J. Sanford has authorised me to place the following letter in -your hands, in order that you may print it in "N. & Q." should it appear -to be of sufficient interest. - - BRAYBROOKE. - -"I send you an account of the very memorable scene which occurred at -Madame Bonaparte's drawing-room on the 13th of March, 1803. I believe I -am the only living witness, as those who were near the person of Lord -Whitworth were members of the corps diplomatique, Cobenzel, Marcoff, -Lucchesini, all dead. Many years after I became intimately acquainted -with the Marchese Lucchesini at Florence, when I had an opportunity of -referring to that remarkable conversation. - -"It was announced that Madame Bonaparte was to receive on the following -Sunday, and it was reported that she was to have maids of honour for the -first time; a little curiosity was excited on this score. The apartment -of Madame B. was on the opposite side of the Tuilleries in which -Bonaparte held his levees. I was acquainted with Lord Whitworth, who -told me to place myself near to him, in order to afford facility for -presentation, as Madame B. would occupy an arm-chair to which he -pointed, and on each side of which were two tabourets. As all foreigners -had been presented to General B. at his levee, his presence was not -expected. The rooms, two in number, were not very large; the ladies were -seated round the rooms in arm-chairs: a passage was left, I suppose, for -Madame B. to pass without obstacle. When the door of the adjoining room -was opened, instead of Madame B. the First Consul entered; and as Lord -Whitworth was the first ambassador he encountered, he addressed him by -enquiring about the Duchess of Dorset's health, she being absent from a -cold. He then observed that we had had fifteen years' war; Lord W. -smiled very courteously, and said it was fifteen years too much. We -shall probably, replied General B., have fifteen years more: and if so, -England will have to answer for it to all Europe, and to God and man. He -then enquired where the armaments in Holland were going on, for he knew -of none. Then for a moment he quitted Lord W. and passed all the -ladies' addressing Mrs. Greathead only, though the Duchess of Gordon and -her daughter, Lady Georgina, were present. After speaking to several -officers in the centre of the room, which was crowded, he returned to -Lord W. and asked why Malta was not given up. Lord W. then looked more -serious, and said he had no doubt that Malta would be given up when the -other articles of the treaty were complied with. General B. then left -the room, and Madame B. immediately entered. As soon as the drawing-room -was over, I observed to Lord W. that it was the first cabinet council I -had ever witnessed; he laughingly answered, by far the most numerously -attended. Lord W. then addressed the American Minister, who was very -deaf, and repeated what had passed, and I perceived that he was very -much offended at what had occurred. In justice to the First Consul, I -must say that the impropriety consisted in the unfitness of the place -for such a subject; the tone of his voice was not raised, as was said at -the time. He spoke in the same tone as when he enquired for the Duchess -of Dorset." - - -NOTES ON PRYNNE'S BREVIATE, BY ARCHBISHOP LAUD. - -I have two Queries to propose; but before I can do so effectually, it is -necessary to enter into an explanation and statement of facts, which may -be considered as Notes conveying information which will, I anticipate, -prove new and interesting to many readers of "N. & Q." - -On the 2nd of September, 1644, Archbishop Laud, then a man of more than -threescore years and ten, but still with intellect vigorous, active, and -unimpaired by age or trouble, appeared at the bar of the House of Lords, -to recapitulate in one address the various points of his defence, which -had been made at intervals during the six months previous, as the trial -had gone on, from time to time, since the 12th of the preceding March. -On coming to the bar, he was for the moment staggered by seeing, in the -hands of each of his judges, a blue book, containing, as he had just -learnt, great part of his own most secret memoranda and most private -thoughts, extracted by the bitterest of his opponents out of his Diary -and MS. book of devotions. This was Prynne's _Breviate of the Life of -William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury; extracted (for the most part)_ -verbatim _out of his own Diary, and other writings, under his own hand_. - - "So soon as I came to the bar," (this is his own account,) "I saw - every Lord present with a new thin book in folio, in a blue coat. - I heard that morning that Mr. Pryn had printed my Diary, and - published it to the world, to disgrace me. Some notes of his own - are made upon it. The first and the last are two desperate - untruths, beside some others. This was the book then in the Lords' - hands, and I assure myself, that time picked for it, that the - sight of it might damp me, and disinable me to speak. I confess I - was a little troubled at it. But after I had gathered up myself, - and looked up to God, I went on to the business of the day, and - thus I spake."--_History of Troubles and Trial_, c. xlii. pp. 411, - 412. - -In his defence he turned this circumstance, and the use previously made -of his Diary and Devotions during the course of his trial, very happily -to account. After speaking of the means which had been used to frame the -charges against him, how he had been "sifted to the very bran," he says: - - "My very pockets searched; and my Diary, nay, my very Prayer Book - taken from me, and after used against me; and that, in some cases, - not to prove, but to make a charge. Yet I am thus far glad, even - for this sad accident. For by my Diary your Lordships have seen - the passages of my life; and by my Prayer Book, the greatest - secrets between God and my soul: so that you may be sure you have - me at the very bottom. Yet, blessed be God, no disloyalty is found - in the one; no Popery in the other."--_Ibid._ c. xliii. p. 413. - -The recapitulation over, the Archbishop was remanded to the Tower, and -prosecuted the work on which he had been long engaged, _The History of -his Troubles and Tryal_: intending, when that was finished, to publish a -reply to this _Breviate_. His words are: - - "For this _Breviate_ of his, if God lend me life and strength to - end this (the History) first, I shall discover to the world the - base and malitious slanders with which it is fraught."--_Ibid._ c. - xx. p. 254. - -His life was not spared to do more than carry on that History to the day -preceding the passing of the bill of attainder by the Lords, three -months after the publication of the _Breviate_. Thus it ends: - - "And thus far had I proceeded in this sad history by Jan. 3, - 1644-45. The rest shall follow as it comes to my - knowledge."--_Ibid._ c. xlvi. p. 443. - -Wharton adds this note: - - "Next day the Archbishop, receiving the news that the bill of - attainder had passed the House of Lords, broke off his history, - and prepared himself for death." - -He was beheaded the 10th day of the same month, January 1645. - -The information I have to communicate, after this long preface, is, that -a copy of this book of Prynne's, with marginal notes by the Archbishop, -made apparently in preparation for the answer which he contemplated, is -still extant; and I shall be thankful to any of your readers who can -give any further information on the subject. - -In this copy the notes are only a transcript from those made by the -Archbishop; and partly, perhaps, owing to the narrow margin of Prynne's -book, we have to regret that they are not more copious; but, such they -are, they are of value, as throwing new light on some points of history; -and they appear not to have been known to any of the biographers of -Laud, or to those who, as Archbishop Sancroft and Wharton, sought most -carefully after his literary remains. - -The volume of which I speak is the property of an Institution at -Warrington, "The Warrington Museum and Library," to which it was -presented by Mr. Crosfield, of Fir Grove, Latchford, at the time of the -library being established, in 1848, having been bought by his father at -a book-stall in Manchester some years previously. - -A transcript of the notes is now before me; which the Committee of the -Museum have, with great liberality, allowed to be made for the edition -of the Archbishop's works now publishing in _The Anglo-Catholic -Library_. The readiness which they have shown to impart the benefit of -their collection, and the kindness with which the Hon. Secretary, Mr. -Marsh, has given a full and accurate account of the MS. information, and -himself transcribed the notes, deserve the most public acknowledgment. - -That the notes in this volume are not written by the Archbishop is -proved decisively, not only by the handwriting, but by the following -note on Prynne's translation of the _Diary_, at p. 9. last line,--"I, -whiles others were absent, held the cup to him," on which the following -is the note:-- - - "In yt Breviate in which ye Archbp. has made [his notes], 'tis - printed city, and in this place he has [written] 'In my diary 'tis - calicem. Note that....'" - -Owing to the edge of the paper being worn, some parts of the note are -lost; they have been conjecturally filled up by the words in brackets. - -On the title-page is written, in a hand cotemporary with the transcript: - - "Memorand. Mr. Prynn presented this worke of his to the Lds. Sep. - 2nd, 1644, ye same day that ye poor Archbp. was to make his - recapitulation, divers Lords holding it in their hands all the - while, &c." - -And beneath this, apparently in the same hand, is written: - - "This I suppose was written by Mr. Dell, secretary to Archbp." - -It is inferred that this memorandum had been made by Mr. Dell on the -Archbishop's copy, and transcribed together with the notes. - -Now the Queries I have to make are these three: - -1. Whether any copies of Prynne's _Breviate_ are extant, having, in the -last line of the ninth page cited above, the misprint _city_ for -_cup_?[1] - -2. Whether any information can be given which may lead to the discovery -of the copy containing the original notes of the Archbishop, of which -the Warrington copy is a transcript? - -3. Whether any allusion to the fact of the Archbishop having made such -notes is made by any cotemporary writer? Antony Wood, Wharton, and -Heylin do not mention it. - -In respect to the second Query, I presume to ask every one who has -access to a copy of Prynne's _Breviate_ to look into it, and see whether -it contains MS. marginal notes. I do so, because in so many cases copies -of works stand in their places in libraries unopened, and with contents -unknown; the knowledge of their special value having perhaps been -possessed by some curious collector or librarian, but not being noted -down, having died with him: and the owner of the volume, should it be -found, will receive his reward in the consciousness of possessing a -treasure, such as it is, which before he knew not of--some of the last -writing of a great man, imprisoned and anticipating death, who was -engaged in vindicating himself from misrepresentation and calumnies, -part of which had adhered to his memory till these notes came to light. - -For the identification of that volume, should it be found, and for the -information of your readers, I will transcribe the first paragraph of -the _Breviate_, with the Archbishop's _marginalia_: - - "Hee was borne at _Redding_ in _Barkshire_, _October 7, 1573_, of - poore (a) and obscure (b) parents, in a cottage (c), just over - against the (d) Cage: which Cage since his comming to the - Archbishoprick of _Canterbury_, upon complaint of Master - _Elveston_ (that it was a dishonour the Cage should be suffered to - stand so neare the house, where so great a royall Favourite and - Prelate had his birth) was removed to some other place; and the - cottage (e) pulled downe, and new-built by the Bishop." - - (a) "All this, if true, is no fault of mine." - - (b) "My father had born all offices in ye town save ye mayoralty." - - (c) "The howsing wh'ch my father dwelt in is rented at this day - at thirty-three pounds a year." - - (d) "The Cage stood two streets off from my father's house all his - life time, and divers years after, as many yet living know. By - whom it was remov'd into yt street, and why out again, I know - not." - - (e) "No one stick of ye cottage was pulled down by me." - -The passage which concludes the notes on p. 35. is unfortunately maimed -by the wearing away of the edges of the leaves; it is as follows:-- - - ... "And as I hope for comfort in my Saviour this is true ... - uncharitable conclusion, my life is in ye hands of God ... - blessed be His name. But let not Mr. Pryn call for Blood...." - -It should be added that the volume has been formerly in the hands of -some one who took an interest in the Archbishop's history, as a few -notes in a handwriting of the last century are inserted on slips in -various parts of the volume, chiefly passages from the _Diary_ -"maliciously omitted by Prynne." - -The writer of this notice has not the means of identifying the hand by -which these more recent notes, or the transcript of those of the -Archbishop, were written; but will take this occasion of suggesting what -has often appeared to him a great desideratum in literature--that is, a -collection of fac-similes of the autographs of distinguished people, -whether literary or public characters; not merely their signatures, -which are found in existing collections of autography, but passages -sufficiently long to aid in identifying their ordinary writing, and, if -possible, taken from writing made at different periods of their lives. -With the improvements of mechanical skill which we enjoy, such works -might be afforded at a much cheaper rate than formerly, and would, it is -conceived, command a remunerating sale. - -It remains only to add, that information on the points about which -inquiry is made may be communicated through the medium of the "N. & Q.," -or by letter to the Rev. James Bliss, Ogborne St. Andrew, near -Marlborough, who is engaged in editing the works of Archbishop Laud; and -who would be glad to receive any information with respect to unpublished -letters or papers of the Archbishop. - - C. R. O. - - [Footnote 1: [It is clear there have been two editions of Prynne's - _Breviate_, both printed in the year 1644. The copy in the King's - Library, at the British Museum, contains the misprinted word - _city_, but is corrected in the Errata, at the bottom of p. 35.; - whereas the copy in the Grenville Library has it correctly printed - _cup_, and the list of Errata is omitted.--ED.]] - - -EPITAPH ON VOLTAIRE. - -I send you two versions of the epitaph on Voltaire given in Vol. iv., p. -73., not for their intrinsic merit, but as illustrations of a curious -physiological trait, as to the nature and power, or powerlessness, of -memory: - - "Plus bel esprit que grand génie, - Sans loi, sans moeurs, et sans vertu, - Il est mort, comme il a vécu, - Couvert de gloire et d'infamie." - -Version No. 1.: - - "With far less intellect than wit, - Lawless, immoral, and debased; - His life and death each other fit, - At once applauded and disgraced." - -Version No. 2.: - - "Much more a wit, than man of mind; - Alike to law, truth, morals blind! - Consistent as he lived he died, - His age's scandal, and its pride." - -These are not offered as competing in excellence, for they are both the -productions of the same mind, but for the purpose of recording the -following remarkable fact respecting their composition. No. 2. was -written down immediately on reading your Number in July last (1851); -having composed it, I took from my library shelf Lord Brougham's _Life -of Voltaire_, in which I knew the lines were, for the purpose of -pencilling in my rendering of them. You may conceive my surprise at -finding already there the version No. 1. with the date 1848, which I had -made in that year, but of which I had so totally lost all remembrance, -that not a single turn of thought or expression in one resembles the -other. I perfectly remember the mental process of hammering out No. 2., -and can confidently affirm that, during the time, no recollection -whatever of No. 1., or anything about it, ever crossed my thought. I -fear such a total obliteration is a token of failure in a faculty once -powerful and accurate, but, perhaps, unduly tasked; yet I offer it to be -recorded as a singular fact connected with this wonderful function of -mind. - - A.

One ballad, parts of which, as well as the -tune, still haunt my memory, I have tried to recover in its integrity -but in vain; and of all the little wearers of frocks and pinafores, who -had the privilege of occasionally assembling round the dear old lady's -tea-table, and for whose amusement she was wont to sing it, I fear I am -the sole survivor. The associations connected with this song may perhaps -have invested it with an undue degree of interest to me, but I think it -sufficiently curious to desire to insert as much as I can remember of it -in "N. & Q." in the hope that some of your correspondents may be able to -supply the deficiencies. I wish I could at the same time convey an idea -of the air. It began in a slow quaint strain, with these words:-- - - "Oh! was it eke a pheasant cock, - Or eke a pheasant hen, - Or was it the bodye of a faire ladye - Come swimming down the stream? - Oh! it was not a pheasant cock, - Nor eke a pheasant hen, - But it was the bodye of a faire ladye, - Came swimming down the stream." - -For the next two verses I am at fault, but their purport was that the -body "stopped hard by a miller's mill," and that this "miller chanced to -come by," and took it out of the water "to make a melodye." - -My venerable friend's tune here became a more lively one, and the time -quicker; but I can only recollect a few of the couplets, and those not -correctly, nor in order of sequence, in which the transformation of the -lady into a viol is described: - - "And what did he do with her fair bodye? - Fal the lal the lal laral lody. - He made it a case for his melodye, - Fal, &c. - And what did he do with her legs so strong? - Fal, &c. - He made them a stand for his violon, - Fal, &c. - And what did he do with her hair so fine? - Fal, &c. - He made of it strings for his violine, - Fal, &c. - And what did he do with her arms so long? - Fal, &c. - He made them bows for his violon, - Fal, &c. - And what did he do with her nose so thin? - Fal, &c. - He made it a bridge for his violin, - Fal, &c. - And what did he do with her eyes so bright? - Fal, &c. - He made them spectacles to put to his sight, - Fal, &c. - And what did he do with her petty toes? - Fal, &c. - He made them a nosegay to put to his nose, - Fal, &c." - - G. A. C. - - -Minor Notes. - -_Doctor Johnson a Prophet._--Can any of your readers inform me where the -following anecdote is recorded? It bears the mark of authenticity, and -if so adds, to the extraordinary gifts of the great moralist, that of -prophecy; be it observed, however, that the prognostication is founded -on a deduction of science. As the Doctor was one evening leaning out of -the window of his house in Bolt Court, Fleet Street, he observed the -parish lamplighter nimbly ascend a ladder for the purpose of lighting -one of the old glimmering oil lamps which only served to make "darkness -visible." The man had scarcely descended the ladder half way, when he -discovered that the flame had expired; quickly returning he lifted the -cover partially, and thrusting the end of his torch beneath it, the -flame was instantly communicated to the wick by the thick vapour which -issued from it. - -"Ah!" exclaimed the Doctor, after a pause, and giving utterance to his -thoughts, "Ah! one of these days the streets of London will be lighted -by smoke!" It is needless to add that in the succeeding century the -prediction was verified. - - M. W. B. - -_Coleridge and Plato._--Without becoming "a piddler in minute -plagiarisms" (as Gifford called Warton), I think the following -coincidence worth noting. S. T. Coleridge, in his "Lines on an Autumnal -Evening," has these lines: - - "On seraph wing I'd float a dream by night, - To soothe my love with shadows of delight; - Or soar aloft to be the spangled skies. - And gaze upon her with a thousand eyes." - -Plato had written ("To Stella," in _Anthol. Palat._): - - [Greek: Asteras eisathreis Astêr emos; eithe genoimên - Ouranos hôs myriois ommasin eis se blepô.] - -I cannot withhold Shelley's exquisite version: - - "Fair star of life and love, my soul's delight! - Why lookest thou on the crystalline skies? - O that my spirit were yon heaven of night, - Which gazes on thee with its thousand eyes!" - -_Revolt of Islam_, c. ix. st. 36. - -Dr. Wellesley's _Anthologia Polyglotta_ contains several versions of -Plato's lines. There is also one by Swynfen Jervis, in Lewis's -_Biographical History of Philosophy_, s. v. Plato. - - C. P. PH***. - -_Epitaph in St. Giles' Church, Norwich._-- - - "ELIZABETHA BEDINGFIELD, - Sorori Francisce Sve - S. R. Q.

