Chapter III: Part 3

_Chantrey's Sleeping Children_ (Vol. v., p. 428.).--In a highly interesting and pathetic volume of elegiac poetry, written by Sir Brooke Boothby (and published in London by Cadell and Davies, 1796), entitled _Sorrows Sacred to the Memory of Penelope_, is contained a fine engraving of the exquisite recumbent figure by Banks in Ashbourne Church, referred to by your correspondent. Perhaps you will afford room for the quotation of the following sonnet (_Sorrows_, p. 18.), which may interest readers unacquainted with the volume:

SONNET XII.

"Well has thy classick chisel, Banks, express'd
The graceful lineaments of that fine form,
Which late with conscious, living beauty warm,
Now here beneath does in dread silence rest.
And, oh, while life shall agitate my breast,
Recorded there exists her every charm,
In vivid colours, safe from change or harm,
Till my last sigh unalter'd love attest.
That form, as fair as ever fancy drew,
The marble cold, inanimate, retains;
But of the radiant smile, that round her threw
Joys, that beguiled my soul of mortal pains,
And each divine expression's varying hue,
A little senseless dust alone remains."

_Daniel De Foe_ (Vol. v., p. 392.).--Your correspondent, on referring to Wilson's _Life of De Foe_ (vol. iii. p. 648.), will find some mention of John Joseph De Foe, his unfortunate great-grandson (not grandson), who was executed at Tyburn, January 2, 1771. In the _Sessions Papers for 1770-1_ (p. 25.), he will also find the trial of John Clark and John Joseph Defoe, otherwise Brown, otherwise Smith, for the robbery, on the King's highway, of Alexander Fordyce, Esq. There seems to have been no distinct identification of De Foe as one of the parties committing the robbery; but in those days juries did not stand upon trifles, and he had but little grace accorded to him. He was probably the grandson of Daniel's second son, Bernard Norton De Foe, the abused of Pope; but this is not quite certain.

Of the descendant of Daniel De Foe, who lived in or adjoining Hungerford Market, your correspondent will also find mention in Wilson (vol. iii. p. 649.). In all probability there are many descendants of this great man now living in this country or abroad.

Your correspondent is under a mistake as to Robert Drury's Journal. The first edition of that work, which I have now before me, came out in 1729, and therefore could not have been made use of by De Foe in writing _Robinson Crusoe_, published ten years before. How far Drury's Journal is true or fictitious, and by whom it was written, are curious questions; but to attempt their solution would be out of place in this reply.

JAS. CROSSLEY.

_Howard's Conquest of China_ (Vol. v., p. 225.).--Is J. MT. satisfied that the scene written by the Earl of Rochester does not form part of Elkanah Settle's play, _The Conquest of China by the Tartars_ (1676, 4to.)? It is also written in rhyme; and Rochester was, as is well known, a patron of Settle. If J. MT. have not referred to it, it may be worth while to do so, or to give a few lines from the scene, to afford an opportunity of ascertaining the point.

JAS. CROSSLEY.

_Buro, Berto, Beriora_ (Vol. v., p. 395.).--A satisfactory explanation of these three words is much to be desired, as they have puzzled the antiquary, the linguist, and the classical scholar for nearly forty years. They remind me of a similar case I met with in my reading not long ago. The word _Ilpadelt_, painted on the windows of the church of the Celestines at Marconcies, was the puzzle of all that read it, till one day a Turk, who had received baptism, and was in the suite of Francis I., came to Marconcies in the year 1523, and discovered that the word was _Syriac_, and that it meant "God is my hope;" which explanation was registered in the abbey library. These words had been the motto of John de Montaign, who had founded the abbey, and enriched it with many valuable treasures, according to a vow he had made during the sickness of Charles VI.

However, if it will not disconcert the learned, I will, _audax omnia perpati_, venture upon a conjecture as to the meaning of these hidden words. Ought not the first letters, thought to be _Bu_, in reality to be read _Pro_? in which case the legend will be _Pro Roberti Beri ora_, _i.e._ pray for Robert Berry; and the ring will be a mourning ring.

While on this subject, I may add that the inscribed rings, commonly called _talismanic_ or _cabalistic_ rings, are improperly so designated. The Latin term is much more appropriate, "annuli vertuosi." Perhaps _mystical_ might be a suitable name.

CEYREP.

_Where was Cromwell buried?_ (Vol. v., p. 396.).--A. B. will find that the interesting inquiry relative to the last resting-place of Cromwell, has been investigated in a little work by Henry Lockinge, M.A., late curate of Naseby, entitled _Historical Gleanings on the Memorable Field of Naseby_, published in 1830. Mr. Lockinge, besides alluding to the "Memoranda" of the vicar, the Rev. W. Marshall, on the subject, adduces evidence, apparently satisfactory, which leaves the Protector's remains slumbering, "uncommemorated, beneath the turf of Naseby Field."

