"Fugi tamen, quantum potui, grammaticorum contentiones de literis, vocumque apicibus, si modò integra et expedita videbatur sententia, non nimis solicitus."

The expression (by the bye), "qui ad nostram ætatem pervenerunt," following "qui hodie extant," is surely somewhat redundant, not to say notably tautological. J. B. SHAW.

DISEMBOWELMENT (4th S. ii. 9, 64.)—How the Taricheute of old disposed of the internals of those they disembowelled, I know not; but the Taricheute at Whitehall, in the last years of the eighteenth century, seem to have been very careless varlets. There is in Burnet a very grim passage relating to the embalming of Charles II., in which it is stated that so negligent were the operators of the dépouilles of royalty, that, some days after they had finished their hideous work, portions of his majesty's "inwards" were visible on the edges of the sink down which they had been thrown. If anything could add to the four of the magnificent lines

"Sceptre and crown

Must tumble down,

And in the dust be equal made

With the poor crooked scythe and spade,”

it might be the knowledge of the fact that, in a parliamentary inquiry into alleged malpractices at the flulks at Woolwich held some twenty-five years since, at the instance of the late Mr. Duncombe, it was elicited that the "internals" of convicts dissected after death were habitually flung into the Thames. Their "inwards" were not in worse case than those of "Carolus II. D. G. Rex Britanniarum" had been.

The embalmers, I have heard, positively refused to have anything to do with the corpse of Louis XV., so dire was the state to which the remains had been reduced by the loathsome disease which had caused death. Yet, strange to relate, when the body of Louis the Well-beloved was torn from its coffin during the revolutionary frenzy, it was found in a remarkably good state of preservation-"les fesses in particular, a contemporary chronicler tells us, "plump and rosy." A wag might have accounted for the slow progress of decomposition by assuming that Louis never had any bowels. Of which of his predecessors who was embalmed was it written

Putney.

AEROGRAPHY (4th S. ii. 12.)-It is so strange there should be so perceptible a difference in the weight of the same person in the time mentioned by your correspondent, that I think there must have been some mistake in weighing. I should like to ask, Was the person weighed twice in the same scales, machine, or manner? Were the scales and weights or machine correct and in good working order each time? Was there no alteration in his dress, or in the contents of his pockets? Did the weighing take place in a pair of scales, or in a machine in which the indicator is a spring? The first mentioned only would, I think, be reliable. Before we could be sure the weight was taken correctly, we should ascertain that all extra to the body was exactly the same in both weighings, and that no error could arise from difference of dress or contents of pockets; was this done? As difference in weight can only proceed from the addition or taking away of matter, a person so weighed could only differ in weight by loss through perspiration from violent exercise, or from fulness or emptiness of stomach, or other acts not needful to particularise. Yet any difference from these causes would require a very sensitive beam to show. More or less inflation of lungs would only affect the specific gravity, not the actual weight. R. B.

MONUMENTAL ADVERTISEMENTS (4th S. ii. 33): NATHANIEL GODBOLD.- The following extract from a letter of my late friend Mr. Davy, the well-known Suffolk collector, may interest some reader of "N. & Q." He wrote:

"While collecting materials for the history of the family of Godbold, one name ought not to be omitted, having been a good deal talked of at one time; I mean Nathaniel Godbold, originally of Bungay, who made a large fortune by his vegetable balsam, bought an estate near Godalming in Surrey, and died in 1799."

The Godbolds were and are very numerous in Suffolk, and I never clearly made out to what family this Nathaniel belonged. He had two sons, Nathaniel and Samuel, one of whom was married at Beccles in that county, the other at Harleston in Norfolk.

You did me the favour to insert an inquiry respecting Sir William Godbold in one of your earliest issues (1st S. i. 93); but I presume it never attracted the notice of any of your readers who could answer it.

