Mogunt. 1486), is -believed to be the first book of travels that was printed. Having by me -notes of five works printed earlier than that of Breydenbach just -mentioned,--and all of these, with one exception, being Pilgrimages to -the Holy Land,--I forward them for publication in "N. & Q.," and -probably some of your correspondents may be able to add to the list. - -1. _Ludolf von Suchen ("Ludolphus parochialis ecclesiæ in Suchen -rector"), De terra sancta et itinere Jhierosolymitano._--Three undated -editions, but in all probability printed before 1480, are mentioned in -Brunet's _Manuel du Libraire_. A German translation, entitled, _Von dem -gelobten Land vnd Weg gegen Iherusalem_, was published at Augsburg in -1477 in 4to. The author travelled about the year 1340. "His journal," -observes Dr. Robinson (_Biblical Researches in Palestine_, iii. p. 11.), -"is written with great simplicity, and has something of the marvellous; -but is decidedly the best itinerary of the fourteenth century." - -2. _Marco Polo_, the celebrated Eastern traveller, wrote an account of -his peregrinations in Italian, about the year 1300. A German translation -was printed at Nuremberg as early as 1477, with the following title: -_Hie hebt sich an das Puch des edeln Ritters vnd Landtfarers Marcho -Polo; in dem er schreibt die grossen wunderlichen Ding dieser Welt_. (In -folio.) - -3. _Sir John Mandeville._ Both French and Italian editions of the -well-known "Marvaylous Travailes" of this worthy knight were printed in -1480. (See Brunet _ut supr._) - -4. _Santo Brasca_, a gentleman of Milan, made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem -in 1480, of which he wrote a journal in Italian, and published it the -following year at Milan. Brunet gives the title as follows: _Tutto il -suo Itinerario di giorno in giorno al sanctissima cita di Jerusalem -nell' anno 1480_, 4to. This is a very curious and rare book, written in -simple and natural style; and at the end of which are "Instructioni a -ciascuno che desidra fare questo sanctissimo viagio," and two prayers in -verse: "1. Oratione per sancto brascha fatta a piedi nudi in Monte -Calvario a di 29 Julij, 1480: 2. Oratione facta in la vale de Josaphat a -la sepultura de la Vergene Maria." - -5. _Johann_ or _Hans Tucher_, a counsellor (_Rathsherr_) of Nuremberg, -undertook a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Mount Sinai in the year 1479, in -company with Balthasar, Duke of Mecklenburg, and two of his -fellow-citizens. The title of his itinerary in Brunet is, _Wallfart und -Reise in das gelobte Land_. Such was its popularity that it passed -through two editions in the same year (1482); the one appearing at -Augsburg, in folio; the other, corrected by the author, at Nuremberg, in -4to. (Vide Will's _Nürnbergisches Gelehrten-Lexicon_.) The work is, -however, very rare. In it full directions are given for the guidance of -all such as might thereafter be disposed to venture forth with scrip and -staff on these pious but somewhat perilous expeditions. - -Referring again to Breydenbach, Dr. Kitto (no mean authority) is of -opinion that the account which goes under his name was written by the -Dominican monk Felix Faber, who was Breydenbach's secretary and -companion in the journey. (See Kitto's _Physical History of Palestine_, -p. 9.) - - PEREGRINE A. - - -SURNAMES. - -The subject of surnames has more than once been referred to in the pages -of "N. & Q.," and it may assist those of your readers who have -investigated the question of their origin and use, to offer them the -following examples of peculiar forms of personal designation which occur -in certain of the more ancient public muniments of the city of Norwich. - -It is the opinion of Camden, Du Cange, Pegge, Sharon Turner, and other -writers, that the custom of appropriating a permanent appellation to -particular families, became fully established in this country at the -period (sooner or later) of the Norman Conquest. The instances, however, -exhibited below, prove that such custom was not, at any rate, -universally prevalent at that time amongst us. And, indeed, whatever -might have been the case in reference to "the high men of the lond," it -is very certain that surnames, properly so called, were not completely -adopted by the mass of the people until the close of the fourteenth -century. - -But as the intention of this Note is simply to adduce original examples -of individual designations, without inquiring into the circumstances -attending their acquisition, or pointing to the causes, obvious enough -for the most part, to which their various after-changes and -modifications are to be attributed, the subject calls for no other -general remark, except, perhaps, as to the prefixes "Le"[1] and "De," -which, it may be noticed in passing, are, though not _constantly_, as is -commonly asserted, attached to names in records of an older date than -the time of Edward IV., when they began to fall into desuetude. - - [Footnote 1: This prefix was occasionally in Cheshire, and in the - North with few exceptions, contracted into "A," as Thomas à - Becket, Thomas à Dutton, &c.] - -With these introductory observations are now given, from the source -above indicated,-- - -I.

Examples of changes in the form of particular designations: - -Between 1332 and 1348 the name borne by the famous knight, Sir Rob. de -Salle, commemorated by Froissart, and who was killed by the insurgents -near Norwich in 1381, is severally written, de la Sale, de Salle, de -Aula, de la S'aule, de Halle, Saul, and Halle. - -In temps.

In many of the remote valleys, -indeed, of the North of England, a more comprehensive reply might be -given than that which the unsuccessful gaberlunyie woman, mentioned by -Sir W. Scott, received in a certain Scottish dale, when, in the -bitterness of her disappointment, she exclaimed, "Are there no -Christians here?" and was answered, "Christians! nae; we be a' Elliots -and Armstrongs!" So--but certainly not under like circumstances--it -might be replied, "We're a' Meccas (Ang.

We have no good work on surnames, as -those of Lower and others do not go sufficiently into the subject to -satisfy the curiosity of those who wish to know the origin and date of -the names in use among us. A work of some study and research, giving all -the names in use at present in the country, and showing when they were -first adopted or brought into the country, with the changes that have -been made in them, would be very interesting, and as worthy, if not more -so, than many that are brought before the public. - - J. H. - -P.S.--I would suggest that the names should be classed in the different -periods of history, beginning with the Britons. - - -LICENSE TO MAKE MALT IN 1596. - -Among the old family deeds relating to the manor of Wishanger, I find -the following curious and interesting document. It affords evidence that -in 1596 there was a dearth of corn which was general through the -kingdom; that barley was then much used for bread; that there was a -custom, either general, or occasioned by the scarcity, that the poor -should be served in open market, at an accustomed hour; that one of the -means relied upon to supply food to the people was to restrain the -making of malt; and, therefore, that malt liquor must have been very -generally consumed by our forefathers at that time. - -The writing is in perfect preservation, and the ink jet black. - -I give it in the original orthography, according to the literature of -those easy times when every man spelled that that was right in his own -eyes and the world was little troubled with dictionaries or critics. - - JULIUS PARTRIGE. - - Birmingham. - - "Glou'r.--Wee, her Ma'ts Justices of the Peace within this - Countey, whose names are hereunder writen accordinge to the late - orders publyshed by her Ma'tie and the Lo. of her most honorable - privye Counsell for and concerninge the dearth of corne and - graine, and for the better effectinge whereof we have taken - recognizance of all such as shall make any malte, what quantitye - they shall make, and where they shall buy it, and when, and to - sell the same soe by them converted into malte in the open markett - next unto them adioining, and for that none can soe doe without he - be thereunto especially licenssed by us and p'esented by the Jury - Have therefore licenssed and by these p'sents doe licensse the - Bearer hereof Georg Fowler of Hibley to convert into Malte one - quarter weekly and to buy the same Barley soe by him to be - converted in the any the next Mkett Towne unto him adioininge and - that one houre after the poor shall be served at the least. - praying yo'se to whom it shall and may appertaine quietly to pmitt - and suffer him soe to doe w'hout anye of yo'r lette interupcion or - molestation the said Georg Fowler comitinge nothing to the hdance - of our last orders only (these[2]) psnts in execution. - - "In Witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names the - fourthe of December in the nine and thirtiethe year of the raigne - of our Sovraigne lady Elizabethe by the grace of God of England - Fraunce and Ireland Queene Defender of the ffaith A.D. 1596. - - "H.

Speaking of -the same bishop, Florentius de Wevelichoven, he says: - - "Fecit et exhumari ossa cujusdam hæretici Matthæi Lollaert atque - ante atrium Pontificale comburi, cineresque in fossas urbis - dispergi."--_Hist. Episcopor. Ultraject._ p. 259. - -Now though the Christian name, _Matthæus_, of this Lollaert does not -agree with that usually assigned to Lollard, viz., _Walter_; nor yet -this assertion that his bones were dug up, and burned at Utrecht, with -the current story that Lollard was buried alive at Cologne; yet it is -evident from the note upon this passage on p. 263., that Heda is -speaking of the founder of the sect of the Lollards. In this note he -refers to Prateolus and Walsingham, to which I turned in order to -ascertain where he got his information; but, alas, in vain! They only -give a very meagre account of the origin of the Lollards. Heda must -therefore have had some independent source from which he wrote, as he -could hardly have invented the story. The form of name, _Lollaert_, -would make it more than probable that Lollard was a Dutchman, which -agrees very well with the account that he preached in Germany. - -How much is it to be wished that some member of the many learned Dutch -Antiquarian Societies now in existence, would endeavour _at last_ to -clear up the history of Lollard by reference to the records of the city -of Utrecht, if they are still in being, and extend so far back as the -fourteenth century. - -Florentius became Bishop of Utrecht in 1379, and died 1394. - - J.

An antiquary of -that county considers this a relic of Roman paganism, connected with the -worship of Bona Dea. Query, is this so elsewhere? - - C. S.

In this -neighbourhood (Chailey) the custom of wassailing the orchards still -remains. It is called apple-howling. A troop of boys visit the different -orchards, and encircling the apple-trees they repeat the following -words: - - "Stand fast root, bear well top, - Pray the God send us a good howling crop. - Every twig, apples big, - Every bough, apples enow. - Hats full, caps full, - Full quarters, sacks full." - -They then shout in chorus, one of the boys accompanying them on the -cow's horn; during this ceremony they rap the trees with their sticks. -This custom is alluded to in Herrick's _Hesperides_, p. 311. - - "Wassail the trees that they may beare - You, many a plum, and many a peare, - For more or less fruits they will bring, - As you do give them _wassailing_." - - R.

You are doing good service by collecting and recording some of -those that are fast disappearing. In this neighbourhood I know ladies -who consider it "lucky" to find _old iron_; a horse shoe or a rusty nail -is carefully conveyed home and hoarded up. It is also considered lucky -if you see the _head_ of the first lamb in spring; to present his _tail_ -is the certain harbinger of misfortune. It is also said that if you have -money in your pocket the first time you hear the cuckoo, you will never -be without all the year. The magpie is a well-known bird of omen. The -following lines were familiar when I was a boy: - - "One for sorrow, two for mirth, - Three for a wedding, four for death; - Five for a fiddle, six for a dance, - Seven for England, eight for France." - - T.

Jun. may not be -aware that an experiment somewhat similar to these is practised in the -Isle of Man. The operator holds a thread between the finger and thumb, -with a shilling fixed horizontally to it, gradually drops the shilling -into a glass, and after it has once become stationary, the shilling -begins to oscillate, and, as the superstition goes, invariably strikes -the hour of the day against the glass. I have frequently practised it, -and consider the motive power to be the pulse, which is completely under -the operator's control. This performance has been known in the Isle of -Man certainly more than a century, and bears a resemblance to the -experiments of Mayo and Reichenbach with the Od Force, or the vagaries -of the Magnetoscope. - -Perhaps some of your correspondents can instance cases and tricks of -this kind of much earlier date. - - AGMOND. - - -Minor Notes. - -_Rhymes connected with Places._--There are many villages in England, the -names of which have old traditionary couplets attached to them, -illustrating some natural or other peculiarity; some such have already -incidentally found their way into the pages of "N. & Q."

I send, as a beginning, two Staffordshire villages in my immediate -neighbourhood, which are very characteristically described.

Fairfax; which book -Charles I. had ransomed from Rome by a considerable sum of money: and it -is certain Archbishop Spottiswood had it and the _Black Book of -Paisley_, signed by three abbots, when he compiled his _History_, which, -with the famous _Red Book of Pluscardine_, Buchanan says he had, and -frequently cites.--Sir George Mackenzie's _Defence of the Antiquity of -the Royal Line of Scotland_; and also _Lives of Scotch Writers_. - -The fate of the _Black Book of Scone_ may be a clue to the inquirer -after the _Black Book of Paisley_. It is not now in the library at -Spottiswood; and most of Sir Robert Spottiswood's property was pillaged -and ransacked during his imprisonment. - - L. M. M.

The -members of the family were assembled for evening prayer, when suddenly -music, resembling that of an Æolian harp, was heard, produced apparently -by some person upon the lawn immediately beneath the window. As soon as -the prayers were concluded I opened the hall door, and was greatly -surprised to find the musician had departed. On returning to the -drawing-room I was informed that the moment I had left the room the -music ceased. Believing that some village friend had come to serenade -us, we drew our chairs round the fire in expectation of his return. A -few minutes only elapsed when the music was again distinctly heard. A -second visit was made to the hall door, but with no better success. It -was then resolved to open the shutters, which was no sooner done than -the mystery was clearly explained. During the day a pane of glass had -been cracked, and the music was produced by the two pieces of glass -vibrating against each other. We found, from repeated experiments, that -it required the atmosphere of the room to be at rather a high -temperature to produce the effect, for the moment the door, or one of -the other windows, was opened, the vibration ceased. I have only to add -that the music was very pleasing to the ear, and consisted of rapid -cadences. I have often mentioned the circumstance, but I never found any -one who had met with a similar _musical fracture_. - - M.

Is there any list extant of the Prothonotaries of the Supreme Courts -of Judicature from the time of Edward III. downwards, or any source from -which their names could be obtained? Was John Hayward a prothonotary of -one of the courts in Edward III.'s time, or during the reign immediately -following? or can any information be furnished about a lawyer of that -name about that time? - -2. Is anything known of a place called "Schypmen Hall" existing in -London or elsewhere in the time of Edward IV.? - -3. When did "Mr. Goldsborough, one of the Prothonotaries of the Common -Banke," flourish? - -4. Is anything known of Traherne, said to have been reader at Lincoln's -Inn temp. Hen.

G. - - -TOWN HALLS. - -I have to thank two of your correspondents for their Notes in answer to -my Query respecting mediæval towns built on a regular plan in England. -They have reminded me of Hull and Wokingham, with both which places I -was previously acquainted; neither of them is by any means of the same -regular and perfect plan as the English towns in France, but they -approximate to it in some degree; and I am not the less obliged for -being reminded of them. My success in this instance encourages me to -trouble you with another Query. Can any of your correspondents furnish -me with information respecting any mediæval town halls remaining in -England? I am acquainted with several, but believe there are many more -than is commonly supposed. Some of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries -are mentioned in Mr. Turner's work on _Domestic Architecture_, as the -County Hall at Oakham; the Guildhall at Lincoln; the King's Hall at -Winchester. In addition to these, the Guildhall at Exeter is partly of -the thirteenth century, and partly of the fifteenth. The old Town Hall -at Colchester of the twelfth has, I believe, been destroyed within these -few years. The Town Hall at Winchelsea is of the time of Edward I., -though mutilated. The Town Hall at Aldborough is of the fifteenth -century, or earlier. The hall of St. Mary's Guild at Coventry is a -well-known and beautiful example. The Town Hall of Weobly in -Herefordshire is, if I remember rightly, an early example of timber -work. These are a few instances which occur to my memory. I have no -doubt there are many others; and, as the subject is one of considerable -interest, perhaps you will not object to assist me in collecting -information upon it. You will observe that I include under the general -name of Town Halls all public halls, whether called by that name or by -any other. I am aware that they do not all belong to the same class, -strictly speaking; but I should be glad to know of other examples of any -of them. - - J. H.

It is supposed that the persecuted Templars betook -themselves to the Freemasons' lodges, and secured their protection. The -two orders became closely connected, the succession of Grand Masters -kept up, and the ritual of the Templars preserved. There is a French -order of Knights Templars, which claims direct succession from Jacques -de Molay, the last Grand Master of the original order; but the -Freemasons say that this is a spurious body, and that the only -legitimate claimants to representation of this once powerful order are -the Freemasons. - -I shall be glad if any of your readers can give such information as may -aid my inquiries into this subject; or if they can furnish me with the -titles of such works as are most likely to aid my researches. My object -is to trace the history of the order of Knights Templars subsequent to -the persecution and death of Jacques de Molay, and to ascertain the -correctness of the statements of those who profess to be the proper -representatives of the order. - - E.

