Essay for a New Translation of the Bible(Vol. vii., p. 40.).—This work was written by Charles Le Cene, a French Protestant minister, who, on the revocation of the edict of Nantes, sought refuge in England, and died at London in 1703. The translation was made by Hugh Ross, a Scotchman and sea-chaplain, but who was not sufficiently ingenuous to tell his readers that it was a translation. Orme says: "The essay contains a good deal of valuable information; points out many erroneous renderings of passages of Scripture; and suggests better meanings, and the means of correcting the modern translations generally."—Bibliothecha Biblica, p. 94. A short account of Le Cene will be found in Chalmers'sBiog. Dict.See also Lewis'sTranslations of the Bible, 8vo. 1818, p. 338.

I have a copy of theEssay for a New Translation of the Bible, second edition, 1727 (not 1717), which your correspondent W. W. T. inquires about (Vol. vii., p. 40.). It is the translation of a work of the Huguenot refugee, Charles Le Cene,Projet d'une nouvelle version françoise de la Bible. H. R., who signs the dedication, was Hugh Ross, according to a note in my copy, which my father made on the authority of one of the clergy of Norwich about twenty years ago, I believe of Dr. Charles Sutton. I have been unable to ascertain anything about him, his name not appearing in any biographical dictionary I have seen, and the book not being in the Museum library. TheBiog. Universellecharges Le Cene with a tendency to Pelagian or Socinian errors, both in hisProjet, and in theVersionhe actually made, and which was printed at Amsterdam. This was a great curiosity in its way, the ancient Oriental titles, &c. being rendered in their corresponding modern analogues.

Touchstone(Vol. vii., p. 82.).—I think your correspondentAlphageis mistaken in alleging that the wordtouchstoneis so called because it "gives a musical sound when touched with a stick."
Thetouchstoneis the dark-coloured flinty slate or schistus (theLapis Lydiusof the ancients), which has been used from the remotest ages, down even to our own days, for testing gold. By touching the black stone with the metal, it leaves behind a clear mark, the colour of which indicates the distinction between the pure and alloyed. Pliny describes it (lib. xxxiii. cap. 43.):
"Auri argentique mentionem comitatur lapis quem coticulam appellant, quondam non solitus inveniri, nisi in flumine Tmolo, ut auctor est Theophrastus: nunc vero passim; quem alii Heraclium, alii Lydium vocant. His coticulis periti, cum e vena ut lima rapuerint experimentum, protinus dicunt quantum auri sit in ea, quantum argenti vel æris, scripulari differentia, mirabili ratione, non fallente."
"Auri argentique mentionem comitatur lapis quem coticulam appellant, quondam non solitus inveniri, nisi in flumine Tmolo, ut auctor est Theophrastus: nunc vero passim; quem alii Heraclium, alii Lydium vocant. His coticulis periti, cum e vena ut lima rapuerint experimentum, protinus dicunt quantum auri sit in ea, quantum argenti vel æris, scripulari differentia, mirabili ratione, non fallente."
This is the substance referred to in the apothegms of Lord Bacon, that "gold is tried by thetouchstone, and men by gold."
The French, from the same practice, know the same substance by the name ofPierre de touche. The use of the touchstone, at the present day, is thus described by Ure in hisDictionary of Arts and Mines, under the head of "Assay:"
"In such small work as cannot be assayed, by scraping off a part and cupelling it, the assayers endeavor to ascertain its fineness or quality by the touch. This is a method of comparing the colour and other properties of a minute portion of the metal, with those of small bars, the composition of which is known. These bars are calledtouch needles, and they are rubbed upon a smooth piece of black basaltes, or pottery, whichfor this reason is called the touchstone."

Straw Bail(Vol. vii., p. 85.).—Part of this Query may be answered by the following extract:
"For the bribery and perjury so painfully frequent in Attic testimony, the editor contents himself with quoting from an article in theQuarterly Review(vol. xxxiii. p. 344.), in which the Greek courts of justice are treated of.—'We have all heard of a race of men who used, in former days, to ply about our own courts of law, and who, from their manner of making known their occupation, were recognized by the name ofStraw-shoes. An advocate, or lawyer, who wanted aconvenientwitness, knew by these signs where to find one, and the colloquy between the parties was brief. 'Don't you remember?' said the advocate—(the party looked at the fee and gave no sign; but the fee increased, and the powers of memory increased with it). 'To be sure I do.' 'Then come into the court and swear it.' And Straw-shoes went into the court and swore it. Athens abounded in Straw-shoes."

Scarfs worn by Clergymen(Vol. vii., p. 108.).—Your correspondent will find the subject of his Query fully discussed in theQuarterly Reviewfor June, 1851 (vol. lxxxix. p. 222.), the result being that the use of the scarf, except by chaplains of peers, dignitaries, &c., is a wholly unauthorised usurpation of very recent date.

