+NOTES AND QUERIES.
+
+The nature and design of the present work have been so fully stated in
+the Prospectus, and are indeed so far explained by its very Title, that
+it is unnecessary to occupy any great portion of its first number with
+details on the subject. We are under no temptation to fill its columns
+with an account of what we hope future numbers will be. Indeed, we would
+rather give a specimen than a description; and only regret that, from
+the wide range of subjects which it is intended to embrace, and the
+correspondence and contributions of various kinds which we are led to
+expect, even this can only be done gradually. A few words of
+introduction and explanation may, however, be allowed; and indeed, ought
+to be prefixed, that we may be understood by those readers who have not
+seen our Prospectus.
+
+"WHEN FOUND, MAKE A NOTE OF," is a most admirable rule; and if the
+excellent Captain had never uttered another word, he might have passed
+for a profound philosopher. It is a rule which should shine in gilt
+letters on the gingerbread of youth, and the spectacle-case of age.
+Every man who reads with any view beyond mere pastime, knows the value
+of it. Every one, more or less, acts upon it. Every one regrets and
+suffers who neglects it. There is some trouble in it, to be sure; but in
+what good thing is there not? and what trouble does it save! Nay, what
+mischief! Half the lies that are current in the world owe their origin
+to a misplaced confidence in memory, rather than to intentional
+falsehood. We have never known more than one man who could deliberately
+and conscientiously say that his memory had _never_ deceived him; and he
+(when he saw that he had excited the surprise of his hearers, especially
+those who knew how many years he had spent in the management of
+important commercial affairs) used to add,--because he had never trusted
+it; but had uniformly written down what he was anxious to remember.
+
+But, on the other hand, it cannot be denied that reading and writing
+men, of moderate industry, who act on this rule for any considerable
+length of time, will accumulate a good deal of matter in various forms,
+shapes, and sizes--some more, some less legible and intelligible--some
+unposted in old pocket books--some on whole or half sheets, or mere
+scraps of paper, and backs of letters--some lost sight of and forgotten,
+stuffing out old portfolios, or getting smoky edges in bundles tied up
+with faded tape. There are, we are quite sure, countless boxes and
+drawers, and pigeon-holes of such things, which want looking over, and
+would well repay the trouble.
+
+Nay, we are sure that the proprietors would find themselves much
+benefited even if we were to do nothing more than to induce them to look
+over their own collections. How much good might we have done (as well as
+got, for we do not pretend to speak quite disinterestedly), if we had
+had the looking over and methodizing of the chaos in which Mr. Oldbuck
+found himself just at the moment, so agonizing to an author, when he
+knows that the patience of his victim is oozing away, and fears it will
+be quite gone before he can lay his hand on the charm which is to fix
+him a hopeless listener:--"So saying, the Antiquary opened a drawer, and
+began rummaging among a quantity of miscellaneous papers ancient and
+modern. But it was the misfortune of this learned gentleman, as it may
+be that of many learned and unlearned, that he frequently experienced on
+such occasions, what Harlequin calls "_l'embarras des richesses_"--in
+other words, the abundance of his collection often prevented him from
+finding the article he sought for." We need not add that this
+unsuccessful search for Professor Mac Cribb's epistle, and the scroll of
+the Antiquary's answer, was the unfortunate turning-point on which the
+very existence of the documents depended, and that from that day to this
+nobody has seen them, or known where to look for them.
+
+But we hope for more extensive and important benefits than these, from
+furnishing a medium by which much valuable information may become a sort
+of common property among those who can appreciate and use it. We do not
+anticipate any holding back by those whose "NOTES" are most worth
+having, or any want of "QUERIES" from those best able to answer them.
+Whatever may be the case in other things, it is certain that those who
+are best informed are generally the most ready to communicate knowledge
+and to confess ignorance, to feel the value of such a work as we are
+attempting, and to understand that if it is to be well done they must
+help to do it. Some cheap and frequent means for the interchange of
+thought is certainly wanted by those who are engaged in literature, art,
+and science, and we only hope to persuade the best men in all, that we
+offer them the best medium of communication with each other.
+
+By this time, we hope, our readers are prepared to admit that our title
+(always one of the most difficult points of a book to settle), has not
+been imprudently or unwisely adopted. We wish to bring together the
+ideas and the wants, not merely of men engaged in the same lines of
+action or inquiry, but also (and very particularly) of those who are
+going different ways, and only meet at the crossings, where a helping
+hand is oftenest needed, and they would be happy to give one if they
+knew it was wanted. In this way we desire that our little book should
+take "NOTES," and be a medley of all that men are doing--that the Notes
+of the writer and the reader, whatever be the subject-matter of his
+studies, of the antiquary, and the artist, the man of science, the
+historian, the herald, and the genealogist, in short, Notes relating to
+all subjects but such as are, in popular discourse, termed either
+political or polemical, should meet in our columns in such
+juxta-position, as to give fair play to any natural attraction or
+repulsion between them, and so that if there are any hooks and eyes
+among them, they may catch each other.
+
+Now, with all modesty, we submit, that for the title of such a work as
+we have in view, and have endeavoured to describe, no word could be so
+proper as "NOTES." Can any man, in his wildest dream of imagination,
+conceive of any thing that may not be--nay, that has not been--treated
+of in a _note?_ Thousands of things there are, no doubt, which cannot be
+sublimed into poetry, or elevated into history, or treated of with
+dignity, in a stilted text of any kind, and which are, as it is called,
+"thrown" into notes; but, after all, they are much like children sent
+out of the stiff drawing-room into the nursery, snubbed to be sure by
+the act, but joyful in the freedom of banishment. We were going to say
+(but it might sound vainglorious), where do things read so well as in
+notes? but we will put the question in another form:--Where do you so
+well test an author's learning and knowledge of his subject?--where do
+you find the pith of his most elaborate researches?--where do his most
+original suggestions escape?--where do you meet with the details that
+fix your attention at the time and cling to your memory for ever?--where
+do both writer and reader luxuriate so much at their case, and feel that
+they are wisely discursive?--But if we pursue this idea, it will be
+scarcely possible to avoid something which might look like self-praise;
+and we content ourselves for the present with expressing our humble
+conviction that we are doing a service to writers and readers, by
+calling forth materials which they have themselves thought worth notice,
+but which, for want of elaboration, and the "little leisure" that has
+not yet come, are lying, and may lie for ever, unnoticed by others, and
+presenting them in an unadorned _multum-in-parvo_ form. To our readers
+therefore who are seeking for Truth, we repeat "When found make a NOTE
+of!" and we must add, "till then make a QUERY."

+
+PLACE OF CAPTURE OF THE DUKE OF MONMOUTH.
+
+20th October, 1849.
+
+Mr. Editor,--Mr. Macaulay's account of the Battle of Sedgemoor is
+rendered singularly picturesque and understandable by the personal
+observation and local tradition which he has brought to bear upon it.
+Might not his account of the capture of Monmouth derive some few
+additional life-giving touches, from the same invaluable sources of
+information. It is extremely interesting, as every thing adorned by Mr.
+Macaulay's luminous style must necessarily be, but it lacks a little of
+that bright and living reality, which, in the account of Sedgemoor, and
+in many other parts of the book, are imparted by minute particularity
+and precise local knowledge. It runs as follows:--
+
+    "On Cranbourne Chase the strength of the horses failed. They were
+    therefore turned loose. The bridles and saddles were concealed.
+    Monmouth and his friends disguised themselves as country-men, and
+    proceeded on foot towards the New Forest. They passed the night in
+    the open air: but before morning they were surrounded on every
+    side.... At five in the morning of the seventh, Grey was seized by
+    two of Lumley's scouts.... It could hardly be doubted that the chief
+    rebel was not far off. The pursuers redoubled their vigilance and
+    activity. The cottages scattered over the healthy country on the
+    boundaries of Dorsetshire and Hampshire were strictly examined by
+    Lumley; and the clown with whom Monmouth had changed clothes was
+    discovered. Portman came with a strong body of horse and foot to
+    assist in the search. Attention was soon drawn to a place well
+    suited to shelter fugitives. It was an extensive tract of land
+    separated by an inclosure from the open country, and divided by
+    numerous hedges into small fields. In some of these fields the rye,
+    the pease, and the oats were high enough to conceal a man. Others
+    were overgrown by fern and brambles. A poor woman reported that she
+    had seen two strangers lurking in this covert. The near prospect of
+    reward animated the zeal of the troops.... The outer fence was
+    strictly guarded: the space within was examined with indefatigable
+    diligence; and several dogs of quick scent were turned out among the
+    bushes. The day closed before the search could be completed: but
+    careful watch was kept all night. Thirty times the fugitives
+    ventured to look through the outer hedge: but everywhere they found
+    a sentinel on the alert: once they were seen and fired at: they then
+    separated and concealed themselves in different hiding places.
+
+    "At sunrise the next morning the search recommenced, and Buyse was
+    found. He owned that he had parted from the Duke only a few hours
+    before. The corn and copsewood were now beaten with more care than
+    ever. At length a gaunt figure was discovered hidden in a ditch. The
+    pursuers sprang on their prey. Some of them were about to fire; but
+    Portman forbade all violence. The prisoner's dress was that of a
+    shepherd; his beard, prematurely grey, was of several days' growth.
+    He trembled greatly, and was unable to speak. Even those who had
+    often seen him were at first in doubt whether this were the
+    brilliant and graceful Monmouth. His pockets were searched by
+    Portman, and in them were found, among some raw pease gathered in
+    the rage of hunger, a watch, a purse of gold, a small treatise on
+    fortification, an album filled with songs, receipts, prayers, and
+    charms, and the George with which, many years before, King Charles
+    the Second had decorated his favourite son."--_Hist. Eng._, i. pp.
+    616-618. 2nd edition.
+
+Now, this is all extremely admirable. It is a brilliant description of
+an important historical incident. But on what precise spot did it take
+place? One would like to endeavour to realise such an event at the very
+place where it occurred, and the historian should enable us to do so. I
+believe the spot is very well known, and that the traditions of the
+neighbourhood upon the subject are still vivid. It was near Woodyate's
+Inn, a well-known roadside inn, a few miles from Salisbury, on the road
+to Blandford, that the Duke and his companions turned adrift their
+horses. From thence they crossed the country in almost a due southerly
+direction. The tract of land in which the Duke took refuge is rightly
+described by Mr. Macaulay, as "separated by an inclosure from the open
+country." Its nature is no less clearly indicated by its local name of
+"The Island." The open down which surrounds it is called Shag's Heath.
+The Island is described as being about a mile and a half from Woodlands,
+and in the parish of Horton, in Dorsetshire. The field in which the Duke
+concealed himself is still called "Monmouth Close." It is at the
+north-eastern extremity of the Island. An ash-tree at the foot of which
+the would-be-king was found crouching in a ditch and half hid under the
+fern, was standing a few years ago, and was deeply indented with the
+carved initials of crowds of persons who has been to visit it. Mr.
+Macaulay has mentioned that the fields were covered--it was the eighth
+of July--with standing crops of rye, pease, and oats. In one of them, a
+field of pease, tradition tells us that the Duke dropped a gold
+snuff-box. It was picked up some time afterwards by a labourer, who
+carried it to Mrs. Uvedale of Horton, probably the proprietress of the
+field, and received in reward fifteen pounds, which was said to be half
+its value. On his capture, the Duke was first taken to the house of
+Anthony Etterick, Esq., a magistrate who resided at Holt, which adjoins
+Horton. Tradition, which records the popular feeling rather than the
+fact, reports, that the poor woman who informed the pursuers that she
+had seen two strangers lurking in the Island--her name was Amy
+Farrant--never prospered afterwards; and that Henry Parkin, the soldier,
+who, spying the skirt of the smock-frock which the Duke had assumed as a
+disguise, recalled the searching party just as they were leaving the
+Island, burst into tears and reproached himself bitterly for his fatal
+discovery.
+
+It is a defect in the Ordnance Survey, that neither the Island nor
+Monmouth Close is indicated upon it by name.
+
+I know not, Mr. Editor, whether these particulars are of the kind which
+you design to print as "NOTES." If they are so, and you give them place
+in your miscellany, be good enough to add a "QUERY" addressed to your
+Dorsetshire correspondents, as to whether the ash-tree is now standing,
+and what is the actual condition of the spot at the present time. The
+facts I have stated are partly derived from the book known as _Addison's
+Anecdotes_, vol. iv., p. 12. 1794, 8vo. They have been used, more or
+less, by the late Rev. P. Hall, in his _Account of Ringwood_, and by Mr.
+Roberts, in his _Life of Monmouth_.
+
+With the best of good wishes for the success of your most useful
+periodical,
+
+Believe me, Mr. Editor,
+
+Yours very truly,
+
+JOHN BRUCE.

+
+SHAKESPEARE AND DEER-STEALING.
+
+In "The Life of Shakespeare," prefixed to the edition of his Works I saw
+through the press three of four years ago, I necessarily entered into
+the deer-stealing question, admitting that I could not, as some had
+done, "entirely discredit the story," and following it up by proof (in
+opposition to the assertion of Malone), that Sir Thomas Lucy had deer,
+which Shakespeare might have been concerned in stealing. I also, in the
+same place (vol. i. p. xcv.), showed, from several authorities, how
+common and how venial offence it was considered in the middle of the
+reign of Elizabeth. Looking over some MSS. of that time, a few weeks
+since, I met with a very singular and confirmatory piece of evidence,
+establishing that in the year 1585, the precise period when our great
+dramatist is supposed to have made free with the deer of the knight of
+Charlcote, nearly all the cooks'-shops and ordinaries of London were
+supplied with stolen venison. The following letter from the lord mayor
+(which I copy from the original) of that day, Thomas Pullyson, to
+secretary Walsingham, speaks for itself, and shows that the matter has
+been deemed of so much important as to call for the interposition of the
+Privy Council: the city authorities were required to take instant and
+arbitrary measures for putting an end to the consumption of venison and
+to the practice of deer-stealing, by means of which houses &c. of public
+resort in London were furnished with that favourite viand. The letter of
+the lord mayor was a speedy reply to a communication from the queen's
+ministers on the subject:--
+
+    "Right honorable, where yesterday I receaved letters from her Ma'tes
+    most honorable privie councill, advertisinge me that her highnes was
+    enformed that Venison ys as ordinarilie sould by the Cookes of
+    London as other flesh, to the greate distruction of the game.
+    Commaundinge me thereby to take severall bondes of xl'li the peece
+    of all the Cookes in London not to buye or sell any venison
+    hereafter, uppon payne of forfayture of the same bondes; neyther to
+    receave any venison to bake without keepinge a note of theire names
+    that shall deliver the same unto them. Whereupon presentlie I called
+    the Wardens of the Cookes before me, advertisinge them hereof,
+    requiringe them to cause their whole company to appeare before me,
+    to thende I might take bondes accordinge to a condition hereinclosed
+    sent to your Ho.; whoe answered that touchinge the first clause
+    thereof they were well pleased therewith, but for the latter clause
+    they thought yt a greate inconvenience to their companie, and
+    therefore required they might be permitted to make theire answeres,
+    and alledge theire reasons therof before theire honors. Affirmed
+    alsoe, that the Tablinge howses and Tavernes are greater receyvors
+    and destroyers of stollen venison than all the rest of the Cittie:
+    whereupon they craved that eyther they maye be likewise bounden, or
+    else authoritie may be geven to the Cookes to searche for the same
+    hereafter. I have therefore taken bondes of the wardens for their
+    speedy appearance before theire honors to answere the same; and I am
+    bolde to pray your Ho. to impart the same unto their Ho., and that I
+    maye with speede receyve theire future direction herein. And soe I
+    humbly take my leave. London, the xj'th of June, 1585.
+
+    "Your honors to commaunde,
+
+    "THOMAS PULLYSON, maior."
+
+I dare say that the registers of the Privy Council contain some record
+of what was done on the occasion, and would enable us to decide whether
+the very reasonable request of the Cooks of London had been complied
+with. Whether this be or be not so, the above document establishes
+beyond question that in the summer of 1585 cooks'-shops, tabling-houses
+(i.e. ordinaries), and taverns, were abundantly supplied with stolen
+venison, and that the offence of stealing must have been very common.

+"PRAY REMEMBER THE GROTTO!" ON ST. JAMES' DAY.
+
+When the great popularity which the legends of the Saints formerly
+enjoyed is considered it becomes matter of surprise that they should not
+have been more frequently consulted for illustrations of our folk-lore
+and popular observances. The Edinburgh Reviewer of Mrs. Jameson's
+_Sacred and Legendary Art_ has, with great judgement, extracted from
+that work a legend, in which, as he shows very clearly[A], we have the
+real, although hitherto unnoticed, origin of the Three Balls which still
+form the recognised sign of a Pawnbroker. The passage is so curious,
+that it should be transferred entire to the "NOTES AND QUERIES."
+
+  [A] Edinburgh Review, vol. lxxxix. p.400.
+
+    "None of the many diligent investigators of our popular antiquities
+    have yet traced home the three golden balls of our pawnbrokers to
+    the emblem of St. Nicholas. They have been properly enough referred
+    to the Lombard merchants, who were the first to open loan-shops in
+    England for the relief of temporary distress. But the Lombards had
+    merely assumed an emblem which had been appropriated to St.
+    Nicholas, as their charitable predecessor in that very line of
+    business. The following is the legend: and it is too prettily told
+    to be omitted:--
+
+    "'Now in that city (Panthera) there dwelt a certain nobleman, who
+    had three daughters, and, from being rich, he became poor; so poor
+    that there remained no means of obtaining food for his daughters but
+    by sacrificing them to an infamous life; and oftentimes it came into
+    his mind to tell them so, but shame and sorrow held him dumb.
+    Meanwhile the maidens wept continually, not knowing what to do, and
+    not having bread to eat; and their father became more and more
+    desperate. When Nicholas heard of this, he thought it shame that
+    such a thing should happen in a Christian land; therefore one night,
+    when the maidens were asleep, and their father alone sat watching
+    and weeping, he took a handful of gold, and, tying it up in a
+    handkerchief, he repaired to the dwelling of the poor man. He
+    considered how he might bestow it without making himself known; and,
+    while he stood irresolute, the moon coming from behind a cloud
+    showed him a window open; so he threw it in, and it fell at the feet
+    of the father, who, when he found it, returned thanks, and with it
+    he portioned his eldest daughter. A second time Nicholas provided a
+    similar sum, and again he threw it in by night; and with it the
+    nobleman married his second daughter. But he greatly desired to know
+    who it was that came to his aid; therefore he determined to watch:
+    and when the good Saint came for the third time, and prepared to
+    throw in the third portion, he was discovered, for the nobleman
+    seized him by the skirt of his robe, and flung himself at his feet,
+    saying, "O Nicholas! servant of God! why seek to hid thyself?" and
+    he kissed his feet and his hands. But Nicholas made him promise that
+    he would tell no man. And many other charitable works did Nicholas
+    perform in his native city.'
+
+    "These three purses of gold, or, as they are more customarily
+    figured, these three golden balls, disposed in exact pawnbroker
+    fashion, are to this day the recognised special emblem of the
+    charitable St. Nicholas."
+
+And now for the more immediate object of the present Note, which is to
+show--what, when once pointed out, will, I think, readily be admitted,
+namely, that in the grotto formed of oyster shells, and lighted with a
+votive candle, to which on old St. James's day (5th August) the passer
+by is earnestly entreated to contribute by cries of, "Pray remember the
+Grotto!" we have a memorial of the world-renowned shrine of St. James at
+Compostella.
+
+The popularity which St. James formerly enjoyed in England, and the zeal
+with which his shrine was visited by natives of this country, have
+recently been so clearly shown by Mr. J.G. Nichols, in his interesting
+little volume, _Pilgrimages to St. Mary of Walsingham and St. Thomas of
+Canterbury_, that I need not here insist upon these points.
+
+What the original object of making these grottoes may have been I can
+only suggest: but I shall not be surprised if it should turn out that
+they were formerly erected on the anniversary of St. James by poor
+persons, as an invitation to the pious who could not visit
+Compostella, to show their reverence for the Saint by almsgiving to
+their needy brethren.
+
+Oysters are only allowed to be sold in London (which city, by the by,
+levied a tax of two pence on every person going and returning by the
+river Thames on pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James), after St.
+James's day. Why is this? I wish Mr. Wansey, who is an able antiquary,
+and one authorised to look into the records of Fishmongers' Company,
+would give us the information upon this point which these documents may
+be expected to furnish.
+
+WILLIAM J. THOMS.
+
+P.S.--I should be glad if any of the readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES"
+could explain to that Erasmus alludes, when he says, "Culmeis ornatus
+torquibus, brachium habet ova serpentum," which L'Estrange translated,
+"Straw-works,--snakes, eggs for bracelets;" and Mr. Nichols, who
+honestly states that he is unable to explain the allusion, as he does
+not find such emblems elsewhere mentioned,--"adorned with straw
+necklaces and bracelets of serpents' eggs."

