If not, I would refer them to the -delightful pages of old Froissart, where, in the version of Lord Berners, -they will see chronicled at length,-- - - "How Kyng John of Fraunce was taken prisoner at the Batayle of - Poyeters; how the Englyshmen wan greatly thereat, and how the Prince - conveyed the Frenche Kyng fro Burdeaux into Englande." - -I am induced to bring under the notice of your readers a curious roll, -containing one year's expenditure (July 1, 1359, to July 8, 1360) incurred -by the French king during his captivity in England. This important document -has been very recently printed in the _Comptes de l'Argenterie_, and edited -from a MS. in the Bibliotheque Nationale by M. Douet d'Arcq for the -_Societe de l'Histoire de France_. It may perhaps be well to state, that -after the battle of Poitiers the heroic Prince Edward conducted his royal -prisoner to Bordeaux, where he remained till the end of April, 1357. On the -24th of May following they both made their entry into London, "the Frenche -Kynge mounted on a large whyte courser well aparelled, and the Prince on a -lytell blacke hobbey (_haquenee_) by hym." John was lodged at first at the -Savoy Palace, but was removed shortly afterwards to Windsor Castle, at -which place he was allowed to "go a huntynge and a haukynge at hys -pleasure, and the lorde Phylyp his son with him." The document in question -refers to the years 1359 and 1360, when the king was confined at Hertford -Castle, at Somerton Castle in Lincolnshire, and lastly in the Tower of -London. As this document, which is so intimately connected with a favourite -portion of our history, has, I believe, received no notice from any English -journal, and as it moreover affords many valuable illustrations of domestic -manners, and of the personal character of the royal captive, I have made a -few extracts from it for insertion in "N. & Q.," in the {506} hope that -they may prove interesting to the numerous readers of that useful and -entertaining work. - - "_Pigeons._--A 'varlet Anglois' presents the king with '2 paire de - pijons blans,' and receives in reward 1 noble, value 6s. 8d. - - _A dainty dish of Venison and Whale._--Pour le marinier qui admena par - mer, a Londres, venoisons et balainne pour le Roy, 4 escuz. - - _A present of Venison from Queen Philippa._--Un varlet de la royne - d'Angleterre qui asporta au Roy venoison que elle li envoioit, pour - don, 13s. 4d. - - _The Baker's Bill._--Jehan le boulenger, qui servi de pain a Londres le - Roy, par 2 mois ou environ, 5s. 2d. - - _Sugar._--32 livres de sucre, a 10d. ob. livre=33s. 4d. _N.

(Vide Warton's _Eng. -Poetry_, vol. i. p. 90.)] - -{507} - - * * * * * - -WAY OF INDICATING TIME IN MUSIC. - -The following rough mixture of Notes and Queries may serve to excite -attention to the subject. The merest beginner is aware that the letter C, -with a vertical line drawn through it, denotes _common time_; in which he -will take the C for the first letter of _common_. The symbols of old music -are four: the circle, the semicircle, and the two with vertical lines drawn -through them. After these were written 2 or 3, according as the time was -double or triple. And instead of a bar drawn through the circle or -semicircle, a central point was sometimes inserted. All these are true -facts, whether connected or unconnected, and whether any implication -conveyed in any way of stating them be true or false. The C, with a line -through it, certainly did not distinguish common time from triple. Alsted, -in his _Encyclopaedia_ (1649), says that it means the _beginning of the -music_; without any reference to time. Solomon de Caus, known as having had -the steam-engine claimed for him, but who certainly wrote on music in 1615, -found the circles, &c. so variously used by different writers, that he -abandons all attempt at description or reconciliation. - -May I suggest an origin for the crossed C? In the oldest church music, it -often happens that the lines are made to begin with a vertical line -impaling two lozenges, with a third lozenge between them, but on one side. -It is as if in the three of diamonds the middle lozenge were removed a -little to the left, the upper and lower ones sliding on a vertical line -until they nearly touch the removed middle one. Now if this figure were -imitated _currente calamo_, as in rapid writing, it would certainly become -an angle crossed by a vertical line; which angle would perhaps be rounded, -thus giving the crossed semicircle. Has this derivation been suggested? Or -can any one suggest a better? - -But, it will be said, whence comes the full circle? It is possible that -there may have happened in this case what has happened in others: namely, -that a symbol invented, and firmly established, before the partial disuse -of Latin, may have been extended in different ways by the vernacular -writers of different countries. This has happened in the case of the words -_million_, _billion_, _trillion_, &c. The first, and the root of all, was -established early, and while no vernacular works existed, and it has only -one meaning. The others, certainly introduced at a later time, mean -different things in different countries. May it not have been that the -variety of usage which De Caus notes, may have arisen from different -writers, ignorant of each other, choosing each his own mode of deriving -other symbols from the crossed semicircle, obtained as suggested by me? I -am fully aware of the risk of such suggestions--but they have often led to -something better. - -M. - - * * * * * - - -Minor Notes. - -_A smart Saying of Baxter._--In his _Aggravations of Vain Babbling_, -speaking of gossips, Baxter says: - - "If I had one to send to school that were sick of the talking evil--the - _morbus loquendi_--I would give (as Isocrates required) a double pay to - the schoolmaster willingly; one part for teaching him to hold his - tongue, and the other half for teaching him to speak. I should think - many such men and women half cured if they were half as weary of - speaking as I am of hearing them. _He that lets such twattling swallows - build in his chimney may look to have his pottage savour of their - dung._" - -B. B. - -_Latin Hexameters on the Bible._--The verses given under this title by LORD -BRAYBROOKE, in Vol. v., p. 414., remind me of a similar method which I -adopted, when at school, in order to impress upon my memory the names of -the Jewish months. The lines run thus:-- - - "Nisan Abib, Iyar Zif, Sivan, Thammuz, Ab, Elul; - Tisri, Marchesvan, Chisleu, Thebeth, Sebat, Adar." - -The first verse commences with the first month of the ecclesiastical year, -the second with the first month of the civil year. - -A. W. - -_Ancient Connexion of Cornwall and Phoenicia._--The effort to trace the -ancient connexion of countries by the relics of their different customs, -would be amusing if not useful. The fragment of the voyage of Hamilcar the -Carthaginian confirms the trade of the Phoenicians with Cornwall for tin. -The Roman writers still extant confirm it. The traffic was carried on by -way of Gades or Cadiz, the Carthaginians being the carriers for the -Phoenicians. In Andalusia to this day, middle-aged and old men are -addressed _Tio_, or uncle; as _Tio Gorge_, "Uncle George." This custom -prevails in Cornwall also, and only there besides. Is not that a trace of -the old intercourse? Again, clouted cream, known only in the duchy of -Cornwall, which once extended as far as the river Exe in Devon, is only -found besides in Syria and near modern Tyre, whence the same tin trade was -carried on. These are curious coincidences. Many of the old Cornish words -are evidently of Spanish origin: as _cariad_, _caridad_, charity or -benevolence; _Egloz_ or _Eglez_, a church; _Iglesia_ or _Yglezia_, and many -others, which seem to bear a relation to the same intercourse. - -The notice respecting the word _cot_ or _cote_,--termination of proper -names in a particular district in Cornwall,--already mentioned in these -pages, supposed to be Saxon from the idea that its use was confined to one -district, which I have shown to be a mistake, may be from the Cornish word -_icot_, "below," in place of the Saxon _cote_ or _cot_, "cottage." Thus, -_goracot_ is probably from _gora_ or _gorra_, and _icot_, i. e. "down -below." {508} _Trelacot_ from _Tre_, "a town," and _icot_, "below." The _l_ -was often prefixed for sound sake: as _lavalu_ for _avalu_, "an apple;" -_quedhan lavalu_, "an apple tree;" _Callacot_, from _cala_, or _calla_, -"straw," and _icot_. The introduction of the vowel _a_ for _i_ might be a -corruption in spelling after the sound. This is only surmise, but it has an -appearance of probability. - -CYRUS REDDING. - -_Portrait of John Rogers, the Proto-Martyr._--Should you think the -following minor Note interesting to your correspondent KT., perhaps you -will find a corner for it in your miscellany. - -Living some time ago on the picturesque coast of Dorsetshire, I had the -good fortune to have for a neighbour a lady of cultivated taste and -literary acquirements; among other specimens of antiquity and art to which -she drew my attention, was a portrait, in oil, of John Rogers; it was of -the size called "Kit Cat," and was well painted. This portrait she held in -great veneration and esteem, declaring herself to be (if my memory does not -deceive me) a descendant of this champion of Christianity, whose name -stands on the "muster roll" of the "noble army of martyrs." - -In case KT. should wish to push his inquiries in this quarter, I inclose -you the name and address of the lady above alluded to. - -M. W. B. - -"_Brallaghan, or the Deipnosophists._"--Edward Kenealey, Esq., reprinted -under the above sonorous title (London: E. Churton, 1845) some amusing -contributions of his to _Fraser_ and other Magazines. At pp. 94. and 97. he -gives us, however, the "Uxor non est ducenda" and the "Uxor est ducenda" of -the celebrated Walter Haddon; and that too without the slightest intimation -that he himself was not their author. It is not, I think, fair for any man -thus to shine in borrowed plumes, or at least transcribe verbatim, and -without acknowledgment, from a writer so little known and old-fashioned as -Haddon. Let me therefore give the reference, for the benefit of the -curious: _D. Gualteri Haddoni Poemata_, pp. 70-3. Londini, 1567, 4to. - -RT. - -_Stilts used by the Irish._--We have all heard of the use of stilts by the -shepherds of the Landes; but I have met with _only one_ passage which -speaks of their use in Ireland. I have crossed rivers, both in Scotland and -in Ireland, on stilts, when the water was not deep, and have seen them kept -instead of a ferryboat, when there was no bridge, but do not think they are -in common use at the present day. The