Chapter C

_Delighted, Meaning of_ (Vol. ii., pp. 113. 329.).--A discussion was, some time ago, carried on in the pages of "N. & Q." relative to the signification of the word _delighted_ as used by Shakspeare. The same word occurs in a sense very different from that which it now bears in the "Epistle Dedicatory" (dated 1667) to _The City and Country Purchaser and Builder_, by Stephen Primatt. The book is dedicated to Sir Orlando Bridgman and "the rest of the Justices and Barons appointed----for Determination of Differences touching Houses burnt down or demolished by reason of the late Fire in London," and the following is the passage alluded to:

"The truely merited reputation by your Honours equal ballancing
the Scales of Justice, hath, and is the daily cause of so many
Petitioners to you for the same, especially in the late
wisely-erected Court of Judicature; wherein your Honours, by your
quick and _delighted_ equitable dispatch of such differences as
have come before you, hath sufficiently testified your undoubted
loyalty to our Sovereign Lord the King, and amity to his people,"
&c.

R. C. H.

_Stops, when first introduced_ (Vol. v., p. 1.).--The semicolon had been freely used in England some years before the date (1589) of Puttenham's _Arte of English Poesie_. If Sir Henry Ellis will turn to the first edition of Archbishop Sandys' Sermons, _Sermons made by the most reuerende Father in God, Edwin, Archbishop of Yorke_: At London, printed by Henrie Midleton, for Thomas Charde, 1585, he will find semicolons in abundance. I see that the note of interrogation occurs in _A Compendiovs and very frvtefvl treatyse teachynge the waye of Dyenge well_, _by Thomas Lupsete;_ London, 1541. It is no doubt to be found at an earlier date, but my poor library does not afford an older English book. The same mark, I may add, was used as a note both of interrogation and of exclamation.

A. J. H.

_Force of Conscience_ (Vol. iii., p. 38.).--The relation given by your correspondent J. K. is also to be found in a volume entitled _The Providence of God illustrated_, 12mo., London, 1836, pp. 386. 387., in very similar words, but no authority is given. Many anecdotes equally extraordinary are to be found in this work; it would be very desirable to authenticate them.

W. SPARROW SIMPSON, B.A.

_Monton in Pembroke_ (Vol. iv., p. 371.).--I have to remark that this mountain, or monton (the meaning of which B. B. finds it difficult to explain), is situated outside the walls of Pembroke on the adjoining hill; and there is now the remains of a priory in or about the midst to which this village belonged, and that in old deeds it is written Monkton, or Moncton. Perhaps this may solve his difficulty.

J. D.

_Catterick for Cattraeth_ (Vol. iv., p. 453.).--I understand MR. STEPHENS to insinuate that Cattraeth means Catterick or _vice versâ_. That both names begin with _cat_, and so much only, I am able to concede.

Catterick was Cataractonium, or Cataracta, a Latin word of Greek derivation, alluding to the rapids of the Swale. No man can dispute that Cat-traeth is a compound of regular and truly idiomatic formation. Therefore the best meaning I can surmise is this: that Aneurin, wishing to play upon the syllable _cat_, the battle, and disregarding the falsehood and inapplicability of _traeth_, therefore travestied Cataracta into Cattraeth. For the meaning of _traeth_, in topography, see Giraldus, _Itin. Cambr._ lib. ii. cap. 6., and the common sources of information.

But that meaning was not one tolerated by Aneurin, maugre its untruth, in order to avail himself of the other and appropriate word. It was one on which he leant heavily and with emphasis, reproducing, and multiplying it in several forms. For he calls the scene of contest not only Cat-traeth, seabeach of battle, but also Gall-traeth, sea-beach of prowess; and Mordai, the sea-shore: "Gododin ar llawr mordai: Gododin whose ground-plot is on the sea-shore." Again, the scene of "outcry and slaughter" is called Uffin; but Uffin was situate on "y mordai ymmoroedd Gododin," on the sea-shore of the sea of Gododin.

Catterick is remote from the sea, and inconsistent with all that Aneurin says. And though Sigston should mean in Anglo-Saxon _town of victory_, from some ancient occurrence, Catterick is assuredly not derived from _cat_, a battle, in British. Bilinguar etymology, of the same date, and from the same event, would be suspicious, even if facts did not confute it.

