SOME NOTES ON ARUNDEL HOUSE, STRAND,
AND ON THE DISPERSION OF SCULPTURES
FORMERLY PART OF THE ARUNDELIAN
COLLECTION.
The celebrated Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, was son of Philip
Howard, Earl of Arundel—the faithful and constant, who being persecuted
for his religion, was suffered by Queen Elizabeth to languish in the Tower,
where he died in 1595—and great-grandson of Henry Howard, Earl of
Surrey, the accomplished nobleman who was beheaded in 1547 by "the
Nero of the Tudor race." Thomas Howard was restored, as your readers
know, to the earldom of Arundel by James I., and in the reign of that king
and of Charles I., who held him in veneration, received other honours and
employments, but was yet more distinguished by his munificent patronage
of the arts and of learning. He is called "the only great subject of the
northern parts, who by his conversation and great collections set a value"
upon transalpine lands; and he began about 1614 to decorate with the
precious and costly works of art which he had collected in Greece and in his
beloved Italy, the gardens and galleries of his quaint old palace in London,
called Arundel House.
This mansion, or rather collection of buildings, the site of which had
been taken from the see of Bath in the time of "Protector" Somerset,
appears from Hollar's Views (as is stated by Mr. Cunningham in his
admirable Handbook of London Past and Present) to have comprised a
range of irregular buildings, principally of red brick, erected at various
periods, and combined without much regard to elegance or uniformity;

uniformity in building, and to have been made chief commissioner for
promoting this object in London. This famous, and once hospitable,
mansion, stood between the gardens of Essex House on the east, and of
Somerset (then Denmark) House on the west, its pleasure grounds coming
down to the river, and commanding a fine view of the city as far as London
Bridge, and of Westminster, and westward to Nine Elms. It is mentioned by
Mr. Cunningham, that in this house Hollar drew his well-known view of
London, as seen from the roof. The earl, of whose taste and munificence the
Arundelian collections formed a noble monument, departed this life at
Padua, on the 4th of October (or, as another account[1] says, the 26th
September), 1646, in the sixty-first year of his age, having been two years
before created Earl of Norfolk, in consideration of his lineal descent from
Thomas de Brotherton, Earl of Norfolk, a younger son of King Edward I.,
and was interred at Arundel. His will, dated at Dover, 3rd September, 1640,
was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and is printed in the
Howard Anecdotes. His marbles, medals, statues, books, and pictures (he is
said to have possessed "a larger number of Hans Holbein's works than any
other person, and to have been the first nobleman who set a value on them
in our nation"), formed at that period, says Sir Charles Young,[2] one of the
finest and most splendid collections in England. Many of the articles of
virtu and of the books were, during his lifetime, in the possession of
Alathea, his Countess (who was a third daughter and coheir of Gilbert
Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury), from whom some of them were obtained by
his younger son, Sir William Howard, the unfortunate Viscount Stafford
(beheaded 1680, on perjured testimony); and a portion of the marble statues
and library devolved upon Henry Frederick, his eldest son, who, in his
father's lifetime, was summoned to parliament as Lord Mowbray, and
succeeded him as Earl of Arundel, and who died in 1652, leaving Thomas,
his eldest son, who became Earl of Arundel, Surrey, and Norfolk, and was,
at the Restoration in 1660, restored to the dukedom of Norfolk, with
limitation to the heirs male of his father. This nobleman died unmarried in
1677, and his brother Henry (who had been created Earl of Norwich, and in
1672 Earl Marshal of England, to him and the heirs male of his body, with
other limitations in default) thereupon became sixth Duke of Norfolk. By
him the marbles and library were finally dispersed.

The Royal Society had held their meetings since the Fire of London at
Arundel House; and John Evelyn, Esq., author of the Sylva, one of the
founders of the society, observing in 1667
"these precious monuments miserably neglected, and scattered up
and down about the garden and other parts of Arundel House, and
how exceedingly the corrosive air of London impaired them,"
induced this nobleman, then Mr. Henry Howard, to bestow on the
University of Oxford
"his Arundelian marbles, those celebrated and famous inscriptions,
Greek and Latine, gathered with so much cost and industrie from
Greece, by his illustrious grandfather the magnificent Earl of
Arundel."—Diary, vol. ii. p. 295.
In 1676 Mr. Evelyn induced the Duke to grant to the Royal Society the
Arundel library, into which many of the MSS. formerly belonging to Lord
William Howard (the famous ancestor of the Earl of Carlisle), who died in
1640, had found their way from Naworth Castle in the lifetime of Thomas,
Earl of Arundel. In the same volume of Evelyn's Diary, p. 445., is a minute,
under date 29th August, 1678, from which it appears that he was then called
to take charge of the books and MSS., and remove to the then home of the
Royal Society in Gresham College, such of them as did not relate to the
office of Earl Marshal and to heraldry, his grace intending to bestow the
books relating to those subjects upon the Heralds' College. It is known,
however, that many chronicles and historical MSS. of great value formed
part of the donation to the College of Arms; and it would appear from a
document in the handwriting of Sir William Dugdale, referred to by Sir
Charles Young, that many monastic registers and cartularies which were
taken to Gresham College, had nevertheless been intended by the Duke for
the College over which, as Earl Marshal, he presided. This nobleman died

