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. + +KENNETH R. H. MACKENZIE. + + February 18. 1851. + +[Footnote 1: I need not remind you how favourable an opportunity is +presented by this year.] + + * * * * * + +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_. + +BOLTON CORNEY. + +[Footnote 2: Mr. _Dryden_.] + +[Footnote 3: A famous satyrical poem of his.] + +[Footnote 4: A copy of verses called, _An essay on satyr_, for which Mr +_Dryden_ was both applauded and beaten, tho' not only innocent but +ignorant, of the whole matter.] + +[Footnote 5: A poem call'd, _The hind and panther_.] + + * * * * * + +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." + +EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. + + * * * * * + +"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. + +A. G. B. + + Leeds, Feb. 10. 1851. + + * * * * * + +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. + + JOHN HOUGHTON." + +By this advertisement we get at the date when the paper was first +published. + +H. M.

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. + +H. F. + +_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.

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. + +J.

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. + +H. A. B. + + Trin. Col., Cambridge. + +_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. + +JOHN MANLEY. + + Pernambuco. + +_Hudibras in 1710._--On the back of the oldest register of the parish of +Syston, Leicestershire, is the following memorandum:-- + + "July 19th, 1710.

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? + +C. T. + + * * * * * + + +Queries. + +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? + +ALFRED GATTY. + + Ecclesfield. + + * * * * * + + +Minor Queries. + +_Was Hugh Peters ever on the Stage?_--In a pamphlet entitled _Arbitrary +Government displayed to the Life, in the illegal Transactions of the late +Times under the tyrannick Usurpation of Oliver Cromwell_, ed. 1690, p. 98., +we are informed that Hugh Peters, after he had been expelled the University +of Cambridge, went to London, and enrolled himself as player in +Shakspeare's company, "in which he usually performed the part of Clown."

Old Bailey, to whom a reference would occasionally +save many doubts and inquiries, connects it with "fable." Johnson says +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."

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. + +J.

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.

(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 +during the rule of the Confederate Catholics, viz., that of James Cleere, +"Protonotarius et Rector ecclesiæ 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 + +J. GRAVES. + + Kilkenny, Feb. 10. 1851. + +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.) + +BLOWEN. + +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. + +W. D-N. + +In Ciaconius (_Vitæ et Res Gestæ Pontificum_, Rome, 1630), there is a list +of all the cardinals created up to that date, with their armorial bearings; +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. + +A. W. M. + + * * * * * + +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."

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. + +C.

