+
+SUGGESTIONS FOR PRESERVING A RECORD OF EXISTING MONUMENTS.
+
+When, in the opening Number of the present Volume (p. 14), we called the
+attention of our readers to the _Monumentarium of Exeter Cathedral_, we
+expressed a hope that the good services which Mr. Hewett had thereby
+rendered to all genealogical, antiquarian, and historical inquirers would
+be so obvious as to lead a number of labourers into the same useful field.
+That hope bids fair to be fully realised. In Vol. iii., p. 116., we printed
+a letter from MR. PEACOCK, announcing his intention of copying the
+inscriptions in the churches and churchyards of the Hundred of Manley; and
+we this week present our readers with three fresh communications upon the
+subject.
+
+We give precedence to MISS BOCKETT'S, inasmuch as it involves no general
+proposal upon the subject, but is merely expressive of that lady's
+willingness, in which we have no doubt she will be followed by many of her
+countrywomen to help forward the good work.
+
+    In your Number for Feb. 15th, I find MR. EDWARD PEACOCK, Jun., of
+    Bottesford Moors, Messingham, Kirton Lindsey, wishes to collect church
+    memorials for work he intends to publish. If he would like the accounts
+    of monuments in the immediate neighbourhood of Reading, as far as I am
+    able it would give me pleasure to send some to him.
+
+    JULIA R. BOCKETT.
+
+    Southcote Lodge, near Reading.
+
+The second makes us acquainted with a plan for the publication of a
+_Monumenta Anglicana_ by MR. DUNKIN,--a plan which would have our hearty
+concurrence and recommendation, if it were at all practicable; but which,
+it will be seen at a glance, must fail from its very vastness. If the
+_Monumentarium of Exeter_ contains the material for half a moderate-sized
+octavo volume, in what number of volumes does MR. DUNKIN propose to
+complete his collection--even if a want of purchasers of the early volumes
+did not nip in the bud his praiseworthy and well-intentioned scheme?
+
+    Your correspondent MR. EDW. PEACOCK, Jun, may be interested in knowing
+    that a work has some time been projected by my friend Mr. Alfred John
+    Dunkin of Dartford (whose industry and antiquarian learning render him
+    well fitted for the task), under the title of _Monumenta Anglicana_,
+    and which is intended to be a medium for preserving the inscriptions in
+    every church in the kingdom. There can be no doubt of the high value
+    and utility of such a work, especially if accompanied by a
+    well-arranged index of names; and I have no doubt MR. PEACOCK, and
+    indeed many others of your valued correspondents, will be induced to
+    {218} assist in the good cause, by sending memoranda of inscriptions to
+    Mr. Dunkin.
+
+    L. J.
+
+    Plymouth.
+
+The following letter from the REV. E. S. TAYLOR proposes a Society for the
+purpose:--
+
+    I for one shall be happy to co-operate with MR. PEACOCK in this useful
+    work; and I trust that, through the valuable medium of "NOTES AND
+    QUERIES," many will be induced to offer their assistance. Could not a
+    Society be formed for the purpose, so that mutual correspondence might
+    take place?
+
+    E. S. TAYLOR.
+
+    Martham, Norfolk.
+
+We doubt the necessity, and indeed the advisability, of the formation of
+any such Society.
+
+MR. PEACOCK (_antè_., p. 117.) has already wisely suggested, that "in time
+a copy of every inscription in every church in England might be ready for
+reference in our National Library," and we have as little doubt that the
+MS. department of the British Museum is the proper place of deposit for
+such records, as that the trustees would willingly accept the charge of
+them on the recommendation of their present able and active Keeper of the
+Manuscripts. What he, and what the trustees would require, would be some
+security that the documents were what they professed to be; and this might
+very properly be accomplished through the agency of such a Society as MR.
+TAYLOR proposes, if there did not already exist a Society upon whom such a
+duty might very safely be devolved:--and have we not, in the greater energy
+which that Society has lately displayed, evidence that it would undertake a
+duty for which it seems pre-eminently fitted? We allude to the Society of
+Antiquaries. The anxiety of Lord Mahon, its president, to promote the
+efficiency of that Society, has recently been made evident in many ways;
+and we cannot doubt that he would sanction the formation of a sub-committee
+for the purpose of assisting in collecting and preserving a record of all
+existing monuments, or that he would find a lack of able men to serve on
+such a committee, when he numbers among the official or active Fellows of
+the Society gentlemen so peculiarly fitted to carry out this important
+national object, as Mr. Hunter, Sir Charles Young, Mr. J. Payne Collier,
+and Mr. Bruce.