passage in question is quoted in -Ledwich's _Antiquities_, p. 300.: - - "I had almost forgotten to notice a very remarkable particular recorded - by Strada (Strada, _Belg._, 1. viii. p. 404., Borlase's Reduction, - 132.). He tells us that Sir Wm. Pelham, who had been Lord Justice of - Ireland, led into the Low Countries in 1586 fourteen hundred wild - Irish, clad only below the navel, and mounted on _stilts_, which they - used in passing rivers: they were armed with bows and arrows. Having - never met with this use of stilts among any other people, it seemed a - matter of curiosity to notice it here." - -EIRIONNACH. - - * * * * * - - -Queries. - -ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD "DEVIL." - -What is the etymology of the word _devil_? This may appear an unnecessary -question, since we have a regular chain of etyma, [Greek: diabolos,] -_diabolus_, _diavolo_, _devil_. But it is the first of this chain that -puzzles me. I am aware that it is considered a translation of [Hebrew: -SAT`AN], and is derived usually from [Greek: diaballein], _calumniare_. But -[Hebrew: SAT`AN] means _adversarius_, consequently the rendering would not -be accurate. As the word in classical writers always means a false accuser, -and never a supernatural agent of evil, I doubt the correctness of the -usual derivations in the case of ecclesiastical usage; and am inclined to -consider it one of the oriental words, in a Hellenistic dress, with which -the Septuagint and Greek Testament are replete. Mr. Borrow, in _Lavengro_, -instances as a reason for believing that divine and devilish were -originally the same words, the similarity of the gypsy word _Un-debel_, -God, and our word _devil_. Struck with this remark, on consideration of the -subject, I perceived that there were several other coincidences of the same -kind, as follows:--The Greek [Greek: daimon] means either a good or bad -spirit of superhuman power. The Zend word _afriti_, "blessed," corresponds -to the Arabic _afrit_, "a rebellious angel." The Latin _divus_, "a god," -(and of course [Greek: Dios], with all its variations,) belongs to the same -family as the Persian _div_, "a wizard or demon;" while the _jin_ or _jan_ -of the _Arabian Nights_ answer to the forms _Zan_, _Zena_, _Zeus_, _Janus_, -_Djana_ or _Diana_. All words denoting deified power, and employed by the -inhabitants of Greece and Umbria. - -These singular resemblances may prove that fetish worship was more widely -spread than is generally believed, and I think justify my doubts as to the -etymology of the word in question. - -RICHARD F. LITTLEDALE. - -Dublin. - - * * * * * - -FORGED PAPAL SEAL. - -An old seal was discovered some years ago by accident in the ruins of an -abbey in the south of Ireland, of which the followings is a description. -The workmanship is rude, the material a species of bronze. The impression -consists of a circle of raised spots: on either side are two venerable -human faces, both bearded; there is a rude cross between them. Above them -are the letters-- - - "S - P - A - S - P - E." - -{509} These are supposed to stand for "St. Paul" and "St. Peter." It is -said that this seal was used for the purpose of affixing an impression to -an instrument which pretended to be a Papal Bull: in fact, that it was used -for forging Pope's Bulls. One of the objects of such forgeries (if they -really occurred) would be, to grant dispensations for marriages on account -of consanguinity. Some noble families in Ireland had very ancient Papal -dispensations of this nature. It would often be convenient that -extraordinary despatch should be used in obtaining a dispensation. - -Can any of your correspondents compare the seals on those dispensations -with the above, or throw any light on the practice of dispensing with the -ecclesiastical law against consanguineous marriages? - -H. F. H. - -Wexford. - - * * * * * - -A PASSAGE IN "ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL." - -Will MR. SINGER favour me with the information where the proposed -emendation, referred to by him in "N. & Q.," Vol. v., p. 436., in _All's -Well that ends Well_, _infinite cunning_ for "insuite comming," of the -folio 1623, is to be met with? If it be in the _Athenaeum_ it has escaped -my observation, although I have turned over the pages of that able -periodical carefully to find it. I have a particular reason for wishing to -trace the suggestion, if I can, to the source where it originated. Owing to -an accident, which it is needless to explain, the number of "N. & Q." -containing MR. SINGER'S communication did not meet my eye until this -morning. - -J. PAYNE COLLIER. - -May 22. 1852. - - * * * * * - -SURNAMES. - -I have to thank many of your readers who have favoured me with private -letters on this subject since the printing of the prospectus of my -_Dictionary of Surnames_ in your columns; and before troubling you with a -string of Queries, I would briefly refer to two or three points in the kind -communications under this head in "N. & Q." of May 1. E. H. Y. will find -the question, _sur_name or _sir_name, slightly touched upon in my _English -Surnames_ (3rd edit., vol. i. p. 13.), and argued at length in the -_Literary Gazette_ for Nov. 1842, in a correspondence originating out of a -notice of the first edition of my book. I think the balance of evidence is -in favour of _sur_name; that is, a name superadded to the personal or -baptismal appellation, which applies with equal propriety to the sobriquets -given to monarchs and distinguished men, and to the hereditary designations -of people of humble rank. Alexander _Mitchell_, your groom, is no other -than Alexander the Great; and Bill _Rowse_, your errand-boy, is the -namesake of the Red King who fell in the New Forest; the only difference -being, that the plebeians inherit their second name from their ancestors, -while the magnates enjoy theirs by exclusive right. I do not think, -therefore, that the distinction contended for by E. H. Y. is either -necessary or desirable: indeed I consider _sire_name as a mere play upon a -mis-spelt word. In saying this, I would by no means disparage your -excellent correspondent, whose communications I always read with pleasure I -might add, that the distinction of "nomen patris additum proprio," -_sire_name, and "nomen supra nomen additum," surname, is by no means new. - -I cannot quite agree with E. S.'s suggestion as to the desirableness of -omitting the names derived from Christian names, this being one of the most -interesting branches of my inquiry. I have already shown that from ten to -thirty family names are occasionally found to proceed from _one_ baptismal -appellation; and at least half a dozen of the names to which E. S. calls my -attention for explanation are so derived. To the termination _-cock_, -occurring in so many names, I have already given attention, and the result -may be seen in _Eng. Surn._, vol. i. pp. 160. to 165., both inclusive. - -To the surnames derived from extinct or provincial words designating -employments, I am paying considerable attention; but although I am -tolerably well acquainted with our mediaeval writers, and their -glossarists, there are many names ending in _er_ (generally having in old -records the prefix _le_), which have hitherto baffled my etymological -skill. - -W. L.'s remarks support the statements made in _Eng. Surn._, vol. i., p. -38. _et seq._, to show that family names have scarcely become hereditary, -in some parts of England, even now, in the middle of the nineteenth -century. Without occupying your valuable space unduly, I would now submit -the following Queries:-- - -1. What book gives any rational account of the origin of the Scottish -clans, and their distinctive or family names? I know Buchanan's work, but -it gives very little information of the kind desired. _Any_ authentic -particulars regarding Scottish names will be acceptable. - -2. What is the real meaning of _worth_, which forms the final syllable of -so many surnames? I have seen no less than six explanations of it, which -cannot all be correct. - -3. Are there any works (besides dictionaries) in the Dutch, German, and -Scandinavian languages which would throw light upon the family names of -this country? - -4. What is the best compendious gazetteer or topographical dictionary of -Normandy extant? - -5. Is anything known of a collection of surnames made by Mr. Cole, the -antiquary, in the last century? It is mentioned in Collet's _Relics of -Literature_, 1823. {510} - -6. Can any reader of "N. & Q." explain the following surnames, which are -principally to be found so early as the reign of Edward I.?--Alfox, Colfox, -Astor, Fricher, Grix, Biber, Bakepuz, Le Chalouner, Le Cayser, Le Cacherel, -Trelfer, Metcalfe, Baird, Aird, Chagge, Le Carun, at Bight. - -MARK ANTONY LOWER. - -Lewes. - - * * * * * - - -Minor Queries. - -_Owen, Bishop of St. Asaph._--To what family belonged John Owen, Bishop of -St. Asaph, mentioned in Winkle's _Cathedrals_ with so much honour? His -father Owen Owen was Archdeacon of Anglesea, rector of Burton Latymer. I -cannot find either name in the printed pedigrees of the various families of -Owen, nor in such of the Harl. MSS. as I had time to examine. Wanted, the -bishop's arms and crest, and any reference to his pedigree. It is said by -Winkle that his monument is under the episcopal throne in St. Asaph's -cathedral. He died 1651, and his father 1592. - -URSULA. - -_St. Wilfrid's Needle in Yorkshire_,--"where they used to try maids, -whether they were honest." (_Burton._) Does this stone exist? "Ancient -writers do not mention," says Lingard, "Stonehenge, Abury, &c., as -appendages to _places of worship_ among the Celtae," therefore may it not -be that these remains of antiquity were devoted to vain superstitions of -the ignorant people, if not to gloomy rites of the officiating priests of -the British Druids? The gigantic obelisks of single stones, called the -"Devil's Arrows," near Boroughbridge, and the assemblage of rocks called -Bramham Crags, a few miles north-west of Ripon, are considered to have been -Druidical. Is St. Wilfrid's either of these? and can farther information -about this rock be afforded? - -B. B. - -_Governor of St. Christopher in 1662._--Will any one be so kind as to -inform me who was the governor of the island of St. Christopher in the year -1662? I have an original, but unsigned letter, from him to the contemporary -Dutch governor of St. Martin's, demanding reparation for an outrage of most -extraordinary nature. He complains that the Dutch had seized and _reduced -to slavery_ the crew and passengers of an English ship during a time of -peace. Is anything known of this affair, or is there any means of -discovering the names of the colonial governors of that age?

