Chapter C: W. Bingham

[LORD BRAYBROOKE was certainly not aware that Crowe's monody had been
published with his Poems. LORD BRAYBROOKE'S version was copied, about
thirty years ago, _verbatim et literatim_, from a manuscript in the
handwriting of the late Lord Glastonbury, who died in 1825.]

_Daubuz_ (Vol. vi., p. 527.).--An interesting notice of the Rev. Charles Daubuz occurs in Hunter's _Hallamshire_, p. 175. It is unnecessary to quote the whole, and I shall content myself with merely observing that if the dates in the {145} _Hallamshire_ are 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.

W. S. (Sheffield.)

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.

J. B.

_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."

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's _Ath. Oxon._ by Bliss, vol. ii. col. 638.)

JOHN. I. DREDGE.

_Louis Napoleon, President of France_ (Vol. vi., p. 435.).--Modern history furnishes more than one instance of the anomaly adverted to by MR. 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 case _might_ have 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 word _plaster_, on which your correspondent has offered so elaborate a commentary, I would beg to refer him to White's _Selborne_ (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 called _The 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.

"This _Pleystow_ (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 Plaster_ is, 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 word _Hanger_:

"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, and _a long hanging wood_, called _The Hanger_."--Vol. i. p. 1.

W. L. NICHOLS.

Lansdown Place, Bath.

_Passage in Thomson_ (Vol. vii., p. 67.).--_Steaming_ is clearly the true reading, and means that the exhalations which _steam_ from 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 rise
From hill or _steaming_ lake, dusky or grey," &c.

C.

{146}

_Passage in Locksley Hall_ (Vol. vii., p. 25.).--If Tennyson really meant his readers to gather from the lines in question, that the curlew's _call gleams_ about the moorland, he used a very bold figure of speech, yet one not uncommon in the vivid language of Greece. For example:

"[Greek: Paian de lampei stonoessa te nêrus homaulos.]"

And again,

"[Greek: Elampse ... artiôs phaneisa phama.]" (Sophocles.)

So also,

"[Greek: Boa prepei.]" (Pindar and Æschylus.)

May it not, however, be just possible that Tennyson did not mean _anything_?

NOTES ON BOOKS, &C. _In consequence of the number of_ REPLIES _waiting for insertion, we have thought it right this week to omit our usual_ NOTES ON BOOKS, _&c._

J. L. (Islington). _The ordinary Spirits of Wine, sixty over proof, is that referred to. The Ether is to be common rectified Ether, and_ not _the washed Ether_.

A CONSTANT READER _is informed that Stereoscopic views may be taken in any Camera. We must refer him for answers to his other Queries to any of the numerous dealers in such objects_.

INQUIRER (Edinburgh)_'s Photographic difficulty shall be solved next week_.

H. H. H. (Ashburton). _It is only some specimens of Gutta Percha that can be acted upon by Collodion, which then takes up a very minute portion of a waxy substance which occurs in some Gutta Percha, and some other eastern products. The advantages derived from its use are very questionable._

T. N. B._'s offer is accepted with thanks_.

T. K. G. _The enigma_

"'Twas whisper'd in heaven"

_was certainly written by Miss Catherine Fanshawe. Another enigma from her pen, "On the Letter_ I," _will be found in our_ 5th Vol., p. 427.

W. H. L. _The line_

"To err is human, to forgive divine,"

_is the 525th of Pope's_ Essay on Criticism.

H. G. D. _We should be glad to see the Notes referred to._

VARRO. _We have a letter on the subject of the Reprint of the First Folio Shakspeare for this Correspondent. Shall it be forwarded, or left at our Publisher's?_

SHAKSPEARE. _We have in type, or in the printer's hands, two or three articles on the text of Shakspeare, to which we propose to give immediate insertion. After which we would suggest the propriety of our Correspondents suspending their labour on this subject until the appearance of_ MR. COLLIER_'s promised edition, which is to contain all the MS. emendations in his copy of the Folio of 1632_.

PRESTONIENSIS. _A_ Tandem _was so named from some University wag, because he drove his two horses not abreast, but_ at length.

W. L. C. (Preston). _A common brass medal, of no pecuniary value._

J. G. T. (near Eden Bridge). _The word_ Quarantine _is from the Italian_ Quaranto, _and refers to the forty days, after which it was supposed there was no further danger of infection. The hymn "Rock of Ages" was written by Toplady; and "Lo, he comes, in clouds descending!" by Oliver_.

T. F. (Taunton) _is thanked for his suggestions. The first and second shall have due consideration. As to the third, the taking of it is in no case intended to be compulsory._

"NOTES AND QUERIES" _is published at noon on Friday, so that the Country Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcel, and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday_.

PHOTOGRAPHY.--XYLO-IODIDE OF SILVER, prepared solely by R. W. THOMAS, has now obtained an European fame; it supersedes the use of all other preparations of Collodion. Witness the subjoined Testimonial.

"122. Regent Street

"Dear Sir,--In answer to your inquiry of this morning, I have no
hesitation in saying that your preparation of Collodion is incomparably
better and more sensitive than all the advertised Collodio-Iodides,
which, for my professional purposes, are quite useless when compared to
yours.

"I remain, dear Sir,
"Yours faithfully,
"N. 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.