+Notes.
+
+ON THE WORD "RACK" IN SHAKSPEARE'S TEMPEST.
+
+As another illustration of the careless or superficial manner in which the
+meaning of Shakspeare has been sought, allow me to call attention to the
+celebrated passage in the _Tempest_ in which the word "rack" occurs. The
+passage really presents no difficulty; and the meaning of the word, as it
+appears to me, might as well be settled at once and for ever. I make this
+assertion, not dogmatically, but with the view of testing the correctness
+of my opinion, that this is not at all a question of etymology, but
+entirely one of construction. The passage reads as follows:--
+
+                 "These, our actors,
+  As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
+  Are melted into air, into thin air:
+  And, like the baseless fabrick of this vision,
+  The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
+  The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
+  Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve;
+  And, like this insubstantial pageant, faded,
+  Leave not a rack behind."--_Tempest_, Act IV. Sc. 1.
+
+As I have expressed my opinion that this is not at all a question of
+etymology, I shall not say more in reference to this view of the case than
+that "rack," spelt as in Shakspeare, is a word in popular and every-day use
+in the phrase "rack and ruin;" that we have it in the term "rack off," as
+applied to wine, meaning _to take from the rack_, or, in other words, "to
+leave a rack" or _refuse_ "behind," racked wine being wine drawn from the
+lees; and that it is, I believe, still in use in parts of England, meaning
+_remains_ or _refuse_, as, in the low German, "der Wraek" means the same
+thing. Misled, however, by an unusual mode of spelling, and unacquainted
+with the literature of Shakspeare's age, certain of the commentators
+suggested the readings of _track_ and _trace_; whereupon Horne Tooke
+remarks:--
+
+    "The ignorance and presumption of his commentators have shamefully
+    disfigured Shakspeare's text. The first folio, notwithstanding some few
+    palpable misprints, requires none of their alterations. Had they
+    understood English as well as he did, they would not have quarrelled
+    with his language."--_Diversions of Purley_, p. 595.
+
+He proceeds to show that _rack_ "is merely the past tense, and therefore
+past participle, [reac] or [rec], of the Anglo-Saxon verb Recan,
+_exhalare_, to _reek_;" and although the advocates of its being a
+particular description of light cloud refer to him as an authority for
+their reading, he treats it throughout generally as "a vapour, a steam, or
+an exhalation." But Horne Tooke, in his zeal as an etymologist, forgot
+altogether to attend to the construction of the passage. What is it that
+shall "leave not a rack behind?" A rack of what? Not of the baseless fabric
+of this vision, like which the "cloud-capp'd towers shall dissolve,"--not
+of this insubstantial pageant, like which they shall have faded,--but of
+"the cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the
+great globe itself." There is in fact a double comparison; but the
+construction and the meaning are perfectly clear, and no word will suit the
+passage but one that shall express a result common {219} to the different
+objects enumerated. A cloud may be a fit object for comparison, but it is
+utterly inconsequential; while the sense required can only be expressed by
+a general term, such as _remains_, a _vestige_, or a _trace_.
+
+I beg now to transcribe a note Of Mr. Collier's on this passage:--
+
+    "'Rack' is vapour, from _reck_, as Horne Tooke showed; and the light
+    clouds on the face of heaven are the 'rack,' or vapour from the earth.
+    The word 'rack' was often used in this way."--Coll. _Shaksp._, vol. i.
+    p. 70.
+
+Mr. Knight appears to incline to the same view; and regarding these as the
+two latest authorities, and finding in neither of them any reference to the
+question of construction, I naturally concluded that the point had been
+overlooked by the commentators. On reference, however, I found to my
+surprise, that Malone, for the very same reasons, had come to the same
+conclusion. Had Malone's argument been briefly stated by the "two latest
+and best editors," I should, of course, have had no occasion to trouble you
+with this note: and this instance, it appears to me, furnishes additional
+reasons for enforcing the principle for which I am contending; the neglect
+of it affecting, in however slight a degree, the sense or correctness of so
+important and frequently quoted a passage. For my own part, I should have
+thought that the commonest faith in Shakspeare would have protected any
+editor, whose avowed object it was to restore the text, from preferring in
+this instance, to the plain common sense of Malone, the more showy
+authority of Horne Tooke.
+
+In my last paper I wrote,--"So far as quantity is concerned, to eat a
+crocodile would be _no_ more than to eat an ox." You have omitted the
+negative.

+ANCIENT INEDITED POEMS, NO. III.
+
+In my last communication on this subject, I forgot to remark on the strange
+title given to the monody on Mr. Browne. May I ask if the name of "Chorus"
+was thus indiscriminately applied at the time when the poem was composed?
+
+The next poem that I shall give is copied from _Harleian MSS._, 367., art.
+60., fol. 158. It is entitled--
+
+     "A VERTUOUS WOMAN.
+
+ "When painted vice fils upp the rimes
+  Of these our last depraued times:
+  And soe much lust by wanton layes
+  Disperséd is; that beautie strayes
+  Into darke corners wheere vnseen,                              5
+  Too many sadd berefts haue been.
+  Aduance my muse to blaze[1] that face
+  Wheere beautie sits enthroand in grace.
+  The eye though bright, and quicke to moue,
+  Daignes not a cast to wanton loue.                            10
+  A comely ffront not husht in hayre,
+  Nor face be-patcht to make it fayre.
+  The lipps and cheekes though seemely redd,
+  Doe blush afresh if by them fedd.
+  Some wanton youthes doe gaze too much                         15
+  Though naked breasts are hidd from touch.
+  When due salutes are past, they shunn
+  A seconde kisse: yea, half vndone
+  Shee thinkes herselfe, when wantons praise
+  Her hande or face with such loose phraise                     20
+  As they haue learnt at acts and scenes,
+  Noe hand in hand with them shee meenes,
+  Shall giue them boldnes to embalme,
+  Ther filthie fist in her chast palme.
+  Her pretious honners overlookes,                              25
+  At her retires the best of bookes.
+  Whatsoeuer else shee doth forget
+  Noe busines shall her prayers[2] let.
+  Those that bee good, shee prizes most,
+  Noe time with them shee counteth lost.                        30
+  Her chast delights, her mind, aduance
+  Above Lot-games or mixéd dance.
+  Shee cares not for an enterlude,
+  Or idly will one day conclude.
+  The looser toungs that filth disclose                         35
+  Are graueolencie to her nose.
+  But when a vertuous man shall court
+  Her virgin thoughts in nuptiall sort:
+  Her faire depor[t]ment, neyther coy
+  Nor yet too forward, fits his ioy,                            40
+  And giues his kisses leaue to seale
+  On her fayre hand his faythfull zeale.
+  Blest is his conquest in her loue,
+  With her alone death cann remoue.
+  And if before shee did adorne                                 45
+  Her parents' howse, the cheerefull morne
+  Reioyceth now at this blest payre,
+  To see a wife soe chast soe fayre.
+  They happy liue; and know noe smart
+  Of base suspects or iealous heart;                            50
+  And if the publike bredd noe feare,
+  Nor sadd alarms did fill ther care,
+  From goodnes flowes ther ioy soe cleere
+  As grace beginnes ther heauen heere."
+
+The poem has no subscription, nor, from the appearance of the paper, should
+I say there had been one. The comparatively modern phraseology points to a
+late era. The poem is bound up with a quantity of John Stowe's papers, and
+I think is in his handwriting, upon comparing it with other papers known to
+be his in the same book. As it is my chief object (next to contributing to
+the preservation and publication of these ancient ballads) to obtain data
+regarding the anonymous productions of the earlier days of England's
+literature, any remarks, allow me to say, that other contributors will
+favour our {220} medium of intercommunication with, will be much
+appreciated by
+
+KENNETH R. H. MACKENZIE.
+
+    [Our correspondent is certainly mistaken in supposing this poem to be
+    in Stowe's handwriting. We have the best possible authority for
+    assuring him that it is not.]