Its strongest appearance of authenticity -arises from the tedious pedantry of the ancient Lutheran pastor, its -supposed author, which not only renders the perusal heavy, but also lets in -various things unsuited to the decorum of modern manners. If a pure -forgery, my inquiry extends to _the motives_ of a fabrication, tedious to -both reader and writer. - -A. N. - -_Coffins for General Use._--In the parish church of Easingwold, Yorkshire, -there was within the last few years an old _oaken shell_ or _coffin_, -asserted to have been used by the inhabitants for the interment of their -dead. After the burial, the coffin was again deposited in the church. Are -there any other well-authenticated instances of a similar usage? And do the -words of the rubric in the Order for "the Burial of the Dead," "When they -come to the grave, while the corpse is _made ready to be laid_ INTO _the -earth_," render it probable that such a custom was generally prevalent in -the Anglican church _since_ the Reformation? - -I have met with one corroborative circumstance, in which numbers of bodies -were disinterred in a piece of ground _supposed_ to have been consecrated, -and not a vestige of a coffin was found. - -INCOGNITUS. - -_The Surname Bywater._--Can any of your correspondents furnish me with -particulars relating to the surname "_Bywater_?" - -The earliest period from which I can trace it _direct_ to the present day, -and then only by family tradition, is about the close of the seventeenth -century, or say 1680, about which time "---- Bywater" married Miss Witham, -and resided at Towton Hall, near Tadcaster, Yorkshire, a place celebrated -as being the field of a battle fought between the York and Lancaster forces -on Palm Sunday, 1461. - -Stow mentions, in his _Survey_, that "_John Bywater_" was a Sheriff of -London in 1424. - -Perhaps some of your readers, in Yorkshire or elsewhere, can throw a light -on the subject, or can refer me to a book or MS. where information may be -obtained? - -W. M. B. - -_Robert Forbes._--I should be glad if any of your correspondents could -furnish me with any particulars relative to this talented and eccentric -individual. He was the author of _The Dominie Deposed_, in the Buchan -dialect. On the title-page of that piece he is described as "Robert Forbes, -A.M., Schoolmaster of Peterculter," near Aberdeen. On application, however, -to the Session Clerk of Peterculter, that functionary states that no such -person was ever schoolmaster of that parish. Be this as it may, Forbes was -obliged to leave Scotland on account of an intrigue, which he has -humorously described in his _Dominie Deposed_. He appears to have removed -to London, where he commenced the business of a hosier, in a shop on Tower -Hill, at the sign of the "Book." Here he composed that {511} celebrated -travestie on the _Speech of Ajax to the Grecian Chiefs_, also in the Buchan -dialect: - - "The wight an' doughty captains a', - Upo' their doups sat down; - A rangel o' the commoun fouk - In bourachs a' stood roun." - -I think Forbes states that his place of business on Tower Hill was "hard by -the shop of Robbie Mill." (See Chalmers' _Life of Ruddiman_.) Forbes is -supposed to have died about the year 1750. - -HYPADIDASCULUS. - -_Gold Chair found in Jersey._--I find in Lowndes' _Bibliographer's Manual_ -the following: - - "The most wonderfull and strange Finding of a Chayre of Gold, neare the - Isle of Iarsie, with the true Discourse of the Death of eight seuerall - Men: and other most rare Accidents thereby proceeding. London, 1595, - 4to. 14 pages, including not only the title-page, but a blank leaf - before it, as was frequent about this time." - -Can any one inform me where I can obtain a sight of this tract?

This latter word is the reading of every copy of the authorized -English version that I have been able to consult, including the 12mo. -edition printed for the British and Foreign Bible Society at Oxford. - -No doubt _Judah_ is the right word in this passage. The context requires -it; and it is the reading of forty Hebrew MSS., and of all the ancient -versions, except the Chaldee. It is also the reading of the old English -version by Coverdale. But it has not been adopted by King James's -translators. How has this deviation from their text crept into an edition -emanating from a University press? - -JEROME. - -_When did Sir Gilbert Gerrard die?_--A warrant was issued on the 1st of -July, 1594, to the Lord Treasurer and Sir John Fortescue (see Burghley's -_Diary_) "to inquire what profits had been taken for the office of the -Rolls _betwixt the time of the death of Sir Gilbert Gerrard and the entry -of Sir Thomas Egerton_." Now Sir Thomas Egerton entered on the 10th of -April, 1594, and I have reason to believe that the office had been vacant -for about a year. But I can find no notice of Sir Gilbert's death. He was a -member of Gray's Inn; admitted in 1537, barrister 1539, ancient 1547, -reader 1554, serjeant 1558, attorney-general 1559, Master of the Rolls -1581; and during the interval between the death of Lord Chancellor Hatton -(Nov. 22, 1591) and the appointment of Lord Keeper Puckering (May 28, 1592) -one of the commissioners for hearing causes in chancery. - -JAMES SPEDDING. - -_Market Crosses._--Have these interesting crosses occupied the attention of -any one? Is there any work exclusively upon them? When was the old Market -Cross, at Bury St. Edmunds, taken down? Is there any view of it extant, and -where is it to be seen?

The object of this -communication is to ask for the names of a few specific localities where -that noted misleader of the benighted--_Will O' Wisp_--still continues to -manifest his presence? - -D. - -_Mother of Richard Fitzjohn._--Can any of your readers inform me who was -_the mother_ of Richard {512} Fitzjohn, Lord Fitzjohn, who was summoned to -parliament in 23 Edward I., and died two years after in France? He was the -son of John Fitzjohn Fitzgeoffrey, who died near Guildford in 1258, and who -was the son and heir of John Fitzgeoffrey, Justiciary of Ireland in 1246. -His mother's name is not mentioned in any authorities I have been able to -consult, and I should feel particularly obliged by any one communicating to -me _his mother's name_, and also his _maternal grandmother's name_, if they -have ever been ascertained. - -TEWARS. - -_Quotations wanted._--Can any of your numerous correspondents oblige me -with the information as to where the following may be found: - - "The difficult passages they shun, - And hold their farthing rushlight to the sun." - -Again, this: - - "And like unholy men - Quote scripture for the deed." - -Again, this: The entire epigram said to have been made by Porson on a -Fellow of his college, who habitually pronounced Euphr_[)a]_tes (short) -instead of Euphr[=a]tes.

He wrote the Genealogical - History of the Berkeley Family, in three folio MSS., which Sir William - Dugdale abridged and published in his _Baronage of England_. In three - other folio MSS. he has registered with great exactness _the names of - the lords of manors in the county in the year 1608_, _the number of men - in each parish able to bear arms, with their names, age, stature, - professions, armour, and weapons_. _The sums each landholder paid to - subsidies granted in a certain year_ are set down in another MS. He - likewise committed to writing a very particular account of the customs - of the several manors in the hundred of Berkeley, and _the pedigrees of - their respective lords_. These and some other MSS., which cost him - forty years in compiling, are now (1779) in the possession of Nicholas - Smyth, Esq., the fifth from him in lineal descent." - -I shall feel much obliged to any of your readers who will inform me where -these MSS., or any of them, may now be seen. Those that I particularly want -to inspect are printed in Italics in the above quotation. - -JULIUS PARTRIGE. - -Birmingham. - - [Atkyns, in his _Gloucestershire_, p. 579., states that Smythe's MSS. - were at the time he wrote, A.D. 1712, in the custody of his - great-grandson, Sir George Smith, who generously communicated them to - all that desired a perusal of them. Fosbrooke, however, in the preface - to his _History of Gloucestershire_, published in 1807, speaks of them - as being in the possession of the Earl of Berkeley. He says, "Of the - noblemen and gentlemen who honoured me with support and information, - the Earl of Berkeley's permission to use Mr. Smythe's MSS. in every - important extent has been of essential service." Fosbrooke subsequently - published, in 1821, a quarto volume of _Abstracts and Extracts of - Smythe's Lives of the Berkeleys_ from these manuscripts.] - -_Origin of Terms in Change-ringing._--I shall be obliged by any one -informing me as to the origin and derivation of the terms "plain bob," -"grandsire bob," "single bob minor," "grandsire treble," "caters," -"cinques," _et hoc genus omne_, so well known to campanologists. - -ALFRED GATTY. - - [Our correspondent may probably get some clue to the derivation of - these terms in a work entitled _Campanologia Improved; or the Art of - Ringing made Easy_, third edition, 12mo. 1733.

