Important Sale by Auction of the whole of the remaining Copies of
that splendid National Work, known as "FINDEN'S ROYAL
GALLERY OF BRITISH ART," the engraved Plates of which will be
destroyed during the Progress of the Sale, and in the presence of the
Purchasers.

SOUTHGATE & BARRETT have received instructions from MR.
HOGARTH, of the Haymarket, to Sell by Public Auction at their Fine Art
and Book Auction Rooms, 22. Fleet Street, London, on Wednesday
Evening, June 7th, and following Evenings,

THE WHOLE OF THE REMAINING COPIES

Of the very Celebrated Work, known as

FINDEN'S ROYAL GALLERY OF BRITISH
ART,
Consisting of a limited number of Artists' and other choice proofs, and the
print impressions, which are all in an exceedingly fine state. The work
consists of 48 plates, the whole of which are engraved in line by the most
eminent men in that branch of art, and the pictures selected will at once
show that the great artists—Turner, Eastlake, Landseer, Stanfield, Webster,
Roberts, Wilkie, Maclise, Mulready, and more than thirty other British
Masters, are represented by the works which established and upheld them in
public favour, and by themes which appeal to universal sympathy and
happiest affections, or which delineate the peculiar glories of our country,
and commemorate its worthiest and most honourable achievements.

The attention of the public is also particularly directed to the fact that ALL
THE ENGRAVED PLATES from which the impressions now offered have
been taken, WILL BE DESTROYED IN THE PRESENCE OF THE
PURCHASERS, at the time of Sale. By thus securing the market from
being supplied with inferior impressions at a future time, and at a cheaper
rate, the value of the existing stock will be increased, and it will become the
interest of all who wish to possess copies of these eminent works of art, at a
reduced price, to purchase them at this Sale, which will be THE ONLY
OPPORTUNITY of obtaining them.

Under these circumstances, therefore, SOUTHGATE & BARRETT
presume to demand for this Sale the attention of all lovers of art—the
amateur, the artist, and the public;—believing that no opportunity has ever
offered so happily calculated to promote taste and to extend knowledge,
while ministering to the purest and best enjoyments which the artist
conveys to the hearts and homes of all who covet intellectual pleasures.

Framed Copies of the work can be seen at MR. HOGARTH'S, 5.
Haymarket; MESSRS. LLOYD, BROTHERS, & CO., 22. Ludgate Hill;

and at the AUCTIONEERS, 22. Fleet Street, by whom all Communications
and Commissions will be promptly and faithfully attended to.

DR. DE JONGH'S LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL. Prepared for
medicinal use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway, and put to the test of chemical
analysis. The most effectual remedy for Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Gout, Chronic Rheumatism, and all Scrofulous Diseases.

Approved of and recommended by Berzelius, Liebig, Woehler, Jonathan
Pereira, Fouquier, and numerous other eminent medical men and scientific
chemists in Europe. Specially rewarded with medals by the Governments of
Belgium and the Netherlands. Has almost entirely superseded all other
kinds on the Continent, in consequence of its proved superior power and
efficacy—effecting a cure much more rapidly. Contains iodine, phosphate
of chalk, volatile acid, and the elements of the bile—in short, all its most
active and essential principles—in larger quantities than the pale oils made
in England and Newfoundland, deprived mainly of these by their mode of
preparation. A pamphlet by Dr. de Jongh, with detailed remarks upon its
superiority, directions for use, cases in which it has been prescribed with the
greatest success, and testimonials, forwarded gratis on application.

The subjoined testimonial of BARON LIEBIG, Professor of Chemistry at
the University of Giessen, is selected from innumerable others from
medical and scientific men of the highest distinction:

"Sir,—I have the honour of addressing you my warmest thanks for
your attention in forwarding me your work on the chemical
composition and properties, as well as on the medicinal effects, of
various kinds of Cod Liver Oil.

"You have rendered an essential service to science by your researches,
and your efforts to provide sufferers with this Medicine in its purest
and most genuine state, must ensure you the gratitude of every one
who stands in need of its use.

"I have the honour of remaining, with expressions of the highest regard
and esteem,

"Yours sincerely
"DR. JUSTUS LIEBIG."
"Giessen, Oct. 30. 1847.
"To Dr. de Jongh at the Hague."

and Signature, by ANSAR, HARFORD, & CO., 77. Strand, Sole

Notes.
ST. AUGUSTINE ON CLAIRVOYANCE.

Dr. Maitland, in his valuable Illustrations of Mesmerism, has not, I think,
noticed an important passage in St. Augustine's treatise, De Genesi ad
litteram, l. XII. c. 17. §§ 34. seq., in which, after saying that demons can
read men's thoughts, and know what is passing at a distance, he proceeds to
give a detailed account of two cases of clairvoyance. The whole is written
with his usual graphic power, and will well reward the perusal. I must
content myself with a brief outline of the facts.

1. A patient, suffering from a fever, was supposed to be possessed by an
unclean spirit. Twelve miles off lived a presbyter, with whom, in mesmerist
phraseology, he was en rapport. He would receive no food from any other
hands; with him, except when a fit was upon him, he was calm and
submissive. When the presbyter left his home the patient would indicate his
position at each stage of his journey, and mark his nearer and nearer
approach. "He is entering the farm—the house—he is at the door;" and his
visitor stood before him. Once he foretold the death of a neighbour, not as
though he were predicting a future event, but as if recollecting a past. For
when she was mentioned in his hearing, he exclaimed, "She is dead, I saw
her funeral; that way they carried out her corpse." In a few days she fell sick
and died, and was carried out along that very road which he had named.

2. A boy was labouring under a painful disorder, which the physicians had
vainly endeavoured to relieve. In the exhaustion which followed on his
convulsive struggles, he would pass into a trance, keeping his eyes open,
but insensible to what was going on around him, and passively submitting
to pinches from the bystanders (ad nullam se vellicationem movens). After
awhile he awoke and told what he had seen. Generally an old man and a
youth appeared to him; at the beginning of Lent they promised him ease
during the forty days, and gave him directions by which he might be

relieved and finally cured. He followed their counsel, with the promised
success.

Augustine's remarks (c. xviii. § 39.) on these and similar phenomena are
well worth reading. He begs the learned not to mock him as speaking
confidently, and the unlearned not to take what he says on trust, but hopes
that both will regard him simply as an inquirer. He compares these visions
to those in dreams. Some come true, and some false; some are clear, others
obscure. But men love to search into what is singular, neglecting what is
usual, though even more inexplicable; just as when a man hears a word
whose sound is new to him, he is curious to know its meaning; while he
never thinks of asking the meaning of words familiar to his ear, however
little he may really understand them. If any one then wishes for a
satisfactory account of these strange phenomena, let him first explain the
phenomena of dreams, or let him show how the images of material objects
reach the mind through the eyes.

St. John's College, Cambridge.

EDWARD GIBBON, FATHER AND SON.

Gibbon mentions in his Memoirs (edit. 1796, p. 18.), that in 1741 his father
and Mr. Delmé successfully contested Southampton against Mr. Henly,
subsequently Lord Chancellor, but that, after the dissolution in 1747, he was
unable or unwilling to maintain another contest, and "the life of the senator
expired in that dissolution." Not so the hopes of the senator, as will appear
from the following extract from a letter, dated "Beriton, January 27, 1754:"

"I received the favour of your letter according to the time you
promised. As Lord M—— has promised his own votes, I find there is
nothing to be done: strange behaviour, sure! But there seems to be
such infatuation upon this poor country, that even a good Catholic
shall join with a Dissenter to rivet on her chains. There are several of
the Independents would have me stand it out, but I would not on any
account, for I find it would make great dissensions, and even several of
Lord M——'s fagots and tenants would vote against him; and another

thing, it would lessen him in the opinion of a great many people to
have him making interest for the two present worthy candidates
against me. I shall therefore, upon his account, give over all thoughts
of standing; and I hope it may give me some little more credit and
merit with him against another election, especially if you would be so
good as to improve it for me."

The following is of far greater interest—full of character. How well it
illustrates the paragraph in the Memoirs (pp. 82-3.):

"My stay at Beriton was always voluntary ... I never handled a gun, I
seldom mounted a horse; and my philosophic walks were soon
terminated by a shady bench, where I was long detained by the
sedentary amusement of reading or meditation."

It appears however, by this letter, that on one occasion he trespassed on
some neighbour's game preserves, and received a hint on the subject:
Beriton, Nov. 16, 1758.

Sir,

As I am extremely well convinced of your politeness, and your
readiness to grant your neighbours any reasonable liberty with regard
to country sports, so I should be very sorry if either myself or my
servants had taken any improper ones.

I am no sportsman, Sir, and was as much tempted this morning by the
beauty of the day and the pleasure of the ride as by the hopes of any
sport. I went out, and, neither acquainted with the bounds of the
manors nor your request to the neighbouring gentlemen, could only
follow my groom where he led me. I quitted your manor the instant I
received your message, without having killed anything in it. I assure
you that you shall never have again the same subject of complaint.
With regard to the liberty you are so good as to grant me for other
sports, I return you my most humble thanks, but shall not make much
use of it, as there are still in my father's manor more game than would
satisfy so moderate a sportsman as myself.

My father would be extremely angry if his servants had destroyed any
of your game; but they all assure him they have killed no one hare
upon your liberties. As to pheasants, they have only killed one this
season, and that in Inwood copse.

I am,
Sir,
Your obedient humble servant,
E. Gibbon, Junior.

BOHN'S "ORDERICUS VITALIS."

