It is in the possession of these conveniences -that the capabilities of typography, and its superiority over -manuscript, mainly consist. I propose now to set down a few remarks on -this subject, in the hope that any means, however trifling they may -seem, by which literary knowledge is rendered more commodious and -accessible, will not be deemed unworthy of attention by your readers. - -With regard to the form of printed letters, it is difficult to conceive -any improvement in modern typography, as practised in Italy, France, and -England. This is equally true of Roman and Greek characters. The Greek -types introduced by Porson leave nothing to be desired. The Germans -still to a great extent retain the old black-letter type for native -works, which was universal over all the north of Europe in the early -period of printing, and is not a _national_ type, as some persons seem -to imagine. These letters being imitated from the manuscript characters -of the fifteenth century, are essentially more indistinct than the Roman -type, and have for that reason been disused by the rest of Europe, -Holland and Denmark not excepted. In England this antiquated mode of -printing was long retained for law-books, and, till a comparatively -recent date, for the statutes. The Anglo-Saxon letters are in like -manner nothing but a barbarous imitation of old manuscript characters, -and have no real connexion with the Anglo-Saxon language. Their use -ought to be wholly abandoned (with the exception of those which are -wanting in modern English). Roman numerals, likewise, as being less -clear and concise than Arabic numerals, especially for large numbers, -ought to be discarded, except in cases where it is convenient to -distinguish the volume from the page, and the book from the chapter. -English lawyers, indeed, who in general have only occasion to cite the -volume and page, invariably make their quotations with Arabic figures, -by prefixing the number of the volume, and subjoining the number of the -page. Thus, if it were wished to refer to the 100th page of the second -volume of _Barnewall and Alderson's Reports_, they would write _2 B. & -C. 100_. Roman numerals are still retained for the sections of the -statutes. - -Akin to the retention of antiquated forms of letters is the retention of -antiquated orthography. Editors of works of the sixteenth and -seventeenth centuries sometimes retain the spelling of the period, of -which Evelyn's _Diary_ is an example; but this practise is unpleasant to -the modern reader, and sometimes, particularly in proper names, -perplexes and misleads him. The modern editions of the classical writers -of that period, such as Shakspeare, Bacon, Milton, Clarendon, &c., are -very properly reduced to the modern standard of orthography, as is done -by Italian editors with the works of Dante, Boccaccio, &c. The attempt -to introduce the native orthography of foreign proper names naturalised -in English, is likewise unsuccessful, and merely offends the eye of the -reader, without giving any real information. Mr. Lane and other -Orientalists will never succeed in banishing such forms as _vizier_, -_caliph_, _cadi_, &c., nor will even Mr. Grote's authority alter the -spelling of the well-known Greek names. Names of ancient persons and -places which are enshrined in the verses of Milton and other great -poets, cannot be altered. - -The old unmeaning practice of printing every noun substantive with a -capital letter (still retained in German) has been abandoned by every -English printer, except the printer of parliamentary papers for the -House of Lords. Proper names used to be printed in italics; and -generally, the use of italics was much greater than at present. In -modern reprints, these ancient flowers of typography ought to be -removed. The convenient edition of Hobbes' _Works_, for which we are -indebted to Sir W. Molesworth, would be more agreeable to read if the -italics were less abundant. - -The use of the folio and quarto size is now generally restricted to such -books as could scarcely be printed in octavo, as dictionaries and -similar books of reference. The parliamentary blue book, which long -resisted the progress of octave civilization, is now beginning to shrink -into a more manageable size. With regard to separate volumes, the most -convenient practice is to consider them as a mere printer's division, -which may vary in different editions; and to number them consecutively, -without reference to their contents. The Germans have a very -inconvenient practice of dividing a volume into parts, each of which is -a volume in the ordinary meaning of the word; so that a work consisting -of nine volumes, for example, may be divided into four volumes, one of -which consists of three parts, and the other three of two parts each. -The result is, that every reference must specify both the volume and the -part: thus, Band II. Abtheilung III. S. 108. Frequently, too, this mode -of numbering misleads the bookbinder, who (unless properly cautioned) -numbers the volumes in the ordinary manner. - -Volumes, as I have remarked, are merely a printer's division. Every -literary composition ought, however, to have an organic division of its -own. The early Greeks seem indeed to have composed both their poems and -prose works as one continuous discourse. The rhapsodies of Homer and the -muses of Herodotus were subsequent divisions introduced by editors and -grammarians. But literary experience pointed out the commodiousness of -such breaks in a long work; and the books of the _Æneid_ and of the -_History of Livy_ were the divisions of the authors themselves. Since -the invention of printing, the books of the prose works of the classical -writers have been subdivided into chapters; while for the books of -poems, as well as for the dramas, the verses have been numbered. The -books of the Old and New Testament have likewise been portioned into -chapters, and into a late typographical division of verses. - -In making a division of his work, an author ought to number its parts -consecutively, without reference to volumes. The novels of Walter Scott -are divided into chapters, the numbering of which is dependent on the -volume; so that it is impossible to quote them without referring to the -edition, or to find a reference to them in any other edition than that -cited. For the same reason, an author ought not to quote his own book in -the text by a reference to volumes. - -The division most convenient for purposes of reference is that which -renders a quotation simple to note, and easy to verify. Divisions which -run through an entire work (such as the chapters of Gibbon's _History_) -are easy to quote, and the quotation can be easily verified when the -chapter is not long. The numbering of paragraphs in one series through -an entire work, as in the French codes, in Cobbett's writings, and in -the state papers of the Indian government, is the simplest and most -effectual division for purposes of reference. The Digest can now be -referred to by book, title, and paragraph; nevertheless the Germans -(who, notwithstanding their vast experience in the work of quoting, seem -to have a predilection for cumbrous and antiquated methods) still adhere -to the old circuitous mode of quotation, against which Gibbon long ago -raised his voice (_Decl. and Fall_, c. 44. n. 1.). - -Some works have been divided by their authors into chapters, but the -chapters have been left unnumbered. Niebuhr's _Roman History_ is in this -state. - -The internal division of a work by its author is not, however, merely -for purposes of reference. It may likewise be a _logical_ division; it -may follow the distribution of the subject, and assist the reader by -visibly separating its several parts. This process, however, may be -carried so far as to defeat its purpose (viz. perspicuity of -arrangement) by the intricacy of its divisions. Here again we must -recur for an example to the Germans, who sometimes make the compartments -of their writings as numerous as a series of Chinese boxes all fitted -into each other. First, there is the part, then the book, then the -chapter, then the section, then the article, and then the paragraph, -which is itself subdivided into paragraphs with Roman numerals and -Arabic numerals; and these again are further subdivided into paragraphs -with Roman letters, and Greek letters, and sometimes Hebrew letters. To -refer to a work divided in this manner by any other means than the -volume and page, is a labour of as hopeless intricacy as it is to follow -the logical cascade down its successive platforms. - -It is a considerable convenience where the book or chapter is marked at -the head or margin of the page; and in histories, or historical memoirs, -chronological notation is very convenient. - -In general no book (not being a book arranged in alphabetical order, as -a dictionary, encyclopedia, &c.) ought to be printed without a _table of -contents_. The trouble to the author of making a table of contents is -very small, and the expense to the publisher in printing it is in -general imperceptible. Modern English books rarely sin in this respect; -foreign books, however, both French and German, are frequently wanting -in a table of contents. The invaluable collection of the fragments of -Greek historians lately published in Didot's Series--a work -indispensable to every critical student of ancient history--has no table -of contents, referring to the pages, prefixed to each volume. The _Poetæ -Scenici Græci_ of Dindorf is without a table of contents; and a similar -want is a serious drawback to the use of the cheap and portable edition -of the Greek and Latin classics published by Tauchnitz at Leipsic. - -Lastly, an _index_ adds materially to the value of every work which -contains numerous and miscellaneous facts. The preparation of a good -index is a laborious and sometimes costly task; the printing of it, -moreover, adds to the price of the book. Many of the indexes to the -English law-books are models of this species of labour; the indexes in -the Parliamentary Reports are likewise prepared with great care and -intelligence. Even a meagre index, however, is better than no index at -all; and where the publisher's means, and the demand for the book, do -not admit of the preparation of a copious index of subjects, an -alphabetical list of names of persons and places would often be an -acceptable present to the reader of an historical or scientific work. - - L. - - -CAXTON MEMORIAL. - -The inquiries addressed to me by Mr. BOLTON CORNEY in your paper of the -15th of November appear to amount to this:--Whether the whole or part of -the expense of his proposed volume will be defrayed out of the fund -appropriated to the Caxton Memorial? To this question, so far as my own -information extends, I can only give a negative reply. The Society of -Arts, in compliance with a request preferred to them by the subscribers -at their last meeting, have accepted the charge of the Caxton Fund; and -it is sufficient, for my present purpose, to state that negociations are -now in progress between the Council and the Dean and Chapter, for -liberty to erect a suitable memorial within the precincts of Westminster -to the memory of William Caxton. This is as it should be; the memorial, -be it what it may, statue, obelisk or fountain, or even a niche in a -wall, should be substantial and enduring, calculated to remind the -passing stranger that within the precincts of Westminster, William -Caxton first exercised in England the art of printing. This circumstance -forms one of those epochs in the history of civilisation which deserve -public commemoration; and any memorial of Caxton should be placed as -near as possible to the scene of his literary labours. - -Mr. BOLTON CORNEY says, that I seem to regard his project with somewhat -less of disfavour. Now I do not wish to be misunderstood. As a -substitute for the Caxton Memorial, originally proposed at the great -meeting over which the Earl of Carlisle presided, I am disposed to -reject it altogether, for reasons which I have already stated in your -columns. But as a literary undertaking I am willing to give it a fair -consideration upon its own merits. The apothegm that a man's best -monument consists in his own works, is capable of considerable -modification from the nature of the works themselves. In the case before -us, I believe the interest felt by the public in the works of Caxton to -be too limited to justify the republication of his collected works. The -proposal which Mr. CORNEY makes for a selection from those works, with a -new life of the author, and a glossary, the latter proving how much they -are out of date, is much more feasible than his original plan. There is -a Caxton Society which has already issued several publications, and -whose usefulness would be materially increased by such a publication as -that suggested by Mr. CORNEY, if the Society to which he alludes (the -Camden, I presume) should not be disposed to undertake it. The true -object of these and similar societies is the production of books of -interest and value, which are not sufficiently popular to justify a -bookseller, or an individual, in incurring the pecuniary risk of their -separate publication. Mr. CORNEY's literary memorial of Caxton appears -to me to come under this head, and as such might be properly undertaken -by any of the clubs or societies formed for the cultivation of early -English literature. He might perhaps more easily attain the object of -his wishes in this manner than by that which he has hitherto pursued. -When a selection is to be made from the works of any author, much will -depend upon the taste and discretion of the editor. Now I gather from -Mr. CORNEY's letter, that he is fully prepared to undertake that office -himself; and I may be permitted to add that his scrupulous accuracy and -unwearied diligence afford the best guarantee that the work will be -executed in such a manner as to fully satisfy the public interest in -Caxton, and to form a graceful and appropriate tribute to the -illustrious father of the English press. - - BERIAH BOTFIELD. - - Norton Hall, Jan. 3. 1852. - - -SETTLE'S FEMALE PRELATE, OR POPE JOAN; A TRAGEDY. - -I have not seen it anywhere noticed that this play, printed under -Elkanah Settle's name, with a long dedication by him to the Earl of -Shaftsbury, in 1680, 4to., was certainly a mere alteration of an old -play on the same subject. It is impossible for any one to read many -pages of it, without seeing everywhere traces of a much more powerful -hand than "poor Elkanah's," although he needed no assistance in managing -the ceremony of pope-burning. Take at random the following quotation, -which is much more like Middleton's or Decker's than the debased style -after the Restoration: - - "_Saxony._ And art thou then in earnest? - Come, prithee, speak: I was to blame to chide thee; - Be not afraid; speak but the fatal truth, - And by my hopes of heav'n I will forgive thee. - Out with it, come; now wouldst thou tell me all, - But art ashamed to own thyself a bawd: - 'Las, that might be thy father's fault, not thine. - Perhaps some honest humble cottage bred thee, - And thy ambitious parents, poorly proud, - For a gay coat made thee a page at court, - And for a plume of feathers sold thy soul; - But 'tis not yet, not yet too late to save it. - - _Amir._ Oh, my sad heart! - - _Sax._ Come, prithee, speak; let but - A true confession plead thy penitence, - And Heaven will then forgive thee as I do. - - _Amir._ But, Sir, can you resolve to lend an ear - To sounds so terrible, so full of fate, - As will not only act a single tragedy, - But even disjoint all Nature's harmony, - And quite untune the world? for such, such are - The notes that I must breathe. - - _Sax._ Oh, my dear murderer, - Breathe 'em as cheerfully as the soaring lark - Wakes the gay morn. Those dear sweet airs that kill me - Are my new nuptial songs. My Angeline - Has been my first, and Death's my second bride." - - _Fem. Prel._ p. 58. - -Or the following: - - "_Sax._ Carlo, she must die; - The softest heart that yon celestial fire - Could ever animate, must break and die. - We are both too wretched to outlive this day; - And I but send thee as her executioner. - - _Carlo._ I flie to obey you, Sir. - - _Sax._ Stay, Carlo, stay; - Why all this haste to murder so much innocence? - Yet, thou must go. And since thy tongue must kill - The brightest form th' enamoured stars can e'er - Receive, or the impoverisht world can lose. - Go, Carlo, go; but prithee wound her soul - As gently as thou canst; and when thou seest - A flowing shower from her twin-orbs of light - All drown the faded roses of her cheeks; - When thou beholdst, 'midst her distracted groans, - Her furious hand, that feeble, fair revenger, - Rend all the mangled beauties of her face. - Tear her bright locks, and their dishevell'd pride - On her pale neck, that ravisht whiteness, fall; - Guard, guard thy eyes: for, Carlo, 'tis a sight - Will strike spectators dead."--_Fem. Prel._ p. 61. - -In the _Biog. Dram._ (vol. iii. p. 237.), it is stated that the same -play, with the same title, was printed in 4to., 1689, except that it was -there said to be written by a person of quality. The play is, however, -claimed by Settle in his dedication to Lord Shaftsbury, prefixed to the -edition of 1680, now before me. I do not, however, believe he had more -to do with it than in adapting it, as he did _Philastes_, for -representation. The only question seems to be by whom the original play -was written? This I will not at present attempt to decide, though I -entertain a strong opinion on the subject, but will leave it to be -resolved by the critical acumen of your readers. - - JAS.

His -natural abilities and attainments, combined with political influence, -readily obtained for him, at an early age, the post of Procureur-Général -to the Parliament at Metz. But a dissolute life soon brought on its -consequent evils--duties neglected and discreditable debts--and he was -compelled to sell his appointment. The proceeds were insufficient, and -he had recourse to forgery to satisfy his creditors. To be successful in -such a case, more than ability is required. Le Noble was suspected, -arrested, confined in the Châtelet, and condemned to nine years' -imprisonment. Upon his appeal, he was removed to the Conciergerie, a -place destined to become another scene in his life of uniform villainy. -Gabrielle Perreau, known under the name of "La Belle Epicière," was -confined here at the instigation of her husband, who indulged in the -hope of thus reforming her disorderly conduct. But a prison is hardly a -school of reformation, and La Belle Epicière and Le Noble were not -characters to receive, even in monastic seclusion, any such impression. -He won her affections, or the mastery over her passions: the husband, -frantic with jealous rage, obtained for himself the satisfaction of -immuring her in a convent of his own selection. From this she escaped, -and joined Le Noble, who had similarly evaded the vigilance of his -keepers. By living in the vilest and least frequented quarters of Paris, -by disguises, false names, and constant changes of residence, they -succeeded in baffling the pursuit of the police for three years, when Le -Noble was accidentally discovered; the judgment of the Châtelet was -confirmed, and he was reconducted to prison. It was then that his great -resources were displayed. He retained his gaiety, and assured his -friends he still enjoyed "une parfaite tranquillité d'esprit, -inséparable de l'innocence!" A man of this kind, with a venal and -capacious intellect, and a heart utterly unconscious of the slightest -moral feeling, could not with advantage be suffered to remain -unemployed. There was work to be done for James II., and the hireling -was worthy of his hire. It was simply to lie and libel with ability, -with caution, with the appearance of loyalty, and an ardent zeal for -religion. Le Noble was equal to the task. He had written histories burnt -by the hangman; Bayle had praised him for his skill in judicial -astrology; he had composed treatises on money, and on Catholic doctrine; -compiled historical romances, and translated the Psalms of David! In -poetry he had attempted to rival La Fontaine; written the Eulogy of the -Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and translated Persius,--substituting -French customs for the Roman, and praising, or censuring, his -contemporaries as though he were the Roman poet and not the Paris -scribe! An ability so various was at least well paid. He received from -the booksellers, and others by whom he was retained, a hundred pistoles -a month; Peignot states, in all, about one hundred thousand crowns. -There cannot be the least doubt this was but a portion of his earnings, -or that the work I have described was not written for the Jacobite -interest of James II. But no success in such characters is ever -accompanied with prudence. Although the penalty of banishment from -France was suspended, that his venal abilities might assist the designs -of others, he was always living between luxury and the direst want. As -he advanced in years, he was less useful, and was consequently driven -from doors where he had formerly been welcomed. D'Argenson allowed him a -louis-d'or for charity per week; but all other resources failed, until, -in his sixty-eighth year, after a long period of misery, and of the -uttermost mental and bodily degradation, he died on the 31st January, -1711, and was buried at the communal expense. It cannot be denied that -Le Noble united many pleasing qualities as a writer. He had read much, -could condense ably, and united to a strong memory a rare facility in -employing its resources. He touched with light ridicule the weaker -points of a case, and could wield both reason, sarcasm and polished -inuenda in misstating facts, or damaging the argument of his -adversaries. Such a man was well adapted to the French advisers of -James. Public attention was to be engaged and won by falsehoods in the -disguise of truth; bad designs were to be cloaked under moral purposes; -and the revolution was to be discredited in the name of loyalty and -religion. All this Le Noble did with infinite ability, and infinite -obliquity. I can give but a slight sketch of his work. The _Couronnement -de Guillemot_ is a violent tirade against William. Marforio and Pasquin -converse about his coronation, and the king is described as one "qui -vouloit estre le bourreau du Prince de Galles." Churchill is "l'infame -comblé de tant de bienfaitz par son bon maître, et qui l'a vendu, trahi -et livré." In the decorations of the abbey, consisting of tapestry, &c., -there is stated to be a representation of Pilate placing Jesus Christ -and Barabbas before the people, and the choice of Barabbas by the -latter; James occupying, in Le Noble's opinion, the place of the former. -The people he describes as preferring even "ce voleur public, ce -scélérat, ce séditieux de Barabbas, ce meurtrier qui a poignardé les -_Withs_ (Witts), à cet aimable maistre qui n'a jamais eu pour eux que de -la douceur et de la bonté." The _Sermon du grand Docteur Burnet_ is very -clever, light, pungent, and satirical, especially against the king: the -text being "Dominus regnavit, exultet terræ, lætentur insulæ." In the -_L'Ombre de Monmouth_, William is described as wishing to be "le singe -du glorieux Cromwell;" Portland, Shrewsbury, Burnet, and Dykvelt, are -"ses quatre Evangélistes;" and the king is made to utter violent -complaints against the Parliament, which he calls "une étrange beste," -and adds: "Si je n'avois pas cassé celui que j'ai rompu pour en -convoquer un autre, toutes mes affaires s'en alloient sens dessus -dessous." In the _Estrennes d'Esope_, which was burnt by order of the -States-General, there is the following description of England: - - "L'Angleterre sous son Roi légitime et ne lui donnant qu'avec - epargne comme elle faisoit le nécessaire pour son entretien, - estoit justement comme ces sages et vertueuses femmes qui, fidèles - à leurs époux, gouvernen avec un prudent économie leur ménage - reglé, et cette mesme Angleterre, qui s'épuise pour satisfaire à - l'avidité d'un tyran, est aujourd'hui comme une de ces infames - debauchées qui, emportée de fureur pour une adultère qui l'enlève - à son mari, lui fait une profusion criminelle de son bien." - -In illustrations such as these, Le Noble was most happy, as with the -vice he was most familiar. The length of this paper precludes my sending -to you a pasquinade, in the epitaph written for Innocent XI., which, -considering its purport, is of value as indicating the opinions of the -Jacobites against the policy of the Pope. This I will do in another -paper. - - S. H. - - -CALAMITIES OF AUTHORS. - -The miseries and disappointments of the literary life are proverbial: - - "Toil, envy, want, the patron and the gaol." - -To these "calamities of authors," I wish to add a new, and as yet -unrecorded trial, incidental to this age of cheap postage and -extravagant puffs. I am myself _a small author_, and have written on -theology and antiquarianism; and my publisher's shelves know the weight -of my labours. Conceive then my delight, a few weeks ago, at receiving a -"confidential" letter from B. D., requesting the immediate transmission -of my theological tomes to a country address; on the representation -that, although B. D. well knew that my writings had been favourably -received, he judged that "striking recommendations at this moment in -influential journals to which he had reviewing access during the -parliamentary recess, would prove of essential service." I wrote to my -publisher, who coolly answered that it was "no go;" and I even stood the -tempting shock of a second application from B. D., remonstratively -hinting that, but for the non-arrival of the volumes, a notice would -have appeared that very week in an "important quarter." The hopeful mind -has difficulty in settling down into a belief that men deceive. - -Not a month had elapsed before I received another letter, sealed with -such a signet as in size would rival the jewel sometimes seen pendent -from the waistcoat pocket of a Jew broker on Saturday, and engraven with -evidence of illustrious lineage, if quarterings be only half true. I did -not break this magnificent seal, but I tore open the envelope, and I -found that my antiquarian researches had been most flatteringly -estimated by a gentleman with a double surname, which happened to be -familiar to me. The communication was, of course, "private;" and it -expressed the writer's knowledge, from hearsay, of the "value, merit, -and ability" of my book, and the satisfaction it would afford my -correspondent, to give it a "handsome an elaborate review in both the -widely circulating and reviewing publications with which he had the -honour of being connected." A copy of my work was to be sent to his own -address, or to that of his bookseller: or, even a third course was -obligingly opened to me--"he would send his man-servant to my publisher -for the volume!" I sent the book, and the same day communicated with the -head of the family who legally bore this very handsome name used by my -correspondent, and he told me that he had just received 5_l._ worth of -books from a great house in "the Row," which were obviously designed to -be the response to an application from the gentleman with a large seal, -who was "an impostor." This may be so; but I have received an -acknowledgement for the receipt of my little work, so kind and courtly -in its tone, that I do not even yet quite despair of one day reading the -promised "handsome and elaborate review." - - A SMALL AUTHOR. - - -FOLK LORE. - -_Valentine's Day--Superstition in Devonshire._--The peasants and others -believe that if they go to the porch of a church, waiting there till -half-past twelve o'clock on the eve of St. Valentine's day, with some -hempseed in his or her hand, and at the time above-named then proceed -homewards, scattering the seed on either side, repeating these lines-- - - "Hempseed I sow, hempseed I mow, - She (or he) that will my true love be, - Come rake this hempseed after me;"-- - -his or her true love will be seen behind, raking up the seed just sown, -in a winding-sheet. Do any of your readers know the origin of this -superstitious custom? - - J. S. A. - - Old Broad Street. - -_Fairies._--An Irish servant of mine, a native of Galway, gave me the -following relations:--Her father was a blacksmith and for his many acts -of benevolence to benighted travellers became a great favourite with the -fairies, who paid him many visits. It was customary for the fairies to -visit his forge at night, after the family had retired to rest, and here -go to work in such right good earnest, as to complete, on all occasions, -the work which had been left overnight unfinished. The family were on -these occasions awoke from their slumber by the vigorous puffing of -bellows, and hammering on anvil, consequent upon these illustrious -habits of the fairies, and it was an invariable rule for the fairies to -replace all the tools they had used during the night; and, moreover, if -the smithy had been left in confusion the previous evening, the "good -people" always arranged it, swept the floor, and restored everything to -order before the morning. I never could glean from her any detailed -instances of the labour accomplished in this way, or indeed anything -which might aid in the formation of an estimate of the relative skill of -the fairies in manual labour; and I must confess that on these subjects -I never question too closely,--the reader will know why. - -On one occasion, one of the family happening to be unwell, the father -went back to the smithy at midnight for some medicine which had been -left there on the shelf, and put the "good people" to flight, just as -they had begun their industrial orgies. To disturb the fairies is at any -time a perilous thing; and so it proved to him: for a fat pig died the -following day, little Tike had the measles, too, after, and no end of -misfortunes followed. In addition to this occult revenge, the inmates of -the house were kept awake for several nights by a noise similar to that -which would be produced by peas being pelted at the windows. The -statement was made with an earnestness of manner which betrayed a faith -without scruples. - - SHIRLEY HIBBERD. - - -Minor Notes. - -_Lines in Whispering Gallery at Gloucester Cathedral._--The following -verse is inscribed in the Whispering Gallery of Gloucester Cathedral; to -preserve it, and as a "Note" to the fourth stanza of the "Ditty" I -inserted in Vol iv., p. 311., I copied it for "N. & Q." - - "Doubt not but God who sits on high, - Thy secret prayers can hear; - When a dead wall thus cunningly - Conveys soft whispers to the ear." - - H.

