PRINTERS' ERRORS AND TYPE BOXES (4th S. vii. 509; viii. 51, 189, 276, 290.)-In the Daily News of July 18, in the present year, the heading on the first page was "The Daily News. London, Monday, July 18, 1871." On all the other pages it was "Tuesday, July 18, 1871." July 18 was on a Tuesday, and not on a Monday. It is singular that this misprint, in so very conspicuous a place, should have escaped notice. Query: Was it not noticed before all the copies were struck off?

If it will not be giving ESTE too much trouble, I shall be very glad to receive the sketch of the early cases' which he so kindly (p. 276) offers F. CHANCE.

Sydenham Hill, London, S.E.

misery which was inflicted, behind the heroism with which it was endured, lies the great mystery of our country's national life-a mystery which cannot be solved in Father Gerard's simple way, of thinking everybody to be altogether wrong except those who thought as he did. The rights of the religious conscience and the rights of disentangled in so easy a way. It is not so long since political authority were far too hopelessly confused to be Mr. Froude placed before us his picture of the Elizabethan Jesuits. If there are those who doubted the correctness of the portrait which he has drawn with an unsympawith it, if not exactly what a Jesuit was, at least what thizing hand, they have now an opportunity of comparing he imagined himself to be.

SIRE AND DAM (4th S. viii. 262.)-EBORACUM notes that these words are evidently derived from the French sieur and madam. I agree with him that the word "sire" is from sieur, but the word "dam " " is palpably from dame, not as he believes from madame. It is also plain that the word "filly" is derived from fille.

I should feel obliged if EBORACUM or any of your readers could tell me the derivation of the word "colt." GEORGE C. N. PIESSE.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

The Condition of Catholics under James I. Father Gerard's Narrative of the Gunpowder Plot. Edited, with his Life, by John Morris, Priest of the Society of Jesus. (Longmans & Co.)

"Gunpowder plot," says the boys, "shall never be forgot," and if there were any danger of such a catastrophe, here is a substantial volume to remind us what there is to be said in behalf of the plotters. Father Gerard, who undertakes the brief on behalf of his fellow-Jesuits, Garnet and Tesmond, will probably not carry conviction into the minds of all. But there must be many amongst the readers of "N. & Q." who are qualified to find out for themselves the weak places in his armour, and if they hesitate in undertaking the task, they may perhaps be bribed by the pleasure of reading Gerard's valuable and most interesting autobiography, from which Mr. Morris has judiciously selected long extracts to form the preface of his volume. It is not every day that we can read a book describing from personal experience the interior of a torture-chamber, and telling how the writer, being a tall and heavy man, contrived to escape along a single and almost horizontal rope from the parapet of the Tower of London, and to feel at the same time that it is all true. Yes! that it is all true; that we cannot read the tale as we read a novel from Mudie's, though in the interest which goes to make up a popular story there are few books in Mr. Mudie's library to compete with it. Behind the

Scriptures. Griesbach's denial of the authenticity of the last twelve verses of the Gospel of St. Mark has been followed more recently by Dr. Tregelles, Dr. Tischendorf, and Dean Alford, as the learned editor of the work before us contends, on very insufficient grounds. To vindicate writer's own words, that "St. Mark's last twelve verses the genuineness of this important passage, or, to use the shall no longer remain a subject of dispute among men," is the object which Mr. Burgon has proposed to himself in the work before us; and in the confidence that he has proved that this part of the Gospel has been declared to be spurious on wholly mistaken grounds, he dedicates the book to Sir Roundell Palmer, thereby submitting his arguments to "a practical judicial intellect of the highest stamp." The work is one which must receive the earnest attention of all who study critically the text of the New Testament.

Monuments and Monumental Inscriptions in Scotland. By the Rev. Charles Rogers, LL.D., F.S.A. Scot., Historiographer of the Historical Society of Great Britain. (Published for the Grampian Club.)

The Historiographer of the Historical Society of Great Britain is as untiring and industrious as-but we will name no names, lest by so doing we give offence. It is but the other day we called attention to Scotland, Social and Domestic, produced by the Grampian Club; and now we have to bring under the notice of our readers another volume of nearly 550 pages, which contains the first portion of a book in which Dr. Rogers proposes to preserve a record of the most remarkable monuments and tombstones in Scotland. He commenced his work by addressing a circular letter, accompanied by a schedule, to the whole of the parochial clergy of Scotland. A similar appeal was also made to the schoolmasters; and assistance invited through the Scottish press. Though many parochial functionaries appear not to have responded very cordially to these appeals, he has had, on the other hand, occasion to rejoice in many intelligent and obliging coadjutors. The name of Mr. David Laing figures prominently here, as in every work undertaken in the interest of history or literature, and is followed by that of Dean Ramsay and of other distinguished scholars. If not a perfect collection of all the monuments &c. in the districts included in the present volume, it is a very rich one; and as it includes the counties of Edinburgh, Linlithgow, Haddington, Berwick, Roxburgh, Peebles, Selkirk, Dumfries, Kirkcudbright, Wigton, Ayr, Renfrew, and Lanark, and the names of those commemorated are duly indexed,

it will be seen that the volume is one calculated to interest a very wide class of readers beyond those students of general and family history for whose use it is more particularly intended.

