Chapter II: Part 2

"Here it will perhaps be objected, that the power of ordination
itself was not everywhere peculiar and proper unto bishops, as may
be seen by a council of Carthage, which showeth their church's
order to have been, that presbyters should, together with the
bishop, lay hands upon the ordained. But doth it therefore follow
that the power of ordination was not principally and originally in
the bishop?... With us, even at this day, presbyters are licensed
to do as much as that council speaketh of, _if any be
present_."--_Eccl. Pol._ b. vii, c. vi. 5. vol. iii. pp. 207-8.

_Weever's Funeral Monument_ (Vol. iv., p. 474.).--Weever was buried in the old church of St. James, Clerkenwell, which was formerly part of the Priory called _Ecclesia Beatae Mariae de Fonte Clericorum_, for nuns of the order of St. Benedict. The inscription, on a plate shaped to a pillar near the chancel, has been preserved by Stow, in his _Survey of London_, p. 900., 1633; and by Strype, in his edition of the _Survey of London_, book iv. p. 65. Fuller, in his _Church History_, vol. ii p. 208., edit. 1840, informs us that--

"Weever died in London in the fifty-sixth year of his age, and was
buried in St. James, Clerkenwell, where he appointed this epitaph
for himself:

"'Lancashire gave me breath
And Cambridge education,
Middlesex gave me death
And this church my humation.
And Christ to me hath given
A place with him in heaven.'

"The certain date of his death I cannot attain; but, by proportion,
I collect it to be about the year of our Lord 1634."

The date supplied by Storer, in his _History of Clerkenwell_, p. 186., is "Anno Domini 1632." The epitaph given by Fuller, Strype has appended to the original inscription. Mr. Storer adds:

"When the church was taken down, the Society of Antiquaries gave
orders for a diligent search to be made after this tablet, but
without success; which is accounted for by a correspondent in the
_Gentleman's Magazine_ [see vol. lviii. part 2. p. 600.], that it
had been stolen a few years previously, but was perfectly
remembered by an inhabitant to have occupied the situation which
has been described."

_Dial Motto at Karlsbad_ (Vol. iv., p. 471.).--I doubt not the accuracy of Sir Nicholas Tindal's copy of the inscription, but I suspect that the painter of the red capitals made a mistake, and that the _d_ in the word _cedit_ should have been the red letter instead of the _e_; if so, the chronogram would be as follows M.DCCVVVVIIIIIIIII, _i.e._ 1729.

H. F.

The red letters undoubtedly compose a chronogram; E in such compositions represents 250. The date is therefore A.D. 1480.

_Cabal_ (Vol. iv., p. 443.).--The word "cabal" occurs in two different senses in _Hudibras_; but I have only before me the Edinburgh edition of 1779, and so cannot tell whether Butler used it at a date previous to that assigned to its coinage by Burnet. _Hudibras_ was written before the Restoration, at all events; but I have no opportunity of consulting the first edition, which was well known for ten years before the _Cabal_ of 1672.

"For mystic learning, wondrous able,
In magic talisman and _cabal_."

_Hudibras_, Part I. Canto I. 529.

Upon which I find this learned note:--

"Raymund Lully interprets _cabal_ out of the Arabic, to signify
Scientia superabundans, which his commentator, Cornelius Agrippa,
by over-magnifying, has rendered 'a very superfluous foppery.'
Vid. J. Pici, _Mirandulae de Magia et Cabala_, Apol. tome i. pp.
110. 111.; Sir Walter Raleigh's _History of the World_, part i,
book i. p. 67., edit. 1614; Purchas' _Pilgrims_, part ii. lib.
vi. pp. 796, 797, 798.; Scot's _Discovery of Witchcraft_, cap.
xi.; Dee's _Book of Spirits, with Dr. Meric Casaubon's Preface_;
Churchill's _Voyages, &c._, vol. ii. p. 528., second edition;
Bailey's _Dictionary_, folio edition, under the word 'cabala;'
Jacob's _Law Dictionary_, under the word 'cabal;' and _British
Librarian_, No. 6. for June, 1737, p. 340."

The other instance I am adducing gives us "cabal" in its common acceptation:--

"Set up committees of _cabals_
To pack designs without the walls."

Part III. Canto II. 945.

I again copy a note from Dr. Grey:--

"A sneer probably upon Clifford, Ashley, Burlington, Arlington,
Lauderdale, who were called the CABAL in King Charles II.'s time,
from the initial letters of their names.--See _Echard_, vol. iii.
p. 251."

Your correspondent E. H. D. D. may be glad of these two quotations, and I quite agree with him in ascribing an earlier date than that mentioned by Burnet to the word "cabal" in the sense of "a secret council." The transition from its original sense was easy and natural, and the application to King Charles's confidential advisers ingenious.