+NOTE OF A MS. VOLUME OF CHRONICLES AT REIGATE.
+
+Amongst the objects of the useful medium of literary communication
+afforded by the publication of "NOTES AND QUERIES," one appears to be a
+record of the casual notice of "some book or some edition, hitherto
+unknown or imperfectly described." I am induced therefore to inquire,
+whether the existence of an ancient MS. volume of Chronicles, which I
+have recently noticed in the little library adjoining Reigate Church, is
+already known to those who investigate out monastic annals? This volume
+may probably not have escaped their research, especially since the
+republication and extension of Wharton's Collection, have been recently
+proposed. A chronological series of chronicles relativing to the see of
+Canterbury was announced amongst the projected publications of the
+"Anglia Christiana Society."
+
+The Reigate library, of which brief mention is made in Manning's and
+Bray's _History of Surrey_ (vol. i. p. 314.) without any notice of its
+contents, is preserved in the upper chamber of a building on the north
+side of the chancel, erected in 1513, and designated as a "vestibulum"
+in a contemporary inscription. The collection is small, and amoungst the
+most interesting volumes is a small folio, in the original oaken boards
+covered with white leather, presented to the library, 7. June, 1701, by
+William Jordan, of Gatwick, in the adjacent parish of Charlwood,
+probably the same person who was member for the borough of Reigate in
+1717. Of previous possessors of the book nothing is recorded. It
+comprises several concise chronicles, which may be thus described:--
+
+1. "Cathologus Romanorum Pontificum:"--imperfect, commencing with fol.
+11; some leaves also lost at the end. It closes with the year 1359, in
+the times of Innocent VI.
+
+2. "De Imperatoribus Romanis:"--from Julius Cæsar to the election and
+coronation of Charles IV. after the death of the emperor Lewis of
+Bavaria, and the battle of Cressy, in 1347.
+
+3. "Compilacio Cronicorum de diversis Archiepiscopis ecclesie
+Cantuariensis:"--the chronicle of Stephen Birchington, a monk of
+Canterbury, printed by Wharton, from a MS. in the Lambeth collection.
+The text varies in many particulars, which may be of minor moment, but
+deserve collation. The writing varies towards the close, as if the
+annals had been continued at intervals; and they close with the
+succession of Archibishop William de Witleseye, in 1368, as in the text
+printed by Wharton (_Anglia Sacra_, vol. i. pp. 1-48.).
+
+4. "De principio mundi, et etatibus ejusdem.--De insulis et civitatibus
+Anglie:"--forming a sort of brief preface to the following--"Hic incipit
+Bruto de gestis Anglorum." The narrative begins with a tale of a certain
+giant king of Greece, in the year 3009, who had thirty daughters: the
+eldest, Albina, gave her name to Albion. The history is continued to the
+accession of William Rufus.
+
+5. "Incipit Cronica de adquisicione Regni Anglie per Willelmum Ducem
+Normannorum," &c. closing in 1364, with the birth of Edward of
+Engolesme, eldest son of the Black Prince. Wharton speaks of "Historiæ
+de regibus Anglorum, de Pontificibus Romanis, et de Imperatoribus
+Romanis," as found together with the chronicle of the archibishops of
+Canterbury; both in the Lambeth MS. and in another formerly in the
+possession of William Reede, Bishop of Chichester: and he was inclined
+to attribute the whole to the pen of Birchington.
+
+6. "Gesta Scotorum contra Anglicos:"--commencing in 1066, with the times
+of Malcolm, king of Scotland, and ending in 1346, with the capture of
+David II., and the calamitous defeat of the Scots near Durham.
+
+At the commencement of the volume are found some miscellaneous writings
+of less interesting character. I noticed, however, an entry relating to
+the foundation of a chapel at "Ocolte," now written Knockholt, in Kent,
+by Ralph Scot, who had erected a mansion remote from the parish church,
+and obtained license for the consecration of the chapel in the year
+1281, in the time of Archbishop Kilwareby.
+
+The writing of the MS. appears to be of the latter half of the
+fourteenth century. Possibly there may be reader of these "NOTES AND
+QUERIES," more familiar with such inquiries than myself, who may have
+examined other contemporary MSS. of the compilations of Stephen
+Birchington. I shall be thankful for any information regarding them, and
+especially as regards the existence of any transcript of the Canterbury
+Annals, extended beyond the year 1368, with which this copy as well as
+that used by Wharton closes; whilst he supposes that in the chronicle as
+cited by Jocelin, chaplain to Matthew Parker, they had been carried as
+far as the year 1382.

+THE MORNING CHRONICLE, ETC.--WHEN FIRST ESTABLISHED.
+
+It is read in the _Newspaper Directory_ that _The Morning Chronicle_ was
+established in 1770, _The Morning Herald_ in 1781, _The Times_, 1st
+January, 1788. I believe that not one of these dates is correct, and
+that of _The Morning Herald_ to be wrong by fifteen years or more. Can

+dates, or tell me where I can find the earlier volumes; say, the first

+VALUE OF A REPOSITORY FOR "NOTES."--NEW EDITION OF HERBERT'S "AMES."
+
+    [The suggestions in the following Paper are so extremely valuable,
+    that we are not only pleased to give it insertion, but hope that our
+    readers will take advantage of our columns to carry out Dr.
+    Maitland's recommendations.]
+
+Sir,--My attention has been particularly engaged by one suggestion in
+your Prospectus, because it seems to hold out a hope that your intended
+work will furnish what has long been a _desideratum_ in literature. We
+really do want something that may form a "supplement to works already in
+existence--a treasury for enriching future editions of them;" while it
+may also receive (as I have no doubt you meant to include,) such
+contributions of moderate extent, as may tend to render fuller and more
+correct some works which have little or no chance of future editions. In
+this way you may be of great use in every department of literature; and
+especially in works of reference. With them, indeed, correctness is
+everything; perfect accuracy is not to be attained, and the nearest
+possible approximation to it can be made only by many little careful
+steps, backwards as well as forwards.
+
+By works of reference, however, I do not mean Dictionaries, though I
+would include them, as a class of works for which I have a singular
+respect, and to which my remark particularly applies. There are many
+other books, and some which very properly aspire to the tile of History,
+which are, in fact and practically, books of reference, and of little
+value if they have not the completeness and accuracy which should
+characterise that class of works. Now it frequently happens to people
+whose reading is at all discursive, that they incidentally fall upon
+small matters of correction or criticism, which are of little value to
+themselves, but would be very useful to those who are otherwise engaged,
+if they knew of their existence.
+
+I might perhaps illustrate this matter by referring to various works;
+but it happens to be more in my way to mention Herbert's edition of
+Ames's _Typographical Antiquities_. It may be hoped that some day or
+other, the valuable matter of which it consists will be reduced to a
+better form and method; for it seems hardly too much to say, that he
+appears to have adopted the very worst that could have been selected. I
+need not tell you that I have no idea of undertaking such a thing, and I
+really have no suspicion (I wish I had) that anybody else is thinking of
+doing it:--or, in other words, I am not attempting to make use of your
+columns by insinuating a preparatory puff for a work in progress, or
+even in contemplation. I only mention the book as one of a class which
+may be essentially benefited by your offering a receptacle for
+illustrations, additions, and corrections, such as individually, or in
+small collections, are of little or no value, and are frequently almost
+in the very opposite condition to those things which are of no value to
+any body but the owner. For instance, when I was in the habit of seeing
+many of the books noted by Herbert, and had his volumes lying beside me,
+I made hundreds, perhaps thousands, of petty corrections, and many from
+books which he had not had an opportunity of seeing, and of which he
+could only reprint incorrect descriptions. All of these, though trifling
+in themselves, are things which should be noticed in case of a reprint;
+but how much time and trouble would it cost an editor to find and
+collate the necessary books? That, to be sure, is his business; but the
+question for the public is, _Would_ it be done at all? and could it in
+such cases be done so well in any other way, as by appointing some place
+of rendezvous for the casual and incidental materials for improvement
+which may fall in the way of readers pursuing different lines of
+inquiry, and rewarded, as men in pursuit of truth always are, whatever
+may be their success as to their _immediate_ object, by finding more
+than they are looking for--things, too, which when they get into their
+right places, show that they were worth finding--and, perhaps, unknown
+to those more conversant with the subject to which they belong, just
+because they were in the out-of-the-way place where they were found by
+somebody who was looking for something else.

+BIBLIOGRAPHIC PROJECT.
+
+Of the various sections into which the history of English literature is
+divisible, there is no one in which the absence of collective materials
+is more seriously felt--no one in which we are more in need of authentic
+_notes_, or which is more apt to raise perplexing _queries_--than that
+which relates to the authorship of anonymous and pseudonymous works.
+
+The importance of the inquiry is not inferior to the ardour with which
+it has sometimes been pursued, or the curiosity which it has excited. On
+all questions of testimony, whether historical or scientific, it is a
+consideration of the position and character of the writer which chiefly
+enables us to decide on the credibility of his statements, to account
+for the bias of his opinions, and to estimate his entire evidence at its
+just value. The remark also applies, in a qualified sense, to
+productions of an imaginative nature.
+
+On the number of the works of this class, I can only hazard a
+conjecture. In French literature, it amounts to about one-third part of
+the whole mass. In English literature, it cannot be less than one-sixth
+part--perhaps more. Be it as it may, the SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT of all
+that has been revealed in that way, and of all that is dicoverable, is
+essential to the perfection of literary history, of literary biography,
+and of bibliography.
+
+At the present moment, I can only announce the project as a stimulus to
+unemployed aspirants, and as a hint to fortunate collectors, to prepare
+for an exhibition of their cryptic treasures.--On a future occasion I
+shall describe the plan of construction which seems more eligible--shall
+briefly notice the scattered materials which it may be expedient to
+consult, whether in public depositories, or in private hands--and shall
+make an appeal to those whose assistance may be required, to enable a
+competent editor to carry out the plan with credit and success.
+
+On the prevalence of anonymous writing, on its occasional convenience,
+and on its pernicious consequences, I shall make no remarks. Facts,
+rather than arguments, should be the staple commodity of an instructive
+miscellany.

+    "This extraordinary man flourished in the reign of Henry II., and
+    was, therefore, of Old Salisbury, not of New Salisbury, which was
+    not founded till the reign of Henry III. Having had the best
+    education of the time, and being not only a genius, but intimate
+    with the most eminent men, in particular with Pope Hadrian (who was
+    himself an Englishman), he became at length a bishop, and died in
+    1182. He had perused and studies most of the Latin classics, and
+    appears to have decorated every part of his work with splendid
+    fragments extracted out of them."--_Harris's Philosophical

+LIBER SENTENTIARUM.--INQUISITION OF THOULOUSE.
+
+Mr. Editor,--In or about 1756, an ancient manuscript in folio, on
+vellum, was deposited in the British Museum by Dr. Secker, then Bishop
+of Oxford, afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury, and still, I take for
+granted, remains in that institution. It was intitled upon the cover,
+_Liber Sententiarum_; but contained the Acts and Decisions of the
+Inquisition of Thoulouse, from the year 1307 to 1323. It had been
+purchased by the contributions of the Archbishops of Canterbury and
+York, of the Bishop of Oxford himself, and of various other prelates,
+the lord Chancellor, the Speaker of the House of Commons of that time,
+the Viscount Royston, &c.
+
+Can any of your readers inform me whether any or what portions of this
+manuscript have been hitherto communicated to the world, either in the
+way of publication or translation, or of abridgment, in whole or in
+part? An analysis of this manuscript would be interesting to many
+readers of ecclesiastical history.

+POEM MENTIONED IN ONE OF THE LANSDOWNE MSS.
+
+In vol. 61. of the _Lansdowne MSS._ in the British Museum occurs the
+following remarkable letter from the Bishop of London (John Aylmer) to
+Lord Burghley. I wish to be informed to what "foolish rhime," which had
+been printed in Oxford and London, it applies? It is a question of some
+literary importance to me at the present moment, and I am glad to have
+the opportunity of putting it by means of your new hebdomadal
+undertaking. I hope to meet with a reply in your "NOTES AND QUERIES" of
+next week.
+
+    "_To the Lord Treasurer_,
+
+    "Yt may please your good L. to understand, that upon inquiry made
+    for the setting forth of this foolish rime, I finde that it was
+    first printed at Oxford, by Joseph Barnes, and after here by Toby
+    Cooke, without licence, who is now out of towne, but as sone as he
+    returneth, I will talke with him about it. I marvell that they of
+    Oxford will suffer such toyes to be sett forth by their authority;
+    for in my opinion it had been better to have thanked God, than to
+    have insulted upon men, and especially upon princes. And so I take
+    my leave of your good L., praying God to send you health to his
+    honour and all our good. From my pallace at London, this xxix'th of

+If the above refer to any production in verse upon the defeat of the

+delicacy towards the King of Spain. Waiting an explanation, I am your

+of Chatham_, vol. i. p. 27.
+
+    "The Debates on the American Stamp Act in 1764 are the first that
+    can be said to have been preserved at all, through the happy
+    accident of Lord Charlemont, assisted by Sir Robert Dean, &c. &c.,
+    and accordingly _they have handed down to us some Notes of Lord
+    Chatham's celebrated Speech upon that Question_."
+
+Can any of your readers inform me where these "NOTES" of this
+"celebrated speech" are to be found?
+
+D.

+DORNE, THE BOOKSELLER.--HENNO RUSTICUS.
+
+Sir,--I gladly avail myself of the "NOTES AND QUERIES," to request
+information on the following points:--
+
+I. Is any thing known, and especially from the writings of Erasmus, of a
+bookseller and publisher of the Low Countries named Dorne, who lived at
+the beginning of the sixteenth century?
+
+II. Is any thing known of a little work of early date, called _Henno
+rusticus_?
+
+III. Or of another, called _Of the sige (signe?) of the end_?
+
+Trusting that some of your readers will be enabled to throw light upon
+one or other of these points,
+
+I remain, &c.
+
+W.

+
+NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS:
+
+The matter is so generally understood with regard to the management of
+periodical works, that it is hardly necessary for the Editor to say
+that HE CANNOT UNDERTAKE TO RETURN MANUSCRIPTS; but on one point he
+wishes to offer a few words of explanation to his correspondents in
+general, and particularly to those who do not enable him to communicate
+with them except in print. They will see, on a very little reflection,
+that it is plainly his interest to take all he can get, and make the
+most, and best, of everything; and therefore he begs them to take for
+granted that their communications are received and appreciated, even if
+the succeeding Number bears no proof of it. He is convinced that the
+want of specific acknowledgement will only be felt by those who have no
+idea of the labour and difficulty attendant on the hurried management of
+such a work, and of the impossibility of sometimes giving an
+explanation, when there really is one which would quite satisfy the
+writer, for the delay or non-insertion of his communication.
+Correspondents in such cases have no reason, and if they understood an
+editor's position they would feel that they have no right, to consider
+themselves undervalued; but nothing short of personal experience in
+editorship would explain to them the perplexities and evil consequences
+arising from an opposite course.

+
+AUBERY JUNIOR The coincidence is certainly curious. When the 3rd of
+November was fixed for the first appearance of "NOTES AND QUERIES," it
+was little thought that it was the anniversary of the birth of John
+Aubrey, the most noted Querist, if not the queerest _Noter_, of all
+English antiquaries. His "Mem. to ask Mr. ----" no doubt indirectly
+suggested our title.
+
+PHILOBIBLION is thanked for his suggestion, that we should "print lists
+of all the books printed by the Roxburgh, Abbotsford, Camden,
+Spottiswoode, and other publishing Clubs and Societies." His suggestion
+had, however, been anticipated: arrangements are making for giving not
+only the information suggested by PHILOBIBLION, but also particulars
+of the works issued by the different Continental publishing Societies,
+such as  _La Société de L'Histoire de France_, _Der Literaische Verein in
+Stuttgart_, and the _Svenska Fornskrift-Sällskap_ of Stockholm, so that
+the English reader may be put into possession of facts connected with
+these Societies not to be found elsewhere.
+
+MANCHESTER (Box 720.) is thanked for his suggestion.
+
+BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES WANTED. We believe that this will prove one of
+the most useful divisions of our weekly sheet. Gentlemen who may be
+unable to meet with any book or volume of which they are in want may,
+upon furnishing name, date, size, &c., have it inserted in this List
+_free of cost_. Persons having such volumes to dispose of are requested
+to send reports of price, &c. to Mr. Bell, our publisher.

+ANTIQUARIAN GLEANINGS IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND: being examples of antique
+furniture, plate, church decoration, objects of historical interest, &c.
+Drawn and etched by W. B. SCOTT.
+
+    "A collection of antiquarian relics, chiefly in the decorative
+    branch of art, preserved in the Northern Counties, pourtrayed by a
+    very competent hand. Many of the objects possess considerable
+    interest; such as the chair of the Venerable Bede. Cromwell's sword
+    and watch, and the grace cup of Thomas-à-Becket. All are drawn with
+    that distinctness which makes them available for the Antiquarian,
+    for the Artist who is studying costumes, and for the study of
+    Decorative Art."--_Spectator_.
+
+
+MEMOIRS OF MUSICK. By the Hon. ROGER NORTH, Attourney-General to James
+I. Now first printed from the original MS. and edited, with copious
+notes, by EDWARD F. RIMBAULT, LL.D., F.S.A., &c. &c. Quarto; with a
+portrait; handsomely printed in 4to.; half-bound in Moroco, 15s.
+
+This interesting MS., so frequently alluded to by Dr. Burney in the
+course of his "History of Music," has been kindly placed at the disposal
+of the Council of the Musical Antiquarian Society, by George Townshend
+Smith, Esq., Organist of Hereford Cathedral. But the Council, not
+feeling authorised to commence a series of literary publications, yet
+impressed with the value of the work, have suggested its independent
+publication to their Secretary, Dr. Rimbault, under whose editorial care
+it accordingly appears.
+
+It abounds with interesting Musical Anecdotes; the Greek Fables
+respecting the origin of Music; the rise and progress of Musical
+Instruments; the early Musical Drama; the origin of our present
+fashionable Concerts; the first performance of the Beggar's Opera, &c.