In looking through the pages of Ordericus Vitalis, vol. ii. (Bohn's edition), I
have noticed some trifling inaccuracies, to one or more of which you will
perhaps suffer me to call the editor's attention through the medium of "N. &
Q.," in case he be not already aware of them.

At p. 70. King William is described as offering the bishopric of Mans to
"Samson, Bishop of Bayeux, his chaplain." So in the index to Histor.
Anglic. circa tempus Conquestûs, &c., a Francisco Maseres, I find this
passage of Vitalis referred to under the title of "Sanson Baiocensis
episcopus."

But yet Odo was Bishop of Bayeux at this time; and notwithstanding what
Marbode afterwards said of Bayeux, when he invited his old pupil to meet
him there, viz. "Sedes præsulibus sufficit illa tribus," yet Samson, even
then, was not Bishop of Bayeux, but of Worcester.

The original words of Vitalis are, "Sansoni Baiocensi," Samson being
(temp. Will. I.) Canon and Treasurer of Bayeux, as well as Baron of Dover,
and Canon of St. Martin's there, Dean of Wolverhampton, and chaplain to
William. He was a married man, and apparently at the time in question only
in deacon's orders. One of his sons, at a later period, became Bishop of
Bayeux, as did also a grandson, whose mother (according to Beziers) was
"Isabelle de Dovre, maîtresse de Robert Conte de Glocester, bâtard de Henri

I., Roi d'Angleterre." Upon which I would found a Query, viz., Was this
grandson of Samson, whose name was Richard, an uterine or a half brother
of Roger, Bishop of Worcester? Both are described as sons of Robert, Earl
of Gloucester.

At p. 261. Alberede is described in the text of the translation to be a
daughter of "Hugh, Bishop of Evreux," whereas in the original she is said to
be "Hugonis Bajocensis episcopi filia."

In a note to this passage we are informed that Hugh, Bishop of Lisieux, died
at the Council of Rheims (Oct. 1049), and that he was eldest son of Ralph,
Count d'Ivri &c. On the contrary, we are told at p. 428, note 2, that it was
Odo's predecessor (i. e. Hugh d'Ivri) in the see of Bayeux, who died at the
Council of Rheims, Oct. 1049. Again, in a note at p. 118, we learn that
Hugh d'Eu, who succeeded Herbert as Bishop of Lisieux in 1050, or the
year following the Council in question, did not vacate that see until 1077.

Before I close this Note, I should be glad to inquire what grounds the editor
has for asserting (p. 32, n. 1.) that Thomas, Archbishop of York, "was not a
chaplain to the king" before his promotion. Thierry, Histoire de la
Conquête, &c. (Par. 1825, tome ii. p. 18.), says: "Thomas, l'un des
chapelains du roi, fut nommé archevêque d'York." And by Godwin (De
Præsul. Angl., tom. ii. p. 244.) we are told that Odo—

"Eum (Thomam) Thesaurarium Baiocensem constituit, et postea Regi
fratri commendavit, ut illi esset a sacras."
Anon.

A CURIOUS EXPOSITION.

The following curious illustration, which I met with the other day in a book
where few would be likely to look for it, seems to me fairly to deserve a
place among the Notes of your interesting publication. It forms the moral
exposition, by Cornelius à Lapide, of Ex. vii. 22.: "And the magicians of
Egypt did so with their enchantments," &c.

"See here," he says, "how the devil contends with God, the magicians
with the prophets, and heretics with the orthodox, by imitating their
words and deeds. In our days, as the English Martyrology testifies,
Richard White (Vitus) disputed with a wicked English Calvinist, who
was more mighty in drinking than in argument, concerning the keys of
the Church, and when the heretic pertinaciously asserted that they were
given to himself, White wittily and ingeniously replied: 'I believe that
they have been given to you as they were to Peter, but with this
distinction, that his were the keys of heaven, but yours of the beer-
cellar; for this the rubicund promontory of your nose indicates.' Thus
do heretics turn water into blood. This is their miracle."

Richard White I presume to have been an ejected Fellow of New College,
Oxford, afterwards rector of the University of Douai, and a Count Palatine
of the empire, author of sundry antiquarian and theological works; but it is
surely strange that this piece of ribaldry, of which he had been guilty,
should be thought worthy of being recorded; and still more so, that it should
be thus applied by a grave and learned Jesuit commentator.

Minor Notes.
Inscription.—The following quaint inscription is to be found on a
gravestone in the churchyard of Llangollen, North Wales:

"Our life is but a winter's day:
Some only breakfast and away;
Others to dinner stay, and are full fed;
The oldest man but sups, and goes to bed.
Large is the debt who lingers out the day;
Who goes the soonest has the least to pay."

Dublin.

Antiquarian Documents.—At a time when public records and state papers
are being thrown open by the Government in so liberal a spirit, might not
some plan be devised for admitting the public to the Church's antiquarian
documents also, treasured in the various chapter-houses, diocesan registries,
and cathedral libraries?

Might not catalogues of these be printed, as well as the more historically
valuable and curious of the papers themselves? And is there any sufficient
reason why the earlier portions of the parochial registers throughout the
country might not be published, say down to the commencement of the
present century, prior to which they appear to have no other value except for
literary purposes?

Bishop Watson's Map of Europe in 1854.—The following paragraph is an
extract from a letter written by Bishop Watson to Dr. Falconer of Bath, in
the year 1804:

"The death of a single prince in any part of Europe, remarkable either
for wisdom or folly, renders political conjectures of future
contingencies so extremely uncertain, that I seldom indulge myself in

forming them; yet it seems to me probable, that Europe will soon be
divided among three powers, France, Austria, and Russia; and in half a
century between two, France and Russia; and that America will
become the greatest naval power on the globe, and be replenished by
migrations of oppressed and discontented people from every part of
Europe."—See Anecdotes of the Life of Richard Watson, Bishop of
Llandaff, 2 vols. 8vo., London, 1818, vol. ii. p. 196.

Extracts from the Registers of the Bishops of Lincoln.—In searching
through the registers of the bishops of Lincoln, the following curious entries
met my eye:

"Smoke-farthings.—Commissio domini episcopi ad levandum le

The above entry occurs at fo. 48. of the register of William Alnewick,
Bishop of Lincoln.

Marston and Erasmus.—I am not aware the following similarity of idea,
between a passage in Marston's Antonio and Mellida and one in Erasmus'
Colloquies, has ever been pointed out:

" . . . . As having clasp'd a rose
Within my palm, the rose being ta'en away,
My hand retains a little breath of sweet.
So may man's trunk, his spirit slipp'd away,
Hold still a faint perfume of his sweet guest."

the reprint in the Ancient British Drama.

Puzzle for the Heralds.—Some years ago Sir John Newport, Bart., and who
was married, and Sir Simon Newport, who had received the honour of
knighthood, and was also married, lived in or near the city of Waterford;
and I have heard that owing to the frequent mistakes arising from the two
ladies being called each "Lady Newport," a case was sent to Dublin for the
opinion of the Ulster King of arms. It is said he himself was puzzled; Sir
Simon's lady was not "Lady Newport," for Sir John's lady had a prior and
higher claim; she was not "Lady Simon," for her husband was not Lord
Simon; but he ultimately decided that the lady was to be called "Lady Sir
Simon," and she was never afterwards known by any other title.

Queries.
SEPULCHRAL MONUMENTS.

As recumbent effigies are in vogue, there are some points connected
herewith worthy of discussion at the present time in your pages. The ultra-
admirers of the mediæval monuments will not allow the slightest deviation
from what they regard as the prescriptive model—a figure with the head
straight, and the hands raised in prayer. One of their arguments is, that the
ancient effigy is alive, while the modern modifications are in a state of
death, and consequently repulsive to the feelings of the spectator. In my
opinion, however, the vitality of the old ones is very questionable. Let us
reflect upon their probable origin. In former times the bodies of
ecclesiastics and other personages were laid in state, exposed to public
view, and even carried into the churches in that condition: a custom still
prevalent abroad. It is reasonable to conjecture that the monuments intended
to perpetuate this scene in stone, imitating the form of the deceased, with
the canopy and bier, and adorned with armorial bearings and other
appropriate devices. Images of wax were frequently substituted for the
corpse, some of which (among them Queen Elizabeth's) are still preserved
in Westminster Abbey; but the practice was kept up even down to the time
of the great Duke of Marlborough. It is recorded in history, that during the
progress of the body of our Henry V. from France, a figure of the king,
composed of boiled leather, was placed upon the coffin. York Cathedral
contains a beautiful example of a complete monument of this description in
the Early English style, which degenerated by degrees into the four-post
bed, with its affectionate couple, of the Elizabethan period. It is obviously a
fair deduction, from these circumstances, that the sepulchral effigies are
"hearsed in death."

From Mr. Ruskin's Stones of Venice, it appears that the figures on the
Venetian tombs of the Middle Ages are manifestly dead; and such, it may be
inferred, is the impression conveyed to his highly cultivated mind by the
contemplation of those in our own country.

"In the most elaborate examples," says this observant writer, "the
canopy is surmounted by a statue, generally small, representing the
dead person in the full strength and pride of life, while the recumbent
figure shows him as he lay in death. And at this point the perfect type
of the Gothic tomb is reached."

Describing one at Verona, of the fourteenth century, he observes:

"The principal aim of the monument is to direct the thoughts to his
image as he lies in death, and to the expression of his hope of
resurrection."

And towards the conclusion of his review of their development he writes:

"This statue in the meantime has been gradually coming back to life
through a curious series of transitions. The Vendramin monument is
one of the last which shows, or pretends to show, the recumbent figure
laid in death. A few years later this idea became disagreeable to polite
minds; and lo! the figures which before had been laid at rest upon the
tomb pillow, raised themselves on their elbows, and began to look
around them. The soul of the sixteenth century dared not contemplate
its body in death."

