+DOMINGO LOMELYN, JESTER TO HENRY VIII.
+
+Shakespeare, in the _Second Part of Henry IV._ act v. sc. 3 makes
+Silence sing the following scrap:--
+
+  "Do me right,
+  And dub me knight:
+  _Samingo_."
+
+And Nash, in his _Summer's Last Will and Testament_, 1600 (reprinted in
+the last edition of Dodsley's _Old Plays_, vol. xi. p. 47.) has
+
+  "Monsieur Mingo for quaffing doth surpass,
+  In cup, in can, or glass;
+  God Bacchus, do me right,
+  And dub me knight,
+  _Domingo_"
+
+T. Warton, in a note in vol. xvii. of the _Variorum_ Shakespeare, says,
+"_Samingo_, that is _San Domingo_, as some of the commentators have
+observed. But what is the meaning and propriety of the name here, has
+not yet been shown. Justice Silence is here introduced as in the midst
+of his cups; and I remember a black-letter ballad, in which either a
+_San Domingo_ or a _Signior Domingo_, is celebrated for his miraculous
+feats in drinking. Silence, in the abundance of his festivity, touches
+upon some old song, in which this convivial _saint_, or _signior_, was
+the burden. Perhaps, too, the pronounciation in here suited to the
+character." I must own that I cannot see what San Domingo has to do with
+a drinking song. May it not be an allusion to a ballad or song on
+_Domingo_, one of King Henry the Eighth's jesters?
+
+  "--_Domyngo Lomelyn_,
+  That was wont to wyn
+  Moche money of the kynge,
+  At the cardys and haserdynge."
+
+Skelton's _Why come ye not to Courte_, ed. Dyce, ii. p. 63.
+
+None of the commentators have noticed this, but I think my suggestion
+carries with it some weight.
+
+In the _Privy Purse Expenses of King Henry the Eighth_ (published by Sir
+H. Nichols, in 1827), are many entries concerning this _Domingo_, most
+of which relate to payments of money that he had won from the king at
+cards and dice. He was evidently, as Sir Harris Nichols observes, one of
+King Henry's "diverting vagabonds," and seems to have accompanied his
+majesty wherever he went, for we find that he was with him at Calais in
+1532. In all these entries he is only mentioned as Domingo; his surname,
+and the fact of his being a Lombard, we learn from Skelton's poem,
+mentioned above.
+
+The following story, told of _Domingo_, occurs in Mr. (afterwards Sir
+John) Harington's _Treatise on Playe_, 1597, printed in the _Nugae
+Antiquae_, edit. Park, vol. i. p.222.:--
+
+     "The other tale I wold tell of a willinge and wise loss I have
+     hearde dyversly tolde. Some tell it of Kyng Phillip and a favoryte
+     of his; some of our worthy King Henry VIII. and _Domingo_; and I
+     may call it a tale; becawse perhappes it is but a tale, but thus
+     they tell it:--The kinge, 55 eldest hand, set up all restes, and
+     discarded flush; _Domingo_ or _Dundego_ (call him how you will),
+     helde it upon 49, or som such game; when all restes were up and
+     they had discarded, the kinge threw his 55 on the boord open, with
+     great lafter, supposing the game (as it was) in a manner
+     sewer. _Domingo_ was at his last carde incownterd flush, as the
+     standers by saw, and tolde the day after; but seeing the king so
+     mery, would not for a reste at primero, put him owt of that
+     pleasawnt conceyt, and put up his cardes quietly, yielding it
+     lost."
+
+Park was not acquainted with any particulars of this _Domingo Lomelyn_,
+for he says, in a note, "Query, jester to the king?"
+
+The first epigram in Samuel Rowland's entertaining tract, _The Letting
+of Humours Blood in the Head-waine_, &c. 1600, is upon "Monsieur
+Domingo;" but whether it relates to King Henry's jester is a matter of
+some question.

+
+MARLOWE AND THE OLD "TAMING OF A SHREW."
+
+Having only just observed an announcement of a new edition of the works
+of Marlowe, I take the earliest opportunity of calling the attention of
+the editor to a circumstance which it is important that he should know,
+and the knowledge of which,--should it have escaped his notice, as it
+has that of all other writers on the subject,--I trust may not be too
+late for his present purpose. Without farther preface, I will introduce
+the subject, by asking Mr. Dyce to compare two passages which I shall
+shortly point out; and, having done so, I think he will agree with me in
+the opinion that the internal evidence, relating to our old dramatic
+literature, cannot have been very much studied, while such a discovery
+as he will then make still remained to be made. The first passage is
+from the so-called _old "Taming of a Shrew"_ (six old plays, 1779, p.
+161.), and runs as follows:--
+
+  "Now that the gloomy shadow of the night,
+  Longing to view Orion's drisling looks,
+  Leaps from th' Antarctic world unto the sky,
+  And dims the welkin with her pitchy breath;"
+
+the second is from _Doctor Faustus_ (Marlowe's Works, vol. ii. p. 127.),
+which, however, I shall save myself the trouble of transcribing; as,
+with the exception of "look" for "looks," in the second line, and "his"
+for "her," in the fourth, the two passages will be found identical.
+Being, some years ago, engaged, in connection with the first of these
+plays, in the pursuit of a very different object,--in which I cannot say
+that I altogether failed, and the result of which I may take an
+opportunity of communicating,--I made a note of the above; and at the
+same time followed it up by a general examination of the style of
+Marlowe. And, to make a long matter short, I may say that in this
+examination, besides meeting with a dozen instances of the identity of
+the writer of passages in the _Taming of a Shrew_ and of passages in
+Marlowe's two plays, _Doctor Faustus_ and _Tamburlaine_, I found such
+general resemblance in style as left no doubt upon my mind that, if one
+of these plays be his acknowledged work, as indisputable will be his
+claim to the other two. I was not aware at that time of the evidence, in
+Henslow's _Diary_, of Marlowe's authorship of _Tamburlaine_; but, so far
+from considering it inferior, I was inclined to place it, in some
+important respects, at the very head of his plays.
+
+I will not take up your space now with the parallel passages which I
+noted; but, should you wish it, and be able to make room for them, I
+will furnish you with a list. It is, of course, obvious that the one I
+have quoted proves nothing by itself; accumulated instances, in
+connection with the general question of style, alone become important. I
+will conclude, by giving a list which I have made out of Marlowe's
+plays, in favour of which I conceive there to be either internal or
+external evidence:--
+
+     "Locrine.
+
+     Tamburlaine the Great (two parts).
+
+     Jew of Malta.
+
+     Doctor Faustus.
+
+     Edward the Second.
+
+     Massacre of Paris.
+
+     Taming of a Shrew.
+
+     Dido, Queen of Carthage (with Nash)."

+     communications he proposes on this very interesting point.]

+
+BEETLE MYTHOLOGY.
+
+Mr. Editor,--I never thought of asking my Low-Norman fellow-rustics
+whether the ladybird had a name and a legend in the best preserved of
+the northern Romance dialects: on the score of a long absence
+(eight-and-twenty years), might not a veteran wanderer plead
+forgiveness? Depend upon it, Sir, nevertheless, that should any
+reminiscences exist among my chosen friends, the stout-hearted and
+industrious tenants of a soil where every croft and paddock is the leaf
+of a chronicle, it will be communicated without delay. There is more
+than usual attractiveness in the astronomical German titles of this tiny
+"red chafer," or _rother kaefer_, SONNEN KAEFER and VNSER FRAWEN
+KVHLEIN, the Sun-chafer, and our Lady's little cow. (_Isis_ or _Io?_)
+
+With regard to its provincial English name, _Barnabee_, the correct
+interpretation might be found in _Barn-bie_, the burning, or fire-fly, a
+compound word of Low-Dutch origin.
+
+We have a small black beetle, common enough in summer, called PÂN,
+nearly hemispherical: you must recollect that the _â_ is as broad as you
+can afford to make it, and the final _n_ is nasal. Children never
+forgot, whenever they caught this beetle, to place it in the palm
+of their left hand, when it was invoked as follows:--
+
+  "PÂN, PÂN, mourtre mé ten sang,
+  Et j'te doűrai de bouan vin blianc!"
+
+which means, being interpreted,
+
+  "PÂN, PÂN, show me thy blood,
+  And I will give thee good white wine!"
+
+As he uttered the charm, the juvenile pontiff spat on poor Thammuz, till
+a torrent of blood, or what seemed such, "ran purple" over the urchin's
+fingers.
+
+Paul-Ernest Jablonski's numerous readers need not be told that the said
+beetle is an Egyptian emblem of the everlasting and universal soul, and
+that its temple is the equinoctial circle, the upper hemisphere.[1]
+
+As a solar emblem, it offers an instructive object of inquiry to the
+judicious gleaners of the old world's fascinating nursery traditions.
+Sicilian Diodorus tells us that the earth's lover, Attis (or Adonis),
+after his resuscitation, acquired the divine title of PAPAN.[2] To
+hazard the inoffensive query, why one of our commonest great beetles is
+still allowed to figure under so distinguished a name, will therefore
+reflect no discredit upon a cautious student of nearly threescore years.
+The very Welsh talked, in William Baxter's time, of "Heaven, as
+_bugarth_ PAPAN," the sun's ox-stall or resting-place; and here you
+likewise find his beetle-majesty, in a Low-Norman collection of insular
+rhymes:--
+
+ "Sus l'bord piâsottaient, côte-ŕ-côte,
+  Les équerbots et leas PAPANS,
+  Et ratte et rat laissaient leux crotte
+  Sus les vieilles casses et męme dedans."[3]
+
+By the help of Horapollo, Chiflet's gnostic gems, and other repertories
+of the same class, one might, peradventure, make a tolerable case in
+favour of the mythological identity of the legend of Ladybird--that is,
+the _sun-chafer_, or _barn-bie_, the _fire-fly_, "whose house is burnt,
+and whose bairns are ten," of course the first ten days of the Egyptian
+year[4]--with the mystical stories of the said black or dark blue lords
+of radiance, _Pân_ and _Papân_.
+
+The Egyptians revere the beetle as a living and breathing image of the
+sun, quoth Porphyry.[5] That will account for this restless delver's
+extraordinary talismanic renown. I think the lady-bird is "the speckled
+beetle" which was flung in hot water to avert storms.[6] Pignorius gives
+us the figure of the beetle, crowned with the sun, and encircled with
+the serpent of eternity; while another, an onyx in the collection of
+Abraham Gorlćus, threatens to gnaw at a thunderbolt.[7]
+
+Reuven's book on the Egyptian Museum, which I have not seen, notices an
+invocation to "the winged beetle, the monarch ([Greek: tyrannos]) of
+mid-heaven," concluding with a devout wish that some poor creature "may
+be dashed to pieces."
+
+Can any of your readers inform me what is meant by "the blood of the
+_Phuôn_?"
+
+Yours truly,
+
+?

+EXTRACTS FROM CHURCHWARDENS' ACCOUNTS OF ST. MARGARET'S,
+WESTMINSTER--WEIGHT OF BELLS IN ANCIENT TIMES--HISTORY OF A
+ROOD-LOFT.
+
+I send you a few Notes, collected out of the Churchwardens' Accounts of
+St. Margaret's, Westminster.
+
+1stly. Some regarding the weight of bells in ancient days:--
+
+"1526. The first bell weith                    ccccc lb.
+       The second bell weith               ccccccxxj lb.
+       The third bell weith                    ixCvj lb.
+       The fourthe bell weith                    M.x lb.
+       The fyfthe belonging to our grete Lady
+         Bretherhed                        MvjCxiiij lb.
+     The sume of all the weight          MMMMVIIC Li lb.
+
+"1592. The broken Tennor waied               xvjCxxj lb.
+       The new tennor ys.                      xiijC di
+       The greatest bell ys     xxjC and di at lvjs. the C.
+       The iiij bell ys       xvijC and di and xiiij lb.
+       The xiiij bell taken awaie was          xiijC di.
+       The ij bell carried awaie was     viijCiij qters.
+       The new bell                           viijC di.
+      Som totall of the bells, yron, tymber, and
+      workmanshipp                       lxxvl. vs. vd."
+
+This appears to have been a sorry bargain, for
+soon after occur sad complaints of these bells,
+"very falsly and deceytfully made by Valentyne
+Trever." Perhaps your correspondent "CEPHAS"
+may explain the following entry:--
+
+"1846. Item, paid for makying of a newe clapper to
+         Judas bell                                xd."
+
+2ndly. Some entries, which make up a little
+history of a rood-loft:--
+
+"1460. Item, sol' pro le skoryng de la belles sup' le
+          Rode lofte                             iiijd.

+
+The fickle tyrant Henry VIII. dies; a more consistent

+
+Queen Mary succeeds the boy-king Edward VI.,
+and restores the Ritual of her Church.

+
+Upon the accession of Queen Elizabeth once more,
+and this time for ever, the rood was destroyed,
+and the loft, though "reformed," did not long
+survive it.
+
+"1559. Payde to John Rialle for his iij dayse work

+NOTES UPON CUNNINGHAM'S HANDBOOK FOR LONDON.
+
+_The Bagnio in Long Acre._--Mr. Cunningham mentions the Queen's Bagnio
+in Long Acre. Query, was this the same as the Duke of York's Bagnio? S.
+Haworth published, in a small 12mo. volume, without date, "A Description
+of the Duke of York's Bagnio, in Long Acre, and of the Mineral Bath and
+new Spaw thereunto belonging."
+
+_Tavistock Street, Covent Garden._--Richard Leveridge, the celebrated
+singer, after his retirement from the stage, kept a tavern in this
+street. Here he brought out "A Collection of Songs, with the Music, by
+Mr. Leveridge. In two volumes. London, Engrav'd and Printed for the
+Author in Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, 1727." The frontispiece was
+designed and engraved by Hogarth.
+
+_Duke Street, Westminster._--Miss Hawkins, in her _Anecdotes_, p. 186.,
+speaking of Lady Lucy Meyrick, says, "On quitting her husband's family,
+she came to reside in Duke Street, Westminster, and lived in that house
+which had been _Prior's_, and which _exactly faces Charles Street_."
+
+_Richmond Buildings, Soho._--Horne Tooke resided here in 1775. He
+afterwards removed to Frith Street.
+
+_Clare Market_, originally called _New Market_, was established about
+the year 1660, by Lord Clare.
+
+     "The city and my lord had a great lawsuit, which lasted many years,
+     to the great expence of the city; but from the inequity of the
+     times the city and my lord agreed, and gave it up to the lord; and
+     now it is become one of the greatest markets in the adjacent parts;
+     and from the success of this noble lord, they have got several
+     charters for the erecting of several others since the year 1660; as
+     that of St. James, by the Earl of St. Alban's; Bloomsbury, by the
+     Earl of Southampton; Brook Market, by the Lord Brook; Hungerford
+     Market; Newport Market; besides the Hay Market, New Charingcross,
+     and that at Petty France at Westminster, with their Mayfair in the

+AELFRIC'S COLLOQUY.
+
+The singular error which Messrs. Lye and Thorpe have fallen in the
+passage pointed out by Mr. Hampson in Aelfric's very interesting
+_Colloquy_, is the more remarkable as Aelfric himself afforded a
+complete illustration of the passage, in his _Glossary_, where we have
+"BULGA, _hýdig-faet_." It is possible, therefore, that _higdifatu_ is a
+mere error of the scribe. Now Du Cange, v. _Bulga_, cites this very
+passage from Aelfric's _Glossary_, and adds, "i.e. _vas ex corio
+confectum_," but his whole article is worth consulting. That the Latin
+word in the _Colloquy_ should be _Cassidilia_ is quite clear. Thus in an
+old MS. English Gloss on the Bible (penes me), the passage in Tobit,
+viii. 2., "Protulit de _Cassidili_ suo," is rendered, "brouzt forth of
+his _Scrippe_." Coverdale has it, "take out of his _bagge_," and Luther,
+"langte aus seinem _Sücklein_," which word is exchanged for _büdel_ in
+the Saxon version. In two old Teutonic Glosses on the Bible published by
+Graff (_Diutiska, ii. 178.), we have the following variations:--
+
+_de cassidi_ burssa, _de sacello t. sacciperio_ kiula
+_de cassili_ burissa, _de sacello t. sacciperio_ kiulla.
+
+Another Gloss in Graff's 1st vol. p. 192., on the word _Cadus_, may
+perhaps throw some light on the subject. The philological student need
+not be reminded of the wide application of the word _vas_, Lat., _fazz_,
+O.G., and _faet_. A.S.; but for my own part, I conclude that the
+shoewright intended to designate by _higdifatu_ all sorts of _leathern
+budgets_. Every Anglo-Saxon student must be so sensible of the great
+obligation he is under to our distinguished scholar Mr. Thorpe, that I
+trust it will not be deemed invidious or ungracious to point out another
+passage in this _Colloquy_ which seems to have hitherto baffled him, but
+which it appears to me may be elucidated.
+
+To the question, "Hwilce fixas gefehst thu?" the fisherman answers,
+"Aelas aud hacodas, mynas, aud aelputan, sceotan aud lampredan, aud swa
+hwylce swa on waetere swymath, _sprote_."
+
+Mr. Thorpe, in the 1st edition of his _Analecta_, says, "What is
+intended to be meant by this word [_sprote_], as well as by _salu_ [the
+correspondent word in the Latin], I am at a loss to conjecture." In his
+second edition, Mr. Thorpe repeats, "I am unable to explain _salu_
+otherwise than by supposing it may be an error for _salice_. In his
+_Glossary_ he has "spro't, ii. 2.? sprout, rod?" with a reference to his
+note. I must confess I cannot see how the substitution of _salice_ for
+_salu_ would make the passage more intelligible, and the explanation of
+_spro'te_ in the _Glossary_ does not help us. The sense required appears
+to me to be, _quickly, swiftly,_ and this will, I think, be found to be
+the meaning of _sprote_. In the Moeso-Gothic Gospels the word _sprauto_
+occurs several times and always in the sense of _cito, subito_; and
+though we have hitherto, I believe, no other example in Anglo-Saxon of
+this adverbial use of the word, we are warranted, I think, in
+concluding, from the analogy of a cognate language, that it did exist.
+In regard to the evidently corrupt Latin word _salu_, I have
+nothing better to offer than the forlorn conjecture that, in monkish
+Latin, "_saltu't_" may have been contractedly written for _saltuatim_."
+
+Dr. Leo, in his _Angelsâchsiche Sprachproben_, has reprinted the
+_Colloquy_, but without the Latin, and, among many other capricious
+deviations from Mr. Thorpe's text, in the answer of the shoewright has
+printed _hygefata_! but does not notice the word in his _Glossary_. Herr
+Leo has entirely omitted the word _sprote_.

+     at the Logographic Press, Printing-House Square, near Apothecaries'
+     Hall, Blackfriars," and the height to which the Mr. Walter of that
+     day had brought his invention, by the same energy by which his
+     successor has raised THE TIMES to its present position, is shown by
+     the following note from a kind and most able correspondent.]
+
+A much more remarkable specimen of Logographic Printing than the number
+of the _Times_ newspaper mentioned by NASO, No. 9., p. 136., is an
+edition of Anderson's _History of Commerce_, with a continuation, in 4
+vols. 4to., printed by that method in 1787-1789, "at the Logographic
+Press, by J. Walter, Printing-House Square, Blackfriars." The work,
+which makes in all not much short of 4000 pages, is very well printed in
+all respects; and the following interesting note on the subject of
+Logographic Printing is attached to the preface heading the
+Continuation, or fourth volume.
+
+"Mr. Walter cannot here omit suggesting to the Public a few observations
+on his improved mode of printing LOGOGRAPHICALLY. In all projects for
+the general benefit, the individual who conceives that the trade in
+which he is engaged diminishes in its emoluments from any improvement
+which another may produce in it, is too much disposed to become its
+enemy; and, perhaps, the interest of individuals never exerted itself
+with more inveteracy than has been experienced by Mr. Walter from many
+concerned in the trade into which he had entered.
+
+"The invention which he brought forward, promised to be of essential
+service to the public, by expediting the process and lessening the
+expense of printing. Dr. Franklin sanctioned it with his approbation,
+and Sir Joseph Banks encouraged him with the most decided and animated
+opinion of the great advantages which would arise to literature from the
+LOGOGRAPHIC PRESS. Nevertheless Mr. Walter was left to struggle with the
+interest of some, and the prejudice of others, and, though he was
+honoured by the protection of several persons of high rank, it happened
+in his predicament, as it generally happens in predicaments of a similar
+nature, that his foes were more active than his friends, and he still
+continued to struggle with every difficulty that could arise from a very
+determined opposition to, and the most illiberal misrepresentations of,
+the LOGOGRAPHIC IMPROVEMENT.
+
+"Mr. Walter has, however, at length triumphed over the falsehood and
+malignity of his opponents; LOGOGRAPHIC PRINTING, after having produced
+such a work as this, which he now presents to the public, with many
+excellent publications that he has already printed, can no longer be
+considered as an idle speculation: on the contrary, it is proved to be a
+practical improvement, that promises, under a due encouragement, to
+produce a great national benefit. To advance it to the perfection of
+which it is capable, Mr. Walter engages to employ his utmost exertions,
+and he takes the liberty of expressing his confidence, that he shall not
+be disappointed in the enjoyment of that public favour which now
+promises to reward his labours."