+FOLK LORE.
+
+_Moths called Souls._--While I am upon this subject, I may as well mention
+that in Yorkshire the country-people used in my youth, and perhaps do
+still, call night-flying white moths, especially the _Hepialus humuli_,
+which feeds, while in the grub state, on the roots of docks and other
+coarse plants, "souls." Have we not in all this a remnant of "Psyche?"
+
+F. S.
+
+    [This latter paragraph furnishes a remarkable coincidence with the
+    tradition from the neighbourhood of Truro (recorded by MR. THOMS in his
+    Folk lore of Shakspeare, _Athenæum_ (No. 1041.) Oct. 9. 1847) which
+    gives the name of _Piskeys_ both to the _fairies_ and to _moths_, which
+    are believed by many to be _departed souls_.]
+
+_Holy Water for the Hooping Cough_ (vol. iii., p. 179.).--In one of the
+principal towns of Yorkshire, half a century ago, it was the practice for
+persons in a respectable class of life to take their children, when
+afflicted with the hooping cough, to a neighbouring convent, where the
+priest allowed them to drink a small quantity of holy water out of a silver
+chalice, which the little sufferers were strictly forbidden to touch. By
+Protestant, as well as Roman Catholic parents, this was regarded as a
+remedy. Is not the superstition analogous to that noticed by MR. WAY?

+
+_Daffy Down Dilly._--At this season, when the early spring flowers are
+showing themselves, we hear the village children repeating these lines:--
+
+ "Daff a down dill has now come to town,
+  In a yellow petticoat and a green gown."
+
+Does not this nursery rhyme throw light upon the character of the royal
+visitor alluded to in the snail charm recorded by F. J. H. (p. 179.)?

+
+DR. MAITLAND'S ILLUSTRATIONS AND ENQUIRIES RELATING TO MESMERISM.
+
+I know more than one person who would second the request that I am about to
+make through "NOTES AND QUERIES" to DR. MAITLAND, that he would publish the
+remaining parts of his _Illustrations and Enquiries relating to Mesmerism_:
+he would do so, I know, at once, if he thought that anybody would benefit
+by them; and I can bear witness to Part I. as having been already of some
+use. It is high time that Christians should be decided as to whether or no
+they may meddle with the fearful power whose existence is is impossible to
+ridicule any longer. DR. MAITLAND has suggested the true course of thought
+upon the subject, and promised to lead us along it; but it is impossible at
+present to use anything that he has said, on account of its incompleteness.
+In tracing the subject through history, DR. MAITLAND would no doubt mention
+the "[Greek: Omphalopsuchoi], or Umbilicani," of the fourteenth century,
+whose practices make a page (609.) of Waddington's _History of the Church_
+read like a sketch of Middle-age Mesmerism, contemptuously given. Also, in
+Washington Irving's _Life of Mahomet_, a belief somewhat similar to theirs
+is stated to have been preached in the seventh century (_Bohn's Reprint in
+Shilling Series_, p. 191.) by a certain Moseïlma, a false prophet.
+
+I may add that Miss Martineau's new book, _Letters of the Development of
+Man's Nature, by Atkinson and Martineau_, which cannot be called sceptical,
+for its unbelief is unhesitating, is the immediate cause of my writing
+to-day.

