It is kept -under a glass case, and shown as "an undoubted autograph of the Black -Prince," according to the testimony of the gentleman who has very -obligingly placed a transcript of this interesting relic at my disposal. It -is as follows: - - "Chers et bons amis, nous avons entendu, que ung nostre homme lige - subject, natif de nostre pays de Galles, est occupe et detenu es - prisons de la ville de Diepe, pour la mort d'un homme d'icelle ville, - dont pour le dict cas autres ont este executez. Et pour ce que nostre - dict subject estoit clerc, a este et est encores en suspens, parce - qu'il a este requis par les officiers de nostre tres cher et aime - cousin l'archevesque de Rouen, afin qu'il leur fut rendu, ainsi que de - droict; pourquoy nous vous prions, que icelui nostre homme et subject - vous veuillez bailler et delivrer aux gens et officiers de mon dict - cousin, sans en ce faire difficulte. Et nous vous en saurons un tres - grant gre, et nous ferez ung essingulier plaisir. Car monseigneur le - roy de France nous a autorisez faire grace en semblable cas que celui - de mon dict subject, duquel desirons fort la delivrance. Escript a - Rouen, le onziesme jour de Janvier. - - (Signed) EDUARD. - (Countersigned) MARTIN." - -The error of assigning this signature to Edward the Black Prince is -sufficiently obvious, and somewhat surprising, since we here have an -undoubted, and, I believe, _unique_ autograph of Edward of Lancaster, -Prince of Wales, only son of Henry VI. by Margaret of Anjou. He was born at -Westminster, October 13th, 1453, and was therefore, in January, 1471 (no -doubt the true date of the document), in the eighteenth year of his age. He -had sought refuge from the Yorkists, in France, with his mother, ever since -the year 1462, and in the preceding July or August, 1470, had been -affianced to Anne Neville, the youngest daughter of the Earl of Warwick. At -the period when this {34} letter was written at Rouen, Margaret of Anjou -was meditating the descent into England which proved so fatal to herself -and son, whose life was taken away with such barbarity on the field at -Tewksbury, in the month of May following. The letter is addressed, -apparently, to the magistrates of Rouen or Dieppe, to request the -liberation of a native of Wales (imprisoned for the crime of having slain a -man), and his delivery to the officers of the Archbishop of Rouen, on the -plea of his being a clerk. The prince adds, that he was authorised by the -King of France (Louis XI.) to grant grace in similar cases. As the -signature of this unfortunate prince is at present quite unknown in the -series of English royal autographs, it would be very desirable that an -accurate fac-simile should be made of it by some competent artist; and -perhaps the art of photography might in this instance be most -advantageously and successfully used to obtain a perfect copy of the entire -document. - -F. MADDEN. - - * * * * * - -ROBERT BLOOMFIELD. - -Presuming that some of the many readers of "N. & Q." may feel an interest -in the author of _The Farmer's Boy_, whom I knew intimately (a -sickly-looking, retiring, and meditative man), and have often seen trimming -his bright little flower-garden fronting his neat cottage in the City -Road--a pastry-cook's shop, an apple and oyster stall, and part of the -Eagle Tavern ("To what base uses," &c.) now occupy its, to me, hallowed -site,--I send you a few extracts from his sale catalogue, an interesting -and a rare document, as a mournful record of a genius as original and -picturesque, as it was beautiful and holy. His books, prints, drawings (215 -lots), and furniture (105 lots) were sold in the humble house in which he -died, at Shefford, Beds, on the 28th and 29th May, 1824. The far greater -number of his books had been presented to him by his friends, viz. the Duke -of Grafton (a very liberal contributor), Dr. Drake, James Montgomery, -Samuel Rogers, Mrs. Barbauld, Richard Cumberland, Sir James Bland Burges, -Capel Lofft, &c. His autograph manuscript of _The Farmer's Boy_, elegantly -bound, was sold for 14l.; of _Rural Tales_, boards, for 4l.; of _Wild -Flowers_, for 3l. 10s.; of _Banks of the Wye_, for 3l.; of _May-day with -the Muses_ (imperfect), for ten shillings; and _Description of the Aeolian -Harp_ (he was a maker of Aeolian harps), for 15s. His few well-executed -drawings by _himself_ (views of his City Road cottage and garden, &c.) -produced from 5s. to 18s. each. Among his furniture were "A handsome -inkstand, presented to him by the celebrated Dr. Jenner" (in return for his -sweet poem of "Good Tidings"), and the "celebrated oak table, which Mr. -Bloomfield may be said to have rendered immortal by the beautiful and -pathetic poem inscribed to it in his _Wild Flowers_. The first was sold for -6l. 10s., the second for 14l. I am happy in the possession of the _original -miniature_ (an admirable likeness, and finely painted) of Robert -Bloomfield, by Edridge. It is the first and most authentic portrait of him -that was engraved, and prefixed to his poems: - - "And long as Nature in her simplest guise, - And virtuous sensibility we prize, - Of well-earn'd fame no poet shall enjoy - A fairer tribute than _The Farmer's Boy_." - -GEORGE DANIEL. - - * * * * * - -NOTE FOR LONDON TOPOGRAPHERS. - -I send you a note for London topographers. The charter is dateless, but, -inasmuch as Walter de Langeton was appointed to the bishopric of Coventry -and Lichfield in 1295, and Sir John le Bretun was "custos" of London 22 to -25 Edw. I., _i.e._ 1294 to 1297, we may fairly assign it to the years 1296 -or 1297:-- - -"Omnibus Christi fidelibus ad quos presentes litere pervenerint, Johannes -de Notlee salutem in domino.

