"The maimed souldier comming from the warre;

The woefull wight, whose house was lately burnd;

The sillie soule; the woful traueylar;

And all, whom Fortune at her feet hath spurnd;

Lament the losse of Liberalitie;

Itsease to haue in griefe some companie."

While on the opposite page we have "itsoule" for "itssoule," thus:

"But as a woefull mother doeth lament,Her tender babe, with cruel death opprest;Whose life was spotlesse, pure and innocent,(And therefore sureitsoule is gone to rest):So Bountie, which herselfe did upright keepe,Yet for her losse, loue cannot chuse but weepe."

"But as a woefull mother doeth lament,

Whose life was spotlesse, pure and innocent,

(And therefore sureitsoule is gone to rest):

So Bountie, which herselfe did upright keepe,

Yet for her losse, loue cannot chuse but weepe."

May not this lead to the conclusion that it was to avoid confusion with the ellipsis ofit is, that the possessive case was thus writtenit?

"Hip, hip, hurrah!"(Vol. viii., pp. 20. 185.).—No one, I think, who heard the cheering of the ships' companies at the late naval review can doubt thatCheverell'sexplanation of "hip, hip," is the true one. They are notwords, but interjectionalsounds; with no other meaning than to prepare for andtimethe coming "hurrah!" When the men are ready to cheer, the boatswain's mate gives the signal "hip, hip," and then follows the general "hurrah!" This practice is adopted in public assemblies for the same reason—to ensure concert and unity in the final cheer. "Hurrah!" also I take (paceSir F. Palgrave) to be a meresound: anaturalexclamation of pleasure, with no more instrinsic meaning than "Oh!" or "Ah!" for pain, or "Bah!" for contempt. It surely can have no connexion with the phrase of old Norman law—"clameurs de haro:" for "haro" is an exclamation of dissent and opposition. "Crierharosur quelqu'un," is to excite mischief and scandal against him—the very reverse ofhurrah!

Derivation of "Wellesley"(Vol. viii., p. 173.).—In reply to J. M., I think the following particulars I may not be uninteresting to him. There is good reason to believe that the name of Wellesley was derived from an ancient manor about one mile south of Wells, called Wellesleigh, which once, belonged to the Bishops of Bath and Wells. It is certain that a family called "De Wellsleigh" lived, and held considerable lands in this manor at a very remote period. In 1253, a Philip de Wellsleigh, and in 1349 another of the same name, are recorded as holding part of the manor of the Bishops of Bath and Wells. These lands, with the serjeanty and office of bailiff and "cryer of the hundred," passed into the family of the Hills of Spaxton,A.D.1435. In 7 Henry VII., John Stourton held half a knight's fee in this manor: "formerly held by William de Wellsleigh." I have an original deed in my possession dated 26th Edward I., being a feoffment or grant of lands in Dinder (an adjoining parish) by William Le Fleming, "Dn̄s de Dynder," in which "Thomas de Welesleȝe" and "Robert de Welesleȝe" (so the name is spelt) are, among others, named as witnesses. This manor was held by the Bishops of Bath and Wells until the time of Ralph de Salopia (succeededA.D.1329, diedA.D.1363), who gave it to the vicars choral of the cathedral, by who it has been held down to the last year (1852), when they sold the fee of it to Robert Charles Tudway, Esq., M.P. for Wells.

Penny-come-quick(Vol. viii., pp. 8. 113. 184.).—Your correspondents on the subject of this name do not appear to be aware that there is a place also so called in Ireland: a small public-house, and one or two others, on the high road between Wicklow and Arklow, near the sea-shore, three miles north of the latter town. In Taylor and Skinners Road Maps of Ireland (1776), it is spelled "Penny-con-quick." I have been there, and do not think that the site countenances H. C. K.'s ingenious etymology.

Eugene Aram's Comparative Lexicon(Vol. vii., p. 597.).—Mr. E. S. Taylorwill perhaps be glad to know that specimens of the aboveLexiconwere printed at the end of a small work published about twenty-five years since by Mr. Bell of Richmond (Yorkshire), entitledThe Trial and Life of Eugene Aram.