Now what I want to -ascertain relative to the above facts, is: 1. The date of each; 2. Any -particulars that you or any of your correspondents may be kind enough to -furnish; 3. The name, and station, trade, or profession of the person so -executed. - -As Dr. Bachoffner has now often reiterated the above statement at the -Polytechnic, and as it has always been received (at least when I have been -there) with acclamations of surprise, I have no doubt that the particulars -will interest many of your readers. - -ARTHUR C. WILSON. - - [We have not been able to find any account of the execution for burning - coal noticed by Dr. Bachoffner, which probably took place during the - reign of Edward I., when the use of coal was prohibited by proclamation - at London in the year 1306. These proclamations are noticed in Prynne's - _Animadversions on the Fourth Part of Sir Edward Coke's Institutes_, p. - 182., where it is said, that "in the latter part of the reign of Edward - I., when brewers, dyers, and other artificers using great fires, began - to use sea-coals instead of dry wood and charcoal, in and near the city - of London, the prelates, nobles, commons, and other people of the - realm, resorting thither to parliaments, and upon other occasions, with - the inhabitants of the city, Southwark, Wapping, and East Smithfield, - complained thereof twice one after another to the king as a public - nuisance, corrupting the air with its stink and smoke, to the great - prejudice and detriment of their health. Whereupon the king first - prohibited the burning of sea-coal by his proclamation; which being - disobeyed by many for their private lucre, the king upon their second - complaint issued a commission of Oyer and Terminer to inquire of all - such who burned sea-coals against his proclamation within the city, or - parts adjoining to it, and to punish them for their first offence by - great fines and ransoms; and for the second offence to demolish their - furnaces, kilns wherein they burnt sea-coals, and to see his - proclamation strictly observed for times to come, as the Record of 35 - Edw. I. informs us." On this subject our correspondent should consult - Edington's _Treatise on the Coal Trade_; Ralph Gardiner's _England's - Grievance discovered in Relation to the Coal Trade_; and Anderson's - _Origin of Commerce_.] - - * * * * * - - -Replies. - -ADDISON AND HIS HYMNS. - -(Vol. v., p. 439.) - -Any attempt to divorce Addison from his hymns in the _Spectator_, and to -ascribe them to any other writer, is so great a wrench to the feelings of a -sexagenarian like myself, that the question must at once be set at rest. - -In reply to J. G. F.'s inquiry, these hymns, or a portion of them, were -claimed for Andrew Marvell by Captain Edward Thompson, the editor of -Marvell's works; but a writer in Kippis's edition of the _Biographia -Britannica_ remarks: - - "We shall content ourselves with observing, that any man who can - suppose that the ease, eloquence, and harmony of the ode, 'The Spacious - Firmament,' &c., could flow from Marvell's pen, must be very deficient - in taste and judgment." - -This claim on Captain Thompson's part was to have been considered under the -article "Marvell," but the second edition of the _Biographia_ did not, as -we well know, extend beyond the letter F. - -But though we cannot concede these hymns to Marvell, he must not be -underrated. His downright honesty of character and purpose must ever excite -respect. His biographer strangely introduces him to us as "A witty droll in -the seventeenth century, the son of a facetious gentleman at Hull." In one -respect he resembled our gifted essayist; his style in prose was so -captivating that we are told - - "From the King down to the Tradesman, his _Rehearsal Transposed_ was - read with great pleasure; he had all the men of wit on his side." - -To return to the hymns and the just claims of Addison to the whole of them. - -In the _Spectator_, No. 453., Addison says, - - "I have _already_ communicated to the public some pieces of divine - poetry, and as they have met with a very favourable reception, _I shall - from time to time publish any work of the same nature which has not yet - appeared in print_, and may be acceptable to my readers." - -Then follows the hymn "When all Thy Mercies," &c. Coming from such a man as -Addison, this {514} must be considered as pretty strong evidence of -authorship. - -In the _Spectator_, No. 441., when introducing the hymn "The Lord my -Pasture," &c., Addison observes-- - - "As the poetry of the original is very exquisite, I shall present my - readers with the following translation of it." - -With respect to this composition Bishop Hurd remarks, that Addison's - - "True judgment suggested to him that what he drew from Scripture was - best preserved in a pure and simple expression, and the fervour of his - piety made that simplicity pathetic." - -No doubt seems to have crossed the Bishop's mind as to the authorship. -Sometimes Addison thought fit to throw a little mystery over these hymns. -In _Spectator_, No. 489., after alluding to Psalm cvii. v. 23., "They that -go down to the sea," &c. (which Addison says gives a description of a ship -in a storm, preferable to any other that he has met with), he subjoins his -"divine Ode made by a _Gentleman_ on the conclusion of his travels," "How -are Thy servants blest," &c. - -The verses 4 to 8 are said to refer to the storm which Allison himself -encountered on the Mediterranean, after he embarked at Marseilles in 1700. - -The hymn "When rising from the bed of death," _Spectator_, No. 513, "a -thought in sickness," is contained in a supposed letter from a _Clergyman_, -viz. one of the club, "who assist me in my speculations." - -Tickell, in his exquisite elegy, so worthy of its subject, when asking, - - "What new employments please the unbody'd mind?" - -adds, - - "Or mixed with milder cherubim to glow, - In _hymns of love, not ill essayed below_." - -Were not the very hymns which we are speaking of in Tickell's mind? - -Addison's piety, we may well gather from his writings, was, as Mr. Macaulay -observes, of a cheerful character. The feeling which predominates in all -his devotional papers, is that of gratitude; do we not find it also -strikingly developed in his hymns? We all remember the beautiful lines, - - "Ten thousand thousand precious gifts - My daily thanks employ, - Nor is the least a cheerful heart, - That tastes those gifts with joy." - -Let Bishop Ken and Addison retain their divine hymns--dear as they are, and -let us hope ever will be, to man, woman, and child--whilst the English -language is read or spoken. How greatly is their sublimity heightened, and -their beauty enhanced, when we associate with them the purity of character -and the assemblage of virtues which distinguished their excellent authors! - -J. H. MARKLAND. - - * * * * * - -WITCHCRAFT--MRS. HICKES AND HER DAUGHTER. - -(Vol. v., p. 394.) - -The particulars your correspondent asks for have not been furnished; but on -what authority, _to move the previous question_, does the alleged fact of -such a trial and execution at Huntingdon in 1716 for witchcraft, stated by -Mr. Wills, and adopted by the _Quarterly Rev._, rest? Mr. Wills (_Sir Roger -de Coverley_, Notes, p. 126.) mentions also the execution of two women at -Northampton for witchcraft just before the _Spectator_ began to be -published (March 1, 1710-11), but gives no reference to any original source -to support his statement. On the other hand, Hutchinson, the first edition -of whose _Essay concerning Witchcraft_ was published in 1718, and the -second in 1720, who gives a chronological table of facts, informs us that -the last execution in England for witchcraft was that at Exeter of Susan -Edwards, Mary Trembles, and Temperance Lloyd in 1682 (vid. _Essay_, p. 41., -1st edit.). He was too painstaking a writer to be in ignorance of cases -which had occurred so recently; and he had the assistance, in collecting -his materials, of the two chief justices Parker and King, and Chief Baron -Bury, to whom the work is dedicated. Through their means he must have been -informed of what had taken place on the circuits, if any cases of -witchcraft on which convictions had arisen had actually come before the -judges. When it is remembered what attention was directed to the trial of -Jane Wenham in 1712, who, though condemned, was not executed, and on whose -case a great number of pamphlets were written, it can scarcely be supposed -that in four years after two persons, one only nine years old (I take the -account in Mackay's _Popular Delusions_, vol. iii.), should have been tried -and executed for witchcraft without public attention being called to the -circumstance. I may add that in the _Historical Register_ for 1716, which -notices in the domestic occurrences all trials of interest, there is no -mention of such a case; and that in two London newspapers for 1716, which I -have in a complete series, though enumerating other convictions on the -circuit, I have equally searched without success. As it is a matter of -considerable historical interest to ascertain accurately when the last -execution for witchcraft took place in England, I should be glad if any of -your correspondents would refer me to the authority on which the statements -of the trials circ. 1710 and in 1716 are founded. Mr. Wright, I observe, -does not notice them, and his words are-- - - "The case of Jane Wenham is the last instance of a witch being - condemned by the verdict of an English jury."--_Narratives of Sorcery - and Magic_, vol. ii. p. 326. - -JAS.

STRICKLAND'S third Query, I beg to inform him that among -the original authors who speak of the Dodo as a living bird, Johan Nieuhof -merits a place. His work is entitled: - - "Johan Nieuhofs gedenkweerdige Brasiliaense zee en Lantreize, - behelsende alhetgeen op dezelve is voorgevallen: beneffens een bondige - beschrijving van gantsch Neerlants Brasil, zoo van lantschappen, - steden, dieren, gewassen, als draghten, zeden en godsdienst der - inwoonders; en insonderheit, een wijtloopig verhael der merkwaardigste - voorvallen en geschiedenissen, die zich, geduurende zijn negenjarigh - verblijf in Brasil, in d'oorlogen en opstant der Portugesen, tegen - d'onzen, zich sedert het jaer 1640-1649 hebben toegedragen.

It was dedicated to Nikolaes -Witsen, burgomaster and councillor of Amsterdam; and the licence granted to -Jacob van Meurs, the 14th Dec. 1671, by the states of Hollandt en -Westvrieslandt, is signed "Johan de Wit." - -The copy in my possession consists of two parts in folio, bound together in -parchment, furnished with two indexes, which however do not mention all the -volume contains, for we look in vain for the name _Dodaers_, _Dodo_, or -_Dronte_ in the indexes; and yet we find in the second part, p. 282., a -well-executed representation of this bird, and on the following page we -read: - - "_Dronte of Dodaers._ - - "Op het eilant Mauritius inzonderheit, houdt zeker vogel van een - wonderlijke gestalte, Dronte, en by d'onzen Dodaers genoemt. Hy is van - groote tusschen een vogel-struis en Indische Hoen; en verschilt in - gestalte, en komt ten deele daer mee over-een, ten aenzien van de - veeren, pluimen en staert.

CLARK, I too have kept a sharp look-out for -this curious piece ascribed to Baxter; but having been unable to track it, -I had long since come to the conclusion that its existence was apocryphal. - -The Rev. James Graves, in his _Spiritual Quixote_, written to ridicule -Moravians and Methodists, notes it "as a very good book of old Baxter's," -among several others of questionable identity, forming the library of -Geoffrey Wildgoose's grandmother. - -When we recollect the temptation offered in the quaint and uncouth titles -of the old Presbyterians, we can hardly wonder at their enemies improving -upon them; and in this way, it appears to me, we are to account for the -respectable name of Baxter being popularly attached to a book which -everybody talks about, but which nobody has seen. - -It is again mentioned by Richard Cooksey, in his _Life of Lord Somers_, -Worcester, 1791, and, taking its existence for granted, the author is -astonished that Baxter, whom he extols to the skies, "could so far -condescend to the temper and debased humour of the times as to entitle one -of his tracts _A Shove_, &c. Commenting upon this, Wilson, in his _History -of Dissenting Churches_, London, 1808, is the next who alludes to the book -in question, but merely to shift its authorship from "the famous Richard -Baxter of Kidderminster" to a more obscure individual of the same -name,--described as "an elder (in 1692) of the Particular Baptist -congregation worshipping in Winchester House." Of this person he says, "I -know nothing excepting that he appears to have been a Fifth Monarchy man, -and to have been far gone in enthusiasm." - -Although thus doubting that the author of the _Saints' Rest_ wrote such a -book as that described, I {516} do not deny that there is a piece bearing -the title in existence; but upon it the name of "_William_ Bunyan" figures -as the author. A copy of this was in the Theological Portion of the late -Mr. Rodd's books, sold by Sotheby & Co. in 1850, and bears the imprint of -"London, 1768." This, I am inclined to think, is the only _Shove_ MR. CLARK -is likely to meet with; and although I can give no further account of it, I -am disposed to consider it the spurious catchpenny of some ignorant -scoffer, who, taking his _cue_ from Graves, or rather from some earlier -writer who has noticed it, thought it would be a good _spec._, and -therefore launched into the world _his_ "_Effectual Shove_." - -J. O. - - * * * * * - -GROUND ICE. - -(Vol. v., p. 370.) - -Your Querist J. C. E. is informed that the singular phenomenon of the -formation of ice in the beds of running rivers has not escaped the notice -of scientific observers. M. Arago has devoted a paper to its investigation -in the _Annuaire du Bureau des Longitudes_ for 1832 or 1833, in which he -specifies the rivers in which it has been observed. Indeed, although from -its nature it is likely to escape notice, it is probably of not infrequent -occurrence. Ireland, in his _Picturesque Views of the Thames_, quoting Dr. -Plot, speaks of the subaqueous ice of that river. Colonel Jackson, in the -fifth volume of the _Journal of the Royal Geographical Society_, alludes to -its formation in the Neva, in a paper on the congelation of that river; and -in the following volume of the same Journal is an article by Mr. Weitz, -especially devoted to the ground ice of the rivers of Siberia. More -recently, Mr. Eisdale has contributed the result of his researches upon the -same subject to the _Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal_, vol. xvii.; and, -finally, Dr. Farquharson has made public his observations upon the -ground-gru of the rivers Don and Leochal, in Lincolnshire, in the -_Philosophical Transactions_ for 1835. There is also an article on the -subject in one of the later volumes of the _Penny_ or _Saturday_ Magazines. - -That bodies of running, water, the surface of which solidifies when exposed -to a diminished temperature, should have a tendency to congelate in their -sheltered depths, seems an anomaly which demands inquiry and explanation; -and accordingly each of the above-mentioned writers has raised an -hypothesis more or less probable, to account for the phenomenon. Dr. -Farquharson would attribute it to the radiation of heat from the bottom, as -dew is formed by radiation from the surface of the earth; but a -consideration of the supervening obstacles to radiation--a body of moving -water thickly coated with ice and even snow--destroys the plausibility of -his theory. That of Mr. Eisdale, that the frozen _spiculae_ of the -atmosphere falling into the water become _nuclei_, around which the water -at the bottom freezes, seems merely frivolous. The explanation of M. Arago -is more satisfactory, viz. that the lower currents of water being less -rapid in motion than those intermediate, or at the surface, congelation may -be expected at a lower temperature (say 32deg Fahr.), the process of -crystallisation being favoured by the pebbles, fragments of wood, and the -uneven surface of the river's bed. After all, however, the phenomenon has -been but imperfectly investigated under its various manifestations, and its -real cause probably remains yet to be discovered. - -WILLIAM BATES. - -Birmingham. - -For an explanation of this occurrence, I would refer J.