N. - - - - -Queries. - - -BURNING OF THE JESUITICAL BOOKS AT PARIS. - -The Quarterly Reviewer who endeavours in the number just published to -establish the claim of Thomas Lord Lyttelton to the authorship of -Junius, instances the following coincidence in support of his theory:-- - - "Junius tells us directly, 'I remember seeing Busenbaum, Suarez, - Molina, and a score of other Jesuitical books, burnt at Paris, for - their sound casuistry by the hands of the common hangman.' _We may - assume_ that this took place in 1764, as it was in that year that - Choiseul suppressed the Jesuits. Thomas Lyttelton was on the - continent during the whole of 1764, and for part of that time - resided at Paris."[1] - - [Footnote 1: [The burning of the books referred to by BIFRONS not - Junius (unless it be proved that JUNIUS and BIFRONS are one, which - is not yet universally admitted), took place on 7th August, 1761. - See a very curious note on the subject in Bohn's recently - published edition of _Junius_, vol. ii. pp. 175-6.--ED. "N. & - Q."]] - -But the orders of the parliament of Paris against the Jesuits, one of -which condemned some thirty of their books to be burnt, were issued -three years before the suppression of their order in France, viz., in -the early part and summer of 1761. That Thomas Lyttelton could then have -been in Paris is highly improbable; he was only seventeen, and it was a -time of war. Will any one take the trouble to ascertain where Francis -was? I believe he was appointed secretary to the Portuguese embassy in -1760, and returned to London in 1763. - - H.

B. and sold by Thomas Bickerton, in Little -Britain._ 1716. - -In Canto IV., and beginning at p. 353., there is an account of a brawl -in the parish church of Grantham, anno 1627, arising, as appears by a -marginal note, out of circumstances connected with the "removal of the -Communion table from the upper part of the quire to the altar place." A -master alderman Wheatley, assisted by "an innkeeper fat as brawn," and -"a bow-legged tailor that was there," appears to have taken an active -part in the scuffle which ensued upon the vicar's persisting in his -determination. The alderman and his mob seem to have been triumphant on -this occasion, for we read, p. 356.: - - "The alderman, by help of rabble, - Brought from the wall communion table; - Below the steps he plac'd it, where - It stood before, in midst of quire." - -A pamphlet war followed; for there was immediately _A Letter to the -Vicar of Grantham about setting his Table altarwise_. In answer to this -came _A Coal from the Altar_; which was in its turn assailed by _The -Quench Coal out_, and _The Holy Table, Name and Thing_ (said to have -been written by Williams, Bishop of Lincoln.) A Dr. Pocklington (who was -he?) espoused the side of the Altar party, and published his _Altare -Christianum_. During this literary contest the vicar appears to have -died, and, some twelve months after his death, out comes _The Dead -Vicar's Plea_. - -The affair seems to have created what we should now call a great -sensation in the "religious world:" for, says our author: - - "Scarce was a pen but what has try'd, - And books flew out on every side, - Till ev'ry fop set up for wit, - And Laud, and Hall and Heylin writ, - And so did White and Montague, - And Shelford, Cousins, Watts, and Dow, - Lawrence and Forbis, and a crew - Whose names would"---- - -Master Ward did not like these men, and therefore I omit his rather -uncharitable conclusion. - -Is there any record left of the notable quarrel, which appears to have -engaged the attention and pens of some of the learned men of the age? -Perhaps some of your correspondents at Grantham could throw some light -upon this question. - - L. L. L. - - Kirton-in-Lindsey. - - [This celebrated altar controversy occurred during the reign of - Charles I., and its origin will be found in Clarendon's _History - of the Rebellion_. The Puritans contended that the proper place - for the table, when the eucharist was administered, was in the - body of the church before the chancel door, and to be placed - _tablewise_, and not _altarwise;_ that is, that one of the _ends_ - of the table was to be placed towards the east, so that one of the - larger sides might be to the north, the priest being directed to - stand at the north side, and not at the north _end_ of the table. - The Church party, on the contrary, contended that as the - Injunctions ordered that the table should stand where the altar - used to stand, it should consequently be placed as the altar was. - This matter was the source of much violent contention, and tracts - were published neither remarkable for courtesy of language nor for - accurate statements of facts. It appears to have originated in a - dispute between Mr. Titly, the Vicar of Grantham, and his - parishioners, respecting the proper place for the table. The vicar - insisted that it ought to stand at the upper end of the chancel, - against the east wall. Some of the parishioners contended that it - should stand in the body of the church. The vicar removed it from - that situation, and placed it in the chancel. The alderman of the - borough and others replaced it in its former situation, when a - formal complaint was made to the bishop (Williams). In 1627 the - bishop published his judgment on the question, in _A Letter to the - Vicar of Grantham_. The visitation of 1634 tempted Peter Heylyn to - republish this _Letter_, together with an answer under the title - of _A Coal from the Altar_, &c. Williams replied in 1637 by a - treatise entitled _The Holy Table, Name and Thing, more anciently - and literally used under the New Testament than that of Altar_. - Heylyn rejoined by his _Antidotum Lincolniense; or an Answer to a - Book entitled "The Holy Altar, Name and Thing," &c._ The bishop - was preparing for his further vindication, when he was prevented - by his troubles in the Star Chamber, in consequence of which his - library was seized. "And how," says Hacket, "could he fight - without his arms? or, how could the bell ring when they had stolen - away the clapper?" During the controversy Dr. Pocklington, - Chaplain in Ordinary to the King, published his _Altare - Christianum; or, the Dead Vicar's Plea, wherein the Vicar of - Grantham being dead yet speaketh, and pleadeth out of Antiquity - against him that hath broken down his Altar_, 4to. 1637. The best - historical notice of this controversy is given in Hacket's _Life - of Archbishop Williams_, pt. ii. pp. 99-109., and was particularly - referred to by the counsel on the Cambridge stone altar case, - 1844-1845, as well as by Sir Herbert Jenner Fust in his judgment - on it.] - - -MEANING OF GROOM. - -In investigating the descent of two Devonshire families, I save met with -four instances of persons designating themselves as _groom_. They were -certainly well connected, and in fortune apparently much above the class -of people who accept the care of horses in this present day. - -If they were grooms of horses, society was in a very different state -from that in which it is at the present day; if they were not such -grooms, what then were they? I believe they were unmarried persons. -First, there is Samuel Weeks, of South Tawton, groom; will proved in the -Archdeacon of Exeter's Court, 1639. His father was Richard Weeks, styled -gentleman in the parish register; and Samuel Weeks signs his name in a -peculiarly fine Italian hand, that I do not remember to have seen in any -instance of that time except in that of a thorough gentleman. - -Francis Kingwell, of Crediton, groom. His will was proved in the -Bishop's Court in 1639; his sister married a Richard Hole, of South -Tawton, yeoman of substance; her second husband was John Weeks, of South -Tawton, gentleman, and his sons were gentlemen. These Weekses were, I -doubt not, nearly related to the Wykes or Weeks, of North Wyke, in the -same parish, a family of great antiquity. - -Thirdly, here is John Hole, of South Tawton, groom, 1640. His inventory -is 180_l._, of which 4_l._ was for his clothes, whereas a gentleman in -one case in this neighbourhood has his clothes valued at ten shillings; -Kingwell's inventory was the same. - -Robert Hole, of Zeal Monachorum, groom, is the fourth instance. His will -was proved at Westminster in 1654; he was the son of a wealthy yeoman, -and his brother, Thomas Hole, was a gentleman. - -I trouble you that I may learn, through your kindness, whether _groom_, -in these instances, was used with the meaning which we attach to it; or -at that time, or in the English language, or the vernacular tongue of -central Devonshire, meant anything else. - - E. DAVIS PROTHEROE. - - -Minor Queries. - -_Gregentius and the Jews in Arabia Felix._-- - - "We have a remarkable instance to this purpose in ecclesiastical - history, which is attested by many and great authors. It seems, - about 400 years after our Saviour's ascension, one Gregentius, a - bishop, endeavoured the conversion of those Jews which lived in - Arabia Felix. After a tedious disputation of three days' - continuance some of the Jews desired the bishop to show them Jesus - alive, and it would convince them. Immediately upon this the earth - began to tremble, and the sky to shine and echo with lightnings - and thunder. After these ceased, the gates of the celestial palace - opened, and a bright serene cloud appeared, darting forth beams of - an extraordinary lustre. At last our blessed Saviour showed - himself walking on this bright cloud, and a voice was heard from - this excellent glory saying, 'I am He who was crucified by your - fathers.' This glorious appearance cast all the Jews prostrate on - the ground, and, beating their breasts, they cried with a loud - voice, 'Lord have mercy on us!' and afterwards were baptised into - the faith of Christ."--_Sermons_ by John March, B.D., late Vicar - of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. 2nd ed. 1699, p. 235. - -Who are the "many and great authors" who have attested this -extraordinary apparition? - - E. H. A. - -_King Street Theatre._--Among a large collection of medallic tickets of -admission to theatres, I am unable to fix the precise attribution of the -following: - -Ob.: A group of dramatic emblems, mask, sword, mirror, scourge, and a -legend: - - "Spectas et tu spectabere. King Street Theatre." - -Rev.: - - "Admit Mr. Cooper, or bearer, to any part of the house before the - curtain." - -The ticket is of silver, and is evidently of the time of Garrick; it -cannot therefore apply to the theatre in King Street, St. James's, which -is of recent erection; nor am I aware of any other King Street in London -which contained a theatre. Its situation will most probably be found in -some provincial town. - -If any of your obliging correspondents could furnish information as to -its locality, they would confer a favour on the writer. - - B. N. - -_Lesteras and Emencin._--In an old MS. I meet with the following -words:-- - - "One (a pillar) was made of _Lefteras_ (I do not know whether the - third letter is an _s_ or an _f_ in the original) which would not - burn." - - "After they came to the land of _Emencin_, which is the country of - Jerusalem." - -Can any of your readers give me any information as to either of the -words _Lesteras_ or _Emencin_? - - O. OGLE. - - Oxford. - -_Epigram on Franklin and Wedderburn._--Will any of your correspondents -acquaint me with the name of the author of the following lines, written -shortly after Dr. Franklin's attendance at the Privy Council in January, -1774, in allusion to Wedderburn's severe remarks upon him?-- - - "Sarcastic Sawney, full of spite and hate, - On modest Franklin poured his venal prate; - The calm philosopher without reply - Withdrew--and gave his country liberty." - -The lines were repeated to me by the late Francis Maseres, Esq., -Cursitor Baron of the Court of Exchequer. - - W. S. - - Richmond, Surrey. - -_Plenius and his Lyrichord._--May I hope to ascertain, through the -medium of your journal, where to look for information on the subject of -the "lyrichord of Plenius," referred to in Rees' _Encyclopædia_, art. -"Basse Fondamentale," as having been "tuned by weights instead of -tension?" The point left in doubt by this, is whether a single weight -was substituted for tension, or whether the different notes in the -musical scale were produced by altering the weight according to the -rules for that purpose. - -Was Plenius an ancient, a Middle-Age man, or was he _Herr Plen_, who -latinized his name, as was the fashion a century or two ago? - - T. - -_Epigram on Burnet._--A friend of mine across the Atlantic wishes to -ask, whether any one knows where the following epigram, which he -remembers in MS. in an old folio copy of Burnet's _History_, comes -from:-- - - "If Heaven is pleas'd when sinners cease to sin, - If Hell is pleas'd when sinners enter in, - If men are pleas'd at parting with a knave, - Then all are pleas'd--for Burnet's in his grave." - - C. B. - -_Dutch Chronicle of the World._--Will any of your readers oblige me with -information respecting a Dutch work, professing to be an historical -chronicle of the world from the creation to the time in which it was -printed, which was in the days of _Merian_, the celebrated engraver, -father to the naturalist Madame Merian, who was also an artist of some -repute. The work I allude to was illustrated by numerous spirited -engravings (supposed to have been executed on _pewter_), and of which I -possess several hundred, which had been cut out of the letter-press -which surrounded the prints, and bought at a stall in London many years -back. I question whether there is a copy of the work to be found in -England, except it be in the British Museum. - - JOHN FENTON. - -"_Arborei foetus alibi, atque injussa virescunt Gramina_" (_Virgil G._ -I. 55.).--Amongst my school reminiscences, I retain very distinctly the -remembrance of the surprise we felt in the sixth form, when we were -desired by our revered and excellent master to construe the above words -as follows: - - "'Arborei foetus,' _flourish unbidden in one situation, grass in - another_." - -Or, more literally: - - "'Arborei foetus,' _flourish unbidden in situations different from - those in which grass (flourishes unbidden)_." - -I well remember too, that some of us, while we admired the ingenuity, -ventured to doubt the correctness of the translation. Will some of your -learned correspondents kindly favour me with their opinions? - - W. S. - -_History of Brittany._--I shall feel obliged to any one who can refer me -to a good history or histories of Brittany; more especially to those -which relate to the genealogies and heraldry of the Breton families, or -which contain pedigrees. - - T. H. KERSLEY, B.A. - -_Serjeants' Rings._--T. P. would be obliged to any of your antiquarian -readers who could inform him, through the medium of your paper, whether -the custom of serjeants-at-law presenting rings with mottoes, on taking -the coif, prevailed so long back as A.D. 1670-80, and, if so, whether -there are any records, or other sources, from which he could ascertain -the motto used by an individual who was admitted to that degree about -that period? - -_The Duchess of Cleveland's Cow-pox._--In Baron's _Life of Jenner_, Vol. -i. p. 123., there occurs the following note, extracted from one of Dr. -Jenner's note-books of 1799: - - "I know of no direct allusion to the disease in any ancient - author, yet the following seems not very distantly to bear upon - it. When the Duchess of Cleveland was taunted by her companions, - Moll Davis (Lady Mary Davis) and others, that she might soon have - to deplore the loss of that beauty which was then her boast, the - small-pox at that time raging in London, she made a reply to this - effect,--that she had no fear about the matter, for she had had a - disorder which would prevent her from ever catching the small-pox. - This was lately communicated by a gentleman in this county, but - unfortunately he could not recollect from what author he gained - his intelligence." - -Can any reader of "N. & Q." supply this missing authority for a fact -which is very important in the history of medicine--if true? - - ONETWOTHREE. - -_Arms of Manchester._--What are the arms of Manchester? and are they of -ancient usage? or only assigned to the town since its incorporation? and -if the latter, whence did the bearings originate? - - H.

