GENTLEMAN’S MAGAZINE,

JULY—DECEMBER, 1858.

PRINTED BY MESSES. PARKER, CORNMAREET, OXFORD

PREFACE.

In reviewing the events of the past year we cannot avoid being
struck with their magnitude and importance, affecting as they do
nearly one-half of the whole human race. In the course of the
last twelve months we have scen China, with its three hundred
millions of people, opened to modern civilization and the blessings
of Christianity. Japan, hitherto secluded from the rest of the
world, is also found entering into a treaty with this country, and
taking the first step towards whut we hope may be a better ac-
quaintance. The Old world and the New have been connected so
as to bring them within speaking distance, and the time is pro-
bably not far off when a message may be trunsmitted from Eng-
land to any part of the globe, and an answer returned within a few
minutes. In India we have, by the blessing of God, been able to
crush one of the greatest rebellions that history cun relate; and in
none of our own records, glorious us they are, cun nobler deeds of
chivalrous bravery or Christian endurance be shewn, than in the
deeds of our noble countrymen in the East. During the same
time we have beheld the dissolution of that company of merchant
adventurers, whose history is without parallel in ancient or mo-
dern times; and the transfer of their rule over a hundred and
fifty millions of people to her Majesty, whose direct sovereignty
has been acknowledged by a corresponding change of title.

At home, we have witnessed one of those quiet events which will
tend greatly to the improvement of the education of our middle
and upper classes, and are every day seeing changes made that
tend to ameliorate the condition of the poor and the ignorant.
For the only important additions to our literature we are indebted
to our oldest seat of Icarning, Oxford; but we have ulsu had to

record the important series of works now in course of publication
by direction of the Master of the Rolls, and hope shortly to see
full materials for a complete History of the Country. Altogether
the state of things is full of hope; the changes that have been
made, and that are still in progress, are of that quiet, orderly
nature, that we have no reason to fear the result. That this state
of things may long continue, is the devout wish of

in this case, a fifth garb added in the shape of a surcoat of
some light material. The evidences of this large supply
of military vestments cannot be deduced from any single
monument, because the garments, overlying one another,
do not permit us to see their succession. But from a com-
parison of scattered testimonies, we arrive at the fact. The
undercoat of quilting is seen in many examples: among
others, in those forming our illustrations, Nos. 7 (vol. cciv.
P. 590), 9 (ib., p. 592), 19 and 27. That a complete hauberk
of chain-mail was (in some cases, at least) worn underneath
an arming of “ plates,” is shewn by the account of Froissart,
where a knight, while taking off his armour, hears of an
attack by the French, and hastens to join in the fray clad
in his hauberk only :—“‘ Messire Gautier Huet ouit ces
nouvelles ainsi que on lui déchaussoit ses chausses d’acier,
et étoit ja désarmé & moiti€ ; il eut si grand coite, et si
frétilleusement monta 4 cheval, qu’il n’étoit vétu que d’une
seule cotte de fer, et n’eut mie loisir de prendre ses plates ;
mais, la targe au col et la lance au poing, s’en vint en cel
état a Pescarmouche'.”” The pourpoint interposed between
the iron armour and the surcoat is seen in the illustration,
No. 19; and other examples are furnished by Stothard’s
plates 55, 59, 60 and 66. This quadruple arming is clearly
marked in the well-known passage of Chaucer’s ‘‘Tale of
Sir Thopas;” where we have the two quilted garments, the
haubergeon (of chain-mail), and the ‘“hauberk of plate.”
The knight, we are told, put on—
“Next his shert an haketon,
And over that an habergeon,
For percing" of his herte;
“ And over that a fin hauberk,
‘Was all ywrought of Jewes werk,
Ful strong it was of plate ;
And over that his cote-armoure,
As white as is the lily floure,
In which he wold debate.” —Verse 24, seq.

A passage of “ Richard Coer-de-Lion” affords a similar
illustration :—
“ Suche a stroke the knight hym lente,
That Richard's feet out of his styropes wente,

For plate, ne for acketton,
For hauberk, ne for gambeson,

Arms, Armour, and Military Usages

18 Arms, Armour, and Military Usages (July,

de Bohun, in 1322, names “un hauberjoun qe est apele
Bolioun, et i. peire des plates covertes de vert velvet*,” &.
Bolioun appears to mean, of the manufacture of Bologna;
as, in the preceding extract, we have haubergeons of
Lombardy ; Italy being early celebrated for the fabrication
of armour. Jn the Will of Eleanor Bohun, Duchess of
Gloucester, in 1399, occurs :—“ Un habergeon ove un crois
de latoun merchie sur le pis encontre le cuer, quele feust
a mon seignour son piere.” (Royal Wills, p.181.) This
custom, of placing some sacred symbol on that part of the
armour which covered the heart, continued throughout the
next two centuries: and, indeed, till the disuse of armour
altogether. In the sixteenth century, breastplates are not
unfrequently found having an elaborate engraving of the
Crucifixion in this place.

The haubergeon is mentioned by Chaucer in several
passages. In the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales we
are told of the Knight, that

“Of fustyan he wered a gepoun,
Alle bysmoterud with his haburgeoun.”—Line 75.
In the “ Knight’s Tale” of the Tournament we learn that,
among the companions of Palamon,—

“Som wol ben armed in an haburgoun,
In a bright brest plate and a gypoun.”— Line 2,121.

The Knight, in the “Tale of Sir Thopas,” wore
“ Next his schert an aketoun,
And over that an haberjoun.”— Page 318,
To which last, as we have seen, was added a defence of
plate’.

Among the Stores of the Castle of Dover in 1361, we
find “ habrejons et autres hernous de maile *.”

Such armour for the breast as in the writings of the pe-
riod is described under the name plate or plates, has been
already pretty fully examined*; for, in a subject somewhat
perplexed, it seemed not desirable to add to the difficulty
by producing the evidences in two separate places. Ix-
amples of the larger breastplate will be found in our wood-
cuts, Nos. 10 and 24; while of the smaller kind (the piéce
d’acier), illustrations are given in the figures annexed, from

22 Sketch of the Life of Walter de Merton. (July,

been known as Manswm Si Joannis. It was to embrace a larger
scope of charity,—the support of ministers of the altar, “ad

tem et imbecillitatem vergentium,” as well as of the poor travellers,
The brethren of the hospital were to hold of him and his heirs,
tanquam patroni, in alms; subject only to the maintenance of
two wax lights at St. Mary’s altar in Basingstoke Church, which
lights his parents had habitually offered there.

‘There is no mention of a chapel attached to the hospital. Indeed,
the institution must have been on the very humblest scale, com-
mencing with no endowment but that of a single house, and de~
pendent on the voluntary services of brethren, and on the alms of
the neighbours. But it seems to have become at once an object of
gene regard amongst his fellow-townsmen, for the deeds about
this time are numerous which vet small parcels of land to the
brethren and sisters of St. John. We may presume that the dona-
tions of other than real property were still more frequent.

To continue the history of this hospital. The founder did not
spare his growing interest in high quarters to advance his cherished
undertaking. In the 87th Hen. itt, June 25, 1253, the king at
Suwick (qy. Southwick) grants to the master and brethren to have
a chantry in the hospital chapel; and auly'8; 1253, the founder
got a confirmation of his last endowment from the king at Ports-
mouth. In 1262 (July 8), the king at Canterbury, surrounded by
his chief statesmen, in a deed commencing with an inflated pream-
ble on the duty of keeping the clergy from poverty, makes the
hospital of St.John a royal foundation for the support of needy
clergy, “et pauperum ibidem infirmantium.” The fruits of this
royal patronage were the enjoyment of a free a and freedom
from all secular service. The founder is here styled elericus, and
Samiliaris noster, and also canonicus Wellensis.

In 1268, the freedom of the chapel, of its services and oblations,
was secured by the highest ecclesiastical authority. The deed of
Cardinal Ottobon, the papal legate, securing this freedom, is in good
preservation in the exchequer, in duplicate, with perfect seal.

‘The future history of this hospital belongs rather to that of the
college than of the founder of Merton. We must now return to
his personal history.

By the Inquisition above named we learn that the founder was
in boly orders in 1238. In 1249, in a grant of free-warren within
the demesne lands of Malden, adjoining the parish of Merton, he
is styled by the king eleriens noster, which probably means either
that he was a chaplain, or that he practised in the king’s courts.
He must by this time either have had good preferment, or the
more profitable employment! of a canonist, or both, as he declares

‘ See Registrwm Ant. Brevium, in Bibl. Cotton. f.199. Walter is mentioned as
thonaterivm Cancellara, in which capacity he framed some useful writs. The
fees of this oifice were considerable; e.g. Anno I, Jounnis, one mark of gold for

moted to the see of Orkney,

With an early announcement from the columns of the Mercurius Cale-
donius of a cpuniire foot-race, we must bring our extracts to a conclu-
sion. We there find notice duly given of —

“a foot-race to bo ran by 12 brewster wives, all of them in a condition which makes

‘Musselburgh to the Cannon-cross for twelve pair of lamb’s harrigals.”—(p. 273.)

In taking our leave of Mr, Chambers’s laborious and diversified compila-
tion, our only care must be not to omit expressing somewhat of surprise
that among his thousand tales and narratives of the startling and the hor-
rible, he has omitted to include the curious story of Alexander (better known
as Sawney) Bean and his cannibal family. In interest it may certainly vie
with most of his extracts, and its truthfulness, we believe we are quite cor+
tect in saying, has never been made matter of dispute.

SLEEPY NIGHTSHADE, KING DUNCAN, AND THE DANES.

Tw the reign of Duncan, king of Scotland, subsequently murdered by
Macbeth, the Norwegians under Sueno, or Sweyn, brother of Canute, one
of England's Danish kings, are reported by the Scottish historians to
have invaded Scotland, and to have laid siege to Perth, which the Scots
were on the point of surrendering. While a treaty was in

327, tn the aig of Tobe of Eltham, 1334, and of Sir
John, Tfield (all three figured by Stothard); and again, in
the Pem! monument (Hollis, pt. 5), the last two of
similar date to the sculpture of John of Eltham. The
garment appears to have been of a rich character: its
colour is brilliant in the painted monuments (as that of
Ingham; Stothard, Ps 66): gold roundels or rosettes
stud the surface, and its border, ent into escallops and
trefoils, is ornamented with a fringe. It does not seem
to haye been in fayour among the German knights: the
extensive series of monuments given by Hefner is without
a single example.

Last of his body-garments, the knight donned the
Suncoar. We may consider this in relation
to its form, its material, and its decoration.
The form changed greatly as the cael)
rolled on. But these changes do not a
to have been merely the caprice of
they resulted from the altered tactics of the
time. When, in the early part of the cen-
ys the knights and men-at-arms descended

from their coursers to fight on foot, the long
surcoats of the old fashion were found to be
a serious impediment to their free action.

The garment, therefore, underwent a clip-
ping in front, whieh produced the Uneven

mrcoat here seen (woodent, No. 19). The
date of this monument is about 1830. The

with rerebraces of banded-mail (woodeut, No. 5, vel. cciv.
p. 465); plate rerebraces, with the fore-arm of pourpoin-
terie (Stothard, pl. 61); and brassards of plate, with a
short sleeve of chain-mail (Stothard, pl. 66). To record all
the yaricties of combination would fill a volume—and a

ed oar one,
defences of plate alone, appear about 1325, but do
not become general till the second half of the century.
Early examples are offered by the statue of De Bohun
(Hollis, pt. 4) and the bas-relief of De Valence (Stothard,
pl. 49). See also the Pembridge figure, ¢. 1330 (Hollis,
t. 5); that of Ifield, c. 1835 (Stothard, pl. 59); of the
unt of Alencon, 1346 (Guilhermy, p. 278); and our
woodcuts, Nos. 12, 13, 2 (vol. cciv. p. 11), 21, 33 and 26,
of the years 1360, 1368, 1376, 1380, 1393 and 1400.
examining the various monuments cited above, it will
have been remarked that the shoulder, the elbow, and the
-hand have especial defences: to these it is necessary that —
the archeological student should pay some little attention.

‘The epaulettes are chiefly discs, or articulated, or single
triangular plates. The dises appear from about 1320 to
1350, taking the forms of plain roundels, rosettes, shells
or lion masks. They are sometimes shewn as fastened
with a lace, but generally the mode of attachment is not
disclosed. All the varieties of disc will be found in the
following monuments:—De Valence, 1323 (Stothard, pl.
49); Fitzralph, 1325 (Waller, pt. 13); the figure from
Sloane MS., 846 (our woodcut, No. 17); Daubernoun,
1327 (Boutell, p. 41); De Creke and Northwood, c. 1330
(woodcuts, Nos, 19 and 23); Ifield, 1334 (Stothard, pl.
59); the statue of an Italian knight, 1335, here given;
the effigy at Sandwich, ¢. 1340 (woodcut, No. 9, vol. eciv,
p. 592); Ingham, 1343 (Sto’ , pl. 66); Giffard *, 1348
(Trans. of Essex Archwol. Soc., vol. i.); Orlamiinde, 1360,
and Sachsenhausen, 1370 (Hefner, pls. 146 and 133).

The knightly statue at Clehongre, Herefordshire, c. 1330,
offers a curious variety in the arrangement of the dise,
which is there placed in jront of the arm, while at the
back of the shoulder is fixed an ailette (Hollis, pt. 5).

(To be continued.)

“ This curious brass shews the shell form of epaulette.

So much for the original “‘ Domesday.” The contents of the supple-

of mere reference, and present little for citation. Mr. Morgan, however,

here given (No. "98), the roundels are still congldaale

be an endless task.

The Gauntlets of the fourteenth century exhibit a similar
progress to the rest of the armour, beginning in chain-mail
and ending in plate, offering as they advance various
experimental examples in scale-work, stud-work, splint-
work and other fabrics. In the early years of the century
we find the old chain-mail glove of the preceding age still

Maltby, Lincolnshire, is the sculptured effigy of an un-
known knight, of the early part of this century, in which
the ailettes are fixed at the sédes of the shoulders, as in the
example at Basle, figured by Hefner, pt. 2, pl. 41. This
is the only instance of such an arrangement hitherto
noticed in our own Set
The “ Leg- 2 knights, like the arm defences,
made a steady progress towards a complete equipment of
plate; and in the transit exhibits a similar variety of ex-
perimental ents, in which the old fabrics of chain-
sei scale-work, pourpointerie, splints and stud-work are
of frequent appearance. In the first quarter of the pene
the mixed fal are found; in the second quarter the
aetth of plate is attained ; and in the second half of the
arming of plate becomes general.
“errhe chain-mail chausses of the thirteenth century are
frequent in the carly years of this period, and of occasional
occurrence till the middle of it. Examples are afforded
the effigies of Septvans, 1306 (Waller, pt. 9); of De Ryther,

DOCUMENTS ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE SKETCH OF WALTER
DE MERTON’S LIFE.

Insreap of proceeding with the third chapter of the sketch of
this renowned prelate’s life, it is proposed to exhibit to the reader
in this month’s number three documents :—

1, An abstract of his will, with extracts from the executors’ accounts.

2. The founder’s character, as described in the Hexameters of
Thomas Wykes, a Canon of Osney, and chronicler of his own
times, who must frequently have seen the founder during his
residences in Oxford with the court.

8. A pedigree, shewing the issue of the founder’s sisters, and the
relationship to him of many of his legatees, and of several of
the early members of the college.

WILL OF WALTER DE MERTON,
(Printed in extenso by Kilner, Suppl, p. 82.)

This document is very interesting, not only from its antiquity,
importance of the testator, and the great amount of property con-
veyed, but from the picture which it gives of the testator’s mind,
especially of its tenderness, piety, and comprehensiveness, ex-
hibited in his detailed consideration of the claims of his kindred,
of his dependents, of the places whence his wealth accrued, and of
his eleemosynary children.

The will is found in Abp. Peckham’s Register, fo. 103. 3.

Executed at Merton, March, 1275-6.

Codicil added, Oct., 1277.

Final audit of executors’ account, May, 1282,

The Compotus Executorum and the Petitiones super Executoribus are
still extant with the will, and are interesting documents.

* These probably were needed on account of the provision in the will that the residue
should be “ad salutem anime.” The codicil relieved the executors of this de-
sate duty by giving the residue to the college.

numerons than they are. Castell Wandsbrought,” we observe, in vol, i.
p. 88, he is inclined to identity with either the ancient camp of Vandlebury,
near Cambridge, or Wanborough in Wiltshire, Tt xeema, however, not
unlikely that a more northern locality is meant; and we would: suggest
© Castle Wandabeck "a the spot; auch being not improbably an carly
name of Morpeth Castle, situate on the banks of the river Wansbeck, and
the castle itself being a place of some celebrity in the days when there

suggestion had he xaid la dame Cule. §

have little doubt that this rtory was to

T have purposely left to the last the
effigy #0 well known as the Boy or Choris-
ter Bishop, as I am not quite satustied
with its appropriation. There is no doubt
that. it was the ancient custom here, a8
well us in other cathedrals, for one of the
boys of the choir to be elected on St.
Nicholas Day (December 6th) a Bishop;
and trom tha: period to the 28th of De-
cember, the day of the Holy Innocents, to
be apparelled in the episcopal vestinents,
and wich mitre and pastoral staff perform
all the duties and ceremonies of a bis!

