In a\nsubsequent number of the \"NOTES AND QUERIES\" (Vol. i., p. 397.), the\nauthenticity of the volume is somewhat called in question by MR. C.\nROSS, on account of certain historical entries not appearing in it,\nwhich are printed by Welwood in his _Memoirs_[1], and stated to have\nbeen copied by him from \"a little pocket-book\" which was taken with\nMonmouth, and afterwards delivered to the King. Dr. Anster replied to\nthis in the _Dublin University Magazine_ for June, 1850 (vol. xxxv. p.\n673.), and showed by references to the _Harleian Miscellany_ (vol. vi.\np. 322., ed. 1810), and Sir John Reresby's _Memoirs_ (p. 121. 4to.,\n1734), that more than one book was found on the Duke of Monmouth's\nperson when captured. In the former of these authorities, entitled _An\nAccount of the Manner of taking the late Duke of Monmouth: by his\nMajesty's command_, printed in 1685, and perhaps compiled from\ninformation given by the king himself, the following statement is\nmade:--\n\n  \"The papers and books that were found on him are since delivered\n  to his Majesty. One of the books was a manuscript of spells,\n  charms, and conjurations, songs, receipts, and prayers, _all\n  written with the said late Duke's own hand_. Two others were\n  manuscripts of fortification and the military art. And a fourth\n  book, fairly written, wherein are computes of the yearly expense\n  of his Majesty's navy and land forces.\"\n\n  [Footnote 1: Query, what is the date of the _first_ edition of\n  Welwood's work? The earliest in the Museum library is the _third_\n  edition, printed in 1700.]\n\nIt is remarkable that the \"pocket-book\" mentioned by Welwood is not here\nspecified, but it is possible that the entries quoted by him may have\nbeen written on the pages of one of the other books. Two of the above\nonly are noticed by Mr. Macaulay, namely, \"a small treatise on\nfortification,\" and \"an album filled with songs, receipts, prayers, and\ncharms\"; and there can be no reasonable doubt that the latter, which is\nmentioned by the author of the tract in the _Harleian Miscellany_, as\nwell as by Reresby and Barillon, is the identical manuscript which forms\nthe subject of Dr. Anster's remarks.\n\nWithin a few weeks this singular volume has been added by purchase to\nthe National Collection of Manuscripts in the British Museum, previous\nto which I ascertained, by a careful comparison of its pages with\nseveral undoubted letters of the Duke of Monmouth (an advantage Dr.\nAnster did not possess), that the whole of the volume (or nearly so) is\ncertainly in the Duke's handwriting. This evidence might of itself be\ndeemed sufficient; but some lines written on the fly-leaf of the volume\n(which are passed over by Dr. Anster as of no moment) confirm the fact\nbeyond all cavil, since, on seeing them, I immediately recognised them\nas the autograph of King James himself. They are as follows:\n\n  \"This book was found in the Duke of Monmouth's pocket when he was\n  taken, and is most of his owne handwriting.\"\n\nAlthough the contents of this volume have been already described in\ngeneral terms by Dr. Anster, yet it may not perhaps be uninteresting to\ngive a more detailed list of what is written in it:--\n\n  1. Receipts \"for the stone\"; \"to know the sum of numbers before\n  they be writ doun\"; \"pour nettoyer l'ovrages de cuyvre argent\u00e9;\"\n  \"for to make Bouts and Choos [Boots and Shoes] hold out water;\"\n  and \"to keep the goms well.\"--pp. 1-4. 8.\n\n  2. Magical receipts and charms in French, written partly in an\n  abbreviated form, accompanied by cabalistic figures. Two of these\n  are to deliver a person out of prison, and are no doubt the same\n  which Sir John Reresby refers to.--pp. 5. 7. 9. 11-17.\n\n  3. \"The forme of a bill of Excheng,\" drawn on David Nairne of\n  London, from Antwerp, May 16, 1684, for 200_l._ sterling.--p. 6.\n\n  4. Astrological rules in French for finding out anything required;\n  together with a planetary wheel, dated 1680, to show life or death\n  in case of illness, also happiness and adversity.--pp. 19-25.\n\n  5. Directions \"pour savoire si une person sera fidelle ou non,\"\n  &c. At the bottom is a cypher, in which _a_ stands for 10, _b_ for\n  52, &c., p. 27. All this is entered again at pp. 45. 47.\n\n  6. \"The way from London to East Tilbery,\" dated December 1,\n  1684.--p. 29.\n\n  7. Prayers for the morning and evening, pp. 31-43.\n\n  8. List of the Christian names of women and men.--pp. 44. 46. 48.\n\n  9. Arithmetical table of the number 7, multiplied from 1 to\n  37.--pp. 49. 51.\n\n  10. Receipts \"to take away a corne;\" \"a soveraign water of Dr.\n  Stephens;\" \"to make the face fair;\" \"to make golden letters\n  without gold;\" \"to kip iron from rusting;\" \"to write letters of\n  secrets;\" \"to make hair grow;\" \"to make hair grow black, though of\n  any colour;\" and several more.--pp. 52-61.\n\n  11. Casualties that happened in the reigns of the English\n  sovereigns, from William I. to Queen Mary inclusive; consisting\n  chiefly of remarkable accidents, and reputed prodigies.--pp.\n  62-78.\n\n  12. \"Socrates, Platon, Aristote et Ciceron ont fait ces trente\n  Comandemens pour leurs disciples.\"--pp. 78, 79.\n\n  13. \"A receipt for the Farcy.\"--p. 81.\n\n  14. A poem intitled \"The Twin Flame, _sent mee by M P_\"--pp.\n  83-91.\n\nThe words in Italics have been scribbled over with the pen for the\npurpose of concealment. The verses commence:\n\n      \"Fantastick wanton god, what dost thou mean,\n      To breake my rest, make mee grow pale and lean.\"\n\n  15. Receipts for secret writing, to take impressions of prints\n  upon glass, to boil plate, &c.--pp. 93-98.\n\n  16. Several songs in English and French, pp. 99-107.\n\nAmong them are the verses printed in \"NOTES AND QUERIES,\" Vol. i., p.\n199., beginning \"With joie we do leave thee,\" accompanied by the musical\nnotes; and also a song commencing \"All ye gods that ar above,\" with the\nmusical notes. It is most probable that these songs are copied from\nprinted sources; but as they have been conjectured to be compositions by\nMonmouth himself, the following short specimen may not be unacceptable,\ncopied _literatim_.\n\n      \"O how blest, and how inocent,\n      and happy is a country life,\n      free from tumult and discontent;\n      heer is no flatterys nor strife,\n      for t'was the first and happiest life,\n      when first man did injoie him selfe.