NOTES- AND QUERIES. 



[Aug. 11. 1855. 



great cause of Law Reform. Oa the other hand, there 

 ■will not be wanting zealous and enlightened students of 

 Moral and Physical Science, who will regard as his 

 greatest claims to distinction his successful labours in 

 their own more immediate fields of inquiry ; while we 

 have now before us two volumes, which serve to show 

 how eminent a place the name of Henry Brougham is 

 destined to fill in times to come in the literary history of 

 England. These are the first two volumes of a new and 

 uniform edition of Lord Brougham's Critical, Historical, 

 and Miscellaneous Works. The first contains his Lives 

 of Philosophers of the Reign of George III., comprising 

 JBlack, iVatt, Priestley, Cavendish, Davy, Simson, Adam 

 Smith, Banks, and D'Alembert. The value, interest, and 

 instructive character of these biographies have been so 

 generally recognised as to render farther notice of them 

 superduous. We have simply to record their publication, 

 and to remark that they have undergone a thorough 

 revision, and are enriched with much additional illus- 

 tration. The same may be said of the second volume, 

 Lives of Men of Letters of the Reign of George IIL, com- 

 prising Voltaire, Rousseau, Hume, Robertson, Johnson, and 

 Gibbon. This series, which will be completed in ten 

 volumes, is to be followed by a second, devoted to Lord 

 Brougham's Legal, Political, and Professional Works. 



The interest which the natives of these islands must 

 always take in their Scandinavian brethren is at the 

 present moment greatly heightened by a consideration of 

 the influence which they may eventually exercise in the 

 great struggle which is now going on ; a struggle, the 

 result of which cannot but be honourable to the two 

 great nations now for the first time firmly allied, and 

 allied in the great cause of humanity and social progress. 

 The republication, therefore, by Messrs. Longman, in their 

 Traveller's Library, of Mr. Forester's Rambles in Norway 

 among the Fjelds and Fjords of the Central and Western 

 Districts, with Remarks on its Political, Military, Ecclesi- 

 astical, and Social Orgaiiisation, is peculiarly well-timed. 



Mrs. Gatty's Parables from Nature is an attempt " to 

 gather moral lessons from some of the wonderful facts in 

 God's creation." How lovingly and reverently this is 

 done, all who read this new contribution to the libraries 

 of our children will readily admit. Of the parables in 

 this volume our favourite is " Knowledge not the limit of 

 Belief," but all are excellent : while in the eyes of little 

 readers, Mrs. Gatty's artistic illustrations will give the 

 book no small additional value.

H. W. The bell inscription forwarded bij our Correspondent is plainly 

 Ave Gracia Plena. The mark after Plena seems to have been a colon, 

 and converted into the semblance of a letter by some excrescence of the 

 metal. The p. l. are the deficient Utters. The letters are of a very early 

 date, not later than the early part qf the foia-teenth, pr(Aably of the 

 thirteenth century. 



Lancastriensts is thanked for referringus to his very valuable Note on 

 the Lancashire Song in our 10th Vol., p. 158. It is almost impossible that 

 we should recollect what QueHes have already appeared, when those in- 

 terested themselves overlook them. We have three nmo b^ore us. Unds 

 Gentis is anxious for information about the Hoyle Family, and seems 

 not to be aware that his Query upon that point has already appeared in 

 Vol. vii., p. 237. E. H. S. writes to ask about Damian, who in his Dead 

 Alive attributes certain enormities to Queen Elizabeth, but takes no 

 notice qf his Query having already appeared in Vol. x., p. 165. ; johile 

 another Correspondent seems equally unaware that his Quer y respecting 

 the Arras of the Brettel Family has been already inserted in the same 

 Volume, Pi 223. 



W. T!te lines asked for, 



" The Knight's bones are dust, 

 And his good sword rust. 

 His soul is with the saints, I trust," 



are from the conclusion of Coleridge's little poem entitled'Shxi'Kaieb.Vi 

 Tomb. 



R. H. (Oxford), who inquires respecting Tennyson's " Bar of Michael 

 Angelo," is referred to our 2nd Vol., p. 166.
