+A WORD TO THE LITERARY MEN OF ENGLAND.
+
+    "_Twenty scholars in seven years might retrieve the worst losses we
+    experience from the bigotry of popes and califs._ I do not intend to
+    assert that every Herculanean manuscript might, within that period, be
+    unfolded; but the three first legible sentences might be; which is
+    quite sufficient to inform the intelligent reader whether a farther
+    attempt on the scroll would repay his trouble. _There are fewer than
+    thirty Greek authors worth inquiring for; they exist, beyond doubt, and
+    beyond doubt they may, by attention, patience, and skill, be brought to
+    light._ * * With a _smaller_ sum than is annually expended on the
+    appointment of some silly and impertinent young envoy, we might restore
+    _all_, or _nearly all_ those writers of immortal name, whose
+    disappearance has been the regret of genius for four entire centuries.
+    In my opinion, a _few thousand pounds_, laid out on such an
+    undertaking, would be laid out as creditably as on a Persian carpet or
+    a Turkish tent."--Landor's _Imaginary Conversations--Southey and
+    Porson--Works_, vol. i. p. 20.
+
+I call upon the literary men of England, upon the English government, and
+upon the public, to set the example in a glorious expedition, which, even
+in this age of wonders, is one of no little importance and magnitude. I
+conjure them to bear in mind the words I have placed at the head of this
+article,--the opinion of one of our best and most delightful authors. This
+opinion Mr. Landor, veiled under the eidolon of Porson, I feel assured,
+does not hold alone; I believe it to be engraven on the "red-leaved
+tablets" of the hearts of many more learned and more distinguished scholars
+than myself, who am but as the trumpet which is to rouse the friends of
+classical literature to action; as the bell which awakens the reaper to his
+abundant harvest: but I will sustain, that on none of them is it cut more
+deeply or more inextinguishably than on mine.
+
+I propose that the friends of Classical, Scandinavian, and Oriental
+literature form themselves into an Association for the Rescue of the many
+ancient MSS. in the Greek, Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Norwegian, Zend, Sanscrit,
+Hebrew, Abyssinian, Ethiopian, Hindostanee, Persian, Syriac, Arabic,
+Armenian, Coptic, Turkish, and Chinese languages:--that application be made
+to government for the pecuniary furtherance of this enterprise;--and that
+the active co-operation of all foreign literary men be secured.[1]
+
+Thus a careful and untiring search may be entered upon in all the regions
+of the earth where any MSS. are likely to be found, and the recovery or
+loss of the many inestimable authors of antiquity be made certain. Let the
+libraries of Europe be examined strictly and inquisitorially (and this will
+not be a heavy expense), and the new accessions to classical literature
+printed, the MSS. {162} which present themselves of already known authors
+carefully examined, and the variations to the received text marked. How
+much this is wanted we experience in the corruptions of Sophocles,
+Æschylus, Thucydides, Plato, and Aristoteles! In this way much that is
+valuable may be recovered; much that is matter of discussion set at rest.
+Let me instance the Babrian fables, and the discovery of Mr. Harris at
+Alexandria; who, it was remarked to me, might have discovered the whole,
+instead of a part, had proper hands unfolded the mummy.
+
+On the advantages of this search, it were useless to expatiate: every one
+is sensible of it, and, sooner or later, it _must_ occur. Let us not allow
+our grandchildren to surpass us in everything, but let us set about this
+ourselves. Monstrous as the idea seems, it is simple of execution.
+
+I will not take up the space so kindly afforded me by the Editor of "NOTES
+AND QUERIES" with speculation. The Association should be composed of a
+Literary Section and a Business Section: the first to be under the
+administration of a President and an efficient Board of Examiners, to look
+into literary matters, and examine and appoint the proper officers of the
+Investigation Parties; which parties must be composed of clever,
+adventurous, hardy, and adroit men, obtaining the assistance of the natives
+wherever they may be carrying on their researches; the Second Section to be
+under the direction of a Chairman and Finance Committee, to which the
+officers of the subordinate departments render their accounts.
+
+I know not whether more will be required of me on this subject; very likely
+not: but I reserve much that I could say, until that time. I have now only
+to thank the Editor for inserting this long, but I will not say, wholly
+uninteresting proposal.
+

+
+THE ESSAY ON SATIRE.
+
+Dryden, as sir Walter Scott observes, left a name in literature "second
+only to those of Milton and Shakspere"; but, popular as his writings were,
+he gave no collective edition of his poetical or dramatic works. The
+current editions of his poems may therefore be open to censure, both on the
+score of deficiency and redundancy--and such I believe to be the fact.
+
+An _Essay on satire_, itself a coarse satire, has been ascribed to him for
+more than a century on dubious authority, and the correctness of this
+ascription has been properly suggested as a question for examination.
+
+We have to decide on the credibility of two opposite statements, as made in
+the publications about to be enumerated:--
+
+    1. "The works of John Sheffield, earl of Mulgrave, marquis of Normanby,
+    and duke of Buckingham. LONDON: printed for John Barber, 1723. 4º. 2
+    vols."
+
+    2. "The works of John Sheffield, earl of Mulgrave, marquis of Normanby,
+    and duke of Buckingham. Printed for John Barber, alderman of LONDON,
+    1726. Small 8º. 2 vols."
+
+    3. "Original poems and translations, by John Dryden, Esq. LONDON:
+    printed for J. and R. Tonson, 1743. 12º. 2 vols."
+
+In the two former publications, the poem appears as the entire composition
+of the noble author, and is said to have been "written in the year 1675."
+In the latter publication it appears without date, and is said to be "by
+Mr. Dryden and the earl of Mulgrave."
+
+The publications were posthumous, and as the editors afford no explanation
+of the point in dispute, we must consult the reputed authors.
+
+In the year 1691, as an advertisement to _King Arthur_, a dramatic opera,
+Dryden printed a catalogue of his "plays and poems in quarto," in order to
+prevent future mis-ascriptions. The catalogue comprises ten poems, but no
+_Essay on satire_. The publisher of _King Arthur_ was Mr. Jacob Tonson.
+
+In 1682, the earl of Mulgrave published, anonymously, through the agency of
+Mr. Joseph Hindmarsh, an _Essay upon poetry_. It contains these lines:--
+
+ "The laureat here may justly claim our praise,
+  Crown'd by _Mac-Fleckno_ with immortal bays;
+  Though prais'd and punish'd for another's rimes,
+  His own deserve that glorious fate sometimes,
+  Were he not forc'd to carry now dead weight,
+  Rid by some lumpish minister of state."
+
+In 1717, Mr. Tonson published _Poems by the earl of Roscommon_; and added
+thereto the _Essay on poetry_, "with the leave and with the corrections of
+the author." The lines shall now be given in their amended state, as they
+appear in that volume, with the accompanying notes:--
+
+ "The _Laureat_[2] here may justly claim our praise,
+  Crown'd by _Mack-Fleckno_[3] with immortal bays;
+  Tho' _prais'd_ and _punish'd_ once for other's[4] rhimes,
+  His own deserve as great applause sometimes;
+  Yet _Pegasus_[5], of late, has born _dead weight_,
+  Rid by some _lumpish_ ministers of state."
+
+Next to Dryden and the earl of Mulgrave, as authorities on this question,
+comes the elder Jacob Tonson. Both writers were contributors to his
+_Poetical miscellanies_. In 1701 he published _Poems on various occasions,
+etc. By Mr. John Dryden_. The volume has not the _Essay on satire_. The
+same {163} Tonson, as we have just seen, gave currency to the assertion
+that Dryden was "ignorant of the whole matter."
+
+To this display of contemporary evidence must be added the information
+derivable from the posthumous publications enumerated in the former part of
+this article. The publication of 1723 was made by direction of the duchess
+of Buckingham. The couplet, "Tho' prais'd," &c., and the appended note,
+were omitted. In 1726 Mr. alderman Barber republished the volumes "with
+several additions, and without any castrations," restoring the couplet and
+note as they were printed in 1717. In the _Original poems_ of Dryden, as
+collectively published in 1743, the joint authorship is stated without a
+word of evidence in support of it.
+
+If we turn to the earlier writers on Dryden, we meet with no facts in
+favour of his claim to the poem in question. Anthony à Wood says, "the earl
+of Mulgrave was generally thought to be the author." This was written about
+1694. The reverend Thomas Birch, a man of vast information, repeated this
+statement in 1736. Neither Congreve nor Giles Jacob allude to the poem.
+
+The witnesses on the other side are, 1. The publisher of the _State poems_.
+2. Dean Lockier. And 3. The reverend Thomas Broughton.
+
+The _State poems_, in which the essay is ascribed to Dryden, may be called
+a surreptitious publication: it carries no authority. The testimony of
+Lockier, which is to the same effect, was never published by himself. It
+was a scrap of conversation held thirty years after the death of Dryden,
+and reported by another from memory. The reverend Thomas Broughton, who
+asserts the joint authorship of the poems, cites as his authority the
+_Original poems_, &c. Now Kippis assures us that he edited those volumes.
+On the question at issue, he could discover no authority but himself!
+
+Dryden _may_ have revised the _Essay on satire_. Is that a sufficient
+reason for incorporating it with his works? Do we tack to the works of Pope
+the poems of Wycherly and Parnell? We have authority for stating that Pope
+revised the _Essay on poetry_. Is it to be added to the works of Pope? Be
+it as it may, the poem was published, in substance, six years before Pope
+was born!
+
+As the evidence is very brief, there can be no necessity for
+recapitulation; and I shall only add, that if about to edit the poetical
+works of Dryden, I should reject the _Essay on satire_.

+MACKLIN'S ORDINARY AND SCHOOL OF CRITICISM.
+
+Mr. George Wingrove Cooke, in his valuable work, _The History of Party_
+(vol. iii, p. 66.), gives an admirable sketch of the life of Edmund Burke.
+Speaking of his early career, and of the various designs which he formed
+for his future course, we are told that "at _Macklin's Debating Society_ he
+made the first essay of his powers of oratory."
+
+Mr. Cunningham, in his _Handbook for London_, speaks of Macklin delivering
+Lectures on Elocution at Pewterer's Hall (p. 394.), and of his residence in
+Tavistock Row, Covent Garden (p. 484.); but he does not mention _Macklin's
+Debating Society_. I imagine that by this "Debating Society" is meant an
+_Ordinary and School of Criticism_, which that eminent actor established in
+the year 1754, in the Piazza, Covent Garden. Mr. W. Cooke, in his _Life of
+Macklin_, 1806, p. 199., says--
+
+    "What induced him [Macklin] to quit the stage in the full vigour of
+    fame and constitution, was one of those schemes which he had long
+    previously indulged himself in, of suddenly making his fortune by the
+    establishment of a tavern and coffee-house in the Piazza, Covent
+    Garden; to which he afterwards added a school of oratory, upon a plan
+    hitherto unknown in England, founded upon the Greek, Roman, French, and
+    Italian Societies, under the title of _The British Inquisition_."
+
+The first part of this plan (the public ordinary) was opened on the 11th of
+March, 1754; and an amusing account of its operations may be found in
+Angelo's _Pic Nic_, p. 32. The second part of "Macklin's mad plan," as it
+was then termed, "The British Inquisition," commenced proceedings on the
+21st of November in the same year; and here, according to the first
+advertisement, "such subjects in Arts, Sciences, Literature, Criticism,
+Philosophy, History, Politics, and Morality, as shall be found useful and
+entertaining to society, will be lectured upon and freely debated."

+"LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST (Act II. Scene 1.).
+
+    "It is odd that Shakspeare should make Dumain inquire after Rosaline,
+    who was the mistress of Biron, and neglect Katharine, who was his own.
+    Biron behaves in the same manner.--Perhaps _all_ the ladies wore
+    masks.--STEEVENS.
+
+    "They certainly did."--MALONE.
+
+    "And what if they did?"--QUERY.
+
+In what possible way can the circumstance of the ladies _wearing masks_
+lessen the inconsistency pointed out by Steevens?
+
+Rosaline has been immediately singled out by her former admirer--
+
+    "Did I not dance with you in Brabant once?"
+
+--a circumstance quite inconsistent with uncertain identity afterwards.
+
+But if the gentlemen really did mistake the identity of their ladies,
+Boyet's answers must have misled them into a similar mistake in _their
+names_: so that the natural consequence would have been, that each lover
+would afterwards address his {164} poetical effusion _nominally_ to the
+wrong lady! which does not appear to have been the case.
+
+Therefore, even if the masking be admitted, it can in no way lessen the
+inconsistency of the cross questions, which to me appears to have arisen
+from a most palpable instance of clerical or typographical transposition.
+
+Steevens was on the right scent, although he rejected it in the same
+breath, when he said,--
+
+    "No advantage would be gained by _an exchange of names_, because the
+    last speech is determined to Biron by Maria, who gives a character of
+    him after he has made his exit."
+
+This is a good reason against a transposition in the _male_ names, but it
+is none whatever against the same occurrence in the ladies' names; and
+consequently it is there that the true solution of the difficulty must be
+sought.
+
+If we admit that a substitution may have occurred, of "Rosaline" for
+"Katharine," in Boyet's answer to Dumain, and _vice versâ_ in his answer to
+Biron, all difficulty disappears at once.
+
+The completeness with which the idea of transposition not only accounts for
+the existence of the error, but at the same time suggests the manner in
+which it may be corrected, ought of itself to secure its reception, even if
+it were not corroborated in a very singular way by the following collateral
+circumstance.
+
+It may be observed that Boyet points out two of the ladies, not only by
+name, but also by styling them "heirs;" one of Falconbridge, the other of
+Alençon. Now in their previous descriptions of their respective lovers, one
+of the ladies (Maria) says she had met Longaville at a marriage of a
+"Falconbridge;" another lady (Katharine) says she had met Dumain at "Duke
+Alençon's." When, therefore, we find that Boyet, in reply to Longaville's
+question, designates _Maria_ as "heir of Falconbridge," it is in direct
+analogy that he should, in answer to Dumain's question, designate
+_Katharine_ as "heir of Alençon;" but, in consequence of the transposition
+of names, Boyet appears, as the text now stands, to confer that
+designation, not upon Katharine, but upon Rosaline, whom Biron had met at
+Brabant!
+
+There can be no doubt, therefore, that the names of Katharine and Rosaline
+have been transposed _contrary to the author's intention_, and the only
+wonder is--not that such a very commonplace error should have been
+committed--but that it should have been suffered to remain through so many
+editions up to the present time.