Wooden Tombs and Effigies(Vol. vii., pp. 528. 607., &c.).—At Sparsholt, Berks, in the south transept are two female effigies of wood, under sepulchral arches, richly carved in stone: one of them is engraved in Hollis'sMonuments. At Burghfield and Barkham, in the same county, are also wooden effigies of the fourteenth century.

At Hildersham Church, Cambridgeshire, within the altar rails, on the north side, is a wooden monument of a knight and his lady: the knight cross-legged, and drawing his sword. They are said to be the effigies of Sir Thomas Busteler and lady, temp. Edward II.

Queen Anne's Motto(Vol. viii., p. 174.).—By an order of the queen in council, 17th of April, 1707, consequent upon the union of Scotland with England, it was declared in what manner the ensigns armorial of the United Kingdom (called Great Britain) should thenceforth be borne; when it was also declared that her majesty's motto, "Semper eadem," should becontinued.

Longevity(Vol. vii., p. 368. &c.).—Several of the upland parishes bordering on the river Yare have had remarkable instances of longevity. One of the best authenticated was a man named Pottle, who resided on the Reedham estate of the late J. F. Leathes, Esq., of Herringfleet. When Pottle was 104 years old, the tenantry on the estate subscribed to have his portrait painted,which they presented to their landlord, each retaining a lithograph copy of it. Many of these copies I have seen. Two years after this I conversed with the old man, who was then keeping cows on a common. There was nothing remarkable about him except his voice, which was very loud and powerful. He has now been dead some time, but I do not know his exact age at death.

In the register of burials for the parish of Runham, Norfolk, is this entry:

"August 12, 1788. William Russels, aged One hundred and one years."

The clergyman has entered the age in round text-hand, evidently that the entry might not escape notice.

Green Pots used for drinking from by Members of the Temple(Vol. viii., p. 171.).—The green pots mentioned in Sir Julius Cæsar's letter had been introduced into the Inner Temple about thirty years before its date. This appears from the following passage in Dugdale'sOrigines Juridiciales(1680), p. 148., where he refers to the register of that Society, fol. 127a.:

"Untill the second year of Q. Eliz. reign, this Society did use to drink in Cups of Ashen-Wood (such as are still used in the King's Court), but then those were laid aside, and green earthen pots introduced, which have ever since continued."

When were these green pots discontinued? Paper Buildings were erected nearly fifty years before Dugdale's time. The new part built in 1849 was on the south of these, which may, perhaps, have been the site of the dust-hole of the Society, and thus become the depositary of the broken pots mentioned by B.

Shape of Coffins(Vol. viii., p. 104.).—As bearing somewhat uponMr. Ellacombe'sQuery, allow me to remark that when travelling a few years since in the United States, having about an hour's delay in the city of Rochester, N. Y., I entered one of the churches during a funeral service. When the ceremony (at which a considerable number of persons attended) was concluded, the congregation left their seats and walked in very orderly procession towards the reading-desk, in front of which was placed the coffin, without any pall or covering. They then slowly walked round it, in order, as I afterwards found, to take their last look at the departed. This they were enabled to do without the removal of the lid, by raising the upper or head portion of it, which was hinged a square of glass beneath allowing the face to be seen. This strange custom, which, for my own part, I think would be "more honoured by the breach than the observance," as the recollection of the living face to me is far preferable to that of death, I do not remember to have seen noticed by any of our many travellers in America, though I afterwards found it to be general. The coffins, which are somewhat differently shaped to ours, sloping towards the feet, are rarely covered with cloth; but are generally made of some hard wood such as walnut, highly polished.

Old Fogies(Vol. viii., p. 154.).—There may be too much of even a good thing, and I wish some of the writers in "N. & Q." would study compression a little. A short paragraph which I wrote, more in jest than earnest, on the above phrase, has drawn down on me no less than two columns from J. L. But this comes of meddling with Scotland.

One might fancy that J. L. was the Irish, not the Scottish advocate, for he proves the prior claim of Scotland by showing that the word which I had stated to have been in use in Dublin in the first half of the last century, was known in Edinburgh in the last half of it. He must also excuse my saying that he does not seem ever to have studied etymology, one of the rules of which is, that if a probable origin of a word can be found in the language to which it belongs, we should not seek elsewhere. Nowfogie(i.e.folkie, the Dutchvolkje) comes as surely fromfolk, aslassiefromlass, or any other diminutive from its primitive. I now have done with the subject.