+
+MEMORIALS OF THE DUKE OF MONMOUTH'S LAST DAYS.[9]
+
+At a recent meeting of the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin, Dr. Anster
+exhibited a manuscript volume of 157 pages, which he declared to be the
+identical "album filled with songs, recipes, prayers, and charms," found
+in the Duke of Monmouth's pocket when he was seized. It was purchased at
+a book-stall in Paris in 1827 by an Irish divinity student, was given by
+him to a priest in the county of Kerry, and, on the priest's death,
+became the property of the present possessor. Respecting in its identity
+and history, from its removal from the rebel duke's pocket down to its
+production at the Royal Irish Academy, Dr. Anster showed that after
+Monmouth was beheaded--which he was on Tower Hill, by the too-celebrated
+John Ketch, on the 15th July, 1685--the articles found on his person
+were given to the king. At James's deposition, three years afterwards,
+all his manuscripts, including those that had belonged to Monmouth, were
+carried into France, where they remained till the Revolution in that
+country a century afterwards. Dr. Anster, in exhibiting the book,
+showed that the remains of silver clasps had been destroyed, and a part
+of the leather of the covers at each side torn away, seemingly for the
+purpose of removing some name on a coat of arms with which it had been
+once marked; and this he accounted for by the belief that at the period
+of the French Revolution the persons in whose custody they were, being
+fearful of the suspicions likely to arise from their possession of books
+with royal arms on them, tore off the covers, and sent the books to St.
+Omer's. The after-fate of the larger books was, that they were burned;
+some small ones, we are distinctly told, were saved from this fate, but
+seem to have been disregarded, and all trace of them lost. The Abbé
+Waters--a collateral descendant of Lucy Waters, the Duke of Monmouth's
+mother--was the person with whom George IV. negotiated for the Stuart
+papers, and from whom the volumes which have since appeared as Clark's
+_Life of James the Second_ were obtained; and it is from the Abbé Waters
+we have the account of the destruction of King James's autograph papers.
+Dr. Anster showed, written on the inner cover of this volume, the words,
+"Baron Watiers" or "Watrers."
+
+As to the identity of the book, Dr. Anster quoted several passages from
+contemporary authors to test their account of the contents of the
+"album" with those of the book he was describing. In the _Harleian
+Miscellany_, vol. vi. p.323., it is stated in Sir John Reresby's
+memoirs, that "out of his [Monmouth's] pocket were taken books, in his
+own handwriting, containing charms or spells to open the doors of a
+prison, to obviate the danger of being wounded in battle, together with
+songs and prayers." Barillon describes the book in what is nearly a
+translation of this--"Il y avoit des secrets de magie et d'enchantment,
+avec des chansons des recettes pour des maladies et des prieres." Again,
+in a note by Lord Dartmouth to the modern editions of _Burnet's Own
+Times_, we have the following statement:--
+
+     "My uncle Colonel William Legge, who went in the coach with him
+     [Monmouth] to London as a guard, with orders to stab him if there
+     were any disorders on the road, showed me several charms that were
+     tied about him when he was taken, and his table-book, which was
+     full of astrological figures that nobody could understand; but he
+     told my uncle that they had been given to him some years before in
+     Scotland, and he now found they were but foolish conceits."
+
+The actual contents of the manuscript volume show a great resemblance to
+these descriptions. The most curious passages which it contains are the
+duke's memorandums of his journey on two visits to the Prince of Orange,
+in the year previous to his last rash adventure. His movements up to the
+14th of March, 1684-85, are given. The entries do not seem to be of much
+moment; but they may accidentally confirm or disprove some disputed
+points of history. There is an entry without a date, describing the
+stages of a journey in England, commencing with London and Hampstead: it
+ends with Toddington. This forms a strong link in the chain of identity;
+for Toddington is a place remarkable in the history of the duke. Near it
+was the residence of Lady Henrietta Maria Wentworth, baroness (in her
+own right) of Nettlestead, only daughter and heir of Thomas Lord
+Wentworth, grandchild and heir of the Earl of Cleveland. Five years
+before the execution, her mother observed that, despite the duke being a
+married man, her daughter had, while at court, attracted his admiration,
+and she hurried her away to Toddington. In 1683, after the failure of
+the Rye-House Plot, Monmouth was banished from the royal presence, and
+it was to Toddington he retired. When, on retracting the confession he
+had made on the occasion, he was banished the kingdom, the companion of
+his exile was Lady Henrietta Wentworth.
+
+"I dwell on this," said Dr. Anster, "because the accidental mention of
+Toddington seems to authenticate the book: the name of Lady Henrietta
+Wentworth does not occur in it, and the persons in whose hands the book
+has been since it was purchased in Paris do not seem to have noticed the
+name of Toddington, or to have known that it had any peculiar relation
+to the duke's history. It occurs twice in the book--once in the
+itinerary, and again in a trifling and unmetrical song, which is
+probably the duke's own composition; written probably on the eve of his
+flight with his romantic but guilty companion to Holland:--
+
+  "'With joy we leave thee,
+  False world, and do forgive
+  All thy false treachery.
+  For now we'll happy live.
+  We'll to our bowers,
+  And there spend our hours;
+  Happy there we'll be,
+  We no strifes can see;
+  No quarrelling for crowns,
+  Nor fear the great one's frowns;
+  Nor slavery of state,
+  Nor changes in our fate.
+  From plots this place is free,
+  There we'll ever be;
+  We'll sit and bless our stars
+  That from the noise of wars
+  Did this glorious place give
+  (Or did us Toddington give)
+  That thus we happy live.'"
+
+In Macaulay's history we find that the latest act of the duke on the
+scaffold, before submitting to the stroke of the executioner, was to
+call his servant, and put into the man's hand a toothpick-case, the last
+token of ill-starred love. "Give it," he said, "_to that person!_" After
+the description of Monmouth's burial occurs the following affecting
+passage:--
+
+     "Yet a few months and the quiet village of Toddington, in
+     Bedfordshire, witnessed a yet sadder funeral. Near that village
+     stood an ancient and stately hall, the seat of the Wentworths. The
+     transept of the parish church had long been their burial-place. To
+     that burial-place, in the spring which followed the death of
+     Monmouth, was borne the coffin of the young Baroness Wentworth of
+     Nettlestead. Her family reared a sumptuous mausoleum over her
+     remains; but a less costly memorial of her was long contemplated
+     with far deeper interest: her name, carved by the hand of him she
+     loved too well, was, a few years ago, still discernible on a tree
+     in the adjoining park."
+
+In further proof of identity, Dr. Anster pointed out several charms and
+recipes which the manuscript volume contains. The conjurations are in
+general for the purpose of learning the results of sickness in any
+particular case, and of determining whether friends will be in certain
+circumstances faithful. There are also incantations for the use of
+several maladies, and one to make gray hair grow black. No "charms
+against being wounded in battle," such are Sir John Reresby mentions,
+are to be found in the volume; but there are some prayers against
+violent death, which have the appearance of having been transcribed from
+some devotional book. There is evidently a mistake in supposing that
+this book contains any charm for breaking open prison doors, and it is
+likely that Sir John Reresby was misled in this way:--There is in p. 7.
+a charm in French to procure repose of body and mind, and deliverance
+from pains; and the word for "pains" is written in a contracted form; it
+might as well stand for prisons; but, examining the context, it is
+plainly the former word which is meant.
+
+The rest of the entries consist of extracts from old recipe-books, mixed
+in the oddest way with abridgements of English history, and the most
+trifling memorandums, chiefly of a private and personal kind.
+Altogether, this commonplace work is highly indicative of the weakness,
+vanity, and superstition which stood forward so prominently in the
+character of the rash but unfortunate Duke of Monmouth.

+QUERIES.
+
+CATHERINE PEGGE.
+
+Mr. Cunningham was mistaken in supposing that I had overlooked Catherine
+Pegge, for I was well aware that she could not have been Pepys's "pretty
+Lady." She must, in fact, have attained her fortieth year, and there is
+no record of her being on the stage; whereas Margaret Hughes had, when
+Pepys saluted her, recently joined the Theatre Royal, and she is
+expressly styled "Peg Hughes" by Tom Browne, in one of his "Letters from
+the Dead to the Living." Having disposed of this question, I am tempted
+to add that Morant does not confirm the statement that Catherine Pegge
+married Sir Edward Green, for he says that
+
+     "Sir Edward Greene, created a Baronet, 26 July, 1660, was seated at
+     Little Sampford in Essex; he had 3 wives, the first was Jeronyma,
+     daughter and coheir of William Everard, of Linsted, Esq., and by
+     her he had 6 daughters; by Mary, daughter of ---- Tasborough, he
+     had a son; and by the third lady ----, daughter of ---- Simonds, he
+     had a daughter. He was the last of the Greenes that enjoyed this
+     estate, having lost it by gaming."--Morant's _Essex_, vol. ii. p.
+     525.
+
+This account of the Greene family is stated in a note to have been taken
+from a fine pedigree on vellum, penes T. Wotton, Gent.
+
+If Catherine Pegge was one the three ladies mentioned above, she must
+have changed her name previously to her marriage, in hopes of concealing
+her former history; but the circumstance of the baronetcy being
+conferred upon Sir Edward is very suspicious. Probably some of your
+correspondents can settle the question.

+WILLIAM BASSE, AND HIS POEMS.
+
+Can any of your readers inform me where a perfect or imperfect copy is
+to be found of a poem, of which I possess only a single half sheet,
+under the following title:--
+
+     "_Great Brittaines Sunnes-set, bewailed with a Shower of Teares_.
+     By William Basse. At Oxford, Printed by Joseph Barnes. 1613"?
+
+It is one of the many poems published on the death of Prince Henry; and
+although I have been in search of it, or of a fragment of it, for more
+than twenty years, I have never been able to obtain tidings of more than
+of that small portion in my possession; nor am I aware of the mention of
+it in any bibliographical authority. I have not at hand Sir H. Nicolas's
+edition of Walton's _Angler_, in which Basse is spoken of, but I
+remember looking at that beautiful and costly work a long time ago, and,
+as far as I recollect, not finding in it anything to my purpose. I
+observe that a William Basse (or _Bas_, as the name is there spelt)
+printed in 1602, 4to., a tract called _Sword and Buckler, or Serving
+Man's Defence_; but I know no more of it than that it was sold in
+Stevens's sale; and among the MSS. of the late Mr. Heber was a volume
+of poems called _Polyhymnia_, apparently prepared for the press, and
+dedicated by William Basse to Lady Lindsey, which contained an "Elegie
+on a rare Singing Bull-finch," dated 19th June, 1648; so that he was
+still living nearly half a century after he had printed his earliest
+known performance.
+
+The production that Izaac Walton refers to must be the ballad preserved
+in the Pepys Collection at Cambridge, under the heading "Maister
+Basse his Careere, or the new Hunting of the Hare. To a new Court tune;"
+and beginning--
+
+  "Long ere the morne expects the returne."
+
+It was "Printed at London by E.A.," i.e. Edward Allde, without date; and
+it may have been duly noticed by the last editor of _The Complete
+Angler_. However, neither this nor Heber's MS. throw any new light upon
+the small tract (in 8vo., and of perhaps not more than two sheets) with
+the title of which I commenced, and regarding which I request
+information. It is a poem in eight-line stanzas, and it is dedicated, at
+the back of the title-page, "To his honourable Master, Sir Richard
+Wenman, Knight," without another word addressed to his patron.
+
+My fragment of four leaves, or half an 8vo. sheet, contains stanzas (one
+on each page), numbered 5, 6, 7, 8. 13, 14.; and the earliest of them is
+this:--
+
+    "To you I therefore weepe: To you alone
+    I shew the image of your teares, in mine;
+    That mine (by shewing your teares) may be show'n
+    To be like yours, so faithfull so divine:
+    Such as more make the publique woe their owne,
+    Then their woe publique, such as not confine
+  Themselves to times, nor yet forms from examples borrow:
+  Where losse is infinit, there boundlesse is the sorrow."
+
+I have preserved even the printer's punctuation, for the sake of more
+perfect identification, if any of your readers are acquainted with the
+existence of a copy of the production, or of any portion of it. The
+above stanza, being numbered "5," of course it was preceded by four
+others, of which I can give no account. Another stanza, from this
+literary and bibliographical rarity, may not be unacceptable; it is the
+eighth--
+
+    "Here then run forth thou River of my woes
+    In cease lesse currents of complaining verse:
+    Here weepe (young Muse) while elder pens compose
+    More solemne Rites unto his sacread Hearse.
+    And, as when happy earth did, here, enclose
+    His heavn'ly minde, his Fame then Heav'n did pierce.
+  Now He in Heav'n doth rest, now let his Fame earth fill;
+  So, both him then posses'd: so both possesse him still."
+
+Therefore, although Basse had written his _Sword and Buckler_ in 1602
+(if it were the same man), he still called his Muse "young" in 1613. I
+cannot call to mind any precedent for the form of stanza adopted by him,
+consisting, as it does, of six ten-syllable lines, rhyming alternately,
+followed by a twelve-syllable couplet. None of the other stanzas contain
+personal matter; the grief of the author of _Great Britain's Sun's-set_
+seems as artificial as might be expected; and his tears were probably
+brought to the surface by the usual pecuniary force-pump.
+
+I have some notion that William Basse was a musical composer, as well as
+a writer of verses; but here, again, I am at fault, and particularly
+request the aid of Dr. Rimbault, who has paid special attention to such
+matters, and who has just published a learned and valuable work on the
+music of the ballads in Percy's _Reliques_. If the volume were not so
+indisputably excellent in its kind, there are reasons, connected with
+its dedication, which might make me hesitate in giving it even a just
+tribute of praise.

+of the well-known Christmas Hymn, "Hark the Herald Angels sing," which

+at the end of our Prayer-Books? In the collection of poems entitled

+swell our tuneful notes," frequently appended to Tate and Brady; as well
+as of the Sacramental Hymn, "My God and is Thy table spread?" If the
+author of this hymn cannot be determined, it would be interesting to
+know its probable date, and the time when this and the other

+correspondents could help him to the interpretation of the following
+lines, in the "Imitation" of Horace's _Epistle to Augustus_:--
+
+  "The Hero William, and the Martyr Charles,
+  One knighted Blackmore, and one pensioned Quarles,
+  Which made old Ben, and sturdy Dennis swear,
+  _No Lord's Annointed, but a Russian bear!_"
+
+The passage in Horace, of which this purports to be an "Imitation," is
+the well-known
+
+"Boeotum in crasso jurares äere natum,"
+
+and it is clear enough that Pope meant to represent kings Charles and
+William as so devoid of the taste which should guide royal patronage,
+that, in selecting such objects of their favour as Blackmore and
+Quarles, they showed themselves to be as uncouth and unpolished as the
+animal to which he likens them. But the principal motive of this inquiry
+is to ascertain whether there exist in their writings any record
+of the indignation supposed to have been expressed by Jonson and Dennis
+at the favour shown by majesty to their less worthy rivals.

+_Discovery of the Circulation of the Blood_.--There is a passage in
+Longinus (ch. xxii.), familiar perhaps to some of the readers of the
+"NOTES AND QUERIES," which indicates that the fact of the circulation of
+the blood was well established in the days of Plato. The father of
+critics, to exemplify, and illustrate the use and value of _trope_ in
+writing, has garbled from the Timaeus, a number of sentences descriptive
+of the anatomy of the human body, where the circulation of the blood is
+pointed at in terms singularly graphic. The exact extent of professional
+knowledge arrived at in the time of the great philosopher is by no means
+clearly defined: he speaks of the fact, however, not with a view to
+prove what was contested or chimerical, but avails himself of it to
+figure out the surpassing wisdom of the gods in constructing the human
+frame. Perhaps some of the readers of the "NOTES," who are more
+thoroughly conversant with the subject, may think it worth while to
+inquire how much was known on that subject before Harvey wrote his
+_Exercitationes Anatomiae_. The _Prooemium_ of that author seems hardly
+sufficient to satisfy the desire of every reader, who has looked with
+some care to the passage in Longinus to which I have taken the liberty
+of calling public attention.

+_Pandoxare_.--Having met with an old volume containing the entire
+household expenses, as well as in some degree a diary, kept by a country
+gentleman during the reigns of James II., William and Mary, and Anne, I
+observed that he has made use of a species of hieroglyphics, to
+facilitate his reference to his book, as it contained all the entries of
+all kinds, in chronological order. For instance, where mention is made
+of money spent on behalf of one person in his house, he puts at the side
+of the page a clay pipe, rudely drawn; an entry of the payment of wages
+to another servant has a jug of ale; another a quill pen; another a
+couple of brooms, as the housemaid; a fiddle for the dancing master for
+his daughter; payment made to the sexton or parish-clerk has a
+representation of the village church by its side, and the window-tax a
+small lattice-window; and on the days that they brewed, a small barrel
+is drawn by the side of the date. And the chief object of my letter is
+with respect to this last; a barrel is often drawn, and by its side the
+words, _primň relinitus_, and the date, naturally meaning the day it was
+tapped; and then shortly after comes another barrel, and to it is
+written the word _Pandox_., or sometimes in full _Pandoxavimus_; in some
+places at the end of the year there is a list to this effect:--
+
+                    "(1705.)