\n\n      This is a better fate than kings,\n      hence jentle peace and love doth flow,\n      for fancy is the rate of things;\n      I'am pleased, because I think it so,\n      for a hart that is nobly true,\n      all the world's arts can n'er subdue.\"\n\nThis poem immediately follows the one in which Toddington in\nBedfordshire (which the Duke spells, probably as then pronounced,\n_Tedington_) is referred to.\n\n  17. Prayers after the confession of sins, and the sense of pardon\n  obtained.--pp. 108-125.\n\nThese prayers breathe a spirit of the most humble and ardent piety; and\nif composed by the Duke himself, exhibit the weakness of his character\nin a more favourable light than the remainder of the volume. One\nparagraph is striking:--\n\n  \"Mercy, mercy, good Lord! I aske not of thee any longer the things\n  of this world; neither power, nor honours, nor riches, nor\n  pleasures. No, my God, dispose of them to whom thou pleasest, so\n  that thou givest me mercy.\"\n\n  18. \"The Batteryes that can be made at Flushing to keep ships from\n  coming in.\"--pp. 127, 128.\n\n  19. \"Trait\u00e9 de la guere ou Politique militaire.\"--pp. 130-132.\n\n  20. \"The Rode that is to be taken from Bruxels to Diren, the Pri.\n  of Orange's house.\"--p. 133.\n\n  21. \"The Road from Bruxells to Sousdyck, the Prince of Orange his\n  hous.\"--p. 134.\n\n  22. \"The way that I tooke from Diren, when I went for England,\n  Nov. the 10. 84.\"--p. 135.\n\n  23. \"The way that I took when I came from England, December the\n  10th. 84.\"--p. 137.\n\n  24. \"The way that I took the first day of Jan. n. st. [1684-5]\n  from Bruxells to the Hague.\"--p. 139.\n\n  25. Similar memoranda from 11th to 14th March, 1685, between\n  Antwerp and Dort.--p. 141.\n\n  26. The addresses of various persons in Holland, London, Paris,\n  and elsewhere, to whom letters were to be written, 1685.--pp. 142.\n  147-155.\n\n  27. \"The footway from Trogou to Amsterdam.\"--p. 143.\n\n  28. An obscure memorandum, as follows:--\"1683. Munday the 5th of\n  November. H. W. had T.--The 9th of November, Poupe.--The 16th of\n  November, Poupe.\"--p. 156.\n\n  29. Value of duckatons, pistols, and gilders.--_Ib._\n\n  30. Note of the route from London to Tedington.--p. 157.\n\nAlthough this volume is not of the same historical value as the _Diary_\nmentioned by Welwood, yet it is a curious and interesting relic of the\nunfortunate man who possessed it, and whose want of education,\nsuperstition, and frivolity are so prominently displayed in its pages.\nAs to its recent history, Dr. Anster states that it was purchased at a\nbook-stall in Paris, in 1827, by an Irish divinity student; the same,\nprobably, who has written his name at p. 90.: \"John Barrette, Irish\nCollege, Paris, Dec. 31, 1837.\"--The same person has made a memorandum\nin pencil, at p. 1., which has subsequently been partially rubbed out,\nand, as far as now legible, is as follows:--\n\n  \"This Book was found in ... of the English College in Paris, among\n  other MSS. deposited there by James II.\"\n\nAn earlier hand has scribbled a list of the contents at the\ncommencement, with the signature \"S. Rutter.\" If King James deposited\nthis volume in the College at Paris, in all probability the others found\non the person of the Duke of Monmouth accompanied it, and may one day or\nother turn up as unexpectedly as the present book has done.\n\n    F. MADDEN.\n\n  British Museum, June 27.\n\n\nFOLK LORE.\n\n_Stanton Drew and its Tradition._--At the little village of Stanton\nDrew, in the county of Somerset, east of the road between Bristol and\nWells, stands a well-known Druidical monument, which, in the opinion of\nDr. Stukeley, was more ancient than that at Abury. It consists\n(according to a recent writer) of four groups of stones, forming (or,\nrather, having formed when complete) two circles; and two other figures,\none an ellipse. Although the largest stones are much inferior in their\ndimensions to those at Stonehenge and Abury, they are by no means\ncontemptible; some of them being nine feet in height and twenty-two feet\nin girth. There is a curious tradition very prevalent amongst the\ncountry people, respecting the origin of these remains, which they\ndesignate the \"Evil Wedding,\" for the following good and substantial\nreasons:--Many hundred years ago (on a Saturday evening), a newly\nmarried couple, with their relatives and friends, met on the spot now\ncovered by these ruins, to celebrate their nuptials. Here they feasted\nand danced right merrily, until the clock tolled the hour of midnight,\nwhen the piper (a pious man) refused to play any longer: this was much\nagainst the wish of the guests, and so exasperated the bride (who was\nfond of dancing), that she swore with an oath, she would not be baulked\nin her enjoyment by a beggarly piper, but would find a substitute, if\nshe went to h-ll to fetch one. She had scarcely uttered the words, when\na venerable old man, with a long beard, made his appearance, and having\nlistened to their request, proffered his services, which were right\ngladly accepted. The old gentleman (who was no other than the Arch-fiend\nhimself) having taken the seat vacated by the godly piper, commenced\nplaying a slow and solemn air, which on the guests remonstrating he\nchanged into one more lively and rapid. The company now began to dance,\nbut soon found themselves impelled round the performer so rapidly and\nmysteriously, that they would all fain have rested. But when they\nessayed to retire, they found, to their consternation, that they were\nmoving faster and faster round their diabolical musician, who had now\nresumed his original shape. Their cries for mercy were unheeded, until\nthe first glimmering of day warned the fiend that he must depart. With\nsuch rapidity had they moved, that the gay and sportive assembly were\nnow reduced to a ghastly troop of skeletons. \"I leave you,\" said the\nfiend, \"a monument of my power and your wickedness to the end of time:\"\nwhich saying, he vanished. The villagers, on rising in the morning,\nfound the meadow strewn with large pieces of stone, and the pious piper\nlying under a hedge, half dead with fright, he having been a witness to\nthe whole transaction.\n\n    DAVID STEVENS.\n\n  Godalming, May 10. 1851.\n\n\nMinor Notes.