Of the true Greatness of Kingdoms.-- - -"The speech of Themistocles."] See Plut. _Them._ 2., _Cimon_, 9. - -"Negotiis pares."] An expression of Tacitus. In _Ann._ vi. 39., he says -of Poppæus Sabinus: "Maximis provinciis per quatuor et viginti annos -impositus; nullam ob eximiam artem, sed quod _par negotiis_ neque supra -erat." Again, in _Ann._ xvi. 18. of C. Petronius: "Proconsul Bithyniæ, et -mox consul, vigentem se ac _parem negotiis_ ostendit." - -"As Virgil saith, 'It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep be.'"] -Lord Bacon, as Mr. Markby observes, evidently alludes to the following -verses of Eclogue vii.: - - "Hic tantum Boreæ curamus frigora, quantum - Aut numerum lupus, aut torrentia flumina ripas." - -The meaning is, however, doubtless correctly explained by Heyne: "Ut -numerato pecori parcat." "Quia solam considerat lupus prædam," says -Servius. The sense of the passage is, that after the shepherd has "told -his tale," after he has counted his sheep, the wolf does not care how -much he deranges the reckoning. - -For the advice of Parmenio to attack Darius by night, and the refusal of -Alexander to steal the victory, see Arrian, _Exp. Alex._ iii. 10.; Plut. -_Alex._ 31., _Curt._ iv. 13. - -"Neither is money the sinews of war, as it is trivially said."] "Nervi -belli, pecunia infinita," Cic. _Phil._ v. 2. Machiavel, like Bacon, -questions the truth of this dictum, _Disc._ ii. 10. - -"Solon said well to Crœsus (when in ostentation he showed him his gold), -'Sir, if any other come that hath better iron than you, he will be master -of all this gold.'"] This saying is not in Herodotus, or in Plutarch's -Life of Solon. Query, In what ancient author is it to be found? - -"Even as you may see in coppice-woods; if you leave your staddles too -thick, you shall never have clean underwood, but shrubs and bushes."] -The same illustration is used by Lord Bacon, in {166} his _History of -Henry VII._: "Like to coppice-woods, that, if you leave in them staddles -too thick, they will run to bushes and briars, and have little clean -underwood" (vol. iii. p. 236., ed. Montagu). The word _staddle_ means an -uncut tree in a coppice, left to grow. Thus Tusser says, "Leave growing -for staddles the likest and best." See Richardson in v., and Nares' -_Glossary_ in _Staddle_, where other meanings of the word are explained. - -"The device of King Henry VII."] See Lord Bacon's _History_, ib. p. 234. - -"Nay, it seemeth at this instant they [the Spaniards] are sensible of -this want of natives; as by the Pragmatical Sanction, now published, -appeareth."] To what law does Lord Bacon allude? - -"Romulus, after his death (as they report or feign), sent a present to -the Romans, that above all they should intend arms, and then they should -prove the greatest empire of the world."] See Livy, i. 16., where Romulus -is described as giving this message to Proculus Julius. A similar message -is reported in Plut. _Rom._ 28. - -"No man can by caretaking (as the Scripture saith) add a cubit to his -stature."] See Matt. vi. 27. - -Essay XXX. Of Regimen of Health.--See _Antith._, No. 4. vol. viii. p. 355. - -Essay XXXI. Of Suspicion.--See _Antith._, No. 45. vol. viii. p. 377. - -Essay XXXII. Of Discourse.-- - -"I knew two noblemen of the west part of England," &c.] Query, Who are -the noblemen referred to? - -Essay XXXIII. Of Plantations.-- - -"When the world was young it begat more children; but now it is old it -begets fewer."] This idea is taken from the ancients. Thus Lucretius: - - "Sed quia finem aliquam pariendi debet habere, - Destitit, ut mulier spatio defessa vetusto." - - V. 823-4. - -"Consider likewise, what commodities the soil where the plantation is -doth naturally yield, that they may some way help to defray the charge -of the plantation; so it be not, as was said, to the untimely prejudice -of the main business, _as it hath fared with tobacco in Virginia_."] On -the excessive cultivation of tobacco by the early colonists of Virginia, -see Grahame's _History of North America_, vol. i. p. 67. King James's -objection to tobacco is well known. - -"But _moil_ not too much underground."] This old word, for _to toil, to -labour_, has now become provincial. - -"In _marish_ and unwholesome grounds."] _Marish_ is here used in its -original sense, as the adjective of _mere_. Spenser and Milton use it as -a substantive; whence the word _marsh_. - -"It is the guiltiness of blood of many _commiserable_ persons."] No -instance of the word _commiserable_ is cited in the Dictionaries from any -other writer than Bacon. - -Essay XXXIV. Of Riches.--See _Antith._, No. 6. vol. viii. p. 356. - -"In sudore vultûs alieni."] Gen. iii. 19. - -"The fortune in being the first in an invention, or in a privilege, -doth cause sometimes a wonderful overgrowth in riches, _as it was -with the first sugar-man in the Canaries_."] When was the growth of -sugar introduced into the Canaries? To what does Bacon allude? It does -not appear that sugar is now grown in these islands; at least it is -enumerated among their imports, and not among their exports. - -Essay XXXV. Of Prophecies.-- - -"Henry VI. of England said of Henry VII., when he was a lad and gave -him water, 'This is the lad that shall enjoy the crown for which we -strive.'"] Query, Is this speech reported by any earlier writer? - -"When I was in France I heard from one Dr. Pena, that the queen-mother, -who was given to curious arts, caused the king her husband's nativity -to be calculated under a false name, and the astrologer gave a judgment -that he should be killed in a duel; at which the queen laughed, thinking -her husband to be above challenges and duels; but he was slain upon a -course at tilt, the splinters of the staff of Montgomery going in at -his beaver."] The king here alluded to is Henri II., who was killed at -a tournament in 1559; his queen was Catherine de Medici. Bacon's visit -to France was in 1576-9 (_Life_, by Montagu, p. xvi.), during the reign -of Henri III., when Catherine of Medici was queen-mother. Query, Is this -prophecy mentioned in any French writer? - -"Octogesimus octavus mirabilis annus." Concerning the prophecy which -contained this verse, see Bayle, _Dict._, art. _Stofler_, note E: art. -_Bruschius_, note E. - -Essay XXXVII. Of Masques and Triumphs.-- - -"The colours that show best by candlelight are white, carnation, and a -kind of sea-water green; and _oes_, or spangs, as they are of no great -cost, so they are of most glory." Mr. Markby says that Montagu and Spiers -take the liberty of altering the word _oes_ to _ouches_. Halliwell, in -his _Dictionary_, explains _oes_ to mean _eyes_, citing one manuscript -example. This would agree tolerably with the sense of the passage before -us. _Ouches_ would mean _jewels_. - -Essay XXXVIII. Of Nature in Men.--See _Antith._, No. 10. vol. viii. p. -459. - -"Optimus ille _animi_ vindex," &c.] "Ille _fuit_ vindex" in Ovid. - -{167} - -"Like as it was with Æsop's damsel, turned from a cat to a woman."] See -Babrius, Fab. 32. - -"Otherwise they may say, 'Multum incola fuit anima mea.'" Whence are -these words borrowed? - -Essay XXXIX. Of Custom and Education.--See _Antith._, No. 10. vol. viii. -p. 359. - -"Only superstition is now so well advanced, that men of the first blood -are as firm as butchers by occupation, and votary resolution is made -equipollent to custom, even in matter of blood."] This is an allusion to -the Gunpowder Plot. - -"The Indian wives strive to be burnt with the corpse of their husbands."] -The practice of suttee is of great antiquity. See Strabo, xv. 1. § 30. -62.; Val. _Max._ ii. 6. 14. - -"The lads of Sparta, of ancient time, were wont to be scourged upon the -altar of Diana, without so much as _queching_."] To _queche_ here means -to _squeak_. - -"Late learners cannot so well _take the ply_."] To _take the ply_ is -to bend according to the pressure; to be flexible and docile under -instruction. - -Essay XL. Of Fortune.--See _Antith._, No. 11. vol. viii. p. 359. - -"Serpens, nisi serpentem comederit, non fit draco."] What is the origin -of this saying? - -The character of Cato the elder, cited from Livy, is in xxxix. 40.; but -the words are quoted _memoriter_, and do not agree exactly with the -original. - -For the anecdote of Timotheus, see "N. & Q.," Vol. vii., p. 493. - -Essay XLII. Of Youth and Age.--See _Antith._, No. 3. vol. viii. p. 355. - -"Hermogenes the rhetorician, whose books are exceedingly subtle, who -afterwards waxed stupid."] Hermogenes of Tarsus, who lived in the reign -of Marcus Aurelius, wrote some able rhetorical works while he was still -a young man; but at the age of twenty-five fell into a state of mental -imbecility, from which he never recovered. - -"Scipio Africanus, of whom Livy saith in elect, 'Ultima primis -cedebant.'"] The allusion is to Ovid, _Heroid._ ix. 23-4.: - - "Cœpisti melius quam desinis: ultima primis - Cedunt: dissimiles hic vir et ille puer." - -Essay XLIII. Of Beauty.--See _Antith._, No. 2. vol. viii. p. 354. - -"A man cannot tell whether Apelles or Albert Durer were the more trifler; -whereof the one would make a personage by geometrical proportions, -the other by taking the best parts out of divers faces to make one -excellent."] With regard to Apelles, Lord Bacon probably alludes to the -story of Zeuxis in Cic. _De Inv._ ii. 1. - -"Pulcrorum autumnus pulcher."] Query, What is the source of this -quotation? - -Essay XLVI. Of Gardens.-- - -Many of the names of plants in this Essay require illustration. -_Gennitings_ appear to be broom, from _genista_; _quodlins_ are codlings, -a species of apple; _wardens_ are a species of pear, concerning which -see Hudson's _Domestic Architecture of the Thirteenth Century_, p. 137. -_Bullaces_ are explained by Halliwell to be a small black and tartish -plum, growing wild in some parts of the country. - -"My meaning is perceived, that you may have _ver perpetuum_, as the place -affords."] The allusion, probably, is to Virgil, _Georg._ ii. 149.: - - "Hic ver assiduum, atque alienis mensibus æstas." - -"Little low hedges, round, like _welts_, with some pretty pyramids, I -like well."] A _welt_ was the turned-over edge of a garment. - -"Abeunt studia in mores."] From Ovid's Epistle of Sappho to Phaon, _Ep._ -xv. 83. - -"Let him study the schoolmen, for they are _cymini sectores_."] The word -κυμινοπρίστης is applied in Aristot., _Eth. Nic._ iv. 3., to a miserly -person; one who saves cheeseparings and candle-ends. - -Essay LII. Of Ceremonies and Respects.--See _Antith._, No. 34. vol. viii. -p. 371. - -"It doth much add to a man's reputation, and is (as Queen Isabella saith) -like perpetual letters commendatory, to have good forms."] Query, Which -Queen Isabella was the author of this saying? - -Essay LIII. Of Praise.--See _Antith._, No. 10. vol. viii. p. 358. - -"Pessimum genus inimicorum laudantium."] From Tacit. _Agric._ c. 41., -where the words are: "Pessimum inimicorum genus, laudantes." _Laudantium_ -for _laudantes_ in the text of Bacon is an error. - -Essay LIV. Of Vain-glory.--See _Antith._, No. 19. vol. viii. p. 364. - -Essay LVI. Of Judicature.-- - -"Judges ought to remember that their office is _jus dicere_, and not _jus -dare_."] Compare Aph. 44. and 46., in the eighth book _De Augmentis_. - -L. - - * * * * * - - -BISHOP BURNET, H. WHARTON, AND SMITH. - -The following curious piece of literary history is quoted from pp. -145-147. of Smith's _De Re Nummaria_: - - "But having thus owned the bishop's generosity, I must next - inform the reader what occasion I have to make some complaint - of hard usage, partly to myself, but infinitely more to Dr. - H. Wharton, and that after his decease also. The matter of - fact lies in this order. After Ant. Harmer had published his - _Specimen of Errors_ to be found in the Bishop's _History - of the Reformation_, there was a person that frequented the - coffee-house where we met daily at Oxon, and who {168} - afterwards became a prelate in Scotland, that was continually - running down that History for the errors discovered in it, - many of which are not very material, and might in so large a - work have been easily pardoned; and in order to obtain such a - pardon, I acquainted his Lordship with some more considerable - errata to be found in the first volume of _Anglia Sacra_, out - of which I had drawn up as many mistakes as I could possibly - meet with, and had descanted upon them, as far as I was able, - in the same method Ant. Harmer had drawn up his, and without - acquainting the Bishop who was the author, sent them up to his - Lordship with license, if he thought fitting, to print them. - But when the collection was made, I had prefixed a letter - to his Lordship, and next an epistle to the reader. In the - former it was but fitting to compliment his Lordship, but the - latter was altogether as large a commendation of Dr. Wharton's - skill, diligence, and faithfulness in viewing and examining - the records of our English church history. The disgust that - this last gave his Lordship obliged him to stifle the whole - tract; but yet he was pleased to show part of it to many by - way, as I suppose, of excuse or answer for his own mistakes; - but as I take it, after the Doctor's decease, he made it an - occasion of foully bespattering him as a man of no credit, and - all he had writ in that _Specimen_ was fit to go for nothing; - which practice of his lordship, after I came to read both - in the preface and introduction to his third volume, I was - amazed at his injustice both to the living and the dead. For - I had acquainted his Lordship that the faults were none of - Dr. Wharton's own making, who had never seen the MS. itself, - but only some exscript of it, writ by some raw and illiterate - person employed by some of his Oxford friends to send him a - copy of it. I once threatened my Lord Bishop's son that I had - thoughts of publishing this and some other facts the Bishop had - used to avoid the discovery of some other errata communicated - to him by other hands; but I forbore doing so, lest I should - seem ungrateful for kindnesses done and offered to me." - -E. H. A. - - * * * * * - - -EARLY PHILADELPHIA DIRECTORIES. - -The first Philadelphia Directories were published in the year 1785, when -two appeared: White's and M'Pherson's. The latter is a duodecimo volume -of 164 pages, and contains some things worth making a note of. - -Some persons do not seem to have comprehended the object of the inquiries -made of the inhabitants as to their names and occupations; supposing, -perhaps, that they had some connexion with taxation. The answers given by -such are put down in the _Directory_ as the _names_ of the respondents. -Thus: - - "'I won't tell you,' 3. Maiden's Lane." - - "'I won't tell it,' 15. Sugar Alley." - - "'I won't tell you my name,' 160. New Market Street." - - "'I won't have it numbered,' 478. Green Street." - - "'I won't tell my name,' 185. St. John's Street." - - "'I shall not give you my name,' 43. Stamper's Alley." - - "'What you please,' 49. Market Street." - -In the _errata_ are the following: - - "For Cross Woman read Cross Widow." - - "For Cox Cats read Cox Cato." - -The alphabetical arrangement of a _Directory_ is as great a leveller as -the grave. In the _Directory_ for 1798, after-- - - "Dennis, Mr., _Taylor_, Pewter Platter Alley." - -appears the following: - - "Dorleans, Messrs., _Merchants_, near 100. South Fourth Street." - -These were Louis Philippe and one of his brothers, who lived at the -north-west corner of Fourth and Princes Streets, in a house still -standing, and now numbered 110. - -Talleyrand and Volney lived for some time in Philadelphia; but, not being -house-keepers, their names do not appear in any of the Directories. - -UNEDA. - -Philadelphia. - - * * * * * - - -SHAKSPEARE CORRESPONDENCE. - -_Shakspeare Readings, No. X._--"_Sheer_" versus "_Warwick-sheer_."--At -page 143. of _Notes and Emendations_, Mr. Collier indulges in the -following reverie:-- - - "Malone did not know what to make of 'sheer ale,' but supposed - that it meant _sheering_ or reaping ale, for so reaping is - called in Warwickshire. What does it mean? It is spelt _sheere_ - in the old copies; and that word begins one line, _Warwick_ - having undoubtedly dropped out at the end of the preceding - line.... It was formerly not at all unusual to spell 'shire' - _sheere_; and Sly's 'sheer ale' _thus turns out_ to have been - Warwickshire ale, which Shakspeare celebrated, and of which he - had doubtless often partaken at Mrs. Hacket's. We almost wonder - that, in his local particularity, he did not mention the sign - of her house," &c. - -The meaning of _sheer_ ale was _strong_ ale--that which we now call -"entire"--ale unmixed, unreduced, unmitigated--the antithesis of that -"_small_ ale," for a pot of which poor Sly begged so hard, sinking his -demand at last to "a pot o' the _smallest_ ale." If Christopher lived in -our own times, he might, on common occasions, indulge in _small_; but for -great treats he would have Barclay's entire: and, instead of bullying -Dame Hacket about "sealed quarts," he would perhaps, in these educated -days, be writing to _The Times_ under the signature of "A Thirsty Soul." -Sly evidently was rather proud of underlying a score of fourteenpence for -_sheer_ ale. - -Let us hear in what sense old Phil. Holland, in _Precepts of Health_, -uses the word: - - "And verily water (not that onely wherewith _wine is mingled_, - but also which is drunke betweene whiles, {169} apart by - itselfe) causeth the wine tempered therewith to doe the lesse - harme: in regard whereof, a student ought to use himselfe to - drinke twice or thrice every day a draught of sheere water," &c. - -Here "sheere water" is put in apposition to that with which "_wine is -mingled_;" the meaning of _sheer_, therefore, is _integer_: and sheer -milk would be milk before it goes to the pump. - -But perhaps it will be objected that sheer, applied to water, as in this -place, may mean clear, bright, free from foulness. Well, then, here is -another example from Fletcher's _Double Marriage_, where Castruccio is -being _tantalised_ after the fashion of the Governor of Barataria: - - "_Cast._ (_tastes._) Why, what is this? Why, Doctor! - - _Doctor._ Wine and water, sir. 'Tis sovereign for your heat: - you must endure it. - - _Villio._ Most excellent to cool your night-piece, sir! - - _Doctor._ You're of a high and choleric complexion, and must - have allays. - - _Cast._ Shall I have no SHEER WINE then?" - -The step from this to sheer ale is not very difficult. - -It may be remarked that, at present, we apply several arbitrary -adjectives, in this sense of sheer, to different liquors. Thus, to -spirits we apply "raw," to wines and brandy "neat," to malt drink "stout" -or "strong;" and then we reduce to "half and half," until at length we -come to the very "small," a term which, like other lowly things, seems to -have been permitted to endure from its very weakness. - -A. E. B. - -Leeds. - -"_Clamour your tongues," &c._-- - - "Clamour your tongues, and not a word more." - - _Wint. Tale_, Act IV. Sc. 4. - -Notwithstanding the comments upon this word _clamour_, both in the pages -of "N. & Q.," and by the various editors of Shakspeare, I have not yet -seen anything that appears to my mind like a satisfactory elucidation. - -Gifford, not being able to make anything of the word, proposed to read -_charm_, which at all events is plausible, though nothing more. Nares -says the word is in use among bell-ringers, though now shortened to -_clam_. Unfortunately the meaning attached to the term by the ringers is -at variance with that of _clamour_ in the text; for to _clam_ the bells -is what we should now call putting them _on sette_ or _setting_ them, and -this is but preparatory to a general crash: still it is possible that the -words may be the same. - -MR. ARROWSMITH (Vol. vii., p. 567.) maintains the genuineness of -_clamour_ in preference to _charm_; and, without a word of comment, -quotes two passages from Udall's translation of Erasmus his -_Apothegms_--"oneless hee chaumbreed his tongue," &c.; and again--"did -he refrein or chaumbre the tauntying of his tongue." I confess I cannot -fathom MR. ARROWSMITH'S intention; for the obvious conclusion to be -drawn from these quotations is, that _charm_, and not _clamour_, is an -abbreviation of the older word _chaumbre_. - -I am very much inclined to think that the verb in question comes directly -from the A.-S. We find the word _clam_ or _clom_--a bond, that which -holds or retains, a prison; in the latter form the word is frequently -used, and for the use of the former in the same sense Bosworth quotes -Boethius (Rawlinson's ed., Oxon. 1698, p. 152.), which work I am unable -to consult. From these words, then, we have _clommian_, _clæmian_, &c., -to bind or restrain. It seems not very unlikely that from this original -came Shakspeare's word _clammer_ or _clamour_. I may add that Skinner -explains the word _clum_ by _a note of silence_, quoting "Chaucer in -fab. Molitoris" (I have no copy of Chaucer at this moment within reach); -and in the A.-S. we find _clumian_, to keep close, to press, to mutter, -comprimere, mussitare: all these words probably have the same root. - -An instance of the use of the word _clame_ or _clamour_ is to be found -in a work entitled _The Castel of Helthe; gathered and made by Syr -Thomas Elyot, Knight, &c.; printed by Thomas Berthelet_: London, 1539 -(black-letter). At p. 52. is the following: - - "Nauigation or rowynge nigh to the lande, in a _clame_ water, - is expedient for them that haue dropsies, lepries, palseyes, - called of the vulgar people, takynges, and francies. To be - carried on a rough water, it is a violent exercise," &c. - -H. C. K. - ----- Rectory, Hereford. - -_Shakspeare Suggestions_ (Vol. viii., p. 124.).--Icon asks--"Has any one -suggested 'Most busy, when least I do.' The 'it' seems mere surplusage?" - -The same suggestion, nearly _verbatim_, even to the curtailment of -the "it," may be found in this present month's number of _Blackwood's -Magazine_, p. 186. - -But ICON will also find the same reading, _with an anterior title of -nearly three years_, together with some good reasons for its adoption, in -"N. & Q.," Vol. ii., p. 338. And he may also consult with advantage an -illustrative quotation in Vol. iii., p. 229. - -In the original suggestion in "N. & Q.," there is no _presumption of -surplusage_: the word "it" is understood in relation to _labours_; that -word being taken as _a collective singular_, like _contents_, and other -words of the same construction. - -The critic in Blackwood disclaims consulting "N. & Q.;" and it is, -no doubt, a convenient disclaimer. He follows the herd of menstrual -Aristarchi, by hailing, with wondering admiration, the substitution of -_ethics_ for _checks_! And he shows his fitness for the task he has -undertaken, by stating {170} that "Mr. Singer _alone_ had the good taste -to print it (ethics) in his text of 1826." - -Mr. Halliwell, however, in a recent pamphlet, states that-- - - "This _new emendation_ has not only been mentioned in a great - variety of editions, but _has been introduced into the text by - no fewer than five editors_, the first, I believe, in point of - time, being the Rev. J. Rann, who substituted ethics into the - text as early as 1787." - -A. E. B. - -Leeds. - -_Critical Digest._--Your readers have seen no more welcome announcement -than that contained in p. 75. of your present volume, that this project -of a work, bringing into one view the labours of preceding editors and -commentators, is in good hands and likely to be brought to bear. On the -_form_ of such a work it is perhaps premature to offer an observation; -but, to be perfect, it ought to range with that remarkable monument of -a lady's patient industry, Mrs. Cowden Clarke's _Concordance_. On the -_materials_ to be employed, all your readers have such an interest in the -subject as to warrant them in making suggestions; and it will be well to -do so before the plans are fully matured. - -It ought, in my opinion, to be more comprehensive than even the largest -scheme suggested by your correspondent; for, in addition to the comments -which may be thought most worthy of insertion in full, or nearly so, it -ought to contain at least a _reference_ to every known comment, in the -slightest degree worthy of notice, in relation to any passage in the -work. To accomplish this would of course be a work of enormous labour, -and the object of the present Note is to suggest, as first step, the -circulation of a list of works intended to be consulted, for the purpose -of inviting additions; not that such a list should encumber the pages -of "N. & Q." but I am much mistaken if you would not afford facilities -for receiving the communications asked for. This course is the more -necessary, inasmuch as, in addition to works written exclusively on the -subject of Shakspeare, there is a vast amount of Shakspearian criticism -spread over works, the titles of which give no indication of the -necessity for consulting them. For instance, upwards of two hundred pages -of Coleridge's _Literary Remains_ are so employed; and though, perhaps, -the work is so well known that it would have found a place in the first -copy of the list I have suggested, it may serve as an illustration of the -sort of information which it would be desirable to invite. - -J. F. M. - - * * * * * - - -MOTTOS OF THE EMPERORS OF GERMANY. - -I was much interested in the lists given in "N. & Q." last year of the -mottos adopted by serjeants-at-law on arriving at that dignity; and it -then occurred to me, that it would be curious to collect in like manner -a complete list of the sentences, which, as is well known to students -of history, the Emperors of Germany were accustomed to assume at their -coronations. A recent visit to Frankfort has given me an opportunity of -making and sending you such a list. The materials are collected from -inscriptions on a series of imperial portraits which adorn the principal -chamber in the Römer or town hall of that city. The list, if it have no -other interest, will at least serve to remind us that some of the Latin -aphorisms and "wise saws" current among us now, have been doing duty in -the same capacity for centuries: - -Conrad I. 911.