+_Original Warrant._--The following warrant from the original in the

+
+    "Forasmuch as S^r John Payton, Knight, Lieutenant of the Tower, hath
+    heretofore receaved a warrant from the Lls. of the counsell, by her

+    Tower, to Framingham Castle, and for that, since then, it is thought
+    more convenient, that he be removed to the Clincke--Theise therefore
+    shalbe to require now (sic) to enlarge him of his imprisonment in the
+    Tower, and to deliver him prisoner into the hands of the L. Bishop of

+_Snail-eating_ (Vol. iii., p. 207.).--Your correspondent C. W. B. does not
+seem to be aware that "a ragout of boror (snails)" is a regular dish with
+English _gypsies_. Vide Borrow's _Zincali_, part i. c. v.
+
+He has clearly not read Mr. Borrow's remarks on the subject:
+
+    "Know then, O Gentile, whether thou be from the land of Gorgios
+    (England), or the Busné (Spain), that the very gypsies, who consider a
+    ragout of snails a delicious dish, will not touch an eel because it
+    bears a resemblance to a snake; and that those who will feast on a
+    roasted hedgehog could be induced by no money to taste a squirrel!"
+
+Having tasted of roasted hotchiwitchu (hedgehog) myself among the "gentle
+Rommanys," I can bear witness to its delicate fatness; and though a ragout
+of snails was never offered for my acceptance, I do not think that those
+who consider (as most "Gorgios" do) stewed eels a delicacy ought to be too
+sever on "Limacotrophists!"
+
+HERMES.
+
+_Snail-eating._--Perhaps you will permit me to remark, in reference to the
+communication of C. W. B., that snails are taken medicinally occasionally,
+and are supposed to be extremely strengthening. I have known them eagerly
+sought after for the meal of a consumptive patient. As a matter of taste,
+too, they are by {222} some considered quite epicurean. A gentleman whom I
+used to know, was in the constant habit as he passed through the fields, of
+picking up the white slugs that lay in his way, and swallowing them with
+more relish than he would have done had they been oysters.
+
+That snails make a no inconsiderable item in the bill of fare of gypsies,
+and other wanderers, I proved while at Oxford, some time ago; for passing
+up Shotover Hill, in the parish of Headington, I unexpectedly came upon a
+camp of gypsies who were seated round a wood fire enjoying their Sunday's
+dinner: this consisted of a considerable number of large snails roasted on
+the embers, and potatoes similarly cooked. On inquiry, I was told by those
+who were enjoying their repast, that they were extremely good, and were
+much liked by people of their class, who made a constant practice of eating
+them. I need hardly say that I received a most hospitable invitation to
+join in the feast, which I certainly declined.

+
+HENRY SMITH.
+
+In Marsden's _History of the Early Puritans_ (a work recently published,
+which will well repay perusal) there occurs (pp. 178, 179.) the following
+notice of Henry Smith:--
+
+    "Henry Smith was a person of good family, and well connected; but
+    having some scruples, he declined preferment, and aspired to nothing
+    higher than the weekly Lectureship of St. Clement Danes. On a complaint
+    made by Bishop Aylmer, Whitgift suspended him, and silenced for a while
+    probably the most eloquent preacher in Europe. His contemporaries named
+    him the Chrysostom of England. His church was crowded to excess; and
+    amongst his hearers, persons of the highest rank, and those of the most
+    cultivated and fastidious judgment, were content to stand in the throng
+    of citizens. His sermons and treatises were soon to be found in the
+    hands of every person of taste and piety: they passed through
+    numberless editions. Some of them were carried abroad, and translated
+    into Latin. They were still admired and read at the close of nearly a
+    century, when Fuller collected and republished them. Probably the prose
+    writing of this, the richest period of genuine English literature,
+    contains nothing finer than some of his sermons. They are free, to an
+    astonishing degree, from the besetting vices of his age--vulgarity, and
+    quaintness, and affected learning; and he was one of the first English
+    preachers who, without submitting to the trammels of a pedantic logic,
+    conveyed in language nervous, pure, and beautiful, the most convincing
+    arguments in the most lucid order, and made them the ground-work of
+    fervent and impassioned addresses to the conscience."
+
+Would it not be desirable, as well in a literary as a theological point of
+view, that any extant sermons of so renowned a divine should be made
+accessible to general readers? At present they are too rare and expensive
+to be largely useful. A brief _Narrative of the Life and Death of Mr. Henry
+Smith_ (as it is for substance related by Mr. Thomas Fuller in his _Church
+History_), which is prefixed to an old edition (1643) of his sermons in my
+possession, concludes in these words:--
+
+    "The wonder of this excellent man's worth is increased by the
+    consideration of his tender age, he dying very young (of a consumption
+    as it is conceived) above fifty years since, about Anno 1600."