A. N.

_Biographical Dictionary_ (Vol. iv., p. 483.).--It is almost unnecessary to direct Z. Z. Z. to the _Biographical Dictionary_ of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, inasmuch as it is but a splendid fragment, comprising only the letter A, in seven half-volumes. But it may be of use to call attention to this work; and as, from an examination of the plan, the names of the contributors, and that of the editor, no one can have any doubt of its worth and superiority, so one would imagine that an enterprising publisher might take up the continuation of it without risk.

ED. STEANE JACKSON.

Saffron Walden.

_Martinique_ (Vol. v., p. 11.).--One of your correspondents from St. Lucia asks why the Island of Martinique was so called. It is from the circumstance of its having been discovered on _St. Martin's Day_, 1502, by Christopher Columbus.

PHILIP S. KING.

_A Regular Mull_ (Vol. iii., pp. 449. 508.).--The suggestions of W. E. W. and M. as to the origin of this expression are amusing, and show, however farfetched the derivations, their authors have not gone so far as "Malabar or Deccan." Had either of these gentlemen been from the land of the wise, they would have known that the residents of Bengal, Bombay, and Madras are, in Eastern parlance, designated "Qui Hies," "Ducks," and "Mulls." Madras not hitherto having been so highly favoured by "Kumpanie Jehân," is in a comparatively less advanced stage of civilisation than its sister presidencies. The Qui Hies and Ducks, attributing this to the inertness and want of go-a-headness of the Mulls, hold them (though most unjustly) in cheap estimation; hence they say of a person deficient in skill and cleverness that he is "a regular Mull."

TAPROBANE.

_The Pelican as a Symbol of the Saviour_ (Vol. v., p. 59.).--In Lord Lindsay's _Christian Art_, vol. i. xx. xxi., we find, in the text: "God the Son (is symbolised) by a Pelican" (Psalm cii. 6.), to which is added the following note:

"The mediæval interpretation of this symbol is given as follows by
Sir David Lindsay of the Mount, Lion King (nephew of the poet), in
his MS. Collectanea, preserved in the Advocates' Library,
Edinburgh:--

"'The Pellican is ane foule in Egipt, of the quhilkis auld men
sayis that the litill birdis straikis thair fader in the face with
thair wingis, and crabis him quhill (till) he slayis thame. And
quhen the moder seis thame slane, scho greitis (weeps) and makis
grit dule thre dayis lang, quhill scho streikis hirself in the
breist with hir neb (beak), and garris the blude skayle (flow)
vpone hir birdis, quhairthrow thai restoir and turnis to lyf
agane. Bot sum folkis sayis thai ar clekkit swown and (hatched
swooning), lyk as thai war bot (without) life, and that thair
fader haillis (heals) thame agane with his blude. And this maner
haly kirk beiris witnes, quhair our Lord sayis that he is maid lyk
the Pelican.'"

I wish Lord L. had translated "crabis."

F. W. J.

_Church_ (Vol. v., p. 79.).--Can it be that MR. STEPHENS is not aware that there is a long dissertation on the subject of his Query in Ihre's _Glossarium Suio-Gothicum_ voce "Kyrka?" The Welsh still retain the derivative from the Latin, _Eglwys_.

B. WILLIAMS.

_Donkey_ (Vol. v., p. 78.).--C. W. G. asks, "What is the origin of _donkey_?" Perhaps he may consider the following (from the great authority) as satisfactory. Porson was introduced to a _Danish_ archæologist of celebrity, who, thinking it necessary to say something to Porson, rather abruptly addressed him thus: "I dink, Mr. Porson, that you vil agree wid me, that asses is derived from Asia." Porson eyed the learned Dane, and observed: "Yes, Sir, about as much as that _donkey_ is derived from Denmark: and that is a thought that never struck me till now."

ÆGROTUS.