\n\n_The Hon. Spencer Perceval._--Being on a tour through the West of\nEngland some years ago, I found myself one morning rapidly advancing up\nthe river Tamar, in the gig of \"the Captain of the Ordinary\" at\nPlymouth. We were bound for the noble ruins of Trematon Castle, in the\narea of which a good modern house has been erected, and in one of the\ntowers is arranged a very pleasing collection of antiquities.\n\nAs we proceeded up the river, the gallant captain related the following\nanecdote in reference to the then proprietor of Trematon:--\n\n  It is well known that in the afternoon of the 12th May, 1812, the\n  Hon. Spencer Perceval, the then prime minister, fell by the hand\n  of Bellingham in the lobby of the House of Commons; the cause\n  assigned by the murderer being the neglect of, or refusal to\n  discharge a supposed claim he had upon the government.\n\nOn the same night the gentleman above alluded to, and residing at\nTrematon, had the tragic scene so minutely and painfully depicted in his\nsleep, that he could not resist the desire of sending the particulars to\na friend in town, which he did by the _up mail_, which departed a few\nhours after he had risen on the following morning.\n\nHe informed his friend that his topographical knowledge of London was\nvery meagre; and that as to the House of Commons (the old one), he had\nseen only the exterior: he went on to state, that, dreaming he was in\ntown, he had a desire to hear the debates in Parliament, and for this\npurpose enquired his way to the lobby of the House, the architectural\npeculiarities of which he minutely described; he gave an exact\ndescription of the few officials and others in the room, and especially\nof a tall, thin man, who seemed to watch the opening of the door as any\none entered with wild and restless gaze: at length Mr. Perceval arrived,\nwhose person (although unknown to him) and dress he described, as also\nthe manner in which the horrid deed was done: he further communicated\nthe words uttered by the victim to the effect \"the villain has\nmurdered--;\" how the wounded man was treated, and the person of the\nmedical man who was on the instant called in.\n\nThese, with other particulars, which have escaped my memory, were thus\nrecorded, and the first newspaper he received confirmed the accuracy of\nthis extraordinary dream.\n\n    M. W. B.\n\n_An Adventurer in 1632._--I transcribe from a manuscript letter now\nbefore me, dated \"Tuesday, Whitsun-week, 1632,\" the following passage.\nCan you or any of your correspondents give me (or tell me where I am\nlikely to find) any further information of the adventurer there named?\n\n  \"Heer is much Speach of the Brauery of a Porter yt hath taken a\n  Braue House, and hath his Coach & 4 Horses. Ye Lord Mayor examined\n  him how he gott yt Wealth: he answered nothing. Then ye Lords of\n  ye Council gott out of him, that he being the Pope's Brother Borne\n  in Essex, Goodman Linges Sonnes, was maintained by him, and\n  tempted much to have come over to him: these 2 Brothers beings\n  Ship Boyes to a French pirate, the porter gott meanes to come\n  againe into England, but ye other being a Witty Boy was sould to a\n  Coortier in Paris, who trauelling to Florence, thear bestowed his\n  Boy of a Great Man, who when he dyed tooke such affection to this\n  Boy, yt changeing his name to his owne left his estate to him: and\n  so in time grew a Florentine, a Cardinall, & now Pope, ye greatest\n  linguist for the Latine yt ever was.\"\n\n    C. DE D.\n\n  [Maffeo Barberini (Urban VIII.) was the Roman pontiff between 1623\n  and 1644, and is said to have been born at Florence in 1568, of a\n  noble family. He was a good classical scholar, and no mean Latin\n  poet. One charge brought against him was his weak partiality\n  towards his nephews, who abused his old age and credulity. It is\n  probable some of our correspondents can throw some light on this\n  mysterious document.]\n\n_Almanacs._--A friend of mine, in taking down his old rectory house last\nyear, found under one of the floors a book almanac, of which the\nfollowing is the title given:\n\n  \"A Prognossicacion and an Almanac fastened together, declaring the\n  Dispocission of the People, and also of the Wether, with certaine\n  Electyons and Tymes chosen both for Phisicke and Surgerye, and for\n  the Husbandman. And also for Hawekying, Huntying, Fyshing, and\n  Foulyinge, according to the Science of Astronomy, made for the\n  yeare of our Lord God M. D. L. calculed for the Merydyan of Yorke,\n  and practiced by Anthony Askam.\"\n\nAt the end of the Almanac:\n\n  \"Imprynted at London, in Flete Strete, at the Signe of the\n  George, next to Saynt Dunstone's Churche, by Wyllyam Powell, cum\n  priuilegio ad imprimendum solum.\"\n\nThen follows the \"Prognossicacion,\" the title-page to which is as\nfollows:\n\n  \"A Prognossicacion for the yere of our Lord M.CCCCCL., calculed\n  upon the Meridiane of the Towne of Anwarpe and the Country\n  thereabout, by Master Peter of Moorbecke, Doctoure in Physicke of\n  ye same Towne, whereunto is added the Judgment of M.

Translated\n  out of Dutch into Englyshe by William Harrys.\"\n\nAt the end--\n\n  \"Imprynted at London by John Daye, dwellynge over Aldersgate and\n  Wylliam Seres, dwellyng in Peter Colledge. These Bokes are to be\n  sold at the Newe Shop by the lytle Conduyte in Chepesyde.\"\n\nThe print is old English. Mr. Francis Moore and the Almanacs have\nfigured in your recent Numbers, and I have thought that a brief notice\nof an almanac three hundred years old might not be unacceptable to your\n\"NOTES AND QUERIES\" friends.\n\n    D.\n\n  Exeter, June 18. 1851.\n\n\n\n\nQueries.\n\n\nGHOST STORIES.\n\nFrom some recent experiments of the Baron von Reichenbach, it seems\nprobable that wherever chemical action is going on light is evolved,\nthough it is only by persons possessing peculiar (though not very rare)\npowers of sight, and by them only under peculiar circumstances, that it\ncan be seen. It occurred to him that such persons might perhaps see\nlight over graves in which dead bodies were undergoing decomposition. He\nsays:\n\n  \"The desire to inflict a mortal wound on the monster,\n  superstition, which, from a similar origin, a few centuries ago,\n  inflicted on European society so vast an amount of misery; and by\n  whose influence, not hundreds, but thousands of innocent persons\n  died in tortures on the rack and at the stake;--this desire made\n  me wish to make the experiment, if possible, of bringing a highly\n  sensitive person, by night, to a churchyard.\"--\u00a7 158.