In 1678, according to Mr. Cunningham (who quotes Walpole's Anecdotes,
ii. 153.), Arundel House itself was demolished. This was done pursuant to
an act of parliament, which had been obtained for the purpose of entailing
the estate on heirs male, exempt from being charged with jointures or debts,
and empowering the Duke to let a part of the site of the house and gardens
to builders, at reserved ground-rents, which were to form a fund for
building a mansion for the family on that part of the gardens adjacent to the
river. The house was planned by Wren, but the design was laid aside about
the year 1690, when Henry, seventh Duke of Norfolk, who was a favourite
of William Prince of Orange, obtained an act of parliament empowering
him to lease the remainder of the garden-ground for a term of forty-one
years, and to appropriate to himself the fund which had accumulated. He
accordingly let the ground to Mr. Stone of New Inn, an attorney, and
buildings of a very different character to the palatial mansion that had been
contemplated, ere long overspread the site of Arundel House. The seventh
duke died in 1701. It appears that his friend King William had made him
Governor of Windsor Castle; but at his death 12,000l. were due to him for
arrears of salary, which sum it is said was never paid.
The museum of objects illustrative of natural history, and great part of the
furniture of Arundel House, were removed to Stafford House (situated
without Buckingham Gate, where Stafford Row was subsequently built), in
which house, in the year 1720, the Duchess of Norfolk, consort of Thomas,
eighth Duke, sold an immense quantity of plate, jewels, furniture, pictures,
and curiosities. Besides these, however, many family reliques were at that
time in the hands of different branches of this noble family, as, for example,
the grace-cup of St. Thomas of Canterbury (which had belonged to Thomas
Earl of Arundel, and is now in the possession of Philip Henry Howard, Esq.,
of Corby Castle, M.P.), and the staff of office of High Constable of
England, formerly used by the Earl, and which in 1757 was in the
possession of the Earl of Stafford.
Of the fate of the marbles which remained at the time of the removal of
Arundel House, some interesting particulars are given by Mr. James
Theobald in a letter written from Surrey Street, 10th May, 1757, and
addressed to Lord Willoughby de Parham, President of the Society of
Antiquaries; and believing that these particulars are little known, I will now
subjoin them to the somewhat lengthy memoranda which I have written by
way of introduction.

"As there were many fine statues, basso-relievos, and marbles, they
were received," says Mr. Theobald, "into the lower part of the
gardens, and many of them were placed under a colonnade there;
and the upper part of the grounds, next the Strand, was let to
builders, who continued the street next the Strand, from Temple Bar
towards Westminster, and built thereon the several streets called
Arundel, Norfolk, and Surrey Streets, leading from the Strand as far
as the cross street called Howard Street, which ran parallel
therewith. A cross wall was built to separate the ground let for
building from that reserved for the family mansion; and many of the
workmen, to save the expense of carrying away the rubbish, threw it
over this cross wall, where it fell upon the colonnade and at last by
its weight broke it down, and falling upon the statues, &c. placed
there, broke several of them. A great part of these statues, &c., in
that sad condition, were purchased by Sir William Fermor, from
whom the present Earl of Pomfret is descended, and he removed
them to his seat at Easton Neston in Northamptonshire, where he
employed some statuary to repair such as were not too much
demolished. There they continued until the year 1755, when the
present countess made a present of them to the University of
Oxford. In this collection was the famous sleeping Cupid
represented lying on a lion's skin to express his absolute dominion
over fierceness and strength, some roses being scattered on the skin,
probably as emblems of silence and secrecy, as Cupid presented that
flower to Harpocrates, the god of silence, as a bribe to him to
conceal the amours of his mother, to whom the rose is also supposed
to be sacred. Below the foot of Cupid on the cushion is the figure of
a lizard, which some have supposed to have been placed here as a
known ingredient of great efficacy in love-charms; others, as a
proper attendant on those who sleep, from an opinion that this
reptile wakes them on approach of danger. But the real design of the
sculptor is, rather to perpetuate his name by this symbol, for it was
Saurus. The Romans, observing how much the Grecian sculptors
excelled them in this art, whenever they employed them to execute
any work of this sort forbade them to put, as had been customary,
their names to their works; and Pliny tells us that Saurus had
recourse to this expedient, by putting the lizard upon this figure, as
were received," says Mr. Theobald, "into the lower part of the

Page 12
well as on another which he executed jointly with Batrachus, on
which they were not permitted to put their names, therefore they
placed on the bases the figures of a frog and a lizard.
"Some other of these broken statues, not thought worth replacing,
were begged by one Boyder Cuper, who had been a servant (I think
gardener) to the family, and were removed by him to decorate a
piece of garden ground which he had taken opposite Somerset
water-gate, in the parish of Lambeth,[3] which at that time was a
place of resort for the citizens and others in holiday time, still called
after him by the name of Cuper's, and thence corruptly Cupid's
Gardens, which were much of the same nature as Sadler's Wells and
Mary'bone Gardens. Here they continued for a considerable time,
till Mr. John Freeman of Fawley Court, near Henley-on-Thames,
and Mr. Edward Waller of Beaconsfield, observing something
masterly in the designs and drapery of several of them, desired I
would treat with Mr. John Cuper for them. I agreed with him for
75l., and soon afterwards they were divided between these two
gentlemen, and sent part to Fawley Court, and part to Beaconsfield,
where they at present remain.
"What statues and broken fragments yet remained undisposed of in
Arundel Gardens, the Duke of Norfolk obtained leave from the
Crown to remove across the water, just on the opposite shore, to a
piece of waste ground in the manor of Kennington, belonging to the
principality of Wales; and one Mr. Arundel, a relation of the Duke's
I think, at the latter end of the reign of King Charles II. or King
James II., did obtain a grant of the said piece of ground at a small
rent for a term of years, which was renewed on paying a fine.
(These are again referred to.)
"What were thought not worth removing were buried in the
foundations of the buildings in the lower parts of Norfolk Street and
the other buildings on the gardens. Mr. Aislabie, who inhabited one
of these houses, found a broken statue in his cellar, which he carried
to his seat in Yorkshire; and he tells me there is a sarcophagus in the
cellar of Mr. James Adamson, who lives in the corner house on the
left hand going into the lower part of Norfolk Street.