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.) + +J. B. COLMAN. + + * * * * * + + +Replies to Minor Queries. + +_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. + +J. H. M. + +_"Pretended" Reprint of Ancient Poetry_, in J. Taylor's Catalogue of 1824 +(Vol. ii., p. 463.), replied to by CATO (Vol. ii., p. 500.).--My attention +has been drawn to the above, wherein doubts have been raised as to the +existence of a volume supposed to be UNIQUE; and criticisms follow on my +note, which records the fact, that "only TWO COPIES were reprinted." CATO +has already stated that the reprinting the TWO COPIES was at the expense of +the late Rev. Peter Hall; and ONE COPY produced at his sale twenty +shillings: the other copy bore the impress of Mr. Davidson, a highly +respectable printer; and that only two copies were reprinted, one of which +came direct to me from the Rev. Peter Hall. This copy was purchased from me +by an eminent statesman, who has formed one of the finest libraries in the +kingdom. + +JAMES TAYLOR, Formerly of Blackfriars Road. + + Newick, Jan. 27. 1851. + +_Lights on the Altar._--I would refer your correspondent D. SHOLBUS (Vol. +ii., p. 495.) to one of the Canons published under King Edgar, about the +year 968. Lambard's Latin version of the ordinance is as follows:-- + + "Semper in ecclesia lumen ardeat dum Missa decantetur." + +([Greek: Archaionomia], ed. Wheloc. p. 70. Cantab. 1644. Compare Cressy's +_Church History of Brittany_, p. 870. A.D. 1668.) + +R. G. + +_Cognation of the Jews and Lacedæmonians_ (Vol. ii., p. 377.).--I should +occupy too much space in your interesting publication were I to give a list +of the critics or ethnographers who have commented on this passage, and +shall therefore be content to mention some of the most important works +which may afford sufficient information, or at least enable your +correspondent to pursue the inquiry farther. + +Calmet's _Dissertation sur la Parenté des Juifs et des Lacédémoniens_, +which is included in his Dissertations, Paris, 1720, in 3 vols. 4to, and +also in his _Commentaires_.--Stillingfleet's _Origines Sacræ_, book iii., +c. 4., who admits the probability that the Spartans had relation to +Abraham, as deriving from Phaleg, from whom Abraham came. This appears to +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 +Selden, _de Synedriis_, l. ii. c. iii. s.v.--The Rev. Charles Forster's +_Historical Geography of Arabia_, part i. sect. vi., in which he discusses +"the vestiges of Arab colonies, and maintains the Arabo-Abrahamic origin of +the Greeks."--Stephanus Morinus, in _Diss. de Cognatione Lacedæmoniorum et +Hebræorum_ (inter dissertationes viii. Dordraci, 1700, 8vo.) + +Your correspondent, who, in Vol. ii., p. 230., requests to be supplied with +"a list of all the theories and publications respecting the ten tribes +commonly called the Lost Tribes," will probably be satisfied with that +furnished by Basnage's _History of the Jews_, in which, however, he +overlooks the theory of Olaus Rudbeckius, Filius, that they are to be found +neither in Asia, nor Africa, nor America, but in Lapland! The same author, +in a treatise _de Ave Selau, cujus mentio fit Numer._ xi. 31., endeavours +to establish an analogy between the Hebrew and Gothic languages. + +T. J. + +_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." + _Anecdotes of some Distinguished Persons_, + 8vo. London, 1795, vol. i. p. 154. + +H. E. + +_Tandem D. O. M._ (Vol. iii., p. 62.)--I would suggest that this +inscription might be resolved into + + "Tandem Deus Otia Misit," + +a thanksgiving for the fulfilment of some oft-made prayer or long-cherished +hope; the idea--if I am right in my conjecture--having probably been taken +from the 6th line of Virgil's 1st Eclogue-- + + "O Melibæe! deus nobis hæc otia fecit." + +Any accounts that remain of the great Carthaginian Captain's Cornish +namesake, may perhaps tend to show that he had preferred the "otium cum +dignitate" of literary leisure to the turmoil of the battle of life, and to +the use of the _harness_, whether civil or military, that it had forced him +to wear. + +C. FORBES. + + Temple. + + [J. V. S. suggests, "May it not in its complete state be 'Tandem Deo, + Optimo et Maximo,' and its translation, 'When all is done, let praise + be to God most mighty and most beneficent?'" and X. Z. says, "Possibly, + 'Tandem desiderato opere mactus'--not, I think, a very choice specimen + of Latinity, but perhaps good enough for a fly-leaf."] + +_Tandem D. O. M._ (Vol. iii., p. 62.).--Is not D. O. M. the common +abbreviation for "Deo Optimo Maximo?" and so the whole phrase an +acknowledgment by the painful (and probably pious) collector of the most +interesting library referred to, of his thanks to God on having "_at +length_" obtained possession of some long-coveted folio, or +vainly-sought-for edition? + +J. EASTWOOD. + + Ecclesfield. + +_D. O. M._--I am emboldened by the Query respecting "Tandem D. O. M. (Vol. +iii., p. 62.) to ask, what is the solution of D. O. M.? On the head of a +tombstone, the inscription is frequent on the continent. I am aware that it +is interpreted "Deo Optimo Maximo" when occurring in the dedication of a +church; but it appears on a tomb to supply the place of our M.S., or the +D. M. of the Romans. Can any of your readers give me the true meaning? It +must be well known, I should think, to all who have studied inscriptions. +As I am indebted to Faber Marinus for an excuse for putting this Query, it +is only courteous to suggest a solution to his D. O. M.--may it be "Datus +omnino Musis?" + +[Greek: Ôô.] + + * * * * * + + +Miscellaneous. + +NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. + +To such of our readers, and we believe they form neither the least numerous +nor the least intelligent portion of our friends, who consider the columns +which we devote to _Folk Lore_ among the most interesting parts of our +paper, we recommend an attentive perusal of a little work, which has just +reached a second edition, and which is calculated to invest with fresh +interest that very curious subject. We allude to Dr. Herbert Mayo's volume +_On the Truths contained in Popular Superstitions, with an Account of +Mesmerism_. Dr. Mayo's object is "to exhibit in their true light the +singular natural phenomena by which old superstition and modern +charlatanism have in turn profited,--to indicate their laws, and to +develope their theory"--and he does this in a way to excite the reader's +deepest attention, and to convince him that there are more things in heaven +and earth than are dreamt of in his philosophy. + +_Daily Steps towards Heaven, or Practical Thoughts on the Gospel History, +and especially on the Life and Teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. For every +Day in the Year, according to the Christian Seasons, with Titles and +Characters of Christ, and a Harmony of the Four Gospels_, is the ample and +descriptive title of a small devotional volume, which has been received +with such favour by all classes of churchmen as to have passed through two +large editions in little more than a twelve-month; which is better +testimony to its merits than any we could give. + +Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson will sell on Monday next, and the five +following days, a valuable collection of Books, from the library of a +gentleman in the country, among which will be found some curious early +English Tracts relating to the Church, and some scarce poetical pieces. + +Messrs. Puttick and Simpson, of 191. Piccadilly, will sell on Monday, and +five following days, the valuable library of the late Rev. George Innes, +Head Master of the King's School, Warwick; together with the library of a +clergyman. + +BOOKS RECEIVED.--_Dr. Pusey's Letter to the Lord Bishop of London, in +explanation of some Statements contained in a Letter by the Rev.

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.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit 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. |