_Rectitudines Singularum Personarum_ (Vol. iv., p. 442.).--In reply to the inquiries of H. C. C., let me refer him to pp. xi. and xxv. of the preface and list of MSS. in vol. i. of the _Ancient Laws, &c. of England_, edited by Mr. Thorpe, under the direction of the late Record Commission. He will there find that the real MS. site of that document is stated to be in the library of Corpus Christi, Cambridge, and to be of the date of the tenth century. It is not stated upon what ground so early a date is assigned to it; but as so competent a judge as the editor seems to give that date without any expression of doubt, we may presume that there is satisfactory proof of the fact. I do not observe the document mentioned in Wanley's catalogue, and Nasmith's more recent one is not at hand to refer to. The matter contained in it does not (at least in my judgment) _necessarily_ indicate so early a date, inasmuch as parallel, and even identical, rights and customs, connected with the _status_ of persons and tenure of land, were in active existence at a much later period of our history. It would certainly be more satisfactory to know the precise grounds, whether extrinsic or intrinsic, on which the date has been fixed.

With regard to the old Latin version, I will not undertake to vindicate it except against _one_ of the criticisms of H. C. C. He objects that _laeden_ is translated _minare_. The word "minare" is used in the translation twice, once for _driving_, and once for _leading_; and I question whether the translator could have found a more appropriate word to serve this double purpose than the authentic verb _menare_ or _minare_, from which the French _mener_ has been derived.

I cannot so easily justify him for translating "boc-riht" by "rectitudo testamenti;" yet as the power of testamentary disposition was one of the most signal attributes of boc-riht, I cannot say that he has much misrepresented the import of the original word.

The document, which is evidently a private compilation, seems to be a custumal, or coustumier, of a district, or some considerable portion of the country. The German lawyers would call the collection a landrecht in one sense of that term, or, as the translator has called it, a "landirectum." The heading is by no means an appropriate one. Whether the writer intended to compile a code of the customs and obligations of land tenure, free and unfree, coextensive with the Saxon name, or merely to represent those of a certain district with which he happened to be acquainted, is a matter open to question.

H. C. C. is perhaps not aware that the document has been examined, corrected, translated into German, and made the subject of a very masterly dissertation, by Dr. Heinrich Leo, of Halle. It is frequently referred to by Lappenberg in his _Anglo-Saxon History_, and became known (at least in the translation) to Sir H. Ellis in time to make copious extracts from it in the second volume of his _Introduction to Domesday_.

_Stanzas in Childe Harold_ (Vol. iv, pp. 223. 285. 323.).--In reply to T. W. I will merely refer him and your other correspondents upon this subject to page 391. of Moore's _Life of Byron_, 1 vol. edition, 1844, where will be found this passage, in Letter 323, addressed to Mr. Murray:--

"What does 'thy waters _wasted_ them' mean (in the Canto)? _That
is not me._ Consult the MS. always."

I am fully aware this will not interpret the meaning of the passage, but it will go far to satisfy your correspondents that their emendations and suggestions do not completely answer Lord Byron's query in the letter referred to by

_The Island and Temple of AEgina_ (Vol. iv., pp. 255. 412.).--Having been, some time since, greatly pleased by a fine engraving of the ruined Temple of Jupiter Panhellenius in AEgina (but unaccompanied by any description), and having had a well executed water-colour drawing made therefrom, my interest was aroused on the subject, and I searched among books within reach for particulars on the subject of what there seems every reason to regard as the oldest temple in Greece, with the single exception of that of Corinth. After a patient search I found Fosbroke's _Foreign Topography_ (4to. edition, 1828, pp. 3, 4, 5.) to contain the best account of those interesting ruins. The work is not a scarce one in good libraries: I shall therefore be concise in the extracts from it. The article entitled "AEgina (Greece)" states that the remains of the Temple of Jupiter Panhellenius (which are engraved in the _Ionian Antiquities_) prove it to have been of the Doric order; that it had six columns in front, but only twelve on the side, in opposition to the usual custom among Greek architects of adding one column more than double the number of those in front. The architecture is said closely to approach that of the hexastyle hypaethral Temple of Paestum. Williams, in his _Travels_, expresses the opinion that this Temple of Jupiter is older than that of Theseus or the Parthenon. In Dodwell's _Greece_, too, there is an ample description of it. He represents it to have been part of the ruins of an ancient city, perhaps of Oie. Twenty-five columns were left entire in his day; together with the greater part of the epistylion, or architrave. The cornice, however, with the metopae and triglyphs, have all fallen. The view of this gloriously positioned temple must have been magnificent from the sea; while the details of the building must have been equally delighting to the near spectator. The temple was built of soft porous stone, coated with a thin stucco, which must have given it a marble appearance. The epistylia were painted, and the cornice elegantly ornamented in a similar manner. The pavement was also covered with a thick stucco, painted vermilion. Chandler (_Greece_, 12-15.) describes traces of the peribolus of this temple; and Clarke styles it at once the most ancient and remarkable in Greece. I may add that the AEginetans were celebrated for their works in bronze, for fine medals (the art of coining money indeed being first introduced by the inhabitants of this island), for their terra cotta vases, &c. Fosbroke's excellent _Cyclopaedia of Antiquities_ may be with advantage consulted in respect to the Eginetic school of art.

