p. 52), I ventured to propound other meanings of
them than that given by the writer of the lines, in
this way.
This saying is also said to be derived
from the cries of schoolboys, on the announcement
of holidays, which was, "Let's singe Old Rose and
burn libellos," which signified, "Let us singe Old
Rose's wig, and burn our books." In process of
time the "singe" would lose its final letter and
become sing"; and "libellos" would easily be
corrupted to "the bellows." Taylor's authority
gives the "Ram Inn," at Nottingham, as the place
of the origin of the words, and "in good King
Stephen's days" as the period.

J. POTTER BRISCOE.

The origin of the phrase, "Sing old Rose, and burn the bellows," is thus solved in the 'British Apollo' (1740), vol. iii. :—

In good King Stephen's days, the Ram,
An ancient inn at Nottingham,
Was kept, as our wise father knows,
By a brisk female called Old Rose.
Many like you, who hated thinking,
Or any other theme but drinking,
Met there, d' ye see, in sanguine hope,
To kiss their landlady and tope;

But one cross night, 'mongst many other,
The fire burnt not without great pother,
Till Rose, at last, began to sing,

And the cold blades to dance and spring;
So by their exercise and kisses

They grew as warm as were their wishes:

When scorning fire, the jolly fellows

Cried, "Sing old Rose and burn the bellows."

Timbs, in Something for Everybody' (1866), says, "Izaak Walton, in his 'Angler,' makes the Hunter, in the second chapter, propose that they shall sing Old Rose,'" which is presumed to refer to the ballad, Sing old Rose, and burn the bellows," of which much trouble has been taken, in vain, to find a copy. Rose was the son of John Rose, living in Bridewell, London, who is said by Stow to have invented a lute early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth; he is also thought to have been "Rose, the old viole-maker." Concerts of viols were the usual musical entertainments after the practice of singing madrigals grew into disuse. H. A.

The drawing was by Mr. De Wilde, and the illustration was engraved in wood by his son, Mr. Rex De Wilde. I think the same illustration appeared afterwards in a volume of the Journal of the Proceedings of the Archeological Association, with notes by the late Mr. Thomas Wright. The drawing of the "Shoemaker Miserere" at Wellingborough, in 'Bygone Northamptonshire,' is a very feeble representation of the beauty of the carving. JOHN TAYLOR.

'LINES ON TENNYSON' (8th S. iii. 7).-These are the lines from Mortimer Collins's Letter to the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, M.P.':—

Is Tennyson no Poet? Yes, indeed,
"Miss Alfred's "" are delicious books to read:
In summer tide, when all the woods are still,
Pleasant to wander at one's own sweet will,
Dream of the amorous gossiping that broke
The eternal silence of a garrulous oak,
Dream of the Princess who was buried deep
In an unfathomed century of sleep,
Dream of the savage adjectives that fall
From the loud lunatic of Locksley Hall,'
Sweet singer of the madrigal melodious,
Why did he make King Arthur's story odious?
Why, with a flattery at which men wince,
Compare the hero to a blameless Prince?
Why send the old figures to a modern school,
Turn Vivian harlot, Merlin sensual fool?
Lovely and lucid are the Laureate's pearls:
A perfect poet, sir, for little girls.
Soft flows his rhymeless verse, constructed well,
And sweetly matched each soothing syllable.
But where's the passion a great poet knowS
When the hot blood in every artery flows?
Not his the satire even fools can feel,
When each strong line is a keen blade of steel;
Not his the lyric lore that has unlaced
The cestus, warm from Aphrodite's waist;
But if you like a smooth Virgilian style,
A very proper moral, free from bile,
Ethics of Dr. Watts, Colenso's creed,
Those nice green volumes give you all you need.