Mary'bone Gardens. Here they continued for a considerable time,
till Mr. John Freeman of Fawley Court, near Henley-on-Thames,
and Mr. Edward Waller of Beaconsfield, observing something
masterly in the designs and drapery of several of them, desired I
would treat with Mr. John Cuper for them. I agreed with him for
75l., and soon afterwards they were divided between these two
gentlemen, and sent part to Fawley Court, and part to Beaconsfield,
where they at present remain.
"What statues and broken fragments yet remained undisposed of in
Arundel Gardens, the Duke of Norfolk obtained leave from the
Crown to remove across the water, just on the opposite shore, to a
piece of waste ground in the manor of Kennington, belonging to the
principality of Wales; and one Mr. Arundel, a relation of the Duke's
I think, at the latter end of the reign of King Charles II. or King
James II., did obtain a grant of the said piece of ground at a small
rent for a term of years, which was renewed on paying a fine.
(These are again referred to.)
"What were thought not worth removing were buried in the
foundations of the buildings in the lower parts of Norfolk Street and
the other buildings on the gardens. Mr. Aislabie, who inhabited one
of these houses, found a broken statue in his cellar, which he carried
to his seat in Yorkshire; and he tells me there is a sarcophagus in the
cellar of Mr. James Adamson, who lives in the corner house on the
left hand going into the lower part of Norfolk Street.

"As to those carried over the water and laid on the Prince of Wales'
ground, Mr. Arundel, soon after he obtained the grant of the ground,
let it for a timber-yard, and the person who took it built up a wharf;
and when the foundation of St. Paul's was laid (Mr. Cunningham
gives 1st May, 1674, as the date when the ground began to be
cleared), great quantities of the rubbish were brought over thither to
raise the ground which used to be overflowed every spring tide, so
that, by degrees, these statues and other marbles were buried under
the rubbish, and lay there for many years forgotten. About 1712 this
piece of ground was rented by my father, who, on digging
foundations, frequently met with some of these broken fragments,
which were taken up and laid on the surface of the ground. The late
Earl of Burlington having heard of the things which had been dug
up, and that they had formed part of the Arundel collection, chose
what he pleased and carried them down to Chiswick House, where
he placed one piece of basso-relievo on the pedestal of an obelisk he
erected there. Some years after this, the Right Hon. Lord Petre,
speaking to me about these things of the Earl of Burlington's, told
me he had heard that on some parts of my ground there were still
many valuable fragments buried, and obtained my leave to employ
men to bore the ground. After six days' searching of every part, just
as they were going to give over, they fell upon something which
gave them hopes, and upon opening the ground they discovered six
statues without heads or arms, lying close to each other, some of a
colossal size, the drapery of which was thought to be exceedingly
fine. These were soon afterwards sent down to Worksop, the seat of
his present Grace the Duke of Norfolk, in Nottinghamshire, where
they remain.
"There were some few blocks of a greyish veined marble, out of
which I endeavoured to cut some chimney-pieces and slabs to lay in
my house, the Belvedere in Lambeth parish, over against York
Buildings, but the expense was more than their worth; however, as
they were cut out, some of them were used. The fragment of a
column I carried into Berkshire to my house, Waltham Place, and
converted it into a roller for my bowling-green, it being about six
feet long and eighteen inches diameter."

exhibition, described in the "Short Guide to that Portion of the Library of
Printed Books now open to the Public, May 1851."
In imitation of the National Library of Paris, a number of books have
been publicly exhibited in the British Museum which, on account of their
early date, rarity, costliness and splendour of printing, binding, or for
Page 15
certain interesting autographs, deserved general attention; thus forming an
exemplified memorial and history of typographic art and enterprise. The
show was a grand and instructive one, owing mostly to the specimens of the
unmatched collection of the Grenville Library, the greatest gift ever
bequeathed by an individual to a people. None could look without deep
emotion on the set of Columbus' Letters, all printed during his lifetime
(1493 et seq.)—documents much adverted to by A. Humboldt in his
Examen Critique on the discovery of America. Of similar interest were the
sets of first editions of Petrarca, Cervantes, Camoens—leaves invaluable to
the thinker on human civilisation. Chinese, Indian, and Japanese specimens
were also not wanting.
With all that, the gentleman who had arranged en maestro this exhibition,
did completely ignore the existence of Panslavic literature, viz. that of a
race of sixty millions of people! It is the perusal of the Short Guide which
will satisfy any one of the exactness of the assertions, that not one single
Russian, Polish, Czechian or Serbian book or fly-leaf was in the whole
collection: an anomaly, the explaining of which is beyond my reach.
Still, Panslavia occupies a conspicuous place even in the history of
typography and literature, although our later periods have been dimmed by
the intrusion of foreign or despotic princes. It was so early as the year 1512,
that a Slavonic translation of the Bible was begun. Ivan IV. established the
first printing-press in 1564 at Moscow; and in 1659 the learned Patriarch
Nikon published a revision of both the Old and New Testaments. Without
entering here into an investigation on the first Slavian typographers, both
Czechia and Poland were foremost in introducing this important discovery;
and even our southernmost city, the Republic of Ragusa, printed Slavian
works. Of all this the typographical exhibition of the British Museum
contained no trace. What the Library may possess or not possess, is now
more difficult to ascertain than ever, as the different sets of Catalogues
amount to a couple of hundred volumes. In fact, I know that there exist in
the Library the Acta Fratrum Polonorum (the disciples of Socinus), a work
unknown even to Lellewel but I am not aware how to find it without a great
loss of time.[4] Unfortunately also, the Catalogues are encumbered by a host
of exploded German works, which, remaining on the hands of the Leipzig
publishers, are mostly sold as waste paper. The works of the greatest
Slavian literati are wanting; for instance, Palacky's History of Czechia (in
German), published by order and at the expense of the house of