(p. 447.) appear to have -read MR. HEPWORTH DIXON'S Query about Algernon Sydney either very hastily -or very carelessly. Yet it seems to me plain enough. There is not one word -in it about Barillon or Dalrymple; no inquiry about the home life of -Sydney. As every one knows a great part of his time was spent abroad, it is -probable MR. DIXON thinks that anecdotes and allusions to so conspicuous a -person may occur in the cotemporary letters and memoirs of France, Germany, -Italy, &c., and he asks for references to any such anecdotes or allusions -as may have fallen in the way of readers of "N. & Q." Surely this is -explicit. But what has Dalrymple or Mr. Croker to say in answer to a -question about Sydney's way of life when abroad? That, as I take it, was -the point, and a general discussion as to the character of the author of -the _Discourses on Government_ is _a-propos_ of nothing. As the subject has -been opened, and as I know of none more interesting in the whole range of -English history, I cannot refrain from at least entering one protest -against C.'s description of the "illustrious patriot" as a "corrupt traitor -of the worst class." - -That MR. DIXON is not single in his admiration of the character of Sydney I -could quote many "instances," from our late prime minister downwards. But -the title "illustrious" can scarcely be denied to a man who, besides being -of the best blood in England, played a leading part in the Revolution, and -was one of the closest thinkers and most masculine writers our language has -to show. What makes a man illustrious? Birth, commanding position, -intellect, learning, literary genius? Sydney had them all. But C. thinks -{517} he ought not to be called a patriot. What, do his wisdom and -moderation in the civil war; his opposition to the extreme measures of -Cromwell; his long solitary exile; his glorious death, count for nothing? -There is, however, the charge of taking money from the King of France. No -doubt this is a very "curious case," and I too shall be anxious to see -"what light MR. DIXON may be able to throw on it." The accusation rests on -the sole authority of Dalrymple; and Dalrymple is _not_ a man who can be -taken on his mere word. He was a violent partisan. He hated the Whigs, and -is convicted of having suppressed the truth, when it suited his party or -his passions to misrepresent. The Barillon Correspondence should be again -examined, and, if possible, further particulars of the money payments to -our party leaders obtained. - -S.

E. D. from personal inspection. -The monument to Mary Queen of Scots is still in existence; and consists of -a richly ornamented slab, placed at a considerable height from the -pavement, against a pillar in (I think) the southern transept of the church -of St. Andrew. I was told on the spot that it was erected by two English -ladies, but my informant was silent as to the tradition respecting the -head. In the centre of the carvings which adorn the upper part of the -monument, is inserted a medallion portrait of the beautiful but unfortunate -queen; it is extremely well painted, and represents her in that peculiar -costume so familiar to those acquainted with her accustomed style of dress. -I inclose a copy of the inscription:-- - - "MARIA STUARTA, - Scot. et Gall. Reg. - Jacob. Magn. Britan. Reg. Mater. - Anno 1568, in. Angl. Refugii causa descendens. - Cogna. Elisab. ibi regnavit. - Perfidia senat. et Haeret. post xix. Captivit. Annos. - Relig. ergo. cap. obtrunc. - Martyrium consumavit. Anno D. N. 1587. - Aeta. Regy. 45." - -The wood-carvings, with which this church abounds (especially those of the -pulpit and its accessories), are marvellous efforts of Art. - -M. W. B. - -Having visited the church of St. Andrew at Antwerp during the autumn of -last year, I am able to inform your correspondent C. E. D. (Vol. v., p. -415.) that the monument to which he alludes still exists. - -The portrait of Mary Queen of Scots is above the tablet, which was, I -believe, erected to the memory of Elizabeth Curle; who, after the execution -of her mistress, resided at Antwerp, and was buried in that church. - -F. H. - -The monument dedicated to the memory of their beloved mistress by the two -noble ladies of the household of Mary Queen of Scots, Lady Barbara Mowbray, -the wife, and Elizabeth Curle, the sister, of Gilbert Curle, the queen's -confidential secretary, still exists in the church of St. Andrew at -Antwerp. The history, or rather _story_ of the decapitated head having been -borne away by these ladies, and buried at the foot of the pillar on which -the monument is placed, which is alluded to by your correspondent, is too -apocryphal for belief. There is no reason to suppose that any _head_ of the -queen was carried away by these devoted women into exile, excepting in the -shape of her portrait painted on copper; which, instead of being interred -_beneath_ the monument, is still to be seen placed above the dedicatory -inscription. It is true that in the edition of Descamps' _Voyage -Pittoresque de la Flandre_, published at _Paris_ and _Rouen_ in 1769, it is -stated that the monument was surmounted by "_son buste en marbre_;" but -this error was corrected in the _Antwerp_ edition of 1792, where it is -correctly affirmed to be "_son portrait peint_." - -Mention is made of this crowned portrait, of a circular form, in Mackie's -_Castles and Prisons of Queen Mary_, and of the close resemblance it bears -to another in the possession of Lady Cathcart; who assured Mr. Mackie that -the two portraits were painted by order of the queen, and presented by her -to _two Scottish ladies_, but whose names are not mentioned. - -The following epitaph to the memory of these two faithful servants of the -unhappy queen, has also been preserved by Jacques Le Roy in his _Theatre -Sacre du Brabant_, tom. ii. p. 90. It was copied by him from a blue marble -slab placed over the entrance to the vault in which they were deposited:-- - - "D. O.

KELLET, ETC. - -(Vol. v., p. 457.) - -If BALLIOLENSIS wishes for a more particular account of the Sclater family -than that which follows, I shall be happy to correspond with him upon the -subject. - -_Anthony Sclater, D.D._, was vicar of Leighton Buzzard for fifty years, and -died, aged 100, about 1620. His son-- - -_William Sclater, D.D._, Fellow of King's, and vicar of Pitminster in -Somersetshire, is the person mentioned by Dr. Kellet. He was an exceedingly -learned man, and the author of many theological works (for a list, see -_Bib. Bod. Cat._), some of which were published after his death, _which -occurred in 1627_. There is a curious and interesting account of him in -Fuller's _Worthies_, vol. i. p. 119. (see also _Athenae Oxonienses_). His -son-- - -_William Sclater, also D.D. and Fellow of King's_, was vicar of Collumpton, -Devon, and prebend of Exeter, and appears to have kept up by several works -and sermons the reputation of the family for doctrinal theology.[2] His -son-- - -_Francis Sclater, B.D._ (Fellow of C. C. C. Oxon. May 17, 1667, aet. 17), -was likewise a person of extraordinary learning and abilities, as appears -from several notices, and more particularly from the inscription on a -silver-gilt cup presented to C. C. C. in memory of him by his father; and -from an elegant Latin epitaph which was placed on the south wall of St. -James's, Clerkenwell.[3] He died in 1685, aet. 35, leaving a son-- - -_Christopher Sclater, M.A._, born 1679, rector of Loughton in Essex, and -afterwards of Chingford in the same county. His eldest son-- - -_William Sclater, D.D._, seems (from MSS. still existing) to have inherited -the theological talent of his ancestors, but o. s. p. Richard Sclater, -Esq., the second son of Christopher, was grandfather to William Lutley -Sclater, Esq., of Hoddington House, Hants, the present representative of -the family. By a third son, Christopher Sclater was grandfather to Eliza -Sclater, wife of ---- Draper, Esq., and celebrated for her Platonic -attachment to Lawrence Sterne. From MSS. preserved in the family, it is -clear that she must have been a woman of considerable talent. - -I had always supposed _William Sclater_, the Nonjuror, and author of _An -Original Draught_, &c., to have been a brother of _Francis Sclater_; but, -if it be true that his work was a posthumous publication (as I learn for -the first time from the Note by the EDITOR of "N. & Q."), I think it most -probable that it was his father (the vicar of Collumpton above mentioned), -who would have been about sixty years of age in 1688, and who was certainly -a man of learning and scholarship. - -I have no doubt that Edward Sclater, the pervert of Putney, belonged to the -same family, though I know not in how near relationship. - -The name of Sclater, which is curious, seems to have originated in a place -called Slaughter (olim Sclostre or Sclaughtre, _temp._ King John) in -Gloucestershire, where a family of Sclaughters flourished as lords of the -manor for upwards of 300 years. The arms of both families are: arg. a -saltier az.; crest, an eagle sa. rising out of a ducal coronet. The motto -of the Sclater family (which they owe, no doubt to one of their learned -ancestors) is a Greek quotation from Gal. vi. 14.: "[Greek: ei me en toi -stauroi]." - -About the commencement of the seventeenth century, another branch of the -same family (whose patronymic was Thomas) was settled in Cambridgeshire. -The last male representative of these, Sir Thomas Sclater, Bart., died -without issue in 1684 (see Burke's _Ext. Baronetages_). - -I should be glad of any information respecting the connexion of these two -branches with each other, or of either with the parent stem in -Gloucestershire. I should also be glad of information respecting one Will. -Slatyer, D.D. (whose name is sometimes, I _believe_ erroneously, spelt -Sclater) a very learned person, chaplain to James I., the {519} author of -some curious historical and genealogical works, and a celebrated Hebraist -in those times. He was a cotemporary of Sclater of Pitminster, and died at -Ottenden in Kent about the same time; but it is doubtful whether they were -relations. - -S. L.

