Theophilus Cibber to the -authorship of the _Lives_, or a participation in it: but though he -remarks that the plan on which these _Lives_ are written is -substantially the same as that which Johnson long after adopted in his -own work, his attention does not seem to have been directed to the -prospectus of Cibber's _Lives_. As, however, this prospectus was not -adopted as a preface to the work, but merely appeared in the newspapers -and periodicals of the day, it is the less surprising that it has -hitherto remained unnoticed. The internal evidence is decisive; and, as -it has never, that I am aware of, been reprinted, and is of great -interest in connexion with Johnson's own _Lives of the Poets_, of which -admirable work it may be considered to have "cast the shadows before," -at the distance of nearly thirty years, I trust, though rather long, it -may claim insertion in "N. & Q." It is extracted from a London newspaper -of the 20th February, 1753. - - JAMES CROSSLEY. - - "This Day [20th Feb. 1753] is published, - - "In Twelves (Price Six pence), - - "NUMBER III. of - - "The LIVES of the POETS, of Great-Britain and Ireland, to the - present Time. - - "Compiled from ample Materials scattered in a Variety of Books, - and especially from the MS.

All Countries have been diligent in preserving the - Memoirs of those who have, either by their Actions or Writings, - drawn the Attention of the World upon them: it is a Tribute due to - the illustrious Dead; and has a Tendency to awaken, in the Minds - of the Living, the laudable Principle of Emulation. As there is no - Reading at once so entertaining and instructive, as that of - Biography, so none ought to have the Preference to it: It yields - the most striking Pictures of Life, and shews us the many - Vicissitudes to which we are exposed in the Course of that - important Journey. It has happened that the Lives of the Literati - have been less attended to than those of Men of Action, whether in - the Field or Senate; possibly because Accounts of them are more - difficult to be attained, as they move in a retired Sphere, and - may therefore be thought incapable of exciting so much Curiosity, - or affecting the Mind with equal Force; but certain it is, that - familiar Life, the Knowledge of which is of the highest - Importance, might often be strikingly exhibited, were its various - Scenes but sufficiently known, and properly illustrated. Of this, - the most affecting Instances will be found in the Lives of the - Poets, whose Indigence has so often subjected them to experience - Variety of Fortune, and whose Parts and Genius have been so much - concerned in furnishing Entertainment to the Public. As the Poets - generally converse more at large, than other men, their Lives must - naturally be productive of such Incidents as cannot but please - those who deem the Study of Human Nature, and Lessons of Life, the - most important. - - "The Lives of the Poets have been less perfectly given to the - World, than the Figure they have made in it, and the Share they - have in our Admiration, naturally demand. The Dramatic Authors - indeed have had some Writers who have transmitted Accounts of - their works to Posterity: Of these Langbain is by far the most - considerable. He was a Man of extensive Reading, and has taken a - great deal of Pains to trace the Sources from which our Poets have - derived their Plots; he has given a Catalogue of their Plays, and, - as far as his Reading served him, very accurately: He has much - improved upon Winstanley and Philips, and his Account of the Poets - is certainly the best now extant. Jacob's Performance is a most - contemptible one; he has given himself no Trouble to gain - Intelligence, and has scarcely transcribed Langbain with Accuracy. - Mrs. Cooper, Author of _The Muses Library_, has been industrious - in collecting the Works and some Memoirs of the Poets who preceded - Spenser: But her Plan did not admit of enlarging, and she has - furnished but little Intelligence concerning them. - - "The general Error into which Langbain, Mrs. Cooper, and all the - other Biographers have fallen, is this: They have considered the - Poets merely as such, without tracing their Connexions in civil - Life, the various Circumstances they have been in, their - Patronage, their Employments, and in short, the Figure they made - as Members of the Community; which Omission has rendered their - Accounts less interesting; and while they have shewn us the Poet, - they have quite neglected the Man. Many of the Poets, besides - their Excellency in that Profession, were held in Esteem by Men in - Power, and filled civil Employments with Honour and Reputation; - various Particulars of their Lives are to be found in the Annals - of the Age in which they lived, and which were connected with - those of their Patron. - - "But these Particulars lie scattered in a Variety of Books, and - the collecting them together and properly arranging them, is as - yet unattempted, and is no easy task to accomplish. This however, - we have endeavoured to do, and if we are able to execute our Plan, - their Lives will prove entertaining, and many Articles of - Intelligence, omitted by others, will be brought to Light. Another - Advantage we imagine our Plan has over those who have gone before - us in the same Attempt is, that we have not confined ourselves to - Dramatic Writers only, but have taken in all who have had any Name - as Poets, of whatsoever Class: and have besides given some Account - of their other Writings: So that if they had any Excellence - independant of Poetry, it will appear in full View to the Reader. - We have likewise considered the Poets, not as they rise - Alphabetically, but Chronologically, from Chaucer, the Morning - Star of English Poetry, to the present Times: And we promise in - the Course of this work, to make short Quotations by Way of - Specimen from every Author, so that the Readers will be able to - discern the Progress of Poetry from its Origin in Chaucer to its - Consummation in Dryden. He will discover the gradual Improvements - made in Versification, its Rise and Fall; and in a Word, the - compleat History of Poetry will appear before him. In the Reign of - Queen Elizabeth for Instance, Numbers and Harmony were carried to - a great Perfection by the Earl of Surry, Spenser, and Fairfax; in - the Reign of James and Charles the First, they grew harsher; at - the Restoration, when Taste end Politeness began again to revive, - Waller restored them to the Smoothness they had lost: Dryden - reached the highest Excellence of Numbers, and compleated the - Power of Poetry. - - "In the Course of this Work we shall be particular in quoting - Authorities for every Fact advanced, as it is fit the Reader - should not be left at an Uncertainty; and where we find judicious - Criticisms on the Works of our Authors, we shall take care to - insert them, and shall seldom give our Opinion in the Decision of - what Degree of Merit is due to them. We may venture, however, in - order to enliven the Narration as much as possible, sometimes to - throw in a Reflection, and in Facts that are disputed, to sum up - the Evidence on both Sides. But though the Poets were often - involved in Parties, and engaged in the vicissitudes of State, we - shall endeavour to illustrate their Conduct, without any satirical - Remarks, or favourable Colouring; never detracting from the Merit - of one, or raising the Reputation of another, on Account of - political Principles." - - -JOB: HEBREW ['Aiub'] : ARABIC ['Aiub'] : CUNEIFORM 'AIUB.' - - "This celebrated Patriarch has been represented by some sacred - writers as imaginary, and his book as a fictitious dramatic - composition."--_Dr. Hales:_ _See_ D'Oyly and Mant's _Bible_. - -But Hales goes on to prove from the sacred writings that Job was a -_real_ character, and that his history is entitled to credit. That such -a person as Job _was_ a real character, and that he lived about the time -asserted of him, I am about to give a very remarkable proof, quite -independent of Scripture testimony. - -In Kaempfer's _Amoenitates Exoticae_, there is a plate describing two -processions, one after the other: of the first but little mention is -made; of the second, the place from which the procession set out is not -mentioned, but the place of its final destination is Persepolis. It is -separated, in Kaempfer, from the interpretation thereof, by a few leaves; -but as I have not his _Exoticae_ by me, I cannot give an exact reference -as to pages; it will, however, be easily found, since the inscription -contains twenty-four lines, and the plate, I think, precedes it. It is -called "Inscriptio Persepolitana," and is evidently among the _most -ancient_ of Cuneiform inscriptions. As neither the inscription, nor the -word I am about to point out, could probably be inserted in the "N. & -Q.," I must be content to describe the word in the clearest manner -possible. - -The lines, if I mistake not, measure about 5-3/4 inches in length, and at -about 1-1/4 inches from the beginning of the _second_ line (beginning at -the left hand, and measuring towards the right) is a word compounded of -four letters (five wedges), and reading _a i u b_. Take a wedge and form -them thus,--_sharp_ point to the _right_, near the top of the group, is -_a_; sharp point _downwards_ is _i_; sharp point to the left is _u_; the -two under wedges _joined_, viz. sharp point to the blunt part of the -second, is _b_. - -It is remarkable that the Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian-Cuneiform should -have precisely the same letters for the name of Job. It may lead to some -conclusion with which I shall not meddle. See again D'Oyly and Mant, and -the comment of Bishop Sanderson in ch. i. v. 3., "and not improbably he -was a _king_." - -Refer again to the plate, and behold him in _two_ places, _i.e._ in both -processions, _crowned_. And now examine the word following, _Aiub_; it -is compounded of four letters, _easily_ distinguishable. The first is a -T, scil. the Coptic [Coptic: T], the mystic cross, as may be shown in -the Chinese language; the second is _a_, compounded of the horizontal -wedge and the following perpendicular one; the third, or perpendicular -line, is _i_; and the last two, one under the other, is _j_, or the -Persian [Persian: i] or [Persian: j], _j_; making altogether [Persian: -taij] _taij_, _being crowned_. These two words, therefore, represent the -patriarch as being a king, "Aiub taij," "Job crowned." - - T. R. BROWNE. - - Southwick, near Oundle. - - -A NEW ZEALAND LEGEND. - -The following legend was related to me by a gentleman when discoursing -upon the customs of the New Zealanders. It is their account of the -origin of their land, and illustrates the absurdities which they -believe. - -"Old Morm (Query, rightly spelt) was a great fisherman, and being at one -time in want of fish-hooks, he quietly killed his two sons, and took -their jaw bones for hooks. As a requital to them for the loss of their -lives, he made the right eye of his eldest son the morning star, and the -right eye of his youngest son the evening star. One day he was sitting -on a rock fishing with one of the jawbones, when he hooked something -extraordinarily heavy,--whales were nothing to _him_. However, this -resisted all his endeavours, and at length he was obliged to resort to -other means to land this monster. He caught a dove, and tying the line -to its leg, he filled it with his spirit, and commanded it to fly -upwards. It did so, and without the least difficulty raised New Zealand! -Old Morm looked at this prodigy with wonder, but thinking it very pretty -he stepped ashore, where he saw men and fire. The first thing he did was -to burn his fingers, and then to cool them he jumped into the sea; when -the sulphur which arose from him was so great, that the Sulphur Island -was formed. After this things went on smoothly, till the New Zealanders -began to get refractory, and so offended the sun, that his majesty -refused to shine. So old Morm got up one day early and chased after the -sun, but it was not till after three days' hard hunting he managed to -catch him. A good deal of parleying then took place, and at last the sun -consented to shine for half the day only. Old Morm, to remedy this evil, -immediately made the moon, and tied it by a string to the sun, so that -when one went down it pulled the other up." - -I did not hear on what authority this was given, but I dare say some of -your learned correspondents may have met with it, and will be kind -enough to give it, and say whether this fable was believed by _all_ the -tribes of New Zealand. - - UNICORN. - - -Minor Notes. - -_A Dutch Commentary on Pope._-- - - "As what a Dutchman plumps into the lakes, - One circle first, and then a second makes." - - _Dunciad_, b. ii. 400. - - "It may be asked," said Bilderdyk in a note to his imitation of - the _Essay on Man_[1], "why the little stone is thrown into the - water by a Dutchman in particular. The reason is, that the Dutch - sailors when lying idle in the Thames, often amuse themselves in - calm weather by throwing little stones along the surface of the - water, so as to make ducks and drakes, as it is called. This - practice the English look at with great astonishment, and wonder - at a use of the hands so different from that which they make of - their own in boxing." - - [Footnote 1: De Mensch. Pope's _Essay on Man_ gevolgd door Mr. W. - Bilderdyk. Amsterd. 