They were, as Noble -relates, originally sold into the Egmont family, and descended to John -James, the third Earl; but some time after his death, about the year -1831, all the personal property of the family was disposed of; the -effects at Enmore Castle were sold by auction on the spot; and the -writer of this well remembers seeing the old family pictures preparing -for the same fate in a sales-room in Conduit Street, he thinks of Mr. -Abbots. Mr. Braithwaite, of Great Russell Street, was the auctioneer -employed at Enmore, and an inquiry was made of him at the time relative -to these MSS., and the answer was, that they also were destined to the -hammer. A catalogue also was promised whenever it should come out. The -writer was subsequently informed that the MSS. were withdrawn, and he -could never learn what became of them. - - M----N. - - -Minor Queries Answered. - -_The Pelican, as a Symbol of the Saviour._--Is the pelican now, or was -it formerly considered as a symbol of Our Saviour? I have seen it used -in the ancient decorations of churches, but never looked on it as such; -nor can I remember ever having seen it mentioned as an emblem of the -Saviour, with the exception of one passage in Dante's Vision (Canto -xxv.) of Paradise. - - ROBERT NELSON. - - [In the _Calendar of the Anglican Church Illustrated_, p. 328., - will be found an engraving of "a pelican feeding her young with - blood from her own breast, signifying the Saviour giving Himself - up for the redemption of mankind;" and in the foot-note references - to Aringhi's _Roma Subterranea_, and other works, in which other - representations of the same symbol are to be found. Our - correspondent may also be referred to Alt's _Heiligenbilder_, s. - 56.] - -_Bishop Coverdale's Bible._--When did Bishop Coverdale _commence_ his -translation of the Bible? Where was the first edition printed? Is any -copy in existence which possesses the _original_ title-page, i.e. _not_ -the one added in England, stating that it is translated from the "Douche -and Latyn?" - - H. H. H. V. - - [We have submitted H. H. H. V.'s Query to our obliging - correspondent, GEORGE OFFOR, ESQ., whose library is particularly - rich in early English versions of the Bible, and who has kindly - favoured us with the following communication]:-- - -In reply to your correspondent H. H. H. V.'s very curious question to -know when Myles Coverdale _commenced_ his translation, I beg to state -that he was born in 1488, and that it has not yet been discovered when -his mind was first led to contemplate the translation of the Sacred -Scriptures, nor whether he _commenced_ with the New or the Old -Testament. The facts known are, that he finished the translation or the -printing of it on the 4th day of October, 1535,--probably at Cologne, -because other books printed there about that time have the same -initials, wood-cuts, and type. A copy, with the original title-page, is -in the Holkham library, having, on the reverse, part of the list of -books, showing that originally it was without a dedication; this has the -words, "Douche and Latyn." When the dedication was printed, this title -was cancelled and a new one printed, still with the words "Douche and -Latyn," with the reverse blank. A fine copy of this is in the possession -of Earl Jersey, and one with the title-page repaired is in the British -Museum. Perfect copies have a map of Palestine. In 1537, this book was -reprinted, both in folio and quarto, probably at Antwerp, and in these -the words "from the Douche and Latyn" were very properly omitted, -Coverdale being still living to see them through the press; these are -ornamented with large initial letters with a dance of death, and are the -rarest volumes in the English language. In these the dedication is -altered from Queen Anne to Queen Jane, as the wife of Henry VIII. They -were all dedicated to the king and to the queen; the two latter are all -in Old English type. These were followed by an edition dedicated to -Edward VI. in a Swiss type, 4to., printed at Zurich by Chr. Froschover, -and published under three titles--1st, as the translation of Thos. -Matthewe; 2nd, as the translation of Myles Coverdale, London, by Andrew -Hester, 1550; and 3rd, London, by Jugge, 1553. These are books of great -rarity, and may be all seen in my library by any of your readers, -sanctioned by a note from you or any minister of religion. My first -edition has several uncut leaves. - -The introduction of the words "from the Douche (meaning Luther's German) -and Latyn" has never been accounted for; they probably were inserted by -the German printer to make the volume more popular, so as to interest -reformers by the German of Luther, and Romanists by the Vulgate Latin. -The translation is certainly from the Hebrew and Greek, compared with -Luther's and the Vulgate. - - GEORGE OFFOR. - - Grove Street, Victoria Park. - -_Age of the Oak._--The late Queries respecting the age of trees, remind -me of some lines of which I have been long in search-- - - "The monarch oak, the patriarch of the trees, - Shoots rising up, and spreads by slow degrees: - Three centuries he grows, and three he stays - Supreme in state; and in three more decays." - -I think it probable that they are from a play of Dryden or Otway; but -some of your readers may probably be able to answer this Query. - - T. C. - - Durham. - - [In Richardson's _Dictionary_, as well as in the _Encyclopædia - Metropolitana_, these lines are quoted under the word _Patriarch_, - as from _The Cock and the Fox_, by Dryden; whereas Bysshe, in his - _Art of English Poetry_, under the word _Oak_, refers us to - Dryden's _Ovid_. In neither of these pieces do they occur; our - correspondent, however, will find them in Dryden's _Palamon and - Arcite, or the Knight's Tale_, line 2334.] - -_Olivarius._--Can any of your readers inform me what is the title of a -book written by Olivarius, a French astrologer, 1542, in which there is -a prophecy relative to France, and somewhat similar to that of St. -Cæsarius (p. 471.)? What was his christian name, and in what library is -the work to be found? - - CLERICUS D. - - Dublin. - - [Maittaire, in his _Annales Typograph._, tom. v. pt. ii. p. 102., - notices the following work: "Olivarius (Petrus Joannes) Valentinus - de Prophetiâ. Basileæ ex officinâ Joannis Oporini, 1543, mense - Augusto." From the catalogues of the British Museum and the - Bodleian, it does not appear to be in either of these libraries.] - -_Vincent Bourne's Epilogus in Eunuchum Terentii._--Will any of your -readers inform me whether an Epilogue to the _Eunuch_ of Terence, -written by V. Bourne, and spoken in 1746, has ever been printed in any, -and what, edition of Bourne's _Poems_? Gnatho appears on the stage, -dressed as a recruiting sergeant, with several recruits, and thus -begins: - - "Siste--tace--Gnatho sum Miles, cum gloria cives - Evocat ad Martem, quis parasitus erit? - Aut quis venari coenas et prandia malit, - Nobile cui stimulet pectus honoris amor?" - -And the concluding lines are: - - "Arma viros facient--Vosmet simul arma geratis, - Seribatis, jubeo, protinus armigeros: - Hâc lege, ut conclametis, Rex Vivat; idemque - Tu repetas, Stentor noster, utrâque manu." - -This epilogue is in my possession in MS., the handwriting of my father, -who was, in 1746, a scholar of Westminster College. It should seem, from -a letter written to the _Gentleman's Magazine_ by the late Archdeacon -Nares, in April, 1826, and reprinted in Nichols's _Illustrations_, vol. -vii. p. 656., that he was in possession of a copy, as he there tenders -it to the editor of the sixth edition of _Bourne_, which had then (1826) -recently issued from the Oxford press. - - W. S. - - Richmond, Surrey. - - [The Epilogue referred to will be found in the beautiful edition - of Vinny Bourne's _Poems_, published by Pickering in 1840, and in - the _Gentleman's Magazine_, May, 1826, p. 450, where, however, the - first line reads-- - - 'Siste, tace; Gnatho sum Miles, cum gloria _pulchra_,' &c.] - -_Burton, Bp., Founder of Schools, &c., at Loughborough, co. -Leicester._--Can any of your genealogical readers give a clue to his -family, and their armorial bearings? - - J. K. - - [Thomas Burton was a French merchant, not a prelate. A short - notice of him and his gifts will be found in the _Reports of - Commissioners of Inquiry into Charities_, and in Carlisle's - _Endowed Charities_; but no account of his family has been given - by his namesake, William Burton, in his _History of - Leicestershire_, or by Nichols in his _History_.] - -_Hoo._--What is the meaning of this word? In Bedfordshire there are two -houses and estates called by this name, Luton Hoo and Pertenhall Hoo; -and in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Kent are villages so called. - - ARUN. - - [Luton Hoo, in Bedfordshire, was the manor of the family of Hoo, - or De Hoo, who are said by Sir Henry Chauncy to have been settled - there before the Norman Conquest. Hasted, in his Kent, says, "Hoo - comes from the Saxon _hou_, a hill." Ihre derives the word from - _hoeg_, high. Spelman, vo. _Hoga_, observes that _ho_, _how_, - signifies mons, collis. Jamieson says "_How_ is certainly no other - than Isl. _haug_, Suio-Gothic _hoeg_, the name given to sepulchral - mounds." See also Lemon's _English Etymology_, s. v. _Hough_, - _how_.] - - - - -Replies. - - -MODERN NAMES OF PLACES. - -(Vol. iv., p. 470.) - -Your correspondent L. H. J. T. has noticed the corruption of Greek -topographical names, arising from the use of the definite article, which -the ear of a traveller not skilled in the language supposes to be a part -of the name, and so makes _Statines_ or _Satines_ from Athens, _Stives_ -from Thebes, &c. - -It may be interesting to some readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES" to know -that exactly the same thing has happened in Ireland, and that the -recognised Anglicised forms of several proper names, now stereotyped, -are a combination of the definite article _an_, of the Gaelic or Irish -language, with the name of the place. - -For instance, _Nenagh_ in the co. Tipperary is properly _Aonach_ [pron. -_eenagh_], but generally spoken of by the people with the definite -article _an Aonach_, the Aonach, _i.e._ fair, place of a fair or -assembly; and hence by the English made _Nenagh_. - -So also the river _Ainge_ [pron. nearly as _Anny_] is usually called an -Ainge, _the_ Ainge; and therefore is now _Nanny_, the Nanny, or Nanny -water, in the co. Meath. - -In like manner, the island _Aondruim_ in Loch Cuan, on which stood once -a celebrated monastery, is in Irish always called _an Aondruim_, the -Aondruim, and is now Nandrum or Nantrim Island. - -The town of _Newry_ is another instance. It has its name from an ancient -yew tree [in Irish _Iubhair_, pron. nearly as the word _your_] which -stood near it, and was said to have been planted by St. Patrick. Hence -the town is always called _an Iubhair_, the yew tree; which, by -incorporating the article, has been Anglicised _Newry_. - -The river _Nore_ in Ossory, is properly _an Eoir_, the Eoir [pron. -_Ore_]. - -So also the _Navan_ fort near Armagh, is _an Eamhain_, the Eamhain -[pron. nearly as _Avan_]. - -I might fill a page with other instances, but I shall only mention -another similar corruption in proper names, where after dropping the -_Mac_ the _c_ is retained, in cases where the patronymic begins with a -vowel. Thus the descendants of the Danish family of _Ottar_ became _Mac -Ottar_, and are now Cotter. So _Mac Etigan_ became _Gettigan_; _Mac -Eeoghegan_, Geoghegan; the _c_ being further transmuted into _g_. And -hundreds of similar instances could be given. - -It may also be observed that the English very generally caught the -genitive, or oblique case, of the Irish proper names, and from it formed -the name which is now in use amongst the English speaking population. -Thus they heard the Irish speak of the isles _Araun_, _i.e._ the isles -_of Ara_, for _Araun_ is the genitive; and hence they are now the _Aran -Isles_. So also the ford Trim or Druim, in Irish _Ath-Druim_ (the ford -of the long low hill, _vadum Dorsi_), where _Druim_ [pron. nearly -_Trim_] is the genitive of _Drom_ or _Drum_, a long low hill, a back. - -The names given to Ireland by medieval writers, after the ancient name -of Scotia had been transferred to _Alban_ (which, by the way, is itself -a genitive, from _Alba_), afford instances of the same thing. - -One of the native names of Ireland is _Eri_, or _Eire_, genitive -_Erinn_. From this the Greeks and Romans formed the name _Ierne_, from -the old word _I_, an island--_I-Erinn_, the island _of Eri_. And so we -now have also the genitive _Erin_, as a poetical name of the island. The -Danes, however, retained the absolute form, and called it _Eri-landt_, -Ireland. - -So also from the old word _Ibh_, or _Hibh_, a tribe, or country, we have -_Hibh-Erinn_, the tribe, or people of Eri, and hence evidently -_Hibernia_ and _Ivernia_. - - T. D. - - -PROVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY.--PAROCHIAL LIBRARY AT MAIDSTONE. - -(Vol. iv., p. 92.) - -As some of your readers may be aware, there is an old and somewhat -valuable library in the vestry of All Saints Church, Maidstone, which -was partly purchased by the parishioners of the executors of Dr. Bray -(who bequeathed his books to any parish which would advance fifty pounds -as a consideration for the value of them), and was afterwards increased -by the munificence of several benefactors. - -Up to the year 1810, when the present catalogue was made, it would -appear that but little, or at any rate very insufficient, care was taken -of these books; for Mr. Finch, who rearranged the library and wrote the -catalogue, carefully correcting the inaccuracies in the former one, -declares, in a note that he has placed at the commencement, dated -October 1, 1810, that he "found many valuable books missing, and a still -larger number irretrievably damaged by the incursions of worms and -damp." - -The number of volumes missing and decayed amounted to about 100, whilst -the number remaining in the library appears to have been 710, and their -gross value about 165_l._ - -Since 1810 far greater care seems to have been bestowed on them, for but -few, very few, volumes mentioned in the catalogue then made are missing, -and a daily fire during the winter months tends greatly to prevent their -further injury by damp. - -I will not, however, trouble you with any further remarks about the -library itself, but proceed at once to the subject of my note, which is -to offer for your acceptance three proverbs (which I have met with in -reading one of the books) as an addition to the valuable collection -lately sent by your correspondent COWGILL. - -The book from which I have derived them is a small quarto, containing -the following tracts or treatises; but whether any or all of them are -now but rarely to be met with, I know not. - - 1st.

The first is from the lines of Beriah Philophylax to his -friend Mr. Thomas Hall, which is prefixed to his "Font Guarded;" and the -other two from Edwards' "Gangrene of Heresie,"-- - - 1st.

