Of these there is one (at p. 62.) which presents us -with the following honorable and characteristic anecdote of the late Sir -Robert Peel:-- - - "The writer of this sketch, now that Sir R. Peel is no more among - us, takes this, perhaps his only opportunity of mentioning the - generosity of that statesman's conduct towards Maginn. The Doctor - having always retained the strong feelings of an Irish Orangeman, - was one of those who condemned with severity Sir Robert's - pro-Catholic policy of 1829; nor, perhaps was there any one writer - of the time by whom the personal motives of the minister were more - unmercifully dealt with. The Doctor assailed them with unwearied - pertinacity, in various newspapers and magazines; but especially - in rhymes only less galling than the fiercest of Swift's. He had - never been personally acquainted with Peel, who could have known - nothing about him so distinctly as this hostility. Yet when, a few - years before Maginn's death, some of his friends were privately - making a subscription to relieve him from some pressing - difficulties, Sir Robert, casually hearing of it, immediately sent - through the writer of this sketch, with a stipulation for secrecy, - the sum of 100_l._ as a contribution to the fund. The writer - believes that Sir Robert on various subsequent occasions - interfered on the Doctor's behalf in a manner not less liberal, - and with the same delicate precautions. At all events, when the - doctor was near his end, Sir Robert forwarded for his use a - similar benefaction of 100_l._ The writer has no reason to suppose - that Maginn was ever aware of any of these kind deeds. It remains - to be added that, some years after Dr. Maginn's death, his only - son, on attaining the requisite age, received a cadetship in the - East Indies from Sir Robert Peel's last government."--(1852.) - -The perusal of this interesting passage has reminded us of a desire -which we felt most strongly at the time when the country lost the -distinguished man to whom it relates; and which we should then have -given expression to, but for the fear that in the multitude of projects -for doing honour to his memory then floating before the public eye, -what we had to propose might not be received in the way which his merits -deserved. - -Sir Robert Peel was pre-eminently a patron of English Literature and -literary men; and we hoped, and do still hope, to see a recognition of -his great claims in that special character on the part of the men of -letters in this country. The most appropriate that occurs to us would be -the erection of his bust or statue in the vestibule of that national -establishment, in the welfare and management of which he always took so -great an interest--we mean the British Museum. - -The minister who, in terms alike honorable to himself and to the man of -letters to whom the dignity was offered, tendered a baronetcy to -Southey, and conferred upon him a pension of 300_l._ a year--who gave -the same amount to Wordsworth--who gave to James Montgomery 150_l._ a -year, and to Tytler, to Tennyson, and to M'Culloch, each 200_l._ a -year--who bestowed a pension upon Frances Brown, and gave a 100_l._ a -year to the widow of Thomas Hood--who gave the first appointment of his -first administration to a son of Allan Cunningham, and placed the sons -of Mrs. Hemans in the service of the Crown,--Sir Robert Peel, the man -and the minister who could thus recognise the claims of Literature[1], -and not, like ministers of old, stipulate for a return in the political -support of those whom he so distinguished, was surely a person whose -memory the men of letters in this country should not be slow to honour. - - [Footnote 1: We have confined our remarks to Sir Robert Peel's - patronage of Literature; but that patronage was as liberally - bestowed upon Science and Art. To him Mrs. Somerville and Sir M. - Faraday were indebted for their pensions; and while his friendship - with Lawrence, Wilkie, and Chantrey, and his patronage of Collins, - Roberts, Stansfield, &c., cannot be forgotten, his prompt and most - kind response to poor Haydon's application for assistance, though - addressed to him at a moment when plunged in the fiercest - political struggle in which he was ever engaged, can never be - forgotten.] - -Let us hope that the moment has arrived when they will do justice to him -who was so ready to recognise their claims. Let Lord Mahon or Mr. -Hallam, who enjoyed the friendship of Sir Robert Peel, step forward and -begin the good work. An appeal from either of them would arouse a host. -They would be supported by all who love Literature, from the highest to -the humblest. Who can doubt that the author of _Coningsby_ and the -author of _Don Carlos_ would rejoice at the opportunity, which would -thus be afforded them, of uniting to do honour to the memory of a -political opponent, in that character in which he deservedly won the -applause of all men--as the judicious and munificent PATRON OF THE -LITERATURE OF OUR NATIVE COUNTRY. - - - - -Notes. - - -SITTING IN BEDE'S CHAIR. - -One of the most interesting antiquities of Jarrow Church, -Northumberland, is the chair of the Venerable Bede. It is preserved in -the vestry of the church, whither all brides repair as soon as the -marriage service is over, to seat themselves upon it. This, according to -the popular belief, will make them the joyful mothers of children; and -the expectant mothers (as I have been informed) would not consider the -marriage ceremony complete, until they had been enthroned in the -Venerable Bede's chair. The chair is very rude and substantial; made of -oak; in height, four feet ten inches; having an upright back, and sides -that slope off for the arms. According to the barbarous English fashion, -it is carved over with the nomenclature of all the vulgar obscurities of -the neighbourhood, whose sacrilegious penknives, together with the -wanton depredations of relic-hunters, have so "shorn" the chair of its -"fair proportions," that soon nothing but its attenuated form, "small by -degrees, and beautifully less," will be left for the future Childe -Harold to address with-- - - "Can it be, - That this is all remains of thee?" - -Every foreigner who has visited our churches and cathedrals cannot fail -to remark how the English love of popularity glares forth in its most -sickly form in this barbarous custom of writing and carving names upon -monuments, or other works of art. Every observant person, too, when he -sees John Smith's name and full address, scratched with painful and -elaborate accuracy upon the stern but noseless face of some alabaster -knight, while he wonders at the gratuitous trouble which John Smith has -taken, must deplore the want of education thus so lamentably evinced. -Happily, this vulgar taste (so far as our churches are concerned) is now -under some control; but, nevertheless, it is still sad to see--at -Lichfield, for example--that control obliged to take the visible shape -of railings, to prevent Messrs. Smith, Brown, Jones, and Robinson from -handing their names down to posterity on the life-like marble of -Chantrey's "Sleeping Children." I have heard that this mode of defacing -monuments took its rise in the time of the Protectorate; and I would -wish to put this in the form of a _Query_: Whether it was so, or no? -With the impression that it _was_ the case, I have for many years past -examined the dates that accompanied names scratched upon monuments, and -never found a date earlier than the Protectorate. The subject seems -worth the inquiry. - -To return to Bede's chair. It has often been engraved: but the best -representation of it that I know, is that by Mr. W. B. Scott, in his -_Antiquarian Gleanings of the North of England_. Besides his careful -etching of the present state of the chair, he also gives a suggestive -woodcut of its restoration. The ornamental portion he confines to the -front of the seat, and the head of the chair. - - CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A. - -_Dedication Stone at Jarrow Church._--While on the subject of Bede's -chair at Jarrow, it may not prove altogether useless to transcribe you a -faithful copy of the dedication stone of Jarrow Church, which is now -placed against the tower-arch of the nave: - - DEDICATIO BASILICAE - SCIPAVLI VIIII KL MAI - ANNO XVECFRIDIREG - - CEOLFRIDIABBEIVSQ - Q·ECCLESDOAVCTORE - CONDITORIS ANNO IIII - - CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A. - - -INEDITED POETRY. - -The _first_ piece in the volume of MS. poetry referred to in my -communication in Vol. v., p. 387., may perhaps be deemed of sufficient -interest to occupy a place in your columns. It is entitled "A Ballad," -and appears to me worthy of notice from its quaintness both in style and -rhythm. - - "A BALLAD. - - "Sure glorious Modesty again will rise, - Since she can conquer in bright Marcia's eyes. - Each look of hers creates a lambent fire, - And youth and age concur her virtue to admire. - Hence flow these lines from an unpolish'd hand, - Which thinks her Marcia should the world command. - Go, lovely maid, and let each virgin see - How graceful modesty appears in thee. - That they may all thy imitators be, - And give example to posterity. - - 1. - - "View Marcia's native charms, - She's graceful in behaviour, - By wise advice she steers, - And with all the world's in favour. - No foolish talk slides from her tongue, - Her eyes ne'er wanton seem, - Regards her friends, respects the great, - And is humble to the mean. - - 2. - - "How gentle is her voice, - Not loud with foul detraction, - Good sense guides all her words, - And prudence every action. - Not stiff in dress, or careless she, - But in the graceful mean, - What e'er she wears she still appears - Like some majestic queen. - - 3. - - "Her mind and thoughts still tends [sic] - How to perform her duty; - To her parents' laws she bends, - Which adds more to her beauty. - In conduct she a matron is - With cheerful air and mein, [sic] - The steddiness of sixty years, [sic] - In look she's scarce fifteen. - - 4. - - "In friendship most sincere, - As well as in devotion, - To herself alone severe, - And guards her every motion. - Her conquering eyes give her no pride, - Her charms she will not know, - Nor meaner beautys does deride [sic], - Tho' they their envy show. - - 5. - - "How lovely is that face - Where modesty's adorning, - And Marcia with that grace - Is improving every morning. - She like the glorious sun in spring - Is encreasing every day, - For her Apollo's harp he'll string, - And the Muses sing their lay. - - 6. - - "How happy is this nymph, - Whose noble inclination, - All subtle arts contemns - And sligh made assignation: [sic] - Whose hours are spent in useful works, - Or reading tracts divine, - The young, the grave, the wise, the brave, - Pay homage at her shrine. - And so does - Her humble slave, - - "JUBA ISSHAM." - -I hope that some of your readers will be able to explain this signature, -which is to me inexplicable. - - W. SPARROW SIMPSON. - - -ON A PASSAGE IN "MEASURE FOR MEASURE," ACT I. SC. 1. - -Dr. Johnson long since observed that "there is perhaps not one of -Shakspeare's plays more darkened than this by the peculiarities of its -author, and the unskilfulness of its editors, by distortions of phrase, -or negligence of transcription." - -Under these circumstances we cannot be surprised that we are favoured -with three pages of notes on the following passage, which occurs in the -opening scene: - - "_Duke._ Escalus. - - "_Escal._ My lord. - - "_Duke._ Of government the properties to unfold, - Would seem in me to affect speech and discourse: - Since I am put to know, that your own science - Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice - My strength can give you: Then no more remains - But that to your sufficiency, as your worth is able, - And let them work." - -I must refer those who are desirous of seeing the various attempts to -extract a meaning from this passage to the Variorum Edition, and content -myself with those of the two latest editors, Mr. Collier and Mr. Knight. - -Mr. Collier says: - - "This passage is evidently corrupt, as is shown both by the metre - and the sense. The latter will be cleared by the omission of the - preposition 'to:' 'then no more remains [to be said], but that - your sufficiency, as your worth is able, and let them work.' This - change, however, will only partially cure the defective measure; - and even were we to omit 'that,' as well as 'to,' the line would - not be perfect without reducing 'sufficiency' to a trisyllable. It - has been thought best, therefore, to leave the text as it stands - in the first folio. 'Sufficiency' is adequate authority." - -Mr. Knight says: - - "We encounter at the onset one of the obscure passages for which - this play is remarkable. The text is usually printed thus: - - "'Then no more remains - But that to your sufficiency, as your worth is able, - And let them work.' - - "It is certainly difficult to extract a clear meaning from this; - and so Theobald and Hanmer assume that a line has dropped out, - which they kindly restore to us, each in his own way. The - emendation which Steevens proposes is much less forced: 'Then' - (says the Duke), 'no more remains to say, - - "'But your sufficiency as your worth is able, - And let them work.' - - "It is not our purpose to remove obscurities by additions or - omissions, and therefore we leave the passage as in the original, - excepting a slight alteration in the punctuation. We believe it - may be read thus, without much difficulty. '_Then no more remains_ - (to say on government) _But that_, (your science) _to your - sufficiency_, (joined to your authority) _as your worth_ (as well - as your virtue) _is able_ (equal to the duty), _and let them work_ - (call them into action).'" - -I cannot say that this exposition (paraphrastic as it is) is clear to -me; and I feel confident that our great poet never wrote the words "But -that," following as they do "Exceeds in that." What does "But that" -refer to? It cannot refer to "science," as Mr. Knight imagines. The -remedy lies in a very trifling correction of the press. In the MS. from -which the play was printed, the words "But thrto" were thus written, and -the compositor mistook "thr" for "tht;" there is no comma after _that_ -in the old copies. Replace "thereto" and the passage is perfectly clear -as to sense. - - "Then no more remains - But _thereto_ your sufficiency, as your worth is able, - And let them work." - -It may be necessary to show that the word I propose would be used by the -poet just in the sense required here. The following passage from the -_Winter's Tale_, Act I. Sc. 2., will, I think, place it beyond doubt: - - "Camillo, - As you are certainly a gentleman, _thereto_ - Clerk-like experienc'd, which no less adorns - Our gentry, than our parents' noble names, - In whose success we are gentle," &c. - -I take the sense of the whole passage thus: "Since I must acknowledge -that you are better skilled in the nature of _government_ than I am, it -would be idle in me to lecture you on the subject. Then nothing more is -wanting but _thereto_ your sufficient authority (_i.e._ to govern), as -you have the ability, and let them (your skill and authority) come into -operation." - -_Sufficiency_, as Warburton long ago observed, is _authority_, but may -possibly be here used in the Latin sense of _substitution_. Escalus is -to be Vice-gerent. The very slight change necessary, and the great -probability of the occurrence of the error, strongly recommend this -simple emendation. - -Daily experience is manifesting how large a portion of the difficult -passages are errors of the printer of the first folio, the two happy -corrections lately given in _The Athenæum_, for instance: who can doubt -that in _Coriolanus_, Act III. Sc. 1., "Bosome-multi_p_lied" should be -"Bissom-multitude:" or that, in _All's Well that Ends Well_, Act V. Sc. -3., "infuite comming" should be "infinite cunning?" A glance at the -passages as they stand in the old print of the first folio would -convince the most sceptical. A list of mere printer's errors in that -book would be not a little astounding. - - S. W. SINGER. - - [It may be proper to observe, that this Note by MR. SINGER had - been in the Editor's possession at least a fortnight previous to - the appearance of that by our esteemed correspondent at Leeds in - our last Number.] - - -FOLK LORE. - -_Sites of Buildings mysteriously changed._--It may be amusing to the -readers of "N. & Q.," and attended with some useful result, to record a -few popular traditions respecting the mysterious opposition to the -building of certain edifices on the spots originally designed for them -by their founders. I will introduce the subject with the local -traditions about the building of three churches well known to myself. - -1. The church of Breedon, in Leicestershire, stands alone on a high -hill, the village being at its foot. The hill is so steep on the side -towards the village, that a carriage can only ascend by taking a very -circuitous course; and even the footpath winds considerably, and in some -parts ascends by steps formed in the turf. The inconvenience of such a -situation for the church is obvious, and the stranger, of course, -wonders at the folly of those who selected a site for a church which -would necessarily preclude the aged and infirm from attending public -worship. But the initiated parishioner soon steps forward to enlighten -him on the subject, and assures him the pious founder consulted the -convenience of the village, and assigned a central spot for the site of -the church. There the foundation was dug, and there the builders began -to rear the fabric; but all they built in the course of the day was -carried away by _doves_ in the night, and skilfully built in the same -manner on the hill where the church now stands. Both founder and -workmen, awed by this extraordinary interference, agreed to finish the -edifice thus begun by doves. - -2. The parish church of Wendover, in Buckinghamshire, stands nearly half -a mile from the town. The church was to have been placed on a field -adjoining the town, and there the building of it was begun; but the -materials were all carried away in the night by witches, or, as some -relate the tradition, by fairies, and deposited where the church now -stands. The field in which the church was to have been built is still -called "Witches' Meadow." - -3. The parish church of Winwick, Lancashire, stands near that -miracle-working spot where St. Oswald, king of the Northumbrians, was -killed. The founder had destined a different site for it, but his -intention was overruled by a singular personage, whose will he never -dreamed of consulting. It must here be noticed that Winwick had then not -even received its name; the church, as not uncommon in those days, being -one of the earliest erections in the parish. The foundation of the -church, then, was laid where the founder had directed, and the close of -the first day's labour showed the workmen had not been idle, by the -progress made in the building. But the approach of night brought to pass -an event which utterly destroyed the repose of the few inhabitants -around the spot. A pig was seen running hastily to the site of the new -church; and as he ran he was heard to cry or scream aloud "We-ee-wick, -We-ee-wick, We-ee-wick!" Then, taking up a stone in his mouth, he -carried it to the spot sanctified by the death of St. Oswald, and thus -employing himself through the whole night, succeeded in removing all the -stones which had been laid by the builders. The founder, feeling himself -justly reproved for not having chosen that sacred spot for the site of -his church, unhesitatingly yielded to the wise counsel of the pig. Thus -the pig not only decided the site of the church, but gave a name to the -parish. - -In support of this tradition, there is the figure of a pig sculptured on -the tower of the church, just above the western entrance; and also the -following Latin doggerel: - - "Hic locus, Oswalde, quondam placuit tibi valde; - Northanhumbrorum fueras Rex, nuncque Polorum - Regna tenes, loco passus Marcelde vocato." - -May not the phrase "Please the pigs" have originated in the above -tradition, since the founder of Winwick Church was obliged to succumb to -the pleasure of his porkish majesty? - -Instances of equally marvellous changes in the sites of buildings are -recorded in Bede, and other monkish writers. Perhaps it would not be -difficult to unravel the mystery of such changes. - - W. H. K. - -_Burning the Bush._--While in Herefordshire last spring, I noticed a -singular custom in the agricultural districts. When the wheat is just -springing out of the ground, the farmer's servants rise before daybreak, -and cut a branch of thorn of a particular kind. They then make a large -fire in the field, in which they burn a portion of it; the remaining -part is afterwards hung up in the house. They do this to prevent the -smut, or mildew, affecting the wheat. - - J. B. ROBINSON. - - Belper. - -_Essex Superstition._--An uncle of mine, who has a large farm near -Ilford, tells me, that observing a horse-shoe nailed to the door of one -of his cow-houses, he asked the cow-keeper why he had fixed it there. -The lad gravely replied, "Why, to keep the wild-horse away, to be sure." -This is, to me, a new reason for the practice. - -I have learned that the superstition about the bees deserting their -hives on the death of one of their owner's family, is common in the same -county. A lady tells me, that calling upon some poor people who lived at -Hyde Green, near Ingatestone, she inquired after the bees. The old woman -of the house replied, "They have all gone away since the death of poor -Dick; for we forgot to knock at the hives, and tell them he was gone -dead." - - C. MANSFIELD INGLEBY. - - -OLD SONG, "NOT LONG AGO I DRANK A FULL POT." - -I send another old song; and, as in the case of the "Cuckold's Cap," I -would ask is it known? - - Not long ago I drank a full pot, - Full of sack up to the brim, - I drank to my friend, and he drank his pot, - Thus we put about the whim. - Six bottles at a draught he pour'd down his throat; - But what are such puny sips as these? - I laid me all along, with my mouth unto the bung, - And I drank up a hogshead to the lees. - - I have heard of one who drank whole tankards, - And styl'd himself the Prince of Sots; - But what are such poor puny drunkards? - Melt their tankards, break their pots. - My friend and I did join for a cellar full of wine, - We drank the vintner out of door, - We drank it ev'ry drop, one morning at the tap, - And we greedily star'd about for more. - - My friend then to me made this motion, - Don't let's part thus with dry lips; - With that we sail'd upon the ocean, - Where we met with a fleet of ships; - All laden with wine which was superfine, - The merchants they had ten thousand tun, - We drank it all at sea, before they reach'd the quay, - And the merchants swore they were all undone. - - My friend not having quench'd his thirst, - Said, to the vineyard let us haste; - There we seized the canary first, - That yielded to us but a taste: - From thence unto the Rhine, where we drank up all their wine; - Till Bacchus cried "Hold, hold! 'ere I die!" - He swore he never found, in the universe around, - Two such thirsty souls as my friend and I. - - "Pooh!" says one, "what a beast he makes himself, - He can neither stand nor go!" - "Sir," said I, "that's a grand mistake of yours, - For when did you ever know a beast drink so? - 'Tis when we drink the least, we drink the most like beasts; - 'Tis when we carouse with six in hand; - 'Tis then and only then, we drink about like men, - When we drink 'till we neither can go nor stand." - - J. R. R. - - -Minor Notes. - -_Boston and Bunker's Hill._--In the plan of Boston, among the maps of -the Useful Knowledge Society, is to be found, near Charleston, and on -Breed's Hill (the real site of the battle usually misnamed as of -Bunker's Hill), the following notice, "Defeat of the British, 1775." My -first idea was, that, _Liberal_ though the Society might be, it was -being rather too liberal to give away in this manner a victory which, -however bloody and fruitless, was indubitably ours: but, on second -thoughts, it seemed that the whole fault arose from copying too -implicitly an American map. Now I am well aware that a very large part -of the Americans, from continually vaunting (and with good reason) the -valour they displayed, and the honour they acquired, on that occasion, -have gradually worked themselves into the belief that they were the -victors, even though their own historians tell a different tale; and -they have even placed inscriptions on the monuments standing on the site -of the intrenchments from which they were forced by the British; which -inscriptions also assert a similar claim. This would be of no great -consequence had it been confined to themselves; but its being -transferred to an English publication not only tends to mislead many -persons on this side, but enables the Americans to refer with confidence -to it, as an admission of _their_ victory on the part of the British; -and no one who remembers the use they made, on the Oregon Question, of a -similarly occasioned error in one of the Society's globes, can doubt -that our Transatlantic friends would make the most of this trifling -affair in confirmation of their claims to the victory. - - J. S. WARDEN. - -_Snooks._--This name, so generally associated with vulgarity, is only a -corruption, or rather a contraction, of the more dignified name of -_Sevenoaks_. This town is generally called _Se'noaks_ in Kent; and the -further contraction, coupled with the phonetic spelling of former days, -easily passed into _S'nooks_. This is no imaginary conclusion, for I am -told by a trustworthy friend that Messrs. Sharp and Harrison, -solicitors, Southampton, have recently had in their possession a series -of deeds in which all the modes of spelling occur from _Sevenokes_ down -to _S'nokes_, in connexion with a family now known as _Snooks_. - - G. W. J. - -_Last Slave sold in England._--Can any of your correspondents tell me -the date of the last public slave sale in England? Till the -establishment of Granville Sharpe's great principle, in 1772, -announcements of these are by no means uncommon. The following, from the -_Public Ledger_ of Dec. 31, 1761, grates harshly upon the feelings of -the present generation:-- - - "FOR SALE: - - "A healthy negro girl, aged about fifteen years; speaks good - English, works at her needle, washes well, does household work, - and has had the small-pox." - - SAXONICUS. - -_Hoax on Sir Walter Scott._--The following passage occurs in one of Sir -W. Scott's letters to Southey, written in September, 1810: - - "A witty rogue, the other day, who sent me a letter subscribed - 'Detector,' proved me guilty of stealing a passage from one of - Vida's Latin poems, which I had never seen or heard of; yet there - was so strong a general resemblance as fairly to authorise - 'Detector's' suspicion." - -Lockhart remarks thereupon: - - "The lines of Vida which 'Detector' had enclosed to Scott, as the - obvious original of the address to 'Woman' in _Marmion_, closing - with-- - - "'When pain and anguish wring the brow, - A ministering angel thou!' - - "end as follows: and it must be owned that if Vida had really - written them, a more extraordinary example of casual coincidence - could never have been pointed out. - - "'Cum dolor atque supercilio gravis imminet angor, - Fungeris angelico sola ministerio.' - - "'Detector's' reference is Vida _ad Eranen_, El. ii. v. 21.; but - it is almost needless to add there are no such lines, and no - piece bearing such a title in Vida's works. 'Detector' was, no - doubt, some young college wag; for his letter has a Cambridge - post-mark." - -It may interest to know that the author of this clever hoax was Henry I. -T. Drury, then, I think, of King's College, Cambridge, and afterwards -one of the Masters at Harrow. The lines will be found in the _Arundines -Cami_. - - W. T. M. - - Hong Kong. - - - - -Queries. - - -IRISH QUERIES. - -1. O'Donovan, in his edition of the _Post-Invasion Annals of the IV. -Masters_, vol. iii. p. 2091. note, says that he "intends to publish a -review of Spenser's _View of the State of Ireland_, in which he will -give him full credit for his discernment of abuses, and expose all his -intentional figments." Query, Has this review since appeared in any -Irish periodical, or other publication? - -2. What is the relationship (or may it possibly be the _identity_?) -between Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, who married a daughter of -William, Earl Marshal, the famous Protector, during Henry III.'s -minority, and Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, who married a -daughter of King Edward I.? - -3. The inquirer will consider himself extremely indebted to any one who -will inform him of the existence of a set of Middle-Age Maps of the -countries of Europe, of 8vo. or small 4to. size, published in England, -_France_, or _Germany_, in print, or easily to be had second-hand, _more -or less accurate_. - -Koch's _Révolutions de l'Europe_, tome iii., Paris, 1814, gives seven -maps of the whole continent and its adjacent islands, at the following -periods of Middle-Age history: - - (1.) Avant l'Invasion des Barbares; - (2.) Vers la Fin du Ve Siècle; - (3.) Sous l'Empire de Charlemagne; - (4.) Vers la Fin du IXe Siecle; - (5.) Vers 1074; - (6.) Vers 1300: - (7.) A l'An 1453; - -which contain, of course, but few names of places. Were Europe divided -into five unequal parts, say, 1. The Northern Countries; 2. The British -Isles; 3. The Germanic Countries, Hungary, &c.; 4. France and Spain; 5. -Italy, Turkey, &c.; and maps of these five parts given, the Northern -Countries at three periods, the British Isles at four ditto, and the -others at seven periods, as above, we should require twenty-eight maps -(not too great a number, as the King's College _Modern Atlas_, of a -convenient size, has twenty-five), which if they contained names of -places as closely packed as the King's College _Atlas_, and laid down -from Spruner, or some other trustworthy authority, would soon, it may be -said without much foresight, be in the hands of so many readers of -history, as to answer thoroughly to any bookseller undertaking to bring -them out. - -4. A copy of O'Brien's _Irish-English Dictionary_, _first_ edition, -4to., old, half-calf, margins a little water-stained, otherwise perfect -and clean, lately priced at 25_s._, to be exchanged for a clean copy of -the edition of 1832 (inferior in value but more portable), and a clean -copy of Thady Connellan's elementary _Irish Dictionary_, published by -Wall, Temple Bar; Hatchard, and Rivingtons: or the latter will be -purchased at a moderate price, without exchange. - -Any one desiring to report the books wanted, to be so kind as to do so -in "N. & Q." - - MAC AN BHAIRD. - - -Minor Queries. - -_The Azores._--In a note in _Our Village_ (vol. v.), Miss Mitford says -that this name was given to these islands collectively, on account of -the number of hawks and falcons found on them. Is the name Spanish; and -does the Natural History of the islands at the present time confirm the -assertion? - - J. O'G. - -_Johnny Crapaud._--In one of Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe books is the -following entry of a trinket, devised at the period of the Duke of -Alençon's courting her Majesty: - - "Item, one little Flower of gold, with a _Frog_ thereon; and - therein mounseer his physnomie, and a little Pearl pendant." - - "'Query,' says Miss Strickland (_Queens_, vol. vi. p. 471., 1st - edit.), 'was this whimsical conceit a love-token, from the Duke of - Alençon to his royal _belle amie_, and the frog designed, not as a - ridiculous, but a sentimental allusion to his country?'" - -To which Query I would add another: When was the term of _Johnny -Crapaud_ first applied to the French people, and on what occasion? I am -aware of the notion of its being on account of their said partiality for -eating frogs; which, by the bye, having tasted, I can pronounce to be -very good: _mais chacun à son goût_. Is the frog introduced in the arms -of Anjou or Alençon? - - PHILIP S. KING. - -_Poems in the "Spectator."_--The fine moral poems which first appeared -in the _Spectator_, e.g. that commencing "When all thy mercies, O my -God;" the version of the Twenty-third Psalm, "The Lord my pasture shall -prepare;" "The spacious firmament on high," &c., are, as most of our -readers are aware, commonly ascribed to Addison. In a recent collection -of poetical pieces, however, I have seen them attributed to Andrew -Marvell. Can any of your readers certify either of these contradictory -assertions? - - J. G. F. - -_Old John Harries, "Bishop of Wales."_--I have "An Elegy to the Memory -of the late worthy and pious Mr. John Harries of Amleston, in -Pembrokeshire, Preacher of the Gospel;" from which it appears that, -after devoting himself to preaching for forty-six years, through both -North and South Wales, and more particularly in "Roose, Castlemartin, -Pembroke, Haverfordwest, Narberth, Woodstockslop, and Amleston," he died -at Newport on the 7th of March, 1788. Will you allow me to ask your -numerous correspondents whether any of them can assist me in tracing his -pedigree? One of his sons, a minor canon of Bristol, bore the arms of -Owen Gwynedd, viz. "vert, three eagles displayed on a fesse, or," on his -book-plate. He was often called the "Bishop of Wales," from the large -district through which he _overlooked_ the progress of the Gospel. - - I.

