+ <h3>OLIVER CROMWELL AS A FEOFFEE OF PARSON'S CHARITY, ELY</h3>
+
+ <p>There is in Ely, where Cromwell for some years resided, an
+ extensive charity known as Parson's Charity, of which he was a
+ feoffee or governor. The following paper, which was submitted
+ to Mr. Carlyle for the second or third edition of his work,
+ contains all the references to the great Protector which are to
+ be found in the papers now in the possession of the trustees.
+ The appointment of Oliver Cromwell as a feoffee does not appear
+ in any of the documents now remaining with the governors of the
+ charity. The records of the proceedings if the feoffees of his
+ time consist only of the collector's yearly accounts of monies
+ received and expended, and do not show the appointments of the
+ feoffees. These accounts were laid before the feoffees from
+ time to time, and signed by them in testimony of their
+ allowance.</p>
+
+ <p>Cromwell's name might therefore be expected to be found at
+ the foot of some of them; but it unfortunately happens that,
+ from the year 1622 to the year 1641, there is an hiatus in the
+ accounts. At the end of Book No. 1., between forty and fifty
+ leaves have been cut away, and at the commencement of Book no.
+ 2. about twelve leaves more. Whether some collector of
+ curiosities has purloined these leaves for the sale of any
+ autographs of Cromwell contained in them, or whether their
+ removal may be accounted for by the questions which arose at
+ the latter end of the above period as to the application of the
+ funds of the charity, cannot now be ascertained.</p>
+
+ <p>There are however, still in the possession of the governors
+ of the charity, several documents which clearly show that from
+ the year 1635 to the year 1641 Cromwell was a feoffee or
+ governor, and took an active part in the management of the
+ affairs of the charity. There is an original bond, dated the
+ 30th of May, 1638, from one Robert Newborne to "Daniell
+ Wigmore, Archdeacon of Ely, Oliver Cromwell, Esq., and the rest
+ of the Corporation of Ely." The feoffees had then been
+ incorporated by royal charter, under the title of "The
+ Governors of the Lands and Possessions of the Poor of the City
+ or Town of Ely."</p>
+
+ <p>There are some detached collectors' accounts extending over
+ a portion of the interval between 1622 and 1641, and indorsed,
+ "The Accoumpts of Mr. John Hand and Mr. William Cranford,
+ Collectors of the Revenewes belonging to the Towne of Ely."</p>
+
+ <p>The following entries are extracted from these
+ accounts:&mdash;</p>
+

+
+ <p>Mr. Cranford's disbursements show no dates. His receipts
+ immediately followed Mr. Hand's in point of dates.</p>
+
+ <p>About the year 1639 a petition was filed in the Court of
+ Chancery by one Thomas Fowler, on behalf of himself and others,
+ inhabitants of Ely, against the feoffees of Parson's Charity,
+ and a commission for charitable uses was issued. The
+ commissioners sat at Ely, on the 25th of January, 1641, and at
+ Cambridge on the 3rd of March in the same year, when several of
+ the feoffees with other persons were examined.</p>
+
+ <p>At the conclusion of the joint deposition of John Hand and
+ William Cranford, two of the feoffees, is the following
+ statement:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"And as to the Profitts of the said Lands in theire tyme
+ receaved, they never disposed of any parte thereof but by
+ the direction and appointment of Mr. Daniell Wigmore,
+ Archdeacon of Ely, Mr. William March, and Mr. Oliver
+ Cromwell."</p>
+
+ <p>"These last two names were inserted att Camb. 8 Mar.
+ 1641, by Mr. Hy. C."</p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p>The last name in the above note is illegible, and the last
+ two names in the deposition are of a different ink and
+ handwriting from the preceding part, but of the same ink and
+ writing as the note.</p>
+
+ <p>An original summons to the feoffees, signed by the
+ commissioners, is preserved. It requires them to appear before
+ the commissioners at the Dolphin Inn, in Ely, on the 25th of
+ the then instant January, to produce before the commissioners a
+ true account "of the monies, fines, rents, and profits by you
+ and every of you and your predecessors feoffees receaved out of
+ the lands given by one Parsons for the benefitt of the
+ inhabitants of Ely for 16 years past," &amp;c. The summons is
+ dated at Cambridge, the 13th of January, 1641, and is signed by
+ the three commissioners,</p>
+
+ <div class="poem">
+ <div class="stanza">
+ <p>"Tho. Symon.</p>
+
+ <p>Tho. Duckett.</p>
+
+ <p>Dudley Page."</p>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+
+ <p>The summons is addressed</p>
+
+ <div class="poem">
+ <div class="stanza">
+ <p>"To Matthew, Lord Bishop of Ely,</p>
+
+ <p class="i2">Willm. Fuller, Deane of Ely, and to</p>

+ </div>
+
+ <p>Whether Cromwell attended the sitting of the commissioners
+ does not appear.</p>
+
+ <p>The letter from Cromwell to Mr. John Hand, published in
+ Cromwell's _Memoirs of Cromwell_, has not been in the
+ possession of the feoffees for some years.</p>
+
+ <p>There is, however, an item in Mr. Hand's disbursements,
+ which probably refers to the person mentioned in that letter.
+ It is as follows:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <table summary="Phisicke"
+ align="center"
+ width="80%">
+ <tr>