BREEN upon a well-known -passage in Goldsmith's _Deserted Village_, a little consideration will -convince him that the view taken by D'Israeli and himself is not only -extremely superficial, but that the proposed emendation would entirely -destroy the poet's meaning. - -The antithesis is not between flourishing and fading, but between the -difficult restoration of a bold peasantry and the easy reproduction of -princes and lords. - -The first branch of the antithesis is between _wealth_ and _men_: - - "Where wealth accumulates and men decay." - -It then proceeds to set forth that it matters little whether nobles -flourish or fade, because a breath can make _them_ as easily as it has -originally made them: but not so with a bold peasantry. When once _they_ -are destroyed, _they_ can never be replaced. - -In fact, so far from the sense requiring the alteration of "makes" into -"_un_makes," the substitution, if we would preserve the author's -meaning, should be "remakes:" - - "Princes and lords may flourish or may fade, - A breath _remakes them_, as a breath has made." - -I only put this in illustration: Heaven forbid I should recommend it as -an improvement! - -As for the cited "parallel passages," the best answer that can be given -to _them_ is, that they cease to be parallel passages! - -I shall therefore take the liberty to repeat a sentence from MR. BREEN, -with a slight alteration: - - "That Goldsmith wrote the line in question with the word - 'unmakes,' there seems (_every_) reason to doubt." - - A. E. B. - - Leeds. - -P.S.--As a mere matter of fact, apart from other considerations, -although a breath from the fountain of honour may create a noble, it -may be questioned whether it would not require something more than a -breath to _un_make him? - - [We have received many other excellent defences of the original - reading of this passage in Goldsmith. We have selected the present - as one of the shortest among those which first reached us. We will - add to it a postscript from the communication of another - correspondent, J. S. W., showing a curious typographical error - which has crept into the recent editions of Goldsmith.] - -_Passage in the Traveller._--There is a line in the _Traveller_, I may -observe, into which an error of the press, or of some unlucky critic, -has intruded. Goldsmith, speaking of the Swiss, says that he - - "_Breasts_ the keen air, and carols as he goes." - -In some editions it is given-- - - "_Breathes_ the keen air," &c. - -_Breasts_ was doubtless the original word, for it is quoted in Johnson's -_Dictionary_, under the word _Breast_. This alteration, however, does -not, like the supposed change of _unmakes_ into _can make_, affect the -sense. - - J. S. W. - - Stockwell. - - -BOGATZKY. - -(Vol. iii., pp. 478., 526.; Vol. iv., p. 44.) - -Perhaps the following Note may prove interesting, as a contribution to -the literary history of Bogatzky's popular work, and as explanatory of -the statement of R. D. H. (Vol. iii., p. 526.), that the book was almost -entirely re-written _by the Rev. H. Venn_. - -_The Golden Treasury_ was introduced to English readers through the late -excellent John Thornton, Esq. This gentleman having met with a copy of -the German work, caused it to be translated into English. Of this -translation (in which many of Bogatzky's papers are exchanged for -extracts from English writers) a single copy was printed, interleaved, -and sent to the _Rev. John Berridge_, of Everton, for final revision. -This copy is now before me. The title runs thus: _A Golden Treasury for -the Children of God, whose Treasure is in Heaven; consisting of select -Texts of the Bible, with practical Observations in Prose and Verse, for -every Day in the Year. By C. H. v. Bogatzky: with some Alterations and -Improvements by various Hands. Also a Preface on the right Use of this -Book. Together with a few Forms of Prayer for private Use. "Where your -Treasure is, there will your Heart be also." Matt._ vi. 21. _London: -Printed in the Year_ MDCCLXXV. Then follows the Preface (pp. iii.-xvi.), -written by Mr. Thornton. The rest of the book extends to 374 pages of a -small oblong form. The whole is very copiously annotated by Mr. -Berridge, whose corrections are most important and judicious. He greatly -improved and simplified the language, his chief aim evidently being to -accommodate the book to the use of as large a number of readers as -possible. The humour of the man breaks out ever and anon in cutting -rebukes and sarcasms directed against unsound doctrine: neither -Calvinist nor Arminian, Pharisee nor Antinomian, escape his lash. A -considerable number of papers are either entirely re-written, or very -largely altered; _e.g._ Jan. 29 (by J. Thornton); Feb. 10, 19; April 8, -26; May 2, 3, 16, 20; June 19, 22; Sept. 9, 17, 18, 21, 25; Oct. 10; -Nov. 18; Dec. 1, &c. About forty-three papers are left untouched, and -twenty others have only some verses added by Mr. Berridge. Next, as to -the extracts from English authors: in the interleaved copy the sources -are indicated in Mr. Thornton's handwriting for the first six months; -beyond which there is no indication of the kind. I subjoin a list of the -authors from whom extracts have been made:-- - -_Aberdeen Bible_, Feb. 17, 22, April 1, 18, June 8; _Mr. Adams_, March -28; _Mr. Bentley_, Jan. 1, 12, April 21; _Mr. Brewer_, April 15; -_Darracot's Scripture Marks_, March 5, April 3; _Mr. De Coetlogon_, June -5; _Mr. Fletcher_, May 4, 5; _Mr. Forster_, Feb. 10, 20; _Dr. Guise_, -June 11; _Bishop Hall_, Feb. 12, 26, March 12, May 3, June 9; _Mr. -Howe_, March 1, April 6; _Mr. Keash (?)_, Feb. 1; _Mr. King_, Jan. 31, -Feb. 8; _Mr. Law_, June 4; _Mr. Mason_, March 29, 30; _Mr. Newton_, -April 17; _Dr. Owen_, Feb. 21, March 15, 21; _Mr. Romaine_, Jan. 29; -_Spencer's Storehouse_, Feb. 16, March 19, 31, April 20, 30, May 29, -June 14, 17; _Mrs. Thornton_, March 10; _Mrs. Wills_, April 19. - -I will only add that most of the corrections of Mr. Berridge were -adopted by Mr. Thornton, and have consequently appeared in the London -editions in current use. - - C. P. PH***. - - -MORAVIAN HYMNS. - -(Vol. iv., p. 502.) - -John Wesley was at one time of his life a pupil of the Moravians, and -Southey's _Life_ of that remarkable man, like most of his works, -pregnant with interest and erudition, affords a satisfactory answer to -your correspondent's Query. I quote from the 3rd edition of the _Life_, -2 vols., 1846. Of the Moravians he says:-- - - "Madness never gave birth to combinations of more _monstrous and - blasphemous obscenity_ than they did in their fantastic allegories - and spiritualizations. In such freaks of perverted fancy the - abominations of the Phallus and the Lingam have unquestionably - originated; and in some such abominations Moravianism might have - ended, had it been instituted among the Mingrelian or Malabar - Christians, where there was no antiseptic influence of surrounding - circumstances to preserve it from putrescence. Fortunately for - themselves, and for that part of the heathen world among whom they - have laboured, and still are labouring with exemplary devotion, - the Moravians were taught by their assailants to correct this - perilous error in time."--Vol. i. p. 173. - -He adds in a note: - - "The reader who may have perused Rimius's _Narrative of the Rise - and Progress of the Herrnhuters_, and the 'Responsorial Letters of - the Theological Faculty of Tübingen' annexed to it [the 2nd - edition was published London, 1753], will not think this language - too strong." - -In the Appendix, p. 481., Southey further says: - - "The most characteristic parts of the Moravian hymns are _too - shocking_ to be inserted here: even in the humours and - extravagances of the Spanish religious poets there is nothing - which approaches to the monstrous perversion of religious feeling - in these astonishing productions. The copy which I possess is of - the third edition printed for James Hutton, 1746. An interesting - account of James Hutton, who published the _Moravian Hymns_, may - be seen in the great collection of _Literary Anecdotes_ by Mr. - Nichols, vol. iii. p. 435. Of their _silliness_ I subjoin only - such a specimen as may be read without offence:-- - - 'What is now to children the dearest thing here? - To be the Lamb's lambkins and chickens most dear; - Such lambkins are nourished with food which is best, - Such chickens sit safely and warm in the nest.' - - 'And when Satan at an hour - Comes our chickens to devour, - Let the children's angels say, - Those are Christ's chicks--go thy way.' - - "Yet even the _Moravian Hymns_ are equalled by a poem of - Manchester manufacture in the _Gospel Magazine_ for August, 1808, - entitled the 'Believer's Marriage in Christ.'"--Southey's _Life of - Wesley_. - -See also Crantz's _History of the Brethren_, translated by Latrobe, 8vo. -London, 1780; _A True and Authentic Account of Andrew Frey_, translated -from the German, London, 1753, an extremely curious work; also _A Solemn -Call on Count Zinzendorf_, by Henry Rimius, London, 1754. - - JARLTZBERG. - - December 30th, 1851. - - -Replies to Minor Queries. - -_Inveni portum_ (Vol. v., p. 10.).--This couplet, which occurs at the -close of the second volume of _Gil Blas_, is a version of the following -Greek epigram among those of uncertain authors in the _Anthologia_: - - [Greek: - Eis tychên - - Elpis kai sy Tychê, mega chairete; ton limen' heuron. - Ouden emoi ch' hymin; paizete tous met' eme.] - -It is a slight alteration of the translation given by William Lilly, Sir -Thomas More's friend and schoolfellow, and occurs, with Sir Thomas -More's version, in the _Progymnasmata_ prefixed to the first edition of -More's _Epigrams_, a very elegant volume, printed under the care of -Beatus Rhinanus by Frobenius, at Basle, in 1520: small 4to. The -frontispiece is by Holbein: - - "T. MORI DE CONTEMPTU FORTUNÆ. - - "Jam portum inveni, Spes et Fortuna valete. - Nil mihi vobiscum est, ludite nunc alios." - - "G. LILII. - - "Inveni portum. Spes et Fortuna valete. - Nil mihi vobiscum, ludite nunc alios." - -There is a longer epigram, also by an uncertain author, in the First -Book of the _Anthologia_, the first lines of which differ but slightly. -It runs thus: - - [Greek: Elpis kai su Tuchê, mega chairete tên hodon heuron; - Ouk eti gar spheterois epiterpomai; errhete amphô, - Houneken en meropessi polyplanees mala este. - k. t. l.] - -The epigram has been very frequently translated. We have Latin versions -by W. Morel, Grotius, and others; and several Italian and French -versions. Mr. Merivale has thus rendered it: - - "Fortune and Hope farewell! I've found the port: - You've done with me: go now, with others sport!" - -Thomas Moore has given us a spirited paraphrase of it. - - S.W. SINGER. - - Manor Place, South Lambeth. - -_Quarter Waggoner_ (Vol. v., p. 11.).--As the editor, in the exercise of -his official functions, may class this scrap with the _Replies_, it -cannot be amiss to state that I offer its contents as mere conjectures. - -In the _Sea grammar_ of captain John Smith, which was published in 1627, -we have a list of books adapted to the use of those who would _learn to -observe the altitude_, to _prick_ their _card_, or _say_ their -_compass_. It is as follows: - - "Master _Wrights_ Errours of nauigation. Master _Tapps_ Sea-mans - kalender. The art of nauigation. The sea regiment. The sea-mans - secret. _Waggoner_. Master _Gunters_ workes. The sea-mans glasse - for the scale. The new attracter for variation. Master _Wright_ - for vse of the globe. Master _Hewes_ for the same." - -It thus appears that _Waggoner_ was either the title of a book, or the -name of an author; and we may infer, from the absence of particulars, -that it was quite familiar to the seamen of that period--as much so as -_Charles'-wain_. May it not indicate Lucas Jansz _Wagenaer_ of -Enchuisen, author of the _Spieghel der zeevaerdt_, or mirror of -navigation, published at Leyden in 1585. The _Spieghel_ became a -standard work; and a translation of it by Anthony Ashley was printed at -London, with a dedication to sir Christopher Hatton, about the year -1588. Mr. Joseph Ames, who gives the title of this translation, -observes: "Perhaps the sailors from this book call their sea charts -_Wagenars_." He was the son of a merchant-captain, and passed his life -as a ship chandler in Wapping: I need not search for a better witness. -With regard to the word _Quarter_, it seems to be an abbreviation of -quarter-deck; and if so, _Quarter Waggoner_ would mean the quarter-deck -charts, or the charts which were supplied to the commander of a ship for -the use of himself and the other officers. - - BOLTON CORNEY. - -_Cibber's Lives of the Poets_ (Vol. v., p. 25.).--MR. CROSSLEY says that -none of Johnson's biographers appear to have known that the prospectus -which he has sent you was furnished by Dr. Johnson; but of this fact he -gives no other proof than his own opinion that "the internal evidence is -decisive." Now I really must say, that to my poor judgment nothing can -be less like Johnson's peculiar style; and, moreover, MR. CROSSLEY, who -quotes Mr. Croker's note (p. 818., ed. 1848) on this subject, has -certainly not read that note accurately, for the object of that note was -to endeavour to account for Johnson's having frequently and positively -asserted that _Cibber had nothing to do with these lives_, of which MR. -CROSSLEY would have us suppose he wrote the prospectus for Cibber. If -MR. CROSSLEY will read more carefully the note referred to, which is -half Boswell's and half Croker's, and also another note (also referred -to), p. 504., he will see that it is impossible that Johnson could have -written this prospectus. - -As I happen to be addressing MR. CROSSLEY, I take the liberty of asking -whether he has yet been able to lay his hands on Pope's Imitation of -Horace, _printed by Curll_ in 1716 (see "N. & Q.," Vol. iv., pp. 122. -139.), and which he tells us he possesses. I wonder and should be sorry -that _such a curiosity_ should be lost or even mislaid. - - C. - -_Poniatowski Gems_ (Vol. v., p. 30.).--A. O. O. D. is informed that a -portion of these gems were sold by Christie and Manson about the second -week in June of last year, under an order of the Court of Chancery, on -account of the estate of the late Lord Monson. The contents of one -cabinet were alone put up, and the auctioneers can, no doubt, supply the -particulars that A. O. O. D. requires; or more general information might -possibly be obtained from the solicitors, Messrs. Pooley and Beisly, 1. -Lincoln's Inn Fields. - - M----N. - -_Dial Motto at Karlsbad_ (Vol. iv., pp. 471. 507.).--I do not think it -difficult to throw light upon the Karlsbad inscription sent to you by -HERMES. I believe that there is a mistake either by the inscriber or the -transcriber, and that the word CEdIt ought to be written CeDIt. The -chrono-grammatic letters or numerals would then be MDCCVVVVIIIIIIIIII = -MDCCXXX = 1730. There are, however, as you have printed it, three other -capital letters, but I observe they are not in the same type as the -numerals. The question then arises, how do they appear in the original -inscription? do they all appear there, or only the first two. It is -possible that they, _i.e._ H. H. T., may be the initials of the name of -the then owner of the house I should like this explanation better if the -only capitals, not numerals, were H. H., the initials of the first two -words of the inscription, and unmingled with the numerals. It would then -be H. H. MDCCXXX, or as it would appear upon a house of the present day: - - H. H. - 1730. - -It is probable that by inquiry at Karlsbad, if it were worth while, the -name of the owner and date of the house might afford a certain solution -of his difficulty. The doubtful letters may be the initials of the maker -of the dial. - - GRIFFIN. - -P.S. Upon what authority does your correspondent E. H. D. D. (Vol. iv., -p. 507.) assert that "E in such compositions stands for 250?" - -_Passage in Jeremy Taylor_ (Vol. iv., p. 435.).--I have to thank your -correspondent F. A. for calling my attention to a passage in the present -edition of Jeremy Taylor, in which the bishop cites a "common saying" -concerning Repentance. I had already discovered the error which F. A. -alludes to, my attention having been called to the words in question, by -finding them quoted by Jackson (Sermon on Luke, xiii. 6. _et seq._); and -a MS. note in the margin by a former possessor of the volume gave me the -true account of the sentence. - -I am living at a distance from libraries, and without the opportunity of -examining questions; but I believe F. A. will find that he has slightly -misunderstood L'Estrange; the sentence in question _not_ being found in -Coverdale's translation of the Bible. - - C. P. E. - -_Aue Trici and Gheeze Ysenoudi_ (Vol. i., pp. 215. 267.).--These two -nuns belonged to the convent of St. Margaret at Gouda. In 1714 there -still existed in the library of that city a book entitled _Coll==tarius_ -(Commentarius) _supra Psalmos_.[2] This work, written by Peter Por of -Floref, and dedicated to John of Arckel, bishop of Utrecht, was -transcribed on parchment in the year 1454 by seven nuns of the above -convent, these were: - - Maria Joannis, - _Geza Yzenoude_, - _Aua Trici_, - Jacoba Gerardi, - Agatha Nicolai, - Maria Martini, - en Maria Gerardi. - - [Footnote 2: Sic in MSS. Legendumne co[=m]tarius?] - -On the back of the MS. is a list of the books belonging to the convent: -these were then seventy in number. - -Lambertus Wilhelmi, a monk of Sion Abbey, and director of these nuns, -composed in the year 1452 a _History of the Convent of St. Margaret at -Gouda_, by order of its superintendent, Heymanus Florentii, a monk of -'S. Gravezande. This convent was burnt in 1572 by one of Lumey's -captains, Hans Aulterman, who for his many crimes was condemned on the -11th of April, 1573, and burnt alive at the gates of Gouda. - -The Nicholas de Wit mentioned in the Query was prior of the monastery of -St. Michael, near Schoonhoven. (See further T. Walvisch, _Beschrÿving -van Gouda_, II. pp. 123-172.) - - ELSEVIER. - - Leyden, Navorscher, Jan. 1852. - -_Rev. John Paget_ (Vol. iv., p. 133.).--Of this clergyman the following -mention is made in the _Resolutions of the States General_: - - "9 January, 1607. Op te requeste van John Paget, predikand van de - Engelsche regimenten, is geordonneert de selve te stellen in - handen van den Ovesten Horace Vere, Ridder, omme ordre te stellen, - dat den suppl. van syn tractament mach worden betaelt." - - 9 January, 1607. Touching the request of John Paget, chaplain of - the English regiments, is ordained that the same be placed in the - hands of the Colonel Horace Vere, Knight, that provision may be - made for the payment of the suppliant's salary. - -From the register of a marriage celebrated at Leyden the 7th of January, -1649, between Mathys Paget, smith, and Maria Picters Del Tombe, both of -that city, it would appear that other members of the Paget family have -resided there. - - ELSEVIER. - - Leyden, Navorscher, Jan. 1852. - -The Rev. John Paget doubtless belonged to an English or Scotch family, -sometimes also called Pagett, or Pagetius. John Paget, who was the first -minister of the English church in Amsterdam, came there in 1607, and -preached his introductory sermon on the 5th of February, in the chapel -prepared for that purpose: his formal induction took place in the month -of April, in the same year, and here he remained twenty-nine years. -Thomas Paget, invited from Blackeley in England, was inducted in -November 1639, and departed the 29th of August 1646, for Shrewsbury. -Robert Paget, or Pagetius, minister of the Scotch congregation at -Dordrecht from 1638 to 1685, "was a man of extensive biblical knowledge, -but of extreme modesty." When the English church in Amsterdam was -offered him, he could not be prevailed upon to accept it. With Jacob -Borstius he lived on terms of close intimacy. - -Consult the _Kerkelÿk Alphabeth_ of Veeris, Wagenaar, _Beschrÿving van -Amsterdam_, and Balen _Beschrÿving van Dordt_; also _The History of the -Scottish Church at Rotterdam_, by the Rev. William Steven, M.A., -Edinburgh and Rotterdam, 1832, and Schotel, _Kerkelÿk Dordrecht_, vol. -i. p. 457., and the note (2), vol. ii. p. 217., where many particulars -concerning the Pagets, especially Robert, are found. It is, however, -probable that CRANMORE may obtain more information touching his family -in England than in this country. In Töcher's _Gelehrten Lexicon_ mention -is made of Ephraim, Eusebius, and Wilhelmus Paget, all of whom resided -in England. - -We also read in the _Lÿste van de Namen der Predikanten in de Provincie -van Utrecht_, by H. van Rhenen, 1705, p. 66., that Robert Paget, an -Englishman, and English preacher at Dordt, nephew of Thomas Paget, was -invited to Utrecht in 1655, but declined. He remained at Dordrecht, and -died there in 1684. - - V. D. N. - - Rotterdam, Navorscher, Jan. 1852. - -_Lines on the Bible_ (Vol. iv., p. 473.).--"Within that awful volume -lies," &c. These lines are Walter Scott's. They are spoken by the White -Lady of Avenel, in _The Monastery_. It appears that they were copied by -Lord Byron into his Bible, for they are inserted at the end of -Galignani's 1-vol. edition of Byron's Works (Paris, 1826), among the -"_attributed_ pieces," as "lines found in Lord Byron's Bible." This I -believe is the only authority on which the compiler of the volume -referred to by your correspondent can have supposed his lordship to have -been the author. In Murray's editions they have no place, nor even in -Galignani's later editions. - - B. R. I. - - [We are indebted to many other correspondents for similar - replies.] - -_Dial Mottoes_ (Vol. iv., p. 471.).--The following is an inscription -which I copied from a dial-plate in the churchyard of Kirk-Arbory, Isle -of Man: - - "Thomas Kirkall de - Bolton Fecit. - Horula dum quota sit - Quæritur hora fugit. - 1678." - -There is a coat of arms also, but the tinctures are not marked; viz. -Quarterly of three coats: first and fourth, three roundels in fess, -between two barrulets; second, on a bend three mullets; third, a chevron -between three lozenges. - - T. H. KERSLEY, B.A. - -_Martial's Distribution of Hours_ (Vol. iv., pp. 273., 332.).--I ought -perhaps to thank THEOPHYLACT for good intention in answering, not the -question I did ask, but that which he thinks I "might have asked." - -My real question was based upon an assumption, the truth of which -THEOPHYLACT denies: his reply therefore is rather a challenge to -premiss, than an answer to the question. - -I totally dissent from him in understanding "quies lassis" in any sense -short of absolute _recumbent_ repose: "finis," which he takes as the -real commencement of the siesta, I understand as its conclusion: nor am -I aware of any, except the last final quies, to which the term _finis_ -would be applicable. - -Neither can I admit, upon the authority of THEOPHYLACT, that there was -any gradual or partial cessation of business in Rome during the hour -which we call "between eleven and twelve o'clock in the forenoon." -Julius Cæsar left home, commenced the business of the senate, was -surrounded by thronging applicants, and was assassinated--all during -that hour: and, unless THEOPHYLACT can show that therefore, and on that -account, it became distasteful to succeeding emperors, he must excuse me -from admitting his interpretation. - - A. E. B. - -_Nelson's Signal_ (Vol. iv., p. 473.).--I send you Nelson's exact words -as conveyed by signal at Trafalgar, as noted down by several ships in -the fleet: - - England [253] - expects [269] - that [863] - every [261] - man [471] - will [958] - do [220] - his [370] - d [4] - u [21] - t [19] - y [24] - -Let me add, that the refrain of the best song on the Battle of -Trafalgar, gives the exact words of the signal: - - "From line to line the signal ran, - England expects that every man - This day will do his duty." - -You should have heard this chanted in the singing-days of - - W. H. S. - -_Cooper's miniature, &c._ (Vol. v. p. 17.).--I have a painting on copper -of Oliver Cromwell. It is oval, and about six inches by four. It -resembles the engravings of him which have Cooper's name attached to -them. In the distance is a "white horse," faintly sketched in. My -father, in whose possession it long was, set a very great value upon it. -I have not had sufficient opportunity to inquire--Did ever Cooper paint -in oil? - - B. G. - -_Roman Funeral Pile_ (Vol. iv., p. 381.).--The ceremony of a Roman -funeral concluded with a feast, which was usually a supper given to the -friends and relatives of the deceased; and sometimes provisions were -distributed to the people. (Vid. Adams' _Roman Hist._, 3rd edit. p. -283.) Basil Kennett, in his _Antiquities of Rome_, published 1776, -further observes (p. 361.) that-- - - "The feasts, celebrated to the honour of the deceased, were either - private or publick. The private feasts were termed _silicernia_, - from _silex and coena_, as if we should say _suppers made on a - stone_. These were prepared both for the _dead_ and the _living_. - The repast designed for the dead consisting commonly of beans, - lettuces, bread and eggs, or the like, was laid on the tomb for - the ghosts to come out and eat, as they fancied they would; and - what was left they burnt on the stone." - -No authority is cited either by Adams or Kennett for the custom, but -your correspondent _John ap William ap John_ might perhaps refer to -"_Petri Morestelli Pompa Feralis, sive justa Funebria Veterum_," with -some probability of success in finding the subject there treated at -large. - - FRANCISCUS. - -_Barrister_ (Vol. iv., p. 472.).--The derivation of this word proposed -by W. Y. can only be looked upon as a joke, as he himself seems to -regard it. "Roister" can have no more to do with it than "oyster" has -with such words as "songster, spinster, maltster, punster, tapster, -webster," &c., in which "ster" is the A.S. termination to denote one -whose business is "song, or spinning," &c. Thus from the Mediæval Latin -"barra" we get "barraster, one whose business is at the bar;" this is -confirmed by the old mode of spelling the word, viz., "barrester and -barraster." See Spelman's _Glossary_, v. Cancellarius-- - - "Dicuntur etiam _cancelli_ septa curiarum quæ _barras_ vocant; - atque inde Juris candidati causas illic agentes, Budæo - _Cancellarii_, ut nobiscum _Barrestarii_." - -And again-- - - "_Barrasterius_, Repagularis Causidicus." - - J. EASTWOOD. - -_Meaning of Dray_ (Vol. iv., p. 209.).--_Dray_ is a squirrel's nest. - - "A boy has taken three little young squirrels in their nest or - _drey_."--White's _Selborne_, p. 333. Bohn's edition. - -To which is appended the following note:-- - - "The squirrel's nest is not only called a _drey_ in Hampshire, but - also in other counties; in Suffolk it is called a bay. The word - _drey_, though now provincial, I have met with in some of our old - writers."--_Mitford_. - - PANTAGRUEL. - -_Tregonwell Frampton_ (Vol. iv., p. 474.; Vol. v., p. 16.).--In the -_History of the British Turf_, by James Christie Whyte, Esq. (London, -Colburn, 2 vols. 8vo. 1840), T. R. W. will meet with a sketch of the -life of Mr. Frampton, together with an inquiry into the truth of the -well known anecdote respecting his cruelty to his horse Dragon. Mr. -Chafin, in his _Anecdotes of Cranbourne Chase_ (London, 1818), p. 47., -refers to him, and prints one or two curious original letters from him. -Mr. Whyte illustrates his first volume by a portrait of Mr. Frampton. - - CRANMORE. - -_Vermin, Parish Payments of, &c._ (Vol. iv., p. 208.).--There is no -doubt but that nearly all country parishes paid at one time for the -destruction of different kinds of vermin; but this practice is now -entirely discontinued. The following are the prices paid twenty-five -years ago by the parish of Corsham, Wilts:-- - -Vipers, 6_d._ each; slowworms or blindworms, 3_d._ each; rats, 1_d._ -each (the tails only were required to be brought); sparrows' heads, -6_d._ per dozen, (meaning the old birds); sparrows' eggs and young -birds, 4_d._ per dozen. - -I shall never forget, when a boy, and my father was churchwarden, the -tricks the young lads and boys used to play in order to palm off other -birds' eggs and young birds for sparrows. One young rascal actually -painted the eggs very cleverly to imitate the sparrows, till I -discovered it. Young birds of all kinds were brought, and many dozens -paid for that were not sparrows; as it was impossible to tell the young -birds of many of the hard billed kinds from the sparrow. At last the -parish gave up paying for the eggs or young birds, but gave 1_s._ per -dozen for the heads of old sparrows, and vast numbers were brought -throughout the winter; and then attempts were made to substitute other -birds' heads, which were in many cases paid for. The next year the -parish agreed only to pay for the whole birds, so that no deception -could be practised. When the New Poor Law came into operation, all these -payments were stopped. Glead was a provincial term for the kite and -buzzard, the ringtail for the hen harrier hawk, and greashead or -greyhead for the female kestrel or greyheaded falcon. In most of the -Wiltshire parishes 6_d._ per head was paid for the hedgehog, as the -farmers always believed they sucked the teats of cows when laid down in -the fields. The badger was also paid for in some places. - - J. K. - - North Wilts. - -_Alterius Orbis Papa_ (Vol. iii., p. 497.).--The origin of this title -is, I think, still open to explanation, and in offering one which I find -recorded in Lambard's _Perambulation of Kent_, 1596, pp. 80, 81. I trust -the quaint but interesting style of that learned antiquary and historian -will be a sufficient excuse to your readers for its insertion at length -_verbatim et literatim_: - - "The whole Province of this Bishopricke of Canterbury, was at the - first divided by Theodorus (the seventh Bishop) into five Dioceses - only: howbeit, in processe of time it grew to twentie and one, - besides itselfe, leaving to Yorke (which by the first institution - should have had as many as it) but Durham, Carleil, and Chester - only. And whereas by the same ordinance of Gregorie, neither of - these Archbishops ought to be inferiour to other, save onely in - respect of the priority of their consecration, Lanfranc (thinking - it good reason that he should make a conquest of the English - clergie, since his maister, King William, had vanquished the whole - nation), contended at Windsor with Thomas Norman (Archbishop of - Yorke) for the primacie, and there (by judgement before Hugo, the - Pope's Legate) recovered it from him: so that ever since the one - is called _Totius Angliæ primas_, and the other _Angliæ primas_, - without any further addition. Of which judgement, one (forsooth) - hath yielded this great reason: that even as the Kentish people, - by an auncient prerogative of manhood, do challenge the first - front in each battel, from the Inhabitants of other countries; so - the Archbishop of their Shyre, ought by good congruence to be - preferred before the rest of the Bishops of the whole Realme. - Moreover, whereas before time, the place of this Archbishop in the - generall Councell was to sit next to the Bishop of Sainct - Ruffines, Anselmus, the successor of this Lanfranc (for recompence - of the good service that hee had done, in ruffling against - Priests' wives, and resisting the King for the investiture of - clerks) was by Pope Urbane endowed with this accession of honour, - that he and his Successours should from thencefoorth have place in - all generall councels, at the Pope's right foote, who then said - withall. 'Includamus hunc in orbe nostro, tanquam alterius orbis - Papam.'" - - FRANCISCUS. - -_Dido and Æneas_ (Vol. iv., p. 423.).--I beg leave to transcribe for A. -A. D. the following passage from the _Facetiæ Cantabrigiensis_, p. 95. -(London, Charles Mason, 1836): - - "Porson observing that he could pun on any subject, a person - present defied him to do so on the Latin gerunds, which however he - immediately did in the following admirable couplet: - - 'When Dido found Æneas would not come, - She mourned in silence, and was DI-DO-DUM.'" - -I have also seen these lines attributed to Porson in an old volume of -_The Mirror_. Of any other authorities I have no knowledge. - - J. S. W. - - Stockwell. - -_Compositions during the Protectorate_ (Vol. iv., pp. 406. 490.).--W. H. -L. suspects that there is an error in the list of these compositions for -Lincolnshire, as given in Oldfield's _History of Wainfleet_, and asks, -"Where is there any account or list of these?" H. F. refers W. H. L. to -a small volume entitled _A Catalogue of the Lords, Knights, and -Gentlemen that have compounded for their Estates_. London, 1655. I have -compared Oldfield's list with the reprint of the _Catalogue_ (Chester, -1733), and find that, with some slight exceptions, they agree. Oldfield, -however, omits the following compositions for Lincolnshire: - - £ _s._ _d._ - "Benson, Clement, of North Kelsey, - Gent. 120 0 0 - - Burcroft, Thomas, late of Waltham, - _pro_ Frances and Jane, his sisters 70 0 0 - - Dalton, John, late of Barton on - _Humber_ 46 0 0 - - Fines, Morris, of Christhead (Kirkstead) 50 0 0 - - Leesing, Thomas, of North Somercotes 12 7 6 - - Monson, Sir John, of South Carleton 2642 0 0 - - Moore, Alexander, of Grantham 350 0 0 - - Manson, Sir John, Jun., of North - Thorpe 133 0 0 - - Thorold, Joseph, of Boston, Gent. 96 0 0 - - Whichcoat, Edward, of Bishop's Norton, - Esq., with 50_l._ per annum - settled 513 0 0." - -There are also a few discrepancies in the amounts of the compositions, -but none of any importance. - -Roger Adams, the publisher of the edition of the _Catalogue_ printed at -Chester in 1733, says, in the preliminary address to his subscribers, -that-- - - "The Catalogue was printed five years before the miserable scene - of oppression (by sequestration) closed. To supply the defects of - it, I apply'd many ways, first to _Goldsmith's Hall_, where I was - told the latter sequestrations were generally imposed; but the - haste my friend was in, and some discouragements he met with, - rendered this application unsuccessful." - -The error which W. H. L. suspects in Oldfield's list, may probably be -corrected by application at Goldsmith's Hall. - - P. T. - -I was aware of the work, _A Catalogue, &c._, which contains also the -error alluded to at p. 406. Will H. F. be so obliging as to say from -what materials that work was compiled, and how the whole business of the -compositions was managed? Some part of it was carried on at Goldsmith's -Hall. Evelyn probably alludes to the compositions at p. 311. of vol. i. -of his _Diary_, edition of 1850. - - W. H. L. - - - - -Miscellaneous. - - -NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. - -When we consider how many indications are still discoverable, by those -who know how to look for them, of the influence which the incursions of -the Danes and Northmen into Britain have exercised upon our language, -customs, and social and political condition; and that even the most -cursory glance at the map of these islands will show in so many local -names indisputable evidence of Danish occupation--evidence which is -amply confirmed by many of our archaisms or provincialisms, our popular -customs and observances,--when these things are considered, it is -obvious that a work which should give us the result of these incursions, -if written by a competent hand, must prove of great and general -interest. Just such a book has been issued by Mr. Murray, under the -title of _An Account of the Danes and Norwegians in England, Scotland, -and Ireland_, by J. J. A. Worsaae. All who had the pleasure of making -Mr. Worsaae's acquaintance when he visited this country in 1846-47, were -aware that he possessed two qualifications essentially necessary for the -proper execution of the task which he had undertaken. For his -archæological acquirements were made patent (even to those who were -unable to study his various antiquarian publications in Danish and -German) by the English version of his _Primæval Antiquities of Denmark_; -while his thorough mastery over our language was such as to enable him -to pursue his researches into the period of our country's history which -he proposed to illustrate, without the slightest let or hindrance. With -a theme, then, which may be considered as novel as it is interesting -(for it is the first attempt to view the subject _from the Danish -side_), and with such abilities to do it justice, it is no wonder that -Mr. Worsaae has produced a work which will, we are sure, be found to -possess the double merit of not only gratifying the antiquary, but also -of interesting, instructing, and amusing the general reader. - -To form a complete Encyclopædia of Classical Antiquity, it was necessary -that to the _Dictionaries of Greek and Roman Antiquities_, and of _Greek -and Roman Biography and Mythology_, should be added a _Dictionary of -Greek and Roman Geography_. That want is in the course of being -supplied. The first Quarterly Part of such a _Dictionary_, called, for -the sake of uniformity, "_of Greek and Roman Geography_," but including -even Scriptural names, and so being in reality a _Dictionary of Ancient -Geography_, edited by Dr. Smith, written by the principal contributors -to the former works, and illustrated by numerous woodcuts, has just been -issued. It equals its predecessors in its claims to the support of all -students and lovers of classical learning; and we know no higher praise. - -We learn from _The Athenæum_ that Mr. George Stephens, the translator of -Tegner's beautiful epic _Frithiof's Saga_, and whose intimate -acquaintance with the early literature of Sweden has been shown by the -collection of legends of that country which he has edited in conjunction -with Hylten-Cavallius, and by the various works superintended by him for -the _Svenska Fornskrift-Sällskapet_, a sort of Stockholm Camden Society, -has removed to Copenhagen in consequence of his having been appointed -Professor of the English Language and Literature in the University -there. The subject of his first course of lectures--to be delivered in -the present month--is, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. After this we shall -be quite prepared to hear of a Danish translation of this masterpiece of -the Father of English Poetry, as a companion to the recently published -Swedish translations of Shakspeare. - -BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Rhymed Chronicle of Edward Manlove concerning the -Liberties and Customs of the Lead Mines within the Wapentake of -Wirksworth, Derbyshire_, &c., edited by Thomas Tapping, Esq. This little -tract (which with its valuable Glossary, List of Cases, &c., occupies -but forty pages) is an extremely curious book; and the manner in which -it has been edited reflects great credit upon Mr. Tapping.--_Neander's -General History of the Christian Religion and Church_, vol. vi., forms -the new volume of Bohn's _Standard Library_. The same indefatigable -publisher has issued, as the new volume of his Classical Library, _The -Odes of Pindar, literally translated into English Prose_, by Dawson W. -Turner, M.A.; and, as if this was not sufficient, he has added the -_Metrical Version by the late Abraham Moore_--a translation which he -pronounces, and with great justice, to be distinguished for "poetry, -scholarship, and taste." - - -BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES - -WANTED TO PURCHASE. - -JOURNAL OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF DUBLIN.