PERVERSE PRONUNCIATION (4th S. i. 11, 82, 603.) In a parish not far from Norwich occur the names of Girling and Aldred. They are pronounced by the labourers Gallant and Aldridge. Very frequently names derived from the French or Norman-French get changed by illiterate ple. Thus, Boileau is called in Norfolk Balew, and all over England Beaufort is pronounced Bewfort by the same class. In a public office in London I knew a person named Bienvenu called

peo

by the messengers Bangvenner. A person coming from a distance into a country place, and bearing an unfamiliar name, stands a good chance of being thus miscalled. In a village near Sherborne, in Dorsetshire, I inquired, about three weeks ago, for a farmer who had come into the place from Hampshire, aud who, having only lived in it some seven years, had not given the good people time to learn exactly what his name ought to be; they accordingly directed me to Farmer Firkison, Firkis, Pirkison, and Perkins. His real name was Ferguson-a foreign one in a village full of the West of England names, Janes, Guppy, Bewsey, Beer, and Jesty. Hills, a man who drives me to town in the morning, has been so constantly called Hill that he has given up the final s, and gives his name as Hill. As to getting surnames spelt or printed correctly, I am afraid that is impossible. I have a very little crow to pluck with your printer, who, in the index to the 4th S. i., has spelt my name Barckley, and not as I write it

C. W. BARKLEY.

MAZES (3rd S. x. 283, 363, 398.)-In October, 1866, I addressed to you a query respecting the earthworks called Mazes, Troy Towns, Julian's Bowers, or Shepherds' Races; and I mentioned two which I myself knew-one at Comberton in Cambridgeshire, and the other at Leigh in Dorsetshire. I have within the last month visited the one at Leigh-the Miz-Maze, as it is called there. My description of it was not quite correct, as, speaking from memory, I described it as being traced upon a dead level. It is on the highest part of a field on the top of a hill a quarter of a mile from the village, and is slightly hollow in the middle, and enclosed by a bank about three feet high. It is circular, and thirty-three paces in diameter. I am sorry to say that the turf has grown over the little trenches, and that it is now impossible to trace the pattern of the maze.

The one at Comberton is, I hope and believe, perfect still. I do hope that any reader of "N. & Q." in whose neighbourhood such a curious thing exists will give a man half-a-day's work in the winter, and have the little gutters cleared out. My father, the people tell me, used to have the one at Leigh scoured when he lived there five and thirty years ago, but nobody takes any notice of it now" these things are quite out of date." C. W. BARKLEY.

PULSATION (4th S. ii. 37.)-I think that the

few incidental references which Mr. Wood makes

in his Giants and Dwarfs to the pulses of these beings point to the fact that the pulses were as abnormal as the bodies in which they beat. For example, he says (p. 144) Cajanus's pulse beat fifty-two times in a minute. At p. 154 we learn that MacGrath's pulse beat nearly sixty times a minute. At p. 180 we are told that Cotter's

pulse was feeble, languid, and slow. At p. 377 we find that Crane, a dwarf, had no perceivable pulse. J. B. A.

MOTHER SHIPTON (4th S. ii. 83.)-Up to within the last five years there hung in the large room at the old Crown and Woolpack Inn, on the Great North Road, Conington Lane, near Stilton, a large oil-painting, some six feet by four in size, representing Mother Shipton. The central figure of the picture was a gentleman, three-quarter length, in the dress of the middle of the last century, who was looking direct at the spectator. Around him were five or six ladies, in contemporaneous costume; one was leaning her head on his shoulder, another had one of her hands thrust into his waistcoat. Labels proceeded from the mouths of all; but I can only recall the legend of one, which was "Oh, mother! I see a man." In the upper left-hand portion of the picture, appearing over the shoulders of the others, was the figure of Mother Shipton, with a most forbidding expression on her hooked features, which were shown in profile. The painting was probably of the date of circa 1750, and was tolerably well executed. Its possessor knew nothing of its history or subject, beyond that it was a representation of Mother Shipton. CUTHBERT BEDE.