+NOTES ON NEWSPAPERS.
+
+I send you the following, as a help to "Materials for a satisfactory
+History of Newspapers," alluded to in the last volume of "NOTES AND
+QUERIES," p. 375.
+
+I have in my possession some old newspapers, ranging from 1691 to 1694,
+entitled _A Collection for Improvement of Husbandry and Trade_, edited by
+John Houghton, F.R.S., St. Bartholomew Lane, behind the Royal Exchange,
+London. The size is a small folio, published weekly, generally every
+Friday. It was carried on for some time merely as a single leaf, with no
+advertisements. In this form, the editor says--
+
+    "These papers are 2d. each here, and anybody may have them by the post.
+    But where that is thought too much, it may be eased by ten or twelve
+    obliging themselves constantly to take them from a bookseller,
+    coffee-man, or some other, who may afford to pay a carrier, and sell
+    them there for 2d., or at most 3d.; or carriers themselves may gain
+    well, if they'll serve the country gentlemen. And any such bookseller,
+    coffee-man, or carrier, that will apply themselves to me, shall have
+    good encouragement, with liberty to return those that won't sell."
+
+Ultimately the editor determined on admitting advertisements. He then
+doubled the size of his paper, making it two leaves instead of one. In
+reference to this increased size he says,--
+
+    "My collection I shall carry on as usual. This part is to give away;
+    and those who like it not, may omit the reading. I believe it will help
+    on trade, particularly encourage the advertisers to increase the vent
+    of my papers. I shall receive all sorts of advertisements, but shall
+    answer for the reasonableness of none; unless I give thereof a
+    particular character, on which (as I shall give it) may be dependence,
+    but no argument that others deserve not as well."
+
+    "I am inform'd that great numbers of gazettes are each time printed,
+    which makes them the most universal intelligencers; but I'll suppose
+    mine their first handmaid, because it goes (tho' not so thick, yet) to
+    most parts. It's also lasting, to be put into volumes with indexes; and
+    particularly there shall be an index of all the advertisements,
+    whereby, for ages to come, they may be useful. I have publish'd on the
+    subject of Husbandry and Trade, two quarto volumes, three folio
+    volumes, with the great sheet of taxes, acres, houses, &c.; and am
+    weekly carrying on this paper, which may be brought to anybodies house
+    within the Bills of Mortality, or penny post, for one penny the week;
+    and anywhere else in England (where enough will encourage a bookseller
+    or carrier). The volumes may be had from most booksellers of England,
+    Scotland, or Ireland."
+
+The Collection, which the editor will carry on as usual, refers to the
+single sheet. The Gazette must have been the London Gazette. In what sort
+of way the editor could suppose that advertisements could be useful for
+ages to come, we, in this age of enlightenment and knowledge, are at a loss
+to conceive. The great sheet of taxes, acres, houses, &c., I have, and may
+give you an account of its contents at some future time. The first page
+{165} of the paper was always devoted to a letter from the editor's own pen
+on husbandry, trade, chemistry, domestic cookery, and a variety of other
+topics. The editor appears to have been a spirited man, who collected with
+great care and diligence a great variety of facts whereby to interest his
+readers. The advertisements are very curious, specimens of which I will

+MR. GOUGH'S TRANSLATION OF THE HISTORY OF THE BIBLE.
+
+The original work is thus described by Brunet, in his _Manuel_, Paris,
+1842, vol. ii. p. 583.:
+
+    "Histoire du Vieux et du Nouveau Testament (par Dav. Martin), enrichie
+    de plus de 400 fig. Anvers (Antwerp), P. Mortier, 1700, 2 vol. gr. in
+    fol."
+
+This work is usually called _Bible de Mortier_. It is not a difficult book
+to be met with, but the price varies considerably according to the state of
+the plates.

+_Mr. Gough's Translation of the History of the Bible_ (Vol. iii., p.
+100.).--A friend has furnished me with the following extract from the
+_Manuel du Libraire_ of M. J. C. Brunet in reply to my inquiry who was the
+author of the original history. It is taken from tom. i. p. 544.
+
+    "Histoire du V. et du N. Testament (par Dav. Martin), enrichie de plus
+    de 400 fig. Anvers (Antwerp.), P. Mortier, 1700, 2 vol. gr. in fol."
+
+M. Brunet informs us that copies of these volumes are valued by the state
+of the plates; one of which, in the Apocalypse, having been broken, was
+mended with nails, which marked the impression, and gave the distinction of
+copies before or with the nails.
+
+As there can be no doubt but that most booksellers take in your useful
+publication, one of them may be induced to inform the undersigned if he has
+a copy for sale, and the price.

+Minor Notes.
+
+_Origin of Harlequins._--In a note to his translation of Priscus' "History
+of the Embassy sent to Attila by Theodosius the Younger" (_Hist. Civiliz._
+app. iii. vol. ii. p. 430., Bogue's edit. European Library), M. Guizot
+remarks, alluding to the appearance of Zercho, a Moor, at Attila's feast:
+
+    "Is it not singular to find an harlequin at the court of Attila? Yet
+    such is the origin of these buffoons. The colour of the black slaves,
+    the strangeness of their face and manners, caused them to be sought
+    after as excellent ministers of mirth; to complete the singularity,
+    Zercho asks his wife at the hands of Attila, closely paralleling
+    Harlequin demanding Columbine."
+
+Is this account of the origin of Harlequins generally acquiesced in? I
+should be obliged by any early notice of the character of Harlequin, and
+his introduction on the English or any foreign stage.
+
+E. L. N.
+
+_Monosyllables_.--Among the many correspondents who have sent you specimens
+of monosyllabic poetry, I have seen no one who has quoted this very
+singular passage from Phineas Fletcher's _Purple Island_. It is _far more
+striking_ than anything you have yet inserted on this subject.
+
+              Canto I. Stanza 7.
+ "New light new love, new love new life hath bred;
+      A life that lives by love, and loves by light;
+    A love to Him to whom all loves are wed;
+      A light to whom the sun is darkest night:
+    Eye's light, heart's love, soul's only life He is;
+    Life, soul, love, heart, light, eye, and all are His;
+  He eye, light, heart, love, soul; He all my joy and bliss."
+
+In seventy words only _one_ of more than a syllable; the alliteration in
+the second line is likewise noticeable.

+
+_The Breeches, or Geneva Bible_ (Vol. iii, p. 17.).--I have before me a
+copy of Christopher Barkar's edition of the "Breeches" Bible, 1576, small
+folio, in which, on the fly-leaf, is the following interesting note in the
+handwriting of the late Francis Douce:--
+
+    "It is generally conceived that the peculiarity, 'and they sewed fig
+    tree leaves together, and made themselves breeches,' belongs
+    exclusively to this Bible, but it is a mistake. The Saxon version of
+    Ælfric has, {166} '_and sewed fig-leaves, and worked them_ WEED-BREECH,
+    _or cloaths for the breech._' Wicliffe also translates 'and maden hem
+    _breechis_;' and it is singular that Littleton, in his excellent
+    _Dictionary_, explains _perizomata_, the word used in the Vulgate, by
+    _breeches_. In the manuscript French translation of Petrus Comestor's
+    _Commentary on the Bible_, made by Guiars des Moulins in the 13th
+    century, we have 'Couvertures tout autres-sint comme unnes petites
+    _braies_.'"
+
+EDWARD F. RIMBAULT.
+
+_Etymology of Mushroom._--In the sixteenth century this word appears
+generally to have been spelt _Mushrump_. Nares, in his valuable _Glossary_,
+gives an instance from Marlow's play of _Edward the Second_, 1598; but
+there is an earlier example in Robert Southwell's _Spirituall Poems_, 1595:
+
+ "He that high growth on cedars did bestow,
+  Gave also lowly _mushrumps_ leave to growe."
+
+It is also spelt _Mushrump_ in Cockeram's _Dictionary_, 1632. These
+instances may possibly lead to a correct etymology of the word.

+EDWARD F. RIMBAULT.
+
+_Curious Fact in Natural History._--There is in the Brazils a popular
+superstition to this effect. There is a tree called Japécarga, which is
+said to grow out of the body of the insect called Cigara. This is a very
+large tree, and the Cigara is an insect which makes an incessant chirping
+on the tree, and, as the saying goes, chirps till it bursts. When the
+insect dies, the tree is said to grow out of it, the roots growing down the
+legs. My explanation is this: The insect feeds on the seeds of the
+Japécarga, and occasionally, under advantageous circumstances, some of the
+seeds germinate, and cause the death of the insect, the tree shooting up
+through the softest part, the back, and the rootlets making their way down
+the only outlets, the legs. I wish to know whether any similar fact in
+Natural History has been noticed, and if not, how is it accounted for,
+since I can vouch for the skin of the insect having been found with the
+tree growing out of its back, and the roots growing down through the legs.

+
+_The Great Exhibition._--It is well known that the vineyards of Switzerland
+have been long protected from hail by means of upright poles having copper
+wire attached to them, termed "paragrêles," distant from each other from 60
+to 100 feet. The formation of hail is an effect of which electricity is the
+cause, and the cloud being deprived of this agent by the conductors,
+descends in the shape of rain. Mr. John Murray, F.S.A., F.L.S., &c., in his
+work on Switzerland, speaks very decidedly of their utility. Has then this
+ingenious contrivance been considered with reference to the protection of
+the Great Exhibition and its valuable, or rather invaluable, contents? or
+why is it deemed inapplicable to the purpose?

+
+THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
+
+Everybody can see that the first commandment is directed against
+polytheism, and the second against idolatry; and most people know that the
+Church of Rome differs from the Church of England in joining these two into
+one commandment, and dividing the tenth into two commandments, so as to
+make up the full number, ten. This point of difference betwixt the two
+churches must necessarily have been the subject of much dispute. There must
+be plausible reasons on both sides for every commandment in the Anglican
+ritual being different from its correspondent on the Roman tables: and the
+settlement of this question must properly belong to the theologian, since
+holy scripture only mentions how many divine commandments there are
+(Exodus, xxxiv. 28.; Deuteronomy, iv. 13., x. 4.), without authoritatively
+separating them.
+
+Will any one kindly inform me where this question may be found fully
+discussed; and where mention is made of the earliest known divisions of the
+law? Also, I should be glad to know how the Jews at the present day divide
+the commandments; and whether there is any record or tradition of there
+ever having been discussions in their church upon this very interesting and
+no less important matter?

+_Derivation of the Word Fib._--Can any of your readers suggest a proper

+children;" while, at the same time, he inserts it on the authority of Pope
+and Arbuthnot.
+
+In reading the works of that very learned and instructive author, Samuel
+Werenfels, I was struck with a passage in his _Diatribe de Meteoris_, p.
+272. (Amstel. Wetstein, 1702), which seemed to furnish a probable solution
+of the question:--"Propter abusum nominis Phoebi evenit, ut omnes qui,
+altius in oratione, quam decet, se extollere volunt, Gallis hodiernis
+[Greek: phoibologein] Phoebum loqui, _Parler_ _Phebus_, dicantur." So far
+as the sound is concerned, this seems a nearer approximation to "fib" than
+the word "fable." The sense, too, is not _very_ remote from the accepted
+one of "_talking fibs_." Query, as to this conjecture?

+_Thomas May, the Author of the Supplement to Lucan._--Who was this Thomas
+May? To an Elzevir edition of Lucan, 1658, Amsterdam, "accuranto Cornelio
+Schrevelio," there is added "Supplementum Lucani Libri Septem; authore
+Thoma Maio, Anglo." In the preface it is stated, "Supplementum Lucani ab
+Anglo quodam antehâc seorsim editum, et huic materiæ aptissimum adjunximus,
+ne quid esset quod hic desideraretur." In the fourth book of this
+_Supplement_, Cato is represented as soliloquising before his death as
+follows:--
+
+ "Quam diversa, inquit, restant post funera sortes!
+  Credo equidem, divine Plato, te dogmata vera
+  Hæc ipsum docuisse Deum. Deus ipse sequendam
+  (Aut Natura homines ratioque innata fefellit)
+  Proposuit virtutem, et præmia debita justis
+  Hæc quonian justos injusta potentia fraudat
+  Sæpius in terris, et gens humana rebellat
+  Solvere post mortem justissimus ipse tenetur."
+
+The famous soliloquy in Addison's _Cato_ seems to resemble this, in its
+general tone of thought. In a former passage occur these lines:--
+
+             "Solatia sola hæc,
+  Quod meliore frui post mortem lumine sperat.
+  Immortalem animam spes hæc probat."
+
+The idea is similar to that contained in--
+
+ "Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire,
+  This longing after immortality?"
+
+Addison seems to me to have had May's description of Cato's death in his
+mind, when he wrote the soliloquy.

+CARDINAL'S MONUMENT.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 106.)
+
+Your correspondent and querist, J. D. A., asks for some information
+respecting the coat of arms surmounted by a cardinal's hat, sculptured and
+affixed to one of the pillars of the south transept in St. Saviour's
+Church, Southwark. I send in reply an extract from a now scarce book,
+Arthur Tiler's _History and Antiquities of St. Saviour's_, 1765, with which
+all the later historians of the church agree:--
+
+    "Anno 1400.   2 Hen. IV.
+
+    "The whole church was new built about this time; Henry Beaufort (second
+    son of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, son of Edward III.), Cardinal
+    of St. Eusebius, and Bishop of Winchester from the year 1405 to the
+    time of his death in 1447, might have contributed towards the building,
+    being a man of great wealth, for which he was called the rich Cardinal,
+    _as the arms of the Beauforts are carved in stone on a pillar in the
+    south cross aisle; and by the remaining sculpture on each side it
+    appears to be done for strings pendant from a Cardinal's hat placed
+    over them_. The arms are quarterly France and England, a border compone
+    argent and azure."
+
+When the transepts were rebuilt, some years since, the cardinal's hat,
+which till that time was nearly defaced, was then restored, and the coat of
+arms newly emblazoned.
+
+W. B.
+
+  19. Winchester Place, St. Saviour's, Southwark.
+
+    [G. A. S. and JAMES H. SMITH have forwarded similar replies.]
+
+With reference to the Query of J. D. A. (p. 106. antè), it would appear
+that the cardinal's hat, but with a difference in the number of rows of
+tassels, is sometimes seen on the monuments of men who never were raised to
+that dignity.
+
+In the Cathedral of St. Canice, Kilkenny, are two monuments placed there

+of Ossery, who died some years after--on both of which the arms of the
+individual are surmounted by a cardinal's hat. It is quite certain that
+neither of these ecclesiastics had a right to this distinction _as

+The Cardinal's hat, with arms beneath, on a pillar near the poet Gower's
+monument, in St. Saviour's, Southwark, refers directly to the beneficence
+of that busy cardinal and very remarkable man, {170} Cardinal Beaufort,
+Bishop of Winchester, and who in that capacity resided in the adjoining
+palace; indirectly it refers to the marriage of James V. of Scotland with
+Jane Beaufort, the Cardinal's niece: and it is something to the honour of
+St. Mary Overies, (the church in question,) to add that it was within its
+walls that the ceremony took place. Besides Gower, the parish registers
+state that Edmond Shakspeare ob. 1607 (one of the brothers of the great
+dramatist), John Fletcher ob. 1625, and Philip Massinger ob. 1640. (See Mr.
+Knight's _Old England_, eng. 548. p. 147.)

+
+A cardinal's hat is differenced by colour and the number of its tassels,
+not by its shape, which is the same for all clergymen. Thus, for simple
+priests, a black hat, with one tassel on either side; for a bishop, a green
+hat with three tassels; for a cardinal, a crimson hat with five or seven
+tassels. What the reason may be for the variation in the number of the
+tassels amongst cardinals, I should be glad to learn.

+what is intended), are those of Cardinal Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester,
+and Cardinal Hallum, Bishop of Salisbury. I can find no mention anywhere of

+was descended from, and why he had those arms assigned to him by Ciaconius,
+who is tolerably correct.