I.: - - "By his corporal oath, taken upon the consecrated body of Christ; - and upon _the two holy crosses_, to wit, the _cross Neytz_, and - the _Blakerode Descoce_, and other holy reliques." - - "In the priory of Lanrecost, in the diocese of Carlisle, before W. - Bp. of Lichfield and Coventry, the King's Chancellor; and in the - presence of Adomar de Valence." - -I perceive in one of your communications, there is mention of the -_English Cross, the Cross Nigth_, which in Madox is called "the Cross -Neytz." Perhaps some of your antiquarian correspondents will favour us -with some explanation of this cross. - -I should wish moreover to elicit some further particulars of _Thomas -Madox, the Historiographer Royal_, who has so well deserved of all -lovers of ancient English history by the four books in folio which he -has left us: especially his _Formulare Anglicanum_, and that work of -prodigious industry and research, his _History of the Exchequer_. There -is some account in Nichols' _Lit. Anecdotes_, but I should wish to see -some more particulars of his life and studies, and a more exact critique -upon his several works. - - J. T. A. - -_Crown Jewels once kept at Holt Castle._--I remember reading many years -since (I have forgotten both the title and the subject of the work) that -the _crown jewels_ were once deposited in Holt Castle, about five miles -from Worcester, for greater safety. Can any of your kind correspondents -inform me when and upon what turbulent occasion it was thought necessary -to forward them to the above stronghold on the banks of the Severn, and -who resided there at the time? - - J. B.

I have seen such a statement, but cannot bring to -mind the work in which it occurred. - - AMANUENSIS. - -_Frebord._--I want information on this matter, and consider "N. & Q." -peculiarly the place wherein to seek it, because it is a matter mainly -dependent on local custom. All the notice of Frebord that I have been -able to discover in books is derived from Dugdale. For instance, in -Jacob's _Law Dictionary_, ed. 1807, I read-- - - "Frebord, _Franchordus_, ground claimed in some places more or - less, beyond, or without the fence. It is said to contain two foot - and a half." - - _Mon. Ang._, tom. ii. p. 141. - -I heard, the other day, of a Warwickshire gentleman who claimed ten or -twelve feet; but the immediate reason for my Query is a claim at present -under the notice of a friend of mine is for sixty-six feet freebord! Is -not such a claim preposterous? - - P. M.

W. Derham (a _second -edition_, with additions, published in 1714), the authors, in treating -of the stature and size of man's body, says there is great reason to -think the size of man was always the same from the Creation; and in a -note at page 330., after quoting Dr. Hakewill's _Apolog._ and other -authorities, concludes with these words:-- - - "Nay, besides all this probable, we have some more certain - evidence. Augustus was five foot nine inches high, which was the - just measure of our famous Queen Elizabeth, who exceeded his - height two inches, if proper allowance be made for the difference - between the Roman and our foot."--Vide Hakewill, _Apolog._, p. - 215. - -Probably some of your learned correspondents may give additional -information on this interesting subject. - - J.

V. - -_All-fours._--In Macaulay's essay on Southey's edition of _The Pilgrim's -Progress_ (Longman & Co., p. 184.) occurs a curious use of this -expression: - - "The types are often inconsistent with each other; and sometimes - the allegorical disguise is altogether thrown off.... It is not - easy to make a simile go on all-fours. But we believe that no - human ingenuity could produce such a centipede as a long allegory - in which the correspondence between the outward sign and the thing - signified should be exactly preserved. Certainly no writer ancient - or modern has achieved the adventure." - -This meaning I cannot find in Bailey's _Dictionary_, and it has escaped -the curious vigilance of Blakie's compilers. The saying, however, is a -very old one. Sir Edward Coke employs it (_Coke upon Littleton_, lib. i. -c. 1. sect. 1. p. 3. _a._): - - "But no simile holds in everything; according to the ancient - saying, _Nullum simile quatuor pedibus currit_." - -There is a marginal reference here to 1 Hen. VII. 16. - -Perhaps some of your philological correspondents can throw some light on -the origin of the phrase, or at least give me some other examples of its -use. Is the expression "To be on all-fours with" good English? - - C. MANSFIELD INGLEBY. - -_Richard, second Son of the Conqueror_, is said by Hume, and by some -minor writers after him, to have been killed by a stag in the New -Forest; but William of Malmesbury and Roger of Wendover both say that he -died of fever, consequent on malaria, which struck him while hunting -there. This is well known to be of frequent occurrence in the -neighbourhood of desolated human dwellings; and thus seems to involve -even a more striking instance of retributive justice than the fate which -Hume assigns to him. The fatality attending most of this name in our -history is singular. Of nine princes (three of them kings) who have -borne the name of Richard, seven, or, if Hume is right, eight, have died -violent deaths, including four successive generations of the House of -York. - - J.

At the open window of a house on one side stands a man looking at the -corresponding window of the house on the opposite side; that is, he -looks at what was a window, but is now filled up with a large board that -is covered with an inscription of short lines, black on white; in short, -just such a board as one sees at a turnpike gate. - -3. From shortness, or defect, of sight (I cannot say which), the man is -unable to read the inscription as he stands at his window. - -4. He sits down on a low seat, so as to bring his eye almost close to, -and just on a level with, the sill of his own window. He then slowly -raises and depresses his head. As he does this, it of course appears to -him as if his own window-sill travelled up and down the board opposite. - -5. In doing so it comes successively under each line of the inscription. - -6. As it does so, that one line becomes perfectly legible. - - N.

"What an Abram!" an exclamation for - a ragged fellow.