ST. THOMAS A BECKET (4th S. ii. 66.) The piece of pavement on which the brain of St. Thomas had been scattered, and also his tunic stained with blood, are stated by Baronius to have been brought to Rome by the cardinal legates, Albert and Theodwine, and deposited in the Canon Morris records church of St. Mary Major. this in the concluding chapter of his Life of St. Thomas of Canterbury, p. 390; and his reference to Baronius is given thus: "Ep. Jo. Sar. i. pp. 26, F. C. H. 56, 60, 77, 80, 93, 94.

"THE HOLY COURT" (4th S. ii. 55.)-My edition of the Holy Court is the third, published in 1663; but from the references given by MR. BEALE it is impossible to find the passages to which he refers. In my copy the fourth tome is paged in continuation of the third, and begins with 529. Will MR. BEALE give more precise references to treatise and section? F. C. H.

MRS. M. OSWALD (4th S. i. 460, 569.)—Perhaps H. will add to the favour he has already conferred, by informing F. M. S. if the Richard Murray mentioned by him is the same Richard who is said by Sir R. Douglas, in his Baronage, to have married a daughter of Patrick Smyth of Braco, and Catherine Graham, daughter of the Bishop

of Orkney?

name striking me as singular, I one day inquired of her relatives as to its origin and meaning, when they told me it was understood to come from Généviève. I believe they were Devonshire people by long residence. The old lady died at Uffculm, in co. Devon. Her name should be in the register. P. HUTCHINSON. PLAYING CARDS (4th S. ii. 78.)-In the Spiritual Quixote (book v. chap. 5), D. S. will find a striking essay on the use of message-cards. A note in the previous chapter says they had been lately introduced. The scene is at Bath during Mr. Nash's time, and the novel was written about 1766, five years after his death. The preacher, Wildgoose, has been inveighing against gaming, and is somewhat startled at the conclusion of his discourse by a footman presenting him a card, which he thought was a joke on his line of argument, but found a message on the back. Invitations were conveyed originally by servants, and cards were introduced to guard against their mistakes. A quotation of a few lines will show the style of the writing:

"How remote from probability is it, that a grave divine, who is continually inveighing against the vices and follies of the age, should have a pack of soiled cards in his pocket, ready for his engagements of business or pleasure?"

After mentioning many absurdities of the custom, it is added in a note:

HERALDIC QUERY (4th S. ii. 29.)-The simplest method of describing the meaning of one coat of arms being semé of another, is by giving an example. The original arms of the Beaumonts were Azure, a lion rampant or; but on the marriage of one of the members of the family with a daughter of the royal house of France, he and his descendauts were permitted to add the French arms to their shield, thus making Azure, semé de fleurs-delys, a lion rampant or; or, as a French herald might blazon it, Beaumont semé de France.

It is essential that both coats intended to be thus combined should be of the same tinctures: thus it would be impossible to have Argent, a fess gules, semé with Or, three cinquefoils vert.

CRANMER FAMILY (3rd S. vii. 376, 425; xi. 66.) MR. HAZLITT will easily discover whether the autograph in his book is that of Robert Cranmer of Mitcham, because a facsimile of his signature is given in the Gentleman's Magazine, Aug. 1792, p. 689. The only persons of the name of Robert Cranmer that I can find since 1630 are

1. Robert Cranmer of Mitcham, 1617-66.
2. Robert Cranmer (son of No. 1), 1652-72.

3. Robert Cranmer (grandson of No. 1), 1693, about 1760.

4. Robert Cranmer of Nursley (son of No. 3), 1739-1809.

There is no authority whatever for the statement that Robert Cranmer of Mitcham was greatgrandson of the archbishop; and he was certainly not the son of Thomas Cranmer of Paternoster Row, mercer, for I have lately been fortunate enough to discover his father and mother's marriage in 1616. The descent of the Mitcham Cranmers has still to be ascertained, and baffled the most costly and skilful inquiries, conducted by Sir Isaac Heard and Mr. Beltz in 1805-6, when Mrs. Dixon assumed her father's name of Cranmer, and desired to have the arms allowed to her. The principal evidence relied on by the family was the gold seal ring of Robert Cranmer, bearing the arms without any mark of difference, and inscribed on the rim "baptised 11 May, 1617." The Cranmers of Quendon in Essex and Mitcham, who are reputed to descend from the archbishop, are really derived from the above Robert Cranmer, and can trace no further.

