When Thackeray was slowly progressing in the walks of literature, Hayward gave him a helping push by a kindly article in the Edinburgh (January 1848) on the Irish Sketch-Book, the Journey from Cornhill to Cairo, and the earlier numbers of Vanity Fair, and prophesied that Thackeray would soon become one of the acknowledged heads of novel-writing in England. To have aided Carlyle while he was in poverty, and to have befriended Thackeray while he was comparatively unknown, are merits in Mr. Hayward's literary career which may far outweigh a few faults.

I venture to solicit your good offices in relation to the following circumstances:--About six weeks or two months ago, I was favoured by a communication from a gentleman, whose letter I have unfortunately mislaid, and whose to place at my disposal certain published refername I cannot recall, but who kindly offered for a biography of the late Lord Lytton, which ences to my father, collected by him as materials he had abandoned on hearing that I was myself engaged upon the same task. correspondent's letter has deprived me of the The loss of my means of privately communicating to him my thanks for his obliging offer, and my desire to hear from him again on the subject of it. If, therefore, you will be so good as to accord to this expression of my wishes a place in the ACADEMY, the service will be gratefully appre The duty of the English-speaking public all over the world towards this great national work is (1) to buy it, in order to enable the Clarendon Press Delegates to bear the heavy cost of its production, which is far greater than was at first estimated-unless ten thousand copies of each part can be sold, it is doubtful whether the work can be carried on on the scale on which it has been started; (2) to complete it (a) by a certain number of folk helping, as subeditors, to arrange each some part of the enormous mass of slips sent in for the work, and to fill up the gaps which occur in the material-the slips sent in are capricious: for "the army "not one extract was sent in, and I and other searchers have had to hunt up the slips required for it; (b) by noting fresh words and meanings not in the Dictionary, and earlier instances of those which are there. ... For the last few weeks I have kept back the "a-ant" slips I have by chance collected. These give only five words not in part i. of the Dictionary :-"abusant," adj. ("in tearmes abusant," circ. 1630, A Scottish Pusquil, p. 6); "accoucheurship," n. ("The resident appointments consist of Five House Physiciancies one Accoucheurship," 1883, Daily News, September 18, p. 1, col. 7); "amorce," n., toy percussion-cap ("purchased a dozen boxes of amores... These toy pistol caps. were made of a very dangerous explosive," 1883, Birminghan Weekly Post, December 15, p. 7, col. 5); "Anglo-Saxonising," adj. ("that great AngloSaxonising amalgamating mill, the United States," 1883, Lord Lorne, in Pall Mall Gazette, November 14, p. 6, col. 2); “ amalgamationist, ... an advocate of marriages of negroes with whites (You are an amalgamationist!' cried she. I told her that the party term was new to me," 1838, Harriet Martineau, Western Travel, i. 299. Of earlier instances, I have "accidious," slothful, from the Pore Caitiff, before 1400, against the Dictionary's "1731, Bailey's Dictionary; admitting," n., 1557, against the Dictionary's 1598; "adverse," n., an adversary, opponent, in 1593, against the Dictionary's 1550; "addressor," the signer of an address, in 162, against Dictionary's 1690; "aghastness,' 1870, against Dictionary's 1881. Of slightly differing senses I have, perhaps, one or two instances; 1883, an aldine dolphin spouts water into a basin; "the alphabetical gunboats sent out to China," &c.; but nothing important. My slips are mere chance ones, as I have said; but if folk will only collect deliberately, and send their slips to the editor, Dr. Murray, Mill Hill, N.W., I have no doubt that they will enable a very valuable Appendix to the Dictionary to be made. Such a work can never be entirely complete. I can only express my surprise how near completeness part i. is-nineten out of my thirty-three slips were anticipad in the Dictionary-and I heartily congratulate Dr. Murray and the Philological Society on the result.

