Chapter III: Part 3

_A Baron's Hearse_ (Vol. v., p. 128.).--The editorial reply in this page has referred to the Note on Funerals which I prefixed to _Machyn's Diary_; and from that book may certainly be gathered the best possible notion of the style and character of the hearse, and other paraphernalia attendant upon funerals in England during the sixteenth century. But in a book which I edited for another Society, namely, _The Unton Inventories_, 1841, will be found the authority for Lloyd's statement relative to the funeral of Sir Henry Unton: it is the certificate in the College of Arms, which states that he was buried at Faringdon "with a baron's hearse, and in the degree of a baron, because he died ambassador leidger for France." A Lord Mayor of London, dying in office, was in like manner interred with the observances due to a baron. It appears from Sir Henry Unton's papers that he was usually addressed as "My Lord" whilst in France as ambassador. May I inquire whether that practice is still kept up towards ambassadors who are not peers? or, if not, when did it cease?

_The Bed of Ware_ (Vol. v., p. 128.).--There is an engraving of the Bed of Ware in Clutterbuck's _History of Hertfordshire_, and another in Shaw's _Ancient Furniture_.

[We are also reminded by Mr. C. H. COOPER that it is engraved in
Knight's _Pictorial Shakspeare_.]

_Symbolism of Death_ (Vol. iii., pp. 450. 501.).--Will you permit a Note to say, that Herder, after Lessing, and in continuation of his essay, wrote on the subject of "Death, as symbolically represented by the Ancients." Lessing's treatise was lately mentioned by one of your correspondents, without any notice of Herder's.

J. M.

_General Wolfe_ (Vol. iv., p. 438.).--I send the following "Notes from Newspapers," thinking they may be of service to [Gh.].:--

"His Majesty has been pleased to appoint the Hon. Col. Wolfe to be
Inspector of all the marines."

_London and County Journal_, May 13, 1742.

"To Rome from Pontus thus great Julius wrote,
I came, I saw, and conquer'd, ere I fought.
In Canada, brave Wolfe, more nobly tried,
Came, saw, and conquer'd,--but in battle died.
More glorious far than Cæsar's was his doom,
Who lived to die for Tyranny in Rome."

_London Chronicle_, August 18. 1774.

These lines are headed "An Epitaph intended for General Wolfe." They are signed by E. D.

In the _Illustrated London News_ of Jan. 24 is the popular air known as "General Wolfe's Song," which, according to Sir H. Bishop's "note," is said to have been composed by him the night previous to the battle on the Plains of Abraham.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

When we remember the ill-drawn and gaudily coloured prints with which, until these few years, it was the fashion to illustrate all books intended for the use and amusement of young people, we cannot but be forcibly struck with the improvement which has taken place in this respect. These remarks have been suggested to us by a couple of children's books just issued by Messrs. Addey, in the illustration of which those tasteful publishers have employed the able pencil of Hablot Browne. The first, _Home and its Pleasures, Simple Stories for Young People_, by Mrs. Harriet Myrtle, contains eight admirable designs; while _Aunt Effie's Rhymes for Little Children_--and Aunt Effie is a most capital writer of Rhymes for Babyland--is enriched with no less than twenty-four illustrations, some of which are rich in the peculiar humour of this artist. To the same house we are also indebted for a work of still higher interest, namely, a new and complete edition of _The Danish Fairy Legends and Tales_, by Hans Christian Andersen, containing (besides a Memoir of the Author) no less than forty-five tales, translated direct from the original language, and not through any German version. This will be good news to all who know and admire the playful humour and deep imaginings of the great Danish Story Teller.

_Child's Play, Seventeen Drawings by E. V. B._, demands notice, not as a work of literature, but of Art, and Art of a very high order. For fancy, grace, and simplicity, these exquisite illustrations of some of our old Nursery Rhymes may challenge comparison with any works of a similar character with which we are acquainted. Produced by the Anastatic process, they show how available that process may be made to the requirements of the amateur: for, admirable as are these designs, they owe their existence to the taste and artistic skill of a lady; for we believe "E. V. B." designates the Hon. Mrs. Boyle. Little wonder, as poor Theodore Hook would have said, to find one of the _Cork_ family distinguished for _drawing_.

BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Relations between the Holy Scriptures and some parts of Geological Science_, the fifth edition of a well-known and much esteemed work by the late Dr. Pye Smith, forms the new issue of Bohn's _Scientific Library_. His _Antiquarian Library_ has been enriched by the publication of the second volume of _The Works of Sir Thomas Browne_, containing the last three books of the _Vulgar Errors_, his _Religio Medici_, and _The Garden of Cyrus_. The fifth volume of _The Works of Plato_, containing the _Laws_, translated by George Burges, has been added to the _Classical Library_. _Home Truths for Home Peace_, or, _"Muddle" Defeated; a Practical Inquiry into what chiefly mars or makes the Comfort of Domestic Life, chiefly addressed to Young Housewives_, is an attempt at the exposure and destruction of their most insidious and deadly enemy, and deserves to be well known for the good sense, right feeling, and quaint humour, with which its praiseworthy object is inculcated. Lebahn's _Henry von Eichenfels_, _Wonderful History of Peter Schlemihl_, _Egmont by Goethe_, _Wilhelm Tell by Schiller_. Although there is no royal road to learning, it is unquestionable that the journey may be shortened, and the path rendered less wearisome by the company of judicious guides. The four books edited by M. Falck Lebahn, whose titles we have just enumerated, consisting of well-known masterpieces of his country's literature, each accompanied by a vocabulary, complete, both as regards the words and the difficult phrases in the several works to which they are attached, belong to this class, and will greatly facilitate the self instructor in his acquirement of a language which is not only one of the richest in Europe in indigenous works, but far richer than any other in its translations from all other languages.

TOMB OF THE TRADESCANTS.

In Lambeth Churchyard is a Monument, once handsome and elaborately
carved, which was erected in 1662 by the widow of JOHN TRADESCANT
the younger, to the memory of her father-in-law, her husband, and
her son, who were inhabitants of that parish.

The Monument of the TRADESCANTS, which was repaired by public
subscription in 1773, has now again fallen into decay. The
inscription also on the stone that covers ASHMOLE's grave, who was
himself buried in Lambeth Church, is now very nearly effaced. The
restoration of that Church, now nearly finished, seems a fit
occasion for repairing both these Monuments. It is therefore
proposed to raise a fund for the perfect restoration of the Tomb
of the TRADESCANTS, according to its original form, as represented
in two drawings preserved in the Pepysian Library at Cambridge,
and also for renewing Ashmole's epitaph. The cost will not be less
than 100_l._, and assistance is earnestly requested from all who
are anxious to preserve ancient monuments, especially those who
are following the same pursuits as the TRADESCANTS, and who are
daily deriving benefit and delight from the labours and
discoveries of these first of English gardeners and naturalists.

Contributions may be paid to,

Sir William J. Hooker, K. H., &c. &c., Royal Gardens, Kew.

most strictly limited to a small number of copies, and every copy
has the autograph attestation of the printers, that they have
carefully adhered to the proposed limit. This plan has been
adopted, to prevent the possibility of the works being depreciated
in value by coming into the market.

1_l._ 1_s._

It contains about 50,000 Words (embodying all the known scattered

reading of the works of our old Poets, Dramatists, Theologians,
and other authors, whose works abound with allusions, of which
explanations are not to be found in ordinary Dictionaries and
books of reference. Most of the principal Archaisms are
illustrated by examples selected from early inedited MSS. and rare
books, and by far the greater portion will be found to be original
authorities.

[Star symbol] An indispensable book to those engaged in
genealogical or topographical pursuits, affording a ready clue to

their residences, &c. (distinguishing the different families of
the same name, in every county), as recorded by the Heralds in
their Visitations, with Indexes to other genealogical MSS. in the
British Museum. It has been the work of immense labour. No public
library ought to be without it.

"One of the first wants of an incipient antiquary is the facility
of comparison, and here it is furnished him at one glance. The
plates, indeed, form the most valuable part of the book, both by
their number and the judicious selection of types and examples
which they contain. It is a book which we can, on this account,
safely and warmly recommend to all who are interested in the
antiquities of their native land."--_Literary Gazette._

"A book of such utility--so concise, so clear, so well condensed
from such varied and voluminous sources--cannot fail to be
generally acceptable."--_Art Union._
