NOTES AND QUERIES. 



395 



and no doubt many were successively added, and 

 as the revolutionary fury proceeded to murder 

 and massacre, it is very likely that stanzas of a 

 sanguinary character may have been interpolated, 

 but I do not remember to have heard or read any 

 such. About the time this song was first in 

 vogue, the mob in the streets began to wear round 

 jackets without skirts (the bonnet rouge followed a 

 little later), and these jackets were then, and I 

 believe still are, sometimes called carmagnoles. 

 The name was certainly derived from Carmagnola, 

 a town in Piedmont, where the dance was pro- 

 bably invented, and which also gave his nom de 

 guerre to the celebrated Francesco Buffo. [Bas- 

 sone ?] 



I wonder that J. H. H. should have had any 

 difficulty in finding the music. I have seen it fre- 

 quently in a separate shape, and I have it in two 

 collections. But I am still more surprised at 

 finding it employed as a chime on so solemn an 

 occasion as Rex describes at Chamounix, and 

 cannot help suspecting some mistake. The air 

 has some resemblance to more than one of the 

 many chimes common in France, called Carillons ; 

 and the improbability of the revolutionary Car- 

 magnole becoming a kind of religious requiem or 

 alleluia in the remotest valley of the Alps is so 

 great that I should suppose that J. H. H. must 

 have misunderstood his informants, or misheard 

 Carmagnole for Carillon. C. 



This shall be copied from a cotemporaneous 

 printed copy, and left for J. H. H. at the pub- 

 lishers, Messrs. Bell & Daldy, next month, as 

 J. H. H. gives no address. F. A. C. 



Magdalen College, Oxford: John Huddleston 

 (2"*^ S. ii. 57.) — I. am under the impression that 

 the Father Huddleston who was confessor to the 

 Duke of York was the same person as the Father 

 liurlston or Hodlestone who aided Charles II. in 

 his escape, after leaving Boscobel. If so, he can 

 hardly be identical with the " John Huddleston " 

 recommended for a Demyship at Magdalen by 

 King James, some five and thirty years after- 

 wards. 



Was this Father Huddleston a Cumberland 

 man, or was he a member of the ancient family of 

 that name at Sawston, near Cambridge? — the pre- 

 sent head of which, according to a recent state- 

 ment in one of the public prints, was at one time 

 all but engaged to Eugenie, now Empress of the 

 French. Henry T. Rilet. 



Celtic Element in the English Language (2"'^ S. 

 ii, 308.) — Eden Warwick will find this subject 

 ably treated by Latham (English Language, 

 Walton and Maberly, 2 vols., 28s.), who divides 

 this Celtic element into five classes. 1. Words of 

 late Introduction, not original and constituent 

 parts of the language. 2. Words common to the 



Celtic and Gothic stocks, and more properly 

 termed Indo-European. 3. Words which have 

 come to us from the Celtic through the medium 

 of some other language. 4. Words which have 

 been retained from the original Celtic, forming 

 constituent parts of the language. 5. Words only 

 employed in the districts bordering upon the 

 Welsh, Cornish, or Gaelic — i. e. provincialisms. 

 Dr. Latham adds that there are no vestiges of 

 the Celtic in the grammatical structure of the 

 English language. Turelkeld. 



Cambridge. 



The Queen's Case Stated (2"'^ S. ii. 329.) — In 

 reply to the inquiry of Uneda, I beg to forward 

 the following lines : 



; " THE queen's alphabet, 



« Bi/ the Hon. W. H. J. Scott. 



" A was an Awning that covered the Queen. 



B was a Bergami, not to be seen. 



C was a Copley, with aquiline beak. 



D was a Denman, who quoted some Greek. 



E was an Eldon, who sends the king's writ. 



F was a Flinn, who went into a fit. 



G was a Giiford, who pockets large fees. 



H was a Hownam, who fell on his knees. 



I was the Inn that Dame Barbara kept. 



J was Jerusalem, where they all slept. 



K was a Keppel, who saw the Queeu walk. 



L was a Lindsey, who heard people talk. 



M was Majocchi, who swore in September : 



N was the Nothing that he could remembet 



was Ompteda, a crony of Cooke's. • 



P was a Partner of Williams and Brooks. 



Q was the Queen, much exposed to attack. 



R was Restelli whom Powell sent back. 



S was a Sacchi, be -hooted and hatted.

X was Ex-Chancellor living in clover. 



Y was the Yacht that they did not send over. 

 Z was the Zealot who brought her to Dover." 



C. Oldershaw. 



Jericho (2"*^ S. ii. 330.) — One of the suburbs 

 of Oxford is called Jericho. Can any of your 

 correspondents say when it first received this 

 name ? It having the reputation of being de- 

 voted to much the same " futile purposes " as the 

 Jericho of Henry VIII., it is just possible that it 

 may have thence derived its name. Are there 

 any more Jerichos in England ? and if yes, where ? 

 and of what character ? Henry T. Riley. 



Ethergingis (2"'^ S. ii. 289.) — This word, which 

 occurs in the Liber Winton, is from the genitive 

 cegtheres ganges, which means " on either side." 



Notary. 



Verses in Richmond Park (2°'^ S. ii. 346.) — 

 Mr. Croker's lines (No. 2.) were affixed to a 

 tree, 7iot in " Richmond Park," where they would 

 have had no meaning, but to a tree in the village 

 of West Moulsey in Surrey, that gentleman's pro-