W. HOUGHTON. THE MOON AND THE HARE. 66 London: Feb. 4, 1884. After Preston Rectory, Wellington, Salop: Jan. 15, 1881. I think there is some evidence to show that our English word pelican was not always restricted in its use to denote the water-bird of that name. The old story about the pelican feeding its young with its own blood is not a classical one, as generally believed; Greek and Latin classical writers make no mention of the myth, neither is the pelican (water-bird) the original bird of the story-which seems to have originated in Egypt-but the vulture. Horapollo (i., cap. 11) says that a vulture symbolises a compassionate person, because during the 120 days of its nurture of its offspring, if food cannot be had, it opens its own thigh and permits the young ones to partake of the blood, so that they may not perish from want. That the vulture was considered a very affectionate bird is an idea shared by the Hebrews, who called it râchâm, "the affectionate bird;" among classical authors the love of the vulture for its young was proverbial. The ecclesiastical fathers, in their annotations on the Scriptures, transferred the story from the vulture to the pelican, unless under the word Teλerav, pellicanus, they meant the vulture. But oddly enough, and concurrently with the idea of the pelican being the bird of the myth, appears the actual representation of a bird feeding its young ones with its blood in architectural church ornaments, on tombstones, and in old books of emblems; and the bird is always, I believe, not a pelican, but a vulture or eagle. In an old book of emblems, entitled A Choice of Emblems and other Devices, by Geffery Whitney, 1586, there is a woodcut of a vulture or eagle piercing her breast with her hooked beak, in a nest surrounded by her young ones, whose mouths are open to receive the flowing blood. Underneath are the following lines:"The pellican, for to revive her young, Doth pierce her breast, and give them of her tarch calls "the face in the Moon" and we blood. Then searche your breste," &c. 'the life-rendering pellican' 66 Mr. Brown's letter on Moon and Hare myths is interesting, as it shows just the places where the untutored anthropologist is compelled to part company from the true scholar. observing that the connexion between the Moon and the Hare is familiar to mythologists," Mr. Brown says, "we may safely conclude with Gubernatis that the mythical Hare is undoubtedly the Moon." Distinguo, says the anthropologist. Persons who are connected are not necessarily identical-Lewis is not Allenby. In the myths referred to by Mr. Brown, the story commonly ends in the Moon striking the Hare and inflicting on him his hare-lip, or in the Hare being transported to the Moon, or in someone marking the Moon's face with the figure of a hare. Now surely we may distinguish thus:-When the Moon marks the Hare it is in "origin of death" myths. The Moon, having to tell men that they, like her, are reborn after apparent death, sends a swift beast as a messenger. But the swift beast loiters, or forgets: le lièvre perd la mémoire en courant. The Moon hits him on the face, and hence the hare-lip. But how do we learn that the Moon is the Hare? In the other myths, Aztec, Indian, and what not, the object is to account for what Plu"the Man in the Moon." Apparently, many races have recognised a Hare where we see a Man; the spots in the Moon are just as like one as the other. We have a Sabbatical story to explain how the Man got into the Moon, and Aztecs and Indians have a story to explain how the Hare got into the Moon. But what one objects to is the inference that "the mythical Hare is the Moon." Another point. Mythologists of Mr. Brown's school are apt to differ in their interpretations. Mr. Brown recognises in Aeetes, Lunus (Myth. of Kirké, p. 52), a male Moon. Sir George Cox goes in for something connected with the "motion of the air" (Mythol. Ar. ii. 150). Mr. Brown's Medea is the Moon, like his Hare. Sir George's Medea, at least in one passage, appears to be the Dawn. Now, the Great Hare of all mythic Hares is Michaboz, the Algonquin Hare hero, whose mantle, I suspect, has fallen on Ole Brer Rabbit. Well, this Great Hare ought to be the Moon, I presume; but Dr. Brinton, both in his Myths of the New World and his American Hero Myths, says that the Great Hare is the Dawn, or the Light. Moreover, he gives philological reasons for this opinion. At home we know Hares best (mythologically) as the animals into which witches prefer to turn themselves. This is a long letter, but perhaps I have made it clear that persons" connected" are not necessarily identical; while it must be admitted that wholly different explanations of the same myths-explanations equally facile and plausible-are often put forward by mythologists of the prevailing school. But while one scholar PS.