Flaxman, in his remarks on the monuments of Aylmer de Valence and
Edmund Crouchback in Westminster Abbey, admires

"The solemn repose of the principal figure, representing the deceased
in his last prayer for mercy to the throne of grace, the delicacy of
thought in the group of angels bearing the soul, and the tender
sentiment of concern variously expressed in the relations ranged in
order round the basement."

As, however, a canopy on the former exhibits a living figure of the departed
on horseback, such as Mr. Ruskin notices in Italy, and as the angels are said
to bear the soul, the knight must certainly have breathed his last. The raised
hands are no refutation of the argument, since there are grounds for the
assertion that those of the dead bodies laid in state were sometimes tied
together to retain them in the suitable position. A few exceptional instances,

no doubt, occur of variations in the attitude irreconcileable with death, and
equally inconsistent with a reclining posture. It must also be admitted that
in brasses and incised slabs (which may be regarded in many respects as
parallel memorials), the eyes are almost invariably unclosed; yet the fact,
neither in this case nor in that of the carved marble, does not by any means
certify that the individuals are alive.

Since then there is so much reason for the supposition that the generality of
our ancestors are sculptured in the sleep of death, the recumbent figure of a
Christian clasping the Bible, and slightly turning his head, just passed away
into another state of existence (not into purgatory, but into a happier world),
cannot surely be now deemed unsuitable to a Gothic church.

QUERIES ON SOUTH'S SERMONS.

I should be glad to know the authority for the following statement in
South's sermon, Against long Extempore Prayers, vol. i. p. 251., Tegg's
edition, 1843:

"These two things are certain, and I do particularly recommend them
to your observation: One, that this way of praying by the Spirit, as they
call it, was begun, and first brought into use here in England, in Queen
Elizabeth's days, by a Popish priest and Dominican friar, one Faithful
Commin by name. Who, counterfeiting himself a Protestant, and a
zealot of the highest form, set up this new spiritual way of praying,
with a design to bring the people first to a contempt, and from thence
to an utter hatred and disuse of our Common Prayer; which he still
reviled as only a translation of the mass, thereby to distract men's
minds, and to divide our Church. And this he did with such success,
that we have lived to see the effects of his labours in the utter
subversion of Church and State; which hellish negociation, when this
malicious hypocrite came to Rome to give the Pope an account of, he
received of him, as so notable a service well deserved, besides a
thousand thanks, two thousand ducats for his pains."

Also, who was W. W., the author of "a virulent and insulting pamphlet,
entitled, A Letter to a Member of Parliament, printed in the year 1697, and
as like the author himself, W. W., as malice can make it," referred to in a
note by South at the end of his sermon on The Recompence of the Reward,
vol. ii. p. 152. Is this pamphlet still in existence?

Minor Queries.
Norwich, Kirkpatrick Collection of MSS. for the History of.—Mr. Simon
Wilkin, in the preface to the Repertorium, contained in his fourth volume of
his valuable edition of the works of Sir Thomas Browne, p. 4., having
spoken of the large collections for the History of Norwich made by Mr.
John Kirkpatrick, who died in 1728, and gave the said collections by will to
the mayor, sheriffs, citizens, and commonalty of the city of Norwich, in
order that "some citizen hereafter, being a skilful antiquary, may, from the
same, have an opportunity of completing and publishing the said history,"
&c., goes on to say, "the MSS. referred to were some years ago in the
possession of the corporation, but we fear the original intention of the donor
has been lost sight of, and that these valuable MSS. are for ever lost to the
lover of local antiquities." This was printed in 1835. But the subject ought
not to be permitted to drop and rest there. Up to that date, can it be
ascertained that the papers remained in the keeping of the Corporation? Are
they still in their hands, though inaccessible? Can any information be
obtained as to the when and the how they passed out of their possession?
Or, above all, can any clue be found to their subsequent history and present
resting-place? It may be suggested to any patriotic citizen and antiquary of
the fair city of Norwich, that, inasmuch as the Corporation, by the terms of
the will, are only trustees for the property, the Court of Chancery might be
moved to assist in the recovery thereof.

Initials in Glass Quarries.—In St. Clement's Church, Norwich, are some
diamond-shaped panes of glass, or quarries, containing initial letters, &c.

1. The letters I. V. beneath a mitre. (Glass probably about A.D. 1600.) Do
these belong to any Bishop of Norwich?

2. A. A. 3. A. I. Glass and style probably give 1500-1550 for the date.

At St. Neots' parish church, Huntingdonshire, the initials W. and M.
interlaced, G., and C., occur on several quarries.

At Puttenham, Hertfordshire, is a broken quarry bearing a shield, charged
with a ship in full sail; on a chief, the arms of King's Coll. Cambridge. The
living belongs to that college, I believe.

Can any of your correspondents assist in assigning these initials and arms to
their respective owners? The date of the glass in the two last-named cases is
probably the end of the seventeenth century.

attached to it; candlesticks and snuffers, spoons and forks, being parts of
those I saw the other day in Summersham, St. Ives, and several other

Maydenburi.—The seal with which I close my letter was purchased some
years ago on the west coast of Wales. It is engraved on brass; the upper part
being much beaten down, as if struck with a hammer when used, but the
face is perfect. The legend is, "S. IONIS. DE MAYDENBVRI:" but being engraved
in the usual direction, it reads on the impression from right to left. The "s."
may be read either as "sanctus" or "sigillum." The figure is that of St.
Christopher, bearing Christ across a running stream.

I have not been able to discover the locality of Maydenburi, and therefore
my questions to such of your readers as are more skilled in mediæval lore
than myself, are, Where is this place situated, and what was its previous
destination, monastic or otherwise? and who was the original proprietor of

skenes or long knives.

that followed the host on foot." The French historian also informs us, that the skene or knife was the
chief weapon used by the Irish in that age: "The Irish have pointed knives with broad blades, sharp
on both sides, like a dart-head, with which they kill their enemies," &c. Johnes's Translation, vol. iv.

King of the Isle of Wight.—I was not aware that the Isle of Wight, like the
Isle of Man, had once been a kingdom. It seems that Henry de Beauchamp,
Earl and Duke of Warwick, was crowned, circa 1445, King of the Isle of
Wight. Perhaps some of your correspondents may be able to throw some
light on this matter.
E. H. A.
[Henry Beauchamp, Duke of Warwick, son of Richard Earl of Warwick, was crowned King of the
Isle of Wight by patent 24 Henry VI., King Henry in person assisting at the ceremonial, and placing
the crown on his head. Leland (Itiner., vol. vi. p. 91.) says, "Henricus Comes de Warwike ab Henrico
VI. cui carissimus erat, coronatus in regem de Wighte, et postea nominatus primus comes totius
Angliæ." Leland takes this ex Libello de Antiquitate Theoksibriensis Monasterii, in the church of
which house this Duke of Warwick was buried. But little notice has been taken of this singular event
by our historians, and, except for some other collateral evidence, the authenticity of it might be
doubted; but the representation of this duke with an imperial crown on his head and a sceptre before
him, in an ancient window of the collegiate church at Warwick, leaves no doubt that such an event
did take place. (See Worsley's Hist. of the Isle of Wight for a plate copied from an accurate drawing of
the king.) This honourable mark of the royal favour, however, conveyed no regal authority, the king
having no power to transfer the sovereignty of any part of his dominions, as is observed by Lord
Coke in his Institutes, where this transaction is discussed; and there is reason to conclude that, though
titular king, he did not even possess the lordship of the island, no surrender appearing from Duke
Humphrey, who was then living, and had a grant for the term of his life. Mr. Selden too, in his Titles
of Honour, p. 29., treating of the title of the King of Man, observes that "it was like that of King of
the Isle of Wight, in the great Beauchamp, Duke of Warwick, who was crowned king under Henry

VI." Henry Beauchamp was also crowned King of Guernsey and Jersey. He died soon after these
honours had been conferred on him, June 11, 1445, when the regal title expired with him, and the
lordship of the island, at the death of the Duke of Gloucester, reverted to the crown.]

Theodore de la Guard.—I have a tract by him with the title of The simple
Cobler of Aggawam, in America, London, 1647. Who was he? and where
can I find any account of him or his work?
Cpl.
[The Rev. Nathaniel Ward was the author of this work. He was born at Haverhill in Essex, of which
place his father was a clergyman; and after studying at Cambridge, became minister of Standon in
Herts; but was cited before the bishop, Dec. 12, 1631, to answer for his nonconformity. Being
forbidden to preach, he embarked for America in April, 1634, and settled as pastor of the church at
Ipswich, or Aggawam. He returned to England in 1646, and on June 30, 1647, preached before the
House of Commons, and the same year published The Simple Cobler. He was afterwards settled at
Shenfield, near Brentwood, where he died in 1653, in his eighty-third year. Fuller, in his Worthies,
co. Suffolk, speaking of him, says, that he, "following the counsel of the poet,

'Ridentem dicere verum,
Quis vetat?'

'What doth forbid that one may smile,
And also tell the truth the while?'

hath in a jesting way, in some of his books, delivered much smart truth of the present times." Dr.
Mather, in his Magnalia, remarks of him, that "he was the author of many composures full of wit and
sense; among which that entitled The Simple Cobler (which demonstrated him to be a subtil
statesman) was most considered." This work passed through several editions in England in 1647. It
was reprinted in Boston in 1713. The best edition, containing the author's subsequent additions, is
that edited by David Pulsifer, Boston, 1843.]