3 and it has been nsse:

that if the boy cbaueed to
die during that period he was buried with
all the state and reverence due ton bishop.
Of this latter circumstance I desire some
evidence. Such an occurrence would natu-
rally be rare, und [ think could hardly
have escaped being specially chronicled in
the records of this Cathedral. If it be not,
I shall continue to believe that this effigy,
like that of the knight at Horsted Keynes
and other examples, represents a@ person of
full age, and has been only executed on a
smaller scale in compliance with the desire
of the deceased or his family, or the fancy
of the sculptor. I am iuclined to consider
it us commemorating one of the Bisho)s of
Salisbury who died somewhere about the
close of the thirteenth century ; Robert de
Wickhampton, or one of his successors,
probably, who are known to have been
buried in this Cathedral, but whose tombs
have not yet been identified. Had the
figure under consideration been intended
to represent a boy, it would surely have
been of lite size: but it is 100 small to be
cousidered the portrait of any chorister
boy, and if it Le a miniature effigy, what.
argument is there that will hold against
its being a man’s? ‘The error evidently
arose in the first impression that it was
that of a boy, und the disesvery by Gre-
gory of’ the ‘ecremonial of the Chorister
Bishop in the statuies of the chapter led
vim at once to jump at his conclu-ion. I
nay add that it was not originally a re-
cumbent effigy, but evidently, from the
canopy over it, had occupied an upright
position against some wall or column.

At the conclusion of Mr, Plunché’s dis-
conrae, the members visited the King’s
Sehool, the Mutron's Colleze, and other
objects of interest in the Close. There
was u fable d'hdte at the White Hart.

‘At hulf-past eight o'clock the Bishop
held a courersazivne at the Palace, which
was attended by the mcubers of the Asso-

man, Alenin. An interesting treatise on

Black made some observations on the cedar
boxes in which some of the vellun MSS,
were kept. He observed that cedar was of
all materials one of the most mischievous.
Me ld made some experiments in concert
with the late Lord Langdale, the Master
of the Rolls, and they hud ascert dined that
the word when new gave out a sort of!
resinous substance, which is quickly ab-
sorbed by the parchments, which in time
become Tutina‘ed. Me would suggest
that the cedar should be well seasoned
befire used for such a purpose.

At cleven o'clock an excursion was made
to Wilton House, which, together with
the beautiful grounds, was thrown open
to the mambers of the Association. They
famed Lom-

Mr. George Godwin, the editor of the
« Builder,” gave a description of Early

fter dining at the ordinary at the
White Hart, the members re-axsembled
in the evening at the Council - hou-e,
under the presidency of Sir Fortunatux
Dwarris, when Mr. Gordon Hills read a
paper on the Round Towers of Irclund.

Mr. Vere Irving then read the following
paper on the Earthworks of Qld Sarum.

Those members of the Association who
were present lust yeur ut the Norfolk con-

occasion, at Norwich, Castle Rising, and
Ely, and which has since been the subject
of considerable discussion, As, however,
there are many friends here whom we had
not the pleasure of seeing in Norfolk, I
hope I shall not be considered tedious if I
commence these observations with a short
recapitulation of circumstances with which
amany of our members are already ac-
quainted.

The type of earthwork in question has
been most accurately defined, and can
never be confounded with of the
others met with in Great Britain. It
ts of a mount more or less arti-
ficial, having attached to it one or more
curthwork cuclusures, generally of great
strength, the form of this mount varying
from a nearly perfect cone, through »
truncated one, till it assumes that of a
hollow erater, which is the one in which
we mect with it at Old Suruin,

It iy act with in almost every part of
the island, and is generully, 1 might al-
most say invariably, found in connection
with Saxon castles, which in most in-
stances were succeeded by Norman for-
tresses, the walls of these strongholds
occupying the summiss of the mounts and
ewhaukments, while the other buildings
attached to them were erected iu the eu-
closed areas. Owing to this connection,
these earthworks were generally treated
by urchwologists as mere accessories of the
and did not vbtain that attention
‘h their importunce entitled them.
is, however, there were to be found
wore than one honourable exception in
the cuse of lucal histories of particular
places, where the origin of individual
earthworks of this type was most fully
enqnired into; but it was not until the
publication of Mr. Harrod’s “ Castles and
Convents o! 2” thut a general in-
terest. was excited in the subject as a
whole. That gentleman, after a most.
minute and jersevering exumination of
the Norfolk examples, announced in the
work referred to his conviction that carth-
works of this class were the remains of
aboriginal British fortresses which existed
before the Roman i ion,

‘The foundation of Mr. Harrod’s views is
founded on the stupendous fortifications of
Cast] re, Where, in the immediate vie
nity of remarkable earthworks of the clues
we are cousidering, there exists a great
and undoubted Roman camp. From his
examination of these he drew the couelu-
sion that the lines of the latter had been
detlceted so as to accommodate themsclyes
to the mount and its enclosure id that
this was evidence of the prior existence of
the latter. With all respect, however, to

p. 465), 10, 11, 2 (ib., p. 11), 43 and 37 (here given),
ranging from 1347 to 1400.

One of the most useful authorities on this point that can
be consulted by the student or the artist is the Meliadus
manuscript, Add. MS., 12,228; for the examples, numer-
ous, varied and fanciful, have the further advantage of
being richly coloured and gilt. ‘They are, thus, far prefer-
able to the illustrations contributed by seals, and indeed
place before us crests, knights and conflicts with a truth-
fulness like that of life. ‘The old fan-crests of the thirteenth
century are not altogether discarded: they appear among
the miniatures of Sloane MS., 346, of about 1325, in the
Louterell Psalter ( Vetusta Monumenta, vol. vi.), and on the
seal of the Graf von Geldern, 1343. Horns, too, which
were worn on the helms of the preceding age, are con-
tinued in the present, and in Germany appear to have
been in especial favour. They were in some cases painted
with the heraldic bearings of the wearer, as in the monu-
ment of a knight of the family of Linden, where linden
leaves are figured upon them (Hefner, pl. 156). The effigy
of Bickenlbach, 1354 (Hefner, pl. 103), is a similar in-
stance. In other cascs they are without any device upon
them, as in the Mcliadus manuscript, where some are
gilt, others painted black. Compare the examples given
by Iefner in his plates 15, 22 and 125. The seal of
William, first Earl of Douglas, c. 1356, has for crest a
plume of feathers'. Plumes thus employed must be care-
fully distinguished from those which in the cingue cento
period formed so splendid an adornment of the knightly
casque.

Though usually affixed to the helm, the crest occa-
sionally surmouuts the bassinet. We have already noted
the example furnished by the monument of De Valence in
Westminster Abbey : the Meliadus codex contributes fur-
ther illustration of this usage. On the Valence tomb ap-
pears also a figure in which the broad-rimmed “iron-hat”
shews the remains of a erest which has crowned it.

The materials of the crest were of several varieties. An
achicvement of the Uohenlohe family in the church of
Kreglingen still retains three crests of this century. They

settlement in Oxford,
4. 1276. The ordinations of Archbishop Kilwardby, approved by

the founder; and his confirmation, March 13, 1275-6.

The subsidiary documents are the following :-—

Deed of assignment, printed p. 9.

1262. License from Richard, Earl of Gloucester.

1264. License from Gilbert, Karl of Gloucester.

1265, Grant from prior of St. Frideswide of house west of college
waite,

1265-6, Kpiphany, grant of advowson of St. John’s, Oxford.

1266, Aug. 80. Itoyal charter de claudendo plac. in Oxon,

—— Sept. 7. Moyal charter giving advowson of St. Peter’s for
impropriation.

1266, Sale hy Jacob, son of Mosey the Jew, of London, of house
near college gate,

1267, Sept. 3. Royal charter for bringing water from the Cherwell

1276. Confirmation by Archbishop Peckham and provincial synod
at Reading,

1276, Confirmation by Gravesend, Bishop of Lincoln.

1240, Confirmation by Pope Nic. ILL.

1284. Archbishop Peckham's injunctions, entitled Interpretatio
Slututorun,

1510, The statutes of Peterhouse, Cambridge, remodelled by
Bishop Montague of Ely, “secundam regulam Mertonensem.”

Tc is readily seon from these documents that there was a steady
progress during the decad 126-4-7-4, towards—
1. ‘The concentration of the institution in Oxford:
2 ‘The full development of its literary and religious objects.

The statutes of 1264 exhibit to us an institution divided in

ious regula,
Malden to the site in Oxford, “ubi perpetuo scholares
meos moraturos esse decerno.”
In 1274, then,
secular scholars

eminent rivals, the
Osford, and destined, too, to be the parent of
a succession of similar institutions. :
The question what was the exact position which the founder
the institution to fill is a very interesting one. It will
be best answered by looking at the state of the university, of the
Church, and of learning in his time, and will perhaps never be
aoe fea iota d until the condition of the times is more fully

it to

In the first half of the thirteenth century, in spite of the un-
settledness of the times, the weakness of the government, and the

corruptions of the Church, the Oxford schools were
great men, and exercising a large influence both in the '

and the world of letters*,

344 Sketch of the Life of Walter de Merton. [Oct.

Earl of Cornwall, at the East-gate, for the sake of academical
benefits to their novices. See A. Wood’s “ Annals.”
Add to these :—

1249. The bequest* to the University by William of Durham for
the maintenance of four poor Masters of Arts, out of which be-
quest University College has grown.

1242. The endowment of poor scholars and first settlement under
statutes by Dervorguilla de Balliol.

The Crossed, or Crutched Friars, who were removed to the
neighbourhood of the East-gate, in St. Peter’s parish, were first
settled near South-gate, probably in this century. They were a
very small foundation, perhaps of no scholastic importance.

Bishop Kennett, in his “ Parochial Antiquities,” p. 214, bears his

testimony to the fact that the Religious had by custom schools in
Oxford for the benefit of their houses, which schools commonly
bore the name of their owners. He mentions particularly Dor-
chester, Eynsham, St. Frideswide, Littlemore, ney, Studley.
Two schools, called St. Patrick’s, were given to St. Frideswide’s
Priory by Master John, son of Hamo, a mercer, about 1255, and
the Civil Law School in St. Edward’s parish also belonged to the
Priory. See Dugd. Mon., Priory of St. Frid.
In Cambridge, we learn from Dean Peacock, in his Appendix to
Observations to University Statutes, 1841, that the four chief orders
of Friars, Carmelites, Franciscans, Dominicans, Augustinians, were
all established in the thirteenth century, and wielded a powerful
influence within the University.

‘The statutes continually deat with them, assign them their place
in University processions, limit the number of their incepting
graduates, and betray the same jealousy of their activity and in-
fluence ns the statutes of Paris and of Oxford.

Besides the Friars, the Priory of Barnwell and other smaller
religious houses, now merged in St. John’s and other colleges,
exercised large influence in University matters.

Our founder's purpose I conceive to have been to secure for his
own order in the Church, for the secular priesthood, the academical
bencfits which the religious orders were so largely enjoying, and to
this end I think all bis provisions are found to be consistently
framed,

He borrowed from the monastic institutions the idea of an
aggregate body living by common rule, under a common head,

year 1249 Matthew of Parix records that the Cistercians obtained the
wolas Universitatum,” ‘The ground for seeking it was “ne forent
oribux, minoribus, et secularibus litteratis, proecipue legiatis et
provided thems’ noble abodes at Paris and
and further, that cloister religion was much out of
a raaking study of literature well-nigh forgotten. He
might have added that the more recent and incre stringent rules of St. Francis and
Kt. Dominic to the same effect were equally forgotten by their carly followers.

very way intended;

i the college as a “ Prom; ad dandam

Salutis ene a quo aver sunt hactenus viri

i latéque lesiam pervenit spiritalis gratia
formis.” See Rymer’s Fed., tom. iv. 1330.
Bishop Beaumont, 1830, testifies “ quod totam Ecclesiam

canam fructuosis operibus et doctrinis perlustravit.” *

After another century’s experience, we find a still =
timonial to its having borne the fruit intended, and that a
monarch who was a watchful observer of ¢ i i ns,

Prol

the poor and unaided scholar, though ever present to his’ mind,
were all subordinated to the main end of benefiting the Church
by erecting a nursery for her parochial priesthood in the bosom
of the University.

SAMUEL MARSDEN ®.

Saucer Marsves was born in the year 1764, at Horsforth, a village in
the neighbourhood of Leeds. He graduated at St. John’s College, Cam-
bridge, and in 1793 went out as Second Chaplain to New South Wales.
The settlement was at this time in the sixth year of its existence, and in
some respects in promising circumstances. The distresees which bad
harassed it 20 much since 1790 were fast being removed. The labours of
the settlers had at length begun to take effect, and the once sterile lands
about Sydney Cove were now productive enough to allow of corn being
sold to the government stcres. Farms were established at Paramatta,
and passage-boats might be seen plying between that town and Sydney.
Everything in the temporal affairs of the colony, in fact, shewed signs of
progress, forming, in this particular, a melancholy contrast to its moral
condition, than which nothing could well be more deplorable. The com-
munity was corrupt almost beyond expression. There was scarcely a sort
or degree of vice of which it did not furnish examples; and its fate, accord-
ing to all human judgment, was inevitably cast for a constantly accelerating
deterioration. Between the convict portion of the population there was
gathering strength a powerful party feeling, of which the bad effects were
daily more evident. All the labourers and menials of the colony were
felons. By their more fortunate companions who had been emancipated
and obtained grants of land, these men were uniformly treated with the
greatest consideration and good-fellowship, and they, in their turn, entered
with much more heartiness into the zervice of these masters than into that
of other employers. The result was, that the emancipated convicts, having
a better command of assistance than any other people in the settlement,
soon became a prosperous class ; and, as a natural consequence, acquired
an importance which the utter debasement of their characters made espe-
cially dangerous. The civil and military servants of the government ap-
pear to have taken no pains to counteract this evil influence by upholding
a higher standard of morality. They were, indeed, no better than their
neighbours. Even those occupying superior stations were rather the means
of encouraging than of checking the prevailing depravity. The grossest
fraudulence, brutality, profanity, and licentiousness obtained aniversally.
If there were any individual members of the society who had not bowed
the knee to Baal, they had not courage to raise a voice against the general
ungodlinees. A prospect more truly hopeless than that which presented
iteclf to Mr. Mareden when he arrived at his post cannot be imagined. He
was, however, precisely the man for the place. He was a good man and
hated sin, but he was just as little to be depressed at sight of the seemingly
overwhelming tide of evil which he had to encounter, as he was to be
carried away by it. A more sensitive man might have sunk down in
despair and horror; he was not sensitive, and was abundantly eanguine.
A still more useful quality than his sanguineness was, perhaps, his great
courage. He had no idea of any other fear save the fear of God; per-

absorbed examination of his venerable friend's features. and on bemg

was held.

LINES ORIGINALLY WRITTEN FOR THE LADIES’ CHARITABLE
BAZAAR AT PENZANCE, ap. 1828

Wrart! in this wonder-working age,

When upside down all things are turning;
When steam the rapid car conveys,

And lamps without their oil are burning ;
When led by Davy’s guardian blaze

With safety through the fire we walk;
And Lithographs to cur amaze,

Can make the very stones to talk ;

Shall Charity alone be far

Amid these wonders left behind ?
If you will enter this Bazaar,

She deals with magic too, you'll find.
Around the tables, gaily spread,

See all that Fancy con bestow 5
Of sparkling stars and roses red,

And pictures fair, a splendid show!
Wave but a gold or silver wand,—

‘That filigree shall thatch a cottage;
Oberient to the same command

That urn becomes a mess of pottage.

That silken cushion stuffed with bran
Shall be a basket fall of bread :
And what appears a cooling fan
Shall as a blanket warm a bed.

The parasol shall form a ceiling
To shelter from the wind and rain ;
Yon butterfly shall speed with healing
Upon its wings to sotten pain.

That vase is full of balm and honey,
Transparent though it seem to be:

The empty purse shall pour oat money :—
Those chains shall set a pris‘ner free.