WHITECHAPEL BELL FOUNDRY (8th S. ii. 488, 537).—MR. F. T. HIBGAME, of Philadelphia, is not quite accurate in his dates and numbers. In 1750 this old bell foundry was owned by Thomas Lester,

and it was not until two years later that the firm became Lester & Pack. Further, there are, or were, eight bells (not six) in the belfry of Christ Church, Philadelphia. There are eight bells, from the same foundry, at St. Mark's (exactly the same weight as those in Christ Church), as well as at St. Peter's, both in the same city. About 170 churches in North America contain bells from the Whitechapel foundry, the finest being a peal of eleven bells at the Cathedral Church of Notre Dame, at Montreal. The bell foundry was started in Whitechapel by one Robert Mot, in 1570, who carried it on until 1606, when he was succeeded by Joseph Carter. James Bartlet had the business from 1696 until 1701. When visiting the foundry, not long ago, I was shown original bells by Robert Mot and James Bartlet. If MR. HIBGAME or any one else interested in campanology will write to Messrs. Mears & Stainbank, the present representatives of the firm, and ask for their book on bells, the applicant will, in due course, receive a small brochure in which all the above facts and much else about bells is tersely compiled.

been, and still are, rebuked for their affection for moralizings of the kind they convey, and it may, at least, be doubted whether in any other country the grim and repellent surroundings of the grave could form the subject of a poem which should win acceptance for educational purposes.

Holbein's designs have been reproduced in different forms, and in some cases, as in the plates on copper of Deuchar, London, 1803, with remarkable alterations and additions. In their new and handsome edition Messrs. Bell & Sons have given impressions from the blocks engraved in 1833 for Douce's edition. These constitute, as Mr. Linton says, "the best imitations in wood," and the book is attractive and beautiful. An introduction by Mr. Dobson is, it is needless to say, in the best possible taste, and carries our information from the point at which it was begun by Peignot in 1826 so far as it has yet reached.

Three Generations of English women. By Janet Ross. (Fisher Unwin.)

Or the three remarkable women whose lives have been told by a fourth, Sarah Austin is, in all respects, the most remarkable. Her memoir, accordingly, occupies the largest share in Mrs. Ross's volume, of which a new, revised, and enlarged edition now sees the light. The lives of Susannah Taylor and Lady Duff Gordon are, however, wanting neither in interest nor value, and the entire volume furnishes a pleasant insight into intellectual and literary life during the present century. Of the esteem in which Sarah Austin was held by the most

As a popular manual to the student of book-plates this volume of Mr. Egerton Castle, best known for his books on fencing, is welcome. It is abundantly illustrated (the greatest of recommendations in the case of a work of its class), is pleasantly written, and follows in method the luminous scheme arranged by the present Lord de Tabley. Book-plates, long a delight of bibliophiles and heralds, have sprung of late into public favour, and scores now own a book-plate or are collectors of book-distinguished Frenchmen of the day abundant proof is plates who a decade ago would have asked the meaning of the word. To the amateur of to-day Mr. Castle's book is indispensable. It is, moreover, so to speak, elastically framed, and, while up to date now, will in future editions, which are sure to be demanded, admit of indefinite additions. It is useless to follow Mr. Castle through his historical chapters, in which he has aimed only at supplying a rapid survey. His volume, the only work on the subject at present accessible, is up to date, and, besides reproducing designs by Hogarth, Bewick, Gravelot, and Cipriani, gives the productions of Sir John Millais, William Bell Scott, Randolph Caldecott, Kate Greenaway, and Mr. Walter Crane. Fancy now runs riot in designs, interiors, portraits and the like. A valuable article might, however, be written upon the obligation of the book-plate to the printer's device, of which a magnificent collection is supplied in the 'Marques Typographiques' of M. Sil

The Dance of Death. By Holbein, Edited, with an Introductory Note, by Austin Dobson. (Bell & Sons.) THOUGH executed, it is supposed, in Strasburgh, and first printed in Lyons, the designs constituting what is now known as Hans Holbein's Dance of Death' have at least been naturalized in England. Englishmen have