R. MAITLAND.\n\n  Gloucester.\n\n\nA BOOK WANTED OF ENZINAS.--FRANCISCO DE ENZINAS, OR DRYANDER, TRANSLATOR\nOF THE SPANISH NEW TESTAMENT, 1543.\n\nCan any obliging reader of the \"NOTES AND QUERIES\" inform me of the\nexistence, in any of our public libraries, or for sale, of the following\nbook: _Dryandri (Franciscus) Flandri\u00e6 propri\u00e6 incarcerationis et\nliberationis Historia_: Antwerpi\u00e6(?) 1545. Sm. 8vo.? Fox, the\nmartyrologist, writing of Dryander, says:\n\n  \"I read the book in the shop of John Oporine, printer, of Basil.\"\n\nI have a French translation of it, and a Spanish version is sanctioned\nby Pellicea (after Gerdes), under this title: _Breve Descripcion del\nPais Baxo, y razon de la Religion en Espa\u00f1a_, en 8vo.; but in such a\nmanner as leaves it questionable. If a Spanish version is known, I\nshould esteem it a favour to be informed where it can now be found.\n\nEnzinas passed part of the years 1542-3 with Melancthon at Wittemberg.\nHaving completed his New Testament, he returned early in the latter year\nto Antwerp to get it printed. After much reflection and advice with his\nfriends, he made an agreement with Stephen Mierdmann of Antwerp, in the\nfollowing manner:\n\n  \"I determined,\" says he, \"to do my duty in the affair, at all\n  events; which was, to undertake the publication, and to leave the\n  consequences, and the course of the inspired Word, to the\n  providence of God, to whom it of right belonged. I therefore spoke\n  with a ----, and asked him whether he was willing to print my\n  book. He answered, Yes, very gladly; partly because I desire to do\n  some good for the commonweal more than for my own particular\n  interest, caring little for gain or for the slander of opponents;\n  and partly, also, said he, because it is a book that has long been\n  desired. Then I asked him whether it was needful to have a\n  _license_ or _permission_, and whether he could not print it\n  without these: for, said I, it would ill beseem the Word of God,\n  from which kings and rulers derive the authority for the exercise\n  of their power, that it should be subject to the permission or\n  prohibition of any human feeling or fancy. To this he answered,\n  that no law of the Emperor had ever forbidden the printing of the\n  Holy Scriptures; and this was well known, for in Antwerp the New\n  Testament had already been printed in almost every language of\n  Europe but the Spanish, and that neither himself nor any other\n  printer had ever previously asked permission. From his experience,\n  he had no doubt that, provided it was faithfully translated, the\n  New Testament might be freely printed without leave or license.\n  Then, said I, get ready your presses and everything needful for\n  the work. I will answer for the interpretation of the text, and\n  you shall take the risk of printing. And more, in order that you\n  shall not suffer by loss or fine from our Spaniards, I will take\n  the expense of the impression on myself. So I delivered to him the\n  copy, and begged him to dispatch the business as soon as possible.\n\n  \"Nothing relating to it was done in secret; everybody knew that\n  the New Testament was being printed in Spanish. Many praised the\n  project; many waited for it with eagerness; my rooms were never\n  closed, every one who wished came in and out: and yet I doubt not\n  that some who came and beforehand praised my book, when they were\n  behind my back, and with their own parties, sung another song;\n  well perceiving that the reading of the Scriptures by the people\n  is not very likely to profit their avaricious stomachs. I care\n  little, however, for such opinions and selfish passions, confiding\n  in God alone, who directed and would protect an undertaking\n  devoted solely to His own glory.\"\n\nIt were too long for the \"NOTES AND QUERIES\" to tell how he was induced\nto cancel the first leaf of his New Testament after it was printed,\nbecause it had one word which savoured of Lutheranism; of his presenting\nthe finished volume to the Emperor Charles V. at Brussels; how he\nreceived him, and what he said of his being entrapped by his confessor,\nand cast into prison for fifteen months, escaping and being let down by\na rope over the city wall, until he found repose and security again at\nWittemberg with Melancthon.\n\nFew of the early translations of the New Testament into the vulgar\nlanguages of Europe are so little known as the Spanish of Francisco de\nEnzinas, or Dryander; and yet, perhaps, of no one of them are there such\nminute particulars of the printing and publication to be found upon\nrecord as that published by him in 1543, and of his imprisonment in\nconsequence of it.\n\n    BENJAMIN B. WIFFEN.\n\n  Mount Pleasant, near Woburn.\n\n\nSALTING THE BODIES OF THE DEAD.\n\nEvery reader of Ariosto, of Boiardo, or of Berri, is acquainted with the\ncharacter of Turpin, as an historian. John Turpin's _History of the Life\nof Charles the Great and Roland_ has long since been regarded as a\ncollection of fables; as a romance written under a feigned name. Its\nreal character is, however, best described by Ferrario, when he says\nthat it is not to be considered as \"the mere invention of any one\nimpostor, but rather as a compilation of ancient tales and ballads that\nhad been circulating amongst the people from the ninth century.\"\n(_Storia ed Analisi degli Antichi Romanzi di Cavalleria_, vol. i. pp.\n21, 22.) In such a work we must not calculate upon meeting with facts,\nbut we may hope to be able to obtain an insight into ancient practices,\nand an acquaintance with ancient customs. It is for this reason I would\ndesire to draw the attention of the reader to a curious mode of\npreserving the bodies of the dead, stated by Turpin. He says that the\nChristians, being without a sufficient supply of aromatic drugs\nwherewith to embalm the dead, disembowelled them, and filled them up\nwith salt. The passage thus stands in the original:\n\n  \"Tunc defunctorum corpora amici eorum diversis aromatibus\n  condiverunt; alii myrrha, alii balsamo, alii _sale_ diligentes\n  perfuderunt: _multi corpora per ventrem findebant et stercora\n  ejiciebant, et sale, alia aromata non habentes, condiebant._\"--C.\n  27.\n\nDoes any other author but Turpin mention this mode of \"salting,\" or\nrather of \"pickling\" the dead? This is the Query which I put, in the\nexpectation of having it answered in the affirmative, as I am quite\ncertain I have met with another author--although I cannot cite his\nname--who mentions the body of a Duke of Gloucester being thus preserved\nwith salt; but unfortunately I have not taken a note of the author, and\ncan only thus vaguely refer to the fact.\n\n    W.

It\nis certain that the parallel term _calumnia_ was so used in monkish\nLatin.\n\n    H. W.\n\n_Miss._--It is generally, I believe, understood that, prior to the time\nof Charles II., married women were called _Mistress_, and unmarried had\n_Mistress_ prefixed to their Christian name; and that the equivocal\nposition of many in that reign, gave rise to the peculiar designation of\n_Miss_ or \"Mis.\" Can any of your readers show an earlier use of the\nterm than the following, from _Epigrams of all Sorts_, by Richard\nFlecknoe, published 1669?\n\n      \"To Mis. Davis on her excellent Dancing.\n      Dear Mis., delight of all the nobler sort,\n      Pride of the stage and darling of the court.\"\n\nAgain, was the term, when used with especial reference to these ladies,\nalways spelt with one _s_, as _Mis_?\n\n    M.

Now, I should think\nthe person whom secret associations can be even imagined, ever so\nfalsely, to keep in continual remembrance, and who is thus placed in\ncompetition with the Grand Master of the Temple, should at least enjoy\nthat moderate share of celebrity that will enable some of your\ncorrespondents to inform me who he was, and what were the circumstances\nof his death.

The N. one is so much defaced\nthat nothing could be traced but the outline of the figure, and what\nappears a gigantic serpent, or perhaps a scroll of a blue colour behind\nit. The clerk reports that traces of an anchor could be seen ten years\nago; but on his statement I cannot place much reliance. I should be\nobliged for any information respecting the subject.