I have as yet been unable to get the perusal of Chancellor Massing berd's paper, but it is beyond dispute that Thomas Cranmer, son of the archbishop, married Catherine Rogers, a cousin to Sir John Harrington's wife; for Sir John mentions her as a widow still living in 1607 in his Life of Archbishop Parker.

PUBLICATION OF REGISTERS (4th S. ii. 78.)The "Dates wanted" by JOHN EDWARD MARTIN revive again the question of publishing the regisSuch a work could scarcely be within the powers of a single individual. Could not a Registration Society be formed to accomplish such a great and so desirable an object-beginning, perhaps, with the collection of the Registrar-general? I would willingly give my aid, and hundreds of

others would come forward to assist. A little publicity given to this suggestion may be the means of having such a Society formed. Will any gentlemen come forward? F. FITZ HENRY.

GIST: TOFT (4th S. i. 579; ii. 42.)-This word gist seems Latinised (although not to be found in the ordinary Latin dictionaries) in a charter which was granted by Malcolm IV. of Scotland in the fifth year of his reign (1158) in favour of the first High Stewart of Scotland, Walter, the son of Alan, described in this charter as Dapifero meo, (the King's dapifer, or meat-bearer.) After referring to, and confirming certain grants of land by his grandfather, David I., to this Stewart, Malcolm himself gave him certain other specified large tracts in various parts of Scotland, and along with these conferred

"In unoquoque burgo meo, et in unaquaque dominica gista men, per totam terram meam, unum plenarium toftum ad hospitia (sic) sibi in eo facienda, et cum unoquoque tofto viginti acras terre." (Reg. de Pasleto, Appendix, p. 1; and Thomson's edition of the Scots Acts, folio, vol. i., App. to Preface.)

The import of the dominica gista mea, from the context of the charter, seems evident. It was a royal residence, dwelling, lodging, or lying place. And not only is the meaning of gista determined by this charter, but that of toftum also, which seems to refer to ground for a house-stead, including possibly as much annexed as would form a garden; while the twenty acres added to each toft would be the croft land-land often called bord lands, cultivated for raising crops to support the hospitium, which it was presumed the king's dapifer would erect in every royal burgh and king's demesne for his own use and occupation when the king resided there, as on him he behooved to be in almost constant attendance during his perambulations from place to place.

MARLBOROUGH'S OFFICERS (3rd S. xi. 85.) – Another worthy can be added to SEBASTIAN's list from an early volume of the Gentleman's Magazine, which records that on November 27, 1733, Capt. John Waters died, aged ninety-four. "He was in all the wars with the Duke of Marlborough, and lost a leg by a cannon-ball." TEWARS.

TO MY NOSE (4th S. ii. 91.)-As in the communication signed BRADFORD the first verse only is given of the song "Jolly Nose," it may be acceptable to your readers to give the remainder. It is as follows:

"For a big-bellied glass is the palette I use,

And the choicest of wine is my colour:

And I find that my nose takes the mellowest hues,
The fuller I fill it, the fuller!

Jolly nose! there are fools who say drink hurts the sight,

Such dullards know nothing about it;
'Tis better with wine to extinguish the light,
Than live always in darkness without it.
Jolly nose!"

F. C. H. QUOTATIONS (4th S. ii. 81.)-The quotation required by MR. BOURCHIER is from The Art of Sinking in Poetry, by Dean Swift.

There is a slight mistake in the quotation, for in the original it is "Lieutenant-colonel," not general. THOMAS L'ESTRANGE.

QUARTERING (4th S. i. 460.)-In the MS. memorandum sent by NEPHRITE

"A man that marrys an heireiss may not quarter her coats, but may impale it or board on escutch" of prtence, but their heir may qr it so,"

there appear to be three errors, either of the transcriber or original writer. For coats read coate," for board read "beare," and the last word is superfluous.