LARKING. - - * * * * * - -SERMONS BY PARLIAMENTARY CHAPLAINS. - -Perhaps there is nothing in ecclesiastical writings more ludicrously and -rabidly solemn than the sermons preached before "The Honourable House of -Commons" during the Protectorate, by that warlike race of saints who figure -so extensively in the {35} history of those times. I possess some thirty of -these, and extract from their pages the following morsels, which may be -taken as a fair sample of the general strain: - -From - - "'Gemitus Columbae,' the Mournful Note of the Dove; a Sermon preached," - &c.: by John Langley, Min. of West Tuperley in the Countie of - Southampton. 1644. - - "The oxen were plowing, the asses were feeding beside them ('twas in - the relation of one of Job's messengers). By the oxen wee are to - vnderstand the laborious Clergie; by the asses, that were feeding - beside them, wee may vnderstande the Laity" (!).--P. 8. - - "The worde set on by the Spirit, as Scanderbags' sworde, by the arme of - Scanderbags, will make a deepe impression."--P. 16. - -Query, what is the allusion here? - - "We came to the height, shall I saye, of our fever (or frenzie, - rather), when _wee began to catch Dotterills_, when wee fell to - cringing and complimenting in worship, stretching out a wing to their - wing, a legge to their legge."--P. 18. - - "Time was when the _Dove-cote was searched, the Pistolls were cockt; - the Bloudie-birdes were skirring about_: then the Lord withdrew the - birds."--P. 29. - - "When your ginnes and snares _catch any of the Bloudie-birdes, dally - not with them, blood will have blood_; contracte not their - bloude-guiltinesse vpon your owne soules, by an vnwarranted clemencie - and mildnesse."--P. 30. - - "(_Note._--The 'Bloudie-birdes,' _i. e._ the cavaliers.)" - -From - - "A Peace Offering to God: a Sermon preached," &c., by Stephen Marshall, - B.D. 1641. - - "Not like tavernes, and alehouses, howses of lewd and debauched - persons, where _Zim and Jim_ dwels, dolefull creatures, fitt only to be - agents to Satan."--P. 50. - -I conclude with a rather interesting scrap, which I do not remember to have -met with elsewhere, from - - "The Ruine of the Authors and Fomentors of Ciuill Warre; a Sermon," - &c., by Samuel Gibson. 1645. - - "There was a good motto written ouer the gates at Yorke, at King James - the Firste his firste entraunce into that city: - - 'Suavis Victoriae amor populi.' - - _i. e._ the sweete victorie is the love of the people."--P. 27. - -R. C. WARDE. - -Kidderminster. - - * * * * * - -A PERSPECTIVE VIEW OF TWELVE POSTAGE-STAMPS. - -In the advertising sheet of "N. & Q." for December 18, 1852, its unartistic -readers have the tempting offer placed before them of being taught "the art -of drawing and copying portraits, views, steel or wood engravings, with -perfect accuracy, ease, and quickness, _in one lesson_! And when the gentle -reader of "N. & Q." has recovered from the shock of this startling -announcement, he is further instructed that, "by sending a stamped directed -envelope and twelve postage-stamps, the necessary articles will be -forwarded with the instructions." Who would not, thinks the gentle reader, -be a Raphael, a Rubens, or a Claude, when the metamorphosis may be effected -for twelve postage-stamps? And then, delighted with the thought that no -expensive residence in Italy, or laborious application through long years -of study, will be required, but that the royal road to art may be traversed -by paying the small toll of twelve postage-stamps, he forthwith gives them -to "Mr. A. B. Cleveland, 13. Victoria Street, Brighton," and in due course -of time Mr. A. B. C. forwards him "the necessary articles with the -instructions," the former of which the gentle reader certainly finds to be -"no expensive apparatus," but as simple as A, B, C. The articles consist of -a small piece of black paper, and a small piece of common tissue paper, -oiled in a manner very offensive to a susceptible nose. The instructions -are printed, and are prefaced by a paragraph which truly declares them to -be "most simple:" - - "The outlines must be sketched by the following means, and may _be - filled up according to pleasure_. In the first place, _lay what you - intend to copy straight before you_; then _lay over it_ the transparent - paper, and you will see the outlines most distinctly; pencil them over - lightly, taking care to keep the paper in the same position until you - have finished the outlines; after which, place the paper or card you - intend the copy to appear on under the black tracing-paper, with the - black side on it, and on which place the outlines you have previously - taken, remembering to keep them all straight, and then, by passing a - piece of wire (or anything brought to a point not sufficient to - scratch) correctly over the said outlines, you will have an exact - impression of the original upon the card intended, _which must then be - filled up_. I would recommend a portrait _for the first attempt_, which - can be done in a few minutes, and you will soon see your success. _Of - course you can ink or paint the copy according to pleasure._" - -"Why, of course I can," probably exclaims the now un-gentle reader; "of -course I can, when I have the ability to do it,--a consummation which I -devoutly wish for, and which I am quite as far from as when I was -weak-minded enough to send my twelve postage-stamps to Mr. A. B. C.; and -yet that individual encloses me a card along with his nasty oiled paper and -'instructions,' which card he has the assurance to head 'scientific!' and -says, 'the exquisite and beautiful art of drawing landscapes, &c. from -nature, in true perspective, with perfect accuracy, ease, and quickness, -taught to the most inexperienced person in ONE _lesson_.' {36} - -"I should like to know how I am to lay the landscape straight before me, -and put my oiled paper on the top of it, and trace its outlines in true -perspective? I should like also to know, since Mr. A. B. C. recommends a -portrait for the first attempt, how I am to lay the transparent paper over -my wife's face, without her nose making a hole in the middle of it? It is -all very well for Mr. A. B. C. to say that he 'continues to receive very -satisfactory testimonials respecting the RESULT of his instructions, which -are remarkable for simplicity (I allow that), and invaluable for -correctness' (I deny that). But, although he prints 'result' in capital -letters, all the testimonial that I can give him will be to testify to the -(on his part) satisfactory result attending his 'art of drawing' twelve -postage-stamps out of my pocket." - -Thus, can I imagine, would the gentle reader soliloquise, on finding he had -received two worthless bits of paper in return for his investment of -postage-stamps. My thoughts were somewhat the same; for I, alas! sent -"twelve postage-stamps," which are now lost to view in the dim perspective, -and I shall only be too happy to sell Mr. A. B. C. his instructions, &c. at -half-price. In the mean time, however, I forward them for Mr. Editor's -inspection. - -CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A. - - * * * * * - - -Minor Notes. - -_Cremona Violins._--As many of your readers are no doubt curious about the -prices given, in former times, for musical instruments, I transcribe an -order of the time of Charles II. for the purchase of two Cremona violins. - -"[_Audit Office Enrolments_, vi. 359.] - -"These are to pray and require you to pay, or cause to be paid, to John -Bannester, one of his Ma^{ties} Musicians in Ordinary, the some of fourty -pounds for two Cremona Violins by him bought and delivered for his Ma^{ts} -Service, as may appeare by the Bill annexed, and also tenn pounds for -stringes for two yeares ending June 24, 1662.

It is the fashion with literary sciolists to ignore -the genius of this great man. Let the following extracts stand as evidences -of his profound penetration. - -_Friend_, vol. i. p. 244. (1844): - - "That man has reflected little on human nature who does not perceive - that the detestable maxims and correspondent crimes of the existing - French despotism, have already dimmed the recollections of democratic - phrenzy in the minds of men; by little and little have drawn off to - other objects the electric force of the feelings which had massed and - upholden those recollections; and that a favourable concurrence of - occasions is alone wanting to awaken the thunder and precipitate the - lightning from the opposite quarter of the political heaven." - -Let the events of 1830 and 1848 speak for themselves as to the fulfilment -of this forecast. - -_Biographia Literaria_, vol. i. p. 30. (1847), [after a most masterly -analysis of practical genius]: - - "These, in tranquil times, are formed to exhibit a perfect poem in - palace, or temple, or landscape-garden, &c.... But alas! in times of - tumult they are the men destined to come forth as the shaping spirit of - ruin, to destroy the wisdom of ages in order to substitute the fancies - of a day, and to change kings and kingdoms, as the wind shifts and - shapes the clouds." - -Let the present and the future witness the truth of this insight. We have -(in Coleridge's words) "lights of admonition and warning;" and we may live -to repent of our indifference, if they are thrown away upon us. - -C. MANSFIELD INGLEBY. - -Birmingham. - -_Lord Bacon's Advice peculiarly applicable to the Correspondents of "N. & -Q."_--Lord Bacon has written that-- - - "A man would do well to carry a pencil in his pocket, and write down - the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are generally - the most valuable, and should be secured, because they seldom return." - -W. W. - -Malta. - -_Etymology of Molasses._--The affinity between the orthography of this word -in Italian (melassa), Spanish (melaza), and French (melasse), and our -pronunciation of it (m_e_lasses), would seem to suggest a common origin. -How comes it, then, that we write it with an _o_ instead of an _e_? Walker -says it is derived frown the Italian "mellazzo" (_sic_); and some French -lexicographers trace their "melasse" from [Greek: melas], with reference to -the colour; others from [Greek: meli], in allusion to the taste. But these -Greek derivations are too recondite for our early sugar manufacturers; and -the likelihood {37} is, that they found the word nearer home, in some -circumstance which had less to do with literary refinement than with the -refining of sugar. - -There is an expression in French which is identical in spelling with this -word, namely, "molasse" (softish--so to speak); and which describes the -liquidity of molasses, as distinguished from the granulous substance of -which they are the residue. As our first sugar establishment was formed in -1643, in an island (St. Christopher) one half of which was then occupied by -the French, it is possible that we may have adopted the word from them; and -this conjecture is supported by the following passage in Pere Labat (vol. -iii. p. 93.), where he uses the word "molasse" in the sense of _soft_, to -describe a species of sugar that had not received, or had lost, the proper -degree of consistency. - - "Je vis leur sucre qui me parut tres beau et bien grene, surtout - lorsqu'il est nouvellement fait; mais on m'assura qu'il devenait - cendreux ou _molasse_, et qu'il se decuisait quand il etait garde - quelques jours." - -HENRY H.

Perhaps some of the readers of -"N. & Q." can inform me who and what was the owner of this high-sounding -name. Was he related to Geo. Chapman, the translator of Homer? The -inscription is as follows: - - "Memoriae defunctorum Sacrum - - [Greek: kai tuphonia] - - Siste gradum, Viator, ac leges.