In -Harwood he is described as Rector of Bagborough and Crocombe, and Canon of -Exeter. The MS. account is very short. He is there described as "R. of -Rowbarrow, Som.; Can. of Exon.--See his works in _Wood_." - -J. H. L. - - * * * * * - -BIRTHPLACE OF ST. PATRICK. - -(Vol. v., p. 344.). - -From the following extracts I send in answer to your correspondent CEYREP, -there seems to be very great doubt if St. Patrick ever existed in reality, -but that we ought rather to place him in the same category with St. -Amphibalus, St. Denis, &c. Dr. Ledwich relates that-- - - "In Usuard's, and the _Roman Martyrology_, Bishop Patrick, of Auvergne, - is placed at the 16th day of March, and on the same day the office of - the Lateran canons, approved by Pius V., celebrates the festival of a - Patrick, the apostle of Ireland. The 17th of March is dedicated to - Patrick, Bishop of Nola. Had not Dr. Maurice, then, the best reasons - for supposing that Patricus Auvernensis sunk a day lower in the - calendar, and made for the Irish a Patricius Hibernensis? This seems - exactly to be the case. It is very extraordinary the 16th and 17th of - March should have three Patricks, one of Auvergne, another of Ireland, - and a third of Nola! The antiquities of Glastonbury record three - Patricks, one of Auvergne, another archbishop of Ireland, and a third - an abbot. The last, according to a martyrology cited by Usher, went on - the mission to Ireland, A.D. 850, but was unsuccessful: he returned and - died at Glastonbury. If all that is now advanced be not a fardel of - monkish fictions, which it certainly is, the last Patrick was the man - who was beatified by the bigoted Anglo-Saxons, for his endeavours to - bring the Irish to a conformity with the Romish church." - -Dr. Aikin remarks upon this-- - - "The author now ventures upon the bold attempt of annihilating St. - Patrick. It is an undoubted fact, that this saint is not mentioned in - any author, or in any work of veracity, in the fifth, sixth, seventh or - eighth centuries. His name is in Bede's _Martyrology_; but it is more - than probable that that martyrology is not Bede's: nor can it be - conceived that Bede, in his other works, should never notice the signal - service rendered by Patrick to the Roman church, and the signal - miracles wrought by him in its behalf, if he had ever heard of them; - for the old venerabilis was zealously devoted to that church and its - mythology." - -The saint certainly vanishes into "an airy nothing," if we are to credit -the above authors. I have also consulted Ware, a Roman Catholic writer, -author of the _Antiquitates Hibernicae_, and nowhere can I find a trace of -St. Patrick's birthplace, although he is frequently mentioned. In his -seventh chapter he says, "Sancti praecipui Hibernici Seculi quinti, qui -Euangelium in Hibernia praedicaerunt, fuerunt Palladius, Patricius," and -many others. The twenty-sixth chapter entitled "Monasteriologia Hibernica, -sive Diatriba de Hiberniae Coenobiis, in qua Origines eorum et aliae -Antiquitates aperiuntur," gives the names and titles of the founders of -monasteries, as also their dates, and, in speaking of one of them, but in -this case specifying no date, relates a curious circumstance as to the -building of a church. It may perhaps interest your readers, and I will -therefore quote the passage (p. 212.): - - "Sanctus Patricius construxit hoc coenobium Canonicis regularibus, - eique praefecit Abbatem S. Dunnium: Ecclesiam vero adjecit (juxta - Jocelinum Furnessensem), contra morem receptum, non ab Occidente in - Orientem, sed a Septentrione in Austrum protensam." - -This nevertheless hangs upon the reality of a St. Patrick. In another part -of the same work it is said of a monastery (p. 219.): - - "S. Dabeocum fundasse ferunt Seculo 5, vivente S. Patricio. Alii S. - Patricium fundatorem volunt." - -From these quotations it is clear Ware treated him as a real actor in Irish -ecclesiastical affairs; but the two first-named authors appear to set the -matter at rest. - -E. M. R. - -Grantham. - - * * * * * - - -Replies to Minor Queries. - -_Cabal_ (Vol. iv., p. 507.).--The two quotations from _Hudibras_ evidently -refer to two different meanings of this word _Cabal_. The first, alluding -to the ancient Cabala, or Mysteries, or Secrets, from whence _Cabalistic_; -the second, to its more modern, or political acceptation,--both, however, -including the idea of _secrecy_ or _privity_, as opposed to a general -participation of knowledge or purpose. It is the latter application of the -word to which the inquiry of E. H. D. D., at p. 443., Vol. iv., refers: and -MR. KERSLEY's quotation from a book printed in 1655 (p. 139., Vol. v.), -proves its usage in this sense at least seven years before Burnet's -derivation of the word from the initials of the five chief ministers of -Charles II. I do not think that Pepys could use the word _Cabal_, as -applicable to the "king's confidential advisers," _several_ years before -Burnet derived it from their initials; the ministers in question having -been appointed circa 1670. Burnet's definition was published in 1672, and -Pepys was appointed Secretary to the Admiralty in 1673. Blount, in his -_Glossographia_, 3rd edition, 1670, says, "We use to say he is not of our -_cabal_, that is, he is not received into our {521} council, or is not -privy to our secrets." Cole, in his _English Dictionary_, 1685, defines -_Cabal_, "a secret council:" and Bailey derives _Caballer_ from _cabaleur_ -(French), "a party man" and _To cabal_, from _cabaler_ (French), "to plot -together privately, to make parties;" and _Cabal_, from "a junto, or -private council, a particular party, a set, or gang." - -I find among my papers a scrap relating to the derivation of the word -_Whig_. I do not know where I took it from; but the origin which it gives -to this much-used word is new to me, and may be to some others of your -readers also: - - "The word Whig was given to the Liberal party in England by the - Royalists in Cromwell's days, from the initial letters of their motto, - 'We hope in God.'" - -P. T. - -Stoke Newington. - -_Portrait of Charles Mordaunt, Earl of Peterborough_ (Vol. v., p. -441.).--There is very fine portrait of Charles Earl of Peterborough (the -famous Earl) at Drayton House, in Northamptonshire, the ancient seat of the -Mordaunt family, and which is now in the possession of Wm. Bruce Stopford, -Esq. - -J. B. - -A full-length portrait of the Earl of Peterborough, by J. B. Vanloo, is in -the collection of the Marquis of Exeter at Burghley. The picture belonged -to the father-in-law of the present owner, the late W. S. Poyntz, Esq., of -Midgham. - -J. P., JR. - -_The Word "Oasis"_ (Vol. v., p. 465.).--I beg to inclose MR. TEMPLE an -instance of the use of the above word in English poetry, it will be found -in a poem entitled _Hopes of Matrimony_, by John Holland, author of -_Sheffield Park_, published by Francis Westley, 1822, and now lies before -me. - - "Is there a manly bosom can enfold, - A human heart, so withered, dead, and cold, - As not to feel, or never to have felt, - At genial Love's approach, its ices melt? - No--in the desert of the dreariest breast, - Some verdant spot, its presence have contest; - Though parch'd and bloomless, and as wild as bare, - A rill of nature once meander'd there; - E'en where Arabia's arid waste entombs - Whole caravans, the green oasis blooms." - -O[)a]sis will be found also in Lempriere's _Classical Dictionary_, but not -in the same sense as above. - -M. C. R. - -The word Oasis, about which your correspondent H. L. TEMPLE inquires, is -marked in Bailey's edition of Facciolati's _Latin Dictionary_ (in the -Appendix) O[)a]sis, making the _a_ short. - -[Hebrew: K] - -_Frightened out of his Seven Senses_ (Vol. iv., p. 233.).--A passage -containing the words "seven senses" occurs in the poem of Taliesin called -_Y Byd Mawr_, or the Macrocosm, of which a translation may be found in vol. -xxi. p. 30. of _The British Magazine_. The writer of the paper in which it -is quoted refers also to the _Mysterium Magnum_ of Jacob Boehmen, which -teaches "how the soul of man, or his 'inward holy body,' was compounded of -_the seven properties_ under the influence of the seven planets:"-- - - "I will adore my Father, - My God, my Supporter, - Who placed, throughout my head - The soul of my reason, - And made for my perception - _My seven faculties_, - Of fire, and earth, and water, and air, - And mist, and flowers, - And the southerly wind, - _As it were seven senses of reason_ - For my Father to impel me: - With the first I shall be animated, - With the second I shall touch, - With the third I shall cry out, - With the fourth I shall taste, - With the fifth I shall see, - With the sixth I shall hear, - With the seventh I shall smell; - And I will maintain - That _seven_ skies there are - Over the astrologer's head," &c. - -W. FRASER. - -_Eagles' Feathers_ (Vol. v., p. 462.).--The author quoted alludes to Pliny, -_Nat. Hist._ b. x. c. 4.: - - "Aquilarum pennae mixtas reliquarum alitum pennas devorant." - -K. - -The allusion concerning which _Arncliffe_ inquires is explained by the -following passage in _A Thousand Notable Things of Sundarie Sorts, &c._, -printed by John Haviland, MDCXXX. - - "Aeligus writes, that the quilles or pennes of an Eagle, mixt with the - quilles or pennes of other Fowles or Birds, doth consume or waste them - with their odour, smell or aire."--P. 48. - -EDWARD PEACOCK, Jun. - -Bottesford Moors. - -_Arms of Thompson_ (Vol. v., p. 468.).--It may be interesting perhaps to -JAYTEE to know that I have a book-plate with the arms described: "Per pale, -ardent and sable, a fess embattled between three falcons, countercharged, -belled or." Underneath is engraved, "William Thompson, of Humbleton, in -Yorkshire, Esq., 1708." The crest, a sinister arm in armour, grasping a -broken lance, on a torse of the colours. - -SPES. - -_Spick and Span-new_ (Vol. iii., p. 330.).--In Dutch, _spyker_ means a -warehouse, a magazine: and _spange_ (spangle) means anything shining {522} -and thus _spick_ and _span-new_ means, shining new from the _warehouse_. -(See Tooke's _Div. of Purley_, vol. i. p. 527.) This, with the guesses of -Wachter and Ihre, may be seen by your correspondent in Richardson. - -Q. - -_Junius Rumours_ (Vol. v., pp. 125. 