NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2»<» S. No 67., Jan. 31. '57, 



ChattertorCs Portrait {1"^ S. iii. 54.) — It will 

 be a sad thing if the Note referred to, dis- 

 pelling the popular delusion respecting a por- 

 trait of Chatter ton, should lead any reader of 

 " N. & Q." to go in search of a picture of Rowley. 

 To prevent this, may I be allowed to state, that 

 in p. 54. line 21., the words "painted portrait" 

 should be " printed portrait." Perhaps I should 

 not have used the phrase, if, when I wrote, I had 

 ever heard any talk of "painted" portraits con- 

 nected with the controversy. S. R. M. 



" Acomhhth " (2'"i S. iii. 30.) — This word is, no 

 doubt, from the French combler, to fill quite full ; 

 and in this present instance indicates a horse that 

 " stuffs himself," u gross feeder. H. C. K. 



Motto for an Index (2""* S. i. 413. 481. ; ii. 476.) 

 — The following is, I think, very suitable for the 

 purpose : — 



" Scire ubi aliquid invenire possis magna para erudi' 

 tionis est." 



Abhba. 



John Norden (2"'^ S. ii. 466.) — Perhaps Henry 

 Kensington is not aware of the republication of 

 one of Norden's works by the Parker Society. 

 Its title is A Progress of Piety ^ and prefixed are 

 some particulars respecting it and its author : 



" He was a lavman, as we learn from himself (see 

 p. 118.); and his little work here republis=hed will be ap- 

 preciated by the friends of ttie Reformation as a specimen 

 of the degree in which the influence of that great event 

 had leavened the minds of thinking and religious men at 

 that period." .... 



" Whether he was the same with John Norden, the 

 topographer, is doubtful, though the coincidence in name 

 and time seems to make it probable."

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



Our Notes this week must be confined to the one great 

 Book which is to be opened for all the world to read, in 

 May next, at Manchester. We do not now intend to 

 notice the beautiful worlcs of art which the industry of 

 Mr. Scharf has collected for the Manchester Exhibition — 

 the choice Engravings, the wondrous Photographs which 

 will then be displayed. They will find admirers and 

 chroniclers in every journal in the country. We have to 

 speak of metal " less attractive," but equally instructive 

 and valuable, our Primaeval Antiquities. Mr. Kemble has 

 undertaken to form a Department of Celtic (we ought, 

 perhaps, to say Keltic, after the fashion of the German 

 antiquaries) and Anglo-Saxon Antiquities, and is here 

 busily employed in collecting materials for a topogra- 

 phical (by counties), as well as chronological, series of 

 works of art, from the earliest period of civilisation in 

 these islands. The importance of thus bringing together 

 and arranging the membra sparsa of early civilisation is 

 obvious, and Mr. Kemble hopes for the generous assistance 

 on the part of gentlemen possessed of collections of such 

 objects, in furtherance of his expectation of making this 

 Exhibition a valuable aid to the archaeologist and his- 



torian of culture. There never was yet, and probably 

 never will be again, an occasion like the present. A per- 

 fect system of registration, and the guarantee of some of 

 the most respected gentlemen in England, and the well- 

 known enthusiasm of Mr. Kemble for all that can throw 

 light on the past of our native land, are sufficient to assure 

 the possessors of Celtic or Anglo-Saxon antiquities, that 

 these treasures will be duly and fairly displayed, and care- 

 fully treated. The committee, who bear all charges, have 

 engaged the most experienced packers in England. Mr. 

 Kemble, who is now in Manchester, will shortly proceed 

 to Ireland, where he has reason to expect a warm and 

 hearty support.