I need not inform you, that in the third\n  volume of Prynne's _Records_ there is a large but undigested list\n  of all those in Scotland who paid homage to Edward I. in 1291 and\n  1296, forming a kind of Doomsday Book of the country at that\n  period. Four years ago, I, with some labour, reduced the numerous\n  names and designations into alphabetical order, and the list being\n  now adapted to general use, and containing the names and\n  designations of the chief landholders, citizens, and clergy of the\n  time, it may be regarded as of no small importance to our ancient\n  statistics, topography, and genealogy. If your opinion coincides,\n  I shall with pleasure present it to you for the purpose, and\n  correct the press.\"\n\nNow the article so kindly proffered by Mr. Pinkerton did not appear in\nthe _Statistical Account of Scotland_, or in any of Mr. Pinkerton's\nsubsequent publications, that I am aware of.

In 1766 her\n  ladyship, \"with gentle mien and accent bland,\" received for her\n  dextrous lubricities something like a whipping at Coventry.

(Vol. iii., p. 478.). It is a copy of a\nletter from the Duke of Monmouth, as Chancellor of the University of\nCambridge, intimating to the clergy the displeasure of Charles II. at\ntheir use of periwigs, and their practice of reading sermons. His\nMajesty, it will be found, thought both customs equally important and\nequally unbecoming. Of the latter, it is stated that it \"took beginning\nwith the disorders of the late times, and that the way of preaching\nwithout book was most agreeable to the use of the foreign churches, to\nthe custom of the University heretofore, and to the nature and\nintendment of that holy exercise.\" It will surprise many of your readers\nto find that the reading of sermons was considered to be a mere\npuritanical innovation.\n\n  \"_The Duke of Monmouth, Chancellor of the University of Cambridge,\n  to the Vice-Chancellor and University._\n\n  \"Mr. Vice-Chancellor and Gentlemen,\n\n  \"His Majesty having taken notice of the liberty which several\n  persons in holy orders have taken to wear their hair and periwigs\n  of an unusual and unbecoming length, hath commanded me to let you\n  know, that he is much displeased therewith, and strictly injoins\n  that all such persons as profess or intend the study of divinity,\n  do for the future wear their hair in a manner more suitable to the\n  gravity and sobriety of their profession, and that distinction\n  which was always maintained between the habit of men devoted to\n  the ministry and other persons.\n\n  \"And whereas, his Majesty is informed that the practice of reading\n  sermons is generally taken up by the preachers before the\n  University, and there for some time continued, even before\n  himself, his Majesty hath commanded me to signify to you his\n  pleasure, that the said practice, which took beginning with the\n  disorders of the late times, be wholly laid aside; and that the\n  foresaid preachers deliver their sermons, both in Latin and\n  English, by memory, or without book, as being a way of preaching\n  which his Majesty judges most agreeable to the use of the foreign\n  churches, and to the custom of the University heretofore, and to\n  the nature and intendment of that holy exercise.\n\n  \"And that his Majesty's commands in the premisses may be duly\n  regarded and observed, his Majesty's farther pleasure is, that the\n  names of all such ecclesiastical persons as shall wear their hair\n  as heretofore in an unfitting imitation of the fashion of laymen,\n  or that shall continue in the present slothfull way of preaching,\n  be from time to time signified unto me by the Vice-Chancellor for\n  the time being, upon pain of his Majesty's displeasure.\n\n  \"Having in obedience to his Majesty's will signified thus much\n  unto you, I shall not doubt of that your ready compliance; and the\n  rather because his Majesty intends to send the same injunctions\n  very speedily to the University of Oxford, whom I am assured you\n  will equal in all other excellencies, and so in obedience to the\n  king; especially when his commands are so much to the honour and\n  esteem of that renowned University, whose welfare is so heartily\n  desired, and shall ever be endeavoured by, Mr. Vice-Chancellor,\n\n      \"Your loving friend and Chancellor,\n\n      \"MONMOUTH.\"\n\nI believe this letter, or something like it, was published by Peck in\nhis _Desiderata Curiosa_, and also by Mr. Roberts in his _Life of\nMonmouth_.

P.\n\n  Brighton, June 27.\n\n\nLORD MAYOR NOT A PRIVY COUNCILLOR.\n\n(Vol. iii., p. 496.)\n\nThis Query, and your answer, involve one or two important questions,\nwhich are worth a fuller solution than you have given.\n\nThe Lord Mayor is no more a Privy Councillor than he is Archbishop of\nCanterbury. The title of \"Right Honourable,\" which has given rise to\nthat vulgar error, is in itself a mere courtesy appended to the title of\n\"Lord;\" which is also, popularly, though not _legally_, given him: for\nin all _his own_ acts, he is designated officially as \"Mayor\" only. The\ncourtesy-title of _Lord_ he shares with the Mayors of Dublin and York,\nthe Lord-Advocate of Scotland, the younger sons of Dukes and Marquises,\n&c. &c., and all such _Lords_ are styled by courtesy \"Right Honourable;\"\nand this style of _Right Honourable_ is also given to Privy Councillors\nin virtue of their proper official title of \"Lords of Her Majesty's Most\nHonourable Privy Council.\" So, the \"Right Honourable the Lords of the\nTreasury and Admiralty.\" So much for the title. The fact stated in the\nEditor's answer, of the admission of the Lord Mayor _to the Council\nChamber_ after some clamour, on the accession of William IV., is a\nmistake arising out of the following circumstances. On the demise of the\ncrown, a London Gazette Extraordinary is immediately published, with a\nproclamation announcing the death of one sovereign and the accession of\nthe other. This proclamation styles itself to be that of the--\n\n\"Peers Spiritual and Temporal of the Realm, _assisted_ by those of the\nlate Privy Council, with numbers of _others_, Gentlemen of Quality, with\nthe Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of London.