+_De Captivitate Babylonica Ecclesiae_, 4to., s.l.v.a.; and that the
+wished-for representation of Erasmus may be seen in the small octavo
+volume, entitled _Bellaria Epistolarum Erasmi Rot. et Ambrosii Pelargi
+vicissim missarum_, Colon. 1539? Some of your readers will doubtless be
+acquainted with what seems to be a very accurate and complete
+performance, the _Vita D. Martini Lutheri Nummis atque Inconibus
+illustrata_, studio M. Christiani Juncker, 8vo., Francof. 1699. In this

+it containing two different versions of the Psalms. The two statements,
+however, differ, making it doubtful of what is intended; the first
+speaking of one edition and the second of another.
+
+Vol. i. p. 181. says--
+
+     "The first edition of this Bible was published in 1568. In this the

+
+_Lacedaemonian Black Broth_.--Your correspondent "W." in No. 11., is
+amusing as well as instructive; but it does not yet appear that we must
+reject the notion of coffee as an ingredient of the Lacedaemonian black
+broth upon the score of _colour_ or _taste_.
+
+That it _was_ an ingredient has only as yet been mooted as a
+_probability_.
+
+Pollux, to whom your correspondent refers us, says that [Greek: zomos
+melas] was a Lacedaemonian food; and that it was called [Greek:
+aimatia], translated in Scott and Liddell's _Lexicon_, "_blood-broth_."
+These lexicographers add, "The Spartan black broth was made with blood,"
+and refer to Manso's _Sparta_, a German work, which I have not the
+advantage of consulting.
+
+Gesner, in his _Thesaurus_, upon the word "jus," quotes the known
+passage of Cicero, _Tusc. Disp_. v. 34., and thinks the "jus nigrum" was
+probably the [Greek: aimatia], and made with an admixture of blood, as
+the "botuli," the _black_ puddings of modern time, were.
+
+Coffee would not be of much lighter colour than blood. A decoction of
+senna, though of a red-brown, is sometimes administered in medicine
+under the common name of a "_black_ dose."
+
+As regards the _colour_, then, whether blood or coffee were the
+ingredient, the mess would be sufficiently dark to be called "_black_."
+
+In respect of _taste_, it is well known, from the story told by Cicero
+in the passage above referred to, that the Lacedaemonian black broth was
+_disagreeable_, at least to Dionysius, and the Lacedaemonians, who
+observed to him that he wanted that best of sauces, hunger, convey a
+confession that their broth was not easily relished.
+
+The same story is told with a little variation by Stobaeus, _Serm_.
+xxix., and Plutarch, _Institut. Lacon_., 2. The latter writer says, that
+the Syracusan, having tasted the Spartan broth, "spat it out in
+disgust," [Greek: dyscheranunta apoptusai].
+
+It would not have been unlike the Lacedaemonians purposely to have
+established a disagreeable viand in their system of public feeding. Men
+that used iron money to prevent the accumulation of wealth, and, as
+youths, had volunteered to be scourged, scratched, beat about, and
+kicked about, to inure them to pain, were just the persons to affect a
+nauseous food to discipline the appetite.
+

+
+_Lacedaemonian Black Broth_.--I should be glad to know in what passages
+of ancient authors the Lacedaemonian black broth is mentioned, and
+whether it is alluded to in such terms as to indicate the nature of the
+food. It has occurred to me that it is much more probable that it was
+the same _black broth_ which is now cooked in Greece, where I have eaten
+of it and found it very good, although it looked as if a bottle of ink
+had been poured into the mess.
+
+The dish is composed of small cuttle-fish (with their ink-bags) boiled

+_Bigotry._--The word Bigotry pervades almost all the languages of
+Europe, but its etymology has not been satisfactory to Noah Webster. The
+application of it is generally intelligible enough; being directed
+against those who pertinaciously adhere to their own system of religious
+faith. But as early as the tenth century it appears, that the use of the
+word Bigot originated in a circumstance, or incident, unconnected with
+religious views. An old chronicle, published by Duchesne in the 3rd vol.
+of his _Hist. Francorum Scriptores_, states that Rollo, on receiving
+Normandy from the King of France, or at least of that part of it, was
+called upon to kiss the foot of the king, a ceremony, it seems, in use
+not at the Vatican only; but he refused "unless the king would raise his
+foot to his mouth." When the counts in attendance admonished him to
+comply with this usual form of accepting so valuable a fief, he still
+declined, exclaiming in pure Anglo-Saxon, "Not He, By God,"--_Ne
+se bigoth_; "quod interpetatur," says the chronicler, "non [ille] per
+Deum." The king and his peers, deriding him, called him afterwards
+Bigoth, or Bigot, instead of Rollo. "Unde Normanni," adds the writer,
+who brings his history down to the year 1137, "adhuc Bigothi dicuntur."
+This will account for the prepositive article "Le" prefixed to the
+Norman Bigods, the descendants of those who followed William the
+Conqueror into England, such as Hugh Le Bigod, &c. Among other
+innovations in France, the word Bigotisme has been introduced, of which
+Boiste gives an example as combined with Philosophisme:--"Le Bigotisme
+n'est, comme le Philosophisme, qu'un Egoďsme systématique. Le
+Philosophisme et le Bigotisme se traitent comme les chiens et les loups;

+to the Ironworks of Sussex, is from the pen of Daniel Defoe. On
+referring to the list of his writings, given in vol. xx. of C. Talboy's
+edition of Defoe's Works, I find this idea is correct. Chalmers notices
+three editions of the work, in 1724, 1725, and 1727, (numbered in his
+list "154," "156," "163,") and remarks that "all the subsequent editions
+vary considerably from the original" of 1724. He states that "this work
+is frequently confounded with 'John Macky's Journey through England, in
+familiar Letters from a Gentleman here to his Friend abroad,' 1722." I
+may take this opportunity of mentioning that, in the first volume of
+Defoe's work, there are some very interesting particulars of the
+skirmish at Reading, between the troops of the Prince of Orange and the
+Irish forces of James II., and the panic known as the "Irish night,"
+which deserve to be consulted by Mr. Macaulay, for the next edition of
+his History. The whole work will well repay a perusal, and what is there

+excursus on this subject. The word, he avers, is _Phoenician_: from
+_maphula_, one of those kinds of bread named as such by Athenaeus. "It
+was a _cake_," says Athenaeus, "baked on a hearth or griddle." He
+derives this by taking away the final vowel, and then changing _l_ for
+_n_; thus: "maphula," "maphul," "mufun!!!"

+to have been seen by Lowndes, says, in his advertisement, "The works

+this volume has endeavored to remedy this defect by the publication of

+NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.
+
+The Percy Society have just issued _A New and Mery Enterlude called the
+Triall of Treasure_, from the edition printed at London by Thomas
+Purfoote, 1567, edited by Mr. Halliwell. The other works issued by the
+Society since May last (when the year's subscription became due) have
+been _A Poem_ (satirical) _of The Times of Edward II_., edited by the
+Rev. C. Hardwick, from a MS. at St. Peter's College, Cambridge, of which
+a less perfect copy from an Edinburgh MS. was printed by Mr. Wright, in
+the volume of _Political Songs_, edited by him for the Camden Society;
+_Notices of Fugitive Tracts and Chap-Books, printed at Aldermary
+Churchyard, Bow Churchyard, &c._ by Mr. Halliwell; _The Man in the
+Moone, or The English Fortune Teller_, edited by the same gentleman,
+from the unique copy printed in 1609, now in the Bodleian; and lastly,
+_The Religious Poems of William de Shoreham, Vicar of Chart-Sutton in
+Kent, in the Reign of Edward II_., edited by Mr. Wright, from a
+contemporary manuscript.
+
+It is doubtful whether Mr. Shaw's skill as an artist, fidelity as a
+copyist, or taste in the selection of his subjects, entitle him to the
+higher praise. We leave to those who are familiar with his _Dresses and
+Decorations of the Middle Ages_, and other admirable productions, the
+settlement of this point. He has just published the first number of a
+new work, _The Decorative Arts of the Middle Ages_, the object of which
+is to exhibit the peculiar features and general characteristics of
+decorative art, from the Byzantine or early Christian period to the
+decline of that termed the _Renaissance_. This beautiful work--for
+beautiful it is--is extremely well timed, as it appears at a moment when
+our manufacturers who desire to display their skill at the great
+exhibition of 1851, must be most anxious to see "the principles by which
+our ancestors controlled their genius in producing articles of taste and
+beauty, from the precious metals, from enamels, from glass, from
+embroidery, and from the various other textures and materials on
+which they delighted to lavish their skill and ingenuity (both for the
+various services of the Church, and also as accessories to the luxuries
+of the wealthy of all classes)." The present number contains: 1. "An
+exquisite Cup, designed by Holbein for Queen Jane Seymour;" 2. "Stained
+Glass of the 13th Century, from the Cathedral of Chartres;" 3. "An
+exquisite Specimen of Embroidery (of the date of 1554), from a picture
+of Queen Mary belonging to the Society of Antiquaries;" and, 4.
+"Iron-work from the Tomb of Eleanor of Castile." It will be seen, from
+this enumeration of them, how varied and well selected are the subjects
+of this new work of Mr. Shaw, and how well they are adapted to answer
+the end which he has in view.

+
+PLAIN SERMONS. Second Series. Second Edition.
+
+     "In the statements of Christian doctrine, the reality of Mr.
+     Blencowe's mind is very striking. There is a strength, and a
+     warmth, and a life, in his mention of the great truths of the
+     Gospel, which show that he spoke from the heart, and that, like the
+     Apostle of old, he could say.--'I believe, and therefore have I
+     spoken.'"--_Theologian_.
+
+     "Plain, short, and affectionate discourse."--_English Review_.
+
+2 Vols. 12mo., 8s. each, sold separately. SERMONS. By ALFRED GATTY M.A.,
+Vicar of Ecclesfield.
+
+     "We say willingly of these Sermons, what we can seldom say of
+     sermons published at the request of parishioners, that they justify
+     the respect paid to them; and appear to us in somewhat the same
+     light as we should suppose they seemed to those who listened to and
+     admired them. They are sermons of a high and solid character, and
+     are the production of a good Churchman. They are earnest and
+     affectionate, and follow out of the Church's
+     doctrine."--_Theologian_.
+
+     "Warm-hearted and thoughtful."--_Guardian_.
+
+     "When the first edition of theses Sermons appeared, we noticed them
+     as a series of plain and practical, but close and scholarly
+     discourses. The appearance of a second edition, in a short time,
+     justifies our recommendation."--_Spectator_.
+
+     "In the effective simplicity with which Mr. Gatty applies the
+     incidents and precepts of the Gospel to the every-day concerns of
+     life he has no superior."--_Britannia_.
+

+AND NEW TESTAMENT. By the Rev. A.J. MACLEANE, M.A., Trinity College,
+Cambridge, Principal of Brighton College.
+
+     "We can recommend it not only as an answer to charges and
+     insinuations, but also as an able and clear exposition of the
+     meeting point of the Jewish and Christian dispensations; a distinct
+     and lucid delineation, amidst apparent divergencies, of the
+     coincidences of the animating principles of the law and the
+     gospel."--_Christian Observer_.

+late Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge.

+
+By the Rev. A.J. MACLEANE, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge; Principal
+of Brighton College: Author of "The Unity of God's Moral Law, as
+revealed in the Old and New Testament."
+
+     "This volume of sermons is of a different stamp from the generality
+     of those which come under our notice. There is a vigour of thought
+     and language throughout, without the slightest extravagance or
+     exaggeration. There is no far-fetched strain of reasoning, nor any
+     attempt at fine writing in these discourses; but the mind of the
+     reader is directed, by a well-managed series of divisions, to the
+     principal doctrines and duties derivable from the passages under
+     consideration. These sermons will afford to the young clergyman
+     excellent examples of the kind of composition which is calculated
+     to render his pulpit-ministration effectual."--_English Review_.

+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

+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 MERCHANTIBILITY 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, is 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 web page at https://www.pglaf.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.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  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.

+
+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 https://pglaf.org
+
+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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.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 thirty 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.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://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.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year. For example:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
+
+An alternative method of locating eBooks:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL

+<h3>DOMINGO LOMELYN, JESTER TO HENRY VIII.</h3>
+
+<p>Shakespeare, in the <i>Second Part of Henry IV.</i>
+act v. sc. 3 makes Silence sing the following
+scrap:&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem">  <div class="stanza">
+<p>"Do me right,</p>
+<p>And dub me knight:</p>
+<p><i>Samingo</i>."</p>
+  </div>  </div>
+
+<p>And Nash, in his <i>Summer's Last Will and Testament</i>,
+1600 (reprinted in the last edition of
+Dodsley's <i>Old Plays</i>, vol. xi. p. 47.) has</p>
+
+<div class="poem">  <div class="stanza">
+<p>"Monsieur Mingo for quaffing doth surpass,</p>
+<p>In cup, in can, or glass;</p>
+<p>God Bacchus, do me right,</p>
+<p>And dub me knight,</p>
+<p><i>Domingo</i>"</p>
+  </div>  </div>
+
+<p>T. Warton, in a note in vol. xvii. of the <i>Variorum</i>
+Shakespeare, says, "<i>Samingo</i>, that is <i>San Domingo</i>,
+as some of the commentators have observed. But
+what is the meaning and propriety of the name
+here, has not yet been shown. Justice Silence is
+here introduced as in the midst of his cups; and I
+remember a black-letter ballad, in which either a
+<i>San Domingo</i> or a <i>Signior Domingo</i>, is celebrated
+for his miraculous feats in drinking. Silence, in
+the abundance of his festivity, touches upon some
+old song, in which this convivial <i>saint</i>, or <i>signior</i>,
+was the burden. Perhaps, too, the pronounciation
+in here suited to the character." I must own that
+I cannot see what San Domingo has to do with a
+drinking song. May it not be an allusion to a
+ballad or song on <i>Domingo</i>, one of King Henry
+the Eighth's jesters?</p>
+
+<div class="poem">  <div class="stanza">
+<p>"&mdash;<i>Domyngo Lomelyn</i>,</p>
+<p>That was wont to wyn</p>
+<p>Moche money of the kynge,</p>
+<p>At the cardys and haserdynge."</p>
+<p>Skelton's <i>Why come ye not to Courte</i>,</p>
+<p>ed. Dyce, ii. p. 63.</p>
+  </div>  </div>
+
+<p>None of the commentators have noticed this, but
+I think my suggestion carries with it some weight.</p>
+
+<p>In the <i>Privy Purse Expenses of King Henry the
+Eighth</i> (published by Sir H. Nichols, in 1827),
+are many entries concerning this <i>Domingo</i>, most
+of which relate to payments of money that he had
+won from the king at cards and dice. He was
+evidently, as Sir Harris Nichols observes, one of
+King Henry's "diverting vagabonds," and seems
+to have accompanied his majesty wherever he
+went, for we find that he was with him at Calais
+in 1532. In all these entries he is only mentioned
+as Domingo; his surname, and the fact of his
+being a Lombard, we learn from Skelton's poem,
+mentioned above.</p>
+
+<p>The following story, told of <i>Domingo</i>, occurs in
+Mr. (afterwards Sir John) Harington's <i>Treatise
+on Playe</i>, 1597, printed in the <i>Nugae Antiquae</i>,
+edit. Park, vol. i. p.222.:&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"The other tale I wold tell of a willinge and wise
+loss I have hearde dyversly tolde. Some tell it of
+Kyng Phillip and a favoryte of his; some of our
+worthy King Henry VIII. and <i>Domingo</i>; and I may
+call it a tale; becawse perhappes it is but a tale, but
+thus they tell it:&mdash;The kinge, 55 eldest hand, set up
+all restes, and discarded flush; <i>Domingo</i> or <i>Dundego</i>
+(call him how you will), helde it upon 49, or som
+such game; when all restes were up and they had discarded,
+the kinge threw his 55 on the boord open,
+with great lafter, supposing the game (as it was) in a
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="page194" id="page194"></a>{194}</span>
+manner sewer. <i>Domingo</i> was at his last carde incownterd
+flush, as the standers by saw, and tolde the
+day after; but seeing the king so mery, would not for
+a reste at primero, put him owt of that pleasawnt
+conceyt, and put up his cardes quietly, yielding it
+lost."
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>Park was not acquainted with any particulars
+of this <i>Domingo Lomelyn</i>, for he says, in a note,
+"Query, jester to the king?"</p>
+
+<p>The first epigram in Samuel Rowland's entertaining
+tract, <i>The Letting of Humours Blood in
+the Head-waine</i>, &amp;c. 1600, is upon "Monsieur
+Domingo;" but whether it relates to King Henry's
+jester is a matter of some question.</p>

+<h3>MARLOWE AND THE OLD "TAMING OF A SHREW."</h3>
+
+<p>Having only just observed an announcement of
+a new edition of the works of Marlowe, I take the
+earliest opportunity of calling the attention of the
+editor to a circumstance which it is important
+that he should know, and the knowledge of which,&mdash;should
+it have escaped his notice, as it has that
+of all other writers on the subject,&mdash;I trust may
+not be too late for his present purpose. Without
+farther preface, I will introduce the subject, by
+asking Mr. Dyce to compare two passages which
+I shall shortly point out; and, having done so, I
+think he will agree with me in the opinion that
+the internal evidence, relating to our old dramatic
+literature, cannot have been very much studied,
+while such a discovery as he will then make still
+remained to be made. The first passage is from the
+so-called <i>old "Taming of a Shrew"</i> (six old plays,
+1779, p. 161.), and runs as follows:&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem">  <div class="stanza">
+<p>"Now that the gloomy shadow of the night,</p>
+<p>Longing to view Orion's drisling looks,</p>
+<p>Leaps from th'Antarctic world unto the sky,</p>
+<p>And dims the welkin with her pitchy breath;"</p>
+  </div>  </div>
+
+<p>the second is from <i>Doctor Faustus</i> (Marlowe's
+Works, vol. ii. p. 127.), which, however, I shall
+save myself the trouble of transcribing; as, with
+the exception of "look" for "looks," in the second
+line, and "his" for "her," in the fourth, the two
+passages will be found identical. Being, some
+years ago, engaged, in connection with the first of
+these plays, in the pursuit of a very different
+object,&mdash;in which I cannot say that I altogether
+failed, and the result of which I may take an opportunity
+of communicating,&mdash;I made a note of
+the above; and at the same time followed it up by
+a general examination of the style of Marlowe.
+And, to make a long matter short, I may say that
+in this examination, besides meeting with a dozen
+instances of the identity of the writer of passages
+in the <i>Taming of a Shrew</i> and of passages in
+Marlowe's two plays, <i>Doctor Faustus</i> and <i>Tamburlaine</i>,
+I found such general resemblance in style as
+left no doubt upon my mind that, if one of these
+plays be his acknowledged work, as indisputable
+will be his claim to the other two. I was not
+aware at that time of the evidence, in Henslow's
+<i>Diary</i>, of Marlowe's authorship of <i>Tamburlaine</i>;
+but, so far from considering it inferior, I was inclined
+to place it, in some important respects, at
+the very head of his plays.</p>
+
+<p>I will not take up your space now with the
+parallel passages which I noted; but, should you
+wish it, and be able to make room for them, I will
+furnish you with a list. It is, of course, obvious
+that the one I have quoted proves nothing by
+itself; accumulated instances, in connection with
+the general question of style, alone become important.
+I will conclude, by giving a list which I
+have made out of Marlowe's plays, in favour of
+which I conceive there to be either internal or
+external evidence:&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"Locrine.</p>
+
+<p>Tamburlaine the Great (two parts).</p>
+
+<p>Jew of Malta.</p>
+
+<p>Doctor Faustus.</p>
+
+<p>Edward the Second.</p>
+
+<p>Massacre of Paris.</p>

+<h3>BEETLE MYTHOLOGY.</h3>
+
+<p>Mr. Editor,&mdash;I never thought of asking my
+Low-Norman fellow-rustics whether the ladybird
+had a name and a legend in the best preserved
+of the northern Romance dialects: on the
+score of a long absence (eight-and-twenty years),
+might not a veteran wanderer plead forgiveness?
+Depend upon it, Sir, nevertheless, that should
+any reminiscences exist among my chosen friends,
+the stout-hearted and industrious tenants of a soil
+where every croft and paddock is the leaf of a
+chronicle, it will be communicated without delay.
+There is more than usual attractiveness in the astronomical
+German titles of this tiny "red chafer,"
+or <i>rother kaefer</i>, SONNEN KAEFER and VNSER
+FRAWEN KVHLEIN, the Sun-chafer, and our Lady's
+little cow. (<i>Isis</i> or <i>Io?</i>)</p>
+
+<p>With regard to its provincial English name,
+<i>Barnabee</i>, the correct interpretation might be
+found in <i>Barn-bie</i>, the burning, or fire-fly, a compound
+word of Low-Dutch origin.</p>
+
+<p>We have a small black beetle, common enough
+in summer, called PÂN, nearly hemispherical: you
+must recollect that the <i>â</i> is as broad as you can
+afford to make it, and the final <i>n</i> is nasal. Children
+never forgot, whenever they caught this beetle, to
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="page195" id="page195"></a>{195}</span>
+place it in the palm of their left hand, when it was
+invoked as follows:&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem">  <div class="stanza">
+<p class="i2">"PÂN, PÂN, mourtre mé ten sang,</p>
+<p class="i2">Et j'te doűrai de bouan vin blianc!"</p>
+  </div>  </div>
+
+<p>which means, being interpreted,</p>
+
+<div class="poem">  <div class="stanza">
+<p class="i2">"PÂN, PÂN, show me thy blood,</p>
+<p class="i2">And I will give thee good white wine!"</p>
+  </div>  </div>
+
+<p>As he uttered the charm, the juvenile pontiff spat
+on poor Thammuz, till a torrent of blood, or
+what seemed such, "ran purple" over the urchin's
+fingers.</p>
+
+<p>Paul-Ernest Jablonski's numerous readers need
+not be told that the said beetle is an Egyptian
+emblem of the everlasting and universal soul, and
+that its temple is the equinoctial circle, the upper
+hemisphere.<a id="footnotetag1" name="footnotetag1"></a><a href="#footnote1"><sup>1</sup></a></p>
+
+<p>As a solar emblem, it offers an instructive object
+of inquiry to the judicious gleaners of the old
+world's fascinating nursery traditions. Sicilian
+Diodorus tells us that the earth's lover, Attis (or
+Adonis), after his resuscitation, acquired the divine
+title of PAPAN.<a id="footnotetag2" name="footnotetag2"></a><a href="#footnote2"><sup>2</sup></a> To hazard the inoffensive
+query, why one of our commonest great beetles is
+still allowed to figure under so distinguished a
+name, will therefore reflect no discredit upon a
+cautious student of nearly threescore years. The
+very Welsh talked, in William Baxter's time, of
+"Heaven, as <i>bugarth</i> PAPAN," the sun's ox-stall or
+resting-place; and here you likewise find his
+beetle-majesty, in a Low-Norman collection of
+insular rhymes:&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem">  <div class="stanza">
+<p class="i2">"Sus l'bord piâsottaient, côte-ŕ-côte,</p>
+<p class="i2"> Les équerbots et leas PAPANS,</p>
+<p class="i2"> Et ratte et rat laissaient leux crotte</p>
+<p class="i2"> Sus les vieilles casses et męme dedans."<a id="footnotetag3" name="footnotetag3"></a><a href="#footnote3"><sup>3</sup></a></p>
+  </div>  </div>
+
+<p>By the help of Horapollo, Chiflet's gnostic gems,
+and other repertories of the same class, one might,
+peradventure, make a tolerable case in favour of
+the mythological identity of the legend of Ladybird&mdash;that
+is, the <i>sun-chafer</i>, or <i>barn-bie</i>, the <i>fire-fly</i>,
+"whose house is burnt, and whose bairns are
+ten," of course the first ten days of the Egyptian
+year<a id="footnotetag4" name="footnotetag4"></a><a href="#footnote4"><sup>4</sup></a>&mdash;with the mystical stories of the said black
+or dark blue lords of radiance, <i>Pân</i> and <i>Papân</i>.</p>
+
+<p>The Egyptians revere the beetle as a living and
+breathing image of the sun, quoth Porphyry.<a id="footnotetag5" name="footnotetag5"></a><a href="#footnote5"><sup>5</sup></a>
+That will account for this restless delver's extraordinary
+talismanic renown. I think the lady-bird
+is "the speckled beetle" which was flung in hot
+water to avert storms.<a id="footnotetag6" name="footnotetag6"></a><a href="#footnote6"><sup>6</sup></a> Pignorius gives us the
+figure of the beetle, crowned with the sun, and encircled
+with the serpent of eternity; while another,
+an onyx in the collection of Abraham Gorlćus,
+threatens to gnaw at a thunderbolt.<a id="footnotetag7" name="footnotetag7"></a><a href="#footnote7"><sup>7</sup></a></p>
+
+<p>Reuven's book on the Egyptian Museum, which
+I have not seen, notices an invocation to "the
+winged beetle, the monarch ([Greek: tyrannos]) of mid-heaven,"
+concluding with a devout wish that some
+poor creature "may be dashed to pieces."</p>
+
+<p>Can any of your readers inform me what is
+meant by "the blood of the <i>Phuôn</i>?"</p>
+
+<p>Yours truly, </p>