+Minor Queries.
+
+_Owen Glendower._--Some of your Cambrian correspondents might, through your
+columns, supply a curious and interesting desideratum in historical
+genealogy, by contributing a pedigree, authenticated as far as practicable
+by dates and authorities, and including collaterals, of OWEN GLENDOWER,
+from his ancestor Griffith Maelor, Lord of Bromfield, son of Madoc, last
+Prince of Powys, to the extinction of Owen's male line.
+
+All Cambrian authorities are, I believe, agreed in attributing to Owen the
+lineal male representation of the sovereigns of Powys; but I am not aware
+that there is any printed pedigree establishing in detail, on authentic
+date, his descent, and that of the collaterals of his line; while
+uncertainty would seem to exist as to one of the links in the chain of
+deduction, as to the fate of his sons and their descendants, if any, as
+well as to the marriages and representatives of more than one of his
+daughters.
+
+I have in vain looked for the particulars I have indicated in Yorke's
+_Royal Tribes of Wales_; in the _Welsh Heraldic Visitation Pedigrees_,
+lately published by the Welsh MSS. Society, under the learned editorship of
+the late Sir Samuel Meyrick; and in the valuable contributions to the
+genealogy of the Principality to be found in the _Landed Gentry_ and the
+_Peerage and Baronetage_ of Mr. Burke,--a pedigree, in other respects
+admirable, in the _Landed Gentry_ of a branch of the dynasty of Powys,
+omitting the intermediate descents in question.
+
+S. M.
+
+_Meaning of Gig-Hill._--Can any of your readers favour me with an
+explanation of the following matter in local topography? There are two
+places in the neighbourhood of Kingston-on-Thames distinguished by the name
+of _Gig-Hill_[3], although there is no indication of anything in the land
+to warrant the name.
+
+{223}
+
+Are there any instances to be met with where the place of punishment by the
+stocks or pillory in olden times, was known by that name?
+
+There was a king of Brittany who resigned his crown, and obtained the
+honours of canonisation as Saint Giguel, in the seventh century. St. Giles,
+who died about the sixth century, might, perhaps, have had some connexion
+with those who are traditionally believed to have been punished on the
+spot; that is, if we judge by his clients, who locate themselves under the
+sanctity of his name as a "Guild" or fraternity in London.
+
+There is, however, a curious use by Shakspeare of the word gig. It occurs
+in _Love's Labour's Lost_, Act V. Sc. I.:
+
+Holofernes says,
+
+    "What is the figure?"
+
+    _Moth._ Horns.
+
+    _Holofernes._ Thou disputest like an infant. Go, whip thy gig."
+
+I submit this matter, as local names have often their origin in religious
+associations or in proverbial philosophy.
+
+It has been suggested that _giggle_, as a mark of the derision to which the
+culprit was exposed, might so become corrupted.
+
+If the term be connected with the punishment, it would be, doubtless, one
+of general application. The smallest contribution will be thankfully
+received.

+_Sir John Vaughan._--In the patent under which the barony of Hamilton of

+the second year of the reign of George I., to Gustavus Hamilton, he is
+described as son of Sir Frederick Hamilton, Knt., by Sidney, daughter and
+heiress of Sir John Vaughan, Knt.; and that the said Dame Sidney Hamilton
+was descended from an honourable line of ancestors, one of whom, Sir Will
+Sidney, was Chamberlain to Henry II., another of the same name Comptroller
+of the Household to Henry VIII., &c., &c.
+
+Can any of your genealogical friends inform me who the above-named Sir John
+Vaughan married, and in what way she was connected with the Sidneys of
+Penshurst, as the pedigree given by Collins contains no mention of any such
+marriage?
+
+The arms of Sir John Vaughan, which appear quartered with those of Hamilton
+and Arran in the margin of the grant, are,--Argent, a chevron sable between
+three infants' heads coupled at the shoulders, each entwined round the neck
+with a snake, all proper, thereby intimating his descent from the Vaughans
+of Porthaml Trêtower, &c., in the county of Brecon.

+_A Monumental Inscription._--Near the chancel door of the parish-church of
+Wath-upon-Dearne, in Yorkshire, is an upright slab inscribed to the memory
+of William Burroughs. After stating that he was of Masbro', gentleman, and
+that he died in the year 1722, the monument contains the two following
+hexameters:--
+
+ "Burgus in hoc tumulo nunc, Orthodoxus Itermus,
+  Deposuit cineres, animam revocabit Olympus."
+
+The meaning of all which is obvious, except of the words "Orthodoxus
+Itermus:" and I should be glad to have this unscanning doggrel translated.
+It has been conjectured that _Itermus_ must be derived from _iter_, and
+hence that Burroughs may have been a _traveller_, or possibly _an orthodox
+itinerant preacher_: surely there can be no punning reference to _a
+journeyman_! The lines have been submitted, in vain, to some high literati
+in Oxford.

+    draw forth. And the like doe soft showers; for they also make the
+    ground sweet. But none are so delicate as the Dew of the Raine Bow,
+    where it falleth. It may be also that the water itself hath some
+    sweetnesse: for the Raine Bow consisteth of a glomeration of small
+    drops which cannot possibly fall but from the Aire that is very low.

+
+    [Baronets are not entitled, _as such_, to bear supporters, which are

+_Answer to Fisher's Relation._--I have a work published at London by Adam

+
+    "An Answere to Mr. Fisher's Relation of a Third {225} Conference
+    betweene a certaine B. (as he stiles him) and himselfe. The conference

+
+_Drink up Eisell_ (Vol. iii., p. 119.).--Here is a passage in _Troilus and

+ "He, like a puling cuckold, would _drink up_
+  The lees and _dregs_ of a flat-tamed piece."
+
+The meaning is plainly here _avaler_, not _boire_.

+    vol. ii. p. 263., after quoting "potions of eysell" from the sonnet,
+    says, "This shows it was not any river so called, but some desperate
+    drink. The word occurs often in a sense in which _acetum_ is the best
+    representative, associated with verjuice and vinegar. It is the term
+    used for one ingredient of the bitter potion given to our Saviour on
+    the cross, about the composition of which the commentators are greatly
+    divided. Thus the eighth prayer of the Fifteen Oos in the _Salisbury
+    Primer_, 1555, begins thus: 'O Blessed Jesu, sweetness of heart and
+    ghostly pleasure of souls, I beseech thee for the bitterness of the
+    _aysell_ and gall that thou tasted and suffered for me in thy passion,'
+    &c."
+
+    Since the above was written, we have received a communication from _An
+    English Mother_ with the words and _music_ of the nursery song, showing

+    _up_;" quoting from Haldorson's _Icelandic Lexicon_, Eysill, m.
+    Haustrum en Ose allsa; and asking what if Shakspeare meant either a
+    pump or a bucket? We have also received a Note from G. F. G. showing
+    that _eisel_ in Dutch, German, and Anglo-Saxon, &c., meant _vinegar_,
+    and stating, that during his residence in Florence in 1817, 1818, and
+    1819, he had often met with wormwood wine at the table of the Italians,

+SCANDAL AGAINST QUEEN ELIZABETH.