1808.] - -Bilderdyk speaks contemptuously of Pope: yet it may be surmised, from -the above commentary, that he was but ill qualified to criticise him, -otherwise he would not have supposed that "plump" could have the -remotest allusion to the light skimming amusement of "ducks and drakes;" -not to mention that he would have suspected that it was no "steentje" -that plumped into the lakes. - -_Satirical Verses on the Chancellor Clarendon's Downfall._--In MS. Add. -4968., British Museum, a duodecimo volume containing a collection of -arms and achievements tricked by a painter-stainer in the reign of -Charles II., at fol. 62'o. is the following poem "On the Chancellor's -Downfall," which, if not already printed, may be worth preserving:-- - - Pride, lust, ambitions, and the kingdom's hate, - The Nation's broker, ruin of the State: - Dunkirke's sad loss, divider of the fleet, - Tangier's compounder for a barren sheet; - The Shrub of Gentry married to the Crowne, - And's daughter to the heir, is tumbled downe. - The grand contemner of the Nobles lies - Groveling in dust, as a just sacrifice, - T'appease the injured King, abused Nation,-- - Who could beleeve this suddaine alteration! - God is revenged to, for stones he tooke - From aged Paules to build a house forth' Rooke. - Goe on, great Prince, thy People doe rejoyce, - Meethinks I heare the Nation's totall voyce - Applauding this day's action to bee such, - As rosting Rump, or beating of the Dutch. - More cormorants of State as well as hee, - Wee shortly hope in the same plight to see. - Looke now upon thy withered Cavaliers, - Who for reward hath nothing had but teres. - Thankes to this Wiltshire hogge, son of ye spittle, - Had they beene lookt on, hee had had but little. - Breake up the coffers of this hording theefe, - There monies will be found for there reliefe. - I've said enough of lynsey woolsey hide, - His sacriledge, ambition, lust, and pride. - - [Greek: m.] - -_Execution of Charles I._--In a letter which is preserved in the State -Paper Office, addressed to Secretary Bennet, by Lord Ormonde and the -Council of Ireland, and dated the 29th of April, 1663, their Lordships -request the Secretary to move his Majesty that "Henry Porter, then known -as Martial General Porter, standing charged as being the person by whose -hand the head of our late Sovereign King Charles the First, of blessed -memory, was cutt off, and now two years imprisoned in Dublin, should be -brought to trial in England." - - J. F. F. - - Dublin. - -_Born within the Sound of Bow Bell._--In his edition of Stow's _Survey -of London_, Mr. Thoms appends the subjoined note to the account which is -given of Bow Church and its bells:-- - - "From the absence of every allusion on the part of Stow to the - common definition of a cockney, _a person born within the sound of - Bow Bells_, the saying would appear to be of somewhat more recent - date." - -Stow's work was first published in 1598, and the author died in 1605. -Fuller, author of the _Worthies of England_, was born in 1608: and it -would seem that during his lifetime the definition of a cockney was -well-known; for thus does Fuller speak:-- - - "[He was born within the sound of _Bow Bell_.] This is the - periphrasis of a Londoner at large, born within the suburbs - thereof; the sound of this bell exceeding the extent of the Lord - Mayor's mace." - -Can any correspondent of "N. & Q." refer me to an earlier writer than -Fuller for the same definition? - - ALFRED GATTY. - - - - -Queries. - - -ARE OUR LISTS OF ENGLISH SOVEREIGNS COMPLETE? - -It must have often occurred to students of English history that the -current and usual lists of English sovereigns somewhat arbitrarily -reject all mention of some who, though for short periods, have enjoyed -the regal position and power in this country. There will at once occur -to every reader the names (first) of the Empress Maud, who, in a -charter, dated Oxford in 1141, styled herself "Matilda Imperatrix, -Henrici regis filia, et Anglorum Domina;" (secondly) the young King -Henry, the crowned son of Henry II.; and (thirdly) Lady Jane Grey, who, -in a few public and private documents, is cited as "Jane, Queen of -England, Domina Jana, Dei Gratia Angliae, Franciae et Hiberniae Regina," -&c. - -I am desirous now of calling the attention of your historical readers to -the second case, my attention to the subject having been specially -directed thereto by recently consulting the _Chronicon Petroburgense_ -(edited for the Camden Society by Mr. Stapleton), in which occur various -notices of Henry, the crowned son of Henry II., as Henry _III._ I beg to -quote these passages. Under the year MCLXIX. the chronicler records -that-- - - "Hic fecit Henricus Rex coronare filium suum ab archiepiscopo - Eborum." - -Sir Harris Nicholas, in his _Chronology of History_, states that he was -crowned on Sunday the 14th June, 1170. Benedictus Albus Roger, of -Wendover (_Flowers of History_), says that "A.D. 1170, on the 13th of -July," the king's eldest son was crowned by Roger, Archbishop of York. - -His wife Marguerite, of France, was also afterwards crowned in England, -in consequence of her father's complaint that she had not been included -in the former coronation of her husband, Henry the younger (Rex Henricus -junior), as he was commonly styled in this country; _li reys Josves_ in -the Norman language, and _lo reis Joves_ in the dialect of the southern -provinces of France. He himself afterwards assumed the title of _Henry -III._ regarding his father as virtually dead, owing to the fond, but -thoughtless, assertion of his indulgent sire, at the period of the son's -coronation, that "from that day forward the royalty ceased to belong to -him,"--"se regem non esse protestari." (_Vit. B. Thomae_, lib. ii. cap. -31.) - -The _Chronicon Petroburgense_, again, under the year 1183, records the -death of the younger king in these words, "Obiit Henricus tertius rex, -filius Henrici regis;" and afterwards notices the monarch usually styled -Henry _III._ as "Henricus rex iiiitus.," Henry _IV._ Sir Harris Nicholas -says, that Henry the younger is also "called by chroniclers Henry -_III._" - -It is a curious point, because such a distinction must often surely have -been made in the days of the jointly reigning Henrys, and immediately -after that time. The father and son certainly seemed to have been -regarded as for years jointly reigning. For example, Roger of Wendover -records that, in 1175, William of Scotland declared himself the liegeman -of Henry, for the kingdom of Scotland and all his dominions, and did -homage and allegiance to him as his especial lord, "_and to Henry the -king's son_, saving his faith to his father." In the following year both -went through England, "promising justice to every one, both clergy and -laity, which promise they afterwards fully performed." (Roger of -Wendover.) Surely, then, for distinction sake, if not as a matter of -right and custom, the younger Henry should have been always styled Henry -III.; and if so, while he (not to mention the Empress Maud and Queen -Jane) shall remain excluded, therefore, may I not again with some show -of reason ask, are our lists of English sovereigns complete? - - J. J. S. - - The Cloisters, Temple. - - -Minor Queries. - -_Marriage Tithe in Wales._--_Has Tithe of Marriage Goods_ (called in -Welsh "Degwm Priodas") been ever demanded or paid in _recent times_? -This appears to have often been the custom since the act of parliament -(about 1549) declaring such tithe to be illegal: but will the _custom_ -of three centuries (if such a _custom_ has anywhere continued) confer a -right to this peculiar tithe, in spite of the act of parliament? What -was the nature of this tithe? and was it paid by either party in case of -widowhood? - - H. H. H. V. - -"_Preached in a Pulpit rather than a Tub._"--The following couplet is -all that I remember of a poem which was the subject of a violent -newspaper controversy, I think about 1818. Can any one tell me where to -find the rest? - - "Preached in a pulpit rather than a tub, - And gave no guinea to the Bible club." - - H. B. C. - - U. U. C. - -_Lord Wharton's Bibles._--In some parishes there are given away, as a -reward for learning, certain Psalms and Prayers, Bibles bearing the -inscription "the gift of Philip Lord Wharton." How are these Bibles to -be obtained for any particular parish? - - SYLVA, M.A. - -_Reed Family._--_In A Perfect Diurnall of some Passages in Parliament -and the dayly Proceedings of the Army under his Excellency the Lord -Fairfax_, _April 20, 1649_, No. 298., mention is made of one -_Lieut.-Col. John Reed_, governor, under Fairfax, of the town and county -of Poole, the first town making a public "demonstration of adhesion to -the present Parliament sitting at Westminster." A note by Sir James -Mackintosh, to whom this volume belonged, leads me to inquire whether -any of your readers can afford information as to the subsequent career -of this _John Reed_, and whether he can be identified by any local -history as connected with either the Dorset or Devon families of that -name. - - F. S. A. - - Paternoster Row. - -_Slavery in Scotland._--In the Scottish Antiquarian Society's Museum in -Edinburgh there is a brass collar with the following inscription: - - "Alexander Stewart, found guilty of death for theft at Perth, - December 5, 1701--gifted by the Justiciaries as a perpetual - servant to Sir John Areskine of Aloa." - -When was this custom done away with? - - E. F. L. - -_Leslie, Bishop of Down._--Can any of your correspondents give any -information as to the father of Henry Leslie, some time Bishop of Down -and Connor, and who was promoted at the Restoration to the bishopric of -Meath, where he died? - - E. F. L. - -_Chaplains to the Forces._--When was this appointment first made? and -where is any list of the successive chaplains to be found? - - G. - -_John of Horsill._--Could either of your correspondents favour me with -an account of this worthy? Tradition states he held the manors of -Ribbesford and Highlington, near Bewdley (Worcestershire), about the -twelfth century. Several legends, approaching very near to facts, are -extant in this neighbourhood concerning him; one of the best -authenticated is as follows: - -Hunting one day near the Severn, he started a fine buck, which took the -direction of the river; fearing to lose it, he discharged an arrow, -which, piercing it through, continued its flight, and struck a salmon, -which had (as is customary with such fish in shallow streams) leaped -from the surface of the water, with so much force as to transfix it. -This being thought a very extraordinary shot (as indeed it was), a stone -carving representing it was fixed over the west door of Ribbesford -Church, then in course of erection. A description of this carving is, I -believe, in Nash's _History of Worcestershire_, but without any mention -of the legend. The carving merely shows a rude human figure with a bow, -and a salmon transfixed with an arrow before it. A few facts concerning -this "John of Horsill" would be hailed with much pleasure by your well -wisher, - - H. CORVILLE WARDE. - - Kidderminster. - -_St. Crispin's Day._--In the parishes of Cuckfield and Hurst-a-point in -Sussex, it is still the custom to observe St. Crispin's day, and it is -kept with much rejoicing. The boys go round asking for money in the name -of St. Crispin, bonfires are lighted, and it passes off very much in the -same way as the fifth of November does. It appears, from an inscription -on a monument to one of the ancient family of Bunell in the parish -church of Cuckfield, that a Sir John Bunell attended Henry V. to France -in the year 1415, with one ship, twenty men-at-arms, and forty archers; -and it is probable that the observance of this day in that neighbourhood -is connected with that fact. If so, though the names of-- - - "Harry the king, Bedford, and Exeter, - Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloster," - -have ceased to be "familiar as household words" in the mouths of the -people, yet it is a curious proof for what length of time a usage may be -transmitted, though the origin of it may be lost. - -If any of your correspondents can inform me whether St. Crispin's Day is -observed in their neighborhood, and, if so, whether such cases can be -connected, as in the present instance, with some old warrior of -Agincourt, they will much oblige - - R.