Back.—What is the meaning and derivation of "Back," as applied to several
localities in Bristol, as, for instance, The Back, Welsh Back, Temple Back,

Clifton.
[Barrett, in his History of Bristol, p. 72., gives a clue to the origin of this local name: "Before the
quay was made the usual place, as Leland says, for landing goods out of the ships was at the Back (or
Bec, a Saxon word for a river), where was the old Custom-house. The quay being completed, and the
marsh of Bristol thereby effectually divided from that of St. Augustine, houses and streets began to
be built there; Marsh Street terminated with a chapel, dedicated to St. Clement, and a gate; and Back
Street, with a gate also, and a chapel near it, dedicated to St. John, and belonging to St. Nicholas; the
church of St. Stephen and its dependent parish, and the buildings between the Back and the quay,
seem to have taken their rise at this period, and were all enclosed with a strong embattled wall,

externa or secunda mœnia urbis, extending from the quay to the Back, where King Street has since
been built."]

THE ADVICE SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO
JULIUS III.

(Vol. viii., p. 54.; Vol. ix. passim.)

Your correspondent Novus has very judiciously warned controversialists on
the use of a document as emanating from the papal court, which, to every
one who reads it through (if a shorter examination will not be satisfactory),
must carry evidence of its not being papal authority, but intended as a satire
on Rome. A writer in the Christian Remembrancer, vol. xii., attaches undue
importance to the signatures, in the absence of which, he admits, "we
should conclude that this was the production of some enemy in disguise."

In a 4to. volume of Tracts now before me is a copy of the genuine
document—

"Consilium delectorum cardinalium et aliorum prælatorum, de
emendanda ecclesia. S. D. N. Papa Paulo III. ipso jubente conscriptum

and several other tracts, so rare that an enumeration of them, and a few
extracts, will perhaps be acceptable to many of the readers of "N. & Q."

This is the opening of the epilogus Colloquii Spadani, a copy of which rare
tract is in the extensive collection of the President of the Chetham Society.
The epilogue contains an unmeasured invective against these three "vassal
slaves of servile Rome."[1] Wright's panegyric on Stanley is thus introduced
and distorted:

"Egregia facinora tua vidit Hibernia, experta est Hollandia, agnoscit

Had your correspondent Novus, in his first communication, specified by
name the Consilium Quorundam Episcoporum as the document whose
fictitious character he desired to notify, I should not have been betrayed into
my supererogatory vindication of the Consilium Delectorum Cardinalium;
the latter piece having lately been much before me, and its very
extraordinary frankness in acknowledging the existence of the gravest

abuses, of which the Reformers complained, giving it so much the air of
satirical fiction. The use of the other document, moreover, being chiefly in
the hands of a class of writers I am happy in not being able to boast a very
extensive acquaintance with, recent anti-papal controversialists, I certainly
did think that Novus had impugned the authenticity of the genuine
Consilium.

R. G. is mistaken in supposing that I thought there were nine Cardinals in
the committee which drew up the genuine Consilium, as the full title of this
piece will show:—Consilium novem Delectorum Cardinalium et aliorum
Prælatorum, de emendanda Ecclesia.

LORD ROSEHILL.

(Vol. ix., p. 422.)

Something more than a partiality for the novelist takes me now and then to
the scene of the antiquary—Aberbrothock, or Arbroath. On one occasion, in
company with a few friends, we made a day of it in a ramble along the
romantic eastern coast of that burgh, and the scene of the perilous incident
related of Sir Arthur Lekiss Wardour, when rescued from the incoming tide
by being drawn up the face of the precipitous cliff by the doughty
Mucklebacket, under the superintendence of Oldbuck and young Lovel. The
fresh breeze from the German Ocean, and the excitement of the occasion,
imparted a keen relish for the locality and its associations; and by the time
we reached the hostelry of Mrs. Walker, at Auchmithie, a no less sharp
appreciation of the piscatorial spread we had the foresight to bespeak the
previous day. Ushered into Lucky Walker's best dining-room, our attention
was immediately drawn to an aristocratic emblazonment of arms which
occupied one entire side of the room, with a ribbon, artistically disposed
over the same, upon which was inscribed Lord Rosehill, who was, we were
informed, the eldest son of the Earl of Northesk (Carnegie), a great
proprietor in that neighbourhood, and the special patron of our hostess and
her establishment.

With respect to the particular Lord Rosehill, alluded to by your
correspondent W. D. R., I beg to offer him the following brief notice from
Douglas' Peerage, by Wood, Edin. 1813:

"David L. Rosehill (son of Geo. 6th E. of Northesk) was born at Edin.,
5th April, 1749; had an Ensign's commission in the 26th Reg. Foot in
1765; quitted the army 1767, and went to America. He married in
Maryland, in Aug. 1768, Miss Mary Cheer, and died without issue at
Rouen, in Normandy, 19 Feb. 1788, æt. 39."

From a dear old lady, whom I always find a mine of Forfarshire anecdote of
the last century, I obtain some corroborative proof that the said David Lord
Rosehill was the eccentric character we might infer from the above, in the
assurance that he was "a ne'er do weel, and ran away with the tincklers (i. e.
gypsies) in early life."

If I may farther travel out of the record, allow me here to recommend to
such of your readers as meditate the northern tour this summer, to diverge a
little from the beaten track, and visit the neighbourhood above alluded to;
your antiquarian friends, especially, will be delighted with that fine old ruin,
the Abbey of Aberbrothock, now that it is brushed up and fit to receive
visitors. The worthy Mr. Peter, in charge, has some curious relics acquired
at the last diggins, and possesses a fragment of a black-letter Chronicle to
satisfy the incredulous that in identifying the objects exhibited, he has his
warrant in Hector Boece. The man of progress, too, will find in Fairport, or
Arbroath, a hive of industry; but, I regret to add, threatened with a check by
this closing of the Baltic trade, which is, if I may say so, both woof and
warp in the prosperity of this and other towns on the east coast of Scotland.
And lastly, the lovers of ocean, rocks, and caves, will be not less interested
with the environs, and I doubt not all would leave it exclaiming with
Johnson, that if they had seen no more of old Scotia than Aberbrothock,
they would not have regretted their journey.

MAJOR ANDRÉ.

(Vol. ix., p. 111.)

On the 13th of January, 1817, Mr. Chappell made a report unfavourable to
the petition of John Paulding (one of the citizens who captured Major
André), who prays for an increase of the pension allowed to him by the
government in consequence of that service. On the question to reverse this
report, an interesting debate followed.

We copy the following from the National Intelligencer, January 14, 1817:

"What gave interest principally to the debate, was the disclosure by
Mr. Tallmadge of Connecticut (an officer at the time, and commanding
the advance guard when Major André was brought in) of his view of
the merit of this transaction, with which history and the records of the
country have made every man familiar. The value of the service he did
not deny; but on the authority of the declaration of Major André (made
while in the custody of Colonel Tallmadge), he gave it as his opinion
that, if Major André could have given to these men the amount they
demanded for his release, he never would have been hung as a spy, nor
in captivity on that occasion. Mr. T.'s statement was minutely
circumstantial, and given with expressions of his individual confidence
in its correctness. Among other circumstances he stated, that when
Major André's boots were taken off by them, it was to search for
plunder, and not to detect treason. These persons, indeed, he said, were
of that class of people who passed between both armies, as often in
one camp as the other, and whom, he said, if he had met with them, he
should probably as soon have apprehended as Major André, as he had
always made it a rule to do with these suspicious persons. The
conclusion to be drawn from the whole of Mr. Tallmadge's statement,
of which this is a brief abstract, was, that these persons had brought in
Major André only because they should probably get more for his
apprehension than for his release."

The question on reversing the report was decided in the negative:—Ayes,
53; Noes, 80 or 90.

It is proper to say that the question was decided on the ground taken in the
report, viz. on the injustice of legislating on a single case of pension, whilst

there were many survivors of the Revolution whom the favour of the
government had not distinguished.

From The Gleaner, published at Wilkesbury, Pennsylvania (copied into the
National Intelligencer of Washington, March 4, 1817):

"The disclosure recently made by Colonel Tallmadge in the House of
Representatives, relative to the capture of Major André, seems to have
been received in every instance with the confidence to which it was
certainly entitled. That gentleman related what he saw and knew; and
those who are attempting to dispute him, relate only what they had
been informed of. To those of our readers who may not have seen the
report of Colonel Tallmadge's remarks, it may be proper to observe,
that those three men who captured Major André, applied to Congress
for an increase of pension settled on them by the government, and that
when this application was under consideration, Colonel Tallmadge (a
member for Connecticut) rose and stated, that having been the officer
to whom the care of André was entrusted, he had heard André declare
that those men robbed him, and upon his offer to reward them for
taking him to the British lines, he believes they declined only from the
impossibility of giving them sufficient security, &c., and that it was not
patriotism but the hope of gain which induced them to deliver him to
the Americans. To this declaration of Colonel Tallmadge, and in
support of his opinion, we are happy to have it in our power to offer
the following corroborating testimony.

"There is now living in this town a gentleman who was an officer in
the Massachusets line, and who was particularly conversant in all the
circumstances of that transaction. It was this gentleman who, in
company with Captain Hughes, composed the special guard of André's
person, was with him during the last twenty-four hours of his life, and
supported him to the place of execution. From him we have received
the following particulars: it is needless to say we give them our
implicit belief, since to those who are acquainted with the person to
whom we allude, no other testimony is ever necessary than his simple
declaration.

