Chapter III: Part 3

It is remarkable that in the Catechism we read N. or M., while in the service for Matrimony M. is for the man, N. for the woman.

I have imagined long ago that "N. or M." may mean "_n_omen viri; aut _m_ulieris:" that M. may stand for "maritus" in the other place, and N. for "nupta."

TYRO ETYMOLOGICUS.

N. stands (as it constantly did in MS.) for "nomen" or name; M. for N. N., "nomina" or names. You will observe that in black letter the forms of N and M are so very similar that by an easy contraction double N would pass into M, and thus the contracted form N. N. for "nomina" might have come into M. Corroborating this is the fact that the answer to What is your name? stands thus: Answer N. or M., and not M. or N.

J. F. T.

P.S. Throughout the Matrimonial Service I observe M. attached to the man's name, but N. to the woman's.

_Dancing Trenchmore_ (Vol. iii., p. 89.).--Your correspondent S. G. asks the meaning of this phrase? _Trenchmore_ was a very popular dance in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The earliest mention I find of it occurs in 1564, and the latest in 1728. The figure and the musical notes may be seen in the fifth and later editions of _The Dancing Master_. See also Chappell's _National English Airs_, vol. ii. p. 181., where some amusing quotations concerning its popularity are given. _Trenchmore_ (the meaning of which we have to seek) was, however, more particularly the name of the _dance_ than the tune. The _dance_, in fact, was performed to _various_ tunes. In proof of this I give the following quotation from Taylor the water-poet's _Navy of Land Ships_, 1627:

"Nimble-heel'd mariners (like so many dancers) capring in the pompes
and vanities of this sinful world, sometimes a Morisco, or
_Trenchmore_ of forty miles long, to the tune of _Dusty my deare_,
_Dirty come thou to me_, _Dun out of the mire_, or _I waile in woe and
plunge in paine_: all these dances have no other musicke."

_Demosthenes and New Testament_ (Vol. iii., p. 350.).--If your correspondent C. H. P. had referred to the _Critici Sacri_, he would have found his questions answered. With regard to the quotation from Acts xvii. 21., I beg to inform him that Drusius makes the same reference, but generally only, as Pricæus; while Grotius gives the passages with particular references, in the same manner as Lagnerius. As to the passage from St. Matthew xiii. 14., he would have found, had he consulted the _Critici Sacri_, that Grotius quotes the same passage from Demosthenes as Pricæus; but, as far as I can see, they are the only commentators in that work who observed the parallel passages. However, the fact of its being "employed as an established proverb by Demosthenes having been generally overlooked," as C. H. P. supposes, is not quite correct, as it is mentioned in the brief notes in Dr. Burton's _Greek Testament_, Oxon., 1831.

_English French_ (Vol. iii., p. 346.).--I take the liberty to inform C. W. B., for the justification of my countrymen, as well as of his own, that the _Guide to Amsterdam_ was probably written by a British subject born between the tropics, and will point out, not by way of reprisals, but as a curiosity of the same sort, an example of French-English to be found in a book just published by Whittaker and Co., entitled _What's What in 1851_? Let any one who understands French try to read the article, p. 69., headed "Qu'êst que, qu'êst que la veritable luxure en se promenant," and if he can guess at the meaning of the writer, no foreign-English I ever met with will ever give him trouble.

_Deans, when styled Very Reverend_ (Vol. iii., p. 352.).--I cannot answer this question, but I can supply a trace, if not a clue. I find in a long series of old almanacks that the list of deans is invariably given as _the Reverend_ the dean down to 1803 inclusive. I unluckily have not those for the three next years, but in that for 1807 I find "_the very Reverend_ the dean."

_Duchess of Buckingham_ (Vol. iii., p. 281.).--There is one circumstance omitted by P. C. S. S., in his remarks upon the Duchess of Buckingham, which explains why _a Phipps_, on being called to the peerage, chose the titles of Mulgrave and Normanby.

By her second husband--the Duke of Buckingham and Normanby--she had one son, who succeeded to the title and estates; but, dying unmarried during his mother's lifetime, _bequeathed to her all the Mulgrave and Normanby property_. Her daughter (by her first marriage with James Annesley, third Earl of Anglesey) was then the wife of Mr. W. Phipps, son of Sir Constantine Phipps, Lord Chancellor of Ireland: to their issue, Constantine Phipps, first Lord Mulgrave, the Duchess _left by will these estates_; thus founding her grandson's fortune, although she did not live to see him created the first Baron Mulgrave.

The Sheffield Buckingham family, although extinct in the male line, is represented in the female branch by the Sheffield Dicksons; Mrs. Dickson, the widow of Major Dickson, of the Life-Guards, being in direct descent from the Lady Catherine Darnley's husband, by another wife.

_Howe Family_ (Vol. iii., p. 353.).--Your correspondent who asks what was the connexion of the Howes with the royal family, will find in Walpole's _Reminiscences_ (ch. ii.) that Charlotte Viscountess Howe, the mother of Captain Howe, afterwards the celebrated admiral, and of General Sir William Howe, was the daughter of George I. by Madame Kelmansegge, Countess of Platen, created in England Countess of Darlington.

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.

Dr. Gregory, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh, and the translator of Reichenbach's _Researches on Magnetism_, has just published a volume destined, we believe, to excite considerable attention, both from the nature of its subject and the position of the writer. It is entitled _Letters to a Candid Inquirer on Animal Magnetism_, and in the first Part, after describing the phenomena, and their application to medical purposes, and to the explanation of much that is obscure in what is called Magic or Witchcraft, "a great part of which appears to have rested on a knowledge of these phenomena possessed by a few in an ignorant age," Dr Gregory suggests, not as a fully developed theory, but simply as a conceivable idea, an explanation of the _modus operandi_ in magnetic phenomena, especially in clairvoyance. The basis of this explanation is the existence of that universally diffused power or influence, the existence of which, in Dr. Gregory's opinion, Reichenbach has demonstrated. The second Part consists of a large and startling collection of mostly unpublished cases; and Dr. Gregory expresses his conviction that if the evidence is fairly studied, it will be impossible to believe that the alleged facts are the result of imposture or of delusion; or to resist the conviction, which investigation will confirm, that the essential facts, however apparently marvellous, are yet true, and have been faithfully reported. These cases are indeed most extraordinary, and would, at first sight, seem more fitted to fill our Folk Lore columns than to become the subject of scientific enquiry; and most readers, we believe, will rise from their perusal with an inclination to admit that there are more things true than are dreamt of in their philosophy--some with an anxious doubt whether these "arts" are not as "forbidden" as they are "curious."

The Society of Arts have opened a reading-room for the gratuitous use of foreign visitors to London during the Great Exhibition. Our readers will be doing a kindness to their friends from the Continent by making them acquainted with this act of liberality and good feeling on the part of the Society of Arts.

Messrs. Puttick and Simpson (191. Piccadilly) will sell on Wednesday and Thursday next a curious and valuable Library, rich more especially in the department of voyages and travels, and including a collection of very rare works relating to America.

=ILLUSTRATIONS AND ENQUIRIES RELATING TO MESMERISM.= Part I. By the
REV. S. R. MAITLAND, DD. 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 a 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._

poetry and honour Chaucer may be kind enough to remit to them.

Antiq., the Lords Braybrooke and Londesborough, and many other
noblemen and gentlemen.
