Notes.
ON THE USE OF THE HOUR-GLASS IN PULPITS.

George Herbert says:

"The parson exceeds not an hour in preaching, because all ages have thought
that a competency."—A Priest to the Temple, p. 28.

Ferrarius, De Ritu Concion., lib. i. c. 34., makes the following statement:

"Huic igitur certo ac communi malo (the evil of too long sermons) ut
medicinam facerent, Ecclesiæ patres in concionando determinatum dicendi
tempus fereque unius horæ spatio conclusum aut ipsi sibi præscribant, aut ab
aliis præfinitum religiosè observabant."

Bingham, commenting on this passage, observes:

"Ferrarius and some others are very positive that they (their sermons) were
generally an hour long; but Ferrarius is at a loss to tell by what instrument they
measured their hour, for he will not venture to affirm that they preached, as the
old Greek and Roman orators declaimed, by an hour-glass."—See Bingham,
vol. iv. p. 582.

This remark of Bingham's brings me at once to the subject of my present
communication. What evidence exists of the practice of preaching by the hour-glass,
thus treated as improbable, if not ridiculous, by the learned writer just quoted? If the
early Fathers of the church timed their sermons by any instrument of the kind, we
should expect their writings to contain internal evidence of the fact, just as frequent
allusion is made by Demosthenes and other ancient orators to the klepshydra or
water-clock, by which the time allotted to each speaker was measured. Besides, the
close proximity of such an instrument would be a constant source of metaphorical
allusion on the subject of time and eternity. Perhaps those of your readers who are
familiar with the extant sermons of the Greek and Latin fathers, may be able to
supply some illustration on this subject. At all events there appears to be
indisputable evidence of the use of the hour-glass in the pulpit formerly in this
country.

In an extract from the churchwardens' accounts of the parish of St. Helen, in
Abingdon, Berks, we find the following entry:

"Anno mdxci. 34 Eliz. 'Payde for an houre-glasse for the pulpit,' 4d."—See
Hone's Table-Book, vol. i. p. 482.

Among the accounts of Christ Church, St. Catherine's, Aldgate, under the year 1564,
this entry occurs:

"Paid for an hour-glass that hangeth by the pulpitt when the preacher doth
make a sermon that he may know how the hour passeth away."—Malcolm's
Londinium, vol. iii. p. 309., cited Southey's Common-Place Book, 4th Series, p.
471.

In Fosbrooke (Br. Mon., p. 286.) I find the following passage:

"A stand for an hour-glass still remains in many pulpits. A rector of Bibury (in
Gloucestershire) used to preach two hours, regularly turning the glass. After the
text the esquire of the parish withdrew, smoaked his pipe, and returned to the
blessing."

The authority for this, which Fosbrooke cites, is Rudder's Gloucestershire, in
"Bibury." It is added that lecturers' pulpits have also hour-glasses The woodcuts in
Hawkins's Music, ii. 332., are referred to in support of this statement. I regret that I
have no means of consulting the two last-mentioned authorities.

In 1681 some poor crazy people at Edinburgh called themselves the Sweet Singers
of Israel. Among other things, they renounced the limiting the Lord's mind by
glasses. This is no doubt in allusion to the hour-glass, which Mr. Water, the editor of
the fourth series of Southey's Common-Place Book, informs us is still to be found,
or at least its iron frame, in many churches, adding that the custom of preaching by
the hour-glass commenced about the end of the sixteenth century. I cannot help
thinking that an earlier date must be assigned to this singular practice. (See
Southey's Common-Place Book, 4th series, p. 379.) Mr. Water states that one of
these iron frames still exists at Ferring in Sussex. The iron extinguishers still to be
found on the railing opposite large houses in London, are a similar memorial of an
obsolete custom.

I trust some contributor to the "N. & Q." will be able to supply farther illustrations
of this custom. Should it be revived in our own times, I fear most parishes would
supply only a half-hour glass for the pulpit of their church, however unanimous
antiquity may be in favour of sermons of an hour's duration. One advantage

presented by this ancient and precise practice was, that the squire of the parish knew
exactly when it was time to put out his pipe and return for the blessing, which he
cannot ascertain under the present uncertain and indefinite mode of preaching.
Fosbrooke (Br. Mon., p. 286.) states that the priest had sometimes a watch found for
him by the parish. The authority cited for this is the following entry in the accounts
of the Chantrey Wardens of the parish of Shire in Surrey:

"Received for the priest's watch after he was dead, 13s. 4d."—Manning's
Surrey, vol. i. p. 531.

This entry seems to be rather too vague and obscure to warrant the inference drawn
from it. This also may be susceptible of farther illustration.

THE MEGATHERIUM AMERICANUM IN THE BRITISH
MUSEUM.

Amongst the most interesting specimens of that collection certainly ranges the
skeleton of the above animal of a primæval world, albeit but a cast; the real bones,
found in Buenos Ayres, being preserved in the Museum of Madrid. To imagine a
sloth of the size of a large bear, somewhat baffles our imagination; especially if we
ponder upon the size of trees on which such a huge animal must have lived. To have
placed near him a nondescript branch (!!) of a palm, as has been done in the
Museum here, is a terrible mistake. Palms there were none at that period of telluric
formation; besides, no sloth ever could ascend an exogenous tree, as the simple
form of the coma of leaves precludes every hope of motion, &c. I never can view
those remnants of a former world, without being forcibly reminded of that most
curious passage in Berosus, which I cite from memory:

"There was a flood raging then over parts of the world.... There were to be
seen, however, on the walls of the temple of Belus, representations of animals,
such as inhabited the earth before the Flood."

We may thence gather, that although the ancient world did not possess museums of
stuffed animals, yet, the first collection of Icones is certainly that mentioned by
Berosus. I think that it was about the times of the Crusades, that animals were first
rudely preserved (stuffed), whence the emblems in the coats of arms of the nobility
also took their origin. I have seen a MS. in the British Museum dating from this
period, where the delineation of a bird of the Picus tribe is to be found. Many things

which the Crusaders saw in Egypt and Syria were so striking and new to them, that
they thought of means of preserving them as mementoes for themselves and friends.
The above date, I think, will be an addition to the history of collections of natural
history: a work wanting yet in the vast domain of modern literature.

REMUNERATION OF AUTHORS.

In that varied and interesting of antiquarian and literary curiosities, "N. & Q.,"
perhaps a collection of the prices paid by booksellers and publishers for works of
interest and to authors of celebrity might find a corner. As a first contribution
towards such a collection, if approved of, I send some Notes made some years ago,
with the authorities from which I copied them. With regard to those cited on the
authority of "R. Chambers," I cannot now say from which of Messrs. Chambers's
publications I extracted them, but fancy it might have been the Cyclopædia of
English Literature. To any one disposed to swell the list of the remunerations of
authors, I would suggest that Disraeli's Curiosities of Literature, Boswell's Life of
Johnson, Johnson's Lives of the Poets and other works of every-day handling, would
no doubt furnish many facts; but all my books being in the country, I have no means
of searching, and therefore send my Notes in the fragmentary state in which I find
them:—

I perfectly agree with the suggestion of one of your correspondents, that, in a
publication like yours, dealing with historic facts, the communications should not be
anonymous, or made under noms de guerre. I therefore drop the initials with which I
have signed previous communications, and append my name as suggested.

COINCIDENT LEGENDS.

In the Scandinavian portion of the Fairy Mythology, there is a legend of a farmer
cheating a Troll in an argument respecting the crops that were to be grown on the
hill within which the latter resided. It is there observed that Rabelais tells the same

story of a farmer and the Devil. I think there can be no doubt that these are not
independent fictions, but that the legend is a transmitted one, the Scandinavian
being the original, brought with them perhaps by the Normans. But what are we to
say to the actual fact of the same legend being found in the valleys of Afghánistán?

Masson, in his Narrative, &c. (iii. 297.), when speaking of the Tájiks of Lúghmân,
says,—

"They have the following amusing story: In times of yore, ere the natives were
acquainted with the arts of husbandry, the Shaitán, or Devil, appeared amongst
them, and, winning their confidence, recommended them to sow their lands.
They consented, it being farther agreed that the Devil was to be a sherík, or
partner, with them. The lands were accordingly sown with turnips, carrots,
beet, onions, and such vegetables whose value consists in the roots. When the
crops were mature the Shaitán appeared, and generously asked the assembled
agriculturists if they would receive for their share what was above ground or
what was below. Admiring the vivid green hue of the tops, they unanimously
replied that they would accept what was above ground. They were directed to
remove their portion, when the Devil and his attendants dug up the roots and
carried them away. The next year he again came and entered into partnership.
The lands were now sown with wheat and other grains, whose value lies in
their seed-spikes. In due time, as the crops had ripened, he convened the
husbandmen, putting the same question to them as he did the preceding year.
Resolved not to be deceived as before, they chose for their share what was
below ground; on which the Devil immediately set to work and collected the
harvest, leaving them to dig up the worthless roots. Having experienced that
they were not a match for the Devil, they grew weary of his friendship; and it
fortunately turned out that, on departing with his wheat, he took the road from
Lúghmân to Báríkâb, which is proverbially intricate, and where he lost his
road, and has never been heard of or seen since."

Surely here is simple coincidence, for there could scarcely ever have been any
communication between such distant regions in remote times, and the legend has
hardly been carried to Afghánistán by Europeans. There is, as will be observed, a
difference in the character of the legends. In the Oriental one it is the Devil who
outwits the peasants. This perhaps arises from the higher character of the Shaitán
(the ancient Akriman) than that of the Troll or the mediæval Devil.
Thos. Keightley.

SHAKSPEARE READINGS, NO. VIII.

I have to announce the detection of an important misprint, which completely
restores sense, point, and antithesis to a sorely tormented passage in King Lear; and
which proves at the same time that the corrector of Mr. Collier's folio, in this
instance at least, is undeniably in error. Here, as elsewhere (whether by anticipation
or imitation I shall not take upon me to decide), he has fallen into just the same
mistake as the rest of the commentators: indeed it is startling to observe how
regularly he suspects every passage that they have suspected, and how invariably he
treats them in the same spirit of emendation (some places of course excepted, where
his courage soars far beyond theirs; such as the memorable "curds and cream," "on a
table of green frieze," &c.).

I say that the error of "the old corrector," in this instance, is undeniable, because the
misprint I am about to expose, like the egg-problem of Columbus, when once
shown, demonstrates itself: so that any attempt to support it by argument would be
absurd, because superfluous.

There are two verbs, one in every-day use, the other obsolete, which, although of
nearly opposite significations, and of very dissimilar sound, nevertheless differ only
in the mutual exchange of place in two letters: these verbs are secure and recuse; the
first implying assurance, the second want of assurance, or refusal. Hence any
sentence would receive an opposite meaning from one of these verbs to what it
would from the other.

Let us now refer to the opening scene of the Fourth Act of King Lear, where the old
man offers his services to Gloster, who has been deprived of his eyes:

"Old Man. You cannot see your way.