I have read Mr. Duke's essay on the subject in -the _Prolusiones Historicæ_, but do not quite agree in his view of the -meaning which these singular paintings were intended to convey. Why -should this saint, of whom so little is correctly known and of whom -Alban Butler gives a very scanty account, occupy such a very important -position in the iconography of the mediæval church, and which it appears -has not been maintained by the Roman Catholics of the present day? I am -quite aware of the doggrel lines occasionally found underneath these -representations, ascribing extraordinary powers of cure to the picture -when looked upon by the faithful; but I cannot think that this reason -alone would have led to the adoption of this extraordinary -representation in almost all our parish churches.

This union of what I -apprehend to be the royal and plebeian flowers, would seem to indicate -that the husband was merely a "roturier;" and, indeed, the "horn" itself -may point to his occupation, as it is the simple hunting instrument of -the time. - -Arnold Bilson after his marriage left Germany, and settled in England. - - T.

So little has -been recorded of his personal history, that every item which can be -gleaned is valuable. It is certainly strange that no proper memoir of -one so distinguished in arms as Wolfe has yet been written. His career, -though short, was brilliant and embraces a period of time, as well as -events, which would render a sketch of his life, by a competent writer, -singularly interesting. Materials do not seem wanting; the detached -pieces of information, and references to sources where more may be -obtained, which have already appeared in "N. & Q." since I ventured to -start the subject in October last, indicate, that with a little industry -and research in proper quarters, Wolfe's history can yet be written to -advantage. England's young hero has, in this respect, been too much -neglected. Surely this national reproach will not be allowed to -continue. - -In the _Gentleman's Magazine_ for January last, there is a very -interesting letter from Wolfe to a young officer on the subject of -military studies, supplied from the rich MS. stores of Mr. Robert Cole. -I am enabled to contribute the fragment of another letter from Wolfe, -also to a very young officer, pointing out how he ought to conduct -himself on entering the army. This fragment was discovered within these -few weeks, in the same old military chest where the twelve letters in -my possession were found, to which I formerly alluded. This fragment, -though neither dated, signed, nor addressed, is in Wolfe's handwriting -beyond all doubt. I have compared it with his other letters, and not -only do I find the resemblance perfect, but the paper on which the -fragment is written is identically the same with several of these -letters, the water-mark being the very appropriate one for a soldier, -"pro _patria_." This newly discovered portion of Wolfe's letter is -written closely on two pages of a sheet of post paper; and from -circumstances I am inclined to think the date must have been in the end -of 1757, when he was at Blackheath, soon after his return from the -descent on Rochefort, in which he held a command. I am unable, however, -to point out the name of the young officer for whose advantage the -fragmentary epistle was written; but he was evidently one in whose -welfare Wolfe took much interest, and intimate in Wolfe's family. The -introductory words, "_Dear Huty_," seem to be an affectionate -abbreviation of the young gentleman's surname; but how the fragment came -amongst the papers of Wolfe's other friend, Lieut.-Col. Rickson, to whom -the whole of the twelve letters in my possession are addressed, I cannot -at present say. Here is an exact copy, viz.: - - "Dear Huty, - - "By a Letter from my Mother I find you are now an officer in Lord - Chs. Hay's Regiment, which I heartily give you Joy of, and as I - sincerely wish you success in Life, you will give me Leave to give - you a few Hints which may be of use to you in it. The Field you - are going into is quite new to you, but may be trod very safely, - and soon made known to you, if you only get into it by the proper - Entrance. I make no doubt but you have entirely laid aside the Boy - and all Boyish amusements, and have considered yourself as a young - man going into a manly profession, where you must be answerable - for your own conduct. Your character in life must be that of a - Soldier, and a Gentleman: the first is to be acquired by - application and attendance on your duty; the second, by adhering - most strictly to the Dictates of Honour, and the Rules of Good - Breeding. To be more particular in each of these points; when you - join your Regiment, if there are any Officer's Guard mounted, be - sure constantly to attend the Parade, observe carefully the manner - of the officers taking their Posts, the exercise of their - Espontoon, &c.; when the Guard is marched off from the Parade, - attend it to the Place of Relief, and observe the manner and form - of Relieving, and when you return to your chamber (which should be - as soon as you cou'd, lest what you saw slip out of your Memory), - consult Bland's Military Discipline on that Head; this will be the - readiest method of learning this part of your Duty, which is what - you will be the soonest call'd on to perform. - - "When off Duty get a Serg't or a Corporal, whom the Adjutant will - recommend to you, to teach you the Exercise of the Firelock, which - I beg of you to make yourself as much master of as if you were a - simple soldier; the exact and nice knowledge of this will readily - bring you to understand all other parts of your Duty, make you a - proper judge of the performance of the Men, and qualify you for - the post of an Adjutant, and in time many other employments of - Credit. When you are posted to your Company, take care that the - Sergeants or Corporals constantly bring you the orders; treat - those officers with kindness, but keep them at a Distance, so will - you be beloved and respected by them; read your orders with - attention, and if anything in particular concerns yourself, put it - down in your Memorandum Book, which I wou'd have you constantly in - your Pocket ready for any Remarks; be sure to attend constantly - morning and evening the Roll Calling of the Company, watch - carefully the Absentees, and enquire into reasons for their being - so, and particularly be watchfull they do not endeavour to impose - on you sham Excuses, which they are apt to do with young officers, - but will be deterr'd from it by a proper severity in detecting - them;----" - -Here, unfortunately, the remainder of the sheet has been torn off, and -the continuation of the excellent precepts it no doubt contained, is -irretrievably lost. Enough has luckily been preserved to show what an -admirably disciplined soldier mind Wolfe possessed, taken in conjunction -with the outline of military reading, pointed out in the letter -contributed by Mr. Cole, already alluded to, and written with the same -kindly object (the instruction of youthful officers), probably only a -few months prior to the date of the mutilated one. - -As it may be thought desirable to say something more than I have done, -regarding the packet of Wolfe's letters in my custody, I beg to state -that the officer to whom they are all addressed, was William Rickson, a -native of Pembroke. He was eight years older than Wolfe. They appear to -have served together in Flanders. Both were at the battle of Dettigen, -and their names appear in the list of promotions consequent on that -victory. Rickson and young Wolfe were also in the same regiment, -commanded by Wolfe's father, in Flanders. I think it was then known as -"Onslows." Both father and son appear to have felt a strong attachment -to Rickson: this appears from the letters. On the part of James Wolfe in -particular, this attachment was of the most ardent description. In one -letter, dated Banff (Scotland), 9th June, 1751, he thus writes to -Rickson: - - "I believe that no man can have a sincerer regard for you than - myself, nor can any man wish to serve and assist you with more - ardour;" and "Attachments between men of certain characters do - generally arise from something alike in their natures, and should - never fall from a certain degree of firmness, that makes them the - same all the world over, and incapable of any diminution. I have - (as you justly acknowledge) a perseverance in friendship, that - time, nor distance, nor circumstance, can defeat,--nay, even - neglect can hardly conquer it; and you are just as warm and as - near me in North America as you would be upon the spot." - -Rickson survived Wolfe eleven years, and I possess the key of the tomb -in which his remains repose in Restalrig churchyard, near Edinburgh. A -fine miniature of him in his antique regimentals also exists; and it is -interesting to contemplate the lineaments of a countenance so familiar -to Wolfe, and of a man to whom the latter seems to have communicated his -inmost thoughts. There are passages in the letters indicative of this to -a degree, that I felt bound in honour not to disclose. Rickson died a -lieutenant-colonel in 1770. His antique military chest remained in -possession of relatives in Scotland almost forgotten, till about three -years ago curiosity prompted the examination of a mass of old papers, -covered with dust, lying at the bottom of it. A number of curious -documents have thus been brought to light, including a file of letters -to Rickson from the Duke of Queensbury (under whose auspices he -constructed the military roads in Gallowayshire) and other distinguished -personages of the last century, but best of all twelve invaluable -letters from the lamented Wolfe, tied up by themselves, probably by -Rickson, as memorials of his bosom friend who fell in the arms of -victory. It was, as already said, among these old papers that the -fragment of the letter above quoted was also found lately, on a more -careful inspection of the antique chest in which they lay. I was so much -struck with the noble sentiments expressed by Wolfe in the letters, that -I ventured to write a short sketch of him from very imperfect materials, -which appeared, along with the letters themselves, _ad longam_, in -Tait's _Edinburgh Magazine_ for December, 1849. Had I been aware of some -of the facts which have since been contributed to the "N. & Q.," I would -have modified certain passages in the narrative. All I aimed at, -however, was merely to elucidate the letters which accident placed in my -custody. But I now earnestly invite some competent writer to rescue -Wolfe's history from the undeserved neglect and obscurity in which it is -at present shrouded. I shall cheerfully allow any such party access to -the whole letters, under proper guards for their safety, and my address -has been left with the Editor accordingly. - - [Gh.] - - Glasgow. - - -EARL OF CHEPSTOW. - -(Vol. v., pp. 126. 204. 261.) - -The seeming difficulty regarded in these communications arises from -Hooker's unauthorised translation of "Comes Strigulensis" into "Earl of -Chepsto_ne_," and in a phrase of ancient parlance appearing a Title of -Dignity. The error does not exist in the original work, as Giraldus -wrote "Dermutius Morchardi filius, Lagenensium Princeps, _Ricardo Comiti -Strigulensi, Gilleberti Comitis filio_, S."--Camden's _Anglica_, &c., p. -767. - -The town, called in later times _Chepstow_ by the English, and sometimes -_Cas Gwent_, or _Castell Gwent_, by the Welsh, is clearly _Strigul_ (as -shown in Lhwyd's _Commentariolum_, p. 102. edit. 1731, and -_Archæologia_, vol. xxix. p. 31.); but these names are not precisely -equivalent. In early documents the Town, Vill, or Burgh is thus -variously named, and the style of the present Court Baron is, "the -Honour of Chepstow, _alias_ Striguil;" but in old charters and -chronicles the Lordship Marcher, the castle, and the honorary -description of its lords, are usually designated by the word "Strigul" -(variously written) only; and of this "Hooker _alias_ Vowell" was -perhaps ignorant. Giraldus himself is correct, as shown above. - -As to the style of "Earl of Strigul," Dugdale admits the use of it by -Richard Fitz-Gilbert, who occurs as "Comes Strigulensis" above, and as -"Ricardus Comes de Striguil Dermuciigener," in Ralph de Diceto (p. -590.). His descendant Gilbert Marescall is also termed "Counte de -Strogoile" in the petition of Margaret, daughter of Thomas de -Brotherton, at the coronation of Richard II. (Vincent's _Corrections_, -p. 345.) There is a stronger instance in Selden's _Titles of Honour_ (p. -617. edit. 1631), correctly cited from Hoveden, and mentioning the fact -of William Marshall and Geoffrey Fitz-Peter being severally girded -"_gladio Comitatus de Striguil_ et gladio Comitatus de Essex," at the -coronation of King John, with remarks on their previous rank as earls, -their administration of earldoms, but their non-investiture, and their -sitting at the royal table in consequence of this investiture. - -Nevertheless, it is laid down in the third _Report on the Dignity of a -Peer_, p. 146., that such expressions are to be considered vague. It -refers, for instance, any description of Roger de Montegomeri, as Earl -of Arundel (if such exists), to _residence_; adding, "that is, he was an -earl, and from his _residence_ was denominated Earl of Arundel, _as the -Earls of Pembroke were denominated Earls of Strigul_, a castle which -appears to have been built by William Fitz-Osborn, Earl of Hereford, and -which had _no connexion_ with the county of Pembroke." - -As to the immediate parentage of Earl Richard Fitz-Gilbert, proof will -be readily found in the Foundation Charters of St. Neot's Priory and -Tintern Abbey, in Gorham's _St. Neot's_, p. cv.; _Monasticon_, vol. v. -p. 267. - - GEO.

I should mention that there is also in the same -church another monument of a bishop (as is shown by the still -distinguishable mitre and crozier), which is also stated to be his. I -have been informed that where a monument was surmounted by a -representation of an emaciated corpse (emblematic of the poverty of -spirit in which the original was supposed to live and die), it was usual -to erect a second effigy, representing the departed as he actually -appeared to his fellow men. This last sentence I must however put in the -form of a Query, in the hope that some of your correspondents may answer -it with special reference to the supposed tomb, or tombs, of Bishop -Tully? - - SELEUCUS. - -There are two monuments of the description respecting which BURIENSIS -desires information in the county of Devon. One against the south wall -of the chancel of Feniton Church, is an elegant altar tomb ornamented -with quatrefoils, on which lies the effigy in a shroud, tied at the head -and feet. This may be assigned to the thirteenth century, but nothing -appears to indicate whether it is the monument of a priest or of one of -the Malherbe family, who were the lords of the soil. The other similar -monument is in the north aisle of the choir of Exeter Cathedral, and is -of later date. The skeleton figure lies on a slab in a recess under an -obtuse arch, all highly decorated with tracery, panels, and foliage. -This is said to be to the memory of Canon Parkhouse, buried in 1540. See -_Gough. Sepulch. Mon._ Introd. p. 111.; and Britton's _Exeter -Cathedral_, p. 139., and plate xxii. - - J. D. S. - -In the north aisle of Exeter Cathedral there is an instance similar to -that mentioned by your correspondent, BURIENSIS, of a monument with the -figure of a human skeleton lying at full length on a winding sheet. The -following inscription is over the arch: - - "Ista figura docet: nos omnes premeditari - Qualiter ipsa nocet: mors quando venit dominari." - -Tradition ascribes it to Bishop Lacy's tomb, and the vergers even at the -present day inform visitors that it was erected to commemorate his -attempt to fast during Lent. It is an exquisite piece of work. An -engraving of it may be found in Britton's _Exeter Cathedral_. I have -heard that there is a similar monument in Salisbury Cathedral, and it -appears probable, from there being more than one, that it was a -favourite device to represent the instability of human grandeur. - - EXONIENSIS. - -There is a tradition similar to that related by BURIENSIS, and alike -unfounded, concerning Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln, who is buried on the -north side of the choir of Lincoln cathedral in a chapel of his own -foundation. On the floor is an image of a decayed skeleton-like body; on -the tomb above, his effigy arrayed in his episcopal robes. - - K. P. D. E. - -I would remind your correspondent BURIENSIS of the splendid monument in -Winchester cathedral, beneath which are deposited the remains of Richard -Fox, Bishop of Winchester, and founder of Corpus Christi College, -Oxford, who died here on the 14th of September, 1528. In an oblong -niche, under the third arch, lies the figure of Bishop Fox, represented -as an emaciated corpse in a winding-sheet, with his feet resting on a -skull. It is a tradition of the vergers that he died whilst endeavouring -to imitate the example of Our Lord by a fast of forty days. - -The figure of Stephen Gardiner, Bishop of Winchester, is also -represented, like that of Fox, as a skeleton; and the same tale of a -forty days' fast traditionally delivered by the same authorities. - - E.