A glance at these names furnishes a remarkable illustration of -an observation of Sismondi: - - "That the great evil of an elective monarchy, is the continual - struggle on the part of the rulers to make it hereditary." - -It is scarcely necessary to remind your readers, that the integrity -of Charlemagne's empire was preserved until the deposition of Charles -the Fat; that France and Germany did not become separate until after -that event; and that Conrad was, therefore, the first of the German -sovereigns, as he was certainly the first elected by the confederate -princes. - -JOSHUA G. FITCH. - - [Footnote 1: Hallam says, that the imperial prerogative never - reached so high a point as in the reign of this monarch. The - succession to the throne appears to have been regarded as - hereditary; and a very efficient control preserved by the - emperor over the usually insubordinate confederacy.] - - [Footnote 2: At the death of Henry, Frederick the son of Albert - disputed Louis's election, alleging that he had a majority - of genuine votes. He assumed the motto, _Beatâ morte nihil - beatius_.] - - [Footnote 3: All the succeeding princes were of this family.] - - * * * * * - - -POEMS BY MISS DELAVAL. - -If the accompanying songs have not been printed before, they may perhaps -be worth preserving. They were written and set to music by a highly -accomplished lady, the daughter of Edward Hussey Delaval, Esq., the last -of his name and race, sometime Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge; -the cotemporary of Gray and Mason, and well known for his literary and -scientific attainments: - - "Where the murm'ring streams meander, - Where the sportive zephyrs play, - Whilst in sylvan shades I wander, - Softly steal the hours away. - I nor splendor crave nor treasure, - Calmer joys my bosom knows; - Smiling days of rural pleasure, - Peaceful nights of soft repose." - - * * * * * - - "Oh Music, if thou hast a charm, - That may the sense of pain disarm, - Be all thy tender tones address'd - To soothe to peace my Anna's breast, - And bid the magic of thy strain - To still the throb of wakeful pain; - That, rapt in the delightful measure, - Sweet hope again may whisper pleasure, - And seem the notes of spring to hear, - Prelusive to a happier year. - And if thy magic can restore, - The shade of days that smile no more, - And softer, sweeter colors give - To scenes that in remembrance live, - Be to her pensive heart a friend; - And whilst the tender shadows blend, - Recall, ere the brief trace be lost, - Each moment that she priz'd the most." - -E.