_Moravian Hymns_ (Vol. v., p. 113.).--Dr. Pusey's _Letter to the Bishop of London_ (Epiphany, 1851), § vi., forms a curious comment on the almost blasphemous lines quoted on this page.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

A Note on the coins of Edward III. by PROFESSOR VAN DER CHŸS, director of the cabinet of coins and medals in the University of Leyden, in a former part of this Number, reminds us to inform our readers that the Teyler's Society in Haarlem have just published the treatise on the coins of the ancient duchies of Brabant and Limberg from the earliest times to the pacification of Ghent, referred to by the professor, who, has been several years occupied in making drawings and descriptions of coins in his own collection, in the cabinet under his care, and in other public and private collections in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries. His work, comprising more than 400 quarto pages of description and historical research, with 36 well-executed plates containing 470 specimens of coins from original drawings, supplies a want long felt, and will be equally welcomed by the lover of coins and the student of history. It is not less remarkable for its cheapness than for its beauty.

Since the days when Teofilo Folengo, who has with some propriety been regarded as the forerunner of Rabelais, gave to the world, under the name of Merlinus Cocaius, the "Libriculum ludicrum et curiosum, partim latino, partim italiano sermone compositum," which may be said to have called into existence that burlesque style of composition which is now understood by the term Macaronic, not only has he found many imitators, but his and their works have always found a numerous class of purchasers at least, if not of readers. In 1829, Genthe gave to the literary world of Germany an excellent history of the works of this peculiar class. He was followed in this country in 1831 by Mr. Sandys, who then gave us his interesting _Specimens of Macaronic Poetry;_ and we have now to thank M. Octave Delepierre for his _Macaronéana, ou Mélanges de Littérature Macaronique des différents Peuples de l'Europe_--an agreeable and amusing work upon the same subject. M. Delepierre, while busied in its preparations, has had the advantage of consulting the library of M. Van de Weyer, which appears to be as rich in this peculiar branch of bibliography, as it is known to be not only in every department of the literature of the Low Countries, but in everything that relates to the general history of literature.

When we consider the unwearied zeal and well-directed perseverance manifested by Mrs. Cowden Clarke in her admirable _Concordance to Shakspeare_, and the unvarying good taste and great ability with which she has shadowed forth the infant life of those female characters which Shakspeare has drawn with such mastery,--we feel that we have scarcely done justice to _The Girlhood of Shakspeare's Heroines_ in allowing this graceful and interesting series of Tales to draw to the close, to which it has now been brought by the publication of _Viola the Twin_ and _Imogen the Peerless_, without having directed the attention of our readers to the various tales, as they were from time to time presented to the world. The press has been unanimous in commending the plan proposed to herself by Mrs. Clarke, as well as her execution of it; and although at the eleventh hour, we join most heartily in a commendation as well deserved as it has been universally bestowed.

If Authors have their peculiar calamities, they may console themselves by the reflection that Editors have also some which are peculiarly their own. Is it a small matter to receive a book (with a title which alone would occupy nearly a column) containing upwards of a thousand closely-printed pages, and be expected to give, in the short space which we can allot to such notes, an account of its objects, merits, &c.? And yet, when one reads in the opening of _The Grammar of English Grammars, with an Introduction, Historical and Critical; the whole methodically arranged and amply illustrated_, &c., by Goold Brown,--that it is the fulfilment of a design formed upwards of a quarter of a century since,--one feels pained at being merely enabled to announce that it is a work obviously the fruit of much reflection on the part of its author, and as obviously deserving of the attention of all whose duty it is to discover the most advantageous system of inculcating the rules of English Grammar.

We understand that several very important publications will shortly be issued from the Oxford University Press. We may first mention the _Fasti Catholici_, or _Universal Chronology_, by the Rev. Edward Greswell, author of the _Harmony of the Gospels_, _the Parables_, &c. It is stated that the present work, which contains the result of the indefatigable labour and research of the Editor for several years, is a still more learned and elaborate production than any of his previous publications. Another, which will excite great attention, is a _Catalogue of the Manuscripts contained in the Libraries of the Twenty-four Colleges and Halls of the University of Oxford_, which has been prepared by the Rev. Henry Octavius Coxe, ore of the sub-librarians of the Bodleian Library, editor of _Roger of Wendover's Chronicle_, and of Lewis's _Collection of Forms of Bidding Prayer_, from the manuscript in the Bodleian Library. And, lastly, we may mention a reprint of Bishop Burnet's _Lives of the Dukes of Hamilton_, which is usually considered as a supplement to Spottiswoode's _History of the Church of Scotland_.