+from every variety of these interesting and valuable memorials,
+accompanied with brief descriptive notices.
+
+Parts I. to XI. of this work are published: Part XII. will complete
+the volume.
+
+    "In the numbers of the attractive work now before us, the perfection
+    to which engraving on wood has been carried is strikingly shown. The
+    amount of information conveyed in moderate compass, and at a most
+    trifling cost, renders this collection of examples of costume, of
+    decorative design, and of heraldry, highly acceptable. The minute
+    and faithful exactness with which the smallest details are
+    reproduced is a most valuable quality in these portraitures: their
+    variety is striking: selected, in great part, from memorials hitherto
+    unknown or imperfectly engraved, each number of M. Boutell's
+    collection might form the text of a monograph on mediaeval costume
+    in its three great divisions.--Military, Ecclesiastical, and
+    Secular."--_Archaeological Journal_, vol. vi. p. 91.

+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal

+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<h1>Notes and Queries</h1>

+
+<h3>Series 1, Vol. 1, Saturday, November 3, 1849</h3>
+</center>
+<p>
+Notes and Queries was the mid-19th century equivalent
+of an antiquarian newsgroup. It fulfilled the needs of the legions of
+amateur early Victorian enthusiasts in many fields: the etymology of
+words, the origin on local customs, the meaning of heraldic emblems; it
+was also (as the title suggests) a medium of intercommunication between
+the growing number of professional writers in these fields.</p>

+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement

+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.

+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+NOTES AND QUERIES.
+
+The nature and design of the present work have been so fully stated in
+the Prospectus, and are indeed so far explained by its very Title, that
+it is unnecessary to occupy any great portion of its first number with
+details on the subject. We are under no temptation to fill its columns
+with an account of what we hope future numbers will be. Indeed, we would
+rather give a specimen than a description; and only regret that, from
+the wide range of subjects which it is intended to embrace, and the
+correspondence and contributions of various kinds which we are led to
+expect, even this can only be done gradually. A few words of
+introduction and explanation may, however, be allowed; and indeed, ought
+to be prefixed, that we may be understood by those readers who have not
+seen our Prospectus.
+
+"WHEN FOUND, MAKE A NOTE OF," is a most admirable rule; and if the
+excellent Captain had never uttered another word, he might have passed
+for a profound philosopher. It is a rule which should shine in gilt
+letters on the gingerbread of youth, and the spectacle-case of age.
+Every man who reads with any view beyond mere pastime, knows the value
+of it. Every one, more or less, acts upon it. Every one regrets and
+suffers who neglects it. There is some trouble in it, to be sure; but in
+what good thing is there not? and what trouble does it save! Nay, what
+mischief! Half the lies that are current in the world owe their origin
+to a misplaced confidence in memory, rather than to intentional
+falsehood. We have never known more than one man who could deliberately
+and conscientiously say that his memory had _never_ deceived him; and he
+(when he saw that he had excited the surprise of his hearers, especially
+those who knew how many years he had spent in the management of
+important commercial affairs) used to add,--because he had never trusted
+it; but had uniformly written down what he was anxious to remember.
+
+But, on the other hand, it cannot be denied that reading and writing
+men, of moderate industry, who act on this rule for any considerable
+length of time, will accumulate a good deal of matter in various forms,
+shapes, and sizes--some more, some less legible and intelligible--some
+unposted in old pocket books--some on whole or half sheets, or mere
+scraps of paper, and backs of letters--some lost sight of and forgotten,
+stuffing out old portfolios, or getting smoky edges in bundles tied up
+with faded tape. There are, we are quite sure, countless boxes and
+drawers, and pigeon-holes of such things, which want looking over, and
+would well repay the trouble.
+
+Nay, we are sure that the proprietors would find themselves much
+benefited even if we were to do nothing more than to induce them to look
+over their own collections. How much good might we have done (as well as
+got, for we do not pretend to speak quite disinterestedly), if we had
+had the looking over and methodizing of the chaos in which Mr. Oldbuck
+found himself just at the moment, so agonizing to an author, when he
+knows that the patience of his victim is oozing away, and fears it will
+be quite gone before he can lay his hand on the charm which is to fix
+him a hopeless listener:--"So saying, the Antiquary opened a drawer, and
+began rummaging among a quantity of miscellaneous papers ancient and
+modern. But it was the misfortune of this learned gentleman, as it may
+be that of many learned and unlearned, that he frequently experienced on
+such occasions, what Harlequin calls "_l'embarras des richesses_"--in
+other words, the abundance of his collection often prevented him from
+finding the article he sought for." We need not add that this
+unsuccessful search for Professor Mac Cribb's epistle, and the scroll of
+the Antiquary's answer, was the unfortunate turning-point on which the
+very existence of the documents depended, and that from that day to this
+nobody has seen them, or known where to look for them.
+
+But we hope for more extensive and important benefits than these, from
+furnishing a medium by which much valuable information may become a sort
+of common property among those who can appreciate and use it. We do not
+anticipate any holding back by those whose "NOTES" are most worth
+having, or any want of "QUERIES" from those best able to answer them.
+Whatever may be the case in other things, it is certain that those who
+are best informed are generally the most ready to communicate knowledge
+and to confess ignorance, to feel the value of such a work as we are
+attempting, and to understand that if it is to be well done they must
+help to do it. Some cheap and frequent means for the interchange of
+thought is certainly wanted by those who are engaged in literature, art,
+and science, and we only hope to persuade the best men in all, that we
+offer them the best medium of communication with each other.
+
+By this time, we hope, our readers are prepared to admit that our title
+(always one of the most difficult points of a book to settle), has not
+been imprudently or unwisely adopted. We wish to bring together the
+ideas and the wants, not merely of men engaged in the same lines of
+action or inquiry, but also (and very particularly) of those who are
+going different ways, and only meet at the crossings, where a helping
+hand is oftenest needed, and they would be happy to give one if they
+knew it was wanted. In this way we desire that our little book should
+take "NOTES," and be a medley of all that men are doing--that the Notes
+of the writer and the reader, whatever be the subject-matter of his
+studies, of the antiquary, and the artist, the man of science, the
+historian, the herald, and the genealogist, in short, Notes relating to
+all subjects but such as are, in popular discourse, termed either
+political or polemical, should meet in our columns in such
+juxta-position, as to give fair play to any natural attraction or
+repulsion between them, and so that if there are any hooks and eyes
+among them, they may catch each other.
+
+Now, with all modesty, we submit, that for the title of such a work as
+we have in view, and have endeavoured to describe, no word could be so
+proper as "NOTES." Can any man, in his wildest dream of imagination,
+conceive of any thing that may not be--nay, that has not been--treated
+of in a _note?_ Thousands of things there are, no doubt, which cannot be
+sublimed into poetry, or elevated into history, or treated of with
+dignity, in a stilted text of any kind, and which are, as it is called,
+"thrown" into notes; but, after all, they are much like children sent
+out of the stiff drawing-room into the nursery, snubbed to be sure by
+the act, but joyful in the freedom of banishment. We were going to say
+(but it might sound vainglorious), where do things read so well as in
+notes? but we will put the question in another form:--Where do you so
+well test an author's learning and knowledge of his subject?--where do
+you find the pith of his most elaborate researches?--where do his most
+original suggestions escape?--where do you meet with the details that
+fix your attention at the time and cling to your memory for ever?--where
+do both writer and reader luxuriate so much at their case, and feel that
+they are wisely discursive?--But if we pursue this idea, it will be
+scarcely possible to avoid something which might look like self-praise;
+and we content ourselves for the present with expressing our humble
+conviction that we are doing a service to writers and readers, by
+calling forth materials which they have themselves thought worth notice,
+but which, for want of elaboration, and the "little leisure" that has
+not yet come, are lying, and may lie for ever, unnoticed by others, and
+presenting them in an unadorned _multum-in-parvo_ form. To our readers
+therefore who are seeking for Truth, we repeat "When found make a NOTE
+of!" and we must add, "till then make a QUERY."

+
+PLACE OF CAPTURE OF THE DUKE OF MONMOUTH.
+
+20th October, 1849.
+
+Mr. Editor,--Mr. Macaulay's account of the Battle of Sedgemoor is
+rendered singularly picturesque and understandable by the personal
+observation and local tradition which he has brought to bear upon it.
+Might not his account of the capture of Monmouth derive some few
+additional life-giving touches, from the same invaluable sources of
+information. It is extremely interesting, as every thing adorned by Mr.
+Macaulay's luminous style must necessarily be, but it lacks a little of
+that bright and living reality, which, in the account of Sedgemoor, and
+in many other parts of the book, are imparted by minute particularity
+and precise local knowledge. It runs as follows:--
+
+    "On Cranbourne Chase the strength of the horses failed. They were
+    therefore turned loose. The bridles and saddles were concealed.
+    Monmouth and his friends disguised themselves as country-men, and
+    proceeded on foot towards the New Forest. They passed the night in
+    the open air: but before morning they were surrounded on every
+    side.... At five in the morning of the seventh, Grey was seized by
+    two of Lumley's scouts.... It could hardly be doubted that the chief
+    rebel was not far off. The pursuers redoubled their vigilance and
+    activity. The cottages scattered over the healthy country on the
+    boundaries of Dorsetshire and Hampshire were strictly examined by
+    Lumley; and the clown with whom Monmouth had changed clothes was
+    discovered. Portman came with a strong body of horse and foot to
+    assist in the search. Attention was soon drawn to a place well
+    suited to shelter fugitives. It was an extensive tract of land
+    separated by an inclosure from the open country, and divided by
+    numerous hedges into small fields. In some of these fields the rye,
+    the pease, and the oats were high enough to conceal a man. Others
+    were overgrown by fern and brambles. A poor woman reported that she
+    had seen two strangers lurking in this covert. The near prospect of
+    reward animated the zeal of the troops.... The outer fence was
+    strictly guarded: the space within was examined with indefatigable
+    diligence; and several dogs of quick scent were turned out among the
+    bushes. The day closed before the search could be completed: but
+    careful watch was kept all night. Thirty times the fugitives
+    ventured to look through the outer hedge: but everywhere they found
+    a sentinel on the alert: once they were seen and fired at: they then
+    separated and concealed themselves in different hiding places.
+
+    "At sunrise the next morning the search recommenced, and Buyse was
+    found. He owned that he had parted from the Duke only a few hours
+    before. The corn and copsewood were now beaten with more care than
+    ever. At length a gaunt figure was discovered hidden in a ditch. The
+    pursuers sprang on their prey. Some of them were about to fire; but
+    Portman forbade all violence. The prisoner's dress was that of a
+    shepherd; his beard, prematurely grey, was of several days' growth.
+    He trembled greatly, and was unable to speak. Even those who had
+    often seen him were at first in doubt whether this were the
+    brilliant and graceful Monmouth. His pockets were searched by
+    Portman, and in them were found, among some raw pease gathered in
+    the rage of hunger, a watch, a purse of gold, a small treatise on
+    fortification, an album filled with songs, receipts, prayers, and
+    charms, and the George with which, many years before, King Charles
+    the Second had decorated his favourite son."--_Hist. Eng._, i. pp.
+    616-618. 2nd edition.
+
+Now, this is all extremely admirable. It is a brilliant description of
+an important historical incident. But on what precise spot did it take
+place? One would like to endeavour to realise such an event at the very
+place where it occurred, and the historian should enable us to do so. I
+believe the spot is very well known, and that the traditions of the
+neighbourhood upon the subject are still vivid. It was near Woodyate's
+Inn, a well-known roadside inn, a few miles from Salisbury, on the road
+to Blandford, that the Duke and his companions turned adrift their
+horses. From thence they crossed the country in almost a due southerly
+direction. The tract of land in which the Duke took refuge is rightly
+described by Mr. Macaulay, as "separated by an inclosure from the open
+country." Its nature is no less clearly indicated by its local name of
+"The Island." The open down which surrounds it is called Shag's Heath.
+The Island is described as being about a mile and a half from Woodlands,
+and in the parish of Horton, in Dorsetshire. The field in which the Duke
+concealed himself is still called "Monmouth Close." It is at the
+north-eastern extremity of the Island. An ash-tree at the foot of which
+the would-be-king was found crouching in a ditch and half hid under the
+fern, was standing a few years ago, and was deeply indented with the
+carved initials of crowds of persons who has been to visit it. Mr.
+Macaulay has mentioned that the fields were covered--it was the eighth
+of July--with standing crops of rye, pease, and oats. In one of them, a
+field of pease, tradition tells us that the Duke dropped a gold
+snuff-box. It was picked up some time afterwards by a labourer, who
+carried it to Mrs. Uvedale of Horton, probably the proprietress of the
+field, and received in reward fifteen pounds, which was said to be half
+its value. On his capture, the Duke was first taken to the house of
+Anthony Etterick, Esq., a magistrate who resided at Holt, which adjoins
+Horton. Tradition, which records the popular feeling rather than the
+fact, reports, that the poor woman who informed the pursuers that she
+had seen two strangers lurking in the Island--her name was Amy
+Farrant--never prospered afterwards; and that Henry Parkin, the soldier,
+who, spying the skirt of the smock-frock which the Duke had assumed as a
+disguise, recalled the searching party just as they were leaving the
+Island, burst into tears and reproached himself bitterly for his fatal
+discovery.
+
+It is a defect in the Ordnance Survey, that neither the Island nor
+Monmouth Close is indicated upon it by name.
+
+I know not, Mr. Editor, whether these particulars are of the kind which
+you design to print as "NOTES." If they are so, and you give them place
+in your miscellany, be good enough to add a "QUERY" addressed to your
+Dorsetshire correspondents, as to whether the ash-tree is now standing,
+and what is the actual condition of the spot at the present time. The
+facts I have stated are partly derived from the book known as _Addison's
+Anecdotes_, vol. iv., p. 12. 1794, 8vo. They have been used, more or
+less, by the late Rev. P. Hall, in his _Account of Ringwood_, and by Mr.
+Roberts, in his _Life of Monmouth_.
+
+With the best of good wishes for the success of your most useful
+periodical,
+
+Believe me, Mr. Editor,
+
+Yours very truly,

+SHAKESPEARE AND DEER-STEALING.
+
+In "The Life of Shakespeare," prefixed to the edition of his Works I saw
+through the press three of four years ago, I necessarily entered into
+the deer-stealing question, admitting that I could not, as some had
+done, "entirely discredit the story," and following it up by proof (in
+opposition to the assertion of Malone), that Sir Thomas Lucy had deer,
+which Shakespeare might have been concerned in stealing. I also, in the
+same place (vol. i. p. xcv.), showed, from several authorities, how
+common and how venial offence it was considered in the middle of the
+reign of Elizabeth. Looking over some MSS. of that time, a few weeks
+since, I met with a very singular and confirmatory piece of evidence,
+establishing that in the year 1585, the precise period when our great
+dramatist is supposed to have made free with the deer of the knight of
+Charlcote, nearly all the cooks'-shops and ordinaries of London were
+supplied with stolen venison. The following letter from the lord mayor
+(which I copy from the original) of that day, Thomas Pullyson, to
+secretary Walsingham, speaks for itself, and shows that the matter has
+been deemed of so much important as to call for the interposition of the
+Privy Council: the city authorities were required to take instant and
+arbitrary measures for putting an end to the consumption of venison and
+to the practice of deer-stealing, by means of which houses &c. of public
+resort in London were furnished with that favourite viand. The letter of
+the lord mayor was a speedy reply to a communication from the queen's
+ministers on the subject:--
+
+    "Right honorable, where yesterday I receaved letters from her Ma'tes
+    most honorable privie councill, advertisinge me that her highnes was
+    enformed that Venison ys as ordinarilie sould by the Cookes of
+    London as other flesh, to the greate distruction of the game.
+    Commaundinge me thereby to take severall bondes of xl'li the peece
+    of all the Cookes in London not to buye or sell any venison
+    hereafter, uppon payne of forfayture of the same bondes; neyther to
+    receave any venison to bake without keepinge a note of theire names
+    that shall deliver the same unto them. Whereupon presentlie I called
+    the Wardens of the Cookes before me, advertisinge them hereof,
+    requiringe them to cause their whole company to appeare before me,
+    to thende I might take bondes accordinge to a condition hereinclosed
+    sent to your Ho.; whoe answered that touchinge the first clause
+    thereof they were well pleased therewith, but for the latter clause
+    they thought yt a greate inconvenience to their companie, and
+    therefore required they might be permitted to make theire answeres,
+    and alledge theire reasons therof before theire honors. Affirmed
+    alsoe, that the Tablinge howses and Tavernes are greater receyvors
+    and destroyers of stollen venison than all the rest of the Cittie:
+    whereupon they craved that eyther they maye be likewise bounden, or
+    else authoritie may be geven to the Cookes to searche for the same
+    hereafter. I have therefore taken bondes of the wardens for their
+    speedy appearance before theire honors to answere the same; and I am
+    bolde to pray your Ho. to impart the same unto their Ho., and that I
+    maye with speede receyve theire future direction herein. And soe I
+    humbly take my leave. London, the xj'th of June, 1585.
+

+
+I dare say that the registers of the Privy Council contain some record
+of what was done on the occasion, and would enable us to decide whether
+the very reasonable request of the Cooks of London had been complied
+with. Whether this be or be not so, the above document establishes
+beyond question that in the summer of 1585 cooks'-shops, tabling-houses
+(i.e. ordinaries), and taverns, were abundantly supplied with stolen
+venison, and that the offence of stealing must have been very common.