I have recently met with the -following letter from Sir {172} Julius Cæsar to Sir W. More, which may -be interesting to some of your readers: - - "After my hartie commendac'ons, &c. Whereas in tymes past the - bearer hereof hath had out of the Parke of Farnham, belonging - to the Bishopricke of Winchester, certaine white clay for the - making of grene potts usually drunk in by the gentlemen of the - Temple, and nowe understandinge of some restraint thereof, - and that you (amongst others) are authorized there in divers - respects during the vacancye of the said Bishopricke; my - request, therefore, unto you is, and the rather for that I am - a member of the said house, that you would in favoʳ of us all - p'mytt the bearer hereof to digge and carrie away so muche of - the said claye as by him shalbe thought sufficient for the - furnishinge of the said house wᵗʰ grene potts aforesaid, paying - as he hath heretofore for the same. In accomplishment whereof - myself with the whole societie shall acknowledge oʳselves much - beholden unto you, and shalbe readie to requite you at all - times hereafter wᵗʰ the like pleasure. And so I bid you moste - heartilie farewel. - - "Inner Temple, this xixᵗʰ of August, 1591. - - "To the right worshipful Sir W'm More, Knight, geve these." - -This letter is printed in the _Losely Manuscripts_, p. 311. - -B. - -Bristol. - -_Quarles and Pascal._--In Quarles' _Emblems_, book i. Emblem vi., there -is a passage: - - "The world's a seeming paradise, but her own - And man's tormentor; - Appearing fixed, yet but a rolling stone - Without a tenter; - _It is a vast circumference where none_ - _Can find a centre._" - -And Pascal, in one of his _Pensées_, says: - - "Le monde est une sphère infinie, dont le centre est partout, - la circonférence nulle part." - -Here we have two propositions, which, whether taken separately, or -opposed to each other, would seem to contain nothing but paradox or -contradiction. And yet I believe they are but different modes of -expressing the same thing. - -HENRY H. BREEN. - -St. Lucia. - -_Offer to intending Editors._--I had hoped that some one would accept -Mr. Crossley's offer of Ware's MS. notes for a new edition of _Foxes and -Firebrands_. I myself will with pleasure contribute a copy of the book to -print from (assuming that it will be properly executed), and also of his -much rarer _Coursing of the Romish Fox_, which should form part of the -volume. - -If any one is disposed to edit the works of Dr. John Rogers, the sub-dean -of Wells, I will, with the same pleasure, supply his Address to the -Quakers, of which I possess Mr. Brand's copy, which he has twice marked -as _extra rare_; and Rodd, from whom I purchased it, had never seen -another copy. The entire works might be comprised in two volumes octavo. - -It is to be regretted that Mr. Flintoff has not yet published Wallis's -_Sermons on the Trinity_, to accompany his excellent edition of Wallis's -_Letters_, 1840. Would it not be possible to obtain so many names as -would defray the expense of printing? - -S. Z. Z.

Speaking of hare-hunting, he says, "It is every honest -man's and good man's chase, and which is indeed the freest, readiest, and -most enduring pastime;" but he classes the hunting of the fox and the -badger together, and he describes them as "Chases of a great deal lesse -use or cunning than any of the former, because they are of a much hotter -scent, and as being intituled stinking scents, and not sweet scents." - -Although he does admit that this chase may be profitable and pleasant for -the time, insomuch as there are not so many defaults, but a continuing -sport; he concludes, "I will not stand much upon them, because they are -not so much desired as the rest." - -R.

BREEN. - -St. Lucia. - -_Memorial of Newton._--The subscription now in progress for raising a -statue to Sir Isaac Newton {173} at Grantham, the place of his early -education, recalls to my recollection a memorial of him, about which -I may possibly learn a few particulars from some one of the numerous -readers of "N. & Q." - -I remember hearing when a school-boy at the college, Grantham, some -thirty-five years ago, that Newton's name, cut by himself on a stone in -the recess of one of the windows of the school-house, was to be seen -there no long time back; but that the stone, or the portion of it which -contained the name, had been cut out by some mason at a time when the -building was being repaired, and was in the possession of a gentleman -then living in the largest house in Grantham--built, I believe, by -himself. Those of your readers who knew Grantham at the time, will not -need to be told the name of the gentleman to whom I allude. The questions -I would wish to ask are these: - -1. Was such a stone to be seen, as described, some forty or fifty years -since? - -2. Is it true that it was removed in the way that I have stated? - -3. If so, in whose possession is the stone at this present time? - -M. A. - -_Mammon._--Perhaps some of your readers could refer me to some work -containing information in reference to the following allegation of -Barnes, on Matt. vi. 24.: - - "Mammon is a Syriac word, _a name given to an idol worshipped - as the god of riches_. It has the same meaning as Plutus - among the Greeks. It is not known that the Jews even formally - worshipped _this idol_, but they used the word to denote - wealth." - -My question relates to the passages in Italics. - -B. H. C. - -_Derivation of Wellesley._--In a note to the lately published -_Autobiographic Sketches_ of Thomas De Quincey, I find (p. 131.) the -following passage: - - "It had been always known that some relationship existed - between the Wellesleys and John Wesley. Their names had in fact - been originally the same; and the Duke of Wellington himself, - in the earlier part of his career, when sitting in the Irish - House of Commons, was always known to the Irish journals as - Captain Wesley. Upon this arose a natural belief, that the - aristocratic branch of the house had improved the name into - Wellesley. But the true process of change had been precisely - the other way. Not Wesley had been expanded into Wellesley, - but inversely, Wellesley had been contracted by household - usage into Wesley. The name must have been _Wellesley_ in its - earliest stage, since it was founded upon a connexion with - Wells Cathedral." - -May I ask what this connexion was, and whence the authority for the -statement? Had the illustrious Duke's adoption of his title from another -town in Somersetshire anything to do with it? - -J. M. - -Cranwells, Bath. - -_The Battle of Cruden--A Query for Copenhagen Correspondents._--In the -year 1059, in the reign of Malcolm III., king of Scotland, a battle was -fought on the Links of Cruden, in the county of Aberdeen, between the -Danes and the Scots, in which the Prince Royal, who commanded the Danish -forces, was slain. He was buried on the Danish field, near to which, -according to the custom of the times, King Malcolm "biggit ane kirk." -This church was overblown with sand, and another built farther inland, -which is the present parish church. To the churchyard wall there leans a -black marble gravestone, about 7 ft. × 3 ft. 6 in., which is said to have -been sent from Denmark as a monument for the grave of his royal highness. -The stone has the appearance of considerable antiquity about it, and -appears to have been inlaid with marble, let into it about half an inch; -the marks of the iron brads, and the lead which secured it, are still -visible. - - "Tradition says it did from Denmark come, - A monument the king sent for his son." - -And it is also stated that, until within the last hundred years, a small -sum of money was annually sent by the Danish government to the minister -of Cruden for keeping the monument in repair. I should be glad to learn -if there are any documents among the royal archives at Copenhagen, which -would invalidate or substantiate the popular tradition. - -ABREDONENSIS. - -_Ampers and_ (& or & [Transcriber's note: Two different typefaces.]).--I -have heard this symbol called both _ampers and_ and _apussé and_.

In what places in the British Isles has the -bird been seen? During what months? Is it gregarious, or solitary? What -are its haunts and habits, and on what does it feed? What is its colour, -shape, and size? Its mode of flight? Does any cabinet contain a preserved -specimen, and has any naturalist described or figured it either as a -British or a foreign bird? - -W.

Being engaged -upon a biography of Major André, he has already collected considerable -matter; but wishes to leave no stone unturned in his task, and therefore -begs his brethren of "N. & Q." to publish therein any anecdotes or -copies of any letters or documents concerning that gallant but ill-fated -gentleman. A reference to passages occurring in printed books bearing -on this subject, might also well be given; for there is so little known -about Major André, and that little scattered piecemeal in so many and -various localities, that it is hardly possible some of them should not -have escaped this writer's notice. - -SERVIENS. - -[Smith's _Authentic Narrative of Major André_, 8vo. 1808, has most -probably been consulted by our correspondent.