+BOOTY'S CASE.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 40.)
+
+I cannot refer DEMONOLOGIST to an _authentic_ report of Booty's case, but I
+believe none is more so, than that in Kirby's _Wonderful and Eccentric
+Museum_, vol. ii. p. 247.
+
+The following extract is given from the journal of Mr. Spinks:--
+
+    "Friday, 15th May, 1687. We had the observation of Mr. Booty this day.
+    Captain Barrisby, Captain Bristowe, Captain Brown, I, and Mr. Ball,
+    merchant, went on shore in Captain Barnaby's boat, to shoot rabbits
+    upon Stromboli; and when we had done we called all our men together by
+    us, and about half an hour and fourteen minutes after three in the
+    afternoon, to our great surprise, we all of us saw two men come running
+    towards us with such swiftness that no living man could run half so
+    fast as they did run, when all of us heard Captain Barnaby say, 'Lord
+    bless me, the foremost is old Booty, my next-door neighbour;' but he
+    said he did not know the other that run behind: he was in black
+    clothes, and the foremost was in grey. Then Captain Barnaby desired all
+    of us to take an account of the time, and put it down in our
+    pocket-books, and when we got on board we wrote it in our journals; for
+    we saw them into the flames of fire, and there was a great noise which
+    greatly affrighted us all; for we none of us ever saw or heard the like
+    before. Captain Barnaby said he was certain it was old Booty, which he
+    saw running over Stromboli and into the flames of Hell. It is stated
+    that Captain Barnaby told his wife, and she told somebody else, and
+    that it was afterward told to Mrs. Booty, who arrested Captain Barnaby
+    in a thousand pound action, for what he had said of her husband.
+    Captain Barnaby gave bail to it, and it came on to a trial in the Court
+    of King's Bench, and they had Mr. Booty's wearing apparel brought into
+    court, and the sexton of the parish, and the people that were with him
+    when he died; and we swore to our journals, and it came to the same
+    time within two minutes; ten of our men swore to the buttons on his
+    coat, and that they were covered with the same sort of cloth his coat
+    was made of, and so it proved. The jury asked Mr. Spinks if he knew Mr.
+    Booty. He answered, 'I never saw him till he ran by me on the burning
+    mountain.'"
+
+The chief justice from April, 1687, to February, 1689, was Sir Robert
+Wright. His name is not given in the report, but _the judge_ said--
+
+    "Lord have mercy upon me, and grant that I may never see what you have
+    seen: one, two, or three may be mistaken, but thirty never can be
+    mistaken. So the widow lost her suit."
+
+An action for slander of a deceased husband, brought by the widow, and the
+defendant held to bail, is a remarkable beginning. The plea of
+justification, that Booty ran into Hell, is hardly supported by evidence
+that he ran into the flames at Stromboli. The evidence was, that the
+defendant _said_ that one of the two runners was Booty; it does not appear
+that the other witnesses knew him. The witnesses must have kept a good look
+to observe the buttons of Booty's coat when he ran more than twice as fast
+as any living man could run. Finally, as the time of the death and the
+observation "came to the same within two minutes," and Stromboli is about
+15° east of Gravesend, Booty must have run to Hell before he died.
+
+I have no doubt that "the case is well known in the navy." The facts are of
+the sort usually reported to the marines; but the law such as was unknown
+before 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95.

+THE CONQUEST.
+
+(Vol. ii., p. 440.; Vol. iii., p. 92.)
+
+I question the position of S. K., that the phrase "post conquestum" is used
+in the deed he cites (Vol. ii., p. 92.) for the accession of the king.
+"Post conquestum" was, in records and deeds, applied with more or less
+frequency to all our kings, from Edward III. to Henry VIII. To show this I
+give the following references to the pages of Madox's _Formulare
+Anglicanum_:-- {171}

+
+I believe "post conquestum" was also applied to Edward V.; but the records
+and deeds of his short reign are necessarily but few.
+
+I conjecture that the use of the term "post conquestum" thus originated.
+
+As we had Kings of England of the name of Edward before the Conquest,
+Edward the First was distinguished from these monarchs by being styled
+"King Edward, the son of King Henry" (his father was called "King Henry,
+the son of King John"). In like manner, Edward II. was distinguished from
+his father by being called "King Edward, the son of King Edward;" but
+Edward III. could not thus be distinguished from his father; he was
+therefore called King Edward III.; but, as there were Kings Edward _before_
+the Conquest, the third was qualified by the addition of the phrase in
+question, "post conquestum." To Richard II. generally, and to his
+successors up to Henry VIII. either generally or occasionally, the same
+phrase, "post conquestum," was also applied; but, if we except Edward IV.
+and V., this phrase was not at all required, or applicable in their cases,
+inasmuch as no King of England _before_ the Conquest was named either
+Richard or Henry.

+DESCENT OF HENRY IV.
+
+(Vol. ii., p. 375.; Vol. iii., p. 120.)
+
+Upon the deposition of Richard II., 30th September, 1399, Henry IV., then
+Duke of Lancaster, claimed the crown in the following terms:
+
+    "In the name of the Fader, Sonne, and Holy Ghost, I, Henry of
+    Lancastre, chalenge this Rewme of Ynglonde and the Croune, with all the
+    Membres and the appurtenances, als I that am descendit be ryght lyne of
+    the Blode comyng fro the gude Lord King Henry thirde, and thorghe that
+    ryght that God of his grace hath sent me with helpe of my kyn and of my
+    friendes to recover it: the which Rewme was in poynt to be ondone for
+    defaut of Governance, and undoying of the gude Lawes."
+
+Rapin observes upon this (vol. i. p. 476.):--
+
+    "It was not without reason that he affected to make use of obscure
+    expressions, which left undetermined the foundation upon which he built
+    his pretended right. If he seemed to derive his title from Henry III.
+    rather than from Edward III., his grandfather, it was because there was
+    a rumour that Edmund, Earl of Lancaster, surnamed Crouch-back, was
+    eldest son of Henry III.; but by reason of his deformity Edward I., his
+    younger brother, was placed on the throne. According to this
+    supposition, the Duke would have made the ignorant believe he could
+    ground his title upon being son of Blanch of Lancaster, granddaughter
+    of Edmund Crouch-back, and heiress of that family. But as he was
+    sensible everybody could not be imposed upon by so gross a forgery, he
+    added certain expressions, intimating that he built his right also upon
+    the service he had just done the state. This is the meaning of the
+    claim, expressed in such obscure terms. As it was resolved to adjudge
+    the crown to the Duke, the Parliament took care not to examine his
+    claim too closely, but were very willing to suppose it uncontestable.
+    Thus, without any regard to the just rights of the Earl of March, it
+    was decreed that Henry should be proclaimed king, which was done that
+    very day," &c.
+
+It would seem, however, that Henry was to a certain extent compelled to
+make his claim to the crown in the form he did (Hales, _Hist. C. L._ c.
+5.), notwithstanding his desire to do so as a conqueror. (Seld. _Tit. Hon._
+l. 3.)

+
+_Chauncy--Entwysel._--To a dry genealogical Query (Vol. iii., p. 61.), your
+readers will wish me to reply as briefly as possible. F. R. R. will find
+that Sir H. Chauncy's statement is borrowed from Weever. The latter founded
+his statement, that "Wilfred Entwysel was the last heir of his house," on
+the authority of Dalton, Norroy; but this statement, as your correspondent
+has shown, and as other evidence would prove, is not well-founded. It may
+be assumed that Sir Bertyne Entwysel did not leave issue, _male_, by Lucy
+his wife, the daughter of Sir John Ashton, of Ashton-under-Lyne, as Leland
+speaks of a daughter only, "of whom Master Bradene, of Northamptonshire, is
+descended." His connexion with Lancashire is shown by his epitaph, and by
+our finding his name as a witness to a Lancashire charter. The alliance
+which he formed may be urged as a further proof. Leland's expression, that
+"he came into England," may imply that Sir Bertyne remained in France
+discharging the duties of his office, from the period of the Battle of
+Agincourt, where he {172} signally distinguished himself, until his
+services were again called for in the Wars of the Roses.

+have been intended by the expressions of Josephus, [Greek: ex henos genous
+kai ek tês pros Abramon oikeiotêtos] (book xii. c. iv.); but the Versions,
+and most critics, interpret the words in the 12th chap. of 1 Maccabees,
+[Greek: ek genous Abraam], as implying that they came from Abraham: see

+_Queen Mary's Lament_ (Vol. iii., p. 89.).--The following copy of verses,
+written by this beautiful and unfortunate princess, during her confinement
+in Fotheringay Castle, was presented to the public by the kindness of a
+very eminent and liberal collector:--
+
+ "Que suis-je helas? et de quoi sert la vie?
+  J'en suis fors qu'un corps privé de cueur;
+  Un ombre vayn, un objet de malheur,
+  Qui n'a plus rien que de mourir en vie.
+  Plus ne me portez, O enemys, d'envie,
+  Qui n'a plus l'esprit à la grandeur,
+  J'ai consommé d'excessive douleur,
+  Voltre ire en bref de voir assouvie.
+  Et vous amys qui m'avez tenu chere,
+  Souvenez-vous que sans cueur, et sans santey,
+  Je ne scaurois auqun bon oeuvre faire.
+  Souhaitez donc fin de calamitey,
+  Et que _sus bas_ étant assez punie,
+  J'aie ma part en la joie infinie."
+
+The verses are written on a sheet of paper, by Mary herself, in a large
+rambling hand. The following literal translation of them was made by a
+countrywoman of Mary's, a lady in beauty of person and elegance of mind by
+no means inferior to that accomplished and unfortunate princess:
+
+ "Alas, what am I? and in what estate?
+    A wretched corse bereaved of its heart,
+  An empty shadow, lost, unfortunate:
+    To die is now in life my only part.
+  Foes to my greatness, let your envy rest,
+    In me no taste for grandeur now is found;
+  Consum'd by grief, with heavy ills oppress'd,
+    Your wishes and desires will soon be crown'd.
+  And you, my friends, who still have held me dear,
+    Bethink you, that when health and heart are fled,
+    And ev'ry hope of future good is dead,
+ 'Tis time to wish our sorrows ended here;
+  And that this punishment on earth is given,
+  That my pure soul may rise to endless bliss in heaven."
+
+Immediately before her execution she repeated the following Latin prayer,
+composed by herself, {173} and which has been set to a beautiful plaintive
+air, by Dr. Harington of Bath:
+
+ "O Domine Deus speravi in te!
+  O care mi Jesu, nunc libera me!
+  In durâ catenâ, in miserâ poenâ desidero te!
+  Languendo, gemendo, et genuflectendo,
+  Adoro, imploro, ut liberes me!"
+
+It may be thus paraphrased:
+
+ "In this last solemn and tremendous hour,
+  My Lord, my Saviour, I invoke Thy power!
+  In these sad pangs of anguish and of death,
+  Receive, O Lord, Thy suppliant's parting breath!
+  Before Thy hallowed cross she prostrate lies,
+  O hear her prayers, commiserate her sighs!
+  Extend thy arms of mercy and of love,
+  And bear her to thy peaceful realms above."

+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 http://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
+http://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

+     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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is 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:
+
+     http://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.

+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"<i>Twenty scholars in seven years might retrieve the worst losses we
+  experience from the bigotry of popes and califs.</i> I do not intend to
+  assert that every Herculanean manuscript might, within that period, be
+  unfolded; but the three first legible sentences might be; which is quite
+  sufficient to inform the intelligent reader whether a farther attempt on
+  the scroll would repay his trouble. <i>There are fewer than thirty Greek
+  authors worth inquiring for; they exist, beyond doubt, and beyond doubt
+  they may, by attention, patience, and skill, be brought to light.</i> * *
+  With a <i>smaller</i> sum than is annually expended on the appointment of
+  some silly and impertinent young envoy, we might restore <i>all</i>, or
+  <i>nearly all</i> those writers of immortal name, whose disappearance has
+  been the regret of genius for four entire centuries. In my opinion, a
+  <i>few thousand pounds</i>, laid out on such an undertaking, would be
+  laid out as creditably as on a Persian carpet or a Turkish
+  tent."&mdash;Landor's <i>Imaginary Conversations&mdash;Southey and
+  Porson&mdash;Works</i>, vol. i. p. 20.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>I call upon the literary men of England, upon the English government,
+  and upon the public, to set the example in a glorious expedition, which,
+  even in this age of wonders, is one of no little importance and
+  magnitude. I conjure them to bear in mind the words I have placed at the
+  head of this article,&mdash;the opinion of one of our best and most
+  delightful authors. This opinion Mr. Landor, veiled under the eidolon of
+  Porson, I feel assured, does not hold alone; I believe it to be engraven
+  on the "red-leaved tablets" of the hearts of many more learned and more
+  distinguished scholars than myself, who am but as the trumpet which is to
+  rouse the friends of classical literature to action; as the bell which
+  awakens the reaper to his abundant harvest: but I will sustain, that on
+  none of them is it cut more deeply or more inextinguishably than on
+  mine.</p>
+
+  <p>I propose that the friends of Classical, Scandinavian, and Oriental
+  literature form themselves into an Association for the Rescue of the many
+  ancient MSS. in the Greek, Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Norwegian, Zend, Sanscrit,
+  Hebrew, Abyssinian, Ethiopian, Hindostanee, Persian, Syriac, Arabic,
+  Armenian, Coptic, Turkish, and Chinese languages:&mdash;that application
+  be made to government for the pecuniary furtherance of this
+  enterprise;&mdash;and that the active co-operation of all foreign
+  literary men be secured.<a name="footnotetag1"
+  href="#footnote1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></p>
+
+  <p>Thus a careful and untiring search may be entered upon in all the
+  regions of the earth where any MSS. are likely to be found, and the
+  recovery or loss of the many inestimable authors of antiquity be made
+  certain. Let the libraries of Europe be examined strictly and
+  inquisitorially (and this will not be a heavy expense), and the new
+  accessions to classical literature printed, the MSS. <!-- Page 162
+  --><span class="pagenum"><a name="page162"></a>{162}</span>which present
+  themselves of already known authors carefully examined, and the
+  variations to the received text marked. How much this is wanted we
+  experience in the corruptions of Sophocles, Æschylus, Thucydides, Plato,
+  and Aristoteles! In this way much that is valuable may be recovered; much
+  that is matter of discussion set at rest. Let me instance the Babrian
+  fables, and the discovery of Mr. Harris at Alexandria; who, it was
+  remarked to me, might have discovered the whole, instead of a part, had
+  proper hands unfolded the mummy.</p>
+
+  <p>On the advantages of this search, it were useless to expatiate: every
+  one is sensible of it, and, sooner or later, it <i>must</i> occur. Let us
+  not allow our grandchildren to surpass us in everything, but let us set
+  about this ourselves. Monstrous as the idea seems, it is simple of
+  execution.</p>
+
+  <p>I will not take up the space so kindly afforded me by the Editor of
+  "<span class="sc">Notes and Queries</span>" with speculation. The
+  Association should be composed of a Literary Section and a Business
+  Section: the first to be under the administration of a President and an
+  efficient Board of Examiners, to look into literary matters, and examine
+  and appoint the proper officers of the Investigation Parties; which
+  parties must be composed of clever, adventurous, hardy, and adroit men,
+  obtaining the assistance of the natives wherever they may be carrying on
+  their researches; the Second Section to be under the direction of a
+  Chairman and Finance Committee, to which the officers of the subordinate
+  departments render their accounts.</p>
+
+  <p>I know not whether more will be required of me on this subject; very
+  likely not: but I reserve much that I could say, until that time. I have
+  now only to thank the Editor for inserting this long, but I will not say,
+  wholly uninteresting proposal.</p>