+<h3>NOTES UPON CUNNINGHAM'S HANDBOOK FOR LONDON.</h3>
+
+<p><i>The Bagnio in Long Acre.</i>&mdash;Mr. Cunningham
+mentions the Queen's Bagnio in Long Acre.
+Query, was this the same as the Duke of York's
+Bagnio? S. Haworth published, in a small 12mo.
+volume, without date, "A Description of the
+Duke of York's Bagnio, in Long Acre, and of the
+Mineral Bath and new Spaw thereunto belonging."</p>
+
+<p><i>Tavistock Street, Covent Garden.</i>&mdash;Richard
+Leveridge, the celebrated singer, after his retirement
+from the stage, kept a tavern in this street.
+Here he brought out "A Collection of Songs,
+with the Music, by Mr. Leveridge. In two
+volumes. London, Engrav'd and Printed for the
+Author in Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, 1727."
+The frontispiece was designed and engraved by
+Hogarth.</p>
+
+<p><i>Duke Street, Westminster.</i>&mdash;Miss Hawkins, in
+her <i>Anecdotes</i>, p. 186., speaking of Lady Lucy
+Meyrick, says, "On quitting her husband's family,
+she came to reside in Duke Street, Westminster,
+and lived in that house which had been <i>Prior's</i>,
+and which <i>exactly faces Charles Street</i>."</p>
+
+<p><i>Richmond Buildings, Soho.</i>&mdash;Horne Tooke
+resided here in 1775. He afterwards removed to
+Frith Street.</p>
+
+<p><i>Clare Market</i>, originally called <i>New Market</i>,
+was established about the year 1660, by Lord
+Clare.</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"The city and my lord had a great lawsuit, which
+lasted many years, to the great expence of the city;
+but from the inequity of the times the city and my
+lord agreed, and gave it up to the lord; and now it is
+become one of the greatest markets in the adjacent
+parts; and from the success of this noble lord, they
+have got several charters for the erecting of several
+others since the year 1660; as that of St. James, by
+the Earl of St. Alban's; Bloomsbury, by the Earl of
+Southampton; Brook Market, by the Lord Brook;
+Hungerford Market; Newport Market; besides the
+Hay Market, New Charingcross, and that at Petty
+France at Westminster, with their Mayfair in the fields
+behind Piccadilly."&mdash;<i>Harl. MS</i>. 5900.
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<p><i>London House Yard.</i>&mdash;Here was formerly the
+town house of the Bishop of London, which, being
+consumed in the great fire, the house in
+Aldersgate Street, formerly called <i>Petre House</i>, was
+rented for the town residence of the bishop, since
+which it obtained the title of <i>London House</i>.</p>

+<h3>AELFRIC'S COLLOQUY.</h3>
+
+<p>The singular error which Messrs. Lye and
+Thorpe have fallen in the passage pointed out by
+Mr. Hampson in Aelfric's very interesting <i>Colloquy</i>,
+is the more remarkable as Aelfric himself
+afforded a complete illustration of the passage, in
+his <i>Glossary</i>, where we have "BULGA, <i>hýdig-faet</i>."
+It is possible, therefore, that <i>higdifatu</i> is a mere
+error of the scribe. Now Du Cange, v. <i>Bulga</i>,
+cites this very passage from Aelfric's <i>Glossary</i>,
+and adds, "i.e. <i>vas ex corio confectum</i>," but his
+whole article is worth consulting. That the Latin
+word in the <i>Colloquy</i> should be <i>Cassidilia</i> is quite
+clear. Thus in an old MS. English Gloss on the
+Bible (penes me), the passage in Tobit, viii. 2.,
+"Protulit de <i>Cassidili</i> suo," is rendered, "brouzt
+forth of his <i>Scrippe</i>." Coverdale has it, "take out
+of his <i>bagge</i>," and Luther, "langte aus seinem
+<i>Sücklein</i>," which word is exchanged for <i>büdel</i> in
+the Saxon version. In two old Teutonic Glosses
+on the Bible published by Graff (<i>Diutiska</i>, ii. 178.),
+we have the following variations:&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem">  <div class="stanza">
+<p><i>de cassidi</i> burssa, <i>de sacello t. sacciperio</i> kiula</p>
+<p><i>de cassili</i> burissa, <i>de sacello t. sacciperio</i> kiulla.</p>
+  </div>  </div>
+
+<p>Another Gloss in Graff's 1st vol. p. 192., on the
+word <i>Cadus</i>, may perhaps throw some light on the
+subject. The philological student need not be reminded
+of the wide application of the word <i>vas</i>,
+Lat., <i>fazz</i>, O.G., and <i>faet</i>. A.S.; but for my own
+part, I conclude that the shoewright intended
+to designate by <i>higdifatu</i> all sorts of <i>leathern budgets</i>.
+Every Anglo-Saxon student must be so
+sensible of the great obligation he is under to our
+distinguished scholar Mr. Thorpe, that I trust it
+will not be deemed invidious or ungracious to
+point out another passage in this <i>Colloquy</i> which
+seems to have hitherto baffled him, but which it
+appears to me may be elucidated.</p>
+
+<p>To the question, "Hwilce fixas gefehst thu?"
+the fisherman answers, "Aelas aud hacodas, mynas,
+aud aelputan, sceotan aud lampredan, aud
+swa hwylce swa on waetere swymath, <i>sprote</i>."</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Thorpe, in the 1st edition of his <i>Analecta</i>,
+says, "What is intended to be meant by this word
+[<i>sprote</i>], as well as by <i>salu</i> [the correspondent
+word in the Latin], I am at a loss to conjecture."
+In his second edition, Mr. Thorpe repeats, "I am
+unable to explain <i>salu</i> otherwise than by supposing
+it may be an error for <i>salice</i>. In his <i>Glossary</i> he
+has "spro't, ii. 2.? sprout, rod?" with a reference
+to his note. I must confess I cannot see how the
+substitution of <i>salice</i> for <i>salu</i> would make the passage
+more intelligible, and the explanation of
+<i>spro'te</i> in the <i>Glossary</i> does not help us. The
+sense required appears to me to be, <i>quickly, swiftly,</i>
+and this will, I think, be found to be the meaning
+of <i>sprote</i>. In the Moeso-Gothic Gospels the word
+<i>sprauto</i> occurs several times and always in the sense
+of <i>cito, subito</i>; and though we have hitherto, I believe,
+no other example in Anglo-Saxon of this adverbial
+use of the word, we are warranted, I think,
+in concluding, from the analogy of a cognate language,
+that it did exist. In regard to the evidently
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="page198" id="page198"></a>{198}</span>
+corrupt Latin word <i>salu</i>, I have nothing better to
+offer than the forlorn conjecture that, in monkish
+Latin, "<i>saltu't</i>" may have been contractedly written
+for <i>saltuatim</i>."</p>
+
+<p>Dr. Leo, in his <i>Angelsâchsiche Sprachproben</i>,
+has reprinted the <i>Colloquy</i>, but without the Latin,
+and, among many other capricious deviations from
+Mr. Thorpe's text, in the answer of the shoewright
+has printed <i>hygefata</i>! but does not notice the
+word in his <i>Glossary</i>. Herr Leo has entirely
+omitted the word <i>sprote</i>.</p>

+of that day had brought his invention, by the same
+energy by which his successor has raised THE TIMES
+to its present position, is shown by the following note
+from a kind and most able correspondent.]
+</p>
+
+<p>A much more remarkable specimen of Logographic
+Printing than the number of the <i>Times</i>
+newspaper mentioned by NASO, No. 9., p. 136., is
+an edition of Anderson's <i>History of Commerce</i>,
+with a continuation, in 4 vols. 4to., printed by
+that method in 1787-1789, "at the Logographic
+Press, by J. Walter, Printing-House Square,

+much short of 4000 pages, is very well printed in
+all respects; and the following interesting note on
+the subject of Logographic Printing is attached to
+the preface heading the Continuation, or fourth
+volume.</p>
+
+<p>"Mr. Walter cannot here omit suggesting to the
+Public a few observations on his improved mode of
+printing LOGOGRAPHICALLY. In all projects for the
+general benefit, the individual who conceives that the
+trade in which he is engaged diminishes in its emoluments
+from any improvement which another may produce
+in it, is too much disposed to become its enemy;
+and, perhaps, the interest of individuals never exerted
+itself with more inveteracy than has been experienced
+by Mr. Walter from many concerned in the trade into
+which he had entered.</p>
+
+<p>"The invention which he brought forward, promised
+to be of essential service to the public, by expediting
+the process and lessening the expense of printing. Dr.
+Franklin sanctioned it with his approbation, and Sir
+Joseph Banks encouraged him with the most decided
+and animated opinion of the great advantages which
+would arise to literature from the LOGOGRAPHIC PRESS.
+Nevertheless Mr. Walter was left to struggle with the
+interest of some, and the prejudice of others, and,
+though he was honoured by the protection of several
+persons of high rank, it happened in his predicament,
+as it generally happens in predicaments of a similar
+nature, that his foes were more active than his friends,
+and he still continued to struggle with every difficulty
+that could arise from a very determined opposition
+to, and the most illiberal misrepresentations of, the
+LOGOGRAPHIC IMPROVEMENT.</p>
+
+<p>"Mr. Walter has, however, at length triumphed over
+the falsehood and malignity of his opponents; LOGOGRAPHIC
+PRINTING, after having produced such a work
+as this, which he now presents to the public, with
+many excellent publications that he has already printed,
+can no longer be considered as an idle speculation: on
+the contrary, it is proved to be a practical improvement,
+that promises, under a due encouragement, to
+produce a great national benefit. To advance it to
+the perfection of which it is capable, Mr. Walter engages
+to employ his utmost exertions, and he takes the
+liberty of expressing his confidence, that he shall not
+be disappointed in the enjoyment of that public favour
+which now promises to reward his labours."</p>

+<h3>MEMORIALS OF THE DUKE OF MONMOUTH'S LAST DAYS.<a id="footnotetag9" name="footnotetag9"></a><a href="#footnote9"><sup>9</sup></a></h3>
+
+<p>At a recent meeting of the Royal Irish Academy
+in Dublin, Dr. Anster exhibited a manuscript
+volume of 157 pages, which he declared to be the
+identical "album filled with songs, recipes, prayers,
+and charms," found in the Duke of Monmouth's
+pocket when he was seized. It was purchased at
+a book-stall in Paris in 1827 by an Irish divinity
+student, was given by him to a priest in the county
+of Kerry, and, on the priest's death, became the
+property of the present possessor. Respecting in its
+identity and history, from its removal from the rebel
+duke's pocket down to its production at the
+Royal Irish Academy, Dr. Anster showed that
+after Monmouth was beheaded&mdash;which he was on
+Tower Hill, by the too-celebrated John Ketch, on
+the 15th July, 1685&mdash;the articles found on his
+person were given to the king. At James's deposition,
+three years afterwards, all his manuscripts,
+including those that had belonged to Monmouth,
+were carried into France, where they remained
+till the Revolution in that country a century afterwards.
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="page199" id="page199"></a>{199}</span>
+Dr Anster, in exhibiting the book, showed
+that the remains of silver clasps had been destroyed,
+and a part of the leather of the covers at
+each side torn away, seemingly for the purpose
+of removing some name on a coat of arms
+with which it had been once marked; and this he
+accounted for by the belief that at the period of
+the French Revolution the persons in whose custody
+they were, being fearful of the suspicions
+likely to arise from their possession of books with
+royal arms on them, tore off the covers, and sent
+the books to St. Omer's. The after-fate of the
+larger books was, that they were burned; some
+small ones, we are distinctly told, were saved from
+this fate, but seem to have been disregarded, and
+all trace of them lost. The Abbé Waters&mdash;a collateral
+descendant of Lucy Waters, the Duke of
+Monmouth's mother&mdash;was the person with whom
+George IV. negotiated for the Stuart papers, and
+from whom the volumes which have since appeared
+as Clark's <i>Life of James the Second</i> were obtained;
+and it is from the Abbé Waters we have
+the account of the destruction of King James's
+autograph papers. Dr. Anster showed, written
+on the inner cover of this volume, the words,
+"Baron Watiers" or "Watrers."</p>
+
+<p>As to the identity of the book, Dr. Anster
+quoted several passages from contemporary authors
+to test their account of the contents of the
+"album" with those of the book he was describing.
+In the <i>Harleian Miscellany</i>, vol. vi. p.323.,
+it is stated in Sir John Reresby's memoirs, that
+"out of his [Monmouth's] pocket were taken
+books, in his own handwriting, containing charms
+or spells to open the doors of a prison, to obviate
+the danger of being wounded in battle, together
+with songs and prayers." Barillon describes the
+book in what is nearly a translation of this&mdash;"Il
+y avoit des secrets de magie et d'enchantment,
+avec des chansons des recettes pour des maladies
+et des prieres." Again, in a note by Lord Dartmouth
+to the modern editions of <i>Burnet's Own
+Times</i>, we have the following statement:&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"My uncle Colonel William Legge, who went in
+the coach with him [Monmouth] to London as a guard,
+with orders to stab him if there were any disorders on
+the road, showed me several charms that were tied
+about him when he was taken, and his table-book,
+which was full of astrological figures that nobody could
+understand; but he told my uncle that they had been
+given to him some years before in Scotland, and he
+now found they were but foolish conceits."
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>The actual contents of the manuscript volume
+show a great resemblance to these descriptions.
+The most curious passages which it contains are
+the duke's memorandums of his journey on two
+visits to the Prince of Orange, in the year previous
+to his last rash adventure. His movements
+up to the 14th of March, 1684-85, are given. The
+entries do not seem to be of much moment; but
+they may accidentally confirm or disprove some
+disputed points of history. There is an entry
+without a date, describing the stages of a journey
+in England, commencing with London and Hampstead:
+it ends with Toddington. This forms a
+strong link in the chain of identity; for Toddington
+is a place remarkable in the history of the
+duke. Near it was the residence of Lady Henrietta
+Maria Wentworth, baroness (in her own
+right) of Nettlestead, only daughter and heir of
+Thomas Lord Wentworth, grandchild and heir of
+the Earl of Cleveland. Five years before the
+execution, her mother observed that, despite the
+duke being a married man, her daughter had,
+while at court, attracted his admiration, and she
+hurried her away to Toddington. In 1683, after
+the failure of the Rye-House Plot, Monmouth was
+banished from the royal presence, and it was to
+Toddington he retired. When, on retracting the
+confession he had made on the occasion, he
+was banished the kingdom, the companion of his
+exile was Lady Henrietta Wentworth.</p>
+
+<p>"I dwell on this," said Dr. Anster, "because the
+accidental mention of Toddington seems to authenticate
+the book: the name of Lady Henrietta Wentworth
+does not occur in it, and the persons in whose
+hands the book has been since it was purchased in
+Paris do not seem to have noticed the name of Toddington,
+or to have known that it had any peculiar
+relation to the duke's history. It occurs twice in the
+book&mdash;once in the itinerary, and again in a trifling
+and unmetrical song, which is probably the duke's own
+composition; written probably on the eve of his flight
+with his romantic but guilty companion to Holland:&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem">  <div class="stanza">
+<p class="i2">"'With joy we leave thee,</p>
+<p class="i2">False world, and do forgive</p>
+<p class="i2">All thy false treachery.</p>
+<p class="i2">For now we'll happy live.</p>
+<p class="i2">We'll to our bowers,</p>
+<p class="i2">And there spend our hours;</p>
+<p class="i2">Happy there we'll be,</p>
+<p class="i2">We no strifes can see;</p>
+<p class="i2">No quarrelling for crowns,</p>
+<p class="i2">Nor fear the great one's frowns;</p>
+<p class="i2">Nor slavery of state,</p>
+<p class="i2">Nor changes in our fate.</p>
+<p class="i2">From plots this place is free,</p>
+<p class="i2">There we'll ever be;</p>
+<p class="i2">We'll sit and bless our stars</p>
+<p class="i2">That from the noise of wars</p>
+<p class="i2">Did this glorious place give</p>
+<p class="i2">(Or did us Toddington give)</p>
+<p class="i2">That thus we happy live.'"</p>
+  </div>  </div>
+
+<p>In Macaulay's history we find that the latest
+act of the duke on the scaffold, before submitting
+to the stroke of the executioner, was to call his
+servant, and put into the man's hand a toothpick-case,
+the last token of ill-starred love. "Give it,"
+he said, "<i>to that person!</i>" After the description
+of Monmouth's burial occurs the following affecting
+passage:&mdash;</p>
+
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="page200" id="page200"></a>{200}</span>
+<blockquote><p>
+"Yet a few months and the quiet village of Toddington,
+in Bedfordshire, witnessed a yet sadder funeral.
+Near that village stood an ancient and stately
+hall, the seat of the Wentworths. The transept of the
+parish church had long been their burial-place. To
+that burial-place, in the spring which followed the
+death of Monmouth, was borne the coffin of the young
+Baroness Wentworth of Nettlestead. Her family
+reared a sumptuous mausoleum over her remains; but
+a less costly memorial of her was long contemplated
+with far deeper interest: her name, carved by the hand
+of him she loved too well, was, a few years ago, still
+discernible on a tree in the adjoining park."
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>In further proof of identity, Dr. Anster pointed
+out several charms and recipes which the manuscript
+volume contains. The conjurations are in
+general for the purpose of learning the results of
+sickness in any particular case, and of determining
+whether friends will be in certain circumstances
+faithful. There are also incantations for the use
+of several maladies, and one to make gray hair
+grow black. No "charms against being wounded
+in battle," such are Sir John Reresby mentions,
+are to be found in the volume; but there are some
+prayers against violent death, which have the appearance
+of having been transcribed from some
+devotional book. There is evidently a mistake
+in supposing that this book contains any charm for
+breaking open prison doors, and it is likely that
+Sir John Reresby was misled in this way:&mdash;There
+is in p. 7. a charm in French to procure repose
+of body and mind, and deliverance from pains;
+and the word for "pains" is written in a contracted
+form; it might as well stand for prisons;
+but, examining the context, it is plainly the former
+word which is meant.</p>
+
+<p>The rest of the entries consist of extracts from
+old recipe-books, mixed in the oddest way with
+abridgements of English history, and the most
+trifling memorandums, chiefly of a private and
+personal kind. Altogether, this commonplace work
+is highly indicative of the weakness, vanity, and
+superstition which stood forward so prominently
+in the character of the rash but unfortunate Duke
+of Monmouth.</p>