And they account for the -fact of the Rosicrucians not being heard of till 1604, by saying that -Rosencreutz bound his disciples by an oath not to promulgate his -doctrines for 120 years after his death. The mystical derivation of the -name is thus given in the _Encyc. Brit._:-- - - "The denomination evidently appears to be derived from the - science of chemistry. It is not compounded, as many imagine, - of the two words _rosa_ and _crux_, which signify _rose_ and - _cross_, but of the latter of these two words and the Latin - _ros_, which signifies _dew_. Of all natural bodies _dew_ was - deemed the most powerful dissolvent of gold; and the _cross_ - in the chemical language is equivalent to _light_, because - the figure of the _cross_ exhibits at the same time the three - letters of which the word _lux_, light, is compounded. Now - _lux_ is called by this sect the seed or menstruum of the red - dragon, or, in other words, gross and corporeal _light_, which, - when properly digested and modified, produces _gold_. Hence - it follows, if this etymology be admitted, that a Rosicrucian - philosopher is one who, by the intervention and assistance - of the _dew_, seeks for light; or, in other words, the - philosopher's stone. - - "The true meaning and energy of this denomination did not - escape the penetration and sagacity of Gassendi, as appears - by his _Examen Philos. Fludd_, tom. iii. s. 15. p. 261.; and - it was more fully explained by Renaudot in his _Conférences - Publiques_, tom. iv. p. 87." - -The encyclopædist remarks that at first the title commanded some respect, -as it seemed to be borrowed from _the arms of Luther, which were a cross -placed upon a rose_. - -The leading doctrines of the Rosicrucians were borrowed from the Eastern -philosophers[4]; the Christian Platonists, schoolmen, and mystics: mixed -up with others derived from writers on natural history, magic, astrology, -and especially alchemy. All these blended together, and served up in a -professional jargon of studied obscurity, formed the doctrinal system of -these strange philosophers. In this system _the doctrine of elemental -spirits_, and the means of communion and alliance with them, and _the -doctrine of signatures_, are the most prominent points. - -Let me refer MR. TAYLOR to Michael Meyer's _Themis Aurea, hoc est de -legibus Fraternitatis Roseæ Crucis_, Col. 1615; the works of Jacob -Behmen, Robt. Fludd, John Heydon, Peter Mormius, Eugene Philalethes; the -works of the Rosicrucian Society, containing seventy-one treatises in -different languages; the Catalogue of Hermetic books by the Abbé Lenglet -du Fresnoi, Paris, 1762; Manget's _Biblioth. Chem. Curios._, Col. 1702, 2 -vols. folio; and the _Theatrum Chemicum_, Argent. 1662, 6 vols. 8vo. - -I must make particular mention of the two most celebrated of the -Rosicrucian works; the first is _La Chiave del Cabinetto_, Col. 1681, -12mo. The author, Joseph Francis Borri, gives a most systematic account -of the doctrine of the Rosic Cross in this interesting little volume. He -was imprisoned for magic and heresy, and died in his prison at Rome in -1695 at the age of seventy years. On this work was founded one still more -remarkable-- - - "Le Compte de Gabalis, ou Entretiens sur les Sciences Secrètes. - 'Quod tanto impendio absconditur etiam solum modo demonstrare, - destruere est.'--_Tertull._ Sur la Copie imprimée à Paris, chez - Claude Barbin.--M.DC.LXXI. 12mo., pp. 150." - -{176} - -This work, thus published anonymously, was from the pen of the Abbé de -Villars. An English translation was published at London in 1714. - -The doctrine of the Rosy Cross entered largely into the literature of the -seventeenth century. This applies especially to the masques of James I. -and Charles I. To the same source Shakspeare owes his _Ariel_, and Milton -much of his _Comus_. - -It is strange, but instructive, to observe how variously different -minds make use of the same materials. What greater contrast can we have -than _The Rape of the Lock_ and _Undine_?--the one redolent of the -petit-maître and the Cockney; the other a work _sui generis_, of human -conceptions the most exquisite and spirit-fragrant. Wieland's _Idris and -Zenide_, Bulwer's _Zanoni_, and Mackay's _Salamandrine_, are also based -on Rosicrucian principles. Mention of the Rosicrucians occurs in Izaak -Walton's Angler and Butler's _Hudibras_--see Zachary Grey's note and -authorities referred to by him. See also two interesting papers on the -subject in Chambers's _Edinb. Journal_, ed. 1846, vol. vi. pp. 298. 316. - -EIRIONNACH. - -July 20, 1853. - -P. S.--I may as well notice here a very curious book of Rosicrucian -emblems, as I have it beside me: - - "Atalanta Fugiens, hoc est, Emblemata Nova de Secretis - Naturæ Chymica. Accommodata partim oculis et intellectui, - figuris cupro incisis, adjectisque sententiis, Epigrammatis - et notis, partim auribus et recreationi animi plus minus 50 - Fugis Musicalibus trium vocum, quarum duæ ad unam simplicem - melodiam distichis canendis peraptam correspondeant, non - absq; singulari jucunditate videnda, legenda, meditanda, - intelligenda, dijudicanda, canenda, et audienda.