do it by the second; which, I wonder men of prudence, or that had

OVERALL'S CONVOCATION BOOK.
The volume which is known under the title of Bishop Overall's
Convocation Book, is a document possessing no ordinary degree of interest.
It consists of a series of arguments and canons, in which are discussed and
decided several questions of great moment relative to the authority of
princes, the divine right of episcopacy, and the differences between the
Church of England and the see of Rome. Though this document never
obtained the sanction of the Crown, yet its intrinsic value is considerable;
and its claim to be regarded as an authentic exposition of the doctrine of the
Church of England, in the beginning of the seventeenth century, is
unquestionable. Drawn up by the eminent divines who constituted the lower
house of the Convocation of 1603, the signature of Bishop Overall at the
end attests that the whole had been read three times in the hearing of the
house, and unanimously approved.[5]

subscribers are informed in the Rules of the Society, "the whole

parties in any way answerable to the subscribers, for the manner in which it

or particular congregations in every city were advised and directed
touching points of religion in manner and form aforesaid by the
common and joint advice of their priests or ministers. In which
respect, the same persons, who then were named priests or
ministers, were also in a general sense called bishops. Howbeit this
course dured not long, either concerning their said common
direction, or their names of bishops so attributed unto them; but was
shortly after ordered far otherwise, by a common decree of the
Apostles, to be observed in all such cities where particular churches
were planted, or, as one speaketh, in toto orbe 'throughout the

The words within brackets direct us to one of the notes which the editor
has added at the end of the volume; where, at p. 281., the following is
Page 19
found:
"Note O., p. 136.
"Jerome in Ep. ad Tit. c. i. [The editor has failed in discovering the
passage here alluded to, although the Benedictine and several earlier
editions have been consulted.]"
Without waiting for an opportunity of referring to the Benedictine, or any
of the earlier editions, to which the writer has not access at the present
moment, it is sufficient to observe, that the passage in question occurs in St.
Jerome's Commentary on the Epistle to Titus, and may be found in
Vallarsius's edition, tom. vii. col. 694.
One would be glad to content oneself with this note, but the interests of
literature and theology demand something more; and if the anonymous
editor should feel pained by the following remarks, the writer can only say
that he has not the slightest suspicion who the editor of this volume is, and
that it is to the Committee (most especially in such a case as this, where
they have allowed the editor to withhold his name,) the Subscribers—not to
say the Church of England—will look for such a work being brought out in
a proper manner.
To confess that a passage, which the Convocation of 1603 have referred
to in this off-hand manner, is not to be found in the works of Jerome, is
strange enough: but the confession assumes a new character, as regards both
the editor and the Committee, when one reflects for an instant on the
particular passage which the editor thus candidly informs us, he "has failed
in discovering."
It is not at all too much to say, that no one could be even moderately
acquainted with the Presbyterian controversy, and the arguments in defence
of Episcopacy, without being so familiar with this passage as to recognise it
at first sight. It is, indeed, one of the chief testimonies which the
Presbyterians urged in proof of the antiquity of their discipline,—as Bishop
Pearson says: "Locus Hieronymi, quem pro fundo habent novatores;" and,
as such, it has been discussed by almost every divine of eminence, who has
undertaken to defend the constitution of the English church.
To multiply references is needless. But, without attempting to exhaust
even the resources of a small and very incomplete private collection, it will
suffice to say, that Henry Dodwell has examined it in his additions to

Pearson. (De Success. prim. Romæ Episcop., Diss. I. cap. ix.) Bishop Bilson
discusses it, and refers to it again and again (Perpetual Government of
Christ's Church, "Epistle to the Reader," p. 5.; ch. xi. pp. 217. 268.; ch. xii.
pp. 284. 289. 307.; edit. Oxford, 1842). Hooker quotes and explains it (book
vii. ch. v. 7.; vol. iii. p. 162.; Oxford, 1845). It is the subject of an entire
section of Jeremy Taylor's Episcopacy asserted (sect. xxi.). And to
enumerate no more, it is fully discussed by Archbishop Potter, in his
Discourse on Church Government (chap. iv.).
These facts will, it is trusted, exempt the writer from the charge of minute
and carping criticism. The Convocation of 1603, indeed, merely allude to
the passage as one with which every English divine would be familiar and
most unquestionably no one could have been a stranger to it, who was
acquainted with the subject which the Convocation were discussing.
It is surely then but reasonable to feel surprised, that a document so
important, and drawn up by men of such eminence, should have been
confided to an editor who had never heard of the passage, and knew not
where to find it: in a word, to an editor, who, by his own acknowledgment
(and his candour is deserving of respect), is a stranger to one of the
principal subjects of the volume he was employed to edit.
The Committee of the Anglo-Catholic Library are not persons who
require to be informed, that something more is demanded in an editor, than
industry in hunting out references, and transcribing scraps of Latin. Nor
could this passage have presented an instant's difficulty to some whose
names have stood on the list of the Committee from the commencement of
the undertaking. But this is the very thing which the Subscribers have a
right to complain of. They expected that the editors employed should have
the benefit of co-operation and consultation with the Committee. They had
a right to expect this. The Subscribers cannot be expected to feel satisfied
with the unrevised performance of an anonymous editor. They had a right to
expect, in the first place, that the Committee would not engage any one to
edit a book until they had ascertained whether he was acquainted with the
subject of which it treated. They had a right to expect also, that the
Committee would exercise such a real and bonâ fide superintendence and
control as should have prevented the possibility of any work, issued with
the sanction of their names, containing a confession so strange and so
humiliating, and manifesting a degree of editorial incompetency so
discusses it, and refers to it again and again (Perpetual Government of
Christ's Church, "Epistle to the Reader," p. 5.; ch. xi. pp. 217. 268.; ch. xii.
pp. 284. 289. 307.; edit. Oxford, 1842). Hooker quotes and explains it (book
vii. ch. v. 7.; vol. iii. p. 162.; Oxford, 1845). It is the subject of an entire
section of Jeremy Taylor's Episcopacy asserted (sect. xxi.). And to
enumerate no more, it is fully discussed by Archbishop Potter, in his
Discourse on Church Government (chap. iv.).
These facts will, it is trusted, exempt the writer from the charge of minute
and carping criticism. The Convocation of 1603, indeed, merely allude to
the passage as one with which every English divine would be familiar and
most unquestionably no one could have been a stranger to it, who was
acquainted with the subject which the Convocation were discussing.
It is surely then but reasonable to feel surprised, that a document so
important, and drawn up by men of such eminence, should have been
confided to an editor who had never heard of the passage, and knew not
where to find it: in a word, to an editor, who, by his own acknowledgment
(and his candour is deserving of respect), is a stranger to one of the
principal subjects of the volume he was employed to edit.