+<h2>QUERIES.</h2>
+
+<h3>CATHERINE PEGGE.</h3>
+
+<p>Mr. Cunningham was mistaken in supposing
+that I had overlooked Catherine Pegge, for I was
+well aware that she could not have been Pepys's
+"pretty Lady." She must, in fact, have attained
+her fortieth year, and there is no record of her
+being on the stage; whereas Margaret Hughes
+had, when Pepys saluted her, recently joined the
+Theatre Royal, and she is expressly styled "Peg
+Hughes" by Tom Browne, in one of his "Letters
+from the Dead to the Living." Having disposed of
+this question, I am tempted to add that Morant
+does not confirm the statement that Catherine
+Pegge married Sir Edward Green, for he says that</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"Sir Edward Greene, created a Baronet, 26 July,
+1660, was seated at Little Sampford in Essex; he had
+3 wives, the first was Jeronyma, daughter and coheir
+of William Everard, of Linsted, Esq., and by her he
+had 6 daughters; by Mary, daughter of &mdash;&mdash; Tasborough,
+he had a son; and by the third lady &mdash;&mdash;, daughter of
+&mdash;&mdash; Simonds, he had a daughter. He was the last of
+the Greenes that enjoyed this estate, having lost it by
+gaming."&mdash;Morant's <i>Essex</i>, vol. ii. p. 525.
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>This account of the Greene family is stated in a
+note to have been taken from a fine pedigree on
+vellum, penes T. Wotton, Gent.</p>
+
+<p>If Catherine Pegge was one the three ladies
+mentioned above, she must have changed her name
+previously to her marriage, in hopes of concealing
+her former history; but the circumstance of the
+baronetcy being conferred upon Sir Edward is
+very suspicious. Probably some of your correspondents
+can settle the question.</p>

+<h3>WILLIAM BASSE, AND HIS POEMS.</h3>
+
+<p>Can any of your readers inform me where a
+perfect or imperfect copy is to be found of a poem,
+of which I possess only a single half sheet, under
+the following title:&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"<i>Great Brittaines Sunnes-set, bewailed with a
+Shower of Teares</i>. By William Basse. At Oxford,
+Printed by Ioseph Barnes. 1613"?
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>It is one of the many poems published on the
+death of Prince Henry; and although I have been
+in search of it, or of a fragment of it, for more
+than twenty years, I have never been able to
+obtain tidings of more than of that small portion
+in my possession; nor am I aware of the
+mention of it in any bibliographical authority.
+I have not at hand Sir H. Nicolas's edition of
+Walton's <i>Angler</i>, in which Basse is spoken of, but
+I remember looking at that beautiful and costly
+work a long time ago, and, as far as I recollect,
+not finding in it anything to my purpose. I observe
+that a William Basse (or <i>Bas</i>, as the name
+is there spelt) printed in 1602, 4to., a tract called
+<i>Sword and Buckler, or Serving Man's Defence</i>;
+but I know no more of it than that it was sold in
+Steevens's sale; and among the MSS. of the late
+Mr. Heber was a volume of poems called <i>Polyhymnia</i>,
+apparently prepared for the press, and
+dedicated by William Basse to Lady Lindsey,
+which contained an "Elegie on a rare Singing
+Bull-finch," dated 19th June, 1648; so that he
+was still living nearly half a century after he had
+printed his earliest known performance.</p>
+
+<p>The production that Izaac Walton refers to
+must be the ballad preserved in the Pepys Collection
+at Cambridge, under the heading "Maister
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="page201" id="page201"></a>{201}</span>
+Basse his Careere, or the new Hunting of the
+Hare. To a new Court tune;" and beginning&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem">  <div class="stanza">
+<p>"Long ere the morne expects the returne."</p>
+  </div>  </div>
+
+<p>It was "Printed at London by E.A.," <i>i.e.</i> Edward
+Allde, without date; and it may have been duly
+noticed by the last editor of <i>The Complete Angler</i>.
+However, neither this nor Heber's MS. throw
+any new light upon the small tract (in 8vo., and
+of perhaps not more than two sheets) with the
+title of which I commenced, and regarding which
+I request information. It is a poem in eight-line
+stanzas, and it is dedicated, at the back of the
+title-page, "To his honourable Master, Sir Richard
+Wenman, Knight," without another word addressed
+to his patron.</p>
+
+<p>My fragment of four leaves, or half an 8vo.
+sheet, contains stanzas (one on each page), numbered
+5, 6, 7, 8. 13, 14.; and the earliest of them
+is this:&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem">  <div class="stanza">
+<p class="i2">"To you I therefore weepe: To you alone</p>
+<p class="i2">I shew the image of your teares, in mine;</p>
+<p class="i2">That mine (by shewing your teares) may be show'n</p>
+<p class="i2">To be like yours, so faithfull so divine:</p>
+<p class="i2">Such as more make the publique woe their owne,</p>
+<p class="i2">Then their woe publique, such as not confine</p>
+<p>Themselves to times, nor yet forms from examples borrow:</p>
+<p>Where losse is infinit, there boundlesse is the sorrow."</p>
+  </div>  </div>
+
+<p>I have preserved even the printer's punctuation,
+for the sake of more perfect identification,
+if any of your readers are acquainted with the
+existence of a copy of the production, or of any
+portion of it. The above stanza, being numbered
+"5," of course it was preceded by four others, of
+which I can give no account. Another stanza,
+from this literary and bibliographical rarity, may
+not be unacceptable; it is the eighth&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem">  <div class="stanza">
+<p class="i2">"Here then run forth thou River of my woes</p>
+<p class="i2">In cease lesse currents of complaining verse:</p>
+<p class="i2">Here weepe (young Muse) while elder pens compose</p>
+<p class="i2">More solemne Rites unto his sacread Hearse.</p>
+<p class="i2">And, as when happy earth did, here, enclose</p>
+<p class="i2">His heavn'ly minde, his Fame then Heav'n did pierce.</p>
+<p>Now He in Heav'n doth rest, now let his Fame earth fill;</p>
+<p>So, both him then posses'd: so both possesse him still."</p>
+  </div>  </div>
+
+<p>Therefore, although Basse had written his <i>Sword
+and Buckler</i> in 1602 (if it were the same man), he
+still called his Muse "young" in 1613. I cannot
+call to mind any precedent for the form of stanza
+adopted by him, consisting, as it does, of six ten-
+syllable lines, rhyming alternately, followed by a
+twelve-syllable couplet. None of the other stanzas
+contain personal matter; the grief of the author
+of <i>Great Britain's Sun's-set</i> seems as artificial as
+might be expected; and his tears were probably
+brought to the surface by the usual pecuniary
+force-pump.</p>
+
+<p>I have some notion that William Basse was a
+musical composer, as well as a writer of verses;
+but here, again, I am at fault, and particularly
+request the aid of Dr. Rimbault, who has paid
+special attention to such matters, and who has just
+published a learned and valuable work on the
+music of the ballads in Percy's <i>Reliques</i>. If the
+volume were not so indisputably excellent in its
+kind, there are reasons, connected with its dedication,
+which might make me hesitate in giving it
+even a just tribute of praise.</p>

+<h3>MINOR QUERIES.</h3>
+
+<p><i>Christmas Hymn</i>.&mdash;Can any of your readers inform
+me who was the author of the well-known
+Christmas Hymn, "Hark the Herald Angels sing,"
+which is so often found (of course without the
+slightest shadow of authority), at the end of our
+Prayer-Books? In the collection of poems entitled
+<i>Christmas Tyde</i>, published by Pickering, the initials
+"J.C.W." are appended to it; the same in
+Bickersteth's <i>Hymn Book</i>. In the last number of
+the <i>Christian Remembrancer</i>, it is incorrectly attributed
+to Doddridge, who was the author of the
+other Christmas Hymn, "High let us swell our
+tuneful notes," frequently appended to Tate and
+Brady; as well as of the Sacramental Hymn, "My
+God and is Thy table spread?" If the author of
+this hymn cannot be determined, it would be interesting
+to know its probable date, and the time
+when this and the other unauthorised additions
+were made to our Prayer-Book. The case of
+Doddridge's hymn is more remarkable, as being
+the composition of a dissenter.</p>
+
+<p class="author">E.V.</p>
+
+<p><i>On a Passage in Pope</i>.&mdash;"P.C.S.S.," who is
+old-fashioned enough to admire and to study
+Pope, would feel greatly obliged if any of your
+correspondents could help him to the interpretation
+of the following lines, in the "Imitation" of
+Horace's <i>Epistle to Augustus</i>:&mdash;</p>
+
+<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
+<p>"The Hero William, and the Martyr Charles,</p>
+<p>One knighted Blackmore, and one pensioned Quarles,</p>
+<p>Which made old Ben, and sturdy Dennis swear,</p>
+<p><i>No Lord's Annointed, but a Russian bear!</i>"</p>
+</div></div>
+
+<p>The passage in Horace, of which this purports to
+be an "Imitation," is the well-known</p>
+
+<p class="poem">
+"Boeotum in crasso jurares äere natum,"
+</p>
+
+<p>and it is clear enough that Pope meant to represent
+kings Charles and William as so devoid of the
+taste which should guide royal patronage, that, in
+selecting such objects of their favour as Blackmore
+and Quarles, they showed themselves to be
+as uncouth and unpolished as the animal to which
+he likens them. But the principal motive of this
+inquiry is to ascertain whether there exist in
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="page202" id="page202"></a>{202}</span>
+their writings any record of the indignation supposed
+to have been expressed by Jonson and
+Dennis at the favour shown by majesty to their
+less worthy rivals.</p>
+
+<p class="author">P.C.S.S.</p>
+
+<p><i>Discovery of the Circulation of the Blood</i>.&mdash;
+There is a passage in Longinus (ch. xxii.), familiar
+perhaps to some of the readers of the "NOTES AND
+QUERIES," which indicates that the fact of the
+circulation of the blood was well established in the
+days of Plato. The father of critics, to exemplify,
+and illustrate the use and value of <i>trope</i> in
+writing, has garbled from the Timaeus, a number
+of sentences descriptive of the anatomy of the
+human body, where the circulation of the blood is
+pointed at in terms singularly graphic. The exact
+extent of professional knowledge arrived at in the
+time of the great philosopher is by no means
+clearly defined: he speaks of the fact, however,

+<p><i>Pandoxare</i>.&mdash;Having met with an old volume
+containing the entire household expenses, as well
+as in some degree a diary, kept by a country gentleman
+during the reigns of James II., William
+and Mary, and Anne, I observed that he has made
+use of a species of hieroglyphics, to facilitate his
+reference to his book, as it contained all the entries
+of all kinds, in chronological order. For instance,
+where mention is made of money spent on behalf
+of one person in his house, he puts at the side of
+the page a clay pipe, rudely drawn; an entry of
+the payment of wages to another servant has a jug
+of ale; another a quill pen; another a couple of
+brooms, as the housemaid; a fiddle for the dancing
+master for his daughter; payment made to the
+sexton or parish-clerk has a representation of the
+village church by its side, and the window-tax a
+small lattice-window; and on the days that they
+brewed, a small barrel is drawn by the side of the
+date. And the chief object of my letter is with
+respect to this last; a barrel is often drawn, and
+by its side the words, <i>primň relinitus</i>, and the date,
+naturally meaning the day it was tapped; and
+then shortly after comes another barrel, and to
+it is written the word <i>Pandox</i>., or sometimes in
+full <i>Pandoxavimus</i>; in some places at the end of
+the year there is a list to this effect:&mdash;</p>
+

+on the verse of the title-page of his treatise <i>De
+Captivitate Babylonica Ecclesiae</i>, 4to., s.l.v.a.;
+and that the wished-for representation of Erasmus
+may be seen in the small octavo volume, entitled
+<i>Bellaria Epistolarum Erasmi Rot. et Ambrosii Pelargi

+your readers will doubtless be acquainted with
+what seems to be a very accurate and complete

+Juncker, 8vo., Francof. 1699. In this work (p.129.)

+<p><i>Lacedaemonian Black Broth</i>.&mdash;Your correspondent
+"W." in No. 11., is amusing as well as
+instructive; but it does not yet appear that we
+must reject the notion of coffee as an ingredient
+of the Lacedaemonian black broth upon the score
+of <i>colour</i> or <i>taste</i>.</p>
+
+<p>That it <i>was</i> an ingredient has only as yet been
+mooted as a <i>probability</i>.</p>
+
+<p>Pollux, to whom your correspondent refers us,
+says that [Greek: zomos melas] was a Lacedaemonian food;
+and that it was called [Greek: aimatia], translated in Scott
+and Liddell's <i>Lexicon</i>, "<i>blood-broth</i>." These
+lexicographers add, "The Spartan black broth was
+made with blood," and refer to Manso's <i>Sparta</i>, a
+German work, which I have not the advantage of
+consulting.</p>
+
+<p>Gesner, in his <i>Thesaurus</i>, upon the word "jus,"
+quotes the known passage of Cicero, <i>Tusc. Disp</i>.
+v. 34., and thinks the "jus nigrum" was probably
+the [Greek: aimatia], and made with an admixture of blood,
+as the "botuli," the <i>black</i> puddings of modern
+time, were.</p>
+
+<p>Coffee would not be of much lighter colour than
+blood. A decoction of senna, though of a red-
+brown, is sometimes administered in medicine
+under the common name of a "<i>black</i> dose."</p>
+
+<p>As regards the <i>colour</i>, then, whether blood or
+coffee were the ingredient, the mess would be
+sufficiently dark to be called "<i>black</i>."</p>
+
+<p>In respect of <i>taste</i>, it is well known, from the
+story told by Cicero in the passage above referred
+to, that the Lacedaemonian black broth was <i>disagreeable</i>,
+at least to Dionysius, and the Lacedaemonians,
+who observed to him that he wanted that
+best of sauces, hunger, convey a confession that
+their broth was not easily relished.</p>
+
+<p>The same story is told with a little variation by
+Stobaeus, <i>Serm</i>. xxix., and Plutarch, <i>Institut. Lacon</i>., 2. The latter writer says, that the
+Syracusan, having tasted the Spartan broth, "spat it out
+in disgust," [Greek: dyscheranunta apoptusai].</p>
+
+<p>It would not have been unlike the Lacedaemonians
+purposely to have established a disagreeable
+viand in their system of public feeding. Men that
+used iron money to prevent the accumulation of
+wealth, and, as youths, had volunteered to be
+scourged, scratched, beat about, and kicked about,
+to inure them to pain, were just the persons to
+affect a nauseous food to discipline the appetite.</p>
+
+<p class="author">R.O.</p>
+
+<p><i>Lacedaemonian Black Broth</i>.&mdash;I should be glad
+to know in what passages of ancient authors the
+Lacedaemonian black broth is mentioned, and
+whether it is alluded to in such terms as to
+indicate the nature of the food. It has occurred to
+me that it is much more probable that it was the
+same <i>black broth</i> which is now cooked in Greece,
+where I have eaten of it and found it very good,
+although it looked as if a bottle of ink had been
+poured into the mess.</p>
+
+<p>The dish is composed of small cuttle-fish (with
+their ink-bags) boiled with rice or other vegetables.

+<p><i>Bigotry.</i>&mdash;The word Bigotry pervades almost
+all the languages of Europe, but its etymology has
+not been satisfactory to Noah Webster. The application
+of it is generally intelligible enough;
+being directed against those who pertinaciously
+adhere to their own system of religious faith. But
+as early as the tenth century it appears, that the
+use of the word Bigot originated in a circumstance,
+or incident, unconnected with religious
+views. An old chronicle, published by Duchesne
+in the 3rd vol. of his <i>Hist. Francorum Scriptores</i>,
+states that Rollo, on receiving Normandy from the
+King of France, or at least of that part of it, was
+called upon to kiss the foot of the king, a
+ceremony, it seems, in use not at the Vatican only;
+but he refused "unless the king would raise his
+foot to his mouth." When the counts in attendance
+admonished him to comply with this usual
+form of accepting so valuable a fief, he still declined,
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="page205" id="page205"></a>{205}</span>
+exclaiming in pure Anglo-Saxon, "Not
+He, By God,"&mdash;<i>Ne se bigoth</i>; "quod interpetatur,"
+says the chronicler, "non [ille] per Deum."
+The king and his peers, deriding him, called him
+afterwards Bigoth, or Bigot, instead of Rollo.
+"Unde Normanni," adds the writer, who brings
+his history down to the year 1137, "adhuc Bigothi
+dicuntur." This will account for the prepositive
+article "Le" prefixed to the Norman Bigods, the
+descendants of those who followed William the
+Conqueror into England, such as Hugh Le Bigod,
+&amp;c. Among other innovations in France, the
+word Bigotisme has been introduced, of which
+Boiste gives an example as combined with Philosophisme:&mdash;
+"Le Bigotisme n'est, comme le
+Philosophisme, qu'un Egoďsme systématique. Le
+Philosophisme et le Bigotisme se traitent comme
+les chiens et les loups; cependant leurs espčces se

+<p><i>Defoe's Tour through Great Britain</i>.&mdash;I am
+much obliged to your correspondent "D.S.Y" for
+the suggestion that the <i>Tour through Great
+Britain, by a Gentleman</i>, from which I sent you
+some extracts relating to the Ironworks of Sussex,
+is from the pen of Daniel Defoe. On referring
+to the list of his writings, given in vol. xx.
+of C. Talboy's edition of Defoe's Works, I find this
+idea is correct. Chalmers notices three editions
+of the work, in 1724, 1725, and 1727, (numbered
+in his list "154," "156," "163,") and remarks that
+"all the subsequent editions vary considerably
+from the original" of 1724. He states that "this
+work is frequently confounded with 'John Macky's
+Journey through England, in familiar Letters
+from a Gentleman here to his Friend abroad,'
+1722." I may take this opportunity of mentioning
+that, in the first volume of Defoe's work, there
+are some very interesting particulars of the skirmish
+at Reading, between the troops of the Prince
+of Orange and the Irish forces of James II., and
+the panic known as the "Irish night," which deserve
+to be consulted by Mr. Macaulay, for the
+next edition of his History. The whole work will
+well repay a perusal, and what is there of Defoe's
+writing which will not?</p>

+<p><i>Muffins</i>.&mdash;The correspondent who, in No.11.,

+a large excursus on this subject. The word, he
+avers, is <i>Phoenician</i>: from <i>maphula</i>, one of those
+kinds of bread named as such by Athenaeus. "It
+was a <i>cake</i>," says Athenaeus, "baked on a hearth or
+griddle." He derives this by taking away the
+final vowel, and then changing <i>l</i> for <i>n</i>; thus:
+"maphula," "maphul," "mufun!!!"</p>

+<p><i>El Buscapié</i>.&mdash;A very full and able disquisition
+on the subject of MR. SINGER's query (No. 11.,

+the appendix to a work which is just published, viz.
+Ticknor's <i>History of Spanish Literature</i>, vol. iii.
+Appendix D. 371. <i>et seq</i>. That writer, whose
+opinion is entitled to credit as that of a consummate
+student of Spanish letters, and who gives
+good reasons for his conclusions in this instance,
+pronounces against the authenticity of the poor
+little pamphlet recently put forth as belonging to
+Cervantes.</p>
+
+<p>Those who take an interest in Spanish literature
+will find this book of Ticknor's a most valuable
+contribution to their knowledge of its whole compass,
+and worth "making a note of."</p>

+<p><i>Richard of Cirencester, &amp;c.&mdash;Bishop Barlow</i>.&mdash;Your
+correspondent "S.A.A." (No. 6., p. 93),
+who is desirous of further information respecting
+Richard of Cirencester, will, I am sure, peruse
+with much interest and gratification a dissertation
+on that writer by K. Wex, which first appeared in
+the <i>Rheinisches Museum für Philologie</i> for 1846,
+and was shortly after translated and inserted in
+the <i>Gentleman's Magazine</i>, with valuable notes by
+the translator.&mdash;Respecting the writers of notes
+on the margin of books, few notes of the kind, I
+apprehend, deserve better to be collected and
+published than those by the very learned Bishop
+Barlow, Provost of Queen's College from the year
+1657 to 1677, and who left the chief part of his
+library to that society. The rest of his books,
+being such as were not in the Bodleian, he bequeathed
+to that library, of which he was for
+some years the librarian. The <i>Biographia Britannica</i>
+represents him to have been "an universal
+lover and favourer of learned men, of what country
+or denomination soever."</p>