Q. P.?" - - NEDLAM. - -_Hair in Seals._--Stillingfleet, referring to a MS. author, who wrote a -chronicle of St. Augustine's, says: - - "He observes one particular custom of the Normans, _that they were - wont to put some of the hair of their heads or beards into the wax - of their seals_: I suppose rather to be kept as monuments than as - adding any strength or weight to their charters. So he observes, - _that some of the hair of William, Earl of Warren, was in his time - kept in the Priory of Lewis_."--_Orig. Brit._, chap. I., _Works_, - Lond. 1710, tom. iii. p. 13. - - J. SANSOM. - -_To_ "_eliminate_."--The meaning of this word, according both to its -etymology and its usage in the Latin authors, is quite clear; it is to -"turn out of doors." Figuratively, it has been used by mathematicians to -denote the process by which all incidental matters are gradually thrown -out of an equation to be solved, &c., so that only its essential -conditions at last remain. Of late, however, I have observed it used not -of the _act_ of elimination, but of the _result_; a sense quite foreign -to its true meaning, and producing great ambiguity. Thus, in a recent -Discourse, the object of biblical exegesis is declared to be "the -_elimination_ of the statements of the Bible respecting doctrine;" the -author evidently meaning, not what his words imply,--to get rid of the -statements of the Bible,--though that has been sometimes the problem of -exegesis, but to present the doctrinal result in a clear form, and -detached from everything else. - - A PRECISIAN. - - - - -Queries. - - -ALGERNON SYDNEY. - -In no way, perhaps, has "N. & Q." been so useful to the literary public -as in making itself the ready means of concentrating on any given point -the various readings of many persons; unless, indeed, it should be -considered more useful to have proved how courteous, how willing to -oblige--even at some personal sacrifices--men of reading are in this day -and generation. The information recently sent from so many quarters in -relation to General Wolfe is a good example of what may be done in other -cases; that about Sterne in Paris is another. The latter instance -suggests to me a way in which some of your correspondents, whose private -communications I have had to acknowledge in reference to other -inquiries, might do me a real service at no great inconvenience perhaps -to themselves. - -I am collecting materials for a volume on Algernon Sydney. A great part -of this illustrious patriot's life was spent abroad; in many parts of -the continent, France, Holland, Denmark, Italy, Germany, &c. This part -of his history has been so far veiled in considerable obscurity, and -incidents of it misrepresented. Some better knowledge of it than we now -possess, must be, I think, recoverable. A man of Sydney's birth, active -temperament, and distinguished abilities, must have been spoken of in -many letters and memoirs of that time. No doubt anecdotes and traits of -character may be found in cotemporary French, Italian, German, and -Scandinavian literature. - -But with a library so vast to examine, no single man could ever feel -sure that nothing was overlooked. Other explorers, working for -themselves, may have hit upon statements or anecdotes of the greatest -value to me. May I ask any such to oblige me by references to any works -in which the information that I seek is to be found; sent either to "N. -& Q.," or to my address as under? - - HEPWORTH DIXON. - - 84. St. John's Wood Terrace. - - -OLD IRISH TALES. - -A black-letter duodecimo, printed in London in 1584, under the anomalous -title of _Beware the Cat_, was advertised for sale in one of Thorpe's -Catalogues a few years back, at a price of seven guineas. The copy was -believed to be unique; it had been in the libraries of several book -collectors, and among others of Mr. Heber, who considered it the most -curious volume illustrative of the times, in all his vast collection. It -appears, by the short abstract of contents, that the book contains some -curious notices of Ireland and Irishmen; an "account" is given "of the -civil wars in Ireland, by Mackmorro, and all the rest of the wild Irish -lords." This hero was probably Art Kavanagh, "the Mac-Morrogh" (the -hereditary title of the chief of the Leinster septs) whose rebellions -were, on two occasions, the cause of Richard II.'s two great expeditions -to Ireland. Then follows the tale of "Fitz-Harris and the Prior of -Tintern Abbey." Fitz-Harris, or Fitz-Henry, was an Anglo-Irish baron, -who resided in the south of the county of Wexford, in the neighbourhood -of a convent, which having been founded by Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, -and supplied with monks from Tintern in Monmouthshire, was named after -the parent monastery. The Fitz-Harris's are said to have descended from -Meyler Fitz-Henry, the "indomitor totius gentis Hiberniæ," but they -became, to quote Spenser's adage current of the Anglo-Irish of his day, - - "As Irish as O'Hanlan's breech;" - -they "matched with the Kavanaghs of Carlow, and held with them," and -thus became involved in the interminable feuds of the native tribes, -and, like them, they left their estates to their bastards. - -"The fashion of the Irish wars at that time" is there described, but -probably not more graphically than in Derrick's quaint doggrel verses. -"The Irish Churle's Tale" is next told; the churl was the husbandman, -the "Protectionist" of the day, who doubtless could tell many piteous -tales of oppression, rapine, and ravishment, whose only hope of -protection lay in acting as a sort of sponge to some "wild lord" (who -would guard him from being plundered by others, that he might himself -devour his substance), and whose "tenant-right" cry of that day was -"spend me, but defend me." - -The volume affirms that "the wild Irishmen were better than we in -reverencing their religion:" the verb is used in the preterimperfect -tense. "The old Irish diet was to dine at night;" this is even a -stranger assertion. Higden, in his _Polychronicon_, declares of the -Irish clergy, - - "They ben chaste, and sayen many prayers, and done great - abstinence a-day, and drinketh all night." - -That glorious _chanson à boire_, commencing - - "I cannot eat but little meat, - My stomach is not good; - But I do think that I can drink - With him that wears a hood!" - -must have been composed in Ireland. If the old black-letter book had -said that the Irish _got their dinner_ at night, it would have been -nearer the truth, for the larders of the Milesian chiefs in the -neighbourhood of the English pale were often supplied by the nocturnal -marauds of their cattle-lifters. However, I see that Stanihurst writes -that the Irish dined in winter _before_ day, and in summer about the -seventh hour. - -Can any of your readers say in whose possession this book is now?

Until the Reformation the altar in the old -chancel would probably remain after the new chancel was built, and be -used as an inferior altar, while the new altar would be used for high -mass; under these circumstances the rector's right in the chancel would -probably remain untouched, and his obligation to keep it in repair -undisputed. But when, at the Reformation, all but high altars were taken -away, which chancel was accounted the rector's, the new, or the old, or -both? This question has just arisen in an adjoining county. - - H. C.

II., used to explain it thus:--When the Conqueror marched - from Dover towards London, he was stopped at Swansconope, by - Stigand, at the head of the "Men of Kent," with oak boughs "all on - their brawny shoulders," as emblems of peace, on condition of his - preserving inviolate the Saxon laws and customs of Kent; else they - were ready to fight unto the death for them. The Conqueror chose - the first alternative: hence we retain our Law of Gavelkind, &c., - and hence the inhabitants of the part of Kent lying between - Rochester and London, being "invicti," have ever since been - designated as "Men of Kent," while those to the eastward, through - whose district the Conqueror marched unopposed, are only "Kentish - Men." This is hardly a satisfactory account; but we give it as we - had it. - - We suspect the _real_ origin of the terms to have been, a mode of - distinguishing any man whose family had been long settled in the - county (from time immemorial, it may be), from new settlers; the - former being genuine "Men of Kent," the latter only "Kentish." The - monosyllabic name of the county probably led to this play upon the - word, which could not have been achieved in the "shires."] - -_Bee-Park._--This term is used in Cornish title-deeds.

Immediately previous to the ordination of a -minister of the church of Scotland, the Moderator--that is, the member -of Presbytery who presides upon the occasion--calls upon him to answer -certain questions, acknowledging the Scriptures to be the word of God, -the doctrines of the Confession of Faith to be the truth of God; -disowning certain doctrinal errors; declaring his belief that the -Presbyterian government and discipline of this church are founded on the -word of God, and agreeable thereto; expressing the views with which he -enters the ministry, and his resolution faithfully to discharge its -duties. Having answered these questions satisfactorily, he is set aside -to the work of the ministry by prayer and imposition of the hands of the -Presbytery (the local Ecclesiastical Court). - -At the conclusion of the service he is called on to sign what is called -the Formula, an abstract of the first portion of the questions put to -him. It is as follows:-- - - "I, A. B., do hereby declare, that I do sincerely own and believe - the whole doctrine contained in the Confession of Faith, approven - by the General Assemblies of this national church, and ratified by - law in the year 1690, and frequently confirmed by divers acts of - parliament since that time, to be the truths of God; and I do own - the same as the confession of my faith: as likewise, I do own the - purity of worship presently authorised and practised in this - church, and also the Presbyterian government and discipline now so - happily established therein; which doctrine, worship, and church - government, I am persuaded, are founded upon the word of God, and - agreeable thereto: and I promise that, through the grace of God, I - shall firmly and constantly adhere to the same; and to the utmost - of my power, shall, in my station, assert, maintain, and defend - the said doctrine, worship, discipline, and government of this - church by Kirk Sessions, Presbyteries, Provincial Synods, and - General Assemblies; and that I shall in my practice conform myself - to the said worship, and submit to the said discipline and - government, and never endeavour directly or indirectly the - prejudice or subversion of the same: and I promise that I shall - follow no divisive course from the present establishment in this - church: renouncing all doctrines, tenets, and opinions whatsoever, - contrary to or inconsistent with the said doctrine, worship, - discipline, or government of this church. - - "Signed, A. B." - -No oath is taken, and no obligation come under but the above. In the -Confession of Faith, under the head Church, the supremacy of the Pope is -denied; but neither in that, the Questions, or the Formula, is there any -other reference to any other form of church government. - - H. - - -THE OLD COUNTESS OF DESMOND. - -(Vol. v., p. 145.) - -As there has been, from time to time, much written in your very -interesting publication on the subject of the "Old Countess of Desmond," -it may, perhaps, not be unacceptable that I should give you a -description of an old family picture in my possession, said to be of -that person, to which allusion has been made by some of your -correspondents, especially by A. B. R., in your paper of Saturday, 14th -February. The painting in question has been for a great number of years -in the possession of my family, and from my earliest childhood I have -heard it designated as that of the old "Countess of Desmond," although -there is no mention of her name thereon. My father for a long time -thought it was a work of Rembrandt; but on a close examination there was -discovered the name of "G. Douw," low at the left-hand side; and since -the picture has been cleaned, the signature has become more distinct. It -is painted on board of dark-coloured oak, of eleven inches by eight and -a half. The portrait, which reaches to below the bust, and represents a -person sitting, is eight and a half inches in length; the face about -two and three quarter inches. It is admitted by the best judges to be a -painting of great merit. It represents, as well as it is possible, -extreme old age, with an extraordinary degree of still remaining vigour, -and in this respect certainly fits exactly the character of its subject. -The dress is correctly described by your correspondent A. B. R. The -forehead is not very high, but square and intellectual--deeply wrinkled; -the nose is rather long, and very well formed; the eyes dark; the mouth -compressed, and denoting quiet firmness; the expression altogether -pleasing and placid, and the face one that must have been handsome in -youth. Should any of your correspondents wish to see this picture, I -shall leave it for a short time in the hands of my bookseller, Mr. -Newman, 3. Bruton Street, Bond Street, who has kindly consented to take -charge of it, and to show it to those who feel an interest in such -matters. - -It must, at first sight, appear strange that such men as G. Douw, the -painter of the picture in question, or Rembrandt to whom are attributed -other portraits of this old lady, should have condescended to copy from -other artists, (for the respective dates render it quite impossible they -could have painted from life in this instance): however, it is natural -to suppose that this extraordinary instance of longevity made great -noise at the time of, and for some time after, her death, and that a -correct representation of such a physical phenomenon, although the work -of an inferior artist, may well have afforded a fitting study for even -such eminent painters as Rembrandt and G. Douw. - -As I am on this subject, I shall further trouble you with a circumstance -in connexion therewith, which has recently come to my knowledge. My -friend, Mr. Herbert, M.P., of Muckross Abbey, Killarney, has also an old -family picture of the same lady, with a very curious inscription, which, -while it would appear to go far towards establishing several of her -characteristic attributes, has also its peculiar difficulties, which I -shall presently point out, in the hope that some of your correspondents -who are learned in such matters may explain them. The inscription, which -is on the canvass itself, is as follows: - - "Catharine, Countesse of Desmonde, as she appeared at ye court of - our Sovraigne Lord King James, in thys preasant A.D. 1614, and in - ye 140th yeare of her age. Thither she came from Bristol to seek - relief, ye house of Desmonde having been ruined by Attainder. She - was married in ye Reigne of King Edward IV., and in ye course of - her long Pilgrimage renewed her teeth twice: her Principal - residence is at Inchiquin, in Munster, whither she undoubtedlye - proposeth (her Purpose accomplished) incontinentlie to return. - LAUS DEO." - -Now, as to the authenticity of this picture, there can, I should think, -be no question. It has not been _got up_ for the present antiquarian -controversy; for it is known to have been in existence in the family of -Mr. Herbert for a great many years. It could not well be a mystification -of the intervening "middle age," for in that case it would doubtless -have been brought forward at _the time_, to establish a particular -theory as to this lady. I think, therefore, it is only reasonable to -suppose that it was painted at the time it professes. It may also be -mentioned, in corroboration, that a connoisseur who examined this -picture for Mr. Herbert attributed it to the hand of Jamieson, the -Scotch painter, who lived at a time that would render it quite possible -for him to have painted it from life. So far so good. The main -difficulty is that of the dates given in the inscription. If the -Countess was 140 in 1614, and therefore born in 1474, she could have -been but eight or nine years old at the death of Edward IV., and -therefore could not have been married in his reign. It is difficult to -account for this discrepancy, except by supposing that the old lady sank -ten years of her age (and there are statements in existence of 1464 -being the year of her birth); or else by supposing that the story of her -marriage in the reign of Edward IV. was not her own, but communicated, -at second-hand and erroneously, to the artist. - -On this point I hope some of your more learned correspondents will -favour us with their opinion. There has also been recently sent me by a -friend an extract from the "Birch Collection," British Museum (Add. MSS. -4161.), being transcripts of a _Table Book of Robert Sidney, second Earl -of Leicester_, which contradicts the inscription in some particulars: -but Lord Leicester writes in a loose and apparently not very authentic -style. He states, on the authority of a "Mr. Harnet," that the Countess -of Desmond came to petition "the Queen" (Elizabeth), and not King James; -and quotes Sir W. Raleigh (on memory) as saying that he (Sir W. R.) saw -her in England in 1589. He also talks of her death as occurring at the -end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and as being caused by a fall from -a "nutt-tree." I do not think, indeed, that much weight should attach to -these notes of Lord Leicester; but it is fair to give all that comes to -light, whether it makes against or for the authenticity of what one -wishes to establish. - - P. FITZGERALD, KNIGHT OF KERRY. - - Union Club, London. - - -SHAKSPEARE'S SICKLE OR SHEKEL. - -(_Value of Solidus Gallicus?_) - -(Vol. v., p. 277.) - -I undertake to answer C. W. B.'s Query with the greater readiness, -because it affords me an opportunity of upholding that which has ever -been the leading object in every amendment of Shakspeare's text -advocated by me, viz., the unravelling and explaining, rather than the -alteration, of the original. Perhaps it is with a similar aim that C. W. -B. wishes to investigate the value of "siclus;" if so, he must pardon me -if I forestall him. - -I see no difficulty in the passage which he asks to have construed; its -meaning is this: - - "The sacred sickle (or shekel) was equivalent to an Attic - tetradrachma, which Budæus estimated at 14 Gallic solidi, or - thereabouts; for the didrachma was seven solidi, since the single - drachma made three and a half solidi, _less_ a denier Tournois." - -Which is as much as to say, that the sickle equalled fourteen solidi, -less four deniers; or 13-2/3 solidi. - -But owing to the rapid declension in the value of French coin after the -tenth century, it is manifestly impossible to assign a value to these -solidi unless the precise date of their coinage were known. A writer -may, of course, allude to coin indefinitely precedent to his own time. -In the present case, however, we may, as a matter of curiosity, -_analytically_ approximate to a result in this way:-- - -The drachma is now known to have contained about 65 grains of pure -silver, consequently the tetradrachma contained 260 grains. The present -franc contains about 70 grains of pure silver, and consequently the sol, -or 20th part, is 3-1/2 grains. - -This last, multiplied by 13-2/3, produces about 48 grains. But the -weight of the tetradrachma is 260 grains; therefore the sol with which -the comparison was made must have contained upwards of fivefold its -present value in pure silver. - -Now, according to the depreciation tables of M. Dennis, this condition -obtained in 1483, under Charles VIII., at which time Budæus was actually -living, having been born in 1467; but from other circumstances I am -induced to believe that the solidus gallicus mentioned by him was coined -by Louis XII. in 1498, at which time the quantity of pure silver was -fourfold and a half that of the present day. - -So much in answer to C. W. B.'s Query; now for its relation to -Shakspeare's text, with which however the "siclus" in question has -nothing in common except the name; since the "sickles," so beautifully -alluded to by Isabella, in _Measure for Measure_ (Act II. Sc. 2.), were -_sicli aurei_, "of the tested gold." - -But I have designedly used the word _sickle_ as the English -representative of the Latin _siclus_ (Gallicè _cicle_), because it is -the original word of Shakspeare, which was subsequently, most -unwarrantably and unwisely, altered by the commentators to _shekels_ in -conformity with the Hebraicised word of our scriptural translation.[2] -Hence it is that "sickles" has come to be looked upon as _a corruption -of the text_; and "shekels" as a very clever _conjectural emendation_! - -We retain _sickle_, Anglicè for _sicula_, a scythe; but we refuse it to -Shakspeare for a word almost identical in sound--_siculus_, or siclus! - -The real corruption has been that of Shakspeare's commentators, not his -printers'; and I hope that some future editor of his plays will have the -courage to permit him to spell this, and other proper names, in his own -way. For how can his text continue to be an example of his language, if -his words may be altered to suit the _précieuse_ fashion of subsequent -times? - - A. E.

