In hopes of being ‘ taken in hand’ by his * Maker,’ And of being thoroughly ‘ cleaned, repaired ’ and ‘ set a-going’ In the world to come.” Vol. i. p. 305.
This is accompanied by one of a similar techni- cal character on a chemist, which is too long and too little to the point for insertion.
But the epitaph to which we may suppose |
Franklin to have been immediately indebted for the idea he has so thoroughly made his own, is one said to have been written by an “ Eton scholar” upon a bookseller, not less celebrated than the great American. This I transcribe from a book entitled—
“Travels of Four Years and a Half in the United States of America, 1798-1802. By John Davis. London, 1808,” Svo.
Here is recorded an amusing dispute which is alleged to have taken place at the Washington Tavern between “ half a dozen Virginians and a few New England men,” as to the merits and especially the originality of Dr. Franklin. After some preliminary skirmishing, in which it is asserted that the celebrated line—
“ Eripuit clo fulmen, sceptrumque tyranni” was “an eruption of mad enthusiasm from the disordered intellect of Turgot,” the Virginian offers to maintain and prove that “Franklin isa plagiarist— a downright, barefaced, shameless plagiarist.”” In support of this position, he agrees alee his “chicka- saw ” hack against the New England man’s bay mare, and wins his wager by proving from the Pole- mical Discourses of Jeremy Taylor, a copy of which he opportunely has in his portmanteau, that Franklin borrowed from the English theologian
Hic jacet bibliopola, Folio vite delapso, Expectans Novam Editionem Auctiorem et E-mendatiorem.”
The New England man is outrageous; and the triumphant Virginian, to give his antagonist another chance, offers to stake his boots that “ Franklin’s pretended discovery of calming trou- bled waters by pouring upon them oil may be found in the third book of Bede’s History of the Church, or that his facetious essay on the air-bath is poached word for word from Aubrey’s Miscel- lanies.”” But the New England man has had enough, and not wishing to go bootless home, wisely de- clines to “ lay any more wagers about Dr. Franklin's originality.” In this case, as I have remarked above, no reference is given to the source of the epitaph on Tonson, and the last vain-glorious challenge of the Virginian may afford us a hint as to its value and origin. Is there such an inscrip- tion; and if so, who was the “ Eton boy” who wrote it?
An epitaph on a farrier is recorded as from
| Clewer churchyard near Windsor, but without
date, by the editor of the Recreative Review : — “ My sledge and hammer lie declin’d, My bellows too have lost their wind ; My fire’s extinct, my forge decay’d, My vice is in the dust now laid, My coal is spent, my iron gone, My nails are drove, my work is done.” Vol. ii. p. 399. A similar epitaph on a blacksmith is, if I re- member rightly, to be found in Aston church- yard near to this town. Two or three technical epitaphs on watch-
| makers are given by E. J. Wood in his Curiosities
his celebrated Parable against Persecution. The |
Epitaph next comes under discussion, and the horse being gone, the New England man offers to stake his now useless saddle on the exclusive right of the Doetor to this admired composition. To this the Virginian states that “it was not honestly come by. Franklin robbed a little boy of it,”— and tle saddle goes the way of the bay mare, as he
of Clocks and Watches (8vo, 1866), among which is the one I have cited above from the Polyan- thea. From this it may be learnt that the name of the watchmaker was George Routleigh, the date 1802, and the place Lydford in Devonshire.
Reference may also be made to Songs of the Press an& other Poems, 8vo, 1833. Here is an
| epitaph on Oscar Meader in a church at Berlin—
proceeds to read—unfortunately we are not |
favoured with the authority—the following in- scription :— “ Vite volumine peracto, Hic finis Jacont Tonson, Perpoliti Sosiorum principis : Qui, velut obstetrix musarum, In lucem edidit Felices ingenii partus.

being recast in a better and more perfect mould”; and others, like the foregoing, dateless, on anony- mous pressmen and compositors. There is, I may
| here note, another altogether different .book,
though bearing the same title :—
“Songs of the Press and other Poems relative to the Art of Printers and Printing, also of Authors, Books, Booksellers, Bookbinders, Editors, Critics, Newspapers, &c. Original and Selected, with Notes Biographical and Literary. London: Fisher, Son, & Co., 1845,” sm. 8vo.

considered a second edition of the former ; I never- theless regard it as a different work. To return: in this volume will be found a curious history of a printer, in verse, full of technical allusions and terms, and concluding with the lines :— “Then haste, kind Death, in pity to my age,
And clap the Finis to my life’s last page.

