cheek, though bronzed by exposure, was marked by a womanly dimple. At the time Hamilton's portrait was drawn, Prince Rupert had had experience of nearly half a century of such perils, privations, and vicissitudes, on land and sea, as have seldom been concentrated in a single life. The best portraits of the prince that I am acquainted with, are in the possession of Lord Kinnaird at Rossie Priory, Lord Craven at Com.be Abbey, and Sir Robert Bromley at Stoke Park. The first, by Vandyke, was taken apparently at the Hague when he was about eleven years of age; the second, also by Vandyke, about the period of his first visit to England; and the last was painted by Sir Peter Lely after the Restoration.".

LOCAL TERMINATIONS (4th S. ii. 202.)-R. B. will find ample information about the termination ham in that most interesting book, Words and Places, by the Rev. Isaac Taylor; and also in Sharon Turner's History of the Anglo-Saxons. Undoubtedly it is allied to our modern word home. Abad too is, I believe, spoken about in Words and Places. I cannot tell R. B. anything about it. The only places in Essex whose names (as far as I know) terminate in End, are Audley End, Bartlow End, and Southend. It seems to me that these places have formerly been hamlets, at the end of large parishes. According to my theory, Audley End is that end of the parish of Saffron Walden which is called Audley; Bartlow End (which is also called Stevington) is that part of Ashdon parish which is near the Bartlow hills; and Southend is the south end of the parish of Prittlewell. There is a Southend in Kent, which is simply a hamlet at the south end of Lewisham. So also North End, Fulham, in Middlesex, is at the north end of that parish. Gravesend I know nothing about.

I may be wrong in my conjectures about the termination end; but I am sure I do right in referring H. B. to Words and Places, and Sharon Turner's History of the Anglo-Saxons.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH'S DESCENDANTS (4th S. ii. 164, 235.)—About thirty-four years ago, when I was a schoolboy in Dublin, I was acquainted with a fine young man named Walter Raleigh, a native of Tipperary. He was an Irish comedian and vocalist of superior ability, and made a large fortune rapidly by his profession. He purchased a handsome estate in the neighbour

hood of Dublin; but did not enjoy it long, as he died suddenly of disease of the heart. He was a bachelor, and his handsome property was subsequently swallowed up in law suits between some distant relatives, who litigated the question of who was his heir. He told me often that he was the lineal descendant of the worldrenowned knight whose name he bore. His physique was remarkable: he was very handsome, and over six feet six inches in altitude. He was a superior classical and general scholar, and a vast favourite with the public in his professional and private capacity. I give this for what it may be S. REDMOND. considered worth.

Liverpool.

At West Wickham Court, Kent, may be seen a fine portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh, which was in the Exhibition of 1866, and has been engraved. The article "Farnaby," in an old Baronetagethe title being now extinct-would show whether it was an heirloom or not. J. WILKINS, B.C.L.

"FAIRIN:" "SAIRIN" (4th S. i. 508, 565.) —— SETH WAIT is, as MR. IRVING shows, entirely mistaken. I never heard the word sairin, but in the South of Scotland fairin in the sense of punishment, a whipping or skelping, is of every-day occurrence. No doubt the use of the word is ironical. DR. ROGERS (i. 614) is evidently mistaken in imagining that fairin and faring are the same words. It is quite clear, I think, that in Lady Nairn's song faring simply means food or eating. T. G.

ANONYMOUS (4th S. ii. 224.)—If your correspondent had examined a copy of Twelve Dialogues between Timothy, Titus, and Archippus, he would not have called this pamphlet anonymous. The

name of the author occurs at the end of the De

dication, and also at the end of the Preface. Edward Davies, the author, was a Welshman, a student in Lady Huntingdon's college, and settled in this town as a dissenting minister about 1793, and died in 1834, in the eightieth year of his age. I have a volume lettered "Davies's Tracts, 1799-1829, in my collection of Ipswich authors.

1. The progenitors of Warin de Baliol, Sheriff of Salop from 1066 to 1078, and of his brother Rainold de Baliol, Lord of Bailleul, Dampière, and Hélicourt; Sheriff of Salop in 1078; Lord of Weston, Berton Broton, and Newton, co. Stafford,

POPULAR PHRASEOLOGY (4th S. ii. 199.) I have heard a sight, and sights; a lot, and lots, used with precisely the same application as power noticed by MR. EDMUND TEW. I have also heard oceans applied in the same manner, as "oceans of money," &c.; and I am not quite positive, but I think I have heard mine with a somewhat similar application, as a mine of wealth," and mint, as a mint of money."

where this subject has been already noted. At the latter reference A. L. X. states that "the conjecture that Chaucer by fyfty wekes meant to imply the interval of a solur year .. is fully secured by the comparison with Chaucer's original.

"The mixture of astrological notions with mythology is curious: the pale Saturnus the colde' is once more a dweller on Olympus, and interposes to reconcile Mars and Venus. By his influence Arcite is made to perish after having obtained from Mars the fulfilment of his