_Herschel Anticipated_ (Vol. iv., p. 233.).--I cannot inform AEGROTUS who was declared to be mad for believing the sun's motion, but Herschel was anticipated by Lalande (_Memoires_, 1776), who inferred it from the sun's rotation; also by Professor Wilson, of Glasgow (_Thoughts on Universal Gravitation_, 1777), and, earlier than these, by the Rev. Mr. Michell, in _Philosophical Transactions_, 1767. Mayer (_De Motu Fixarum_, 1760) mentions the hypothesis, and rejects it.

ALTRON.

_Wyle Cop_ (Vol. iv., pp. 116. 243.).--_Cop_ is not a _hill_ or _head_, as Mr. Lawrence supposes, and as the word certainly signifies in some parts of England, but a _bank_. The artificial banks which confine the Dee at and below Chester were called fifty years ago, and I dare say are still called, _Cops_, with distinctive names. By SALOPIAN'S account, _Wyle Cop_ is such a bank. I cannot explain _Wyle_, but think it probable that it was the name of some former proprietor of the ground. It however no more needs explanation than if it were joined to _Street_ or _Lane_, instead of to _Cop_.

_Macfarlane Manuscripts_ (Vol. iv., p. 406.).--In reply to your correspondent ANTIQUARIENSIS, I have to inform you that the "Macfarlane Collections" preserved in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, are chiefly of an "ecclesiastic nature." In Turnbull's _Fragmenta Scoto-Monastica_, published by Stevenson of Edinburgh, 1842, I find it stated that--

"Mr. Walter Macfarlan of Macfarlan (_Scotice_, of that Ilk) was an
eminent antiquary, who devoted his attentions strictly to the
historical monuments of his own country, especially the
ecclesiastic remains. He caused to be made, at his own expense, by
his clerk, one Tait, copies of most of the chartularies accessible
in his time. These are distinguished for their fidelity and
neatness. Mr. Macfarlan died 5th June, 1767, and his MSS. were
purchased by the Faculty of Advocates."

Of these valuable and highly important chartularies there has been printed, 1. Aberdeen; 2. Arbroath; 3. Balmerino; 4. Dryburgh; 5. Dunfermline; 6. Kelso; 7. Lindores; 8. Melros; 9. Moray; 10. St. Andrews; and 11. Scone.

According to Douglas, in his _Baronage of Scotland_, folio, 1798--

"Mr. Macfarlane was a man of parts, learning, and knowledge, a
most ingenious antiquary, and by far the best genealogist of his
time. He was possessed of the most valuable collection of
materials for a work of this kind of any man in the kingdom, which
he collected with great judgment, and at a considerable expense,
and to which we always had, and still have, free access. This
sufficiently appears by the many quotations from Macfarlane's
collections, both in the Peerage and Baronage of Scotland. In
short, he was a man of great benevolence, an agreeable companion,
and a sincere friend.

"He married Lady Elizabeth Erskine, daughter of Alexander, sixth
earl of Kelly, and died without issue in June, 1767."

In the year 1846 there was engraved at the expense of W. B. C. C. Turnbull, Esq., advocate, a fine portrait of Macfarlane, from the original painting in the Library of the Society of Scottish Antiquaries. Of this plate it is believed that only a few "proofs upon India paper" were thrown off for presents.

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.

When Heminge and Condell put forth the first folio of Shakspeare in 1623, as if with a fine prescience of the immortal fame which was destined to await the writings of their "so worthy Friend and Fellow," they addressed the volume to all, "from the most able to him that can but read." And it is obvious from the moderate price at which it has been issued, that the proprietor of the handsome one-volume edition which has just appeared under the title of _The Lansdowne Shakspeare_ looks for purchasers within the same wide range. The book is indeed well calculated to win favour from all classes. The text, which is based on that of Collier, compared with that of the first folio and the editions of Steevens, Malone, Knight, &c., is clearly and distinctly printed; the names of the characters being given, not only at full length, and in the middle of the page, but also in red ink. The stage directions are distinguished in the like manner. It has, moreover, the Dedicatory Address and Commendatory Verses from the original edition; and, what certainly deserves especial mention, an admirable facsimile by Robinson of the portrait by Droeshout, which, on the authority of Ben Jonson's well-known declaration, that it was a work--

"Wherein the Graver had a strife
With Nature, to out doo the life:
O could he but have drawne his wit
_As well in brasse as he hath hit
His face_; the Print would then surpasse
All that was ever writ in brasse"--

is by many regarded as the most authentic portrait of the great poet. Altogether, therefore, _The Lansdowne Shakspeare_ is a beautiful book, and well deserves to be both the library and travelling companion of every lover of poetry--of every student of Shakspeare.

