'Note for Mr. Worsaae. — At page 204. of The 

 Danes in England, Mr. W. says : 



" Towards Glasgow and Edinburgh the mountains 

 are no longer called 'fell' and 'rigg.' " 



The Campsie Fells, a fine range of hills within 

 nine miles of Glasgow, are an exception. These 

 hills are never spoken of by the natives of the 

 strath except by the name of "fells;" and the 

 singularity of the name has often been remarked 

 to the writer of this note, especially by visitors to 

 the valley. Before being much acquainted with 

 the deeds of the Vikings (except in the general), 

 he had come to the conclusion that the name must 

 be Danish, from its similarity to "Fjeld," with 

 which, in connexion with " Fiords," he had become 

 familiar at a very early period. Bruno. 



Singular Epitaph. — The following epitaph 

 eccurs in Braunston churchyard, Northampton- 

 shire : 

 -" To the Memory of William Borrows, Died 1703. 



"'Tls true I led a single life, 

 ^ And Narc was married in my life, 



For of that Seek {sic) I nare had none : 

 It is the Lord ; his will be done." 



Cranmore. 

 Xargesse. — I heard this old word used the other 

 day in Northamptonshire, by a servant who was 

 leaving his employer, and who called upon one of 

 his master's tradesmen to ask him for largisse, as 

 he termed it. Certainly the peasants have pre- 

 served and handed down to the present time a vast 

 number of old words, customs, and legends. It 

 proves how much they owe to oral tuition. A. B. 



Brogue and Fetch. — There are a certain set of 

 words which have become naturalised in English, 



by those who speak it in Ireland ; as, amadan, a 

 fool ; brogue, a shoe (Ir. hrog) ; palaver, fine speak- 

 ing, soft talk (Ir. pi-lubhradh). These are all Irish 

 words ; but there are others which are not English, 

 and yet it is hard to make them out Irish. Brogue, 

 meaning a broad Irish accent, is an instance ; fetch 

 is another : 



" In Ireland (says Mr. Banim) & fetch is the super- 

 natural facsimile of some individual, which comes to 

 assure to its original | or his friend or relative] a happy 

 longevity or immeiiate dissolution. If seen in the 

 morning, the one event is predicted j if in the evening, 

 the other," 



Taibhse (pr. thaivshe) is the Irish word, and 

 perhaps fetch might be derived from it by a sort, 

 of metathesis. Eiriojsnach. 



Derivation of " Caul.'" — 



" Guianerius, cap. 36., De ^gritud. Matr., speaks of 

 a silly, jealous fellow, that, seeing his child new born, 

 included in a kell (meaning a caul), thought sure a 

 Franciscan, that used to come to his house, was the 

 father of it, it was so like the friar's cowl, and thereupon 

 threatened the friar to kill him!" — Burton's Anatomy 

 of Melancholy, part iii. sec. 3. 



By this may we judge that caul and cowl are 

 cognate ? Coif (Martial.), in Latin Reticulum ; 

 whence a lady's reticule. B. B. 



" Pandecte" an entire Copy of the Bible. — Dr. 

 Maitland, in his valuable essays on the Dark Agesy 

 has drawn attention to this use of the word Pan- 

 decte, but was not at the time aware that it is so 

 employed by any writer before Alcuin (p. 194. 

 n. 9. ed. 1844). It will be found, however, ia 

 the following extract from Bede's Chronicon (in 

 Monument. Britan., p. 101. a). The historian is 

 speaking of certain presents which his abbot, 

 Ceolfrith, was carrying with him on his pilgrimage 

 to Rome, when death cut it short at Langres : 



" Qui inter alia donaria quae adferre disposuerat» 

 misit ecclesise S. Petri pandectem a B. Hieronymo in 

 Latinum ex Hebraeo vel Gxseco foiite translatum."

BOY BISHOP AT ETON. 



In Heywood's edition of the Statutes of King's 

 College, Cambridge, and Eton College (Longman, 

 1850), a MS. is quoted under the title of Consue- 

 tudinarium vetu^ Scholce Etoniensis (sic), Harl. MSS. 

 7044, p. 167. From a MS. in Corpus Christi 

 College, Cambridge. 



It is a sort of Fasti Etonenses, recording in 

 somewhat quaint terms the old customs which were 

 then traditionary in the school. In the month of 

 November, according to this authority, "in die