+

+ </tr>
+ </table>
+
+ <p>Cromwell's letter appears to be at a later date than this
+ item.</p>
+
+ <p>John Hand was a feoffee for many years, and during his time
+ executed, as was usual, the office of collector or treasurer.
+ It may be gathered from the documents preserved that Cromwell
+ never executed that office. The office was usually taken by the
+ feoffees in turn then, as at the present time; but Cromwell
+ most probably was called to a higher sphere of action before
+ his turn arrived.</p>
+
+ <p>It is worthy of note, that Cromwell's fellow-trustees, the
+ Bishop of Ely (who was the celebrated Matthew Wren), Fuller the
+ Dean, and Wigmore the Archdeacon, were all severely handled
+ during the Rebellion.</p>

+ <h3>DR. SAM. PARR AND DR. JOHN TAYLOR, OF SHREWSBURY AND
+ SHREWSBURY SCHOOL.</h3>
+
+ <p>Looking at the Index to the _Memoirs of Gilbert Wakefield_,
+ edit. of 1804, I saw, under the letter T., the following
+ entries:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <div class="poem">
+ <div class="stanza">
+ <p>"Taylor, Rev. Dr. John, Tutor of Warrington Academy,
+ i. 226.</p>
+
+ <p>&mdash;&mdash; his latinity, why faulty, ii.
+ 449."</p>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+
+ <p>But I instantly suspected an error: for it was my belief
+ that those two notices were designed for two distinct scholars.
+ Accordingly, I revised both passages, and found that I was
+ right in my conjecture. The facts are these:&mdash;In the
+ former of the references, "The Rev. John Taylor, D.D.," is
+ pointed out. The other individual, of the same name, was John
+ Taylor, LL.D., a native of Shrewsbury, and a pupil of
+ Shrewsbury School: HIS <i>latinity</i> it is which Dr. Samuel
+ Parr [<i>ut supr.</i>] characterises as FAULTY: and for the
+ defects of which he endeavours, successfully or otherwise, to
+ account. So that whosoever framed the <i>Index</i> has here
+ committed an oversight.</p>
+
+ <p>In the quotation which I proceed to make, Parr is assigning
+ causes of what, as I think, he truly deemed blemishes in G.
+ Wakefield's Latin style; and this is the language of the not
+ unfriendly censor:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"&mdash;None, I fear, of his [W.'s] Latin productions
+ are wholly free from faults, which he would have been
+ taught to avoid in our best public seminaries, and of which
+ I have seen many glaring instances in the works of
+ Archbishop Potter, Dr. John Taylor, Mr. Toup, and several
+ eminent scholars now living, who were brought up in private
+ schools."</p>
+ </blockquote><span class="pagenum"><a name="page467"
+ id="page467"></a>{467}</span>
+
+ <p>But could Parr mean to rank Shrewsbury School among the
+ "private schools?" I am not old enough to recollect what it was
+ in the times of Taylor, J., the civilian, and the editor of
+ Demosthenes. Its celebrity, however, in our own day, and
+ through a long term of preceding years, is confessed. Dr.
+ Parr's judgement in this case might be somewhat influenced by
+ his prepossessions as an <i>Harrovian</i>.</p>

+
+ <h3>PROVINCIAL WORDS.</h3>
+
+ <p>In <i>Twelfth Night</i>, Act ii. Scene 3., occur the words
+ "Sneck up," in C. Knight's edition, or "Snick up," Mr.
+ Collier's edition. These words appear most unaccountably to
+ have puzzled the commentators. Sir Toby Belch uses them in
+ reply to Malvolio, as,&mdash;</p>
+
+ <center>
+ <i>Enter</i> MALVOLIO.
+ </center>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"<i>Mal.</i> My masters, are you mad? or what are you?
+ Have you no wit, manners, nor honesty, but to gabble like
+ tinkers at this time of night? Do you make an alehouse of
+ my lady's house, that you squeak out your cozier's catches
+ without any mitigation or remorse of voice? Is there no
+ respect of place, person, nor time, in you?</p>
+
+ <p>"<i>Sir To.</i> We did keep time, Sir, in our catches.
+ Sneck up!"</p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p>"Sneck up," according to Mr. C. Knight, is explained
+ thus:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"A passage in Taylor, the Water Poet, would show that
+ this means 'hang yourself.' A verse from his 'Praise of
+ Hempseed' is given in illustration."</p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p>"Snick up," according to Mr. Collier, is said to be "a term
+ of contempt," of which the precise meaning seems to have been
+ lost. Various illustrations are given, as see his Note; but all
+ are wide of the meaning.</p>
+
+ <p>Turn to Halliwell's <i>Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial
+ Words</i>, 2d edition, and there is this
+ explanation:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"SNECK, that part of the iron fastening of a door which
+ is raised by moving the latch. To <i>sneck</i> a door, is
+ to latch it."</p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p>See also Burn's Poems: <i>The Vision, Duan First</i>, 7th
+ verse, which is as follows:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <div class="poem">
+ <div class="stanza">
+ <p>"When dick! the string the snick did
+ draw,&mdash;</p>
+
+ <p>And jee! the door gaed to the wa';</p>
+
+ <p>An' by my ingle-lowe I saw,</p>