And raise my form above the etherial skies. * oe * .

do so I would fain cite, among the avowed paro- |
dies of Franklin’s epitaph, that made for himself by the unfortunate dibliomane, whose fate has been so touchingly recorded by that genial and elegant bibliographer, Charles Nodier. Here the luckless man, having mistaken the date of a book sale, and arriving at the scene of action a day too late, found that all its coveted treasures had be-
come the prizes of more punctual collectors—Str |
Richard Heber of course among them—went chap- fallen home, and died of the disappointment :— “Cr Git Sous sa Re.ivure pe Bors Un Exempcarre 1N-Fouio De LA MEILLEURE &DITION : DE L’HomME, Ecrite DANS UNE LANGUE DE 1’ AGE D'OR QuE LE MoNDE NE COMPREND PLUS. C'EST AUJOURD'HUI Un Bovquin

In conclusion, whatever claims to originality Franklin’s epitaph may possess—and one does not look for much in mortuary inscriptions—it is most elegant and perfect in its composition.

DINNERS “ 4 LA RUSSI
When was this fashion of dining introduced among us = I recollect it was adopted by a lew high families about forty years ago: and I used to hear that the noble and amiable John, Earl of Shrewsbury, was the first > rson of note wh patronised it. I own | ~ ey wish it had never found its ee Pa ae rland, to the subversion of our good old Ji 1 Bull dinners. To me it is a perfect nuisance. The only recommendation all plausible in my view is, that it saves the trouble of carving these principally at the ends of the table. This, however, is of sma weight when set against the inconvenier dured by the ¢ mnpany in gene ral. I to see the smoking surloin and the goodly , the table, and all the other Sleins and to see the carving done on the table by the master an d the lady of the feast, and by each one who has a joint before him. Who has not enjoyed Boswell’s account of the first meeting of Wilkes and John- son ? —
“Mr. Wilkes w very assiduous in helping him to some fine veal: ‘ Pray ive me leave, sir—It i ett here—A little the brown—Some fat, sir—A litt! the stuffing—Som ravy—Let me have the pleasure giving you butter — Allow me to recommend a squeeze « tl is ora ; or the lemon, perhay more zest.
Now see the happy effect : —
“<¢Sir, sir, I am obliged to vou, sir,’ cried Johnson, bowing, and turning his head to him with a lo« or so! time of ‘surly virtue,’ but, in a short while, of placency.”
Even the ‘chur! t Johnson wa irly subdued, and he 1 Wilkes soon became even
great friend
Now, how would it have gone on in our days at a ee r ala Russe? The old piece of p m- posity and surliness would have had to sit with his hands be fore him in wnpatient expegtation of something to be offered by a servant to his choice: and Wilke: s, burning ‘witl eager desire to find some means of propitiating the idolised churl, might have found no opportunity to the very end of the long tedious banquet. These dinners are, to my taste, every way uncomfortable. It is un- pleasant to have to wait, wait, wait, between each arrival of something, for your employment. A
oe lamb, sir ?
waiter brings two plates in his hand: “ Beef or |
,
’ and when you choose one, the other hopelessly disappears; though it might easily happen that you would like to partake of that also. Then you can have no chance of choosing any part which you may prefer. No hope of “a little of the brown,” or of finding it “ better here” or there. You are at the mercy of the waiters who are carving, and who send you what they please, not what you might choose. If you sit down, as one should, to dinner with a good appe- tite, you are tantalised all through with little bits at a time; and obliged to en lure a wretched suspension after each morsel, l trust to satisfy- ing your hunger by an aggregate of small snatches as the dinner drags along.
It will often happen again—to the mortification of a man who wants to eat, as well as to sit and talk, and look at the dessert and the flowers and ornaments—-that, of the dishes brought round, two or three or more in succession may not suit his taste or his stomach. He refuses them, and must then wait and take his turn for something that he may like to come r un 1, ten minutes or a nate of an hour after he has eaten anything;
hen his patience not his { tite, is all but
austed. In the ph old ae he would see von send for what suited him, without interrup-
m to the meal, and without risk of the stomach
ling.

Deroe’s “Trug-sorn Enoiisnman.”—In Mr. James Grant’s recently published history of The Newspaper Press (i. 92) is the following reference to this work : —
“ The object of the poetic effusion, or rather effusion in thyme, was to hold up foreigners to ridicule, and to eulogise King William as the best of men and the very model of a monarch.”
This statement is erroneous so far as relates to holding up foreigners to ridicule. The object was rather to hold up to ridicule those who, being descended from the various invaders of England, opposed, as true-born Englishmen, the farther settlement of foreigners in England.
One of Defoe’s biographers, in the preface to his Voyage round the World, has the following remarks : —
“The work by which he is most distinguished as a poet, is his 7rue-born Englishman—a satire occasioned by a poem entitled ‘Foreigners,’ written by John Tuchin, Esq.
“ Soon after the revolution, the people who are restless in their inclinations, and loathe that to-day for which they wduld yesterday have sacrificed their lives, began to be uneasy at the partiality their new king discovered to his countrymen.
“The popular discontent rose to such a height that King William was obliged to dismiss his Dutch guards; and tho’ he died in possession of the crown of England, yet it proved to him a crown of thorns, and he spent fewer peaceful moments in his regal station than before his head was environed by an uneasy diadem.
“Mr. Defoe, who had a very true notion of civil liberty, engaged the enemies of the new government and levelled the force of his satire against those who value themselves for being true-born Englishmen. He exposes the fallacy of that prepossession by laying open the sources whence the English have sprung. . He enumerates the several nations whence we are derived, Gauls, Saxons, Danes, Irish, Scots, &c., and says —
* From this amphibious ill-born mob began
That vain, ill-natured thing, an Englishman.’ ”

