Notes and Queries, Number 239, May 27, 1854

Chapter C: De D

Text size

"Augustus Caesar on a time, as he was passing through Rome, and saw
certain strange women lulling apes and whelps in their arms: 'What!'
said he; 'have the women of these countries none other children?' So
may I say unto you [Dr. Cole], that make so much of Gerson, Driedo,
Royard, and Tapper: Have the learned men of your side none other
doctors? For, alas! these that ye allege are scarcely worthy to be
allowed amongst the _black guard_."--Bp. Jewel's _Works_ (P. S. ed.),
vol. i. p. 72.

This is, I think, an earlier example than any that has yet been given in "N. & Q."

W. P. STORER.

Olney, Bucks.

"_Atonement_" (Vol. ix., p. 271.).--The word [Greek: katallage], used by Aeschylus and Demosthenes, occurs 2 Cor. v. 19., Rom. xi. 15. v. 11. The word _atonement_ bears two senses: the first, _reconciliation_, as used by Sir Thomas More, Shakspeare, Beaumont and Fletcher, and Bishops Hall and Taylor; the second, _expiation_, as employed by Milton, Swift, and Cowper. In the latter meaning, we find it in Numbers, and other books of the Old Testament, as the translation of [Greek: hilasma].

Waterland speaks of "the doctrine of expiation, atonement, or satisfaction, made by Christ in His blood" (_Disc. of Fundamentals_, vol. v. p. 82.). Barrow, Secker, and Beveridge use the word _atone_ or _atonement_ in this combined sense of the term. R. Gloucester, Chaucer, and Dryden expressly speak "at one," in a similar way; and, {504} not to multiply passages, we may merely cite Tyndal:

"There is but one mediator, Christ, as saith St. Paul, 1 Tim. ii., and
by that word understand an _atone-maker_, a peace-maker, and bringer
into grace and favour, having full power so to do."--_Expos. of Tracy's
Testament_, p. 275., Camb. 1850.

MACKENZIE WALCOTT, M.A.

As a contribution towards the solution of J. H. B.'s Query, I send you the following extracts from Richardson's _Dictionary_:

"And like as he made the Jewes and the Gentiles _at one_ between
themselves, even so he made them both _at one_ with God, that there
should be nothing to break the _atonement_; but that the thynges in
heaven and the thynges in earth shoulde be ioyned together as it were
into _one_ body."--_Udal_, _Ephesians_, c. ii.

"Paul sayth, 1 Tim. ij., 'One God, one Mediatour (that is to say,
aduocate, intercessor, or an _atonemaker_) betwene God and man: the man
Christ Jesus, which gaue himself a raunsom for all men."--Tyndal,
_Workes_, p. 158.

I am unacquainted with the work referred to in the first extract. The second is from _The Whole Works of W. Tindal, John Frith, and Dr. Barnes_ [edited by Foxe], Lond. 1573. The title of the work which contains the passage is, _The Obedience of a Christian Man, set forth by William Tindal_, 1528, Oct. 2.

[Greek: Halieus].

Dublin.

_Bible of 1527_ (Vol. ix., p. 352.).--In reference to the monogram inquired after in this Query, I think I have seen it, or one very similar, among the "mason marks" on Strasburg Tower, which would seem a place of Freemason pilgrimage: for the soft stone is deeply carved in various places within the tower with such marks as this, together with initials and dates of visit. I have also marks very similar from the stones of the tower of the pretty little cathedral of Freiburg, Briesgau. I should incline to think it a Masonic mark, and not that of an engraver on wood, or of a printer.

A. B. R.

Belmont.

_Shrove Tuesday_ (Vol. ix., p. 324.).--The bell described as rung on Shrove Tuesday at Newbury, was no doubt the old summons which used to call our ancestors to the priest to be shrived, or confessed, on that day. It is commonly called the "Pancake Bell," because it was also the signal for the cook to put the pancake on the fire. This savoury couplet occurs in _Poor Robin_ for 1684:

"But hark, I hear the pancake bell,
And fritters make a gallant smell."

The custom of ringing this bell has been retained in many parishes. It is orthodoxly rung at Ecclesfield from eleven to twelve a.m. Plenty of information on this subject may be found in Brand's _Popular Antiquities_.

ALFRED GATTY.