It -was as follows: - -The custodians (whether rightful or not, I know not, as no date was -assigned to the action of the narrative) of the Scottish regalia being -bound by an oath to deliver it to the Governor of Carlisle, as the -nearest representative of the English sovereign, by a certain day, -determined upon a plan for performing (!), and at the same time evading, -their promise. Having selected the most able steed in Scotland, a -suitable deputation escorted the regalia _and the horse_ to the -appointed place of tradition. The embassy carrying with them the more -valuable and portable of their treasures--the jewels, not the horse, of -which hereafter,--were duly admitted to an audience with the governor, -who received them in the presence of the principal inhabitants of -Carlisle: and having produced and surrendered the regalia (and doubtless -taken an acquittance!), surreptitiously, and with gipsey adroitness, -regained possession of it, and conveying it from the audience chamber, -immediately delivered it to an expectant messenger; who, mounted on the -before-mentioned horse, awaited its return outside the hall; and who, -_ventre à terre_, pursued his eager flight across the border, nor once -drew rein until his precious burden was again deposited in the custody -of Scottish tenure. Whether the deputation was dismissed, and escaped -before the discovery of its chicanery, or whether the conspirators -received the well-merited punishment of their audacious dissimulation, -my informant knew not. And although the story tells more in favour of -the astuteness than the honesty of his countrymen (if true), he -narrated it with considerable unction, and declared that it was -generally believed and admired in Scotland; the patriotism displayed, -the dangerous nature of the enterprise, and the success which attended -it, palliating any stigma which might attach to the want of faith, -double dealing, and casuistry which marked the transaction. - -The method by which the horse's title to be considered the ablest in -Scotland was ascertained, was ingenious. The horses the most renowned -for fleetness and endurance were secretly collected, and having been -deprived of water for a considerable time, were presently, one by one, -permitted to bury their heads in the grateful bucket, and the duration -of each draught was scrupulously watched and recorded; the animal that -retained its nostrils for the longest time immersed being selected for -the honour of rescuing the royal treasure, as having given proofs of its -superior wind and bottom. - -Is any credit to be attached to the story: and if historical, can any -reader inform me where it is recorded? - - C. A. - - St. John's Wood. - - -GOSPEL OAKS. - -(Vol. v., pp. 157. 209.) - -The replies of FABER, EXON., and P. T. to the inquiry of STEPHEN, -concerning the origin of Gospel Oaks, are not very explanatory. - -The oak was consecrated to the god of thunder--Ang.-Sax., _Thunor_; -Gallic, _Taranis_; Irish, _Toran_; Anc. N. _Thorr_--as being more -generally struck by lightning than any other tree; and the acorn was -called by the Romans _Jovis glans_, the fruit of the supreme god. - - "Quercus Jovi placuit."--_Phædrus_, III. 17. - - "Magna Jovis antiquo robore quercus."--Virg. _Georg._ III. 332. - -At Dodona stood the [Greek: drys hypsikomos Dios].--_Od._ XIV. 327. - -Woods, groves, and trees were the temples and sacred emblems of the -Deity among the greater part of the Pagans, but especially among the -Teutonic and Celtic tribes. Maximus Tyrius, an author of the second -century, informs us, concerning the worship of the Celts: - - [Greek: Keltoi sebousi men Dia, agalma de Dios Keltikon hypsêlê - drys.] - -And Tacitus gives us the oldest testimonies concerning the Germans, -_Germ._ 9.: - - "Ceterum, nec cohibere parietibus Deos, neque in ullam humani oris - speciem assimulare, ex magnitudine coelestium arbitrantur. _Lucos - ac nemora consecrant_, Deorumque nominibus appellant secretum - illud, quod sola reverentia vident." - - Vid. _Germ._ 39. cap. 40. cap. 43., &c. - -Also, a passage of the later Claudian is to the same purpose: - - Ut procul Hercyniæ per vasta silentia silvæ - Venari tuto liceat, lucosque vetusta - Religione truces, et _robora Numinis instar - Barbarici_, nostræ feriant impune bipennes. - - _Cons. Stilich._ I. 288. - -From these passages it will be seen that the gods dwelt in these groves, -and that sacred vessels and altars were placed there, but no images; -neither were temples erected.[2] The practice of worshipping the gods in -woods and trees continued for many centuries, till the introduction of -Christianity (Vid. Willibald, A.D. 786, _in Vita Bonifacii_), and the -converters did not disdain to adopt every means to raise Christian -cultus to higher authority than that of Paganism, by acting upon the -senses of the heathen, _e.g._ using white robes for those baptized, -lighting of candles, burning of incense, &c.; and they erected the -Christian churches, for the most part, upon the site of Pagan _tree_ or -temple; Sulp. _Severus_ (ed. Amst. 1665), p. 485.: - - "Nam ubi fana destruxerat (Martinus), _statim ibi aut ecclesias - aut monasteria construebat_." - -Dietm. _V. Merseb._, 7. 52., p. 859.: - - "Fana idolorum destruens incendit, et mare dæmonibus cultum - inmissis quatuor lapidibus, sacro Chrismate perunctis et aqua - purgans benedicta, novam Domino ... plantationem eduxit." - - [Footnote 2: Brissonius _De Regno Pers._ II. 28.: "Persæ diis suis - nulla templa vel altaria constituunt, nulla simulacra."] - -The heathen gods were represented as impotent, in opposition to the true -God, though not as powerless in themselves, and were converted into -inimical evil powers, which must submit, but could nevertheless exercise -a certain hurtful influence. - -Some heathen traditions and superstitions remained, their names only -being altered into those of Christ, Maria, and the saints. In this -manner they spared the assuefactions of the people, and made them -believe that the sacredness of the place was not lost, but henceforth -depended on the presence of the true God. - -The above facts will perhaps sufficiently explain the origin of the -Gospel Oak. - - PROFESSOR THEODORE GOEDES. - - Hampden House, Reading. - -There is a tree called by this name a few miles from Winchester, in the -parish of Tichborne or Cheriton,--I _think_ the latter, but have no -means of ascertaining at the present moment. Mention of it is made in -Duthy's _Sketches of Hampshire_. - - L. G. - - -MITIGATION OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT TO A FORGER. - -(Vol. iv., p. 434.) - -The case related by MR. GATTY is interesting, but requires sifting. -Perhaps he will be good enough to do it, or to put me on the trail. As -the energetic sister may be a reader of "N. & Q.," I do not wish to -annoy her by printing the forger's name, but I shall be glad to have the -place and date of the conviction. - -About twenty years ago, the rule of hanging for forgery was broken in -the case of Fry, a school-master, who was sentenced to death without any -hope of mercy, and not reprieved till he had heard the "condemned -sermon"--I think, not till the day before that which was fixed for his -execution. He showed great fear; rolled upon the chapel floor, and -delivered to the sheriffs a well-written protest against the right to -inflict capital punishment. His being spared caused much surprise; and -between that event and the abolition of the punishment of death for -forgery, few, if any, were executed for that crime. - -The sister, falling, at the feet of Baron G----, who "was notorious for -his unflinching obduracy," is a melo-dramatic event which, I think, -would have found its way to the newspapers. But the most extraordinary -thing is the conclusion: - - "The forger was placed in the hulks prior to transportation; and - before this took place he had forged a pass or order from the Home - Secretary's office for his own liberation, which procured his - release, and he was never afterwards heard of." - -Letters to convicts in the hulks are opened by the officers before being -delivered to the prisoners. It is not usual for the Home Secretary to -write to a convict enclosing "a pass or order." On the contrary, a -pardon is attended with a good number of formalities, and without one I -do not think that any convict would have been allowed to quit the -vessel. In that class of prisoners, leave of absence on parole, or a -"day rule," would have been something peculiar enough to make the -turnkey ask, "Where did you get this?" In short, a convict who made his -escape as described must be as extraordinary a person as the strong -American, who could sit in a basket and lift himself upon a table by the -handles. - - "She returned to the city at which the assizes had been held just - as they were concluded. The two judges were in the act of - descending the cathedral nave, after partaking of the Holy - Sacrament, when," &c. - -It is usual for the judges to attend divine service on the -commission-day if they arrive soon enough, or the day after if they do -not. If a Sunday occur during the sitting of the commission, they also -attend; but I never knew, and on inquiring I cannot hear, that they ever -so attended at the close of the assizes, when they are always glad to -get on to the next town, if the circuit is not concluded, and away -altogether if it is. - - H. B. C. - - U. U. Club. - - -LORDS MARCHERS OF WALES. - -(Vol. v., pp. 30. 135. 189.) - -Allow me to call upon your correspondent I. J. H. H., who dates from St. -Asaph, to explain what he means by a Lordship Marcher; and what proof he -possesses that his friend Mr. Lloyd is the "only Lord Marcher now extant -in the kingdom?" The most authentic single record which we possess of -the number, names, and situation of these lordships is the statute 27 -Hen. VIII. ch. 26. The writs issued to the Lords Marchers, at various -times before that statute, would perhaps furnish materials for a more -exact enumeration of them; but the above Act was unquestionably intended -to include all of them; and the only reason why the information conveyed -by it is not complete is, that some of the names specified in it may -perhaps be those of townships, or other districts within, or parcel of, -some Lordship Marcher, and that other lordships seem to be comprehended -under a general description, such as "all lordships lying between -Chepstow Bridge and Gloucestershire." Hence, the number of real -Lordships Marchers may, _perhaps_, be fewer or more than are there -mentioned. Herbert, in his _History of Henry VIII._, says that there -were 141 Lordships Marchers. (Kennett's _Compl. Hist._, vol. ii. p. -189.) - -The lordship of Kemes is not, I think, specified in the Act; but I -presume that it is comprehended within some of the descriptions of -lordships in it. Probably it is included in sect. 16. In old writs of -summons to attend the King in his wars, Kemes is associated with Dyvett -or with Llandovery. - -The statute referred to did, in fact, extinguish the most characteristic -privileges of a Lordship Marcher, and reduced it nearly to the level of -an ordinary lordship, with such royalties only as have often been -granted, and are still enjoyed, by Lords of Manors, or honours in other -parts of England and Wales. The franchises left to them are enumerated -in sections 25. and 30., explained by the later statute 1 & 2 Phil. & -Mary, ch. 15. The palatine jurisdiction which they once possessed, and -the exemption from ordinary process, exist no longer; and the various -local customs prevailing in each lordship, which were repugnant to the -common law of England, must have been almost wholly abolished by the -operation of that Act. The lordships themselves remain in name, and in -little more than in name. - -Hence I am afraid that I. J. H. H.'s friend must be prepared to -surrender the distinction of being the sole surviving Lord Marcher. In -the strict and original sense of the term, there is now no such lordship -in existence. In the sense in which alone the title can now be assumed, -he shares the honour with many others; among others, with the Duke of -Beaufort, who holds the very extensive and important Marcher Seignory of -Gower and Kilvey. - -Probably the number of private lordships of this kind is not now great; -for, at the passing of the above statute, the majority were in the -Crown; and if any have since been re-granted, it is most likely that -their franchises and tenure would be so modified as to leave no vestige -of the Marcher privileges in them. - -The statement of your correspondent suggests to me another doubt. How -could any Lordship Marcher be "erected by Martin of Tours?" Every such -lordship must be of the creation of the Crown, either shown or presumed. -The date of the establishment of these marcherships is so ancient that, -perhaps, no one may have actually seen any document to prove them but -charters of confirmation and inquisitions post-mortem; still the _law_ -refers their origin to specific Crown grants, and not to the act or -authority of a mere subject. If, therefore, Martin, who was a tenant in -capite of the Crown, founded the lordship of Kemes, he must have -done--as the military invaders of Ireland in a subsequent reign -did--conquered the territory with his own arms, and obtained palatine -jurisdiction over it, with the assent and by the authority of the King. - -Let me add, that the MS. treatise in the Harleian Collection (referred -to _ante_, p. 135.) is printed in Pennant's _Wales_, and, more -correctly, in vol. ii. of the _Transactions of the Cymmrodorion -Society_. It is much to be lamented that the treatise on the Lordships -Marchers, bequeathed by Sir Matthew Hale to the Society of Lincoln's -Inn, is not to be found in that library. If the work was composed by -that eminent judge himself, it must be one of the highest value and -authority. Does any one possess it, or a copy of it? - - E.

I shall endeavour as briefly as -possible to do justice to this important subject by giving extracts -from, and references to, various authors, especially Hody in his work -_The Resurrection of the (Same) Body Asserted from the Traditions of the -Heathens, &c._ The arguments derived from this source are as follow:-- - -1.

"That others have done so even after death upon a re-union of their -souls and bodies." (H.)

CHETHAM. - - -CAN A CLERGYMAN MARRY HIMSELF? - -(Vol. v., p. 370.) - -A Query has been put respecting a clergyman marrying himself. Such a -thing did once occur in the case of the Rev. J. D. T. M. F----g, curate -of the parish of S----n M----t, Somersetshire. The parish register -informs us that-- - - "On three several Sundays, namely, on the 22nd and 29th days of - July, and the 5th August in the year 1787, banns of marriage were - published in the parish church between J. D. T. M. F----g and H. - V. B----t; and after the third publication, no impediment being - alleged, the said J. D. T. M. F----g and H. V. B----t were - _immediately_ married in the face of the congregation, on the 5th - of August, 1787, by J----n F----g curate." - -The parties' names are appended to the form "This marriage was -solemnised between us;" and then follows, "in the presence of" two -witnesses who signed their names, one of them being the "clark," as he -spelt the word. The event occurred "on a Sacrament Sunday." An aged -parishioner, who was about seventy-four or seventy-five years of age -when my informant wrote, perfectly remembered the ceremony; and added, -that previously to Mr. F.'s return from the Lord's Table to the reading -desk, in order to continue the service, from the Second Lesson, he -exchanged a kiss with his blushing bride! It appears that, owing to -several persons having disputed the _validity_ of this marriage, the -said parties were re-married by the Rev. W. N----s, officiating -minister, on the 9th October in the same year. - -I have heard that Mr. F. was always regarded as an eccentric man, if not -deranged. I think I have heard that the bride was a milk girl, with whom -the reverend gentleman fell in love because "she reminded him of his -first love!" The marriage was decidedly opposed by his relatives and -friends, which led to the above-mentioned singular occurrence. I -believe, before performing the ceremony himself, Mr. F. publicly -inquired "whether there was any one provided to marry him?" As there was -not, he proceeded to the performance of the ceremony himself. - -I have heard also of some such case of a clergyman marrying himself in -Ireland. But the marriage was, I believe, pronounced null and void, and -the clergyman deposed from the ministry. - -Connected with this subject, I would relate another circumstance related -to me as a fact by a clergyman, now a surrogate, who for very many years -was curate of the parish adjoining that in which it occurred. He related -it to justify and to explain his own somewhat unusual practice of using -the _surnames_ as well as Christian names of the parties throughout the -Marriage Service, saying that in the parish of B----y, Gloucestershire, -the not doing so led to the _wrong couple being married_, owing to the -stupidity of the parties and their friends! The rector, Rev. Mr. M----d, -on discovering the mistake, formally pronounced the whole proceeding -null and void, and then married the right couple! - -A correspondent lately inquired whether a person could be buried in a -garden! In N----h, Gloucestershire, such a thing occurred about sixteen -years ago. An eccentric old gentleman built a kind of summer-house in -his garden, and prepared his own tomb in it, and was there buried -according to his directions. I rather think the funeral service was -read, under the express sanction of the bishop, by the rector of an -adjoining parish, who was a friend of the deceased. - - E. W. D. - - -Replies to Minor Queries. - -_Algernon Sydney_ (Vol. v., pp. 318. 426.).--I can hardly suppose that -MR. H. DIXON can have made any progress in his inquiries as to Algernon -Sydney, without having met with the "authorities" mentioned by your -correspondent C. E. D.; and yet it is certainly strange that, if MR. -DIXON had seen these authorities, he could have called Sydney "an -_illustrious patriot_." It may be therefore as well to state that the -specific evidence which destroys Sydney's claim to the title not merely -of an "_illustrious patriot_," but even of _an honest man_, and shows -him to have been a corrupt traitor of the worst class, is to be found in -the Appendix to Sir John Dalrymple's _Memoirs_, vol. i. pp. 339. 386. -(8vo edit. 1790), where are transcribed the secret despatches of the -French ambassador, Barillon, to Louis XIV., detailing the _bribes_ by -which he engaged Algernon Sydney to that factious and traitorous -opposition which had, for a hundred years prior to Dalrymple's -publication, passed off for _patriotism_. I shall be very curious indeed -to see what light MR. H. DIXON may be able to throw on this curious and -infamous case; of which the best that even Mr. Macaulay can say is, that -Barillon's _louis d'ors_ were "a temptation which conquered the virtue -and the pride of Algernon Sydney."--_History of England_, vol. i. p. -228. - - C. - -_Cock-and-Bull Stories_ (Vol. v., p. 414.).--It may be doubted whether -Mr. Faber will thank J. R. R. for republishing his absurd blunder. It -must not, however, be allowed to gain a settlement in "N. & Q.," or to -pass for a real explanation, while it is in reality one of the most -unfortunate "cock-and-bull" stories that ever was invented. The truth -is, that Reinerius, a writer of the Middle Ages, lays it to the charge -of the Waldenses that they did not hold the traditions of the Church -and, by way of instance, he specifies that they did _not_ believe (as, -he took for granted, all his orthodox readers _did_) that the cock on -the church steeple was symbolical of a doctor or teacher. Reinerius did -not think of adding a word of explanation about its overlooking the -parish from its elevated position, or of its prescriptive right from the -days of St. Peter to do a pastor's office by reminding men of the duty -of repentance, or of any of the things which writers on symbolism had -said, or might say. He nakedly states, "Item, mysticum sensum in divinis -scripturis refutant: præcipue in dictis et actis ab Ecclesia traditis: -ut quod gallus super campanile significat Doctorem." Mr. Faber, who was -somewhat out of his way in dealing with the thoughts and language of -mediæval writers, catching a sight of this passage, blundered between a -_bell_ and a _belfry_, put _campanum_ for _campanile_, and thus got an -idea of a "cock-on-a-bell," and that this symbol meant a doctor. -Whereupon it occurred to him to set the world right with the wonderful -discovery which J. R. R. has revived for the amusement of your readers. - - S. R. MAITLAND. - -_Thomas Crawford_ (Vol. v., p. 344.).--In the seventeenth century there -were four professors of philosophy in every university in Scotland. -Thomas Crawford was one of the professors in the University of Edinburgh -from 1640 to 1662. - -Thomas Crawford, educated at St. Leonard's College, St. Andrew's, -graduated A.M. 1621. Succeeded Mr. Samuel Rutherford as Professor of -Humanity in the University of Edinburgh, 1625. Appointed Rector of the -High School of Edinburgh in 1630. Elected Professor of Philosophy (or -Regent) in the University of Edinburgh, 1640, and continued in that -office till his death, in 1662. - -He was the author of _A Short History of the University of Edinburgh, -from 1582 to 1646_, first printed in 1808; and of _Notes and -Observations on G. Buchanan's History of Scotland_: Edinb. 1708, 8vo. -pp. 187. - -Both these posthumous publications are very meagre. - - J. L. - - Coll.

J. BERNHARD SMITH. - - Temple. - -_Theological Tract--The Huntyng of the Romish Fox_ (Vol. iii., p. -61.).--Perhaps the following tract is one of those about which S. G. -inquires: - - "The Huntyng and Fyndyng out of the Romish Fox: whiche more than - seven yeares hath bene hyd among the Byshoppes of England, after - that the Kynges Hyghnes Henry VIII. had commanded hym to be dryven - out of hys Realme. Written by Wyllyam Turner, Doctour of Physicke, - and formerly Fellow of Pembroke College in Cambridge. Basyl, - 1543." - -This tract has just been reprinted, with some curtailments and -amendments, and with a short memoir of the author prefixed, by my -friend, Robert Potts, Esq., M.A. Trin. Coll., Cam.; and was published by -J. W. Parker, London. The copy from which this reprint has been made is -in the library of Trinity College. - - W. SPARROW SIMPSON, B.A. - -_Moke_ (Vol. v., p. 374).--With the Editor of "N. & Q." I think the -interpretation of "muck" for the old word used by Wyckliffe is "not -satisfactory:" I therefore suggest another, perhaps equally -questionable. Every rustic in grazing districts knows, that in the hot -season of the year sheep are liable to be fearfully flyblown in their -living flesh; and that the maggots thence resulting are called _mokes_, -or mawks. Is not the preacher's allusion in the text to certain -shepherds, or rather sheep of Christ's flock, who, rather than give one -of their _mokes_ to help one of their "needy brethren," will allow -themselves to "perish" and "be taken of" these maggots? The term in -question is, or was formerly, in provincial use as a metonym for -lendiculosity in a figurative sense--a tetchy, whimsical individual, -being said to be "maggoty," _vulgo_, _mokey_. Lendix has not, however, -in all cases been treated with abhorrence; for one of the elder Wesleys -not only printed a book of rhymes with the title of _Maggots_, but -prefixed to it his portrait, with one of these _animi impetu concitari_ -represented as creeping on the forehead! - - D. - -_Ground Ice_ (Vol. v., p. 370.).--J.

M., that this nobleman was Richard -Boyle, third Earl of Burlington, and fourth Earl of Cork, who had a -passion for architecture, and was the architect of numerous buildings in -the metropolis and other parts of the kingdom. He repaired Inigo Jones's -church of St. Paul, Covent Garden. He built the front of Burlington -House in Piccadilly; the dormitory at Westminster School; the Assembly -Rooms at York; and several villas and mansions in various parts of the -country, besides publishing some architectural works. Bishop Berkeley -was introduced to him by Pope about the year 1722, and I believe derived -some benefit from his patronage. His architectural pursuits are alluded -to by Pope in the epistle on the use of riches, which was addressed to -him. - - G. R.

N. - -_The Iron Plate in Lewes Castle_ (Vol. v., p. 342.).--In answer to A. W. -I beg to say that the iron plate was taken from the ruins of a cottage -which was burnt down on the estate of Sir Henry Shiffner some time -since; it formed the fire-back of the kitchen: the inscription was -turned to the wall, and therefore not visible. - -This inscription is a fac-simile of the iron plate placed to the memory -of Ann Forster in the church of Crowhurst in Surrey, and it would appear -that the founder cast several plates similar to that in Lewes Castle, -which are known to exist and be used as fire-backs. See Brayley and -Britton's _History of Surrey_, vol. iv. p. 131., and note at foot of the -same page. - - WILLIAM FIGG. - - Lewes. - -The monumental (cast iron?) plate in Lewes castle, referred to by A. W., -probably came from the church of Crowhurst in Surrey, where there are -several monuments to members of the family of Gaynsford, and there were -(in Sept. 1847, when I visited the building) more than one iron plate in -the pavement with inscriptions of the exact character of that at Lewes, -and with the letters similarly inverted and reversed. My impression is -that I saw the memorial in question in the church; but I cannot now -discover the notes I made on the subject at the time, nor a rubbing -which I took of another iron plate of a more ornate though not less rude -character. I remember, in passing within sight of the church on the -Dover Railway, since 1847, to have noticed scaffolding about the tower; -possibly the plate now at Lewes may have been removed at that time. - - R. C. H. - -The plate was presented to the Antiquarian Museum in Lewes Castle by Sir -H. Shiffner, Bart., about two years ago, when he rescued it from a -farm-house burnt down on his property near Lewes. It has been traced to -a cottage where it previously served the same purpose as at the -farm-house, as back to the fire-place; but no further record of its -former history can be discovered. It is not unusual, however, to find -monumental plates thus desecrated. - - E. A. S. - -_Chelwoldesbury_ (Vol. v., p. 346.).--Allow me to suggest to your -correspondent W. H. K. the possibility that the name in question may -originally have been Ceolwoldsburh or Ceolweardesburh, i.e. _the burgh_ -or _castle of Ceolwold_ or _Ceolweard_, analogously with Brihthelmstûn, -now contracted into _Brighton_. The A.-S. _ce_ has constantly been -corrupted into _che_. - - D. - -"_The King's Booke_" (Vol. v., p. 389.).--The printer's account supplied -by MR.

G. - -_Key Experiments_ (Vol v., pp. 152. 293.).--In an edition of _Hudibras_ -of 1704 appears the following "annotation" to the line "As Friar Bacon's -noddle was:"-- - - "The tradition of Friar Bacon and the Brazen-head is very commonly - known, and considering the times he lived in, is not much more - strange than what another great philosopher of his name has since - deliver'd of a ring that, being ty'd in a string, and held like a - pendulum in the middle of a silver bowl, will vibrate of itself, - and tell exactly against the sides of the divining-cup the same - thing with, Time is, Time was, &c." - -I have tried this experiment with the ring, and find the oscillation -takes place as described by AGMOND with the shilling. If, however, the -thread is tightly pressed between the finger and thumb, the vibration -ceases. This latter circumstance appears to support AGMOND'S idea, that -the motive power is due to the pulse, the circulation of the blood -ceasing by pressure. - - C. N.