It is in the possession of these conveniences -that the capabilities of typography, and its superiority over -manuscript, mainly consist. I propose now to set down a few remarks on -this subject, in the hope that any means, however trifling they may -seem, by which literary knowledge is rendered more commodious and -accessible, will not be deemed unworthy of attention by your readers. - -With regard to the form of printed letters, it is difficult to conceive -any improvement in modern typography, as practised in Italy, France, and -England. This is equally true of Roman and Greek characters. The Greek -types introduced by Porson leave nothing to be desired. The Germans -still to a great extent retain the old black-letter type for native -works, which was universal over all the north of Europe in the early -period of printing, and is not a _national_ type, as some persons seem -to imagine. These letters being imitated from the manuscript characters -of the fifteenth century, are essentially more indistinct than the Roman -type, and have for that reason been disused by the rest of Europe, -Holland and Denmark not excepted. In England this antiquated mode of -printing was long retained for law-books, and, till a comparatively -recent date, for the statutes. The Anglo-Saxon letters are in like -manner nothing but a barbarous imitation of old manuscript characters, -and have no real connexion with the Anglo-Saxon language. Their use -ought to be wholly abandoned (with the exception of those which are -wanting in modern English). Roman numerals, likewise, as being less -clear and concise than Arabic numerals, especially for large numbers, -ought to be discarded, except in cases where it is convenient to -distinguish the volume from the page, and the book from the chapter. -English lawyers, indeed, who in general have only occasion to cite the -volume and page, invariably make their quotations with Arabic figures, -by prefixing the number of the volume, and subjoining the number of the -page. Thus, if it were wished to refer to the 100th page of the second -volume of _Barnewall and Alderson's Reports_, they would write _2 B. & -C. 100_. Roman numerals are still retained for the sections of the -statutes. - -Akin to the retention of antiquated forms of letters is the retention of -antiquated orthography. Editors of works of the sixteenth and -seventeenth centuries sometimes retain the spelling of the period, of -which Evelyn's _Diary_ is an example; but this practise is unpleasant to -the modern reader, and sometimes, particularly in proper names, -perplexes and misleads him. The modern editions of the classical writers -of that period, such as Shakspeare, Bacon, Milton, Clarendon, &c., are -very properly reduced to the modern standard of orthography, as is done -by Italian editors with the works of Dante, Boccaccio, &c. The attempt -to introduce the native orthography of foreign proper names naturalised -in English, is likewise unsuccessful, and merely offends the eye of the -reader, without giving any real information. Mr. Lane and other -Orientalists will never succeed in banishing such forms as _vizier_, -_caliph_, _cadi_, &c., nor will even Mr. Grote's authority alter the -spelling of the well-known Greek names. Names of ancient persons and -places which are enshrined in the verses of Milton and other great -poets, cannot be altered. - -The old unmeaning practice of printing every noun substantive with a -capital letter (still retained in German) has been abandoned by every -English printer, except the printer of parliamentary papers for the -House of Lords. Proper names used to be printed in italics; and -generally, the use of italics was much greater than at present. In -modern reprints, these ancient flowers of typography ought to be -removed. The convenient edition of Hobbes' _Works_, for which we are -indebted to Sir W. Molesworth, would be more agreeable to read if the -italics were less abundant. - -The use of the folio and quarto size is now generally restricted to such -books as could scarcely be printed in octavo, as dictionaries and -similar books of reference. The parliamentary blue book, which long -resisted the progress of octave civilization, is now beginning to shrink -into a more manageable size. With regard to separate volumes, the most -convenient practice is to consider them as a mere printer's division, -which may vary in different editions; and to number them consecutively, -without reference to their contents. The Germans have a very -inconvenient practice of dividing a volume into parts, each of which is -a volume in the ordinary meaning of the word; so that a work consisting -of nine volumes, for example, may be divided into four volumes, one of -which consists of three parts, and the other three of two parts each. -The result is, that every reference must specify both the volume and the -part: thus, Band II. Abtheilung III. S. 108. Frequently, too, this mode -of numbering misleads the bookbinder, who (unless properly cautioned) -numbers the volumes in the ordinary manner. - -Volumes, as I have remarked, are merely a printer's division. Every -literary composition ought, however, to have an organic division of its -own. The early Greeks seem indeed to have composed both their poems and -prose works as one continuous discourse. The rhapsodies of Homer and the -muses of Herodotus were subsequent divisions introduced by editors and -grammarians. But literary experience pointed out the commodiousness of -such breaks in a long work; and the books of the _AEneid_ and of the -_History of Livy_ were the divisions of the authors themselves. Since -the invention of printing, the books of the prose works of the classical -writers have been subdivided into chapters; while for the books of -poems, as well as for the dramas, the verses have been numbered. The -books of the Old and New Testament have likewise been portioned into -chapters, and into a late typographical division of verses. - -In making a division of his work, an author ought to number its parts -consecutively, without reference to volumes. The novels of Walter Scott -are divided into chapters, the numbering of which is dependent on the -volume; so that it is impossible to quote them without referring to the -edition, or to find a reference to them in any other edition than that -cited. For the same reason, an author ought not to quote his own book in -the text by a reference to volumes. - -The division most convenient for purposes of reference is that which -renders a quotation simple to note, and easy to verify. Divisions which -run through an entire work (such as the chapters of Gibbon's _History_) -are easy to quote, and the quotation can be easily verified when the -chapter is not long. The numbering of paragraphs in one series through -an entire work, as in the French codes, in Cobbett's writings, and in -the state papers of the Indian government, is the simplest and most -effectual division for purposes of reference. The Digest can now be -referred to by book, title, and paragraph; nevertheless the Germans -(who, notwithstanding their vast experience in the work of quoting, seem -to have a predilection for cumbrous and antiquated methods) still adhere -to the old circuitous mode of quotation, against which Gibbon long ago -raised his voice (_Decl. and Fall_, c. 44. n. 1.). - -Some works have been divided by their authors into chapters, but the -chapters have been left unnumbered. Niebuhr's _Roman History_ is in this -state. - -The internal division of a work by its author is not, however, merely -for purposes of reference. It may likewise be a _logical_ division; it -may follow the distribution of the subject, and assist the reader by -visibly separating its several parts. This process, however, may be -carried so far as to defeat its purpose (viz. perspicuity of -arrangement) by the intricacy of its divisions. Here again we must -recur for an example to the Germans, who sometimes make the compartments -of their writings as numerous as a series of Chinese boxes all fitted -into each other. First, there is the part, then the book, then the -chapter, then the section, then the article, and then the paragraph, -which is itself subdivided into paragraphs with Roman numerals and -Arabic numerals; and these again are further subdivided into paragraphs -with Roman letters, and Greek letters, and sometimes Hebrew letters. To -refer to a work divided in this manner by any other means than the -volume and page, is a labour of as hopeless intricacy as it is to follow -the logical cascade down its successive platforms. - -It is a considerable convenience where the book or chapter is marked at -the head or margin of the page; and in histories, or historical memoirs, -chronological notation is very convenient. - -In general no book (not being a book arranged in alphabetical order, as -a dictionary, encyclopedia, &c.) ought to be printed without a _table of -contents_. The trouble to the author of making a table of contents is -very small, and the expense to the publisher in printing it is in -general imperceptible. Modern English books rarely sin in this respect; -foreign books, however, both French and German, are frequently wanting -in a table of contents. The invaluable collection of the fragments of -Greek historians lately published in Didot's Series--a work -indispensable to every critical student of ancient history--has no table -of contents, referring to the pages, prefixed to each volume. The _Poetae -Scenici Graeci_ of Dindorf is without a table of contents; and a similar -want is a serious drawback to the use of the cheap and portable edition -of the Greek and Latin classics published by Tauchnitz at Leipsic. - -Lastly, an _index_ adds materially to the value of every work which -contains numerous and miscellaneous facts. The preparation of a good -index is a laborious and sometimes costly task; the printing of it, -moreover, adds to the price of the book. Many of the indexes to the -English law-books are models of this species of labour; the indexes in -the Parliamentary Reports are likewise prepared with great care and -intelligence. Even a meagre index, however, is better than no index at -all; and where the publisher's means, and the demand for the book, do -not admit of the preparation of a copious index of subjects, an -alphabetical list of names of persons and places would often be an -acceptable present to the reader of an historical or scientific work. - - L. - - -CAXTON MEMORIAL. - -The inquiries addressed to me by Mr. BOLTON CORNEY in your paper of the -15th of November appear to amount to this:--Whether the whole or part of -the expense of his proposed volume will be defrayed out of the fund -appropriated to the Caxton Memorial? To this question, so far as my own -information extends, I can only give a negative reply. The Society of -Arts, in compliance with a request preferred to them by the subscribers -at their last meeting, have accepted the charge of the Caxton Fund; and -it is sufficient, for my present purpose, to state that negociations are -now in progress between the Council and the Dean and Chapter, for -liberty to erect a suitable memorial within the precincts of Westminster -to the memory of William Caxton. This is as it should be; the memorial, -be it what it may, statue, obelisk or fountain, or even a niche in a -wall, should be substantial and enduring, calculated to remind the -passing stranger that within the precincts of Westminster, William -Caxton first exercised in England the art of printing. This circumstance -forms one of those epochs in the history of civilisation which deserve -public commemoration; and any memorial of Caxton should be placed as -near as possible to the scene of his literary labours. - -Mr. BOLTON CORNEY says, that I seem to regard his project with somewhat -less of disfavour. Now I do not wish to be misunderstood. As a -substitute for the Caxton Memorial, originally proposed at the great -meeting over which the Earl of Carlisle presided, I am disposed to -reject it altogether, for reasons which I have already stated in your -columns. But as a literary undertaking I am willing to give it a fair -consideration upon its own merits. The apothegm that a man's best -monument consists in his own works, is capable of considerable -modification from the nature of the works themselves. In the case before -us, I believe the interest felt by the public in the works of Caxton to -be too limited to justify the republication of his collected works. The -proposal which Mr. CORNEY makes for a selection from those works, with a -new life of the author, and a glossary, the latter proving how much they -are out of date, is much more feasible than his original plan. There is -a Caxton Society which has already issued several publications, and -whose usefulness would be materially increased by such a publication as -that suggested by Mr. CORNEY, if the Society to which he alludes (the -Camden, I presume) should not be disposed to undertake it. The true -object of these and similar societies is the production of books of -interest and value, which are not sufficiently popular to justify a -bookseller, or an individual, in incurring the pecuniary risk of their -separate publication. Mr. CORNEY's literary memorial of Caxton appears -to me to come under this head, and as such might be properly undertaken -by any of the clubs or societies formed for the cultivation of early -English literature. He might perhaps more easily attain the object of -his wishes in this manner than by that which he has hitherto pursued. -When a selection is to be made from the works of any author, much will -depend upon the taste and discretion of the editor. Now I gather from -Mr. CORNEY's letter, that he is fully prepared to undertake that office -himself; and I may be permitted to add that his scrupulous accuracy and -unwearied diligence afford the best guarantee that the work will be -executed in such a manner as to fully satisfy the public interest in -Caxton, and to form a graceful and appropriate tribute to the -illustrious father of the English press. - - BERIAH BOTFIELD. - - Norton Hall, Jan. 3. 1852. - - -SETTLE'S FEMALE PRELATE, OR POPE JOAN; A TRAGEDY. - -I have not seen it anywhere noticed that this play, printed under -Elkanah Settle's name, with a long dedication by him to the Earl of -Shaftsbury, in 1680, 4to., was certainly a mere alteration of an old -play on the same subject. It is impossible for any one to read many -pages of it, without seeing everywhere traces of a much more powerful -hand than "poor Elkanah's," although he needed no assistance in managing -the ceremony of pope-burning. Take at random the following quotation, -which is much more like Middleton's or Decker's than the debased style -after the Restoration: - - "_Saxony._ And art thou then in earnest? - Come, prithee, speak: I was to blame to chide thee; - Be not afraid; speak but the fatal truth, - And by my hopes of heav'n I will forgive thee. - Out with it, come; now wouldst thou tell me all, - But art ashamed to own thyself a bawd: - 'Las, that might be thy father's fault, not thine. - Perhaps some honest humble cottage bred thee, - And thy ambitious parents, poorly proud, - For a gay coat made thee a page at court, - And for a plume of feathers sold thy soul; - But 'tis not yet, not yet too late to save it. - - _Amir._ Oh, my sad heart! - - _Sax._ Come, prithee, speak; let but - A true confession plead thy penitence, - And Heaven will then forgive thee as I do. - - _Amir._ But, Sir, can you resolve to lend an ear - To sounds so terrible, so full of fate, - As will not only act a single tragedy, - But even disjoint all Nature's harmony, - And quite untune the world? for such, such are - The notes that I must breathe. - - _Sax._ Oh, my dear murderer, - Breathe 'em as cheerfully as the soaring lark - Wakes the gay morn. Those dear sweet airs that kill me - Are my new nuptial songs. My Angeline - Has been my first, and Death's my second bride." - - _Fem. Prel._ p. 58. - -Or the following: - - "_Sax._ Carlo, she must die; - The softest heart that yon celestial fire - Could ever animate, must break and die. - We are both too wretched to outlive this day; - And I but send thee as her executioner. - - _Carlo._ I flie to obey you, Sir. - - _Sax._ Stay, Carlo, stay; - Why all this haste to murder so much innocence? - Yet, thou must go. And since thy tongue must kill - The brightest form th' enamoured stars can e'er - Receive, or the impoverisht world can lose. - Go, Carlo, go; but prithee wound her soul - As gently as thou canst; and when thou seest - A flowing shower from her twin-orbs of light - All drown the faded roses of her cheeks; - When thou beholdst, 'midst her distracted groans, - Her furious hand, that feeble, fair revenger, - Rend all the mangled beauties of her face. - Tear her bright locks, and their dishevell'd pride - On her pale neck, that ravisht whiteness, fall; - Guard, guard thy eyes: for, Carlo, 'tis a sight - Will strike spectators dead."--_Fem. Prel._ p. 61. - -In the _Biog. Dram._ (vol. iii. p. 237.), it is stated that the same -play, with the same title, was printed in 4to., 1689, except that it was -there said to be written by a person of quality. The play is, however, -claimed by Settle in his dedication to Lord Shaftsbury, prefixed to the -edition of 1680, now before me. I do not, however, believe he had more -to do with it than in adapting it, as he did _Philastes_, for -representation. The only question seems to be by whom the original play -was written? This I will not at present attempt to decide, though I -entertain a strong opinion on the subject, but will leave it to be -resolved by the critical acumen of your readers. - - JAS.

We -gain through them an accurate idea of party spirit, are brought into -more immediate communion with the opinions of the times to which they -refer, and can thus trace more closely the means by which parties -worked, were consolidated, and advanced their schemes. Even from their -personalities, we gain some gleams of truth. In this case, I am assured -that perfect copies of the work are _very scarce_. I cannot find that -any other copy has recently been offered for sale.

His -natural abilities and attainments, combined with political influence, -readily obtained for him, at an early age, the post of Procureur-General -to the Parliament at Metz. But a dissolute life soon brought on its -consequent evils--duties neglected and discreditable debts--and he was -compelled to sell his appointment. The proceeds were insufficient, and -he had recourse to forgery to satisfy his creditors. To be successful in -such a case, more than ability is required. Le Noble was suspected, -arrested, confined in the Chatelet, and condemned to nine years' -imprisonment. Upon his appeal, he was removed to the Conciergerie, a -place destined to become another scene in his life of uniform villainy. -Gabrielle Perreau, known under the name of "La Belle Epiciere," was -confined here at the instigation of her husband, who indulged in the -hope of thus reforming her disorderly conduct. But a prison is hardly a -school of reformation, and La Belle Epiciere and Le Noble were not -characters to receive, even in monastic seclusion, any such impression. -He won her affections, or the mastery over her passions: the husband, -frantic with jealous rage, obtained for himself the satisfaction of -immuring her in a convent of his own selection. From this she escaped, -and joined Le Noble, who had similarly evaded the vigilance of his -keepers. By living in the vilest and least frequented quarters of Paris, -by disguises, false names, and constant changes of residence, they -succeeded in baffling the pursuit of the police for three years, when Le -Noble was accidentally discovered; the judgment of the Chatelet was -confirmed, and he was reconducted to prison. It was then that his great -resources were displayed. He retained his gaiety, and assured his -friends he still enjoyed "une parfaite tranquillite d'esprit, -inseparable de l'innocence!" A man of this kind, with a venal and -capacious intellect, and a heart utterly unconscious of the slightest -moral feeling, could not with advantage be suffered to remain -unemployed. There was work to be done for James II., and the hireling -was worthy of his hire. It was simply to lie and libel with ability, -with caution, with the appearance of loyalty, and an ardent zeal for -religion. Le Noble was equal to the task. He had written histories burnt -by the hangman; Bayle had praised him for his skill in judicial -astrology; he had composed treatises on money, and on Catholic doctrine; -compiled historical romances, and translated the Psalms of David! In -poetry he had attempted to rival La Fontaine; written the Eulogy of the -Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and translated Persius,--substituting -French customs for the Roman, and praising, or censuring, his -contemporaries as though he were the Roman poet and not the Paris -scribe! An ability so various was at least well paid. He received from -the booksellers, and others by whom he was retained, a hundred pistoles -a month; Peignot states, in all, about one hundred thousand crowns. -There cannot be the least doubt this was but a portion of his earnings, -or that the work I have described was not written for the Jacobite -interest of James II. But no success in such characters is ever -accompanied with prudence. Although the penalty of banishment from -France was suspended, that his venal abilities might assist the designs -of others, he was always living between luxury and the direst want. As -he advanced in years, he was less useful, and was consequently driven -from doors where he had formerly been welcomed. D'Argenson allowed him a -louis-d'or for charity per week; but all other resources failed, until, -in his sixty-eighth year, after a long period of misery, and of the -uttermost mental and bodily degradation, he died on the 31st January, -1711, and was buried at the communal expense. It cannot be denied that -Le Noble united many pleasing qualities as a writer. He had read much, -could condense ably, and united to a strong memory a rare facility in -employing its resources. He touched with light ridicule the weaker -points of a case, and could wield both reason, sarcasm and polished -inuenda in misstating facts, or damaging the argument of his -adversaries. Such a man was well adapted to the French advisers of -James. Public attention was to be engaged and won by falsehoods in the -disguise of truth; bad designs were to be cloaked under moral purposes; -and the revolution was to be discredited in the name of loyalty and -religion. All this Le Noble did with infinite ability, and infinite -obliquity. I can give but a slight sketch of his work. The _Couronnement -de Guillemot_ is a violent tirade against William. Marforio and Pasquin -converse about his coronation, and the king is described as one "qui -vouloit estre le bourreau du Prince de Galles." Churchill is "l'infame -comble de tant de bienfaitz par son bon maitre, et qui l'a vendu, trahi -et livre." In the decorations of the abbey, consisting of tapestry, &c., -there is stated to be a representation of Pilate placing Jesus Christ -and Barabbas before the people, and the choice of Barabbas by the -latter; James occupying, in Le Noble's opinion, the place of the former. -The people he describes as preferring even "ce voleur public, ce -scelerat, ce seditieux de Barabbas, ce meurtrier qui a poignarde les -_Withs_ (Witts), a cet aimable maistre qui n'a jamais eu pour eux que de -la douceur et de la bonte." The _Sermon du grand Docteur Burnet_ is very -clever, light, pungent, and satirical, especially against the king: the -text being "Dominus regnavit, exultet terrae, laetentur insulae." In the -_L'Ombre de Monmouth_, William is described as wishing to be "le singe -du glorieux Cromwell;" Portland, Shrewsbury, Burnet, and Dykvelt, are -"ses quatre Evangelistes;" and the king is made to utter violent -complaints against the Parliament, which he calls "une etrange beste," -and adds: "Si je n'avois pas casse celui que j'ai rompu pour en -convoquer un autre, toutes mes affaires s'en alloient sens dessus -dessous." In the _Estrennes d'Esope_, which was burnt by order of the -States-General, there is the following description of England: - - "L'Angleterre sous son Roi legitime et ne lui donnant qu'avec - epargne comme elle faisoit le necessaire pour son entretien, - estoit justement comme ces sages et vertueuses femmes qui, fideles - a leurs epoux, gouvernen avec un prudent economie leur menage - regle, et cette mesme Angleterre, qui s'epuise pour satisfaire a - l'avidite d'un tyran, est aujourd'hui comme une de ces infames - debauchees qui, emportee de fureur pour une adultere qui l'enleve - a son mari, lui fait une profusion criminelle de son bien." - -In illustrations such as these, Le Noble was most happy, as with the -vice he was most familiar. The length of this paper precludes my sending -to you a pasquinade, in the epitaph written for Innocent XI., which, -considering its purport, is of value as indicating the opinions of the -Jacobites against the policy of the Pope. This I will do in another -paper. - - S. H. - - -CALAMITIES OF AUTHORS. - -The miseries and disappointments of the literary life are proverbial: - - "Toil, envy, want, the patron and the gaol." - -To these "calamities of authors," I wish to add a new, and as yet -unrecorded trial, incidental to this age of cheap postage and -extravagant puffs. I am myself _a small author_, and have written on -theology and antiquarianism; and my publisher's shelves know the weight -of my labours. Conceive then my delight, a few weeks ago, at receiving a -"confidential" letter from B. D., requesting the immediate transmission -of my theological tomes to a country address; on the representation -that, although B. D. well knew that my writings had been favourably -received, he judged that "striking recommendations at this moment in -influential journals to which he had reviewing access during the -parliamentary recess, would prove of essential service." I wrote to my -publisher, who coolly answered that it was "no go;" and I even stood the -tempting shock of a second application from B. D., remonstratively -hinting that, but for the non-arrival of the volumes, a notice would -have appeared that very week in an "important quarter." The hopeful mind -has difficulty in settling down into a belief that men deceive. - -Not a month had elapsed before I received another letter, sealed with -such a signet as in size would rival the jewel sometimes seen pendent -from the waistcoat pocket of a Jew broker on Saturday, and engraven with -evidence of illustrious lineage, if quarterings be only half true. I did -not break this magnificent seal, but I tore open the envelope, and I -found that my antiquarian researches had been most flatteringly -estimated by a gentleman with a double surname, which happened to be -familiar to me. The communication was, of course, "private;" and it -expressed the writer's knowledge, from hearsay, of the "value, merit, -and ability" of my book, and the satisfaction it would afford my -correspondent, to give it a "handsome an elaborate review in both the -widely circulating and reviewing publications with which he had the -honour of being connected." A copy of my work was to be sent to his own -address, or to that of his bookseller: or, even a third course was -obligingly opened to me--"he would send his man-servant to my publisher -for the volume!" I sent the book, and the same day communicated with the -head of the family who legally bore this very handsome name used by my -correspondent, and he told me that he had just received 5_l._ worth of -books from a great house in "the Row," which were obviously designed to -be the response to an application from the gentleman with a large seal, -who was "an impostor." This may be so; but I have received an -acknowledgement for the receipt of my little work, so kind and courtly -in its tone, that I do not even yet quite despair of one day reading the -promised "handsome and elaborate review." - - A SMALL AUTHOR. - - -FOLK LORE. - -_Valentine's Day--Superstition in Devonshire._--The peasants and others -believe that if they go to the porch of a church, waiting there till -half-past twelve o'clock on the eve of St. Valentine's day, with some -hempseed in his or her hand, and at the time above-named then proceed -homewards, scattering the seed on either side, repeating these lines-- - - "Hempseed I sow, hempseed I mow, - She (or he) that will my true love be, - Come rake this hempseed after me;"-- - -his or her true love will be seen behind, raking up the seed just sown, -in a winding-sheet. Do any of your readers know the origin of this -superstitious custom? - - J. S. A. - - Old Broad Street. - -_Fairies._--An Irish servant of mine, a native of Galway, gave me the -following relations:--Her father was a blacksmith and for his many acts -of benevolence to benighted travellers became a great favourite with the -fairies, who paid him many visits. It was customary for the fairies to -visit his forge at night, after the family had retired to rest, and here -go to work in such right good earnest, as to complete, on all occasions, -the work which had been left overnight unfinished. The family were on -these occasions awoke from their slumber by the vigorous puffing of -bellows, and hammering on anvil, consequent upon these illustrious -habits of the fairies, and it was an invariable rule for the fairies to -replace all the tools they had used during the night; and, moreover, if -the smithy had been left in confusion the previous evening, the "good -people" always arranged it, swept the floor, and restored everything to -order before the morning. I never could glean from her any detailed -instances of the labour accomplished in this way, or indeed anything -which might aid in the formation of an estimate of the relative skill of -the fairies in manual labour; and I must confess that on these subjects -I never question too closely,--the reader will know why. - -On one occasion, one of the family happening to be unwell, the father -went back to the smithy at midnight for some medicine which had been -left there on the shelf, and put the "good people" to flight, just as -they had begun their industrial orgies. To disturb the fairies is at any -time a perilous thing; and so it proved to him: for a fat pig died the -following day, little Tike had the measles, too, after, and no end of -misfortunes followed. In addition to this occult revenge, the inmates of -the house were kept awake for several nights by a noise similar to that -which would be produced by peas being pelted at the windows. The -statement was made with an earnestness of manner which betrayed a faith -without scruples. - - SHIRLEY HIBBERD. - - -Minor Notes. - -_Lines in Whispering Gallery at Gloucester Cathedral._--The following -verse is inscribed in the Whispering Gallery of Gloucester Cathedral; to -preserve it, and as a "Note" to the fourth stanza of the "Ditty" I -inserted in Vol iv., p. 311., I copied it for "N. & Q." - - "Doubt not but God who sits on high, - Thy secret prayers can hear; - When a dead wall thus cunningly - Conveys soft whispers to the ear." - - H.