\"\n\nThe proclamation is that of the _Peers_ alone, but _assisted_ by the\n_others_. The cause of this form is, that the demise of the crown\ndissolves the Privy Council, and used (till modern times) to dissolve\nparliaments, and abrogate the commissions of the Judges, and all other\npublic officers; so that the Lords Spiritual and Temporal were the only\nsubsisting authority. Hence _they_, of necessity, undertook the duty of\nproclaiming the new king, but they fortified themselves \"_with the\nassistance of_ the principal gentlemen of quality, and of the Lord\nMayor, Aldermen, and Citizens.\" This paper is first signed by the Peers,\nand then by all who happen to be present, promiscuously. At the\naccession of William IV., there were about 180 names, of which \"J.\nCrowder, Mayor,\" stands the 106th. At the accession of Queen Victoria,\nthere were about 160 names, of which \"Thomas Kelly, Mayor,\" is the\n111th. And in both cases we find the names of the Aldermen, Sheriffs,\nTown Clerk, City Remembrancer, and several others,--private citizens,\nand many altogether private persons, who happened to come to the palace\nat that time.\n\nIt is obvious that all this has nothing to do with the Privy Council,\nfor, in fact, at that moment, no Privy Council exists. But while these\nthings are going on in an outward room of the palace, where everybody is\nadmitted, the new sovereign commands the attendance of the late Privy\nCouncil in the council chamber, where the old Privy Councillors are\ngenerally (I suppose always) re-sworn of the new council; and _then_ and\n_there_ are prepared and promulgated several acts of the new sovereign,\nto which are prefixed the names of the Privy Councillors present. Now,\nto this _council_ chamber the Lord Mayor is no more admitted than the\nTown Clerk would be, and to these acts of the council _his name has\nnever appeared_.\n\nAll these facts appear in the _London Gazettes_ for the 27th June, 1830,\nand the 30th June, 1837; and similar proceedings took place in Dublin;\nthough since the Union the practice is at least superfluous.\n\nThis establishes the _rationale_ of the case, but there is a precedent\nthat concludes it:--\n\n  \"On the 27th May, 1768, Mr. Thomas Harley, then Lord Mayor of\n  London, was sworn of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council!\"\n\n--an honour never since conferred on any Mayor or Alderman, and which\ncould not have been conferred on him if he had already been of that\nbody.\n\n    C.\n\n\nDR. ELRINGTON'S EDITIONS OF USSHER'S WORKS.\n\n(Vol. iii., p. 496.)\n\nIn reply to your correspondent C. PAINE, JUN. I beg to say that this\nUniversity has recently requested me to undertake the completion of\nUssher's works. Dr. Elrington has left about half the fourteenth volume\nprinted off: but I have found considerable difficulty in ascertaining\nwhat he intended to print, or what ought to be printed, in the remaining\nhalf. The printed portion contains the archbishop's Theological\nLectures, in reply to Bellarmine, never before published.[2] I have\nfound amongst Dr. Elrington's papers a volume of sermons (a MS. of the\nlatter half of the seventeenth century), which are attributed, in the\nMS. itself, to Ussher; but the authenticity of these sermons is, it\nappears to me, very doubtful. I therefore hesitate to print them.\n\n  [Footnote 2: Elrington's Life of _Ussher_, p. 26.]\n\nI am anxious to find a treatise on the Seventy Weeks, by Ussher, which I\nhave some reason to think once existed in MS. This tract, with another\non the question of the Millennium, from Rev. xx. 4., formed the\nexercises which he performed for the degree of D.D., at the commencement\nof the University in 1612: and I remember Dr. Elrington telling me (if I\ndid not mistake his meaning), that he intended to print them in the\nfourteenth volume. My difficulty is, that I cannot find them amongst\nUssher's MSS., and I do not know where they are to be had. Some\nimperfect fragments on the Seventy Weeks are preserved in MS. in Trinity\nCollege Library, in Ussher's autograph; but they are far too crude and\nunfinished for publication.\n\nThe _Bibliotheca Theologica_, a work on the same plan as Cave's\n_Scriptores Ecclesiastici_, exists in MS. in the Bodleian Library, and a\ncopy from the Bodleian MS. is in Dublin. This work has not been included\nin Dr. Elrington's edition; and I remember his discussing the subject\nwith me, and deciding not to print it. His reasons were these:--1. It is\nan unfinished work, which the archbishop did not live to complete. 2. It\nis full of errors, which our present increased materials and knowledge\nof the subject would easily enable us to correct; but the correction of\nthem would swell the work to a considerable extent. 3. The work was\nused, and is frequently quoted by Cave, who seems to have published the\nmost valuable parts of it. Its publication, therefore, would not add\nanything to our knowledge, whilst it would probably detract, however\nunfairly, from the archbishop's reputation: for the public seldom make\nallowances for an unfinished work. 4. It would probably make _three_, if\nnot _four_ volumes; and Dr. Elrington did not think its publication of\nsufficient importance to warrant so great an addition to the cost and\nbulk of the Works.\n\nThe _System of Theology_ having been disclaimed by Ussher himself\n(although it is quoted as his by the Committee of the Privy Council in\ntheir decision of the \"Gorham Case\"), has not been included by Dr.\nElrington in the collection of Ussher's works.\n\nI shall be much obliged to MR. PAYNE, or to any other of your\ncorrespondents, if he will give me any information respecting the\ntreatises on the Seventy Weeks and on the Millennium, or any other\nadvice which may assist me in the completion of the fourteenth volume.\n\nI may add, that it is my intention, with the able assistance of my\nlearned friend Dr. Reeves, of Ballymena, to print a complete index to\nUssher's Works, which will be compiled by Dr. Reeves, and is now in\nactive preparation. The references to the more important works, such as\nthe _Primordia_, and _Annals_, will be so contrived as to be applicable\nto the old editions, as well as to Dr. Elrington's edition. This Index\nwill form the seventeenth volume of the Works.\n\n    JAMES H.