"To this gentleman André himself related that he was passing down a
hill, at the foot of which, under a tree, playing cards, were the three
men who took him. They were close by the road side, and he had
approached very near them before either party discovered the other;
upon seeing him they instantly rose and seized their rifles. They
approached him and demanded who he was; he immediately answered
that he was a British officer, supposing, from their being so near the
British lines, that they belonged to that party. They then seized him,
robbed him of the few guineas which he had with him, and the two
watches which he then wore, one of gold and the other of silver. He
offered to reward them if they would take him to New York; they
hesitated, and in his (André's) opinion, the reason why they did not do
so, was the impossibility on his part to secure to them the performance
of the promise.

"He informs also that it was an opinion too prevalent to admit of any
doubt, that these men were of that description of persons called 'cow
boys,' or those who, without being considered as belonging to either
party, made it a business to pillage from both. He has frequently heard
this opinion expressed at that time by several officers who were
personally acquainted with all these men, and who could not have been
mistaken in their general characters.

"André frequently spoke of the kindness of the American officers, and
particularly of the attention of Major Tallmadge; and on the way to the
place of execution sent for that officer to come near him, that he might
learn the manner in which he was to die."

Statement of Van Wart (from the National Intelligencer of Feb. 25, 1817):

"Isaac Van Wart, of the town of Mount Pleasant, in the county of
Westchester, being duly sworn, doth depose and say, that he is one of
the three persons who arrested Major André during the American
revolutionary war, and conducted him to the American camp. That he,
this deponent, together with David Williams and John Paulding, had
secreted themselves at the side of the highway, for the purpose of
detecting any person coming from, or having unlawful intercourse
with, the enemy, being between the two armies; a service not

uncommon in those times. That this deponent and his companions
were armed with muskets, and upon seeing Major André approach the
place where they were concealed, they rose and presented their
muskets at him, and required him to stop, which he did. He then asked
them whether they belonged to his party, and then they asked him
which was his party? to which he replied the lower party. Upon which
they, deeming a little stratagem under such circumstances not only
justifiable but necessary, gave him to understand that they were of his
party, upon which he joyfully declared himself to be a British officer,
and told them that he had been out upon very particular business.
Having ascertained thus much, this deponent and his companions
undeceived him as to their characters, declaring themselves to be
Americans, and that he must consider himself their prisoner. Upon this,
with seeming unconcern, he said he had a pass from General Arnold,
which he exhibited, and then insisted on their permitting him to
proceed. But they told him that, as he had confessed himself to be a
British officer, they deemed it to be their duty to convey him to the
American camp; and then took him into a wood, a short distance from
the highway, in order to guard against being surprised by parties of the
enemy, who were frequently reconnoitering in that neighbourhood.
That when they had him in the wood they proceeded to search him, for
the purpose of ascertaining who and what he was, and found inside of
his stockings and boots, next to his bare feet, papers which satisfied
them he was a spy. Major André now showed them his gold watch, and
remarked that it was evidence of his being a gentleman, and also
promised to make them any reward they might name, if they would but
permit him to proceed, which they refused. He then told them that if
they doubted the fulfilment of his promise, they might conceal him in
some secret place, and keep him there until they could send to New
York and receive their reward. And this deponent expressly declares,
that every offer made by Major André to them was promptly and
resolutely refused. And, for himself, he solemnly declares that he had
not, and he does most sincerely believe that Paulding and Williams had
not, any intention of plundering their prisoner; nor did they confer with
each other, or even hesitate whether they should accept his promise,
but, on the contrary, they were, in the opinion of this deponent,
governed, like himself, by a deep interest in the cause of the country,

and a strong sense of duty. And this deponent further says that he never
visited the British camp, nor does he believe or suspect that either
Paulding or Williams ever did, except that Paulding was, once before
André's capture, and once afterwards, made a prisoner by the British,
as this deponent has been informed and believes. And this deponent,
for himself, expressly denies that he ever held any unlawful traffic or
any intercourse whatever with the enemy. And, appealing solemnly to
that omniscient Being, at whose tribunal he must soon appear, he doth
expressly declare that all accusations, charging him therewith, are
utterly untrue.

"Sworn this 28th day of January, 1817,
before Jacob Radcliff.

"We the subscribers, inhabitants of the county of Westchester, do
certify that during the revolutionary war we were well acquainted with
Isaac Van Wart, David Williams, and John Paulding, who arrested
Major André; and that at no time during the revolutionary war was any
suspicion ever entertained by their neighbours or acquaintances, that
they, or either of them, held any undue intercourse with the enemy. On
the contrary, they were universally esteemed, and taken to be ardent
and faithful in the cause of the country. We further certify that the said
Paulding and Williams are not now resident among us, but that Isaac
Van Wart is a respectable freeholder of the town of Mount Pleasant,
that we are all well acquainted with him, and we do not hesitate to
declare our belief that there is not an individual in the county of
Westchester, acquainted with Isaac Van Wart, who would hesitate to
describe him as a man of a sober, moral, industrious, and religious life,
as a man whose integrity is as unimpeachable as his veracity is
undoubted. In these respects no man in the county of Westchester is his
superior.

THE TERMINATIONS "-BY" AND "-NESS."

The linguistic origin of these descriptive syllables, when found as suffixes
to the names of places, is a question of some interest to the antiquary and
ethnologist; and, as to the former of them, has, on that account, fitly enough
been made the subject of occasional discussion in the pages of "N. & Q."
The -by, as your pages evince (Vol. vii., p. 536.), is implicitly relied upon
by Mr. Worsaae and his disciples, in support of the Danish theory of that

eminent northern scholar; and that too, as it appears, without any very
minute regard to the etymology and meaning of the former syllabic
divisions of proper names so characterised. If only the designation of a
locality end with -by, evidence sufficient is given, that it owes its paternity
specially to the Danes alone, of all the Scandinavian tribes who obtained a
permanent footing on our shores. The same is the case with respect to the
termination -ness, and its orthographic varieties. As with the Ashbys,
Newbys, and Kirbys of our several counties, so (inter alia) with the
Hackness of Yorkshire, the Longness of Man, the Bowness of
Westmoreland, and the Foulness of Essex. All have the Danish mark upon
them; and all, therefore, possess a Danish original, and bear witness of a
Danish location.

With regard to the -by, I have already, in these pages, taken occasion to
suggest a doubt whether, in that particular instance, the Worsaaen theory be
not as fallacious as it is dogmatical. And, adopting the same method with
the -ness, I think it will be evident, on examination of the following list of
almost identical forms of the expression, that, as to this point also, no
argument can be founded upon it, one way or the other, beyond the fact of
its derivation from some of the Scandinavian tribes who, in the fifth and
succeeding centuries, established themselves on our shores: if, indeed, I do
not, even with this enlarged extension, assign to the presence of the term in
our topography a too restricted application.

I have a list now before me of 521 places with this suffix, distributed over
twenty-five counties. It does not pretend to be complete; but as it offers a
more extended view of the question than in Vol. ix., p. 136., I subjoin the
results:

Yorkshire 173
Lincolnshire 163
Leicestershire 49
Norfolk 22
Cumberland 21
Westmoreland 18
Northamptonshire 17
Lancashire 14

Nottinghamshire 14

Durham and Warwickshire, 3 each 6
Essex and Isle of Man, 2 each 4
Cardiganshire, Cheshire, Cornwall, Kent, Monmouthshire,
Northumberland, Pembrokeshire, Salop, and Wiltshire, 1 each 10
521

Our termination -ness, then, is the old northern or Icelandic nes, the parent
of the Dan. næs, and the Ang.-Sax. nese and næs, signifying "a neck of
land, or promontory." From this nes came, naturally enough, the old
northern naos or nös, whence the Dan. næse, the Germ. nase; the Ang.-Sax.
nase, næse, nose; the Norman-Fr. naz, and Su.-Goth. naese (in Al. and
Sansc. nasa, and in Gall. nes); the Latin nasus, and Eng. nose, or nase as it
is spelt by Gower in his Conf. Am. b. v., "Both at mouth and at nase."
Closely akin to the same word, and probably derived from an identical
source, is the old northern nef, whence were formed the Vulg.-Isl. nebbi, the
Dan. neb, and the Ang.-Sax. nebbe and neb (in Pers. anef; in C. Tscherh. ep,
in Curd. defin), the beak or bill, the neb or nib of a bird; and also used of the
prominent feature of the human face divine, to which the term is applied by
Shakspeare and Bacon, as it is occasionally at the present day by the older
inhabitants of the Yorkshire dales.

Thus have we the origin of our nase, -nese, -ness, -nib, -nab, &c., which are
found in the composition of many of our local proper names; but, after
looking over the foregoing paragraph, who can tell whether these forms
were transported to our shores in a Saxon, Jutish, Anglic, or Danish bark?

NEWSPAPER FOLK LORE.

(Vol. vi., pp. 221. 338. 466.; Vol. ix., pp. 29. 84. 276)

Is it quite certain that "no animal can live in the alimentary canal but the
parasites which belong to that part of the animal economy?" Being ignorant
of the matter I give no opinion, but would bring before your readers' notice
the following seemingly well-authenticated instance. I quote from Insect
Transformations, 1830, p. 239., a work put forth by the Society for the
Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.