+informs the correspondent who inquired
+(No. 11, p. 174.) respecting this valuable paper,
+that it was printed in the <i>Nautical Almanac</i> for
+1787. E.B. PRICE adds, "<i>A Treatise on Optical
+Instruments</i>, published about twenty years ago by
+the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge,
+contains much useful and general information
+upon this subject; and it is stated in that
+work that Mr. Edward's treatise, which is now

+<p><i>Ordination Pledges</i>.&mdash;In reply to the inquiry of

+2 vols. 12mo., and William's <i>Laws relating to the
+Clergy, being a Practical Guide to the Clerical
+Profession on the Legal and Canonical Discharge
+of their various Duties</i>, 8vo. The author of this
+useful work, which appears not to have been seen
+by Lowndes, says, in his advertisement, "The
+works which are already extant on Ecclesiastical
+Law, being either too diffuse or too concise for
+ready reference and practical use, the compiler of
+this volume has endeavored to remedy this defect by
+the publication of the following compendium."</p>

+<h3>NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.</h3>
+
+<p>The Percy Society have just issued <i>A New and
+Mery Enterlude called the Triall of Treasure</i>,
+from the edition printed at London by Thomas
+Purfoote, 1567, edited by Mr. Halliwell. The
+other works issued by the Society since May last
+(when the year's subscription became due) have
+been <i>A Poem</i> (satirical) <i>of The Times of Edward II</i>.,
+edited by the Rev. C. Hardwick, from a MS. at
+St. Peter's College, Cambridge, of which a less
+perfect copy from an Edinburgh MS. was printed
+by Mr. Wright, in the volume of <i>Political Songs</i>,
+edited by him for the Camden Society; <i>Notices
+of Fugitive Tracts and Chap-Books, printed at
+Aldermary Churchyard, Bow Churchyard, &amp;c.</i> by
+Mr. Halliwell; <i>The Man in the Moone, or The
+English Fortune Teller</i>, edited by the same gentleman,
+from the unique copy printed in 1609,
+now in the Bodleian; and lastly, <i>The Religious
+Poems of William de Shoreham, Vicar of Chart-Sutton
+in Kent, in the Reign of Edward II</i>., edited
+by Mr. Wright, from a contemporary manuscript.</p>
+
+<p>It is doubtful whether Mr. Shaw's skill as an
+artist, fidelity as a copyist, or taste in the selection
+of his subjects, entitle him to the higher praise.
+We leave to those who are familiar with his
+<i>Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages</i>, and
+other admirable productions, the settlement of
+this point. He has just published the first number
+of a new work, <i>The Decorative Arts of the Middle
+Ages</i>, the object of which is to exhibit the peculiar
+features and general characteristics of decorative
+art, from the Byzantine or early Christian
+period to the decline of that termed the <i>Renaissance</i>.
+This beautiful work&mdash;for beautiful it is&mdash;is extremely
+well timed, as it appears at a moment
+when our manufacturers who desire to display
+their skill at the great exhibition of 1851, must be
+most anxious to see "the principles by which our
+ancestors controlled their genius in producing
+articles of taste and beauty, from the precious
+metals, from enamels, from glass, from embroidery,
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="page207" id="page207"></a>{207}</span>
+and from the various other textures and materials
+on which they delighted to lavish their skill and
+ingenuity (both for the various services of the
+Church, and also as accessories to the luxuries of
+the wealthy of all classes)." The present number
+contains: 1. "An exquisite Cup, designed by
+Holbein for Queen Jane Seymour;" 2. "Stained
+Glass of the 13th Century, from the Cathedral of
+Chartres;" 3. "An exquisite Specimen of Embroidery
+(of the date of 1554), from a picture of
+Queen Mary belonging to the Society of Antiquaries;"
+and, 4. "Iron-work from the Tomb of
+Eleanor of Castile." It will be seen, from this
+enumeration of them, how varied and well selected
+are the subjects of this new work of Mr. Shaw,
+and how well they are adapted to answer the end
+which he has in view.</p>

+<p>Messrs. Leigh Sotheby &amp; Co. will sell on
+Thursday next, and the two following days, "The
+valuable and select library of William Ashby

+
+<p>PLAIN SERMONS. Second Series. Second
+Edition.</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"In the statements of Christian doctrine, the reality of Mr.
+Blencowe's mind is very striking. There is a strength, and a
+warmth, and a life, in his mention of the great truths of the
+Gospel, which show that he spoke from the heart, and that, like
+the Apostle of old, he could say.&mdash;'I believe, and therefore have
+I spoken.'"&mdash;<i>Theologian</i>.

+"Plain, short, and affectionate discourse."&mdash;<i>English Review</i>.

+SERMONS. By ALFRED GATTY M.A., Vicar
+of Ecclesfield.</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"We say willingly of these Sermons, what we can seldom say
+of sermons published at the request of parishioners, that they
+justify the respect paid to them; and appear to us in somewhat
+the same light as we should suppose they seemed to those who
+listened to and admired them. They are sermons of a high and
+solid character, and are the production of a good Churchman.
+They are earnest and affectionate, and follow out of the Church's
+doctrine."&mdash;<i>Theologian</i>.
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"Warm-hearted and thoughtful."&mdash;<i>Guardian</i>.
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"When the first edition of theses Sermons appeared, we noticed
+them as a series of plain and practical, but close and scholarly
+discourses. The appearance of a second edition, in a short time,
+justifies our recommendation."&mdash;<i>Spectator</i>.
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"In the effective simplicity with which Mr. Gatty applies the
+incidents and precepts of the Gospel to the every-day concerns of
+life he has no superior."&mdash;<i>Britannia</i>.
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>8vo., price 7s. 6d.
+THE UNITY OF GOD'S MORAL LAW,
+AS REVEALED IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT.
+By the Rev. A.J. MACLEANE, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge,
+Principal of Brighton College.</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"We can recommend it not only as an answer to charges and
+insinuations, but also as an able and clear exposition of the meeting
+point of the Jewish and Christian dispensations; a distinct
+and lucid delineation, amidst apparent divergencies, of the coincidences
+of the animating principles of the law and the gospel."
+&mdash;<i>Christian Observer</i>.

+Principal of Brighton College: Author of "The Unity of God's
+Moral Law, as revealed in the Old and New Testament."</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+"This volume of sermons is of a different stamp from the generality
+of those which come under our notice.  There is a vigour of
+thought and language throughout, without the slightest extravagance
+or exaggeration.  There is no far-fetched strain of reasoning,
+nor any attempt at fine writing in these discourses; but the
+mind of the reader is directed, by a well-managed series of divisions,
+to the principal doctrines and duties derivable from the
+passages under consideration.  These sermons will afford to the
+young clergyman excellent examples of the kind of composition
+which is calculated to render his pulpit-ministration
+effectual."&mdash;<i>English Review</i>.

+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

+
+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
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+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
+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.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+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
+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.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+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.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+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.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     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
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     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
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+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 F3.  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 MERCHANTIBILITY 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, is 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 web page at https://www.pglaf.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.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  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
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+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 https://pglaf.org
+
+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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.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 thirty 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.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://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.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year. For example:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
+
+An alternative method of locating eBooks:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL

+DOMINGO LOMELYN, JESTER TO HENRY VIII.
+
+Shakespeare, in the _Second Part of Henry IV._ act v. sc. 3 makes
+Silence sing the following scrap:--
+
+  "Do me right,
+  And dub me knight:
+  _Samingo_."
+
+And Nash, in his _Summer's Last Will and Testament_, 1600 (reprinted in
+the last edition of Dodsley's _Old Plays_, vol. xi. p. 47.) has
+
+  "Monsieur Mingo for quaffing doth surpass,
+  In cup, in can, or glass;
+  God Bacchus, do me right,
+  And dub me knight,
+  _Domingo_"
+
+T. Warton, in a note in vol. xvii. of the _Variorum_ Shakespeare, says,
+"_Samingo_, that is _San Domingo_, as some of the commentators have
+observed. But what is the meaning and propriety of the name here, has
+not yet been shown. Justice Silence is here introduced as in the midst
+of his cups; and I remember a black-letter ballad, in which either a
+_San Domingo_ or a _Signior Domingo_, is celebrated for his miraculous
+feats in drinking. Silence, in the abundance of his festivity, touches
+upon some old song, in which this convivial _saint_, or _signior_, was
+the burden. Perhaps, too, the pronounciation in here suited to the
+character." I must own that I cannot see what San Domingo has to do with
+a drinking song. May it not be an allusion to a ballad or song on
+_Domingo_, one of King Henry the Eighth's jesters?
+
+  "--_Domyngo Lomelyn_,
+  That was wont to wyn
+  Moche money of the kynge,
+  At the cardys and haserdynge."
+
+Skelton's _Why come ye not to Courte_, ed. Dyce, ii. p. 63.
+
+None of the commentators have noticed this, but I think my suggestion
+carries with it some weight.
+
+In the _Privy Purse Expenses of King Henry the Eighth_ (published by Sir
+H. Nichols, in 1827), are many entries concerning this _Domingo_, most
+of which relate to payments of money that he had won from the king at
+cards and dice. He was evidently, as Sir Harris Nichols observes, one of
+King Henry's "diverting vagabonds," and seems to have accompanied his
+majesty wherever he went, for we find that he was with him at Calais in
+1532. In all these entries he is only mentioned as Domingo; his surname,
+and the fact of his being a Lombard, we learn from Skelton's poem,
+mentioned above.
+
+The following story, told of _Domingo_, occurs in Mr. (afterwards Sir
+John) Harington's _Treatise on Playe_, 1597, printed in the _Nugae
+Antiquae_, edit. Park, vol. i. p.222.:--
+
+     "The other tale I wold tell of a willinge and wise loss I have
+     hearde dyversly tolde. Some tell it of Kyng Phillip and a favoryte
+     of his; some of our worthy King Henry VIII. and _Domingo_; and I
+     may call it a tale; becawse perhappes it is but a tale, but thus
+     they tell it:--The kinge, 55 eldest hand, set up all restes, and
+     discarded flush; _Domingo_ or _Dundego_ (call him how you will),
+     helde it upon 49, or som such game; when all restes were up and
+     they had discarded, the kinge threw his 55 on the boord open, with
+     great lafter, supposing the game (as it was) in a manner
+     sewer. _Domingo_ was at his last carde incownterd flush, as the
+     standers by saw, and tolde the day after; but seeing the king so
+     mery, would not for a reste at primero, put him owt of that
+     pleasawnt conceyt, and put up his cardes quietly, yielding it
+     lost."
+
+Park was not acquainted with any particulars of this _Domingo Lomelyn_,
+for he says, in a note, "Query, jester to the king?"
+
+The first epigram in Samuel Rowland's entertaining tract, _The Letting
+of Humours Blood in the Head-waine_, &c. 1600, is upon "Monsieur
+Domingo;" but whether it relates to King Henry's jester is a matter of
+some question.

+
+MARLOWE AND THE OLD "TAMING OF A SHREW."
+
+Having only just observed an announcement of a new edition of the works
+of Marlowe, I take the earliest opportunity of calling the attention of
+the editor to a circumstance which it is important that he should know,
+and the knowledge of which,--should it have escaped his notice, as it
+has that of all other writers on the subject,--I trust may not be too
+late for his present purpose. Without farther preface, I will introduce
+the subject, by asking Mr. Dyce to compare two passages which I shall
+shortly point out; and, having done so, I think he will agree with me in
+the opinion that the internal evidence, relating to our old dramatic
+literature, cannot have been very much studied, while such a discovery
+as he will then make still remained to be made. The first passage is
+from the so-called _old "Taming of a Shrew"_ (six old plays, 1779, p.
+161.), and runs as follows:--
+
+  "Now that the gloomy shadow of the night,
+  Longing to view Orion's drisling looks,
+  Leaps from th' Antarctic world unto the sky,
+  And dims the welkin with her pitchy breath;"
+
+the second is from _Doctor Faustus_ (Marlowe's Works, vol. ii. p. 127.),
+which, however, I shall save myself the trouble of transcribing; as,
+with the exception of "look" for "looks," in the second line, and "his"
+for "her," in the fourth, the two passages will be found identical.
+Being, some years ago, engaged, in connection with the first of these
+plays, in the pursuit of a very different object,--in which I cannot say
+that I altogether failed, and the result of which I may take an
+opportunity of communicating,--I made a note of the above; and at the
+same time followed it up by a general examination of the style of
+Marlowe. And, to make a long matter short, I may say that in this
+examination, besides meeting with a dozen instances of the identity of
+the writer of passages in the _Taming of a Shrew_ and of passages in
+Marlowe's two plays, _Doctor Faustus_ and _Tamburlaine_, I found such
+general resemblance in style as left no doubt upon my mind that, if one
+of these plays be his acknowledged work, as indisputable will be his
+claim to the other two. I was not aware at that time of the evidence, in
+Henslow's _Diary_, of Marlowe's authorship of _Tamburlaine_; but, so far
+from considering it inferior, I was inclined to place it, in some
+important respects, at the very head of his plays.
+
+I will not take up your space now with the parallel passages which I
+noted; but, should you wish it, and be able to make room for them, I
+will furnish you with a list. It is, of course, obvious that the one I
+have quoted proves nothing by itself; accumulated instances, in
+connection with the general question of style, alone become important. I
+will conclude, by giving a list which I have made out of Marlowe's
+plays, in favour of which I conceive there to be either internal or
+external evidence:--
+
+     "Locrine.
+
+     Tamburlaine the Great (two parts).
+
+     Jew of Malta.
+
+     Doctor Faustus.
+
+     Edward the Second.
+
+     Massacre of Paris.
+
+     Taming of a Shrew.

+
+BEETLE MYTHOLOGY.
+
+Mr. Editor,--I never thought of asking my Low-Norman fellow-rustics
+whether the ladybird had a name and a legend in the best preserved of
+the northern Romance dialects: on the score of a long absence
+(eight-and-twenty years), might not a veteran wanderer plead
+forgiveness? Depend upon it, Sir, nevertheless, that should any
+reminiscences exist among my chosen friends, the stout-hearted and
+industrious tenants of a soil where every croft and paddock is the leaf
+of a chronicle, it will be communicated without delay. There is more
+than usual attractiveness in the astronomical German titles of this tiny
+"red chafer," or _rother kaefer_, SONNEN KAEFER and VNSER FRAWEN
+KVHLEIN, the Sun-chafer, and our Lady's little cow. (_Isis_ or _Io?_)
+
+With regard to its provincial English name, _Barnabee_, the correct
+interpretation might be found in _Barn-bie_, the burning, or fire-fly, a
+compound word of Low-Dutch origin.
+
+We have a small black beetle, common enough in summer, called PAN,
+nearly hemispherical: you must recollect that the _a_ is as broad as you
+can afford to make it, and the final _n_ is nasal. Children never
+forgot, whenever they caught this beetle, to place it in the palm
+of their left hand, when it was invoked as follows:--
+
+  "PAN, PAN, mourtre me ten sang,
+  Et j'te dourai de bouan vin blianc!"
+
+which means, being interpreted,
+
+  "PAN, PAN, show me thy blood,
+  And I will give thee good white wine!"
+
+As he uttered the charm, the juvenile pontiff spat on poor Thammuz, till
+a torrent of blood, or what seemed such, "ran purple" over the urchin's
+fingers.
+
+Paul-Ernest Jablonski's numerous readers need not be told that the said
+beetle is an Egyptian emblem of the everlasting and universal soul, and
+that its temple is the equinoctial circle, the upper hemisphere.[1]
+
+As a solar emblem, it offers an instructive object of inquiry to the
+judicious gleaners of the old world's fascinating nursery traditions.
+Sicilian Diodorus tells us that the earth's lover, Attis (or Adonis),
+after his resuscitation, acquired the divine title of PAPAN.[2] To
+hazard the inoffensive query, why one of our commonest great beetles is
+still allowed to figure under so distinguished a name, will therefore
+reflect no discredit upon a cautious student of nearly threescore years.
+The very Welsh talked, in William Baxter's time, of "Heaven, as
+_bugarth_ PAPAN," the sun's ox-stall or resting-place; and here you
+likewise find his beetle-majesty, in a Low-Norman collection of insular
+rhymes:--
+
+ "Sus l'bord piasottaient, cote-a-cote,
+  Les equerbots et leas PAPANS,
+  Et ratte et rat laissaient leux crotte
+  Sus les vieilles casses et meme dedans."[3]
+
+By the help of Horapollo, Chiflet's gnostic gems, and other repertories
+of the same class, one might, peradventure, make a tolerable case in
+favour of the mythological identity of the legend of Ladybird--that is,
+the _sun-chafer_, or _barn-bie_, the _fire-fly_, "whose house is burnt,
+and whose bairns are ten," of course the first ten days of the Egyptian
+year[4]--with the mystical stories of the said black or dark blue lords
+of radiance, _Pan_ and _Papan_.
+
+The Egyptians revere the beetle as a living and breathing image of the
+sun, quoth Porphyry.[5] That will account for this restless delver's
+extraordinary talismanic renown. I think the lady-bird is "the speckled
+beetle" which was flung in hot water to avert storms.[6] Pignorius gives
+us the figure of the beetle, crowned with the sun, and encircled with
+the serpent of eternity; while another, an onyx in the collection of
+Abraham Gorlaeus, threatens to gnaw at a thunderbolt.[7]
+
+Reuven's book on the Egyptian Museum, which I have not seen, notices an
+invocation to "the winged beetle, the monarch ([Greek: tyrannos]) of
+mid-heaven," concluding with a devout wish that some poor creature "may
+be dashed to pieces."
+
+Can any of your readers inform me what is meant by "the blood of the
+_Phuon_?"
+
+Yours truly,
+
+?

+EXTRACTS FROM CHURCHWARDENS' ACCOUNTS OF ST. MARGARET'S,
+WESTMINSTER--WEIGHT OF BELLS IN ANCIENT TIMES--HISTORY OF A
+ROOD-LOFT.
+
+I send you a few Notes, collected out of the Churchwardens' Accounts of
+St. Margaret's, Westminster.
+
+1stly. Some regarding the weight of bells in ancient days:--
+
+"1526. The first bell weith                    ccccc lb.
+       The second bell weith               ccccccxxj lb.

+         Bretherhed                        MvjCxiiij lb.
+     The sume of all the weight          MMMMVIIC Li lb.
+
+"1592. The broken Tennor waied               xvjCxxj lb.

+      Som totall of the bells, yron, tymber, and
+      workmanshipp                       lxxvl. vs. vd."
+
+This appears to have been a sorry bargain, for
+soon after occur sad complaints of these bells,
+"very falsly and deceytfully made by Valentyne
+Trever." Perhaps your correspondent "CEPHAS"
+may explain the following entry:--
+
+"1846. Item, paid for makying of a newe clapper to
+         Judas bell                                xd."
+
+2ndly. Some entries, which make up a little
+history of a rood-loft:--
+
+"1460. Item, sol' pro le skoryng de la belles sup' le

+NOTES UPON CUNNINGHAM'S HANDBOOK FOR LONDON.
+
+_The Bagnio in Long Acre._--Mr. Cunningham mentions the Queen's Bagnio
+in Long Acre. Query, was this the same as the Duke of York's Bagnio? S.
+Haworth published, in a small 12mo. volume, without date, "A Description
+of the Duke of York's Bagnio, in Long Acre, and of the Mineral Bath and
+new Spaw thereunto belonging."
+
+_Tavistock Street, Covent Garden._--Richard Leveridge, the celebrated
+singer, after his retirement from the stage, kept a tavern in this
+street. Here he brought out "A Collection of Songs, with the Music, by
+Mr. Leveridge. In two volumes. London, Engrav'd and Printed for the
+Author in Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, 1727." The frontispiece was
+designed and engraved by Hogarth.
+
+_Duke Street, Westminster._--Miss Hawkins, in her _Anecdotes_, p. 186.,
+speaking of Lady Lucy Meyrick, says, "On quitting her husband's family,
+she came to reside in Duke Street, Westminster, and lived in that house
+which had been _Prior's_, and which _exactly faces Charles Street_."
+
+_Richmond Buildings, Soho._--Horne Tooke resided here in 1775. He
+afterwards removed to Frith Street.
+
+_Clare Market_, originally called _New Market_, was established about
+the year 1660, by Lord Clare.
+
+     "The city and my lord had a great lawsuit, which lasted many years,
+     to the great expence of the city; but from the inequity of the
+     times the city and my lord agreed, and gave it up to the lord; and
+     now it is become one of the greatest markets in the adjacent parts;
+     and from the success of this noble lord, they have got several
+     charters for the erecting of several others since the year 1660; as
+     that of St. James, by the Earl of St. Alban's; Bloomsbury, by the
+     Earl of Southampton; Brook Market, by the Lord Brook; Hungerford
+     Market; Newport Market; besides the Hay Market, New Charingcross,
+     and that at Petty France at Westminster, with their Mayfair in the
+     fields behind Piccadilly."--_Harl. MS_. 5900.
+
+_London House Yard._--Here was formerly the town house of the Bishop of
+London, which, being consumed in the great fire, the house in Aldersgate
+Street, formerly called _Petre House_, was rented for the town residence
+of the bishop, since which it obtained the title of _London House_.