+
+ <p>These quotations will clearly show that "sneck" or "snick"
+ applies to a door; and that to <i>sneck</i> a door is to shut
+ it. I think, therefore, that Sir Toby meant to say in the
+ following reply:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"We did keep time, Sir, in our catches. Sneck up!"</p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p>That is, close up, shut up, or, as is said now, "bung
+ up,"&mdash;emphatically, "We kept true time;" and the
+ probability is, that in saying this, Sir Toby would accompany
+ the words with the action of pushing an imaginary door; or
+ <i>sneck up</i>.</p>
+
+ <p>In the country parts of Lancashire, and indeed throughout
+ the North of England, and it appears Scotland also, the term
+ "sneck the door" is used indiscriminately with "shut the door"
+ or "toin't dur." And there can be little doubt but that this
+ provincialism was known to Shakspeare, as his works are full of
+ such; many of which have either been passed over by his
+ commentators, or have been wrongly noted, as the one now under
+ consideration.</p>
+
+ <p>Shakspeare was essentially a man of the people; his learning
+ was from within, not from colleges or schools, but from the
+ universe and himself. He wrote the language of the people; that
+ is, the common every-day language of his time: and hence mere
+ classical scholars have more than once mistaken him, and most
+ egregiously misinterpreted him, as I propose to show in some
+ future Notes.</p>

+ <h3>FOLK LORE.</h3>
+
+ <p><i>Death-bed Superstition</i>. (No. 20. p. 315.).&mdash;The
+ practice of opening doors and boxes when a person dies, is
+ founded on the idea that the ministers of purgatorial pains
+ took the soul as it escaped from the body, and flattening it
+ against some closed door (which alone would serve the purpose),
+ crammed it into the hinges and hinge openings; thus the soul in
+ torment was likely to be miserably pinched and squeezed by the
+ movement on casual occasion of such door or lid: an open or
+ swinging door frustrated this, and the fiends had to try some
+ other locality. The friends of the departed were at least
+ assured that they were not made the unconscious instruments of
+ torturing the departed in their daily occupations. The
+ superstition prevails in the North as well as in the West of
+ England; and a similar one exists in the South of Spain, where
+ I have seen it practised.</p>
+
+ <p>Among the Jews at Gibraltar, at which place I have for many
+ years been a resident, there is also a strange custom when a
+ death occurs in the house; and this consists in pouring away
+ all the water contained in any vessel, the superstition being
+ that the angel of death may have washed his sword therein.</p>

+ <p><i>Sir Thomas Boleyn's Spectre</i>.&mdash;Sir Thomas Boleyn,
+ the father of the unfortunate Queen of Henry VIII., resided at
+ Blickling, distant about fourteen miles from Norwich, and now
+ the residence of the dowager Lady Suffield. The spectre of this
+ gentleman is believed by the vulgar to be doomed, annually, on
+ a certain night in the year, to drive, for a period of 1000
+ years, a coach drawn by four headless horses, over a circuit of
+ twelve bridges in that vicinity. These are Aylsham, Burgh,
+ Oxnead, Buxton, Coltishall, the two Meyton bridges, Wroxham,
+ and four others whose names I do not recollect. Sir Thomas
+ carries his head under his arm, and flames issue from his
+ mouth. Few rustics are hardy enough to be found loitering on or
+ near those bridges on that night; and my informant averred,
+ that he was himself on one occasion hailed by this fiendish
+ apparition, and asked to open a gate, but "he warn't sich a
+ fool as to turn his head; and well a' didn't, for Sir Thomas
+ passed him full gallop like:" and he heard a voice which told
+ him that he (Sir Thomas) had no power to hurt such as turned a
+ deaf ear to his requests, but that had he stopped he would have
+ carried him off.</p>
+
+ <p>This tradition I have repeatedly heard in this neighbourhood
+ from aged persons when I was a child, but I never found but one
+ person who had ever actually <i>seen</i> the phantom. Perhaps
+ some of your correspondents can give some clue to this
+ extraordinary sentence. The coach and four horses is attached
+ to another tradition I have heard in the west of Norfolk; where
+ the ancestor of a family is reported to drive his spectral team
+ through the old walled-up gateway of his now demolished
+ mansion, on the anniversary of his death: and it is said that
+ the bricks next morning have ever been found loosened and
+ fallen, though as constantly repaired. The particulars of this
+ I could easily procure by reference to a friend.</p>

+
+ <h3>NUMISMATIC QUERIES.</h3>
+
+ <p>Can any numismatical contributor give me any information as
+ to the recurrence elsewhere, &amp;c., of the following types of
+ coins in my possession:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <p>1. A coin of the size of Roman 1 B., of the province of
+ Macedonia Prima.&mdash;<i>Obv.</i> A female head, with symbols
+ behind, and a rich floriated edge: <i>Rev.</i> A club within an
+ oaken garland: Legend in the field,
+ &Mu;&Alpha;&Kappa;&Epsilon;&Delta;&Omicron;&Nu;&Omega;&Nu;