Having investigated it, we are inclined to think, - that only those portions of it which appear in the _Britannia_ - have been published. Mr. Salmon, in his _Hertfordshire_, p. 3., - speaking of the word _Tamesis_ being a compound of the two rivers - Tame and Isis, says, "Of this Mr. Camden was so assured, that he - hath left us an elegant poem upon the marriage of these two - streams _in his Britannia_." As to Dr. Basil Kennet's translation, - it is clear from Bishop Gibson's Preface, p. xiv., that he only - translated what has been given in this work.

H. the best information I have. It is scanty, but as a few -years ago there was much competition for Moravian hymn-books, probably -some fortunate possessor of an _editio princeps_ may be induced to tell -us more about them. - -Of the editions which I have seen, the later is always _tamer_ than its -predecessors. I have one entitled _A Collection of Hymns, consisting -chiefly of Translations from the German. Part 3. The Second Edition. -London: printed for James Hutton, Bookseller in Fetter Lane, over -against West Harding Street_, MDCCXLIX. After the manner of German -hymn-books, though in verse, it is printed as prose. I have never seen -Part I. or II.; and though a book which had reached a second edition -only a century ago cannot, under ordinary circumstances, be scarce, -several booksellers and book-fanciers, who have seen mine, declare that -they think it unique. It is probable that ridicule and misconstruction -induced the heads of the congregation to make great alterations and -omissions in fresh editions, and to recommend the destruction of the -old, as a means of avoiding scandal. Very good reason they had for so -doing, as the meaning of spiritual love is often so corporeally -expressed as to make Tabitha's dream, in the _New Bath Guide_, fall far -short of the intensity of the serious work. I cannot find the "chicken -blessed," as cited by Anstey, but have no doubt that it is genuine, as -well as those in the _Oxford Magazine_. At page 86. of my copy is a -different version of that given by P. H. It is called the "Single -Sister's Hymn." Tune: "How is my heart," &c. - - "To you ye Jesu's Wounds! - We pay - A Thousand thankful tears this day, - That you have us presented - With many happy - Virgin-Rows, - Who without nunnery, are close to Jesu's heart cemented. - This is a bliss which is sure - To secure - Virgin-carriage, - In the state itself of marriage." - -It is obvious that this is an amended version. I believe these hymns -were translated by persons not very familiar with the English language. -The versification is occasionally good and harmonious, but generally -lame, and the language abounding with Hebraisms and Germanisms. The -matter is often indescribably puerile; and, though composed _bona fide_, -would look profane and licentious in quotation. - -I have another edition, "chiefly extracted from the Larger Hymn-book," -London, 1769.

MARGOLIOUTH, in his communication on this subject, has not dealt -fairly with the text which he quotes. It is as follows: - - "But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the - one was Eldad, and the name of the other was Medad; and the Spirit - rested upon them, and they were of them that were written, _but - they went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the - camp_." - -The concluding clause, which I have printed in italics, has been omitted -by MR. MARGOLIOUTH, although it is plainly an essential part of the -passage, and necessary to the complete statement of the facts narrated. - -MR. MARGOLIOUTH would translate the passage thus: "And the Spirit rested -upon them, and they were in _The Cethubrin_ (_i.e._ in Wady Mokatteb), -but they went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the -camp." - -He does not, however, explain how Eldad and Medad were in Wady Mokatteb, -more than Moses and the rest of the seventy. The camp itself was in Wady -Mokatteb, according to MR. MARGOLIOUTH's hypothesis, and therefore there -is no opposition between Eldad and Medad being there, and yet remaining -in the camp. But assuredly some opposition is evidently intended between -Eldad and Medad being [Hebrew letters: bet, kav, tav, vav, bet, yod, -mem] amongst them that were written, and the clause (omitted by MR. -MARGOLIOUTH) "but they went not out unto the tabernacle." - -The authorized English version is in accordance with all the ancient -versions, the Chaldee paraphrase, and the commentators, Jewish as well -as Christian. And I think it gives also the common sense view of the -passage. - -Moses had complained of the great burden which rested upon him. "I am -not able (he says) to bear all this people alone, because it is too -heavy for me." He was directed, therefore, to choose seventy men of the -elders of Israel; and God promised him "I will take of the spirit which -is upon thee, and will put it upon them, and they shall bear the burden -of the people with thee, that thou bear it not alone." - -Accordingly Moses brought out the seventy chosen elders, and stationed -them round the tabernacle, and they there received the spirit of -prophecy in some visible manner, so as to make their divine commission -publicly known among the people; but two of them, named Eldad and Medad -(the text goes on to say) remained in the camp, and nevertheless they -also received the spirit of prophecy, for they were of them that were -written [Hebrew letters: bet, kav, tav, vav, bet, yod, mem] (_i.e._ they -were of the number of the seventy whom Moses had selected), although -they went not out to the tabernacle with the others: "[Greek: kai houtoi -esan ek ton katagegrammenon], nam et ipsi descripti fuerant," are the -versions of the LXX. and Latin Vulgate. And this is evidently the -meaning of the passage; for if Eldad and Medad had not been of the -chosen seventy, they would have had no right to go out with the others -to the tabernacle, and the remark of the historian, "that they remained -in the camp _and went not out unto the tabernacle_," would have been -without point or meaning. MR. MARGOLIOUTH, therefore, was quite right to -omit these words, as they completely overturn his hypothesis. - -Why these two elders remained in the camp is not expressly stated in the -inspired narrative. Raschi says,-- - - [Illustration: Hebrew letters] - - "They were of those who were chosen, but they said, we are not - sufficient for this great thing." - -He goes on to tell us that Moses being perplexed how to choose seventy -elders out of the twelve tribes, without giving offence to some one -tribe by choosing a smaller number out of it, selected six out of each -tribe, which made seventy-two, and determined by lot the two who were to -be omitted. Raschi does not say (as Lightfoot, and after him, Bishop -Patrick, seem to have imagined) that the two rejected elders were Eldad -and Medad, for this would be inconsistent with the words just quoted, -where he ascribes their remaining behind to their humility and sense of -insufficiency for so great a work; and I need scarcely say that the text -of the Scripture gives no authority for the story of the seventy-two -chosen, and the two rejected by lot. But even this story sufficiently -proves that the ancient Jewish commentators understood the words -[Hebrew letters] as they are rendered by our English translators. - -MR. MARGOLIOUTH's conjecture, therefore, is totally without foundation; -it is not supported by any authority, and is even inconsistent with the -plain words of the text. I should be sorry to see "N. & Q." made the -vehicle of such rash and unsound criticisms, and therefore I send you -this refutation of it. - -With respect to Wady Mokatteb, it would be very desirable to have the -singular inscriptions there extant carefully copied by competent -scholars. Hitherto we have been forced to content ourselves with the -drawings sent home by chance travellers; would it not be possible to -organize a caravan of competent persons, having some knowledge of -oriental tongues and alphabets, to explore these interesting valleys, -and bring home correct transcripts of their inscriptions? Many noblemen -and gentlemen spend annually on travelling and yachting much more money -than would be necessary to organize such an expedition as I am -suggesting; and if a party put their funds together, and took with them -artists to make the drawings, with a couple of well qualified scholars -to assist in deciphering them, I think they might spend as pleasant, and -certainly a much more profitable, summer, than in ascending Mont Blanc, -or drinking sack in the Rhine steam-boats. Perhaps, also, the -improvements in the daguerreotype and talbotype processes might be made -available for securing absolute accuracy in the fac-similes of the -inscriptions. - - JAMES H. TODD. - - Trinity Coll.