159. 474.).--"N. & Q." contains -abundant speculation about the "Vellum-bound" to which your correspondent -refers (p. 474.). Some persons, I know, consider it doubtful whether the -printer did have a copy bound in vellum as Junius directed, and they -strengthen their doubts by, as they assert, no such copy having ever been -met with. MR. CRAMP, on the contrary, maintains that such copies are so -common that the printer must have taken the Junius copy as a pattern. As -MR. CRAMP, I observe, is become a correspondent of "N. & Q.," I will take -leave to direct his attention to the question asked by V. B. (Vol. iii., p. -262.) Others, again, assuming that the printer did have a copy specially -bound for Junius, think it doubtful whether it ever reached him. Of these -differences and speculations your correspondent is evidently unaware; and -he therefore raises a question as if it were new, which has been under -discussion for thirty years. As a set-off, however, he favours us with an -entirely original anecdote, so original, that neither the anecdote nor the -tea-service were ever heard of by H. S. Woodfall's family. Yet it must be -admitted that his story has all the characteristics of authenticity--names, -dates, places. I know, indeed, but one objection, viz. that Mr. Woodfall -never was "in prison on account of the publication of these redoubtable -letters." He was tried, but _acquitted_, under the somewhat celebrated -verdict of "guilty of printing and publishing _only_." - -T. S. W. - -_Cuddy, the Ass_ (Vol. v., p. 419.).--Jamieson is sometimes very absurd; -but in my edition of his _Dictionary_ (Edinburgh, 1808), I do not find the -_Hindoo_ root for _cuddy_ which you attribute to him. I only find: "CUDDIE, -an ass--probably a cant term;" with a reference to the _Lothian_ dialect. - -But if it be worth while to answer such questions, I would remind the -inquirer that in Northumberland, and the adjoining districts of Scotland, -_cuddie_ is the contraction of the very common name of _Cuthbert_ (_teste_ -"Cuddie Headrig"); and that as the ass is called in other districts "Ned" -and "Neddy," and in others again "Dick" and "Dicky," so he is called in -Northumberland _Cuddie_ by a name familiar in the locality. Everywhere the -male is called "Jack," and the female "Jenny;" are these also derived from -the Hindoostanee? - -C. - -_The Authorship of the Epigram upon the Letter "H"_ (Vol. v., p. 258.).--I -observe that a controversy has lately been carried on in your columns upon -the authorship of the celebrated enigma on the letter _H_. Permit me, as -one well acquainted with the circumstances, to corroborate the statement of -E. H. Y. The epigram in question was written at the Deepdene, the seat of -the late Thomas Hope, Esq., by Miss Catharine Fanshawe, in the year 1816, -as is recorded in the heading of the original MS. of it contained in a -contemporary _Deepdene Album_ still existing. - -You may rely upon the authenticity of this information, which proceeds from -one acquainted with the volume in question and its history. - -B. P. - -_John Rogers, Protomartyr, &c._--The reply to my inquiry, as to the present -descendants of this celebrated divine, which appeared in "N. & Q," Vol. v., -p. 307., is scarcely sufficient for the genealogical purpose for which I -required the information; but I am not the less obliged to E. D. for the -attention given to my request; and I should esteem it a favour to be -further informed where I could procure a complete genealogical account of -the family--to what county the martyr belonged, or if other descendants -survive besides those mentioned by E. D.? John Rogers, Gentleman, buried in -the nave of St. Sepulchre's Church, London, 1775, was a native of Wales. - -I should feel grateful for any information, either in "N. & Q." or directed -to me. - -JOSEPH KNIGHT. - -Aylestone Hall, Leicestershire. - -"_Gee-ho_" (Vol. ii., p. 500.).--_Ge_ is undoubtedly "go;" and _a-hit_ or -_hayt_ (common with waggoners in Notts) is "yate," "gyate," or "gate." Gang -your gate. - -Q. - -_Twises_ (Vol. ii., p. 327.).--"Fr. _estuy_; a sheath case, or box to put -things in, and more particularly a case of little instruments, or sizzars, -bodkin, penknife, &c., now commonly called _ettwee_."--_Cotgrave._ -Shenstone enumerates, among the temptations to drain the purse: - - "The cloud-wrought canes, the gorgeous snuff-boxes, - The twinkling jewels, the gold _etwee_, - With all its bright inhabitants." - _Economy_, Part II. - -Q. - -_Ancient Timber Town-halls_ (Vol. v., pp. 257. 295. 470.).--During a visit -to Sudbury in Suffolk in 1828, I was much struck with the old -quaint-looking timber building used for corporate purposes, called the Moot -Hall; I made a rude pen-and-ink sketch of the principal front. On a -subsequent visit I found this building was standing, but that it had ceased -to be used, a new town-hall having been erected. Since then I hear that the -Moot Hall has been pulled down and its site thrown into the market-place. -If I recollect rightly, the principal window of twelve lights was unglazed. - -C. H. COOPER. - -{523} - -_Johnny Crapaud_ (Vol. v., p. 439.).--When the French took the city of Aras -from the Spaniards, under Louis XIV., after a long and a most desperate -siege, it was remembered that Nostradamus had said: - - "Les anciens crapauds prendront Sara. - The ancient toads shall Sara take." - -This line was then applied to that event in this very roundabout manner. -Sara is Aras backward. By the ancient toads were meant the French: as that -nation formerly had for its armorial bearings three of those odious -reptiles, instead of the three flowers de luce which it now bears. -(Seward's _Anecdotes_, vol. i. p. 78.) Nostradamus died in 1566. - -C. B. - -_Juba Issham_ (Vol. v., p. 435.).--The signature is two names. The first -needs no explanation; Juba, in _Cato_, is the lover of Marcia: the second -may merely mean that the first is assumed, or false. We have such a surname -as Isham, but it is spelt with one _s_ only. - -C. B. - -_Optical Phenomenon_ (Vol. v., p. 441.).--The circumstance mentioned by -your correspondent is only one instance of a very familiar fact, that sight -is rendered clearer by diminishing the quantity of rays, which might -confuse one another. Some for that purpose look between two fingers brought -near. Others nearly close their eyes, &c. - -C. B. - -_Bishop of London's House_ (Vol. v., p. 371.).--In the _Wards of London_, -by H. Thomas, 1828, vol. i. p. 7., we are told that-- - - "The great fire of London having destroyed the Palace of the Bishop of - London, which was near St. Paul's Cathedral, this house [Peter House, - which stood on the west side, about the middle of Aldersgate Street] - was purchased for the city mansion of the prelates of the diocese, one - of whom only resided there, Bishop Henchman, who died there, and was - buried at Fulham, A.D. 1675. It was then called London House, and, - being subsequently deserted, was let out into private tenements until - 1768; when it was entirely destroyed by fire while in the occupation of - Mr. Seddon, an upholsterer and cabinet-maker." - -A large brick building now covers the site, and retains the name of "London -House." It is occupied by Mr. H. Burton, builder. - -In the work above quoted I find no mention of a residence of the Bishops of -London in Bishopsgate. I therefore conclude that the one I have alluded to, -is that respecting which your correspondent wishes to learn. - -TEE BEE. - -"_Inveni Portum_" (Vol. v., pp. 10. 64.).--"Actum ne agas" is generally a -safe motto, and a particularly safe one when so learned a scholar as MR. -SINGER has preceded. However, it may do no harm to mention, that since the -Query occurred in the "N. & Q." I have met with two quotations of a very -analogous kind. - -The first is given as a quotation, and may be found at the end of George -Sandys' _Divine Poems_, 1648,--"Jam tetigi Portum ---- valete." The second -may be found amongst the _Poems_ of Walter Haddon, and refers to something -more ancient still: - - "_In obitum N. Pointzi Equitis,_ - _Ex Anglico clarissimi viri Th. Henneagii._ - - Per medios mundi strepitus, caecosque tumultus, - Turbida transegi tempora, Pointzus eques. - Nullus erat terror, qui pectora frangere posset, - Mens mea perpetuo quod quereretur, erat. - _Nunc teneo portum, valeant ludibria mundi_, - Vita perennis ave, vita caduca vale." - -RT. - -Warmington. - -_"Cane Decane," &c._ (Vol. v., p. 440).--I cannot inform your correspondent -who was the author of the punning couplet-- - - "Cane Decane, canis; sed ne cane, cane Decane, - De cane, de canis, cane Decane, cane." - -But I think that he has injured the spirit of the original in his "_free_ -translation." - -_Decanus_ means a "Dean," not a Deacon: and the word _canis_, which is both -masculine and _feminine_, was often used by the poets in a _metaphorical_ -sense. It seems to me that the author was alluding to some aged _dignitary_ -of his day, who had been in the habit of singing songs upon _the ladies_. I -therefore submit to you my _more free_ translation: - - 1. - "Dean Hoare! - You sung, of yore, - O'er and o'er, - Molly ashore. - - 2. - Now, shut the door; - And of such lore - Sing no more, - Dean Hoare!" - -BAVIUS. - -These lines are cited by Mr. Sandys in the Introduction to his _Specimens -of Macaronic Poetry_, and are there attributed to Professor Porson. - -WILLIAM BATES. - -Birmingham. - -_Fides Carbonarii_ (Vol. iv., pp. 233. 283.).--In reply to QUERIST as to -this saying, E. H. D. D. states that it originated in an anecdote told by -Dr. Milner, or some other controversial writer. A coal-porter being asked -what he believed, replied, "What the church believes:" and being asked what -the church believed, replied, "What I believe." - -Now I find the same meaning given by Henry {524} de Bellingen, in his -_Etym. des Prov. Francais_, printed at the Hague, 1656. His words, as -quoted by Leroux de Lincy, are as follow: - - "On fait un conte qui a donne l'origine a ce proverbe. Un charbonnier - estant enquis par le diable de ce qu'il croyait, luy respondit: - 'Toujours je crois ce que l'eglise croit.' De la est venu que lorsqu'on - a voulu marquer qu'un homme avait une foi ferme, mais sans science, on - a dit: 'La foi du charbonnier.'" - -Also, in P. J. Le Roux's _Dictionnaire Comique_, 1750: - - "_La foi du charbonnier._ Quand on parle d'une foi implicite, qui fait - croire a un Chretien en general tout ce que l'eglise croit." - -In Landais' _Dictionary_, 4to.: - - "_La foi du charbonnier_, foi simple et aveugle qui ne raisonne pas." - -PHILIP S. KING. - -_The Book of Jasher_ (Vol. v., p. 415.).