Gloster. I have no way, and therefore want no eyes;
I stumbled when I saw: full oft 'tis seen
Our means secure us, and our mere defects
Prove our commodities."

Here one would suppose that the obvious opposition between means and defects
would have preserved these words from being tampered with; and that, on the other
hand, the absence of opposition between secure and commodious would have
directed attention to the real error. But, no: all the worretting has been about means;
and this unfortunate word has been twisted in all manner of ways, until finally "the
old corrector" informs us that "the printer read wants 'means,' and hence the
blunder!"

Now, mark the perfect antithesis the passage receives from the change of secure into
recuse:

"Full oft 'tis seen
Our means recuse us, and our mere defects
Prove our commodities."

I trust I may be left in the quiet possession of whatever merit is due to this
restoration. Some other of my humble auxilia have, before now, been coolly
appropriated, with the most innocent air possible, without the slightest
acknowledgment. One instance is afforded in Mr. Keightley's communication to
"N. & Q.," Vol. vii., p. 136., where that gentleman not only repeats the explanation I
had previously given of the same passage, but even does me the honour of requoting
the same line of Shakspeare with which I had supported it.

I did not think it worth noticing at the time, nor should I now, were it not that Mr.
Keightley's confidence in the negligence or want of recollection in your readers
seems not have been wholly misplaced, if we may judge from Mr. Arrowsmith's
admiring foot-note in last Number of "N. & Q.," p. 568.

SHAKESPEARE'S USE OF THE IDIOM "NO HAD" AND "NO
HATH NOT."

(Vol. vii., p. 520.)

We are under great obligations to the Rev. Mr. Arrowsmith for his very interesting
illustration of several misunderstood archaisms; and it may not be unacceptable to
him if I call his attention to what seems to me a farther illustration of the above
singular idiom, from Shakspeare himself.

In As You Like It, Act I. Sc. 3., where Rosalind has been banished by the Duke her
uncle, we have the following dialogue between Celia and her cousin:

"Cel. O my poor Rosalind! whither wilt thou go?
Wilt thou change fathers? I will give thee mine.
I charge thee, be not thou more grieved than I am.

Ros. I have more cause.

Cel. Thou hast not, cousin:
Pr'ythee be cheerful: know'st thou not, the duke
Hath banish'd me, his daughter?

Ros. That he hath not.

Cel. No hath not? Rosalind lacks, then, the love
Which teacheth thee that thou and I are one.
Shall we be sunder'd," &c.

From wrong pointing, and ignorance of the idiomatic structure, the passage has
hitherto been misunderstood; and Warburton proposed to read, "Which teacheth
me," but was fortunately opposed by Johnson, although he did not clearly
understand the passage. I have ventured to change am to are, for I cannot conceive
that Shakspeare wrote, "that thou and I am one!" It is with some hesitation that I
make this trifling innovation on the old text, although we have, a few lines lower,
the more serious misprint of your change for the charge. I presume that the
abbreviated form of the = ye was taken for for yr, and the r in charge mistaken for n;
and in the former case of am for are, indistinctness in old writing, and especially in
such a hand as, it appears from his autograph, our great poet wrote, would readily
lead to such mistakes. That the correction was left to the printer of the first folio, I
am fully persuaded; yet, in comparison with the second folio, it is a correct book,
notwithstanding all its faults. That it was customary for men who were otherwise
busied, as we may suppose Heminge and Condell to have been, to leave the
correction entirely to the printer, is certain; for an acquaintance of Shakspeare's,
Resolute John Florio, distinctly shows that it was the case. We have this pithy brief
Preface to the second edition of his translation of Montaigne:

"To the Reader.

"Enough, if not too much, hath beene said of this translation. If the faults found
even by myselfe in the first impression, be now by the printer corrected, as he
was directed, the work is much amended: if not, know that through mine
attendance on her Majesty, I could not intend it; and blame not Neptune for my
second shipwracke. Let me conclude with this worthy man's daughter of
alliance: 'Que t'ensemble donc lecteur?'

Still Resolute John Florio."

there can be no excuse) for calling Shakspeare's plays "our national Bible"?

Minor Notes.
The Formation of the Woman, Gen. ii. 21, 22.—The terms of Matthew Henry on this
subject, in his learned Commentary, have become quite commonplace with divines,
when speaking of the ordinance of marriage:

"The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam: not made out of his
head, to top him; nor out of his feet, to be trampled upon by him; but out of his
side, to be equal with him; under his arm, to be protected; and near his heart, to
be beloved."

Like many other things in his Exposition, this is not original with Henry. It is here
traced to the Speculum Humanæ Salvationis of the earliest and rarest printed works.
Some of your readers can probably trace it to the Fathers. The verses which follow
are engraven in block characters in the first edition of the work named, and are
copied from the fifth plate of specimens of early typography in Meerman's Origines
Typographicæ: Hague, mdcclxv.:

"Mulier autem in paradiso est formata
De costis viri dormientis est parata
Deus autem ipsam super virum honestavit
Quoniam Evam in loco voluptatis plasmavit,
Non facit eam sicut virum de limo terræ
Sed de osse nobilis viri Adæ et de ejus carne.
Non est facta de pede, ne a viro despiceretur
Non de capite ne supra virum dominaretur.
Sed est facta de latere maritali
Et data est viro pro gloria et socia collaterali.
Quæ si sibi in honorem collata humiliter præstitisset
Nunquam molestiam a viro unquam sustinuisset."
O. T. D.

Singular Way of showing Displeasure.—

"The earl's regiment not long after, according to order, marched to take
possession of the town (Londondery); but at their appearance before it the
citizens clapt up the gates, and denyed them entrance, declaring their resolution
for the king (William III.) and their own preservation. Tyrconnel at the news of

this was said to have burnt his wig, as an indication of his displeasure with the
townsmen's proceedings."—Life of James II., p. 290.
E. H. A.

The Maids and the Widows.—The following petition, signed by sixteen maids of
Charleston, South Carolina, was presented to the governor of that province on
March 1, 1733-4, "the day of the feast:"

"To His Excellency Governor Johnson.

"The humble Petition of all the Maids whose names are underwritten:

"Whereas we the humble petitioners are at present in a very melancholy
disposition of mind, considering how all the bachelors are blindly captivated by
widows, and our more youthful charms thereby neglected: the consequence of
this our request is, that your Excellency will for the future order that no widow
shall presume to marry any young man till the maids are provided for; or else
to pay each of them a fine for satisfaction, for invading our liberties; and
likewise a fine to be laid on all such bachelors as shall be married to widows.
The great disadvantage it is to us maids, is, that the widows, by their forward
carriages, do snap up the young men; and have the vanity to think their merits
beyond ours, which is a great imposition upon us who ought to have the
preference.

"This is humbly recommended to your Excellency's consideration, and hope
you will prevent any farther insults.

"And we poor Maids as in duty bound will ever pray.

"P.S.—I, being the oldest Maid, and therefore most concerned, do think it
proper to be the messenger to your Excellency in behalf of my fellow
subscribers."

Alison's "Europe."—In a note to Sir A. Alison's Europe, vol. ix. p. 397., 12mo.,
enforcing the opinion that the prime movers in all revolutions are not men of high
moral or intellectual qualities, he quotes, as from "Sallust de Bello Cat.,"

"In turbis atque seditionibus pessimo cuique plurima vis; pax et quies bonis
artibus aluntur."

No such words, however, are to be found in Sallust: but the correct expression is in
Tacitus (Hist., iv. 1.):

"Quippe in turbas et discordias pessimo cuique plurima vis; pax et quies bonis
artibus indigent."

Sir A. Alison quotes, in the same note, as from Thucydides (l. iii. c. 39.), the
following:

"In the contests of the Greek commonwealth, those who were esteemed the
most depraved, and had the least foresight, invariably prevailed; for being
conscious of this weakness, and dreading to be overreached by those of greater
penetration, they went to work hastily with the sword and poniard, and thereby
got the better of their antagonists, who where occupied with more refined
schemes."

This paragraph is certainly not in the place mentioned; nor can I find it after a
diligent search through Thucydides. Will Sir A. Alison, or any of his Oxford friends,
be good enough to point out the author, and indicate where such a passage is really
to be found?

"Bis dat, qui cito dat" (Vol. vi., p. 376.).—"Sat cito, si sat bene."—The first of these
proverbs reminded me of the second, which was a favourite maxim of Lord
Chancellor Eldon. (See The Life of Lord Chancellor Eldon, vol. i. p. 48.) I notice it
for the purpose of showing that Lord Eldon followed (perhaps unconsciously) the
example of Augustus, and that the motto is as old as the time of the first Roman
emperor, if it is not of more remote origin. The following is an extract from the Life
of Augustus, Sueton., chap. xxv.:

"Nil autem minus in imperfecto duce, quam festinationem temeritatemque,
convenire arbitrabatur. Crebrò itaque illa jactabat, Σπεῦδε βραδεως. Et:

'ἀσφαλὴς γὰρ ἐστ' αμείνων ἤ θρασὺς στρατηλάτης.'

Et, 'Sat celeriter fieri, quicquid fiat satis bene.'"

Perhaps T. H. can give us the origin of these Greek and Latin maxims, as he has of
"Bis dat, qui cito dat" (Vol. i., p. 330).

Queries.
HOUSE-MARKS.

Are there traces in England of what the people of Germany, on the shores of the
Baltic, call Hausmärke, and what in Denmark and Norway is called bolmærke,
bomærke? These are certain figures, generally composed of straight lines, and
imitating the shape of the cross or the runes, especially the so-called compound
runes. They are meant to mark all sorts of property and chattels, dead and alive,
movable and immovable, and are drawn out, or burnt into, quite inartistically,
without any attempt of colouring or sculpturing. So, for instance, every freeholder in
Praust, a German village near Dantzic, has his own mark on all his property, by
which he recognises it. They are met with on buildings, generally over the door, or
on the gable-end, more frequently on tombstones, or on epitaphs in churches, on
pews and old screens, and implements, cattle, and on all sorts of documents, where
the common people now use three crosses.

The custom is first mentioned in the old Swedish law of the thirteenth century
(Uplandslagh, Corp. Jur. Sveo-Goth., iii. p. 254.), and occurs almost at the same
period in the seals of the citizens of the Hanse-town Lubeck. It has been in common
use in Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Sleswick, Holstein, Hamburgh, Lubeck,
Mecklenburgh, and Pomerania, but is at present rapidly disappearing. Yet, in
Holstein they still mark the cattle grazing on the common with the signs of their
respective proprietors; they do the same with the haystacks in Mecklenburgh, and
the fishing-tackle on the small islands of the Baltic. In the city of Dantzic these
marks still occur in the prayer-books which are left in the churches.

There are scarcely any traces of this custom in the south of Germany, except that the
various towers of the city-wall of Nurnberg are said to bear their separate marks;
and that an apothecary of Strasburg, Merkwiller, signs a document, dated 1521, with
his name, his coat of arms, and a simple mark.