The Accounts of the Churchwardens of the Parish of St. Michael, Cornhill, in the City of London, from 1456 to 1608. With Miscellaneous Memoranda contained in the Great Book of Accounts, and Extracts from the Proceedings of the Vestry from 1563 to 1607. Edited from the Originals by W. H. Overall, F.S.A., Librarian to the City of London. Printed with the Consent of the Vestry for Private Circulation by Alfred James Waterlow, Churchwarden from A.D. 1853 to 1855, and from A.D. 1865 to 1868.

It was a lucky day for the parishioners of St. Michael's, Cornhill, when they elected as Churchwarden a gentleman whose interest in the church and parish to which he belongs has induced him, in the true spirit of his great fellow-parishioner John Stow, to print for private circulation this handsome and interesting volume. When we explain that the "Great Book of Accounts" in which the churchwardens have recorded their receipts and payments, commences in 1456, the 35th of Henry VI., and extends (with one hiatus maxime deflendus, namely, between 1476 to 1547) down to 1608, the 6th of James I.; and that the Minutes of Vestry commence in 1563, and are carried down to the present time; and that these interesting records, down to 1608, are here laid before them under the superintendence of the City Librarian, to whom Mr. Waterlow acknowledges his obligations for the Introduction, Notes, and Index, as he does to Mr. Edwin Roffe for the transcripts, we have said enough to convince our antiquarian friends what an amount of curious illustration of civic, parochial, and social history may be gathered from its pages. If the spirit which Mr. Waterlow has shown should induce other intelligent churchwardens of City parishes to follow his example, what a monument to London's glory would be thus built

up.

BOOKS RECEIVED.-Miscellanies by John Addington Symonds, M.D. Selected and edited with an Introductory Memoir by his Son. (Macmillan.) Dr. Symonds, as these Miscellanies clearly show, was obviously an accomplished man, possessed of a singularly versatile and elegant, as well as powerful and scientific intellect, and we know of no memorial which those who enjoyed the advantages of his professional knowledge could more desire to possess than this, for which they are indebted to the filial piety of his son.-The Herald and Genealogist. Edited by John Gough Nichols, F.S.A. Part XXXVIII. Sept. 1871. (Nichols.) Full of new and curious information respecting the Countess of Coventry, Gregory King, the Family of Kerr of Scotland, the Penns, Fairfaxes, &c., this new number of The Herald and Genealogist well maintains the reputation which the learning and accuracy of its editor has secured for it.

MESSRS. STRAHAN & Co. announce, in addition to a Library Edition of the Works of the Poet-Laureate, to be completed in five volumes, "Tennyson's Songs;" being a Collection of Songs and Ballads from his published Works.-"Sundays in the Temple," by C. J. Vaughan, D.D., Master of the Temple.-"History of Religious Thought in England," from the Reformation to the End of Last Century, by the Rev. John Hunt, Author of "An Essay on Pantheism." Vol. II.

THE following is the list of forthcoming works to be published by JOHN RUSSELL SMITH:-"The History and Topography of Harrogate and the Forest of Knaresborough," by William Grainge. "Rustic Sketches, being Rhymes and Skits on Angling and other subjects, with a Glossary of the South Western Dialect," by G. P. R. Pulman. "History of the Church of St. Mildred in the Poultry, London," by Thomas Milbourn, Architect. With engravings. "The Poetical Works of George Sandys." Edited by the Rev. Richard Hooper."Shakesperean Fly-leaves and Jottings," by H. Hall. "Epitaphs in the County of Middlesex," by F. T. Cansick. Vol. II., containing the six remaining cemeteries in St. Pancras parish.

MR. PARKER of Oxford-shall we say the eminent antiquary or the eminent publisher-has been honoured by Her Majesty with the Companionship of the Bath, in recognition doubtless of his services to archæology generally, but mindful at the same time of the light thrown by him on the Architectural History of Windsor Castle.

THE new "Dictionnaire de l'Académie," which is now

being prepared, will consist (says The Athenæum), like the earlier editions, of two volumes, but of much larger size, and with greatly increased contents. It is expected that the first volume, down to the letter E inclusively, will be completed about the middle of 1872, and it will be about three or four years before the second is published. The work is brought out under the direction of M. Patin, who has for his principal collaborateurs, amongst the Academicians M. de Sacy, M. Sandeau, M. Camille Doucet, now relieved from his duties as dramatic censor, and M. Mignet, the author of the "Histoire de la Révolution Française." This new edition will be the seventh edition of this famous dictionary. The first edition was begun in 1639, and published in 1694; the second, of 1718, was almost entirely the work of Dacier; the third, in 1764, of the grammarian D'Olivet, who modified the spelling of 5,000 words in 20,000; Voltaire worked at the fourth; the sixth was published in 1836.