+(Vol. ii., p. 393.; Vol. iii., pp. 11. 151. 197.)
+
+The Marquis of Ormonde having been informed that certain statements, little
+complimentary to the reputation of Queen Elizabeth, and equally
+discreditable to the name of his ancestor, Thomas, Earl of Ormonde, have
+appeared in "NOTES AND QUERIES," wherein it is stated "that the Ormonde
+family possess documents which afford proof of this," begs to assure the
+editor of the journal in question, that the Ormonde collection of papers,
+&c. contains nothing that bears the slightest reference to the very
+calumnious attack on the character of good Queen Bess.

+
+    [If the Marquis of Ormonde will do us the favour to refer to our Number
+    for the 8th March (No. 71.), he will find he has not been correctly

+    states himself to be "connected;" and we hope J. BS. will, in justice

+J. BS. says papers are "said to exist in the family which prove the

+THE MISTLETOE ON THE OAK.
+
+(Vol. ii., pp. 163. 214.; Vol. iii., p. 192.)
+
+From having been a diligent searcher for the mistletoe on the oak, I may be
+allowed to make a few remarks upon the question. Is it ever found now on
+other trees? Now, it not only occurs abundantly on other trees, but it is
+exceedingly rare on the oak. This may be gathered from the following list,
+in which numbers have been used to express comparative frequency, as near
+as my observations enable me to form a judgment:--
+
+  _On Native Trees._
+
+  Apple (various sorts)                                         25
+  Poplar (mostly the black)                                     20
+  Whitethorn                                                    10

+  Maple                                                          3
+  Willow                                                         2
+  OAK                                                            1
+
+  _On Foreign Trees._
+
+  Sycamore                                                       1
+  Robinia                                                        1
+
+From this it would appear that notwithstanding the BRITISH OAK grows
+everywhere, it is at present only favoured by the companionship of the
+mistletoe in equal ratio with two comparatively recently introduced trees.
+Indeed such objection does this parasite manifest to the brave old tree,
+even in his teens, that, notwithstanding a newly-planted line of mixed
+trees will become speedily attacked by it, the oak is certain to be left in
+his pride alone.
+
+I have, however, seen the mistletoe on the oak in two instances during my
+much wandering about amid country scenes, especially of Gloucester and
+Worcester, two great mistletoe counties. One was pointed out to me by my
+friend, Mr. Lees, from whom we may expect much valuable information on this
+subject, in his forthcoming edition of the _Botanical Looker-out_--it was
+on a young tree, perhaps of fifty years, in Eastnor Park, on the Malvern
+chain. The other example is at Frampton-on-Severn, to which the President
+of the Cotteswold Naturalists' Club, T. B. L. Baker, Esq., and myself, were
+taken by Mr. Clifford, of Frampton. The tree is full a century old, and the
+branch, on which was a goodly bunch of the parasite, numbered somewhere
+about forty years. That the plant is propagated by seeds there can, I
+think, be but little doubt, as the seeds are so admirably adapted for the
+peculiar circumstances under which alone they can propagate; and the want
+of attention to the facts connected therewith, is probably the cause why
+the propagation of the mistletoe by artificial means is usually a failure.
+
+I should be inclined to think that the mistletoe never was abundant on the
+oak; so that it may be that additional sanctity was conferred on the
+_Viscum guerneum_ on account of its great rarity.

+UNIVERSALITY OF THE MAXIM, "LAVORA COME SE TU," ETC.
+
+(Vol. iii., p. 188.)
+
+I have not been able to trace this sentence to its source, but it would
+most probably be found in that admirable book, _Monosinii Floris Italicæ
+Linguæ_, 4to, Venet., 1604; or in Torriano's _Dictionary of Italian
+Proverbs and Phrases_, folio, Lond., 1666, a book of which Duplessis doubts
+the existence! Most of Jeremy Taylor's citations from the Italian are
+proverbial phrases. Your correspondent has probably copied the phrase as it
+stands in Bohn's edition of the _Holy Living and Dying_, but there is a
+trifling variation as it stands in the first edition of _Holy Living_,
+1650:--
+
+ "Lavora come se tu _havesti_ a campar ogni hora:
+  Adora come se tu _havesti_ a morir _alhora_."
+
+The universality of this maxim, in ages and countries remote from each
+other, is remarkable. Thus we find it in the HITOPADÉSA:
+
+    "A wise man should think upon knowledge and wealth as if he were
+    undecaying and immortal. He should practise duty as if he were seized
+    by the hair of his head by Death."--Johnson's _Translation_, Intr. S.
+
+So Democratis of Abdera, more sententiously:
+
+    "[Greek: Houtos peirô zên, hôs kai oligon kai polun chronon
+    biôsomenos]."
+
+Then descending to the fifteenth century, we {227} have it thus in the racy
+old Saxon _Laine Doctrinal_:
+
+ "Men schal leven, unde darumme sorgen,
+  Alse men Stärven sholde morgen,
+  Unde leren êrnst liken,
+  Alse men leven sholde ewigliken."
+
+Where the author of the _Voyage autour de ma Chambre_, Jean Xavier Maitre,
+stumbled upon it, or whether it was a spontaneous thought, does not appear;
+but in his pleasing little book, _Lettres sur la Vieillesse_, we have it
+thus verbatim:
+
+    "Il faut vivre comme si l'on avoit à mourir demain, mais s'arranger en
+    même temps sa vie, autant que cet arrangement peut dépendre de notre
+    prévoyance, comme si l'on avoit devant soi quelques siècles, et même
+    une éternité d'existence."
+
+Some of your correspondents may possibly be able to indicate other
+repetitions of this truly "golden sentence," which cannot be too often
+repeated, for we all know that
+
+ "A verse may reach him who a sermon flies."