In Australia a hot wind blowing -from the north caused (in part at least) by bush fires in the interior, -is invariably succeeded by rain from the opposite part. - -It would not be difficult, perhaps, to assign a satisfactory reason for -a meteorological fact, which by a misnomer is dubbed "Folk Lore." - - W. C. - -It is believed in the neighbourhood of Melrose that burning the heather -brings rain. - -It must be remarked that Tweeddale runs mainly west and east; that the -heather-covered hills are all to the _west_ of this place. West wind -brings rain. - - [+] - -In the north of England, and in Scotland, and probably in all moorland -districts of the country, it is the practice of shepherds in spring, -when the heather is dry enough, to set fire to it and burn large tracts -of it, in order to get rid of the old woody plants. The young heather -which springs up from the roots produces much better and more palatable -food for the sheep. In this process, which takes place at the same time -in a whole district (viz. when there has been no rain for some time), -the whole air becomes loaded with smoke, and a very misty state of the -atmosphere is produced. It is the general belief throughout the south of -Scotland and in the Cheviot range, that this burning "doth draw downe -rain." - -Luckily this season, though there has been much moor burning, the -general expectation has been agreeably disappointed, and the weather has -now continued perfectly dry for several weeks, and appears likely to do -so for some time to come, to the great delight of the farmers, as most -propitious for sowing their grain of all kinds. - - J. SS. - - Lammermuir. - - -THE FISH CALLED "VENDACE." - -(Vol. iii., p. 301.) - -A short time since, an eminent naturalist directed my attention to -Yarrell's _History of British Fishes_ (2 vols. 8vo. 1836, and -_Supplement_, 1839), with reference to this curious fish. - -Mr. Yarrell does not attempt to identify the vendace with any foreign -species, nor to answer the question, who introduced them in Lochmaben? -However, his account of the other species of the genus _Coregonus_ in -Great Britain is well worth giving. - -The species of the genus _Coregonus_ are numerous in Europe, and several -of them are so similar to each other that they are often confounded. - - "Some writers have even considered the Vendisse of Lochmaben as - the same with the _Powan_ of [Loch Lomond] Perthshire, the - _Schelly_ of Cumberland, the _Gwyniad_ of Wales, and the _Pollan_ - of Ireland. This is not the case, for the Pollan of Ireland is - distinct from the two species of _Coregonus_ found in Great - Britain." - - "The _Gwyniad_ is very numerous in Ulswater and other large lakes - of Cumberland, where on account of its large scales it is called - the _Schelly_. The fish is not unlike a herring in appearance; the - Welsh term _Gwyniad_ has reference to their silvery white colour." - -Izaak Walton notices it at the end of chap. xiii.: - - "Nor would I have you ignorant of a rare fish called a _Guiniad_," - &c. - -The _Pollan_ is principally found in Loch Neagh, also in Loch Derg and -Loch Erne. Mr. Thompson, of Belfast, says: - - "The habits of this fish do not, with the exception of having been - in some instances taken with the artificial fly, differ in any - marked respect from those of the Vendace of Scotland, or the - Gwyniad of Wales, and are in accordance with such species of - Continental Europe as are confined to inland waters, and of whose - history we have been so fully informed by Bloch." - -In 1835, Mr. Thompson published some observations on this species. The -earliest notice of it that he has seen, occurs, he says, in Harris's -_History of County Down_, 1744. - - "The Vendace or Vendis (_Coregonus Willughbii_); Vendace, - _Jardine_; Vangis and Juvangis, Penn, _Brit. Zool._, vol. iii. p. - 420.; Vendace, Knox, _Trans. R.S.E._, vol. xii. p. 503. - - "But little is known of this delicate fish," says Mr. Yarrell, - "beyond what has been published by Sir William Jardine, Bart., in - the 3rd volume of the _Edinb. Journal of Nat. and Geog. Science_, - and by Dr. Knox. The Vendace is only known in the lochs in the - neighbourhood of Lochmaben, in Dumfriesshire. Sir W. Jardine says, - 'The story that it was introduced into these lochs by the - unfortunate Mary, Queen of Scots, is mentioned by Pennant in his - description of the Gwyniad, (and it is likely that his information - was derived from this vicinity,) and is still in circulation. That - the fish was introduced from some continental lake, I have little - doubt, but would rather attribute the circumstance to some of the - religious establishments which at one time prevailed in the - neighbourhood, and which were well known to pay considerable - attention both to the table and cellar. The introduction must have - taken place by means of spawn: the fish themselves could not be - transported alive even a few miles. They are not confined to the - castle loch, but are found in several others, some of which have - no communication with that where they are thought peculiar. In - general habits, the Vendace nearly resemble the Gwyniad, and - indeed most of the allied species of the genus." - -Mr. Yarrell gives representations of two magnified specimens of their -food. - - JARLTZBERG. - - -MACARONIC POETRY. - -(Vol. v., p. 166.) - -Perhaps some of the correspondents of "N. & Q." who take an interest in -this style of composition are not acquainted with the two following -productions, which appeared at Oxford several years ago, the author of -the first being an accomplished first-class man, and, I think, a member -of Worcester College: - -1. "Viæ per Angliam ferro stratæ." (The Railroads); - -2. "Poema Canino-Anglico-Latinum, super adventu recenti serenissimarum -Principum." (The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria.) - -The perusal of MR. CORNISH'S curious communication (Vol. v., p. 251.) -also reminds me of the subjoined clever and amusing verses which were -written by a talented friend and schoolfellow, whose premature decease -occurred about two years ago, and which appear to be well worthy of -publication. It will be seen that the words, which are all Latin, are -quite unconnected and unmeaning, but when separated or united they -become converted into our own language, or rather into a mixture of -English and Irish. I have thought it absolutely necessary to annex a -key. - - MI MOLLE ANNI. - - _An Irish Ballad._ - - O pateo tulis aras cale fel O, - Hebetis vivis id, an sed "Aio puer vello!" - Vittis nox certias in erebo de nota olim,-- - A mite grate sinimus tonitis ovem: - "Præ sacer, do tellus, hausit," sese, - "Mi Molle anni cano te ver ægre?" - Ure Molle anu cano te ver ægre. - Vere truso aio puellis tento me; - Thrasonis plano "cum Hymen" (heu sedit), - "Diutius toga thyrso" Hymen edidit;-- - Sentior mari aget O mare nautis alter id alas! - Alludo isto terete ure daris pausas anas. - "O pater hic, heu vix en" ses Molle, and vi? - Heu itera vere grates troche in heri. - Ah Moliere arti fere procaciter intuitis! - Vos me! for de parte da vas ure arbuteis. - Thus thrasonis planas vel huma se, - Vi ure Molle anu cano te ver ægre. - Betæ Molle indulgent an suetas agile,-- - Pares pector sex, uno vimen ars ille; - "Quietat ure servis Jam," sato heras heu pater, - "Audio do missus Molle, an vatis thema ter? - Ara mi honestatis, vetabit, diu se,-- - O mare, mi dare, cum specto me: - Ago in a væ æstuare, vel uno more illic, - O mare, mi dare, cum pacto ure pater hic." - Beavi ad visu civile, an socia luse, - Ure Molle an huma fore ver ægre. - - _Key._ - - MY MOLLY AND I. - - O Paty O'Toole is a rascally fellow, - He beat his wife's head, and said, "I hope you are well, O!" - With his knocks, Sir, she has in her body not a whole limb,-- - A mighty great sin I must own it is of him. - "Pray say, Sir, do tell us, how is it," says he, - "My Molly and I cannot ever agree?" - Your Molly and you cannot ever agree: - Very true, so I hope you will listen to me; - The _rason_ is plain, "O come, Hymen" (you said it), - Do ye tie us togather. So Hymen he did it. - Since your marriage to Mary now 'tis alter'd, alas! - All you do is to _trate_ your dear spouse as an ass. - "O Patrick! you vixen," says Molly, and why? - You hit her a very great stroke in her eye. - Ah Molly! her heart I fear _proke_ as 'twere in two it is! - Woes me! for departed away sure her beauty is. - Thus the _rason_ is plain, as well you may see, - Why your Molly and you cannot ever agree. - Be to Molly indulgent and _swate_ as a jelly,-- - Pay respect to her sex, you know women are silly: - "Quite at your service, I am," say to her as you pat her, - "How d'ye do, Misses Molly, and what is the matter? - Arah, my honey! stay, 'tis, wait a bit, d'ye see;-- - O Mary, my _dary_, come _spake_ to me: - A-going away is't you are, well you no more I'll lick, - O Mary, my _dary_, come _pack_ to your Patrick." - Behave, I advise you, and so shall you see, - Your Molly and you may for ever agree. - - E.

Macdonald, Esq., since deceased, but then living in Hyde Park Square, -three miniatures, which were said to be by Cooper, of Cromwell and his -two daughters. The miniatures of the women were, I thought, stiff and -harsh; but that of their father (of which only the head was finished) -appeared to me to be the finest painting of the kind that I ever saw. I -examined it through a strong magnifying glass, when the face exhibited -all the truth and force of a portrait. A high value was set upon it; but -I do not know whether it was sold, or where it is. - - ALFRED GATTY. - - [We take this opportunity of stating that we have availed ourself - of General Fox's invitation, and examined the beautiful miniature - of Cromwell, described by him in our Number for the 6th instant, - and so considerately left by him at Colnaghi's, for the inspection - of all who are interested in the subject. The General having - placed beside it the volume of Carlyle's _Cromwell_, containing - the engraving from Cooper's miniature in the possession of - Archdeacon Berners, we are bound to agree with him that the - Archdeacon's may be "better painted;" but General Fox may - certainly congratulate himself upon being the possessor of a work - of very high art, as well as of great historical interest; and one - which we are extremely pleased to have had the opportunity of - examining. It will, we believe, remain on view until the 31st.] - -_The Vellum-bound Junius_ (Vol. iii., p. 262.).--Your correspondent MR. -HAGGARD tells us, that from the time he read the private correspondence -between Junius and Woodfall he has examined all book catalogues that -came in his way, in the hope of finding a copy, or the copy, "bound in -vellum"--so bound by Woodfall, for and at the express desire of Junius. -Of course the edition so bound was "the author's edition," as Junius -calls it, the edition of 1772, printed by H. J. Woodfall. At last, says -MR. HAGGARD, "_the long-wished-for object appeared at the Stowe sale_;" -but though, he bid eight pounds, he was not so fortunate as to obtain -it. Thus far all is simple and clear enough. But then MR. HAGGARD -subsequently informs us (Vol. iii., p. 307.) that the reason of his -"being so desirous to procure this copy" was, because it was "not only -bound in vellum, but was printed on that article"--that is, as I -understand it, because it was _not_ the copy bound by Woodfall for -Junius. I am at a loss to reconcile these statements. However, as I -observe by the periodicals that MR. HAGGARD'S first statement is getting -into circulation, and that it now assumes this form--that the -vellum-bound copy of Junius presented by Woodfall to Junius was sold at -the Stowe sale, I think it right to state, that the Stowe copy, printed -on and bound in vellum, was, as I am informed on good authority, not the -edition of 1772--not a Woodfall edition at all--but the common -illustrated edition, printed more than thirty years after, by Bensley, -for Vernor and Hood. - - V. B. J. - -_Sept_ (Vol. v., p. 277.).--Dr. Ogilvie's derivation is absurdly -far-fetched. _Sept_ is notoriously from the Latin _septus_ or _septum_, -_inclosed_, _an inclosure_, and it is applied to one kindred or family -living in or round the inclosure in which they herded their cattle. See -Spenser's _Ireland_; see also Cole's _Dictionary_: - - "SEPT, an inclosure; the multitude of the same name in Ireland." - -In ancient Rome certain classes of voters were called _Septs_, from the -_septa_ or _inclosures_ in which they were arranged. - - C. - -_Many Children_ (Vol. v., p. 204.).--I am indebted to the Rev. J. -Sanford, orderly preacher at the Rolls chapel, for the subjoined curious -statement, which you may add, if you please, to the instances of female -fecundity already recorded in your pages. - -The Marchese Frescobaldi, the representative of one of the most ancient -Florentine families, is still possessed of a portrait of his ancestress, -Dionora Salviati, wife of Bartolomeo Frescobaldi of the same house. She -gave birth to fifty-two children, never less than three at a time; and -there is a tradition in the family that she once had six, and that -twelve were reared. The portrait was painted by the celebrated Bronzino, -who died in 1570, and has recorded the remarkable circumstance in the -following inscription placed under the picture, and in some degree has -thus made himself responsible for the authenticity of the story:-- - - "Dionora Salviati moglie di Bartolomeo dei Frascobaldi, fece 52 - figli, e mai meno di tre per parto, come riferesce Gio. Schenzio - nei libri delle osservazioni amirabili, cioe nel libro quarto de - Parto a carta 144." - - BRAYBROOKE. - -Relative to extraordinary births, I may mention that within half a dozen -miles of this city, and not more than six weeks since, a poor woman gave -birth to four children, two of each sex, and all, with the mother, doing -well. Some millions are born without such, as I may term it, a -phenomenon. - -In a very late Brussells paper I find it stated, that in nine years the -wife of a tradesman had twenty-four children, three on each -delivery,--"chose désespérante (it is added) pour le mari, qui désirait -transmettre son nom, car c'étaient toutes des filles." Mercier, in his -_Tableau de Paris_ (1786) quotes _L'Histoire de l'Académie des Sciences_ -of the preceding century for a similar fact, where it is asserted that a -baker's wife had twenty-one children in seven years, three at each -birth, and that he had again three children at a birth by a servant -maid. - - J. R. (Cork) - -_Hog's Norton_ (Vol. v., p. 245.).--Your correspondent who writes from -Ashby-de-la-Zouch will, it is probable, be surprised to find that _Hog's -Norton_ is almost in his own immediate neighbourhood. In Curtis' -_Topographical History of Leicestershire_ (printed, by-the-bye, at -Ashby), he subjoins to the modern names of places the ancient names as -found in _Domesday Book_, Inquisitiones post mortem, &c. It appears that -_Norton juxta Twycross_ was in other days "Nortone, Hoggenortone, Hog's -Norton." There is, then, no doubt as to which of the many Nortons in -England is Hog's Norton: but whether there is now, or ever was, an organ -in the church; or whether a Mr. Pigge, or any number of _pigs_, played -on one there, I know not. - - S.

P., who -inquires in your last respecting the identity of a certain skull with -that of Oliver Cromwell, will find valuable information on the subject -in an article in the fifth volume of the _Dublin Quarterly Journal of -Medical Science_ (1848), entitled-- - - "Historical Notes concerning certain Illnesses, the Death, and - Dis-interment of Oliver Cromwell, by W. White Cooper, F.R.C.S." - -This article is very ably written, and throws much light on a vexed -question. - - ANTIQUARIUS. - - Athenæum. - -_Eliza Fenning_ (Vol. v., pp. 105. 161.).--It is long after the "N. & -Q." are published that I get sight of a number, or I should have urged -(what may probably have been already done) the very great importance of -obtaining from the workhouse, or wherever else in Suffolk or Essex it -can be obtained, an authentication of the report by Turner, that he was -the poisoner of the family in Chancery Lane, for which crime Eliza -Fenning was executed. One would hope that a question of so much and such -serious monument would not be permitted to remain undetermined, if by -any possibility it can be cleared up. - -I well knew the medical man who attended the case, and gave evidence at -the trial,--he was cruelly assailed afterwards by some who had taken a -prejudice against him, and no doubt suffered in his practice in -consequence. - - T.

There is a letter there from the English ambassador at Paris to -his Court, with an account of the Queen Dowager's visit to France: he -mentions that King Henry had been captivated by one of the ladies in -Mary's train, who, it was reported, was with child to him.

I am well aware of the cavern, or old copper mine, supposed to -have been worked by the Romans; but the place I inquire about is of a -different description, in every respect, and is only six feet across, -and eight or ten feet high, and fitted up as a place of worship, with a -font, altar, seats, &c. I hope some one who has seen it will be able yet -to throw some light on the subject. - - L. G.

P. PH***. - -_Nightingale and Thorn_ (Vol. iv., pp. 175. 242.; Vol. v., p. 39.).--The -origin of this fancy has not yet been reached. The earliest mention of -it that I have met with is by Gascoigne: - - "And thus I sing with pricke against my brest, - Like Philomene...."--_Steele Glas_, v. 145. - -Again, in _The Spanish Tragedy_: - - ... "Haply the gentle nightingale - Shall carol us asleep ere we be ware, - And, singing with the prickle at her breast, - Tell our delight." - -And in _The Two Noble Kinsmen_: - - "O for a pricke now like a nightingale, - To put my breast against."--_Act III.

Dr. -William Smith's _New Dictionary of Classical Geography_ may be expected -to supply the desideratum, in regard to places known to the Greeks and -Romans, but will not, I presume, take up all the names in Baudrand's -_Dictionary_. Its title-page reads as follows: - - "Novum Lexicon Geographicum, in quo universi orbis oppida, urbes, - regiones, provinciæ, regna, emporia, academiæ, metropoles, flumina - et maria, _antiquis et recentibus nominibus appellata_, suisque - distantiis descripta, recensentur.