Swan-marks(Vol. viii., p 62.).—W. Collyn'sremark on swan-marks may mislead; therefore it is worth noting that "the swan with two necks" is not "a corruption of theprivatemark of the owner of the swans, viz. two nicks made by cutting theneck feathersclose in two places." The nicks were made in thebeak; and the privilege of having swan-marks was by grant from the crown.

The Vintners' Company's mark for their swans on the Thames was two nicks; hence a two-nicked swan was a very appropriate sign for a tavern. The royal swans are marked with five nicks, two lengthwise, and three across the bill (See Hone'sEvery-day Book, 1827, p. 963; Yarrell'sBritish Birds; Jardine'sNat. Lib.;Penny Cyclop., art. "Swan.") It is to be noted, however, that Hone is in error in saying the two nicks are theroyalswan-mark.

Limerick, Dublin, and Cork(Vol. viii., p. 102.).—I should think the author of this doggrel couplet, if we are to consider it as a fair specimen of his poetic genius, may safely be permitted to remain in obscurity. Be that as it may, the lines are by no means new, nor are they confined to the sister isle alone. In theProphecies of Nixon, the Cheshire Merlin, who lived nobody knows when, except that it was certainly a "long time ago," we are given to understand that:

"London streets shall run with blood,And at last shall sinkSo that it shall be fulfilled,That Lincoln was, London is, and York shall beThe finest city of the three."

"London streets shall run with blood,

And at last shall sink

So that it shall be fulfilled,

That Lincoln was, London is, and York shall be

The finest city of the three."

As I have just stated, the original date of thesePropheciesis somewhat involved in mystery; but I myself possess copies of three different editions published during the last century, the first of the three, purporting to be the sixth edition, bearing date London, 1719. A Life of Nixon, affixed to this edition, states him to have lived and prophesied in the reign of King James I.; at whose court, we are farther told, he was, in conformity with his own prediction, starved to death. HisPropheciesare, by the learned, held to be apocryphal; the country folk of Cheshire, on the contrary, have as much faith in them and their author as they have in the fact of their own existence.

Character of the Song of the Nightingale(Vol. vii., p. 397.; Vol. viii., p. 112.).—Although Milton seems to have generally used the epithetsolemnin its classical sense (as cleverly pointed out byMr. Sydney Gedge), and meant to represent the nightingale as thecustomaryattendant of night, yet there is at least one passage where the epithet appears to me not to have this meaning; but to express that the song of the nightingale caused "a holy joy," and was heard not only in the day-time, but all through the night. For although Milton calls the nightingale "the night-warbling bird," and so makes it "the customary attendant of the night," yet he also elsewhere as truly speaks of it as adaysinger. The passage I referred to is inParadise Lost, book vii., and seems to me to bear the meaning above spoken of; thoughMr. Gedgemay perhaps make "solemn" refer back to the last noun "even." And I confess that the meaning seems dubious:

"From branch to branch, the smaller birds with songSolac'd the woods, and spread their painted wingsTill even; nor then the solemn nightingaleCeas'd warbling, but all night tun'd her soft lays."

"From branch to branch, the smaller birds with song

Solac'd the woods, and spread their painted wings

Till even; nor then the solemn nightingale

Ceas'd warbling, but all night tun'd her soft lays."

I can add one other epithet to the one hundred and nine which I have already given of the nightingale's song:

Wond'ring.Dryden ("Palamon and Arcite").

I may add, that Otway and Grainger (erroneously printed Graingle) appear to have used "solemn" in the ordinary meaning of the word.

Adamson's "Lusitania Illustrata"(Vol. viii., p. 104.).—Your correspondent W. M. M. may consult the following works with great advantage:

"Résumé de l'Histoire Littéraire du Portugal, suivi du Résumé de l'Histoire Littéraire du Brésil, 12mo.: Paris, 1826.""Parnaso Lusitano, ou Poesias selectas dos auctores Portuguezos antigos e modernos, illustrados cum notas, percedido de una Historia abreviada da lingua e poesia Portugueza, tom. v., 18mo. Paris, 1826."