The forms of the small \"p\" and\n\"q\" in the Roman type, have always been puzzling to the child and the\nprinter's apprentice. In the one, the down-ward stroke is on the left of\nthe oval; in the other, on the right. Now, when the types are reversed,\nas they are when in the process of distribution they are returned by the\ncompositor to his case, the mind of the young printer is puzzled to\ndistinguish the \"p\" from the \"q.\" In sorting _pie_, or a mixed heap of\nletters, where the \"p\" and the \"q\" are not in connexion with any other\nletters forming a word, I think it would be almost impossible for an\ninexperienced person to say which is which upon the instant. \"Mind your\n_p_'s and _q_'s\"--I write it thus, and not \"Mind your P's and Q's\"--has\na higher philosophy than mind your _toup\u00e9es_ and your _queues_, which\nare things essentially different, and impossible to be mistaken. It\nmeans, have regard to small differences; do not be deceived by apparent\nresemblances; learn to discriminate between things essentially distinct,\nbut which look the same; be observant; be cautious.\n\n    CHARLES KNIGHT.\n\n_Serius Seriadesque_ (Vol. iii., p. 494.).--Il Serio, a tributary to the\nAdda, which falls into the Po. Il Serio is, like the Po, remarkable for\nthe quantity of foam floating upon it, and also for disappearing under\nground, through part of its course.\n\n    DE CAMERA.\n\n_Catharine Barton_ (Vol. iii., pp. 328. 434.).--A correspondent has\nasked what was the maiden name of this lady, the widow, as he calls her,\nof Colonel Barton. I have a note of Charles Montagu, writing of her as\n\"the beautiful, witty, and accomplished Catharine Barton,\" and have\nmarked her as the daughter of Major Barton, but cannot find my\nauthority. What follows is hardly likely to be of use to your\ncorrespondent, though it may, possibly, suggest to him a channel of\ninquiry. The Rev. Alexander Chalmers married Catharine Ekins, a niece of\nMr. Conduitt, to whose daughter he was guardian after her father's\ndeath. Mrs. Chalmers had a brother who was rector or vicar of Barton,\nNorthamptonshire. Alexander Chalmers was rector of St. Katharine\nColeman, London, and of Burstow, Surrey; clerk of St. Andrew's, Holborn;\nchaplain to the forces at Gibraltar and Port Mahon: he died in 1745, and\nwas buried in St. Katharine's: his wife was of the family of Ekins, of\nRushden, in Northamptonshire. On August 12, 1743, Alexander Chalmers\nwrites, \"This will be delivered you by my cousin Lieut. Mathew Barton,\"\nprobably his wife's cousin: in another letter he speaks of Miss Conduitt\nas his wife's cousin. Mr. Conduitt died 23rd of May, 1737, and his\nwidow's \"unexpected death\" seems to be alluded to in a letter in 1740.\n\n    DE CAMERA.\n\n_Alterius Orbis Papa_ (Vol. iii., p. 497.).--This was not, as A.B.'s\ninformant thinks, a title of honour bestowed by any Supreme Pontiff upon\nany Archbishop of Canterbury, but a mere verbal compliment passed by\nPope Urban II. upon St. Anselm, when the latter went to consult the\nformer at Rome. The words are those of Gervase, the monk of Canterbury,\nwho tells us:\n\n  \"Tantam ejus gratiam habuit, ut eum (Anselmum) alterius orbis\n  papam vocaret (Urbanus papa).\"--Ed. _Twysden_, ii. 1327.\n\nEadmer, who was with the archbishop when he went to Italy, gives the\nfollowing as the Pope's expressions:\n\n  \"Cumque illum, utpote hominem cunctis liberalium artium\n  disciplinis innutritum, pro magistro teneamus et quasi comparem,\n  velut alterius orbis Apostolicum et Patriarcham jure venerandum\n  censeamus.\"--_AA. SS. Aprilis_, t. ii. 886.\n\n    D. ROCK.\n\nYou have not told us the origin of this title. I have just been reminded\nof the omission by the dedication of _Ludovici Cappelli Commentarii_,\nAmstel., 1689, which is--\n\n  \"Wilhelmo Archiepiscopo Cantuariensi ... alterius orbis, sed\n  melioris, Pap\u00e6.\"\n\n    J. W. H.\n\n_Charles Dodd_ (Vol. ii., p. 496.).--TYRO will find an account of this\nwriter in _Biographical Illustrations of Worcestershire_: by John\nChambers, Esq.: Worcester, 1820, 8vo., p. 591., from which we learn that\nhis true name was Hugh Toot_el_, a Lancashire man born in 1672, in the\nneighbourhood of Preston. The name of Hugh Toot_le_ is recognised in the\nprospectus or announcement of Mr. Tierney's new edition of Dodd's\n_Church History of England_, of which the first and second volumes\nappeared so long ago as 1839: but I regret to say that the work is yet\nfar from being completed.\n\n    F. R. A.\n\n\"_Prenzie_\" (Vol. iii., p. 522.).--We seem now to have got to the true\nreading, \"primzie.\" The termination _zie_ suits a Scotch word perhaps.\nI only wish to mention, that the form \"prin\" is connected with the verb\n\"to preen,\" which we use of birds. Yet that again seems connected with\n_prune_. Etymology is always in a circle.\n\n    C. B.\n\n\"_In Print_\" (Vol. iii., p. 500.).--In confirmation of the statement\nmade as to the expression \"in print\" meaning \"with exactness,\" &c., I\nperfectly remember an old Somersetshire servant of our's, who used to\nsay, when he saw me romping after I was dressed: \"Take care, Sir, you'll\nput your hair _out of print_.\"\n\n    C. W. B.\n\n_Introduction of Reptiles into Ireland_ (Vol. iii., p. 491.).--The\nsnakes introduced into the county of Down in 1831, alluded to by\nEIRIONNACH, were the very harmless and easily tamed species, _Coluber\nnatrix_ of Linn\u00e6us, _Natrix torquata_ of Ray. They were purchased in\nCovent Garden Market; and, to the number of six, were turned out in the\ngarden of Rath Gael House. One was killed at Milecross, three miles\ndistant, about a week after its liberation; and three others were\nshortly afterwards killed in the same neighbourhood. The fate of the\nremaining two is unknown, but there can be little doubt that they were\nalso killed, as the country-people offered a considerable reward for\ntheir destruction. The writer well remembers the consternation and\nexceedingly angry feelings caused by this _novel importation_.\n\nWe may conclude, that though the snake is not indigenous to Ireland, yet\nthere is nothing in either the soil or climate to prevent its\nnaturalisation. It is highly probable that an insular position is\nunfavourable to the spread of the serpent tribe. Other islands--New\nZealand, for instance--as well as Ireland, have no native _Ophidia_.\n\nIt is generally, but erroneously, believed that there are no toads in\nIreland. The Natter-jack (_Bufo calamita_), a closely allied species to\nthe common toad, is found about Killarney. Can any reader inform me if\nthere is any record of its introduction?\n\n    W. PINKERTON.\n\n_Ancient Wood Engraving of the Picture of Cebes_ (Vol. iii., pp. 277.\n436.).--Your correspondent THE HERMIT OF HOLYPORT having been informed\nrespecting the _subject_ of his wood-cut, may yet be further satisfied\nto know its date, and where it is to be found. It occurs in a Latin\nversion of the _Pinax_, with a commentary by Justus Velsius, printed in\n4to., at Lyons? (Lugduni) in 1551. The title runs thus: _Justi Velseri\nHagani, in Cebetis Thebani Tabulam Commentariorum Libri Sex, Totius\nMoralis Philosophi\u00e6 Thesaurus._ The _Pinax_ commonly accompanies that\nvaluable little manual the _Enchiridion_ of Epictetus, of which that\nexcellent man John Evelyn, in a letter to Lord Cornbury, thus speaks:\n\n  \"Besides the Divine precepts, I could never receive anything from\n  Philosophy that was able to add a graine to my courage upon the\n  intellectual assaults like that _Enchiridion_ and little weapon of\n  Epictetus: 'Nunquam te quicquam perdidisse dicito, sed\n  reddidisse,' says he: 'Filius obijt? redditus est.' It is in his\n  15th chapter. You cannot imagine what that little target will\n  encounter. _I never go abroad without it in my pocket._ What an\n  incomparable guard is that: [Greek: ta de ouk eph' h\u00eamin], cap.