The -metrical as well as prose romances on the subject of Alexander also -contain it; and those who wish for more information will find it in the -third volume of Weber's _Metrical Romances_, p. 331. - -I cannot say that I am quite convinced of the truth of the ingenious -supposition of your correspondent, that "Sending to Dulcarnein is merely -an ellipsis of the person for his place, _i.e._ for the rampart of -Dulcarnein." It appears to me more probable, that as, according to St. -Jerome and other writers of the Middle Ages, the _Dilemma_ was also -called Syllogismum _Cornutum_, its Arabic name was _Dhu 'lkarnein_; and -we know how much in science and literature the darker ages were indebted -to the Arabian writers. Wyttenbach, in his _Logic_, says "_Dilemma_ -etiam _Cornutus_ est; quod _utrimque_ veluti _Cornibus_ pugnat." At any -rate it is clear that the enclosure had another name: - - "En Ynde si naist uns grans mons - Qui est une grans regions - C'on apiele _Mont Capien_. - Illuec a unes gens sans bien, - Qu' Alixandres dedens enclost, - Et sont la gent _Got_ et _Magot_." - - _Extrait de l'Image du Monde, par Le Roux de Lincy, Livre des - Légendes_, p. 208. - -It does not appear to me that _to be at Dalcarnon_ is equivalent to -being _sent to Coventry_, or to Jericho, as your correspondent A. N. -supposes; or that the word _flemyng_, in this passage, means -_banishing_, but rather _defeating_, _daunting_, _dismaying_, in which -sense it occurs more than once in Layamon; thus, vol. ii. p. 410.:-- - - "Thine feond _flæmen_ - & driven hem of londen." - -The general sense of the word is, however, _to expel_, _to drive out_, -and not _to enclose_, as Alexander is said to have done the Gog and -Magog people, by his iron, or rather bituminous, wall. Now those who -were at Dulcarnon, or _in a Dilemma_, might well be said to be defeated -or dismayed. - -Let us hope that some oriental scholar among your correspondents may be -able to indicate where the word is to be found in some Arabian expositor -of logic or dialectic, &c., and thus set the question entirely at rest. - -Are we never to have an edition of Chaucer worthy of him, and creditable -to us? Had our northern neighbours possessed such a treasure, every MS. -in existence would have been examined and collated, and the text -settled. His language would have been thoroughly investigated and -explained[3], and every possible source of elucidation made available. -May we not hope that the able editor of Layamon and Wickliffe will yet -add to the obligation every lover of our early literature owes to him, -an edition of our first great poet, such as his previous labours have -shown that he is so well qualified to give? - - [Footnote 3: This is evident from the interest the Germans have - manifested, _e.g._ the younger Gesenius, in his able essay, _De - Lingua Chauceri Commentationem Grammaticam_; and Edward Fiedler's - _Translation of the Canterbury Tales_.] - - S. W. SINGER. - - -ENGLISH SURNAMES. - -(Vol. v., p. 290.) - -I have, as most of the readers of "N. & Q." are aware, for a -considerable time past turned my attention to the subject of _English -Surnames_, and the sale of three editions of my work under that title -shows that such a book was a desideratum. Chapters on the origin of -surnames exist in Camden's _Remaines_, Verstegan's _Restitution_, and -elsewhere, and there are detached notices in the _Gentleman's Magazine_ -and other periodicals; but my work is the first, and as yet the _only_ -independent treatise on the subject. Any one who will be at the trouble -to compare my first and third editions will at once see how this inquiry -has grown under my hands; but although I have collected and classified -6000 names, much still remains to be accomplished. Under this -conviction, I am now engaged in the compilation of a _Dictionary of -English Family Names_, which I hope to complete within the present year. -My plan will include: - -I. The name. - -II. The class to which it belongs. The classes will be about twenty in -number. - -III. The etymology of each name when necessary. - -IV. Definitions and remarks. - -V. Illustrative quotations from old English authors. - -VI. The century in which the name first occurs. - -VII. The corruptions and most remarkable variations which the name has -undergone. - -VIII. Proverbs associated with family names, _e.g._:-- - - "All the _Tracys_ - Have the wind in their faces," - -in allusion to the judgment of heaven which is said to have befallen the -posterity of Wm. de Traci, one of the assassins of Thos. à Becket. - -IX. Anecdotes and traditions. - -My object in making this statement, is to solicit from the numerous and -learned correspondents of "N. & Q." contributions of surnames and -suggestions in furtherance of my undertaking; and from the Editor, -permission to query from time to time upon the origin, date, and history -of such surnames as I am unable satisfactorily to elucidate without -assistance. A field so large requires the co-operation of many -labourers. I have already secured the friendly aid of some of the most -competent antiquaries in England; and I confidently anticipate for the -forthcoming collection a degree of success proportioned to the amount of -labour and research bestowed upon it. - -Of _local_ surnames few will be introduced; for, as nearly every landed -property has given a name to the family of its early proprietor, it -would be impossible to include all the names so derived. Only the more -remarkable ones of this class, which would appear at first sight to come -from a totally different source, will be admitted. Blennerhasset, -Polkinghom, Woodhead, Wisdom, Bodycoat, and Crawl, for example, are -names of places, and surnames have been derived from them, although few -except the persons resident in the particular localities are aware that -any such places exist. Most of the names that baffle all historical and -etymological acumen are probably of this class. - -I wish it to be understood that my dictionary will only include family, -that is, _hereditary_ surnames. Merely personal sobriquets which died -with their first possessors (and which are found in large numbers in -ancient records) will be passed by, unless they should illustrate some -appellative which has descended to our times. - -In conclusion, this work is by no means intended to supersede my -_English Surnames_, which contains much matter unsuited to dictionary -arrangement, and is intended to convey information on a neglected -subject in a popular form. The illustrations in the _Dictionary_ will -for the most part be new, with references to the _English Surnames_ for -others. - -The foregoing announcement was intended to be sent to "N. & Q." some -weeks since. I am now induced to forward it without further delay, -because I see the subject of surnames introduced in to-day's number by -two different correspondents. COWGILL, the first of these, could, if so -disposed, render me efficient help. As to the remarks of J. H. on the -works of "Lower and others" (_what others?_), they clearly show that he -has never read what he so summarily condemns, or he would not now have -to ask for the supposed number of surnames in England, which is given in -my third edition, vol. i., preface, p. xiii. Though I am, perhaps, more -fully aware than any other person of the defects and demerits of my -_English Surnames_, I think the literary public will hardly deny me the -credit of "_some_ study and research," praise which has been awarded me -by better critics than J. H. It is not my practice to notice the -censures of anonymous writers, but I cannot forbear adverting to two -points in J. H.'s short communication. In the first place his desire for -a work giving _all_ the names used in England, and "showing when they -were first adopted or brought into this country," shows his entire want -of acquaintance with the existing state of the nomenclature of English -families. A glance at a few pages of so common a book as the _London -Directory_, will convince any competent observer that there are hundreds -upon hundreds of surnames that would baffle the most imaginative -etymologist. Secondly, J. H. proposes that an author treating on the -subject of family names, should begin "with the Britons." Does he really -suppose that the Celtic possessors of our island bore family names -according to the modern practice? If so, "Lower and (many) others" can -assure him that his antiquarian and historical knowledge must be of a -somewhat limited kind. - - MARK ANTONY LOWER. - - Lewes. - - -REV. JOHN PAGET. - -(Vol. iv., p. 133.; Vol. v., pp. 66. 280.) - -Since the Notes, kindly transmitted from Holland in answer to my Query -respecting the family of the Rev. John Paget, appeared in "N. & Q.," I -have discovered that the Pagets to whom my Query related, as well as the -others alluded to by your correspondents, were all of the family of -Paget of Rothley, Leicestershire, of whom a (partially incomplete) -pedigree is given in Nichols's _Leicestershire_, vol. iv. p. 481. I was -led to this conclusion by finding that Robert Paget (the writer of a -preface before alluded to "from Dort, 1641") mentions in his will -Roadley (Rothley) in Leicestershire as his birthplace, and speaks of his -brother George as residing in his "patrimoniall house" there: he is -probably the Robert, son of Michael Paget, and great-grandson of the -Rev. Harold Paget, vicar of Rothley in 1564, who is mentioned in the -pedigree as born at Rothley in 1611: he died at Dordt in 1684. The -pedigree gives him an uncle named Thomas, born in 1589 (two indeed of -that name, and both born the same year!); this will do very well for the -Rev. Thomas Paget, incumbent of Blackley, and rector of Stockport; and -another named John, who died, aged seven, in 1582: still I cannot help -believing that John Paget, the writer, was this Robert's uncle, and feel -mightily disposed to metamorphose one of the two Thomases into John. The -Rev. Thomas Paget died in October, 1660, leaving his property to his two -sons, Nathan M.D., and Thomas a clergyman. What relation was he to that -Mr. Paget to whom Dee, the astrologer (see his _Diary_, p. 55. Camden -Society, 1842), sold a house in Manchester in 1595? His son, Dr. Nathan, -in a _Thesis on the Plague_, printed at Leyden in 1639, describes -himself on the title-page as Mancestr-Anglus. According to Mr. Paget's -will, dated May 23, 1660, he was then minister at Stockport, Cheshire; -and I am inclined to think him identical with Thomas Paget, rector of -St. Chads, Shrewsbury, from 1646 to 1659, although Owen and Blakeway -(_History of Shrewsbury_, 2 vols. 4to. 1825) consider the latter to be -son of John (James?) Paget, Baron of the Exchequer, temp. Car. I.: this -descent is, I am confident, erroneous. Thomas Paget appears to have gone -to Amsterdam in 1639 on the death of the Rev. John Paget, and to have -returned to England in 1646, in which year his son John (who must have -been much younger than his two other sons, and is, moreover, not -mentioned in his will dated 1660) was baptized at Shrewsbury. Dr. Nathan -Paget was an intimate friend of Milton, and cousin to the poet's fourth -wife, Elizabeth Minshull, of whose family descent (which appears to be -rather obscure) I may, at another time, communicate some particulars. - -Whilst the subject of the Pagets (a very interesting one to me), I -cannot refrain from noticing, even at the risk of encroaching on your -space, a singular mistake of Anthony à Wood respecting another writer -(though of an entirely different family) of the name of Paget. Speaking -of the Rev. Ephraim Paget (_Athen. Oxon._, vol. ii. p. 51.) he says: - - "One of both his names (his uncle I think) translated into English - _Sermons upon Ruth_, Lond. 1586, in oct., written originally by - Lod. Lavater; but whether the said Ephraim Paget was educated at - Oxon, I cannot justly say, though two or more of his sirname and - time occur in our registers." - -Had Anthony ever _seen_ the book in question, he would have been aware -that the title-page informs him that it was translated by Ephraim -Pagitt, a child of eleven years of age; and as, according to the said -Anthony's account, Ephraim was born in 1575, he would also at once have -seen that Ephraim himself--not that ideal personage, his "uncle of the -same name"--was the translator. - - CRANMORE. - - -LETTER TO A BRIGADIER-GENERAL. - -(Vol. v., p 296.) - -Your correspondent W. C. begins his letter modestly. "If," he says, -Thomas Lord Lyttleton wrote _The Letters of Junius_, and "if" Junius -wrote the "Letter to the Brigadier-General," then he sees a difficulty. -Why, of course he does: but as nobody but the writer in the _Quarterly_ -believes that the said Thomas did write the _Letters of Junius_, and as -it has never been proved that Junius did write the "Letter to a -Brigadier," I must believe that something remains to be done before we -proceed a step farther either in the way of argument or inference. -Unless some such resolution be come to by inquirers, we shall never get -out of the mazes in which this question has been involved, by like -conditional statements, and the conditional arguments founded thereon. - -As to the Lyttleton story, I shall dismiss it at once: it is not -entitled to the sort of respectability which attaches to a case put -hypothetically, nor to the honour of an "if;" and I must remind your -correspondent that in a Junius question "general belief" is no evidence. -Every story, however absurd, once asserted, is "generally believed," -until some one (a rare and exceptional case) proves that it is not -true--probably that it could not be true. The general belief, for -example, that the "Letter to a Brigadier" was written by Junius, is not, -so far as I know, supported by a tittle of evidence. It is all assertion -and assumption, founded on the opinion of A., B., and C., as to "style," -&c. Now, as some two dozen different persons have been proved, by like -confident opinions, on like evidence, to be the writer of _Junius's -Letters_, I may be excused when I acknowledge that the test is not with -me quite conclusive. In respect, however, to this "Letter to a -Brigadier," Mr. Britton and Sir David Brewster have proceeded somewhat -further. Having, with others, come to the conclusion that Junius was the -writer, Mr. Britton proceeds to show that Barré served in Canada under -Wolfe, and was the very man, from circumstances, position, and feelings, -who could, would, and did write that letter. Sir David endeavours to -show that Macleane was in like circumstance, stimulated by like -feelings, and was the veritable Simon; founding his argument mainly on -the belief that Macleane was also serving there as surgeon of Otway's -regiment. It has been shown in the _Athenæum_ that Macleane never was -surgeon of Otway's regiment, and that in all probability he never was in -Canada: in brief, that the memoir is a mistake from beginning to end. As -all, however, that is urged by Sir David in favour of Macleane, as one -who had served under Wolfe, may be thought to strengthen, to that -extent, the claim of Barré, who certainly did so serve, and was severely -wounded, let us look at the facts. - -Barré was wounded at the capture of Quebec; and, under date of Oct. -1759, Knox, in his _Historical Journal_, says, "Colonel Carlton and -Major Barré retired to the southward for the recovery of their wounds." -From his letter to Mr. Pitt (_Chath. Corr._), we find that Barré was at -New York, April 28, 1760. He appears subsequently to have joined Amherst -before Montreal; and on the capture of Montreal, on Sept. 8, 1760, he -was appointed to convey the despatches to England, and arrived in London -on the 5th October. These are facts public and unquestioned--admitted by -Mr. Britton. - -Now for a fact out of the "Letter to a Brigadier." I could give you half -a dozen of like character, but space is precious, and one, I think, will -be sufficient. The writer quotes _in extenso_ a letter written by -Townshend, published in _The Daily Advertiser_, and dated "South Audley -Square, 20th June, 1760." Mr. Britton admits that the pamphlet must have -been published "some time before the 5th October, as on that day a -Refutation appeared;" it was, in fact, reviewed, or rather abused, in -the _Critical Review_ for September. We have proof, therefore, that the -"Letter to a Brigadier" was written after 20th June, and founded, in -part, on facts known _in London_ only on the 21st of June at the -earliest: the probabilities are that it was published in August or -September, certainly before the 5th October. How then could it have been -written by a man in America, serving before Montreal? - - L. B. G. - - -MAPS OF AFRICA. - -(Vol. v., p. 261.) - -I do not know why, because a man publishes maps of Africa at Gotha, they -should not be "fancy portraits," any more than why a man's book should -be a good one, because it is printed on a composition which nobody but a -German would have the effrontery to call paper. - -I had seen Spruner's Map a few weeks after it came out, and the -conclusion I came to about it at the time was, that it was certainly a -fancy portrait. I shall be glad to be shown that I am in error; and, as -I am more sure of the fact that I did come to this conclusion after some -examination, than I am of the argument whereby I arrived at it--for my -memory is singularly gifted in this way--I should be obliged by E. C. -H., or any of your correspondents, informing me what grounds there are -for believing Spruner, or any one else, to have produced a map or maps -of the north coast of Africa between long. 5° west, and 25° east of -Greenwich, or any portion of the said coast,--said map or maps being the -result of actual survey. Moreover, if I further inquire when any survey -whatever took place of this coast at any time, and profess my utter -ignorance of the history of our present _North_ African maps, and my -great doubts of their credibility, let not your correspondents imagine -that this is one of a _few_ things that I ought to be acquainted with, -and really know nothing whatever about. - - AJAX. - - -Replies to Minor Queries. - -_James Wilson, M.D._ (Vol. v., p. 276.).--To the numerous list of men -whose services to literature our English biographers have injudiciously -omitted to record may be added James Wilson, M.D. As editor of the -_Mathematical tracts_ of Mr. Benjamin Robins in 1761, he has often been -noticed with commendation. Beyond that circumstance, all is obscurity. - -He wrote, however, a valuable _Dissertation on the rise and progress of -the modern art of navigation_, which was first published by Mr. John -Robertson in his _Elements of navigation_ in 1764, and republished by -him in 1772. The authors shall now speak for themselves:-- - - "This edition [of the _Elements of navigation_] is also enriched - with the history of the art of navigation; for with the author's - leave, I have published the following dissertation on that - subject, written by Dr. Wilson, believing it would afford the most - ample satisfaction on that subject."--John ROBERTSON, 1764. - - "My enquiries into these matters [navigation] induced the late - learned Dr. James Wilson to review and complete his observations - on the subject, and produced his _Dissertation_ on the history of - the art of navigation, which he was pleased to give me leave to - publish with the second edition of this work.... The second - edition of these _Elements_ having also been well received by the - public, Dr. Wilson took the pains to revise his _Dissertation_, - which he improved in many particulars."--John ROBERTSON, Nov. 1, - 1772. - - "This _Dissertation_, written at first by desire, is now reprinted - with alterations. Though I may be thought to have dwelt too long - on some particulars, not directly relating to the subject; yet I - hope that what is so delivered, will not be altogether - unentertaining to the candid reader. As to any apology for having - handled a matter quite foreign to my way of life, I shall only - plead, that very young, living in a sea-port town, I was eager to - be acquainted with an art that could enable the mariner to arrive - across the wide and pathless ocean at his desired harbour." - - London. James WILSON, 1771? - -The united libraries of Henry Pemberton, M.D., F.R.S., and James Wilson, -M.D., were sold in 1772.

B. -Depping. Paris, 1830. 8vo. 2 vols. This subject was proposed in 1826, as -a prize essay, by the Académie royale des inscriptions et -belles-lettres, and M. Depping was the successful competitor. The prize, -a gold medal of the value of 1500 francs, was awarded in 1828. M. le -baron Silvestre de Sacy, whose profound acquaintance with oriental -history and literature enabled him to detect some slight errors in the -work, thus concludes his review of it in the _Journal des savants_: -"Mais ces légères critiques ne m'empêchent pas de rendre toute justice à -un travail véritablement estimable, et digne de l'honneur qu'il a obtenu -de l'Académie des belles-lettres." - - BOLTON CORNEY. - -_Ecclesiastical Geography_ (Vol. v., p. 276.).--There is a work on this -subject by I. E. T. Wiltsch, _Handbuch der Kirchlichen Geographie and -Statistik_, Berlin, 1846, 2 vols. 8vo., which, in so far as I have -looked at it, appears to be carefully done. - - J. C. R. - -_Butts Family_ (Vol. iv., p. 501.).--I read yesterday an article signed -COWGILL, asking information concerning the family of Butts, anciently of -Thornage, Norfolk. Sir William Butts, physician to Henry VIII., and Dr. -Robert Butts, my great-grandfather, formerly Bishop of Norwich, were of -that family, and if your correspondent will communicate privately with -me, I shall be happy to receive from him, and communicate to him, any -particulars of a public character concerning a family of which I am -nearly the only representative. My address is "Rev. Edward Drury Butts, -Camesworth, Bridport." - - E. D.

If my recollection be -accurate, the novelist speaks of it as an event of which he had personal -knowledge, and does not quote any earlier authority. - - K. E. - -It is a most curious circumstance connected with the superstition -sailors have regarding putting to sea on a Friday, which will now have -greater weight attached to it than ever, that I can inform your -correspondent, W. FRASER, that the ill-fated Amazon, Captain Symons, did -really sail on a Friday, as he suggested she might have done. - -The day was January 2, 1852, by Lloyd's Lists, which is the day of the -month the West India mail always leaves this country. - - J.

The inscription within the -lid is curious, and is copied by Wilde. - - E. D. - -_English Translation of the Canons_ (Vol. v., p. 246.).--M. tells us -that in the second clause of the 36th canon of 1603, the words _quodque -eodem taliter uti liceat_ are translated "and that the same may be -lawfully used," the word _taliter_ being altogether omitted in the -English. What authority is there for this statement? In all the copies -of the English Canons that I have examined, the translation is exact, -viz., "and that it may lawfully _so_ be used;" and that the form now -presented for subscription at ordination agrees with this, may be -inferred from the fact that the words are so printed in Mr. Hodgson's -_Instructions for the Clergy_ (6th edition, p. 8.). - -It would seem that M. has confounded with the Canons of 1603 an older -form, which was prescribed by Archbishop Whitgift in 1584 (Cardwell, -_Docum. Annals_, i. 414.). The words of that form agree with your -correspondent's quotation; and it has also a bearing on his assumption -that the 36th canon was originally presented for subscription in Latin, -and that the English version has been wrongfully substituted. Not only -is there (as I believe) no proof of this assumption; but we have the -fact that a set of _English_ articles, substantially the same with those -of the 36th canon of 1603 (or rather 1604), was subscribed for twenty -years before the body of the canons existed. - - J. C. R. - -_Few Descents through a long Period._--The pedigree of the noble family -of Dartmouth, given by Edmondson in his _Baronagium Genealogicum_, No. -197., contains an extraordinary instance of few descents through a long -period of time. - -The stock of descent is Thomas Legge, Sheriff of London in 1343, and -Lord Mayor in 1346. He had a son, Simon, whose son, Thomas, had issue, -William, who had issue an only son, Edward. This Edward had thirteen -children, one of whom, John, is stated to have died in 1702, aged 109. -Supposing Thomas Legge to have been 46 years old at his Mayoralty -(_i.e._ born in 1300) these six lives would extend over more than 400 -years. This is so extraordinary that I append a Query. Is Edmondson's -_Genealogy_ correct, or are there any intermediate descents omitted? - -The ages at death of four only of Edward's children are given, and they, -too, are remarkable: the before-mentioned John, aged 109 years; -Elizabeth (unmarried), 105 years; Margaret (married ---- Fitzgerald, -Esq.), 105 years; and Anne (married ---- Anthony, Esq.), 112 years. Can -any of your correspondents inform me the years when any of these died, -or where they are buried? to enable me to verify these facts by -certificates. - - C. H. B. - - 30.