"Résumé de l'Histoire Littéraire du Portugal, suivi du Résumé de l'Histoire Littéraire du Brésil, 12mo.: Paris, 1826."

"Parnaso Lusitano, ou Poesias selectas dos auctores Portuguezos antigos e modernos, illustrados cum notas, percedido de una Historia abreviada da lingua e poesia Portugueza, tom. v., 18mo. Paris, 1826."

The destruction by fire of Mr. Adamson's library, which was so rich in Portuguese literature, has, with other circumstances, hitherto prevented the continuation of theLusitania Illustrata; but the appearance of future parts, in furtherance of the original plan, is by no means abandoned.

Adamsoniana(Vol. vii., p. 500.; Vol. viii., p. 135.).—I was aware of the way in which the famous naturalist spelt his name, but supposed that Michel Adanson and Michael Adamson were the same, the former being merely the French mode of writing according to their pronunciation. I was also aware of the leading events in the naturalist's own career, but was desirous if possible of identifying his father: "the gentleman who, after firmly attaching himself to the Stuarts, left Scotland, and entered the service of the Archbishop of Aix."

Perhaps I may be more fortunate in obtaining some information respecting another Scot of the same name: James Adamson, for thirty-one years rector of Tigh, in Rutlandshire, who is described in the inscription upon his tombstone as "natu Scotus, Anglus vita, moribus antiquis, cum rege suo in prosperis et adversis." I believe he was the father of John Adamson, M.A., Rector Of Burton Coggles, in Lincolnshire: the author of two sermons; one published in 1698, and entitledThe Duty of Daily frequenting the Public Serviceof the Church; another in 1707, being theFuneral Sermon for Sir E. Turnor of Stoke Rochford[6](whose chaplain he was), a great promoter of pious and charitable undertakings. Can these sermons be now procured? Is anything further known respecting the author or his family?

Stanzas in "Childe Harold"(Vol. iv.passim).—This stanza has already occupied too many of your pages; will you, however, allow me to put a ryder on it, by referring your correspondents to Lord Byron'sownignorance of the meaning of an expression in this stanza, expressed in a letter to Murray, published in Moore'sLife, Letter 323, dated Venice, 24th September, 1818, when, after pointing out an error in the same canto, he says:

"What does 'thy waterswastedthem' mean?That is not me.Consult the MS. always."

And in a note by Moore on this letter, he says, "This passage retainsalsouncorrected."

At the end of this letter Byron writes, "I saw the canto by accident." Query: If Byron only saw his cantos by "accident," would not a new edition of his works collated with his MSS. be "a consummation devoutly to be wished."

"Well's a fret"(Vol. viii., p. 197.).—This is one of a class which will be lost if not recorded. Forty years ago, in the West of England, and perhaps elsewhere, a servant, when teased by a child to know where such a person was, would answer—

"In his skinWhen he jumps out, you may jump in."

"In his skin

When he jumps out, you may jump in."

The answer toEh? was alwaysStraw. I dare say more of these things will be produced. What ought they to be called?

(the titleMistressbeing given at that period to marriageable young ladies) was not thewife, but thesisterof Colonel Barton. Both were the children of Hannah Smith, Newton's half-sister, and Robert Barton. Mrs. C. B. was born about 1680.

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

"What Horace Walpole attempted, and what Sir Charles Lock Eastlake has done for oil-painting—elucidated its history and traced its progress in England by means of the records of expenses and mandates of the successive Sovereigns of the realm—Mr. Hudson Turner has now achieved for Domestic Architecture in this country during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries."—Architect.

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE MIDDLE AGES. Vol. II.—THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY. By the Editor of "The Glossary of Architecture."

This volume is issued on the plan adopted by the late Mr. Hudson Turner in the previous volume: viz., collecting matter relating to Domestic buildings of the Period, from cotemporary records, and applying the information so acquired to the existing remains.

Not only does the volume contain much curious information both as to the buildings and manners and customs of the time, but it is also hoped that the large collection of careful Engravings of the finest examples will prove as serviceable to the profession and their employers in building mansions, as the Glossary was found to be in building churches.

The Text is interspersed throughout with numerous woodcuts.
