Chapter III: Part 3

_Burial in unconsecrated Ground_ (Vol. vi., p. 448.; Vol. viii., p. 43.).--The late elegant and accomplished Sir W. Temple, though he laid not his whole body in his garden, deposited the better part of it (his heart) there; "and if my executors will gratify me in what I have desired, I wish my corpse may be interred as I have bespoke them; not at all out of singularity, or for want of a dormitory (of which there is an ample one annexed to the parish church), but for other reasons not necessary here to trouble the reader with, what I have said in general being sufficient. However, let them order as they think fit, so it be not _in the church or chancel_." (Evelyn's _Sylva_, book iv.)

"In the north aisle of the chancel [of Wotton Church] is the
burying-place of the Evelyns (within which is lately made,
under a decent arched chapel, a vault). In the chancel on the
north side is a tomb, about three feet high, of freestone,
shaped like a coffin; on the top, on white marble, is this
inscription:

'Here lies the Body
of JOHN EVELYN, Esq.'"[8]

This inscription commemorates the author of _Sylva_, and evinces how unobsequiously obsequies are sometimes solemnised.

Evelyn mentions Sumner _On Garden Burial_, probably "not circulated."

_Table-turning_ (Vol. viii., p. 57.).--Without going the length of asserting, with La Bruyère, that "tout est dit," or believing, with Dutens, that there is no modern discovery that was not known, in some shape or other, to the ancients, it seems {330} not unreasonable to suppose that table-turning, the principle of which lies so near the surface of social life, was practised in former ages.

This reminds one of the expression, so familiar among controversialists, of "turning the tables" upon an adversary. What is the origin of the latter phrase? It is time some explanation of it were offered, if only to caution the etymologists of a future age against confounding it with our "table-turning."

_"Well's a fret"_ (Vol. viii., p. 197.).--I beg leave to suggest to DEVONIENSIS the following as a probable explanation of the use of this phrase; the rhyme that follows being superadded, for the sake of the jingle and the truism, in the best style of rustic humour.

Well! is often used in conversation as an expletive, even by educated people, a slight pause ensuing after the ejaculation, as if to collect the thoughts before the reply is given. Is it not therefore called a _fret_, or stop, in the Devon vernacular, figuratively, like the fret or stop in a musical instrument, the cross bars or protuberance in a stringed, and a peg in a wind instrument?

Hamlet says, in taunting Rosencrantz for his treasonable attempts to worm himself into his confidence,--

"Call me what instrument you will; though you can _fret_ me,
you cannot play upon me."

Taken in this other sense in which we use the word _fret_, is it not probable that it has passed into a proverb; and that the lines, as given by DEVONIENSIS, are a corruption of

"Well! don't fret;
He who dies for love will never be hang'd for debt."

--the invention of some Damon to comfort Strephon in his loneliness.

M. (2)

_Tenet for Tenent_ (Vol. viii., p. 258.).--The note of your correspondent BALLIOLENSIS does not address itself to the Query put by Y. B. N. J. in Vol. vii., p. 205., When did the use of _tenent_ give way to _tenet_?

You will find that Burton, in the _Anatomy of Melancholy_, which was published in 1621, uses uniformly _tenent_ (vide vol. i. pp. 1. 317. 408. 430. 446. &c.)

But Sir Thomas Browne in 1646, twenty-four years later, printed the first edition of his _Vulgar Errors_ under the title of _Pseudodoxia epidemica, or Enquiries into very many received Tenets and commonly presumed Truths_.

I cannot find that Burton in any passage respects the grammatical distinction suggested by both your correspondents, that _tenet_ should denote the opinion of an individual, and _tenent_ those of a sect. He applies the latter indifferently, both as regards the plural and singular. Thus, "Aponensis thinks it proceeds," but "Laurentius condemns _his tenent_" (part i. sect. iii. mem. 3.). And again, "they are furious, impatient in discourse, stiff and irrefragable in _their tenents_" (ib. p. i. s. iv. mem. 1. sub. 3.).

Notices to Correspondents.