These glitt’ring gauds, to outward sense,
Of idle toys which seem a store,
Touch’d by thy wand, Benevolence,
‘Are food and raiment for the poor.
Here Charity, in pious aid,
Her loving duties to fulfil,
Makes Luxury her helping maid,
And Labour work with magic skill.

my, the same fact and the
same limit, (“ Heurming—mox prem cam

cepit regni terminum.” — Adam. Brem.
Hist, Eccl.) The great earth-works or
lines of ramparts, the Kurvirke and the
Dannevirke, were thrown up to defend
the same natural mark. King Alfred tells
us that in his time Hedeby (now called
Slesvig) was a Danish town; and every
author, native and foreign, Icelandic and
Teutonic, down to the Slesvig-Holstein
lie-makers, has always said the same thing.

But German attempts at conquest or
Germanization also date from the bezin-
ning. Charles the Great failed in 811;
in 1061 Archbishop Adelbert, of Bremen,
was foiled hy King Svend Estridson in
his efforts to inflict German priests on the
province. This was further counteracted
by the erection of an archiepiscopate at
Lund, for the whole Scandinavian North.
‘The country remained Danish. ‘The cele-
brated Jutland law, in old Danish, was
insued by King Waldemar the Victorious,
in 1241, and was the legal code for North
and South Jutland, and Fyn, with the
Hands, and all the principal towns in
South Jutland received “rights” and
“customs” in Old-Danish, or in Latin
mixed with Danish technical terms. In
the fifteenth century, the Holsten counts
would insist on the country being a de-

endency of Holsten—for German impu-

which may interes: those Fellows of the
Society of Antiquaries who are engaged

a MS. volume of “Sepaichral In-

and written by E ias Ashmole, Eoq., with
Dras ings of te Arms and principal Monu-
menta” To which Mr. Black appends
this note -—

“Chietl. (collected) in 1658 and 1663.
It should be observed that in August,
1662, Dugdale, then Norroy Bing of Aras,
went to perform his visitation of ie cone: coun-
ties of Derby and Notti
panied with Ashmole; in March following
(1663) they went together to the visitation
of Staffordshire and Derbyshire; and on
Aug. 3 in the same year they set out to
visit. Shropshire and Cheshire (Ashmole’s

&e. ed in these travels were after-
wards ‘airly copied into these two volumes ;
and the dates that they contain may be
important, as tiving a day in which such
monu.nents were existing.”

The second is a similar volume relating
to Derbyshire. The next article is a de-
scription of twelve volumes of transcripts
mude by Ashmole and his amanuensis, and
includes—

are not unfrequent in German monuments: they occur
occasionally in those of France and England. The statue
of St. George at Dijon is a good instance (Archwologia, vol.
ay) The sculpture at Newton Solney (woodcut, No. 39)

a further illustration. In this example the ties are
placed at the sides only, and are therefore not in view in
our sketch, From the evidence of several monuments it
would appear that the bassinet and camail were united
before placing on the head of the knight. See our engray-
ing, No. 15, and the woodeut given by Stothard at the
ee pe, cm the effigy of the Black

ce.

A curious yariety of the camailed bassinet is found in
several German memorials, where a nasal is contrived in
the camail itself, and so arranged as either to hang free
and leave the breathing unimpeded, or to hook up at the

covering all the face but the eyes. See our wood-
cuts, Nos, 1 (vol. cciv. p. 4) and 14; and compare the 87th
plate of Hefner’s 7rackten. A gorget of plate substituted
for one of chain-mail is seen in our woodcut, No. 38, but
this is rather a characteristic of the fifteenth than of the
fourteenth century. It is found, however, in Roy. MS. 14,
D, vi. fol. 241, a book of the fourteenth age. At the end
of this period, too, came in the fashion of giving a fringe-
like termination to the chain-mail gorget, by leaving one
or more rings hanging free at intervals along its lower
edge. See woodcut, No. 37, ‘Ihe so-called banded-mail
appears as the material of the camail in many monuments
of the time, as in our engravings, Nos. 19, 23 and 13, and
the statue at Tewkesbury, c. 1350—60, figured by Sto-
thard, pl. 73. Beneath the mail gorget there seems to
have been occasionally worn a sort of under-tippet of buff
or quilted-work. ‘This is well shewn in the statue at Cle-
hongre (Hollis, pt. 5), where the sub-gorget is fashioned
and ornamented in the same manner as the pourpoint of
the body-armour. : ‘
’ The wide-rimmed helmet is found throughout this century,
though not very frequently. It oceurs in the group engraved
on p. 438 (No. 40), from Add. MS., 10,293, fol. 160, a book
dated in 1316. See also woodeut, No. 8 (vol. eciv. p. 591),
early in the century. Other examples a in the monu-
ment of De Valence, 1323 (Stothard, pl. 49); in Roy. MS.

of the peried. On folio 241 of the Meliadus manuseript,
Add, |2,225, it is encireled by a coronet. What is called
a“ Ketyll-hat® in many documents of this time is probably
the same: kind of headpiece a that here described.

Examples varying from the above types are of occasional
oceurrence, Tn the Louterell Psalter we have a bell-shaped
helmet, furnished with a visor and surmounted by an clabo-
rate fan-crest, seemingly hung with grelots®. Other curious
modifications appear in the Anjou manuscript, Roy. MS.
6, EB, ix.; in the senlpture of the cathedral of Notre Dame
at Paris, in the Kerrich Collections'; in the subject
given on the 37th plate of Hefner's Trachfen, and in
the figure from Sloane MS. 546, folio 3 (No. 17 of our
engravings).

The Palet (pellirix) appears from its name to have been
originally of Jexther; but the word, like euirass, became
extended to the analogous defence of iron. In the Inven-
tory of the Castle of Dover in 1361, we have: ‘basynet et

ax” (Test. Ebor. 343). And, a little later, John Scott,
citizen and bowyer of York, bequeaths “j. wyer hatt,
harnest with sylver, j. schaffe of pakok federd arows,” &c.
(Ibid. p. 419).

An under-coif “of cloth” was worn with the iron head-
picce, as it had been in the preceding century. It is seen
in the sculptured effigy of De Ryther, 1308, figured in
Hollis’s “ Monuments,” pt. 2; and is noticed by Froissart
under 1391, where, recounting the adventure of the Count
of Armagnac near Alexandria, he tells us that the young
Count, being overcome by the heat, turned aside to a
streamlet that issucd from a neighbouring alder-grove ;
“et quand il fut assis, & grand’-peine il osta son bassinet et
demcura a nue téte, couverte d’une coiffe de toile; et puis
s’abaissa ct se plongea son visage en l’cau, et commenca &
boire et & reboire tant que le sang du corps lui refroidit, et
commenca a perdre la force de ses membres ct le mouve-
ment de la parole®,” &e.

The knightly Mantle was often of a rich character, lined
with ermine or other costly fur, and was a favourite gift
of princes to their followers. It is not frequently repre-
sented in the monuments of the time, but occurs among
the sculptures in the front of Excter Cathedral (Carter,
pl. 12), in the statue of Frosch (Iefner, pl. 49), and in that
of Du Bois (Stothard, pl. 58). The Mantle was one of
the insignia of the Knights of the Garter, the material
being blue woollen cloth. See, on this subject of the
military cloak, the note on p. 337 of St. Palaye’s Ancienne
Chevalerie,

From many preceding passages, we have learned that
the armour during this century was often of a very rich
and costly kind. ‘The moralists of the day were not spar-
ing in their reproof of this military foppery, but the battle-
field was a censor still more stern: the knight who would
otherwise have been admitted to the accustomed ransom,
was slain fur the sake of his splendid panoply. “La furent-
ils pris ct retenus par force, et un ccuyer jeune et frisque
de Limousin, neveu du pape Clément, qui s’appeloit Rai-
mond. Mais, depuis qu'il fut ercanté prisonnier, fut-il
Occis, pour la conyoitise de ses belles armures?.”

442 Arms, Armour, and Military Usages [Nov..

remarked that this champion arms himself with three kinds
of swords : a long sword, a short sword, and a dagger.

Armour was not to be sold at an excessive price, when
urgently necded for defence of the realm. In 1386, pro-
clamation was made against unusual rates for arms, armour
and horses to be supplied to the “ omines ad arma, Armati
et Sagittarii ;” and if the vendors do not themselves set a
moder ite: pri ico on the items in question, their appraisement
is to be made “ per fideles ct legales homines,” and at this
valuation the goods are to be supplied’.

Armour and weapons were frequently transmitted by
Will from one generation to another; a fact of some im-
portance to the archwologist, as it may sometimes help to
reconcile a discrepancy in fashions not otherwise easy of
solution, In the testament of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl
of Essex, in 1319, we read :—“ Ensement, je devis a mon
enizne* fuiz toutz mes armures et un lit entier de vert,
poudre de Cynes blaunches, ove toutes les apurtenaunces*.”
he two poor words accorded to the whole of the potent
baron’s military paraphernalia, as contrasted with the minute
particularities of the green bed powdered with white swans,
is curiously characteristic of the time. The Duchess of
Gloucester, in her will dated 1399, bequeaths a haubergeon
which had belonged to her husband’s father :—“ Item, un
habergeon, ove un crois de laton merchie sur le pis encontre
le cuer, quele feust a mon seignour son picre?.””

The armour in which king or knight had achieved a
victory was sometimes offered at. the altar, on the thanks-
giving for the success. Thus, after the battle of Cassel in
1328, the French king, returning to Paris, “ ecclesiam
beatwe Mariw ingressus, coram imagine, cisdem armis quibus
in bello armatus fucrat, se armari fecit, et super equum cui
existenti in bello insederat ascensus, beatae Maris, cui se
hoe in belli periculo facturum voverat, ecclesite ejusdem
arma e€ equum deferens, devotissime presentavit, eidem de
tanti evasione periculi gratias agens.” (Cont, Guill. de
Nangis, ii, 102, ed. 1843; and compare Chron, de S. Denis,
v. 321, ed. 1837; where ame is replaced by ‘“ toutes ses
armeures.”)

Both the armour and the horse of the knight are fre-

And again :-—
“La péust-on véoir maint gonfanon levé,
Maint bacinet ausi ct maint escu nervé.”"—Vers 15 908.

We have already‘ referred to the interpretation of nervé
as “covered with leather,” but in some passages of ancient
writings it seems to mean faced with bands of iron. We
leave this knotty question to the philologists.

Steel was employed for shields at this period, though
not frequently mentioned. In the Inventory of the Armour
of Louis Hutin in 1316, we have :—“iij. escus pains des
armes le Roy, et un d’acier.” In the Romance of Richard
Ceeur-de-Lion, the king is said to have borne

“On his schuldre a scheeld of steel,

With three lupardes wrought ful weel.”— Page 222.
And of Colbrand, in the Romance of Guy of Warwick, we
read that
‘A targe he had ywrought ful wele,
Other metal was there none but steel.”
Shields faced with stecl are mentioned in the Chronicle of
Du Guesclin by Cuvelicr.

‘os in the military art are recommended to practise
with shiclds of wicker-work. In the version of Vegecius
(Roy. MS., 18, A, xii.) young soldicrs are directed to
provide ‘‘a shelde made of twigges, sumewhat rounde, in
maner of a gredyrn, the whiche is clepede a fanne; and
therwith they sholde have maces of tree” (Bk. I. ch. xi.)

The principal forms of the shields of this period
are the triangular, those rounded below, the kite-shaped,
the heart-shaped, the circular, the notched or bouched,
the curved and the spiked. The triangular are of two
kinds, flat and bowed: the first are seen in our woodcuts,
Nos. 19, 46, 22, 20 and 11; the bowed appear in wood-
cuts, Nos. 33, 49 and 12. ‘The last-named example, the
effigy of Aldeburgh, 1360, is curious, as being the latest
knightly brass in England in which the shield appears as
part of the equipment. The effigy in the previous group,
No. 11, taken from Hefner’s work, and dated 1372, is the
last of his series in which the warrior in his tomb-sculp-
ture carrics a shield. Shields are, indeed, often seen in

Sometimes plain. Both varieties are found in our engrav-
ings, Nos. 15, 16 and 48. Occasionally we meet with a
target which is fashioned in the
form of a head. In tho subject
here given (No. 42), from Roy.
MS., 16, G, vi, fol. 304, the
head appears to be intended for
that of'a lion. A bearded human

curious example on folio 51 of f) E
Roy. MS., 2, B, vii.; and again |\¢:
in that engraved by Strutt as the
frontispiece to his ‘Dress and |/

ec. 1400, some of the combatants No. 42.
in the fight called “der Hutt” have a buckler moulded
into the form of a human head*. The shield with spike in
front is not often seen in the monuments of this century,
though it may have been frequently used by the common
foot-soldicry, who, of necessity, do not so often become the
subject of pictorial or sculptural art as the knightly order.
An example of this type is furnished by our woodcut, No.
8 (vol. cciv. p. 591), from Cotton MS., Claudius, D, ii, a
book of the carly part of this age. Shields of so large a
size as nearly to cover the whole body are shewn to have
been used among the foot troops, by several monuments of
this period. One of the best is the curious carved casket
formerly in the collection of Mr. Douce, and now at Good-
rich Court, the sculptures of which represent the story of
Susanna. Of the “Pavise,” we have already examined
the fashion and the purpose. The shiclds armed with
spikes, barbs, and saws, used in judicial combats, are
among the wildest inventions of the middle ages. Their

Devices of a sacred r also appear, as in the
from Roy. MS., 20, A. ii. (our woodcut, No. 22). In .
lish monumental effigies the shield is usually represented
as borne on the arm; but occasionally it is slung at the
ip, as in our woodcuts, Nos, 23 and 20, and the Pem~
idge figure (Hollis, pt, 5). This latter method is very
frequent in French memorials, of which examples will be
found in Guilhermy’s Eylise de Si, Denis, pp. 170, 253, 260
and 272, Hefner gives us an instance in the
of Rudolf yon Thiecrstein at Basel. Other figures shew us
the shield slung upon the sword-hilt, as in our engravings,
Nos. 1 (vol. eciy. p. 4), 16and 11. In the effigy of Bicken-
bach (Hefner, pl. 103), it is thus slung upon the hilt of the
sword, and both are placed in front, so that, from the
waist downward, almost the whole person of the knight is
concealed by his armorial shield. This arrangement is not
unusual in Welsh monuments, as in the tomb now in the
churchyard of Ruabon, When wounded in battle, the
warrior was still, as in former centuries, carried the
ground on a shield or pavise. ‘his eustom is illustrated
by a drawing on folio 260 of Add. MS., 12,228". The
only real shields of this century which appear to have been
authenticated are those of the Black Prince at Canterbury,
and the relics at Kreglingen, already noticed as haying

work on Medieval Costume.

The Spur characteristic of the fourteenth century is of
the rowel kind, with the arms curying under the ankle,
and the neck short and straight. The spur of a single
goad is, however, not unfrequent, and the old ball-and-
spike form sometimes occurs. In the brass of Sir Hugh
Hastings, both the goad and rowel spur appear, the prm-
cipal oe haying the latter kind, while the lateral effigies
wear the former. The goad spur (with a single strap)
is found in the brass of Fitzralph, ¢, 1325 (Waller, pt. 13).
The goad (with three straps) is seen in the Septyans
1306 (Waller, pt. 9), in the effigies of D’Aubornoun an
John of Eltham, 1327 and 1334 (Stothard, pl. 60 and 56

berg, pl. 9, and “ Book of Spurs,” pls. 5 and 6.

Silver-gilt spurs appear among the items of the Accounts
of Etienne de la Fontaine in 1352. They are provided for
the Dauphin :—“ Item, pour faire et forger unes jartiéres et
uns esperons, semblablement garnis et dorez, pesant argent
ii. mars, vi. onces” (p. 124).

The straps for affixing the spurs were of lcather or silk.
Both materials are named in the Inventory of Louis X. :—
“Item, iv. paires d'esperons garnis de soye et ij. paires
garnis de cuir.” These straps were variously ornamented.
With the bronze spur found in the tomb of Conrad von
Heideck, 1357 (Ictner, pl. 176), was also found part of
the spur-strap. It is of leather, thickly studded with
bronze boxses, and the holes for the buckle are edged
with bronze. Similar metal-sockets are seen in the Pem-
bridge monument (ILollis, pt. 5), and in that of Duguesclin
at St. Denis. In licu of plain studs, an ornament of rosettes
is sometimes supplied, as in the cftigy of Sir Hugh Calve-
ley (Stothard, pl. 99). ‘The spur-straps of the Black Prince
have a decoration of enamels bordered in gold; and an
analogous example is furnished by the statue of Orlamiinde,
ce. 1360 (Hefner, pl. 146).