Among these was a small figure, resembling -the Athenian Hermae, consisting of a square pillar, surmounted by the bust -of a female with a peculiar head-dress and close curled coiffure. The -pillar bears the following inscription: - - "[Greek: YST] - [Greek: RAN] - [Greek: S] - [Greek: ANI] - [Greek: KET] - [Greek: O.]" - ---a translation of which would oblige me much. - -Another, in the form of a small votive altar, bears the heads of the "Dii -Majores" and their attributes, the thunderbolt, two-pronged spear, and -trident, and the inscription-- - - "DIIS PROPI - M HERENNII - VIVNTIS" (_i.e._ vivantis). - -Of the meaning of this I am by no means certain; and I have searched -Montfaucon in vain, to discover anything similar. - -A third was a figure of the Egyptian Osiris, exactly resembling in every -point (save the material) the little mummy-shaped figures in bluish-green -porcelain, which are found in such numbers in the catacombs of Ghizeh and -Abousir. As the Columbaria were probably the places of sepulture of the -freedmen, these various traces of national worship would seem to indicate -that they were still allowed to retain the deities peculiar to the -countries from which they came, through their master might be of a -different faith. - -E. S. TAYLOR. - -Ormesby, St. Marg., Norfolk. - - * * * * * - -CHAPEL PLASTER. - -In North Wilts, between Corsham and Bradford, and close to the meeting of -five or six roads, there is a well-known public-house, contiguous to which -is an ancient wayside chapel bearing this peculiar name. Some account of -the place, with two views of the chapel, is given in the _Gentleman's -Magazine_, February, 1835, page 143. The meaning of the word _plaster_ has -always been a puzzle to local antiquaries, and no satisfactory derivation -of it has yet been given. The first and natural notion is, that some -allusion is made to the material with which it may have been coated. But -this is improbable, the building being of good freestone, not requiring any -such external addition. Some have interpreted it to be the chapel of the -_plas-trew_, or "woody place." But this again is very unlikely; as the -place is not only as far as possible from being woody now, but can hardly -ever have been otherwise than what it is. The rock comes close to the -surface, and the general situation is on a bleak exposed hill, as -unfavourable as can be for the growth of trees. Leland, indeed, as he rode -by, took it for a hermitage, and does also say that the country beyond it -"begins to be woody." But {38} a point of meeting of five or six much -frequented roads, a few miles only from Bath and other towns, would be an -unsuitable spot for a hermit; besides which, the country _beyond_ a spot, -is not the spot itself. Others have thought it may have been built by a -person of the name of _Plaister_; one which, though uncommon, is still not -entirely extinct in the county. Of this, however, there is no evidence. - -A derivation has occurred to me from noticing a slight variety in the -spelling and statement of the name, as it is given by one of the ancient -historians of Glastonbury. He calls it "the chapell of _playsters_," and -says that, like one or two houses of a similar kind, it was built for the -relief and entertainment of _pilgrims_ resorting to the great shrine at -that monastery. This indeed is the most reasonable and probable account of -it, as it lies on the direct road between Malmesbury and Glastonbury, and -the prevailing tradition has always been that such was the purpose for -which it was used. It is fair to presume that the name has some connexion -with the use. - -Now, it is well known that pilgrimages were not in all respects very -painful or self-denying exercises, but that, with the devotional feeling in -which they took their origin, was combined, in course of time, a -considerable admixture of joviality and recreation. They were often, in -short, looked upon as parties for merry-making, by people of every class of -life, who would leave their business and duties, on pretence of these pious -expeditions, but really for a holiday, and, as Chaucer himself describes -it, "to _play_ a pilgrimage." ("The Shipmanne's Tale.") Many also were -pilgrims by regular profession, as at this day in Italy, for the pleasure -of an idle gad-about life at other people's expense. May not such -"play-ers" of pilgrimages have been called, in the vernacular of the times, -_play-sters_? The termination _-ster_, said to be derived from a Saxon -noun, seems in our language to signify a _habit_ or _constant employment_. -A _malt-ster_ is one whose sole business it is to make malt; a _tap-ster_, -one whose duties are confined to the tap; a _road-ster_ is a horse -exclusively used as a hack; a _game-ster_, the devotee of the gaming-table. -From these analogies it seems not unreasonable to suppose that the persons -who made a constant habit of attending these pleasant jaunts to -Glastonbury, may have been called by the now-forgotten name of -_play-sters_. If so, "the chapell of _play-sters_" becomes nothing more -than "the chapel of _pilgrims_," according to the best tradition that we -have of it. Perhaps some of your readers may have met with the word in this -sense? - -J. E.

How could two such different sounds as _U_ and _V_ now -represent, come by the old printers both to be denoted by _V_? And is it -supposed that our present mode of pronouncing some words is taken from -their spelling in books? We see this done in foreign names every day by -persons who have no means of ascertaining the correct pronunciation. Can it -have been done extensively in the ordinary words of the language? Or can it -be possible, that the confusion between the printed _V_ and _W_ and _U_ has -produced the confusion in pronouncing such words now beginning with _W_, -which some classes of her Majesty's subjects are said to pronounce as if -they commenced with _V_?

Also, _where_ this very superior line: "Life is like a game -of tables, the chances are not in our power, but the playing is?" _This_ I -have seen quoted as from Jeremy Taylor, but _where_?

He gives the original text (I -suspect not very correctly) from, he says, a MS. in the public library at -Berne. It is a poem in old French verse (something like Chaucer's English), -of about 500 lines, descriptive of a series of _vows_, by which Robert -Comte d'Artois, then an exile in England, engaged Edward III., his queen -and court, to the invasion of France: - - "Dont maint bon chevalier fu jete fort souvin; - Mainte dame fu vesve, et maint povre orfelin; - Et maint bon maronier accourchit son termin; - Et mainte preude femme mise a divers destin; - Et encore sera, si Jhesus n'i met fin." - -The first lines of the poem give the place and date of the transaction, -"London, September, 1338," in King Edward's "palais marbrin." The -versification is as strange as the matter. The author has taken great pains -to collect as many words rhyming together as possible. The first twenty-six -lines rhyme to "in;" the hundred next to "is;" then fifty to "ent," and so -on: but the lines have all their rhythm, and some are smooth and -harmonious. Has any other MS. been discovered? Has it been elsewhere -printed? Has it been translated into English, or has any English author -noticed it? If these questions are answered in the negative, I would -suggest that the Camden, or some such society, would do well to reprint it, -with a translation, and Sainte Palaye's commentary, and whatever additional -information can be gathered about it; for although it evidently is a -_romance_, it contains many particulars of the court of England, and of the -manners of the time, which are extremely curious, and which must have a -good deal of truth mixed up with the chivalrous fable. - -C. - -_Inscriptions on a Dagger-case._--I have in my possession a small -dagger-case, very beautifully carved in box-wood, bearing the following -inscriptions on two narrow sides, and carved representations of Scripture -subjects on the other two broad sides. - - _Inscriptions._ - - "DIE EEN PENINCK WINT ENDE BEHOVT DIE - MACHT VERTEREN ALS HI WORT OWT HAD." - - "ICK DAT BEDOCHT IN MIN IONGE DAGEN SO - DORST ICK HET IN MIN OVTHEIT NIET BEGLAGEN." - -On the other sides the carvings, nine in number, four on one side, one -above another, represent the making of Eve, entitled "Scheppin;" the -Temptation, entitled "Paradis;" the Expulsion, "Engelde;" David with the -head of Goliath, "Davide." At the foot of this side the date "1599," and a -head with pointed beard, &c. beneath. On the other side are five subjects: -the uppermost, entitled "Hesterine," represents Queen Esther kneeling -before Ahasuerus. 2. "Vannatan," a kneeling figure, another stretching his -arm over him, attendants following with offerings. 3. "Solomone," the -judgment of Solomon. 4. "Susannen." 5.