BREEN. - - St. Lucia. - -_Bigot_ (Vol. v., p. 277.).--I beg to direct attention to the subjoined -extract from Mr. Trench's _Lectures on the Study of Words_, a most able -and interesting little work: - - "'Bigot' is another word widely spread over Europe, of which I am - inclined to think that we should look for the derivation where it - is not generally sought, and here too we must turn to Spain for - the explanation. It has much perplexed inquirers, and two - explanations of it are current; one of which traces it up to the - early Normans, while they yet retained their northern tongue, and - to their often adjuration by the name of God, with sometimes - reference to a famous scene in French history, in which Rollo, - Duke of Normandy, played a conspicuous part; the other puts it in - connexion with 'Beguines,' often called in Latin 'Beguttæ,' a name - by which certain communities of pietest women were known in the - Middle Ages. Yet I cannot but think it probable, that rather than - to either of these sources, we owe the word to that mighty - impression which the Spaniards began to make upon all Europe in - the fifteenth century, and made for a long time after. Now the - word 'bigote' means in Spanish 'mustachio;' and, as contrasted - with the smooth or nearly smooth upper lip of most other people, - at that time the Spaniards were the 'men of the mustachio.' That - it was their characteristic feature comes out in Shakspeare's - _Love's Labour's Lost_, where Armado, the 'fantastical Spaniard,' - describes the king, 'his familiar, as sometimes being pleased to - lean on his poor shoulder, and dally with his mustachio.' [Act V. - Sc. 1.] That they themselves connected firmness and resolution - with the mustachio, that it was esteemed the outward symbol of - these, is plain from such phrases as 'hombre de bigote,' a man of - resolution; 'tener bigotes,' to stand firm. But that in which they - eminently displayed their firmness and resolution in those days, - was their adherence to whatever the Roman See required and taught. - What then more natural, or more entirely according to the law of - the generation of names, than that this striking and - distinguishing outward feature of the Spaniard should have been - laid hold of to express that character and condition which - eminently were his, and then transferred to all others who shared - the same? The mustachio is, in like manner, in France a symbol of - military courage; and thus 'un vieux moustache,' is an old soldier - of courage and military bearing. And strengthening this view, the - earliest use of the word which Richardson gives, is a passage from - Bishop Hall, where 'bigot' is used to signify a pervert to - Romanism: 'he was turned both _bigot_ and physician.' In further - proof that the Spaniard was in those times the standing - representative of the bigot and the persecutor, we need but turn - to the older editions of Fox's _Book of Martyrs_, where the Pagan - persecutors of the early Christians are usually arrayed in the - armour of Spanish soldiers, and sometimes graced with tremendous - 'bigotes.'" - - 2nd edit. 80-82. - -Mr. Trench's derivation of _bigot_ is, I think, very preferable to those -you cite. - - C. H. COOPER. - -_Davies Queries_ (Vol. iv., p. 256.).--LLAW GYFFES asks for a correct -description of the monument erected to Sir John Davys, Davis, or Davies, -in St. Martin's church.

RIMBAULT. - -_Fawsley, Heraldic Atchievement_ (Vol. v., p. 297.).--See Baker's -_Northamptonshire_, vol. i. p. 385-6., where the shield of the knightly -quarterings is noticed in describing the Manor house. - - r. - -_Old Scots March_ (Vol. v., pp. 104. 235.).--Your correspondent E. N., -after quoting a passage from Mr. Tytler's _Dissertation on Scottish -Music_, says he has "never yet been able to meet with any of the _ports_ -here referred to." I have the pleasure to inform him that several -curious ancient _ports_ have been preserved, and may be found in the -_Skene MS._, and in _Gordon of Straloch's Lute Book_. - -_Port_, in Gaelic, signifies an air, either sung or played upon an -instrument. Mr. Tytler correctly describes this species of composition -as of the plaintive strain, and _modulated for the harp_. All the -existing specimens answer to this character. - -The _Ports_ which are contained in the above-named MSS., are named as -follows: "Rory Dall's Port," "Port Ballangowne," "Jean Lindsay's Port," -&c. - -It may be necessary to say, that these tunes are written in an obsolete -notation called _tablature_. Translations, however, are in my -possession, and if E. N. wishes for copies, he is quite welcome to have -them if he will favour me with a communication. - - EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. - - 29. St. Mark's Crescent, Regent's Park. - -_Periwinkle_ (Vol. i., p. 77.).--The following note, from Withering's -_Arrangement of British Plants_, vol. ii. p. 341. ed. 1830, will perhaps -be acceptable to MELANION:-- - - "VINCA. PERIWINKLE. (From _vincio_, to bind; its runners trailing - round other plants. Or to those who prefer a more interesting - association, we would intimate that of such was formed in ancient - times the bridal zone, which none but the bridegroom was - privileged to untie. In modern Italy it is said to be appropriated - to a far different usage, that of enwreathing deceased infants; - and is hence called _Fior di Morto_.--E.)" - - W. R. DEERE SALMON. - -_Erasmus' Paraphrase_ (Vol. i., p. 172.).--If it be allowable to answer -one's own Query, and not too late to go back to Vol. i., I should like -to notice that the fragment therein referred to corresponds, as far as -it goes, with an edition "Empriented in Flete Strete the last daie of -Januarie, Anno Domini, 1548," by Edward Whitchurch, and is no doubt part -of that edition. In the Churchwardens' Accounts for this parish it is -thus mentioned: - - "1589. It[=m], pd. to Mr Vicar w'ch he layde downe - for ye Englyshe Paraphrase of Erasmus ijs. - - "It[=m], chaynes for two bookes xijd. - - "It[=m], spent at chayninge ye same ijd." - - J. EASTWOOD. - - Ecclesfield Hall. - -"_Black Gowns and Red Coats_" (Vol. v., p. 297.).--I am not aware that -it was ever any secret, or, at any rate, that there is any occasion to -make it so now, that the satire _Black Gowns and Red Coats_ was the -production of George Cox, M.A., and Fellow of New College, Oxford; -neither did I ever hear of its suppression. The satire is certainly -somewhat severe; but even those who fell under its lash could scarcely -deny its great ability, or the high poetical talent which it evinced. -Such as knew the marvellous promise of his youth can never cease to -lament that it pleased God to bring the author's life to a premature and -unhappy close. - -I have a copy of the little book, which I would gladly _lend_ to any one -making a proper application through the publisher. - - C. W. B. - -_Arms of Manchester_ (Vol. v., p. 59.).--The arms of Manchester (gules 3 -hindlets enhanced or) are those attributed to the family of Grelle, De -Greslet, or Grelly, feudal Barons of Manchester under the Normans. The -town has used them for years; long before the charter of incorporation. - - P. P. - -_Sir Thomas Frowyk_ (Vol. v., p. 295.).--Thomas Frowyk was, in all -likelihood, of a family long connected with the government of London. -According to Fuller, he was born at Ealing in Middlesex, and was son of -Thomas Frowyk, Esq. [if I do not greatly err he was knighted in or -before the reign of Richard III.] of Gunnersbury, by the daughter and -heiress of Sir John Sturgeon, knight. He was "bred in the study of our -municipal law," and read on the statute Prerogative Regis (17 Edw. II. -stat. 1.), but in what inn of court, or in what year, I have not seen -stated. He was (with others) made serjeant-at-law, by writ tested 10th -September, 1496. The feast was kept on the 16th of November following, -at Ely House in Holborn, "where dined the King, Queen, and all the chief -lords of England." He was afterwards one of the King's serjeants. On the -11th July, 1502, he (with Mr. Justice Fisher and Humphrey Conyngsbye, -one of the King's serjeants) made an award between the University and -town of Cambridge adjusting disputes between the two bodies, and -defining in minute detail their respective jurisdictions. On the 30th -September, 1502, he was constituted Lord Chief Justice of the Common -Pleas, and was, at or about the same time, knighted. In 19 Hen. VIII. he -was, by Act of Parliament, appointed one of the feoffees to the use of -the King's will. He died 17th October, 1505, being, as it is said, under -forty years old. He was buried, with Joan his wife, in the church of -Finchley. He left a large estate to his two daughters, of whom Elah, the -eldest, was married to Sir John Spelman, Justice of the King's Bench, -"grandfather to Sir Henry, that renowned knight." Sir Thomas Frowyk's -arms (azure a cheveron between 3 leopards' faces or) were in a window of -the hall of Serjeants' Inn, Fleet Street; and the same coat (quartering -Sturgeon and another) was in a window at St. Dunstan's in the West. -(Fuller's _Worthies in Middlesex_; Dugdale's _Origines Juridiciales_, -47. 128. 328.; _Chronica Series_, 74. 76.; _Bibliotheca Legum Angliæ_, -ii. 192.; _Excerpta Historica_, 119. 121. 123.; _Plumpton -Correspondence_, 152, 153. 161. 165.; Cooper's _Annals of Cambridge_, -258. 260.; _Rotuli Parliamentorum_, vi. 522.; _Collectanea Topographica -et Genealogica_, iv. 107.) - - C. H. COOPER. - - Cambridge. - -_John Goldesborough_ (Vol. v., p. 294.).--John Goldesborough, or -Goldesburgh, was born 18th October, 1568, studied at Oxford, and went -thence to the Middle Temple, where he was called to the Bar. In or about -1613 he was constituted Second Prothonotary of the Common Pleas, which -office he held till his death, 9th October, 1618. He was buried in the -Temple Church, where there is, or was, a monumental brass to his memory, -having thereon his and his wife's effigies, with an inscription in -English. His Reports were printed several years after his death. (Wood's -_Athenæ Oxonienses_, i. 293. 369.; Dugdale's _Origines Juridiciales_, -63. 178.; _Bibliotheca Legum Angliæ_, i. 236. 242., ii. 213.; _Reports -of Deputy Keeper of Public Records, Second Report, Appendix_, ii. p. -73.; _Fourth Report, Appendix_, ii. p. 37.) - - C. H. COOPER. - - Cambridge. - -_Corrupted Names of Places_ (Vol. v., p. 285.).--I beg to offer a few -additions to mispronounced names of places: - - Rampisham Dorset Ransom - Beaminster Do. Bemmister - Portisham Do. Possum - Portishead Somerset Posset. - -In Sussex the names of places ending in _ly_ are pronounced with the -accent on the last syllable; _e.g._ West Hoath_ly_, Helling_ly_, &c. In -Gloucestershire, a place written Newland is unexpectedly called Newlànd. - - C. W. B. - -My memory enables me to make the following small additions to the list -of "Popular Dialects" requested by your correspondent P. M. M. The names -of the towns are derived exclusively from my native county, Essex: - - Spelling. Pronunciation. - Bradwell Bradell - Brentwood Burnt'ood - Brightlingsea Bricklesea - Chelmsford Chensford - Coggeshall Cockshall - Colchester Cou'chester - Davenham Dagnum - Kelvedon Kelldon - Margaretting Margretten - Mersy Island Masy Island - Mount Nissing Money's End - Toulleshunt Darcy Toussent Darcy. - - M. W. B. - -_Story of Ginevra_ (Vol. v., pp. 129. 209.).--Bramshall, Hants (of which -there are some views in Nash's _Mansions_), claims to be connected with -a Ginevra tradition, so that Rogers seems to be justified in stating -that "many" old houses in this country do so. - - P. P. - -_Ornamental Hermits_ (Vol. v., pp. 123. 207.).--FLORENCE must be in -error as to the locality of one of her hermits. There is no place called -Marcham in Lancashire, nor any resident family of Powyss. The late Lord -Lilford certainly married a Lancashire heiress in 1797, and became -possessed of property near Warrington. Whether he had a hermit, I cannot -say but I never heard of a hermit in the Preston neighbourhood. - - P. P. - -_Dr. Fell_ (Vol. v., p. 296.).--Mr. Tom Sheridan, the only child of -Richard Brinsley Sheridan by his wife (Miss Elizabeth Linley), is author -of the lines on Dr. Fell. They were written on the celebrated Dr. Parr, -under whose tuition he was. Why he gave to Dr. Parr the nomen "Dr. -Fell," I do not know. I have often heard my dear mother repeat the -lines: - - "I do not like thee, Dr. Fell, - The reason why I cannot tell, - But this I know full well, - I do not like thee, Dr. Fell." - -The metre of the third line would be more perfect by the addition of the -dissyllable; but the lines I have so often heard want this. - -My mother was very intimate with the Sheridan family, and many years -agone she informed me that Miss Jane Linley (afterwards Mrs. Ward) told -her that young Tom Sheridan composed the foregoing lines on Dr. Parr. - - E. F. - -_List of Prothonotaries_ (Vol. v., p. 294.).--Lists of the -prothonotaries of the Court of Common Pleas, from Henry VIII. to George -IV., may be collected from the _Reports of the Deputy Keeper of Public -Records, Second Report, Appendix_, ii. 67-88.; _Fourth Report, -Appendix_, ii. 30-52. - - C. H. COOPER. - - Cambridge. - -_The Vellum-bound Junius_ (Vol. iii., p. 262.; Vol. v., p. 303.).--Since -I wrote to you I have seen my informant, and am now enabled to state, -that what your correspondent calls "the vellum-bound Junius," at Stowe, -was, as I said, printed on vellum, but _was not bound in vellum_. - - - V. B. J. - -_Plague Stones_ (Vol. v., p. 308.).--The three following places, where -these stones of exchange were erected, have just occurred to me, and I -forward them to add to the desired list:-- - -At Derby the stone was known by the name of the Headless Cross; and it -has within the last few years been removed for preservation to the -Arboretum in that town. - -A stone of a similar name existed at Shrewsbury. - -At East Retford, in Nottinghamshire, was also one, called the Broad -Stone. - - L. JEWITT. - -_George Trehern_ (Vol. v., p. 295.).--George Trehern, or Treheryon, was -Autumn Reader of Lincoln's Inn, 12 Hen. VIII.; Lent Reader there 16 Hen. -VIII.; and one of the Governors of that society 12 & 17 Hen. VIII. His -reading on Carta Forestæ appears to have been printed in 4to., but in -what year is not stated. (Dugdale's _Origines Juridiciales_, 251. 259.; -_Bibliotheca Legum Angliæ_, i. 24., ii. 191.) - - C. H. COOPER. - - Cambridge. - -_St. Christopher_ (Vol. v., p. 265.).--I know not whether Mr. Drake's -explanation (referred to by E. A. H. L.) be the same as that given in -_Sacred and Legendary Art_, but the latter seems sufficiently -satisfactory. - - "It was believed that in consequence of his prayer, those who - beheld the figure of St. Christopher were exempt during that day - from all perils of earthquake, fire, and flood. The mere sight of - his image, that type of strength, was deemed sufficient to inspire - with courage those who had to struggle with the evils and - casualties of life, and to reinvigorate those who were exhausted - by the labours of husbandry.... Hence it became a custom to place - his image in conspicuous places, to paint it of colossal size on - the walls of churches and houses, where it is sometimes seen - occupying the whole height of the building, and is visible from a - great distance, being considered as a good omen for all those who - look upon it. A mountain in Granada, which is first seen by ships - arriving from the African coast, is called San Cristobal, in - allusion to this poetical superstition."--_S. and L. Art_, p. 262. - - J. EASTWOOD. - -_White Livers_ (Vol. v., p. 127.).--The superstition, that a man or -woman who survives several wives or husbands has a white liver, is -common among the lower orders in Lancashire. - - P. P. - -_Torshel's Design to harmonise the Bible_ (Vol. v., p. 199.).--This rare -and valuable tract is reprinted in _The Phenix_, 1707, vol. i. pp. -96-113. - - JOHN I. DREDGE. - - - - -Miscellaneous. - - -NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. - -The success which has attended the endeavour to supply, by means of the -London Library in St. James's Square, the want so long felt by scholars -and reading men, of a library of circulation of works of a higher class -than those to be met with in ordinary subscription libraries, has just -been rendered evident by the publication of the second volume of its -_Catalogue_. - -From this it appears that there are now in this admirable -collection--for it is an admirable one--fifteen thousand distinct works -(upwards, we believe, of forty-five thousand volumes), comprising the -best and most expensive works in every department of learning, which -scholars and men of learning may have the use of in their own studies -for the small subscription of two pounds a year. There is little wonder -that the plan has succeeded, for it has been well carried out,--thanks -to the zeal of the Managing Committee, and to the care and attention of -Mr. Cochrane, its able and most efficient Librarian. - -_The History of the Restoration of Monarchy in France_, by Alphonse de -Lamartine. Volume the Second.--The brilliant and eloquent narrative -contained in this volume includes the period between Napoleon's -departure from Fontainebleau and his abdication. In the course of this -history we are presented with scene after scene which dazzle us with all -the gorgeous colouring of a panorama; but which, when we come to look -into their details, are found to be almost as obscure and indefinite as -the objects in those attractive works of art to which we have likened -them. The work has all the charms of a romance; but we fear purchases -this reputation by sacrificing the more sober requirements of a history. - -_Lectures and Addresses in Aid of Popular Education_, by the Right Hon. -the Earl of Carlisle.--It would be difficult to find a more faithful or -a more gratifying type of the present age than this new part of _The -Traveller's Library_, in which we see one of England's "belted earls," -and one of the most amiable and accomplished men of his time, recording -the experiences of his travels; and inviting to join him in the delights -which he has gathered from literary pursuits,--not a crowd of titled -listeners, but "a band of the hard-handed working men" fresh from the -anvil and the loom. - -_Were Heretics ever burned at Rome? A Report of the Proceedings of the -Roman Inquisition against Fulgentio Manfredi, taken from the Original -Manuscript brought from Italy by a French Officer, and edited, with a -parallel English Version, and Notes_, by the Rev. Richard Gibbings, -M.A.--The _Dublin Review_ for June 1850 having boldly asserted as a -fact, that "the Roman Inquisition--that is to say, the tribunal which -was immediately subject to the control and direction of the Popes -themselves, in their own city, has never been known to order the -execution of capital punishment"--the Rev.