It is a -common saying in Devonshire "please the _pixies_," or _fairies_, and -this reference is much more likely; as our ancestors were most -particular in their superstitious attentions to the requirements of this -most mischievous fraternity. - - C. R. - -_The Word Shunt_ (Vol. v., p. 352.) is quite common in the North of -England; in Lancashire it is perhaps especially so. It signifies to -shift, to move, to give way: as, speaking of a thing, a wall or -foundation, which has moved from its position, we should say, "it has -shunted;" or of a thing which requires moving, "Shunt it a little that -way," "Shunt it at the other end." _Shunt_, to move, to slip, to give -way; _shuntu_, they move; _shuntut_, they moved.--See Bamford's -_Lancashire Dialect_: Smith, Soho Square. - -The word _grin_, in the same county, signifies a noose to catch hares or -other game, as well as the act of grinning with the teeth. The word -_gin_ is seldom used, except to express a horse gin-wheel, or the -_blue-ruin_ of the Pandemoniums. - - P. D. - -_Plato's Lines in "Antho.

As this play appears from -Pepys's _Diary_ to have been a great favourite after the Restoration, it -was then most probably that the term came into use. - - J. S. WARDEN. - -_Nuremberg Token, or Counter_ (Vol. v., pp. 201. 260.).--G. H. K. -appears to consider the object of H. C. K.'s Query a tradesman's token. -This is by no means the case. It is a jetton, or counter, such as was -formerly much in use for casting accounts, on a principle very similar -to that of the abacus. They are found in vast numbers in England, but -were principally manufactured at Nuremberg, where a large trade in them -must have been carried on. The greatest manufacturers of the -"Rechenpfennige" were the members of the families of Schultz, Laufer, -and Krauwinckel. Of the three Krauwinckels, the productions of Hans are -most numerous. Many of them have legends of a moral or religious -character, as "Gottes Segen macht reich," God's blessing maketh rich; -"Gott allein die Ehre sey," To God alone be the glory; "Heut rodt, -Morgen todt," To-day _red_, to-morrow dead, &c. The date 1601 occurs on -several of those of Hans K., with mythological devices.--See Snelling's -_Treatise on Jettons, or Counters_. - - J.

(See "Inquisition, 21 -Henry VIII." in Wells's _Hist. of Bedford Level_, vol. ii. pp. 8-17.) -Lode means to carry. (_Promptorium Parvulorum_, ed. Way, p. 310.)

Another -noticeable circumstance is that most of the figures are of older date -than the tombs on which they lie, or than the church which contains -them. The building consists of a nave and south aisle; and, at the time -of its original construction, three canopied recessed tombs were -introduced in each of the side walls to receive the effigies which must -have existed in the older church. The style of the architecture belongs -to the age of Edward III. There are nine figures altogether, some of -them greatly mutilated. They are not entirely unknown to archæologists. - -I may take this opportunity of calling attention to another very fine -monumental effigy, of which I believe no moderately good representation -has been published, at Tilton in Leicestershire. There are two figures -in the church of as early dates as those at Aldworth, one an armed male, -and the other a female. The former is in "edgering" mail, and is of good -character; but the latter is of superior design, and very well executed, -though unfortunately in a coarse material. The right arm is bent, and -the hand brought up to the breast; the left hangs naturally by the side, -and has the fore-arm and (bare) hand exposed from among the folds of the -drapery. Slight traces of colour are discoverable. - - R. C. H. - -The village of Aldworth, in Berkshire, where the effigies of the De la -Beche family are to be seen, is about five miles from the Goring -Station, on the Great Western Railway, _viâ_ Streatley. Hewett's -_Hundred of Compton_ furnishes a very interesting account of the ten -monumental effigies which represent various members of the ancient -family of De la Beche in that church, and will be read with no small -pleasure. - - FRANCIS POCOCK. - - Stanford. - -_Coke and Cowper_ (Vol. iv., pp. 24. 76. 93. 244. 300.).--However -affected it may appear, these words have been more generally pronounced -_Cook_ and _Cooper_. - -J. H. L. (Vol. iv., p. 76.) adduces the instance of _Cowper_ being made -to rhime to _Trooper_. And I have just stumbled upon a passage in -_Cowley_ where _Coke_ is the answering word to _Took_. - - "May he - Be by his father in his study _took_ - At Shakspear's plays instead of my Lord _Coke_." - - "Sylva; a Poetical Revenge," p. 44., _Works_, Part II., London, - 1700, fol. - - RT. - - Warmington. - -_Monumental Portraits_ (Vol. v., p. 349.).--Fully agreeing with my -friend H. H. in his opinion of the brass of the Abbess of Elstow, -considered as a portrait, I should yet be glad if your correspondents -would send to "N. & Q." the names of any effigies which may appear to -them exceptions to the rule of conventional portraiture, especially if -of earlier date than the latter half of the sixteenth century. H. H. has -mentioned one, Nicholas Canteys, 1431, at Margate: and I am inclined to -add another in the well-executed little brass of Robert de Brentingham -at East Horsley, Surrey; this is about the date of 1380. The artists of -that time, in brasses as well as in painted glass, wood-carving, &c., -may have sometimes desired to produce a portrait, but certainly they -seldom succeeded: a religious severity of expression atoned for the -deficiency. In English coins it is well known that there is no -appearance of a portrait before the reign of Henry VII. - -The particular _costume_, however, of the deceased was more attended to -in monumental effigies; and it is this fact which renders the study of -them so serviceable towards a knowledge of the manners and habits of our -ancestors. Care was even taken not to omit any peculiarity which may -have distinguished the deceased; of which the long beard of Sir Wm. -Tendring, at Stoke, by Layland, is perhaps an instance, and many others -might be quoted. If any decided portraits are known in _stone effigies_, -it would I think be desirable to communicate such to the pages of "N. & -Q." - - C. R. M. - -_Motto on Chimney-piece_ (Vol. v., p. 345.)--It does not appear to me -that the mottoes sent by your inquirer C. T. are very difficult to -solve. The first is Latin: - - "VITATRANOVULAESTOLIM." - -He says he is not certain as to one or two letters. I suspect the first -O should be Q, and the V should be I. It will then read: - - "Vita tranquila est olim." - - "Life is henceforth tranquil." - -A very proper motto for a fire-side. - -The second is Italian: - - "VE DAL AM DARO." - -I suspect the R should be T. It will then read: - - "Ve da'l amico dato." - - "Given to you by the friend." - -If the word is _daro_, it will be-- - - "I will give it to you from the friend." - - JAMES EDMESTON. - - Homerton. - -The arms given by your correspondent C. T. are those of Cavendish -(quartering Clifford), one of that family having been created Earl of -Newcastle in 1610. Becoming shortly after extinct, John Holles, Earl of -Clare (who had married the heiress of Cavendish), was created by King -William III. in 1694 Marquis of Clare and Duke of Newcastle. - -Might not the chimney-piece have adorned a mansion of the Cavendish -family, who probably resided in Newcastle during the period above -alluded to? - -The motto underneath (which is _not_ the family motto of Cavendish) -certainly at first sight looks puzzling enough; will the following -solution suffice, which I merely throw out as a first thought that may -lead to a better elucidation? - - "Vita: tran: ovula: est: olim." - -Presuming "ovula" to be the diminutive of _ovum_ (I am not sure if I am -correct), and "tran" (if correctly transcribed) to be a component part -of one of the numerous compounds of _trans_ (say _transitorius_), may -not the passage be _freely_ translated: "(Our) transitory life (was) -once (as mysterious, or hidden, or minute as) is (the germ of vitality) -in an egg?" - -If C. T. could give a description of the second coat, some connecting -link may possibly be supplied toward unravelling the motto. - - HENRY W. S. TAYLOR. - - Southampton. - -"_Ve dâl am daro_" (Vol. v., p. 325.).--One of the mottoes which puzzle -your correspondent C. T. is Welsh, and means that _retribution will -follow violence_: "he will pay (_i.e._ suffer) for striking." - - [Greek: S.] - -_White-livered_ (Vol. v., pp. 127. 403.).--Bishop Ridley, in his -conference with Bishop Latimer, whilst they were confined in the Tower, -makes use of the expression: "For surely, except the Lord assist me with -His gracious aid in the time of His service, I know I shall play but the -part of a _white-livered knight_." - - CARL. - -_Enigmatical Epitaphs_ (Vol. v., p. 179.).--The brasses of John -Killyngworth, 1412, formerly in Eddlesborough Church, now in Pitson -Church, Bucks; and of a priest at St. Peter's, near St. Alban's, have -this inscription upon them: - - "Ecce quod expendi habui, quod donavi habeo, quod negavi punior, - quod servavi perdidi." - -That at St. Alban's has an English translation: - - "Lo, all that ever I spent, that sometime had I; - All that I gave in good intent, that now have I; - That I never gave, nor lent, that now aby[3] I; - That I kept till I went, that lost I." - - [Footnote 3: So in my authority.] - -The same inscription is on a brass as late as 1584, at St. Olave's, Hart -Street, London. (See _Oxford Architectural Society's Manual of -Monumental Brasses_.) - - UNICORN. - -_Pelican in her Piety_ (Vol. v., p. 59.).--In Warner's _Glastonbury_, -plate 18, fig. E., is a very _early_ representation of the pelican -feeding her young with her own blood: an emblem of Christ's love for His -church. The stone was dug out of the ruins of the Abbey. - -In Parker's _Glossary_ the symbol is explained by a quotation from -_Ortus Vocabulorum_: - - "Fertur, si verum est, eam occidere natos suos, eosque per triduum - lugere, deinde seipsum vulnerare, et aspercione sui sanguinis - vivos facere filios suos." - - H. F. E. - -_Names of Places, Provincial Dialect_ (Vol. v., pp. 250. 375.).--In -accordance with the suggestion of E. P. M., I forward you a few -instances of a change between the spelling, and pronunciation: - - Spelling. Pronunciation. - - Chadwell Caudle. - Wymondham (Norf.) Wyndham. - ---- (Leicestersh.) W[)u]mundham. - Swavesey Swaysey. - Lolworth Lolo. - Whitwick Whittick. - Scarford Scawford. - Croxton Kerrial Cr[=o]son, the _o_ long, - and Kerrial entirely - dropped. - - R. J. S. - -Examples of these are more numerous to the north of the Tweed than C. -appears to imagine. The following list, which includes a few surnames, -is the result of rather a hurried search: - - Spelling. Pronunciation. - - Anstruther Anster. - Athelstaneford Elstanfurd. - Bethune Beaton. - Cassilis Cassils. - Charteris Charters. - Cockburn Coburn. - Cockburnspath Coppersmith - Colquhoun Cohoon. - Crichton Cryton. - Dalziel or Dalyell Dee-ell. - Farquhar Farkar. - Halket Hacket. - Inglis Ingils. - Kemback Kemmick. - Kilconquhar Kinnenchar. - Macleod Macloud. - Marjoribanks Marchbanks. - Menzies Meengis. - Methven Meffen. - Monzie Monee. - Restalrig Lastalrik. - Rutherglen Ruglen. - Ruthven Rivven. - Sciennes Sheens. - Sanquhar Sankar. - Urquhart Urcart. - Wemyss Weems. - -Arbroath is a corruption of Aberbrothok, Gretna of Gretenhow, and -Meiklam of M'Ilquham: but probably one of the most remarkable -transformations in Scotland is to be found in the name of a small -village, a few miles to the south of Edinburgh, where _Burdiehouse_ has -usurped the place of Bordeaux. - - E. N. - -_The Term "Milesian"_ (Vol. iv., p. 175.).--I beg to direct your -attention to the accompanying extract, which furnishes a reply to MR. -FRASER'S Query:-- - - "Whoever is acquainted with Irish history, or whoever has had - opportunities of mixing with the natives of that country, cannot - be ignorant that they claim a descent from a long race of Milesian - kings, who reigned over them for thirteen centuries before the - Christian æra. The stock from which this long line of monarchs - emanated is traced to a pretended Milesian colony, supposed to - have emigrated from Spain into Ireland under the conduct of - Heremon and Heber. The most rational inquirers, however, into the - subject consider it as nothing more than a tissue of imaginary - events, originating in the fertile fancies of their bards. A very - brief and general abstract of this contested part of Irish history - shall be given in the words of Mr. Plowden: - - "'About 140 years after the Deluge, Ireland was discovered by one - Adhua, who had been sent from Asia to explore new countries by a - grandson of Belus: he plucked some of the luxuriant grass as a - specimen of the fertility of the soil, and returned to his master. - After that the island remained unoccupied for 140 years; and about - 300 years after the Flood, one Partholan, originally a Scythian, - and a descendant from Japhet in the sixth generation, sailed from - Greece with his family and 1000 soldiers, and took possession of - the island. They all died off, and left the island desolate of - human beings for the space of thirty years. Afterwards different - sets of emigrant adventurers occupied and peopled the island at - different periods. About 1080 years after the Deluge, and 1300 - B.C., Niul (the son of Phenius, a wise Scythian prince), who had - married a daughter of Pharaoh, inhabited with his people a - district given to him by his father-in-law on the Red Sea, when - Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. The descendants of that - Phenius (called more generally Feniusa Farsa) were afterwards - expelled by Pharaoh's successors on account of their ancestors - having favoured the escape of the Israelites through the Red Sea. - They then emigrated and settled in Spain, whence, under the - command of Milesius, a colony of them sailed from Brigantia in - Galicia to Ireland, gained the ascendancy over the inhabitants, - and gave laws and a race of monarchs to the island. The Milesian - dynasty continued to govern Ireland without interruption till - about the year 1168, when it ceased in the person of Roger - O'Connor, and the sovereignty was assumed by our Henry II. Of this - race of kings the first 110 were Pagan, the rest Christian.'" - - Barlow's _Hist. of Ireland_, vol. i. pp. 22-4. - - GEORGE RICHARDS, M.A. - - Queen's Coll., Birmingham. - -_Title of D.D._ (Vol. ii., p. 13.).--The remark of your correspondent -EYE-SNUFF, "that any lay scholar of adequate attainments in theology is -competent to receive this distinction, and any university to bestow it -upon him," is incorrect in two ways, as far as the university of which I -am a member is concerned. A reference to the Oxford University Calendar, -or to the Statutes of the University, will show him that no one can take -the degree of B.D., or D.D., without first exhibiting his letters of -priest's orders: and the theological attainments represented by the -degree D.D. are next to nothing; the exercise required for B.D. used to -be a mere form, and I believe is little more now; a certain number of -terms kept in the university, and payment of certain fees, being all -that is necessary for proceeding D.D. The case is the same, I imagine, -at Cambridge. - - W. FRASER. - -_Lass of Richmond Hill_ (Vol. ii., p. 103.).--I have heard it said, of -course with little regard to probability, that this once popular song -was written by George IV. when Prince of Wales. - - W. FRASER. - -_A Bull_ (Vol. ii., p. 441.).--I have heard it argued that the word -_bull_, meaning an incoherent blunder, was derived from the Pope's -Bulls, the tyrannical contents and imperious tone of which often made so -odd a contrast with the humility of the subscription, "Servus servorum -Dei," that the name _bull_ was applied to anything that seemed absurdly -inconsistent or self-contradictory. - - W. FRASER. - -_Remains of Horses and Sheep in Churches_ (Vol. v., p. 274.).--We have -good evidence that the Saxons used the places of sepulture which they -found in England; and it is well known that Anglo-Saxon remains have -often been discovered in the vicinity of churches, a fact which leads to -the supposition that churches occupied the sites of Pagan temples. The -bones of animals have often been found on and near the sites of our -London churches. - - J. Y. A. - -_Fern Seed_ (Vol. v., pp. 172. 356.).--I am led to think there is an -error in the notice of your correspondent R. S. F. on the above subject. -The seed of St. John's Fearn cannot be gathered on Midsummer Eve, -inasmuch as at that time it is in a merely embryotic state. The seed -attains perfection late in autumn, and it remains attached to the dry -brown stem until shaken off by the autumnal and winter blasts. The -taking of it, therefore, is not, according to those versed in such -mysteries, the easy task of a Midsummer twilight, but must be performed -amid the darkness of a winter's night. On the midnight of Saint John the -Evangelist, to whom the seed and plant are dedicated, must it be shaken, -not pulled, from its stem. Very probably mystic virtues were imputed to -the seed before the introduction of Christianity. And it were not -perhaps hazarding too much to suppose that the old superstitious monks -assigned it to Saint John from an idea that the potency of the seed -might have influenced the wondrous revelations with which he, more than -any other of the disciples, or all the disciples, was favoured. - - B. - - - - -Miscellaneous. - - -NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. - -The Camden Society, of which the fourteenth Annual Meeting on Monday -last passed off most successfully, has just issued to its Members _The -Chronicle of The Grey Friars of London_, edited from a MS. in the -Cottonian Library in the British Museum. This very interesting document, -which altogether escaped the research of the industrious and voluminous -Strype, though it had passed through the hands of Stowe, who had either -the possession or the loan of the original MS., was written by one of -the Grey Friars, who appears to have watched narrowly, and recorded -carefully, the religious changes of the times, more particularly, those -which occurred within the sphere of his personal observation in the city -of London, and the metropolitan church of St. Paul. As he retained -possession of his register, and continued his labours after the -dissolution of his house, and the dismissal of the rest of his -fraternity, he has preserved to us many particulars of great historical -value; and his work has this additional claim to attention, that, -whereas the majority of the existing documents are records of the -Reforming party, this comes from one of the Reformed, and presents us -accordingly with the other side of the case. The work is edited by Mr. -J. G. Nichols, whose name is a sufficient guarantee for the fidelity -with which the document is printed, and the learning and care bestowed -upon its illustration. - -_The Publications of the Antiquarian Etching Club._--Part III., 1851, -presents us with no less than thirty-three etchings by Members of the -Club (of course of various degrees of merit), of objects of antiquarian -interest, comprising Ecclesiastical, Military, and Domestic Edifices, -Fonts, Sepulchral Monuments, Portraits, Fac-similes, copies of rare -prints, and numerous other vestiges of antiquity calculated at once to -instruct the archæologist, and preserve in a pictorial form a record of -much which, but for the _burins_ of the members of this useful little -Society, might have been lost for ever. - -It is but a few weeks since we noticed the admirable second volume of -the _Catalogue of the London Library_, by Mr. J. G. Cochrane. We have -now to record the death of that gentleman on Tuesday last. He was a most -worthy man, and a good scholar; and possessed a vast fund of -bibliographical knowledge. His death therefore will be felt, not only by -his own immediate friends, but also by the institution which he had -served so ably and so zealously ever since its formation. - -It would be treason to the Brothers Grimm, and to our own love of the -literature of the people, if we did not notice and (as it deserves it) -say a good word of a new and complete translation of the world-renowned -_Kinder und Haus Mährchen_, which Messrs. Addey have commenced -publishing under the title of Grimm's _Household Stories_. They are very -faithfully translated from the last edition; and we specify this because -the little _Almaine 4to._ first edition of 1819 has long been one of our -household books, and finding that the translation did not agree with the -versions there given, we have compared it with the edition of 1843, and -so discovered, first, that the translator has used the later edition; -and secondly, what we were not till now aware of, namely, that these -great scholars, Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm, amid their more learned -labours, have not disdained to revise and enlarge their collection of -nursery stories, which have been the delight of the children of all -Europe.