Fraehn has discovered in an Arabian author, - Ibn-abi-Yakoub-el-Nedim, who wrote in 987, a passage stating that - at that period the Russians already possessed the art of writing. - This author has even preserved a specimen of Russian writing of - the tenth century, which, he says, he received from an ambassador - sent to Russia by one of the Princes of the Caucasus. These - characters do not resemble the Greek alphabet, or the runes of the - Scandinavian races. It would appear, therefore, that the first - germ of civilisation in Russia preceded the establishment of Rurik - and the Varangi in this country, instead of having been introduced - by them. A circumstance of peculiar interest is, that these - ancient Russian letters, so different from any other alphabet, - have the greatest analogy with those inscriptions, yet - unexplained, sculptured on the rocks of the desert between Suez - and Mount Sinai, and noticed there in the sixth century of our - aera. The analogy existing between these inscriptions placed on the - confines of Africa and Asia, and others found in Siberia, had - already been demonstrated by Tychsen. M. Fraehn is about to publish - this interesting discovery." - -Query, what ground is there for the above assertions, and what has been -since published in support of such a statement? - - [Greek: m.] - - -BOILING TO DEATH AS A PUNISHMENT. - -(Vol. ii., p. 519.) - -L. H. K. gives an extract from Howe's _Chronicle_, detailing the -punishment of one _Richard Rose_ (as also of another person) in the -above manner for the crime of poisoning, and inquires if this was a -peculiar mode of punishing of _cooks_. No reply to this having yet -appeared, and the subject being only incidentally mentioned at Vol. -iii., p. 153., I venture to submit to you the following Notes I have -made upon it. - -The crime of poisoning was always considered as most detestable, -"because it can, of all others, be the least prevented either by manhood -or forethought." Nevertheless, prior to the statute of 22 Hen. VIII. c. -9. there was no peculiarity in the mode of punishment. The occurrence to -which Howe refers, appears to have excited considerable attention, -probably on account of the supposition that the life of the bishop was -aimed at; so much so, that the extraordinary step was taken of passing -an Act of Parliament, _retrospective_ in its enactments as against the -culprit (who is variously described as _Rose_, _Roose_, otherwise -_Cooke_, and _Rouse_), prescribing the mode of punishment as above, and -declaring the crime of poisoning to be treason for the future. The -occurrence is thus related in a foot-note to Rapin, 2nd edit. vol. i. p. -792.:-- - - "During this Session of Parliament [1531] one _Richard Rouse_, a - _cook_, on the 16th February poisoned some soop in the Bishop of - Rochester's kitchen, with which seventeen persons were mortally - infected; and one of the gentlemen died of it, and some poor - people that were charitably fed with the remainder were also - infected, one woman dying. The person was apprehended; and by Act - of Parliament poisoning was declared treason, and _Rouse_ was - attainted and _sentenced to be boiled to death_, which was to be - the punishment of poisoning for all times to come. The sentence - was executed in Smithfield soon after." - -This horrible punishment did not remain on the Statute Books for any -very lengthened period, the above statute of Henry being repealed by -statutes 1 Edw. VI. c. 12., and 1 Mary, stat. I. c. 1., by which all -_new_ treasons were abolished, since which the punishment has been the -same as in other cases of murder. If within the reach of any -correspondent, an extract from the statute of Henry would be -interesting. - - J. B. COLMAN. - - Eye, Dec. 16. 1851. - - [The Act of 22 Hen.

U. will be extremely sorry to hear that he has not any reason for -persuading himself that his copy of this Index belongs to the original -edition. On account of the difference of spaces observed in the reprint, -each page, though containing only the same matter that appears in the -earlier impression, has been elongated to the extent required for three -lines. The Ratisbon octavo is generally about an inch taller, and a -third part thicker, than the Roman volume. The woodcuts are totally -distinct, and are better in the authentic book; and the _beau papier_, -of which Clement speaks, at once eliminates the modern pretender. - -I have been able to obtain two copies of the genuine Vatican Index as -well as its Serpilian rival; and with respect to what your correspondent -calls "the _Bergomi_" (more properly the _Bergamo_) "edition" of 1608, I -beg to assure him that there is an "undoubted" exemplar likewise -producible, and that I have dispersed a thousand facsimiles of it since -the ear 1837. - -U. U. has charged Mr. Mendham with having imagined that "Brasichellen" -was a "complete" word. I happen to know very well, and many of your -readers also know, that my excellent friend is not altogether such a -simpleton; but he will most probably not take the trouble on this -occasion to defend himself. The fact is, that the Serpilian counterfeit -alone is without the full stop in the case of this word, which in the -Bergamo titlepage ends at "Brasichell." The master of the sacred palace, -with whom we are now concerned, is very rarely mentioned as Giovanni -Maria da _Brisighella_, the designation which he rightly gives to -himself in his Italian edicts; and the Latinized forms _Brasichellanus_ -and _Brasichellensis_ easily arrive at English abridgments. In 1607, -when the Vatican Expurgatory Index was first published, the -Commissary-General of the Roman Inquisition was Agostino Galamini da -_Brisighella_, and his name is sometimes found recorded, unstopped, as -"Augustinus Galaminius _Brasichellen_." - - R. G. - - -HOBBES'S "LEVIATHAN." - -(Vol. iv., pp. 314. 487.) - -I am surprised that your correspondent H. A. B., who appears by his -expressions to be an admirer of the _Leviathan_, should think the -frontispiece an absurd conceit, very unworthy of its author. The design -may be regarded, I think, as a very remarkable embodiment of the thought -expressed in the passage where the term _Leviathan_ is first used. The -civil body or commonwealth, derived from the union of individuals, is -represented by Hobbes as the origin of all rights and duties. And this -combination of men is (_Leviathan_, p. 87.) something more than consent -and concord. It is the real unity of them all in one and the same -person. The multitude, so united in one person, is called a -_Commonwealth_. "This is the generation," he says, "of that great -_Leviathan_, or, to speak more reverently" (that is, with the reverence -due to it), "of that _mortal God_ to which we owe (under the _Immortal -God_) our peace and defence." This "mortal God," thus constituted, may -very fitly be represented by the giant image, made up of thousands of -individual forms, wielding the mighty sword and the magnificent crosier, -and spreading its arms, with an air of sovereignty, over castles and -churches, rivers and ports, fields and villages. The emblems then -represent, as H. A. B. observes, the manifestations of civil and of -ecclesiastical power; and the parallelisms there exhibited appear to me -to be curious: the castle, with a piece of ordnance discharged from the -walls; the church, with a figure of Faith on its roof; the coronet and -the mitre; the cannon, the thunderbolt of war; and the spiritual -fulmination, represented by the mythological thunderbolts; the arms of -Logic, Syllogism, and Dilemma, and the like; and the arms of war, pikes, -and swords, and muskets; and finally, the judiciary tribunal, and the -tribunal of the battle field, the _ultima ratio regum_. - -The frontispiece in the edition of 1651 is a much better print than that -of 1750; and in the former, I think, the resemblance to Cromwell is -undeniable. In this edition, the tablet at the bottom has the words, -"London: _Printed for Andrew Crooke_, 1651." In the edition of 1750 -there are on the tablet the words, "_Written by Thos. Hobbs_, 1651," as -C. J. W. states. - - W. W. - - -MAJOR-GEN.

This lady -died on Wednesday, Sept. 26, 1764, at her house in Greenwich, and is -described as "the relict of Col. Edward Wolfe, and mother to the late -heroic General Wolfe." (_Public Advertiser_, Sept. 28, 1764.) The -official letter from General Wolfe, dated Sept. 9, 1759, is in print. On -Nov. 18, in that year, his body was landed from the "Royal William" at -Portsmouth. Three affecting letters of the bereaved mother to William -Pitt, dated Nov. 6th, 27th, 30th, are likewise published. On March 26, -1759, she had been left a widow by her husband Edward, who was in 1745 -Colonel of H. M. 8th regiment of infantry, and appointed -Lieutenant-General in 1747. In 1758, General James Wolfe was Colonel of -H.M. 67th regiment of foot. By her will, Mrs. Wolfe devised 500_l._ to -the maintenance and repairs of Bromley College (_Cambridge Chronicle_, -Sat. April 27, 1765); and, her debts and legacies being first paid, -bequeathed the residue of her property to poor and deserving persons, -with preference to the widows and families of soldiers who had served -under her gallant son. The applicants were to send in their names to -Jas. Gunter, attorney, of Tooley Street, Southwark, before Jan. 1, 1766 -(_Whitehall Even. Post_, Thursday, Aug. 22, 1765).