Viterb., &c., appendices et correctiones: atque in has M. - A. Baudrand notæ." - -The work is very useful, but of course no longer new. It is in two thin -folios, and was printed at Eisenach in MDCLXXVII., by John Peter -Schmidt. - - O. T. D. - -_Gospel Trees_ (Vol. ii., p. 407.; Vol. v., p. 157.).--BURIENSIS, in a -recent Number, says that he has somewhere read of a tree called the -"Gospel Elm." May, in his _Guide to Stratford-upon-Avon_, published -about twenty years since, gives the following description of an elm, -which is probably the one referred to by your correspondent. After -describing the hamlet of Bishopton, he writes: - - "In varying our return to Stratford, pursuing thus the path along - the Henley road, we pass at the town's entrance the now decaying - 'Gospel Tree,' that still indicates the boundary of the borough in - this direction, towards the 'Dove house close.' In a perambulation - of the boundaries, made here on the 7th of April, 1591[3], this - elm--judging from its now decayed and weather-beaten aspect--is - the one there noted as seated on the boundary in this direction, - whence the line is therein stated as continuing, to 'the two elms - in Evesham highway.' Such a perambulation was anciently made - yearly, during Rogation week, by the clergy, magistrates, and - burgesses; not omitting, for evidence' sake, the boys of the - grammar school, who then doubtless received, as still is - customary, some _sensitive_ reminiscences of local - limitation."--May's _Guide to Stratford-upon-Avon_, p. 92. - - [Footnote 3: "Presentment" in the possession of R. Wheler, Esq.] - -The author gives a very plausible reason for the tree's peculiar name, -in the ensuing remark: - - "When the bound mark was a tree, as in the present instance, a - passage of Scripture was read beneath its branches, a collect was - recited, and a psalm was sung. Hence its sacred designation, long - retained, but now well nigh forgotten."--_Ibid._ p. 93. - - SOUTHAMIENSIS. - -_Gospel Oaks_ (Vol. v., p. 209.).--Near the hamlet of Cressage, co. -Salop, is a very old oak tree, under which tradition says the first -missionaries of the Gospel to this land preached. The name of the -hamlet, _Cressage_, is, I have been told, a contraction of _Christ's -Oak_. - -There is also, near Dudley, a place called _Round Oak_; and on the road -between Walsall and Lichfield, near the latter, may still be seen the -old _Shire Oak_. - -At _Stanford's Bridge_, co. Worcester, is a place called the _Apostles' -Oak_; and in the parish of _Hartlebury_, in the same county, is a tree -bearing the name of the _Mitre Oak_. Both these places, and also a -_Rock_, have contended for the honour of being the scene of the -conference of St. Augustine and the British bishops, A.D. 603. (Nash, -vol. ii. p. 399.) - - J. N. B. - - West Bromwich. - -"_He that runs may read_" (Vol. v., p. 260.).--In Cowper's _Tirocinium_, -v. 80., are these lines: - - "But truth, on which depends our main concern, - That 'tis our shame and misery not to learn, - Shines by the side of every path we tread - With such a lustre, _he that runs may read_." - - LOUISA JULIA NORMAN. - -_Wild Oats_ (Vol. v., p. 227.).--I think I can give a clue to the Query -of BEAU NASH respecting the origin of this phrase. In Kent, if a person -has been talking at random, it is not uncommon to hear it said, "you are -talking _havers_," or _folly_. Now I find in an old dictionary that the -word _havers_ means _oats_; and therefore I conclude, that the phrase -"to sow your wild oats" means nothing more than "to sow folly." - - RUBY. - -_Portrait of Mrs. Percy_ (Vol. v., p. 227.).--The picture of Mrs. Percy -holding in her hand the scroll, mentioned by W.

R. - -_Traditions of a Remote Period--The Chamberlaine Family_ (Vol. v., p. -77.).--As an instance of the "few links" required to connect the present -time with a remote period, I may mention that a grand-aunt of mine who -lived far into the year 1843, remembered perfectly her "uncle -Chamberlaine,"[4] who was an officer in King James II.'s army, and who -fought at Aughrim and at Limerick, thus connecting in her own person the -days of the "Monster Meetings" with those of the Revolution of 1688. She -remembered many of the old soldier's anecdotes of the stirring times in -which he lived, and I now regret having been so careless as not to have -taken any Note of them. He was, I believe, the last of his race. I hold -his commission, signed by the celebrated Tyrconnell, and also many old -deeds, some of which are prior to the reign of Richard II., and of which -he was said to be very careful, though on examination they have proved -to be of no value, except as antiques. - - [Footnote 4: Her grand-uncle.] - -As a descendant I should be much gratified if some of your -correspondents could give me any information as to the family of -Chamberlaine, when they came into Ireland, and who is now the chief -representative of that name? - - T. O'G. - - Dublin. - -_St. Bartholomew_ (Vol. v., p. 129.).--The parish church of Wednesbury, -co. Staffordshire, is dedicated to that saint; where, in the east -window, is a full-length figure: it is however of modern date. - - J. N. B. - - West Bromwich. - -_John Rogers, Protomartyr; Descendants inquired for_ (Vol. v., p. -247.).--The pedigree in my private collection ends thus: - - "[5]Rev. John Rogers of Beminster, Dorsetshire, from 1796 to 1810, - when he removed to Tisbury, Wiltshire, where he died in 1815, aged - 57, leaving two daughters, viz. - - | - ------------------------------ - 2 | | 1 - Sarah = George d'r. wife of - widow Brough. George - d'd Long of - 7 July, Clapham - 1846, Park - æt. 39. Academy, - 1846." - - [Footnote 5: Seventh in direct lineal male descent from the - protomartyr.] - - E. D. - -_English Translation of the Canons_ (Vol. v., p. 246.).--The Queries of -M. on this subject have arisen out of an error, which I fancy must be -his own. After quoting the clause of the 36th Canon, _quodque eodem -taliter uti liceat_, he says: - - "The English translation, to which subscription is now made, has - the following rendering of the second clause: 'And that the same - may be lawfully used.' The word 'taliter' seems to be not rendered - at all." - -Of course I cannot tell on what authority he says this; but he is -certainly wrong: for in the Oxford edition (1844) of the _Homilies and -Canons_ this clause stands thus: "and that it may lawfully _so_ be -used." And so it is printed in Hodgson's _Instructions_, p. 8., and in -the Instructions to be observed by Candidates for Holy Orders in the -Diocese of London: and I myself not long ago subscribed to it in this -form. There is then no difference here at all; the Latin being rendered -by the English, not only fully, but literally. I will only add, that the -grammatical meaning of _taliter_, or _so_, appears to me in this place -to be plain enough, without requiring a "theological controversy" to -determine it. - - F. A. - -_"Arborei foetus alibi," &c._ (Vol. v., pp. 58. 189.).--I am afraid -I did not make myself intelligible in my former communication. Certainly -W. A. C. does not understand me. The question is, are we justified in -translating _alibi atque_ "otherwhere than," in like manner as we -translate _aliter atque_ "otherwise than?" W. A. C. takes for granted -that the line in question refers to only one district. But that is the -very point in doubt. The "head master's" translation makes it refer to -two. - - W. S. - -_Horn-blowing_ (Vol. v., p. 148.).--In reference to this practice, I may -state that a similar custom prevails here (Gainsborough, Lincolnshire), -but on the 29th May, or "Royal Oak Day." For some days previously the -boys collect all the birds' eggs they can find or purchase, and early in -the morning of the 29th, they may be seen returning from the woods in -crowds, with an ample supply of oak. They next procure a large quantity -of flowers, with which they construct a garland in the form of a crown, -the apples of the oak being all gilded, surrounded by flowers and -festoons of birds' eggs. The garland is then suspended across the -street, and every little urchin being provided with a horn, some the -natural horn of the cow, others of tin, similar to those formerly used -by the guard of the mail coaches, they keep up throughout the day a most -terrible blowing of horns; the doleful noise being ill in accordance -with the festivity and rejoicing which the garlands are presumed to -indicate. I have been unable to learn the origin or import of this -singular custom. - - T. DYSON. - - Gainsborough. - -"_God's Love_" (Vol. v., p. 272.).--If T. S. will refer to Wood's -_Athenæ Oxon._, vol. iii. col. 698. edit. 4to., he will find all account -of the author of _God's Love_. Wood records an edition of 1659. In the -_Bibliotheca Anglo-Poetica_, No. 594., was one dated 1679; but I have -now before me the _first_, which neither Wood nor his editor appear to -have heard of. The title: - - "God's Love and Man's Vnworthiness: whereunto is annexed a - Discourse between the Soul and Satan. With several Divine - Ejaculations. Written by John Quarles. London: Printed for John - Stafford, and are to be sold at his house in S. Bride's - Church-yard; and by Humphrey Moseley, at the Prince's Armes, in - St. Paul's Church-yard; and John Holder, at the Blue Anchor, in - the New Exchange. 1651." - -Collation: the minde of the frontispiece: 8 lines verse. The -frontispiece, or engraved title: _God's Loue, Man's Vnworthiness_, by -Io. Qu. "Lord, what is man," &c. _Ps._ viii. 4. An engraved portrait of -the author, kneeling and saying, "O giue salvation vnto Israell out of -Sion!" (this unknown to Granger or Bromley: the latter records _three_ -other portraits of the author.) Then the title, as given before. The -dedication: "To my much honoured and esteemed Friend, Edward Benlowes, -Esq." To the Reader. To my Muse: "Tel me, presumptuous Muse, how dar'st -thou treat." _God's Love_, &c., pp. 1. to 66. A Dialogue, &c., pp. 67. -to 108. Pp. 109, 110. wanting in my copy, but probably blank, as the -catch-word "Divine" agrees with "Divine Ejaculations," which commence -on p. 111. and end at p. 160., thus concluding the volume. - - P.

(vide vol. i. p. 42. of the _Society's -Proceedings_) Mr. S. Tymms says: - - "The small-pox has been a frequent visitor of Bury in its most - terrible forms. In 1677, says Gillingwater (_Hist. Bury_, 226.), - it was so prevalent that the people resorting to the market by the - Rislygate Road, were accustomed to dip their money in water - (tradition says vinegar) which had been placed in _the cavity of - the ruined base of the boundary cross_ situate at the bottom of - Chalk Lane, with the view of preventing any infection being - conveyed to the neighbouring towns and villages." - -My attention has been frequently called to a stone of similar -description standing in the parish of Stuston in this county, by the -side of the Ipswich and Norwich turnpike; it is called in Kirby's -_Suffolk Traveller_, 1st ed. pp. 52-3., a "Stuston Stone" and "The White -Stone," and is nearly equidistant from Diss and Eye, between two and -three miles. - - J. B. COLMAN. - -_Melody of the Dying Swan_ (Vol. ii., p. 476., footnote; Vol. v., p. -187.).-- - - "Sed neque Cygni canunt," says Leland, in his _Cygnea Cantio_, - "nisi flante zephyro vento geniali quidem illo, si quicquam Æliani - judicio tribuendum." - -In the work itself, which is a poetical panegyric on King Henry VIII., -the following lines occur: - - "Strepitum dedit sonorum - Cygnorum niveus chorus canentûm, - Concussis alacri vigore pennis. - Applausus placuit mihi canorus." - -The last line, however, seems only to apply to the applauding sound of -the wings, and not to intimate that any music was produced by them. - - C. I. R. - -_Cimmerii_ (Vol. v., p. 188.).--The belief that the Cymry are descended -from Gomer can prove very little as to the restlessness of those who -hold it; and if it is making progress, the opinion must be supported by -probability: consequently a mere denial will not dispel the illusion. -Authors quite as remarkable for their matter-of-fact opinions as A. N. -may be, have not rejected the connexion of the Cymry with Gomer. For -instance, Volney, in his attacks on Scripture history, when examining -Gen. x. on Gomer, adopts an argument in support of this paternity, -though not in its Biblical sense, viewing Gomer as a chief. As it is not -an unusual circumstance for a nation to adopt the name of its patriarch -or founder (and on this point I would refer to a note to Gibbon's -_Decline_, chap. lxiv.), I trust I shall be excused for believing myself -descended from Gomer, until decided evidence is adduced that I am not. - -Pompeius Festus I am unacquainted with; but on consulting Plutarch, in -Mario, the following contradictory statements may be seen: "The Germans -called banditti _Cimbri_;" and, "Hence, therefore, these barbarians who -came into Italy first issued; being anciently called _Cimmerii_, and -afterwards _Cimbri_, and the appellation was _not at all from their -manners_." - -That the old Germans may have called robbers _Cimbri_, does not prove -that word implies _robbers_, or anything of the kind; but it indicates -that the intrusion of the old Germans on the lands of the Cimbri caused -the invaded to make reprisals on the invaders; and then the injured -Germans connected or identified the Cimbrian name with that of enemy or -robber. - - GOMER. - -_Stoke_ (Vol. v., pp. 106. 161. 213.).--I think that the towns and -parishes of _Tawstock_, _Culmstock_, _Tavistock_, _Plymstock_, _Stockton -on Tees_, _Severn Stoke_, _Stoke in Teignhead_, _Stoke on Tern_, _Stoke -on Trent_, must have received their names from a _stockade_ of some kind -_in_ the rivers near which they are situated. There is at a ford across -the river Severn, about half a mile from Welsh Pool, a weir made of -stakes and brushwood erected a few yards above the ford, for the sole -purpose of diminishing the force of the current, and spreading the water -into a stream of an uniform depth. I conjecture that in ancient times -the fords of our larger rivers were kept in a passable state during the -winter season by weirs of this description, and that there were fords in -the rivers at the places above mentioned. There is near Nuneaton the -chapelry of _Stock in Ford_, but I am not sufficiently acquainted with -that place to be able to conjecture from what circumstance it may have -derived its name. I infer that one meaning of the word _stoke_ is _wood_ -of any kind, from the fact that the opening through which coals are -introduced under the larger boilers in our houses is called a -_stoke-hole_, from the wood formerly used for fuel. - - S. S. S. (2). - -_King's College Chapel Windows_ (Vol. v., p 276.).--See Blomefield's -_History of Norfolk_, vol. i. p. 406., and vol. ii. p. 388. At the -latter reference, under the head of Richard Nykke or Nix, Bishop of -Norwich, 1500, occurs this passage: "This bishop incurred a premunire -for extending his jurisdiction over the Mayor of Thetford, and was fined -for it. With part of the fine, it is said, the beautiful windows in -King's College Chapel, Cambridge, were purchased." The statement is -given at greater length at the first of the above-quoted references. I -never heard of the story before I met with it in Blomefield. - - T. H. L. - -Mr. Blomefield, referring to Richard Nykke, Bishop of Norwich -(1500-1535), says he incurred a premunire for extending his -jurisdiction over the Mayor of Thetford, "and was fined for it, with -part of which fine _'tis said_ the beautiful painted glass windows in -King's College Chapel at Cambridge were purchased."--_Hist. of Norfolk_, -8vo. edit., ii. 52.; iii. 546. - -There is good foundation for the statement that this bishop "was -condemned in the premunire" (Coke's _Reports_, xii. 40, 41.); but I -question if there be authentic evidence that he "redeemed the punishment -of that offence by the glasing of the King's College Chappell windows in -Cambridge." Bishop Nykke is no doubt the prelate to whom Ferne alludes. - - C. H. COOPER. - - Cambridge. - -_Quotation Wanted_ (Vol. v., p. 228.).--"_Cujus vita despicitur_," &c., -is from S. Gregor. _Magn.

John -Lord Berkeley of Stratton, the second son of John Berkeley, was a -British admiral; he died on the 27th of July, 1696-7, not more than -thirty-four years of age, during eight of which he had filled the office -of admiral. See Rose's _Biographical Dictionary_. - - TYRO. - - Dublin. - -_History of Commerce_ (Vol. v., p. 276.).--C. I. P. will, I think, find -much of the information required in David Macpherson's _Annals of -Commerce_, London, 1805, 4 vols. 4to. particularly in vols. iii. and -iv.; also in _The History of European Commerce with India_, by the same -author, London 1812, 4to. Neither of them is entered in the Bodleian -Catalogue. - - C. I. R. - -_Game of Curling_ (Vol. v., p. 13.).--The third volume of Tytler's -_Lives of Scottish Worthies_ (No. 37. of the _Family Library_) contains -a series of antiquarian illustrations, of which the last is devoted to -"Ancient Scottish Games and Amusements." The author refers particularly -to the MS. accounts of the Lord High Treasurer during the reign of King -James IV. (1488-1513), in which, however, there appears to be no notice -of the "roaring game." The origin of this favourite amusement is -certainly involved in mystery, and I have repeatedly failed in my -endeavours to ascertain the meaning of the name by which the game is -known. On consulting the abridgment of Jamieson's _Dictionary_ for the -derivation, I find the following:-- - - "Perhaps from Teut. _krollen_, _krull-en_, sinuare, flectere, - whence E. _curl_; as the great art of the game is to make the - stones bend or curve in towards the mark, when it is so blocked up - that they cannot be directed in a straight line." - - E. N. - -_Ancient Trees_ (Vol. iv., pp. 401. &c.).--Notwithstanding the assertion -of Dr. Johnson, many fine specimens of timber have long existed to the -north of the Tweed. At p. 20. of the _Edinburgh Antiquarian Magazine_ -(Edin. 1848) will be found a "List of Scottish Trees, of remarkable -magnitude, as they existed in 1812," including numerous examples of the -oak, larch, ash, elm, beech, silver fir, Scots fir, sycamore, chesnut, -black poplar, and yew. One of the largest in the catalogue is the great -yew at Fortingal, in Perthshire, measured by the Hon. Judge Barrington -in 1768, when its circumference was no less than fifty-two feet. - - E. N. - -_Paring the Nails, &c._ (Vol. v., pp. 142. &c.).-- - - "Now no superfluity of our food, or in general no excrementitious - substance, is looked upon by them (the Egyptian priests) as pure - and clean; such, however, are all kinds of wool and down, our hair - and our nails. It would be the highest absurdity therefore for - those who, whilst they are in a course of purification, are at so - much pains to take off the hair from every part of their own - bodies, at the same time to cloath themselves with that of other - animals. So when we are told by Hesiod 'not to pare our nails, - whilst we are present at the festivals of the Gods,' we ought so - to understand him as if he designed hereby to inculcate that - purity with which we ought to come prepared, before we enter upon - any religious duty, that we have not to make ourselves clean, - whilst we ought to be occupied in attending to the solemnity - itself."--Plutarch's Treatise of _Isis and Osiris_, translated by - Squire, p. 5. 1744. - -This note will show the great antiquity of these nail-paring and -hair-cutting superstitions.