J. Sanford has authorised me to place the following letter in -your hands, in order that you may print it in "N. & Q." should it appear -to be of sufficient interest. - - BRAYBROOKE. - -"I send you an account of the very memorable scene which occurred at -Madame Bonaparte's drawing-room on the 13th of March, 1803. I believe I -am the only living witness, as those who were near the person of Lord -Whitworth were members of the corps diplomatique, Cobenzel, Marcoff, -Lucchesini, all dead. Many years after I became intimately acquainted -with the Marchese Lucchesini at Florence, when I had an opportunity of -referring to that remarkable conversation. - -"It was announced that Madame Bonaparte was to receive on the following -Sunday, and it was reported that she was to have maids of honour for the -first time; a little curiosity was excited on this score. The apartment -of Madame B. was on the opposite side of the Tuilleries in which -Bonaparte held his levees. I was acquainted with Lord Whitworth, who -told me to place myself near to him, in order to afford facility for -presentation, as Madame B. would occupy an arm-chair to which he -pointed, and on each side of which were two tabourets. As all foreigners -had been presented to General B. at his levee, his presence was not -expected. The rooms, two in number, were not very large; the ladies were -seated round the rooms in arm-chairs: a passage was left, I suppose, for -Madame B. to pass without obstacle. When the door of the adjoining room -was opened, instead of Madame B. the First Consul entered; and as Lord -Whitworth was the first ambassador he encountered, he addressed him by -enquiring about the Duchess of Dorset's health, she being absent from a -cold. He then observed that we had had fifteen years' war; Lord W. -smiled very courteously, and said it was fifteen years too much. We -shall probably, replied General B., have fifteen years more: and if so, -England will have to answer for it to all Europe, and to God and man. He -then enquired where the armaments in Holland were going on, for he knew -of none. Then for a moment he quitted Lord W. and passed all the -ladies' addressing Mrs. Greathead only, though the Duchess of Gordon and -her daughter, Lady Georgina, were present. After speaking to several -officers in the centre of the room, which was crowded, he returned to -Lord W. and asked why Malta was not given up. Lord W. then looked more -serious, and said he had no doubt that Malta would be given up when the -other articles of the treaty were complied with. General B. then left -the room, and Madame B. immediately entered. As soon as the drawing-room -was over, I observed to Lord W. that it was the first cabinet council I -had ever witnessed; he laughingly answered, by far the most numerously -attended. Lord W. then addressed the American Minister, who was very -deaf, and repeated what had passed, and I perceived that he was very -much offended at what had occurred. In justice to the First Consul, I -must say that the impropriety consisted in the unfitness of the place -for such a subject; the tone of his voice was not raised, as was said at -the time. He spoke in the same tone as when he enquired for the Duchess -of Dorset." - - -NOTES ON PRYNNE'S BREVIATE, BY ARCHBISHOP LAUD. - -I have two Queries to propose; but before I can do so effectually, it is -necessary to enter into an explanation and statement of facts, which may -be considered as Notes conveying information which will, I anticipate, -prove new and interesting to many readers of "N. & Q." - -On the 2nd of September, 1644, Archbishop Laud, then a man of more than -threescore years and ten, but still with intellect vigorous, active, and -unimpaired by age or trouble, appeared at the bar of the House of Lords, -to recapitulate in one address the various points of his defence, which -had been made at intervals during the six months previous, as the trial -had gone on, from time to time, since the 12th of the preceding March. -On coming to the bar, he was for the moment staggered by seeing, in the -hands of each of his judges, a blue book, containing, as he had just -learnt, great part of his own most secret memoranda and most private -thoughts, extracted by the bitterest of his opponents out of his Diary -and MS. book of devotions. This was Prynne's _Breviate of the Life of -William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury; extracted (for the most part)_ -verbatim _out of his own Diary, and other writings, under his own hand_. - - "So soon as I came to the bar," (this is his own account,) "I saw - every Lord present with a new thin book in folio, in a blue coat. - I heard that morning that Mr. Pryn had printed my Diary, and - published it to the world, to disgrace me. Some notes of his own - are made upon it. The first and the last are two desperate - untruths, beside some others. This was the book then in the Lords' - hands, and I assure myself, that time picked for it, that the - sight of it might damp me, and disinable me to speak. I confess I - was a little troubled at it. But after I had gathered up myself, - and looked up to God, I went on to the business of the day, and - thus I spake."--_History of Troubles and Trial_, c. xlii. pp. 411, - 412. - -In his defence he turned this circumstance, and the use previously made -of his Diary and Devotions during the course of his trial, very happily -to account. After speaking of the means which had been used to frame the -charges against him, how he had been "sifted to the very bran," he says: - - "My very pockets searched; and my Diary, nay, my very Prayer Book - taken from me, and after used against me; and that, in some cases, - not to prove, but to make a charge. Yet I am thus far glad, even - for this sad accident. For by my Diary your Lordships have seen - the passages of my life; and by my Prayer Book, the greatest - secrets between God and my soul: so that you may be sure you have - me at the very bottom. Yet, blessed be God, no disloyalty is found - in the one; no Popery in the other."--_Ibid._ c. xliii. p. 413. - -The recapitulation over, the Archbishop was remanded to the Tower, and -prosecuted the work on which he had been long engaged, _The History of -his Troubles and Tryal_: intending, when that was finished, to publish a -reply to this _Breviate_. His words are: - - "For this _Breviate_ of his, if God lend me life and strength to - end this (the History) first, I shall discover to the world the - base and malitious slanders with which it is fraught."--_Ibid._ c. - xx. p. 254. - -His life was not spared to do more than carry on that History to the day -preceding the passing of the bill of attainder by the Lords, three -months after the publication of the _Breviate_. Thus it ends: - - "And thus far had I proceeded in this sad history by Jan. 3, - 1644-45. The rest shall follow as it comes to my - knowledge."--_Ibid._ c. xlvi. p. 443. - -Wharton adds this note: - - "Next day the Archbishop, receiving the news that the bill of - attainder had passed the House of Lords, broke off his history, - and prepared himself for death." - -He was beheaded the 10th day of the same month, January 1645. - -The information I have to communicate, after this long preface, is, that -a copy of this book of Prynne's, with marginal notes by the Archbishop, -made apparently in preparation for the answer which he contemplated, is -still extant; and I shall be thankful to any of your readers who can -give any further information on the subject. - -In this copy the notes are only a transcript from those made by the -Archbishop; and partly, perhaps, owing to the narrow margin of Prynne's -book, we have to regret that they are not more copious; but, such they -are, they are of value, as throwing new light on some points of history; -and they appear not to have been known to any of the biographers of -Laud, or to those who, as Archbishop Sancroft and Wharton, sought most -carefully after his literary remains. - -The volume of which I speak is the property of an Institution at -Warrington, "The Warrington Museum and Library," to which it was -presented by Mr. Crosfield, of Fir Grove, Latchford, at the time of the -library being established, in 1848, having been bought by his father at -a book-stall in Manchester some years previously. - -A transcript of the notes is now before me; which the Committee of the -Museum have, with great liberality, allowed to be made for the edition -of the Archbishop's works now publishing in _The Anglo-Catholic -Library_. The readiness which they have shown to impart the benefit of -their collection, and the kindness with which the Hon. Secretary, Mr. -Marsh, has given a full and accurate account of the MS. information, and -himself transcribed the notes, deserve the most public acknowledgment. - -That the notes in this volume are not written by the Archbishop is -proved decisively, not only by the handwriting, but by the following -note on Prynne's translation of the _Diary_, at p. 9. last line,--"I, -whiles others were absent, held the cup to him," on which the following -is the note:-- - - "In yt Breviate in which ye Archbp. has made [his notes], 'tis - printed city, and in this place he has [written] 'In my diary 'tis - calicem. Note that....'" - -Owing to the edge of the paper being worn, some parts of the note are -lost; they have been conjecturally filled up by the words in brackets. - -On the title-page is written, in a hand cotemporary with the transcript: - - "Memorand. Mr. Prynn presented this worke of his to the Lds. Sep. - 2nd, 1644, ye same day that ye poor Archbp. was to make his - recapitulation, divers Lords holding it in their hands all the - while, &c." - -And beneath this, apparently in the same hand, is written: - - "This I suppose was written by Mr. Dell, secretary to Archbp." - -It is inferred that this memorandum had been made by Mr. Dell on the -Archbishop's copy, and transcribed together with the notes. - -Now the Queries I have to make are these three: - -1. Whether any copies of Prynne's _Breviate_ are extant, having, in the -last line of the ninth page cited above, the misprint _city_ for -_cup_?[1] - -2. Whether any information can be given which may lead to the discovery -of the copy containing the original notes of the Archbishop, of which -the Warrington copy is a transcript? - -3. Whether any allusion to the fact of the Archbishop having made such -notes is made by any cotemporary writer? Antony Wood, Wharton, and -Heylin do not mention it. - -In respect to the second Query, I presume to ask every one who has -access to a copy of Prynne's _Breviate_ to look into it, and see whether -it contains MS. marginal notes. I do so, because in so many cases copies -of works stand in their places in libraries unopened, and with contents -unknown; the knowledge of their special value having perhaps been -possessed by some curious collector or librarian, but not being noted -down, having died with him: and the owner of the volume, should it be -found, will receive his reward in the consciousness of possessing a -treasure, such as it is, which before he knew not of--some of the last -writing of a great man, imprisoned and anticipating death, who was -engaged in vindicating himself from misrepresentation and calumnies, -part of which had adhered to his memory till these notes came to light. - -For the identification of that volume, should it be found, and for the -information of your readers, I will transcribe the first paragraph of -the _Breviate_, with the Archbishop's _marginalia_: - - "Hee was borne at _Redding_ in _Barkshire_, _October 7, 1573_, of - poore (a) and obscure (b) parents, in a cottage (c), just over - against the (d) Cage: which Cage since his comming to the - Archbishoprick of _Canterbury_, upon complaint of Master - _Elveston_ (that it was a dishonour the Cage should be suffered to - stand so neare the house, where so great a royall Favourite and - Prelate had his birth) was removed to some other place; and the - cottage (e) pulled downe, and new-built by the Bishop." - - (a) "All this, if true, is no fault of mine." - - (b) "My father had born all offices in ye town save ye mayoralty." - - (c) "The howsing wh'ch my father dwelt in is rented at this day - at thirty-three pounds a year." - - (d) "The Cage stood two streets off from my father's house all his - life time, and divers years after, as many yet living know. By - whom it was remov'd into yt street, and why out again, I know - not." - - (e) "No one stick of ye cottage was pulled down by me." - -The passage which concludes the notes on p. 35. is unfortunately maimed -by the wearing away of the edges of the leaves; it is as follows:-- - - ... "And as I hope for comfort in my Saviour this is true ... - uncharitable conclusion, my life is in ye hands of God ... - blessed be His name. But let not Mr. Pryn call for Blood...." - -It should be added that the volume has been formerly in the hands of -some one who took an interest in the Archbishop's history, as a few -notes in a handwriting of the last century are inserted on slips in -various parts of the volume, chiefly passages from the _Diary_ -"maliciously omitted by Prynne." - -The writer of this notice has not the means of identifying the hand by -which these more recent notes, or the transcript of those of the -Archbishop, were written; but will take this occasion of suggesting what -has often appeared to him a great desideratum in literature--that is, a -collection of fac-similes of the autographs of distinguished people, -whether literary or public characters; not merely their signatures, -which are found in existing collections of autography, but passages -sufficiently long to aid in identifying their ordinary writing, and, if -possible, taken from writing made at different periods of their lives. -With the improvements of mechanical skill which we enjoy, such works -might be afforded at a much cheaper rate than formerly, and would, it is -conceived, command a remunerating sale. - -It remains only to add, that information on the points about which -inquiry is made may be communicated through the medium of the "N. & Q.," -or by letter to the Rev. James Bliss, Ogborne St. Andrew, near -Marlborough, who is engaged in editing the works of Archbishop Laud; and -who would be glad to receive any information with respect to unpublished -letters or papers of the Archbishop. - - C. R. O. - - [Footnote 1: [It is clear there have been two editions of Prynne's - _Breviate_, both printed in the year 1644. The copy in the King's - Library, at the British Museum, contains the misprinted word - _city_, but is corrected in the Errata, at the bottom of p. 35.; - whereas the copy in the Grenville Library has it correctly printed - _cup_, and the list of Errata is omitted.--ED.]] - - -EPITAPH ON VOLTAIRE. - -I send you two versions of the epitaph on Voltaire given in Vol. iv., p. -73., not for their intrinsic merit, but as illustrations of a curious -physiological trait, as to the nature and power, or powerlessness, of -memory: - - "Plus bel esprit que grand genie, - Sans loi, sans moeurs, et sans vertu, - Il est mort, comme il a vecu, - Couvert de gloire et d'infamie." - -Version No. 1.: - - "With far less intellect than wit, - Lawless, immoral, and debased; - His life and death each other fit, - At once applauded and disgraced." - -Version No. 2.: - - "Much more a wit, than man of mind; - Alike to law, truth, morals blind! - Consistent as he lived he died, - His age's scandal, and its pride." - -These are not offered as competing in excellence, for they are both the -productions of the same mind, but for the purpose of recording the -following remarkable fact respecting their composition. No. 2. was -written down immediately on reading your Number in July last (1851); -having composed it, I took from my library shelf Lord Brougham's _Life -of Voltaire_, in which I knew the lines were, for the purpose of -pencilling in my rendering of them. You may conceive my surprise at -finding already there the version No. 1. with the date 1848, which I had -made in that year, but of which I had so totally lost all remembrance, -that not a single turn of thought or expression in one resembles the -other. I perfectly remember the mental process of hammering out No. 2., -and can confidently affirm that, during the time, no recollection -whatever of No. 1., or anything about it, ever crossed my thought. I -fear such a total obliteration is a token of failure in a faculty once -powerful and accurate, but, perhaps, unduly tasked; yet I offer it to be -recorded as a singular fact connected with this wonderful function of -mind. - - A.

One ballad, parts of which, as well as the -tune, still haunt my memory, I have tried to recover in its integrity -but in vain; and of all the little wearers of frocks and pinafores, who -had the privilege of occasionally assembling round the dear old lady's -tea-table, and for whose amusement she was wont to sing it, I fear I am -the sole survivor. The associations connected with this song may perhaps -have invested it with an undue degree of interest to me, but I think it -sufficiently curious to desire to insert as much as I can remember of it -in "N. & Q." in the hope that some of your correspondents may be able to -supply the deficiencies. I wish I could at the same time convey an idea -of the air. It began in a slow quaint strain, with these words:-- - - "Oh! was it eke a pheasant cock, - Or eke a pheasant hen, - Or was it the bodye of a faire ladye - Come swimming down the stream? - Oh! it was not a pheasant cock, - Nor eke a pheasant hen, - But it was the bodye of a faire ladye, - Came swimming down the stream." - -For the next two verses I am at fault, but their purport was that the -body "stopped hard by a miller's mill," and that this "miller chanced to -come by," and took it out of the water "to make a melodye." - -My venerable friend's tune here became a more lively one, and the time -quicker; but I can only recollect a few of the couplets, and those not -correctly, nor in order of sequence, in which the transformation of the -lady into a viol is described: - - "And what did he do with her fair bodye? - Fal the lal the lal laral lody. - He made it a case for his melodye, - Fal, &c. - And what did he do with her legs so strong? - Fal, &c. - He made them a stand for his violon, - Fal, &c. - And what did he do with her hair so fine? - Fal, &c. - He made of it strings for his violine, - Fal, &c. - And what did he do with her arms so long? - Fal, &c. - He made them bows for his violon, - Fal, &c. - And what did he do with her nose so thin? - Fal, &c. - He made it a bridge for his violin, - Fal, &c. - And what did he do with her eyes so bright? - Fal, &c. - He made them spectacles to put to his sight, - Fal, &c. - And what did he do with her petty toes? - Fal, &c. - He made them a nosegay to put to his nose, - Fal, &c." - - G. A. C. - - -Minor Notes. - -_Doctor Johnson a Prophet._--Can any of your readers inform me where the -following anecdote is recorded? It bears the mark of authenticity, and -if so adds, to the extraordinary gifts of the great moralist, that of -prophecy; be it observed, however, that the prognostication is founded -on a deduction of science. As the Doctor was one evening leaning out of -the window of his house in Bolt Court, Fleet Street, he observed the -parish lamplighter nimbly ascend a ladder for the purpose of lighting -one of the old glimmering oil lamps which only served to make "darkness -visible." The man had scarcely descended the ladder half way, when he -discovered that the flame had expired; quickly returning he lifted the -cover partially, and thrusting the end of his torch beneath it, the -flame was instantly communicated to the wick by the thick vapour which -issued from it. - -"Ah!" exclaimed the Doctor, after a pause, and giving utterance to his -thoughts, "Ah! one of these days the streets of London will be lighted -by smoke!" It is needless to add that in the succeeding century the -prediction was verified. - - M. W. B. - -_Coleridge and Plato._--Without becoming "a piddler in minute -plagiarisms" (as Gifford called Warton), I think the following -coincidence worth noting. S. T. Coleridge, in his "Lines on an Autumnal -Evening," has these lines: - - "On seraph wing I'd float a dream by night, - To soothe my love with shadows of delight; - Or soar aloft to be the spangled skies. - And gaze upon her with a thousand eyes." - -Plato had written ("To Stella," in _Anthol. Palat._): - - [Greek: Asteras eisathreis Aster emos; eithe genoimen - Ouranos hos myriois ommasin eis se blepo.] - -I cannot withhold Shelley's exquisite version: - - "Fair star of life and love, my soul's delight! - Why lookest thou on the crystalline skies? - O that my spirit were yon heaven of night, - Which gazes on thee with its thousand eyes!" - -_Revolt of Islam_, c. ix. st. 36. - -Dr. Wellesley's _Anthologia Polyglotta_ contains several versions of -Plato's lines. There is also one by Swynfen Jervis, in Lewis's -_Biographical History of Philosophy_, s. v. Plato. - - C. P. PH***. - -_Epitaph in St. Giles' Church, Norwich._-- - - "ELIZABETHA BEDINGFIELD, - Sorori Francisce Sve - S. R. Q. P. - - "My name speaks what I was, and am, and have, - A Bedding field, a piece of earth, a grave, - Where I expect, untill my soule shall bring - Unto the field an everlasting spring; - For rayse and rayse out of the earth and slime, - God did the first, and will the second time. - Obiit Die 10 Maii 1637." - -The above epitaph is curious; but what is the meaning of the letters "S. -R. Q. P.?" - - NEDLAM. - -_Hair in Seals._--Stillingfleet, referring to a MS. author, who wrote a -chronicle of St. Augustine's, says: - - "He observes one particular custom of the Normans, _that they were - wont to put some of the hair of their heads or beards into the wax - of their seals_: I suppose rather to be kept as monuments than as - adding any strength or weight to their charters. So he observes, - _that some of the hair of William, Earl of Warren, was in his time - kept in the Priory of Lewis_."--_Orig. Brit._, chap. I., _Works_, - Lond. 1710, tom. iii. p. 13. - - J. SANSOM. - -_To_ "_eliminate_."--The meaning of this word, according both to its -etymology and its usage in the Latin authors, is quite clear; it is to -"turn out of doors." Figuratively, it has been used by mathematicians to -denote the process by which all incidental matters are gradually thrown -out of an equation to be solved, &c., so that only its essential -conditions at last remain. Of late, however, I have observed it used not -of the _act_ of elimination, but of the _result_; a sense quite foreign -to its true meaning, and producing great ambiguity. Thus, in a recent -Discourse, the object of biblical exegesis is declared to be "the -_elimination_ of the statements of the Bible respecting doctrine;" the -author evidently meaning, not what his words imply,--to get rid of the -statements of the Bible,--though that has been sometimes the problem of -exegesis, but to present the doctrinal result in a clear form, and -detached from everything else. - - A PRECISIAN. - - - - -Queries. - - -ALGERNON SYDNEY. - -In no way, perhaps, has "N. & Q." been so useful to the literary public -as in making itself the ready means of concentrating on any given point -the various readings of many persons; unless, indeed, it should be -considered more useful to have proved how courteous, how willing to -oblige--even at some personal sacrifices--men of reading are in this day -and generation. The information recently sent from so many quarters in -relation to General Wolfe is a good example of what may be done in other -cases; that about Sterne in Paris is another. The latter instance -suggests to me a way in which some of your correspondents, whose private -communications I have had to acknowledge in reference to other -inquiries, might do me a real service at no great inconvenience perhaps -to themselves. - -I am collecting materials for a volume on Algernon Sydney. A great part -of this illustrious patriot's life was spent abroad; in many parts of -the continent, France, Holland, Denmark, Italy, Germany, &c. This part -of his history has been so far veiled in considerable obscurity, and -incidents of it misrepresented. Some better knowledge of it than we now -possess, must be, I think, recoverable. A man of Sydney's birth, active -temperament, and distinguished abilities, must have been spoken of in -many letters and memoirs of that time. No doubt anecdotes and traits of -character may be found in cotemporary French, Italian, German, and -Scandinavian literature. - -But with a library so vast to examine, no single man could ever feel -sure that nothing was overlooked. Other explorers, working for -themselves, may have hit upon statements or anecdotes of the greatest -value to me.

