Chapter III: Front Matter (3)

Godolphin, in _Rep. Can._, 56., says that by the canon law, he that is archipresbyter is also called _dean_. Query, Would he then be other than "Primus inter pares?"

Prince, in his _Worthies_, calls the Rector of Haccombe "a kind of chorepiscopus;" and in a note refers to Dr. Field _Of the Church_, lib. v. c. 37.

With regard to the Vicar of Bibury (quoted by MR. SANSOM, "N. & Q.," Vol. ix., p. 185.), he founded his exemption from spiritual jurisdiction, I believe, upon his holding a _Peculiar_, and not as an archpriest.

H. T. ELLACOMBE.

Clyst St. George.

_Dogs in Monumental Brasses_ (Vol. ix., p. 126.).--I have always understood (but I cannot say on any authority) that the dogs at the feet of monumental effigies of knights were symbolical of _fidelity_. That signification would certainly be very appropriate in monuments of _crusaders_, where, I believe, they are generally found. And I would suggest to MR. ALFORD, that the idea might not have been confined to fidelity in keeping the vow of the Cross, but might have been extended to other religious vows: in which case the ladies undoubtedly might sometimes claim the canine appendage to their effigies. The lion might perhaps symbolise _courage_, in which ladies are not commonly supposed to excel.

_The Last of the Palæologi_ (Vol. v., pp. 173. 280. 357.).--The following scrap of information may be useful to L. L. L. and others, if too long a time has not gone by since the subject was under discussion. In _The List of the Army raised under the Command of his Excellency Robert Earle of Essex_, &c.: London, printed for John Partridge, 1642, of which I have seen a manuscript copy, the name of Theo. Palioligus occurs as Lieutenant in "The Lord Saint John's Regiment."

EDWARD PEACOCK.

Bottesford Moors, Kirton in Lindsey.

_Long Names_ (Vol. viii., pp. 539. 651.).--Allow me to add the following polysyllabic names to those supplied by your correspondents:--_Llanvairpwllgwyngyll_, a living in the diocese of Bangor, became vacant in March, 1850, by the death of its incumbent, the Rev. Richard Prichard, æt. {313} ninety-three. The labour of writing the name of his benefice does not seem to have shortened his days.

The following are the names of two _employés_ in the finance department at Madrid:--_Don Epifanio Mirurzururdundua y Zengotita_; _Don Juan Nepomuceno de Burionagonatotorecagogeazcoecha_.

There was, until 1851, a major in the British army named _Teyoninhokarawen_ (one single name).

G. L. S.

_Elizabeth Seymour_ (Vol. ix., p. 174.).--According to Collins,--

"Sir E. Seymour, first baronet, married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir
Arthur Champeirion, of Dartington, co. Devon, by whom he had, besides
other issue, a daughter Elizabeth, who married George Cary, of
Cockington, co. Devon. Sir Edward Seymour, third baronet, married Anne,
daughter of Sir William Portman, and left, besides sons, a daughter,
also named Elizabeth, who married Sir Joseph Tredenham, of Tregony in
Cornwall, Knight."

These two ladies, whose similarity of name probably caused the confusion, must have lived at least half a century apart.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

Those who share the well-grounded opinion of Mr. Petit, that we cannot fully enter into the character of English architecture unless we give some attention also to French, German, and Italian, will gladly turn to the very profusely and handsomely-illustrated volume which he has just issued, under the modest title of _Architectural Studies in France_, by the Rev. J. L. Petit, M.A., F.S.A., _with Illustrations from Drawings_ by the Author and P. H. Delamotte. It is of course impossible, within the limits of our brief notice, to enter into any examination of Mr. Petit's views upon the subject of Gothic architecture, the principles of which he believes to have been more completely developed at an early period in England than anywhere else; and we must therefore content ourselves with directing attention to the book itself, which will in no small degree supply to the architectural student desirous of studying French buildings, the opportunity of doing so; and that too under the guidance of one well qualified to direct his steps. Mr. Petit has long been known to the antiquarian world as one of our greatest authorities on the subject of Gothic architecture; and his various papers, illustrated by his own bold yet effective sketches in the _Archæological Journal_, may have prepared some of our readers for a volume of great importance; yet we think even they will be surprised at the interest and beauty of the present book. Mr. Petit, who has had on this occasion the assistance of Mr. Delamotte as a draughtsman, expresses his hope that at some future time he may avail himself of that gentleman's skill as a photographer.

There is, perhaps, no man of letters, no man of science, of whom the world possesses so unsatisfactory an account as Jerome Cardan. The author of _Palissy the Potter_ has therefore done good service, and executed a task worthy of himself, by _The life of Girolamo Cardano, of Milan, Physician_. In two small readable volumes, rich in all the characteristics of his own peculiar mode of treatment, Mr. Morley has given us not only a clear view of the life and character of Cardan, based on a diligent and careful examination of his voluminous writings--for Cardan reckoned that he had published one hundred and thirty-one books, and left in MS. nearly as many--but also a striking picture of the age in which he lived; and the work, which is one of great interest to the general reader, is made still more valuable to the literary antiquary by the accuracy with which Mr. Morley quotes his authorities.

Some interesting manuscripts were sold by Messrs. Puttick and Simpson on Wednesday, the 22nd ultimo, including original letters by Blake, Penn, Monk, Nelson, and other of our most renowned admirals; and of Charles I. and Charles II., Oliver and Richard Cromwell, Desborough; and numerous autographs of Commonwealth celebrities. The chief lot was a letter from Cromwell to Pastor Cotton, in New England, written shortly after the battle of Worcester, in which he alludes to the difficulties he has experienced in treating with some of the Scotch party. Mr. Carlyle had not seen the original, but used the copy among the Arundel MSS. It was knocked down to Mr. Stevens, the American agent, for 36l. A printed broadsheet of the Peace of Breda sold for 3l. 7s. A letter of Richard Cromwell brought 4l. An autograph of Queen Bess brought 2l.; and one of Edward VI. brought 2l. 8s. Autographs of Mary are less common: one in this collection realised 3l. 7s. One of Nelson's letters to Lady Hamilton brought 2l. 2s. Altogether, the prices realised were good.

BOOKS RECEIVED.--_Lives of The Queens of England_, by Agnes Strickland, Vol. III. This new volume of the cheaper edition of Miss Strickland's popular regal biographies comprises the Lives of Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard, Katherine Parr, and Mary.--_The Works of the Rt. Hon. Joseph Addison, with Notes by Bishop Hurd_, Vol. II., is the new volume of Bohn's _British Classics_, and comprises Addison's contributions to the _Tatler_ and _Spectator_.--In the same publisher's _Standard Library_, we have the third volume of his edition of Southey's _Works and Correspondence of Cowper_, which embraces his Letters between the years 1783 and 1788.--_Cyclopædia Bibliographica_, Part XVIII., which extends from _Shepherd (Rev. E. J.)_ to _Surtees (Rev. Scott F.)_.--_Whitaker's Educational Register_, 1854. The work, which has undergone some modifications, is now confined altogether to Educational Statistics, of which it is a most valuable compendium.--_Remains of Pagan Saxondom_, by J. Y. Ackerman, Parts VIII. and IX. The contents of these numbers are:--Fragments from a Tumulus at Caenby, Lincolnshire; Fibula from Ingarsby, Leicestershire; Glass Drinking-vessels from Cemeteries in Kent; Fibulæ from Rugby, Warwickshire. The great peculiarity of this Series is, that the objects are drawn of the size of the originals; thus affording great facilities for comparing them with remains of similar character.