J. shows that the Duke wrote "the sentence now so well -known" is 1812. No doubt he did: and it may not unreasonably be assumed -that he had used it many hundred times before under similar -circumstances. F. W. J. evidently confounds those words used by the Duke -in their natural sense with the slang phrase which has been current for -some years, and owes its origin, I believe, to a character in a farce, -"and no mistake." The slang phrase is used by way of binding or -confirming; as, for instance, "I will be there at two o'clock, _and no -mistake_,"--the latter words being equivalent to "You may depend on it:" -if, indeed, it be possible to fix a precise meaning to words so -improperly applied. It is hardly necessary to say, that in both the -instances referred to by your correspondent, the Duke used the words in -their natural and proper sense. F. W. J. is wrong in supposing that the -Duke used the phrase in his "reply to Mrs. Huskisson;" it was to Lord -Dudley his Grace addressed the words. Mr. Huskisson having voted against -his colleagues on the question of transferring the franchise from East -Retford to Birmingham, went straight from the House of Commons to his -office in Downing Street, and wrote a letter to the Duke, then Prime -Minister, announcing that he lost no time in affording his Grace an -opportunity of placing his (Mr. Huskisson's) office in other hands, as -the only means in his power of preventing the injury to the King's -service which might ensue from the appearance of disunion in His -Majesty's councils, &c. On receipt of Mr. Huskisson's note, the Duke -wrote to that gentleman stating that he had deemed it his duty to lay -his note before the King. It happened that the Duke's note reached Mr. -Huskisson whilst he was engaged in conversation with Lord Dudley, to -whom he had been describing his own note to the Duke, and speaking of it -(strange enough) as if it had not been a tender of resignation. When Mr. -Huskisson showed Lord Dudley the Duke's letter, which showed that his -Grace took a different view of the matter, his Lordship, knowing what -Mr. Huskisson had been telling him, naturally enough said that the Duke -must be labouring under a mistake. But this incident was narrated with -so much _naivete_ by Mr. Huskisson himself, that I am tempted to quote -his words (spoken in the House of Commons) as they were reported in the -_Times_, June 3, 1828:-- - - "Upon showing this (the Duke's) letter to Lord Dudley, so struck - was he with the the different import which the Duke of Wellington - attached to the matter from that which was impressed on himself by - the previous conversation, that he remarked, 'Oh, I see the Duke - has entirely mistaken your meaning: I will go and see him, and set - the matter right.' (A laugh.) Lord Dudley returned shortly after - seeing the Duke, and said, 'I am sorry to say I have not been - successful. He (the Duke) says it is no mistake; it can be no - mistake; and (if Mr. Huskisson's relation of the words were not - imperfectly heard, for he let his voice drop repeatedly) it shall - be no mistake." (Loud laughter.) - - C. ROSS. - - -THE REV. MR. GAY. - -(Vol. iv., p. 388.) - -I am greatly obliged by the communication of your correspondent relative -to the Gays connected with Sidney College. It was as from that quarter I -expected light. The passage in Paley's _Life of Law_, which is to me of -considerable interest, long ago attracted my attention, although it -escaped notice at the moment when I ventured to send my first inquiry. -It runs as follows: - - "Our Bishop always spoke of this gentleman in terms of the - greatest respect. In the Bible, and in the writings of Mr. Locke, - no man, he used to say, was so well versed." - -Thus I find the passage quoted from Paley in Nichols' _Literary -Anecdotes of the Eighteenth Century_, vol. ii. p. 66. Bishop Law also -mentions him in a letter to Dr. Zach. Grey, editor of _Hudibras_: -"Respects to _honest_ Mr. Gay, and all friends in St. John's." The -letter was written from Graystock, May 31, 1743. The full address of Dr. -Grey unfortunately is not given where I find the letter, in the same -vol. of Nichols, p. 535. But we may safely gather from it, that at that -time "_honest_ Mr. Gay" was at Cambridge, and in esteem; whether a -resident, as should seem most likely from the manner of the notice, or a -casual visitor, does not certainly appear. If a resident, this is not -consistent with the idea of your correspondent, that he became vicar of -Wilshamstead, Bedfordshire, and vacated his fellowship before 1732. I -wish that the identity of the author of the Dissertation with the John -Gay--first in the list of your correspondent--an identity to which my -mind also inclines, could be more clearly made out. He was born, and -partly educated, in Devonshire. - -A private correspondent has very kindly furnished me with a few -particulars relative to Nicholas Gay, the second mentioned in your -correspondent's list, and father of the fourth, which Nicholas was vicar -of Newton St. Cyres, near Exeter, and died, aet. seventy-five, in 1775; -and to another, Richard Gay, rector of St. Leonard, near Exeter, who -died in 1755. Of this Richard Gay, on a stone in the church of -Frithelstock, near Torrington, it is said that-- - - "To great learning, he added a most exemplary life in constant - faithful endeavours to support religion, to glorify God, and to do - good to man. He was equalled by few, surpassed by none of the age - he lived in." - -To such a character, one would gladly attach the Dissertation in -question, but no Richard Gay, it appears, is mentioned in the records of -Sidney College. There were many Gays in Devonshire of the family of John -Gay the poet. - -Permit me to make another inquiry: Is there any tolerably good account -in existence of the private or domestic life of the celebrated Lord -North, minister and favourite of George III.? Of his political career, a -pleasing sketch is given by Lord Brougham, in his _Historical Sketches -of Statesmen_, and many delightful anecdotes of his incomparable temper -and playful wit are known; but of his domestic history I cannot find a -trace. - - EDWARD TAGART. - - Wildwood, Hampstead. - - -PARISH REGISTERS, RIGHT OF SEARCH. - -(Vol. iv., p. 473.) - -As the Query herein appears to be one which it is more the province of -the lawyer to answer, I take the liberty of submitting the following for -your correspondent's consideration. - -The ecclesiastical mode of registration appears now to be regulated by -52 Geo. III. c. 146., which still remains in force (except with regard -to marriages, which was repealed on the introduction of the civil -method) as far as regards baptisms and burials; and by the 16th section -of that act, a proviso is enacted, that nothing in that act should -diminish or increase the fees theretofore payable, or of right due, to -any minister for the performance of the _before_-mentioned duties, &c. - -The before-mentioned duties here referred to were, that they (the -officiating ministers) should keep the registers of public and private -baptisms, marriages, and burials in books for that purpose provided by -the parish, that they should as soon after the solemnisation of the -ceremony as possible enter it in the register. That such Register Books -should be kept in the custody of the minister in an iron chest, which -was to be kept locked, except for the purpose of making the entries as -above, _or for the inspection of persons desirous to make search -therein_, or to obtain copies, or for production as evidence, or for -inspection as to their condition, or for the purposes of that act. That, -within a stated period, the ministers should make copies (annually) of -the registers, verify them, and transmit the copies to the registrar of -the diocese. Now these just mentioned are the duties referred to in the -act, so far as they concern our inquiry; and the fees payable have been -the fee of one guinea for keeping the registers, a fee allowed by the -parish for sending copies of them to the registrar of the diocese; but I -do not observe any fee for any person searching, or even obtaining -copies of any entry of baptism or burial, if they feel so disposed. - -The civil method of registration is regulated by the 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. -86.; and by the 35th section it is enacted: - - "That every rector, vicar, or curate, and every registrar, - registering officer, and secretary who shall have the keeping for - the time being of any Register Books of _births_, _deaths_, or - marriages, shall at all reasonable times allow _searches_ to be - made of any _Register Book_ in his keeping, and shall give a copy - certified under his hand of any entry or entries in the same on - payment of ... for every search extending over a period not more - than one year, the sum of one shilling, and sixpence additional - for every additional year; and the sum of two shillings and - sixpence for every single certificate." - -This will be seen to comprehend such Register Books as apply to births -and deaths only, and not to those containing baptisms and burials (which -latter are only in the custody of the officiating ministers); and -although some doubts may arise from the words "allow searches to be made -of _any Register Book_ in his keeping," I am of opinion that "the -Register Book" here meant "in his keeping" only applies to the -description just preceding, viz. of "_births and deaths_." I am inclined -to think that no fee is payable legally to the minister _for searching_ -the Register Books of _baptisms or burials_, nor even for making a copy -of an entry therein by any persons if they feel disposed to take a copy -themselves. - -In the same act, sec. 49., a provision is enacted that nothing in that -act shall affect the _registration_ of baptisms or burials as then by -law established, or the right of any officiating minister to receive the -usual fees for the _performance or registration_ of any baptism, burial, -or marriage: so that there is nothing even in this controlling clause -last quoted, that at all affects the right of persons to search without -fee the registers of baptisms or burials, or even of making copies; for -that clause simply refers to the fact of registering, and the fees -payable for solemnising the same, and the registration, although I am -not aware that there is a fee for registering a baptism, although it was -so in William III.'s reign. - -By the 12th sect. of the 52 Geo. III. c. 146. (the latter part of it), I -find that the copies of the registers which are transmitted by the -minister annually to the registrar of the diocese, are to be arranged, -and an alphabetical list of names to be made by the registrar; and such -copies and list to be open to _public search_ at all reasonable times -upon _payment of their usual fees_. This of course does not apply to the -_baptismal or burial registers_ in the custody of the minister; but it -is quoted that your correspondent may be in possession of the whole -facts, for it is undoubtedly most important to the genealogical or -archaeological inquirer. If I am wrong, I shall be glad to stand -corrected on the error being pointed out. - - JOHN NURSE CHADWICK. - - King's Lynn, Dec. 15, 1851. - - -Replies to Minor Queries. - -_Proverbs_ (Vol. iv., p. 239.).--A proverb has been well defined (it is -said by Lord John Russell) to be "the wisdom of many, and the wit of -one." - - ESTE. - -_Infantry Firing_ (Vol. iv., p. 407.).--The following short paragraph on -this subject may be acceptable to your correspondent H.