+
+<h3>THE ESSAY ON SATIRE.</h3>
+
+  <p>Dryden, as sir Walter Scott observes, left a name in literature
+  "second only to those of Milton and Shakspere"; but, popular as his
+  writings were, he gave no collective edition of his poetical or dramatic
+  works. The current editions of his poems may therefore be open to
+  censure, both on the score of deficiency and redundancy&mdash;and such I
+  believe to be the fact.</p>
+
+  <p>An <i>Essay on satire</i>, itself a coarse satire, has been ascribed
+  to him for more than a century on dubious authority, and the correctness
+  of this ascription has been properly suggested as a question for
+  examination.</p>
+
+  <p>We have to decide on the credibility of two opposite statements, as
+  made in the publications about to be enumerated:&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>1. "The works of John Sheffield, earl of Mulgrave, marquis of
+  Normanby, and duke of Buckingham. <span class="sc">London</span>: printed
+  for John Barber, 1723. 4º. 2 vols."</p>
+
+  <p>2. "The works of John Sheffield, earl of Mulgrave, marquis of
+  Normanby, and duke of Buckingham. Printed for John Barber, alderman of
+  <span class="sc">London</span>, 1726. Small 8º. 2 vols."</p>
+
+  <p>3. "Original poems and translations, by John Dryden, Esq. <span
+  class="sc">London</span>: printed for J. and R. Tonson, 1743. 12º. 2
+  vols."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>In the two former publications, the poem appears as the entire
+  composition of the noble author, and is said to have been "written in the
+  year 1675." In the latter publication it appears without date, and is
+  said to be "by Mr. Dryden and the earl of Mulgrave."</p>
+
+  <p>The publications were posthumous, and as the editors afford no
+  explanation of the point in dispute, we must consult the reputed
+  authors.</p>
+
+  <p>In the year 1691, as an advertisement to <i>King Arthur</i>, a
+  dramatic opera, Dryden printed a catalogue of his "plays and poems in
+  quarto," in order to prevent future mis-ascriptions. The catalogue
+  comprises ten poems, but no <i>Essay on satire</i>. The publisher of
+  <i>King Arthur</i> was Mr. Jacob Tonson.</p>
+
+  <p>In 1682, the earl of Mulgrave published, anonymously, through the
+  agency of Mr. Joseph Hindmarsh, an <i>Essay upon poetry</i>. It contains
+  these lines:&mdash;</p>
+
+  <div class="poem">
+    <div class="stanza">
+      <p class="hg3">"The laureat here may justly claim our praise,</p>
+      <p>Crown'd by <i>Mac-Fleckno</i> with immortal bays;</p>
+      <p>Though prais'd and punish'd for another's rimes,</p>
+      <p>His own deserve that glorious fate sometimes,</p>
+      <p>Were he not forc'd to carry now dead weight,</p>
+      <p>Rid by some lumpish minister of state."</p>
+    </div>
+  </div>
+  <p>In 1717, Mr. Tonson published <i>Poems by the earl of Roscommon</i>;
+  and added thereto the <i>Essay on poetry</i>, "with the leave and with
+  the corrections of the author." The lines shall now be given in their
+  amended state, as they appear in that volume, with the accompanying
+  notes:&mdash;</p>
+
+  <div class="poem">
+    <div class="stanza">
+      <p class="hg3">"The <i>Laureat</i><a name="footnotetag2" href="#footnote2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> here may justly claim our praise,</p>
+      <p>Crown'd by <i>Mack-Fleckno</i><a name="footnotetag3" href="#footnote3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> with immortal bays;</p>
+      <p>Tho' <i>prais'd</i> and <i>punish'd</i> once for other's<a name="footnotetag4" href="#footnote4"><sup>[4]</sup></a> rhimes,</p>
+      <p>His own deserve as great applause sometimes;</p>
+      <p>Yet <i>Pegasus</i><a name="footnotetag5" href="#footnote5"><sup>[5]</sup></a>, of late, has born <i>dead weight</i>,</p>
+      <p>Rid by some <i>lumpish</i> ministers of state."</p>
+    </div>
+  </div>
+  <p>Next to Dryden and the earl of Mulgrave, as authorities on this
+  question, comes the elder Jacob Tonson. Both writers were contributors to
+  his <i>Poetical miscellanies</i>. In 1701 he published <i>Poems on
+  various occasions, etc. By Mr. John Dryden</i>. The volume has not the
+  <i>Essay on satire</i>. The same <!-- Page 163 --><span
+  class="pagenum"><a name="page163"></a>{163}</span>Tonson, as we have just
+  seen, gave currency to the assertion that Dryden was "ignorant of the
+  whole matter."</p>
+
+  <p>To this display of contemporary evidence must be added the information
+  derivable from the posthumous publications enumerated in the former part
+  of this article. The publication of 1723 was made by direction of the
+  duchess of Buckingham. The couplet, "Tho' prais'd," &amp;c., and the
+  appended note, were omitted. In 1726 Mr. alderman Barber republished the
+  volumes "with several additions, and without any castrations," restoring
+  the couplet and note as they were printed in 1717. In the <i>Original
+  poems</i> of Dryden, as collectively published in 1743, the joint
+  authorship is stated without a word of evidence in support of it.</p>
+
+  <p>If we turn to the earlier writers on Dryden, we meet with no facts in
+  favour of his claim to the poem in question. Anthony à Wood says, "the
+  earl of Mulgrave was generally thought to be the author." This was
+  written about 1694. The reverend Thomas Birch, a man of vast information,
+  repeated this statement in 1736. Neither Congreve nor Giles Jacob allude
+  to the poem.</p>
+
+  <p>The witnesses on the other side are, 1. The publisher of the <i>State
+  poems</i>. 2. Dean Lockier. And 3. The reverend Thomas Broughton.</p>
+
+  <p>The <i>State poems</i>, in which the essay is ascribed to Dryden, may
+  be called a surreptitious publication: it carries no authority. The
+  testimony of Lockier, which is to the same effect, was never published by
+  himself. It was a scrap of conversation held thirty years after the death
+  of Dryden, and reported by another from memory. The reverend Thomas
+  Broughton, who asserts the joint authorship of the poems, cites as his
+  authority the <i>Original poems</i>, &amp;c. Now Kippis assures us that
+  he edited those volumes. On the question at issue, he could discover no
+  authority but himself!</p>
+
+  <p>Dryden <i>may</i> have revised the <i>Essay on satire</i>. Is that a
+  sufficient reason for incorporating it with his works? Do we tack to the
+  works of Pope the poems of Wycherly and Parnell? We have authority for
+  stating that Pope revised the <i>Essay on poetry</i>. Is it to be added
+  to the works of Pope? Be it as it may, the poem was published, in
+  substance, six years before Pope was born!</p>
+
+  <p>As the evidence is very brief, there can be no necessity for
+  recapitulation; and I shall only add, that if about to edit the poetical
+  works of Dryden, I should reject the <i>Essay on satire</i>.</p>

+<h3>MACKLIN'S ORDINARY AND SCHOOL OF CRITICISM.</h3>
+
+  <p>Mr. George Wingrove Cooke, in his valuable work, <i>The History of
+  Party</i> (vol. iii, p. 66.), gives an admirable sketch of the life of
+  Edmund Burke. Speaking of his early career, and of the various designs
+  which he formed for his future course, we are told that "at <i>Macklin's
+  Debating Society</i> he made the first essay of his powers of
+  oratory."</p>
+
+  <p>Mr. Cunningham, in his <i>Handbook for London</i>, speaks of Macklin
+  delivering Lectures on Elocution at Pewterer's Hall (p. 394.), and of his
+  residence in Tavistock Row, Covent Garden (p. 484.); but he does not
+  mention <i>Macklin's Debating Society</i>. I imagine that by this
+  "Debating Society" is meant an <i>Ordinary and School of Criticism</i>,
+  which that eminent actor established in the year 1754, in the Piazza,
+  Covent Garden. Mr. W. Cooke, in his <i>Life of Macklin</i>, 1806, p.
+  199., says&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"What induced him [Macklin] to quit the stage in the full vigour of
+  fame and constitution, was one of those schemes which he had long
+  previously indulged himself in, of suddenly making his fortune by the
+  establishment of a tavern and coffee-house in the Piazza, Covent Garden;
+  to which he afterwards added a school of oratory, upon a plan hitherto
+  unknown in England, founded upon the Greek, Roman, French, and Italian
+  Societies, under the title of <i>The British Inquisition</i>."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>The first part of this plan (the public ordinary) was opened on the
+  11th of March, 1754; and an amusing account of its operations may be
+  found in Angelo's <i>Pic Nic</i>, p. 32. The second part of "Macklin's
+  mad plan," as it was then termed, "The British Inquisition," commenced
+  proceedings on the 21st of November in the same year; and here, according
+  to the first advertisement, "such subjects in Arts, Sciences, Literature,
+  Criticism, Philosophy, History, Politics, and Morality, as shall be found
+  useful and entertaining to society, will be lectured upon and freely
+  debated."</p>

+<h3>"LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST (Act II. Scene 1.).</h3>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"It is odd that Shakspeare should make Dumain inquire after Rosaline,
+  who was the mistress of Biron, and neglect Katharine, who was his own.
+  Biron behaves in the same manner.&mdash;Perhaps <i>all</i> the ladies
+  wore masks.&mdash;<span class="sc">Steevens</span>.</p>
+
+  <p>"They certainly did."&mdash;<span class="sc">Malone</span>.</p>
+
+  <p>"And what if they did?"&mdash;<span class="sc">Query</span>.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>In what possible way can the circumstance of the ladies <i>wearing
+  masks</i> lessen the inconsistency pointed out by Steevens?</p>
+
+  <p>Rosaline has been immediately singled out by her former
+  admirer&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Did I not dance with you in Brabant once?"</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>&mdash;a circumstance quite inconsistent with uncertain identity
+  afterwards.</p>
+
+  <p>But if the gentlemen really did mistake the identity of their ladies,
+  Boyet's answers must have misled them into a similar mistake in <i>their
+  names</i>: so that the natural consequence would have been, that each
+  lover would afterwards address his <!-- Page 164 --><span
+  class="pagenum"><a name="page164"></a>{164}</span>poetical effusion
+  <i>nominally</i> to the wrong lady! which does not appear to have been
+  the case.</p>
+
+  <p>Therefore, even if the masking be admitted, it can in no way lessen
+  the inconsistency of the cross questions, which to me appears to have
+  arisen from a most palpable instance of clerical or typographical
+  transposition.</p>
+
+  <p>Steevens was on the right scent, although he rejected it in the same
+  breath, when he said,&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"No advantage would be gained by <i>an exchange of names</i>, because
+  the last speech is determined to Biron by Maria, who gives a character of
+  him after he has made his exit."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>This is a good reason against a transposition in the <i>male</i>
+  names, but it is none whatever against the same occurrence in the ladies'
+  names; and consequently it is there that the true solution of the
+  difficulty must be sought.</p>
+
+  <p>If we admit that a substitution may have occurred, of "Rosaline" for
+  "Katharine," in Boyet's answer to Dumain, and <i>vice versâ</i> in his
+  answer to Biron, all difficulty disappears at once.</p>
+
+  <p>The completeness with which the idea of transposition not only
+  accounts for the existence of the error, but at the same time suggests
+  the manner in which it may be corrected, ought of itself to secure its
+  reception, even if it were not corroborated in a very singular way by the
+  following collateral circumstance.</p>
+
+  <p>It may be observed that Boyet points out two of the ladies, not only
+  by name, but also by styling them "heirs;" one of Falconbridge, the other
+  of Alençon. Now in their previous descriptions of their respective
+  lovers, one of the ladies (Maria) says she had met Longaville at a
+  marriage of a "Falconbridge;" another lady (Katharine) says she had met
+  Dumain at "Duke Alençon's." When, therefore, we find that Boyet, in reply
+  to Longaville's question, designates <i>Maria</i> as "heir of
+  Falconbridge," it is in direct analogy that he should, in answer to
+  Dumain's question, designate <i>Katharine</i> as "heir of Alençon;" but,
+  in consequence of the transposition of names, Boyet appears, as the text
+  now stands, to confer that designation, not upon Katharine, but upon
+  Rosaline, whom Biron had met at Brabant!</p>
+
+  <p>There can be no doubt, therefore, that the names of Katharine and
+  Rosaline have been transposed <i>contrary to the author's intention</i>,
+  and the only wonder is&mdash;not that such a very commonplace error
+  should have been committed&mdash;but that it should have been suffered to
+  remain through so many editions up to the present time.</p>

+<h3>NOTES ON NEWSPAPERS.</h3>
+
+  <p>I send you the following, as a help to "Materials for a satisfactory
+  History of Newspapers," alluded to in the last volume of "<span
+  class="sc">Notes and Queries</span>," p. 375.</p>
+
+  <p>I have in my possession some old newspapers, ranging from 1691 to
+  1694, entitled <i>A Collection for Improvement of Husbandry and
+  Trade</i>, edited by John Houghton, F.R.S., St. Bartholomew Lane, behind
+  the Royal Exchange, London. The size is a small folio, published weekly,
+  generally every Friday. It was carried on for some time merely as a
+  single leaf, with no advertisements. In this form, the editor
+  says&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"These papers are 2<i>d.</i> each here, and anybody may have them by
+  the post. But where that is thought too much, it may be eased by ten or
+  twelve obliging themselves constantly to take them from a bookseller,
+  coffee-man, or some other, who may afford to pay a carrier, and sell them
+  there for 2<i>d.</i>, or at most 3<i>d.</i>; or carriers themselves may
+  gain well, if they'll serve the country gentlemen. And any such
+  bookseller, coffee-man, or carrier, that will apply themselves to me,
+  shall have good encouragement, with liberty to return those that won't
+  sell."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>Ultimately the editor determined on admitting advertisements. He then
+  doubled the size of his paper, making it two leaves instead of one. In
+  reference to this increased size he says,&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"My collection I shall carry on as usual. This part is to give away;
+  and those who like it not, may omit the reading. I believe it will help
+  on trade, particularly encourage the advertisers to increase the vent of
+  my papers. I shall receive all sorts of advertisements, but shall answer
+  for the reasonableness of none; unless I give thereof a particular
+  character, on which (as I shall give it) may be dependence, but no
+  argument that others deserve not as well."</p>
+
+  <p>"I am inform'd that great numbers of gazettes are each time printed,
+  which makes them the most universal intelligencers; but I'll suppose mine
+  their first handmaid, because it goes (tho' not so thick, yet) to most
+  parts. It's also lasting, to be put into volumes with indexes; and
+  particularly there shall be an index of all the advertisements, whereby,
+  for ages to come, they may be useful. I have publish'd on the subject of
+  Husbandry and Trade, two quarto volumes, three folio volumes, with the
+  great sheet of taxes, acres, houses, &amp;c.; and am weekly carrying on
+  this paper, which may be brought to anybodies house within the Bills of
+  Mortality, or penny post, for one penny the week; and anywhere else in
+  England (where enough will encourage a bookseller or carrier). The
+  volumes may be had from most booksellers of England, Scotland, or
+  Ireland."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>The Collection, which the editor will carry on as usual, refers to the
+  single sheet. The Gazette must have been the London Gazette. In what sort
+  of way the editor could suppose that advertisements could be useful for
+  ages to come, we, in this age of enlightenment and knowledge, are at a
+  loss to conceive. The great sheet of taxes, acres, houses, &amp;c., I
+  have, and may give you an account of its contents at some future time.
+  The first page <!-- Page 165 --><span class="pagenum"><a
+  name="page165"></a>{165}</span>of the paper was always devoted to a
+  letter from the editor's own pen on husbandry, trade, chemistry, domestic
+  cookery, and a variety of other topics. The editor appears to have been a
+  spirited man, who collected with great care and diligence a great variety
+  of facts whereby to interest his readers. The advertisements are very
+  curious, specimens of which I will give you in another communication.
+  Each paper contains the weekly prices of wheat, rye, barley, malt, oats,
+  horse beans, peas, coals, hops, hay, tallow, and wool, in all the
+  counties of England and Wales; the prices of provisions in London; also a
+  weekly statement of wind and weather; the number of deaths, and their
+  causes; the number of christenings and burials, specifying how many of
+  each sex. The editor often concludes a column of information by stating,
+  "this is all I see useful to posterity." He not only appears to have been
+  a man of an active mind, but also a very kind man; for he says to those
+  who advertise in his paper for situations, &amp;c., that "if they apply
+  themselves to me, I'll strive to help them." He appears also to have kept
+  a shop, or at least to have traded in certain articles: for in one of his
+  papers is this advertisement:&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"In my first volume of 1682, I publish'd my own selling of chocolate,
+  and have sold in small quantities ever since: I have now two sorts, both
+  made of the best nuts, without spice or perfume; the one 5s., and the
+  other 6s. the pound; and I'll answer for their goodness. If I shall think
+  fit to sell any other sorts, I'll give notice.</p>

