Hymnology (2"* S. X. 169.) — The original frag- 

 ment of this hymn by H. K. White is as follows :— 



" Much in sorrow, oft in woe. 



Onward, Christian, onward go; 



Fight the fight, and worn with strife, 



Steep with tears the bread of life. 

 " Onward, Christians, onward go, 



Join the war, and face the foe : 



Faint not — much doth yet remain. 



Dreary is the long campaign. 



" Shrink not. Christians — will ye yield ? 

 Will ye quit the painful field ? * 



Written on the back of oneof the mathematical 

 papers of this excellent young man.

Vulgar Errors in Law (2°^ S. x. 191.) — 

 Burn says : — 



" When it is vulgarly said that first cousins may 

 marry, but second cousins cannot ; probably this arose by 

 confounding these two laws" (the canon and the civil 

 law), " for first cousins may marry by the civil law, and 



second cousins cannot b}' the canon law But now 



by . . . statute ... it is clear, that both first and second 

 cousins mav marry."

Fallens (2"^ S. x. 168.) — Although joaZZews 

 generally means pale, wan, it also means, (1.) to 

 lose its natural colour; (2.) yellow; (3.) green; 

 (4.) dark and black.

or blue, a very sickly shade. Thff above epithet 

 applied to the violet or the ivy might indeed de- 

 note a pale variety of either, though the use of the 

 word would not be so strictly applicable. In 

 (^Eclogue, vii. 38.) " Hedera formosior alba," this 

 variegated ivy is probably referred to. Pliny 

 mentions three distinct varieties of the violet, — 

 purple, yellow, and white ; also the white olive, to 

 all of which he attributes certain medicinal pro- 

 perties, differing in value according to their re- 

 spective colours. Herbage, we know, in a state of 

 exclusion from the light, like the grass found 

 under stones, &c., would present a very pale, 

 ghastly hue ; " pallens " might in this case denote 

 its etiolation. F. Phillott,

"To be Lett at Fountainbridges, the House presently 

 possest by Mansfeldt Cardonnel, Esq., Commissioner of

 — Adv. Edin. Evening Courant, Tuesday, February 19th, 

 1745. 



The death of this gentleman is noticed in the 

 Scots Mag. for Nov. 1780 : — 



" 12 Nov. At Musselburgh, in the 84th year of his age 

 Mansfeldt Cardonnel, Esq., a Commissioner of the Cus- 

 toms in Scotland, which place he held for thirty-six 

 years. By his mother he was a grandson of the Duke of 

 Monmouth, and not a distant relation of Oliver Cromwell. 

 His father was secretary to the great Duke of Schomberg, 

 who was killed at the battle of the Boyne, and was after- 

 wards Commissioner of either the Customs or Excise in 

 London." 



He was also Commissioner of the Salt Duties. 



The name of Adam Cardonnel and Adam de 

 Cardonnel (who is I presume his son, and author 

 of the works mentioned at p. 187.), occurs at the 

 same period as clerk to the customs.

Waltham Abbey (2°'' S. x. 1 89.) — Accord- 

 ing to Dugdale {Monasticon, edition by Caley, &c. 

 vi. 56.) Harold, the son of Earl Godwin, endowed 

 Waltham Abbey with seventeen manors, and Ed- 

 ward the Confessor confirmed them to the dean 

 and canons. The names are given in the Monas- 

 ticon. This landed endowment was for the most 

 part undisturbed by the Conqueror, and the state 

 of the lands held by the abbey in capite at the time 

 of the Domesday Survey is given in the Appendix 

 to Dugdale's account. Henry II. confirmed the 

 Confessor's charter, with many parcels of land 

 and tenements, which benefactors had afterwards 

 bestowed on the foundation, and also gave the 

 rich manors of Sewardston and Epping. Richard 

 I. granted to the canons his whole manor of Wal- 

 tham, with the great wood and park called Harold's 

 Park, 300 acres of assart-land, the market of Wal- 

 tham, the village of Nasing, a member of Wal- 

 tham, and 160 acres assart-land there, they paying