N. - - - - -Queries. - - -BURNING OF THE JESUITICAL BOOKS AT PARIS. - -The Quarterly Reviewer who endeavours in the number just published to -establish the claim of Thomas Lord Lyttelton to the authorship of -Junius, instances the following coincidence in support of his theory:-- - - "Junius tells us directly, 'I remember seeing Busenbaum, Suarez, - Molina, and a score of other Jesuitical books, burnt at Paris, for - their sound casuistry by the hands of the common hangman.' _We may - assume_ that this took place in 1764, as it was in that year that - Choiseul suppressed the Jesuits. Thomas Lyttelton was on the - continent during the whole of 1764, and for part of that time - resided at Paris."[1] - - [Footnote 1: [The burning of the books referred to by BIFRONS not - Junius (unless it be proved that JUNIUS and BIFRONS are one, which - is not yet universally admitted), took place on 7th August, 1761. - See a very curious note on the subject in Bohn's recently - published edition of _Junius_, vol. ii. pp. 175-6.--ED. "N. & - Q."]] - -But the orders of the parliament of Paris against the Jesuits, one of -which condemned some thirty of their books to be burnt, were issued -three years before the suppression of their order in France, viz., in -the early part and summer of 1761. That Thomas Lyttelton could then have -been in Paris is highly improbable; he was only seventeen, and it was a -time of war. Will any one take the trouble to ascertain where Francis -was? I believe he was appointed secretary to the Portuguese embassy in -1760, and returned to London in 1763. - - H. MERIVALE. - - -GRANTHAM ALTAR CASE. - -An old book now lies before me, intituled _England's Reformation from -the time of King Henry VIII. to the end of Oates's Plot, a Poem in four -Cantos, with large Marginal Notes according to the Original. By Thomas -Ward. London: Printed for W. B. and sold by Thomas Bickerton, in Little -Britain._ 1716. - -In Canto IV., and beginning at p. 353., there is an account of a brawl -in the parish church of Grantham, anno 1627, arising, as appears by a -marginal note, out of circumstances connected with the "removal of the -Communion table from the upper part of the quire to the altar place." A -master alderman Wheatley, assisted by "an innkeeper fat as brawn," and -"a bow-legged tailor that was there," appears to have taken an active -part in the scuffle which ensued upon the vicar's persisting in his -determination. The alderman and his mob seem to have been triumphant on -this occasion, for we read, p. 356.: - - "The alderman, by help of rabble, - Brought from the wall communion table; - Below the steps he plac'd it, where - It stood before, in midst of quire." - -A pamphlet war followed; for there was immediately _A Letter to the -Vicar of Grantham about setting his Table altarwise_. In answer to this -came _A Coal from the Altar_; which was in its turn assailed by _The -Quench Coal out_, and _The Holy Table, Name and Thing_ (said to have -been written by Williams, Bishop of Lincoln.) A Dr. Pocklington (who was -he?) espoused the side of the Altar party, and published his _Altare -Christianum_. During this literary contest the vicar appears to have -died, and, some twelve months after his death, out comes _The Dead -Vicar's Plea_. - -The affair seems to have created what we should now call a great -sensation in the "religious world:" for, says our author: - - "Scarce was a pen but what has try'd, - And books flew out on every side, - Till ev'ry fop set up for wit, - And Laud, and Hall and Heylin writ, - And so did White and Montague, - And Shelford, Cousins, Watts, and Dow, - Lawrence and Forbis, and a crew - Whose names would"---- - -Master Ward did not like these men, and therefore I omit his rather -uncharitable conclusion. - -Is there any record left of the notable quarrel, which appears to have -engaged the attention and pens of some of the learned men of the age? -Perhaps some of your correspondents at Grantham could throw some light -upon this question. - - L. L. L. - - Kirton-in-Lindsey. - - [This celebrated altar controversy occurred during the reign of - Charles I., and its origin will be found in Clarendon's _History - of the Rebellion_. The Puritans contended that the proper place - for the table, when the eucharist was administered, was in the - body of the church before the chancel door, and to be placed - _tablewise_, and not _altarwise;_ that is, that one of the _ends_ - of the table was to be placed towards the east, so that one of the - larger sides might be to the north, the priest being directed to - stand at the north side, and not at the north _end_ of the table. - The Church party, on the contrary, contended that as the - Injunctions ordered that the table should stand where the altar - used to stand, it should consequently be placed as the altar was. - This matter was the source of much violent contention, and tracts - were published neither remarkable for courtesy of language nor for - accurate statements of facts. It appears to have originated in a - dispute between Mr. Titly, the Vicar of Grantham, and his - parishioners, respecting the proper place for the table. The vicar - insisted that it ought to stand at the upper end of the chancel, - against the east wall. Some of the parishioners contended that it - should stand in the body of the church. The vicar removed it from - that situation, and placed it in the chancel. The alderman of the - borough and others replaced it in its former situation, when a - formal complaint was made to the bishop (Williams). In 1627 the - bishop published his judgment on the question, in _A Letter to the - Vicar of Grantham_. The visitation of 1634 tempted Peter Heylyn to - republish this _Letter_, together with an answer under the title - of _A Coal from the Altar_, &c. Williams replied in 1637 by a - treatise entitled _The Holy Table, Name and Thing, more anciently - and literally used under the New Testament than that of Altar_. - Heylyn rejoined by his _Antidotum Lincolniense; or an Answer to a - Book entitled "The Holy Altar, Name and Thing," &c._ The bishop - was preparing for his further vindication, when he was prevented - by his troubles in the Star Chamber, in consequence of which his - library was seized. "And how," says Hacket, "could he fight - without his arms? or, how could the bell ring when they had stolen - away the clapper?" During the controversy Dr. Pocklington, - Chaplain in Ordinary to the King, published his _Altare - Christianum; or, the Dead Vicar's Plea, wherein the Vicar of - Grantham being dead yet speaketh, and pleadeth out of Antiquity - against him that hath broken down his Altar_, 4to. 1637. The best - historical notice of this controversy is given in Hacket's _Life - of Archbishop Williams_, pt. ii. pp. 99-109., and was particularly - referred to by the counsel on the Cambridge stone altar case, - 1844-1845, as well as by Sir Herbert Jenner Fust in his judgment - on it.] - - -MEANING OF GROOM. - -In investigating the descent of two Devonshire families, I save met with -four instances of persons designating themselves as _groom_. They were -certainly well connected, and in fortune apparently much above the class -of people who accept the care of horses in this present day. - -If they were grooms of horses, society was in a very different state -from that in which it is at the present day; if they were not such -grooms, what then were they? I believe they were unmarried persons. -First, there is Samuel Weeks, of South Tawton, groom; will proved in the -Archdeacon of Exeter's Court, 1639. His father was Richard Weeks, styled -gentleman in the parish register; and Samuel Weeks signs his name in a -peculiarly fine Italian hand, that I do not remember to have seen in any -instance of that time except in that of a thorough gentleman. - -Francis Kingwell, of Crediton, groom. His will was proved in the -Bishop's Court in 1639; his sister married a Richard Hole, of South -Tawton, yeoman of substance; her second husband was John Weeks, of South -Tawton, gentleman, and his sons were gentlemen. These Weekses were, I -doubt not, nearly related to the Wykes or Weeks, of North Wyke, in the -same parish, a family of great antiquity. - -Thirdly, here is John Hole, of South Tawton, groom, 1640. His inventory -is 180_l._, of which 4_l._ was for his clothes, whereas a gentleman in -one case in this neighbourhood has his clothes valued at ten shillings; -Kingwell's inventory was the same. - -Robert Hole, of Zeal Monachorum, groom, is the fourth instance. His will -was proved at Westminster in 1654; he was the son of a wealthy yeoman, -and his brother, Thomas Hole, was a gentleman. - -I trouble you that I may learn, through your kindness, whether _groom_, -in these instances, was used with the meaning which we attach to it; or -at that time, or in the English language, or the vernacular tongue of -central Devonshire, meant anything else. - - E. DAVIS PROTHEROE. - - -Minor Queries. - -_Gregentius and the Jews in Arabia Felix._-- - - "We have a remarkable instance to this purpose in ecclesiastical - history, which is attested by many and great authors. It seems, - about 400 years after our Saviour's ascension, one Gregentius, a - bishop, endeavoured the conversion of those Jews which lived in - Arabia Felix. After a tedious disputation of three days' - continuance some of the Jews desired the bishop to show them Jesus - alive, and it would convince them. Immediately upon this the earth - began to tremble, and the sky to shine and echo with lightnings - and thunder. After these ceased, the gates of the celestial palace - opened, and a bright serene cloud appeared, darting forth beams of - an extraordinary lustre. At last our blessed Saviour showed - himself walking on this bright cloud, and a voice was heard from - this excellent glory saying, 'I am He who was crucified by your - fathers.' This glorious appearance cast all the Jews prostrate on - the ground, and, beating their breasts, they cried with a loud - voice, 'Lord have mercy on us!' and afterwards were baptised into - the faith of Christ."--_Sermons_ by John March, B.D., late Vicar - of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. 2nd ed. 1699, p. 235. - -Who are the "many and great authors" who have attested this -extraordinary apparition? - - E.

The point left in doubt by this, is whether a single weight -was substituted for tension, or whether the different notes in the -musical scale were produced by altering the weight according to the -rules for that purpose. - -Was Plenius an ancient, a Middle-Age man, or was he _Herr Plen_, who -latinized his name, as was the fashion a century or two ago? - - T. - -_Epigram on Burnet._--A friend of mine across the Atlantic wishes to -ask, whether any one knows where the following epigram, which he -remembers in MS. in an old folio copy of Burnet's _History_, comes -from:-- - - "If Heaven is pleas'd when sinners cease to sin, - If Hell is pleas'd when sinners enter in, - If men are pleas'd at parting with a knave, - Then all are pleas'd--for Burnet's in his grave." - - C.

The work I allude to was illustrated by numerous spirited -engravings (supposed to have been executed on _pewter_), and of which I -possess several hundred, which had been cut out of the letter-press -which surrounded the prints, and bought at a stall in London many years -back.

When the Duchess of Cleveland was taunted by her companions, - Moll Davis (Lady Mary Davis) and others, that she might soon have - to deplore the loss of that beauty which was then her boast, the - small-pox at that time raging in London, she made a reply to this - effect,--that she had no fear about the matter, for she had had a - disorder which would prevent her from ever catching the small-pox. - This was lately communicated by a gentleman in this county, but - unfortunately he could not recollect from what author he gained - his intelligence." - -Can any reader of "N. & Q." supply this missing authority for a fact -which is very important in the history of medicine--if true? - - ONETWOTHREE. - -_Arms of Manchester._--What are the arms of Manchester? and are they of -ancient usage? or only assigned to the town since its incorporation? and -if the latter, whence did the bearings originate? - - H.

Mr. Braithwaite, of Great Russell Street, was the auctioneer -employed at Enmore, and an inquiry was made of him at the time relative -to these MSS., and the answer was, that they also were destined to the -hammer.