furnished. A curious comment upon her correspondence
with Auguste Comte is afforded in the fact that we have
before us several volumes of the works of Comte with
written dedications to Mistress Sarah Austin couched in
terms of strong admiration, and dated from Paris, accord-
ing to the philosopher's scheme of naming the months,
"Le 27 Dante," Le 24 Homère," &c. Here is a delight-
ful story of Voltaire, told Mrs. Austin by Dr. Franck:
"Voltaire had for some reason or other taken a grudge
against the prophet Habakkuk, and affected to find in
him things he never wrote. Somebody took the Bible,
and began to demonstrate to him that he was mistaken.
'C'est égal,' he said. impatiently; Habakkuk était
capable de tout.'' Extra portraits, including one of
Lady Duff Gordon from Mr. G. F. Watts, are given.
The Poems of Edmund Waller. Edited by G. Thorn
Drury. (Lawrence & Bullen)
THE series known as The Muses' Library" is rapidly
becoming the most ideal series of seventeenth century
poets in existence. The latest accession to it consists of the
poems of Waller, carefully edited and published with such
attractions as no previous edition of Waller has known.
Foremost among these stand a portrait of Waller from a
picture by Cornelius Janssen, and one of Sacharissa,
Lady Dorothy Sidney, from a picture once in the poet's

on the names of Westminster streets, on the coronation of George IV. and the reception on that occasion of the Queen, and on the mistakes made by Lord Albemarle in his diary. A biography is given of Mr. Thoms, who was born in College Street, Westminster, baptized in St. Margaret's Church, christened under a wrong name, and the error corrected fifty-four years later by a sworn affidavit by an aunt who had stood godmother. Mr. Thoms began life in the secretary's office at Chelsea Hospital, and held the secretaryship of the Camden Society from 1838 to 1873. In a parochial biography it is necessary to name the fact that Mr. Thoms was elected a vestryman of St. John in 1852, when he was living in Great College Street, in what had previously been his father's house; but to us it is more pleasant that Mr. J. E. Smith records in the highest terms of sympathy the foundation of N. & Q.,' and the language used with regard to it by its parent in the later years of his life.

possession, and believed to have been presented to him by the lady herself. These works are now in the possession of Edmund Waller, Esq., the present representative of the poet, by whose permission they are reproduced, adding singular interest and value to the work in which they appear. That of Waller presents a bright open face, with a broad brow, long straight nose, piercing black eyes, and a faint moustache. Sacharissa's face is both beautiful and intelligent. An edition such as this of Waller is certain of a welcome. Waller's place among the seventeenth century poets is high. His three or four best poems, which are also the most familiar, are exquisite. That he has been, in a sense, overrated, being selected as representative of men greater than himself, and finding in the last century a place among poets whose works are collected denied to Donne, Suckling, Lovelace, Wither, Marvell, Herrick, and Carew, is attributable to the fact that his verse is singularly modern and free from archaism. Mr. Drury points out a curious fact in connexion with Waller, namely, that he seems to have been, with the exception of Rogersa man not, as a poet, to be named in the same breath-year, of Gustave Adolphe Schrumpf, a master at Univerthe most richly endowed with the world's goods of the sons of the Muses. Mr. Drury's introductory matter and his notes are alike excellent, and the edition is ideal. Secret Service under Pitt. By W. J. FitzPatrick, F.S.A. (Longmans & Co.)

THE second edition of Mr. FitzPatrick's 'Secret Service under Pitt' has trodden closely on the heels of the first. It is a work of supreme interest, and, in a sense, one of the saddest volumes ever written. There is no need to sympathize with Irish schemes for independence in order to feel how abject treachery was to be found among men of scholarship, position, and influence. Mr. Wills, in his King Charles I.,' has some lines concerning Judas which are practically unprinted and inaccessible. For his conception of the arch-traitor Mr. Wills, it is evident, need not have gone outside his own country of Ireland. The manner, meanwhile, in which Mr. FitzPatrick has tracked out those responsible for the betrayal of the Irish leaders is a marvel of ingenuity, patience, and research. Absolutely admirable are the chapters in which Lord Downshire's mysterious visitor is traced, Mr. FitzPatrick's conclusions being irresistible. Perhaps the most remarkable chapter is that on Father Arthur O'Leary. Concerning General Napper Tandy, Leonard McNally, and others, and, indeed, concerning Lord Edward Fitzgerald, much of highest interest is told. Mr. FitzPatrick, it must be remembered, has had access to Government papers hitherto most jealously guarded, and has made splendid use of his opportunities. While possessing all the fascination of a novel, or, indeed, a drama, his book is an all-important contribution to history, indispensable to all who seek to obtain a knowledge of the sinister history of Ireland at the close of the last century and the beginning of the present. Among those on whom light is incidentally thrown is Shelley, to whose life in Dublin reference is occasionally made. The book is calculated to enchant those whose delight is found in the bypaths of history.