We have already noticed, from Froissart, that the knights
occasionally used their spurs as caltrops, fixing the arms in
the ground, and leaving the spikes standing upright, “ par
quoi on ne les pit approcher, fors en péril et & mal aise”
(Chron. i. 397).

ments of a civil character fully supply the deficiency.
During the early years of the century in England, neither
beard nor moustache appears to have been in vogue; but as
the age advanced, both came into fashion, and from about
1325 they are very general. Examples of the close-shaven
knighthood occur in the brass of Septvans, 1306 (Hollis,
pt. 1), the sculpture of Ryther, 1308 (ILollis, pt. 2), the
effigies at Forstield and Gorleston, 1311 and 1325 (Sto-

SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF WALTER DE MERTON,

FOUNDER OF MERTON COLLEGE, OXFORD.

CHAPTER III.

THE COMPLETION OF HI¥ FOUNDATION.
(Continued.)

Aw inspection of the founder's provisions and regulations will
lead us to see how consistently and wisely he framed his means to
his purposed end.

And first, in looking at his prescribed course of study, we find
that it is all pointed to the perfecting of the theologian, who was
in due course to go forth and labour in one of the benefices at-
tached to the house, or in whatever field mght be opened to him.

But the course did not begin with theology, for a very good
reason. One of the great causes of weakness which then affected
theological study, was the neglect of the needful foundation which
the University intended to provide in her course of arts. Anton
Wood, in his Annals of this century, dwells much upon this evi.
Ue asserts that the Bishops admitted mere boys of twenty to holy
orders, who consequently hurried rapidly onwards to the attain-
ment of that small degree of theological learning which could be
expected at such an age. IIe preserves some ludicrous instances
of the ignorance of grammar.

Another cause which weakened theology, was greediness of the
more profitable study of canon and civil law.

To remedy these weaknesses, the founder introduced his Gram-
maticus® as officer of his institution. He required the pars major
of the scolares, “ut artium liberaliam et studio philosophiz va-
cent,” bat this only as introductory to, and qualifying for, their
final study of theology, “donec in his laudabiliter provecti ad stu-
dium se transferant theologie.” His regulation touching the
study of the laws, is restrictive as to the number privileged to
proceed, and their qualification. Quatuor? autem vel quinque,

it fell within the prescript study of philosophy, and others for a
grosser violation of statute by procceding to an unlicensed study
of the lawse.

The orders of 1155 proceed upon the fact that great disgrace had
accrued to the college trom the rejection of Fellows at the Bishop's
examination, and impose an oath to the effect that no one would
proceed to holy orders before the completed term of Regency
in Arts.

We may here remark that having been so explicit in the preserip-
tion of studies, the Founder did not deem it needful to legislate for
the professions which his Fellows were to pursue. Were a Brunel
ora Stephenson in this nineteenth century founding a college for
the improvement of his own order of civil engineers, after framing
a course of stuly directed throughout to the perfecting of the
student in the practice of an engincer’s cailing, he might well omit,
either consciously or unconsciously, all regulation as to his ulti-
mate prof n. In the parallel case, viz. the secular priest of the
thirteenth century erecting an institution for the improvement of
his own order, there were reasons why it was less needful for him
to lay down any rezulations as to the ultimate destination of students
whose whole antecedents he so modelled from the most elementary
staye of their education, as to make it their interest, as well as their
duty, to enter the sacred profession, ‘There is no doubt that the
prescribed course of theolozy was intended to carry them to the
higher degrees in that faculty, which, after the University require-
ment of a Latin sermon in 1251, could only be obtained by an or-
dained candidate. Beyond this, again, lay the prospect of a college
benefice, furnishing another inducement to enter the priesthcod,
to nothing of the universal usage of the day, perhaps as in-
fluential as any other cause, according to which, admission into the
clerical body was deemed a qualification for the pursuit of every
learned profession.

The fact, then, of the founder’s omitting to designate the future
profession of the boys whom he admitted to his institution need
cause no doubt whatever as to intentions,

We may proceed now to notice another provision, which indi-
cates the close connection between the foundation and the secular
priesthood, his large provision of Church-patronage.

That patronage should have been bestowed upon him for the
benefit of his institution, in whatever way it was to benefit the
Church, was not surprising, when we consider that the highest
personages of the reali were deeply interested in the ex-Chancel-

456 Sketch of the Life of Walter de Merton. (Nov.

confined the study of canon law with its more gainful prospects to
a privileged few, advanced theologians, and that “pro utilitate
ecclesiastici regiminis,” and how he permitted the study of civil
law only as ancillary to the canon, but we have a clearer enuncia-
tion of his mind in the Injunctions (already adverted to) of his
almost-cotemporary, Abp. Pekham, when in 1284 he felt it his duty
to the founder to banish all study of medicine from the college,
and to restrain the canonists to the licensed number. He declares,
on his own knowledge, that in the founder’s time no medicé
had been allowed in the college, and that on the principle of “ con-
suetudo est juris interpres,” he must, as acting for the founder,
exclude them utterly.

We do not conceive, then, that there need remain any doubt that
the particular benefit which the founder designed to confer on the
Church was the improvement of his own order, the secular priest-
hodd, by giving them first a good elementary, and then a good
theological, education, in close union with a University, and with
the moral and religious training of a scholar-family living under
rules of piety and discipline. And this design was, we have g
reason to believe, in the main achieved. Whilst the Visitor of 1284
brings to light the fact that worldliness and selfishness were in
some degree marring the original design, there are abundant wit-
nesses to its general success. During the first eighty years of the
life of the institution, a brilliant succession of names, divines who
were also scholars and philosophers, shone forth, and kindled other
founders to devote their substance to the creation of similar nur-
series of learned clergy. The earlier statutes of Balliol, University,
Oriel, Peterhouse (Cambridge), all borrowed, with more or less of
closeness and avowal, the Regula Mertonensis, and thus justified
the assertion which the royal founder of Eton afterwards used, that
the later colleges bore a childlike resemblance to their common
parent, “ velut imago parentis in prole, relucent.”

THE EARLY USE OF SADDLES IN ENGLAND.

“SappLzs were in use in the third century, and are mentioned as made of leather in
a.D. 804. They were known in England about 600. The saddle-cloth first occurs
temp. Hen. I, (1100—1135). Side-saddles for ladies were in use in 1138. Anne,
queen of Richard II, introduced these t» the English ladies. (Stowe.) In 1531 load-
saddle cost 16d. (Durham Burs. Mem.) A hackney-saddle was a riding-saddle, as dis-
tinguished from a load, pack, or sumpter-saddle. (Finchdale.) In London, the ‘ gilda
sellariorum,’ or guild of saddlers, was in all pro! ability an Anglo-Saxon guild, and con-
sequently the oldest on record of all the present livery companies. (Herbert.) The
entrics in the accounts are very numerous.”—Mr. Harland's Notes to the House and

glories of Occhi, Duns Scotus, and Roger Bacon.

Under the next phase, vyis:g no longer with the learned of Europe in the
triumphs of intellect, the Franciscans of England entered up» another
arena, and a more circumscribed: resolved to outdo. if possible, their nearer
neigiibours and more favoured rivals—so far as the good things of this
world are concerncd—the Benedictine and Cistercian Monks, the great field
of contest now lay in the comparative depth and tone of coloured glass, the
purity and massiveness of marble columns, and the length and breadth of the
conventual church, the reward of victory being the superiority in architec-
tural taste. The higher senses and the more exquisite perceptions being now
gratified, the lower senses must have their tarn—and what was the result ?
By the time that Richard II. sat on the English throne, the name of
Friar or Minorite has become, not in the mouths of Lollards only, but in
those of serious men of their own creed even, little better than a byword or
synonym for sensualist, tippler, and glutton. As enjoined by his founder,
the Franciscan stiil devotes hims«lf to the society of the poor, but, if we are
not much mistaken, it is less with the view of inculcating lessons of piety,
than of hotnobbing with him at the village hostel on easy terms, or of
making a profitable exchange, in the way of meal or of malt, for the
knives, pins. purses, and pedlar’s wares with which, for the more especial
Lehoof of country wives,—not according to the Lollard poet only, whose
dogzrel lines are given in Mr. Brewer's volume, pp. 601—608, but on the
better authority of “Dan Chaucer” as well,—the Franciscan’s travelling
tippet was always kept well lined. Had these men adhered to the rules of
their founder, they might have done the work of the Reformation for them-
selves, und have pre-occupied the ground taken by their arch-enemies, the
Lol.ards. Within fifty years of the death of St. Francis, they had lost all
chance of ever doing so.

Such, in our opinion, were the steps in the decadence of the English Fran-
ciscan Friars: it is, however, the annals of their more hopeful days that
Mr. Brewer has here, from various sources, laboriously brought together.

We accordingly proceed, so far as our limits will permit, to examine the
documents connected with the first settlement of the Franciscans in this
country, and their earlier days here, which the learning and industry of the
Editor have thus brought to light, and duly clothed in the modern garb
of paper and print; and that too, as every one who sees the volume must
admit, in a most attractive form, so far as typography is concerned.

Sir John Ywin, who settled a piece of land4 upon the Commonalty of
London, to be held in trust for the brethren, and eventually, as a lay
brother, became a member of the Order himeelf.

This grant of land was soon after amplified by Sir Jocey Fitz~Piers,
and a chapel was next built there, solely at his own expense, by Sir William
Joymer, or Joynier, a man of great wealth, whom we know from other
sources to have been Mayor of London, and to have held the lucrative ap-
pointment of upholsterer to that enthusiastic lover of nicknackery, Henry
the Third. Other early benefactors to the community at London were
Peter de Oliland, Henry de Frowyk, and Salekinus de Basing.

At Oxford, the Friars soon obtained very fair quarters; but at Cam-
bridge they seem to have been but uncomfortably lodged at first :—

Letter 241, addressed to brother A. de Bechesoveres, is remarkable as
containing perhaps the earliest known mention of Wulter de Merton, after=

founder of Merton College, Oxford. He is here alluded to as applying”
for ordination, at the hands of the Bishop of Lincoln, as sub-deacon, ,

The next work in this laborious collection of the early Franciscan records:
is a Latin “ Register of the Friars Minors of London,” preserved in the”
Cottonian Collection, and numbered Vitellius F. xiii.¢ The author of it
apparently unknown, and, 80 far as the learned Editor has been able to
ascertain, there ts no other copy of it in existence, Among other curious
details, into which our limits forbid our entering any farther, the

difficulty, and, by giving the abbreviated form in the MS. at the bottom of
the page, challenges his opinion upon the merits of the solution proposed.

In an equally honest spirit, we trust, as Reviewers, not only have we
examined every page of the text, but, even more, we have deemed it our
duty to take each of these difficulties into consideration ourselves ; debate-
able points, for example, where two letters stand as the representatives of
seven, cizht, or possibly even ten. These debateable passages amount pro-
bably to about one hundred and fifty in number, and, in our opinion,
the ned Editor has hit upon the right solution in each instance, a very
few excepted; so few, indeed, that we have no difficulty in counting them
upon our fingers, and find them to be seven in number, and no more.
With one exception, they are matters of but trifling importance ; but as we
have ventured thus far in the way of assertion, it is only fair, alike to
Mr. Brewer and to ourselves, that we should name them. In p. 14, we
cannot agree with the suggestion (note 2), that guereretur should be read
for quereret. In p. 115, we would prefer rendering g’ (note 2) by guare
rather than by guia, In p, 124, (note 2,) in lieu of potestate we should
decidedly prefer preliv. In p. 151, the insertion of the word [quod] after
Gerneshey must be an oversight; it is not needed by the sense. In p. 199,
for ef quam note LY we would read fam quam in preference. In p, 212,
for anfe quam, the suggested interpretation of ang¢m (note 1), we propose
to read © aatiquus autem, with a semicolon before the first word. In p. 222,
idionem (note 2) we would decidedly read per obreptionem,
wo by cajoling arts of persuasion,”

As to mistakes on the Editor's part, the only one that bas met our
view, \with the exception of some few mis-spellings, mere typographical
) occurs in p, 255, where the word Aniaaus is

s instead of, as it really is, a proper name. In Epistle
76 of de Marisco we should prefer reading the first sentence by placing a
period after superseriptioni, removing the previous colon, and adopting
the Editor's suggestion as to reading perstrinrerit instead of perstrinzit.
Occurro is evidently needed by the following sentence.

Such are the results of a pretty careful sifting of Mr. Brewer's six hun-
dred and twenty-eight pages of text; and at those results, seeing that no
scholar, however learned, however careful, and however ambitious, has any
just pretensions to consider himself immaculate, he has no reason whatever
to feel annoyance or regret,

Mr. Brewer's Preface, the principal subject of which is the advent of the
Franciscans in England, and their early influences here on learning and
society, is ably written, and redolent in every page of study and deep
thought. Were we to enter into the manifold questions which come ' nder
his consideration. we might possibly find ourselves at issue with him in
some of the conclusions which he arrives at; but even were we inclined
to be more censorious than we admit ourselves to be, we should still feel
ourselves in duty bound to acknowledge, that in no instance has he ob-
truded his opinions offensively or dogmatically upon the reader, in no in-
stance has he transgressed the rules of literary courtesy, in no instance has
he by vague generalities cast a slur upon a writer’s repute, and that, upon
each and every of the points of sucial and political economy on which he
has touched, there is no royal road to a solution, but, on the contrary,
“on either side of the questiun there is a good deal to be said.”

amendment of, existing schools, it confines itself to setting up a

ranks," Now we believe that substantially the same thing is
by Mr. Acland and by ourselves, but we think that our form ent

Acland is fur the more competent witness,) that in some few cases the

educated within its own district, and destined for commercial, industrial,
or agricultural life. Early in 1857, (January 7,) this Society appointed a
Committee of its members to carry out this resolution, and the Committee
Ly its Secretary, Mr. Acland, invited the co-operation of the Education
Department of the Privy Council Office, in a letter published in Mr.
Acland's volume, pp. 105, 7. Wisely, we think, the Department declined
official assistance, but sanctioned the ertra-offcial and voluntary co-
operation of Dr. (then Mr.) Temple and Mr. Bowstead, in launching the
West of England project; and such was the favour with which this plan
wns received, that its extension, in the hands of the Universities, to the
country at large, was immediately suggested by Dr. Temple, in his letter
of April, 1857, to Dr. Jeune, the Master of Pembroke College, Oxford,
(nce Acland, pp, 75, 81.) Again, by such a plan of uniform examinations
for the pupils of our middle-class schools, its promoters desired not merely
to allord a ready TEST of the efficiency of such schools, and a stimulus to
their working, but also to guide and direct the course of tnstruction in
them. It is impossible to prescribe a common system of examination,
without also prescribing the course of instruction. And here the highest
honour is due to the promoters of the scheme, for their manful declaration
nguinat all those theories which confound education with apprenticeship.
The Universities have successfully resisted all attempts to degrade them
from being places of liberal education, as contrasted with mere profes-
sional training. There the future lawyer, statesman, clergyman, meet on
common ground, receive the same mental culture, study the same “ hn-
”’ and lay the basis of those wider sympathies which save the
professions (zo fur as they are saved) from the narrow spirit of caste and
clique. Such in its meusure and degree is the result at which these ex-
ations aim. ‘T'rue, examination can never supply the place of resi-
dence ; but the examination may at least witness to the fact that the edu-
cation of the tradesman and the farmer should, go far as it can go, be
liberal in like manner, such ag will render him in after life not lese a
tradesman, but more a man; not less a farmer, but more a citizen; with
wider sympathies, and class jealousies fewer and less narrow than those
which now mar the face of English life. The better class of schoolmasters
understand this, but the parents of their pupils do not, and hence the wel-
come with which this scheme has been received at their hands. To them
this scheme gives support and strength, while to the rest it gives guidance,
direction, and a stimulus to exertion. It may not, indeed, go the length
of “eliminating” (see Lord Lyttelton’s speech at Leeds) all the bad
schools in the country, but it will support the good ones, it will rouse the
Iunguid, and will give tone and reality in thousands of cases, where at pre-
sent there is nothing but a weak and purposeless routine. Mr. Acland in
his volume prints in extenso two letters from actual schoolmasters, Mr.
Barry of Leeds, and Mr. Templeton of Exeter, both of whom hailed the
proposed plan eo warmly, and whose letters confirm our view so definitely,
that we cannot but make some extracts from both of them. Moreover,
we believe that they are in reality only the spokesmen of a large class of
faithful and meritorious teachers, who may not possess the same readiness
of expression, or the same faculty of arresting the attention of a reader¢,

4 Mr. Acland expressly says, “If I were at liberty to reveal some of the private
communications which I received, they would melt the hearts of many by the tale
which they tell of the hopeless discouragements . . . . of which masters are sometimes
made the victims after doing their best.""—Acland, pp. 14, 16.

(Conetuaion.)