The answer to be given to NEPHRITE's question is, that the statement is "really true," that by the laws of armory the coat of an heiress is properly borne by her husband on an escutcheon of pretence, and " a man cannot give quarterings himself by marriage" only. At the same time

there are continual instances in which a man

assumes, under the royal licence and the authority of the College of Arms, the arms of his wife, either in the first quarter, or as a quartering folJ. G. N. lowing his paternal coat.

DR. GEORGE CROLY (4th S. ii. 79.)-Dr. Croly's lines on "The Valley of Dry Bones" may be seen at p. 69 of his Psalms and Hymns, London, 1854. They end thus:

Art thou coming, King of Kings?"

E. S. D.

This phrase was applied to Lord Derby long be"HOTSPUR (RUPERT) OF DEBATE" (4th S. ii. 80.) fore the New Timon appeared. It may belong to the present Premier in his early days; but I am absolutely certain that I remember its being used nearly, if not quite, five-and-twenty years ago; and that, in reading the New Timon, I asked with Mr. Puff" But haven't we heard that before?"

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

A Glossary of the Cleveland Dialect: Explanatory, Derivative, and Critical. By the Rev. J. C. Atkinson, Incumbent of Danby, in Cleveland. (J. R. Smith.) A very cursory glance at this handsome volume suffices to show that the Editor did not come to the work unfitted for the task which he had undertaken. Unlike many recent Glossarists, Mr. Atkinson is obviously well acquainted with the writings of the great German and Scandinavian philologists; and the necessity and importance of such knowledge in the compiler of a Glossary of Cleveland is clearly shown by the following extract from our author's introduction: - "It is impossible," says Mr. Atkinson, "for any one fairly familiar with the dialect spoken in Cleveland, and only moderately acquainted with the Scandinavian languages and dialects, or even with any one of them, not to be struck with the curious family likeness obtruded on his notice between no scanty portion of the Cleveland words and those in current use among the Danes, Norwegians, and Swedes of our own day. And not only in the case of words;idioms, modes of expression, habitual phrases, proverbs, or proverbial sayings are found to occur, which in many cases are so nearly identical that what is ordinarily called translation is scarcely requisite in order to enable the Clevelander to appreciate the Danish saying, or the Dane the Cleveland formula." The result of Mr. Atkinson's investigations have been to convince him that so great has been the Danish influence in the Cleveland district, that wherever the dialect of that district diverges from the ordinary or standard language, it is indebted to the Scandinavian tongues and dialects for certainly not less than sixty per cent. of such divergencies. The Glossary

before us occupies upwards of six hundred quarto pages. Of course its first interest is for the philologist, but the student of popular antiquities, of our folk-lore, and of manners and customs, will find materials of no less interest scattered through this last and important addition to our now long list of Provincial Glossaries.

Caricature History of the Georges, or Annals of the House of Hanover. Compiled from the Squibs, Broadsides, Window Pictures, Lampoons, and Pictorial Caricatures of the Tine. By Thomas Wright, F.S.A. With nearly Four Hundred Illustrations on Steel and Wood. (Hotten.)

Mr. Wright's amusing volumes, England under the House of Hanover, illustrated from the Curicatures and Satires of the Day, with Mr. Fairholt's spirited reproductions of the most piquant and striking caricatures, has long been out of print. Mr. Hotten has, therefore, done good service in reproducing it, carefully revised by the editor, and with such corrections as seemed to him called for. It is now neatly printed in one volume on a tinted paper, which brings out the four hundred illustrations even more effectively than the original edition, and yet is published at about one fourth of the price Had Mr. Hotten only given it a good Index, it must have supplanted in all libraries the two-volume edition. When our readers consider that we have here a running contemporary comment, illustrated with the caricatures of the time, on the more striking points in the history of this country, from the accession of George I. till the Regency, they will readily understand how much amusement and curious information so skilful a man of letters as Mr. Wright has contrived to introduce into a Caricature History of the Georges.