Professor Homeyer has lately read, before the Royal Academy of Berlin, a very
learned paper on the subject, and has explained this ancient custom as significant of
popular law, possibly intimating the close connexion between the property and its
owner. I am sorry not to be able to copy out the Professor's collection of runic
marks; but I trust that the preceding lines will be sufficient in order to elicit the
various traces of a similar custom still prevalent, or remembered, in the British isles;
an account of which will be thankfully received at Berlin, where they have lately

been informed, that even the eyder-geese on the Shetlands are distinguished by the
marks of their owners.

Uniforms of the three Regiments of Foot Guards, temp. Charles II.—Being very
desirous to know where well authenticated pictures of officers in the regimentals of
the Foot Guards during the reign of Charles II. may be seen, or are, I shall be greatly
obliged to any reader of "N & Q." who will supply the information. I make no doubt
there are, in many of the private collections of this country, several portraits of
officers so dressed, which have descended as heir-looms in families. I subjoin the
colonels' names, and dates of the regiments:

1st Foot Guards, 1660: Colonel Russell, Henry Duke of Grafton.

Raffaelle's Sposalizio.—Will Digitalis, or any of your numerous correspondents or
readers, do me the favour to say why, in Raffaelle's celebrated painting "Lo
Sposalizio," in the gallery of the Brera at Milan, Joseph is represented as placing the
ring on the third finger of right hand of the Virgin?

I noticed the same peculiarity in Ghirlandais's fresco of the "Espousals" in the
church of the Santa Croce at Florence. This I remarked to the custode, an intelligent
old man, who informed me that the connexion said to exist between the heart and
the third finger refers to that finger of the right hand, and not, as we suppose, to the
third finger of the left hand. He added, that the English are the only nation who
place the ring on the left hand. I do not find that this latter statement is borne out by
what I have seen of the ladies of continental Europe; and I suppose it was an
hallucination in my worthy informant.

I must leave to better scholars in the Italian language than I am, to say whether "Lo
Sposalizio" means "Betrothal" or "Marriage:" certainly this latter is the ordinary
signification.

I have a sort of floating idea that I once heard that at the ceremony of "Betrothal,"
now, I believe, rarely if ever practised, it was customary to place the ring on the
right hand. I am by no means clear where I gleaned this notion.

Richard Candishe? The epitaph says he was "derived from noble parentage;" but the
arms on the monument are not those of the noble House of Cavendish, which sprung
from the parish of that name in Suffolk. The arms of Richard Candishe are given as
"three piles wavy gules in a field argent; the crest, a fox's head erased azure."

Family of Milton's Widow.—Your correspondent Cranmore, in his article on the

an intimate friend of Milton and cousin to the poet's fourth (no doubt meaning his
third) wife, Elizabeth Minshall, of whose family descent, which appears to be rather
obscure, I may at another time communicate some particulars."

Now, as more than a year has elapsed since the article referred to appeared in your
valuable columns, without the subject of Elizabeth Minshall's descent having been
farther noticed, I hope your correspondent will pardon my soliciting him to supply
the information he possesses relative thereto, which cannot fail proving interesting

Table-moving.—Was not Bacon acquainted with this phenomenon? I find in his

"Whenever a solid is pressed, there is an inward tumult of the parts thereof,
tending to deliver themselves from the compression: and this is the cause of all
violent motion. It is very strange that this motion has never been observed and
inquired into; as being the most common and chief origin of all mechanical
operations.

"This motion operates first in a round by way of proof and trial, which way to
deliver itself, and then in progression where it finds the deliverance easiest."

Minor Queries with Answers.
Form of Petition, &c.—May I request the insertion of a Query, requesting some of
your readers to supply the ellipsis in the form with which petitions to Parliament are
required to be closed, viz.: "And your petitioners will ever pray, &c." To me, I
confess, there appears to be something like impiety in its use in its present
unmeaning state. Would a petition be rendered informal by any addition which
would make it more comprehensible?
C. W. B.
[The ellipsis appears to have varied according to circumstances: hence we find, in an
original petition addressed to the Privy Council (apparently temp. Jac. I.), the concluding
formula given at length thus:—"And yor suplt, as in all dutie bounden, shall daylie pray
for your good Lps." Another petition, presented to Charles I. at Newark, a.d. 1641, closes
thus: "And your petitioners will ever pray for your Majesty's long and happy reign over
us." Another, from the Mayor and Aldermen of London, in the same year: "And the
petitioners, as in all duty bound, shall pray for your Majesty's most long and happy reign."
Again, in the same year, the petition of the Lay-Catholic Recusants of England to the
Commons closes thus: "And for so great a charity your humble petitioners shall ever (as
in duty bound) pray for your continual prosperity and eternal happiness." We do not
believe that any petition would be rendered informal by such addition as would make it
more comprehensible.]

PARISH REGISTERS.—RIGHT OF SEARCH.

In Vol. iv., p. 473. a Query on this subject is inserted, to which, in Vol. v., p. 37., Mr.
Chadwick replied.

The question, one of great importance to the genealogist, has recently been the
subject of judicial decision, in the case of Steele v. Williams, reported in the 17th
volume of the Jurist, p. 464. (the Number for Saturday, 28th May).

At the opening of the argument, the Court of Exchequer decided that the fees, &c.
are regulated by the 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 86., "An Act for registering Births, Deaths,
and Marriages in England," which in the 35th section enacts—

"That every rector, vicar, curate, and every registrar, registering officer, and
secretary, who shall have the keeping, for the time being, of any register book
of births, deaths, or marriages, shall at all reasonable times allow searches to be
made of any register book in his keeping, and shall give a copy, certified under
his hand, of any entry or entries in the same, on payment of the fee hereinafter
mentioned; that is to say, for every search extending over a period not more
than one year, the sum of 1s., and 6d. additional for every additional year; and
the sum of 2s. 6d. for every single certificate."

Mr. Chadwick seemed to consider this section only applied to "civil registration;"
but this view is, I apprehend, now quite untenable.

The case was, whether a parish clerk had a right to charge 2s. 6d., where the party
searching the register did not require "certified copies," but only made his own
extracts; and it is decided he has no such right.

Mr. Baron Parke in his judgment says:

"I think this payment was not voluntary, because the defendant" [the parish
clerk] "told the plaintiff, that if he did not pay him for certificates, in all cases
in which he wanted to make extracts, he should not make a search at all. I think
the plaintiff had at all events a right to make a search, and during that time
make himself master, as he best might, of the contents of the book, and could
not be prevented from so doing by the clerk in whose custody they were; who

in the present case insisted that if he wanted copies he must have certificates
with the signature of the incumbent. For the 1s. he paid, the applicant had a
right to look at all the names in one year. He had no right to remain an
unreasonable time looking at the book; nor perhaps, strictly speaking, was the
parish clerk bound to put it into his hands at all: for the clerk has a right to
superintend everything done, and might fairly say to a man, 'Your hands are
dirty: keep them in your pockets.' The applicant could therefore only exercise
his right of search during a reasonable time, and make extracts that way. If a
man insists on taking himself a copy of anything in the books, that case is not
provided for by the statute: but if he requires a copy certified by the clergyman,
then he must pay an additional fee for it.

"It was consequently an illegal act in the defendant to insist that the plaintiff
should pay 2s. 6d. for each entry in the book, of which he might choose to
make an extract," &c.

Mr. Baron Martin says:

"With respect to the statute, counsel (Mr. Robinson) says, because taking
extracts is not mentioned in the statute, it is competent for a parish clerk to take
an extra payment for allowing them to be made. Where a man is allowed by
statute to receive money, it is, as it were, by virtue of a contract that the statute
makes for him, and he cannot make a contract for a different sum. The
defendant here is bound by the entirety of the statute; he may be paid for a
search, or for a certified copy, but there is no intermediate course."

This decision will, I hope, have the effect of removing the difficulties so often
experienced in making searches for genealogical purposes. At all events, the person
making such search can now safely make his own notes, none daring lawfully to
make him afraid. I have to apologise for the length of this letter.

THE HONOURABLE MISS E. ST. LEGER, A FREEMASON.

(Vol. iv., p. 234.)

There is an inquiry in Vol. iv., p. 234., as to whether there is any truth in the story,
that the Honourable Miss E. St. Leger was made a freemason; and as no account of
the circumstances has yet appeared in your pages, I send you the following

statement, which has been extracted from The Patrician. Apart from its value as a
record of this singular fact, it contains other particulars which you may deem worthy
of preservation in "N. & Q."

"The Hon. Elizabeth St. Leger as the only female who was ever initiated into
the ancient and honourable mystery of Freemasonry. How she obtained this
honour we shall lay before our readers, having obtained the only genuine
information from the best sources.

"Lord Doneraile, Miss St. Leger's father, a very zealous mason, held a warrant,
and occasionally opened Lodge at Doneraile House, his sons and some intimate
friends assisting; and it is said that never were the masonic duties more rigidly
performed than by the brethren of No. 150, the number of their warrant.

"It appears that previous to the initiation of a gentleman to the first steps of
masonry, Miss St Leger, who was a young girl, happened to be in an apartment
adjoining the room generally used as a lodge-room; but whether the young lady
was there by design or accident, we cannot confidently state. This room at the
time was undergoing some alteration: amongst other things, the wall was
considerably reduced in one part, for the purpose of making a saloon.

"The young lady having heard the voices of the Freemasons, and prompted by
the curiosity natural to all, to see this mystery so long and so secretly locked up
from public view, she had the courage to pick a brick from the wall with her
scissors, and witnessed the ceremony through the first two steps. Curiosity
gratified, fear at once took possession of her mind; and those who understand
this passage, well know what the feelings of any person must be who could
unlawfully behold that ceremony. Let them then judge what were the feelings
of a young girl, under such extraordinary circumstances.

"Here was no mode of escape except through the very room where the
concluding part of the second step was still being solemnised; and that being at
the far end, and the room a very large one, she had resolution sufficient to
attempt her escape that way, and with light but trembling step glided along
unobserved, laid her hand on the handle of the door, and gently opening it,
before her stood, to her dismay, a grim and surly tiler, with his long sword
unsheathed. A shriek that pierced through the apartment alarmed the members
of the lodge, who all rushing to the door, and finding that Miss St. Leger had
been in the room during the ceremony, in the first paroxysm of their rage, it is
said, her death was resolved upon; but from the moving and earnest
supplication of her younger brother, her life was spared, on condition of her
going through the two steps of the solemn ceremony she had unlawfully

witnessed. This she consented to do, and they conducted the beautiful and
terrified young lady through those trials which are sometimes more than
enough for masculine resolution, little thinking they were taking into the
bosom of their craft a member that would afterwards reflect a lustre on the
annals of Masonry.

"Miss St. Leger was directly descended from Sir Robert De St. Leger, who
accompanied William the Conqueror to England, and was of that high repute
that he, with his own hand, supported that prince when he first went out of his
ship to land in Sussex.