+"PRAY REMEMBER THE GROTTO!" ON ST. JAMES' DAY.
+
+When the great popularity which the legends of the Saints formerly
+enjoyed is considered it becomes matter of surprise that they should not
+have been more frequently consulted for illustrations of our folk-lore
+and popular observances. The Edinburgh Reviewer of Mrs. Jameson's
+_Sacred and Legendary Art_ has, with great judgement, extracted from
+that work a legend, in which, as he shows very clearly[A], we have the
+real, although hitherto unnoticed, origin of the Three Balls which still
+form the recognised sign of a Pawnbroker. The passage is so curious,
+that it should be transferred entire to the "NOTES AND QUERIES."
+
+  [A] Edinburgh Review, vol. lxxxix. p.400.
+
+    "None of the many diligent investigators of our popular antiquities
+    have yet traced home the three golden balls of our pawnbrokers to
+    the emblem of St. Nicholas. They have been properly enough referred
+    to the Lombard merchants, who were the first to open loan-shops in
+    England for the relief of temporary distress. But the Lombards had
+    merely assumed an emblem which had been appropriated to St.
+    Nicholas, as their charitable predecessor in that very line of
+    business. The following is the legend: and it is too prettily told
+    to be omitted:--
+
+    "'Now in that city (Panthera) there dwelt a certain nobleman, who
+    had three daughters, and, from being rich, he became poor; so poor
+    that there remained no means of obtaining food for his daughters but
+    by sacrificing them to an infamous life; and oftentimes it came into
+    his mind to tell them so, but shame and sorrow held him dumb.
+    Meanwhile the maidens wept continually, not knowing what to do, and
+    not having bread to eat; and their father became more and more
+    desperate. When Nicholas heard of this, he thought it shame that
+    such a thing should happen in a Christian land; therefore one night,
+    when the maidens were asleep, and their father alone sat watching
+    and weeping, he took a handful of gold, and, tying it up in a
+    handkerchief, he repaired to the dwelling of the poor man. He
+    considered how he might bestow it without making himself known; and,
+    while he stood irresolute, the moon coming from behind a cloud
+    showed him a window open; so he threw it in, and it fell at the feet
+    of the father, who, when he found it, returned thanks, and with it
+    he portioned his eldest daughter. A second time Nicholas provided a
+    similar sum, and again he threw it in by night; and with it the
+    nobleman married his second daughter. But he greatly desired to know
+    who it was that came to his aid; therefore he determined to watch:
+    and when the good Saint came for the third time, and prepared to
+    throw in the third portion, he was discovered, for the nobleman
+    seized him by the skirt of his robe, and flung himself at his feet,
+    saying, "O Nicholas! servant of God! why seek to hid thyself?" and
+    he kissed his feet and his hands. But Nicholas made him promise that
+    he would tell no man. And many other charitable works did Nicholas
+    perform in his native city.'
+
+    "These three purses of gold, or, as they are more customarily
+    figured, these three golden balls, disposed in exact pawnbroker
+    fashion, are to this day the recognised special emblem of the
+    charitable St. Nicholas."
+
+And now for the more immediate object of the present Note, which is to
+show--what, when once pointed out, will, I think, readily be admitted,
+namely, that in the grotto formed of oyster shells, and lighted with a
+votive candle, to which on old St. James's day (5th August) the passer
+by is earnestly entreated to contribute by cries of, "Pray remember the
+Grotto!" we have a memorial of the world-renowned shrine of St. James at
+Compostella.
+
+The popularity which St. James formerly enjoyed in England, and the zeal
+with which his shrine was visited by natives of this country, have
+recently been so clearly shown by Mr. J.G. Nichols, in his interesting
+little volume, _Pilgrimages to St. Mary of Walsingham and St. Thomas of
+Canterbury_, that I need not here insist upon these points.
+
+What the original object of making these grottoes may have been I can
+only suggest: but I shall not be surprised if it should turn out that
+they were formerly erected on the anniversary of St. James by poor
+persons, as an invitation to the pious who could not visit
+Compostella, to show their reverence for the Saint by almsgiving to
+their needy brethren.
+
+Oysters are only allowed to be sold in London (which city, by the by,
+levied a tax of two pence on every person going and returning by the
+river Thames on pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James), after St.
+James's day. Why is this? I wish Mr. Wansey, who is an able antiquary,
+and one authorised to look into the records of Fishmongers' Company,
+would give us the information upon this point which these documents may
+be expected to furnish.

+
+P.S.--I should be glad if any of the readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES"
+could explain to that Erasmus alludes, when he says, "Culmeis ornatus
+torquibus, brachium habet ova serpentum," which L'Estrange translated,
+"Straw-works,--snakes, eggs for bracelets;" and Mr. Nichols, who
+honestly states that he is unable to explain the allusion, as he does
+not find such emblems elsewhere mentioned,--"adorned with straw
+necklaces and bracelets of serpents' eggs."

+NOTE OF A MS. VOLUME OF CHRONICLES AT REIGATE.
+
+Amongst the objects of the useful medium of literary communication
+afforded by the publication of "NOTES AND QUERIES," one appears to be a
+record of the casual notice of "some book or some edition, hitherto
+unknown or imperfectly described." I am induced therefore to inquire,
+whether the existence of an ancient MS. volume of Chronicles, which I
+have recently noticed in the little library adjoining Reigate Church, is
+already known to those who investigate out monastic annals? This volume
+may probably not have escaped their research, especially since the
+republication and extension of Wharton's Collection, have been recently
+proposed. A chronological series of chronicles relativing to the see of
+Canterbury was announced amongst the projected publications of the
+"Anglia Christiana Society."
+
+The Reigate library, of which brief mention is made in Manning's and
+Bray's _History of Surrey_ (vol. i. p. 314.) without any notice of its
+contents, is preserved in the upper chamber of a building on the north
+side of the chancel, erected in 1513, and designated as a "vestibulum"
+in a contemporary inscription. The collection is small, and amoungst the
+most interesting volumes is a small folio, in the original oaken boards
+covered with white leather, presented to the library, 7. June, 1701, by
+William Jordan, of Gatwick, in the adjacent parish of Charlwood,
+probably the same person who was member for the borough of Reigate in
+1717. Of previous possessors of the book nothing is recorded. It
+comprises several concise chronicles, which may be thus described:--
+
+1. "Cathologus Romanorum Pontificum:"--imperfect, commencing with fol.
+11; some leaves also lost at the end. It closes with the year 1359, in
+the times of Innocent VI.
+
+2. "De Imperatoribus Romanis:"--from Julius Caesar to the election and
+coronation of Charles IV. after the death of the emperor Lewis of
+Bavaria, and the battle of Cressy, in 1347.
+
+3. "Compilacio Cronicorum de diversis Archiepiscopis ecclesie
+Cantuariensis:"--the chronicle of Stephen Birchington, a monk of
+Canterbury, printed by Wharton, from a MS. in the Lambeth collection.
+The text varies in many particulars, which may be of minor moment, but
+deserve collation. The writing varies towards the close, as if the
+annals had been continued at intervals; and they close with the
+succession of Archibishop William de Witleseye, in 1368, as in the text
+printed by Wharton (_Anglia Sacra_, vol. i. pp. 1-48.).
+
+4. "De principio mundi, et etatibus ejusdem.--De insulis et civitatibus
+Anglie:"--forming a sort of brief preface to the following--"Hic incipit
+Bruto de gestis Anglorum." The narrative begins with a tale of a certain
+giant king of Greece, in the year 3009, who had thirty daughters: the
+eldest, Albina, gave her name to Albion. The history is continued to the
+accession of William Rufus.
+
+5. "Incipit Cronica de adquisicione Regni Anglie per Willelmum Ducem
+Normannorum," &c. closing in 1364, with the birth of Edward of
+Engolesme, eldest son of the Black Prince. Wharton speaks of "Historiae
+de regibus Anglorum, de Pontificibus Romanis, et de Imperatoribus
+Romanis," as found together with the chronicle of the archibishops of
+Canterbury; both in the Lambeth MS. and in another formerly in the
+possession of William Reede, Bishop of Chichester: and he was inclined
+to attribute the whole to the pen of Birchington.
+
+6. "Gesta Scotorum contra Anglicos:"--commencing in 1066, with the times
+of Malcolm, king of Scotland, and ending in 1346, with the capture of
+David II., and the calamitous defeat of the Scots near Durham.
+
+At the commencement of the volume are found some miscellaneous writings
+of less interesting character. I noticed, however, an entry relating to
+the foundation of a chapel at "Ocolte," now written Knockholt, in Kent,
+by Ralph Scot, who had erected a mansion remote from the parish church,
+and obtained license for the consecration of the chapel in the year
+1281, in the time of Archbishop Kilwareby.
+
+The writing of the MS. appears to be of the latter half of the
+fourteenth century. Possibly there may be reader of these "NOTES AND
+QUERIES," more familiar with such inquiries than myself, who may have
+examined other contemporary MSS. of the compilations of Stephen
+Birchington. I shall be thankful for any information regarding them, and
+especially as regards the existence of any transcript of the Canterbury
+Annals, extended beyond the year 1368, with which this copy as well as
+that used by Wharton closes; whilst he supposes that in the chronicle as
+cited by Jocelin, chaplain to Matthew Parker, they had been carried as
+far as the year 1382.

+THE MORNING CHRONICLE, ETC.--WHEN FIRST ESTABLISHED.
+
+It is read in the _Newspaper Directory_ that _The Morning Chronicle_ was
+established in 1770, _The Morning Herald_ in 1781, _The Times_, 1st
+January, 1788. I believe that not one of these dates is correct, and
+that of _The Morning Herald_ to be wrong by fifteen years or more. Can
+you, or any of the readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES," give me the exact
+dates, or tell me where I can find the earlier volumes; say, the first
+ten, or either or all?

+VALUE OF A REPOSITORY FOR "NOTES."--NEW EDITION OF HERBERT'S "AMES."
+
+    [The suggestions in the following Paper are so extremely valuable,
+    that we are not only pleased to give it insertion, but hope that our
+    readers will take advantage of our columns to carry out Dr.
+    Maitland's recommendations.]
+
+Sir,--My attention has been particularly engaged by one suggestion in
+your Prospectus, because it seems to hold out a hope that your intended
+work will furnish what has long been a _desideratum_ in literature. We
+really do want something that may form a "supplement to works already in
+existence--a treasury for enriching future editions of them;" while it
+may also receive (as I have no doubt you meant to include,) such
+contributions of moderate extent, as may tend to render fuller and more
+correct some works which have little or no chance of future editions. In
+this way you may be of great use in every department of literature; and
+especially in works of reference. With them, indeed, correctness is
+everything; perfect accuracy is not to be attained, and the nearest
+possible approximation to it can be made only by many little careful
+steps, backwards as well as forwards.
+
+By works of reference, however, I do not mean Dictionaries, though I
+would include them, as a class of works for which I have a singular
+respect, and to which my remark particularly applies. There are many
+other books, and some which very properly aspire to the tile of History,
+which are, in fact and practically, books of reference, and of little
+value if they have not the completeness and accuracy which should
+characterise that class of works. Now it frequently happens to people
+whose reading is at all discursive, that they incidentally fall upon
+small matters of correction or criticism, which are of little value to
+themselves, but would be very useful to those who are otherwise engaged,
+if they knew of their existence.
+
+I might perhaps illustrate this matter by referring to various works;
+but it happens to be more in my way to mention Herbert's edition of
+Ames's _Typographical Antiquities_. It may be hoped that some day or
+other, the valuable matter of which it consists will be reduced to a
+better form and method; for it seems hardly too much to say, that he
+appears to have adopted the very worst that could have been selected. I
+need not tell you that I have no idea of undertaking such a thing, and I
+really have no suspicion (I wish I had) that anybody else is thinking of
+doing it:--or, in other words, I am not attempting to make use of your
+columns by insinuating a preparatory puff for a work in progress, or
+even in contemplation. I only mention the book as one of a class which
+may be essentially benefited by your offering a receptacle for
+illustrations, additions, and corrections, such as individually, or in
+small collections, are of little or no value, and are frequently almost
+in the very opposite condition to those things which are of no value to
+any body but the owner. For instance, when I was in the habit of seeing
+many of the books noted by Herbert, and had his volumes lying beside me,
+I made hundreds, perhaps thousands, of petty corrections, and many from
+books which he had not had an opportunity of seeing, and of which he
+could only reprint incorrect descriptions. All of these, though trifling
+in themselves, are things which should be noticed in case of a reprint;
+but how much time and trouble would it cost an editor to find and
+collate the necessary books? That, to be sure, is his business; but the
+question for the public is, _Would_ it be done at all? and could it in
+such cases be done so well in any other way, as by appointing some place
+of rendezvous for the casual and incidental materials for improvement
+which may fall in the way of readers pursuing different lines of
+inquiry, and rewarded, as men in pursuit of truth always are, whatever
+may be their success as to their _immediate_ object, by finding more
+than they are looking for--things, too, which when they get into their
+right places, show that they were worth finding--and, perhaps, unknown
+to those more conversant with the subject to which they belong, just
+because they were in the out-of-the-way place where they were found by
+somebody who was looking for something else.

+BIBLIOGRAPHIC PROJECT.
+
+Of the various sections into which the history of English literature is
+divisible, there is no one in which the absence of collective materials
+is more seriously felt--no one in which we are more in need of authentic
+_notes_, or which is more apt to raise perplexing _queries_--than that
+which relates to the authorship of anonymous and pseudonymous works.
+
+The importance of the inquiry is not inferior to the ardour with which
+it has sometimes been pursued, or the curiosity which it has excited. On
+all questions of testimony, whether historical or scientific, it is a
+consideration of the position and character of the writer which chiefly
+enables us to decide on the credibility of his statements, to account
+for the bias of his opinions, and to estimate his entire evidence at its
+just value. The remark also applies, in a qualified sense, to
+productions of an imaginative nature.
+
+On the number of the works of this class, I can only hazard a
+conjecture. In French literature, it amounts to about one-third part of
+the whole mass. In English literature, it cannot be less than one-sixth
+part--perhaps more. Be it as it may, the SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT of all
+that has been revealed in that way, and of all that is dicoverable, is
+essential to the perfection of literary history, of literary biography,
+and of bibliography.
+
+At the present moment, I can only announce the project as a stimulus to
+unemployed aspirants, and as a hint to fortunate collectors, to prepare
+for an exhibition of their cryptic treasures.--On a future occasion I
+shall describe the plan of construction which seems more eligible--shall
+briefly notice the scattered materials which it may be expedient to
+consult, whether in public depositories, or in private hands--and shall
+make an appeal to those whose assistance may be required, to enable a
+competent editor to carry out the plan with credit and success.
+
+On the prevalence of anonymous writing, on its occasional convenience,
+and on its pernicious consequences, I shall make no remarks. Facts,
+rather than arguments, should be the staple commodity of an instructive
+miscellany.

+    "This extraordinary man flourished in the reign of Henry II., and
+    was, therefore, of Old Salisbury, not of New Salisbury, which was
+    not founded till the reign of Henry III. Having had the best
+    education of the time, and being not only a genius, but intimate
+    with the most eminent men, in particular with Pope Hadrian (who was
+    himself an Englishman), he became at length a bishop, and died in

+LIBER SENTENTIARUM.--INQUISITION OF THOULOUSE.
+
+Mr. Editor,--In or about 1756, an ancient manuscript in folio, on
+vellum, was deposited in the British Museum by Dr. Secker, then Bishop
+of Oxford, afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury, and still, I take for
+granted, remains in that institution. It was intitled upon the cover,
+_Liber Sententiarum_; but contained the Acts and Decisions of the
+Inquisition of Thoulouse, from the year 1307 to 1323. It had been
+purchased by the contributions of the Archbishops of Canterbury and
+York, of the Bishop of Oxford himself, and of various other prelates,
+the lord Chancellor, the Speaker of the House of Commons of that time,
+the Viscount Royston, &c.
+
+Can any of your readers inform me whether any or what portions of this
+manuscript have been hitherto communicated to the world, either in the
+way of publication or translation, or of abridgment, in whole or in
+part? An analysis of this manuscript would be interesting to many
+readers of ecclesiastical history.

+her road from London to Durham. At East Barnet, it is well known, she
+eluded the vigilance of her keepers, and threw the king and council into
+the utmost consternation.

+POEM MENTIONED IN ONE OF THE LANSDOWNE MSS.
+
+In vol. 61. of the _Lansdowne MSS._ in the British Museum occurs the
+following remarkable letter from the Bishop of London (John Aylmer) to
+Lord Burghley. I wish to be informed to what "foolish rhime," which had
+been printed in Oxford and London, it applies? It is a question of some
+literary importance to me at the present moment, and I am glad to have
+the opportunity of putting it by means of your new hebdomadal
+undertaking. I hope to meet with a reply in your "NOTES AND QUERIES" of
+next week.
+
+    "_To the Lord Treasurer_,
+
+    "Yt may please your good L. to understand, that upon inquiry made
+    for the setting forth of this foolish rime, I finde that it was
+    first printed at Oxford, by Joseph Barnes, and after here by Toby
+    Cooke, without licence, who is now out of towne, but as sone as he
+    returneth, I will talke with him about it. I marvell that they of
+    Oxford will suffer such toyes to be sett forth by their authority;
+    for in my opinion it had been better to have thanked God, than to
+    have insulted upon men, and especially upon princes. And so I take
+    my leave of your good L., praying God to send you health to his
+    honour and all our good. From my pallace at London, this xxix'th of
+    Aprill 1589.

+    "JOHN LOND."
+
+If the above refer to any production in verse upon the defeat of the
+Armada, Lord Burghley (who had probably made inquiries of the Bishop)
+seems to have been actuated by some extraordinary and uncalled-for
+delicacy towards the King of Spain. Waiting an explanation, I am your
+
+HEARTY WELL-WISHER.

+LORD CHATHAM'S SPEECH ON THE AMERICAN STAMP ACT.

+of Chatham_, vol. i. p. 27.
+
+    "The Debates on the American Stamp Act in 1764 are the first that
+    can be said to have been preserved at all, through the happy
+    accident of Lord Charlemont, assisted by Sir Robert Dean, &c. &c.,

+NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS:
+
+The matter is so generally understood with regard to the management of
+periodical works, that it is hardly necessary for the Editor to say
+that HE CANNOT UNDERTAKE TO RETURN MANUSCRIPTS; but on one point he
+wishes to offer a few words of explanation to his correspondents in
+general, and particularly to those who do not enable him to communicate
+with them except in print. They will see, on a very little reflection,
+that it is plainly his interest to take all he can get, and make the
+most, and best, of everything; and therefore he begs them to take for
+granted that their communications are received and appreciated, even if
+the succeeding Number bears no proof of it. He is convinced that the
+want of specific acknowledgement will only be felt by those who have no
+idea of the labour and difficulty attendant on the hurried management of
+such a work, and of the impossibility of sometimes giving an
+explanation, when there really is one which would quite satisfy the
+writer, for the delay or non-insertion of his communication.
+Correspondents in such cases have no reason, and if they understood an
+editor's position they would feel that they have no right, to consider
+themselves undervalued; but nothing short of personal experience in
+editorship would explain to them the perplexities and evil consequences
+arising from an opposite course.

