Chapter D: Rock

You have not told us the origin of this title. I have just been reminded of the omission by the dedication of _Ludovici Cappelli Commentarii_, Amstel., 1689, which is--

"Wilhelmo Archiepiscopo Cantuariensi ... alterius orbis, sed
melioris, Papæ."

_Charles Dodd_ (Vol. ii., p. 496.).--TYRO will find an account of this writer in _Biographical Illustrations of Worcestershire_: by John Chambers, Esq.: Worcester, 1820, 8vo., p. 591., from which we learn that his true name was Hugh Toot_el_, a Lancashire man born in 1672, in the neighbourhood of Preston. The name of Hugh Toot_le_ is recognised in the prospectus or announcement of Mr. Tierney's new edition of Dodd's _Church History of England_, of which the first and second volumes appeared so long ago as 1839: but I regret to say that the work is yet far from being completed.

"_Prenzie_" (Vol. iii., p. 522.).--We seem now to have got to the true reading, "primzie." The termination _zie_ suits a Scotch word perhaps. I only wish to mention, that the form "prin" is connected with the verb "to preen," which we use of birds. Yet that again seems connected with _prune_. Etymology is always in a circle.

C. B.

"_In Print_" (Vol. iii., p. 500.).--In confirmation of the statement made as to the expression "in print" meaning "with exactness," &c., I perfectly remember an old Somersetshire servant of our's, who used to say, when he saw me romping after I was dressed: "Take care, Sir, you'll put your hair _out of print_."