Two entries on the Patent Rolls respectively of the 21st and -22d Richard II., as cited in the pedigree, prove that event to have taken -place before Lord Neville of Raby's creation as Earl of Westmoreland; and I -am inclined to think that his creation was rather a consequence of his -exalted alliance than, as the later and falsely assigned date would lead -one to infer, that his creation preceded his marriage by twelve or thirteen -years. - -Robert Ferrers son and heir of Robert, first Lord Ferrers of Wemme (second -son of Robert, third Baron Ferrers of Chartley), and of Elizabeth, daughter -and heiress of William Boteler of Wemme, was born circa 1372, being eight -years old at his father's death in 1380 (_Esc._, 4 Ric. II., No. 25.). He -married Joan Beaufort, only daughter of John Duke of Lancaster by Catharine -Swynford, who became the duke's third wife, 13th January, 1396; their issue -before marriage having been made legitimate by a patent read in parliament, -and dated 9th February, 1397 (_Pat._, 20 Ric. II. p. 2. m. 6.). It might -almost be inferred from the description given to Joan, Lady Ferrers, in the -patent of legitimation, "dilectae _nobis nobili mulieri Johannae Beauford, -domicellae_," that her first husband was not then living. We find, however, -that she had certainly become the wife of the Lord Neville before the 16th -of February following, and that Lord Ferrers was then dead (_Johanne qui -fuist femme de Monsieur Robert Ferrers que Dieu assoile_): _Pat._, 21 Ric. -II. p. 2. m. 22.; _Pat_., 22 Ric. II. p. 3. m. 23. The Lord Ferrers left by -her only two daughters, his coheirs, viz. Elizabeth, wife of John, sixth -Baron Greystock, and Mary, wife of Ralph Neville, a younger son of Ralph, -Lord Neville of Raby, by his first wife Margaret Stafford. The mistake in -ascribing Lord Ferrers' death to the year 1410, has probably arisen from -that being the year in which his mother died, thus recorded in the -pedigrees: "Robert Ferrers, s. & h. ob^t _vita matris_," who (_i.e._ the -mother) died 1410 (_Esc._, 12 Hen. IV., No. 21.). His widow remarried -Ralph, Lord Neville of Raby, fourth baron, who was created Earl of -Westmoreland, 29th September, 1397[1], {42} and died 1425. The Countess of -Westmoreland died 13th November, 1440. - -As regards the Queen's descent from John, Duke of Lancaster, in the -strictly legitimate line, I may wish to say a word at another time. Allow -me now, with reference to the same pedigree, to append a Query to this -Reply: Can any of your learned genealogical readers direct me to the -authority which may have induced Miss A. Strickland, in her amusing -_Memoirs of the Lives of the English Queens_, to give so strenuous a denial -of Henry VIII.'s queen, Jane Seymour's claim to a royal lineage? Miss -Strickland writes: - - "Through Margaret Wentworth, the mother of Jane Seymour, a descent from - the blood-royal of England was claimed, from an intermarriage with a - Wentworth and a daughter of Hotspur and Lady Elizabeth Mortimer, - grand-daughter to Lionel, duke of Clarence. This Lady Percy is stated - by all ancient heralds to have died childless. Few persons, however, - dared dispute a pedigree with Henry VIII.," &c.--_Lives of the Queens - of England_, by Agnes Strickland, vol. iv. p. 300. - -This is a question, I conceive, of sufficient historical importance to -receive a fuller investigation, and fairly to be determined, if possible. - -The pedigree shows the following descent:--Lionel Plantagenet, Duke of -Clarence, third son of King Edward III. and Philippa of Hainault, left by -Elizabeth de Burgh (daughter of William de Burgh, Earl of Ulster, and Maud -Plantagenet, second daughter of Henry, third Earl of Lancaster) an only -child, Philippa, married to Edmund Mortimer, third Earl of March (_Esc._, 5 -Ric. II., No. 43.). The eldest daughter of Philippa Plantagenet by the Earl -of March was Elizabeth Mortimer, who married the renowned Hotspur, Henry -Lord Percy, son and heir apparent of Henry Lord Percy, created Earl of -Northumberland, 16th July, 1377, K. G. Hotspur was slain at the battle of -Shrewsbury, 7th September, 1403, _v.p._ His widow experienced the -revengeful persecution of King Henry (Rymer, viii. 334., Oct. 8, 1403), and -died, leaving by her said husband one son, Henry, who became second Earl of -Northumberland, and an only daughter, Elizabeth de Percy, who married -firstly, John, seventh Lord Clifford of Westmoreland, who died 13th March, -1422 (_Esc._, 10 Henry V., No. 37.), and secondly, Ralph Neville, second -Earl of Westmoreland (_Esc._, 15 Hen. VI., No. 55.), by whom she left an -only child, Sir John Neville, Knight, who died during his father's -lifetime, 20th March, 1451, _s.p._ (Will proved 30th March, 1451.) Lady -Elizabeth de Percy, who died in October, 1436, left by her first husband, -the Lord Clifford, three children: Thomas, eighth Lord Clifford; Henry, her -second son; and an only daughter, Mary, who became the wife of Sir Philip -Wentworth, Knight. The Lady Mary Clifford, who must have been born before -1422 (her father having died in that year), was probably only a few years -older than her husband Sir Philip, the issue of a marriage which took place -in June, 1 Henry VI., 1423 (_Cott. MSS. Cleop._, F. iv. f. 15.); she was -buried in the church of the Friars Minor at Ipswich, where her -mother-in-law directed a marble to be laid over her body. Sir Philip's -father, Roger Wentworth, Esq. (second son of John Wentworth of North -Elmsal, a scion of the house of Wentworth of the North), had married in -1423 Margery Lady de Roos, widow of John Lord de Roos, sole daughter and -heiress of Elizabeth de Tibetot, or Tiptoft (third daughter and co-heir of -Robert, Lord de Tibetot), and of Sir Philip le Despenser Chivaler (_Esc._, -18 Edw. IV., No. 35.). By this marriage came, first, Sir Philip Wentworth, -Knight, born circa 1424, and married when about {43} twenty-three years of -age, in 1447; he was slain in 1461, and attainted of high treason in the -parliament held 1 Edw.

MSS._, 1560. 1449-1484, and -will of Margery, Lady de Roos, proved in the Prerogative Court of -Canterbury, 28th May, 1478).

The issue of this marriage was Sir -Henry Wentworth of Nettlestead, in the county of Suffolk, Knight, his son -and heir (will of Margery, Lady de Roos, proved as above), born circa 1448, -being thirty years of age at his grandmother's death in 1478 (_Esc._, 18 -Edward IV., No. 35.), and died in 1500. His will was proved in the -Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 27th February, 1501. Sir Henry, son of Sir -Philip, was restored in blood by an act of parliament passed in the 4th of -Edward IV.

Even the exposure of error, -and the showing up of crotchets, is of no inconsiderable use. I beg to -submit that C. himself (unless there are other Richmonds in the field) has -done good service in this way. See _Grummett_, _Slang Phrases_, _Martinet_, -_Cockade_, _Romane_, _Covey_, _Bummaree_, &c. - -I do not, indeed, give implicit faith to his _Steyne_, and some more.

