I may take this opportunity of saying that no play in my volume is more patiently corrected than Troilus and Cressida; and that in a preceding speech by Nestor it confirms a correction by Theobald in the first line-godlike for godly; and by Sir Thomas Hanmer in the last line replies for "retires." Malone printed returns after Pope, which answers the sense very well, but is hardly so probable a misprint. I am sorry to say that I thought otherwise when I published my Shakspeare; and I never can sufficiently regret that this corrected copy of the second folio did not fall into my hands until some years after I had completed that undertaking.

J. PAYNE COLLIER. Nelson Family (Vol. v., p. 176.). — If FRANCISCUS will refer to the pedigree of the Nelson family, in Hoare's History of Modern Wiltshire (Downton Hundred), he will find that William Nelson, who settled at Dunham parva in Norfolk, and who was the great-grandfather of the naval hero, was the son of Edmund Nelson of Scarning, in the same county, and grandson of Thomas of the same place, which Thomas, according to the same pedigree, was the son of another William, who is stated to have been a Nelson of Mandesley, the same family from which the Chuddleworth Nelsons are derived in Burke's account. I have tested the general accuracy of this pedigree, which was, I believe, compiled by Mr. Matcham from the parochial registers, but I much doubt the assumed descent from the Mandesley family, as I find Nelsons inhabiting the neighbourhood of Scarning at a period prior to the supposed migration.

G. A. C.

Maps of Africa (Vol. v., p. 174.). I have been intending for some time to write to you on the same subject as PATERFAMILIE, but the Christian grace of laziness has been too strong for me. PATERFAMILIÆ, however, has aroused me. My case is this: five years ago I commenced a map, for my own use, of the shores of the Mediterranean, and such countries as received Christianity up to the period of the Council of Nice; and I had a hope of eventually being able to carry out the plan suggested by DR. MAITLAND, in his work on the Dark Ages, and an intention of making mysterious marks to indicate the scene of any great persecution, remarkable synod, or other notable event. Well! I got on very well, by the help of Kiepert and Cramer, through Greece, Asia Minor, and Italy. Indeed, I managed to be content with all my sources, as far as Europe was concerned; but when I had advanced as far as North Africa, I came to a dead stop. There really was absolutely no map that I could find that I could trust for the site of Carthage or Alexandria. There were no "N. & Q." when I found myself at a stand-still; but I asked all the friends about me,

and I verily believe that to the majority of those I spoke to it appeared an unreasonable thing for any man to expect a map of the regions I wanted described. There seemed a kind of feeling that when a man had got a map of Caffraria and Egypt, and perhaps knew where Algiers might be, he knew quite as much about Africa as he ought. Can any of your correspondents now help me? Is there no authentic French map of at least some portion of the coast; or is there any map in existence among ourselves that is not palpably a "fancy portrait ?" AJAX.

Muggleton (Vol. v., p. 80.).-The Muggletonian sect probably still exists. I was surprised at finding a shop for the sale of its publications immediately within St. John's Gate, Clerkenwell, about five years ago. Perhaps R. S. may think it worth while to look whether the same trade be still carried on there. J. C. R.

Passage in Hamlet (Vol. v., p. 169.). — I have just read A. E. B.'s Notes on Shakspeare, No. II. His long criticism, ending in his own suggestion of a new reading of the passage in Hamlet, does not convince me that he has found the true reading yet. I suggest the following:

"The dram of base

Doth all the noble substance often dull,
To his own scandal."

This reading of mine only makes it necessary to substitute the letters n and ll, for a and o, in the quarto of 1605.

Dull is a favourite word of Shakspeare's; and surely it makes at least as good sense as any of the other readings. It is questionable whether the lines are Shakspeare's; for the whole passage, from "This heavy-headed revel," to "To his own scandal," is omitted in the first and second folios, and also in the first known quarto of "1603."

To prove how easy it is for printers, or copiers from original manuscripts of authors, to make mistakes, I will call your attention to a serious blunder in the first edition of Ben Jonson's verses addressed to the Earl of Somerset, which are in the Athenæum of Feb. 21st. The twenty-first and twenty-second lines are thus printed:

"So in theyr number may you neuer see Mortality, till you a mortall be." Ben wrote "immortall."