I am also obliged to J.S. (the -editor, I apprehend, of this new edition) for having corrected the -errors into which I had unintentionally fallen; nor will my neighbour, -the Rev. C.H. Crauford, I am sure, feel less obliged. - -It now appears that this new reprint is copied _verbatim et literatim_ -from the third impression printed at London, by John Haviland for _Hanna -Barres_, 1625. My Query also has been the means of ascertaining from -another correspondent, P. B. (the initials, I believe, of one of the -most correct of bibliographers in names and dates), a notice of what he -believes to be the _first_ edition printed by John Haviland for _William -Barret_, 1624. But, as Blackwood's edition is dated 1625, and is called -the _third_ edition, is it not very probable that an earlier one -appeared than even that of 1624? - -Should the notice I have attracted to Mrs. Joceline's _Mother's -Legacie_, and the letter accompanying it, addressed, "in the immediate -prospect of death, to her truly loving and most dearly beloved husband," -be the means of extending the sale and the perusal of this beautiful -little pocket volume, "replete with practical wisdom and hallowed -principles, that no human being who is not past feeling can read without -deep emotion," I shall be truly gratified: and it will be another -instance of the utility and value of "N. & Q." being the medium of -bringing such books before the public eye. - - J.

In the north aisle is an -altar-tomb, with the effigies of a knight in plate armour, with a collar -of SS. At his feet is a ball; and under his head, which is uncovered, a -helmet with crest and lambrequin. The crest is too much defaced to be -made out, but in a sketch made in 1584 is figured as a stag's head. -Tradition assigns this tomb to one of the family of Downes; but it is -surrounded by the monumental effigies of the Savages (one being that of -the hero of Bosworth), and bears the arms of Archbishop Savage, who is -said to have repaired it. - -The other, which is an exceedingly beautiful monument, and in excellent -preservation, is in the chancel of Barthomley church. It is an embattled -altar-tomb: on the sides are figures, somewhat mutilated, of knights and -ladies, sculptured in bas-relief, under richly crocketted gothic -canopies. The knight is in plate armour, with a coif de mailles and -pointed helmet (_exactly_ of the same character as the effigy of Edward -the Black Prince in Canterbury Cathedral), and wears a collar of SS. -most elaborately carved. It is known as the tomb of Sir Robert -Fulleshurst, one of the four esquires of the gallant James Lord Audley -at the battle of Poictiers, who died in 13 Rich. II. (In Bunbury church, -there is an alabaster altar-tomb to Sir Hugh Calveley, the famous -Captain of "Companions" at the battle of Najara, who died 1394. It is so -exactly similar in every respect, with the exception of the collar of -SS., to that of Sir Robert Fulleshurst, that of the sketches I have made -of both you could not distinguish one from the other.) - -There are also said to be effigies bearing the collar of SS. in the -churches of Cheadle, Mottram, Over Peover, and Malpas, of which I will -send you some notice as soon as I have seen them. - - LEWIS EVANS. - - Sandbach, Cheshire. - -_Pronunciation of Coke_ (Vol. iv., p. 244.).--In confirmation of the -opinion that his name was pronounced _Cook_, I beg to send you an -extract from the _Life of Sir Edward Coke_, by C.

In the -Greek church, near London Wall, every seat is on the miserere -construction. During those parts of the service (and they are very -frequent) where the rubric requires a standing posture, the worshipper -raises the stall to support the person, which it does in a very -sufficient manner. - -In the parish church of Mere, in Wiltshire, the "misereres" are -furnished with hooks, to prevent their falling down again when once -elevated. - - RECHABITE. - -_Inscription on a Pair of Spectacles_ (Vol. iv., p. 407.).--The words -are evidently all proper names except the third and fourth, _Seel.

I interpret it, "Peter Conrad Wiegel, heir of the late -John May." - - SC. - - Carmarthen. - -_John Lord Frescheville_ (Vol. iv., p. 441.).--In answer to D.'s enquiry -whether there is any proof of this cavalier having been engaged in -Kineton fight, he may be referred to the patent of his peerage, which -refers to his having been present at the first erection of the king's -standard at Nottingham, and to his "many eminent services against the -rebels, as well in the first happy defeate given to the best of their -cavalrye in the fight near Worcester, as at Kineton, Braynford, -Marleborough, Newbery, and at many other places, where he hath received -severall wounds."

TENNENT, in extracting from his volume on _Modern Greece_ -(vol. ii. p. 266.), has given fresh currency to a singular error. The -Council of Trullo was cited by him in 1830, and is again quoted as -ordering "that thenceforth fiction and allegory should cease, and _the -real figure of the Saviour be depicted on the tree_;" and we are -referred to _Can. 82. Act. Concil._ Paris, 1714, v. iii., col. 1691, -1692. But should your readers turn to the canons of that council they -would be disappointed at finding nothing about the cross, and one is -curious to know how an historian could have been led into so singular a -mistake. Johnson (see _Clergyman's Vade Mecum_, Part II., p. 283. third -edit.) thus gives the substance of the canon:-- - - "82. Whereas, among the venerable pictures, the Lamb is - represented as pointed at by the finger of his forerunner [John - the Baptist], which is only a symbol or shadow; we, having due - regard to the type, but preferring the anti-type, determine that - he be for the future described more perfectly, and that the - portraicture of a man be made instead of the old Lamb: that by - this we may be reminded of His incarnation, life, and death." - -And though I have not the precise edition at hand to which SIR J. E. -TENNENT refers, yet on turning to Labbe, I find that Johnson has -correctly epitomized the canon in question. - - "In nonnullis venerabilium imaginum picturis, agnus qui digito - praecursoris monstratur, depingitur, qui ad gratiae figuram - assumptus est, verum nobis agnum per legem Christum Deum nostrum - praemonstrans. Antiquas ergo figuras et umbras, ut veritatis signa - et characteres ecclesiae traditos, amplectentes, gratiam et - veritatem praeponimus, eum ut legis implementum suscipientes.

DN. - -_Rotten Row_ (Vol. i., p. 441.; Vol. ii., p. 235.).--May I be allowed to -re-open the question as to the origin of this name, by suggesting that -it may arise from the woollen stuff called _rateen_? A "Rateenrowe" -occurs in 1437 in Bury St. Edmund's, which was the great cloth mart of -the north-eastern parts of the kingdom; and where, at the same time, -were a number of rows named after trades, as "Lyndraper Row," "Mercer's -Row," "Skynner Rowe," "Spycer's Rowe," &c. What is the earliest known -instance of the word? - - BURIENSIS. - -_Borough-English_ (Vol. iv., pp. 133. 214. 235. 259.).--Watkins' -_Copyholds_ furnishes in its appendix a list of the customs of different -manors, and therein specifies those which are subject to the custom of -Borough-English. With regard to there being any instance on record of -its being carried into effect in modern times, there must not be a -mistake between the custom which now exists, and that which some authors -assert was the origin of it. The custom is, that the youngest son -inherits in exclusion of his eldest brothers; this is exercised, or it -could not exist. But the custom to which reference has been made, as -having been stated by some authors to be the origin of the existing -custom of Borough-English, is not mentioned by Littleton as such. He -gives a different reason, namely: - - "Because the younger son, by reason of his tender age, is not so - capable as the rest of his brethren to provide for himself." - -And Blackstone adduces a third from the practice of the Tartars, among -whom, on the authority of Father Duhalde, he states that this custom of -descent to the youngest son also prevails, and gives it in these -words:-- - - "That nation is composed totally of shepherds and herdsmen; and - the elder sons, as soon as they are capable of leading a pastoral - life, migrate from their father with a certain allotment of - cattle, and go to seek a new habitation. The youngest son, - therefore, who continues latest with the father, is naturally the - heir of his house, the rest being already provided for. And thus - we find that among many other northern nations, it was the custom - for all the sons but one to migrate from the father, which one - became his heir. So that possibly this custom, wherever it - prevails, may be the remnant of that pastoral state of our British - and German ancestors, which Caesar and Tacitus describe." - - T.

(Manchester). -Jonathan Tonge of Tonge, gent., by will, dated Sept. 7, 1725, devised -his estate "to be sold to the best purchaser," and appointed his brother -Thomas Tonge, gent., who had a family, one of his executors. In the year -following, the whole estate was purchased for 4350_l._ by Mr. John -Starky of Rochdale, a successful attorney, in whose representative it is -now vested. The Tonges deduced their descent from Thomas de Tonge, -_probably_ a natural son of Alice de Wolveley (herself the heiress of -the family of Prestwich of Prestwich), living 7 Edw.

There is a print -of this tree in Arthur Young's _Survey of Essex_. - -If the rural readers of "N. & Q." will observe whether the finest -specimens of oaks have their acorns growing, on long or short stalks -(_quercus sessiliflora_ or _pedunculata_), they might throw much light -on the questions, Have we two distinct English oaks? and, if so, Which -makes the largest and best timber? The timber used inside old buildings, -and erroneously often called chesnut, is supposed to be the sessiliflora -variety of oak, placed inside because it is not so durable as the -quercus pedunculata. But I have been lately informed this variety is in -Sussex selected, as the best, for Portsmouth Dockyard! - -In the year 1783 my grandfather first drew attention to the two -varieties of English oaks, in the _Gentleman's Magazine_, p. 653. He was -brother of Gilbert White of Selborne, and an equally acute observer of -Nature.

In the _Tatler_, No. 254., the illustrious Isaac Bickerstaff -informs us that some manuscripts of Mandeville's and of Ferdinand Mendis -Pinto's, not hitherto included in their published works, had come into -his hands, from which he purposed making extracts from time to time; and -then proceeds to give us the identical story which your correspondent J. -M. G. appears to have taken for a real bit of Mandeville, in ignorance -or forgetfulness of its origin: for I cannot suppose any one so dull as -to take the passage in the _Tatler_ in sober earnest.