_Milton's Correspondence_ (Vol. viii., p. 640.).--A translation of Milton's Latin familiar correspondence, made by John Hall, Esq., of the Philadelphia bar, now a Presbyterian clergyman at Trenton, N.J., was published about eighteen or twenty years ago in this city.

UNEDA.

Philadelphia

"_Verbatim et literatim_" (Vol. ix., p. 348.).--Your correspondent L. H. J. TONNA, in proposing for the latter part of the above phrase the form _ad literam_, might as well have extended his amendment, and suggested _ad verbum et literam_; for I should imagine there is quite as little authority for the word _verbatim_ being used in the Latin language, as for that of _literatim_. Vossius is an authority for the latter; but can any of your correspondents oblige me by citing one for the former, notwithstanding its frequent adoption in English conversation and writings? Neither _verbatim_ nor _literatim_ will be found in Riddle.

N. L. J.

_Epigrams_ (Vol. vii., p. 175.).--The epigram, "How D.D. swaggers, M.D. rolls," &c., was written by Horace Smith, and may be found in the _New Monthly Magazine_ for 1823, in the article called "Grimm's Ghost. Letter XII."

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

In days like these, when so many of our new books are but old ones newly dressed up, a work of original research, and for which the materials have been accumulated by the writer with great labour and diligence, deserves especial commendation. Of such a character is the _Catholic History of England; its Rulers, Clergy, and Poor, before the Reformation, as described by the Monkish Historians_, by Bernard William MacCabe, of which the third volume, extending from the reign of Edward Martyr to the Norman Conquest, has just been published. The volumes bear evidence in every page that they are, as the author describes them, "the results of the writing and research of many hours--the only hours for many years that I had to spare from other and harder toils." Himself a zealous and sincere follower of the "ancient faith," Mr. MacCabe's views of the characters and events of which he is treating, naturally assume the colouring of his own mind: many, therefore, will dissent from them. None of his readers will, however, dissent from bestowing upon his work the praise of being carefully compiled and most originally written. None will deny the charm with which Mr. MacCabe has invested his History, by his admirable mode of making the old Monkish writers tell their own story. {505}

We some time since called the attention of our readers to a new periodical which had been commenced at Goettingen, under the title of _Zeitschrift fuer Deutsche Mythologie und Sittenkunde_, under the editorship of T. W. Wolf. We have since received the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Parts of it from Messrs. Williams and Norgate, and hope shortly to transfer from its pages to our columns a few of the many curious illustrations of our own Folk Lore, with which it abounds.

BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Works of John Locke_, vol. i., _Philosophical Works, with a preliminary Essay and Notes_, by J. A. St. John, is the first volume of a collected edition of the writings of this distinguished English philosopher, intended to form a portion of Bohn's _Standard Library_.--_The Diary and Letters of Madame D'Arblay_, vol. iv., 1788-89. Worth more than its cost for its pictures of Fox, Burke, Wyndham, &c., and Hastings' Impeachment.--_A Poet's Children_, by Patrick Scott. A shilling's worth of miscellaneous poems from the pen of this imaginative but somewhat eccentric bard.--_Points of War, I. II. III. IV._, by Franklin Lushington. Mr. Lushington is clearly an admirer of Tennyson, and has caught not a little of the mannerism and not a few of the graces of his great model.

SIGMA. _How can we forward a letter to this Correspondent?_

ENQUIRER. _Our Correspondent's Query is not apparent. The Rolls House and Chapel, in Chancery Lane, never "reverted to their original use," that is, as a House of Maintenance for Converted Jews._

J. G. T. _For the origin of Bands worn by clergymen, lawyers, and others, see our Second Volume_, pp. 23. 76. 126.

"VITA CRUCEM," &c. _We have to apologise for having mislaid the copy of the following distich, requesting a translation as well as the authorship of it:_

"Vita crucem, et vivas, hominem si noscere velles,
Quis, quid, cur, cujus passus amore fuit."

_Which may be literally translated, _"Shun the Cross, that you may live, if you would know Him aright, Who and what He was, why and for love of whom He suffered."_ These lines seem to be a caveat against the adoration of the material Cross, and were probably composed during the domination of the fanatics in Cromwell's time, when that redoubtable Goth, Master William Dowsing, demolished whatever was inscribed with the Cross, whether of brass, marble, or other material.--Our Correspondent will find the line, _"A falcon towering in his pride of place,"_ in _Macbeth_, Act II. Sc. 4._

OUR EIGHTH VOLUME _is now bound and ready for delivery, price 10s. 6d., cloth, boards. A few sets of the whole Eight Volumes are being made up, price 4l. 4s.--For these early application is desirable._

DR. DE JONGH'S LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL. Prepared for medicinal use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway, and put to the test of chemical analysis. The most effectual remedy for Consumption, Asthma, Gout, Chronic Rheumatism, and all Scrofulous Diseases.