A mere fragment of an account remaining in the Rageman bag a
Chapter House gives sume idea of the large amount of property that «
into the hands of the Crown on the seizure of the Templars and their
sessions. It is a memorandum of payments by sheriffs and others int:
Exchequer apparently of balances that remained after they had discha
the various expenses attendant on the capture and the support fort
months or so of the Brethren. Of the nature and amount of these expe
we may form an idea by recurring to the account of the London she
already printed®, though those officials were perhaps less favourably pl
than others, as they had, at the end of their term of account, laid out 1
than they had received. But however that may have been, we have
eleven sheriffs and one custodian who pay into the Exchequer the sm
£328 3s. 11d. from eighteen counties; and as the Order had posses:
in every county, we can hardly be in excess in estimating their propert
four or five times as much—say, £1,500, or £30,000 a-year of our pre
currency,

It appears from the document before us, that on April 22, 1308, the
treasurer and barons of the Exchequer ordered their officers to receive {
sheriffs and others any moneys that they might bring, whether the proc
of the lands of the Templars, or of the sale of their live stock, and to
to all persons sv paying an indenture setting forth the nature and amv
of their payments, ‘The payments are as follow :—

The sheriff duly makes his return (No. 6), dated May 21 [or 24], 1309,
confirming the statement of John de Hoperton, and explaining that the
charters were granted partly for services rendered to the Order, partly in
consideration of twenty marks paid by the said John for the service of the
preceptory of Rybbestayn; and also that John, like a provident individual,
had paid twenty shillings for the obit to be celebrated on his behalf at some
future day. His claim was apparently allowed, as we meet with him
twenty-nine years after, a corrodary of Rybstayn, “per factum Templi',”
and also receiving a pension of forty shillings annually, the augmentation
being perhaps instead of the keep of his servant, who is not mentioned.

opposition has consequently partaken of all the bitterness of which religious
bigotry is capable. It may, therefore, be worth while enquiring to what
this bitter of opposition has been owing, and why the work iteelf was
not for so many years received in a manner worthier of its merits.

In dissenting from the Romish Church, King Henry carried the greater
part of the people with him, but not all; many staunch adherents remained
behind, and they were by no means silent respecting his conduct, and the
new doctrines he wished to introduce. On the other hand, the proposed
reforms, like more modern ones, raised people’s expectations too high, and
many were dissatistied with the talked-of tinality ; yet every fresh instalment
of reform was thrust upon the whole nation, they were to suit their faith to
the precise nature of the Act of Parliament, and believe neither more nor
less than was therein prescribed, a doctrine ayainst which both Romanizers
and advanced reformers protested, Discussion led to further enquiry, the
thinking power of the country was set in motion, and the John Bull of that
day, being vastly like the John Bull of the present, kicked; the more he
was urged the less he felt inclined to move, and doctrines and directions
which, under other circumstances, would have been generally received,
were strongly opposed.

After Henry came the minority of Edward the Sixth, and popular views
began to have more weight, but these views were put forth in as peremptory
a manner as those of the preceding r : the clergy were enjoined to make
a declaration against the Papal supremacy four times a-year, and they were
no longer to extol images, relics, or pilgrimages. Some of his Highness’s
subjects, however, thought too freely for the Council, and “ do not cease to
move contentions and suy erfluous questions of the holy Sacrament, entering
rashly into the disenssion of the high mystery thereof, and go about in
their sermons or talk arrogantly to define the manner, nature, fashion,
's, possibility or impossibility of these matters ;” and, consequently,
“the King’s Highness willeth and commaadeth that no person do in any-
wise contentiously and openly argue, dispute, teach, or preach: and
all persons were commanded to “ take that holy Bread to be Christ’s Body,
and that Cup to be the cup of His holy Blood.” Any one talking too
‘iling these orders, to be imprisoned,

Discussion could not be prevented, and such an order as that quoted
would necessarily raixe a stiong feeling of opposition to anything emanating
from the same quarter; besides which, Cranmer and the other members of
the council were not agreed among themselves respecting these very doc-
thines; but in order to stop impertinent enquiries a grand remedy was
proposed, and in September, 1548, all preaching was for a time interdicted,
the Homilies only were to be read in churches.

The first Book of Cominon Prayer made its appearance in March, 1549 ;

THE ROMAN WALLS OF DAX.

‘Mr. Unpax,—You have already advo-
cated the preservation of the remarkable
mural fortification of the ancient town of
Dax, now being destroyed by order of its
Town Council. The exertions of M. Léo
Drouyn and M. de Caumont have, it ap-
pears, failed, for at the present moment
the walls are being levelled; and I was
told that although the Muyor and most of
the better class of the residents regretted
the vandalism, yet the shopocrats bad car-
ried the day, and the whole of the walls,
or the greater and better part, were doomed
to fall.

Having recently visited Dax, I now feel
entitled to speak from personal obeerva-
tion. Most of the Roman walls of the
ancient cities of France have been de-

stroyed, or they have been so mutilated
and repaired that their original features
are only to be partially recognised, as at
Sens, Tours, Vienne, Narbonne, Autan, &c.
Many towns still conspicuous for their an-
cient monuments do not possess a trace of
their original walls, or only a vestige here
and there, such as Rheims, Lica: and Mar-
seilles. In our own country we possess,
in spite of Town Council and speculations
of all kinds, some few interesting remains
of Roman walls, as, for instance, at Col-
chester, Pevensey, Richborough, &., and
viewed by the architect,
and the historian with
great interest. But neither England nor
France possesses any example equal in
geod preservation to the walls of Dax. It

Warburton was aman of high character
and integrity, and was universally re-
speted.

Tomas Assurtox SaiTH, Esq.

Sept. 9. At his seat at Vaenol, near
Bangor, North Wales, Thomas Assheton
Smith, Esq., of Tedworth, a gentleman
whose deeds in days gone by were chroni-
celed by the immortal “ Nimrod,” and whose
renown had reached even to the cars of the
great Napoleon, by whom, on reception at
the French Court, he was saluted as “Le
premier chassenr a’ Angleterre.”

Mr. Assheton Smith commenced fox-
hunting in his early days, and was well
Known in sporting circles as a miracle on
horseback. After hunting in Northainpton-
shire he collected a first-rate pack from dif-
ferent kennels, the best portion of which
he purcha-ed of Mr. Musters, of Colwick-
hall, for 1,000 guincas, when the last-
named gentleman gaveup the Nottingham-
shire country. With a fine stud of horses
and hounds he bought the Quorn of Lord
Foley in 1805, and after “keeping the
game alive” for twelve years, he left that
county and took his stud to Lincoln to
work tie Burton Hunt. He held this
capital county for nine years, leaving in
1826, when he was succeeded by Sir
Richard Sutton.

On succerding to his parental property
in Wilts and Hants in 1826, he imme-
diately renmved with his establishment to
the halls of his forefathers, and commenerd
t e work, under circumstances of such
novelty to him, with all the ardour that
characterised his débvt at Quorn, The
erection of kennels and stables was con-
red as le-s necessary than the rebuild-
ing of the family mansion; and both were
completed with as much magnificence as
could be blended with uti Some idea
may be formed of this prine
we inform our readers that the conser-
vatory (which is joined by a corridor 965
fe-t im length, ucecessible either from the
house or the stables) measures 310 feet in
length, and 40 fret in width, Here are
ranged thousands of plunts, of every ima-
ginable hue, in the most healthy and bean-
tiful conditi n. In short, the arrange-
ments in connexion with this magnificent
establishment justly ravk among the first
in the country. We may remark that the
late Mr. Smith’s establi ent of horses
and hounds, as regarded quality, might be
equalled, but could not be surpassed by
any in England, ‘The stables contain thirty-
nine horses, in fine condition; and the
kennels about ninety couple of working
hounds—the pack of bitches are perfect

beauties. The hounds were usually worked
six days a-week, Mr. Smith, when in fall
vigour, taking them out on Mondays,
Tursdays, ‘Thuredays, and Fridays, and bis
veteran huntsman, Carter, on Wednesdays
and Saturdays, the latter principally in
woodlands. (r. Smith’s advancing years
have of late rendered him incapable of
sustaining the fatigues of the chase as in
earlier tim: s, and daring the last season the
hunting was confined to four days a week.

The grand “open day” at Tedworth
was always signalized by a public break-
fast on a grand scale. This sumptuous
repast was urually laid out in the dining-
room, the splendid gold plate and cups
decorating the tables, together with the
famed statuette of the Duke of Welling-
ton. These magnificent gatherines were
attended by the wh»le of the neighbouring
gentry and yeomanry, and at the last
public breakfast, in November, 1857, when
the pack was bronght out in front of the
house, the worthy squire was surrounded
by upwards of 600 ladies and gentlemen
on horseback.

As an instance of the courage of the
late Mr. Assheton Smith, we will relate
an anecdote, which was recorded by the
original Nimrod at the time the circum-
stances occurred, It was during the last
year that Mr. Smith hunted Leicester-
shire. He had a run of 19 miles point
blank, which is well known even to this
day by the name of the “Belvoir-day.”
It so linppened that the pace was so good
and the country so severe that no one was
with the hounds towards the last, except
the Squire of Tedworth and Mr. John
White, a well-known sporteman of that
day. ‘They happened to come to a fence
so high and strong that there was only
one place that appeared at ull practicable,
and this was in the line Mr. White was
taking. The consequence was, Mr. Smith
was obliged to turn to this place, expect-
ing to find Mr. White well over; but in-
stead of thishe found him what is called
“well bullfinched,” ii i
hedge. “Get on,” Mr. Smith.
cannot,” said Mr. Whi “T am fast.”
“Ram the spurs into him,” exclaimed Mr.
Smith, “and pray get out of the way.”
“Tang it,” said Mr. White, “if you are
in such a hurry why don’t you charge
me?” Mr. Smith did not speak, but did
charge him, and sent him and his horse
into the next field, when away they went
again as if nothing hnd happened, the
Squire, of course, soon making to the front.

A remarkable ran with Mr. Smith’s
hounds when in Leicester is thus chroni-

cled by Nimrod :—

Scpt.3. At the residence of Thrmas
Delarur, Exy., the Hassela, Sundy, Beds,
aged Gs, Mr. Thomas Bonwr Croa.pton,
of Farnworth Mill-, Lancashi

He was bern May 20, 1792, at Farn-
worth, a place which owes its rise from
the olscurity of a rural hamlet to its pre-
sent populous and prosperous emdition in
great purt to the enterprise of Mr. Cromp-
ton’s family. His grandfather hai! a paper
mill ard bleach works at Great Lever,
about hilt a mile distant from the existing
Farnworth Mills. Perceiving what an eli-
gible site Farnworth presented for mana-
facturin:: purposes, he obtained a lease of
the property from the late Duke of Bridg-
water, and ‘built a paper mill and bleach
works upon it. His son Jubn, the father
of the subject of the present memoir, suc-
ceeded to those works, and bult Rock
Hall as a residence. He was not, however,
permitted to occupy it, having died at the
very period of its completion, leaving three
sons, Jolin, Robert, and Thomas Bonsor.
The cl-lrst and youngest became partners
in the Farnworth Mills. John, the eldest
brother, died in 1933, leaving a widow,
without issue. From that period to the
time of his own death, last week, Mr. T.
B. Crompton was the ole proprietor of
that extensive concern, He was amongst
the first to turn the waste of cotton mills
to account in the manufacture of paper,
and was certainly cne of the foremost who
applied fibrous material in its raw con-
dition to that purpose. He was always
searching fur new materials, and contrived
several mechanical appliances fur utilisé
fibres hitherto considered unsuitable for
being made into paper. From his many
trunsactions with the metropolitan and
ul press, Mr. Crompton became an
extensive newspaper proprietor. There

PALACE OF KING JOHN
AT STEPNEY.

A paragraph has been going the round
of the papers, calling upon the archwolo-
gists to make a stir, in order to preserve
the eristing remains of this stracture.
The principle is a good one, were the facts
only ts be relied ; unfortunately it
so happens that the palace of King John
at Stepney was entirely destroyed some
centuries ago, and the existing building,
which may be on the same site, is a com-
mon brick building, of which no portion
is earlier than the time of James I, if so
early, and such as it is, has been muti-
lated and patched, until there is nothing
worth preserving. This is not the only
instance in which we have found the
newspapers crying wolf, until their testi-
mony and their accuracy come to be en-
tirely disregarded. We believe that even
the venerable Society of Antiquaries would
be quite ready to stir in sach a case, if the
facts had been as stated by the newspapers.

‘A similar paragraph appeared some time
since respecting the picturesque dresses
worn by the yeomen of the guard, which,
it was said, were to be discontinued, the
fact being. that plain dresses were ordered
to be provided for the yeomen while on
every-day duty at the Tower and else-
where, and the state dresses reserved for
state occasions.

gilding are employed. In the rich examples of Kerdeston
and Cawne (Stothard, pls. 64 and 77), a decoration of gems
and goldsmiths’-work is represented by delicate carving,
painting and gilding.

The Continuator of the Chronicle of Nangis notices the
rich belts of the French under the year 1356 :—“ Ifoe anno
tumen adhue magis se incesperunt sumptuose deformare,
perlas et margaritas in capuciis ct zonis deauratis et ar-
gentcis deportare, seminis diversis et lapidibus preciosis se
per totum curiosius adornare ; et in tantum se curiose
omnes, a magno usque ad parvum, de talibus lasciviis
cooperichant, “quod perke ct lapides magno pretio vende-
bantur, et vix Parisius poterant talia reperiri. Unde re-
cordor me vidisse tales duas perlas vel margaritas, quas
quidam dudum emerat pro octo denariis, eas tamen illo
tempore vendidit decem libris?.”

The enriched knightly belt was sometimes prolonged,
and the portion hanging free beyond the clasp or buckle
was called the Pendant, ‘These pendants were highly
adorned, terminating usually with an ornament of a cir-
cular or lozenge form. FE xamples are found in the monu-
ments of Kerdeston (Stothard, pl. 64), Arden (Hollis, pt. 4),

the procession, at the left hand of the monarch, bearing the
naked sword of the victorious Lancaster. The Earl received
the Isle of Man in feo “for himself and his heirs, for the
service of carrying the Sword at the present and all future
Coronations’.” It often appears in state documents of the
next century under the name of the “ Lancaster Sword.”

The sword of the military adventurer, even of knightly
dignity, is sometimes called the gugne-pain or win-bread
(wyn-brod), signifying that it is to his brand the soldier
must look for the advancement of his fortune. A very
clear definition is afforded by a poem of this century, the
Pélerinage du Monde, by Guigneville :—

« Dont i est gaigne-pains nommé,
Car par li est gaigniés li pains.”

Occasionally the knight was armed with two swords, as
in the case of a sturdy English captain named Holgrave,
who in 1372 was campaigning “ncar Guienne :”—“ Et en
un village prés de Mont-Lucon estoit logé un de leurs
capitaines, appellé le grand David Olegreve, qui estoit Pun
des grands hommes qu’on peust veoir, ct des orgueilleux, et
portoit deux espécs, une ceinte et autre 4 VParcon de la
sclle*.” We have seen that, for the duel with William
Douglas in 1368, Thomas de Erskyn provides “ unum
ensem longum, unum ensem curtum ct unum cultellum*”

Much mischief having accrued from the common custom
of wearing arms in time of peace, an edict was issued in
London in 1319, forbidding this practice ; and, as we learn
from the “Chronicle of London” under that year, many
swords were taken from the people and “ hung against
Ludgate, both within and without the city :’—“ En cele
an furent les espeyes defenduz, qe homme ne les portast,
par quey moutz despeyes furent pris et penduz desus Lud-
gate dedeinz et de hors".”

The Baselard, or Badelaire, was the sword worn by
civilians, and is scen in many monumental effigies of the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, suspended from the girdle
of the “gown.” The example here given is from a brass
at Sombourne, Hants, about 1880. The basclard appears
to have been of two kinds, the straight and the curved.

in 1378, we learn that he was * grand chevalier et dure-

aunes. A peine la piit un autre homme lever sus de terre,
mais elle ne lui coitoit néant 4 manier, et en donnoit des

SKEICH OF THE LIFE OF WALTER DE MERTON,
PoC SDLE OF MEATUS WULLEuE, OXEURD.
CHAPTER IV.
FROM THE FUCSDATION OF HIS COLLEGE TO HIS DEATH.

At the close of chapter I. our attention was called off from fol
lowing the thread of the founder's life to the consideration of th
greatest surviving achievement of kis life, the foundation of hi

We must now resume that thread from 1264, and state such few
facts as are known of his ory during the remaining thirteer
years of his vigorous and useful career. In doing this, we must
stand excused if we recapitulate a few facts which have been
already mentioned in connection with the foundation of the
college,

In 1265-6 we find him busy in acquiring property in Oxford.
He purchased in 1265 two tenements® situate east of the church
of St. Jolin, (vid. supra, p. 14,) and also obtained a grant from the
abley of Reading of a mansion west of that church, to which the
right of the patronage > appertained.