SCOTTISH MANUSCRIPTS.-The late Dr. Robert Chambers bequeathed to the Advocates' Library in Edinburgh a manuscript in ten volumes entitled "The Lyon in Mourning." This curious collection of manuscripts originated in the painstaking enthusiasm of the Right Rev. Robert Forbes, a bishop in the Scottish Episcopal Church, who was settled as a minister of that communion in Leith at the time of the Rebellion in 1745. Falling under suspicion as a Jacobite, dangerous to the Hanoverian

dynasty, he was for a time confined to Edinburgh Castle, and liberated on the restoration of tranquillity in 1746. He then commenced to write the history of the Rebellion. Fixed inside the boards of several yolumes are certain much-prized relics, such as a piece of the prince's garter, a piece of the gown which he wore when obliged to disguise himself in a female dress, a piece of the apronstring which he had worn, received from the hands of Flora Macdonald, and a piece of the waistcoat which was given to him by Macdonald of Kingsburgh. The work is a quarry of authentic information regarding one of the most moving incidents in history.-Globe.

"DONNINGTON CASTLE" is the title of a "Royalist Story," with notes, which is announced for publication by Messrs. Longmans. As the author, Colonel Colomb, is peculiarly versed in everything connected with the history of the time, the work is expected to prove of more than ordinary interest.

STUDENTS and admirers of our provincial dialects should secure a copy of a humorous ballad called "Slaadburn Faar; bein t'adventures o' Jack an Nelly Smith o' Girston, when they gang'd to Slaadburn Faar an back agaan." It is published at Skipton (it probably may be procured from Mr. Russell Smith, who is a diligent colÎector of dialect books), and is one, we believe, of what is intended to be a Complete Collection of Songs, Tales,

&c., in the Dialect of Craven.

SPIRITUALISM.-There are two sides to every question; and to such of our readers as have read the paper by Mr. Crookes in The Quarterly Journal of Science, in which that gentleman details the experiments which in his opinion go to prove the existence of a New Force, we commend a very able article in The Quarterly, "On Spiritualism and its recent Converts," from the pen, it is understood, of one of the most eminent physiologists of his day. It will probably lead them to hesitate before admitting that Mr. Crookes has established his case; and will furnish them with many clever illustrations of the manner in which some of the curious phenomena exhibited by the Spiritualists are produced.

THE first meeting of the Society of Antiquaries for the session of 1871-72 takes place at Somerset House on the evening of November 23rd.

Notices to Correspondents.

CALCUTTENSIS is thanked for his interesting brochure. Where did he find the first of the three names? The two following have been noticed.

ANNE HUTCHINSON.-In our Notices to Correspondents last week, antè p. 343, there was an error which a valued correspondent thus corrects :

"There is not, and never was, any such locality as Winchester co. New York. Mrs. Anne Hutchinson removed in 1642 to a wild region bordering on the Hudson River, a portion of which is now Westchester county, in the State of New York; but I think no one pretends to know the precise neighbourhood where she and her children were murdered by the Indians the following year. If your correspondent desires to learn the pedigree of Mrs. Hutchinson, he will find it in a paper by Col. Chester, published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register for 1866, xx. 355-367.

S. W. (Dublin.)-The Hon. Judge Haliburton (“Sam Slick") died at Gordon House, Isleworth, August 27,

1865.

RANA E PALUDIBUS.-Some particulars of Dr. Robert Butts, Bishop of Ely, will be found in "N. & Q." 2nd S. i. 34; ii. 17, 478; and of his family in 2nd S. iii. 16, 74, 137; iv. 35, 257; viii. 435; ix. 61, 149, 185; x. 106. The bishop's first wife was a daughter of Rev. A. Pycher, Rector of Hawstead.

R. BOND (Tredegar).-The inhabitants of Gloucester must not be considered the only "peculiar people" for retaining the custom of Borough-English. Consult a list of the places in England where it still prevails in "N. & Q.” 1st S. iv. 259. See also the First Report of Real Property Commissioners, 1839, Appendix 98.

ALCMEON (Bath).-The poems inquired after are not separate publications, and will probably be found in the collected works of each writer.

B. T.-Respecting the Iron Musk at Woolwich consult "N. & Q." 3rd S. v. 135, 202.

A. S.-For the saying respecting "Simon and Jude's rain," consult Brand's Popular Antiquities, i. 375, edition 1848.

Sr.'s corrections to Haydn we have sent to the worthy Editor, who is always anxious to secure accuracy in his most useful book.

M. C. R.-Inquire at King's College.

W. E. H.-"The Cake," &c. There must be some error in your quotation that appeared last week (p. 327), as so many correspondents write to say that evidently the wellknown French proverb, "Le jeu ne vaut pas la chandelle," must be the saying referred to.

G. W. CURSLEY (Cambridge).-The "Tom and Jerry" tavern sign is unknown to us. In what locality is it to be found?

A. B. GROSART.-Dame Europa's School is by the Rev. Henry William Pullen, M.A., Minor Canon of Salisbury Cathedral.

DRYASDUST.-Jonas Hanway was neither a knight or