"That insects are, in some rare cases, introduced into the human
stomach, has been more than once proved, though the greater number
of the accounts of such facts in medical books are too inaccurate to be
trusted.[3] But one extraordinary case has been completely
authenticated, both by medical men and competent naturalists, and is

published in the Dublin Transactions, by Dr. Pickells of Cork.[4] Mary
Riordan, aged twenty-eight, had been much affected by the death of
her mother, and at one of her many visits to the grave seems to have
partially lost her senses, having been found lying there on the morning
of a winter's day, and having been exposed to heavy rain during the
night. When she was about fifteen, two popular Catholic priests had
died, and she was told by some old women that if she would drink
daily, for a certain time, a quantity of water mixed with clay taken
from their graves, she would be for ever secure from disease and sin.
Following this absurd and disgusting prescription, she took from time
to time large quantities of the draught; some time afterwards, being
affected with a burning pain in the stomach (cardialgia), she began to
eat large pieces of chalk, which she sometimes also mixed with water
and drank.

"Now, whether in any or in all these draughts she swallowed the eggs
of insects, cannot be affirmed; but for several years she continued to
throw up incredible numbers of grubs and maggots, chiefly of the
churchyard beetle (Blaps mortisaga). 'Of the larvæ of the beetle,' says
Dr. Pickells, 'I am sure I considerably underrate, when I say that not
less than 700 have been thrown up from the stomach at different times
since the commencement of my attendance. A great proportion were
destroyed by herself to avoid publicity; many, too, escaped
immediately by running into holes in the floor. Upwards of ninety
were submitted to Dr. Thomson's examination; nearly all of which,
including two of the specimens of the meal-worm (Tenebrio molitor), I
saw myself thrown up at different times. The average size was about
an inch and a half in length, and four lines and a half in girth. The
larvæe of the dipterous insect, though voided only about seven or eight
times, according to her account, came up almost literally in myriads.
They were alive and moving.' Altogether, Dr. Pickells saw nearly 2,000
grubs of the beetle, and there were many which he did not see. Mr.
Clear, an intelligent entomologist of Cork, kept some of them alive for
more than twelve months. Mr. S. Cooper cannot understand whence
the continued supply of the grubs was provided, seeing that larvæ do
not propagate, and that only one pupa and one perfect insect were
voided[5]; but the simple fact, that most beetles live several years in the

state of larvæ, sufficiently accounts for this. Their existing and thriving
in the stomach, too, will appear the less wonderful from the fact that it
is exceedingly difficult to kill this insect; for Mr. Henry Baker
repeatedly plunged one into spirits of wine, so fatal to most insects, but
it revived, even after being immersed a whole night, and afterwards
lived three years.[6]

"That there was no deception on the part of the woman, is proved by
the fact that she was always anxious to conceal the circumstance; and
that it was only by accident that the medical gentlemen, Drs. Pickells,
Herrick, and Thomson, discovered it. Moreover, it does not appear
that, though poor, she ever took advantage of it to extort money. It is
interesting to learn that, by means of turpentine in large doses, she was
at length cured."

VENTILATION.

(Vol. ix., p. 415.)

"Airs from heaven or blasts from hell."

The mistake which, it is very respectfully submitted, the professed
ventilationists fall into, and which may be considered the fons et origo
malorum, is the notion that foul air rises upwards, and that pure air comes
from below; which is just the reverse of the fact.

In any room containing animals or vegetables, the air undergoes a change
by respiration.

Leaving the vegetables to care for themselves, and considering the animals,
if such a title may be reverently given to members of the House and others
shut up in confined apartments for the benefit of their species, it is obvious
that the pure air of heaven must undergo a change by the respiratory organs
of the members, which change is absolutely necessary to preserve their
lives, and each such apartment is a manufactory for converting pure into
foul air. Its steam-power is seated in the lungs, which, at each inspiration,
take up the oxygen (the principle of life and flame) of the air, and at each
expiration give out the carbon of the blood, conveyed by the veins from all
parts of the body as refuse, and when purged therefrom by oxygen inspired,
convert the venous blood into arterial, and bring life out of death.

What, then, becomes of the expired carbon? The professional ventilationists
say it ascends, and they provide mechanically, but not scientifically,
accordingly. On the contrary, it finally descends; and this is the reason why
our beds are always a few feet above the floor. If proof is needed, it may be
found by applying a candle to the door, slightly ajar, of a room occupied by
a few persons, when it will be found that the flame of the candle will point,
when held at the lower part of the door, outwards, and at the upper part of
the door inwards, showing how the currents of air pass; and as every one
knows carbon to be heavier than air, the lower current is the one charged
with carbon. The Grotto del Cane derives its name from the fact, that a dog
passing the stream of carbon issuing from the fissure in the rock, dies;
whilst a man walking erect, with his mouth above the stream of carbon,
escapes. Our lime-kilns furnish a common example of the fact of the
density of carbon compared with atmospheric air. Experiments in proof are
constantly exhibited in chemical lectures.

The practical inference, experto crede, is that holes in the skirting-boards
should be made so as to draw off the foul air, whilst the angelic visits of
pure air should be sought from above. Bellows, such as are used in diving-
bells, with hot or cold air, might be necessary in an extreme case—long
debates in the Commons, for example,—which may require extraordinary
ventilation.

PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.

History of Photographic Discovery.—Without entirely agreeing with the
opinion expressed to us a few days since, by an eminent scholar and most
original thinker, that photography was destined to change the face of the
whole world; we have little doubt it is destined to produce some striking
social effects. Its history is, therefore, an interesting one, and the following
extract from a paper "On some early Experiments in Photography, being the
substance of a Letter addressed to Robert Hunt, Esq., by the Rev. J. B.
Reade, M.A., F.R.S.," from the Philosophical Magazine for May, 1854,
seems, in that point of view, so important, that we have transferred it to "N.
& Q."

"I may assume that you are already aware, from my letter to Mr. Brayley of
March 9, 1839, and published in the British Review for August, 1847, that
the principal agents I employed, before Mr. Talbot's processes were known,
were infusion of galls as an accelerator, and hyposulphite of soda as a fixer.

"I have no doubt, though I have not a distinct recollection of the fact, that I
was led to use the infusion of galls from my knowledge of the early
experiments by Wedgwood. I was aware that he found leather more
sensitive than paper; and it is highly probable that the tanning process,
which might cause the silver solution to be more readily acted upon when
applied to the leather, suggested my application of the tanning solution to
paper.

"In your own history of the photographic process," says Mr. Reade,
addressing Mr. Hunt, "you say, 'the discovery of the extraordinary property
of the gallic acid in increasing the sensibility of the iodide of silver was the
most valuable of the numerous contributions which Mr. Talbot has made to
the photographic art.' It is nevertheless true, as stated by Sir David
Brewster, that 'the first public use of the infusion of nut-galls, which is an
essential element in Mr. Talbot's patented process, is due to Mr. Reade;' and
in my letter to Mr. Brayley I attribute the sensitiveness of my process to the
formation of a gallate or tannate of silver. I need scarcely say, that among
various experiments I tried gallic and tannic acid in their pure state, both
separately and mixed; but the colour of the pictures thus obtained with the
solar microscope was at that time less pleasing to my eye, than the rich
warm tone which the same acids produced when in their natural connexion
with solutions of vegetable matter in the gall-nut. This organic combination,
however, was more effective with the solar microscope than with the
camera, though the lenses of my camera were five inches in diameter. It is
probable enough that the richer tone was due to the greater energy of direct
solar rays. In using the solar microscope, I employed a combination of
lenses which produced a convergence of the luminous and photogenic rays,
together with a dispersion of the calorific rays, and the consequent absence
of all sensible heat enabled me to use Ross's cemented powers, and to make
drawings of objects inclosed in Canada balsam, and of living animalcules in
single drops of water. The method I employed was communicated to the
Royal Society in December, 1836, and a notice of it is contained in the
'Abstracts.'

"You inform me that some persons doubt whether I really obtain gallate of
silver when using an infusion of gall-nuts, and that one of Mr. Talbot's
friends raises the question. It is sufficient to reply, that though gallic acid is
largely formed by a long exposure of an infusion of gall-nuts to the
atmosphere, as first proposed by Scheele, yet this acid does exist in the gall-
nut in its natural state, and in a sufficient quantity to form gallate of silver
as a photogenic agent; for M. Deyeux observes, that 'when heat is very
slowly applied to powdered gall-nuts, gallic acid sublimes from them, a part
of which, when the process is conducted with great care, appears in the
form of small white crystals.' M. Fiedler also obtained gallic acid by mixing
together a solution of gall-nuts and pure alumina, which latter combines

with the tannin and leaves the gallic acid free in the solution; and this
solution is found, on experiment, to produce very admirable pictures. But
what is more to the point, Mr. Brayley, in explaining my process in his
lectures, showed experimentally how gallate of silver was formed, and
confirmed my view of the sensitiveness of the preparation. It is therefore
certain that the use of gallate of silver as a photogenic agent had been made
public in two lectures by Mr. Brayley at least two years before Mr. Talbot's
patent was sealed.

"I employed hyposulphite of soda as a fixer. Mr. Hodgson, an able practical
chemist at Apothecaries' Hall, assisted me in the preparation of this salt,
which at that time was probably not be found, as an article of sale, in any
chemist's shop in London. Sir John Herschel had previously announced the
peculiar action of this preparation of soda on salts of silver, but I believe
that I was the first to use it in the processes of photography. I also used
iodide of potassium, as appears from my letter, as a fixer, and I employed it
as well to form iodide of lead on glazed cards as an accelerator. Iodide of
lead has of itself, as I form it, considerable photographic properties, and
receives very fair impressions of plants, lace, and drawings when placed
upon it, but with the addition of nitrate of silver and the infusion of galls the
operation is perfect and instantaneous. Pictures thus taken were exhibited at
the Royal Society before Mr. Talbot proposed his iodized paper. The
microscopic photographs exhibited at Lord Northampton's in 1839
remained in his lordship's possession. I subsequently made drawings of
sections of teeth; and one of them, a longitudinal section of a tooth of the
Lamna, was copied on zinc by Mr. Lens Aldous for Owen's 'Odontography.'
I may say this much as to my own approximation to an art, which has
deservedly and by universal consent obtained the name of Talbotype."