+  published.</p>

+<h2>Minor Notes.</h2>
+
+  <p><i>Origin of Harlequins.</i>&mdash;In a note to his translation of
+  Priscus' "History of the Embassy sent to Attila by Theodosius the
+  Younger" (<i>Hist. Civiliz.</i> app. iii. vol. ii. p. 430., Bogue's edit.
+  European Library), M. Guizot remarks, alluding to the appearance of
+  Zercho, a Moor, at Attila's feast:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Is it not singular to find an harlequin at the court of Attila? Yet
+  such is the origin of these buffoons. The colour of the black slaves, the
+  strangeness of their face and manners, caused them to be sought after as
+  excellent ministers of mirth; to complete the singularity, Zercho asks
+  his wife at the hands of Attila, closely paralleling Harlequin demanding
+  Columbine."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>Is this account of the origin of Harlequins generally acquiesced in? I

+  his introduction on the English or any foreign stage.</p>

+  before me a copy of Christopher Barkar's edition of the "Breeches" Bible,
+  1576, small folio, in which, on the fly-leaf, is the following
+  interesting note in the handwriting of the late Francis Douce:&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"It is generally conceived that the peculiarity, 'and they sewed fig

+
+  <p><i>Etymology of Mushroom.</i>&mdash;In the sixteenth century this word
+  appears generally to have been spelt <i>Mushrump</i>. Nares, in his
+  valuable <i>Glossary</i>, gives an instance from Marlow's play of
+  <i>Edward the Second</i>, 1598; but there is an earlier example in Robert
+  Southwell's <i>Spirituall Poems</i>, 1595:</p>
+
+  <div class="poem">
+    <div class="stanza">
+      <p class="hg3">"He that high growth on cedars did bestow,</p>
+      <p>Gave also lowly <i>mushrumps</i> leave to growe."</p>
+    </div>
+  </div>
+  <p>It is also spelt <i>Mushrump</i> in Cockeram's <i>Dictionary</i>,
+  1632. These instances may possibly lead to a correct etymology of the
+  word.</p>
+
+  <p class="author"><span class="sc">Edward F. Rimbault.</span>
+
+  <p><i>Curious Fact in Natural History.</i>&mdash;There is in the Brazils
+  a popular superstition to this effect. There is a tree called Japécarga,
+  which is said to grow out of the body of the insect called Cigara. This
+  is a very large tree, and the Cigara is an insect which makes an
+  incessant chirping on the tree, and, as the saying goes, chirps till it
+  bursts. When the insect dies, the tree is said to grow out of it, the
+  roots growing down the legs. My explanation is this: The insect feeds on
+  the seeds of the Japécarga, and occasionally, under advantageous
+  circumstances, some of the seeds germinate, and cause the death of the
+  insect, the tree shooting up through the softest part, the back, and the
+  rootlets making their way down the only outlets, the legs. I wish to know
+  whether any similar fact in Natural History has been noticed, and if not,
+  how is it accounted for, since I can vouch for the skin of the insect
+  having been found with the tree growing out of its back, and the roots
+  growing down through the legs.</p>

+  from each other from 60 to 100 feet. The formation of hail is an effect

+  agent by the conductors, descends in the shape of rain. Mr. John Murray,
+  F.S.A., F.L.S., &amp;c., in his work on Switzerland, speaks very

+<h3>THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.</h3>
+
+  <p>Everybody can see that the first commandment is directed against
+  polytheism, and the second against idolatry; and most people know that
+  the Church of Rome differs from the Church of England in joining these
+  two into one commandment, and dividing the tenth into two commandments,
+  so as to make up the full number, ten. This point of difference betwixt
+  the two churches must necessarily have been the subject of much dispute.
+  There must be plausible reasons on both sides for every commandment in
+  the Anglican ritual being different from its correspondent on the Roman
+  tables: and the settlement of this question must properly belong to the
+  theologian, since holy scripture only mentions how many divine
+  commandments there are (Exodus, xxxiv. 28.; Deuteronomy, iv. 13., x. 4.),
+  without authoritatively separating them.</p>
+
+  <p>Will any one kindly inform me where this question may be found fully
+  discussed; and where mention is made of the earliest known divisions of
+  the law? Also, I should be glad to know how the Jews at the present day
+  divide the commandments; and whether there is any record or tradition of
+  there ever having been discussions in their church upon this very

+
+  <p>In reading the works of that very learned and instructive author,

+  probable solution of the question:&mdash;"Propter abusum nominis

+  sound is concerned, this seems a nearer approximation to "fib" than the
+  word "fable." The sense, too, is not <i>very</i> remote from the accepted
+  one of "<i>talking fibs</i>." Query, as to this conjecture?</p>

+  materiæ aptissimum adjunximus, ne quid esset quod hic desideraretur." In
+  the fourth book of this <i>Supplement</i>, Cato is represented as

+<h3>CARDINAL'S MONUMENT.</h3>
+
+<p class="cenhead">(Vol. iii., p. 106.)</p>
+
+  <p>Your correspondent and querist, J. D. A., asks for some information
+  respecting the coat of arms surmounted by a cardinal's hat, sculptured
+  and affixed to one of the pillars of the south transept in St. Saviour's
+  Church, Southwark. I send in reply an extract from a now scarce book,
+  Arthur Tiler's <i>History and Antiquities of St. Saviour's</i>, 1765,
+  with which all the later historians of the church agree:&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+<p class="cenhead">"Anno 1400. &nbsp; 2 Hen. IV.</p>
+
+  <p>"The whole church was new built about this time; Henry Beaufort
+  (second son of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, son of Edward III.),
+  Cardinal of St. Eusebius, and Bishop of Winchester from the year 1405 to
+  the time of his death in 1447, might have contributed towards the
+  building, being a man of great wealth, for which he was called the rich
+  Cardinal, <i>as the arms of the Beauforts are carved in stone on a pillar
+  in the south cross aisle; and by the remaining sculpture on each side it
+  appears to be done for strings pendant from a Cardinal's hat placed over
+  them</i>. The arms are quarterly France and England, a border compone
+  argent and azure."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>When the transepts were rebuilt, some years since, the cardinal's hat,
+  which till that time was nearly defaced, was then restored, and the coat
+  of arms newly emblazoned.</p>

+
+  <p>With reference to the Query of J. D. A. (p. 106. antè), it would
+  appear that the cardinal's hat, but with a difference in the number of
+  rows of tassels, is sometimes seen on the monuments of men who never were
+  raised to that dignity.</p>
+
+  <p>In the Cathedral of St. Canice, Kilkenny, are two monuments placed
+  there during the rule of the Confederate Catholics, viz., that of James
+  Cleere, "Protonotarius et Rector ecclesiæ D. Joannis Di&oelig;cesis
+  oporiensis," who died <span class="scac">A.D.</span> 1643, Nov. 14; and
+  David Rothe, intrusive Roman Catholic Bishop of Ossery, who died some
+  years after&mdash;on both of which the arms of the individual are
+  surmounted by a cardinal's hat. It is quite certain that neither of these
+  ecclesiastics had a right to this distinction <i>as cardinals</i>. For
+  the right of Bishops and Prothonotaries to wear hats or caps of the same
+  shape as the cardinals, with their colours and peculiarities, see
+  <i>Glossary of Heraldry</i> (Oxford), under "Cap-Cardinals." Any further
+  examples will oblige</p>

+  <p>The Cardinal's hat, with arms beneath, on a pillar near the poet
+  Gower's monument, in St. Saviour's, Southwark, refers directly to the

+  Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester, and who in that capacity resided in the
+  adjoining palace; indirectly it refers to the marriage of James V. of
+  Scotland with Jane Beaufort, the Cardinal's niece: and it is something to
+  the honour of St. Mary Overies, (the church in question,) to add that it
+  was within its walls that the ceremony took place. Besides Gower, the
+  parish registers state that Edmond Shakspeare ob. 1607 (one of the
+  brothers of the great dramatist), John Fletcher ob. 1625, and Philip
+  Massinger ob. 1640. (See Mr. Knight's <i>Old England</i>, eng. 548. p.

+
+  <p class="author"><span class="sc">Blowen</span>.
+
+  <p>A cardinal's hat is differenced by colour and the number of its
+  tassels, not by its shape, which is the same for all clergymen. Thus, for
+  simple priests, a black hat, with one tassel on either side; for a
+  bishop, a green hat with three tassels; for a cardinal, a crimson hat
+  with five or seven tassels. What the reason may be for the variation in
+  the number of the tassels amongst cardinals, I should be glad to
+  learn.</p>

+  (which is, no doubt, what is intended), are those of Cardinal Beaufort,
+  Bishop of Winchester, and Cardinal Hallum, Bishop of Salisbury. I can
+  find no mention anywhere of the family of Cardinal Hallum, or Hallam; and
+  should be glad to know who he was descended from, and why he had those
+  arms assigned to him by Ciaconius, who is tolerably correct.</p>

+<h3>BOOTY'S CASE.</h3>
+
+<p class="cenhead">(Vol. iii., p. 40.)</p>
+
+  <p>I cannot refer <span class="sc">Demonologist</span> to an
+  <i>authentic</i> report of Booty's case, but I believe none is more so,
+  than that in Kirby's <i>Wonderful and Eccentric Museum</i>, vol. ii. p.
+  247.</p>
+
+  <p>The following extract is given from the journal of Mr.
+  Spinks:&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Friday, 15th May, 1687. We had the observation of Mr. Booty this day.
+  Captain Barrisby, Captain Bristowe, Captain Brown, I, and Mr. Ball,
+  merchant, went on shore in Captain Barnaby's boat, to shoot rabbits upon
+  Stromboli; and when we had done we called all our men together by us, and
+  about half an hour and fourteen minutes after three in the afternoon, to
+  our great surprise, we all of us saw two men come running towards us with
+  such swiftness that no living man could run half so fast as they did run,
+  when all of us heard Captain Barnaby say, 'Lord bless me, the foremost is
+  old Booty, my next-door neighbour;' but he said he did not know the other
+  that run behind: he was in black clothes, and the foremost was in grey.
+  Then Captain Barnaby desired all of us to take an account of the time,
+  and put it down in our pocket-books, and when we got on board we wrote it
+  in our journals; for we saw them into the flames of fire, and there was a
+  great noise which greatly affrighted us all; for we none of us ever saw
+  or heard the like before. Captain Barnaby said he was certain it was old
+  Booty, which he saw running over Stromboli and into the flames of Hell.
+  It is stated that Captain Barnaby told his wife, and she told somebody
+  else, and that it was afterward told to Mrs. Booty, who arrested Captain
+  Barnaby in a thousand pound action, for what he had said of her husband.
+  Captain Barnaby gave bail to it, and it came on to a trial in the Court
+  of King's Bench, and they had Mr. Booty's wearing apparel brought into
+  court, and the sexton of the parish, and the people that were with him
+  when he died; and we swore to our journals, and it came to the same time
+  within two minutes; ten of our men swore to the buttons on his coat, and
+  that they were covered with the same sort of cloth his coat was made of,
+  and so it proved. The jury asked Mr. Spinks if he knew Mr. Booty. He
+  answered, 'I never saw him till he ran by me on the burning
+  mountain.'"</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>The chief justice from April, 1687, to February, 1689, was Sir Robert
+  Wright. His name is not given in the report, but <i>the judge</i>
+  said&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"Lord have mercy upon me, and grant that I may never see what you have
+  seen: one, two, or three may be mistaken, but thirty never can be
+  mistaken. So the widow lost her suit."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>An action for slander of a deceased husband, brought by the widow, and
+  the defendant held to bail, is a remarkable beginning. The plea of
+  justification, that Booty ran into Hell, is hardly supported by evidence
+  that he ran into the flames at Stromboli. The evidence was, that the
+  defendant <i>said</i> that one of the two runners was Booty; it does not
+  appear that the other witnesses knew him. The witnesses must have kept a
+  good look to observe the buttons of Booty's coat when he ran more than
+  twice as fast as any living man could run. Finally, as the time of the
+  death and the observation "came to the same within two minutes," and
+  Stromboli is about 15° east of Gravesend, Booty must have run to Hell
+  before he died.</p>
+
+  <p>I have no doubt that "the case is well known in the navy." The facts
+  are of the sort usually reported to the marines; but the law such as was
+  unknown before 9 &amp; 10 Vict. c. 95.</p>

+  the son of King John"). In like manner, Edward II. was distinguished from

+  Edward III. could not thus be distinguished from his father; he was

+  <i>before</i> the Conquest, the third was qualified by the addition of
+  the phrase in question, "post conquestum." To Richard II. generally, and