The - inscription also on the stone that covers ASHMOLE'S grave, who was - himself buried in Lambeth Church, is now very nearly effaced. The - restoration of that Church, now nearly finished, seems a fit - occasion for repairing both these Monuments. It is therefore - proposed to raise a fund for the perfect restoration of the Tomb - of the TRADESCANTS, according to its original form, as represented - in two drawings preserved in the Pepysian Library at Cambridge, - and also for renewing ASHMOLE'S epitaph. The cost will not be less - than 100_l._, and assistance is earnestly requested from all who - are anxious to preserve ancient monuments, especially those who - are following the same pursuits as the TRADESCANTS, and who are - daily deriving benefit and delight from the labours and - discoveries of these first of English gardeners and naturalists. - - Contributions may be paid to, - - Sir William J.

Mogunt. 1486), is -believed to be the first book of travels that was printed. Having by me -notes of five works printed earlier than that of Breydenbach just -mentioned,--and all of these, with one exception, being Pilgrimages to -the Holy Land,--I forward them for publication in "N. & Q.," and -probably some of your correspondents may be able to add to the list. - -1. _Ludolf von Suchen ("Ludolphus parochialis ecclesiae in Suchen -rector"), De terra sancta et itinere Jhierosolymitano._--Three undated -editions, but in all probability printed before 1480, are mentioned in -Brunet's _Manuel du Libraire_. A German translation, entitled, _Von dem -gelobten Land vnd Weg gegen Iherusalem_, was published at Augsburg in -1477 in 4to. The author travelled about the year 1340. "His journal," -observes Dr. Robinson (_Biblical Researches in Palestine_, iii. p. 11.), -"is written with great simplicity, and has something of the marvellous; -but is decidedly the best itinerary of the fourteenth century." - -2. _Marco Polo_, the celebrated Eastern traveller, wrote an account of -his peregrinations in Italian, about the year 1300. A German translation -was printed at Nuremberg as early as 1477, with the following title: -_Hie hebt sich an das Puch des edeln Ritters vnd Landtfarers Marcho -Polo; in dem er schreibt die grossen wunderlichen Ding dieser Welt_. (In -folio.) - -3. _Sir John Mandeville._ Both French and Italian editions of the -well-known "Marvaylous Travailes" of this worthy knight were printed in -1480. (See Brunet _ut supr._) - -4. _Santo Brasca_, a gentleman of Milan, made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem -in 1480, of which he wrote a journal in Italian, and published it the -following year at Milan. Brunet gives the title as follows: _Tutto il -suo Itinerario di giorno in giorno al sanctissima cita di Jerusalem -nell' anno 1480_, 4to. This is a very curious and rare book, written in -simple and natural style; and at the end of which are "Instructioni a -ciascuno che desidra fare questo sanctissimo viagio," and two prayers in -verse: "1. Oratione per sancto brascha fatta a piedi nudi in Monte -Calvario a di 29 Julij, 1480: 2. Oratione facta in la vale de Josaphat a -la sepultura de la Vergene Maria." - -5. _Johann_ or _Hans Tucher_, a counsellor (_Rathsherr_) of Nuremberg, -undertook a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Mount Sinai in the year 1479, in -company with Balthasar, Duke of Mecklenburg, and two of his -fellow-citizens. The title of his itinerary in Brunet is, _Wallfart und -Reise in das gelobte Land_. Such was its popularity that it passed -through two editions in the same year (1482); the one appearing at -Augsburg, in folio; the other, corrected by the author, at Nuremberg, in -4to. (Vide Will's _Nuernbergisches Gelehrten-Lexicon_.) The work is, -however, very rare. In it full directions are given for the guidance of -all such as might thereafter be disposed to venture forth with scrip and -staff on these pious but somewhat perilous expeditions. - -Referring again to Breydenbach, Dr. Kitto (no mean authority) is of -opinion that the account which goes under his name was written by the -Dominican monk Felix Faber, who was Breydenbach's secretary and -companion in the journey. (See Kitto's _Physical History of Palestine_, -p. 9.) - - PEREGRINE A. - - -SURNAMES. - -The subject of surnames has more than once been referred to in the pages -of "N. & Q.," and it may assist those of your readers who have -investigated the question of their origin and use, to offer them the -following examples of peculiar forms of personal designation which occur -in certain of the more ancient public muniments of the city of Norwich. - -It is the opinion of Camden, Du Cange, Pegge, Sharon Turner, and other -writers, that the custom of appropriating a permanent appellation to -particular families, became fully established in this country at the -period (sooner or later) of the Norman Conquest. The instances, however, -exhibited below, prove that such custom was not, at any rate, -universally prevalent at that time amongst us. And, indeed, whatever -might have been the case in reference to "the high men of the lond," it -is very certain that surnames, properly so called, were not completely -adopted by the mass of the people until the close of the fourteenth -century. - -But as the intention of this Note is simply to adduce original examples -of individual designations, without inquiring into the circumstances -attending their acquisition, or pointing to the causes, obvious enough -for the most part, to which their various after-changes and -modifications are to be attributed, the subject calls for no other -general remark, except, perhaps, as to the prefixes "Le"[1] and "De," -which, it may be noticed in passing, are, though not _constantly_, as is -commonly asserted, attached to names in records of an older date than -the time of Edward IV., when they began to fall into desuetude. - - [Footnote 1: This prefix was occasionally in Cheshire, and in the - North with few exceptions, contracted into "A," as Thomas a - Becket, Thomas a Dutton, &c.] - -With these introductory observations are now given, from the source -above indicated,-- - -I. Examples of sons bearing a name different to that of their fathers:-- - - "1230. Will. fil. Silvestri, als. Will. Silvestre, fil. Silvestri - Pudding de Holmestrete; - - "1232.

Examples of wives described by names other than those borne by their -husbands: - - "1255. Rob. de Wurthestede, et Basilia le Ro', ux. ej." - - 1288.

Willi de Dunston, et nunc uxor - Simonis Spencer." - -It is also to be noticed that wives, if more than once married, are -frequently described in old documents by the names, distinctly and -united, of their several husbands. - -III. Examples of changes in the form of particular designations: - -Between 1332 and 1348 the name borne by the famous knight, Sir Rob. de -Salle, commemorated by Froissart, and who was killed by the insurgents -near Norwich in 1381, is severally written, de la Sale, de Salle, de -Aula, de la S'aule, de Halle, Saul, and Halle. - -In temps. Ed. II. and III. is the following name thus modified: Fitz -Benedict, Benediscite, Bendiste, Bendish, Bennett. - -The twenty-ninth bishop of Norwich (1446-1472) is styled Walter Lyhart, -Le Hert, and Hart. - -In 1337 we have "Jas. de Briseworth als. de Bliclingg;" and in 1368, -"Johes. de Welburn (Frat. Thome de Welburn nuper defti), als. de -Cobeslound de Welburne, Taverner." - -Then, again, it were easy to produce innumerable examples of -professional and business descriptions, which have originated many -modern surnames, as Joh. le Lytester (Lister, Dyer), Regin, le Paumer -(Palmer), Bateman le Espicer, (Spicer), &c. - -But this Note has already somewhat unduly encroached upon your pages; -and it is now brought to a conclusion with the single observation, that -many of the causes of various readings and differences of form in the -same original surname, as well as of a total change from one designation -to another, are now in full force and daily practical operation in many -isolated parts of the country, where, from the predominance of identical -family and baptismal appellations, some method, such as is illustrated -in the foregoing examples, must obviously be adopted, in order to -distinguish one individual from another. In many of the remote valleys, -indeed, of the North of England, a more comprehensive reply might be -given than that which the unsuccessful gaberlunyie woman, mentioned by -Sir W. Scott, received in a certain Scottish dale, when, in the -bitterness of her disappointment, she exclaimed, "Are there no -Christians here?" and was answered, "Christians! nae; we be a' Elliots -and Armstrongs!" So--but certainly not under like circumstances--it -might be replied, "We're a' Meccas (Ang. Metcalfes)!" - - COWGILL. - -_Number of Surnames._--Probably some of your numerous correspondents -could give me some idea as to the number of surnames there are in this -country used by British subjects. We have no good work on surnames, as -those of Lower and others do not go sufficiently into the subject to -satisfy the curiosity of those who wish to know the origin and date of -the names in use among us. A work of some study and research, giving all -the names in use at present in the country, and showing when they were -first adopted or brought into the country, with the changes that have -been made in them, would be very interesting, and as worthy, if not more -so, than many that are brought before the public. - - J. H. - -P.S.--I would suggest that the names should be classed in the different -periods of history, beginning with the Britons. - - -LICENSE TO MAKE MALT IN 1596. - -Among the old family deeds relating to the manor of Wishanger, I find -the following curious and interesting document. It affords evidence that -in 1596 there was a dearth of corn which was general through the -kingdom; that barley was then much used for bread; that there was a -custom, either general, or occasioned by the scarcity, that the poor -should be served in open market, at an accustomed hour; that one of the -means relied upon to supply food to the people was to restrain the -making of malt; and, therefore, that malt liquor must have been very -generally consumed by our forefathers at that time. - -The writing is in perfect preservation, and the ink jet black. - -I give it in the original orthography, according to the literature of -those easy times when every man spelled that that was right in his own -eyes and the world was little troubled with dictionaries or critics. - - JULIUS PARTRIGE. - - Birmingham. - - "Glou'r.--Wee, her Ma'ts Justices of the Peace within this - Countey, whose names are hereunder writen accordinge to the late - orders publyshed by her Ma'tie and the Lo. of her most honorable - privye Counsell for and concerninge the dearth of corne and - graine, and for the better effectinge whereof we have taken - recognizance of all such as shall make any malte, what quantitye - they shall make, and where they shall buy it, and when, and to - sell the same soe by them converted into malte in the open markett - next unto them adioining, and for that none can soe doe without he - be thereunto especially licenssed by us and p'esented by the Jury - Have therefore licenssed and by these p'sents doe licensse the - Bearer hereof Georg Fowler of Hibley to convert into Malte one - quarter weekly and to buy the same Barley soe by him to be - converted in the any the next Mkett Towne unto him adioininge and - that one houre after the poor shall be served at the least. - praying yo'se to whom it shall and may appertaine quietly to pmitt - and suffer him soe to doe w'hout anye of yo'r lette interupcion or - molestation the said Georg Fowler comitinge nothing to the hdance - of our last orders only (these[2]) psnts in execution. - - "In Witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names the - fourthe of December in the nine and thirtiethe year of the raigne - of our Sovraigne lady Elizabethe by the grace of God of England - Fraunce and Ireland Queene Defender of the ffaith A.D. 1596. - - "H.

Speaking of -the same bishop, Florentius de Wevelichoven, he says: - - "Fecit et exhumari ossa cujusdam haeretici Matthaei Lollaert atque - ante atrium Pontificale comburi, cineresque in fossas urbis - dispergi."--_Hist. Episcopor. Ultraject._ p. 259. - -Now though the Christian name, _Matthaeus_, of this Lollaert does not -agree with that usually assigned to Lollard, viz., _Walter_; nor yet -this assertion that his bones were dug up, and burned at Utrecht, with -the current story that Lollard was buried alive at Cologne; yet it is -evident from the note upon this passage on p. 263., that Heda is -speaking of the founder of the sect of the Lollards. In this note he -refers to Prateolus and Walsingham, to which I turned in order to -ascertain where he got his information; but, alas, in vain! They only -give a very meagre account of the origin of the Lollards. Heda must -therefore have had some independent source from which he wrote, as he -could hardly have invented the story. The form of name, _Lollaert_, -would make it more than probable that Lollard was a Dutchman, which -agrees very well with the account that he preached in Germany. - -How much is it to be wished that some member of the many learned Dutch -Antiquarian Societies now in existence, would endeavour _at last_ to -clear up the history of Lollard by reference to the records of the city -of Utrecht, if they are still in being, and extend so far back as the -fourteenth century. - -Florentius became Bishop of Utrecht in 1379, and died 1394. - - J.

An antiquary of -that county considers this a relic of Roman paganism, connected with the -worship of Bona Dea. Query, is this so elsewhere? - - C. S. P. - -_Wassailing Orchards in Sussex._--I am happy to be able to send you the -following particulars respecting the apple-tree superstitions, as they -prevail in this county; and it is as _well to preserve_ the -_recollection_ of them, for I suspect they are wearing away. In this -neighbourhood (Chailey) the custom of wassailing the orchards still -remains. It is called apple-howling. A troop of boys visit the different -orchards, and encircling the apple-trees they repeat the following -words: - - "Stand fast root, bear well top, - Pray the God send us a good howling crop. - Every twig, apples big, - Every bough, apples enow. - Hats full, caps full, - Full quarters, sacks full." - -They then shout in chorus, one of the boys accompanying them on the -cow's horn; during this ceremony they rap the trees with their sticks. -This custom is alluded to in Herrick's _Hesperides_, p. 311. - - "Wassail the trees that they may beare - You, many a plum, and many a peare, - For more or less fruits they will bring, - As you do give them _wassailing_." - - R.

You are doing good service by collecting and recording some of -those that are fast disappearing. In this neighbourhood I know ladies -who consider it "lucky" to find _old iron_; a horse shoe or a rusty nail -is carefully conveyed home and hoarded up. It is also considered lucky -if you see the _head_ of the first lamb in spring; to present his _tail_ -is the certain harbinger of misfortune. It is also said that if you have -money in your pocket the first time you hear the cuckoo, you will never -be without all the year. The magpie is a well-known bird of omen. The -following lines were familiar when I was a boy: - - "One for sorrow, two for mirth, - Three for a wedding, four for death; - Five for a fiddle, six for a dance, - Seven for England, eight for France." - - T.

Jun. may not be -aware that an experiment somewhat similar to these is practised in the -Isle of Man. The operator holds a thread between the finger and thumb, -with a shilling fixed horizontally to it, gradually drops the shilling -into a glass, and after it has once become stationary, the shilling -begins to oscillate, and, as the superstition goes, invariably strikes -the hour of the day against the glass. I have frequently practised it, -and consider the motive power to be the pulse, which is completely under -the operator's control. This performance has been known in the Isle of -Man certainly more than a century, and bears a resemblance to the -experiments of Mayo and Reichenbach with the Od Force, or the vagaries -of the Magnetoscope. - -Perhaps some of your correspondents can instance cases and tricks of -this kind of much earlier date. - - AGMOND. - - -Minor Notes. - -_Rhymes connected with Places._--There are many villages in England, the -names of which have old traditionary couplets attached to them, -illustrating some natural or other peculiarity; some such have already -incidentally found their way into the pages of "N. & Q." Might not a -complete collection be easily made, and would it not be an interesting -one? I send, as a beginning, two Staffordshire villages in my immediate -neighbourhood, which are very characteristically described. One is-- - - "Wootton under Weaver, - Where God came never," - -being very lonely, and out-of-the-way; and the other-- - - "Stanton on the stones, - Where the Devil broke his bones," - -which explains itself. - - W.

Fairfax; which book -Charles I. had ransomed from Rome by a considerable sum of money: and it -is certain Archbishop Spottiswood had it and the _Black Book of -Paisley_, signed by three abbots, when he compiled his _History_, which, -with the famous _Red Book of Pluscardine_, Buchanan says he had, and -frequently cites.--Sir George Mackenzie's _Defence of the Antiquity of -the Royal Line of Scotland_; and also _Lives of Scotch Writers_. - -The fate of the _Black Book of Scone_ may be a clue to the inquirer -after the _Black Book of Paisley_. It is not now in the library at -Spottiswood; and most of Sir Robert Spottiswood's property was pillaged -and ransacked during his imprisonment. - - L. M. M. R. - -_Cracked Glass._--Some years ago, being a schoolboy at the time, I spent -my Christmas holidays at my grandfather's house in Somersetshire. The -members of the family were assembled for evening prayer, when suddenly -music, resembling that of an Aeolian harp, was heard, produced apparently -by some person upon the lawn immediately beneath the window. As soon as -the prayers were concluded I opened the hall door, and was greatly -surprised to find the musician had departed. On returning to the -drawing-room I was informed that the moment I had left the room the -music ceased. Believing that some village friend had come to serenade -us, we drew our chairs round the fire in expectation of his return. A -few minutes only elapsed when the music was again distinctly heard. A -second visit was made to the hall door, but with no better success. It -was then resolved to open the shutters, which was no sooner done than -the mystery was clearly explained. During the day a pane of glass had -been cracked, and the music was produced by the two pieces of glass -vibrating against each other. We found, from repeated experiments, that -it required the atmosphere of the room to be at rather a high -temperature to produce the effect, for the moment the door, or one of -the other windows, was opened, the vibration ceased. I have only to add -that the music was very pleasing to the ear, and consisted of rapid -cadences. I have often mentioned the circumstance, but I never found any -one who had met with a similar _musical fracture_. - - M.