Oaken ARCHITECTURE.—At Newdegate, near Dorking, is a very extraordinary piece of eccle- siastical architecture in the belfry tower, which [ believe has never yet been described. It is to be visited in July by the Surrey Archeo- | logical Society, when I trust that many gentle- men will be assembled fully competent to appre- ciate its curiosity, and to illustrate it by their remarks, I do not presume to give a technical
description, but I understand that its peculiar feature is this—that it stands upon horizontal beams or sleepers, and is framed together of solid trees forming pointed arches, entirely with tree- nails, and without any other material. It is a very remarkable example of such architecture as the abundance of timber in a forest country suggested ;

Queries. ABP. PARKER, “DE ANTIQUITATE BRITAN- NICE ECCLESLZ&,” 1572.
A rare and curious book is before me : —
“De Antiquitate Britannice Ecclesie & Priuilegis | Ecclesie Cantuariensis, cum Archiepiscopis eiusdem. 70,
An. Dom. 1572. & Excusum Londini in edibus Johan- nis Day.” | This title is within a wide and handsome de- vice, in which are various emblematical figures, each labelled beneath: Ptolemeus, Aratus, Hip- parchus, Geometria, and Arithmetica, being on the left side; and on the right, Marinus, Strabo, Polibius, Astronomia, and Musica. Over the title is a terrestrial globe, supported on each side by Ptolemeus and Marinus. Above it Time ap- pears, with his scythe raised to cut, attended by three other figures: one a damsel, with handker- chief to her eyes, is in a black garment. Below, & figure of Mercurius supports a frame, within which we read:
“ Absentem qui rodit amicum ; Qui non defendit, alio culpante ; solutos Qui captat risus hominum, famamq’ dicacis ; Fingere qui non visa potest; commissa tacere Qui nequit; hic niger est, hune, tu Romane, caveto,”
It is on vellum, and the figures are brightly coloured. A cutting from a catalogue is inserted, which teils us —
“ The volume is one of the rarest and most interesting Only 21 copies could be traced by Dr. Drake, when he exe- cuted an edition in 1729; and the like number only could be found after the minute researches of Mr. Martin. The present is a very interesting and peculiar copy, although it has many leaves supplied in MS.* by a co- temporary hand of the time of printing. It has the

May I ask if any correspondents of “ N. & Q.” can refer me to any account of “the minute re- searches of Mr. Martin” in connection with this book ? € copies mentioned to be found? Is there a perfect copy of the work in our great national collection ? And what is its present value, either in a perfect or imperfect state ?
I have also before me a copy of the book printed —
« Hanovie: Typis Wechelianus, apud Claud Marmine & beredes Joannis Aubrii, M.pc.v."”— with the device of the printer above it. It is more like the larger than the smaller specimen figured in Dibdin’s Bibliographical Decameron (ii. 69), though without the encircling wreath. On each side, at the base of the cornucopias, ig a large monogram “ W.” and “‘ A.” interlaced. The same is repeate d at the end of the book. This is per- fect (pp. 358 and index). At the end of the introduction, on pp. 37, 58, are large woodcuts. The arms of the various bishoprics are arranged with those of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York. Those of Abp. Parker are oa a large scale.
I should add that, in the first-named book, a fine old portrait of Abp. Parker is inserted on a blank page before the coloured title. It is a half- length: he is seated, turning over an open book (? Bible), at a table, on which is also a writing box (very like a modern tea-chest), a bell, and (what looks like) a large stamp. On a window- ledge, at his right hand, is an hour-glass. The portrait is in an oval frame; around it, in small capitals : —