Photographic Cautions.—Diffused light being one of the most common
causes of photographic failures, I beg to call the attention of your readers to
the construction of their cameras. Working with a friend, and taking the
same localities, using the same paper and chemicals, his pictures have
proved comparative failures, a general browning pervading the whole,
evidently the effect of light. Every inspection failed to discover it, until the
mode was adopted of putting one of the paper-holders in its position as for
taking a picture, then removing the lens, and, with the aid of the focussing-

bag, looking through the hole where the lens is applied, when light became
visible in many spaces, entirely accounting for these failures. As many such
cameras are now becoming made upon the same sliding construction, every
one should test his apparatus before he commences, for such a one is
entirely useless. Lately also the glass corners for collodion plate-holders in
the dark slides, have been by some makers replaced by a sort of silver
looking wire, but possessing little of that metal. The most minute portion of
the copper in this wire coming in contact with the excited collodion,
produces a decomposition sufficient to spoil any picture. These may appear
trivial things to "make a note of," but as they have caused much vexation to
one who has had some photographic experience, they may still more
perplex a novice; and as you have done so much towards making the
science plain, I hope you will give them space in your forthcoming Number.
Lux in Camera.

A Query respecting Collodion.—I have been making some collodion by Mr.
Tery's process, and have iodized it with a very sensitive medium. The
collodion is very clear and properly diluted. The ether I used had a very
powerful smell of sulphur, and was likewise very strong and volatile. I
diluted it with an equal volume of alcohol. The ether was then still very
strong. The cotton dissolved freely. On mixing the iodizing medium, the
colour of the collodion turns immediately to nearly a port-wine colour, but
still remains very clear. I obtain a very good film of iodide of silver from
the bath, but cannot produce a picture under five or seven minutes, whereas
with the same lens, and the same iodizing medium, viz.

Alcohol 8 drms.
Iodide of potassium 8 grs.
Iodide of ammonium 4 grs.
Iodide of silver ½ gr.

I have obtained beautiful pictures in less than one second with collodion
prepared by the same (Archer's) process. As I have made a quantity of it,
and am unwilling it should be wasted, I have taken the liberty of asking
your opinion on the subject. Do you think the collodion is too new, or the
ether not good? On pouring the developing solution on the plate
(protosulphate of iron), the plate has the appearance of having ink poured

on it; but this appearance is removed on the application of the hyposulphite
of soda, and the plate remains as clear as when it was taken from the nitrate
of silver bath.

The Céroléine Process.—Have any of your photographic correspondents
made such experiments on the céroléine process as to enable them to
communicate the results to "N. & Q."?

Is Mr. Crooke's process for preserving the sensitiveness of collodion
applicable to all collodions? If not, what collodion is best suited for it?
Silex.

Mr. Fox Talbot's Patents.—-The injunction moved for by Mr. Fox Talbot, as
reported in The Times of Saturday last, reminds us of a Query which we
have been sometimes asked, and which may just now be brought forward
with advantage, namely: If Mr. Talbot's patents extend to the collodion
process, how comes it that the earliest practisers of the collodion art had to
make their own researches? We know one skilful photographer whose
experiments were so extensive before he made any tolerable pictures, that
his spoiled glass and cuttings were more than a man could lift.

Replies to Minor Queries.
The Olympic Plain (Vol. ix., p. 270.).—I have just seen, in examining the
contents of a German periodical, that in May, 1853, a proposal was
submitted to the public by Professor Ross, of the University of Halle, for
setting on foot a subscription to defray the expense of making excavations
in Olympia, thus anticipating, by nearly a year, a recent suggestion to the
same effect in "N. & Q." Professor Ross expatiates at considerable length
(see Jahrbücher für Philologie und Pädagogik, vol. lxviii. p. 203.) on the
advantages to be derived, as regards the arts, the literature, and the history
of Greece, from the exploration of so celebrated a spot; but,
notwithstanding all his arguments and eloquence, the amount of the
subscriptions, after the lapse of nine months, only amounted, in February,
1854, to about 38l. As this sum was so utterly inadequate for the object
intended, it was resolved to devote it to excavations in Mykenæ. Professor
Ross takes occasion to pay a high tribute of praise to Lord Aberdeen, for the
service rendered by his Lordship in discovering the treasury at Mykenæ.
The facilities at Olympia for carrying on excavations are stated by Professor
Ross to be very great. It is but a few miles distant from the sea, on the banks
of a navigable river, and opposite to the very populous island of Zante; so
that workmen, and means, and helps of all kinds can easily be procured. It
was intended to give the superintendence of the excavations to Professor
Alexander Rizo Rangabe, of the University of Athens, who was to be
supplied with an adequate staff of artists, &c. Whatever discoveries might
be made, were to become the property of the Greek nation. Travellers were
to be permitted to visit the excavations during their progress, and to see all
that was going on; and it was thought that a considerable number might be
attracted to the spot, as the Austrian steamers convey passengers weekly in
three or four days from Trieste to the western coast of the Morea.

Encyclopædia of Indexes, or Table of Contents (Vol. ix., p. 371.).—Your
correspondent Thinks I to Myself inquires respecting the desirableness and
practicability of forming an "Encyclopædia of Indexes, or Tables of

Contents." It was to meet this want (which is very commonly felt) that the
publication of the Cyclopædia Bibliographica was undertaken. The work
has met your approval, and I have the pleasure of announcing that the
volume will be completed on June 1. I think it will meet the desire of your
correspondent and many others, who, "in reading up on any subject, wish to
know whether any author treats upon it, without being obliged to examine
his works, at a great expense of time and labour."

"One New Year's Day" (Vol. ix., p. 467.).—The lines quoted by Mr.
Skyring are the opening lines of an old ballad, entitled "Richard of Taunton
Dean, or Dumble Dum Deary." It may be found in Ancient Poems, Ballads,
and Songs of the Peasantry of England, edited (for the Percy Society) by J.
H. Dixon, Esq., who says:

"This song is very popular with the country people in every part of
England, but more particularly so with the inhabitants of Somerset,
Devon, and Cornwall. There are many different versions."

In the notes to his volume, Mr. Dixon mentions two Irish versions of this
ballad, communicated to him by T. C. Croker, Esq., one of which, entitled
"Last New Year's Day," is almost verbatim with the English ballad. The
other version (which is given by Mr. D.) is entitled "Dicky of Ballyman."

Unregistered Proverbs (Vol. ix., p. 235.).—The following I find among the

In answer to some remarks of mine on the necessary infirmities of old age,
one of them replied, "You cannot have two forenoons in the same day." And
on another occasion, in answer to my saying that something ought to be
done, although it was not, there came, "Oughts are nothings unless they've
strokes to them."

Orange Blossoms (Vol. viii., p. 341.; Vol. ix., p. 386.).—I have seen it stated

least from the East, and that they were thus employed as emblems of
fecundity.

Peculiar Use of the Word "Pure" (Vol. viii., p. 125.).—Your correspondent
is evidently not a Gloucestershire man. The word pure is commonly used in
that county to express being in good health. I remember an amusing
instance, which occurred many years ago. A gentleman, a friend of mine,
who resided in an establishment where young ladies were educated, was
met one day by an honest farmer; who, after inquiring kindly for his own
health, said with equal good nature and simplicity, "I hope, Zur, the ladies
be all pure."

Worm in Books (Vol. viii., p. 412.).—Alethis is presented with the
following recipe from a very curious old French book of receipts and
secrets for everything connected with arts and trades. Put some powdered
colocynth into a phial, and cover the mouth with parchment pierced with
holes. With this the books should be powdered, and from time to time
beaten to drive out the powder, when the same process must be repeated.

Chapel Sunday (Vol. vii., p. 527.).—Not having received an answer to my
Query of the origin of the celebration of Chapel Sunday in the Lake district,
I would venture a surmise which some Cumbrian antiquary will perhaps
correct, if wrong. I take it to be the day in honour of the patron saint of the
chapel: and now, when such festivals are little observed, it has been
changed to the nearest Sunday. In this thinly populated district, and where,
from its mountainous and rugged character, travelling before the formation
of the present good roads was neither agreeable nor (probably) safe, "at
chapel" was the only time many of the inhabitants saw each other. Meeting,
therefore, on so auspicious a day as that of the patron saint, might in
"merrie time" of old induce a little festivity.

Gutta Percha made soluble (Vol. ix., p. 350.).—E. B. can procure at any
chemist's establishment a solution of gutta percha in chloroform, which may
answer the purpose required by him. It is used by medical men as a dressing
for abrasion in the skin of bed-ridden persons, and is applied with a camel's-
hair brush. It hardens on being applied, and produces an artificial skin,
which saves the patient from farther suffering in the place to which it has
been applied.
Experto Crede.

Naphtha will render gutta percha soluble; and if needed to be used as a
varnish, it is only necessary to make a solution in a closed vessel, and apply
it with a brush. The naphtha will evaporate and leave a thin coating of
firmly-adhering gutta percha behind.

Impe (Vol. viii., pp. 443. 623.).—This epithet has been much discussed, but
I think that no reference has been made to the following remarkable
instances of its application.

In the Beauchamp Chapel at St. Mary's Warwick is the altar-tomb and
effigy of the infant son of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, with a long
inscription, which begins:

"Heere resteth the body of the noble impe Robert of Dudley, Baronet
of Denbigh, sonne of Robert, Erle of Leycester, nephew and heire unto
Ambrose, Erle of Warwike."