Our correspondent, Dr. Henry, has published a miscellaneous volume under the title of _Unripe Windfalls_, which consists of some amusing _vers de societe_--a Letter addressed to ourselves, containing some very trenchant criticism on the obscurities of Lord Byron; and, lastly, some specimens of Dr. Henry's _Virgilian Commentaries_, some few of which have appeared in our columns. This fact, coupled with the letter addressed to ourselves, must preclude us from speaking of the volume in those terms of commendation which we should otherwise have felt it right to employ.

_Outlines of Comparative Physiology touching the Structure and Development of the Races of Animals Living and Extinct_, by L. Agassiz and A. A. Gould, _edited from the Revised Edition and greatly enlarged_ by T. Wright, M.D., is the new issue of Bohn's _Scientific Library_. The present volume forms the first part of the _Principles of Zoology_, which was designed by Professor Agassiz, in conjunction with Mr. Gould, as a text book for the use of the higher schools and colleges, for which, as the editor remarks, it is well adapted from its simplicity of style, clearness of arrangement, and its important and comprehensive range of subjects. In the present edition the woodcut illustrations have been increased from 170 to 390, thereby adding greatly to the value of a work which is well calculated to furnish the general reader with trustworthy information upon the matter to which it relates.

BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Literary and Scientific Register and Almanac for 1852_, edited by J. W. G. Gutch, puts forth this--its eleventh appearance--with increased claims to public favour in the shape of many important additions and improvements, in the great mass of condensed information which it contains. _The Orations of M. T. Cicero literally translated by_ C. D. Yonge, B.A. _Vol. I. containing the Orations for Quintius, Sextus Roscius, Quintus Roscius, against Quintius Caecilius and against Verres_, is the new volume of Bohn's _Classical Library_. The fifth volume of _Neander's General History of the Christian Religion and Church_ (of the value of which we have already spoken) forms the new issue of the same enterprising publisher's _Standard Library_.

PERMANENT ENLARGEMENT OF "NOTES AND QUERIES."--_In compliance with the suggestion of many of our correspondents, and for the purpose of giving more ready insertion to the Replies which we receive to their Queries, we propose to enlarge our Paper permanently to 24 pages; making it 32 pages when occasion requires.

BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS and NEW-YEAR'S GIFT. The "Art-Journal Illustrated Catalogue" (price One Guinea) is recommended as a peculiarly appropriate Gift Book for the Christmas of 1851. "It is at once interesting, useful, and beautiful;" "a valuable reminder of the Exhibition to those by whom it was visited, and equally valuable to those to whom the enjoyment was denied;" "a beautiful book for the drawing-room;" and "a useful instructor for all classes." This volume may still be obtained of any bookseller; but it will soon be out of print.

NEW GIFT-BOOK FOR THE SEASON.

Just published, crown 8vo., price 16_s._ elegantly bound.

THE LANSDOWNE SHAKESPEARE. This beautiful One-volume Edition of
the Englishman's household book, perfectly unique in the annals of
printing, and dedicated, by express permission, to the Most Noble
the Marquis of Lansdowne, is now ready.

It has been produced, regardless of cost, in order that it may
take a permanent position as a gentleman's hand-book abroad and a
drawing-room bijou at home. Its characteristics will be found in
uniting with its portability a clearness and facility in reading
hitherto unattained in any edition, the text being from the latest
and best Authorities; and, for the first time in any edition of
Shakespeare, the names of the characters are placed in the centre
of the page, unabridged, on the plan adopted in the plays of
Moliere, Racine, Corneille, Goethe, and Schiller; and which
arrangement has been still further greatly improved by printing
them, and also the whole of the Stage Directions, in red ink, the
text being in black; thus rendering the pages of Shakespeare as
pleasant and easy to read as a Novel by Scott, and for facility of
reference unequalled.

To Printers this volume will appear extraordinary for its
cheapness and the great care required in its production, nearly
1,200 pages, of a minute character, being printed in different
coloured inks.

A magnificent Portrait has been engraved for this Edition, by H.
ROBINSON, in Line, after Droeshout's Engraving to the first folio,
and of which a few impressions have been taken on large paper
separately. These may be had Proofs, 5_s._; Prints, 3_s._ each.