+
+ <p>The type is illustrated by Dr. Horne, in his <i>Introduction
+ to the Study of the Bible</i>, in explanation of Acts, xvi. 11,
+ 12. The specimen in my possession is in <i>lead</i>, finely
+ struck, and therefore not a <i>cast</i>, and in all respects
+ equal in point of sharpness and execution to the silver of the
+ same size and type in the British Museum; and was dug up by a
+ labourer at Chesterton, near Cambridge. How is the metal of
+ which my specimen is composed to be accounted for?</p>

+
+ <h3>QUERIES PROPOSED, NO. 2.</h3>
+
+ <p>When reflecting on my various pen-and-ink skirmishes, I have
+ sometimes half-resolved to <i>avoid controversy</i>. The
+ resolution would have been unwise; for silence, on many
+ occasions, would be a dereliction of those duties which we owe
+ to ourselves and the public.</p>
+
+ <p>The halcyon days, so much desired, may be far distant! I
+ have to comment, elsewhere, on certain parts of the
+ <i>Report</i> of the commissioners on the British
+ Museum&mdash;which I hope to do firmly, yet respectfully; and
+ on the evidence of Mr. Panizzi&mdash;in which task I must not
+ disappoint his just expectations. I have also to propose a
+ query on the <i>blunder of Malone</i>&mdash;to which I give
+ precedence, as it relates to Shakspeare.</p>
+
+ <p>The query is&mdash;have I "mistaken the whole affair"? A few
+ short paragraphs may enable others to decide.</p>
+
+ <p>1. The question at issue arose, I presume to say, out of the
+ <i>statement of Mr. Jebb</i>. I never quoted the Irish edition.
+ If <i>C.</i> can prove that Malone superintended it, he may
+ fairly tax me with a violation of my new canon of
+ criticism&mdash;not otherwise. What says Mr. James Boswell on
+ that point? I must borrow his precise words: "The only edition
+ for which Mr. Malone can be considered as responsible [is] his
+ own in 1790." [<i>Plays and poems of W.S.</i> 1821, i.
+ xxxiii.]</p>
+
+ <p>2. I am said to have "repeated what <i>C.</i> had already
+ stated."&mdash;I consulted the <i>Shakspere</i> of Malone, and
+ verified my recollections, when the query of "Mr. JEBB"
+ appeared&mdash;but forbore to notice its misconceptions.
+ Besides, one <i>C.</i>, after an interval of two months, merely
+ <i>asserted</i> that it was not a blunder of Malone; the other
+ C. furnished, off-hand, his proofs and references.</p>
+
+ <p>3. To argue fairly, we must use the same words in the same
+ sense. Now <i>C.</i> (No. 24. p. 386.) asserts the <i>Malone
+ had never seen</i> the introductory fragment; and asks, who
+ <i>forged</i> it? He uses the word <i>fabrication</i> in the
+ sense of forgery.&mdash;The facts are produced (No. 25. p.
+ 404.). He is informed that the <i>audacious fabrication</i>,
+ which took place before 1770, was first published by Malone
+ himself, in 1790&mdash;yet he expects me to apply the same
+ terms to the blunder committed by another editor in 1794.</p>
+
+ <p>4. As an answer to my assertion that the Irish editor
+ <i>attempted to unite</i> the two fragments, <i>C.</i> proceeds
+ to prove that he <i>did not unite them</i>. The procedure is
+ rather defective in point of logical exactness. It proves only
+ what was not denied. Malone refers to the <i>will of John
+ Shakspere, found by Joseph Moseley</i>, with sufficient
+ clearness; and it is charitable to assume that the Irish editor
+ intended to observe the instructions of his precursor. He
+ failed, it seems&mdash;but why? It would be useless to go in
+ search of the rationale of a blunder.</p>
+
+ <p>Have I "<i>mistaken the whole affair</i>"?&mdash;I entreat
+ those readers of the "NOTES AND QUERIES" who may take up the
+ affirmative side of the question to point out my errors,
+ whether as to facts or inferences.</p>

+ name="footnotetag1"></a><a href="#footnote1"><sup>1</sup></a>,
+ who supposes it to have been built by Brutus, 1108 years
+ before the Christian era. Mr. Polwhele, who supposed the
+ numerous <i>Hams</i> in Devon to have owed their names to
+ the worship of Jupiter <i>Hammon</i>, would, I imagine, have
+ derived Totnes from the Egyptian god Thoth or Taut; or,
+ perhaps, directly from King Thothmes. Westcote observes that
+ some would have the name from,&mdash;</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"The French word <i>tout-à-l'aise</i>, which is in
+ English, all at ease; as if Brutus at his arrival in such a
+ pleasant soil ... should here assure himself and his
+ fellow-travellers of ease, rest, and content; and the
+ <i>l</i>, in this long time, is changed into <i>n</i>, and
+ so from <i>tout-à-lesse</i> we now call it
+ <i>tout-à-nesse</i>, and briefly Totnessse. This would <i>I
+ willingly applaud, could I think or believe that Brutus
+ spake so good French</i>, or that the French tongue was
+ then spoken at all. Therefore, I shall with the more ease
+ join in opinion with those who would have it named
+ <i>Dodonesse</i>, which signifieth [in what language?] the
+ rocky-town, or town on stones, which is also agreeable with
+ the opinion of Leland."</p>