Of these there is one (at p. 62.) which presents us -with the following honorable and characteristic anecdote of the late Sir -Robert Peel:-- - - "The writer of this sketch, now that Sir R. Peel is no more among - us, takes this, perhaps his only opportunity of mentioning the - generosity of that statesman's conduct towards Maginn. The Doctor - having always retained the strong feelings of an Irish Orangeman, - was one of those who condemned with severity Sir Robert's - pro-Catholic policy of 1829; nor, perhaps was there any one writer - of the time by whom the personal motives of the minister were more - unmercifully dealt with. The Doctor assailed them with unwearied - pertinacity, in various newspapers and magazines; but especially - in rhymes only less galling than the fiercest of Swift's. He had - never been personally acquainted with Peel, who could have known - nothing about him so distinctly as this hostility. Yet when, a few - years before Maginn's death, some of his friends were privately - making a subscription to relieve him from some pressing - difficulties, Sir Robert, casually hearing of it, immediately sent - through the writer of this sketch, with a stipulation for secrecy, - the sum of 100_l._ as a contribution to the fund. The writer - believes that Sir Robert on various subsequent occasions - interfered on the Doctor's behalf in a manner not less liberal, - and with the same delicate precautions. At all events, when the - doctor was near his end, Sir Robert forwarded for his use a - similar benefaction of 100_l._ The writer has no reason to suppose - that Maginn was ever aware of any of these kind deeds. It remains - to be added that, some years after Dr. Maginn's death, his only - son, on attaining the requisite age, received a cadetship in the - East Indies from Sir Robert Peel's last government."--(1852.) - -The perusal of this interesting passage has reminded us of a desire -which we felt most strongly at the time when the country lost the -distinguished man to whom it relates; and which we should then have -given expression to, but for the fear that in the multitude of projects -for doing honour to his memory then floating before the public eye, -what we had to propose might not be received in the way which his merits -deserved. - -Sir Robert Peel was pre-eminently a patron of English Literature and -literary men; and we hoped, and do still hope, to see a recognition of -his great claims in that special character on the part of the men of -letters in this country. The most appropriate that occurs to us would be -the erection of his bust or statue in the vestibule of that national -establishment, in the welfare and management of which he always took so -great an interest--we mean the British Museum. - -The minister who, in terms alike honorable to himself and to the man of -letters to whom the dignity was offered, tendered a baronetcy to -Southey, and conferred upon him a pension of 300_l._ a year--who gave -the same amount to Wordsworth--who gave to James Montgomery 150_l._ a -year, and to Tytler, to Tennyson, and to M'Culloch, each 200_l._ a -year--who bestowed a pension upon Frances Brown, and gave a 100_l._ a -year to the widow of Thomas Hood--who gave the first appointment of his -first administration to a son of Allan Cunningham, and placed the sons -of Mrs. Hemans in the service of the Crown,--Sir Robert Peel, the man -and the minister who could thus recognise the claims of Literature[1], -and not, like ministers of old, stipulate for a return in the political -support of those whom he so distinguished, was surely a person whose -memory the men of letters in this country should not be slow to honour. - - [Footnote 1: We have confined our remarks to Sir Robert Peel's - patronage of Literature; but that patronage was as liberally - bestowed upon Science and Art. To him Mrs. Somerville and Sir M. - Faraday were indebted for their pensions; and while his friendship - with Lawrence, Wilkie, and Chantrey, and his patronage of Collins, - Roberts, Stansfield, &c., cannot be forgotten, his prompt and most - kind response to poor Haydon's application for assistance, though - addressed to him at a moment when plunged in the fiercest - political struggle in which he was ever engaged, can never be - forgotten.] - -Let us hope that the moment has arrived when they will do justice to him -who was so ready to recognise their claims. Let Lord Mahon or Mr. -Hallam, who enjoyed the friendship of Sir Robert Peel, step forward and -begin the good work. An appeal from either of them would arouse a host. -They would be supported by all who love Literature, from the highest to -the humblest. Who can doubt that the author of _Coningsby_ and the -author of _Don Carlos_ would rejoice at the opportunity, which would -thus be afforded them, of uniting to do honour to the memory of a -political opponent, in that character in which he deservedly won the -applause of all men--as the judicious and munificent PATRON OF THE -LITERATURE OF OUR NATIVE COUNTRY. - - - - -Notes. - - -SITTING IN BEDE'S CHAIR. - -One of the most interesting antiquities of Jarrow Church, -Northumberland, is the chair of the Venerable Bede. It is preserved in -the vestry of the church, whither all brides repair as soon as the -marriage service is over, to seat themselves upon it. This, according to -the popular belief, will make them the joyful mothers of children; and -the expectant mothers (as I have been informed) would not consider the -marriage ceremony complete, until they had been enthroned in the -Venerable Bede's chair. The chair is very rude and substantial; made of -oak; in height, four feet ten inches; having an upright back, and sides -that slope off for the arms. According to the barbarous English fashion, -it is carved over with the nomenclature of all the vulgar obscurities of -the neighbourhood, whose sacrilegious penknives, together with the -wanton depredations of relic-hunters, have so "shorn" the chair of its -"fair proportions," that soon nothing but its attenuated form, "small by -degrees, and beautifully less," will be left for the future Childe -Harold to address with-- - - "Can it be, - That this is all remains of thee?" - -Every foreigner who has visited our churches and cathedrals cannot fail -to remark how the English love of popularity glares forth in its most -sickly form in this barbarous custom of writing and carving names upon -monuments, or other works of art. Every observant person, too, when he -sees John Smith's name and full address, scratched with painful and -elaborate accuracy upon the stern but noseless face of some alabaster -knight, while he wonders at the gratuitous trouble which John Smith has -taken, must deplore the want of education thus so lamentably evinced. -Happily, this vulgar taste (so far as our churches are concerned) is now -under some control; but, nevertheless, it is still sad to see--at -Lichfield, for example--that control obliged to take the visible shape -of railings, to prevent Messrs. Smith, Brown, Jones, and Robinson from -handing their names down to posterity on the life-like marble of -Chantrey's "Sleeping Children." I have heard that this mode of defacing -monuments took its rise in the time of the Protectorate; and I would -wish to put this in the form of a _Query_: Whether it was so, or no? -With the impression that it _was_ the case, I have for many years past -examined the dates that accompanied names scratched upon monuments, and -never found a date earlier than the Protectorate. The subject seems -worth the inquiry. - -To return to Bede's chair. It has often been engraved: but the best -representation of it that I know, is that by Mr. W. B. Scott, in his -_Antiquarian Gleanings of the North of England_. Besides his careful -etching of the present state of the chair, he also gives a suggestive -woodcut of its restoration. The ornamental portion he confines to the -front of the seat, and the head of the chair. - - CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A. - -_Dedication Stone at Jarrow Church._--While on the subject of Bede's -chair at Jarrow, it may not prove altogether useless to transcribe you a -faithful copy of the dedication stone of Jarrow Church, which is now -placed against the tower-arch of the nave: - - DEDICATIO BASILICAE - SCIPAVLI VIIII KL MAI - ANNO XVECFRIDIREG - - CEOLFRIDIABBEIVSQ - Q ECCLESDOAVCTORE - CONDITORIS ANNO IIII - - CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A. - - -INEDITED POETRY. - -The _first_ piece in the volume of MS. poetry referred to in my -communication in Vol. v., p. 387., may perhaps be deemed of sufficient -interest to occupy a place in your columns. It is entitled "A Ballad," -and appears to me worthy of notice from its quaintness both in style and -rhythm. - - "A BALLAD. - - "Sure glorious Modesty again will rise, - Since she can conquer in bright Marcia's eyes. - Each look of hers creates a lambent fire, - And youth and age concur her virtue to admire. - Hence flow these lines from an unpolish'd hand, - Which thinks her Marcia should the world command. - Go, lovely maid, and let each virgin see - How graceful modesty appears in thee. - That they may all thy imitators be, - And give example to posterity. - - 1. - - "View Marcia's native charms, - She's graceful in behaviour, - By wise advice she steers, - And with all the world's in favour. - No foolish talk slides from her tongue, - Her eyes ne'er wanton seem, - Regards her friends, respects the great, - And is humble to the mean. - - 2. - - "How gentle is her voice, - Not loud with foul detraction, - Good sense guides all her words, - And prudence every action. - Not stiff in dress, or careless she, - But in the graceful mean, - What e'er she wears she still appears - Like some majestic queen. - - 3. - - "Her mind and thoughts still tends [sic] - How to perform her duty; - To her parents' laws she bends, - Which adds more to her beauty. - In conduct she a matron is - With cheerful air and mein, [sic] - The steddiness of sixty years, [sic] - In look she's scarce fifteen. - - 4. - - "In friendship most sincere, - As well as in devotion, - To herself alone severe, - And guards her every motion. - Her conquering eyes give her no pride, - Her charms she will not know, - Nor meaner beautys does deride [sic], - Tho' they their envy show. - - 5. - - "How lovely is that face - Where modesty's adorning, - And Marcia with that grace - Is improving every morning. - She like the glorious sun in spring - Is encreasing every day, - For her Apollo's harp he'll string, - And the Muses sing their lay. - - 6. - - "How happy is this nymph, - Whose noble inclination, - All subtle arts contemns - And sligh made assignation: [sic] - Whose hours are spent in useful works, - Or reading tracts divine, - The young, the grave, the wise, the brave, - Pay homage at her shrine. - And so does - Her humble slave, - - "JUBA ISSHAM." - -I hope that some of your readers will be able to explain this signature, -which is to me inexplicable. - - W. SPARROW SIMPSON. - - -ON A PASSAGE IN "MEASURE FOR MEASURE," ACT I. SC. 1. - -Dr. Johnson long since observed that "there is perhaps not one of -Shakspeare's plays more darkened than this by the peculiarities of its -author, and the unskilfulness of its editors, by distortions of phrase, -or negligence of transcription." - -Under these circumstances we cannot be surprised that we are favoured -with three pages of notes on the following passage, which occurs in the -opening scene: - - "_Duke._ Escalus. - - "_Escal._ My lord. - - "_Duke._ Of government the properties to unfold, - Would seem in me to affect speech and discourse: - Since I am put to know, that your own science - Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice - My strength can give you: Then no more remains - But that to your sufficiency, as your worth is able, - And let them work." - -I must refer those who are desirous of seeing the various attempts to -extract a meaning from this passage to the Variorum Edition, and content -myself with those of the two latest editors, Mr. Collier and Mr. Knight. - -Mr. Collier says: - - "This passage is evidently corrupt, as is shown both by the metre - and the sense. The latter will be cleared by the omission of the - preposition 'to:' 'then no more remains [to be said], but that - your sufficiency, as your worth is able, and let them work.' This - change, however, will only partially cure the defective measure; - and even were we to omit 'that,' as well as 'to,' the line would - not be perfect without reducing 'sufficiency' to a trisyllable. It - has been thought best, therefore, to leave the text as it stands - in the first folio. 'Sufficiency' is adequate authority." - -Mr. Knight says: - - "We encounter at the onset one of the obscure passages for which - this play is remarkable. The text is usually printed thus: - - "'Then no more remains - But that to your sufficiency, as your worth is able, - And let them work.' - - "It is certainly difficult to extract a clear meaning from this; - and so Theobald and Hanmer assume that a line has dropped out, - which they kindly restore to us, each in his own way. The - emendation which Steevens proposes is much less forced: 'Then' - (says the Duke), 'no more remains to say, - - "'But your sufficiency as your worth is able, - And let them work.' - - "It is not our purpose to remove obscurities by additions or - omissions, and therefore we leave the passage as in the original, - excepting a slight alteration in the punctuation. We believe it - may be read thus, without much difficulty. '_Then no more remains_ - (to say on government) _But that_, (your science) _to your - sufficiency_, (joined to your authority) _as your worth_ (as well - as your virtue) _is able_ (equal to the duty), _and let them work_ - (call them into action).'" - -I cannot say that this exposition (paraphrastic as it is) is clear to -me; and I feel confident that our great poet never wrote the words "But -that," following as they do "Exceeds in that." What does "But that" -refer to? It cannot refer to "science," as Mr. Knight imagines. The -remedy lies in a very trifling correction of the press. In the MS. from -which the play was printed, the words "But thrto" were thus written, and -the compositor mistook "thr" for "tht;" there is no comma after _that_ -in the old copies. Replace "thereto" and the passage is perfectly clear -as to sense. - - "Then no more remains - But _thereto_ your sufficiency, as your worth is able, - And let them work." - -It may be necessary to show that the word I propose would be used by the -poet just in the sense required here. The following passage from the -_Winter's Tale_, Act I. Sc. 2., will, I think, place it beyond doubt: - - "Camillo, - As you are certainly a gentleman, _thereto_ - Clerk-like experienc'd, which no less adorns - Our gentry, than our parents' noble names, - In whose success we are gentle," &c. - -I take the sense of the whole passage thus: "Since I must acknowledge -that you are better skilled in the nature of _government_ than I am, it -would be idle in me to lecture you on the subject. Then nothing more is -wanting but _thereto_ your sufficient authority (_i.e._ to govern), as -you have the ability, and let them (your skill and authority) come into -operation." - -_Sufficiency_, as Warburton long ago observed, is _authority_, but may -possibly be here used in the Latin sense of _substitution_. Escalus is -to be Vice-gerent. The very slight change necessary, and the great -probability of the occurrence of the error, strongly recommend this -simple emendation. - -Daily experience is manifesting how large a portion of the difficult -passages are errors of the printer of the first folio, the two happy -corrections lately given in _The Athenaeum_, for instance: who can doubt -that in _Coriolanus_, Act III. Sc. 1., "Bosome-multi_p_lied" should be -"Bissom-multitude:" or that, in _All's Well that Ends Well_, Act V. Sc. -3., "infuite comming" should be "infinite cunning?" A glance at the -passages as they stand in the old print of the first folio would -convince the most sceptical. A list of mere printer's errors in that -book would be not a little astounding. - - S. W. SINGER. - - [It may be proper to observe, that this Note by MR. SINGER had - been in the Editor's possession at least a fortnight previous to - the appearance of that by our esteemed correspondent at Leeds in - our last Number.] - - -FOLK LORE. - -_Sites of Buildings mysteriously changed._--It may be amusing to the -readers of "N. & Q.," and attended with some useful result, to record a -few popular traditions respecting the mysterious opposition to the -building of certain edifices on the spots originally designed for them -by their founders. I will introduce the subject with the local -traditions about the building of three churches well known to myself. - -1. The church of Breedon, in Leicestershire, stands alone on a high -hill, the village being at its foot. The hill is so steep on the side -towards the village, that a carriage can only ascend by taking a very -circuitous course; and even the footpath winds considerably, and in some -parts ascends by steps formed in the turf. The inconvenience of such a -situation for the church is obvious, and the stranger, of course, -wonders at the folly of those who selected a site for a church which -would necessarily preclude the aged and infirm from attending public -worship. But the initiated parishioner soon steps forward to enlighten -him on the subject, and assures him the pious founder consulted the -convenience of the village, and assigned a central spot for the site of -the church. There the foundation was dug, and there the builders began -to rear the fabric; but all they built in the course of the day was -carried away by _doves_ in the night, and skilfully built in the same -manner on the hill where the church now stands. Both founder and -workmen, awed by this extraordinary interference, agreed to finish the -edifice thus begun by doves. - -2. The parish church of Wendover, in Buckinghamshire, stands nearly half -a mile from the town. The church was to have been placed on a field -adjoining the town, and there the building of it was begun; but the -materials were all carried away in the night by witches, or, as some -relate the tradition, by fairies, and deposited where the church now -stands. The field in which the church was to have been built is still -called "Witches' Meadow." - -3. The parish church of Winwick, Lancashire, stands near that -miracle-working spot where St. Oswald, king of the Northumbrians, was -killed. The founder had destined a different site for it, but his -intention was overruled by a singular personage, whose will he never -dreamed of consulting. It must here be noticed that Winwick had then not -even received its name; the church, as not uncommon in those days, being -one of the earliest erections in the parish. The foundation of the -church, then, was laid where the founder had directed, and the close of -the first day's labour showed the workmen had not been idle, by the -progress made in the building. But the approach of night brought to pass -an event which utterly destroyed the repose of the few inhabitants -around the spot. A pig was seen running hastily to the site of the new -church; and as he ran he was heard to cry or scream aloud "We-ee-wick, -We-ee-wick, We-ee-wick!" Then, taking up a stone in his mouth, he -carried it to the spot sanctified by the death of St. Oswald, and thus -employing himself through the whole night, succeeded in removing all the -stones which had been laid by the builders. The founder, feeling himself -justly reproved for not having chosen that sacred spot for the site of -his church, unhesitatingly yielded to the wise counsel of the pig. Thus -the pig not only decided the site of the church, but gave a name to the -parish. - -In support of this tradition, there is the figure of a pig sculptured on -the tower of the church, just above the western entrance; and also the -following Latin doggerel: - - "Hic locus, Oswalde, quondam placuit tibi valde; - Northanhumbrorum fueras Rex, nuncque Polorum - Regna tenes, loco passus Marcelde vocato." - -May not the phrase "Please the pigs" have originated in the above -tradition, since the founder of Winwick Church was obliged to succumb to -the pleasure of his porkish majesty? - -Instances of equally marvellous changes in the sites of buildings are -recorded in Bede, and other monkish writers. Perhaps it would not be -difficult to unravel the mystery of such changes. - - W. H. K. - -_Burning the Bush._--While in Herefordshire last spring, I noticed a -singular custom in the agricultural districts. When the wheat is just -springing out of the ground, the farmer's servants rise before daybreak, -and cut a branch of thorn of a particular kind. They then make a large -fire in the field, in which they burn a portion of it; the remaining -part is afterwards hung up in the house. They do this to prevent the -smut, or mildew, affecting the wheat. - - J. B. ROBINSON. - - Belper. - -_Essex Superstition._--An uncle of mine, who has a large farm near -Ilford, tells me, that observing a horse-shoe nailed to the door of one -of his cow-houses, he asked the cow-keeper why he had fixed it there. -The lad gravely replied, "Why, to keep the wild-horse away, to be sure." -This is, to me, a new reason for the practice. - -I have learned that the superstition about the bees deserting their -hives on the death of one of their owner's family, is common in the same -county. A lady tells me, that calling upon some poor people who lived at -Hyde Green, near Ingatestone, she inquired after the bees. The old woman -of the house replied, "They have all gone away since the death of poor -Dick; for we forgot to knock at the hives, and tell them he was gone -dead." - - C. MANSFIELD INGLEBY. - - -OLD SONG, "NOT LONG AGO I DRANK A FULL POT." - -I send another old song; and, as in the case of the "Cuckold's Cap," I -would ask is it known? - - Not long ago I drank a full pot, - Full of sack up to the brim, - I drank to my friend, and he drank his pot, - Thus we put about the whim. - Six bottles at a draught he pour'd down his throat; - But what are such puny sips as these? - I laid me all along, with my mouth unto the bung, - And I drank up a hogshead to the lees. - - I have heard of one who drank whole tankards, - And styl'd himself the Prince of Sots; - But what are such poor puny drunkards? - Melt their tankards, break their pots. - My friend and I did join for a cellar full of wine, - We drank the vintner out of door, - We drank it ev'ry drop, one morning at the tap, - And we greedily star'd about for more. - - My friend then to me made this motion, - Don't let's part thus with dry lips; - With that we sail'd upon the ocean, - Where we met with a fleet of ships; - All laden with wine which was superfine, - The merchants they had ten thousand tun, - We drank it all at sea, before they reach'd the quay, - And the merchants swore they were all undone. - - My friend not having quench'd his thirst, - Said, to the vineyard let us haste; - There we seized the canary first, - That yielded to us but a taste: - From thence unto the Rhine, where we drank up all their wine; - Till Bacchus cried "Hold, hold! 'ere I die!" - He swore he never found, in the universe around, - Two such thirsty souls as my friend and I. - - "Pooh!" says one, "what a beast he makes himself, - He can neither stand nor go!" - "Sir," said I, "that's a grand mistake of yours, - For when did you ever know a beast drink so? - 'Tis when we drink the least, we drink the most like beasts; - 'Tis when we carouse with six in hand; - 'Tis then and only then, we drink about like men, - When we drink 'till we neither can go nor stand." - - J. R. R. - - -Minor Notes. - -_Boston and Bunker's Hill._--In the plan of Boston, among the maps of -the Useful Knowledge Society, is to be found, near Charleston, and on -Breed's Hill (the real site of the battle usually misnamed as of -Bunker's Hill), the following notice, "Defeat of the British, 1775." My -first idea was, that, _Liberal_ though the Society might be, it was -being rather too liberal to give away in this manner a victory which, -however bloody and fruitless, was indubitably ours: but, on second -thoughts, it seemed that the whole fault arose from copying too -implicitly an American map. Now I am well aware that a very large part -of the Americans, from continually vaunting (and with good reason) the -valour they displayed, and the honour they acquired, on that occasion, -have gradually worked themselves into the belief that they were the -victors, even though their own historians tell a different tale; and -they have even placed inscriptions on the monuments standing on the site -of the intrenchments from which they were forced by the British; which -inscriptions also assert a similar claim. This would be of no great -consequence had it been confined to themselves; but its being -transferred to an English publication not only tends to mislead many -persons on this side, but enables the Americans to refer with confidence -to it, as an admission of _their_ victory on the part of the British; -and no one who remembers the use they made, on the Oregon Question, of a -similarly occasioned error in one of the Society's globes, can doubt -that our Transatlantic friends would make the most of this trifling -affair in confirmation of their claims to the victory. - - J. S. WARDEN. - -_Snooks._--This name, so generally associated with vulgarity, is only a -corruption, or rather a contraction, of the more dignified name of -_Sevenoaks_. This town is generally called _Se'noaks_ in Kent; and the -further contraction, coupled with the phonetic spelling of former days, -easily passed into _S'nooks_. This is no imaginary conclusion, for I am -told by a trustworthy friend that Messrs. Sharp and Harrison, -solicitors, Southampton, have recently had in their possession a series -of deeds in which all the modes of spelling occur from _Sevenokes_ down -to _S'nokes_, in connexion with a family now known as _Snooks_. - - G. W. J. - -_Last Slave sold in England._--Can any of your correspondents tell me -the date of the last public slave sale in England? Till the -establishment of Granville Sharpe's great principle, in 1772, -announcements of these are by no means uncommon. The following, from the -_Public Ledger_ of Dec. 31, 1761, grates harshly upon the feelings of -the present generation:-- - - "FOR SALE: - - "A healthy negro girl, aged about fifteen years; speaks good - English, works at her needle, washes well, does household work, - and has had the small-pox." - - SAXONICUS. - -_Hoax on Sir Walter Scott._--The following passage occurs in one of Sir -W. Scott's letters to Southey, written in September, 1810: - - "A witty rogue, the other day, who sent me a letter subscribed - 'Detector,' proved me guilty of stealing a passage from one of - Vida's Latin poems, which I had never seen or heard of; yet there - was so strong a general resemblance as fairly to authorise - 'Detector's' suspicion." - -Lockhart remarks thereupon: - - "The lines of Vida which 'Detector' had enclosed to Scott, as the - obvious original of the address to 'Woman' in _Marmion_, closing - with-- - - "'When pain and anguish wring the brow, - A ministering angel thou!' - - "end as follows: and it must be owned that if Vida had really - written them, a more extraordinary example of casual coincidence - could never have been pointed out. - - "'Cum dolor atque supercilio gravis imminet angor, - Fungeris angelico sola ministerio.' - - "'Detector's' reference is Vida _ad Eranen_, El. ii. v. 21.; but - it is almost needless to add there are no such lines, and no - piece bearing such a title in Vida's works. 'Detector' was, no - doubt, some young college wag; for his letter has a Cambridge - post-mark." - -It may interest to know that the author of this clever hoax was Henry I. -T. Drury, then, I think, of King's College, Cambridge, and afterwards -one of the Masters at Harrow. The lines will be found in the _Arundines -Cami_. - - W. T. M. - - Hong Kong. - - - - -Queries. - - -IRISH QUERIES. - -1. O'Donovan, in his edition of the _Post-Invasion Annals of the IV. -Masters_, vol. iii. p. 2091. note, says that he "intends to publish a -review of Spenser's _View of the State of Ireland_, in which he will -give him full credit for his discernment of abuses, and expose all his -intentional figments." Query, Has this review since appeared in any -Irish periodical, or other publication? - -2. What is the relationship (or may it possibly be the _identity_?) -between Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, who married a daughter of -William, Earl Marshal, the famous Protector, during Henry III.'s -minority, and Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, who married a -daughter of King Edward I.? - -3. The inquirer will consider himself extremely indebted to any one who -will inform him of the existence of a set of Middle-Age Maps of the -countries of Europe, of 8vo. or small 4to. size, published in England, -_France_, or _Germany_, in print, or easily to be had second-hand, _more -or less accurate_. - -Koch's _Revolutions de l'Europe_, tome iii., Paris, 1814, gives seven -maps of the whole continent and its adjacent islands, at the following -periods of Middle-Age history: - - (1.) Avant l'Invasion des Barbares; - (2.) Vers la Fin du Ve Siecle; - (3.) Sous l'Empire de Charlemagne; - (4.) Vers la Fin du IXe Siecle; - (5.) Vers 1074; - (6.) Vers 1300: - (7.) A l'An 1453; - -which contain, of course, but few names of places. Were Europe divided -into five unequal parts, say, 1. The Northern Countries; 2. The British -Isles; 3. The Germanic Countries, Hungary, &c.; 4. France and Spain; 5. -Italy, Turkey, &c.; and maps of these five parts given, the Northern -Countries at three periods, the British Isles at four ditto, and the -others at seven periods, as above, we should require twenty-eight maps -(not too great a number, as the King's College _Modern Atlas_, of a -convenient size, has twenty-five), which if they contained names of -places as closely packed as the King's College _Atlas_, and laid down -from Spruner, or some other trustworthy authority, would soon, it may be -said without much foresight, be in the hands of so many readers of -history, as to answer thoroughly to any bookseller undertaking to bring -them out. - -4. A copy of O'Brien's _Irish-English Dictionary_, _first_ edition, -4to., old, half-calf, margins a little water-stained, otherwise perfect -and clean, lately priced at 25_s._, to be exchanged for a clean copy of -the edition of 1832 (inferior in value but more portable), and a clean -copy of Thady Connellan's elementary _Irish Dictionary_, published by -Wall, Temple Bar; Hatchard, and Rivingtons: or the latter will be -purchased at a moderate price, without exchange. - -Any one desiring to report the books wanted, to be so kind as to do so -in "N. & Q." - - MAC AN BHAIRD. - - -Minor Queries. - -_The Azores._--In a note in _Our Village_ (vol. v.), Miss Mitford says -that this name was given to these islands collectively, on account of -the number of hawks and falcons found on them. Is the name Spanish; and -does the Natural History of the islands at the present time confirm the -assertion? - - J. O'G. - -_Johnny Crapaud._--In one of Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe books is the -following entry of a trinket, devised at the period of the Duke of -Alencon's courting her Majesty: - - "Item, one little Flower of gold, with a _Frog_ thereon; and - therein mounseer his physnomie, and a little Pearl pendant." - - "'Query,' says Miss Strickland (_Queens_, vol. vi. p. 471., 1st - edit.), 'was this whimsical conceit a love-token, from the Duke of - Alencon to his royal _belle amie_, and the frog designed, not as a - ridiculous, but a sentimental allusion to his country?'" - -To which Query I would add another: When was the term of _Johnny -Crapaud_ first applied to the French people, and on what occasion? I am -aware of the notion of its being on account of their said partiality for -eating frogs; which, by the bye, having tasted, I can pronounce to be -very good: _mais chacun a son gout_. Is the frog introduced in the arms -of Anjou or Alencon? - - PHILIP S. KING. - -_Poems in the "Spectator."_--The fine moral poems which first appeared -in the _Spectator_, e.g. that commencing "When all thy mercies, O my -God;" the version of the Twenty-third Psalm, "The Lord my pasture shall -prepare;" "The spacious firmament on high," &c., are, as most of our -readers are aware, commonly ascribed to Addison. In a recent collection -of poetical pieces, however, I have seen them attributed to Andrew -Marvell. Can any of your readers certify either of these contradictory -assertions? - - J. G. F. - -_Old John Harries, "Bishop of Wales."_--I have "An Elegy to the Memory -of the late worthy and pious Mr. John Harries of Amleston, in -Pembrokeshire, Preacher of the Gospel;" from which it appears that, -after devoting himself to preaching for forty-six years, through both -North and South Wales, and more particularly in "Roose, Castlemartin, -Pembroke, Haverfordwest, Narberth, Woodstockslop, and Amleston," he died -at Newport on the 7th of March, 1788. Will you allow me to ask your -numerous correspondents whether any of them can assist me in tracing his -pedigree? One of his sons, a minor canon of Bristol, bore the arms of -Owen Gwynedd, viz. "vert, three eagles displayed on a fesse, or," on his -book-plate. He was often called the "Bishop of Wales," from the large -district through which he _overlooked_ the progress of the Gospel. - - I.