Small 4to. pp. 211. - -The title-page is adorned with emblematical figures. The work contains -a portrait of the author, and fifty emblems executed with much spirit. -Amongst others we have a Salamander in the fire, a green lion, a -hermaphrodite, a dragon, &c. Every right page has a motto, an emblem, and -an epigram under the emblem in Latin. The left page gives the same in -German, with the Latin words set to music. After each emblem we have a -"Discursus." - -The following remarks on the title occur in the preface: - - "Atalanta Poëtis celebrata est propter fugam, qua omnes procos - in certamine antevertit, ideoque ipsis victis pro Virgine, - præmio Victoriæ proposito, mors obtigit, donec ab Hippomene, - Juvene audaciore et provido, superata et obtenta sit trium - malorum aureorum per Vices inter currendum objectu, quæ dum - illa tolleret, præventa est ab eo, metam jam attingente: Hæc - Atalanta ut fugit, sic una vox musicalis semper fugit ante - aliam et altera insequitur, ut Hippomenes: In tertia tamen - stabiliuntur et firmantur, quæ simplex est et unius valoris, - tanquam malo aureo: Hæc eadem virgo merè chymica est, nempe - Mercurius philosophicus a sulfure aureo in fuga fixatus et - retentus, quem si quis sistere noverit, sponsam, quam ambit, - habebit, sin minus, perditionem suarum rerum est interitum," - &c.--Page 9. - - [Footnote 4: The Jewish speculations on the subject of - elemental spirits and angels (especially those that assumed - corporeal forms, and united themselves with the daughters - of men) were largely drawn on by the Rosicrucians. (See the - famous _Liber Zohar_, Sulzbaci, 1684, fol.; and Philo, _Lib. de - Gigantibus_. See also Hoornbeek, _Lib. pro Convert. Jud._, Lug. - Bat., 1665, 4to.)] - - * * * * * - - -SEARSON'S POEMS. - -(Vol. vii., p. 131.) - -John Searson was a merchant in Philadelphia in the year 1766. A few days -before seeing the inquiry respecting him, I came across his advertisement -in the _Pennsylvania Gazette_; but not having made a note of the date, I -have since been unable to find it. His stock was of a very miscellaneous -character, as "Bibles and warming pans," "spelling-books and swords," -figured in it in juxtaposition. He taught school at one time in Basking -Ridge, New Jersey. - -A copy of his poem on "Down Hill" is before me; and it is quite as -curious a production as the volume of poems which he afterwards published. - -He describes himself in the title-page as "Late Master of the Free School -in Colerain, and formerly of New York, Merchant." The volume was printed -in 1794 by subscription at Colerain. - -The work is introduced by "A Poem, being a Cursory View of Belfast Town," -thus commencing: - - "With pleasure I view the Town of Belfast, - Where many dear friends their lots have been cast: - The Buildings are neat, the Town very clean, - And Trade very brisk are here to be seen; - Their Shipping are numerous, as I behold, - And Merchants thrive here in riches, I'm told." - -Here are some farther specimens from this poem: - - "I've walk'd alone, and view'd the _Paper Mill_, - Its walk, the eye with pleasure fill. - I've view'd the Mountains that surround BELFAST, - And find they are romantic to the last. - ... - The Church of BELFAST is superb and grand, - And to the Town an ornament does stand; - Their Meeting Houses also is so neat, - The congregation large, fine and complete." - -The volume contains a dedication to the Rev. Mr. Josiah Marshall, rector -of Maghera, a preface, a table of contents, and "A Prayer previous to the -Poem." - -The whole book is so intensely ridiculous that it is difficult to -select. The following are rather chosen for their brevity than for any -pre-eminent absurdity: - - "The Earl of Bristol here some time do dwell, - Which after-ages sure of him will tell." - -{177} - - "Down Hill's so pleasing to the traveller's sight, - And th' marine prospect would your heart delight." - - "The rabbit tribe about me run their way, - Their little all to man becomes a prey. - The busy creatures trot about and run; - Some kill them with a net, some with a gun. - Alas! how little do these creatures know - For what they feed their young, so careful go. - The little creatures trot about and sweat, - Yet for the use of man is all they get." - - "He closed his eyes on ev'ry earthly thing. - _Angles_ surround his bed: to heaven they bring - The soul, departed from its earthly clay. - He died, he died! and calmly pass'd away, - His children not at home; his widow mourn, - And all his friends, in tears, seem quite forlorn." - -Some of the London booksellers ought to reprint this work as a curiosity -of literature. Some of the subscribers took a number of copies, and one -might be procured for the purpose. The country seats of the largest -subscribers are described in the poem. - -The book ends with these lines (added by the "devil" of the -printing-office, no doubt): - - "The above rural, pathetic, and very sublime performance was - corrected, in every respect, by the author himself." - -This is erased with a pen, and these words written below--"Printer's -error." - -UNEDA. - -Philadelphia. - - * * * * * - - -"FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS," ETC. - -(Vol. v., p. 100.) - -Since my former communication on the use of the phrase "From the sublime -to the ridiculous there is but a step," I have met with some farther -examples of kindred forms of expression, which you may deem worth -inserting in "N. & Q." - -Shakspeare has an instance in _Romeo and Juliet_, where he describes -"Love" as-- - - "A madness most discreet, - A choaking gall, and a preserving sweet." - -Quarles has it in his _Emblems_, Book iv. Epigram 2.:-- - - "Pilgrim, trudge on; what makes thy soul complain? - Crowns thy complaint; the way to rest is pain: - The road to resolution lies by doubt; - The next way home's the farthest way about." - -We find it in this couplet in Butler: - - "For discords make the sweetest airs, - And curses are a kind of prayers." - -Rochester has it in the line-- - - "An eminent fool must be a man of parts." - -It occurs in Junius's remark-- - - "Your Majesty may learn hereafter how nearly the slave and the - tyrant are allied." - -and in the following well-known passage in the same writer: - - "He was forced to go through every division, resolution, - composition, and refinement of political chemistry, before - he happily arrived at the _caput mortuum_ of vitriol in your - grace. Flat and insipid in your retired state; but, brought - into action, you become vitriol again. Such are the extremes - of alternate indolence or fury which have governed your whole - administration." - -The thought here (be it said in passing) seems to have been adopted from -these lines in Rochester: - - "Wit, like tierce claret, when 't begins to pall, - Neglected lies, and 's of no use at all; - But in its full perfection of decay - Turns vinegar, and comes again in play." - -But the most beautiful application of this sentiment that I have met -with, occurs in an essay on "The Uses of Adversity," by Mr. Herman -Hooker, an American writer:-- - - "A pious lady, who had lost her husband, was for a time - inconsolable. She could not think, scarcely could she speak, - of anything but him. Nothing seemed to take her attention but - the three promising children he had left her, singing to her - his presence, his look, his love. But soon these were all - taken ill, and died within a few days of each other; and now - the childless mother was calmed even by the greatness of the - stroke. As the lead that goes quickly down to the ocean's depth - ruffled its surface less than lighter things, so the blow which - was strongest did not so much disturb her calm of mind, but - drove her to its proper trust." - -HENRY H. BREEN. - -St. Lucia. - - * * * * * - - -PASSAGE IN THE BURIAL SERVICE. - -(Vol. iii., p. 78.) - -"In the midst of life we are in death." - -A writer in the _Parish Choir_ (vol. iii. p. 140.) gives the following -account of this passage. He says: - - "The passage in question is found in the _Cantarium Sti. - Galli_, or choir-book of the monks of St. Gall in Switzerland, - published in 1845, with, however, a slight deviation from the - text, as we are accustomed to it. - - '_Mediâ Vitâ of St. Notker._ - - 'Mediâ Vitâ in morte sumus: quem quærimus adjutorem, nisi - Te Domine, qui pro peccatis nostris justè irasceris. Ad te - clamaverunt patres nostri, speraverunt, et liberasti eos. - Sancte Deus: ad te clamaverunt patres nostri, clamaverunt et - non sunt confusi. Sancte Fortis, ne despicias nos in tempore - senectutis: cum defecerit virtus nostra, ne derelinquas nos. - Sancte et misericors Salvator amaræ morti ne tradas nos.' - - "On consulting the _Thesaurus Hymnologicus_ of Daniel (vol. - ii. p. 329.) I find the following notice. {178} It is called - 'Antiphona pro Peccatis,' or 'de Morte;' and the text there - given corresponds nearly with that in our Burial Service. - - "Mediâ vitâ in morte sumus: - Quem quærimus adjutorem nisi Te Domine, - Qui pro peccatis nostris justè irasceris: - Sancte Deus, sancte fortis, sancte et misericors Salvator, - Amaræ morti ne tradas nos. - - "Rambach says, '"In the midst of life" occurs in MSS. of the - thirteenth century, as an universally common dirge and song - of supplication on all melancholy occasions, and was in this - century regularly sung at Compline on Saturdays. A German - translation was known long before the time of Luther, and was - enlarged by him by the addition of two strophes.' Martene - describes it as forming part of a religious service for New - Year's Eve, composed about the year 1800. - - "Hoffmann says that this anthem 'by Notker the Stammerer, - a monk of St. Gall's (an. 912), was an extremely popular - battle-song, through the singing of which, before and during - the fight, friend and foe hoped to conquer. It was also, on - many occasions, used as a kind of incantation song. Therefore - the Synod of Cologne ordered (an. 1316) that no one should sing - the _Mediâ vitâ_ without the leave of his bishop.' - - "Daniel adds that it is not, to his knowledge, now used by the - Roman Church in divine worship; but that the admirable hymn of - Luther, 'Mitten wir im Leben sind,' still flourishes amongst - the Protestants of Germany, just as the translation in our - Prayer-Book is popular with us." - -GEO. A. TREVOR. - -Your correspondent J. G. T. asks whence comes the expression in the -Burial Service, "In the midst of life we are in death?" There are some -lines in Petrarch which express precisely the same idea in nearly the -self-same words; but as the thought is by no means an unlikely one to -occur to two separate and independent authors, we may not go to the -length of charging the seeming plagiarism upon the compilers of our -Prayer-Book. I have mislaid the exact reference[5], but subjoin the lines -themselves: - - "Omnia paulatim consumit longior ætas, - _Vivendoque simul morimur_, rapimurque manendo: - Ipse mihi collatus enim, non ille videbor; - Frons alia est, moresque alii, nova mentis imago, - Voxque aliud mutata sonat." - -JOHN BOOKER. - -Prestwich. - - [Footnote 5: Barbato Sulmonensi, epist. i.--ED.] - - * * * * * - - -PATRICK'S PURGATORY. - -(Vol. vii., p. 552.) - -Dr. Lanigan, in his learned _Ecclesiastical History of Ireland_ (vol. -i. p. 368.), states that the so-called Patrick's Purgatory is situated -at Lough Derg (Donegal). It is never mentioned in any of the lives of -the apostle, nor heard of till the eleventh century, the period at -which the canons regular of St. Augustine first appeared, for it was to -persons of that order, as the story goes, that St. Patrick confided the -care of that cavern of wonders. Now there were no such persons in the -island in which it is situated, nor in that of St. Davoc [Dabeoc?] in -the same lake, until about the beginning of the twelfth century. This -purgatory, or purging place, of Lough Derg, was set up against another -Patrick's purgatory, viz. that of Croagh Patrick, mentioned by Jocelyn, -which, however ill-founded the vulgar opinion concerning it, was less -objectionable. Some writers have said that it got the name of Patrick's -Purgatory from an Abbot Patrick, that lived in the ninth century; but -neither were there canons regular of St. Augustine at that time, nor were -such abridged modes of atoning to the Almighty for the sins of a whole -life then thought of. It was demolished in the year 1497, by order of the -Pope, although it has since been in some manner restored. - -The original Patrick's Purgatory then, it would appear, was at Croagh -Patrick, in Mayo, near Westport; speaking of the pilgrimages made to -which, the monk Jocelyn (in his _Life of St. Patrick_, written A.D. 1180, -cap. 172.) says that-- - - "Some of those who spent a night there stated that they had - been subjected to most fearful torments, which had the effect, - as they supposed, of purging them from their sins, for which - reason also certain of them gave to that place the name of St. - Patrick's Purgatory." - -By the authority of the Lords Justices who governed Ireland in 1633, -previously to the appointment of Wentworth, Lough Derg Purgatory was -once more suppressed; but the sort of piety then fostered among the -members of the Roman communion in Ireland could ill afford to resign -without a struggle what was to them a source of so much consolation. -High influence was, therefore, called into action to procure the -reversal of the sentence; and the Roman Catholic Queen of Charles I. -was induced to address to the Lord Deputy of Ireland a letter in which -she requested that he would be pleased "to allow, that the devotions -which the people of that country have ever been wont to pay to a St. -Patrick's place there, may not be abolished." The Lord Deputy declined -acceding to this request, and said in his reply, "I fear, at this time, -when some men's zeal hath run them already, not only beyond their wits, -_but almost forth of their allegiance too_, it might furnish them with -something to say in prejudice and scandal to his majesty's government, -which, for the present indeed, is by all means to be avoided." And adds, -"your Majesty might do passing well to let this devotion rest awhile." -After this second suppression, the devotion has a second time been "in -some manner restored;" and {179} multitudes throng to the place on -the faith of a false tradition, so long since exposed and exploded by -their own authorities. Three hundred and fifty years ago, the Pope, -the representative of the Bishop of Clogher, and the head of the -Franciscans in Donegal, combined their efforts to put down the scandalous -fabrication; but yet it remains to this day an object of cherished -religious veneration--an object of confidence and faith, on which many -a poor soul casts itself to find consolation and repose. And those -multitudes of pilgrims, year after year, assemble there, no influence -which they look to for guidance forbidding them, to do homage to the vain -delusion. - -D. W. S. P. will find farther information on this subject in _The -Catholic Layman_ for April last: Curry, Dublin. - -WILLIAM BLOOD. - -Wicklow. - - * * * * * - - -LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL. - -(Vol. viii., p. 100.) - -In answer to W. L. M.'s inquiry, "where the virtuous and patriotic -William Lord Russell was buried?" I beg to state that I possess a -pamphlet entitled: - - "The whole Tryal and Defence of William Lord Russel, who Dyed - a Martyr to the _Romish_ Fury in the Year 1683, with the - Learned Arguments of the Council on both sides. Together with - his Behaviour and Speech upon the Scaffold: His Character and - Behaviour. London: printed by J. Bradford, at the Bible in - Fetter Lane." - -There is no date to it; but from the appearance of the paper, type, a -rude woodcut of the execution, &c., I doubt not that it was printed soon -after the event, or certainly immediately after the Revolution, to meet -the popular wishes to have information on the subject. It consists of -sixteen octavo pages, very closely printed. The opening paragraph says: - - "Among the many that suffered in a _Protestant_ cause [all - the _Italics_ used in this communication are those of the - pamphlet], and indeed whose measure seem'd to be the hardest of - all, was this honorable person _William_ Lord _Russel_, who was - generally lamented for his excellent Temper and good Qualities; - being allowed to be one of the most sober and judicious - Noblemen in the Kingdom, which even his Enemies could not deny; - and the Merit and Esteem he bore was more cause of Offence - against him than any Matter that was reap'd up at his Tryal; - all which in effect was merely grounded upon Malice (I mean - _Popish_ Malice) that could not be forgot, from his Lordship's - being one of those earnest sticklers for _Protestant_ - Liberty, and even the very foremost that prefer'd the Bill of - Exclusion," &c. - -Then follows the trial, headed "July 13, 1683, the _Lord_ Russel _came to -his Tryal at the_ Old Bailey." The indictment is described; the names of -the jury are given; judges and counsel named; the evidence, examinations, -and cross-examinations (by Lord Russel) very interestingly narrated: the -Report concluding, after a short address from Lord Russel, "Then the -Court adjourned till four in the afternoon, and brought him in guilty." - -These particulars are followed by "_The last Speech and Carriage of the -Lord_ Russel _upon the Scaffold, &c._" As to the executioner's work, all -other accounts that I have seen state that after "two" strokes the head -was severed from the body. The publication says: - - "The Executioner, missing at his first Stroke, though with - that he took away his Life, at two more severed the Head from - the Body.... Mr. Sheriff [continues the account] ordered his - Friends or Servants to take the Body, and dispose of it as they - pleased, being given them by His Majesty's _Favour and Bounty_." - -The narrative proceeds: - - "His Body was conveyed to _Cheneys_ in _Buckinghamshire_, where - 'twas Buried among his Ancestors. There was a great _Storm_, - and many loud _Claps_ of _Thunder_ the Day of his _Martyrdom_. - An _Elegy_ was made on him immediately after his Death, which - seems, by what we have of it, to be writ with some _Spirit_, - and a great deal of Truth and Good-will; only this Fragment - on't could be retriev'd, which yet may not be unwelcome to the - Reader: - - '_'Tis done--he's_ Crown'd, _and one bright_ Martyr _more_, - _Black_ Rome, _is charg'd on thy too bulky score._ - _All_ like himself, _he mov'd so calm, so free_, - _A general whisper question'd_--Which is he? - _Decked like a_ Lover--_tho' pale Death's his_ Bride, - _He_ came, _and_ saw, _and_ overcame, _and_ dy'd. - _Earth weeps, and all the vainly pitying Crowd_: - _But Heaven his Death in_ Thunder _groan'd aloud.'_" - - -A "sketch of his character" closes the account. Perhaps W. S. M. may deem -these particulars not wholly uninteresting, but tolerably conclusive, -considering the time of publication, when the fact must have been -notorious. - -A HERMIT AT HAMPSTEAD. - - * * * * * - - -OAKEN TOMBS, ETC. - -(Vol. vii., p. 528.) - -At Banham, Norfolk, in a recess in the wall of the north aisle of the -church, is an oaken effigy of a knight in armour in a recumbent position. -Blomefield says: - - "It is plain that it was made for Sir Hugh Bardolph, Knight, - sometime lord of Gray's Manor, in this town, who died in 1203, - for under his left arm there is a large cinquefoil, which is - the badge of that family," &c. - -Since he wrote, however (1739), with a view to the better preservation -of this interesting relic, some spirited churchwarden has caused it to -be {180} well painted and sanded so that it now looks _almost_ as well -as stone. At the same time, the marks by which Blomefield thought to -identify it are necessarily obliterated. - -T. B. B. H. - -William de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, who was slain at Bayonne in -1296,--his effigy in wood is in St. Edmund's Chapel in Westminster Abbey, -covered with enamelled brass. There is also in Abergavenny Church, -amongst the general wreck of monumental remains there, a cross-legged -effigy in wood, represented in chain mail; which the late Sir Samuel -Meyrick supposed to have been that of William de Valence. It is mentioned -in Coxe's _Monmouthshire_, p. 192. - -The effigy of Aymer de Valence referred to in Whitaker ("N. & Q.," Vol. -vii., p. 528.) is not of wood; he evidently refers to that of William de -Valence. - -In Gloucester Cathedral there is the wooden monument of a cross-legged -knight attributed to Robert Duke of Normandy, the eldest son of the -Conqueror; but it is probably of a little later period. - -THOMAS W. KING (York Herald). - -College of Arms. - -In the Cathedral of Gloucester, there is a wooden effigy of the -unfortunate Robert Duke of Normandy, eldest son of the Conqueror. It is -so many years since I saw it, that I do not offer any description: but, -if my memory be correct, it has the legs crossed, and (what is curious) -is loose, and can be turned about on the tomb. - -A. C. M. - -Exeter. - -On the south side of the chancel of St. Giles' Church, Durham, is a -wooden effigy in full armour; the head resting on a helmet, and the hands -raised as in prayer. It is supposed to be the tomb of John Heath, who -became possessed of the Hospital of St. Giles Kepyer, and is known to -have been buried in the chancel of St. Giles' Church. He died in 1590. At -the feet of the wooden effigy, are the words "HODIE MICHI." The figure -was restored in colours about ten years ago. - -CUTHBERT BEDE, B. A. - - * * * * * - - -"COULD WE WITH INK," &c. - -(Vol. viii., p. 127.) - -The _bonâ fide_ author of the following lines-- - - "Could we with ink the ocean fill, - And were the heavens of parchment made, - Were every stalk on earth a quill, - And every man a scribe by trade; - To write the love of God above, - Would drain the ocean dry; - Nor could the scroll contain the whole, - Though stretch'd from sky to sky." - -is Rabbi Mayir ben Isaac. The above eight lines are almost a literal -translation of four Chaldee ones, which form part of a beautiful ode on -the attributes of God, not unmixed with a considerable proportion of the -fabulous, which is sung in every synagogue during the service of the -first day of the feast of Pentecost. - -May I now be permitted to ask you, or any of your numerous -correspondents, to inform me who was the _bonâ fide_ translator of Rabbi -Mayir ben Isaac's lines? The English lines are often quoted by itinerant -advocates of charity societies as having been found inscribed, according -to some, on the walls of a lunatic asylum, according to others, on the -walls of a prison, as occasion requires; but extempore quotations on -platforms are sometimes vague. - -MOSES MARGOLIOUTH. - -Wybunbury. - -The verses are in Grose's _Olio_ (p. 292.), and are there said to be -written by nearly an idiot, then living (March 16, 1779) at Cirencester. -It happens, however, that long before the supposed idiot was born, one -Geoffrey Chaucer made use of the same idea, and the same expressions, -although applied to a totally different subject, viz. in his "Balade -warnynge men to beware of deceitful women:"-- - - "In soth to saie though all the yerth so wanne - Wer parchment smoth, white and scribbabell, - And the gret see, that called is th' Ocean, - Were tourned into ynke blackir than sabell, - Eche sticke a pen, eche man a scrivener able, - Not coud thei writin woman's treacherie, - Beware, therefore, the blind eteth many a flie." - -Again in the "Remedie of Love," the same lines occur with a few slight -alterations. - -In vol. x. of the _Modern Universal History_, p. 430. _note_, I meet with -this sentence: - - "He was succeeded by Jochanan; not in right of descent, but - of his extraordinary merits; which the Rabbies, according to - custom, have raised to so surprising a height, that, according - to them, if the whole heavens were paper, all the trees in the - world pens, and all the men writers, they would not suffice to - pen down all his lessons." - -In later times, in Miss C. Sinclair's _Hill and Valley_, p. 25., we have: - - "If the lake could be transformed into an ink-stand, the - mountains into paper; and if all the birds that hover on high - were to subscribe their wings for quills, it would be still - insufficient to write half the praise and admiration that are - justly due." - -C.