"Miss St. Leger was cousin to General Anthony St. Leger, Governor of St.
Lucia, who instituted the interesting race and the celebrated Doncaster St.
Leger stakes.

"Miss St. Leger married Richard Aldworth, Esq., of Newmarket, a member of a
highly honourable and ancient family, long celebrated for their hospitality and
other virtues. Whenever a benefit was given at the theatres in Dublin or Cork
for the Masonic Orphan Asylum, she walked at the head of the Freemasons,
with her apron and other insignia of Freemasonry, and sat in the front row of
the stage box. The house was always crowded on those occasions.

"The portrait of this estimable woman is in the lodge room of almost every
lodge in Ireland."

WEATHER RULES.

(Vol. vii., p. 522.)

Your correspondent J. A., jun., invites further contributions on the subject to which
he refers. Though by no means infallible, such prognostics are not without a
measure of truth, founded as they are on habits of close observation:

1. "Si sol splendescat Maria Purificante
Major erit glacies post festum quàm fuit ante."

Rendered thus:

"When on the Purification sun hath shin'd,

The greater part of winter comes behind."

2. "If the sun shines on Easter-day, it shines on Whit
Sunday likewise."

To this I may add the French adage:

"Quel est Vendredi tel Dimanche."

From a MS. now in my possession, dating two centuries back, I extract the
following remarks on "Times and Seasons," as not wholly unconnected with the
present subject:

"Easter-day never falleth lower than the 22nd of March, and never higher than
the 25th of April."

"Shrove Sunday has its range between the 1st of February and the 7th of
March."

"Whit Sunday between the 10th of May and the 13th of June."

"A rule of Shrovetide:—The Tuesday after the second change of the moon after
New Year's-day is always Shrove Tuesday."

To these I may perhaps be permitted to add certain cautions, derived frown the same
source:

"The first Monday in April, the day on which Cain was born, and Abel was
slain.

"The second Monday in August, on which day Sodom and Gomorrah were
destroyed.

"The 31st of December, on which day Judas was born, who betrayed Christ.

"These are dangerous days to begin any business, fall sick, or undertake any
journey."

We smile at the superstition which thus stamps these several periods as days of ill
omen, especially when we reflect that farther inquiry would probably place every
other day of the week under a like ban, and thus greatly impede the business of life
—Friday, for instance, which, since our Lord's crucifixion on that day, we are
strongly disinclined to make the starting-point of any new enterprise.

In many cases this superstition is based on unpleasing associations connected with
the days proscribed. Who can wonder if, in times less enlightened than our own,
undue importance were attached to the strange coincidence which marked the deaths
of Henry VIII. and his posterity. They all died on a Tuesday; himself on Tuesday,
January 28, 1547; Edward VI. on Tuesday, July 6, 1553; Mary on Tuesday,
November 17, 1558; Elizabeth on Tuesday, March 24, 1603.

SCOTCHMEN IN POLAND.

(Vol. vii., p. 475.)

In the debates about a union with Scotland in 1606, the "multiplicities of the Scots
in Polonia" formed one of the arguments of the opposing party, who thought that
England was likely to be overrun in a similar fashion. According to Wilson (Hist. of
James I., p. 34.), the naturalisation of the Scots—

"Was opposed by divers strong and modest arguments. Among which they
brought in the comparison of Abraham and Lot, whose families joining, they
grew to difference, and to those words, 'Vade tu ad dextram, et ego ad
sinistram.' It was answered, That speech brought the captivity of the one; they
having disjoined their strength. The party opposing said, If we admit them into
our liberties, we shall be overrun with them; as cattle, naturally, pent up by a
slight hedge, will over it into a better soil; and a tree taken from a barren place
will thrive to excessive and exuberant branches in a better,—witness the
multiplicities of the Scots in Polonia.

"To which it was answered, That if they had not means, place, custom, and
employment (not like beasts, but men), they would starve in a plentiful soil,
though they came into it. And what springtide and confluence of that nation
have housed and familied themselves among us, these four years of the king's

reign? And they will never live so meanly here as they do in Polonia; for they
had rather discover their poverty abroad than at home."

This last "answerer" was Lord Bacon. In his speech "Of general Naturalisation"
(Works, vol. v. p. 52.), he asserts that the "multiplication of Scots in Polonia" must
of necessity be imputed

"To some special accident of time and place that draws them thither; for you
see plainly before your eyes, that in Germany, which is much nearer, and in
France, where they are invited with privileges, and with this very privilege of
naturalisation, yet no such number can be found; so as it cannot either be
nearness of place, or privilege of person, that is the cause."

What these "special accidents" were, it would be interesting to ascertain. Large
bodies of men were levied in Scotland during the latter half of the sixteenth century,
for the service of Sweden, and employed in the Polish wars. Can these have turned
merchants, or induced others to follow them? In 1573, Charles de Mornay brought
5000 Scots to Sweden. In 1576, whilst they were serving in Livonia, a quarrel broke
out between them and a body of Germans also in the Swedish pay, and 1500 Scots
were cut down. (Geiger, ch. xii.)

I believe Mr. Cunningham will find some notices of Scottish merchants in Poland in
Lithgow's Travels, which I have not at present by me.

MR. JUSTICE NEWTON.

(Vol. vii., p. 528.)

Sir Richard Newton was Chief Justice of the Common Pleas from 1438 to 1444, and
died Dec. 13th, 1444, and was buried in a chapel of Bristol Cathedral. (Collins's
Baronage, vol. iii. p. 145.) He assumed the name of Newton, instead of Caradoc,
from Newton in Powysland. (Collinson's Somersetshire, East Harptrie); and, as
Camden, p. 60., says, the Newtons "freely own themselves to be of Welsh
extraction, and not long ago to have been called Caradocks." These Caradocs were
descended from the ancient kings of Wales. Sir Richard Newton was twice married:
1. to a daughter of Newton, of Crossland; and 2. to Emmett, daughter of John
Harvey, of London, according to a MS. in the British Museum; but, according to
Somersetshire and Gloucestershire Visitations, to Emma, daughter of Sir Thomas
Perrott, of Islington. He had issue by both marriages, and from the second
descended Sir John Newton, who was created a baronet 12 Car. II., and died in

1661. The baronetcy was limited in remainder, at its creation, to John Newton, of
Hather, in Lincolnshire, and he became the second baronet. There are several
pedigrees tracing the descent from Sir Richard to the first baronet; but I have not yet
seen the descent to the second baronet, though there can be no doubt that he was
also descended from Sir Richard, otherwise the baronetcy could not have been
limited to him; and probably he was the next male heir of the first baronet, as that is
the usual mode of limiting titles. In the Heralds' College there is a pedigree of Sir
Isaac Newton, signed by himself, in which he traces his descent to the brother of the
ancestor of the second baronet. It should seem, therefore, that Sir Isaac was himself
descended from the Chief Justice. It would confer a great obligation on the writer if
any of your readers could afford any assistance to clear up the pedigree of the
second baronet.

As to the representatives of Sir Richard, I doubt whether his heir is discoverable,
although there are many descendants now living who trace their descent through
females.

THE MARRIAGE RING.

(Vol. vii., p. 332.)

I cannot agree with the answer given, under the above reference, to the question of
J. P.: "How did the use of the ring, in the marriage ceremony, originate?" The
answer given is taken from Wheatly's Rational Illustration, &c., and is in substance
this:—The ring anciently was a seal, and the delivery of this seal was a sign of
confidence; and as a ceremony in marriage, its signification is, that the wife is
admitted to the husband's counsels. From this argument, and the supposed proofs of
it, I beg to dissent; and I conceive that Wheatly has not thrown any light upon the
origin of this beautiful ceremony. To bear out his view, it would be necessary to
prove that a signet ring had originally been used for the wedding ring—a matter of
no slight difficulty, not to say impossibility.

What I take to be the real meaning of the ring as a part of the marriage ceremony, I
will now give. It has a far higher meaning in the ceremony, and a more important
duty to perform than merely to signify the admission of the wife into the counsels of
the husband. Its office is to teach her the duty she owes to her husband, rather than
the privilege of admission into his counsels. The ring is a preacher, to teach her
lessons of holy wisdom referring to her state of life.

A ring, whenever used by the church, signifies, to use the words of liturgical writers,
"integritatem fidei," the perfection of fidelity, and is "fidei sacramentum," the badge
of fidelity. Its form, having no beginning and no end, is the emblem of eternity,
constancy, integrity, fidelity, &c.; so that the wedding ring symbolises the eternal or
entire fidelity the wife pledges to her husband, and she wears the ring as the badge
of this fidelity. Its office, then, is to teach and perpetually remind her of the fidelity
she owes to her husband, and swore to him at the marriage ceremony.

The wedding ring is to the wife precisely what the episcopal ring is to the bishop,
and vice versâ. The language used during the ceremony to the one is very similar to
that used to the other, as the object of the ceremony and use of the ring is the same.
A bishop's ring, as we read, signifies "integritatem fidei," i. e. that he should love as
himself the church of God committed to him as his bride. When he receives the ring
at his consecration, the words used are, "Accipe annulum, fidei scilicet signaculum,
quatenus sponsam Dei, sanctum videlicet ecclesiam, intemerata fide ornatus illibate
custodias:" (Receive the ring, the badge of fidelity, to the end that, adorned with
inviolable fidelity you may guard without reproach the spouse of God, that is, His
Holy Church).

Hence the office of the episcopal ring throws light upon the office of the wedding
ring; and there can be no doubt whatever that its real meaning is, in the latter as in
the former case, to signify the eternal fidelity and constancy that should subsist
between the married couple.

That this is the correct view of the meaning of the wedding ring is farther confirmed
by the prayer used in blessing the ring: "Benedic, Domine, annulum hunc ... ut quæ
eum gestaverit, fidelitatem integram suo sponso tenens, in pace et voluntate tua
permaneat, acque in mutua charitate semper vivat."—Rituale, &c.

CANADA, ETC.

(Vol. vii., pp. 380. 504.)

My former Note on the origin of this name suggests a question, which, if you think
it worthy of a place in "N. & Q.," may interest many besides myself, viz. At what
period and by whom was that part of North America called Canada?

To the French it appears always to have been known as "La Nouvelle France." La
Hontan, who quitted the country 1690, I think, calls it Canada. Lajitan certainly
does, as well as many other old authors.

In a map of North America, date 1769, the tract bordering on the St. Lawrence,
lately called Upper and Lower Canada, is designated "The Province of Quebec;"
whilst the region to the northward, lying between it and Hudson's Bay, has the word
Canada in much larger letters, as if a general name of the whole. That the name is
slightly altered from an Indian word is probable, but not so that it was used by the
Indians themselves, who, in the first place, were not in the habit of imposing general
names on large districts, although they had significant ones for almost every
locality; the former were usually denominated the land of the Iroquois, of the
Hurons, &c., i. e. of the people dwelling, on, and in possession of it. Even allowing
that the Indians may have had a general name for the country, it is very unlikely that
one so unmeaning as "Kanata" would have been imposed upon it by a people whose
nomenclature in every other case is so full of meaning.