-I have not replied to Mr. Taylor's in- But A NEW DEPARTURE IN CRITICISM. London: Feb. 5, 1884. Your contemporary the Spectator is a journal which I have always looked upon with the greatest respect. Its high moral fervour is well known, as well as its freedom from religious bias; but I think the world knows little of its wonderful catholicity in matters of literary criticism, of which I have just furnished the Standard with a remarkable illustration. In case your readers have not seen my letter, I should explain that the facts are as follow:On December 15 last, a novel from my penThrough the Stage Door-was reviewed in the Spectator, not merely adversely, but in terms of strong abuse; described as "trashy," altogether "repulsive," and such a book as was a discredit to the sex of its author. Last Saturday, February 2, the same novel was again reviewed in the Spectator, in terms of cordial praise; described as a lively and pleasant story, and warmly recommended to the reader as, above all, "sound and wholesome." Now, when all is said and done, nothing can be more kindly meant than this method of reviewing, which enables an editor to box your ears with the one hand and pat your cheek with the other. "Miss Jay," he cries, "is a loose and degraded scribbler; but "-here I fancy I can see his oracular smile as he adds, "audi alteram partem"! The method, however, is so new that it is at first a little bewildering To make it quite perfect, the two opinions ought to be printed, not with an interval of several weeks, during which the author is kept in agony, but in the same number.

Many of the Latin words are of a rustic or Low-Latin type, and the spellings are such that not even Ducange's Dictionary will always help. Again, the scribe not unfrequently misspells words, or adopts a method of his And, when all the elements of uncertainty are taken into account, the student he can get in order to decipher the sense, for soon discovers that he will need all the help own. the gloss is sometimes as obscure as the word which it is supposed to explain. There are cases in which the Latin word explains the English one; and there are also cases in which it is the English word which explains the Latin one, as the scribe intended that it should. On the very first page we find amsanti glossed by undique scanti, which is not very helpful at a first glance; and, again, before we can understand what is meant by axungia, glossed rysil, it is necessary to be aware that rysil is the Old-English word for fat or grease, unless, indeed, one happens to know the sense of axungia (used by Pliny) without looking it out in Lewis and Short. It is, moreover, extremely easy to be misled. Thus, on p. 2, we find aquilae: segnas. It might be thought, at first, that aquilae means eagles; but the gloss shows that it means not the birds, but the famous Roman ensigns that so often led the soldiers to victory. On p. 22 we find rumex: edroc, whence it might be thought that edroc means a dock (plant); but, as Mr. Sweet proves at p. xi. of his Introduction, rumex is miswritten for rumen by confusion with the preceding plainer by the following gloss in Wright's word remex; and the English edroc is made Vocabularies (i. 54)-viz., "Ruminatio, ciwung The Epinal Glossary, Latin and Old English, THE student of philology will hail with the We have no space here to show how the editor, in his patient and masterly treatment of the whole subject, explains the way in which the alphabetical glossaries were compiled, how certain glosses came to be repeated, what books were the sources of them, and how certain class-glossaries must have been already in existence before they were compiled. By class-glossaries we are to understand glossaries in which "names of beasts, birds, fishes, minerals, and other natural objects, were collected in separate groups." Such a glossary is the well-known Elfrie's Glossary, printed by Somner and reprinted by Wright. Mr. Sweet next considers in detail "the structure and relation of the various texts," and minutely discusses the various readings and occasional errors. His sum "Various independent glossaries were compiled from these sources, at first non-alphabetical. Two or more of them were afterwards fused together in various later digests, a-order being often made into ab-order.

It is unfortunate that this group of seven is much too wide. With the pole where it is at present, the south group covers nearly 120 degrees, instead of 90, as it should do; and this compels us to a certain indefiniteness in any hypothesis on the subject. But, looking at the position of the stars in a rough way, the Bear nearly covered the "bird of the south palace," then seen in the south; and Yau's astronomers marked out "bird" (Cor PHILOLOGICAL SOCIETY.-(Friday, Feb. 1.)
