M. or N.(Vol. i., p. 415.;Vol. ii., p. 61.;Vol. iii., p. 323.).—With reference to the initials or letters M. and N. found in the Catechism and the Marriage Service of our Common Prayer Book, it has struck me that a fancy of mine may satisfy some of those who wish to find more than a mere caprice in the selection of them.
It is remarkable that in the Catechism we read N. or M., while in the service for Matrimony M. is for the man, N. for the woman.
I have imagined long ago that "N. or M." may mean "nomen viri; autmulieris:" that M. may stand for "maritus" in the other place, and N. for "nupta."
TYROETYMOLOGICUS.
TYROETYMOLOGICUS.
N. stands (as it constantly did in MS.) for "nomen" or name; M. for N. N., "nomina" or names. You will observe that in black letter the forms of N and M are so very similar that by an easy contraction double N would pass into M, and thus the contracted form N. N. for "nomina" might have come into M. Corroborating this is the fact that the answer to What is your name? stands thus: Answer N. or M., and not M. or N.

P.S. Throughout the Matrimonial Service I observe M. attached to the man's name, but N. to the woman's.
Dancing Trenchmore(Vol. iii., p. 89.).—Your correspondent S. G. asks the meaning of this phrase?Trenchmorewas a very popular dance in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The earliest mention I find of it occurs in 1564, and the latest in 1728. The figure and the musical notes may be seen in the fifth and later editions ofThe Dancing Master. See also Chappell'sNational English Airs, vol. ii. p. 181., where some amusing quotations concerning its popularity are given.Trenchmore(the meaning of which we have to seek) was, however, more particularly the name of thedancethan the tune. Thedance, in fact, was performed tovarioustunes. In proof of this I give the following quotation from Taylor the water-poet'sNavy of Land Ships, 1627:
"Nimble-heel'd mariners (like so many dancers) capring in the pompes and vanities of this sinful world, sometimes a Morisco, orTrenchmoreof forty miles long, to the tune ofDusty my deare,Dirty come thou to me,Dun out of the mire, orI waile in woe and plunge in paine: all these dances have no other musicke."

Demosthenes and New Testament(Vol. iii., p. 350.).—If your correspondent C. H. P. had referred to theCritici Sacri, he would have found his questions answered. With regard to the quotation from Acts xvii. 21., I beg to inform him that Drusius makes the same reference, but generally only, as Pricæus; while Grotius gives the passages with particular references, in the same manner as Lagnerius. As to the passage from St. Matthew xiii. 14., he would have found, had he consulted theCritici Sacri, that Grotius quotes the same passage from Demosthenes as Pricæus; but, as far as I can see, they are the only commentators in that work who observed the parallel passages. However, the fact of its being "employed as an established proverb by Demosthenes having been generally overlooked," as C. H. P. supposes, is not quite correct, as it is mentioned in the brief notes in Dr. Burton'sGreek Testament, Oxon., 1831.

English French(Vol. iii., p. 346.).—I take the liberty to inform C. W. B., for the justification of my countrymen, as well as of his own, that theGuide to Amsterdamwas probably written by a British subject born between the tropics, and will point out, not by way of reprisals, but as a curiosity of the same sort, an example of French-English to be found in a book just published by Whittaker and Co., entitledWhat's What in 1851? Let any one who understands French try to read the article, p. 69., headed "Qu'êst que, qu'êst que la veritable luxure en se promenant," and if he can guess at the meaning of the writer, no foreign-English I ever met with will ever give him trouble.

Deans, when styled Very Reverend(Vol. iii., p. 352.).—I cannot answer this question, but I can supply a trace, if not a clue. I find in a long series of old almanacks that the list of deans is invariably given asthe Reverendthe dean down to 1803 inclusive. I unluckily have not those for the three next years, but in that for 1807 I find "the very Reverendthe dean."

Duchess of Buckingham(Vol. iii., p. 281.).—There is one circumstance omitted by P. C. S. S., in his remarks upon the Duchess of Buckingham, which explains whya Phipps, on being called to the peerage, chose the titles of Mulgrave and Normanby.
By her second husband—the Duke of Buckingham and Normanby—she had one son, who succeeded to the title and estates; but, dying unmarried during his mother's lifetime,bequeathed to her all the Mulgrave and Normanby property. Her daughter (by her first marriage with James Annesley, third Earl of Anglesey) was then the wife of Mr. W. Phipps, son of Sir Constantine Phipps, Lord Chancellor of Ireland: to their issue, Constantine Phipps, first Lord Mulgrave, the Duchessleft by will these estates; thus founding her grandson's fortune, although she did not live to see him created the first Baron Mulgrave.
The Sheffield Buckingham family, although extinct in the male line, is represented in the female branch by the Sheffield Dicksons; Mrs. Dickson, the widow of Major Dickson, of the Life-Guards, being in direct descent from the Lady Catherine Darnley's husband, by another wife.

Howe Family(Vol. iii., p. 353.).—Your correspondent who asks what was the connexion of the Howes with the royal family, will find in Walpole'sReminiscences(ch. ii.) that Charlotte Viscountess Howe, the mother of Captain Howe, afterwards the celebrated admiral, and of General Sir William Howe, was the daughter of George I. by Madame Kelmansegge, Countess of Platen, created in England Countess of Darlington.

Dr. Gregory, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh, and the translator of Reichenbach'sResearches on Magnetism, has just published a volume destined, we believe, to excite considerable attention, both from the nature of its subject and the position of the writer. It is entitledLetters to a Candid Inquirer on Animal Magnetism, and in the first Part, after describing the phenomena, and their application to medical purposes, and to the explanation of much that is obscure in what is called Magic or Witchcraft, "a great part of which appears to have rested on a knowledge of these phenomena possessed by a few in an ignorant age," Dr Gregory suggests, not as a fully developed theory, but simply as a conceivable idea, an explanation of themodus operandiin magnetic phenomena, especially in clairvoyance. The basis of this explanation is the existence of that universally diffused power or influence, the existence of which, in Dr. Gregory's opinion, Reichenbach has demonstrated. The second Part consists of a large and startling collection of mostly unpublished cases; and Dr. Gregory expresses his conviction that if the evidence is fairly studied, it will be impossible to believe that the alleged facts are the result of imposture or of delusion; or to resist the conviction, which investigation will confirm, that the essential facts, however apparently marvellous, are yet true, and have been faithfully reported. These cases are indeed most extraordinary, and would, at first sight, seem more fitted to fill our Folk Lore columns than to become the subject of scientific enquiry; and most readers, we believe, will rise from their perusal with an inclination to admit that there are more things true than are dreamt of in their philosophy—some with an anxious doubt whether these "arts" are not as "forbidden" as they are "curious."
The Society of Arts have opened a reading-room for the gratuitous use of foreign visitors to London during the Great Exhibition. Our readers will be doing a kindness to their friends from the Continent by making them acquainted with this act of liberality and good feeling on the part of the Society of Arts.