+AELFRIC'S COLLOQUY.
+
+The singular error which Messrs. Lye and Thorpe have fallen in the
+passage pointed out by Mr. Hampson in Aelfric's very interesting
+_Colloquy_, is the more remarkable as Aelfric himself afforded a
+complete illustration of the passage, in his _Glossary_, where we have
+"BULGA, _hydig-faet_." It is possible, therefore, that _higdifatu_ is a
+mere error of the scribe. Now Du Cange, v. _Bulga_, cites this very
+passage from Aelfric's _Glossary_, and adds, "i.e. _vas ex corio
+confectum_," but his whole article is worth consulting. That the Latin
+word in the _Colloquy_ should be _Cassidilia_ is quite clear. Thus in an
+old MS. English Gloss on the Bible (penes me), the passage in Tobit,
+viii. 2., "Protulit de _Cassidili_ suo," is rendered, "brouzt forth of
+his _Scrippe_." Coverdale has it, "take out of his _bagge_," and Luther,
+"langte aus seinem _Suecklein_," which word is exchanged for _buedel_ in
+the Saxon version. In two old Teutonic Glosses on the Bible published by
+Graff (_Diutiska, ii. 178.), we have the following variations:--
+
+_de cassidi_ burssa, _de sacello t. sacciperio_ kiula
+_de cassili_ burissa, _de sacello t. sacciperio_ kiulla.
+
+Another Gloss in Graff's 1st vol. p. 192., on the word _Cadus_, may
+perhaps throw some light on the subject. The philological student need
+not be reminded of the wide application of the word _vas_, Lat., _fazz_,
+O.G., and _faet_. A.S.; but for my own part, I conclude that the
+shoewright intended to designate by _higdifatu_ all sorts of _leathern
+budgets_. Every Anglo-Saxon student must be so sensible of the great
+obligation he is under to our distinguished scholar Mr. Thorpe, that I
+trust it will not be deemed invidious or ungracious to point out another
+passage in this _Colloquy_ which seems to have hitherto baffled him, but
+which it appears to me may be elucidated.
+
+To the question, "Hwilce fixas gefehst thu?" the fisherman answers,
+"Aelas aud hacodas, mynas, aud aelputan, sceotan aud lampredan, aud swa
+hwylce swa on waetere swymath, _sprote_."
+
+Mr. Thorpe, in the 1st edition of his _Analecta_, says, "What is
+intended to be meant by this word [_sprote_], as well as by _salu_ [the
+correspondent word in the Latin], I am at a loss to conjecture." In his
+second edition, Mr. Thorpe repeats, "I am unable to explain _salu_
+otherwise than by supposing it may be an error for _salice_. In his
+_Glossary_ he has "spro't, ii. 2.? sprout, rod?" with a reference to his
+note. I must confess I cannot see how the substitution of _salice_ for
+_salu_ would make the passage more intelligible, and the explanation of
+_spro'te_ in the _Glossary_ does not help us. The sense required appears
+to me to be, _quickly, swiftly,_ and this will, I think, be found to be
+the meaning of _sprote_. In the Moeso-Gothic Gospels the word _sprauto_
+occurs several times and always in the sense of _cito, subito_; and
+though we have hitherto, I believe, no other example in Anglo-Saxon of
+this adverbial use of the word, we are warranted, I think, in
+concluding, from the analogy of a cognate language, that it did exist.
+In regard to the evidently corrupt Latin word _salu_, I have
+nothing better to offer than the forlorn conjecture that, in monkish
+Latin, "_saltu't_" may have been contractedly written for _saltuatim_."
+
+Dr. Leo, in his _Angelsachsiche Sprachproben_, has reprinted the
+_Colloquy_, but without the Latin, and, among many other capricious
+deviations from Mr. Thorpe's text, in the answer of the shoewright has
+printed _hygefata_! but does not notice the word in his _Glossary_. Herr
+Leo has entirely omitted the word _sprote_.

+LOGOGRAPHIC PRINTING.
+
+     [NASO has, in compliance with our request, furnished us with a
+     facsimile of the heading of his early number of _The Times_, which
+     is as follows:--"THE (here an engraving of the King's Arms) TIMES,
+     OR DAILY UNIVERSAL REGISTER, PRINTED LOGOGRAPHICALLY, WEDNESDAY,
+     MARCH 12. 1788," and informs us that it was printed "By R. Nutkins,
+     at the Logographic Press, Printing-House Square, near Apothecaries'
+     Hall, Blackfriars," and the height to which the Mr. Walter of that
+     day had brought his invention, by the same energy by which his
+     successor has raised THE TIMES to its present position, is shown by
+     the following note from a kind and most able correspondent.]
+
+A much more remarkable specimen of Logographic Printing than the number
+of the _Times_ newspaper mentioned by NASO, No. 9., p. 136., is an
+edition of Anderson's _History of Commerce_, with a continuation, in 4
+vols. 4to., printed by that method in 1787-1789, "at the Logographic
+Press, by J. Walter, Printing-House Square, Blackfriars." The work,
+which makes in all not much short of 4000 pages, is very well printed in
+all respects; and the following interesting note on the subject of
+Logographic Printing is attached to the preface heading the
+Continuation, or fourth volume.
+
+"Mr. Walter cannot here omit suggesting to the Public a few observations
+on his improved mode of printing LOGOGRAPHICALLY. In all projects for
+the general benefit, the individual who conceives that the trade in
+which he is engaged diminishes in its emoluments from any improvement
+which another may produce in it, is too much disposed to become its
+enemy; and, perhaps, the interest of individuals never exerted itself
+with more inveteracy than has been experienced by Mr. Walter from many
+concerned in the trade into which he had entered.
+
+"The invention which he brought forward, promised to be of essential
+service to the public, by expediting the process and lessening the
+expense of printing. Dr. Franklin sanctioned it with his approbation,
+and Sir Joseph Banks encouraged him with the most decided and animated
+opinion of the great advantages which would arise to literature from the
+LOGOGRAPHIC PRESS. Nevertheless Mr. Walter was left to struggle with the
+interest of some, and the prejudice of others, and, though he was
+honoured by the protection of several persons of high rank, it happened
+in his predicament, as it generally happens in predicaments of a similar
+nature, that his foes were more active than his friends, and he still
+continued to struggle with every difficulty that could arise from a very
+determined opposition to, and the most illiberal misrepresentations of,
+the LOGOGRAPHIC IMPROVEMENT.
+
+"Mr. Walter has, however, at length triumphed over the falsehood and
+malignity of his opponents; LOGOGRAPHIC PRINTING, after having produced
+such a work as this, which he now presents to the public, with many
+excellent publications that he has already printed, can no longer be

+MEMORIALS OF THE DUKE OF MONMOUTH'S LAST DAYS.[9]
+
+At a recent meeting of the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin, Dr. Anster
+exhibited a manuscript volume of 157 pages, which he declared to be the
+identical "album filled with songs, recipes, prayers, and charms," found
+in the Duke of Monmouth's pocket when he was seized. It was purchased at
+a book-stall in Paris in 1827 by an Irish divinity student, was given by
+him to a priest in the county of Kerry, and, on the priest's death,
+became the property of the present possessor. Respecting in its identity
+and history, from its removal from the rebel duke's pocket down to its
+production at the Royal Irish Academy, Dr. Anster showed that after
+Monmouth was beheaded--which he was on Tower Hill, by the too-celebrated
+John Ketch, on the 15th July, 1685--the articles found on his person
+were given to the king. At James's deposition, three years afterwards,
+all his manuscripts, including those that had belonged to Monmouth, were
+carried into France, where they remained till the Revolution in that
+country a century afterwards. Dr. Anster, in exhibiting the book,
+showed that the remains of silver clasps had been destroyed, and a part
+of the leather of the covers at each side torn away, seemingly for the
+purpose of removing some name on a coat of arms with which it had been
+once marked; and this he accounted for by the belief that at the period
+of the French Revolution the persons in whose custody they were, being
+fearful of the suspicions likely to arise from their possession of books
+with royal arms on them, tore off the covers, and sent the books to St.
+Omer's. The after-fate of the larger books was, that they were burned;
+some small ones, we are distinctly told, were saved from this fate, but
+seem to have been disregarded, and all trace of them lost. The Abbe
+Waters--a collateral descendant of Lucy Waters, the Duke of Monmouth's
+mother--was the person with whom George IV. negotiated for the Stuart
+papers, and from whom the volumes which have since appeared as Clark's
+_Life of James the Second_ were obtained; and it is from the Abbe Waters
+we have the account of the destruction of King James's autograph papers.
+Dr. Anster showed, written on the inner cover of this volume, the words,
+"Baron Watiers" or "Watrers."
+
+As to the identity of the book, Dr. Anster quoted several passages from
+contemporary authors to test their account of the contents of the
+"album" with those of the book he was describing. In the _Harleian
+Miscellany_, vol. vi. p.323., it is stated in Sir John Reresby's
+memoirs, that "out of his [Monmouth's] pocket were taken books, in his
+own handwriting, containing charms or spells to open the doors of a
+prison, to obviate the danger of being wounded in battle, together with
+songs and prayers." Barillon describes the book in what is nearly a
+translation of this--"Il y avoit des secrets de magie et d'enchantment,
+avec des chansons des recettes pour des maladies et des prieres." Again,
+in a note by Lord Dartmouth to the modern editions of _Burnet's Own
+Times_, we have the following statement:--
+
+     "My uncle Colonel William Legge, who went in the coach with him
+     [Monmouth] to London as a guard, with orders to stab him if there
+     were any disorders on the road, showed me several charms that were
+     tied about him when he was taken, and his table-book, which was
+     full of astrological figures that nobody could understand; but he
+     told my uncle that they had been given to him some years before in
+     Scotland, and he now found they were but foolish conceits."
+
+The actual contents of the manuscript volume show a great resemblance to
+these descriptions. The most curious passages which it contains are the
+duke's memorandums of his journey on two visits to the Prince of Orange,
+in the year previous to his last rash adventure. His movements up to the
+14th of March, 1684-85, are given. The entries do not seem to be of much
+moment; but they may accidentally confirm or disprove some disputed
+points of history. There is an entry without a date, describing the
+stages of a journey in England, commencing with London and Hampstead: it
+ends with Toddington. This forms a strong link in the chain of identity;
+for Toddington is a place remarkable in the history of the duke. Near it
+was the residence of Lady Henrietta Maria Wentworth, baroness (in her
+own right) of Nettlestead, only daughter and heir of Thomas Lord
+Wentworth, grandchild and heir of the Earl of Cleveland. Five years
+before the execution, her mother observed that, despite the duke being a
+married man, her daughter had, while at court, attracted his admiration,
+and she hurried her away to Toddington. In 1683, after the failure of
+the Rye-House Plot, Monmouth was banished from the royal presence, and
+it was to Toddington he retired. When, on retracting the confession he
+had made on the occasion, he was banished the kingdom, the companion of
+his exile was Lady Henrietta Wentworth.
+
+"I dwell on this," said Dr. Anster, "because the accidental mention of
+Toddington seems to authenticate the book: the name of Lady Henrietta
+Wentworth does not occur in it, and the persons in whose hands the book
+has been since it was purchased in Paris do not seem to have noticed the
+name of Toddington, or to have known that it had any peculiar relation
+to the duke's history. It occurs twice in the book--once in the
+itinerary, and again in a trifling and unmetrical song, which is
+probably the duke's own composition; written probably on the eve of his
+flight with his romantic but guilty companion to Holland:--
+
+  "'With joy we leave thee,
+  False world, and do forgive
+  All thy false treachery.
+  For now we'll happy live.
+  We'll to our bowers,
+  And there spend our hours;
+  Happy there we'll be,
+  We no strifes can see;
+  No quarrelling for crowns,
+  Nor fear the great one's frowns;
+  Nor slavery of state,
+  Nor changes in our fate.
+  From plots this place is free,
+  There we'll ever be;
+  We'll sit and bless our stars
+  That from the noise of wars
+  Did this glorious place give
+  (Or did us Toddington give)
+  That thus we happy live.'"
+
+In Macaulay's history we find that the latest act of the duke on the
+scaffold, before submitting to the stroke of the executioner, was to
+call his servant, and put into the man's hand a toothpick-case, the last
+token of ill-starred love. "Give it," he said, "_to that person!_" After
+the description of Monmouth's burial occurs the following affecting
+passage:--
+
+     "Yet a few months and the quiet village of Toddington, in
+     Bedfordshire, witnessed a yet sadder funeral. Near that village
+     stood an ancient and stately hall, the seat of the Wentworths. The
+     transept of the parish church had long been their burial-place. To
+     that burial-place, in the spring which followed the death of
+     Monmouth, was borne the coffin of the young Baroness Wentworth of
+     Nettlestead. Her family reared a sumptuous mausoleum over her
+     remains; but a less costly memorial of her was long contemplated
+     with far deeper interest: her name, carved by the hand of him she
+     loved too well, was, a few years ago, still discernible on a tree
+     in the adjoining park."
+
+In further proof of identity, Dr. Anster pointed out several charms and
+recipes which the manuscript volume contains. The conjurations are in
+general for the purpose of learning the results of sickness in any
+particular case, and of determining whether friends will be in certain
+circumstances faithful. There are also incantations for the use of
+several maladies, and one to make gray hair grow black. No "charms
+against being wounded in battle," such are Sir John Reresby mentions,
+are to be found in the volume; but there are some prayers against
+violent death, which have the appearance of having been transcribed from
+some devotional book. There is evidently a mistake in supposing that
+this book contains any charm for breaking open prison doors, and it is
+likely that Sir John Reresby was misled in this way:--There is in p. 7.
+a charm in French to procure repose of body and mind, and deliverance
+from pains; and the word for "pains" is written in a contracted form; it
+might as well stand for prisons; but, examining the context, it is
+plainly the former word which is meant.
+
+The rest of the entries consist of extracts from old recipe-books, mixed
+in the oddest way with abridgements of English history, and the most
+trifling memorandums, chiefly of a private and personal kind.
+Altogether, this commonplace work is highly indicative of the weakness,
+vanity, and superstition which stood forward so prominently in the
+character of the rash but unfortunate Duke of Monmouth.

+QUERIES.
+
+CATHERINE PEGGE.
+
+Mr. Cunningham was mistaken in supposing that I had overlooked Catherine
+Pegge, for I was well aware that she could not have been Pepys's "pretty
+Lady." She must, in fact, have attained her fortieth year, and there is
+no record of her being on the stage; whereas Margaret Hughes had, when
+Pepys saluted her, recently joined the Theatre Royal, and she is
+expressly styled "Peg Hughes" by Tom Browne, in one of his "Letters from
+the Dead to the Living." Having disposed of this question, I am tempted
+to add that Morant does not confirm the statement that Catherine Pegge
+married Sir Edward Green, for he says that
+
+     "Sir Edward Greene, created a Baronet, 26 July, 1660, was seated at
+     Little Sampford in Essex; he had 3 wives, the first was Jeronyma,
+     daughter and coheir of William Everard, of Linsted, Esq., and by
+     her he had 6 daughters; by Mary, daughter of ---- Tasborough, he
+     had a son; and by the third lady ----, daughter of ---- Simonds, he
+     had a daughter. He was the last of the Greenes that enjoyed this
+     estate, having lost it by gaming."--Morant's _Essex_, vol. ii. p.
+     525.
+
+This account of the Greene family is stated in a note to have been taken
+from a fine pedigree on vellum, penes T. Wotton, Gent.
+
+If Catherine Pegge was one the three ladies mentioned above, she must
+have changed her name previously to her marriage, in hopes of concealing
+her former history; but the circumstance of the baronetcy being
+conferred upon Sir Edward is very suspicious. Probably some of your
+correspondents can settle the question.

+
+WILLIAM BASSE, AND HIS POEMS.
+
+Can any of your readers inform me where a perfect or imperfect copy is
+to be found of a poem, of which I possess only a single half sheet,
+under the following title:--
+
+     "_Great Brittaines Sunnes-set, bewailed with a Shower of Teares_.
+     By William Basse. At Oxford, Printed by Joseph Barnes. 1613"?
+
+It is one of the many poems published on the death of Prince Henry; and
+although I have been in search of it, or of a fragment of it, for more
+than twenty years, I have never been able to obtain tidings of more than
+of that small portion in my possession; nor am I aware of the mention of
+it in any bibliographical authority. I have not at hand Sir H. Nicolas's
+edition of Walton's _Angler_, in which Basse is spoken of, but I
+remember looking at that beautiful and costly work a long time ago, and,
+as far as I recollect, not finding in it anything to my purpose. I
+observe that a William Basse (or _Bas_, as the name is there spelt)
+printed in 1602, 4to., a tract called _Sword and Buckler, or Serving
+Man's Defence_; but I know no more of it than that it was sold in
+Stevens's sale; and among the MSS. of the late Mr. Heber was a volume
+of poems called _Polyhymnia_, apparently prepared for the press, and
+dedicated by William Basse to Lady Lindsey, which contained an "Elegie
+on a rare Singing Bull-finch," dated 19th June, 1648; so that he was
+still living nearly half a century after he had printed his earliest
+known performance.
+
+The production that Izaac Walton refers to must be the ballad preserved
+in the Pepys Collection at Cambridge, under the heading "Maister
+Basse his Careere, or the new Hunting of the Hare. To a new Court tune;"
+and beginning--
+
+  "Long ere the morne expects the returne."
+
+It was "Printed at London by E.A.," i.e. Edward Allde, without date; and
+it may have been duly noticed by the last editor of _The Complete
+Angler_. However, neither this nor Heber's MS. throw any new light upon
+the small tract (in 8vo., and of perhaps not more than two sheets) with
+the title of which I commenced, and regarding which I request
+information. It is a poem in eight-line stanzas, and it is dedicated, at
+the back of the title-page, "To his honourable Master, Sir Richard
+Wenman, Knight," without another word addressed to his patron.
+
+My fragment of four leaves, or half an 8vo. sheet, contains stanzas (one
+on each page), numbered 5, 6, 7, 8. 13, 14.; and the earliest of them is
+this:--
+
+    "To you I therefore weepe: To you alone
+    I shew the image of your teares, in mine;
+    That mine (by shewing your teares) may be show'n
+    To be like yours, so faithfull so divine:
+    Such as more make the publique woe their owne,
+    Then their woe publique, such as not confine
+  Themselves to times, nor yet forms from examples borrow:
+  Where losse is infinit, there boundlesse is the sorrow."
+
+I have preserved even the printer's punctuation, for the sake of more
+perfect identification, if any of your readers are acquainted with the
+existence of a copy of the production, or of any portion of it. The
+above stanza, being numbered "5," of course it was preceded by four
+others, of which I can give no account. Another stanza, from this
+literary and bibliographical rarity, may not be unacceptable; it is the
+eighth--
+
+    "Here then run forth thou River of my woes
+    In cease lesse currents of complaining verse:
+    Here weepe (young Muse) while elder pens compose
+    More solemne Rites unto his sacread Hearse.
+    And, as when happy earth did, here, enclose
+    His heavn'ly minde, his Fame then Heav'n did pierce.
+  Now He in Heav'n doth rest, now let his Fame earth fill;
+  So, both him then posses'd: so both possesse him still."
+
+Therefore, although Basse had written his _Sword and Buckler_ in 1602
+(if it were the same man), he still called his Muse "young" in 1613. I
+cannot call to mind any precedent for the form of stanza adopted by him,
+consisting, as it does, of six ten-syllable lines, rhyming alternately,
+followed by a twelve-syllable couplet. None of the other stanzas contain
+personal matter; the grief of the author of _Great Britain's Sun's-set_
+seems as artificial as might be expected; and his tears were probably
+brought to the surface by the usual pecuniary force-pump.
+
+I have some notion that William Basse was a musical composer, as well as
+a writer of verses; but here, again, I am at fault, and particularly
+request the aid of Dr. Rimbault, who has paid special attention to such
+matters, and who has just published a learned and valuable work on the
+music of the ballads in Percy's _Reliques_. If the volume were not so
+indisputably excellent in its kind, there are reasons, connected with
+its dedication, which might make me hesitate in giving it even a just
+tribute of praise.