The deed of purchase of the second house brings to light a
curious fact. The owner, Jacob, son of Master Mossey the . Jew,
of London, had let the house for the residence of Thomas and
Antony Bek, sons of the Baron of Grimsthorpe, Lincolnshire, who
must have been boys following their academical studies. The
seller therefore remits part of the price, in consideration of his
tenants being allowed to remain for the next three years from
Michael It scems probable that the founder took them under
his charge, and reccived them as, what have since been called,
fellow-commoners, for he became attached to the younger Antony,
who was afterwards (1250) known as the Fighting Bishop > of Durham,
and titular Patriarch of Jerusalem, and he bequeathed to him his
best gold ring.

On Oct. 5, 1205, the king granted to the founder, by the title of
Canon of St. Paul’ ‘a8 marsh or fen called la More‘, Teputed an-

This charter makes no difference in the constitution of the
It is still the Domus apud Meandon™ (Maldon., with its

an 1 indication of the coming change, in the provision that the trans-
lation of the college should not void any legal rights of property,
as long as there was no union with any other coliege. A pro-
vision, too, occurs for the annual re-union of the divided portions
of the body, reaniring that cight or ten of the seniors should yearls,
on the feast of St. Kenelm ‘July 17+, repair to the house at Mal-
don, “in signum proprictatis et dominii',” and then inquire into
the Warden's administration of the estates, with leave to extend
their stay to cizht or ten days

A note at the end of this charter ought not to go unnoticed.
“ Mem, quod de manerio de Kibworth sustentari debent pro anima

This provision dese remark not only for its historical import,
as shewing that the close connection which existed between the
founder and that yery important: personage, Richard, King of the
Romans, passed on to his son, but as indicating an intention of
having a second class of scholars, “secundarii,” receiving a smaller
allocation, and for only three quarters of the year. I believe that
this intention was never carried out, but for what cause Tam q
unable to state. A similar cirenmstance occurred in the neigh-
bouring estate of Barkby: the estate was conveyed in the following
year, 1271", by Robert. son of Peter de Perey, to the college ®,
subject to the maintenanee of three chaplains to celebrate for the
souls of the whole royal family, but I know no evidence of this
condition being observed,

FREDERICK THE GREAT*.

; portion of Mr. Carlyle's great work which is now published has
equal claims to admiration as a faithful history and an exquisite masterpiece
of art. As a history, it bears upon the face of it evidence of immense
labour in sifting from immeasurable heaps of literary lamber the few scraps
of precious truth which had lain buried in them—labour alike of patient
delving and of pninful judging amongst materials which his own Drvas-
dust himself, in spite of their athuity with his own nature, might have been
exp: ¢ upon with dread, To have elicited by this toil a full,
and clear, and quite original account, not solely of the hero of the book as
fur ns the nariative extends at present, but of ull those events and pergons
also by who the hero's character or state was influenced, is, strictly, the
«triumph; whilst that of the artist manifests itself’ in the
ent of hit vast mass of facts, in the life and strength and

wpired, in the graphic foree and beauty of occasional descriptions, and,
most of all, in the wondrous skill with which these various qualities are
made to co-operate with a startling humour and with strange wild images
in giving unexampled condensation to his speech. But in both these re-
“ta, both aa conscientious record and consummate work of art, Mr. Car-
yie's present History dillers rather in degree than kind from many of his
catlicy compositions, ‘Che homage which is paid to his genius now has

The exger welcome which this History of Frederick has re-

account of what has been accomplished by his predeccsgors
derick's history is far from complimentary. The man, his

mena, all three, to the intelligent part of mankind.” In Prussia outward
details have been sought with stubborn diligence, but no scientific inter-
pretation of them has been ever made; whilst in France and England there
has been the more delusive process of * great promptitude to interpret,”
with an immense ignorance of outward facts. Amongst ourselves, too,
national interests have had much to do in delineating what has passed
current for the character of Frederick, When he opposed Maria Theresa,
whom George the Second sided with in the Austrian Succession war, he
a robber and a put when our English monarch was allied with
in the Seven Ye war, he was ‘one of the greatest soldicrs ever
and by a combination of these characteristics English writers have
imaged to themselves, according to Mr. Carlyle, “a royal Dick Turpin, of
the kind known in review-articles and disquisitions on progress of the
epecies,” and have labelled it Frederick. To reverse this judgment, and to

Mostly, too, they had money by them, which was a rare advantage signally
conducive to the great success to which their other gifts helped them. It
was, in fact, by the co-operation of these circumstances—by the concurrent
influences of wisdom, courage, honesty, and cash—that the broad stream
of their prosperity was caused. Within a hundred years from the time of
Conrad, his great-grandson added the margraviate or principality of Culm-
bach to the Nurnberg heritage; and with these were joined afterwards
Brandenburg and Prussia.

‘The acquisition of this Culmbach territory was a memorable etride in the
good fortune of the Hvhenzollerns, and it was made, too, by one of their
most memorable men. This Burggraf, Friedrich the Third, of Nirnberg,
ig indeed described by Mr. Carlyle as ‘the second notable architect of the
family houee :’’—one of the most important and the worthiest men in Ger-
many during the stormy times in which he lived; a man able alike in
council and in war, and, to that Kaiser Rudolf from whom his recompenses
came, ‘a steady helper, friend, and first-man in all things, to the very
end.” This was the first hereditary Burggraf, and it was by a descendant
of his, in the beginning of the fifteenth century, that Brandenburg was
added in its turn to the possessions of the house. But Brandenburg was
at first a sorely encumbered property. The baronage of the country had
for a time been living the life of freebooters, and when Burggraf Friedrich
the Sixth came to it ‘‘as the representative of law and rule,” his welcome
from these “noble robber-lords” was far from being hearty. Everywhere
throughout the electorate they had discouraged industry by making pro-
perty insecure; they worried and robbed the towns; levied tolls and
trausit-dues on passing merchandise ; and sallied out at times from their
stone fortresses to lift—as it is elsewhere called—whole herds of swine, or
convoys of “ merchant-goods that had not contented them in passing.” It
was Friedrich’s aim to bring back security and the authority of luw, and
his manner of dealing with the chief offenders presents a good example of
the patience and the firmness of purpose common to the Hohenzollerns.
For more than a year he persevered in the attempt to re-establish order by
persuasive means, and it was only when he had come to be regarded as a
Niirnburg plaything by the noble lords that he quelled their disobedience
by a few resolute blows. The Lord of Quitzow was the first to whom his
new method of remonstrance was addressed. Gathering his Frankish men-
at-arms about him, and borrowing some artillerr—amongst which a twenty-
four-pounder, called “ Heavy Peg,” was conspicuous—trom some of his
neighbouring potentates, Friedrich proceeded to the fortress of Friesack,
which was Quitzow’s stronghold. ‘The issue of the parley and the conflict
that ensued is briefly told by Mr. Carlyle in these words :—

“You Dietrich von Quitzow, are you prepared to live as a peaceable subject hence-
forth; to do homage to the laws and ine #’— Never!’ answered Quitzow, and pu'led
up hia drawbridge. Whereupon Heavy Peg opened upon him, Heavy Peg and other

residence at Reinsberg, a mansion in that Ruppin territory of which Fre-
derick was the governor :—
“ Friedrich’s happiest timo,” Mr, Carlyle says, “ was this at Reinsberg; the little four
ears of hope, composure, realisable idealism: an actual snatch of something like the
idyllic, appointed him in a life-pilgrimage consisting otherwise of realisms often con-
tradictory enough, and sometimes of very grim complexion. Ie is master of his work,
he is adjusted to the practical conditions set him ; conditions once complied with, daily
work done, he lives to the muses, to the spiritual improvements, to the social enjoy-
ments; and has, though not without flaws of ill weather,—from the Tobacco-Parlia-
ment, perhaps, rather less than formerly, and from the finance-quarter perhaps rather
more,—a sunny time. His innocent insipidity of a wife, too, appears to have been
happy. Sho had the charm of youth, of good tooks—a wholesome perfect loyalty of
character withal: and did not ‘take to pouting,’ as was once apprehended of her, but
pleasantly gave and received of what was going. This poor Crown-Princess, afterwards
Queen, has been heard, in her old age, reverting, in a touching transient way, to the
gisd days she had at Reinsberg. Complaint openly was never heard from her, in any
ind of days; but these doubtless were the best of her life.”

A beautiful apartment in one of the towers of this mansion was the
library of the Crown-Prince; where, “ silentas in Elysium,” with the lake,
and high beech-woods, and distant country visible from the window, “ we
are to fancy the correspondence written, the poetries and literary industries
going on.” ‘There, surrounded by associates of his own choice,—men of
worth generally, and of such intelligence and wit as might be had,—and
with his door open to the literary eminences and the followers of philosophy
whom chance or business drew near him, we may imagine how the charm
of his existence was enhanced by contrast with the suffering of preceding
years. Of these happicr times, Mr. Carlyle says, ‘‘ he loved intellect as few
men on the throne or off it ever did; and the little he could gather of it
round him often seems to me a fact tragical rather than otherwise.” To
Frederick, in truth, at Reinsberg, and ever afterwards, “ the chief thinker in
the world” was Voltaire, of his correspondence with whom, as well as with
other celebrities, a copious and amusing detail is afforded in the second of
these volumes, But of this chief thinker, we must look for a still more
entertaining notice, in future, and we hope forthcoming, portions of this
unexampled history.

There, too, we must look for the chronicle of what was best, as well as
most glorious, in the character and being of the great Frederick. The
volumes now published are, in truth, only an introduction to the true sub-
ject of Mr. Carlyle’s work ; but they are an introduction rich in strength
and beauty, which, like a vestibule of faultless architectural art, raises high
our expectations of the magnificence of that which we are eagerly im-
patient to behold.

THE LATEST LIFE OF MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS*.

Most people, we believe, incline to the opinion that quite enough has
been already written on the question of the guilt or innocence of the too-
celebrated Scottish Queen, a question that divided her contemporaries, and
can hardly be expected to be satisfactorily determined now, after the lapse
of three centuries. Such, however, is not the view of the lady writer who
has made a long series of English Queens pass in review before us, and
in these book-making days it is no wonder that she has presented us with
the modest addition of 2,000 pages to the literature (and perhaps to the
difficulties) of the subject. Whether the matter, if necessary to be treated
on at all, ought to have assumed such proportions, it is now too late to in-
quire, but we may be allowed to endeavour to find out whether the result
is equal to the pains bestowed by the authoress, and the tax levied on the
time and purse of the public.

We venture to say that it is not, and this for reasons that may possibly
appear conclusive to our readers: (1.) that the book is almost as much a
biography of Miss Agnes Strickland as of Queen Mary Stuart; and (2.)
that ‘the documentary evidences .. . which reviewers have neither patience
nor inclination to enter into,” and which our authoress is so proud of dis-
playing, really add very little to what was known before.

(1.) The autobiographical portions of the work lead us to believe that
not a corner of France, or Lorraine, or England, or Scotland, that can be
in any way connected with the career of Mary Stuart has been left unvisited
by her admiring biographer. Such a labour of love is all very well, but we
could be quite content to infer it as the groundwork of the word-pictures
of Linlithgow, and Stirling, and Fontainebleau, and Tutbury, and Fother-
inghay, and could spare the itinerary, as well as the story of the “ chival-
rous” and “ teetotal” boatman of Lochleven (vol. v. p, 342), and the almost
Indicrous picture which the authoress presents of herself,—candle and cab-
bage-leaf in hand, and afraid of setting fire to her “ white lace veil, Leg-
horn bonnet, or shawl,”"—while endeavouring, in imitation of the Scottish
Queen, to explore the gloomy recesses of Poole’s Hole, in the Peak (vol.
vii. p. 196). Then, too, a general acknowledgment of information given to
her would have served the public quite as well as the eternal repetition
of the kindness of her noble friends the Marquess of Breadalbane, Lord
Morton, Sir Archibald Campbell, or (a name less known to fame) Mrs.
Skene of Pitlour. But in that case the five volumes of “ Mary Stuart”
would shrink into three, or perhaps two.

(2.) Our lady author’s pages bristle with formidable notes,—“ State
Paper MS. inedited,” “ From the French autograph,” “ From the Archives
of the Earl of Leven,” “From the Sempill family papers,” “ Capitoline
MS. at the Vatican,” &c. &c., and any one who ventures to dissent from her
view of the rarity and importance of these documents, which have enabled

Regal Succession in Great Britain. By Agnes Strickland, Author of ‘ Lives of the

582 The latest Life of Mary Queen of Scots. [Dec.

“The name of Mary Stuart hus thrown that of every other queen of Scotland into
the shade. She appears to represent in her single person the female royalty of that
realm, having absorbed the interest pertaining to all the other princesses who, pre-
vioualy to ber brief’ reign, presided over the courts of Dunfermline, Stirling, and Holy-
rood, ulbeit several of those ladies played distinuished parts in their day, whether as
Queen-consorts, Queen-mothers, or Queen-regents ; but Mary Stuart is exclusively the
Queen of Scots—Queen not only of the realm, but of the people ; and with all ber
faults, real or imputed, she remains to this day the peculiar object of nutional
enthusiasin in Scotland. Iler memory haunts the desolate palaces where every peasant
is eager to recount traditionary lore connected with her personal history. Not a
castellaicd mansion of the sixteenth ceutury but boasts some quaint-looking room,
which is emphatically pointed out as Queen Mury’s chamber. Every old family
possesses a painting, for which the distinction of au original portrait of Queen Mary
is claimed. ‘Tresses of every shade of golden, auburn, and chesnut, are preserved, and
fondly exhibited as ‘well-attested portions of her hair.’ Persons who denounce the
relic veneration of the Romish Church as idolatrous, enshrine a glove, a fan, a super-
annuated watch, or any other trinket supposed to have belonged to Queen Mary,
their choicest treasures, to be handed down as heir-looms in their families,
‘iety of articles thus preserved and hallowed for her sake is almost incredible.
Queen Mary’s mirrors und cabinets appear interminable; und as to the antique chairs
of carved oak and ebony with which their present possessors have endowed her, t
are numerous enough to supply seats for all her descendants, who, be it remem!
arc to be found on almost every throne in Europe.”—(Vol. iii. pp. 1, 2.)

From her education in the gay court of France, Mary might reasonably
be expected to exhibit a decided taste for all the elegancies of life, and so,
we learn, she did; it is also quite certain that she acted with kindness and
good sense in the carlier part of her career; that these matters should be
quite as manifest in the many dreary years of her prison-life it were unrea-
sonable to expect, yet even in them we find her surrounded with elegant
trifles, as rich dresses and jewellery, and both willing and able to reward
her faithful adherents, to a much greater extent than was heretofore sup-
posed; but we must in candour add, that these things were revealed by
Prince Labanoff's Recueil des Lettres de Marie Stuart, and Miss Strick-
land can only claim the credit of bringing together some of the chief par-
ticulars of his valuable work :—

“ Mary lived in an atmosphere of clegance as regarded her personal habits. She ate
moderately, but she liked her table to be trimly set and daintily served. Her board-
cloths and napkins were of the finest quality, fringed and embroidered with bullion and
coloured silks—a qucenly fashion, which gave employment to female hands, She in-
troduced the fashion of having the claws and beaks of the roasted partridges and moor-
fowl, that were served at her table, silvered and gilt. She rose carly in the morning,
and transacted much business while walking in the garden. On horticulture she be-
stowed great attention, and introduced exotic fruits, flowers, and vegetables, into the
gardens of her country pulaces, rarely visiting a strange place without planting a tree
with her own hands. ‘Ihe-e were long pointed out, and consecrated by tradition as
memoritls of her. She was fond of pets of every kind, especially dogs and birds; but
she doated on children. She loved her attendant ladics, and treated them with the
greatest indulgence. No instance of ill-nature, envy, or tyranny towards her own eex,
has ever been recorded of Mary, but, on the contrary, her privy-purse expenses and
private letters abound with characteristic traits of her benevolence and gencrosity.”—
(Vol. iii. p. 368.)