Cibber's Lives of the Poets(Vol. v., p. 161.; Vol. vii., p. 113.).—Mr. W. L.

It is again referred to in p. 818. as decisive of the question.

"Letters on Prejudice" (Vol. vii., p. 40.).—I have always understood from private and family sources, thatLetters on Prejudice, inquired after by W. W.

If I am right in this assertion, her brother, who was some time a fellow of the Irish University, and, if not lately dead, rector of one of the London churches, should be able to confirm it.

Nicknames(Vol. vi., p. 198.).—If your correspondent will look at Mr. Bellenden Ker'sArchæology of Popular Phrases, vol. i. p. 184., he will find an attempt to show the origin of nickname; but, whether we agree or not with Mr. Ker, the whole paragraph is worth reading for its comparative philology: it may, perhaps, bear out that the "nic" in "pic-nic" is also allied.

Nugget(Vol. vi., pp. 171. 281.).—E. N. W. inquires the meaning of the wordnugget; and W. S. replies that in Persiannuqudsignifies "ready money." This may have satisfied E. N. W., but it reminds me of Jonathan Oldbuck andA. D. L. L. I should have thought that any one who had the slightest skill in etymology would have seen at once thata nuggetis nothing more than a Yankee (?) corruption ofan ingot. As many may be in the case of E. N. W., you may as well, perhaps, give this a place in "N. & Q."

Lawyers' Bags(Vol. vii., p. 85.).—I think the statement that "prior to the trial of Queen Caroline, the colour of the bags carried by barristers wasgreen," will surprise some legal readers. I had been a barrister several years when that trial took place, and cannot think that I had ever seen (indeed that I have yet seen) a barrister or a barrister's clerk carrying a green bag. I suspect it is a mere blunder arising out of the talk about the "green bag" which was said to contain the charges against the Queen. That, however, I apprehend was not a lawyer's bag, whatever some lawyers might have to do with it.
A Templar.
J. St. J. Y.may assure himself that Colonel Landman is mistaken. I have been an attendant upon the Courts for fifty years, and therefore long before the terrible green bag containing the charges against Queen Caroline was brought into the House of Commons; and I can confidently assert that I never saw a green bag borne by a barrister or solicitor during that time. The only colours that were ever paraded in my experience by those legal functionaries, were purple and crimson; and they have so continued till the present time—I will not say without interruption, because I have been grieved to see that tailors and small London pedlars have invaded the privilege.

Catherine Barton(Vol. iii., pp. 328. 434.).—My attention has been drawn to some questions in your early Numbers respecting this lady. She was the daughter of Robert Barton of Brigstock, Northamptonshire, and Hannah Smith, half-sister of Sir Isaac Newton. The Colonel Barton of whom she is said to be the widow, was her cousin, Colonel Noel Barton, who served with distinction under Marlborough, and died at the age of forty. He was son of Thomas, eldest son of Thomas Barton of Brigstock.
The Lieutenant Matthew Barton mentioned byDe Camerawas the son of Jeffery Barton, Rector of Rashden, Northamptonshire, afterwards Admiral Barton. Jeffery was the youngest son of Thomas Barton of Brigstock.

Bells and Storms(Vol. iv., p. 508.).—Wynkin de Worde, one of the earliest of the English printers, inThe Golden Legend, observes:
"It is said, the evil spirytes that ben in the region of th' ayre, doubte moche when they here the belles ringen whan it thondreth, and when grete tempeste and rages of wether happen, to the ende that the feinds and wycked spirytes should ben abashed and flee, and cease of the movynge of tempeste."
"It is said, the evil spirytes that ben in the region of th' ayre, doubte moche when they here the belles ringen whan it thondreth, and when grete tempeste and rages of wether happen, to the ende that the feinds and wycked spirytes should ben abashed and flee, and cease of the movynge of tempeste."
We have, in Sir John Sinclair's statistical account of Scotland, an account given of a bell belonging to the old chapel of St. Fillan, in the parish of Killin, Perthshire, which usually lay on a gravestone in the churchyard. Mad people were brought hither to be dipped in the saint's pool; the maniac was then confined all night in the chapel, bound with ropes, and in the morning the bell was set on his head with great solemnity. This was the Highland cure for mania. It was the popular superstition of the district, that this bell would, if stolen, extricate itself out of the thief's hands, and return to its original place, ringing all the way.