+AUBERY JUNIOR The coincidence is certainly curious. When the 3rd of
+November was fixed for the first appearance of "NOTES AND QUERIES," it
+was little thought that it was the anniversary of the birth of John
+Aubrey, the most noted Querist, if not the queerest _Noter_, of all
+English antiquaries. His "Mem. to ask Mr. ----" no doubt indirectly
+suggested our title.
+
+PHILOBIBLION is thanked for his suggestion, that we should "print lists
+of all the books printed by the Roxburgh, Abbotsford, Camden,
+Spottiswoode, and other publishing Clubs and Societies." His suggestion
+had, however, been anticipated: arrangements are making for giving not
+only the information suggested by PHILOBIBLION, but also particulars
+of the works issued by the different Continental publishing Societies,
+such as  _La Societe de L'Histoire de France_, _Der Literaische Verein in
+Stuttgart_, and the _Svenska Fornskrift-Saellskap_ of Stockholm, so that

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works

+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or

+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you

+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm

+NOTES AND QUERIES.
+
+The nature and design of the present work have been so fully stated in
+the Prospectus, and are indeed so far explained by its very Title, that
+it is unnecessary to occupy any great portion of its first number with
+details on the subject. We are under no temptation to fill its columns
+with an account of what we hope future numbers will be. Indeed, we would
+rather give a specimen than a description; and only regret that, from
+the wide range of subjects which it is intended to embrace, and the
+correspondence and contributions of various kinds which we are led to
+expect, even this can only be done gradually. A few words of
+introduction and explanation may, however, be allowed; and indeed, ought
+to be prefixed, that we may be understood by those readers who have not
+seen our Prospectus.
+
+"WHEN FOUND, MAKE A NOTE OF," is a most admirable rule; and if the
+excellent Captain had never uttered another word, he might have passed
+for a profound philosopher. It is a rule which should shine in gilt
+letters on the gingerbread of youth, and the spectacle-case of age.
+Every man who reads with any view beyond mere pastime, knows the value
+of it. Every one, more or less, acts upon it. Every one regrets and
+suffers who neglects it. There is some trouble in it, to be sure; but in
+what good thing is there not? and what trouble does it save! Nay, what
+mischief! Half the lies that are current in the world owe their origin
+to a misplaced confidence in memory, rather than to intentional
+falsehood. We have never known more than one man who could deliberately
+and conscientiously say that his memory had _never_ deceived him; and he
+(when he saw that he had excited the surprise of his hearers, especially
+those who knew how many years he had spent in the management of
+important commercial affairs) used to add,--because he had never trusted
+it; but had uniformly written down what he was anxious to remember.
+
+But, on the other hand, it cannot be denied that reading and writing
+men, of moderate industry, who act on this rule for any considerable
+length of time, will accumulate a good deal of matter in various forms,
+shapes, and sizes--some more, some less legible and intelligible--some
+unposted in old pocket books--some on whole or half sheets, or mere
+scraps of paper, and backs of letters--some lost sight of and forgotten,
+stuffing out old portfolios, or getting smoky edges in bundles tied up
+with faded tape. There are, we are quite sure, countless boxes and
+drawers, and pigeon-holes of such things, which want looking over, and
+would well repay the trouble.
+
+Nay, we are sure that the proprietors would find themselves much
+benefited even if we were to do nothing more than to induce them to look
+over their own collections. How much good might we have done (as well as
+got, for we do not pretend to speak quite disinterestedly), if we had
+had the looking over and methodizing of the chaos in which Mr. Oldbuck
+found himself just at the moment, so agonizing to an author, when he
+knows that the patience of his victim is oozing away, and fears it will
+be quite gone before he can lay his hand on the charm which is to fix
+him a hopeless listener:--"So saying, the Antiquary opened a drawer, and
+began rummaging among a quantity of miscellaneous papers ancient and
+modern. But it was the misfortune of this learned gentleman, as it may
+be that of many learned and unlearned, that he frequently experienced on
+such occasions, what Harlequin calls "_l'embarras des richesses_"--in
+other words, the abundance of his collection often prevented him from
+finding the article he sought for." We need not add that this
+unsuccessful search for Professor Mac Cribb's epistle, and the scroll of
+the Antiquary's answer, was the unfortunate turning-point on which the
+very existence of the documents depended, and that from that day to this
+nobody has seen them, or known where to look for them.
+
+But we hope for more extensive and important benefits than these, from
+furnishing a medium by which much valuable information may become a sort
+of common property among those who can appreciate and use it. We do not
+anticipate any holding back by those whose "NOTES" are most worth
+having, or any want of "QUERIES" from those best able to answer them.
+Whatever may be the case in other things, it is certain that those who
+are best informed are generally the most ready to communicate knowledge
+and to confess ignorance, to feel the value of such a work as we are
+attempting, and to understand that if it is to be well done they must
+help to do it. Some cheap and frequent means for the interchange of
+thought is certainly wanted by those who are engaged in literature, art,
+and science, and we only hope to persuade the best men in all, that we
+offer them the best medium of communication with each other.
+
+By this time, we hope, our readers are prepared to admit that our title
+(always one of the most difficult points of a book to settle), has not
+been imprudently or unwisely adopted. We wish to bring together the
+ideas and the wants, not merely of men engaged in the same lines of
+action or inquiry, but also (and very particularly) of those who are
+going different ways, and only meet at the crossings, where a helping
+hand is oftenest needed, and they would be happy to give one if they
+knew it was wanted. In this way we desire that our little book should
+take "NOTES," and be a medley of all that men are doing--that the Notes
+of the writer and the reader, whatever be the subject-matter of his
+studies, of the antiquary, and the artist, the man of science, the
+historian, the herald, and the genealogist, in short, Notes relating to
+all subjects but such as are, in popular discourse, termed either
+political or polemical, should meet in our columns in such
+juxta-position, as to give fair play to any natural attraction or
+repulsion between them, and so that if there are any hooks and eyes
+among them, they may catch each other.
+
+Now, with all modesty, we submit, that for the title of such a work as
+we have in view, and have endeavoured to describe, no word could be so
+proper as "NOTES." Can any man, in his wildest dream of imagination,
+conceive of any thing that may not be--nay, that has not been--treated
+of in a _note?_ Thousands of things there are, no doubt, which cannot be
+sublimed into poetry, or elevated into history, or treated of with
+dignity, in a stilted text of any kind, and which are, as it is called,
+"thrown" into notes; but, after all, they are much like children sent
+out of the stiff drawing-room into the nursery, snubbed to be sure by
+the act, but joyful in the freedom of banishment. We were going to say
+(but it might sound vainglorious), where do things read so well as in
+notes? but we will put the question in another form:--Where do you so
+well test an author's learning and knowledge of his subject?--where do
+you find the pith of his most elaborate researches?--where do his most
+original suggestions escape?--where do you meet with the details that
+fix your attention at the time and cling to your memory for ever?--where
+do both writer and reader luxuriate so much at their case, and feel that
+they are wisely discursive?--But if we pursue this idea, it will be
+scarcely possible to avoid something which might look like self-praise;
+and we content ourselves for the present with expressing our humble
+conviction that we are doing a service to writers and readers, by
+calling forth materials which they have themselves thought worth notice,
+but which, for want of elaboration, and the "little leisure" that has
+not yet come, are lying, and may lie for ever, unnoticed by others, and
+presenting them in an unadorned _multum-in-parvo_ form. To our readers
+therefore who are seeking for Truth, we repeat "When found make a NOTE
+of!" and we must add, "till then make a QUERY."

+
+PLACE OF CAPTURE OF THE DUKE OF MONMOUTH.
+
+20th October, 1849.
+
+Mr. Editor,--Mr. Macaulay's account of the Battle of Sedgemoor is
+rendered singularly picturesque and understandable by the personal
+observation and local tradition which he has brought to bear upon it.
+Might not his account of the capture of Monmouth derive some few
+additional life-giving touches, from the same invaluable sources of
+information. It is extremely interesting, as every thing adorned by Mr.
+Macaulay's luminous style must necessarily be, but it lacks a little of
+that bright and living reality, which, in the account of Sedgemoor, and
+in many other parts of the book, are imparted by minute particularity
+and precise local knowledge. It runs as follows:--
+
+    "On Cranbourne Chase the strength of the horses failed. They were
+    therefore turned loose. The bridles and saddles were concealed.
+    Monmouth and his friends disguised themselves as country-men, and
+    proceeded on foot towards the New Forest. They passed the night in
+    the open air: but before morning they were surrounded on every
+    side.... At five in the morning of the seventh, Grey was seized by
+    two of Lumley's scouts.... It could hardly be doubted that the chief
+    rebel was not far off. The pursuers redoubled their vigilance and
+    activity. The cottages scattered over the healthy country on the
+    boundaries of Dorsetshire and Hampshire were strictly examined by
+    Lumley; and the clown with whom Monmouth had changed clothes was
+    discovered. Portman came with a strong body of horse and foot to
+    assist in the search. Attention was soon drawn to a place well
+    suited to shelter fugitives. It was an extensive tract of land
+    separated by an inclosure from the open country, and divided by
+    numerous hedges into small fields. In some of these fields the rye,
+    the pease, and the oats were high enough to conceal a man. Others
+    were overgrown by fern and brambles. A poor woman reported that she
+    had seen two strangers lurking in this covert. The near prospect of
+    reward animated the zeal of the troops.... The outer fence was
+    strictly guarded: the space within was examined with indefatigable
+    diligence; and several dogs of quick scent were turned out among the
+    bushes. The day closed before the search could be completed: but
+    careful watch was kept all night. Thirty times the fugitives
+    ventured to look through the outer hedge: but everywhere they found
+    a sentinel on the alert: once they were seen and fired at: they then
+    separated and concealed themselves in different hiding places.
+
+    "At sunrise the next morning the search recommenced, and Buyse was
+    found. He owned that he had parted from the Duke only a few hours
+    before. The corn and copsewood were now beaten with more care than
+    ever. At length a gaunt figure was discovered hidden in a ditch. The
+    pursuers sprang on their prey. Some of them were about to fire; but
+    Portman forbade all violence. The prisoner's dress was that of a
+    shepherd; his beard, prematurely grey, was of several days' growth.
+    He trembled greatly, and was unable to speak. Even those who had
+    often seen him were at first in doubt whether this were the
+    brilliant and graceful Monmouth. His pockets were searched by
+    Portman, and in them were found, among some raw pease gathered in
+    the rage of hunger, a watch, a purse of gold, a small treatise on
+    fortification, an album filled with songs, receipts, prayers, and
+    charms, and the George with which, many years before, King Charles
+    the Second had decorated his favourite son."--_Hist. Eng._, i. pp.
+    616-618. 2nd edition.
+
+Now, this is all extremely admirable. It is a brilliant description of
+an important historical incident. But on what precise spot did it take
+place? One would like to endeavour to realise such an event at the very
+place where it occurred, and the historian should enable us to do so. I
+believe the spot is very well known, and that the traditions of the
+neighbourhood upon the subject are still vivid. It was near Woodyate's
+Inn, a well-known roadside inn, a few miles from Salisbury, on the road
+to Blandford, that the Duke and his companions turned adrift their
+horses. From thence they crossed the country in almost a due southerly
+direction. The tract of land in which the Duke took refuge is rightly
+described by Mr. Macaulay, as "separated by an inclosure from the open
+country." Its nature is no less clearly indicated by its local name of
+"The Island." The open down which surrounds it is called Shag's Heath.
+The Island is described as being about a mile and a half from Woodlands,
+and in the parish of Horton, in Dorsetshire. The field in which the Duke
+concealed himself is still called "Monmouth Close." It is at the
+north-eastern extremity of the Island. An ash-tree at the foot of which
+the would-be-king was found crouching in a ditch and half hid under the
+fern, was standing a few years ago, and was deeply indented with the
+carved initials of crowds of persons who has been to visit it. Mr.
+Macaulay has mentioned that the fields were covered--it was the eighth
+of July--with standing crops of rye, pease, and oats. In one of them, a
+field of pease, tradition tells us that the Duke dropped a gold
+snuff-box. It was picked up some time afterwards by a labourer, who
+carried it to Mrs. Uvedale of Horton, probably the proprietress of the
+field, and received in reward fifteen pounds, which was said to be half
+its value. On his capture, the Duke was first taken to the house of
+Anthony Etterick, Esq., a magistrate who resided at Holt, which adjoins
+Horton. Tradition, which records the popular feeling rather than the
+fact, reports, that the poor woman who informed the pursuers that she
+had seen two strangers lurking in the Island--her name was Amy
+Farrant--never prospered afterwards; and that Henry Parkin, the soldier,
+who, spying the skirt of the smock-frock which the Duke had assumed as a
+disguise, recalled the searching party just as they were leaving the
+Island, burst into tears and reproached himself bitterly for his fatal
+discovery.
+
+It is a defect in the Ordnance Survey, that neither the Island nor
+Monmouth Close is indicated upon it by name.
+
+I know not, Mr. Editor, whether these particulars are of the kind which
+you design to print as "NOTES." If they are so, and you give them place
+in your miscellany, be good enough to add a "QUERY" addressed to your
+Dorsetshire correspondents, as to whether the ash-tree is now standing,
+and what is the actual condition of the spot at the present time. The
+facts I have stated are partly derived from the book known as _Addison's
+Anecdotes_, vol. iv., p. 12. 1794, 8vo. They have been used, more or
+less, by the late Rev. P. Hall, in his _Account of Ringwood_, and by Mr.
+Roberts, in his _Life of Monmouth_.
+
+With the best of good wishes for the success of your most useful
+periodical,
+
+Believe me, Mr. Editor,
+
+Yours very truly,
+
+JOHN BRUCE.

+
+SHAKESPEARE AND DEER-STEALING.
+
+In "The Life of Shakespeare," prefixed to the edition of his Works I saw
+through the press three of four years ago, I necessarily entered into
+the deer-stealing question, admitting that I could not, as some had
+done, "entirely discredit the story," and following it up by proof (in
+opposition to the assertion of Malone), that Sir Thomas Lucy had deer,
+which Shakespeare might have been concerned in stealing. I also, in the
+same place (vol. i. p. xcv.), showed, from several authorities, how
+common and how venial offence it was considered in the middle of the
+reign of Elizabeth. Looking over some MSS. of that time, a few weeks
+since, I met with a very singular and confirmatory piece of evidence,
+establishing that in the year 1585, the precise period when our great
+dramatist is supposed to have made free with the deer of the knight of
+Charlcote, nearly all the cooks'-shops and ordinaries of London were
+supplied with stolen venison. The following letter from the lord mayor
+(which I copy from the original) of that day, Thomas Pullyson, to
+secretary Walsingham, speaks for itself, and shows that the matter has
+been deemed of so much important as to call for the interposition of the
+Privy Council: the city authorities were required to take instant and
+arbitrary measures for putting an end to the consumption of venison and
+to the practice of deer-stealing, by means of which houses &c. of public
+resort in London were furnished with that favourite viand. The letter of
+the lord mayor was a speedy reply to a communication from the queen's
+ministers on the subject:--
+
+    "Right honorable, where yesterday I receaved letters from her Ma'tes
+    most honorable privie councill, advertisinge me that her highnes was
+    enformed that Venison ys as ordinarilie sould by the Cookes of
+    London as other flesh, to the greate distruction of the game.
+    Commaundinge me thereby to take severall bondes of xl'li the peece
+    of all the Cookes in London not to buye or sell any venison
+    hereafter, uppon payne of forfayture of the same bondes; neyther to
+    receave any venison to bake without keepinge a note of theire names
+    that shall deliver the same unto them. Whereupon presentlie I called
+    the Wardens of the Cookes before me, advertisinge them hereof,
+    requiringe them to cause their whole company to appeare before me,
+    to thende I might take bondes accordinge to a condition hereinclosed
+    sent to your Ho.; whoe answered that touchinge the first clause
+    thereof they were well pleased therewith, but for the latter clause
+    they thought yt a greate inconvenience to their companie, and
+    therefore required they might be permitted to make theire answeres,
+    and alledge theire reasons therof before theire honors. Affirmed
+    alsoe, that the Tablinge howses and Tavernes are greater receyvors
+    and destroyers of stollen venison than all the rest of the Cittie:
+    whereupon they craved that eyther they maye be likewise bounden, or
+    else authoritie may be geven to the Cookes to searche for the same
+    hereafter. I have therefore taken bondes of the wardens for their
+    speedy appearance before theire honors to answere the same; and I am
+    bolde to pray your Ho. to impart the same unto their Ho., and that I
+    maye with speede receyve theire future direction herein. And soe I
+    humbly take my leave. London, the xj'th of June, 1585.
+
+    "Your honors to commaunde,
+
+    "THOMAS PULLYSON, maior."
+
+I dare say that the registers of the Privy Council contain some record
+of what was done on the occasion, and would enable us to decide whether
+the very reasonable request of the Cooks of London had been complied
+with. Whether this be or be not so, the above document establishes
+beyond question that in the summer of 1585 cooks'-shops, tabling-houses
+(i.e. ordinaries), and taverns, were abundantly supplied with stolen
+venison, and that the offence of stealing must have been very common.