Even in the first volume, the discussions on -_Pokership_, _Daysman_, _News_, and a great many others, seem to me at -least valuable contributions to general knowledge on etymology. - -As to my remark (Vol. vi., p. 462.) about the derivation of _leader_, C. -has, perhaps excusably, for the sake of the pun, done me injustice. I -hazarded it on the authority of one who has been in the trade, and, as I -believe, in the _cuicunque perito_. I beg to inclose his own account. He -says: - - "It is a fact, that when _editorial_ articles are sent to the printer, - written directions are generally sent with them denoting what type is - to be used: thus, _brevier leads_, or _bourgeois leads_, signifying - that the articles are to be set in brevier or bourgeois type with - _lead_ strips between the lines, to keep them further asunder. It is - also a fact, that such articles are denominated in the printing-office - 'leaded articles'--hence, leaders." - -I submit if this does not justify my Note. I grant, however, many of those -articles are entitled also to be called _leaden_, as C. will have it. - -I do not think, however, that in tracing recent words, we should not give -possible as well as certain origins. Many words, if not a double, have at -least several putative origins. - -Let me subscribe myself--_seu male seu bene_-- - -NOTA. - -P. S.--I would like to suggest that this origin of the term "leading -article" is the most favourable to the modesty of any single writer for the -Press, who should hardly pretend to _lead_ public opinion. - - * * * * * - -LINES ON TIPPERARY. - -(Vol. vi., p. 578.) - -These lines were said to have been addressed to a Dr. Fitzgerald, on -reading the following couplet in his apostrophe to his native village:-- - - "And thou! dear Village, loveliest of the clime, - Fain would I name thee, but I scant in rhyme." - -I subjoin a tolerably complete copy of this "rime doggrele:" - - "A Bard there was in sad quandary, - To find a rhyme for Tipperary. - Long labour'd he through January, - Yet found no rhyme for Tipperary; - Toil'd every day in February, - But toil'd in vain for Tipperary; - Search'd Hebrew text and commentary, - But search'd in vain for Tipperary; - Bored all his friends at Inverary, - To find a rhyme for Tipperary; - Implored the aid of 'Paddy Cary,' - Yet still no rhyme for Tipperary; - He next besought his mother Mary, - To tell him rhyme for Tipperary; - But she, good woman, was no fairy, - Nor witch--though born in Tipperary;-- - Knew everything about her dairy, - But not the rhyme for Tipperary; - {44} - The stubborn muse he could not vary, - For still the lines would run contrary, - Whene'er he thought on Tipperary; - And though of time he was not chary, - 'Twas thrown away on Tipperary; - Till of his wild-goose chase most weary, - He vow'd to leave out Tipperary. - - . . . . . . - - But, no--the theme he might not vary, - His longing was not temporary, - To find meet rhyme for Tipperary. - He sought among the gay and airy, - He pester'd all the military, - Committed many a strange vagary, - Bewitch'd, it seem'd, by Tipperary. - He wrote post-haste to Darby Leary, - Besought with tears his Auntie Sairie:-- - But sought he far, or sought he near, he - Ne'er found a rhyme for Tipperary. - He travell'd sad through Cork and Kerry, - He drove 'like mad' through sweet Dunleary, - Kick'd up a precious tantar-ara, - But found no rhyme for Tipperary; - Lived fourteen weeks at Stran-ar-ara, - Was well nigh lost in Glenegary, - Then started 'slick' for Demerara, - In search of rhyme for Tipperary. - Through 'Yankee-land,' sick, solitary, - He roam'd by forest, lake, and prairie, - He went _per terram et per mare_, - But found no rhyme for Tipperary. - Through orient climes on Dromedary, - On camel's back through great Sahara; - His travels were extraordinary, - In search of rhyme for Tipperary. - Fierce as a gorgon or chimaera, - Fierce as Alecto or Megaera, - Fiercer than e'er a lovesick bear, he - Raged through 'the londe' of Tipperary. - His cheeks grew thin and wond'rous hairy, - His visage long, his aspect 'eerie,' - His _tout ensemble_, faith, would scare ye, - Amidst the wilds of Tipperary. - Becoming hypochon-dri-ary, - He sent for his apothecary, - Who ordered 'balm' and 'saponary,' - Herbs rare to find in Tipperary. - In his potations ever wary, - His choicest drink was 'home gooseberry,' - On 'swipes,' skim-milk, and smallest beer, he - Scanted rhyme for his Tipperary. - Had he imbibed good old Madeira, - Drank 'pottle-deep' of golden sherry, - Of Falstaff's sack, or ripe canary, - No rhyme had lack'd for Tipperary. - Or had his tastes been literary, - He might have found extemporary, - Without the aid of dictionary, - Some fitting rhyme for Tipperary. - Or had he been an antiquary, - Burnt 'midnight oil' in his library, - Or been of temper less 'camsteary,' - Rhymes had not lack'd for Tipperary. - He paced about his aviary, - Blew up, sky-high, his secretary, - And then in wrath and anger sware he, - There was _no_ rhyme for Tipperary." - -May we not say with Touchstone, "I'll rhyme you so, eight years together; -dinners, and suppers, and sleeping hours excepted: it is the right -butter-woman's rank to market." - -J. M. B. - - * * * * * - -SHAKESPEARE EMENDATIONS. - -(Vol. vi., p. 312.) - -I cannot receive MR. CORNISH'S substitution (p. 312.) of "chommer" for -_clamour_ in the _Winter's Tale_, Act IV. Sc. 3. In my opinion, _clamour_ -is nearly or altogether the right word, but wrongly spelt. We have a verb -_to clam_, which, as connected with _clammy_, we use for sticking with -glutinous matter; but which originally must, like the kindred German -_klemmen_, have signified _to press_, _to squeeze_; for the kind of wooden -vice used by harness-makers is, at least in some places, called a _clams_. -I therefore suppose the clown to have said _clam_, or perhaps _clammer_ -(_i.e._ hold) _your tongues._ - -Highly plausible as is MR. C.'S other emendation in the same place of _2 -Henry IV._, Act III. Sc. 1., I cannot receive it either. In Shakspeare the -word _clown_ is almost always nearly equivalent to the Spanish _gracioso_, -and denotes humour; and surely we cannot suppose it to be used of the -ship-boy. Besides, a verb is wanted, as the causal particle _for_ is as -usual to be understood before "Uneasy lies," &c. I see no objection -whatever to the common reading, though _possibly_ the poet wrote: - - "Then, happy _boy_, lie down." - -There never, in my opinion, was a happier emendation than that of _guidon_ -for _guard_; _On_, in _Henry V._, Act IV. Sc. 2.; and its being made by two -persons independently, gives it--as MR. COLLIER justly observes of -_palpable_ for _capable_ in _As You Like It_--additional weight. We are to -recollect that a Frenchman is the speaker. I find _guidon_ used for banner -in the following lines of Clement Marot (Elegie III.): - - "De Fermete le grand _guidon_ suivrons," - -and-- - - "Cestuy _guidon_ et triomphante enseigne, - Nous devons suyvre: Amour le nous enseigne." - -The change of _a sea of troubles_ to _assay of troubles_ in _Hamlet_ is -very plausible, and ought perhaps to be received. So also is SIR F. -MADDEN'S of _face_ for _case_ (which last is downright nonsense) in -_Twelfth Night_, Act V. Sc. 1. But I would just hint that as all the rest -of the Duke's speech is in rhyme, it is not impossible that the poet may -have written-- - - "O thou dissembling cub! what wilt thou be - When time hath sow'd a grizzle upon thee?" - -{45} - -Allow me now to put a question to the critics. In the two concluding lines -of the _Merchant of Venice_ (the speaker, observe, is the jesting -Gratiano): - - "Well, while I live, I'll fear no other thing - So sore, as keeping safe Nerissa's ring." - -May there not be a covert allusion to the story first told by Poggio in his -_Facetiae_, then by Ariosto, then by Rabelais, then by La Fontaine, and, -finally, by Prior, in his _Hans Carvel_? Rabelais was greatly read at the -time. - -THOMAS KEIGHTLEY. - - * * * * * - -STATUES REPRESENTED ON COINS. - -(Vol. vi., p. 485.) - -Mr. Burgon (_Inquiry into the Motive of the Representations on Ancient -Coins_, p. 19.) says: - - "I do not believe that the types of coins are, on any occasion, - original compositions; but always copied from some sacred public - monument.... When we find Minerva represented on coins, we are not to - understand the type as _a Minerva_, but _the Minerva of that place_; - and in some cases which might be brought forward, the individual - statues which are represented on coins, or ancient copies, will be - found still to exist." - -This opinion is certainly borne out by a very great number of proofs, and -may almost be considered demonstrated. The Farnese Hercules is found on -many coins, Roman and Greek. The commonest among the Roman are those of -Gordianus Pius, 1st and 2nd brass, with "VIRTVTI AVGVSTI." Three colonial -coins of Corinth, of Severus, Caracalla, and Geta (Vaillant, _Num. Imp. -Coloniis percuss_., ii. 7. 32. 54.), exhibit the same figure. As an -additional illustration of Mr. Burgon's view, I would advert to the -Corinthian coin of Aurelius (Vaill. i. 182.), which has a Hercules in a -different attitude; and which Vaillant regards as a copy of the statue -mentioned by Pausanias as existing at Corinth. Du Choul (_Religio vet. -Rom._, 1685, pp. 158, 159.) gives a coin representing Hercules killing -Antaeus; and quotes Pliny for a statue representing this by Polycletus. -Haym also (_Tesoro_, i. 248.) gives a coin with a reversed view of the same -subject. The figures of Hercules on coins of Commodus are certainly copied -from the statues of that Emperor. Baudelot de Dairval (_De l'Utilite des -Voyages_) gives a small silver statuette of Commodus as Hercules, certainly -copied from the larger statues, and corresponding with those on coins. - -I am not aware of any coins exhibiting exactly the Venus de Medici. It is -possible, however, that they exist, though I cannot at present find them. -Haym (_Tesoro_, ii. 246., tab. xvi. 3.) gives a coin of Cnidus, with a very -similar representation, the Cnidian Venus, known to be copied from a statue -by Praxiteles. - -I must say the same as to the Apollo Belvidere. - -I cannot at present refer to an engraving of the equestrian statue of -Aurelius, but Mr. Akerman (_Descr. Cat._, i. 280. 12. 14., 283. 10.) -describes gold coins and a medallion of Aurelius, representing him on -horseback; and I find in the plates appended by De Bie to _Augustini -Antiquatum ex Nummis Dialogi_, Antw., 1617, plate 47., one of these coins -engraved. I find the medallion engraved also by Erizzo (last edition, n. -d., p. 335.) who explains it as referring to this statue. He says, however, -that the attribution of the statue was uncertain; and that on a medallion -of Antoninus Pius, which he possessed, exactly the same representation was -found, whence he was inclined to suppose it rather erected for Antoninus -Pius. - -I suppose the coins of Domna, alluded to by MR. TAYLOR, are those with the -legend "VENERI VICTRICI." In spite of the attitude, I can hardly think this -intended for Venus Callipyge, from the fact that Venus Victrix is found in -the same attitude on other coins, holding arms; and sometimes again holding -arms, but in a different attitude, and more or less clothed. The legend is -opposed also to this idea. See the coins engraved by Ondaan, or Oiselius, -Plate LII. The coin of Plantilla in Du Choul (l. c. p. 188.) is a stronger -argument; for here is seen a partially clothed Venus Victrix, with the same -emblems, leaning on a shield, as the Venus of Domna leans on a column, but -turned towards the spectator instead of away: thus demonstrating that no -allusion to Callipyge is to be seen in either. - -Erizzo (l. c. p. 519.) mentions the discovery at Rome of a fragment of a -marble statue inscribed "VENERIS VICTRICIS." - -In the British Museum (_Townley Gallery_, i. 95.) is a bas-relief -representing the building of the ship Argo. There is described in the -_Thomas Catalogue_, p. 22. lot 236., an unpublished (?) medallion of -Aurelius, possibly copied from this very bas-relief. A very doubtful -specimen exists in the Museum of the Scottish Antiquaries, which enables me -to make this assertion, although it is not minutely described in the -catalogue, and is otherwise explained. This is an additional confirmation -of the original statement, and many more might be added but for the -narrower limits allowed, which I fear I have already transgressed. - -W. H. SCOTT. - -Edinburgh. - - * * * * * - -JUDGE JEFFREYS. - -(Vol. vi., pp. 149. 432. 542.) - -This extraordinary and inhuman man was the sixth son of John Jeffreys, -Esq., of Acton, near Wrexham, co. Denbigh, by Margaret, daughter of Sir -Thomas Ireland, Knight, of Bewsey, and was born _at his father's house_ -about the year 1648. {46} He died on the 19th of April, 1689, at -thirty-five minutes past four in the morning. The tradition that his -remains were deposited at Enfield is incorrect. He was first interred in -the Tower privately, and after three years, when the day of persecution was -past, his friends petitioned that they might be allowed to remove the -coffin. This was granted, and by a warrant dated the 30th of September, -1692, signed by the queen and directed to the governor of the Tower, the -body of Lord Jeffreys was removed, and buried a second time in a vault -under the communion-table of St. Mary, Aldermanbury. As regards the number -of places pointed out as the residence of Judge Jeffreys, the following are -mentioned in the bill that was brought in for the forfeiture of his honour -and estate. - -In Salop he had the manors of Wem and Loppington, with many other lands and -tenements; in Leicestershire the manors of Dalby and Broughton; he bought -Dalby of the Duke of Buckingham, and after his death it passed to Sir -Charles Duncombe, and descended to Anthony Duncombe, afterwards Lord -Feversham. In Bucks he had the manor of Bulstrode, which he had purchased -of Sir Roger Hill in 1686, and the manor of Fulmer, with other tenements. -He built a mansion at Bulstrode, which came afterwards to his son-in-law, -Charles Dive, who sold it in the reign of Queen Anne, to William, Earl of -Portland, in whose family, now aggrandised by a dukedom, it still -continues. And he had an inclination at one time to have become the -purchaser of another estate (Gunedon Park), but was outwitted by one of his -legal brethren. Judge Jeffreys held his court in Duke Street, Westminster, -and made the adjoining houses towards the park his residence. These houses -were the property of Moses Pitt the bookseller (brother of the Western -Martyrologist), who, in his _Cry of the Oppressed_, complains very strongly -against his tenant, the chancellor. Jeffreys's "large house," according to -an advertisement in the _London Gazette_, was let to the three Dutch -ambassadors who came from Holland to congratulate King William upon his -accession in 1689. It was afterwards used for the Admiralty Office, until -the middle of King William's reign. - - "The house is easily known," says Pennant, "by a large flight of stone - steps, which his royal master permitted to be made into the park - adjacent, for the accommodation of his lordship. These steps terminate - above in a small court, on three sides of which stands the house." - -EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. - -The birthplace of Judge Jeffreys should not be a matter of doubt. The old -house at Acton in which his father lived, was in the parish of Wrexham, and -close to the confines of that parish and Gresford. It was pulled down about -seventy years ago, about the time when the present mansion bearing that -same name was built. Twenty years ago there were several persons living in -the neighbourhood who remembered that it stood in the parish of Wrexham. - -Lord Campbell, in his _Lives of the Lord Chancellors of England_, vol. iii. -p. 496., writes,-- - - "He (Judge Jeffreys) of whom such tales were to be told, was born in - his father's lowly dwelling at Acton in the year 1648." - -And he subjoins the following note: - - "This is generally given as the year of his birth, but I have tried in - vain to have it authenticated. There is no entry of his baptism, nor of - the baptism of his brothers, in the register of Wrexham, the parish in - which he was born, nor in the adjoining parish of Gresford, in which - part of the family property lies. I have had accurate researches made - in these registers by the kindness of my learned friend Serjeant - Atcherley, who has estates in the neighbourhood. It is not improbable - that, in spite of the Chancellor's great horror of dissenters, he may - have been baptized by 'a dissenting teacher.'" - -The fact is, however, and it is a fact known certainly twenty years ago to -several of the inhabitants of Gresford and Wrexham, that no register has -been preserved in the parish of Wrexham for a period extending from 1644 to -1662; and none in the parish of Gresford from 1630 to 1660. I may add that -no such registers have been discovered up to this time. - -TAFFY. - -When the family of Jeffreys became possessed of Acton is uncertain, -probably at a very early period, being descended from Cynric ap Rhiwallon, -great-grandson of Tudor Trevor. - -George Jeffreys, afterwards Chancellor, was born at Acton, and was sixth -son of John Jeffreys and Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Ireland of Bewsey, -near Warrington, in Lancashire. In 1708 the estate passed into the family -of the Robinsons of Gwersyllt by the marriage of the eldest daughter and -heiress of Sir Griffith Jeffreys. Ellis Yonge, Esq., of Bryny Orchyn (in -the immediate neighbourhood), purchased the estate of Acton from the -trustees of the said Robinson. The Yonges were in no way related to the -Jeffreys, although bearing the same arms, as being also descended from the -same tribe. - -GRESFORD. - - * * * * * - -DUTCH ALLEGORICAL PICTURE. - -(Vol. vi., pp. 458. 590.) - -In answer to the obliging notice which your correspondent CUTHBERT BEDE -(Vol. vi., p. 590.) has taken of my description of the Dutch allegorical -picture, I beg to say that I agree with him, and admit myself to be -mistaken in supposing the {47} middle picture described (Vol. vi., p. 458.) -to represent St. John Baptist. On examining it again, I have no doubt it is -intended to denote the Ascension of our Lord. The right hand is raised as -in the act of benediction, and, as far as I can make it out (for the paint -is here somewhat rubbed), the fingers are in the position of benediction -described by your correspondent. I do not, however, concur in his -suggestions as to the meaning of the figures on the frame of the picture; -which is not shaped as a _vesica piscis_, but is (as I described it) a -lozenge. The female figure, holding a flaming heart, is, I would say, -_certainly not_ the Virgin Mary. - -The appearance of my account of this picture in your pages has been the -occasion of a very agreeable correspondence with the Editor of the -_Navorscher_ (the Dutch daughter of "N. & Q."). That gentleman has taken a -great interest in the subject, and has enabled me to decypher the mottoes -on the scrolls which run across the three pictures on the right-hand wall -of the room, which, in my former communication, I said I was unable to -read. - -The scroll on the picture nearest the fireplace contains these words: - - "Trouw moet blycken." - -That on the second picture, noticed by CUTHBERT BEDE, is, - - "Liefde boven al." - -And the scroll on the third bears the inscription, as I stated in my former -communication, - - "In Liefd' getrouwe;" - -for so it ought to have been printed. - -These, as the editor of the _Navorscher_ informs me, are the mottoes of -three Haarlem Societies of Rhetoricians called, 1. "De Pelicaen," whose -motto was, "_Trouw moet blycken_:" 2. "De Wyngaertrancken," whose motto -was, "_Liefde boven al_:" and, 3. "Witte Angiren," whose device was, "_In -Liefde getrouwe_." - -I think you are entitled to have whatever information I may glean -respecting this picture, as you so kindly inserted my description of it in -your columns; and I have to thank you for procuring me the acquaintance and -correspondence of the editor of the _Navorscher_. - -J.