OLIVER PEMBERTON.

Birmingham.

_Glass-making in England_ (Vol. v., pp. 322. 382.).--Allow me to refer MR. CATO to the late Mr. Turner's work on _Domestic Architecture of the Middle Ages_. He will there find (pp. 73-83.) an interesting digression on the history of glass-making, and its introduction into domestic use. In addition to the facts contained in that work, the following anecdote from my common-place book may not be altogether uninteresting. It is recorded with gratitude that Robert de Lindesay, chosen Abbot of Peterborough in 1214, beautified thirty of the monastic windows with glass, which previously had been stuffed with straw to keep out the cold and rain. (Gunton's _Hist. Ch. Peterborough_, p. 27.; Stevens' _Continuation of Dugdale's Monasticon_, vol. i. p. 478.)

F. SOMNER MERRYWEATHER.

_The Surname Devil_ (Vol. v., p. 370.).--In answer to your correspondent, who inquires whether there are any persons named _Devil_, I beg to say that there is (or was, two years since) a person of that name, a labouring man, residing in the hamlet of Aston, in the parish of Hope, Derbyshire. Whether there are more of the name living there, I am unable to state; but I remember distinctly hearing of one, and the name being so peculiar, fixed itself in my memory.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

There can be little doubt that the beneficent intentions which prompted the late Earl of Bridgewater to bequeath 8000_l._ for the production of a work _On the Power, Wisdom, and Goodness of God, as manifested in the Creation_, were fully realised, when the late Mr. Davies Gilbert, the then President of the Royal Society, to whom the duty of carrying out such intentions was allotted, did, with the assistance of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London, select for that purpose the very eminent men to whom the world is indebted for the now well-known series of books entitled _The Bridgewater Treatises_. And there can be as little doubt that the republication, in a more popular form, of these Essays, written by men most eminent for their scientific attainments, and for the noble purpose of proving the consistency of the works with the Word of God, is a still further carrying out of the original intentions of the testator. We are therefore glad to see that they are to form a portion of Bohn's _Scientific Library_. The first volume--being the first also of the Rev. W. Kirby's Treatise _On the History, Habits, and Instincts of Animals_, revised by Professor Rymer Jones, who has added a few notes to the text explanatory of omissions and errors incidental to the condition of zoological knowledge at the time of its publication, and with the addition of many new woodcuts--has just been issued, and is destined, we trust, to be circulated throughout the whole length and breadth of the land.

Our readers who take an interest in the literature of Germany will be pleased to hear that the _Deutsches Wörterbuch_ of the Brothers Grimm, the announcement of which fourteen years since created so much excitement, is at press, and that the first portion of it may very shortly be expected in this country. From the specimen which has been forwarded to us by Messrs. Williams and Norgate, we think we may safely assure our readers that, while on the one hand the work will be found such as to do justice to the well-known acquirements of its distinguished authors, it will not be found to be so overlaid with learning as to be only fit for the use of profound philologists.

Messrs. Murray and Longman continue stedfast in their good work of supplying the still increasing demand for works of real value at moderate prices. The _Reading for the Rail_ has, since we last called attention to the series, been enriched with James's _Fables of Æsop_, with one hundred original and beautiful woodcuts designed by John Tenniel; with the _Sketch of Theodore Hook_, from which we quoted in our last Number; and with an admirable collection of stories of naval heroism, under the title of _Deeds of Naval Daring_.

Messrs. Longman, on the other hand, have added to their _Traveller's Library_ one of the most interesting and curious books of travels in Africa ever given to the public, we allude to Ferdinand Werne's _Feldzug nach Taka_, the merits of which were recently pointed out in _Blackwood's Magazine_, and which Mr. Johnston has well translated, under the title of _African Wanderings; or an Expedition to Taka, Basa, and Beni-Amer, with a Particular Glance at the Races of Bellad Sudan_. A more interesting book for the traveller, or the stayer at home, we have not met with for some time.

THREATENED DEMOLITION OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

In consequence of many thousands of persons in the United Kingdom
having been unable to obtain a Copy of the GREAT EXHIBITION CHART,

DISPATCH, to their Subscribers and the Public, in the months of
January and February last, A RE-ISSUE has been determined upon, to
take place on SUNDAY the 16th of MAY. The Chart, which has
undergone a careful revision, shows by simple diagrams the number
of persons that visited the Exhibition daily, the amount of money
taken at the various entrances, the quantity of refreshments

every individual in the country may possess this statistical
reflex of curious and interesting results, to mark the demolition
of the building, and to serve as a memento of its existence, the
Chart will be delivered GRATIS to every Subscriber and Purchaser
of the DISPATCH on the day stated.