[The history of this rare and curious volume has been frequently discussed by bibliographers and others. The share of Archbishop Parker in its compilation has been a matter of considerable dispute. In one of his letters
he states it to have been the amusement of his leisure hours; and Dr. Drake, in the preface to his edition (1729), is of opinion that Parker himself was the author,
but received assistance from Dr. George Ackworth and Josselyn, his secretary. In Masters’s History of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (edit. 1831, p. 111), there is a discussion of the authorship of this book at considerable length. It is said that only twenty-two copies were printed by John Day; but in all probability there were fifty. A list of those existing at the present time is given in Martin’s Catalogue of Privately Printed Books, edit. 1854, pp. 3 to§. A presentation copy to Queen Elizabeth, bound in embroidered velvet, as well as Lord Arundel’s, are in the British Museum, and another in the Grenville library. It is remarkable that scarcely any two copies of this rare book entire ly agree in their con- tents, Consult Osborne’s Catalogus Bibliotheca Harleiane, il. pp. 2 to 4, an article probably by William Oldys; Hook’s Lives of the Archbishops of Cante rbury, ix. 505;

BurtaL Customs.—At Exford, near Minehead, Somerset, ten years ago, it had been usual for burials to take place on Sundays, the burial ser- vice being dovetailed into the usual afternoon service thus: —The corpse being brought into church was placed in front of the reading-desk, and remained there during the service. The burial psalms were read in lieu of the psalms for the day, and the burial lesson in lieu of the second lesson. The burial service was concluded after the sermon, and the entire congregation would generally remain to the end.
This custom I was told had prevailed for years, beyond the memory of the oldest inhabitant—
and that would have been very nearly a century,
as there were nonagenarians, if not centenarians, living there at that time—and not only in Exford, but in all the parishes on Exmoor; and notwith- standing that I endeavoured to show unto the people “a more excellent way,” especially by asking them to have their burials on week-days, they were strongly attached to the custom, and I should not be surprised if it prevails there still— so inveterate does an old custom become.
It would be interesting to know whether the same has been “the use” in other districts.
In one or two parishes, I think at Handsworth, near Sheffield, and at Exford, but am now quite uncertain, it was customary to carry the corpse within the communion-rails, where the bearers turned and carried it back again to its usual resting- place near the door. Can any readers inform me in what parishes this custom obtains, and what was the origin and significance of it? Has it
originated in a superstitious feeling, in pre-refor- ‘

1. % Ste Paule ora pro aiabus Henrici Pudsey et Margarete consorte sue,
2. %& Sce Ioline baptis. ora pro aiabus Iotine Pudsey milite et Marie consorte sue. h
I cannot find in the Escheat Roll Calendars any mention of these worthies, but I am informed they were of Bolton Hall; that one of the family, Sir Ralph Pudsey, sheltered Henry VI. a long time, and it was at a ford close to Clitheroe that the poor king was betrayed by a Talbot(?) of Bushall, after which he was taken to London and put to death. The loyal Pudsey lies at Bolton under a slab of mountain limestone, engraved with the figures of himself, his three wives and twenty- five children—all portrayed in the habits of their several positions in life. The glove, boot, and
| silver-gilt spoon left by Henry at Bolton are still
part of this proverb which relates to Essex. The first |
says the inclosures in Essex are very small, and the | stiles, consequently, very frequent, and being also very high and bad, are extremely troublesome to strangers. The other is, that by stiles are meant narrow bridg

Complainant, who resides at Mountain Ash, deposed that she had been on distant terms with defendant for several weeks, during which period the latter had assumed a rather hostile spirit towards Mrs. Flowers by going to ber house, and reproving her frequently for some seem- ingly imaginary offence. On the Ist of April, finding that matters had reached an unpleasant climax, the com- plainant declined any further parley, and anxious to avoid pointed quarrelling, suspended a brush outside her joor. This proved an additional incentive towards in- creasing defendant’s rage, and she resorted to violence.— Mr. Fowler asked why the brush had been hung out of the door, to which the complainant said that it signified no wish to quarrel, and in her part of the country ( Bath) sweeping’ medium of peace was frequently adopted. It was a symbol of a desire for peace, and if persons had offensive communications to make * they must please to address it to the brush.’—Mr. Simons also remarked that it was intended as a caution for persons to put on their best manners.—Corroborative evidence was given of the assault, after which defendant proceeded to cross-examine her adversary, and subsequently, with much warmth, denounced another witness as a wicked, bad slut, em- phasising this expression by a heavy whack with her fist n the edge of the dock; at which point his worship jocularly interposed, remarking that if Mrs. Warren per sisted in such a spirit the Bench must really send for a brush.