THE USE OF MISERERES.
I notice the following paragraph in Mr. Howitt's Visits to Remarkable
Places, 1840, pp. 470, 471.:
"Perhaps the most curious things about the chapel [of Winchester
College] are the ancient stall-seats now affixed to the wall of the
ante-chapel. These have their seats so fixed upon hinges that those
who sit in them can only maintain their position by balancing
themselves with care, and resting their elbows on the seat-arms; so
that if the monks who used them dropped asleep during divine
service, the seats came forward and pitched them headlong upon the
floor; nay, if they only dozed and nodded the least in the world, the
hard oaken seat clapped against the hard oaken back, and made a
noise loud enough to attract the attention of the whole audience.
Nothing was ever more cleverly contrived to keep people awake at
church or chapel; and, no doubt, most of us know where they would
be especially useful now."
On the latter point there is little room for doubt; but allow me to ask
whether this account of the use of the miserere can be supported by
adequate authority, and is anything more than a joke? Mediæval monks
were, doubtless, sometimes caught napping; since Dr. Maitland (Dark Ages,
2nd edit. pp. 336. and 337. n.) mentions an amusing expedient employed in
the monastery of Clugni for the detection of drowsy brethren. What I doubt
is, whether the miserere was intended for that useful purpose. In the
Glossary of Architecture (4th edit. p. 242.) its use is thus described:—
"They [misereres] were allowed in the Roman Catholic church as a
relief to the infirm during the long services that were required to be
performed by the ecclesiastics in a standing posture."

In such matters, I should imagine Mr. Parker to be a better authority than
his versatile contemporary; but if they were intended and permitted only for
the infirm, it seems rather remarkable that they are so general in most
cathedral or monastic churches that retain their ancient fittings. I would also
ask when were they first introduced, and by whose authority?

JOCELINE'S LEGACY.
The Mother's Legacy to her unborn Child, by Elizabeth Joceline. This is
the title to a thin octave volume printed at "Oxford at the Theater for the
satisfaction of the person of quality herein concerned, 1684." This, the first
edition, is of rare occurrence; that in the British Museum being a dirty
duodecimo chap book. "The Approbation" of the volume bears the signature
of "Thos. Goad." It is addressed as a legacy "to her truly and most dearly-
loved husband, Tourell Joceline." The letter to her husband, and The
Mother's Legacy, are two of as beautiful, pious, and feeling compositions,
as were ever penned by woman. The latter is so full of religious instruction
and exhortation to faith in the mercies of a Redeemer, under the
apprehension that she might not survive the birth of a child, that it is
surprising this valuable little tract has not become a standard book for
distribution by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.
My reason for bringing it under the notice of the correspondents of
"Notes and Queries" is my strong desire to learn of what family was
Tourell Joceline, the husband of this most excellent lady. Of that of the lady
herself, I gather the following particulars from Mr. Goad's Approbation of
the volume.
Elizabeth Joceline was the wife of Tourell Joceline, granddaughter of
Doctor Chaderton, sometime Master of Queen's College, Cambridge, and
Professor of Divinity in that university; afterwards Bishop, first of Chester,
and then of Lincoln; by whom she was, from her tender years, carefully
nurtured. Her father was Sir Richard Brooke; her mother the daughter of Dr.
Chaderton. She was born in 1595, and died in childbed in 1622, six years
after her marriage, as she seems to have anticipated; and hence her previous
writing of the Legacy. The child, a daughter, survived the mother.

I ought to add, that I parted with the first edition of The Mother's Legacy
to the Rev. C. H. Craufurd, Rector of Old Swinford, Worcestershire, in
exchange for a volume of his sermons, 1840; at the end of which he had
printed the entire of The Mother's Legacy, which is well worthy to be

particular number, but the name of an officer of rank.
I shall feel obliged by information on the following points:—
1. What was the origin of thus naming, instead of numbering, regiments?
2. Who conferred the name? Was it done at the War-office, or how?
3. If in honour of an officer commanding the corps, was the name
changed when that officer died, or removed to another regiment; or what
was the rule?
4. When did the present mode of numbering regiments begin, and by
whom was it introduced; and what was the rule adopted in applying the
number to each corps? I mean, what was the principle followed in giving
any regiment a certain number? Was it according to the length of time it had
been embodied?