WARDEN. - - Balica. - -_Separation of Sexes in Church_ (Vol. ii., p. 94.).--In Christ Church, -Birmingham, the males are (or were) separated from the females, which -gave rise to the following lines, which I quote from Allen's _Guide to -Birmingham_: - - "The churches and chapels we generally find, - Are the places where men unto women are join'd; - But at Christ Church, it seems, they are more cruel-hearted, - For men and their wives are brought there to be parted." - - ESTE. - -_Deep Wells_ (Vol. iv., p. 492.).--Besides streams and sunk wells, there -is of course another source of water arising from natural springs; and -there are some on both sides of the Banstead Down, which are very -considerable. The chief, probably, is the source of the River Wandle, at -Carshalton, pronounced (with the same omission of the _r_ which P. M. M. -notices) as if it was spelt _Case-_, or _Cays-horton_. - -But there is a very strong one at Merstham. These are both at the foot -of the Chalk hills. P. M. M. does not mention the geological causes on -which the relations between wells or springs depend. About thirty-five -years ago the spring at Merstham, which feeds a considerable spring, -failed, and there was a great dispute whether it was owing to -excavations in the neighbourhood. An action was brought, which decided -that it was not attributable to them; upon which I believe Mr. Webster -and Mr. Phillips, eminent geological authorities, were examined, and -which led, perhaps, to their respective accounts, in the _Geological -Transactions_, of the structure of that valley. The story was, that, -after having gained the cause, the proprietor of the quarries said, "I -think we may let them have their water back again." Certain it is that -after some time the water did return. - -The Galt clay almost everywhere underlies chalk: this at Merstham is 200 -feet thick, and upon the pitch and situation of it many apparently -strange phenomena of wells would depend, as is noticed with regard to -another clay stratum at Norton St. Philips, near Bath, in Conybeare and -Phillips' _Geology_. - -There are very deep wells throughout the London clay, and other beds -below it, perhaps, at Wimbledon and at Richmond Park. The deep well at -Carisbrook Castle is well known. That is in the chalk; and where, the -chalk being thrown into a vertical position, it may be still farther to -the bottom of it. - - C. B. - -_Dictionary of Hackneyed Quotations_ (Vol. iv., p. 405.).--I am glad to -find, from the communication by H. A. B., that a book of the above -description is likely to appear. The want of such a book has long been -felt, and its appearance will fill up a gap in literature: how it could -so long have escaped the notice of publishers is a mystery. "Though lost -to sight, to memory dear," the author of which H. A. B. inquires for, -is, I think, not likely to be found in any author. My impression is, -that it cannot be traced up to any definite source: I remember it only -as a motto on a seal which was in my possession nearly thirty years ago. - - MANCUNIUM. - - Manchester. - -_Macaulay's Ballad of Naseby_ (Vol. iv., p. 485.).--It was reprinted by -Charles Knight in the _last_ (or _octavo_) series of the _Penny -Magazine_, vol. ii., p. 223. With it is the companion called "The -Cavalier's March to London." It will not be very easy for authors to -shake off their juvenile productions, while "N. & Q." is in existence; -nor need Mr. Macaulay be ashamed of these ballads. They are spirited, -and pleasant to read. - - M. - -_Ducks and Drakes_ (Vol. iv., p. 502.).--An extract from Mr. Bellenden -Ker's account of the origin and meaning of these words, will answer M. -W. B.'s question in the affirmative. - - DUCKS AND DRAKES. - - "As the boys play by skimming a flat stone along the surface of - the water; so as to cause it to make as many bounds or ricochets - as the skimmer's strength and dexterity can enforce. The - superiority, in the play, is decided by the greatest number of - times the stone touches and bounds upon the surface, in - consequence of the way it is slung from the hand of the performer. - _D'hach's aen der reyckes_ q.e. _the hazard_ [_event_] _is upon - the touches_; the issue of the game depends upon the number of - bounds [separate touchings] made on the surface of the water. When - we say, _he has made ducks and drakes of his money_, it is merely - in the sense of, he has thrown it away childishly and hopelessly; - and the stone is the boy's throw for a childish purpose, and sinks - at the end of its career, to be lost in the water."--_Essay on the - Archaeology of our Popular Phrases and Nursery Rhymes_, vol. ii., - p. 140. - - C. FORBES. - - Temple. - -_John Holywood, the Mathematician_ (Vol. iii., p. 389.).--I do not -observe that any one has replied to the Query of DR. RIMBAULT, as to the -birth-place of _John Holywood, the Mathematician_. I presume he means -_Johannes a Sacrobosco_, who died in Paris A.D. 1244, and was the author -of the treatise _De Sphaera_ and other works. In Harris's _History of the -County of Down_: Dublin, 1744., p. 260., a claim to the honour of his -birth is made on behalf of the town of Holywood, about four miles from -Belfast, where he is said to have been a brother of the order of the -Franciscans, who had a friary there. Some of the sculptured stones of -the building may still be seen in the walls of the ruined church which -stands upon its site; and its lands form part of the estate of Lord -Dufferin and Clandeboy. - - J. EMERSON TENNENT. - - London. - -_Objective and Subjective_ (Vol. v., p. 11.)--From the tone of X.'s -inquiry into the meaning of this antithesis, it is tolerably plain that -no answer will make _him_ confess that it is intelligible; yet it was -familiar in the best times of our philosophical literature, and the -words, according to this, their philosophical opposition, occur in -Johnson's _Dictionary_. I think it is desirable to avoid this -phraseology, but the meaning of it may be made clear enough to any one -who wishes to understand it. The _object_ on which man employs his -senses or his thoughts, are distinct enough from the man himself, the -_subject_ in which the senses and the thoughts exist. Several years ago -an Edinburgh Reviewer complained that Germans, and Germanized -Englishmen, were beginning to use _objective_ and _subjective_ for -_external_ and _internal_. This is a sort of rough approximation to the -meaning of the terms. But perhaps the distinction is better illustrated -by examples. We call Homer an objective, Lucan a subjective, poet, -because the former tells his story about external objects and wants, -interposing little which belongs to himself. Lucan, on the other hand, -is perpetually introducing reflections arising from the internal -character of his own mind. Objective truth is language which agrees with -the facts, correctness. Subjective truth is language which agrees with -the convictions of the speaker, veracity. - -Perhaps X. will allow me to ask in turn, what is "a physical ignoramus," -the character in which he begs some of your intelligent readers to -enlighten him. - -I have said above that I think this mode of expressing the antithesis -better avoided; I will state why. It puts the man who thinks, and the -objects about which he thinks, side by side, as if they were alike and -co-ordinate. It implies the view of some one who can look at both of -them; whereas, the thing to be implied is the opposition between being -looked at and looking. Hence _subjective_ is a bad word; a man is not, -in ordinary language, the _subject_ of his own senses or of his own -thoughts, merely because they are in him. The antithesis would be better -expressed in many cases, by the words _objective_ and _mental_, or -_objective_ and _cogitative_. But different words would be eligible in -different cases. - - W. W. - -_Plant in Texas_ (Vol. iv., pp. 208. 332.).--In turning over some papers -I found the following paragraph: - - "Major Alvord has discovered a singular plant of the Western - Prairies, said to possess the peculiarity of pointing north and - south, and to which he has given the name of Silphium Laciniatum. - No trace of iron has been discovered in the plant; but, as it is - full of resinous matter, Major Alvord suggests that its polarity - may be due to electric currents." - - JOHN C. WHISTAIR. - -_Lord Say and Printing_ (Vol. iv., p. 344.).--In Milman's edition of -_Gibbon's Autobiography_, there occurs a passage respecting his -ancestor, Lord Treasurer Say, from which it appears that the great -historian doubted the accuracy of Shakspeare's allusion (which he -quotes). I have not the book with me, or I would refer MR. FRAZER to the -page. I think Gibbon would not have rested content with a mere assertion -of his opinion, if a fact so creditable to his ancestor's understanding -were capable of proof. - - NICAEENSIS. - -_Age of Trees_ (Vol. iv., pp. 401. 448.).--Since the note on the age of -trees appeared, my attention has been called to a discussion of the -subject in an article on Decandolle's _Vegetable Physiology_, written I -believe by Prof. Henslow, in the _Foreign Quarterly Review_, vol. xi. p. -368-71. With respect to the yew near Fountains Abbey, he remarks as -follows: - - "In the first of these examples, we have the _testimony of - history_ for knowing that this tree was in existence, and must - have been of considerable size, in the year 1133, _it being - recorded_ that the monks took shelter under it whilst they were - rebuilding Fountains Abbey."--p. 369. - -Query: Where is this historical testimony to be found? Nothing is said -on the subject in the account of Fountains Abbey in Dugdale's -_Monasticon_, vol. v., p. 286. ed. 1825. - -With respect to the Shelton Oak (Vol. iv., p. 402.) the movements of -Owen Glendower, at the time of the battle of Shrewsbury, are accurately -detailed in the life of him inserted in Pennant's _Tours in Wales_, vol. -iii., p. 355. (ed. 1810); and the account there given is inconsistent -with the story of his having ascended a tree in order to count Percy's -troops. It appears that at the time of the battle he was at Oswestry, at -the head of 12,000 men. - -Lord Campbell, in his _Lives of the Chief Justices_, describes the -suicide of Sir William Hankford, Chief Justice in the reigns of Henry V. -and VI., who is said to have contrived to get himself shot at night by -his own keeper. Lord Campbell quotes Prince, the author of the _Worthies -of Devon_, p. 362. as stating that-- - - "This story is authenticated by several writers, and the constant - traditions of the neighbourhood; and I, myself, have been shown - the rotten stump of an old oak under which he is said to have - fallen, and it is called _Hankford's Oak_ to this day."