On the all-important subject of dress we have very much more than we
care to copy, but the following may be allowed pour les dames :—

“A portrait of Queen Mary, mounted on her white palfrey, is in the possession of
the Baroness Braye, which, although painted by an artist who certainly did not possess
the power of depicting female grace and beauty, is curious, as affording a specimen of
her equestrian dreas on state occasions. She is almost as much loaded with jewels and
gold embroidery as her good sister of England, and is dressed in the like fashion, only

er ruff is of loss imposing height and amplitude. Her palfrey is trapped with purple

embroiled with “ honest John Knox,” and albeit she bore all his harsh re-
bukes with superhuman patience, according to her biographer, though not
according to him, at last she was fain to quit the metropolis and retreat to
St. Andrews, where she seems to have cast off the cares of state to some
purpose. We are not sure that all our readers will take Miss Strickland’s
view of it—as “ pure, and lovely, and of good report :’—

“Queen Mary left Edinburgh on the 19th of January, 1565, and after spending a
few days at Balmerinoch, arrived at St, Andrews on the 28th. ‘As for Edinburgh, it
likes our ladies nothing,’ writes Knox, in one of his secret-information letters to the
English Secretary of States. Ie and his followers hud indeed, by their offensive re-
marks on her balls, concerts, and banquets, and, above all, their unjustifiable personal
observations on her and her fair attendants, succeeded in disgusting the young high-
spirited sovercign with her metropolis. She came there at last no oftener than was
imperatively necessary, and escaped as soon as she could from the espionage and im-

rtinent comments to which she too often found herself exposed. St, Andrews was

wr favourite city of refuge: while there, she took up her abode neither at her own
palace nor the more splendid residence of the wealthy Prior-Earl of Moray, but at
the house of one of the loyal burgesses, where, attended by her four Maries, and a
few other chosen friends, she exchanged the fatiguing ceremonies and parade of royalty
for the repose and comfort of domestic life*. Golden days for St. Andrews those, when
a private individual of the commercial class possessed a mansion spacious and well-
appointed enough to accommodate the sovereign of the realm, and her personal suite—
a fact that testifies somewhat for the state of trade, the beneficial influence of the
Stuart sovereigns on the internal prosperity of the industrial portion of their subjects,
and the advance of civilizativn. Mary was not allowed to enjoy her retreat long unin-
terrupted ; for Randolph followed her, about the 1st of February, with a packet from
his own mistress on the subject of her marriage with Leicester. ‘So soon as time
served, writes he to Elizabeth, I did present the same, which being read, and, as it
appeared by her countenance, very well liked, she suid little to me for that time. The
next day she passed wholly in mirth, “and would not,” as she said openly, “ be other-
wise than quiet and merry.” Her Grace lodged in a merchant’s house ; in her train
were very few, and there was small repair fiom any part. Ter will was, that, for the
time I did tarry, I should cine and sup with her. Your Majesty was oftentimes drunken
unio by her at dinners and suppers. Having in this sort coutinued with her Grace
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, I thought it time to take occasion to utter to her that
which last I received in command from your Majsiy by Mr. Sccretary’s letter, which
was to know her resolution tonching those matters propounded at Berwick by my Lord
of Bedford and me to wy Lords of Moray and Lethington. I had no sooner spoken
these words but she saith, “I see now well that you are weary of this company and
treatment. 1 sent for you to be merry, and to sve how, like a bourgeoise wife, I live
with my little troop; and you will interrupt our pastime with your grave and great
matters. I pray you, Sir, if you be weary here, return home to Edinburgh, and keep
your gravity and great ambassade until the Queen come thither ; for I assure you you
shall not get her here, nor I know not myself where she is become. You see neither
cloth of esiate, nor such appearance that you may think that there is a Queen here;
nor I would not that you rhould think that Iam she at St. Andrews that I was at
Edinburgh.” ‘1 said,’ continues Randolph, ‘that I w:s very sorry for that, for that ab
Edinburgh she suid, “ that she did love the Queer, my mistress, better than any other ;”
and now I marvelled how her mind was altered. It pleased her at this to be very
merry, and called me by more names than were given me in my cbristendom. At
those merry conccits much good sport was made. “ But well, Sir,” saith she, “that
which then I spoke in words shall be co: firmed io my good sister, your wistress, in
writing. Before you go out of this town, you shall have a letter unto her; and for
yourself, go where you will, I care no more for you.” ‘The next day,’ proceeds his Ex-
cellency, ‘1 was willed to be at my ordinary table, and placed the next person (saving
worthy Beton) to the Qucen’s self’ As Randolph was at that time apparently much
enamourcd of the fair Mary Beton, her royal namesake and mistress indulgently
humoured the courtship by placing her beside him at the festive board, where stately

their persuasion that one at least of the heavy charges against her was
groundless. We think that Miss Strickland has made less than she might
of this—peihaps by way of balancing the undue weight ascribed to her
“inedited MSS.”

Bothwell, as may be supposed, is the béte noir of the book, and, though
it cannot be denied that he was brave, and faithful to Mary when few others
were so, and, wonderful to relate, could and did refuse the “ English gold”
for which so many of the elders of the Congregation sold both themselves
and their country, no epithet is too bad for him. He too is represented
as amuch greater fool than other writers have taken him for. He was
“stammering” and “one-eyed” (a fit object for the love of a beautiful
queen), and such an egregious dolt that he was, almost as much as Mary
herself, the dupe of Moray and Morton. At least so says Miss Strickland,
and therefure it is, we presume, that she deems him unworthy of a full-
length portrait. This honour she reserves for his tempters, and her pic-
tures are such gems in their way, that we cannot forbear to cite them :—

“The person of the Regent Moray has been as much mistaken, in modern times, as
his character. The engravings that have been published as his portrait, by Lodge,
M‘Crie, and others, are erroneous, having, in reality, been taken from that of King
James VI.* The only authentic portrait of the Regent Moray in existence is in the
collection of his descendant and representative the present Earl of Moray, at Doni-
bristle House, where it was discovered a few years ago, with that of his Countess, con-
cealed behind a panel. Moray is there represented as handsome, but with a sinister
expression of countenance, bearing, in features and complexion, a decided resemblance
to his great-uncle Henry VIII. His hair is light-red, his eyes grey, his nose regularly
formed, mouth small, with thin lips twisted into a deceitful smile; the face is very
smooth, fair, and of a square contour; in short, a Tudor in all respects, bat with the
air of a diplomatic priest rather than a soldier. He wears a black-velvet flat cap,
richly decornted with pearla, and is habited in a closely-fitting black-velvet doublet,
ornamented with three rows of large pearl buttons. Ifis Countess is also dressed in
black velvet, but loaded with jewels, Her little black-velvet hat, of the fashion familiar
to us in some of Queen Mary's portraits, is surmounted with a diadem-frontlet of
gems, every alternate ornament being a miniature of the crown of Scotland, presump-
tuously assumed by her as the consort of him who exercised the power of the realm ;
that power of which the regal garland was the bauble type. Moray did not arrogate
to himself the toys of royalty, being satisfied with the eubstance, whereof they are the
shadow. But ladies love toys, and his Countess gratified her pride and vanity by
flaunting in the regal decorations belonging to her sovereign, which she obstinately
refused tu return to their rightful owner, after the ‘ good Regent’s’ death had deprived
her of the slightest pretext for detaining either the crown-jewels or Queen Mary’s per-
sonal property.”—(Vol. vii. pp. 61, 62.)

“The curions original portrait of Morton, at Dalmahoy House, shews he was a Judas
in complexion as well as character. He wears the Geneva hat, with high sloping crown
and narrow brims, resembling a reversed pan or jar; but it neither conceals the villan-
ous contour of his retreating forehead, nor the sinister glance of the amall grey eyes
peering from under his red shaggy brows. The very twist of his crooked nose is ex-
pressive of craft and cruelty; the long upper lip, hollow mouth, and flat square chin,
are muffled in a bush of red moustache and beard ; but the general outline is most re-
pulsive, and bespeaks the hypocrite, the sensualist, the assassin, and the miser,—and
all these he was. His talents were, however, such as enabled him to make men of
greater abilitics his tools and stepping-stones to the seat of empire.”—(Vol. v. p. 100.)

It will be seen from our extracts that the work is of the gossipping,
cursive kind, and therefore we are less surprised than we should otherwise
be at meeting with similes and phrases which seem rather below the dignity

* “The portraits of James VI. in youth and early manhood are almost as handsome
ax those of his son Charles I. Those who compare his effigies on his gold bonnet-piece
with the so-called portraits of the Regent Moray, will perevive it is the same person.”

when, in any quarter from which a rati opinion mizht be expected, such representa-
tions are ly to be regarded as the mere eballition of a barren enthusiasm, narrow in

eyes are not utterly closed to the progress, methods, elements of scientific i inquiry, even
if the ultimate scope of archaclogy be but faintly before him, will be likely to forget
the anulacies supplied by the whole circle of the sciences, and to say,—lIs it worth
undertaking even this small awount of trouble and expense, to gather a few more relics
of stone or of bone, of bronze, of gold, or of clay, mere evidences of social phases that
have passed away. . .

“It may possibly be true that the world would continue its progressive march if all
these ;rrander problems were left unattempted, and nothing more were to be cultivated
except mechanics, and those portions of the other sciences, supposing them to be separ-
able, which bring under control the available resoerces of nature. This may, we repeat,
be true if progress were estiinated solely as a colony of beavers might be conceived to
regurd the extension of their ingenious abade, and the increasing supply of provender
and confort they thereby secured at the least expenditure of exertion and fatigue. But
mankind has long since discovered that true advancement is to be sought not merely in
the knowledze which is direct power over matter, but in that which extends over the
whole tract of the knowable as widely ard as deeply as finite faculties can explore.
Nor will the most rigid utilitarian, if be look either to the present or the past, be in-
clined to dispute that, if the hij i i i
charter to the highest internal civilisation and the greatest external influence, it is at
least the invariable concomitant of both.

“This proposition, however it may be forgotten by an unintelligent few, needs no
general inculcation in Great Britain. Already the country has taxed itself for a geo-
logical survey, whose operations are certainly not restricted to the duties of the old di-
vining-rod. It has established a Royal Observatory, whose labours are not confined
to correcting chronometers. It maintains, by a princely revenue, a British Museum,
with a Nataral History department containing something more than animals whose flesh
is edible, or their skins of economic value,—with antiquarian galleries filled with other
vestiges besides those which, from beauty or ingenuity, could assist the modern de-
signcr. And shall every page on which the Creator and His creatures have unfolded
the arcana of the distant and the past, be expensively treasured and zealously scru-
tinized, uave that only on which are recorded the ways of God to man in our native
land—a small arena, it is true, but the epitome of the whole earth ?’—(pp. 2932.)

and accuracy, but, as too often happens with antiquaries of this class, the
part relating to the architecture is less satisfactory; a man who devotes

than wonld kave been the case had kis occupations in the school been
limited to mattera which bear directly upon his future calling. Besides
this, experience haa tanzht us that, with very few exceptions, the attempt
to anticipate the work of special apprenticeship by regulating the school
teaching with a view solely to the future calling of the pupil. is not only
in principle, but a failure in practice. There is necessarily a lack
ity and earnestness in all such work. The teacher and the taught
both feel that they are only playing at realities, and that all omissions and
shortcomings will have the opportunity of being made up for when the real
course of initiation begins. Hence the Universities have laid down, in the
plan which they have adopted, the broad principle that there must be some
common type of mental training and general instruction, adapted to the
development and capacities of onr common nature; and which, with what-
ever variety in the degree fo which it can be carried in the cases of different
individuals and different classes of society, must furnish the outline and
plan of the true education of all, irrespective of future destination, and
Irrespective of the question whether the education terminate with boyhood,
or be continued to the very verge of adolescence. The ethical and social
importance of the consequences of such a principle as this were largely
dwelt upon in our last number, and there is no need to stop here to insist
upon them again, We only now allude to them for the purpose of re-
minding our readers once more of the essential unity of all truth, and to
adduce this as one more example (if any be needed) of the ultimate agree-
ment there is between that which is speculatively true, socially expedient,
and morally right.

Again, taking the age of eighteen years as that at which the highest
school education, properly so called, usually terminates, the Universities
have assumed the attainment possible to well educated youths of this age,
as fixing the highest limit of the knowledge contemplated in their ex-
an.inations, After the age of eighteen, a youth either proceeds to the
University, or at. once commences the prosecution of his future profession ;
and as the Universities distinctly disclaim all interference with specific
professional training on the one hand, and on the other provide within
their own precincts for the education of those who can afford the leisure
and the means to continue their general education for a longer period, no
candidates are admitted at a later age. The Universities in no way propose
to suggest or supervise a course of education for young men parallel to, or
competing with, that which their own colleges and professors offer and con-
duct. They confine themselves in this project to the one purpose of guiding
the school education of school boys, considering rightly that after the age
of eightcen years few persons, excepting those actually resident in the
colleges of Oxford or of Cambridge, are undergoing any regular system of
general cducation at all. The case of adults of more advanced age, again,
they regard as beyond their legitimate sphere of action, When a grown
man devotes himself to study, it cannot be in the same sense as that in
which a youth submits himself to education, and the examinations calculated
to test the acquisitions of the man must necessarily proceed upon very
different methods from those suitable to the boy.

Resolving therefore to admit no candidates beyond the age of eighteen
years, it was expected that three different classes of persons would present
themselves. First, from the smallar grammar-schools and local commercial
achools, boys intended for retail trade and agriculture upon a small scale,
boys who must go to what is called “ business” as soon as they are old

let uz at least maintain our own. We are deerly grieved at what we feel
to be a serious error in the Cambridge programme. It is not that we over-
estimate knowledge about reiigious matters. Church history. Prayer-books,
Catechisms, and the like; we do nof run into the superficial error of ima-
gining that this class of knowledges may in any way constitute the * religious
element” in education : but while we are advancing the standard of ordi-
nary information in every other department. surely we ought also. pari passs,
to expect increasing accuracy. extent, and fulness in this class of—certainly
not useless—knowledge. Solid knowledge is the antidote to fanaticism, to
extreme opinions, and to party spirit. And if we would have our next
generation of middle-class laymen grow up true members of the Church,
we ought, on the one hand. to secure that they have some knowledge of the
grounds of their Churchma:.ship, and of the superiority of the Church over
the sects both in her ethical teaching and her general grasp of truth; and,

on the other hand, we should strive to protect them from the danger of un-
regulated zeal by early acquaintance with the due proportions of ‘the faith.

It is a trite remark that while the members of the various sects almost uni-
versally possess a tolerably fair acquaintance with the alleged reasons for
their secession from the Church, the middle-class (aye, and too often the
otherwise well educated) Churchman is usually totally unable to explain
what are the distinctive privileges which attach to his position, and what
are the responsibilities he would incur if he were to secede from his alle-
giance. We honestly believe that one among the many reasons for the
trifling hold which the Church has upon the “ middle classes”’ is to be found
in the utter and (to many of us) astounding ignorance of all matters of
what may be termed Church information which generally prevails. The
very phrasevlogy of our Prayer-book, to say nothing of the principles of its
construction ; the common-sense meaning of the technicalities of the Creeds
and the Catechism ; the Latinisms (and the Gracisms in some cases) with
which it abounds; are all of them difficulties in the way of a hearty sym-
pathy between the mind of the Church and the minds of many of our
people.

Now it is evident that these are all of them defects which can only, on
any thing like a large scale. be successfully remedied by improved school
teaching. They are all of them ignorances of common matters of fact, of
history, of doctrinal statements, of the meanings of words, and the like.
They are not religion, if they were, you could not examine upon them.
But ‘they constitute just that circuit of knowledge within which tuition and
examination may exert themselves with the utmost possible ultimate
advantage to religion. ‘hey are also matters which will infallibly be neg-

of modern education to give a smattering of many subjects instead of
careful teaching of a few. The Cambridge regulations are founded on
similar principtes.

Lastly, we have to notice the examinations provided by both Tni-
versities in drawing and in music. So far as our knowledge of the sub-
ject goes, we are not aware of any gencral recognition of the position
‘of these arts in a liberal education previous to the present. The case of
the Training Colleges is not an exception, inasmuch as their education is a
professional one, and that, too, of a limited and specific character.