The question whether this person is dead, aske| by your correspondent MAKROCHEIR, is not likely to occupy the mind of Mr. THorNBURY or f&my one else for long: as his death or life cannot aflect the question of his relations with
the name of Chatterton, from which alone he derives what interest he may possess for the lovers of literature. It is, however, well worth tae while of careful investigators to ascertain
whether the writer in question has succeeded in producing so inextricable a confusion as Mr. r'norNBURY despondently describes at the close of his interesting paper. Surely in these days of rigid and exact inquiry it is not beyond possi- bility to separate fact from fiction, even in so “ con- fused, entangled, and corrupted” a biography as Dix’s Life of Chatterton; and one need not hesi- tate to answer in the affirmative MAkRocnHErR’s question—“ As to his romancing about Chatter- ton, does it much matter?” ‘To MAKROCHEIR personally, however, it clearly does not ; inasmuch as he says he shall be “ infinitely obliged to any one who will find” for him a verse of what he deems poetry in all Chatterton’s writings—which is something like asking to be shown particular instances of dramatic power in Shakespeare.

to appreciate Chatterton’s poetry. If he is blind to Wordsworth’s honesty, which lies on the very face of all he ever did, he may well be blind to the equally patent beauty of much of Chatterton’s poetry —beauty which it is, therefore, bootless to point out to him in detail.
Me. H. S. Sxreton, in his search for small in- uceuracies in Mr. THoRNBURY’s paper, has shown more alacrity than acumen. In the first place he finds fault wit h Mr. Toorneury’s description of the first e of Dix’s Life, as beinyy an 8vo

Mr. THornsvry calls correctly enough a “short 8vo.” . Skrpton had looked at the signa- ild have found that they occur once

HUBERT DE BURGH, temp. JOHN.
(4" 8S. ix. 219, 286, 330, 356.)
[I see at p. 356 a note from Tewars in which some genealogical statements of mine, as to my family name, are spoken of as replete with errors. Now in the first place the blame, if blame there be, rests with Sir William Betham, as the follow- ing shows : —
“T, Sir William Betham, Knight, attendant on the most illustrious Order of St. Patrick, Ulster King of Arms, and principal herald of all Ireland, do hereby certify that the foregoing pedigree of the family of De Burgh is faithfully extracted from the records of my office, and pared therewith this 17th day of July, 1848.
“ W. Bernam, Ulster King of Arms of all Ireland.
«
This pedigree was made out on the occasion of my father and his brothers, &c., taking the name of De Burgh instead of Burgh. Vide Dublin Gazette, March 6, 1848; War Office, London, do. May 25.
Now let us see exactly what Sir Wm. Betham asserts, Trwars says that Arlotta’s husband’s name was De Conteville: I always understood he was so called because the family were hereditary counts of towns, villes, or burghs of Normandy; in which case Harlowen’s title might be either De Ville or De Burgh. Be this as it may, Betham’s pedigree goes on as follows: —
“ Harlowen de Burgh = Ariotta.
Robert de Burgh, or de Burgo, created Earl of Kent by his brother the Conqueror.
17 . ° . , William de Burgh, or de Burgo, Earl of Cornwall.
Adelmus de Burgh, or de Burgo. | Hubert de Burgh, or de Burgo, ek | Hubert de Burgh (the justiciary).”
Now (according to Sir William) Fitz Adelm de Burgo, who went to Ireland with Henry IL, was the second son of Adelm de Burgo, the grand- father of the justiciary. If, as TEWARs says, neither Harlowen the Conqueror's step-father, nor Fitz Adelm the chief governor of Ireland, had the name of De Burgh, how does it come that the immediate descendants of both have that name? Surely the Earl of Kent and Odo, the Conqueror’s half-brothers, were De Burghs. Surely the Earls of Ulster, the immediate descendants of Fitz Adelm, bore the name also.
I do not wish to trespass too much on your space ; but, if Tewars wishes, I can give him any further information, at least as far as Sir Wm. Betham’s document goes. I am no antiquary, and will be much obliged to Tewars if he will set me right; as it is very difficult to find much information on genealogy among the Irish gentry, who are, as a rule, more apt to talk about their origin than to prove their claims.