H. F.

Theoloneum (Vol. v., p. 105.).—Theoloneum is a toll, i. e. the payment made in markets and fairs for goods bought and sold. It was the property of the lord to whom the fair or market belonged by patent from the crown.

Henry III., by letters patent, dated at Windsor 15th May, in the thirty-first year of his reign, grants to the abbot, &c. of Fecamp, the manors of

Cheltenham and Slaughter, &c. &c. &c. in exchange for the villes of Winchelsea and Rye, which had been granted to the said abbot, &c. by Edward the Confessor; to hold them

"adeo libera et quieta sicut antea tenuerunt Winchelsee et la Rye ratione donationis eis facte a felicis memorie sancto Adwardo, et concessionum ac confirmationum postmodum abitarum a Willelmo et Henrico Regibus Anglie de terra de Staniges cum omnibus apendiciis suis. Inter que reputabantur Winchelsee et la Rye. In cujus regis Willelmi carta continebantur hujusmodi libertates; videlicet, quod predicti abbas et monachi Phiscanenses habeant terram de

Staniges, cum omnibus omnino apendiciis suis et cum omnibus legibus, libertatibus, liberis consuetudinibus quietanciis placitis, querelis, et causis que sunt vel fore possunt, absque ulla inquietudine et diminutione cujuslibet secularis vel judiciaria potestatis sicut res ad Phiscum dominicum pertinentes et quod predicta terra cum omnibus apendiciis suis libera sit et quieta ab omni consuetudine terrene vitutis et ab omni dominacione et subjeccione Baro

ser

num et principum et omnium aliorum. Et quod prefati abbas et Monachi Phiscanenses et eorum ministri habeant omnem regiam libertatem et consuetudinem et omnem justiciam suam de omnibus rebus et negociis que in terra sua evenient vel poterunt evenire, nec aliquis nisi per eos se inde intromittat. Quia hoc totum regale beneficium est et ab omni servitute quietum. Et quod si aliquis quicquam contra hujusmodi concessionem presumat, ad phiscum dominicum coactus auri libras centum persolvat."

I have ventured to subjoin this recital from the charter of William, thinking that it may be acceptable to your querist, as fully explanatory of the transaction to which his question refers.

LAMBERT A. LARKING.

Donkey (Vol. v., pp. 78. 165.).—In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, v. 16954., we have"Ther gan our hoste to jape and to play,

And sayde: sires what? Dun is in the mire." There is also an old proverbial simile:

"As dull as Dun in the mire."

It is supposed that Dun was a nickname applied to the ass from his colour, in the same way as Burnell, in the Chester Whitsun Playes, MS. Harl. 2013., and Russell applied to the fox, Canterbury Tales, v. 15340.

As to the termination key, it is probably (as in monkey, jockey, which are the only words of similar formation which I can call to mind at present) the same as kin, which has the force of a diminutive in words like lambkin, mannikin, &c. JUVENIS.

Sir Samuel Garth (Vol. v., p. 151.).—I believe it will be found difficult to find the place of this celebrated physician's birth. In the fourth volume of Mr. Surtees' History of the County of Durham, pp. 26, 27., there is an interesting account of him, to which is added a pedigree of his family. Surtees, in a note, says:

"Cha. Bush, of Harmondsworth, Middx. Res on being denied his Degree of A. B. in College from Party. .. A Clk. of the Record Off, in the Tower, 1725. April 27, 1726, he published proposals for printing by Subsr. A lott of Charters and Letters Patent, and other Instruments concerning the Creation and Investiture of the eldest sons of the Ks of Engl. as Princes of Wales, D. of Cornwall & E. of Chester & Flint, together with several Extracts out of the Parl. Rolls relating to the Honor, Dignity, & Estate of the P. of Wales, from the time of Edward first, P. of Wales (afterwards K. E. 2) to the time of E. 4. inclusive, faithfully collated from the Records of the Tower by C. B. one of the Clks. of the Record Off. in the T. &. late Fell. of K. C. C.

"He was taken into the Ordnance Office to assist in methodising the Papers belonging to it, and was after Sec. to the Board of Ordnance."

It would seem Mr. Bush's proposals did not removal to an important government office premeet with a favourable reception, or perhaps his vented his fulfilling his intentions. It is to be hoped he returned his subscriptions (if any).