+<h3>DESCENT OF HENRY IV.</h3>
+
+<p class="cenhead">(Vol. ii., p. 375.; Vol. iii., p. 120.)</p>
+
+  <p>Upon the deposition of Richard II., 30th September, 1399, Henry IV.,
+  then Duke of Lancaster, claimed the crown in the following terms:</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"In the name of the Fader, Sonne, and Holy Ghost, I, Henry of
+  Lancastre, chalenge this Rewme of Ynglonde and the Croune, with all the
+  Membres and the appurtenances, als I that am descendit be ryght lyne of
+  the Blode comyng fro the gude Lord King Henry thirde, and thorghe that
+  ryght that God of his grace hath sent me with helpe of my kyn and of my
+  friendes to recover it: the which Rewme was in poynt to be ondone for
+  defaut of Governance, and undoying of the gude Lawes."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>Rapin observes upon this (vol. i. p. 476.):&mdash;</p>
+
+<blockquote class="b1n">
+
+  <p>"It was not without reason that he affected to make use of obscure
+  expressions, which left undetermined the foundation upon which he built
+  his pretended right. If he seemed to derive his title from Henry III.
+  rather than from Edward III., his grandfather, it was because there was a
+  rumour that Edmund, Earl of Lancaster, surnamed Crouch-back, was eldest
+  son of Henry III.; but by reason of his deformity Edward I., his younger
+  brother, was placed on the throne. According to this supposition, the
+  Duke would have made the ignorant believe he could ground his title upon
+  being son of Blanch of Lancaster, granddaughter of Edmund Crouch-back,
+  and heiress of that family. But as he was sensible everybody could not be
+  imposed upon by so gross a forgery, he added certain expressions,
+  intimating that he built his right also upon the service he had just done
+  the state. This is the meaning of the claim, expressed in such obscure
+  terms. As it was resolved to adjudge the crown to the Duke, the
+  Parliament took care not to examine his claim too closely, but were very
+  willing to suppose it uncontestable. Thus, without any regard to the just
+  rights of the Earl of March, it was decreed that Henry should be
+  proclaimed king, which was done that very day," &amp;c.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+  <p>It would seem, however, that Henry was to a certain extent compelled
+  to make his claim to the crown in the form he did (Hales, <i>Hist. C.
+  L.</i> c. 5.), notwithstanding his desire to do so as a conqueror. (Seld.
+  <i>Tit. Hon.</i> l. 3.)</p>

+
+  <p><i>Chauncy&mdash;Entwysel.</i>&mdash;To a dry genealogical Query (Vol.
+  iii., p. 61.), your readers will wish me to reply as briefly as possible.
+  F.&nbsp;R.&nbsp;R. will find that Sir H. Chauncy's statement is borrowed from
+  Weever. The latter founded his statement, that "Wilfred Entwysel was the
+  last heir of his house," on the authority of Dalton, Norroy; but this
+  statement, as your correspondent has shown, and as other evidence would
+  prove, is not well-founded. It may be assumed that Sir Bertyne Entwysel
+  did not leave issue, <i>male</i>, by Lucy his wife, the daughter of Sir
+  John Ashton, of Ashton-under-Lyne, as Leland speaks of a daughter only,
+  "of whom Master Bradene, of Northamptonshire, is descended." His
+  connexion with Lancashire is shown by his epitaph, and by our finding his
+  name as a witness to a Lancashire charter. The alliance which he formed
+  may be urged as a further proof. Leland's expression, that "he came into
+  England," may imply that Sir Bertyne remained in France discharging the
+  duties of his office, from the period of the Battle of Agincourt, where
+  he <!-- Page 172 --><span class="pagenum"><a

+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to

+(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.

+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.

+     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

+     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 http://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
+http://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.

+     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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is 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:
+
+     http://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.

+A WORD TO THE LITERARY MEN OF ENGLAND.
+
+    "_Twenty scholars in seven years might retrieve the worst losses we
+    experience from the bigotry of popes and califs._ I do not intend to
+    assert that every Herculanean manuscript might, within that period, be
+    unfolded; but the three first legible sentences might be; which is
+    quite sufficient to inform the intelligent reader whether a farther
+    attempt on the scroll would repay his trouble. _There are fewer than
+    thirty Greek authors worth inquiring for; they exist, beyond doubt, and
+    beyond doubt they may, by attention, patience, and skill, be brought to
+    light._ * * With a _smaller_ sum than is annually expended on the
+    appointment of some silly and impertinent young envoy, we might restore
+    _all_, or _nearly all_ those writers of immortal name, whose
+    disappearance has been the regret of genius for four entire centuries.
+    In my opinion, a _few thousand pounds_, laid out on such an
+    undertaking, would be laid out as creditably as on a Persian carpet or
+    a Turkish tent."--Landor's _Imaginary Conversations--Southey and
+    Porson--Works_, vol. i. p. 20.
+
+I call upon the literary men of England, upon the English government, and
+upon the public, to set the example in a glorious expedition, which, even
+in this age of wonders, is one of no little importance and magnitude. I
+conjure them to bear in mind the words I have placed at the head of this
+article,--the opinion of one of our best and most delightful authors. This
+opinion Mr. Landor, veiled under the eidolon of Porson, I feel assured,
+does not hold alone; I believe it to be engraven on the "red-leaved
+tablets" of the hearts of many more learned and more distinguished scholars
+than myself, who am but as the trumpet which is to rouse the friends of
+classical literature to action; as the bell which awakens the reaper to his
+abundant harvest: but I will sustain, that on none of them is it cut more
+deeply or more inextinguishably than on mine.
+
+I propose that the friends of Classical, Scandinavian, and Oriental
+literature form themselves into an Association for the Rescue of the many
+ancient MSS. in the Greek, Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Norwegian, Zend, Sanscrit,
+Hebrew, Abyssinian, Ethiopian, Hindostanee, Persian, Syriac, Arabic,
+Armenian, Coptic, Turkish, and Chinese languages:--that application be made
+to government for the pecuniary furtherance of this enterprise;--and that
+the active co-operation of all foreign literary men be secured.[1]
+
+Thus a careful and untiring search may be entered upon in all the regions
+of the earth where any MSS. are likely to be found, and the recovery or
+loss of the many inestimable authors of antiquity be made certain. Let the
+libraries of Europe be examined strictly and inquisitorially (and this will
+not be a heavy expense), and the new accessions to classical literature
+printed, the MSS. {162} which present themselves of already known authors
+carefully examined, and the variations to the received text marked. How
+much this is wanted we experience in the corruptions of Sophocles,
+AEschylus, Thucydides, Plato, and Aristoteles! In this way much that is
+valuable may be recovered; much that is matter of discussion set at rest.
+Let me instance the Babrian fables, and the discovery of Mr. Harris at
+Alexandria; who, it was remarked to me, might have discovered the whole,
+instead of a part, had proper hands unfolded the mummy.
+
+On the advantages of this search, it were useless to expatiate: every one
+is sensible of it, and, sooner or later, it _must_ occur. Let us not allow
+our grandchildren to surpass us in everything, but let us set about this
+ourselves. Monstrous as the idea seems, it is simple of execution.
+
+I will not take up the space so kindly afforded me by the Editor of "NOTES
+AND QUERIES" with speculation. The Association should be composed of a
+Literary Section and a Business Section: the first to be under the
+administration of a President and an efficient Board of Examiners, to look
+into literary matters, and examine and appoint the proper officers of the
+Investigation Parties; which parties must be composed of clever,
+adventurous, hardy, and adroit men, obtaining the assistance of the natives
+wherever they may be carrying on their researches; the Second Section to be
+under the direction of a Chairman and Finance Committee, to which the
+officers of the subordinate departments render their accounts.
+
+I know not whether more will be required of me on this subject; very likely
+not: but I reserve much that I could say, until that time. I have now only
+to thank the Editor for inserting this long, but I will not say, wholly
+uninteresting proposal.
+
+KENNETH R. H. MACKENZIE.

+
+THE ESSAY ON SATIRE.
+
+Dryden, as sir Walter Scott observes, left a name in literature "second
+only to those of Milton and Shakspere"; but, popular as his writings were,
+he gave no collective edition of his poetical or dramatic works. The
+current editions of his poems may therefore be open to censure, both on the
+score of deficiency and redundancy--and such I believe to be the fact.
+
+An _Essay on satire_, itself a coarse satire, has been ascribed to him for
+more than a century on dubious authority, and the correctness of this
+ascription has been properly suggested as a question for examination.
+
+We have to decide on the credibility of two opposite statements, as made in
+the publications about to be enumerated:--
+
+    1. "The works of John Sheffield, earl of Mulgrave, marquis of Normanby,
+    and duke of Buckingham. LONDON: printed for John Barber, 1723. 4º. 2
+    vols."
+
+    2. "The works of John Sheffield, earl of Mulgrave, marquis of Normanby,
+    and duke of Buckingham. Printed for John Barber, alderman of LONDON,
+    1726. Small 8º. 2 vols."
+
+    3. "Original poems and translations, by John Dryden, Esq. LONDON:
+    printed for J. and R. Tonson, 1743. 12º. 2 vols."
+
+In the two former publications, the poem appears as the entire composition
+of the noble author, and is said to have been "written in the year 1675."
+In the latter publication it appears without date, and is said to be "by
+Mr. Dryden and the earl of Mulgrave."
+
+The publications were posthumous, and as the editors afford no explanation
+of the point in dispute, we must consult the reputed authors.
+
+In the year 1691, as an advertisement to _King Arthur_, a dramatic opera,
+Dryden printed a catalogue of his "plays and poems in quarto," in order to
+prevent future mis-ascriptions. The catalogue comprises ten poems, but no
+_Essay on satire_. The publisher of _King Arthur_ was Mr. Jacob Tonson.
+
+In 1682, the earl of Mulgrave published, anonymously, through the agency of
+Mr. Joseph Hindmarsh, an _Essay upon poetry_. It contains these lines:--
+
+ "The laureat here may justly claim our praise,
+  Crown'd by _Mac-Fleckno_ with immortal bays;
+  Though prais'd and punish'd for another's rimes,
+  His own deserve that glorious fate sometimes,
+  Were he not forc'd to carry now dead weight,
+  Rid by some lumpish minister of state."
+
+In 1717, Mr. Tonson published _Poems by the earl of Roscommon_; and added
+thereto the _Essay on poetry_, "with the leave and with the corrections of
+the author." The lines shall now be given in their amended state, as they
+appear in that volume, with the accompanying notes:--
+
+ "The _Laureat_[2] here may justly claim our praise,
+  Crown'd by _Mack-Fleckno_[3] with immortal bays;
+  Tho' _prais'd_ and _punish'd_ once for other's[4] rhimes,
+  His own deserve as great applause sometimes;
+  Yet _Pegasus_[5], of late, has born _dead weight_,
+  Rid by some _lumpish_ ministers of state."
+
+Next to Dryden and the earl of Mulgrave, as authorities on this question,
+comes the elder Jacob Tonson. Both writers were contributors to his
+_Poetical miscellanies_. In 1701 he published _Poems on various occasions,
+etc. By Mr. John Dryden_. The volume has not the _Essay on satire_. The
+same {163} Tonson, as we have just seen, gave currency to the assertion
+that Dryden was "ignorant of the whole matter."
+
+To this display of contemporary evidence must be added the information
+derivable from the posthumous publications enumerated in the former part of
+this article. The publication of 1723 was made by direction of the duchess
+of Buckingham. The couplet, "Tho' prais'd," &c., and the appended note,
+were omitted. In 1726 Mr. alderman Barber republished the volumes "with
+several additions, and without any castrations," restoring the couplet and
+note as they were printed in 1717. In the _Original poems_ of Dryden, as
+collectively published in 1743, the joint authorship is stated without a
+word of evidence in support of it.
+
+If we turn to the earlier writers on Dryden, we meet with no facts in
+favour of his claim to the poem in question. Anthony a Wood says, "the earl
+of Mulgrave was generally thought to be the author." This was written about
+1694. The reverend Thomas Birch, a man of vast information, repeated this
+statement in 1736. Neither Congreve nor Giles Jacob allude to the poem.
+
+The witnesses on the other side are, 1. The publisher of the _State poems_.
+2. Dean Lockier. And 3. The reverend Thomas Broughton.
+
+The _State poems_, in which the essay is ascribed to Dryden, may be called
+a surreptitious publication: it carries no authority. The testimony of
+Lockier, which is to the same effect, was never published by himself. It
+was a scrap of conversation held thirty years after the death of Dryden,
+and reported by another from memory. The reverend Thomas Broughton, who
+asserts the joint authorship of the poems, cites as his authority the
+_Original poems_, &c. Now Kippis assures us that he edited those volumes.
+On the question at issue, he could discover no authority but himself!
+
+Dryden _may_ have revised the _Essay on satire_. Is that a sufficient
+reason for incorporating it with his works? Do we tack to the works of Pope
+the poems of Wycherly and Parnell? We have authority for stating that Pope
+revised the _Essay on poetry_. Is it to be added to the works of Pope? Be
+it as it may, the poem was published, in substance, six years before Pope
+was born!
+
+As the evidence is very brief, there can be no necessity for
+recapitulation; and I shall only add, that if about to edit the poetical
+works of Dryden, I should reject the _Essay on satire_.

+MACKLIN'S ORDINARY AND SCHOOL OF CRITICISM.
+
+Mr. George Wingrove Cooke, in his valuable work, _The History of Party_
+(vol. iii, p. 66.), gives an admirable sketch of the life of Edmund Burke.
+Speaking of his early career, and of the various designs which he formed
+for his future course, we are told that "at _Macklin's Debating Society_ he
+made the first essay of his powers of oratory."
+
+Mr. Cunningham, in his _Handbook for London_, speaks of Macklin delivering
+Lectures on Elocution at Pewterer's Hall (p. 394.), and of his residence in
+Tavistock Row, Covent Garden (p. 484.); but he does not mention _Macklin's
+Debating Society_. I imagine that by this "Debating Society" is meant an
+_Ordinary and School of Criticism_, which that eminent actor established in
+the year 1754, in the Piazza, Covent Garden. Mr. W. Cooke, in his _Life of
+Macklin_, 1806, p. 199., says--
+
+    "What induced him [Macklin] to quit the stage in the full vigour of
+    fame and constitution, was one of those schemes which he had long
+    previously indulged himself in, of suddenly making his fortune by the
+    establishment of a tavern and coffee-house in the Piazza, Covent
+    Garden; to which he afterwards added a school of oratory, upon a plan
+    hitherto unknown in England, founded upon the Greek, Roman, French, and
+    Italian Societies, under the title of _The British Inquisition_."
+
+The first part of this plan (the public ordinary) was opened on the 11th of
+March, 1754; and an amusing account of its operations may be found in
+Angelo's _Pic Nic_, p. 32. The second part of "Macklin's mad plan," as it
+was then termed, "The British Inquisition," commenced proceedings on the
+21st of November in the same year; and here, according to the first
+advertisement, "such subjects in Arts, Sciences, Literature, Criticism,
+Philosophy, History, Politics, and Morality, as shall be found useful and
+entertaining to society, will be lectured upon and freely debated."