+ <h2>REPLIES.</h2>
+
+ <h3>DR. PERCY AND THE POEMS OF THE EARL OF SURREY.</h3>
+
+ <p>I have the means of showing what Dr. Percy did with the
+ poems of the Earl of Surrey, because I have a copy of the work
+ now before me.</p>
+
+ <p>It can hardly be said that he "prepared an edition" of those
+ poems, as supposed by your correspondent "G." on the authority
+ of Watts's <i>Bibliotheca Britannica</i>, but he made an exact
+ reprint of the <i>Songes and Sonnettes written by the Right
+ Honorable Lorde Henry Haward, late Earle of Surrey, and
+ other</i>, which was printed <i>Apud Richardum Tottell. Cum
+ privilegio ad imprimendum solum</i>. 1557. The Bishop of
+ Dromere made no attempt at editing the work much beyond what
+ was necessary to secure an exact reimpression. He prefixed no
+ Life of Surrey (a point "G." wishes to ascertain); and, in
+ fact, the book was never completed. It contains considerably
+ more than the reprint of the poems of Lord Surrey, and was
+ intended to consist of two volumes with separate pagination;
+ the first volume extending to p. 272., and the second to p.
+ 342.</p>
+
+ <p>As the work is a rarity, owing to an unfortunate accident,
+ some of your readers may like to see a brief notice of it.
+ Watts (as quoted by "G." for I have not his portly volumes at
+ hand,) states that the "whole impression" was "consumed in the
+ fire which took place in Mr. Nicholls's premises in 1808." This
+ was a mistake, as my extant copy establishes; and
+ <i>Restituta</i> (iii. 451.) informs us that <i>four</i> were
+ saved. Of the history of my own impression I know nothing
+ beyond the fact, that I paid a very high price for it some
+ twenty years since, at an auction; but the late Mr. Grenville
+ had another copy, which I had an opportunity of seeing, and
+ which had belonged to T. Park, and had been sent to him by Dr.
+ Percy for the advantage of his notes and remarks. This, I
+ presume, is now in the British Museum; whither it came with the
+ rest of Mr. Grenville's books, four or five years ago.</p>
+
+ <p>The "Songs and Sonnets" of Surrey occupy only the first
+ forty pages of vol. i.; then follow "Songs and sonnets" by Sir
+ Thomas Wyat to p. 111. inclusive; and they are succeeded by
+ poems "of uncertain authors," which occupy the rest of the the
+ first volume. The second volume begins with "The Seconde Boke
+ of Virgiles Ænæis," filling thirty pages; while "the Fourth
+ Boke" ends at p. 57., with the imprint of R. Tottell, and the
+ date of 1557. "Ecclesiastes and Certain Psalms by by Henry Earl
+ of Surrey," which are "from ancient MSS. never before
+ imprinted," close at p. 81. "Certayne Psalmes chosen out of the
+ Psalter of David," consisting of the seven penitential psalms,
+ with the imprint of Thomas Raynald and John Harrington," fill
+ thirty pages; and to them is added "Sir Thomas Wyat's Defence,"
+ from the Strawberry Hill edition; which, with a few appended
+ notes, carries the work on to p. 141.</p>
+
+ <p>A new title-page, at which we now arrive, shows us the
+ intention of Dr. Percy, and the object at which he had all
+ along aimed: it runs thus:&mdash;"Poems in Bland Verse (not
+ Dramatique) prior to Milton's <i>Paradise Lost.</i> Subsequent
+ to Lord Surrey's in this Volume, and to N.G.'s in the
+ preceding." In truth, Dr. Percy was making a collection in the
+ two volumes of all the English undramatic blank verse he could
+ discover, prior to the publication of Milton's great poem. He
+ was guilty of some important omissions, because bibliographical
+ knowledge was not then as far advanced as at present, but he
+ performed good service to letters as far as he was able to go;
+ and the blank verse productions he subjoins are by George

+ Evangelists, which gave rise to the well-known paintings of
+ these latter. He quotes from <i>Iren. adv. Hoer.</i> lib. iii.
+ cap. 11.:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"The first living creature, which is like a lion,
+ signifies Christ's efficacy, principality, and regality,
+ viz. John; the second, like a calf, denotes His sacerdotal
+ order, viz. Luke; the third, having as it were, a man's
+ face, describes His coming in the flesh as man, viz.
+ Matthew; and the fourth, like a flying eagle, manifests the
+ grace of the Spirit flying into the Church, viz. Mark."</p>
+ </blockquote><span class="pagenum"><a name="page472"

+
+ <p>There is also an interesting passage in <i>Dionys Carthus.