Is there any list extant of the Prothonotaries of the Supreme Courts -of Judicature from the time of Edward III. downwards, or any source from -which their names could be obtained? Was John Hayward a prothonotary of -one of the courts in Edward III.'s time, or during the reign immediately -following? or can any information be furnished about a lawyer of that -name about that time? - -2. Is anything known of a place called "Schypmen Hall" existing in -London or elsewhere in the time of Edward IV.? - -3. When did "Mr. Goldsborough, one of the Prothonotaries of the Common -Banke," flourish? - -4. Is anything known of Traherne, said to have been reader at Lincoln's -Inn temp. Hen. VIII., whose _Reading on Forest Laws_ is much referred to -by Manwood? - -5. Is anything known of Frowick, a lawyer probably of the sixteenth -century? - - C. W. G. - - -TOWN HALLS. - -I have to thank two of your correspondents for their Notes in answer to -my Query respecting mediaeval towns built on a regular plan in England. -They have reminded me of Hull and Wokingham, with both which places I -was previously acquainted; neither of them is by any means of the same -regular and perfect plan as the English towns in France, but they -approximate to it in some degree; and I am not the less obliged for -being reminded of them. My success in this instance encourages me to -trouble you with another Query. Can any of your correspondents furnish -me with information respecting any mediaeval town halls remaining in -England? I am acquainted with several, but believe there are many more -than is commonly supposed. Some of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries -are mentioned in Mr. Turner's work on _Domestic Architecture_, as the -County Hall at Oakham; the Guildhall at Lincoln; the King's Hall at -Winchester. In addition to these, the Guildhall at Exeter is partly of -the thirteenth century, and partly of the fifteenth. The old Town Hall -at Colchester of the twelfth has, I believe, been destroyed within these -few years. The Town Hall at Winchelsea is of the time of Edward I., -though mutilated. The Town Hall at Aldborough is of the fifteenth -century, or earlier. The hall of St. Mary's Guild at Coventry is a -well-known and beautiful example. The Town Hall of Weobly in -Herefordshire is, if I remember rightly, an early example of timber -work. These are a few instances which occur to my memory. I have no -doubt there are many others; and, as the subject is one of considerable -interest, perhaps you will not object to assist me in collecting -information upon it. You will observe that I include under the general -name of Town Halls all public halls, whether called by that name or by -any other. I am aware that they do not all belong to the same class, -strictly speaking; but I should be glad to know of other examples of any -of them. - - J. H.

N. - -_Knights Templars and Freemasons._--Can any of your readers inform me -what connexion has ever existed between the Knights Templars and the -Freemasons, as there is a degree in Freemasonry called the Knight -Templar's degree? It is supposed that the persecuted Templars betook -themselves to the Freemasons' lodges, and secured their protection. The -two orders became closely connected, the succession of Grand Masters -kept up, and the ritual of the Templars preserved. There is a French -order of Knights Templars, which claims direct succession from Jacques -de Molay, the last Grand Master of the original order; but the -Freemasons say that this is a spurious body, and that the only -legitimate claimants to representation of this once powerful order are -the Freemasons. - -I shall be glad if any of your readers can give such information as may -aid my inquiries into this subject; or if they can furnish me with the -titles of such works as are most likely to aid my researches. My object -is to trace the history of the order of Knights Templars subsequent to -the persecution and death of Jacques de Molay, and to ascertain the -correctness of the statements of those who profess to be the proper -representatives of the order. - - E. A. H.

I have read Mr. Duke's essay on the subject in -the _Prolusiones Historicae_, but do not quite agree in his view of the -meaning which these singular paintings were intended to convey. Why -should this saint, of whom so little is correctly known and of whom -Alban Butler gives a very scanty account, occupy such a very important -position in the iconography of the mediaeval church, and which it appears -has not been maintained by the Roman Catholics of the present day? I am -quite aware of the doggrel lines occasionally found underneath these -representations, ascribing extraordinary powers of cure to the picture -when looked upon by the faithful; but I cannot think that this reason -alone would have led to the adoption of this extraordinary -representation in almost all our parish churches. Are there any known -representations of St. Christopher in painted glass; if so, where? - - E. A. H.

Coll. Arm._, c. 19. p. 48., and _Harl. MS._ 1101. p. 29. [1582]), -the arms granted by the duke to his son-in-law were--"azure, per pole, a -rose and thistle, pper;" crest, "a horn, or."

So little has -been recorded of his personal history, that every item which can be -gleaned is valuable. It is certainly strange that no proper memoir of -one so distinguished in arms as Wolfe has yet been written. His career, -though short, was brilliant and embraces a period of time, as well as -events, which would render a sketch of his life, by a competent writer, -singularly interesting. Materials do not seem wanting; the detached -pieces of information, and references to sources where more may be -obtained, which have already appeared in "N. & Q." since I ventured to -start the subject in October last, indicate, that with a little industry -and research in proper quarters, Wolfe's history can yet be written to -advantage. England's young hero has, in this respect, been too much -neglected. Surely this national reproach will not be allowed to -continue. - -In the _Gentleman's Magazine_ for January last, there is a very -interesting letter from Wolfe to a young officer on the subject of -military studies, supplied from the rich MS. stores of Mr. Robert Cole. -I am enabled to contribute the fragment of another letter from Wolfe, -also to a very young officer, pointing out how he ought to conduct -himself on entering the army. This fragment was discovered within these -few weeks, in the same old military chest where the twelve letters in -my possession were found, to which I formerly alluded. This fragment, -though neither dated, signed, nor addressed, is in Wolfe's handwriting -beyond all doubt. I have compared it with his other letters, and not -only do I find the resemblance perfect, but the paper on which the -fragment is written is identically the same with several of these -letters, the water-mark being the very appropriate one for a soldier, -"pro _patria_." This newly discovered portion of Wolfe's letter is -written closely on two pages of a sheet of post paper; and from -circumstances I am inclined to think the date must have been in the end -of 1757, when he was at Blackheath, soon after his return from the -descent on Rochefort, in which he held a command. I am unable, however, -to point out the name of the young officer for whose advantage the -fragmentary epistle was written; but he was evidently one in whose -welfare Wolfe took much interest, and intimate in Wolfe's family. The -introductory words, "_Dear Huty_," seem to be an affectionate -abbreviation of the young gentleman's surname; but how the fragment came -amongst the papers of Wolfe's other friend, Lieut.-Col. Rickson, to whom -the whole of the twelve letters in my possession are addressed, I cannot -at present say. Here is an exact copy, viz.: - - "Dear Huty, - - "By a Letter from my Mother I find you are now an officer in Lord - Chs. Hay's Regiment, which I heartily give you Joy of, and as I - sincerely wish you success in Life, you will give me Leave to give - you a few Hints which may be of use to you in it. The Field you - are going into is quite new to you, but may be trod very safely, - and soon made known to you, if you only get into it by the proper - Entrance. I make no doubt but you have entirely laid aside the Boy - and all Boyish amusements, and have considered yourself as a young - man going into a manly profession, where you must be answerable - for your own conduct. Your character in life must be that of a - Soldier, and a Gentleman: the first is to be acquired by - application and attendance on your duty; the second, by adhering - most strictly to the Dictates of Honour, and the Rules of Good - Breeding. To be more particular in each of these points; when you - join your Regiment, if there are any Officer's Guard mounted, be - sure constantly to attend the Parade, observe carefully the manner - of the officers taking their Posts, the exercise of their - Espontoon, &c.; when the Guard is marched off from the Parade, - attend it to the Place of Relief, and observe the manner and form - of Relieving, and when you return to your chamber (which should be - as soon as you cou'd, lest what you saw slip out of your Memory), - consult Bland's Military Discipline on that Head; this will be the - readiest method of learning this part of your Duty, which is what - you will be the soonest call'd on to perform. - - "When off Duty get a Serg't or a Corporal, whom the Adjutant will - recommend to you, to teach you the Exercise of the Firelock, which - I beg of you to make yourself as much master of as if you were a - simple soldier; the exact and nice knowledge of this will readily - bring you to understand all other parts of your Duty, make you a - proper judge of the performance of the Men, and qualify you for - the post of an Adjutant, and in time many other employments of - Credit. When you are posted to your Company, take care that the - Sergeants or Corporals constantly bring you the orders; treat - those officers with kindness, but keep them at a Distance, so will - you be beloved and respected by them; read your orders with - attention, and if anything in particular concerns yourself, put it - down in your Memorandum Book, which I wou'd have you constantly in - your Pocket ready for any Remarks; be sure to attend constantly - morning and evening the Roll Calling of the Company, watch - carefully the Absentees, and enquire into reasons for their being - so, and particularly be watchfull they do not endeavour to impose - on you sham Excuses, which they are apt to do with young officers, - but will be deterr'd from it by a proper severity in detecting - them;----" - -Here, unfortunately, the remainder of the sheet has been torn off, and -the continuation of the excellent precepts it no doubt contained, is -irretrievably lost. Enough has luckily been preserved to show what an -admirably disciplined soldier mind Wolfe possessed, taken in conjunction -with the outline of military reading, pointed out in the letter -contributed by Mr. Cole, already alluded to, and written with the same -kindly object (the instruction of youthful officers), probably only a -few months prior to the date of the mutilated one. - -As it may be thought desirable to say something more than I have done, -regarding the packet of Wolfe's letters in my custody, I beg to state -that the officer to whom they are all addressed, was William Rickson, a -native of Pembroke. He was eight years older than Wolfe. They appear to -have served together in Flanders. Both were at the battle of Dettigen, -and their names appear in the list of promotions consequent on that -victory. Rickson and young Wolfe were also in the same regiment, -commanded by Wolfe's father, in Flanders. I think it was then known as -"Onslows." Both father and son appear to have felt a strong attachment -to Rickson: this appears from the letters. On the part of James Wolfe in -particular, this attachment was of the most ardent description. In one -letter, dated Banff (Scotland), 9th June, 1751, he thus writes to -Rickson: - - "I believe that no man can have a sincerer regard for you than - myself, nor can any man wish to serve and assist you with more - ardour;" and "Attachments between men of certain characters do - generally arise from something alike in their natures, and should - never fall from a certain degree of firmness, that makes them the - same all the world over, and incapable of any diminution. I have - (as you justly acknowledge) a perseverance in friendship, that - time, nor distance, nor circumstance, can defeat,--nay, even - neglect can hardly conquer it; and you are just as warm and as - near me in North America as you would be upon the spot." - -Rickson survived Wolfe eleven years, and I possess the key of the tomb -in which his remains repose in Restalrig churchyard, near Edinburgh. A -fine miniature of him in his antique regimentals also exists; and it is -interesting to contemplate the lineaments of a countenance so familiar -to Wolfe, and of a man to whom the latter seems to have communicated his -inmost thoughts. There are passages in the letters indicative of this to -a degree, that I felt bound in honour not to disclose. Rickson died a -lieutenant-colonel in 1770. His antique military chest remained in -possession of relatives in Scotland almost forgotten, till about three -years ago curiosity prompted the examination of a mass of old papers, -covered with dust, lying at the bottom of it. A number of curious -documents have thus been brought to light, including a file of letters -to Rickson from the Duke of Queensbury (under whose auspices he -constructed the military roads in Gallowayshire) and other distinguished -personages of the last century, but best of all twelve invaluable -letters from the lamented Wolfe, tied up by themselves, probably by -Rickson, as memorials of his bosom friend who fell in the arms of -victory. It was, as already said, among these old papers that the -fragment of the letter above quoted was also found lately, on a more -careful inspection of the antique chest in which they lay. I was so much -struck with the noble sentiments expressed by Wolfe in the letters, that -I ventured to write a short sketch of him from very imperfect materials, -which appeared, along with the letters themselves, _ad longam_, in -Tait's _Edinburgh Magazine_ for December, 1849. Had I been aware of some -of the facts which have since been contributed to the "N. & Q.," I would -have modified certain passages in the narrative. All I aimed at, -however, was merely to elucidate the letters which accident placed in my -custody. But I now earnestly invite some competent writer to rescue -Wolfe's history from the undeserved neglect and obscurity in which it is -at present shrouded. I shall cheerfully allow any such party access to -the whole letters, under proper guards for their safety, and my address -has been left with the Editor accordingly. - - [Gh.] - - Glasgow. - - -EARL OF CHEPSTOW. - -(Vol. v., pp. 126. 204. 261.) - -The seeming difficulty regarded in these communications arises from -Hooker's unauthorised translation of "Comes Strigulensis" into "Earl of -Chepsto_ne_," and in a phrase of ancient parlance appearing a Title of -Dignity. The error does not exist in the original work, as Giraldus -wrote "Dermutius Morchardi filius, Lagenensium Princeps, _Ricardo Comiti -Strigulensi, Gilleberti Comitis filio_, S."--Camden's _Anglica_, &c., p. -767. - -The town, called in later times _Chepstow_ by the English, and sometimes -_Cas Gwent_, or _Castell Gwent_, by the Welsh, is clearly _Strigul_ (as -shown in Lhwyd's _Commentariolum_, p. 102. edit. 1731, and -_Archaeologia_, vol. xxix. p. 31.); but these names are not precisely -equivalent. In early documents the Town, Vill, or Burgh is thus -variously named, and the style of the present Court Baron is, "the -Honour of Chepstow, _alias_ Striguil;" but in old charters and -chronicles the Lordship Marcher, the castle, and the honorary -description of its lords, are usually designated by the word "Strigul" -(variously written) only; and of this "Hooker _alias_ Vowell" was -perhaps ignorant. Giraldus himself is correct, as shown above. - -As to the style of "Earl of Strigul," Dugdale admits the use of it by -Richard Fitz-Gilbert, who occurs as "Comes Strigulensis" above, and as -"Ricardus Comes de Striguil Dermuciigener," in Ralph de Diceto (p. -590.). His descendant Gilbert Marescall is also termed "Counte de -Strogoile" in the petition of Margaret, daughter of Thomas de -Brotherton, at the coronation of Richard II. (Vincent's _Corrections_, -p. 345.) There is a stronger instance in Selden's _Titles of Honour_ (p. -617. edit. 1631), correctly cited from Hoveden, and mentioning the fact -of William Marshall and Geoffrey Fitz-Peter being severally girded -"_gladio Comitatus de Striguil_ et gladio Comitatus de Essex," at the -coronation of King John, with remarks on their previous rank as earls, -their administration of earldoms, but their non-investiture, and their -sitting at the royal table in consequence of this investiture. - -Nevertheless, it is laid down in the third _Report on the Dignity of a -Peer_, p. 146., that such expressions are to be considered vague. It -refers, for instance, any description of Roger de Montegomeri, as Earl -of Arundel (if such exists), to _residence_; adding, "that is, he was an -earl, and from his _residence_ was denominated Earl of Arundel, _as the -Earls of Pembroke were denominated Earls of Strigul_, a castle which -appears to have been built by William Fitz-Osborn, Earl of Hereford, and -which had _no connexion_ with the county of Pembroke." - -As to the immediate parentage of Earl Richard Fitz-Gilbert, proof will -be readily found in the Foundation Charters of St. Neot's Priory and -Tintern Abbey, in Gorham's _St. Neot's_, p. cv.; _Monasticon_, vol. v. -p. 267. - - GEO.