Lorp Lrevrenant (4* S. ix. 220, 249, 283, $26, 373.)—This, as a philological question, is not uninteresting, and, though nearly exhausted, not quite so.
Writers on English history differ as to the plural of the word. Hallam, as G. M. T. has pointed out, used “Lords Lieutenant.” Rapin speaks of “ Lord Lieutenants,” * Lords Lieutenants.”
and Clarendon of | So that there is authority |
of a kindred character for each form contended |
for. The first of these forms, however, must, as it seems to me, be discarded, for it assumes the word Lieutenant to be an adjective. But it is surely not allowable to argue in favour of this assumption. [i.M.’s Lieutenants of the Navy and Army might be left to do battle, if necessary, for their substantive rank ; but the matter is con- lluded by the fact that the correct legal designa- tion of the office in question is “ Lieutenant of the County,” the word “ Lord Lieutenant” being used in common parlance to distinguish that par- ticular species of Lieutenant either from all other Lieutenants, or merely from the Vice or Deputy Lieutenants. This, then, seems to dispose of Hallam’s form of plural.
As to the others, if “ Lord Lieutenant” is one compound word, Rapin’s usage is correct. If it consists of two distinct and separate words, Cla- rendon’s plural should be adopted, unless indeed, as suggested by Mr. Oaxtey, “ Lord” should be considered an adjective. I submit, however, that so violent an assumption ag this is unnecessary. The fact that many Commoners hold Lieutenan- cies of Counties shows that the word “ Lord” does not in this instance mean “ Peer,” and it seems to follow that it is merely a pretix showing the dignity of the office; and taking all the analogous titles which occur to one’s mind—Lord Mayors, Lord Chancellors, Lord Keepers, Lord Wardens, Lord Bishops, Lords Marchers, and Lords Justices, the weight of evidence seems strongly in favour of the compound, as against the double substantive, and the plural will in that case be “ Lord-Lieutenants.”
“Lords Justices” has been stereotyped by the |
Act of Parliament creating the office. “Lords Marchers” is apparently made up of
two substantives in apposition, and like many |
other legal terms has a somewhat barbarous sound, and is now obsolete.
The Lords of the Treasury are, I believe, tech- nically styled “Lords Commissioners.” But in this case the word Lords is by common consent adopted as the principal substantive, the second word being dropped in common parlance. C. S.
The following is a confirmation of my statement (p. 326) that the official designation of a lieutenant of a county is not that of “ Lord Lieutenant ” :—

Gray Friars oF BEwMAKAN (Brecum ACHAN?) (4% 8. ix. 360.)—I should suggest that the Fran- ciscan Friary at Bewmakan, dedicated to St, Columba, and the cell at Furness mentioned by Pope Eugenius IV. in his bull, 1153, are two dis- tinct houses. The latter is dedicated to St. Cair- pre, a disciple of St. Patrick, to whom the cell at Kilchairpre, co. Sligo, was dedicated. A curious question arises respecting St. Cairpre. Is he the son of Cairpre Mac Nell who gave St. Patrick Granard, co. Longford, to erect a church, where a certain wicked woman presented him with a hound served up in a dish for his dinner, which, when he examined, he suspected that he had been mali- ciously presented with an unclean animal, and kneeling on a certain stone, prayed that God might restore the animal to life, and to the astonish- ment of the assembled multitude, a greyhound sprang to life? St. Patrick caused the animal to be killed on the spot, and then pronounced a solemn malediction on the mountainous region in which this insult was offered to religion, and on the race of Cairbre, its chief. It is still believed by the neighbours that this curse remains over these mountains, which causes them to remain more barren than other Irish mountains, and over the people, which keeps them in a more rude and intractable state than those of any other territory in Ireland.

in the large paper copy there is no inscription round the frame of the portrait, the name and age of Gulliver being engraved on a panel below it: whereas in the small paper copy the name and age are engraved round the frame, and the panel below bears two Latin verses beginning “Composi- tum fas.” The titles correspond with C. D. L.’s copy B, and the paging does not run on through the volume, but begins afresh with each part, as in B.
I possess a copy of the second edition, dated mpccxxvil. It is printed with a different type, and varies in the use of capitals, and has several copies of verses prefixed, but otherwise corre- sponds, page for page and line for line, with the first edition, and has the portrait like that de- scribed in the above-mentioned small paper copy.
In the edition of Gulliver edited by Dr. W. C. Taylor in 1840, with engravings after Grandville, some interesting letters are prefixed which passed between the author and Motte the first publisher, from which it might be inferred that the work did not make its appearance till the spring of 1727; but although the agreement between them was not concluded till April or May, 1727, yet it is quite certain that Gulliver came out in N for in Scott's edition of Swift’s works (xvii. 107) is a letter from Arbuthnot to Swift, dated Novem- ber 8, 1726, in which he speaks of Mrs. Howard 1 in reading Gulliver: and