Moreover, although the Mic-macs of Gaspé may have called themselves Canadians
according to Lescarbot, yet we are told by Volney, that—

"The Canadian savages call themselves 'Metoktheniakes' (born of the sun),
without allowing themselves to be persuaded of the contrary by the Black
Robes," &c.—Vol. ii. p. 438.

The following, to the same purpose, is from the Quarterly Review, vol. iv. p. 463.:

"'Tapoy,' which we understand from good authority to be the generic
appellation by which the North American tribes distinguish themselves from
the whites," &c.

Now I should imagine both Lescarbot and Champlain, knowing nothing of the
language, and probably having very bad interpreters, must have made a great
mistake in supposing the Gaspésiens called themselves Canadians, for I have
questioned several intelligent Mic-Macs on the subject, and they have invariably
told me that they call themselves "Ulnookh" or "Elnouiek," "Ninen elnouiek!—We
are Men." But Mic-mac? "O, Mic-mac all same as Ulnookh." The latter word
strictly means Indian-man, and cannot be applied to a white. Mic-mac is the name of
their tribe, and, they insist upon it, always has been. Again, Kanata is said to be an
Iroquois word, and, consequently, not likely to have been in use amongst a tribe of
the Lenape family, which the Mic-macs are. It does not appear that we have any
authority for supposing the country was ever called Canada by the Indians
themselves.

It is curious enough that as Canada was said to derive from an exclamation, "Acá
nada!" so the capital has been made to take its name from another; "Quel bec!" cried
one of Champlain's Norman followers, on beholding Cape Diamond. As in the

former case, however, so in this, we have evidence of more probable sources of the
name, which I will enumerate as briefly as possible. The first, and a very probable
one, is the fact, that the strait between Quebec and St. Levi side of the river, was
called in the Algonquin language "Quebeio," i. e. a narrowing,—a most descriptive
appellation, for in ascending the river its breadth suddenly diminishes here from
about two miles to fourteen or fifteen hundred yards from shore to shore.

The little river St. Charles, which flows into the St. Lawrence on the northern side
of the promontory, is called in the Indian language (Algonquin?) Kabir or Koubac,
significant of its tortuous course, and it is from this, according to La Potherie, that
the city derives its name of Quebec.

Mr. Hawkins, in his Picture of Quebec, &c., 1834, denies the Indian origin of the
word, since, as he says, there is no analogous sound to it in any of their languages;
and he assumes a Norman origin for it on the strength of "Bec" being always used
by the Normans to designate a promontory in the first place; and secondly, because
the word Quebec is actually found upon a seal of the Earl of Suffolk, of historical
celebrity temp. Hen. V. and VI., which Mr. Hawkins supposes to have been the
name of some town, castle, or barony in Normandy.

Such are the pros and cons, upon which I do not presume to offer any opinion; only
I would observe, that if there are no analogous sounds in the Indian languages,
whence come Kennebec and other similar names?
A. C. M.
Exeter.

Surely in the "inscription on a seal (1420), in which the Earl of Suffolk is styled
'Domine [?] de Hamburg et de Quebec,'" the last word must be a misprint for Lubec,
the sister city of Hamburg. Mr. Hawkins's etymology seems to rest on no more
substantial foundation than an error of the press in the work, whichever that may be,
from which he quotes.

SELLING A WIFE.

(Vol. vii., p. 429.)

The popular idea that a man may legally dispose of his wife, by exposing her for
sale in a public market, may not improbably have arisen from the correlation of the
terms buying and selling. Your correspondent V. T. Sternberg need not be reminded

how almost universal was the custom among ancient nations of purchasing wives;
and he will admit that it appears natural that the commodity which has been
obtained "per æs et libram"—to use the phrase of the old Roman law touching
matrimony—is transferable to another for a similar consideration, whenever it may
have become useless or disagreeable to its original purchaser. However this may be,
the custom is ancient, and moreover appears to have obtained, to some extent,
among the higher orders of society. Of this an instance may be found in Grimaldi's
Origines Genealogicæ, pp. 22, 23. (London, 1828, 4to.) The deed, by which the
transaction was sought to be legalised, runs as follows:

"To all good Christians to whom this writ shall come, John de Camoys, son and
heir of Sir Ralph de Camoys, greeting: Know me to have delivered, and
yielded up of my own free will, to Sir William de Paynel, Knight, my wife
Margaret de Camoys, daughter and heiress of Sir John de Gatesden; and
likewise to have given and granted to the said Sir William, and to have made
over and quit-claimed all goods and chattels which the said Margaret has or
may have, or which I may claim in her right; so that neither I, nor any one in
my name, shall at any time hereafter be able to claim any right to the said
Margaret, or to her goods and chattels, or their pertinents. And I consent and
grant, and by this writ declare, that the said Margaret shall abide and remain
with the said Sir William during his pleasure. In witness of which I have placed
my seal to this deed, before these witnesses: Thomas de Depeston, John de
Ferrings, William de Icombe, Henry le Biroun, Stephen Chamberlayne, Walter
le Blound, Gilbert de Batecumbe, Robert de Bosco, and others."

This matter came under the cognisance of Parliament in 1302, when the grant was
pronounced to be invalid.

Now, we may fondly believe that this transaction, which occurred five hundred and
fifty years ago, was characteristic alone of that dark and distant period, and that no
parallel can be found in modern times (at least in a decent class of society, and
recognised by legal sanction) to justify the lively French dramatists in seizing upon
it as a trait of modern English manners. A transaction, however, came before the
public eye a month or two ago, which, should you think the following record of it
worth preservation as a "curiosity of legal experience," may lead your readers to a
different conclusion:

"A young man, named W. C. Capas, was charged at the Public Office,
Birmingham, Jan. 31, 1853, with assaulting his wife. The latter, in giving her
evidence, stated that her husband was not living with her, but was 'leased' to
another female. Upon inquiry by the magistrate into this novel species of
contract, the document itself was produced in court, and read. It ran as follows:

"'Memorandum of agreement made and entered into this second day of
October, in the year of our Lord 1852, between William Charles Capas, of
Charles-Henry Street, in the borough of Birmingham, in the county of
Warwick, carpenter, of the one part, and Emily Hickson, of Hurst Street,
Birmingham aforesaid, spinster, of the other part. Whereas the said William
Charles Capas and Emily Hickson have mutually agreed with each other to live
and reside together, and to mutually assist in supporting and maintaining each
other during the remainder of their lives, and also to sign the agreement
hereinafter contained to that effect: now, therefore, it is hereby mutually agreed
upon, by and between the said William Charles Capas and Emily Hickson, that
they the said, &c., shall live and reside together during the remainder of their
lives, and that they shall mutually exert themselves by work and labour, and by
following all their business pursuits, to the best of their abilities, skill, and
understanding, and by advising and assisting each other, for their mutual
benefit and advantage, and also to provide for themselves and each other the
best supports and comforts of life which their means and income may afford.
And for the true and faithful performance of this agreement, each of the said
parties bindeth himself and herself unto the other finally by this agreement, as
witness the hands of the said parties, this day and year first above written."

Here follow the signatures of the consenting parties. The girl Hickson was
examined, and admitted that she had signed the document at the office of a Mr.
Campbell, the lawyer(!) who prepared it, and that his charge for drawing up the
same was, she believed, 1l. 15s. The latter promised her, at the same time, that if the
wife of Capas gave her any annoyance he would put in that paper as evidence. The
magistrates, considering the assault proved, fined Capas 2s. 6d., and "commented in
very strong terms on the document which had that day been brought before them."
(See Birmingham Journal, Jan. 5th, 1853.) Has a similar transaction come before
the notice of your correspondents?

I may add that we are informed by the Birmingham Argus for March, 1834, that in
that month a man led his wife by a halter to Smithfield Market in that town, and
there publicly offered her for sale.

ENOUGH.

(Vol. vii., p. 455.)

This word, when written or pronounced enow, is regarded as a plural, and relates to
number. In this sense it is employed in Northampton and other Midland counties,
and is found in old writers. If the word was always pronounced enow, it must be
long since. The distinction above hinted at prevailed in Waller's time, and he
conforms to it in the examples quoted. Butler, in Hudibras, has both:

"This b'ing professed we hope enough,
And now go on where we left off.'
Part i. canto 2. 44.

Again, line 1153. of the same canto:

"For though the body may creep through,
The hands in grate are enough;"

an apparent exception, but not really such. (See also canto 3. 117. 285., where it
rhymes with "off," as also line 809. At line 739. it written enow, and rhymes with
"blow.")

And again, 873:

"My loss of honour's great enough,
Thou needst not brand it with a scoff."

Other examples may be quoted from the same author.

In a song, written upon the Restoration of Charles II., we have the following:

"Were not contented, but grew rough,
As though they had not won enough."
Loyal Arms, vol. i. p. 244.

In the Lamentable Tragedy of Cambises, written early in the reign of Elizabeth, the
word occurs:

"Gogs sides, knaves, seeing to fight ye be so rough,
Defend yourselves, for I will give ye bothe inough."

In Lusty Juventus, a Morality, temp. Edward VI., is the following:

"Call them Papistes, hipocrites, and joyning of the plough;
Face out the matter, and then good ynough."

Here certainly the distinction disappears, as in the next and last example from
Candlemas Day, "Ao. Do. 1512," where Joseph is speaking:

"Take hym in your armys, Mary, I you pray,
And of your swete mylke let him sowke inowe,
Mawger Herowd and his grett fray:
And as your spouse, Mary, I shall go with you."

It would seem therefore, that this word has had its present pronunciation about three
centuries. Its derivation is directly from the Saxon genoh, but the root is found in
many other languages, as the German, Dutch, Danish, &c.
B. H. C.

Mr. Wright supposes there has been a change in the pronunciation of this word, and
inquires when it took place. Now, if my conjecture be correct, there may have been
no change, and these are two words,—not one pronounced differently. Both the
instances quoted by him are in conformity with my opinion, viz. that where the
sense is "a sufficient quantity," either in substance, quality, or action, we should
make use of enough; yet where a sufficient number is intended, we should
pronounce and write enow. I recollect (being a native of Suffolk) that I was laughed
at by the boys of a school in a western county, nearly seventy years ago: but I was
not then laughed out of my word, nor am I likely now to be argued out of it.

P.S.—I see that Johnson's Dictionary gives the same statement about enough and
enow. This answer is therefore superfluous. Johnson gives numerous instances of
the use of enow from our best authors.

PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr. Wilkinson's Mode of levelling Cameras.—As you have done me the honour to
notice my simple invention for levelling cameras, which I have since had an
opportunity of trying in the open air for a week, and find to succeed perfectly, I wish
to correct some errors which appeared in the Photographic Journal, from which you
copied my remarks, and which arose from the notes being taken down from my
verbal observations. The first part is perfectly correct but after l. 9. col. 2. "N. & Q."
(Vol. vii., p. 462.) it should read thus:

"The other perpendicular is then sought for; the back or front of the camera being
raised or lowered until the thread cuts the perpendicular lines drawn upon the sides
of the camera. By this means a perfectly horizontal plane is obtained, as true as with

the best spirit-levels, and in less time. By tying three knots in the silk at twelve
inches distance from the one bullet and from each other, we have a measure for
stereoscopic pictures; and by making the thread thirty-nine inches and two-tenths
long from one bullet to the centre of the other, we obtain a pendulum vibrating
seconds, which is useful in talking portraits; as it will continue vibrating for ten
minutes, if one bullet be merely hung over any point of suspension."

Thus we obtain a levelling instrument, a chronometer, and a measure of distances, at
a cost considerably under one penny.

The above will more fully explain to your correspondent Φ. (Vol. vii., p. 505.) my
reasons for the length of thread stated; and with respect to the diagonal lines on the
ground glass, it is not material what may be the distance of the principal object,
whether six feet or six hundred: for if the cross lines, or any other lines drawn on the
glass, cut the central object in the picture at any particular part—for example, the
window of any particular house, or the branch of any tree,—then the camera may be
removed to higher or lower ground, several feet or inches, to the right or to the left,
and the same lines be made to cut the same objects, previously noted; the elevation
will then be the same, which completes all that is required.

In most stereoscopic pictures, the distances are too wide. For a portrait, two inches
and half to three inches, at nine or twelve feet distant, is enough; and for landscapes
much less is required than is generally given, for no very great accuracy is
necessary. Three feet, at three hundred yards, is quite enough; and four to six feet, at
a mile, will do very well. Let experiment determine: for every photographer must
learn his profession or amusement; there is no royal road to be depended on. But a
small aperture, a quarter of an inch diameter, may be considered a good practical
size for a lens of three and a quarter inches, depending on light and time: the smaller
the aperture, the longer the time; and no rules can be given by any one who does not
know the size and quality of the lenses employed. Every one can make a few trials
for himself, and find it out; which will be more satisfactory than any instructions
derived from books or correspondence. I obtain all the information I can from every
source, then try, and judge for myself. At worst, you only spoil a few sheets of
paper, and gain experience.

I perfectly agree with Dr. Diamond, that it is much better not to wash the collodion
pictures after developing; but pour on about one drachm of sat. sol. hypo. at once,
and then, when clear, plenty of water; and let water rest on the surface for an hour or
more, before setting on edge to dry.
Henry Wilkinson.

Collodion Negative.—Can you inform me how a collodion negative may be made?
that is, how you can ensure the negative being always of a dense enough character
to print from. This is rarely the case.
F. M.

Developing Collodion Process.—I use to develope my collodion pictures M.
Martin's plan, i. e. a solution of common copperas made a little acid with sulphuric
acid. This answers very well and gives to the pictures, after they have been exposed
an hour or two to the atmosphere, a silver-like appearance: but this copperas
solution seems to destroy the glass for using a second time, inasmuch as a haziness
is cast upon the glass, and its former enamel seems lost, not to be regained even by
using acids. The hyposulphite also seems to be affected by this manner of
developing the pictures after a short time, which is not the case with pyrogallic acid.
The hypo., when thus affected with the copperas, appears also to throw a mist over
the picture, which new hypo. does not. I should esteem it a favour if any of your
numerous readers could inform me the cause of this.
A. A. P.

An iodizing Difficulty.—May I request the favour, from some one of your numerous
photographic correspondents, of a solution to the following apparent enigma,
through the medium of "N. & Q."?

Being located in a neighbourhood where there is a scarcity of water in the summer
months, I lately took advantage of a pool in a running stream, which ran at the
bottom of the grounds of a friend, to soak my calotype papers in, subsequent to
having brushed them over with the solution of iodide of silver, according to the
process recommended by Sir W. Newton. One-half of the batch was removed in
about two hours and a half, being beautifully clean, and of a nice light primrose
colour; and in consequence of an unexpected call and detention longer than I had
anticipated, the other half was left floating from two o'clock p.m. until seven or eight
in the evening (nearly six hours), when, much to my chagrin, I found on their
removal that they had all, more or less, become browned, or, rather, had taken on a
dirty, deep, nankeen colour, those that had been first floated being decidedly the
worst. I had previously thought that the papers must be left at least two and a half to
three hours, a longer period having no other effect than that of softening the papers,
or, at most, of allowing some slight portion of the iodide to fall off from their
surface, whereas, from the above-described discoloration, an evident decomposition
must have commenced, which I am quite at a loss to account for; neither can I
conjecture what the chemical change can have been. I have several times before
prepared good papers in trays filled with water from the same stream, but from the
quantity running in the brook in the spring months, I never before have had the
chance of floating them in the stream itself.

An explanation of the above difficulty from some obliging and better-informed
photographist would be very thankfully received by
Henry H. Hele.
Ashburton, Devon.

P.S.—The pool of water was well shaded, consequently not a ray of bright sunlight
could possibly impinge on the papers while floating.

I have always understood that pure iodide of silver was quite insensible to the action
of light, or to any other chemical change, as far as the action of atmospheric air was
concerned.

Replies to Minor Queries.
Bishop Frampton (Vol. iii., p 261.).—For some account of this excellent man, see
chapter xxxi. of Mr. Anderdon's Life of Bishop Ken, where are given some very
interesting letters, that are printed from the MSS. in the possession of Dr. Williams,
Warden of New College, Oxford. Frampton appears to have been at one time
chaplain to the British Factory at Aleppo. Mandeville, in the Dedication prefixed to
his Journey from Aleppo to Jerusalem, makes honourable mention of him, and
attributes the highly creditable character of the society to the influence of that
incomparable instructor. When the funeral procession of Christian, Countess of
Devonshire, halted at Leicester, on the way to Derby, a sermon was preached on the
occasion by Frampton, who was then chaplain to the Earl of Elgin, the Countess's
near relative. In sending these scraps, allow me to express the hope that Mr. Evans
has not laid aside his intention of favouring us with a Life of Frampton.
E. H. A.
[We cordially join in the wish expressed by our correspondent, that the Vicar of
Shoreditch will before long favour us with the publication of the manuscript life of this
amiable prelate, written, we believe, by his chaplain. It appears to us doubtful whether the
bishop ever published any of his sermons, from what he states in a letter given in the
Appendix to The Life of John Kettlewell. "I have often," he says, "been in the pulpit, in
season and out of season, and also bold and honest enough there, God be praised; but
never in the printing-house yet; and believe I never shall be." The longest printed account
of this deprived bishop is given in Rudder's History and Antiquities of Gloucester; and no
doubt many particulars respecting him and other Nonjurors may be found in the
Rawlinson MSS. in the Bodleian Library.]

Parochial Libraries (Vol. vi., p. 432; Vol. vii. passim).—At Dunblane the collection
of books bequeathed by the amiable Leighton is still preserved. At All Saints,
Newcastle-on-Tyne, I once saw, among some old books in the vestry, a small quarto
volume of tracts, including Archbishop Laud's speech in the Star Chamber, at the
censure of Bastwick, Burton, and Prynne. It had been presented by the Rev. E.
Moise, M. A., many years lecturer of that church.

The old library at St. Nicholas, Newcastle-on-Tyne, contains many curious books
and MSS., particularly the old Bible belonging to Hexham Abbey. This library was
greatly augmented by the munificent bequest of the Rev. Dr. Thomlinson, rector of
Whickham, prebendary of St. Paul's, and lecturer of St. Nicholas, who died at an
advanced age, in 1748, leaving all his books to this church. In 1825 Archdeacon
Bowyer presented a series of lending libraries—ninety-three in all—to the several
parishes in the county of Northumberland. They are in the custody of the incumbent

for the time being. Lastly, there is a very valuable library at Bamburgh Castle, the
bequest of Dr. Sharp: the books are allowed to circulate gratuitously amongst the
clergy and respectable inhabitants of the adjoining neighbourhood.
E. H. A.

The Honourable Mrs. Dudleya North died in 1712. Her choice collection of books
in oriental learning were "by her only surviving brother, the then Lord North and
Grey, given to the parochial library at Rougham, in Norfolk, founded by the Hon.
Roger North, Esq., for the use of the minister of that parish, and, under certain
regulations and restrictions, of the neighbouring clergy also, for ever. Amongst these
there is, in particular, one very neat pocket Hebrew Bible in 12mo., without points,
with silver clasps to it, and bound in blue Turkey leather, in a case of the same
materials, which she constantly carried to church with her.... In the first leaf of all
the books that had been hers, when they were deposited in that library," was a Latin
inscription, setting forth the names of the late owner, and of the donor of these
books. (Ballard's Memoirs of British Ladies. 8vo. 1775, p. 286.)

died 1st July, 1653, is described on a brass plate to his memory, in the church at
Wadworth, as "generosus." He was owner of the rectory and other property there. It
appears from the register that he married, 18th April, 1609, Margaret, daughter and
coheir of Michael Cocksonn, Gent., of Wadworth and Crookhill, and by her (who
was buried 22nd July, 1620) he had

Mary (ultimately only daughter and heir), baptized at Wadworth, 27th July, 1612;
married John Battie, of Wadworth, Gent., and had issue,

Passage in Orosius (Vol. vii., pp. 399. 536.).—I cannot exactly subscribe to the
three propositions of Mr. E. Thomson, which he deduces from his observations on
"twam tyncenum" in Alfred's Orosius. In the first place, the sentence in which the
word tyncenum occurs is perfectly gratuitous on the part of Alfred, or whoever
paraphrased Orosius in Anglo-Saxon. No such assertion appears in Orosius, so that
we have no means of comparing it with the original.

The occurrence, as recounted by both Orosius and Herodotus, is attributed to a
horse (a sacred horse, Herod.), not to a horseman, knight, or thane. What is meant
by the Anglo-Saxon text is, certainly, anything but clear, as it stands in Barrington's
edition; and he himself confesses this, and does not admit it into his English
translation.

Dr. Bosworth seems to have wisely omitted the word in the second edition of his
dictionary; and Thorpe confesses he can make nothing of it, in his Analecta. We find
no such word in Cædmon, Beowulf, or the Saxon Chronicle; and the only reference
made by Dr. Bosworth, in his first edition, is to this very place in Alfred's Orosius,
in which he seems to have followed Lye.

May it not have been an error in the earlier transcribers of the MS., and the real
word have been twentigum, i. e. he ordered his thane to pass over the river with
twenty men, since the thane, by himself, could have been but of little use on the
other side the river? However this may be, the fact is not historical at all, and
therefore, as respects history, is of little consequence.