I.: - - "By his corporal oath, taken upon the consecrated body of Christ; - and upon _the two holy crosses_, to wit, the _cross Neytz_, and - the _Blakerode Descoce_, and other holy reliques." - - "In the priory of Lanrecost, in the diocese of Carlisle, before W. - Bp. of Lichfield and Coventry, the King's Chancellor; and in the - presence of Adomar de Valence." - -I perceive in one of your communications, there is mention of the -_English Cross, the Cross Nigth_, which in Madox is called "the Cross -Neytz." Perhaps some of your antiquarian correspondents will favour us -with some explanation of this cross. - -I should wish moreover to elicit some further particulars of _Thomas -Madox, the Historiographer Royal_, who has so well deserved of all -lovers of ancient English history by the four books in folio which he -has left us: especially his _Formulare Anglicanum_, and that work of -prodigious industry and research, his _History of the Exchequer_. There -is some account in Nichols' _Lit. Anecdotes_, but I should wish to see -some more particulars of his life and studies, and a more exact critique -upon his several works. - - J. T. A. - -_Crown Jewels once kept at Holt Castle._--I remember reading many years -since (I have forgotten both the title and the subject of the work) that -the _crown jewels_ were once deposited in Holt Castle, about five miles -from Worcester, for greater safety. Can any of your kind correspondents -inform me when and upon what turbulent occasion it was thought necessary -to forward them to the above stronghold on the banks of the Severn, and -who resided there at the time? - - J. B. WHITBORNE. - -_"Cane Decane," &c._--I should like to know, if you can inform me, where -the following couplet is to be found, upon an ecclesiastic singing a -hunting song: - - "Cane Decane canis; sed ne cane, cane Decane, - De cane, de canis, cane Decane, cane." - -Which may be thus freely translated: - - "Hoary Deacon, sing; but then, - Not of dogs, but hoary men." - - W. W. E. T. - - Warwick Square, Belgravia. - -_Rev. John Meekins, D.D._--Are there any letters of the Rev. Jno. -Meekins, D.D., Oxon., chaplain to George, Prince of Denmark, the royal -consort of Queen Anne, extant? and in what year did he die? - - MICOENIS. - -_Finsbury Manor._--Will some of your correspondents kindly inform me -where I can meet with an authority to prove the Lord Mayor of London is -styled _mayor_ by virtue of crown charters, and lord as _lord_ of the -manor of Finsbury? I have seen such a statement, but cannot bring to -mind the work in which it occurred. - - AMANUENSIS. - -_Frebord._--I want information on this matter, and consider "N. & Q." -peculiarly the place wherein to seek it, because it is a matter mainly -dependent on local custom. All the notice of Frebord that I have been -able to discover in books is derived from Dugdale. For instance, in -Jacob's _Law Dictionary_, ed. 1807, I read-- - - "Frebord, _Franchordus_, ground claimed in some places more or - less, beyond, or without the fence. It is said to contain two foot - and a half." - - _Mon. Ang._, tom. ii. p. 141. - -I heard, the other day, of a Warwickshire gentleman who claimed ten or -twelve feet; but the immediate reason for my Query is a claim at present -under the notice of a friend of mine is for sixty-six feet freebord! Is -not such a claim preposterous? - - P. M. M. - -_The Stature of Queen Elizabeth._--In a book entitled -_Physico-Theology_, being the substance of sixteen sermons preached in -St. Mary-le-Bone Church, London, at the Honourable Mr. Boyle's lectures -in 1711 and 1712, with notes, &c., by the Rev. W. Derham (a _second -edition_, with additions, published in 1714), the authors, in treating -of the stature and size of man's body, says there is great reason to -think the size of man was always the same from the Creation; and in a -note at page 330., after quoting Dr. Hakewill's _Apolog._ and other -authorities, concludes with these words:-- - - "Nay, besides all this probable, we have some more certain - evidence. Augustus was five foot nine inches high, which was the - just measure of our famous Queen Elizabeth, who exceeded his - height two inches, if proper allowance be made for the difference - between the Roman and our foot."--Vide Hakewill, _Apolog._, p. - 215. - -Probably some of your learned correspondents may give additional -information on this interesting subject. - - J. F. ALLEN. - - Macclesfield. - -_Portrait of Charles Mordaunt, Earl of Peterborough._--Can any of your -readers inform me if there exists an original picture of Charles -Mordaunt, the famous Earl of Peterborough, and where such can be seen? - - A TRAVELLER. - -_Inscription by Luther._--In looking at some of the old books in the -library of the British Museum, I observed, on the fly-leaf of an old -Bible, an inscription by Martin Luther, the meaning of which was the -following:-- - - "Elijah the prophet said, the world had existed 2000 years before - the law (from Adam to Moses); would exist 2000 years under the - Mosaic dispensation (from Moses to Christ), and 2000 years under - the Christian dispensation; and then the world would be burnt." - -The manuscript was in German and very much effaced, so that I am not -able to remember the words, though I very well remember the meaning. - -Could any reader inform me in what part of the Bible this prophecy of -Elijah's is to be found? for I have searched for it in vain. - - C. H. M. - -_"O Juvenis frustra," &c._--I should be glad to be informed, through -your publication, where I may find this line,-- - - "O Juvenis frustra est tua Doctrina Plebs amat Remedia." - - J. W. V. - -_All-fours._--In Macaulay's essay on Southey's edition of _The Pilgrim's -Progress_ (Longman & Co., p. 184.) occurs a curious use of this -expression: - - "The types are often inconsistent with each other; and sometimes - the allegorical disguise is altogether thrown off.... It is not - easy to make a simile go on all-fours. But we believe that no - human ingenuity could produce such a centipede as a long allegory - in which the correspondence between the outward sign and the thing - signified should be exactly preserved. Certainly no writer ancient - or modern has achieved the adventure." - -This meaning I cannot find in Bailey's _Dictionary_, and it has escaped -the curious vigilance of Blakie's compilers. The saying, however, is a -very old one. Sir Edward Coke employs it (_Coke upon Littleton_, lib. i. -c. 1. sect. 1. p. 3. _a._): - - "But no simile holds in everything; according to the ancient - saying, _Nullum simile quatuor pedibus currit_." - -There is a marginal reference here to 1 Hen. VII. 16. - -Perhaps some of your philological correspondents can throw some light on -the origin of the phrase, or at least give me some other examples of its -use. Is the expression "To be on all-fours with" good English? - - C. MANSFIELD INGLEBY. - -_Richard, second Son of the Conqueror_, is said by Hume, and by some -minor writers after him, to have been killed by a stag in the New -Forest; but William of Malmesbury and Roger of Wendover both say that he -died of fever, consequent on malaria, which struck him while hunting -there. This is well known to be of frequent occurrence in the -neighbourhood of desolated human dwellings; and thus seems to involve -even a more striking instance of retributive justice than the fate which -Hume assigns to him. The fatality attending most of this name in our -history is singular. Of nine princes (three of them kings) who have -borne the name of Richard, seven, or, if Hume is right, eight, have died -violent deaths, including four successive generations of the House of -York. - - J. S. WARDEN. - -_Francis Walkinghame._--Your correspondent's mention of my _Arithmetical -Books_ (Vol. v., p. 392.) reminds me of a Query which I made in it, and -which has never obtained the slightest answer--Who was Francis -Walkinghame, and when was his work on arithmetic first published? The -earliest edition I know of is the twenty-third, in 1787; but I am told, -on good authority, that Mr. Douce had the sixteenth edition of 1779. - - A. DE MORGAN. - -_Optical Phenomenon._--I shall be much obliged to anybody who will -explain a phenomenon which I have observed. - -Suppose 1. A street from twenty to thirty feet broad. - -2. At the open window of a house on one side stands a man looking at the -corresponding window of the house on the opposite side; that is, he -looks at what was a window, but is now filled up with a large board that -is covered with an inscription of short lines, black on white; in short, -just such a board as one sees at a turnpike gate. - -3. From shortness, or defect, of sight (I cannot say which), the man is -unable to read the inscription as he stands at his window. - -4. He sits down on a low seat, so as to bring his eye almost close to, -and just on a level with, the sill of his own window. He then slowly -raises and depresses his head. As he does this, it of course appears to -him as if his own window-sill travelled up and down the board opposite. - -5. In doing so it comes successively under each line of the inscription. - -6. As it does so, that one line becomes perfectly legible. - - N. B. - - -Minor Queries Answered. - -_Abraham-Men._--Although I cannot find it in your former volumes, nor in -your Index, I think there was an inquiry in one of your past Numbers as -to the meaning of the phrase "_To sham Abraham_." - -If there has been any reply, will you be good enough to refer me to it? -as it may explain the passage in Burton's _Anatomy of Melancholy_, that -"every village almost will yield dummerers _Abraham-men_," &c. (Part I. -sec. 2., vol. i. p. 360.) - - W. W. E. T. - - Warwick Square, Belgravia. - - ["To sham Abraham" is a cant expression, having reference to the - practices of a class of vagabonds and cheats once common in this - country. In Decker's _English Villanies_ there are many curious - particulars of the habits of this class of impostors. "She's all - Abram," that is, quite naked. "What an Abram!" an exclamation for - a ragged fellow. "An Abraham-man" was an impostor who personated a - poor lunatic called Tom of Bedlam: one of this class is described - by Shakspeare in his _Lear_, Act II. Sc. 3.: - - "The basest and most poorest shape, - That every penury, in contempt of man, - Brought near to beast." - - Among sailors, "An Abram" is being unwell, or out of sorts. When - Abraham Newland was Cashier of the Bank of England, it was sung-- - - "I have heard people say, - That sham Abraham you may, - But you must not sham Abraham Newland."] - -_Author of "Le Blason des Couleurs."_--Can you give me the date of, or -any account of the author of a small black-letter French work on -heraldry entitled, _Le Blason des Couleurs en Armes_, &c. The author -introduces himself as "Je Sicille Herault a tres puissant roy Alph[=o]se -Darragon: de Sicilie: de Vallence de Maillaque: de Corseique et -Sardeigne: Conte de Barselonne," &c.; and at the end of the first part -it is said to be "compose par Sicille Herault du roy Alph[=o]se -daragon." - - H.

[Richard] Neville of -South Leverton, Notts, by Ann, fourth daughter of Sir Edw. [Walter] -Mantle; he died anno 1614? Any particulars or references concerning him -would be acceptable. Was he the Alexander Neville who sate for -Christchurch, Hants, 1585, and for Saltash 1601. - - J.

According to Hearne, there are two editions of - this date of 1575; the first, without the passage displeasing to - the Welshmen, dedicated only to Abp. Parker; the other, with two - dedications, viz. that to Abp. Parker, and a new one to Abp. - Grindall. The offensive passage is at p. 132.