--I have a translation of a work -thus named. It was published by Noah and Gould, 144. Nassau Street, New -York, 1840. The publisher's preface mentions Illive's work as "a miserable -fabrication;" claims, as the original of his own, a book "said to have been -discovered in Jerusalem at its capture by Titus," and preserved at Venice, -1613. It also speaks of the "owner and translator" as resident in England. -I have a vague idea that I heard from New York, at the time I received my -volume, that the Duke of Sussex had possessed a copy of the Book of Jasher, -and that some steps had been taken towards the translation by order of His -Royal Highness. I mention this merely to lead inquiry: I cannot trust my -memory as to the verbal expression of a friend so many years ago. - -I have long wished the Book of Jasher to obtain a fair hearing, and a more -critical examination than I am qualified to make; and I shall be happy to -lend it to your correspondent L. L. L. in furtherance of what I think an -act of justice. - -F. C. B. - -_Sites of Buildings mysteriously changed_ (Vol. v., p. 436.).--Perhaps W. -H. K. may deem the following account of the foundation of Bideford _Bridge_ -near enough to his purpose: - - "Before whose erection the breadth and roughness of the river was such, - as it put many in jeopardy: some were drowned, to the great grief of - the inhabitants, who did therefore divers times, and in sundry places, - begin to build a bridge; but no firm foundation, after often proof - being found, their attempts came to no effect. At which time Sir - Richard Gornard was priest of the place, who (as the story of that town - hath it) was admonished by a vision in his sleep, to set on the - foundation of a bridge near a rock, which he should find rowled from - the higher grounds upon the strand. This he esteemed but a dream; yet, - to second the same with some art, in the morning he found a huge rock - there fixed, whose greatness argued it the work of God; which not only - bred admiration, but incited him to set forwards so charitable a work: - who eftsoons, with Sir Theobald Grenvile, knight, lord of the land, an - especial furtherer and benefactor of that work, founded the bridge - there, now to be seen, which for length, and number of arches, - equalizeth, if not excelleth, all others in England," &c.--Risdon's - _Survey of Devon_, s. v. BIDEFORD. - -The traditions relating to St. Cuthbert and the foundation of Durham -Cathedral are too well known to find a place in "N. & Q." - -J. SANSOM. - -_Wyned_ (Vol. v., pp. 321. 474.).--Read _joined_ for _wyned_: "divers -parcels of joined waynescott, windowes, and other implements of household," -_i. e._ wainscot of joiner's work. I have no doubt this is the true -reading, having once made the very same mistake myself in reading and -printing an inventory of this period. - -SPES. - -_Sweet Willy O_ (Vol. v., p. 466).--This song was written by Garrick for -the jubilee in honour of Shakspere, which was held at Stratford-upon-Avon -in 1769, and was sung on that occasion by Mrs. Baddeley. It is printed in -_Shakespeare's garland_, 1769; in the _Poetical works of David Garrick_, -1785; and in the _History of Stratford_, 1806. - -BOLTON CORNEY. - - * * * * * - - -Miscellaneous. - -NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. - -We have received from Messrs. Rivington, four volumes of their new and -complete edition of _The Works and Correspondence of The Right Honourable -Edmund Burke_, and we do not know that a more valuable contribution could -be made to our stores of historical and political literature, than this -handsome collection of the writings of one whom Sir Robert Peel pronounced -"the most profound of the philosophic statesmen of modern times." Dear to -all lovers of literature as must be the memory of Burke, the friend of -Johnson, who declared, "he was the only man whose common conversation -corresponded with the fame which he had in the world," and of Goldsmith, -who complained that-- - - "He to party gave up what was meant for mankind;" - -and that he - - ... "too deep for his hearers still went on refining, - And thought of convincing, while they thought of dining;"-- - -the present aspect of the political world compels us to look at him rather -as a politician than as a man of letters. Considering, therefore, not only -the profoundly philosophical character of his political works, but also the -elevated tone of political morality which is displayed in the writings of -Edmund Burke--a wisdom and a morality rendered still more attractive by the -unrivalled eloquence with which they are enunciated--the present handsome -and cheap collection of {525} those writings is alike creditable to the -enterprise of the publishers, and well calculated to exercise a beneficial -influence upon the political condition of the country. It would indeed be -well if all who aspire to seats in the new parliament would fit themselves -for such positions by a study of the writings of Edmund Burke. - -Mr. Willis has just issued a neat reprint of what has now become a very -scarce volume, _The Poetry of the Anti-Jacobin_, a work which may be -regarded as a model of political satire. It is accompanied by occasional -notes elucidating allusions now become obscure through lapse of time, and -the blanks in the text have been filled up with the names of the various -persons introduced or alluded to. Some attempt has also been made to -identify the various authors by whom the several articles were written; but -we are surprised to find this so imperfectly executed, for when the editor -speaks of the authorship being in many cases mere matter of conjecture, it -is clear that he did not know of the very curious, and, we may add, -authentic list, furnished to the third volume (p. 348.) of this journal by -Mr. Hawkins of the British Museum; who has also given a history of the -work, and of the manner in which it was conducted, which ought to have been -made use of. - -BOOKS RECEIVED.--_Legal Iambics in Prose, suggested by the present Chancery -Crisis_, a quaint discourse, in which there is no small learning and -humour, and to which may be applied, with some variation, Gay's well-known -Epilogue: - - "Our pamphlet has a moral, and no doubt - You all have sense enough to find it out." - -_An Essay upon the Ghost Belief of Shakspeare_, by Alfred Roffe, is a -little pamphlet well deserving perusal, in which the author--who holds that -ghost belief, rightly understood, is most rational and salutary--endeavours -to show that it must have had the sanction of such a thinker as -Shakspeare.--_Rome in the Nineteenth Century, containing a complete account -of the Ruins of the Ancient City, the Remains of the Middle Ages, and the -Monuments of Modern Times_, by Charlotte A. Eaton. _Fifth Edition_, Vol. -I., the new issue of Bohn's _Illustrated Library_, with its thirty-four -engraved illustrations, will be found a very useful and instructive guide -to the "Eternal City."--_The Heroides, the Amours, Art of Love, &c., of -Ovid, translated_ (with the judicious exception of the more questionable -passages, which are left in the original Latin), forming the new volume of -Bohn's _Classical Library_. In his _Standard Library_ we have now the fifth -and concluding volume of what has been well described as "the enthralling -Biographies of Vasari." Thus for considerably less than one pound has the -English lover of Art the means of possessing one of the most interesting -and instructive works on the subject of his favourite study ever produced. -The work deserves, and, we trust, will meet with a very wide circulation. - - * * * * * - -BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES - -WANTED TO PURCHASE. - -BOOTHBY'S SORROWS SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF PENELOPE.

It has all that true German _Gruendlichkeit_ about it which is - so highly appreciated by English scholars. Rarely, if ever, has so vast - an amount of philological information been comprised in a single volume - of this size. The knowledge which it conveys of the earlier and later - Latin is not to be gathered from ordinary Latin Dictionaries.... With - regard to the manner in which it is got up, we can speak most - favourably. Every page bears the impress of industry and care. The type - is clear, neat, and judiciously varied." - -The LITERARY GAZETTE says-- - - "We have examined this book with considerable attention, and have no - hesitation in saying it is the best Dictionary of the Latin language - that has appeared." - -The SPECTATOR says-- - - "An elaborate fulness and completeness, while everything is quite - clear, are the characteristics of this work,--rendering it the best - Latin Dictionary for the scholar or advanced student." - -The EXAMINER says-- - - "Dr. Andrews has a claim to our gratitude for his translation, not - simply on the ground of his faithful retention of the excellencies of - Dr. Freund, but also for much correction and some additions. In the - 1663 large 8vo. pages which form the volume before us, all the most - valuable arrangements of detail have been compressed. It remains for us - only to add that we never saw such a book published at such a price." - -*** "In consequence of a strict adherence to this rule, the present work is -distinguished from every manual Latin-English Lexicon heretofore published, -not only by the number of authorities cited, but by its full reference in -every case, both to the name of the classical author, and to the particular -treatise, book, section, or line of his writings, in which the passage -referred to is to be found." - - * * * * * - -London: SAMPSON LOW, 169.