+"PRAY REMEMBER THE GROTTO!" ON ST. JAMES' DAY.
+
+When the great popularity which the legends of the Saints formerly
+enjoyed is considered it becomes matter of surprise that they should not
+have been more frequently consulted for illustrations of our folk-lore
+and popular observances. The Edinburgh Reviewer of Mrs. Jameson's
+_Sacred and Legendary Art_ has, with great judgement, extracted from
+that work a legend, in which, as he shows very clearly[A], we have the
+real, although hitherto unnoticed, origin of the Three Balls which still
+form the recognised sign of a Pawnbroker. The passage is so curious,
+that it should be transferred entire to the "NOTES AND QUERIES."
+
+  [A] Edinburgh Review, vol. lxxxix. p.400.
+
+    "None of the many diligent investigators of our popular antiquities
+    have yet traced home the three golden balls of our pawnbrokers to
+    the emblem of St. Nicholas. They have been properly enough referred
+    to the Lombard merchants, who were the first to open loan-shops in
+    England for the relief of temporary distress. But the Lombards had
+    merely assumed an emblem which had been appropriated to St.
+    Nicholas, as their charitable predecessor in that very line of
+    business. The following is the legend: and it is too prettily told
+    to be omitted:--
+
+    "'Now in that city (Panthera) there dwelt a certain nobleman, who
+    had three daughters, and, from being rich, he became poor; so poor
+    that there remained no means of obtaining food for his daughters but
+    by sacrificing them to an infamous life; and oftentimes it came into
+    his mind to tell them so, but shame and sorrow held him dumb.
+    Meanwhile the maidens wept continually, not knowing what to do, and
+    not having bread to eat; and their father became more and more
+    desperate. When Nicholas heard of this, he thought it shame that
+    such a thing should happen in a Christian land; therefore one night,
+    when the maidens were asleep, and their father alone sat watching
+    and weeping, he took a handful of gold, and, tying it up in a
+    handkerchief, he repaired to the dwelling of the poor man. He
+    considered how he might bestow it without making himself known; and,
+    while he stood irresolute, the moon coming from behind a cloud
+    showed him a window open; so he threw it in, and it fell at the feet
+    of the father, who, when he found it, returned thanks, and with it
+    he portioned his eldest daughter. A second time Nicholas provided a
+    similar sum, and again he threw it in by night; and with it the
+    nobleman married his second daughter. But he greatly desired to know
+    who it was that came to his aid; therefore he determined to watch:
+    and when the good Saint came for the third time, and prepared to
+    throw in the third portion, he was discovered, for the nobleman
+    seized him by the skirt of his robe, and flung himself at his feet,
+    saying, "O Nicholas! servant of God! why seek to hid thyself?" and
+    he kissed his feet and his hands. But Nicholas made him promise that
+    he would tell no man. And many other charitable works did Nicholas
+    perform in his native city.'
+
+    "These three purses of gold, or, as they are more customarily
+    figured, these three golden balls, disposed in exact pawnbroker
+    fashion, are to this day the recognised special emblem of the
+    charitable St. Nicholas."
+
+And now for the more immediate object of the present Note, which is to
+show--what, when once pointed out, will, I think, readily be admitted,
+namely, that in the grotto formed of oyster shells, and lighted with a
+votive candle, to which on old St. James's day (5th August) the passer
+by is earnestly entreated to contribute by cries of, "Pray remember the
+Grotto!" we have a memorial of the world-renowned shrine of St. James at
+Compostella.
+
+The popularity which St. James formerly enjoyed in England, and the zeal
+with which his shrine was visited by natives of this country, have
+recently been so clearly shown by Mr. J.G. Nichols, in his interesting
+little volume, _Pilgrimages to St. Mary of Walsingham and St. Thomas of
+Canterbury_, that I need not here insist upon these points.
+
+What the original object of making these grottoes may have been I can
+only suggest: but I shall not be surprised if it should turn out that
+they were formerly erected on the anniversary of St. James by poor
+persons, as an invitation to the pious who could not visit
+Compostella, to show their reverence for the Saint by almsgiving to
+their needy brethren.
+
+Oysters are only allowed to be sold in London (which city, by the by,

+NOTE OF A MS. VOLUME OF CHRONICLES AT REIGATE.
+
+Amongst the objects of the useful medium of literary communication
+afforded by the publication of "NOTES AND QUERIES," one appears to be a
+record of the casual notice of "some book or some edition, hitherto
+unknown or imperfectly described." I am induced therefore to inquire,
+whether the existence of an ancient MS. volume of Chronicles, which I
+have recently noticed in the little library adjoining Reigate Church, is
+already known to those who investigate out monastic annals? This volume
+may probably not have escaped their research, especially since the
+republication and extension of Wharton's Collection, have been recently
+proposed. A chronological series of chronicles relativing to the see of
+Canterbury was announced amongst the projected publications of the
+"Anglia Christiana Society."
+
+The Reigate library, of which brief mention is made in Manning's and
+Bray's _History of Surrey_ (vol. i. p. 314.) without any notice of its
+contents, is preserved in the upper chamber of a building on the north
+side of the chancel, erected in 1513, and designated as a "vestibulum"
+in a contemporary inscription. The collection is small, and amoungst the
+most interesting volumes is a small folio, in the original oaken boards
+covered with white leather, presented to the library, 7. June, 1701, by
+William Jordan, of Gatwick, in the adjacent parish of Charlwood,
+probably the same person who was member for the borough of Reigate in
+1717. Of previous possessors of the book nothing is recorded. It
+comprises several concise chronicles, which may be thus described:--
+
+1. "Cathologus Romanorum Pontificum:"--imperfect, commencing with fol.
+11; some leaves also lost at the end. It closes with the year 1359, in
+the times of Innocent VI.
+
+2. "De Imperatoribus Romanis:"--from Julius Caesar to the election and
+coronation of Charles IV. after the death of the emperor Lewis of
+Bavaria, and the battle of Cressy, in 1347.
+
+3. "Compilacio Cronicorum de diversis Archiepiscopis ecclesie
+Cantuariensis:"--the chronicle of Stephen Birchington, a monk of
+Canterbury, printed by Wharton, from a MS. in the Lambeth collection.
+The text varies in many particulars, which may be of minor moment, but
+deserve collation. The writing varies towards the close, as if the
+annals had been continued at intervals; and they close with the
+succession of Archibishop William de Witleseye, in 1368, as in the text
+printed by Wharton (_Anglia Sacra_, vol. i. pp. 1-48.).
+
+4. "De principio mundi, et etatibus ejusdem.--De insulis et civitatibus
+Anglie:"--forming a sort of brief preface to the following--"Hic incipit
+Bruto de gestis Anglorum." The narrative begins with a tale of a certain
+giant king of Greece, in the year 3009, who had thirty daughters: the
+eldest, Albina, gave her name to Albion. The history is continued to the
+accession of William Rufus.
+
+5. "Incipit Cronica de adquisicione Regni Anglie per Willelmum Ducem
+Normannorum," &c. closing in 1364, with the birth of Edward of
+Engolesme, eldest son of the Black Prince. Wharton speaks of "Historiae
+de regibus Anglorum, de Pontificibus Romanis, et de Imperatoribus
+Romanis," as found together with the chronicle of the archibishops of
+Canterbury; both in the Lambeth MS. and in another formerly in the
+possession of William Reede, Bishop of Chichester: and he was inclined
+to attribute the whole to the pen of Birchington.
+
+6. "Gesta Scotorum contra Anglicos:"--commencing in 1066, with the times
+of Malcolm, king of Scotland, and ending in 1346, with the capture of
+David II., and the calamitous defeat of the Scots near Durham.
+
+At the commencement of the volume are found some miscellaneous writings
+of less interesting character. I noticed, however, an entry relating to
+the foundation of a chapel at "Ocolte," now written Knockholt, in Kent,
+by Ralph Scot, who had erected a mansion remote from the parish church,
+and obtained license for the consecration of the chapel in the year
+1281, in the time of Archbishop Kilwareby.
+
+The writing of the MS. appears to be of the latter half of the
+fourteenth century. Possibly there may be reader of these "NOTES AND
+QUERIES," more familiar with such inquiries than myself, who may have
+examined other contemporary MSS. of the compilations of Stephen
+Birchington. I shall be thankful for any information regarding them, and
+especially as regards the existence of any transcript of the Canterbury
+Annals, extended beyond the year 1368, with which this copy as well as
+that used by Wharton closes; whilst he supposes that in the chronicle as
+cited by Jocelin, chaplain to Matthew Parker, they had been carried as
+far as the year 1382.

+
+THE MORNING CHRONICLE, ETC.--WHEN FIRST ESTABLISHED.
+
+It is read in the _Newspaper Directory_ that _The Morning Chronicle_ was
+established in 1770, _The Morning Herald_ in 1781, _The Times_, 1st
+January, 1788. I believe that not one of these dates is correct, and
+that of _The Morning Herald_ to be wrong by fifteen years or more. Can
+you, or any of the readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES," give me the exact
+dates, or tell me where I can find the earlier volumes; say, the first
+ten, or either or all?

+
+VALUE OF A REPOSITORY FOR "NOTES."--NEW EDITION OF HERBERT'S "AMES."
+
+    [The suggestions in the following Paper are so extremely valuable,
+    that we are not only pleased to give it insertion, but hope that our
+    readers will take advantage of our columns to carry out Dr.
+    Maitland's recommendations.]
+
+Sir,--My attention has been particularly engaged by one suggestion in
+your Prospectus, because it seems to hold out a hope that your intended
+work will furnish what has long been a _desideratum_ in literature. We
+really do want something that may form a "supplement to works already in
+existence--a treasury for enriching future editions of them;" while it
+may also receive (as I have no doubt you meant to include,) such
+contributions of moderate extent, as may tend to render fuller and more
+correct some works which have little or no chance of future editions. In
+this way you may be of great use in every department of literature; and
+especially in works of reference. With them, indeed, correctness is
+everything; perfect accuracy is not to be attained, and the nearest
+possible approximation to it can be made only by many little careful
+steps, backwards as well as forwards.
+
+By works of reference, however, I do not mean Dictionaries, though I
+would include them, as a class of works for which I have a singular
+respect, and to which my remark particularly applies. There are many
+other books, and some which very properly aspire to the tile of History,
+which are, in fact and practically, books of reference, and of little
+value if they have not the completeness and accuracy which should
+characterise that class of works. Now it frequently happens to people
+whose reading is at all discursive, that they incidentally fall upon
+small matters of correction or criticism, which are of little value to
+themselves, but would be very useful to those who are otherwise engaged,
+if they knew of their existence.
+
+I might perhaps illustrate this matter by referring to various works;
+but it happens to be more in my way to mention Herbert's edition of
+Ames's _Typographical Antiquities_. It may be hoped that some day or
+other, the valuable matter of which it consists will be reduced to a
+better form and method; for it seems hardly too much to say, that he
+appears to have adopted the very worst that could have been selected. I
+need not tell you that I have no idea of undertaking such a thing, and I
+really have no suspicion (I wish I had) that anybody else is thinking of
+doing it:--or, in other words, I am not attempting to make use of your
+columns by insinuating a preparatory puff for a work in progress, or
+even in contemplation. I only mention the book as one of a class which
+may be essentially benefited by your offering a receptacle for
+illustrations, additions, and corrections, such as individually, or in
+small collections, are of little or no value, and are frequently almost
+in the very opposite condition to those things which are of no value to
+any body but the owner. For instance, when I was in the habit of seeing
+many of the books noted by Herbert, and had his volumes lying beside me,
+I made hundreds, perhaps thousands, of petty corrections, and many from
+books which he had not had an opportunity of seeing, and of which he
+could only reprint incorrect descriptions. All of these, though trifling
+in themselves, are things which should be noticed in case of a reprint;
+but how much time and trouble would it cost an editor to find and
+collate the necessary books? That, to be sure, is his business; but the
+question for the public is, _Would_ it be done at all? and could it in
+such cases be done so well in any other way, as by appointing some place
+of rendezvous for the casual and incidental materials for improvement
+which may fall in the way of readers pursuing different lines of
+inquiry, and rewarded, as men in pursuit of truth always are, whatever
+may be their success as to their _immediate_ object, by finding more
+than they are looking for--things, too, which when they get into their
+right places, show that they were worth finding--and, perhaps, unknown
+to those more conversant with the subject to which they belong, just
+because they were in the out-of-the-way place where they were found by
+somebody who was looking for something else.

+BIBLIOGRAPHIC PROJECT.
+
+Of the various sections into which the history of English literature is
+divisible, there is no one in which the absence of collective materials
+is more seriously felt--no one in which we are more in need of authentic
+_notes_, or which is more apt to raise perplexing _queries_--than that
+which relates to the authorship of anonymous and pseudonymous works.
+
+The importance of the inquiry is not inferior to the ardour with which
+it has sometimes been pursued, or the curiosity which it has excited. On
+all questions of testimony, whether historical or scientific, it is a
+consideration of the position and character of the writer which chiefly
+enables us to decide on the credibility of his statements, to account
+for the bias of his opinions, and to estimate his entire evidence at its
+just value. The remark also applies, in a qualified sense, to
+productions of an imaginative nature.
+
+On the number of the works of this class, I can only hazard a
+conjecture. In French literature, it amounts to about one-third part of
+the whole mass. In English literature, it cannot be less than one-sixth
+part--perhaps more. Be it as it may, the SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT of all
+that has been revealed in that way, and of all that is dicoverable, is
+essential to the perfection of literary history, of literary biography,
+and of bibliography.
+
+At the present moment, I can only announce the project as a stimulus to
+unemployed aspirants, and as a hint to fortunate collectors, to prepare
+for an exhibition of their cryptic treasures.--On a future occasion I
+shall describe the plan of construction which seems more eligible--shall
+briefly notice the scattered materials which it may be expedient to
+consult, whether in public depositories, or in private hands--and shall
+make an appeal to those whose assistance may be required, to enable a
+competent editor to carry out the plan with credit and success.
+
+On the prevalence of anonymous writing, on its occasional convenience,
+and on its pernicious consequences, I shall make no remarks. Facts,
+rather than arguments, should be the staple commodity of an instructive
+miscellany.

+NOTES FROM FLY-LEAVES.--NO. 1.

+    "This extraordinary man flourished in the reign of Henry II., and

+    not founded till the reign of Henry III. Having had the best
+    education of the time, and being not only a genius, but intimate
+    with the most eminent men, in particular with Pope Hadrian (who was
+    himself an Englishman), he became at length a bishop, and died in
+    1182. He had perused and studies most of the Latin classics, and

+LIBER SENTENTIARUM.--INQUISITION OF THOULOUSE.
+
+Mr. Editor,--In or about 1756, an ancient manuscript in folio, on
+vellum, was deposited in the British Museum by Dr. Secker, then Bishop
+of Oxford, afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury, and still, I take for
+granted, remains in that institution. It was intitled upon the cover,
+_Liber Sententiarum_; but contained the Acts and Decisions of the
+Inquisition of Thoulouse, from the year 1307 to 1323. It had been
+purchased by the contributions of the Archbishops of Canterbury and
+York, of the Bishop of Oxford himself, and of various other prelates,
+the lord Chancellor, the Speaker of the House of Commons of that time,
+the Viscount Royston, &c.
+
+Can any of your readers inform me whether any or what portions of this
+manuscript have been hitherto communicated to the world, either in the
+way of publication or translation, or of abridgment, in whole or in
+part? An analysis of this manuscript would be interesting to many
+readers of ecclesiastical history.

+POEM MENTIONED IN ONE OF THE LANSDOWNE MSS.
+
+In vol. 61. of the _Lansdowne MSS._ in the British Museum occurs the
+following remarkable letter from the Bishop of London (John Aylmer) to
+Lord Burghley. I wish to be informed to what "foolish rhime," which had
+been printed in Oxford and London, it applies? It is a question of some
+literary importance to me at the present moment, and I am glad to have
+the opportunity of putting it by means of your new hebdomadal
+undertaking. I hope to meet with a reply in your "NOTES AND QUERIES" of
+next week.
+
+    "_To the Lord Treasurer_,
+
+    "Yt may please your good L. to understand, that upon inquiry made
+    for the setting forth of this foolish rime, I finde that it was
+    first printed at Oxford, by Joseph Barnes, and after here by Toby
+    Cooke, without licence, who is now out of towne, but as sone as he
+    returneth, I will talke with him about it. I marvell that they of
+    Oxford will suffer such toyes to be sett forth by their authority;
+    for in my opinion it had been better to have thanked God, than to
+    have insulted upon men, and especially upon princes. And so I take
+    my leave of your good L., praying God to send you health to his
+    honour and all our good. From my pallace at London, this xxix'th of
+    Aprill 1589.
+
+    "Your good L. to command in X'o.,
+
+    "JOHN LOND."
+
+If the above refer to any production in verse upon the defeat of the
+Armada, Lord Burghley (who had probably made inquiries of the Bishop)
+seems to have been actuated by some extraordinary and uncalled-for
+delicacy towards the King of Spain. Waiting an explanation, I am your
+
+HEARTY WELL-WISHER.

+Lond. Oct. 23. 1849.

+I cannot find that Aylmer's letter has ever been noticed by any of our
+literary antiquaries.

+LORD CHATHAM'S SPEECH ON THE AMERICAN STAMP ACT.
+
+Mr. Editor,--The following is an extract from Lord Brougham's _Character
+of Chatham_, vol. i. p. 27.
+
+    "The Debates on the American Stamp Act in 1764 are the first that
+    can be said to have been preserved at all, through the happy
+    accident of Lord Charlemont, assisted by Sir Robert Dean, &c. &c.,
+    and accordingly _they have handed down to us some Notes of Lord
+    Chatham's celebrated Speech upon that Question_."

+Can any of your readers inform me where these "NOTES" of this
+"celebrated speech" are to be found?

+DORNE, THE BOOKSELLER.--HENNO RUSTICUS.
+
+Sir,--I gladly avail myself of the "NOTES AND QUERIES," to request
+information on the following points:--
+
+I. Is any thing known, and especially from the writings of Erasmus, of a
+bookseller and publisher of the Low Countries named Dorne, who lived at
+the beginning of the sixteenth century?
+
+II. Is any thing known of a little work of early date, called _Henno
+rusticus_?
+
+III. Or of another, called _Of the sige (signe?) of the end_?
+
+Trusting that some of your readers will be enabled to throw light upon
+one or other of these points,
+
+I remain, &c.

+NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS:
+
+The matter is so generally understood with regard to the management of
+periodical works, that it is hardly necessary for the Editor to say
+that HE CANNOT UNDERTAKE TO RETURN MANUSCRIPTS; but on one point he
+wishes to offer a few words of explanation to his correspondents in
+general, and particularly to those who do not enable him to communicate
+with them except in print. They will see, on a very little reflection,
+that it is plainly his interest to take all he can get, and make the
+most, and best, of everything; and therefore he begs them to take for
+granted that their communications are received and appreciated, even if
+the succeeding Number bears no proof of it. He is convinced that the
+want of specific acknowledgement will only be felt by those who have no
+idea of the labour and difficulty attendant on the hurried management of
+such a work, and of the impossibility of sometimes giving an
+explanation, when there really is one which would quite satisfy the
+writer, for the delay or non-insertion of his communication.
+Correspondents in such cases have no reason, and if they understood an
+editor's position they would feel that they have no right, to consider
+themselves undervalued; but nothing short of personal experience in
+editorship would explain to them the perplexities and evil consequences
+arising from an opposite course.

+AUBERY JUNIOR The coincidence is certainly curious. When the 3rd of
+November was fixed for the first appearance of "NOTES AND QUERIES," it
+was little thought that it was the anniversary of the birth of John
+Aubrey, the most noted Querist, if not the queerest _Noter_, of all
+English antiquaries. His "Mem. to ask Mr. ----" no doubt indirectly
+suggested our title.
+
+PHILOBIBLION is thanked for his suggestion, that we should "print lists
+of all the books printed by the Roxburgh, Abbotsford, Camden,
+Spottiswoode, and other publishing Clubs and Societies." His suggestion
+had, however, been anticipated: arrangements are making for giving not
+only the information suggested by PHILOBIBLION, but also particulars
+of the works issued by the different Continental publishing Societies,
+such as  _La Societe de L'Histoire de France_, _Der Literaische Verein in
+Stuttgart_, and the _Svenska Fornskrift-Saellskap_ of Stockholm, so that
+the English reader may be put into possession of facts connected with
+these Societies not to be found elsewhere.

+MANCHESTER (Box 720.) is thanked for his suggestion.

+ANTIQUARIAN GLEANINGS IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND: being examples of antique
+furniture, plate, church decoration, objects of historical interest, &c.
+Drawn and etched by W. B. SCOTT.
+
+    "A collection of antiquarian relics, chiefly in the decorative
+    branch of art, preserved in the Northern Counties, pourtrayed by a
+    very competent hand. Many of the objects possess considerable
+    interest; such as the chair of the Venerable Bede. Cromwell's sword
+    and watch, and the grace cup of Thomas-a-Becket. All are drawn with
+    that distinctness which makes them available for the Antiquarian,
+    for the Artist who is studying costumes, and for the study of
+    Decorative Art."--_Spectator_.

+
+MEMOIRS OF MUSICK. By the Hon. ROGER NORTH, Attourney-General to James
+I. Now first printed from the original MS. and edited, with copious
+notes, by EDWARD F. RIMBAULT, LL.D., F.S.A., &c. &c. Quarto; with a
+portrait; handsomely printed in 4to.; half-bound in Moroco, 15s.
+
+This interesting MS., so frequently alluded to by Dr. Burney in the
+course of his "History of Music," has been kindly placed at the disposal
+of the Council of the Musical Antiquarian Society, by George Townshend
+Smith, Esq., Organist of Hereford Cathedral. But the Council, not
+feeling authorised to commence a series of literary publications, yet
+impressed with the value of the work, have suggested its independent
+publication to their Secretary, Dr. Rimbault, under whose editorial care
+it accordingly appears.
+
+It abounds with interesting Musical Anecdotes; the Greek Fables
+respecting the origin of Music; the rise and progress of Musical
+Instruments; the early Musical Drama; the origin of our present
+fashionable Concerts; the first performance of the Beggar's Opera, &c.