The hypo. is certainly deteriorated -when no washing is adopted. I think it is best to pour off the first -quantity applied into a cup kept for the purpose; this is discoloured: I -then pour on more clean hypo., and let it remain till the picture clears, -and pour _this_ into another cup or bottle for future use. What was -poured into the first cup may, when a sufficient quantity is obtained, -be filtered, and by adding more of the salt is not useless. I pour on -merely enough at first to wash off the developing fluid, and pour it -off at once. The picture is cleared much sooner if the saturated hypo. -solution is warmed, which I do by plunging the bottle into a pewter pint -pot filled with hot water. - -W. M. F. - -_Stereoscopic Angles_ (Vol. viii., pp. 109. 157.).--I perfectly -agree with your correspondent MR. T. L. MERRITT (p. 109.) respecting -"stereoscopic angles," having arrived at the same conclusion some months -since, while at Hastings, where I produced stereoscopic pictures by -moving the camera _only two inches_: having in one, _seven_ houses and -_five_ bathing-machines; and in the other, _five_ houses and _eight_ -bathing-machines. If I had separated the two pictures more, I should have -had _all bathing-machines_ in one and _all houses_ in the other; which -convinced me that nothing more is required than the width of the two eyes -for all distances, or, slightly to exaggerate it, to three inches, which -will produce a pleasing and natural effect: for it is quite certain that -our eyes do not become wider apart as we recede from an object, and that -the intention is to give a true representation of nature as seen by one -person. Now, most stereoscopic pictures represent nature as it never -could be seen by any one person, from the same point of view; and I feel -confident that all photographers, who condescend to make stereoscopic -pictures, will arrive at the same conclusion before the end of this -season. - -If this be correct, all difficulty is removed; for it is always advisable -to take two pictures of the same prospect, in case one should not be -good: and two very indifferent negatives will combine into one very good -positive, when viewed by the stereoscope: thus proving the old saying, -that two negatives make an affirmative. - -HENRY WILKINSON. - -Brompton. - -_Sisson's Developing Solution._--In answer to S. B.'s inquiry, I beg to -say, that I have not tried the above solution as a bath. I have always -poured it on, believing that it was easier to observe the progress of -the picture by that mode. If S. B. will forward me his address, I shall -be happy to enter more minutely into my mode of operating with it than -I can through the medium of "N. & Q." I have received other favourable -testimony as to the value of my developing fluid for glass positives. - -While I am writing, will you allow me to ask your photographic -correspondents whether any of them have tried Mr. Müller's paper process -referred to by Mr. Delamotte at p. 145. of his work? It was first -announced in the _Athenæum_ of Nov. 2, 1851. When I first commenced -photography (June, 1852), I tried the process; and from what I did -with it, when I was almost entirely ignorant of the manipulation, I am -inclined to think it a valuable process. The sharpness of the tracery in -my church windows, in a picture I took by the process, is remarkable. -Mr. Delamotte truly says: "This is a most striking discovery, as it -supersedes the necessity of any developing agent after the light has -acted on the paper." Mr. Müller says, that simple washing in water seems -to be sufficient to fix the picture. This is also a striking discovery, -and totally unlike any other very sensitive process that I am acquainted -with; and more striking still, that the process should not have been more -practised. - -J.

A., - one of the six preachers in Christ Church, Canterbury, 1773. - -Mr. Duncombe quotes several statements from Drury which coincide with -those of the Reverend William Hirst, the astronomer, who touched at -Madagascar, on his voyage to India, in 1759. Ten years afterwards Mr. -Hirst perished in the Aurora, and with him the author of _The Shipwreck_. - -BOLTON CORNEY. - -_Real Signatures versus Pseudo-Names_ (Vol. vi., p. 310.; Vol. viii., -p. 94.).--There is no doubt that the straightforwardness of open and -undisguised communications to your excellent miscellany {182} is -desirable; but a few words may be said on behalf of your anonymous -contributors. If the rule were established that every correspondent -should add his name to his communication, many of your friends might, -from motives of delicacy, decline asking a question or hazarding a reply. -By adopting a _nom-de-guerre_, men eminent in their various pursuits can -quietly and unostentatiously ask a question, or contribute information. -If the latter be done with reference to standard works of authority, or -to MSS. preserved in our public depositories, the disclosure of the name -of the contributor adds nothing to the matter contributed, and he may -rejoice that he has been the means of promoting the objects of the "N. -& Q." without the "blushing to find it fame." It should, however, be a -_sine quâ non_ that all original communications, and those of matters of -fact, should be authenticated by a real signature, when no reference can -be given to authorities not accessible to the public; and it is to be -regretted that such authentication has not, in such cases, been generally -afforded. - -THOS.

Why should this be? That it did imply an -imputation, I judge as well from the vindication of the lady by King -Edward, as also from the proverbial expression used in Scotland, and to -be found in Scott's _Works_, of "casting a leggin girth," as synonymous -with a female "faux pas." I have a conjecture, but should not like to -venture it, without inquiring the general impression as to the origin of -this notion. - -A. B.

Adam, Bishop of -Caithness, was burnt by the mob near Thurso, in 1222, for oppression in -the exaction of tithes; John, Earl of Orkney and Caithness, was killed in -retaliation by the bishop's party in 1231. - -The language spoken at that time on the sea-coast of Caithness must -have been Norse. Sutherland would appear to have been wrested from -the Orkney-Norwegians before that period, and the Celtic tongue and -race gaining on the Norse; but on the sea-coast of Caithness I should -apprehend the Norse continued to be the spoken tongue till a later -period, when it was superseded by the Scottish. The Norwegians in the -end of the ninth century colonised Orkney, and expelled or destroyed the -former inhabitants. The Western Isles were also subjugated by them at -that time, and probably Caithness, or at all events a little later. It -would be desirable to know the race and tongue previously existing in -Caithness, and if these were lost in the Norwegians and Norse, and an -earlier Christianity in Scandinavian Paganism. This may, however, lead -to the unfathomably dark subject of the Picts. Is it known when Norse -ceased to be spoken in Caithness? The story of the burning of the Bishop -of Caithness forms the conclusion of the _Orkneyinga Saga_; and vide -Torfæus, _Orcades_, p. 154., and Dalrymple's _Annals of Scotland_, of -dates 1222 and 1231. - -F. - -_Martha Blount_ (Vol. vii., pp. 38. 117.).--At "Brandon," the seat of the -Harrisons on the James River, Virginia, is a likeness of Miss Blount by -Sir Godfrey Kneller; and at "Berkeley," also on the James River, and the -residence of another branch of the same family, is one of the Duchess -of Montagu, also by Kneller. Thus much in answer to the Query. But in -this connexion I would mention, that on the James River are many fine -pictures, portraits of worthies famous in English history. At "Shirley" -there is one of Col. Hill, by Vandyke; at Brandon, one of Col. Byrd, by -Vandyke; also Lord Orrery, Duke of Argyle, Lord Albemarle, Lord Egmont, -Sir Robert Walpole, and others, by Kneller. - -These pictures are mentioned in chap. ix. of _Travels in North America -during the Years_ 1834-1836, by the Hon.

And although W.

H. C. is perfectly correct in saying, -that I was mistaken in my quotation from Fairfax's _Tasso_. It only -remains for {183} me to explain how I fell into the error. It was, then, -from using Mr. Knight's edition of the work for though the orthography -was modernised, which I like, I never dreamed of an editor's taking the -liberty of altering the text of his author. I love to be corrected when -wrong, and here express my thanks to B. H. C. I inform him that there is -another passage in Shakspeare with _its_ in it, but not having marked it, -I cannot find it just now: I think it is in _Lear_. - -I have said that I like modernised orthography. We have modernised that -of the Bible, and of the dramatists; why then are we so superstitious -with respect to the barbarous system of Spenser? I am convinced that the -_Fairy Queen_, if printed in modern orthography, would find many readers -who are repelled by the uncouth and absurd spelling of the poet, who -wanted to rhyme to the eye as well as to the ear.

His brother, Richard Oldham, appointed 22nd Abbot of -St. Werburgh's Abbey, Chester, in 1452, was afterwards elevated to the -bishoprick of Man, and, dying Oct. 13, 1485, was buried at Chester Abbey, -Chester. - -T.