In a letter from Edinburgh, dated 5th November, 1578, John Aleyn to the
Bishop of Carlisle, writes of "the goodly young Imp their King," who was
afterwards our James I.; and the Earl of Shrewsbury in 1585 writes of "my
wife and her imps," the lady being his energetic Countess Elizabeth

Hardwick, widow of Sir William Cavendish. (See Lodge's Illustrations of

[Our correspondent Σ. begs us to acknowledge the favour of the communication of Ἁλιεύς, but his

He is informed it is to be found in the Transactions of the University of Basle in Switzerland,
published with this title, Die Zeitschrift der Basler Hochschule, 1825, p. 62; but he has not been
successful in obtaining a sight of that work.]

Jacobite Garters (Vol. viii., p. 586.).—I have lately seen a watch-ribbon, or
perhaps garter, with a Jacobite inscription in white letters somewhat like
that described by E. L. J., but only about half the length. The middle stripe
was red between two blue ones, and yellow edges; there was no attempt at a
plaid. The owner had no tradition about it, as connected with any particular
incident in Prince Charles' career.

"The Three Pigeons" (Vol. ix., p. 423.).—I think Washington Irving, in his
Life of Goldsmith, satisfactorily explains the origin of the song in She
Stoops to Conquer, which your correspondent G. Taylor supposes was
suggested by the inn at Brentford, mentioned by Dr. Rimbault. The
American biographer says that Goldsmith and his companion Bryanton

"Got up a country club at the inn at Ballymahon, of which Goldsmith
soon became the oracle and prime wit; astonishing his unlettered
associates by his learning, and being considered capital at a song and
story. From the rustic conviviality of the inn at Ballymahon, and the
company which used to assemble there, it is surmised that he took
some hints in afterlife for his picturing of Tony Lumpkin and his
associates, 'Dick Muggins the exciseman, Jack Slang the horse doctor,
Little Aminadab that grinds the music-box, and Tom Twist that spins
the pewter-platter.' Nay, it is thought that Tony's drinking-song at the
'Three Jolly Pigeons' was but a revival of one of the convivial catches
at Ballymahon."

And the author farther remarks, that

"Though Goldsmith ultimately rose to associate with birds of a finer
feather, his heart would still yearn in secret after the 'Three Jolly
Pigeons.'"

If this be correct, as it most likely is, the song referred to, and the scene it
illustrates, were not suggested by the inn at Brentford.

The alehouse situate at Lishoy in Ireland, where Goldsmith's father was
vicar, was, no doubt, "The Three Pigeons" of She Stoops to Conquer. There
is a sketch of it in the Tourist's Handbook for Ireland, p. 175. The author
refers to Mr. John Forster's Life of Goldsmith, which I have not at hand.

Corporation Enactments (Vol. ix., p. 300.).—It is an easy, but generally an
unsafe thing to quote from quotations. Abhba should have referred to The
Dublin Penny Journal, vol. i. p. 226., for his extracts from the Town Books
of the Corporation of Youghal, co. Cork; and, even then, might have made
farther reference to Crofton Croker's Researches in the South of Ireland, p.
160., whence the paragraph (unacknowledged) was introduced into The
Dublin Penny Journal. Mr. Croker, moreover, fell into error with respect to

the dates of these curious enactments, which were long antecedent to 1680
and 1703. I have seen them in the original (Book A), and vouch for the
accuracy of the subjoined:

"1613-14. Thomas Geoffry made a freeman (being a barber), on
condition that he should trim every freeman for sixpence per ann.

"1622. John Bayly made free, on condition to dress the dinners of the
several Mayors."

I may give you some farther extracts from a MS. Note Book relative to this
corporation at a future period.

The Passion of our Lord dramatised (Vol. ix., p. 373.).—A drama on the
Passion of Christ (the first specimen of the kind that has descended to our
days) is attributed to St. Gregory of Nazianzum, but is more probably the
production of Gregory of Antioch (A.D. 572). It is described by most of the
ecclesiastical writers: Tillemont, Baillet, Baronius, Bellarmin, Dupin,
Vossius, Rivet, Labbæus, Ceillier, Fleury, &c.

In 1486, when La Mistère de la Passion, or the Passion of our Saviour, was
exhibited at Antwerp, the beholders were astonished by five different
scaffolds, each having several stages rising perpendicularly: paradise was
the most elevated, and it had two stages. But even this display was eclipsed
by another exhibition of The Passion, where no fewer than nine scaffolds
were displayed to the wondering gaze of the people.

In 1556, according to Strype (Life of Sir Thos. Pope, Pref. p. vii.), the
Passion of Christ was represented at the Grey Friers in London, on Corpus
Christi Day, before the Lord Mayor, the Privy Council, and many great
persons of the realm. Again, the same historian informs us (Ecclesiastical
Memorials, iii. c. xlix.) under the date 1557:

"The Passion of Christ was acted at the Grey Friers on the day that war
was proclaimed against France, and in honour of that occasion."

It is generally considered that the last miracle play represented in England
was that of Christ's Passion, in the reign of James I., which Prynne informs
us was—

"Performed at Elie House in Holborne, when Gondomar lay there, on
Good Friday at night, at which there were thousands present."

Busby's idea, "that the manner of reciting and singing in the theatres formed
the original model of the Church service," is as absurd as it is untenable.
Edward F. Rimbault.

It is said that Apollonarius of Laodicea (A.D. 362), and Gregory of
Nazianzum not much later, dramatised our Lord's Passion. Many, however,
regard the Christus Patiens, ascribed to Gregory, as spurious. The Passion
of our Lord was represented in the Coliseum at Rome as much as six
centuries ago. The subject was a favourite one in Italy. In France, "The
Fraternity of the Passion of our Saviour" received letters patent from
Charles VI. in 1402. Their object was to perform moralities or mysteries, i.
e. plays on sacred subjects. In 1486, the Chapter of the Church at Lyons
gave sixty livres to those who had played the mystery of the Passion of our
Lord Jesus Christ. In 1518, Francis I. confirmed by letters patent the
privileges of the Confrères de la Passion: one of their pieces, reprinted in
1541, is entitled Le Mystère de la Passion de N. S. J. C. The same subject
was common in Spain and Germany. In England the Coventry mysteries,
&c. partook of the same character. The Cotton MS. (Vespasian, b. viii.) and
the Chester Whitsun plays (Harleian MS. 2013.) would probably afford
information which I cannot now give. So late as 1640, Sandys wrote a
tragedy, on a plan furnished by Grotius, upon Christ's Passion. A little
research would give H. P. a number of similar facts.

If your correspondent wishes for authority for the fact of our blessed Lord's
Passion being dramatised, he will find an example in Gregor. Naz., the

Hardman's Account of Waterloo (Vol. ix., pp. 176. 355.).—Lieutenant
Samuel Hardman was present with the 7th Hussars at the cavalry actions of
Sahagun (Dec. 21, 1808) and Benevente (Dec. 29, 1808), previous to his
appointment, May 19, 1813, as Cornet, Royal Waggon Train, "from
serjeant-major, 7th Light Dragoons." I was in error in stating that he was
appointed "Lieutenant and Adjutant, Dec. 15, 1814, in the 10th Hussars, in
which he had commenced his military career." The 10th and 15th Hussars
were in action at Sahagun and Benevente, but Mr. Hardman never served in
the 10th Hussars until December 1814.

Query, Why is Sahagun not to be found on the appointments of the 10th
Hussars, as well as on those of the 15th Hussars, as both regiments were

Coleridge's Christabel (Vol. vii., pp. 206. 292.; Vol. viii., pp. 11. 111.; Vol.

have been lost sight of, and has not as yet received a reply. Will you kindly
permit me to renew it?

In the European Magazine for April, 1815, there appeared a poem entitled
"Christobell: a Gothic tale. Written as a sequel to a beautiful legend of a fair
lady and her father, deceived by a witch in the guise of a noble knight's
daughter." It is dated "March, 1815," and signed "V.," and was reprinted in
Fraser's Magazine for January, 1835. It commences thus:

"Whence comes the wavering light which falls
On Langdale's lonely Chapel-walls?
The noble mother of Christobell
Lies in that lone and drear chapelle."

Query, What is known of the history and authorship of this poem?

It will be observed from the dates, that the sequel appeared in print before
Christabel was published by Coleridge.

Δ. Has our Correspondent consulted the Rev. J. Blunt's Vestiges of Ancient
Customs and Manners in Modern Italy and Sicily, 8vo. 1823?

H. Edwards. The epithet referred to is an obvious corruption of an
extremely coarse one, formerly applied to all who refused to wear the oak-
apple on the 29th of May.

Tom King. Monsieur Tonson was written by the late John Taylor, the well-
known editor of The Sun, and will be found in the collection of his poems.

W. S., A Topographer, and P. B. For a person to be eligible to the
"Antiquarian Photographic Club," he must be a Fellow of the Royal or
Antiquarian Societies, or a member of the Royal Institution, and be
unanimously elected. This rule, after much consideration, was decided by
its promoters. A few others than Photographers are admitted, who join the
excursions, and are required to furnish the notes, historical and literary, of
the spots visited.

H. H. (Glasgow) is thanked for the kind manner in which he speaks of our
services to photography.

L. L. However imperfect the specimens of your skill, we shall be glad to
receive them. If all who, like you, have benefited by the photographic
articles which have appeared in our columns, would send us, in
acknowledgment, some of their productions, our portfolio would be better
filled than it is.

stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete,
inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other

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.

of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue
Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is

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.