VIRGIL "EN." VII. 563 (4th S. ii. 145.)—I have not visited the lake and country described by MR. C. T. RAMAGE, but in other parts of Italy I have very recently visited two pools, either of which partly answers the description in the above passage. Near Padua we find the sulphur baths and pool of Abano (not Albano, as misprinted in some of the Guide Books). Here is a pool of bubbling, boiling hot water strongly impregnated with sulphur. The fields for some distance are bare of vegetation, and covered with lava. At some period there has been an active volcano here, and so intense is the heat of the ground that the inhabitants are ever on the look out for an eruption. As the Mantuan country is at no great distance, Virgil must have known this pool. Close at hand is a range of the Euganean Hills, but they are not high mountains. I do not attach much importance to the "montibus altis" of the poet. Virgil was fond of the expression, and we find it in the Eclogues, the Georgics, and other places. The other pool is in the lovely Val di Ciano; it is about halfway between the baths of Chianciano and the town of Montepulciano in Tuscany. Close to the roadside is a sulphur-pool, the cold waters of which bubble and make a frightful noise. The locality, and birds which venture too near often air is tainted with sulphur; cattle shun the fall down dead. The mountains are not high. Wẹ have, however, a nemus of chestnut, oak, and beech. The pool has an evil name: peasants dread to pass after daylight; infernal spirits have been seen hovering near! (I state this on the authority of my guide.) The superstition may be of classic origin, and even anterior to Virgil's time. Virgil no doubt knew this country. Umbria and the now-called Roman States are adjoining it. From the pool we look down on the lake and town of Chiuse, the ancient Clusium, and on the lakes of Montepulciano and Thrasimeno (the ancient

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

Giraldi Cambrensis Opera. Vol. VI. Giraldi Cambrensis Itinerarium Kambria et Descriptio Kambriæ. Edited by James F. Dimock, M.A., Rector of Bamburgh, Yorkshire. (Longmans.)

The Chronicle of Pierre de Langtoft, in French Verse, from the Earliest Period to the Death of King Edward I. Edited by Thomas Wright, M.A., F.S.A., &c. Vol. II. (Longmans.)

We have to call the attention of our readers to two volumes recently added to the important Series of Chronicles and Memorials of Great Britain and Ireland during the Middle Ages, now publishing by authority of the Treasury under the direction of the Master of the Rolls. The first of these, being the sixth volume of the collected works of Giraldus Cambrensis, contains a carefully edited text of the Welsh Treatises of Giraldus, the value and importance of which can scarcely be over-estimated, as is by the editor. The second is the concluding volume of Mr. Wright's edition of the French Chronicle of Pierre de Langtoft: not the least remarkable portion of which will, in the opinion of some of his readers, be found in the four appendices in which Mr. Wright has preserved the curious documents which he has found appended to many of the MSS. of his author, and which relate to the Scottish claims and the Scottish war. Mr. Wright has divided them into documents relating to the Pope's interference in the affairs of Scotland; poems ascribed to Langtoft; prophecies; and lastly, a remarkable English prophetical poem. These two volumes add greatly to the value and importance of the series of which they form a part.

shown by the learned and elaborate Introduction to them

The King and the Commons: Cavalier and Puritan Songs, selected and arranged by Henry Morley. (The Bayard Series.) (Sampson Low & Son.)

Professor Morley's idea of "giving coherence to a book of extracts by basing it on the grand story of our Civil War, and so blending and contrasting the pieces quoted, sometimes rather for expression of character than for inherent merit, that they shall speak the mind of each great party to the struggle, as expressed by its own best men, rather than as caricatured by the meaner sort of its opponents," it must be admitted is a very happy one. The extracts consist of some of the very finest things ever written by Ben Jonson, Cartwright, Randolph, Habington, Suckling, Crashaw, Waller, Davenant, Butler, Denham, Lovelace, Cowley, Herbert, Herrick, Carew, Quarles, Withers, Ford, Shirley, Mayne, Marvel, and Milton; and we cannot call to mind at this moment any volume in which so many "things of beauty" are centred; while it is really an extraordinary specimen of cheapness, neatness, and good taste in the binding and getting up. Such of our readers as are interested in the question of the Miltonic epitaph, which has so lately engaged the attention and pens of our contemporaries, may be reminded that the poem in question was brought to notice by Professor Morley, who discovered it when preparing the present volume for the press, and who has therefore very wisely, as we think, inserted a facsimile of it in the present volume, as a justification of the opinion which he still holds that, "whoever may be the transcriber of this epitaph, the author of it is John Milton."

The Adventures of a Bric-a-Brac Hunter. By Major H. Byng Hall. (Tinsley.)

Major Hall, who appears to have visited in his official capacity, if not every nook and corner of the Continent,

certainly all the capitals and principal cities of Europe, has on such visits taken the opportunity of indulging his passion for bric-a-brac hunting, and, as it would appear in many cases, with great success. He has published the present little volume for the purpose of pointing out to those who share his taste the best hunting-grounds, the most likely spots for the discovery of bric-a brac, and at the same time giving them such practical hints - the results of his own experience-as may ensure them success in the pursuit. The book is a pleasant book enough, but open to two objections. The first is, that it relates almost exclusively to objects of ceramic art, which is the Major's own peculiar fancy; and the next is, that there is a good deal of repetition and many digressions, so that the linked sweetness of the author's adventures is too long drawn out.

HEARNE'S "DIARY."-As the learned Editor of this amusing book did us the honour to say, in a letter which is now before us, "You may consider yourself responsible owing to you. I summoned courage to complete it," we to the public for the appearance of the book, as it was rapid sale of the book, that our anticipations as to the could not feel otherwise than gratified at finding, by the manner in which it would be received were fully justified. It has long been out of print; and we are glad to hear that Mr. Russell Smith announces a new edition of itand not only a new edition, but one with such additions as will render it necessary to print it in three volumes.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS are the medicine most in

repute for curing the multifarious maladies which beset mankind, when dry, sultry weather suddenly gives place to chilly, drenching days. In fact, these pil's give relief to, if they fail of proving an absolute remedy for, all the disturbances of digestion, circulation, and nervous tone which occasionally oppress a vast portion of this population. Under the genial, purifying, and strengthening powers exerted by this excellent medicine, the tongue becomes clean, the app tite improves, digestion is quickened, and assimilation is rendered perfect. These pills possess the highly estimable property of cleansing the entire mass of blood which, in its renovated condition, carries purity, strength, and vigour to every tissue of the body.