LE GREY, whom all -will acknowledge as a talented man, and who has done much for photography, -that the claims he puts forth, and which I give, should be known to your -readers who have not got his work, as they are in direct contradiction to -MR. ARCHER'S letter in your 165th No. In his last published work, page 89., -he states: - - "I was the first to apply collodion to photography. My first - experiments were made in 1849. I used that substance then principally - to give more equality and {48} fineness to the paper. I employed for - that purpose a solution of iodide of potassium in alcohol of forty - degrees saturated with collodion. - - "In continuing these studies I was induced to apply this body upon - glass, to obtain more fineness, and I was soon in possession of an - extremely rapid proceeding, _which I at last consigned to the pamphlet - that I published in 1850, and which was translated into English at the - same time_. - - "I had already at that time indicated the protosulphate of iron for - developing the image, the ammonia and the fluorides as accelerating - agents; and I was the first to announce having obtained by these means - portraits in five seconds in the shade. - - "The pyro-gallic acid is generally used now in place of the sulphate of - iron that I had indicated; but this is wrong, that last salt forming - the image much more rapidly and better, it having to be left less time - in the camera. - - "I believe, then, I have a right to claim for my country and myself the - invention of this would-be English process, _and of having been the - first to indicate the collodion, and of giving the best method that has - been discovered up to the present time_. - - "From the publication of my process, till my return from the voyage - that I had made for the minister, I was little occupied in practising - it, my labours on the dry paper having taken all my time. This has been - used as a weapon against me, to make out that the first trials before - setting out had been quite fruitless, as they had heard nothing more - about it. - - "Nevertheless, I have made my discovery completely public; and if I had - practised it but little, leaving it to others to further develope, it - has only been to occupy myself upon other works of which the public has - still profited. It is then much more ungenerous to wish to take from me - the merit of its invention." - -G. C. - -_Ready Mode of iodizing Paper._--The readiest way I have found of iodizing -the beautiful paper of Canson Freres, is the cyano-iodide of silver, made -as follows: Twenty grains of nitrate of silver may be placed in half an -ounce of distilled water, and half an ounce of solution of iodide of -potassa, fifty grains to the ounce, added to the silver solution. Cyanide -of potassa may then be added, drop by drop, till the precipitate is -dissolved, and the whole filled up with four ounces of water. This solution -requires but a very few minutes' floating upon water containing a small -quantity of sulphuric acid; and it is then ready, after a bath of nitrate -of silver, for the camera, and will not present any of the disagreeable -spots so noticed by most photographers. This paper is probably the best for -negative pictures we have at present; although, if very transparent paper -is required, oiled paper may be used for negative pictures very -successfully; or paper varnished is equally good. The oiled paper may be -prepared as follows: Take the best walnut oil, that oil having less -tendency to darken paper of any other kind, and oil it thoroughly. It must -then be hung up in the light for a few days, the longer the better, till -quite dry. It may then be iodized with the ammonio-nitrate, the ammoniated -solution passing more readily over greased surfaces. The varnished paper -may be prepared by half an ounce of mastic varnish and three ounces of -spirits of turpentine, hung up to dry, and treated as the oiled paper in -iodizing; but both are better for resting a short time previous to iodizing -upon water containing a little isinglass in solution, but used very -sparingly. - -As I have experienced the excellence of these preparations, I hope they may -be useful to your photographic students. - -WELD TAYLOR. - -Bayswater. - -_After-dilution of Solutions._--There are in general use two methods of -preparing sensitive paper. In one, as in Mr. Talbot's, the iodide of silver -is formed in a state of purity, before being rendered sensitive: and as, -for this end, a small quantity only of nitrate of silver is necessary, a -very dilute solution will answer the purpose as well, or even better, than -a strong one; but by the other method, the paper being prepared with iodide -of potassium only, or with some other analogous salt, the iodide of silver -has to be formed by the same solution that renders it sensitive. Now as for -every 166.3 parts of iodide of potassium 170.1 parts of nitrate of silver -are required for this purpose, it is evident that a dilute solution could -not be employed unless a very large bulk were taken, and the paper kept in -a considerable time. - -The after-washing is to remove from the surface of the paper the great -excess of silver, which is of but little service, and prevents the paper -from keeping. - -WILLIAM CROOKES. - -Hammersmith. - -_Stereoscopic Pictures from one Camera._--Your correspondent RAMUS will -easily obtain stereoscopic pictures by either of the following -plans:--After the first picture is taken, move the subject, as on a pivot, -either to the right or left, through an angle of about 15deg; then take the -second impression: this will do very well for an inanimate object, as a -statue; but, if a portrait is required, the camera, after taking the first -picture, must be moved either to the right or left, a distance of not more -than one-fifth of the distance it stands from the sitter; that is, if the -camera is twenty feet from the face of the sitter, the distance between its -first and second position should not exceed four feet, otherwise the -picture will appear distorted, and the stereosity unnaturally great. Of -course it is absolutely necessary in this plan that the sitter do not move -his position between the taking of the two impressions, and also that the -distance between him and the camera be the same in both operations. {49} - -In reply to the very sensible inquiry of SIMPLICITAS, there is an essential -difference between the calotype of Talbot and the waxed-paper process, the -picture in the first being almost entirely superficial, whilst in the -latter it is much more in the body of the paper; this causes the -modification of the treatment. A _tolerably-strong_ solution of (A_9O NO_5) -nitrate of silver is required to decompose the (KI) iodide of potassium, -with which the paper is _saturated_, in any reasonable time, but if this -were allowed to dry on the surface, stains would be the inevitable result; -therefore it is floated in distilled water, to remove this from the -_surface_; and it seems to me that the keeping of the paper depends on the -greater or less extent to which this surface-coating is removed. There can -be no doubt that the paper would be far more sensitive, if used -immediately, without the washing, simply blotting it off; but then the -great advantage of the process would be lost, viz. its capability of being -kept. - -WILLIAM PUMPHREY. - -_Camera for Out-door Operations._--I should be glad to see a clear -description of a camera so constructed as to supersede the necessity for a -dark room. Such a description has been promised by DR. DIAMOND (Vol. vi., -p. 277.); and if he could be induced to furnish it at an early period, I at -least, amongst the readers of "N. & Q.," should feel much additionally -indebted to him. - -E.