St. John's Wood Terrace. - - -OLD IRISH TALES. - -A black-letter duodecimo, printed in London in 1584, under the anomalous -title of _Beware the Cat_, was advertised for sale in one of Thorpe's -Catalogues a few years back, at a price of seven guineas. The copy was -believed to be unique; it had been in the libraries of several book -collectors, and among others of Mr. Heber, who considered it the most -curious volume illustrative of the times, in all his vast collection. It -appears, by the short abstract of contents, that the book contains some -curious notices of Ireland and Irishmen; an "account" is given "of the -civil wars in Ireland, by Mackmorro, and all the rest of the wild Irish -lords." This hero was probably Art Kavanagh, "the Mac-Morrogh" (the -hereditary title of the chief of the Leinster septs) whose rebellions -were, on two occasions, the cause of Richard II.'s two great expeditions -to Ireland. Then follows the tale of "Fitz-Harris and the Prior of -Tintern Abbey." Fitz-Harris, or Fitz-Henry, was an Anglo-Irish baron, -who resided in the south of the county of Wexford, in the neighbourhood -of a convent, which having been founded by Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, -and supplied with monks from Tintern in Monmouthshire, was named after -the parent monastery. The Fitz-Harris's are said to have descended from -Meyler Fitz-Henry, the "indomitor totius gentis Hiberniae," but they -became, to quote Spenser's adage current of the Anglo-Irish of his day, - - "As Irish as O'Hanlan's breech;" - -they "matched with the Kavanaghs of Carlow, and held with them," and -thus became involved in the interminable feuds of the native tribes, -and, like them, they left their estates to their bastards. - -"The fashion of the Irish wars at that time" is there described, but -probably not more graphically than in Derrick's quaint doggrel verses. -"The Irish Churle's Tale" is next told; the churl was the husbandman, -the "Protectionist" of the day, who doubtless could tell many piteous -tales of oppression, rapine, and ravishment, whose only hope of -protection lay in acting as a sort of sponge to some "wild lord" (who -would guard him from being plundered by others, that he might himself -devour his substance), and whose "tenant-right" cry of that day was -"spend me, but defend me." - -The volume affirms that "the wild Irishmen were better than we in -reverencing their religion:" the verb is used in the preterimperfect -tense. "The old Irish diet was to dine at night;" this is even a -stranger assertion. Higden, in his _Polychronicon_, declares of the -Irish clergy, - - "They ben chaste, and sayen many prayers, and done great - abstinence a-day, and drinketh all night." - -That glorious _chanson a boire_, commencing - - "I cannot eat but little meat, - My stomach is not good; - But I do think that I can drink - With him that wears a hood!" - -must have been composed in Ireland. If the old black-letter book had -said that the Irish _got their dinner_ at night, it would have been -nearer the truth, for the larders of the Milesian chiefs in the -neighbourhood of the English pale were often supplied by the nocturnal -marauds of their cattle-lifters. However, I see that Stanihurst writes -that the Irish dined in winter _before_ day, and in summer about the -seventh hour. - -Can any of your readers say in whose possession this book is now?

It is frequently quoted by Dr. Ledwich in his _Antiquities -of Kilkenny and Irishtown_. Mr. Roth subsequently deceased in London, -and it is believed his books and other effects were sold there. - -Qy.

(ed. 1840), that Bishop Percy had in -his possession a copy of Speght's _Chaucer_, in which was a note by -Gabriel Harvey to the effect that some of Heywood's _Epigrams_ were -supposed to be "conceits and devices of pleasant Sir Thomas More." Is -the copy of Speght in existence, and where? If it contain many notes by -Harvey, they would probably prove to be worth recording. - - PHILO CHAUCER. - -_The Cholera and the Electrometer._--During the late visitation of -cholera, observations were made tending to establish a relation between -the state of the Electrometer and the quotidian fluctuations of the -disease. - -Where can any authentic account of these observations be found, and what -is the name of the observer? - - T.

A. C. - -_Daundelyon._--One of the earliest Queries kindly inserted in Vol. i., -p. 92., requesting information regarding the legend and tradition of the -tenor bell at Margate, being still unanswered, be pleased to append as a -note the following lines from a descriptive poem called _The Margate -Guide_, 1797, by the late Mr. Zechariah Cozens, an esteemed local -antiquary, now buried within its sound: - - "But on the north John Daundelyon lies, - Whose wondrous deeds our children yet surprise; - Still at his feet his faithful dog remains, - Who with his master equal notice claims; - For by their joint exertions legends tell, - They brought from far the ponderous tenor bell." - - "_Note._--Concerning this bell the inhabitants repeat this - traditionary rhyme: - - "John de Daundelyon with his great dog, - Brought over this bell upon a mill cog." - - Page 31. - - E.

One thing is -certainly very remarkable, and goes some way towards favouring this -notion, viz., in many of the quotations there are mistakes,--words are -inserted, or rather substituted for others, but without destroying the -sense. This I have frequently observed myself; but the observation -applies only, as far as I know, to the _poetical_ quotations;--may he -not have quoted the _poetry_ from memory, and, for the _prose_, had -recourse to the original? - - - L. G. - -_The Authorised Version._--You have allowed some discussion in your -pages on what I consider the certainly incorrect translation of Heb. -xiii. 4. in our authorised version. I do not think it at all desirable -to encourage a captious spirit of fault-finding towards that admirable -translation, but fair criticism is assuredly allowable. Can any of your -correspondents account for the rendering in Heb. x. 23. of [Greek: ten -homologian tes _elpidos_] by "the _pro_fession of our _faith_?" - -I have never seen any reply to a former Query of mine (Vol. ii., p. -217.) about the omission of the word "holy" in the article on the Church -in the Nicene Creed in all our Prayer-books. It is not omitted in the -original Greek and Latin. - - J. M. W. - -_Rector's Chancel._--Would you, or one of your correspondents, kindly -inform me how the following case has been settled; it is one which in -all probability has often arisen, but I have not yet been able to learn -anything about it that is satisfactory. - -In old times when a church became too small for the parish, the ordinary -custom was to build an additional part to it in such a way that the old -church, after the alteration, formed an aisle to the new part, which -henceforth because the nave. Until the Reformation the altar in the old -chancel would probably remain after the new chancel was built, and be -used as an inferior altar, while the new altar would be used for high -mass; under these circumstances the rector's right in the chancel would -probably remain untouched, and his obligation to keep it in repair -undisputed. But when, at the Reformation, all but high altars were taken -away, which chancel was accounted the rector's, the new, or the old, or -both? This question has just arisen in an adjoining county. - - H. C. K. - - ---- Rectory, Hereford. - -_Duchess of Lancaster._--Can any of your correspondents inform us -whether the Queen is really Duchess of Lancaster? The Lancastrians have -always rather prided themselves on that circumstance, but some wise -person has lately made the discovery that William III. never created -himself Duke of Lancaster, nor any of the Hanoverian dynasty, and that -consequently the title remains with the Stuarts, although the duchy -privileges belong to the Crown. Is this really the truth? - - A LANCASTRIAN. - -_Cheke's Clock._--Strype, in his _Life of Sir John Cheke_, mentions that -among other presents bestowed on him by the king, was his own clock, -which after his death came into the possession of Dr. Edwin Sandys, -Bishop of Worcester, who, about 1563, gave it as a new year's gift to -Cecil the Secretary. Can any of your readers give a description of this -clock, or what became of it after coming into Cecil's possession? - - C. B. T. - -_Ruthven Family._--In a pedigree by Vincent in the College of Arms, two -sons of Patrick Ruthven are to be found, the first called Cames de -Gowrie, the second Robert Ruthven; they were alive in 1660. Can any of -your correspondents tell me what became of them? - - S.

Lee's _Gloriana, or -the Court of Augustus Caesar_? - - "The ladies, too, neglecting every grace, - Mob'd up in night cloaths, came with lace to face, - The Towre upon the forehead all turn'd back, - And stuck with pins like th' Man i' th' Almanack." - -Has this any reference to the practice of "pricking for fortunes?" - - HENRY CAMPKIN. - -_Arkwright._--What is the origin of this name? It might have been the -family name of the patriarch Noah, but I suppose it hardly goes so far -back. - - M. - -_Burial, Law respecting._--Is there in existence any law rendering -burial in consecrated ground compulsory? Most people have a strong -desire to receive such interment; but some few might prefer to have -their mortal remains deposited in some loved spot, far away from other -graves,--in a scene where many happy hours had been passed. It would be -a very unusual thing; but supposing such a desire to exist, could its -execution be prevented? It is recorded that Manasseh, King of Judah, -"slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, -in the gardens of Uzza."--2 Kings xxi. 18. - - SAMPSON ANRAMENII. - -_Mr. Borrow's Muggletonians._--If this gentleman correctly states (in -his _Lavengro_) that a minister of the Antinomians, with whom he was -formerly acquainted, was otherwise called a Muggletonian, the -inconceivable fact of that wretched maniac of the seventeenth century -(whose portrait indicates the most hopeless fatuity) still having -believers, must be a fact. But I marvel how Antinomianism should arise -out of the teaching of an Unitarian, as Muggleton was. Can Mr. B. have -confounded Muggleton with Huntington? - - A.

RIMBAULT. - - -Minor Queries Answered. - -_Sir W. Stanley._--I find in one of the usual history books in use that -Sir William Stanley, who was beheaded for high treason, for saying "If -Perkin Wabbeck is son of Edward IV., I will supply him with five hundred -men," was executed in the third year of Henry VII. Now, in a memorandum -of the time in a _Horae B. Virg._ in my possession, it states: - - "Memorandum: Quod die lune xvio die Februarii anno Regis Henrici - Septimi Decimo Willius Stanley, Miles, Camerarius regis praedicti - receptus fuit apud Turrim London, et ductus usque scaffold et - ibidem fuit decapitatus. Johannes Warner et Nicholas Allwyn tunc - vic. London." - -Could you help me to the true account? - - JOHN C. JACKSON. - - Cross House, Ilminster, Somerset. - - [The memorandum in the _Horae_ agrees with the date given in - Fabyan's _Chronicle_, p. 685., edit. 1811, viz. February 16, 1495. - Fuller, in his _Worthies_, also states that Allwyn and Warner were - sheriffs of London in the tenth year of Henry VII.] - -_Mires--Somerlayes._--In the appointment of a pinder for the town of -Hunstanton, Norfolk, dated 1644, these two words occur: "No person shall -feed any _mires_ with any beast," &c. _Mire_ is clearly the same as -_meer_, i.e. the strip of unploughed ground bounding adjacent fields. -"None shall tye any of their cattle upon anothers _somerlayes_ without -leave of the owner," &c. I suppose _somerlaye_ to be the same as -_somerland_, explained by Halliwell to mean, land lying fallow during -summer. I find neither word in Forby's _Glossary_. - - C. W. G. - - [Grass laid down for summer pasture, is called in Kent, _lay - fields_; doubtless _somerlayes_ are such. Probably a corruption of - _lea_, the _lesura_ of Latin charters.] - -_Wyned._--In an old precedent (seventeenth century) of a lease of a -house, I find the words "divers parcels of _wyned_ waynescott windowes -and other implements of household." What is _wyned_? - - C. W. G. - - [A friend, who is extremely well versed in early records, and to - whom we referred this Query, observes, "I have never met with the - word, nor can I find a trace of it anywhere. I suspect that the - querist has misread his MS., and that, in the original, it is - _payned_, for _paned_. In the slovenly writing of that period many - a form of _pa_ might be mistaken for _w_. The upstroke of the _p_ - is often driven high. I have seen many a _pa_ like this - instance."] - -_Cromwell Family._--Two leaves, paged from 243 to 246, cuttings from an -old magazine, seemingly having dates down to 1772, entitled "Account of -the Male Descendants of Oliver Cromwell. By the Rev. Mr. Hewling Luson, -of Lowestoft, in Suffolk. In a Letter to Dr. Brooke." [Concluded from -our last, page 197.] The next article commencing, "On the Knowledge of -Mankind. From Lord Chesterfield's Letters to his Son," having lately -come into my hands, I shall feel greatly obliged by being informed -through "N. & Q.," or otherwise, where may I meet with the previous part -of such account of the Cromwell family, or the title and date of such -magazine? - - W. P. A. - - [Mr. Luson's letter to Dr. Brooke, referred to by our - correspondent, will be found in Hughes's _Letters_, edited by - Duncombe, vol. ii. Appendix, p. xxxii. edit. 1773.] - -_Beholden._--Is the word "beholden" a corruption of the Dutch -"gehouden," or is it a past participle from the verb "to behold?" If the -latter, how comes it from signifying "seen," to denote "indebted"? - - A. F. S. - - [If our correspondent had referred to Richardson's _Dictionary_, - his difficulty would have been removed on reading this derivation - and definition: - - "_Angl.-Saxon_, Be-healdan, Be-haldan, Healdan. _Dutch_, Behouden, - tenere, servare, observare. To keep or hold (_sc._ the eye fixed - upon any object), to look at it, to observe, to consider."] - -_Men of Kent and Kentish Men._--The natives of Kent are often spoken of -in these different terms. Will you be so good as to inform me what is -the difference between these most undoubtedly distinctive people? - - B. M. - - [A very old man, in our younger days, whose informant lived temp. - Jac. II., used to explain it thus:--When the Conqueror marched - from Dover towards London, he was stopped at Swansconope, by - Stigand, at the head of the "Men of Kent," with oak boughs "all on - their brawny shoulders," as emblems of peace, on condition of his - preserving inviolate the Saxon laws and customs of Kent; else they - were ready to fight unto the death for them. The Conqueror chose - the first alternative: hence we retain our Law of Gavelkind, &c., - and hence the inhabitants of the part of Kent lying between - Rochester and London, being "invicti," have ever since been - designated as "Men of Kent," while those to the eastward, through - whose district the Conqueror marched unopposed, are only "Kentish - Men." This is hardly a satisfactory account; but we give it as we - had it. - - We suspect the _real_ origin of the terms to have been, a mode of - distinguishing any man whose family had been long settled in the - county (from time immemorial, it may be), from new settlers; the - former being genuine "Men of Kent," the latter only "Kentish." The - monosyllabic name of the county probably led to this play upon the - word, which could not have been achieved in the "shires."] - -_Bee-Park._--This term is used in Cornish title-deeds. What species of -inclosure does it express? Do any such exist now? - - C. W. G. - - [We have never met with the word, and can only guess at random - that it is _quasi_ "the bee-croft," the enclosure where the bees - were kept; always remembering that formerly, when honey was an - article of large consumption, immense stores of these insects must - have been kept. In royal inventories we have "honey casks" - enumerated to an immense amount.] - -_A great Man who could not spell._--Of what great historical character -is it recorded, that though by no means deficient in education, he never -could succeed in spelling correctly? I have an impression of having read -this in some biography a few years since, and I think it was a great -military commander, who always committed this error in his despatches, -though a man of acknowledged high talents and well-informed mind, and -conscious of this defect, which he had endeavoured in vain to overcome. - - SAMPSON ANRAMENII. - - [Does our correspondent allude to the Duke of Marlborough, who was - avowedly "loose in his cacography" as Lord Duberly has it?] - -_Glass-making in England._--The appearance in your pages of several very -interesting Notes on the First Paper-mill in England leads me to beg -space for a few Queries on another subject of Art-History. - -1. _When_, _where_, and under what circumstances, was the first -manufactory for _glass_ established in England? - -2. What writer first notices the introduction or use of glass, in our -island? - -3. Are there any works of authority published devoted to this material? -If so, may I request some of your learned contributors to direct me to -them, or, in fact, to any good notice of its early history? - - JOSIAH CATO. - - 5. Holland Place, North Brixton. - - [Fosbroke, in his _Encyclopaedia of Antiquities_, vol. i. p. 397., - has given some curious notices of the early manufacture of this - useful article.