Merry Wakefield.
—Whence arose the Yorkshire proverb "Merry Wakefield?" Fuller

R. W. ELLIOT.
[What peculiar cause of mirth the town of Wakefield hath above
others, Fuller certainly confesses he cannot tell, unless that it may
be entitled to that epithet from its cheapness, and the plenty of good
cheer. Grose, however, adds, "Might it not be mirrie, that is, faithful
Wakefield? and allude to some event in the disputes between the
houses of York and Lancaster. Mirrie-men is a term that frequently
occurs in old ballads, signifying true or faithful men." While again it
has been suggested that it derives this complimentary epithet from
the reputation of that
"Merry man the Pindar of the town
Of Wakefield, George a Green, whose fames so far are
blown;
for Braithwaite, in his Strappado for the Divell, applies it to both of
them, when he speaks of
'Merry Wakefield and her Pindar too.'"]
The two Kings of Brentford.
—Occasionally when there is an expression of ultra-friendship on the
part of two persons who were before supposed, their profession to the
contrary notwithstanding, to hate each other right heartily, the following
comparison is elicited from the bystanders: "They are like the two kings of
Brentford smelling at one nosegay." I have sought for the meaning of this
profound remark from many denizens of that ancient locality, but hitherto
without success; it being, somewhat like the mud of Brentford,
impenetrable.
Presuming that the remark, like most popular sayings, bears reference to
some foregone fact or event, I shall feel obliged by some one of your
contributors stating to what the adage refers, and what it is meant to imply.

Does it bear any relation to the fact that the two members for Middlesex are

[The saying owes its rise to the celebrated farce of The Rehearsal,
written by Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, with the assistance of
Butler, Spratt, and others, in order to correct the public taste by
holding up the rhyming tragedies to ridicule. It is said that no less
than ten years were employed in collecting and polishing the
materials. The original hero was Davenant, satirized under the name
of Bilboa; but Dryden eventually became its Bayes. The allusion
referred to by our correspondent is to Act II. Sc. 2., where the stage

ANACHRONISMS OF PAINTERS.
(Vol. iii., pp. 369. 517.; Vol. iv., p. 150.)
I have read D'Israeli's list of the above, to which J. E. alludes in Vol. iii.,
p. 369., and they are certainly well-known glaring instances of the
inconsistencies and absurdities into which artists may be led by ignorance
and total want of good taste and feeling: those given by J. E., at the same
page, are also unhappy examples. I cannot, however, think that the instance,
given by G. T. R. in Vol. iii., p. 517., deserves to be placed in the same
category: the subject is, The Woman taken in Adultery; and G. T. R.
complains of the anachronism of Steenwyk's having represented our
Saviour as writing on the ground in Dutch. But this is not necessarily the
result of ignorance, and is justifiable on the ground of making the painting
more intelligible to his countrymen. For the same reason the writing is often
in Latin; and, in fact, often as the subject has been painted, I do not
recollect any instance of the proper language being used. In making the
scene take place in a building of the architecture of the thirteenth century,
Steenwyk has erred (if error it be) in company with the best Italian masters.
Both Tintoretto and Paul Veronese engraft into their paintings the
architecture and other accessories of their own day. In Tintoretto's
celebrated picture of the Marriage of Cana, the artist has made use of the
drinking vessels and loaves of bread still used in Venice at the present day.
In fact, if strict accuracy were contended for, not a single representation by
the old masters of this subject, and of the Last Supper, would pass muster,
as, according to the facts of the case, our Saviour and His disciples would
not be sitting at a table, but reclining on the ground. But I think these
liberties not only defensible, but that the artist's faculty of thus introducing
successfully into his paintings the scenes passing before his eyes is often a
ANACHRONISMS OF PAINTERS.
(Vol. iii., pp. 369. 517.; Vol. iv., p. 150.)
I have read D'Israeli's list of the above, to which J. E. alludes in Vol. iii.,
p. 369., and they are certainly well-known glaring instances of the
inconsistencies and absurdities into which artists may be led by ignorance
and total want of good taste and feeling: those given by J. E., at the same
page, are also unhappy examples. I cannot, however, think that the instance,
given by G. T. R. in Vol. iii., p. 517., deserves to be placed in the same
category: the subject is, The Woman taken in Adultery; and G. T. R.
complains of the anachronism of Steenwyk's having represented our
Saviour as writing on the ground in Dutch. But this is not necessarily the
result of ignorance, and is justifiable on the ground of making the painting
more intelligible to his countrymen. For the same reason the writing is often
in Latin; and, in fact, often as the subject has been painted, I do not
recollect any instance of the proper language being used. In making the
scene take place in a building of the architecture of the thirteenth century,
Steenwyk has erred (if error it be) in company with the best Italian masters.

liberties not only defensible, but that the artist's faculty of thus introducing
successfully into his paintings the scenes passing before his eyes is often a
Page 31
great proof of his genius; and pictures often owe much of their power and
reality to this very circumstance. Space, as well as time, is often annihilated
not from ignorance or inadvertence, but purposely, and with the most happy
results. Tintoretto, in a painting of the Entombment of Christ, has
introduced the stable of Bethlehem in the background; thus finely
contrasting the birthplace of Him who was found "lying in a manger" with
the fulfillment of the prophecy of His being "with the rich in His death:"
and such liberties both of time and place are equally allowable in pictures of
at all an imaginative character, the artist feeling that by sacrificing a minor
and lower truth he can gain a higher, or make his subject appeal more to the
sympathies of his spectators. The instance also noticed by P. P. in Vol. iv., p.
150., is no mistake, but a legitimate employment of a symbol: the cross or
flag, with the motto "Ecce Agnus Dei," soon became the recognised symbol
of St. John the Baptist, and as such was generally used without reference to
the exact time when the motto became strictly applicable. The same strict
criticism which would disallow this license, would require the Madonna to
be always painted as a Jewess: but I cannot think that paintings are fairly
liable to such close and prosaic scrutiny. P. P.'s instance of Zebedee's sons
being represented as young children, is treading on more doubtful ground,
and some great counterbalancing gain to the picture would alone justify
such a bold alteration of facts: but if the subject be altogether treated in an
allegorical manner, it might be defensible. His modern instances are, of
course, sheer blunders, and cannot be too severely reprehended; and artists
must always remember that such liberties should never be taken, unless by
these means some higher object is gained. Nor should modern painters
expect the same indulgence, until they express in their works the same spirit
of devotion, and simple, childlike earnestness of feeling, which distinguish
the early painters of the Italian Religious School.