It -was as follows: - -The custodians (whether rightful or not, I know not, as no date was -assigned to the action of the narrative) of the Scottish regalia being -bound by an oath to deliver it to the Governor of Carlisle, as the -nearest representative of the English sovereign, by a certain day, -determined upon a plan for performing (!), and at the same time evading, -their promise. Having selected the most able steed in Scotland, a -suitable deputation escorted the regalia _and the horse_ to the -appointed place of tradition. The embassy carrying with them the more -valuable and portable of their treasures--the jewels, not the horse, of -which hereafter,--were duly admitted to an audience with the governor, -who received them in the presence of the principal inhabitants of -Carlisle: and having produced and surrendered the regalia (and doubtless -taken an acquittance!), surreptitiously, and with gipsey adroitness, -regained possession of it, and conveying it from the audience chamber, -immediately delivered it to an expectant messenger; who, mounted on the -before-mentioned horse, awaited its return outside the hall; and who, -_ventre a terre_, pursued his eager flight across the border, nor once -drew rein until his precious burden was again deposited in the custody -of Scottish tenure. Whether the deputation was dismissed, and escaped -before the discovery of its chicanery, or whether the conspirators -received the well-merited punishment of their audacious dissimulation, -my informant knew not. And although the story tells more in favour of -the astuteness than the honesty of his countrymen (if true), he -narrated it with considerable unction, and declared that it was -generally believed and admired in Scotland; the patriotism displayed, -the dangerous nature of the enterprise, and the success which attended -it, palliating any stigma which might attach to the want of faith, -double dealing, and casuistry which marked the transaction. - -The method by which the horse's title to be considered the ablest in -Scotland was ascertained, was ingenious. The horses the most renowned -for fleetness and endurance were secretly collected, and having been -deprived of water for a considerable time, were presently, one by one, -permitted to bury their heads in the grateful bucket, and the duration -of each draught was scrupulously watched and recorded; the animal that -retained its nostrils for the longest time immersed being selected for -the honour of rescuing the royal treasure, as having given proofs of its -superior wind and bottom. - -Is any credit to be attached to the story: and if historical, can any -reader inform me where it is recorded? - - C.

Stilich._ I. 288. - -From these passages it will be seen that the gods dwelt in these groves, -and that sacred vessels and altars were placed there, but no images; -neither were temples erected.[2] The practice of worshipping the gods in -woods and trees continued for many centuries, till the introduction of -Christianity (Vid. Willibald, A.D. 786, _in Vita Bonifacii_), and the -converters did not disdain to adopt every means to raise Christian -cultus to higher authority than that of Paganism, by acting upon the -senses of the heathen, _e.g._ using white robes for those baptized, -lighting of candles, burning of incense, &c.; and they erected the -Christian churches, for the most part, upon the site of Pagan _tree_ or -temple; Sulp. _Severus_ (ed. Amst. 1665), p. 485.: - - "Nam ubi fana destruxerat (Martinus), _statim ibi aut ecclesias - aut monasteria construebat_." - -Dietm. _V.

As -the energetic sister may be a reader of "N. & Q.," I do not wish to -annoy her by printing the forger's name, but I shall be glad to have the -place and date of the conviction. - -About twenty years ago, the rule of hanging for forgery was broken in -the case of Fry, a school-master, who was sentenced to death without any -hope of mercy, and not reprieved till he had heard the "condemned -sermon"--I think, not till the day before that which was fixed for his -execution. He showed great fear; rolled upon the chapel floor, and -delivered to the sheriffs a well-written protest against the right to -inflict capital punishment. His being spared caused much surprise; and -between that event and the abolition of the punishment of death for -forgery, few, if any, were executed for that crime. - -The sister, falling, at the feet of Baron G----, who "was notorious for -his unflinching obduracy," is a melo-dramatic event which, I think, -would have found its way to the newspapers. But the most extraordinary -thing is the conclusion: - - "The forger was placed in the hulks prior to transportation; and - before this took place he had forged a pass or order from the Home - Secretary's office for his own liberation, which procured his - release, and he was never afterwards heard of." - -Letters to convicts in the hulks are opened by the officers before being -delivered to the prisoners. It is not usual for the Home Secretary to -write to a convict enclosing "a pass or order." On the contrary, a -pardon is attended with a good number of formalities, and without one I -do not think that any convict would have been allowed to quit the -vessel. In that class of prisoners, leave of absence on parole, or a -"day rule," would have been something peculiar enough to make the -turnkey ask, "Where did you get this?" In short, a convict who made his -escape as described must be as extraordinary a person as the strong -American, who could sit in a basket and lift himself upon a table by the -handles. - - "She returned to the city at which the assizes had been held just - as they were concluded.

B. C. - - U. U. Club. - - -LORDS MARCHERS OF WALES. - -(Vol. v., pp. 30. 135. 189.) - -Allow me to call upon your correspondent I. J. H. H., who dates from St. -Asaph, to explain what he means by a Lordship Marcher; and what proof he -possesses that his friend Mr. Lloyd is the "only Lord Marcher now extant -in the kingdom?" The most authentic single record which we possess of -the number, names, and situation of these lordships is the statute 27 -Hen. VIII. ch. 26. The writs issued to the Lords Marchers, at various -times before that statute, would perhaps furnish materials for a more -exact enumeration of them; but the above Act was unquestionably intended -to include all of them; and the only reason why the information conveyed -by it is not complete is, that some of the names specified in it may -perhaps be those of townships, or other districts within, or parcel of, -some Lordship Marcher, and that other lordships seem to be comprehended -under a general description, such as "all lordships lying between -Chepstow Bridge and Gloucestershire." Hence, the number of real -Lordships Marchers may, _perhaps_, be fewer or more than are there -mentioned. Herbert, in his _History of Henry VIII._, says that there -were 141 Lordships Marchers. (Kennett's _Compl. Hist._, vol. ii. p. -189.) - -The lordship of Kemes is not, I think, specified in the Act; but I -presume that it is comprehended within some of the descriptions of -lordships in it. Probably it is included in sect. 16. In old writs of -summons to attend the King in his wars, Kemes is associated with Dyvett -or with Llandovery. - -The statute referred to did, in fact, extinguish the most characteristic -privileges of a Lordship Marcher, and reduced it nearly to the level of -an ordinary lordship, with such royalties only as have often been -granted, and are still enjoyed, by Lords of Manors, or honours in other -parts of England and Wales. The franchises left to them are enumerated -in sections 25. and 30., explained by the later statute 1 & 2 Phil. & -Mary, ch. 15. The palatine jurisdiction which they once possessed, and -the exemption from ordinary process, exist no longer; and the various -local customs prevailing in each lordship, which were repugnant to the -common law of England, must have been almost wholly abolished by the -operation of that Act. The lordships themselves remain in name, and in -little more than in name. - -Hence I am afraid that I. J. H. H.'s friend must be prepared to -surrender the distinction of being the sole surviving Lord Marcher. In -the strict and original sense of the term, there is now no such lordship -in existence. In the sense in which alone the title can now be assumed, -he shares the honour with many others; among others, with the Duke of -Beaufort, who holds the very extensive and important Marcher Seignory of -Gower and Kilvey. - -Probably the number of private lordships of this kind is not now great; -for, at the passing of the above statute, the majority were in the -Crown; and if any have since been re-granted, it is most likely that -their franchises and tenure would be so modified as to leave no vestige -of the Marcher privileges in them. - -The statement of your correspondent suggests to me another doubt. How -could any Lordship Marcher be "erected by Martin of Tours?" Every such -lordship must be of the creation of the Crown, either shown or presumed. -The date of the establishment of these marcherships is so ancient that, -perhaps, no one may have actually seen any document to prove them but -charters of confirmation and inquisitions post-mortem; still the _law_ -refers their origin to specific Crown grants, and not to the act or -authority of a mere subject. If, therefore, Martin, who was a tenant in -capite of the Crown, founded the lordship of Kemes, he must have -done--as the military invaders of Ireland in a subsequent reign -did--conquered the territory with his own arms, and obtained palatine -jurisdiction over it, with the assent and by the authority of the King. - -Let me add, that the MS. treatise in the Harleian Collection (referred -to _ante_, p. 135.) is printed in Pennant's _Wales_, and, more -correctly, in vol. ii. of the _Transactions of the Cymmrodorion -Society_. It is much to be lamented that the treatise on the Lordships -Marchers, bequeathed by Sir Matthew Hale to the Society of Lincoln's -Inn, is not to be found in that library. If the work was composed by -that eminent judge himself, it must be one of the highest value and -authority. Does any one possess it, or a copy of it? - - E.

F----g, curate -of the parish of S----n M----t, Somersetshire. The parish register -informs us that-- - - "On three several Sundays, namely, on the 22nd and 29th days of - July, and the 5th August in the year 1787, banns of marriage were - published in the parish church between J. D. T. M. F----g and H. - V. B----t; and after the third publication, no impediment being - alleged, the said J. D. T. M. F----g and H. V. B----t were - _immediately_ married in the face of the congregation, on the 5th - of August, 1787, by J----n F----g curate." - -The parties' names are appended to the form "This marriage was -solemnised between us;" and then follows, "in the presence of" two -witnesses who signed their names, one of them being the "clark," as he -spelt the word. The event occurred "on a Sacrament Sunday." An aged -parishioner, who was about seventy-four or seventy-five years of age -when my informant wrote, perfectly remembered the ceremony; and added, -that previously to Mr. F.'s return from the Lord's Table to the reading -desk, in order to continue the service, from the Second Lesson, he -exchanged a kiss with his blushing bride! It appears that, owing to -several persons having disputed the _validity_ of this marriage, the -said parties were re-married by the Rev. W. N----s, officiating -minister, on the 9th October in the same year. - -I have heard that Mr. F. was always regarded as an eccentric man, it not -deranged. I think I have heard that the bride was a milk girl, with whom -the reverend gentleman fell in love because "she reminded him of his -first love!" The marriage was decidedly opposed by his relatives and -friends, which led to the above-mentioned singular occurrence. I -believe, before performing the ceremony himself, Mr. F. publicly -inquired "whether there was any one provided to marry him?" As there was -not, he proceeded to the performance of the ceremony himself. - -I have heard also of some such case of a clergyman marrying himself in -Ireland. But the marriage was, I believe, pronounced null and void, and -the clergyman deposed from the ministry. - -Connected with this subject, I would relate another circumstance related -to me as a fact by a clergyman, now a surrogate, who for very many years -was curate of the parish adjoining that in which it occurred. He related -it to justify and to explain his own somewhat unusual practice of using -the _surnames_ as well as Christian names of the parties throughout the -Marriage Service, saying that in the parish of B----y, Gloucestershire, -the not doing so led to the _wrong couple being married_, owing to the -stupidity of the parties and their friends! The rector, Rev. Mr. M----d, -on discovering the mistake, formally pronounced the whole proceeding -null and void, and then married the right couple! - -A correspondent lately inquired whether a person could be buried in a -garden! In N----h, Gloucestershire, such a thing occurred about sixteen -years ago. An eccentric old gentleman built a kind of summer-house in -his garden, and prepared his own tomb in it, and was there buried -according to his directions. I rather think the funeral service was -read, under the express sanction of the bishop, by the rector of an -adjoining parish, who was a friend of the deceased. - - E. W.

DIXON can have made any progress in his inquiries as to Algernon -Sydney, without having met with the "authorities" mentioned by your -correspondent C. E. D.; and yet it is certainly strange that, if MR. -DIXON had seen these authorities, he could have called Sydney "an -_illustrious patriot_." It may be therefore as well to state that the -specific evidence which destroys Sydney's claim to the title not merely -of an "_illustrious patriot_," but even of _an honest man_, and shows -him to have been a corrupt traitor of the worst class, is to be found in -the Appendix to Sir John Dalrymple's _Memoirs_, vol. i. pp. 339. 386. -(8vo edit. 1790), where are transcribed the secret despatches of the -French ambassador, Barillon, to Louis XIV., detailing the _bribes_ by -which he engaged Algernon Sydney to that factious and traitorous -opposition which had, for a hundred years prior to Dalrymple's -publication, passed off for _patriotism_. I shall be very curious indeed -to see what light MR. H. DIXON may be able to throw on this curious and -infamous case; of which the best that even Mr. Macaulay can say is, that -Barillon's _louis d'ors_ were "a temptation which conquered the virtue -and the pride of Algernon Sydney."--_History of England_, vol. i. p. -228. - - C. - -_Cock-and-Bull Stories_ (Vol. v., p. 414.).--It may be doubted whether -Mr. Faber will thank J.

It -must not, however, be allowed to gain a settlement in "N. & Q.," or to -pass for a real explanation, while it is in reality one of the most -unfortunate "cock-and-bull" stories that ever was invented. The truth -is, that Reinerius, a writer of the Middle Ages, lays it to the charge -of the Waldenses that they did not hold the traditions of the Church -and, by way of instance, he specifies that they did _not_ believe (as, -he took for granted, all his orthodox readers _did_) that the cock on -the church steeple was symbolical of a doctor or teacher. Reinerius did -not think of adding a word of explanation about its overlooking the -parish from its elevated position, or of its prescriptive right from the -days of St. Peter to do a pastor's office by reminding men of the duty -of repentance, or of any of the things which writers on symbolism had -said, or might say. He nakedly states, "Item, mysticum sensum in divinis -scripturis refutant: praecipue in dictis et actis ab Ecclesia traditis: -ut quod gallus super campanile significat Doctorem." Mr. Faber, who was -somewhat out of his way in dealing with the thoughts and language of -mediaeval writers, catching a sight of this passage, blundered between a -_bell_ and a _belfry_, put _campanum_ for _campanile_, and thus got an -idea of a "cock-on-a-bell," and that this symbol meant a doctor. -Whereupon it occurred to him to set the world right with the wonderful -discovery which J.

The term in -question is, or was formerly, in provincial use as a metonym for -lendiculosity in a figurative sense--a tetchy, whimsical individual, -being said to be "maggoty," _vulgo_, _mokey_. Lendix has not, however, -in all cases been treated with abhorrence; for one of the elder Wesleys -not only printed a book of rhymes with the title of _Maggots_, but -prefixed to it his portrait, with one of these _animi impetu concitari_ -represented as creeping on the forehead! - - D. - -_Ground Ice_ (Vol. v., p. 370.).--J. C. E. will find a very elaborate -and interesting paper "On the Ice formed, under peculiar Circumstances, -at the bottom of Running Waters," by the Rev. J.

H. - - Hallamshire. - -_Nobleman alluded to by Bishop Berkeley_ (Vol. v., p. 345.).--I beg to -suggest to your correspondent J. M., that this nobleman was Richard -Boyle, third Earl of Burlington, and fourth Earl of Cork, who had a -passion for architecture, and was the architect of numerous buildings in -the metropolis and other parts of the kingdom. He repaired Inigo Jones's -church of St. Paul, Covent Garden. He built the front of Burlington -House in Piccadilly; the dormitory at Westminster School; the Assembly -Rooms at York; and several villas and mansions in various parts of the -country, besides publishing some architectural works. Bishop Berkeley -was introduced to him by Pope about the year 1722, and I believe derived -some benefit from his patronage. His architectural pursuits are alluded -to by Pope in the epistle on the use of riches, which was addressed to -him. - - G. R. J. - -_House at Welling_ (Vol. v., p. 368.).--Inquiry is made about one of our -old English poets, who is said to have lived at the old house in -_Welling_, where there is a _high yew hedge_. - -I am the owner of the house referred to, and have lived here since 1811. -I have never heard the report, but I think that it may have arisen from -the fact, that about eighty years ago a Major _Denham_ possessed the -house. It is possible that he may have been mistaken for his namesake, -_Denham_ the poet. - - ESTE. - -_Constable of Scotland_ (Vol. v., pp. 297. 350.).--In vol. i. p. 175. of -the _Analecta Scotica_ (Edinburgh, 1834) will be found some curious -"fragments relative to the office of Great Constable of Scotland," more -particularly before it became heritable in the noble family of Erroll. - - E. N. - -_The Iron Plate in Lewes Castle_ (Vol. v., p. 342.).--In answer to A. W. -I beg to say that the iron plate was taken from the ruins of a cottage -which was burnt down on the estate of Sir Henry Shiffner some time -since; it formed the fire-back of the kitchen: the inscription was -turned to the wall, and therefore not visible. - -This inscription is a fac-simile of the iron plate placed to the memory -of Ann Forster in the church of Crowhurst in Surrey, and it would appear -that the founder cast several plates similar to that in Lewes Castle, -which are known to exist and be used as fire-backs. See Brayley and -Britton's _History of Surrey_, vol. iv. p. 131., and note at foot of the -same page. - - WILLIAM FIGG. - - Lewes. - -The monumental (cast iron?) plate in Lewes castle, referred to by A. W., -probably came from the church of Crowhurst in Surrey, where there are -several monuments to members of the family of Gaynsford, and there were -(in Sept. 1847, when I visited the building) more than one iron plate in -the pavement with inscriptions of the exact character of that at Lewes, -and with the letters similarly inverted and reversed. My impression is -that I saw the memorial in question in the church; but I cannot now -discover the notes I made on the subject at the time, nor a rubbing -which I took of another iron plate of a more ornate though not less rude -character. I remember, in passing within sight of the church on the -Dover Railway, since 1847, to have noticed scaffolding about the tower; -possibly the plate now at Lewes may have been removed at that time. - - R. C. H. - -The plate was presented to the Antiquarian Museum in Lewes Castle by Sir -H. Shiffner, Bart., about two years ago, when he rescued it from a -farm-house burnt down on his property near Lewes. It has been traced to -a cottage where it previously served the same purpose as at the -farm-house, as back to the fire-place; but no further record of its -former history can be discovered. It is not unusual, however, to find -monumental plates thus desecrated. - - E. A. S. - -_Chelwoldesbury_ (Vol. v., p. 346.).--Allow me to suggest to your -correspondent W. H. K. the possibility that the name in question may -originally have been Ceolwoldsburh or Ceolweardesburh, i.e. _the burgh_ -or _castle of Ceolwold_ or _Ceolweard_, analogously with Brihthelmstun, -now contracted into _Brighton_. The A.-S. _ce_ has constantly been -corrupted into _che_. - - D. - -"_The King's Booke_" (Vol. v., p. 389.).--The printer's account supplied -by MR. BURTT does not relate, except possibly to a very trifling extent, -to the _Basilicon Doron_; but it is evidently Robert Barker's bill, -mainly in the matter of King James's _Apologie for the Oath of -Allegiance_. - - R. G. - -_Key Experiments_ (Vol v., pp. 152. 293.).--In an edition of _Hudibras_ -of 1704 appears the following "annotation" to the line "As Friar Bacon's -noddle was:"-- - - "The tradition of Friar Bacon and the Brazen-head is very commonly - known, and considering the times he lived in, is not much more - strange than what another great philosopher of his name has since - deliver'd of a ring that, being ty'd in a string, and held like a - pendulum in the middle of a silver bowl, will vibrate of itself, - and tell exactly against the sides of the divining-cup the same - thing with, Time is, Time was, &c." - -I have tried this experiment with the ring, and find the oscillation -takes place as described by AGMOND with the shilling. If, however, the -thread is tightly pressed between the finger and thumb, the vibration -ceases. This latter circumstance appears to support AGMOND'S idea, that -the motive power is due to the pulse, the circulation of the blood -ceasing by pressure. - - C. N. S. - -_Rhymes on Places_ (Vol. v., p. 404.).--The places mentioned in the -following lines are all within about four miles of each other in the -county of Gloucester, and twenty years ago the adjectives exactly -described the condition of the people; but the great civiliser, the -steam-engine, has now taken away the force of the description; and -although the first and third lines may be as true as ever, the second -and fourth are not:-- - - "Beggarly Bisley, - Strutting Stroud, - Hampton poor, - And Painswick proud." - - W. H. BAXTER. - -_Old Scots March, &c._ (Vol. v., pp. 280. 331.).--I have to thank both -MR. CROSSLEY and DR. RIMBAULT for their information regarding the -_Ports_, of which I have willingly availed myself by consulting the -various works to which they refer; and I have been fortunate enough to -see a _translation_ of the greater portion of the Straloch lute-book. -Hitherto, however, I have failed in my endeavours to discover two of the -_ports_ mentioned by MR. TYTLER namely, Port _Gordon_ and Port _Seton_, -both of which I am anxious to obtain. - - E. N. - -_Ecclesiastical Geography_ (Vol. v., p. 276.).--Allow me to add to the -list of books on this subject, _Atlas sacer sive ecclesiasticus_, -Wiltsch, published at Gotha in 1843. - - W. S. - -"_Please the Pigs_" (Vol. v., p. 13.).--I am inclined to think that this -phrase has more to do with the animate than the inanimate. It is a -common saying in Devonshire "please the _pixies_," or _fairies_, and -this reference is much more likely; as our ancestors were most -particular in their superstitious attentions to the requirements of this -most mischievous fraternity. - - C. R. - -_The Word Shunt_ (Vol. v., p. 352.) is quite common in the North of -England; in Lancashire it is perhaps especially so. It signifies to -shift, to move, to give way: as, speaking of a thing, a wall or -foundation, which has moved from its position, we should say, "it has -shunted;" or of a thing which requires moving, "Shunt it a little that -way," "Shunt it at the other end." _Shunt_, to move, to slip, to give -way; _shuntu_, they move; _shuntut_, they moved.--See Bamford's -_Lancashire Dialect_: Smith, Soho Square. - -The word _grin_, in the same county, signifies a noose to catch hares or -other game, as well as the act of grinning with the teeth. The word -_gin_ is seldom used, except to express a horse gin-wheel, or the -_blue-ruin_ of the Pandemoniums. - - P. D. - -_Plato's Lines in "Antho.