+ extract:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"Although the above exposition of Gregorius, in which by
+ the man in meant Matthew, by the calf Luke, &amp;c., be the
+ common one, yet other holy men have held a different
+ opinion, for as Bede relates on this point, Augustine
+ understood by the lion Matthew, because in the beginning of
+ his Gospel he describes the <i>royal</i> descent of Christ;
+ by the calf he also understood Luke, because he wrote of
+ the <i>priestly</i> descent of Our Lord; by the man Mark,
+ because he omits the question of Christ's birth, and
+ confines himself more especially to describing His acts as
+ a <i>man</i>; by the eagle, <i>all</i> understand John, on
+ account of the sublimity to which his Gospel soars. Others
+ again understand by the lion Matthew; by the calf Mark, on
+ account of the simplicity of his style; and by the man
+ Luke, because he has more fully treated of Christ's

+
+ <p>Your correspondent "JARLZBERG" (No. 24. p. 385.) inquires
+ for the origin of the Evangelistic symbols. The four living
+ creatures, in Ezekiel, i. 10., and Revelations, iv. 7., were
+ interpreted from the earliest times to represent the four
+ Gospels. Why the angel is attributed to St. Matthew, the lion
+ to St. Mark, and so on, is another question: but their order in
+ Ezekiel corresponds with the order of the Gospels as we have
+ them. Durandus would probably furnish some information. The
+ fabulous legend of the lion savours of a later origin. Some
+ valuable remarks on the subject, and a list of references to
+ early writers, will be found in Dr. Wordsworth's <i>Lectures on
+ the Canon of Scripture</i> (Lect. VI. p. 151.), and his
+ <i>Lectures on the Apocalypse</i> (Lect. IV. pp. 116, 117.)</p>

+ <h3>COMPLEXION.</h3>
+
+ <p><i>Complexion</i> is usually (and I think universally)
+ employed to express the <i>tint of the skin</i>; and the hair
+ and eyes are spoken of separately when the occasion demands a
+ specific reference to them. "NEMO" (No. 22. p. 352.), moreover,
+ seems to confound the terms "white" and "fair," between the
+ meanings of which there is considerable difference. A white
+ skin is not fair, nor a fair skin white. There is no close
+ approach of one to the other; and indeed we never see a white
+ complexion, except the chalked faces in a Christmas of Easter
+ Pantomime, or in front of Richardson's booth at Greenwich or
+ Charlton Fair. A contemplation of these would tell us what the
+ "human face divine" would become, were we any of us truly
+ <i>white-skinned</i>.</p>
+
+ <p>The skin diverges in tint from the white, in one direction
+ towards the yellow, and in another towards the red or pink;
+ whilst sometimes we witness a seeming tinge of
+ blue,&mdash;characteristic of asphyxia, cholera, or some other
+ disease. We often see a mixture of red and yellow (the yellow
+ predominating) in persons subject to bilious complaints; and
+ not unfrequently a mixture of all three, forming what the
+ painters call a "neutral tint," and which is more commonly
+ called "an olive complexion."</p>
+
+ <p>The negro skin is black; that is, it does not separate the
+ sun's light into the elementary colours. When, by the admixture
+ of the coloured races with the negro, we find coloured skins,
+ they <i>always</i> tend to the yellow, as in the various
+ mulatto shades of the West Indies, and especially in the
+ Southern States of America; and the same is true of the
+ "half-castes" of British India, though with a distinct darkness
+ or blackness, which the descendant of the negro does not
+ generally show.</p>
+
+ <p>Though I have, in accordance with the usual language of
+ philosophers, spoken of <i>blue</i> as an element in the colour
+ of the skin, I have some doubt whether it be a "true blue" or
+ not. It is quite as likely to arise from a partial
+ participation in the quality of the negro skin&mdash;that of
+ absorbing a large portion of the light without any analysis
+ whatever. This may be called <i>darkness</i>.</p>
+
+ <p>However, to return to the Query: the term <i>pale</i> is
+ applied to the yellow-tinted skin; <i>fair</i>, to the red or
+ pink; <i>brown</i>, to the mixture of red and yellow, with
+ either blue or such darkness as above described; <i>sallow</i>,
+ to yellow and darkness; and the only close approach to
+ <i>whiteness</i> that we ever see, is in the sick room of the
+ long-suffering fair complexion. In death, this changes to a
+ "blackish grey," a mixture of white and darkness.</p>
+
+ <p>The <i>pale</i> complexion indicates a thick, hard, dry
+ skin; the <i>fair</i>, a thin and soft one; and all the shades
+ of dark skin render a large amount of ablution essential to
+ health, comfort, or agreeableness to others. If any of your
+ readers should <span class="pagenum"><a name="page473"
+ id="page473"></a>{473}</span> feel curious about the
+ characters of the wearers of these several skins, they must
+ inquire of Lavater and his disciples.</p>