I should mention that there is also in the same -church another monument of a bishop (as is shown by the still -distinguishable mitre and crozier), which is also stated to be his. I -have been informed that where a monument was surmounted by a -representation of an emaciated corpse (emblematic of the poverty of -spirit in which the original was supposed to live and die), it was usual -to erect a second effigy, representing the departed as he actually -appeared to his fellow men. This last sentence I must however put in the -form of a Query, in the hope that some of your correspondents may answer -it with special reference to the supposed tomb, or tombs, of Bishop -Tully? - - SELEUCUS. - -There are two monuments of the description respecting which BURIENSIS -desires information in the county of Devon. One against the south wall -of the chancel of Feniton Church, is an elegant altar tomb ornamented -with quatrefoils, on which lies the effigy in a shroud, tied at the head -and feet. This may be assigned to the thirteenth century, but nothing -appears to indicate whether it is the monument of a priest or of one of -the Malherbe family, who were the lords of the soil. The other similar -monument is in the north aisle of the choir of Exeter Cathedral, and is -of later date. The skeleton figure lies on a slab in a recess under an -obtuse arch, all highly decorated with tracery, panels, and foliage. -This is said to be to the memory of Canon Parkhouse, buried in 1540. See -_Gough. Sepulch. Mon._ Introd. p. 111.; and Britton's _Exeter -Cathedral_, p. 139., and plate xxii. - - J. D. S. - -In the north aisle of Exeter Cathedral there is an instance similar to -that mentioned by your correspondent, BURIENSIS, of a monument with the -figure of a human skeleton lying at full length on a winding sheet. The -following inscription is over the arch: - - "Ista figura docet: nos omnes premeditari - Qualiter ipsa nocet: mors quando venit dominari." - -Tradition ascribes it to Bishop Lacy's tomb, and the vergers even at the -present day inform visitors that it was erected to commemorate his -attempt to fast during Lent. It is an exquisite piece of work. An -engraving of it may be found in Britton's _Exeter Cathedral_. I have -heard that there is a similar monument in Salisbury Cathedral, and it -appears probable, from there being more than one, that it was a -favourite device to represent the instability of human grandeur. - - EXONIENSIS. - -There is a tradition similar to that related by BURIENSIS, and alike -unfounded, concerning Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln, who is buried on the -north side of the choir of Lincoln cathedral in a chapel of his own -foundation. On the floor is an image of a decayed skeleton-like body; on -the tomb above, his effigy arrayed in his episcopal robes. - - K. P. D. E. - -I would remind your correspondent BURIENSIS of the splendid monument in -Winchester cathedral, beneath which are deposited the remains of Richard -Fox, Bishop of Winchester, and founder of Corpus Christi College, -Oxford, who died here on the 14th of September, 1528. In an oblong -niche, under the third arch, lies the figure of Bishop Fox, represented -as an emaciated corpse in a winding-sheet, with his feet resting on a -skull. It is a tradition of the vergers that he died whilst endeavouring -to imitate the example of Our Lord by a fast of forty days. - -The figure of Stephen Gardiner, Bishop of Winchester, is also -represented, like that of Fox, as a skeleton; and the same tale of a -forty days' fast traditionally delivered by the same authorities. - - E. S. S.

In Australia a hot wind blowing -from the north caused (in part at least) by bush fires in the interior, -is invariably succeeded by rain from the opposite part. - -It would not be difficult, perhaps, to assign a satisfactory reason for -a meteorological fact, which by a misnomer is dubbed "Folk Lore." - - W. C. - -It is believed in the neighbourhood of Melrose that burning the heather -brings rain. - -It must be remarked that Tweeddale runs mainly west and east; that the -heather-covered hills are all to the _west_ of this place. West wind -brings rain. - - [+] - -In the north of England, and in Scotland, and probably in all moorland -districts of the country, it is the practice of shepherds in spring, -when the heather is dry enough, to set fire to it and burn large tracts -of it, in order to get rid of the old woody plants. The young heather -which springs up from the roots produces much better and more palatable -food for the sheep. In this process, which takes place at the same time -in a whole district (viz. when there has been no rain for some time), -the whole air becomes loaded with smoke, and a very misty state of the -atmosphere is produced. It is the general belief throughout the south of -Scotland and in the Cheviot range, that this burning "doth draw downe -rain." - -Luckily this season, though there has been much moor burning, the -general expectation has been agreeably disappointed, and the weather has -now continued perfectly dry for several weeks, and appears likely to do -so for some time to come, to the great delight of the farmers, as most -propitious for sowing their grain of all kinds. - - J.

This is not the case, for the Pollan of Ireland is - distinct from the two species of _Coregonus_ found in Great - Britain." - - "The _Gwyniad_ is very numerous in Ulswater and other large lakes - of Cumberland, where on account of its large scales it is called - the _Schelly_. The fish is not unlike a herring in appearance; the - Welsh term _Gwyniad_ has reference to their silvery white colour." - -Izaak Walton notices it at the end of chap. xiii.: - - "Nor would I have you ignorant of a rare fish called a _Guiniad_," - &c. - -The _Pollan_ is principally found in Loch Neagh, also in Loch Derg and -Loch Erne. Mr. Thompson, of Belfast, says: - - "The habits of this fish do not, with the exception of having been - in some instances taken with the artificial fly, differ in any - marked respect from those of the Vendace of Scotland, or the - Gwyniad of Wales, and are in accordance with such species of - Continental Europe as are confined to inland waters, and of whose - history we have been so fully informed by Bloch." - -In 1835, Mr. Thompson published some observations on this species. The -earliest notice of it that he has seen, occurs, he says, in Harris's -_History of County Down_, 1744. - - "The Vendace or Vendis (_Coregonus Willughbii_); Vendace, - _Jardine_; Vangis and Juvangis, Penn, _Brit. Zool._, vol. iii. p. - 420.; Vendace, Knox, _Trans. R.S.E._, vol. xii. p. 503. - - "But little is known of this delicate fish," says Mr. Yarrell, - "beyond what has been published by Sir William Jardine, Bart., in - the 3rd volume of the _Edinb. Journal of Nat. and Geog. Science_, - and by Dr. Knox. The Vendace is only known in the lochs in the - neighbourhood of Lochmaben, in Dumfriesshire. Sir W. Jardine says, - 'The story that it was introduced into these lochs by the - unfortunate Mary, Queen of Scots, is mentioned by Pennant in his - description of the Gwyniad, (and it is likely that his information - was derived from this vicinity,) and is still in circulation. That - the fish was introduced from some continental lake, I have little - doubt, but would rather attribute the circumstance to some of the - religious establishments which at one time prevailed in the - neighbourhood, and which were well known to pay considerable - attention both to the table and cellar. The introduction must have - taken place by means of spawn: the fish themselves could not be - transported alive even a few miles. They are not confined to the - castle loch, but are found in several others, some of which have - no communication with that where they are thought peculiar. In - general habits, the Vendace nearly resemble the Gwyniad, and - indeed most of the allied species of the genus." - -Mr. Yarrell gives representations of two magnified specimens of their -food. - - JARLTZBERG. - - -MACARONIC POETRY. - -(Vol. v., p. 166.) - -Perhaps some of the correspondents of "N. & Q." who take an interest in -this style of composition are not acquainted with the two following -productions, which appeared at Oxford several years ago, the author of -the first being an accomplished first-class man, and, I think, a member -of Worcester College: - -1. "Viae per Angliam ferro stratae." (The Railroads); - -2. "Poema Canino-Anglico-Latinum, super adventu recenti serenissimarum -Principum." (The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria.) - -The perusal of MR. CORNISH'S curious communication (Vol. v., p. 251.) -also reminds me of the subjoined clever and amusing verses which were -written by a talented friend and schoolfellow, whose premature decease -occurred about two years ago, and which appear to be well worthy of -publication. It will be seen that the words, which are all Latin, are -quite unconnected and unmeaning, but when separated or united they -become converted into our own language, or rather into a mixture of -English and Irish. I have thought it absolutely necessary to annex a -key. - - MI MOLLE ANNI. - - _An Irish Ballad._ - - O pateo tulis aras cale fel O, - Hebetis vivis id, an sed "Aio puer vello!" - Vittis nox certias in erebo de nota olim,-- - A mite grate sinimus tonitis ovem: - "Prae sacer, do tellus, hausit," sese, - "Mi Molle anni cano te ver aegre?" - Ure Molle anu cano te ver aegre. - Vere truso aio puellis tento me; - Thrasonis plano "cum Hymen" (heu sedit), - "Diutius toga thyrso" Hymen edidit;-- - Sentior mari aget O mare nautis alter id alas! - Alludo isto terete ure daris pausas anas. - "O pater hic, heu vix en" ses Molle, and vi? - Heu itera vere grates troche in heri. - Ah Moliere arti fere procaciter intuitis! - Vos me! for de parte da vas ure arbuteis. - Thus thrasonis planas vel huma se, - Vi ure Molle anu cano te ver aegre. - Betae Molle indulgent an suetas agile,-- - Pares pector sex, uno vimen ars ille; - "Quietat ure servis Jam," sato heras heu pater, - "Audio do missus Molle, an vatis thema ter? - Ara mi honestatis, vetabit, diu se,-- - O mare, mi dare, cum specto me: - Ago in a vae aestuare, vel uno more illic, - O mare, mi dare, cum pacto ure pater hic." - Beavi ad visu civile, an socia luse, - Ure Molle an huma fore ver aegre. - - _Key._ - - MY MOLLY AND I. - - O Paty O'Toole is a rascally fellow, - He beat his wife's head, and said, "I hope you are well, O!" - With his knocks, Sir, she has in her body not a whole limb,-- - A mighty great sin I must own it is of him. - "Pray say, Sir, do tell us, how is it," says he, - "My Molly and I cannot ever agree?" - Your Molly and you cannot ever agree: - Very true, so I hope you will listen to me; - The _rason_ is plain, "O come, Hymen" (you said it), - Do ye tie us togather.

Macdonald, Esq., since deceased, but then living in Hyde Park Square, -three miniatures, which were said to be by Cooper, of Cromwell and his -two daughters. The miniatures of the women were, I thought, stiff and -harsh; but that of their father (of which only the head was finished) -appeared to me to be the finest painting of the kind that I ever saw. I -examined it through a strong magnifying glass, when the face exhibited -all the truth and force of a portrait. A high value was set upon it; but -I do not know whether it was sold, or where it is. - - ALFRED GATTY. - - [We take this opportunity of stating that we have availed ourself - of General Fox's invitation, and examined the beautiful miniature - of Cromwell, described by him in our Number for the 6th instant, - and so considerately left by him at Colnaghi's, for the inspection - of all who are interested in the subject. The General having - placed beside it the volume of Carlyle's _Cromwell_, containing - the engraving from Cooper's miniature in the possession of - Archdeacon Berners, we are bound to agree with him that the - Archdeacon's may be "better painted;" but General Fox may - certainly congratulate himself upon being the possessor of a work - of very high art, as well as of great historical interest; and one - which we are extremely pleased to have had the opportunity of - examining. It will, we believe, remain on view until the 31st.] - -_The Vellum-bound Junius_ (Vol. iii., p. 262.).--Your correspondent MR. -HAGGARD tells us, that from the time he read the private correspondence -between Junius and Woodfall he has examined all book catalogues that -came in his way, in the hope of finding a copy, or the copy, "bound in -vellum"--so bound by Woodfall, for and at the express desire of Junius. -Of course the edition so bound was "the author's edition," as Junius -calls it, the edition of 1772, printed by H. J. Woodfall. At last, says -MR. HAGGARD, "_the long-wished-for object appeared at the Stowe sale_;" -but though, he bid eight pounds, he was not so fortunate as to obtain -it. Thus far all is simple and clear enough. But then MR. HAGGARD -subsequently informs us (Vol. iii., p. 307.) that the reason of his -"being so desirous to procure this copy" was, because it was "not only -bound in vellum, but was printed on that article"--that is, as I -understand it, because it was _not_ the copy bound by Woodfall for -Junius. I am at a loss to reconcile these statements. However, as I -observe by the periodicals that MR. HAGGARD'S first statement is getting -into circulation, and that it now assumes this form--that the -vellum-bound copy of Junius presented by Woodfall to Junius was sold at -the Stowe sale, I think it right to state, that the Stowe copy, printed -on and bound in vellum, was, as I am informed on good authority, not the -edition of 1772--not a Woodfall edition at all--but the common -illustrated edition, printed more than thirty years after, by Bensley, -for Vernor and Hood. - - V. B. J. - -_Sept_ (Vol. v., p. 277.).--Dr. Ogilvie's derivation is absurdly -far-fetched. _Sept_ is notoriously from the Latin _septus_ or _septum_, -_inclosed_, _an inclosure_, and it is applied to one kindred or family -living in or round the inclosure in which they herded their cattle. See -Spenser's _Ireland_; see also Cole's _Dictionary_: - - "SEPT, an inclosure; the multitude of the same name in Ireland." - -In ancient Rome certain classes of voters were called _Septs_, from the -_septa_ or _inclosures_ in which they were arranged. - - C. - -_Many Children_ (Vol. v., p. 204.).--I am indebted to the Rev. J. -Sanford, orderly preacher at the Rolls chapel, for the subjoined curious -statement, which you may add, if you please, to the instances of female -fecundity already recorded in your pages. - -The Marchese Frescobaldi, the representative of one of the most ancient -Florentine families, is still possessed of a portrait of his ancestress, -Dionora Salviati, wife of Bartolomeo Frescobaldi of the same house. She -gave birth to fifty-two children, never less than three at a time; and -there is a tradition in the family that she once had six, and that -twelve were reared. The portrait was painted by the celebrated Bronzino, -who died in 1570, and has recorded the remarkable circumstance in the -following inscription placed under the picture, and in some degree has -thus made himself responsible for the authenticity of the story:-- - - "Dionora Salviati moglie di Bartolomeo dei Frascobaldi, fece 52 - figli, e mai meno di tre per parto, come riferesce Gio. Schenzio - nei libri delle osservazioni amirabili, cioe nel libro quarto de - Parto a carta 144." - - BRAYBROOKE. - -Relative to extraordinary births, I may mention that within half a dozen -miles of this city, and not more than six weeks since, a poor woman gave -birth to four children, two of each sex, and all, with the mother, doing -well. Some millions are born without such, as I may term it, a -phenomenon. - -In a very late Brussells paper I find it stated, that in nine years the -wife of a tradesman had twenty-four children, three on each -delivery,--"chose desesperante (it is added) pour le mari, qui desirait -transmettre son nom, car c'etaient toutes des filles." Mercier, in his -_Tableau de Paris_ (1786) quotes _L'Histoire de l'Academie des Sciences_ -of the preceding century for a similar fact, where it is asserted that a -baker's wife had twenty-one children in seven years, three at each -birth, and that he had again three children at a birth by a servant -maid. - - J.

In Curtis' -_Topographical History of Leicestershire_ (printed, by-the-bye, at -Ashby), he subjoins to the modern names of places the ancient names as -found in _Domesday Book_, Inquisitiones post mortem, &c. It appears that -_Norton juxta Twycross_ was in other days "Nortone, Hoggenortone, Hog's -Norton." There is, then, no doubt as to which of the many Nortons in -England is Hog's Norton: but whether there is now, or ever was, an organ -in the church; or whether a Mr. Pigge, or any number of _pigs_, played -on one there, I know not. - - S.

One would hope that a question of so much and such -serious monument would not be permitted to remain undetermined, if by -any possibility it can be cleared up. - -I well knew the medical man who attended the case, and gave evidence at -the trial,--he was cruelly assailed afterwards by some who had taken a -prejudice against him, and no doubt suffered in his practice in -consequence. - - T.

There is a letter there from the English ambassador at Paris to -his Court, with an account of the Queen Dowager's visit to France: he -mentions that King Henry had been captivated by one of the ladies in -Mary's train, who, it was reported, was with child to him.

Dr. -William Smith's _New Dictionary of Classical Geography_ may be expected -to supply the desideratum, in regard to places known to the Greeks and -Romans, but will not, I presume, take up all the names in Baudrand's -_Dictionary_. Its title-page reads as follows: - - "Novum Lexicon Geographicum, in quo universi orbis oppida, urbes, - regiones, provinciae, regna, emporia, academiae, metropoles, flumina - et maria, _antiquis et recentibus nominibus appellata_, suisque - distantiis descripta, recensentur.

May, in his _Guide to Stratford-upon-Avon_, published -about twenty years since, gives the following description of an elm, -which is probably the one referred to by your correspondent. After -describing the hamlet of Bishopton, he writes: - - "In varying our return to Stratford, pursuing thus the path along - the Henley road, we pass at the town's entrance the now decaying - 'Gospel Tree,' that still indicates the boundary of the borough in - this direction, towards the 'Dove house close.' In a perambulation - of the boundaries, made here on the 7th of April, 1591[3], this - elm--judging from its now decayed and weather-beaten aspect--is - the one there noted as seated on the boundary in this direction, - whence the line is therein stated as continuing, to 'the two elms - in Evesham highway.' Such a perambulation was anciently made - yearly, during Rogation week, by the clergy, magistrates, and - burgesses; not omitting, for evidence' sake, the boys of the - grammar school, who then doubtless received, as still is - customary, some _sensitive_ reminiscences of local - limitation."--May's _Guide to Stratford-upon-Avon_, p. 92. - - [Footnote 3: "Presentment" in the possession of R. Wheler, Esq.] - -The author gives a very plausible reason for the tree's peculiar name, -in the ensuing remark: - - "When the bound mark was a tree, as in the present instance, a - passage of Scripture was read beneath its branches, a collect was - recited, and a psalm was sung. Hence its sacred designation, long - retained, but now well nigh forgotten."--_Ibid._ p. 93. - - SOUTHAMIENSIS. - -_Gospel Oaks_ (Vol. v., p. 209.).--Near the hamlet of Cressage, co. -Salop, is a very old oak tree, under which tradition says the first -missionaries of the Gospel to this land preached. The name of the -hamlet, _Cressage_, is, I have been told, a contraction of _Christ's -Oak_. - -There is also, near Dudley, a place called _Round Oak_; and on the road -between Walsall and Lichfield, near the latter, may still be seen the -old _Shire Oak_. - -At _Stanford's Bridge_, co. Worcester, is a place called the _Apostles' -Oak_; and in the parish of _Hartlebury_, in the same county, is a tree -bearing the name of the _Mitre Oak_. Both these places, and also a -_Rock_, have contended for the honour of being the scene of the -conference of St. Augustine and the British bishops, A.D. 603. (Nash, -vol. ii. p. 399.) - - J. N.