Latin Poem(Vol. vii., pp. 6, 7.).—Lord Braybrookedoes not appear to be so correct as usual in his belief, that neither of the two Latin poems, which he quotes, have been previously in print. Crowe's beautiful monody will be found at p. 234. of his collected poems, published by Murray, 1827. The printed copy, however, which is headed
"Inscriptio in horto Auctoris apud Alton in Com.Wilt.——M. S.Gulielmi Crowe,Signif. Leg. iv.Qui cecidit in acie,8 die Jan.A.D.1815. Æt. s. 21."
has the following differences: line 7., "respexit" for "ascripsit;" l. 9., "solvo" for "pono." L. 10. and the following lines stand thus:
"Quinetiam assidue hic veniam, lentæque senectæ,De Te, dulce Caput, meditando, tempora ducam:Sæpe Tuam recolens formam, moresque decentes,Dictaque, tum sancto, et sapienti corde profecta,Tum festiva quidem, et vario condita lepore.Id mihi nunc solamen erit, dum vita manebit.Tu verò, quicunque olim successoris Hæres,Sedibus his oro, mœsti reverere parentis,"
"Quinetiam assidue hic veniam, lentæque senectæ,De Te, dulce Caput, meditando, tempora ducam:Sæpe Tuam recolens formam, moresque decentes,Dictaque, tum sancto, et sapienti corde profecta,Tum festiva quidem, et vario condita lepore.Id mihi nunc solamen erit, dum vita manebit.Tu verò, quicunque olim successoris Hæres,Sedibus his oro, mœsti reverere parentis,"
"Quinetiam assidue hic veniam, lentæque senectæ,

Sæpe Tuam recolens formam, moresque decentes,
Dictaque, tum sancto, et sapienti corde profecta,
Tum festiva quidem, et vario condita lepore.
Id mihi nunc solamen erit, dum vita manebit.
Tu verò, quicunque olim successoris Hæres,
Sedibus his oro, mœsti reverere parentis,"
and so on to the end, with one or two alterations; except in the penultimate line, "sit" for "stet;" and, in the last, "jucundi" for "dilecti."

Daubuz(Vol. vi., p. 527.).—An interesting notice of the Rev. Charles Daubuz occurs in Hunter'sHallamshire, p. 175. It is unnecessary to quote the whole, and I shall content myself with merely observing that if the dates in theHallamshireare to be depended upon, and I have almost invariably found them correct, there is a slight inaccuracy in the note copied from the commentary. Mr. Hunter writes—
"He (Daubuz) was a native of Guienne, but at twelve years of age was driven from his native country, with his only surviving parent Julia Daubuz, by the religious persecution of 1686. In 1689 he was admitted of Queen's College, Cambridge, and remained in college till 1696, when he accepted the situation of head master of the (Grammar) School of Sheffield. He left Sheffield in 1699 on being presented to the Vicarage of Brotherton near Ferry-Bridge, where he was much loved and respected. He died there on the 14th of June, 1717," &c.

When the Levant Company surrendered their charter to the crown in the year 1826, Mr. J. T. Daubuz was treasurer to the Company. He was a highly respected merchant in the city of London, and had purchased the estate of Offington, near Worthing in Sussex, an estate formerly belonging to the Lords De la Warr. Mr. Daubuz still resides at Offington.

The Bride's Seat in Church(Vol. vi., p. 424.).—One of the sermons mentioned in Surtees' note, and inquired after by J. R. M., M.A., was written by William Whately, the learned and celebrated Puritan, who was vicar of Banbury in Oxfordshire. It is entitled
"A Bride Bush, or a Wedding Sermon, compendiously describing the duties of married persons. By performing whereof, marriage shall be to them a great helpe, which now find it a little hell. London, 1617. 4to. On Eph. v. 23."
"A Bride Bush, or a Wedding Sermon, compendiously describing the duties of married persons. By performing whereof, marriage shall be to them a great helpe, which now find it a little hell. London, 1617. 4to. On Eph. v. 23."
I believe a copy of the sermon may be found in the Bodleian Library. Two propositions contained in this sermon led to Whately's being convened before the High Commission, when he acknowledged that he was unable to justify them, and recanted May 4, 1621. (See Wood'sAth. Oxon.by Bliss, vol. ii. col. 638.)

Louis Napoleon, President of France(Vol. vi., p. 435.).—Modern history furnishes more than one instance of the anomaly adverted to byMr. Relton. After the murder of Louis XVI., his son, though he never ascended the throne, was recognized by the legitimists of the day as Louis XVII.; and on the restoration of the family in 1815, the Comte d'Artois assumed the title of Louis XVIII. In this way the revolutionary chasm was, as it were, bridged over, and the dynasty of the elder Bourbons exhibited on an uninterrupted line.
So it is as regards the Napoleon dynasty. The Duke de Reichstadt, Napoleon's son, was in the same predicament as the son of Louis XVI. He received from the Bonapartists the title of Napoleon II.; and Louis Napoleon therefore becomes Napoleon III.
A similar casemighthave occurred to the House of Stuart, if the Pretender's son, who began by taking the title of Henry IX., had not extinguished the hopes and pretensions of his ill-fated race, by exchanging his "crown" for a cardinal's hat. And to-morrow (though that is perhaps a little too soon) the same thing may happen again to the elder branch of the Bourbons, should the Comte de Chambord (Henry V.) leave a son of that name to ascend the throne as Henry VI.