--See - _Lives of the Chief Justices_, vol. i., c. 4. p. 140. - - L. - -_Grimes-dyke_ (Vol. iv., p. 454.)--Your correspondents appear to have -overlooked _Offandic_, _Wodnesdic_ (so often mentioned in the Saxon -charters), and _Esendike_--doubtless so named in memory of Esa, the -progenitor of the kings of Bernicia--and _Gugedike_, which I suspect is -an old British form for Gog's dike (Fr. _Yagiouge_), as well as -_Grimanleah_ (Wood of Horrors), and _Grimanhyl_. It is true we find the -_Grimsetane-gemaero_ in Worcestershire (_Cod. Dipl._, No. 561.); but we -also find _Wodnesbeorg_ (_Id._ No. 1035.). Allow me to give you the -substance of a remark of Professor H. Leo of Halle on this subject. -(_Ang. Saech. Ortsnamen_, p. 5.) - - "Wild, dismal places are coupled with the names of grim, fabulous - creatures: thus, in Charter 957, King Eadwig presented to Odo, - Archbishop of Canterbury, a territorial property at 'Hel-ig' (on - the Islet of Helas). A morass is cited which is called, after the - ancient mythological hero, _Grindles-mere_; a pit, - _Grindles-pytt_; a small islet surrounded with water--which was to - an Anglo-Saxon a "locus terribilis"--was called _Thorn-ei_ (the - thorn tree being of ill omen). And thus, in order to express the - ordinary associations connected with neighbourhood, recourse was - had rather to mythic personages, than to abstract expressions." - -I would here observe that the _Ortsnamen_ has been for some time in -course of translation, with the Professor's sanction and assistance, -with a view to its publication in England. - - B. WILLIAMS. - - Hillingdon. - -_Petition respecting the Duke of Wellington_ (Vol. iv., pp. 233. -477.).--E. N. W. is assured that the petition for the recall of the Duke -of Wellington was presented. Being too ill to travel several miles to a -public library, I can only refer to works in which a reference to it -will be found. In No. XIX. of the late _British and Foreign Quarterly_, -published by Messrs. Taylor, Red Lion Court, Fleet Street, is an extract -from the admirable letter of his Grace to Lord Liverpool on the subject; -and in Colonel Gurwood's edition of the _Wellington Dispatches_, on -which the article alluded to is written, and which contains much -interesting matter relating to his Grace not to be found any where else, -is the whole dispatch. I asked for information relative to the petition, -because I had heard that it had been destroyed, and it was too droll a -document to be allowed to be lost. - - AEGROTUS. - -_Countess of Desmond_ (Vol. iv., pp. 305. 426.).--_Tour in Scotland_, -fourth edition of Pennant's works. Mine was Dr. Latham's copy. - -Description of print of Catherine, Countess of Desmond, quite correct as -to face, hair, and cloak. There is no button, but over the breast it is -laced. In the inside of the black hood is a damask pattern waved with -flowers. - - C. J. W. - -_Woman torn to pieces by Wild Cats as a Punishment for Infanticide_ -(Vol. iii., p. 91.).--In the _Wonders of the Universe, or Curiosities of -Nature and Art_, vol. ii., p. 555., will be found the account of this -affair. The culprit was named Louise Mabree, a midwife in Paris; the -corpses of no less than sixty-two infants were found in and about her -house: she was sentenced to be shut up in an iron cage with sixteen wild -cats, and suspended over a slow fire. When the cats became infuriated -with heat and pain, they turned their rage upon her; and after -thirty-five minutes of the most horrible sufferings, put an end to her -existence,--the whole of the cats dying at the same time, or within two -minutes after. This occurred in 1673. - - J. S. WARDEN. - - Balica, Oct. 1851. - -"_Racked by pain, by shame confounded_" (Vol. iv., p. 7.).--These are -the commencing lines of a short original poem called "The Negro's -Triumph." It is to be found in the _Parent's Poetical Anthology_, edited -by Mrs. Mant, p. 231. 5th edition, 1849. - - T. H. KERSLEY, B.A. - -_Blessing by Hand_ (Vol. iii., pp. 477. 509.).--Some drawings and -descriptions of the modes of blessing by the hand are to be found, in -the "Dictionary of Terms of Art," published in one of the early numbers -of the _Art Journal_ for this year. - - ESTE. - -_Verses in Latin Prose_ (Vol. iv., p. 382.).--A. A. D. will surely thank -me, if his Note on the subject do not contain it, for the _rationale_, -which Sir Thomas Brown gives, _Religio Medici_, Part ii. p. 9., of the -occurrence of verses in Latin prose: - - "I will not say with Plato, the soul is an harmony, but - harmonical, and hath its nearest sympathy unto music: thus some, - whose temper of body agrees, and humours the constitution of their - souls, are born poets, though indeed all are naturally inclined - unto rhythm. This made Tacitus, in the very first lines of his - story, fall upon a verse (_Urbem Romam in principio regis - habuere_); and Cicero, the worst of poets, but declaiming for a - poet, falls, in the very first sentence, upon a perfect hexameter: - _In qu[=a] me non inficior mediocriter esse_." - - C. W. B. - -_Blakloanae Haeresis_ (Vol. iv., pp. 193. 239. 240.).--As I was the -querist concerning this work and its author, and wanted the information, -I was very thankful for the satisfactory answers given. The books -referred to by R. G. are not inaccessible: whether then it be needful to -occupy your columns with the "particulars" required by E. A. M. (Vol. -iv., p. 458.) may be a query too. The first word of the title is as -above (not Blackloanae, as your correspondents have it). E. A. M. will -find that Blacklow, or Blakloe, is a soubriquet, as well as Lominus. - -P. S.--On examining the book, however, I am not convinced that Peter -Talbot was its "real author," though extensive use is made of what he -had written; or that "Lominus" is an "imaginary divine," even if the -name be a feigned one. On what ground do these assertions rest? - - S. W. RIX. - - Beccles. - -_Quaker Bible_ (Vol. iv., pp. 87. 412.).--A MEMBER OF THE SOCIETY OF -FRIENDS, who writes on the subject of a _Quaker Expurgated Bible_, -appears to be unaware of the existence of a work once (I believe) well -known in that body. This was an epitome or compendium of the Bible by -John Kendall; it contained the greater portion of the Word of God, such -parts being excluded as the editor did not consider profitable. It is -probably to this book that the authoress of _Quakerism_ refers; I have, -however, never seen her work. This mutilated Bible of John Kendall was -frequently to be met with formerly in the houses of members of the -Society of Friends; as I have not seen it for more than twenty years, I -cannot tell what its exact date may be; it was, however, published in -the days when all religious publications of the Society of Friends -_were_ subject to the approval of a committee. In 1830, George Witley -published a list of those chapters in the Bible which were "suitable" -for reading in "Friends'" families; amongst other portions he excluded -(I believe) the 16th of Leviticus and Psalm xxii. In _private_ he -thought the whole might be read; but he says that he prepared this index -because of having heard _very unsuitable_ matter read aloud! This -information may be new to your correspondent. - - SIMONIDES. - -_Wyle Cop_ (Vol. iv., pp. 116. 243. 509.).--E. H. D. D. is in error; the -Wyle Cop at Shrewsbury is _not_ an artificial bank, but a natural -eminence overlooking the Severn; and I cannot agree with him in the -immateriality of the meaning attached to _Wyle_. The associations -connected with names are frequently of great topographical and -historical value. There are many singular names of streets, &c., in -Shrewsbury, which I should be glad if any of your correspondents can -interpret, such as "Mardol," "Shop latch," "Bispestanes," and "Dogpole;" -also the derivation of "Shut" in the sense of _passage_ or entry, a -synonym with the Liverpool "Wient," which seems equally uncertain. - - [Greek: Bolis.] - - - - -Miscellaneous. - - -NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. - -If it be true, as we are inclined to believe, that there is no one -subject in the whole wide range of speculative studies, to which the -well-worn saying of Hamlet, that there are more things true than are -dreamt of in our philosophy, may be applied with so much propriety as -Animal Magnetism,--so we are also inclined to believe that a perusal of -the two volumes recently published by Mr. Colquhoun under the title of -_An History of Magic, Witchcraft, and Animal Magnetism_, will tend to -convince our readers that to the same subject may be applied the yet -older saying, that there is nothing new under the sun. Mr. Colquhoun, -who many years since published his _Isis Revelata_, has long been a -diligent inquirer into the nature and origin of the different phenomena -of animal magnetism; and it would appear from the work before us, he has -also been a persevering reader of all the various accounts of magic, -witchcraft, and other so-called popular delusions, recorded by the -writers of antiquity, and the chroniclers of the middle ages; as well as -of those more modern mysteries (such as the Gustavus Adolphus Story, -the Death of Ganganelli, &c.) which seem to increase in interest just in -proportion as they approach to our own _more enlightened_ days. As in -all the extraordinary tales which he brings forward, our author sees -only manifestations of well-known mesmeric phenomena, it may well be -imagined that, in recording the result of these examinations and -studies, he has probed two volumes which, if they do not satisfy all our -requirements upon the subject, will be found of most considerable -interest, not only to all who believe in Animal Magnetism, but to all -who care to investigate the nature of the human mind, its organization, -and the laws which govern its action. - -The success which has attended the publication of Mr. Buckley's -translation of _The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent_, and the -approbation bestowed upon that work by several of the highest -dignitaries of the English Church, have led him to publish _The -Catechism of the Council of Trent translated into English with Notes_; -and there can be little doubt, from the anxiety which now exists to -learn, from sources which cannot be disputed, both the points on which -we differ from Rome, and those on which we agree with Rome, that the -success which followed Mr. Buckley's translation of the Decrees will be -extended to his English version of the _Catechism of the Council of -Trent_. - -BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Pathway of the Fawn, a Tale of the New Year_, by -Mrs. T.K.