I have before me an old and much -mutilated broadside of it, which, at the conclusion, has the initials "L. & -B." I presume the words are wanted, and therefore send them; and not -knowing whether the tune has been published, will also forward it, if -wished for by your querist. - - 1. - - "'Twas on the morn of sweet May-day, - When Nature painted all things gay, - Taught birds to sing, and lambs to play, - And gild the meadows fair; - Young Jockey, early in the morn, - Arose and tript across the lawn; - His Sunday clothes the youth put on, - For Jenny had vow'd away to run - With Jockey to the fair. - For Jenny had vow'd away to run - With Jockey to the fair. - - 2. - - The cheerful parish bells had rung, - With eager steps he trudg'd along, - While rosy garlands round him hung, - Which shepherds us'd to wear; - He tapt the window: 'Haste, my dear;' - Jenny impatient cry'd, 'Who's there?' - ''Tis I, my love, and no one near; - Step gently down, you've nought to fear, - With Jockey to the fair.' - Step gently, &c. - - 3. - - 'My dad and mammy's fast asleep, - My brother's up, and with the sheep; - And will you still your promise keep, - Which I have heard you swear? - And will you ever constant prove?' - 'I will, by all the Powers above, - And ne'er deceive my charming dove. - Dispel those doubts, and haste, my love, - With Jockey to the fair.' - Dispel, &c. - - 4. - - 'Behold the ring,' the shepherd cry'd; - 'Will Jenny be my charming bride? - Let Cupid be our happy guide, - And Hymen meet us there.' - Then Jockey did his vows renew; - He would be constant, would be true. - His word was pledg'd; away she flew, - With cowslips tipt with balmy dew, - With Jockey to the fair. - With cowslips, &c. - - 5. - - In raptures meet the joyful train; - Their gay companions, blithe and young, - Each join the dance, each join the throng, - To hail the happy pair. - In turns there's none so fond as they, - They bless the kind, propitious day, - The smiling morn of blooming May, - When lovely Jenny ran away - With Jockey to the fair. - When lovely, &c. - -H. G.

With this view I venture to submit to -URSULA and W. W. the following conclusions which I have arrived at, after a -careful consideration of all the circumstances. - -I am of opinion that the writer of the letter in question (charging the -Dutch Governor with the above mentioned offence) was the officer commanding -the troops in the English division of St. Christopher; and, in that -capacity, invested with the civil government. At that period, the {50} -administration of our West Indian possessions was generally confided to the -military commandants: our policy, in that respect, being different from -that of the French, who have contrived at all times to maintain, in each of -their colonies, an uninterrupted succession of Governors appointed from -home. - -The name of the Dutch Governor of St. Martin, to whom the letter was -addressed, has not been ascertained. He was probably some buccaneering -chief, who cared as little for the States-General as he did for the -Governor of St. Christopher. If not actually engaged in the piratical -enterprises of his countrymen, he certainly had no objection to receive, -according to usage, the lion's share of the booty as a reward for his -connivance. - -It is very doubtful whether the outrage imputed, in this instance, to the -Dutch Governor, was perpetrated, or even attempted. The buccaneers, -English, French, and Dutch, began by uniting their efforts against the -Spaniards. After a time they "fell out" (as thieves will sometimes do), -and, turning from the common enemy, they directed their marauding -operations against each other. It was doubtless during one of these that -the Dutch captured the English ship in question; detaining the passengers -and crew at St. Martin, in the hope of extorting some considerable ransom -for their release. When, therefore, the English Governor threatened to -complain to the States-General of the "reduction to slavery of English -subjects," we must presume that, by the words "reducing to slavery," he -meant to describe the forcible _detention_ of the passengers and crew; and -that, in doing so, he merely resorted to the expedient of magnifying a -common act of piracy into an outrage of a more heinous character, with the -view of frightening the Dutch authorities into a compliance with his -wishes, and obtaining the restitution of the property and subjects of his -"dread Sovereigne Lord y^e King." The annals of that period are replete -with similar adventures; and Labat relates several of them which he -witnessed during a voyage to Guadaloupe in a vessel belonging to the French -buccaneers. As to the English, the daring exploits of Sir Henry Morgan and -his followers, and the encouragement which they received, both at home and -in the colonies, show that _we_ were not behind our neighbours in those -days of marauding notoriety. - -HENRY H.