As this play appears from -Pepys's _Diary_ to have been a great favourite after the Restoration, it -was then most probably that the term came into use. - - J. S. WARDEN. - -_Nuremberg Token, or Counter_ (Vol. v., pp. 201. 260.).--G. H. K. -appears to consider the object of H. C. K.'s Query a tradesman's token. -This is by no means the case. It is a jetton, or counter, such as was -formerly much in use for casting accounts, on a principle very similar -to that of the abacus. They are found in vast numbers in England, but -were principally manufactured at Nuremberg, where a large trade in them -must have been carried on. The greatest manufacturers of the -"Rechenpfennige" were the members of the families of Schultz, Laufer, -and Krauwinckel. Of the three Krauwinckels, the productions of Hans are -most numerous. Many of them have legends of a moral or religious -character, as "Gottes Segen macht reich," God's blessing maketh rich; -"Gott allein die Ehre sey," To God alone be the glory; "Heut rodt, -Morgen todt," To-day _red_, to-morrow dead, &c. The date 1601 occurs on -several of those of Hans K., with mythological devices.--See Snelling's -_Treatise on Jettons, or Counters_. - - J. E. - -The legend on the counter described signifies - - "John Kravwinckel in Nuremberg." - Rx "God's kingdom remains always." - -I know not the signification of the solitary E. Snelling (_Treatise on -Abbey Pieces, &c._) has engraved and described many of these counters, -and to him I must refer H. C. K. Hans means John, and has no reference -to the Hanseatic League. - - W. H. S. - - Edinburgh. - -_Meaning of Lode_ (Vol. v., p. 345.).--_Lode_ and _load_, in Cornwall, -is the name given to the vein that _leads_ in the mine; or, the -_leading_ vein. The word _lode_ is also in common use in Cambridgeshire, -having similar reference to the watercourses by which the fens are -drained. - -_Lodestar._ The pole-star; the _leading_ star, by which mariners are -guided. The magnet is _load-stone_, that is, leading, or guiding stone. -(Nares' _Glossary_.) - - "O, happy fair! - Your eyes are _lode_-stars----." - - _Midsummer Night's Dream._ - - WM. YARRELL. - - Rider Street. - -_Lode_ (Vol. v., p. 345.).--Lode seems to have been anciently used as -signifying merely a ditch to carry off water. (See "Inquisition, 21 -Henry VIII." in Wells's _Hist. of Bedford Level_, vol. ii. pp. 8-17.) -Lode means to carry. (_Promptorium Parvulorum_, ed. Way, p. 310.) The -term _lode_ is now used to signify a navigable ditch. In Cambridgeshire -we have Soham Lode, Burwell Lode, Reach Lode, Swaffham Lode, and -Bottisham Lode. - - C. H. COOPER. - - Cambridge. - -_Mother Damnable_ (Vol. v., p. 151.).--Your correspondent S. WISWOULD -will find some slight information respecting this worthy in Daniel's -_Merrie England in the Olden Time_ (Bentley, 1842), vol. i. p. 217. - -It appears that Mr. Bindley had an unique engraving of her, and that a -well-known alehouse at Holloway (of which a token is extant, with the -date 1667) was sacred to her memory as Mother Redcap, as well as that in -the Hampstead Road. - - JOHN EVANS. - -_Monuments of De la Beche Family_ (Vol. v., p. 341.).--The monuments -referred to by AEGROTUS are in the church of Aldworth: the effigies are -certainly remarkable, especially one for its size and attitude. Another -noticeable circumstance is that most of the figures are of older date -than the tombs on which they lie, or than the church which contains -them. The building consists of a nave and south aisle; and, at the time -of its original construction, three canopied recessed tombs were -introduced in each of the side walls to receive the effigies which must -have existed in the older church. The style of the architecture belongs -to the age of Edward III. There are nine figures altogether, some of -them greatly mutilated. They are not entirely unknown to archaeologists. - -I may take this opportunity of calling attention to another very fine -monumental effigy, of which I believe no moderately good representation -has been published, at Tilton in Leicestershire. There are two figures -in the church of as early dates as those at Aldworth, one an armed male, -and the other a female. The former is in "edgering" mail, and is of good -character; but the latter is of superior design, and very well executed, -though unfortunately in a coarse material. The right arm is bent, and -the hand brought up to the breast; the left hangs naturally by the side, -and has the fore-arm and (bare) hand exposed from among the folds of the -drapery. Slight traces of colour are discoverable. - - R. C. H. - -The village of Aldworth, in Berkshire, where the effigies of the De la -Beche family are to be seen, is about five miles from the Goring -Station, on the Great Western Railway, _via_ Streatley. Hewett's -_Hundred of Compton_ furnishes a very interesting account of the ten -monumental effigies which represent various members of the ancient -family of De la Beche in that church, and will be read with no small -pleasure. - - FRANCIS POCOCK. - - Stanford. - -_Coke and Cowper_ (Vol. iv., pp. 24. 76. 93. 244. 300.).--However -affected it may appear, these words have been more generally pronounced -_Cook_ and _Cooper_. - -J. H. L. (Vol. iv., p. 76.) adduces the instance of _Cowper_ being made -to rhime to _Trooper_. And I have just stumbled upon a passage in -_Cowley_ where _Coke_ is the answering word to _Took_. - - "May he - Be by his father in his study _took_ - At Shakspear's plays instead of my Lord _Coke_." - - "Sylva; a Poetical Revenge," p. 44., - _Works_, Part II., London, 1700, fol. - - RT. - - Warmington. - -_Monumental Portraits_ (Vol. v., p. 349.).--Fully agreeing with my -friend H. H. in his opinion of the brass of the Abbess of Elstow, -considered as a portrait, I should yet be glad if your correspondents -would send to "N. & Q." the names of any effigies which may appear to -them exceptions to the rule of conventional portraiture, especially if -of earlier date than the latter half of the sixteenth century. H. H. has -mentioned one, Nicholas Canteys, 1431, at Margate: and I am inclined to -add another in the well-executed little brass of Robert de Brentingham -at East Horsley, Surrey; this is about the date of 1380. The artists of -that time, in brasses as well as in painted glass, wood-carving, &c., -may have sometimes desired to produce a portrait, but certainly they -seldom succeeded: a religious severity of expression atoned for the -deficiency. In English coins it is well known that there is no -appearance of a portrait before the reign of Henry VII. - -The particular _costume_, however, of the deceased was more attended to -in monumental effigies; and it is this fact which renders the study of -them so serviceable towards a knowledge of the manners and habits of our -ancestors. Care was even taken not to omit any peculiarity which may -have distinguished the deceased; of which the long beard of Sir Wm. -Tendring, at Stoke, by Layland, is perhaps an instance, and many others -might be quoted. If any decided portraits are known in _stone effigies_, -it would I think be desirable to communicate such to the pages of "N. & -Q." - - C. R. M. - -_Motto on Chimney-piece_ (Vol. v., p. 345.)--It does not appear to me -that the mottoes sent by your inquirer C. T. are very difficult to -solve. The first is Latin: - - "VITATRANOVULAESTOLIM." - -He says he is not certain as to one or two letters. I suspect the first -O should be Q, and the V should be I. It will then read: - - "Vita tranquila est olim." - - "Life is henceforth tranquil." - -A very proper motto for a fire-side. - -The second is Italian: - - "VE DAL AM DARO." - -I suspect the R should be T. It will then read: - - "Ve da'l amico dato." - - "Given to you by the friend." - -If the word is _daro_, it will be-- - - "I will give it to you from the friend." - - JAMES EDMESTON. - - Homerton. - -The arms given by your correspondent C. T. are those of Cavendish -(quartering Clifford), one of that family having been created Earl of -Newcastle in 1610. Becoming shortly after extinct, John Holles, Earl of -Clare (who had married the heiress of Cavendish), was created by King -William III. in 1694 Marquis of Clare and Duke of Newcastle. - -Might not the chimney-piece have adorned a mansion of the Cavendish -family, who probably resided in Newcastle during the period above -alluded to? - -The motto underneath (which is _not_ the family motto of Cavendish) -certainly at first sight looks puzzling enough; will the following -solution suffice, which I merely throw out as a first thought that may -lead to a better elucidation? - - "Vita: tran: ovula: est: olim." - -Presuming "ovula" to be the diminutive of _ovum_ (I am not sure if I am -correct), and "tran" (if correctly transcribed) to be a component part -of one of the numerous compounds of _trans_ (say _transitorius_), may -not the passage be _freely_ translated: "(Our) transitory life (was) -once (as mysterious, or hidden, or minute as) is (the germ of vitality) -in an egg?" - -If C. T. could give a description of the second coat, some connecting -link may possibly be supplied toward unravelling the motto. - - HENRY W. S. TAYLOR. - - Southampton. - -"_Ve dal am daro_" (Vol. v., p. 325.).--One of the mottoes which puzzle -your correspondent C. T. is Welsh, and means that _retribution will -follow violence_: "he will pay (_i.e._ suffer) for striking." - - [Greek: S.] - -_White-livered_ (Vol. v., pp. 127. 403.).--Bishop Ridley, in his -conference with Bishop Latimer, whilst they were confined in the Tower, -makes use of the expression: "For surely, except the Lord assist me with -His gracious aid in the time of His service, I know I shall play but the -part of a _white-livered knight_." - - CARL. - -_Enigmatical Epitaphs_ (Vol. v., p. 179.).--The brasses of John -Killyngworth, 1412, formerly in Eddlesborough Church, now in Pitson -Church, Bucks; and of a priest at St. Peter's, near St. Alban's, have -this inscription upon them: - - "Ecce quod expendi habui, quod donavi habeo, quod negavi punior, - quod servavi perdidi." - -That at St. Alban's has an English translation: - - "Lo, all that ever I spent, that sometime had I; - All that I gave in good intent, that now have I; - That I never gave, nor lent, that now aby[3] I; - That I kept till I went, that lost I." - - [Footnote 3: So in my authority.] - -The same inscription is on a brass as late as 1584, at St. Olave's, Hart -Street, London.

E., is a very _early_ representation of the pelican -feeding her young with her own blood: an emblem of Christ's love for His -church. The stone was dug out of the ruins of the Abbey. - -In Parker's _Glossary_ the symbol is explained by a quotation from -_Ortus Vocabulorum_: - - "Fertur, si verum est, eam occidere natos suos, eosque per triduum - lugere, deinde seipsum vulnerare, et aspercione sui sanguinis - vivos facere filios suos." - - H.

N. - -_The Term "Milesian"_ (Vol. iv., p. 175.).--I beg to direct your -attention to the accompanying extract, which furnishes a reply to MR. -FRASER'S Query:-- - - "Whoever is acquainted with Irish history, or whoever has had - opportunities of mixing with the natives of that country, cannot - be ignorant that they claim a descent from a long race of Milesian - kings, who reigned over them for thirteen centuries before the - Christian aera. The stock from which this long line of monarchs - emanated is traced to a pretended Milesian colony, supposed to - have emigrated from Spain into Ireland under the conduct of - Heremon and Heber. The most rational inquirers, however, into the - subject consider it as nothing more than a tissue of imaginary - events, originating in the fertile fancies of their bards. A very - brief and general abstract of this contested part of Irish history - shall be given in the words of Mr. Plowden: - - "'About 140 years after the Deluge, Ireland was discovered by one - Adhua, who had been sent from Asia to explore new countries by a - grandson of Belus: he plucked some of the luxuriant grass as a - specimen of the fertility of the soil, and returned to his master. - After that the island remained unoccupied for 140 years; and about - 300 years after the Flood, one Partholan, originally a Scythian, - and a descendant from Japhet in the sixth generation, sailed from - Greece with his family and 1000 soldiers, and took possession of - the island. They all died off, and left the island desolate of - human beings for the space of thirty years. Afterwards different - sets of emigrant adventurers occupied and peopled the island at - different periods. About 1080 years after the Deluge, and 1300 - B.C., Niul (the son of Phenius, a wise Scythian prince), who had - married a daughter of Pharaoh, inhabited with his people a - district given to him by his father-in-law on the Red Sea, when - Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. The descendants of that - Phenius (called more generally Feniusa Farsa) were afterwards - expelled by Pharaoh's successors on account of their ancestors - having favoured the escape of the Israelites through the Red Sea. - They then emigrated and settled in Spain, whence, under the - command of Milesius, a colony of them sailed from Brigantia in - Galicia to Ireland, gained the ascendancy over the inhabitants, - and gave laws and a race of monarchs to the island. The Milesian - dynasty continued to govern Ireland without interruption till - about the year 1168, when it ceased in the person of Roger - O'Connor, and the sovereignty was assumed by our Henry II. Of this - race of kings the first 110 were Pagan, the rest Christian.'" - - Barlow's _Hist. of Ireland_, vol. i. pp. 22-4. - - GEORGE RICHARDS, M.A. - - Queen's Coll., Birmingham. - -_Title of D.D._ (Vol. ii., p. 13.).--The remark of your correspondent -EYE-SNUFF, "that any lay scholar of adequate attainments in theology is -competent to receive this distinction, and any university to bestow it -upon him," is incorrect in two ways, as far as the university of which I -am a member is concerned. A reference to the Oxford University Calendar, -or to the Statutes of the University, will show him that no one can take -the degree of B.D., or D.D., without first exhibiting his letters of -priest's orders: and the theological attainments represented by the -degree D.D. are next to nothing; the exercise required for B.D. used to -be a mere form, and I believe is little more now; a certain number of -terms kept in the university, and payment of certain fees, being all -that is necessary for proceeding D.D. The case is the same, I imagine, -at Cambridge. - - W. FRASER. - -_Lass of Richmond Hill_ (Vol. ii., p. 103.).--I have heard it said, of -course with little regard to probability, that this once popular song -was written by George IV. when Prince of Wales. - - W. FRASER. - -_A Bull_ (Vol. ii., p. 441.).--I have heard it argued that the word -_bull_, meaning an incoherent blunder, was derived from the Pope's -Bulls, the tyrannical contents and imperious tone of which often made so -odd a contrast with the humility of the subscription, "Servus servorum -Dei," that the name _bull_ was applied to anything that seemed absurdly -inconsistent or self-contradictory. - - W. FRASER. - -_Remains of Horses and Sheep in Churches_ (Vol. v., p. 274.).--We have -good evidence that the Saxons used the places of sepulture which they -found in England; and it is well known that Anglo-Saxon remains have -often been discovered in the vicinity of churches, a fact which leads to -the supposition that churches occupied the sites of Pagan temples. The -bones of animals have often been found on and near the sites of our -London churches. - - J. Y. A. - -_Fern Seed_ (Vol. v., pp. 172. 356.).--I am led to think there is an -error in the notice of your correspondent R. S. F. on the above subject. -The seed of St. John's Fearn cannot be gathered on Midsummer Eve, -inasmuch as at that time it is in a merely embryotic state. The seed -attains perfection late in autumn, and it remains attached to the dry -brown stem until shaken off by the autumnal and winter blasts. The -taking of it, therefore, is not, according to those versed in such -mysteries, the easy task of a Midsummer twilight, but must be performed -amid the darkness of a winter's night. On the midnight of Saint John the -Evangelist, to whom the seed and plant are dedicated, must it be shaken, -not pulled, from its stem. Very probably mystic virtues were imputed to -the seed before the introduction of Christianity. And it were not -perhaps hazarding too much to suppose that the old superstitious monks -assigned it to Saint John from an idea that the potency of the seed -might have influenced the wondrous revelations with which he, more than -any other of the disciples, or all the disciples, was favoured. - - B. - - - - -Miscellaneous. - - -NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. - -The Camden Society, of which the fourteenth Annual Meeting on Monday -last passed off most successfully, has just issued to its Members _The -Chronicle of The Grey Friars of London_, edited from a MS. in the -Cottonian Library in the British Museum. This very interesting document, -which altogether escaped the research of the industrious and voluminous -Strype, though it had passed through the hands of Stowe, who had either -the possession or the loan of the original MS., was written by one of -the Grey Friars, who appears to have watched narrowly, and recorded -carefully, the religious changes of the times, more particularly, those -which occurred within the sphere of his personal observation in the city -of London, and the metropolitan church of St. Paul. As he retained -possession of his register, and continued his labours after the -dissolution of his house, and the dismissal of the rest of his -fraternity, he has preserved to us many particulars of great historical -value; and his work has this additional claim to attention, that, -whereas the majority of the existing documents are records of the -Reforming party, this comes from one of the Reformed, and presents us -accordingly with the other side of the case. The work is edited by Mr. -J. G. Nichols, whose name is a sufficient guarantee for the fidelity -with which the document is printed, and the learning and care bestowed -upon its illustration. - -_The Publications of the Antiquarian Etching Club._--Part III., 1851, -presents us with no less than thirty-three etchings by Members of the -Club (of course of various degrees of merit), of objects of antiquarian -interest, comprising Ecclesiastical, Military, and Domestic Edifices, -Fonts, Sepulchral Monuments, Portraits, Fac-similes, copies of rare -prints, and numerous other vestiges of antiquity calculated at once to -instruct the archaeologist, and preserve in a pictorial form a record of -much which, but for the _burins_ of the members of this useful little -Society, might have been lost for ever. - -It is but a few weeks since we noticed the admirable second volume of -the _Catalogue of the London Library_, by Mr. J. G. Cochrane. We have -now to record the death of that gentleman on Tuesday last. He was a most -worthy man, and a good scholar; and possessed a vast fund of -bibliographical knowledge. His death therefore will be felt, not only by -his own immediate friends, but also by the institution which he had -served so ably and so zealously ever since its formation. - -It would be treason to the Brothers Grimm, and to our own love of the -literature of the people, if we did not notice and (as it deserves it) -say a good word of a new and complete translation of the world-renowned -_Kinder und Haus Maehrchen_, which Messrs. Addey have commenced -publishing under the title of Grimm's _Household Stories_. They are very -faithfully translated from the last edition; and we specify this because -the little _Almaine 4to._ first edition of 1819 has long been one of our -household books, and finding that the translation did not agree with the -versions there given, we have compared it with the edition of 1843, and -so discovered, first, that the translator has used the later edition; -and secondly, what we were not till now aware of, namely, that these -great scholars, Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm, amid their more learned -labours, have not disdained to revise and enlarge their collection of -nursery stories, which have been the delight of the children of all -Europe. What a justification is this for the attention which is bestowed -in "N. & Q." on our own English Folk Lore! - - -BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES - -WANTED TO PURCHASE. - -FABRICII BIBLIOTHECA LATINA. Ed.