St. John the Evangelist, Westminster: Parochial Memorials. By J. E. Smith, Vestry Clerk of St. Margaret and St. John. (Printed for the Author by Wightman & Co., Westminster.)

THIS parochial history contains a good deal that will be of interest to readers of N. & Q., and much reference to that publication. Mr. Thoms had lived so long in Westminster, and was so well acquainted with its archæology, that it was to be expected that his contributions to N.&Q.' should deal largely with the parish which is the theme of Mr. Smith. Mr. Thoms wrote in N. & Q.'

FRENCH NOTES AND QUERIES.

Founded in 1864.

Literary, Historical, and Artistic Correspondence and Notes.

Questions and Replies; Letters and Documentary Authorities, Discoveries and Curiosities, Literary News and Gossip. Erudition.

Offers for Sale and Advertisements of Things to be Sold; Exchanges, Lists of Sales and Accounts of the same; Lists of Acquisitions by Public Collections and Museums, for the use of Literary Men, Artists, Bibliophiles, Professors, Formers of Collections, Archæologists, Genealogists, Numismatists. L'INTERMEDIAIRE appears three times a month. It is an absolutely necessary tool to literary workers. The system of Notes and Queries, on which it rests, is one of the most simple, useful, and practical possible. The object of the paper is to lend its considerable amount of publicity to all literary workers and literary inquirers who find themselves em

barrassed in their work.

We reply to all.

Among literary men, learned men, professors, artists, persons forming collections of pictures and other art objects, bibliophiles, lovers of prints and autographs, archaeologists, collectors of coins, there is not one who does not sometimes find that he has got beyond his own knowledge and needs that of others. He has consulted his friends, the library of his town, the societies of his district, he has written many letters-he has not obtained the information that he wants. Another wishes to find whence comes a quotation which his memory does not correctly supply, or to find a particular book, a manuscript, an art object, heraldic bearings, a family descent, or to verify the authenticity of a text or of an autograph, or to learn the commonness or scarcity and the consequent value of some object; to know whether the subject which occupies his mind has already been studied, whether a particular document has already been published, whether librarians or custodians of archives or museums or other collectors can give him hints or supply documents which will help him in his studies. He has looked at everything that he can find, and consulted all easily available works of reference, and yet is at a standstill. Here comes in L'INTERMEDIAIRE. That paper prints his ques

tion and carries it to the door of all the learned, and in a following number brings him the answer for which he had so long waited. There is a bond which brings together all the readers of L'INTERMEDIAIRE-the desire to help one another. The question and the replies are inserted without the drawing of any distinction of political or of religious opinion. The independence of L'INTERMEDIAIRE is complete, and that of its correspondents is guarded, if they wish it, by the most scrupulous anonymity. Whatever may be the excitement of politics, our Notes and Queries have always interested the press and the world of letters, for they explain the historical, artistic, and literary past, and bring out from their ordinary reserve men who are able to answer, and who often have not previously spoken. Many have been the indiscretions committed in the paper to the benefit of history.

L'INTERMEDIAIRE publishes, in its part which In addition to the Notes and Queries part, has to do with discoveries and curiosities, letters and authorities which have not previously seen the light, and this important part of the paper greatly adds to its attraction and variety.

In its news part L'INTERMEDIAIRE publishes a supplement of eight columns with each number which informs the reader of all that is doing in the world of letters and arts, of discoveries, researches. acquisitions of the libraries and archives and museums of the world. It also contains proposals for sale, exchange, and barter among the subscribers to the paper, and those only, and lists and accounts of public sales in France and abroad. The discoveries which are due to L'INTERMEDIAIRE amount to thousands, and it is impossible to close any literary inquiry with safety without first submitting it to that paper.

L'INTERMEDIAIRE is published on the 10th, 20th, and 30th of the month, and each number. price 1 franc, contains 48 columns, beautifully printed, and the paper forms at the end of every six months an elegant volume of not less than 1,000 columns, with indexes.