Immediately previous to the ordination of a -minister of the church of Scotland, the Moderator--that is, the member -of Presbytery who presides upon the occasion--calls upon him to answer -certain questions, acknowledging the Scriptures to be the word of God, -the doctrines of the Confession of Faith to be the truth of God; -disowning certain doctrinal errors; declaring his belief that the -Presbyterian government and discipline of this church are founded on the -word of God, and agreeable thereto; expressing the views with which he -enters the ministry, and his resolution faithfully to discharge its -duties. Having answered these questions satisfactorily, he is set aside -to the work of the ministry by prayer and imposition of the hands of the -Presbytery (the local Ecclesiastical Court). - -At the conclusion of the service he is called on to sign what is called -the Formula, an abstract of the first portion of the questions put to -him. It is as follows:-- - - "I, A. B., do hereby declare, that I do sincerely own and believe - the whole doctrine contained in the Confession of Faith, approven - by the General Assemblies of this national church, and ratified by - law in the year 1690, and frequently confirmed by divers acts of - parliament since that time, to be the truths of God; and I do own - the same as the confession of my faith: as likewise, I do own the - purity of worship presently authorised and practised in this - church, and also the Presbyterian government and discipline now so - happily established therein; which doctrine, worship, and church - government, I am persuaded, are founded upon the word of God, and - agreeable thereto: and I promise that, through the grace of God, I - shall firmly and constantly adhere to the same; and to the utmost - of my power, shall, in my station, assert, maintain, and defend - the said doctrine, worship, discipline, and government of this - church by Kirk Sessions, Presbyteries, Provincial Synods, and - General Assemblies; and that I shall in my practice conform myself - to the said worship, and submit to the said discipline and - government, and never endeavour directly or indirectly the - prejudice or subversion of the same: and I promise that I shall - follow no divisive course from the present establishment in this - church: renouncing all doctrines, tenets, and opinions whatsoever, - contrary to or inconsistent with the said doctrine, worship, - discipline, or government of this church. - - "Signed, A. B." - -No oath is taken, and no obligation come under but the above. In the -Confession of Faith, under the head Church, the supremacy of the Pope is -denied; but neither in that, the Questions, or the Formula, is there any -other reference to any other form of church government. - - H. - - -THE OLD COUNTESS OF DESMOND. - -(Vol. v., p. 145.) - -As there has been, from time to time, much written in your very -interesting publication on the subject of the "Old Countess of Desmond," -it may, perhaps, not be unacceptable that I should give you a -description of an old family picture in my possession, said to be of -that person, to which allusion has been made by some of your -correspondents, especially by A. B. R., in your paper of Saturday, 14th -February. The painting in question has been for a great number of years -in the possession of my family, and from my earliest childhood I have -heard it designated as that of the old "Countess of Desmond," although -there is no mention of her name thereon. My father for a long time -thought it was a work of Rembrandt; but on a close examination there was -discovered the name of "G. Douw," low at the left-hand side; and since -the picture has been cleaned, the signature has become more distinct. It -is painted on board of dark-coloured oak, of eleven inches by eight and -a half. The portrait, which reaches to below the bust, and represents a -person sitting, is eight and a half inches in length; the face about -two and three quarter inches. It is admitted by the best judges to be a -painting of great merit. It represents, as well as it is possible, -extreme old age, with an extraordinary degree of still remaining vigour, -and in this respect certainly fits exactly the character of its subject. -The dress is correctly described by your correspondent A. B. R. The -forehead is not very high, but square and intellectual--deeply wrinkled; -the nose is rather long, and very well formed; the eyes dark; the mouth -compressed, and denoting quiet firmness; the expression altogether -pleasing and placid, and the face one that must have been handsome in -youth. Should any of your correspondents wish to see this picture, I -shall leave it for a short time in the hands of my bookseller, Mr. -Newman, 3. Bruton Street, Bond Street, who has kindly consented to take -charge of it, and to show it to those who feel an interest in such -matters. - -It must, at first sight, appear strange that such men as G. Douw, the -painter of the picture in question, or Rembrandt to whom are attributed -other portraits of this old lady, should have condescended to copy from -other artists, (for the respective dates render it quite impossible they -could have painted from life in this instance): however, it is natural -to suppose that this extraordinary instance of longevity made great -noise at the time of, and for some time after, her death, and that a -correct representation of such a physical phenomenon, although the work -of an inferior artist, may well have afforded a fitting study for even -such eminent painters as Rembrandt and G. Douw. - -As I am on this subject, I shall further trouble you with a circumstance -in connexion therewith, which has recently come to my knowledge. My -friend, Mr. Herbert, M.P., of Muckross Abbey, Killarney, has also an old -family picture of the same lady, with a very curious inscription, which, -while it would appear to go far towards establishing several of her -characteristic attributes, has also its peculiar difficulties, which I -shall presently point out, in the hope that some of your correspondents -who are learned in such matters may explain them. The inscription, which -is on the canvass itself, is as follows: - - "Catharine, Countesse of Desmonde, as she appeared at ye court of - our Sovraigne Lord King James, in thys preasant A.D. 1614, and in - ye 140th yeare of her age. Thither she came from Bristol to seek - relief, ye house of Desmonde having been ruined by Attainder. She - was married in ye Reigne of King Edward IV., and in ye course of - her long Pilgrimage renewed her teeth twice: her Principal - residence is at Inchiquin, in Munster, whither she undoubtedlye - proposeth (her Purpose accomplished) incontinentlie to return. - LAUS DEO." - -Now, as to the authenticity of this picture, there can, I should think, -be no question. It has not been _got up_ for the present antiquarian -controversy; for it is known to have been in existence in the family of -Mr. Herbert for a great many years. It could not well be a mystification -of the intervening "middle age," for in that case it would doubtless -have been brought forward at _the time_, to establish a particular -theory as to this lady. I think, therefore, it is only reasonable to -suppose that it was painted at the time it professes. It may also be -mentioned, in corroboration, that a connoisseur who examined this -picture for Mr. Herbert attributed it to the hand of Jamieson, the -Scotch painter, who lived at a time that would render it quite possible -for him to have painted it from life. So far so good. The main -difficulty is that of the dates given in the inscription. If the -Countess was 140 in 1614, and therefore born in 1474, she could have -been but eight or nine years old at the death of Edward IV., and -therefore could not have been married in his reign. It is difficult to -account for this discrepancy, except by supposing that the old lady sank -ten years of her age (and there are statements in existence of 1464 -being the year of her birth); or else by supposing that the story of her -marriage in the reign of Edward IV. was not her own, but communicated, -at second-hand and erroneously, to the artist. - -On this point I hope some of your more learned correspondents will -favour us with their opinion. There has also been recently sent me by a -friend an extract from the "Birch Collection," British Museum (Add. MSS. -4161.), being transcripts of a _Table Book of Robert Sidney, second Earl -of Leicester_, which contradicts the inscription in some particulars: -but Lord Leicester writes in a loose and apparently not very authentic -style. He states, on the authority of a "Mr. Harnet," that the Countess -of Desmond came to petition "the Queen" (Elizabeth), and not King James; -and quotes Sir W. Raleigh (on memory) as saying that he (Sir W. R.) saw -her in England in 1589. He also talks of her death as occurring at the -end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and as being caused by a fall from -a "nutt-tree." I do not think, indeed, that much weight should attach to -these notes of Lord Leicester; but it is fair to give all that comes to -light, whether it makes against or for the authenticity of what one -wishes to establish. - - P. FITZGERALD, KNIGHT OF KERRY. - - Union Club, London. - - -SHAKSPEARE'S SICKLE OR SHEKEL. - -(_Value of Solidus Gallicus?_) - -(Vol. v., p. 277.) - -I undertake to answer C. W. B.'s Query with the greater readiness, -because it affords me an opportunity of upholding that which has ever -been the leading object in every amendment of Shakspeare's text -advocated by me, viz., the unravelling and explaining, rather than the -alteration, of the original. Perhaps it is with a similar aim that C. W. -B. wishes to investigate the value of "siclus;" if so, he must pardon me -if I forestall him. - -I see no difficulty in the passage which he asks to have construed; its -meaning is this: - - "The sacred sickle (or shekel) was equivalent to an Attic - tetradrachma, which Budaeus estimated at 14 Gallic solidi, or - thereabouts; for the didrachma was seven solidi, since the single - drachma made three and a half solidi, _less_ a denier Tournois." - -Which is as much as to say, that the sickle equalled fourteen solidi, -less four deniers; or 13-2/3 solidi. - -But owing to the rapid declension in the value of French coin after the -tenth century, it is manifestly impossible to assign a value to these -solidi unless the precise date of their coinage were known. A writer -may, of course, allude to coin indefinitely precedent to his own time. -In the present case, however, we may, as a matter of curiosity, -_analytically_ approximate to a result in this way:-- - -The drachma is now known to have contained about 65 grains of pure -silver, consequently the tetradrachma contained 260 grains. The present -franc contains about 70 grains of pure silver, and consequently the sol, -or 20th part, is 3-1/2 grains. - -This last, multiplied by 13-2/3, produces about 48 grains. But the -weight of the tetradrachma is 260 grains; therefore the sol with which -the comparison was made must have contained upwards of fivefold its -present value in pure silver. - -Now, according to the depreciation tables of M. Dennis, this condition -obtained in 1483, under Charles VIII., at which time Budaeus was actually -living, having been born in 1467; but from other circumstances I am -induced to believe that the solidus gallicus mentioned by him was coined -by Louis XII. in 1498, at which time the quantity of pure silver was -fourfold and a half that of the present day. - -So much in answer to C. W. B.'s Query; now for its relation to -Shakspeare's text, with which however the "siclus" in question has -nothing in common except the name; since the "sickles," so beautifully -alluded to by Isabella, in _Measure for Measure_ (Act II. Sc. 2.), were -_sicli aurei_, "of the tested gold." - -But I have designedly used the word _sickle_ as the English -representative of the Latin _siclus_ (Gallice _cicle_), because it is -the original word of Shakspeare, which was subsequently, most -unwarrantably and unwisely, altered by the commentators to _shekels_ in -conformity with the Hebraicised word of our scriptural translation.[2] -Hence it is that "sickles" has come to be looked upon as _a corruption -of the text_; and "shekels" as a very clever _conjectural emendation_! - -We retain _sickle_, Anglice for _sicula_, a scythe; but we refuse it to -Shakspeare for a word almost identical in sound--_siculus_, or siclus! - -The real corruption has been that of Shakspeare's commentators, not his -printers'; and I hope that some future editor of his plays will have the -courage to permit him to spell this, and other proper names, in his own -way. For how can his text continue to be an example of his language, if -his words may be altered to suit the _precieuse_ fashion of subsequent -times? - - A. E. B. - - Leeds. - - [Footnote 2: [Our correspondent of course alludes to King James's - translation. Upon reference to Sir Frederic Madden's admirable - edition of Wickliffe's Bible, we find A. E. B.'s position directly - corroborated: "The erthe that thou askist is worth foure hundryd - _sicles_ of silver."--Genesis, xxiii. 15. And in Exodus, xxx. 13., - "A _sicle_ that is a nounce hath twenti half scripples;" or, as in - the second edition, "A _sicle_ hath twenti halpens."--ED.]] - - -A FEW MORE WORDS ABOUT "DULCARNON." - -(Vol. i., p. 254.; Vol. v., pp. 252-3.) - -By the aid of Dr. Adam Littleton and your correspondent A. N., all -future editors of Chaucer and glossarists are helped over this _pons -asinorum_: the word being evidently nothing more than the adoption of -the Arabic DHU 'LKARNEIN, i.e. _two-horned_; and hence, as the reputed -son of Jupiter Ammon, Alexander's oriental name, Iscander _Dhu -'lkarnein_, i.e. Bicornis. - -The legend of the building of the wall, in the fabulous Eastern lives of -Alexander, is to be found in the 18th chapter of the Koran; and it is -related with variations and amplification by Sir John Mandeville. The -metrical as well as prose romances on the subject of Alexander also -contain it; and those who wish for more information will find it in the -third volume of Weber's _Metrical Romances_, p. 331. - -I cannot say that I am quite convinced of the truth of the ingenious -supposition of your correspondent, that "Sending to Dulcarnein is merely -an ellipsis of the person for his place, _i.e._ for the rampart of -Dulcarnein." It appears to me more probable, that as, according to St. -Jerome and other writers of the Middle Ages, the _Dilemma_ was also -called Syllogismum _Cornutum_, its Arabic name was _Dhu 'lkarnein_; and -we know how much in science and literature the darker ages were indebted -to the Arabian writers. Wyttenbach, in his _Logic_, says "_Dilemma_ -etiam _Cornutus_ est; quod _utrimque_ veluti _Cornibus_ pugnat." At any -rate it is clear that the enclosure had another name: - - "En Ynde si naist uns grans mons - Qui est une grans regions - C'on apiele _Mont Capien_. - Illuec a unes gens sans bien, - Qu' Alixandres dedens enclost, - Et sont la gent _Got_ et _Magot_." - - _Extrait de l'Image du Monde, par Le Roux de Lincy, Livre des - Legendes_, p. 208. - -It does not appear to me that _to be at Dalcarnon_ is equivalent to -being _sent to Coventry_, or to Jericho, as your correspondent A. N. -supposes; or that the word _flemyng_, in this passage, means -_banishing_, but rather _defeating_, _daunting_, _dismaying_, in which -sense it occurs more than once in Layamon; thus, vol. ii. p. 410.:-- - - "Thine feond _flaemen_ - & driven hem of londen." - -The general sense of the word is, however, _to expel_, _to drive out_, -and not _to enclose_, as Alexander is said to have done the Gog and -Magog people, by his iron, or rather bituminous, wall. Now those who -were at Dulcarnon, or _in a Dilemma_, might well be said to be defeated -or dismayed. - -Let us hope that some oriental scholar among your correspondents may be -able to indicate where the word is to be found in some Arabian expositor -of logic or dialectic, &c., and thus set the question entirely at rest. - -Are we never to have an edition of Chaucer worthy of him, and creditable -to us? Had our northern neighbours possessed such a treasure, every MS. -in existence would have been examined and collated, and the text -settled. His language would have been thoroughly investigated and -explained[3], and every possible source of elucidation made available. -May we not hope that the able editor of Layamon and Wickliffe will yet -add to the obligation every lover of our early literature owes to him, -an edition of our first great poet, such as his previous labours have -shown that he is so well qualified to give? - - [Footnote 3: This is evident from the interest the Germans have - manifested, _e.g._ the younger Gesenius, in his able essay, _De - Lingua Chauceri Commentationem Grammaticam_; and Edward Fiedler's - _Translation of the Canterbury Tales_.] - - S. W. SINGER. - - -ENGLISH SURNAMES. - -(Vol. v., p. 290.) - -I have, as most of the readers of "N. & Q." are aware, for a -considerable time past turned my attention to the subject of _English -Surnames_, and the sale of three editions of my work under that title -shows that such a book was a desideratum. Chapters on the origin of -surnames exist in Camden's _Remaines_, Verstegan's _Restitution_, and -elsewhere, and there are detached notices in the _Gentleman's Magazine_ -and other periodicals; but my work is the first, and as yet the _only_ -independent treatise on the subject. Any one who will be at the trouble -to compare my first and third editions will at once see how this inquiry -has grown under my hands; but although I have collected and classified -6000 names, much still remains to be accomplished. Under this -conviction, I am now engaged in the compilation of a _Dictionary of -English Family Names_, which I hope to complete within the present year. -My plan will include: - -I. The name. - -II. The class to which it belongs. The classes will be about twenty in -number. - -III. The etymology of each name when necessary. - -IV. Definitions and remarks. - -V. Illustrative quotations from old English authors. - -VI. The century in which the name first occurs. - -VII. The corruptions and most remarkable variations which the name has -undergone. - -VIII. Proverbs associated with family names, _e.g._:-- - - "All the _Tracys_ - Have the wind in their faces," - -in allusion to the judgment of heaven which is said to have befallen the -posterity of Wm. de Traci, one of the assassins of Thos. a Becket. - -IX. Anecdotes and traditions. - -My object in making this statement, is to solicit from the numerous and -learned correspondents of "N. & Q." contributions of surnames and -suggestions in furtherance of my undertaking; and from the Editor, -permission to query from time to time upon the origin, date, and history -of such surnames as I am unable satisfactorily to elucidate without -assistance. A field so large requires the co-operation of many -labourers. I have already secured the friendly aid of some of the most -competent antiquaries in England; and I confidently anticipate for the -forthcoming collection a degree of success proportioned to the amount of -labour and research bestowed upon it. - -Of _local_ surnames few will be introduced; for, as nearly every landed -property has given a name to the family of its early proprietor, it -would be impossible to include all the names so derived. Only the more -remarkable ones of this class, which would appear at first sight to come -from a totally different source, will be admitted. Blennerhasset, -Polkinghom, Woodhead, Wisdom, Bodycoat, and Crawl, for example, are -names of places, and surnames have been derived from them, although few -except the persons resident in the particular localities are aware that -any such places exist. Most of the names that baffle all historical and -etymological acumen are probably of this class. - -I wish it to be understood that my dictionary will only include family, -that is, _hereditary_ surnames. Merely personal sobriquets which died -with their first possessors (and which are found in large numbers in -ancient records) will be passed by, unless they should illustrate some -appellative which has descended to our times. - -In conclusion, this work is by no means intended to supersede my -_English Surnames_, which contains much matter unsuited to dictionary -arrangement, and is intended to convey information on a neglected -subject in a popular form. The illustrations in the _Dictionary_ will -for the most part be new, with references to the _English Surnames_ for -others. - -The foregoing announcement was intended to be sent to "N. & Q." some -weeks since. I am now induced to forward it without further delay, -because I see the subject of surnames introduced in to-day's number by -two different correspondents. COWGILL, the first of these, could, if so -disposed, render me efficient help. As to the remarks of J. H. on the -works of "Lower and others" (_what others?_), they clearly show that he -has never read what he so summarily condemns, or he would not now have -to ask for the supposed number of surnames in England, which is given in -my third edition, vol. i., preface, p. xiii. Though I am, perhaps, more -fully aware than any other person of the defects and demerits of my -_English Surnames_, I think the literary public will hardly deny me the -credit of "_some_ study and research," praise which has been awarded me -by better critics than J. H. It is not my practice to notice the -censures of anonymous writers, but I cannot forbear adverting to two -points in J. H.'s short communication. In the first place his desire for -a work giving _all_ the names used in England, and "showing when they -were first adopted or brought into this country," shows his entire want -of acquaintance with the existing state of the nomenclature of English -families. A glance at a few pages of so common a book as the _London -Directory_, will convince any competent observer that there are hundreds -upon hundreds of surnames that would baffle the most imaginative -etymologist. Secondly, J. H. proposes that an author treating on the -subject of family names, should begin "with the Britons." Does he really -suppose that the Celtic possessors of our island bore family names -according to the modern practice? If so, "Lower and (many) others" can -assure him that his antiquarian and historical knowledge must be of a -somewhat limited kind. - - MARK ANTONY LOWER. - - Lewes. - - -REV. JOHN PAGET. - -(Vol. iv., p. 133.; Vol. v., pp. 66. 280.) - -Since the Notes, kindly transmitted from Holland in answer to my Query -respecting the family of the Rev. John Paget, appeared in "N. & Q.," I -have discovered that the Pagets to whom my Query related, as well as the -others alluded to by your correspondents, were all of the family of -Paget of Rothley, Leicestershire, of whom a (partially incomplete) -pedigree is given in Nichols's _Leicestershire_, vol. iv. p. 481. I was -led to this conclusion by finding that Robert Paget (the writer of a -preface before alluded to "from Dort, 1641") mentions in his will -Roadley (Rothley) in Leicestershire as his birthplace, and speaks of his -brother George as residing in his "patrimoniall house" there: he is -probably the Robert, son of Michael Paget, and great-grandson of the -Rev. Harold Paget, vicar of Rothley in 1564, who is mentioned in the -pedigree as born at Rothley in 1611: he died at Dordt in 1684. The -pedigree gives him an uncle named Thomas, born in 1589 (two indeed of -that name, and both born the same year!); this will do very well for the -Rev. Thomas Paget, incumbent of Blackley, and rector of Stockport; and -another named John, who died, aged seven, in 1582: still I cannot help -believing that John Paget, the writer, was this Robert's uncle, and feel -mightily disposed to metamorphose one of the two Thomases into John. The -Rev. Thomas Paget died in October, 1660, leaving his property to his two -sons, Nathan M.D., and Thomas a clergyman. What relation was he to that -Mr. Paget to whom Dee, the astrologer (see his _Diary_, p. 55. Camden -Society, 1842), sold a house in Manchester in 1595? His son, Dr. Nathan, -in a _Thesis on the Plague_, printed at Leyden in 1639, describes -himself on the title-page as Mancestr-Anglus. According to Mr. Paget's -will, dated May 23, 1660, he was then minister at Stockport, Cheshire; -and I am inclined to think him identical with Thomas Paget, rector of -St. Chads, Shrewsbury, from 1646 to 1659, although Owen and Blakeway -(_History of Shrewsbury_, 2 vols. 4to. 1825) consider the latter to be -son of John (James?) Paget, Baron of the Exchequer, temp. Car. I.: this -descent is, I am confident, erroneous. Thomas Paget appears to have gone -to Amsterdam in 1639 on the death of the Rev. John Paget, and to have -returned to England in 1646, in which year his son John (who must have -been much younger than his two other sons, and is, moreover, not -mentioned in his will dated 1660) was baptized at Shrewsbury. Dr. Nathan -Paget was an intimate friend of Milton, and cousin to the poet's fourth -wife, Elizabeth Minshull, of whose family descent (which appears to be -rather obscure) I may, at another time, communicate some particulars. - -Whilst the subject of the Pagets (a very interesting one to me), I -cannot refrain from noticing, even at the risk of encroaching on your -space, a singular mistake of Anthony a Wood respecting another writer -(though of an entirely different family) of the name of Paget. Speaking -of the Rev. Ephraim Paget (_Athen. Oxon._, vol. ii. p. 51.) he says: - - "One of both his names (his uncle I think) translated into English - _Sermons upon Ruth_, Lond. 1586, in oct., written originally by - Lod. Lavater; but whether the said Ephraim Paget was educated at - Oxon, I cannot justly say, though two or more of his sirname and - time occur in our registers." - -Had Anthony ever _seen_ the book in question, he would have been aware -that the title-page informs him that it was translated by Ephraim -Pagitt, a child of eleven years of age; and as, according to the said -Anthony's account, Ephraim was born in 1575, he would also at once have -seen that Ephraim himself--not that ideal personage, his "uncle of the -same name"--was the translator. - - CRANMORE. - - -LETTER TO A BRIGADIER-GENERAL. - -(Vol. v., p 296.) - -Your correspondent W. C. begins his letter modestly. "If," he says, -Thomas Lord Lyttleton wrote _The Letters of Junius_, and "if" Junius -wrote the "Letter to the Brigadier-General," then he sees a difficulty. -Why, of course he does: but as nobody but the writer in the _Quarterly_ -believes that the said Thomas did write the _Letters of Junius_, and as -it has never been proved that Junius did write the "Letter to a -Brigadier," I must believe that something remains to be done before we -proceed a step farther either in the way of argument or inference. -Unless some such resolution be come to by inquirers, we shall never get -out of the mazes in which this question has been involved, by like -conditional statements, and the conditional arguments founded thereon. - -As to the Lyttleton story, I shall dismiss it at once: it is not -entitled to the sort of respectability which attaches to a case put -hypothetically, nor to the honour of an "if;" and I must remind your -correspondent that in a Junius question "general belief" is no evidence. -Every story, however absurd, once asserted, is "generally believed," -until some one (a rare and exceptional case) proves that it is not -true--probably that it could not be true. The general belief, for -example, that the "Letter to a Brigadier" was written by Junius, is not, -so far as I know, supported by a tittle of evidence. It is all assertion -and assumption, founded on the opinion of A., B., and C., as to "style," -&c. Now, as some two dozen different persons have been proved, by like -confident opinions, on like evidence, to be the writer of _Junius's -Letters_, I may be excused when I acknowledge that the test is not with -me quite conclusive. In respect, however, to this "Letter to a -Brigadier," Mr. Britton and Sir David Brewster have proceeded somewhat -further. Having, with others, come to the conclusion that Junius was the -writer, Mr. Britton proceeds to show that Barre served in Canada under -Wolfe, and was the very man, from circumstances, position, and feelings, -who could, would, and did write that letter. Sir David endeavours to -show that Macleane was in like circumstance, stimulated by like -feelings, and was the veritable Simon; founding his argument mainly on -the belief that Macleane was also serving there as surgeon of Otway's -regiment. It has been shown in the _Athenaeum_ that Macleane never was -surgeon of Otway's regiment, and that in all probability he never was in -Canada: in brief, that the memoir is a mistake from beginning to end. As -all, however, that is urged by Sir David in favour of Macleane, as one -who had served under Wolfe, may be thought to strengthen, to that -extent, the claim of Barre, who certainly did so serve, and was severely -wounded, let us look at the facts. - -Barre was wounded at the capture of Quebec; and, under date of Oct. -1759, Knox, in his _Historical Journal_, says, "Colonel Carlton and -Major Barre retired to the southward for the recovery of their wounds." -From his letter to Mr. Pitt (_Chath. Corr._), we find that Barre was at -New York, April 28, 1760. He appears subsequently to have joined Amherst -before Montreal; and on the capture of Montreal, on Sept. 8, 1760, he -was appointed to convey the despatches to England, and arrived in London -on the 5th October. These are facts public and unquestioned--admitted by -Mr. Britton. - -Now for a fact out of the "Letter to a Brigadier." I could give you half -a dozen of like character, but space is precious, and one, I think, will -be sufficient. The writer quotes _in extenso_ a letter written by -Townshend, published in _The Daily Advertiser_, and dated "South Audley -Square, 20th June, 1760." Mr. Britton admits that the pamphlet must have -been published "some time before the 5th October, as on that day a -Refutation appeared;" it was, in fact, reviewed, or rather abused, in -the _Critical Review_ for September. We have proof, therefore, that the -"Letter to a Brigadier" was written after 20th June, and founded, in -part, on facts known _in London_ only on the 21st of June at the -earliest: the probabilities are that it was published in August or -September, certainly before the 5th October. How then could it have been -written by a man in America, serving before Montreal? - - L. B. G. - - -MAPS OF AFRICA. - -(Vol. v., p. 261.) - -I do not know why, because a man publishes maps of Africa at Gotha, they -should not be "fancy portraits," any more than why a man's book should -be a good one, because it is printed on a composition which nobody but a -German would have the effrontery to call paper. - -I had seen Spruner's Map a few weeks after it came out, and the -conclusion I came to about it at the time was, that it was certainly a -fancy portrait. I shall be glad to be shown that I am in error; and, as -I am more sure of the fact that I did come to this conclusion after some -examination, than I am of the argument whereby I arrived at it--for my -memory is singularly gifted in this way--I should be obliged by E. C. -H., or any of your correspondents, informing me what grounds there are -for believing Spruner, or any one else, to have produced a map or maps -of the north coast of Africa between long. 5 [degrees] west, and 25 -[degrees] east of Greenwich, or any portion of the said coast,--said map -or maps being the result of actual survey. Moreover, if I further -inquire when any survey whatever took place of this coast at any time, -and profess my utter ignorance of the history of our present _North_ -African maps, and my great doubts of their credibility, let not your -correspondents imagine that this is one of a _few_ things that I ought -to be acquainted with, and really know nothing whatever about. - - AJAX. - - -Replies to Minor Queries. - -_James Wilson, M.D._ (Vol. v., p. 276.).--To the numerous list of men -whose services to literature our English biographers have injudiciously -omitted to record may be added James Wilson, M.D. As editor of the -_Mathematical tracts_ of Mr. Benjamin Robins in 1761, he has often been -noticed with commendation. Beyond that circumstance, all is obscurity. - -He wrote, however, a valuable _Dissertation on the rise and progress of -the modern art of navigation_, which was first published by Mr. John -Robertson in his _Elements of navigation_ in 1764, and republished by -him in 1772. The authors shall now speak for themselves:-- - - "This edition [of the _Elements of navigation_] is also enriched - with the history of the art of navigation; for with the author's - leave, I have published the following dissertation on that - subject, written by Dr. Wilson, believing it would afford the most - ample satisfaction on that subject."--John ROBERTSON, 1764. - - "My enquiries into these matters [navigation] induced the late - learned Dr. James Wilson to review and complete his observations - on the subject, and produced his _Dissertation_ on the history of - the art of navigation, which he was pleased to give me leave to - publish with the second edition of this work.... The second - edition of these _Elements_ having also been well received by the - public, Dr. Wilson took the pains to revise his _Dissertation_, - which he improved in many particulars."--John ROBERTSON, Nov. 1, - 1772. - - "This _Dissertation_, written at first by desire, is now reprinted - with alterations. Though I may be thought to have dwelt too long - on some particulars, not directly relating to the subject; yet I - hope that what is so delivered, will not be altogether - unentertaining to the candid reader. As to any apology for having - handled a matter quite foreign to my way of life, I shall only - plead, that very young, living in a sea-port town, I was eager to - be acquainted with an art that could enable the mariner to arrive - across the wide and pathless ocean at his desired harbour." - - London. James WILSON, 1771? - -The united libraries of Henry Pemberton, M.D., F.R.S., and James Wilson, -M.D., were sold in 1772.