C. - -_Sich House_ (Vol. vi., pp. 363. 568.).--_Sike_ or _syke_, a word in common -use in the south of Scotland, and on the Border, meaning a small water run. -In Jamieson's _Dictionary_ it is spelt "_Sike_, _syik_, _syk_, a rill or -rivulet; one that is usually dry in summer; a small stream or rill; a -marshy bottom with a small stream in it." - -J. S.S. - -_Americanisms so called_ (Vol. vi., p. 554.).--The word _bottom_, -signifying a piece of low ground, whether _upon_ a stream of water or not, -is English. I recollect two places at this moment (both dry), in the county -of Surrey, to which the word is applied, viz. Smitham Bottom, to the north -of Reigate, through which the railway runs; and Boxhill Bottom, a few miles -to the westward, in the same range of chalk hills. - -_Sparse_ and _sparsely_, it is said by UNEDA of Philadelphia, _are_ -Americanisms. This, however, is not so. There is a Query on the word -_sparse_ in Vol. i., p. 215. by C. FORBES: and on p. 251. of the same -volume J. T. STANLEY supposes it to be an Americanism, on the authority of -the _Penny Cyclopaedia_. - -I have a strong conviction that I then wrote to "N. & Q." to claim the word -_sparse_ as aboriginal to the British Isles, for I find memoranda I had -made at the time on the margin of my Jamieson's _Dictionary_ on the -subject; but I do not find that what I then wrote had been printed in "N. & -Q." - -In the _Supplement to Jamieson's Dictionary_ is the following: "SPARS, -SPARSE, _adj._ widely spread; as, 'sparse writing' is wide open writing, -occupying a large space." The word is in common use throughout the south of -Scotland. - -I have come to be of opinion that there are few, if any, words that are -real Americanisms, but that (except where the substance or the subject is -quite modern) almost every word and expression now in use among the -Anglo-Americans may be traced to some one of the old provincial dialects of -the British Isles. - -J.

The following, from Daniel's _Introduction to -Chemical Philosophy_ (a most useful work for general readers), will -probably explain all that ADSUM is desirous of knowing: - - "It was first observed by Otto de Guericke and Hawsbee, that the - friction of glass and resinous substances not only produced the - phenomena which we have just described (those of vitreous and resinous - electricity), but, under favourable circumstances, was accompanied by a - rustling or crackling noise; and, when the experiment was made in a - dark room, by flashes and sparks of light upon their surfaces. When - once the attention has been directed to the observation, {52} most - persons will find that such phenomena of electrical light are familiar - occurrences, and often present themselves in suddenly drawing off from - the person a silk stocking, or a flannel waistcoat, or in the _friction - of long hair by combing_. How small a degree of friction is sufficient - to excite electricity in the human body, is shown in a striking way by - placing a person upon an insulating stool (with glass legs). If in such - a position he place his finger upon a gold-leaf electrometer, and - another person flip him lightly with a silk handkerchief, the leaves - will immediately repel each other" (resinous electricity has been - excited).--Page 205. par. 307. - -S.

One lives in the neighbourhood of Truro, -and a brother is vicar of Creed, near Grampound, Cornwall.

KERSLEY for giving -me an opportunity of reconciling my statement respecting Dr. Scott (Vol. -vi., p. 438.) with the inscription on Mr. Burke's monument. Both, I -believe, are true. I quote from the _Authentic Narrative of the Death of -Lord Nelson_, by William Beatty, M.D. &c. The copy of this work which is -before me has the following in Sir W. Beatty's own handwriting: "To the -Rev. Doctor Scott, with every sentiment of regard, by his friend and -messmate, the author." In this "narrative," Dr. Scott and Mr. Burke are -generally described as personally attending on Lord Nelson from the time of -his being brought down into the cockpit. And at p. 50. it is said: "Doctor -Scott and Mr. Burke, who had all along sustained the bed under his -shoulders," &c.: and again at p. 51. "His lordship breathed his last at -thirty minutes past four o'clock: at which period Dr. Scott was in the act -of rubbing his lordship's breast, and Mr. Burke supporting the bed under -his shoulders." All this is represented in West's beautiful picture, which -hangs, in a bad light, in the hall of Greenwich Hospital. - -There is another claimant for the honour of having been Nelson's last -nurse, whose name I forget. His pretensions are recorded on a tablet to his -memory in the chapel of Greenwich Hospital. Dr. Scott's daughter, who was -with me there one day, remonstrated on the subject with old blue jacket who -lionised us. And I put in the lady's right to speak with some authority. -But "what is writ is writ," was enough for our guide: we could make nothing -of him, for he fought our arguments as if they had been so many guns of the -enemy. - -ALFRED GATTY. - -_Robes and Fees in the Days of Robin Hood_ (Vol. vi., p. 479.).--In -translating the ordinances and statutes against maintainers and -conspirators, MR.

He is -convinced that the want of specific acknowledgment will only be felt by -those who have no idea of the labour and difficulty attendant on the -hurried management of such a work, and of the impossibility of sometimes -giving an explanation, when there really is one which would quite satisfy -the writer, for the delay or non-insertion of his communication. -Correspondents in such cases have no reason, and, if they understood an -Editor's position, they would feel that they have no right, to consider -themselves undervalued: but nothing short of personal experience in -editorship would explain to them the perplexities and evil consequences -arising from the opposite course." We have thought well to repeat this -general explanation because we have this week received two inquiries -respecting the non-insertion of communications, neither party giving us his -name nor the subject of the non-inserted communication._ - -H.

The second -suggestion is one to which we, and many of our brethren of the Press, have -turned our attention frequently, but hitherto unsuccessfully.

FREDERICK -MEYRICK, M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. - - "Pleasant meadows, happy peasants, all holy monks, all holy priests, - holy every body. Such charity and such unity, when every man was a - Catholic. I once believed in this Utopia myself, but when tested by - stern facts, it all melts away like dream."--_A. Welby Pugin._ - - "The revelations made by such writers as Mr. Meyrick in Spain and Mr. - Gladstone in Italy, have at least vindicated for the Church of England - a providential and morally defined position, mission, and purpose in - the Catholic Church."--_Morning Chronicle._ - - "Two valuable works ... to the truthfulness of which we are glad to add - our own testimony: one, and the most important, is Mr. Meyrick's - 'Practical Working of the Church of Spain.' This is the experience--and - it is the experience of every Spanish traveller--of a thoughtful - person, as to the lamentable results of unchecked Romanism. Here is the - solid substantial fact. Spain is divided between ultra-infidelity and - what is so closely akin to actual idolatry, that it can only be - controversially, not practically, distinguished from it: and over all - hangs a lurid cloud of systematic immorality, simply frightful to - contemplate. We can offer a direct, and even personal, testimony to all - that Mr. Meyrick has to say."--_Christian Remembrancer._ - - "I wish to recommend it strongly."--_T. K. Arnold's Theological - Critic._ - - "Many passing travellers have thrown more or less light upon the state - of Romanism and Christianity in Spain, according to their objects and - opportunities; but we suspect these 'workings' are the fullest, the - most natural, and the most trustworthy, of anything that has appeared - upon the subject since the time of Blanco White's - Confessions."--_Spectator._ - - "This honest exposition of the practical working of Romanism in Spain, - of its everyday effects, not its canons and theories, deserves the - careful study of all, who, unable to test the question abroad, are - dazzled by the distant mirage with which the Vatican mocks many a - yearning soul that thirsts after water-brooks pure and - full."--_Literary Gazette._ - -JOHN HENRY PARKER, Oxford; and 377.

Let him - see the numberless minute verbal criticisms; the elaborate - topographical annotations with which each page is loaded; the - historical, genealogical, and biographical notices; the lucid and - ingenious illustrations, drawn from the ancient laws, customs, - traditions and institutions of Ireland; the parallelisms and - discrepancies of the narrative with that of other annalists, both - native and foreign; the countless authorities which are examined and - adjusted; the errors which are corrected; the omissions and - deficiencies supplied; in a word, the curious and various learning - which is everywhere displayed. Let him remember the mines from which - all those treasures have been drawn are, for the most part, unexplored; - that the materials thus laudably applied to the illustration of the - text are in great part manuscripts which Ussher and Ware, even Waddy - and Colgen, not to speak of Lynch and Lanigan, had never seen, or left - unexamined; many of them in a language which is to a great extent - obsolete." - -A Prospectus of the Work will be forwarded gratis to any application made -to the Publishers. - -Dublin: HODGES & SMITH, Grafton Street, Booksellers to the University. - -London: LONGMAN & Co.; and SIMPKIN, MARSHALL, & Co. - - * * * * * - - -125. _Fleet Street, London_, Jan. 1. 1853. - -_One Hundred Days' Sale of Books and other Property._ - -MR.