+ <h2>REPLIES TO MINOR QUERIES.</h2>
+
+ <p><i>Cavell</i>.&mdash;In the time of Charles I., a large
+ tract of land lying south-eastward of Doncaster, called
+ Hatfield Chace, was undertaken to be drained and made fit for
+ tillage and pasture by one Sir Cornelius Vermuyden, a
+ celebrated Flemish engineer of that day, and his partners, or
+ "participants," in the scheme, all or most of them Dutchmen.
+ The lands drained were said to be "<i>cavelled and
+ allotted</i>" to so and so, and the pieces of land were called
+ "<i>cavells</i>." They were "scottled," or made subject to a
+ tax or assessment for drainage purposes. Two eminent
+ topographical writers of the present day are inclined to be of
+ opinion that this word <i>cavell</i> is connected with the
+ Saxon <i>gafol</i>, gavel-tributum&mdash;money paid&mdash;which
+ we have in <i>gavel-kind</i> and <i>gavelage</i>. One of them,
+ however, suggests that the word <i>may</i> be only a term used
+ in Holland as applicable to land, and then introduced by the
+ Dutch at the time of the drainage in question. I shall be
+ obliged if any of your readers can inform me if the word
+ "cavell" is so used in Holland, or elsewhere, either as
+ denoting any particular quantity of land, or land laid under
+ any tax, or <i>tributum</i>, or otherwise.</p>

+
+ <p>Pimlico kept a place of entertainment in or near Hoxton, and

+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"A place near Chelsea is still called Pimlico, and was
+ resorted to within these few years, on the same account as
+ the former at Hogsdon."</p>

+ the following passage:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"Monteith informs us, that during the Commonwealth,
+ overtures were made on behalf of the Hebrews
+ <span class="pagenum"><a name="page475"

+ Council of War, through the medium of two popular
+ adherents of the parliamentarians; the Jews offered to
+ pay for the privileges then sought by them, the sum of
+ 500,000<i>l.</i>; several debates took place on the
+ subject, but the <i>ultimatum</i> of the Puritans being
+ 800,000<i>l.</i>, the negotiation was broken off."</p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p>The authorities cited on this point by the learned writer
+ are, Monteith's <i>History of Great Britain</i>, p. 473.; and
+ Thurloe's <i>State Papers</i>, vol. ii. p. 652.</p>
+
+ <p>On reference to Monteith, I find the following
+ passage:&mdash;</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"What is very remarkable in this is, that the Jews, who
+ crucified the Son of God, by whom Kings reign, took then
+ occasion of the conjuncture which seemed favourable to
+ them. They presented a petition to the Council of War, who
+ crucified Him again in the person of the King, His
+ Vicegerent in the kingdoms over which God had set him. By
+ their petition, they requested that the act of their
+ banishment might be repealed and <i>that they might have

+
+ <p>I conclude that the author of the <i>Status of the Jews</i>,
+ by omitting to notice the alleged desire of the Jews to obtain
+ St. Paul's Cathedral, considered that the acrimonious
+ statements of Monteith were not borne out by accredited or
+ unprejudiced authorities; for it is but justice to state, it
+ has been admitted by some of our most eminent critics, that Mr.

+ fashion to employ them in the way in which we now use the first
+ two. There are only two offices, the Catechism and the
+ Solemnisation of Matrimony, in which more than one letter is
+ used. In the former, the answer to the first question has
+ always stood "N. or M." In the office of Matrimony, however, in
+ Edward the Sixth's Prayer Books, both the man and woman are
+ designated by the letter N&mdash;"I, N., take thee, N., to my
+ wedded wife;" whilst in our present book M. is applied to the
+ man and N. to the woman. The adoption of one letter, and the
+ subsequent substitution of another, in this service, evidently
+ for the sake of a more clear distinction only, sufficiently
+ shows that no particular name or word was intended by either.
+ Possibly some future "J.C." may inquire of what words the

+ of your most welcome and useful publication, will you allow me
+ to say, touching the inquiry as to the derivation and meaning
+ of the word "Finkle" or "Finkel" as applied to a street, that
+ the Danish word "Vincle" applied to an angle or corner, is
+ perhaps a more satisfactory derivation than "fynkylsede,
+ <i>feniculum</i>," the meaning suggested by your correspondent
+ "L." in No. 26. p. 419. It is in towns where there are traces
+ of Danish occupation that a "Finkle Street" is found; at least
+ many of the northern towns which have a street so designated
+ were inhabited by the Danish people, and some of those streets
+ are winding or angular. Finchale, a place, as you know, of fame
+ in monastic annals, is a green secluded spot, half insulated by
+ a bend of the river Wear; and Godric's Garth, the adjacent
+ locality of the hermitage of its famous saint, is of an angular
+ form. But then the place is mentioned, by the name of Finchale,
+ as the scene of occurrences that long preceded the coming of
+ the Danes; and the second syllable may be derived from the
+ Saxon "alh" or "healh," as the place was distinguished for a
+ building there in Saxon times.</p>