Where was the first edition printed? Is any -copy in existence which possesses the _original_ title-page, i.e. _not_ -the one added in England, stating that it is translated from the "Douche -and Latyn?" - - H. H. H. V. - - [We have submitted H. H. H. V.'s Query to our obliging - correspondent, GEORGE OFFOR, ESQ., whose library is particularly - rich in early English versions of the Bible, and who has kindly - favoured us with the following communication]:-- - -In reply to your correspondent H. H. H. V.'s very curious question to -know when Myles Coverdale _commenced_ his translation, I beg to state -that he was born in 1488, and that it has not yet been discovered when -his mind was first led to contemplate the translation of the Sacred -Scriptures, nor whether he _commenced_ with the New or the Old -Testament. The facts known are, that he finished the translation or the -printing of it on the 4th day of October, 1535,--probably at Cologne, -because other books printed there about that time have the same -initials, wood-cuts, and type. A copy, with the original title-page, is -in the Holkham library, having, on the reverse, part of the list of -books, showing that originally it was without a dedication; this has the -words, "Douche and Latyn." When the dedication was printed, this title -was cancelled and a new one printed, still with the words "Douche and -Latyn," with the reverse blank. A fine copy of this is in the possession -of Earl Jersey, and one with the title-page repaired is in the British -Museum. Perfect copies have a map of Palestine. In 1537, this book was -reprinted, both in folio and quarto, probably at Antwerp, and in these -the words "from the Douche and Latyn" were very properly omitted, -Coverdale being still living to see them through the press; these are -ornamented with large initial letters with a dance of death, and are the -rarest volumes in the English language. In these the dedication is -altered from Queen Anne to Queen Jane, as the wife of Henry VIII. They -were all dedicated to the king and to the queen; the two latter are all -in Old English type. These were followed by an edition dedicated to -Edward VI. in a Swiss type, 4to., printed at Zurich by Chr. Froschover, -and published under three titles--1st, as the translation of Thos. -Matthewe; 2nd, as the translation of Myles Coverdale, London, by Andrew -Hester, 1550; and 3rd, London, by Jugge, 1553. These are books of great -rarity, and may be all seen in my library by any of your readers, -sanctioned by a note from you or any minister of religion. My first -edition has several uncut leaves. - -The introduction of the words "from the Douche (meaning Luther's German) -and Latyn" has never been accounted for; they probably were inserted by -the German printer to make the volume more popular, so as to interest -reformers by the German of Luther, and Romanists by the Vulgate Latin. -The translation is certainly from the Hebrew and Greek, compared with -Luther's and the Vulgate. - - GEORGE OFFOR. - - Grove Street, Victoria Park. - -_Age of the Oak._--The late Queries respecting the age of trees, remind -me of some lines of which I have been long in search-- - - "The monarch oak, the patriarch of the trees, - Shoots rising up, and spreads by slow degrees: - Three centuries he grows, and three he stays - Supreme in state; and in three more decays." - -I think it probable that they are from a play of Dryden or Otway; but -some of your readers may probably be able to answer this Query. - - T. C. - - Durham. - - [In Richardson's _Dictionary_, as well as in the _Encyclopaedia - Metropolitana_, these lines are quoted under the word _Patriarch_, - as from _The Cock and the Fox_, by Dryden; whereas Bysshe, in his - _Art of English Poetry_, under the word _Oak_, refers us to - Dryden's _Ovid_. In neither of these pieces do they occur; our - correspondent, however, will find them in Dryden's _Palamon and - Arcite, or the Knight's Tale_, line 2334.] - -_Olivarius._--Can any of your readers inform me what is the title of a -book written by Olivarius, a French astrologer, 1542, in which there is -a prophecy relative to France, and somewhat similar to that of St. -Caesarius (p. 471.)? What was his christian name, and in what library is -the work to be found? - - CLERICUS D. - - Dublin. - - [Maittaire, in his _Annales Typograph._, tom. v. pt. ii. p. 102., - notices the following work: "Olivarius (Petrus Joannes) Valentinus - de Prophetia. Basileae ex officina Joannis Oporini, 1543, mense - Augusto." From the catalogues of the British Museum and the - Bodleian, it does not appear to be in either of these libraries.] - -_Vincent Bourne's Epilogus in Eunuchum Terentii._--Will any of your -readers inform me whether an Epilogue to the _Eunuch_ of Terence, -written by V. Bourne, and spoken in 1746, has ever been printed in any, -and what, edition of Bourne's _Poems_? Gnatho appears on the stage, -dressed as a recruiting sergeant, with several recruits, and thus -begins: - - "Siste--tace--Gnatho sum Miles, cum gloria cives - Evocat ad Martem, quis parasitus erit? - Aut quis venari coenas et prandia malit, - Nobile cui stimulet pectus honoris amor?" - -And the concluding lines are: - - "Arma viros facient--Vosmet simul arma geratis, - Seribatis, jubeo, protinus armigeros: - Hac lege, ut conclametis, Rex Vivat; idemque - Tu repetas, Stentor noster, utraque manu." - -This epilogue is in my possession in MS., the handwriting of my father, -who was, in 1746, a scholar of Westminster College. It should seem, from -a letter written to the _Gentleman's Magazine_ by the late Archdeacon -Nares, in April, 1826, and reprinted in Nichols's _Illustrations_, vol. -vii. p. 656., that he was in possession of a copy, as he there tenders -it to the editor of the sixth edition of _Bourne_, which had then (1826) -recently issued from the Oxford press. - - W. S. - - Richmond, Surrey. - - [The Epilogue referred to will be found in the beautiful edition - of Vinny Bourne's _Poems_, published by Pickering in 1840, and in - the _Gentleman's Magazine_, May, 1826, p. 450, where, however, the - first line reads-- - - 'Siste, tace; Gnatho sum Miles, cum gloria _pulchra_,' &c.] - -_Burton, Bp., Founder of Schools, &c., at Loughborough, co. -Leicester._--Can any of your genealogical readers give a clue to his -family, and their armorial bearings? - - J. K. - - [Thomas Burton was a French merchant, not a prelate. A short - notice of him and his gifts will be found in the _Reports of - Commissioners of Inquiry into Charities_, and in Carlisle's - _Endowed Charities_; but no account of his family has been given - by his namesake, William Burton, in his _History of - Leicestershire_, or by Nichols in his _History_.] - -_Hoo._--What is the meaning of this word? In Bedfordshire there are two -houses and estates called by this name, Luton Hoo and Pertenhall Hoo; -and in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Kent are villages so called. - - ARUN. - - [Luton Hoo, in Bedfordshire, was the manor of the family of Hoo, - or De Hoo, who are said by Sir Henry Chauncy to have been settled - there before the Norman Conquest. Hasted, in his Kent, says, "Hoo - comes from the Saxon _hou_, a hill." Ihre derives the word from - _hoeg_, high. Spelman, vo. _Hoga_, observes that _ho_, _how_, - signifies mons, collis. Jamieson says "_How_ is certainly no other - than Isl. _haug_, Suio-Gothic _hoeg_, the name given to sepulchral - mounds." See also Lemon's _English Etymology_, s. v. _Hough_, - _how_.] - - - - -Replies. - - -MODERN NAMES OF PLACES. - -(Vol. iv., p. 470.) - -Your correspondent L. H. J. T. has noticed the corruption of Greek -topographical names, arising from the use of the definite article, which -the ear of a traveller not skilled in the language supposes to be a part -of the name, and so makes _Statines_ or _Satines_ from Athens, _Stives_ -from Thebes, &c. - -It may be interesting to some readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES" to know -that exactly the same thing has happened in Ireland, and that the -recognised Anglicised forms of several proper names, now stereotyped, -are a combination of the definite article _an_, of the Gaelic or Irish -language, with the name of the place. - -For instance, _Nenagh_ in the co. Tipperary is properly _Aonach_ [pron. -_eenagh_], but generally spoken of by the people with the definite -article _an Aonach_, the Aonach, _i.e._ fair, place of a fair or -assembly; and hence by the English made _Nenagh_. - -So also the river _Ainge_ [pron. nearly as _Anny_] is usually called an -Ainge, _the_ Ainge; and therefore is now _Nanny_, the Nanny, or Nanny -water, in the co. Meath. - -In like manner, the island _Aondruim_ in Loch Cuan, on which stood once -a celebrated monastery, is in Irish always called _an Aondruim_, the -Aondruim, and is now Nandrum or Nantrim Island. - -The town of _Newry_ is another instance. It has its name from an ancient -yew tree [in Irish _Iubhair_, pron. nearly as the word _your_] which -stood near it, and was said to have been planted by St. Patrick. Hence -the town is always called _an Iubhair_, the yew tree; which, by -incorporating the article, has been Anglicised _Newry_. - -The river _Nore_ in Ossory, is properly _an Eoir_, the Eoir [pron. -_Ore_]. - -So also the _Navan_ fort near Armagh, is _an Eamhain_, the Eamhain -[pron. nearly as _Avan_]. - -I might fill a page with other instances, but I shall only mention -another similar corruption in proper names, where after dropping the -_Mac_ the _c_ is retained, in cases where the patronymic begins with a -vowel. Thus the descendants of the Danish family of _Ottar_ became _Mac -Ottar_, and are now Cotter. So _Mac Etigan_ became _Gettigan_; _Mac -Eeoghegan_, Geoghegan; the _c_ being further transmuted into _g_. And -hundreds of similar instances could be given. - -It may also be observed that the English very generally caught the -genitive, or oblique case, of the Irish proper names, and from it formed -the name which is now in use amongst the English speaking population. -Thus they heard the Irish speak of the isles _Araun_, _i.e._ the isles -_of Ara_, for _Araun_ is the genitive; and hence they are now the _Aran -Isles_. So also the ford Trim or Druim, in Irish _Ath-Druim_ (the ford -of the long low hill, _vadum Dorsi_), where _Druim_ [pron. nearly -_Trim_] is the genitive of _Drom_ or _Drum_, a long low hill, a back. - -The names given to Ireland by medieval writers, after the ancient name -of Scotia had been transferred to _Alban_ (which, by the way, is itself -a genitive, from _Alba_), afford instances of the same thing. - -One of the native names of Ireland is _Eri_, or _Eire_, genitive -_Erinn_. From this the Greeks and Romans formed the name _Ierne_, from -the old word _I_, an island--_I-Erinn_, the island _of Eri_. And so we -now have also the genitive _Erin_, as a poetical name of the island. The -Danes, however, retained the absolute form, and called it _Eri-landt_, -Ireland. - -So also from the old word _Ibh_, or _Hibh_, a tribe, or country, we have -_Hibh-Erinn_, the tribe, or people of Eri, and hence evidently -_Hibernia_ and _Ivernia_. - - T. D. - - -PROVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY.--PAROCHIAL LIBRARY AT MAIDSTONE. - -(Vol. iv., p. 92.) - -As some of your readers may be aware, there is an old and somewhat -valuable library in the vestry of All Saints Church, Maidstone, which -was partly purchased by the parishioners of the executors of Dr. Bray -(who bequeathed his books to any parish which would advance fifty pounds -as a consideration for the value of them), and was afterwards increased -by the munificence of several benefactors. - -Up to the year 1810, when the present catalogue was made, it would -appear that but little, or at any rate very insufficient, care was taken -of these books; for Mr. Finch, who rearranged the library and wrote the -catalogue, carefully correcting the inaccuracies in the former one, -declares, in a note that he has placed at the commencement, dated -October 1, 1810, that he "found many valuable books missing, and a still -larger number irretrievably damaged by the incursions of worms and -damp." - -The number of volumes missing and decayed amounted to about 100, whilst -the number remaining in the library appears to have been 710, and their -gross value about 165_l._ - -Since 1810 far greater care seems to have been bestowed on them, for but -few, very few, volumes mentioned in the catalogue then made are missing, -and a daily fire during the winter months tends greatly to prevent their -further injury by damp. - -I will not, however, trouble you with any further remarks about the -library itself, but proceed at once to the subject of my note, which is -to offer for your acceptance three proverbs (which I have met with in -reading one of the books) as an addition to the valuable collection -lately sent by your correspondent COWGILL. - -The book from which I have derived them is a small quarto, containing -the following tracts or treatises; but whether any or all of them are -now but rarely to be met with, I know not. - - 1st. "The Heresiography, or a description of the Hereticks and - Sectaries of these latter times, by E. Pagitt. 5th edit. London, - 1654." - - 2nd. "An apologie for our publick ministerie and infant baptism, - by William Lyford, B.D. and Minister of the Gospel at Sherborn in - Dorcetshire. London, 1653." - - 3rd. "The Font guarded with XX arguments, containing a compendium - of that great controversie of Infant Baptism, proving the - lawfulness thereof; as being grounded on the word of God, - agreeable to the Practice of all Reformed churches: together with - the concurrent consent of a whole jury of judicious and pious - divines. With a word to one Collier and another to Mr. Tombs, in - the end of the Book. Birmingham, 1651." - - 4th. "Vindiciae, Paedo-Baptismi, or A Vindication of Infant Baptism - in a Full Answer to Mr. Tombs his twelve arguments alleaged - against it in his exercitation, and whatsoever is rational or - material in his answer to Mr. Marshall's sermon. By John Geree, - M.A. and Preacher of the Word sometime at Tewksbury, but now at - St. Albanes. London, 1646." - - 5th. [Title-page wanting, but it appears to have been this:] "The - Gangrene of Heresie, or A catalogue of many of the Errours, - Blasphemies, and Practices of the Sectaries of the time, with some - observations upon them. By Thomas Edwards, 1650." - - 6th. "The Patrimony of Christian Children, or A defence of Infants - Baptisme prooved to be consonant to the Scriptures and will of God - against the erroneous positions of the Anabaptists. By Robert - Cleaver, with the joynt consent of Mr. John Dod. London, 1624." - -These six treatises contain from 80 to 220 pages each, and in reading -them I have noted the three following "sententious truths," which I hope -may be thought worthy to be added to the much larger number contributed -by COWGILL. The first is from the lines of Beriah Philophylax to his -friend Mr. Thomas Hall, which is prefixed to his "Font Guarded;" and the -other two from Edwards' "Gangrene of Heresie,"-- - - 1st. "Answers are Honours to a Scold, - And make her spirit much more bold." - - 2nd. "A spark not quenched may burn down a whole house." - - 3rd. "Little sins make way for great, and one brings in all." - - JOHN BRANFILL HARRISON. - - Maidstone. - - -"A BREATH CAN MAKE THEM AS A BREATH HAS MADE." - -(Vol. iv., p. 482.) - -With reference to the observations of HENRY H. BREEN upon a well-known -passage in Goldsmith's _Deserted Village_, a little consideration will -convince him that the view taken by D'Israeli and himself is not only -extremely superficial, but that the proposed emendation would entirely -destroy the poet's meaning. - -The antithesis is not between flourishing and fading, but between the -difficult restoration of a bold peasantry and the easy reproduction of -princes and lords. - -The first branch of the antithesis is between _wealth_ and _men_: - - "Where wealth accumulates and men decay." - -It then proceeds to set forth that it matters little whether nobles -flourish or fade, because a breath can make _them_ as easily as it has -originally made them: but not so with a bold peasantry. When once _they_ -are destroyed, _they_ can never be replaced. - -In fact, so far from the sense requiring the alteration of "makes" into -"_un_makes," the substitution, if we would preserve the author's -meaning, should be "remakes:" - - "Princes and lords may flourish or may fade, - A breath _remakes them_, as a breath has made." - -I only put this in illustration: Heaven forbid I should recommend it as -an improvement! - -As for the cited "parallel passages," the best answer that can be given -to _them_ is, that they cease to be parallel passages! - -I shall therefore take the liberty to repeat a sentence from MR. BREEN, -with a slight alteration: - - "That Goldsmith wrote the line in question with the word - 'unmakes,' there seems (_every_) reason to doubt." - - A. E. B. - - Leeds. - -P.S.--As a mere matter of fact, apart from other considerations, -although a breath from the fountain of honour may create a noble, it -may be questioned whether it would not require something more than a -breath to _un_make him? - - [We have received many other excellent defences of the original - reading of this passage in Goldsmith. We have selected the present - as one of the shortest among those which first reached us. We will - add to it a postscript from the communication of another - correspondent, J. S. W., showing a curious typographical error - which has crept into the recent editions of Goldsmith.] - -_Passage in the Traveller._--There is a line in the _Traveller_, I may -observe, into which an error of the press, or of some unlucky critic, -has intruded. Goldsmith, speaking of the Swiss, says that he - - "_Breasts_ the keen air, and carols as he goes." - -In some editions it is given-- - - "_Breathes_ the keen air," &c. - -_Breasts_ was doubtless the original word, for it is quoted in Johnson's -_Dictionary_, under the word _Breast_. This alteration, however, does -not, like the supposed change of _unmakes_ into _can make_, affect the -sense. - - J. S. W. - - Stockwell. - - -BOGATZKY. - -(Vol. iii., pp. 478., 526.; Vol. iv., p. 44.) - -Perhaps the following Note may prove interesting, as a contribution to -the literary history of Bogatzky's popular work, and as explanatory of -the statement of R. D. H. (Vol. iii., p. 526.), that the book was almost -entirely re-written _by the Rev. H. Venn_. - -_The Golden Treasury_ was introduced to English readers through the late -excellent John Thornton, Esq. This gentleman having met with a copy of -the German work, caused it to be translated into English. Of this -translation (in which many of Bogatzky's papers are exchanged for -extracts from English writers) a single copy was printed, interleaved, -and sent to the _Rev. John Berridge_, of Everton, for final revision. -This copy is now before me. The title runs thus: _A Golden Treasury for -the Children of God, whose Treasure is in Heaven; consisting of select -Texts of the Bible, with practical Observations in Prose and Verse, for -every Day in the Year. By C. H. v. Bogatzky: with some Alterations and -Improvements by various Hands. Also a Preface on the right Use of this -Book. Together with a few Forms of Prayer for private Use. "Where your -Treasure is, there will your Heart be also." Matt._ vi. 21. _London: -Printed in the Year_ MDCCLXXV. Then follows the Preface (pp. iii.-xvi.), -written by Mr. Thornton. The rest of the book extends to 374 pages of a -small oblong form. The whole is very copiously annotated by Mr. -Berridge, whose corrections are most important and judicious. He greatly -improved and simplified the language, his chief aim evidently being to -accommodate the book to the use of as large a number of readers as -possible. The humour of the man breaks out ever and anon in cutting -rebukes and sarcasms directed against unsound doctrine: neither -Calvinist nor Arminian, Pharisee nor Antinomian, escape his lash. A -considerable number of papers are either entirely re-written, or very -largely altered; _e.g._ Jan. 29 (by J. Thornton); Feb. 10, 19; April 8, -26; May 2, 3, 16, 20; June 19, 22; Sept. 9, 17, 18, 21, 25; Oct. 10; -Nov. 18; Dec. 1, &c. About forty-three papers are left untouched, and -twenty others have only some verses added by Mr. Berridge. Next, as to -the extracts from English authors: in the interleaved copy the sources -are indicated in Mr. Thornton's handwriting for the first six months; -beyond which there is no indication of the kind. I subjoin a list of the -authors from whom extracts have been made:-- - -_Aberdeen Bible_, Feb. 17, 22, April 1, 18, June 8; _Mr. Adams_, March -28; _Mr. Bentley_, Jan. 1, 12, April 21; _Mr. Brewer_, April 15; -_Darracot's Scripture Marks_, March 5, April 3; _Mr. De Coetlogon_, June -5; _Mr. Fletcher_, May 4, 5; _Mr. Forster_, Feb. 10, 20; _Dr. Guise_, -June 11; _Bishop Hall_, Feb. 12, 26, March 12, May 3, June 9; _Mr. -Howe_, March 1, April 6; _Mr. Keash (?)_, Feb. 1; _Mr. King_, Jan. 31, -Feb. 8; _Mr. Law_, June 4; _Mr. Mason_, March 29, 30; _Mr. Newton_, -April 17; _Dr. Owen_, Feb. 21, March 15, 21; _Mr. Romaine_, Jan. 29; -_Spencer's Storehouse_, Feb. 16, March 19, 31, April 20, 30, May 29, -June 14, 17; _Mrs. Thornton_, March 10; _Mrs. Wills_, April 19. - -I will only add that most of the corrections of Mr. Berridge were -adopted by Mr. Thornton, and have consequently appeared in the London -editions in current use. - - C. P. PH***. - - -MORAVIAN HYMNS. - -(Vol. iv., p. 502.) - -John Wesley was at one time of his life a pupil of the Moravians, and -Southey's _Life_ of that remarkable man, like most of his works, -pregnant with interest and erudition, affords a satisfactory answer to -your correspondent's Query. I quote from the 3rd edition of the _Life_, -2 vols., 1846. Of the Moravians he says:-- - - "Madness never gave birth to combinations of more _monstrous and - blasphemous obscenity_ than they did in their fantastic allegories - and spiritualizations. In such freaks of perverted fancy the - abominations of the Phallus and the Lingam have unquestionably - originated; and in some such abominations Moravianism might have - ended, had it been instituted among the Mingrelian or Malabar - Christians, where there was no antiseptic influence of surrounding - circumstances to preserve it from putrescence. Fortunately for - themselves, and for that part of the heathen world among whom they - have laboured, and still are labouring with exemplary devotion, - the Moravians were taught by their assailants to correct this - perilous error in time."--Vol. i. p. 173. - -He adds in a note: - - "The reader who may have perused Rimius's _Narrative of the Rise - and Progress of the Herrnhuters_, and the 'Responsorial Letters of - the Theological Faculty of Tuebingen' annexed to it [the 2nd - edition was published London, 1753], will not think this language - too strong." - -In the Appendix, p. 481., Southey further says: - - "The most characteristic parts of the Moravian hymns are _too - shocking_ to be inserted here: even in the humours and - extravagances of the Spanish religious poets there is nothing - which approaches to the monstrous perversion of religious feeling - in these astonishing productions. The copy which I possess is of - the third edition printed for James Hutton, 1746. An interesting - account of James Hutton, who published the _Moravian Hymns_, may - be seen in the great collection of _Literary Anecdotes_ by Mr. - Nichols, vol. iii. p. 435. Of their _silliness_ I subjoin only - such a specimen as may be read without offence:-- - - 'What is now to children the dearest thing here? - To be the Lamb's lambkins and chickens most dear; - Such lambkins are nourished with food which is best, - Such chickens sit safely and warm in the nest.' - - 'And when Satan at an hour - Comes our chickens to devour, - Let the children's angels say, - Those are Christ's chicks--go thy way.' - - "Yet even the _Moravian Hymns_ are equalled by a poem of - Manchester manufacture in the _Gospel Magazine_ for August, 1808, - entitled the 'Believer's Marriage in Christ.'"--Southey's _Life of - Wesley_. - -See also Crantz's _History of the Brethren_, translated by Latrobe, 8vo. -London, 1780; _A True and Authentic Account of Andrew Frey_, translated -from the German, London, 1753, an extremely curious work; also _A Solemn -Call on Count Zinzendorf_, by Henry Rimius, London, 1754. - - JARLTZBERG. - - December 30th, 1851. - - -Replies to Minor Queries. - -_Inveni portum_ (Vol. v., p. 10.).--This couplet, which occurs at the -close of the second volume of _Gil Blas_, is a version of the following -Greek epigram among those of uncertain authors in the _Anthologia_: - - [Greek: - Eis tychen - - Elpis kai sy Tyche, mega chairete; ton limen' heuron. - Ouden emoi ch' hymin; paizete tous met' eme.] - -It is a slight alteration of the translation given by William Lilly, Sir -Thomas More's friend and schoolfellow, and occurs, with Sir Thomas -More's version, in the _Progymnasmata_ prefixed to the first edition of -More's _Epigrams_, a very elegant volume, printed under the care of -Beatus Rhinanus by Frobenius, at Basle, in 1520: small 4to. The -frontispiece is by Holbein: - - "T. MORI DE CONTEMPTU FORTUNAE. - - "Jam portum inveni, Spes et Fortuna valete. - Nil mihi vobiscum est, ludite nunc alios." - - "G. LILII. - - "Inveni portum. Spes et Fortuna valete. - Nil mihi vobiscum, ludite nunc alios." - -There is a longer epigram, also by an uncertain author, in the First -Book of the _Anthologia_, the first lines of which differ but slightly. -It runs thus: - - [Greek: Elpis kai su Tuche, mega chairete ten hodon heuron; - Ouk eti gar spheterois epiterpomai; errhete ampho, - Houneken en meropessi polyplanees mala este. - k. t. l.] - -The epigram has been very frequently translated. We have Latin versions -by W. Morel, Grotius, and others; and several Italian and French -versions. Mr. Merivale has thus rendered it: - - "Fortune and Hope farewell! I've found the port: - You've done with me: go now, with others sport!" - -Thomas Moore has given us a spirited paraphrase of it. - - S.W. SINGER. - - Manor Place, South Lambeth. - -_Quarter Waggoner_ (Vol. v., p. 11.).--As the editor, in the exercise of -his official functions, may class this scrap with the _Replies_, it -cannot be amiss to state that I offer its contents as mere conjectures. - -In the _Sea grammar_ of captain John Smith, which was published in 1627, -we have a list of books adapted to the use of those who would _learn to -observe the altitude_, to _prick_ their _card_, or _say_ their -_compass_. It is as follows: - - "Master _Wrights_ Errours of nauigation. Master _Tapps_ Sea-mans - kalender. The art of nauigation. The sea regiment. The sea-mans - secret. _Waggoner_. Master _Gunters_ workes. The sea-mans glasse - for the scale. The new attracter for variation. Master _Wright_ - for vse of the globe. Master _Hewes_ for the same." - -It thus appears that _Waggoner_ was either the title of a book, or the -name of an author; and we may infer, from the absence of particulars, -that it was quite familiar to the seamen of that period--as much so as -_Charles'-wain_. May it not indicate Lucas Jansz _Wagenaer_ of -Enchuisen, author of the _Spieghel der zeevaerdt_, or mirror of -navigation, published at Leyden in 1585. The _Spieghel_ became a -standard work; and a translation of it by Anthony Ashley was printed at -London, with a dedication to sir Christopher Hatton, about the year -1588. Mr. Joseph Ames, who gives the title of this translation, -observes: "Perhaps the sailors from this book call their sea charts -_Wagenars_." He was the son of a merchant-captain, and passed his life -as a ship chandler in Wapping: I need not search for a better witness. -With regard to the word _Quarter_, it seems to be an abbreviation of -quarter-deck; and if so, _Quarter Waggoner_ would mean the quarter-deck -charts, or the charts which were supplied to the commander of a ship for -the use of himself and the other officers. - - BOLTON CORNEY. - -_Cibber's Lives of the Poets_ (Vol. v., p. 25.).--MR. CROSSLEY says that -none of Johnson's biographers appear to have known that the prospectus -which he has sent you was furnished by Dr. Johnson; but of this fact he -gives no other proof than his own opinion that "the internal evidence is -decisive." Now I really must say, that to my poor judgment nothing can -be less like Johnson's peculiar style; and, moreover, MR. CROSSLEY, who -quotes Mr. Croker's note (p. 818., ed. 1848) on this subject, has -certainly not read that note accurately, for the object of that note was -to endeavour to account for Johnson's having frequently and positively -asserted that _Cibber had nothing to do with these lives_, of which MR. -CROSSLEY would have us suppose he wrote the prospectus for Cibber. If -MR. CROSSLEY will read more carefully the note referred to, which is -half Boswell's and half Croker's, and also another note (also referred -to), p. 504., he will see that it is impossible that Johnson could have -written this prospectus. - -As I happen to be addressing MR. CROSSLEY, I take the liberty of asking -whether he has yet been able to lay his hands on Pope's Imitation of -Horace, _printed by Curll_ in 1716 (see "N. & Q.," Vol. iv., pp. 122. -139.), and which he tells us he possesses. I wonder and should be sorry -that _such a curiosity_ should be lost or even mislaid. - - C. - -_Poniatowski Gems_ (Vol. v., p. 30.).--A. O. O. D. is informed that a -portion of these gems were sold by Christie and Manson about the second -week in June of last year, under an order of the Court of Chancery, on -account of the estate of the late Lord Monson. The contents of one -cabinet were alone put up, and the auctioneers can, no doubt, supply the -particulars that A. O. O. D. requires; or more general information might -possibly be obtained from the solicitors, Messrs. Pooley and Beisly, 1. -Lincoln's Inn Fields. - - M----N. - -_Dial Motto at Karlsbad_ (Vol. iv., pp. 471. 507.).--I do not think it -difficult to throw light upon the Karlsbad inscription sent to you by -HERMES. I believe that there is a mistake either by the inscriber or the -transcriber, and that the word CEdIt ought to be written CeDIt. The -chrono-grammatic letters or numerals would then be MDCCVVVVIIIIIIIIII = -MDCCXXX = 1730. There are, however, as you have printed it, three other -capital letters, but I observe they are not in the same type as the -numerals. The question then arises, how do they appear in the original -inscription? do they all appear there, or only the first two. It is -possible that they, _i.e._ H. H. T., may be the initials of the name of -the then owner of the house I should like this explanation better if the -only capitals, not numerals, were H. H., the initials of the first two -words of the inscription, and unmingled with the numerals. It would then -be H. H. MDCCXXX, or as it would appear upon a house of the present day: - - H. H. - 1730. - -It is probable that by inquiry at Karlsbad, if it were worth while, the -name of the owner and date of the house might afford a certain solution -of his difficulty. The doubtful letters may be the initials of the maker -of the dial. - - GRIFFIN. - -P.S. Upon what authority does your correspondent E. H. D. D. (Vol. iv., -p. 507.) assert that "E in such compositions stands for 250?" - -_Passage in Jeremy Taylor_ (Vol. iv., p. 435.).--I have to thank your -correspondent F. A. for calling my attention to a passage in the present -edition of Jeremy Taylor, in which the bishop cites a "common saying" -concerning Repentance. I had already discovered the error which F. A. -alludes to, my attention having been called to the words in question, by -finding them quoted by Jackson (Sermon on Luke, xiii. 6. _et seq._); and -a MS. note in the margin by a former possessor of the volume gave me the -true account of the sentence. - -I am living at a distance from libraries, and without the opportunity of -examining questions; but I believe F. A. will find that he has slightly -misunderstood L'Estrange; the sentence in question _not_ being found in -Coverdale's translation of the Bible. - - C. P. E. - -_Aue Trici and Gheeze Ysenoudi_ (Vol. i., pp. 215. 267.).--These two -nuns belonged to the convent of St. Margaret at Gouda. In 1714 there -still existed in the library of that city a book entitled _Coll==tarius_ -(Commentarius) _supra Psalmos_.[2] This work, written by Peter Por of -Floref, and dedicated to John of Arckel, bishop of Utrecht, was -transcribed on parchment in the year 1454 by seven nuns of the above -convent, these were: - - Maria Joannis, - _Geza Yzenoude_, - _Aua Trici_, - Jacoba Gerardi, - Agatha Nicolai, - Maria Martini, - en Maria Gerardi. - - [Footnote 2: Sic in MSS. Legendumne co[=m]tarius?] - -On the back of the MS. is a list of the books belonging to the convent: -these were then seventy in number. - -Lambertus Wilhelmi, a monk of Sion Abbey, and director of these nuns, -composed in the year 1452 a _History of the Convent of St. Margaret at -Gouda_, by order of its superintendent, Heymanus Florentii, a monk of -'S. Gravezande. This convent was burnt in 1572 by one of Lumey's -captains, Hans Aulterman, who for his many crimes was condemned on the -11th of April, 1573, and burnt alive at the gates of Gouda. - -The Nicholas de Wit mentioned in the Query was prior of the monastery of -St. Michael, near Schoonhoven. (See further T. Walvisch, _Beschryving -van Gouda_, II. pp. 123-172.) - - ELSEVIER. - - Leyden, Navorscher, Jan. 1852. - -_Rev. John Paget_ (Vol. iv., p. 133.).--Of this clergyman the following -mention is made in the _Resolutions of the States General_: - - "9 January, 1607. Op te requeste van John Paget, predikand van de - Engelsche regimenten, is geordonneert de selve te stellen in - handen van den Ovesten Horace Vere, Ridder, omme ordre te stellen, - dat den suppl. van syn tractament mach worden betaelt." - - 9 January, 1607. Touching the request of John Paget, chaplain of - the English regiments, is ordained that the same be placed in the - hands of the Colonel Horace Vere, Knight, that provision may be - made for the payment of the suppliant's salary. - -From the register of a marriage celebrated at Leyden the 7th of January, -1649, between Mathys Paget, smith, and Maria Picters Del Tombe, both of -that city, it would appear that other members of the Paget family have -resided there. - - ELSEVIER. - - Leyden, Navorscher, Jan. 1852. - -The Rev. John Paget doubtless belonged to an English or Scotch family, -sometimes also called Pagett, or Pagetius. John Paget, who was the first -minister of the English church in Amsterdam, came there in 1607, and -preached his introductory sermon on the 5th of February, in the chapel -prepared for that purpose: his formal induction took place in the month -of April, in the same year, and here he remained twenty-nine years. -Thomas Paget, invited from Blackeley in England, was inducted in -November 1639, and departed the 29th of August 1646, for Shrewsbury. -Robert Paget, or Pagetius, minister of the Scotch congregation at -Dordrecht from 1638 to 1685, "was a man of extensive biblical knowledge, -but of extreme modesty." When the English church in Amsterdam was -offered him, he could not be prevailed upon to accept it. With Jacob -Borstius he lived on terms of close intimacy. - -Consult the _Kerkelyk Alphabeth_ of Veeris, Wagenaar, _Beschryving van -Amsterdam_, and Balen _Beschryving van Dordt_; also _The History of the -Scottish Church at Rotterdam_, by the Rev. William Steven, M.A., -Edinburgh and Rotterdam, 1832, and Schotel, _Kerkelyk Dordrecht_, vol. -i. p. 457., and the note (2), vol. ii. p. 217., where many particulars -concerning the Pagets, especially Robert, are found. It is, however, -probable that CRANMORE may obtain more information touching his family -in England than in this country. In Toecher's _Gelehrten Lexicon_ mention -is made of Ephraim, Eusebius, and Wilhelmus Paget, all of whom resided -in England. - -We also read in the _Lyste van de Namen der Predikanten in de Provincie -van Utrecht_, by H. van Rhenen, 1705, p. 66., that Robert Paget, an -Englishman, and English preacher at Dordt, nephew of Thomas Paget, was -invited to Utrecht in 1655, but declined. He remained at Dordrecht, and -died there in 1684. - - V. D. N. - - Rotterdam, Navorscher, Jan. 1852. - -_Lines on the Bible_ (Vol. iv., p. 473.).--"Within that awful volume -lies," &c. These lines are Walter Scott's. They are spoken by the White -Lady of Avenel, in _The Monastery_. It appears that they were copied by -Lord Byron into his Bible, for they are inserted at the end of -Galignani's 1-vol. edition of Byron's Works (Paris, 1826), among the -"_attributed_ pieces," as "lines found in Lord Byron's Bible." This I -believe is the only authority on which the compiler of the volume -referred to by your correspondent can have supposed his lordship to have -been the author. In Murray's editions they have no place, nor even in -Galignani's later editions. - - B. R. I. - - [We are indebted to many other correspondents for similar - replies.] - -_Dial Mottoes_ (Vol. iv., p. 471.).--The following is an inscription -which I copied from a dial-plate in the churchyard of Kirk-Arbory, Isle -of Man: - - "Thomas Kirkall de - Bolton Fecit. - Horula dum quota sit - Quaeritur hora fugit. - 1678." - -There is a coat of arms also, but the tinctures are not marked; viz. -Quarterly of three coats: first and fourth, three roundels in fess, -between two barrulets; second, on a bend three mullets; third, a chevron -between three lozenges. - - T. H. KERSLEY, B.A. - -_Martial's Distribution of Hours_ (Vol. iv., pp. 273., 332.).--I ought -perhaps to thank THEOPHYLACT for good intention in answering, not the -question I did ask, but that which he thinks I "might have asked." - -My real question was based upon an assumption, the truth of which -THEOPHYLACT denies: his reply therefore is rather a challenge to -premiss, than an answer to the question. - -I totally dissent from him in understanding "quies lassis" in any sense -short of absolute _recumbent_ repose: "finis," which he takes as the -real commencement of the siesta, I understand as its conclusion: nor am -I aware of any, except the last final quies, to which the term _finis_ -would be applicable. - -Neither can I admit, upon the authority of THEOPHYLACT, that there was -any gradual or partial cessation of business in Rome during the hour -which we call "between eleven and twelve o'clock in the forenoon." -Julius Caesar left home, commenced the business of the senate, was -surrounded by thronging applicants, and was assassinated--all during -that hour: and, unless THEOPHYLACT can show that therefore, and on that -account, it became distasteful to succeeding emperors, he must excuse me -from admitting his interpretation. - - A. E.