Approved of and recommended by BERZELIUS, LIEBIG, WOEHLER, JONATHAN PEREIRA, FOUQUIER, and numerous other eminent medical men and scientific chemists in Europe. Specially rewarded with medals by the Governments of Belgium and the Netherlands. Has almost entirely superseded all other kinds on the Continent, in consequence of its proved superior power and efficacy--effecting a cure much more rapidly. Contains iodine, phosphate of chalk, volatile acid, and the elements of the bile--in short, all its most active and essential principles--in larger quantities than the pale oils made in England and Newfoundland, deprived mainly of these by their mode of preparation. A pamphlet by Dr. de Jongh, with detailed remarks upon its superiority, directions for use, cases in which it has been prescribed with the greatest success, and testimonials, forwarded gratis on application.

The subjoined testimonial of BARON LIEBIG, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Giessen, is selected from innumerable others from medical and scientific men of the highest distinction:

"SIR,--I have the honour of addressing you my warmest thanks for your
attention in forwarding me your work on the chemical composition and
properties, as well as on the medicinal effects, of various kinds of
Cod Liver Oil.

"You have rendered an essential service to science by your researches,
and your efforts to provide sufferers with this Medicine in its purest
and most genuine state, must ensure you the gratitude of every one who
stands in need of its use.

"I have the honor of remaining, with expressions of the highest regard
and esteem,

"Yours sincerely,
"DR. JUSTUS LIEBIG."

Important Sale by Auction of the whole of the remaining Copies of that
splendid National Work, known as "FINDEN'S ROYAL GALLERY OF BRITISH
ART," the engraved Plates of which will be destroyed during the
Progress of the Sale, and in the presence of the Purchasers.

SOUTHGATE & BARRETT have received instructions from MR. HOGARTH, of the Haymarket, to Sell by Public Auction at their Fine Art and Book Auction Rooms, 22. Fleet Street, London, on Wednesday Evening, June 7th, and following Evenings,

THE WHOLE OF THE REMAINING COPIES

Of the very Celebrated Work, known as

FINDEN'S ROYAL GALLERY OF BRITISH ART,

Consisting of a limited number of Artists' and other choice proofs, and the print impressions, which are all in an exceedingly fine state. The work consists of 48 plates, the whole of which are engraved in line by the most eminent men in that branch of art, and the pictures selected will at once show that the great artists--Turner, Eastlake, Landseer, Stanfield, Webster, Roberts, Wilkie, Maclise, Mulready, and more than thirty other British Masters, are represented by the works which established and upheld them in public favour, and by themes which appeal to universal sympathy and happiest affections, or which delineate the peculiar glories of our country, and commemorate its worthiest and most honourable achievements.

The attention of the public is also particularly directed to the fact that ALL THE ENGRAVED PLATES from which the impressions now offered have been taken, WILL BE DESTROYED IN THE PRESENCE OF THE PURCHASERS, at the time of Sale. By thus securing the market from being supplied with inferior impressions at a future time, and at a cheaper rate, the value of the existing stock will be increased, and it will become the interest of all who wish to possess copies of these eminent works of art, at a reduced price, to purchase them at this Sale, which will be THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY of obtaining them.

Under these circumstances, therefore, SOUTHGATE & BARRETT presume to demand for this Sale the attention of all lovers of art--the amateur, the artist, and the public:--believing that no opportunity has ever offered so happily calculated to promote taste and to extend knowledge, while ministering to the purest and best enjoyments which the artist conveys to the hearts and homes of all who covet intellectual pleasures.

Framed Copies of the work can be seen at MR. HOGARTH'S, 5. Haymarket; MESSRS. LLOYD, BROTHERS, & CO., 22. Ludgate Hill; and at the AUCTIONEERS, 22. Fleet Street, by whom all Communications and Commissions will be promptly and faithfully attended to.

*** Catalogues of the entire Sale will be forwarded on Receipt of 12 Postage Stamps.