OUR SHAKSPEARE CORRESPONDENCE.--_We have been assured that our observations under this head have been understood by some readers as being directed especially against the gentleman whose contribution called forth the letter from_ ICON, _on which we were commenting. Although we are satisfied that there is nothing in them to warrant such a supposition, we can have no objection to assure_ A. E. B., _and his friends, that they were intended to be of general, and not of individual, application. We may add, to prevent any misconception on this point, that that gentleman was not the writer of the unfounded argument against the genuineness of the_ Notes and Emendations _referred to in the same remarks._

_The communications sent to us for_ H. C. K. _and the_ REV. W. SISSON _have been forwarded; as have also the_ Letters from The Times _to_ ARAN _from two Correspondents._

S. C. P. _will find Landsborough's_ Popular History of British Seaweeds, _published by Reeve and Co., price 10s. 6d., a small but comprehensive work._

J. S. (Islington). _Any letter sent to us shall be forwarded to_ CUTHBERT BEDE.

INDIGESTION, CONSTIPATION, NERVOUSNESS, &c.--BARRY, DU BARRY & CO.'S HEALTH-RESTORING FOOD for INVALIDS and INFANTS.

THE REVALENTA ARABICA FOOD,

the only natural, pleasant, and effectual remedy (without medicine, purging, inconvenience, or expense, as it saves fifty times its cost in other remedies) for nervous, stomachic, intestinal, liver and bilious complaints, however deeply rooted, dyspepsia (indigestion), habitual constipation, diarrhœa, acidity, heartburn, flatulency, oppression, distension, palpitation, eruption of the skin, rheumatism, gout, dropsy, sickness at the stomach during pregnancy, at sea, and under all other circumstances, debility in the aged as well as infants, fits, spasms, cramps, paralysis, &c.

_A few out of 50,000 Cures_:--

Cure, No. 71, of dyspepsia; from the Right Hon. the Lord Stuart de Decies:--"I have derived considerable benefits from your Revalenta Arabica Food, and consider it due to yourselves and the public to authorise the publication of these lines.--STUART DE DECIES."

Cure, No. 49,832:--"Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness at the stomach and vomitings have been removed by Du Barry's excellent food.--MARIA JOLLY, Wortham Ling, near Diss, Norfolk."

Cure, No. 180:--"Twenty-five years' nervousness, constipation, indigestion, and debility, from which I had suffered great misery and which no medicine could remove or relieve, have been effectually cured by Du Barry's food in a very short time.--W. R. REEVES, Pool Anthony, Tiverton."

Cure, No. 4,208:--"Eight years' dyspepsia, nervousness, debility, with cramps, spasms, and nausea, for which my servant had consulted the advice of many, have been effectually removed by Du Barry's delicious food in a very short time. I shall be happy to answer any inquiries.--REV. JOHN W. FLAVELL, Ridlington Rectory, Norfolk."

_Dr. Wurzer's Testimonial._

"Bonn, July 19, 1852.

"This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent,
nourishing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many
cases, all kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful in
confined habit of body, as also diarrhœa, bowel complaints,
affections of the kidneys and bladder, such as stone or gravel;
inflammatory irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of
the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and hemorrhoids. This
really invaluable remedy is employed with the most satisfactory
result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary complaints, where
irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pulmonary
and bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually
the troublesome cough; and I am enabled with perfect truth
to express the conviction that Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica
is adapted to the cure of incipient hectic complaints and
consumption.

ILLUSTRATIONS AND ENQUIRIES RELATING TO MESMERISM. Part I. By the Rev. S. R. MAITLAND, D.D. F.R.S. F.S.A. Sometime Librarian to the late Archbishop of Canterbury, and Keeper of the MSS. at Lambeth.

"One of the most valuable and interesting pamphlets we ever read."--_Morning Herald._

"This publication, which promises to be the commencement of a larger work, will well repay serious perusal."--_Ir. Eccl. Journ._

"A small pamphlet in which he throws startling light on the practices of modern Mesmerism."--_Nottingham Journal._

"Dr. Maitland, we consider, has here brought Mesmerism to the 'touchstone of truth,' to the test of the standard of right or wrong. We thank him for this first instalment of his inquiry, and hope that he will not long delay the remaining portions."--_London Medical Gazette._

"The Enquiries are extremely curious, we should indeed say important. That relating to the Witch of Endor is one of the most successful we ever read. We cannot enter into particulars in this brief notice, but we would strongly recommend the pamphlet even to those who care nothing about Mesmerism, or _angry_ (for it has come to this at last) with the subject."--_Dublin Evening Post._

"We recommend its general perusal as being really an endeavour, by one whose position gives him the best facilities, to ascertain the genuine character of Mesmerism, which is so much disputed."--_Woolmer's Exeter Gazette._

"Dr. Maitland has bestowed a vast deal of attention on the subject for many years past, and the present pamphlet is in part the result of his thoughts and inquiries. There is a good deal in it which we should have been glad to quote ... but we content ourselves with referring our readers to the pamphlet itself."--_Brit. Mag._