+MINOR QUERIES.
+
+_Christmas Hymn_.--Can any of your readers inform me who was the author
+of the well-known Christmas Hymn, "Hark the Herald Angels sing," which
+is so often found (of course without the slightest shadow of authority),
+at the end of our Prayer-Books? In the collection of poems entitled
+_Christmas Tyde_, published by Pickering, the initials "J.C.W." are
+appended to it; the same in Bickersteth's _Hymn Book_. In the last
+number of the _Christian Remembrancer_, it is incorrectly attributed to
+Doddridge, who was the author of the other Christmas Hymn, "High let us
+swell our tuneful notes," frequently appended to Tate and Brady; as well
+as of the Sacramental Hymn, "My God and is Thy table spread?" If the
+author of this hymn cannot be determined, it would be interesting to
+know its probable date, and the time when this and the other
+unauthorised additions were made to our Prayer-Book. The case of
+Doddridge's hymn is more remarkable, as being the composition of a
+dissenter.

+
+_On a Passage in Pope_.--"P.C.S.S.," who is old-fashioned enough to
+admire and to study Pope, would feel greatly obliged if any of your
+correspondents could help him to the interpretation of the following
+lines, in the "Imitation" of Horace's _Epistle to Augustus_:--
+
+  "The Hero William, and the Martyr Charles,
+  One knighted Blackmore, and one pensioned Quarles,
+  Which made old Ben, and sturdy Dennis swear,
+  _No Lord's Annointed, but a Russian bear!_"
+
+The passage in Horace, of which this purports to be an "Imitation," is
+the well-known
+
+"Boeotum in crasso jurares aeere natum,"
+
+and it is clear enough that Pope meant to represent kings Charles and
+William as so devoid of the taste which should guide royal patronage,
+that, in selecting such objects of their favour as Blackmore and
+Quarles, they showed themselves to be as uncouth and unpolished as the
+animal to which he likens them. But the principal motive of this inquiry
+is to ascertain whether there exist in their writings any record
+of the indignation supposed to have been expressed by Jonson and Dennis
+at the favour shown by majesty to their less worthy rivals.
+
+P.C.S.S.
+
+_Discovery of the Circulation of the Blood_.--There is a passage in
+Longinus (ch. xxii.), familiar perhaps to some of the readers of the
+"NOTES AND QUERIES," which indicates that the fact of the circulation of
+the blood was well established in the days of Plato. The father of
+critics, to exemplify, and illustrate the use and value of _trope_ in
+writing, has garbled from the Timaeus, a number of sentences descriptive
+of the anatomy of the human body, where the circulation of the blood is
+pointed at in terms singularly graphic. The exact extent of professional
+knowledge arrived at in the time of the great philosopher is by no means
+clearly defined: he speaks of the fact, however, not with a view to
+prove what was contested or chimerical, but avails himself of it to
+figure out the surpassing wisdom of the gods in constructing the human
+frame. Perhaps some of the readers of the "NOTES," who are more
+thoroughly conversant with the subject, may think it worth while to
+inquire how much was known on that subject before Harvey wrote his
+_Exercitationes Anatomiae_. The _Prooemium_ of that author seems hardly
+sufficient to satisfy the desire of every reader, who has looked with
+some care to the passage in Longinus to which I have taken the liberty
+of calling public attention.

+
+_Pandoxare_.--Having met with an old volume containing the entire
+household expenses, as well as in some degree a diary, kept by a country
+gentleman during the reigns of James II., William and Mary, and Anne, I
+observed that he has made use of a species of hieroglyphics, to
+facilitate his reference to his book, as it contained all the entries of
+all kinds, in chronological order. For instance, where mention is made
+of money spent on behalf of one person in his house, he puts at the side
+of the page a clay pipe, rudely drawn; an entry of the payment of wages
+to another servant has a jug of ale; another a quill pen; another a
+couple of brooms, as the housemaid; a fiddle for the dancing master for
+his daughter; payment made to the sexton or parish-clerk has a
+representation of the village church by its side, and the window-tax a
+small lattice-window; and on the days that they brewed, a small barrel
+is drawn by the side of the date. And the chief object of my letter is
+with respect to this last; a barrel is often drawn, and by its side the
+words, _primo relinitus_, and the date, naturally meaning the day it was
+tapped; and then shortly after comes another barrel, and to it is
+written the word _Pandox_., or sometimes in full _Pandoxavimus_; in some
+places at the end of the year there is a list to this effect:--
+
+                    "(1705.)

+volume, entitled _Bellaria Epistolarum Erasmi Rot. et Ambrosii Pelargi
+vicissim missarum_, Colon. 1539? Some of your readers will doubtless be

+performance, the _Vita D. Martini Lutheri Nummis atque Inconibus

+it containing two different versions of the Psalms. The two statements,
+however, differ, making it doubtful of what is intended; the first
+speaking of one edition and the second of another.
+
+Vol. i. p. 181. says--
+
+     "The first edition of this Bible was published in 1568. In this the
+     new translation of the Psalms was inserted alone. In the second
+     edition the translation of the Great Bible was added in opposite
+     columns, and in a different character."
+
+Vol. ii. p. 316.:--

+     "Bishops' Bible, first edition, 1568. There is also a double

+_Sir William Rider_.--"P.C.S.S." is happy to be able to answer one of
+the questions of "H.F." (at p. 186. No. 12.), by referring him to the
+_Extracts from the Parish Registers of St. Olave's_, which were
+published in vol. ii. of the _Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica_.
+At p. 316., of that volume, he will find the following entry, which
+pretty nearly determines the date of Sir William Rider's death:--"1611,
+November 19. Sir William Rider diing at Leyton, had his funeralle
+solemnized in our Church, the hearss being brought from Clothworkers'
+Hall." In a note to the above entry a further reference is made to

+
+_Lacedaemonian Black Broth_.--Your correspondent "W." in No. 11., is
+amusing as well as instructive; but it does not yet appear that we must
+reject the notion of coffee as an ingredient of the Lacedaemonian black
+broth upon the score of _colour_ or _taste_.
+
+That it _was_ an ingredient has only as yet been mooted as a
+_probability_.
+
+Pollux, to whom your correspondent refers us, says that [Greek: zomos
+melas] was a Lacedaemonian food; and that it was called [Greek:
+aimatia], translated in Scott and Liddell's _Lexicon_, "_blood-broth_."
+These lexicographers add, "The Spartan black broth was made with blood,"
+and refer to Manso's _Sparta_, a German work, which I have not the
+advantage of consulting.
+
+Gesner, in his _Thesaurus_, upon the word "jus," quotes the known
+passage of Cicero, _Tusc. Disp_. v. 34., and thinks the "jus nigrum" was
+probably the [Greek: aimatia], and made with an admixture of blood, as
+the "botuli," the _black_ puddings of modern time, were.
+
+Coffee would not be of much lighter colour than blood. A decoction of
+senna, though of a red-brown, is sometimes administered in medicine
+under the common name of a "_black_ dose."
+
+As regards the _colour_, then, whether blood or coffee were the
+ingredient, the mess would be sufficiently dark to be called "_black_."
+
+In respect of _taste_, it is well known, from the story told by Cicero
+in the passage above referred to, that the Lacedaemonian black broth was
+_disagreeable_, at least to Dionysius, and the Lacedaemonians, who
+observed to him that he wanted that best of sauces, hunger, convey a
+confession that their broth was not easily relished.
+
+The same story is told with a little variation by Stobaeus, _Serm_.
+xxix., and Plutarch, _Institut. Lacon_., 2. The latter writer says, that
+the Syracusan, having tasted the Spartan broth, "spat it out in
+disgust," [Greek: dyscheranunta apoptusai].
+
+It would not have been unlike the Lacedaemonians purposely to have
+established a disagreeable viand in their system of public feeding. Men
+that used iron money to prevent the accumulation of wealth, and, as
+youths, had volunteered to be scourged, scratched, beat about, and
+kicked about, to inure them to pain, were just the persons to affect a
+nauseous food to discipline the appetite.
+
+R.O.
+
+_Lacedaemonian Black Broth_.--I should be glad to know in what passages
+of ancient authors the Lacedaemonian black broth is mentioned, and
+whether it is alluded to in such terms as to indicate the nature of the
+food. It has occurred to me that it is much more probable that it was
+the same _black broth_ which is now cooked in Greece, where I have eaten
+of it and found it very good, although it looked as if a bottle of ink
+had been poured into the mess.
+
+The dish is composed of small cuttle-fish (with their ink-bags) boiled
+with rice or other vegetables. Edinburgh, Jan. 13. 1850.

+
+_Bigotry._--The word Bigotry pervades almost all the languages of
+Europe, but its etymology has not been satisfactory to Noah Webster. The
+application of it is generally intelligible enough; being directed
+against those who pertinaciously adhere to their own system of religious
+faith. But as early as the tenth century it appears, that the use of the
+word Bigot originated in a circumstance, or incident, unconnected with
+religious views. An old chronicle, published by Duchesne in the 3rd vol.
+of his _Hist. Francorum Scriptores_, states that Rollo, on receiving
+Normandy from the King of France, or at least of that part of it, was
+called upon to kiss the foot of the king, a ceremony, it seems, in use
+not at the Vatican only; but he refused "unless the king would raise his
+foot to his mouth." When the counts in attendance admonished him to
+comply with this usual form of accepting so valuable a fief, he still
+declined, exclaiming in pure Anglo-Saxon, "Not He, By God,"--_Ne
+se bigoth_; "quod interpetatur," says the chronicler, "non [ille] per
+Deum." The king and his peers, deriding him, called him afterwards
+Bigoth, or Bigot, instead of Rollo. "Unde Normanni," adds the writer,
+who brings his history down to the year 1137, "adhuc Bigothi dicuntur."
+This will account for the prepositive article "Le" prefixed to the
+Norman Bigods, the descendants of those who followed William the
+Conqueror into England, such as Hugh Le Bigod, &c. Among other
+innovations in France, the word Bigotisme has been introduced, of which
+Boiste gives an example as combined with Philosophisme:--"Le Bigotisme
+n'est, comme le Philosophisme, qu'un Egoisme systematique. Le
+Philosophisme et le Bigotisme se traitent comme les chiens et les loups;
+cependant leurs especes se rapprochent, et produisent des monstres."

+that he will find the perusers of Gowghe's work to be the individuals
+mentioned in different portions of Foxe's _Acts and Monuments_, vol. v.
+edit. 8vo. pp. 414.449. 482.; the less intelligible names, "Doctor

+_Discurs Modest_.--Your correspondent "A.T." (No.9. p.142) may be
+informed that there can be no reasonable doubt, that the _original_
+authority, for _Rem transubstantiationis patres ne attigisse quidem_, is
+William Watson in his _Quodlibet_, ii. 4. p.31.; that the _Discurs.
+Modest. de Jesuitis_ borrowed it from him; that Andrews _most probably_
+derived it from the borrower; and that the date of the _Discurs_. &c.
+must, therefore, be between 1602 and 1610. Probably there may be a copy
+in the Lambeth Library; there is none in the Bodleian, British Museum,
+or Sion College, and Placcius affords no reference. The _author_ may
+never have been known.

+
+_Defoe's Tour through Great Britain_.--I am much obliged to your
+correspondent "D.S.Y" for the suggestion that the _Tour through Great
+Britain, by a Gentleman_, from which I sent you some extracts relating
+to the Ironworks of Sussex, is from the pen of Daniel Defoe. On
+referring to the list of his writings, given in vol. xx. of C. Talboy's
+edition of Defoe's Works, I find this idea is correct. Chalmers notices
+three editions of the work, in 1724, 1725, and 1727, (numbered in his
+list "154," "156," "163,") and remarks that "all the subsequent editions
+vary considerably from the original" of 1724. He states that "this work
+is frequently confounded with 'John Macky's Journey through England, in
+familiar Letters from a Gentleman here to his Friend abroad,' 1722." I
+may take this opportunity of mentioning that, in the first volume of
+Defoe's work, there are some very interesting particulars of the
+skirmish at Reading, between the troops of the Prince of Orange and the
+Irish forces of James II., and the panic known as the "Irish night,"
+which deserve to be consulted by Mr. Macaulay, for the next edition of
+his History. The whole work will well repay a perusal, and what is there
+of Defoe's writing which will not?
+
+D.S.
+
+_Muffins_.--The correspondent who, in No. 11., p. 173., inquires the
+origin of the word "Muffin," is referred to Urquhart's _Pillars of
+Hercules_, vol. ii. p. 143., just published, where he will find a large
+excursus on this subject. The word, he avers, is _Phoenician_: from
+_maphula_, one of those kinds of bread named as such by Athenaeus. "It
+was a _cake_," says Athenaeus, "baked on a hearth or griddle." He
+derives this by taking away the final vowel, and then changing _l_ for
+_n_; thus: "maphula," "maphul," "mufun!!!"
+
+In this strange book there are fifty other etymologies as remarkable as
+this. The author plainly offers them in hard earnest. This is something
+worth _noting_.

+_By Hook or Crook_.--"As in the phrase 'to get by hook or crook;' in the
+sense of, to get by any expedient, to stick at nothing to obtain the
+end; not to be over nice in obtaining your ends--_By hucke o'er krooke_;
+e.g. _by bending the knees, and by bowing low_, or as we now say, by
+bowing and scraping, by crouching and cringing."--Bellenden Ker's
+_Essay on the Archaeology our Popular Phrases and Nursery Rhymes_, vol.
+i. p. 21. ed. 1837.

+or charter from which he copied his note.
+
+Has Mr. B. Ker's work ever been reviewed?

+
+_By Hook or By Crook_.--I have met with it somewhere, but have lost my
+note, that Hooke and Crooke were two judges, who in their day decided
+most unconscientiously whenever the interests of the crown were
+affected, and it used to be said that the king could get anything by
+Hooke or by Crooke. Query, is _this_ the origin of the phrase?
+
+If I cannot give _my_ authority, perhaps "J.R.F." may be able to give
+_his_, for deriving it from "_Forest Customs_?"
+
+H.T.E.
+
+_El Buscapie_.--A very full and able disquisition on the subject of MR.
+SINGER's query (No. 11., p. 171.), respecting _El Buscapie_, will be
+found in the appendix to a work which is just published, viz. Ticknor's
+_History of Spanish Literature_, vol. iii. Appendix D. 371. _et seq_.
+That writer, whose opinion is entitled to credit as that of a consummate
+student of Spanish letters, and who gives good reasons for his
+conclusions in this instance, pronounces against the authenticity of the
+poor little pamphlet recently put forth as belonging to Cervantes.
+
+Those who take an interest in Spanish literature will find this book of
+Ticknor's a most valuable contribution to their knowledge of its whole

+_Richard of Cirencester, &c.--Bishop Barlow_.--Your correspondent

+interest and gratification a dissertation on that writer by K. Wex,
+which first appeared in the _Rheinisches Museum fuer Philologie_ for
+1846, and was shortly after translated and inserted in the _Gentleman's
+Magazine_, with valuable notes by the translator.--Respecting the
+writers of notes on the margin of books, few notes of the kind, I
+apprehend, deserve better to be collected and published than those by
+the very learned Bishop Barlow, Provost of Queen's College from the year
+1657 to 1677, and who left the chief part of his library to that
+society. The rest of his books, being such as were not in the Bodleian,
+he bequeathed to that library, of which he was for some years the
+librarian. The _Biographia Britannica_ represents him to have been "an
+universal lover and favourer of learned men, of what country or

+PRICE adds, "_A Treatise on Optical Instruments_, published about twenty
+years ago by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, contains
+much useful and general information upon this subject; and it is stated
+in that work that Mr. Edward's treatise, which is now very scarce, is

+William's _Laws relating to the Clergy, being a Practical Guide to the
+Clerical Profession on the Legal and Canonical Discharge of their
+various Duties_, 8vo. The author of this useful work, which appears not
+to have been seen by Lowndes, says, in his advertisement, "The works

+
+The Percy Society have just issued _A New and Mery Enterlude called the
+Triall of Treasure_, from the edition printed at London by Thomas
+Purfoote, 1567, edited by Mr. Halliwell. The other works issued by the
+Society since May last (when the year's subscription became due) have
+been _A Poem_ (satirical) _of The Times of Edward II_., edited by the
+Rev. C. Hardwick, from a MS. at St. Peter's College, Cambridge, of which
+a less perfect copy from an Edinburgh MS. was printed by Mr. Wright, in
+the volume of _Political Songs_, edited by him for the Camden Society;
+_Notices of Fugitive Tracts and Chap-Books, printed at Aldermary
+Churchyard, Bow Churchyard, &c._ by Mr. Halliwell; _The Man in the
+Moone, or The English Fortune Teller_, edited by the same gentleman,
+from the unique copy printed in 1609, now in the Bodleian; and lastly,
+_The Religious Poems of William de Shoreham, Vicar of Chart-Sutton in
+Kent, in the Reign of Edward II_., edited by Mr. Wright, from a
+contemporary manuscript.
+
+It is doubtful whether Mr. Shaw's skill as an artist, fidelity as a
+copyist, or taste in the selection of his subjects, entitle him to the
+higher praise. We leave to those who are familiar with his _Dresses and
+Decorations of the Middle Ages_, and other admirable productions, the
+settlement of this point. He has just published the first number of a
+new work, _The Decorative Arts of the Middle Ages_, the object of which
+is to exhibit the peculiar features and general characteristics of
+decorative art, from the Byzantine or early Christian period to the
+decline of that termed the _Renaissance_. This beautiful work--for
+beautiful it is--is extremely well timed, as it appears at a moment when
+our manufacturers who desire to display their skill at the great
+exhibition of 1851, must be most anxious to see "the principles by which
+our ancestors controlled their genius in producing articles of taste and
+beauty, from the precious metals, from enamels, from glass, from
+embroidery, and from the various other textures and materials on
+which they delighted to lavish their skill and ingenuity (both for the
+various services of the Church, and also as accessories to the luxuries
+of the wealthy of all classes)." The present number contains: 1. "An
+exquisite Cup, designed by Holbein for Queen Jane Seymour;" 2. "Stained
+Glass of the 13th Century, from the Cathedral of Chartres;" 3. "An
+exquisite Specimen of Embroidery (of the date of 1554), from a picture
+of Queen Mary belonging to the Society of Antiquaries;" and, 4.
+"Iron-work from the Tomb of Eleanor of Castile." It will be seen, from
+this enumeration of them, how varied and well selected are the subjects
+of this new work of Mr. Shaw, and how well they are adapted to answer
+the end which he has in view.

+By the Rev. A.J. MACLEANE, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge; Principal
+of Brighton College: Author of "The Unity of God's Moral Law, as
+revealed in the Old and New Testament."
+
+     "This volume of sermons is of a different stamp from the generality
+     of those which come under our notice. There is a vigour of thought
+     and language throughout, without the slightest extravagance or
+     exaggeration. There is no far-fetched strain of reasoning, nor any
+     attempt at fine writing in these discourses; but the mind of the
+     reader is directed, by a well-managed series of divisions, to the
+     principal doctrines and duties derivable from the passages under
+     consideration. These sermons will afford to the young clergyman
+     excellent examples of the kind of composition which is calculated
+     to render his pulpit-ministration effectual."--_English Review_.

+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+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
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+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
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+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
+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.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+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
+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.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+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.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+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.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     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
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     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
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+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 F3.  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 MERCHANTIBILITY 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, is 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 web page at https://www.pglaf.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.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  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
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org

+
+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 https://pglaf.org
+
+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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.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 thirty 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.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://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.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year. For example:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)

+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