+from every variety of these interesting and valuable memorials,
+accompanied with brief descriptive notices.
+
+Parts I. to XI. of this work are published: Part XII. will complete
+the volume.
+
+    "In the numbers of the attractive work now before us, the perfection
+    to which engraving on wood has been carried is strikingly shown. The
+    amount of information conveyed in moderate compass, and at a most
+    trifling cost, renders this collection of examples of costume, of
+    decorative design, and of heraldry, highly acceptable. The minute
+    and faithful exactness with which the smallest details are
+    reproduced is a most valuable quality in these portraitures: their
+    variety is striking: selected, in great part, from memorials hitherto
+    unknown or imperfectly engraved, each number of M. Boutell's
+    collection might form the text of a monograph on mediaeval costume
+    in its three great divisions.--Military, Ecclesiastical, and
+    Secular."--_Archaeological Journal_, vol. vi. p. 91.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

+NOTES AND QUERIES.
+
+The nature and design of the present work have been so fully stated in
+the Prospectus, and are indeed so far explained by its very Title, that
+it is unnecessary to occupy any great portion of its first number with
+details on the subject. We are under no temptation to fill its columns
+with an account of what we hope future numbers will be. Indeed, we would
+rather give a specimen than a description; and only regret that, from
+the wide range of subjects which it is intended to embrace, and the
+correspondence and contributions of various kinds which we are led to
+expect, even this can only be done gradually. A few words of
+introduction and explanation may, however, be allowed; and indeed, ought
+to be prefixed, that we may be understood by those readers who have not
+seen our Prospectus.
+
+"WHEN FOUND, MAKE A NOTE OF," is a most admirable rule; and if the
+excellent Captain had never uttered another word, he might have passed
+for a profound philosopher. It is a rule which should shine in gilt
+letters on the gingerbread of youth, and the spectacle-case of age.
+Every man who reads with any view beyond mere pastime, knows the value
+of it. Every one, more or less, acts upon it. Every one regrets and
+suffers who neglects it. There is some trouble in it, to be sure; but in
+what good thing is there not? and what trouble does it save! Nay, what
+mischief! Half the lies that are current in the world owe their origin
+to a misplaced confidence in memory, rather than to intentional
+falsehood. We have never known more than one man who could deliberately
+and conscientiously say that his memory had _never_ deceived him; and he
+(when he saw that he had excited the surprise of his hearers, especially
+those who knew how many years he had spent in the management of
+important commercial affairs) used to add,--because he had never trusted
+it; but had uniformly written down what he was anxious to remember.
+
+But, on the other hand, it cannot be denied that reading and writing
+men, of moderate industry, who act on this rule for any considerable
+length of time, will accumulate a good deal of matter in various forms,
+shapes, and sizes--some more, some less legible and intelligible--some
+unposted in old pocket books--some on whole or half sheets, or mere
+scraps of paper, and backs of letters--some lost sight of and forgotten,
+stuffing out old portfolios, or getting smoky edges in bundles tied up
+with faded tape. There are, we are quite sure, countless boxes and
+drawers, and pigeon-holes of such things, which want looking over, and
+would well repay the trouble.
+
+Nay, we are sure that the proprietors would find themselves much
+benefited even if we were to do nothing more than to induce them to look
+over their own collections. How much good might we have done (as well as
+got, for we do not pretend to speak quite disinterestedly), if we had
+had the looking over and methodizing of the chaos in which Mr. Oldbuck
+found himself just at the moment, so agonizing to an author, when he
+knows that the patience of his victim is oozing away, and fears it will
+be quite gone before he can lay his hand on the charm which is to fix
+him a hopeless listener:--"So saying, the Antiquary opened a drawer, and
+began rummaging among a quantity of miscellaneous papers ancient and
+modern. But it was the misfortune of this learned gentleman, as it may
+be that of many learned and unlearned, that he frequently experienced on
+such occasions, what Harlequin calls "_l'embarras des richesses_"--in
+other words, the abundance of his collection often prevented him from
+finding the article he sought for." We need not add that this
+unsuccessful search for Professor Mac Cribb's epistle, and the scroll of
+the Antiquary's answer, was the unfortunate turning-point on which the
+very existence of the documents depended, and that from that day to this
+nobody has seen them, or known where to look for them.
+
+But we hope for more extensive and important benefits than these, from
+furnishing a medium by which much valuable information may become a sort
+of common property among those who can appreciate and use it. We do not
+anticipate any holding back by those whose "NOTES" are most worth
+having, or any want of "QUERIES" from those best able to answer them.
+Whatever may be the case in other things, it is certain that those who
+are best informed are generally the most ready to communicate knowledge
+and to confess ignorance, to feel the value of such a work as we are
+attempting, and to understand that if it is to be well done they must
+help to do it. Some cheap and frequent means for the interchange of
+thought is certainly wanted by those who are engaged in literature, art,
+and science, and we only hope to persuade the best men in all, that we
+offer them the best medium of communication with each other.
+
+By this time, we hope, our readers are prepared to admit that our title
+(always one of the most difficult points of a book to settle), has not
+been imprudently or unwisely adopted. We wish to bring together the
+ideas and the wants, not merely of men engaged in the same lines of
+action or inquiry, but also (and very particularly) of those who are
+going different ways, and only meet at the crossings, where a helping
+hand is oftenest needed, and they would be happy to give one if they
+knew it was wanted. In this way we desire that our little book should
+take "NOTES," and be a medley of all that men are doing--that the Notes
+of the writer and the reader, whatever be the subject-matter of his
+studies, of the antiquary, and the artist, the man of science, the
+historian, the herald, and the genealogist, in short, Notes relating to
+all subjects but such as are, in popular discourse, termed either
+political or polemical, should meet in our columns in such
+juxta-position, as to give fair play to any natural attraction or
+repulsion between them, and so that if there are any hooks and eyes
+among them, they may catch each other.
+
+Now, with all modesty, we submit, that for the title of such a work as
+we have in view, and have endeavoured to describe, no word could be so
+proper as "NOTES." Can any man, in his wildest dream of imagination,
+conceive of any thing that may not be--nay, that has not been--treated
+of in a _note?_ Thousands of things there are, no doubt, which cannot be
+sublimed into poetry, or elevated into history, or treated of with
+dignity, in a stilted text of any kind, and which are, as it is called,
+"thrown" into notes; but, after all, they are much like children sent
+out of the stiff drawing-room into the nursery, snubbed to be sure by
+the act, but joyful in the freedom of banishment. We were going to say
+(but it might sound vainglorious), where do things read so well as in
+notes? but we will put the question in another form:--Where do you so
+well test an author's learning and knowledge of his subject?--where do
+you find the pith of his most elaborate researches?--where do his most
+original suggestions escape?--where do you meet with the details that
+fix your attention at the time and cling to your memory for ever?--where
+do both writer and reader luxuriate so much at their case, and feel that
+they are wisely discursive?--But if we pursue this idea, it will be
+scarcely possible to avoid something which might look like self-praise;
+and we content ourselves for the present with expressing our humble
+conviction that we are doing a service to writers and readers, by
+calling forth materials which they have themselves thought worth notice,
+but which, for want of elaboration, and the "little leisure" that has
+not yet come, are lying, and may lie for ever, unnoticed by others, and
+presenting them in an unadorned _multum-in-parvo_ form. To our readers
+therefore who are seeking for Truth, we repeat "When found make a NOTE
+of!" and we must add, "till then make a QUERY."

+
+PLACE OF CAPTURE OF THE DUKE OF MONMOUTH.
+
+20th October, 1849.
+
+Mr. Editor,--Mr. Macaulay's account of the Battle of Sedgemoor is
+rendered singularly picturesque and understandable by the personal
+observation and local tradition which he has brought to bear upon it.
+Might not his account of the capture of Monmouth derive some few
+additional life-giving touches, from the same invaluable sources of
+information. It is extremely interesting, as every thing adorned by Mr.
+Macaulay's luminous style must necessarily be, but it lacks a little of
+that bright and living reality, which, in the account of Sedgemoor, and
+in many other parts of the book, are imparted by minute particularity
+and precise local knowledge. It runs as follows:--
+
+    "On Cranbourne Chase the strength of the horses failed. They were
+    therefore turned loose. The bridles and saddles were concealed.
+    Monmouth and his friends disguised themselves as country-men, and
+    proceeded on foot towards the New Forest. They passed the night in
+    the open air: but before morning they were surrounded on every
+    side.... At five in the morning of the seventh, Grey was seized by
+    two of Lumley's scouts.... It could hardly be doubted that the chief
+    rebel was not far off. The pursuers redoubled their vigilance and
+    activity. The cottages scattered over the healthy country on the
+    boundaries of Dorsetshire and Hampshire were strictly examined by
+    Lumley; and the clown with whom Monmouth had changed clothes was
+    discovered. Portman came with a strong body of horse and foot to
+    assist in the search. Attention was soon drawn to a place well
+    suited to shelter fugitives. It was an extensive tract of land
+    separated by an inclosure from the open country, and divided by
+    numerous hedges into small fields. In some of these fields the rye,
+    the pease, and the oats were high enough to conceal a man. Others
+    were overgrown by fern and brambles. A poor woman reported that she
+    had seen two strangers lurking in this covert. The near prospect of
+    reward animated the zeal of the troops.... The outer fence was
+    strictly guarded: the space within was examined with indefatigable
+    diligence; and several dogs of quick scent were turned out among the
+    bushes. The day closed before the search could be completed: but
+    careful watch was kept all night. Thirty times the fugitives
+    ventured to look through the outer hedge: but everywhere they found
+    a sentinel on the alert: once they were seen and fired at: they then
+    separated and concealed themselves in different hiding places.
+
+    "At sunrise the next morning the search recommenced, and Buyse was
+    found. He owned that he had parted from the Duke only a few hours
+    before. The corn and copsewood were now beaten with more care than
+    ever. At length a gaunt figure was discovered hidden in a ditch. The
+    pursuers sprang on their prey. Some of them were about to fire; but
+    Portman forbade all violence. The prisoner's dress was that of a
+    shepherd; his beard, prematurely grey, was of several days' growth.
+    He trembled greatly, and was unable to speak. Even those who had
+    often seen him were at first in doubt whether this were the
+    brilliant and graceful Monmouth. His pockets were searched by
+    Portman, and in them were found, among some raw pease gathered in
+    the rage of hunger, a watch, a purse of gold, a small treatise on
+    fortification, an album filled with songs, receipts, prayers, and
+    charms, and the George with which, many years before, King Charles
+    the Second had decorated his favourite son."--_Hist. Eng._, i. pp.
+    616-618. 2nd edition.
+
+Now, this is all extremely admirable. It is a brilliant description of
+an important historical incident. But on what precise spot did it take
+place? One would like to endeavour to realise such an event at the very
+place where it occurred, and the historian should enable us to do so. I
+believe the spot is very well known, and that the traditions of the
+neighbourhood upon the subject are still vivid. It was near Woodyate's
+Inn, a well-known roadside inn, a few miles from Salisbury, on the road
+to Blandford, that the Duke and his companions turned adrift their
+horses. From thence they crossed the country in almost a due southerly
+direction. The tract of land in which the Duke took refuge is rightly
+described by Mr. Macaulay, as "separated by an inclosure from the open
+country." Its nature is no less clearly indicated by its local name of
+"The Island." The open down which surrounds it is called Shag's Heath.
+The Island is described as being about a mile and a half from Woodlands,
+and in the parish of Horton, in Dorsetshire. The field in which the Duke
+concealed himself is still called "Monmouth Close." It is at the
+north-eastern extremity of the Island. An ash-tree at the foot of which
+the would-be-king was found crouching in a ditch and half hid under the
+fern, was standing a few years ago, and was deeply indented with the
+carved initials of crowds of persons who has been to visit it. Mr.
+Macaulay has mentioned that the fields were covered--it was the eighth
+of July--with standing crops of rye, pease, and oats. In one of them, a
+field of pease, tradition tells us that the Duke dropped a gold
+snuff-box. It was picked up some time afterwards by a labourer, who
+carried it to Mrs. Uvedale of Horton, probably the proprietress of the
+field, and received in reward fifteen pounds, which was said to be half
+its value. On his capture, the Duke was first taken to the house of
+Anthony Etterick, Esq., a magistrate who resided at Holt, which adjoins
+Horton. Tradition, which records the popular feeling rather than the
+fact, reports, that the poor woman who informed the pursuers that she
+had seen two strangers lurking in the Island--her name was Amy
+Farrant--never prospered afterwards; and that Henry Parkin, the soldier,
+who, spying the skirt of the smock-frock which the Duke had assumed as a
+disguise, recalled the searching party just as they were leaving the
+Island, burst into tears and reproached himself bitterly for his fatal
+discovery.
+
+It is a defect in the Ordnance Survey, that neither the Island nor
+Monmouth Close is indicated upon it by name.
+
+I know not, Mr. Editor, whether these particulars are of the kind which
+you design to print as "NOTES." If they are so, and you give them place
+in your miscellany, be good enough to add a "QUERY" addressed to your
+Dorsetshire correspondents, as to whether the ash-tree is now standing,
+and what is the actual condition of the spot at the present time. The
+facts I have stated are partly derived from the book known as _Addison's
+Anecdotes_, vol. iv., p. 12. 1794, 8vo. They have been used, more or
+less, by the late Rev. P. Hall, in his _Account of Ringwood_, and by Mr.
+Roberts, in his _Life of Monmouth_.
+
+With the best of good wishes for the success of your most useful
+periodical,
+
+Believe me, Mr. Editor,

+Yours very truly,

+SHAKESPEARE AND DEER-STEALING.
+
+In "The Life of Shakespeare," prefixed to the edition of his Works I saw
+through the press three of four years ago, I necessarily entered into
+the deer-stealing question, admitting that I could not, as some had
+done, "entirely discredit the story," and following it up by proof (in
+opposition to the assertion of Malone), that Sir Thomas Lucy had deer,
+which Shakespeare might have been concerned in stealing. I also, in the
+same place (vol. i. p. xcv.), showed, from several authorities, how
+common and how venial offence it was considered in the middle of the
+reign of Elizabeth. Looking over some MSS. of that time, a few weeks
+since, I met with a very singular and confirmatory piece of evidence,
+establishing that in the year 1585, the precise period when our great
+dramatist is supposed to have made free with the deer of the knight of
+Charlcote, nearly all the cooks'-shops and ordinaries of London were
+supplied with stolen venison. The following letter from the lord mayor
+(which I copy from the original) of that day, Thomas Pullyson, to
+secretary Walsingham, speaks for itself, and shows that the matter has
+been deemed of so much important as to call for the interposition of the
+Privy Council: the city authorities were required to take instant and
+arbitrary measures for putting an end to the consumption of venison and
+to the practice of deer-stealing, by means of which houses &c. of public
+resort in London were furnished with that favourite viand. The letter of
+the lord mayor was a speedy reply to a communication from the queen's
+ministers on the subject:--
+
+    "Right honorable, where yesterday I receaved letters from her Ma'tes
+    most honorable privie councill, advertisinge me that her highnes was
+    enformed that Venison ys as ordinarilie sould by the Cookes of
+    London as other flesh, to the greate distruction of the game.
+    Commaundinge me thereby to take severall bondes of xl'li the peece
+    of all the Cookes in London not to buye or sell any venison
+    hereafter, uppon payne of forfayture of the same bondes; neyther to
+    receave any venison to bake without keepinge a note of theire names
+    that shall deliver the same unto them. Whereupon presentlie I called
+    the Wardens of the Cookes before me, advertisinge them hereof,
+    requiringe them to cause their whole company to appeare before me,
+    to thende I might take bondes accordinge to a condition hereinclosed
+    sent to your Ho.; whoe answered that touchinge the first clause
+    thereof they were well pleased therewith, but for the latter clause
+    they thought yt a greate inconvenience to their companie, and
+    therefore required they might be permitted to make theire answeres,
+    and alledge theire reasons therof before theire honors. Affirmed
+    alsoe, that the Tablinge howses and Tavernes are greater receyvors
+    and destroyers of stollen venison than all the rest of the Cittie:
+    whereupon they craved that eyther they maye be likewise bounden, or
+    else authoritie may be geven to the Cookes to searche for the same
+    hereafter. I have therefore taken bondes of the wardens for their
+    speedy appearance before theire honors to answere the same; and I am
+    bolde to pray your Ho. to impart the same unto their Ho., and that I
+    maye with speede receyve theire future direction herein. And soe I
+    humbly take my leave. London, the xj'th of June, 1585.

+
+I dare say that the registers of the Privy Council contain some record
+of what was done on the occasion, and would enable us to decide whether
+the very reasonable request of the Cooks of London had been complied
+with. Whether this be or be not so, the above document establishes
+beyond question that in the summer of 1585 cooks'-shops, tabling-houses
+(i.e. ordinaries), and taverns, were abundantly supplied with stolen
+venison, and that the offence of stealing must have been very common.