+"LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST (Act II. Scene 1.).
+
+    "It is odd that Shakspeare should make Dumain inquire after Rosaline,
+    who was the mistress of Biron, and neglect Katharine, who was his own.
+    Biron behaves in the same manner.--Perhaps _all_ the ladies wore
+    masks.--STEEVENS.
+
+    "They certainly did."--MALONE.
+
+    "And what if they did?"--QUERY.
+
+In what possible way can the circumstance of the ladies _wearing masks_
+lessen the inconsistency pointed out by Steevens?
+
+Rosaline has been immediately singled out by her former admirer--
+
+    "Did I not dance with you in Brabant once?"
+
+--a circumstance quite inconsistent with uncertain identity afterwards.
+
+But if the gentlemen really did mistake the identity of their ladies,
+Boyet's answers must have misled them into a similar mistake in _their
+names_: so that the natural consequence would have been, that each lover
+would afterwards address his {164} poetical effusion _nominally_ to the
+wrong lady! which does not appear to have been the case.
+
+Therefore, even if the masking be admitted, it can in no way lessen the
+inconsistency of the cross questions, which to me appears to have arisen
+from a most palpable instance of clerical or typographical transposition.
+
+Steevens was on the right scent, although he rejected it in the same
+breath, when he said,--
+
+    "No advantage would be gained by _an exchange of names_, because the
+    last speech is determined to Biron by Maria, who gives a character of
+    him after he has made his exit."
+
+This is a good reason against a transposition in the _male_ names, but it
+is none whatever against the same occurrence in the ladies' names; and
+consequently it is there that the true solution of the difficulty must be
+sought.
+
+If we admit that a substitution may have occurred, of "Rosaline" for
+"Katharine," in Boyet's answer to Dumain, and _vice versa_ in his answer to
+Biron, all difficulty disappears at once.
+
+The completeness with which the idea of transposition not only accounts for
+the existence of the error, but at the same time suggests the manner in
+which it may be corrected, ought of itself to secure its reception, even if
+it were not corroborated in a very singular way by the following collateral
+circumstance.
+
+It may be observed that Boyet points out two of the ladies, not only by
+name, but also by styling them "heirs;" one of Falconbridge, the other of
+Alencon. Now in their previous descriptions of their respective lovers, one
+of the ladies (Maria) says she had met Longaville at a marriage of a
+"Falconbridge;" another lady (Katharine) says she had met Dumain at "Duke
+Alencon's." When, therefore, we find that Boyet, in reply to Longaville's
+question, designates _Maria_ as "heir of Falconbridge," it is in direct
+analogy that he should, in answer to Dumain's question, designate
+_Katharine_ as "heir of Alencon;" but, in consequence of the transposition
+of names, Boyet appears, as the text now stands, to confer that
+designation, not upon Katharine, but upon Rosaline, whom Biron had met at
+Brabant!
+
+There can be no doubt, therefore, that the names of Katharine and Rosaline
+have been transposed _contrary to the author's intention_, and the only
+wonder is--not that such a very commonplace error should have been
+committed--but that it should have been suffered to remain through so many
+editions up to the present time.

+NOTES ON NEWSPAPERS.
+
+I send you the following, as a help to "Materials for a satisfactory
+History of Newspapers," alluded to in the last volume of "NOTES AND
+QUERIES," p. 375.
+
+I have in my possession some old newspapers, ranging from 1691 to 1694,
+entitled _A Collection for Improvement of Husbandry and Trade_, edited by
+John Houghton, F.R.S., St. Bartholomew Lane, behind the Royal Exchange,
+London. The size is a small folio, published weekly, generally every
+Friday. It was carried on for some time merely as a single leaf, with no
+advertisements. In this form, the editor says--
+
+    "These papers are 2d. each here, and anybody may have them by the post.
+    But where that is thought too much, it may be eased by ten or twelve
+    obliging themselves constantly to take them from a bookseller,
+    coffee-man, or some other, who may afford to pay a carrier, and sell
+    them there for 2d., or at most 3d.; or carriers themselves may gain
+    well, if they'll serve the country gentlemen. And any such bookseller,
+    coffee-man, or carrier, that will apply themselves to me, shall have
+    good encouragement, with liberty to return those that won't sell."
+
+Ultimately the editor determined on admitting advertisements. He then
+doubled the size of his paper, making it two leaves instead of one. In
+reference to this increased size he says,--
+
+    "My collection I shall carry on as usual. This part is to give away;
+    and those who like it not, may omit the reading. I believe it will help
+    on trade, particularly encourage the advertisers to increase the vent
+    of my papers. I shall receive all sorts of advertisements, but shall
+    answer for the reasonableness of none; unless I give thereof a
+    particular character, on which (as I shall give it) may be dependence,
+    but no argument that others deserve not as well."
+
+    "I am inform'd that great numbers of gazettes are each time printed,
+    which makes them the most universal intelligencers; but I'll suppose
+    mine their first handmaid, because it goes (tho' not so thick, yet) to
+    most parts. It's also lasting, to be put into volumes with indexes; and
+    particularly there shall be an index of all the advertisements,
+    whereby, for ages to come, they may be useful. I have publish'd on the
+    subject of Husbandry and Trade, two quarto volumes, three folio
+    volumes, with the great sheet of taxes, acres, houses, &c.; and am
+    weekly carrying on this paper, which may be brought to anybodies house
+    within the Bills of Mortality, or penny post, for one penny the week;
+    and anywhere else in England (where enough will encourage a bookseller
+    or carrier). The volumes may be had from most booksellers of England,
+    Scotland, or Ireland."
+
+The Collection, which the editor will carry on as usual, refers to the
+single sheet. The Gazette must have been the London Gazette. In what sort
+of way the editor could suppose that advertisements could be useful for
+ages to come, we, in this age of enlightenment and knowledge, are at a loss
+to conceive. The great sheet of taxes, acres, houses, &c., I have, and may
+give you an account of its contents at some future time. The first page
+{165} of the paper was always devoted to a letter from the editor's own pen
+on husbandry, trade, chemistry, domestic cookery, and a variety of other
+topics. The editor appears to have been a spirited man, who collected with
+great care and diligence a great variety of facts whereby to interest his
+readers. The advertisements are very curious, specimens of which I will
+give you in another communication. Each paper contains the weekly prices of
+wheat, rye, barley, malt, oats, horse beans, peas, coals, hops, hay,
+tallow, and wool, in all the counties of England and Wales; the prices of
+provisions in London; also a weekly statement of wind and weather; the
+number of deaths, and their causes; the number of christenings and burials,
+specifying how many of each sex. The editor often concludes a column of
+information by stating, "this is all I see useful to posterity." He not
+only appears to have been a man of an active mind, but also a very kind
+man; for he says to those who advertise in his paper for situations, &c.,
+that "if they apply themselves to me, I'll strive to help them." He appears
+also to have kept a shop, or at least to have traded in certain articles:
+for in one of his papers is this advertisement:--
+
+    "In my first volume of 1682, I publish'd my own selling of chocolate,
+    and have sold in small quantities ever since: I have now two sorts,
+    both made of the best nuts, without spice or perfume; the one 5s., and
+    the other 6s. the pound; and I'll answer for their goodness. If I shall
+    think fit to sell any other sorts, I'll give notice.
+

+MR. GOUGH'S TRANSLATION OF THE HISTORY OF THE BIBLE.
+
+The original work is thus described by Brunet, in his _Manuel_, Paris,
+1842, vol. ii. p. 583.:
+
+    "Histoire du Vieux et du Nouveau Testament (par Dav. Martin), enrichie
+    de plus de 400 fig. Anvers (Antwerp), P. Mortier, 1700, 2 vol. gr. in
+    fol."
+
+This work is usually called _Bible de Mortier_. It is not a difficult book
+to be met with, but the price varies considerably according to the state of
+the plates.

+_Mr. Gough's Translation of the History of the Bible_ (Vol. iii., p.
+100.).--A friend has furnished me with the following extract from the
+_Manuel du Libraire_ of M. J. C. Brunet in reply to my inquiry who was the
+author of the original history. It is taken from tom. i. p. 544.
+
+    "Histoire du V. et du N. Testament (par Dav. Martin), enrichie de plus
+    de 400 fig. Anvers (Antwerp.), P. Mortier, 1700, 2 vol. gr. in fol."
+
+M. Brunet informs us that copies of these volumes are valued by the state
+of the plates; one of which, in the Apocalypse, having been broken, was
+mended with nails, which marked the impression, and gave the distinction of
+copies before or with the nails.
+
+As there can be no doubt but that most booksellers take in your useful
+publication, one of them may be induced to inform the undersigned if he has
+a copy for sale, and the price.

+Minor Notes.
+
+_Origin of Harlequins._--In a note to his translation of Priscus' "History
+of the Embassy sent to Attila by Theodosius the Younger" (_Hist. Civiliz._
+app. iii. vol. ii. p. 430., Bogue's edit. European Library), M. Guizot
+remarks, alluding to the appearance of Zercho, a Moor, at Attila's feast:
+
+    "Is it not singular to find an harlequin at the court of Attila? Yet
+    such is the origin of these buffoons. The colour of the black slaves,
+    the strangeness of their face and manners, caused them to be sought
+    after as excellent ministers of mirth; to complete the singularity,
+    Zercho asks his wife at the hands of Attila, closely paralleling
+    Harlequin demanding Columbine."
+
+Is this account of the origin of Harlequins generally acquiesced in? I
+should be obliged by any early notice of the character of Harlequin, and
+his introduction on the English or any foreign stage.
+
+E. L. N.
+
+_Monosyllables_.--Among the many correspondents who have sent you specimens
+of monosyllabic poetry, I have seen no one who has quoted this very
+singular passage from Phineas Fletcher's _Purple Island_. It is _far more
+striking_ than anything you have yet inserted on this subject.
+
+              Canto I. Stanza 7.
+ "New light new love, new love new life hath bred;
+      A life that lives by love, and loves by light;
+    A love to Him to whom all loves are wed;
+      A light to whom the sun is darkest night:
+    Eye's light, heart's love, soul's only life He is;
+    Life, soul, love, heart, light, eye, and all are His;
+  He eye, light, heart, love, soul; He all my joy and bliss."
+
+In seventy words only _one_ of more than a syllable; the alliteration in
+the second line is likewise noticeable.

+
+_The Breeches, or Geneva Bible_ (Vol. iii, p. 17.).--I have before me a
+copy of Christopher Barkar's edition of the "Breeches" Bible, 1576, small
+folio, in which, on the fly-leaf, is the following interesting note in the
+handwriting of the late Francis Douce:--
+
+    "It is generally conceived that the peculiarity, 'and they sewed fig
+    tree leaves together, and made themselves breeches,' belongs
+    exclusively to this Bible, but it is a mistake. The Saxon version of
+    AElfric has, {166} '_and sewed fig-leaves, and worked them_ WEED-BREECH,
+    _or cloaths for the breech._' Wicliffe also translates 'and maden hem
+    _breechis_;' and it is singular that Littleton, in his excellent
+    _Dictionary_, explains _perizomata_, the word used in the Vulgate, by
+    _breeches_. In the manuscript French translation of Petrus Comestor's
+    _Commentary on the Bible_, made by Guiars des Moulins in the 13th
+    century, we have 'Couvertures tout autres-sint comme unnes petites
+    _braies_.'"
+
+EDWARD F. RIMBAULT.
+
+_Etymology of Mushroom._--In the sixteenth century this word appears
+generally to have been spelt _Mushrump_. Nares, in his valuable _Glossary_,
+gives an instance from Marlow's play of _Edward the Second_, 1598; but
+there is an earlier example in Robert Southwell's _Spirituall Poems_, 1595:
+
+ "He that high growth on cedars did bestow,
+  Gave also lowly _mushrumps_ leave to growe."
+
+It is also spelt _Mushrump_ in Cockeram's _Dictionary_, 1632. These
+instances may possibly lead to a correct etymology of the word.
+
+EDWARD F. RIMBAULT.
+
+_Curious Fact in Natural History._--There is in the Brazils a popular
+superstition to this effect. There is a tree called Japecarga, which is
+said to grow out of the body of the insect called Cigara. This is a very
+large tree, and the Cigara is an insect which makes an incessant chirping
+on the tree, and, as the saying goes, chirps till it bursts. When the
+insect dies, the tree is said to grow out of it, the roots growing down the
+legs. My explanation is this: The insect feeds on the seeds of the
+Japecarga, and occasionally, under advantageous circumstances, some of the
+seeds germinate, and cause the death of the insect, the tree shooting up
+through the softest part, the back, and the rootlets making their way down
+the only outlets, the legs. I wish to know whether any similar fact in
+Natural History has been noticed, and if not, how is it accounted for,
+since I can vouch for the skin of the insect having been found with the
+tree growing out of its back, and the roots growing down through the legs.

+
+_The Great Exhibition._--It is well known that the vineyards of Switzerland
+have been long protected from hail by means of upright poles having copper
+wire attached to them, termed "paragreles," distant from each other from 60
+to 100 feet. The formation of hail is an effect of which electricity is the
+cause, and the cloud being deprived of this agent by the conductors,
+descends in the shape of rain. Mr. John Murray, F.S.A., F.L.S., &c., in his
+work on Switzerland, speaks very decidedly of their utility. Has then this
+ingenious contrivance been considered with reference to the protection of
+the Great Exhibition and its valuable, or rather invaluable, contents? or
+why is it deemed inapplicable to the purpose?

+
+THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
+
+Everybody can see that the first commandment is directed against
+polytheism, and the second against idolatry; and most people know that the
+Church of Rome differs from the Church of England in joining these two into
+one commandment, and dividing the tenth into two commandments, so as to
+make up the full number, ten. This point of difference betwixt the two
+churches must necessarily have been the subject of much dispute. There must
+be plausible reasons on both sides for every commandment in the Anglican
+ritual being different from its correspondent on the Roman tables: and the
+settlement of this question must properly belong to the theologian, since
+holy scripture only mentions how many divine commandments there are
+(Exodus, xxxiv. 28.; Deuteronomy, iv. 13., x. 4.), without authoritatively
+separating them.
+
+Will any one kindly inform me where this question may be found fully
+discussed; and where mention is made of the earliest known divisions of the
+law? Also, I should be glad to know how the Jews at the present day divide
+the commandments; and whether there is any record or tradition of there
+ever having been discussions in their church upon this very interesting and
+no less important matter?

+_Was Hugh Peters ever on the Stage?_--In a pamphlet entitled _Arbitrary

+
+_Derivation of the Word Fib._--Can any of your readers suggest a proper

+nothing as to the etymology, but explains it as "a cant word among
+children;" while, at the same time, he inserts it on the authority of Pope
+and Arbuthnot.
+
+In reading the works of that very learned and instructive author, Samuel
+Werenfels, I was struck with a passage in his _Diatribe de Meteoris_, p.
+272. (Amstel. Wetstein, 1702), which seemed to furnish a probable solution
+of the question:--"Propter abusum nominis Phoebi evenit, ut omnes qui,
+altius in oratione, quam decet, se extollere volunt, Gallis hodiernis
+[Greek: phoibologein] Phoebum loqui, _Parler_ _Phebus_, dicantur." So far
+as the sound is concerned, this seems a nearer approximation to "fib" than
+the word "fable." The sense, too, is not _very_ remote from the accepted
+one of "_talking fibs_." Query, as to this conjecture?

+_Thomas May, the Author of the Supplement to Lucan._--Who was this Thomas
+May? To an Elzevir edition of Lucan, 1658, Amsterdam, "accuranto Cornelio
+Schrevelio," there is added "Supplementum Lucani Libri Septem; authore
+Thoma Maio, Anglo." In the preface it is stated, "Supplementum Lucani ab
+Anglo quodam antehac seorsim editum, et huic materiae aptissimum adjunximus,
+ne quid esset quod hic desideraretur." In the fourth book of this
+_Supplement_, Cato is represented as soliloquising before his death as
+follows:--
+
+ "Quam diversa, inquit, restant post funera sortes!
+  Credo equidem, divine Plato, te dogmata vera
+  Haec ipsum docuisse Deum. Deus ipse sequendam
+  (Aut Natura homines ratioque innata fefellit)
+  Proposuit virtutem, et praemia debita justis
+  Haec quonian justos injusta potentia fraudat
+  Saepius in terris, et gens humana rebellat
+  Solvere post mortem justissimus ipse tenetur."
+
+The famous soliloquy in Addison's _Cato_ seems to resemble this, in its
+general tone of thought. In a former passage occur these lines:--
+
+             "Solatia sola haec,
+  Quod meliore frui post mortem lumine sperat.
+  Immortalem animam spes haec probat."
+
+The idea is similar to that contained in--
+
+ "Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire,
+  This longing after immortality?"
+
+Addison seems to me to have had May's description of Cato's death in his
+mind, when he wrote the soliloquy.