il she herself writes to Swift in the early part of
the same month with allusions to incidents in the work. There can, therefore, be no doubt about the date of its first appearance, although it has been suggested from Dr. Taylor's preface that the printing was commenced in 1726, but delayed till the conclusion of the agreement in the following spring. E. V. ApockypHaL Geneatoey (4 S. ix. 278, 356.) Had Tewars communicated with me before at- tacking me in his paper on this subject he would, perhaps, have been satisfied with the explanation which I must request you to insert. I have been for some years collecting materials for a history of the Fowke family. Amongst other matters, Sir Frederick Fowke of Lowesby sent me a transcript of “a pedigree compiled in 1765 by Edmondson,” which, he adds, “is recorded and proved correct by books at the Heralds’ College.” I understand that this pedigree was prepared as a gift for Lieut.-General Fowke, Governor of Gibraltar, and throughout emblazoned with armorial bearings. Notwithstanding the authorities cited, I was un- prepared to bolt this savoury morsel, and curious to — what authority there was for believing
in these persons’ existence, and with what arms they could be credited, I wrote my query. I asked “‘ what arms were borne by or have been attributed to,” &c. Mr. Exxis insists upon a very early adoption of coat armour proper. As he
stands nearly alone in this view, I will not con- sider it here; but can Tewars be unaware that arms have been attributed to Edward the Con- fessor, William the Conqueror, nay even to Adam and Eve? (4 §. iii. 554, 613.) Iam not con cerned with conjectures as to Latin orthography, nor with inaccuracies in geography, if any such there be; they are Edmondson’s, whose battles ] am not prepared to fight.
I hope I have vindicated “the frame of mind which dictated my query,” and shown that, so far from desiring to “ minister to vanity,” I was anxious to avoid an “uncritical repeti f an idle tradition.” I entirely agree as to the neces- sity of scrupulous exactness, and may add that for every statement made in my pedigrees I invari- ably give my authority. My research may be unintelligent, but it is at least honest, at the
same time enabling critics to weigh the respective values of the different entries.

Derects IN MARRIAGE Reoisters (4* §S. ix,
277, 345.) —One of the defects compla | of as
above is the neglect of entering the eract ages of the parties married. Mr. Leacnman acknow- ledges the difficulty of obtaining the exact ages.
He says that people “are shy of telling their age”; and although his practice is to insist upon having it, the age given is sometimes “ probably ten years from the truth.” Of what practical use, then, could the registering of such ages be? They would never be received in a court of law, and
so far from hereafter serving to identify the par- ties, would only mislead.
It ought, however, to be universally known that the registering what purports to be the exact age is a breach of the law, and that the officiating
minister has no authority to ask the question, which, under the circumstances, is impertinent. The Act under which marriages are now i tered is 6 & 7 Will. IV. (1836), c. 86. Section 51 enacts that “every clergyman shall recister in duplicate the several particulars relating to that marriage, according to the form in schedul “ and this form is in the column for the age to write of full age or minor, as the case may be. Imme- diately after the passing of the Act the registrar- general sent a circular to the incumbent ev
parish containing printed instructions for ful ing the requirements of the Act. One of these circulars is now before me, and it expressly calls attention to the 3lst section. ‘Thus, “in the column under the head age he must insert of full age or minor, as the case may be, but he is not req uired to insert the precise age.” Many incumbents ol that day took the precaution of wafering these instructions on the inner cover of their register for the benefit of their successors who might not be so well informed in their duties.

“Tue Currew torts” etc. (4 S. ix. 339.) — J. W. W.’s version, if an unauthorised, is an ingeni- ous reading. The first line of Gray’s Elegy—
“ The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,” is said, and by Lord Byron, to be plagiarised from the last line of a passage in Dante’s Purgatory, canto 8— “* Che paia ’] giorno pianger che si muore.” The passage is thus translated by Mr. Carey :— “ And pilgrim newly on his road, with love, Thrills, if he hear the vesper bell from far, Which seems to mourn for the expiring day.”
Another expression, “trembling hope,” in Gray’s Elegy, also occurs in Dante—a literary coincidence it may be. Gray committed another petty literary larceny in the line—
“ And leaves the world to darkness and to me,” which is evidently parodied from this line in the * Beggar's Petition ”—
“ And leave the world to wretchedness and me.”

Dr. Joun Owen’s Pepierer (4 S, ix. 239.) — Cymro’s query was repeated in the “‘ Bye-gones” column of the Oswestry Advertiser, and has elicited the following reply :—
“Cymro inquires respecting a pedigree of Dr. John Owen, Dean of Christ Church during the Great Rebel- lion. There are several at Peniarth—one in the auto- graph of Robert Vaughan, the antiquary of Hengwrt. Dr. Owen was a son of the Rev. Harry Owen, curate or in- cumbent of Stadham in Berks, and afterwards incumbent of Harpsden in Oxfordshire, who died Sept. 15, 1643, in his 63rd year, and was buried at Harpsden, where, in the chancel, is a brass plate to his memory. He wasa younger brother of Lewis Owen of Peniarth. Another brother was Hugh Owen of Talybont, who would have made the dean his heir, but disinherited him on account of the part which he took against his sovereign in those un- happy times, and who left Talybont property to another Lewis Owen of Peniarth (afterwards M.P. for Merioneth- shire), the representative of these brothers.—W.”