+_Tennyson's In Memoriam_ (Vol. iii., p. 142.).--
+
+ "Before the crimson-circled star

+
+means "before the planet Venus had sunk into the sea."
+
+In Smith's _Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology_, under
+the word Aphrodite or Venus, we find that--
+
+    "Some traditions stated that she had sprung from the foam ([Greek:
+    aphros]) of the sea which had gathered around the mutilated parts of
+    Uranus, that had been thrown into the sea by Kronos, after he had
+    unmanned his father."--Hesiod. _Theog._ 190.
+
+The allusion in the first stanza of _In Memoriam_ is, I think, to Shelley.
+The doctrine referred to is common to him and many other poets; but he
+perhaps inculcates it more frequently than any other. (See _Queen Mab_ sub

+_Tennyson's In Memoriam._--The word _star_ applies in poetry to all the

+of the sky about sunset; and the sun may, figuratively, be called _father_
+of the moon, because he dispenses to her all the light with which she
+shines; and, moreover, because _new_, or waxing moons, must _set_ nearly in
+the same point of the horizon as the sun; and because that point of the
+horizon in which a heavenly body sets, may, figuratively, be called its
+_grave_; therefore, I believe the last two lines of the stanza of the poem
+numbered lxxxvii., or 87, in Tennyson's _In Memoriam_, quoted by W. B. H.,

+_Head of the Saviour_ (Vol. iii., p. 168.).--The correspondent who inquires

+St. Peter's at Rome a much more precious and genuine portrait than the one
+to which he alludes--a likeness described by its possessors as "far more
+sublime and venerable than any other, since it was neither painted by the
+hands of men nor angels, but by the divinity himself who makes both men and
+angels." It is not delineated upon wood or canvass, ivory, glass, or
+stucco, but upon "a pocket handkerchief lent him by a holy woman named
+Veronica, to wipe his face upon at the crucifixion" (Aringhi, _Roma
+Subterran._, vol. ii. p. 543.). When the handkerchief was returned it had
+this genuine portrait imprinted on its surface. It is now one of the
+holiest of relics preserved in the Vatican basilica, where there is
+likewise a magnificent altar constructed by Urban VIII., with an
+inscription commemorating the fact, a mosaic above, illustrative of the
+event, and a statue of the holy female who received the gift, and who is
+very properly inscribed in the Roman catalogue of saints under the title of
+ST. VERONICA. All this is supported by "pious tradition," and attested by
+authorities of equal value to those which establish the identity of St.
+Peter's chair. The only difficulty in the matter lies in this, that the
+woman Veronica never had any corporeal existence, being no other than the
+name by which the picture itself was once designated, viz., the VERA ICON,
+or "True Image" (Mabillon, _Iter. Ital._, p. 88.). This narrative will

+to the above, with the following attached:--
+
+    "This present figure is the similitude of our Lord [=IHV], oure Saviour

+    to the Pope Innosent the 8. at the cost of the greate turke for a token
+    for this cawse, to redeme his brother that was taken presonor."
+
+This was painted on board. The Rev. Thomas Thurlow, of Baynard's Park,
+Guildford, has another painted on board with a like inscription, to the
+best of my recollection: his has a date on it, I think.
+
+Pope Innocent VIII. was created Pope in 1484, and died in 1492.

+The variation in the three effigies is an argument against the truth of the

+be correct. We all know how prone foreigners are to misapprehension, and
+therefore, how unsafe it is to trust to their observations. In this case,
+may not the description of the _Bibliothèque Publique_, which was open
+night and morning, during the sittings of the courts of justice, have
+originated merely from the rows of booksellers' stalls in Westminster-hall?

+
+_The Ten Commandments_ (Vol. iii., p. 166.).--Waterland (vol. vi. p. 242.,
+2nd edition, Oxford, 1843) gives a copy of the Decalogue taken from an old
+MS. In this the first two commandments are embodied in one. Leighton, in
+his _Exposition of the Ten Commandments_, when speaking on the point of the
+manner of dividing them, refers in a vague manner to Josephus and Philo.

+_Sitting crosslegged to avert Evil_ (Vol. ii.,p. 407.).--Browne says:--
+
+    "To set crosselegg'd, or with our fingers pectinated or shut together,
+    is accounted bad, and friends will perswade us from it. The same
+    conceit religiously possessed the ancients, as is observable from
+    Pliny: 'Poplites alternis genibus imponere nefas olim;' and also from
+    Athenæus, that it was an old veneficious practice."--_Vulg. Err._, lib.