\n  i., where he discourses of the things which _are_, and _are not_\n  in our power. I know, my Lord, you employ your retirements nobly;\n  weare this defensive for my sake,--I had almost said this\n  _Christian Office_.\"\n\n    S. W. SINGER.\n\n\"_The Groves of Blarney_\" (Vol. iii., p. 495.).--In a little volume of\nthe _Songs of Ireland_, forming one of the series called Duffy's\n_Library of Ireland_, Dublin, 1845, this song is given. In the\nintroductory notice it is said to be by Mr. R. A. Milliken, a native of\nCork. The passage referred to by your correspondent stands thus in this\nversion, which is said to be taken from Croker's _Popular Songs of\nIreland_:--\n\n      \"There's statues gracing\n      This noble place in--\n      All heathen gods,\n      And nymphs so fair;\n      Bold Neptune, Plutarch,\n      And Nicodemus,\n      All standing naked\n      In the open air!\"\n\nMr. Maloney, in his late account of the \"palace made o' windows,\" has\nevidently had these verses in his mind; and in his observations on the\n\"statues gracing _that_ noble place in,\" has adverted to their like\npeculiar predicament with the characteristic modesty of his nation.\n\n    S. H.\n\nOn this subject permit me to observe that a change has \"come o'er the\nspirit of its dream.\" A later poet, in celebrating the praises of the\nlake as the only place unchanged, says:\n\n      \"Sweet Blarney Castle, that was _wanst_ so ancient,\n        Is gone to ruin, och! and waste, and bare\n      Neptune and Plutarch is by Mrs. Deane[3] sent\n        To Ballintemple, to watch praties there.\"\n\n  [Footnote 3: Now Lady Deane.]\n\n    JUNIOR.\n\n_Tennyson's Lord of Burleigh_ (Vol. iii., p. 493.).--The poem of \"The\nLord of Burleigh\" is founded upon a supposed romance connected with the\nmarriage of the late Marquis of Exeter with his second wife, Miss\nHoggins. This marriage has also formed the groundwork of a play entitled\n_The Lord of Burghley_, published by Churton in 1845. The story of the\ncourtship and marriage perpetuated by this poem, may be found in the\n_Illustrated London News_ of the 16th November, 1844, having been\ncopied into that paper from the _Guide to Burghley House_, pp. 36.,\npublished by Drakard in 1812.\n\nA very slight tinge of romance attends the real facts of this union,\nwhich took place when the late Marquis was Mr. Henry Cecil. The lady was\nnot of so lowly an origin as the fiction relates. Mr. Cecil did not\nbecome the Lord of Burghley until the death of his uncle, the 9th Earl\nof Exeter, two years after this marriage, up to which time he resided at\nBolas, Salop, the residence of his wife before her marriage, and there\nthe two eldest of their _four_ children were born. The Countess of\nExeter died greatly beloved and respected at the early age of\ntwenty-four, having been married nearly seven years.\n\n    J. P. JUN.\n\n_Bic\u00eatre_ (Vol. iii., p. 518.)--It was certainly anciently called\nVincestre. It is so in Monstrel\u00eat, whose history begins about 1400. One\nof the treaties between the Burgundians and Orleanists was made there.\nPresident H\u00e9nault says (under Charles VI.) that this castle belonged to\nJohn, Bishop of Winchester. If he is right in the Christian name, he\nmust mean _had_ belonged, not _appartenoit_, for the John Bishops that I\nfind in Britton's list are:\n\n                            Elected.    Died.\n      John of Oxon            1261      1267\n      John de Pontessara      1282      1304\n      John de Sandale         1316      1319\n      John de Stratford       1323      1333\n\n    C. B.\n\n_On a Passage in Dryden_ (Vol. iii., p. 492.).--MR. BREEN appears to me\ndecidedly wrong in the view he takes of the passage he quotes from\nDryden. In the first place, he commits the mistake of assuming that\nDryden is expressing his own opinion, or speaking in his own person. The\nfact is, however, that the speaker is Torresmond. Torresmond is \"mad\"\nenough to love the queen; he has already spoken of the \"madness of his\nhigh attempt,\" he says he raves; and when the queen offers to give him\ncounsel for his cure, he says he wishes _not_ be cured:\n\n                \"There is a pleasure, _sure_,\n      In being mad, which none but madmen know!\"\n\nThis is inference, not assertion. Whether it be natural or not, I will\nnot say, but I can see no blunder.\n\n    S. H.\n\n_Derivation of Yankee_ (Vol. iii., p. 461.).--Washington Irving, in his\n_Knickerbocker's History of New York_, gives the same derivation of\n\"Yankee\" that is quoted from Dr. Turnbull and from Mr. Richmond.\nIrving's authority is, I believe, earlier than both these. Is the\nderivation his? and if his, is he in earnest in giving it? I ask this,\nnot because I have reason to doubt in this instance either his\nseriousness or his philological accuracy, but by way of inserting a\ncaution on behalf of the unwary. I have read or heard of a learned\nGerman who quoted that book as veritable history. The philology may be\nas baseless as the narrative. It is a happy suggestion of a derivation\nat all events, be it in jest or in earnest.\n\n    E. J. S.\n\n_Ferrante Pallavicino_ (Vol. iii., pp. 478. 523.).--Your correspondent\nCHARLES O'SOULEY will find some account of Ferrante Pallavicino in\nChalmers, or any other biographical dictionary; and a very complete one\nin the _Dictionnaire Historique_ of Prosper Marchand. The manuscript he\npossesses has been printed more than once; it first appeared in the\n_Opere Scelte di Ferrante Pallavicino_ printed at Geneva, but with the\nimprint Villafranca, 1660, 12mo., of which there are several\nreimpressions. It is there entitled _La Disgratia del Conte D'Olivares_,\nand bears the fictitious subscription of \"Madrid li 28 Gennaro, 1643,\"\nat the end. If the MS. was written at Genoa, it is most probably only a\ntranscript; for Pallavicino was resident at Venice when it appears to\nhave been written, and was soon after trepanned by a vile caitiff named\nCharles de Bresche _alias_ De Morfu, a Frenchman employed by the Pope's\nnuncio Vitellio, into the power of those whom his writings had incensed,\nand was by them put to death at Avignon in 1644.\n\n    S.

In these,\nwhich are devoted to the Judges who flourished between the years 1272\nand 1485--that is to say, from the reign of Edward I. to that of Richard\nIII. inclusive, Mr. Foss has added 473 to his former list of 580 Judges;\nand when we say, that every biography shows with what diligence, and we\nmay add with what intelligence, Mr. Foss has waded through all available\nsources of information, including particularly the voluminous\npublications of the late Record Commission, we have done more than\nsufficient to justify our opening statement, and to recommend his work\nto the favourable notice of all lovers of historical truth. To the\ngeneral reader the surveys of the reigns, in which Mr. Foss points out\nnot only everything remarkable connected with the law, but the gradual\ndevelopment of our legal system, will be by no means the least\nattractive portion of his book; while his endeavours to trace the\nsuccessive institution of the several Inns of Court and Chancery, and\nalso of the three different Inns occupied by the Judges and Serjeants,\nwill be found of great interest to the topographical antiquary.\n\nMessrs.