It bears throughout -unmistakeable evidence of its transatlantic origin. No person, who had -not actually witnessed that curious vegetable parasite, the _Spanish -moss_ of the southern states of America, hanging down in long, hairy-like -plumes from the branches of a large tree, would have imagined the lines,-- - - "The downy clouds droop - Like moss upon a tree." - -Who, again, could believe that Shelley, an English gentleman and scholar, -could ever, either in writing or conversation, have made use of the -common American vulgarism, "play hell!" - -{184} - -The question of the authorship of such a production, apart from its being -attributed to Shelley, is, in my humble opinion, a matter of little or no -interest. But as a probable guess, I should say that it carries strong -internal evidence of having been written by that erratic mortal, Edgar -Poe. - -W. PINKERTON. - -Ham. - -_Lady Percy, Wife of Hotspur (Daughter of Edmumd Mortimer, Earl of -March)_ (Vol. viii., p. 104.).--On reference to the volume and page -of Miss Strickland's _Lives of the Queens of England_, cited by your -correspondent G., I find that not only does this lady, by her sweeping -assertion, bastardise the second E. of Northumberland, but, in her -zeal to outsay all that "ancient heralds" ever can have said, she -annihilates, or at least reduces to a myth, the mother of Thomas, eighth -Lord Clifford. This infelicitous statement may have been corrected in -the second edition of the _Lives_, for in "N. & Q.," Vol. vii., p. 42., -there is a detailed pedigree tracing the descent of Jane Seymour through -Margaret Wentworth, her mother, by an intermarriage with a Wentworth, -and a _granddaughter_ of Hotspur, Lord Percy, (not _daughter_, as Miss -Strickland writes) from the blood-royal of England. My object, however, -in writing this is not farther to point attention to Miss Strickland's -mistake, but to invite discussion to the point where this pedigree may -be possibly faulty. I will not say "all ancient heralds," but some -heralds, at least, of acknowledged reputation, viz. Nicolas, Collins, -and Dugdale[6], have stated that the wife of Sir Philip Wentworth was -a daughter of Roger fifth Lord Clifford. If this be so, in truth there -is an end at once of the Seymour's claim to royal lineage; for it is an -undoubted fact that it was the grandson of Roger fifth Lord, namely, -John, seventh Lord Clifford, K.G., who married Hotspur's only daughter. - -C.

The conversation turned much upon the statue, and -the exact period at which the great Duke is represented. Wyatt said that -he was represented at that moment when he is supposed to have used the -words: "Up, guards, and at them!" It having been questioned whether he -ever uttered the words, I asked the artist whether, when he was taking -the Duke's portrait, the Duke himself acknowledged using them? To which -he replied, that the Duke said that he did not recollect having uttered -those words and, in fact, that he could not say what expression he did -use on that occasion. The company at dinner seemed much satisfied with -Wyatt's authority on this point. - -J. D. GARDNER. - -_Pennycomequick_ (Vol. viii., p. 113.).--A similar story to that related -by your correspondent MR. HELE is told of Falmouth. Previously to its -being incorporated as a town by Charles II., it was called _Smithick_, -from a smith's shop, near a _creek_, which extended up the valley. The -old Cornish word _ick_ signifies a "creek;" and as it became a village it -was called "Pennycomequick," which your correspondent H. C. K. clearly -explains. The Welsh and Cornish languages are in close affinity. The -name "Pennycomequick" is evidently a corrupted old Cornish name: see -Pryce's _Archæologia Cornu-Britannica_, v. "Pen," "Coomb," and "Ick," -the head of the narrow valley, defile or creek. It has been thought by -some to mean "the head of the cuckoo's valley;" and your correspondent's -Welsh derivation seems to countenance such a translation. The cuckoo is -known in Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall as "the _Gawk_ Gwich." MR. HELE, -perhaps, will be amused at the traditional story of the Falmouthians -respecting the origin of Pennycomequick. Before the year 1600, there -were few houses on the site of the present town: a woman, who had been a -servant with an ancestor of the late honourable member for West Cornwall, -Mr. Pindarves, came to reside there, and that gentleman directed her to -brew some good ale, as he should occasionally visit the place with his -friends. On one of his visits he was disappointed, and expressed himself -angry at not finding any ale. It appeared on explanation that a Dutch -vessel came into the harbour the preceding day, and the Dutchmen drained -her supply; she said the _Penny come so quick_, she could not refuse to -sell it. - -JAMES CORNISH. - -Falmouth. - -_Captain Booth of Stockport_ (Vol. viii., p. 102.).--In answer to MR. -HUGHES'S inquiry about this antiquary, I beg to state that he will find -an _Ordinary of Arms_, drawn up by Captain Booth of Stockport, in the -Shepherd Library, Preston, Lancashire. It is one among the numerous -valuable MSS. given by the executors of the late historian of Lancashire, -Ed. Baines, Esq., M.P., to that library. In Lysons' _Magna Britannia_ -(volume Cheshire), your correspondent will also find a mention of a John -Booth, Esq., of Twemlow, Cheshire, who was the author of various heraldic -manuscripts. It may, perhaps, be hardly necessary to inform Cheshire -antiquaries that an almost inexhaustible fund of information, on heraldry -and genealogy, is to be found in the manuscripts of Randle Holme, -formerly of Chester, which are {185} now preserved among the Harleian -MSS. in the British Museum. - -JAYTEE. - -_"Hurrah," &c._ (Vol. viii., p. 20.).--The _clameur de Haro_ still exists -in Jersey, and is the ancient form there of opposing all encroachments -on landed property, and the first step to be taken by which an ejectment -can be finally obtained. It was decided in Pinel and Le Gallais, that the -_clameur de Haro_ does not apply to the opposal of the execution of a -decree of the Royal Court. - -It is a remarkable feature in this process, that it is carried on by the -crown; and that the losing party, whether plaintiff or defendant, is -mulcted in a small fine to the king, because the sacred name of _Haro_ is -not to be carelessly invoked with impunity. - -See upon the subject of the _clameur_, _Le Geyt sur les Constitutions, -etc. de Jersey_, par Marett, vol. i. p. 294. - -M. L. - -Lincoln's Inn. - -I do not think that the explanation of these words, quoted by MR. BRENT, -is much more probable than that of "Hierosolyma est perdita." In the -first place, if we are to believe Dr. Johnson, _hips_ are not _sloes_, -but the fruit or seed-vessels of the dog-rose or briar, which usually go -by that name, and from which it would be difficult to make any infusion -resembling wine. In the next place, it will be found, on reference to -Ben Jonson's lines "over the door at the entrance into the Apollo" (vol. -vii. p. 295., ed. 1756), of which the distich forms a part, that it is -misquoted. The words are,-- - - "Hang up all the poor _hop_-drinkers, - Cries old Sym, the king of skinkers;" - -the hop or ale-drinkers being contrasted with the votaries of wine, "the -milk of Venus," and "the true Phœbeian liquor." Is it not possible, after -all, that the repetition of, "Hip, hip, hip," is merely intended to mark -the time for the grand exertion of the lungs to be made in enunciating -the final "Hurrah!"? - -CHEVERELLS. - -_Detached Belfry Towers_ (Vol. vii., p. 333.; Vol. viii., p. 63.).--The -bell-tower at Hackney, mentioned by B. H. C., is that of the old parish -church of St. Augustine. This church was rebuilt in the early part of the -sixteenth century, which is about the time of the present tower; and when -the church was finally taken down in 1798, the tower was forced to be -left standing, because the new parish church of St. John-at-Hackney was -not strong enough to support the peal of eight bells. - -H. T. GRIFFITH. - -Hull. - -_Blotting-paper_ (Vol. viii., p. 104.).--I am disposed to agree with -SPERIEND in thinking Carlyle must be mistaken in saying this substance -was not used in Cromwell's time. The ordinary means for drying writing -was by means of the fine silver sand, now but rarely used for that -purpose; but I have seen pieces of blotting-paper among MSS. of the -time of Charles I., so as to lead me to think it was even then used, -though sparingly. This is only conjecture; but I can, however, establish -its existence at a rather earlier date than 1670. In an "Account of -Stationery supplied to the Receipt of the Exchequer and the Treasury, -1666-1668," occur several entries of "one quire of blotting-paper," "two -quires of blotting," &c. Earlier accounts of the same kind (which may be -at the Rolls House, Chancery Lane) might enable one to fix the date of -its introduction. - -J. B-T. - -The following occurs in Townesend's _Preparative to Pleading_ (Lond. -12mo. 1675), p. 8.: - - "Let the dusting or sanding of presidents in books be avoided, - rather using _fine brown paper to prevent blotting_, if time - of the ink's drying cannot be allowed; for sand takes away the - good colour of the ink, and getting into the backs of books - makes them break their binding." - -From this passage it may be inferred, that fine brown paper, to prevent -blotting, was then rather a novelty. - -C.

It -is of course a knowledge of the great interest everywhere felt in the -Russian-Turkish question, which has induced Messrs.

Wharton, and that after -his decease also. The matter of fact lies in this order. -After Ant. Harmer had published his <i>Specimen of -Errors</i> to be found in the Bishop's <i>History of the Reformation</i>, -there was a person that frequented the -coffee-house where we met daily at Oxon, and who<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_168"></a>{168}</span> -afterwards became a prelate in Scotland, that was continually -running down that History for the errors discovered -in it, many of which are not very material, and -might in so large a work have been easily pardoned; -and in order to obtain such a pardon, I acquainted his -Lordship with some more considerable errata to be -found in the first volume of <i>Anglia Sacra</i>, out of which -I had drawn up as many mistakes as I could possibly -meet with, and had descanted upon them, as far as I -was able, in the same method Ant. Harmer had drawn -up his, and without acquainting the Bishop who was -the author, sent them up to his Lordship with license, -if he thought fitting, to print them. But when the -collection was made, I had prefixed a letter to his -Lordship, and next an epistle to the reader. In the -former it was but fitting to compliment his Lordship, -but the latter was altogether as large a commendation -of Dr. Wharton's skill, diligence, and faithfulness in -viewing and examining the records of our English -church history. The disgust that this last gave his -Lordship obliged him to stifle the whole tract; but yet -he was pleased to show part of it to many by way, as -I suppose, of excuse or answer for his own mistakes; -but as I take it, after the Doctor's decease, he made it -an occasion of foully bespattering him as a man of no -credit, and all he had writ in that <i>Specimen</i> was fit to -go for nothing; which practice of his lordship, after I -came to read both in the preface and introduction to -his third volume, I was amazed at his injustice both to -the living and the dead. For I had acquainted his -Lordship that the faults were none of Dr. Wharton's -own making, who had never seen the MS. itself, but -only some exscript of it, writ by some raw and illiterate -person employed by some of his Oxford friends to send -him a copy of it. I once threatened my Lord Bishop's -son that I had thoughts of publishing this and some -other facts the Bishop had used to avoid the discovery -of some other errata communicated to him by other -hands; but I forbore doing so, lest I should seem ungrateful -for kindnesses done and offered to me."</p> - -</blockquote> - -<p class="author">E.

What does -it mean? It is spelt <i>sheere</i> in the old copies; and that -word begins one line, <i>Warwick</i> having undoubtedly -dropped out at the end of the preceding line.... -It was formerly not at all unusual to spell 'shire' -<i>sheere</i>; and Sly's 'sheer ale' <i>thus turns out</i> to have -been Warwickshire ale, which Shakspeare celebrated, -and of which he had doubtless often partaken at Mrs. -Hacket's. We almost wonder that, in his local particularity, -he did not mention the sign of her house," &c.</p> - -</blockquote> - -<p>The meaning of <i>sheer</i> ale was <i>strong</i> ale—that -which we now call "entire"—ale unmixed, unreduced, -unmitigated—the antithesis of that -"<i>small</i> ale," for a pot of which poor Sly begged -so hard, sinking his demand at last to "a pot o' the -<i>smallest</i> ale." If Christopher lived in our own -times, he might, on common occasions, indulge in -<i>small</i>; but for great treats he would have Barclay's -entire: and, instead of bullying Dame Hacket -about "sealed quarts," he would perhaps, in these -educated days, be writing to <i>The Times</i> under the -signature of "A Thirsty Soul." Sly evidently was -rather proud of underlying a score of fourteenpence -for <i>sheer</i> ale.</p> - -<p>Let us hear in what sense old Phil. Holland, in -<i>Precepts of Health</i>, uses the word:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"And verily water (not that onely wherewith <i>wine -is mingled</i>, but also which is drunke betweene whiles,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_169"></a>{169}</span> -apart by itselfe) causeth the wine tempered therewith -to doe the lesse harme: in regard whereof, a student -ought to use himselfe to drinke twice or thrice every -day a draught of sheere water," &c.</p> - -</blockquote> - -<p>Here "sheere water" is put in apposition to -that with which "<i>wine is mingled</i>;" the meaning -of <i>sheer</i>, therefore, is <i>integer</i>: and sheer milk -would be milk before it goes to the pump.</p> - -<p>But perhaps it will be objected that sheer, applied -to water, as in this place, may mean clear, -bright, free from foulness. Well, then, here is -another example from Fletcher's <i>Double Marriage</i>, -where Castruccio is being <i>tantalised</i> after the -fashion of the Governor of Barataria:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"<i>Cast.</i> (<i>tastes.</i>) Why, what is this? Why, Doctor!</p> - -<p><i>Doctor.</i> Wine and water, sir. 'Tis sovereign for your -heat: you must endure it.</p> - -<p><i>Villio.</i> Most excellent to cool your night-piece, sir!</p> - -<p><i>Doctor.</i> You're of a high and choleric complexion, -and must have allays.</p> - -<p><i>Cast.</i> Shall I have no <span class="allsmcap">SHEER WINE</span> then?"</p> - -</blockquote> - -<p>The step from this to sheer ale is not very -difficult.</p> - -<p>It may be remarked that, at present, we apply -several arbitrary adjectives, in this sense of sheer, -to different liquors. Thus, to spirits we apply -"raw," to wines and brandy "neat," to malt drink -"stout" or "strong;" and then we reduce to -"half and half," until at length we come to the -very "small," a term which, like other lowly -things, seems to have been permitted to endure -from its very weakness.</p> - -<p class="author">A.