Now, however, the expression of the opinions of the two Universities is
plain and unequivocal. They offer to all their candidates, junior as well as
senior, full scope for exhibiting not alone their proficiency in language, and
in the exact and experimental sciences, but also their knowledge of the
principles of art. and, in a measure, their skill in their application. It is no
slight step in advance which is thus taken. For the first tine, so far as
we know, have our academic bodies spoken out their conviction that the
arts are not to be regarded in the light of mere accomplishments, embeliish-
ments indeed of the outward form of life, and embellishments only. as the
mere dyaAya mAovrov, the trinket, or the gem. For the first time. so far
as we know, have our Universities acted upon the principle that all true
art is the outward expression of an inward reality, that there is nothing in
it which is merely arbitrary or capricious, but that all is orderly, har-
monious, and fitting ; and that therefore its forms, methods, and manifesta-
tions are the proper subject-matter of analysis and investigation. of instruc-
tion, and by consequence of examination also. For art has principles, has
a human meaning, and voice, and purpose. In the arts the human soul
reveals its feelings, moods, and sympathies, as truly as the mind expresses
its thonghts in the forms of language, and its reasonings in formule
of mathematics. Art has its rules, its fitnesses of form and colour, its laws
of proportion, of harmony, and of melody, as truly as language has its acci-
dence and its syntax, and mathematics have their laws of combinatiun and
analysis. Art has its history, nay, the history of art is a history of the
race, and where there have been no achievements in art, there also has been
no national greatness, no inspirations of genius, and, in a word, no history
at all. It seems strange that we have been so long in learning this, so long
before we have as a nation recognised how large a portion of our common
nature ix in practical abeyance so long as the arts are unappreciated, un-
cared for, or forgotten. Strange, too, does it seem that we have not felt
that as the individual is but an incomplete and imperfect being to whom
music has no speech or language, so a nation too which has no art is
wanting in an essential part of its national life and speech, is likely to grow
sordid and sovr, material in its tendencies and tastes, and, having no per-
ception of the beautiful, is not likely to value the true, except in its rela-
tion to the useful.

Weare not altogether without authority, or, at least, without an example,
upon which to rest our argument. There does exist in the case of one
nation the true and interior history of its national growth from the condition
of a mere herd of slaves to that of an organized national whole. When
Isracl came out of Egypt, her Divine Head not alone inspired the lawgiver
and the priest for their functions, but He cared also for the development of
the nation on its artistic side, and He “ filled with the Spirit of God 4” the

the interest of the scene. At length we reachcd the summit, having beea
three hours on foot, the greater part of which was occupied in the ascent.
A table-land now spread before us, across which we followed a track until we
came in sight of Nolay in a valley beneath us. On enquiring of a party of
peasants, who were romping together as a relaxation from labour, we found
to go by Nolay would ad:l nearly a league to our journey to Rochepot. We

in a similar posture, but the fore-arm is slightly fureshortened, and from the

years previous to his vis! . eighty vears ago, in which
this figure is represented with an oar or rudder at the ght side, and an urn
at the left. from which the water runs, and then conjectures it may repre-
sent the Saone. But I cannot myself trust so implicitiy to the drawing
from wiich M. Millin has published his engraving, and believe that the
substantial forms of the figure and attributcs are as described from cur
observations ; among gods and demigods, Venus is the more likely per-
sonaze to be represented. The seventh figure is Hercules with club in
right hand, the end resting on the ground, the lion’s skin on the left

the hands resting upon the upraised knee. Now it is unfortun itely most
important to appropriate this fizure, for it has given rise to a compicte
theory on the purpo-e of the column. Miliin asserts, I think upon the
authority of the carly drawing, that this is a captive chained. Now the
examples of captives on Roman monuments are very numerous, the Trajan
column alone supplies many instances, yet in no case, I believe. will one
be found in ti.is attitu Usually captives have the hands bound be-
hind them; I think I have seen one or two instances otherwise, but they
are rare exceptions. The po-ture here is one of case, and resembles the
statue of Cincinnatus in that particular; it is most unlikely that such an
attitude would have been chosen for a captive in this instance, even if it
had been sometimes adopted. Is it feasible that a captive would be intro-
duced among an assembly of gods and demi-gods? M. Miliin dresses the
figure in the sayum and bracce of the Gauls, but he is not borne out by
his own engraving ; it is the simple tunic of the Greeks and Romans, and
the legs are dare.

Is not the figure most likely to be a deity, like the rest? The attitude
and attire befits Vulcan, and it is most probable it is that deity which is in-
tended. As regards the indication of rope about the wrists of the figure,

Our hostess was now called on to shew us our beds, and led the way up
circular stone staircase, such as conduct to belfries in our old churche:
It led to a dilapidated chamber, containing a billiard-table, boards upo
trestles, perhaps for tables on festive occasions, with many a stain indicativ
of former revels. A curtain drawn aside revealed a recess with two beds
here we passed the night, and mnst say we have often fared worse in mor
pretentions esta ablishments. On the morrow we rose early, and had t
seck for the necessary element for ablution ; and from the manner in whic!
it was supplied, it confirmed us in previous suspicions, that washing was na
considered indispensable. A pint of water, an utensil with a handle usc
in culinary operation we thonght, and a towel about the size of a larg
pocket handkerchief, was all we ‘could get for fro, Our reckoning wa
not extravagant, and payinent for the beds was Icft to our munificence.

We now sct out for Iipinac, by a villanous road running nearly paralle
with a railway constructed for the coal-mines in the neighbourhood. Th.
ecenery was picturesque, but the way lonely and neg! lected, so that we con
gratulated ourselves on not having attempted it on the previous night. A
Epinac we had breakfast, and by | leaving the chfateau—which stands out
prominent object on the brink of a hill—on our right, we reached the hig]
road to Autun at Ladrée, and the ancient city of Autun was attained a
one o'clock, we being very tired and oppressed by the great heat. Her
we rejoined our friend, and after an hour's rest were wandering about i:
search of the antiquitics of the place.

M. Millin, in his visit to Cussy, seems to have been as ill-informe:
as ourselves as to its location. He started from Beaune, and passer
through Rochepot to Nolay, thus at once going out of his way. A
Nolay he was in sad disgust with his host :—‘t God preserve the reader,”
says he, ‘from putting up at M. Potet, keeper of the ‘Cheval Blanc,
whose reception is as disobliging as his house is slovenly and his kitcher
disgusting.” Poor M. Millin says he “inhumanly” refused his carring
to convey them to Cussy, and even saddles for the horses they had wit!
them. ‘‘ Having taken this cursed road,” he continues, “ we were obliged
to go on foot.” He admits. however, that the sight of the column indei-
nified him for his trouble. His journey was scarcely half that of ours, but
a Frenchman hates walking. hence this learned antiqnary speaks of that
with disgust which to us a source of pleasure and delight.

In conclusion, I would say to all tourists, do not believe the guide-hook
that tells you Cussy is * accessible with difficulty,” & it is not far from

it ix not “near Nolay.”” IT would further remark, that Autun fair does noi

AN IRISH PORTRAIT GALLERY.

The Rev. James Graves said that he
had in August last received a private
letter from a member of the Society, the
Rev. P. Moore, of Piltown, who in the
course of a summer excursion had noted
one or two things worth placing on record ;
and he would make no apology for now
bringing the matter forward, as the writer
had expressed a wish that we had a

allery of Irish historical portraits in
Fratge’s style, and he (Mr. Graves) hoped
this would prove the first step towards the
formation of a collection of’ notes relative
tothe original portraita of distinguished
Irishmen, preserved often in private
houses, and little known. ‘The members
of the Society, scattered as they were over
the country, could do much towards carry-
ing out this idea. He would, therefore,
beg leave to throw the Rev. gentleman's
notes into a torm he never thought of
when writing them.

“ Ballufin House, Queen's County, the
seat of Sir Charles Coote.— Old Sir Charles
Coote, of 1641, celebrated leader of the
Parliamentary side in Ireland, pointed
beard, moustache dark brown, brown eyes,
slight person, in armour, baton in right
hand.”

“ Parsontoten Cas'le, the seat ofthe Earl
of Ross.—Sir William Parsons, of 1611,
Lord Justice of Ireland, &c., a fine mild-
looking man, shaved close, no moustache,
dark eyes and brows, in armour.”

The above brief form would answer ad-
mirably, but the size of the picture, i.e.
whether full, three-qnarters, half-length,
or head, should be added. Mr. Graves said
he was sure that it necded but to bring
the matter under the notice of the mem-
bers generally to produce many interesting
communications.

Mr. Henry Martin, master of the New
Ross Endowed School, sent a communica-
tion respecting the ancient timber bridge
of Ross,

held so many monuments of the taste and
skill of our ancestors as New Ross. Not
to speak of the adjoining town of Rosber-
con, which could once boast of most in-
teresting architectural remains, Ross pos-
sessed three monastic houses, a noble
Early English church, with crypt, and
had been in the 14th century surrounded
by a wall with bastions and gates, the
erection of which is so quaintl described in
the contemp orman-French

of Brother Michael of Kildare, which was
worthily rendered into English metre by
“LEBEL” By however, one after
another of the monastic buildings were
razed; the nave of old St. Mary’s was
cleared away to make room for the present
modern church and tower; and the

ration, having removed the Southern or
Three Bullet Gate, has made itself noto-
rious by the notice affixed to a wall still
existing, which forms so admirable an
addition to all collections of Irish bulls—

It was reserved, however, for the present
Town Commissioners to complete the
category of vandalism by demolishing, a
short time since, the beautiful Early og.

Fair-gate,” said to have been erected by
the ladies of Ross when all classes of the
citizens luboured to fortify their town.
Whilst persons of taste remained on the
Commission several efforts to destroy the

but a “purgation” of that body having
been recently effrctod, the poor old gate
was doomed, and has actually succumbed

not ties the approaching introduction of

Among the latter is a law securing a m re

had much withdrawn from public if.
but. this scarcely lessened his intluoenee,
which was wide-spread und powerful. He
was a muniticent supporter of many f
the religions societies and public instite-
tions, and his large estates were justly
and prudently adwinistered under his on
especial direction,

The deceased was the son of William
Carne, Gentleman, an opulent banker of
Penzance, who died in 1836 at the ad-
vanced age of 82, leaving three surviving
sons, Jowph, William, and John, the e-
dest of whom is the subject of this notice.
The third son, John, a graduate of Queen's
Collez mbridge, who died in 18H,
without issue, was the author of “ Letters
from the Eust,” “Letters from Switzer-
land and Italy,” “Tales of the West,”
“ Lives of Eminent Missionaries,” ® Strat-
ton Hill,” “The Exiles of Palestine,” and
several other works. A younger son,
James, D.D., of Oriel College, Oxford, was
Vicar of Charles, Plymouth, where (with

) he fell a victim to the cholera in
ving three sous and two daugh-
ters, of whom vuly oue daughter now
survives.

‘The subject of this notice married in
1508 Miss Mary Thomas, of Haverford-
west, by whom he had issue two sons and
fonr daughters: his sons both died at an
early age, (one of them leaving a dangh-
ter,) and his wife in 1835, but his four

remains were interred with great

‘The tamily of Carne has been xettled in
the west of Cornwall for about three cen-
turies, it being a junior branch of the
Welsh Carnes, formerly of Wenny and
now of Nash in Glamorganshire. The
gentleman lately deceased was the seni
member of this branch, which is now
presented by his nephew, the Rev. John

land, the Ine Gicranei of Mezart. Its
impression on the public was instactane-
ous. It xas perf.rmed twenty-three times

night after night; bat the manager pro
diced alo the Figaro and Clemenza di
Tito of Meaart, the Penelope of Cimarcsa,
the Aguese and Griselda of Paer, and the
Moliaara of Parsiello; a variety of excel-
lence unparalleled in any other season
Gither before cr since.

Thomgh the efforte of the manager were
rewarde by the fullest approbation of the
public, set he found himself mable to con-
tinne them, During the whele season he
had to contend with the o;pesition of the

formers, who were ton often supported

aristocratic patroms, and by the pro-
Prictors of the theatre in their cabals,
intrigues, and refnsal to do their duty.
Find:ng it impossible to make head
against «nch obstacles, Mr. Ayrtem, at
the end of the season, retired from the
Management.

In tue year 1921 we again find Mr. Ayr-
ton manager of the Opera. Mr. Ebers, in
his “Seven Years of the King’s Theatre,”
says, that having been requested to under-
take the theatre, he stipulated that his ac-
ceptance should be conditional to Mr. Ayr-
tom undvrtaking the direction; with this
protection he thought himself tolerably
safe, as the talent and established reputa-
tion of Mr. Ayrton was in itself a guarantee
of success. Mr. Ebers adds that a sort of
eomnmittee of noblemen was formed to
amist and comntenance the manager in an
arduons undertaking commineed under
cireumstancrs of peculiar difficulty; but a
diffrence: with this committee as to the
amignment of parta to the performers, a
matter peculiarly within the province of
the manager, led to Mr. Ayrton’s resigna-
tion befire the termination of the season.

‘The arduous nature of the duties of
manager in illustrated by Mr. Ebers by the
following anecdote. He says,—“I was

a cheap publication of the fine music of
all ages, countries, and masters. He also
wrote some musical notices in “ Knight's
Pictorial Edition of Shakespere.” In ad-
dition to these works, be has left a great
collection of manuscript materials for =
philosophical history of music, and for a
iestonary of music, the fruits of many
ears’ patient research.

periments to determine the Existence or
Non - existence of Electrical Currents
among stratified Rocks,” was presented in
1839, the result being that no such
currents could be detected,

In or about the year 1834, in partner-
ship with Mr.John Lee (a relative) and
corge Burnett, both of whom he
ed, he commenced the Felling
Chemical Works, which now cover a
larger area than the Crystal Palace, and
employ a thousand workinen.

Ten years later—about 1843—the de-
ceased commenced also the works at
Washington, in which are carried on,
amongst other manufactures, that of mag-
nesia, by a process discovered by himself,
and ‘patented, the result being a much
purer and cheaper article, and one which
has driven almost every competitor out of
the field. In the neighbourhood of the
Washington Works a populous and grow-
ing community now exists, which will
make a respectable figure in the census of
1861, under the head of “Pattinsontown.”

Every one is familiar now with “ Arm-
strong’s Hydro-Electric Machine.” It was
Mr. Vattinson who first, in the month of
October, 1840, a8 a correspondent of the
“Gateshead Observer,” brought before the
public the phenomenon which, presenting
itself at an engine at Cranolington colliery,
‘¢ birth to the machine. He also com-
municated a paper on the subject to the
November number of the “ Philosophical
Mauzine,” (a periodical to which, we be-
lieve, he was a not unfrequent contributor),
‘And to this paper, and one by Mr. W. G.
‘Armstrong, simultaneously published, we
refer the reader. The illustrious Faraday,
inan accompanying note, says of the phe-
nemenon, that “it gives us the evolution
of electricity during the conversion of
water into vapour upon an enormous scale,
aud therefore brings us much nearer to
the electric phenomena of voleanoes, water-
spouts, aud thunder-storms, than before.”

In 1850 the deceased was appointed, in
Newcastle, to the office of a local Com-
missioner in promotion of the Great Ex-
hi ion of 1851; and with other eminent
chemists, (M. Dumas, the distinguished
Frenchman, being Chairman,) he served on
the Chemicnl and Pharmaceutical jury at
the Crystal Palace.

In 1856, when Professor Smyth was pre-
paring for “ his residence above the clouds”
on the Peak of Teneriffe, to muke astrono-
miecal observations untroubled by the
lower depths of our atmosphere, the de-
ceased, with characteristic liberali
at his service the telescope of
learned observer speaks in his report as
“the great Pattinson equatorial.”

Osituary—Hugh Lee Pattinson, Esq., F.R.S.

[Dec.

He was a man of unbounded munifi-
cence. His public subscriptions were ever
liberal, and his private charity extensive.
He was an ardent friend of education,
and especially amongst his own people.
We have frequently had oceasion to men-
tion the excellent schools and reading-
rooms established in connection with the
works in which he was a partner. No
expense was ever spared if he thought
the workmen or their children could be
improved in their education; and baths,
savings’-banks, &c., also had his care. He
invariably treated the humblest individual
in his employ with consideration and
Kindness. He loved particularly the peo-
ple of his native town. Ilis tongue was
racy of the soil that gave him birth, and
his heart warmed to its inhabitants. He
was ever rendy to aid them in their good
works. He was one of the largest sub-
scribers to their beautiful town-hall, of
which he laid the foundation-stone, but
the opening of which he must not behold.
He will be there, however, in the thoughts
of all, when the ceremony takes place ;
for well they know that in him they have
lost one of their best friends.

“The old master” was sorely missed at
the Felling Chemical Works when last
the annual examination of the schools
was held, and he, for the first time, was
absent. Many of the children were ob-
served in tears—his best monument.

The deceased was a member of the
Royal, the Royal Astronomical, and many
other learned societies, He died a Vice-
President of the Literary and Philoso-
phical Society of Newcastle, of which, on
the nomination of the Rev. Anthony Hed-
ley and others, he was elected a member
on the 6th of March, 1822. Much earlier,
however, (while yet at Alston,) he had the
use of its philosophical apparatus; and he
was ever sensible of his obligations to the
institution in his youth.

From his boyhood the deceased was
known for his “turn” for mechanics and
chemistry; and he early became 80 pro-
ficient that he delivered lectures to his
townsmen and the surrounding villagers,
with illustrative experiments. Nor, to
the latest year of his life, did he ccase to
be a student, but was ever careful to keep
pace with the science of the day. He was
also a man of great general information, had
arich fund of anecdote and a genial dispo-
sition, and was au instructive and euter-
taining companion.
