It adjoins the eastern jamb of the archway, and has a stone canopy above it. I am not aware of there being any other example in this neighbourhood. LEICESTRIENSIS.

A perfect holy water basin or stoup exists at the church of Ixworth, St. Mary, on the exterior of the chancel entrance, south side of the church;

also one on the exterior of the church at Paken

ham, at the porch entrance, on the north side of the church: both in Suffolk. These observations were made in my visits to those churches in Aug; 1849, and I believe the stoups are still to be found there. C. G. There is an exterior holy water stoup at Winchester Cathedral; I think on the south wall. TECEDE.

Flanagan on the Round Towers of Ireland (Vol. v., p. 584.). That this announcement may not hazard the standing of those who have laboured to expound the mystery which the Cambrian bishop of King John's day could not, I can testify that, having been allured by the title set forth in R. H.'s late communication, I examined the little pamphlet, and cannot think its author could for a moment be considered other than a literary wag, a caricaturist of antiquities, as Father Print has been of poetry. I yet remember that the composition was at the time attributed to a prelate of very high rank on the Irish bench of bishops. "Stat nominis umbra."

Giving the Sack (Vol. v., p. 585.). —A querist

in a late Number seems to have confounded two

expressions of essentially different import, viz. the German "Einem einen Korb geben," to give one the basket, and the widely-spread expression of “giving one the sack." Of these the former is used when speaking of a lady refusing an offer of marriage; and, in a secondary sense, any one receiving a refusal in general is said to "get the basket." Nothing but guesses, and very unsatisfactory ones, have been given as to the origin of this expression. They may be seen in Adelung, under the word Korb. The import of the other expression may be accounted for in a more satisfactory manner. To tell a person in English to pack up his orts," is to send him about his business, to desire him to clear away even his orts or crumbs, and to leave no traces of himself behind. In French the word quilles, or ninepins (probably used as a type of the property least worth carrying away a person could have) takes the place of our orts; and "trousser leurs quilles" is explained by Cotgrave, "to pack up or prepare for their departure." Hence, " donner son sac et ses quilles" to a workman, or person in our employ, is to pack him off; to hand him his traps; and thus to give him the clearest intimation of our desire of his immediate departure. The import is

a little obscured in the English version of "giving one the sack." H. WEDGWOOD.

The country beggars in Ireland and Scotland formerly received the alms of the charitable in meal, potatoes, and other farming produce, which they carried off in sacks and bags, suspended round their bodies. In the North of Ireland, in my youthful days, the phrase was well understood to imply that a person, when he had got the sack (was discharged from his situation), had no other resource than to become a mendicant, and carry a bag, the well-known emblem of his profession. "The world may wag

Since I've got the bag,

For thousands have had it before me :

was the chorus, and all I recollect, of a very common Irish beggars' song, about thirty years ago, The exp ession, however, is much older, and is plainly alluded to, with the same signification, in the following extract from the violent satire on Cardinal Wolsey, which is, I believe, erroneously attributed to Dr. Bull:

"The cloubbe signifieth playne his tiranny,
Covered over with a Cardinal's hatt,
Wherein shall be fulfilled the prophecy,
Aryse up Jacke, and put on thy salatt,
For the tyme is come of bagge and wulatt."

to the illustration of one of the most beautiful

traditions of Ireland, if any one would contribute these celebrated bells. Mr. N. P. Willis, before a note of the tone, workmanship, or decoration of narrating the legend printed in "N. & Q.," merely observes (Scenery and Antiquities of Ireland, vol. i. P. 106.) that his guide to the belfry called on him

"to admire the size of the bells." If neither in

scriptions nor peculiarities of decoration or conthe bursar of the cathedral, or some of the other struction is observable, probably the accounts of records of the chapter, might afford evidence of the substantial truth of the tradition, and of the period when its incidents occurred.

Mexican, &c. Grammar (Vol. v., p. 585.).—— reply to the Query of W. B. D. respecting grammars of the South American languages compiled by the Spanish missionaries, I would inform him that such an one was drawn up and printed by the Jesuits in their missions in Paraguay of the Guarani language, which is, I believe, the most diffused of the South American native tongues, and forms the basis of very many of the other numerous dialects of that continent. When in