+"PRAY REMEMBER THE GROTTO!" ON ST. JAMES' DAY.
+
+When the great popularity which the legends of the Saints formerly
+enjoyed is considered it becomes matter of surprise that they should not
+have been more frequently consulted for illustrations of our folk-lore
+and popular observances. The Edinburgh Reviewer of Mrs. Jameson's
+_Sacred and Legendary Art_ has, with great judgement, extracted from
+that work a legend, in which, as he shows very clearly[A], we have the
+real, although hitherto unnoticed, origin of the Three Balls which still
+form the recognised sign of a Pawnbroker. The passage is so curious,
+that it should be transferred entire to the "NOTES AND QUERIES."
+
+  [A] Edinburgh Review, vol. lxxxix. p.400.
+
+    "None of the many diligent investigators of our popular antiquities
+    have yet traced home the three golden balls of our pawnbrokers to
+    the emblem of St. Nicholas. They have been properly enough referred
+    to the Lombard merchants, who were the first to open loan-shops in
+    England for the relief of temporary distress. But the Lombards had
+    merely assumed an emblem which had been appropriated to St.
+    Nicholas, as their charitable predecessor in that very line of
+    business. The following is the legend: and it is too prettily told
+    to be omitted:--
+
+    "'Now in that city (Panthera) there dwelt a certain nobleman, who
+    had three daughters, and, from being rich, he became poor; so poor
+    that there remained no means of obtaining food for his daughters but
+    by sacrificing them to an infamous life; and oftentimes it came into
+    his mind to tell them so, but shame and sorrow held him dumb.
+    Meanwhile the maidens wept continually, not knowing what to do, and
+    not having bread to eat; and their father became more and more
+    desperate. When Nicholas heard of this, he thought it shame that
+    such a thing should happen in a Christian land; therefore one night,
+    when the maidens were asleep, and their father alone sat watching
+    and weeping, he took a handful of gold, and, tying it up in a
+    handkerchief, he repaired to the dwelling of the poor man. He
+    considered how he might bestow it without making himself known; and,
+    while he stood irresolute, the moon coming from behind a cloud
+    showed him a window open; so he threw it in, and it fell at the feet
+    of the father, who, when he found it, returned thanks, and with it
+    he portioned his eldest daughter. A second time Nicholas provided a
+    similar sum, and again he threw it in by night; and with it the
+    nobleman married his second daughter. But he greatly desired to know
+    who it was that came to his aid; therefore he determined to watch:
+    and when the good Saint came for the third time, and prepared to
+    throw in the third portion, he was discovered, for the nobleman
+    seized him by the skirt of his robe, and flung himself at his feet,
+    saying, "O Nicholas! servant of God! why seek to hid thyself?" and
+    he kissed his feet and his hands. But Nicholas made him promise that
+    he would tell no man. And many other charitable works did Nicholas
+    perform in his native city.'
+
+    "These three purses of gold, or, as they are more customarily
+    figured, these three golden balls, disposed in exact pawnbroker
+    fashion, are to this day the recognised special emblem of the
+    charitable St. Nicholas."
+
+And now for the more immediate object of the present Note, which is to
+show--what, when once pointed out, will, I think, readily be admitted,
+namely, that in the grotto formed of oyster shells, and lighted with a
+votive candle, to which on old St. James's day (5th August) the passer
+by is earnestly entreated to contribute by cries of, "Pray remember the
+Grotto!" we have a memorial of the world-renowned shrine of St. James at
+Compostella.
+
+The popularity which St. James formerly enjoyed in England, and the zeal
+with which his shrine was visited by natives of this country, have
+recently been so clearly shown by Mr. J.G. Nichols, in his interesting
+little volume, _Pilgrimages to St. Mary of Walsingham and St. Thomas of
+Canterbury_, that I need not here insist upon these points.
+
+What the original object of making these grottoes may have been I can
+only suggest: but I shall not be surprised if it should turn out that
+they were formerly erected on the anniversary of St. James by poor
+persons, as an invitation to the pious who could not visit
+Compostella, to show their reverence for the Saint by almsgiving to
+their needy brethren.
+
+Oysters are only allowed to be sold in London (which city, by the by,
+levied a tax of two pence on every person going and returning by the
+river Thames on pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James), after St.
+James's day. Why is this? I wish Mr. Wansey, who is an able antiquary,
+and one authorised to look into the records of Fishmongers' Company,
+would give us the information upon this point which these documents may
+be expected to furnish.

+
+P.S.--I should be glad if any of the readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES"
+could explain to that Erasmus alludes, when he says, "Culmeis ornatus
+torquibus, brachium habet ova serpentum," which L'Estrange translated,
+"Straw-works,--snakes, eggs for bracelets;" and Mr. Nichols, who
+honestly states that he is unable to explain the allusion, as he does
+not find such emblems elsewhere mentioned,--"adorned with straw
+necklaces and bracelets of serpents' eggs."

+NOTE OF A MS. VOLUME OF CHRONICLES AT REIGATE.
+
+Amongst the objects of the useful medium of literary communication
+afforded by the publication of "NOTES AND QUERIES," one appears to be a
+record of the casual notice of "some book or some edition, hitherto
+unknown or imperfectly described." I am induced therefore to inquire,
+whether the existence of an ancient MS. volume of Chronicles, which I
+have recently noticed in the little library adjoining Reigate Church, is
+already known to those who investigate out monastic annals? This volume
+may probably not have escaped their research, especially since the
+republication and extension of Wharton's Collection, have been recently
+proposed. A chronological series of chronicles relativing to the see of
+Canterbury was announced amongst the projected publications of the
+"Anglia Christiana Society."
+
+The Reigate library, of which brief mention is made in Manning's and
+Bray's _History of Surrey_ (vol. i. p. 314.) without any notice of its
+contents, is preserved in the upper chamber of a building on the north
+side of the chancel, erected in 1513, and designated as a "vestibulum"
+in a contemporary inscription. The collection is small, and amoungst the
+most interesting volumes is a small folio, in the original oaken boards
+covered with white leather, presented to the library, 7. June, 1701, by
+William Jordan, of Gatwick, in the adjacent parish of Charlwood,
+probably the same person who was member for the borough of Reigate in
+1717. Of previous possessors of the book nothing is recorded. It
+comprises several concise chronicles, which may be thus described:--
+
+1. "Cathologus Romanorum Pontificum:"--imperfect, commencing with fol.
+11; some leaves also lost at the end. It closes with the year 1359, in
+the times of Innocent VI.
+
+2. "De Imperatoribus Romanis:"--from Julius Cæsar to the election and
+coronation of Charles IV. after the death of the emperor Lewis of
+Bavaria, and the battle of Cressy, in 1347.
+
+3. "Compilacio Cronicorum de diversis Archiepiscopis ecclesie
+Cantuariensis:"--the chronicle of Stephen Birchington, a monk of
+Canterbury, printed by Wharton, from a MS. in the Lambeth collection.
+The text varies in many particulars, which may be of minor moment, but
+deserve collation. The writing varies towards the close, as if the
+annals had been continued at intervals; and they close with the
+succession of Archibishop William de Witleseye, in 1368, as in the text
+printed by Wharton (_Anglia Sacra_, vol. i. pp. 1-48.).
+
+4. "De principio mundi, et etatibus ejusdem.--De insulis et civitatibus
+Anglie:"--forming a sort of brief preface to the following--"Hic incipit
+Bruto de gestis Anglorum." The narrative begins with a tale of a certain
+giant king of Greece, in the year 3009, who had thirty daughters: the
+eldest, Albina, gave her name to Albion. The history is continued to the
+accession of William Rufus.
+
+5. "Incipit Cronica de adquisicione Regni Anglie per Willelmum Ducem
+Normannorum," &c. closing in 1364, with the birth of Edward of
+Engolesme, eldest son of the Black Prince. Wharton speaks of "Historiæ
+de regibus Anglorum, de Pontificibus Romanis, et de Imperatoribus
+Romanis," as found together with the chronicle of the archibishops of
+Canterbury; both in the Lambeth MS. and in another formerly in the
+possession of William Reede, Bishop of Chichester: and he was inclined
+to attribute the whole to the pen of Birchington.
+
+6. "Gesta Scotorum contra Anglicos:"--commencing in 1066, with the times
+of Malcolm, king of Scotland, and ending in 1346, with the capture of
+David II., and the calamitous defeat of the Scots near Durham.
+
+At the commencement of the volume are found some miscellaneous writings
+of less interesting character. I noticed, however, an entry relating to
+the foundation of a chapel at "Ocolte," now written Knockholt, in Kent,
+by Ralph Scot, who had erected a mansion remote from the parish church,
+and obtained license for the consecration of the chapel in the year
+1281, in the time of Archbishop Kilwareby.
+
+The writing of the MS. appears to be of the latter half of the
+fourteenth century. Possibly there may be reader of these "NOTES AND
+QUERIES," more familiar with such inquiries than myself, who may have
+examined other contemporary MSS. of the compilations of Stephen
+Birchington. I shall be thankful for any information regarding them, and
+especially as regards the existence of any transcript of the Canterbury
+Annals, extended beyond the year 1368, with which this copy as well as
+that used by Wharton closes; whilst he supposes that in the chronicle as
+cited by Jocelin, chaplain to Matthew Parker, they had been carried as
+far as the year 1382.

+THE MORNING CHRONICLE, ETC.--WHEN FIRST ESTABLISHED.
+
+It is read in the _Newspaper Directory_ that _The Morning Chronicle_ was
+established in 1770, _The Morning Herald_ in 1781, _The Times_, 1st
+January, 1788. I believe that not one of these dates is correct, and
+that of _The Morning Herald_ to be wrong by fifteen years or more. Can
+you, or any of the readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES," give me the exact
+dates, or tell me where I can find the earlier volumes; say, the first
+ten, or either or all?

+VALUE OF A REPOSITORY FOR "NOTES."--NEW EDITION OF HERBERT'S "AMES."
+
+    [The suggestions in the following Paper are so extremely valuable,
+    that we are not only pleased to give it insertion, but hope that our
+    readers will take advantage of our columns to carry out Dr.
+    Maitland's recommendations.]
+
+Sir,--My attention has been particularly engaged by one suggestion in
+your Prospectus, because it seems to hold out a hope that your intended
+work will furnish what has long been a _desideratum_ in literature. We
+really do want something that may form a "supplement to works already in
+existence--a treasury for enriching future editions of them;" while it
+may also receive (as I have no doubt you meant to include,) such
+contributions of moderate extent, as may tend to render fuller and more
+correct some works which have little or no chance of future editions. In
+this way you may be of great use in every department of literature; and
+especially in works of reference. With them, indeed, correctness is
+everything; perfect accuracy is not to be attained, and the nearest
+possible approximation to it can be made only by many little careful
+steps, backwards as well as forwards.
+
+By works of reference, however, I do not mean Dictionaries, though I
+would include them, as a class of works for which I have a singular
+respect, and to which my remark particularly applies. There are many
+other books, and some which very properly aspire to the tile of History,
+which are, in fact and practically, books of reference, and of little
+value if they have not the completeness and accuracy which should
+characterise that class of works. Now it frequently happens to people
+whose reading is at all discursive, that they incidentally fall upon
+small matters of correction or criticism, which are of little value to
+themselves, but would be very useful to those who are otherwise engaged,
+if they knew of their existence.
+
+I might perhaps illustrate this matter by referring to various works;
+but it happens to be more in my way to mention Herbert's edition of
+Ames's _Typographical Antiquities_. It may be hoped that some day or
+other, the valuable matter of which it consists will be reduced to a
+better form and method; for it seems hardly too much to say, that he
+appears to have adopted the very worst that could have been selected. I
+need not tell you that I have no idea of undertaking such a thing, and I
+really have no suspicion (I wish I had) that anybody else is thinking of
+doing it:--or, in other words, I am not attempting to make use of your
+columns by insinuating a preparatory puff for a work in progress, or
+even in contemplation. I only mention the book as one of a class which
+may be essentially benefited by your offering a receptacle for
+illustrations, additions, and corrections, such as individually, or in
+small collections, are of little or no value, and are frequently almost
+in the very opposite condition to those things which are of no value to
+any body but the owner. For instance, when I was in the habit of seeing
+many of the books noted by Herbert, and had his volumes lying beside me,
+I made hundreds, perhaps thousands, of petty corrections, and many from
+books which he had not had an opportunity of seeing, and of which he
+could only reprint incorrect descriptions. All of these, though trifling
+in themselves, are things which should be noticed in case of a reprint;
+but how much time and trouble would it cost an editor to find and
+collate the necessary books? That, to be sure, is his business; but the
+question for the public is, _Would_ it be done at all? and could it in
+such cases be done so well in any other way, as by appointing some place
+of rendezvous for the casual and incidental materials for improvement
+which may fall in the way of readers pursuing different lines of
+inquiry, and rewarded, as men in pursuit of truth always are, whatever
+may be their success as to their _immediate_ object, by finding more
+than they are looking for--things, too, which when they get into their
+right places, show that they were worth finding--and, perhaps, unknown
+to those more conversant with the subject to which they belong, just
+because they were in the out-of-the-way place where they were found by
+somebody who was looking for something else.

+BIBLIOGRAPHIC PROJECT.
+
+Of the various sections into which the history of English literature is
+divisible, there is no one in which the absence of collective materials
+is more seriously felt--no one in which we are more in need of authentic
+_notes_, or which is more apt to raise perplexing _queries_--than that
+which relates to the authorship of anonymous and pseudonymous works.
+
+The importance of the inquiry is not inferior to the ardour with which
+it has sometimes been pursued, or the curiosity which it has excited. On
+all questions of testimony, whether historical or scientific, it is a
+consideration of the position and character of the writer which chiefly
+enables us to decide on the credibility of his statements, to account
+for the bias of his opinions, and to estimate his entire evidence at its
+just value. The remark also applies, in a qualified sense, to
+productions of an imaginative nature.
+
+On the number of the works of this class, I can only hazard a
+conjecture. In French literature, it amounts to about one-third part of
+the whole mass. In English literature, it cannot be less than one-sixth
+part--perhaps more. Be it as it may, the SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT of all
+that has been revealed in that way, and of all that is dicoverable, is
+essential to the perfection of literary history, of literary biography,
+and of bibliography.
+
+At the present moment, I can only announce the project as a stimulus to
+unemployed aspirants, and as a hint to fortunate collectors, to prepare
+for an exhibition of their cryptic treasures.--On a future occasion I
+shall describe the plan of construction which seems more eligible--shall
+briefly notice the scattered materials which it may be expedient to
+consult, whether in public depositories, or in private hands--and shall
+make an appeal to those whose assistance may be required, to enable a
+competent editor to carry out the plan with credit and success.
+
+On the prevalence of anonymous writing, on its occasional convenience,
+and on its pernicious consequences, I shall make no remarks. Facts,
+rather than arguments, should be the staple commodity of an instructive
+miscellany.

+NOTES FROM FLY-LEAVES.--NO. 1.
+
+Many scholars and reading-men are in the habit of noting down on the

+learning to whom they formerly belonged, will render us and our readers
+a most acceptable service by forwarding to us copies of them for

+
+    "This extraordinary man flourished in the reign of Henry II., and
+    was, therefore, of Old Salisbury, not of New Salisbury, which was
+    not founded till the reign of Henry III. Having had the best
+    education of the time, and being not only a genius, but intimate
+    with the most eminent men, in particular with Pope Hadrian (who was
+    himself an Englishman), he became at length a bishop, and died in
+    1182. He had perused and studies most of the Latin classics, and
+    appears to have decorated every part of his work with splendid
+    fragments extracted out of them."--_Harris's Philosophical

+LIBER SENTENTIARUM.--INQUISITION OF THOULOUSE.
+
+Mr. Editor,--In or about 1756, an ancient manuscript in folio, on
+vellum, was deposited in the British Museum by Dr. Secker, then Bishop

+NEW FACTS ABOUT LADY ARABELLA STUART.

+the lordes of the kinges ma'ts Privie Councell, to receave and yssue

+unfortunate lady. The account includes all sums of money "receaved and

+Salisbury, Lord Highe Threas of Englande and S'r Julius Cæsar, Knighte,
+Chancellor and Under-Threas of Th'exchequer the xij'th of Ffebruary
+1611" [1611/12]. The extracts throw some fresh light on her movements on
+her road from London to Durham. At East Barnet, it is well known, she
+eluded the vigilance of her keepers, and threw the king and council into
+the utmost consternation.

+POEM MENTIONED IN ONE OF THE LANSDOWNE MSS.
+
+In vol. 61. of the _Lansdowne MSS._ in the British Museum occurs the
+following remarkable letter from the Bishop of London (John Aylmer) to
+Lord Burghley. I wish to be informed to what "foolish rhime," which had
+been printed in Oxford and London, it applies? It is a question of some
+literary importance to me at the present moment, and I am glad to have
+the opportunity of putting it by means of your new hebdomadal
+undertaking. I hope to meet with a reply in your "NOTES AND QUERIES" of
+next week.
+
+    "_To the Lord Treasurer_,
+
+    "Yt may please your good L. to understand, that upon inquiry made
+    for the setting forth of this foolish rime, I finde that it was
+    first printed at Oxford, by Joseph Barnes, and after here by Toby
+    Cooke, without licence, who is now out of towne, but as sone as he
+    returneth, I will talke with him about it. I marvell that they of
+    Oxford will suffer such toyes to be sett forth by their authority;
+    for in my opinion it had been better to have thanked God, than to
+    have insulted upon men, and especially upon princes. And so I take
+    my leave of your good L., praying God to send you health to his
+    honour and all our good. From my pallace at London, this xxix'th of
+    Aprill 1589.
+
+    "Your good L. to command in X'o.,
+
+    "JOHN LOND."
+
+If the above refer to any production in verse upon the defeat of the
+Armada, Lord Burghley (who had probably made inquiries of the Bishop)
+seems to have been actuated by some extraordinary and uncalled-for
+delicacy towards the King of Spain. Waiting an explanation, I am your
+
+HEARTY WELL-WISHER.
+
+Lond. Oct. 23. 1849.

+I cannot find that Aylmer's letter has ever been noticed by any of our

+LORD CHATHAM'S SPEECH ON THE AMERICAN STAMP ACT.
+
+Mr. Editor,--The following is an extract from Lord Brougham's _Character
+of Chatham_, vol. i. p. 27.
+
+    "The Debates on the American Stamp Act in 1764 are the first that
+    can be said to have been preserved at all, through the happy
+    accident of Lord Charlemont, assisted by Sir Robert Dean, &c. &c.,
+    and accordingly _they have handed down to us some Notes of Lord
+    Chatham's celebrated Speech upon that Question_."

+bookseller and publisher of the Low Countries named Dorne, who lived at
+the beginning of the sixteenth century?
+
+II. Is any thing known of a little work of early date, called _Henno

+Trusting that some of your readers will be enabled to throw light upon

+NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS:
+
+The matter is so generally understood with regard to the management of
+periodical works, that it is hardly necessary for the Editor to say
+that HE CANNOT UNDERTAKE TO RETURN MANUSCRIPTS; but on one point he
+wishes to offer a few words of explanation to his correspondents in
+general, and particularly to those who do not enable him to communicate
+with them except in print. They will see, on a very little reflection,
+that it is plainly his interest to take all he can get, and make the
+most, and best, of everything; and therefore he begs them to take for
+granted that their communications are received and appreciated, even if
+the succeeding Number bears no proof of it. He is convinced that the
+want of specific acknowledgement will only be felt by those who have no
+idea of the labour and difficulty attendant on the hurried management of
+such a work, and of the impossibility of sometimes giving an
+explanation, when there really is one which would quite satisfy the
+writer, for the delay or non-insertion of his communication.
+Correspondents in such cases have no reason, and if they understood an
+editor's position they would feel that they have no right, to consider
+themselves undervalued; but nothing short of personal experience in
+editorship would explain to them the perplexities and evil consequences
+arising from an opposite course.

+AUBERY JUNIOR The coincidence is certainly curious. When the 3rd of
+November was fixed for the first appearance of "NOTES AND QUERIES," it
+was little thought that it was the anniversary of the birth of John
+Aubrey, the most noted Querist, if not the queerest _Noter_, of all
+English antiquaries. His "Mem. to ask Mr. ----" no doubt indirectly
+suggested our title.
+
+PHILOBIBLION is thanked for his suggestion, that we should "print lists
+of all the books printed by the Roxburgh, Abbotsford, Camden,
+Spottiswoode, and other publishing Clubs and Societies." His suggestion
+had, however, been anticipated: arrangements are making for giving not
+only the information suggested by PHILOBIBLION, but also particulars
+of the works issued by the different Continental publishing Societies,
+such as  _La Société de L'Histoire de France_, _Der Literaische Verein in
+Stuttgart_, and the _Svenska Fornskrift-Sällskap_ of Stockholm, so that
+the English reader may be put into possession of facts connected with
+these Societies not to be found elsewhere.

+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:
+http://gutenberg.net or
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