J. H. L.

following extract, if not a complete answer to the Litera scripta manet (Vol. v., p. 200.). — The query on Litera scripta manet, is a curious instance of the early use of that maxim, and I transcribe it with pleasure as a specimen of one of the best informed and most interesting of our medieval prose writers. I rely, as to orthography and punctuation, on Joseph Ames:

"Considering that wordes ben perisshyng, wayne, and forgateful, and wrytynes duelle and abide permanent, as I rede, Vox audita perit, litera scripta manet. Thise thinges have caused that the faites and deeds of auncient men ben sette by declaracion in fair and aourned volumes, to thende that science and artes, lerned and founden, of thinges passed might be had in perpetuel memorye and remembraunce," &c.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

The Athenæum of Saturday the 21st February announces that Sir F. Madden has secured for the British

Museum the celebrated " Bedford Missal," and several other beautiful MSS., by the wise expenditure of three thousand pounds. The other MSS., not described by The Athenæum, are, we believe, the Breviary of Isabella of Spain, presented to her by Francisco de Rojas in 1497, on the occasion of the double marriage of her children, Don Juan and Doña Juana, to Margaret of Austria and Philip the Fair, which sold at Mr. Hurd's sale in 1832 for 520l.; the Hours of Juana of Castile, wife of Philip the Fair, formerly in Hanrott's library; the Hours of Francis I., which sold in Sir Mark Masterman Sykes's sale, 1824, for 1631. 16s.; the Hours of François d'Inteville, Bishop of Auxerre, executed in 1525, formerly in Beckford's collection; another volume of Hours of the sixteenth century, and a fine copy, in two large vols. folio, of the French translation of Petrus Comestor's Historia Scholastica, by Guiart des Molins, completed in 1294. While we agree with our cotemporary in our approval of this purchase, we cannot help adding to that approval a hope that neither the trustees nor the treasury will make this expenditure an excuse for not enabling the keeper of the MSS. to make extensive purchases at the sales of valuable historical collections which are expected to take place in the course of the present year.

At a general meeting of the Percy Society held last Thursday week, the dissolution of the Society was determined on; and the meeting came to the very proper resolution of not selling the stock of books in hand, which would have had the effect of depreciating the market-value of the Society's publications, but of distributing them among the existing members. It is proposed, we believe, to form a new Society on a somewhat similar plan; but which is to have for its object the reprinting, without abridgment or omission, of such rare but well chosen tracts by Greene, Nash Breton, Taylor the Water Poet, &c. as afford valuable illustration of manners, or are interesting in any other point of view.

We have received from Messrs. Rivington a new volume containing Eight Essays on Various Subjects, by the Rev. S. R. Maitland, D. D. The pages of "N. & Q." have been so frequently enriched by contributions from the able pen of the writer of these Essays, and he has in the work in question spoken so kindly of this journal, that we feel it will be more respectful to one who does not need our praise which might under these circumstances be attributed to interested motives- if we limit our notice of the subject of the volume to an enumeration of the titles of the essays. They are as follows: I. On the Mystical Interpretation of Scripture; II. Sacred Art No. 1. Music; III. Sacred Art - No. 2. Painting; IV. Matter of Fact; V. The Fulness of the Gentiles; VI. The Waldenses and Albigenses; VII. Perrin's When History of the Vaudois; VIII. The Lollards. we add that to these are appended the following notes: -A. Cowper's Nightcap; B. Vauxhall; C. The School of Declamation; D. On Political Prophecies; E. The "Mirabilis Liber" and "Petrus de Bardis; F. Extracts from Lollard Prophecies: we think we have shown all who know the learning, honesty of purpose, strong common sense, and racy humour of the Essayist, that the book is one to be looked after, and to be looked at.

A NEW GENERAL BIOGRA

PHICAL DICTIONARY. Projected and partly arranged by the late Rev. HUGH JAMES ROSE, B. D., Principal of King's College, London.

This work is intended to supply a deficiency in our literature which has existed since the completion of Mr. Chalmers's Biographical Dictionary, in 1817. That publication, now nearly obsolete, contained less than 9000 names, while the present Work contains more than 20,000. It has been most carefully edited and compiled by experienced writers, who have availed themselves of the vast body of materials which domestic and foreign literature has of late years supplied. The great variety and extensive range of its contents, far exceeding those of any other modern biographical publication in our language, must render it a very important addition to every public and private Library, both as a work of reference, and a torehouse of information and amusement for all classes of readers.