+
+_George Steevens_ (Vol. iii., p. 119.).--A. Z. wishes to know whether a
+memoir of George Steevens, the Shakspearian commentator, was ever
+published, and what has become of the manuscripts.
+
+I believe the late Sir James Allen Park wrote his life, but whether for
+public or private circulation I cannot tell.
+
+The late George Steevens had a relative, a Mrs. Collinson, and daughters
+who lived with him at Hampstead, and with him when he died, in Jan. 1800.
+Miss Collinson married a Mr. Pyecroft, whose death, I think, is in the
+_Gentleman's Magazine_ for this month: perhaps the Pyecroft family may give
+information respecting the manuscripts.
+
+    "The house he lived in at Hampstead, called the Upper Flask, was
+    formerly a place of public entertainment near the summit of Hampstead
+    Hill. Here Richardson sends his Clarissa in one of her escapes from
+    Lovelace. Here, too, the celebrated Kit-Cat Club used to meet in the
+    summer months; and here, after it became a private abode, the no less
+    celebrated George Steevens lived and died."--Vide Park's _Hampstead_,
+    pp. 250. 352.
+
+I just recollect Mr. Steevens, who was very kind to us, as children. My
+mother, who is an octogenarian, remembers him well, and says he always took
+a nosegay, tied to the top of his cane, every day to Sir Joseph Banks.

+_The Waistcoat bursted, &c._ (Vol. ii., p. 505.).--The general effect of
+melancholy: digestion is imperfectly performed, and melancholy patients
+generally complain of being "blown up." BODVAR'S "blowing up," on the
+contrary, is the mere effect of the generation of gases in a dead body,
+well illustrated by a floating dead dog on the river side, or the bursting
+of a leaden coffin.

+
+_Love's Labour's Lost_ (Vol. iii., p. 163.).--Your correspondent has very
+neatly and ably made out how the names of the ladies ought to have been
+placed; but the error is the poet's, not the printer's. It is impossible to
+conceive how, in printing or transcribing, such a mistake should arise; the
+names are quite unlike, and several lines distant from one another. Such
+forgetfulness is not very uncommon in poets, especially those of the
+quickest and liveliest spirit. It is the old mistake of Bentley and other
+commentators, to think that whatever is wrong must be spurious. These, too,
+we must recollect, are fictitious characters.

+NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.
+
+Agreeing with Mr. Lower, that they who desire to know the truth as to the
+earlier periods of our national history, will do wisely to search for it
+among the mists and shadows of antiquity, and rather collect it for
+themselves out of the monkish chronicles than accept the statements of
+popular historiographers, we receive with great satisfaction the addition
+to our present list of translations of such chronicles, which Mr. Lower has
+given us in _The Chronicle of Battel Abbey from 1066 to 1176, now first
+translated, with Notes, and an Abstract of the subsequent History of the
+Establishment_. The original Chronicle, which is preserved among the
+Cottonian MSS., though known to antiquaries and historians, was never
+committed to the press until the year 1846, when it was printed by the
+_Anglia Christiana Society_ from a transcript made by the late Mr. Petrie.
+Mr. Lower's translation has been made from that edition; and though
+undertaken by him as an illustration of local history, will be found well
+deserving the perusal of the general reader, not only from the light it
+throws upon the Norman invasion and upon the {231} history of the abbey
+founded by the Conqueror in fulfilment of his vow, but also for the
+pictures it exhibits of the state of society during the period which it
+embraces.
+
+BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Embarrassment of the Clergy in the Matter of Church
+Discipline._ Two ably written letters by Presbyter Anglicanus, reprinted,
+by request, from the _Morning Post_;--_Ann Ash, or the Foundling_, by the
+_Author of 'Charlie Burton' and 'The Broken Arm.'_ If not quite equal to
+_Charlie Burton_, and there are few children's stories which are so, it is
+a tale well calculated to sustain the writer's well-deserved
+reputation;--_Burns and his Biographers, being a Caveat to Cavillers, or an
+Earnest Endeavour to clear the Cant and Calumnies which, for half a
+Century, have clung, like Cobwebs, round the Tomb of Robert Burns._

+GILBERT'S COPIOUS SERIES OF PAMPHLETS on the ROMAN CATHOLIC QUESTION;
+containing Important Documents of Permanent Historical Interest having
+Reference to the Re-establishment of the CATHOLIC HIERARCHY IN ENGLAND,
+1850-1.
+
+The Editor of these Pamphlets deems it almost superfluous to dwell on the
+paramount importance of every respectable family possessing this volume of
+very special present and permanent interest. During the discussion of the
+exciting matters now at issue in this all-absorbing question, there can be
+no questioning the well-recognised fact that the possession of this copious
+and cheap volume is essential to every thoughtful and inquiring person in
+our beloved country. To enable those who are as yet unaware of the immense
+mass of interesting and important documents there are in its pages, AN
+INDEX OF ITS CONTENTS IS ISSUED FOR GRATUITOUS DISTRIBUTION--this will
+abundantly testify to the fact; and the Editor, in conclusion, thinks it
+only necessary to state that, with scarcely an exception, the whole of the
+documents are printed, verbatim, as they originally appeared, and in very
+numerous cases they have had the additional advantage of the direct and
+special revision of the authors.
+
+The Editor deems it necessary to state his conviction that all the
+important facts and documents relative to the "Roman Catholic Question"
+have appeared in the pages of these Pamphlets. Doubtless, during the
+progress of the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill through the houses of
+parliament many speeches of interest will be made; still the Editor thinks
+they will, to a considerable extent, be merely elaborations of the
+materials already in these pages, devoid of original facts or documents.
+Should, however, on the conclusion of the debates, the Editor's opinions
+undergo a change, he will issue the results in the form of an Appendix to
+the present volume.
+
+*** Any persons who may wish to possess the Series or sheet containing any
+specific article particularised in the Index, will be at liberty to
+purchase it separately, on One Penny or Three-half-pence each sheet
+respectively, or at one penny each extra post-free, through the Publisher.

+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

+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.