Pugna Porcorum (Vol. vii., p. 528.).—The author of this poem, as is generally
believed (though its production has also been assigned to Gilbertus Cognatus or
Cousin), was Joannes Leo Placentius, or Placentinus, of whom the following
account is given in the Biographie Universelle:

"Jean-Leo Placentius ou Le Plaisant, n'est connu que comme l'auteur d'un petit
poème tautogramme, genre de composition qui ne peut offrir que le frivole
mérite de la difficulté vaincue. Né à Saint Trond, au pays de Liège, il fit ses

études à Bois-le-Duc, dans l'école des Hiéronomytes; embrassa la vie
religieuse, au commencement du seizième siècle, dans l'ordre des Dominicains,
et fut envoyé à Louvain pour y faire son cours de théologie. Les autres
circonstances de sa vie sont ignorées; et ce n'est que par conjecture qu'on place
sa mort à l'année 1548. On peut consulter sur cet écrivain, la Bibl. Belgica de
Foppens, et les Scriptores ordin. Prædicator. des PP. Quétif et Echard."
Ἀλιέυς.
Dublin.

This production appears to have been merely designed as a display of the writer's
skill. Dr. Brown notices it in his Philosophy of the Mind, lect. 36; and Ebert:
"Porcius, Pugna Porcorum, per P. Porcium, Poetam (J. Leonem), without place,
1530, 8vo., 8 leaves. Printed in Italics, and probably at Cologne or in Holland." He
enumerates several other editions, the last of which is that of Walch, 1786.

Oaken Tombs and Effigies (Vol. vii., p. 528.).—These are rare. Three of the latter
exist at Little Horkesley, Essex. Two are figures of cross-legged knights in chain
armour and surcoats: one is a female figure wimpled. They are supposed by
Suckling to represent members of the Horkesley family, who held that manor from
1210 to 1322.

Another instance is the effigy of a cross-legged knight in chain mail at Danbury in
the same county. An account of these will be found in vol. iii. of Weale's
Architectural Papers.

At Ashwell, Rutland, is an effigy in wood of a cross-legged knight, also in chain
mail, if I remember rightly. It is not quite evident, from the description in Weale's
book, whether there are three effigies at Danbury or only one. Of the same material
is the figure of Isabella of Angoulême at Fontevrault. A catalogue of these wooden
effigies would be interesting.
Cheverells.

Bowyer Bible (Vol. vii., passim).—Relative to the history and various possessors of
this curious Bible, I find the following notice in The Times, Oct. 14, 1840:

"There is at present, in the possession of Mrs. Parker of Golden Square, a copy
of Macklin's Bible in forty-five large volumes, illustrated with nearly 7000
engravings from the age of Michael Angelo to that of Reynolds and West. The
work also contains about 200 original drawings or vignettes by Loutherbourg.

"The prints and etchings include the works of Raffaelle, Marc Antonio, Albert
Durer, Callot, Rembrandt, and other masters, consisting of representations of
nearly every fact, circumstance, and object mentioned in the Holy Scriptures.
There are, moreover, designs of trees, plants, flowers, quadrupeds, birds,
fishes, and insects; such as, besides fossils, have been adduced in proof of the
universal Deluge. The most authentic Scripture atlasses are bound up with the
volumes. The Bible was the property of the late Mr. Bowyer the publisher, who
collected and arranged the engravings, etchings, and drawings at great expense
and labour; and he is said to have been engaged for upwards of thirty years in
rendering it perfect. It was insured at the Albion Insurance Office for 3000l."

In the British Museum are several large works, particularly British topography,
illustrated in a similar manner, and which thus contain materials of the rarest and
most valuable description. Of these I would only at present mention Salmon's
Hertfordshire illustrated by Baskerville, and Lysons's Environs, in the King's
Library. A long list of such valuable works might be furnished from the Museum
catalogues.

One of the most laborious collectors of curious prints of every kind was John
Bagford, whose voluminous collections are amongst the Harleian MSS. in many
folio volumes, in which will be found illustrations of topography to be met with
nowhere else.

Longevity (Vol. vii., pp. 358. 504.).—Our friend A. J. is certainly not one of the
"remnant of true believers." By way of aiding in the crusade to convert him to the
faith, I hereunder quote a couple of instances, "within the age of registers," which I
trust will in some degree satisfy his pagan incredulity. The parish registers of the
township of Church Minshull, in Cheshire, begin in 1561, and in the portion for the
year 1649 appears the following:

"Thomas Damme, of Leighton, buried the 26th of February, being of the age of
seven score and fourteen."

This entry was made under the "Puritan dispensation," when the parish scribe was at
any rate supposed to be an "oracle of truth." Here, however, is another instance,
culled from the Register of Burials for the parish of Frodsham, also in Cheshire:

"1512/3. Feb. 12. Thomas Hough, cujus ætas cxli."

And again, on the very next day after—

"—— Feb. 13. Randle Wall, ætas 104."

I have met with other instances, but those now enumerated will probably
suffice for my present purpose.

John Locke, baptized 17th December, 1716, in the parish of Coney Weston,
was buried in Larling parish, county of Norfolk, 21st July, 1823. He is
registered as 110 years of age. He and his family always said that he was
three years old when he was baptized. I saw and conversed with him in Jan.
1823.

Lady Anne Gray (Vol. vii., p. 501.).—Referring to Sir John Harington's
poem, I do not find that the Christian name of the Lady Gray is set down at
all; the words of the stanza are,—

"First doth she give to Grey,
The falcon's curtesse kind."

I find in the pedigrees, British Museum, a "Lady Anne Grey" (daughter to
John Lord Grey of Pirgo, brother to Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk) married
to "Henry Denny of Waltham," father to the Earl of Norwich of that name.
She was his first wife, and dying without issue, he married again "Lady
Honora Grey, daughter of Lord Grey de Wilton;" but I scarce think this
Lady Anne Grey could have been the maid of honour to the princess. The
number of Greys of different stocks and branches at that period, are beyond
counting or distinguishing from each other, and yet the fall of a queen's
maid of honour should be easily traceable. Isabella Markham, one of the six
ladies, married Sir John Harington himself.

On referring to Lodge's Illustrations, I find the Lord John Grey one of those
noblemen appointed to attend Queen Elizabeth on her entrée from Hatfield
to London on her accession, so that his daughter may well have been one of
her maids of honour; yet from comparison of dates I think she can scarce
have been the wife of Henry Denny.

Sir John Fleming (Vol. vii., p. 356.).—If Caret can obtain access to the
pedigree of the Flemings of Rydal Hall, Westmoreland, I anticipate he will
find that this Sir John was the third son of Sir Michael le Fleming, who
came over at the instance of Baldwin, Earl of Flanders, to assist King
William in his conquest of England. I may add that the Rydal family,
honoured with a baronetcy, Oct. 4, 1704, bear for their arms—"Gules, a fret
argent."

Life (Vol. vii., p. 429.).—Campbell, in his lines entitled A Dream, writes:

"Hast thou felt, poor self-deceiver!
Life's career so void of pain,
As to wish its fitful fever
New begun again?"

Though everybody knows the line—

"After life's fitful fever he sleeps well"—

I think Campbell might have acknowledged his adoption of the words by
marking them, and might have improved his own lines (with all deference
be it said) if he had written—

"Hast thou felt, poor self-deceiver!
Thy career so void of pain,
As to wish 'life's fitful fever'
New begun again?"

F. James.

"I would not live my days over again if I could command them by a
wish, for the snares of life are greater than the fears of death." (Penn's
father, the Admiral.)

Penn himself said, that if he had to live his life over again, he could serve
God, his neighbour, and himself better than he had done. Considering the
history of the father and son's respective lives (and of those I before alluded
to), though the latter's remarks may appear presumptuous, which showed
the most wisdom is an open question. Does not H. C. K.'s professional
experience enable him to give a more certain opinion of ordinary men's
feelings than is expressed in "I fear not?"

Family of Kelway (Vol. vii., p. 529.).—In reply to the Query as to this
family in "N. & Q." of May 28, I beg to mention that in MS. F. 9. in the
Heraldic MSS. in Queen's College library, Oxford, is a pedigree of the
family of Kelway of Shereborne, co. Dorset, and White Parish, Wilts.

The arms are beautifully tricked. There is a bordure engrailed to the Kelway
coat. With it are these quarterings: 2, a leopard's face g. entre five birds
close s., three in chief, two in base. 3, az. a camel statant arg. Crest, on a

Sir G. Browne, Bart. (Vol. vii., p. 528.).—The particulars given by
Newbury, while introducing his Query, are extremely vague and inaccurate.
In the first place, the individual he styles Sir George Browne, Bart., was in
reality simple George Browne, Esq., of Caversham, Oxon, and Wickham,
Kent. This gentleman, who would have been a valuable acquisition to any
nascent colony, married Elizabeth (not Eleanor), second daughter of Sir
Richard Blount, of Maple Durham, and had by her nineteen children, pretty
evenly divided as to sex: for I read that of the daughters, three at least died
young; other three became nuns and one married —— Yates, Esq., a
Berkshire gentleman. Of the sons, three, as Newbury relates, fell gloriously
fighting for Charles, their sovereign. Neither of these latter were married:
indeed, the only sons who ventured at all into the bonds of wedlock were

George, the heir, and John, a younger brother. George married Mary
Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Francis Englefield, Knt., a Popish recusant, and
left two daughters, his co-heiresses. John, his brother, created a baronet
May 19th, 1665, married Mrs. Bradley, a widow, and had issue three sons
and three daughters. The sons, Anthony, John, and George, inherited the
baronetcy in succession, the two former dying bachelors: the third son, Sir
George, married his sister-in-law, Gertrude Morley, and left three sons, the
first of whom, Sir John, succeeded his father; and with him the baronetcy
became dormant, if not indeed extinct.

Sir Gilbert Gerard (Vol. v., pp. 511. 571.; Vol. vi., p. 441.).—Sir Gilbert
Gerard, Master of the Rolls temp. Queen Elizabeth, died on the 4th of
February, and was interred on the 6th of March, 1592 (Old Style), in Ashley
Church, in Staffordshire. The style most probably led Dugdale into the error
noticed by your learned correspondent Mr. Foss, in his last communication
to "N. & Q.," relative to the probate of Sir Gilbert Gerard's will. I beg to
forward you an extract taken from the Parish Register of Ashley, which, it
will be seen, not only records the burial, but likewise, rather unusually, the
precise day of his death, a little more than a month intervening between the
two events, which possibly might be accounted for. On a careful
examination of Sir Gilbert's tomb, I did not find (which agrees with
Dugdale) any epitaph thereon,—a somewhat remarkable circumstance,
inasmuch as Sir Thomas Gerard (Sir Gilbert Gerard's eldest son and heir,
who was created Baron Gerard, of Gerard's Bromley, where his father had
built a splendid mansion, a view of which is in Plot's History of
Staffordshire, page 103., not a vestige of which beyond the gateway is now
standing) is said by the Staffordshire historians to have erected a monument
to the memory of his father at great expense; a drawing of which is given by
Garner in his Natural History of Staffordshire, p. 120., with a copious
description of the tomb.

Tombstone in Churchyard.—Arms: Battle-axe (Vol. vii., pp. 331. 390. 407.
560.).—It appears that I may conclude that 1600 is the oldest legible date
on a tombstone inscription. That of 1601 is cut in relief round the edge of a
long free-stone slab, raised on a course of two or three bricks, and is in
Henllan, near Denbigh.

