CHARLES LAMB S ALBUM VERSES. 



It was iLe fashion a few years ago for ladies, in 

 particular, to request poets and men of genius and 

 reputation to write verses and their names in 

 their albums, in addition to drawings and en- 

 gravings, &c., with which they illtistrated them. 

 In the year 1830, Mr. Moxon published a volume 

 entitled Album Verses, with a few others, by Charles 

 Lamb. These album verses are addressed, some 

 of them to married, and others to unmarried, 

 ladies of Lamb's acquaintance. He at length 

 grew tired of writing such trifles. It happened 

 about ten years ago, as I was passing through 



Chandos Street, London, that I saw in an old 

 bookseller's window. Lamb's tragedy of John 

 Woo(Iville, Avith a leaf opened, in which was tran- 

 scribed in his well-known hand, the following lines, 

 which may be thought worthy to be perpetuated 

 in the columns of " N. & Q.," as I am not aware 

 they have ever before appeared In print. J. M. Gr.

« What is an Album ? Sept. 7th, 1830. 

 " 'Tis a book kept by modern young ladies for show, 

 Of which their plain grandmothers nothing did know ; , 

 A medley of scraps, half verse, and half prose. 

 And some things not very like either, God knows. 

 The soft first effusions of beaus, and of belles. 

 Of future Lord Byrons, and sweet L. E. L.s ; 

 Where wise folk and simple both equally join. 

 And 2/oM write your nonsense, that / may write mine. 

 Stick in a fine landscape, to make a display — 

 A flower-piece— a foreground — all tinted so gay. 

 As Nature herself, could she see them, would strike 

 With envy to think that she ne'er did the like. 

 And since some Lavaters with head-pieces comical 

 Have agreed to pronounce people's heads physiog- 

 nomical. 

 Be sure that you stuff it with autographs plenty, 

 All penned in a fashion so stiif and so dainty. 

 They no more resemble folk's ord'nary writing 

 Than lines penn'd with pains do extempore writing ; 

 Or our ev'ry day countenance (pardon the stricture), 

 The faces we make when we sit for our picture. 

 Thus you have, Madelina, an Album complete. 

 Which may you live to finish, and I live to see it. 



C. Lamb." 



ETTMOLOay OF THE WORD "FELLOW." 



According to Spelman, this word is derived 

 from the Saxon fe (fides), and lag (legatus) ; 

 whence felag, the final g of which being changed 

 Into IV, as is customary with the Anglo-Normans, 

 we get felawe; as we find the word written by 

 Wickliff, Chaucer, and others. HIckes, on the 

 other hand, would trace it to the Anglo-Saxon 

 folgian, filigian, to follow. I feel, however, dis- 

 posed to doubt the accuracy of either of these 

 conjectures, and am rather inclined to trace the 

 word to the Greek <t>aA\bs, through the French 

 /allot, which signifies a cresset, or lantern or 

 candle affixed to the end of a pole ; and thus 

 resembling the phallus, or symbol of the repro- 

 ductive power of nature, as attached to the ex- 

 tremity of a thyrsus, and borne in heathen times 

 by the priests In celebrating the mystic rites of 

 Bacchus and Priapus. Hence the word /allot 

 became used as an epithet, in speaking of one 

 whose humour was bright and sparkling as a 

 torch : — 



" Sur ce propos voicy entrer Mardoch^e en la chambre, 

 gay et fallot:' — Amadis de Gaule, tom. xi. chap. xiii. 



"A qui le uaia vint ouvrir tout gay et f allot. " — Ib.y 

 chap. xxxi. 



May I here incidentally hazard the conjecture