I have the pleasure of being able to refer Mr. Martin to an interpretation
of this inscription. The mystical word agla belongs to that species of
Cabbala, used by the Rabbinical writers, which is called Notaricon, and
which consists of forming one word out of the initial letters of a sentence.
Thus Agla is composed of the initials of
Attâh-Gibbor-Leholâm-Adonâi ("Thou art strong for ever, O Lord!"), and
signifies either "I reveal," or "a drop of dew," and is the cabbalistic name of
God.
They also reversed this process, and made an entire sentence from the
letters of one word: thus of ב ר א ש תBereshith, which is the first word of
Genesis, they made the sentence
Bârâ-Râkiya-Eretz-Shâmayim-Yâm-Tehomoth (i.e. "he created the
firmament, the earth, the heavens, the sea, and the deep"). It would,
however, be more correctly written
Vide Dr. Hook's Church Dictionary, art. Cabbala.
In Arnaud's work on the Vaudois, translated by Acland (Murray, 1825),
there is mention made of certain inscribed talismans or preservatives, found
on the slain French soldiers of Marshal Catinat, the inscriptions of which
are given, and among them is one bearing the legend

The word "agla" mentioned by your correspondent Mr. Martin as being
inscribed on a ring, is mentioned by Reginald Scott in his Discoverie of
Witchcraft (1584), as being inscribed on the conjuring knives employed to
describe the circles used in calling spirits. He gives a cut of "the fashion or
form of the conjuring knife, and the names thereon to be engraved," and on

feeling persuaded that there never could have existed such a spot here as
would be so called, and was puzzled till I last week saw this old map.
Tracing the matter, although no French substantive seems to exist spelled
grene, the v.n. grener and its relatives afford a solution—as grenier is a
granary, and grenetis the mill round a coin: so that I take it for granted, as
our green in fact is in the immediate neighbourhood of the corn-mill, that
from said pounding or grinding (grener) it solely is derived.
The solution of "mountain" is not so easy. It is a portion of the town
outside the old fortifications, at the foot of a high hill; so never could have
been dignified by the term "mountain" from its height,—in fact, it rises but
little from the estuary, one arm of which here terminates. The tide here
ceases; up to this spot "la marée monte." Am I right in conjecturing that
montant (pronounced just like monton), meaning "rising" as well as
mounting, may be the origin of the designation?
All the early memorials of Pembroke are either Norman or Flemish,
those foreigners having settled here. We have no token of Welsh; perhaps
there are not six people in the town who can speak the language. The names
of some of the inhabitants are French and Flemish, and it is to be noted that
their personal appearance corresponds with the type of their ancestral
country. Our parish clerk, named Freyne, is a little Frenchman to all intents
and purposes; and our street-keeper, Rushaut, has all the square stolidity
and heavy features of the Low Countries.
Although unconnected with the foregoing, will you allow space for
another record? Only within a few years the last of a family, invariably
called "Cromwell," died. It was not their true name, but they have held it to
perpetuate the treason of their ancestor, who followed the great Protector
after he had temporarily abandoned the siege of Pembroke Castle; and,
procuring an interview on "Ridgway," an eminence between here and
Tenby, this unworthy townsman told the general to return, as the garrison
were reduced "to a bean a day." The advice was followed. Pembroke was
taken; but the stern captor ordered the traitor to be hanged! Thenceforward
the family ever went by the name of Cromwell.

—There is a wood so called in the parish of Saffron Walden, which has
long formed a part of the Audley End estates. It is about a mile from the
town, situated on the crest of a steep hill, on the south side of the road
leading to Linton, and from its commanding position may have been at
some time a military station. Some portions of a fosse may still be traced on
the lower edge of the wood; but no tradition connected with its history has
descended to us. Warton, in his Account of Kiddington, Oxon, p. 62., edition
1815, observes that Stukeley describes a fosse called Grimsditch, near
Ditchley House, between Stunsfield and Chipping Norton, the vallum of
which was eastward. He also says that the word means "the ditch made by
magic," and was indiscriminately applied to ancient trenches, roads, and
boundaries, whether British, Roman, Saxon, or Danish.
We learn from the same work, that there exists a vallum, or ridged bank,
within two miles of Ewelme, and near to Nuffield, called Grimsditch; and
the lands adjoining to it are described in a charter in or before the reign of

newspaper about twenty years ago, and cut them out. I cannot now
remember the work it was said they were copied from, nor do I quite
understand if that is the information REMIGIUS wants, or the verses
themselves: but I think the verses, and therefore inclose them.
THE ABBEY: A FRAGMENT.
"A feeling sad came o'er me, as I trod the sacred ground
Where Tudors and Plantagenets were lying all around:
Page 38
I stepp'd with noiseless foot, as though the sound of
mortal tread
Might burst the bands of the dreamless sleep that wraps
the mighty dead.
"The slanting ray of the evening sun shone through those
cloisters pale,
With fitful light, on regal vest and warrior's sculptured
mail;
As from the stained and storied pane it danced with
quivering gleam,
Each cold and prostrate form below seem'd quickening in
the beam.
"Now sinking low, no more was heard the organ's solemn
swell,
And faint upon the listening ear the last hosanna fell;
It died—and not a breath did stir; above each knightly
stall,
Unmoved, the banner'd blazonry hung waveless as a pall.
"I stood alone—a living thing midst those that were no
more—
I thought on ages that were past, the glorious deeds of
yore—
On Edward's sable panoply, on Cressy's tented plain,
The fatal Roses twined at length, on great Eliza's reign.
"I thought on Blenheim—when, at once, upon my
startled ear
There came a sound; it chill'd my veins, it froze my heart
with fear,
As from a wild unearthly voice I heard these accents drop
—