Paraguay in 1842, I procured, with great difficulty, a copy of this work, which, unfortunately, I have not by me so as to describe it exactly; but, to the best of my recollection, it is a very small quarto, and was printed about the end of the seventeenth century at one of the Misiones de Paraguay. The work is doubtless, as W. B. D. surmises, very scarce even in South America or Spain. G. J. R. G. Bishop Merriman (Vol. v., p. 584.).—According to Harris's edition of Ware's Irish Bishops, p. 205., John Merriman was consecrated Bishop of Down in St. Patrick's church, Dublin, on the 19th Jan. 1568-9, by Thomas Lancaster, Archbishop of Dublin, assisted by the Bishops of Kildare, Meath, and Ossory; and we find from the Ulster Inquisitions, published by the Irish Record Commissioners in 1829, that the family existed in the county of Down (in which county the diocese of Down is situate) long after the bishop's death in 1572, and there occupying a highly respectable position in society. In 1606 William Merryman was living in Bishop's Court (part of the episcopal lands of Down), in the barony of Lecale; in 1622 Robert Merryman of Sheepland, another portion of the same episcopal lands in same barony, was one of the trustees of the estates of Arthur Magenis, Viscount Iveagh; and Nic. Maryman, of same place, is also mentioned as having obtained the lands of Glyvett, in same barony, from George Russell, previous to 1663. The name frequently occurs for some years later in the local history of the same district, but seems subsequently to have declined, and to have been called Merryment, latterly spelling it Marmion; a few farmers of which name are still to be found in the baronies of Lecale and Mourne. J. W. H. Birthplace of Andrew Marvell (Vol. v., p. 597.). -If it be "again and again stated that he was born at Hull," which MR. KIDD is "reluctantly compelled to believe" was not the case, having in his possession "authorised documents" proving where the patriot really was born, but which place has not hitherto been disclosed, it may be well to refer your correspondent and others to Poulson's History of the Seigniory of Holderness, vol. ii. p. 480. 4to. 1841, where it is stated that the entry of his birth in the Parish Register of Winestead, of which place his father, Andrew Marvell, became rector, on the presentation of Sir Christopher Hildyard, Knight, on the 16th April, 1614, and resigned the living in 1624 for the Readership of the Holy Trinity Church, Hull, proves that the village of Winestead claims the honour of having been his birthplace.

Foundation Stones (Vol. v., p. 585.).—There appeared in a weekly periodical, the Leisure Hour, of May 21, 1852, the following account of the foundation of Blackfriars Bridge:

Robert Mylne, a Scotch architect, was laid on the Bridge, in honour of William Pitt, the great Earl of 31st October, 1760. It was originally called Pitt's Chatham. If the foundations are ever disturbed, there will be found beneath them a metal tablet, on which is inscribed in Latin the following grateful tribute of the citizens of London to the genius and patriotism of that illustrious statesman. On the last day of October, in the year 1760, and in the beginning of the most auspicious reign of George III., Sir Thomas Chitty, Knt., Lord Mayor, laid the first stone of this bridge, undertaken by the Common Council of London, during the progress of a raging war (flagrante bello), for the ornament and convenience of the city; Robert Mylne being the architect. In order that there might be handed down to posterity a monument of the affection of his genius, by his high-mindedness and courage of the City of London for the man who, by the power (under the Divine favour and happy auspices of George II.), restored, increased, and secured the British Empire, in Asia, Africa, and America, and restored the ancient reputation and power of his country amongst the nations of Europe, the citizens of London have unanimously voted this bridge to be inscribed with the name of William Pitt.'”

the said tablet?

Milton indebted to Tacitus (Vol. v., p. 606.). – in how very many instances the illustrious author I need not remind your correspondent MR. GILL of the Paradise Lost has "borrowed" the thoughts of foregone classics, and, as MR. GILL well says, with "more than returned favour, lending them a heightened expression."

Warton's edition of the Minor Poems of Milton, with its formidable array of parallel passages from other and elder poets, furnishes an abounding example of a prevailing characteristic of Milton's mind, that of reflecting (perhaps unconsciously) the axioms and bright sayings of all ages of literature, stored in his capacious brain-treasury.

No writer of the same rank in genius has, I should suppose, to a greater extent re-fused the sentences of other authors which were worth preserving. Warton, I have heard, produced his edition in no friendly spirit towards the old republican, whom he hated for his politics, but to

manifest the abundance of the poet's obligations to his predecessors. There is no question that Milton borrowed," and unscrupulously; but it was not an Israelitish "borrowing" of the Egyptians; he returned the thoughts he had propriated with added lustre, or, to preserve the image in its integrity, with compound interest. As I remember, Leigh Hunt, when we were speaking on this very subject, acknowledged in his fanciful and humorous vein of language:-"Oh, yes! Milton borrowed' other poets thoughts, but he did not borrow' as gipsies borrow children, spoiling their features that they may not be recognised. No, he returned them improved. Had he borrowed' your coat, he would have restored it, with a new nap upon it!" COWDEN CLARKE.