Rev. Jonn Movutrtrie (4™ S. ix. 118, 184, 307, 370.)—It may interest correspondents who have written concerning this gentleman to transcribe the following stanza from “ Forget Thee,” by his pen; and a translation of it into Latin verse in the Sabrine Corolla by Dr. Kennedy, the late Head Master of Shrewsbury, and now Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge : —
“ Forget thee! bid the forest-birds forget their sweetest tune;
Forget thee! bid the sea forget to swell beneath the moon ;
Bid thirsty flowers forget to drink the eve’s refresh-
_ ing dew ;
Thyself forget thine own dear land, and its mountains wild and blue; Forget each old familiar face, each long-remembered
Spot :
When these things are forgot by thee, then thou shalt be forgot.”
“ Oblitus ut vivam tui ? “ Oblitus omnes ut tui vivam dies ? Cesset avis liquido mulcere silvas carmine: Oblitus omnes ut tui vivam dies ? Negligat unda maris tumere sub lune face: Siticulosa nutet immemor rosa Nectareos bibere rorantis Hesperi scyphos : Tuo paternum litus effluat sinu, Vastaque ceruleo nota colore juga, Vultusque amatus quisque, et a puertia Pluruma deliciis signata plurumis loca: Quorum simul te ceperint oblivia, Excideris animo tu cara, tum demum meo.” Pp. 222, 223, Editio Prima, wpccet.
Mr. Moultrie, the rector of Rugby, has been the author of several volumes of poetry, and as one of his most beautiful effusions let me mention in particular a poem called My Brother’s Grave.

Fatner ArrowsMitn’s Hann (4 S. ix. 376.) In The Memoirs of the Missionary Priests (of Eng- land), by Dr. Challoner, we find that “a hand of the Venerable Martyr Father Arrowsmith, 8. J, is still preserved, and is in possession of the Ger- rard family in Lancashire.” Father Arrowsmith suffered death on the scaffold, after undergoing terrible persecutions, in Lancaster, on August 28, 1628, etatis 43. There is no mention made in the volume to which I refer of any favour being refused by the sheriff or sub-sheriff to Father Arrowsmith; but it is stated that a rather violent attempt by the sheriff was made to force the martyr priest to abjure his faith on the scaffold. It is stated, however, of the judge that he ordered the martyr’s head “to have it set higher by six yards than any of the pinnacles” of Lancaster Castle, and that whilst sitting at supper on January 23, 1629-50, he (the judge) felt a blow as if somebody had struck him on the head, upon
| which he fell into a rage with the servant that
waited behind him, who protested that he had not struck him, nor did he see any one strike him. A little after he felt another blow like the first, and then in great terror he was carried to bed and died the next morning. Father Arrowsmith’s hand, in a silver shrine, is at present, I believe, in or near Liverpool, and is greatly resorted to for cures, Mavrice Lenrman, M.R.LA.

Cuavcer Famity (4 S. ix. 381.)—I demur, with Mr. FurNIVALL’s leave, to the statement that there is no scrap of evidence for the r lationship between Geoffrey and Thomas Chaucer. On the tomb of Thomas Chaucer, at Ewelme, among the many coats of arms are those of Rolt: this being the family of Geoffrey Chaucer’s wife, and the traditional mother of Thomas Chaucer. There appears in this strong evidence of relationship. See Visitations of O. rfordshire, pp. 38, 39, Harleian Society, London, 1871. Ep. MaRsHALL.

Miscellaneous. NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.
The Perlustration of Great Yarm nuth, Gorleston, and Southtown. By Charles John Palmer. Vol. J. (Nall, Great Yarmouth.)
If the general reader, on taking up this volume and finding that it contains upwards of 400 pages, should take fright and be disposed to cast it aside as one not likely to possess for him at least interest proportionate to its length, let him not do so until he has read the “ Prefatory Note.” Having done that, we venture to prophesy that he will read the book; and that done, that he will agree with us that a better, more amusing, or more instructive local history was never penned. Mr. Palmer, it must be admitted, has been especially fortunate in having a town of exceptional interest to deal with; and as we wander with him up and down the rows of Yarmouth ; walk with him through the streets and places of the Old Town; perambulate the roads which intersect the New Town without the walls; and extend our survey through the hamlet of Southtown, Cobham Island, and the town of Gorleston within the Municipal Borough, we feel that our companion is no plodding antiquary of the old Dryasdust school, but one filled with deep sym- pathies for the present as well as for the past, and*in whom the sight of an old house or historic site recalls the memory of those who give them interest. The work is such as could only have been accomplished by the labour of many years, and by much persistent and well- directed research. It has obviously been a labour of love; and the profuse manner in which it is illustrated shows that no thought of profit can have entered the mind of the Editor, Yarmouth is lucky in having such an historian as Mr. Palmer; and we trust his fellow townsmen will not be slow to recognise their obligations tothe author of one of the best local histories which late years have produced.
Sate or VALUABLE Prints.—On Monday next and