Pauper's Badge (Vol. iv., p. 294.).
—The 8 & 9 Wm. III. c. 30. s. 2., required all paupers in the receipt of
parochial relief to wear a badge bearing a large Roman "P", together with
the first letter of the name of the parish, cut either in red or blue cloth, upon
the shoulder of the right sleeve of the uppermost garment, in an open and
visible manner, under certain penalties, and prevented paupers who
neglected to wear it from being relieved. This provision of the statute was
repealed by the 50 Geo. III. c. 52.; and although by the 55 Geo. III. c. 137.
s. 2. parish officers might cause goods, &c. to be branded with the word
"Workhouse," and such other mark or stamp as they thought proper, to
identify the parish, it was nevertheless provided, with the view of
preventing a revival of the former mark of degradation, that such mark or
stamp should not at any time be placed on any articles of wearing apparel
so as to be publicly visible on the exterior of the same.

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES,
ETC.
Well may Mr. Layard plead the interest felt in the discoveries on the site
of Nineveh as a reason for the publication in a cheap and popular form of
his Nineveh and its Remains: and we know no work better calculated to
give value to Mr. Murray's Reading for the Rail than A Popular Account of
Discoveries at Nineveh. By Austen Henry Layard, Esq., D.C.L. Abridged by
him from his larger Work. The value of Mr. Layard's first and larger
publication has been so generally recognised, that in calling attention to the
present work, with its numerous and spirited woodcuts, we feel bound to
confine ourselves to pointing out the plan pursued by the author in his
abridgment; namely, that of omitting the second part of the original work,
and introducing the principal Biblical and historical illustrations into the
narrative, which has thereby been rendered more useful and complete. "As
recent discoveries," observes Mr. Layard, "and the contents of the
inscriptions, so far as they have been satisfactorily decyphered, have
confirmed nearly all the opinions expressed in the original work, no
changes on any material points have been introduced into this abridgment. I
am still inclined to believe that all the ruins explored represent the site of
ancient Nineveh; and whilst still assigning the later monuments to the kings
mentioned in Scripture, Shalmanezer, Sennacherib, and Essarhadon, I am
convinced that a considerable period elapsed between their foundation and
the erection of the older palaces of Nimroud."
After the pictures which our facetious contemporary Punch has furnished
of the troubles which an "unprotected female" encounters, who ventures
beyond the quiet circle of her domestic duties, one is predisposed to regard
as a heroine a lady who ventures unattended on a voyage round the world.

Madame Ida Pfeiffer has done this; and her narrative of her adventures
having excited great attention both in Germany and this country, Messrs.
Longman have shown themselves excellent caterers for the reading public,
by printing as the new parts of their Traveller's Library, a selected
translation of them by Mrs. Percy Sinnett, under the title of A Lady's Voyage
round the World. The work will be read with great pleasure and interest; and
while we wonder at the writer's extraordinary passion for travelling, we feel
that she has produced such an amusing and instructive volume that we are
glad that she had the opportunity of indulging it. Mrs. Sinnett well
characterises the book on which she has employed her talents as a translator
when she says, "Its chief attraction will most likely be found in the personal
narrative and in the singular character of the authoress; who though
apparently far removed by circumstances from the romantic or adventurous,
yet passes through the most surprising scenes, and encounters the most
imminent perils with a calm and unconscious heroism that can hardly fail to
command admiration."
The Gentleman's Magazine announces that the King of Denmark has
conferred the Order of Dannebrog on M. Worsaae, the author of the
Primeval Antiquities of Denmark, and other important works. This will be
gratifying intelligence to all who had the pleasure of making the
acquaintance of this accomplished antiquary during his visit to this country.
We hope the time is not far distant when similar distinctions will be
conferred in England on men of learning. The necessity for the institution of
some Order of Merit is insisted upon both in the Gentleman's Magazine
for this month, and The Athenæum of Saturday last; and a communication
urging its adoption, on novel and important grounds, has reached us,
unfortunately at too late a period in the week to admit of its insertion in our
present number.
Messrs. Puttick & Simpson (191. Piccadilly) will sell on Wednesday next
a portion of the Library (including numerous curious MSS. by Sir Isaac
Newton), Medals, &c. of the late Mr. Alchorne.

of Dr. Ford, late Principal of Magdalen Hall, and Professor of Arabic at
Oxford; and on Thursday and two following days, a valuable Collection of

"Adam Smith's errors, when he fell into any,
are corrected; most of the improvements
made in his science since his time are
recorded; and the work is not only adapted to
our age, but is a history of past aberrations,

require any other notice or recommendation

BLACK'S GENERAL ATLAS
OF THE WORLD.
Revised and Corrected throughout, with
Numerous additional Maps. The work is in every
respect accommodated to the present advanced
state of geographical knowledge, and whether on
the ground of Accuracy, Beauty of Execution, or
Cheapness, the Publishers invite a comparison
with any other work of its class. The General
Index, an addition without which no Atlas can be
deemed complete, contains no fewer than 60,000
Names, with their Latitude and Longitude, and the
Number of the Map in which they will be found.
"We are now in possession of an 'Atlas'
which comprehends every discovery of
which the present century can boast. Not a
village nor a rivulet rendered famous by
victory—not a single hamlet jotted down in
the itinerary of the adventurous traveler—not
a single spot which theodolite or aneroid
barometer could determine with accuracy,
has been omitted in the map.... To crown the
whole, there is a superb index, upon the most
approved plan, with a faithful enumeration of
latitudes and longitudes. This 'Atlas' ought at
once to supersede all other works of the kind,
and no one, either in pursuit of truth on his
own account, or attempting to direct the
inquiries of others, will hereafter have any
which no other edition possesses to nearly so great
an extent.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable
effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have
not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg
electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility:
www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including
how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