+ <p><i>Hanap.</i>&mdash;Among the specimens of ancient and
+ mediæval art now exhibiting in John Street, Adelphi, I was
+ struck with the number of gilt cups, called in the catalogue
+ <i>hanaps</i>. The word was new to me; but I have since met
+ with it (as frequently happens after one's interest has been
+ excited with respect to a word) in Walter Scott's <i>Quentin
+ Durward</i>, in vol. i. chap. 3.; or rather, vol. xxxi. p. 60.
+ of the edition in 48 vols., Cadell,
+ <span class="pagenum"><a name="page478"
+ id="page478"></a>{478}</span> 1831; in which place the
+ context of the scene appears to connect the idea of
+ <i>hanap</i> with a cup containing treasure.</p>
+
+ <p>Now I cannot find <i>hanap</i> in any dictionary to which I
+ have access; but I find <i>hanaper</i> in every one. Johnson,
+ and others, give the word <i>Hanaper</i> as synonymous with
+ <i>treasury</i> or <i>exchequer</i>. They also contract
+ <i>Hanaper</i> into <i>Hamper</i>. For example, in Dyche's
+ <i>English Dictionary</i>, 17th ed. Lond. 1794, we
+ have,&mdash;</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"<i>Hamper</i>, or <i>Hanaper</i>, a wicker basket made
+ with a cover to fasten it up with; also, an office in
+ Chancery; the clerk or warden of the <i>Hanaper</i>
+ receives all monies due to the king for seals of charters,
+ &amp;c.... and takes into his custody all sealed charters,
+ patents, &amp;c.,... which he now puts into bags, but
+ anciently, it is supposed, into <i>Hampers</i>, which gave
+ the denomination to the office."</p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p>And perhaps it may be remarked here, since we commonly say
+ of a man in difficulties that he is "exchequered" or in
+ "chancery," that so we probably intend to express the same,
+ when we say a man is <i>hanapered</i>, or <i>hampered</i>.</p>
+
+ <p>Thus, there is no difficulty about the meaning of
+ <i>Hanaper</i>; and its connection with <i>treasure</i> is
+ plain and clear enough: and, with respect to <i>cups</i>,
+ though chiefly used for drinking, the presentation of them with
+ sums of money in them has ever been, and indeed is, so very
+ customary, that it is needless to occupy space here with
+ instances. But I cannot distinctly connect the <i>hanap</i> of
+ the exhibition with <i>hanaper</i>: and I perhaps ought to look
+ in another direction for its true signification and
+ etymology.</p>

+ brought Monmouth to the King for reconciliation, I have, by Mr.

+ present form is a work of the thirteenth century&mdash;without
+ being struck with the innate power and character of the
+ original poem; and without feeling grateful to Mr. Lettsom for
+ furnishing them with so pleasing and spirited a version of
+ it.</p>
+
+ <p>Captain Curling, Clerk of the Cheque of what was formerly
+ designated the Band of Gentleman Pensioners, has, under the
+ influence of a laudable <i>esprit de corps</i>, combined the
+ disjointed materials which Pegge had collected upon the subject
+ with the fruits of his own researches; and, under the title of
+ <i>Some Account of the Ancient Corp of Gentlemen-at-Arms</i>,
+ has produced a volume of great interest doubtless to his
+ "brothers in arms," and containing some curious illustrations
+ of court ceremonial.<a id="footnotetag9"

+
+ <p>Mr. Timbs, the editor of <i>The Year-Book of Facts</i>,
+ &amp;c., announces for early publication a work on which he has
+ been engaged for some time, entitled <i>Curiosities of
+ London</i>. It will, we believe, be altogether of a different
+ character from Mr. Cunningham's <i>Handbook</i>, and treat
+ rather of present London and its amusements than those of
+ historical and literary associations which give a charm to Mr.
+ Cunningham's volume.</p>
+
+ <p>We are glad to find that the most mysterious and mystified
+ portion of the Greek Geometry is likely to receive at last a
+ complete elucidation&mdash;we mean the "Porisms." There are so
+ many questions arising out of this subject, respecting the
+ development of the Grecian intellect, that a full discussion of
+ them is no easy task; especially of those arising out of the
+ conflicting testimonies furnished by history, and by the
+ internal evidences contained in the existing works of the
+ "fathers of Geometry." We certainly anticipate, from the known
+ character of the minds now engaged in this work, that some
+ conclusive evidence as to the state of geometry anterior to the
+ time of Euclid will be elicited by Messrs. Potts and Davies.
+ The analysis of the writings of all the authors who have
+ treated on the Porism, will form a subject of interest not only
+ for its assigning to every author his fair share of credit for
+ his contributions towards perfecting the poristic method; but
+ for that <i>critical discrimination of principles</i>, which
+ constitutes one of the marked features of Mr. Davies's writings
+ in the archæology of geometry. We shall be glad if his slight
+ notice of the intended work shall bring some accession of aid
+ to the undertaking in the form of subscriptions: as upon
+ adequate support, it appears, must depend whether the work
+ shall go to press, or the project be abandoned.</p>

+ Catalogues are designed to put the reader, as far as possible,
+ in the same position as if he had inspected for himself, at
+ least cursorily, the works described; and, with this view, care
+ has been taken, in drawing up the notices, merely to state
+ facts, with but little comment, and no exaggeration
+ whatever.</p>

+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

+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

+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

+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

+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

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

+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

+ 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.
+

+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

+
+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

+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 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.
+
+
+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.