In Kent, if a person -has been talking at random, it is not uncommon to hear it said, "you are -talking _havers_," or _folly_. Now I find in an old dictionary that the -word _havers_ means _oats_; and therefore I conclude, that the phrase -"to sow your wild oats" means nothing more than "to sow folly." - - RUBY. - -_Portrait of Mrs. Percy_ (Vol. v., p. 227.).--The picture of Mrs. Percy -holding in her hand the scroll, mentioned by W.

She -remembered many of the old soldier's anecdotes of the stirring times in -which he lived, and I now regret having been so careless as not to have -taken any Note of them. He was, I believe, the last of his race. I hold -his commission, signed by the celebrated Tyrconnell, and also many old -deeds, some of which are prior to the reign of Richard II., and of which -he was said to be very careful, though on examination they have proved -to be of no value, except as antiques. - - [Footnote 4: Her grand-uncle.] - -As a descendant I should be much gratified if some of your -correspondents could give me any information as to the family of -Chamberlaine, when they came into Ireland, and who is now the chief -representative of that name? - - T.

John Rogers of Beminster, Dorsetshire, from 1796 to 1810, - when he removed to Tisbury, Wiltshire, where he died in 1815, aged - 57, leaving two daughters, viz. - - | - ------------------------------ - 2 | | 1 - Sarah = George d'r. wife of - widow Brough. George - d'd Long of - 7 July, Clapham - 1846, Park - aet. 39. Academy, - 1846." - - [Footnote 5: Seventh in direct lineal male descent from the - protomartyr.] - - E. D. - -_English Translation of the Canons_ (Vol. v., p. 246.).--The Queries of -M. on this subject have arisen out of an error, which I fancy must be -his own. After quoting the clause of the 36th Canon, _quodque eodem -taliter uti liceat_, he says: - - "The English translation, to which subscription is now made, has - the following rendering of the second clause: 'And that the same - may be lawfully used.' The word 'taliter' seems to be not rendered - at all." - -Of course I cannot tell on what authority he says this; but he is -certainly wrong: for in the Oxford edition (1844) of the _Homilies and -Canons_ this clause stands thus: "and that it may lawfully _so_ be -used." And so it is printed in Hodgson's _Instructions_, p. 8., and in -the Instructions to be observed by Candidates for Holy Orders in the -Diocese of London: and I myself not long ago subscribed to it in this -form. There is then no difference here at all; the Latin being rendered -by the English, not only fully, but literally. I will only add, that the -grammatical meaning of _taliter_, or _so_, appears to me in this place -to be plain enough, without requiring a "theological controversy" to -determine it. - - F. A. - -_"Arborei foetus alibi," &c._ (Vol. v., pp. 58. 189.).--I am afraid -I did not make myself intelligible in my former communication. Certainly -W. A. C. does not understand me. The question is, are we justified in -translating _alibi atque_ "otherwhere than," in like manner as we -translate _aliter atque_ "otherwise than?" W. A. C. takes for granted -that the line in question refers to only one district. But that is the -very point in doubt. The "head master's" translation makes it refer to -two. - - W. S. - -_Horn-blowing_ (Vol. v., p. 148.).--In reference to this practice, I may -state that a similar custom prevails here (Gainsborough, Lincolnshire), -but on the 29th May, or "Royal Oak Day." For some days previously the -boys collect all the birds' eggs they can find or purchase, and early in -the morning of the 29th, they may be seen returning from the woods in -crowds, with an ample supply of oak. They next procure a large quantity -of flowers, with which they construct a garland in the form of a crown, -the apples of the oak being all gilded, surrounded by flowers and -festoons of birds' eggs. The garland is then suspended across the -street, and every little urchin being provided with a horn, some the -natural horn of the cow, others of tin, similar to those formerly used -by the guard of the mail coaches, they keep up throughout the day a most -terrible blowing of horns; the doleful noise being ill in accordance -with the festivity and rejoicing which the garlands are presumed to -indicate. I have been unable to learn the origin or import of this -singular custom. - - T. DYSON. - - Gainsborough. - -"_God's Love_" (Vol. v., p. 272.).--If T. S. will refer to Wood's -_Athenae Oxon._, vol. iii. col. 698. edit. 4to., he will find all account -of the author of _God's Love_. Wood records an edition of 1659. In the -_Bibliotheca Anglo-Poetica_, No. 594., was one dated 1679; but I have -now before me the _first_, which neither Wood nor his editor appear to -have heard of. The title: - - "God's Love and Man's Vnworthiness: whereunto is annexed a - Discourse between the Soul and Satan. With several Divine - Ejaculations. Written by John Quarles. London: Printed for John - Stafford, and are to be sold at his house in S. Bride's - Church-yard; and by Humphrey Moseley, at the Prince's Armes, in - St. Paul's Church-yard; and John Holder, at the Blue Anchor, in - the New Exchange. 1651." - -Collation: the minde of the frontispiece: 8 lines verse. The -frontispiece, or engraved title: _God's Loue, Man's Vnworthiness_, by -Io. Qu. "Lord, what is man," &c. _Ps._ viii. 4. An engraved portrait of -the author, kneeling and saying, "O giue salvation vnto Israell out of -Sion!" (this unknown to Granger or Bromley: the latter records _three_ -other portraits of the author.) Then the title, as given before. The -dedication: "To my much honoured and esteemed Friend, Edward Benlowes, -Esq." To the Reader. To my Muse: "Tel me, presumptuous Muse, how dar'st -thou treat." _God's Love_, &c., pp. 1. to 66. A Dialogue, &c., pp. 67. -to 108. Pp. 109, 110. wanting in my copy, but probably blank, as the -catch-word "Divine" agrees with "Divine Ejaculations," which commence -on p. 111. and end at p. 160., thus concluding the volume. - - P. B. - -_Plague Stones_ (Vol. v., p. 226.).--One of these stones is (I believe) -still standing at Bury Saint Edmunds. In a paper read to the Bury and -West Suffolk Arch. Inst. (vide vol. i. p. 42. of the _Society's -Proceedings_) Mr. S. Tymms says: - - "The small-pox has been a frequent visitor of Bury in its most - terrible forms. In 1677, says Gillingwater (_Hist. Bury_, 226.), - it was so prevalent that the people resorting to the market by the - Rislygate Road, were accustomed to dip their money in water - (tradition says vinegar) which had been placed in _the cavity of - the ruined base of the boundary cross_ situate at the bottom of - Chalk Lane, with the view of preventing any infection being - conveyed to the neighbouring towns and villages." - -My attention has been frequently called to a stone of similar -description standing in the parish of Stuston in this county, by the -side of the Ipswich and Norwich turnpike; it is called in Kirby's -_Suffolk Traveller_, 1st ed. pp. 52-3., a "Stuston Stone" and "The White -Stone," and is nearly equidistant from Diss and Eye, between two and -three miles. - - J. B. COLMAN. - -_Melody of the Dying Swan_ (Vol. ii., p. 476., footnote; Vol. v., p. -187.).-- - - "Sed neque Cygni canunt," says Leland, in his _Cygnea Cantio_, - "nisi flante zephyro vento geniali quidem illo, si quicquam Aeliani - judicio tribuendum." - -In the work itself, which is a poetical panegyric on King Henry VIII., -the following lines occur: - - "Strepitum dedit sonorum - Cygnorum niveus chorus canentum, - Concussis alacri vigore pennis. - Applausus placuit mihi canorus." - -The last line, however, seems only to apply to the applauding sound of -the wings, and not to intimate that any music was produced by them. - - C. I. R. - -_Cimmerii_ (Vol. v., p. 188.).--The belief that the Cymry are descended -from Gomer can prove very little as to the restlessness of those who -hold it; and if it is making progress, the opinion must be supported by -probability: consequently a mere denial will not dispel the illusion. -Authors quite as remarkable for their matter-of-fact opinions as A. N. -may be, have not rejected the connexion of the Cymry with Gomer. For -instance, Volney, in his attacks on Scripture history, when examining -Gen. x. on Gomer, adopts an argument in support of this paternity, -though not in its Biblical sense, viewing Gomer as a chief. As it is not -an unusual circumstance for a nation to adopt the name of its patriarch -or founder (and on this point I would refer to a note to Gibbon's -_Decline_, chap. lxiv.), I trust I shall be excused for believing myself -descended from Gomer, until decided evidence is adduced that I am not. - -Pompeius Festus I am unacquainted with; but on consulting Plutarch, in -Mario, the following contradictory statements may be seen: "The Germans -called banditti _Cimbri_;" and, "Hence, therefore, these barbarians who -came into Italy first issued; being anciently called _Cimmerii_, and -afterwards _Cimbri_, and the appellation was _not at all from their -manners_." - -That the old Germans may have called robbers _Cimbri_, does not prove -that word implies _robbers_, or anything of the kind; but it indicates -that the intrusion of the old Germans on the lands of the Cimbri caused -the invaded to make reprisals on the invaders; and then the injured -Germans connected or identified the Cimbrian name with that of enemy or -robber. - - GOMER. - -_Stoke_ (Vol. v., pp. 106. 161. 213.).--I think that the towns and -parishes of _Tawstock_, _Culmstock_, _Tavistock_, _Plymstock_, _Stockton -on Tees_, _Severn Stoke_, _Stoke in Teignhead_, _Stoke on Tern_, _Stoke -on Trent_, must have received their names from a _stockade_ of some kind -_in_ the rivers near which they are situated. There is at a ford across -the river Severn, about half a mile from Welsh Pool, a weir made of -stakes and brushwood erected a few yards above the ford, for the sole -purpose of diminishing the force of the current, and spreading the water -into a stream of an uniform depth. I conjecture that in ancient times -the fords of our larger rivers were kept in a passable state during the -winter season by weirs of this description, and that there were fords in -the rivers at the places above mentioned. There is near Nuneaton the -chapelry of _Stock in Ford_, but I am not sufficiently acquainted with -that place to be able to conjecture from what circumstance it may have -derived its name. I infer that one meaning of the word _stoke_ is _wood_ -of any kind, from the fact that the opening through which coals are -introduced under the larger boilers in our houses is called a -_stoke-hole_, from the wood formerly used for fuel. - - S. S. S. (2). - -_King's College Chapel Windows_ (Vol. v., p 276.).--See Blomefield's -_History of Norfolk_, vol. i. p. 406., and vol. ii. p. 388. At the -latter reference, under the head of Richard Nykke or Nix, Bishop of -Norwich, 1500, occurs this passage: "This bishop incurred a premunire -for extending his jurisdiction over the Mayor of Thetford, and was fined -for it. With part of the fine, it is said, the beautiful windows in -King's College Chapel, Cambridge, were purchased." The statement is -given at greater length at the first of the above-quoted references. I -never heard of the story before I met with it in Blomefield. - - T. H. L. - -Mr. Blomefield, referring to Richard Nykke, Bishop of Norwich -(1500-1535), says he incurred a premunire for extending his -jurisdiction over the Mayor of Thetford, "and was fined for it, with -part of which fine _'tis said_ the beautiful painted glass windows in -King's College Chapel at Cambridge were purchased."--_Hist. of Norfolk_, -8vo. edit., ii. 52.; iii. 546. - -There is good foundation for the statement that this bishop "was -condemned in the premunire" (Coke's _Reports_, xii. 40, 41.); but I -question if there be authentic evidence that he "redeemed the punishment -of that offence by the glasing of the King's College Chappell windows in -Cambridge." Bishop Nykke is no doubt the prelate to whom Ferne alludes. - - C. H. COOPER. - - Cambridge. - -_Quotation Wanted_ (Vol. v., p. 228.).--"_Cujus vita despicitur_," &c., -is from S. Gregor. _Magn. Homil._ xii. in _Evangelia_, [p] 1. - - J. C. R. - -_The Great Bowyer Bible_ (Vol. v., p. 248.).--J. S. is informed that -this illustrated Bible is now in the hands of Messrs. Puttick and -Simpson, and may be seen at their sale-rooms in Piccadilly. - - F. S. Q. - -_Showing the White Feather_ (Vol. v., p. 274.).--The white feather is -the sign of the cross-bred bird; you will never see one in my tail. - - GAMECOCK. - -_John Lord Berkeley_ (Vol. v., p. 275.) never was Bishop of Ely. John -Lord Berkeley of Stratton, the second son of John Berkeley, was a -British admiral; he died on the 27th of July, 1696-7, not more than -thirty-four years of age, during eight of which he had filled the office -of admiral. See Rose's _Biographical Dictionary_. - - TYRO. - - Dublin. - -_History of Commerce_ (Vol. v., p. 276.).--C. I. P. will, I think, find -much of the information required in David Macpherson's _Annals of -Commerce_, London, 1805, 4 vols. 4to. particularly in vols. iii. and -iv.; also in _The History of European Commerce with India_, by the same -author, London 1812, 4to. Neither of them is entered in the Bodleian -Catalogue. - - C. I. R. - -_Game of Curling_ (Vol. v., p. 13.).--The third volume of Tytler's -_Lives of Scottish Worthies_ (No. 37. of the _Family Library_) contains -a series of antiquarian illustrations, of which the last is devoted to -"Ancient Scottish Games and Amusements." The author refers particularly -to the MS. accounts of the Lord High Treasurer during the reign of King -James IV. (1488-1513), in which, however, there appears to be no notice -of the "roaring game." The origin of this favourite amusement is -certainly involved in mystery, and I have repeatedly failed in my -endeavours to ascertain the meaning of the name by which the game is -known. On consulting the abridgment of Jamieson's _Dictionary_ for the -derivation, I find the following:-- - - "Perhaps from Teut. _krollen_, _krull-en_, sinuare, flectere, - whence E. _curl_; as the great art of the game is to make the - stones bend or curve in towards the mark, when it is so blocked up - that they cannot be directed in a straight line." - - E. N. - -_Ancient Trees_ (Vol. iv., pp. 401. &c.).--Notwithstanding the assertion -of Dr. Johnson, many fine specimens of timber have long existed to the -north of the Tweed. At p. 20. of the _Edinburgh Antiquarian Magazine_ -(Edin. 1848) will be found a "List of Scottish Trees, of remarkable -magnitude, as they existed in 1812," including numerous examples of the -oak, larch, ash, elm, beech, silver fir, Scots fir, sycamore, chesnut, -black poplar, and yew. One of the largest in the catalogue is the great -yew at Fortingal, in Perthshire, measured by the Hon. Judge Barrington -in 1768, when its circumference was no less than fifty-two feet. - - E. N. - -_Paring the Nails, &c._ (Vol. v., pp. 142. &c.).-- - - "Now no superfluity of our food, or in general no excrementitious - substance, is looked upon by them (the Egyptian priests) as pure - and clean; such, however, are all kinds of wool and down, our hair - and our nails. It would be the highest absurdity therefore for - those who, whilst they are in a course of purification, are at so - much pains to take off the hair from every part of their own - bodies, at the same time to cloath themselves with that of other - animals. So when we are told by Hesiod 'not to pare our nails, - whilst we are present at the festivals of the Gods,' we ought so - to understand him as if he designed hereby to inculcate that - purity with which we ought to come prepared, before we enter upon - any religious duty, that we have not to make ourselves clean, - whilst we ought to be occupied in attending to the solemnity - itself."--Plutarch's Treatise of _Isis and Osiris_, translated by - Squire, p. 5. 1744. - -This note will show the great antiquity of these nail-paring and -hair-cutting superstitions.

The - inscription also on the stone that covers ASHMOLE'S grave, who was - himself buried in Lambeth Church, is now very nearly effaced. The - restoration of that Church, now nearly finished, seems a fit - occasion for repairing both these Monuments. It is therefore - proposed to raise a fund for the perfect restoration of the Tomb - of the TRADESCANTS, according to its original form, as represented - in two drawings preserved in the Pepysian Library at Cambridge, - and also for renewing ASHMOLE'S epitaph. The cost will not be less - than 100_l._, and assistance is earnestly requested from all who - are anxious to preserve ancient monuments, especially those who - are following the same pursuits as the TRADESCANTS, and who are - daily deriving benefit and delight from the labours and - discoveries of these first of English gardeners and naturalists. - - Contributions may be paid to, - - Sir William J.