Plague Stones (Vol. v., p. 226.). There was some time ago, and I believe is still in the neighbourhood of Dorchester, co. Dorset, one of these rare stones; it is situated on the east side of a

public road, not far from the first milestone from Dorchester, on the London turnpike road; it stands near a tree close to the hedge, a few feet beyond the gate leading to Stinsford House, on the road just branched off to Moreton, &c. This stone has not been heretofore noticed, that I am aware of, as a plague stone; it has been commonly considered as a boundary stone, which its position cannot warrant: it is circular in shape, and near four feet high, having a round hollow of dishlike shape excavated on the top of it, and no doubt of the class above alluded to. It has been in the same place beyond the memory of man.

Algernon Sidney (Vol. v., p. 318.).-Niebuhr, when a youth of eighteen, made quite a hero of Algernon Sidney:

"This day," said he, writing from Kiel, Dec. 6th, 1794, "is the anniversary of Algernon Sidney's death III years ago, and hence it is in my eyes a consecrated day, especially as I have just been studying his noble life again. May God preserve me from a death like his; yet even with such a death the virtue and holiness of his life would not be dearly purchased. And now he is forgotten almost throughout the world, and perhaps there are not fifty persons in all Germany who have taken the pains to inform themselves accurately about his life and fortunes. Many may know his name, many know him from his brilliant talents, but they formed the least part of his true greatness."

In 1813, the late George Wilson Meadley, Esq., of Bishopwearmouth, the biographer of Dr. Paley, published Memoirs of Algernon Sidney.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

G. A. T.

Those who, from knowing the active share always taken by Mr. Wright in the proceedings of the Archaological Association, and in the investigations carried on under its auspices in various parts of the country, and who, being aware that with such practical knowledge Mr. Wright combines a very general acquaintance with the antiquarian literature of the Continent generally, have consequently anticipated that his new book The Celt, the Roman, and the Saxon: a History of the early Inhabitants of Britain, down to the Conversion of the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity: illustrated by the Ancient Remains brought to Light by recent Research - would be a volume full of information, pleasantly served up on that recondite subject the primeval antiquities of this countrytaken, as Mr. Wright informs us, for the purpose of will not be disappointed. The work has been undersupplying a Manual of British Archæology; of rendering that science more popular; and of calling the attention of Englishmen more generally to the past history of their country: and, with this latter view more particularly, is plentifully studded with engravings of all such objects as represent the classes or peculiar types with which it is necessary the student should make himself acquainted. Mr. Wright discards altogether the system of archæological periods which has been adopted by the antiquaries of the North, and has treated which they belonged; in fact, to use his own words, antiquarian objects simply according to the races to "has attempted to make archæology walk hand in hand with history." We do not agree with Mr. Wright in this entire rejection of the systems which have been advanced by Worsaae, Thomsen, and others; but we are

bound to admit that in carrying out his own views he has produced a most instructive and readable volume, and one well calculated to assist the student in his apparently dry, but really attractive search into the primeval antiquities of these islands.

Miss Catlow's abilities as a naturalist, and her tact in popularising any subject she undertakes, are too well known to need reiteration on this occasion. We have merely alluded to her possession of those excellent qualities, because our doing so enables us most briefly and most effectually to point out the characteristics of her Popular Scripture Zoology, containing a Familiar History of the Animals mentioned in the Bible, which, got up in the attractive style for which the natural history publications of Messrs. Reeve are always distinguished, forms a volume which at this prize-giving season well deserves the attention of parents and teachers.

The two new parts of Longman's Traveller's Library are little books of great interest and importance. Mr. Hope's Britanny and the Bible; with Remarks on the French People and their Affairs, consists of Notes written at the moment during several years' residence in different parts of that country, and treat principally of the spread of the Scriptures in Britanny, effected as it is chiefly by the labours of Englishmen, and by English aid-although that portion of the book which contains his observations on the late Revolution in France will probably be read with the greatest interest. Mr. Hope is somewhat of an alarmist: but his advice to us, "In fine, trust in Providence, and keep your powder dry, very dry, and the flask in order," is too full of common sense to be neglected. Mr. T. Lindley Kemp's Natural History of Creation is an ably written attempt to describe the laws by which Chaos became gradually fit for the occupation of plants and animals; to show the Creation that is daily going on around us, and the causes of disease upon living bodies. impressions left by this little book upon the mind will far outlast the railway trip during which it may be perused.