From these words, -then, we have <i>clommian</i>, <i>clæmian</i>, &c., to bind or -restrain.

Now it seems to me that -"N. & Q." is not intended for going over old -ground, and thus becoming a literary treadmill; -but its mission lies in supplying information <i>not -easily found</i>, and in perfecting, as far as possible, -our standard works and books of reference. <span class="sc">Mr. -Taylor's</span> Query affords an opportunity for this, -as the ordinary sources of information are very -deficient as regards the Rosicrucians.</p> - -<p>According to some, the name is derived from -their supposed founder, <i>Christian Rosencreutz</i>, who -died in 1484. And they account for the fact of -the Rosicrucians not being heard of till 1604, by -saying that Rosencreutz bound his disciples by an -oath not to promulgate his doctrines for 120 years -after his death. The mystical derivation of the -name is thus given in the <i>Encyc. Brit.</i>:—</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The denomination evidently appears to be derived -from the science of chemistry. It is not compounded, -as many imagine, of the two words <i>rosa</i> and <i>crux</i>, -which signify <i>rose</i> and <i>cross</i>, but of the latter of these -two words and the Latin <i>ros</i>, which signifies <i>dew</i>. Of -all natural bodies <i>dew</i> was deemed the most powerful -dissolvent of gold; and the <i>cross</i> in the chemical language -is equivalent to <i>light</i>, because the figure of the -<i>cross</i> exhibits at the same time the three letters of -which the word <i>lux</i>, light, is compounded. Now <i>lux</i> -is called by this sect the seed or menstruum of the red -dragon, or, in other words, gross and corporeal <i>light</i>, -which, when properly digested and modified, produces -<i>gold</i>. Hence it follows, if this etymology be admitted, -that a Rosicrucian philosopher is one who, by the intervention -and assistance of the <i>dew</i>, seeks for light; -or, in other words, the philosopher's stone.</p> - -<p>"The true meaning and energy of this denomination -did not escape the penetration and sagacity of Gassendi, -as appears by his <i>Examen Philos. Fludd</i>, tom. iii. s. 15. -p. 261.; and it was more fully explained by Renaudot -in his <i>Conférences Publiques</i>, tom. iv. p. 87."</p> - -</blockquote> - -<p>The encyclopædist remarks that at first the title -commanded some respect, as it seemed to be borrowed -from <i>the arms of Luther, which were a cross -placed upon a rose</i>.</p> - -<p>The leading doctrines of the Rosicrucians were -borrowed from the Eastern philosophers<a name="footnotetag4" href="#footnote4"><sup>[4]</sup></a>; the -Christian Platonists, schoolmen, and mystics: -mixed up with others derived from writers on -natural history, magic, astrology, and especially -alchemy. All these blended together, and served -up in a professional jargon of studied obscurity, -formed the doctrinal system of these strange philosophers. -In this system <i>the doctrine of elemental -spirits</i>, and the means of communion and alliance -with them, and <i>the doctrine of signatures</i>, are the -most prominent points.</p> - -<p>Let me refer <span class="sc">Mr. Taylor</span> to Michael Meyer's -<i>Themis Aurea, hoc est de legibus Fraternitatis Roseæ -Crucis</i>, Col. 1615; the works of Jacob Behmen, -Robt.

It is never mentioned in any -of the lives of the apostle, nor heard of till the -eleventh century, the period at which the canons -regular of St. Augustine first appeared, for it was -to persons of that order, as the story goes, that -St. Patrick confided the care of that cavern of -wonders. Now there were no such persons in the -island in which it is situated, nor in that of St. -Davoc [Dabeoc?] in the same lake, until about the -beginning of the twelfth century. This purgatory, -or purging place, of Lough Derg, was set up against -another Patrick's purgatory, viz. that of <span class="correction" title="Original reads 'Crough'.">Croagh</span> -Patrick, mentioned by Jocelyn, which, however -ill-founded the vulgar opinion concerning it, was -less objectionable. Some writers have said that -it got the name of Patrick's Purgatory from an -Abbot Patrick, that lived in the ninth century; -but neither were there canons regular of St. Augustine -at that time, nor were such abridged -modes of atoning to the Almighty for the sins of a -whole life then thought of. It was demolished in -the year 1497, by order of the Pope, although it -has since been in some manner restored.</p> - -<p>The original Patrick's Purgatory then, it would -appear, was at Croagh Patrick, in Mayo, near -Westport; speaking of the pilgrimages made to -which, the monk Jocelyn (in his <i>Life of St. Patrick</i>, -written <span class="allsmcap">A.D.</span> 1180, cap. 172.) says that—</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Some of those who spent a night there stated that -they had been subjected to most fearful torments, which -had the effect, as they supposed, of purging them from -their sins, for which reason also certain of them gave -to that place the name of St. Patrick's Purgatory."</p> - -</blockquote> - -<p>By the authority of the Lords Justices who -governed Ireland in 1633, previously to the appointment -of Wentworth, Lough Derg Purgatory -was once more suppressed; but the sort of piety -then fostered among the members of the Roman -communion in Ireland could ill afford to resign -without a struggle what was to them a source of -so much consolation. High influence was, therefore, -called into action to procure the reversal of -the sentence; and the Roman Catholic Queen of -Charles I. was induced to address to the Lord -Deputy of Ireland a letter in which she requested -that he would be pleased "to allow, that the -devotions which the people of that country have -ever been wont to pay to a St. Patrick's place -there, may not be abolished." The Lord Deputy -declined acceding to this request, and said in his -reply, "I fear, at this time, when some men's zeal -hath run them already, not only beyond their -wits, <i>but almost forth of their allegiance too</i>, it -might furnish them with something to say in prejudice -and scandal to his majesty's government, -which, for the present indeed, is by all means to -be avoided." And adds, "your Majesty might do -passing well to let this devotion rest awhile." -After this second suppression, the devotion has a -second time been "in some manner restored;" and<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_179"></a>{179}</span> -multitudes throng to the place on the faith of a -false tradition, so long since exposed and exploded -by their own authorities.

This infelicitous statement may -have been corrected in the second edition of the -<i>Lives</i>, for in "N. & Q.," Vol. vii., p. 42., there is -a detailed pedigree tracing the descent of Jane -Seymour through Margaret Wentworth, her mother, -by an intermarriage with a Wentworth, and -a <i>granddaughter</i> of Hotspur, Lord Percy, (not -<i>daughter</i>, as Miss Strickland writes) from the -blood-royal of England. My object, however, in -writing this is not farther to point attention to -Miss Strickland's mistake, but to invite discussion -to the point where this pedigree may be possibly -faulty. I will not say "all ancient heralds," but -some heralds, at least, of acknowledged reputation, -viz. Nicolas, Collins, and Dugdale<a name="footnotetag6" href="#footnote6"><sup>[6]</sup></a>, have stated -that the wife of Sir Philip Wentworth was a -daughter of Roger fifth Lord Clifford.

It having -been questioned whether he ever uttered the -words, I asked the artist whether, when he was -taking the Duke's portrait, the Duke himself -acknowledged using them?

Previously to its being -incorporated as a town by Charles II., it was called -<i>Smithick</i>, from a smith's shop, near a <i>creek</i>, which -extended up the valley. The old Cornish word -<i>ick</i> signifies a "creek;" and as it became a village it -was called "Pennycomequick," which your correspondent -H. C. K. clearly explains. The Welsh -and Cornish languages are in close affinity. The -name "Pennycomequick" is evidently a corrupted -old Cornish name: see Pryce's <i>Archæologia Cornu-Britannica</i>, -v. "Pen," "Coomb," and "Ick," the -head of the narrow valley, defile or creek. It has -been thought by some to mean "the head of the -cuckoo's valley;" and your correspondent's Welsh -derivation seems to countenance such a translation. -The cuckoo is known in Scotland, Wales, and -Cornwall as "the <i>Gawk</i> Gwich." <span class="sc">Mr. Hele</span>, -perhaps, will be amused at the traditional story -of the Falmouthians respecting the origin of -Pennycomequick. Before the year 1600, there -were few houses on the site of the present town: -a woman, who had been a servant with an ancestor -of the late honourable member for West Cornwall, -Mr. Pindarves, came to reside there, and that -gentleman directed her to brew some good ale, as -he should occasionally visit the place with his -friends. On one of his visits he was disappointed, -and expressed himself angry at not finding any ale. -It appeared on explanation that a Dutch vessel -came into the harbour the preceding day, and the -Dutchmen drained her supply; she said the <i>Penny -come so quick</i>, she could not refuse to sell it.</p> - -<p class="author"><span class="sc">James Cornish.</span></p> - -<p>Falmouth.</p> - -<p><i>Captain Booth of Stockport</i> (Vol. viii., p. 102.).—In -answer to <span class="sc">Mr. Hughes's</span> inquiry about this -antiquary, I beg to state that he will find an -<i>Ordinary of Arms</i>, drawn up by Captain Booth -of Stockport, in the Shepherd Library, Preston, -Lancashire. It is one among the numerous valuable -MSS. given by the executors of the late -historian of Lancashire, Ed. Baines, Esq., M.P., -to that library. In Lysons' <i>Magna Britannia</i> -(volume Cheshire), your correspondent will also -find a mention of a John Booth, Esq., of Twemlow, -Cheshire, who was the author of various heraldic -manuscripts. It may, perhaps, be hardly necessary -to inform Cheshire antiquaries that an almost -inexhaustible fund of information, on heraldry and -genealogy, is to be found in the manuscripts of -Randle Holme, formerly of Chester, which are<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_185"></a>{185}</span> -now preserved among the Harleian MSS. in the -British Museum.</p> - -<p class="author"><span class="sc">Jaytee.</span></p> - -<p><i>"Hurrah," &c.</i> (Vol. viii., p. 20.).—The <i>clameur -de Haro</i> still exists in Jersey, and is the ancient -form there of opposing all encroachments on -landed property, and the first step to be taken by -which an ejectment can be finally obtained. It -was decided in Pinel and Le Gallais, that the -<i>clameur de Haro</i> does not apply to the opposal of -the execution of a decree of the Royal Court.</p> - -<p>It is a remarkable feature in this process, that -it is carried on by the crown; and that the losing -party, whether plaintiff or defendant, is mulcted -in a small fine to the king, because the sacred -name of <i>Haro</i> is not to be carelessly invoked with -impunity.</p> - -<p>See upon the subject of the <i>clameur</i>, <i>Le Geyt -sur les Constitutions, etc. de Jersey</i>, par Marett, -vol. i. p. 294.</p> - -<p class="author">M.

In -an "Account of Stationery supplied to the Receipt -of the Exchequer and the Treasury, 1666-1668," -occur several entries of "one quire of blotting-paper," -"two quires of blotting," &c.