Chapel Plaster(Vol. vii., p. 37.).—For an explanation of the wordplaster, on which your correspondent has offered so elaborate a commentary, I would beg to refer him to White'sSelborne(vol. i. p. 5; vol. ii. p. 340., 4to. edit.):
"In the centre of the village, and near the church, is a square piece of ground surrounded by houses, and vulgarly calledThe Plestor. In the midst of this spot stood, in old times, a vast oak.... This venerable tree, surrounded with stone steps, and seats above them, was the delight of old and young, and a place of much resort in summer evenings; where the former sat in grave debate, while the latter frolicked and danced before them."ThisPleystow(Saxon, Plegstow),locus ludorum, or play-place, continues still, as in old times, to be the scene of recreation for the youths and children of the neighbourhood."

Chapel Plasteris, I believe, an outlying hamlet belonging to the parish of Box; and the name imports merely what in Scotland would be called "the Kirk on the Green"—the chapel built on, or near to, the playground of the villagers.
The fascinating volumes above named will afford a reply to an unanswered Query in your second volume (Vol. ii., p. 266.), the meaning of the local wordHanger:
"The high part to the S.W. consists of a vast hill of chalk, rising 300 feet above the village; and is divided into a sheep down, the high wood, anda long hanging wood, calledThe Hanger."—Vol. i. p. 1.

Passage in Thomson(Vol. vii., p. 67.).—Steamingis clearly the true reading, and means that the exhalations whichsteamfrom the waters are sent down again in the showers of spring. This will appear still clearer by reference to a similar passage in Milton's Morning Hymn, which Thomson was evidently copying:
"Ye mists and exhalations that now riseFrom hill orsteaminglake, dusky or grey," &c.
"Ye mists and exhalations that now riseFrom hill orsteaminglake, dusky or grey," &c.
"Ye mists and exhalations that now rise

Passage in Locksley Hall(Vol. vii., p. 25.).—If Tennyson really meant his readers to gather from the lines in question, that the curlew'scall gleamsabout the moorland, he used a very bold figure of speech, yet one not uncommon in the vivid language of Greece. For example:
"Παιὰν δὲλάμπειστόνοεσσά τε νῆÏÏ…Ï‚ ὅμαυλος."
"Παιὰν δὲλάμπειστόνοεσσά τε νῆÏÏ…Ï‚ ὅμαυλος."
And again,
"Ἔλαμψε... á¼€Ïτίωςφανεῖσαφάμα." (Sophocles.)
"Ἔλαμψε... á¼€Ïτίωςφανεῖσαφάμα." (Sophocles.)
So also,
"ΒοὰπÏÎπει." (Pindar and Æschylus.)
"ΒοὰπÏÎπει." (Pindar and Æschylus.)
May it not, however, be just possible that Tennyson did not meananything?

Henneman.Aug. 30. 1852.to Mr. R.W. Thomas."

MR. R. W. THOMAS begs most earnestly to caution photographers against purchasing impure chemicals, which are now too frequently sold at very low prices. It is to this cause nearly always that their labours are unattended with success.
Chemicals of absolute purity, especially prepared for this art, may be obtained from R. W. THOMAS, Chemist and Professor of Photography, 10. Pall Mall.
N.B.—The name of Mr. T.'s preparation, Xylo-Iodide of Silver, is made use of by unprincipled persons. To prevent imposition each bottle is stamped with a red label bearing the maker's signature.
KERR & STRANG, Perfumers and Wig-Makers, 124. Leadenhall Street, London, respectfully inform the Nobility and Public that they have invented and brought to the greatest perfection the following leading articles, besides numerous others:—Their Ventilating Natural Curl; Ladies and Gentlemen's PERUKES, either Crops or Full Dress, with Partings and Crowns so natural as to defy detection, and with or without their improved Metallic Springs; Ventilating Fronts, Bandeaux, Borders, Nattes, Bands à la Reine, &c.; also their instantaneous Liquid Hair Dye, the only dye that really answers for all colours, and never fades nor acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dyes; it is permanent, free of any smell, and perfectly harmless. Any lady or gentleman, sceptical of its effects in dyeing any shade of colour, can have it applied, free of any charge, at KERR & STRANG'S, 124. Leadenhall Street.
Sold in Cases at 7s.6d., 15s., and 20s.Samples, 3s.6d., sent to all parts on receipt of Post-office Order or Stamps.