The battle-axes (three in fesse) are on the wall over it. I am obliged to
J. D. S.; but in both my cases the arms appear as connected with Welsh
families; but it is the above that I want to identify.
A. C.

A correspondent asks for instances of dates on tombstones earlier than
1601. I know of one, at Moore Church in the county of Meath, within five
miles of Drogheda. It is as early as 1597; the letters, instead of being sunk,
are in relief. I subjoin a copy of the inscription:

"here vnder lieth the
body of dame ienet
sarsfeld, lady dowager
of donsany, who died the
xxii of febrvary, an. dni.
1597."

Thomas Gage (Vol. vi., p. 291.).—Thomas Gage (formerly a Dominican
friar, and author of the English American, 1648—as I saw the work entitled
—subsequently a Puritan preacher), is, I imagine, identical with Thomas
Gage, minister of the Gospel at Deal in Kent, whom your correspondent

A. B. R. inquires about, p. 291. If so, he became chaplain to Lord Fairfax,
and, according to Macaulay, was not unlikely to have married some
dependent connexion of that family.
E. C. G.

Marriage in High Life (Vol. vi., p. 359.).—I have often heard a similar
story, from an old relation of mine with whom I lived when a girl; and she
had heard it from her father,—which would carry the time of its occurrence
back to the date 1740, named by your correspondent. My informant's father
knew the parties, and I have repeatedly heard the name of the bridegroom;
but whether Wilbraham or Swetenham, I do not now remember. Both
Wilbrahams and Swetenhams are old Cheshire families, and have
intermarried. I am almost certain a Wilbraham was the hero of the story. I
have had the house pointed out to me where he lived, and it was not above a
couple of hours' drive from Chester, whither we were going in the old-
fashioned way of carriage-conveyance. I am sure he was not a peer, though,
if a Wilbraham, he might be related to the late (first) Lord Skelmersdale.

There is one other little circumstance, which the reference to those former
times has reminded me of,—the pronunciation of the word obliged (as in
the Prologue to the Satires, where Pope says:

"By flatterers besieged,
And so obliging that he ne'er obliged),

which the old lady that I have referred to, maintained was the proper
pronunciation for obleege, to confer a favour; whereas the harsher sound, to
oblige, was discriminatively reserved for the equivalent, to compel. She was
a well-educated woman, and had associated with the good society of
London in her youth; and she always complained of the want of taste and
judgment shown by the younger generation, in pronouncing the same word,
with two distinct meanings, alike in both cases.
E. C. G.

Eulenspiegel (Vol. vii., p. 557.).—The German verses under Mr. Campkin's
portrait of Eulenspiegel, rendered into English prose, mean:

"Look here at Eulenspiegel: his portrait makes thee laugh.

What wouldst thou do, if thou couldst see the jester himself?
But Till is a picture and mirror of this world.
He left many a brother behind. We are great fools
In thinking that we are the greatest sages:
Therefore laugh at thyself, as this sheet represents thyself."

From the orthography, I do not think that the lines are much anterior to the
beginning of the eighteenth century. The names of the artist will be the
safest guides for discovering the date of the print.
α.

"Wanderings of Memory" (Vol. vii., p. 527.).—The author of Wanderings of
Memory, published by subscription at Lincoln in 1815, 12mo. pp. 151., was
a young man "in his apprenticeship," of the name of A. G. Jewitt. He
dedicates the book to his father, Mr. Arthur Jewitt, Kimberworth School,
Yorkshire. Nearly the whole of the embellishments were engraved by a
younger brother of the author, "who at the time had not attained his
sixteenth year, and who had not the opportunity of profiting by any regular
instructions."

There are some good lines in the poem, but not enough to rescue it from
that fate which poetical mediocrity is irreversibly doomed to.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

The reputation which Mr. Finlay has acquired by his History of Greece, and
his Greece under the Romans, will unquestionably be increased by his
newly published History of the Byzantine Empire from dccxvi. to mlvii. The
subject is one of great interest to the scholar; and the manner in which Mr.
Finlay has traced the progress of the eastern Roman empire through an
eventful period of three centuries and a half, and while doing so enriched
his pages with constant reference to the original historians, has certainly
enabled him to accomplish the object which he has avowedly had in view,
namely, that of making his work serve not only as a popular history, but also
as an index for scholars who may be more familiar with classic literature
than with the Byzantine writers.

We understand that Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with that appreciation of
the beautiful and the useful for which they are distinguished, have shown
their opinion of the value of photography by becoming the Patrons of the
Photographic Society.

The Camden Society is about to put to press a work which will be of great
value to our topographical writers, as well as to historians generally,
namely, The Extent of the Estates of the Hospitalers in England, taken
under the direction of Prior Philip de Thame, a.d. 1338. The original MS. is
at Malta; and though the transcript of it was made by a most competent
hand, we have reason to believe that our correspondent at La Valetta
(W. W.) would be doing good service both to the Society and to the world
of letters, and one which would be most acceptable to the Transcriber, if he
could find it convenient to revise the proof sheets with the original
document.

Books Received.—Cyclopædia Bibliographica, a Library Manual of

Traveller's Library (in two parts) an interesting and cleverly written account
of our Coal Mines, and those who live in them, which gives a graphic
picture of the places and persons to whom we are all for so many months
indebted for our greatest comfort.—Mr. Bohn continues his good work of
supplying excellent books at moderate prices. We are this month indebted to
him for publishing in his Scientific Library the third volume of Miss Ross'
excellent translation of Humboldt's Personal Narrative of his Travels to the
Equinoctial Regions of America, which is enriched with a very copious
index. In his Classical Library he has given us Translations of Terence and
Phædrus; and in his Antiquarian Library, the second volume of what, in
spite of the laches pointed out by one of our correspondents, we must
pronounce a most useful work for the mere English reader, the second
volume of Mr. Riley's translation of Roger de Hoveden's Annals of English
History, which completes the work. Probably, however, the volume which
Mr. Bohn has just published in his Standard Library is the one which will
excite most interest. It is issued as a continuation of Coxe's History of the
House of Austria, and consists (for the most part) of a translation of Count
Hartig's Genesis of the Revolution in Austria.

Licentiate of the Apothecaries' Company, London, his theory as a
Mathematician, and his practice as a Working Optician, aided by Smee's
Optometer, in the selection of spectacles suitable to every derangement of
vision, so as to preserve the sight to extreme old age.

ACHROMATIC TELESCOPES, with the New Vetzlar Eye-pieces, as
exhibited at the Academy of Sciences in Paris. The Lenses of these Eye-
pieces are so constructed that the rays of light fall nearly perpendicular to
the surface of the various lenses, by which the aberration is completely
removed; and a telescope so fitted gives one-third more magnifying power
and light than could be obtained by the old Eye-pieces. Prices of the various
sizes on application to

SOME ACCOUNT of DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE in ENGLAND,
from the Conquest to the end of the Thirteenth Century, with numerous
Illustrations of Existing Remains from Original Drawings. By T. HUDSON
TURNER.

"What Horace Walpole attempted, and what Sir Charles Lock Eastlake has
done for oil-painting—elucidated its history and traced its progress in

England by means of the records of expenses and mandates of the
successive Sovereigns of the realm—Mr. Hudson Turner has now achieved
for Domestic Architecture in this country during the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries."—Architect.

"The writer of the present volume ranks among the most intelligent of the
craft, and a careful perusal of its contents will convince the reader of the
enormous amount of labour bestowed on its minutest details, as well as the
discriminating judgment presiding over the general arrangement."—
Morning Chronicle.

"The book of which the title is given above is one of the very few attempts
that have been made in this country to treat this interesting subject in
anything more than a superficial manner.

"Mr. Turner exhibits much learning and research, and he has consequently
laid before the reader much interesting information. It is a book that was
wanted, and that affords us some relief from the mass of works on
Ecclesiastical Architecture with which of late years we have been deluged.

"The work is well illustrated throughout with wood-engravings of the more
interesting remains, and will prove a valuable addition to the antiquary's
library."—Literary Gazette.

"It is as a text-book on the social comforts and condition of the Squires and
Gentry of England during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, that the
leading value of Mr. Turner's present publication will be found to consist.

"Turner's handsomely-printed volume is profusely illustrated with careful
woodcuts of all important existing remains, made from drawings by Mr.
Blore and Mr. Twopeny."—Athenæum.

law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works,
so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United
States without permission and without paying copyright royalties.

apply to copying and distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic

use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative

ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks not protected by U.S.
copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license,

Foundation” or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the

collection of Project Gutenberg electronic works. Nearly all the
individual works in the collection are in the public domain in the
United States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in
the United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope

what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
other Project Gutenberg work. The Foundation makes no
representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
country other than the United States.

1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:

1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
access to, the full Project Gutenberg License must appear prominently
whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg work (any work on which
the phrase “Project Gutenberg” appears, or with which the phrase
“Project Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed,
viewed, copied or distributed:

This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States
and most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
under the terms of the Project Gutenberg™ License included with

in the United States, you will have to check the laws of the
country where you are located before using this eBook.

1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg electronic work is derived
from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not contain a
notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the copyright
holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in the United
States without paying any fees or charges. If you are redistributing or
providing access to a work with the phrase “Project Gutenberg”
associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply either with
the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or obtain
permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg
trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg electronic work is posted
with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution

License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg.

compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including
any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide
access to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg work in a format
other than “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other format used in the official

version posted on the official Project Gutenberg website
(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of
obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original “Plain
Vanilla ASCII” or other form. Any alternate format must include the
full Project Gutenberg License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg works
unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
access to or distributing Project Gutenberg electronic works provided
that:

• You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from the
use of Project Gutenberg works calculated using the method you
already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed to the
owner of the Project Gutenberg trademark, but he has agreed to donate
royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days
following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to
prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly
marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information about
donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.”

• You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he does
not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™ License. You
must require such a user to return or destroy all copies of the works
possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and all
access to other copies of Project Gutenberg™ works.

• You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
receipt of the work.

• You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free distribution
of Project Gutenberg™ works.

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg™
electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set forth
in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of the
Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in
Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend
considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and
proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the
Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be
stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete,
inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES -
Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in
paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation,
the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party
distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this
agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and
expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO
REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH
OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE
FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY
DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES

EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you
discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it,
you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by
sending a written explanation to the person you received the work
from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return
the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that
provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a
replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu
of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a
refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in
paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If
any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law
of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the
Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the
Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™
electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any
volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution
of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability,
costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly
from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a)

distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg work, (b) alteration,
modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg work,
and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project
Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals
and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely
available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and
permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To
learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and
the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state
of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue
Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is
64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S.
federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 41 Watchung Plaza
#516, Montclair NJ 07042, USA, +1 (862) 621-9288. Email contact

links and up to date contact information can be found at the
Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

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.