H. S. - -_Cooper's miniature, &c._ (Vol. v. p. 17.).--I have a painting on copper -of Oliver Cromwell. It is oval, and about six inches by four. It -resembles the engravings of him which have Cooper's name attached to -them. In the distance is a "white horse," faintly sketched in. My -father, in whose possession it long was, set a very great value upon it. -I have not had sufficient opportunity to inquire--Did ever Cooper paint -in oil? - - B. G. - -_Roman Funeral Pile_ (Vol. iv., p. 381.).--The ceremony of a Roman -funeral concluded with a feast, which was usually a supper given to the -friends and relatives of the deceased; and sometimes provisions were -distributed to the people. (Vid. Adams' _Roman Hist._, 3rd edit. p. -283.) Basil Kennett, in his _Antiquities of Rome_, published 1776, -further observes (p. 361.) that-- - - "The feasts, celebrated to the honour of the deceased, were either - private or publick. The private feasts were termed _silicernia_, - from _silex and coena_, as if we should say _suppers made on a - stone_. These were prepared both for the _dead_ and the _living_. - The repast designed for the dead consisting commonly of beans, - lettuces, bread and eggs, or the like, was laid on the tomb for - the ghosts to come out and eat, as they fancied they would; and - what was left they burnt on the stone." - -No authority is cited either by Adams or Kennett for the custom, but -your correspondent _John ap William ap John_ might perhaps refer to -"_Petri Morestelli Pompa Feralis, sive justa Funebria Veterum_," with -some probability of success in finding the subject there treated at -large. - - FRANCISCUS. - -_Barrister_ (Vol. iv., p. 472.).--The derivation of this word proposed -by W. Y. can only be looked upon as a joke, as he himself seems to -regard it. "Roister" can have no more to do with it than "oyster" has -with such words as "songster, spinster, maltster, punster, tapster, -webster," &c., in which "ster" is the A.S. termination to denote one -whose business is "song, or spinning," &c. Thus from the Mediaeval Latin -"barra" we get "barraster, one whose business is at the bar;" this is -confirmed by the old mode of spelling the word, viz., "barrester and -barraster." See Spelman's _Glossary_, v. Cancellarius-- - - "Dicuntur etiam _cancelli_ septa curiarum quae _barras_ vocant; - atque inde Juris candidati causas illic agentes, Budaeo - _Cancellarii_, ut nobiscum _Barrestarii_." - -And again-- - - "_Barrasterius_, Repagularis Causidicus." - - J.

Bohn's edition. - -To which is appended the following note:-- - - "The squirrel's nest is not only called a _drey_ in Hampshire, but - also in other counties; in Suffolk it is called a bay. The word - _drey_, though now provincial, I have met with in some of our old - writers."--_Mitford_. - - PANTAGRUEL. - -_Tregonwell Frampton_ (Vol. iv., p. 474.; Vol. v., p. 16.).--In the -_History of the British Turf_, by James Christie Whyte, Esq. (London, -Colburn, 2 vols. 8vo. 1840), T. R. W. will meet with a sketch of the -life of Mr. Frampton, together with an inquiry into the truth of the -well known anecdote respecting his cruelty to his horse Dragon. Mr. -Chafin, in his _Anecdotes of Cranbourne Chase_ (London, 1818), p. 47., -refers to him, and prints one or two curious original letters from him. -Mr. Whyte illustrates his first volume by a portrait of Mr. Frampton. - - CRANMORE. - -_Vermin, Parish Payments of, &c._ (Vol. iv., p. 208.).--There is no -doubt but that nearly all country parishes paid at one time for the -destruction of different kinds of vermin; but this practice is now -entirely discontinued. The following are the prices paid twenty-five -years ago by the parish of Corsham, Wilts:-- - -Vipers, 6_d._ each; slowworms or blindworms, 3_d._ each; rats, 1_d._ -each (the tails only were required to be brought); sparrows' heads, -6_d._ per dozen, (meaning the old birds); sparrows' eggs and young -birds, 4_d._ per dozen. - -I shall never forget, when a boy, and my father was churchwarden, the -tricks the young lads and boys used to play in order to palm off other -birds' eggs and young birds for sparrows. One young rascal actually -painted the eggs very cleverly to imitate the sparrows, till I -discovered it. Young birds of all kinds were brought, and many dozens -paid for that were not sparrows; as it was impossible to tell the young -birds of many of the hard billed kinds from the sparrow. At last the -parish gave up paying for the eggs or young birds, but gave 1_s._ per -dozen for the heads of old sparrows, and vast numbers were brought -throughout the winter; and then attempts were made to substitute other -birds' heads, which were in many cases paid for. The next year the -parish agreed only to pay for the whole birds, so that no deception -could be practised. When the New Poor Law came into operation, all these -payments were stopped. Glead was a provincial term for the kite and -buzzard, the ringtail for the hen harrier hawk, and greashead or -greyhead for the female kestrel or greyheaded falcon. In most of the -Wiltshire parishes 6_d._ per head was paid for the hedgehog, as the -farmers always believed they sucked the teats of cows when laid down in -the fields. The badger was also paid for in some places. - - J. K. - - North Wilts. - -_Alterius Orbis Papa_ (Vol. iii., p. 497.).--The origin of this title -is, I think, still open to explanation, and in offering one which I find -recorded in Lambard's _Perambulation of Kent_, 1596, pp. 80, 81. I trust -the quaint but interesting style of that learned antiquary and historian -will be a sufficient excuse to your readers for its insertion at length -_verbatim et literatim_: - - "The whole Province of this Bishopricke of Canterbury, was at the - first divided by Theodorus (the seventh Bishop) into five Dioceses - only: howbeit, in processe of time it grew to twentie and one, - besides itselfe, leaving to Yorke (which by the first institution - should have had as many as it) but Durham, Carleil, and Chester - only. And whereas by the same ordinance of Gregorie, neither of - these Archbishops ought to be inferiour to other, save onely in - respect of the priority of their consecration, Lanfranc (thinking - it good reason that he should make a conquest of the English - clergie, since his maister, King William, had vanquished the whole - nation), contended at Windsor with Thomas Norman (Archbishop of - Yorke) for the primacie, and there (by judgement before Hugo, the - Pope's Legate) recovered it from him: so that ever since the one - is called _Totius Angliae primas_, and the other _Angliae primas_, - without any further addition. Of which judgement, one (forsooth) - hath yielded this great reason: that even as the Kentish people, - by an auncient prerogative of manhood, do challenge the first - front in each battel, from the Inhabitants of other countries; so - the Archbishop of their Shyre, ought by good congruence to be - preferred before the rest of the Bishops of the whole Realme. - Moreover, whereas before time, the place of this Archbishop in the - generall Councell was to sit next to the Bishop of Sainct - Ruffines, Anselmus, the successor of this Lanfranc (for recompence - of the good service that hee had done, in ruffling against - Priests' wives, and resisting the King for the investiture of - clerks) was by Pope Urbane endowed with this accession of honour, - that he and his Successours should from thencefoorth have place in - all generall councels, at the Pope's right foote, who then said - withall. 'Includamus hunc in orbe nostro, tanquam alterius orbis - Papam.'" - - FRANCISCUS. - -_Dido and AEneas_ (Vol. iv., p. 423.).--I beg leave to transcribe for A. -A. D. the following passage from the _Facetiae Cantabrigiensis_, p. 95. -(London, Charles Mason, 1836): - - "Porson observing that he could pun on any subject, a person - present defied him to do so on the Latin gerunds, which however he - immediately did in the following admirable couplet: - - 'When Dido found AEneas would not come, - She mourned in silence, and was DI-DO-DUM.'" - -I have also seen these lines attributed to Porson in an old volume of -_The Mirror_. Of any other authorities I have no knowledge. - - J. S. W. - - Stockwell. - -_Compositions during the Protectorate_ (Vol. iv., pp. 406. 490.).--W. H. -L. suspects that there is an error in the list of these compositions for -Lincolnshire, as given in Oldfield's _History of Wainfleet_, and asks, -"Where is there any account or list of these?" H. F. refers W. H. L. to -a small volume entitled _A Catalogue of the Lords, Knights, and -Gentlemen that have compounded for their Estates_. London, 1655. I have -compared Oldfield's list with the reprint of the _Catalogue_ (Chester, -1733), and find that, with some slight exceptions, they agree. Oldfield, -however, omits the following compositions for Lincolnshire: - - _l._ _s._ _d._ - "Benson, Clement, of North Kelsey, - Gent. 120 0 0 - - Burcroft, Thomas, late of Waltham, - _pro_ Frances and Jane, his sisters 70 0 0 - - Dalton, John, late of Barton on - _Humber_ 46 0 0 - - Fines, Morris, of Christhead (Kirkstead) 50 0 0 - - Leesing, Thomas, of North Somercotes 12 7 6 - - Monson, Sir John, of South Carleton 2642 0 0 - - Moore, Alexander, of Grantham 350 0 0 - - Manson, Sir John, Jun., of North - Thorpe 133 0 0 - - Thorold, Joseph, of Boston, Gent. 96 0 0 - - Whichcoat, Edward, of Bishop's Norton, - Esq., with 50_l._ per annum - settled 513 0 0." - -There are also a few discrepancies in the amounts of the compositions, -but none of any importance. - -Roger Adams, the publisher of the edition of the _Catalogue_ printed at -Chester in 1733, says, in the preliminary address to his subscribers, -that-- - - "The Catalogue was printed five years before the miserable scene - of oppression (by sequestration) closed. To supply the defects of - it, I apply'd many ways, first to _Goldsmith's Hall_, where I was - told the latter sequestrations were generally imposed; but the - haste my friend was in, and some discouragements he met with, - rendered this application unsuccessful." - -The error which W.

T. - -I was aware of the work, _A Catalogue, &c._, which contains also the -error alluded to at p. 406. Will H. F. be so obliging as to say from -what materials that work was compiled, and how the whole business of the -compositions was managed? Some part of it was carried on at Goldsmith's -Hall. Evelyn probably alludes to the compositions at p. 311. of vol. i. -of his _Diary_, edition of 1850. - - W. H. L. - - - - -Miscellaneous. - - -NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. - -When we consider how many indications are still discoverable, by those -who know how to look for them, of the influence which the incursions of -the Danes and Northmen into Britain have exercised upon our language, -customs, and social and political condition; and that even the most -cursory glance at the map of these islands will show in so many local -names indisputable evidence of Danish occupation--evidence which is -amply confirmed by many of our archaisms or provincialisms, our popular -customs and observances,--when these things are considered, it is -obvious that a work which should give us the result of these incursions, -if written by a competent hand, must prove of great and general -interest. Just such a book has been issued by Mr. Murray, under the -title of _An Account of the Danes and Norwegians in England, Scotland, -and Ireland_, by J. J. A. Worsaae. All who had the pleasure of making -Mr. Worsaae's acquaintance when he visited this country in 1846-47, were -aware that he possessed two qualifications essentially necessary for the -proper execution of the task which he had undertaken. For his -archaeological acquirements were made patent (even to those who were -unable to study his various antiquarian publications in Danish and -German) by the English version of his _Primaeval Antiquities of Denmark_; -while his thorough mastery over our language was such as to enable him -to pursue his researches into the period of our country's history which -he proposed to illustrate, without the slightest let or hindrance. With -a theme, then, which may be considered as novel as it is interesting -(for it is the first attempt to view the subject _from the Danish -side_), and with such abilities to do it justice, it is no wonder that -Mr. Worsaae has produced a work which will, we are sure, be found to -possess the double merit of not only gratifying the antiquary, but also -of interesting, instructing, and amusing the general reader. - -To form a complete Encyclopaedia of Classical Antiquity, it was necessary -that to the _Dictionaries of Greek and Roman Antiquities_, and of _Greek -and Roman Biography and Mythology_, should be added a _Dictionary of -Greek and Roman Geography_. That want is in the course of being -supplied. The first Quarterly Part of such a _Dictionary_, called, for -the sake of uniformity, "_of Greek and Roman Geography_," but including -even Scriptural names, and so being in reality a _Dictionary of Ancient -Geography_, edited by Dr. Smith, written by the principal contributors -to the former works, and illustrated by numerous woodcuts, has just been -issued. It equals its predecessors in its claims to the support of all -students and lovers of classical learning; and we know no higher praise. - -We learn from _The Athenaeum_ that Mr. George Stephens, the translator of -Tegner's beautiful epic _Frithiof's Saga_, and whose intimate -acquaintance with the early literature of Sweden has been shown by the -collection of legends of that country which he has edited in conjunction -with Hylten-Cavallius, and by the various works superintended by him for -the _Svenska Fornskrift-Sallskapet_, a sort of Stockholm Camden Society, -has removed to Copenhagen in consequence of his having been appointed -Professor of the English Language and Literature in the University -there. The subject of his first course of lectures--to be delivered in -the present month--is, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. After this we shall -be quite prepared to hear of a Danish translation of this masterpiece of -the Father of English Poetry, as a companion to the recently published -Swedish translations of Shakspeare. - -BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Rhymed Chronicle of Edward Manlove concerning the -Liberties and Customs of the Lead Mines within the Wapentake of -Wirksworth, Derbyshire_, &c., edited by Thomas Tapping, Esq. This little -tract (which with its valuable Glossary, List of Cases, &c., occupies -but forty pages) is an extremely curious book; and the manner in which -it has been edited reflects great credit upon Mr. Tapping.--_Neander's -General History of the Christian Religion and Church_, vol. vi., forms -the new volume of Bohn's _Standard Library_. The same indefatigable -publisher has issued, as the new volume of his Classical Library, _The -Odes of Pindar, literally translated into English Prose_, by Dawson W. -Turner, M.A.; and, as if this was not sufficient, he has added the -_Metrical Version by the late Abraham Moore_--a translation which he -pronounces, and with great justice, to be distinguished for "poetry, -scholarship, and taste." - - -BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES - -WANTED TO PURCHASE. - -JOURNAL OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF DUBLIN.