+
+2. Is the etymology of the word made up of "extra" and "ditio" put for
+"deditio," a giving up or surrendering?
+
+Does "ignore" mean to "treat as non-existent;" and are there no other words
+in the language which express exactly the meaning conveyed by these two?

+CARDINAL'S MONUMENT.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 106.)
+
+Your correspondent and querist, J. D. A., asks for some information
+respecting the coat of arms surmounted by a cardinal's hat, sculptured and
+affixed to one of the pillars of the south transept in St. Saviour's
+Church, Southwark. I send in reply an extract from a now scarce book,
+Arthur Tiler's _History and Antiquities of St. Saviour's_, 1765, with which
+all the later historians of the church agree:--
+
+    "Anno 1400.   2 Hen. IV.
+
+    "The whole church was new built about this time; Henry Beaufort (second
+    son of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, son of Edward III.), Cardinal
+    of St. Eusebius, and Bishop of Winchester from the year 1405 to the
+    time of his death in 1447, might have contributed towards the building,
+    being a man of great wealth, for which he was called the rich Cardinal,
+    _as the arms of the Beauforts are carved in stone on a pillar in the
+    south cross aisle; and by the remaining sculpture on each side it
+    appears to be done for strings pendant from a Cardinal's hat placed
+    over them_. The arms are quarterly France and England, a border compone
+    argent and azure."
+
+When the transepts were rebuilt, some years since, the cardinal's hat,

+With reference to the Query of J. D. A. (p. 106. ante), it would appear
+that the cardinal's hat, but with a difference in the number of rows of
+tassels, is sometimes seen on the monuments of men who never were raised to
+that dignity.
+
+In the Cathedral of St. Canice, Kilkenny, are two monuments placed there
+during the rule of the Confederate Catholics, viz., that of James Cleere,
+"Protonotarius et Rector ecclesiae D. Joannis Dioecesis oporiensis," who
+died A.D. 1643, Nov. 14; and David Rothe, intrusive Roman Catholic Bishop
+of Ossery, who died some years after--on both of which the arms of the
+individual are surmounted by a cardinal's hat. It is quite certain that
+neither of these ecclesiastics had a right to this distinction _as
+cardinals_. For the right of Bishops and Prothonotaries to wear hats or
+caps of the same shape as the cardinals, with their colours and
+peculiarities, see _Glossary of Heraldry_ (Oxford), under "Cap-Cardinals."
+Any further examples will oblige

+The Cardinal's hat, with arms beneath, on a pillar near the poet Gower's
+monument, in St. Saviour's, Southwark, refers directly to the beneficence
+of that busy cardinal and very remarkable man, {170} Cardinal Beaufort,
+Bishop of Winchester, and who in that capacity resided in the adjoining
+palace; indirectly it refers to the marriage of James V. of Scotland with
+Jane Beaufort, the Cardinal's niece: and it is something to the honour of
+St. Mary Overies, (the church in question,) to add that it was within its
+walls that the ceremony took place. Besides Gower, the parish registers
+state that Edmond Shakspeare ob. 1607 (one of the brothers of the great
+dramatist), John Fletcher ob. 1625, and Philip Massinger ob. 1640. (See Mr.
+Knight's _Old England_, eng. 548. p. 147.)

+
+A cardinal's hat is differenced by colour and the number of its tassels,
+not by its shape, which is the same for all clergymen. Thus, for simple
+priests, a black hat, with one tassel on either side; for a bishop, a green
+hat with three tassels; for a cardinal, a crimson hat with five or seven
+tassels. What the reason may be for the variation in the number of the
+tassels amongst cardinals, I should be glad to learn.

+In Ciaconius (_Vitae et Res Gestae Pontificum_, Rome, 1630), there is a list

+and the only instances of France and England quarterly (which is, no doubt,
+what is intended), are those of Cardinal Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester,
+and Cardinal Hallum, Bishop of Salisbury. I can find no mention anywhere of
+the family of Cardinal Hallum, or Hallam; and should be glad to know who he
+was descended from, and why he had those arms assigned to him by Ciaconius,
+who is tolerably correct.

+BOOTY'S CASE.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 40.)
+
+I cannot refer DEMONOLOGIST to an _authentic_ report of Booty's case, but I
+believe none is more so, than that in Kirby's _Wonderful and Eccentric
+Museum_, vol. ii. p. 247.
+
+The following extract is given from the journal of Mr. Spinks:--
+
+    "Friday, 15th May, 1687. We had the observation of Mr. Booty this day.
+    Captain Barrisby, Captain Bristowe, Captain Brown, I, and Mr. Ball,
+    merchant, went on shore in Captain Barnaby's boat, to shoot rabbits
+    upon Stromboli; and when we had done we called all our men together by
+    us, and about half an hour and fourteen minutes after three in the
+    afternoon, to our great surprise, we all of us saw two men come running
+    towards us with such swiftness that no living man could run half so
+    fast as they did run, when all of us heard Captain Barnaby say, 'Lord
+    bless me, the foremost is old Booty, my next-door neighbour;' but he
+    said he did not know the other that run behind: he was in black
+    clothes, and the foremost was in grey. Then Captain Barnaby desired all
+    of us to take an account of the time, and put it down in our
+    pocket-books, and when we got on board we wrote it in our journals; for
+    we saw them into the flames of fire, and there was a great noise which
+    greatly affrighted us all; for we none of us ever saw or heard the like
+    before. Captain Barnaby said he was certain it was old Booty, which he
+    saw running over Stromboli and into the flames of Hell. It is stated
+    that Captain Barnaby told his wife, and she told somebody else, and
+    that it was afterward told to Mrs. Booty, who arrested Captain Barnaby
+    in a thousand pound action, for what he had said of her husband.
+    Captain Barnaby gave bail to it, and it came on to a trial in the Court
+    of King's Bench, and they had Mr. Booty's wearing apparel brought into
+    court, and the sexton of the parish, and the people that were with him
+    when he died; and we swore to our journals, and it came to the same
+    time within two minutes; ten of our men swore to the buttons on his
+    coat, and that they were covered with the same sort of cloth his coat
+    was made of, and so it proved. The jury asked Mr. Spinks if he knew Mr.
+    Booty. He answered, 'I never saw him till he ran by me on the burning
+    mountain.'"
+
+The chief justice from April, 1687, to February, 1689, was Sir Robert
+Wright. His name is not given in the report, but _the judge_ said--
+
+    "Lord have mercy upon me, and grant that I may never see what you have
+    seen: one, two, or three may be mistaken, but thirty never can be
+    mistaken. So the widow lost her suit."
+
+An action for slander of a deceased husband, brought by the widow, and the
+defendant held to bail, is a remarkable beginning. The plea of
+justification, that Booty ran into Hell, is hardly supported by evidence
+that he ran into the flames at Stromboli. The evidence was, that the
+defendant _said_ that one of the two runners was Booty; it does not appear
+that the other witnesses knew him. The witnesses must have kept a good look
+to observe the buttons of Booty's coat when he ran more than twice as fast
+as any living man could run. Finally, as the time of the death and the
+observation "came to the same within two minutes," and Stromboli is about
+15 deg. east of Gravesend, Booty must have run to Hell before he died.
+
+I have no doubt that "the case is well known in the navy." The facts are of
+the sort usually reported to the marines; but the law such as was unknown
+before 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95.

+THE CONQUEST.
+
+(Vol. ii., p. 440.; Vol. iii., p. 92.)
+
+I question the position of S. K., that the phrase "post conquestum" is used
+in the deed he cites (Vol. ii., p. 92.) for the accession of the king.
+"Post conquestum" was, in records and deeds, applied with more or less
+frequency to all our kings, from Edward III. to Henry VIII. To show this I
+give the following references to the pages of Madox's _Formulare
+Anglicanum_:-- {171}

+
+I believe "post conquestum" was also applied to Edward V.; but the records
+and deeds of his short reign are necessarily but few.
+
+I conjecture that the use of the term "post conquestum" thus originated.
+
+As we had Kings of England of the name of Edward before the Conquest,
+Edward the First was distinguished from these monarchs by being styled
+"King Edward, the son of King Henry" (his father was called "King Henry,
+the son of King John"). In like manner, Edward II. was distinguished from
+his father by being called "King Edward, the son of King Edward;" but
+Edward III. could not thus be distinguished from his father; he was
+therefore called King Edward III.; but, as there were Kings Edward _before_
+the Conquest, the third was qualified by the addition of the phrase in
+question, "post conquestum." To Richard II. generally, and to his
+successors up to Henry VIII. either generally or occasionally, the same
+phrase, "post conquestum," was also applied; but, if we except Edward IV.
+and V., this phrase was not at all required, or applicable in their cases,
+inasmuch as no King of England _before_ the Conquest was named either
+Richard or Henry.

+DESCENT OF HENRY IV.
+
+(Vol. ii., p. 375.; Vol. iii., p. 120.)
+
+Upon the deposition of Richard II., 30th September, 1399, Henry IV., then
+Duke of Lancaster, claimed the crown in the following terms:
+
+    "In the name of the Fader, Sonne, and Holy Ghost, I, Henry of
+    Lancastre, chalenge this Rewme of Ynglonde and the Croune, with all the
+    Membres and the appurtenances, als I that am descendit be ryght lyne of
+    the Blode comyng fro the gude Lord King Henry thirde, and thorghe that
+    ryght that God of his grace hath sent me with helpe of my kyn and of my
+    friendes to recover it: the which Rewme was in poynt to be ondone for
+    defaut of Governance, and undoying of the gude Lawes."
+
+Rapin observes upon this (vol. i. p. 476.):--
+
+    "It was not without reason that he affected to make use of obscure
+    expressions, which left undetermined the foundation upon which he built
+    his pretended right. If he seemed to derive his title from Henry III.
+    rather than from Edward III., his grandfather, it was because there was
+    a rumour that Edmund, Earl of Lancaster, surnamed Crouch-back, was
+    eldest son of Henry III.; but by reason of his deformity Edward I., his
+    younger brother, was placed on the throne. According to this
+    supposition, the Duke would have made the ignorant believe he could
+    ground his title upon being son of Blanch of Lancaster, granddaughter
+    of Edmund Crouch-back, and heiress of that family. But as he was
+    sensible everybody could not be imposed upon by so gross a forgery, he
+    added certain expressions, intimating that he built his right also upon
+    the service he had just done the state. This is the meaning of the
+    claim, expressed in such obscure terms. As it was resolved to adjudge
+    the crown to the Duke, the Parliament took care not to examine his
+    claim too closely, but were very willing to suppose it uncontestable.
+    Thus, without any regard to the just rights of the Earl of March, it
+    was decreed that Henry should be proclaimed king, which was done that
+    very day," &c.
+
+It would seem, however, that Henry was to a certain extent compelled to
+make his claim to the crown in the form he did (Hales, _Hist. C. L._ c.
+5.), notwithstanding his desire to do so as a conqueror. (Seld. _Tit. Hon._
+l. 3.)

+_Chauncy--Entwysel._--To a dry genealogical Query (Vol. iii., p. 61.), your
+readers will wish me to reply as briefly as possible. F. R. R. will find
+that Sir H. Chauncy's statement is borrowed from Weever. The latter founded
+his statement, that "Wilfred Entwysel was the last heir of his house," on
+the authority of Dalton, Norroy; but this statement, as your correspondent
+has shown, and as other evidence would prove, is not well-founded. It may
+be assumed that Sir Bertyne Entwysel did not leave issue, _male_, by Lucy
+his wife, the daughter of Sir John Ashton, of Ashton-under-Lyne, as Leland
+speaks of a daughter only, "of whom Master Bradene, of Northamptonshire, is
+descended." His connexion with Lancashire is shown by his epitaph, and by
+our finding his name as a witness to a Lancashire charter. The alliance
+which he formed may be urged as a further proof. Leland's expression, that
+"he came into England," may imply that Sir Bertyne remained in France
+discharging the duties of his office, from the period of the Battle of
+Agincourt, where he {172} signally distinguished himself, until his
+services were again called for in the Wars of the Roses.

+_Queen Mary's Lament_ (Vol. iii., p. 89.).--The following copy of verses,
+written by this beautiful and unfortunate princess, during her confinement
+in Fotheringay Castle, was presented to the public by the kindness of a
+very eminent and liberal collector:--
+
+ "Que suis-je helas? et de quoi sert la vie?
+  J'en suis fors qu'un corps prive de cueur;
+  Un ombre vayn, un objet de malheur,
+  Qui n'a plus rien que de mourir en vie.
+  Plus ne me portez, O enemys, d'envie,
+  Qui n'a plus l'esprit a la grandeur,
+  J'ai consomme d'excessive douleur,
+  Voltre ire en bref de voir assouvie.
+  Et vous amys qui m'avez tenu chere,
+  Souvenez-vous que sans cueur, et sans santey,
+  Je ne scaurois auqun bon oeuvre faire.
+  Souhaitez donc fin de calamitey,
+  Et que _sus bas_ etant assez punie,
+  J'aie ma part en la joie infinie."
+
+The verses are written on a sheet of paper, by Mary herself, in a large
+rambling hand. The following literal translation of them was made by a
+countrywoman of Mary's, a lady in beauty of person and elegance of mind by
+no means inferior to that accomplished and unfortunate princess:
+
+ "Alas, what am I? and in what estate?
+    A wretched corse bereaved of its heart,
+  An empty shadow, lost, unfortunate:
+    To die is now in life my only part.
+  Foes to my greatness, let your envy rest,
+    In me no taste for grandeur now is found;
+  Consum'd by grief, with heavy ills oppress'd,
+    Your wishes and desires will soon be crown'd.
+  And you, my friends, who still have held me dear,
+    Bethink you, that when health and heart are fled,
+    And ev'ry hope of future good is dead,
+ 'Tis time to wish our sorrows ended here;
+  And that this punishment on earth is given,
+  That my pure soul may rise to endless bliss in heaven."
+
+Immediately before her execution she repeated the following Latin prayer,
+composed by herself, {173} and which has been set to a beautiful plaintive
+air, by Dr. Harington of Bath:
+
+ "O Domine Deus speravi in te!
+  O care mi Jesu, nunc libera me!
+  In dura catena, in misera poena desidero te!
+  Languendo, gemendo, et genuflectendo,
+  Adoro, imploro, ut liberes me!"
+
+It may be thus paraphrased:
+
+ "In this last solemn and tremendous hour,
+  My Lord, my Saviour, I invoke Thy power!
+  In these sad pangs of anguish and of death,
+  Receive, O Lord, Thy suppliant's parting breath!
+  Before Thy hallowed cross she prostrate lies,
+  O hear her prayers, commiserate her sighs!
+  Extend thy arms of mercy and of love,
+  And bear her to thy peaceful realms above."

+
+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.

+     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

+     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

+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free

+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm

+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
+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

+
+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 http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+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

+
+
+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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is 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:
+
+     http://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.