B. -Depping. Paris, 1830. 8vo. 2 vols. This subject was proposed in 1826, as -a prize essay, by the Academie royale des inscriptions et -belles-lettres, and M. Depping was the successful competitor. The prize, -a gold medal of the value of 1500 francs, was awarded in 1828. M. le -baron Silvestre de Sacy, whose profound acquaintance with oriental -history and literature enabled him to detect some slight errors in the -work, thus concludes his review of it in the _Journal des savants_: -"Mais ces legeres critiques ne m'empechent pas de rendre toute justice a -un travail veritablement estimable, et digne de l'honneur qu'il a obtenu -de l'Academie des belles-lettres." - - BOLTON CORNEY. - -_Ecclesiastical Geography_ (Vol. v., p. 276.).--There is a work on this -subject by I.

Sir William Butts, physician to Henry VIII., and Dr. -Robert Butts, my great-grandfather, formerly Bishop of Norwich, were of -that family, and if your correspondent will communicate privately with -me, I shall be happy to receive from him, and communicate to him, any -particulars of a public character concerning a family of which I am -nearly the only representative. My address is "Rev. Edward Drury Butts, -Camesworth, Bridport." - - E. D.

If my recollection be -accurate, the novelist speaks of it as an event of which he had personal -knowledge, and does not quote any earlier authority. - - K.

FRASER, that the ill-fated Amazon, Captain Symons, did -really sail on a Friday, as he suggested she might have done. - -The day was January 2, 1852, by Lloyd's Lists, which is the day of the -month the West India mail always leaves this country. - - J.

The inscription within the -lid is curious, and is copied by Wilde. - - E. D. - -_English Translation of the Canons_ (Vol. v., p. 246.).--M. tells us -that in the second clause of the 36th canon of 1603, the words _quodque -eodem taliter uti liceat_ are translated "and that the same may be -lawfully used," the word _taliter_ being altogether omitted in the -English. What authority is there for this statement? In all the copies -of the English Canons that I have examined, the translation is exact, -viz., "and that it may lawfully _so_ be used;" and that the form now -presented for subscription at ordination agrees with this, may be -inferred from the fact that the words are so printed in Mr. Hodgson's -_Instructions for the Clergy_ (6th edition, p. 8.). - -It would seem that M. has confounded with the Canons of 1603 an older -form, which was prescribed by Archbishop Whitgift in 1584 (Cardwell, -_Docum. Annals_, i. 414.). The words of that form agree with your -correspondent's quotation; and it has also a bearing on his assumption -that the 36th canon was originally presented for subscription in Latin, -and that the English version has been wrongfully substituted. Not only -is there (as I believe) no proof of this assumption; but we have the -fact that a set of _English_ articles, substantially the same with those -of the 36th canon of 1603 (or rather 1604), was subscribed for twenty -years before the body of the canons existed. - - J. C. R. - -_Few Descents through a long Period._--The pedigree of the noble family -of Dartmouth, given by Edmondson in his _Baronagium Genealogicum_, No. -197., contains an extraordinary instance of few descents through a long -period of time. - -The stock of descent is Thomas Legge, Sheriff of London in 1343, and -Lord Mayor in 1346. He had a son, Simon, whose son, Thomas, had issue, -William, who had issue an only son, Edward. This Edward had thirteen -children, one of whom, John, is stated to have died in 1702, aged 109. -Supposing Thomas Legge to have been 46 years old at his Mayoralty -(_i.e._ born in 1300) these six lives would extend over more than 400 -years. This is so extraordinary that I append a Query. Is Edmondson's -_Genealogy_ correct, or are there any intermediate descents omitted? - -The ages at death of four only of Edward's children are given, and they, -too, are remarkable: the before-mentioned John, aged 109 years; -Elizabeth (unmarried), 105 years; Margaret (married ---- Fitzgerald, -Esq.), 105 years; and Anne (married ---- Anthony, Esq.), 112 years.

BREEN. - - St. Lucia. - -_Bigot_ (Vol. v., p. 277.).--I beg to direct attention to the subjoined -extract from Mr. Trench's _Lectures on the Study of Words_, a most able -and interesting little work: - - "'Bigot' is another word widely spread over Europe, of which I am - inclined to think that we should look for the derivation where it - is not generally sought, and here too we must turn to Spain for - the explanation. It has much perplexed inquirers, and two - explanations of it are current; one of which traces it up to the - early Normans, while they yet retained their northern tongue, and - to their often adjuration by the name of God, with sometimes - reference to a famous scene in French history, in which Rollo, - Duke of Normandy, played a conspicuous part; the other puts it in - connexion with 'Beguines,' often called in Latin 'Beguttae,' a name - by which certain communities of pietest women were known in the - Middle Ages. Yet I cannot but think it probable, that rather than - to either of these sources, we owe the word to that mighty - impression which the Spaniards began to make upon all Europe in - the fifteenth century, and made for a long time after. Now the - word 'bigote' means in Spanish 'mustachio;' and, as contrasted - with the smooth or nearly smooth upper lip of most other people, - at that time the Spaniards were the 'men of the mustachio.' That - it was their characteristic feature comes out in Shakspeare's - _Love's Labour's Lost_, where Armado, the 'fantastical Spaniard,' - describes the king, 'his familiar, as sometimes being pleased to - lean on his poor shoulder, and dally with his mustachio.' [Act V. - Sc. 1.] That they themselves connected firmness and resolution - with the mustachio, that it was esteemed the outward symbol of - these, is plain from such phrases as 'hombre de bigote,' a man of - resolution; 'tener bigotes,' to stand firm. But that in which they - eminently displayed their firmness and resolution in those days, - was their adherence to whatever the Roman See required and taught. - What then more natural, or more entirely according to the law of - the generation of names, than that this striking and - distinguishing outward feature of the Spaniard should have been - laid hold of to express that character and condition which - eminently were his, and then transferred to all others who shared - the same? The mustachio is, in like manner, in France a symbol of - military courage; and thus 'un vieux moustache,' is an old soldier - of courage and military bearing. And strengthening this view, the - earliest use of the word which Richardson gives, is a passage from - Bishop Hall, where 'bigot' is used to signify a pervert to - Romanism: 'he was turned both _bigot_ and physician.' In further - proof that the Spaniard was in those times the standing - representative of the bigot and the persecutor, we need but turn - to the older editions of Fox's _Book of Martyrs_, where the Pagan - persecutors of the early Christians are usually arrayed in the - armour of Spanish soldiers, and sometimes graced with tremendous - 'bigotes.'" - - 2nd edit. 80-82. - -Mr. Trench's derivation of _bigot_ is, I think, very preferable to those -you cite. - - C.

On the 30th -September, 1502, he was constituted Lord Chief Justice of the Common -Pleas, and was, at or about the same time, knighted. In 19 Hen.

COOPER. - - Cambridge. - -_The Vellum-bound Junius_ (Vol. iii., p. 262.; Vol. v., p. 303.).--Since -I wrote to you I have seen my informant, and am now enabled to state, -that what your correspondent calls "the vellum-bound Junius," at Stowe, -was, as I said, printed on vellum, but _was not bound in vellum_. - - - V. B. J. - -_Plague Stones_ (Vol. v., p. 308.).--The three following places, where -these stones of exchange were erected, have just occurred to me, and I -forward them to add to the desired list:-- - -At Derby the stone was known by the name of the Headless Cross; and it -has within the last few years been removed for preservation to the -Arboretum in that town. - -A stone of a similar name existed at Shrewsbury. - -At East Retford, in Nottinghamshire, was also one, called the Broad -Stone. - - L. JEWITT. - -_George Trehern_ (Vol. v., p. 295.).--George Trehern, or Treheryon, was -Autumn Reader of Lincoln's Inn, 12 Hen. VIII.; Lent Reader there 16 Hen. -VIII.; and one of the Governors of that society 12 & 17 Hen. VIII. His -reading on Carta Forestae appears to have been printed in 4to., but in -what year is not stated. (Dugdale's _Origines Juridiciales_, 251. 259.; -_Bibliotheca Legum Angliae_, i. 24., ii. 191.) - - C. H. COOPER. - - Cambridge. - -_St. Christopher_ (Vol. v., p. 265.).--I know not whether Mr. Drake's -explanation (referred to by E. A. H. L.) be the same as that given in -_Sacred and Legendary Art_, but the latter seems sufficiently -satisfactory. - - "It was believed that in consequence of his prayer, those who - beheld the figure of St. Christopher were exempt during that day - from all perils of earthquake, fire, and flood. The mere sight of - his image, that type of strength, was deemed sufficient to inspire - with courage those who had to struggle with the evils and - casualties of life, and to reinvigorate those who were exhausted - by the labours of husbandry.... Hence it became a custom to place - his image in conspicuous places, to paint it of colossal size on - the walls of churches and houses, where it is sometimes seen - occupying the whole height of the building, and is visible from a - great distance, being considered as a good omen for all those who - look upon it. A mountain in Granada, which is first seen by ships - arriving from the African coast, is called San Cristobal, in - allusion to this poetical superstition."--_S. and L. Art_, p. 262. - - J. EASTWOOD. - -_White Livers_ (Vol. v., p. 127.).--The superstition, that a man or -woman who survives several wives or husbands has a white liver, is -common among the lower orders in Lancashire. - - P. P. - -_Torshel's Design to harmonise the Bible_ (Vol. v., p. 199.).--This rare -and valuable tract is reprinted in _The Phenix_, 1707, vol. i. pp. -96-113. - - JOHN I. DREDGE. - - - - -Miscellaneous. - - -NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. - -The success which has attended the endeavour to supply, by means of the -London Library in St. James's Square, the want so long felt by scholars -and reading men, of a library of circulation of works of a higher class -than those to be met with in ordinary subscription libraries, has just -been rendered evident by the publication of the second volume of its -_Catalogue_. - -From this it appears that there are now in this admirable -collection--for it is an admirable one--fifteen thousand distinct works -(upwards, we believe, of forty-five thousand volumes), comprising the -best and most expensive works in every department of learning, which -scholars and men of learning may have the use of in their own studies -for the small subscription of two pounds a year. There is little wonder -that the plan has succeeded, for it has been well carried out,--thanks -to the zeal of the Managing Committee, and to the care and attention of -Mr. Cochrane, its able and most efficient Librarian. - -_The History of the Restoration of Monarchy in France_, by Alphonse de -Lamartine. Volume the Second.--The brilliant and eloquent narrative -contained in this volume includes the period between Napoleon's -departure from Fontainebleau and his abdication. In the course of this -history we are presented with scene after scene which dazzle us with all -the gorgeous colouring of a panorama; but which, when we come to look -into their details, are found to be almost as obscure and indefinite as -the objects in those attractive works of art to which we have likened -them. The work has all the charms of a romance; but we fear purchases -this reputation by sacrificing the more sober requirements of a history. - -_Lectures and Addresses in Aid of Popular Education_, by the Right Hon. -the Earl of Carlisle.--It would be difficult to find a more faithful or -a more gratifying type of the present age than this new part of _The -Traveller's Library_, in which we see one of England's "belted earls," -and one of the most amiable and accomplished men of his time, recording -the experiences of his travels; and inviting to join him in the delights -which he has gathered from literary pursuits,--not a crowd of titled -listeners, but "a band of the hard-handed working men" fresh from the -anvil and the loom. - -_Were Heretics ever burned at Rome? A Report of the Proceedings of the -Roman Inquisition against Fulgentio Manfredi, taken from the Original -Manuscript brought from Italy by a French Officer, and edited, with a -parallel English Version, and Notes_, by the Rev. Richard Gibbings, -M.A.--The _Dublin Review_ for June 1850 having boldly asserted as a -fact, that "the Roman Inquisition--that is to say, the tribunal which -was immediately subject to the control and direction of the Popes -themselves, in their own city, has never been known to order the -execution of capital punishment"--the Rev. Richard Gibbings has -published, in contradiction of such assertion, this important document, -in the history of Father Fulgentio, who was hanged and burned in the -_Campo di Fiore_. - - -BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES - -WANTED TO PURCHASE. - -SCOTT'S CONTINUATION OF MILNER'S CHURCH HISTORY.
